Hidden Sword's figure went further and further away until it disappeared into the horizon.
After bidding farewell to Hidden Small Sword, Lu Qingshan rubbed his forehead with a headache.
"You don't know how to face Madam Mo?" Qin Yitian could see Lu Qingshan's frustration.
Lu Qingshan nodded.
Next, he had to tell Mo Zhizhi about the death of her husband and son.
He couldn't imagine how big of a blow this news would be to Mo Zhizhi.
But no matter how much of a headache he had, since he had promised Mo Yan, he had to do it.
"Forget it, Miss Qin. Let's go back to Dragon City first." Lu Qingshan rubbed his forehead and called out to Qin Yitian.
Qin Yitian nodded.
.....
Dragon City, wood carving shop.
Two streaks of light stopped and landed slowly.
"You're finally back!" The Western Rat King, who had strong senses, was the first to notice Lu Qingshan's aura. He jumped out of the shop excitedly to welcome Lu Qingshan.
But when the Western Rat King saw that only Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian were at the door, he was stunned. Maybe he was imagining something, but he cried out in a trembling voice, "Why is it only the two of you? Where's Hidden Sword? No way … "
A cloth bag flew out of Lu Qingshan's hand toward the Western Rat King.
The Western Rat King hurriedly caught the cloth bag that was bigger than his body. "What's this?"
"Hidden Sword had something urgent to do. She didn't have time to say goodbye to you, so she went home first. This is her gift for you." Lu Qingshan said, "Madam Mo is still inside, right?"
"Gift?" The Western Rat King smiled. He couldn't wait to open the cloth bag and answered, "Madam Mo is inside. She's been restless. She made me nervous too …"
Lu Qingshan walked towards the wood carving shop and asked casually, "What gift did Hidden Sword leave for you?"
He was indeed curious. However, this was something that Hidden Sword had gifted to the Western Rat King. It would be inappropriate for him to open it without the permission of the Western Rat King.
"It's a book …" The Western Rat King's excitement turned into tears. "The gift that Hidden Sword gave me was a book …"
The cloth bag contained a few ancient books.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the Western Rat King, who was flipping through the ancient book with a hopeless expression.
I wonder what kind of book Hidden Sword left for the Western Rat King. It even has such exquisite illustrations.
Lu Qingshan mumbled, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.
Madam Mo hadn't explained everything clearly yet. This was the most important thing at the moment.
However, after taking a few more steps, a thought flashed through his mind.
"Wait." Lu Qingshan was unsure. He mumbled, "Why do I feel that the illustration looks familiar … like I've seen it somewhere before?"
"What book did Hidden Sword leave for you?" Lu Qingshan stopped and said to the Western Rat King, "Let me see."
The Western Rat King tossed the book to Lu Qingshan.
The title of the book was written in tiny characters on the cover.
[South Sea Spirit Beast Diagram]
"This is what I was looking at when Hidden Sword caught me," the Western Rat King mumbled.
Lu Qingshan flipped through the South Sea Spirit Beast Diagram and turned to the page that he had just glanced at.
He was entranced by it. After a long time, he suddenly flew into the sky on his sword.
Qin Yitian blinked. She didn't know what was going on, but she subconsciously prepared to follow.
"Bring me along!" The Western Rat King quickly leaped onto Qin Yitian's shoulder.
Qin Yitian glanced at the Western Rat King. Without saying anything, she turned into a beam of light and followed Lu Qingshan.
This time, Lu Qingshan flew on his sword to a very high altitude before stopping. Looking down, all he could see was blue, and the air was thin.
Qin Yitian turned into a beam of red light and stopped beside Lu Qingshan. Seeing Lu Qingshan's serious expression, she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Qingshan handed over the book in his hand and pointed at the Dragon Island below. "Don't you think this Dragon Island looks familiar?"
Qin Yitian looked down. Due to the height, she could vaguely see the outline of the Dragon Island.
The Dragon Island was as majestic as a mountain. It was very long, but only the head and the middle were wider. The further one went, the narrower it became.
The Spirit Abyss was located at the head of the Dragon Island.
"Familiar?" Qin Yitian still didn't understand what Lu Qingshan meant. She looked back at the book in her hand.
A picture of a grayish-white whale came into view.
The whale's body was as big as a mountain. It gradually narrowed from head to tail. The fins at the tail were heart-shaped, and the blowhole on the top of its head was like the mouth of a volcano.
Qin Yitian's eyes narrowed. She looked at the outline of the Dragon Island again. She couldn't believe it. "Mr. Lu, you mean …?"
Lu Qingshan nodded.
The Western Rat King was the only one who didn't understand. He scratched his head anxiously. "Lu Qingshan, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand what you mean?"
Lu Qingshan didn't leave the Western Rat King hanging. Instead, he asked, "Do you remember the story of the Whale Island that the storyteller told us in the teahouse in Bibo City?"
The Western Rat King nodded. "Yes, I do. The storyteller was very boastful.
It was said that in the boundless ocean, there was a long-lived whale species floating on the surface of the ocean. It was huge and liked to sleep. It would sleep for millions of years, unmoved by the wind and rain. After a long time, it evolved into an island. At that time, it was exposed by the other customers and was even mocked … "
The West Rat King's voice gradually stopped. He finally reacted. He looked at the picture of the long whale in the South Sea Spirit Beast Diagram and then looked down at the Flood Dragon Island. He rubbed his eyes and pointed at the Flood Dragon Island with his paw, trembling with excitement. He said in disbelief, "The outline of the Flood Dragon Island is exactly the same as the shape of the long whale in this diagram?!"
"That's not right." After the Western Rat King recovered from its shock, it suddenly shook its head. "Lu Qingshan, you can't conclude that the Dragon Island was transformed from the long-lived whale just because the outline of the island is similar to the long-lived whale. After all, there are many coincidences in this world."
"Indeed, there are many coincidences in this world. Just the similarity of the two doesn't mean anything." Lu Qingshan didn't disagree with the Western Rat King's statement. "However, there is a mysterious volcano on the Dragon Island called the Spirit Abyss.
The Spirit Abyss is bottomless. Usually, it emits a strong suction force that swallows everything. It also erupts from time to time. What it erupts is not magma, but mist that fills the sky. "
Qin Yitian read the detailed description of the long-lived whale in the [South Sea Spirit Beast Diagram]. "The long-lived whale is the oldest spirit beast in the South Sea. It likes to sleep, and its lifespan is almost limitless.
The long-lived whale hibernates all year round because there is a small Qian Kun Small World in its stomach. The Small World is the source of the long-lived whale. As long as the Small World is not destroyed, the long-lived whale will not die.
In order to strengthen the Small World, the long-lived whale hibernates all year round to reduce its energy consumption.
The entrance and exit of the Small World is the air vent above the long-lived whale's head.
The long-lived whale absorbs the Spiritual Power and air between heaven and earth through this air vent at all times to strengthen the Small World in its stomach. It also expels the poisonous gas in the Small World from time to time. "
"The description of the air vent is exactly the same as the characteristics of the Spirit Abyss." Qin Yitian put down the [South Sea Spirit Beast Diagram].
