Volume 1, Chapter 103: Daikoku's story.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the sky is bright.
There was a cloud floating on the bright moon, just like a shy girl covering her face with a veil.
Everyone had already fallen asleep by this time.
After days of traveling, we are exhausted.
If the plan goes as planned and nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to enter the territory of Beimang City in one day, and enter the city in another half a day.
It has been almost a month since we last traveled this route. Although there were many dangers, we were able to escape without any major incidents.
We are finally reaching the Beimang City.
As long as we enter the territory of Beimang City, it will be the territory of the Dongfang family, and I think nothing will happen anymore.
My heart finally settled down. In my spare time over the past few days, I practiced Fengyue Tinghai Zong's sword techniques. I felt it was pretty good and I also learned a few moves.
Ye Tingmu, who had coaxed a few little ones to sleep, was in high spirits and had no desire to sleep at all.
So in a trance, while admiring the moonlight, I came to the big black bull.
The big black bull had not fallen asleep yet at this time.
The mouth was still moving.
It is often said that cows have four stomachs, and they will put food in their stomachs, and at night they will regurgitate it and continue to chew it.
It's really amazing. I didn't expect that although the big black bull is very powerful, it is also like this.
Big Black Bull looked at him like this without saying anything.
Ye Tingmu hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down beside him.
In the past, when I had nothing to do, I liked to complain to Dahei, especially at night.
However, ever since I learned that Dahei could talk and was no ordinary person, it never happened again.
After seeing him kick a person of the Transcendent Realm to death with one kick, he felt an indescribable gap in his heart.
I feel like I can no longer speak to him as freely as I did before.
But he knew that this Dahei must have a story.
Speaking of Dahei, it's strange. Five years ago, when I was escaping from Beimang with a few people, I happened to meet it on the road.
Then, for some reason, Dahei followed them.
At that time, I thought that this cow was spiritual and had a connection with me, so I just took it with me.
This area has been five years.
Now it seems that there must be a reason why this big black man followed me.
But what is it for?
But he didn't know.
Ask, but I don’t know where to start.
He looked at the moon in the sky without saying a word.
Dahei looked at him, his eyes calm.
One man and one cow, just sitting like this.
People admire the moon, cows watch people.
"If you want to ask, just ask. Why are you dithering?"
At this time, Dahei's voice rang out.
Ye Tingmu turned around and looked at him, staring with his eyes, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "What do you want to ask?"
Dahei glanced at him with disdain.
"Pretend...keep pretending."
Hearing this, he scratched his head in embarrassment. He really couldn't hide it from the other person. The other person was not a cow, but a powerful beast saint. He was an existence eight levels above the human realm. How could he not see through his little thoughts?
"It's nothing, actually. I just want to know why you are a cow."
The big black bull stared at me. What kind of question is this? Why am I a cow? Why can't I be a cow?
But he still replied: "I am originally a cow......"
"Uh..." Ye Tingmu was speechless, as if what he asked was indeed inappropriate.
"I mean, if you're so awesome, why do you want to be the leader?"
"Nonsense, if I don't want to be a cow, how can I be that awesome!"
"No, what I mean is that a monster that is not at the Beast King stage can transform into a human form, right? Why are you still like this?"
The big black bull glanced at him.
"What's so good about being a human? It's worse than being a cow."
Ye Tingmu sniffed in frustration. Indeed, being a human is very tiring. One has to rush around all their lives just to have three meals a day.
There are also seven emotions and six desires, which make people either annoyed or worried.
He didn't answer, and the man and the cow fell silent again.
After a while.
Ye Tingmu said in a deep voice: "Why are you following me?"
The big black bull grinned.
"Finally couldn't help it?"
Ye Tingmu clicked his tongue.
"If you don't want me to tell you, then don't tell me."
The big black bull looked up at the sky, with a ripple in his eyes.
"If you want to hear it, I can tell you, but the story is a bit long."
When Ye Tingmu heard this, his eyebrows raised.
He reached for her waist.
A jar of peach blossom wine appeared in his hands.
He swayed in front of Dahei.
"You have a story, and I have wine. It just so happens that your story is longer, and my wine will be more fragrant."
Big Black Bull chuckled.
“It kind of rhymes.”
Ye Tingmu pointed at his scholar's robe and said, "Of course, I'm a cultured person." As he said that, he pulled out the cork of the peach blossom wine and handed it over.
"Would you like a bite?"
Dahei shook his huge bull head.
"No, I'm quitting drinking."
You raised your eyebrows like a sword, and you said you wanted to quit drinking. You didn't even give up the Ten Commandments. Why should you, a cow, quit drinking?
He raised the jar and the wine went down his throat.
"Ah... Such fine wine, if you don't drink it, I'll enjoy it all by myself."
Dahei's ears moved.
"Well, I'll make it short, and you just listen."
Ye Tingmu moved his butt and listened attentively.
"I'd like to hear more about it."
Big Black Bull then pondered, "Once upon a time, there was an old Taoist priest in this Changhe Realm. He traveled across the four realms and three days in his lifetime. His mind could reach the heavens, and a single thought could enter the long river of time. In the morning, he sailed in the North Sea, and in the evening, he slept under the moon in the South Sky. He could pluck stars with a single hand. He was a genius, a man of eternal elegance, with a heart as bright as the moon, half a step to the realm of immortality. People called him the Taoist Patriarch."
Ye Tingmu rolled his eyes and asked, "What realm is Half-Step Immortal Venerable?"
"Those who have reached the ninth level are called saints, also known as earthly immortals. Those who have reached the tenth level are called profound immortals. Those who have reached the eleventh level are called celestial immortals. Those who have reached the twelfth level are called immortal kings. Those who have reached the thirteenth level are called immortal emperors. And the fourteenth level is the realm of the immortal venerable."
As he spoke, his voice became a little heavier.
Ye Tingmu was confused after hearing this. In ancient historical materials, the highest record was nothing more than the four realms of heaven. When did the fourteenth realm emerge? He couldn't help but feel shocked, but an existence like Dahei would definitely not lie to him.
But he still couldn't help but ask, "Does this realm of Immortal Venerable really exist?"
Dahei said in a deep voice: "I don't know, no one has ever seen it. The Dao Ancestor at the time was also struggling to break through. I only heard that those who reached the Fourteenth Realm could open the sky."
But if the sky is opened, what kind of existence will that be?
Ye Tingmu also looked up at the sea of stars, and his mind unconsciously imagined the scene of the creation of the world. When he thought of this, he could feel the sea of consciousness making a roaring sound.
He was taking a sip of his wine.
Dahei continued, "Later, Daozu encountered a catastrophe and fell, taking his mount with him. However, the mount was reincarnated. After eternity, it met the reincarnation of Daozu..."
There was no further talk at this point.
After a long while, Ye Tingmu turned his head to look at it and asked, "Is it gone?"
Dahei nodded and said, "Let me make it short."
Ye Tingmu was speechless and complained, "That's really short."
Dahei's ox-eyed gaze sideways, curiously examining a certain part of him, asked, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
Ye Tingmu's body suddenly shook.
Rogue cow? Driving cow?
"So, the Daozu's mount is you?"
"right."
"Then I understand. You followed us because one of us is the reincarnation of the Taoist Ancestor."
“That’s right.”
Ye Tingmu's body trembled again. The Taoist Ancestor was reincarnated into a powerful being. This was really awesome.
"So who is that person?"
"you guess?"
"Fuck... then what realm are you in?"
"you guess."
The man and the cow talked like this until the wine jar was empty and the moon set, and dark circles appeared under their eyes.
Big Black Bull never revealed who was the reincarnation of the Taoist Ancestor, and what his realm was.
However, the two of them returned to their former state of talking about everything.
It seemed that nothing had changed because of Dahei's greatness. It was still the big black cow that liked to eat radishes and carried a few little ones, and Ye Tingmu was still the quiet scholar.
