Taoist world

As the child's voice fell, a figure gradually emerged on the stone tablet that was completely covered by the Xuanding mark.

A boy who looked only five or six years old, with a sky-high bun, a chubby head, and chubby little hands supported on the stone tablet. Two bare feet were hanging there and swaying. A pair of black eyes looked up and down at Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun retracted his palm, clasped his fists to the boy and said: "Jiang Yun greets the senior!"

Obviously, this boy was the one who recited the nursery rhyme.

And the summoning meaning that he sensed should also be deliberately guided by this boy, as if to let Kun Ling's consciousness and Xuanding mark reveal his true purpose.

However, just now this boy did not let Kun Ling hear his voice and hear the nursery rhyme. At this time, he appeared openly and sat on the stone tablet.

Jiang Yun was a little puzzled, and then continued: "I am a dull junior, and I really don't understand the meaning of your words. I wonder if you can give me more detailed instructions?"

Jiang Yun couldn't guess who the boy was, but his words just now made Jiang Yun more curious.

I have guessed that Kun Ling, one of the Eight Extremes, did not hesitate to let his son fake his death, and took the Xuan Ding mark containing his spiritual consciousness, entered the Red Cauldron, and hid for countless years, in order to find another exit of the Dragon Script Red Cauldron.

Now, the appearance of this stone tablet has finally made Kun Ling's spiritual consciousness no longer hidden, which is enough to prove that my guess is correct.

But why would Xuan Ding not cry if I took action to stop this mark?

The boy shook his head, stretched out his chubby index finger, pressed it on his lips, and said in a low voice: "Hush!"

"Let's see what he is doing first!"

The boy reached out and gently patted the stone tablet.

"Buzz!"

The stone tablet shook slightly, as if it suddenly enlarged, and it seemed to squeeze directly into Jiang Yun's eyes, so that Jiang Yun's eyes could see the situation inside through the black light covered by the Xuanding mark on the stone tablet.

The whole stone tablet seemed to be covered by the Xuanding mark, but in fact, there was still a gap between the two that could not be seen by the naked eye.

At this moment, the black light transformed by the Xuanding mark was swarming towards a rune on the stone tablet.

The black light was like a group of ants, quickly covering the rune completely, and then fell into a state of stillness, motionless!

At this time, Jiang Yun's eyes blurred, and his eyes were also pulled away from the stone tablet, and he saw the boy in front of him.

The boy smiled and said, "Did you see the runes on the stone tablet just now?"

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Yes, they should be the innate cauldron patterns."

The boy continued to ask, "Then you saw it clearly, how many innate cauldron patterns are there on it, and how many did you remember?"

This time Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "Junior didn't see it clearly, and didn't remember any!"

The surface of the stone tablet was like it had been deliberately polished, with pits and bumps, making several runes blurred, and Jiang Yun couldn't see it very clearly.

What's more, not all the cauldron patterns can be remembered just by seeing them.

So far, Jiang Yun can only remember the acquired cauldron patterns of the red cauldron.

Therefore, even if the runes on the stone tablet are clear, Jiang Yun can't remember them.

The boy raised a palm and made a "nine" shape with his chubby fingers and said, "Nine!"

Nine innate cauldron patterns!

Jiang Yun suddenly realized that his master had just told him that there should be as many as nine innate cauldron patterns on the red cauldron.

Now, what the boy said was consistent with what the master said.

The boy continued, "Nine innate cauldron patterns, one for each cauldron!"

Jiang Yun was stunned and said, "Nine cauldrons, each with only one innate cauldron pattern?"

"Alas!" The boy suddenly sighed, wrinkled his nose and said, "You are so stupid!"

While speaking, the boy raised his other hand, spread out the ten fingers of both hands, and said to Jiang Yun, "Look!"

"No, there is one more!"

After the boy muttered, he lowered his head, opened his mouth, and bit off the little finger of his left hand.

With a "grunt", blood splattered.

The boy raised his head, his mouth full of blood, chewed hard, raised his bloody hands, and said in a vague voice, "I have nine fingers now!"

Jiang Yun came from a sea of ​​blood and corpses, and he really swallowed other creatures alive.

He even suspected that everything in front of him was just an illusion.

But for some reason, I felt a chill in my heart when I saw what the boy did.

And then, the boy's behavior was even more bloody.

He first used his right hand to break off the four fingers of his left hand one by one and threw them to Jiang Yun.

Then, he used the palm of his left hand to break off the four fingers of his right hand.

Throughout the whole process, he always had a smile on his little face, as if he was doing something fun.

Finally, he raised his bloody hands, which were only half left, and said to Jiang Yun: "Do you understand now?"

Jiang Yun held eight broken fingers in his hands, as if he was cast with a fixed body spell, and dared not move at all. He nodded and said: "I understand!"

Although the boy's behavior was extremely bloody, it did make Jiang Yun understand!

The boy's hands obviously represent the red tripod, and the nine fingers represent the nine innate tripod patterns.

Eight fingers, only half left, refer to the eight innate tripod patterns, only half left.

The other half, seemingly thrown to himself, actually refers to being taken away by the other eight tripods!

Innate tripod pattern, one tripod.

However, the red tripod has nine innate tripod patterns of nine tripods.

In other words, the innate tripod patterns of the other eight tripods are all engraved on the red tripod.

But I don't know what happened, the other eight tripods took half of the innate tripod patterns from the red tripod one after another.

Then, Kun Ling separated his consciousness and brought the Xuan Ding mark into the tripod. His purpose should be to take away the remaining half of the innate tripod pattern belonging to the Xuan Ding.

The Xuan Ding mark that I just saw was covered on a rune, like a rubbing.

And the purpose of taking away this innate tripod pattern may allow Kun Ling to get rid of the control of the Xuan Ding, or it may allow Kun Ling to control the Xuan Ding in turn.

But no matter what the result is, it is not a good thing for Xuan Ding, so Xuan Ding will cry!

"Just understand!"

The boy muttered, moved his broken palm, and saw the eight broken fingers held in Jiang Yun's hand immediately flew to the stone tablet and arranged in a row.

Jiang Yun did not ask why the boy did not connect the eight broken fingers back, but clasped his fists to the boy again and said: "Thank you for your advice, but I don't know, what is your name?"

"Hehe!" The boy suddenly laughed and said: "I just said you are stupid, and now you are smart again."

"You asked me my name for nothing, the real purpose is to know what my identity is!"

"Hehe, I won't tell you!"

Jiang Yun didn't mind being exposed by the boy, and continued: "Then can you explain the meaning of the nursery rhyme that the senior just said to me again?"

The boy opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly a roar sounded in the darkness: "Jiang Yun!"
