Chapter 65 Kong Xuan arrives the next morning, helping...
The next morning, Fu Li and Ling Zhuzi personally built a temporary reception office halfway up the mountain. They also set up many signposts starting from the foot of the mountain to ensure that fellow disciples who came to report to Mount Emei would not get lost.
As for the fact that the person didn't stay at the foot of the mountain at all and flew directly up the mountain?
They, the disciples of the Jie Sect, were simply careless, not ignorant of etiquette. They were asking for favors, so how could they not measure the mountain from the foot of the mountain when visiting?
Both of them are people supported by magic, so their efficiency in doing things is naturally not comparable to that of mortals or demons.
Fu Li was responsible for transporting the materials, while Ling Zhuzi used the knowledge he had learned about refining equipment and built three houses in just four hours. The houses did not conform to the architectural structure, but were very beautiful and sturdy.
After it was finished, Fu Li took him around the house twice and said with satisfaction, "I originally thought of building a temporary place first and then slowly building it up at another location later. I didn't expect you to do such a good job. I might as well use it as the official place."
She used local materials and selected a relatively flat, long stone from the mountains. She carried it to the left side of the door and pressed it hard. One-third of the stone sank into the rocks at her feet.
Lingzhuzi immediately followed suit, took out the demon-slaying sword, and with a few "swishes", he shaved the side facing outwards until it was flat and smooth.
His control over spiritual power was so perfect that he didn't need to use wax. He just used his sword to move the pen and wrote down the six ancient divine patterns of "Emeishan Reception Office" in no time.
"Well written!" Fu Li gave him a thumbs up and praised him generously.
Ling Zhuzi raised his chin proudly and said in a very smooth and smooth way, "Your idea is better."
Someone who didn't often praise others suddenly became eloquent, spouting sweet nothings. Fu Li had thought she wouldn't be used to it, but after experiencing it, she realized how could anyone not like this sweet and refreshing feeling?
She immediately burst into laughter and threw herself into Lingzhuzi's arms, rubbing her furry head against his chest.
Ling Zhuzi was startled and hurriedly put away the demon-slaying sword, scolding him without much deterrence: "Be careful, swords don't have eyes."
Fu Li didn't feel guilty at all, and said in a sweet voice, "But I believe in Lingzhuzi. No matter how sharp the sword is, as long as it's in your hands, it will definitely not hurt me."
Ling Zhuzi's lips curled up in an instant, and he raised his eyebrows proudly: "Of course."
He felt warm in his heart, with a familiar surge of emotions, but more intense than any previous time.
But before he could do anything, one of the rabbit demons Fu Li had arranged to inform him ran up, shouting, "Master, Master, a guest has arrived. He said his last name is Kong, and he's the second disciple of Duobao Zhenren from Jin'ao Island. He's here on his master's orders."
The two looked at each other in astonishment. Fu Li asked doubtfully, "Doesn't Master Master only have Senior Sister Huo Ling as his disciple?"
"Maybe he's a new recruit." Ling Zhuzi's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something, and reminded him, "Do you still remember Yuan Feng's son? He has been listening to the Tao under the Third Master for so long, and now he is his disciple, so he can be said to have completed his beginning and end."
Fu Li suddenly realized: "So it's him, the number one person under the Saint."
Ling Zhuzi's expression instantly turned grim, but since the rabbit demon who had reported the incident was still there, he didn't say anything. After Fu Li sent the rabbit demon off to greet the distinguished guest, he repeated his words in a sarcastic tone, "So it's him, the number one person under the Saint~"
Before Fu Li could say anything, he couldn't help but sneer, "You're just a peacock, born a little early and transformed a little early. How dare you claim to be the number one under the Saint? How arrogant!"
"Ah, this..." Fu Li was speechless.
She really couldn't explain it. This "number one person under the saint" was a saying from later generations, and it didn't even appear in the original novel "Investiture of the Gods".
But this world is obviously a derivative world of the Honghuang flow. In the past, Donghuang Taiyi held the Chaos Bell and dominated the three realms. Although Kong Xuan, who was born later, is still unknown, his ability must be great.
It was also because she trusted Lingzhuzi too much, was too fearless in front of him, and was used to being defenseless, so she blurted out the truth.
Now that she had pissed him off, what could she do? She had no choice but to go up and hug him and comfort him.
"That's all hearsay, I don't know if it's true or not. It's only in front of you that I dare to say anything. If it were anyone else, I'd have to be careful with my words, too."
With every word she spoke, the anger on Lingzhuzi's face lessened. By the end of her speech, he was smiling again, no longer unhappy.
But this was for Fu Li. He was still secretly unhappy with Kong Xuan, and thought that sooner or later he would find an opportunity to let Fu Li see who was more powerful!
Not long after, Kong Xuan came up, walking purely on his own two feet. After all, he was a Daluo Jinxian, so even walking on his own two feet, he was countless times faster than a mortal.
Fu Li quietly scratched Ling Zhuzi's palm, comforting him one last time before pulling him forward to greet him: "This...should I call you Junior Brother?"
Kong Xuan was wearing a colorful and brilliantly embroidered suit. He was tall, strong, with a face as sharp as a knife, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His bright pupils were slightly glowing with blue light. He was a very impactful handsome man.
Beautiful things always attract attention, and Fuli is no exception.
She took the opportunity to look at the other person with admiration, and felt that the flowers and plants in the mountains were more fragrant.
It is said that the most arrogant among the feathered people is the peacock, but the Kong Xuan in front of him has a dignified demeanor and humble brows. When he bowed, the arc of his waist was just right. He called them "senior brother, senior sister" without any reluctance even though their cultivation was not as good as his.
Fu Li suddenly understood why Master Duobao accepted him as his disciple.
——This is another etiquette standard for walking.
"Junior brother, no need to be so polite. Please come in." Fu Li raised her hand to support him lightly, then turned sideways to guide him to the reception area, which had not yet been set up. "This happened in a hurry, and I didn't have time to properly organize it. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
For someone who had etiquette ingrained in her bones, Fu Li subconsciously became even more polite. Ling Zhuzi's initial jealousy of her admiration for him vanished amidst this excessive politeness.
He very consciously helped Fuli entertain the guests, setting up seats, arranging teacups, and pouring nectar. Everything was done silently and just right, without stealing the limelight from Fuli at all.
But Kong Xuan did not ignore him at all, and nodded slightly in greeting every time he was entertained.
After a while, both of them felt that he was too polite and couldn't help but like him more.
Fu Li said apologetically: "We are short of manpower now, and we don't even have a cup of hot tea. We can only treat you to a cup of homemade nectar. Please don't think we are neglecting you."
"How could that be?" Kong Xuan smiled slightly, the curve of his lips not more or less. "It turns out that I was an uninvited guest. I should ask my brothers and sisters to forgive my sins."
Fu Li smiled and said, "We are all family, why bother talking about this? Master Master sent me here, but was there a decree?"
In fact, she was wondering in her heart: Kong Xuan had obviously just joined the sect. Even if there was something, the Holy Mother of Fire should be sent. Why was he sent here?
Kong Xuan said, "Senior Sister, you misunderstood. This is not the case. I have come here specifically to express my gratitude. My teacher has already told me that it was only thanks to you that I was saved by the elixir that day, otherwise my injuries would not have healed so quickly. If you have any requests, I will definitely be of service."
Originally, Fu Li didn't take the matter seriously. She just did it out of humanitarianism and tried her best to save a person she had no grudge against.
Now that someone came to apologize, she felt embarrassed.
"You are too polite, Junior Brother. However, it is just a small favor, I really don't deserve it."
Kong Xuan said seriously, "It's just a piece of cake for Senior Sister, but it's a great favor to me. I heard from Senior Sister Huo Ling that Mount Emei has been very busy lately, so I came all the way here to listen to Senior Sister Hou's orders. I hope Senior Sister will understand my sincerity."
Now that things have come to this, if she delays any further, it would seem hypocritical.
Therefore, Fu Li nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Junior brother, do you know how to control water?"
"Water control?" Kong Xuan was stunned for once.
This matter was obviously beyond his expectations and beyond his ability.
In some ways, he resembled Duobao Zhenren, for example, he didn't like to talk nonsense. After a brief pause, he said, "If Senior Sister wants to eliminate the water monster, I'm happy to help."
He was not bragging. In the entire Shu land, or even in the entire prehistoric world, no water monster could be his match.
Water control is a technical job. He said he didn't know how to do it, but Fu Li didn't get disappointed. He asked, "Do you know anyone who is talented in this field?"
When Kong Xuan heard this, a look of obvious hesitation appeared on his face. Fu Li knew that this was specially for her to see.
"Junior brother, just say whatever you want. I'm looking for talent here regardless of background." Fu Li gave the other party a reassurance.
Kong Xuan finally relaxed his expression and said, "I do know someone here who is very proficient in flood control. However, he is one of the ten great saints of the demon clan heaven, and he has karma on his shoulders, so many people don't want to get involved with him."
Fu Li asked, "Who are you talking about?"
No one present was a fool. Kong Xuan understood that she knew the other party was the Demon Saint. She still asked who it was specifically because she really didn't care about the other party's identity or was afraid of the other party's background.
He was genuinely happy for his friend, and his face showed some of that, with the corners of his lips curling up even higher. He slowly opened his lips and uttered the name word by word.
"Ji Meng."
"Ji Meng?" Fu Li looked at Ling Zhuzi with a questioning look on his face.
Ling Zhuzi said, "Ji Meng has a dragon's head and a human body. His hands are like eagle claws, and his arms are covered with feathers. He can summon violent winds and rainstorms whenever he waves his hands or walks. The Demon Emperor once appointed him the Rain Master, to guard the vast rivers and streams."
Kong Xuan added: “When the demon clan’s heavenly court was flourishing, although they agreed with the witch clan to divide the heaven and earth, many demons could not reach the thirty-three heavens.
Moreover, the Wu tribe has no soul and a sparse population. If the environment where they live is harsh, they often choose to move directly instead of thinking about governance.
Therefore, whenever a river overflowed, it was often the Heavenly Officials dispatched by the Demon Court who came forward to control it. Ji Meng, Jiuying, and the Demon Master Kunpeng all served under Emperor Jun's orders to control floods.
Fu Li nodded: What I mean is that Ji Meng has experience.
She suddenly thought of Bai Ze who lived in Qingcheng Mountain and asked.
"Bai Ze?"
When mentioning this person, even Kong Xuan couldn't help but frown and said calmly, "This person has always been known for his wisdom, but it's because he is too smart that he tends to get stuck in a rut."
