Chapter 360 Fat Dragon
Zhan Shi nodded, hoisted the bear onto his shoulder, and replied in a simple voice, "I understand. Letting him go mining is fine. If he has a bad temper and can't handle it, and keeps smashing things, he might end up in our pot."
"Hahaha~ Absolutely!" Qing Guanzi laughed happily. While brushing the dust off his body from the three jade pillars lying horizontally in the cave, he took a deep breath, shrank his belly, and swam out of the cave.
As soon as Qing Guanzi left the cave, he transformed into his Dharma body and slid down the mountain. He stopped beside Qing Pingzi's feet, beaming with joy as he patted his almost exposed belly and called out, "Senior brother, did you come all this way to see me?"
With this shout, Qingguanzi's belly bulged out by half again, but he naturally pressed it back down.
Upon hearing this, Qingpingzi shook his head and said, "I just happened to be passing by."
Qingpingzi said this truthfully, but Qingguanzi was still very happy. He wagged his tail and invited Qingpingzi and his party to sit in his cave.
Jiao Jue squinted and said, "You can go."
"I need to go to the Great Wind Sect with the Mountain and Water God to check on the progress of the talismans." Then he took Mountain and Water and Mountain Without to the Great Wind Sect.
Now that the Danxue Mountains are getting better and better, Ji Rong, who feels that she is not majestic enough after releasing her tree trunk, does not like to go out. So she lets Jiao Jue walk around the Danxue Mountains to see the progress of various affairs.
After bidding farewell to Juejun and his party, Qingpingzi followed Qingguanzi, looking at the exposed, whitish stone skin on the mountain.
He surveyed the sparsely vegetated mountainside, where golden light faintly shone through the soil and rocks, and thought to himself that the mountains of Hejian were indeed rich in gold and jade.
As they continued upwards, on the sunny side of the mountain, there was a large cave where a trap had been set up. Zhan Shi stood in front of the cave and bowed to them.
Qingguanzi's cave dwelling was as simple as ever, just a large hole without even a door.
As soon as Qingpingzi settled down in the winding loess cave in Qingguanzi, he spotted a huge iron pot in the pit ahead, half buried and half exposed.
Thinking of Qing Guanzi's round figure, Qing Pingzi frowned and said, "Guanshan, I heard that you are now the patrol general of the Danxue Mountains. What should we do with that black bear today?"
Qing Guanzi, who was fetching juice, turned around immediately upon hearing this! He laughed and said, "So, Senior Brother came from the market today."
The black bear had made a mistake, so the losses were settled with him, and then he was put to work in the mine. He could leave when he had mined enough.
Qingpingzi coldly looked at Qingguanzi's belly, which was already quite bulging due to his joy, and said, "I'm afraid we'll never have enough to dig out, Guanshan."
"How could that be?" Qing Guanzi took out a scroll from his mouth and said, "Senior brother, take a look. This is a set of regulations that Jue Jun and Qing Ji Zi gave me and that I revised. I have always followed these."
Looking at Qing Guanzi, whom he hadn't seen for several years and who was now rounder than a real dragon's body, Qing Pingzi said with disappointment, "Junior brother, as a patrolman, it's not a big deal to eat a few cultivators who break the rules every year. Our Jade Void Mountain Range has the same rules. But look down at yourself. Can you still see your own neck now?"
Qing Guanzi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Senior brother, you have to believe me. I didn't eat much, and I really did follow the rules."
Every time I get meat, I'll have Zhan Shi send some to Longfeng Mountain. We don't eat meat every day; it's common to eat it only once every ten days or so.
Seeing that Qing Guanzi was still trying to argue, Qing Pingzi didn't want to argue with his junior brother who was suffering from gluttony anymore. He sighed and said, "I heard that there are many beautiful jades in your mountains. Perhaps you can let your senior brother see them?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Guanzi immediately raised his head and laughed, his face full of fat: "Senior brother, what kind of jade do you want? Most of what's scraped out these days is inferior jade and gold, though there are some fine jades as well."
Qingpingzi knew perfectly well what the inferior jade was for, but he continued with a stern face, "What's in that cave where you set up the trapping formation? Is it for storing flesh cultivators?"
"Given how you're struggling to climb mountains now, even if you didn't eat for a hundred or eighty years, you'd never get back to your original figure."
After saying that, Qingpingzi looked around the cave and saw three jade pillars. He touched them with his paw and asked, "These are not bad. Are there any more?"
"Senior brother! Don't take this." Qing Guanzi's face was wrinkled with a lot of yellowish skin. He grinned and said urgently, "This is what I just polished. But there are still other jade materials. If you like it, senior brother, come with me to the inner room to choose one."
As he spoke, he raised his head and led Qingpingzi into a pit around a corner. He pulled out several large pieces of smooth, translucent, and flawless white jade from it and presented them as treasures, saying, "Senior brother, take a look."
Qingpingzi picked out five large pieces and put them into his storage ring. Then he glanced at the obese Qingguanzi and said, "Find someone who can take your place as the mountain patrolman and hand him over. Then come to Longfeng Mountain to find me. I have something for you to do, and it has to be you." After saying that, he raised his claws and was about to walk out.
"Yes." Qing Guanzi nodded in response, then twisted his thick, fat body to block Qing Pingzi's path and said, "Senior brother, why are you in such a hurry to leave? At least have something to eat."
Qingpingzi walked away without turning his head, sighing as he said, "Guanshan, do you know that your breath is even worse now? Just standing next to you makes me feel suffocated."
"Then... then senior brother, I'll take you to the Great Wind Sect."
"No need. You're so plump now, I'm afraid I'll be out of breath after just a few steps. I'll go by myself."
Once Qingpingzi left, Qingguanzi lost his playful mood. He looked up at his cave dwelling, which had grown larger and larger over the years, and then touched his fat belly, suddenly feeling extremely ashamed.
In the ancient times, the mountain dragon clan often used "swallowing mountains" as their name. If they let themselves eat and drink without restraint, the final result would be that they would devour all the birds and beasts in the mountains, as well as the soil, rocks and trees, until they were as tall as the mountains. Eventually, they would be unable to move and would slowly turn into a new mountain on the spot.
Therefore, when he was still a king, Lingxiaozi gave him the name "Guanshan" as a reminder to himself, but now he has forgotten it.
"Sigh, it's all Kiyohime's fault for tempting me!" Kiyohime complained to herself, then shook her head to shake off her resentment.
He stretched out his fat paws and slapped himself more than ten times. Qing Guanzi thought to himself, "Qing Jizi saw that I like to eat meat, so she suggested that I become the patrol general. As a result, I ate too much and became so fat."
He shouldn't have blamed her after being scolded by his senior brother.
"It's time to cultivate properly." Qing Guan felt the excess and chaotic spiritual energy and essence in his body, his mouth watering as he struggled internally.
Ugh, it's so hard to give up eating too much.
After leaving the cave, Qingpingzi followed the instructions on the stone tablet and headed towards the Great Wind Sect.
Inside the Great Wind Sect, Tuwei, who had already advanced to the Emperor Realm, was demonstrating the power of talismans to Jiaojue and his group. When she heard her disciples screaming one after another outside, "The Immortal Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws has arrived," she panicked and wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
So she went out, grabbed a disciple on a whim, ordered her to continue the demonstration, and then hurriedly ran away.
