Hidden Corners

On the other side, just after Li Chengyi returned home, the little fat man Gongshan Heng, who brought the blue fish, also went home and told his father about the matter, not mentioning that his father planned to visit Gongshan Qingyang with gifts.

He himself took the blue fish to the kitchen.

"Master Huang! Have you processed the blue fish from yesterday? It should be ready to eat today, right? I want to take it to my brother." The little fat man shouted and carried the fish into the kitchen.

But no one in the kitchen responded. The chef, Master Huang, and the two helpers stood there blankly, looking into the sink, motionless.

"Master Huang?" The little fat man was a little confused and quickly came closer.

"Master Hengheng, where did you bring this fish?" Before he could get closer, he heard Master Huang ask in a trembling voice.

"Where did you bring it? It just floated in the blue sea." The little fat man was a little strange. Where else could this sea fish come from? Of course it was the sea. Do you still need to ask this question?

Master Huang shook his head and stepped aside, revealing the sink in front of him.

In the gray-black metal tank, what caught the little fat man's eyes was a large fish with a black body and the same size as the blue fish in his hand.

"Is this??" He was in a daze and felt a wave of coldness coming over him.

Then I saw that the water around the big fish was full of broken ice floating.

"This is the blue fish we brought back yesterday. We obviously killed it, cut it into sections, and put it in the ice cellar. But when we went to see it this morning, it not only recovered on its own, but also turned black." Huang The master pointed to the water basin surrounding the blue fish.

"And this fish will automatically absorb the heat of whatever it touches now."

"This" the little fat man was also stunned, what the hell is this? The dead blue fish is alive again? ?

puff!

Suddenly, the blue fish in the basin and the blue fish in the net bag in his arms struggled violently together.

Driven by the huge force, the four people approaching were startled and quickly pushed away. At the same time, the true energy emerges from the body to protect the body.

puff.

Master Huang raised his hand and cut a blue fish into two pieces.

But it was useless. After the two pieces of fish landed on the ground, they quickly and automatically joined together to form the black fish image just now.

The cook on the side suddenly had an idea, picked up a special clay oven for stewing soup, and suddenly put the black fish in it.

The sound of sizzling barbecue was heard, along with the rich aroma of burning meat.

Bang!

The small furnace exploded, and the black fish rushed out again, intact, and the burnt parts on its body disappeared quickly.

For a time, the four of them were chased around the kitchen by two blue fish.

Cutting with a knife, chopping with a sword, and splitting with an axe, all methods have been tried. The fish has no reaction at all, and it can put itself back together even if it is broken into pieces.

Not only that, they also attack the people around them crazily. He bit off a chunk of meat from a cook's arm in one bite.

The farce lasted for more than an hour. It was not until the little fat man's father came back that he cut the fish into powdery pieces and packaged them. Everything was completely calm.

It's more than ten walls away from Gongshan Heng's house.

Li Chengyi sat cross-legged on the bed quietly.

It's dark and windy outside, and the sea breeze is howling.

He slowly closed his eyes and entered the vital dimension again.

A picture composed of countless light red threads appeared in his mind. But what he paid attention to was not these, but the fish he had torn off the lifeline before, and Gongshan Pingqiu.

It's amazing that he has a clear sense of all the individuals whose vitality threads have been severed by him.

He knows where they are and what their condition is.

‘Interesting. The cutoff of life does not seem to be the complete death as I imagined’

Li Chengyi raised his head and his eyes seemed to have passed through a large wall and saw the courtyard belonging to Gongshan Pingqiu.

At this time, Gongshan Pingqiu was practicing cross-legged in his room, and his true energy was constantly releasing earthy yellow fluorescence, flowing throughout his body.

A gray-haired man on the side is crossing his knees to protect him. It is his father Gongshan Ding.

While he was practicing, Di Gongshan Pingqiu suddenly trembled, and the earthy yellow essence on his body quickly dimmed and became weaker.

"Qiu'er?" Gongshan Ding opened his eyes in confusion and looked at his son.

But there was no response. Gongshan Pingqiu still maintained his cross-legged posture on the ground, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Son?" Gongshan Ding frowned slightly and reached out to touch him.

puff.

Suddenly, Di Gongshan Pingqiu opened his eyes, which were bloodshot.

"Dad, I feel so uncomfortable!!" He said with difficulty.

The exposed skin on its body is rapidly turning gray.

"What's going on!?" Gongshan Ding was shocked and put his hand on his son's head, about to check.

Snapped.

Suddenly his son grabbed his wrist. The pained expression on his face quickly disappeared, turning into a cold expressionless expression.

An extremely cold breath flowed into his body along his wrist.

Gongshan Ding became more and more panicked.

With a sudden force, the golden essence all over his body was like the sun, extremely dazzling, and he was about to forcefully inject it into his son's head, and even his whole body, to control his movements.

But strangely, Gongshan Pingqiu's body also erupted with earthy yellow true energy, and the color of the true energy quickly turned into gray-black, exuding ominous black energy, and the intensity was at least twice as strong as before.

There was a collision of real energy between the two father and son, and the gray-black real energy was forcibly defeated.

Gongshan Pingqiu said nothing, stood up, opened his mouth, and bit his father.

"Qiu'er! What's wrong with you!?"

Gongshan Ding shouted, holding down his son with one hand. His golden and jade level internal strength did not put much load on him. But the key is that this is his son!

Worry about her son's health was the biggest panic at this time.

But Gongshan Pingqiu didn't respond at all. His eyes were completely black and he lost consciousness. He just kept struggling ferociously, bursting out circles of gray and black real energy.

"What kind of evil spirit dares to cause trouble in my Gongshan family? You are simply seeking death!!" Gongshan Ding roared angrily, and a bright golden light erupted from his body. He rushed out of the courtyard with his son and rushed towards the clan leader.

Within the family, only the patriarch, who is a peerless master, may know how to save his son.

The second day.

Early in the morning, Li Chengyi went to the literature class alone.

The little fat man didn't come, and neither did Gongshan Pingqiu. The seats between the two of them were empty, which made Mr. Teaching frown slightly.

But he didn't say anything. Anyway, it was enough that he was invited to give lectures. The rest, whether the children wanted to learn or not, had nothing to do with him. These are things parents need to consider.

Soon, the sound of reading aloud began again.

Gongshan Leijiu, who was sitting on the right side of Li Chengyi, sneaked closer and asked in a low voice while reading.

"Azhu, what on earth did you do yesterday?"

"What?" Li Chengyi knew that something must be wrong, but he didn't know what it was.

"Do you know, something happened to Fatty's side? And the same happened to Gongshan Pingqiu side." Lei Jiu lowered his voice.

"What's going on?" Li Chengyi asked calmly, his heart moved.

"The two blue fish that Fatty brought back suddenly came to life yesterday when he was cooking in the kitchen! Not only did they come alive, they also bit people everywhere and injured two of the helpers." Lei Jiu said mysteriously.

"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Li Chengyi showed surprise at the right time.

"This is strange." Han Zongdi, who was sitting in front, said quietly and came over.

She has been very cold and fierce these days, always exuding a low pressure of don't mess with me.

But no matter how fierce and cold she is, she is still just a ten-year-old girl, and her childlike innocence is still there.

When I heard something interesting, I immediately pricked up my ears and listened quietly, and I couldn't help but take the initiative to interject.

"Dead fish can come back to life. Only those evil and demonic techniques can achieve the effect, and they can be used within the clan. Can they hide it from the leader of the Gongshan clan, just to resurrect two fish? It's a bit ridiculous." Han Zongdi speculated.

"Is it possible that a certain demon giant passed by here and made a joke?" Lei Jiu touched his chin.

"Impossible. I went over and saw it with my own eyes yesterday. Forget about the two fish. In the yard on the Pingqiu side of Gongshan, that guy Pingqiu turned gray and black. He was fighting fiercely with his father, and there was a lot of movement." Han Zongdi also touched his chin and whispered.

"You mean something happened to Gongshan Pingqiu?" Lei Jiu was stunned. Look at Han Zongdi.

"Well, according to what my guard said, the guy's breath was too dead. His father took him to the clan leader and tried to save him. However, he seemed to have been trying for most of the night to no avail. In the end, the clan leader had no choice but to use the sealing formation. The law imprisoned him." Han Zongdi understood more than Li Chengyi imagined.

"Ah Zhu, you just had a conflict with the Pingqiu family yesterday, and something happened to them today. Someone will definitely come to investigate you soon. Be careful." Lei Jiu warned.

Because he sat close to him, he had a good relationship with the little fat man, Li Chengyi.

Moreover, because he hid a lot of secrets, he looked naive to everyone, but after contacting Li Chengyi, he found that the other person seemed to be far more mature than other children.

So I felt that Li Chengyi was the only one in the class who had something in common with him.

"It's okay. There was just a little misunderstanding yesterday." Li Chengyi frowned and shook his head, "But when you said this, I remembered that the blue fish seemed to have emerged from the sea on its own. When it surfaced, it had already Even though the fish died, the fat man was very happy at the time and took the initiative to take it out. If there is something wrong with the fish, could it be an infectious disease?"

"Infectious disease?" The two children were stunned, as if they had thought of something.

"Could it be that Bai Ruyi, the Bai Ruyi?" Han Zongdi thought thoughtfully.

"It could be Qiu Hansi, Master Xiao Tian." Lei Jiu shook his head, "Bai Ruyi's style has always been upright, but Qiu Hansi likes to cause trouble from time to time."

"It's not like that." Han Zongdi shook his head and began to analyze Qiu Hansi's specific skills.

The two of them knew far more information than the other boys. When the discussion began, Li Chengyi listened with interest.

While listening, he also had a rough understanding in his mind.

In the dimension of vitality, cutting off the vitality of living things actually brings not death, but mutation into a special existence that is neither dead nor alive.

This was something he didn't expect at all.

Soon, the hour-long literature class was over. When Li Chengyi returned to the courtyard alone, he walked along the tall gray wall.

Suddenly he paused and stopped.

His eyes fell on a dark green weed on the side of the road.

In the blink of an eye, the vitality of that weed was instantly cut off.

Li Chengyi remained calm and continued walking forward, but his perception was always focused on the grass.

I saw that the weeds quickly turned black, exuded cold air, and seemed to completely change into another weird form in an instant.

‘Yes, if cutting off the lifeline only kills creatures, it shouldn’t consume so much of my consciousness.’

Thinking of this, his consciousness crossed the right wall and suddenly landed on a gray-white pebble in a garden three hundred meters away.

As soon as his heart moved, the lifeline of the cobblestone was also cut off.

In the blink of an eye, the originally gray stone quickly turned into gray black and exuded a faint cold air.

After doing this, Li Chengyi looked calm and continued to return as if nothing had happened.

‘The introduction has been thrown out, and then it depends on the reaction and exploration within the clan. ’

Just relying on one's own research would be too slow, but with the help of the entire clan, it would naturally be much faster.

Feeling the Chonghai Yuan in his body that was completely replenished in one night, Li Chengyi once again controlled it to enter the sword furnace for burning.

Soon, for the second time, a new jet-black Haiyuan flew out of the sword furnace.

This time, the density of Haiyuan is much denser than last time, and the intensity is also much greater.

‘This kind of Haiyuan that has been tempered by burning for the second time is called the second level of Haiyuan. ’ Li Chengyi chose a name at random.

These energies are meaningless to him, they are just convenient for temporary use.

Even if the power he cultivated is not the strongest at the same level, it actually doesn't matter to him because with the Huayu Huascale Clothes, it is not difficult for him to kill enemies beyond the level.

What he really values ​​​​is the progress in dimensions. With the development of Burning the Second Sea Yuan, bits of new consciousness are extracted and integrated into his mind.

And then from his mind. Incorporate the vitality dimension to expand the range of control.

This is water grinding without any tricks, no shortcuts.
