Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 398 Seven Souls Fuya
The extremely strong guy made his bronze chest muscles swell with just a casual movement, full of the beauty that only belongs to strength.

Looking at the middle-aged King Yu in front of him, he is generous, friendly, but domineering in every move.

Jiang Lin silently compared the old man with the impression he had of him.

As expected, the flowering period of men is really not long, and even the Human Emperor is no exception.

"Junior... has no home here."

Jiang Lin sighed in his heart and spoke softly.

With these words, the smile on King Yu's face disappeared, and the people around him also fell silent.

In this world, it is very normal to have no home.

"It doesn't matter. A real man will never have trouble finding a home!"

King Yu broke the silence, looked at Jiang Lin deeply, and said to him with a smile: "No matter where you come from, no matter if you have a home or not, as long as you are here, in front of me, as long as you are a human, everyone here can be your family!"

Jiang Lin nodded silently.

What he just said was ambiguous and contained a subtle reminder.

Obviously, the other human ancestors around "misunderstood" Jiang Lin's words and only saw the superficial meaning.

But King Yu obviously felt something more.

But the last emperor of the world had no intention of pursuing the matter.

It seemed like he was responding to Jiang Lin's words on the surface, but the inner meaning was also very clear in Jiang Lin's ears.

No matter where you come from, no matter your purpose, you are a human being, you do the work, you follow me, then you are my person.

There is no doubt about the Human Emperor's broad-mindedness, domineering character, and ability to judge people.

Because Jiang Lin really didn't have any bad intentions.

King Yu didn't say anything more to Jiang Lin, but turned around and looked at the newly opened river channel.

“After the heavy rain, the water level surged.”

King Yu said softly, "But the principle of prosperity and decline also applies to rivers."

"The surge will eventually subside."

He made a canopy with his hands, looked out over the entire river, shook his head, and said, "This section of the river is too smooth. We need to dig further back, deeper, and more slanted."

"We have to build a dam, otherwise when the water flow slows down, there will be no water to irrigate the fields on both sides."

King Yu was muttering to himself, and someone was recording his words and actions.

"Good boys!"

King Yu wiped the liquid mixed with sweat and rain from his face and shouted: "Continue..."

Halfway through the conversation, King Yu sniffed, suddenly changed the subject, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Eat first!"

Everyone was a little surprised by this sudden turn.

But immediately they cheered and swarmed in one direction.

Jiang Lin squinted his eyes and looked over, only to see large wooden boards "flowing" over almost along the ground. When he got closer, he discovered that they were cute foxes with fiery red fur carrying the door panels and running over.

On the door were large pieces of roasted meat and a paste made from millet and beans.

Apparently everyone was already familiar with this strange scene, and they took the door panel enthusiastically. Some even reached out and rubbed the fox's head.

Then, Jiang Lin watched helplessly as the big fox that was being rubbed suddenly transformed into a young girl with rosy cheeks. She lifted up her skirt and kicked the man who had reached out his hand blindly into the river.

"Hahahahaha!!"

Everyone laughed and praised the fox girl for her quick and decisive kick.

Then there was a somewhat chaotic dining scene, mixed with the fox girls' helpless shouting as they tried to maintain order, which was not fundamentally different from the university cafeterias of later generations.

On the river bank after the rain, foxes, humans, ordinary mortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals were mixed together, but there was nothing abrupt.

"Come, eat."

King Yu took a huge leg of some unknown animal and stuffed it into Jiang Lin's arms, and handed Jiang Lin a wooden bowl as big as a head.

It is filled with a paste made from millet and beans.

The beans are cooked to the point where their shape is hard to see and they don’t look very good, but they are the most solid food of this era.

Such a big bowl, if you are frugal, is enough for a family of three to have two meals.

Jiang Lin took a sip and there was nothing special about the taste. It wasn't unpalatable but it wasn't delicious either. It had a distinct salty taste.

"It doesn't taste good, does it? Those fox cubs are not very good at making a big pot of rice. They need to be trained well."

King Yu spoke quietly, also holding a large bowl, and with a bang, he ate everything in his stomach.

Then he picked up a large piece of barbecue and chewed it.

Jiang Lin stared blankly.

"Eat it. I tell you, Kui's thigh meat is not always available. I saw that you worked so hard today, so I snatched it away and gave it to you."

Seeing that Jiang Lin was a little dazed, King Yu urged him vaguely.

夔？
In the East China Sea there is a mountain called Liubo Mountain, which is 7,000 miles into the sea. On it stands a beast that looks like an ox, with a blue body, no horns, and one foot. Whenever it enters or leaves the water, there will be wind and rain. Its light is like the sun and the moon, and its sound is like thunder. Its name is Kui. Huangdi got it, used its skin to make a drum, and pricked it with the bones of the thunder beast. The sound could be heard 500 miles away, and it frightened the world.

The records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas subconsciously flashed through Jiang Lin's mind.

Then he looked at the whole roasted leg in his hand.

So, what is in my hand is the one leg of the ancient monster Kui?

Jiang Lin reflected silently. If it were placed in the Three Realms, a pure-blooded Kui would not be very precious, but it would be enough to become the guardian beast of a medium to large-scale magic lineage.

But here, it seems to be only suitable for the dining table...

Although in the mouth of King Yu, Kui seems to be a rare SR-level ingredient...

Well... Kui should find this comforting.

Jiang Lin thought to himself, opened his mouth fiercely and bit it.

It’s a rough method, nothing much to say, just grill it over high heat, sprinkle salt on it, and it’s done when it’s cooked.

There is no technical content at all, and it is full of ancient barbarism and simplicity.

But thanks to the unique meat quality of the ancient beast, this thing tastes so satisfying that you can't stop eating it.

The extremely rich gravy burst in Jiang Lin's mouth, and his eyes widened.

"good to eat!"

Jiang Lin couldn't help but shout, and his voice was like thunder.

Wow, this thing has this effect?

The skin of the Kui beast can be made into a drum, and when it is hit with the bones of the thunder beast, the sound can be heard five hundred miles away.

But I didn’t expect that eating it would have a similar effect?
"Hahahaha! Eat more, kid. There's still a lot of work to do later!"

King Yu laughed heartily and ate voraciously.

Jiang Lin nodded at the side, but saw a woman with a round face, broad forehead, big eyes, and dressed very neatly, walking towards him with big strides.

"You have no manners when eating, and you are corrupting your children."

The woman put her hands on her hips and glared at King Yu, then looked at Jiang Lin with a gentle smile on her face.

"Child, don't listen to him. Eat slowly. There is always work to do, but the amount of food you eat at each meal is limited. Only by chewing slowly can you savor more flavors."

Jiang Lin nodded and recognized that the woman was Tushan Nujiao.

"It is right for a man to eat generously."

King Yu grumbled in dissatisfaction, but under Nujiao's gaze, he slowed down his eating.

"You think everyone is like you, rough and ugly."

Tushan Nujiao glared at King Yu again.

King Yu smiled nonchalantly, and Tushan Nujiao let out a sigh of relief. The two looked at each other and saw the love and affection in each other's eyes.

"I'll go get another bowl of rice."

Jiang Lin carried the Kui beast's thigh and turned away silently.

It’s better not to eat dog food if you can avoid it.

"What do you think of this kid?"

King Yu said vaguely while chewing the meat.

Tushan Nujiao's expression changed, because while King Yu was speaking, he had activated a ban to ensure that their conversation would not be heard by others.

"Is there something wrong with that child?"

Tu Shan Nu Jiao frowned and asked, but immediately shook her head and said, "It doesn't look like there's a problem."

Thinking of Jiang Lin's pretty face and his gentle and polite temperament, Tushan Nujiao naturally had some affection for Jiang Lin. Of course, it had nothing to do with love between men and women, she just liked him.

"I didn't say he had a problem. He is a pure-blooded human. Although his bloodline is a bit distant, he is definitely a descendant of Emperor Shennong. If I'm not mistaken, he is from the Lieshan clan, one of the three main branches of the Shennong Jiang clan."

King Yu shook his head and told Tushan Nujiao what Jiang Lin had just said, which was a bit strange. "You don't have a home here?"

As King Yu's virtuous wife and the most outstanding existence in the history of the Tushan Fox Clan, Tushan Nujiao naturally saw the deeper meaning of Jiang Lin's words.

"How big is the area that the child mentioned?"

Tushan Nujiao seemed to be thinking: "The human world? The Three Realms? Or... outside the Three Realms?"

King Yu shook his head slightly.

"No, it's too easy."

"Simple?"

Tushan Nujiao was stunned for a moment.

"There's a sense of distance between this child and you, me, and us."

King Yu said softly.

"You mean, he doesn't consider himself a member of the human race?"

Tushan Nujiao's expression became serious.

"Nujiao, you think too much. Don't follow my ministers' lead and speculate on my words when you have nothing better to do."

King Yu shook his head helplessly, looked at Jiang Lin who was drinking from a large bowl not far away, and said softly: "I don't feel the intimacy and reliance between us and that child."

"Instead, there is a kind of...excessive respect and worship."

"It's like in his eyes, whether it's me, you, other humans, or the fox cubs from Tushan, we are all beings he should respect and even worship."

Tushan Nujiao seemed to be thinking about something, and concluded: "It's just like when you saw His Majesty Fuxi."

“Yes, that’s the feeling.”

King Yu nodded and said, "The human race can be what it is today, and the contribution of His Majesty Fuxi is unquestionable. It is because of the shoulders of the seven previous human emperors that the human race has achieved its current status."

"And the feeling that child gave me... In his eyes, I was not just someone standing on the same shoulder with him, but... I had a share of the shoulder he was standing on."

"Is that so?"

Tushan Nujiao thought for a moment and exchanged a glance with King Yu. The Human Emperor and his wife reached a consensus in this glance.

A guess was also confirmed.

"Don't disturb him."

King Yu finally said: "No matter what he wants to do, as long as he is a human, he should stand on our shoulders to see the world."

"It is his birthright and my duty."

"Isn't this what we fought so hard for?"

King Yu smiled slightly.

Tushan Nujiao looked at her husband in fascination. Even though she was so familiar with him, she was still overwhelmed by his boundless spirit and mind.

"Listen to you."

Tushan Nujiao couldn't help but hug King Yu gently, poking his steel-like abdominal muscles and resting her forehead on the bend of his neck.

"I don't know why, but when I saw that child, I felt comfortable and close to him, as if... I saw my own child."

King Yu hugged Nv Jiao and whispered in her ear, "When the flood control is successful, we will have our own children."

"Not only that, by then, all the water veins in the Nine Provinces will belong to us."

"When that time comes, those old guys in your tribe who are stuck in the past will know that only I, Si Wenming, am the best and only man for you, Tushan Nujiao!"

"I will prove to the entire Three Realms that the man you choose is not wrong."

After saying this, King Yu let go of Tushan Nujiao, whose pretty face was blushing, and strode towards his people.

"Good boys!"

"Work!"

…………

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

Jiang Lin panted heavily, picked up a huge stone, flew up to the half-formed embankment, and exerted force with his arms.

The huge rock sank into the river and merged with the dam.

Jiang Lin stood on the embankment with his hands on his hips, leaning forward slightly. He felt sore in his back and waist, as if he was soaked in water.

"Good boy, I misjudged you. You can defeat ten of them."

King Yu carried a stone that was more than ten times bigger than Jiang Lin's and threw it into the dam, which drew cheers from the crowd.

"Ten days of non-stop work, I am the only one who can do it. You are the second one."

King Yu did not hide his admiration for Jiang Lin at all.

Even the Taiyi Golden Immortal only has a tiny advantage in this confrontation between the way of man and the way of nature.

Such a small advantage definitely cannot support Jiang Lin's high-intensity work for ten days and ten nights.

Then, there is only one explanation, and that is will.

This kid's willpower is stronger than most people present.

I really envy Brother Shennong for having such an outstanding descendant in the future.

King Yu sighed silently in his heart.

If King Yu still cannot guess Jiang Lin's origins after ten days of contact, he would be unworthy of being the quasi-human emperor.

"The food cooked by Her Highness Nujiao is delicious."

Jiang Lin chuckled and swung his arms.

"Then eat more."

King Yu laughed and took out a huge thing that looked like a chicken leg like a magic trick and stuffed it into Jiang Lin's mouth without saying a word.

Jiang Lin didn't care what kind of meat it was and started chewing it in big mouthfuls.

After extreme fatigue, Jiang Lin's stomach and intestines suddenly received the highly nutritious supplement from the ancient beasts, and they started running like an engine.

There was a sound like thunder.

Jiang Lin's face flushed, not because of embarrassment, but because of being teased.

King Yu glanced at Jiang Lin and asked softly, "Is it delicious?"

Jiang Lin nodded, and suddenly covered his stomach with a strange look on his face.

His face was abnormally red and he even bent over.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

King Yu laughed and said, "The stamens of the ten thousand year old ginseng are not so easy to bear."

Jiang Lin widened his eyes. It turned out that this was not meat, but a ginseng doll. No, it was the thing of the thousand-year-old ginseng giant?
King Yu looked at Jiang Lin who was in a bad state, and suddenly hid his smile. He said softly: "Boy, I have seen some of what you want to do."

"You are indulging your seven souls. These days, you have been eating a lot, working a lot, but resting little. You have made yourself tense and put a lot of pressure on your seven souls, forcing them to operate irrationally. This is not a healthy state."

“But you did it.”

"I don't know what you're going to do, but I still want to help you."

"Extreme fatigue has put you in a state where you can't cope with crises, and has also made your corpse dog more sensitive than it should be."

"Eat far more food than the average person, and keep your swallower running all the time."

"You don't care about the dirty and tiring work, causing poisonous gas to enter your body, but you don't excrete it. It's not poisonous, it stinks in your lungs, and it's also decontaminated. You've pushed me to my limit."

"The only thing left is Queyin."

"Now, I will make up for your indulgence in Que Yin. Do whatever you want to do as soon as possible. If I see that there is anything wrong with you, I will stop you immediately."

"You have to know that indulging the seven spirits is definitely not the right way."

King Yu said a lot in one breath, and his expression was extremely serious.

Jiang Lin touched it and nodded.

He was not surprised at all that King Yu could see that something was wrong with him. It would have been strange if he couldn't see it.

Jiang Lin sat down cross-legged, and the Seven Souls Technique began to work vigorously.

At the same time, the six seven-spirit magical objects in the Dantian also began to vibrate and hum.

Almost at the moment when the energy of Jiang Lin's seven souls divine object was released, with a "boom", Jiang Lin's abnormal six souls led to the crucial seventh soul.

"Hidden arrow" appeared above Jiang Lin's head.

This seventh Seven Souls Divine Object has never left and has always been on Jiang Lin's body.

It just requires an opportunity, an indispensable energy that has the right time, place and people, to appear.
