Just as everyone was busy preparing for the succession ceremony and happily preparing to welcome the new human ruler, bad news suddenly came. A clan soldier came to report," Princess Jingwa was playing by the East Sea. Unexpectedly, she was swept into the sea by the dragon clan. Her whereabouts are unknown. It's unknown if she's dead or alive!"”
Princess Jingwa was Shennong's favorite daughter, but now her whereabouts were unknown. How could Emperor Shennong not be heartbroken? A hero's tears are not easily talked about, but they have not reached the point of sadness; The Flame Emperor Shennong sighed with tears in his eyes." Girl, my child. It's my father's fault for being too busy with work to play with you." Even if he wanted to, it was too late.”Under this blow, even though Shen Nong had already attained the position of Celestial Immortal, he fell ill and the succession ceremony could only be postponed.
Shennong had a little daughter, named: Girl. Jingwa was petite and cute. She had a heart of justice and compassion. She often helped those who were in trouble. Therefore, everyone loved this kind-hearted little girl. Shennong loved her even more and regarded her as a treasure! Shennong was busy and had no time to take care of her. Jingwa left the tribe and headed east. The people along the way saw that she was lively and lovely, and she was the daughter of Shennong, so they also let her stay and gave her food.
The girl went all the way to the East Sea. It was sunrise. The Golden Crow rose from the east and shone on the entire sea. Sea geese circled in the sky, and countless immortal birds danced in the sun, singing loudly. From afar, a white line was rapidly approaching. It was a spectacular sight. Accompanied by the splashing sound of the waves, a wave hit Jingyu and instantly drowned her. When the wave receded, Jingyu stretched her small head out of the sea and shook the seawater on her head. Jingyu immediately cheered and dived into the sea to play. Her happy laughter spread far away.
At the beginning of the division of heaven and earth, there were countless scales, insects, beasts, and birds. The dragon was the leader of the scales, the qilin was the leader of the beasts, and the phoenix was the leader of the birds. The Divine Dragon Clan lived in the Four Seas. The Clan Leader of Dong Hai was also the true form of the Nine-clawed Golden Dragon, named Ao Guang. This Ao Guang had a youngest son called Ao Bing. Today, he was also swimming in the waves above the Eastern Sea.
Just as Jingwa was having fun, she saw a dragon suddenly appear from the sea. Jingwa did not know the danger and instead looked at the dragon race that she had never seen before with interest.
The dragon that had suddenly appeared was a little angry when he saw that Jinggirl was not afraid of him. He said,"You little kid, how dare you play by the sea? Don't you know that the sea is under the jurisdiction of our dragon race?" Also, why didn't you kneel when you saw this prince?”
Jingwa saw that this dragon who suddenly appeared was so unreasonable and said,""I am the daughter of the Human Emperor, and I only respect Goddess Nüwa and the Sagemaster. You are just a little dragon, so why should I kneel before you?”
When the dragon who suddenly appeared heard Jingwa's audacity, he couldn't help but be furious and said,""You little brat, how dare you be so rude to this prince. If I don't kill you today, it will be difficult to appease the anger in my heart.”
Dragons were born with the ability to control water and lightning, let alone a Nine-clawed Golden Dragon. Although Ao Bing had only revealed his true body in the sea, he had already stirred up monstrous waves above the East Sea, and layers of anger were spreading.
Who would have thought that Jingwa would suddenly be in such a state? Even if he knew that Jingwa was just a child, so what? A wave flashed past and Jingwa was swept into the sea. Jingwa, who had suddenly changed, was shocked and struggled repeatedly. However, even the strong man could not escape the layers of mountain-like waves. In just a moment, the girl lost her strength and was drowned by the surging sea water. Her limbs went limp and she sank to the bottom of the sea.
After the sea calmed down, there was no sign of Jingwa. The Third Prince laughed proudly and returned to the Crystal Palace with a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
Not long after the Third Prince left, a soul essence floated up from the sea. It was the soul of the girl. She turned around and looked in Chen Du's direction. She raised her head and let out a long neigh, but she couldn't make any sound. She tried her best to cry out, but it was useless. She suddenly felt resentful and soared into the sky. In an instant, she turned into a bird. It was shaped like a crow, with a head full of text, a white beak, and bare feet. It let out a cry of " Jingwei, Jingwei ", and its cry was mournful!
The Jingwei Bird flapped its wings and carried wood and stones between the West Mountain and the East Sea. It vowed to fill the East Sea, day after day, year after year, and never give up!
It was said that Shennong had returned from his three-year tour of the world. After returning, he was busy discussing human affairs with Xuanyuan. It was only now that the clan soldiers came to report that they heard that the girl had not returned for three years and could not be found anywhere. They were shocked.
Shen Nong had no choice but to drag his sick body to the Fire Cloud Cave outside the 33 Heavens and ask Heavenly Emperor Fuxi about Jingwa's whereabouts. Heavenly Emperor Fuxi was shocked as well and said to Shen Nong,""Follow me!" Without waiting for Shennong to say anything, the two of them rode the auspicious cloud and headed north. After a day's journey, they arrived in front of Mount Fajiu.
There were many dead trees on the mountain, and on one of them stood a bird that was crying out,"Jingwei, Jingwei". Perhaps it was because of his bloodline, Shen Nong burst into tears when he saw the Jingwei Bird. He hurried to the Jingwei Bird and shouted with a trembling voice,""Girl, is it you? I'm Imperial Father!"
The Jingwei Bird did not seem to hear anything and just flew towards the direction of the East Sea with the dead wood in its mouth. No matter how Shennong shouted behind him, there was no response!
Shen Nong stared blankly at Jingwei's back as he left. Two streams of tears fell silently. He turned around and asked Heavenly Emperor Fuxi,""Might I ask Imperial Brother, why did Jingwa become like this?”
Heavenly Emperor Fuxi sighed and said,""I went to the East Sea to play and didn't want to be drowned by the Third Prince of the Dragon King of the East Sea. After I died, I turned my soul essence into a guardian bird with resentment and vowed to fill up the East Sea!”
Shennong could no longer hold it in and burst into tears. His voice was mournful, and when he heard his tears, even Heavenly Emperor Fuxi felt depressed!
When Shennong saw his beloved daughter turning into Jingwei Bird, he was extremely sad. Heavenly Emperor Fuxi comforted him,""Shennong, you don't have to be like this. There is still a day when Jingwei will be able to escape. At that time, you and your daughter can reunite!”
"Is that true?" Shen Nong cried tears of joy.”
Heavenly Emperor Fuxi nodded and said,"Of course!" Do you know that the Dragon King of the East Sea ruled the four seas under the command of the sagemaster and his three brothers? Now, his son drowned Jingwa. You can follow us to Golden Ao Island to see the sagemaster. The sagemaster is merciful and will definitely help Jingwa escape!”
"If that's the case, I hope Imperial Brother can bring Shen Nong to Golden Ao Island to see Teacher!" Shen Nong said anxiously.”
Fuxi nodded and rode on the auspicious cloud, carrying Shennong towards Golden Ao Island.
After traveling for less than half a day, the two of them arrived at the East Sea and looked at the mist-shrouded Golden Ao Island from afar.
When he came closer, he saw a child looking around outside the island as if he was waiting for someone. This child was the Water and Fire Child, who sat under the High Pristine Saint Tongtian. The boy was delighted to see Fuxi and Shennong. He stepped forward and asked,""Are you Fuxi Sage Emperor and Shennong?”Although this boy's Dharmic powers were not high, his seniority was not low. He served in front of the Tongtian Sect Master's seat all day long, and even the third generation disciples of Jie School had to come forward and address him as Uncle-Master.
Fuxi replied," It's us. We're here to visit Saint Tongtian and the Sagemaster."”Shen Nong also stepped forward and called him Martial Uncle.
The Child of Water and Fire nodded." Master and Senior Brother are waiting in the main hall. Please follow me."”He took out a green jade pendant from his bosom and breathed out a breath of immortal energy at it. The jade pendant immediately emitted a green arc barrier to protect the three of them. The path was unimpeded. The array protecting the island actually did not have any effect on the three of them!
After passing through the array, he finally saw the true appearance of Golden Ao Island. The mountain peak was green, and the celestial light seemed to fill the surroundings of the mountain peak. The sky is full of rain, and colorful sparrows are dancing and singing on the branches. The spirit beasts were frolicking in the mountains, jumping on the golden bridge. All kinds of immortal herbs and spirit medicines could be seen everywhere, and immortal qi assailed the nose, making it abnormally intoxicating. Shennong was worried about Jingwa at this moment, so he was not in the mood to yearn for such a beautiful scenery. The Child of Water and Fire brought the two of them to the main hall of Golden Ao Island. From afar, they could see Sect Master Tongtian sitting on a cloud bed, ethereal and unpredictable! Daoist Myriad Treasures stood to the side.
The two of them did not dare to be negligent. They quickly quickened their pace and arrived in front of the Tongtian Sect Master. They respectfully said,"Greetings, Saint!" "Greetings, Patriarch and Master.”
Prime Tongtian nodded and said to Fuxi,""Sage Emperor, excuse the formalities." Later, he said to Shen Nong,"I already know about the matter of the girl. Please wait a moment. I will seek justice for you!"”Daoist Myriad Treasures nodded.
Shennong was overjoyed and thanked him again. He then stood up and waited anxiously.
In the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Ocean, was listening to Prime Minister Turtle's report. After the war between the three clans, Prime Minister Turtle had returned to the Dragon Clan and helped Ao Guang deal with all kinds of affairs. He had gradually gained Ao Guang's trust. After all the reports were done, Prime Minister Turtle's eyes sparkled. After a long while, he said to Ao Guang hesitantly,""Your Majesty, this subordinate still has one more thing to report.”
"Prime Minister Turtle, what's the matter?" Ao Guang was stunned.”
"Three years ago, the Third Prince drowned a human girl by the sea." According to my investigation, she was the beloved daughter of the Human Sovereign, Shennong.”
" Why are you only reporting this to me now?" Ao Guang asked angrily. Humph, this beast actually caused such a disaster today. Hurry up and find him!”
The Prime Minister did not dare to delay. He hurriedly left the hall and ordered someone to look for the Third Prince. Not long after, the Third Prince came to the main hall. Seeing Ao Guang's gloomy face, he felt uneasy. He stepped forward and asked carefully,""May I know why Father has called me here?”
" Pa!" Before the Third Prince could react, he was knocked to the ground by Ao Guang. There were five big fingerprints on his face, and half of his face was instantly red and swollen. Ao Guang angrily pointed at the Third Prince and shouted,""You vile creature, how dare you drown the daughter of the Human Sovereign? Why didn't you report to me immediately? Do you know that the Human Sovereign Shennong is a disciple of the Immortal Master of Golden Ao Island?”
The Third Prince's face turned pale in an instant. He was also a high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan, so he naturally knew the significance of Treasure Daoist to the Dragon Clan. Now that he had killed his grand-disciple with the water, how could he let him off so easily?
