Chapter 816 Egg-born

The sun was hanging on the rooftop; it was already noon, and people would unconsciously squint when they looked up at it.

Tan Wenjie went out carrying a string of coins. A new restaurant had recently opened in the city, and the chef's skills were quite good. He had been eating there for several days in a row.

As I passed by a roast chicken shop, the chef, who was chopping chicken with a knife, poked his head out and greeted me.
"Master Tan, Taoist Priest!"

"You...it's you."

Tan Wenjie looked at the other person and remembered that it seemed that some time ago, the person had encountered a fox spirit who came to him to exorcise the demon, but was later persuaded to leave.

"We were really grateful for your help a while ago. We told the local official about our encounter with the fox spirit, and he said that a fox spirit is a great deity, and we should never provoke it. Later, we heard that some people were severely punished for provoking the fox spirit."

In his view, Tan Wenjie helped him escape a disaster, which was a real help to him.

Tan Wenjie nodded: "It's good that you know."

He was simply too lazy to help at the time. Besides, the fox spirit only stole chickens and didn't harm anyone. Either her skills were too low or she didn't have the guts to harm people. If left unattended, she would only lose one chicken. But if he pushed her too far, she would incite a whole bunch of people to suffer.

Furthermore, it is said that mortals should not fight with monsters, regardless of whether they are good or evil. It is best for ordinary people to stay far away from them when they encounter them.

Any monster is more terrifying than a tiger.

Even tigers need to rush up to bite you, and if you're lucky, you might escape. But if you're targeted by a monster, you're not only doomed, you might also suffer mental torture, or even have your soul scattered and never be reincarnated.

Just as Tan Wenjie was about to leave, the chef invited him, "Why don't you come in and try some dishes? We absolutely won't charge you."

"No, no, no."

"Don't be shy."

"I'm not being polite, I'm just picky about food."

chef:"……"

You might as well be more polite.

After waving goodbye and leaving, Tan Wenjie went to a restaurant, where he enjoyed a satisfying meal.

After a few rounds of drinks, Tan Wenjie strolled back leisurely, and when he reached the foot of the city wall, he saw a child sitting on the ground.

He was dressed in yellow clothes, his hair was tied in a child's bun, and his eyes were darting around.

Moreover, the child was radiant with spiritual light, and there was even a crescent moon on his forehead pointing downwards. Clearly, he was a child of extraordinary talent.

However, his expression and reaction were somewhat strange, and he didn't seem like a child at all.

He plopped down on the ground and wouldn't get up. Some bystanders wanted to ask him something, but he wouldn't answer. He crossed his arms, looked to his left, and then to his right.

It looked like they were looking for someone.

The group of people could only watch from the sidelines, there was nothing they could do.

Upon seeing Tan Wenjie, Xian Tong's eyes lit up. He braced himself on the ground with both hands, stuck out his bottom, and stood up, then quickly walked towards him.

"Are you a deity?" the fairy boy asked in a childish voice, looking up at the sky.

"Yes." Tan Wenjie nodded, not hiding anything.

Passerby: "..."

You two are really something – one dares to ask, and the other dares to answer.

Of course, some people think that Tan Wenjie's words are not entirely false, but just a little exaggerated. They have seen Tan Wenjie use those minor techniques, and he may not be a god, but he must have real skills.

"Great! Do you know Egg?"

"do not know."

"He was born from a chicken egg, and I was born from a swan egg. My name is Egg-Born."

Egg-born?

If Tan Wenjie remembers correctly, there is a character named Egg-Born in "The Legend of the Heavenly Book". Originally a swan egg, it was placed into the alchemy furnace by Yuan Gong, who was guarding the Heavenly Book on the stone wall, and hatched into a fairy child.

Later, he learned the 108 spells in the Heavenly Book "Ruyi Treasure Book" and fought against three fox demons who had also learned the Heavenly Book.

According to Dansheng, Tan Wenjie guessed that Yuan Gong not only took Dansheng away, but also took the egg from the power-generating chicken that he had left in the woodcutter's chicken coop.

Both eggs were thrown into the alchemy furnace.

However, the fox spirit still managed to steal the eggs, leaving the rest inside the oven.

Tan Wenjie sensed the egg hatching back then, so it seems the other party has completely stayed by Yuan Gong's side.

He also wanted to meet with Master Yuan. The method of refining an egg into a celestial child was much more powerful than directly transforming it into a celestial child. After all, those spirit beasts and plants, once transformed into celestial children, had mediocre aptitude and found it difficult to improve further.

Looking at Egg-born again, he was able to learn the magic from the Heavenly Book. Although he did not fight against gods like the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess in the original work and was unlikely to win, he was still far superior to most gods.

It far surpasses the power-generating chickens that Tan Wenjie raised from scratch.

This method is destined for me.

Tan Wenjie sighed and nodded, saying, "I left him at the woodcutter's house to protect the family, but it seems things have gone wrong."

“Mmm.” Eggman nodded repeatedly. “When we were all eggs, Egg said he always wanted to find you.”

Why wasn't he with you?

"I was stolen from my home and then crawled out of an egg," Egg-born said. "Now I want to go home. Can you take me back?"

So that "egg" is still in the fairy mountain.

"can."

The passersby just listened in silence as the two of them talked more and more outrageously. One claimed to be a god, and the other even said that he was born from a swan's egg and that there was a little egg boy inside.

Tan Wenjie grabbed Dansheng's arm and took a step forward.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the people standing by the roadside felt sand in their eyes. They subconsciously raised their hands to rub them, and when they opened their eyes again, Tan Wenjie and Dansheng had already disappeared from sight.

The passerby thought it was just a coincidence that he didn't see the two people clearly when they left.

It couldn't have flown away, could it?

……

"It flew up?"

Egg-born followed Tan Wenjie as they rode on the clouds.

The scenery beneath our feet changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, we had flown nearly a hundred miles.

Suddenly Tan Wenjie stopped and looked up at the sky. Above the clouds, a pair of eyes met his gaze. In that instant, Tan Wenjie caught the panic in the other person's eyes.

Thinking to himself, "There's definitely something wrong with the weather," Tan Wenjie said, slightly out of breath, "It looks like a strong wind is about to blow up ahead. My magic power is insufficient, and I'm afraid I can't carry you that far. You'll have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

Dansheng nodded, patted his little chest, and assured him, "Don't worry, I will definitely tell Danzi where you are so he can come find you."

The two descended from the clouds.

Dan Sheng waved his hand and set off on his way home again.

After Dan Sheng's figure completely disappeared from Tan Wenjie's sight, his body suddenly changed, transforming into a three-headed, eight-armed being. One mouth spewed thunder, and the other breathed wind. His body shot towards the clouds like an arrow released from a bow.

The figure was still hesitating whether Tan Wenjie had really discovered him and was considering whether to fly back to the Heavenly Court to report when a sharp sword suddenly rushed towards him, so fast that he didn't even have time to blink.

When he came to his senses, he found himself being choked by a three-headed, eight-armed deity.

Before this, Tan Wenjie had kept a low profile, not wanting the gods in heaven to notice him. After all, he came carrying the Seed of the Abyss, making him, in a sense, a villain with a crooked lineage, and an absolute opponent of the Heavenly Court, which represented the justice of heaven.

Tan Wenjie asked, "What kind of deity are you in heaven?"

"Uh……"

"Okay, you're tough enough!"

“(⊙o⊙)” The deity pointed to his neck, which was being choked, indicating that he could not speak.

Upon seeing this, Tan Wenjie released his grip.

The instant he let go, the deity immediately screamed at the top of his lungs, "Help!"

But after shouting for a while until his voice was hoarse, he found that the three-headed, eight-armed god general in front of him did not make a move, but instead stood with his arms crossed, smiling at him.

Finally realizing the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, the deity shut his mouth and obediently lowered his head, saying, "This humble deity is merely a celestial official. I usually visit cultivators and, if I see someone with an affinity for immortality, I recommend them to Heaven."

In reality, his heart was pounding wildly. He cursed his bad luck, thinking that being caught was bad enough, but his attempt to be clever had failed. Now, he was at the mercy of the other party, whether he was round or flat.

Tan Wenjie asked, "Then why are you targeting me?"

"Because you possess a destiny to become an immortal, I wanted to guide you to heaven, which would be a merit in itself. I just didn't expect... I just didn't expect your magical power to be so great."

This is more than just high strength; it's completely unexpected. There aren't many in the Heavenly Court who can reach this level. I didn't even have time to react before I was captured.

"Me? A destiny with immortality?"

It wouldn't be a lie to say that I have a connection to the immortals, after all, I am the grand-disciple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the common disciple of the Antarctic Immortal, a friend of Buddha and Bodhisattva, the future brother-in-law of Erlang Shen, and the Great Emperor of Fengdu...

He is probably the person in this world with the greatest affinity for immortality.

But ironically, in this world, he is the least likely to have a chance to become an immortal, because he entered through the "Seed of the Abyss" and has already been judged to be on the side of the Abyss.

unless……

Tan Wenjie looked up at the sky.

"This, that..." The celestial official hesitated, unsure of how to begin.

"Speak your mind."

"Your magical powers are great, and you have a destiny to become immortal. Why not follow me to heaven and find a good job? From now on, you can enjoy incense offerings."

"Yes, what you said is indeed a good method."

Tan Wenjie casually tossed the other party into the "Gold and Silver Mountain Map". This map might not be able to trap those with high magical power, and even those who know how to fly and escape could escape.

But the picture shows more than just mountains of gold and silver.

The shadow split off from Tan Wenjie's feet, transforming into a clone of the Demon Lord.

The fire mark between his eyebrows flickered, and his body transformed into the little celestial official he had just seen.

"Go back to heaven first. Investigate the situation, fill out the forms, and then guide me to heaven after I have succeeded."

"it is good."

The Demon Lord's clone flew rapidly into the sky.

In terms of acting, they are all like Tam Man-kit, both of whom are award-winning actors. Unless they deliberately show off, no one can tell that he is actually a god. After all, as a deity, his position is too low, and he can't possibly meet any important figures.

Tan Wenjie's only worry was that his Demon Lord clone was too outstanding. Gold always shines, and it would be difficult to hide his brilliance.

After turning his gaze away, Tan Wenjie transformed into a swallow and flew towards his home.

Since the heavens are monitoring the human world so closely, I should be careful.

The world depicted in the image.

The celestial official plopped down on the ground.

"Ouch!"

He looked up and saw a sky full of blue, then turned to look around and saw an ocean as blue as the sky.

Turning around to look at his surroundings, he found himself at the foot of a mountain made entirely of silver.

"hiss--"

Even if he were a god, he had never seen such supernatural powers. He had heard of moving mountains and filling seas, but no one had ever moved a silver mountain.

And where have I lost myself? Why can't I sense the world?
Suddenly, I heard a rooster crowing, accompanied by bursts of thunder.

The water in front of us gurgled and rolled, and a huge red dragon's head emerged from the water. A large amount of water was forced to split to both sides by its dragon horns, forming a water curtain on both sides of the dragon's head.

The scalding seawater splashed onto the little fairy official, making him scream in pain.

"Who are you people?"

"Brother Chicken, Brother Sheep, since the Master threw them in, they should be edible, right?" Red Dragon's eyes shone brightly.

What it hates most and wants to eat most are these little celestial officials.

"Spare me, spare me... Ah—!!"

……

Tianling Temple.

A swallow spread its wings and flew over, landing on the windowsill.

Ever since he learned that the fairy child was born from an egg, Tan Wenjie had been pondering the origins of the fox spirit that had recently caused widespread panic. After much thought, he figured it was probably the three foxes who had stolen the elixir of immortality and learned the Heavenly Calligraphy.

However, since Egg-born has not yet obtained the Heavenly Book, the three foxes naturally have no chance to steal it.

There's no rush.

Tan Wenjie was also looking to learn the Ruyi Treasure Book, which supposedly recorded 108 magical arts, to see how it compared to his own 72 Transformations.

He didn't have high expectations for the Ruyi Treasure Book, after all, the representative figures of the Seventy-Two Transformations were Yang Jian and Sun Wukong, while the representative figures of the Ruyi Treasure Book were Dan Sheng and Yuan Gong.

The former could wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace and disregard the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, while the latter was easily intimidated and captured by the Thunder God and the Lightning Goddess.

Perhaps he had come at the wrong time, for Tan Wenjie did not see the fox spirit in Tianling Temple.

The entire temple was empty except for a drowned young monk at the bottom of the well.

He casually scooped the little monk out and then pulled out the three souls and seven spirits that had sunk in the well.

The little monk, whose lifespan had not yet ended, was gently patted twice, causing him to vomit the water in his stomach. After his three souls and seven spirits were placed back into his body, he blinked and came back to life.

"me……"

The young monk, who had suddenly been resurrected, dared not linger. He kowtowed several times in the direction of the main hall to thank Buddha for saving his life, and then ran away.

Only the swallows on the windowsill silently watched all of this.

After leaving Tianling Temple, Tan Wenjie changed back into his green-robed Taoist attire and slowly descended the mountain with a whisk in his hand.

After walking a short distance from the foot of the mountain, you'll reach a small village.

Then I saw a group of people gathered in front of me.

"Such a strong, seductive vixen scent." (End of Chapter)
