Chapter 8 The demon world is also very interesting
In the middle of the night, Wu Ci Yan was awakened by the sound of tossing and turning.
Wen Lanzhi was completely unaware. She turned over again while holding Wu Ciyan's arm, yawned with a lingering yawn, and squeezed out two tears.
Wu Ci Yan sat up, and Wen Lanzhi also sat up and yawned again.
Wu Ciyan asked, "What could be bothering you? Are you suffering from insomnia? Didn't you have fun during the day?"
Wen Lanzhi rubbed her eyes and said, "It's too bright." She was obviously not as happy as she was during the day, and looked very aggrieved. She was embarrassed to complain, after all, she had insisted on coming here, but she really couldn't sleep.
She tried covering her head with the quilt, but it was too stuffy and she couldn't fall asleep.
Wu Ciyan said "wait", got out of bed and went out.
Wen Lanzhi yawned twice again and sat there obediently waiting. Even though she couldn't open her eyes, she refused to lie down.
She was so sleepy that she struggled to get to the bed and peeled two grapes to eat, hoping to refresh herself by eating. In fact, if Wu Ciyan hadn't sat up just now, she might have fallen asleep by now.
The grapes are so delicious, let me have another one.
Wu Ci Yan went to the next level of the Heavenly Palace and brought up some dark clouds. After covering the Senluo Palace, he felt it was not enough, so he simply covered the entire Heavenly Palace to ensure that no sunlight could come in.
It was dark and it was raining. The raindrops fell softly, hitting the clouds and the roofs. The sound was so soft that it made people sleepy.
When he finished everything and went back, Wen Lanzhi had already fallen asleep leaning against the wall.
"Tsk!" Wu Ci Yan thought he would hear a word of thanks when he came back. He moved the rabbit from the bed to the floor with a little dissatisfaction, and threw the quilt, mattress and pillow to her on the floor, and then lay down on the empty bed.
After a while, he felt uncomfortable without a pillow and slept on the floor.
Wen Lanzhi was so sleepy that she couldn't wake up at all and had no idea what had happened.
She was sleeping soundly, but the gods in heaven were frightened awake.
They must be still asleep to hear the sound of rain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound was becoming clearer and clearer. The gods had to go out of the palace to see, but they saw only dark clouds covering the city, making it impossible to see any light. In the distance, the pure fire in the alchemy furnace that had been unextinguished for thousands of years was gone, not even a trace of flame could be seen. It was ignited by the previous Emperor of Heaven with the first half of his life, and now it was extinguished.
Early in the morning, Bai Xu woke up and ran to the main hall without even having time to change into his pajamas.
"My flowers! My herbs! They're all dead!" Bai Xu shouted. When he finished, he realized the hall was already full of people. "Why aren't you all saying anything?"
"What can I say?" General Qin said, "Not to mention your flowers, your herbs have withered, even the pure fire in the alchemy furnace has gone out. What can I do? What can I do? He has long been at odds with the Heavenly Court. Who would believe him if he said he didn't do it on purpose?"
Bai Xu was stunned for a moment before reacting and saying, "The pure fire in the alchemy furnace... is extinguished?"
The hall fell silent again, and no one responded.
"Everyone!" General Qin stood up and shouted, "Are we just going to hide here like turtles? If we have any courage, we should rush to Senluo Palace and ask for an explanation! If he doesn't compensate us with the pure fire of the alchemy furnace, we will tear him into pieces!"
Everyone looked up and thought he was crazy.
The person sitting to the side spoke coldly, "General Qin, if you ask who he hates the most, besides the Emperor of Heaven, it should be you. Who was it that went to the Demon Locking Tower and mocked him back then? Your going there will give him a perfect excuse for revenge. Let's see who of you has the ability to tear the other into pieces."
General Qin was furious. "When they were about to throw him into the Demon Locking Tower, didn't you agree? Didn't you cheer? After the Emperor of Heaven died, you immediately switched sides, ran after him, and offered him generous gifts! A beast like you is actually unworthy to sit here and discuss the Dao with us! What a shame! Shame!"
The man said, "If General Qin doesn't want to sit with us, you can jump down and become a mortal."
General Qin was already incoherent: "You! You...you! Bastard! Bastard! You really are a beast!"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing," Bai Xu said with a wry smile. "General Qin is righteous, and what Supreme God Zheng Lin said is not without reason. Young Master Wu has absorbed the magic power of all the monsters in the Demon Locking Tower. Whatever monsters are suppressed in the Demon Locking Tower have been combined into him! Even if we have ten times more people, we can't defeat him. So, let me propose a compromise. Do you two listen to me?"
Both men turned and stared at him.
Bai Xu felt that the two men didn't seem to want to listen to him. Instead, they seemed to want to kill him to vent their anger. He cleared his throat and said, "How about this? Let's go to Senluo Palace and ask them what's going on. Maybe it's... an accident? He has great magical powers and may be able to reignite the pure fire in the alchemy furnace."
"Where is Murong? Why isn't she here?" General Qin asked in a bored tone.
No one paid any attention to him. If Murong were here at this moment, she would pack them up and send them back to their respective palaces to prevent them from disturbing Wu Ci Yan's sweet dreams.
Zheng Lin stood up and said, "Okay, then let's follow Lord Bai Xu's method and go ask."
After everyone had discussed it, they all stood up and headed towards Senluo Palace.
Before they reached the door, the door of Senluo Palace opened and everyone stopped.
Wu Ciyan wore a white nightgown and a red coat that was noticeably shorter than his frame, resembling a woman's. A suspended umbrella hovered over his head, moving with his movements to shield him from the rain.
He yawned and said, "Why aren't you guys sleeping so early in the morning? Are you going for a morning run? Please go around Senluo Palace more often from now on. I'm old and need more sleep."
The crowd was unusually quiet. Just as Wu Ci Yan was about to go in, Lord Bai Xu walked forward with a chuckle.
He has always been a troublemaker between gods and demons, quarreling over trivial matters and putting on a smile over major ones, so whenever there is such a negotiation, everyone tacitly pushes it to him.
"Is there something?" Wu Ci Yan had a good impression of him, so he was willing to talk to him for a few more words.
Bai Xu asked, "Master Wu, why is it so dark?"
Wu Ciyan said, "It's too bright outside. I can't sleep."
Bai Xu asked again: "Then why is it raining again?"
Wu Ciyan said, "It's too quiet. I can't sleep."
Seeing Bai Xu's face stiffen, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it serious?"
Bai Xu said, "It's very important. Many of the magical herbs in the sky need to be exposed to sunlight at all times and cannot be exposed to water. If you wake up, can you... drive away these dark clouds?"
Wu Ciyan agreed, "Okay, I'll move it away when I wake up."
Seeing the negotiation was going well, Bai Xu continued, "If you can't sleep in the future, it's ok to block out the sun, but can you please stop the rain?"
Wu Ciyan held his chin and thought seriously for a moment, then looked up at Bai Xu's smiling face and replied with a smile: "No."
In order to show that he was not really trying to make trouble with Heaven, he also gave a reason, "What if I want to make tea with rain water? I'm a guest here from afar, so please just do as I please. Flowers and plants can't get wet, so why not move them into the house? Besides, I can't stay here for long. I believe that all the gods have great powers and will be able to find the Goddess Yuehua back to me soon, right, everyone?" He stuck his head out to take a look at the large group behind him, all with their heads down, not daring to speak.
Bai Xu's smile froze again. He hadn't been rejected so clearly in a long time. Seeing Wu Ciyan about to go in, he hurriedly called out, "Master Wu! Master Wu!"
Wu Ciyan turned his head impatiently.
Bai Xu said with a stiff face, "When the Emperor of Heaven was here, the pure fire in the alchemy furnace that had been burning for three thousand years was extinguished."
"Oh, it was my negligence." Wu Ciyan looked surprised.
Bai Xu smiled again, waiting for him to come up with a solution.
But he curled his lips, opened his mouth, and said, "I actually let it burn until today."
The palace gates were closed.
Lord Bai Xu turned his head with difficulty and looked at the gods. His negotiations failed.
Zheng Lin said, "If you want him to leave quickly, why not go find the Supreme God Yuehua? Detaining him here will only drive him crazy and achieve nothing."
Wu Ciyan returned to the palace, threw away his shoes and got on the bed.
"What's that noise outside?" Wen Lanzhi was suffocated by him, turned over and asked in a daze.
Wu Ciyan was too lazy to explain and said, "The gods are jogging in the morning."
"It's so tiring to be a god..." Wen Lanzhi fell asleep again.
Wu Ci Yan was also very sleepy. He was woken up twice in his sleep. The next person who came to wake him up would definitely not see a person, but only a knife.
It was a very comfortable sleep. Wen Lanzhi rarely slept so late. When she woke up, it was already noon.
Wu Ciyan had also woken up and was making tea in his pajamas.
The rain stopped outside and the sun came in. Wen Lanzhi climbed down from the bed and crawled next to him. Listening to the humming sound of the small stove, she felt her mood improved.
The immortals came in as usual to deliver food, but when they saw the two men in disheveled clothes, they quickly lowered their heads.
There's nothing you can do about it, bad monsters are just so unruly.
Wen Lanzhi didn't like the food served to the immortals, so she picked up the fruit next to her and started eating it.
Wu Ciyan asked, "Don't you like it?"
"Well...it's okay." Wen Lanzhi said.
Wu Ciyan said, "I'll have the parrot bring you something delicious later."
"Is it okay?" Wen Lanzhi's eyes sparkled.
Wu Ciyan waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, just treat this place like your home."
He poured out the brewed tea and pushed it in front of Wen Lanzhi, "Be careful, it's hot. Try it when it cools down. Try to see if there's any difference between it and the rain from the sky."
"What's the difference?" Wen Lanzhi asked casually.
Wu Ciyan pondered: "Probably nothing is different?"
He brought this dark cloud from the south. It was originally meant to bring rain to the mortal world, so what difference could there be?
It just so happened that it had been raining every day in the south these days and a flood was about to occur. He was able to divert the disaster, which could be considered a blessing to Dawn.
"It feels so fun in heaven." Wen Lanzhi lay on the ground and suddenly didn't want to leave. "How long can we stay here?"
Wu Ciyan said, "We probably won't be able to stay here for much longer. I guess they'll come and drive us away the day after tomorrow at the latest."
After a while, he continued, "The Demon Realm Imperial City is also very fun, definitely more fun than Heaven. I'll invite you to visit the Demon Realm Imperial City when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Wen Lanzhi said happily.
Wu Ci Yan suddenly felt that it would be nice to have someone follow him. It would be too boring to be alone, and two people could play together.
