Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

Chu Wuji turned around and saw the man in the ancient official uniform. He stepped forward and greeted him:

"Second King, are you okay these days?"

The two kings nodded, grateful and ashamed:

"The ancestral system has been restored. I didn't expect it was all thanks to the young master who came from afar, and the Dragon Lord. They are discussing the erection of a statue. Do you want me to ask them to erect one for the young master as well?"

"No." Chu Wuji smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

Chapter 295: Turtle Back Omen

Chu Wuji wanted to find an opportunity to tear down the statue in Chizhao Town, so how could he erect another one now?

But as for the statue of Sister Dragon Girl, we can ask her opinion on it.

"Xuanyin Star Lord, what do you think?" Chu Wuji lowered his head and lightly poked the dragon on his waist.

Sister Dragon Girl now also uses him as a means of transportation. I guess she just doesn't want to walk when going out, which would be embarrassing.

After being called by Chu Wuji, Sister Longnu ended her dozing state and said:

"No need to worry about this, just dismiss those craftsmen. I don't accept human offerings, so there's no need to erect a statue.

It is the water diversion dam that has always protected this place. The people here should always offer sacrifices to the Temple of the Two Kings. This has nothing to do with me."

Men in ancient official robes do not force things, knowing the existence of big monsters and the like, there is no need for courtesy and etiquette. If you dare to be more humble, the other party may think "Are you forcing me to do something?"

He then asked, "Where are the two predecessors who diverted the floodwaters and saved the people and farmland along the coast?"

Chu Wuji could answer on behalf of his mother and aunt in this matter, and continued to shake his head:

"They're even more annoyed by things like building temples. That's unacceptable! Using the waters of the Yulun River to transform dragons and divert floodwaters is a mutually beneficial endeavor. Don't take it too seriously."

The Second King sighed with a wry smile and said helplessly:

"This is the situation I fear most: receiving great kindness but being unable to repay it, feeling guilty and ashamed."

Building temples and constructing shrines to gods are considered the highest expressions of gratitude in the secular world. This is a favor that cannot be repaid with money, and this is the only way to remember the gratitude from generation to generation.

As a result, several nobles who came from afar did not need it, which was really difficult.

Bai Sujin said in a gentle voice:

"If the local people can continue to dredge and repair the site on time in the future, that would be the greatest reward we can give. It wouldn't have been in vain."

Aunt Green Snake echoed her elder sister White Snake, echoing:

"The doctor worked hard to treat the patient, but the patient liked to eat arsenic. If he didn't want to live, he should have told the doctor as soon as possible. Don't waste his hard work."

Chu Wuji did not elaborate on the matter any further. Talking too much would just be like practicing Tai Chi. He pointed at the corpse of the Baxia Stone Turtle and asked:

"Do you want me to put the body back where it was? Otherwise the river course will change."

"Thank you for your help. The stone spirit was born and left its original location, leaving a large pit there. It's not a big deal now that there's a lot of water flowing, but when the water dries up, the flow rate will slow down, and the tributaries won't be able to irrigate the farmland..."

As expected of the temple spirit of Erwang Temple, he is truly an expert in these areas.

Chu Wuji actually didn’t understand. He felt like there was an extra big pit. It should be regarded as a reservoir, right?

But just follow the Second King's instructions. It's just about moving the bodies, so there's no need to think too much about anything else.

He mentioned his plan: "We will stay here for a while, Second King, don't worry, we are just walking around and having fun, and we will leave after a while."

The man nodded. There was very little he could do. He just pointed out some places in the city that were worth strolling around. He said no more and went back to send a message to the team of craftsmen in his dream.

Over in the tent, a group of craftsmen were discussing something when they suddenly became dizzy and collapsed. The soldiers guarding nearby thought it was an enemy attack and someone had drugged the craftsmen.

"Oh no! Quickly inform the city lord! All the craftsmen have been infected!"

"Our city lord has been drowned. What happened to the craftsmen?"

"It must be Wang's ghost causing trouble. She doesn't want us to repair the statue and wants the Dragon Water God to be angry with us!"

The soldiers were thinking about whether to find some Taoist priests to exorcise the ghosts, when the craftsmen woke up.

When the soldiers asked, they learned that they had all been told in dreams that there was no need to build statues, and that they all had the same dream.

"Who sent you this dream? Could it be Wang's wronged spirit trying to harm you?"

"I don't know who it is, but he looks a bit like the two ancestors in the Erwang Temple, but he's not from the Wang family."

After a moment of surprise, the craftsmen confirmed that it was the intention of Erwang Temple and then they dispersed and left.

Chu Wuji listened to their discussion and it seemed that the situation here had alarmed the king of the Cansang Kingdom, who had come in person, ready to bow down and appease the anger of the river.

But this is not something Chu Wuzhi wants to care about, he is not interested.

"Shou Jiangcheng is here and we can't escape. Let's come back later to visit. Let's go take a look at the turtle back picture first, otherwise if we are late, its corpse will turn back into a mountain again."

Previously, Chu Wuji was accompanied by a dragon girl, but now he is left alone.

Mother and aunt occupied the arms and sleeves of his robe, Xuanyin Star Lord was wrapped around his waist, and Tianhu Goddess was a free person, either riding on his neck or hiding in his clothes.

"lift!"

Chu Wuji returned to the corpse of the Baxia stone turtle and mobilized the power of the water god of the Yulun River. An "iron chain" flew out of the river water, slowly pulling the giant turtle, pulling its body back to its original position, and re-forming a bend in the river.

Although the width of the river has changed a little, there's nothing we can do about it. The turtle's head has been flattened and crooked by him. It's pretty much the same.

He flew onto the turtle's back, as if climbing a hill, and it took him a while to find the location of the turtle's back map.

It is like the natural pattern on a tortoise shell, or like it was formed by unintentional abrasion, and is easily overlooked.

Chu Wuji poured a handful of water on it and wiped it to make the pattern clearer, but he couldn't make out what it was.

"I almost didn't find it. Is this considered a scripture? Goddess Sky Fox, what does this thing mean? I don't understand it."

"Just cut it off and have a look. It's so tiring to bend down and look around a piece of tortoise shell." said Aunt Green Snake.

Chu Wuji thought it made sense, and just then he remembered that he had forgotten to retrieve the Fallen Dragon Chopper, so he tried to communicate with the Chopper.

Then, a sharp kitchen knife flew out from the scab on the turtle's neck and returned to the giant blade of the chopping board.

Chu Wuji confirmed that the only thing left in the full set of "multi-functional tool knives" was a curved knife made of Xiuchun Knife. It didn't look thick, but it was extremely heavy.

After Chu Wuji took out the scimitar, the giant blade of the chopping block felt like it had been unloaded of its counterweight.

"So exaggerated? But it's quite handy!" He weighed the feel of it with satisfaction.

With Chu Wuji's strength, he couldn't use any weapon that was too light, it was like holding a twig.

After the Baxia Stone Turtle lost all its vitality, its shell and skin lost their previous toughness. Chu Wuji stabbed the scimitar into the shell, and the shell was stained with the blood of the ancient turtle.

It didn't take much effort to carve off the turtle shell at the location on the map.

He followed the guidance of the Fox Goddess and found the demon pill of the Baxia Stone Turtle, which looked like a pumpkin.

Bring it back to Shenxiao Sect later to see if it can be of use to the immortal monks.

After the turtle back map and the demon pill were taken out, the huge corpse under Chu Wuzhi's feet "decayed" at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it did not rot and stink, but turned back into a mountain.

A huge, bare rocky mountain suddenly appeared on the bank of the Yulun River, but it no longer had the charm of "a stone spirit becoming a spirit".

Xuanyin Xingjun was puzzled and asked in confusion:

"Why does the demon core of this giant stone turtle have a faint dragon aura?"

The "ancient being" Tianhu Niangniang answered:

"Because the 'Ba Xia' clan was originally born from a dragon and a turtle, isn't it normal for them to have the aura of a dragon?"

Jiaolong is a member of the dragon clan, but the dragon clan does not represent Jiaolong, there are many other clans.

Xuanyin Star Lord knew that there were elders in the ancient dragon clan who had done such things, and she felt a little weird.

Chu Wuji thought there was nothing wrong with it and said, "My White Snake Mother, doesn't she still have me, her Qilin son~?"

After joking around, everyone focused their attention on the turtle back picture.

Chu Wuji stood up the tortoise shell the size of a stele for easier examination.

Unfortunately, he couldn't figure it out, so he could only remain silent and not disturb his companions' thoughts, to see if they could figure anything out.

After a long time, the several "demonic" women withdrew their gazes, and it seemed that they had figured it out.

Bai Sujin and the others shook their heads, indicating that they did not understand.

"You can definitely feel that this isn't just random graffiti, but rather that it contains some underlying message, but it's too obscure."

Chu Wuji could only place his hopes on the fox girl:

"Goddess Sky Fox, have you discovered anything?"

The Fox Goddess sighed as she pondered:

"Unlucky me. Half of the 'Baxia Shield' is the ability of this big turtle to resist magic. Unfortunately, it's only half, so it can only block for a while. Once the shield is broken, it can't be reconnected in a short time."

Chu Wuji felt that this was not bad. It was like having an extra passive spell shield to defend against sneak attacks at any time.

"I think it's still acceptable. I wonder if the inner energy can power this 'Ba Xia Shield'. If it can, I'll use this inner energy shield to hit the opponent and hit their lungs!"

Xuanyin Xingjun was more concerned about how the turtle back diagram was translated and understood. She asked:

"This half should be the technique that Tianhu mentioned, but what is the other half? It looks like a sacrificial ritual and has nothing to do with the technique."

"Yes, the little dragon is quite clever. This turtle back pattern hasn't fully grown, and it hasn't formed into a successful method. Instead, it has become a sign of foreboding."

Listening to the fox girl's words, Chu Wuji recalled the legends he had heard before and said:

"Some stories mention that sometimes patterns predicting future events appear on turtle backs. Is this true?"

The Fox Goddess nodded, confirming this statement:

"Yes, but it's not entirely a prophecy. It's like a reflection in water. Sometimes it inadvertently records something happening in a corner of the world. Through these things, some people can keenly judge what is about to happen."

Chu Wuji guessed that this meant that if the picture recorded spring plowing and sowing, then the viewer could "predict" the autumn grain harvest.

"So what does this picture, which looks like a sacrificial offering, mean?"

"How would I know? The Erwang Temple also has sacrifices, and the Gong Mansion in Chizhao Town also has sacrifices in the ancestral hall. There are so many~ But looking at these people's clothes, they are quite ancient. Where else in the world can you find such a simple and ancient settlement?"

Chapter 296 What can I do about my mistake?

The exploration of the turtle back diagram ends here. If you can't figure out anything else, then just ignore it for now. Just understand the "Ba Xia Shield" and leave it at that.

At this point, the things here are almost done. I have been busy since I arrived, and I can finally take a break.

No, there is one thing that has not been dealt with!

The little monsters in Jinlun River and Yinlun River have not been dealt with yet. These two guys occupy the source of the river, which is like an innocent man who is guilty of possessing a treasure.

"Mother and Auntie, let's go back to the lake of Yulun River to rest for a while, and then we'll split up to deal with the little water gods of the other two rivers. This way, your nourishing energy will be more effective!"

After Chu Wuji made the proposal, he did not look around at the crowd.

Instead, he looked at the left sleeve first, then the right sleeve, and out of respect, he also looked at the lapel and waist, using his eyes to seek everyone's opinion.

The women naturally had no objection.

It was a rare opportunity to relax, so Chu Wuji did not use the power of the water god to teleport, but flew towards the source lake at a moderate speed to see the scenery along the way after the flood.

It was indeed a bit messy. The fragile grass and trees were uprooted and became the "garbage" in the flood along with the gravel and mud, scattered around.

Aunt Green Snake calculated the time and asked:

"We need to recuperate here for a while, but Wuji wants to go to the Western Regions. What should we do? Isn't there a conflict?"

Chu Wuji had thought about this matter at the estuary, and he had already made a plan:

"Rest assured and recuperate here. When the time comes, join me in the Western Regions."

After Fu Guanyin arrived in Huotang City, she came out of seclusion after a long absence. She probably wouldn't go directly to the Sun and Moon Kingdom to find the White Peacock.

Most likely I have to meet with Wardfa's Western Region escorts, have a chat, and arrange the development of the escort team.

It took a long time to go back and forth, and by the time we almost arrived at the Sun and Moon Kingdom, it would probably have taken about a month, right?

"Then how can my sister and I find out where you went?" asked Aunt Green Snake.

"My mother has already moved into my spirit cave, so I can contact her with just a whisper."
