Chapter 138: Building Wood
After flying towards the huge shadow for three days, I finally saw the full picture of the shadow.
It was a huge sacred tree, with no top at first sight or back at first sight. There were large forests under the foot of the tree, and several rivers flowed out from under the trees and flowed into the distance.
There are towns in the forest. You can see many people logging in the sky. It seems that the people here rely on the forest to eat the forest.
It took another day before flying to the big tree. When we got closer, we could see many monks flying around. Among the lush leaves, a Taoist temple appeared in front of Zhang Ying.
This should be Aoki Temple.
Here, Zhang Ying did not hide his cultivation, and the faint pressure of the foundation-building stage was emitted. Just after waiting for a while, a monk came.
"Hello, fellow Taoist, I am Ye Changran, Aoki Guan, I don't know my friend..."
The monk in front of him was also a foundation-building monk. The monk also had a wooden stick in his hand, and there were several leaves like jade on the stick, emitting two layers of precious light.
"Hello, fellow Taoist! My name is Zhang Ying. I heard that Guiguan has a demon-killing conference, so I came uninvited. I hope I will forgive you." Zhang Ying said with a smile.
When the Taoist heard this, he immediately said happily: "It turns out that he was also attending the demon-killing conference, so please leave inside!"
Zhang Ying rode the Red Tide and followed the monk. The disciples and monks next to him made way.
"I am not from Dongzhou, I just came to Dongzhou for a trip. I don't know what kind of monster killing meeting is. I don't know which big monster to kill?" Zhang Ying asked.
Ye Changran said: "It's not a monster from any other way. The fellow Taoist saw that the Jianmu divine tree in front of him did not."
Zhang Ying nodded, this is nothing nonsense, such a big tree is taller than a mountain.
"The divine wood has a spirit, which naturally attracts many monsters. The most annoying thing among them is the insect monster. These insect monsters explode from time to time, and the number of cultivation varies. My Qingmu Temple has the responsibility to guard the sacred tree, so we naturally want to wipe out the insect monster. But relying on our strength alone is not enough, so we launched this demon-killing conference."
"So that's how it is!" Zhang Ying suddenly realized. The branches of Jianmu in front of him were as hard as rocks, and the leaves were like green jade. Even such a sacred tree would be disturbed by monsters.
This is because the energy contained in the divine tree is too great! Jianmu is known as the Lord of Ten Thousand Woods. The wood energy produced by him every day can support a large school of practice for one year. Half of the wood energy in Dongzhou comes from him, and this is simply a holy place for practice.
Not only human monks, demon monks, and even ghosts want to get a share. Aoki Temple occupies such a treasure land. Although the cultivation resources are worry-free, it also bears great pressure.
Therefore, Aoki Temple hosts various activities every year, inviting monks from all over the world to come here to eliminate demons and ghosts.
This year is just when the insect demon is coming, and this insect demon is one of the most troublesome disasters, so Qingmu Temple has recruited people to protect the sacred wood.
The two entered the view through a tree hole more than three meters high. The tree holes more than three meters high were written on the big words "Qingmu Temple", each with a large word several feet in a circle. This tree hole is like a small scar for the entire sacred tree. In fact, there are many slightly smaller tree holes that have people entering and leaving, but it is obvious that this tree hole is the main entrance.
Of course, you have to go to the main entrance, and Zhang Ying, who was in the Foundation Establishment Period, is undoubtedly a guest.
"I don't know where the fellow Taoist came from." Ye Changran asked.
"I come from Huju Temple in the northeast. I don't know if my fellow Taoists have heard of it." Zhang Ying replied.
Ye Changran frowned and thought about it, but couldn't think of any reason. He smiled and said, "There are so many Taoist temples in the world, how could I understand them one by one? I just don't know what my friends are good at. To be honest, these insect monsters were born in sacred trees and absorbed wood energy since childhood. They are very resistant to wood-type spells."
This is also one of the reasons why Aoki Temple needs to find outsiders. Unfortunately, Aoki Temple monks are also good at wood-type magic. Isn’t it difficult for people to kill insect monsters?
Zhang Ying smiled slightly. A sharp sword energy came out of his hand and then another golden wind flew around him.
Ye Changran's eyes lit up, and he could naturally feel the majestic metallicity in the sword energy and the metallicity in the wind method. Jin Kemu, this kind of spell is the best to deal with insect demons!
"Friends of Taoism! With the help of fellow Taoists, this insect demon will definitely be vulnerable!" Ye Changran said.
The one who loves the most in this Qingmu Temple is the sword cultivator, followed by the monk who masters various gold-type magic. Sword cultivator is not only the first priority in attacking, but must be metallic!
"The colleagues who came to support this time were Elder Wanjianhe of the Beihan Sword Sect, Mingguang Sword Master Bufuji of Jiangshan Temple." Ye Changran said.
"The unrich monk from Jiangshan Temple?" Zhang Ying heard a familiar name.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Zhang knows you?" Ye Changran said happily.
"I heard a little about it. I heard of him when I was traveling in Tongtian City." Zhang Ying said.
He did hear of this monk in Tongtian City. He was a junior wizard from Jiangshan Temple, that is, a monk in the early stage of foundation building. However, unlike other monks, this monk is good at scattering money and has the style of sword cultivating.
"I just can afford to hire this not-rich monk. Guiguan paid a lot of money." Zhang Ying said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang is joking. We will give you a big gift when the time comes." Ye Changran said immediately.
He misunderstood Zhang Ying's meaning, but Zhang Ying was telling the truth. Jiangshan Temple cultivates wealth and pays money for everything. But they cannot be addicted to wealth, and everyone is poor. This money is equivalent to over-the-go money. The more over-the-go money, the higher the cultivation level of these monks. Moreover, they also have the means to invite Master Jialan, which also consumes money.
Soon, Zhang Ying saw several foundation-building monks mentioned by Ye Changran. These monks were drinking and joking with a Qingmu Temple foundation-building monk, and there were also several monks who were not in the foundation-building stage.
When Ye Changran came in, these people calmed down and looked at Zhang Ying involuntarily. When they felt the faint pressure of foundation-building on Zhang Ying, several foundation-building monks picked up their wine glasses to pay tribute to him from afar.
Ye Changran immediately introduced: "This is a fellow Taoist Zhang Ying from the Northern Huju Temple. His sword energy and metallic style are both very good." This is obviously a gild on Zhang Ying's face. Just because he was good at it just now, it is impossible to tell that Zhang Ying is 'very good'.
Zhang Ying bowed to everyone and knew each other, and then he patted Chi Chao's tiger's head beside him and said, "Chi Chao, say hello to them."
Chi Chao glanced at Zhang Ying with dissatisfaction. He hated talking in front of outsiders the most, which would affect his image. However, after Zhang Ying's repeated requests, he still said reluctantly: "Friends of Taoism!"
These people shocked the people on the ground! None of them noticed that this tiger was also a foundation-building monster! This is because Zhang Ying and the Red Tide Tiger were united. Their aura was the same, and others would only think it was Zhang Ying's aura.
Everyone looked at each other. It was nothing to be a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but this monk was different with the same mount in the Foundation Establishment Stage! He had a high chance of winning with two fights and one.
The first person to stand up was Mingguang. He bowed politely and said, "I have met two fellow Taoists in the Lower Mingguang." Mingguang is a casual cultivator. It is great to be able to cultivate to the foundation-building stage. He did not defect to a major sect as a guest official. He relied on his own practice and was used to seeing the worldly ways, so he showed goodwill first.
The second is the monk who is not rich, and those who are all good at being a monk are all human beings. He smiled and said to Zhang Ying: "Fellow Daoist Zhang is polite. I am not rich from Jiangshan Temple. If you have time, you can get together with me." The origin of the big sect is different, and his tone is neither humble nor arrogant.
The last Wan Jianhe bowed to Zhang Yinggong and said, "The Wan Jianhe of Beihan Sword Sect." That's all.
Ye Changran beside him was also happy and quickly called Zhang Ying and Chi Chao to sit down. Chi Chao, who had always been lying on the ground, actually had an independent table and chair, which made Chi Chao feel that he was different from the past.
He wanted to save face and immediately liked Ye Changran a lot, and couldn't help but smile at him.
Zhang Ying sat down and saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she said, "I just saw everyone having a great time talking about what they were talking about."
One of the monks who had no foundation building quickly said, "I am talking about some interesting stories about the Shenmu, so you may as well listen."
Zhang Ying nodded, and then the monk continued to talk. He was very eloquent and told the story vividly. There were people supporting the actors, and some even urged him to drink.
After a while, Zhang Ying understood that these Qi training monks were originally from the atmosphere!
It is worthy of being the Aoki Temple, which often organizes activities, and even the atmosphere group can be created. After the active atmosphere of the atmosphere group, several unfamiliar foundation-building monks also let go, drinking and bragging. The atmosphere became harmonious again.
OK Aoki Temple!
After three rounds of wine, Mingguang suddenly came over. He held the wine glass and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang who came from afar, come and I'll give you a glass." Zhang Ying drank with him. Mingguang said, "I wonder why Brother Zhang came here?"
Why did I come here because I was bored and wandered around...
"It's just a road, and Jianmu is famous all over the world, how can we not see it?" It's true that we are famous all over the world, but Zhang Ying has never heard of it before. Zhang Ying was not from the Ming Empire.
Mingguang smiled, then clinked the wine glass with Zhang Ying, and then went back.
This person is a little confused...
Everyone drank enough. The wine was brewed from the sap of the sacred tree. The wine was very strong, and even the monks who were not drunk were a little fluttering. Everyone returned to the room arranged by Aoki Temple.
Not long after returning to the room to rest, Ye Changran knocked on the door. He came into the room and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang can drink well today?"
"It's not bad, this wine is OK," said Zhang Ying.
The two sat down, Ye Changran handed a box and said, "Fellow Taoist came spontaneously, and we, Qingmu Temple, cannot be without etiquette. This is a small meeting ceremony."
Zhang Ying understood in seconds, this is reward.
Ye Changran said: "A little gift doesn't make you respect me. After the matter is done, we will thank you very much."
What he meant was that this was just payment first and would be checked out after the matter was finished.
Zhang Ying opened the box and there was a green crystal inside.
"This is the crystal of the sacred tree, which has the wonderful function of repairing the body. Even physical damage during the foundation-building stage can be repaired. If it is integrated into the Taoist foundation, it can also be exchanged for a large amount of wood energy. It can even be used as a refining tool and alchemy material."
Chapter completed!
