Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1119 - 432: Twin Fish Descend

The fleeting light at the large fish’s tail disappeared in an instant, yet it couldn’t escape Zhou Xuan’s perception.

His gaze shifted to the fish tail, carefully inspecting for a while without discovering anything strange, he then asked Wu Ya Zen,

"Zen Master, just now, I seem to have seen two streaks of light, one red and one green, what do they represent?"

"Allow me to take a closer look."

Wu Ya Zen turned around, looked at the fish tail, gently touched it, and said: "How strange—"

"What makes it strange?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

Wu Ya Zen unfolded some of the wrinkles on the fish tail.

This Fish Monk’s tail is unlike an ordinary fish tail, it resembles an umbrella that can retract. If it’s in a retracted state, the inner conditions of the tail can’t be seen.

Now, the tail has been spread open, Zhou Xuan has an unobstructed view, he sees—inside the tail lies innumerable Dao patterns.

These Dao patterns are half green and half red, moving around like tadpoles; as they move, the colors shift from deep to light and back, resembling human breathing.

Yet, the rhythm of this breathing is immensely balanced and cyclical, the rhythm contained within is indescribably profound, in harmony with Heaven and Earth, truly deserving of the name "In accord with Heaven."

"How could there be a third kind of power within the body of the Six Desires Zen?"

Wu Ya Zen was somewhat astonished,

and Zhou Xuan could also perceive that these Dao patterns were genuinely Taoist in nature.

"In the will of the Ancient Buddha and Blood God, such an authentic Taoist aura emerged, it’s unknown how it was derived."

While Wu Ya Zen was still bewildered, Alchemist Bai Lu trembled as he approached, saying: "Zen Master, have you ever heard the story of Tao Ancestor gifting two large fish to the Ancient Buddha?"

"Of course, I’ve heard of it, but those two green and red fish were refined into Zen machination by the Ancient Buddha, since they are Zen machination, they shouldn’t have genuine Taoist aura."

Wu Ya Zen’s words left Alchemist Bai Lu speechless,

Zhou Xuan chimed in: "Let me observe the Qi, perhaps I can get closer to the truth."

After speaking, he donned the Tao Ancestor’s mask.

The Tao Ancestor’s mask is a direct inheritance from the Tao Ancestor, capable of perceiving many ethereal and strange things within Taoism.

As soon as the mask was fastened,

Zhou Xuan saw the Fish Monk’s body shrouded in a layer of purple gauze.

Purple, within Taoism, is the most auspicious color, "Tao Ancestor travels west, purple aura stretches ninety thousand miles,"

"Such a good auspicious aura, stuck to a dog’s body."

After cursing, Zhou Xuan continued to observe the fish tail; upon looking, he saw—on the fish tail, there were two swellings.

Calling them swellings because they are merely fleshy protuberances attached to the skin.

However, ordinary swellings typically create a sense of "horror," merely a glance induces feelings of repulsion.

Yet these two tumors have somewhat of a divine appearance,

The tumor skin is transparent, and beneath it is a colorful fleshy disc, intermingled with scenery like water plants and lotus flowers, where green and red fish swim within the tumors.

The fish’s eyes are like jewels, and the micro-light on the scales glimmers more brilliantly than starlight.

Zhou Xuan quickly removed the mask, saying to Wu Ya Zen and Alchemist Bai Lu: "This Fish Monk’s fish tail surprisingly harbors two large fish, one is green and the other red."

Upon hearing about large fish being nurtured, Wu Ya Zen contemplated deeply, and after a while, suddenly clapped his hands together, saying,

"I understand now, those two fish submitted to the Ancient Buddha but did not submit to the Fish Monk. These years, my junior has never truly harnessed those two fish."

"The fish wish to break free from his body and return to Earth to seek a master anew."

After he explained, Zhou Xuan’s initial question to Alchemist Bai Lu was also solved—

—"Lao Bai, you say the Green and Red Fish are Human World Pill Ancestors, why does Fish Monk possess the Green and Red Fish yet only give them to Li Shanzu for alchemy?"

Alchemist Bai Lu initially explained, alchemy is labor-intensive work, requiring constant attention to the fire’s state, whereas the Fish Monk is physically unfit for such tasks, thus naturally can’t produce good pills.

Looking now, the true reason Fish Monk couldn’t create good pills is because the Green and Red Fish didn’t serve him.

Alchemist Bai Lu, understanding the situation, said to Zhou Xuan: "Great Sir, you are truly blessed, this Fish Monk is a Demon Monk; the Green and Red Fish disdain him and won’t submit, but you are different."

"You are a dragon among men, a direct disciple of the Tao Ancestor, these two fish are precisely prepared for you."

"When the Twin Fish break free from the body, the Pill Ancestor will belong to the Great Sir, both an occasion worth celebrating and a blessing for the living beings of Jing Country’s nine prefectures..."

"Enough with the flattery, a couple of sentences would have sufficed, kept on long enough to give me goosebumps, don’t you realize that!"

Zhou Xuan, in a joyful mood, playfully banter with Alchemist Bai Lu using dialect from his past life.

Wu Ya Zen also smiled knowingly: "Although Mr. Bai’s words are somewhat cringeworthy, the meaning is right, Great Sir, no wonder the ’Supreme Secret’ took effect to forcibly keep you, turns out it was to bestow you with an opportunity,

Once Fish Monk passes away, those two fish will belong to you."

"Blessing, truly a blessing."

Zhou Xuan wore a smile, saying: "Zen Master, while I comprehended the Valley True Inheritance, the Tao Ancestor had once hinted at me to journey west..."

West from Mingjiang Prefecture lies Yellow Field Prefecture, now, Zhou Xuan really headed west and indeed gained something.

He reached out and patted Fish Monk, saying: "Old Fish, I always thought you were devoid of morals and decency, looks like I misunderstood you, you are quite kind-hearted, saving these wonderful things without using them, keeping them safe for a thousand years, just waiting for me to claim."
