Chapter Twenty-Nine: Red Clouds

Because they were afraid of recurring incidents if they stayed any longer, they set foot on the road back to Lanmen early the next morning.

The city is full of flowers, and the variety is flourishing, even in this autumn, when the flowers are exhausted, you can see the flowers that are still intact swaying in the breeze when you walk on the road.

Out of the city is the boundary of Kyoto, but on this leaf green Wu does not say goodbye, I am afraid that her portrait in Kyoto has already been plastered all over the streets and alleys, as soon as you step into the city, you will be recognized. You don't need to go through Kyoto to get to Arashimon, you just need to walk along the border.

After leaving the inn, they walked through the slightly yellowed jungle, the thin dead leaves under their feet rattling, and the occasional crisp birdsong dispelled some of the boredom of the road.

Just after being attacked by the Great Demon Qingji's True Dragon Scales, Ye Luwu could clearly feel that his soul power should have reached a higher level. But even though her cultivation had already advanced, the barrier firmly embedded in the meridians still didn't move at all, and no matter how hard she tried, the barrier didn't respond.

To say that this barrier hindered her cultivation seemed to be innate, it existed when she first sensed her soul power. But every time she confidently tried to open it, the barrier seemed to grow stronger, growing as she grew.

If she continued like this, sooner or later her cultivation would be hindered by this barrier, and she would not be able to move forward.

It was precisely because of the existence of this barrier that she practiced more diligently than others, just so that her ascension speed could surpass the barrier, so as to break it in one fell swoop!

Chen Yu had already carefully estimated the time, and if he walked the distance from Moquehui Mountain Villa to Lanshan with his feet, he was afraid that it would only take a month less, so Yu Qiu would definitely not return to Lanmen before the Red Cloud Tree bore fruit. So he set his sword in a deserted place, and where there was a village, he set foot and repaired it before setting out on the road.

In this way, although their speed was not very fast, on the evening of the ninth day, the three of them arrived at the foot of Arashiyama on time.

It stands to reason that with Yu Qiu's cultivation, it is not enough to be the head of this house. But since the outbreak of the demon race thousands of years ago and the suppression by human cultivators, there is no demon clan power in this world that can surpass the human race, and even the rebellion in Fengwu Snow Mountain fifty years ago only affected a small part of the surrounding area. Therefore, the human race immortal cultivators are becoming more and more lazy, and over time, their strength is not as good as before, even if Yu Qiu can't even do it with the sword, but except for the genius Chen Yu in the Lanmen, no one can match him.

Tonight, the sky is full of stars, and the crescent moon is as thin as a silver silk thread, aggrievedly hidden behind the twinkling stars.

Since there is no moonlight, and Lanmen has been unmanned for a long time, the whole mountain is pitch black, if they are not very familiar with this place, I am afraid that they will not be able to find the martial arts arena.

"What the hell is this...... What's going on?"

Ye Luwu opened his mouth in surprise and looked at the red cloud tree in front of him.

After the battle between Chongguang and Chenyu, the martial arts arena formed a shallow but extremely widespread pit, and on the day Ye Luwu and Wen Yu left Lanmen, although the Chiyun Tree was shaken off a lot of leaves, it still stood there in good shape.

But now the whole tree seems to have lost all its vitality, and there is not even a trace of scar on the dark trunk, but all the leaves have fallen off, and they are spread on top of the martial arts arena in layers, even if there is only a dim starlight, the seemingly boundless fiery red is enough to make people thrilling.

Chen Yujian frowned, a red light flashed in his right palm, and his body quickly half-squatted, pressing his palm to the ground.

Knowing that he was really probing the Red Cloud Tree, Ye Luwu stood quietly aside, waiting for the final conclusion.

After a while, he slowly straightened up and said to the two of them in a deep voice: "The root system has been broken, and there is no power to cure it." ”

Ye Luwu was surprised: "The Red Cloud Tree connects the spiritual veins of the entire Lanshan, if it dies, then the Lanshan ......."

Her words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious.

Not long ago, the creatures of Lanshan had just experienced the suffering of the Jiuhua Heavenly Thunder Array, and there were only a few scattered creatures left with cultivation, but now the root system of the Chiyun Tree has been broken, which is to completely cut off the vitality of the entire Lanshan.

Chen Yu nodded slightly: "There is still a turbid breath here, presumably when we fought in the Moque Hui Villa, some of the disciples of the Moque Society smuggled here and took the opportunity to destroy the Chiyun Tree." ”

Ye Luwu's face was sad, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Mo Que will ...... He is so ruthless that he will not even let go of the flowers and trees of Lanshan!"

The Red Cloud Tree is an ancient artifact formed after the chaos was divided into heaven and earth, and no one knows how long it has existed. In the long years, it has supported the spiritual energy of heaven and earth circulating in Lanshan alone, and has almost merged with this mountain, and it has long been inseparable from the spiritual veins of Lanshan.

This sacred tree, which had been covering Lanmen for a long time, was attacked by someone like this, and then destroyed.

"Chiyun Fruit......" Chen Yu muttered softly, and then flew forward, his figure shuttling between the branches.

After a while, he returned to his place with a relaxed face, and said with a sense of relief: "Fortunately, although the spiritual veins have been depleted, the spiritual energy accumulated by the Chiyun Tree for more than a thousand years can still protect the Chiyun Fruit at this time, and it has not been completely exhausted. We only need to use our soul power to nourish it for the time being, and tomorrow the melons will be picked when they are ripe. ”

Ye Luwu also breathed a sigh of relief, this was the last time the Chiyun Tree bore fruit, but fortunately it didn't fall short.

Chen Yu helped Chongguang to slowly walk around the potholes on the ground, and walked towards the Chiyun Tree, Ye Luwu followed behind them, his expression solemn as if the front was not a long-dead tree, but a saint who had become a feathered immortal.

As soon as they walked under the tree, Chen Yu raised his hand, and a red soul power instantly turned into the most dazzling fire in the night sky and rushed into the branches, illuminating the red cloud fruit that everyone longed for.

Ye Luwu looked up, that little fruit is not a brilliant appearance, on the contrary, it is not different from ordinary fruits except for the whole body is red, if it is mixed in the fruit, no one will find that this is the fruit of the red cloud tree that moves the world.

Since she wanted to nourish with soul power, she turned her palm outward, sending out a steady stream of soul power in her body, wrapping it around that fruit.

And the fruit began to slowly absorb her soul power, and a faint luster began to appear on the dull skin.

Just as the two of them were nourishing the fruit with their soul power, Chongguang stepped forward softly and pressed his palm against the dark and thick trunk of the Red Cloud Tree.

The color of the trunk was so thick that his palm glowed softly white like a lamp in the night.

Seeing him move like this, Chen Yu frowned and said, "Do you think we can't nourish this fruit until it matures?" ”

Chongguang didn't answer, and there was no spiritual power in his palm, as if he was just tired of walking and resting on the trunk.

After a few moments, he spoke softly, chanting an old ballad.

Qing Yue's voice spread out in the night, and although the Red Cloud Tree had been dead for a long time, the scarce spiritual power remaining in it seemed to feel the call of this song, and they all drilled out of the trunk of the tree, turning into golden light dust, floating around, surrounding the heavy light.

Ye Luwu was a little surprised, Chongguang clearly did not use spiritual power, but she seemed to see a circle of ripples in the air spread. If the Red Cloud Tree at this moment is a pool of stagnant water, then this ballad is a stone thrown into it, although it did not stir up a thousand waves, but it also succeeded in disturbing the silence in the pool.

The ballad lasted for about half a cup of tea, and the spiritual power of the Red Cloud Tree flew towards the Red Cloud Fruit after the song ended, and the moth drilled into it like a fire.

And after receiving these spiritual powers, the Red Cloud Fruit began to exude a golden luster slightly. The golden light flowed on the crimson skin, and the tiny light dust seemed to encompass an entire Nine Heavens galaxy.

Ye Luwu looked up at the fruit that had become so radiant in less than half an hour, and somehow a trace of sadness welled up in her heart, as if the sorrow of the red cloud tree had reached her heart.

After a few moments, the red cloud fruit shook on its own, and then slowly fell from the branches.

Chen Yu hurriedly walked over, and the fruit with the last spiritual power and hope of the Chiyun Tree fell steadily in his palm with the lamentation of the creatures of Lanshan.

Ye Luwu stood by and watched, wanting to touch it but was afraid that the fruit was too fragile, so he had to look at it steadily, "It turns out that this fruit looks like this when it is ripe, but the simple and unpretentious rumors are not true." ”

"It's not true," Chongguang said: "It's really a special situation this time, the Chiyun Fruit is nourished by the mother tree, and it has not been able to absorb all the spiritual power, so the spiritual power floats on the surface, and it will be like this." ”

"It combines the spiritual power of the entire Red Cloud Tree, and it is born with some spiritual sense, so not everyone can have the same ascension after obtaining it. Moreover, this fruit is too scarce, presumably the people who got it the first two times did not use it correctly, so it was promoted to a mediocre and did not become a big climate. ”

Ye Luwu hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, what is the correct way to use it?"

Chongguang walked in slowly and nodded slightly at them: "Inject soul power into it, try to hook up with it, and whether you can get its help depends on your ability." ”

As soon as Chen Yu's right hand was raised, a red soul power quickly submerged into it.

Ye Luwu looked at it angrily beside him, but after a while, Chiyunguo didn't react, so he hesitated to speak: "But the hookup was successful?"

Chen Yu shook his head, "I can't feel the existence of its spiritual consciousness at all, and my soul power is like a clear spring entering the sea, and all of it is absorbed by it." ”

The current situation doesn't seem to be the same as what the senior brother said, Ye Luwu thought, could it be because Chen Yu didn't have an appetite for this Chiyun Fruit, so he didn't want to help him?

Chongguang said at this time: "How did I say that only one person can collude?"

What does this mean...... Ye Luwu's eyes lit up and asked, "Senior brother, do you mean I can also try it?"

He nodded and said, "Together, you know what it looks like to connect with spiritual consciousness." ”

Ye Luwu almost couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and even the outstretched hand trembled slightly. The Red Cloud Fruit can directly turn an ordinary person into a qualified cultivator, and if such a great supplement can really be successfully connected by himself, it must be just around the corner to break through that barrier.

Strange to say, when the two soul powers were injected into the Chiyun Fruit together, it suddenly flew up from Chen Yu's palm and stayed directly above the two of them.

Ye Luwu looked up in surprise, and she clearly felt a trace of emotion from inside Chiyun Guo.

It seemed to keep repeating two sentences, and Ye Luwu once again condensed his mind and sensed it carefully.

"Thank you......"

This is the gratitude to them, to be able to come to their aid at the last minute, and to avoid it falling short on the eve of maturity.

"Wouldn't it be right to do this earlier......"

Ye Luwu was very shocked when she sensed this sentence, she immediately turned her head to look at Chen Yu, and found that he also looked unexpected, so she knew that he had also heard this sentence. She blinked, "Are we being laughed at by this fruit?"

Chen Yu frowned, and lowered his eyes very reluctantly: "It seems to be true." ”

Red Cloud Fruit ignored the two of them, it quickly rushed towards Heavy Light, circling around his body for a week before rising into the air again. The whole fruit began to glow with a dazzling golden light, and the flesh of the fruit quickly disappeared, transforming into an even more dazzling light.

A moment later, the golden light split in two, quickly falling from the top of their heads into their bodies.

The moment the golden light entered her body, Ye Luwu felt an extremely warm current pouring in from the top of her head and melting into the meridians around her. Her soul power began to become rich under the immersion of this golden light, her dantian was slightly hot, and even her meridians were much stronger, and she would never be injured by ordinary attacks again.

She was very satisfied with her changes, even if she was calculated again, she would never fight with her life like last time. In other words, the moves of Qu Qu's two elite disciples were no longer enough for her.

After conditioning the circulation of soul power around her body, she said to Chongguang happily: "Senior brother, I feel like I have been reborn now, and my cultivation has also reached a higher level!"

Chongguang was still indifferent, as if her actions were expected: "That's good, Chiyunguo is very grateful to you, so although you are two people using one, the effect has not been attenuated by half a point." ”

When she thought of the fact that she had just been ridiculed by a fruit for not infusing her soul power, she couldn't help but think of the two people who had enjoyed the Red Cloud Fruit before her, and she wondered how far those two fruits would degrade them. She couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed: "Then how did Senior Brother know that the correct way was to use soul power to hook up, instead of eating it directly?"

Chongguang stretched out his hand and pressed against the trunk of the tree again, raised his head slightly, as if looking at the bare branches of the Chiyun Tree, and said softly: "It was it that told me, and I helped it inject all its spiritual power into the Chiyun Fruit to make it ripen early, and it is very grateful to me." ”

Early on, I knew that the senior brother could feel what had happened here with a trace of breath, but Ye Luwu never thought that he could connect with the spirit sense without using soul power, after all, the Red Cloud Tree has been here for more than three hundred years, and there is no record of talking to people.

She suddenly remembered the ballad that Fang Chongguang had sung, and she wondered if it was because of this ballad?

"Senior brother, the song you just sang ......"

Before the words fell, Chongguang turned around and walked in another direction, and a cold voice came from the front: "Improvisation, nothing special. ”

Ye Luwu felt that the fog on Chongguang's body seemed to be thicker, and the ripples that spread out in the circle were definitely not caused by his own dazzle, but the senior brother didn't want to say anything. Besides, looking at Chen Yu's appearance, he had never known that the senior brother would do this, so who is this senior brother who lives in a simple place?

It's just that there's still a lot of time, so let's pay attention to it slowly.

She sighed and chased after her.
