Chapter 95 Hong Xin and Ao Jia "Sister Ji Meng,...
"Sister Ji Meng, you're finally back!"
Fu Li immediately forgot about the two people who came to visit her, greeted them warmly, and shook Ji Meng's hand tightly.
When Ji Meng left, Ling Zhuzi had not yet returned, and the water vein map brought back from the Wahuang Palace was also in her hands.
She originally thought that Ji Meng would come back in a few days and take the water vein map away.
But unexpectedly, the other party seemed to not need me, and was gone for a long time, and only came back today.
The two exchanged greetings for a while, and Fu Li then comforted the young and strong men who had gone with them, and asked them to go back to see their families first, and then he would hold a banquet in Songfenglin in the evening to welcome them.
The people who followed Ji Meng were all tanned, but their bodies were stronger than before. Among them were two younger men, only seventeen or eighteen years old when they left, who had now grown considerably taller.
They had been away from home for a long time and missed their relatives very much. After bidding farewell to Fuli, they left in a hurry.
Fu Li took Ji Meng and left. Ling Zhuzi lagged behind by two steps. He looked down at his empty hands and gave Ji Meng a sullen look.
If Lingzhuzi hadn't known that she was still of great use to Fuli, he would have pushed her aside this morning.
He silently recited a few words in his heart: Respect the virtuous and humble, respect the virtuous and humble, respect the virtuous and humble...
After reciting it seven or eight times, he finally calmed himself down and said to He Qing, who was also following behind him, hesitant to speak, "Who is this person? Have you seen him?"
Seeing that someone finally paid attention to him, He Qing breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, "I've never seen them. My friends and I were playing a war game at the entrance of the village, and those two people suddenly emerged from the water without a trace of water on their bodies. We were all shocked."
He Qing was the bravest. He clapped his hands and signaled his companions to step back. He then stepped forward and asked the man and woman, "Who are you two? What are you doing in our Jinjiang Department?"
Probably because they were children, the boy and girl didn't pay much attention to them and refused to tell each other's names.
The young man said, "Little girl, we are here to look for your leader. Go and inform him."
Although He Qing felt that they were impolite and didn't want to pay attention to them, he was afraid that it would ruin Fu Li's plan, so he agreed to report it.
However, she did not invite the two in, but left them at the door. She also told the warrior guarding the gate to keep a close eye on it, and then she returned with her friends.
"A man and a woman came from the water?" Ling Zhuzi had guessed something and said to He Qing, "Don't worry about it. Go play with your friends. I'll go meet them."
It was a good opportunity to avoid Ji Meng so that she wouldn't have to see Fu Li asking her about her well-being, which would make her feel suffocated.
"Hey, I'm going to play!" He Qing turned and ran. After running a few steps, he remembered something and turned around and shouted, "It's right at the gate of the village. I didn't let them in."
Ling Zhuzi only nodded slightly and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already outside the village gate.
There stood two young men, a boy and a girl. The boy wore a scarlet robe with tight sleeves and a cross collar, while the girl wore a golden waist-length palace dress. Both of their clothes were embroidered with a cyan five-clawed dragon, which, to those who knew the situation, clearly indicated their identities.
Lingzhuzi had seen the girl before, and although the boy had never met her, he could guess it.
Their cultivation levels were far lower than his, and they didn't notice the spiritual fluctuations when he performed the escape technique. Only when he was standing right in front of them did they look over with alarm.
The girl was none other than Hong Xin, the second princess of the East China Sea. When she saw him coming, her expression immediately changed.
She hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of the young man beside her, but didn't dare to discuss anything with him in front of Lingzhuzi. After taking a look, she stepped forward and greeted him obediently: "So the Immortal Lingzhuzi is here too. Donghai Hongxin is honored."
The young man was a little impatient at first, but when he heard the word "Lingzhuzi", his expression immediately froze and his cheeks twitched twice.
He was actually quite reluctant, but he knew Lingzhuzi was not someone to be trifled with, so he suppressed all his thoughts and went forward to pay his respects: "Aojia of the East Sea, greetings to the Immortal."
Ling Zhuzi didn't look at them straight in the eye, but asked with a squinting gaze, "Are you coming out of seclusion?"
The two looked at each other, Ao Jia showed some resentment, but Hong Xin suppressed it with her eyes.
Fearing he might act impulsively, Hong Xin gestured for him to step back and stepped forward to address the situation. "I just emerged from seclusion yesterday. I learned from my father and mother that Immortal Fuli had come to my aid and requested a master from the Chan Sect to forge weapons for my brother and me. Xiaolong and I didn't dare to delay and rushed here early this morning."
Lingzhuzi looked up at the rising sun. It was quite early.
Seeing that they were quite positive, Ling Zhuzi said, "Come in with me first. Li'er has some important things to do and doesn't have time to see you for the time being."
After saying that, he turned and left without any intention of politely inviting them in.
Ao Jia finally couldn't stand such an arrogant attitude. He took out two short spears from his sleeves, shouted angrily, "Look out, little thief, the spears!" and rushed forward.
Lingzhuzi didn't even turn around, the Hun Tian Ling flew out at will and directly tied Ao Jia up like a dumpling.
He kept walking and said to Hongxin, "You carry him."
Hongxin looked down at her brother who refused to listen and sighed heavily, but didn't dare to say anything more. She just picked up the brother who was tied up in a ball and hurried to chase Lingzhuzi.
"Let me go! Second sister, please let me go!"
Seeing that he still didn't know his place at this point, Hong Xin became a little annoyed and said irritably, "Brother, this magic weapon belongs to someone else, how can I control it? You'd better behave yourself, or you'll suffer more."
She finally understood why her elder brother had better qualifications, but her father and mother only discussed important matters with her.
Long before leaving the East China Sea, the Dragon King, the Dragon Queen, and Hong Xin had repeatedly told Ao Jia that Lingzhuzi was not only extremely powerful, but also did not care about anyone's face.
In other words, the Four Seas Dragon Clan showed no mercy in front of Lingzhuzi.
Before meeting Lingzhuzi, Hongxin was actually hoping for luck, thinking that it would be best if the God of Killing was not there.
Although Fu Li was cunning and sly, that was only in the realm of business. Besides that, the Dragon King, the Dragon Queen, and the Second Princess, Hong Xin, all had a very good impression of her, believing her to be someone who could be discussed with anyone.
Ao Jia agreed verbally at that time, but Hong Xin could see that he didn't really care.
When Lingzhuzi caused trouble in the East China Sea, Aojia was not at home and did not witness Lingzhuzi's power with his own eyes.
He was also reckless and arrogant, and was used to being flattered by the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the sea. He always felt that it was because of his absence that Lingzhuzi was able to wreak havoc in the East China Sea.
At that time, Hong thought: Let him learn a lesson, so that he can truly see how powerful that evil star is, and then he will know that the pot is made of iron.
But unexpectedly, he had been defeated by someone in one move, but he still didn't know his place.
Ling Zhuzi led the two to his room and told them to stay there. After he left, he set up a barrier and went to the back row of houses to look for Fu Li.
When I passed by Fu Li's house just now, as expected, the door was locked and there was no sign of living people inside. It was obvious that she was still with Ji Meng.
But it has been so long, and I think all the words of concern have been said. It would be a good opportunity for him to go over and give Fu Li an excuse to leave early.
With this thought in mind, Lingzhuzi's steps were extremely brisk, and an aura called "joy" emanated from his whole body.
But when he finally found Ji Meng, he saw that the two men had not entered the house, but had set up a table in the open space in front of the house. Many animal skins were scattered at Ji Meng's feet, and there was an unfolded one on the table, with a water vein diagram drawn on it in all directions.
Lingzhuzi recognized it at a glance. That photo was not the one he brought out from the palace.
There is only one possibility, that is, Ji Meng painted it himself while visiting various places over the past year.
This person is indeed a person with real ability. Lingzhuzi is much more pleasing to her and decides not to bother with her for taking away all of Fu Li's attention as soon as she came back.
He walked over quietly, got a four-legged stool from the house, and sat quietly beside Fu Li without disturbing their business.
But Ji Meng's cultivation was profound, and he had already noticed him approaching. He glanced at him lightly and spoke faster, "...Build a weir from here to here. It will facilitate irrigation during the dry season, and slow the water flow during the flood season to prevent flooding."
Fu Li thought for a moment, nodded, and praised: "Sister, you are indeed a water conservancy master. The plan is perfect."
As for how she knew?
Ji Meng's plan is almost identical to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System built by Li Bing in later times. Even if there are some differences, it is due to the changes in the water veins over time.
She was completely relieved about Ji Meng and said with a smile, "Next, we should eliminate all the water monsters in Shuzhong, so that we can focus on water conservancy projects."
Ji Meng glanced at Ling Zhuzi and pleaded, "Sister Fuli, leave the task of eliminating the water monster to me."
It's not that she didn't trust Lingzhuzi's ability, but that she trusted him too much.
In her opinion, none of the water monsters causing trouble in various places in Shu can match Lingzhuzi.
But Lingzhuzi never showed mercy to the rebellious monsters. After all, she was once the great saint of the monster clan, and she still wanted to fight for a way to survive for those water monsters.
Since she had taken the initiative to take on the important task, Fu Li had no reason to refuse, so she immediately said, "Then I'll trouble Sister Ji Meng."
At this point, Fu Li suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Oh, right, I have something to give you."
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her right palm, and the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag appeared in her palm and was directly delivered to Ji Meng's eyes.
The Xuanyuan Water Controlling Flag was originally a magic weapon of the demon clan. As one of the ten demon saints and the confidant of Emperor Jun, Ji Meng naturally recognized this innate spiritual treasure.
She was startled at first and asked, "Where did you get this flag?"
Then he realized what Fu Li meant and pointed at himself in astonishment: "You mean, you want to give it to me?"
"Yeah." Fu Li nodded and said frankly, "To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to give it away, but thinking that this flag can only play its greatest role in flood control in your hands, I decided to give it to you."
Ji Meng looked at her deeply and didn't say much. He took the flag silently, refined it simply on the spot, and marked it with his own mark.
Right now, she needed merit the most, and the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag was indeed very useful for flood control. Fu Li gave her the flag as a token of her willingness to not compete with her for the merit.
She remembered this kindness and would definitely repay it if she had the chance in the future.
Seeing her so straightforward, Fu Li admired her even more, so she told her about how Bai Ze's little demon spied on Mount Emei but was caught and killed by Ling Zhuzi.
Ji Meng was silent for a moment, his eyes a little cold: "Sure enough, it was Bai Ze who took away the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag."
She did not say much about the old case of the demon clan, and Fu Li did not ask. She also said goodbye very considerately, giving her time to refine the magic weapon alone.
