Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1047: The Mystery of Fushui
The waves are surging and huge.

"Boom!"

Purple lightning covered the sky, dark clouds swept in with strong winds, the spiritual power on the sea became chaotic, and several rays of light that were originally floating in the air had to descend and stop on the sea to rest.

Thick green light rolled on the sea, like a giant beast with hunched shoulders and bent back, illuminating the waves with fine green light. A huge tripod appeared from the sky and locked it above the sea.

The green light finally took shape and turned into a huge green-backed turtle with two horns on its head, sharp claws and fangs, and countless white corals and jewels on its back, which shone down on the light of the palace water drop by drop.

The huge green eyes as big as doors suddenly opened, revealing a fierce and cold look, and the big mouth opened, revealing deep white and shiny teeth with a faint color:
"You are really asking for more!"

The treasure tripod on the ceiling shook slightly, and the pouring green water finally revealed a green figure, which stopped leisurely in the sky and smiled faintly:

"Your Majesty, this is too unkind. I just want something, and we are negotiating the exchange. How can you be asking for more?"

The Green-backed Turtle collected his body and fell into the air, transforming into a broad-browed, sturdy old man wearing thick scale armor. He glanced at him coldly and said sarcastically:
"Since we have discussed this, why did you use spiritual tools to set up the formation? Blocking the top, bottom, left and right at the same time, does this look like a negotiation?"

Chi Buzi withdrew his hand, gathered a string of dark green beads in his palm, and gently stroked it, scattering clear light and turning it into a stage. Then he smiled and said:

"After all, the king is often in the deep sea, sleeping for who knows how many years and months. I finally caught him once, and I can't let him just stand there and talk to me. I set up this spiritual treasure formation and use it as a residence, so as not to neglect the king."

The demon king, who had transformed into a majestic old man, choked up for a moment, and replied:

"I have seen how shameless you are, Chi Buzi."

He is also a demon king who has practiced Taoism for many years. He had already reached the purple stage early on and has extraordinary bloodline. He may not be afraid of the young man in front of him. However, such a fight would definitely be earth-shattering. He has kept a low profile for so many years to save his life, and he really doesn't want to make any more trouble.

Chi Buzi smiled slightly, as if he understood his thoughts. He sat down at the table without being affected, took out the wine from his sleeve, and said with a smile:

"I have heard of Senior Zeng Zan's great name a long time ago. 'Fu Shui' is hard to come by. How confident are you now, Your Majesty?"

Zeng Zan stared at him and said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Chi is not unaware of this... With my abilities, it is already difficult to seek the Tao. My hope in this life is not great. I can only hope to obtain the Tao in my next life and then seek the golden position..."

Chi Buzi understood what he meant by being born with a Taoist body - it was nothing more than reincarnating as a human being, seeking gold through the Purple Palace Golden Elixir Dao or the Qigong Yangxing Dao, so he clapped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you are very capable - have you ever thought about asking for extra money or leap years?"

The two supernatural powers were not close friends, and if they brought it up for no reason, they must have something to ask for. During the conversation, they were not asking about him, but Chi Buzi's own concerns. Zeng Zan stared at him and said lightly:

"Fellow Daoist Chi, do you want a leap year or a surplus?"

Chi Buzi took a sip of wine, stared at him, and said lightly without hiding anything:
"I cultivate Lushui, and I come to see Senior Fushui who cultivates. Isn't it easy to guess? He Dao is close to Lushui, which is even more obvious."

Zeng Zan narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly calm:
"Oh? Daoist friend, do you have any request for the water in the mansion?"

Both parties are at the level of great immortals, and this matter is extremely sensitive. If Chi Buzi proves his position and there is a conflict between their positions, it is very likely to evolve into a situation of life and death!
Chi Buzi stared at him, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said:
"Old Senior has experienced many vicissitudes of life, it is impossible that he does not know about the [Xinyou Luze Seal], why do you have to test me?"

Zeng Zan naturally knew that Chi Buzi possessed four magical powers. Now that this had been exposed, he was too lazy to pretend anymore and said with interest:
"You now have four supernatural powers. Lu has a master who won't allow you to do so, and Kan can't be attacked. As for the remaining He, Fu, and Pin, why do you have to go to Fushui?"

The old demon laughed and said:

"Reincarnation is so good, if you don't want it, forget it. It's a good thing to be together with the water and the leap year, but you just don't want it. It's irrational. Do you not trust the dragon?"

'Reincarnation?'

Chi Buzi sneered.

He knew how narrow-minded that person was. His soul had someone else's backing. Now he had the opportunity to prove his truth only because he was useful. If he was reincarnated, what value would it have? Dying on the spot would be the least of his worries.

Zeng Zan has practiced for many years, and his Taoism is even higher than Chi Buzi's. Naturally, he understands that Yinshui is the way to reincarnation. Since Chi Buzi has no plans to reincarnate, there are only two paths before him.

Chi Buzi looked gloomy, looked at him quietly, and said:
"Heshui likes leap years, but over the past thousand years, many people have sought Heshui, but no one has succeeded. The entanglement between Luhe is too terrifying. I suspect... it has something to do with the dragon's pursuit of truth."

"Oh?"

Zeng Zan's expression changed slightly and he said with a smile:
"The predecessors may not have enough Taoism. If you succeed and escape from Lushui, wouldn't you naturally be on the same side as the dragons? When the dragons are seeking the truth, how could they object to having one more helper? They will naturally help you."

"Since you think that Lord Lushui will not let you go, without the help of the dragon, your chances of success will be even slimmer!"

But Chi Buzi's eyes were clear, without any doubt, and his expression was a little cold:

"Zhen Chi is a great saint, doesn't he know that one person cannot have two Dao fruits at the same time? There are reasons for the death, and the change of Luhe is very terrifying. It is clear that Heshui likes leap years, and there are many dragon descendants. Now Heshui has only one fruit position, there must be an arrangement. If I rashly participate in it, I will definitely die, not to mention what kind of world is now? At this point in time, performing the leap year of Luhe is not a help in the eyes of the Dragon King, but either stupid or evil."

Zeng Zan stared at him for a long time, nodded and said:
"sharp."

Chi Buzi smiled coldly and replied:

"And I'm heading towards Fu Shui, can't the dragon stand behind me? In this game... He Shui is a dead end, and Fu Shui has a glimmer of hope."

Although his tone was affirmative, his gaze lingered on Zeng Zan's face for a long time. The old demon thought for a long time, and Chi Buzi raised his eyebrows and said:

"I know that you wanted to reincarnate because you couldn't prove the status of Yu. Back then, the Chi clan led to the loss of the vastness of Fu Shui, and Yu has never been able to prove the status of Yu since then. When the last Fu Shui Yu Wei Zhenjun was also killed, the lakes and marshes in the world became sluggish overnight... You reincarnated to prove the status of Fu Shui."

"If there is a Fu Shui Runwei like me in front, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for you to test the Dragon Lord's intentions on your behalf?"

Zeng Zan stared at him for a long time, and Chi Buzi said quietly:
"Lakes and marshes are places for the nourishment of water, gathering and supporting each other. If I really succeed, will a noble descendant of the water be left with nowhere to rely on, Senior?"

Zeng Zan pondered and said:
"But Lord Long and Fu Shui..."

The man in blue stepped forward and said calmly:

"I know that the Dragon Lord does not like the Fu Shui to be strong. The leap position is fine, but since I want the leap position, I have the ambition and possibility to get the fruit position. Maybe in normal times... I would rather give up me... than let the Fu Shui become strong, but now it's different."

"Today's dragons seek truth, and what they seek is the way of the true dragon!"

His eyes were clear:
"Once we fail, there will be a drastic change. We may not even be able to defend the East China Sea... How can we be distracted by the matter of Fu Shui? Fu Shui will be lost. At least they helped me to get up. We have the same interests and there is some fate."

"If it succeeds, then you don't have to worry about me anymore. Heshui doesn't have to be synonymous with dragons. Even if Fushui is prosperous, so what? It's already a level higher, so I will naturally be obedient and don't have to worry about such things anymore."

The man gathered his sleeves and said quietly:

"This is also the reason why I concluded that Senior will repair the Palace Water in his next life. Senior has always stopped at this step in order not to provoke the Dragon King. He will wait until the overall situation is settled before asking for the Palace Water."

Zeng Zan looked at him for a long time and whispered:
"Since you have calculated it so clearly and understand my fate after the Dragon Element seeks the Tao, aren't you afraid that I will be more ambitious and hate you for taking the lead and snatching my chance to achieve enlightenment?"

Zeng Zan's tone had changed, but Chi Buzi smiled and said:
"Of course not. The Black Turtle was wronged so badly back then. As a descendant of the Black Turtle, you are afraid... Who knows if the Dragon Clan is willing for you to take the throne? From any perspective, I am a more suitable candidate than you."

He took a step forward, the color in his eyes was hard to tell, and he smiled slightly:
"I came here today to let you know that I must become enlightened first, and only then will you have the opportunity to become enlightened."

Zeng Zan stared at him for a long time, and at this moment his mind wavered:

'He...may actually have that chance!'

The old demon replied faintly:

"what would you like?"

Chi Buzi's eyes brightened slightly, moved from his face to his forehead, and replied:
"I want this pair of horns, senior."

The old demon remained silent, while Chi Buzi, who was full of ambition, replied:

"I am now cultivating the 'Cold Morning Rain' of the Mansion Water, which is similar to the 'Clear Evening Rain'. It originated from an ancient unique copy and harmonizes the two paths of Lu Mansion. It fits perfectly. However, I am not proficient in the Mansion Water, so my cultivation speed is extremely slow."

"If I could obtain this pair of horns from the senior, I could grind them into soup and drink it every year. On the one hand, it would increase my magical powers, and on the other hand, with the help of the senior's bloodline as a descendant of the black turtle, I could get closer to the Fushui."

He did not hide the greed in his eyes when speaking. Zeng Zan raised his head, looked at him intently, and said quietly:
"I'm willing to give you a pair of black horns, but you, Chi Buzi, have always treated human life as worthless, are untrustworthy, greedy and vicious. You said you would help me after you become a Taoist, how can I believe you?"

Chi Buzi was slightly stunned, and the expression on Zhang Jun's face twisted and he burst into laughter:
"I assure you, you definitely don't believe it. You have considered it very well. It is hard to say whether I will help you or not, but old senior! If you don't help me, I will also take revenge after I become a Taoist!"

He shrugged, and the immortal demeanor finally disappeared, with a smile on his face:
"Or the younger generation...can come and get it themselves!"

Zeng Zan stared at him quietly, and suddenly a strange feeling emerged in his heart:

"Chi Wei is a villain, but he has also been kind... Chi Wei, this junior, is an upright person who despises morality and will do anything to get what he wants. He is a bad guy and a true devil!"

The two men stood facing each other quietly on the sea. The thunder in the sky became louder and louder. Dense purple lightning filled the sky. The rolling clouds were pulled by the "heavy turbidity" and poured down like a waterfall.

"Boom!"

The huge waves fell back into the sea, making an earth-shaking roar. The light of the tripod suddenly dimmed, and a pair of black horns appeared in Chi Buzi's hands.

The pair of horns were as big as mountains, but were shrunk by magical powers, like two daggers. He held them in one hand, and mysterious patterns like lake waves spread on the horns, emitting bursts of pale white light. It was obviously an extremely mysterious treasure!
Chi Buzi's gaze did not stay on the horn in his hand, but focused on staring at Zeng Zan in front of him, as if he was spying on his condition. The green cauldron in the sky was still shining, and it emitted bursts of deadly breath like a heavy turbidity.

The young man stared at the old demon in front of him in a trance, without saying a word, with an expression of interest, as if he was concerned, and as if there was something else behind it, he said quietly:

"Old Senior...Is it okay?"

This green-backed turtle must be weak with its horn broken. How can two horns compare to a whole green-backed turtle? As for all the words I just said... What if they are true? What if they are false?

But Zeng Zan looked calm:
"I took off this pair of horns when I broke through the purple level."

"Oh."

All the strange phenomena in the sky came to an end. Chi Buzi did not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment that his trick had been shattered. Instead, he smacked his lips in boredom, stood with his hands behind his back, pinched the pair of horns, and said with a smile:
"I have so much respect for the seniors, don't take it seriously as a small joke."

Although he said this, there was no sign of the tripod in the sky being put away.

Zeng Zan had an expressionless face as he leaped up into the air and transformed out of thin air into a giant green-backed turtle the size of a mountain. He let out an earth-shaking roar, and his pair of green horns shone brightly, illuminating the vast light of the water in the palace.

"Boom!"

After seeing the pair of black horns with his own eyes, Chi Buzi put away his magic treasure in dismay. He flicked his sleeves slightly and appeared not far away. He easily avoided all the pale white phantom colors and said politely:
"Senior, walk slowly!"

The sound of the waves was earth-shaking. The green-backed turtle that had been flying across the sky disappeared at the same time. Chi Buzi patted his sleeves, dispelling the water magic wrapped around his body, and said with regret:
"After all, if you live long enough, it's hard to be deceived..."

He brought the two long horns in his left hand in front of him and examined them carefully. There was no trace of joy at having obtained a key treasure in his expression, but instead a condescending and cold scrutiny.

The wind and rain around him stopped instantly. The confidence and arrogance he showed when he talked about the Fu Shui Dao Tong seemed like a phantom and disappeared from him. Chi Buzi's eyes moved away from the black horn in his hand and fell on the calm water surface.

A silver figure was standing in the distance.

This man had a handsome face, long eyebrows, a high forehead, a pair of long silver horns, and light blue pupils, looking into the distance.

Behind him, a huge beast as big as a mountain was floating low on the sea, with endless palaces visible on its back. Chi Buzi's expression gradually became solemn.

"Dragon King..."

In fact, he had already guessed that the dragon was paying attention to him. He remained calm and used his magical powers to appear ten steps away from the giant beast. He found that no demon king came forward to stop him. This Chi clan seemed to be standing alone on the water, still admiring the scenery in the distance.

Chi Buzi narrowed his eyes slightly:
"What a majestic presence... Even ordinary dragon kings don't have such a big carriage when they travel... I'm afraid it's someone who serves the prince or the dragon king..."

He felt apprehensive, and slowly stepped forward, bowing and saying:

"Xiao Xiu has met the Dragon King!"

The young man in silver robe did not turn around, but waved at him, made a gesture for silence, and stared into the distance with interest.

Chi Buzi had no idea what the dragon was up to. He bowed slightly and looked in the direction he was looking at. He squinted his eyes and used his magical powers to instantly present the gray scenery in the distance to him:

'This is... and fire...'
