Chapter Forty-Four: Yuan Tian Wujinmu

After Mei Luoxue defeated Zuo Changyue, Zhu Xiaodan and Mu Caidie hurriedly left the ring.

It's so disgusting here.

Zhu Xiaodan only felt that the breakfast he ate at the inn this morning had been completely vomited.

Staying in the ring for a long time felt tormented, and the bloody aura in the air had not dissipated yet.

The two of them hurried to the street outside the town, far from the market entrance.

Yan Wuping naturally didn't follow, he was more interested in the ring than shopping.

On the streets of Fenshui Town, there are not many people at this time. Everyone went to watch the ring competition.

But the shops and stalls are still open as usual, after all, it is still important to make a living.

It doesn't matter which of you wins the competition, who wins the jurisdiction of Fenshui Town, who of you lives or dies, these have nothing to do with us, or take care of your own business is the right way.

Naturally, there are a lot of snacks and delicacies on the street, but the two really don't have this appetite.

So Zhu Xiaodan and Mu Caidie could only wander around the street, and after a while, they went to the cloth village to see the latest clothes, and then went to the jewelry store to pick out two exquisite jade hairpins, and each of them shared one.

The two little birds, Chasing Cloud and Feihong, also followed their buttocks all the time, sometimes flying in the air, sometimes running on the ground.

The two walked on the street for a long time, and unconsciously arrived at the Fen River, when the sun was hanging high in the sky, and it was already noon.

The Fen River flows in the sun, several small boats are fishing on the river, and a row of willows on both sides of the river drag the branches and leaves, the scenery is very pleasant.

The two stood at the head of the Fen River, a spring breeze blowing, and the mood felt comfortable and refreshing.

Mu Caidie said: "After walking for most of the day, I wish you little sister, are you hungry? I have to find something to eat." ”

Zhu Xiaodan felt that he vomited so much in the morning, and he hadn't eaten until now, and his stomach was empty, so he smiled and said, "Okay! ”

She looked around and saw a crowd of taverns lining the streets, and suddenly remembered the tavern where steamed crucian carp and boiled river prawns were delicious.

"Sister Mu, what do you think of that Pingchuan tavern?" Zhu Xiaodan almost drooled when he thought of the smell of shrimp.

Mu Caidie agreed without thinking about it, she had also seen the deliciousness of Pingchuan Tavern, if she didn't eat here twice now, then I am afraid that she would not be able to eat it again after leaving Fenshui Town.

When he arrived at the door of the Pingchuan Tavern, he saw that this tavern was too simple, and Mu Caidie couldn't help frowning: "Alas, I really can't understand why such a famous tavern is deliberately so shabby? I'm afraid there is something wrong with the shopkeeper's brain." ”

She shook her head, sighed and walked into the tavern, only to find that Zhu Xiaodan did not follow up. Looking back, Zhu Xiaodan was still standing at the door of the tavern, looking up and not knowing what he was looking at, he seemed to be fascinated, and his expression was very strange.

Mu Caidie had no choice but to walk out again and asked, "Zhu Xiaomei, what are you looking at here?" She looked at Zhu Xiaodan's eyes, and saw the tattered ebony plaque, the four words carved with a knife in the Pingchuan Tavern, which looked even more lame and ugly at this time.

A broken plaque, what's so good-looking, could it be that Zhu Xiaomei is so hungry that she is delirious? Mu Caidie couldn't help but sigh again.

But Zhu Xiaodan was stunned, at first her eyes were just a little strange, and then slowly turned into a little surprised, and in the end, her eyes were full of surprise and joy.

"Is this broken wooden plank a legendary ...... Yuan Tian Wujinmu?" Zhu Xiaodan's mouth trembled, and she muttered to herself, her expression seemed a little incredulous.

"What are you talking about?" Mu Caidie still heard it clearly, although Zhu Xiaodan said it very quietly.

"Bah, this piece of broken wood is the legendary golden wood?" Mu Caidie suddenly felt a heart-shaking nausea, but unfortunately he couldn't vomit it.

She pulled Zhu Xiaodan's sleeve: "Let's go! Let's eat, this broken plank, what kind of gold wood!"

"No, Sister Mu, you don't know. Zhu Xiaodan stood but didn't move, staring at this ebony plank, his expression was very excited, "I will never be mistaken, this must be the legendary piece of Yuan Tian ebony wood, it must be wrong." ”

Mu Caidie said silently: "Oh, I said Zhu Xiaomei, this tavern is a little family, find a piece of broken wood to make a plaque, by the way, what kind of gold wood are you talking about?"

Zhu Xiaodan slowly came back to his senses at this time, and said with a solemn face: "According to ancient legends, it was originally a medicinal tree in the Heavenly Court Shouxing Terrace, named Yuan Tian Medicine Tree. Xi Mu Niang Niang had in a peach banquet due to excessive drinking, head disease recurrence, the imperial doctor of the heavenly court was ordered to go to the birthday star platform to collect medicine prescriptions, during the period this tree actually fell three times in a row, the imperial doctor collected the medicine bottle crushed three times, has delayed the opportunity to decoction, Xi Mu Niang was furious, ordered to cut down this Yuan Tian medicine tree, relegated to the underworld, after the tree went down to the underworld, the branches and leaves were made into a book of life and death by one of the ten palace kings of Chujiang, and the trunk was abandoned in the ninth layer of hell, specially for the splashed residual oil that contained the fried soul of the oil pot. ”

"The flood in ancient times, countless deaths and injuries, mourning everywhere, there were many ghosts in the underworld for a while, the book of life and death made of the branches and leaves of the Yuan Tianyao tree could not be accommodated, the king of Hades was furious, and ordered the trunk of this tree to be used to make a book of life and death, but after the trunk fell into the casting furnace, it actually held 36,000 souls of hell, rushed out of the underworld, and fell into the world. ”

Mu Caidie was dumbfounded when she heard this, she couldn't believe such ghost rumors: "Then this broken ebony plank, how do you know that it is the trunk of the underworld?"

Zhu Xiaodan said slowly: "After this Yuan Tian trunk fell into the world, it appeared in overseas foreign lands, and was later made into three wooden planks, my ancestor Zhu Hezi had seen one of them in a wild tribe when he traveled overseas, so I know that this plaque must be the legendary Yuan Tian black gold wood, and it must not be wrong." Her expression was categorical, as if she were very sure.

She continued: "Sister Mu, I don't believe you can take a closer look at this plaque. She pointed to the broken ebony in the tavern.

When Mu Caidie heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and carefully examine this piece of wood.

At first, I didn't think anything was abnormal, but after looking at it for a while, I saw that this plank was indeed different from ordinary wood. Although it is dark and worn, it looks old, but the texture seems to be a little golden in the sunlight, and if you look closely, those golden lines will still move, spreading around like ripples from top to bottom. Crucially, the plaque also seems to be wrapped in a layer of mist, which circulates up and down the plank.

Mu Caidie frowned, still thinking it was unlikely, and said, "If this piece of wood is so good in the legend, how can it be casually thrown outside by this tavern to eat and sleep in the open, isn't it a tyrannical thing?"
