Jiang Ziya was surprised to find such an opportunity at the Saint's place of practice, and he respectfully saluted and thanked them. The chubby, round Xiao, unable to speak, also reciprocated with a solemn gesture. After seeing off Old Jiang, it continued to learn on the tree.
"Qingluan led the two people to see Nuwa."
She instantly spotted the Old Dragon Qiu and the look on her face had a hint of mockery.
"Oh, isn't this the Grand Elder Qiu Long whose martial arts are unparalleled? Where are you coming from, Grand Elder, and where are you heading?" Qingluan behaves as gentle as water in the presence of Nuwa and Deng Canyu, playing the role of a big housekeeper or an older sister. However, as someone who has experienced the early disaster of dragons and phoenixes, she also has her own ups and downs.
Without mentioning Nuwa, she can get angry. The current Old Dragon Qiu Long is clearly unrelated to Nuwa.
The White Crane is ultimately a junior, with a low sense of belonging to the birds. Qingluan is different; she is the leader who has been fighting against the dragons under the banner of the Phoenix race for tens of thousands of years, leading her clan.
Upon seeing the stern-faced Elder Qiu Long, she couldn't help but open her mouth to mock him.
The Elder Qiu Long felt a headache in his brain, how could he always encounter the evil Phoenix tribe everywhere?
Qingluan and he are roughly the same generation, fighting each other hundreds of times on the chaotic battlefield years ago. They know each other so well that they could recognize each other even if they turn into ashes.
He squinted his eyes, said nothing, and just followed inside.
Qingluan was pressing on him relentlessly, saying to Jiang Ziya, "Kind friend, please be careful of the Dragon Clan Grand Elder beside you. This elder is a bloodthirsty maniac who kills young children with a single swipe at four or five years old and tears them apart without any mercy."
Jiang Ziya had just experienced a great calamity in the human world. To say that the Zhou army was disciplined and did not violate any laws, that would be nonsense. The soldiers below had done many things such as slaughtering villages and towns to vent the accumulated anger and pressure between life and death.
He listened silently, but Elder Qiu Long could no longer hold back: "My nephew wasn't blinded by you and then his tendons and skin were stripped away, and he died under the sun for forty-nine days? You are good people now?"
"The descendants I had on Mount Cui Xia in the past"
"My three disciples, the old man"
Both sides revealed their dark secrets, and even though Qingluan remained silent once she entered the main hall, Elder Qiu Long was still furious. However, as dragons must bow under the eaves, he followed Old Jiang and bowed deeply to Nuwa.
Deng Canyu had changed into her clothes and was sitting beside Nuwa.
Nuwa, aware of the answer but still asked, "What brings you to bring these two people here?"
Deng Canyu tied her hair up, a phoenix hairpin passing through the hair, a lotus-shaped floral ornament set between her brows. She had changed into a red palace dress, revealing her swan-like neck and collarbone. Her fair skin contrasted with crescent-shaped earrings, making her look resplendent and dazzling.
If, during her time at the Yu Xiu Palace, she was a piece of Hetian jade, soft on the outside and hard within, like the essence of celestial and terrestrial virtues, then in the Palace of Nuwa, she transformed into a piece of Dongshan jade. From inside to out, it exuded an extraordinary elegance and solitude.
The Elder Qiu Long furrowed his brow, is this the same person who deceived me about the magical materials before? I wouldn't have encountered a scammer before, would I?
Fortunately, Deng Canyu still has a strong sense of contractual spirit and doesn't pretend to not recognize her.
She said, "Teacher, these two have come at the behest of the Emperor of Heaven to invite Teacher to repair the heavens over the East Sea."
She seemed to be casually waving her hand, and Lao Ji quickly repeated the explanation he had given in the Yu Xiu Palace.
Yunxiao, seeing that the goals of the two were the same as hers, also followed up with persuasion.
Nuwa remained unmoved and asked, "Canyu, what do you think?"
How do I see it? I'll stand and look! Deng Canyu is very suspicious that Nuwa has learned too many jokes from herself, otherwise she wouldn't ask such a question.
"Reporting to the teacher, the damage in the East Sea is actually not very large, just an itchy skin disease, so it's not urgent. The most important task now is to find the ancestral dragon and have it re-seal the sea eye."
Since it was in the Palace of Nuwa and in the presence of Yunxiao, she didn't say any of that nonsense like "The most pressing task is to find the key issue. So, what is the key issue? It's to find the key to the issue."
Hearing her say that repairing the heavens was unimportant, the Elder Qiu Long, who had already incurred great costs, was about to refute her. However, upon hearing about the ancestral dragon, he withdrew his objection. Now there were several different opinions within the dragon clan. One thing that everyone knew but none dared to mention was probably that the ancestral dragon had run away under the cover of Zhu Long, leaving behind his countless offspring and grandchildren and running off as far as chaos. He wasn't planning to return until he reached Chaoyan Da Lao.
This matter has its pros and cons. The advantage is that the dragon race still has hope. If the ancestral dragon returns to the Primordial Chaos with the might of a great immortal, the dragon race can rise again, at least that's what they believe.
The disadvantage is that now, it is impossible for Duo Bao Dao Zhe to keep the sea eye blocked up forever. Eventually, it will have to be handed over to them. If they want to block the sea eye, the sacrifice will be great. Only those who can hold out for ten or twelve weeks can be considered strong. If they use such strong people to block the sea eye, it may happen that before the ancestral dragon returns, all the dragon race in the Primordial Chaos will be swallowed up by the sea.
Hearing Deng Canyu mention the ancestral dragon, the contradictory him just kept silent.
Yunxiao asked, "Deng Canyu, you make a valid point. But where should we look for the ancestral dragon?"
Deng Canyu smiled and looked at the Elder Qiu Long: "Then it would be up to the dragon race."
The Elder Qiu Long shook his head repeatedly: "Saints with wisdom, the dragon race indeed does not know the whereabouts of Ancestral Dragon Lord. We are also searching for him, but there are no traces at all."
Deng Canyu has been somewhat influenced by the moonlight, and now she likes to tell stories and give reasons to others at any opportunity.
"Let me tell a story to the Elder."
"Oh?"
"Once upon a time, there was a wealthy man who heard that fugu (pufferfish) was delicious but poisonous. So he prepared fugu and made his dog eat it first. After half a day, the dog was fine, so he happily ate it with his family. Halfway through, his servant ran in and said, 'Master, it's all wrong, the dog is dead.' The wealthy man was scared and quickly ate dirt to induce vomiting. After throwing up everything, he asked the servant, 'How terrible did the dog die?' The servant said, 'Terrible! The whole dog was flattened by a carriage passing over it.'"
"Ha ha ha——" Qiongxiu's laughter echoed in the hall. Yunxiao looked at her angrily, and she quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head.
In fact, Nuwa also wanted to laugh, but Deng Canyu and Qingluan were staring at her. Her mouth twitched slightly, but she finally managed to suppress it.
The Elder Qiu Long was not at all amused. He looked at Deng Canyu, "What does the immortal mean by this?"
Deng Canyu said, "The actual situation is that you've imagined too much, thinking too complicatedly, and have not truly understood the heart of the matter. Therefore, you have rashly made judgments."
"Where is the ancestral dragon lord now?"
"I don't know, but someone must know."
"Who?"
"Yuanfeng." Deng Canyu looked at the Elder Qiu Long, half smiling and half serious: "Elder Qiu Long, would you like to accompany me to meet Yuanfeng? Don't worry, she has been eating well recently and doesn't eat dragons."
