Book 6: Chapter 35: Guixu

Book 6: Chapter 35: Guixu

Where the Guixu was, even the vast majority of the gods did not know.

The gods only knew that in the legend, there was the end of the world, and the water from the Milky Way and Cang Sea will flow into it, but the water source of Guixu would not increase or decrease.

There were also gods who said that there was a celestial god who drove giant turtles there and established a glorious kingdom.

But Bai Qiuran knew who knew where Guixu’s position was.

In today’s world, the sun god rose eastward and fell westward every day, rising from the east in the morning from the sacred tree Fusang and falling to the west at night, sleeping on the branches of the sacred tree Ruomu. But in a more distant era when neither of these two sacred trees has grown up, the sun and moon rise from the Guixu every day and return to the Guixu again at night.

In other words, the sun mother Xihe and the remaining three-legged crow must know something.

Right now, Bai Qiuran accepted their hospitality in this group of little white people, who used the best food to offer him.

But in fact, it was just some barbecue and boiled meat without any seasoning.

To show his respect, Bai Qiuran still tasted a bit of everything, and then gave them the rest. He followed the recipes of these little white people and went to the island to catch them a lot of prey, and gave them in the name of “God”. It’s his gift to thank them for their help in finding the first Heavenly Jealousy.

Afterwards, he communicated with the old woman through Wise Immortal, then bid farewell.

He didn’t mean to take these humans away. In the current era, it was better to hide under the sacred tree of Fusang than to go to the earth outside and be cruelly oppressed and ruled by the gods.

Being led back to the sacred tree of Fusang by Xihe’s power, Bai Qiuran immediately asked Xihe about the location of Guixu.

“Guixu?”

Xihe asked hesitantly:

“Why did Marshal Bai ask about there?”

“The human race under Fusang gave me clues, and the person I was looking for was there.”

Bai Qiuran said earnestly:

“Goddess Xihe, this matter is very important to me and Little Lan.”

“I believe in Little Lan’s vision.”

After thinking for a while, Xi He nodded and replied:

“I will let my child take you there. However, the journey to Guixu will be very dangerous. I hope Mr. Bai will be prepared before then. At least you have to go back to see Little Lan. The matter between you and Little Lan is late. Eastern Emperor Taiyi seems to be a little anxious.”

“I understand.”

Bai Qiuran nodded.

“Then I’ll wait for you for a while, and after Marshal Bai finishes handling these matters, you can come back to Fusang to find me.”

——————

At the same time, the Eastern Land, in Bai Qiuran’s shrine.

Jiang Lan’s black hair was curled up, and her mother’s jasper hairpin was inserted on her head. She was trying to use the magical power Bai Qiuran had taught her.

A group of highly poisonous mist was condensed on her palm, gradually shrinking, and the toxicity became more and more violent.

But at the last juncture, there was a sudden energy disorder, Jiang Lan quickly dissipated the poisonous power, and then sighed.

Perhaps it was the energy of the divine power that would conflict with Bai Qiuran’s system. Her poisonous power had reached the last step, and she could not make it through.

After rectifying her mood, Jiang Lan, who was about to try again, suddenly heard the voice of the maid outside the palace.

“My Lady, a god is visiting.”

He happened to be out, how could the gods come by such a coincidence?

Jiang Lan had a bad premonition in her heart, but she still replied:

“Wait a minute, greet the god, and let him wait in the guest hall, and I’ll go right away.”

After a while, Jiang Lan saw the visiting deity in the guest hall. The visitor had a dragon’s tail and his abdomen was distended like a drum. Even if he compressed his height, his head was still against the ceiling of the palace.

He looked down at Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan also looked up at him, then saluted him and asked:

“Why is God of Thunder here today? If you are looking for my husband, he has gone out.”

The god who came was the ninth ministry-level righteous god of the sky, so Jiang Lan, as the hostess, greeted him first.

“Righteous God of Plague and Poison, I am here to give things to Marshal Bai by order of His Majesty.”

God of Thunder looked at her for a while and said:

“Since His Majesty gave the marriage, your husband and wife have grown in love, but they have not blossomed for a long time. This makes His Majesty very worried. So today, by coincidence I have time, His Majesty asked me to give you a couple of miraculous medicines to help you two have children.”

“Why should His Majesty be so worried?”

Jiang Lan took the medicine packet from Thunder God, thanked him, and then strangely said:

“It is normal for our gods’ marriage to have no results for hundreds of thousands of years. My husband and I have only been married for a few years, why did His Majesty urge it so early?”

“Well…”

God of Thunder frowned and remained silent.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Jiang Lan remembered Bai Qiuran’s entrustment before leaving, so he called the maid and gave a few words.

After a while, two maids came up with two emerald corals. This kind of emerald coral was extremely rare. One side was emerald and the other was a living creature. As long as it was properly raised, it could continue to grow forever, which was hard to find nowadays.

These two corals were also a gift from Eastern Emperor Taiyi when Jiang Lan and Bai Qiuran got married.

Asking the two maids to put two corals in front of God of Thunder, Jiang Lan said:

“God of Thunder came from a long distance on purpose. It’s really hard to run one more time. A small gift is just a bit of respect, so please accept it.”

“This… Jiang Lan’s righteous god is really too far-fetched. You are one of the nine righteous gods too. We are all colleagues, hehe.”

God of Thunder showed a knowing smile, talking on his mouth, but kept moving his hands, grabbed the two corals, and put them in his pockets.

Sure enough, what he said before leaving was not a joke. Now, even if this treasure came from the most unwelcome god, it could still make God of Thunder smile.

Jiang Lan thought in her heart and asked at the same time:

“God of Thunder, can you tell me His Majesty’s reason for being so impatient? So that we can have arrangements according to his plan.”

“Well, as a colleague, I can tell you some information. Goddess Jiang Lan, don’t you know that there was once a strange human that rivals the gods on the earth? He was born exactly like His Majesty, but he is a human. In the end, His Majesty suppressed him, but at the cost of many gods. After His Majesty, Bai Dashuai is the second deity born in this world with no difference in appearance from the human race.”

God of Thunder looked around, then whispered:

“This marriage between you and Marshal Bai is a reward from His Majesty to Marshal Bai, and the restraint on you is also a test for Marshal Bai. We all know that no matter whether they are combined or not, once the two gods are blessed by the emperor and become husband and wife, they will have some influence on each other’s authority. The couple may even share authority. After Marshal Bai married you, if there is a change in authority, His Majesty can continue to promote him with peace of mind. If not, then It proves that Marshal Bai is a human and will be liquidated… You have been married for a few years, and your authority has not changed. To be honest, His Majesty has begun to doubt the identity of Marshal Bai.”

“I understand.”

Jiang Lan took a deep breath and bowed to God of Thunder:

“My husband is indeed a celestial god. I can use my godhood to guarantee this. Thank you, God of Thunder, for your visiting today.”

“That’s all I can tell you.”

God of Thunder looked at Jiang Lan, and then said:

“Goddess Jiang Lan … please take good care of yourself and Marshal Bai.”
