Chapter 408: Sending Invitations, What's the Purpose?
The old turtle knelt in front of the temple. The Taihu God looked at his miserable appearance and asked, "What treasure did you lose?"
The old turtle cried, "My Lord has ordered me to guard the Red Clam Pearl. Even when I was attending the birthday celebration of the Stone City King, I dared not slack off. I always carry it with me and never dare to make any mistakes."
"Unexpectedly, the evil dragon attacked secretly, injured this old minister, and took away the treasure."
The Taihu God suddenly stood up from his throne, paced a few steps, and said, "Ridiculous! Old Turtle, oh old turtle, you are also an old minister, you have lived for so many years, don't you know the principle of not showing off your wealth?"
"I ordered you to look after the Red Clam Pearl. If you don't show the treasure to others, how could anyone want to see it?"
The Three Thousand Years Old was filled with shame and said, "This old minister's fault is mine, and I beg your Majesty to punish me. But the most urgent task is to retrieve the Red Clam Pearl."
The Taihu God sighed and said, "The red clam pearl is a small matter. Heng'er was obsessed with playing with things, so I asked you to keep it for him. Now that the treasure is lost, if he knew about it, he would definitely cause trouble."
The Taihu God squeezed the jade in his hand and said, "The Great Immortal Jinting has settled in West Dongting Mountain. He is indeed capable, but he should not have provoked the Water Palace and taken away our treasures."
The Taihu God pondered for a moment and said, "Go and send me an invitation, inviting him to the Water Palace for a while."
The old turtle's heart was pounding. Thinking of the ferocious look of the black dragon, he suddenly became suspicious.
The Taihu God knew what he was thinking, and he immediately called out to the outside of the hall, "Chen'er."
A young general with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes walked in from outside the hall. He was wearing silver armor and carrying a sword. He looked very heroic and valiant. He saluted the Taihu God and said, "Foster father, your son is here."
The Taihu God said, "You must take two hundred riders with him and go with him. Don't let anyone look down on you."
The young general bowed his head and said, "Your son obeys your command."
The Three Thousand Year Old took a look at the young general, forced a smile, and said, "I obey your orders."
The Taihu God wrote the invitation and handed it to the Three Thousand Years Old Man, saying, "Go."
The Three Thousand Years Old Man left the hall with the invitation and met with the young general in front of the hall. The two of them walked away together.
When they were far away and the Taihu God could no longer sense them, the Three Thousand Years Old Man sighed and said, "Young Master Chen, you must be careful. The Jinting Immortal is definitely not an ordinary person. You must not act rashly on this trip."
Young Master Chen gave a bitter smile and said, "If it wasn't difficult, why would he give it to me?"
Three Thousand Years Old said: "Good things take time. Master Chen has gone through many hardships, but there will always be a day when he will see the light again."
Young Master Chen looked back at the Water Palace's temple, his eyes filled with unconcealable hatred, and said, "I don't know if I can wait until I see the light again."
The three thousand year old coughed lightly and said, "Young Master."
Young Master Chen retracted his gaze, concealing the hatred in his heart, and said, "I lost my composure."
The three thousand year old man took a look and saw that there were no outsiders, so he secretly stuffed a brocade bag into Young Master Chen's hand.
Then he quickly took a few steps forward, bowed loudly and said: "I will rely heavily on Master Chen on this trip. Allow me to go back and take the medicine for my wounds, and then meet up with Master Chen."
Master Chen held the brocade bag in his hand and resumed his businesslike attitude, "Then I will go and gather the troops and wait for the old Prime Minister to come."
The Three Thousand Years Old simply nodded and disappeared into the corner of the Water Palace.
It was almost dawn.
The Thunder Collector finally managed to land in front of the Golden Palace, having collected enough of the essence of the heavenly thunder.
The moonlight faded, and the elixir energy of the Great Immortal Jin Ting was withdrawn, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
The Thunder Officer walked around the doorpost, and in an instant his breathing calmed down, inhaling and exhaling the brilliant light of the dragon ball, as if he was neither asleep nor awake.
The Taoist priests who got up early to do their morning prayers were already used to it. Only the little Taoist Chongjing, who came to deliver dew and medicine to the Immortal Jinting, waved his fist at the black dragon with black eyes.
The weather is not very good today.
It was still somewhat clear in the morning, but soon clouds obscured the sunlight, and it looked like it was going to rain.
By the time of Chen, the weather had changed drastically. Strong winds blew, dark clouds gathered, and the view of Taihu Lake in the distance could no longer be seen clearly.
The little Taoist boy Chong Jing was nodding his sleepy head outside the Golden Palace, ready to receive orders from the Immortal Jin Ting at any time.
With a creaking sound, the door of the Golden Palace opened. The Immortal Jin Ting walked into the courtyard and looked up at the rolling dark clouds in the sky.
A sound of wind.
Chong Jing looked over and saw that the Thunder Officer on the Golden Palace's doorpost had transformed back into a human form. He looked up at the sky with a stern face and said, "What a strong smell! How dare you stir up trouble in front of me?"
The Immortal Jin Ting turned his head to look at the Thunder Officer and asked, "I asked you to hide your appearance and attack someone. Were you recognized?"
The Thunder Officer shook his head and said, "Impossible! I knocked the old turtle unconscious with one palm strike. If he had recognized me, how could he not have said anything when I took his things?"
The Taoist boy Chong Jing had no idea what they were talking about. He only heard the Immortal Jin Ting say, "The victim is here, how could he not be recognized?"
Before the Immortal Jin Ting finished speaking, a strong wind blew up, and the waves on Taihu Lake surged, rolling up huge waves and heading straight for West Dongting Mountain.
The waves rose higher and higher, almost sweeping West Dongting Mountain into the water.
On the waves, two hundred knights wearing armor, holding weapons and riding on huge fish appeared, and at the head stood a young general in bright silver armor and an elderly man.
The waves stopped in front of West Dongting Mountain and did not subside for a long time. Then the old man asked, "Is the Immortal Jinting here?"
The sound was like a flood, and it frightened the Taoist priests in the mountains so much that they all rushed to the Golden Palace to inquire.
Taoist Xiao looked at the Immortal Jin Ting and asked, "Immortal, who are these sailors?"
Jin Ting Daxian said: "It's okay, come find me."
The Immortal Jin Ting looked at the Thunder Officer and said, "Dispel the wind and clouds."
A red light flashed in the Thunder Officer's eyes, revealing a ferocious look. He said, "Watch me."
The black dragon roared loudly and rushed into the sky like a bolt of lightning. In just a moment, it knocked a hole into the clouds.
The dragon's roar caused the big fish in the waves to become agitated.
The knights riding the big fish tightened the reins woven from waterweed and soothed their mounts.
Young Master Chen looked up at the black dragon circling in the sky, a solemn look on his face.
As soon as the Thunder Officer rushed to the sky, the rolling dark clouds began to spread in all directions.
The water vapor gathered by Young Master Chen and the water tribe is being taken away bit by bit by the black dragon and has become his home turf.
Young Master Chen wanted to fight, but was stopped by the Three Thousand Year Old Man's gaze.
Without waiting for the black dragon to act, the Immortal Jin Ting ascended with clouds and mist, and he walked step by step to the towering waves of Taihu Lake. He rode the clouds, looking quite condescending, and said with his hands behind his back, "So it's you, the old Prime Minister. We parted only yesterday. I wonder what brings you here today."
