East out of Python Mountain, sixty-fourth palm, former Python Mountain
The surrounding white expanse, with no edge in sight, and no bottom under your feet, seems to be a pure white space, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. Without the guidance of the golden snake, I am afraid that as soon as you enter here, you will get lost in it, and you will never find your way out.
Under the leadership of the golden snake, Shen Congrong and Feng Muge kept moving forward, and they didn't know if there was a turn in the middle. Finally, after walking for more than half an hour, a mountain appeared in their eyes, and there was a hole in the mountain that was a foot high, like the gate of a mortal house.
Shen Congrong and Feng Muge glanced at each other, surprised and wary of this hidden mountain.
Shen calmly took the fan in his hand, and Feng Muge also made a trick to deal with the dangers that might arise at any time.
Following the little golden snake to the cave, Shen Congrong found that it was indeed like a mortal mansion.
At the entrance is a lush purple bamboo forest, on which the purple gas is swirling, obviously a fairy spirit. There is a small waterfall not far away, and the water flows down from above, and its sound is murmuring, not as great as that of ordinary falling water. The water flows into the dug river channel, which is deliberately planned to carve out the cave, and part of it flows into the bamboo forest, and part into a garden. There is a wooden bridge over the river, and on the opposite side of the bridge is a large mansion, the wall is more than three feet high, like a city wall, and you can't see the scene inside. However, the courtyard of the house is full of purple gas, and it is obvious that there are also purple bamboos planted in it. There is a stone sculpture at the door of the house, like a dragon without claws, like a snake but with horns, Shen calmly recalled the record, remembered that this is what Yu looks like, and the fan in his hand is pinched tighter.
The golden snake took Shen Congrong and the two to a pavilion in the bamboo forest, where there was a stone table and a few stone benches, and next to the pavilion was a small river, the scenery was good, but there was nothing else.
Shen calmly glanced at the little golden snake, and when he saw the little golden snake motioning for them to sit down, he asked, "Do you want us to sit down and wait?"
The little golden snake nodded, signaling that Shen Congrong was right.
Now that he is here, Shen Congrong naturally has nothing to be afraid of, with a magic weapon to protect his body, Feng Muge's injuries are mostly healed, so naturally he doesn't need to worry too much, so he beckoned Feng Muge to sit down, looking at the scenery outside the pavilion, but the fan in his hand was pinched tighter.
Seeing that Shen Congrong and Feng Muge all sat down, the little golden snake turned around and left in satisfaction.
Outside the pavilion, in addition to the purple bamboo forest is the small river, Shen calmly looked at it, the river water is clear and visible, there are some fish and shrimp in it, and most of them are promising species that can be cultivated, such as Arowana, cold fish, shrimp, etc., so many spiritual species are all in this river, surrounded by purple purple bamboo forest, no wonder the little golden snake is so humane.
Feng Muge looked at the surrounding environment and said: "This piece of purple bamboo forest, the spirit fish and shrimp in the water, the golden snake with human nature, and the stone carving at the door, could it be that this is the cave of the purple bamboo immortal?"
Shen calmly leaned on the railing, watching the dragon fish and shrimp in the river playing, and the cold fish jumped out of the water from time to time, which was very harmonious and natural, and his heart felt quite peaceful. After hearing Feng Muge's question, he replied: "It's not impossible, although the Zizhu Immortal did not appear in our records, but from his name, it is naturally related to Zizhu, such a large Zizhu forest here, the blessed land of the cave that is difficult to manpower, and these spiritual objects in the river should all come from the hands of that mysterious Zizhu Immortal." ”
"Yes, this is the Purple Bamboo Immortal's Cave Mansion, and most of these are from the Purple Bamboo Immortal's hands. A voice came from behind him.
Being approached silently, Shen Congrong and Feng Muge became vigilant, and turned to look at the comer. Shen calmly pinched the fan, which could be sacrificed at any time, and the Feng Mu singer pinched the magic trick, and he could attack at any time.
The person who came looked at Shen Congrong and the two vigilant looks, and laughed: "You don't have to be so nervous, if I have malicious intentions towards you, I won't let Xiao Si take you out of the maze, let alone let Xiao Si give you the elixir and bring you here." ”
Hearing the words of the visitor, Shen Congrong knew that the little golden snake was called Xiao Si, and it was ordered by the person to take himself out of the maze, give Feng Muge elixir, and bring the two of them here.
Shen calmly looked at the appearance of the person who came, it was a tall and thin man, with drooping eyebrows, smiling and looking kind, looking like he was in his forties, dressed in a purple robe, standing there with his hands behind his back, like an ordinary old man.
Shen calmly put the fan away and arched his hand: "Thank you, Mr. for your help." ”
The old man in purple let go of this bow and said: "It's nothing, it should be, sit down first, I know you two have a lot of questions, but don't you still have a companion, I'll answer when he arrives, okay?"
Knowing that the old man in purple was talking about Han Qu, Shen Congrong said thank you again and sat down, waiting for Han Qu to arrive.
After sitting down, the old man in purple waved his hand, and a teapot and five teacups appeared on the table.
The purple-clothed old man opened four teacups, poured them full of tea, and gave Shen Congrong and Feng Muge one cup respectively, one cup in front of him, and another cup in front of the empty stone bench, and Han Qu would sit there after a while. After the four cups of tea were divided, the old man in purple turned over the fifth teacup, filled it with tea, walked to the pavilion with the teacup, and sprinkled the tea into the river, and the fish and shrimp competed for tea. After doing all this, the old man in purple sat back, filled the fifth teacup, and placed it in the middle.
Although Shen Congrong felt strange, he didn't ask, just picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and waited for Han Qu to arrive.
As soon as the tea was in his mouth, a fresh fragrance entered his heart and spleen, and Shen calmly felt that the spiritual power in his body was running faster, and the whole person became very energetic, sweeping away the fatigue left by the previous battle.
Feeling the changes in his body, Shen calmly praised: "Good tea!"
"What kind of good tea, I don't know if it's my share?" Han Qu's voice came.
Looking back and forth, Han Qu was walking along the road, and it didn't seem that he was injured, and the one who led the way for him was also a little golden snake, but it shouldn't be the little four.
After leading Han Qu to the edge of the pavilion, the little golden snake rubbed next to the old man in purple and rubbed the old man's legs.
The old man in purple touched the little golden snake's head, then put the fifth cup of tea on the little golden snake's head and let the little golden snake leave.
Han Qu sat in the remaining vacant seat, picked up the teacup, sniffed the fragrance of tea, and then said, "What is the situation, can anyone explain it?
As he spoke, Han Qu took a sip of tea, and after feeling that feeling, he praised: "It's really good tea." ”
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the old man in purple said: "Since everyone has arrived, let's start, let me introduce myself first, my name is Hu Liu, Hu of Populus euphratica, and Liu of willow tree, as you think, my real body is a Yu, this is the cave of the Zizhu Immortal six hundred years ago." As for your basic information, I knew it six hundred years ago, so I don't need to introduce it any more, I know that you have a lot of questions, and you can start asking now, as long as I know what I know, I can answer, and I know everything. ”
Han Qu took another sip of tea and said, "What do you know, what can be answered, it's too general, is there anything detailed?"
Hu Liu smiled and said: "No, but you can ask them one by one, maybe I know all the questions you ask, and I may not be able to say them." ”
Having an ambiguous answer, Han Qu pursed his lips, but he didn't continue to ask, but sipped tea and waited for Shen Congrong to speak.
Seeing that Han Qu stopped talking, Shen said calmly: "Your name is Hu Liu, and there is also a Yu outside, called Liu Hu, what is your relationship?"
Hu Liu said with some surprise: "I thought you would ask for information about the Zizhu Immortal first. ”
Shen looked at Hu Liu calmly and said, "What, can't this question be answered?"
"It's not. Hu Liu waved his hand and said: "That Liu Hu outside, originally practiced under the Purple Bamboo Immortal Constellation like me, six hundred years ago, he created some events in order to transform into a Jiao, attracting a god and a mortal. At the beginning, the Zizhu Immortal didn't believe in the things that Liu Hu did, but the evidence that the other party came up with made it impossible to refute, and in the end, the Zizhu Immortal still handed over Liu Hu's practice to the god, and made an agreement with them, originally Liu Hu was taken away, it should be more auspicious, but I didn't expect that only six hundred years have passed, and he will turn Jiao again, and he came back this time, presumably there are some things I don't know about in the middle of the events of the year. ”
After listening to Hu Liu's answer, Han Qu said, "What incident did he do back then, who is that god and mortal, and why didn't he find this place when he came back this time?"
The three questions in a row are all aimed at the doubts in Hu Liu's first answer.
Hu Liu said: "This god is Wanlong Zhenren Xun Yan, as for mortals, I remember that it is called Feng Tianyuan." What Liu Hu did back then was the same as what he is doing now, which was nothing more than collecting mortal blood, stealing luck, and helping himself to turn into a Jiao, and his actions hurt the peace of heaven and rebelled against human ethics, I think this is also the reason why you tracked down Python Mountain. As for why he didn't find this place, of course, it's because it's not the same place now as it was then. ”
"Because back then, Xun Yan used the Ten Thousand Dragon Diagram to cover Python Mountain and destroy all ten thousand demons in ten days?" asked Shen Congrong.
Hu Liu nodded and said: "At that time, those demons under Liu Hu's hands were driven to Python Mountain by Wanlong Zhenren and two mortals, and then we hid the cave here, and after that, you know Wanlong Zhenren used Wanlong Diagram to destroy demons in Python Mountain." ”
Shen calmly rubbed his chin and said, "This should be the one we found in the record of Xun Yan, Han Dengfu and Feng Yuren, but what is recorded in that record is that they found something to reach Python Mountain." ”
Hu Liudao: "The record you said should be another version of something, it is very likely that the gods and demons made the ghosts, Wanlong Zhenren and that Feng Tianyuan said when they came, they were targeted by the gods and demons, I am afraid there will be no good death." Although I am lonely and unheard, I also know the status of the two of them, since they are targeted by gods and demons and cannot have a good death, the people who are eyeing them must have complete means of dealing with the aftermath, as for what they are looking for, we have nothing here, only this bamboo forest, a house, a few small snakes, some fish and shrimp. ”
Shen Congrong still felt that something was not right, if there was really nothing, then Liu Hu should also know, but Liu Hu returned to Python Mountain, and Hu Liu also avoided Liu Hu, there must be something hidden here, and this thing is at least very important to Liu Hu.
With this thought, Shen Congrong asked, "Liu Hu Huajiao can be anywhere, why does he want to return to Python Mountain?"
Hu Liu said: "There is no difference between our cultivation and people and gods and demons, but we can also transform into a body, and our transformation will be more out of the way where we were before, and enter another new way, which is a great rebellion in the eyes of heaven, so it will release the thunder tribulation to prevent us from crossing the path, it is also ridiculous to say, people who cultivate gods and demons will not have such a powerful thunder tribulation, because they all have luck protection, so we need luck, we need magic weapons, in order to make ourselves successful." We have the luck left by Feng Tianyuan here six hundred years ago, and a few magic weapons left by Zizhu Immortal and Wanlong Zhenren, which can help Liu Hu turn Jiaojiao, so he will come back, but more importantly, there are no other spirit beasts here, and there are no cultivators in charge, so it is convenient to act. ”
Shen Congrong glanced back at the house and said, "Luck and magic weapons are all placed in that house, why haven't you transformed for so many years?"
Hu Liu looked at the house and said: "Yes, it's all in that house, but I can't get it, as for why I haven't transformed for so many years, it's because the Zizhu Immortal told me back then that the time of my transformation was just recently, and I don't need the luck and magic weapons in the house, those things are what they prepared for you." ”
"For us?" Han Qu was quite surprised, because he was not a Qin person, and he had nothing to do with Feng Tianyuan and Wanlong Zhenren, and the luck and magic weapons they prepared could also be shared?
"Not everyone, of course. Hu Liu shook his head, pointed at Shen Congrong and Feng Muge, and said, "Luck and magic weapons are prepared for these two. ”
"Sure enough. Han Qu pursed his lips and continued to drink tea.
Seeing Han Qu's appearance, Hu Liu said: "But you don't have to be so frustrated, they also counted your arrival back then, so they prepared some spiritual tea and spiritual bamboo for you." ”
Han Qu was quite happy when he heard that he also had a share, but when he heard the specific content, he pointed to the teacup and the purple bamboo forest outside and said, "That's all, the spiritual tea that everyone has and this large piece of bamboo that anyone can take?"
Hu Liu smiled: "These bamboos are not something anyone can take, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try, and the spirit tea, I think you have also experienced its effect, but what you are given is a thousand years of spirit bamboo and spirit tea leaves." ”
Of course, Han Qu knew that these bamboos were not ordinary things, and although he was very happy in his heart after hearing the thousand-year-old spirit bamboo and tea leaves, he still said, "In this case, it's okay." ”
Although the topic turned a little farther away, Shen Congrong still pulled back and said, "Who are the Zizhu Immortals, and what agreement did they make back then?"
Hu Liu said: "Zizhu Immortal is a very good person, he treats everything equally, that's why he will educate the demons in Python Mountain and guide the people, he is a very good friend with Wanlong Zhenren, that is, they will make an agreement at that time, because there is no one else to cooperate." As for what agreement they made, I really don't know about this, and you should be able to get the answer when you pass the three levels. ”
"Three passes?" Shen calmly captured an important piece of information.
Hu Liu nodded and said: "Yes, they have set up three levels, as long as the three levels are broken, luck and magic weapons can be taken away, and some things I don't know are also in it, if you can't break it, then I'm sorry." ”
Han Qu asked, "Have you broken these three levels, what are they?"
Hu Liu said: "Of course I haven't broken it, the things inside are not prepared for me, I don't need to break them, so I don't know what's inside." ”
"Oh. Han Qu responded, but obviously Han Qu didn't believe it.
Shen Congrong continued to ask: "You said that Liu Hu wanted to turn into a Jiao when he returned to Python Mountain, but he faced us at the top of the four peaks, and finally committed suicide, and even detonated himself with heavenly thunder, is this a little wrong." ”
Hu Liudao: "Because that's not Liu Hu's real body, if Liu Hu's real body is there, I don't dare to let Xiao Si take you out of the big array, the one on the four peaks is a doppelganger, but that doppelganger seems to be very interesting, because he doesn't look like a doppelganger." ”
"It's not like a doppelganger, what do you mean?" asked Shen calmly.
Hu Liudao: "After he left the real body Liu Hu, he once released a signal to inform me that Liu Hu's real body left Python Mountain, and he also moved the animals living on Python Mountain to the five peaks and beyond, and the first four peaks were vacated, and he said before committing suicide that he wanted to be a human in the next life, these operations are too weird, this is not like what the doppelganger does, you must know that the doppelganger will not disobey the will of the real body, unless ......"
"Unless this is the will of his true body?" Shen calmly added Hu Liu's words.
Hu Liu nodded and said, "Yes, but what Liu Hu's real body did, including bringing you here, doesn't look like a person with this idea." ”
Shen calmly recalled: "Yes, I can't see it at all. ”
Hu Liu said: "Yes, that's why it's very strange, is there any problem, if not, do you see if you start the three-level trial now?"
Shen Congrong was attracted by the strangeness of Liu Hu's clone that Hu Liu just said, which was too unreasonable, after hearing Hu Liu's question, Shen Congrong said: "Can you tell me in detail about Liu Hu's things back then and what happened after?"
Hu Liu said: " Liu Hu is a cultivation genius, he can transform into a human form in only a hundred years, and he can turn into a Jiao in four hundred years, but he is in a hurry, turning a group of people into half-demons, in order to plunder the luck of the human race, after being discovered, the Zizhu Immortal once asked him where he learned this method, because the Zizhu Immortal never taught him to do this will speed up his cultivation, but he did not say the reason, only said that he was willing to be punished, so the Zizhu Immortal abolished his cultivation and injured his foundation, and handed him over to Wanlong Zhenren, after which I don't know, because when Wanlong Zhenren came again, he did not bring Liu Hu with him。 However, it has only been 600 years, and it is really unimaginable that he can repair the foundation and rebuild to the transformation stage. ”
After listening to Hu Liu's detailed explanation, Shen Congrong felt that some of these situations were very problematic, but he couldn't say it, he only felt very strange.
