"So, they're just coming to see if a stranger has broken in?" Ying Zheng looked at the distant Luan Bird and asked in a low voice.

"Exactly." Ji Fa said, "Candle Jiuyou has brought back a strange breath, whether it is in the sea or in the sky, they should come and investigate as usual, it is estimated that when they see that the old man is coming, they will also go back."

It seems that Ji Fa is still a frequent visitor here, and the relationship is quite solid.

It's no wonder that part of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was compiled by Ji Fa, and naturally it is also the Nine Shadows World that he has traveled for a long time.

Otherwise, what are you doing idle for more than 800 years?

At this moment, I heard a rustling sound behind me.

The three of them looked back and saw that Twenty-Seven had already tidied up his abdominal pouch and was rolling on the ground.

Looking at the epidermis of Twenty-Seven again, it is no longer the original color, after all, after the impact of the red stream and the blue stream, it must have been damaged.

"It's processing its own epidermis." Ji Fa said as he walked towards Twenty-Seven.

Ying Zheng also followed curiously.

"It's been a hard trip." Ji Fa said politely.

"Hmph." Twenty-seven said disdainfully, "If it weren't for my old friendship with you, I wouldn't have made this more trip this year, and now it seems that I will molt again in advance."

"What, this shuttle through the stratum still affects molting?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Of course." Candle Jiuyou turned over and spit out the snake letter, "This one back and forth, the outer skin is naturally damaged, and after repairing itself, it will accumulate a thicker epidermis than before, and after a long time, of course, it will molt."

This reason is easy to understand, but I don't know if other snakes are also molting because of this.

"Due to the large size of the candle eye family, it often takes more than a month to molt once." Ji Fa added, "And after completing the molt, it will take more than a year, and I can't shuttle between the Nine Shadows and the Nine Heavens."

"Hiss......" Twenty-Seven said, spitting out the snake letter, "it's hard to molt."

"The seniors have worked." Ying politician said.

"Siha......" Twenty-Seven seemed to smile and said, "You guys talk first, and go to the sea this year to replenish some energy."

With that, Twenty-Seven circled half a circle and dived into the sea against the beach.

"Why did it say it was gone?" Ying Zheng seemed to be afraid that Twenty-Seven would leave and leave them here.

"It must be hungry, and it must have gone fishing in the sea." Ji Fa said.

"This twenty-seven is so big, how many fish do you have to eat?" Ying Zheng's mind imagined the picture of Twenty-Seven fishing.

"Hehe, we don't have to worry about it." Ji Fa smiled and said, "Let's go up there and take a walk."

"Hmm." Ying Zheng answered, followed Ji Fa off the beach, and climbed towards the lonely tree at the top.

The soil of this Xuanwu Island is indeed dense, and it is hard to step on, and in some places it is layered, quite a tortoiseshell style.

"Senior, is there really a huge turtle underneath this island?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but be curious, and asked in a low voice, with that expression, as if he was afraid of alarming the old turtle below.

"Since there is such a statement, it must not be groundless." Ji Fa replied, "It's just that it's not known whether it's a turtle or just a shell that has shed off here, and maybe the old turtle has already traveled all over the world."

Ying Zheng was amused in his heart, and then remembered the tortoise shell engraved with ancient characters he had found, so he said with a smile: "This is something interesting, our ancestors carved an inscription on the tortoise shell as a souvenir. But the old tortoise built an island on top of the tortoiseshell and planted a tree."

Li Si said, "This size and weight are different, of course the purpose is different."

"Hahaha." The two laughed together.

Let's talk about it, and the three of them have already boarded

Mountaintop.

The field of vision was wider, and Ying Zheng slowly turned around in place, only to see that the vast sea was all around, and there was no other land or island in sight.

It seems that this Xuanwu Island is really an isolated island, and it is still a small island that is not too big, and the radius is only three or four miles.

The shape of this lonely tree on the top of the mountain is also very interesting.

Its roots, in the shape of a disc, have relatively regular markings on it, very similar to tortoise shells, and the four corners, there are four thick roots that resemble turtle feet.

On top of the tortoiseshell-like roots, two trunks of the same thickness are intertwined and grow upward, like two giant snakes intertwined with each other.

Then look at the top of the left and right sides, branches and leaves, and on the inside of it, you can see that there are many fruits.

Although the leaves are green, the color of the fruit on both sides is different, the left one is red, and the right one is green.

"This tree is also called the Basalt Tree." Ji Fa raised his hand, pointed to the left and right fruits, and said, "The green one is called Xuanguo, and the red one is called Wuguo, eating these two fruits is good for your body."

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly showed brilliance, and he looked up at the red, red, green and green fruits.

It's just that it's so high, it's not easy to get on.

But before Ying Zheng could say anything, he saw Ji Fa squatting down and picking up a few gravel from the ground.

Holding these gravels in his left hand, Ji Fa picked up one casually with his right hand, spotted the fruit on the tree, and flicked it upwards with force.

In the next instant, a green fruit landed in front of Ying Zheng impartially, along with a few leaves.

Ji Fa made a few operations quite casually, and Ying Zheng was stunned.

With this kung fu, why do you need to fly a crossbow?

Li Si saw that Yingzheng did not move, so he bent down to pick up the green fruit. The moment his fingers touched the fruit, a wicked smile seemed to flash in Li Si's eyes.

"Give, Your Majesty." Li Si handed the green fruit to Ying Zheng's hand, and his face was no longer a little strange.

"Oh." Ying Zheng came back to his senses and reached out to take the fruit.

Ji Fa took a few leaves just now, wiped the fruit in Yingzheng's hand with it, and said calmly: "This Xuanwu fruit is a forbidden fruit for the mortal world, but for our Tiancheng lineage, it is a very beneficial thing, and we are not considered to eat it secretly, so you can enjoy it with confidence."

Where did Ying Zheng know any allusions to stealing the forbidden fruit, he responded and took a bite directly.

The green fruit was quite sweet and refreshing, and Ying Zheng seemed to be thirsty, so he ate it all in one go, but until he finished eating, he didn't see Ji Fa get down the red fruit.

Ji Fa seemed to see Ying Zheng's doubts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the red fruit, wait until you are thirsty before eating."

"Okay." Ying Zheng responded, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "Senior, now that you have reached the Nine Shades, what should you test, you can take the test, the junior is ready."

"Hahaha......" Ji Fa laughed, "Didn't you recognize the group of bass fish and the luan bird just now, so what else is the test?"

Ying Zheng: "......"

What?

That's it?

The widow has been carrying it for more than half a year!

Ji Fa stretched out his hands, gestured around, and said with a smile: "Besides, look here, apart from this old tree, what other questions can the old man come up with to test you?"

Yes, what is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is all about the description of snakes, insects, birds and beasts, and this is an isolated island, what can be tested?

Ying Zheng's original intention was to recite the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but now it seems that Ji Fa did not want to use that method.

Well, it probably has something to do with the educational philosophy.

But at this moment, I saw Ying Zheng's brows tightened and he gave up

said to Ji Fa, "Senior wait here, and I will be with you for a while."

Ji Fa seemed to know what Yingzheng's situation was, and waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Ying Zheng bowed, and then walked away with a grin.

Seeing that Yingzheng was walking away, Li Si came to Ji Fa's side with a smile

Yi whispered, "Master, why don't you tell him about the efficacy of this Xuan Fruit?"

"Hehe, let him experience it for himself." Ji Fa also lowered his voice and said, "If we directly tell him that this fruit is detoxifying and decontamination, I think he will hesitate, wouldn't it be better."

Li Si shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This fruit tastes good, and the results of the effect are quite useful, but this process is ...... It's a little uncomfortable."

"If there is no wind and rain, there will be no rainbow." Ji Fa said, "Whether you know it or not, this step must be taken."

"That's right." Li Si nodded, and instead asked, "Master, did the two fruits you gave your disciples eat here back then from this basalt tree?"

"Well, it's this one." Ji Fa looked up at the canopy above and said, "There are not many basalt trees in the Nine Shades, if there is no tortoise shell and snake molt to nourish together, it will be difficult to survive, and this is our transit point, which is naturally very convenient."

"Oh, that's right." Li Si's face showed curiosity, and he asked, "Is this the kind of fruit that Master said said in the Western legend that a man and a woman secretly tasted the forbidden fruit?"

Ji Fa nodded and said, "According to legend, this is the result, but the reason and process are unknown, and the later generations in the West have different versions of this, but they must all be deified versions."

The two were chatting, when they saw Ying Zheng holding his stomach with his hands, frowning, and turned out from the side.

"How do you feel?" Ji Fa asked.

"It's uncomfortable." Ying Zheng's voice was a little weaker than before, "It's still a little uncomfortable. Senior, isn't this fruit poisonous?"

"Hehe, this fruit is not poison, but a cure." Ji Fa said.

"Good medicine?" Ying Zheng asked in amazement.

"Well, the function of this Xuan Fruit is to remove all the filth accumulated in your body, so that your physique can be further strengthened." Ji Fa explained.

Ying Zheng's brows moved, but he grinned but didn't say anything.

At this time, Li Si took out a small package from his carry-on bag and handed it to Ying Zheng.

"What is this?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Some tattered cloth." Li Si smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Perhaps, the king will use it."

Ying Zheng grabbed the cloth bag, turned around and said, "Wait a little longer, I still want to go."

Before the words fell, Ying Zheng disappeared around the corner.

Ji Fa and Li Si looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Just like this, I don't know how many times I tossed back and forth, after Ying Zheng staggered back, he sat on the ground with his butt and gasped for breath, as if he was seriously ill.

Ji Fa squatted in front of Ying Zheng and asked softly, "Does your stomach still hurt?"

Ying Zheng shook his head a little weakly, and said softly like a mosquito: "It doesn't hurt so much, but these feet don't seem to obey the call."

"That's good." Ji Fa took out a red fruit from his bosom, wiped it with a leaf, and handed it to Ying Zheng, "Eat this, just eat it."

Ying Zheng's brows condensed slightly, and he hesitated, not knowing whether he should reach out and take it, as if he was afraid that this red fruit would be even more domineering than just now.

"Don't worry, your filth has been removed, and this martial fruit is restored." Ji Fa handed the red fruit in his hand forward again.

Ying Zheng reached out and took it, first sniffed it, and then just tried to take a small bite.

The strange thing is that after the flesh is in the stomach, Yingzheng's legs are not soft.
