The blue luan bird of Nuwa's family

It started to rain in Chaoge today.

The patter of spring rain is like fine silver threads jumping and dancing in the air, gently falling on the bluestone slabs, causing tiny ripples.The ancient city walls look even more vicissitudes in the rain, and the moss on the stone bricks is moistened by the rain and exudes a faint fragrance.

The ancient buildings on both sides of the street have been washed by the rain and become more primitive.Green tiles and red walls, raindrops dripping on the eaves, making a pleasant ticking sound.The raindrops on the window flow down the glass, blurring the indoor scenery and giving people a hazy beauty.

Pedestrians rush on the streets of the ancient city.

Either walking in the rain holding an umbrella, or hiding under the eaves, carefully avoiding getting the clothes wet.

Of course, there are also a few idlers and three or five elegant guests in Chaoge City, taking a stroll in the rain.

The misty rain was hazy, and raindrops fell on the leaves, making a rustling sound.The water marks on the bluestone are intertwined and set against the ancient brick wall, just like an ink painting.

"Xiao Tian, ​​we've arrived at Chaoge!"

At some point, a girl came to Chaoge.

Her presence adds a splash of bright red to the ink painting.

The girl's eyes were clear and bright, as if she could see through people's hearts.

She shuttled through the ancient city with light steps, and her beautiful silhouette was like a dancing phoenix.

Smart and elegant.

Beautiful and natural.

It's just that in today's Chaoge, except for a few people, no one is aware of her existence.

Ow! !
A little bit of ink spreads in the painting.

Then it surged wildly, gathering into long lines, like a brush drawn randomly, smearing this beautiful picture into a mess.

This makes the girl's painting style a little messy.

"Xiao Tian! Stop running around!"

A quick and angry shout suddenly exploded, as if pressing the pause button for Chaoge City.

The surrounding landscape was motionless.

The gods, ghosts and demons in the city all shrank their necks at this moment, and all shuddered.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"It's raining and it's getting cold."

"Everyone, go home and collect your clothes!"

It wasn't just someone who shouted first, and then the pedestrians in the city were confused for a while, and most of them chose to go home.

The originally popular street suddenly became deserted.

Yang Chan seemed to feel something. She stopped and followed a gaze.

At the other end of the street, a young Taoist priest stood there quietly.

He used a banana-shaped fan to keep out the rain, and tied a purple-gold gourd around his waist.

Seeing Yang Chan looking over, the young Taoist smiled and nodded to Yang Chan.

Yang Chan also quickly returned the gift.

Then the young Taoist slowly left in the other direction and soon disappeared into the heavy rain.

"Ah!! Whose dog is this?!"

A shrill scream came from afar through the rain.

Yang Chan was stunned for a moment.

"Xiaotian!"

She was anxious and annoyed.

Stomping his feet, he chased after him.

In an alley, a young fisherman wearing a bamboo hat kept retreating and was soon cornered by a vicious dog.

He held the broken fishing rod in one hand and the tattered fish basket in his arms with the other. He gritted his teeth in a panic and faced off against the vicious dog in front of him.

"The fish was not sold and was bullied by dogs."

"Jiang Shang, Jiang Shang, how come you are so unlucky to be in this situation!"

The fisherman felt sad and angry inside.

Finally, Jiang Shang, who had no choice but to retreat, seemed to have made up his mind. He pushed the fish basket forward and said to Xiao Tian in a consultative tone: "Well, Brother Dog, this is our first meeting, and I didn't bring anything with me. Gift."

"A small basket of fish is disrespectful."

With that said, Jiang Shang carefully placed the fish basket on the ground and stared at the black dog.

Seeing that the other party was no longer approaching, his Adam's apple rolled nervously, and then he pushed the fishing rod with the half-broken fishing rod.

"Brother Dog, the most valuable thing about me is here."

Jiang Shang pointed to the fish basket.

Xiao Tian glanced at it.

Seeing that they were all small fish and shrimps, it looked at Jiang Shang with a bit more contempt.

Wang!
Who wants this crap? !
"don't want?"

Jiang Shang's expression froze.

His face gradually darkened, his raised body straightened up little by little, and the half of the fishing rod tightly held in his right hand moved slightly forward, like a sword without an edge ready to go.

Xiaotian's eyes sparkled and he looked at Jiang Shang with a playful expression.

It didn't move forward, just stared.

Jiang Shang also held the pole silently.

A man and a dog are caught in a strange confrontation again.

Boom! !

Thunder boomed and heavy rain poured down, blurring the vision.

"Chance!"

Jiang Shang narrowed his eyes and suddenly thrust out the fishing rod in his hand!
"stop!"

A man dressed in red stood in front of Jiang Shang.

Snapped!
The fishing rod in Jiang Shang's hand fell to the ground.

"who are you?"

Jiang Shang looked at the little girl in front of him with a look of astonishment.

I thought it was strange today, one accident after another.

Of course he could see the difference in this little girl with his eyesight.

After all, it rained so hard, but it never fell on the little girl. There was not a drop of rain on her hair, and the shoes on her feet were not wet at all.

"I apologize to you on Xiaotian's behalf."

Yang Chan first glared at Xiaotian, and then looked at Jiang Shang apologetically.

"It's your dog!"

Jiang Shang's face showed a bit of anger: "Such a vicious dog, remember to tie it up next time you take it out!"

Yang Chan apologized again.

She rummaged through her sleeves for a while, and then took out a fist-sized pearl.

The bright light stimulated Jiang Shang to narrow his eyes.

"This property right is an apology. I hope you can accept it."

Yang Chan handed the pearl to the confused Jiang Shang.

It feels slightly cool at first, followed by a warm feeling that spreads throughout the body.

A light curtain opened, blocking out the rain.

Jiang Shang's soaked clothes were also dried.

"Wonderful thing!"

Jiang Shang's heart trembled, and he decisively returned the pearl to Yang Chan: "Shang didn't suffer any loss. Such a valuable treasure is absolutely unbearable!"

Even though Yang Chan repeatedly said it, Jiang Shang still refused.

Yang Chan had no choice but to give up and asked instead: "Is your name Shang?"

Jiang Shang nodded: "My surname is Jiang Shang, and my given name is Ziya. I come from Dongyi."

"Dongyi?" Yang Chan tilted her head and thought for a moment, "There seems to be a war over there?"

"Yes. So Shang came to Chaoge to find a way out."

Jiang Shang bent down to pick up his fishing basket and half of the fishing rod, and walked to the eaves.

"Hey! Who is that, stop!"

A childish scolding stopped Jiang Shang.

A young man walked out of the rain.

He was about eight or nine years old, five feet tall, chubby, and a little fat.

"But what's the matter?"

Jiang Shang looked at him with confusion on his face.

He took a brief look at the young man. His clothes didn't get wet in the rain, his temper was thick and broad, and he was probably someone he couldn't mess with.

The fat man in black walked around Jiang Ziya several times, then raised his chin slightly, looked at people through his nostrils, pretended to be an adult, and adopted a questioning tone:

"Jiang Shang?"

"Yes!"

"Are you from Dongyi?"

"Ok!"

"From Lu Di?"

Jiang Shang's pupils shrank, he didn't mention this just now!

Seeing his reaction, the little fat man's eyes lit up and he became happy on the spot.

"It really is!"

"Someone, tie him up!"

Boom~~
The little fat man waved his hand, and a group of soldiers rushed over to capture Jiang Shang.

"and many more!"

"Why do you arrest people!"

Yang Chan frowned slightly and raised her hand to stop the soldier.

"Yo!"

"Cultivator?"

The little fat man stared at Yang Chan and smiled.

"In Chaoge City, there is no monk who can take care of me!"

"Do you know who my father is?" The little fat man raised his head, very proudly.

"Father Fei Lian!"

Yang Chan was indifferent.

The little fat man's face froze, and he emphasized: "My father Fei Lian!"

"I don't know." Yang Chan curled her lips and walked out with Jiang Ziya.

"Father Fei Lian!!"

The little fat man stopped them and shouted: "Father Fei Lian! You don't know me?"

Seeing how persistent he was, Yang Chan turned around and asked Jiang Ziya: "Who is Fei Lian? Is he famous?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head: "I just came to Chaoge and I have never heard of this name."

The two people's reactions made the little fat man furious.

"You don't even know my father, and you still want to hang out in Chaoge?"

He clapped his hands, and another group of soldiers rushed out.

This team of soldiers is all full of vitality and blood, and they look like they are no ordinary people at first sight.

"Tie them together!"

The little fat man crossed his arms and stepped aside to watch the show.

Boom~
Yang Chan summoned a thunderbolt from the sky, knocking the soldier unconscious.

The little fat man's eyes bulged, and his round body was more agile than a leopard, and he actually dodged.

"How dare you commit murder in the street!"

"You guys are so arrogant!"

The little fat man stopped them and glared at Yang Chan fiercely, even more fiercely than Xiao Tian.

"In Chaoge City, no one will be allowed to be more arrogant than me!"

He let out a low roar, and blood surged all over his body, like beacon fire and smoke, accompanied by the sound of fighting and iron horses.

The martial arts phenomenon of fighting against heaven and earth evolves in the void.

"My name: Evil comes!"

The little fat man announced his name, his roar like a wild beast shook the rain curtain, and his fierce fist pumped the space until it exploded in an instant.

The martial arts killings were earth-shattering.

Yang Chan rolled her eyes and slapped Evilai to the ground.

As soon as the murderous aura arose, it was completely gone.

"Kids, stop making trouble!"

The teenage girl scolded the fat man.

Then he took Jiang Ziya and left.

"Hey! Stop for me!"

The little fat man was very thick-skinned, and he was fine even after being slapped. He rolled up and was about to chase after him.

He bumped into a dark figure head-on.

"Who is it!"

"Dare you stand in my way?"

"Do you know who my father is?"

"Father..."

When evil comes, he will open his mouth and unleash his killing move.

But when he saw the face of the visitor clearly, he suddenly trembled, "...my father Fei Lian."

Fei Lian's face was as sinking as water.

"Rebel!"

When he raised his hand, Evilai turned pale with fright.

"Father, you can't hit me!"

"I am the general promised by the emperor himself."

"When you spank me, you are slapping the Emperor's face!"

Fei Lian's hand froze in mid-air.

His color suddenly changed, and his nose became crooked with anger.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you traitor?!"

"Won't you go back with me?!"

He glanced around.

One after another, the eyes were turned back.

Fei Lian snorted and waved the soldiers away.

Then he picked up his silly son, turned around and disappeared on the street.

In the distance, evil shouts came from the void.

"Father, you can't hit me!"

"You can't hit me!"

"I found it……"

"Nizi, shut up!"

Fei Lian was furious.

After leaving, Yang Chan was worried that the little fat man would cause trouble for Jiang Shang again.

So, she took Jiang Shang to Nuwa Temple.

"Are you here to offer incense?"

Zishou brought two people and one dog to Mingyu.

"gentlemen!"

Yang Chan told Mingyu his intention.

"I've met the priest."

Jiang Shang felt quite uneasy when he came to Nuwa Temple.

Although he knew that Yang Chan was not simple, he didn't expect that she was so different!

The disciples of the temple priests are no worse than the current emperor's sons!

Mingyu also looked at Jiang Ziya curiously.

He knew Jiang Ziya was in Chaoge, but he didn't deliberately look for it.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chan brought him here.

Mingyu pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you want to find a way out in Chaoge?"

Jiang Ziya smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it won't work now."

Mingyu nodded, "Now is indeed the time."

Jiang Ziya, who is in his early 20s, still needs a long time to grow, accumulate, and settle.

Jiang Ziya vaguely understood the meaning of Mingyu's words.

So he bowed and asked, "Please, the priest, show Jiang Shang a clear path."

Mingyu smiled and said: "After leaving Chaoge, let's look around."

"Your path is between heaven and earth."

After Jiang Ziya heard this, he also smiled and said: "Most of the roads between heaven and earth are not easy to walk."

"I wonder which path the priest hopes Jiang Shang can take?"

Mingyu shook his head and pointed at Jiang Ziya's heart: "How to go and which way to go is up to you, not me."

After saying that, he waved his hand, a ray of light flashed through, and Jiang Ziya had a fishing rod in his hand.

"Xiaotian asked you to break a fishing rod, so I'll compensate you with another one."

Jiang Ziya looked at the fishing rod in his hand and found that it was ordinary.

It's just that this rod seems to have 21 sections, and each section has four sigils, for a total of 84 sigils.

And it was this ordinary thing that made Xiao Tian on the side drool with greed.

"Thank you, Lord Priest!"

Jiang Ziya once again showed his decisiveness.

He believes that with the fishing rod given by the temple priest, he will not worry about catching big fish in the future!

~~~~~
Jiang Ziya stayed in the temple for seven days.

He waited until the heavy rain stopped before leaving.

During this period, Mingyu did not avoid him when he gave lectures on sutras and Dharma to Zi Shou.

During these seven days, Jiang Ziya felt more fulfilled than ever before.

Mingyu opened a door for him.

As for the world behind the door, he needs to explore it himself.

So Jiang Ziya took the fishing rod and the fish basket and left Chaoge.

The current Chaoge is too big for him.

This is a place where humans, gods, ghosts, demons, witches and demons gather.

It is a godless city that brings together most of the essence of the Journey to the West universe.

Today, dogs can bully him, and the sons of demons and gods can capture him. Tomorrow, all forces will show up to weigh him.

If he, a little fisherman, stays here for too long, not only will he not be able to catch a fish, he may become someone else's fish, or be eaten by a fish.

So he followed Mingyu's advice and left Chaoge.

Go and have a look at the world outside Chaoge.

No matter how big Chaoge is, it is only a city.

Beyond Chaoge, there is a vast world.

Go into heaven and earth, see all the scenery, and then come back here.

By then, this godless city will be just a small fish pond for Jiang Taigong.

“If you fish in the river, you will catch fish from all over the world.”

"A man who goes out as a fisherman returns as a fisherman."

Mingyu hopes that the returned Jiang Ziya can become a qualified fisherman.

After all, at that time, he was qualified to go to the prehistoric true world to participate in the Great Consecration of Heaven and Earth! (End of chapter)
