"How could there be a mirage dragon in this sea of suffering?" A young Taoist priest wearing a green Taoist robe and with a handsome face sat alone at the bow of the boat, holding a lush green bamboo fishing rod in his hand. His eyes were fixed on the monster struggling on the water in front of him, his face full of confusion and puzzlement.
The monster looked like the legendary mirage dragon, and also bore some resemblance to the blue dragon mentioned in ancient texts. Its massive body twisted violently in the water, creating waves of water, trying to escape its restraints, but to no avail.
The strange dragon that had been caught was actually Su Rui's form, transformed by his mirage dragon technique. As if trying to understand the reason, the young Taoist carefully reached out and removed the hook from the mouth of Su Rui's mirage dragon. The fishing gear in his hands was truly extraordinary, a rare magical tool capable of not only catching mighty underwater demon kings but also saving those unfortunate enough to fall into the water. Once snagged by the hook, even the most powerful demon will have its magical powers sealed, making it difficult to escape.
At the moment when the young Taoist priest removed the fish hook, Su Rui immediately retracted his mirage dragon body, changed back to his original young appearance, and quickly landed beside the young Taoist priest, breathing heavily, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.
"Master... Senior Brother, why did you come to the Sea of Samsara?" Su Rui asked with difficulty while panting.
The young Taoist was surprised to see Su Rui transformed from a dragon into a human, and that he was exactly the person he had been looking for after breaking through the boundary. But he quickly recovered and responded to his question, "Old Taoist Ge said you were in danger and asked me to find you and bring you back to Qingcheng!"
After saying this, the man's eyes revealed a hint of doubt. He looked Su Rui up and down, then asked, "How did you achieve this incarnation? It's so lifelike that it can even deceive my eyes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something, slapped his forehead, and muttered to himself, "Oh, I almost forgot, your master Yu'e once killed an extraterritorial demon king and obtained a mysterious book of demon illusions from it. I guess what you just performed was the technique deduced from that demon illusion, right?!"
His continuous stream of self-questions and self-answers left Su Rui completely bewildered. Even more confusing for Su Rui was the way this person addressed Master Ge and his master, Master Yu'e, in a rather disrespectful manner, showing no respect at all.
Taking a closer look at the man's appearance, Su Rui discovered a striking resemblance to Master Ge. Initially, upon meeting him in the Sutra Library, Su Rui had mistaken him for Master Ge's nephew. But now, it seemed, there was more to the story. Could this man actually be Master Ge's brother?
"This is the second time I've met you, Senior Brother. I haven't asked you your name yet?" Su Rui asked cautiously, choosing his words carefully. After all, if this young Taoist priest was truly Ge Zhenren's twin brother, then his status would likely be at least that of a sect elder. Strangely, he had never heard Zhang Beiyang and the others mention him before.
After hearing the question, the young Taoist didn't answer immediately. Instead, he was silent for a while, as if thinking about something. Then, he smiled slightly and replied, "My last name is Ge. You can call me Little Ge Zhenren!"
Although Su Rui still had doubts about the Taoist's true identity, he chose not to question him further. Instead, he bowed deeply and respectfully to express his sincere gratitude. Faced with Su Rui's solemn courtesy, the Taoist appeared very calm and at ease, accepting it graciously. He then asked, "You were clearly in the human world before, how did you suddenly end up in this sea of suffering?"
Hearing this, Su Rui sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then methodically recounted all the things he had experienced since he began exploring the Langya Immortal Mansion. He picked out the more critical and important parts and told them in detail to the young Taoist who called himself Xiao Ge Zhenren.
When the young Taoist heard that Su Rui had been pursued by the White Bone Lord, an icy aura instantly surged from him. His eyes became deep and unfathomable, and he spoke in a sinister tone, "I was worried that my sword would rust from being unsheathed for so long, but I didn't expect that old White Bone Lord to be so tactful and offer his head to me..."
After saying that, he grabbed Su Rui's arm, stomped his feet hard, and then turned into a blue sword light, rushing towards the Forgotten River like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the lightning disappeared, leaving only a lonely little boat slowly floating on the sea of reincarnation.
The sword light transformed by the young Taoist priest was incredibly fast. In just a few breaths, he brought Su Rui to the shore. After a few more breaths, they saw the White Bone God, who had been searching for Su Rui here for three days but still refused to give up.
The Bone Lord, confident that Su Rui was still hiding somewhere in the Forgotten River, was concentrating on directing his Bone Demons to conduct a thorough search of the river. However, at that moment, he suddenly caught sight of Su Rui being led by a man with a menacing presence, appearing without warning within his sight. The Bone Lord immediately understood that this man was most likely Su Rui's special reinforcement, summoned to help him defeat him.
However, how could the White Bone God be the type to retreat so easily? Especially after so many days of searching, he finally found Su Rui's figure so close. How could he give up so easily?
So, he summoned the Magic Fire Golden Pagoda without hesitation, and instantly transformed it into a dazzling golden flame, like a meteor burning with blazing flames, and pounced straight towards the person who came.
