Dudgeon widened his eyes, realizing that the two of them were hiding something...
But what could it be?
Dudgeon listened carefully again, but found that they had stopped talking. After a moment, the eavesdropping charm on the wall turned to ash because it had expired.
Although he had obtained some clues, he still felt that the matter was scattered and couldn't be connected.
So he started to guess boldly.
What could Da Yi be hiding?
Could he already possess the body of a fairy but always keep it a secret? But that didn't seem to make sense either. According to Heng'e's words, they had no way to shoot down the suns, but if Da Yi had divine power, wouldn't the legend come true effortlessly?
If so, could the hidden matter be related to shooting the suns?
After thinking for a while, Dudgeon spoke.
"Qianqiu."
"I'm here."
"Can you see Da Yi's past all the time?"
"Da Yi's past?" Dong Qianqiu said, "Do you want me to help you find out what he's hiding?"
"Yes."
"Unfortunately, the Legendary Management Agency's screen only has two display methods. The first is that it can only display the beginning and end of the legend, and things that happened before Yi are not within the scope of the legend. The second is that it can only display the operator's image, which is the image we see now."
"Well, then..." Dudgeon shook his head helplessly. It seems that he can only rely on himself.
So he dug out the script and began to read various versions of the story of Houyi Shooting the Suns.
This is quite a sight.
"So Heng'e is...!"
After watching for a long time, Dudgeon had a clear idea. If he wanted to take the most complete and perfect version, it should be as follows:
One day, ten suns suddenly appeared in the sky. The ten suns burned down the plants and crops, and also gave rise to six monsters, namely, the Yao, the Zhao Chi, the Jiu Ying, the Da Feng, the Feng Xi, and the Xiu She. The people were in dire straits and the land was filled with mourning.
Just then, a hero named Yi appeared, who shot and killed six monsters and shot down nine suns, saving the people from fire and water.
The Queen Mother of the West was delighted and gave Yi the immortal pill, which could make him ascend to heaven after swallowing it. However, Yi's wife, Heng'e, could not endure the poor life and stole the pill and swallowed it, successfully ascending to heaven. The Jade Emperor named this peerless beauty Chang'e and awarded her the Guanghan Palace.
"That's really good, the Legendary Management Bureau," Dudgeon said. "You didn't tell me that there was a gift called Chang'e Flying to the Moon in the story of HouYi Shooting the Nine Suns."
"You're overthinking it," Dong Qianqiu said, "as long as HouYi shoots down nine suns, Chang'e will inevitably flee to the moon. I have seen this legend countless times, without exception. So you don't need to worry too much about Chang'e fleeing to the moon."
"Is that so?" Dudgeon muttered, "but I still feel that this is strange."
"There's nothing strange about it," Dong Qianqiu's tone was cold like a robot, "you only need to be responsible for HouYi shooting down nine suns."
Dudgeon ignored Dong Qianqiu, pondered for a while, got out of bed, walked to the next room, and knocked on the door lightly.
After a while, the door opened, and it was Da Yi.
"Pang Meng, what's the matter?"
"I want to ask you some more questions."
"Come in and say it,"
Dudgeon walked into the room directly, and Heng'e was sewing Da Yi's clothes.
"I don't know if you've heard of these six monsters: the Yao, the Zhao Chi, the Jiu Ying, the Da Feng, the Feng Xi, and the Xiu She?"
The two people looked at each other, and Dudgeon could see that their expressions were not simple.
"Pang Meng, who are you really?"
Da Yi asked with some caution.
"I..."
Dudgeon knew that Da Yi was suspicious of him now, especially since he was indeed suspicious.
After pondering for a while, Dudgeon finally spoke:
"Actually, I lied to you. I am not a mortal. I am a fairy."
As soon as the words fell, the two immediately came with surprised gaze.
”Dudgeon, what are you talking about?“ Dong Qianqiu also interjected in Dudgeon's mind. If you are caught, Dayi will never trust you again!
Dudgeon ignored Dong Qianqiu and took a step forward. "Don't you believe me? Let's do an experiment."
He pointed to Heng'e, who was mending clothes behind Dayi, and said, "You can tattoo a few words on your clothes, and I will know what you are tattooing.
Da Yi turned his head and looked at
Heng’e, and both of them were obviously filled with distrust in their eyes.
“Brother Pang Meng, you...”
"No need to say more, stab!" Dudgeon was determined.
Heng'e nodded helplessly, pondered for a moment, and quickly stitched a few small words on the clothes with a needle and thread. Due to Dayi's blocking in front, Dudgeon could not see anything.
"Dudgeon, what are you doing?" Dong Qianqiu said with a bad temper.
“Brother Pang Meng, I'm done, guess it.” Heng’E put the embroidery behind her and looked at Dudgeon.
Dudgeon stood silently in place, eyes slightly closed, without speaking.
"Brother Pang Meng?" Da Yi also called out.
"Don't worry," Dudgeon said, "I need a spell."
Da Yi silently took a step back and said, "Oh, Brother Pang Meng, please start the spell..."
Dudgeon didn't feel awkward anymore. He clapped his hands, shouted loudly, and then started waving his hands and feet.
Xie Bi'an watched with great interest.
"Hahaha! This guy is so interesting!"
Dong Qianqiu turned around and gave him a fierce look, saying, "Seventh Lord, you're not serious enough. If Dudgeon fails, none of us will exist anymore!"
"Really? I think he has a lot of ideas." Xie Bi'an put his hands around his chest and looked confident.
Black Devils Fang Wujiu snorted next to him and didn't say anything.
The screen showed Dudgeon waving his hands and feet in confusion for a long time, with extremely uncoordinated movements, looking like he had no talent for dance.
"Brother Pang Meng... Don't you have a spell...?"
"Don't interrupt!" Dudgeon shouted loudly, "This is the critical moment!"
Dudgeon turned around three times on the spot, took a deep breath, and shouted the spell:
"Tie! Qianqiu help me Qianqiu help me Qianqiu help me Look quickly look quickly look quickly Help me take a look, quickly as the law decrees!”
The room was silent, and even the entire Legend Management Bureau seemed to freeze.
What the hell?
Heng'e and Da Yi slightly dug their toes into the ground.
They had never seen such a awkward spell in their lives.
"Hahaha!" Xie Bi'an laughed heartily, "See, I said this guy is very interesting."
"So shameless." Dong Qianqiu asked angrily, "Dudgeon, how are you going to finish it if I don't help you?"
As soon as Dudgeon heard this, he turned around three times calmly and shouted loudly:
"Tie!"
Then he muttered: "I'm telling the director, telling the director, telling the director..."
Dong Qianqiu gritted his teeth. The person behind him, Xie Bi'an, was laughing so hard that he couldn't catch his breath.
"You're such an annoying guy." Dong Qianqiu cursed and then rotated the screen to take a closer look. "Heng'e's tattoo is — The moon is coming out." So that's it.
Dudgeon took a deep breath and pressed his hands down, seemingly completing the spell. Then he said slowly to the two people: "If I'm not mistaken, Heng'e's tattoo is — The moon is coming out."
Heng'e looked incredibly shocked and took out the clothes that Da Yi had been wearing from behind her back.
Da Yi also quickly looked and saw that the collar had indeed been tattooed with the four words "The moon is coming out".
"The moon is coming out, when the moon rises, it is bright and beautiful. Heng'e seems to like the moon very much," Dudgeon said in a pretend deep voice.
"Brother Pang Meng, do you even know this?" Dayi was shocked and dismayed. "You really are a celestial being, although your way of performing your power is very strange..."
"Never mind my way of generating power," Dudgeon said. "Now can you tell me about those six demon beasts?"
The two looked at each other and Heng'e said softly, "Brother Pang Meng, are you here to kill the demon beast?"
"About that. Killing monsters is my sideline. I have a main job."
Da Yi shook his head and said, "Brother Pang Meng is truly a celestial being. His words are difficult to understand.”
“Actually, there are not six demon beasts, but only four. The ape-bear was originally a sacred beast raised by the former emperor. After the former emperor died, the ape-bear returned to the weak water. However, the three thousand weak waters could not withstand the hot sun. The ape-bear had no place to live, and could only wander in the world. However, the ape-bear had a human head and a beast body, which made everyone feel ominous. Over time, it was passed down as a demon beast. Countless warriors went to fight it, and it was angered. The snake is a living creature in the water. Now, like the ape-bear, it can only wander around.”
"This..." Dudgeon pondered slightly, "How do you know?"
Da Yi sighed and interjected.
“Brother Pang Meng, to be honest, although I am a mortal, I still care about the world. When six demon beasts emerged, I immediately went to investigate and... killed three of them.”
"Killed three??" Dudgeon was shocked and said, "As a mortal, how could you possibly kill three demon beasts?"
“Although I am a mortal, I grew up in the mountains and I am very good at archery. Both the ZhaoChi beast and FengXi are just wild animals, and they pose no threat to me. In the mulberry forest, I shot and killed the FengXi. In the field of the Hua, I shot and killed the FengXi beast. However, I killed the DaFeng with the help of a friend in the Qingqiu marsh.”
"Friend...?" Too much information, Dudgeon didn't react for a moment.
Da Yi also has a friend with unpredictable strength...
"What about the remaining monsters?"
"The ape-bear has promised me that it will not appear in front of the world for a short period of time, and the snake has also changed its name and hidden itself. Now the only demon beast in the world is the JiuYing."
"Great, that's perfect. Let's go kill the JiuYing monster!" Dudgeon suddenly felt that the task was within reach.
"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Pang Meng." Da Yi interrupted, "The JiuYing monster was born at the beginning of the world. It is a true monster, with a body like a cow and a tail like a dragon, nine heads, able to spit water and fire-breathing. Mortals can't possibly be its match."
"Ugh..." Dudgeon knew that this thing was not easy to deal with. "You...aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?"
"My friend?" Da Yi raised his eyebrows, seemingly remembering something, and then looked at Dudgeon seriously. "Brother Pang Meng, my friend said that if someone asks for him, I should ask if they know the answer to this question: 'What is the meaning of the saying 'resolve their differences'?'"
Dudgeon pondered for a moment and thought that this person was very mysterious, maybe he was the real fairy.
"What does that mean?"
Da Yi looked into Dudgeon's eyes and said seriously, "It means to resolve their differences."
"Resolve their differences?"
What is this? A code?
Da Yi was looking at Dudgeon with high expectations, but Dudgeon couldn't remember it at all.
"Qianqiu, have you heard this saying before? Is there a second half?"
Dudgeon asked in a small voice to Dong Qianqiu, but Dong Qianqiu didn't answer.
Legendary Management Bureau .
Dong Qianqiu stared at the screen with her mouth open wide.
Black and White Devils also stood up slowly.
Black Devils Fan Wujiu slowly recited, "Resolve their differences, Winford."
"Haha..." White Devils Xie Bian chuckled, "He Suǒyǐ, you lied to us."
He Suǒyǐ slowly walked over and smiled, "How did I lie?"
Fan Wujiu pointed to the screen and said, "Your precious disciple, Winford, how did you report it? You told us that Winford had transcended the world and was beyond the Five Elements. We also didn't find his soul during our search, so we recorded it as you said. But he...is still in legend!"
"Really? Winford is still in legend..." Old He Suǒyǐ stroked his beard and asked, "Then could you please explain it to me? Is legend within the world or within the Five Elements?"
Fan Wujiu ground his teeth and stood up. The Legendary Bureau of Management began to shake slightly.
"So you're playing us? If Winford is in legend, how could Dudgeon complete the task? You already knew he was in there, right?"
"Eighth Ancestor , sit down." Xie Bi’an rarely put away his smile and said seriously to Fan Wujiu, "Don't forget that we can sit in our current positions today because of He Suǒyǐ's contributions."
Fan Wujiu slowly sat down, calmed down for a moment, and said to He Suǒyǐ, "I'm sorry about that. It's just...it's just that man..."
"Don't worry about it Wujiu." He Suǒyǐ smiled and said, "Who says that Winford will definitely hinder the mission? He also killed the monster."
Fan Wujiu didn't say anything more. Dong Qianqiu turned around and asked, "Director, what should we do? Should we let Dudgeon find Winford?"
"At present, they can't meet each other." He Suǒyǐ said, "Give Dudgeon a code on the spot."
...
After listening for a while, Dudgeon asked Dong Qianqiu in a small voice, "Is it true? Qianqiu?"
"Don't worry, you can say it confidently."
After listening, Dudgeon felt confident and looked up at Da Yi, sneering and saying, "Your friend is very mischievous. Although this code is unknown to ordinary people, I am a fairy. For fairies, this code is as common as blinking. You can listen carefully.
"Hmm," Da Yi looked at Dudgeon with great expectations.
Dudgeon raised the corners of his mouth and proudly said,
"If you want to resolve their differences, you must first eat a meal."
...
Da Yi wasn't the first person to scratch the ground with his toe.
Why could this person in front of him be so confident in making up nonsense?
"How... is it not right?" Dudgeon saw Da Yi's expression and asked tentatively.
"Brother Pang Meng," Da Yi rubbed his temples and said, "it's a bit different..."
"Ha,Dong Qianqiu!What's going on?" Dudgeon asked in a low voice.
Dong Qianqiu laughed and said, "You played a trick on me earlier, now we're even."
Dudgeon secretly cursed and could only patiently explain to Da Yi.
"We are both fairies, but your friend and I may not be from the same unit. Different units have different codes..."
