Deng Chanyu bathed and changed clothes, lighting up sandalwood incense.
After washing the palm of the hand, the back, fingertips, and fingertip creases twice carefully, I sat up straight and felt inspired. I brewed my emotions for a while and quickly picked up my brush to start writing with "Heaven's law is to subtract excess and supplement what's lacking" as the first sentence.
Then I realized that was incorrect; that is a direct quote from the Tao Te Ching.
In fact, she had heard parts of these teachings from Qingniu the Green Cow, but it's not a technique and she can talk about it freely, as long as she doesn't write it down.
Her previously abundant emotions were interrupted, and she had to re-mull them over. Just as she was writing the first sentence on the paper, which was "The first auspicious sign, Qian, represents the sky", she received messages in real-time from Phoenix passed from Guixu over there. She also started to ponder over it.
Hearing rumors about Guixu is quite different from actually seeing Guixu with one's own eyes.
In Phoenix's perspective, that is an unimaginable amount of sea water pouring into the bottomless black hole of Guixu at an exaggerated speed. Where did all that water go? It's impossible to know, at least not from this perspective.
The Five Elements of the primordial era are equal. With so much sea water disappearing into thin air, the water element will constantly transform chaos essence into new sea water. The flow is crucial in this process.
This flow is actually not healthy; even the Tao of Heaven can't do math problems every day, can it? Hongjun the Elder always holds a pen and calculates the problem of adding water and draining water? Maybe one day there will be a little more, and another day a little less.
These small deviations, when accumulated over time, will eventually become astronomical numbers.
The best solution is still to fix it.
From the time Di Jun defeated the Eastern Emperor and penetrated the bottom of the sea to today, how many eons have passed? Can Hongjun and all the saints turn a blind eye to that?
Deng Chanyu was a little puzzled. Could it be that Hongjun is waiting for them to repair the leak in Guixu?
If not knowing about such things is better, then at least after knowing, some action needs to be taken.
As the saying goes, "When there's something to be done, a student should take on the labor." From both a moral and rational standpoint, and in terms of public or private duty, she, as a professional who specializes in dealing with the unworldly, should first go and take a look.
Closing the manuscript she just wrote, changing into a new set of clothes and putting on shoes, she said goodbye to Zhao Ji to go and take a look.
"My dear concubine, I am going out for a while."
Daji was still washing the vegetables: "Are you not coming back for dinner?"
"I will try my best to come back, but I can't say for sure. Okay, okay."
Deng Chanyu waved her hand. Jiazi loved those colorful mushrooms and vibrant morning glory flowers very much. To be fair, they were quite delicious, but easy to cause hallucinations and too bland in taste. She believed that it was perfectly reasonable for her to go to Long Palace to have a meal first, and then investigate Guixu's situation. The emperor could still feed soldiers who were hungry, and Hongjun would not mind losing some time for her meal, even though he had waited countless eons for the repair of Guixu's leak.
She arrived at the Dragon Palace again.
Ao Guang: "?????"
Who was that Water Virtue True Lord wearing a waistcoat who just took away 30,000 elite warriors from me? Have I eaten too many mushrooms and am experiencing hallucinations?
Mengzhang, the Dragon God, advised him to try his best to fulfill Deng Chanyu's requests. Now that Deng had arrived at Dragon Palace just in time for dinner, he couldn't turn her away. Come on in, please! There's a seat available inside for you.
He ate for another hour, after which he wouldn't need to eat for the next ten to fifteen days.
Deng Chanyu left the Dragon Palace and continued eastward, flying for most of the day in the vast sea before finally entering Guixu.
In the past, the distance between the five fairy mountains was more than seven hundred thousand miles, and the scope of Guixu far exceeded this. There were endless dark seas all around. Compared to the damage done to Pan Gu's world, which could be said to have a hole in a paper window, Guixu was more like having a door and paper window both kicked down with one foot.
