112 This mountain ghost is not another mountain ghost
This is the highest place in the entire courtyard and covers a large area, even more than a third of the usable area.
However, compared to the beautifully decorated courtyard in front of it, this place is basically pure wilderness, except for a dozen large trees growing here and there is a clear spring flowing down, it is basically half a man's tall wild grass and bare rocks.
Following behind the two little ones, they struggled through the grass where they could not even see a little bare ground, and after climbing a few steep slopes, they suddenly heard the cheers of the little ones walking in front.
"Come on, come on! Yes, look! ”
"Meow meow!!"
The shouts of the two little ones came faintly, and Bai Ze, who had quickened his pace a little under the refreshment, quickly climbed over a boulder in front of him, and was immediately attracted by the big tree that appeared in front of him that was rooted in the side of the waterhole formed by a clear spring, and was growing and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If the big trees that the three of them hugged together can barely be regarded as abound in the place where he has been nourished by the divine power of the Dongying land, then there is no one that can grow to four meters thick and more than twenty meters high in one breath - it seems that the "earth qi" here is too strong, this tree formed entirely by spiritual existence is still growing wildly without the limitations of physiological functions, so that it has grown to a level comparable to a thousand-year-old tree in just a few minutes, And even under the nose of the teenager, it is still getting thicker and taller!
"Well, that seems a bit too much."
Bai Ze, who muttered like this, only mobilized his thoughts and operated slightly, and the crazy growth of the big tree suddenly stopped.
Immediately, there was a "reverse growth" like a movie rewind, and when I saw that the giant tree was about to break through the height of 50 meters, it quickly retracted, and after it regained the height of about 20 meters that I had just seen, it stopped changing.
As if he had learned a lesson, this time after Bai Ze released the supply of spiritual energy to it again, the tree no longer had the "unscrupulous" predatory growth like before, but after maintaining its current appearance, a nodule more than half a person tall grew from under the body of the tree near the root alone, and the emerald green aura that flowed quickly faintly flashed with a hazy brilliance, and then disappeared under the texture of the bark - a large amount of thick and rich earth aura was continuously absorbed, However, the leaves are emitted with oxygen through photosynthesis, and the nature of the aura also changes, and the whole heaven and earth seem to become much more flexible and comfortable.
And just when Bai Ze looked at the series of changes in front of him, he was quite dizzying, a red-haired baboon with a smile on his face and a human-like look, jumped out of the nodule, and quietly showed its extremely unique posture from the void to the real - wearing a simple robe woven from several fragrant grass leaves, but his appearance was like a human, the pure white hair on his cheeks and the crimson nose bridge in the middle of his face were as gorgeous as oil paint, holding a young branch like a flag, if you didn't look at the soft and dense hard hair, It's just like a witch with good facial features and warm eyes, and the overall image is neither human nor beastly, and the gods are very strange.
"Yu was born by adhering to the aura of the mountains and forests here, referring to the shape of the son's mental power, called Kui, also known as Xiaoyang, or Xiaoyang, and the people in the mountains see the Lord."
After the "baboon" briefly explained his origin and surname, he immediately bowed to the head of the priest, and the whole set of actions was flowing, solemn and elegant, which made people happy to see.
However, compared to his extremely special appearance and the rich spiritual pressure naturally exuded from his body, Bai Ze felt more concerned and surprised.
"The spiritual essence that was clearly separated from the Western Nymph fairy, how could it be the way it is now? Shouldn't it be called a mountain ghost who is both embarrassed and funny?! ”
Bai Ze's exclamation made Xiao Yang, who had just raised up, chuckle lightly, as if he had heard something interesting.
And that smile is really inexplicably gentle, Bai Ze even secretly muttered to himself when he saw this, if a woman smiled at him like this, it would make people feel a heart-pounding, but at this moment, the other party was a "strange beast" with a black face, and he just felt a little weird.
"Childe's understanding is not wrong, but let me say it carefully: the nymph fairy was originally transformed by the yin energy in the spirit of stone and wood, and the natural formation was a woman's form, and I was formed by a wisp of yang qi divided from her, which is naturally a male; And the mountain ghost mentioned in Chu Ci is actually a mountain spirit like me, the woman is just a witch who calls the mountain god, but it is not her who takes the red leopard to follow the civet, and the reason why it is called a mountain ghost is not because of the incarnation of yin qi, but just has not been canonized as a god, and it is just called a ghost and god for the time being. ”
"You are obviously just formed by a stream of aura, how do you still know the book "Mountain Ghost"? Are today's elves so knowledgeable? ”
Unexpectedly, he was given a popular science face by the other party, which made Bai Ze stunned and curious.
"Childe is wrong, and this is only thanks to you, it is the article "Mountain Ghost" that comes to your mind that has become the foundation of my current formation and enlightenment - it is because of this change that I can more truly understand the true meaning of this sacrifice."
Xiao Yang turned around in place, showed his appearance at the moment, and explained with satisfaction and joy.
"Very good, in this way, it can be regarded as indirectly satisfying my wish to raise a monkey."
Bai Ze, who said this, took a step forward, put his palm on Xiao Yang's head, which was less than a meter high in front of him, rubbed the top of the hair with thick bristles, and smiled pleasantly.
"Uh, that, Childe, I'm a mountain god anyway, although the prototype is indeed a baboon, yes, it's better not to mention this verse if you can."
Looking at the "mountain god" boy in front of him who looked more like a man than an ape, Bai Ze couldn't help but smile dumbly, shaking his head and stretching out his hand.
I saw that in the courtyard thousands of meters away, a huge peach hanging on the branch drooped a little abruptly, and at the same time, a ruddy and fruitful fruit came out of the palm of the young man's outstretched hand, and handed it to Xiao Yang, who was unwilling to do so, but still honestly stood there to accept the "head touching" given by the young man.
"You are a blessed one, these many aura-filled melons, fruits, pears and peaches that are abundant here today are just in line with your taste, and they will also help you improve your cultivation and boost your spirituality, speaking of which, as a mountain god inheritance that has been handed down in the Spring and Autumn Period, even if you can only inherit one or two from it, Xiao Yang's ability should be quite extraordinary, right?"
Xiao Yang, who took the fruit handed by Bai Ze, was not pretentious, and took it in front of him and sniffed it slightly, his expression was suddenly correct, and after hurriedly rubbing the epidermis to clean up, he stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite - after biting down on this bite, it was obvious that Tao Taoran's intoxicated color emerged, and the whole person looked as if he was about to ascend to immortality, and stood there motionless for a long time, and then he exhaled a long breath and came back to his senses.
"The aura in this fruit is really strong and terrifying, and it contains a trace of extremely pure earth-walking divine power, which is a rare treasure for a wild road like me who has some mountain god priesthood - it's a pity that the strength is not good, just this bite of absorbed divine power is already a little difficult to digest, and I may have to eat this apple alone for a full day or two."
Although there was a sense of helplessness and regret in the words, the smile on his face was a very straightforward reflection of his happy mood at the moment.
After all, just one fruit can benefit it a lot, and in the distance, with its connection between the lands, how many thousands of fruits hang on the branches? I think that one day, if he is allowed to accumulate enough divine power and condense a trace of divinity, when the opportunity comes, maybe he can really be a serious mountain god master!
With Xiao Yang, who happily hugged the peaches that had bitten a bite, and returned to the main courtyard with great interest because he saw a lot of wonders, Bai Ze felt that it was time to go home for breakfast, so he instructed Xiao Yang, who claimed to have the ability to regulate the earth's qi, open mountains and divert water, and control creatures, to familiarize himself with the environment, and took out two of the canned cats he had bought before and gave them to Bai Yuhu and Uginu to eat, and then left this place and returned to his home.
Out of thin air, he stepped on the floor of his bedroom, glanced at the electronic watch on the head of the bed, and showed that it was already half past seven, and the time passed faster than he imagined.
"Brother, good morning~"
Hearing this, he turned his head, and saw that the little girl who was standing in front of his open door in her pajamas was blinking her big eyes and looking at him carefully, and the inquiring gaze with excitement and curiosity stared at the young man a little embarrassed.
"Yo, what's wrong, what do you want?"
Being stared at like this, it felt too weird, Bai Ze twisted his body a little uncomfortably, and asked rhetorically.
"Did you just come back from the 'secret realm'? Sister Qu said that most of the awakened people in this game basically have a half-dimensional space located outside the real world, where the natal demon that cannot exist for a long time in this world can recuperate - can you take me inside to have a look?! ”
"No problem, but now I'm going to have breakfast first, and I'll take you in after dinner, waiting for an eye-opener!"
Haha, Bai Ze immediately walked towards the restaurant, but he didn't see his mother who had already gotten up to prepare anything to eat, but saw his mother tidying up the house.
"Your dad will come back in a while, saying that your cousin has opened a new restaurant nearby and is taking us to the party, so he is going to go, and he didn't prepare breakfast for you - what, do you still want to eat something first?"
While he was talking here, Bai Ze found that his mobile phone was ringing, and when he went back to the house to pick it up, he saw that it was a call from his father.
"Hey, Dad, when are you coming back? Hear my mom say you're going to take us out to dinner? ”
After Bai Ze picked up the phone, he asked directly-he had heard about his cousin's opening a restaurant, but he wasn't sure where it was, and when he heard that it was nearby, he couldn't help but be even more curious.
"That's right, it's agreed to meet at half past nine and have dinner at half past ten, you urge my sister to hurry up and wash and change clothes, I'll be there in a while, let's leave at nine o'clock."
Both sides are vigorous and resolute, a phone call and two sentences are over, and the details will be discussed when we meet.
After hanging up the phone here, I glanced at the clock in the corner of the phone, which was still an hour before departure, but considering the procrastination of the little sister before the trip, it was not too much for her to start preparing now.
