I am a fairy

Chapter 269 The First Basque Snake in the World

The Basher originally had no name, but he thought his name was Basher because he was the first Basher between heaven and earth.

But one day, by chance, he met another python underground.

He asked the other person what his name was, and the other person said his name was also Bashe.

"Your name is Bashe too?"

He finally understood that creatures that looked like him were called Baske, just like those creatures with heads on two arms were called humans.

So, he had a name.

"Ba Xuan!"

Because his body is made of black iron, he is invulnerable to swords and spears, and is immune to water and fire. Although his status is not as high as some top gods, he is also one of the most ferocious demons in the world.

Someone from the same tribe asked, "Why not call it Ba Tie?"

Ba Xuan said, "Xuan sounds better than Tie, and it sounds much more powerful."

The same tribesman said: "What is Ba Tie? Gold and silver are more valuable. I think it should be called Ba Yin or Ba Jin."

Ba Xuan added: "We are made of iron, so we must seek truth from facts and not flatter ourselves."

Since receiving the decree from heaven, the entire Bashe clan has received their respective assigned duties and rushed to various places to dredge and expand the dragon veins of Jiuzhou.

Some went to the severe miasma areas in the south, some returned to the hometown of Bashe, and headed towards the hometown of Yunmeng and the Wushan Bashu area.

Ba Xuan, on the other hand, was heading north.

Although the Bashes are scattered all over the place, their spirits and souls often gather together.

In the underworld's palace, Ba Xuan stood in the main hall and raised his arms to shout.

“Who else is going north?”

A fellow tribesman asked, "Which line?"

Ba Xuan immediately said: "It's from Huayan line."

Many snakes looked away, and one of them shook its head and said, "No, let's take another route."

However, there was also a snake shouting: "I, I am from the Huayan line."

More of our fellow tribesmen stood up: "There are a few of us as well, and we are all responsible for developing the Huayan line."

Ba Xuan counted and found that there were more than forty brothers belonging to the Huayan line, and he was the one with the highest seniority and the oldest.

He thought that now everything was settled, he should be the leader, responsible for controlling and coordinating everything.

Ba Xuan thought he was the protagonist, but when the Huayan Line was under construction, a god in charge of and directing everything descended from the sky.

When he first learned about it, Ba Xuan was very unconvinced.

"Who the hell dared to interfere with this great general?"

When they met, he curled up on the ground obediently.

Ba Xuan didn't dare to speak because the other party was a god or demon who came down from the sky.

The magical powers of the gods and demons made Ba Xuan tremble with fear. The Bashe clan, which had always been arrogant and looked down on everyone, trembled in fear when they saw the gods and demons, and did not dare to disobey their orders at all.

After the plan started, the gods and demons continued to issue orders.

Ba Xuan admired him even more.

No one knew what magical power that god or demon used, but he was able to dispatch and control dozens of pythons at the same time, plan and arrange all their work details, and even directly control and take over their bodies.

In a flash, the god or devil can control tens of thousands of demons and start working at the same time, and there will not be any error in the whole process.

There is even a situation where some special monsters are missing and the project cannot be completed.

The god and devil then created a demon on the spot with his hands.

Ba Xuan watched the other party "enlighten" all kinds of monsters in front of him, as if he could make anything he wanted to happen. He was just short of kneeling on the ground and calling the other party a god.

"My goodness, the gods and demons in the sky are really not simple."

The pythons and all the monsters were completely convinced, and they followed the gods and demons obediently to continuously advance the Jiuzhou Dragon Vein Project.

After leaving the capital, they began to dig and develop in sections according to the route plan.

"Boom!"

The nine lands beneath the earth were opened up, the mountains were dug through, and Ba Xuan was getting farther and farther away from the place he was familiar with.

The section of road that Ba Xuan and his team are responsible for is called the Huayan Line. As the name suggests, it runs from Huajing City to Yanyang City.

That’s right, before Kyushu was unified, the dragon veins had already been planned from the Kyoto of the Southern Dynasty to the Kyoto of the Northern Dynasty.

There is no need for the consent of the emperors of the two dynasties, and it doesn't matter whether the two sides have finished the war for the unification of the Nine Provinces by then.

Anyway, when the time comes, we have to open up the dragon vein.

Ba Xuan was the vanguard general.

He needed to clear the obstacles in front before allowing the group of monsters behind him to pass and work.

Then, the gods and demons that came down from the nine heavens would display all kinds of magical powers to expand and widen the dragon vein and add all kinds of special abilities.

It is said that in the end, the main dragon vein of Kyushu will reach an incredible size, and even allow people to travel through Kyushu in one day.

"General Ba, we seem to be almost at the Huai River." When Ba Xuan was digging underground, an intelligent demon among the group of little demons following him suddenly said.

"How do you know?" Bashe asked him.

"There is a demon tree above my head. If it sees me, I will see it too. People on earth are still celebrating a festival and it is very lively." It was still winter at this time and the ground above was covered with ice and snow. There was indeed a festival going on outside as well, but to be more precise, it was the New Year's Day.

It can also be called New Year's Day or New Year's Day.

Bashe said: "Today is a festival, how come we didn't know about it? And why are we still busy underground during the festival?"

The demon said: "People are celebrating the festival, we are not people, how can we compete with them?"

Bashe thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he continued working.

After a while, Bashe thought about it and felt something was wrong.

"How can we compare with others? Do they not compare with us, or do we not compare with them?"

The demon under the seat heard this and answered immediately.

"of course."

"Of course they are not as good as us. We don't even bother to celebrate festivals that other people celebrate."

After hearing this, Bashe said happily.

"Yes, yes."

"What festivals are we celebrating? People celebrate festivals, not us."

"Work, work. The more work you do, the more merit you will gain. The sooner you can become a great god, the sooner your name will be recorded in the Book of Heaven."

Overhead, gongs and drums sounded, lights and decorations were hung, and every household was preparing to celebrate the New Year.

Underground, the Basah led the monsters and headed north in the darkness.
-
The Jiuzhou Dragon Vein project is rushed and busy.

The merit bestowed upon him by the Heaven was so tempting that the snake was so busy that he did not know the darkness of day or night.

From the beginning of the month to the end of the month, it is a new month again.

The python had no idea what time it was outside, and sometimes it didn't even know where it had dug. It just moved forward aimlessly along the route planned by its vision.

However, you can always take some time off from your busy schedule.

At the beginning of spring, Ba Xuan went to the banquet again.

He was unable to attend the Peony Dragon Pond Banquet, so this time it was Wuzhiqi, the God of the Huai River, who invited him. Ba Xuan felt proud and hurried to attend the banquet.

Wuzhiqi is not only the god of the Huai River, but also a great demon from ancient times, and was subdued by the Emperor of Heaven.

Born as a demon, he was locked up by the Emperor of Heaven.

These two halos immediately reminded Ba Xuan of himself. He was also born as a great demon. At this moment, his statue was still cast under the altar in Badude Yunzhong Temple as a stepping stone!

“Isn’t this another me?”

Wuzhiqi, who has a similar background and experience, seems to let Ba Xuan see his own future.

At the banquet.

Ba Xuan raised his head slowly and kept looking at the God of Huai River on the throne of the altar, with a strange light in his eyes.

Although he did not sigh and say, "He can replace him."

But when the wine from the Artemisia selengensis seeped into his heart and he fell into a deep intoxication, Ba Xuan, who had transformed into a human form, rubbed his eyes. For some reason, he suddenly found that the figure sitting on the throne of the altar had suddenly turned into himself.

Ba Xuan couldn't help laughing. This must be some kind of omen, it must be God's will!
At this time, Wuzhiqi on the throne of the altar also noticed Ba Xuan's gaze and laughter, and immediately looked down.

"Why is General Ba Xuan laughing?"

Ba Xuan's eyes immediately cleared up and he spoke quickly.

"Drunk, drunk..."

At this time, Wuzhiqi also spoke up and talked about something.

"In recent days, I and the gods of the Water Palace have been trying to tidy up the Huai River system and clean up the fields on both sides of the river."

"This will help to completely clear the Huai River system, prevent it from flooding, and allow it to irrigate the fields on earth, increase the number of fertile fields, and increase grain production. It will also provide drinking water for the people, so that the people on both sides of the Huai River will have drinking water."

"But recently, I and the gods of the Water Palace have encountered some difficulties..."

It turns out that Wuzhiqi has great supernatural powers.

He is very famous and has a great background.

It is said that they all have their names registered with the Emperor of Heaven.

But when it comes to moving mountains and filling the sea, you have to look to the Basah. They cannot do things like cutting through mountains and digging roads, but if the Basah and the monsters under its command were to do it, it would be much easier and more convenient.

And this is why Wuzhiqi invited Ba Xuan over this time.

You must know that although the Bashe clan has powerful magical powers, their personalities are very bad.

They are all ruthless with their words, saying weird things behind people's backs, and they are arrogant and don't take Chang Shen seriously.

All kinds of ghosts and gods didn't like them very much, and kept their distance from them. But this time Wuzhiqi took the initiative to invite them, and it was obvious that he had no "good intentions".

As expected, at this point, Wuzhiqi's true colors were revealed.

"I don't know."

"General Jiudi Tongyou, could you please help me with this favor in Huaishui Water Palace? The gods in my water palace will surely be grateful."

The table in front of Ba Xuan was like a huge altar. With the power of Haoli, wisps of green smoke turned into huge roasted elephants.

He opened his huge mouth, and the image of a python emerged behind him.

One mouthful.

Then he swallowed the roasted elephant.

Ba Xuan closed his eyes and was savoring the food carefully when he almost choked when he heard Wuzhiqi's words.

He swallowed the elephant with a gulp and spoke quickly.

“This…this…this.”

"How can this be possible?"

"Heaven has already decided where to go, where to dig, and where to dredge the water system."

"Although I have the responsibility of opening the nine realms, I cannot dig randomly."

"Otherwise, if the Nine Heavens blame me, I won't be able to bear it."

"..."

Ba Xuan talked a lot, and although he made a lot of excuses, it was indeed true.

But looking at his face, the word "reluctance" was also written all over it.

What are you grateful for?

Doesn't being grateful mean working for free without getting paid?

The Heba Snake clan is just simple-minded, but honest, not stupid.

"There are plenty of people who will do business that will get them killed, but no one will do business that will lose money."

Faced with this excuse made by Ba Xuan, Wuzhiqi seemed to have expected it.

At this time, Wuzhiqi immediately followed the excuse made by Ba Xuan and completely framed Ba Xuan.

Wuzhiqi nodded: "General Jiudi Tongyou is truly loyal to his duty."

Ba Xuan immediately said, "That's right. As for the Heavenly Law, this general never dares to violate it. As for the decrees of the Heavenly Court, I always obey them without even a word of disobeying them."

Wuzhiqi had been waiting here for a long time and immediately laughed and said.

"That's really great!"

"I have already reported this matter to the Heavenly Court, and now the Heavenly Court has agreed."

"With these words from General Jiudi Tongyou, all the gods in my Huaishui Water Palace can be said to be completely relieved."

Actually.

The so-called permission was to allow Wuzhiqi to report their plan for cleaning up the Huai River system and the construction plan for water conservancy facilities and irrigation systems to the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court did agree.

However, the Heavenly Court only agreed to this plan, but was not prepared to allocate any extra resources to Wuzhiqi.

Therefore, Wuzhiqi, the god of the Huai River, has to take on the task of finding someone to do it.

Wuzhiqi and all the gods in the Huaishui Water Palace are counting on the great merits that will be brought about by the success of this grand plan, just like the Bashe clan are counting on the merits of the Jiuzhou Dragon Vein Plan.

The difference is that the merits of the Bashe clan fell from the sky, while the merits of Wuzhiqi and others were actively sought after by themselves.

Wuzhiqi was smiling widely, and was almost scratching his ears and cheeks to reveal his true identity when sitting on the throne of the altar. He quickly raised his wine glass and called on all the gods in the Huaishui Water Palace to come up together.

"Hurry up!"

"Here, General Jiudi Tongyou, fill it up, fill it up quickly."

"You're welcome, General. I won't go home until I'm drunk today. I won't go home until I'm drunk. Hahahaha!"

In the entire Huaishui Water Palace, all the gods came forward one by one to thank Ba Xuan.

That's true gratitude, radiating from the inside out.

Good words are spoken for free, because they really are free.

"As long as General Ba agrees, the people on both sides of the Huai River will be able to live a good life."

"Our Huaishui Water Palace can also gain great merit. No, our Huaishui Water Palace can finally benefit the world."

"General Jiudi Tongyou is indeed generous and magnanimous, just as the rumors say."

The young Ba Xuan never thought that Wuzhiqi and the gods of the Huaishui Water Palace were so cunning, but at the moment he was at the mercy of others, and at the same time, he was embarrassed because of the big words he had just said.

Especially since he had just said that he had always obeyed the decrees of Heaven without even a word of disobedience, and now he really didn't know how to refuse.

There was no other way but to agree verbally.

"After we get back, we'll drag it slowly!"

However, Wuzhiqi and the gods in the Huaishui Water Palace are not so easy to fool.

soon.

He took out a decree issued by the Heavenly Court and asked Ba Xuan to sign his name on it on the spot.

Ba Xuan was not willing to do it. It was enough to just talk about it, but he could also go back on his word.

If you sign your name on this, you will really do it.

"This, this... this is not necessary!"

The ancient demon god Wuzhiqi suddenly revealed a ferocious look, and the terrifying ancient ferocious ape image emerged from behind him.

Dark clouds and evil spirits filled the sky, and raging fire burned the earth.

"Oh!"

"Since you have said it well, why don't you dare to put your name on the decree?"

"Could it be that they have been deceiving us before?"

“Although I am not some great god, and the Huaishui Palace is nothing, I will not tolerate being bullied like this.”

After he finished speaking, all the people, gods, demons and ghosts in the Huaishui Palace looked over.

They all glared with their eyes and puffed their beards, like angry King Kong.

unknown.

I thought Ba Xuan had fallen into some demon cave or devil sea.

"Ok!"

"Yeah, why not sign it?"

"Does this mean you look down on us?"

"Although our Huaishui Water God is kind-hearted, he will not allow himself to be bullied."

"Ba Xuan, why don't you sign your name quickly?"

Under the persuasion of the kind eyes of the Huai River gods.

Ba Xuan had no choice but to sign his name on the decree.

This project, which originally belonged to the Huaishui Water Palace, now has his name on it and he has a share in it.

While he was developing the Jiuzhou Dragon Veins plan, he also helped Wuzhiqi, the God of the Huai River, to complete their engineering plan.

"Good, good, very good."

"General Jiudi Tongyou is truly courageous and loyal to his duties!"

"Come on, come on, fill it up."

"How can you leave so soon? The night is still long!"

"Hey, hey, hey, General Jiudi Tongyou is too polite. Would you like to eat more?"

Ba Xuan escaped from the Huaishui Water Palace in a panic.

A bit of soul flew out from the water palace, ran towards Haoli as if escaping, and then prepared to transfer from there back to its own territory.

Looking back, looking at the Huaishui Palace surrounded by incense and shining with golden light, it looks like a fairy palace.

But in Ba Xuan's eyes, this is simply the darkest devil's den in the world.

The soul of the Basashi howled as it fled.

"I thought that the owner of the Peony Dragon Pond was not a good person."

"I also thought that the Huai River God Wuzhiqi was from the same demon clan as us and had an ancient identity, so he is one of us."

"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it!"

"When one of their own people betrays another, they are truly evil-minded!"
-
In spring.

Ba Xuan and the monsters under his command, who were already busy, became even busier and had no time to rest even at night.

Whenever they arrived at a new place, they would be dispatched by the black-hearted Huai River God Wuzhiqi using the decree from the Heavenly Court to "incidentally" help them drill through mountains and dig canals, clear siltation, and drain floodwaters and dry up swamps.

Sometimes I can’t do it by myself and have to call other pythons to help.

In the end, the merit is not his.

Think about it, you will lose money no matter what you do.

At almost every meeting in the Haoli Divine Palace, Ba Xuan would loudly accuse all the other Ba snakes of the viciousness of Wuzhiqi, the god of the Huai River, and describe the Huai River Water Palace as being like the 800-li Lion Camel Ridge.

"This Huai River God Wuzhiqi is the most vicious demon in the world. Fortunately, he was suppressed by the Emperor of Heaven, otherwise..."

From then on, the God of Huai River, like the Lord of Peony Dragon Pond, was put on the blacklist of the Bashe clan.
