Chapter 9 I remembered something very important

The two of them spent the whole day happily in Senluo Palace. The next morning, they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Maybe the Goddess Yuehua was invited back.

Wu Ciyan was thinking this and was about to open the door, but Wen Lanzhi got up before him and said as she ran, "Sister Murong is here to bring grapes again!"

The door opened, and it was Murong, carrying a basket of grapes.

Wu Ciyan asked, "How do you know?"

Wen Lanzhi said, "Sister Murong said yesterday afternoon that there would be grapes today."

Murong smiled and said, "I'll feed the rabbits." Then she patted Wen Lanzhi's head.

This slap turned Wen Lanzhi back to her original form, but it didn't hurt. Wen Lanzhi was lying in the basket and was about to eat when she was picked up by Murong again.

Murong carried her into the house, sat down, took out the grapes from the basket, and placed them on the small table next to her. Then, she took a grape, peeled it, and brought it to Wen Lanzhi's mouth.

The rabbit's three-lobed mouth moved, chewing, chewing, chewing. Murong peeled another one, and the rabbit lay comfortably in Murong's arms, with its four legs in the air, chewing, chewing, chewing.

When Wu Ciyan saw it was her, he leaned back, crossed his legs, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Murong said as a matter of course: "Feed the rabbit."

Wu Ciyan said, "If you like it, how can you not get a rabbit?"

Murong said, "I like this one."

Wu Ciyan yawned and closed his eyes.

After a while, Murong said, "Why don't I go to the Immortal Mountain and ask for help from the Goddess Yuehua."

Wu Ciyan said, "Some people are willing to go, so you don't need to make a trip. Now that you have finally returned to heaven, you can eat, drink and have fun for a few days."

Murong smiled and said, "In the past two days, the demon world has been full of rumors that you ran to the Heavenly Palace and destroyed the pure fire of the alchemy furnace and many magical herbs and medicines simply because you couldn't sleep. The immortals spread this matter, thinking that it would arouse public outrage and make you unable to survive in the demon world. Who would have thought that the demons would applaud and even make a play about it, which will be performed next month."

Wu Ciyan opened his eyes, chuckled, and said, "Honestly, I didn't know the pure fire in the furnace was still burning. I thought it went out six years ago. If I had known earlier, I would have come here to make it rain."

Seeing Murong also smiling, he asked, "You're not angry? I thought you would be angry. You said I was using force to suppress others and was lawless."

"It's hard to say who's right or wrong in this kind of situation. The grudge between you two has been going on for too long. Maybe you could have reconciled before, but now it's just a matter of who has the harder fist." Murong sighed and smiled again. "Let's not talk about these boring things. Didn't you ask me to help you find another wallet?"

Murong pulled out a black purse from the bottom of the basket. It was embroidered with a giant white python and outlined with gold thread. It looked very beautiful.

Wu Ci Yan's previous purse had a rabbit embroidered on it. He had never thought of changing it before, but now he thought it would be a perfect gift for Wen Lanzhi.

Murong still didn't understand why, so she asked, "Is your old one broken?"

Wu Ciyan was about to pull the rabbit's ears, but Murong slapped him away.

Murong said, "You can't pull a rabbit's ears."

Wu Ci Yan said "Oh" and started pulling the skin on the back of his neck.

Murong pinched the rabbit's short legs and teased, "If nothing else, your colors match well, both of you being a perfect white."

Wu Ciyan opened the new purse and put the rabbit in it.

It was just right, with a little of the head still visible. The rabbit's two paws were on the bag, and Wu Ciyan stuffed it in for her to prevent it from falling out. Then, he tied the purse around his waist, stood up and walked a few steps, and praised: "Not bad, it won't fall down."

This way, next time I encounter danger, I won’t have to crawl into his collar.

He said, "After a month, this purse will be yours."

Wen Lanzhi kicked her legs twice, came out of the purse, climbed into Murong's arms, with her butt facing Wu Ciyan, as if she was quite dissatisfied with him.

Wu Ciyan spread his hands innocently and sat down again.

He always felt like he had forgotten something.

After a while, he remembered something and said, "I remembered something."

Murong asked, "What?"

Wu Ciyan said, "Deputy Chief Zuo is still in Xiao Lanlan's purse."

Murong knew the person in front. After all, it had only been a few days, so her memory wasn't that bad. But the person behind...

She thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Lanlan? Are you talking about Wen Lanzhi?"

Wu Ciyan nodded.

Murong: “…” What an ugly name.

Wu Ciyan used his foot to hook the pile of clothes over and found the purse inside. It was bulging and looked like it contained not only souls but also a lot of money. However, he couldn't release it for the time being. He said, "I don't have a skin to give him."

Murong said, "Anything with a spirit can be used as a skin." She picked at the table and took out a peach, handed it to Wu Ciyan, and said, "This one will do."

Murong patted Wen Lanzhi's head again.

Wen Lanzhi transformed into a human form, and she also remembered one thing: her handkerchief. Never mind, she'd tell Wu Ciyan after he finished dealing with it.

Wu Ciyan opened his purse and threw the peaches into the air.

Wen Lanzhi thought she would see a flash of white light and then a human figure appear on the floor, but there was nothing at all. Taozi fell to the ground, turned a few times, and rolled a few more times.

The peach didn't move for a long time. Wen Lanzhi lost her patience and went to the table to pick up another peach to eat.

"Where am I?" Wen Lanzhi had just opened her mouth when the peach in her hand spoke. She exclaimed and threw the peach into Wu Ci Yan's arms. Wu Ci Yan slapped the peach over and threw it to Murong. Murong didn't want it either, so she slapped it away too. The peach fell to the ground and lay side by side with the peach just now.

Peach cried out "Aiya" three times in a row, opened his eyes dizzily, and stood up. His sight was very low, and he could only see three pairs of legs: one pair was kneeling properly, one pair was raised, and one pair was stretching out legs and shaking feet. He raised his head with great effort and saw Wu Ciyan. He screamed in shock: "Help, help, help!"

"Shut up!" Wu Ci Yan threw a grape at him.

He immediately shut up and lay on the ground as if in surrender.

Wen Lanzhi reached out to pull Wu Ciyan's arm and asked softly, "Has he run out of magical powers?"

Wu Ciyan said, "A little bit."

Wen Lanzhi asked again: "Then can we eat him?"

Wu Ciyan said in a loud voice, "Of course, if you can eat it."

"Don't eat me, don't eat me, don't eat me!" Deputy Chief Zuo hurriedly said, "Master Wu, you can do whatever you want. I will follow you! I will go through fire and water for you! As long as you spare my life."

Wu Ciyan laughed as if he had heard a great joke, "Why would I need a peach following me?"

"Master Wu." An immortal came in. "God Bai Xu has arrived and is knocking on the door."

Wu Ciyan stood up, said "OK", and made a gesture of silence to the peach.

The door opened and Bai Xu came in holding a scroll.

Wu Ciyan raised his eyebrows, waiting for him to speak.

Bai Xu said, "Master Wu, we went to look for the Supreme Goddess Yuehua. She did have important matters to attend to and couldn't come back, but we did find out some news about Jinyu for you."

When Bai Xu looked up, he saw bruises on his face, and the area around his left eye was blue.

"Who did Lord Bai Xu fight with?" Wu Ci Yan asked with pretended concern.

Who else could it be? The Moon Goddess you've been thinking about so much. He led a group to break someone's barrier, only to be kidnapped and kicked out. It took him nearly an entire night to explain why. And now, bright and early this morning, he's back with Moon Goddess's personal letter, barely even having time to change clothes in the palace.

However, this matter was too shameful, so Bai Xu didn't intend to talk about it. He said, "I just bumped into it accidentally. Don't worry about it, Master Wu."

Wu Ciyan took the scroll, and Bai Xu said, "Supreme God Yuehua said he didn't hide the treasure intentionally. It was for a reason. At that time, his adopted son in the mortal world—the master of the Purple Copper Cave on Qin'an Mountain—had lost a large portion of his memories. The cave master borrowed the Jinyu from Supreme God Yuehua. But he didn't know how to use it. Furthermore, the amnesia was probably caused by an evil spell, and the Jinyu couldn't dispel it, so it was useless. The Purple Copper Cave is now in decline, but he still has the Jinyu."

Bai Xu was really worried that Wu Ciyan would ask them to retrieve Jinyu, so he quickly added, "Supreme God Yuehua hasn't contacted the cave master in a long time. I just sent a letter, but I don't know if it will reach him. Although the cave master is the adopted son of Supreme God Yuehua and has a connection with the immortals, but..."

"But it is a monster after all. If your reputation as immortals has been damaged in the past, then all the people in the world will suspect that immortals and monsters are in league with each other—" Wu Ci Yan interrupted him and added sarcastically.

He scratched his ear and said, "Okay, I got it. I'll go by myself." Then he closed the door.

Bai Xu breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of this monster.

Wu Ci Yan came back, repeated what Bai Xu had just said, and spread the scroll on the table.

Murong asked, "Qin'an Mountain's Purple Copper Cave? What kind of place is that?"

Wu Ciyan said: "Speaking of the Purple Copper Cave, I..."

"I know! I know!" Peach came skipping over and interrupted Wu Ciyan, "Sir, I know where the Purple Copper Cave is. I've helped our king deliver something to the cave master before. I can lead the way for you!"

Wu Ciyan pointed to the scroll and said, "No need, it's clearly marked here."

"Young Master, Young Master! I know something about the inside story!" Taozi said hurriedly, as if she was afraid that someone would steal her credit.

Seeing that he was having difficulty dancing, Wen Lanzhi grabbed his leaves and put them on the table for him.

Deputy Chief Zuo said, "Sir, this thing I know of is definitely not on the scroll."

"Oh?" Wu Ciyan was very interested. "Tell me about it?"

Deputy Chief Zuo said, "The master of the Purple Copper Cave is actually a woman, the lover of the Moon God! The Moon God seduced her and didn't want to take responsibility, but he got her pregnant. This is nothing for a fairy like her. Every fairy who can sit in this position has many beauties, and it's not like they can't raise more children. But it's different for the Moon God! The Moon God is a god! A superior being! Tsk tsk tsk tsk, there's nothing they can do, so they adopted her as their adopted son, gave her some benefits, and made her shut up. If she's an adopted son and not a daughter, it's because they're guilty and afraid of people's suspicion, so they packaged her as a man. The Moon God is actually a complete bastard! A hypocrite!"

He lifted up the leaves and talked incessantly. He knew that Wu Ci Yan hated these gods the most. If he knew the gods' weaknesses, it would be like getting an elixir.

He thought about this and laughed out loud, "Master Wu, as long as we catch that monster, we can..."

Wu Ciyan frowned and slapped him off the table, "You're just talking nonsense."

He didn't want to hear how filthy the gods were, he just wanted to know where Jin Yu was.
