Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 512

It is different from Zhu Sidong, which is a little withered because Zhu Si fell into a deep sleep.

The Earth Immortal Temple where the Baimu Daxian is located has become more and more powerful in the past hundred years.

As one of the two demon kings in the Peng'an realm, plus the senior brother status of Immortal Zhu Si.

Baimu Daxian has actually become the top existence that truly holds power in the entire Peng'an realm.

Yan Jing and Zhu Xia noticed this the first time they approached the Earth Immortal Temple.

It was also built in the Demon King's Cave Mansion in the deep mountains and dense forests, and the excitement on both sides was basically one in the sky and the other in the underground.

The two of them are now in a position where they can see the continuous lights on the mountain road in front of the Earth Immortal Temple, and groups of monsters.

Although the mountain forest is dense, it has obviously been cleared deliberately. There are no evil plants or animals near the mountain road. There are little demons in Taoist robes guarding the mountain road at intervals. Stone buildings and lampposts respond. all available.

If it wasn't for the soaring evil spirit in front of him, Yan Jing really thought he had come to the Taoist mountain gate.

"Your senior brother really values ​​ostentation, does it happen every day?"

Standing next to the leopard that was captured as a temporary mount, Yan Jing looked at several particularly eye-catching teams that appeared in the forest ahead.

Can faintly hear singing from over there.

"Yi Shan Jun, I offer two mountain essences and five spiritual ginseng, congratulations to the Baimu Great Immortal!"

"Yinjiang Taoist, I present ten black dragon fish tails and one water spirit pearl, congratulations to Immortal Baimu!"

"Monk of Prey, I present a magic treasure, a golden bell, and two fires of ghosts, Buddhas and souls, congratulations to Immortal Baimu!"

Every time a team approached the mountain gate of the Earth Immortal Temple, special monsters would announce the gifts they sent, and then there would be the sound of gongs and drums to celebrate, making the quiet forest noisy.

"It shouldn't be like this on weekdays."

Zhu Xia stopped to look at it for a while, counted with her fingers, and said,
"At this point in time, I think it should be the day when the baby spirit fruit matures. These monsters came to celebrate. They were probably invited by my senior brother. In order to obtain a baby spirit fruit that can wash the pulse and cut the marrow, they each brought Come press the baby at the bottom of the box."

"Spirit baby fruit?"

"The most precious spiritual plant in Peng'an, my brother said it was cultivated from a fairy fruit seed he brought back from Zhongshan City. Although it is difficult to achieve its original magical effect due to the influence of the environment, it can also make ordinary monsters reborn. .”

Recalling the past, Zhu Xia stopped abruptly in the middle of her speech, and added after a brief pause,
"If I remember correctly, this fairy fruit seed should have been brought back 200 years ago. When Zhongshan City was just established, the demons were obsessed with finding the candle dragon, and then used it to exchange for the blessings of the extraterrestrial demons. The fairy fruit is to lure One of the elements of Yinzhulong seemed to be proved to be useless at the time, so it was directly eaten, and the seeds were divided by all parties."

During the conversation between the two, all the monsters who came to celebrate had already entered the Earth Immortal Temple.

Zhu Xia drove away the mountain leopard, suddenly opened her mouth and took a long breath, absorbing the evil energy in the surrounding environment into her body.

Previously in Zhu Si's cave, the evil energy in her body was dispelled by Yan Jing. If she passed in her current state, she would probably be noticed by Baimu Daxian before she could speak, so she could only make some disguises now.

With Yan Jing present, after leaving the Earth Immortal Temple later, he only needs to get rid of the evil energy in his body.

"I will go to the door alone, and you will wait and see from the outside. As long as I can successfully obtain enough information, I will evacuate immediately. If there is any change, it will inform you. Baimu's current situation is unknown, and I'm not sure whether he can maintain his previous sanity. "

Raising her hand to Yan Jing, a translucent thumb-sized spider crawled along Zhu Xia's palm to the back of Yan Jing's hand.

On the way here, the two discussed whether to enter the Earth Immortal Temple together, and finally decided to split up.

There is no way, Yan Jing is still human after all.

On the other hand, there are some demons and ghosts in the fairy temple.

Zhu Xia herself also appeared suddenly after being sealed for decades, so it's hard not to arouse suspicion.

Baimu Daxian said that he was Zhu Xia's senior brother, but in fact it was just a name.

Both of them were cultivated by spirits and monsters in the mountains. The master only has this world, so the friendship is naturally not as deep as imagined.

Zhu Xia disguised herself by absorbing the evil energy in the surrounding environment. After making sure that she would not be exposed, she went straight to the Earth Immortal Temple, and her appearance unsurprisingly caused the Earth Immortal Temple to vibrate.

, she has always been the demon king recognized by the Peng'an territory.

Yan Jing hid in the dense forest, covered her own breath, looked around, and quickly found a particularly lush giant tree to climb up, and with [Tong Xuan], she could easily see the scene inside and outside the Temple of the Earth Immortal.

The first thing he noticed was another tyrannical aura suddenly rising in the Earth Immortal Temple after Zhu Xia appeared.

Immortal Zhu Si, who has disappeared for decades, is coming, so it is impossible for Xiaodaotong to receive him.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist crown striding out of the temple. Before he arrived, the voice spread out first, ignoring the monsters who had just entered the temple who came to congratulate him, and went straight to Zhu Xia went away.

Realizing that this guy should be Baimu Daxian, Yan Jing's eyes flashed with brilliance, and [Dong Xu] and [Double Pupils] were activated one after another.

Zhu Xia had reminded her when she came that Baimu Daxian had joined the camp of extraterrestrial demons a hundred years ago, participated in the hunting of Candle Dragon in Zhongshan City, and had a small reputation, otherwise she would not have gotten the fairy fruit seeds.

This means that Baimu Daxian has probably started to take the initiative to transform into evil spirits, trying to transform himself into evil spirits with a certain degree of rationality, and this is what many demons are pursuing.

After all, in their view, this world has been polluted, and the creatures in it cannot escape this catastrophe.

Since no one can escape this ending, it is better to adapt earlier.

Because of this, Yan Jing wanted to confirm the situation of the Baimu Daxian first, and was making follow-up plans.

However, in just a few seconds of observation, Yan Jing's expression became more serious.

The existence of the dragon and tiger Yama statue made Yan Jing's perception of evil spirits extremely keen. Even though the two sides were separated by hundreds of meters, he still clearly felt that the progress of Baimu Daxian's transformation into evil spirits had probably far exceeded Zhu Xia's imagination.

What's more, the Baimu Daxian obviously couldn't control the overflow of evil energy, so he could only use the soaring evil spirit to cover up this abnormal state.

Monsters with lower strength than him will only think that Baimu Daxian is powerful, but will not think about the deeper level.

just
Baimu Daxian has clearly reached the critical moment of transforming into an evil spirit, why did he choose this time to hold a banquet and invite the famous monsters in Peng'an to come here.

Just to celebrate the spiritual baby fruit he planted?
Looking down at the spider lying on the back of the hand, there was no movement at present, Yan Jing quickly realized that Baimu Daxian might have ulterior motives for this banquet, but now Zhu Xia has entered the Taoist temple.

At least until Zhu Xia got enough information, Yan Jing couldn't let Baimu Daxian notice the abnormality.

of course.

Yan Jing didn't intend to just watch like this, but chose to avoid the main entrance of Dixian Temple and sneak in.

Since the banquet was going to be held, it was nominally to celebrate the ripening of the Lingying fruit, and the venue was known to be near the Lingying fruit tree without even thinking about it. Yan Jing didn't need to lead the way at all, as long as he found the location of the Lingying fruit tree.

The spiritual plants cultivated from fairy fruit seeds are naturally extraordinary.

As soon as she crossed the courtyard wall of the Earth Immortal Temple from the side, Yan Jing's gaze was quickly attracted by a blue-purple flourishing tree in the distance.

Its trunk is bluish-black, extremely thick, roughly the size of 20 people hugging each other, and the surface is even more ravines, intertwined like blood vessels and meridians of living beings. The height is average, only 30 meters, and it is a little bloated.

The canopy is extraordinarily luxuriant, and the color gradually changes from blue and black at the bottom to dark purple at the top.

The whole fruit tree is shrouded in a misty purple light, and there are many strange-looking fruits hanging between the branches.

Even though there were some guesses from their names, Yan Jing still couldn't help frowning when she saw these sleeping baby-like fruits.

What made him even more concerned was that this so-called spiritual plant cultivated from fairy fruit seeds gave him an extremely gloomy aura. Although it was full of vitality, it was still difficult to conceal the disgusting filth and death in it. !
Combined with the chaotic state that Baimu Daxian was about to completely transform into an evil spirit, Yan Jing suddenly had a guess in his heart.

It seems that this banquet is most likely a Hongmen banquet.
While Yan Jing sneaked into the Earth Immortal Temple, the greetings at the entrance of the temple had also ended.

The two demon kings, Baimu and Zhu Xia, walked in the front, and the rest of the demons followed respectfully, not daring to overstep.

"Junior Sister, you said that the evil energy in the body was greatly dissipated because of eliminating the inner demon. Does the inner demon still have such a miraculous effect?"

Shaking the Taoist robe lightly, he took out a few pills and stuffed them into his mouth. Immortal Baimu stared straight at the radiant Zhu Xia with his slightly yellow eyes, sensing the latter's breath, he couldn't help asking with a strange expression.

"I don't know either. It's just a guess. It can't be ruled out that it's because the treasure in Zhu Si's cave may not be believed. My group of apprentices accidentally found a stone slab a few years ago. It was engraved with ancient flowers, birds, fish and insects. , They placed the stone slab in the place where I slept, and over time, the evil energy in my body gradually melted away, and even my inner demons were relieved."

This excuse was thought up by Zhu Xia on the way here, anyway, Baimu will definitely not be able to find those spider spirits who have been frozen into ice sculptures to verify in a short time.

"It can dispel the evil energy. It's a pity, it would be great if you came earlier."

Grabbing Zhu Xia's wrist, he carefully sensed the evil energy in her body, his eyes couldn't hide his excited expression, but then he seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.
"Did Junior Sister take such treasures with her?"

"I really came here in a hurry. I was just in a hurry to see Senior Brother and tell you the good news. That's why the stone slab is still stored in Zhusi Cave. If Senior Brother wants to see it, I'll go back and get it right away?"

"No, don't be so anxious. When the banquet is over, I will go there with you. The baby spirit fruit only matures once in a hundred years. Don't miss this opportunity."

Hearing that Zhu Xia wanted to go back to get it, her eyes flickered, she hurriedly waved her hands to keep the former, and said,
"There are seven ripe fruits this time. Apart from the fellow Taoists I invited from the Peng'an realm, there are two or three remaining, which are enough to bring you and me to a higher level. Congratulations on your breakthrough. Get rid of your demons."

"Then thank you brother."

Zhu Xia looked at Baimu in surprise, she knew how much the latter valued the Lingying fruit tree.

It blooms every 30 years, bears fruit every 30 years, and matures every 30 years. It is a unique gift, and she is willing to share it with others, which makes Zhu Xia vaguely aware of something strange.

It's just that what she wants now is to obtain information as soon as possible, and she doesn't care about other things, so she just asked,
"In a few days, I want to go to Zhongshan City and meet my old friends. I don't know where the old turtle in the Tongtian River is. It's still sinking at the bottom of the water like before. You have to give gifts to your door to ride the fish. dragon?"

"Tongtianhe changed its owner more than ten years ago. The old turtle was affected by the evil energy, and his strength declined so badly that he was overthrown by the current master of Tongtianhe. Now he wants to go to Zhongshan City. I have to give a present to the translator, junior sister, if you want to go, I will write a book later, then the translator is old with me, so I won’t embarrass you.”

Stroking three strands of beard, Baimu recalled what happened to Tongtianhe a few years ago, and said.

"Is Lao Yuan still alive?"

"Not dead, that old guy has been entrenched in Tongtianhe for so many years, even if he can't win, running for his life will not be a problem."

Noticing the expression on Zhu Xia's face, Baimu couldn't help frowning and reminded,

"I know you have an old relationship with that old turtle. Back then, that damned evil barrier left you, even if you took it to go to Zhongshan City. Brother, I won't hide it from you. It is only under the order of the dragon demon king in Zhongshan City that you can become a ghost. The new Tongtian River Lord, you'd better not have any contact with it in the future, there were quite a few monsters who held grudges about that incident back then."

"Brother, don't worry, I've introspected to the point that so many years have passed before I knew it. Now that I think about it, the friends I met in Zhongshan City back then don't know if they will recognize me when they meet again."

Memories of the past emerged in her mind, that familiar face coincided with the young man outside the Immortal Temple at this time, Zhu Xia's expression was gloomy, and after a short silence, a flash of determination flashed in her eyes, but her face still had a casual expression, casually asked,
"By the way, I remember that Zhongshan City was built to eliminate Candle Dragon. In the past few decades, has Candle Dragon been found by those demon kings?"

"I heard that there is some progress, but it's just progress. Things that haven't been achieved in hundreds of years, decades are not enough time, but now there are many demon kings in Zhongshan City. Don't worry about any storms."

Not only Zhu Xia, Baimu's attention was not actually in this conversation, and he didn't notice the temptation between the former's words at all. Instead, he walked faster and faster towards the Lingying fruit tree, coughing a few times from time to time.

The monsters following behind were all thinking about enjoying the Lingying fruit, but Zhu Xia frowned secretly, and turned sideways to look at the shadow dragging behind Baimu.

I don't know if it's because it overlaps with the shadows of nearby trees or something else.

Under the moonlight.

Dozens of long and narrow "twigs" were extended from the shadows cast by hundreds of eyes on the ground, swinging endlessly.
