Perhaps the nether totem was the dream of the entire Qing Huo Tribe, but this dream did not belong to Qing Huo Qi Ming.
His grandfather was the hero of the tribe, his father was the shame of the tribe, and his adoptive father was the strongest shaman of the Qing Huo Tribe in history who had completed the nether totem … They had all died because of this.
The Qing Huo Tribe was crushed by an impossible dream.
And Qing Huo Qi Ming was only a youth who had lost his father, grandfather, and adoptive father.
Because of these repeated losses, he developed a fear of the Nether Heaven and did not dare to go near it. Thus, the tribe saw him as a disgrace and called him a coward. Although he had inherited the position of shaman, he was not respected.
Jiang Wang never understood what Qing Huo Qi Ming was thinking when he jumped down from the Nether Heaven.
Their interaction was so short. Other than the Fiery Bone Lotus on his back, there seemed to be no trace left behind. But Qing Huo Qi Ming's jump would occasionally appear in his mind — when he looked up at the starry sky.
Some people were born strong, while others might never be able to defeat mediocrity. But under the same starry sky, did they have the same right to live? Or was it natural selection, where only the fittest could survive?
This was the question that Qing Huo Qi Ming left in Jiang Wang's mind.
…
…
Qu Country was considered the border between the North and East Regions. It was also an independent country and had disputes with Zheng all year round.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the friction between the two countries was only on the surface. In reality, there had never been any major movements. It could be said that they were covering for each other.
Qu and Zheng, these two countries, for many years, could be considered to be the three overlords of Jing, Qi, and Mu. Their days were actually pretty good.
Speaking of Qu, Jiang Wang's first impression was that Qu Country's border general was assassinated by No Door to Hell. This was Yin Guan's first mission after establishing No Door to Hell. At that time, it shook the East Regions, and No Door to Hell became famous.
After that, it was only when Yin Guan became a god that Qu Country took down the wanted poster.
Stepping on Qu Country's soil, a sense of security arose spontaneously.
Here, they were back in the East Regions.
Although the grassland was safe and comfortable, it was not as safe as in the East Regions.
After all, his official position and title were the most useful in the East Regions.
However, when he thought about it carefully, other than Qi, he didn't seem to have a peaceful life in the Eastern Region …
It was early August when they left the Eastern Domain. When they returned to the Eastern Region, it was already September. One of Linzi's Seven Sceneries, Red Maple Clouds, was already past its peak season.
In the short span of a month, he had gone through several life and death situations. He had taken a huge detour, passing through the Northern Region and circling back to the Eastern Region. He could not help but sigh with emotion.
The injuries on his body were completely healed at this time, and his body and mind had recovered to their peak condition.
He didn't know if it was because he had been using the Five Prefectures Simultaneous Glory to recover himself, but the Ruyi Immortal Robe had also recovered.
Finally, he didn't have to look like a beggar, wearing rags on the inside and coarse linen on the outside … Even the dragon-head walking stick would be regarded as a dog beating stick.
Jiang Wang sometimes thought that even if Qi Ting didn't have any requests for him, he wouldn't have exposed his identity in such a state …
This small city within the borders of Qu Country was called Jade Light. In the early years, there was a huge jade mine nearby. Mining, selling, carving … many people depended on this place for a living.
Those miners and merchants gathered here for a long time, and slowly, a city was formed.
The name "Jade Light" first referred to the Radiance of Jade, and then it became "Jade Light".
Jiang Wang found a tavern that was pleasing to the eye and took a table to himself. He warmed up a pot of wine and ordered two catties of sliced mutton. He listened to the discussions of the people, and the various lives …
Some talked about domestic trivialities, and some talked about the situation in the Eastern Region.
This city, which was mainly formed by miners, was not as rough as imagined. On the contrary, it was warm and comfortable.
Maybe it was because jade nourished people, or maybe it was because after the jade mine was exhausted, the people here changed several times, and the whole city developed other industries.
With his current cultivation, ordinary wine could no longer intoxicate people, but Jiang Wang was eating mutton lazily at this moment. He drank one or two mouthfuls from time to time, and he also felt a little tipsy.
From the environment to himself, he was in a safe state, and this made him feel relaxed.
From the vast and sparsely populated grassland, he returned to the densely populated Eastern Region. The vastness of nature and the prosperity of the human world made him feel comfortable.
"Sir, what would you like to order?"
"A pot of wine and a plate of fennel beans."
This conversation attracted Jiang Wang's attention.
With his current control of the Dao of Sound, as long as he heard a voice once, it would be difficult for him to forget it. Especially after activating the Immortal Sound state, the voice he heard a long time ago would also obediently provide information, because "all sounds are in the same place".
He didn't look back, and his eating and drinking movements didn't change at all. He just silently activated the Immortal Sound state.
"Sir, what kind of wine would you like?"
"The best."
This person who just entered the restaurant was a little taciturn.
But Jiang Wang had already caught it.
The sound was in his ears, and the relevant information had already appeared.
Tracing back to the origin, the last time the two of them talked was at the battlefield of Qi Yang in Red Tail County.
At that time, this person only said one sentence: "Got it, thank you!"
Jiang Wang silently drank the wine in the cup and ate the last few slices of mutton.
The waiter, who had been paying attention to this side, quickly came forward. "Sir, what would you like to add?"
Jiang Wang shook his head as a sign of refusal.
He had already paid for the wine and meat, so he casually put on the cloak that was standing on the corner of the table and stood up.
As he put away the dragon-headed walking stick that was leaning against his leg, he took out the sheathed Sauvignon Blanc from the storage box, held it in his hand, and walked toward the customer who just entered the restaurant.
Seeing this scene, the waiter shrank back two steps.
The people in the restaurant were still eating and drinking, chatting and laughing.
But gradually, some people realized that something was wrong and looked over.
Only the ordinary-looking young man sitting sideways across from Jiang Wang leisurely picked up a fennel bean and threw it into his mouth. He didn't even turn his head, and only asked casually, "What's the matter?"
After experiencing so much, he had cultivated an extraordinary aura. He wasn't as lazy as before, nor was he as hurried as he was when they met on Haimen Island. He was quite calm, as if he was indifferent to the situation.
Everyone had their own fortuitous encounters, and everyone was growing.
"Yang Xuance, oh Yang Xuance," Jiang Wang said, "You did a great thing in Zhaoheng City. You caused me so much trouble."
His words had already revealed his identity.
Yang Xuance suddenly turned his head!
The moment he turned his head, his eyes shone with a brilliant golden light, and actually produced raging flames. The raging flames instantly covered the distance between him and Jiang Wang. The flame snake burned fiercely, and it seemed to want to devour someone.
Jiang Wang only stretched out his hand, and the suppression from the True Samadhi Fire extinguished the raging flames all over the place, eliminating a disaster that might have affected the entire restaurant.
But Yang Xuance's figure had already disappeared!
Jiang Wang stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air. A bit of the remaining flames he grasped turned into the shape of a small blade of grass, and lowered his head to guide the way.
After this period of combing through Daoist techniques, his Daoist technique tracing had improved. Although it still couldn't be considered an excellent tracking technique, it could still provide clues at a time when he had grasped a certain trace.
The waiter only saw the raging flames in the sky. Before he could panic, he saw them being extinguished by a hand.
And the linen-clothed man who had eaten the mutton before making a move had already stepped out of the restaurant.
