Chapter 172: Treasure Hunt in Dragon Palace
"Your Highness the Dragon King, do you really think I'm a playboy who can only rely on my father's power?"
Wen Rui raised his head and said proudly: "Back then, I was a military advisor and helped my father lead the Shang army. We were evenly matched with the Zhou army led by Lei Zhenzi, Nezha, Yang Jian, Yin Jiao, Zheng Lun, Huang Tianhua and other gods. I have my own strengths."
"Nezha, who was holding your dragon head and beating you, now dares not get within a hundred meters of me when he sees me, for fear of being infected with the new mutant mold and getting moldy and rotten all over his body!"
As he spoke, Wen Rui took out a small fluorescent bottle from his arms and said with a gloomy face: "This bottle of mine contains high-purity polonium-210. This bottle contains about 20 grams. If this thing spreads in the sea, perhaps the immortal-level sea creatures can still survive, but it is not difficult to exterminate ordinary aquatic creatures..."
Ao Guang's old face turned pale, and he grinned, saying, "I have neglected you, young master. When I was carrying out the order of the Heavenly Court to make clouds and rain, I cooperated more with the thunder gods under your father's command. It was just that it was difficult to see the face of Lord Tianzun, so I had no way to get to know your father."
During the Conferred Gods War, Wen Rui and Lu Yue colluded with each other to develop a new virus to harm the Zhou army, and Dragon King Ao Guang also heard about their evil deeds.
Even a vegetative person like Nezha was seriously ill and dying from the infection of the fungus he developed. The so-called "Polonium-210" in the small bottle that he took out could poison all the sea creatures was probably true.
If the aquatic race becomes extinct, even if the immortal level can survive, his reign as the king of the aquatic race will be over.
"Your Majesty, Dragon King, I will ascend to heaven sooner or later and serve as an official in my father's Ministry of Thunder."
Wen Rui said meaningfully: "The Thunder Department has a close relationship with the Star Department and the Dou Department. Lady Dou Mu Yuanjun is my father's master. My father's faction has always been at odds with Li Tianwang's Military Department..."
Ao Guang's eyes suddenly widened, and his smile grew even brighter: "Back then, you were known as the Little Grand Master, and I'm afraid you will have the title of 'Little Heavenly Lord' in the future. In this case, I should get closer to you, and serve in the same court in the future, so that we can help each other."
At this point, he quickly pointed at the Dragon Girl in the hall and said, "Lan'er, you should make more friends with Master Wen. You young people must have a lot of common topics."
The dragon girl frowned, obviously disgusted with her father's behavior. She glanced at Wen Rui with disdain, then turned her head away, secretly sulking.
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, is such a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. As the supreme dragon, he has always been a background board for the protagonist and has been bullied in various ways. How miserable he is.
Five hundred years ago, he was bullied by the naughty boy Nezha, and a thousand years later, he was extorted for treasure by a monkey.
The implication in Wen Rui's words was already very obvious.
The Dragon King's duties overlap a lot with the Ministry of Thunder, and they have a superior-subordinate relationship. Wen Tianzun is considered one of the superiors in charge of the Dragon King.
Ao Guang and Nezha had a grudge against each other for killing each other's son, and they once joined forces with the Four Dragon Kings to flood Chentang Pass, forcing Li Jing, the Heavenly King, who was still a mortal, to kill his son. The hatred between the two sides was very deep.
However, the laws of nature are unpredictable, and Ao Guang never expected that General Li Jing has now been promoted to Heavenly King, and Nezha has been named the Vanguard General of Heaven. The father and son command a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, and are both favorites under the Jade Emperor.
He was in a bit of an awkward situation now. Even if he didn't want to lick the dragon's face, Li Tianwang might not be willing to accept the dragon as his dog when he remembered the past when he was embarrassed.
It is said that it is easy to be an official if you have someone in the court. Although Li Tianwang has great power in the court, he is not without opposing factions. Wen Zhongwen Tianzun has always looked down on such disloyal and treacherous rebel generals.
Wen Tianzun is looked after by Dou Mu Yuanjun, who rules over the five stars. He also has many old friends in the court, including the Department of Fire, Department of Plague, Department of Blessing (God of Wealth), and Department of Life (Three Xiaos). It is a major faction in the Heavenly Court.
If he could join Wen Tianzun's faction, Ao Guang would not know whether he could get revenge, but at least he would not have to kneel in front of his enemies and swallow his anger.
"Master Wen, you came to my Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to ask for some treasures, didn't you?" Ao Guang understood the meaning of the song and took the initiative to speak: "I am rich and have mountains of treasures in the palace. Master Wen, you can take whatever you like!"
Wen Rui rubbed his hands, smiled shyly and said, "Your Highness the Dragon King, you are a quick-witted person. I have decided to make you my friend. There is indeed a treasure in the Dragon Palace, which is the foundation of my cultivation and enlightenment. That's why I came to bother you."
"You are still practicing?" The dragon girl at the side couldn't help but say, "As a mortal, it seems that it will be a long time before you can even reach the great perfection of the Qi training stage. Why do you need the treasures of the Dragon Palace to build your foundation?"
Wen Rui was too lazy to argue with the little girl, so he just said to Ao Guang: "I heard that in the Dragon Palace Sea Treasure, there is a piece of precious iron that can measure the depth of the sky river. It was refined by Taishang Laojun, and later borrowed by Emperor Yu to measure the depth of rivers, lakes and seas when he was controlling floods. It is that treasure that I want."
Ao Guang was stunned and asked, "Master Wen, what do you want that sea-suppressing item for?"
"As a weapon." Wen Rui said casually, "I was born with supernatural power. I can move mountains and walk on the seas like picking up catkins. I still don't have a weapon that suits me. I heard that the Dinghai Shenzhen weighs 13,500 kilograms. To me, it's just the weight of a chopstick, but it's much heavier than ordinary weapons."
"puff……"
Dragon Girl Ao Lan laughed out loud: "Father, just give it to him. But the Dinghai Shenzhen is too heavy. My sea clan soldiers and generals can't lift it or move it. If he wants to take it, he can only go and get it himself."
Although the names of the immortal's jin and the mortal's jin are the same, their measurement standards are different.
The Dinghai Shenzhen weighs 13,500 kilograms, which would be more than 5,000 tons if converted into tons.
Only a person with a physique stronger than an immortal can lift such a weight.
Unless one is a power-type immortal with a special physique, ordinary True Immortals may not have such power. Ao Guang, the Dragon King in the True Immortal realm, does not have such a physique.
Wen Rui was just an ordinary man, without any spiritual energy or divine light. The Dragon Girl obviously did not believe his boasting and wanted to make him look bad and retreat.
Dragon King Ao Guang hesitated, frowned and said, "Master Wen, the Dinghai Shenzhen is a treasure that can suppress the luck of the four seas. If I give it to you, what will happen if the sea is turbulent and typhoons continue in the future?"
Wen Rui chuckled and shook his head, "Your Highness the Dragon King, do you really not know, or do you think I'm stupid and are trying to trick me?"
"Why do you say that, Master Wen?" The Dragon King asked suspiciously, "The name of that treasure is 'Dinghai', isn't it a magical object that can calm the waves of the ocean?"
"I'm annoyed by people like you who make wild guesses about the function of a treasure just by looking at its name."
Wen Rui shrugged and said with disdain: "First of all, no matter how big the waves on the sea are, they can't affect the deep sea. Secondly, the ocean current system and the mechanism of typhoon generation are related to climate, seasons, atmosphere, temperature, monsoon and even the moon. Whether the four seas are flat or not is the law of the operation of the heavens. It has nothing to do with a monkey stick in the sea!"
"Besides, even with this stick, peace will not come to the world. The ocean will always be stormy and rough."
At this point, Wen Rui's face darkened, and he sneered at the Dragon King and said, "Don't attribute the laws of the operation of the heaven to a certain treasure or a certain god."
"Old Dragon King, you are the king of the four seas, but can you bear the responsibility for the injustice in the four seas? Do you dare to bear the karma of all the people who died unjustly along the coast of the sea? It's okay to scare the fishermen with such lies, but I am also an insider in the circle of gods, so don't be so pretentious!"
