Chapter 422: Ten Thousand Rings Forest
In the main hall, Lu Shangwen sat on the main seat, and Luo Lingjiang, Bei Lingjiang, Hua Qingyu and Zhao Xianglin were sitting on the side seats on the left and right sides chatting. Seeing Xiao Tianhe and them coming in, Lu Shangwen and the other two spirit generals immediately stood up to greet them and greeted them warmly. For He Tianyao and Hua Qingyu, this is the second demon king they have encountered. Jin Chanyu is indifferent and has no quarrel with the world, while Lu Shangwen is kind and kind, amiable. The two demon kings have one thing in common - they are approachable.
Everyone took their seats and began to talk again. "Sister Qingyu, the strange grass you saw on the top of the cliff that appears from time to time is the 'Treasure of the World' in Chaohuan Gorge!"
Hua Qingyu said with a smile: "I've heard what Senior Lu said just now, I'm really ashamed, I almost robbed someone else's baby." Fortunately, the old man was transformed in time, so I didn't recognize it. ”
Zhao Xianglin said: "This is also to blame me." Ever since I approached Chaohuan Gorge, I had always felt a soft force calling me from the depths of the valley, and I didn't even expect that feeling to come from Qi Qi!"
Xiao Tianhedao: "Having said that, I really cherish it very much! In such a deep Chaohuan Gorge, there is only one tree on the top of the cliff. Senior Lu, I am afraid that it consumed a lot of time to refine the body for Sister Zhao at the beginning, right?"
Xia Lingjiang laughed out loud: "Brother Xiao, how can there be only one plant that is abundant in Chaohuan Gorge? Besides, didn't you see it all before you went down to the river?"
"Is it......" Xiao Tianhe thought about it carefully, suddenly slapped his palm, and exclaimed, "By the way, that pebble beach!
"Exactly. ”
"It's really wonderful!" Xiao Tianhe sighed sincerely.
Mentioning the Qi Qi Ju, Lu Shangwen said: "Miss Zhao, when I was refining your body for you the previous time, because the old man had a limited number of Qi Qi Ju on hand, the refining result was not perfect. Since you have come to Chaohuan Gorge today, you must stay for a little longer, and I will use some more solidarity to perfect it for you. ”
Zhao Xianglin hurriedly said: "Thank you Senior Lu, you don't have to be so troublesome." I'm very satisfied with this body. ”
"Miss Zhao doesn't have to refuse, I am confident that after perfecting, the strength of her body will be greatly improved, and the speed will be much faster. Now my injuries are basically recovered, and it's okay. ”
"But ......" Zhao Xianglin looked at Xiao Tianhe.
Xiao Tianhe also persuaded: "Sister Zhao, Senior Lu has some kindness, you can stay, and we will come back to pick you up." ”
"That'...... All right. Trouble the old Lu seniors. Zhao Xianglin got up and bowed to Lu Shangwen.
"Little Brother Xiao, listen to what you mean, do you have something important to do when you come to the Demon Domain?" asked Lu Shangwen.
"Yes. Then, Xiao Tianhe briefly said what happened after he met Jin Chanyu, but when it came to the content of the Burning Heaven Palace, he didn't say a word.
"What?, Jin Chanyu has returned to Wanming Cave?" Lu Shangwen was very surprised, "Why didn't she inform us a few times?"
Luo Lingjiang pursed his lips, his face full of disdain: "Hasn't Jin Chanyu always been so maverick? Among the five tribes of the demon clan, her insect department is not social, and the fierce demon riot is currently out of the matter. ”
"It's not like that. Miss Jin told me: 'The five divisions of the demon clan are in the same spirit. She didn't intervene in the demon riot, she was actually waiting for a suitable moment. Xiao Tianhe was upset for Jin Chanyu.
"Hey, anyone can say that. It's all like this, our Jiebu is almost destroyed, she won't make a move, the so-called timing, when will it be? Will it wait until the other four are all destroyed?" Luo Lingjiang is still angry about the indifferent performance of the Jiebu's adventures and the insect department.
"No, it's too pessimistic to think so. Bei Ling Jiang smiled, "Maybe she wants to wait for us to win a big victory, and then come out to get a piece of the pie, right?" When listening to the first half of the sentence, Xiao Tianhe and the others thought that Bei Ling would believe in Jin Chanyu, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, they realized that she also didn't have a good impression of Jin Chanyu.
"Okay, don't be suspicious of Miss Jin. I've known her for a long time, and from what I've known about her, she's not a person who shirks her responsibilities and stands by. She didn't lead the insect department to join the alliance before, and she has been missing for a long time, and Lao Shi and I are indeed a little dissatisfied with her, but now it seems that it should all be a misunderstanding. Now that Wei Chifeng is out of the customs and Jin Chanyu has also returned to Wanming Cave, I think that the insect department is about to put up a banner to defend it. Lu Shangwen said.
Xia Lingjiang persuaded: "In that case, why didn't she know about us? If it weren't for Brother Xiao's visit today, who would have known that she had returned to Wanming Cave? Old man, I think it's better not to have too much hope for her yet." ”
Lu Shangwen smiled "hehe", changed the conversation, and asked Zhao Xianglin: "Miss Zhao, since the last goodbye, the time is not too long." During this period, you have actually cultivated to such a realm. If I'm right, you're close to the four elephants, aren't you?"
Several spirit generals were taken aback, at the beginning, Yuan Chengtai also told Zhao Xianglin that it would take at least a few hundred years to re-cultivate to the Five Elements level, and it was only a few short years, and it was already almost to the Four Elephant Level, and the speed was really amazing. And to achieve such a fast cultivation speed, there must be only one way to do this, through the method of "swallowing pills".
"Senior Lu, you're right. At the beginning, I was seriously injured in Huangya Village, but thanks to the golden girl who treated me, I was able to save my life. Not only that, but she also provided a large number of suitable demon pills for me to swallow, all the way to the limit of my third-level level. Zhao Xianglin replied.
"Well, that's what Miss Jin is like. I believe in her. Lu Shangwen looked at several spirit generals with a smile. From this point of view, he already knew the reasons for Zhao Xianglin's rapid increase. The purpose of mentioning this matter just now was to dispel the prejudices in the hearts of the four spirit generals.
"Senior Lu, in order to heal Wei Chifeng, we have to rush there as soon as possible
Wanming Cave goes, so I won't stay in Chaohuan Gorge for a long time, and I'm bothering you to show me the way. "Xiao Tian Dao.
"This is easy to do, I will ask Xiao Xia and Xiao Xie to send you over, and by the way, I will express our greetings to Miss Jin. Lu Shangwen said.
Xia Lingjiang looked reluctant: "Old man, people won't tell you when they come back, why do you use a hot face to stick to people's cold butts? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, that, that Wan, Wanming Cave, inside, it's dark, it's damp, I, I, I don't, I don't want to ......" Xie Lingjiang also complained.
Seeing this, Xiao Tianhe hurriedly said: "You still don't have to bother the two spirit generals, just tell us the specific location of Wanming Cave, and we can go by ourselves." ”
Lu Shangwen insisted very much: "Little Brother Xiao, you listen to me, if you go to the other departments, you can do it, if you go to the Wanming Cave of the Insect Department, hehe, you have to take the two of them to lead you!" Then, he said to the two spirit generals, "The reason why Miss Jin didn't tell us must be because of her troubles." But now that we already know, we must not lose our courtesy!" Lu Shangwen's bearing was greater than that of several spirit generals, he immediately walked to the desk in the corner of the main hall, wrote a short message, handed it to Xia Lingjiang, and ordered, "This letter must be handed over to Miss Jin by hand!"
"Yes. Xia Ling reluctantly put away the envelope.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Xianglin, Xiao Tianhe and the four of them left the Xuanyi Palace with Xia and Xie. This time, the spirit will fly with it, much more efficiently than it did before when it stumbled like a headless fly.
A few days later, a vast and dense jungle unfolded into view.
"There are countless kinds of demon insects in this forest, and the sound of rustling and chirping insects often comes from the forest, so it is called 'Wanming Forest'. Wanming Cave is among them. Xia Ling descended slowly and landed in front of the entrance of the forest, "Most of the demon clans of the insect tribe are fierce, and their tempers are not very good, and they are extremely xenophobic, if we fly over the Wanming Forest, it will inevitably anger them." From now on, you have to walk. ”
"Oh, is it?" Xiao Tianhe disagreed. The five subordinates that Jin Chanyu brought to Tai'an Palace are in the Meng Zhang realm, and their personalities are quite good, so it seems that Xia Lingjiang is still making a mistake about the prejudice against the insect department in his heart.
Xia Lingjiang just lifted one foot, put it back, and turned around and told a few people again: "After you go in, you should also be careful, don't run around and look around, and don't talk loudly casually, maybe any sentence will provoke the insects." ”
"It's wicked. He Tianyao shook his head.
"It's kind of scary. Ye Linglong muttered quietly. Compared with Xiao Tianhe, who has been dealing with the demon clan for a long time, she is still a little weaker. Xiao Tianhe gently hugged her behind him and comforted her.
Since I walked into Wanming Forest, it was as if I had stepped into another world. It was dimly lit, with only a few rays of sunlight piercing through the dense canopy, faintly illuminating the path ahead.
"Why are these trees so lush in winter?" Xiao Tianhe asked Xie Lingjiang.
"It's true all year round. Trees are an excellent place to raise larvae, so the demons of the insect tribe regard these big trees as treasures, and continue to cultivate new trees. In fact, this was originally a vast grassland, but it was transformed into the current big forest by the insect department. Xia Ling will whisper.
"Oh my God!" Xiao Tianhe smacked his lips in surprise, such a vast forest could not be grown in a short period of time. A towering tree will take hundreds of thousands of years to grow, and it seems that the formation of the Wanming Forest will take thousands of years, to say the least. Xiao Tianhe couldn't help but greatly appreciate the perseverance of the Worm Demon Clan.
Further down, the sunlight is almost invisible, and different kinds of trees have different crowns, some high and some low, large and small, covering each other, making the sky above the forest like a thick blanket, and the sunlight is tightly blocked.
Is there only darkness left in the forest?
Actually, there is a lot of light in the forest. Between the canopies, there are many vines, some of which hang down round and oval objects in the shape of pupae, some places are tied like soft streamers and dance in the windless air, and in other places they are wrapped in the shape of insect cocoons. The vines vary in height and direction, and these objects on the vines vary in size and shape, and what is even more peculiar is that most of them emit a soft light. The surface of the "pupa worm" seems to be plated with a layer of glazed coat, not only from its wonderful lines of red light, orange light, that layer of "glazed coat" is also reflecting the light of other objects. The "streamers" are almost transparent, but each surface has beautiful spots and patterns. The most dazzling thing is those large and small "insect cocoons", full of colors, illuminating the entire Wanming Forest. It is with the embellishment of these strange monsters that although there are many vines in the sky above the forest, they are not disordered at all.
In addition, there are many glowing objects on the branches and trunks that cannot be named. There are also holes in the thicker trees, from which bright light also emerges. "At the entrance, the sunlight is strong, and the light is not noticeable. The deeper you go, the brighter and more colorful these luminous objects become. Xia Ling, who was at the forefront, introduced.
At this time, bursts of quiet aromas wafted from all directions, and all kinds of insect chirpings echoed in the ears. There is a low hum, a soft hum, a pleasant chirp, and a rhythmic coo, all of which seem to converge into a chorus of the Zerg.
See, nose, smell, hear. Wanming Forest is giving this group of visitors the most fantastical enjoyment.
"It's so beautiful!" Ye Linglong's previous uneasiness had long since been swept away, replaced by joy as if she was in a wonderful dream. Those beautiful glowing objects are like a variety of jewels, no matter how you look at it,
I can't get enough of it.
"Hey, be careful!" He Tianyao, who was walking behind Ye Linglong, suddenly shouted. Ye Linglong, who was already fascinated, immediately woke up, but unfortunately it was too late, when she looked up to enjoy the beautiful scenery just now, she had unconsciously deviated from the road and stepped into the grass. And there are all kinds of tree vines and grass vines in the grass of Wanming Forest, and her feet hooked the rattan but she didn't know it, and when she stepped forward, she tripped over the rattan, stumbled and fell under her feet, and hooked the rattan together. I only heard the sound of branches and leaves, and the rattan above the grass broke off two, and the "insect chrysalis" and "insect cocoons" on it all rolled to the ground, and the "streamers" also broke away from the tree vines, and they didn't know where they were going.
Before Ye Linglong could come back to her senses, the surrounding insects suddenly made a loud noise, changing the previous harmony and pleasantness, becoming sharp and piercing, which made people shudder. Ye Linglong covered her ears with an "ah".
"Oh no!" Xia Lingjiang's heart sank, and he secretly said that he would come to whatever he was afraid of, and he had seen that this group of insects in the Wanming Forest was not easy to provoke.
Xiao Tianhe and He Tianyao also stepped into the grass, intending to help Ye Linglong untie the rattan wrapped around his feet, but Xie Lingjiang behind wanted to stop it but it was too late, the rattan in the grass seemed to suddenly "come to life", like a poisonous snake surging towards the two, and they could no longer be torn apart when they were wrapped around their legs. As the rattan became tighter and tighter, the two people were "tied up with five flowers".
Xia Ling was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Oh, didn't I warn you?
"Who dares to destroy the Ten Thousand Rings Forest?" a shrill roar came from nowhere.
Xia Ling raised his hand into the air and saluted: "Listening to the voice, it should be Huang Yanqing Hall Master of the Zhidou Hall, right? ”
"Hmph, of course I know you two, I'm asking the three guys who ruined my vines!" Shrill raised his voice again, and it seemed that he was very angry.
Seeing that the other party lost his temper, Xiao Tianhe hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Huang, Huang Hall Master, the three of us are friends of Miss Jin, my name is Xiao ......."
Unexpectedly, he was rudely interrupted by the "Yellow Hall Master": "Bah! dare to call our eldest lady contemptuously!"
As soon as the words fell, I only heard the sound of "hulala" around me, and three figures appeared in the grass like ghosts, holding strange demon weapons in their hands, which were placed on the heads of Xiao Tianhe and the three of them.
"Stay, stay...... Ah, stop, stop!" Xie Ling shouted with all his strength.
A man with a three-section stick sneered sideways: "Hmph, Xie Lingjiang, if I really want to kill him, it will be too late when you shout!" This person is the "Huang Hall Master" who shouted just now - Huang Yanqing.
General Xia Ling pushed Xie Ling away and stepped forward and said, "Master Huang, with the friendship between the two tribes, how could I bring wicked people to the Wanming Forest? They destroyed the tree vine was just an unintentional mistake, and calling the Jin Master 'Jin Girl' was also allowed by the Jin Master himself, which is enough to prove that they have a close relationship with the Jin Lord." It doesn't seem like a good thing for you to be so blind and rude?"
Huang Yanqing still refused to accept the three-section stick, and was unceremoniously: "That woman destroyed the vine was an unintentional mistake, so she was not tied up." The two men still stepped into the meadow with great dignity, and I could only see it as intentional. ”
Xiao Tianhe said sincerely: "Hall Master Huang, our brother doesn't understand the rules, and he stepped into the grass just to untie the rattan on Miss Ye's feet. If you are offended, we will make amends to you. ”
The man who was holding He Tianyao next to him said: "Master Huang, the attitude of the people is good, and the reason is reasonable, don't be too unforgiving, it seems that our insect strength is small." ”
Huang Yanqing replied: "Spring Hall Master, how long has it been since the four departments of Scales, Beasts, Feathers, and Jie have sent people here? Suddenly, the two spirit generals entered the Wanming Forest with a few strangers, of course, they had to be cautious first. It's really sluggish, it's not too late to apologize after figuring out the origin!"
Xia Ling will bow his hand to the "Spring Hall Master" and say: "This must be the Chunjun Mingchun Hall Master of the Banxun Hall, who has admired his name for a long time. ”
Chun Junming also returned the salute: "Xia Lingjiang's prestige is also like thunder, and I finally saw it today, and it really deserves its reputation." "It turned out that these two men had never seen each other before. Compared with Huang Yanqing, Chun Junming was relatively polite, and by saluting with Xia Ling, he naturally put away the hand axe that was originally against He Tianyao's Tianling cover.
"The master of the Membrane Qun Hall, I haven't seen you for a long time. Xia Ling will salute the third person again.
"It's been more than 80 years since I said goodbye before, and I have to drink a few cups when we meet again today!" The hall master also put away the Emei thorns in his hand, with a smile on his face.
Seeing that the two companions immediately showed their favor as soon as they said hello, Huang Yanqing couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied: "You two, it's really ...... The hall master, who was also called the 'Royal Four Hall', actually relaxed his vigilance so easily!"
Chun Junming stepped forward and put his arm on his shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, okay! I know that your 'Battle Four Halls' are always on guard and have strict rules, and General Xia Ling is not a stranger, can you still bring people to harm our insect department? Besides, you can't just bring so many guys who can be entangled in rattans!"
"That's it, 'nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace', there must be something wrong with people coming to the ministry master, this is not a place to talk about things, let's go back to Zhenwei Palace first!"
Xia Lingjiang breathed a sigh of relief, the secret path was okay, two of the three hall masters who appeared this time were still relatively easy to speak, and the most difficult hall masters did not appear.
"Well, that's it. If Hall Master Jia or Hall Master Wen are here today, how can you be like this?" Huang Yanqing shook his head and sighed, and then said to Xiao Tianhe, "Boy, I don't care about you about stepping on grass and destroying vines today. You remember, Wanming Forest is not an ordinary place, since you have come here, you have to abide by the rules here!" he said, and he gently tapped Xiao Tianhe's shoulder with the head of a three-section stick.
Unexpectedly, it was such an unintentional move, but it caused big trouble!
