Soon, Xiaobai cut a plate of fruit platter and brought it up.
Several kinds of fruits were arranged in an orderly manner, with even colors and a very good appearance.
Gu Changqing and the other two took a slice of orange from the fruit plate and put it in their mouths. Their mouths were immediately filled with fragrance. The abundant moisture and the sweetness of the fruit teased the taste buds to the extreme, especially the orange had a sour taste. Chewing it in the mouth was really a kind of enjoyment.
They closed their eyes at the same time, feeling the power of the law emanating from the orange, and were even more shocked.
A piece of fruit actually contained fragments of the law. I'm afraid no one would believe it if they told others.
It's incredible and unbelievable!
You know, even in the current fairyland, unless you want to comprehend and find the fragments of the law yourself, you have to risk your life and go to the ancient ruins to get it.
While they were shocked, they were also full of bitterness.
Why is the fruit cut? It would be better if it was a whole one so that we can pack it up.
We are really full of tea and fruit.
It is rare to encounter such an extremely luxurious meal, but I can't eat it because I am full. This feeling is simply crazy.
But my stomach is angry!
Feeling that the distance was getting closer, Li Nianfan asked curiously, "Mr. Pei, I don't know what the fairyland is like. Is there a heavenly palace?"
Pei An smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No."
Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, "Then who is the leader of the fairyland?"
Pei An explained, "Mr. Li, in fact, the fairyland is not much different from the world of cultivating immortals. There are many sects, and the strongest are the five holy places. There is no such thing as a leader."
Li Nianfan couldn't help shaking his head, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Pei. I have said that "Journey to the West" is fictional, but you can't help but judge it according to its content. It's really wrong."
"Actually, the Heavenly Palace does exist." At this moment, the Fire Phoenix flashed and sat over. She picked up a fruit from the fruit plate and put it into her mouth, frowning and saying, "I have a part of my memory. It seems that in the ancient fairyland, the Heavenly Palace existed."
Pei An and the other two looked at each other and suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.
Sure enough, the Heavenly Palace does exist. Only a fool would believe that the masters keep saying it is fictional, right?
Is he... missing the Heavenly Palace in ancient times?
"The ancient fairyland?" Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows slightly. It turns out that the fairyland is also doing archaeology.
He licked his lips and said with a little expectation: "Do you know if there is a spiritual fruit that can make mortals become immortals directly?"
A mortal who does not want to become an immortal is not a good mortal. Although even if there is such a spiritual fruit, it is definitely not his fate, but Li Nianfan is still curious and wants to know, pure curiosity.
Pei An and the other two looked at each other.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yuan said: "Mr. Li, are you talking about the peaches in "Journey to the West"? I have never heard of such spiritual objects in the fairy world."
Huo Feng said again: "In the ancient fairy world, it was indeed possible to make mortals become immortals directly, but it is obviously impossible now."
To have this effect, you must have an innate spiritual root. This is a spiritual root that accompanies the heaven and earth. It is extremely precious. Now, it has long been completely extinct.
She glanced at the backyard without leaving any trace. The master's backyard was full of spiritual roots, but they could only be considered acquired spiritual roots. However, under the cultivation of the master, they seemed to be changing little by little.
If Huo Feng hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that the spiritual roots could actually evolve.
This master seemed to have the ability to transcend the way of heaven.
"Ancient times again?" Li Nianfan was a little disappointed, "Is the fairy world in decline?"
Pei An shook his head with a wry smile, "Mr. Li, compared to ancient times, the fairy world has declined too much. I'm afraid it's impossible to reproduce the glory of ancient times."
"The sun moves when it is at its zenith, and the moon wanes when it waxes; things turn to the opposite extreme, and things decline when they are at their peak."
Li Nianfan sighed, "This is applicable everywhere, it's really a theorem."
It seems that my dream of becoming an immortal should be over, alas.
Everyone's head buzzed, and they felt a layer of goose bumps all over their body, as if they had been enlightened, and the morning bell sounded.
Pei An said sincerely: "Sixteen short words can summarize the laws of the operation of heaven and earth. Mr. Li's talent is really admirable." It is true
that people with knowledge will not suffer losses wherever they go.
"You are too flattering. What I have done is nothing. You seal the monsters and benefit the people. That is what people really admire." Li Nianfan smiled slightly, and then said: "Prosperity will decline, and decline will also prosper. I believe that as long as we work hard, we will be able to regain our glory one day."
Pei An nodded, "I hope so."
At this time, he glanced at the corner of his eyes, but was stunned.
He saw that Xiaobai was holding a broom and cleaning up the wood chips that Li Nianfan had carved on the ground.
Because Li Nianfan was a great carver, the debris on the ground was actually quite complete, all long strips, and looked relatively regular.
Of course, this is nothing. The most important thing is... these are spiritual roots!
Pei An watched all this with his eyes wide open, his heart trembling, wishing he could pop his eyes out.
Although they are just fragments, they are also spiritual root fragments. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most precious materials in the world, and they are not much inferior to immortal artifacts!
Now they are being swept away like garbage.
He couldn't help but say, "That... Mr. Li, what are you going to do with those wood scraps?"
Li Nianfan said casually, "They are just some garbage, so of course they will be thrown away."
Pei An took a deep breath, feeling like his heart was about to jump out, and trembling, he said, "Mr. Li, we are about to leave, why don't we help you take them out."
After speaking, he seemed to have used up all his strength, and his limbs were a little weak.
"This..." Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, "Will it be too much trouble for you?"
Pei An waved his hands repeatedly, "No trouble, no trouble, it's just a piece of cake."
"Okay, thank you." Li Nianfan nodded.
Pei An almost cried out in excitement, holding the sawdust, his hands were shaking, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry to bother you today, I'll take my leave now."
"Well, have a nice trip."
...
Walking out of the gate of the courtyard, Pei An looked at the sawdust in his hand, still a little dreamy.
He confirmed again and again that this was definitely a spiritual root! It
is an extinct existence in the fairy world!
According to legend, any spiritual root will contain laws, and thus have abilities that ordinary magic weapons do not have. It is unknown what abilities this spiritual root has.
Pei An sighed and said in awe: "What kind of existence is this? Even spiritual roots are just garbage in its eyes. I have lived for 26,000 years and have never dared to be so exaggerated even in my big dreams."
Gu Yuan suddenly said: "Grandmaster, I am not trying to hit you. I think these spiritual roots are not so easy to get."
Pei An was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "How could I not know this? Every word of the master is full of hints. If I can't hear this, wouldn't I have lived in vain for so many years?"
Gu Yuan swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "Grandmaster, the words of the master are all full of nostalgia for ancient times. Does he want to... let the fairyland return to ancient times?"
"Eighty percent of it is. He asked about the current situation in the fairy world, and was obviously disappointed when he learned that there was no heavenly palace in the fairy world." Pei An nodded and continued, "The reconnection of the immortal and mortal paths shows that the master's layout has already begun. In fact, you haven't looked far enough. The pressure I'm under is much greater than you think."
Gu Yuan and Gu Changqing were stunned, "What is Master referring to?"
"A spiritual object that can make mortals become immortals directly!" Pei An sighed, "Since the master mentioned it, it means he wants it! The things that the masters want are never stated explicitly, and they usually hint at them. He seems to be asking about the situation in the fairy world, but he actually means something else. If you don't have this kind of understanding on the path to immortality, what's the point of cultivating immortality?"
The higher the status of a person, the more he likes to play riddles.
For example, when an emperor in ancient times was on tour, if he liked a woman, he would just say, "Hey, that girl is pretty good, take her back to me." That's so low, like a gangster. They
often ask about the local customs, living habits, etc. If you can't understand the true meaning of it, then you're basically waiting for the cold.
The ability requirement for clinging to someone is secondary, and the ability to understand the person's mind is the key.
Gu Changqing suddenly said: "Now that you mentioned it, the master seemed to have mentioned the demon sealing. Was he referring to the demon clan?"
"That's for sure. The demon clan is the biggest obstacle to returning to ancient times." Pei An nodded, "But the master said this on purpose. Maybe something has happened. I'll go back and find out later."
Gu Yuan looked solemn and said sincerely: "The demon clan has been rampant recently. The master likes to be a mortal and is unwilling to do it himself. Then we are the best chess pieces in his hands!"
The southern barbarian land.
This place was originally desolate, with few cities and sects, and they were all relatively scattered.
Now, it has become an empty city, and those who can run have already run away.
Ninety percent of the mortal cities have fallen, and even the surrounding sects have been slaughtered by the sudden increase in demons.
On a high mountain, the leading general held a huge axe and walked forward slowly. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, domineering and majestic.
Not far ahead, stood eight demons in black robes.
The eight surrounded a huge statue in the middle. There were strange array symbols painted on the ground, and blood was flowing in them.
This mountain originally belonged to a sect, but now, all the members were slaughtered.
A man in black robes spoke hoarsely, "Okay, start summoning the Demon Envoy!"
The leading general slowly stepped forward, placed the axe in front of the statue, and then knelt on one knee, "Killing one person is a sin, killing ten thousand people is a hero! This axe is stained with the blood of ten thousand people. I, Tu Jiu, am willing to be a minister of the Demon God and respectfully welcome the Demon Envoy!"
"Bang!"
Behind him, countless soldiers also knelt at the same time, "Ministers of the Demon God, respectfully welcome the Demon Envoy!"
The eight black-robed men, with the spells in their hands, raised their hands, and endless black air surged out of their bodies, rushing towards the statue crazily.
The black air rolled and surrounded the statue, sometimes shrinking and sometimes expanding.
It was as if the statue was breathing, extremely weird.
Soon, the statue, which was originally carved out of stone, turned black at the same time, and finally became as black as ink, which made people shudder at the sight of it.
The black air began to boil, and finally formed a tornado vortex, which changed the color of the sky and the earth.
"Crack!"
At a certain moment, the statue suddenly cracked a crack, and the black air poured in madly!
"Crack, crack, crack!"
The crack expanded rapidly, and finally spread to the entire statue. At the last moment, accompanied by a "boom", the statue turned directly into powder.
However, the black air did not dissipate, but gathered madly on the spot, and finally condensed into a human figure!
This man was a burly man, wearing a black armor with barbs on it. The armor would make a "ding ding" sound when he moved. He was very imposing and full of hostility.
He laughed wildly, his eyes filled with excitement, "Hahaha, not bad, the first one to descend to the mortal world is me, Amon! Who can stop me in the mortal world now?" He
took a deep breath of the mortal air, revealing an intoxicated look.
Then, he glanced at everyone, raised his hand, and the axe on the ground was held in his hand through the air, and the black air in the air poured towards the axe.
"Your name is Tu Jiu, right? As long as you can unify the mortal world for Lord Demon, you will be the emperor of the world in the future. You will achieve great achievements in the future and will also be immortal!" Amon handed over the axe, "We can't be too involved in the karma of mortals, and we can't be too direct. This axe will absorb the energy of the people you kill, so that you will never get tired on the battlefield!"
Tu Jiu was overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you for the gift, Lord Demon! With this axe, I will be invincible in the mortal world!"
"Very good!" A ray of red light flashed in Amon's eyes, "As for the immortal cultivators in the mortal world, leave it to us! By the way, there are Yue Tu, Gu Xin, Hou Mo and others. Follow me to find their sealing place and release them together! From now on, the demons have the final say in this world. Those who obey me will prosper and those who disobey me will perish!"
