Crossing the Sword

Chapter 177 Hou Tu's Child

"Bang!" After the silver arrow hit the lens, a huge explosion occurred immediately, completely blowing the entire lens apart. In this case, even if Ye Shisan wanted to condense again, it would take some time. With the psychological preparation, Yi was confident that he could take care of the water ball in the sky while dealing with Ye Shisan and his clone. After all, Ye Shisan also needed to devote some energy to condensing the water ball. Only then did Yi finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But he was too happy too early. As I said before, he made two mistakes. Before he could find Ye Shisan's trace, the tree under his feet suddenly changed. The branches on the tree instantly became longer and wrapped around his hands and feet tightly. Tightly tied to the trunk.

Yi wanted to struggle hard, but how could he possibly break the branches formed by the top-grade immortal weapon, the Earth's Edge, with his strength alone?

At the same time, a blue light flashed and went straight to Yi's throat. It was Ye Shisan's sword - Luo Tian!

Was he going to be killed just like that? Yi smiled bitterly and closed his eyes. Now, he was undoubtedly a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by Ye Shisan.

But the pain he expected did not come. After a moment, the restraints on his body loosened. Yi opened his eyes in confusion, only to find Ye Shisan standing in front of him with a smile, with a branch under his feet that was not there before. Seeing Yi open his eyes, he calmly said, "You lose."

Yi did not show too much disappointment, because Ye Shisan had given him enough opportunities to show his ability, and he accepted his defeat with all his heart. He put away his bow and arrow, nodded casually and said, "Yes, I admit defeat. And thank you for showing mercy." After that, he smiled at Ye Shisan in a friendly manner.

Ye Shisan was very satisfied with his performance. It was better to have such a promising archer as a friend than as an enemy.

The winner was decided, and Ye Shisan and Yi were teleported out at the same time and returned to the previous competition venue. At this time, a middle-aged man in black clothes stood up, walked up to the two of them, looked at them for a few seconds, nodded, and finally asked Yi: "Are you the contestant Yi from Youxiong Country? You performed very well. What is your last name, and who did you learn kung fu from?"

He asked Yi a few questions that were a bit confusing, but he also knew that since he could sit in the position of deputy to the Green Emperor, he must not be a simple person. He bowed and said, "I am Yi. I have been an orphan since I was a child and I don't have a surname. As for kung fu, I learned it in Youxiong National Academy. Now I have practiced for more than 50 years, but I have only reached the level of Yuanying Stage, and I don't have a master. May I ask who you are, senior?"

In fact, this is exactly what Yi lacks the most. If he had a set of top-level cultivation techniques like the "Weak Water Sutra", his achievements would be far more than this. So the main purpose of his coming this time was to worship Qingdi as his master, but he was defeated by Ye Shisan and lost this opportunity.

The middle-aged man in gray smiled and nodded. He thought to himself that with the simple knowledge he learned in the academy, he could achieve such achievements in fifty years. It can be seen that his talent is high. Although not as good as Ye Shisan, it is not far behind. And the best thing is that he has no master yet. Ye Shisan has been selected by the Green Emperor. If he accepts this Yi as his apprentice, it will be very good. Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and said: "I am Hou Tu, and I have no children now. I want to adopt you as my adopted son and pass on my legacy. What do you think?"

Surprise! This is definitely a surprise. Hou Tu is one of the top masters in Shenzhou, and is ranked among the five great gods! His skills are not as good as those of the Green Emperor, but they should not be underestimated! Yi sighed in his heart. Although he lost today, it was a blessing in disguise. Moreover, Hou Tu wanted to adopt him as his adopted son. From now on, he would no longer be an unwanted wild child! Thinking of this, Yi immediately knelt down and said, "Yi. Oh, no, Hou Yi greets his adoptive father!"

Ye Shisan also saluted Hou Tu, but he was surprised in his heart. So this is how the legendary Hou Yi got his name. It seems that he has really learned a lot today.

After returning to his seat, Jingwei and Baiyu immediately surrounded him and exaggeratedly boasted about Ye Shisan's performance. Ye Shisan almost felt proud after hearing this. However, Zhang Tianya was not too proud. After calming down, he immediately thought of the Qing Emperor's commission and hurriedly stood up and said to the Qing Emperor: "Your Majesty, the junior's competition today has ended. I would like to go back and study the case again. I hope Your Majesty will approve it."

The Qing Emperor nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Shisan said a few polite words and turned to leave the arena. Bai Yu still had a match to play, and Jingwei wanted to leave too when he saw him leaving. But Ye Shisan shook his head and said, "No, you should stay and watch the next match. It will definitely be of great help to your future cultivation. If I hadn't been busy, I wouldn't have missed it." After saying that, he flew away.

Ye Shisan did not return to his room, nor did he go to the crime scene. He felt that there were still some things he could not figure out, so he decided to go to the canteen to order some side dishes while no one was around, and think while he ate. But when he arrived at the canteen and landed, he found that the second line of the couplet had already appeared, which was the line of golden characters of the Qing Emperor. He did not expect that the Qing Emperor would fan those characters here with a casual move of his hand.

After ordering a few fruit plates and a pot of tea, Ye Shisan continued to think about the case. What did the word "Xuan" or "Nu" represent? Why did the murderer take the box of barbecue and leave the box behind? Also, what kind of kung fu did the murderer use to kill him, and how could the body be so horrible? If the murderer intentionally mutilated his body, what deep hatred did the murderer have with Kualeng?

There were many questions, but he had no clue. Ye Shisan thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out any of them.

Ye Shisan still hadn't found anything until Ling Fei and Bai Yu came back. Ling Fei was more concerned about the case than the two girls. As soon as he entered the room, he asked, "How is it, have you figured out anything?"

Ye Shisan was thinking about it, and shook his head after hearing it. He stretched out his hand to rub his temples before looking up and saying, "I didn't gain anything. I should have stayed to watch the game." In fact, although he said so, in fact, thinking about it for a while, even if there is no gain, it is not useless. At least it can make him have a deeper impression of this case, which is easier to inspire inspiration.

After hearing what Ye Shisan said, Jingwei immediately agreed, "You didn't watch the game today, what a big loss. Zhuanmeng is really good at acting, it's a pity that you missed it." Baiyu on the side also said, "Yeah, he pretended so well that Jingwei and I didn't see it."
