Chapter 786
The long steps were translucent, white smoke rolled, and there was faint tinkling music in the small pavilion at the edge of the sky. One could see a row of jade chimes placed on the side of the inner hall. Two female attendants were playing music, their long robes dragging on the ground, hiding in the white air. In front was a long desk. A woman wearing a tea-white neon dress was holding her chin with one hand and writing with a pen in the other, clear and dusty. A pipa was placed by the desk, faintly reflecting brilliance.
Shao Yu had been on duty at the edge of the sky for many years. Immortal traces were rare here. Even the female attendants in these pavilions were spirits sent by the Taiyin Mansion, unable to speak, only able to do some simple work, and able to knock on the chimes after remembering the beat.
Only she had to manage eight courtyard pavilions. The four courtyards around were some strongmen and petty officials. The immortal officials of three of the four immortal pavilions had been sent out. Usually, they didn't bother her.
Shao Yu was also happy to be idle. She was able to endure quiet cultivation. The immortal officials in these courtyard pavilions were not her direct subordinates. After all, it was someone else's territory. Zhengao found her a quiet place, so she naturally didn't intervene often. Only the immortal official of the remaining immortal pavilion saw her occasionally, and his words were endless.
The pen in her hand paused. This book of Shaoyin magic had been completed by seventy percent. She put down the pen and looked at a maid who came in from below. She knelt down in the middle and said respectfully: "Reporting to my lord, Dangjiang has come."
Shao Yu frowned slightly, appearing somewhat helpless. Calculating the days, it was exactly thirty days. The person came exactly on time, so she had to nod: "Please invite him up."
The maid retreated. Soon, a person walked from outside the pavilion. He was in the appearance of a young man, with a broad forehead and lush beard and hair. He shook his sleeves with wave patterns and bowed: "Xuan Qi Pavilion Proofreading Liu Xianguan, Dangjiang, pays respects to Lord Shaoyin Wugui."
"You are here again."
Shao Yu had a dark white round pattern between her brows, and her eyes looked somewhat sleepy as she looked over, replying:
"You person, you don't stay in the east to proofread classics and correct errors properly, why do you come to me every time... What is it this time?"
Dangjiang had long figured out Shao Yu's temper these days. Her mouth was blaming, which meant she was just complaining, but she didn't really mean to punish him. Besides not liking to talk, she was considered a top-notch superior. He was in high spirits again, only replying:
"If I were really proofreading, it would be fine. The lord also knows that I am a person who can't stay idle. I only proofread but don't correct, and I'm afraid of making mistakes in the exercises, so I'm full of worry..."
The two proofread against each other. Dangjiang was nothing more than seeking a companion. Shao Yu knew that he would definitely complain about being bored, so she didn't pull east and west with him, only saying:
"If you have something to say, say it."
Dangjiang then took out a token from his sleeve. It was the length of a forearm, pure white all over, naturally painted with silver-white Taiyin patterns, and was shining. He offered it with both hands and said respectfully:
"There is a task at hand, please ask the lord to take me for a ride!"
Shao Yu raised her eyebrows and finally stood up, hugged the pipa on the desk into her arms, and flew down from above gracefully, saying casually:
"After so long, there is finally a serious matter."
"Hehe."
Dangjiang laughed and opened his mouth hesitantly:
"That subordinate of mine in the human world... although far inferior to me, still has some ability. At the end of the year, he communicated with me once, saying that this time he can catch a peacock! And it is not an ordinary peacock. I heard... it is practicing the magic of that Western Release Soil... I don't know how much merit this one is, and how it compares to the demon object last time..."
Shao Yu's feet rose with tea-white clouds, lifting him up, and they flew south together, saying softly: "That subordinate of yours... what is his name, Chi Buzi? Last time he caught a demon object, how much merit was recorded in the mansion?"
Dangjiang hurriedly said:
"Three hundred immortal merits."
"Oh?"
Shao Yu nodded lightly and replied: "This peacock might be around three hundred and fifty immortal merits."
Dangjiang hurriedly raised his head. He had been living happily these days, but he remembered in his heart that he had promised Chi Buzi to seek the Golden Core Great Dao for him, and had been holding it in his heart, waiting to ask Lord Liu.
As a result, Lord Liu went and never returned, and the so-called connections fell through. The fire burned to his eyebrows, and Dangjiang could only ask Shao Yu, hesitating:
"My subordinate practices the Zifu Golden Core Dao, self-cultivating and self-natured, and has already crossed the Canzi, but he is missing the last lineage. But that Lu Shui fruit position in the human world already has someone..."
Shao Yu reacted quickly and immediately had some speculations, asking:
"If there is someone, there is someone... I'm afraid that the one in the fruit position is unwilling to let him attain the Dao, then it will be difficult to handle. Why not take the Golden Nature first... What is the state of that Lu Shui?"
Dangjiang shook his head: "The state is not good, he has reached the fight outside the sky, and has no time to take care of it. I am anxious precisely because of this. Whether it is to seek the last 'Washing Robbery Dew', or Taiyin pointing, or not taking this path, I have to make a decision. If I wait for that True Lord to come back, there will not be many paths to choose from."
"So that's how it is."
Shao Yu was quite interested. Although she was a demon object in the early Zifu period, she retained the influence of many immortal methods in her memory, but solving this matter was still difficult. She asked: "Since it is your subordinate, why not ask Zhengao? Although the Lu Shui is in the human world, there might be immortal generals of this path in the sky, so you can also inquire."
"The subordinate also wants to!"
Dangjiang couldn't go far at all. He couldn't see a person's shadow for ten days and a half months. He couldn't even change the two strongmen in the courtyard into maids, let alone inquire about anything.
'Chi dog, ah Chi dog... your path to cultivation is really a dead end.'
Shao Yu clearly understood, paused, and replied:
"Just ask Zhengao to meet once and ask for advice properly. Although it costs a lot... but Zhengao is cold on the outside and warm on the inside, and his Dao practice is high, so he won't make things difficult for you."
"But... the small person is humble... from what path to seek the lord..."
Dangjiang asked this, and Shao Yu nodded: "I am also going to the Taiyin Mansion this time. Since you asked, let's go together."
Having obtained the path, Dangjiang was overjoyed. While full of gratitude, he waited on the clouds. That vast and broad hall appeared again, and twelve white jade bridges rose into the sky, spanning the golden lake.
This section Shao Yu also came down from the clouds and gradually deepened into the hall together. They arrived outside the courtyard. Dangjiang saw the two maids standing outside the courtyard from afar. The white-edged jade pipa held in their arms last time had been changed to a clean cloud jade bottle, and the other was still carrying a flower basket. Seeing him look over, they even returned the salute quite politely.
'......'
He walked to the front of the courtyard, looking straight ahead. Shao Yu behind him stopped. Dangjiang scanned with his peripheral vision. This time, the flower basket of the maid next to him was a small fruit that was bright and crystal clear. One look and one knew it was goods that would make people bankrupt.
Fearing that Shao Yu would recall that he still owed her a 【Moon Laurel Golden Branch】, Dangjiang almost fled into the courtyard. The four lamp stands in the courtyard were shining brightly, and the round pool in the middle had transformed into a white and translucent color. He hurriedly pinched the formula to sacrifice the token.
"Strike!"
The green-robed man appeared from the pool. Dangjiang was still absent-minded. Chi Buzi stepped out of the pool, scanned the surroundings, found that the stupid donkey was in a daze by the pool, and frowned: "What madness are you having."
Dangjiang laughed in anger, shook his head and said: "You suddenly wanted some companion items last time, you have to compensate me!"
Dangjiang had suffered this big loss and had always been brooding over it. He had told him about it two years ago. Chi Buzi took it as a joke and still laughed now, replying: "Should."
He didn't come here to argue with Dangjiang. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party didn't make a move, he immediately frowned: "I caught that peacock for you, do you have any news on your end?"
Dangjiang raised his eyebrows and looked. Chi Buzi was not only unscathed, but his momentum was magnificent. This time, it seemed that he hadn't consumed much magic power. He was actually quite impressed in his heart, but his mouth was harder than anyone else: "Just relying on the little things you caught before... the efficiency is not too low... These one or two demon objects are all small figures in Zifu. You don't even pee to see yourself, but you are urging me for news all day long?"
Chi Buzi sneered and replied:
"Forget it! Just looking at your appearance of empty-handed white wolf, I am looking up to you by catching another one for you. Is there any news after all? What connections? Don't tell me you are bragging."
This sentence made Dangjiang anxious, and he scolded: "You person who doesn't know good people, do you know how I have been planning and maneuvering these past few years, turning around human feelings? That was night after night without sleep, how much I spent on my own... just to exchange for a chance for you to meet the immortal general. You are good..."
Chi Buzi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, surprised: "Meet the immortal general?"
To say how well this stupid donkey planned, Chi Buzi didn't believe it at all. When he communicated with him two years ago, he was vague, obviously having no grasp at all. It was clear that he had no progress. Now that he said he was planning and maneuvering, it was clear that he had walked some dog shit luck and completed the matter.
'As long as it can be done... it is a good thing. Let's see what immortal general it is... and I have to praise the stupid donkey.'
Chi Buzi showed a look of surprise, pretending to be unconvinced, and thanked him a few times. Dangjiang laughed, proud and very proud. After chatting for a while, this guy seemed to suddenly remember something and said broodingly:
"Have you found Lord Li?"
This matter was also something Dangjiang had explained to him early on, but this matter was not like the Golden Core lineage which had a definite landing. Chi Buzi was also much more powerful than Dangjiang, laughing:
"What if I find him? What if I don't? Do I have to tell him about the reincarnation? If I delay the arrangement above, will I be punished or will you be punished?"
This sentence blocked Dangjiang completely. But he really didn't want to be a cow or a horse every day. He sighed for a long time and replied: "In short... you look for him. If he has memories, ask for me."
This was purely farting for Chi Buzi, but he kept this news firmly in his heart: Which family did he first contact 【Heaven】 and Dangjiang through? Wangyue Li family! What kind of place is Wangyue Lake? It is the place where the Moon Radiance Mansion established its foothold in those years...
This 【Heaven】 is everywhere related to Taiyin. Although it has no similarity with the 【Donghua Heaven】 of the Moon Radiance Mansion recorded, it is inseparable from it anyway! If this so-called Lord Li received an order and reincarnated with his original surname, Chi Buzi's first reaction was that Donghua True Person Li Jiangqun! This Donghua True Person is really too similar... possessing extraordinary magic techniques, amazing sword intent and cultivation, and bearing the name of the Moon Radiance Mansion. How deep is the water here? Although the Chi family was an eyewitness, Chi Buzi didn't get the news because of the Golden Core not being written, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to explore the reason! He fooled the other party with one sentence, and Dangjiang raised his chin, quite proudly: "First take you to see my current superior, the immortal lady of the Shaoyin Wugui position. You should collect your earthy taste, don't dirty the immortal Qi of others."
Chi Buzi couldn't wait to see more people. He followed out of the courtyard. Dangjiang took out the token from his sleeve and put it into Chi Buzi's hand, saying: "You don't have immortal registration, so you must hold this order. There are many big figures on the road, so don't look around."
This was beyond Chi Buzi's expectations. According to reason, Yingze hadn't appeared for so many years, and he didn't even care about the Mirage Cave Heaven of the Qing Song Temple. There should be fewer great cultivators in this place, otherwise, he wouldn't need to send Dangjiang, this stupid donkey, to receive himself.
He hesitated slightly, and finally followed out of the courtyard. Sure enough, he saw the woman wearing a tea-white neon dress waiting outside the courtyard, holding a pipa, with a dark white round pattern between her brows, looking over.
"I have seen Lord Shaoyin Wugui!"
Chi Buzi saluted, and immediately had a realization in his heart: "A Shaoyin great cultivator, also possessing supernatural powers, I am afraid it is the peak of Zifu......"
Shao Yu in front of him was slightly stunned, and wondered in her heart: "Strange... why the more I look at him, the more unpleasant I feel. This person's appearance is not that annoying..."
She didn't show anything on the surface, scanned, and walked away. Dangjiang hurriedly followed. Chi Buzi walked at the end. Although the two rows of heavenly soldiers outside were solemn and majestic, this green-robed man didn't look much, but looked at the cultivators instead.
'No matter how solemn and majestic the guards are, they may be puppets, or some supernatural power...'
He walked all the way, and many cultivators stopped to pay attention. Several high-status ones even greeted Shao Yu. Chi Buzi scanned lightly, thinking:
"Stupid donkey is swollen and fat... no one pays attention to him..."
Several people arrived at the high platform with bright and clean, painted bright moon patterns. Cold snow flew, and spiritual water surrounded. After waiting on the platform for a while, the handsome silver-armored immortal general shuttled over. Shao Yu laughed: "Fellow Daoist Zhengao!"
Zhengao raised his eyebrows and looked, nodded and replied: "Shao Yu is here......"
The two chatted slightly. Shao Yu was clearly not a person who flattered, and hurriedly changed the subject, saying: "In those years, fellow Daoist handed Dangjiang to me. Especially there are some small problems to ask fellow Daoist. One is to fulfill the responsibility of this superior, and the other is also the affairs of Taiyin..."
Zhengao nodded and smiled, his gaze sliding lightly over the two. After listening to Shao Yu finish speaking, this immortal lady of the Shaoyin Wugui position shook her tea-white neon dress and cupped her hands:
"Please handle it, immortal general. Shao Yu should not stay here."
She retreated gracefully. Dangjiang waited below. Although he had seen Zhengao, it was a private meeting, which could not be compared to today's solemnity and grandeur, and he felt timid in his heart.
Chi Buzi on the side was much calmer, but the status of this place broke his expectations several times, and it involved his own Golden Core path, so he couldn't help but be slightly anxious. Seeing Dangjiang standing in front like a shrinking turtle, he had a headache: "Stupid donkey......"
