Chapter 338 Encountering a Mountain Ghost in the Forest
"Disappointed?" After hearing this, Goddess Yongcui smiled instead of being angry: "I'm afraid it's not your turn to judge my character, right?"
Zhao Ming was still minding his own business and said: "It is not surprising that such a remote and uncivilized land still maintains blood sacrifices of human beings. I also understand that changing witchcraft customs cannot be achieved overnight.
There is even less need for thunderous tactics.
I heard before that the Jiuli Kingdom had banned human blood sacrifices, and I thought that the high priest and the great witch Zhu were also enlightened people. However, today is an unfortunate day, but I was allowed to witness with my own eyes the scene where you, the goddess of Yongcui, indulged in blood sacrifices."
Goddess Yongcui felt that the person in front of her was a bit strange. His words and actions did not look like a disciple from a cultivating sect, and his judgmental behavior towards her made her even more unhappy.
"I'm very curious. You came to Laoye Mountain in person. You must be discussing important matters with Master Tianlong." Zhao Shu took back the wooden staff and looked at Laoye Mountain: "If you need Goddess Yongcui to come forward in person, it must be related to the survival of Jiuli Kingdom.
important things."
Goddess Yongcui's face darkened slightly. She was unwilling to continue talking and gestured to the left and right: "Do it."
All the shamans cast their spells, and the emerald green leaves turned into arrows, which contained sharp light that could penetrate iron armor. At the same time, the soil on the ground surged, and countless thick roots broke out of the ground, entangled Zhao Mi's limbs, and prevented him from doing so.
Get away.
But Zhao Shu's face remained as usual, the wooden staff in his hand glowed brightly, blocking all the leaf arrows, and the entangled roots loosened themselves.
Upon seeing this, Goddess Yongcui noticed that the other party's technique was somewhat similar to her own, and immediately shouted: "You are not from the Shangjing Sect! What is your origin?"
"It's just a bold guess." Zhao Miao pointed with his staff, and the rhizome was manipulated, and counterattacked towards the Yongcui Temple and the shamans, forcing the other party to quickly resist and deal with it.
At this time, Laoye Mountain made a dull sound, like playing an ancient pottery xun, and the strange music penetrated into the body. Yan Qiu, who was on the side, had no ability to protect himself. When he heard the music, his hands and feet suddenly became weak, and he fell to the ground involuntarily.
"The sound that shakes the soul cannot be heard by ordinary people." Zhao Shu used a wooden stick to tap several acupuncture points on Yanqiu's body, and the true energy flowed in, restoring strength to his limbs.
"This...what are you..." Yanqiu's mind was frightened by the continuous changes, and he was already at a loss.
Zhao Shu didn't explain much, and stared at Laoye Mountain. A sound of rustling was approaching, and countless centipedes rushed out like a tide. Such a shocking formation made people feel numb just by looking at it.
For example, among the tide bugs, there is a centipede that is six to seven feet long, with ocher legs, golden stripes on its back, and two tentacles that shake like long whips. This kind of alien species can no longer be described as an insect.
"Is this Master Tianlong?" Zhao Shu looked normal as he faced the thousands of centipedes. He just lightly tapped his staff and used a shroud of green light to protect the believers on the altar who had not yet escaped.
Goddess Yongcui's face darkened slightly. She knew very well that unless the person who came here had advanced cultivation and Master Tianlong's lazy temperament, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative.
"I understand, it turns out to be a voodoo insect." Zhao Shui also knew a little bit about voodoo magic. He quickly saw through the origin of Master Tianlong and said directly in front of everyone: "In addition to being born with special abilities, he is also subject to voodoo magic.
Nourish with medicine, eat flesh and blood, and thus break through the limit of species. Seeing you like this, your master must have died long ago."
"You are Zhao Shu."
A strange sound sounded around the giant centipede. Master Tianlong had no body, so it was not convenient for him to talk.
"Zhao Miao?!" Goddess Yongcui immediately exclaimed, her face changed drastically.
"What? Didn't you expect me to appear here?" Zhao Shu glanced at the Yongcui Goddess, and then looked at the giant centipede again: "I must have fought against you back then, so you can remember my aura. But I think you still belong to me.
You are in good health, and you were not injured when the star fell?"
Master Tianlong did not answer, but waved his two tentacles like flags commanding troops and horses. Thousands of centipedes circled around him and formed an array, trapping Zhao Shu and others.
On the other hand, Goddess Yongcui was confused and confused after learning Zhao Shu's identity. She could not figure out why Zhao Shu appeared here.
"Are you wondering why I appear here?" Zhao Shu's words seemed to break through the goddess's heart. Listen to him say: "It's better to think about why you appear here?"
The Goddess Yongcui came to the depths of the southern soil to meet and discuss with several demon gods, mainly hoping that they would assist in the frontline war. Li Chun once said that there was another mystery behind the return of the B star back then, and it could not be repeated. If Zhao Shu opened the altar,
When performing the method, he asked the Nantu Demon God to take action, so that Li Chun could see the changes in Qi and inflict heavy injuries on Zhao Shu.
However, Zhao Shu seemed to be able to see through people's hearts: "You are planning to let the Nantu Demon God deal with me again, but have you ever thought that I am no longer what I used to be, just like Li Chun has made rapid progress. Although he is just borrowing the Yongcui God
A tree can capture the energy of a whole area of heaven and earth."
Hearing this, Goddess Yongcui's face suddenly turned pale, because outsiders hardly knew the reason for Li Chun's improvement over the years. Even if they guessed that it was related to her marriage, no one could understand the mystery.
But Zhao Shu was different. He hit the nail on the head. At this moment, the Goddess Yongcui suddenly had a sudden impulse. It was a sign that the sacred tree would drop a warning leaf book.
"Don't you want the Nantu Demon God to take action? Then I will come directly to slay the demons." Zhao Shu paused with his stick, and the surrounding nine-color brilliance gradually condensed, and when it shined outward, a centipede like a tide was immediately caught.
Destroy half of it and turn it into bits of rotten dregs.
Master Tianlong let out a strange trembling sound, two tentacles swayed rapidly, evil winds roared from all directions, strange fog surged, and a purple-black mist enveloped the world, approaching Zhao Shui.
Zhao Shu smiled faintly, but the wooden staff in his hand "sinked" quietly into the ground, leaving no trace.
"That's not right!" Goddess Yongcui immediately felt strange when she saw this move. Then nine rays of light in the distance shot up into the sky, scattering the evil wind and mist. The entire altar was torn apart by countless vines that broke out of the ground. A huge formation will
Master Tianlong and Goddess Yongcui are both trapped inside.
"Originally I didn't plan to do this, but who told you, the Goddess of Yongcui, to come here in person?" Zhao Shu stood on the thick vines, and the enlightened nine-door array was grandly arranged in the mid-air, and the nine-color light turned into sharp edges like rain.
Mercilessly scattered, swarms of centipedes were cut into pieces.
After all, Master Tianlong has become the demon god of the weather. The nine sharp edges have been cut off, and only a few sparks have exploded on the golden-patterned iron back, but cannot damage its roots.
As for the Goddess Yongcui, although her thoughts were undecided, she was still able to cast protective spells in time to withstand the attacks from the sky.
Seeing Zhao Mian ordering Tengmu to send Yanqiu and other believers out of the formation, Goddess Yongcui also had some thoughts in her heart and said with a smile: "You have set up such a formation, not only to trap us, but also to trap yourself.
!”
"Oh, really?" Zhao Shu looked calm: "Then you might as well give it a try and see how long you can hold on?"
Although the goddess Yongcui was panicked because of Zhao Shu's appearance at first, she has calmed down now and thought to herself: "Zhao Shu is here, which means that the Xiong Kingdom is setting up a cover-up on the front line, and he is here to deal with several demon gods.
, seeing me here, he tried to take it down in one fell swoop.”
With this in mind, Goddess Yongcui took out a branch. This was a branch from the sacred tree, condensed with pure vitality. Once she waved it, the green light was like a rainbow, hitting Zhao Shu like a flood.
With a sudden blow, Zhao Shu took it all and was shattered to pieces on the spot.
After hitting the target, the Goddess Yongcui smiled at first, but then noticed something strange. In the flying dust of light, a paper mantra burned and turned into ashes, and the ashes drifted away.
"Clone?!" Goddess Yongcui exclaimed again, and at the same time quickly looked around, fearing that Zhao Shu would sneak attack from elsewhere.
"There is no need to look for it." Zhao Miao's voice echoed in the formation: "Although we have already found the direction of the door, I still want to thank you for offering this branch. When this treasure is activated, the sacred tree responds at the same time, and the tree outside Yongcui Temple
There will be holes in the barrier."
"You——" Goddess Yongcui suddenly realized what she said, her eyes turned red, and she screamed as if she was going crazy: "Zhao Shu, I'm going to kill you!!"
…
Zhao Shu slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was an airtight jungle, with thick fog lingering and the constant chirping of insects.
As the Goddess Yongcui activated the divine branches, the jungle branches and leaves in front of Zhao Shui's eyes swayed slightly. He seized the opportunity and used the Great Ming Mirror. The bright light shone directly. The originally inconspicuous flaw in the barrier was quickly magnified. With the mirror light
Penetrating through, the barrier surrounding the perimeter of Yongcui Temple was torn open, allowing Zhao Shu to step in.
Looking into the distance, there is a sacred tree that is taller than the mountains. The trunk is as thick as a pillar supporting the sky, which is breathtaking. The magnificent tree crown is comparable to that of a town. If you use your eyesight well, you can indeed see many strange birds perching among the branches and leaves of the treetops.
"The goddess took the initiative to leave Yongcui Temple, which saved me a lot of time." Zhao Shu secretly laughed.
From the beginning, Zhao Shui who appeared deep in the southern soil was just a clone. In order to ensure that the clone could walk without hindrance, Zhao Shui placed part of his magic power on the jade tree staff and handed it over to the avatar to carry it.
Thinking back to the beginning, Jiang Yingke had threatened to take away Zhao Shu's cultivation magic power inherited from Xuanpu Hall. He originally thought it was a threat. However, as his cultivation improved recently, Zhao Shu suddenly felt that there was something in his body.
Part of the cultivation mana may really be differentiated separately.
Therefore, on the way south to Jiuli Kingdom, Zhao Shu gained enlightenment while walking. However, he did not completely cultivate into a single incarnation with complete cultivation and magic power. He still had to borrow the jade tree staff to entrust his magic power, because this
The magic weapon is most consistent with the Xuan Pu Tang Immortal Technique.
As for the clones that others saw, they were still transformed using paper mantras, so they were naturally vulnerable.
Zhao Shu sent his avatar to go deep into the southern soil. He did have a plan to deal with the demon god at first. He originally thought that making some noise deep in the southern soil might lure the goddess away from the Yongcui Temple, so that he could break into it and cut it down later.
Sacred tree.
As a result, the goddess took the initiative to leave the Yongcui Temple, and even happened to appear in front of the clone. Zhao Shu was naturally not polite, and immediately made a decision to use the jade tree staff to set up the Nine Gates of Enlightenment Formation, trapping the goddess and a demon god in it.
As for whether they could be killed on the spot, Zhao Shu didn't care at all, even if they were trapped for just a moment, it would be enough.
When Zhao Shu passed through the barrier, the Yongcui Sacred Tree sensed it and immediately shined brightly. The spirits living here swarmed toward Zhao Shu as if they were ordered.
"It seems that even though the goddess has left, this place is not completely defenseless." Zhao Shui was not surprised by this, and pointed to the Nian Jue, the Zi Chen Xuanwei Sword was suddenly launched, the Ming Dynasty mirror hung high above his head, and the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace walked along.
open.
I heard a few roars of tigers and leopards, and hundreds of tigers and leopards rushed from a distance. Some tigers and leopards were carrying young girls on their backs. They were graceful and strong, wearing no clothes and only wearing thick leaves.
Their private parts are roughly covered, some people wear flower crowns, and large areas of skin are exposed.
These women, who were riding on tigers and leopards, were all beautiful in appearance, and their distinguishing feature from ordinary people was their pair of pointed and long ears. They were seen firing their bows and arrows, and before Zhao Shu could say anything, a shower of arrows came through the air.
Zhao Miao walked slowly and leisurely. The arrows approached in front of him, and were naturally stopped by the protective cloud. Taking the opportunity to take a closer look, he found that unlike the iron arrow clusters in the outside world, the arrows shot by these women looked like new shoots that had just sprouted from the branches.
, emerald green and tender, implying the effect of breaking the imperial armor.
In addition, the arrows shot by these women were extremely accurate. Although they were blocked by the Nine-Tian Cloud Platform, Zhao Shu could sense that the arrows were coming from the wind after they left the string, and they were all aimed at key and weak points. This is not a fairy tale.
Family magic is more like a special talent.
"Are you...mountain ghosts?" Zhao Shu recalled that his predecessors' notes had mentioned that beautiful women riding tigers and leopards occasionally appeared in the forests of the southern mountains of Kunlun. They collected orchids, wore lily flowers, and sang obscure songs.
But it has a unique charm.
It is said that mountain ghosts can identify grass and command birds and animals, but few people have witnessed it with their own eyes in the past, and the few legends are difficult to distinguish between true and false. However, now that Zhao Shui has seen it with his own eyes, he knows that what his predecessors said is true.
"So that's it." Zhao Shu's mind instantly understood: "The Yongcui Sacred Tree is also a visitor from outside the world, but it is not just a tree, but a group of races that live with the tree. The Sacred Tree took root on the ground and turned into a blessed place.
, and the races among them can also live in peace."
Hundreds of mountain ghosts rode on tigers and leopards, surrounding Zhao Shu and firing arrows one after another. Their movements were so vigorous and swift that ordinary people's eyes couldn't even catch them. If they were ordinary soldiers and horses, even if they were wearing armor and holding up shields, they would have been shot into hedgehogs long ago.
But this was not enough to resist Zhao Shu, and he did not fight back, letting the arrows fall outside the cloud barrier like raindrops, and just continued walking towards the tree trunk.
Halfway through the journey, the ground shook slightly, and several figures slowly approached in the distance. They looked like human figures, but they were roughly human-shaped trees, walking towards Zhao Shu with heavy and slow steps.
"Tree spirit wood guest?" Zhao Shu sensed the aura of these humanoid trees, which was somewhat similar to the plant spirit monsters he had seen in the past, but it was also different.
Without further ado, one of the tree spirits swung its arm and struck hard, while at the same time roots shot out from the ground, trying to restrain the body.
Zhao Miao was too lazy to tangle with them, so he moved around and effortlessly avoided several tree spirits. The cirrus clouds spread out and turned into the power of air restraint, binding them to the same place. The restraint was tighter than the entanglement of roots.
His body suddenly accelerated, and Zhao Shu left the mountain ghosts and woodmen behind him and turned into a stream of light and headed straight for the tree trunk.
