As time went by, Zhu Jiuyou dived deeper and deeper into the magma, and the temperature in his abdominal pouch became hotter and hotter.
At first, the little Nian beast was very peaceful, but gradually it became anxious.
Ying Zheng looked at Wu Chan and said, "You have some extra ice silk clothes. Give me one."
This ice silk clothing is made of the silk threads spun out by the ice Gu. All ghost hands are basically human hands. After Ying Zheng got back the ice Gu seed insects, his thumb made clothes from the ice silk spewed out by them. The hat and gloves were then given to Wuchan.
Wu Chan responded, took out an ice silk dress from the package and handed it to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng pulled the little Nian beast over and put this ice silk dress on it.
The little Nian beast immediately calmed down, and its rapid breathing gradually subsided.
Ying Zheng touched its little head and said, "When it enters the blue-veined seabed, the temperature will drop sharply again. Then I will put on cotton clothes for you."
Having learned from the experience of being frozen in the ice and snow last time, King Qin, who had long been familiar with the road, learned wisely this time and brought everything with him to keep out the cold and heat.
It would be okay if he came out on his own, but with two beloved wives by his side, he couldn't let them suffer.
"Your Majesty, you said before that the Xuanwu Fruit is extremely rare. If we eat it, are there any other conditions that need to be fulfilled?" Hu Yu suddenly asked.
Ying Zheng said: "The basalt trees are a little rarer. In addition to the one in Jiuyou, there is another one underground in Shennongjia. I heard that there are a few more trees in Longtan, but they are not open to the public. However, although there are few trees, the fruits are very abundant. It will bear fruit soon, so the Xuanwu Fruit is enough to supply the newly born divine beasts, so it won’t be a big deal if we separate a few.”
"Shennongjia?" Wu Chan asked curiously, "Where is that place?"
Ying Zheng explained patiently: "Shennong was the head of the Five Emperors, the first of the Five Elements Emperors, the Wood Emperor. He used Wudang Mountain in the Southern Dragon Vein as his base and transformed an area. "
"This area is now Shennongjia named after Shennong. There are many birds and beasts left over when the Dragon Clan moved there. Shennong improved their living environment and built an artificial lake for them to station there and guard Tianmu Baxia. The basalt tree is on the island in the center of the lake."
Hu Yu echoed: "Wuchan, you just came here, maybe you don't know very well. Shennong is a very important emperor in China. He taught people to grow food and collect herbs, which ensured people's food and clothing at that time. The reason why China was able to form The powerful farming civilization is all thanks to the ancestor Shen Nong, and the "Ben Cao Jing" he left behind is also the ancient book that I learned the most in the process of studying medicine."
Regarding the story of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Ying Zheng had told Wu Chan before, but it was not detailed.
So Ying Zheng began to tell stories to his two wives again.
Unknowingly, the temperature in the abdominal sac suddenly dropped, and the light turned from red to blue. Then the temperature continued to drop, reaching just below freezing point.
Little Nian Beast shivered.
Ying Zheng quickly took off the ice silk clothes it was wearing and covered it with a cotton jacket.
The three of them also took off their ice silk clothes and put on cotton-padded jackets.
The little Nian beast shook his head and whined twice.
"You're hungry, let's eat some more meat." Ying Zheng fed it some raw meat.
Perhaps because of his dizziness, the little Nian beast stopped eating after eating a few pieces. He curled up in a cotton-padded jacket and leaned against Ying Zheng's legs.
"You must be hungry too. Let's eat something." Ying Zheng wiped his hands and asked Wu Chan to bring out dried meat, dry food and water.
The three of them seemed to treat this trip as a trip, eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
The various situations that Ying Zheng was worried about that might happen to the two women did not happen, and the little Nian beast was also very well-behaved.
As time passed, as the light faded little by little, the space in the abdominal sac gradually increased. Ying Zheng understood that this was because the pressure on Twenty-Seven in the sea water had become less, and he was already approaching the sea surface.
As the speed slowed down, Twenty-seven finally landed on Xuanwu Island in the Nine Netherworld.
The three people and one beast crawled out of the belly bag, each stretched their legs and feet, flexed their muscles, and then looked around.
The two women were stunned for a moment.
All around the island is the vast sea, the majestic ocean. At a glance, you can't see the edge at all.
"Wow, this is the sea, it's so beautiful!" Wu Chan couldn't help but admired.
"Yes, it's as beautiful as a dream." Hu Yu jumped happily and pulled Wu Chan towards the seaside.
Two women, one was born in Zhao country and had no chance to see the sea, and the other grew up next to the desert. Not to mention the sea, she had never seen even a larger lake.
Now that I have seen this majestic and turbulent ocean with my own eyes, how can I not be happy?
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and followed slowly.
"Well, let's not come here in vain."
Hu Yu said with a smile: "Not only did I come here in vain, I can even settle down here."
Ying Zheng said: "I can't tell that you actually like the sea so much. Then when I conquer the Yan Kingdom, I will make a home for you by the sea."
"It's true, you can't go back on your word." Wu Chan said urgently.
Ying Zheng took out the imperial seal from his arms and waved it in front of them: "Do you want to put a big seal on it?"
Hu Yu said with a smile: "If you want to get the seal, you have to wait until you get back. There is no pen and ink here."
The reason why Ying Zheng agreed to let them settle down at the seaside was not just casual, but a plan, because the end of the dragon vein in the north was at a location called Laolongkou on the edge of the Bohai Sea.
(Laolongkou, named after the dragon's veins, is also the end point of the Great Wall. Later, due to the "Book of Mountains and Seas", Emperor Qin named it Shanhaiguan. This is a story later)
Looking at the vast sea, Wu Chan sighed with emotion: "I really want to swim in it, if only I were a fish."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Weren't you just sitting in Twenty-Seven's abdominal pouch and swimming for more than two hours? Besides, if you were really a fish, you would be running for your life right now."
"Escape?" Wu Chan didn't understand what he meant.
Ying Zheng pointed at the location where they had just landed, but the one-eyed snake had long since disappeared.
"When it sends us to the place, it will definitely rush to the sea to fish." Ying Zheng explained with a wry smile, "It does this every time, and disappears after it sends me to the place."
Hu Yu said with a slight worry: "It won't leave us here, it won't leave us alone."
"That's not good." Ying Zheng said, "The three of us will live on this island for the rest of our lives, without having to worry about anything in the world."
Wu Chan smiled and said, "If you can really let go of everything, I'll have no problem."
Hu Yu then said, "I don't have any problem either."
"Uh..." Ying Zheng said with some embarrassment, "I just said it casually, why should I take it seriously."
The couple led the little Nian beast around the island, taking in the surrounding seascape, and then walked to the top of the mountain in the center of the island.
Arriving in front of the Xuanwu tree, Hu Yu exclaimed again: "Is this the same tree? Why does it grow so strangely, and the fruits on the left and right sides are different."
Ying Zheng explained: "Didn't I say before that this Xuanwu tree is named after Xuanwu, the turtle and snake leader of the land beast tribe? The red one is called Xuanguo, and the green one is Wuguo."
"After eating the black fruit, it will remove toxins from the human body, while the green martial fruit can enhance the divinity in the subconscious."
"Is it really so magical?" Hu Yu said, "Then what will happen if we eat more?"
Ying Zheng said angrily: "You think it's Linggu Pill. You still have to take it continuously. No matter how many pieces of this fruit you eat, the effect will be the same."
"Then pick a few." Wu Chan said, "It's not easy for us girls to climb trees."
Ying Zheng looked at the little Nian beast.
Little Nian Beast also tilted his head and looked at him, as if to say: "Do you want me to go?"
Shaking his head helplessly, Ying Zheng put the package aside, tightened his trousers, first climbed up the trunk, and then climbed up the branches in a few steps.
After drawing out the Xuanyuan Sword, he first cut down three Mysterious Fruits, and then went to the other side to cut down three Martial Fruits.
Wu Chan and Hu Yu picked up two kinds of fruits and looked at them carefully. "Let's go to the beach to wash up and then eat." Wu Chan said.
Hu Yu nodded, pulled Wu Chan and turned around to leave.
"Wait for me." Ying Zheng jumped down from the tree and followed him.
The two women skipped to the beach, washed the fruit, and were about to put it in their mouths, but were stopped by Ying Zheng.
"Let's eat after we return to the palace. There's no rush now." Ying Zheng said, "Although there is no one on this deserted island, it is still in the wild."
The two ladies seemed not to understand what he meant and asked, "Why?"
"Feed it first, and you will understand." After saying that, Ying Zheng picked up a mysterious fruit and brought it to the little Nian beast.
It seemed to be thirsty, and it ate up the fruit in just a few mouthfuls.
Seeing that it had finished eating, Ying Zheng simply sat on the ground and said to it: "I don't know when Twenty-Seven will come back. You have enough time to solve the problem."
The little Nian beast nodded, jumped up and down and ran away.
"It's mysterious, what's going on?" Hu Yu was impatient, so he asked impatiently.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that this Xuan Guo can expel all the toxins in the body? You can tell me how to expel them. You know, my legs were weak from squatting last time."
Only then did the two women understand what he meant, and couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering.
Fortunately, I didn't eat the fruit in such a hurry, otherwise it would be really embarrassing if I had to line up all the people in this place.
Ying Zheng simply spread his cotton-padded jacket under him and lay on the shore: "Let's rest for a while, I guess it will take some time."
The two ladies responded, lying on either side of Ying Zheng, and discussed with him the beautiful scenery in front of them.
I don’t know how long it took, but Little Nian Beast finally came back. He went directly to a Wu Guo and ate it in several bites.
At this moment, Twenty-Seven also showed his head at the beach.
"You guys are really leisurely." Twenty-seven said as he crawled over, "I have replenished my energy. Are you going to stay here for the night, or go directly to the Ice and Snow Region?"
At the mention of the Bingji Snowy Territory, Wu Chan became more energetic: "Let's go now, before it gets dark."
So, three people and one beast got into Twenty-Seven's belly bag again.
Since we were traveling close to the sea, the temperature in our belly bag was not low this time.
Little Nian seemed to be tired and fell asleep leaning on Ying Zheng's legs.
After leaving the sea, Twenty-Seven began to walk on the land. The beasts and insects in front of them avoided each other, as if they were afraid of being treated as dinner.
The temperature of the air has dropped again. Needless to say, we have entered the ice and snow area.
It's still the same mountain top, covered with snow, and you can see the Ice Phoenix Clan leader's residence at a glance.
The three people and the beast walked out of the belly bag and put on their cotton clothes.
Twenty-seven had just finished eating fish and found a cave to start digesting the food.
Ying Zheng tied the little Nian beast with a rein to prevent it from getting lost.
As soon as they descended into the valley and before climbing up the mountain, they heard a phoenix cry above them and saw a huge ice phoenix heading straight towards them.
Wu Chan and Hu Yu were shocked at the same time.
"Don't be afraid, it's Jiu'er." Ying Zheng said.
While they were talking, Jiu'er had already landed in front of them.
"Long time no see, Jiu'er." Ying Zheng greeted, "Why didn't you sleep on the mountainside this time?"
Jiuer rolled her eyes at him: "I have been unlucky since I was stepped on by you last time, and my mother even told me about it."
"Are you here to pick us up?" Ying Zheng asked.
Jiuer looked at the two women and asked, "Are these your wives?"
Ying Zheng nodded.
"Okay, you guys get on my back and I will carry you up the mountain." After saying that, it lay down.
Wu Chan hesitated, but Hu Yu was extremely excited. He pulled her and climbed up Jiu'er's back.
"If you can't sit still, go climb the mountain." After saying this, Jiuer flapped his wings and flew away.
Ying Zheng was left stunned on the spot, holding the little Nian beast in a mess in the wind and snow.
