Chu Wanning was neither servile nor overbearing even in front of a deity. He asked, "Exalted God, do you recognize me?"
"How can I not recognize you?"
Gouchen Shanggong smiled gently. "Many years ago, you came to the Jincheng Pool to ask for a sword. Your spiritual power was so profound and pure that I almost couldn't resist coming out to meet you.
How is it? Are you comfortable with the weapon? "
"Exalted God, which one are you referring to?"
"… Ah."
Gouchen Shanggong was stunned for a moment before he smiled. "Look at my memory, I forgot that I gave you two."
Chu Wanning said, "It's okay.
Tianwen is good. "
"Tianwen?"
"That willow vine."
"Oh.
I see. "Gouchen Shanggong smiled." You named it Tianwen?
What about the other one?
What's it called? "
Chu Wanning said, "Jiuge."
"How about Jiuge?"
"The cold air is strong, it doesn't use much."
Gouchen Shanggong sighed. "It's a pity."
After they finished talking, Gouchen Shanggong turned around and said, "Wangyue, I'll bring them down.
The spiritual power on the water is thin, it's not good for your body. You should go back earlier. "
The old dragon nodded and created a huge wave. Its dragon scales shone as it entered the pool.
At the same time, Chu Wanning placed a Water Repelling Talisman on the other three people. When Gouchen Shang Gong saw this, he couldn't help but look at Chu Wanning a few more times. He thought to himself, Among cultivators, it's rare to see someone as proficient in spells as him.
I wonder who his master is. '
However, Chu Wanning seemed to be unwilling to talk to anyone. Gouchen Shanggong didn't want to ask for a rebuff. After everyone was ready, they waded into the cold Jincheng Pool.
Because of the talismans, Mo Ran and the rest moved as if they were on land.
As they reached the bottom, a vast and boundless underwater world gradually appeared in front of them.
The bottom of the lake was covered with a large amount of fine and soft white sand, crisscrossed by crisscrossing paths, and floating aquatic plants. There were rows upon rows of exquisitely constructed houses.
On the streets and alleys, spirit beasts and immortal demons of all shapes and sizes were walking back and forth. Some demons and monsters that would never be able to coexist peacefully in the mortal world could coexist peacefully here.
Gouchen Shanggong said, "Jincheng Lake is rich in spiritual energy, forming a grotto-heaven.
Creatures settled down here, and often, they wouldn't migrate for generations. As a result, there were many things that were different from the mortal world.
If you're interested, you can look around. "
While they were talking, they saw a rabbit spirit with snow-white skin and red eyes riding on a white tiger with slanted eyes.
The rabbit spirit was wearing a white robe. She was graceful and elegant, and her expression was proud. She kept scolding the tiger to walk faster.
When he looked at the tiger again, its head was lowered and its eyebrows were lowered. It didn't look imposing at all.
Everyone was speechless. "…"
Gouchen Shanggong brought them along the main path. The shops on both sides were crowded with demons and monsters. After walking for a while, they arrived at the downtown area. There were even more demons and monsters dancing around. It was a marvelous scene.
"Jincheng Lake is used to communicate with the outside world. Most of the items they need are exchanged here."
Xue Meng said, "Rumors say that Jincheng Lake is formed by your blood. If that's the case, they are all supported by your spiritual energy. You must be the owner of this place, right?"
"I'm not the owner." Gouchen Shanggong smiled faintly. "Too much time has passed.
I've left the God World for many years, and my spiritual energy isn't the same as before.
Now that I think about it, what happened when the world was created is just like a dream. How much does it have to do with me now?
Now, the person in front of you is just a little sword forger. "
While he was talking, he brought them to walk around the downtown area.
The creatures at the bottom of the lake stayed with Gouchen Shanggong all the time, so they had forgotten about his identity as an Incipient God Realm expert. When they saw him, they didn't have any special reaction. They just continued to sell.
"Fish Blood Steamed Bun! Fresh Fish Blood Steamed Bun!"
"Shuiran Snake's Skin! It's the best material for clothes. Last three feet. If I sell them all, I'll have to wait for the next one."
"Selling Cuttlefish Daiko! I just spat out some ink this morning. It's the best thing to use this daiko to paint. Hey, hey, little girl, don't go!"
The shouts in the market were endless. The strange sights were too much for the eyes to take in.
The headless ghost was sitting in front of a stall selling hairbrushes and rouge powder. She held a horn comb with her long nails that were dotted with bright red cardamom. She rested her bloody head on her knees. While combing her hair, she said softly, "A fine bone comb. Please take one with you."
Xue Meng opened her eyes wide and looked around. She saw a pharmacy on the side, in which there were many busy Flood Dragon Humans. They were selling rare herbs that she had never seen before. Thinking of her mother's love for precious herbs, she was about to go closer to take a look when she suddenly heard a sharp, ear-piercing voice yelling from behind, "Excuse me, excuse me!
Let me pass first! "
Xue Meng retracted his leg and turned his head to look. However, he could not see anyone.
Gouchen Shanggong smiled. "It's under your feet.
Take a closer look. "
As expected, when Xue Meng took a closer look, he actually saw a pile of small stones walking on his own.
"This is really eye-opening. Even stones can walk.
Is it a rock spirit? "Xue Meng muttered.
Chu Wanning said, "Bi Bi."
"Fu Ban?"
"…" Chu Wanning looked at him indifferently. "It's fine if Mo Ran doesn't pay attention in class, but why are you not paying attention as well?"
Xue Meng was fully focused on practicing martial arts. However, he was not paying attention in literature and history. Due to Chu Wanning's prestige, he had to pretend to sit upright when he was teaching. However, in reality, everything went in one ear and out the other. Now that his master caught him red-handed, he immediately blushed.
Mo Ran rubbed his hands and smiled. "Master, I'm not happy to hear you say that.
I was really paying attention to this part. "
Xue Meng was not convinced. "Oh?
Then tell me about it. "
"Bi Bi is a type of insect. It is very greedy. As long as it sees a beautiful stone, it will try to carry it. In the end, it will be crushed to death by the stone it picked up."
Mo Ran looked at Chu Wanning with a smile.
"Master, don't you think I'm right?"
Chu Wanning nodded and said, "Bi Bi is extinct in the human world. I didn't expect there to be one left here."
When Gouchen Shanggong heard that, he said with a smile, "Well, it was only able to survive because of a small pharmacy.
Look, it's right there. "
Little by little, Bi 'an laboriously moved to the steps of the pharmacy and suddenly shouted, "I can't take it anymore!
Someone please come and save my life! "
A green dragon quickly swam out from inside. It was obvious that he had dealt with this situation countless times. He skillfully took a white porcelain bottle and poured some of the golden-red liquid on Lao Ai's body. As he poured, he leisurely smiled and said, "You seem to have gained a lot today?"
The Bi 'an that was called Foolish Old Man snorted. Its voice was lazy, and it was obviously very comfortable under the nourishment of the potion. "Hmph, it's fine, it's fine. Tomorrow, I'll bring back another 100 stones, and then I'll have 485,617 stones in my house."
Mo Ran: "…"
Chu Wanning: "…"
Shi Mei murmured, "You've already accumulated so many stones?"
The green dragon sprinkled the potion on Lao Ai's body and said, "Remember to come here early tomorrow. I think if you're late, I'm afraid this potion won't work."
"I know, I know.
Come early, come early. "
Lao Ai answered perfunctorily. Suddenly, he saw a beautiful light yellow stone at the corner of the wall and shouted at the top of his voice, "Little Loach … Oh, no, Doctor Jiao, that stone over there looks good. Please pick it up and put it on my back.
Then I'll have 485,618 stones tomorrow. "
Xue Meng couldn't help but walk over and ask, "Why do you need so many stones?
Are you building a house? "
Lao Ai's arrogant voice came from under the stones, and he said in a high-pitched voice, "What?
A mortal?
Oh, I haven't seen a mortal for many years. You're asking me why I need stones?
Of course, I'm not building a house. How can I be so boring? "
Shi Mei couldn't help but be curious, "Then what do you need them for?"
Lao Ai said confidently, "To count them!"
"…"
Everyone was speechless.
After strolling around the city for a while, Gouchen Shang Gong led them back to his residence.
At the corner of the street, there was a huge shell erected, like a wall in the mortal world.
After they entered the mansion, they saw that the mansion was divided into six sections. It was spacious and grand.
There were rooms in the hall, corridors, and gardens. The bead curtains made of seaweed and pearls swayed gently with the waves.
Some of the rooms were dark, while some were lit. There was a dim yellow candlelight inside, and the faint sound of konghou and harps could be heard.
Just like the medicine shop, the servants in the mansion were also from the Flood Dragon Clan.
Some of the Flood Dragon Clan people kept their tails, and some turned their tails into legs for convenience. However, they were still not used to wearing shoes, so they walked around barefooted.
Gouchen Shang Gong saw that the four of them had strange expressions on their faces, so he smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, please don't be surprised. I have a good relationship with Wangyue, so we live together.
He was once the Eastern Sea Crown Prince, and these servants followed him here after he settled down. "
Wangyue was the Black Flood Dragon Elder.
Mo Ran obtained God's Martial Spirit from the Black Flood Dragon in his previous life, so he was very close to it. When he heard what Gouchen Shang Gong said, he couldn't help but laugh, "Then where is he?
Such a huge creature like him should have transformed after he returned to the bottom of the sea, right?
Otherwise, this place won't be able to accommodate him. "
Gouchen Shang Gong nodded and said cheerfully, "Of course. However, he's old, so his physical strength isn't very good. He just came to the surface of the water, so he should be resting now.
If you want to see him, you'll have to wait for him to wake up. "
While they were talking, a Flood Dragon Person with long brown hair floated over. He bent down and bowed to Gouchen Shang Gong. When he opened his mouth, he spoke with an elegant voice.
"You're back, Exalted God.
Prince Wangyue has already told me what happened. Exalted God, are you going to bring the guests to the Divine Armory immediately? "
Gouchen Shang Gong didn't answer first. Instead, he looked at the guests warmly. Seeing that the four of them had no objections, he nodded, "That's good too. Also, please ask the kitchen to prepare some wine and dishes. We'll start the banquet when we return from the Divine Armory."
The crowd walked through the courtyard and came to the last entrance. In the middle of the courtyard, there was a giant willow tree. Perhaps it was different from the ones in the mortal world. The trunk of this willow tree was so thick that it would take ten grown men to hug it. The bark was old and strong, and the willow branches hung down like a green veil.
Xue Meng's voice was dry, "Wow, how old is this tree?"
Gouchen Shang Gong said, "I've never measured it before, but it should be more than a hundred thousand years old."
Xue Meng was shocked, "What kind of tree is it? How can it live for so long?"
"Trees are usually older than humans. Moreover, it is nourished by the aura of Jinchengchi, so there's nothing strange about it.
Everyone, please follow me closely. The entrance to the Divine Armory is in the hole of this willow tree, "Gouchen Shang Gong said. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Xue Meng.
"Try not to touch those hanging branches.
This tree has already become a spirit, it will hurt. "
However, it was a little too late. Xue Meng had already plucked a leaf.
He screamed, "Ah!", and at the same time, there was a faint moan in the air. There seemed to be a hoarse voice sighing softly, "Ouch!".
Xue Meng looked like he was struck by lightning. He quickly threw the leaf away and said, "What's going on?
Why is there blood here? "
Indeed, there was blood flowing out from the broken willow branches. The leaf that he threw away seemed to have a life of its own. It spasmed on the ground and after a while, it gradually calmed down. It lay in the distance and quickly curled up and became charred.
Gouchen Shang Gong said helplessly, "I already said that it has already become a spirit.
Why is little master still … "He shook his head and went forward to check on the broken branch. He urged his spiritual energy to calm the blood of the willow tree.
Chu Wanning said, "Xue Meng, come to my side.
Don't move anymore. "
"Yes, Master," Xue Meng knew that he had made a mistake. He could only lower his head and go over.
Fortunately, this small incident did not cause too much trouble. Chu Wanning apologized to Gouchen Shang Gong. The other party was indeed an Incipient God. He was magnanimous. He only smiled and said, "This little master's actions are too fast."
Xue Meng's face turned red. He followed behind Chu Wanning and lowered his head. He did not utter a word.
While they were talking, they passed through the lush willow trees and arrived in front of the thick tree trunk.
When they looked closer, they realized that the willow tree was much bigger than it looked from afar. At first, they thought that ten men could wrap their arms around it. Now that they looked closer, they realized that they had underestimated its thickness.
There was a tree hole in the middle of the willow tree trunk. Instead of calling it a tree hole, it was more like a giant arch door. It was wide and tall enough for three strong men to pass through at the same time.
There were many complicated barriers in front of the tree hole. Gouchen Shang Gong dispelled them one by one. He then turned around and smiled, "The Divine Martial Library is inside. It's a little small and messy. Please don't laugh at it."
Mo Ran was curious. He followed behind Gouchen Shang Gong and was about to enter when Chu Wanning casually pulled him behind him. He said faintly, "Slow down." He then walked in first.
Mo Ran was very familiar with his actions. In his previous life, when the four of them were killing monsters, Chu Wanning always walked in front. At that time, he only knew that his Master was impatient and arrogant. He did not want to fall behind the younger generation.
However, Mo Ran was reborn. His thoughts were different from before. He looked at Chu Wanning's white robe disappearing into the darkness of the tree hole. He suddenly hesitated.
This person walked in front. Was it really because he was impatient and arrogant?
