Phoenix Clone, Zhu Gu, and Dang Kang formed a circle together, quietly waiting.
"Here they come!" With a gesture, the replica stretched out its hand, and the phoenix wood that had been transported over two days returned with a large pile of spiritual materials and small gifts.
It takes two days to accumulate the essence of the sun and moon, and then another two days to accumulate essence on the original body. So, a round trip takes a total of four days.
The original body will send some small gifts to the members of the divine beast team. Dang Kang likes various spices for cooking, and the red cauldron has limited space, so it's all used to store various spiritual materials that can't be absorbed in time. Now, pots, pans, chopsticks, rice, and oil are all carried by Dang Kang himself. Zhu Gu likes some small accessories such as headbands and small bells. He likes all kinds of little trinkets. Thank you to all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for greatly developing productivity. There are many diverse goods in the southern city. For a long time, the small gifts sent by the original body never repeated.
Dang Kang and Zhu Gu were already numb to the Phoenix Clone's gesture of sending gifts to the team through the phoenix wood. Don't ask, just ask about the Feng Clan Godly Technique.
After receiving the gifts, the low morale of the team finally increased a bit.
When the divine beast team left Dongting Lake, the Dragon King of Dongting Lake told them very kindly about the route to Qin River.
According to Deng ChanYu's estimate, this is a route from Dongting Lake westward, first entering Sichuan, then following the path of Zhuge Xiang's northern campaign by going through Qishan, and finally reaching the Jing River.
The Dragon King of Dongting Lake said that the humans in the north were at war, and he referred to the southern city. The replica was originally meant to avoid human activity areas, so it wouldn't naturally go any further north, and entering Sichuan was the only choice.
And then...... they got lost!
"Look at the look in your two eyes, can this be blamed on me? Weren't there dangers on that road before?!" The clone muttered with a hint of dissatisfaction.
The two little partners received the gifts this time and didn't argue.
It was probably three days ago. They were eating barbecued meat and singing songs while walking along the road when, suddenly, the clone saw three bright red big characters on the mountain cliff in the distance.
"Fallen Phoenix Slope!"
At the time, she spat out the juice in her mouth. Then she hurriedly pulled Dang Kang and Zhu Gu to take a detour, detour after detour, and finally became lost......
......
"What fine things are you two eating, so fragrant? Can you let this old bear have a taste too?" While the three divine beasts were eating, a rough voice suddenly echoed in their ears.
The three divine beasts looked at each other, and the Phoenix Clone reacted the fastest. She jumped onto Zhu Gu's back and signaled for them to run fast!
"Haha? Wait a moment, wait a moment......ouch......" The prepared lines were interrupted by the Phoenix's unexpected move. The rough voice could only switch to another idea: "Ah, stop running, really. I'm not a bad bear. It's been a long time since someone came to chat with me. If you talk with me, I'll......I'll give you a scroll of celestial scripture!"
The Iron-Eating Beast was filled with resentment and bitterness. The Nine Heavens Celestial Maiden, including all those capable individuals, had hearts as black as ink! They were full of tricks, always taking advantage of someone like this honest bear! After all that gratitude on his part, they ended up giving him three broken books he couldn't even understand!
The moment he saw the Phoenix Clone appear, he immediately understood the intention of Nine Heavenly Fairy, so she was waiting for this bear of mine here?
Alright, I'll play tricks on you too. First, I'll give you a scroll.
The replica on the other side was also scared.
These days, the name "celestial scriptures" cannot be called casually. The sky is the biggest, and if the sky does not admit it, all the more skillful your writing is, it's useless. Celestial scriptures can take shape and be shown to others, which is definitely recognized by the Tao of Heaven.
"Is that really a celestial scripture?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Just talking with you and showing you celestial scriptures?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Is it really so? I don't believe it."
Iron-Eating Beast: "......"
Can we chat properly? In ancient times, if you spoke like this, you would have been beheaded!
The replica looked at Zhu Gu.
Zhu Gu has the ability to discern auspicious and inauspicious things, Dang Kang's ability in this aspect is a bit weaker, but he also has some. The clone has been pulling them westward all the way, gathering the combination of divine beasts, auspicious beasts, and benevolent beasts. One aspect is that they have a good relationship. On the other hand, they need to be bound together! If some monsters swallow all three of them at once, it would be equivalent to committing a crime against heaven. The next second, heavenly thunder should arrive!
Zhu Gu didn't sense any danger, so the clone decided to take a risk and try for the celestial scripture.
They found a rugged mountain path, and after walking for nearly a coagulated bamboo shoot, they came to a cave. Inside, they saw a giant beast lying on the ground, its limbs spread out. It looked like the water prison technique of Taohua's Zaidi in the novel "Rei Doike Zaiyu". An elliptical rotating giant water ball was pressing it down, unable to move. Only its chubby head was sticking out.
The Phoenix Clone: "......"
The round, chubby body, black eyes and ears, a chubby face... This thing... Is this a panda?
"Alas! Little Phoenix, just give me the celestial scripture, and you can chat with me old bear." The panda was very willing. A green book cover suddenly appeared in the air, just a finger-thick ancient book.
The replica immediately picked it up and took a look. First, he examined the book cover and then flipped through the content: "Hmm, this is Feng Zi (a form of ancient Chinese script). This book seems quite ancient."
Dragon script, Phoenix script, these are the oldest forms of writing, older than the Taoist characters used by the mystical sects. Fortunately, the replica's bloodline contains this information, or else she would have been as blind as a bat.
The panda made a face, but didn't say anything.
How fresh! If it were ordinary Taoist characters, would I give you a look? Do you think I'm stupid?
He was quite optimistic and quickly discarded his unhappiness, chuckling and telling Zhu Gu a joke.
Dang Kang happily opened with "stupid pig," which made the panda roll his eyes. Where did you get that stupid pig? Fortunately, he has self-awareness!
The replica, accustomed to dual-line operation, was flipping through the celestial scripture while conversing with the panda. Both activities were not affected by each other.
"As a major general of the Chiyu faction, I was virtually unbeatable on the battlefield back then. From south to north, from west to east, with my Tiger's Spirit Sword in hand, I charged into battle and chased those Yanyang tribesmen for their lives!"
"Once, Yinglong came to launch a surprise attack. You know Yinglong, a pretty bad guy. Then I found him and sat on his back, pressing his dragon head, and punched him with a fist as big as a pot. I laughed as I asked him 'Dare you to come for another surprise attack?' 'Do you regret it?' That guy begged for mercy and cried out in fear. Hahaha——!"
"Another time, Xuanyuan used his broken Xuanyuan Sword to cut the old bear. I told him, 'I stand still and let you cut.' Do you know what? That guy even got tired from cutting, and I still didn't lose a single hair. Hahaha——!"
The panda puffed out his cheeks and told the story in an emotional and rhythmic manner. Dang Kang and Zhu Gu were both mesmerized by the tale.
The replica rolled her eyes, thinking that the panda was just bullying the two little ones for being illiterate. What you're saying sounds like something Chiyu would do. You must know that Chiyu is dead, so he can't come back to beat you up, right?
