Chapter 16: The Dragon Scale Jujube Tree

The Hengduan Mountains start from the Tianzang Plateau, stretch for thousands of miles, the mountains are stacked, straight into the sky, non-human can cross, there is only one Nu River, flowing out of the snow-capped mountain holy land of the Tianzang Plateau, thousands of miles, obliquely through the Hengduan Mountains, meandering to the neighboring country of Daqian: Nanzhao.

The Nu River has two tributaries in the Hengduan Mountains, one is the Bijiang River, which is at the top of the Hengduan Mountains, and the other is the Lancang River, which flows through Qingping County at the end of the Hengduan Mountains.

Coincidentally, whether it is the wormwood, or the dodder seed, or the rest of the spiritual grass, it is not far from the Lancang River.

Li Mu seriously suspected that these spiritual grasses were influenced by the Lancang River and were 'full of spiritual energy'.

After receiving the information from Minzhuang, Li Mu immediately went up the Lancang River, followed by the groom and the pony.

The Lancang River is more than 50 meters wide, and the river water is rushing and flowing endlessly.

Along the way, both sides of the river are verdant, and the forests are deep and dense, and the apes and tigers roar in the mountains and forests, startling the birds.

"My lord, I remember here." The groom told Li Mu that when he was a young scholar, he had followed the young master on a cruise and came here to offer incense.

"Incense?" Li Mu was puzzled, "In this kind of place, there are temples?" ”

There are few people here, there is no road and no post station, if you come on foot, ordinary people can not hold on.

Ma Fu said: "Behind the hill in front, there is indeed a mountain temple, relying on the Lancang River, the incense was still prosperous, but later the Lancang River repeatedly flooded, there were many accidents, and there were no believers to come here to incense." ”

Without believers, the temple was abandoned, and it is said that even the bricks and rubble of the walls were hollowed out by the people.

"I remember that there was a jujube tree there that never produced dates, and I don't know if it's still there." Mafu recalled.

As the two were talking, the pony behind him was tired of walking, and he ran to the river, bowing his head to quench his thirst, but a big fish suddenly rushed out of the water, opened its mouth to show its hideous fangs, and bit the pony's head.

The fish is huge, more than two meters long, with a head as large as a basin and a mouth like a black hole full of jagged teeth, devouring the pony.

The pony can't react, and stupidly looks at the fish's mouth that is getting closer and closer.

Fortunately, Li Mu noticed the movement behind him, and swung his backhand sword, and the spiritual power passed through the sword peak, turning into cyan sword qi, and cutting off the head of the fish like a withering and decaying one!

The fish carcass fell into the water, the river suddenly surged, dozens of hideous big fish swarmed in, gnawed at the fish carcass, and then quickly swam away, and after a while, they swam to the shore again, lingering.

The pony finally reacted, frightened the donkey and ran to the groom's feet in a panic, shivering, and the horse's urine came out!

"These fish are going to become demons." The groom glanced at the fangs in the fish's mouth, and he had no doubt that if a human fell into the water, he would definitely end up in the same fate, devoured by the fish!

The aura is revived, not only humans, but also countless beasts in the wild, grass, trees, insects and fish, are also devouring the aura of heaven and earth, Li Mu believes that in the near future, the real demons and monsters will appear in front of the world.

Li Mu felt a hint of urgency.

Because, although he has the ceiling-level cultivation speed of a human being, it is impossible for him to practice twenty-four hours a day, he always has to rest and deal with some miscellaneous things, and the beasts in the wild, they are already in a place rich in spiritual energy, surrounded by strange flowers and plants, they can practice all day and night, not be disturbed by the 'red dust', and can enhance their killing skills by killing each other, this plus one subtraction...... Li Mu's heart is heavy, however, compared with beasts, human beings also have a huge advantage, that is, the countless articles and poems left by their predecessors, Taoist books and Buddha collections, which are the greatest heritage of human beings!

Relying on these, human monks can evolve countless secret techniques, probably to offset the gap between them and demon beasts.

Li Mu thought of the countless poems in his mind, and his heart was a little settled.

The two of them sailed upriver along the Lancang River, winding around the mountains in front of them, their vision instantly widened, and the peaks shrouded in clouds and mist seemed to be close in front of them, lined up in turn as far as their eyes could see, until the horizon.

"Whew~~~" At the same time, a childish tiger roar woke them up.

Li Mu looked for the sound, and saw a tiger calf the size of a milk dog, with golden hair all over his body, mixed with black stripes, white spots, and the word 'Wang' on his forehead was dignified, jumping up and down not far away, grinning at them, and the milk was fierce.

Li Mu hasn't moved yet, the pony at his feet has already rushed out, it has just been frightened by the big fish, and the horse urine has come out, which will see the little tiger that is not as tall as it roars with its teeth bared, and suddenly anger rises from the heart, and the evil is born to the side of the guts, and decides to sprinkle all the anger in the stomach on the head of the little tiger.

A tiger and a horse, suddenly scuffled together, rolling around.

The horseman was very experienced, and said solemnly: "Be careful, the little tiger is here, and the big tiger must be not far away!" ”

The two looked around and saw a large tiger more than three meters long at the foot of the mountain a little farther away.

It's a pity that this big tiger has messy hair all over its body, its bones are misplaced, and it has been dead for a long time, and there is a big python more than 20 meters long next to it, and the snake scales the size of a palm at seven inches are torn by the claws, revealing the white flesh and blood, the smell is fishy, and there are flies and insects flying on it.

"About four or five hours dead." Li Mu said.

"The big tiger is to protect the little tiger, and this giant python will die together?" The groom guessed based on the traces of the scene.

Li Mu shook his head: "It's not for Xiaohu." ”

He pointed to a big tree at the foot of the mountain, this tree is extremely strong, the trunk is like a coiled dragon, deeply rooted in the ground, on the trunk, the branches are luxuriant, lush, and there are small green fruits like fingernails, Li Mu recognized at a glance, this is a date.

"This date palm is extraordinary." Li Mu approached and found that the bark of the jujube tree was like brown dragon scales, which were in the form of sheets, arranged one after another, like a dragon tree, which was extremely strange.

"It's the jujube tree of that temple back then!" The groom exclaimed, and he looked around to make sure that this was the site of the temple back then, but unfortunately, everything except the date tree was gone with the wind.

"Whew~~"

"Yay~~"

Not far away, the tiger roared and the horse neighed, one tiger and one horse fought quite fiercely, one wanted to trample the other under the horse's hooves, the other wanted to press the other under the tiger's claws, they rolled around on the ground, and their hair was covered with dust.

"My lord, this jujube tree ......" The groom found that the jujube tree not only bears fruit, but also has bark like dragon scales, which is to turn into a dragon?

He was shocked and excited, and he stroked the bark excitedly, it was rough and tough to the touch, and he tried to stroke it against the scales, but his finger was punctured by the bark at that time, dripping blood.

"It's the reason for the revival of Reiki." Li Mu is sure that this jujube tree is extraordinary, otherwise this tiger and python will not die together.

That's cheaper for me...... Li Mu immediately ordered the horseman to bury the tiger corpse at the foot of the mountain.

Although the tiger is dead, the breath is especially there, and burying it at the foot of the mountain can deter the beasts on the mountain and make them dare not approach the jujube tree.

Then, Li Mu asked the horseman to scrape off the snake scales of the python and throw it in a dark place nearby to deter snakes, insects, rats and ants, and then bury the python corpse in the middle of the jujube tree and the Lancang River to deter the amphibious creatures in the Lancang River.

But this is only temporary, Li Mu plans to go back and send people here to guard this jujube tree!

At this time, a light breeze blows, and there are bursts of fragrance coming from the jujube tree, which is refreshing.

This jujube should have only been born for a short time, and there is still a few days before it is ripe, but this fragrance is already intoxicating, if it is ripe, I am afraid that a jujube will be comparable to a spiritual grass outside.

No wonder the battle between the tiger and the python is resting to the death, and it is really impossible to give up.

Li Mu's heart was hot.

This is only the periphery of the Hengduan Mountain Range, and there is already such an opportunity, and in the depths of the Hengduan Mountain Range, I don't know how many days of great creation!

He was fascinated, but he also knew that in the depths of the Hengduan Mountain Range, there must be countless terrifying beasts far superior to the tiger python.

It's still necessary to take one step at a time and move forward slowly!
