In the next few days, Hou Fei went to Lao Niu Fort day by day to paint portraits of past monsters, and collected a lot of spirit stones, but he never heard the news of Tu Da again, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

On this day, it was time for the Taipingshan Coming-of-Age Festival.

With the Babel Tree as the center, the monkey clan decorates the entire Babel Ridge.

The coming-of-age festival is the most important day in the life of the monkey people in Taiping Mountain, and it is also an ancient tradition passed down from generation to generation in Taiping Mountain.

Every time the Tongtian Spirit Fruit is ripe, the Taiping Mountain Monkey Clan will hold a coming-of-age sacrifice for those monkey clan monsters who have newly entered the Nine Rank Gathering Spirit Realm and become big demons.

On this day, take a word for the monster who has newly stepped into the realm of nine products, and announce the whole family, after having a word, the name will no longer be used, and everyone will be commensurate with the word.

Then comes the important part of the ceremony: climbing the tree means officially embarking on the path of spiritual practice.

It's just that with the gradual decline of the monkey clan in Taiping Mountain, there are fewer and fewer Jiupin monkey demons participating in the adult sacrifice every time, and there is even only one monkey demon Hou Qi this year.

A hidden place in the mountains behind Tongtian Ridge.

Before the coming-of-age ceremony, Hou Hong was talking to Hou Feibai.

"Time is really fast, in a blink of an eye, Qi'er, you should also be an adult sacrifice." Hou Hong smiled and gestured, "I think back then, when you were just such a small hairy monkey, the old man said that you would definitely be a monkey demon with a lot of potential." ”

"Sure enough, you have only been in the ninth grade for a few months, and the accumulation is so deep that you have advanced to the eighth grade, and it has also triggered the vision of heaven and earth that has been empowered, I have to say, Qi'er, you are a monkey demon with good luck."

Hou Feibai remembered Hou Qi's growth experience, and he was also quite emotional, and said: "Over the years, if it weren't for the patriarch's grandfather's care, Hou Qi probably hasn't awakened yet." ”

"You're a sweet talker." Hou Hong smiled so much that the folds on his face were about to be squeezed out, "Adult sacrifice, have you thought of your words?" ”

Regarding this tradition of the coming-of-age sacrifice, Hou Feibai had already considered it, and immediately replied: "Patriarch Grandpa, I have thought about it, my character will be called Feibai." ”

"Flying white, flying white......" Hou Hong recited these two words softly, and said after a while, "so good, fly high, white and flawless." ”

Hou Hong's words can be regarded as a recognition of this word.

In the Shenqiao, Hou Qi was already very happy because of the coming-of-age sacrifice, as for Hou Feibai calling his word Feibai, Hou Qi didn't care, after all, now he and Hou Feibai are already a two-in-one relationship, and it is convenient to have a unified name.

Hou Hong said in a low voice: "There is another secret matter, which is the foundation of my Taiping Mountain Monkey Clan, and the old man will tell you about it today." ”

According to the record of the Great Wilderness, there are trees in the southeast, green leaves and purple stems, Xuanhua Huangshi, the name is Tongtian, there are thousands of branches, there are nine (zhú), in fact, such as hemp, its leaves are like mangs. It's about my people's Babel tree. ”

Hou Feibai was confused, and he didn't know why Hou Hong told him about the Tongtian Tree at this time, which was something that every monkey demon in the monkey clan knew.

"But, in fact, there is another secret to the Babel Tree, and it is also the secret of why our clan has always insisted on climbing the Babel Tree in the adult sacrifice. This is something that no one knows. Come here, swear to the Babel Tree, you will not divulge this matter, and if you violate this oath, the whole clan will be killed. ”

Seeing that Hou Hong said it seriously and mysteriously, Hou Feibai had no choice but to follow his meaning and make an oath.

"Okay, haha...... With Feibai here, my monkey clan is expected to prosper. Hou Hong laughed heartily, and said after laughing, "Tongtian Tree produces Tongtian Spirit Fruit, which is the common nature of all Spirit Fruits and Spirit Grass in the Great Wilderness, which is not surprising. ”

"The real importance of our clan's Tongtian Tree is a climbing word, which is the most irreplaceable place."

"The Babel tree is a thousand zhang high and divided into three layers, the first layer of branches is born at a height of 100 zhang, the second layer of branches is born at a height of 400 zhang, and the third layer is born at the place of a thousand zhang."

"When you climb the first layer of branches, you polish your physical strength and strengthen your physique."

"When you climb the second layer of branches, you polish the inner power of the divine soul, which can strengthen the divine soul."

"When you climb the third branch, it's willpower that is polished."

"Physique, soul, and will are necessary to step into the path of cultivation, and if there are deficiencies, even if you barely set foot on it, it will be difficult to go far on the path of cultivation. Did you write it down? ”

Hou Feibai nodded again and again.

In this way, the old man was also relieved. Let's go, the auspicious time is coming, and the guests are probably coming, and you are the protagonist of the day. ”

……

The Taiping Mountain Tongtian Tree is thousands of feet high, the crown of the tree is divided into three layers, each layer only extends outward three branches, a total of nine branches, each branch bends into a bow in different directions. Peculiarly, there are no branches between the two layers of canopy, only a bare trunk.

"Let me tell you, what is the most important thing about climbing the Babel Tree? It's persistence! This tree is thousands of feet high! The first layer of branches is born at a height of 100 zhang, the second layer of branches is born at a height of 400 zhang, and the third layer is born at a height of 1,000 zhang. ”

"Layer by layer is more difficult than the floor, which is why there is a saying that the sky is thousands of feet, and nine hundred is half a day. Don't underestimate this last hundred, there were many clansmen who regretted this last hundred. ”

Under the Tongtian tree, there are nine coiled and intertwined root nodes grasping the earth, Hou Xuan sat on the root of the tree, and said to the little monkeys sitting in a circle, among the group of monkeys, a small white fox is particularly conspicuous, but it is not Bai Duoer.

The monkey demons habitually raise their hands to scratch the itch at the back of their heads, and their flexible tails stretch and flex in the air from time to time.

"Brother Xu, you're not right, half of a thousand is five hundred, not nine hundred." A little monkey raised his hand and said.

"Brother Xuan, is the Tongtian Spirit Fruit delicious?" Another little chubby monkey asked curiously.

"You're so stupid! If I become a big demon, I will definitely eat the best spirit fruit in the world! Hou Jiu slapped his face and said.

"I really envy Brother Qi." A little thin monkey looked at Hou Feibai's eyes, starring.

"The coming-of-age festival of Taiping Mountain is to climb the Heavenly Tree?" Bai Duo'er was also very curious, she asked Hou Xuandao.

"The coming-of-age sacrifice to climb the Tongtian Tree is an old tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation in my Taiping Mountain, and it is said that it began 20,000 years ago."

When Hou Xuan talked about this tradition, there was a hint of pride on his face.

Not far away, is a temporary viewing area.

Within thousands of miles around Taiping Mountain, the monsters who are good friends with the monkey clan are invited to come to watch the ceremony, there are many common snake demons, rabbit demons, pig demons, uncommon flower demons, tree demons, and hundreds of demons are sitting densely.

At this time, everyone is also talking.

"If you want me to say, this is the true essence of a clan." One of them, a monster with horns on top of his head, sighed.

"Who's to say it's not, it's not something that the nouveau riche can compare." The other monster chimed in.

"Yo, nouveau riche, you mean to say the Wolf Clan, right?" One of the tiger demons laughed.

Speaking of the Lingshan Wolf Clan, the nearby monsters were a little silent.

In recent years, the Lingshan Wolf Clan has become more and more powerful under the leadership of Dan Xiao, and has become a sword hanging over the heads of all demons.

After all, the silence was short-lived, and a monster said, "You say, Taiping Mountain will invite the wolf clan of Lingshan this time?" ”

"No, Lingshan is always thinking about replacing Taiping Mountain."

Hou Hong and Hou Feibai have returned from the back mountain, and the discussion of the demons fell into his ears, Hou Hong smiled and said to Hou Feibai: "The ambition of the wolf son in the mountain, wait for the adult sacrifice to settle accounts with them!" ”

Hou Feibai nodded and said yes, Lingshan covets the resources and status of Taiping Mountain, and does such a thing in the Taiping Mountain territory, it is indeed necessary to knock it out.

As he was talking, the courtesy monkey demon shouted, "The auspicious time has come!" ”

All the monsters suddenly lowered their voices.

Hou Hong stood up and led Hou Feibai towards the high platform under the Tongtian Tree.
