Chapter 143: Winning over Lu Ya and Nuwa, the goddess of status...
Nuwa holds a high status, and Haotian is the master of the three realms, so naturally there is no need for him to welcome the other master of the three realms, the Queen Mother.
However, both the Immortal of the South Pole and Marshal Tianpeng worked in the Heavenly Court, and the Underworld was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. Both of them, including Lu Ya, went out to greet them.
Apart from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, this is the first time that Fu Li has faced a public official from the underworld.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, she noticed Lu Ya was in a trance, so she paid some attention to him. When they entered the door, she saw Lu Ya about to kick the threshold, so she whispered a warning: "Brother Lu Ya, watch your step."
Lu Ya suddenly came to his senses and subconsciously raised his foot higher to avoid the embarrassment of kicking over the threshold of heaven.
He was not afraid of the Heavenly Court, but he was afraid of embarrassing himself.
"Thank you, Yuanjun." He thanked him in a low voice. Fu Li smiled and nodded, indicating that it was just a small favor and nothing to worry about.
After entering the Pixiang Hall, the Queen Mother paid her respects to the Nuwa Saint, and Fuli paid her respects to the Saint and the Emperor of Heaven, giving Haotian enough face.
Haotian already had a favorable impression of Fuli, feeling she was different from the other disciples of the three religions. Today, they had experienced another misunderstanding, and now that it had been resolved, his favorable impression of her had doubled.
At least Fu Li was respectful to him, and he wouldn't think she was being pretentious or had ulterior motives.
He was at a loss as to how to respond to Nuwa, so Fu Li brought the Queen Mother over for him. Although Haotian couldn't thank her because the victim was still there, he remembered the kindness in his heart.
Nuwa sat at the head of the table, flanked by Haotian and Yaochi, with Nanji Xianweng and Lu Ya sitting below them. Taibai Jinxing stood beneath the altar steps, awaiting orders, while Marshal Tianpeng stood behind Nanji Xianweng.
There's nothing we can do about it. It's because he's of a lower generation and not very famous.
Just like Fu Li, although her generation was not high, she had been the Human King and had enough reputation. No matter where she went, no one dared to treat her as an ordinary third-generation disciple.
Even now that the saint is in person, she still has a seat in the Hall of Fragrance.
Fu Li was about to sit down below Nanji Xianweng when Lu Ya suddenly said, "Yuanjun, please sit here."
This was not a big deal, and it was not worth offending the other person. Fu Li walked over and pretended that she had no intention of going to the other side.
After the Queen Mother arrived, she mediated between Nuwa and the Emperor of Heaven.
She is a down-to-earth person. Over the years, she has cultivated many female fairies with good cultivation and character. Saint Nuwa thinks highly of her and is willing to give her some face.
With her mediating, at least Saint Nuwa was no longer aggressive, which greatly relieved Haotian's psychological pressure.
The three of them were discussing important matters at the top, while Fu Li was trying to win over Lu Ya at the bottom.
"Brother Lu Ya, I saw you were in a trance just now. Was it because of the Golden Crow?"
Lu Ya had a favorable impression of her because of her reminder just now, and since the matter was being discussed openly, there was nothing to hide, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it is for the Golden Crow."
Fu Li looked surprised. "Could it be that the Ten Golden Crows of Heaven are really connected to the Golden Crow Prince of the demon race?"
This was a very meaningful statement. Lu Ya's expression changed and he asked, "Do you know anything, fellow Daoist?"
"I don't know the details, but..." She looked a little embarrassed, "It's just that earlier, the Ten Golden Crows, under the order of the Emperor of Heaven, soared into the sky for ten days, drying up the rivers and seas on earth, and I happened to see them."
She didn't finish what she said, but Lu Ya had already guessed it.
His heart skipped a beat and he asked anxiously, "Are they injured?"
Fu Li said, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury. I also know that they are acting on orders and have no choice. So I only injured and captured them, and did not damage their foundation."
Lu Ya suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Fu Li Dang Zhenren was kind and compassionate. He said sincerely, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. Lu Ya owes you a favor."
At this moment, the three above finally reached an agreement. Haotian winked at Taibai Jinxing, and Taibai Jinxing called Marshal Tianpeng, and the two of them brought the nine golden crows over together.
Feeling a familiar breath approaching, Lu Ya could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up and took two steps towards the back hall. Only then did he realize that he was on someone else's territory and had to hold back.
When the Golden Crows followed Taibai Jinxing into the back hall, Lu Ya looked at them one by one with excitement. His expression suddenly changed and he asked, "Why are there only nine? Didn't they say it would be divided into ten?"
Haotian smiled bitterly and said, "You'll have to ask Fuli Yuanjun about that."
Meeting Lu Ya's sharp gaze, Fu Li cursed Haotian in her heart, her face full of confusion: "We only caught nine at the time. Didn't the tenth one escape? Why didn't he return to Heaven?"
Haotian sighed and shook his head, saying, "Xiao Shi hasn't returned yet."
Hearing the name "Xiao Shi", Lu Ya's expression was complicated, and his eyes were full of nostalgia when he looked at the nine little golden crows.
He thought of his brothers. When Dayi's magic arrow shot over, it was his brothers who protected Xiao Shi together, allowing him to escape.
Tens of thousands of years later, the same thing happened again. Fortunately, Fuli's attack was not as ruthless as Houyi's, and he only injured but did not kill him.
Otherwise, how guilty would the "Xiao Shi" who escaped be!
Fu Li speculated, "Could it be that the Ten Golden Crows saw me coming to Heaven and that's why they didn't dare return? I wonder if there's any way for the Ninth and Tenth Princes to communicate with each other?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the nine little golden crows all looked alert and said nothing.
Fu Li looked at the Nanji Immortal, who nodded slightly and said to the Nine Golden Crows, "I guarantee that Fu Li will never hurt you again. The situation is urgent now, so you should quickly get the Ten Golden Crows back."
The nine Golden Crows looked at each other, but no one looked at the Emperor of Heaven. Fu Li saw this and concluded that although the Ten Golden Crows had been resurrected with Haotian's blood, they were not close to Haotian.
After the discussion, the Big Golden Crow stood upright with his eyes closed, muttering something, and a sound wave imperceptible to mortal ears came out of his mouth.
After a moment, he paused, pricked up his ears as if listening to something, and then emitted a burst of sound waves as before.
After repeating this several times, he glanced at Fu Li and said to Hao Tian, "My tenth brother is outside the South Heavenly Gate. Your Majesty, please tell the gatekeepers to let them pass."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions became strange: it turned out that the reason why the Ten Golden Crows did not come back was not because they were afraid that Fu Li would not dare to come back, but because the Heavenly Generals guarding the gate refused to let him in without the order of the Emperor of Heaven.
Lu Ya sneered and said nothing, but his words were more powerful than anything else.
Haotian's face turned red and white. With Nuwa in charge, he couldn't do anything to Lu Ya. He suppressed his anger and ordered Taibai Jinxing as if nothing had happened, "Go there in person and bring Xiao Shi in."
"Yes." Taibai Jinxing responded and left.
The atmosphere in the Pixiang Hall was strange and solemn. The Nuwa Saint sat in the hall with her eyes closed and remained silent; the Nanjixiang Weng smiled kindly, as if he was unaware; Marshal Tianpeng still had his head lowered, and no one knew whether he was distracted or trying to hold back a smile.
Lu Ya simply ignored Haotian and spoke to Fu Li in a voice that was neither too high nor too low for everyone present to hear: "I misunderstood Yuanjun earlier. I hope Yuanjun will forgive me."
This is a slap in the face to Haotian, really a close attack.
Fu Li smiled faintly: "It's okay, ignorance is not a crime."
It is impossible for a person to please everyone all the time, and many times he will offend one party.
Obviously, between Haotian and Lu Ya, she chose to offend Haotian.
Who made Haotian, the Emperor of Heaven, an empty shell?
Lu Ya holds the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen in his hands, and is a real judge. His status in the underworld is second only to Goddess Pingxin and is on par with the Emperor of Fengdu.
Furthermore, he has the Saint Nuwa behind him, and the great saints of the demon clan also have some affection for him.
Comparing the two, everyone knows how to choose.
Haotian's face became even worse, but no one cared. Everyone was waiting for the Ten Golden Crows to come to the palace.
Taibai Jinxing was still very fast, and soon he brought the somewhat embarrassed Ten Golden Crows over. He suddenly saw Fu Li sitting in the hall, and was shocked and turned to leave.
"Xiao Shi, come back." The Great Golden Crow called out to him, "This is all a misunderstanding. Fuli Yuanjun is not here to look for us brothers."
After hearing what their eldest brother said, the Ten Golden Crows breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to salute the Emperor of Heaven.
As for the other people present, except for the Immortal of the South Pole and Marshal Tianpeng, the Ten Golden Crows had never seen them before and did not know how to address them, so they just bowed silently one by one.
Lu Ya saw this, his heart aching. He walked gently to his side and gently reminded him, "The one at the top is Nuwa, the one on the left is the Queen Mother, and the one on the left is Fuli Yuanjun."
The Ten Golden Crows looked at him with some doubt. It was clearly the first time he had seen this person, but he felt a sense of intimacy from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but believe him and greeted him again with the title.
Nuwa said, "Now that the ten golden crows have arrived, I will take them back to Mount Buzhou. Heavenly Emperor and Queen Mother, please stay."
This was the condition that the three of them had just agreed upon. Even though Haotian was reluctant, he didn't dare to stop it.
Nuwa and Lu Ya left with the Ten Golden Crows. Before leaving, Lu Ya gave Fu Li a jade token and invited her to visit the underworld.
The reason why Fu Li approached Lu Ya was to have an excuse to enter and exit the underworld. Now that his goal has been achieved, he naturally won't be polite.
"How about we add each other's contact information? When I'm going, I'll send you a message in advance to let you know so I don't rush over and be impolite."
Lu Ya looked embarrassed: "You don't know, Yuan Jun, the spiritual energy of the underworld and the prehistoric world has the same origin but different species. A mobile phone that can be used in the prehistoric world will not work in the underworld."
Fu Li was slightly startled, nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "When I go to the underworld, can I take a few more people with me?"
Professional matters need to be done by professionals. Although the first mobile phone in Honghuang was jointly created by the saints of the three religions, the subsequent upgraded products were all developed under the leadership of Luo Xuan.
If you want the mobile phone to work in the underworld, Luo Xuan will have to bring professional technicians to study it.
Lu Ya nodded and said calmly, "As long as you have this jade token, you can bring as many people as you want."
He glanced at Nuwa, who had already walked out of the Pixiang Hall, and said reluctantly, "Yuanjun, Lu Ya is leaving."
After saying that, he looked at her deeply again, turned around and chased after her.
