At night, there are no lights, on the soft grass, the moonlight is mottled, the shadow of the brocade banyan is spread and extended, and the vines entwined on it together form a puzzling pattern, and the insects sing and harmonize, and the murmuring of the water can be faintly heard.

The formation of the hoof elephant herd is still the same, silent, the little hoof elephant that sent Xiao Cong and others here before brought some food at this time, and told them not to light a fire, at this time Xiao Cong was surprised to find that the small hoof elephant that cultivated to the realm of heaven can also speak out, this race is not going against the sky? But think about it further, language is just a physiological function, and the voice of the living beings can be freely adjusted to adapt to different sounds, which is only a small aspect of physical transformation, and the hoof elephant clan is so powerful and rich in heritage, it seems that it is not worth mentioning what secret method or secret treasure can help the younger generations "open their voices", so this matter makes sense.

The food brought by the little hoof elephant was not very rich - the tasteless leaves of the tree, but all of them were rare treasures, this kind of thing was a good thing for refining medicine, and it was naturally a good thing to replenish vitality during the battle, but in this situation, it was really a bit difficult to swallow.

But as the old saying goes, the guest is as he pleases, since he came to someone else's territory, he should accept other people's hospitality, and it is a bit rude to pick and choose, in fact, everyone has the intention of eating their own dry food and collecting these golden things for emergencies, but they still tacitly did not implement it, not to mention anything else, such unproductive behavior, it is easy to be looked down upon.

So he took these leaves as a side dish, and nibbled on dried meat and made a meal.

After eating, there was nothing to do, and a few people chatted again, the topic was casual, and it did not involve the slightest trace of the hoof elephant, because everyone knew how terrible the patriarch of the hoof elephant standing in the middle of the elephant herd was ten zhang away, and he didn't need to hear what they were talking about, just by virtue of the perception of mental fluctuations, he could know it clearly.

The chat time that was originally used for recreation was not very long, only a little more than two quarters of an hour, and after the atmosphere was bleak, everyone fell asleep one after another, and no one was left on duty, and there was nothing to say all night.

Xiao Cong entered the long-lost dreamland, this sleep was extraordinarily sweet, the old tree was psychic, the field was soft and comfortable, and it could naturally give the people around him a different kind of enjoyment, and as Xiao Cong, who already had spiritual power, Xiao Cong also had a wonderful feeling with the old banyan tree in his dream.

The dream is a fairyland-like green mountains and green waters, far away at the foot of the mountain, there is a delicate grass shed, under the grass shed sits a white-haired but energetic old man, and somehow, across the distance, Xiao Cong did not open the purple eyes, but the appearance of the old man is still so clear, the appearance of the old man is not much different from the ordinary old man in the memory, the only remarkable thing is that the pair of eyes that should be muddy but still vibrant, like two deep and hidden treasures in the spiritual spring, it is too profound.

Xiao Cong only took one step, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the old man's approach, he already knew that this was a dream, so he was not very surprised by this.

The old man stood with his hands in his hands, his white clothes fluttering, and when Xiao Cong came closer, he bowed his hands at the right time, his movements were light, and his voice was warm and gentle.

"Xia Ling Fu Rong, meet Your Excellency. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Cong knew that his identity had been exposed again, so he smiled reluctantly, and said in his heart: "Didn't Master say that Longyu is the best secret treasure? Why is it getting worse and worse, or is it that the cultivation of this old banyan tree has reached an unfathomable realm?"

Thinking in his heart, he replied:

"The seniors are really tormenting the juniors, and the juniors should salute you. ”

As he spoke, he had to make a move.

Fu Rong was shocked and hurriedly stopped Xiao Cong,

"You can't respect the top, the lower spirit really can't stand it, we old bones are the most likely to attract the catastrophe, God can watch it. ”

Xiao Cong's face froze slightly, and he said without thinking:

"The cultivation of the predecessors is still in the Heavenly Realm?"

Fu Rong smiled and bowed,

"Exactly. ”

"How do you ...... that?"

As if he knew what Xiao Cong meant, the smile on Fu Rong's face deepened a little, and he replied without waiting for Xiao Cong to finish asking:

"The dragon jade secret treasure that the Venerable carries with me, I can't easily recognize the identity of the Venerable, and I can't even meet you like this, I just feel a trace of the breath of hometown here in the Venerable, so I discussed with it and begged to meet the Venerable, maybe the Venerable doesn't know yet, it is also psychic. ”

Xiao Cong's mouth opened slightly, what surprised him was not Longyu Tongling - he knew this as early as when he went to Youlan Valley, what surprised him was the breath of Fu Rong's hometown, the implication of this sentence is that the ancient Zhou Plain is not a native of Fu Rong, but Xiao Cong himself has been to a lot of places, and he really can't remember seeing similar Jinxu Banyan in other places, and the place he has been to is not a Longtan tiger's den for this strong man in the Heavenly Realm, so he should not be so excited or even so excited.

"What is your hometown?" Xiao Cong asked tentatively.

Fu Rong's face began to be uncontrollably excited,

"The hometown of the lower spirit is the lost ancient land, I don't know how the Venerable went in and how the whole body retreated, I just ask that if the Venerable goes back to the lost ancient land, he can take me, or tell me the way to go back, as long as the Venerable can help me return to my hometown, Fu Rong swears with the most vicious curse of his hometown, and is willing to be loyal to the Honored Lord, and go to the soup and die forever!"

Knowing what was going on, Xiao Cong couldn't help but sigh faintly,

"Senior, to tell you the truth, I haven't been to the Lost Ancient Land, I've only come into contact with people who have come out of the Lost Ancient Land like you, so I've been contaminated with your breath. ”

An unbelievable expression appeared on Fu Rong's face,

"Impossible, only creatures who have entered their hometown will carry the breath of their hometown!"

As soon as he thought of the old mulberry tree, Xiao Cong felt a little helpless, and said abruptly:

"You are not the only creature who came out of the Lost Ancient Land, when I was in danger and almost died when I was training in the Sunset Mountains, it was a senior like you who used up all the life essence to save me, so I inherited some of his things, probably, including the breath of your hometown. ”

Fu Rong's brows furrowed, thoughtful, for a while,

"Sunset Mountains, Your Excellency said, but the mulberry tree?"

Xiao Cong nodded,

"The ontology of the predecessor is indeed a mulberry tree. ”

"He has fallen, this ......" There was an indescribable bitterness in Fu Rong's voice, like tasting a jar of poorly sealed old wine, with a faint aftertaste in infinite regret.

"Then, the Tianshan Holy Moth ......" Fu Rong asked again, but he stopped talking.

Xiao Cong replied honestly,

"I have seen the light of day again, and the body of the old mulberry tree is missing. ”

"Did the Venerable Honor save her?"

Xiao Cong nodded,

"This is the old mulberry tree's predecessor's deathbed entrustment, and the younger generation must do it. ”

Fu Rong's eyes were full of gratitude and appreciation, and he smiled with relief:

"The Honorable Masters are worthy of being a masterpiece of a generation, maybe this is the best ending for them. ”

Xiao Cong couldn't help but sigh again, and asked casually:

"Why did you leave the Lost Land?"

Fu Rong smiled bitterly,

"Alas, this matter is really hard to explain, do not hide from the superior, the lower spirit was also brought out by the hateful praying mantis spirit, but he didn't notice me, so he accidentally left me in a place near the Sunset Mountains, so many years have passed, I have forgotten where I am, and then I went through a lot of things, and finally came to live in this ancient Zhou Plain, now think about it, alas, it is really providential to make people. ”

Xiao Cong will be skeptical,

"You mean, you were unintentionally brought out by the Great Knife Mantis when they stole the Tianshan Holy Moth?"

Fu Rong nodded with a smile,

"Exactly. ”

"That's not right, after all these years, you should ......"

Out of politeness, Xiao Cong wanted to speak and stopped, but did not say it thoroughly.

It doesn't matter if Xiao Cong didn't say anything, Fu Rong still understood after all, so he laughed a few more self-deprecatingly and replied:

"At that time, I was still a seed, because I was not adapted to the soil and water, so it was difficult to take root and sprout for a while, but I was able to retain the essence of life, and I was able to break through the soil until I reached the Ancient Zhou Plain, and the cultivation conditions in the outside world were not as good as the lost ancient land, so in the past few years, my cultivation was only in the Tongtian Realm, but compared to my ancestors, my lifespan was indeed longer. ”

"At that time, you were still a seed, isn't that equivalent to the unborn baby of our human race?" Xiao Cong had a strange feeling in his heart, and even his expression became a little weird.

Fu Rong laughed a few more times, and his face became more and more kind.

"That's right, otherwise, how could you be so easily taken out of the Lost Ancient Land by the Mantis Spirit. ”

"Mmmm, it's pitiful and unlucky. Xiao Cong muttered casually, and then asked, "Then you were already conscious when you were still a seed?"

"I am the Golden Banyan royal family, like you human beings, I have an independent consciousness since birth, even in the lost ancient land, I can't take root immediately, but the consciousness is constantly growing and powerful, but unfortunately even if I know the whole process of being brought out by the mantis essence, I still can't find the way back to the lost ancient land. Fu Rong said, sighing again, and the loneliness appeared in the eyes of the white-haired old man, making him look more like a child.

"Then have you ever gone to Sunset Mountain to find the old mulberry senior?"

"Alas, why haven't I been, I've been there several times, Xiaozhi is moved by emotion and reason, a big basket of good things to say, in vain, he was not moved at all, and then I also wanted to open, everyone has their own choice, no one should be embarrassed for anyone, and then I didn't go again, I can't remember how I felt when I lived in my hometown, but for the current life, I think it's still very comfortable, but, if possible, I still want to go home, after all, the leaves fall back to the roots. ”

Although this is reasonable, Xiao Cong always feels that it is not a taste when he listens to it, going home is a particularly sensitive word for him, in order to reduce the bad mood, Xiao Cong began to change the topic,

"By the way, senior, this morning, did anything special happen on the Guzhou Plain?"

Fu Rong was surprised,

"What's the matter, even the Venerable One feels it?"

Xiao Congxin said this is not nonsense, I can't feel that I still ask you?

But Fu Rong continued to reply:

"What is the specific matter, I don't know, since this incident happened, almost the entire Guzhou Plain has entered a state of tension, take the hoof elephant clan as an example, that is the highest defense inherited by their clan, it will not be used easily, and other strong clans have also come up with their own housekeeping skills, from this posture, it is not an exaggeration to say that someone has moved the foundation of the Guzhou Plain!"

"The foundation of the Ancient Zhou Plain?" Xiao Cong was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Fu Rong nodded heavily and swore solemnly:

"Yes, legend has it that a spiritual vein that existed under the Ancient Zhou Plain had been channeled and transformed a long time ago, but no one had ever seen them for a long time, and it was precisely because of them that the Ancient Zhou Plain could show such a prosperous scene......

"It is precisely because of them that the immortal powerhouses such as the Dragon Elephant Ancestor and the Mad Crocodile Great Sage have decided to live on this Ancient Zhou Plain for a long time. Xiao Cong's face was gloomy, and then Fu Rong's words said.

"Your Excellency is right, but not all of these strong people covet that spiritual vein, and many of them are here to protect the spiritual vein from being violated. ”

Xiao Cong was surprised,

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"Because legend has it that if you can completely devour this spiritual vein, the benefits are too great, and the monks below the Qitian Realm can't afford it at all, and the Tongtian Realm is a sensitive period for the monks, and the slightest carelessness will attract heavenly punishment, so most of these Tongtian Realm powerhouses entrenched in the Ancient Zhou Plain are here to protect the spiritual vein, in order to accumulate a merit so that God can open the net when breaking through the level in the future, and some of them have the idea of non-separation。 ”

Xiao Cong thoughtfully,

"Then according to the meaning of the seniors, someone has already done something to the spirit vein?"

"I'm afraid so. ”

"But in such a big battle, why can't we notice the slightest movement?"

Fu Rong frowned, thought seriously for a long time, and then replied,

"This is also a question I've been pondering, it stands to reason that in the battle of Qi Tian Realm, even if the Guzhou Plain has its own barrier that can protect the forest from being destroyed, it must not be able to move at all, the calmer the waves, the bigger the matter will definitely be, maybe this time it is not robbing, it is stealing!"

"Stealing, no matter how clever you steal, it won't be so silent. ”

"Either that's something wrong with the spirit vein!"

"In other words, there may be an unprecedented storm on the Guzhou Plain in the near future?"

Fu Rong nodded solemnly, his expression was very solemn,

"What the Venerable can perceive, those Qi Tian Realm powerhouses lurking in the depths of the Ancient Zhou Plain may not be able to feel it, maybe the reason why it is so peaceful is because the storm is coming. ”

"Then according to the high opinion of the seniors, where should we go?"

Fu Rong was stunned for a long time, and said earnestly:

"Xia Ling knows that Zun Shang is going to go through the Ancient Zhou Plain to the Great Wilderness, but now there is such a thing, it is really inopportune, Xia Ling sees, Zun Shang should go back quickly, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, besides, this road Zun Shang has already walked once, and it must be easy to go again, and the loss is just a little time. ”

"What about you?"

"Me?" Fu Rong smiled bitterly, "Although Xia Ling was not born in the Ancient Zhou Plain, after all, he grew up in the Ancient Zhou Plain, and was blessed by the spiritual vein, so he has such a look now, this is the cause and effect of me and him, I can't just walk away like this, even if it is only to contribute a little bit of my own small strength, it will not be panicked in the future." ”

"That's a quasi-immortal of the Qi Heaven Realm, if you fall here, you won't be able to return to the lost ancient land in the future. ”

Fu Rong shook his head,

"If you do such unrighteous things, you will have no face to go back to your hometown to meet your ancestors, and besides, who can say so accurately about life and death. ”

Xiao Cong groaned, thought for a moment, and asked:

"Do seniors think that there are many strong people on the Guzhou Plain who sincerely protect the spiritual vein?"

Fu Rong smiled coldly,

"There is no such thing as being true or insincere, to put it mildly, if there is a real opportunity, I will also have the idea of taking the spiritual vein as my own, and these strong people who protect the spiritual vein, firstly, they are not used to seeing the spiritual vein being seized by others, and secondly, the spiritual vein supports the prosperity of the ancient Zhou Plain, and they can't bear to lose such a piece of treasure land, so even if they are quasi-immortals of the Qi Heaven Realm, if they want to get the spiritual vein, they have to weigh it. ”

Xiao Cong smiled,

"Then since that's the case, the younger generation doesn't plan to leave. ”

"Why, Your Excellency is also interested in that spiritual vein?"

Xiao Cong shook his head,

"I don't dare to think about it, I just think that such a chaotic scene should be able to cross the Guzhou Plain more smoothly than usual, and now that the storm has not risen, the strong people from all walks of life are ready to go, how can we have the leisure to care about our little sparrows, if all the strong clans want to be like this, then we people can drive straight into the Guzhou Plain unimpeded. ”

Fu Rong said worriedly: "There is some truth in that, but as a Venerable Lord, I am not afraid of 10,000, I am afraid of what happens." ”

Xiao Cong smiled slightly,

"Fame and fortune are in danger, wealth and wealth are in danger, life and death are fate, anyway, this kind of thing is not once or twice for me. ”

Fu Rong sighed quietly,

"The idea of the Venerable is that the superior does not dare to disobey lightly, but I hope that the truth can really be as the Venerable said, have a smooth journey. ”

......

After that, Fu Rong told Xiao Cong about some things about the lost ancient land, it was a strange world, full of spiritual energy, and there were few disputes, but for some reason, the creatures inside could not easily come out, and the creatures outside could not go in, although from ancient times to the present, there were many monks from the outside world who infiltrated the lost ancient land, but because of the curse, the end was basically the same as the big sword mantis, however, as far as Fu Rong knew, at least one survivor survived, as for what identity is now, there is no way to verify.

He also said that there is also a human race living in the Lost Ancient Land, they are herdsmen in the Lost Ancient Land, they do not have the slightest ambition, they live in harmony with all kinds of living beings, they never cultivate, but they naturally obtain extremely high cultivation......
