As the saying goes, "Silence breeds concentration, and concentration breeds wisdom." Without wisdom, it is difficult to comprehend anything, and one will only feel upset and confused.
The counterexample to Chu Wuji is Xuanyin Xingjun. He really calmed down and comprehended the aura of the ancient ferocious beast. He got a glimpse of the whole situation and used this contact to observe a higher level of realm.
Seeing that Sister Dragon Girl was so focused, Chu Wuji did not disturb her. He simply took Fu Guanyin shopping, and was also taking Goddess Tianhu to see the exotic scenery.
This was the deal they made when they first met last year. The Sky Fox Queen was responsible for leading his growth, and he was responsible for making the Sky Fox Queen happy and taking her around to have fun.
This incident cannot be forgotten.
Chu Wuji and Fu Guanyin asked, "Guanyin, didn't they say before that the Sun and Moon Kingdom had that kind of weather phenomenon? Is there a chance to see it?"
Fu Guanyin shook her head: "It should be the month yet."
That would be a pity. The capital of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, under the control of a female national teacher, is very disciplined and well-organized, but it does not have that lively feeling of fun and is not as lively as Huotang City.
If we can't wait for that kind of weather phenomenon, there's no need to stay here for too long.
"Stay for another half a day and let the white peacock bring out some food and drinks to entertain us, then we'll go back!" Chu Wuzhi suggested.
"Well, you can come with me to the secluded oasis of the Holy Fire Sect. The scenery along the way is nice." Fu Guanyin recalled some beautiful places in her mind to facilitate route planning.
At this time, several maids from the palace came running over, relaying the words of the Imperial Master:
"Mr. Chu, Miss Fu, the Imperial Master wants to see you. She said a group of immortal cultivators have arrived. Please come forward to contact them."
Immortal cultivator?
Chu Wuji remembered the Kongtong Mountain monks he met on the road. They were active in remote areas of the Western Regions, carrying out patrol missions for the sect. They probably came here during their inspection and discovered something unusual.
If Chu Wuji had not come to find Bai Kongque this time, the Qiongqi would probably have been an unsolved case again. If the cultivators from Kongtong Mountain had rushed over, the capital of the Sun and Moon Kingdom would probably have been demolished in half.
But it was fortunate that they were not around here at the time, otherwise they would have been wiped out by Qiongqi.
"Okay, I'll go over and meet them. Is the Imperial Master there too?"
"Yes, the Imperial Master is waiting for Master Chu's arrival." The maid replied respectfully.
"Okay, you guys go back."
Chu Wuji remembered the information about the painted boat ghost and decided to tell Bai Kongque about it.
Before, she lacked understanding of the existence of the ancestral spirits. If he told her the information without any evidence, Bai Kongque might not believe it. She might think that Chu Wuji was helping Fu Guanyin make up stories and refute her.
Now that they have experienced it firsthand, Xuan Yi and Bu Miao have even witnessed the entire process of the sacrifice, so it will be much easier for White Peacock to understand.
Returning to the place where Qiongqi appeared, Chu Wuji saw the group of cultivators from afar. They were the group from Kongtong Mountain.
When the team leader Xu Fuji saw that Chu Wuji was really here, he flew over to greet him and asked hurriedly:
"Brother Chu, has the spirit of our ancestors really appeared here?!"
Chapter 325: The Qiongqi Magical Power of Kunlun Ruins
The group from Kongtong Mountain initially suspected that there was something wrong with the White Peacock. However, the appearance of the ancestor's spirit benefited the Sun and Moon Kingdom at the lowest cost and did not cause serious damage. This seemed a bit suspicious!
Maybe the Shenshui Cult is secretly experimenting with sacrificial techniques!
When they realized that the matter had gotten out of hand, the Shenshui Sect hurriedly used secret techniques to eliminate the spirits of their ancestors in an attempt to conceal their tracks.
Even though Bai Kongque had explained it once, the monks of Kongtong Mountain still suspected that there was something wrong.
There have been so many strange incidents, and whenever the spirit of the ancestors appeared, the scene would be in chaos, with countless casualties and almost no survivors.
It wasn't until Chu Wuji showed up again that they had more trust in him.
"Brother Chu, the female state teacher of the Sun and Moon Nation said that the appearance of the ancestral spirit had nothing to do with them. Is this true or false?"
Chu Wuji nodded, and after a brief introduction, he said:
"This is indeed true. The spirits of the ancestors were sacrificed by potential forces. I paid a considerable price to resolve the problem. I will explain the situation to the elders of Kongtong Mountain later."
The monks of Kongtong Mountain felt that Chu Wuji's answer was both enthusiastic and indifferent.
The enthusiasm lies in the fact that he answered so completely, including the mastermind behind the chaos, who was the solution, and the subsequent explanation to his master.
These were the key points of intelligence that Xu Fuji and others wanted to inquire about. Chu Wuji answered them all in one breath, so frankly that they were not used to it. In the past, when they went out to handle tasks, they had to give two eggs to the villagers if they asked for some intelligence.
His indifference lies in his unwillingness to say more. It seems that he is not in the mood to chat. He simply finishes what he has said and does not want to say another word.
The monks in Kongtong Mountain are not stupid and they can still understand this meaning.
This may be related to the price Chu Wu Ji paid.
Team leader Xu Fuji bowed and said goodbye:
"That's all we know about the situation. We must return to the sect immediately and report the situation..."
The Kongtong Mountain disciple next to him kept blinking, reminding the team leader that he had forgotten something. Only then did Xu Fuji remember a piece of information.
"Brother Chu, what does the ancestral spirit that appeared this time look like?"
"The powerful beast from ancient times, Qiongqi, its tail is also fused with Huodou, it is also a ferocious beast."
"Qiongqi... There seems to be a magical power over at Kunlun Ruins that is related to this ancient ferocious beast."
After Xu Fuji finished speaking, he didn't think any more about it. He had only heard of it, and when he heard the familiar name, he thought of Kunlun Ruins. In fact, he had never seen this magical power with his own eyes.
"Then we will leave first and return to the sect to report. By the way, we will try Brother Chu's previous cultivation ideas. I look forward to meeting you in Kongtong Mountain!"
After the ceremony, this team of immortal monks moved in unison, the swords on their backs were unsheathed by themselves, and they flew away on the swords.
In broad daylight, the action was a bit ostentatious, causing the people of the Sun and Moon Kingdom to be amazed.
But if they had not discovered signs of unrest here, the monks of Kongtong Mountain would have been more low-key and would not have disturbed the civilians.
Chu Wuji watched them leave and then came to the female imperial teacher.
Bai Kongque was not stunned. When she saw Chu Wuzhi's gaze, she moved lightly with lotus steps. Her whole temperament was solemn and elegant, but her naturally charming purple hair exuded a unique charm.
"Thank you, Master Chu, for your help! Seeing those immortal cultivators coming to question us with their swords on full alert, I almost thought I would be the one to take the blame. With so many incidents of disorder involving the ancestral spirits, I'm afraid they will all be blamed on me."
Chu Wuji nodded slightly, understanding her worries. Once you take on this kind of blame, no one will care whether it is true or not. Even if you "dismember" the sun and the moon to investigate, outsiders will think you are hiding it well.
"Don't worry about that. In the future, there may be other immortal cultivators coming here to inquire about Xiaoyao Valley, Shenxiao Sect, and Kongtong Mountain. You just need to tell me my name and I will help you explain."
The beautiful imperial teacher couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and looked at him meaningfully.
The tone of his words was really loud. Disciples from the immortal sect might not dare to say that their names were useful in other sects, but he was so confident. Moreover, Chu Wuzhi was hanging out with a group of big monsters.
It's really hard to understand!
The white peacock was sensible enough not to ask further questions and bowed slightly:
"If I'm really questioned, I'll have to rely on Mr. Chu's great reputation.
I'll accompany Master Chu back to his room. Thank you for coming out all this time!"
Chu Wuji shook his head. He hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Once before, I was in the ghost market and accidentally heard about the National Master's hometown, which was also related to the spirits of ancestors..."
The white peacock showed a look of surprise, then listened to the news seriously with a serious expression.
Now, Bu Miao and Xuan Yi have been following and witnessing Wu Zhong's style of doing things. Wu Zhong monks like to secretly instigate conflicts.
Then, the hometown of the white peacock may not be a simple verbal conflict, but may be secretly manipulated by the monks of the Wuzhong Tomb.
The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Maybe Wuzhong is indeed behind this, but it still can't change the potential drawbacks of the Water and Fire Cult!"
Chu Wuji did not refute, he nodded lightly:
"The Imperial Master is right. I'm not here to debate with you. The Water and Fire Sect certainly has its problems as you mentioned. I'm simply sharing some inside information with you. That's your hometown, and you should be aware of the situation."
The white peacock was stunned, and its beautiful amethyst eyes trembled slightly.
That’s right. If Chu Wuji wanted to argue with her, he would have spoken long ago when he was asking and answering questions with Fu Guanyin.
The beautiful imperial teacher calmed down and said sincerely:
"Thank you for the information, sir..."
"I'll stay for half a day and then leave. Prepare a delicious meal for me as a thank you." Chu Wuzhi was not polite at all, as if he was an old man in the store ordering food.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" White Peacock thought he would stay longer.
Because after Xuan Yi returned to the underground shrine, she claimed that she had completed the reunion between mother and son, letting Chu Wuji know her identity. Shouldn't they reminisce and chat more?
Chu Wuji mentioned his plan: "After a while, probably less than half a year, I will come back and ask for help from Saint Hehuan. She should be here by then, right?"
"If Master Chu has such a need, I will keep her here waiting." Bai Kongque made the decision for Bu Miao.
Chu Wuji had nothing else to say. He looked at the desert again and prepared to turn around and go back to his room.
The yellow wind blew again, and the plain-like desert disappeared. A few sand dunes returned, and traces of the previous battle could still be barely seen.
Compared to the vast desert and Gobi outside, the desert here is like a basin, with the terrain directly sunken in.
White Peacock was traveling with him, and they were also going back to the capital. She didn't want to see this broken desert again.
This would remind her of the moment when Qiongqi appeared, and how fragile the Shenshui Sect that she had worked so hard to build was.
"Mr. Chu, I will naturally arrange the best food. What do you like, young lady? What kind do you like?"
"No need, I'll leave after tasting the delicacies of the Sun and Moon Kingdom." Chu Wuji declined the enthusiasm of the beautiful national teacher.
He really liked the graceful dancer with Western style, but if he really agreed.
By then, Xuan Yi would probably appear in the room, staring at him with red eyes, and scolding him for his bad behavior.
Xuan Yi and Bai Sujin's inner temperaments are similar in many aspects. Bai Sujin has always allowed him to find girls and supported him in finding several girls, but she just doesn't allow him to go to places of entertainment to seek pleasure.
White Peacock just wanted to cause trouble for him, what a scheming woman!
Chapter 326 Jiujiu: I’ll do my best!
"How come you have alcohol here? Didn't the Sun and Moon Kingdom issue a ban on alcohol? It seems that it was issued by you, the Imperial Master, yourself..."
Chu Wuji looked at the boxes of fine wine and couldn't help but express such confusion.
After returning to the royal palace, Chu Wuji waited patiently for the food to be served while chatting with Goddess Tianhu and Fu Guanyin.
The cuisine of the Western Regions is mainly meat-based, such as roasted lamb legs, roasted lamb chops, roasted lamb eggs... Each part is removed and roasted separately, and it can be considered a dish.
Although Chu Wuji knew very well that different parts of the lamb required different cooking temperatures and that the cooking methods, seasonings, and other ingredients were all the same, and that it could indeed be considered a new dish, he was still somewhat amused when he saw this whole lamb feast.
Chu Wuji thought that was the end of it, so he asked the maid if there were any new dishes.
Unexpectedly, the maid said that there was another roasted whole lamb that was not yet cooked and was being urgently processed in the kitchen...
The Fox Goddess loves to eat meat, so she can accept this feast, except that it is unfair to Fu Guanyin's stomach.
Halfway through the meal, Bai Kongque personally brought over a few bottles of exquisitely packaged wine, which really made Chu Wuji feel the grandeur of this banquet!
White Peacock didn't think there was anything strange about it. She said as a matter of course:
“The original intention of prohibition was to reduce drunken brawls, especially those involving those who had learned magic. Their drunken brawls would inevitably result in serious casualties.
As for these wines, they are rare items that were confiscated earlier. It would be a pity to destroy them, so I have been keeping them. It is just the right time to let Mr. Chu, an outsider, help me to 'sell the stolen goods'~"
Fu Guanyin didn't say anything, but knowing the reason, she couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
It would actually be more reasonable if people could be controlled to drink at their discretion. Unfortunately, this is not very realistic. The correction is ineffective and the law is meaningless.
The weather in the Western Regions is dry, and many people drink wine as water to quench their thirst. Once the tongue touches the wine, it is difficult to "drink with moderation", and most people cannot use spiritual power to sober up.
"Alright, everyone, enjoy your meal. Take your pick of the bottles you'd like. These contain the finest wines passed down from the noble families of the Sun and Moon Kingdom. I won't say goodbye after this. Feel free to leave."
The white peacock controlled the boxes of wine to land on the ground, turned around and left, riding the peacock back to the underground altar.
Chu Wuji looked at the boxes of wine, then turned to Fu Guanyin and asked:
"Guanyin, do you want to drink? Which bottle should I open?"
Fu Guanyin has no habit of drinking, but she can drink a lot. If Chu Wuji wants to drink, she is happy to cheer him up.
"Let Lady Sky Fox choose. Perhaps we can even invite Senior Jiujiu to come drink with us?"
After the blonde finished speaking, the fox ears on her head twitched in agreement:
"That's great. If a drunkard immortal comes to drink with us, the atmosphere will be much more lively~"
