A few months later.
A small fishing boat on the East China Sea.
As the sun sets, two children run and play on the beach. For the children of fishermen living by the sea, this is a very common pastime before dinner.
Soft sand, cool evening breeze, and sometimes you can pick up shells, shrimps and crabs mixed in the mud and sand.
"Brother, there's a big fish washed ashore over there." One of the children shouted, pointing to a big fish stranded on the beach in the distance.
The fish was more than seven feet long, grayish white in color, and covered with many shells.
Children at the seaside are never afraid of fish. When the two children saw that the fish was not small, they knew that they could definitely get a good price if they took it back to sell. So they immediately ran over and observed the big fish carefully.
This fish has a strange appearance, with a layer of exoskeleton attached to its face, making it look like it is wearing a bone mask.
At the same time, the fish's belly was extremely swollen, and it looked like a pregnant female fish. The two brothers looked at each other, quickly took out a sharp dagger from their arms, stabbed it hard into the fish's belly, and then cut it open.
Hiss!!!
The moment the knife cut open, a large amount of fish eggs burst out of the big fish's body and scattered all over the ground.
Each of these fish eggs is the size of a grape, as crystal-clear as crystal, and deep red in color, looking like a work of art.
The two children had never seen such beautiful fish eggs before, and they couldn't help but reach out and pick up one to observe it.
The fish roe is as crystal clear as amber, allowing people to clearly see the small black bead inside. The moment the two children picked up the fish roe, a fragrance emanated directly from the fish roe, which was extremely tempting.
How could the two children resist such an enticing aroma? They were like possessed and immediately put the fish roe into their mouths and started chewing it hard.
The fish roe melts in your mouth and tastes sweet and mellow, it is simply a delicacy.
The two brothers' eyes lit up, they looked at each other, and hurriedly squatted down, grabbing handfuls of fish roe and stuffing them into their mouths frantically. They ate the juicy and crispy fish, leaving a lingering fragrance in their mouths.
“Hmm!”
The little kids were ignorant and dared to put anything into their mouths. The two brothers were shocked all over and suffered a marrow-washing attack. They were forced to vomit out a lot of black mud. Their skin, which had become extremely dry due to the sea breeze, suddenly became white, tender and as smooth as a baby's.
But this was not the biggest change for the two. They looked at each other, smiled in tacit understanding and said, "I understand."
The older brother asked, "What did you realize?"
The younger brother responded, "Water gives birth to all things, and this is the way to control water."
As he moved his right hand, a large amount of blue light surged from the sea water next to him and gathered into a water ball above his palm.
This water ball sometimes turns into a line and sometimes turns into a surface, which is very flexible.
My younger brother asked, "What have you realized?"
"Wood is the spirit of the earth, and it is the way of growth." My brother stomped his feet, and saplings began to grow rapidly from under the beach, and soon this place turned into a forest.
"My brother and I have such an opportunity today. Why don't we establish a sect here and explore the great path of martial arts?"
"Can."
He is obviously only eleven or twelve years old, but after eating the fish roe, he behaved very maturely and spoke like an adult. It was magical.
After the two confirmed each other's thoughts, they left together.
At the same time, similar situations are common throughout the world.
An old man from Shu was fishing by the river when he suddenly caught a silver snow eel. He took it home and shared it with his whole family. Within three hours, all six members of the family had white scales on their bodies, their arms were strong and powerful, and they could even jump several feet high. They were invulnerable to swords and spears, comparable to martial artists who had practiced internal force for many years.
A big man from the northern desert was carrying water at an oasis. When he was thirsty, he drank on the spot. Unexpectedly, not long after, he had a thought and was able to control the water into a rope, so he could walk on the water as if it were flat ground. It was very strange.
Somewhere in southern Xinjiang, a dying wizard from a small tribe drank the water that his tribesmen had just brought back from a creek. His life, which had been on the verge of extinction, was immediately revived, and he regained his youthful appearance, just like a divine presence.
There are countless examples of this. Some people profited from them, while others ended up with a miserable end like the four officials of the Chen family.
The world is in turmoil, as if a brand new prosperous era is surging towards us along with history.
Later generations concluded that this was due to the decline of martial arts, the rise of immortality, and the practice of cultivating immortality all over the world.
…
Over the past few months, the wandering zombies in the Northern Desert have been completely eliminated by the Tang army and no longer pose a threat.
But during these few months, Chang'an received a lot of bad news, each of which was shocking and gave Sanhuang a headache.
In a certain place, all the villagers turned into monsters, and then they occupied the land and became kings. They broke away from the Tang Dynasty and established their own family in a certain mountain, cave or cave.
Sanhuang sent an army of 5,000 men to destroy them. Although they succeeded in annihilating them in the end, they also lost more than 2,000 soldiers, and the opponent was only a village of 600 people.
There is also an immortal sect established in a certain place. Its purpose is to cultivate Taoism and become an immortal. It has opened its gates wide and recruited many disciples. It is very popular and so arrogant that it dares not obey the orders of the imperial court.
San Huang sent an army of 30,000 to destroy the clan. Although the clan was eventually wiped out, the cultivators on the other side all possessed extraordinary skills and killed 8,600 of the 30,000 soldiers. That day, the mountain gate was filled with blood and corpses were scattered all over the ground, which shocked the world.
It's okay if these unstable factors can be controlled by the army, but Sanhuang is worried that as time goes by, these immortal cultivation forces and demon families will emerge in an endless stream like mushrooms after rain. After all, the court's army is limited. Once the day comes that these forces cannot be wiped out, the Tang Dynasty will be completely finished.
"Your Majesty, a secret report has come from southern Xinjiang, saying that a group of southern Xinjiang tribes have established themselves as the 'Five Poison Immortal Sect', openly seized the city, and imprisoned the city officials." A guard walked into the study and placed the letter on Sanhuang's desk.
Sanhuang rubbed his forehead with a headache. This was already the seventh force that had appeared this month to openly resist the imperial court. The terrain in southern Xinjiang was complex, with mostly deep mountains and forests and dangerous peaks. It was a natural barrier for the locals, but a tough nut to crack for the imperial army.
If forces that openly resist the imperial court appear in such places, if they are not handled properly, one may easily suffer serious injuries and even break one's teeth.
"I understand. Go ahead." San Huang waved his hand, and the guards immediately left the study.
"Master warned me about the East China Sea Water a long time ago, but I never imagined it would cause such a dramatic change in the world. Fortunately, it's not just the common people who have benefited from it." San Huang tapped his hand on the table and whispered, "Send out the Golden Dragon Army to eradicate this 'Five Poison Immortal Sect' in southern Xinjiang as soon as possible."
He seemed to be talking to himself, but the next moment a voice came from somewhere in the room.
"Yes, sir."
