Chapter 519 Brother, do you want some water?

He had not seen such a strange sight during the day, nor had he seen it before he closed the door to rest at night. Moreover, he had used his right eye to look at it repeatedly before, and had looked in that direction countless times. He was sure that this had never happened before.

It was only after the faint and strong fragrance appeared that he saw this happening, which means that this strange phenomenon is most likely the cause of the strong fragrance.

He didn't know whether this fragrance was related to the Soul-Returning Tree, but according to some legends, even if the Soul-Returning Tree had not been refined into a dead fragrance, the tree itself still had some fragrance.

It was because he smelled the faint fragrance coming from nowhere after going up the mountain and heard the related legends that made him sure that the Soul-Returning Tree should still exist, on the sacred mountain, but he just hadn't found it.

Wu Jinliang also watched from beside him for a while, but didn't notice anything. But he thought Chuntian's right eye had noticed something, so he tried to ask, "What's wrong?"

Shi Chun's eyes moved slightly, but he did not reply to him, because he saw someone in the dark pavilions staring at them, so he responded with a light hiss.

After a while, the man appeared and floated in front of the two of them. It was none other than Jiang Youer.

He asked in doubt: "What are you two looking at standing on the roof?"

Wu Jinliang is also an experienced person. No matter what kind of problem he faces, he can handle it easily. "Mr. Jiang, don't you smell it? Do you feel that the fragrance is stronger?"

So that's it. Jiang You'er smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. This is a common occurrence. Every night at midnight, the fragrance on the mountain becomes stronger and then slowly fades away. It is not only harmless to people, but also very beneficial. It can delay aging and is beneficial to spiritual practice. It is not an exaggeration to say that this sacred mountain is a blessed place."

Hearing this, Shi Chun couldn't help but ask, "Is it held every night at midnight?"

It was the first time that Jiang You'er saw the main person speak. He immediately stared at him. The situation was a bit sudden. He couldn't help but consider what tone to use to answer. Finally, he quickly considered two words, "That's right."

So Shi Chun looked at the main mountain peak with the highest terrain again. Could it be that the golden light appears at midnight every night?
If you want to verify it, you can only wait until tomorrow night.

Seeing that he was staring at the main peak again, Wu Jinliang felt more and more that he was looking forward to the main peak, so he asked: "Mr. Jiang, when is it convenient for us to go to the central area?"

Jiang Youer said, "I was just about to tell Brother Gao about this, but it's not possible for now. That place is not a place for outsiders to visit casually. If you really want to go, you have to wait and see. You have to find a suitable time and a suitable reason."

Wu Jinliang pretended to be indifferent and said, "Let's go around the districts and see what happens. If it works, then it's fine. If not, forget it."

Jiang You'er nodded and smiled, "I will try my best, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to report to Lou Xiu."

They were all just false courtesy, and the golden light in the distant sky did not last too long. It eventually swung away like a dragon and disappeared into the depths of the distant void.

After the guests and hosts finished chatting and went back to their own places, Wu Jinliang approached Shi Chun again and asked in a low voice, "What did you see?"

"A golden meteor shower..." Shi Chun roughly described the scene he saw.

Wu Jinliang came to the same conclusion after thinking about it. "It seems that the fragrance is related to this golden thing. It seems that we still need to find a way to get them to take us there."

Shi Chun: "First, let's verify whether Jin Zhan's relics are useful, and then decide whether to follow the rhythm of this demon. I have observed that this place is protected by a large formation and cannot be easily entered or exited, so the defense is not tight. As long as we can enter and exit, with my right eye's observation ability, this sacred mountain is full of loopholes for us to exploit, which is more convenient than acting under their noses."

Wu Jinliang raised his eyebrows, touched his chin and said, "Yes, where is the map? Take it out and have a look first."

So Shi Chun took out the map of the sacred mountain and discussed it with him.

Action speaks louder than words. The next day, after breakfast, Wu Jinliang couldn't wait to call Jiang Youer to go out for fun.

Not long after the group set out, outside the gate of Shenshan Mountain, Qiu Ben, the head of the Jihuo Sect's Martial Hall, arrived with nearly twenty people, but he did not bring all of them with him.

Hearing that the person brought a letter from the leader of the Jihuo Sect to the goddess, the gatekeeper dared not delay and quickly reported it.

Not long after, a figure flew in from outside the mountain gate. It was none other than Lord Po Yuan, who was also one of the mountain patrollers in the central area.

The mountain gate opened, and Po Yuan met Qiu Ben. After verifying their identities, he asked, "Do you need to bring so many people to deliver a letter?"

Qiu Ben said bluntly: "I tell you, you can't make the decision. After the goddess reads the letter, she will naturally know what's going on."

He is really qualified to ignore Po Yuan. Not to mention the difference in cultivation level, Jihuo Sect is one of the top sects in the demon world, and its sect master is on the same level as the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, and this place is just a branch of the Phoenix Clan. He is the master of the Jihuo Sect's Martial Hall, and he can remain neither humble nor arrogant even when standing in front of the Goddess of the Divine Mountain. Is a mere mountain patrol qualified to interrogate him?

Feeling a little insulted, Po Yuan's cheeks tensed up, but he didn't say anything else and extended his hand to invite the guest in.

After entering the mountain gate, the group flew directly to the main peak.

In a pavilion not far from the mountain gate, the North District Commander Huang Ye watched the entire process.

About an hour later, several people flew over from the main peak and landed in front of the mountain gate.

The leading burly man wore a phoenix-feather purple-gold crown, a golden chain mail armor, and golden boots. He had a cold face, an arrogant expression, and an extraordinary aura. He was none other than Feng Jue, the Lord of the Central District, and also the leader of the Five Lords of the Divine Mountain.

Seeing him show up, Huang Ye immediately dodged and landed directly beside Feng Jue, asking, "Is it early, Grandma Qi?"

Feng Jue said, "What if he arrives early? Wouldn't it be rude if he doesn't come to greet me?"

Huang Ye nodded, "That's true. By the way, I saw a group of people coming to the Shrine. Who are they?"

Feng Jue: "He is from the Jihuo Sect. He is almost unsuccessful in refining magic weapons. He needs to borrow the precious land of the sacred mountain to gather energy. He may run around in the mountains recently. When the time comes, he will inevitably have to deal with you."

Huang Ye: "Running around? Did the goddess agree?" Feng Jue: "After all, you are the number one weapon refining sect in the demon world. The Phoenix Clan occasionally asks for help from you. Even my 'God-Slaying Spear' was made by you. Now you are looking for a small favor from us, how can we not help? In addition, you brought a letter written by Su Qiao, the leader of the Jihuo Sect, so it is difficult for the goddess to refuse. It is nothing to cooperate with you on this matter."

Huang Ye hummed and said, "That's true."

After half an hour, when everyone was getting bored waiting, Feng Jue, who was looking into the distance, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes and shouted loudly: "The guests are coming, open the middle door!"

The soldier guarding the gong immediately swung the hammer and struck out a series of virtual waves. After three consecutive strikes, a large area of ​​virtual waves appeared on the middle door of the archway.

Feng Jue led a group of people out of the mountain gate to wait.

The stream of light that came from afar disappeared in mid-air, and more than a dozen men and women landed in front of the mountain gate. Leading the group was a silver-haired old woman dressed in white. She had a kind and gentle face and looked noble, but her clothes were extremely simple. She held a cane in her hand, and her back was a little hunched, which showed that she was quite old.

The old woman was none other than Grandma Qi, who was very famous among the Phoenix Clan.

"Oh, how dare I trouble the young master to come and greet you in person." Grandma Qi suddenly looked flattered.

Feng Jue stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Grandma. I am sorry for what you said. Grandma, this is not the place to talk. Auntie is waiting for you in the shrine. Please come in!"

"Yes, yes, yes. I don't dare to trouble the goddess to wait for so long. Please, please, please." The humble Grandma Qi walked in with an attitude of inviting others to come.

The group entered the mountain gate and flew directly to the highest peak in the distance.

Huang Ye, who had appeared to greet the guests, bowed and watched them leave, but did not follow them to the shrine. After the guests left, he looked around and left too.

On the top of the sacred mountain, there is a palace complex with green jade as the main body. In the sunlight, it is not dim, simple and majestic, and blends with the scenery between heaven and earth to create a unique style.

At the bottom of the steps outside the palace stood a woman in green with fluttering sleeves. She had picturesque features and looked slightly plump. Her hair fluttered in the wind, yet she maintained a sense of noble charm. There was a sense of naturalness and clarity in her every move.

It was the so-called goddess guarding the sacred mountain, named Feng Qingping.

After Feng Jue led a group of people to fly down, Feng Qingping took the initiative to walk towards Grandma Qi who wanted to pay her respects, held her arms, and said with a smile: "Grandma, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Grandma Qi, who failed to perform the ceremony, also said with deep emotion: "Greetings to the Goddess. I haven't seen the Goddess for a long time, and I miss you very much."

Feng Qingping took her arm and personally helped her up the stairs, chatting with her as if they were daily family.

The palace is simple and elegant. There are no tables or chairs, only felt mats. It is obviously a place where people are used to sitting on the floor.

Feng Qingping did not compete with Grandma Qi. Seeing that Grandma Qi refused to sit with her, she sat with her on the felt mat below. A servant brought a low table with tea and snacks and placed them in front of the two of them.

Feng Jue sat cross-legged on the side, watching and listening. There was no arrogance on his face at this moment. He was just a young man who grinned from time to time.

After a while of small talk, Feng Qingping's eyes flashed with a different meaning, and he tried to say: "I have something to tell you, grandma. Xiaoru's husband was involved in some things and was taken back to the sacred mountain. Do you want to call him over to see?"

It was indeed a test. Grandma Qi suddenly went up the mountain at this time. She was a little suspicious whether she came for the golden-haired rat.

Who would have thought that when Grandma Qi heard this, her expression changed. "Goddess, that girl wants to piss me off to death, but do you want to piss me off too? I won't see you unless I'm dead!"

Seeing that she was suddenly very emotional, Feng Qingping realized that he might have misunderstood. He quickly leaned over to grab her hand and patted her to comfort her, "Okay, okay, we won't see each other anymore. Don't get excited, grandma."

Grandma Qi also clapped her hands and said, "Goddess, please forgive me for being disrespectful and calling you 'Xiao Ping'. Xiao Ping, grandma is really old and may not live long. Recently, people and things from the past keep popping up in my mind. The day before yesterday, I dreamed of your childhood. Grandma really misses you, so I want to come to Shenshan to live for a while and see you more often. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you in the future..."

"Nonsense, may grandma live forever."

"There are not many people in this world who can live forever. If you become an immortal, you will be disliked by others. It's time to die when you're done living..."

At this time, Dongshan District intentionally guided Jiang Youer to the edge of the sacred mountain, where Wu Jinliang stopped and looked at the seemingly endless green grassland.

Looking at the protruding part of the mountain, Shi Chun knew that he had arrived at another location on the map that was second only to the mountain gate and closest to the protective formation.

He looked around with his right eye, but didn't see anyone. He suddenly said, "Brother, would you like some water? I saw a spring on the hillside over there that looks pretty good. Do you want me to get some for you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Youer immediately became alert. The real boss was suddenly so proactive in serving his younger brother, there must be something fishy going on. He wanted to get out of his sight by hiding behind the mountain.

Wu Jinliang knew it was time to act when he heard this, and he said, "I'm thirsty after walking around, let's get some more, and Mr. Jiang as well."

"Okay." Shi Chun agreed and left.

Jiang You'er's mouth tightened, and he put away his folding fan and said, "Brother Gao, since you are thirsty, I know where there are some good fruits. I will pick some for you to taste."

Wu Jinliang said, "Okay, let's try it."

Jiang You'er immediately dodged to the other side, seemingly not going towards Shi Chun, but actually wanted to go around and take a look.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Jinliang looked around, immediately ducked down the hillside, and disappeared using the Earth Escape Technique.
