Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 345 They are still children
At this moment, Han Rong was extremely grateful to Yang Jian. He hurriedly bowed and thanked Yang Jian before going to see Taiyi Zhenren.

When Master Taiyi learned that his two unlucky disciples had gotten into trouble again, he was so angry he almost vomited blood.

He was about to go and bring Nezha and Ao Bing back to punish them properly. But Han Rong stopped him.

“Immortal Taiyi, Nezha and Ao Bing are still children, so it’s normal for them to make mistakes. The key issue is that they’ve demolished most of the walls of Sishui Pass.”

"Now that Xiqi has rebelled, the rebel army could attack the Five Passes at any time. If Sishui Pass loses its city walls as defense, the first of the Five Passes will have to be surrendered."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren knew that Han Rong had come to seek compensation. Fortunately, he did not refuse and reluctantly handed over a small handful of Nine Heavens Breath Soil to Han Rong.

"This is the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. Just a small amount is enough to help you rebuild the walls of Sishui Pass. Moreover, the sturdiness of the walls is absolutely comparable to that of a post-natal spiritual treasure."

Upon hearing this, Han Rong smiled and accepted the Nine Heavens Breath Soil while bowing and thanking the Great Perfection Master.

Watching Han Rong's departing figure, Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but sigh and say, "Senior Brother Yuding, what kind of fate do you think I have?"

"Look at your apprentices. Although they are all warlike, they know where to fight and won't cause trouble for others who will come after you for compensation."

Master Yuding said with a smile, "They are still children, why is Junior Brother Taiyi so serious?"

"They're still children," they said, nearly making Master Taiyi so angry he fainted. He didn't say anything more to Master Yuding and went straight to find his unfortunate disciple.

Meanwhile, Nezha and Ao Bing realized they had caused trouble. Looking at the city wall they had knocked down, they quietly discussed how to deal with it.

"Bingbing, if Master finds out that we've torn down the walls of Sishui Pass, do you think he'll imprison us in the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover?"

Ao Bing curled his lip and said, "Dream on. Is locking you in the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover a punishment or a reward?"

"I think Master will definitely use the Three Lights Divine Water to suppress the two of us. He won't let us out for at least ten days."

Nezha sighed and said, "Why don't we run away? We can go to Xiqi and capture Jiang Ziya. Then we can make amends to our master."

The two hit it off immediately, and Ao Bing transformed into a true dragon. Nezha stood atop the dragon's head, becoming a dragon knight, and they headed towards Xiqi City.

This led to Master Taiyi searching the entire Sishui Pass, but he still couldn't find any trace of Nezha and Ao Bing.

They intended to expand the search area, but then they saw a large army heading towards Sishui Pass from the direction of Chuanyun Temple.

Looking into the distance, one could see the banner bearing the name "Qinglong Pass and Zhang Guifang." This indicated that the troops of Zhang Guifang, the general of Qinglong Pass, had arrived.

There was no time to deal with Nezha and Ao Bing anymore, so he went straight back to the General's Mansion of Sishui Pass and told Yu Ding Zhenren about the matter.

Leaving aside Zhang Guifang's arrival at Sishui Pass, Ao Bing and Nezha had already arrived thirty miles outside Xiqi City.

The two little ones did not rush into Xiqi City immediately, but instead landed on the clouds there and began to discuss how to find Jiang Ziya.

After all that, neither Nezha nor Ao Bing recognized Jiang Ziya, leaving them both at a loss.

Left with no other choice, they decided to sneak into Xiqi City first. Then they would try to find out where Jiang Ziya's home was. After making up their minds, the two headed straight for Xiqi City. Because they were both children, they did not attract the attention of the city's guards.

That's right, Ao Bing is also about seven or eight years old. He's no longer the handsome young man he was when he first appeared.

It turns out that Ao Bing was originally a child, after all, his age was about the same as Nezha's.

Transforming into the appearance of a teenager was also a way to project an air of authority, so that others wouldn't disregard him because he was a child.

Later, when he was with Nezha, Ao Bing no longer needed to pretend. He simply reverted to his original appearance and spent his days playing and joking with Nezha.

The two eventually went from disliking each other to becoming inseparable friends, spending every day together.

The two even shot and killed the pageboy of Shiji Niangniang, a disciple of the Jie Sect, at Chentang Pass.

Lady Shiji came to Chentang Pass seeking revenge, but was defeated by Nezha and Ao Bing and forced to flee back to Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island. She even dared not stay in the White Bone Cave on Skull Mountain anymore.

These two little devils have now swaggered into Xiqi City without attracting anyone's attention.

Finally, after wandering around Xiqi City, he found out about Jiang Ziya's Prime Minister's residence. Without hesitation, he headed towards the residence.

Having just arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, by sheer coincidence, she encountered Madam Jiang, who was about to leave. She then went up to inquire whether Jiang Ziya was in the residence.

Jiang Ma looked at Nezha and Ao Bing with immense delight. After all, she was a 68-year-old maiden, and it wouldn't be easy for her to give Jiang Ziya another child.

Seeing that Nezha and Ao Bing were not accompanied by any adults, he asked them, "What do you want with Jiang Ziya? Where are your parents?"

Ao Bing was about to say that they had come to capture Jiang Ziya when Nezha stopped him. Then Nezha spoke up, saying, "Our parents were killed by a tyrannical ruler, and we want to find Jiang Ziya to avenge them."

This left Ao Bing utterly bewildered, thinking to himself, "Your father and mother were the ones Di Xin killed. My father is the Dragon King of the East Sea, and my mother is the Dragon Queen of the East Sea. They're still alive and well in the Dragon Palace."

However, Ao Bing didn't say anything, because Nezha had already glared at him fiercely.

Ao Bing was never as clever as Nezha, and Nezha was always the one who came up with the ideas for his mischief. So he habitually let Nezha take the lead.

At this moment, Madam Jiang finally felt that she had a chance, and immediately said, "Since you have no parents, then be my sons."

Upon hearing that Madam Jiang actually wanted to be his mother, Ao Bing almost revealed his true form and swallowed her whole.

But Nezha nodded with a big smile on his face, and kept saying, "We finally have a mother again."

Then, together with Madam Jiang, they stepped into Jiang Ziya's Prime Minister's residence. As for Madam Jiang's intention to go out, it had completely vanished by now.

Instead, he was thinking about preparing rooms for Nezha and Ao Bing, and he even ordered the servants to prepare some food, fearing that Nezha and Ao Bing might go hungry.

From beginning to end, Madam Jiang was completely unaware that she had let a wolf into her house. Perhaps this was Madam Jiang's jinxed nature, which had already begun to manifest at this moment.
