Chapter 235 Don’t Believe Everything in the Book
Women are indeed fickle. This is the conclusion that Long Qi has just come to.
He was frowning the moment before, but after a good sleep, he was smiling and lively again.
It's not that he had to show his worries on his face, but Long Qi saw that Lingxiang was sad, so he wanted to show it, so he got up early and went out to look for some rare things. But when he came back, he found that she was having fun playing with those little spirit beasts with a beaming smile on her face, and had no intention of paying attention to him at all.
Although Long Qi was very happy to see Ling Xiang put it down, he didn't know why he always felt a little disappointed, and even a little angry...
Look, Long Qi was now chewing the fruit he had picked, looking depressed. The fruit tasted sweet and juicy, but Long Qi felt it tasted like chewing wax. However, he had no choice but to vent his anger on the fruit.
In fact, Lingxiang's personality may be a habit. Although she was very sad after knowing the truth, it has come to this point, so why dwell on it? What has happened has happened, and it is useless to dwell on it. Instead of dwelling on the past, it is better to focus on the present.
When you are alive, you must always look forward.
Yunzhongjun somehow came to the cave of Fairy Yaoji. According to his personality, he should be the one who dislikes getting along with others. When Banxia heard that he was the Lord of Yunmeng, she was so scared that she started serving tea and water, handing fans and rubbing shoulders, and was very attentive.
Yun Zhongjun was quite happy with it. He ordered Banxia around, either asking her to get this or to do something else. He acted like a superior. Even the sound of his voice seemed to be humming through his nose.
Ah! Thousands of years! Thousands of years since I was served! This feeling is really...
So comfortable!
Xinyi and Liu Xia discussed the innate Qi that Lingxiang mentioned, but they were not in a hurry to find it. It was not that they did not want to improve their cultivation, but in the current situation, this method was not very applicable. If they were lucky, they might succeed in a short time, but if they were unlucky, no one knew how long it would take.
There are more than just one way to improve your cultivation, right?
Besides, even if there is no danger now, based on their understanding of Lingxiang, although she seems to be indifferent, she is probably racking her brains to figure out how to get what she wants.
Moreover, Zhao Wuyang is not awake yet. If the two of them sit down to look for Qi at that time, it will take an indefinite time and they won’t know when it will be in the outside world.
The deadline given by the sect was not long. After all, it was to complete the experience of Chen Xin's decision to stay or leave, not to improve his cultivation. When and why also required careful consideration.
When it comes to Zhao Wuyang, Xinyi is very worried. Long Qi, who went with him to search for Qi, has already woken up, but Zhao Wuyang has returned to meditation after the Huiwu incident, and it is unknown when he will wake up.
However, Lingxiang didn't seem to care much about it, saying that in order to find Qi, one must not only face the knot in his heart, but also face himself, and the complexity is hard to estimate. In her opinion, Zhao Wuyang was young and simple-minded, and he was not experienced in the world. It was normal for him to be hesitant in the face of confusion. It was understandable to wait for a while, and there was no need to worry too much about him.
Even those old antiques in Yuanqing were confused, let alone him?
Besides, he has Ah Jin by his side, and the ancient sky will not let him fall into the state of obsession. Anyway, Zhao Wuyang is in meditation now, so it will be useless even if he is anxious. Why bother? Just let nature take its course.
However, to Lingxiang's surprise, Fairy Yao Ji, who looked so dignified, actually did not get along well with Yun Zhongjun. She did not expect that the gods would quarrel and bicker like ordinary people in the world.
Although one shouldn't speak ill of the ancient gods behind their backs, in Lingxiang's opinion, Yun Zhongjun really looked like a dandy in the mortal world.
No! Not like! He is!
Originally Lingxiang thought that an immortal who had attained the Tao should be extremely prudent, but Yun Zhongjun seemed to be very unrestrained and unruly. He was totally unlike the steadiness of the old immortal described in the storybooks. Instead, he was comparable to the Eternal Sky in Zhao Wuyang's body.
Are all old gods like this? I remember that the old mountain god of Fengwu Mountain seemed to be so unruly.
How should I put it? Lingxiang didn't mind the immortals' behavior. She herself was a person who didn't stick to rules.
Although she often said that what was said in the book could not be fully trusted, she was accustomed to what was said in the book since she was a child and believed so from the beginning to the end. Therefore, it was difficult for her to accept it for a while.
However, I did learn something from the quarrel between Fairy Yaoji and Lord Yunzhong. It turned out that in ancient times, there was a great flood, and many spirit beasts had long been accustomed to the flow. Later, Emperor Yu controlled the flood and used Xirang to dredge the flow and knead the soil. Although the flood was controlled, Xirang was a divine object, and it could not be controlled after that because it grew wildly.
As a result, the soil on the upper reaches disappeared and the water level receded. Many spiritual beasts lost their habitats and many of them became extinct in just a few years.
Yun Zhongjun felt sorry for it, but his divine power was not enough to protect Yunmeng, so he sought out the fairy Yao Ji who was good at water control, and together they moved Yunmeng away.
But this is just one of the reasons why Yun Zhongjun sealed Yunmengze into the Water Mirror.
As mentioned above, Yunmeng was sealed in the Water Mirror for the sake of all the creatures that depend on water for survival. This was also the main reason, but there was another reason, which was for Xiangliu.
What the ancient scrolls say about Xiangliu is just like what history books say about history. However, what the books say cannot be verified. Only by unraveling the facts, thinking carefully and distinguishing clearly, can we gain some conclusions.
People have never experienced history in person, so they can only rely on what was written by their ancestors. Just like Lingxiang always thought that the gods should be like the ones described in the story books, with a clear mind and elegant bones, but Yunzhongjun did not have the slightest elegance.
Therefore, when Lingxiang heard what Fairy Yao Ji said, she was so surprised and said frankly that one cannot believe everything written in the book.
It is said that when Gonggong and Zhuanxu were fighting, Gonggong was defeated and fled to Buzhou. In shame and anger, he crashed into the pillar of heaven, causing a huge flood. Xiangliu was his assistant.
This is what the book says, but what is the truth?
Although Xiangliu was strong, he was simple-minded. Even to this day, his mind was still undeveloped, like a child. Gonggong was good at making sweet talk, and was a person who pretended to obey but actually disobeyed. He used his words to deceive Xiangliu and made him do many evil things.
Later, Xiang Liu was captured by Emperor Yu, who was about to execute him to uphold justice, but Yun Zhongjun arrived in time and rescued him.
However, Xiangliu did something wrong after all, and if he was not punished, he would not be able to explain to the world, so Emperor Yu cut off one of his nine heads as a punishment.
But Xiangliu was indeed an evil spirit. As soon as his head was chopped off, the gushing demon blood turned into pungent water, which could neither produce crops nor be blocked, so the Wan Di Terrace was built later.
The reason why Yun Zhongjun spoke up to stop them was not only because of what Ajin asked for, but also because of what was in Long Qi's hand.
The sword that cut off Xiangliu's head that year was the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss.
Besides, Emperor Yu later punished Xiangliu, and Yunzhongjun brought it to Yunmeng, where he purified and taught it carefully over the past thousand years, and it became much more docile. If Lingxiang and others had not brought those monsters in, it would probably still be sleeping peacefully under the swamp.
"What?" Lingxiang was incredulous after hearing what Fairy Yaoji said, "Then Xiangliu has the mind of a child?"
When Lingxiang thought of the ferocious look of Xiangliu that she had seen before, she found it hard to associate him with children. But although Xiangliu looked scary, he did not attack them.
But what surprised Lingxiang even more was what Fairy Yao Ji said next.
"Yes, if it weren't for this, the fang wouldn't have been taken away by the blackmailer, right?"
"Hiss!" Lingxiang took three deep breaths in a row, almost unable to recover, "The extortion beast actually tricked Xiangliu's fangs?!"
