Chapter 76 Xuanyuan Bestows Treasures
Xuanyuan Temple.
Located in the eastern part of Shandong province.
It was a temple built for the legendary ancestor of Chinese civilization, the Yellow Emperor.
Yang Jiao stood outside the temple, where two huge peach and willow trees stood tall and had long, dense root systems.
This is not the ancestral temple, but a branch entrance on Qipan Mountain, and its incense offerings are not very popular.
Yang Jiao slowly walked in and saw that there was already dust in the main hall. As a descendant of the Chinese nation, she naturally rolled up her sleeves and began to wipe it clean.
After wiping a clay sculpture, Yang Jiao asked the system:
"Why did you get a token for wiping the statue of Nuwa? I'm wiping the statue of the Yellow Emperor right now, why aren't you getting a token?"
[Host, this task is not available.]
"If you don't refresh, then refresh again."
[Ding, system refresh in progress...]
Upon hearing the "ding," Yang Jiao knew that everything was settled!
[Ding, system refresh complete, no new tasks detected.]
[Friendly reminder: The host still owes the system one task to complete.]
Ah, damn it...
This system is becoming increasingly unmanageable.
Although there was no token reward, Yang Jiao still polished the statue until it shone, and then took nine sticks of incense from the shrine.
Yang Jiao would always offer three sticks of incense at other times, representing respect for the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
But this man is the ancestor of the Chinese nation, and deserves to be honored with nine branches.
A reverence for the unity of all things.
Yang Jiao lit incense, knelt in devout worship, placed the end of the incense stick on her forehead, and as the smoke rose, she spoke:
"Yang Jiao, a later generation, was fortunate to receive praise from the Yellow Emperor and came to Xuanyuan Temple to offer incense to you to express his gratitude."
Having said that, he placed the nine incense sticks into the incense burner.
The wisps of smoke rose into the air and reached the statue of the deity.
Suddenly,
A flash of light appeared on the statue, and three wheels instantly appeared in the main hall.
Yang Jiao remained kneeling, turned around and stared blankly at the three large wheels, then asked in a daze:
"You mean, this is for me?"
Yes, Yang Jiao acknowledged that when you unified the Chinese nation, you invented things like houses, clothing, vehicles, and boats.
So, you mean, give me one of those little gadgets you invented back then so I can play with it?
Remembering the two Wind and Fire Wheels given to Nezha by Taiyi Zhenren, Yang Jiao became arrogant.
With arms crossed over his chest, he thought to himself:
"My wheels are bigger! I even have one more than Nezha's!"
"But... with three wheels, how do you pedal?"
Yang Jiao climbed up to the wheel and examined it several times, but all she could think was that it was just a wooden wheel.
It seems like it doesn't have Nezha's fire wheels... That's high-class...
But since it was a gift from the Yellow Emperor, I dared not refuse.
Yang Jiao was getting anxious because they gave her the things but didn't say anything.
Even more anxious than her was the one inside the Fire Cloud Cave. Unable to get out and unable to convey his message, he was so anxious that he was about to take a step forward.
He was immediately stopped by two other people.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
"Going outside could easily lead to annihilation!"
These three are Fuxi, Shennong, and the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. They have already merged into the destiny of the human race. They achieved enlightenment through a different way by relying on the destiny of the human race. They are now inextricably linked with the destiny of the human race, sharing both prosperity and adversity.
Once born, not only will the fate of the human race be unstable, but there is also the danger of being wiped out.
Yang Jiao circled around the three large wheels, and the more she looked at them, the more incomplete they seemed.
"Could it be... that the Yellow Emperor meant to give me a wheel so I can build my own vehicle?"
Recalling the pictures of the Yellow Emperor building a chariot that she had seen in the documents, Yang Jiao felt that she couldn't sit on it; her buttocks would be shaken to pieces.
Back then, the vehicles had one wheel on each side and a plank in the middle.
Just sit down, and don't make a sound.
A thought suddenly occurred to her: perhaps...
Let's build a bicycle!
The wheels of this bicycle faintly carry the power of the Yellow Emperor's merits. Wouldn't they be able to become flying bicycles, capable of traveling hundreds of kilometers with a single pedal stroke?
Nine Heavens Thunder Kick with Both Feet?
With that in mind, Yang Jiao picked up a wheel and prepared to get to work.
And there was one left again.
"Hey! Why not just make a tricycle?"
At this moment, a rough idea had already formed in her mind.
He pedaled the tricycle with a large cargo bed towards the East China Sea, shouting:
"Old Dragon King, I'm here!"
It's just a matter of making a few more trips, and he'll have to empty out most of his East Sea Dragon Palace.
Hehehe...
The thought of this scene made Yang Jiao feel wonderful, and she immediately got to work.
He pulled out one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Blades from his pocket, enlarged it, slung it over his shoulder, and strode out in a whirlwind.
Before she arrived, she had seen two enormous trees growing by the entrance, perfect for using as truck beds.
Yang Jiao ran out, and just as she was about to chop at the base of the willow tree, she heard a sound:
"Ouch!"
Immediately, the willow tree, emitting smoke, transformed into a long, thin human figure, completely unconcerned about the knife wound it had just sustained on its leg.
He rubbed his hands together, a fawning smile on his face, and approached respectfully, saying:
"Little immortal, where did you come from? I just heard you say that the Yellow Emperor praised you personally, so I came to offer incense. What a great blessing!"
Ok?
Yang Jiao immediately realized something was wrong.
When I offer incense, I speak in hushed tones, not loudly. How did the willow tree spirit know that?
Before she could figure out why, she saw the peach tree next to her also start to smoke, and it instantly transformed into a slightly chubby, short person.
He bowed and scraped respectfully, saying:
“I saw it too. I saw that after you lit nine sticks of incense, Grandpa Yellow Emperor immediately appeared and conjured something.”
Yang Jiao listened, and something seemed even more wrong!
She was all alone in the Xuanyuan Temple, so how did the peach tree spirit see her?
Logically speaking, I should be able to hear and see clearly now.
It's impossible for someone to be eavesdropping and watching outside the palace without being noticed.
Before Yang Jiao could react, the willow ghost peach spirit smiled ingratiatingly and explained the reason:
“Little Immortal, my brother and I have been gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon in front of the Xuanyuan Temple for thousands of years, and have finally transformed into human form, but we have not found the way to become immortals.”
The two demons bowed and pleaded:
"We hope that the little immortal will accept us as his disciples so that we can become immortals as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jiao realized that she knew nothing and was already racking her brains trying to find some cultivation techniques for the Spider Demon and the White Bone Demon. How could she dare to accept this person of unknown origin?
He immediately waved his hand and said:
"No, no, no, I'm just a little kid, I don't know anything, you overestimate me."
The peach spirit didn't believe it; he could see it clearly.
He has been in this place for thousands of years, and there are many pilgrims coming and going, but he has never once caused the Yellow Emperor to appear.
When this little girl arrived, not only did the Yellow Emperor appear to her, but he also gave her gifts, so she must be someone of great importance.
He immediately knelt down with a mournful face and begged:
“Little Immortal, there’s no need to hide your identity anymore. We can see clearly that you have extraordinary abilities to make the Yellow Emperor appear. You are our master!”
After hearing this...
Yang Jiao cried even more pitifully than they did.
He also began to wail:
"I'm also looking for a renowned teacher, but nobody wants me!"
Seeing how much those two demons wanted to become immortals but couldn't find the way, and how she herself longed to become a disciple but no one wanted to take her in, she felt a pang of envy.
They immediately felt a sense of shared misfortune, and he grabbed their necks and started wailing:
"We are both fellow sufferers in this world!"
"I've ended up like this because I'm too incompetent!"
