Chapter 413 Three Visits
Throughout history, heroes have often been filled with lofty ambitions, but upon returning to reality, they find it difficult to withstand the hardships they face.
Qingpingzi and Xitong returned quickly, but they did not enter the Moonshade Mountains and returned empty-handed.
Because Yuanjun, a relatively ancient deity, chose to stay away from guests in remote mountain passes.
Now, there is no moon in the night sky, only darkness and no light.
As soon as Qingpingzi returned to Shoudao Palace, he frowned and said, "Junior sister, it's a good thing for you that Yuanjun is staying at home. We old guys should stay at our own mountain."
"I'm going back now. Have Zepeng bring the younger ones with me; I'll take them back and teach them as well."
Ji Rong heard Pingzi's face turn from red to black and thought to herself, "Could it be that this old man has been turned away and lost face?" But she didn't care about face at all.
He then said, “Senior brother, you have had a long journey. You should rest first. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
Yuanjun is a great deity, an existence even more ancient than my master Lingxiaozi, and deserves my thrice-invitation.
But I was invited to a high position at a young age, and if I went directly there, there would be no room for maneuver.
"My senior brother has already made the first invitation for me, junior sister; I will make the remaining two myself."
Then it was noticed that Qingpingzi's complexion had indeed improved.
Ji Rong had not expected that Yuanjun would not respond.
Having witnessed Qingpingzi and Xi's previous journey, Ji Rong decided to personally visit the Yueyin Mountains.
She had Gu Qingqing use the pale gold source to blend seven-colored wine for her, and then summoned Qing Guanzi and Jiao Jue back.
Jiaojue guarded the mountain range, while Qingguanzi carried her towards the Yueyin Mountain Range.
Upon arriving at the Moonshade Mountains, Ji Rong indeed found the mountains shrouded in a gray mist, thick enough to veil the entire mountain range, making it impossible for her to even put her feet or claws inside.
As she tried to circulate her spiritual energy to break through the mist, she saw the gray mist following the trajectory of her spiritual energy to drill into her body, causing severe blockage. Startled, Ji Rong quickly retreated.
With a slight thought, Ji Rong's tree roots spread densely through her meridians, appearing outside the bird's feathers and forcing the gray mist out of her body.
Unable to get in, Ji Rong opened her large beak and called out, "Senior Yuanjun, Qingji Zi from Yuxu Palace has come to see you with beautiful wine." She called out three times, but there was no response.
There was no response, but Ji Rong was not in a hurry. She looked at Qing Guanzi, who was lying on the side playing with the soil, and said, "Senior brother, I will wait here. If you are bored, you can go and play by yourself."
Qing Guanzi shook his head and said, "This place isn't fun. I'm going to sleep. Call me when you're ready to leave."
"good."
Ji Rong stood there, waiting from dawn until sunset. As soon as the sun set, the Moon Shadow Mountains seemed to come alive, with flowers and trees growing and blooming in competition. Faintly, cheerful sounds of knocking and banging could be heard from within.
Ji Rong still didn't go in. She could only call out to those inside, "Senior Yuanjun, Qingji Zi from Yuxu Palace has come to see you with five-colored wine."
Having said that, he took the wine from Qing Guanzi's body and said, "Senior Yuanjun, I know you can hear me. You will surely like what I brought today. I will put it in and ask you to make way."
Then she saw a faint crack appear in the gray mist, and Ji Rong put the wine into the crack, saying as she did so, "In the past, Ji Rong enjoyed a banquet at your place. I wonder when you will hold another one."
You said you would invite me again, but I've waited for many years and never received another invitation from you.
The wine was finished, and the crack returned to its original state, but not a single word came out from inside.
Ji Rong continued talking, and she simply asked Qing Guanzi to cut down trees for her and make a tall pile of wood. Ji Rong stood on the pile and said that Qing Guanzi was bored, so the pile of wood grew taller and taller.
On the third night, Ji Rong ascended the wooden platform, preparing to recount ancient tales and express her admiration for the Yuanjun while facing the Moon Shadow Mountains.
Then a moon rose slightly from the Moon Shadow Mountains, and Yuanjun's cold voice came from within, saying, "I have accepted this gift. You should leave now."
"Guan Shan! You are not allowed to cut down any more trees! My place is already not lively enough; if you two cut down all the trees, where will my followers live?" Then, he sank into the mountain and disappeared without a trace.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately exclaimed, "Senior Yuanjun, please don't worry. I will go back and send cultivators to plant trees here."
After waiting for a while, Yuanjun still didn't reappear, so she had to call out again, "Senior Yuanjun, please drink the wine. I'll bring you more next time I come."
Upon returning to Longfeng Mountain, Ji Rong sent a servant to plant trees in the Yueyin Mountain Range. Whenever she had free time, she would occasionally take some things to the Yueyin Mountain Range to pour out her heart, hoping to receive a response from the Yuanjun once again.
Upon hearing that Ji Rong had been traveling so much, Xi Tong disagreed, saying, "Arong, you are now the common ruler we have jointly elected. Why do you always have to bow down to that old fellow Yuanjun?"
Should I take my good uncle down, take him to the Moonshade Mountains to burn him once, and then string them together so they can become the sun together? But that's all.
Ji Rong shook her head and said, "If we do that, the Moon Shadow Mountains will definitely be burned to the ground."
Sister Hei, Yuanjun is one of the few ancient gods in the world today, and she is not wrong.
In terms of seniority, I am His junior, and according to the rules of Jade Void Palace, I should respect Him.
If He can be contained, those reclusive clans, newly born gods, and newly ascended powerful beings will never be able to cause any trouble.
Sister Hei, it's not that I'm afraid of anyone. Anyone can fight a battle of pride, and it's easiest for the strong to kill the weak.
But this world is easy to destroy, difficult to restore; I bow my head, for the sake of this world.
As they spoke, Ji Rong pulled Xi Tong to sit down on the jade table next to the main seat, and personally poured her a cup of wine, saying, "A living, normal Yue Jun is far better than a mad or dead one. Sister Hei, during the day you drive the sun to shine on the earth, but what about at night?"
Upon hearing this, Xi Tong said, "A Rong is kind-hearted. If she doesn't know how to appreciate it, it's better to do it."
Ji Rong nodded and said, "Okay."
On this day, Ji Rong, as usual, came to the Moon Shadow Mountains with Qing Guanzi.
This time, however, she brought a rubbing of the "Plant and Tree Chapter" of the Jade Book. She sat cross-legged on the outskirts of the Moon Shadow Mountains, reading a page and then taking a break.
That night, she read ten pages, but by dawn, there was still no reaction from the mountains.
Unable to get a response, Ji Rong had no choice but to put away the book. She said disappointedly, "Senior Yuanjun, I'm getting busier and busier. I'm afraid I won't be able to come often these days."
There are very few plants and spirits in this world. I originally thought that since you are the Lord of the Night, you might be willing to take over this book and let plants and trees flourish. It seems that I was overthinking it. After saying this, he went back with Qing Guanzi.
As soon as Ji Rong left, a full moon immediately burst forth from the Jade Liquid Moon-Washing Pool, and Yuan Jun's hazy figure appeared and disappeared in the moon.
In no time, ripples spread across the pool, forming characters that, when strung together, clearly indicated what Ji Rong had read.
One by one, the character for "water" was tattooed onto the lotus leaves in the pond. After the last character was carved, Yuanjun let out a faint sigh and returned to the pond.
