Chapter 199 - 181, Fu Xi Becomes an Apprentice
Huaxu led Fu Xi through the forest, arriving at Thunder Marsh, a long narrow passage before them.
Fu Xi exclaimed in surprise, "This is the Thunder Marsh." He looked up at Huaxu and said, "Mother, the people in our clan said that this place should not be approached."
"Let’s go! The person I’m taking you to see is inside."
Huaxu led Fu Xi into the narrow passage. As they passed through, the view suddenly opened up to a shaded grove with birds and beasts in motion, among which sat an oddly flat palatial structure, with three figures standing before it, one man and two women.
Huaxu quickly approached with Fu Xi and respectfully bowed, "Huaxu pays her respects to the Holy Envoy."
Fu Xi also bowed following her lead, his young voice saying, "Fu Xi pays his respects to the Holy Envoy." Although he did not know what a Holy Envoy was, following his mother’s actions must surely be right.
An idea suddenly flashed through Bai Jin’s mind, if this scene could be recorded and shown to Fu Xi when he has completed his merit and is presiding over the Fire Cloud Cave, wouldn’t it be quite a shock? Nevermind, better not tempt fate, whether he’d find it shocking I do not know, but I’m sure I would find it very much so.
Bai Jin smiled and said, "Rise."
Huaxu and Fu Xi stood up, with Fu Xi curiously stealing glances at Bai Jin, thinking how strange his clothes were—they were certainly not made of animal hide.
Bai Jin looked at Fu Xi and gently asked, "Fu Xi, would you like to take me as your master?"
