Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Visit to the Sacred Tree

The Bronze Sacred Tree was cast twenty years after the founding of the Imperial Soup at the suggestion of the first High Priest, who was the Minister of the Dragon who fought the world with the Imperial Soup, and was incomparably trusted by the Imperial Soup. There are even rumors that the phoenix that gave the power of the blood of Emperor Tang was introduced to the mortal world by the first high priest. If this legend is true, then it is not an exaggeration to put the first high priest in the position of the first contributor to the founding of the Great Shang.

Guling Mountain is different from the plump and beautiful Yunmeng Mountain, but blindly stands tall and towering, the mountain body that is 600 zhang high is like a withered branch straight into the sky, the sacred tree is ten zhang high, the crown is huge and vigorous, and it is just a small sapling in front of Guling Mountain. The reason why Wu Zhiqi wanted to jump into the Divine Tree from the Guling Mountain was because of the mysterious old man who was shrouded in a black robe and couldn't even see through the Taishi Wen Zhong, who had the "Heavenly Eye" supernatural power.

Wu Zhiqi has never met with the high priest, but he has also learned the exercises of their department, when the great god Zhu knew that his conspiracy to rebel was exposed, and fled out of the court song overnight, Wu Zhiqi Youzi received the spy report given, and it was not difficult to catch up with him. When the Great God Zhu knew that there were chasing soldiers behind him, he did not blindly flee, but returned to the carriage to meet the enemy, and Wu Zhiqi, who felt ridiculous in his heart, originally did not plan to make a little effort, although he was only breaking through the mana of the land immortals at that time, but he had the vision and rule comprehension of the quasi-saint, and it was not easy to clean up a great god Zhu who only had the peak of the heavenly immortals in his opinion? If it weren't for Wu Zhiqi, an old monster who came all the way from the flood wilderness, he had experienced countless bloody battles in his life, and had seen countless sinister ghost tricks, he almost fell into the way of the great god's blessing, and wasted his ten years of hard work in Tianxin Water before.

Since then, Wu Zhiqi has known that to measure the strength of a Wu Zhu, you can't just look at the strength on the surface, at least you have to raise a realm to treat it. If it is said that the Great God Zhu rebelled back then because he did not get the support of the High Priest, so he did not dare to come forward to assassinate Zishou in person, then how strong is the strength of this old man named "A" who makes the Great God Zhu extremely jealous?

Wu Zhiqi didn't want to sneak into the Guling Mountain Mansion at the risk of being discovered by the high priest, so he decided on such a stupid method, climbed from the Shanyin to the Guling Mountain in advance, and jumped down from a place more than 100 zhang above the ground while everyone was worshipping in the square, and used mana to cover up the movement, which was also the safest way for the master and apprentice to discuss it.

What Zi Shou didn't notice was that the figure of the high priest lying on the ground trembled, as if he couldn't help the cool breeze when he was old, or did this mysterious old man notice that someone had gone deep into the Bronze Divine Tree?

——————

The Bronze Divine Tree is hollow in its abdomen, this is also a matter of no choice, even if it is cast like this, it has consumed ten years of bronze inventory of Dashang who has just unified the princes of the Quartet, if you cast a divine tree in bronze that is physical inside and outside, I am afraid that it will take twenty years of bronze inventory to be able to choke it. What's more, if the body of the tree is all cast in bronze, it will take much more manpower and material resources to transport such a tree to Guling Mountain and then erect it.

The craftsman who cast the tree back then probably didn't expect that someone would jump into the inside of the sacred tree from the Guling Mountain, so he didn't put any obstacles in the canopy. Wu Zhiqi walked through the layers of bronze branches and leaves, thinking that he had seen countless spectacular scenery when he traveled through the flood wilderness: the sky-like pillar of fire when the Tiannan volcano erupted, the bottomless sea eye in the North Sea, which is called "Returning to the Ruins" once it falls, the Netherworld Blood Sea that raised the Styx Ancestor and powerful characters like "Yuan Tu" and "Ah Bi", and the peerless murder weapon, and even watched from a short distance when the Buzhou Mountain Heavenly Pillar broke from it, and even made a move to block the half of the mountain from falling into the flood waste.

But Wu Zhiqi still had to admit that the phrase "ingenious workmanship" in the human race was not blindly self-touting, and looking down from the mountain, the appearance of this tree was already luxuriant. And when he went deep into the interior of the sacred tree, he found that when the craftsmen cast it, not only did the appearance of it become magnificent and wonderful, but even the inside of the sacred tree, those details that could not be seen from the outside, were cast with all their hearts. The delicate patterns on the inside of the tree wall and the young branches and leaves in the deepest part of the canopy are all very delicate, which shows that when the craftsmen cast the bronze sacred tree, their attention to detail has reached the point where it can be called "paranoid".

Perhaps only by paying such attention to detail to the point of being close to the "Tao" can the bronze god tree be given the ability to suppress a country's fortune, and can it become an important weapon of the country.

Wu Zhiqi, who flew from the mountain to the canopy of the tree almost instantly, did not make a sound, in his opinion, the canopy of the tree was a rich purple condensed into the Great Shang National Fortune, the reason why he wanted to go out in person this time instead of letting Zishou arrange other cultivators to come, was because the status of the Bronze Divine Tree in the Great Shang Dynasty was too important. Since Zishou and Wu Zhiqi felt that there was something wrong with this divine tree, then solving the problem and trying not to damage the fortunes of the Great Merchants and the dragon veins and dragon qi was the first thing to consider.

That night, Wu Zhiqi looked at Zi Shou's somewhat embarrassed appearance, patted Zi Shou's shoulder, and almost didn't slap him to the ground: "I don't know what drum you kid is playing in his heart, Master, I don't know yet?

Wu Zhiqi, the request of this big disciple, has always been responsive, and waved his hand: "There is no problem for me to go, that is, if there are really any tricks in this tree, it is also a spiritual object that has been entangled with your country's luck for a long time, I really do it, nine times out of ten it will involve a country's luck, as for whether to increase the country's luck or reduce it, it depends on the specific situation, in case you miss the national luck to cut one or two points, you kid can't regret it?"

Zishou shook his head: "The national fortune dragon qi converges in the middle of the tree, and it should be extremely purple-gold, but since the color is a little gloomy now, Master, you saw that pillar of light when you broke through the realm, it means that something is like a maggot on the tarsal bone that devours my vitality." If you don't get rid of it early, I don't know what kind of monster will be raised in the future, and the luck that was taken away by it is best to snatch it back, and it doesn't matter if you can't get it back. Even if it damages the fortune of the country, this matter is imperative, but that thing has been nourished by the four powers of the fortune of the country, the dragon qi, the power of willingness, and the evil qi for five hundred years, and the master must be careful when dealing with it, but don't hurt himself, after all, the master and the mother are still waiting for you to find them. ”

Wu Zhiqi was moved in his heart and said with a smile: " I don't hurt you kid in vain, I know that I am protecting the master, although I only have the middle stage of Xuan Xian cultivation now, but no matter what he is, as long as he is not a quasi-saint, he will not pose a threat to me, if it is really a quasi-saint, you Zhuhuang Palace Zhongjing Array Eye to borrow me to use, just before we jointly revised the formation a lot, it stands to reason that the power cannot be the same as before, I personally presided over the Zhuhuang Great Array created by your Yin family for five hundred years, even if the quasi-saint pretends to be a god and a ghost in it, it has to be made unpleasant!"

The young man who likes to wear a big red shirt laughed: "It's still the master who loves me the most!"

Wu Zhiqi waved his hand again and again: "Don't say this in front of Xiao Yi'er, otherwise I will have to bear her eyes for two or three days." ”

Thinking of this, Wu Zhiqi smiled faintly, it was not in vain that he had not accepted apprentices for many thousands of years before, and as soon as he accepted apprentices, he received three precious apprentices, and it was rare for Zishou Jiang Yi to be a good talent for the human race, and even the little apprentice of the demon clan named Guiyuan Quilt was nicknamed "Longan" was full of aura. What's more important is that the master and apprentice get along well with the same sect, and it is not like the intrigue that is common in many Honghuang sects that makes him very disgusted, which really comforts him.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhiqi gathered his divergent thoughts, the things raised in this divine tree are not good stubble, so he needs to be more careful.

As Wu Zhiqi went deeper and deeper into the Divine Tree, the aura of national fortune gradually faded, but the dragon aura that he often felt when cultivating in the "Heavenly Heart Water" in Bigan Mansion before became more and more obvious.

From the point of view of the monks, the fortune of the country represents whether a country can survive for a long time, and the dragon qi simply represents who sits on the throne. The canopy of this sacred tree is huge, and it can lead the national fortune to gather more and more in the Chaoge City.

The roots of the sacred tree go deep into the ground, and in the eyes of the master of feng shui, it can suppress the dragon qi and prevent it from escaping.

Supplemented by the weekly festival held regularly by the power of a country, the pure blood purified by Jiuding is dedicated to the ghosts and gods of heaven, earth and gods, which can ensure that the national honor lasts for a long time.

But now, not only does the fortune of the country and the dragon qi seem to have been seized by something, but the old man of the high priest does not even eliminate the evil spirit and resentment after slaughtering the animal sacrifice through Jiuding, and directly dedicates it to the sacred tree, just like eating crabs without peeling their shells, and eating fish without scales, so how can the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods put their mouths? It must also be used to feed the things in the sacred tree.

Wu Zhiqi smiled coldly: The thief of the hook is punished, and the prince of the thief of the country?

Lao Tzu came over this time and cut off your roots directly, see what else you steal.

The dense layers of branches and foliage in the canopy blocked a lot of sunlight, but some of the fish that slipped through the net were scattered, and as Wu Zhiqi gradually walked deeper and deeper, it became less and less obvious, and finally fell silent in complete darkness.

Wu Zhiqi did not descend quickly, and cautiously landed little by little towards the lower end of the sacred tree, and a bright light gradually appeared in front of his dark eyes, soft and gently rippling like waves, and his hand holding Bahan's spear tightened. But when he really arrived in front of that thing, Wu Zhiqi was a little skeptical that he was dazzled.

What appeared in front of Wu Zhiqi's eyes was a colorful phoenix feather taken from a complete and pure-blooded phoenix that had not appeared for a long time!
