The heavens start from Quanzhen swordsmanship

The overall shape of the palace of Wusang Kingdom is like a huge Wusang tree, and the branches extending from the top of the wall are still hung with Wusang fruits.

The city walls are so tall that they look like insurmountable mountains.

The gate was brown and was wide open at this moment. The guards standing on both sides were wearing iron armor and holding spears.

The road beneath my feet was paved with black stones. The palace servants walked quickly with their heads down. The hems of their clothes rubbed against the ground softly, and a heavy silence filled the air.

Xu Zhiqing and the other two followed an official, who looked around the palace of the Wusang Kingdom and was quite surprised.

The country of Wusang was not big to him, but the palace of Wusang looked solemn.

Especially the patrolling guards, who walked by with halberds in their hands, and the crisp sounds of their armor colliding made the entire palace look unusually solemn.

Not long after, Xu Zhiqing and the other two followed the officials in front of them and arrived at a hall.

The interior decoration of the temple is different from the outside.

The emperor's throne hangs high, and on the dragon chair are carved branches of black mulberry trees that spread across the sky step by step.

The branches are carved so vividly that the trees look as if they are growing on them.

At this time, sitting on the throne was the king of Wusang Kingdom.

This is a young man who looks to be about thirty years old. He is wearing golden clothes with beautiful mulberry tree patterns on them.

The young man had black hair and a wooden crown on his head. He was currently reviewing the documents on the imperial desk.

After the official came in, he walked quickly to the king who was reviewing documents at his desk and whispered something.

"Lord, is the Immortal Master here?"

After hearing the official's report, the king put down the red pen after reviewing the memorial in his hand and stretched lazily.

The king raised his head and looked at Xu Zhiqing and the other two.

When he saw the appearance of Xu Zhiqing and the other two, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This immortal master looks exceptionally young.

"Come here, give me a seat!"

Upon hearing this, someone moved a seat downstairs.

Xu Zhiqing saluted the king.

"I, Xu Qingzi, greet the king!"

"Master, thank you for your courtesy. Please take a seat!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded slightly and sat down.

When the King of Wusang saw Xu Zhiqing sitting down, he clapped his hands.

"Someone, bring the treasure up!"

As he said this, three palace maids came out from the side door carrying trays in their hands.

The trays of the three palace maids were all covered with red cloth.

Through the red cloth, you can see the vague round outline underneath.

After the King of Wusang and the other three maids stood firm, he whispered, "Open it!"

The three palace maids did not move, but a eunuch, who was over a thousand years old, carefully used a wooden stick to lift the red cloth covering the tray, revealing three black mulberry fruits on the tray.

The Wusang Kingdom is about the size of a fist, black in color, and exudes a fresh fragrance.

"Master, this is the fruit grown from the Wusang tree, our Wusang country's national treasure. This fruit is produced every ten years, and it takes ten years to grow and ten years to mature!"

"Thirty years in total!"

"If a mortal eats it, he will be strong and healthy, and immune to all diseases!"

"Those who practice cultivation will gain more mana if they eat it!"

The king of Wusang State naturally knew the efficacy of the Wusang fruit.

He told Xu Zhiqing because he was afraid that he didn't know.

There is also an element of showing off in the words.

When Xu Zhiqing heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He actually had a question in his mind.

That is, since the King of Wusang knew the benefits of the Wusang fruit, why didn't he practice it?
If a person has the ancient Wusang tree, he can definitely cultivate to the realm of immortals.

"Master, although this fruit is good, one person can only take one in his lifetime!"

"Taking the second pill won't have any effect!"

After the king talked about the advantages, he talked about the disadvantages.

There was a sense of regret in his words.

Xu Zhiqing just smiled.

He thought so too. In fact, it was not just the fruit, but also some pills.

Eating it at the beginning will increase your mana, but the increased mana will become weaker at the end.

It seems that this fruit cannot avoid such shortcomings.

The spiritual plants he planted in Lingyun Cave were now only used to fill their stomachs.

Most of them are used by Long'er to make wine, and the effect of making wine after that exceeds that of the fruit.

The king said, and waved his hand.

The three palace maids understood what the king meant, so they stepped forward and placed the three trays in front of Xu Zhiqing one by one.

Xu Zhiqing smelled the fragrance of Wusang Country, and he sensed the pure and spiritual energy contained in Wusang Country.

"Thank you, Lord, for the fruit!"

After he thanked her, Cheng Jiayao beside him put the fruits in the wooden bottle into a porcelain bottle.

"Master, in addition to these three fruits, there is also another seedling in this competition!"

"The seedlings can't be dug out directly, otherwise they will die soon!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded to show that he understood.

Some spiritual plants, even if they are dug out or withered, will gradually come back to life as long as they find a good place.

But some spiritual plants cannot.

Obviously, the seedlings of the mulberry fruit tree are of this type.

"Lord, these black mulberry fruits and black mulberry fruit seedlings are extraordinary things. I wonder why the Lord wants to take out these things and summon the immortal master?"

After Xu Zhiqing received the benefits, he asked about the king's difficulties.

Cause and effect are inseparable. Since he has obtained the result, he should help the king solve the cause.

What needs to be summoned is the immortal master who can control the clouds and rain, so some places must need one or several heavy rains.

When the king heard Xu Zhiqing say this, a look of sadness appeared on his face.

"To be honest, Master, I invited you here just to see if you can solve the problems of my Wusang country!"

"what is the problem?"

Xu Zhiqing asked directly.

"There is a Wushan Mountain behind our Wusang Kingdom. All the rivers in our Wusang Kingdom flow down from a spring in Wushan Mountain and then connect together!"

"Not long ago, a monster came and occupied the spiritual spring of Wushan. After that, it drank up most of the water every day!"

"The water flow has become scarce, causing the water level of the entire river in our Wusang country to drop!"

When Wusangguo said this, his face looked heavy.

"People in China don't know about this yet, but as time goes on, I'm afraid it will cause panic among the people in China!"

"So, I would like to ask the Immortal Master... to use the Rainmaking Technique to satisfy that monster!"

When mortals encounter a monster and cannot defeat it, they will do things the same way the monster does.

"Lord, have you found out what kind of monster that is?"

Since we have to use water to satisfy the monster?
"I don't know!"

The king shook his head.

"We wanted to send some people up, but everyone who went up was thrown down by the monster!"

"That monster said that he only needs to stay in Wushan for ten years, and he will leave after ten years!"

When the king said this, he clenched his fists and tapped the table.

"In just half a year, the water level of all the rivers in Wusang has dropped by one degree. If it takes ten years, in less than five years, I estimate that the rivers in Wusang will dry up!"

"That monster doesn't kill people, it just drinks water!"

"I suggested that he drink the water from the river, but for some reason, the monster just didn't want to go!"

Xu Zhiqing became interested.

Since coming to this world, he has not seen many monsters.

It can be said that they are basically the simplest monsters.

Wolf demons, tiger demons and the like.

He had never seen a fox transformed into a monster.

He seldom goes out, so he has never seen such a monster.

Now that I'm out, it's a good opportunity to broaden my horizons.

"So I hope the Immortal Master can fulfill the monster's wish to drink water!"

"Are you sure he just drank the water?"

"Sure. We saw that the monster didn't kill anyone, so we sent people up there. The monster cut off half of the spiritual spring water every day, drank the water and did nothing else!"

When Xu Zhiqing heard this, he nodded.

"If it's just drinking water, then it's quite simple, but why doesn't he go to the big rivers?" The king said helplessly.

"We don't know either!"

"I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me. If I ask him again, it will hurt people!"

"interesting!"

Xu Zhiqing wanted to see the monster now.

"Lord, since I have taken your Wusang fruit, I will naturally help you get rid of this monster!"

"No, no, no, Master, please don't fight with the monsters. Our Wusang Nation can't bear it!"

The king had heard that a fight between monsters and immortal masters could cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split.

If Wushan was destroyed, the entire Wusangguo would be without water.

At that time, they could only find a way to bring water from outside.

That would cause them some harm to the country and the people.

This is not what he wants to see.

"As long as the Immortal Master can satisfy him with water, that's enough!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded when he heard this.

"Row!"

He agreed.

If he doesn't want to take action, he will choose not to take action.

He also understood that when immortals fight, mortals suffer.

Obviously, the king also understands this truth.

"In that case, Lord, shall we go and see that monster as soon as possible?"

"Come here, prepare the carriage and take the Immortal Master to Wushan!"

Someone immediately went to prepare the horse.

"Master, it takes a day to get from here to Wushan..."

"too slow!"

Xu Zhiqing shook his head. He didn't want to delay for a day.

"Just tell me the direction!"

"In the south..."

After the king finished speaking, Xu Zhiqing nodded and stood up.

"Lord, I'm going to go check on that monster now!"

After Xu Zhiqing said this, he took Yue Lingshan and Cheng Jiayao and left the palace directly.

Directly flew away.

After the king chased out, Xu Zhiqing and the other two were nowhere to be seen.

He only saw a cloud flying in the sky, then getting farther and farther away.

In less than a cup of tea, Xu Zhiqing and the other two arrived above Wushan Mountain.

Wushan is not big, with only about a few dozen battles.

Xu Zhiqing could sense a hint of spiritual energy from Wushan Mountain.

“It’s still a sacred mountain, but the spiritual energy is too poor!”

After Xu Zhiqing took a quick look, he saw a spiritual spring on the top of the mountain.

The mouth of the spiritual spring was only the size of a fist. Spring water gushed out from it and flowed down along Wushan Mountain. It gathered other flowing waters and eventually turned into rivers.

"Where is the monster?"

Xu Zhiqing didn't see the monster at first glance.

"Brother, look over there, there's a strange cow lying on the ground!"

Yue Lingshan pointed to a place and thought the cow there looked very strange.

Xu Zhiqing took a look and found that it was a rhinoceros.

The rhinoceros exuded a strong demonic aura.

In addition to the demonic aura, the rhinoceros also had a faint, pure and spiritual aura.

In addition, this monster actually has dragon energy?
Xu Zhiqing became interested.

He thought of the Bull Demon King, but there are thousands of bull monsters, and this rhinoceros monster is not the Bull Demon King.

Besides, the Bull Demon King is a cannibal.

Xu Zhiqing landed.

The rhinoceros lying on the ground saw Xu Zhiqing at the first moment.

"Moo?"

He looked at Xu Zhiqing warily.

"My name is Xu Qingzi, nice to meet you, Brother Niu!"

Xu Zhiqing saluted with a smile. He looked the rhino up and down, and had some guesses about its identity in his mind.

"What do you want from me?"

The rhino remained alert and began to gather strength.

"I happened to pass by here and saw that Brother Rhino seemed to be injured... so I came to take a look!"

Xu Zhiqing saw that the rhino seemed to be seriously injured.

When the rhinoceros heard this, it stood up and took a few steps back.

"So what if I'm injured?"

"If you dare to attack me, do you believe I will fight you to the death?"

"You only have one life, so don't fight for it!"

As Xu Zhiqing spoke, he pointed the sword in his hand towards the ground.

The flat stone on the ground was immediately cut into two pieces by him.

"Brother Niu!"

"I'm giving you a piece of advice, get out of here!"

Xu Zhiqing realized that this rhinoceros must be a monster that occupied this place.

He was curious in his heart, but he didn't ask too many questions.

"it is good!"

There was anger in the rhinoceros' eyes, but he knew that he was no match for the Taoist in front of him.

"I leave!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Wait!"

"what are you up to?"

The rhino turned around with an angry look on his face.

"I'm ready to leave!"

"Here you go!"

Xu Zhiqing took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and threw it to Rhino.

Rhino opened it and sniffed it.

As soon as he smelled it, he felt that the wounds in his body showed signs of healing.

"What are you doing?"

Rhino looked at Xu Zhiqing in confusion, wondering why this man gave him the elixir.

"I was invited by the King of Wusang. You have occupied the source of the spiritual spring here, and you have been drinking from it for so long. I'm afraid that by the time you recover from your injuries, the entire Wusang country will be dry!"

He also realized that the rhinoceros must be relying on the spiritual spring water here to heal its wounds.

"Since I let you leave, let this pill be your compensation!"

Xu Zhiqing didn't know why the rhino was injured or who its enemy was.

He guessed that the rhino was quite miserable, having to run to this barren place to heal its wounds.

"Old Cow thanks the Taoist priest!"

The rhino looked at Xu Zhiqing intently, then turned around and slowly left.

"Brother, is this a rhino spirit?"

Xu Zhiqing shook his head.

"No, he just looks like a rhino. He should be a water swallower!"

“Isn’t the water swallower a divine beast?”

"If he wasn't a divine beast, he would have drunk up all the spiritual spring water here long ago, and would not have left any for the ruler of Wusang Nation!"

After saying this, Xu Zhiqing took Cheng Jiayao and Yue Lingshan back directly.

The three of them returned to the palace. The king, who was sitting in the hall, felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw them come back so quickly.

"Master, could it be that the monster doesn't want to leave?" (End of this chapter)
