Chapter 83 The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind
In the house next to the teahouse, the handsome Second Master was sipping tea with the excited Rat.
This house is not spacious, but it has fish-scale tiles, cypress purlins, and the walls and ground are made of the finest colorful stones, arranged in a staggered manner. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the streets, there is a pleasing and solemn beauty... The rat was looking at everything in the house carefully with its eyes wide open.
"Young Master, we finally meet. I just didn't expect that you would be the Second Master from another world. This is just like a dream." Zuantianshu took a sip of tea and looked at the Second Master in front of him in surprise. Who else could it be but his own Young Master Ximin.
Ximin chuckled and said, "It was really dangerous in Longquan Alley that day. I was afraid that the two of you would disappear, so I didn't dare to stay too far away from Uncle Jiu. But Uncle Jiu is really scheming. Did he notice anything unusual while you were following him all the way?"
Zuantianshu shook his head: "This old man is so scheming, but I didn't expect that he never doubted me? Young Master, what do you think about this?"
Ximin nodded, stared at the face of the Rat for a while and said, "You look exactly like Ding Yuan. You can totally mistake the fake for the real thing."
Zuantianshu sighed heavily and said, "To be honest, young master, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm just afraid that this old guy is pretending to be stupid and will make trouble for me at the critical moment."
Seeing that Ximin was still in deep thought, Zuantianshu suddenly slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory, young master, do you know that something big is going to happen?"
Ximin was surprised and said, "Besides these two worlds of immortals, what else could be the big deal? You mean the Hundred Days?"
"That's not the case. Yesterday, Uncle Jiu took me to retrieve the crystal coffin from the Nine Gates. I didn't know what he meant by that. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I pretended to be a little dull and stupid."
"The crystal coffin in the nine gates, the crystal coffin in the nine gates... Such a big crystal coffin, is it possible that the underworld would not discover it?" Westminster thought in some surprise.
Zuantianshu waved his hand and said, "Oh, my young master, I haven't finished my words yet. This old guy has a trick, and that trick is Baitian's blood - the blood of the spirit pearl. It is simply the key to open the door to wealth. No wonder everyone wants to get Yang Baitian."
It was Yang Baitian again. For some reason, when Ximin heard the word Baitian, she felt her heart suddenly become uneasy.
"Master, you don't believe it? Actually, I don't believe it either. But that day in Longquan Alley, it was because of him that we came to this strange world with Bai Tian's blood. What's even more bizarre is that in the secret room that day, when Uncle Jiu poured the blood into the crystal coffin, the crystal coffin suddenly shrank to the size of a palm." Recalling the scene at that time, Zuantianshu still feels like a dream today and can't believe it is real.
Tian'er's blood, Tian'er's blood? Ximin stood up and walked back and forth...
I thought of it, I thought of it. Ximin suddenly slapped his head, and his handsome face was full of joy.
"Since this old guy needs Tian'er's blood, then the blood will run out one day. Now he must be anxious to find Bai Tian..." Westminster sighed.
The Rat looked at Ximin in surprise, scratched his head and said, "I understand what the Master said, but I don't quite understand the meaning? If I use it up, won't I cause trouble for Bai Tian again?"
Ximin chuckled and said, "You are a normal guy. As long as Uncle Jiu needs the blood of the fairy pearl, he will go to find Yang Baitian, and we can reap the benefits." "Well, young master, are you worried about your little wife? But then again, how come there are two Yang Baitians?" Zuantian asked in some confusion.
"You also look like Ding Yuan? There is only one Yang Baitian in the world." Ximin murmured to himself.
Zuan Tianshu said with a smile: "My young master, don't worry, I will definitely help you find a good wife, but you have to tell me who is the real one?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Ximin's lips: "The war between the Nine Sect Masters and the God of War has just begun. I am still waiting to see the show. Their actions will naturally tell you who is the real Yang Baitian."
The Rat looked at Ximin in astonishment, thinking that this young master loved Bai Tian to the core, what happened today? So he asked tentatively: "Young Master, aren't you worried that your wife is in danger?"
After thinking for a long time, Ximin finally said, "When it comes to big things, let's put aside our feelings for now. We can't let him take the lead again."
..........................................
The young master has changed a lot, not like the sunny and righteous young master of the past. Although I have accompanied him all the way, and there have been fights and killings, but he has always led me forward. But today's young master is much stranger. He wants benefits, but he doesn't even want a young wife. It seems that feelings are still unreliable... The mind of the rat is full of doubts.
"Yuan'er, what are you daydreaming about? Do you want to go back to the human world?" Seeing that the Rat was often absent-minded after coming out of the secret room, and was now staring out the window in a daze, Uncle Jiu's sallow face inexplicably showed a bit of worry.
The Rat was startled, raised his head awkwardly, and said softly: "Dad, I was just wondering, can we go back? Life in this alien world is similar to that in the human world, but it's like going back to ancient times many years ago. I'm really not used to it.
"Hahaha, my silly child. Dad doesn't want to die here. Not only is he unfamiliar with the place, but you know that we have broken the laws of life by forcing our way into another world, so we must go back. Of course, we can't go back without Yang Baitian." Uncle Jiu sighed.
"Dad, there are two Yang Baitian now, I think we should not act rashly." Zuantianshu was really thinking hard at this time. After all, he didn't want to die in this mythical world with inconvenient transportation.
Uncle Jiu chuckled, and his laugh became more and more weird and scary. His face became more and more sallow, his eyes sunk deeply into his eye sockets, even his eyeballs were yellow, without a trace of luster, and there was no blood on his lips: "My son, you don't have to worry about this. The first thing we have to do now is to find Yang Baitian's treasure key.
"Dad, I've always wanted to ask you, why do you look like this? Are you sick? When I was at the Xi family, I was always curious about why your complexion was different from that of ordinary people?" Zuantianshu finally asked this question.
Uncle Jiu's expression suddenly became even darker and more terrifying, just like the brown and yellow sky before a storm... He pondered quietly for a while, and said softly: "Yuan'er, if I tell you that Daddy's life will not last long, would you believe it?"
