Chapter 37: The Dryad

Master Lu's appearance of eating meat and drinking wine not only made Yang Fan and the others stunned, but this layer of people felt fresh when they saw it, this Master Lu was really ...... Maverick!

However, although Master Lu is a strange person in Buddhism, he is bold and bold in his life, and with the local dialect, he can only be said to be an alternative in the cultivation world.

"I don't know what Master Lu is here for?" asked Lu Tianyun.

"Amitabha, the poor monk has been famous for a long time in Panjian Mountain, and he has come here to visit. Master Lu said.

"The master is also going to Panjian Mountain?" asked Lu Tianyun.

"Exactly!" Master Lu said.

"I wonder if the master would like to go with us?" Lu Tianyun said invitedly.

Master Lu ignored Lu Tianyun's invitation and ate by himself.

Lu Tianyun didn't feel the slightest embarrassment because of this, just looked at Master Lu with a smile and a word.

After eating on the countertop, Master Lu turned his head and looked Yang Fan and his party up and down, and asked curiously, "Dare to ask how many donors are?"

Lu Tianyun said with a smile: "In Xia Lu Tianyun, this is Xin Ruyi Xin girl, this is Yang Fan Yang Gongzi, this time they got together by chance, so they simply went together." ”

"I see, it's good, it's good!" Master Lu recited the Dharma horn and continued: "Didn't a few donors also hear the news that a strange treasure was born in Panjian Mountain recently?"

"Strange treasure?" Yang Fan and the others all glanced at each other, and they could see each other's puzzled expressions, and subconsciously looked at Master Lu.

"Master Lu, what's the matter with this strange treasure?" Lu Tianyun even asked.

Master Lu looked at Yang Fan and the others in surprise and asked, "This is not a secret in the cultivation realm, could it be that a few donors don't know?"

Lu Tianyun smiled bitterly and glanced at Xin Ruyi and Yang Fan, hugged his fists and said to Master Lu: "Master, I have been traveling for some time, I don't know what this strange treasure is about, and I hope the master will not hesitate to tell me." ”

Master Lu looked at Yang Fan and the others again, and stayed on Xiao Feng for a while, and said: "This is actually not a secret, some time ago, when Master Bian Tianshi was observing the celestial phenomena, he found a strange phenomenon. ”

"What? is Master Bian Tian, what strange phenomenon?" Xin Ruyi and Lu Tianyun glanced at each other, both feeling each other's amazement, Xin Ruyi asked.

Yang Fan was also inexplicable when he saw the two of them behaving like this, spared his head, and listened quietly with curiosity, without interrupting their conversation.

According to Bian Tianshi's calculations, this is the legendary Mercury, and at this moment this Mercury is also the closest moment to my Tianyuan Continent, according to Bian Tianshi's derivation, this is the legendary sign of Mercury's great elongation to the east, from all indications, there is a mutual echo between the east and the west of Panjian Mountain, so Bian Tianshi speculated that there may be a heavy treasure in Panjian Mountain in recent days. Master Lu explained.

"Then what are we going to have a good time with, you transcendent forces will just send a few strong people over to fight for it, won't it be over?" Yang Fan couldn't help but say.

After saying this, Yang Fan found that he was ignored by Lu Tianyun and Xin Ruyi, and Master Lu looked at him with a strange look, which made him uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but Master Lu still explained: " Good and good, Yang Shi doesn't know, Panjian Mountain is its own space, the internal laws are not perfect, some places are strong, some places are almost none, if the strong come, it is easy to cause the internal space to be unable to withstand and cause the entire space to collapse, if this is the case, even if they are strong, they will not escape the end of the fall. ”

After Yang Fan heard Master Lu's words, he was shocked, he didn't expect that there were such secrets in this Panjian Mountain, so the various legends of Panjian Mountain would make sense.

"But it's different when we go in, because there is no knot pill, so we can't sense the existence of the rules, or we are ignored by those laws, so that martial artists below the knot stage can go in and look for opportunities. Master Lu added.

Yang Fan fully understood what was going on.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Yang Fan said to Master Lu: "Master, why don't we go together?"

"Yes, master, let's go together, if there is really a heavy treasure born, such a big event must be a stormy meeting, one more person we have, one more strength, so that everyone can take care of each other." Lu Tianyun also took this and said.

Xin Ruyi didn't say anything, but the meaning in his eyes was also obvious, hoping that Master Lu could join this team.

Master Lu looked at the enthusiastic eyes of several people, hesitated for a while, and agreed: "Amitabha, if a few donors don't mind, the poor monks will cause trouble for a few people." ”

"No trouble, no trouble, master come and sit down. Yang Fan and the others immediately smiled, and Lu Tianyun even invited Master Lu to come and sit.

"Then the little monk is respectful, it's better to obey his fate!" Master Lu also smiled, and in response, he picked up the demon pestle and walked over.

After Master Lu sat down, Lu Tianyun proposed: "Master is a person who loves wine, and it can be regarded as a fate to be able to sit together today, why don't I wait here and get drunk?"

Seeing that several people were looking at him, Master Lu smiled and said, "That's it, it's very good!"

Then the three big men focused their eyes on Xin Ruyi at the same time, feeling the eyes of several people, Xin Ruyi said: "Look at what I'm doing, I don't drink!"

"Haha......"

"Amitabha. ”

A few people were talking about wine as if no one was around, so unhappy.

......

The Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, a large number of people gathered in the prince's mansion, including local county officials.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this matter has come to an end for the time being, everything needs to return to the normal track, and it is imperative that all the ministers work together to settle these displaced people. Yang Dinglong said.

"Yes, we will do everything we can to appease all the suffering people. An official of no lower grade stepped forward respectfully and said.

"In addition, open the granary and the silver storehouse, distribute the silver grain, and make a good count, how many people have been lost in this conscription and the big and small friction with the Ming Kou, and after the counting, they will be compensated to their families according to three times the pension, and there must be no mistake. Yang Dinglong continued.

"Yes!" the local officials replied in a sonorous voice.

Yang Dinglong continued: "The border guards have withdrawn all the soldiers who were originally reinforced, and they have stepped up training while there is a short period of peace, so that this group of recruits can really be put into use on the battlefield as soon as possible." ”

"The last general commands!" several generals shouted with their fists clenched.

Yang Dinglong gave instructions one by one in an orderly manner, and finally waved his hand and said: "That's all the things, let's go back and get busy." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

"The last general commands!"

After the full hall of civil and military officials slowly faded, there were still a few people in the hall who did not leave, these people were the most trusted people by Yang Dinglong.

"Sit down, several. After those officials left, Yang Dinglong said to a few people.

Several people sat down one after another, and Wang Yong asked roughly, "Lord Wang, what's the matter?"

Yang Dinglong said: "Let's all sit down, this time I invite a few people to stay, I want to talk to you, and you can talk freely about your views on this war." ”

"Presumably, the prince is false when he talks about the war, and it is true when he talks about Xiaofan, right?" Feng Qingyang stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Yes, let's talk about sails. Yang Dinglong didn't care when he saw through his mind at a glance, and smiled calmly.

"Oh?" Feng Qingyang stroked his beard and looked at Yang Dinglong, then looked at several other people, glanced at Yang Dinglong deeply, an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything more, and drank tea by himself.

"If you have anything to say, you are all the king's confidants and the most trusted people, there is no need to be cautious and scruples, and if you have any doubts, you can discuss and discuss them together. Yang Dinglong also saw everyone's thoughts, and there were still some worries in his heart, so he immediately put his words aside and dispelled their thoughts.

Li Kui arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, now that Xiaofan is rising strongly, I wonder if Lord Wang has other plans?"

"Naturally, I have some ideas, so let's talk about your thoughts first. Yang Dinglong replied, seeing that the others did not speak, and said: "Donghua, you used to be Fan'er's teacher, what do you think?"

Zou Donghua hugged his fists and smiled at Yang Dinglong: "Donghua is proud of Xiaofan, this retreat from the enemy, all by Xiaofan's own ability, for us, it can be described as a false alarm, but everything has two sides, the so-called wood show in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and with the rise of Xiaofan, it is bound to offend other evil forces, so Xiaofan's growth process will inevitably be full of hardships, Donghua is upright, don't blame the prince!"

Yang Dinglong nodded and said, "Fan'er is not only your pride, but also the pride of my Yang family, but this is exactly what I am worried about." ”

At this time, Wang Yong also interjected and said: "Lord Wang, I have also observed that Xiao Fan's baby has been away from Donghua for a long time, and it is no problem to suppress others in the same realm, but he is too kind-hearted, Xiao Fan is wandering outside, I am afraid that he will suffer on this issue." ”

"You're right, but Fan'er has experienced a lot of battles and fights in the past six months, and that has changed. Yang Dinglong nodded and said.

Yang Dinglong saw Chang De's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and immediately asked: "Uncle Chang, you grew up watching Fan'er, do you have any opinion of Fan'er?"

Chang De stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There are talents in the country, there is nothing to say about the old decay, I am very pleased to be able to witness Xiaofan become a generation of strong men in my lifetime, does the prince have more far-reaching insights?"

"Yes, I'm thinking that Fan'er is wandering outside alone, and he will inevitably offend many evil forces, how cruel the cultivation world is, we can only understand it from a few words in the classics, but when we look back at the trend of history, it is not difficult to find that this is much inferior to the struggle for power and position in the palace, and even more cruel than a hundred times a thousand times, even so, we can neither become Fan'er's backing, but we must not become Fan'er's burden. Yang Dinglong put away his smile when he heard this, and glanced at everyone.

"Cumbersome, I don't know where to start with the prince's words?" Liu Yi looked at Yang Dinglong suspiciously.

Zou Donghua, Wang Yong and the others all looked at Yang Dinglong puzzled, isn't this a matter of one person attaining the Tao and the chicken dog ascending to heaven?

Everyone didn't understand why Yang Dinglong didn't have a sense of joy, but still looked preoccupied.

"Although the cultivation realm is colorful, it is not as beautiful as you think, and it is even more cruel than the world, what I am worried about is that others can't deal with Fan'er and use us as a coercion, so as to achieve certain goals and force Fan'er to comply, this is what I am most worried about. Yang Dinglong explained.

"Lord Wang, are you thinking too much, although Xiao Fan is very likely to become a strong man, it is not enough to shake those transcendent forces in the cultivation realm, right?" Wang Yong said his question.

Yang Dinglong did not answer Wang Yong's question, but turned his head to look at Chang De and Zou Donghua, and said, "Uncle Chang, Donghua, do you still remember when Fan'er was ten years old, he dreamed of entering the Dao Soul Wandering Void?"

Chang De and Zou Donghua were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't understand why Yang Dinglong mentioned this matter, but they still nodded in response.

Yang Dinglong continued: " To tell you the truth, before stepping into the Yudan, I don't believe in this so-called soul wandering is too empty, which itself is an ethereal thing, but after the Yudan, I can sense the vastness of heaven and earth, there are many things that we are force majeure, this kind of dream into the Tao is a legendary existence, but it is impossible to meet, Fan'er can experience a time at such a young age is already a creation, so no matter how far Fan'er can go in the future, we also need to prepare for the worst, so as not to be distracted by Fan'er and die in growth. ”

"Hiss~" Everyone took a breath of cool air, when they marveled at Yang Fan, they admired Yang Dinglong's foresight, these two masters, one is more powerful than the other.

......

Panjian Mountains.

Yang Fan and a few people rented a carriage, in the laughter, a few people after more than a month, finally came to the Panjian Mountains, in this process, after Yang Fan's various soft grinding and hard bubbles and Xin Ruyi's various blows, Yang Fan finally made up for all kinds of knowledge about the cultivation world this time, at this time, Yang Fan finally understood, why several people are lightly armed, why they can take out one treasure after another, which really opened Yang Fan's eyes, for this reason, with Yang Fan's unremitting efforts, he also successfully grabbed a storage bag in Lu Tianyun and collected it like a treasure, and several people expressed their helplessness, Because a storage bag is not worth a few dollars in the cultivation realm, but it is enough to make Yang Fan ecstatic, and Xin Ruyi seized the opportunity to hit Yang Fan hard, Yang Fan didn't care about this, but secretly said in his heart: If there was this treasure in that strange land at that time, he wouldn't have brought some Neidan back!

With this thought, the whole person was a little regretful, why didn't he find something to find and get a storage bag back, and he secretly made up his mind that he must get more good things back this time!

After making up his mind, Yang Fan raised his head and found that several people were looking at him and didn't speak, Yang Fan's face turned red for no reason, and the whole person showed a shy smile, and asked in a low voice, "That." Well, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xin Ruyi hit mercilessly: "I'm looking at you smirking there alone." ”

Yang Fan covered his mouth with his hand and said, "No." Nope!"

"Nope. No, I don't. Yang Fan replied with a weak heart.

A few people didn't know Yang Fan's strange experience there, if they knew, they wouldn't be ecstatic to see Yang Fan, but probably crazy.

Of course, Yang Fan would not tell them that there were still many isolated creatures in this mysterious land.

With the storage bag, Yang Fan's mind was also tired, but now was obviously not the time to think about these questions, because he came back to his senses when Xin Ruyi shouted that he reached the mouth of the Panjian Mountain Range.

After several people got out of the car, they looked at the surrounding mountains and had a shocking feeling, because they were tall and magnificent, deep into the clouds, as if this one by one is not a mountain, but a terrifying giant beast that has been entrenched here since ancient times, each is very vivid, as if lying down and sleeping there, this is almost everyone's first impression of the first time to the Panjian Mountains.

Now not only Yang Fan was shocked by the scene in front of him, even Xin Ruyi and the others, although they had also seen a lot of famous mountains and rivers, but they were not as shocked and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the mountains surrounding them in front of them, but in any case, Xin Ruyi They are also people who have seen the world, and after a short period of surprise, they were as calm as ever, only Yang Fan was there alone in a daze, but the next scene also made him wake up.

As he looked around, there were also many people walking by in groups or alone, including some people who also felt dangerous to him, among which there were three groups of people who deserved his attention, judging from their clothing, they all belonged to a certain force, and they all looked well-trained and strong in martial arts.

In fact, not only Yang Fan noticed them, but also Master Lu and some passers-by also noticed these people, Master Lu, they were fine, but after some people recognized them, some of them had to respectfully hug their fists to show respect, and some of them stayed away, among them, there were six groups of people who attracted Yang Fan's attention and vigilance, and one of them was the people of the Blood Demon Sect headed by Mo Luo.

Obviously, Mo Luo also saw Yang Fan and them, and his gaze stayed on Master Lu for a moment before he set his eyes on Yang Fan.

Mo Luo smiled at Yang Fan evilly, and said gloomily: "I didn't expect you to come to Panjian Mountain, I hope you can come out of here alive, don't let me down!"

Yang Fan snorted coldly and replied: "I don't bother you with this, I will also pay you the same words, don't be able to get out of it, otherwise there will be one less scourge in this world, and it should be a lot quieter." ”

Mo Luo can become the young sect master of the Blood Demon Sect, and it is really not easy to match him, after listening to Yang Fan's words, he said without anger and laughter: "I hope you don't meet us inside, otherwise you won't be so lucky, hehe." After finishing speaking, he didn't even glance at the few people around Yang Fan, so he waved his subordinates and left.

Yang Fan and the others were silent, quietly watching Mo Luo and the others go away, and the people who passed by from time to time also saw the scene of Yang Fan and Mo Luo confronting each other, they may not know Yang Fan, but most of them know Mo Luo, so the eyes of Yang Fan and the others are full of weirdness, curiosity, sympathy, and schadenfreude, after all, this is still the territory of the Blood Demon Sect, with the strength of the Blood Demon Sect and the style of action that flaws must be reported, there are too many ways to get rid of Yang Fan, so these people are very curious about what Yang Fan is from。

Retracting their gaze, Yang Fan and the others glanced at each other and walked towards the depths one after another......

Late at night, deep in the Panjian Mountain.

The four of them gathered around the bonfire, and Xin Ruyi muttered: "There are poisonous insects everywhere, doesn't this Panjian Mountain say that there are treasures unearthed? ”

"Good, good, good! Lord Xin don't worry, although there is a treasure born in Panjian Mountain, but after all, this is an ancient sacred mountain, and it is normal to give birth to I don't know how many lives have been bred over the years, as long as you are careful, it is still no problem to protect yourself. Master Lu folded his hands and said softly after reciting the syntactic number.

"Alas, what kind of treasure do you say this is? It can make so many powerful masters covet it. Xin Ruyi muttered a few words, and suddenly the words changed and asked about the treasures of Panjian Mountain.

"I don't know, according to Master Bian's deduction, this is very likely to be the Xuantian Realm or the strange treasure related to it. Master Lu said.

"Xuantian Realm?"

"What is the Xuantian Realm?"

Lu Tianyun and Yang Fan both looked at Master Lu and asked puzzledly.

"It is rumored that the Xuantian Realm integrates attack and defense, and can see through the illusory spirit treasure, ranking twenty-ninth on the artifact list. Master Lu glanced at a few people and explained.

"Wow!"

"Hiss~"

Hearing Master Lu say this, Yang Fan's eyes widened and he took a sharp breath.

Although I don't know what the Xuantian Realm and the artifact list are, just listening to the ranking of this weapon feels very popular.

At this moment, Yang Fan's eyes were also shining, and at a glance, Lu Tianyun and Yang Fan both licked their dry lips unconsciously.

Master Lu on the side coldly poured a basin of cold water on them to sober them up: "Although the treasure is good, it is also a hot potato, not to mention, the spiritual treasure has spirituality, and those who are destined to get it, if there is no fate, even if this thing is in front of you, you may not recognize it." ”

"So powerful?" Yang Fan was startled, looking at Lu Tianyun, who had also woken up, and didn't know what to say.

"Hehe, a few donors don't have to worry, treasures all have spirits, you can get it, you don't need to force it if you can't get it, the terrain here is treacherous, the mountains are steep, and there are a lot of powerful demon beasts, I have to say, this is a very good place to practice. Master Lu said comfortingly.

After Yang Fan listened to Master Lu's words, he looked at his storage bag, and secretly almost forgot about his business, this time he came to this place with many demon beasts, and there are storage bags, this time he has a rare opportunity, he must collect a lot of them, thinking of this, he muttered a few words angrily, Xin Ruyi and Lu Tianyun on the side didn't know what he muttered, Xin Ruyi teased: "What's the matter?"

"Who is afraid?" Yang Fan scoffed.

"And say you're not afraid, so what are you muttering nervously there, still looking around. Xin Ruyi snorted.

Yang Fan glanced at Xin Ruyi speechlessly, and said, "Be afraid, that is, I'm afraid that you have nothing to do!"

"You ......" Xin Ruyi was suddenly speechless, and trembled with anger.

Lu Tianyun on the side hurriedly made round soup, and only breathed a sigh of relief after a while, these two people can not only quarrel in a few words, but also provoke trouble, I don't know how many times they quarreled in the process of entering Panjian Mountain, and there are various reasons.

......

"Who!"

"Amitabha!"

Yang Fan and Master Lu found that there was a breath of life in the grass pile on the side almost at the same time, and after the two shouted, Lu Tianyun and Xin Ruyi also reacted, looking ahead vigilantly.

At this time, branches gradually spread out of the grass, these branches are like poisonous snakes, very capricious, no, they are not so much branches, but they are poisonous snakes, just a moment of effort, these branches surrounded Yang Fan and them.

Yang Fan and the others looked at this scene in amazement, and through the pile of grass, what appeared in front of them was not a branch, but a slowly approaching tree!

"It's not good, it's a tree demon, there must be a tree spirit nearby controlling all this!" Lu Tianyun said with a pale face, and said in a low and hoarse voice.

Yang Fan and the others also had a bad face, although Yang Fan didn't know what the tree spirit was, he also knew that this must be a character who was not easy to mess with.

Sure enough, as if confirming what he had in mind, the branches slammed into them from their front.

"Boom!"

"Amitabha!" At the critical moment, Master Lu's demon-slaying pestle thrust into the ground in front of him, and his hands did not stop, and after quickly forming a few seals, he pushed forward fiercely, and these branches were blocked three feet away from several people, unable to advance a single bit.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief, but it didn't take long for them to look back to back, solemnly in all directions, and by this time the branches had already swarmed up.

"Heh!" Yang Fan slammed out with a split lion fist.

"Smack. Syllable. Smack!" These branches shattered in response, but the force that came over made Yang Fan's face extremely ugly, because these branches looked endless, and each blow had a strength comparable to that of the foundation building period, even if it was, I don't know how powerful the tree spirit that didn't appear was.

"What should I do?" Xin Ruyi asked.

"Kill it!" Lu Tianyun said.

"There are so many Dryads, each of them has the realm of the middle stage of foundation building, there are no less than thirty Dryads here, and there is also a Dryad who has never shown up, how can you kill them?" Yang Fan was also a big head, and the branches of these Dryads seemed to be endless, breaking the second wave and coming again.

"I can't care so much, I'll deal with these dryads first, be careful of the dryads. Lu Tianyun said urgently.

"Good. ”

"One person, one side, up!" Yang Fan rushed forward without waiting for a few people to reply, and when the others saw this, they also rushed up and threw themselves into the battle.

"Boom!" Before Yang Fan came to the dryad, he was surrounded by branches in all directions, as if he wanted to entangle him, Yang Fan secretly said that it was not good, and he punched a few times in succession, and finally came to a dryad after smashing the surrounding branches.

On the ground shrouded in darkness, by the faint moonlight, if you look at it from a distance, this is an ordinary tree, when Yang Fan came to the dryheart, he found that there were several hollow holes in the dry bark, corresponding to the eyes and mouth, respectively, and the hideous appearance of the dryad was also open when Yang Fan came to it and screamed violently, which really scared Yang Fan, followed by the overwhelming branches, and a donkey rolled sideways to avoid this blow, but what greeted him was the big mouth of the dryad like a black hole, and he was about to swallow Yang Fan into it......
