"Hmm, this man looks a little weird, he doesn't seem to be alive. No, I'll have to try to find out. ”

Sun Changkong, who regained his confidence, bounced directly from the ground after a carp was stiffened. However, at the same time, the opponent's intensive punching strength also came together.

"Shiva fire, come out!"

With a thought, the fire demon unfolded from under Sun Changkong's body like a huge fishing net. And as soon as those fists touched the flames, they began to burn one after another, and there was no room for resistance. On the other side, the mysterious man on the ground actually had some small flames on his body at this moment, although it looked painless, but it was extremely fatal to him.

"Ahh

The fire spread like a virus through the man's body, and from time to time his hair, eyebrows, and even the stubble around his mouth burned. In the midst of the burning fire, the man finally couldn't bear it anymore and jumped into the nearby lake. Immediately, bursts of white smoke rose from the lake and flew into the distance like a soul.

After a long time, I saw a humanoid puppet composed of wood floating on the surface of the water, and there were still charring marks left by the fire on its body, so it was the mysterious person who had just attacked Sun Changkong.

It turned out that the man was really a wooden man.

Sun Changkong finally fished the puppet out of the water, and after careful observation, he found that the puppet seemed to have a simple structure, but the internal structure was extremely complex, but there were no less than 100 transmission devices for each joint. Moreover, in order to make the puppet move without errors, the requirements for overall precision are extremely strict. He didn't know who else could create something like this under the heavens.

"Hehe, not bad, Huo Kemu, my wooden puppet died unjustly, you are the little friend surnamed Sun!"

With the sound of speaking, Sun Changkong suddenly looked back, but at some point, on the shore of the lake behind him, there was a middle-aged man dressed in crimson. Although he only glanced at it, Sun Changkong had already felt a unique domineering and charm in the other party's eyebrows, even if he was a former human emperor, he sighed to himself.

"May I ask who Your Excellency is?" asked Sun Changkong with his fists clenched.

At this time, the middle-aged man finally stood up from the shore, and it was at this time that Sun Changkong found that there was actually a slender bamboo pole beside the other party, and a silk thread hung on the other side of the bamboo pole, and the silk thread was submerged under the water. It turned out that the other party was fishing. But after Sun Changkong thought about it several times, he could be sure that he really didn't think of the existence of the other party just now, could it be that this person is a ghost?

Just when Sun Changkong was puzzled, the middle-aged man finally spoke: "Hehe, aren't you here to find the king? ”

"You!"

After Sun Changkong looked up and down, he still couldn't believe the other party's words. Although in terms of temperament, the person in front of him is somewhat similar to the king. But the other party's dress, actions, and especially this approachable attitude made Sun Changkong really unable to associate the other party with the king. In his opinion, isn't this just an ordinary middle-aged person?

The middle-aged man seemed to see Sun Changkong's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Why, you don't believe that I am the king?"

Sun Changkong nodded gently, but after a while, when he realized that he was unreasonable, he quickly shook his head again, and then said, "No, I didn't mean that." But I've never seen a big man as amiable as you. In other words, shouldn't the king be the kind of fairy wind bone, transcendent birth, and not eating the fireworks of the world? But I can't see it in you at all!"

As he spoke, the silk thread connected to the bamboo pole suddenly moved twice, and at this time, the middle-aged man's figure shook and reached out to pick up the bamboo pole on the ground. At the same time, the silk thread at the other end of the bamboo pole also surfaced, and a catfish weighing less than four catties immediately broke through the water.

"This!"

Before Sun Changkong could scream, the middle-aged man had already fished the fish to the shore, and threw it into the open space on the side, waiting for it to be burned at the stake.

"This fish has an earthy smell on it, it is not good to cook, and it is still relatively easy to eat. Come, get me some firewood!"

In this way, Sun Changkong really ran around, picked up some slightly dry firewood, and sent it to the shore. At this time, the fish has been disemboweled, disemboweled, and cleaned. Then, the middle-aged man skillfully inserted the fish on a branch, then set it on a makeshift grill and set it on fire.

Looking at the blackening scales on the surface of the catfish, Sun Changkong's saliva had already begun to flood. Speaking honestly, he had forgotten how long it had been since he had eaten, and now he had really disturbed the roundworms hidden in his body, so he kept making trouble.

"It's a bit boring to have only fish, if you can get some wine at this time...... Hehe, no matter what, now is in a special period, drinking alcohol is easy to eat by mistake, it's okay not to drink. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man cast his eyes on Sun Changkong, and suddenly said, "Are you from the Rising Continent?"

After listening to the other party's question, Sun Changkong couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly said: "Yes, yes." ”

"Hehe, good birds choose trees to perch, let alone people. Although you are a person from the Rising Continent, as long as you can let go of your prejudice and know your way back, I still welcome you. ”

As he spoke, he put another piece of wood into the fire, and then said, "To tell you the truth, I used to live here thousands of years ago, when I was not yet a king. Coincidentally, I also had a friend surnamed Sun here at the time. It's just that thousands of years have passed, and if I haven't been able to break through the realm of immortals, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll be dead long ago!"

"Oh, it turns out that there is such a coincidence in the world! It seems that it is a fate that I can meet you here!"

"Well, I hope so! Since you are the Rising Continent, you should be familiar with the situation here. ”

Sun Changkong knew that the other party was going to put words out of his mouth, but with his current situation, he couldn't openly refuse the other party. After some weighing, he had to say: "Actually, I'm not too familiar with this place, but I heard that something big happened in the imperial city, so I came to find out." ”

Jiang Wang nodded, then glanced at the fish that had been roasted to a little curled up on the fire, and then said, "I heard Xuan Ang say, do you know kung fu?"

Sun Changkong smiled awkwardly, and then replied: "A little, it's not enough." ”

"Hehe, you are a shy person when you look at the little brother, but it is very much with my appetite. Since Xuan Ang recommended you to me, there must be a reason for him. However, if a little-known newcomer wants to join the ranks of Penglai elites, he will inevitably be excluded by some old people. If you want them to be convinced, you have to show real talent. ”

Sun Changkong nodded, then stood up and saluted the king: "What does the king command, even if Ah Jiu forgets to die, he will do his best to complete it." ”

The king laughed, and waved his hand at the same time: "Seeing that you are nervous, I didn't ask you to send you to death, what are you doing so seriously." I mean, with your current merits, you can't gain a foothold among the Penglai elite, and you have to do something admirable to establish your prestige as soon as possible. Besides, Xuan Ang values you so much, you just need to follow behind him and reap a lot of benefits by making up a few slashes, so you don't have to worry. ”

Sun Changkong smiled awkwardly, and then said, "It's Ah Jiu who thinks too much, please forgive the king." ”

The king said "hey", and then said: "I'm tired of listening to the king's generals all day long." My name is Cao Chuncheng, I have a name and a surname, why do you call me by my title. In this way, you will call me Uncle Cao in the future!"

Sun Changkong said with a sad face: "But if Ah Jiu does this, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among others!"

When Jiang Wang heard what the other party said, it also made sense, so he continued: "Then you can do what you should do in front of people, but in private, you can call me Uncle Cao, so it's always okay, right?"

Sun Changkong smiled: "Okay, just do it, Uncle Cao." ”

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter. At this time, the catfish on the fire also shook quite appropriately, and then fell off the grill and threw itself into the charcoal fire......

After Sun Changkong and the general finished eating the scorched fish, they both got up and prepared to return to the military tent. However, on the way back, Sun Changkong saw those sneaky spies again, and Li Jian was still at the head.

"Meet the General!"

The moment he knelt on the ground, Li Jian showed a strange expression and glared at Sun Changkong fiercely. He didn't know why the two of them were alone, and he didn't know what they had just said. But even then, the plan still has to go ahead as usual.

The king nodded: "Get up, tell me quickly, what you have gained from this expedition, by the way, did you see the secret envoy I sent on the way back? According to the time, he should have come back before you." ”

Hearing this, Sun Changkong's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and Li Jian smiled weirdly, and then said: "Returning to the king, the secret envoy has already suffered an accident." ”

"What? he's dead? Who is so bold that even my secret envoy dares to kill him. Don't he know that when he sees the secret envoy, he still sees the king himself?"

Before Li Jian could continue, Sun Changkong had already fallen to the ground first, and said, "Please forgive the king, the secret envoy was killed by Ah Jiu." ”

"What? It turned out to be you!"

When the king turned around, two pillars of fire-like gaze both fell on Sun Changkong's body, burning his back hot. But even so, he can't raise his head rashly, otherwise it will make things worse.

"You...... Why do you want to kill my secret envoy?" said the king in a deep voice.

"Because ......"

"Because he pretended to be an envoy and wanted to win our trust, but he never thought that he would be bumped into by a real envoy on the way. In order not to reveal his identity, he will kill the secret envoy. Thanks to the timely arrival of Xuan Ang Baoshuai at this time, several of us were able to avoid death. General, you have to seek justice for the secret envoy!"

Witnessing Li Jian's superb acting skills, Sun Changkong sneered and said secretly: "You are so good at acting, it's a pity not to be a play!"
