"Where are my legs?"
"How did my legs disappear?"
"Who stole my legs?"
"Who is so wicked to steal my proud and slender legs?"
The Guiche(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird) discovered that its legs were gone, and it seemed to be stimulated in some way, as if this fact was too cruel for it to accept.
"What's all the noise? It's a blessing that your legs caught the eye of my master and mistress, something you couldn't cultivate in eight lifetimes."
At this moment, a cold snort sounded, and a transcendent aura fell on the clamoring Guiche(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird), and the Guiche(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird) instantly quieted down.
The Guiche(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird) looked in the direction of the sound, and only saw a large cauldron standing on the ground, with a raging fire burning inside. Above the cauldron, two energy hands transformed, each hand grabbing a leg that could be identified as poultry at a glance, roasting it.
But... those two golden and juicy legs, why do they look so familiar?
Aren't these my legs?
Guiche's(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird) nine heads couldn't process it all at once, and its eighteen eyes stared intently at the legs being roasted by the raging fire above the cauldron.
A strange and pleasant smell kept entering its nine nostrils.
To be honest, it smelled quite good, and it even had the urge to swallow it in one gulp.
"That's... I... mine..."
"Nonsense, if it's not your legs, whose legs would it be?"
Guiche(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird) stammered before finishing its words, but Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) interrupted it. At this time, Guiche(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird) was still being suppressed by the transcendent aura emanating from Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron). Not to mention that its body couldn't move, even its divine soul felt like it had entered a state of time stagnation.
"That..." Guiche(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird) didn't know how to address Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron).
"I am Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron), the master's natal weapon." Changsheng Ding's(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) tone was extremely proud. It indeed had the capital to be proud, because it was Gu Changsheng's(顾长生: Gu Changsheng, a name) natal weapon. As long as it stayed by Gu Changsheng's(顾长生: Gu Changsheng, a name) side, it would sooner or later reach a realm that no other magic weapon could reach as time passed.
Guiche(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird) was shocked inside. It quickly said, "Brother Ding, can you please withdraw your aura? Little brother can't bear it."
"Brother Ding? You're not stupid for a monster bird!"
Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) was amused by Guiche's(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird) address, and it withdrew its aura.
"What's your name? Never mind, I see you have nine heads, so I'll call you A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname)."
When Guiche(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird) heard Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) ask for its name, it was about to speak, but suddenly gained a name. However, did it dare not be called "A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname)"?
"Thank you, Brother Ding, for giving me a name. From now on, I will be called A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname)." Guiche(鬼车: Guiche, a mythical bird), no, now it should be called A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname), A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) responded with a chuckle. The nine heads laughed at different frequencies, revealing a kind of eerie and terrifying horror. No wonder it was called a demon bird. Even if it didn't cause trouble, just the laughter was enough to scare some people out of their wits.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) couldn't stand A Jiu's(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) laughter either, and quickly told it to stop. What if it scared the surrounding flowers and plants if it kept laughing? These were just planted by the mistress not long ago.
"In the future, you can only laugh with one head." Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) said.
"Uh..."
"Okay, Brother Ding!"
A man must lower his head under the eaves. Besides, it was the meat on the chopping board, which was much more downcast than the former.
"A child is teachable!"
Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) was very satisfied with A Jiu's(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) attitude, so it asked, "Although your cultivation is a bit rubbish, you are still a celestial venerable. Why are you shouting and yelling after cutting off two thighs to bake, as if it's going to kill you? If it spreads out, your majesty as a celestial venerable will be gone."
"And do you know that I work very hard? Your flesh is too fragile. I tried my best to control the heat just now, for fear of burning these two thighs all at once. You shouted and yelled, almost made me make a mistake. Fortunately, I have already reached the realm of microscopic, otherwise I would have been harmed by you."
"If it's burnt, how can I explain to the master and mistress?"
Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) was like a talking box that had been opened at this moment, and a continuous stream of words came out of the cauldron.
"Brother Ding, can I explain?" A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) asked cautiously.
"Speak!" A word was uttered decisively from Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron).
"You see, I have ten necks, but only nine heads. Do you know why?" A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) asked.
"..."
Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) remained silent.
"..."
Seeing that Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) didn't speak, A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) didn't dare to continue speaking.
"Is this your explanation?" After a while, Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) asked.
What kind of explanation is this? It's simply irrelevant!
"No, no, little brother hasn't finished speaking yet." A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) said quickly.
"Then you hurry up and say it." Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) said in a bad mood. If it weren't for the boy's humble attitude, it would definitely not bother to pay attention. It even has nine heads, which are not as smart as one head of others.
A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) didn't dare to delay, and directly stated the reason why it had ten necks but only nine heads.
It turned out that it was born with ten heads, and each head possessed a powerful supernatural power. However, after the battle with Taixu Xianzun(太虚仙尊: Taixu Xianzun, a name) that year, Taixu Xianzun(太虚仙尊: Taixu Xianzun, a name) cut off one of its heads and sealed it in an unknown place.
If that was the case, that would be fine, but the problem was that the head that Taixu Xianzun(太虚仙尊: Taixu Xianzun, a name) cut off contained the strongest supernatural power among the ten, which was rebirth. As long as this head was fine, even if other parts turned into nothingness, it could be reborn instantly.
But the strongest head also became its weakness. I don't know if Taixu Xianzun(太虚仙尊: Taixu Xianzun, a name) was lucky or knew its weakness long ago, but he happened to cut off this head and sealed it up.
Without the supernatural power of rebirth, it was always worried about gains and losses during the battle with Taixu Xianzun(太虚仙尊: Taixu Xianzun, a name), and soon it was defeated, so it signed a series of agreements with Taixu Xianzun(太虚仙尊: Taixu Xianzun, a name).
Without the supernatural power of rebirth, it couldn't even regenerate severed limbs, To be honest, this is really embarrassing for a celestial venerable.
This is also the reason why it was screaming after losing its legs before. Now it is a disabled celestial venerable.
"Brother Ding, what you said just now is right. Little brother really embarrassed the celestial venerable. Without a head, I can't even regenerate."
At the end, A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) seemed to have suffered infinite grievances, and his voice choked.
After listening, Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) also sighed that the way of heaven is fair.
Creatures like A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) who were born at the beginning of heaven and earth naturally possess powerful strength, and stand on the peak of countless people as soon as they are born. This is the gift of heaven, but the way of heaven has always emphasized balance. Giving you such powerful supernatural power cultivation will naturally have corresponding constraints.
And A Jiu's(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) constraint is its strongest head.
"It's okay, it's okay. Since you call me Brother Ding, then I, as a brother, certainly can't let you be disabled. Taixu Xianzun(太虚仙尊: Taixu Xianzun, a name) is my master's junior brother's disciple. I'll tell the master and guarantee to solve the problem for you."
Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) comforted.
"Really?"
A Jiu's(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) eighteen eyes lit up, especially conspicuous at this evening hour.
"That's natural. My master caught you back not just for a meal." Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) said.
"Uh..."
A Jiu(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) didn't know what to say. It felt like it was just a domesticated poultry? This...
"Your cultivation is too low. I have to suggest to the master to improve your cultivation, otherwise I always need to control the heat as much as possible, which is too troublesome." Changsheng Ding(长生鼎: Longevity Cauldron) said again.
"What?"
A Jiu's(阿九: A Jiu, a nickname) eighteen eyes were as wide as small suns. If it could really improve its cultivation, then wouldn't it become an immortal emperor? Then... in this case, being raised as poultry is not unacceptable!
...
