Chapter 2284: A Godly Green Onion Shoot
People are naturally curious creatures. They were always driven by a desire for knowledge. When the answer they seek is just a page away, their eagerness to uncover it only intensifies. This insatiable curiosity has been a driving force behind human development.
On the other side of the spectrum, Venerable Yellow Mountain took a sip of his celestial tea.
"Halfway through, I almost started believing it myself," he mused silently.
He cast a glance behind him. If things went as expected, Doudou should have secretly contacted his friend Song Shuhang by now. Venerable Yellow Mountain had raised Doudou from the beginning and could predict the kind of trouble the canine was about to cause. He knew that Doudou's intelligence would lead it to discreetly reach out to Song Shuhang.
Because he was aware that Doudou would definitely contact Song Shuhang, Venerable Yellow Mountain had gone along with the flow and described the three hexagrams to Song Shuhang. If everything unfolded as planned, these three divinations would undoubtedly baffle Song Shuhang for some time.
"Well, clever little creatures like him won't easily buy into the answers I provided." Venerable Yellow Mountain thought.
The young man's surplus of energy and thirst for knowledge would surely drive him to seek deeper truths.
"It's good to be young," Venerable Yellow Mountain said softly.
Moreover, regardless of what truths Song Shuhang might uncover, he would never have the opportunity to personally verify them. Without verification, it was impossible to confirm whether something was truly the 'truth.' It was a rather disconcerting thought.
In Jiangnan College Town, Song Shuhang gazed out of the window while lost in thought. It was already the early morning of December 5th.
"It's arrived!" he suddenly exclaimed.
"What's up?" came the drowsy voice of the hamster. It seemed to have been awakened from its slumber by Song Shuhang's abrupt declaration.
Song Shuhang gave a faint smile and said, "The flying dagger I sent to Fairy Susu yesterday has reached its destination."
"The term 'flying dagger messenger' almost makes it sound like you're planning to stab Fairy Susu. 'Flying sword messenger' definitely has a better ring to it," the hamster quipped while still half-asleep.
Song Shuhang was speechless. "Is it really necessary to interpret my words like that?"
Just then, his phone screen lit up with a message from Fairy Susu. "Fellow Daoist Song, I've received your 'flying dagger,' but it seems to be empty."
Song Shuhang clarified, "No, there's something there. Oh, I forgot to mention, Fairy, take a closer look. There should be a green onion sprout attached to the treasured saber. It's an incredibly auspicious treasure."
Fairy Susu was bewildered. If it weren't for Song Shuhang's insistence that she use the Golden Needle Dragon Sealing Formation to freeze the 'Evil Broken Dragon,' she might have assumed he was playing a prank.
"Fairy, try using this 'green onion shoot' inside the 'Broken Dragon Evil Wang' to see the effect. It's an extraordinary green onion, so it should be potent," Song Shuhang advised her.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Susu nodded and chose to trust him. "I'll give it a try now."
In a distant Common People's Path, Fairy Susu stowed away the treasured saber Broken Tyrant and secured it at her waist. Then, she clutched the green onion shoot between her fingers and made her way toward the location of the Broken Dragon Evil Wang.
"Vice Sect Leader, do you have a solution for this Broken Dragon Evil Wang?" asked a common people path disciple responsible for maintaining the formation and monitoring Broken Dragon Evil Wang. He hoped that Fairy Susu had brought a solution this time, given her successful use of the formation to halt Broken Dragon Evil Wang the previous day.
"I have a plan that I'm going to test. This Broken Dragon Evil Wang is quite peculiar, and I'm not entirely confident. I'll need to try various methods," Fairy Susu explained calmly. By stating this, her credibility would remain intact regardless of whether she succeeded or failed.
After all, the common people path disciples had all witnessed firsthand the challenges posed by Broken Dragon Evil Wang.
Fairy Susu extended her delicate hand, directing it toward Broken Dragon Evil Wang. Rather than simply tossing the 'green onion shoot' into the void, she decided to use a spell that wrapped the core of the spell around the green onion shoot.
"What kind of spell is this?" the common people path disciples guarding the formation wondered aloud.
"Could it be a new spell developed by the Deputy Sect Master?" one disciple speculated.
"Go!" Fairy Susu commanded.
A brilliant beam of light surged from her hand and carried the green onion shoot with it. It plunged into the river of Broken Dragon Evil Wang.
Boom!
The seemingly formidable light beam disappeared like a clay ox in the sea as soon as it struck Broken Dragon Evil Wang. Within a few breaths, the pillar of light vanished entirely.
However, Broken Dragon Evil Wang remained unaffected.
"Did it fail?" Fairy Susu pondered.
"Even though it's been frozen, this Big River Evil Wang remains incredibly formidable," the common people path disciples lamented.
Just as they discussed this, a green light suddenly appeared at the center of the Broken Dragon Evil Wang.
With the green light as the epicenter, Broken Dragon Evil Wang was forcibly pushed back.
Fairy Susu's eyes sparkled with delight.
The green onion shoot had not disappointed her!
The sound of rushing water seemed like a tidal wave as the river parted.
It was as if someone had sliced through it!
The waters surged to the left and right and parted to reveal the dry land beneath.
The Common People's Path, previously sealed off by water, was now an open passage to the outside world.
"It worked, it worked!" cheered the common people path disciples.
Fairy Susu beamed.
After contemplating for a moment, she ventured into the path where the river had been 'split.'
There, an inconspicuous green onion shoot emitted a faint green glow.
"I owe you another favor," Fairy Susu murmured softly. Then, she produced a magical seal and gently placed it next to the green onion shoot and used it to safeguard the precious plant.
Simultaneously, she erected stone pillars around the green onion shoot and enclosed it.
As long as the green onion shoot remained intact, the waters would stay separated.
"No one is to touch the magical seal or the stone pillars," Fairy Susu ordered as she turned slightly.
The common people path disciples behind her nodded in agreement.
They understood that the green light was what separated the waters. Unless they were foolish, they would never touch or harm the green light.
With a slight nod, Fairy Susu turned and swiftly returned to her immortal cave to report the matter to Fellow Daoist Song Shuhang.
This green onion shoot was truly miraculous!
Upon receiving Fairy Susu's feedback, Song Shuhang nodded in approval.
Indeed, Lady Onion possessed an extraordinary fortune!
Next, he would need to rigorously train Lady Onion and prepare her for a future among the top contenders for the Heavenly Dao.
He also decided to contact Senior White Two.
"Senior White, are you interested in the Broken Dragon Evil Wang?" Song Shuhang inquired through their mental connection.
"I'm more interested in the head," Senior White Two replied cryptically.
Song Shuhang was perplexed.
Then, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked down at the paper.
The third hexagram was: Turn your head + lights + people.
Could it be that the answer to the third hexagram was Senior White Two?
