Chapter X
The sky was about to dawn, and the dark clouds on the horizon dispersed, revealing orange clouds. The mountains are suddenly filled with morning mist, like a fairyland.
Xumo searched all night along the traces left by the wooden vines, and finally found the body of the Tongshan Mountain God, a locust tree hidden in a stone cave dozens of zhang underground.
At the entrance is an ancient well, surrounded by weeds, which has long been hidden. If it weren't for the broken ice, they wouldn't have been able to find this place, and they wouldn't have imagined that the mountain god's main tree would be hidden underground.
Xumo leaned over and looked at the deep water in the well. He reached out and picked up a puddle of clear water, and in an instant a black hole was burned in his hand.
This kind of water is called fairy water in the human world, and it is a pond water called Teng Saliva Pond in the fairy world, also called Teng Snake Liquid, which is highly poisonous. It is said to be the result of the saliva that flowed from the ancient mythical beast Teng Snake when it was sleeping.
This venom is not a big deal for the gods, but it is a deadly poison for the human race. Once a drop is attached, the flesh separates in a matter of moments, leaving only a charred skeleton.
This method will never be used by the gods, and it should be specially set up by the immortal masters of the fairy world or the spirits of the human world to protect the mountain gods. This fairy water comes from the fairy world, and it is not easy for the spirits of the human world to get it, and the only possible one is the immortal master of the fairy world.
Xumo shook off his injured hand, not caring about the blackened hole in his hand. He drew his sword and slashed lightly into the water, and the water in the well was enveloped in blue light before it turned into ice in a few moments.
"All back away. Xumo shouted. The subordinates around him quickly retreated behind the trees. When everyone left the area, he untied the bag hanging from his waist and poured out some silvery powder and sprinkled it on the ice.
After doing this, Xumo pasted more than a dozen charms on the wall of the well, and he predicted the power of the next blast, and silently retreated a dozen or so steps.
At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded, and a black fog lotus bloomed in the sky. The misty lotus was far away from his position, and Xu Mo looked up, a little impatient. I thought: Why is the person left to me by the king of people so useless, I can't even look at a little Shoudan girl!
The Shou Dannu was personally chosen for him by Fu Huan, the fourth elder of the Astrology Palace, and was responsible for taking care of his diet and daily life, and more importantly, responsible for repairing his demigod body for him.
Xumo is not a human, but a demigod puppet refined by the Xiudan Academy of the Astrology Palace.
The gods of the god realm have companion gods who specialize in serving and accompanying the gods, and the human race has a little understanding of them, but they have made up their minds to refine the god puppets, which is a good weapon for them to fight against the gods.
They didn't know how the companion idol was produced, so they had to figure it out on their own. Refining god puppets was forbidden in the human world, but the human king acquiesced in their practice, and even privately gave many treasure spirit beasts to the Xiudan Academy.
Because gods and puppets are the same as people, no one or spirit will ever find them in the crowd. The refining of the god puppet is to be able to increase the power against the gods, even if it is not allowed on the surface, but it is indeed known to many people in private, but many people are limited to the royal family.
It has been more than 1,500 years since the establishment of the Shudan Temple, during which countless divine puppets have been refined, all of which have ended in failure. But in the past five hundred years, the refining of divine puppets has finally improved.
By chance, they refined a god puppet, and after the god puppet was successfully refined, the royal family began to collect a large number of materials to refine more god puppets, but then they could only successfully refine the demigod puppets, and they could not refine other god puppets after that. Although the demigod puppet is not yet a complete god puppet, its power is indeed incomparable to that of the human race. It's just that the production of demigod puppets is very small, and there are only two at most when refining at a time, and even none at all. And every refining takes a hundred years, and it costs a lot of money just to refine the spiritual treasures, so every time the refining of the Cultivation Academy is extremely careful.
And the disadvantage of such a demigod is that the skin from the neck down must not be exposed to the sun except for the head. They call this phenomenon "God's curse."
Those elders are also quite precious Xumo, and the medicinal materials and spirit beasts that should be given are generously given, and there will be no shortage of him at all, but the premise is that he must be under their supervision.
The Keeper was the eyes of the elders who watched over him. Of course, there is more than one pair of eyes, but this is the only one on the countertop.
For this reason, Xumo didn't like the proximity of the Shou Dannu very much, and every time he went out to arrest her, he would let his subordinates detain her, while he acted alone.
Whenever the black mist lotus opens in the air, it means that the Shoudannu has run away. There is a connection between them, and the Shoudannu should have come to him in search of his breath when she ran away.
Xumo felt a lot of headaches about this, and his mood was much worse.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Shoudannu had not yet been found, he called his subordinate Wei Po and ordered him to take a few people to block her more than ten miles away, and how long could it be delayed. And he sped up the speed of the seal, and smashed the refined golden fire into the well.
Hearing only a "boom", Xumo was shocked back a few steps by the aftermath of the explosion, and when he put down his left hand to protect his face, he found that the clothes on his arm were burned.
"Tsk. He pursed his lips and brushed the ash from his arm twice, his bare skin was red and hot from the sun, and he glanced at it indifferently, ignoring it.
He never wears armor or armor during his actions, and is often dressed in a black or dark green suit. For this reason, the astrological hall specially made clothes suitable for him, and his clothes were not weak in defense, and they could shield him from the sun.
Zhao Han hurriedly stepped forward to put on a cloak for him. He took it and tied it in a simple knot. Walking over to see that the water in the well was gone, and only the black and empty well remained.
The walls of the well are covered with green moss, which is still intact under the burning of the golden fire.
Xumo reached out and pulled off a large piece and stuffed it into his pocket. To be able to survive such a strong blast is certainly not ordinary.
The subordinates behind the tree hurriedly gathered around the well, and Xu Mo pointed to two to guard it, while the others followed him down.
Going down the entrance, Xumo crawled through the narrow and long passage, and several people behind him followed him down the well.
"This place hides the main body, so always be aware of your surroundings. Xumo was worried about the safety of Zhao Han, so he took out a talisman and took a picture. looked at the people behind him, frowned, and finally threw the talisman bag to them, the meaning was self-evident.
Xumo knows that although gods can't kill people, they can hurt people, even though this is just the essence of the mountain god, it can't be underestimated. He didn't want to go back and have missing arms and legs, and it would take a few years to make up for his body.
Several subordinates didn't speak, and one of them drew a talisman with a talisman bag in their hands, and then carefully returned the talisman bag.
They bowed their heads to hide their surprise, for fear that they would ruin Xumo's mood and have no good fruit to eat in the end. They all know that Xumo will come and go quickly for their kindness.
Zhao Han saw all this in his eyes, and as usual, he just did his own thing in silence.
The cave is very damp, and the stone walls are covered with the kind of moss that Xumo found before, and the moss everywhere emits a bright green light, and the world in the cave is faintly blurred by this light, so that people can't see clearly but can see the general outline of the cave.
After landing, they came to an empty stone cave. The sound of water in the cave is murmuring, there is a faint light, it is better to talk than nothing, there is a faint cold wind in the cave, and it is extremely cold.
The locust tree is in the center of the cave. The locust tree is not very large, and it only takes one person to hug it. But it was extremely high, and its branches stretched out, obscuring the roof of the cave above, covering the only ray of light.
Xumo's eyes are not very good, and it is really terrible to see things in this hazy state. He only looked at it a few times and became a little irritable, if he really got into trouble, it didn't matter what kind of place it was, who was around him. As long as he is uncomfortable to look at, he will directly raise the knife and cut it, removing everything that is in the way of the eyes.
Zhao Han knew Xumo very well, and he only needed to look at it to know that Xumo didn't like the light here.
He touched his body and found that Jiaozhu was indeed on his body.
I am afraid that I can't even remember the many treasures given by the elders, and he only picked the pleasing ones after giving them to him in the past, and the rest were kept by a few subordinates, but more of them existed there. And the most important thing Xu Mo carries on his body is all kinds of charms, and he doesn't care about this kind of treasure at all.
