Chapter 40 Leaving Mount Tai
Hong Yun is indeed a kind-hearted good man in any legend. The gentle smile on his face is refreshing and makes people unconsciously like him. Even if Heng Ming wants to find fault with him, he can't say anything. Instead, he feels a little alert in his heart.

"Every innate sacred being born represents a certain law of the great way. I am destiny, Bixia Yuanjun is the earth, and what about Hongyun? Is it the so-called wind or cloud? But his signature spiritual treasure, the Nine-Nine Soul-Dispersing Red Gourd, is mainly composed of countless soul-dispersing spiritual sands. This Hongyun is even more mysterious than me."

Even though Hongyun was kind, under Hengming's intentional criticism, some flaws were revealed that only Hengming could see. Everything happened in a flash. On the surface, Hengming showed a kind smile and nodded slightly: "My name is Hengming, nice to meet you, fellow Daoist Hongyun."

Bixia Yuanjun pointed to the position between her and Hengming, and another jade stool appeared. The two golden boys and jade girls also took out plates of delicious food and spiritual fruits as they were used to.

Hongyun was not surprised. She sat down on the jade stool with a smile. She grabbed a handful of tourmaline-like jade fruit and put it in her mouth to chew, with an intoxicated expression on her face.

"The jade bead fruit is indeed delicious. The ginseng fruit is equally sweet and delicious, but there are too few of them. Zhen Yuanzi only gave me a dozen at a time, which was not enough for me. There is no jade bead fruit that I can eat a basket of at a time."

Hong Yun was generous with his praise, but he did not belittle the ginseng fruit in his words. Instead, he revealed his deep friendship with Zhen Yuanzi.

Hengming's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself, "This Hongyun and Bixia Yuanjun have known each other for a long time. Bixia Yuanjun must have known these things for some time. Why repeat them today? It's either an unintentional mistake or intentional. It shows that he and Zhen Yuanzi also have a deep friendship. It's just that the innate saints can recognize the best innate spiritual roots, but they may not be able to recognize Zhen Yuanzi. Let's see what he will say next."

As expected, Hongyun slapped his forehead and said with annoyance, "Look at my poor memory. I haven't told Fellow Daoist Hengming yet. Zhen Yuanzi was transformed from a little spiritual consciousness of the ginseng fruit tree. He was supposed to come to Mount Tai with me today to meet with Fellow Daoist Bixia Yuanjun, but the Earth Book he controls has been moving recently, and it seems that there is an opportunity. So I can only stop here today. Please apologize to Fellow Daoist Bixia Yuanjun for me."

Hengming's expression remained unchanged, but he began to sneer in his heart: "How ridiculous! Are you trying to use Zhen Yuanzi to pressure me? This Hongyun is really not simple. As expected, there are no real stupid innate gods in the world, because they have died long ago."

Bixia Yuanjun waved her hand and said, "You and I are both great innate gods with infinite lifespans, so why should we be so polite? Since Zhenyuanzi cannot leave Wuzhuang Temple, it will be the same if I go to Wanshou Mountain someday. This Taoist friend Hengming is extraordinary. If he hadn't been here today, I'm afraid I would have really been in great trouble."

Hong Yun seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, and even forgot to chew the fruit in his mouth, and asked hurriedly: "What happened?"

Bixia Yuanjun sighed and told the whole story that had just happened. Hongyun was furious and indignant. He wanted to curse at her on the spot, or go directly to the West to capture Zhunti Jieyin.

Finally, Hongyun thanked Hengming who was standing beside him: "I really want to thank Daoist Fellow Hengming for this trip. Otherwise, Daoist Fellow Bixia Yuanjun's trip would have been really hard to say."

Hengming had long been wary of Hongyun's kind face, so he just said calmly: "It's not bad."

Hong Yun then said, "I don't know how badly Daoist Hengming's injuries are. I still have a few ginseng fruits that Zhen Yuanzi gave me. If Daoist Hengming needs them, I'll take them out now."

However, after hearing this, the expression on Bixia Yuanjun's face changed slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes when she looked at Hongyun.

You know, even those ordinary creatures are very secretive about their privacy, let alone these innate gods. Hongyun and Hengming have just met, and now if they rashly ask about Hengming's injuries, if it were those petty-minded gods, they would probably really make enemies.

Bixia Yuanjun was a little puzzled: "Hongyun is such a careful person on weekdays, why is he so stupid today? No, I have just established a good relationship with Hengming, I can't let Hongyun ruin it like this."

Just as Bixia Yuanjun was about to speak to smooth things over, she heard Hengming's tone become even calmer: "Don't worry about this, Daoist Hongyun. I once traveled through the void when I was a Golden Immortal, and I also encountered sneak attacks from two top-level innate divine beings, but I fought them off on my own. This injury will heal automatically in a few years, so don't worry about it."

Hearing Hengming's amazing record, Bixia Yuanjun and Hongyun couldn't help but gasp, especially Bixia Yuanjun. She knew Hengming was strong, but she didn't know he was so strong.

But Bixia Yuanjun had seen Hengming take action, but Hongyun had never seen it. A trace of doubt flashed across her face, and Hengming added: "By the way, the two people who attacked me seemed to be called Dong Wanggong and Xukong Daoren. They established a force called Xianting. I wonder if Daoist Hongyun has heard of it."

"Xian Ting! Dong Wang Gong, Void Taoist!" Hong Yun's face was slightly confused. He naturally knew what these three names represented. Just like the birth of the hundreds of innate races, the various forces above the prehistoric world gradually revealed their leaders, and Xian Ting was a very shining star among them.

There are three magic needles in the fairy court, and Dong Wanggong and Xukong Taoist are two of them.

Hong Yun compared himself with these two people and found out with great frustration: if they were in a life-and-death duel, he would definitely be killed by them, because he was not good at fighting, and his good friend Zhen Yuanzi was not good at it either. However, Zhen Yuanzi had the Book of Earth, and could stand on the earth with invincible defense, similar to a goddess he saw on Mount Buzhou, while he could only run away.

Hongyun sighed secretly, but Hengming didn't want to deal with Hongyun anymore, so he just stood up and said to Bixia Yuanjun: "Daoyou Bixia, since the matter is over, I should leave."

Bixia Yuanjun was originally still immersed in the story of Hengming defeating two innate gods of the same level. After hearing Hengming's words, she woke up as if from a dream. She quickly stood up and said, "Daoyou Hengming, why did you leave so quickly? Why don't you stay a little longer? The three of us haven't discussed the Dao yet?"

Heng Ming shook his head and said, "I have gained a lot from discussing Dao with Daoist Fellow Bixia. As the saying goes, one cannot chew too much. If we are destined to do so in the future, the three of us can discuss Dao together again."

Bixia Yuanjun knew that it was Hongyun's offense that annoyed Hengming, otherwise, with Hengming's usual humble style, he would never boast about his past deeds. She couldn't help feeling a little annoyed and secretly hated Hongyun for neglecting her distinguished guest, but seeing that Hengming was determined to leave, she had no choice but to ask one of the women to pack a few more baskets of jade bead fruit and present them to him, hoping that Hengming would not mind today's displeasure.

Hengming just didn't want to see Hongyun again, and didn't have a bad impression of Bixia Yuanjun. After all, it was very beneficial to make friends with such a cheerful goddess, so he accepted the baskets of jade bead fruits to show that he didn't care.

As he was leaving, Hengming casually asked the girl beside him, "What's your name?"

The jade girl didn't expect Hengming to speak to her. She was flattered and opened her mouth but no sound came out.

Hengming couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't Daoist Fellow Bixia give her a name?"

Bixia Yuanjun smiled and said, "My boy is just a little shy. She usually talks and laughs beside me, making me uneasy like a bee. Her real name is Xuannv, and her body is the Xiantian Jade Bead Tree. Because she needs to absorb the pure air above the Nine Heavens to grow, I gave her the word Jiutian. You can call her Xuannv."

Heng Ming was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect to meet the Queen Mother of the West today. However, there was a rumor in later generations that the Queen Mother of the West was the disciple of Bixia Yuanjun, so he was not very surprised.

He just nodded gently and gave some of the little toys he had made to her and the golden boy beside him.

Although he was not very proficient in refining equipment, the materials he used were rare in the world. For these two Taoist children, it was also a relatively rare treasure.

"I'll give you these few things. If you want something better, I can't afford it. You can only wait for Fellow Daoist Bixia to give it to you in the future. I'm leaving now."

After Hengming said this, he immediately took the Fate Island and traveled through the void, disappearing without a trace.

Seeing that Hengming was still in the mood to joke before leaving, Bixia Yuanjun knew that Hengming really didn't take these things to heart. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned to Hongyun with anger.

　My throat is almost healed. I will resume updating tomorrow.

　　Why did Hongyun doubt when Hengming talked about his own achievements, but believed it after he said his name? This is because the innate gods are also connected. When you mention him, it is equivalent to establishing a causal relationship between each other. If you lie and say that you defeated someone, but the fact is that the person doesn’t even know you, then he will definitely come to trouble you, because you are tarnishing his reputation. For this reason, those who dare to say the name are basically telling the truth, which is equivalent to inertial thinking. It can also be understood as the Luoshui Alliance. As long as there are not many gods talking nonsense, then after the real name is said, it will basically be assumed to be true.
