The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 693 Collect some interest
Since the "Chiyou Secret Cave" was a trap set to trap King Qin and Feng Qing, Zhao Chen had no intention of exploring it in depth, so he only touched upon the topic briefly. He soon started discussing with Zheng Qingyan the little monkey that might be related to the "Spring God".

"The essence is the concrete fragment of 'Tao'? I have never heard of this statement..." Zheng Qingyan shook her head slightly and frowned, "and this is more like the description of the scholars of the Western 'High Tower'.

"However, as far as I know, the 'Spring Goddess' is indeed an ancient god from the West. Before the 'Goddess of Light' appeared, she was revered by people as the 'Spring Goddess who controls light and darkness'."

My "箓位" is a combination of Chinese and Western cultures. It has a箓位 name and a sequence name. It is also normal to give it a Western description of "appraisal".

Zhao Chen just laughed at himself in his heart when he heard the second half of Qing Yan's words. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is there any story about this goddess?"

Having seen her "wise" hair color, Zhao Chen was not surprised that this goddess was born in Western Thailand.

"There are indeed stories about her, but not many... The only thing that impressed me most was that she was the creator of Thai opera. Some classic plays that are still popular in Thailand and the West, such as "Water Nymph", "Ode to the Moon", "Song of the Sun", etc., can all be traced back to this "fountain goddess".

"Come to think of it, there was indeed a 'monkey' character in an early version of 'The Water Nymph'... I remember that it played the role of the guardian of the 'lakeside forest'." Zheng Qingyan said thoughtfully.

"The guardian of the 'Lakeside Forest'...what does this symbolize?" Zhao Chen asked.

"How would I know? I'm not very interested in Western operas, and the stories in the operas have been completely changed since ancient times. If you want to know the original version, you have to go to the West and find scholars who specialize in this." Zheng Qingyan shook her head again.

It seems that Feimeng doesn’t know everything about Taixi!
Zhao Chen sighed and kept the matter of "opera" in mind. If he could really meet a scholar who studies this someday, he could ask him about it and find out the specific origins of the little monkey and its mission.

He didn't believe that the monkey was "arranged" to be by his side just to give him a pet.

After that, the two discussed many issues for a long time. It was not until late at night that Zheng Qingyan got up to say goodbye. Before leaving Zhao Chen's bedroom, she reminded him, "If you have nothing else to do, you should leave as soon as possible.

"The Sima family suffered a heavy loss this time. Everyone they see looks like a 'robber' or a 'thief'. You should try to avoid them."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen nodded slightly: "I will take back the 'Youlong Gun' from 'Tian Ding Zhenren' tomorrow and leave."

"Oh, there's one more thing..." Zheng Qingyan, who had already stepped out of the bedroom door, turned back and said seriously, "Before the vitality from the 'Xiliang Queen' in your body completely dissipates, it's best not to 'dual cultivate' anymore.

"If you can't control your energy, it could easily lead to some unpredictable consequences... For example, you don't want to have a child at such a young age, right?
"The point is, there is a possibility that you will be reborn in person."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Zhao Chen to react, she turned into "bubble" and disappeared without a trace, leaving Zhao Chen, who wanted to catch her back to see who would "give birth", with nothing to do but stare blankly.

……

Qiquan Cave Heaven, Yuquan Kingdom, Sima family’s residence.

A beam of sword light fell on the main hall of the palace, revealing the figure of "Seven Lights Fairy" Sima Jing.

This Dongxuan Zhenren, who looked to be in her twenties, with beautiful eyebrows and fairies in pink, slowly walked into the quiet room where her ancestor temporarily lived, bowed respectfully and said:

"Reporting to the True Lord, the losses have been roughly calculated."

The handsome Xianquan Zhenjun, who was dressed in a black robe, kept meditating and asked casually, "What exactly happened?" "During this 'calamity', three 'army commanders' of our Sima family and nineteen supernatural masters died, and the number of those in the Gangsha realm is difficult to count...

"In addition, there were seven magic weapons lost or damaged in total. Later, 'Master Baojian' recovered one of them, but according to the rules, it was considered his spoils of war, and the family had no right to claim it back.

“In addition, the seven lost and damaged magic weapons also include the ‘Great Sun Lamp’ from the Sun Spring Country, the ‘Five Star Wheel’ from the Star Spring Country, and the ‘Spiritual Light Treasure Mirror’ from the Spirit Spring Country.

“Among them, the ‘Great Sun Lamp’ is missing, but Xie Hanying of the Xie family and Cui Zihao, the youngest son of the ‘Princess of Yecheng’, have both appeared in the palace of Jinwu City. It must be one of them who took the ‘Great Sun Lamp’.

"The Five Star Wheel was severely damaged when Xingzhao Sanren broke the palace ban and forcibly extracted the Starlight Treasure Spring. Jing Lan used it in a series of fierce battles and finally destroyed it completely.

"As for the 'Lingguang Baojian', it is suspected to have been obtained by someone from the Zhuge family...

"Now without these three magic weapons, the 'Sun Essence Treasure Spring', 'Starlight Treasure Spring' and 'Spiritual Light Treasure Spring' can no longer be produced, which will affect the cultivation of the tribe members."

After listening to the report, Zhenjun Xianquan finally opened his eyes. Even though he had expected it, the heavy losses still made him sigh. After all, he had tacitly agreed to this.

"The matter of the treasure spring is easy. As long as the 'Ganshuixianquan Jade Book' is intact and we find three magic weapons with corresponding properties, we can continue to produce treasure springs to assist in cultivation.

“Also, if the magic weapons like ‘Great Sun Lamp’ and ‘Lingguang Treasure Mirror’ were taken away, just let them be. This is also part of the ‘calamity’. Taking them back may bring more disasters.

"Since I have set the rules, there is no reason to regret it." Xianquan Zhenjun said calmly.

Moreover, this is the tacit understanding between him and other upper sects and aristocratic families. As long as the other party does not do anything too excessive, he cannot do anything out of line.

Fortunately, although the losses were heavy, they were only some external objects. The only pity was the loss of the three "military commanders". The other lost magical powers were only of medium and low quality, and it would be easy to cultivate them back.

"Yes!" Although Sima Jing was somewhat unwilling, she still did not dare to disobey the order of the True Lord.

"Oh, right, when the 'Xiliang Empress' returned, she triggered the 'Spring God' phenomenon, and the 'Ganshuixian Spring Jade Book' rose up in response, forming a connection with the two keys of the sun and the moon.

"Have our people noticed who the key belongs to?" Xianquan Zhenjun asked again casually.

Sima Jing was prepared for this question and answered quickly, “At present, we only know that one of the keys belongs to Jing Hui’s son Shi Tianzong… According to Princess Liang, he was taken away by the resurrected empress.

"As for the other one, no one has ever witnessed it, and it is currently unknown what it has turned into."

After hearing this, Master Xianquan thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Find a suitable opportunity to spread the news that the two keys were taken away by the Empress and the 'Mountain and River Demon Vine' behind Meng Yuehua.

"Since the Empress has asked Princess Liang to tell the truth, she will not deny it... With this true news, the 'Mountain and River Demon Vine' can't explain it clearly.

"Humph, since you have schemed against my family, I have to return the favor and collect some interest first!"
