Ji Yuan seemed to know what Yaksha was thinking. He turned around and looked at the water patrolman who was following him closely.
"If you want to repay Mr. Ying, go now. It is your duty and you still have to fulfill your obligations."
Yaksha quickly bowed and saluted.
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Ji. I understand. I will ask others to lead the way for you..."
"No need, I'm familiar with the Tongtian River Dragon Palace."
When Ji Yuan said this, Yaksha's eyes flashed with thoughts. He thought that maybe Mr. Ji didn't want to be disturbed, so he quickly responded.
"Yes, then I'll take my leave!"
After saying this, Yaksha quickly picked up a stream of water and rushed out. A moment later, he was in the main hall. Then he carefully passed by the side and came to the side of the old dragon. The latter was holding a teacup and chatting with several dragon kings. Yaksha's voice transmission also sounded in his ears.
"Lord Long, I heard a piece of news from Mr. Ji, and I came to report it."
The old dragon squinted at Yaksha and spoke in a low and expressive voice.
"explain."
"Replying to Lord Long, Mr. Ji did not say it explicitly, but he went to the outside of the Dragon Palace to see the venue of the Yanjiang Banquet, and said that there would be a good show to watch at that time. I dare not not report it, so I came back to report it after obtaining Mr. Ji's permission."
Lao Long smiled.
"You're smart. Go down."
Yaksha looked up at the old dragon, then quickly lowered his head, then slowly backed away. Since the Dragon King didn't say what to prepare, it was none of his business.
Accountant Yuan and Zao Niang have already left the Dragon Palace. The density of aquatic creatures outside has instantly increased many times, and the demonic aura is not much lower than that in the Dragon Palace. In addition to real dragons and some special aquatic creatures, there are also many extraordinary aquatic creatures who can come to Tongtian River.
When Ji Yuan and Zao Niang came out from the main gate of Dragon Palace, they certainly attracted the attention of the aquatic creatures who were waiting in line to give them gifts, but soon they seemed to merge into a stream of water and disappeared in front of all the aquatic creatures. This skill of controlling water was not just a piece of cake, but it was silent and effective.
"Sir, what's the show?"
“I can see people I know.”
Ji Yuan turned around and smiled at Zao Niang, then looked at the wide area around the riverbed. In addition to the waterways on both sides, there were already stone platforms rising from the bottom of the river in the center of Tongtian River, gradually turning into tables.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the banquet, many aquatic creatures were busy at the front and back, and a series of bubbles were forming in the water so that the food and wine could be served.
The number of aquatic creatures stretching at the bottom of the river made Ji Yuan think back to the Banquet of Ten Thousand Monsters in Heihuang. Of course, the demonic aura here was completely different from the feeling back then. Ji Yuan couldn't say that all the monsters here were clean, but they were all well-known aquatic creatures from inland and the four seas, and there were also many righteous gods, unrighteous gods, and other gods. There were definitely very few who did evil for the sake of doing evil.
"An acquaintance? Who?"
"Mother Zao? It's good to be curious, but isn't it good to leave a surprise for everything?"
Ji Yuan smiled like that, and Zao Niang also smiled.
"Well, okay, as long as the gentleman says he is happy!"
Ji Yuan's smile faded and he looked forward.
"Yeah? For us, yes."
…
On the other side, Xiezhi and Hu Yun had already slipped out of the side hall. As soon as they went out, Yaksha and Yu Niang who were guarding outside saluted and explained to them.
"Mr. Xie, Mr. Hu, now that there are so many people inside and outside the Dragon Palace, it's easy to get lost. If you want to go out, please allow us to accompany you."
Hu Yun looked around and saw seven people standing on both sides, three Yakshas, four women with big bodies and fish tails.
"Are you all going?"
"Replying to Mr. Hu, you only need to follow one person."
Hu Yun looked at Xiezhi, who nodded and pointed at Yu Niang.
"Okay then, it's you."
After saying that, Xiezhi strode away with Hu Yun, while Hu Yun was still laughing and actually called him Mr. Hu, which felt pretty good.
However, as soon as Hu Yun came out of the quiet place behind the palace, he began to feel scared. There were too many water monsters outside, and the demonic aura of each one was terrifying to him. Looking at his master beside him, he didn't even show any demonic aura at all.
Moreover, this was different from being with Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji did not exude any spiritual energy, but Hu Yun knew that Mr. Ji was very powerful, extremely powerful, and his cheap master even borrowed his magic power from Mr. Ji. If something went wrong, he might not be able to handle it. However, Hu Yun looked back at Yu Niang who was following him, and he felt more at ease. After all, he was in the territory of the Dragon King.
"Hey, Master, please slow down."
Hu Yun hurriedly caught up with Xiezhi. The former glanced at Hu Yun, walked faster, and his eyes wandered in all directions unscrupulously.
"Why are there only little loaches?"
Hu Yun quickly followed and grabbed Xiezhi's arm.
"Master, Mr. Ji is not here right now, please don't say anything nonsense."
"What are you afraid of? We are still in the Dragon Palace. Let's go to the front and take a look at those who are qualified to be seen by the Ying family."
The two of them, one daring to walk and the other daring to follow, soon reached the entrance of the Dragon Palace and went straight into the main hall.
Xiezhi was still looking left and right when he suddenly heard a clear female voice coming from afar.
"Little fox—little fox—"
"Hmm? Is someone calling me?"
The little fox perked up with a start, and Xiezhi looked down at him.
"Besides you, is there another fox at the bottom of Tongtian River?"
Xiezhi raised his head and looked towards the distance again, frowning slightly. How could a big fish that couldn't even change its shape see through Hu Yun's transformation at a glance
You have to know that Hu Yun's Taoism is a little lacking, but the foundation he laid by Ji Yuan is terrifying, otherwise he would not have aroused the interest of Xiezhi. Not everyone can see through Hu Yun's current transformation.
"Qingqing! It's Qingqing!"
The moment Hu Yun saw the big black carp, he left Xiezhi and rushed over excitedly. Bai Qi on the other side also let the big black carp come over.
"Hahahaha, Qingqing, you can talk now! You can talk now!"
This moment was the happiest moment of Hu Yun today. He jumped over while running and was hit directly on the chest by the big blue carp. He was carried around while holding the fish head.
"I've already said it, I've already said it, hahahahaha... Even if you're a fox, can you come to the bottom of the river for a feast?"
"Yes, Mr. Ji brought me here. You were brought here by Bai Jiangshen, right?"
Bai Qi was wearing a white shirt at the moment, and was walking with an old man with white hair and beard, who looked exactly like the old turtle after its transformation.
"Oh, Little White Dragon and Old Turtle, although they are still a little bit lacking in interest, they are quite interesting."
When Xiezhi said this, Bai Qi and the old turtle had already arrived in front of him. Bai Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiezhi. Although he could see that the other party was not a flesh and blood body, he could not sense any aura and could not tell whether it was a human or a monster.
"Looking at the way you are commenting on me, I really don't know whether you are praising me or mocking me?"
Xiezhi did not reply, but just looked at Bai Qi, looked at the old turtle, and then looked at the big black carp and Hu Yun who were playing together.
"Hu Yun, let's go."
"Ah? But I want to reminisce with the big bluefish!"
"It will be the same if we meet in the main hall during the banquet."
Seeing that the Xiezhi really left, Hu Yun said a few words to the big bluefish with some reluctance, then bowed to Bai Qi and the old turtle, and hurriedly chased after it.
The old turtle frowned as he watched the two people leave.
"Master Jiang Shen, is this man Hu Yun's master? Does Mr. Ji know about this?"
"Don't worry about it. We're going to pay our respects to Lord Long. Mr. Ji will definitely come as well. We'll see him when the banquet starts."
…
On the surface of Tongtian River, at the port of Gyeonggi Prefecture, several carriages escorted by the Imperial Guards were parked outside the port. Servants put down stools and lifted the curtains, and some people got off the carriages in front and behind one after another, causing the Imperial Guards guarding in front and behind to stand at attention subconsciously.
"Is the boat ready?"
"If you want to go back to the national master, I'm ready."
"Um."
Du Changsheng nodded and bowed to someone beside him.
"Prime Minister Yin, Your Highnesses, and others, the boat is ready, let's set off."
"Well, thank you, Master. I'll cast the spell for you."
"It is my duty."
Du Changsheng, together with Yin Zhaoxian, Yin Qing, several senior officials of the court and several princes, boarded the large ship that had been prepared earlier.
"Set sail~~~"
An imperial guard gave the order to set sail with full energy, and the tower ship began to slowly leave its post. Not long after reaching the center of the river, Du Changsheng and several Taoist priests from the Taoist Priest's Office cast a spell together, and it seemed as if a layer of mist rose from the side of the ship, until the ships coming and going on the river could no longer see the big ship.
The big ship was going faster and faster but lower and lower, and finally it slowly sank into the lake.
In front and behind the ship, the Dazhen flags, which had been drooping due to the lack of wind, were carried by the current and fluttered after entering the water. The ship also took measures to avoid water to prevent people from being drowned.
At the moment the tower ship entered the water, some of the imperial guards standing on the side of the ship looked outside the ship, feeling curious and excited. But when they looked under the ship, they were so scared that they could only force themselves to stand upright to avoid making a fool of themselves.
As the ship sailed deeper into the water, countless aquatic creatures could be seen at the bottom of the river below. Some were half human and half fish, some looked like monsters, some were coiled dragons, and some looked like humans but gave people a sense of inhumanity. The eyes of many monsters in the water seemed to be flashing with faint light, and their eyes were all fixed on the large ship sinking from the river.
Most people on the boat were nervous, and the aquatic creatures outside the boat also had expressions of shock. In their eyes, this large ship had no immortal or demonic aura, but it was shining brightly, as if illuminating the waterways ahead and behind.
This was the light of righteousness, which caused many aquatic creatures to retreat, while some followed with puzzled expressions. After all, the origin of the ship was unknown, and passers-by would be able to sense it instantly, and they might have bad intentions.
Yin Qing looked at the countless water creatures and monsters below, then turned to look at a naked master of the Imperial Guards on the second-floor platform of the ship. There was a huge gong and drum in front of him.
"Say your name, and show your identity."
The imperial guards master nodded, gathered his energy and took a deep breath, picked up the red-headed wooden pole beside him, raised it at a large angle and smashed it hard at the gong.
"when-"
"Dazhen Envoy, I have come to congratulate Her Majesty Ying—"
The sound of the gong could be heard from far away in the water, and the shouting was also very loud. The sound of the gong and the shouting did not stop, and they sailed all the way from far to near towards the Dragon Palace.
