By the time we got back to the village, it was already noon! Zhu Qing became the new patriarch without accident, and the three elders and their families were also naturally blasted out of the village, and the clansmen also put on a banquet like a New Year

And Hu Yifei and I are happy that Master Zhang has taken Lin Zi to the village, Zhu Qing, as the new patriarch, is eating and drinking with the clansmen in the big square, and Hu Yifei and I and the old patriarch are upstairs to solve the Gu for Lin Zi!

The process of unraveling the Gu was very fast, the old patriarch released his Golden Cicada Gu, and then controlled the Golden Cicada Gu into the body of the forest; Because the level of the Golden Cicada Gu was higher than that of the Cantile Gu, the Cantile Gu hidden in Lin Zi's body quickly crawled out of Lin Zi's mouth under the deterrence of the Golden Cicada Gu.

It's just that although the Gu worm has come out, the Gu poison still needs to be solved! So the old patriarch prepared some herbs and let us pour them into the forest; It would take a while for Lin Zi to wake up after drinking the medicine, so Hu Yifei and I accompanied the old patriarch in the room to talk about the bronze branch.

"This is a secret ...... that has been passed down to this day by my ancient tribe."

After the old patriarch happily threw out a word, he opened the conversation box and told us about the legend of the bronze branch.

The old patriarch told us that the origin of the bronze tree is said to have come from the mouth of an ancient man called the Ethereal Taoist! This ethereal humanist is profound, and he has reached the point of reaching the pinnacle and has lived for more than 200 years! And by the time he was more than two hundred years old, he had already cultivated to the realm of pseudo-immortals!

It's just that after reaching the point where he is about to become an immortal at the end of his lifespan. Therefore, in order to prolong his lifespan, the Ethereal Daoist checked all the allusions in history, and finally came up with a method, that is, to build a ladder to ascend to the sky, and use the ladder to ascend to the heavenly palace to steal the elixir of life!

Moreover, in order to build the Ascending Steps, he also used the secret of immortality to tempt the emperor at that time to send a large number of laborers for his use, and it took twenty years of hard work to finally complete the construction of the Ascending Steps!

After completing it, the Ethereal Daoist really ascended to the Heavenly Realm, and he didn't know how to steal the elixir! And after stealing the elixir, he used his ** force to close the intersection leading to the Ascending Steps, and no one could enter without a key, and this key to the Ascending Steps was the entire part of this bronze stump in my hand!

It's just that later, the ethereal Taoist who succeeded in renewing his life never appeared again! Some people say that he cultivated to become an immortal and went to the immortal world! Some people also say that he stole the elixir and was discovered by the immortals of the upper realm, and the form and spirit of the fight were destroyed, and even the key to enter the heavenly steps was broken into many pieces and fell into various places in the world without a trace.

"That's a bit too mythical, isn't it?"

Listening to the old patriarch talk about this, Hu Yifei and I both looked at each other and smiled, and there was no way to accept such a statement, after all, the story told by the old patriarch is indeed a bit fantastical in our current opinion!

"I don't think it's real, but the bronze branch does exist......"

The old patriarch seemed to have expected that we would not believe this legend, so he continued to tell us what was going on.

The old patriarch said that the first patriarch of the ancient clan was a great wizard, and the great wizard accidentally found a bronze stump in a large tomb when he was walking the rivers and lakes, and noticed that there was a wisp of remnant soul on it, and this story was actually told to him by the wisp of remnant soul on the bronze stump!

And the wisp of remnant soul told him that he was an ethereal Taoist, but he was beaten by the gods of the upper realm, and only this wisp of remnant soul remained; And it also tells the Great Wizard that there is a big secret on the bronze stump, and hopes that he can keep it, and if someone comes to find the bronze stump one day, then give the bronze stump to the person who came!

And in return, the remnant soul of this ethereal Taoist taught all the advanced and profound Dao methods he knew to the great wizard, and the remnant soul also told the great wizard that the person who was looking for the bronze stump in the future would prevent a disaster for the Gelao ancient clan, and the great wizard immediately believed in this wisp of remnant soul after receiving those advanced and profound Dao methods, so he agreed to the request of the remnant soul.

And this secret continued for hundreds of years, and the bronze stump became a sacred relic of the ancient tribe, in order to commemorate this ethereal Taoist, the great wizard at that time also poured a bronze tree according to the bronze stump and worshipped it as a tree god!

"So we're the people the Ethereal Ones call them?"

After listening to the old patriarch's story, my heart suddenly set off a wave; If the previous events are indeed a bit mythical, then how can the latter things be explained? After all, although we came here this time to relieve Lin Zi's Gu, it was indeed the factor of bronze stumps in it! Moreover, we did help the old patriarch defeat the Zhuyan wizard in one fell swoop, and avoided a disaster for the Gelao ancient clan!

Could it be that this ethereal Taoist can really be counted thousands of years later? Maybe it's just a coincidence? Obviously, the former is more convincing! More and more, I feel that this is a big plan that someone has deliberately arranged, and we are all part of the plan, but what kind of plan is it? But I can't think of anything!

"Yes, so you are the one who prevented the disaster for my Gelao Gu clan in the prophecy of the Ethereal Daoist, and I will now solemnly return the holy relics to your original owner!"

The old patriarch answered my question seriously, and there was no joke at all! After I saw her beckoning to Zhu Chun at the door, Zhu Chun sent over the bronze stump of the ancient relics of the Gelao Ancient Clan, which had already been prepared!

"What's the secret of this thing?"

I picked up the bronze stump handed over by Zhu Chun, carefully observed and pondered for a while, but I didn't find anything suspicious!

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, let's go eat first! There is only so much I know about this holy relic, and I won't be able to help you in the future, if it is useful to my place in the future, my ancient clan is willing to help you! ”

When the old patriarch saw me holding the bronze stump, he knew that I hadn't come up with anything! At this time, the big square outside was still noisy, and it was almost time to eat, so the old patriarch opened his mouth to remind us!

"That Zhang Tian thanked the patriarch here first!"

Although the old patriarch's words were plain, I could hear the importance of us in what she said; So, I hurriedly thanked her! I don't know if there is anything I need help from the Gelao Gu clan in the future, but now that the secret of the bronze stump has a new eyebrow, maybe I may really need their help in the future, so I didn't deliberately dismiss the old patriarch's kindness!
