The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 234 What era is it now? Who still plays the classic Calabash Brothers? (Seeking monthly votes)
Lu Chen took out the magic leaf of the treasure gourd and said, "In this case, I am willing to return the jade to Zhao."

But at this time, the spiritual leaves of the treasure gourd were not shaking.

It is obvious that this treasure has always been controlled by the Hulu Mountain God.

Although the Hulu Mountain God tried his best to refute that he was not the Supreme, Lu Chen had no intention of confronting him.

If he says it’s not, then it’s not?

The voice of the mountain god sounded: "Master Yi, just take the spiritual leaf. Although I am a mountain god, I have no physical body. I still need your help on this trip... Pangolin!"

A small black creature rolled out from a crevice in the mountain. It opened its body and turned out to be a pangolin. The pangolin clasped its two small hands together and bowed to the mountain god: "Grandpa Mountain God, I know I was wrong. It was my fault for letting those two monsters go."

The mountain god said, "Since you sincerely want to repent, then send Yizhu forward to take out the gourd and plant it. Then you can subdue the monster and bring peace to the world."

"Yes Yes!"

Chuan Shanjian quickly bowed to Lu Chen and said, "Grandpa Yi, thank you for your help."

Lu Chen's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't want to take on this task, so he said, "Lord Mountain God, I came here just to observe the avenue of heaven and earth, and I don't want to get involved. After all, my strength is weak."

The mountain god said calmly: "This is simple. The gourd seeds are meant for you. Swallow the gourd seeds and you will be able to reach the realm of the gods."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, but suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He raised his head abruptly and looked at the Stone Wall Mountain God, wondering if he had heard it wrongly: "Lord Mountain God, what do you want me to do?"

"Swallow the gourd seed. The gourd seed is a treasure seed bred in a real treasure gourd. It belongs to the category of innate. After swallowing it, you can purify your primordial spirit and sort out the five qi. Although you are not as good as the ancient gods, you can also reach the top below the gods."

The mountain god's words were as peaceful as ever.

But when these words sounded in Lu Chen's ears, it was like the ringing of a huge bell, piercing his ears like thunder!
I swallowed the gourd seeds?

Isn’t it that the old man is asked to plant gourd seeds and grow gourd babies?
At this time, the mountain god continued: "If you collect the gourd seeds, the seven-colored lotus platform and the seven-colored lotus seeds, you can also refine the Seven Heart Pill, which can sort out the five qi and yin and yang, and turn it into an immortal pill, directly reaching the creation of the ancient gods, living as long as the heaven and earth, and shining as the sun and the moon!"

"However, it takes ninety-nine eighty-one days to refine the Seven Heart Pill, and the lotus platform and lotus seeds were originally placed in two different places by the Supreme, and are guarded by secret methods. You also need to obtain the formula of the Seven Heart Pill yourself. It is also in the hands of those two monsters, and you also need to get it."

"It's just that the appearance of the Seven Heart Pill is a replica of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill of the ancient gods. Although it can achieve the status of a god, it will drain your potential. You might as well try swallowing the gourd seeds directly, and then refine the lotus platform and lotus seeds into pills, absorb its medicinal effects, and transform its magical powers..."

"..."

Listening to the mountain god's 'earnest teachings', Lu Chen's expression could no longer be suppressed.

The eyes can be as weird as they can be.

This also teaches step by step how to refine the Seven Heart Pill?
Say!
Are you a monster in disguise?
Finally, Lu Chen couldn't help it and said, "Lord Mountain God, gourd seeds...are they seeds?"

The mountain god replied, "It is a seed, and it can also grow a gourd vine, which can turn into a gourd baby. However, if the gourd baby is born, it will definitely drain all the spiritual energy of this world. Although it can destroy demons, it will cut off the chance of stepping into the sky for all living beings in the world. It is better not to take it if you can."

Lu Chen suddenly realized and asked, "After the Calabash Brothers appear, can we still refine the Seven Heart Pills?"

"impossible."

The mountain god answered decisively: "The gourd baby was born with innate spiritual roots. If he is born, he will be an innate god. Innate gods can only be cultivated by gods in heaven. How many people in this world have this ability? Moreover, gods are born with the favor of heaven and earth. Who dares to do this in the face of the disapproval of heaven and earth? If you do it, you will be punished by heaven!"

Thinking of the fate of the Golden Snake and the Green Snake in the original novel, Lu Chen also had some understanding.

Both snakes are extremely intelligent monsters, and are good at using strategies to trick the Calabash Brothers into going around in circles, or using magic weapons to trap the Calabash Brothers.

But the final outcome was that danger arose after refining the Seven Heart Pill.

In the first part of Calabash Brothers, it was because of the seven-colored lotus platform that the Calabash Brothers, who were originally falling apart, were united and transformed into a colorful mountain to suppress the Golden Snake Lady and the Scorpion King again.

However, in the second part, the Green Snake King had planned everything, but he didn't expect that the Mountain God would let the White Crane give the seven-colored lotus seeds to the Calabash Brothers in advance. As a result, the seven brothers became one, and the Calabash Brothers were born!

The mountain god seemed to have determined that Lu Chen was the one who could exorcise demons and monsters, and was still instructing Lu Chen on how to swallow the gourd seeds.

"In fact, if you have enough time, or if you can find a great practitioner to help you get rid of the monster, that would be the best. In this way, you can concentrate on absorbing the gourd seeds. According to the method I told you, the seven-colored lotus platform and the seven-colored lotus seeds are only auxiliary, not the main ingredients. After a long time, the innate energy of the gourd seeds will be transferred to your body. The change of master must transform the acquired into the innate and walk the innate path. I see that there is innate energy in you. It seems that you have embarked on the path of transforming the acquired into the innate. After swallowing the gourd seeds, combined with the method of changing masters, you will achieve the innate body faster."

When Lu Chen heard this, his heart began to beat fast.

It would be a lie to say that you are not impressed!

But it is indeed difficult to get rid of the Golden Snake Queen and the Scorpion King.

He frowned and asked, "What realm are those two monsters in?"

Asking about the realm already means that he is moved.

There was no choice. Between the choice of fighting the seven gourd brothers and fighting a few monsters, Lu Chen chose to fight the monsters instead of the gourd brothers.

The mountain god said: "Immortals... well, people in this world call them ancient immortals, but they are all the same."

"The Fairyland..."

Lu Chen's heart sank.

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Lu Chen was helpless because it was really a fairyland.

He couldn't even handle one fairyland monster, let alone two.

The mountain god seemed to have noticed Lu Chen's hesitation and continued, "Their realm is the fairyland, because they were fairyland monsters in their heyday. But now they are not."

"Those two monsters have been suppressed for 9,999 years. Although they are not dead, their vitality has been seriously damaged. Their cultivation has fallen. Now they are only at the Earthly Immortal Realm, which is the realm of Immortal Dao Lord. If another seven days pass, their cultivation will return to the peak state due to the absorption of innate spiritual energy. At that time, they will be even more difficult to kill."

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Two immortal Taoists... Zhongli Quan can definitely handle one, as for himself...

Lu Chen thought that his own methods might be able to deal with one, as long as Zhongli Quan was strong enough and could get rid of the monster before he was killed.

But...it's still not safe enough.

The mountain god said at this time: "In addition, I have also prepared a helper for you... Crane! Crane! Come, come, come!"

"Wow!"

A chirping sound was heard in the distance, and then a white figure flew from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived above everyone's heads. It was a red-crowned crane that was about ten feet tall.

Lu Chen looked at the red-crowned crane, sensing the familiar aura from it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

The crane landed on the ground and transformed into a white old man.

Mr. Bai bowed to the stone wall and said, "Greetings to the mountain god."

Then he turned to look at Lu Chen and said with a smile: "Little friend Lu."

"Senior Bai!" Lu Chen was surprised.

Bai Weng is actually here! ?

"Since you know each other, that's great."

The mountain god's voice came: "There is no need for me to introduce you, change the master, are you sure about this?"

Lu Chen looked at Zhongli Quan who was at the peak of the realm of the Taoist Immortality, then looked at Bai Weng who was at the initial stage of the Taoist Immortality, and nodded.

If I am still not sure about this, I will fail to complete my mission.

"That's good."

The mountain god said with a smile: "Then go ahead! If you meet Cuan Su, tell him. After this, he can end his role as a guardian and regain his freedom. I will pray for you."

The mountain god's voice lengthened and gradually became weaker.

Bai Weng bowed again and sent the mountain god off respectfully. Then he explained to Lu Chen, "The mountain god is responsible for suppressing demons. The appearance of demons will cause great trauma to the mountain god. He cannot communicate with us for a long time and needs to sleep from time to time."

Lu Chen nodded, and then asked: "Senior, why are you here?"

Mr. Bai sighed, his expression calm: "It's a long story."

He briefly recounted what happened after Lu Chen left.

After Lu Chen left Taoyuan Secret Realm, strange changes occurred in Taoyuan Secret Realm. Lu Chen guessed that it was because the things happening in Xinglin Cave Heaven had affected Taoyuan Secret Realm.

Not long after that, Cheng Gongxing came to the Taoyuan Secret Realm because of something strange happening there.

Although Bai Weng tried his best to resist, his higher realm was there, and the result was obvious. Bai Weng was no match for Cheng Gongxing, and was finally captured alive by Cheng Gongxing.

"Originally, I was knocked unconscious by him, but I don't know why. After I regained consciousness, I appeared in Hulu Mountain and was rescued by the mountain god. I arrived less than half a day earlier than you."

One day in Hulu Mountain is equal to one year in the outside world.

The two seemed to have entered Hulu Mountain several months apart, but in reality they were only separated by a few hours.

For Bai Weng, the last time he parted with Lu Chen was just over ten days ago.

Lu Chen was in deep thought.

If that's the case, Mr. Bai should have been sent here by Cheng Gongxing.

In other words, Cheng Gongxing knew what role Bai Weng played in the Calabash Brothers incident.

Therefore, Cheng Gongxing would send Bai Weng to Hulu Mountain only on the premise that the person who experienced it must survive and exist.

Is this also the so-called 'rule'?

"Meet Senior Zhengyang."

Mr. Bai bowed to Zhongli Quan again.

He had met Zhongli Quan with Dong Feng.

Zhongli Quan asked, "Oh, are you the little crane under the seat of Xinglin Zhenjun?"

"It's Xiaohe." Bai Weng replied.

Zhongli Quan was also amazed and lamented the coincidences in the world.

Two hundred years ago, when the Three Kingdoms were separated, he had already become an immortal and practiced in seclusion with his master. However, Dong Feng, who had saved countless lives, was said to have been favored by the destiny of heaven and earth. He had already become the Immortal Taoist at that time. Later, he surpassed him and became his predecessor.

At that time, Bai Weng was just a little crane who had not yet become a Yuanshen Demon King, and served beside Dong Feng.

But looking at it now, he has become the Taoist Immortal, although he is still in the initial stage and the level is not high, and it is far from being comparable to his level of completely pure yang spirit, achieving a state of balance between essence, energy and spirit, and about to give birth to the three flowers, but he can also be regarded as a practitioner at the same level.

After meeting someone familiar, Zhongli Quan's nervous mood eased a little, and he even felt a little lost in his heart.

The mountain god had ignored him just now, but it would be good if he could take the initiative to say a few words to him.

Oh, what a pity, what a pity.

"Grandpa Yizhu, Grandpa Xianhe, Grandpa Zhengyang, when...when are we going to set off?"

Seeing the three people chatting and getting addicted, Pangolin finally couldn't help it and asked cautiously. He was just an ordinary little demon and didn't dare to speak loudly.

"Let's go now."

Lu Chen said to the pangolin: "How many years have you lived this year?"

"Replying to Master Yi, it has been twenty-one years."

Lu Chen nodded: "Then don't call me grandpa, just call me Taoist priest. You can call them grandpa."

Being called grandpa just like Bai Weng and Zhongli Quan, I always feel like I'm being called old.

"Okay, grandpa." The pangolin said dazedly.

Lu Chen: “…”

Looking at Lu Chen's expression, Pangolin thought he had upset him again, and asked carefully: "What's wrong, Grandpa?"

"Never mind, let's go."

Wasn’t this pangolin quite smart in the original book?

Seeing the pangolin's aggrieved and trembling look, Lu Chen did not try to correct it and let the pangolin lead the way.

After arriving at his post, Pangolin became motivated and quickly led the three people into Hulu Mountain.

Hulu Mountain is not solid but hollow, with winding passages. In addition, several people there are at the immortal level.

Logically speaking, there is no need for a guide to enter the mountain. After all, a thought can reach a distance of hundreds of miles. What's the big deal about a mountain that is only a few hundred feet high?
But after entering, the three people realized something was wrong.

Their spiritual thoughts could not penetrate any of the stone walls of Hulu Mountain, not even a small stone.

Many spells like walking through walls, flying, etc. seemed to have become ineffective.

"Forbidden Field."

The three of them looked at each other and immediately understood.

Zhongli Quan waved the Yin-Yang palm-leaf fan, and the Yin-Yang energies appeared, blowing the wind.

"Although the power of the magic weapon has weakened a lot, fortunately it can still be used." Zhongli Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

If he can't even use his magic weapon, then he can only fight the monster with his physical body.

His next step is to start the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head. If his physical body is damaged, it will definitely affect his practice.

Fortunately, the magic weapon can still be used.

"It's probably because this place is where monsters are suppressed."

Bai Weng said: "Although the demon has escaped and the forbidden spell has lost its effect, some of the remaining effects still exist. This may be the reason why the mountain god found a little demon to lead the way for us."

Everyone followed the pangolin and continued walking.

As we were walking, we suddenly heard the sound of fighting from the front.

Several people became alert and quickened their pace to the entrance of the passage.

There is a wide passage ahead.

The sound of fighting came from inside, where an old man with a white beard was fighting with a group of monsters.

Leading among them were two monsters at the level of Yuanshen Demon King, one was the centipede monster and the other was the toad monster.

The old man looked very old, with white hair and beard. Judging from his head, he was definitely in his eighties. Lian Po was very old.

But below the neck, it’s a completely different situation.

The old man's clothes were all torn apart, revealing his strong and robust physique. His muscles were bulging, and he didn't look old at all. Instead, he looked very toned, the kind that would make countless fujoshi drool.

He was holding a mountain-splitting axe in his hand and fighting with a group of monsters.

Sometimes he would use his physical body to block the swords, spears, and forks in the hands of monsters, and some twisted black runes would appear where he was attacked.

Even if it suffers some trauma, it will recover quickly without leaving any trace.

After seeing this scene, Bai Weng and Zhongli Quan were still speechless.

They all recognized that this was the inheritance of the ancient witchcraft, and there were also some witch texts in the current witchcraft and ghost doctrine.

And Lu Chen's expression was as weird as it could be.

By the way, is this the normal world of Calabash Brothers?
First, the mountain god instructed to eat the gourd seeds, and then the old man's clothes exploded to fight the monster.

No, you guys don’t play the classic Calabash Brothers anymore. Have you switched to the ghost animal version?
Another point is, is the purpose of the snake demon kidnapping the old man really just to lure the Calabash Brothers to come?
Lu Chen always felt that the color of the Scorpion King’s head was a little green.

"This is Grandpa! It's the Guardian Grandpa!"

The pangolin screamed excitedly.

"Stop shouting!" Zhongli Quan frowned and scolded in a low voice.

But this is a cave with a huge echo, and the pangolin's voice has attracted the attention of those monsters.

"Hey, there are more people coming? Guys! Catch them!"

A few people looked up and found that there was a group of bat spirits and wasp spirits on the passage.

Seeing this, the pangolin retracted its neck and hid behind.

Although Zhongli Quan was in a bad mood, it was more important to deal with the monster at this time.

The wasp spirit sprayed out its poisonous stingers, and Zhongli Quan used a cushion to fan them, rolling the stingers back. In an instant, the wasp spirits fell to the ground, and some bat spirits were also implicated. The remaining monsters were not in a much better situation. The wind blew back and forth, rolling the remaining monsters and hitting the stone wall. Soon, there was nothing in front of everyone.

Now that they had taken action, there was no need to hide anything. Several people attacked the other monsters directly.

When the leading centipede monster and toad monster saw that something was wrong, they ran away. The other little monsters also turned into their original forms and scattered.

"Who are you?" Cuan Su did not relax just because several people helped him. Instead, he looked at them vigilantly.

"Grandpa, they are here to help you under the orders of the mountain god."

The pangolin jumped out from somewhere again and said to Cuan Su.

After seeing the pangolin, Cuan Su's expression softened a lot, and he bowed to the pangolin and said, "Greetings, envoy."

Then he bowed to Lu Chen and the others and said, "Thank you all for your help."

Zhongli Quan shook his head and said, "It's okay. We are all human beings. If we meet someone like him, we can help him."

"Grandpa, now that a monster has appeared, the mountain god asked me to take a few grandpas... and the Taoist priest to find the gourd seeds..."

The pangolin told him the story of the Golden Snake and Scorpion King and also told him the words of the mountain god.

Cuan Su was shocked, his breathing became tense, and he nodded immediately: "In this case, I should help you."

It can be seen that freedom is very important to him.

"Are the caves of those two monsters in the west? Why are there monsters here?" Zhongli Quan frowned.

"Because they are not the subordinates of the Golden Snake Lady, but the subordinates of the Green Snake King."

Lu Chen walked over from the side.

Behind him, several monsters had been dealt with by him.

"The Green Snake King is not in the outside world, but has come in."

His expression was serious as he said, "Also, it seems that the Green Snake King also knows about the gourd seeds and is sending people to investigate."

"So the outside world can't find the Green Snake King because it has already come in early and is active in the outside world. But is it a trick to deceive the world?" Zhongli Quan suddenly realized.

"The Scorpion King, the Golden Snake Lady, the Green Snake King... these are already three beings who are at least immortal."

Lu Chen looked at Zhongli Quan: "Senior, can I ask if Master Shaoyang can come over?"

Zhongli Quan shook his head: "The Grandmaster can't come, but he contacted another person to come and help."

"Who?" Lu Chen asked.

"Of course it's me, the Taoist priest! Hahaha! Master Shaoyang is busy now and has no time to go out. I happen to be free, so I can go and help you."

A loud laugh came from Zhongli Quan.

Zhongli Quan reluctantly took out a crystal stone, and the voice came from it: "Hahaha! My surname is Yin, and my name is Changsheng. You can call me Yin Yang Taoist."

"Master Yin and Yang!?" Mr. Bai exclaimed.

Yin Changsheng's laughter was heard again: "Hahaha! You're welcome, you're welcome... I just left Shaoyang Cave Heaven. But don't worry, I'm very fast, don't be anxious, be cautious, I'll be here soon... Well, I've crossed the Yangtze River... Well, I've reached the outside world, huh! There are enough people here."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other.

Is it so fast?
"The speed of time flowing inside and outside is different. The reason why Lord Changsheng can communicate with us is because his thinking can keep up with us, but he himself may have spent a lot of time in the outside world." Zhongli Quan said.

"That's right. Otherwise, why do you think I'm so fast?"

A loud laugh was heard, and everyone vaguely heard it as if it came from the outside world.

"The Lord of Yin and Yang has come in?" Mr. Bai was overjoyed.

He believed in the character of Yin Yang Zhenjun. When Yin Yang Zhenjun accidentally obtained some inheritance from Dong Feng, he even went to return it specially.

At this moment, the voice of Yin Yang Zhenjun in the crystal suddenly shouted angrily: "Who sneak attacked me... Monster, you are courting death! Look at my Yin Yang Handprint! Ah! Snake monster! Don't run!"

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

As soon as I came in... I encountered a monster?

And he was even gaining the upper hand against the snake demon?

"Hahaha! Snake demon, I let you sneak attack me, let me see how I can... Hmm? What is this? Go away! Go away! Hahaha! How can a small magic weapon trap me?"

"Hehe... Monster, if I didn't have something important to do, I would have cut off your snake head today. I will fight you again after I'm done with my business! Are you still chasing me? Don't chase me! I told you not to chase me, stop... Ahem, everyone, go find something first, and I'll meet up with you after I've dealt with this snake monster."

Yin Yang Master finally discovered that the crystal was still "live broadcasting". After saying a few words in a hurry, he quickly cut off the connection.

The light on the crystal flickered twice and then quickly dimmed.
