As soon as the waiter's call ended, the hall, which had been filled with laughter and chatter, fell silent instantly.
I followed silently behind You, keeping my eyes straight ahead and being a good maid.
You walked through the crowd and sat in the main seat of the hall. Those below the stage rose to greet him, saying, "Greetings, Lord Sun and Moon."
No need for formalities.
I stood behind You, facing everyone, so I could see her all at once.
I glanced around and, apart from the people from the Abyss, I actually recognized a few of the envoys in the audience.
Hell sent one familiar judge with a red pen, and the other four were familiar faces but I couldn't remember who they were. I knew all three of the immortals. I didn't expect Luo to send Zhuque. I really didn't know any of the five monks from the West. Monks are a blind spot for me. Guixu sent the fewest people, only three. Wu also came, and there were two others I didn't know.
After several rounds of drinks, the judge in a red official robe spoke first, "Lord Sun and Moon, we heard from the people of the Abyss that you are Emperor Jun, the elder brother of the Eastern Emperor?"
One of the beings in the Ruins couldn't help but interject, "Nonsense, my emperor's elder brother, Di Jun, died ten thousand years ago..." He stopped before he could finish speaking.
I shifted my gaze to Wu. If I wasn't mistaken, it was Wu who had privately reminded this person.
Unexpectedly, as soon as my gaze fell on Wu's voice, Wu looked up and our eyes met. I hurriedly looked away, but for some reason, I felt that Wu had already recognized me.
"I am Di Jun."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Di Jun is the elder brother of Donghuang Liu Lieyu. His abilities are no less than Donghuang's. The Heavenly Court today was created by Di Jun. The demon god of Guixu was also once Di Jun's subordinate.
"You...you're talking nonsense." The person who spoke was the one who had just said that Di Jun had died ten thousand years ago. This person was muscular and had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
You coldly glanced at the man who looked like a reincarnation of Bao Zheng, even the judge seemed a few shades paler than him.
Wu took a sip of wine, raised his eyes to look at You, "The Sun and Moon Lord and I used to look quite alike. As for the legendary ancient Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, I have never seen him. I have only heard that the ancient emperor had a companion magic artifact, the River Chart and the Luo River Book. I wonder where this magic artifact is now?"
The audience nodded in agreement.
I glanced at You with concern. I remembered that You had mentioned the Hetu and Luoshu before, but he had already embedded the Luoshu into the abyss. How could he take it out and display it now?
“Here.” A soft, ethereal voice came from above, as she raised her right hand, the golden array on her palm radiating light.
With a gentle toss, the golden array gradually enlarged in the center of the hall.
The Hetu Luoshu and the Donghuang Bell share the same origin and both radiate a golden light.
The crowd below craned their necks to see.
The Hetu diagram slowly rotated in the center of the hall. Suddenly, it flashed, and everyone felt as if they were in a vast starry sea. The points arranged in several arrays on the Hetu diagram were constantly changing, containing endless mysteries, and surging stellar power erupted from it.
Everyone was amazed by the mystery of the Hetu, and for a moment no one spoke. Everyone was busy looking at the mysteries on the Hetu and Luoshu. If they could understand even a little bit of it, it would not be impossible for them to become famous. After all, Fuxi's Bagua diagram was also inspired by the Hetu and Luoshu.
"Is this thing real?" You's voice was soft, yet it struck a chord in the hearts of everyone in the hall.
"It's true."
"It is the Hetu and Luoshu."
"I can't be wrong."
Seeing that everyone agreed, You turned his right hand and put away the Hetu and Luoshu.
Everyone looked longingly at the Hetu Luoshu on You's right hand until it disappeared.
"If you are Di Jun, why have you been living here for so many years?" The usually calm and silent monk suddenly asked.
This time, no one on the field questioned You's identity.
I took a special look at Xiao Hei, who had been skeptical, and saw that his face was turning pale and then red.
You glanced indifferently at the monk who had asked the question, "For no reason."
This left the senior monk speechless.
You herself is not a talkative person, and the atmosphere at the scene was entirely regulated by You's subordinates.
Perhaps the audience had gotten the answers they wanted, because no one asked any more questions.
I was standing there somewhat listlessly when I suddenly heard You's voice, "Tired?"
I glanced at You sitting there in surprise. From my angle, I could only see You's background. I replied in private, "A little."
"Then let's go."
Are we leaving already?
You has always been a very proactive person. As soon as I finished talking to him, I saw You holding up a glass and saying, "I'd like to toast everyone."
Everyone picked up their cups.
After finishing his drink, You placed the glass back on the table and said, "I'll take my leave now. Please enjoy yourselves."
After speaking, You stood up and left through the private passage on the stage, while I followed closely behind her.
After we left the palace where the banquet was held and returned to the inner hall, I dared to speak with You.
"You, how did you manage to produce the Hetu and Luoshu in the main hall just now?"
"What's wrong?" You stopped and waited for me, then took my hand and continued walking leisurely.
"Didn't you say before that you would embed the Hetu Luoshu into the abyss?"
You nodded slightly. "Yes, but it's still easy to get it."
"So you've put it back now?" My curiosity about the Hetu Luoshu was no less than that of the people in the main hall just now.
"yes."
You's answer was concise and to the point.
"You, what do you think Liu Lieyu would do if he knew you were Di Jun?"
You sneered, "If he knew, he should understand that it's best not to act rashly."
"But I think he's even less likely to let us go."
You looked deep in thought, and after a long while said, "Leave it to me, you don't need to worry."
Sigh, I sighed softly. You always takes on everything so that I don't have to worry.
“You, what do you think these delegations are here for? I don’t believe it’s just to deepen understanding and promote peace.”
"Xin'er, the first half of what you said is quite right."
"What?"
You used to hold my hand with one hand, but now she uses both. Her left hand holds my hand in front of her chest, and her right hand gently pats my palm. "They came here to get to know each other better."
"ah?"
"The Abyss possesses my River Chart and Luo Book. Even Liu Lieyu and Wu's magical mirror cannot fathom the Abyss in the slightest. I think that after learning that we were in the Abyss, Liu Lieyu immediately gathered his troops to prepare to attack us. At this time, someone must have come to persuade him, and I guess it was Wu, who advised Liu Lieyu that he knew nothing about the situation in the Abyss and that it was not advisable to go there rashly."
"But they still came, didn't they?"
"Liu Lieyu must have listened to Wu's advice. Wu must have thought that after his extensive research, he would have some results and be able to see the abyss again. It's just a pity that Wu has not succeeded. Liu Lieyu is not the kind of person who sits and waits for death."
