The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 544: That Firebird will destroy the world immediately...right?!
The sky is vast and the water is blue.

Above his head, the green water waves gathered into a dome, and the water below rolled, carrying Yun Kun forward quickly. One breath, one breath, one breath, one breath...

It seemed like a few days, months, or years had passed, or just like a few dozen breaths had passed, before the boat gently stopped and fell into a vast and deep lake.

The deep blue water rippled slightly. Although Yun Kun did not fill the sails or stretch out a wooden oar to row hard, he still floated gently along the water and soon reached the shore.

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you, distinguished guest." The moment the boat stopped, a layer of light mist slowly rose on the shore.

The mist flowed and converged. The young man in blue stood upright on the embankment and bowed:
"Please follow me, my dear guest—"

"Thank you Qingli for your care." Shen Le rolled up a gust of wind, which lifted him up and landed beside him. He tried stiffly to imitate the other person's salute.

Alas, the posture of bowing is not right. When I lean forward slightly, is it because my back is not straight, or my shoulders are not stretched enough, or my whole body is crooked?
In short, the movements that others see as straight and smooth, very pleasing to the eye, always seem awkward when I do them myself:
I was wearing Hanfu and taking photos in a scenic spot. I wanted to bow or something, but the photos turned out to be horrible.

As expected, those actors who shoot costume dramas need to take body shape and etiquette classes before they can appear on camera, right?

"Dear guest, there is no need to be restrained. Just do as you please." Seeing that he was awkward, Qing Li also smiled and waved his hand casually.

A green light flashed, and his light green straight skirt instantly turned into a white shirt, khaki trousers, and beige sneakers, giving him a clean and refreshing look like a campus college student.

He turned halfway and stretched out his hand to lead inward:
"please--"

This, is this for me to go over?

You have conjured up this outfit, so why don’t you get two bicycles from somewhere?
Shen Le was a little dazed. Fortunately, he still remembered the etiquette of being a guest, and quickly said:

"It's like this, I brought some souvenirs with me this time..."

As he said this, he looked at Yun Kun. Yun Kun had already started trying to spit out the gifts, but no matter how hard he rolled up the sails and moved the planks, he couldn't spit out even a single spiritual fruit or a single fresh fish.

Qing Li looked back, smiled slightly, raised his hand and pressed lightly:

"The Water Palace is lonely. Your Majesty is already very happy that you came to visit? Why do you need to bring anything?"

With just a light press, the waves around Yun Kun froze, and the sails, planks, and rudders were all quiet and unable to move.

Shen Le was secretly frightened just by looking at it:

This young man in blue is really very powerful!

Is he a dragon that has cultivated for thousands of years, or is he trusted by the Dragon King and able to use the Water Palace Center?
The former is strong, the latter is powerful, anyway, neither should be underestimated. Fortunately, I have never treated him as a servant of the Water Palace, and have always been respectful...

"It's not good to come empty-handed." He thought about it and smiled softly:
"Besides, I came here this time because I want to ask you something. It's like this, Yun Kun has some problems——"

He didn't say whether he wanted to ask Long Jun or someone else, and he didn't dare to disturb Long Jun. He meant that if Qing Li could solve the problem, he should ask him to do it.

Qing Li smiled slightly and waved to Yun Kun:

"Is that right?"

With this wave of his hand, the restraints on Yun Kun were suddenly loosened, the deck was lifted up, and the gangplank was placed on the shore.

Pairs of paper figures came down one after another, holding large plates of spiritual fruits and carrying baskets of spiritual herbs, spiritual fish, spiritual shells, etc.

In a moment, waves surged at the lakeside, and groups of shrimps and crabs stepped out of the water, took the gifts from the paper man, and sank into the water again, disappearing.

Qing Li stood aside with a smile, watching the two sides hand over the gifts. When the last gift was handed over, the paper figures returned to the cabin, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals sank into the water, then they waved to Yun Kun:
"Come--"

Yun Kun flew up at his command, from thirty meters long, to three meters, to three feet, and then to one foot. He held it in his hand, obedient and quiet.

Qingli led him through twists and turns, towards the depths of the Dragon Palace. The waves were rolling under their feet, and the starlight was fragmented. It seemed as if he was walking in the waves, or as if he was walking in the clouds.

Shen Le couldn't tell whether he was walking himself or the road under his feet was carrying him forward. He only knew that after walking about a hundred steps, his eyes brightened slightly, and it was the same colorful garden as before.

Long Jun was squatting in the flowers with his back to them, not knowing what he was doing. When Qing Li raised his voice to report, he suddenly stood up:

"Hey, here you are. Little Yunkun is here too? Come over here and let me see you?"

Qing Li held the small wooden boat in both hands and respectfully placed it on the stone table in the center of the courtyard. He turned around and took out a porcelain basin filled with mist from somewhere.

As soon as Yun Kun was placed in the porcelain basin, the mist immediately turned into a pool of clear water. Yun Kun swayed in it, looking very happy.

Shen Le took a quick glance and felt that the porcelain basin was only about one foot in diameter. When he looked more closely, it seemed that the diameter had expanded to more than three feet.

He used his eyes to look carefully, and found that the porcelain basin was actually a small lake. Yun Kun unfolded his original body and swayed around in it, and he didn't feel cramped at all...

He pinched himself and forced himself not to ask, but looked at Long Jun respectfully, waiting for his guidance.

As for the maids bringing spiritual tea and spiritual fruit and placing them in front of him, waiting for him to enjoy them, Shen Le was no longer in the mood for that and didn't even bother to look at them.

Long Jun was not being vain in his courtesy. He leaned forward slightly, staring at the small wooden boat on the porcelain plate. After a moment, he smiled slightly and stroked it with his hand:
"You've got a good thing!—Why, you can't swallow it?"

[It’s so hot! It’s so hot! It’s so hot! ]

Yun Kun swam back and forth in the porcelain basin, sometimes spreading out its sails and sometimes folding them up tightly.

In a moment, its decks were opened layer by layer, and a huge stone ball was supported by several wooden boards and presented to everyone:

[This thing is so hot! ——Shen Le wants me to use it as a motor, but I’m afraid that the Firebird will recognize me and chase me and beat me…]

Long Jun smiled. He looked at Shen Le and smiled approvingly:
"You've taken good care of it. When the little guy first left me, he wasn't that strong. I was even able to snatch his inner elixir."

"No, no, this is Yun Kun's own hard work." Shen Le quickly declined:
"He killed two big black fish from the foreign country, and exchanged all the credit for the spirit wood. He worked hard to devour it and got to where he is today. - Speaking of which, do you know what this is?"

"Ah……"

Long Jun gently stroked the edge of the porcelain basin, his eyes far away, as if he was lost in memories. After a long while, he slowly said:
"You guys ran quite far this time. - Or did that guy actually manage to break free from the seal and invade our territory?"

"No, we encountered it in the Red Sea." Shen Le explained quickly.

He described in detail how Yun Kun carried out the mission, was attacked in the Red Sea, turned around and ran away, returned to his own barrier, snatched the inner elixir and ran away, and tried his best to suppress it.

Long Jun listened with great interest, and couldn't help but smile at the end:
"That's pretty good. That guy is very high-ranking and quite strong.

Even if it wasn't him but his descendants that came out, Yun Kun being able to swallow his inner elixir would be a rare opportunity and would be very beneficial to his growth."

"Do you know what this is?"

Shen Le couldn't help asking. Not to mention that this Dragon King is from Poyang Lake... maybe Poyang Lake? Even if he is the Dragon King of the Four Seas, it is still a bit far from the Indian Ocean.

What’s more, the Red Sea at the end of the Indian Ocean is eight feet away, and there is no telling how many alien gods and demons there are on the road.

Or was it possible that he was also a travel expert who had been to all five continents and four oceans?

"Of course I know it. I even had a fight with it." Long Jun's voice was slow and his eyes were far away, as if he was lost in memories:

"It's an ancient mythical bird over there, living in the crater of a volcano. Its body is as huge as a mountain range. When it flies, it covers half of the sky...

Its body is like a storm, its feathers are like magma, its cry can stir up a sandstorm, and its fire can burn down a city..."

Shen Le tried to imagine what such a huge divine bird would look like flying, but unfortunately he couldn't figure it out.

A mountain range is flying in the sky... If it falls down, it won't just be an earthquake. The entire continent, at least the Arabian Peninsula will collapse, and the Red Sea will be filled up directly, right?
We can only hope that it falls from a lower altitude. If it falls from the stratosphere, it will probably cause mass extinction.

A global super earthquake will definitely cause a violent eruption of the Pacific Ring of Fire, with dust blocking the sun and photosynthesis interrupted...

All in all, it's probably just the Jurassic extinction all over again, and it's probably an enhanced version.

As for whether humans can withstand it, Shen Le thought to himself that they definitely can't withstand it. Even if all the nuclear warheads in the world were fired at the same time, it would be a joke in front of a falling mountain.

Probably, we can only rely on the three people who have joined the "Planetary Defense Post", shouting "friendship" and "bond" and so on, and rush forward to hold on, right?
Perhaps his expression was too ugly, Long Jun only looked at him once and smiled softly. He smiled and waved his hand, and pushed a small plate of spiritual fruits in front of him, probably to calm him down:
"Don't worry, don't worry. The ancient mythical bird won't suddenly appear. The current environment is too harsh for it. It simply can't stand it.

What Yun Kun encountered should be its offspring from several generations ago, and it may only have a thin bloodline. Well, Yun Kun, the big bird you saw at that time was about the same size as you, right?"

[Right! Right! ]

Yun Kun nodded desperately. Strictly speaking, it was rolling the water in the porcelain basin vigorously, and the bow of the boat went up and down in the waves.

Shen Le didn't know how a ship could think of this action as a "nod". Can't you just bend the mast slightly?

"A firebird as big as Yun Kun is, at most, a fifth or sixth generation descendant of the ancient divine bird, and its bloodline cannot be closer." The Dragon Lord concluded confidently, "Yun Kun suffered a loss because he was in the water and had no means of attack.

If you just want to solve the problem, go back and increase the fire resistance a bit, equip more weapons, and you won't have to be afraid of it."

Shen Le immediately looked at him with new eyes. Lord Long, you are so down-to-earth!

How come you use this purely gaming term "higher fire resistance" so skillfully?
Do you play games every day? No, how much time do you spend in the Dragon Palace breathing in spiritual energy and regulating the water veins, and how much time do you spend strolling on the shore?

Of course he couldn't complain. He could only ask the question carefully:
“Increasing fire resistance is not difficult. I will ask Yun Kun to absorb more spiritual wood, and then carve some fire-resistant talismans and formations on him. That should be enough.

The problem is weapons... Let alone the question of whether weapons can defeat it, the Red Sea area is not a place where weapons can be used casually!"

A missile flew out from there, a rocket flew out, a drone flew out...

You are the center of everyone's attention. The satellites in the sky, the various ships in the sea, and the detectors on land are all staring at you.

If the Yunkun, a wooden submarine, is discovered, will it survive?

You can't just run towards the aircraft carrier as soon as something happens, hoping that the Firebird will crash into it, and then go home to watch the news report "A merchant ship carrying 3 tons of fertilizer hits an aircraft carrier", right?

"Well... that's a problem." Long Jun nodded in understanding. He tapped a few points on the table with his slender fingers and suddenly turned back:
"Qingli, bring me my water-gathering flag."

Qing Li left in response. He returned moments later, holding a half-foot-long triangular flag in his hands. A black cloud gathered on the flag, and a cloud dragon's claws could be seen faintly in the middle.

Long Jun weighed the flag in his hand and showed it to Shen Le:

"One way is to put this flag on the bow of Yun Kun. The flag has my aura on it. If the little guy on the other side knows anything, he won't attack Yun Kun.

Then, you guys talk to it, return the inner elixir to it, or arrange a fight, anyway, find a way to solve the problem?"

Shen Le tried to catch it with both hands. The wooden flagpole, which looked like a flag made of animal skin, was small. He held it with both hands, and his arms immediately sank down.

Shen Le quickly used all his strength to transfer the heat to his hands, and with the help of the copper sheet vibrating in time, he was able to hold up the flag and avoid making a fool of himself on the spot.

He gritted his teeth, placed the flag flat on the table, lowered his hands, and shook them twice secretly to relieve the pain in his fingers:

It seems to be a very powerful magic weapon. It can gather water, gather water, gather a lot of water elements, and restrain the opponent's fire. But...what if the opponent is ignorant?
You also said that it is the fifth or sixth generation grandson of the divine bird. What if the inheritance it received is limited and it cannot recognize the breath of the Dragon King? Are we really going to fight it?

"There is actually another way." Long Jun saw Shen Le's embarrassed expression, but he didn't think he was meddling, so he said leisurely:
“I will take out this inner elixir and seal it, and then cleanse the aura on Yun Kun to ensure that there is no residue.

This way, if Yun Kun takes this road again, he won’t be discovered and chased by it because of the inner elixir.”

This is good!
This is good!
Shen Le nodded repeatedly. Even Yun Kun opened three sails:

[That's it! I'll give you this inner elixir as a reward for your help! ]

"What do I want this reward for?"

Long Jun couldn't help but laugh. He grabbed the stone ball and the inner elixir inside it.

Silently, the stone ball cracked, and the golden-red, irregularly shaped sphere that was spewing endless heat was covered with spots of light and soon solidified into a small gray ball.

Dragon King threw the ball back to Shen Le, and pointed at Yun Kun. A mist suddenly rose from the porcelain basin, circled around Yun Kun, and then disappeared quietly.

Long Jun clapped his hands lazily:

"Okay, take it. With this, the little firebird can't hurt you."

Shen Le held the ball, squeezed it, and rubbed it. The Dragon King's seal was very... strong. Even if he held it with his bare hands, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of heat.

This seal is worth studying carefully, whether it is for sealing other things in the future, or for opening the seal and taking out the inner elixir...

"By the way, are there also sky-earth barriers abroad?"

He remembered the other purpose of his visit and asked carefully. Long Jun glanced at him:
"Why? Do you think we are the only ones who have the Jedi Tiantong?"

Shen Le bowed his head and said nothing. Long Jun let out a long breath and said leisurely:
"Humans, humans...If humans want to live a good life, they must separate themselves from the gods and demons, and they must take control of the power on earth...

Whether it is through religion or something else, in short, every civilization that can develop, in the end, takes this path..."

He shook his head helplessly and fell silent, as if he was recalling something or sighing about something. After a while, he told Shen Le:
“If you go to these places where civilization has been interrupted, you must be more careful.

What our ancestors did is completely unknown to future generations. No one commemorates them, no one maintains them, and there is no power to continue to provide them…”

So, these barriers between heaven and earth are based on human civilization, rather than on a certain continent, an ocean, or a country?

Shen Le thought about the current state of ancient Egyptian civilization, ancient Babylonian civilization, and even ancient Indian civilization, and couldn't help but shudder.

Civilization was interrupted, writing was lost, and even the people living on this land are no longer of the same bloodline as before.

The barrier between heaven and earth that they left behind would be shattered into pieces, and how many demons and monsters would run out?
All he could say was that the last time he went to Paris, that large area of town had basically maintained its continuity from ancient Greece to ancient Rome, to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

If you go to other places, you really have to be more careful!
He carefully put the ball in his pocket, still thinking in his heart whether to let Yun Kun install the nuclear reactor directly, or install the inner elixir on it as a spare.

Before I could think it through, Long Jun calmly threw another sentence at me:
"By the way, if you want to use this inner elixir, you have to be careful, there is a lot of resentment in it."

"resentment?"

Shen Le sat up straight. Many people in the Special Affairs Bureau expressed envy for this ball, or this inner pill:
Some people want to use it as a furnace for alchemy, some want to use it as the centerpiece of a large formation, or simply want to make it the core of some spiritual weapon.

As long as Shen Le is willing to sell, the price is negotiable! Magical weapons, flying swords, elixirs, magic talismans, and various kinds of skills, as long as they are not the secrets of our sect, you can choose whatever you want!
But, according to Long Jun, there is a lot of resentment here? If he sells this thing, wouldn't that be cheating people?
"Can you please tell me what kind of resentment that is?" Shen Le suddenly became serious. Was it caused by the inner elixir being stolen and leaving its owner?
Or is it because the master has been killed, chopped, or tortured, and the resentment remains?

still is……

"It's not what you think." Long Jun shook his head gently. He was silent for a long time, his eyes were deep, and he sighed slightly:
"Ancient mythical birds... they were born and raised by nature. They also embody all the imagination, admiration, and fear of the ancient people at that time..."

The East was mainly engaged in farming, and the ancients expected good weather and good harvests, so the Dragon King, who could control the clouds and rain, was the object of their worship.
And that divine bird was born on the shores of the Red Sea, it was born in the desert, so fire and dust are the source of its power.

Those imaginations, those offerings, those reverence and fear are not the basis of their power.

However, on a certain level, it is one of their anchors in the human world, the foundation for them to fully exert their power in the human world without being bound by the human world.

however……

No more, nothing left...

The civilization of the East has been passed down. Even so, Bifang, Bai Ze, Fei Yi, Ming Snake...

All the ancient monsters have disappeared into the dust, and with the opening of the sky and the fall of the barrier between heaven and earth, they have faded from people's memory;

On that remote peninsula, dynasties were established and destroyed one after another, and the monotheism that was later established cleansed all the myths and legends.

People can hardly remember the existence they once worshipped. Only a few fragments and fragments retain a tiny trace of memory...

"why?"

"Why... did you forget me..."

"Why...you...don't care about me anymore..."

Holding the inner elixir and feeling the slight vibrations within it, Dragon King could sense the resentment within it without having to put much thought into it.

How much love there was in the past, how much resentment there is now; after the former anchor point disappears, there is no longer that kind of spiritual power that can form its support and restraint in the world.

"Try not to go there recently." Long Jun bent his fingertips, tapped the edge of the porcelain basin, and gently reminded Yun Kun:

"Be patient and wait for a year or two to see what happens over there. The firebird will not give up after losing its inner elixir. It will definitely cause trouble. It just depends on who bumps into it first."

Yun Kun repeatedly nodded the bow in the porcelain basin. Shen Le could not help but frown:

There is a commotion in the Red Sea... Although our country does not have an aircraft carrier fleet there, we also have warships carrying out escort missions!

Not to mention, there are so many merchant ships carrying our country’s goods... If the Firebird doesn’t care and keeps trying to make trouble, even according to probability, we will be in big trouble!

"Is there any way to calm it down?"

He put the ball back on the table, stood up, and bowed gently to the Dragon Lord:
"Go talk to it and ask it to take back its inner elixir. Will that stop it from making trouble? The barrier between heaven and earth is broken. Will other demon beasts rush out like it and cause chaos everywhere?"
