Chapter 60: The Fuso Sacred Tree of Ancient Tomb Exploration
When the lightning was blazing, he suddenly found that two fierce winds were coming from the left and right, and Li Ji secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and it was too late to dodge!
At the critical moment, a silver light broke through the air from the back of the head, resisting the mandarin duck double knife.
Looking at it closely, it was Xu Shixi who shot an arrow with a Shenjiatong bow in his hand, shot the flying knife away, and then fell from the sky and crossed in front of Li Ji.
"Division...... Senior sister, it's me, Li Ji ......"
Li Ji stood up and saw Xinyan standing in a daze near the big mulberry tree, her mouth seemed to be talking one by one, but she didn't understand what she was saying, which made people feel an unprecedented fear, her body seemed to be manipulated by something, and her current movements and words were completely out of her control, as if she was occupied by some kind of demon.
Suddenly, she turned around, her eyes were bloodshot, and without saying a word, she went straight to cut people when she saw them.
Xu Shixi didn't dare to be careless, and fought with her with a Shenjiatong bow in his hand.
The Akajiri horse monkey joked: "Is she what you call Xinyan? Hehe, I see that this female doll looks very delicate, I can't imagine that the fight is so fierce." ”
Li Ji shook his head and said, "No, Senior Sister has become like this, something must have happened?"
"You kid is quite fond of your senior sister. ”
"Brother Monkey, you are well-informed and powerful, what is wrong with her?"
"Hehe, her eyes are red, and she cuts people when she sees them, she should be poisoned. ”
"Poisoning? What kind of poison?" Li Ji heard this, and his heart was cold for most of the time, poisoning in this ghost place where there are no people everywhere, that is to call the heavens and the earth not to work.
"The female doll's eyes are red, her expression is sluggish, and her body is uncontrollable, she should have been poisoned by a poison called Golden Silkworm Gu. This poison is passed on from the Jiuli tribe, and it is made into poison by using golden silkworm Gu to make powder, which is the most poisonous in the world. It is formless and colorless, extremely difficult to guard against, if the poisoned person has thousands of insects around the body to bite their teeth, the pain is unbearable, and they can't survive, they can't die. No matter how skilled you are, you can be poisoned by an ordinary village woman who has no power to restrain the chicken and lose your mind, and your facial features are ruined, and you are controlled by the mind of the poisoner. ”
"Golden Silkworm Gu?" Li Ji was taken aback.
"Yes, this poison is extremely difficult to make, and it is insidious and vicious, and few people know how to use it today. ”
"Since Brother Monkey knows that the Golden Silkworm Gu in Senior Sister is it, he must also know the way to crack it, and please save Senior Sister, Li Ji is grateful. After Li Ji finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to the Akajiri horse monkey.
"Well, maybe, since you are so sincere, I will think of a way, and I should return you a favor, and we will be cleared from now on. ”
The Akajiri horse monkey rolled his eyes and said, "The Fusang tree is a kind of tree that the golden crow lives in all the year round, it is a fire spirit wood, the leaves are like mulberry, and there are trees, the tree is 2,000 zhang old, and the big is more than 2,000 around, and the tree grows in pairs and pairs with the same root, and it is more dependent on each other, so it is named Fusang." The big mulberry tree in front of us is believed to be the legendary Fusang sacred tree, carrying the sunrise and sunset, over and over again, its leaves condense the essence of the sun, is the most powerful fire attribute divine tree in the world, enough to restrain the world's yin to evil golden silkworm Gu. ”
"Really? Without further ado, I'll go pick a leaf now. ”
Li Ji was overjoyed, and when he was about to run towards the Fuso Sacred Tree, he was kicked to the ground by the Akajiri horse monkey: "I haven't finished my words yet......"
"What's wrong?" Li Ji saw that the Akajiri horse monkey had a serious face, and suddenly stopped, puzzled.
"The Fusang Divine Tree is the most rigid and yang thing between heaven and earth, and the body of a god and man is still difficult to stop, so won't your mortal body be sent to death in vain?"
"Then what should I do? I can't just watch my senior sister be poisoned to death by the Golden Silkworm Gu, even if it's hard, I have to fight to save it. ”
"Boy, you are naturally warm-hearted, and I am also very touched. In this way, I will lend you a treasure, which is enough to resist the Fuso Divine Fire. ”
"What?"
"Fire Raccoon Cloth. The Akajiri horse monkey pointed to a white vest he was wearing.
"Can this vest block the Fusang Divine Fire?" Zhou Babao, who was standing on the side, said with a face full of disbelief.
"Dead fat man, do you know what? There is Fusang wood in the east, Ruomu in the west, ember wood in the south, Xunmu in the north, and Jianmu in the heaven and earth, which are the five sacred trees of ancient times. As the saying goes, 'build wood through the sky, find wood through the ground, immortal like wood, immortal wood, immortal ember wood, and raise the spirit of the wood', and the spirit of the tree is the Fusang sacred tree, which has the spirit of the sun and is the source of the endless energy of the golden crow. ”
The Akajiri horse monkey jumped back and forth between the rocks, and his voice came slowly: "The prestige of the five ancient sacred trees is almost unknown to everyone. However, few people know that they are actually one in themselves, a split of an ancient immortal tree. ”
"Ancient Immortal Tree?"
Li Ji and Zhou Babao were even more shocked when they heard this, they were very curious about what the ancient immortal tree in the mouth of the Chijiri horse monkey was, and after it was split, it could become a powerful divine tree like the Five Great Divine Trees.
If you say this, wouldn't the Ancient Immortal Tree itself be even more powerful than you can imagine.
However, at this time, there was no time to listen to the details of the Chijiri horse monkey, because after Xu Shixi and Xinyan fought for a few rounds, they gradually couldn't parry, after all, in the cultivation of spiritual power, there was a big difference.
"Brother Monkey, can your vest really resist the fire of the Fuso Divine Tree?"
"Of course, this treasure of mine comes from the Ember Wood, which grows in the Flaming Mountains of the Southern Wilderness, where the flames spread day and night without extinguishing. There is a mythical beast fire rat on the ember wood, weighing hundreds of catties, and the long hair on the body is more than two feet long, as thin as hair, which can be used for weaving. Fire rats live in fire for a long time, and when they are fired, their bodies will turn white, and they will die if they are chased with water. Take its wool to weave cloth, you can make a god cloth fire cloth, into the fire does not melt, is a rare immortal product. ”
"Without further ado, then ask Brother Monkey to lend me this treasure armor, and please ask Brother Monkey and the fat man to take care of Xinyan more, just in case, I can rest assured to get the divine leaf." ”
"Another point is that since this tree is a sacred tree, it requires the sincere prayer of the purest and most true people in order to receive the blessing of the sacred tree. That is to say, it is not enough to have a fire cloth, you also need a pure heart. Therefore, not everyone can climb the sacred tree, including many gods who can't do it easily, and if you're not careful, they will all turn to ashes, can you think about it?"
Li Ji was anxious, didn't say a word, put on the Huohuan cloth vest, and quickly ran towards the Fusang Sacred Tree.
The Fuso tree is surrounded by crimson stones, like a steamer for steaming steamed buns, and white smoke fills everywhere, and a hot breath comes to the face.
Although it was protected by a fire cloth vest, the temperature of the sacred tree was beyond imagination, and it had already made Li Ji sweat all over.
The Fuso sacred tree is very tall, there is no top, and it took a long time to climb before you can see the gear-like Fusang leaves, but the strange thing is that when he reached out to pick it in front of him, he was never able to do so, so he ran and chased all the way, tired and sweaty, and always fruitless.
At this moment, a tiger roar was suddenly heard, and out of nowhere, a black tiger jumped out, entrenched on the branch of the Fuso God Tree, and roared at Li Ji a few times, as if mocking him.
Li Ji was startled and almost fell off the tree.
"Where did the tiger come from in the tree?"
When I saw the tiger, I instantly remembered that I met the girl in brocade clothes in Zhuling Village, and teased her with the allusion that the three of them became tigers.
Unexpectedly, I really encountered a tiger today, and I was laughed at by it fiercely, I don't know if it is a causal cycle.
Li Ji gasped, forced himself to calm down, slowly stabilized his heels, and clenched the Chixiao Sword, facing this black tiger twice as big as him, he really felt bitter in his heart.
Strangely, the black tiger did not attack him, but lay on the branches to block the way, wagging his tail and glaring at him with two eyes.
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a thunderous voice and said, "Boy, where did you come from, how dare you come to this holy place to be presumptuous?"
Li Ji looked up and saw a strong man with a black face and a thick beard sitting on the branch above the black tiger, wearing an iron crown, holding an iron whip in his hand, and wearing a full uniform, giving him a mighty appearance.
"Who are you? Could it be the one who poisoned the senior sister?" After speaking, Li Ji tightened the sword in his hand, this black-faced strong man can be accompanied by a tiger, and he is by no means an idle person.
"Hehe, joke, do you think I'm full and have nothing to do and run to poison? Boy, you're also a noble person, and you don't recognize me just by changing my appearance. ”
"You...... Who the hell are you?"
"Hehe, the ...... you've seen in Lei Gongmo Cliff"
"What? Are you the zombie ancestor Yinggou?" Li Ji took a few steps back in fright, suspecting that this black-faced strong man was the embodiment of Yinggou?
"Who's that zombie ghost?"
"Then you are ......"
"I am the three-legged raven you rescued, the child of the sun. ”
"What? you...... It's a three-legged crow, isn't it dead?"
The three-legged crow, known as the Golden Crow, is the son of the sun, just as a person has a body and a soul, and the 'Sun Spirit' is the soul of the sun, and the soul of a person does not die after death, and the sun can be regenerated after death. The former was born in the sky for ten days, and the emperor ordered Yi to shoot for nine days, changed into nine birds, fell on Qingcheng Mountain, became nine ghost kings, and eight ghosts were sick and harmed people. Yu fell on the rooftop, its body is a stone, the sun stone is also, and its essence is a person. After growing up, you have the art of the gods, and the mortal body is repeated, endlessly, only then you inadvertently release the body of the sun stone, and then the true yang attaches to the stone, and the god body is one. ”
"You mean to say that you are resurrected?" Li Ji listened to the black-faced strong man chewing the words, jerky and difficult to understand, he was definitely not a person of this dynasty, and after hearing it, he gradually figured out that he was the incarnation of the three-legged crow, and he inadvertently released his physical body, making his man and god unified, coupled with his physical body in the mortal world for many years, he is now obviously at the level of a god.
"Haha, boy, to be exact, it is to become a god, or it can be said to be resurrection, the meaning is similar. What the hell are you doing here?"
"Ah, Heavenly God, please let me pick a leaf of the Divine Tree, Senior Sister has been hit by the Golden Silkworm Gu, and she needs the power of the Divine Tree to crack it. ”
"Oh, Golden Silkworm Gu, this is the Demon Clan's technique, why does it appear here?"
"We have no way of knowing, thinking about it, it may have been poisoned in the Colosseum of the Jiuli Clan, and it is just a seizure now!"
"However, the leaves of the sacred tree contain the infinite energy of the universe, the growth of each divine leaf, it is extremely difficult, three hundred and sixty-five years to grow into a leaf, and then suffer from the thunder of the sky, the body is not destroyed, and then go through three hundred and sixty-five years, in order to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and thrive. So, they all have spirituality, and if you take them, you want to destroy their practice, unless they are willing, and that depends on your own chances. ”
"Do you mean that I'll pick a divine leaf myself and ask him if he's willing to give it to me?"
"Haha......" A tiger roared, and the black-faced strong man nodded, rode the black tiger and laughed and disappeared into the Fuso tree.
"I haven't had time to ask the name of this celestial god, why did he leave suddenly?" Even so, Li Ji was very grateful for the instructions of the black-faced celestial god in his heart, so he looked at the divine leaves in front of him, slowly knelt down, and prayed silently: "Disciple Li Ji, because of the golden silkworm Gu in the senior sister, she is helpless, pray for the divine tree to be merciful and give the divine leaf a piece to relieve the Gu poison, the disciple is willing to give everything for you to drive, let it be taken, without complaint." ”
After speaking, he pressed his hands on the tree and kowtowed sincerely.
Suddenly, the sacred tree shook violently, the mountains and rocks rolled, the sky was stained with blood red, and the thunder shook the sky.
In an instant, the heavens shook, and the Fuso Sacred Tree seemed to be like a long-sleeping dragon about to wake up!
The golden divine light rushed from all directions, it was the source of life of the sacred tree, and it was the purest sun spirit in the world.
Li Ji, who was kneeling, felt that his palms warmed up, and a strange energy came from the tree, which penetrated his whole body, and then heard an ancient voice of vicissitudes, echoing in his ears: "You are sincere in seeking leaves, and I also have the beauty of adults, but the yin and yang of heaven and earth, one and the other, all things are balanced, are you willing to give the power of the thousand-year-old wood charm in your body in exchange?"
"The power of the thousand-year-old wood ghost?" Li Ji suddenly remembered that when he was in the death swamp, he inexplicably absorbed the spiritual power of the thousand-year-old wood ghost, although this power was powerful, but it was really unable to control its operation, resulting in chaos in the body, which was extremely uncomfortable. Originally, I wanted to wait for this matter, and then return to the Divine Wind Academy to deal with it, but now the Divine Tree actually wants a thousand years of wood ghost spiritual power in exchange, which is simply unwanted.
Li Ji was overjoyed and said, "The disciple is willing to exchange!"
This towering divine tree suddenly moved, a golden leaf fell from the tree to Li Ji's palm, gradually dimming, as if it had lost all vitality in an instant, and the body of the tree, which could only be held by hundreds of people, was violently shaking, constantly rotating, and a magical energy quickly converged towards the trunk.
At this moment, I heard Xinyan's frightened scream from under the tree......
