Chapter Thirty-Eight: Under the Magical Peach Tree

"Brother Dao is taking pity on the Zhengyi Sect disciples who were sent to the entrance of the Huanghua Cave in Taoshan Sixteen years ago to collect peach tree branches?

"Actually, the whole thing was accidentally revealed by the previous elder when he talked about this magical peach. The story happened sixteen years ago, and that year was also the year when the two peach trees that grew in front of the entrance of Huanghua Cave sprouted and branched. As usual, my Zhengyi Sect sent special disciples to the entrance of Huanghua Cave to collect new peach branches. But this time, those Zhengyi Sect disciples who were sent out had not returned from the mountain for more than a month, and there was no news related to them back to Longhu Mountain. In order to find out the reason, my Zhengyi Sect had to send a second wave of disciples. What is surprising is that in the more than a month after the second wave of disciples who were sent out went down the mountain, not only did they not send back the relevant news of the previous disciples who were sent out, but they even lost contact with Longhu Mountain soon after they went down the mountain. At this time, my Zhengyi Sect Patriarch Zhang Tianshi began to sit still, so his old man decided to personally go down the mountain to Huanghua Cave of Natao Mountain to find out the reason. But where would you have thought that Shizun had been going down the mountain for more than a year this time, and in this period of more than a year, his old man, like the two waves of Zhengyi Sect disciples sent before, quickly lost contact with Longhu Mountain. As the Patriarch of my Zhengyi Sect disappeared for longer and longer, the disciples in the Dragon Tiger Mountain began to become restless. Seeing that my Zhengyi Sect was about to fall apart due to the leaderlessness of the dragons, my master, Zhang Tianshi, suddenly returned. The disciples who saw Shizun coming back in the sect that day still remember very clearly that not only did Shizun look extremely depressed on the day he came back, but he also seemed to have suffered serious internal injuries, so after returning to Longhu Mountain, he was in retreat for ten years. Just before the master was about to retreat, several elders in the sect asked the master why he had been gone for more than a year? Has he found any traces of the two waves of Zhengyi disciples who were sent out before? But the master did not answer a word to the questions raised by these elders, but only asked the elders to convey a prohibition to the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect on his behalf: "From now on, it is forbidden for the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect to go to the Huanghua Cave of Natao Mountain to collect peach branches." Although the elders were unable to learn from the master what had happened to his old man during the year, the elders still found two things that the master had brought back from outside in the place where the master was retreating. ”

"What are the two things?" Hearing the rise, Yu Fei'er couldn't help but interrupt Wen Yiyang's words and asked.

Wen Yiyang was just as curious as Brother Dao now when he heard the elder say that the master had brought back two things from outside, so I stretched my ears and listened to the elder continue. According to the elder, one of the two things that the master brought back was actually a piece of peach branch, but this piece of peach branch was not a new peach branch like the one he had collected before, but a piece of peach branch that looked very old, and by the time the master came out, he had already made a peach sword from this peach branch, which was the one in my hand. Speaking of this, Wen Yiyang gestured to the peachwood sword in his hand and continued, "Shizun likes this peachwood sword very much, so he also gave this peachwood sword a nice name, called 'Moon Death'. ”

"And what is the other thing?" asked Yu Fei'er impatiently.

"Another thing?" Wen Yiyang said, scratching the back of his head, "That elder suddenly realized something after saying this first thing, and after staring at me for a long time, he stopped answering, and then no matter how much I pestered, he ignored me. When I think back on the whole thing afterwards, I always feel that when the elder stared at me, there seemed to be a trace of doubt and uneasiness in his eyes. ”

"Doubts and uneasiness, sixteen years ago?" said Yu Fei'er, muttering as if something had something in mind.

Just as Yu Fei'er began to organize her thoughts in her mind, the voice of the white-bearded old Taoist suddenly came to her ears: "I said the little Taoist priest of Putuo Mountain, you haven't even figured out the origin of the peach wood used to make this peach wood sword, and you won't know the magic of this peach wood." In this way, the method you have come up with based on this peach wood will definitely not be able to dispel these illusions in front of you. ”

With the sudden sound of Whitebeard's old man in his ears, Yu Fei'er's thoughts in his mind were immediately disrupted, so he had to put aside the many doubts in his mind for the time being, and replied to the white-bearded old man: "Although Xiao Dao does not have a comprehensive understanding of the origin of this magical peach, he has a full understanding of the special use of this magical peach. This kind of magical peach wood is born with the effect of suppressing evil spirits and warding off evil spirits, so there are many sects in my Taoism that like to use this magical peach wood to make all kinds of magic weapons, among which the most made and the most common is naturally this peach wood sword. Although this peachwood sword is no different from ordinary wood when it slashes at ordinary people, once it slashes at those demons and monsters, it immediately becomes extremely sharp. ”

"Peach wood has the effect of suppressing evil and warding off evil spirits, which has long been known to passers-by, and the little Taoist priest of the Zhengyi Sect has already mentioned it just now, there is nothing unusual. If you want to use the effect of peach wood to suppress and ward off evil spirits in your little Taoist method, then you will be disappointed, because after this peach wood is burned to ashes, its effect of suppressing and warding off evil spirits will inevitably be greatly reduced. The white-bearded old man said after interrupting Yu Fei'er's words.

Yu Fei'er replied with a smile: "Don't worry, old man, the way Yu Fei'er thinks is not to use the effect of peach wood to suppress and ward off evil spirits, but to use another magical effect of it. This magical peach tree seems to have withered after being plucked from the peach tree, but in fact, as long as they reach the hands of those immortals with high mana, they can wither the wood and regain their vitality. Xiaodao knows that with my empty words, the old gentleman will definitely not believe it, but when Xiaodao finishes the following example, you will believe it, old gentleman. It is said that there is such a peach wood staff in the hands of the Antarctic fairy who dominates the life of the world, usually the appearance of this peach wood staff looks no different from ordinary dead wood branches, but once the fairy uses it to cure diseases and save people, as long as the fairy Weng performs his immortal skills on the peach wood stick, the peach wood staff will immediately grow branches and leaves, and then it will blossom and bear fruit, and finally produce a huge fairy peach. After taking this peach, the patient can not only cure the disease, but also prolong his life. As for the peachwood cane that grows branches and leaves, when the peach is plucked, it will quickly revert back to its ordinary cane, which is really amazing!"

The more Yu Fei'er talked, the happier he became, and the white-bearded old Taoist immediately pretended not to believe him after seeing Yu Fei'er's excited expression: "Little Taoist, look at what you said vividly, as if you have really seen the old birthday star heal the sick with your own eyes, I don't believe that you can have that kind of creation at such a young age." ”

"Hey, hey. Yu Fei'er laughed embarrassedly, "Although Xiao Dao has never seen the old birthday star, nor has he seen the whole process of the old birthday star treating people, but my master Puci Daoren has seen it with his own eyes. I remember that after Master finished talking about the process of the old birthday star treating people, he also mentioned something about me in particular, and Master said to me at that time: "Fei'er, speaking of that Antarctic immortal, he is actually your savior." When the Bodhisattva brought you back to Putuo Mountain to entrust you to your teacher, you were already dying in your infancy. Fortunately, on that day, the Antarctic Immortal Weng was in my Putuo Mountain, and after some diagnosis, the Immortal Weng quickly found out the cause of your illness, so the Immortal Weng taught the teacher a set of methods that can eradicate the cause of the disease in your body. After using this method of the immortal man, the teacher not only saved you from being on the verge of life and death, but also made your body have a reborn change. Disciple, if you can see the Antarctic Immortal one day, you must thank the Immortal Weng for his kindness to you. "Master said that, but with Yu Fei'er's creation, it is already a great creation to be able to get a treatment from the immortal, how dare you dare to think that one day you will be able to see the Antarctic immortal again." After saying that, Yu Fei'er shook her head, very sure that she would not have such an opportunity.

"Oh, what more such a coincidence?" said the whitebeard man, narrowing his eyes and staring at Yu Fei'er again. As if he had seen Yu Fei'er for the first time, he was immediately attracted by Yu Fei'er's eyes. He always felt in his heart that Yu Fei'er's eyes were not simple, but he really couldn't see anything special about Yu Fei'er's eyes? At this time, he saw that the pupils in the white-bearded old man's eyes suddenly dilated, as if he had found something in Yu Fei'er's eyes, but he quickly shook his head again, and said to himself: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, it can't be like this." "What did the white-bearded old man see in Yu Fei'er's eyes? and then what did he think of?

After Yu Fei'er finished introducing another magical effect of peach wood, Wen Yiyang nodded again and again, and replied: "Although Brother Dao doesn't know much about the origin of this kind of peach wood, Brother Dao doesn't know a word about the magical effect of this kind of peach wood. Since Brother Dao already knows that this magical peach wood is different from the ordinary wood that we can usually see, then Brother Dao should know that the mortal fire of our human world cannot ignite this aura of peach wood, let alone burn it to ashes, unless this kind of peach wood is placed in the true fire of samadhi, it is possible to ignite it and burn it to ashes. Although the fire that Wen Yiyang used to cast with the talisman spell was far stronger than the mortal fire in the world, it was far worse than the samadhi true fire, and with my current path, I was far from being able to cast the samadhi true fire. To tell the truth, even if Wen Yiyang can really cast the true fire of samadhi, I don't dare to cast it on the beloved things of the master. ”

"Brother Dao is too worried, in this method of Yu Fei'er, you only need a little bit of peach wood ashes, so Brother Dao only needs to cast your fire spell on a certain point of the peach wood sword, once there are ashes burned out at this point of the peach wood sword, Brother Dao can immediately stop your spell. Yu Fei'er believes that with the magical effects of this peachwood, even if there is some minor damage to your peachwood sword, it should be restored quickly. ”

"Brother Dao is not unreasonable, since Brother Dao only needs a little bit of peach wood ashes, then let Wen Yiyang try it. After speaking, Wen Yiyang temporarily put the peachwood sword back into the scabbard behind his back, and at the same time took out a blank rune paper from the Qiankun bag on his waist.

After he drew a spell on the blank rune paper, Wen Yiyang immediately took out the peachwood sword from the scabbard behind his back, and then carefully pierced the drawn talisman on the tip of the sword, and finally held the sword in both hands and stood it on his chest, closed his eyes tightly and began to chant words in his mouth: "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, please Immortals, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas." The disciple today asks the Fire De Star Monarch to come down and give the disciple a spiritual rune. Pray that the runes drawn will be merciful and blessed by the Tao. The divine soldier is as urgent as the law. As soon as the spell came out, the talisman on the tip of the sword immediately turned into a ball of flame and burst into flames.

Disappointingly, the mahogany sword was not only unscathed in the flames, but also had no chance of being burned. From this point of view, can Yu Fei'er's method really only be ancient?
