The Dragon King said, "Let go of my wife, and I will follow you."
Deng Chanyu shook her head slowly: "First, come with me. Once we reach the Qilin Cliff, I will naturally release your wife. The Qilin will not harm her, and I think you should be very clear about this."
The Dragon hesitated for a moment, biting his lower canine teeth: "Alright, I agree with you. You also remember your promise."
Deng Chanyu nodded very quickly, and the Qilin only mentioned the stupid dragon who had seduced his daughter, without mentioning his own daughter. She didn't care about the specific story in between, as long as it was a transaction.
Bring this dragon to the Qilin Cliff and hand it over to the original Qilin. The previous cause and effect of Nan Ming's Fiery Fire will come to an end.
Nezha looked dejectedly and thought to himself, "I even pulled out my spear, but the battle was over in two moves? I didn't even see what happened. My teacher's battle wasn't very thrilling, it's not exciting at all!"
Deng Chanyu directly used the divine power of "Sleeve Space-Time" to collect the imprisoned Qilin, and only then did he have time to survey the vast underground palace.
Where is the "Pick-up Code"? What does it look like? This thing doesn't have any hints either.
The Dragon was in disguise as a sheep for far too long, and now he was in a very bad mood, not bothering to pay attention to her. He went off by himself to graze. Deng Chanyu, with Nezha and three big Lolitas, was strolling around the heavenly city.
This underground world does not communicate with the outside world. It relies on nine celestial cities as the nine pivots of the underground world, providing a means of self-sufficiency. The internal planting of divine rice and divine herbs allows for self-sustenance. This was originally chosen by the Dragon King and the Qilin couple as a place to escape from the first reincarnation of the dragon and phoenix, and later it absorbed many other immortals, gradually forming its current scale.
"So, what is this 'pick-up code' actually? Is it something that I can show by shedding my blood, or is it something else, or just information like 'finding a dragon to divide gold and look at the winding mountains; one winding mountain is one level of difficulty' that requires observing the geological features to reveal the information? I've walked around here for a while, but I haven't seen anything special!"
Deng Chanyu is complaining to her two doubles.
Even the strongest boss in the heavenly city, the Dragon King and Qilin, are not her opponents. The dispersed immortals who came to avoid battle don't even stand a chance, and Nezha alone can crush them.
The aftereffects of the previous battle were seen by some immortals in several celestial cities, and they were terrified. They dared never to appear in public again.
Deng Chanyu and the others are waving their arms inside the celestial city, searching for clues. Many dispersed immortals are tightly shutting their doors, not daring to make a sound at home, making Deng Chanyu and the others look like villains.
If we can find some crucial information, it would be fine. However, the problem is that we haven't found any.
The phoenix said, "I'll go check Mr. Lao Lao's 'social circle' again; maybe there will be new information there."
After a moment, she looked a bit disappointed, "There is only one 'lu' character visible in the information from Mr. Lu last time."
Deng Chanyu thought for a moment: "You know, Guangyue, why not come back and recite some sutras? Who knows, you might be able to call out a ghost of an old man with a white beard who gives us the 'pick-up code' while you're reciting."
Moonlight sniffed disdainfully: "I'm not going. I've checked before, there are no ghosts at all, it's very clean. What sutras are you reciting? I'm not going!"
"Teacher, what are we really looking for?" Nezha asked, looking up.
Wandering aimlessly is really bothering him. The three big Lolitas were eating something that looked like cotton candy on the side, and they didn't seem to have any objections. Qiongqi has complaints but dare not speak up, which can be understood as no objections.
Deng Chanyu didn't know what to say.
Deng Chanyu pondered for a moment and said, "Call out all the immortals in these nine celestial cities, I have some questions for them."
Nezha, used to being lawless, didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He stretched his throat and shouted, "Old villagers, come out!"
His voice echoed through the underground city, causing great unease among the immortals. A pot of tea later, the Dragon King, still in the form of a goat, appeared silently beside them.
"I know what you're looking for, as long as it doesn't disturb our peace here, I'll tell you."
He didn't want to say any unnecessary words and directly proposed a transaction.
Deng Chanyu nearly didn't think twice. Reporting these disengaged and war-avoiding immortals would do her no good. The Taiyun would never make the Phoenix an Empress of the Purple Heaven just because of this.
"Alright, I agree. The numerous immortals in the Nine Pavilions can continue to hide here."
The Dragon King stared at her for a moment before saying, "Fine, come with me."
The Dragon King slowly walked in front, and Nezha kept urging him, but he didn't hurry. He walked at the same speed as a regular mountain goat, making Nezha so angry that he wanted to use the Heavenly Ball to hit him.
After walking for about two days, the Dragon King pointed ahead and said, "About half a year ago, that thing fell from the sky. It should be what you're looking for."
Nezha was taken aback for a moment, ran over to examine it closely, and then touched it with his hand: "This? This is just a piece of broken bamboo. What's the secret in this?"
The Dragon King shrugged casually and said, "I don't know about that. If there is anything abnormal, it's only this place that's abnormal."
Deng Chanyu also went over to take a look. There was some essence inside the bamboo, all of which was red, and there was a trace of sorrow within it. What else was special?
A piece of bamboo can't explain much, can it? Is Mount Emei's iron-eating beast looking for new food flavors? She really wants to grab Hongjun's collar, Old guy, where's the PrimordialPurple Qi I wanted!!!
She furrowed her brow and pondered, "This clue should refer to the origin of the bamboo. Who has seen this kind of bamboo in the Primordial Era?"
She asked the few people beside her.
Nezha rolled his eyes, realizing that this question had hit a blind spot in his knowledge.
Xiao Qingluan was quite domesticated, and she walked over with a familiar attitude. She examined it for a while, making a list with her fingers: "It's not bamboo from the East Sea, not bamboo from the South Sea, not bamboo from the West Sea, not bamboo from the North Sea, and it's definitely not bamboo from Mount Emei."
By the end, she laughed dryly twice and said, "Little Uncle Master, I also don't know."
Deng Chanyu felt like her head was splitting, and she had to resort to the simplest method.
She used the phoenix wood to pass this piece of bamboo to the Phoenix and asked the bear in heaven to help identify it. Over the past few years, there hasn't been much for them to do in heaven, so Old Bear, full of regret for Yu the Yellow Emperor, has wandered across the Primordial Land and tried various flavors of bamboo.
Not long after, the Phoenix sent a message over: "Old Bear says this thing is called 'Bamboo with Spots'. In ancient times, Emperor Shun died on Mount Jiuyi, and Empress Heliang and Princess Nüying worked hard to find their husband's tomb. After finding it, they cried beside the bamboo grove for nine days and nights. Eventually, they cried blood tears, and the local bamboo turned into this after being contaminated by their tears. Old Bear says this bamboo is not very tasty; it's bitter and astringent and is not recommended for planting."
Deng Chanyu ignored the last sentence and nodded, "Okay, finding new clues is much easier."
This clue should point to Jiyi Mountain and Emperor Shen, right? It can't be Nühuan or Nüying, right? Only by marrying two wives and surviving can one obtain the Fēnbǎo Rock? Hongjun, the Old Ascended, should not be so bored.
