Little Qihu jumped to the ground but stayed there. With greedy eyes, he raised his paw and pointed at the red mushroom on the tree.
Everyone also noticed Qi Hu's actions.
"Zhang Xu, this red sesame has taken at least tens of millions of years to grow. It has absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers. According to books, it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. It can be called a fairy grass. People want to eat it.
It will definitely strengthen your body." Lin Chenggu walked closer and whispered.
Zhang Xu nodded immediately after hearing this and said: "This red mushroom does look extraordinary, otherwise it wouldn't be protected by a giant python. It's just that it has grown too big. How to take it away is really a problem."
"Treasures from heaven and earth are hard to come by and are rare in the world. I'm afraid it can't be obtained so easily. I'm afraid it's okay to take less to prepare for emergencies." Lin Chenggu thought for a moment and said slowly.
"Okay, everyone, wait a moment. I'll go get some red mushrooms before leaving." Zhang Xu asked Hu Zi to go with him.
After climbing to the old tree with broad leaves, the two of them slowly moved sideways towards the red mushroom. Looking closer, they could see the red mushroom stem growing at the base of the dead wood. The skylight filtered through
The dense branches shine on the red mushroom, and the red mushroom shines with bright five-color light.
The red mushroom is as big as an umbrella and is red. Zhang Xu counted hundreds of symbiotic leaves. This kind of red mushroom is extremely precious in the outside world. It can only grow in places with abundant spiritual energy. It produces one leaf every hundred years, and the leaves are like fine charcoal.
Black, the red mushroom is like a burning flame, hence the name red mushroom. This red mushroom has been growing for at least ten thousand years.
Ganoderma lucidum has been rare in the mountains on both sides of the Yellow River for more than a hundred years. Generally, for diseases that cannot be cured in the secular world, just eat a small amount. Legend has it that cultivators can increase their cultivation level and speed up their practice after eating it. Therefore, it is called "immortal grass"
”.
Zhang Xu once watched a Beijing opera performed by a troupe in the village called "Stealing Immortal Grass". It was based on the legend of "Leifeng Pagoda" written by Fang Chengpei in the Qing Dynasty. It tells the story of Fahai, a monk from Jinshan Temple who was jealous of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen's happy marriage and warned Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.
Transformed by a snake demon. During the Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Xian listened to Fa Hai and persuaded Bai Suzhen to drink realgar wine. Bai Suzhen showed her original shape, and Xu Xian died of fright. Bai Suzhen sneaked into Kunlun Mountain and stole Ganoderma lucidum grass, but was stopped by Helu Erxianhao.
He was defeated, but at this moment, the Antarctic Immortal gave him Ganoderma lucidum out of sympathy and saved Xu Xian's life.
Zhang Xu knew how precious it was, so he carefully signaled Hu Zi to hold the body of the mushroom while he took out his diving knife and planned to cut off a small part. Before the blade of the knife touched it, the red mushroom's brilliance suddenly exploded, and the dazzling five-color brilliance scattered.
They rise and fall against each other, fighting against the falling edge of the blade, which looks quite supernatural.
Huzi's heart was shocked, fearing that another accident would happen. He suddenly raised his wrist and struck the top of Chizhi with his diving knife.
Zhang Xu let out an exclamation, trying to stop Hu Zi's knife. The moment the blade struck Ganoderma lucidum with cold light, a dazzling red light instantly surpassed the colorful brilliance, and only a muffled sound was heard, followed by an exclamation.
, Huzi was thrown away even with his knife, and fell heavily to the foot of the tree.
Obviously, this knife did not completely break through the powerful barrier, but it also caused some damage to the Chizhi itself. A large piece of Chizhi at the mouth of the bowl was chopped off, and Zhang Xu caught it in his hand.
The five-colored brilliance around Chizhi flickered, and in an instant it turned into a crimson brilliance and shot away without a trace.
"This Chizhi is already psychic. Can it be practiced like a human being and become an 'immortal grass'? Is it the legendary 'Elixir of Immortality'?" Huzi stood up from the ground, his mouth closed in surprise.
.
Everyone was also amazed.
"If this can be caught and used as medicine, it will definitely be made into an elixir of immortality that can bring the dead back to life!" Zhang Xu said with a sigh.
Zhang Xu came down from the tree, and a faint aura lingered around the red mushroom he held in his hand. Seeing this, Xiao Qihu happily ran over, circling around Zhang Xu's front and back, his mouth watering.
Qiu Yue put Chizhi in his arms, walked straight to the python with his knife, cut open the python's belly and took out its gallbladder, cut a large piece of python meat and put it in a back made of mountain rattan, and wiped the knife clean.
, inserted it into the scabbard, and then invited everyone to go down the mountain together.
Everyone did not delay for too long and went down along the route determined by Wang Chenggu.
This is a daunting road. Everyone hopes that if the route is correct, they can go down the mountain in the shortest possible time, escape from this area, and find a populated place.
The mountain road is rugged. As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. If you don't control the recoil well, if your foot slips and your body rushes forward, you can easily fall into the abyss.
"When it comes to mountain dangers, Huashan Mountain is the most dangerous, but compared with this mountain, it pales in comparison. I would rather go down to Canglong Ridge of Huashan Mountain ten times than walk this mountain road once. Is this the right road?" Cheng Yuanming said to himself.
Liu Lei said mockingly: "It's really hard for you. This kind of mountain road is only used by rich people like you. Do you still have money in your pocket? You can hire someone to carry you."
The sarcasm towards Liu Lei and this situation made Cheng Yuanming angry and hateful, and he was determined to get rid of these two people and then be quick.
The mountains at the foot were green and black, like a black swimming dragon. Everyone seemed to be riding on the dragon's back, looking down at the vast land. The mountain road was difficult and dangerous, and Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel weak in her legs. She could only move inch by inch. At this time, her chest and back were all numb.
My face was soaked with sweat, my face and neck felt like they had just been soaked by water, and big beads of sweat kept dripping down.
At this time, Zhang Xu no longer cared about whether men and women were kissing each other, and held Xiao Yi's hand tightly, fearing that something would happen to her.
Everyone climbed over one mountain after another. The sky was getting closer to dusk, and the mountain shadows in the distance began to change unpredictably. Some of the blurry mountain shadows looked like giant beasts roaring up to the sky, and some stood there like Pangu standing tall against the sky.
, gods, demons and monsters in different shapes. The mountain wind carries the yellow sand in the barren land at the foot of the mountain, forming a solitary smoke like a billowing yellow dragon that moves through the mountains, which is frightening.
"Brother Zhang Xu, look at those mountain shadows that are terrifying. Isn't this the place where ancient gods and demons transformed into battles?" Xiao Yi often read romance novels from ancient times in her spare time. After being frightened, an idea appeared in her mind involuntarily.
The scene of the battle between gods and demons described in the novel is very similar to the scene at this time.
"According to Buddhist scriptures, the universe is divided into three thousand great worlds and hundreds of millions of small worlds. It is called a small world with Mount Sumeru as the center, surrounded by four continents and nine mountains and eight seas. If this is really the legendary Mount Sumeru,
What has happened over the past billions of years? I don’t think anyone will know!" Zhang Xu said after a moment of thought.
Is the legend true? If it is true, then what level of connection is the earth among the three thousand big worlds and billions of small worlds? If there are immortals, which level does human beings belong to? The Supreme Realm and the Great Luo Heaven Realm
What kind of relationship is it? Zhang Xu was confused for a moment and couldn't figure it out at all.
The mountain road gets steeper and steeper, and as we go down, the surrounding mountains become hazier. From time to time, large masses of fog surge up along the valley, making people and scenery blurry. "Zhang Xu, do you think we are going in the right direction?
?Why can’t you see the scenery at the bottom of the mountain? Can you finally get out of this ancient Buddhist realm?" Huzi asked panting and sweating profusely.
"It should be no problem. Mr. Lin has learned the Zhouyi Bagua and relies on this method to determine the way out. It should lead us out of the mountains where we are lost."
"By the way, why do I feel that Mr. Lin is quite enigmatic? Don't you think he is suspicious?" Ji Feng is the most thoughtful among all the children, and his sensitive nerves make him have an indescribable feeling towards Lin Chenggu, saying
Feeling unclear, he tentatively asked Zhang Xu.
"Which area are you referring to?" Zhang Xu asked.
Ji Feng whispered: "It was Mr. Lin who first let out the news that he had picked up dragon scales. Looking back now, I feel that he deliberately let me see it before telling everyone. Otherwise, we would not have dived into the abyss of Yingchou Stream.
under."
"When he had a premonition of danger at the Long Cao under the Yellow River, Mr. Lin was extremely excited and insisted on exploring the miracles. We are children, and the impulse is understandable, but Mr. Lin is an adult and he ignored the lives of us children.
It’s puzzling.”
"I couldn't even see the 'stone man's one eye' clearly in the water. With Mr. Lin's eyes in his sixties, how could he be the first to remind you? Before entering the stone gate, Mr. Lin said with certainty, 'There must be something hidden inside the door.
There are countless mysteries, and how did he learn about them?"
When Ji Feng said this, he looked up and glanced at Lin Chenggu who was walking behind, and then said: "When he discovered the bronze tripod, Mr. Lin deliberately avoided everyone and watched the scriptures cast on the tripod alone. I vaguely felt that Mr. Lin could read it
I understand. The broken monument on Mount Xumi was also discovered by Mr. Lin first. From this, we discovered the 'Jedi' and determined the 'way to survive', and that's how we got here!"
"Let me tell you something again. Once, an old Taoist came to the village and recognized Mr. Lin and said that he was the last remaining cultivator on earth. However, Mr. Wang denied it and said that he was just a teacher. And Lin
The gentleman is very proficient in Yin and Yang Bagua, is he really a cultivator?" Ji Feng answered his questions one by one.
Lin Chenggu was well-connected in the village, and he had given guidance on Zhang Xu's studies. He was like a mentor. Zhang Xu had never had the slightest doubt about Mr. Lin. Zhang Xu explained step by step: "Mr. Lin is very knowledgeable. From what he said, he was very interested in ancient culture when he was young."
He is very knowledgeable, knows some Sanskrit, Zhongdingwen, and has also studied the Zhouyi Bagua. According to Mr. Lin, he accidentally mentioned it once when he was drunk. His ancestors were indeed from a cultivation sect, but he himself had never practiced it. The Yin Yang Bagua technique may have been inherited.
The mantle of our ancestors has inspired us. Besides, few people have mentioned the decline of the cultivation system on earth. Maybe the old Taoist has recognized the wrong person!"
After listening to Zhang Xu's explanation, Ji Feng felt embarrassed about his groundless suspicion. He rubbed his head and smiled and said, "Zhang Xu, don't think too much! I'm just curious, so I'm just asking."
Zhang Xu was very impressed by Ji Feng's kind reminder that Zhang Xu could understand and observe things carefully when everyone was in danger. Zhang Xu was very happy to have such a person by his side. Thinking of this, he said to Ji Feng one by one
"You and I grew up in the same village, so I won't think too much about it. I realize that you are both rough and thin, and I admire you." After saying this, the two of them burst out laughing.
"No matter what, you still have to be careful and don't let others fool you!" Ji Feng kindly reminded you.
"Well, I understand!" Zhang Xu nodded in agreement.
In fact, Jingfeng reminded that Zhang Xu was quite suspicious when he connected all the things, especially Mr. Lin's understanding of various things after time travel and the dreams he mentioned many times, which also made him suspicious. Just one day
The teacher has been a father for life, and he doesn’t want to think about other things. Besides, no matter how mysterious Mr. Lin is, he can’t connect the things that span the two worlds, right? But there is an extra scroll, a cauldron, and a dragon in his Shenque cave.
, and I dare not say that I know it to everyone, that would be called weird.
Unexpectedly, it was getting dark. Looking at the mountains shrouded in black mist, everyone couldn't help but feel melancholy. It is exactly what is said: "Looking at the mountains from the side, there are peaks from the side, with different heights from far to near. You don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because you are here."
"In the mountains".
Where is the road leading to the human habitation among the vast mountains?
