Chapter 136 The Absurd Day 136 of Emperor Xin's Game-Making...
Although Biyun readily agreed and obediently led Nezha to find a place to stay, she immediately changed her attitude once she was out of Shiji's sight.
She looked at the white-haired, red-clad human child in front of her with utter disgust, thinking that this guy must have been tricked by Lady Shiji.
How could a human child come to their Skull Mountain? Besides, what human child would have such strange hair like Nezha, falling from the sky without getting hurt?
The child was clearly suspicious, but the Empress, being kind-hearted, let the strange doll go.
However, Biyun was determined to help the Empress keep a close eye on this human and prevent the despicable human from committing evil deeds here.
However, since being enlightened by Shi Ji, Bi Yun Tong Zi has never left Skull Mountain, and his thoughts are very straightforward.
As soon as she stepped out of the cave, she crossed her arms, turned around and stared at Nezha, her face full of displeasure. But due to the instructions of Lady Shiji, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Although I don't know where you came from, our White Bone Cave doesn't keep idle people. If you stay here for a day, you will have to do a day's work."
"Besides the Empress, this place is full of demons and monsters. It's not a place for a human brat like you. Tell me where you live right now, and I'll find someone to take you home."
No matter what's wrong with this human brat, once he leaves Skull Mountain, it's none of their business in the Bone Cave.
Biyun Tongzi became even more excited: "The monsters here don't know their own strength, you'd better go home as soon as possible."
Nezha remained quietly in place, watching Biyun finish this performance, which she had directed and acted in herself. From the initial ferocious threats to the later gentle persuasion, it was the first time he had ever seen so many expressions appear on a person's face at the same time.
However, they are just a few minor demons. Even if some demons have malicious intentions towards him, Nezha is confident that he can beat them to a pulp.
"Hey, did you hear me? If you don't go back, you'll have to work with us demons and monsters. So go back to where you came from and be a good boy." Seeing that Nezha didn't respond for a long time, Biyun got anxious and took a step forward with her hands on her hips, forcing Nezha to give her an answer.
After all, the Empress had agreed to let Nezha stay, but if Nezha himself asked to go back, then the Empress couldn't say anything.
What kind of work do we need to do?
Nezha nodded. He wasn't ignorant of the rules. Since he planned to stay here for a while, it wouldn't hurt to do some ordinary chores with the host.
Besides, he also wanted to see the man-eating demons and monsters that Biyun had mentioned. If this place really was a demon's lair, he would clean it up thoroughly to rid the people of this scourge.
"Alright, then come with me." Seeing that Nezha was unyielding, Biyun's tone became three degrees harsher. She immediately turned away and walked quickly towards the backyard.
However, Biyun knew her limits: "I won't make things difficult for you. There are some vegetables that the Empress likes to eat planted in the backyard. They will grow a new crop soon and won't get infested with insects. You just need to water them every day."
After all, Nezha only looks like a six-year-old child. A six-year-old human looks exactly like a six-year-old, so it's unrealistic to expect him to do any heavy work.
Let him go to the vegetable garden to water the plants and find something to do, so that Biyun can keep an eye on the child from time to time.
She hated children the most, especially the human child in front of her who couldn't understand the demon's language and insisted on staying by the goddess's side.
If this child hadn't bewitched the Empress, why would she have kept this human on their very first meeting?
Biyun's tone was harsh, but she deliberately slowed her pace, waiting for Nezha to catch up: "There's a magic array in the garden. You just need to follow my method. The seeds planted inside are from the little ginseng, including coriander, fennel, hibiscus, and houttuynia cordata..."
As she spoke, Biyun led Nezha into the real farm of Skull Mountain. Every piece of land was covered with lush green vegetables, but apart from the vegetables, there wasn't a single insect or bee. Apart from the sound of the wind, it was eerily quiet.
Biyun led Nezha towards the center of the vegetable field. The closer they got to the center, the more carefully cultivated the varieties became, and the more distinctive their characteristics were.
Nezha gradually felt like he couldn't breathe and that everything felt strange.
A strange smell lingered in the air. Was this the smell of a monster's cave? Nezha held his breath and continued walking forward with Biyun.
But when Biyun broke off a leaf from the middle of the "century-old premium coriander," she couldn't stand the strong smell. However, as soon as she turned around, she accidentally stepped on the exposed white roots of a plant on the ground.
In an instant, an even more pungent smell wafted out from under Nezha's feet. This strange smell rushed straight to his head from the tip of his nose, and even made him feel nauseous. Before Nezha could react, everything went black.
Finally, what came into view was the face of Lady Shiji with her strange makeup, and Biyun screaming, "Don't die! I didn't know that houttuynia cordata is poisonous to humans! I'll go find the Lady to save me right now..."
Before Nezha actually lay down on the ground, Shiji hooked Nezha's neck with one hand, lifted him up with the other, and looked him up and down.
"These are the disciples of Taiyi. How come they can't even stand the smell? Well, since the players from Kunlun have come here, they should learn their lesson."
After all, their master was given the villain's role back in Zixiao Palace.
Looking at the game interface, Nezha was completely illuminated, with only the lotus flower beneath his feet still slightly dim, but it was not far from being fully lit.
Shi Ji posted in the Jiejiao group that she had encountered Nezha, a player from the Chanjiao sect, and planned to take this opportunity to learn about the abilities of the third-generation disciple of the Chanjiao sect.
Yuan Yi quickly scanned the chat and saw that the messages below were mostly about how to discipline or bully children, including but not limited to forcing Nezha to eat houttuynia cordata to train Nezha's resistance to poison.
Fortunately, Shi Ji, who held a proper official position, was clearly incapable of abusing a child. She didn't reply to the message in the group chat. After taking Nezha and arranging for him to stay in the next cave, she went back to report to her senior brother Duobao about recent events.
Upon seeing the numerous disciples of the Jie Sect, the news quickly spread far and wide, and Taiyi Zhenren even soon received information about the whereabouts of the disciples who had run away from home.
Yuan Yi stopped caring about what happened next. After all, they were all legitimate Heavenly Officials supervised by Heavenly Rules and Regulations, and under the Heavenly Rules, there was no time for Heavenly Officials to fight amongst themselves or mistreat the people.
However, I really didn't expect that Nezha would actually be knocked unconscious by the smell of cilantro? Yuan Yi stroked his chin, intending to have a good talk with Nuwa about this.
But he discovered that Nuwa's message arrived even faster than his own: "How could Di Xin do such a thing?!"
What's up?
Yuan Yi hadn't seen Nuwa so out of control in a long time. Apart from the card draw that broke her defenses, the last time Nuwa exclaimed three exclamation marks in a row was when Fuxi stubbornly insisted on reincarnating as a rogue cultivator to plot for the throne of the human emperor.
What merit or ability did Emperor Xin possess to receive the same treatment as Fuxi? Did he write obscene poems on the wall?
Yuan Yi touched her chin and shook her head. It shouldn't be like this. She had already prepared Nuwa for this, even picking out the original verses line by line to make a joke for Nuwa. Even if the scene was replicated, Nuwa would never lose her composure like this.
Just as Yuan Yilian was investigating what had happened, Nuwa's replies began to appear one after another.
How dare Emperor Xin!
How dare you call that thing Nuwa? And there are so many humans and demons watching in front of my statue!
What's most infuriating is that he genuinely believes it!
[My sculpture is so big, standing right there. How could he possibly draw such a strange appearance?]
With Nuwa's narration and communication with the earth's veins, Yuan Yi finally understood what had happened.
It turns out that since Kong Xuan joined the Nuwa Temple in Chaoge, he has been enlightening the people in the temple, teaching the believers in Chaoge, and imparting knowledge of writing, herbs, etc. In just a few years, he has become famous and known to everyone.
At the same time, Kong Xuan also specially opened a separate course for the children of Chaoge. Every evening, the children from all over would gather at the Nuwa Temple to learn to read.
By a stroke of luck, Di Xin also became one of these schoolchildren, learning to read and write in front of the white wall in front of the statue of Nuwa.
Logically speaking, his fate should have taken a complete turn at this point.
King Zhou had seen Nuwa since he was young, so he wouldn't lose his composure and do something unforgivable during the sacrifice because he was amazed by her.
What no one expected was that Di Xin, who had graduated and left, returned to the Nuwa Temple a few years later as the Human Emperor at a sacrificial ceremony.
Years later, when I revisited the place and met my respected teachers again, I was no longer the naughty child being disciplined by them, but the high and mighty ruler of a country.
How could the newly enthroned Emperor Xin resist showing off? So he immediately wanted to demonstrate his skills to Kong Xuan.
Why do you have to stare at the wall and draw? Of all things to do, you have to do it.
Why draw something of all? Why insist on copying the image of the goddess Nuwa?
[The painting itself is one thing, but why name this horribly disfigured thing Nuwa?]
Looking into the distance, Yuan Yi could vaguely see a human figure within a ball of pitch-black thread, with a patch of blackish-gray spread below. If one were not closely observing it with the prototype of Nuwa in mind, one would only think that this stain resembled something from the indescribable Cthulhu world.
To be able to paint like this, King Zhou must have possessed considerable skill. Yuan Yi, upon seeing the painting, was at a loss for words to defend it.
Meanwhile, Nuwa's speech was not yet finished:
[So be it. There are so many humans and demons in the world, and countless people have painted Nuwa.]
[It's just that he had to choose a time of year when he could have drawn it, the grand sacrificial ceremony after the new emperor ascended the throne, with almost everyone in Chaoge, human and demon, present. And that's when he ended up drawing this thing.]
Nuwa was so angry that she added several more punctuation marks.
In particular, after Di Xin finished painting, he kept showing off in front of Kong Xuan, and shamelessly boasted: "My painting skills have greatly improved. This painting looks more like the goddess Nuwa than the statue above, and has more of the goddess Nuwa's charm."
At that moment, Nuwa, who was possessing the statue, almost jumped out of the statue and gave this rascal a tail of the loving care of the mother of humankind.
Unfortunately, a sage cannot usually reveal himself to the people, and Nuwa also did not want to appear before her believers for such a reason.
However, Di Xin's indecent behavior still aroused the criticism of everyone present. The demons on the side could not bear to see the goddess Nuwa being humiliated, so they immediately transformed into their original forms and charged at Di Xin.
