Volume 2 Plane Battle, Chapter 251: The Immortal Fruit of Shadow Mountain
For all the gods and demons who have cultivated the Dao, it is obviously a very thorny problem, and the slightest carelessness will lead to ashes! Cultivating the Dao for hundreds of thousands of years will be in vain. The reason why countless demons and monsters can't become immortals may be planted on this link!
Murong Feixue said: Thank you Ge Lao for your explanation! Feixue will definitely remember Ge Lao's teachings today, and will study hard in the future, and strive to become an immortal as soon as possible.
Yang Zhuochao joked next to him: I used to hear that as long as you eat that kind of elixir and fairy fruit, you can directly soar and become an immortal. Feixue might as well find something to eat, and it won't have to be so hard.....!
Ge Lao shook his head and sighed: "The young master doesn't know anything, and this elixir and immortal fruit can't be eaten indiscriminately! If you are not careful, you will make a mistake, and at least you will let your cultivation work be wasted! At worst, you will also worry about your life..... It's really worth the loss!
Of course, if it is already an official achievement of the immortal family, then it is a different matter. I'll give you another allusion to eating fairy fruits, and you'll understand why I said that.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a mountain in Huanyu Huaxia called Shadow Mountain. The Shadow Mountains are steep and steep, with many cliffs and cliffs!
And among them, there are miasma poisonous insects, poisonous snakes and beasts, hidden in the mountains and forests! Therefore, no one dares to go deeper, only on the periphery of the mountain, there are some woodcutters chopping wood, and those who can go deep are only some medicine farmers who collect medicine!
One day, a medicine farmer named "Ma Wu" was collecting medicine in the mountains, and suddenly saw a team of people in front of him, everyone was wearing armor and holding swords, well-equipped, and one of the leaders in front walked up to Ma Wu and asked: "This brother, dare to ask if you are familiar with the mountain roads here?"
Ma Wu only thinks that they are lost in the mountains and wants to ask for a shortcut down the mountain. He replied: "I have often gone up the mountain to cut wood since I was a child, and I am most familiar with the mountain road here! If you want to go down the mountain, just go forward, and when you come across a boulder, turn right, and you will be on the way down." ”
Unexpectedly, the leader smiled and said, "Brother Tai misunderstood, we don't want to go down the mountain, but want to ask you to take us to the "Death Valley". ”
Ma Wu was taken aback when he heard this, and said in his heart: "That Death Valley is in the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, not to mention all kinds of terrifying rumors about Death Valley, the dangers encountered on the way alone are enough to make people die. ”
Ma Wu shook his head again and again and said, "If it is on the periphery of this mountain, I can still help you, but the Valley of Death is in the depths of those ten thousand mountains, and there must be many dangers on the way! ”
The leader sneered and said: "Brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I also know that the way to Death Valley must be extremely dangerous, so I must not treat you badly, here are ten taels of silver, if you agree, this silver is yours." ”
Ma Wu said in his heart: "Although ten taels of silver is a lot, it is not worth exchanging for your life! Besides, I still have an old mother at home, what if I have an accident with my old mother?"
Ma Wu flatly refused: "It's not about money, go to the Valley of Death and die for a lifetime! I still have my mother at home, but I don't dare to earn this life-threatening money." Besides, it is rumored that there is a python basilisk in Death Valley, so why do you need to send it to death?"
The leader did not answer, but pondered for a while, and said, "One hundred taels of silver, would you like to take us there?"
When Ma Wu heard this, his heart stirred! One hundred taels of silver was enough for himself and his mother to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life! His mother liked to eat roast duck the most, but because her family was poor, she had not been able to buy it for her mother for a long time, and with this silver, she could let her mother eat enough.
"Okay, I'll take you there. Ma Wu gritted his teeth and made up his mind and said, "It's just that I haven't been there before, I only know the general direction." If you can't get to Death Valley, don't blame me. The leader nodded in agreement.
Ma Wu first returned home and told his mother that he was going out for a few days, so that his mother would not have to worry. Then he returned to the mountain and led the people to the depths of the mountains. On the way, I heard them talking, and learned that everyone had come to find the life-sustaining immortal fruit for the son of the current dynasty.
The son of Xiangguo was seriously ill and in danger! This team of people was originally the old department of the previous dynasty, but after the change of dynasty, they became rogues. I don't know how to learn about the rumors about the Death Valley, knowing that there is a life-sustaining fairy fruit in the valley, and eating it can increase longevity, so I want to get the fairy fruit in exchange for a lot of money.
Ma Wu led everyone forward, and after walking for a few hours, he encountered many jackals, tigers, leopards, and other fierce beasts on the way, all of which were shot and killed! Seeing that it was getting late, everyone rested on the spot. Bury the pot and cook the meal, and then leave one person to keep vigil. And they slept in their clothes, and on the second day before dawn they got up and went on their way again.
In this way, he marched deep into the mountains for three days and three nights, and encountered more and more fierce beasts on the way! The colorful giant tiger was also as huge as an ox, and its strength was infinite! The highly poisonous python could spit out poisonous mist, and if it touched it, it would die! and the miasma of poisonous insects could also hurt people. There were many casualties, but there was still no trace of Death Valley!
Ma Wu wondered if he had taken the wrong path, and if that was the case, he was afraid that those people would definitely not be able to spare him.
Ma Wu was apprehensive in his heart, and walked forward with everyone for a few more hours, and suddenly saw a valley in front of him, with birds singing and flowers in the valley, and countless rare and exotic grasses, which was the Valley of Death.
Everyone was overjoyed! Entering the valley, smelling the flowers, and looking at the beautiful scenery, there was not the slightest breath of death! Everyone said that the name of the valley of death did not live up to its true name, and they walked towards the depths of the valley.
Unexpectedly, the more I walked, the more desolate it became, the grass withered, and the trees were gloomy. There were quite a few dead animal carcasses on the ground, revealing the white bones of the forest, which was very terrifying!
Everyone was terrified, but they still walked forward. After walking for about half an hour, I suddenly saw a tree in front of me, although the tree was not high, it was full of green, and it was incompatible with the bleak scene around it! There were more than 10 fruits on the tree, all of them red and transparent, and there was a faint red brilliance like fire circulating in it.
Everyone was very happy, and they were sure that this must be a fairy fruit! Just as they were about to go up to the tree to pick it, they suddenly heard a hissing sound behind them; when everyone looked back, they were immediately frightened! Behind them there was a giant python, which was five or six zhang long, with two snake heads, hissing and spitting snake letters, and two pairs of snake eyes glaring angrily at everyone.
Everyone was terrified to death, and kept retreating! The giant python pressed forward step by step, and suddenly it burst out, and the two snake heads spat out frost and fire from each other! Everyone was defeated, or they were frozen into ice, or they were buried in the fire, and countless casualties were killed and injured in an instant.
I saw that the leader was in danger, but he ordered everyone to retreat, and then shot with a giant crossbow. Unexpectedly, the giant python was covered in scales, and it was invulnerable! The giant crossbow could not shoot it.
Seeing this, the leader snatched a giant crossbow, approached the giant python, jumped up sharply, and shot at one of the python's snake eyes. Then I saw that the arrow pierced the snake's eye and pierced the snake's head, so the snake's head hung down weakly.
The python lost one head and rolled on the ground in pain. The leader drew his sword and seized the moment to stab him with a serpent on the other head. The knife went half a foot into the snake's head, and blood splattered on the spot!
The rest of the people cheered and jumped for joy, and after this battle, the rest of the people were less than one in ten! The leader ordered the people to quickly pick the fairy fruit, and then fled from this place.
On the way back, he encountered a fierce beast and lost a few people. After all the hard work, they finally returned to the safety of the outer part of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and opened the bag wrapped in the fairy fruit, and the number of the leaders counted, there were a total of thirteen fairy fruits, except for one for the son of Xiangguo, and the people present were exactly one for each person.
The leader picked up a fairy fruit and handed it to Ma Wu, "Eat it!" said the leader.
Ma Wu was quite surprised, he didn't expect that the leader would be willing to give him a priceless immortal fruit! He picked up the immortal fruit, ate it three times and divided five by two, and suddenly felt a warm current in his abdomen, flowing all over his body! The whole body was comfortable, and his body was as light as a swallow, as if he was many years younger.
"How do you feel?" asked the leader.
"I feel comfortable all over my body, and all kinds of diseases have dissipated, it is indeed a fairy fruit!" Ma Wu replied.
"Yes, that's good. With that, the leader drew his knife and slashed at Ma Wu. Ma Wu fell in a pool of blood after being stabbed, and before he lost consciousness, he heard a person ask the leader: "Big brother, why do you want to kill him?"
The leader replied, "If you don't kill him, will you pay him a commission?"
The man asked again, "Then why did the eldest brother give him a fairy fruit?"
The leader said: "It's just to see if it's an immortal fruit, after all, you and I have never seen an immortal fruit, and if this fruit that grows in that strange place is poisonous, wouldn't it harm us." ”
When Ma Wu heard this, he finally lost consciousness. By the time I woke up, it was the second day. Ma Wu got up, the knife wound on his chest was faintly painful, the knife wound was very deep, it was said that it was impossible to survive! It must be that the immortal fruit had strengthened his recovery ability! Ma Wu said in his heart.
Ma Wu struggled to get up and just wanted to go down the mountain, but saw a few ashes on the ground. There was also a package next to the ashes, and when I picked it up, there was a fairy fruit in the package! What was going on? Why did the group leave a fairy fruit?
Although Ma Wu was puzzled, he still took the fairy fruit down the mountain. After returning home to recuperate for a few days, the knife wound on his chest is no longer a big problem! However, Ma Wu's heart has been quite entangled in the past few days, he originally wanted to give this fairy fruit to his mother to eat, but the ghost reminded him of the law of Xiangguo's heavy reward to continue his life.
Ma Wu fought between heaven and man in his heart, and finally came to Xiangguo Mansion with the immortal fruit. Ma Wu comforted himself and said: "With Wanguan's family wealth, I can better honor my mother, and my mother will definitely understand me!"
Xiangguo heard that someone could save his son, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite Ma Wu into the house, and Ma Wu saw that Xiang Guo's son, lying on the bed, was dying!
He hurriedly offered the fairy fruit, and the servant fed the fairy fruit to the son of Xiangguo, and Xiangguo waited for a miracle to happen!
The fire could not be extinguished, and in an instant, the son of Xiangguo was burned to a puddle of ashes! Seeing that his son was burned to ashes, Xiangguo was so angry that he fainted to death! Ma Wu was immediately beaten with 50 boards, put him in prison, and then sent to the ground. Ma Wu said in his heart, my life is resting!
However, three days later, Ma Wu was released. After coming out, I realized that the Xiangguo was in a hurry that day, causing him to be ill!
In the past, the Xiangguo was arrogant and domineering in the court, bullying good ministers, and wantonly amassing wealth. And there are many enemies, and the ministers take this opportunity to impeach Xiangguo. Xiangguo was deposed and punished according to the crime, and this Ma Wu was released in a daze!
It's just that he still doesn't understand why he didn't have any harm in eating the longevity-increasing immortal fruit, but he also benefited a lot. But he killed the son of Xiangguo! It wasn't until one day that I overheard an old man chatting with others and talked about the fairy fruit!
The old man said, "You all know that there are immortal fruits in the valley of death that increase people's longevity, but you don't know that the immortal fruit is also called "karmic fruit"; if a good person eats it, he will get a good reward and increase his life! But if a wicked person eats it, it will cause karmic fire in the body, and he will die in an instant."
My father was seriously ill, but he went to the Valley of Death to pick the fairy fruit and saved my father! ”
After hearing this, Ma Wu sighed! In the past, he was kind-hearted and honored his mother, so that he could eat the fairy fruit and increase his life. It's just that later, greed arose, but he almost died. It is true that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil!
