Chapter Thirty-Eight: Get up in the morning and catch up in the evening
The rules of the harvest festival sound simple, but they are actually very dangerous.
Although the Heavenly Spirit Grass is not at the level of a heavenly treasure, it is also a medicinal herb that can increase the spiritual power of cultivators, and it grows once a year, and is guarded by the spirit beast Bathing Fire Falcon.
Fire Falcon: A low-level spirit animal in Shennong Peak, it is recorded in the "String Pen Chronicle", and the reason why it is called the Fire Falcon is that it is like a phoenix and can be reborn in Nirvana. And every time you respawn, your strength will increase a little. But its rebirth can only be reborn if it dies on the day when the Heavenly Spirit Grass matures every year.
The first time the fire falcon was born, his strength was equivalent to that of an ordinary human, and after he died once, he would increase his cultivation like a human cultivator.
Shennong Peak, the Fire Falcon, has died fourteen times, according to the conversion of the human cultivation realm, the Nine Levels of the Quenching Body Realm plus the Great Perfection of the Quenching Body Realm is the tenfold realm, and the Fire Falcon can reach the Great Perfection of the Quenching Body Realm if it dies ten times. Having died fourteen times in this way, the current strength of the Fire Falcon should be in the fourfold realm of the Law Phase.
Most people don't know about the falcon, so every year at the picking festival, it becomes more and more difficult for the participants to kill the falcon. Ignorant people will only think that these fire falcons are so numerous that they will never be killed.
Unbeknownst to them, there is only one Falcon in the world, and when this one dies on the day when it cannot be reborn, another one will be born. Therefore, every fire falcon is unique in the world.
……
Zong Wusheng walked out of the cultivation dark room, the noon sun was scorching the earth, and he stretched his waist comfortably, and Zong Wusheng set his eyes on Chu Ge, who came with all the money.
She always came to Zong Wusheng's side as soon as he appeared, and Zong Wusheng felt in his heart that the current Chu Ge, after opening the Heavenly Wisdom Star Law Phase, had become elusive, making people completely confused.
"Alliance Leader, you promised the City Lord's Mansion to participate in this year's Picking Festival, and now you should leave."
"Knowing Chu Ge, I'm going to go to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Be careful!"
At this time, Chu Ge was like a personal secretary who had been serving his master for many years, and after coming over to remind Zong Wusheng of the event he was going to attend today, he stood silently on the side, without a single superfluous word.
Zong Wusheng smiled secretly in his heart, painted the Heavenly Gate and left, and came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Today's Castle Lord's Mansion is extremely lively, and the Picking Festival Celebration held in the central market on weekdays was moved by the Castle Lord in front of the Castle Lord's Mansion today.
The crowds of people formed an impenetrable human wall, and their faces were full of the joy of a bumper harvest. The Picking Festival, as the name suggests, is a harvest festival, not only the Tianling grass in Shennong Peak is ripe, but the people's food has also reached the ripening day.
Zong Wusheng stood outside the human wall, and finally squeezed in.
City Lord Meng Tian, the patriarchs of the four major families all attended the rostrum, Meng Tian presided over the picking festival for the first time, and inevitably made a speech, which was nothing more than to say some congratulatory words on the grain harvest, and once again encouraged the people to have fewer children and a variety of food, if they couldn't eat, they could donate to the City Lord's Mansion to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and they talked too much......
The picking festival was finally held after the city lord made an impassioned speech. The disciples of the various families participating in the picking festival were ready, but the sect Wusheng had not yet come to the queue.
Speaking of participating disciples, Liu Zhenqing was the most aggrieved in his heart, Liu Mingluan was originally the most potential to win the championship this year, but this unconscious daughter ran away from home at this time, and among the remaining disciples, except for Liu Xi, who could not show up, entered the Dharma Phase Realm, the others were all in the Great Perfection of the Quenching Realm. As soon as he thought of this, Liu Zhenqing regretted that he was blind and did not inquire about the identity of the Sect Wusheng Elephant Builder in advance.
The ten disciples of the Liu family who were forcibly arrested by the City Lord's Mansion were already in the realm of the Fa Xiang, but after all, they were no longer disciples of the Liu family, and they had already served the royal rice bowl and eaten the public grain.
Liu Zhenqing looked at the participating disciples in the field, but he didn't see Zong Wusheng's figure, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, in fact, Liu Zhenqing was a little afraid of Zong Wusheng in his heart, and he had a sense of guilt sealed in the deepest part of his heart.
The Zong family is the benefactor of the Liu family, but the Liu family will take revenge and kill Zong Tianchi after the benefactor, no matter whether the world knows the inside story or not, the conscience in his heart has been tormenting Liu Zhenqing.
There was a bustle in the human wall built by the people, and everyone divided a road on both sides, and Zong Wusheng walked out of it with light steps, and the people around him greeted the nightmare of jealousy and hatred.
Zong Wusheng bowed slightly and responded to everyone and came to the disciples who participated in the picking festival.
Liu Zhenqing's body stood beside the city lord, and at the moment when Zong Wusheng appeared, he moved a few steps behind the city lord, and Meng Tian's tall body just blocked it.
"Patriarch Liu, where is your Liu Mingluan?"
"That's right, your daughter's daughter is one of the best in Youzhou City, how can you not come to participate in the picking festival?"
"It's a great loss for you not to let Mingluan participate in the picking festival, and we all agree that she is definitely the winner this year."
Since Zong Wusheng appeared, Ji Tianyi had been secretly observing Liu Zhenqing's expression, and seeing that he was hiding behind Meng Tian, he immediately fell into the ground, and deliberately raised his voice and asked.
Unconsciously, the Qin and Chu families also stood in the unified trench with the Ji family, and opened their mouths to cheer for Ji Tianyi.
Zong Wusheng, who had just stood still among the contestants, heard the two names that made the roots of his teeth itch, and immediately turned his head to look at it, and his gaze fell on the fat body behind the city lord.
After all, Liu Zhenqing is the head of the clan, and he can't be frightened by Zong Wusheng in front of people, and said: "Mingluan was recalled by the Tianqin Fairy of Huajian Pavilion, and it is not a matter for her to be at home, besides, the Tianqin Fairy will soon become the branch master, and there are many things around her, and Mingluan can also relieve her worries if she goes." ”
Liu Zhenqing Tian shamelessly used Huajian Pavilion to suppress everyone, but in exchange for everyone's disdain, Zong Wusheng snorted coldly, and said in his heart: Soon it will be your Liu family's turn, you wait!
A halberd warrior from the City Lord's Mansion came to the front of the crowd and shouted, "Noon has arrived, everyone is in place, prepare, start!" ”
With an order, the contestants walked towards Shennong Peak, but Zong Wusheng stood still in place, and after seeing the four participants go away, he came to Meng Tian and said, "City Lord, I have something to say to you, borrow a step to speak." ”
Everyone is really puzzled, Zong Wusheng is acting for the City Lord's Mansion, and he can only win and not lose this year, why is he not in a hurry now? Suspiciously, they watched Zong Wusheng and Meng Tian enter the City Lord's Mansion side by side, and everyone began to talk in a whisper.
Coming to the meeting room, without waiting for Zong Wusheng to speak, Meng Tian asked eagerly, "Is the matter arranged?" ”
"Chu Ge has already made arrangements, no surprise, the Holy War Alliance has reached the foot of the Blood Mountain, as long as the time comes, quickly take down the Danzhou forces."
"Okay." Meng Tian happily slammed his fists together and snapped: "As long as the four major families are taken down, Zheng Heyuan in Danzhou will be done, and the clan brothers will be able to reap the first political achievements in their careers." ”
Zong Wusheng's face was as pale as water, the ancient well was not wavering, and after nodding slightly, he took the pen to sketch, and Tianmen was born in response to the pen. didn't say goodbye to Meng Tian, entered through the door, and reappeared thirty miles away.
Shennong Peak is seventy miles away from the City Lord's Mansion, and with the footsteps of the Great Perfection cultivators of the Quenching Body Realm, it can be reached in one hour at the earliest, but Zong Wusheng only needs to outline two heavenly gates, and it is at the foot of Shennong Peak Mountain.
Zong Wusheng arrived at Shennong Peak an hour earlier than the other participants, but he did not slack off at all, speeding up his pace and rushing to the top of Shennong Peak, looking at the flowers and plants around him as he ran.
He learned from his memory that the Heavenly Spirit Grass was a turquoise plant, a nine-leaf plant with long strips of leaves and serrated teeth on both sides. He also learned that the Heavenly Spirit Grass was guarded by a spirit beast and a fire falcon.
The reason why the Fire Falcon guards the Heavenly Spirit Grass is not because he wants to devour the Heavenly Spirit Grass, but because of the unique fragrance of the Heavenly Spirit Grass, and the Fire Falcon is only for this special habit, which can't help but make Zong Wusheng feel interesting.
In less than half an hour, Zong Wusheng had already come to the top of Shennong Peak, and the top of the mountain was a spacious platform about 100 zhang long and wide. Zong Wusheng jumped onto a boulder and looked at it, ten zhang away in the distance, a turquoise plant came into view, judging by the shape, it was the Heavenly Spirit Grass.
Just as he was about to step forward to pick, Zong Wusheng stopped when he arrived, and then looked up. He almost forgot that the Heavenly Spirit Grass would be guarded by a Fire Falcon, and if he blindly stepped forward to pick it, he would definitely be attacked by the Fire Falcon.
Zong Wusheng looked up to the sky for a moment, and didn't even notice the shadow of the Fire Falcon, and was in confusion, when a voice sounded: "Are you looking for the Fire Falcon?" ”
Hearing the voice, Zong Wusheng took a step forward vigilantly, turned to look, and saw two handsome sons walking towards him, led by a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a gray-white silk robe, with a slender figure, a jade tree in the wind, and an excellent appearance.
In his hand, he was carrying a one-foot-long fiery red falcon, obviously dead, and its claws were carried by the boy, and the conical head hanging upside down on the ground shook rhythmically with the boy's steps.
Beside this young man, there was also a detached-looking handsome boy, with a frivolous face, red lips and white teeth, and a wicked smile all the time, as if he was looking at his prey, looking at Zong Wusheng like a prey.
"Who are you? Why did you come to snatch the spirit grass in Youzhou? ”
The young man in the lead snorted coldly, sneering at Zong Wusheng's words, and that expression already showed that no matter what territory he was in, as long as he was touched by him, it was in his pocket.
The young man beside him opened his mouth and responded: "Which eye did you see that we were picking the spirit grass, but the one in Zheng Gongzi's hand was the Heavenly Spirit Grass?" ”
Zong Wusheng knew that he was speechless for a while, so he stopped talking, and planned to leave here as soon as possible after picking the Heavenly Spirit Grass. He has another task, which is to take down the Danzhou forces in one fell swoop.
Just as he was about to step forward to pick the Heavenly Spirit Grass, there was a sound of breaking the air in his ears, and a young man with a flirtatious face in front of him was already blocking him. Zong Wusheng secretly said in his heart, with such a fast speed, his cultivation should be around the eighth level of the Law Phase Realm, and he was pregnant with the Three Realms Advanced Spirit Snake Law Phase.
As an elephant builder, these are inescapable.
"We've worked so hard to kill the Falcon Burning Forest, are you going to reap the benefits of the fisherman?"
Zong Wusheng felt it, if he wanted to pick the Heavenly Spirit Grass in front of these two people today, I am afraid it would not be so simple, but he still bypassed the boy and approached the Heavenly Spirit Grass step by step.
"Hmph." Seeing that Zong Wusheng ignored him, the young man snorted coldly, and the momentum of his whole body instantly emanated.
Zong Wusheng had just taken a few steps when he suddenly felt that his body was suppressed by a majestic momentum, his steps became extremely heavy, and his breathing became rapid. Unexpectedly, this young man said that he would do it, which was as insidious as a snake.
