Chapter 518 Feihong
Chapter 518 Feihong
The scenery of Mount Shenshan is indeed beautiful, and it is indeed a rare place for spiritual practice. But for outsiders, it is only a temporary novelty, and it is actually boring after visiting it for a long time.
You can only look at it, but you can't own it. What's the point of just looking at it?
Ran Shichun and his companion were obviously different from other tourists. They seemed to have never seen mountains and rivers before. They never got tired of it and seemed to have endless interest in everything.
Jiang You'er was somewhat confused, but he also came with a purpose to observe the two of them, so he did not lose his hospitality. As long as the guests were interested, he would be happy to accompany them. He would try his best to accompany them wherever they wanted to see, and he would also take the initiative to introduce them to the beautiful sights.
The area around the entrance to Mount Kinabalu belongs to the North Mountain Area, so the group had no problems moving around here.
There is no problem if you want to go to the east, south and west districts. Jiang Youer also has this face. With him personally accompanying you and saying hello, it is not a problem to just walk around and have a look.
But under Shi Chun's suggestion, Wu Jinliang insisted on going to the central area.
There was no way. Shi Chun used his right eye to scan the northern area, but he didn't see any trace of the so-called "Soul-Returning Tree".
According to Huang Yingying, the 'anti-soul tree' is still a soul when it is a minor tree and cannot be seen by the naked eye. It will only appear when it reaches adulthood, and when it reaches adulthood it will be cut down by people. In other words, only the minor tree can be found.
The problem now is that after wandering around the North District, his right eye's special ability didn't even allow him to see the shadow of an immature tree. Of course, he didn't know what an immature Soul-Returning Tree looked like, but he believed that such a special thing could be recognized as long as he saw it.
It has not been seen since then, and he doesn't know whether his right eye's special ability makes it impossible to see the immature Soul-Returning Tree.
This is possible. In fact, there are some things that the right eye cannot see, such as this large formation barrier.
He couldn't see the North District, and he no longer had any priority interest in the similar East, South, and West Districts. He subconsciously set his sights on the area with higher mountains, which was the main peak in the Central District.
When the group reached the valley where the North District and the Central District meet, Jiang You'er stopped and said to the two, "This is the only way we can go. Going forward is the Central District, where the goddess lives. Guests are generally not allowed to trespass there. It's very troublesome to communicate. At least I'm not qualified to bring outsiders into the Central District, and guests without a certain status and position are basically not allowed to enter."
What to do? Wu Jinliang glanced at Shi Chun.
Shi Chun pondered.
After observing for a while, Jiang You'er tentatively said, "If you two are really interested in the scenery over there, I can also think of a way."
Normally, it wouldn't be so troublesome to see the scenery. If they had to be persistent, the destination of their trip could be narrowed down.
Shi Chun glanced at him. Would he be polite to him? No.
He was unfamiliar with the place and had no idea how to solve the problem if he tried to find a solution himself. It would be better to avoid trouble if he could just do it conveniently. He just winked at Wu Jinliang.
Wu Jinliang understood and said with a chuckle, "Of course I'm interested. After all, it's a rare opportunity to come here. If it's not troublesome, no one wants to have any regrets, right?"
Jiang You'er's eyes flashed with a deep feeling, and he opened his folding fan, "Then I'll think of a way, but it may not work." He looked at the sky. Although they were just strolling around the North District, the area they walked around was not small. It was already mid-afternoon, so he told the two, "It will definitely not work today. As for whether it can work, I can't guarantee it. I can only say that I will give it a try."
Wu Jinliang nodded repeatedly, "That's natural. If it can be accomplished, it will be accomplished. If it can't be accomplished, it can't be forced."
As soon as these words fell, a shadow suddenly jumped out from the thorns in the valley and rushed towards them.
Shi Chun and the others initially thought it was a half-grown wild boar or something, but when the thing rushed to them and stopped, they found out it was a giant rat with dry and yellow fur, a long tail, and a black metal ring with full stripes on its pierced nose.
As soon as they saw the shape, the two brothers immediately matched it with a certain reference object. Isn't this exactly the corpse of Jin Zhan in the Moon Sea Secret Realm?
They could understand why Jin Zhan's corpse was thin, but why was this living creature also so skinny?
The two looked at each other and knew that Huang Yingying's fellow tribesmen had arrived.
As for whether it was Huang Yingying herself, they couldn't recognize it. If you put a few big rats like this in front of them, they basically couldn't tell any difference in appearance.
When the big rat came up to the three people, he looked them over with his eyes wide open, then immediately squatted and bowed, speaking in a shrill man's voice, "It turns out to be Jiang Xunshan. Do you have any instructions for me to do?"
Jiang You'er fanned himself and lowered his eyes, saying, "It's alright, just walk around here, I won't go over there."
"Okay, let me know if you need me. I'll be taking my leave now." The big rat bowed politely again before turning around and running back.
After watching it go, Wu Jinliang pretended not to know: "What is this thing? Is it a rat?"
What this means is that this head is really not small.
Jiang Youer smiled and said, "The golden-haired rat that guards the mountain at the foot of the central area has a slightly worse fur color now. When its fur color was good, it was golden and shiny. It was also a prehistoric species and was once a royal family among rats. But now it has been locked up with a demon bone and is a slave in the sacred mountain, so its fur color is a little worse and it is not worth seeing."
In this regard, the two brothers also saw in the picture album given by Bai Qiru, which said that Huang Yingying's clan had their demon bones locked and could not transform into human form.
The so-called locking monster bone means locking the bone at the beginning of the transformation, locking the source of the physical body's transformation, and then it can no longer transform. The monster bones of each monster are different. The most fatal thing is that after the monster bone is locked, it means that it has been destroyed, and the root bones of cultivation have also been damaged.
After the two of them looked at the picture album, they roughly understood why Huang Yingying's aptitude for cultivation was so poor, and she couldn't even reach a high level of martial arts at her age.
In fact, the two of them were a little skeptical whether Huang Yingying’s current qualifications were still sufficient to inherit the demon book.
However, it seems that all of Huang Yingying's fellow tribesmen have had their demon bones locked up. If she really wants to fulfill Jin Zhan's last wish, it seems that none of them would be suitable.
And these are no longer their priority. They have to put their own goals first, and they will see what the situation is as Jin Zhan's will.
Since you can't move forward, change direction.
After strolling around until the evening, Jiang Youer arranged accommodation for the two guests in his own territory in the North District, and naturally treated them to fine wine and delicious food.
After settling the guests, Jiang Youer flew directly to the main peak of the northern district.
After landing on the top of the mountain, he entered a hall unimpeded. On the plaque above the door lintel were the majestic words "Beishan".
On the second floor, on a low couch, an old man with a beard and a face like an owl was sitting cross-legged in meditation. His nose was also like an eagle's hook. This man was the Lord of Beishan District, one of the five Lords of Shenshan, named Huang Ye.
Jiang You'er, who came upstairs, looked respectful. He walked to the low couch, knelt down, bowed, and said, "Master."
Then he recounted the entire experience of entertaining the guests today.
After listening to the story, Huang Ye slowly opened his eyes, with doubt in his eyes, "They want to go to the Central District. Is the Central District their destination?"
Jiang You'er: "It looks like it, otherwise he wouldn't be so ignorant as to cause trouble for us."
Huang Ye: "Without any reasonable request, who dares to ask for two inexplicable people to go to the central area? If the news gets to the goddess, I won't be able to explain it."
Jiang Youer: "Then... reject them?"
Huang Ye got up from the bed, paced back and forth for a while, and said, "Don't worry. If they really come to the Central District, they won't run away. Keeping them for a while will make their intentions clearer. In addition, there will be more visitors tomorrow. The Goddess has sent a message saying that Grandma Tianqi will come, so we should be ready to welcome her and not neglect her. In addition, the letter from the leader of the Jihuo Sect to the Goddess will be delivered tomorrow. Their Martial Hall Master Qiu Ben will take the opportunity to bring people in to attack Shichun and others. You should be careful tomorrow."
"Yes." Jiang Youer agreed.
The sky is full of stars and the chirping of insects can be heard in the small building.
At midnight, Wu Jinliang, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly felt his nostrils twitch, and the faint fragrance seemed to become a little stronger.
After sniffing repeatedly, he felt that it should be correct. He slowly opened his eyes and was about to ask Shi Chun if he smelled it, but he saw that Shi Chun had stood up in the dim light and walked to the window and opened it.
Wu Jinliang stood up and walked over, asking in a low voice, "Did you smell it too?"
Shi Chun nodded slightly, looked around, and saw nothing. When he was about to close the window, he suddenly thought about it again, and immediately activated the ability of his right eye to check again, regardless of the cost of his blood and energy.
To be honest, I have been using the power of my right eye too frequently recently, especially today when I was walking around all day, I was using it almost continuously, and it has been depleted to a certain extent.
The recovery was so slow that he wanted to pull out the Blood Soul Sword and stab a few monsters to repair his condition.
However, as long as your eyes are clear and the mountains and seas are as bright as lanterns, you will always make discoveries.
At this moment, he suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes widened in an instant, just because he saw a scene that shocked him.
The eaves half blocked the view, so he couldn't see the whole picture. He immediately jumped out of the window, flipped over to the roof, stood on the roof and looked up.
The vision of the right eye is different from normal vision, so it is usually not clear at a far distance. But this time it seemed as if something magical had dispelled the haziness, like light illuminating darkness.
The supernatural vision of my right eye has never been so clear and far-reaching.
There was a golden mist flying from the distant sky, like a cluster of countless fireflies. Every point of light seemed to carry a trace of dancing life, radiating a shocking brilliance, and flying to another sky with an ethereal posture, like a rainbow or a rosy cloud.
But there were some bumps along the way, and they bumped into something invisible, creating an arc-shaped outline and emitting a chaotic light. Shi Chun recognized what it was at a glance; it should be the protective shield of the ancient formation.
After being hit, most of the streams of light were just stirred up and circled, continuing to move away, but a very small number of golden streams of light actually passed through the invisible arc cover and impacted a mountain, the highest mountain of the sacred mountain.
