With the blue sky as their nature, Deng Chanyu could play both the refined and the common, and their duet made Qiongxiao on the side burst into laughter. The female disciples who were still in class in the distance watched them. Lishan Lao Mu waved her hand continuously, indicating that they should not bring shame to their elders and quickly come in.
Bixiao made a grand bow, "Young Uncle, please!"
Deng Chanyu answered with color, "Uncle (Datailing) should precede (Dazhigong)!"
Bixiao has a high talent in eating, drinking, entertainment, and fun. She immediately understood her pun and laughed so hard that her front teeth were exposed.
This time, even Lishan Lao Mu almost burst into laughter. She imagined the bitter face of the Dazhi Buddha, and couldn't help but laugh. Afraid of losing her dignity in front of the disciples, she quickly tilted her head to the side.
A few people entered the main hall. Lishan Lao Mu first had the many female disciples who had completed their morning lessons bow to the senior sister. The senior sister immediately encouraged the younger sisters a few words, then followed Lishan Lao Mu into the inner hall.
Qiongxiao and Bixiao didn't consider themselves outsiders at all, so they followed them in.
Deng Chanyu didn't avoid them. This time, the topic to be discussed was about "civil engineering," which was very professional. Based on her understanding of the two of them, hearing for fifteen minutes would be showing them respect.
In fact, Qiongxiao had already been daydreaming since early on, sitting straight and actually asleep. Bixiao tried hard to stay awake, wanting to know what she discovered deep in the mountains of Wu Zhu. However, she kept avoiding the topic, making Bixiao's patience very tested.
"So, A Yue, just say it. What have you really discovered?" Bixiao was really impatient with all the preamble and bluntly asked for the answer.
Deng Chanyu looked at Lishan Lao Mu, who smiled but did not speak. She then spoke cautiously, "The people of the Yu Gong clan saw the Milky Way, some saw their families. What I saw was a rope. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a plumb line."
Qiongxiao: Zzzz
Bixiao: "????"
What is that even about? I must have read too little; I have no idea what's being said.
Lishan Lao Mu's expression changed as she asked, "Really? How could a plumb line be found in the mountains of Wu Zhu?"
Deng Chanyu was also puzzled: "I'm not sure either. I even suspect that the thick pressure of Wu Zhu Mountain caused me to have hallucinations."
Bixiao interrupted her, "Hold on! Stop! Young Uncle, your great-nephew doesn't understand. Please explain quickly! What is a plumb line?"
According to Deng Chanyu's thoughts, you should not interfere in the dialogue of professionals in civil engineering. However, Bixiao was full of energy and her eyes shone brightly, eagerly waiting for her explanation.
"Alright, this story has a long beginning"
"Then let's cut to the chase!"
Deng Chanyu felt that this concise explanation might not be clear enough, so she would try to simplify the content: "In the past, when Pangu opened up the sky and earth, pure qi rose to form the sky, while impure qi descended to form the earth."
Bixiao nodded, and she knew this. If forced to boast, they were a part of the pure qi that formed them.
The true pure qi became the sky and evolved into the later Tao of Heaven. Their sisters lacked spiritual power and couldn't ascend that high, so they turned into clouds.
"Deng Chanyu continued, "Pangu used his own body to prop open the sky and the earth, which is why we have the current Huang Huang world now."
"Yes yes, I know that too. Let's talk about something I don't know."
"There are many things you don't know, especially before Pangu was about to fall. He noticed that the separation between the sky and the earth was a bit too wide, and if not restrained, they might eventually separate completely, causing the destruction of Huang Huang."
Bixiao widened her eyes in surprise. "Is that so? I didn't know about this at all. Please tell me more. How did the great Pangu solve this problem?"
"At that time, there were no four pillar mountains. Great Pangu tied one rope to each corner of the earth, and with the rope's tugging, the separation of heaven and earth would not be too extreme even if they were to part ways. This allowed Huang Huang to continue. The four ropes were the plumb line. However, before Yin-Shen and Yang-Shen appeared, the plumb lines disappeared because the stability of Huang Huang had been achieved and no longer needed them. Huang Huang should not be confined by four ropes; it should instead be expanded even further and more vast."
Bixiao racked her brain, "So you're saying?"
"My point is that the era of the plumb line predates the existence of the mountains of Wu Zhu. It shouldn't be that there's a plumb line left in the mountains of Wu Zhu."
The Yin-Shen and Yang-Shen, who were the Heavenly Parents and Earthly Mothers, were all eliminated with the upgrade and iteration of the most ancient Huang Huang. The plumb line that was even older than them should not exist anymore.
It's not that the older something is, the better it is. If something doesn't suit the times, it should be discarded.
Deng Chanyu suspected that she might have seen it wrong and hoped to get an answer from Lishan Lao Mu.
The elderly woman shook her head gently and said, "When you, yourself, supplemented the sky, there were no plumb lines in the world. Now that the plumb line has reappeared and been seen by you, I feel that it is a blessing rather than a curse."
Deng Chanyu is now the leading figure in Huang Huang's civil engineering field. The plumb line is undoubtedly a treasure in the field of construction. Now that she has seen it, according to Lishan Lao Mu's guess, it should be a warning, not coming from the Tao of Hongjun, but from Pan Gu who had already fallen.
"Teacher, do you think Huang Huang will face a great disaster?"
"It's hard to say, but completing the repair of Wu Zhu Mountain as soon as possible and restoring the original function of the heavenly pillar should be a correct path."
They master and apprentice began to talk about repairing the Wu Zhu Mountain again, chatting with great enthusiasm. Lishan Lao Mu kept saying that she had successors, and the old lady was very happy. Bixiao yawned several times in a row and finally tilted her head to the side and fell asleep.
Returning to the Wu Zhu Mountain, Deng Chanyu wanted to see the plumb line again, but she couldn't find the channel that went deep into the ground. The rock wall was bare, and when she struck it with a hammer repeatedly, all she heard was the dull sound of the hammer hitting the stone.
Asking Zhou and the contemporary Yu Gong, both of them found Deng Chanyu's question strange. We have been working here and have never left the encampment. We've never even been to any mountain pass or cave.
"Senior master, we have explored the surrounding Wu Zhu Mountain dozens of times. There should be no hidden passageways, right?" The contemporary Yu Gong repeated the thought in his mind but couldn't figure out where she was referring to when she mentioned the mountain passageway.
"Perhaps I made a mistake, you all continue with your work." Deng Chanyu didn't pursue the issue any further. Altered memories and altered reality were not new things, and she was capable of doing so as well.
Whether this was a reminder from Pangu or not, she has accelerated the reconstruction of Wu Zhu Mountain.
The response from all parties is welcome!
Hao Tian hopes that she completes the reconstruction of the mountain as soon as possible and then comes to repair the Heavenly Court.
Taiyang Laozun believes that this is a task assigned by Hongjun, and the earlier it is completed, the better.
Various heavenly treasures, earthly treasures, and elixirs are continuously delivered to Wu Zhu Mountain, greatly accelerating the reconstruction process. Originally estimated to take one hundred and fifty years of work, it is now estimated that it will be completed within one hundred years.
