Chen Su took Wu Daoxin's explanations to heart one by one, and then followed Wu Daoxin step by step into the secret realm of Tiange. Although there was a peaceful scene all around, with green grass and blue sky, and flowing water, the deeper he went, the stronger the sense of oppression in Chen Su's heart became, and even breathing was a little laborious.
After taking a few more steps forward, Wu Daoxin felt the heaviness of Chen Su's steps, glanced back, and asked, "How is it?"
Chen Su only felt the weight of a thousand catties on his shoulders at this time, and he couldn't breathe, but he still nodded stubbornly, "I can still hold on, master." ”
Wu Daoxin smiled slightly, knowing that Chen Su had no cultivation at all, and the oppression here was not small for him.
Wu Daoxin raised his hand and pointed to an ancient tree not far ahead, Chen Su looked up, but found that the tree looked out of place with the surrounding scene, the ancient tree was more than two zhang high, and there was a vibrant image all around, only this ancient tree had some leaves sporadically, but the size was different, the big one was like a fan, and the small one was only the size of a palm.
Chen Su looked at it for a while, this ancient tree is really too different from the surroundings, "Master, this tree is strange, look at the abundant water and grass here, the soil is fertile, and all things have infinite vitality, how can it be alone, as if it is sick?"
Wu Daoxin was slightly surprised when he heard this, he never thought that this tree would also be sick, but felt that there was some truth, "Maybe the disciple is right, it may be sick." ”
Chen Su looked at it carefully, "Since the master asked me to look at it, it must be unusual, could it be that it is the hundred-leaf spirit peach?"
Wu Daoxin smiled and nodded, "Yes, you are a little clever, it is the Baiye Spirit Peach." Now that you are here, the master still has a few words to explain to you, from here, until the spirit peach, there are still a hundred steps, and every time you take a step forward, the pressure on your body will increase by one point, so remember not to be reluctant, when you feel that you can't bear it, stop. ”
Chen Su nodded after listening, "I will do my best to accompany the master to the last step." ”
"Idiot, what can you do when you get to the last step?" Wu Daoxin smiled when he heard this, "In addition, when you can't bear it and stop, the immortal root will sense it and wrap you in roots, as long as you want, it will send you back here at any time." ”
"I remember, master. Chen Su looked at the Baiye Lingtao in front of him, but secretly made up his mind in his heart to accompany the master as much as possible.
"By the way, there's one more thing. Wu Daoxin said, "When I sit on the knot, a green fruit will be generated on the tree, the green fruit is just beginning, the yuan energy is the most prosperous, you and your father are connected by blood, if you can be at the beginning of the green fruit, with the heart and blood to feed the green fruit, then the healing effect of this green fruit on your father will be greatly improved, although it will not be a living dead and flesh and bones, but as long as a breath remains, you can return to the sky." ”
After Wu Daoxin finished speaking, Chen Su asked eagerly: "Master, then what should I do to support Qingguo with my hard work?"
Wu Daoxin looked directly at Chen Su's face and paused for a moment, "It's just that doing so will greatly damage your body, and even shake your essence, and the degree of damage directly depends on how much effort you expend." ”
"It doesn't matter, my father is very kind to me, as long as I can save my father, but please ask the master to teach me what to do?" Chen Su came to save his father, and Wu Daoxin paid for him like this, when he heard that it could improve the effectiveness of Qingguo, he naturally did not care about the cost.
"It's as simple as the roots wrap you around and you take one and stick it to your chest. It's just that when the fairy root grows in your heart, it hurts a little. Until you have a thought in your heart and let the fairy root send you out, the offering will end naturally. ”
Chen Su nodded and wrote it down, but made up his mind that unless he couldn't hold it, he must maximize the effectiveness of green fruits.
"In that case, I have nothing more to explain. Wu Daoxin said, looking up to the sky and laughing, "Life and death parting is bitter, laughing at the immortals of heaven and earth." Then he didn't look back, and walked towards the Immortal Root Ancient Tree step by step.
Chen Su looked at Wu Daoxin's back, silently following behind, every step he took, the pressure on his body increased by one point, after taking seven steps, his legs trembled a little, and then he looked up at the master, who was already more than twenty steps away. Walked out of his right leg with difficulty again, when he landed, he only felt that the weight on his shoulders increased again, Chen Su's body trembled, and his hands hurriedly supported the ground, so he barely fell, and struggled for a long time before he stood up.
Chen Su tried his best to move forward, but he only took fourteen steps, and when he reached the most, he was already on all fours, lying on the ground, unable to stand up again, but he was still stubbornly moving forward, but every time he moved, the bones of his whole body would creak.
Wu Daoxin walked all the way forward, when he walked to the eighty-three steps, he thought in his heart that his master seemed to have come here back then, and when he thought of this, he looked around, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, so he sat cross-legged on the ground, put his hands on his knees, closed his eyes, and said silently in his heart: "Master and senior brother are above, Wu Xuan's heart is not good, and the hard work of Shizun and senior brother is empty, and after a hundred years, he actually returned here." Thinking of Chen Su again, I couldn't help but sigh that I was weak as a teacher, and the time we got together was short, I just hoped that you could go further than your teacher in the future, but I immediately denied it, hoping that the apprentice would never have to come here. After thinking about it, his heart finally stopped like water, and then he no longer looked back at Chen Su, his mind moved, and on the ground around him, roots of different thicknesses slowly grew, gradually wrapping Wu Daoxin's body, like a cocoon.
Chen Su looked at this situation from a distance, knowing that Wu Daoxin had reached the time of knotting, his heart was miserable, and he shouted twice hoarsely, but Wu Daoxin never answered him again, and tears finally slid uncontrollably across Chen Su's face again and fell on the ground in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, a withered yellow root cocoon has been formed, Wu Daoxin was included in it, never to be seen again, and the hundred-leaf spirit peach, also since the root cocoon was formed, the entire crown of the tree was windless and automatic, the branches and leaves were scattered, rustling, like singing, like crying, like wailing.
Chen Su stared there blankly, letting the time pass minute by minute, and the tears on his face gradually dried, like a wood carving clay sculpture.
I don't know how much time has passed, the space behind Chen Su more than a dozen steps away ripples, showing a figure, it is Jing Cry, Jing Cry looked at Wu Daoxin's root cocoon, his eyes showed a touch of desolation, and said to himself, "After all, you still can't escape such an ending?"
When the spirit cries appeared, on a branch of the hundred-leaf spirit peach, a new bud grew rapidly, and the eye-catching tender green instantly changed to the size of a palm, spreading out, revealing a slightly bewitching blood red inside.
Chen Su still knelt there, and Wu Daoxin had such a short contact, but he formed a master-apprentice relationship, how could he come and go in a hurry, time did not wait, and he had not been on a blind date, and he had already separated.
Seeing that the blood red was beginning to appear, Jing Xi knew that the green fruit of the Dao was about to come to fruition, and with a wave of his big sleeves, a soft force lifted Chen Su up, helped him sit down cross-legged, and said softly: "Elemental sorrow, don't let your master's hard work be in vain." ”
Hearing Jing's words, Chen Su knew that it was time to provide for Qingguo with his own efforts. Although he has sat down cross-legged at this moment, the pressure on his body has not decreased at all, and he has a strong heart, only to see the surrounding soil slightly raised, and then stretched out a strip of roots, just like Wu Daoxin, gradually wrapping himself and forming a root cocoon, the roots will cover the light little by little, Chen Su sat in the root cocoon, stretched out his hand to pull a dead root, and stuck it on his chest, and in an instant he only felt a pain of cutting flesh and bones straight through his chest, and couldn't help but let out a low roar, but his hands held the whisker tightly, refusing to relax at all, and let the pain penetrate all over his body。
Just as Chen Su's root cocoon was about to form, a blue light flashed, and a palm-sized sword appeared, and the sword was gathered in the box, flying around Chen Su's root cocoon, and humming from time to time.
Jing Xi glanced at the sword, knowing that the Dao was 'Mingshuang', and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Xuanxin, why are you suffering, for this child named Chen Su, is it worth paying so much? He is now willing to use his heart and blood to feed your green fruit, just a thought, you can borrow rebirth, start anew, and practice for a hundred years, maybe you are the first person in Qingyuan Sect who can be compared to the Nine Ancestors, at that time, although the world is big, let you be free. But now, you have given up these don'ts, just to bear a green fruit to save the child's father, what are you thinking in your heart? Jing Cry thought as he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and walked towards the root cocoon that Chen Su had formed.
Jing Cry just took two steps, the Ming Frost Sword couldn't stop humming, Jing Cry took two more steps forward, Ming Frost had already begun to tremble, Jing Cry saw it, frowned, simply took three steps forward, Ming Frost was shocked, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Jing Wai, Jing Cry face with thin anger, raised his right hand, slowly held it towards Ming Shuang, and said to himself: "Xuan Xin, Xuan Xin, you left this 'Ming Shuang' sword, is it for me?"
"Knowing that 'Mingshuang' can't stop me, and you still want to stay, although I can't understand your hard work, but since you don't want to be reborn by this child's body, I can only respect your wishes. As soon as he spoke, he shook his hand, and the 'Ming Frost' shot out, still flying on the side of Chen Su's root cocoon.
The heavens and the earth are empty, and all things are clustered.
"Thank you for your success. The old voice of Wu Daoxin came from heaven and earth.
Jing Xi's eyes closed slightly, slowly opened them again, and sighed, "Qibao Boy Wu Xuanxin, now that you have given away all four of them, how can you still be called Qibao Boy?" I really can't understand what you are thinking. Moreover, he volunteered to provide for your green fruit with his heart's work, at this moment, if you use the power of the immortal root to borrow rebirth, you will definitely have a higher cultivation in the future. ”
"As the predecessors said, Xuanxin is sincerely afraid, Xuanxin has no cultivation in this life, and he is already ashamed of his teacher's kindness. Now that he has accepted Chen Yuan as a disciple, how can he bear to take his body and annihilate the teacher's way?"
"At his age, he has no foundation for cultivation, and you will give him the Four Treasures you carry with you, not afraid that he will smear you in the future?"
"I have a sense of seeing this kid late, although he has not cultivated as a foundation, but a piece of filial piety and benevolence, won my heart, since I can't personally guide him, please forgive me for hiding my secrets, and give him three treasures of the sect. As for the green fruit I bought, although it should also stay on the immortal root, but the immortal root has a hundred leaves and nine fruits, it should not be at least mine, not to mention that it is because of the Chen element that I was able to refine my body under the immortal root and bring back the Yuan Dan of my master and senior brother, it is better for me to help him be filial, and it can be regarded as a little thing that I have done for him as a master. ”
After hearing this, Jing Wai shook his head regretfully, "Since you are so willing, I promise you that within Qingyuan, I will help you protect him." ”
"The great grace of the seniors, the disciple of Xuanxin on behalf of Chen Element, thank you. ”
