Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 534 Sumeru Epiphyllum
Qishui River.

Fang Dushu rode the magic chariot across the river, heading towards the Kunyun Divine Forbidden City in the far west.

Master Chu and Master Shi Geng, who were stationed at Shenjin Tianjue Mountain, learned that Fang Dushu had returned to Hexi, so they sent a message to Dabancheng, asking Fang Dushu to go to Tianjue Mountain to help deal with the return of the monks from the Wolf Poison Department. .

After receiving the order, Fang Dushu did not delay, and immediately followed the messengers from Master Chu and Master Shi Geng to Tianjue Mountain. He only had to sail to the end of Qishui River to see the top of Tianjue Mountain in the distance.

The messenger rides on a flying boat and leads the way.

Fang Dushu sat alone in the magic chariot and followed behind. As he hurried on, he clutched a dark green jade pendant, and his mind couldn't help but return to the scene of his private meeting with Patriarch Senchen in Fengming Mansion a few days ago.

The jade pendant in his hand was given by Patriarch Sen Chen.

The information revealed by Patriarch Senchen was still fresh in his memory.

"This is the Xumi Pei, which can open space cracks near the six-pointed tree! Those Wolfsbane monks also treasured a piece. After fellow Taoists rushed to meet them and healed their sword wounds, they would immediately activate the Xumi Pei. Mi Pei, borrow the power of Xumi from this pendant to escape from Tianjue Mountain!"

Patriarch Senchen added: "If your palace brings the green spirit girl to the six-pointed tree, then the green spirit girl will definitely be taken away by the power of Sumeru. Then the monks of the Wolf Venom Department may come from the six-pointed tree." Find Kunlin in the tree, escape directly from Tianjue Mountain into the Kunyun Divine Forbidden City, and occupy the cave forever!"

This inference sounds extremely bizarre, but it is also full of warning.

At first, Fang Dushu didn't believe it. He questioned: "Now the Six-pointed Tree has been fixed in Tianjue Mountain. The Wuyue Palace has sent several masters in the transformation stage to block it. Not even a fly can fly away. This jade pendant has What kind of ability can you take the treasure and run away under the eyes of the guru?"

Patriarch Senchen said: "This jade pendant is made from the rhizome of the Sumeru Epiphyllum, the spiritual root of heaven and earth. Legend has it that the Sumeru flower grows around the six-pointed tree. Because the six-pointed tree greedily eats the spiritual energy of vegetation, no matter where it is rooted, It will cause no vegetation to grow for thousands of miles around, except the Sumeru flower!"

Fang Dushu has known for a long time that there is a spiritual root of heaven and earth near every innate path.

A jade rubber tree grew near his Kaiyuan vase, and a Manju chrysanthemum grew next to the Pudu ferry in Nantian Buddhist Kingdom.

The human-faced lotus pod at the bottom of Xiankun Pond must have the same level of heaven and earth spiritual roots as the rubber tree and manju flower, but Fang Dushu has not yet found out which innate path the human-faced lotus pod was born from.

It might have been born around the Evergreen Lotus, or around the Fuyao Wings, or of course around the Pagoda Bell. After all, the Human Face Lotus was transplanted by Peng Xiu, who in the past was in charge of most of the innate wisdom in Qinghe.

Moreover, Fang Dushu had also heard of Sumeru Flower. Before he formed the elixir, he once explored the ruins of the imperial palace of the Tongtian Demon Kingdom in the Tongyou River.

He met Sen Lin, a disciple of the Qingye Sect on Prince Chonglong Peak. This person had used the magical power of Sumeru Flower to create a small-scale space crack. The power of the flower was extremely mysterious.

However, the Sumeru flower used by Sen Lin was not a real flower, but just a spell that manifested the shadow of the flower.

Fang Dushu didn't know the details of Sumeru Flower, so he asked: "Sumipei is made from the rhizome of Sumeru Epiphyllum. Once the rhizome is refined, can it still survive?"

"Definitely not! A long time ago, Sumeru Epiphyllum died!" Patriarch Senchen began to tell the past events:
"It is said that every time the Sumeru Epiphyllum blooms, it will open a space crack around the six-pointed tree, helping the six-pointed tree to extend its branches to areas with lush vegetation. When the six-pointed tree swallows up the aura of these areas, the Sumeru Epiphyllum will Open it again and release new cracks again!”

The so-called flash in the pan refers to the momentary tearing of space.

Sumeru Epiphyllum is the spiritual root of heaven and earth. Its medicinal effect is not of much help to the monks, but it is crucial to the six-pointed tree. The birth of the true spirit of the six-pointed tree in the past was directly contributed to by Sumeru Epiphyllum.

Patriarch Senchen continued: "Perhaps the six-pointed tree swallowed the spiritual energy, offended too many enemies, and was retaliated against. Sumeru Epiphyllum was eventually killed, and the rhizome was damaged. There was no possibility of saving it, so the ancestors of the Gouye people refined the rhizome. It became a jade pendant and has been passed down to this day.”

The power of this kind of jade pendant is definitely not comparable to Senlin's Sumeru Flower Curse from the past.

Fang Dushu immediately asked his doubts: "On the Panshi Bridge, King Senluo once cast a Sumeru Flower Curse that could also open space cracks. Where did this come from?"

Patriarch Sen Shen said: "This is the ultimate path that ancient cultivator Gou Ye learned through imitating the power of Xumi flowers. After his descendants studied the ultimate path, they tempered the true treasure and could also split space. However, this ultimate path is different from The real treasure is not very powerful and cannot deal with the monks in the transformation stage!"

"Can Xumi Pei handle it?"

"No need to deal with it! If the monks of the Wolfsbane Department activate the Sumeru Pendant around the six-pointed tree, the magical power will increase. No matter how many masters your palace sends, they will be caught off guard and will be moved to other realms by the space cracks. Once your palace comes up If the master is temporarily exiled, wouldn't those Wolfsbane monks be able to escape with the six-pointed tree?"

"They think so! Where did you get this jade pendant?"

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Fang, when you killed Queen Senluo in Gouye Forest, my daughter married the son of King Senluo. I got the jade pendant from this person! According to this person, the Sumeru pendant originally cost six pieces, but Four of them have been destroyed, and there are only two of them in the world. One was originally in the hands of the Giant Night King. In order to steal the six-pointed tree, the Wolfsbane monks secretly enslaved the Giant Night King and thus got the jade pendant. The other one is in the forest. In the hands of King Luo!"

"It turns out to be the gift of King Senluo. He has such a powerful treasure. Why didn't he use it on me at that time?"

"King Senluo has made up his mind to kill you for revenge. If he uses the jade pendant on you, it will move you out of the Gouye Forest, so how can he kill you? Fellow Daoist Fang, during that battle, I once persuaded King Senluo to let you go. Go, but he insists on not listening, and I can’t do anything about it!”

Fang Dushu had no time to reminisce with Patriarch Sen Shen.

He finally asked Patriarch Senchen: "I am surprised that you have the courage to come alone. Aren't you afraid that I will get your information, take your Sumeru Pendant, and then kill you?"

Patriarch Senchen sighed softly: "Who is not afraid of death? But I and Patriarch Ling are similar in age, already nine hundred years old, and they have broken an arm. There is no possibility of cultivation anymore, and death has long been inevitable. If I can die before Now, if you resolve this grudge with fellow Taoist Fang, my death will be worth it!"

After saying that, he bowed to Fang Dushu: "If Fellow Daoist Fang can't let go of the hatred of the forest siege in the past, you can kill me quickly! I just hope that after I die, Fellow Daoist Fang will not anger my descendants again. I have already told them that from now on They are not hostile to Fellow Daoist Fang, and if Fellow Daoist Fang tells him, they will work for Fellow Daoist Fang!"

Fang Dushu pondered for a moment and said to him: "I accept your jade pendant. I will use this jade pendant to compete with the Wolfsbane monks. If the jade pendant can perform meritorious deeds and help me take back the six-pointed tree, I will do it for you." Remove the sword damage, but if the jade pendant is useless, the sword damage will continue to remain on you, and you will return to where you came from!"

"I would like to thank fellow Daoist Fang for his magnanimity and for not killing me!"

Patriarch Senchen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Fang Dushu was moved by his sincerity, and thus he forgave the past siege.He finally said: "I am neither a deer butcher nor a Gou Ye person. I always think that I am from Hexi, but my identity is changing with the situation!
The same may be true for those Wolfsbane monks. Maybe they plan to use Xumipei to make enemies of your palace, but if the situation changes, they may make temporary adjustments. If something unexpected happens during the period, I hope fellow Daoist Fang will not blame it on my information. Mistake! "

……

Recalling this, Fang Dushu retracted his thoughts.

He touched the face of Xumi Pei again. With this pendant on his body, he could prevent the Wolfsbane monks from launching a sneak attack, and he could also keep the six-pointed tree in Tianjue Mountain.

But what good would it do him?As a result, the Wuyue Palace monks will have exclusive control of the Liumang Tree and Kun Scale, and the Jianhua Cave will still be opened by the Five Sacred Mountains Palace.

Therefore, Fang Dushu could not use the Sumeru Pendant. Instead, he had to let the Wolfsbane monks take action. However, in this way, the Wolfsbane monks might monopolize the Six-pointed Tree and Kun Scale.

Fang Dushu couldn't help but wonder, how could he make the decision to handle this matter properly?
While he was making plans, the magic chariot had already arrived at Tianjue Mountain.

This is a mountain range standing on the edge of Kunyun Divine Forbidden City.

The magic chariot was led by a messenger to a mountain peak covered in fire and mist.

These fire mist were a layer of ban, sealing off the entire peak. The messenger held the exclusive formation flag and opened the fog ban. When Fang Dushu drove into the fog ban, he felt a heat wave coming towards his face.

He crouched in the air and took a look, and found that there were no buildings on the peak, only a crater with a diameter of a hundred feet was revealed. Looking at the crater, there was a cloud of flames filling the air, and an emerald green spiritual tree was planted on the cloud.

Dozens of lotus platforms were suspended around Qingyun. On each lotus platform was a Nascent Soul cultivator. Seeing Fang Dushu appear, they all looked sideways. Some people clasped their fists in salute, some nodded, and some shouted to Fang Dushu: " Junior Brother Fang, you are finally here!"

Fang Dushu looked over following the sound and saw Li Danhui riding on a lotus platform with a middle-aged male cultivator. They all waved to him. The male cultivator was Chu Houzhun, a descendant of Chu Yin, the king of Beiting.

During the battle at Longmen Pass in the past, Li Danhui, Chu Houzhun and You Jianlan were ordered to rob the Fire Dragon Star Dou. Afterwards, they accompanied Fang Dushu to Xihuangtai to meet Master Ganchi, whom they had met once before.

But since then, Fang Dushu has never seen Chu Houzhun and You Jianlan again.

Fang Dushu collected the magic chariot and landed it on the lotus platform of Li Danhui. He recounted the old story first: "I haven't seen you for two months. Senior sister has advanced to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. What a joy to congratulate! Brother Chu is here, why isn't senior sister You there?" Come?"

"Junior Brother Fang is asking You Jianlan?"

Chu Houzhun said with a smile: "Back then, when the Deer Slaughterers made a sneak attack across the border, her family in the Konggu Territory did not suffer any losses. There was no need to move to the western border like me. However, she traveled to Hexi once 30 years ago and asked Junior Brother Fang how he was doing. If you have time, let me know and we can go to her house together!"

"it is good!"

As Fang Dushu spoke, his eyes turned to the crater. Currently, Master Chu, Master Shi Geng and several masters from Wuyue Palace were all sitting cross-legged on top of Qingyun in the mountain pass, facing the green spiritual trees, surrounded by them.

The whole tree is more than ten feet high, and an old man appears in the trunk. He is sitting cross-legged at the root of the tree like Master Chu and others, with his hands on his knees. There is a blood-red scar on the back of his left hand, about Two inches long, the moment Fang Dushu drove into the fog ban, his eyes turned to Fang Dushu and could no longer look away.

In addition to the old man, there are dozens of Kuntian monks wearing Wolfsbane robes sitting cross-legged on the tree branches. Each of them occupies a branch, as if they are forming an formation, and they seem to be guarding the old man.

Fang Dushu glanced over, and among the dozens of monks sitting cross-legged on the branches, he spotted the figure of Bei Su, the high priest of the Wolfsbane Division, and Che Bu, the number one general.

High Priest Beisu reached out and touched his right arm. This was the place where he was stabbed by the Green Lotus Sword. Although it only scratched a little flesh, it could not be healed. He had been searching for famous doctors for two decades, but nothing had the slightest effect. .

He was delayed for hundreds of years by Fang Dushu's sword, and the hatred in his heart can be imagined, but he has the ability to lead a tribe, and he is a scheming person. Instead of showing hostility to Fang Dushu, he raised his fists and Chao Fang Dushu saluted from a distance.

Old Monster Che is known as the number one general of the Wolf Poison Division. At Longmen Pass, Fang Dushu killed the true spirit of the "Suppressing Sword Monument" that was his destiny. The sword monument itself was suppressed, and his own body was severely damaged.

There was a bloody hole in his waist that was as thick as a baby's arm, and the bone could still be seen from the injury. The wound had tortured him for a hundred years. He wanted to hate Fang Dushu to death, but at this moment, he had to hold back his anger and go to Fang Dushu. Dushu cast a forced smile.

In fact, all of the dozens of Wolfsbane cultivators sitting on the branches were injured, and they were all attacked by the Green Lotus Sword when they were at Longmen Pass in the past.

Originally there were hundreds of them, but after a hundred years, more than half of them were dead, either because they had exhausted their lifespan or died suddenly from serious injuries while seeking medical consultation.

To this day, dozens of people are still surviving.

"Master Nephew Fang, come here!"

Master Chu waved to Fang Dushu and said with a smile: "When we were at Longmen Pass in the past, my colleagues had some disagreements with you, but it is better to let go of enemies than to end them. Since they decided to return to Wuyue Palace and brought the Liumang tree, We are sincere and we have to show it!"

Fang Dushu heard the shout, flew away from the lotus platform, and landed on Qingyun.

He stood between Master Chu and Master Shi Geng and said, "May I ask Master Chu, how should we express ourselves?"

Master Chu looked at the group of cultivators among the trees: "These comrades were injured by your flying sword in the past, and the sword wounds cannot be healed. If you, nephew Fang, have a way, you might as well help them!"

Fang Dushu asked again: "What if the disciples help them and they take revenge on the disciples afterwards?"

"I will never retaliate!"

Before Master Chu could respond, the old man sitting cross-legged under the tree root spoke first: "Fellow Taoist, this time our Wolf Poison Tribe is coming to surrender as a whole. We have already betrayed the Eight Tribes of Kuntian and cut off the All options have been eliminated. From now on, our Wolf Poison Division can only be loyal to the Five Sacred Mountains Palace, and it is absolutely impossible to return to Kuntian. How can we take revenge on you, fellow Taoist!"
