Chapter 135 Cang Li and Tai Qing go...

Cang Li and Tai Qing went to Luo Feng Mountain for a look. Seeing that Hou Tu was still busy, Tai Qing asked Yuan He Li to tell her that she and Tai Qing would go back first.

After leaving the underworld, Cang Li said to Tai Qing, "Let's go to Kunlun first. I don't know where he lives now, let's go ask him."

She wanted to give the medicine to the injured person.

The Kunlun Mountains are becoming increasingly ethereal. Mortals seeking immortality often search for them. Those with a predestined affinity for immortality will naturally find them, while those without will never find them in their entire lives.

Upon arriving at the Queen Mother of the West's palace, Taiqing suddenly said to Cangli:

"I'm going to my second brother's place, I'll come pick you up in a bit."

Cang Li hurriedly said, "Go ahead, you don't need to come pick me up, I'll come find you in a bit."

Taiqing didn't refuse, but simply nodded and flew towards Yuxu Palace, while Cangli entered the Queen Mother of the West Palace.

The young servant in the Queen Mother of the West's palace recognized Cang Li and immediately stepped forward upon seeing him, saying:

"Your Majesty, please, my lady is refining elixirs in the alchemy room."

Cang Li followed the boy to the alchemy room, and as soon as they got close, they heard someone inside saying:

"Try this pill, I just refined it, it should help with your injuries."

Upon hearing this, Cang Li went straight in and said:

"Don't bother trying, I got the elixir from Houtu."

Ji and Jie looked over together. Upon seeing Cang Li, Jie said somewhat ashamedly:

"It's my fault; my alchemy skills are inadequate."

Everyone had already told them that Cang Li knew about Ji's injury and assured them that he knew nothing about Ji's injury except for the falling out between Jie and Er. Only then did Ji and Jie breathe a sigh of relief. Now, seeing Cang Li painstakingly asking Hou Tu for medicine, Ji and Jie lowered their heads and remained silent like children who had done something wrong.

Cang Li stepped forward and tapped one of them on the head:

"Why aren't you saying anything? Hey, let me see your arm."

Ji rolled up his sleeves and shyly extended his hand to Cang Li.

Upon seeing the spiraling wound and the clearly abnormal black aura, Cang Li slapped the man on the back of the head:

"You brat! Why didn't you say so sooner?! I was in seclusion, couldn't I have gone to find the Taoist priest?"

She didn't dare to move an inch or argue, she just lowered her head and said, "I was wrong, sister."

Jie didn't dare to speak.

Cang Li shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't interfere in your conflict. You can resolve it yourselves. Take this medicine quickly and heal your wounds afterward."

He then handed the pill to the man.

The man took it and obediently thanked her, saying, "Thank you, elder sister."

Jie immediately reached out his hand: "Let me eat it later and see how it differs from what I made."

With a flick of his wrist, he handed the pill to Jie.

After studying it carefully for a while, Jie suddenly realized: "This medicine needs to be made from ingredients from the underworld. No wonder I made it wrong."

After saying that, he stuffed the pill into the man's mouth:

"Eat quickly, and I'll check the effect after you finish."

Ji silently swallowed the pill, then proactively and consciously extended his hand to Jie.

Jie began to observe the changes in the wound, and Cang Li also curiously leaned over to take a look.

Not long after the pill was ingested, the yin energy on the wound began to peel away from it. Once it was completely peeled away, the gruesome wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ji breathed a sigh of relief. The injury was unknown and had indeed been quite torturous, especially during battles where it often caused spiritual energy to stagnate. Now that the wound was healed, Ji moved his hand and smiled at Cang Li, saying:

"Sister, your injuries have fully healed."

Cang Li examined it carefully. The yin energy detached from the wound and immediately burrowed into the ground, and the wound healed instantly. Cang Li nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't be so reckless next time. You even got into a fight with Houtu. When she was powerful, you were still a child. Luckily, she didn't hold it against you."

The man scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I understand, I won't do it again."

Cang Li scolded the man, then stood up and said:

"I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to Yuxu Palace. If you need anything, come find me at Bajing Palace."

He then got up and left.

Ji and Jie hurriedly saw Cang Li off at the door. When they returned, Jie said:

"Stay here with me for a couple more days, don't go back to Heaven, there's nothing else to do anyway."

Just as he was about to agree, he saw the celestial attendant beside him arrive, bow to him, and say:

"His Majesty commands the immortal to proceed to the Lingxiao Palace immediately."

The man sighed and said to Jie, "I won't stay any longer. I'll be going now and come to see you another day."

Jie snorted coldly, giving the fairy servant a cold look, and turned to leave.

Ji shook his head, glanced at the fairy attendant, and said, "Let's go, don't keep His Majesty waiting."

With that, he took the lead and rode a cloud to the Heavenly Court.

He flew directly to the Lingxiao Palace before descending and entering. Once inside, he saw only the young man there. He looked around before asking:

"Is there something troublesome? Why didn't you call Zhong and Yu over?"

Er shook his head: "No, I can only ask you about this."

Now that he was curious, he thought it was something like exorcising demons or monsters, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

Er stepped down, stood in front of the person, and suddenly looked down at the person's hand, saying:

"Is your hand all better?"

Ji nodded: "Yes, my sister went to the underworld to ask for medicine, and her hand has already healed."

Er's eyes darkened, and he stopped talking about the injury, turning instead to the person:

"War is about to break out in the mortal realm. Those from the Chan and Jie sects who are destined for this calamity will be listed on the Investiture of the Gods. Those listed will all be under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. You..."

As she spoke, Er suddenly fell silent, seemingly hesitant.

The man looked at the girl with a puzzled expression:

"What do I need to do? Descend to the mortal realm to help those facing calamity?"

Suddenly, Er asked, "Did Sister mention me?"

The man found it even stranger: "Why ask this? It's good that you and the Taoist priest don't concern yourselves with worldly affairs now. Saints don't get involved in cause and effect, and you'll always be happy in the future."

Er sighed softly, turned to look at the Heavenly Emperor's throne, pondered for a long time, and then said softly:

"Hey, come here for a second."

Ji approached as instructed and stood beside Er. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. Ji looked down blankly, seemingly unable to react, staring blankly at the hole in his chest, which was empty inside. When he looked up, he saw Er holding his heart expressionlessly.

"……thou?"

A look of disbelief crossed Ji's eyes. He instinctively tried to ask a question, but the spiritual energy within him was circulating rapidly, and he gradually lost his balance and knelt down. He struggled to look up at Er, as if he wanted an explanation.

The little one slowly crushed the person's heart, then half-squatted on the ground and looked at the person, saying:

“You’ve taken care of us since we were little. Help me one more time. The Investiture of the Gods can’t be full of people from the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect. I’ll send you into reincarnation so you can be on the Investiture of the Gods.”

Blood kept gushing from the man's mouth. His heart had been ripped out and crushed without his knowledge. Even a god couldn't save him. The man couldn't utter a word. Looking at the man's condition, the man's last thought was to worry about Cang Li.

Er collected the person's soul, destroyed the person's body with a wave of his hand, then bypassed the cycle of reincarnation and sent the person's soul directly into Xiqi.

When Cang Li was waiting for Taiqing and Yuanshi to finish their conversation at Yuxu Palace and was about to return, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He paused for a moment, then went through everything that had happened since he left the pass. He found no oversights, breathed a sigh of relief, and realized that he had been overthinking things. So he returned to Bajing Palace with Taiqing.

At the same time, the Marquis of Xibo was overjoyed to have his eldest son, named Boyi Kao, and the following year he had his second son, Ji Fa.

After Emperor Xin inscribed a poem at the Nuwa Temple, he was advised by Grand Tutor Wen Zhong on the matter of attacking the North Sea. Emperor Xin said he would heed the advice and told Wen Zhong to go on the expedition with peace of mind, assuring him that he would not cause any trouble.

For a few years, the world was at peace.

Even after the wife of the general of Chentang Pass, Madam Yin, had been pregnant for three years, she still hadn't given birth.

Su Hu was executed for rebelling against the Shang dynasty, and the Marquis of Xibo was implicated and imprisoned in Chaoge.

Yuanshi summoned his disciple Jiang Shang to the Jade Void Palace. Jiang Shang was unable to cultivate, but he had a destiny to become an immortal. Yuanshi gave Jiang Shang the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip, ordering him to go down the mountain to help the country. Jiang Shang went down the mountain to Chaoge with a lot of questions in his mind.

Cang Li stayed in the Bajing Palace and didn't go out. The Bajing Palace was quite large, enough for her to wander around. In addition, there was the fluffy panda Wugu to pet. Cang Li was also experiencing the joy of raising a cub again.

Taiqing glanced at Wugu. Since returning, Cangli had spent nine out of ten days with Wugu, and didn't even come back to sleep at night, saying that it was comfortable to snuggle on Wugu's furry belly. Taiqing didn't comment on this, but he wanted Xuandu to send Wugu away, preferably to stay outside for ten or eight years without returning.

Unfortunately, Xuan was not there; he had been borrowed by Yuanshi to do some work.

Wugu was enjoying Cangli petting its fur with great relish, resting its head on Cangli's body, and then tilting its head to place its mouth on Cangli's face.

Cang Li was stunned for a moment, then realized that Wu Gu had learned it from Tai Qing. She and Tai Qing were always clinging to each other, and when she leaned against Tai Qing, Tai Qing would lean down and kiss her cheek. Wu Gu had picked up that habit. Cang Li gently pushed Wu Gu's round head.

"Stop fooling around, get up. You haven't cultivated yet today. When you've cultivated into human form, I'll take you out to play."

Wu Gu's eyes lit up. He pulled the cang Li off his belly, clumsily got up, and sat on the rock to meditate and cultivate in a serious manner.

Cang Li rubbed his shoulders; petting the panda was quite tiring.

Taiqing walked over and casually brushed the panda fur off Cangli's shoulder, then said to Cangli:

"Send the grains to Biyou Palace. My third brother has many cultivation techniques suitable for demons."

Cang Li thought about it carefully and refused. What difference would it make if he were sent there now or joined the National Revolutionary Army in 1949?

Taiqing glanced at Wugu with disappointment. He couldn't send him away. Otherwise, he would have asked Xuandu to come back and take Wugu away. He didn't like Wugu sticking to Cangli all day long.

Before Taiqing could recall Xuandu, Jiehe and his followers arrived.

"Sister, we've come to see you."

The two sisters came over hand in hand, and upon seeing Taiqing, they respectfully bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Taiqing released Cangli and said, "No need for formalities, sit down and let's talk."

Jie and the others each took one of Cang Li's arms and said:

"Sister, it's been quite a while since we last visited. Do you miss us?"

Cang Li nodded: "Yes, I want to."

Then he looked behind the two of them and asked:

"Just the two of you? Ji and Yu didn't come?"

Everyone shook their heads: "That kid Yu went to Beihai to join in the fun. They said that Grand Tutor Wen from the mortal realm was pacifying Beihai. I haven't seen him for years. I don't know what he's up to or where he sent him."

Jie frowned:

"You haven't seen him for several years either? I went to his place to look for him not long ago, and the servant there said he hadn't been back for a long time."

Cang Li frowned: "The person hasn't contacted you? They didn't say where they went? Did you ask them?"

Jie shook his head: "Sister, you know I don't like going to Heaven."

The crowd stood up and said:

“I’ll go ask you, sister. You and Jie wait for me. I’ll come back and tell you right away.”

Jie: "Okay, then go quickly."

The crowd left in a hurry. Since she moved to Mount Tai, her mood has improved a lot. Over the years, she has been called Bixia Yuanjun by the believers of Mount Tai and enjoys incense offerings. She is much happier than when she was in the Heavenly Court.
