Chapter 6 The Mother Tree
Since going to the Baicao Hall of Yongling Valley to meet Yao Baohua, Yao Qianqian's life has become extraordinarily regular, practicing at school during the day while following permission, and at night in the Baicao Hall to give birth to elixirs.
Three months have passed in a flash, and in these three months, her control of spiritual power has made great progress, although sometimes she still hurts the root of the elixir, but the spiritual power lost in the process of giving birth has been much less, which is undoubtedly a great joy for her who is still low in cultivation.
Yao Qianqian was called up by Zhu Xinyan before dawn every day, not for anything else, just for today's baptism. Baptism is very important to each of the five poisonous beasts, this is still a rule passed down by Yao Kaiyuan before his ascension, and its importance is no less than the rite of passage.
After Yao Kaiyuan ascended, the descendants changed the day of baptism to June 28, in order to let the juniors in the clan not forget the birthday of the ancestors while accepting the shadow of the ancestors.
Yao Qianqian rubbed her misty eyes and let Zhu Xinyan put a skirt on her body.
Skirt? When did the Five Poison Beasts start to dress when they didn't use the Incarnation Technique?
Zhu Xinyan saw Yao Qianqian's doubts, touched her head and said: "This is a nine-colored feather coat, which is woven using the feathers of more than 100 varieties of birds of nine colors, and the most precious one is the feather of the ancient fire phoenix, which is still left by our ancestors, and now there is not much left." If it weren't for the fact that you are the descendant of the Yao family and have excellent talent, your grandfather would not have taken out such a precious thing. ”
Yao Qianqian blinked her eyes, this good thing was originally given by her grandfather, and she had to give birth to the elixir in the future, and repay him for the old man.
She was thinking about repaying in her mind, but she heard Zhu Xinyan talk about the magic of the feather.
"According to legend, this feather was taken from the corpse of the fire phoenix during the tribulation period, and this fire phoenix was only one step away from reaching the Mahayana stage of ascension, but because of his impatience, he gave the demon a chance to take advantage of it, and his mind was lost in the world, and finally died under the sword of the ancestor. Although he was dead, his feathers were tougher and more defensive than any rare metal, and even if he didn't practice, he could block the full force of the Yuan Infant Cultivator. And if the fire phoenix bloodline in the feather is activated during the baptism, it will be able to command the birds. ”
"This feather is here now." Zhu Xinyan pointed to Yao Qianqian's chest and said slowly.
Yao Qianqian looked down at the faintly red feather on her chest, and felt a little desolate in her heart, the owner of this feather must have been a heroic man who was enough to shock all directions when he was alive, but after his death, he fell into such a field, so what about himself? How far can I go on the road of cultivating immortals?
For a while, Yao Qianqian only felt that her chest was clogged.
"It's going to be faster, there's no tanuki to pick it up, and it takes about an hour just to fly over." Yao Yanqi knocked on the door, but did not come in.
Yao Qianqian is not a worrying person, she quickly cleaned up her mood and happily pulled Zhu Xinyan's hand downstairs.
When I went out, I saw the five poisonous beasts flying down from the Gathering Spirit Divine Tree one after another, and they all flew south, the most sacred place in everyone's hearts.
Yao Qianqian hadn't tried to fly for such a long time, she rested several times on the way, and when she arrived in front of the mother tree, she found that most of the people had arrived, and the sky was densely packed with five poisonous beasts. On the ground, two rows of crested ibises stand neatly, their heads held high, and their spirits are vivid. In front of them is neatly placed a row of Tieli trumpet flowers, the size of these flowers can be roughly judged to be more than five thousand years old, I don't know who is so idle to give birth to this kind of spirit flower that is not very useful.
When the time came, a rabbit jumped out from behind the tree, turned his back and turned out a flag from the thick fur on his back, and shook it vigorously to reveal the flag with a yellow heart and blue border inside.
As soon as the flag was unfurled, the crested ibis blew the Tieli trumpet flower, and the voice was a little low, but it looked very solemn.
"Please lead the Void Dream."
The refreshing fragrance comes from all directions, I don't know what kind of incense I lit, it smells so good, and it has the effect of calming the mind. Suddenly, a gust of wind arose, rolling the fallen petals from the ground into the air, forming an aerial path slightly wider than a four-wheeled carriage. Immediately afterwards, the patriarch came slowly in a carriage drawn by four unicorns, and what he held in his hand was the Void Heaven Dream Guide-Yao Kaiyuan took the branches of the mother tree back then, and sacrificed the scepter for thousands of years.
"Come down, kids." Patriarch Pei Mengchen held high the Void Heavenly Dream and led the whole clan of the Five Poisonous Beasts.
Yao Qianqian involuntarily landed in front of Pei Mengchen, allowing the light triggered by the Void Sky Dream to shine on her body. She turned her head to look at her fellow friends who were also wearing nine-colored feather coats, and saw that their faces all had a light of pride and reverence. She was immediately infected, and for the first time, she felt that it was actually quite good to be a Five Poisonous Beast.
Pei Mengchen clenched the Void Heavenly Dream with both hands and released it to his chest, and a series of strange notes came out of his mouth, although there were very few people who could understand it, as long as those who heard it had different perceptions.
Yao Qianqian knew that he was using the ancient language of the Five Poisonous Beasts at this time, the ancient language was obscure, and there were not many people in the clan who understood it, in order to protect the ancient language, an unwritten rule was formed in the Five Poisonous Beast Clan, and all candidates for patriarch and elder must understand the ancient language.
The branches of the mother tree moved, and then slowly stretched out and touched Pei Qianhuo's eyebrows, the feathers on Pei Qianhuo's nine-colored feather coat were windless and automatic, and the feathers of four colors on the feather coat gradually faded until they disappeared, and after a while, the color of one feather faded into a foil for the other four colors.
Pei Mengchen nodded, seemingly satisfied with this result.
This time, the little five poisonous beasts who were baptized were all eager to try, and their faces showed excitement, even Yao Qianqian was no exception, this is an immortal cultivator, I have encountered so many interesting and magical things in the Qi cultivation period, what kind of situation would it be if I ascended to the immortal realm in the Mahayana period?
At this time, Pei Qianhuo had a different feeling from everyone, he only felt that the whole world was a little brighter, his thinking seemed to have become more agile, and even his strength had become much greater, this feeling was really wonderful.
Not long after, a foul smell came from Pei Qianhuo's body, and some slimy liquid oozed out of his body and flowed down his legs to the ground.
Yao Qianqian was embarrassed by this scene, she was a girl, and she felt a lot of pressure to cut her hair and wash her marrow in front of so many people......
Yao Qianqian didn't finish sighing, she found something strange, only to see the soil under Pei Qianhuo's feet squirm and sink the dirt into the ground, and at the same time, a part of the clean soil turned into granules and flew up, and then closely fit Pei Qianhuo's skin, and after a cup of tea, the earth returned to calm, and the smell on Pei Qianhuo's body disappeared and was replaced by a refreshing aroma.
"Our five poisonous beasts are neither demons nor immortals, which means that we have two paths to choose, one is to become a big demon, and the other is to become an immortal. Today's baptism is to wash out the mortal impurities in your body, so that it will be easier for you to have an immortal body in the future. ”
After a while, the branches of the mother tree left Pei Qianhuo and turned to the next Five Poisonous Beast.
The mother tree chooses the order of the baptism objects by herself, Pei Qianhuo's talent is good, and Yao Qianqian, the first to choose him, can still accept it, but why hasn't it been her turn to baptize seven or eight five poisonous beasts in a row, isn't it sorted by talent?
More than an hour later, when Yao Qianqian's legs were standing stiff, the branch of the mother tree finally moved in front of her, but the branch refused to fall on her body, as if she was hesitating about something.
This has never happened before!
Zhu Xinyan suddenly panicked, and was about to land immediately, fortunately, Yao Yanqi was quick, otherwise Zhu Xinyan would have done something very inappropriate.
After seeing the baptism of so many people, Yao Qianqian naturally noticed the difference between the mother tree and her, and she suddenly realized a very serious problem, she is actually not a real five poisonous beast, her soul is an out-and-out human soul, and now the mother tree should not be a part-time job, right?!
Yao Qianqian kept cheering herself up, not afraid or afraid, her parents are here, and she won't watch her have an accident.
Just when Yao Qianqian's heart was getting more and more bottomless, a sudden change occurred, all the petals of the mother tree turned blood-red, and the leaves withered and separated from the branches in an instant, and in an instant, the mother tree was like blood-stained, and a gust of wind brought up a blood-colored petal flying in the air, and the sky was reflected blood-red for a while.
Pei Mengchen's face changed greatly, he had never encountered this situation in thousands of years of baptism, as the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, he decisively decided to interrupt this baptism, but before his words were spoken, the mother tree had a new change.
I saw a brown seed detached from the mother tree and floated towards Yao Qianqian wrapped in a green bubble.
She just wanted to move but found that she couldn't move, and was forced to bow by the mother tree overlord, saying that she was not afraid that it would be bragging.
The speed at which the seeds floated seemed to be very slow, but in fact they were very fast, but in a few breaths, they floated in front of Yao Qianqian, and the green light disappeared in a flash.
At the same time as the seed disappeared, Yao Qianqian only felt a sharp pain in her head, as if something was about to crack, she covered her head with both hands, and rolled on the ground in pain, at this time she had no intention of studying when she regained her mobility.
"Someone." Pei Mengchen shouted, a little angry with the people in the clan, it was really a long time to be comfortable, his alertness became low, he had no ability to adapt at all, and he was stupid when he saw something happen to his juniors, and no one came down to help.
The patriarch spoke, Yao Yanqi pulled Zhu Xinyan and landed together, Zhu Xinyan hugged Yao Qianqian in his arms, only to find that Yao Qianqian had fainted.
"Patriarch, Qianqian, she has fainted."
"Quick, take her to your Aunt Qiu."
Qiu Zhen is the seventh elder of the Five Poison Beast Clan, specializing in medical skills, and is in the Immortal Hospital of the Jacaranda Forest Sea at this time.
Zhu Xinyan was concerned about it, and she panicked for a while, but Yao Yanqi took Yao Qianqian from her hand and flew towards the periphery.
"It has been 7,534 years since the ancestor opened up the Five Poison Beast Realm, and this has never happened, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a bad omen, let's pray as usual, I believe the mother tree will give us the answer."
Pei Mengchen's calm voice came into the ears of each of the five poisonous beasts, and the five poisonous beasts gradually calmed down, they believed that the ancestor provided them with the most stable and peaceful living environment, and there would be no danger, and the scene gradually returned to an orderly state.
