Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 67
The wind is gentle and the sun is shining.

In the garden, a quiet and beautiful pond surrounds exquisite pavilions.

Chen Yun squatted by the pit and stared at the pottery altar, wanting to know whether this evil ghost was telling lies or whether he had summoned him truthfully.

If he is telling lies, this evil ghost will probably not tell the truth, and will try his best to deceive himself into a convenient place.

Chen Yun thought about it, even if he knew where the treasure was later, he would not go there in person.

He would ask Huang Dalang or Huang Erlang to go there while he stayed on top.

Whenever something is wrong, sorry, the devil will die.

Of course, I will ensure the safety of Huang Dalang and Huang Erlang, such as drawing a peace and disaster amulet for them to take with them.

But if the evil ghost is summoned truthfully, it means that his character is not bad, so you can try to believe it.

The ghost knew he had no choice, so he had no choice but to say: "There is a secret room one foot below the jar containing my corpse. There is an altar full of spells in it. In the middle of the altar, a spiritual root is cultivated, and there are two fruits on it. One fruit It ripened four days ago. Yesterday, the peel cracked and the juice spilled all over the ground. The other fruit has just matured. According to my previous observations, the peel will also crack if you don't pick it for the past two days."

Chen Yun asked: "Is there any more?"

"No more." After Li Gui finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and added: "When you take out the jar containing my corpse later, cover it with a cloth first, otherwise I will lose the nourishment of underground spiritual energy, and I will be wiped out as soon as the sun shines on it. Take out the jar Please put it in a cool place without sunlight. If I don’t have spiritual energy for a short period of time, I won’t disappear. It can’t last more than two hours, otherwise I will definitely die.”

Chen Yun nodded and said, "Okay."

He probably had some idea, so he stood up and looked to the side and said, "Brother Huang, Brother Huang, please dig out the jar."

Huang Dalang and Huang Erlang said in unison: "Yes, Chen Xianchang."

Chen Yun looked to the other side and said, "Third Master, could you please ask someone to bring a piece of thicker and larger cloth over, along with the ink and yellow paper."

"Here."

In response, the third master turned to look at the family members watching behind him, and shouted, "Da Wen, Xiao Wu, one of you is going to get an unused old quilt, and the other is going to get the red ink yellow paper."

"Okay, grandfather."

"Grandpa, I'm going right away."

Two young men about the same age as Chen Yun left in response.

The old grandmother, Huang Zhang and others didn't know what Chen Yun was going to do, so they just stood there and watched.

Don't say they don't know.

Even Zhang Qian was a little confused and looked at Chen Yun's face from time to time.

Chen Yun did not explain to everyone for the time being.

He was thinking about what the fierce ghost said about the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

He was a little curious, what kind of spiritual energy from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth could nourish a fierce ghost?
If analyzed in terms of efficacy, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth may be more abundant than the "spiritual energy" of the white jade beads.

Because of this, Chen Yun was eager to know what the spiritual root was.

Not long after, the third master's two grandsons came back with tattered quilts, brushes, ink and yellow paper.

Chen Yun asked Huang Dalang and Huang Erlang to cover the jar with a quilt and continue digging, while he drew the talisman there.

Draw a peace and disaster amulet.

He poured real energy into it again.

With this talisman, even if the evil ghost wants to plot against him, nothing will happen.

After a while, the entire jar was dug out.

Huang Dalang and Huang Erlang moved the big pottery jar to a cool place according to Chen Yun's instructions.

Then they continued digging.

About two or three meters were dug.

An iron gate appeared below.

"There is an iron gate."

"Is it the cellar?"

"I'll find an ax and break it open."

"Bring a lantern, maybe we'll go down."

Zhang Qian, Sanye, Huang Dalang and others were chatting away.

Huang Erlang found an ax and came over. With a few bangs, the rusty lock of the iron door was broken open.

Creaking, the rusty iron door was opened.

The next moment, the sun shines in.

Chen Yun could vaguely see inside through the gap.

Sure enough, there is a huge altar.

The altar is engraved with dense patterns of unknown spells.

Lines of white energy are gathering towards the middle along the talismans.

In the middle of the altar, a plant the size of a tomato tree was planted.

There are two fruits hanging on the plant.

One of them has long shriveled up and its shape cannot be clearly seen.

And the remaining fiery red fruit, which was about the size of a fist, was still glowing with light all around. One look at it showed that it was full of spiritual energy!

Seeing this scene, Chen Yun was shocked, "Zhu Guo!?"

He stared at Zhu Guo under the iron gate with some disbelief.

I really can't believe I'm seeing this here.

Why?

"Da Luo Ling Tang. Lian Jing Hua Qi Tang" records that the growth environment of Zhuguo is extremely harsh.

It must grow next to the extremely cold living water lake in the snow-capped mountains.

Generally, the temperature is tens of degrees below zero in the snow-capped mountains, and even the largest lakes are frozen. How can there be running water all year round?
This is one of them.

Secondly, the place where the red fruit grows must have sufficient spiritual energy.Because it is a spiritual fruit that is born by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. It takes 100 years of concentrated spiritual energy to take root, sprout and bloom. It absorbs another 100 years of spiritual energy to bear fruit, and finally absorbs 100 years of spiritual energy before the fruit can mature.

This is not the most difficult place to obtain Zhu Guo.

It takes 300 years to grow, but the fruit only lasts for three days.

Once this time is exceeded, the skin of the red fruit will burst and the spiritual juice inside will be lost.

So Chen Yun was very puzzled, why did red fruit grow here?

Is it because of that altar?
Chen Yun thinks this should be the case.

He estimated that this altar was a special formation specially used to cultivate red fruits.

As for why the fierce ghost can take shape, it is also easy to explain.

As expected, the spiritual energy condensed in the altar could not be completely absorbed by Zhu Guo, and a part of the spiritual energy leaked out and nurtured fierce ghosts.

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

Chen Yun was thinking at this moment, how could he get Zhu Guo?

At this moment, Huang Erlang's voice came to his ears, "There's nothing in it, just a fruit that looks a bit like a persimmon."

Zhang Qian didn't seem to know Zhu Guo, "This fruit grows under the jar containing corpses. Could it be a corpse fruit? It does look a bit like it. It is said that the corpse fruit is an evil thing formed by condensing corpse energy. If a person eats it, he will be poisoned to death in an instant."

Hearing this, the third master was so frightened that he trembled, "Oh, then this thing can't be left in the yard, Erlang, shovel it out quickly, shovel it out quickly."

"Okay, Daddy."

Huang Erlang said that he was about to enter the cellar.

"Wait!"

Chen Yun shouted.

Everyone looked towards him.

The third master asked in confusion: "Chen Xianchang, what's wrong?"

Chen Yun was a little confused in his heart. Zhu Guo was the main ingredient in the Refining Qi Transformation Decoction. If he used Zhang Qian's words to scare the Third Master and his family, he would probably be able to get Zhu Guo easily.

But his conscience did not allow him to do this.

Thinking about it, Chen Yun took a deep breath and said truthfully: "Third Master, this is not the Corpse Fruit, but the legendary Zhu Fruit."

"What?" Zhang Qian was shocked, "Zhu Guo?"

The third master was a little puzzled and asked: "What is Zhu Guo?"

Huang Dalang and Huang Erlang looked at Chen Yun and Zhang Qian.

Although Chen Yun wants Zhu Guo very much, a gentleman loves money in a wise way. Zhu Guo now grows up in the Huang family. According to the laws of this world, Zhu Guo belongs to the Huang family.

He introduced Zhu Guo carefully and said: "Zhu Guo is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, which contains huge spiritual energy. If a person takes it, his life will be extended by ten years. It can also detoxify hundreds of poisons and delay aging to a certain extent."

Zhang Qian nodded repeatedly, indicating that Chen Yun was right.

The third master's eyes suddenly opened wide.

Huang Dalang and Huang Erlang couldn't help but breathe.

Obviously, they didn't expect this red fruit to have such miraculous effects.

Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He took the initiative to explain the efficacy of Zhu Guo, which was considered as giving up on obtaining it.

Although Zhu Guo is particularly rare and can almost be said to be rare, Chen Yun has his own bottom line. Even if the most precious thing in the world does not belong to him, he will not take it without conscience.

Unexpectedly, Third Master suddenly asked: "What if cultivators take it?"

Chen Yundao said: "Cultivators who take it can save several years of hard work if they can take advantage of the medicine's power."

The Third Master laughed and said, "In that case, Chen Xianchang, you can take this Zhu Guo."

"what?"

"Uh……"

Huang Dalang and Huang Erlang looked at their father in confusion.

Zhang Qian also showed doubts.

They really couldn't understand why the third master gave Chen Yun a treasure that could extend his life.

To be honest, Chen Yun was not confused at all, "Third Master, what is this..."

"Haha." The third master said calmly: "Just now, Chen Xianchang said that Zhu Guo is the spiritual root of heaven and earth. If a person takes it, his life will be extended by ten years. If a cultivator takes it, it can save several years of hard work. Our Huang family is a home of ordinary people. If someone knew that he was carrying such a valuable treasure, would he be able to offend high-ranking officials or those powerful people?"

Huang Dalang and Huang Erlang suddenly woke up.

Zhang Qian also nodded in agreement.

Indeed, if this kind of spiritual root of heaven and earth were known to others, the Huang family would either hand it over honestly or the whole family would be wiped out.

As the saying goes, it is a sin to have a treasure in your possession. When you are unable to protect your treasure, owning it is the biggest sin!

The Third Master was still talking, "Let me be honest. The reason why I want to give this thing to Chen Xianchang is, firstly, to thank you for getting rid of ghosts in my house as a reward. Secondly, if I give this thing to you, what else can you do?" Admit it to me, if the Huang family encounters any big troubles in the future, you will definitely not stand by and watch. But if you keep it yourself, who knows what will happen? Unknown things are too scary. I don’t dare to take advantage of the family. You’re gambling with your life!”

Chen Yun didn't expect that Third Master lived so transparently.

And he also understood that if the third master knew other monks with extraordinary abilities, this red fruit might not be his turn.

It can only be said that time is fate.

Although taking Zhu Guo would be a favor, Chen Yun needed it urgently.

As soon as he heard that Third Master was willing to give Zhu Guo to him, Chen Yun looked over with a serious expression and said solemnly: "Since Third Master, you are willing to give Zhu Guo to me, then if the Huang family encounters big things in the future, I, Chen Yun, will also It will help!"

The third master laughed heartily and said: "Okay, okay, with Chen Xianchang's words, I can rest assured!"

The reason why he was happy was that he had a relationship with the "immortal".

Not only the third master was happy.

Chen Yun was equally excited.

Got!
I got Zhu Guo, the main medicine of Lianjing Huaqi Decoction!
