Chapter 37: Zheng Zhiyuan
At this time, the mountain shook for a while, and there was a violent roar in the bamboo forest, and the special cry of the bamboo demon suddenly sounded, and the surrounding green bamboos quickly retreated towards the place where the cry came. Luo Wei and Mu Hanyan looked happy, and they both ran towards the place where the cold light burst out.
I saw Liu Yiyi, who was dressed in red, manipulating Yu Ruyi to send out colorful petals, chic between the layers of green bamboo, and easily dissolving the pieces of glittering bamboo leaves one by one. The senior brother leaned left and levitated in the air, holding a blue and white spirit sword, and the power of the sword light caused Cuizhu not to dare to approach, but just surrounded him to the left.
Leaning to the left, he didn't attack, just stared at the back of the bamboo forest with a happy face. Luo Wei looked at her left-leaning gaze, almost not screaming. I saw that between the greenery of the mountain, a crystal white bamboo as white as jade, as thick as a person's arms, stood proudly, and there was a large half-human-long half-covered and half-closed jade shoot at the root. The body exudes a special aroma that makes people smell and intoxicate, like the aroma of green leaves and earth on the hillside after rain, but mixed with the refreshing smell of bamboo leaves.
Mu Hanyan was also stunned, and said uncertainly: "Xiao Weiwei, this is not the fairy bamboo white snow!! ”
Luo Wei's eyes were full of disbelief, she almost memorized all the information of the demon beast elixir in the immortal cultivation world, and the information of this fairy bamboo was naturally among them, the fairy bamboo white snow, a rare fairy plant, the information was very small, 10,000 years ago, the jade face man held a jade flute made of a fairy bamboo branch to cultivate the fairy world, because the fairy bamboo white snow was famous all over the world.
The information is very short: fairy bamboo, ancient plants, white as jade, no leaves around, three zhang high, a total of five main trunks. During the ripening period, a radius of 100 miles can be turned into a bamboo forest. The main trunk can be used to make a special magic weapon, with a small amount of bodily fluids in it, and the role is unknown [rumored to heal the dead, medicine white bones] and the accompanying spirit beast is unknown.
Senior Brother and Liu Yiyi had already seen the two of them appear, and immediately stood side by side, and the green bamboos no longer attacked, but surrounded the jade bamboos, and all the branches and leaves were facing Luowei, showing their own defensive intentions at a glance.
The senior brother smiled: "Yan'er, you are right, this is Xianzhu Baixue!" I didn't expect to see the true body of Xianzhu here, if you get a branch, it will not be in vain to come out and go this way! ”
Mu Hanyan naturally heard the legend of the jade-faced man, the jade flute resisted and killed countless enemies, coupled with the fairy-like appearance of the jade-faced person, he was the most desirable among the monks who left a name in the previous immortal cultivation world. couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for!" Senior brother, hurry up, there are five sections here, let's take it back to Daddy after we give it points! ”
Everyone was amused by Mu Hanyan's greedy appearance, and the senior brother was also in a good mood and said funny: "Yan'er, Wei'er, you two look at it, look at the heroic appearance of the senior brother!" ”
With a straight finger, the Qingbai Spirit Sword buzzed, and the sword light with a domineering aura rose to the sky, and suddenly dispersed, and the surrounding green bamboos were torn apart by the shock of this blow, but the jade bamboo in the middle was not injured at all. Luo Wei couldn't help but admire, the control of this spiritual power is so appropriate, it really deserves to be a senior brother.
But I saw that the jade-colored aura around the fairy bamboo appeared, crystal clear, and even the lines of the bamboo body seemed to be clearly visible. The green bamboo, which had been broken inch by inch just now, rose from the ground at an alarming speed, protecting the immortal bamboo layer by layer again. The senior brother leaned left and chuckled, and the sword light around the Qingbai Spirit Sword burst out again, but this time, it was a real spatial shock, and in the blink of an eye, the green bamboo that had just grown was completely destroyed.
Without waiting for the immortal bamboo to spawn again, he leaned left and bullied up, and on the top of the green and white spirit sword, a dazzling light was condensed, and it slashed straight towards the root of the immortal bamboo! At the time of crisis, the immortal bamboo bloomed with a strong crystal light film, although it blocked the sword qi for a moment, it dissipated in a blink of an eye.
Just as everyone was overjoyed, expecting that the fairy bamboo was about to be cut down, a transparent figure suddenly flashed between the fairy bamboo and the sword light, and hugged the fairy bamboo with his back, and a male voice full of fear shouted: "Don't! ”
The senior brother tilted his eyes to the left and showed surprise, there was someone hiding under his nose and not noticing! I didn't have time to think about it, just at this critical moment, Shengsheng staggered the sword qi by a point, and passed by the immortal bamboo, only to see a deep pit several meters long appear at the root of the immortal bamboo!
When it happened suddenly, everyone was shocked. Liu Yiyi's steps moved slightly, holding the jade Ruyi like inadvertently protecting Luo Wei and Mu Hanyan behind him. Like Zuo Lean, he hadn't noticed that there was anyone hiding nearby, and after glancing at Zuo Lean, he looked at the figure vigilantly.
The figure was vague, without the shadow of a human with facial features, and although it was humanoid, it did not look like a human. Seeing that everyone stopped attacking, they stood up and made a gesture of turning and bowing, and their voices came erratically: "Thank you for your mercy." ”
Rao is left-leaning is considered to be well-informed among the four people, but he has never seen such a situation, and he is still well-cultivated and does not show a different color, and he salutes back: "You're polite!" In the Lower Flame Sect, he leaned to the left, and brought his fellow disciples to practice here, but he didn't know the name of Youzun? ”
Although the figure was saluting, it could also see its guard. Unexpectedly, after hearing the words of the left, he danced excitedly, and his figure swayed a little and almost couldn't keep his human form, and said incoherently: "The Flame Sect is tilted left? Are you the elder brother of Qingxin Peak? ”
After that, he made a gesture of carefully looking at everyone's appearance, and after seeing Liu Yiyi, he nodded violently and said, "That's right, I know you, you are Senior Brother Liu of Baicao Peak!" Are you here for me? Did Master tell you to come to me? ”
Everyone was puzzled and looked at Liu Yiyi. Liu Yiyi took out the jade fan with a proud face, and said after posing for a long time: "Don't look at me, there are more people who know me, how do I know who he is!" ”
The three of them were suddenly almost fainted by Liu Yiyi's shameless remarks! Luo Wei seemed to think of something, and said cautiously: "Mo Fei, are you Senior Brother Zheng Zhiyuan Zheng?" ”
I saw that the figure stretched out his hands and excitedly wanted to step forward to hold Luo Wei, but he was forced by the spirit sword of the senior brother leaning left and did not dare to approach, and choked up anxiously: "It's me!" I am Zheng Zhiyuan! ”
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere present changed greatly, and everyone looked at the vague figure of this figure in amazement, Rao is mouth opened wide in surprise as he had already guessed it. Zuo Leaned put down the spirit sword in his hand, and although he no longer pointed at him, he did not relax his vigilance and said: "How can you prove that you are Zheng Zhiyuan, and the disciple token can be on your body?" ”
The figure instantly entered the jade shoot at the root of the immortal bamboo and took out a storage bag to show everyone: "What is there, what is in the storage bag!" It's just that I'm like this now, and I can't open the storage bag anymore. ”
Everyone was taken aback by his actions, and the senior brother leaned left and waved the spirit sword again, and shouted expressionlessly: "What the hell are you!" Zheng Zhiyuan is from a human background, how can he become like you! If you don't tell the truth, I have reason to suspect that you are some kind of demon who killed Senior Brother Zheng and obtained his storage bag, and I will kill you here to avenge Senior Brother Zheng! “
The figure was stunned for a moment, then sat down slowly and raised his hand to gently stroke it by leaning on the fairy bamboo, the fairy bamboo emitted a slight light as if responding to him, and then said with a sense of loneliness and despair: "Actually, I also want to know what I am." ”
As the figure spoke, everyone present was shocked again.
Zheng Zhiyuan's mother, Zheng Xiu'er, was an ordinary villager in Qingyan Town, and at the age of 16, she married Orion who hunted in the mountains for a living. A hundred years ago, these mountains were not completely covered by bamboo forests, and Orion's home was on the edge of the bamboo forest. One day, Orion went up the mountain to hunt and did not return for a long time, and Zheng Xiuer did not come back until dawn after going out to look for it.
Orion's elderly mother was worried and asked the villagers in the town to search, and finally found the injured and unconscious Orion under a rock pile, but Zheng Xiuer was nowhere to be found. When everyone thought that Zheng Xiuer had encountered an accident, Zheng Xiuer returned home intact three days later, facing the worried Orion family, Zheng Xiuer said that she just slept under a white bamboo in the mountains, and she didn't know that three days had passed.
Two days later, Zheng Xiuer was found to be pregnant, and ten months later, she gave birth to a son under the careful care of Orion's family, but she scared Orion's mother to death on the spot, and Orion ran down the mountain and never dared to go back.
Zheng Xiuer gave birth to a bamboo shoot, she endured the horror and peeled off the layers of outer leaves of the bamboo shoot, and a delicate and cute fat doll was sleeping soundly.
"The child in that bamboo shoot is me." The figure said with a little self-deprecation: "My mother was weak after giving birth, and the food at home was slowly eaten up. The people at the foot of the mountain regarded my mother and me like poisonous snakes and beasts, and refused to sell even a grain of rice to my mother. At that time, I was already dying of hunger, and my mother was naturally dying, so she used her last strength to take me up the mountain and find this fairy bamboo. Xianzhu opened her body and flowed out a liquid like rice milk, and my mother got better after drinking it, and I survived. ”
"But Mother is just an ordinary mortal, and she loves me and fears me. All this was too shocking, and the villagers in the town often spit on her mother across the woods, she couldn't bear it at all, and gradually collapsed. After Xianzhu turned several mountains into bamboo forests, the villagers did not dare to go up the mountain, but the mother could not face all this, and often suddenly cried and kicked at Xianzhu. Xianzhu has never resisted, only when my mother is delirious and beats and scolds me, will she control the bamboo to pick me up and avoid her. ”
Everyone was silent, Luo Wei looked at the white and flawless jade bamboo, and really couldn't imagine how it made a mortal pregnant and gave birth to a child. In the world of cultivating immortals, there are things where humans and demon beasts combine to give birth to offspring, but they are all demon beasts in the transformation stage, which is equivalent to the late cultivation of the Yuan Infant among the monks, and it is no different from humans.
No matter how you look at this immortal bamboo, it is only its own extraordinary quality, and its cultivation is far from reaching the stage of being able to transform into shapes, and it can't even block a left-leaning blow. Could it be that this is the extraordinary thing about fairy bamboo?
