Chapter 100. Di Jun raised an eyebrow. There really is one…
Di Jun raised an eyebrow. "There really is?"
Tell me about it.
Kunpeng glanced at the setting sun in the distance and said:
"The human race has just suffered a great calamity and hasn't recovered yet. Aren't the ten little princes making a fuss about wanting to come out and play?"
Kunpeng left it at that.
Di Jun reacted instantly and immediately refused: "No way."
The ten little golden crows are his children. This kind of thing, where ten suns appear at the same time and burn all living beings in the prehistoric world, must never happen. If it does, all the evil karma will backfire on the little golden crows, and Di Jun will absolutely not allow it.
Kunpeng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this matter is not that serious. Let the young princes come out to play for a few days. Once the human race's spirits are sufficient, Your Majesty can immediately step forward and, in a fit of rage, bring the young princes back to Tang Valley. You can then soothe the human race with a heavy heart and provide some material compensation. No one will be able to say anything then."
"Just assume it's because the children were playing and the family didn't supervise them properly, which led to this disaster. And announce to the world that the young princes will never be allowed to run around again, so no one can find fault with that."
Di Jun hesitated, but finally shook his head: "This method goes against the way of Heaven, it is not acceptable, let's try another method."
Kunpeng said, "There are other methods, of course, but those methods would inevitably lead to a falling out with the human race. At that time, the human race might really join forces with the witch race to deal with us. I urge Your Majesty to think it over."
Di Jun waved his hand: "Never mind, I'll think about it some more."
Kunpeng didn't rush out, but bowed and withdrew from the main hall. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Donghuang Taiyi approaching, followed by the human. Kunpeng greeted him with a smile:
"Where did Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor come from?"
Donghuang Taiyi nodded: "Demon Master, is my elder brother here?"
Kunpeng said, "Yes, I just discussed some things with His Majesty. If His Majesty the Eastern Emperor wants to see you, he's inside."
Donghuang Taiyi: "Alright, I have some important business with my brother. You may do as you see fit, Demon Master."
Kunpeng watched with a smile as Donghuang Taiyi walked into the hall. He whispered a few instructions to Er at the door before turning away and leaving. Dijun didn't agree to the appearance of ten golden crows, but the ten little golden crows agreed to come out and play.
Cang Li left the Wu tribe in a huff, frustrated that he had failed to kill Gong Gong. After returning to the cave, he sat sullenly at the entrance without saying a word.
Nini carried a load of tiles and pottery over, her eyes sparkling as she said to Cang Li, "Chief! Look, we fired our own pottery!"
Cang Li looked over and saw that this batch of pottery was made by the people themselves, yet it was fired perfectly. Cang Li's mood eased a bit, and he picked up a tile and said:
"The fire is burning well. Are there enough tiles for the house? Winter isn't over yet. Is there enough firewood for food?"
Nini nodded with a smile: "That's enough! We'll eat sparingly while fighting, so we won't go hungry. The chief said before that charcoal burns longer than firewood, so the chief doesn't need to worry about heating!"
Cang Li then smiled and said, "Well, that's good. After spring arrives, everyone should plant more grain to prepare for any eventuality. The Witch and Demon races will inevitably go to war sooner or later. If we store more grain, we can avoid getting involved in the fighting if the war breaks out here."
Nini said, "Chief, we're not afraid! There's nothing to hide from. Let them fight. If anyone really dares to offend us, we'll just kill them!"
Cang Li wholeheartedly agreed: "Yes! That's right, you're right!"
Nini grinned: "Then, Chief, I roasted some freshly caught wild boar, do you want some?"
Cang Li got up, dusted off his clothes, and said, "Eat!"
There's nothing that a meal can't solve; if one meal isn't enough, then two will do.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Cang Li began to make plans. Nuwa patching up the sky had already been planned, and Hou Yi shooting down the suns and Chang'e flying to the moon were probably not out of the question either. The latter was not in a hurry, as she had not yet met the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun Mountain, but the former was a little anxious.
Cang Li turned to Nini and asked:
"Does anyone in our clan have the name Hou Yi? Or just the single character Yi? If so, find out how many people share the same name and bring them all to me."
Regardless of whether the person named Hou Yi is the one who shot down the sun, we should first find him and then gradually eliminate those who fit the criteria. If no one matches the criteria, it means that the story of Hou Yi shooting down the sun is still a long way off.
Cang Li has learned his lesson and now prepares in advance to avoid being caught off guard.
Nini asked with some doubt: "Great Chief, what do you want to find this person for? Besides, our human race now has more than 100,000 people, not counting newborn babies. It will be very difficult to find him."
Cang Li said, "There's no other way. I don't want to look for them either, but we have to keep looking. In any case, let's start looking. Go to all departments and notify anyone named Hou Yi or whose name contains the character Yi to come here."
Nini didn't understand, but she did as Cangli said.
Cang Li took out the Sun-Shooting Bow. She knew that she would need it sooner or later when she saw it in the store.
The Sun-Shooting Bow was entirely black, with patterns on it resembling fire marks left after burning, and it also faintly emitted a golden light. Cang Li raised the Sun-Shooting Bow, drew the bowstring towards the mountain, and then released it. A wisp of air shot towards the mountain, piercing right through it.
Cang Li examined the bow. It was very powerful, but not enough to shoot down the sun. The bow was also missing arrows; the arrows for the Sun-Shooting Bow were gone.
The fact that the Sun-Shooting Arrow hasn't been refreshed in the shop means that the Sun-Shooting Arrow is still in the primordial world.
Cang Li stroked her chin, pondering where the Sun-Shooting Arrow might be; she truly had no clue.
I wonder if the principle that there is always an antidote for poison within three steps works in the prehistoric world.
If it works, then wouldn't she have to go to Tanggu to find it? After all, all ten Golden Crows are in Tanggu.
But thinking about it this way, she'd already gone to Tanggu, so she'd beat all ten Golden Crows until their parents wouldn't recognize them, and then tell them that if they dared to appear in the sky at the same time, they were doomed.
Cang Li slapped his forehead. That's right! We should solve the problem at its source. There's no need to be wise after the event!
Before Nini could return from dispatching the people from various departments, Cang Li said to Nini:
"Nini, I'm going out for a bit."
Nini was already used to Cang Li going out every now and then, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, Chief. When the people who went out come back, I'll have them stay here and wait for the Chief to return."
Cang Li flew away with peace of mind, heading straight for Tang Valley. She had never been to Tang Valley before, but in mythology, Tang Valley was located where the sun sets, so she could just head west.
The further west they went, the more desolate the scenery became. Cang Li frowned. The western part was covered with yellow sand. How could such a large area be all sand? How do they prevent and control the wind and sand now?
Cang Li shook his head. That's not important right now. The human race hasn't expanded here yet anyway. We'll talk about it when we get here. Right now, the most important thing is to go to Tanggu and see how Xihe and her husband are doing with their child.
After flying for two days without seeing Tanggu, Cang Li thought he might have taken the wrong path, so he decided to find a sheltered place to go to Lingfu to ask.
Just as he was searching, Cang Li looked up and saw two bald men flying over. They were dressed in tattered clothes and looked like poor people.
Cang Li was very surprised because she had been in the prehistoric world for so long, and even when the human race was first born, she had never dressed like this. In other words, she had never seen anyone in the prehistoric world dressed like a beggar. Moreover, the cultivation of these two people was obviously above hers. Cang Li frowned, her eyes wary, and she directly sidestepped to avoid the flight path of the two people.
Regardless of who these two came from, Cang Li had no intention of getting into a conflict with them. She had heard Tongtian talk about how many prehistoric cultivators liked to rob people on the road, so she was extra careful when traveling.
Who knew that even though Cang Li had dodged several hundred meters away, the two of them headed straight for him.
Cang Li pretended not to see and sped up flying westward. She needed to find Little Golden Crow and couldn't waste time here.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
"Fellow Daoist, don't leave!"
Cang Li: ...
The two bald men behind him had caught up, one blocking Cang Li's front and the other blocking his retreat, their faces practically screaming that they were up to no good and were looking to rob and plunder.
Cang Li gritted his teeth: "What do you mean by this!?"
After Zhunti and Jieyin made their great vow to become saints, their lives became difficult. After all, debts owed to others don't have to be repaid, but debts owed to the Heavenly Dao cannot be ignored. So, after establishing the Western Religion, the two of them became completely shameless and began to rob and plunder. Anyone who passed through the West would be robbed by them.
They claimed that this thing was destined for them.
Recently, they learned that the human leader possessed a treasure that could replenish the spiritual veins of their sacred mountain. After discussing it, the two brothers decided to go to the human realm to beg for alms.
They had barely stepped out when they encountered someone. This person was dressed very elegantly, their clothes were clearly not ordinary, the small beads tied in their hair were made from spiritual essence from the spiritual veins, and there was also a jade belt with an emerald green hue around their waist and a bracelet on their wrist...
It's a big, fat fish.
Zhunti and Jieyin are brothers with principles; they may rob and plunder, but they will never take human lives.
"Fellow Daoist, this is the territory of my Western Sect."
The guide did not finish expressing his meaning.
Cang Li: "So what? What's wrong with your Western Religion's territory?"
This left Cang Li speechless. Did the Western Sect not even allow people to pass by?
But Western religion... then these two wouldn't be the legendary Two Saints of the West, would they?
After all, apart from the two Western Saints, Cang Li couldn't think of anyone here whose cultivation level was higher than hers.
With a pained expression, Zhunti spoke in a humble tone:
"Our Western religion is constantly maintaining its spiritual veins. Fellow Daoists, please leave some alms when you pass by."
Cang Li: ? ? ?
Cang Li spread his hands: "Robbery? You should have said so earlier. Why are you making such a big fuss about robbery? You're doing something so dishonorable and you're still trying to hide it. You Western religions aren't generous at all!"
Jieyin/Zhunti: ?
This reaction seems a bit off, doesn't it?
"Alright, your grandma is in a hurry, just tell me what you need."
Cang Li blew on her nails dismissively. She had a lot of defective products that Yuan Shi had later refined, which were said to have been poorly refined. Anyway, since the matter had been given to her, she could just give a couple to get rid of these two bald men. She was in a hurry to get to Tang Valley and didn't have time to waste here.
Zhunti tentatively pointed to the lotus crown on Cang Li's head, saying that it was a top-grade magic treasure.
Cang Li touched the lotus crown, then took it off and tossed it to Zhunti.
Zhunti: !
Heaven has dealt them a cruel blow!
"Bring Yingluo here too!"
"Give us the earrings, the pendants around our waists, and the spirit pearl in our hair."
Cang Li impatiently took off her earrings, necklaces, and pendants and tossed them to Zhunti. These were all given to her by Taiqing when they went to Kunlun Mountain.
Jieyin was overjoyed, his gaze fixed on the green aura on Cang Li's wrist, and he greedily pointed at it:
"I think this one is also destined for us, so let's leave it to us."
Cang Li squinted and raised his hand, waving it playfully.
"this?"
Jieyin nodded. This bracelet was better than everything else he had combined, and he couldn't possibly let it go.
