Having sent away the old man with his bristling whiskers, Deng Chanyun rode on a long-overdue Biaozi with a scarf knitted by his former classmate Ji Alice around her neck, touring the streets of NanDu to observe the impact.
The thing called the celebration was forcibly turned into a Spring Festival Gala by her.
"Sān guō, sān guō!"
The two-year-old girl, exquisitely sculpted like jade and powder, was extremely charming. However, she couldn't speak clearly and only knew to move her short legs and circle around Nezha.
Nezha's expression held impatience, but he still picked up his younger sister, patted her head, and showed affection.
The peach blossoms have completely healed the physical injuries sustained by Mrs. Yan when she was pregnant with Nezha. After moving to NanDu, they enjoyed a comfortable life and had another child, who was the fourth child of Li Jing and Mrs. Yan, a girl.
These days, the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls is an objective reality. The couple felt it was unnecessary to choose a name so early, and now the parents are just calling her "Ying'er" or "Ying'er".
The child's birth did not involve the Golden Lotus descending, nor did it take nine months to gestate.
Among the children of this generation in Li's family, she is the most normal one.
Not as intelligent as Nezha, but still smarter than most children. At just two years old, she can recognize people.
Seeing Deng Chanyun dismount and flip over, the plump little girl bites her finger as if she pondered for a while: "Guogu?"
Deng Chanyu patted the little girl's head, "Auntie will give you some candy later, where's your mother?"
The little girl is dazed and confused, pointing randomly in a direction. Nezha twists his mouth, indicating that they should be in the hall.
Nezha was going to perform kick shuttlecock at the celebration.
Originally, he didn't want to participate, wanting to follow Li Jing to destroy various lake spirits and water monsters. Li Jing, upon learning the reason for the matter, knew that this was the festival of a saint's birthday, and that at that time the saint's gaze would be projected onto NanDu, immediately had a long talk with his son.
The water monsters and the like can be dealt with later; let them live a few more days. The celebration is the most important thing!
Li Jing patted his chest, indicating that he would perform dance sword at the celebration, while Mrs. Yan prepared a program similar to dragon boat racing.
Deng Chanyun came to the Li Mansion and looked at their game mode, thinking it was quite interesting. The winner or loser is not important. Her "Spring Festival Gala" is enough to be lively.
There were performances of various songs, dances, acrobatics, and cuju (kicking a ball with the feet). One must mention that cuju is also attributed to Emperor Huangdi; at least everyone says he invented it.
Deng Chanyun did not allow Huangdi to have all the glory in front of me. Are you calling me a fake time traveler?
She "invented" the arrow-throwing game, and the reason was that she claimed it was inspired while practicing her stone-throwing skills.
She also "invented" the iron flower forging. At night, performers stand on a platform six meters high and use flower sticks to forcefully throw molten, high-temperature iron into the sky. It forms a golden iron flower, spread out in a fan shape over ten meters high, slowly descending.
She came up with all sorts of activities that fit the era, such as guessing riddles, pulling on ropes, racing dragon boats, and dancing lions.
If the later generations were to apply for a UNESCO World Heritage Site, they would definitely find issues, because half of these inventions and innovations were invented by Huangdi Xuanxia, and the other half were invented by her Deng Chanyun! Their status in the world of invention is inseparable and can be considered as Zhu Buqun and Feng Zhuyu of the Prehistoric era!
Kunlun Mountains, Yu Xiu Palace.
Jiang Ziyu is panting and stepping up the mountain.
He didn't rest at all. He continuously used the earth escape and it took him three days and two nights to finally arrive at Kunlun Mountain.
Standing outside the Yu Xiu Palace, he tidied his sleeves, sweeping away the snow from the journey to ensure his attire was not disrespectful, while he also softly sighed.
His own cultivation has regressed.
Before he was a half-divine being. Now? Haha
When he first came down the mountain, he could use the stealth technique to return to Kunlun Mountain in a day and a night. Now, however, it takes him three days.
His body is aging at an unhurried pace. The internal energy, also known as the "inner landscape" in Daoist terminology, is constantly dissipating. He originally had 40 years of energy, but now he may have only 20 years left within his body.
What caused it? At first, he didn't know. Now, he is as clear as a mirror.
He dare not think about it, dare not ask, can only say that it is fate playing tricks on people.
Yu Yuan took away the Feng Sheng Bao Biao Jing with his Luo Bao Qian Jin, and he was originally in a panic, but he has now calmed down. In fact, he even has a vague idea that this might not be so bad! If Yu Yuan wants it, perhaps giving him the Feng Sheng Bao Bian would be enough. Then, could he not escape from fate?
He knew his thoughts were dangerous, and dared not show even the slightest hint of ease. Once again, a look of panic appeared on his face as he stepped into the Yu Xiu Palace.
In front of him was the White Crane Page.
"Uncle, Jiang Zhao pays his respects."
The White Crane saved him several times, and the old man's face was full of gratitude.
Even the saints cannot figure out the celestial mysteries, let alone the White Crane.
He slightly stunned, and immediately replied with respect: "I'm not aware, White Crane. What important matters does Jiang Zhao have to return to the Yu Xiu Palace?"
Jiang Ziyu timing it right, shows a hint of anxiety: "I don't know if the respected master is available?"
The White Crane shook his head: "Master has been in seclusion for many days. If it's not of great importance, the disciple truly dares not disturb."
"Without any important matters" is a polite expression, but in reality, in the saint's realm, unless the demonic ancestor Luo Hou has been reborn, there is no "important matter".
The Original Heaven Ancestor is in seclusion. Even someone like the General Cheng, such as the White Crane Page, wouldn't dare disturb at the gate, let alone him.
Jiang Ziyu is a bit embarrassed: "Isn't the South Pole Brother here?"
The White Crane shook his head again: "The Master has gone on a cloud tour and the return date is unknown."
With both the Original Heaven Ancestor and the South Pole Immortal, the two big shots not around, what should one do?
Jiang Ziyu had no choice. He bid farewell to the White Crane Page and came to the Jiu Hua Mountain, hoping to meet Guangchengzi.
When Ji Fa came before, Guangchengzi was already in seclusion, and now it is still in seclusion, with Huang Tianhua practicing Daoist arts in the cave.
Jiang Ziyu exchanged a few words with Huang Tianhua, learning that Guangchengzi had gained some insight and had been in seclusion for over a year.
Now if it were to disturb, it might affect Guangchengzi's path, almost like making a death enemy.
Jiang Ziyu expressed that he did not want to disturb Guangchengzi's brother, and would continue to seek other peers.
Standing at the foot of Mount Jiu Hua, he was momentarily filled with confusion, not knowing who he should turn to next.
Turning over and over, he finally made up his mind, there was only one last option left, time to move forward!
He used the earth escape technique and ran for two days, arriving at Lingji Mountain's Yuanjue Cave in the western region.
This was his first time at Lingji Mountain, and the dark peaks were barren, with not a single blade of grass. Looking around, the landscape was desolate. There was not a single living being in sight; it could be said that this place could be mistaken for the afterlife.
Jiang Ziyu was a bit vague. Could he have possibly wandered into the wrong place?
After wandering around in the mountains for two circles, he finally found the Yuanjue Cave.
Jiang Ziyu was lucky; Master Yandeng was not in seclusion or traveling, and was now in his cave, divining where his path to enlightenment's artifact might be.
Long before the War of Witchcraft and Demons, he had slain the evil corpse, but until now, he had not found the opportunity to cut another one. He always felt that something was missing.
