Beastmaster of the Ages

Many people know that the city of God has a well-developed water system with rivers all over the place.

There are dozens of great rivers flowing through the divine capital!

The river is surging, rushing towards the rivers and seas.

One of the rivers points directly to the north. It is the most magnificent water system in the divine capital. The part within the divine capital is called the "Feng Yue River" and is the most prosperous and luxurious place in the divine capital.

However, the part of this river outside the Divine Capital continues to flow north, and finally merges into the Northern Sea of ​​Hell, which is called the "North Hell River".

It is said——

The end of the Beiming River is the place where the ancient royal family originated.

Before the Fireworks Festival, there was a heavy downpour in the entire God City, which caused the water levels of the rivers in the City of God to rise a lot. The river water gathered from the mountains rushed through the City of God, rumbling towards the North Sea of ​​Hell.

To the north of the divine capital is a vast forest.

The Beiming River rolled through the forest, splashing with dim yellow water and uprooting many trees.

The heavy rain fell, and the little beasts in the forest hid.

Right on the edge of the Beiming River in a corner of the forest——

An old man wearing a tattered raincoat and a dark yellow bamboo hat was sitting on the ground in the mud. He was holding a slender bamboo pole in his hand, with a thin string hanging from the top of the pole. It fell into the river, and a float trembled in the waves.

The heavy rain caused mud and water to splash. The old man's body was covered with mud and his face was also somewhat dirty.

However, he was smiling, content, and quite at ease.

Judging from his appearance, this man is about fifty years old. He already has some white hair on his head, some wrinkles have begun to appear on his face, and his back is slightly rickety.

As soon as he sat by the river, he didn't know how many hours had passed.

At this time, a little girl of five or six years old, riding a small fragrant pig companion beast, jumped and jumped in the forest, happily passing by.

She had such a great time, and along the way, she let out that silvery bell-like laughter, which was particularly strange mixed with the sound of the rainstorm and the river waves.

"Grandpa, are you fishing?" The little girl saw the angler and curiously jumped off the little pig and came to the old man's side.

"Yes, baby girl." The old man said with a smile.

"But the river is so fast that the little fish won't take the bait, and your bait will be washed away soon." The little girl said seriously.

"Really? But the river is fast, so big fish will come out of the hole. Grandpa likes to catch big fish," the old man said.

"Greedy! The big fish is very strong. Grandpa, you can't even lift it!" the little girl said with a smile.

"You little girl, how dare you look down on grandpa? Just wait, grandpa will catch a big fish for you right now." The old man smiled.

"Humph, then I want to take a good look!" The little girl also sat down.

On this rainy day, she was covered in mud while playing, like a clay doll. However, the mud cannot cover up the innocence and purity of the little life. Those eyes blink and blink, like gems on a rainy day. The more the raindrops wash away, the more transparent they become.

After a while——

"Here comes the big fish!" The old man lifted the fishing rod up. Sure enough, a fish took the bait. After struggling in the water for a while, the old man lifted it up.

The two of them took a closer look and found that the fish they caught was only two fingers wide, not enough for a small fragrant pig to take a bite.

"Hee hee, what a little fish, grandpa, you lose!" The little girl was so happy that she held her belly and laughed non-stop.

"Haha... Grandpa was bragging. He made a mistake! I let a little girl like you see the joke. I feel ashamed, I feel ashamed." The old man laughed and laughed for a while. He picked up a water ladle, filled some water with it, and put the little fish in it. Put it in.

"Grandpa, are you going to give me the little fish?" the little girl asked, blinking her big eyes.

"You guessed it right, so smart." The old man smiled.

"That's right, my parents say I'm very smart!"

"Then do you like raising little fish?"

"I like it! Thank you, grandpa. I will definitely raise the little fish." The little girl took the water ladle, her eyes flashing and shining.

Because this is a colorful little fish. Although it is small, it is really beautiful.

"That's great. Grandpa also likes to raise little fishes." He smiled, paused, and then said: "Daughter, would you like to chat with grandpa? Grandpa is always lonely. As he gets older, he always likes to mess around. think."

"Okay!" The little girl held the little fish and sat on the edge obediently, saying, "Is there only one grandpa? How pitiful."

"Well, for a long time, I have only been by myself. But, grandpa likes fishing and raising small fish, so he is not so lonely sometimes." The old man said.

"But Xiao Yu'er can't speak and can't help grandpa relieve his boredom." The little girl said.

"You don't understand this, baby, I heard grandpa say that any life, even a little fish, has thoughts. This is the beauty of life. It is not a number. It starts from birth. , I began to experience things, and from these things, I generated my own ideas. Maybe a small fish has very few experiences and ideas, but hundreds of thousands or millions of them gather together, and that is called 'Tao'. "

"Tao? What is Tao? Grandpa, is it something delicious?" the little girl asked, tilting her head.

"Yes, Tao is very delicious. Grandpa likes it the most." The old man said with a smile.

"I want to eat it too," the little girl said.

"If you eat it, your mouth will be sore. Do you still eat it?"

"Then... forget it, I'll eat the food cooked by my mother, it's delicious!" said the little girl.

"Haha, that's right. Only rotten people like Grandpa would eat those rotten things."

Just as he said this, there was a shouting sound in the distance.

The little girl was startled, stood up and said anxiously: "Grandpa, my parents are here to see me. I'm going home first, and I'll come and play with grandpa next time!"

"Okay." The old man nodded.

"Zhuzhu, let's go." The little girl turned over and rode the little fragrant pig with vigorous movements, still holding the water ladle in her hand.

"Goodbye, grandpa!"

"Goodbye baby."

Maybe he was running in a hurry, the little fragrant pig stirred a little, and the little girl fell down and fell into the mud.

"Wow!" The little girl cried with tears streaming down her face.

The old man quickly put down the fishing rod, stepped forward to help her up, tremblingly took out a piece of cloth from his arms, wiped the little girl's face clean, and muttered: "You are so young, you have to be careful when walking. Many people fall down once and never get up again."

"Grandpa, the little fish is gone!" the little girl said while crying.

"It's okay. Grandpa will look for it. Don't worry. Grandpa has some small fishes, billions of them." The old man said with a smile.

suddenly--

A young man and woman appeared in the forest.

At a glance, they saw an old man grabbing a little girl and smiling ugly, while the little girl was still sobbing.

"Shameless old man, get out!" The man came up instantly and kicked the old man in the chest. The old man flew out and hit a tree, unable to get up for a long time.

"Daddy, you...you..." The little girl was frightened and completely speechless, with tears streaming down her face.

"Hurry up and go home with dad, let you run around! The world is in chaos now, and there are so many bad people. Are you looking for death?" The man was a little stern and picked up the little girl.

"Grandpa, grandpa..." The little girl looked at the old man who fell on the ground with tears in her eyes. She didn't even say anything. In the blink of an eye, she and her companion beast Xiao Xiangzhu were taken away by her parents.

Heavy rain poured down, and the rain curtain engulfed the whole world. More and more water accumulated in the low-lying areas of the forest, almost submerging the old man who fell on the ground.

He lay motionless on the ground.

But actually——

His eyes were kept open, quietly looking at the muddy water in front of him.

"I caught you!" He suddenly stretched out his hand and caught a colorful little fish in the muddy water.

"You still want to escape from the palm of my hand, you are naughty!"

He stood up, holding the small fish in one hand, arranging his raincoat with the other, and put the bamboo hat on his head.

Then, step by step, we walked to the riverside, looking at Shendu for a while, and at the end of Beiming River for a while, looking deeply.

He knew that it was his hometown.

"The limit of heaven is limitless. Life and death are merciless. People are like fish. Unfortunately, the river is surging and there are countless murderous intentions. Life is a sea of ​​suffering. Who can escape..."

His tears flowed down.

"One person, one dream, no matter what, no matter what."

He looked at the little fish in his hand, sighed, and said: "If you want to survive, you can only eat fish, alas..."

He was in pain.

But--

He stuffed the living little fish in his hand into his mouth, bit it into two pieces with the first bite, dripping with blood, and swallowed it directly with the second bite.

Perhaps a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he coughed violently, showing an expression of pain.

But in the end, he still smiled.

After laughing, he put on his fishing basket, picked up his fishing rod, packed his raincoat and bamboo hat, stepped on a pair of tattered bamboo shoes, and swayed step by step along the Beiming River in the direction of Shendu.

In the rain curtain, he opened his mouth and read freely:

Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest,

Why not scream and walk slowly?

Bamboo sticks and mango shoes are lighter than horses,

Who is afraid?

A coop of mist and rain will last a lifetime.

The cool spring breeze wakes me up from my drunkenness,

It's slightly cold, but the mountain tops are shining brightly.

Looking back at the bleak place,

When I returned home, there was no wind or rain or sunshine.

…

After the storm.

The city of God has ushered in the refreshing autumn weather, with gentle breeze and bright sun.

At night, there are no clouds in the sky, the stars are bright, the Milky Way is gorgeous, and it is so beautiful.

People say that this will definitely be the most beautiful fireworks festival in the capital.

The ancient royal family loved beauty, not only the beauty of beautiful people, but also the beauty of prosperity, the beauty of the capital, and the beauty of gorgeous fireworks.

A night of fireworks brings the world together.

Every night, for a year, the people of Shendu will make their own fireworks into the sky, dyeing the night sky of Shendu into a variety of colors.

It was the most romantic night. Many lovers made vows that would last until death amid the fireworks in the capital city.

Some people betray, some people die.

However--

Li Tianming almost lost track of time amid the torture of practicing the Immortal Sword Body.

Twenty-eight days have passed since the first blue linghuo sword energy was integrated.

In nearly a month, he went from unfamiliarity to proficiency, from ordinary pain to extreme pain, from howling ghosts to heartbreaking, but he persisted.

Within a month, half of the time was spent on realm cultivation and half of the time on the Immortal Sword Body.

This is the best and most balanced way of practice, but it is also the most tiring, and he persisted in it.

Even Weisheng Yunxi said that he could withstand the torture of the sword energy pool and improve every day, which was a miracle of willpower.

In fact, there is no miracle. Li Tianming just wants him and Jiang Feiling to live well!

He just told himself every time that it would be fine if he persisted for one more day.

Just like that, repeat day after day.

Until the day before the fireworks festival——

He has integrated more than three hundred sword energies and the Hundred Tribulations Sword, and has already successfully practiced it!

Even Yinghuo has integrated more than 170 sword energies, which also belongs to the category of Hundred Tribulations Sword!

In fact, the so-called Ten Tribulations Sword and Hundred Tribulations Sword are just names, which are meaningless, because the power of the immortal sword body is calculated based on the amount of sword energy fused.

Three hundred sword energy and one hundred sword energy have different powers.

There is no difference between ninety-nine sword energy and one hundred sword energy. When it reaches one hundred, there will be no transformation.

Li Tianming tried it. The power of his Three Hundred Tribulations Sword, coupled with the Shenxiao Sword Technique, was indeed quite terrifying. It was worth noting that his life would be worse than death for a month!

"In terms of realm, we have also broken through to the fourth level of the Earth Saint Realm! After all, there are a lot of Saint Crystals now, so we don't need to hold back."

"Compared to when I defeated Dong Yangzhuo, I seem to have changed a lot!"

Not only the evolution of the companion beast, but also the improvement of two realms, plus the strongest immortal sword body!

…

In the blink of an eye——

Fireworks Festival is here.

This is the busiest and busiest day in the city of God.

In the early morning of this day, Li Tianming went to find Bai Mo, the future king of the palace.

He wanted to tell him.

Tonight, he is going to the palace! !
