Li Jingxun and Qing Hong made an agreement, sealed their powers, and walked the mortal world as mortals.
Their first stop was the place where Li Jingxun's mother lived in seclusion.
Qing Hong had been curious about Li Jingxun's mother for a long time. In Daode Buddhism, there were few rumors about Li Jingxun's family. Zhang Yuanchu and the rest had only heard that Li Jingxun was a member of the mortal world's aristocratic Li family, but there was no news about his mother. Daode Buddhism cultivated the Heavenly Dao, and Daode Buddhism cultivated virtue. They did not gossip behind people's backs. Qing Hong saw that he could not get anything out of him, so he did not ask anymore. This time, he might as well make use of this opportunity to visit.
The two traveled from the east coast, heading in the direction of the capital. This route happened to pass by Jade Dragon Port, and it was the direction that the Tenth Prince had fled in.
That day, the Eastern Demon Sect had chased after the Tenth Prince, and all sorts of dao technique battles had caused the official road to be in ruins. Many crossings were flooded, and even the nearby farmlands were in trouble.
But facing such a situation, not only did the authorities not seize the time to save people, but they focused all their energy on searching for one thing.
Qing Hong and Li Jingxun asked around, and gradually understood. "They are looking for a painting?"
Thinking of a painting, Qing Hong immediately thought of the Cloud Painting of the Thirty-Three Heavens that the Jade Dragon Trading Company had auctioned. "Could it be that they lost it along the way? The Cloud Painting of the Thirty-Three Heavens is of great importance. No wonder the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty is in a hurry to find it. But is it so easy to find it? "
Qing Hong did not care about the cloud painting that Wei Qingchen had made. He was more concerned about the tragic state of the mortal world.
Heavenly Sea Pavilion was famous for its water arts, and the Wild Wave Water Fiend was only less harmful to the earth than Yin Ming School's Weak Water.
When the Weak Water spilled onto the earth, it formed deep and poisonous swamps. Under the sun, the poisonous smoke that came out was enough to kill mortals, and no one could survive within a mile. Even the soil would be poisoned, making it difficult for vegetation to grow.
The aftermath of the Eastern Demon Sect's battle drowned the entire world. Qing Hong and Li Jingxun had only taken a brief tour before they saw dozens of water pools covering the area near the official road in the east, causing a devastating disaster to the civilians nearby.
Qing Hong sighed faintly. "When immortals and demons fight, aren't the common people the ones who suffer?"
"Senior Brother, it's not our Mystic Sect this time, but the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty." When Li Jingxun saw this, he felt the same way: "In the past, the Taishang Palace once worked with the deities to deduce the general situation of the Xuanzheng Chau, and even restricted the Ground Fairies from attacking outsiders. It was precisely because of this that they were worried about."
According to the results of the Topmost Palace's calculations, a single Ground Fairies could cause the extinction of all living things on the continent and raze mountains and rivers to the ground, without the intervention of outsiders and without any tolerance for self-harm. Of course, the time was calculated in hundreds of years. But what if many Ground Fairies worked together to cast a spell?
There would not be a need for too many. Just 50 Ground Fairies working together would be enough to destroy the entire continent in a day.
Ground Fairies were immortal for thousands of years, also known as Earth True Immortals. They were the highest level of combat power in the human world. Whether it was the Dragon Palace, the Demon Sect, the Underworld, or the Mystic Sect, they could all produce this amount of Ground Fairies. The reason why the current Xuanzheng Chau could still exist peacefully was because of the joint suppression of the three palaces. Even if the three palaces had conflicting interests and different Daos. But when it came to protecting the Xuanzheng Chau and maintaining the continent's ecosystem, their positions were the same.
Qing Hong agreed with Li Jingxun's words. He nodded and said, "Immortals and demons have supreme power. It's fine if it's a fight between them. What's wrong with harming the innocent? "
The protection of mortals was Qing Hong's bottom line. Immortals and demons had mighty powers. When they fought with each other, even if they died, they could say that their skills were inferior. But if they attacked mortals, it was too much.
"Senior Brother, now that something like this has happened, our travels …"
Qing Hong put down the iron pot on his back. "You and I are now chefs, so we'll help the people make up for their daily needs as chefs. As for using immortal techniques to control the flood, we'll find our comrades later. "
"Comrades? The flood caused by the Eastern Demon Sect is not so easy to solve. "
Not only did they fail this time. A few experts of the Demon Sect vented their anger on the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty. On their way back, they deliberately poured demon water into the various rivers to take revenge on the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty.
Li Jingxun frowned and said, "It looks like we need to send a message to the sect and get the three thousand disciples of Daode Buddhism to come out. Only then can we solve this flood."
"Why go through so much trouble? There are specializations in every field. Just find a Ground Fairies who are good at it. She was known as the Drought God in the past. Everything has its pros and cons, so she's the most suitable person to deal with the flood. "
"Drought God?" Li Jingxun pondered carefully. "Senior Brother, are you referring to the Drought God Immortal who escaped from the Demon Suppression Tower a few years ago? Doesn't that person have some entanglement with you? "
Everyone knew that the Devil Dragon Ji Feichen had saved the Drought God Immortal. With this relationship, it was hard to guarantee that "Qing Hong" didn't hold a grudge.
In response, Qing Hong laughed loudly. "Junior Sister, that Goddess came to the Rosy Cloud Immortal Abode to settle her karma and told everyone about it. Her grudge with the Supreme Firmament Palace has also been temporarily set aside. Not long ago, we had a pleasant conversation in Daode Buddhism. Wait for me to cast a spell and invite her down the mountain to control the flood. "
"Cast a spell? Senior Brother, don't forget that you and I placed a seal on each other. We can't remove the seal on our magic power. "
"I'm just looking for someone, why do I have to do it personally?" Thus, Qing Hong found the mortals nearby and got them to set up an altar, burn incense and pray, using the power of prayers to attract Goddess Chen's attention.
In the past, Goddess Chen had worn down her demonic nature in the extreme north and opened up a pure land in the bitter cold snow. Thus, she was called the Drought God by the people of the north. Countless years had passed, and her incense was already few and far between. However, there was the protection of the gods in the world, accompanying the prayers of the mortals. She had a sudden impulse in Ningxin Pavilion, and the prayers of the mortals reached her ears.
At this moment, in Ningxin Pavilion, she and Goddess Golden Silkworm were explaining the Great Dao to the cultivators. When she stopped, Goddess Golden Silkworm sensed it and asked, "Sister, why did you stop?"
"Someone in the mortal world prayed to me."
"Oh? Sister hasn't had any incense for a long time, could it be that someone in the north suddenly revived sister's incense? "
"No, not the north, it's the east." Goddess Chen pinched her fingers and calculated. "The Eastern Demon Sect harmed the mortals, using the evil water to turn the eight hundred miles of water into a swamp country. Thus, someone burned incense and begged me to descend with my dharma body to control the evil water. "
When Goddess Golden Silkworm heard this, she clapped her hands and cheered. "This is a good opportunity. Our Ningxin Pavilion has just been built, and we haven't established ourselves in the Xuanmen Celestial Dao. Sister can go to the mortal world to accumulate merit and fight for a good reputation. "
"That should be the case." The female immortal didn't hesitate and directly descended with her dharma body to the east.
In a split second, fire clouds filled the sky, and the water elemental force in the air was suppressed by the fire energy.
Looking at the mortals kneeling below, Goddess Chen pretended not to know. "Why did you summon me?"
The fire clouds were blazing, and a god statue stood tall. When the mortals saw it, they all begged sincerely. "We have lived here for generations, but not long ago, a huge swamp suddenly appeared, and evil water rose everywhere. Today, we have received guidance from an expert, so please be merciful and help us avoid the disaster of the flood. "
As they said this, everyone pointed at Qing Hong and Li Jingxun. But now, the two of them had disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only two cauldrons and a recipe.
On the recipe, it explained how to use wild grasses and wild grains to fill one's stomach after the grain reduction this year. It also explained the shapes and medicinal properties of the various crops that could be used.
Seeing that Qing Hong wasn't around, Goddess Chen thought to herself, "This fellow found me not only to give me a portion of merit, but also because he understands the mysteries of the heavens and knows about the great merit event that happened not long ago. Since that's the case, why don't I help him? "
Thus, she smiled and said, "So it's a request from the Culinary God. Fine, I'll agree to this." After blocking it, she used her divine art to create a dry land, dissolving all the evil water.
Not long after, the people worshiped the Drought God Temple, and also built temples for Qing Hong and Li Jingxun, worshiping them as the Culinary Gods. The recipes that the two of them left behind had indeed contributed a lot to the local people, and they also left behind many famous local snacks.
To Qing Hong and Li Jingxun, this matter was just a small interlude. When the two of them arrived at the place where Li Jingxun's mother lived in seclusion, they felt the corresponding joss sticks descend.
Li Jingxun pointed at Qing Hong and smiled, "Senior apprentice-brother always asks for joss sticks from the gods to study the laws and principles of creation. Now that they've taken the initiative to send joss sticks to you, you don't have to look for outsiders in the future. "
With the joss sticks on their bodies, the two of them faintly felt the corresponding domain. Mortals saw the two of them as the Culinary Gods, and the domain that the two of them dabbled in was the Dao of Food.
Qing Hong said with a straight face, "The Dao of Joss Sticks is the most complicated, it's not something that we immortals do. Now, they respect you and me as the Culinary Gods. The two of us can travel the human world and study the delicacies of the various worlds. We'll leave behind a few recipes to distinguish the properties of the various fruits and vegetables in the world, opening a new path for the Dao of Food in the future. We'll also complete this path and no longer be tied down by karma. "
Li Jingxun agreed and brought Qing Hong up the mountain to visit his mother.
Li Jingxun's mother lived in seclusion in the mountains near the Great Grand Imperial Capital. The Dragon Qi here was rich and suppressed many Outer Daos. Even when Qing Hong walked here, he felt that the Dao Fruit in his body became obscure and was suppressed by the wish power of the people.
The Primordial Spirit was in the Dao Fruit, and he had to be fully focused to control the activities of the immortal body outside.
When the Marlboro Boy saw this, he hurriedly said, "Master, the wish power of the people condenses into Dragon Qi and suppresses both the Immortal and Fiend Daos in a dynasty like the imperial capital. Even if a Human Immortal enters the imperial capital palace, it'll be difficult for him to preserve his Dharmic powers. However, the wish power of the people naturally restrains each other. You only need to use the joss sticks of the Culinary God that you just obtained to dispel the suppression. "
Qing Hong shook his head. "Anyway, my Dharmic powers are sealed, so it's fine if it's hard to sense the Dao Fruit. Currently, the Primordial Spirit can still control the incarnation in the Dao Fruit, so it's not a problem. Also, visiting Li Jingxun's mother doesn't require much Dharmic powers. However, her mother lives in seclusion in such a place with such rich Dragon Qi, so my initial guess was wrong. Her mother shouldn't be a cultivator. "
After going up the mountain, before the two of them reached their residence, they saw a woman washing clothes by the river.
"Mother!" When Li Jingxun saw the woman, he immediately ran over to greet her.
Qing Hong followed behind, but when he saw the appearance of Li Jingxun's mother, his expression changed drastically.
When Li Jingxun's mother stood together with Li Jingxun, one could indeed tell that they were a pair of mother and daughter. One could see traces of the same bloodline. However, Li Jingxun's mother looked more like another woman that Ji Feichen knew.
If Li Jingxun and his mother were 30% similar, then that person was 70% similar to Li Jingxun's mother. They were almost carved from the same mold.
"Why … Why does Li Jingxun's mother look so similar to the The Witch of the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect, Tong Guan?"
