Chapter 426 Sending Off the Gods
Because the yellow-skinned tiger who brought them over, claiming to be the brother of the Mountain and Water God, said to them earnestly, "My brother is the Mountain and Water God, and you call my brother the eldest brother, so you are also my sisters."
My brother said that from now on, the Mountain Elephant and Mountain Leopard will be in charge of these three mountains. He told you two to listen to them and focus on cultivating your meridians.
Mountain elephants are wise and diligent, and cannot tolerate lazy people;
The mountain leopard is ruthless and has sharp claws; it cannot tolerate a weak god.
Working under their watchful eye, one cannot resort to clever tricks.
Shan Ou looked at Shan Sun and said, "Stop yelling. It's tough here, but if this mountain isn't broken, it won't be our turn. Let's get to work."
The mountain leopard loves to patrol the mountains. It walks silently, and if it sees us slacking off, it might just take a bite. We're smaller then, but we still have to work.
The mountain monkey sighed and nodded, then spat out the monkey-shaped seal in its mouth and began digging a tunnel to exercise its power and repair the underground spiritual vein.
Once the mountain gods received their respective territories, they began to exercise their authority to restore the spiritual veins under the supervision of the mountain elephants and mountain leopards.
Qing Guanzi, Shan Wu, and Zhan Shi took the treasure back to the Danxue Mountains first; Jiao Jue, on the other hand, went to the Yueyin Mountains with Shan Shui, who was carrying the mountain lizard and the mountain bee.
Since the Yuanjun acknowledged the position of the Queen Dowager as the supreme ruler, the bright moon has risen every night.
Therefore, they should fulfill their promise, send the mountain god over, and take over the underground veins.
They arrived at the Moonshade Mountains at sunset, when the moon was already high in the sky.
As soon as they entered the mountain, Jiao Jue called out to Na Yue, "Senior Yuanjun."
Then, Yuanjun's clear, cold voice came from the moon. He was first surprised, then delighted, and said, "It's Juejun, and... Mountain and Water God? Are the little guys behind you the incarnations of the Golden Mother?"
"Long time no see! If it weren't for your tiger tail, I wouldn't have recognized you."
Shan Shui cupped his hands to Yuan Jun and said, "Yuan Jun, it is I."
Yuanjun emerged from the moon and looked up at the broken bowl and mountains above her head. She said with delight, "Mountain and Water Lord, Jade Lord, since you have come in the night, I shall invite you to have a drink."
Jiaojue raised his upper body and bowed to Yuanjun, saying, "Thank you, senior. We are here to escort the mountain god to his new post, so it is not appropriate for us to stay any longer."
Yuan Jun smiled gently and said, "A pot of moonlight won't take up much of your time."
Shan Shui and Jiao Jue exchanged a glance, then nodded and said, "Then we shall respectfully comply."
They passed through the dilapidated mountains and forests and came to the Jade Liquid Pool, which exuded a cold, fishy smell and was covered with several clumps of lotus leaves.
Then they saw Yuanjun raise a jade hand that emitted a shimmering light and beckon to them, saying, "Follow me." Then she silently entered the pool and submerged.
Jiaojue and Shanwu followed closely behind, accompanied by Shanfeng and Shanlizard.
Beneath the Jade Liquid Pool lies a space within the water, where layers of water flow upwards in curves from the bottom, each layer undisturbed by the others.
The deeper you go, the clearer the water becomes and the richer the spiritual energy; the higher you go, the muddier the water becomes and the stronger the fishy smell.
As they swam to the bottom, they suddenly saw a moon-viewing platform emitting a faint glow, submerged in clear water, seemingly empty and adrift.
On this platform is a large moon, its surface covered with craters, and the words "Moon Imprint" can be faintly seen in divine script, shimmering with a pale golden light.
Beneath the Suspended Moon Platform lies a thick, golden layer of sediment from the source.
Yuanjun swam to the platform, stretched out her six hands, held the full moon, and threw it upwards. The moon then slowly rose.
As the full moon rises, particles settle and gather in the murky water above, and soon fireflies, frogs, toads, and gold and silver fish appear alongside the moon...
They joyfully chased the moon upwards, and the Jade Liquid Pool gradually became clear, emitting a fragrant lotus scent.
Seeing that the moon had left the Jade Liquid Pool, Yuanjun happily pulled open the source layer next to the Suspended Moon Platform. He used his four hands to twist up a black jar from inside and said, "Mountain and Water God, bring your bowl and rinse it with the moonlight, then we can start drinking."
Shan Shui did as instructed, taking the bowl off his head and letting the moonlight shine through it.
After a while, Yuanjun had already taken out five cups, three large and two small. With her six hands, she grabbed from under the suspended moon platform and pulled out a large jade table, which she then set out.
He then stretched out one hand and tossed three lotus seeds beside the jade table. The seeds quickly sprouted, grew, and produced golden lotus leaves of varying sizes.
When the largest leaf grew to the size of a futon, Yuanjun stepped forward and stroked the golden lotus leaves. He exhaled a breath, covering the leaf surface with a light layer of frost, before smiling at Jiaojue and Shanshui and saying, "Come, take a seat. This is moonlight imbued with the energy of the source, and only I have it here."
Jiao Jue and his entourage took their seats, and Yuan Jun personally poured them moonlight nectar.
After drinking two cups, Yuanjun took out a large jade book and handed it to Shanshui, saying, "Shanshui Divine Lord, I have something good here. Take a look; I think you'll be interested."
Shan Shui took the book and saw that it was titled "The Book of Plants and Trees".
Shan Shui nodded and said, "I know that. When the Immortal Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws was compiling this book, I was by his side and did many calculations with him."
Upon hearing this, Yuanjun was even more pleased and asked, "So you also believe that the tree spirits and grass spirits here can be cultivated using spiritual liquid?"
"Yes." Shan Shui glanced at it only once before returning the book to Yuan Jun. He said, "But we believe that the lifespan of all things is different, and cause and effect are intertwined."
Some small grasses may be prone to becoming spirits or beings, and consequently, they tend to be weaker.
Some large trees naturally live a long time, so their intelligence development likely takes a relatively long time. But if they live to a ripe old age, they must be quite remarkable.
Upon hearing this, Yuanjun's smile deepened, and she said that time was not a problem.
They talked about everything under the sun, and soon it was high in the sky.
Seeing that the moonlight had deepened, Shan Shui finished drinking the moonlight from his cup, then stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Lord Yuan, we have drunk much of the moonlight nectar. We entrust the two good-for-nothings, the mountain lizard and the mountain bee, to you. We must depart now."
Yuanjun nodded and said, "Don't worry."
Shan Shui glanced deeply at the mountain lizard and the mountain bee, then headed towards the Danxue Mountains with Jiao Jue.
In the Danxue Mountains, Ji Rong, Qing Pingzi, Feng Qing, and Ji Zhuang stood in the Dragon and Phoenix Hall, staring dumbfounded at the large wooden book recording the battle spoils presented by Gu Qingqing.
Ji Rong, in particular, exclaimed, "I've struck it rich!" after only flipping through a few pages.
She looked at Qingpingzi and exclaimed, "Senior brother, is the God Lord really this wealthy?"
Judging from this, you and Juejun really don't know how to accumulate wealth. You've been the Palace Master of Yuxu Palace for most of your life, and you haven't even saved up many spirit crystals.
Jue Jun has been the chief priest for many years, yet he can't even scrape together five pages of treasure.
Qingpingzi sighed, "Junior sister, you've forgotten. I used to have quite a few things saved up, but I never imagined you would be so wasteful with your treasures."
