Wet viviparity

Chapter 589: Prediction, Xiao Shan'e
When the mermaid Yu Fu, on the orders of Lingxuzi, came to the stone archway of Longxiao Palace again to summon the Kui beast, the Kui beast became instinctively irritated, and discharged electric discharges under the sea for a while to vent its anger.

Kui Beast thought to himself that he was also an old monster. After guarding the Longxiao Palace in the lower world for many years, his thunder magic had gradually recovered, and there was even a sense of destruction and then reconstruction, which made the Longxiao Palace in the South China Sea always peaceful and undisturbed.

Lingxuzi ordered him around like a servant, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. However, he did not want to offend him, as Lingxuzi could check his past and make things difficult for him.

Therefore, Kui beast secretly held a grudge, but still found an excuse to send the mermaid Yu Fu away.

The mermaid Yu Fu wanted to persuade him again. She could tell that the Kui beast had resentment in its heart. It would have been better if she didn't persuade him. After persuading him, the Kui beast was completely enraged. He was hit by several magical thunders and had to report back to Lingxuzi with injuries.

"This evil!"

When Ji Ming saw the miserable state of the mermaid with her skin torn and her tail scales turned outward, his impression of the Kui beast declined.

This Kui beast was called Longxiao Palace Guardian, but he was just a prisoner, yet he really took himself seriously. Although Ji Ming was dissatisfied, it was not worthy of revenge, so he just secretly remembered the matter.

"Great Immortal."

The mermaid Yu Fu said despite her injuries: "The Kui beast is a bit rude, but you must not touch it lightly. There are often thunder generals from the two divisions of the Thunder Department coming down from the palace, and they have a close relationship with the Kui beast."

Ji Ming pondered for a moment, and felt that this mermaid knew when to advance and retreat, and was determined to seek the Tao, so he wanted to show her a favor and plant a fairy in Longxiao Palace. So he said to the mermaid Yufu: "After returning to the South China Sea, you can go to Liuyan Island and find the two kings Linshui and Jiehuo on the island. Ask them to arrange a retreat for you. First, listen to the Taoist scriptures for three years, and then see the effect."

The mermaid was overjoyed and bowed deeply immediately.

She had not expected that she would have the opportunity to seek the Tao now. She was well aware of the rejection and resistance of the orthodox path towards those who practiced Taoism in different ways, and she also knew that she was very lucky because the Taoist in front of her had no such resistance at all.

"Okay, don't kowtow."

Seeing the mermaid naked and kowtowing like crazy, Ji Ming felt a little impatient.

The mermaid Yu Fu took out a shell and handed it to Ji Ming, saying, "This is what I found in Long Xiao Palace. It contains information about rare and auspicious animals in the world. Please take a look at it, Immortal."

"Have a heart."

Jimin said approvingly.

On the Diaoyutai, Ji Ming opened the shells and took a few glances. Most of the auspicious beasts recorded here only appeared briefly in the world and then were never heard of again. It was hard to know where to start looking for them.

There’s no way around it, this is how auspicious animals are, otherwise they wouldn’t be so popular.

However, Ji Ming has learned some information about auspicious beasts from the Taiping Mountain Mansion, which contains some suitable auspicious beasts to choose from. However, for now he still has to go to the Guangyuan Water Mansion for an appointment before looking for an auspicious beast.

Judging from the information he got from the upper mansion, not to mention other treasures in the mansion, the "Bipolar Golden Magnet Mother" at the bottom of the mansion caught Ji Ming's attention.

The Guangyuan Water Palace can dive and rise in the Cangjiang River at will, all thanks to the bipolar golden magnetite mother refined by the first generation Xiduhebo at the bottom of the palace. This allows the Guangyuan Water Palace to absorb the earth's lungs and dive, and absorb the stars in the sky and rise.

If it is refined into a relic bottle, it will definitely greatly enhance the treasure essence of the bottle.

Judging from the information we have learned so far, although the Guangyuan Water Palace has appeared many times, it is still worth exploring.

Unfortunately, he had wanted to check old books and information in Yanshou Palace to make full preparations, but he was unlucky this time because a great immortal visited the Nandou Palaces, and he, a casual official, was stopped outside the Nantian Gate.

This incident also made Ji Ming want to take advantage of this opportunity to explore the treasures in the Water Palace to show off his prowess.

In this way, the Xuanxuan God General in the White Tiger Hall of Huangting Palace can also know his magical powers, which can pave the way for his future promotion to the senior clerk in Yanshou Palace.

Before officially setting off, Ji Ming specifically asked Qing Yangxian for instructions.

Although the Immortal Qingyang did not restrict his freedom of entry and exit of the Taoist temple, Ji Ming had delayed his studies in order to visit the mansion, which was a bit of a loss for the greater good. If he also lost basic etiquette, he might make the Immortal dislike him in the future.

After asking for instructions, Ji Ming did not go to Jinsha Village as agreed by Ding Minjun, but turned to another place - Xiaoshan.

Xiaoshan, three quarters of the yin hour.

Ding Ruyi woke up in the temple.

He had a dream, a dream that was half good and half bad. In the dream, he returned to the Palace of the Wrongly Dead Demons, and was urged by his ugly father to study the Yin-corrupted Demon Flame and dig up the bones of the dead to forge swords. Just when he was extremely resisting, he came to Yanxu Mountain again, and in the presence of many Taoist priests, he worshipped the highly respected Lingxu Zhenren as his teacher.

When he woke up from the dream, the residual emotions remained in his heart, making Ding Ruyi dazed for a long time. He lifted the red brocade on his body and pushed open the bamboo window gently.

Outside the window, the mountain fog was still dozing on the eaves. His bright red Taoist robe was draped on the pine clothes rail. He took a gentle sniff and could vaguely smell the fragrance of Atractylodes lancea from when he picked herbs the day before.

The tinkling of a copper bell under the eaves startled a few sparrows on the tops of the cypress trees, which fluttered over the moss-covered tiles.

"Fourteen years, or fifteen years."

Ding Ruyi tied her hair into a Taoist bun, wore red brocade, a Taoist robe, a silk sash, and faced the bronze mirror.

The mirror showed the face of a young man, his features were as clear and pure as mountain truffles, his eyes were calm, making his otherwise handsome features a little duller, but making him look more extraordinary.

One day's morning class is under the ancient pine trees.

Ding Ruyi then assumed the stance of the "Five Animals Spirit Fist" and, as he moved his fist, he crushed a few pine nuts with his toes.

Occasionally, the wind from his fists startled dewdrops from the pine needles, which dripped into the stone mortar. The sound was like the sound of a chime hammer, which immediately melted away the worries in his heart, making him improve his training and become more absorbed in his boxing.

As the sky gradually brightened, he saw the white air he exhaled wrapped around the mountain mist, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was cloud or fog. In the cloud and fog, there was a figure faintly visible, staring at him quietly.

Ding Ruyi looked at himself, and the red brocade clothes under his Taoist robe shone with blood.

He ignored the strangeness of the red brocade clothes on his body, and even less the figure, because even if he paid attention, it would be useless.

This figure was none other than the Half-Fairy Fairy. Ever since she followed him traveling in the mountains and rivers, the Half-Fairy Fairy had been guiding him step by step on the path of cultivation, teaching him the true method and many treasures.

With the other party's wholehearted help, his Taoism progressed by leaps and bounds. During his travels, his experience also became richer. He was no longer the Taoist child he used to be, but he always had some worries in his heart.

He wanted to go back to Yanxu Mountain more than once, but was always blocked by various circumstances. Gradually he realized that it was the immortal maiden who was behind it.

At the beginning, he naively expressed his desire to return home to the fairy, but ended up being placed under house arrest in this mountain. It was obvious that this half-fairy had other purposes in treating him so well.

"You should go collect herbs."

The figure in the clouds spoke.

Ding Ruyi looked at her bamboo basket, which was padded with freshly picked cypress branches.

When he carried the bamboo basket on his back, he saw a golden silkworm lying inside. It was as long as a baby's forearm, with its front half raised up, holding half a hazelnut in the basket.

When he squatted down to look at the fat golden "piece of meat", the golden silkworm suddenly jumped onto his shoulder. When the golden round silkworm head brushed across his earlobe, it was so itchy that he laughed out loud.

This golden silkworm was also given by the Banjie Fairy. At that time, he didn't know it was the relic of the ghost widow Luo Xinxin. Now that he has raised it well, he has received a lot of her help in his cultivation, but he also has to bear the consequences of Luo Xinxin's actions.

What kind of cause and effect?
According to Banjie Xian'e, he has to help fulfill Luo Xinxin's last wish, otherwise the "secret practice of metamorphosis" that he completed over the years with the help of the golden silkworm will backfire, and he won't even be able to overcome the calamity and start over after his death.

Thinking of the secret refining method, Ding Ruyi felt both hatred and love.

I hate it for dragging me into trouble, but I also love it for its miraculous effects which transform me completely, as if I were reborn in the flesh.

When Ding Ruyi went into the mountains with a basket to collect herbs, the half-fairy girl in the clouds had a sudden inspiration. Thinking of her own arrangements, she hurriedly made a cloud path in the air, returned to the secret cave on the mountain, and began to occupy it.

She predicted the pasts of several people in succession, but only briefly.

Finally, we found an "old acquaintance" from Taiping Mountain, and then we deduced where this person had been in the past few days, and found out that he had come to Xiao Mountain.

Banjie Xian'e is not proficient in the art of divination and can only barely calculate the enemy's current situation, let alone his secrets. If she wants to investigate the enemy's past in detail, she must pray to God with all her heart and sit in seclusion for three or four years before she can get any results.

In the current emergency, all we can say is that the opponent’s power has greatly increased and he’s coming at us with such force that even I have to deal with it with all my strength.
