Chapter 404: Pretending to be a Good Person, Peerless Treasure
The white elephant dragon whispered, "This turtle official has lived in Taihu Lake for over three thousand years. He served three water gods before abdicating due to old age."
The three thousand year old man's eyesight was indeed a little blurry due to his age. His face was covered with wrinkles and brown spots. He stared at the Five Gods for a long time before hesitatingly saying, "Is he from Phoenix Mountain?"
Wuchang God smiled and said, "It's Wutong God's people."
Three Thousand Years Old: "Not from Phoenix Mountain?"
Wuchang Shendao: "It's from Shangfang Mountain."
"It's from Shangfang Mountain," the Three Thousand Years Old finally remembered and said, "It's from Wulangshen's family."
"That's right." The five arrogant gods toasted Sanqiansui with a cup, and Sanqiansui drank it with a smile.
The White Elephant Dragon also went to toast and said, "Three thousand years old, it's been a long time."
The Three Thousand Years Old said, "It's the Little White Dragon. I haven't seen him for a while."
The White Elephant Dragon whispered, "Three Thousand Years Old, have you got any good stuff to sell lately? I've saved up quite a bit of money lately. If you have any good stuff, please let me have a look."
The Three Thousand Years Old chuckled and said, "Let's talk about it after the banquet."
He looked through the white elephant dragon's shoulder and said, "Where did you invite this great god from? He doesn't look easy to get along with."
Bai Xianglong said, "This is the Great Immortal Jin Ting. He had just arrived in Taihu Lake and occupied West Dongting Mountain and Shenjing Palace. I met him at Guishan Mountain."
The Three Thousand Years Old man glanced at the black dragon behind Gong Mengbi, and a look of understanding and a bit of toothache appeared on his face. He said, "It seems that he got there first and released this evil star."
The White Elephant Dragon showed a hint of regret and said, "It's a pity that despite your guidance, I only spent several years in Turtle Mountain and still didn't find the Black Dragon. But it was the Immortal Jin Ting who found it as soon as he went there."
But then he showed a look of amusement and said, "Look at how powerful this black dragon is. Now it has been subdued by the Great Immortal Jin Ting. It spends all day and night in the Nine Skies collecting the essence of heavenly thunder. It's just a laborer and a sled."
Upon hearing this, the Three Thousand Years Old revealed a hint of sarcasm and snickered, "The past was so glorious, but now it's like this. How interesting."
They were watching the Thunder Officer chuckling to himself, when they suddenly saw a pair of golden eyes, and their hearts skipped a beat.
San Qiansui pretended to be indifferent, nodded slightly with a smile at Gong Mengbi, and raised his wine glass.
Gong Mengbi just raised his glass to gesture, and then put it down again. He didn't look at San Qiansui again, nor did he drink any wine.
Three Thousand Years Old was displeased and said, "How ignorant."
White Elephant Dragon recalled the incident with the water spirit wine that day and showed a bit of embarrassment. He said, "Three Thousand Years Old, you don't know that the Great Immortal Jin Ting doesn't eat ordinary food and is extremely picky."
The Three Thousand Year Old said, "Pretending to be nice."
The old turtle scoffed. "If he were some prince, he'd have servants and maids waiting on him, so it's fine for him to be so picky. But he's just a demon who's been a bandit and a mountain lord, and he's putting on such airs? Even the son and daughter of the Taihu Lake God wouldn't act like that."
The White Elephant Dragon quickly said, "Three Thousand Year Old, keep your voice down, keep your voice down."
The three thousand year old pursed his lips and said, "Alright, alright, I won't say any more."
The King of Stone City dismissed the two little demons who had asked for wine and offered auspicious words. He finally turned around and said, "Old Prime Minister, everyone says you have a lot of wealth. Today is my birthday. Do you have any treasures that I could find to entertain me?"
Three Thousand Years Old was a bit proud, but he remained modest and said, "Not at all. At my age, I don't care about external things. But speaking of treasures, I did get a new treasure recently."
King Shicheng perked up and said, "What treasure is it? Why don't you take it out and take a look?"
Sanqian Sui touched his sleeves and said, "Get a basin of water."
Immediately a young monk went to fetch water, and in a few moments he came over with a basin of water.
San Qian Sui placed the basin on the table and pulled out a palm-sized red clam from his sleeve. The shell of the clam had layers of flame-like patterns on it.
He placed the clam in a basin of water. After a short while, the clam opened its shell, and a flame-like light shone from the cracks in the shell. It rose like smoke and became a huge torch, illuminating the Xiufeng Temple.
In the flames, a beautiful girl appeared. Her skin was as white as jade, her appearance was more beautiful than flowers, her face was full of sorrow and her eyes were like autumn waves. As soon as she appeared, the monsters of all sizes in the scene could hardly take their eyes off her.
Even the black dragon behind Gong Mengbi couldn't help but take three steps forward and murmured, "So beautiful, so beautiful!" He was eager to grab the clam.
Gong Mengbi glanced at Heilong sideways, and he felt an inexplicable chill. He shuddered, laughed awkwardly, and retreated behind Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi was not surprised that the black dragon was so obsessed, because that light and that girl were not ordinary things, but a pearl.
She is a peerless pearl hidden in a red clam, shining brighter than the moon and dazzling.
The King of Shicheng was truly astonished, and the Five Gods were even more terrified.
The Three Thousand Year Old was extremely proud and said, "Why don't you perform a dance for the King of Stone City?"
The young girl then began to dance, her brows slightly furrowed, her sorrow and resentment undiminished. Her black clothes fluttered in the wind, her skin was translucent and radiant, and she was slender and extraordinary.
Everyone's eyes followed the girl, and they felt itchy and anxious.
As soon as the dance was over, the water in the basin dried up. Sanqian Sui picked up the red clam, and the clam shell slowly closed, taking in all the light and spiritual energy into the shell and closing it tightly.
"Good!" King Shicheng clapped his hands and said, "It is indeed a good treasure."
"Old Prime Minister, such treasures are hard to find in the world. I wonder if you can give them up?" King Shicheng asked while turning the rosary in his hand.
Sanqian Sui stuffed the red clam into his sleeve and disappeared. Hearing this, he said, "I love this treasure very much and cannot let her go. If it weren't for the King's birthday banquet, I wouldn't let her out to see anyone."
King Shicheng hurriedly turned his rosary beads, and finally he sighed and said, "Forget it, this old monk will not take away someone's love."
The three thousand year old man showed his face, which made people envious and jealous.
The Five Gods coaxed him, "Three Thousand Years Old, Old Prime Minister, do you have any other treasures for us to see?"
Three Thousand Years Old quickly waved his hands and said, "No more, no more."
Everyone came to ask him again and again, but the Three Thousand Year Old Man just refused. There was nothing they could do, so they could only give up.
By the second half of the night, all the wine and meat were gone.
King Shicheng drank so much that his face turned red, and he saw the guests off with a bulging belly.
First, he sent away the Five Gods, and then sent away those monsters that he was not very familiar with.
In the end, only seven or eight familiar monsters were left, along with the Three Thousand Year Old, the White Elephant Dragon, and the Golden Court Immortal and his servant.
The King of Shicheng said, "Old Turtle, stop hiding things. We are all one family."
The Three Thousand Years Old looked at Gong Mengbi and the Black Dragon.
Bai Xianglong hurriedly said: "This is the guest I invited. Immortal..." He looked at Gong Mengbi with a pleading look in his eyes.
Gong Mengbi said, "I will keep my mouth shut."
The Three Thousand Years Old finally laughed and said, "Then come and have a look."
The old turtle turned up his sleeves, took off the sleeve bag, and threw it on the mat. It turned into a huge bundle, revealing the dazzling treasures inside.
Spiritual light and auspicious air rose into the sky. King Shicheng twirled his rosary and chanted a Buddhist name. Then, a Zen light appeared and completely covered up the spiritual light and auspicious air.
The Three Thousand Years Old gave a thumbs up and said, "Thank you, King Shicheng."
Everyone walked forward to look at the things in the bundle. Each one was shining with precious light and exuding an aura of spiritual power. There were more than ten items in total, all of which were rare treasures.
