Chapter 328: Coming to Apologize, Twin Lotuses
Gong Mengbi handed over the jade box in his hand without saying anything. The jade box was full of spiritual energy, and the touch was clear and cool, like touching a spring.
Qiantang Jun opened the jade box and saw that it was filled with Yuehua Dan, which was round and lovely, with clear light, and was a rare treasure.
The old Dragon King naturally didn't want such items, but for a junior like Gong Mengbi, it was indeed something he could show off.
Jewels and jade are more suitable for girls.
The old dragon king handed the Moonlight Pill to Princess Lingyi, and Princess Lingyi's eyes lit up. She took out one and played with it in her hand, saying, "It's like the moon is in my hand."
Qiantang Jun became alert again and asked, "You little fox, why are you suddenly here to give me gifts?"
Gong Mengbi bowed and apologized, saying, "I'm not here to give you a gift, I'm here to apologize."
Qian Tang Jun asked curiously, "What crime are you asking for?"
Gong Mengbi then said, "Master, didn't you go to Jinhua a while ago? I secretly taught the people of Tangxi the method of offering sacrifices to the gods, asking them to worship the Dragon King, which alarmed you."
Qiantang Jun suddenly understood, smiled, and waved his hand, saying, "What kind of crime is this? I'm not a human king, so why would I be so particular? Not only are you innocent, but you've actually done something meritorious. The little dragon from Wujiang has violated the laws of heaven and will soon be slain on the Dragon Scaling Platform. If you hadn't had the people report him, he would have committed those crimes and I would have been accused of lax discipline."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Master-uncle is indeed upright and incorruptible. No wonder the people praise him."
Qiantang Jun said: "Stop flattering me. I'm afraid you didn't come here just for this, did you?"
Gong Mengbi smiled awkwardly, "I have also transformed into Shuiyue, lurking in the Wujiang Water Palace, collecting evidence of the Wujiang Water God's crimes."
Qiantang Jun looked at him, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, I knew it was you. You still have some conscience and didn't take away the Wujiang River Map."
Gong Mengbi said, "I can't hide it from my uncle."
Qiantang Jun asked, "You have no grudge against the Wujiang River God, so why did you get involved?"
Gong Mengbi said, "It's not that we don't have hatred. Our hatred is very deep. The Tangxi Water God is the red-feathered snake you saw. He is my close friend."
Gong Mengbi bowed and said, "But my uncle is wise. The Wujiang River God brought about his own destruction, and it has nothing to do with me."
Qian Tang Jun suddenly realized and snorted coldly, "So you're trying to speak up for your friend. No wonder. You think I'm an old stubborn person who doesn't understand the situation. How could I blame you for this?"
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "That's good."
Qian Tang Jun asked again: "These are all trivial matters. You wouldn't come all the way here just for this, right?"
Gong Mengbi coughed and said, "Actually, I came to ask my uncle for information."
Qian Tangjun showed an expression that said, "As expected, go ahead and tell me. Stop keeping me in suspense."
Gong Mengbi sighed and said, "It's a long story."
He started from the beginning, telling about how he and the red-feathered snake Chen Xi subdued the disaster demon in Tangxi last year.
Qiantang Jun nodded and said, "I remember that the water spirit of the E'nu River once accused the little dragon of the Wu River of allowing the evil spirit to harm people and failing to protect the peace of the Wu River. I warned the little dragon at that time and fined him ten years of his salary, but I didn't expect the little dragon to return to his old ways."
Gong Mengbi said, "The matter of the calamity demon is very strange. I only found out a few days ago that Madam Huayin, the concubine of the Wujiang River God, was the heir of the Wuxiang Sect. I'm afraid Madam Huayin was involved in the calamity demon incident back then."
"Wuxiang Sect." Qiantang Jun frowned and said, "Who told you these things? You are of low cultivation, so it's best not to get involved."
Gong Mengbi said, "Fairy Qingyao told me this. It's not that I want to get involved, but I've been targeted by the Wuxiang Sect and will run into them sooner or later."
Gong Mengbi then told Qiantang Jun that when he was killing Madam Huayin, the old devil of Wuxiang Sect had cast a secret curse on him.
Qian Tang Jun snorted coldly, and a few sparks almost flew out of his nose. "An old demon with many years of experience attacks a youngster. He is indeed a creeper from the gutter."
Gong Mengbi said, "The Wujiang River God and Jinhua Governor Zhang Wenyu are both involved in this plot. My uncle has the Wujiang River God interrogated, so I wanted to see what's going on."
Qiantang Jun knocked on the jade table and said, "Lingyi, go get the boy's file."
Princess Lingyi smiled at Gong Mengbi and turned to get the file.
Gong Mengbi smiled back, and suddenly saw Qiantang Jun looking at him warily.
Gong Mengbi didn't understand what was going on, but when he looked at Princess Lingyi's back, he suddenly understood. He quickly turned his eyes away and stood still like a stone.
Satisfied, Qiantang Jun turned the conversation back to the Wujiang Water God, saying, "That child from Wujiang is not only naughty but also foolish. He's unaware he's been possessed by a Yin demon. He borrowed the witch's magic lamp, thinking it could refine his incense and distracting thoughts and quickly reach the fourth level. Little did he know that once the magic lamp lit, his demonic thoughts would never cease. The magic lamp refined his incense and distracting thoughts, secretly transforming them into Yin demons, which then used them to treat him. If he hadn't experienced this, he would have transformed himself into a dragon demon."
Gong Mengbi was alert in his heart: "The evil way is spreading, how terrible it is."
Qian Tang Jun said: "Although he will now go to the Dragon Slashing Platform and take a knife, it is still better than the ending of being transformed into a dragon demon."
Gong Mengbi said, "That witch first borrowed the dragon energy of the Wujiang River God to elevate the Jinhua prefect's fortune, connecting his fate to the Wujiang River God. Then, she took the opportunity to refine the Wujiang River God into a god-demon. Not only did she sever her earthly ties, but she also gained a helping hand. What a clever plan."
Qiantang Jun sneered and said, "That witch is also pitiful and doesn't even realize it."
Gong Mengbi was curious and asked, "What does this mean?"
Qiantang Jun said, "The Exorcism Court interrogated the Jinhua prefect and discovered his unusual fate. He and the witch were twin lotus flowers from the Heavenly King's Taiqing Pond, destined to be reincarnated as human beings and cultivate to attain enlightenment. Brothers and sisters for three lifetimes, rising and falling together, they should have both achieved enlightenment in this lifetime. But now, that old demon has intervened, claiming to be terminating his earthly ties and taking his life, but in reality, he has broken his original immortal destiny and cast himself into the demonic realm."
"Zhang Wenyu's fate is broken, and his death is not far away. He will continue to reincarnate and sink into depravity. No one knows whether he will have the chance to achieve enlightenment. And if the witch doesn't wake up and is bewitched by the old devil, she will turn from an immortal into a demon, and she won't even have an afterlife."
Gong Mengbi was shocked and looked at Qiantang Jun.
Qian Tangjun's eyes held a warning as he said, "That old devil is thinking of you. You must be even more devoted to the immortal path and cultivate your Dao heart. Don't slack off."
Gong Mengbi kept it in mind.
Gong Mengbi asked again, "I heard that the water god of Wujiang River is the son of the Golden Dragon King."
Qian Tangjun's expression froze, and he said, "Where did you hear such nonsense?"
Gong Mengbi said, "The Wujiang Water God's wet nurse told me. It's funny, that Pig Dragon seemed to be doing everything for the Wujiang Water God, but after I captured her, I seized many treasures from her, more valuable than what was in the Wujiang Water God's palace. After a little interrogation, I heard her say that the Dragon Consort of the Golden Dragon King would send gifts to the Wujiang Water God every year on his birthday, and the most valuable ones were pocketed by the Pig Dragon, and the rest was then given to the Wujiang Water God."
