Chapter 454 Three People Knock on the Door, the Secret of the River Mother

Ji Huo impatiently put on a black robe to cover his face. Sometimes, being too handsome would only cause trouble. He deliberately wore a black robe to cover his face because he didn't want his face to be too memorable.

Pushing open the door, the candlelight swayed slightly due to the change in airflow.

"Sir, please look... today's room fee..."

The waiter laughed, he bent over, hunched over, with a flattering smile on his face, rubbing his hands back and forth in front of his chest.

A street style.

Ji Huo was tall, a head taller than the waiter. At this moment, he stood at the door. Because of the lights in the room, his shadow extended outside the door.

Almost covering the waiter, his hands behind his back slowly stretched out his claws, feeling disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

"Ahem." Ji Nan coughed lightly.

Ji Huo instantly retracted his claws and took out a few silver coins from his pocket. The waiter quickly spread his hands and looked at the silver coins. His eyes were straight. This was a lot of money. Ji Huo slapped the silver heavily on the waiter's hand, with a crisp and loud snap.

Then, the waiter screamed, and Ji Huo closed the door and said lightly: "Don't bother us these days."

The waiter knelt at the door, looking down at his hands, which had turned red and black, numb and a little stinging, and the silver pieces were imprinted in the flesh.

"Hiss..."

His tears could not stop flowing, and as time passed, his palms became more and more swollen, like a pair of pig's trotters, and looked very hideous.

Ji Huo's slap just now broke all the blood vessels in his hands and dislocated the bones...

It can be said that this slap alone was enough to ruin the waiter's life. Whether he could still use his hands was another matter.

"Get out!" Ji Huo's voice came from the room.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The waiter was frightened and panicked. He still had an old mother to take care of at home. He came out to make a living. Even if he was wronged, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

The key is that he has not realized the seriousness of this palm. He just felt the pain was unbearable.

The waiter wiped his tears with his elbow and hurried downstairs, but at the corner, he was grabbed by a hand and stopped.

"Sir, is there something wrong?" The waiter was puzzled.

"No."

The guest shook his head and slowly released his wrist.

The waiter bowed a few times and went downstairs humbly. When he walked to the second floor, he found that his hand had been swollen without knowing when.

He moved his palm.

It was intact. The severe pain just now gradually faded. He thought that his injury would take at least ten days and half a month to recuperate.

"Could it be...that guest?" The waiter recalled the white-clothed swordsman who grabbed his wrist at the corner.

But he couldn't remember the other person's face.

"Forget it."

The waiter muttered and continued to work.

...

In the room.

Ji Huo took off his black robe and hung it on the wooden rack at the door. His handsome face could not hide his disgust.

"You broke his hand with this palm." Ji Nan said sweetly.

"I'm so annoyed." Ji Huo looked disdainful. "If you live such a humble life, what's the point of living?"

"If it wasn't inappropriate, I would have helped him twist off his head and take out his heart."

Ji Nan supported her chin, the moonlight sprinkled on her face, she looked in a certain direction, and was also a little puzzled, "Brother Bei Ming specifically asked us to be cautious in this city."

"It seems that he is worried about the River Mother Temple, but is the River Mother Temple really that scary?"

Ji Huo sneered: "It's not that the River Mother is scary, but the temple is like its eyes. If it is discovered by it, our plan will be exposed. We really need to be careful when acting under their noses."

In fact, what the two didn't know was.

Their brother Bei Ming had fought with the River Mother thousands of years ago.

In addition to being afraid of the plan being exposed.

There is also the shadow of being beaten, which he has always been ashamed to talk about, and regarded as a shame. It also made the naturally proud mermaid Tianjiao feel fear and jealousy towards the human race.

He was already the top genius of the mermaids, but he was still defeated when facing that woman. The opponent's body was so weak, but he felt that he could not resist.

Especially at that time.

In the later stage of the battle, the opponent's move made his scalp tingle. Ji Beiming, one of the three geniuses of the mermaids, was frightened and plunged into the sea and fled in a panic.

Later, he heard that the woman's cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, and she sang all the way. Only Ji Beiming knew the pain in his heart. And in order to maintain the dignity of the mermaids, he had to suppress it in his heart.

So in the later stage, he had a demon in his heart, and his state of mind was cracked, which was slightly inferior to the other two geniuses.

With all these things, when he looked through the Hemu Temple and saw the face in the temple, his scalp was slightly numb. Naturally, he did not dare to get close, let alone make trouble.

Ji Huo and Ji Nan had never known these inside stories, and they could only speculate. They were not unfamiliar with the incense god. This was a way to prolong life that the human race had extended after the reform.

In their opinion, the East God and the South God of Dayu were just like that, and the higher-level He Mu must be just like that.

"By the way, Ji Huo, I have always had a question." Ji Nan looked at the bright moon outside the window and asked curiously, "Who is stronger between you and your brother?"

Ji Huo frowned slightly when he heard this, and was slightly displeased. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Of course it's me."

"Oh?" Ji Nan looked at Ji Huo with a smile.

Ji Huo said, "I have a deeper understanding of the image of the West Sea than I do. It has already condensed into a purple-blue color. Just based on this, I am half a step ahead of my brother."

"That's right." Ji Nan nodded in agreement.

The mermaids have strong bodies. At the bottom of the mermaid land, there are four ferocious sea images guarding one place. It has been passed down since ancient times.

The mermaids can comprehend the magical powers of the body by visualizing the sea image, which is of great benefit whether it is close combat or long-range combat.

Only those who have reached the level of refining emptiness have the opportunity to contact the four sea images.

The ferocious image of the evil sea, the terrifying image of the swallowing sea, the jealous image of the overturning sea, and the image of the dead sea.

Each guards one side.

"I heard from Brother Bei Ming that the provocative swordsman in white has been blasted into pieces by him." Ji Nan said.

"Of course." Ji Huo nodded, "It is difficult for human cultivators to resist my brother's attack."

"According to the time, my brother should be back in a day or two..."

"Wait, I suddenly have a strong premonition that my brother is coming back!"

The voice fell.

"Knock, knock..."

Three knocks on the door sounded.
