434, the Holy Family Gate, Gongye meets the South Palace

Cheng Tianle walked into this unpruned old plum forest, he was in a very good mood, the snakeberries growing in the whole Zhongshan have many variations, and this place is the most obvious, and the early summer medicine should first come here. In addition to being happy, he also pulled out the withered yellow grass plants and studied them in his hands, and unfolded his divine sense to investigate its unique physical properties, and just walked along the hill to pull the weeds all the way.

As he walked, Zi Hao suddenly shouted in the Yuan Shen: "Senior brother, why do I feel that something is wrong, I always feel that someone is watching us?" ”

Cheng Tianle also stopped and looked around, he had already started the Yuanshen exterior practice while walking, and it was said that the abnormal movements within a radius of one mile should be sensed clearly, but he didn't find anything. After Zi Hao reminded him like this, he seemed to feel as if he was being watched by someone, and this feeling was not secretly 434, the Holy Family Gate, and Gongye was snooped on by Nangong, just like someone staring at you with wide eyes.

It's not that someone is really standing next to him and staring at him, Cheng Tianle and Zi Hao are practicing demon cultivation techniques, as if there is also a particularly keen instinct and intuition of animals in the mountains. But at this moment, this intuition seemed to have gone wrong, and there was nothing abnormal around, Cheng Tianle shook his head and said: "This feeling is strange, not dangerous, but it seems to be dissatisfied." It seems that this place is indeed very special, anyway, there is no red flame fruit to pick at the moment, so let's not wander around, let's go find the monkey fruit again. ”

Cheng Tianle and Zi Hao didn't know that behind the ochre-red mountain wall not far away, another spatial scene was presented in a way that ordinary people couldn't understand. There is a one-zhang wide road, paved with fine five-colored soil, and on both sides are not tall but very luxuriant plum trees. This tree-shaded long road extends back from the mountain wall to a hundred meters, and comes to the gate of a manor, the vermilion gate, the yellow and clear door nails, the door is inlaid with a delicate beast-swallowing gold ring, and there is a plaque in the center of the gatehouse, on which the book "plum blossom holy realm" four big characters.

Here is a small Kunlun enchantment cave, larger than the Taihang Cave and Lianyun Secret Realm that Cheng Tianle has been to, and the villa and the surrounding gardens are more than two miles in radius. In that 434, Shengjiamen, a hall of Gongye Yunangong Ancient Manor, there is a marble slab with a diameter of more than one meter, on which are naturally formed landscapes, plum blossoms, and flowing cloud patterns.

At this time, the pattern on the marble slab was hidden due to some kind of mana, and it actually showed a picture like a screen, which was the situation of Cheng Tianle pulling weeds in the woods. There was a girl in a white robe who was standing in front of the marble slab and frowned: "What kind of person is this, if you are bold, it is too exaggerated, who can run to the door of my Plum Blossom Holy Realm to deliberately pull weeds?" ”

Another beautiful and dignified woman beside her replied: "I know this person, not long ago I came to Wucheng Zhiwei Tower to see the Lord of the Shi League, holding the immortal guidance signboard of the Wind Master Ancestor, and the three dreams of the Lord of the Shi League incarnated thousands of miles and immediately rushed back. …… He is Gusu Cheng Tianle, Senior Sister Mei should have heard of it. ”

The person who answered was Chen Yan, the manager of Wucheng Zhiwei Building, who had a relationship with Cheng Tianle not long ago, and the white-robed woman was called Mei Rongcheng, who was Shi Ye's true disciple. The Plum Blossom Holy Realm here is the sect dojo of the Three Dreams Sect, and its cave gate is at the ochre-red mountain wall. The Three Dreams Sect has another cave in Wucheng, and Shi Ye himself is not often here, only when the sect ceremony is held, the disciples of the Three Dreams Sect will gather in the Plum Blossom Holy Realm, and usually only someone takes turns on duty. It happened that Chen Yan was also there today, and he recognized Cheng Tianle who was wandering outside.

Mei Rongcheng was stunned when he heard this: "I have also heard Zeren mention this person, and Master and Zeren seem to have high hopes for him, saying that this person is expected to be the first of a generation and solve a problem in the Kunlun cultivation world. I thought he was some kind of amazing character, but when I look at it today, why do I look like a fool? Who is full of monks in the world and runs to the gate of the Plum Blossom Holy Realm to pull weeds! ”

Chen Yan looked at Cheng Tianle's behavior through the cloud slate, and guessed in confusion: "Maybe it's a misunderstanding, I heard that Cheng Tianle is from a loose cultivator, and the people gathered around him are also mountain and wild demon cultivators, maybe they don't know where the Plum Blossom Holy Realm of this sect is, but they just happen to pass by here occasionally." ”

Mei Rongcheng: "If it's really a misunderstanding, this misunderstanding will be big!" He is not an unknown person now, and he is not without contacts with his fellow factions, so it is easy for people to mistake it for a provocation! …… If you really don't know, you will pass by too coincidentally and do things too funny. I can't figure out how there are such monks in the world. ”

Chen Yan: "I can't figure out what he's doing, can my senior sister see what kind of grass he's pulling?" ”

Mei Rongcheng: "You may not know this weed, but I know that it is called the Red Flame Fruit, and it is not a cultivable thing, but a wild snakeberry mutation. It bears fruit in early summer, about the size of an ordinary strawberry, and the fruit is beautiful but poisonous. Master Ziying once instructed that there are many tourists in the Meihua Mountain area on weekdays, this kind of red flame fruit looks very attractive, if it is mistakenly taken, it may have consequences, and when the disciples of this sect enter and exit the plum blossom holy realm, if they see the red flame fruit, they must pick it and bury it in the soil. ”

Chen Yan: "Is Cheng Tianle passing by to help?" He uprooted all the withered Red Flame Fruit Grass plants. ”

Mei Rongcheng shook his head and said, "Those are all dead grass, what's the use of pulling them out?" The Red Flame Fruit does not grow new Red Flame Fruit in the second year after it lands, and it is a new mutant plant that appears every year in the ordinary snakeberry. ”

Chen Yan: "I see that he is sniffing with his nose, is he collecting medicine, can the withered grass of this red flame fruit be used to refine medicine?" ”

Mei Rongcheng shook his head again and said: "Master Ziying is known as the number one in the world, and she has never said that the Red Flame Fruit can be used in medicine. She did mention a few words about the medicinal properties of this substance, it has the effect of hallucinogenic and paralyzing nerves, but it is not of much use to help the cultivation, it may be able to alleviate the pain in the process of strengthening the muscles and bones, but it needs to use other much more precious elixirs to neutralize the toxicity, so there is no need.

You see that Cheng Tianle is obviously not picking medicine, he pulls out one and smells it and then throws it away, and then pulls out another one and throws it away, it is clearly pulling weeds and playing, as if he is still studying the earthly environment in which this kind of thing grows, but he has studied it to the gate of the Plum Blossom Holy Realm. Master also said that since the Plum Blossom Sacred Realm Cave Heaven was reopened, the aura in the surrounding area has gathered, and the probability of the appearance of the Red Flame Fruit is also obviously high, so the master will tell the disciple to remove it when he sees it.

In the past few years, every early summer, Shi Niang even instructed You Cheng to search for red flame fruit in the area of Meihua Mountain, and try to remove all of them so as not to let people see them, so as not to cause accidental poisoning. And You Cheng likes to eat the Red Flame Fruit, anyway, he is not afraid of its toxicity. ”

Chen Yan: "Since pulling out the withered grass can't remove the Red Flame Fruit, then Cheng Tianle is obviously not here to help, and it doesn't look like he's here to worship the mountain." …… But since this person has obtained the signboard of the immortal master, could it be that the immortal master asked him to come, and this move has another meaning? ”

Mei Rongcheng muttered: "If it is really what Master Feng arranged for him to do, I can't figure out the deep meaning of it. Anyway, the outdoor door is the Meihua Mountain Scenic Area, and he will pull the weeds if he likes to, so we don't have to care. ”

If Cheng Tianle heard this conversation, I don't know how he would feel? The elixir he was looking for was a poisonous weed that the disciples of the Three Dreams Sect deliberately removed in the mountains every year. Since he didn't feel right, he left Meihua Mountain and went to find the place where Lin Xiaoguo picked wild fruits a few days ago. Zi Hao said that it was in the depths of the Purple Mountain, but the description was not quite accurate, because continuing to go east from the Purple Mountain had already reached the area of Linggu Temple.

The mountains are not high, but the trees are very lush, and in some places there are artificial gardens and tended gardens, but in many places there are many trees that are more than 100 years old. Diving into the dense forest and jumping over the mountain stream, around an old tree that can accommodate two people in the hole under the roots, and a dense shrub grows in the forest in front of it. At this time, the shrub has lost its leaves, and the branches are hung with sparse wild fruits, which look very much like wild kiwifruit, but only the size of red dates, and the skin has been slightly wrinkled.

The fruit on the nearby shrub has been emptied, because Lin Xiaoguo just came a few days ago. Cheng Tianle didn't want to leave his tracks, and he didn't even want to break a branch, so he let Zi Hao turn into an invisible spirit and go into the bushes, pick a fruit and come back to study. This thing is really a monkey fruit, and its physical characteristics are exactly the same as those recorded in the Lu Wu Shen Lun Dan Fang.

Zi Hao said: "There are still a lot of monkey fruits here, should we pick a batch back?" ”

Cheng Tianle shook his head and said: "Monkey fruit is not a precious and difficult thing to find, as long as you know that it is here, it will be easy to do." We can't get any other elixirs together for the time being, so we can come back next winter or go somewhere else to collect them. That Lin Xiaoguo doesn't know what the use of taking monkey fruit here, if he finds that the wild fruit here is suddenly gone, it will definitely arouse suspicion, let's not move yet. ”

Zi Hao praised: "Senior brother, I find that you are more and more thoughtful, and people seem to be getting smarter and smarter, and it is indeed best not to move the monkey fruit here." ”

Cheng Tianle: "Then you still ask me if I pick it?" ”

Zi Hao: "I just want to test you and see if you have thought it through?" If you really want to pick fruit, I will dissuade you again, but I did not expect that you have learned to be shrewd. ”

Cheng Tianle: "It's not shrewd, it's natural and transparent, and the cultivation doesn't become more and more confused, unless it's a mistake." ”

The two of them gained a very big day, and in the evening, they left Zhongshan Scenic Area and returned to the hotel with distraction. In the next few days, Nangong Yue's progress was also very smooth, she met Gong Yexin in the market, and "accidentally" was recognized by the other party The identity of the rabbit demon. Gongye Xin is the name of the little rabbit demon in the world, and the compound surname "Gongye" is rare, but it is still well-known in history.

One of the seventy-two sages under Confucius, and also his son-in-law, he was called Gongyechang, and later generations were called Gongyezi. It is said that Gongye Chang is not only diligent and inquisitive, but also insightful and even proficient in the language of birds and beasts. This little rabbit demon is named Gongye, which is probably related to this allusion. What's even more interesting is that Nangong Yue, who is also a rabbit demon, also uses a rare compound surname "Nangong", one of the seventy-two sages under Confucius, and his niece and son-in-law's name is Nangong Shi.

The two surnames Gongye and Nangong are not only the same family in history, but also relatives!!
