Prime Minister Gui didn't see Du Heng when he came to visit Jinting Immortal, so he knew that Taihu God's worries were in vain.
He took two attendants with him, carrying a box of precious pearls and a box of precious medicine to the Immortal Jinting.
Immortal Jinting warmly entertained him and invited him to drink tea.
Prime Minister Gui came with something to do. After drinking tea, he inquired about Du Heng's situation. Without seeing Du Heng, Prime Minister Gui felt uneasy.
Immortal Jinting pointed to the sky.
Prime Minister Turtle looked up and saw the dark clouds above the sky. There were thunder and fire in the clouds, because it was the thunder collector who took the lead, and those who were not as good as him would not be able to see clearly what was going on.
Prime Minister Turtle hesitated and asked, "What is your Highness doing?"
Immortal Jinting knew that he couldn't see clearly, so he pointed at Prime Minister Gui's cup again. The tea in the cup turned into a mirror under Prime Minister Turtle's eyes, reflecting the scene in the clouds.
In the dark clouds, three hundred rain workers let out thunderous roars and ran around. Three dragons, the black dragon, the green dragon, and the white dragon, drove the rain workers to push the clouds, generate thunder, operate spiritual machines, and collect thunder essence.
Prime Minister Turtle frowned and said, "Is the Great Immortal asking my Highness to collect the essence of thunder for the Great Immortal?"
Immortal Jinting nodded and said, "This is the first lesson I taught him."
Prime Minister Turtle said: "I will report the truth to the Lord."
Immortal Jinting smiled and understood that Prime Minister Turtle had not seen through the mystery. The Turtle Prime Minister is not a dragon. Although he can also summon wind and rain, it is no longer a natural miracle, but a Taoism that has been cultivated the day after tomorrow.
Prime Minister Turtle drank tea and returned to Shuifu. Things in Shuifu are very busy, especially recently.
Du Heng committed such a great crime, he came to Shenjing Palace to study, and the whole Taihu Water Palace was left to wipe his butt.
The Taihu Water God has not slept for several days. He travels around every day to adjust the water veins and spiritual energy.
Prime Minister Turtle also has to exchange letters with various water gods in the lower reaches of Taihu Lake, respond to their questioning, scheming with them, or coerce or induce them. In short, he must cover up this matter as much as possible and deal with the aftermath as much as possible.
If you cover it up, your future will not be affected unless you are accused to the Golden Dragon King. After dealing with the aftermath, I want to minimize the impact.
Prime Minister Turtle returned to Shui Mansion and told the Taihu Water God exactly what he had seen. He did not add anything to the matter, but simply asked: "Your Highness and the Marshal were born in Shui Mansion, but like that evil dragon, they were sent to collect the essence of thunder. I wonder if Do you need to ask the Great Immortal Jinting to try a different approach?"
Prime Minister Turtle didn't know the reason, but Taihu God naturally knew it well. Du Heng's ability to control wind, rain, thunder and lightning was very rare. Tie Chen had never practiced this kind of practice before, but now he can collect the essence of thunder, even though he has evil dragons. With the help of rain workers, it can be considered a big improvement.
It took just one day to achieve such immediate results? How strange!
Taihu God stopped Prime Minister Turtle from continuing and said, "No need, let Mr. Jin Ting teach you."
Looking at his expression, Prime Minister Turtle knew that there was something wonderful that he didn't know, but with his intelligence, he guessed it and said no more.
The God of Taihu Lake was curious about how effective Jinting Immortal's teaching methods were, and even had the idea of going to ask for advice. But it was just a thought, and he had not put it into action. He didn't have the leisure yet.
If Immortal Jin Ting knew about it, he would probably just smile and say that he couldn't learn this method. If he really learned it, it would only create a gap between father and son and make them more estranged.
However, Jinting Immortal could use it, so Du Heng was beaten frequently.
In the first few days, there was never enough to collect the essence of thunder. So Du Heng let Tie Chen block him if he missed a point and received a whip, but Jinting Immortal would not coddle him, let alone the thunder collector.
Tie Chen blocked it, so he hit Tie Chen together, making a double hit.
The beating with the dragon whip was so severe that naturally he couldn't think of anything else. He could only think about how to avoid being punished.
Soon I was able to collect enough of the essence of the thunder. I didn't get beaten, but I was exhausted. Apart from hard work, I just recuperated, practiced, and slept.
Life is full and busy, but also extremely simple. Without healthy servants and beautiful maids to wait on her, without delicacies from the mountains and seas to feed her, she could live day and night, and her desires would be suppressed bit by bit.
Without the desire to arouse the fire in his heart, Du Heng himself actually felt calmer.
The weather is getting cooler and September is here as expected.
Jinting Daxian often climbs high to look far, but not at Taihu Lake, but at Gusu, or at the earth.
If he couldn't find the Great Immortal Jinting during the day, he would probably look far away from the top of the mountain. Chong Jing would come to him when something happened and asked him what he was looking at, but Jin Ting didn't answer.
Then something unexpected happened.
September 15th is a full moon again.
Jinting Daxian does not collect moonflowers on full moon nights. The full moon is the day when the moon god patrols the sky. If he collects moonflowers, he will be easily scrutinized by the gods. Of course, there are ways to avoid the eyes of the gods. He just maintains his identity as a demon. Jinting Daxian deliberately avoided it.
On the surface, he avoids it and does not show his alchemy energy, but in fact, he secretly practices the method of flying to the moon and understands the principles of Taiyin. After practicing to his level, whether the moonlight falls or not does not hinder his practice.
Only this time is different.
Just closing my eyes and concentrating, I feel upset and restless, there is a fishy smell in my mouth and nose, and there is an inaudible buzzing in my ears.
Gong Mengbi looked solemn as he walked out of the golden palace to look at the bright moon in the sky.
The moonlight was dim and yellow, different from the past, and became darker and darker. Suddenly, the bright moon seemed to have been cut off by a knife, and a corner of its brilliance was missing.
Lunar eclipse!
Gong Mengbi immediately understood why there was such a terrible warning when practicing the Moon Flying Technique today. If a god really enters the Moon Palace, he is afraid of suffering such a disaster, and the spirit god will be ground to ashes on the spot.
The Taoists of Shenjing Palace also stood up to look at the moon. Seeing the scene of the lunar eclipse, they murmured about the ominous omen.
A bad omen indeed.
Like knives and axes, or like wind and snow, the mirror-like moon disk was buried bit by bit in the cold ashes, and dark blood seeped out from the cold ashes.
In the thick ink sky, thousands of stars shine like scattered sand.
In just a moment, yin and yang were chaotic, and a change that Gong Mengbi couldn't fully understand took place between heaven and earth.
In the middle of the lunar sky, the moon god subdues demons, and the lunar emperor examines the world's misfortunes, blessings, merits and demerits, and determines the righteousness of the universe.
But the two-and-a-half-hour lunar eclipse hid the power of the Taiyin to lead the gods and control the demons.
During this period of time, I don’t know how many changes have occurred in the world, how many monsters have appeared, and how many things that should not happen have quietly happened.
It's half past midnight.
The bright mirror hidden in the cold ashes first revealed half of it, and then completed its soul.
Thousands of stars converged in their brilliance, and only the bright moon illuminated the sky.
Gong Mengbi watched the lunar eclipse quietly, and the magic power in his body rose and fell like the tide.
He had just experienced the weakest moment in his practice so far. When the Taiyin disappeared and the stars shone, all of his magic power was almost extinct, and he could not borrow any power from the Taiyin.
Not to mention the thunder collector, even Du Heng, if he took action at this moment, he might be able to escape from Shenjing Palace.
But as his majesty grew stronger and the three dragons focused on the sky, no one made such an attempt.
With the end of the lunar eclipse, Gong Mengbi experienced the extinction of his magic power and regained its brilliance, and derived new changes.
