The mountain is filled with pink smoke and is shrouded in a rotten peach miasma all year round. Only by wearing a special peach wood token can one resist the miasma and walk as usual.
In fact, this mountain is not particularly tall or steep among the surrounding mountains, but it is the sacred mountain in the hearts of the people living hundreds of miles around.
Because there is a sacred tree on the sacred mountain!
The sacred tree has a spirit, and its true spirit often manifests itself and appears as a saint in the human world. It also recruits believers in the mortal world, imparts immortal magic, and protects the people.
Every common person has a statue of the Peach Mother in their home, which they worship every day to pray for blessings.
…
"What a pity, you probably have to pray to another god."
Lu Zheng came to the boundary of Taomu Mountain, identified the location of Taomu Mountain, and then sank into the ground.
There was no secret visit, no testing, and Lu Zheng had no intention of showing up from the beginning to the end.
Facing a thousand-year-old demon, you will definitely do more and make more mistakes, which will only make the other party wary and even take action in advance.
Lu Zheng didn't want to experience the true spiritual cultivation of this thousand-year-old peach tree spirit.
So, get it done in one go!
Lu Zheng submerged himself underground and quietly walked under the Taomu Mountain.
After crossing several small hills, he slowly approached the Taomu Mountain. Lu Zheng crossed the foot of the mountain and quietly walked up.
The Taomu Sacred Mountain is more than a thousand meters high. Lu Zheng sneaked all the way, avoiding rocks and only walking through the soil, approaching the Taomu Sacred Tree step by step.
"Huh?"
Lu Zheng stopped and did not dare to move because he sensed a small tentacle in the soil in front of him.
It’s the roots of the peach tree spirit!
"It has reached the range that the peach tree spirit can detect."
After calculating the distance, we found that we were still about 300 meters away from the location of the Peach Tree Spirit on the top of the mountain. However, Lu Zheng brought over hundreds of high-explosive bombs this time and even detonated them together underground. It must be possible to overturn the mountain.
of.
"Let's do it!"
At a distance that Peach Tree Spirit could not sense, Lu Zheng immediately dug a hole in the mountain, then put these high-explosive bombs into it one by one, and laid out a bomb network under Peach Tree Spirit.
At the same time, these bombs are connected to each other and can be detonated in series.
As for the detonation? Of course it was the hundreds of kilograms of TNT that Lu Zheng brought.
In order not to attract the attention of the peach tree spirit, Lu Zheng acted very carefully. He directly collected the soil with a gourd and then replaced it with a bomb. There was almost no movement.
One...
Two...
Three...
Lu Zheng spent five or six days on the road, but it took almost the same amount of time just to arrange the explosion site. It was necessary to ensure that there was enough space for the bomb's power to be fully released.
For this purpose, in addition to arranging bombs, he also collected large quantities of earth and rocks from under the Taomu Mountain, trying his best to ensure that he could blow up the Taomu Mountain at once and tear the main body of the Taomu Tree into pieces.
"Good guy, I feel like after this wave, I can directly join various engineering teams that dig mountains and open roads when I go back!"
"Tsk, tsk, directly improve the work efficiency of civil engineering. I am really a genius in infrastructure construction!"
…
Peach God Mountain, Peach God Tree.
The branches and leaves of the peach tree swayed, as if feeling some kind of uneasiness.
A pink figure suddenly appeared in the Peach Mother Temple under the sacred tree.
"I have met my mother!"
"I have met my mother!"
Several practitioners who were on duty in the temple immediately bowed and saluted.
I saw this peach mother wearing a pink peach blossom flying shadow silk brocade cloud palace dress, a red phoenix feather on her head and a golden step, her clothes and sleeves were fluttering, and she moved automatically in the wind.
Her jade face and red lips, phoenix eyes and moth eyebrows, her expression dignified and graceful, and her eyes as heavy as a sea of stars, give people an extraordinary sense of pressure.
"Yes." Tao Mu nodded, "What happened at the foot of the mountain recently?"
Several attendants looked at each other, and then shook their heads together, "Returning to my lord, my lord, the mountain has been peaceful and quiet lately, and nothing has happened."
Tao Mu frowned, glanced around the palace, and then flashed her eyes, "Is there any news about the divine envoys from all directions?"
The four divine envoys went to the Central Plains to collect the soul of the Peach Blossom Fairy. With four enemies against one and the Four-Pole God-locking Order blessed by themselves, logically speaking, it was foolproof.
Counting the time, they should have collected the true soul of the incense god and returned to southern Xinjiang, right?
"Returning to my lord, my lord, the divine envoys from all directions have not sent any news."
"Huh?" Tao Mu frowned. Could it be that something unexpected had happened?
My Taomu Mountain has no enmity with the Dajing official and the sect before. Logically speaking, the Sifang Divine Envoy will not encounter anything before taking action.
"Could it be that someone else bumped into me while I was doing it and saved the Peach Blossom Fairy?"
"Or was he intercepted by officials from the Great Jing Dynasty on his way back to southern Xinjiang after taking the soul of the Peach Blossom Fairy?"
"Is it because I can't get the Peach Blossom Fairy's soul that I feel restless?"
"Send a few more people there..." Tao Mu frowned, but did not continue.
"Forget it, no need..." Tao Mu shook her head, then with a flash of figure, she left Tao Mu Temple and appeared on the top of the sacred mountain, on top of a peach tree that was seventy or eighty meters high.
It is her true form, the thousand-year-old peach tree!
Tao Mu looked into the distance and saw hundreds of miles of endless mountains, an endless sea of clouds, beasts roaring in the mountains, and birds soaring in the sky, creating a harmonious and natural spectacle.
"Am I worrying too much?"
Tao Mu also used the roots of the peach tree to sense the ground and the ground within a radius of dozens of miles, but still found nothing wrong.
"Is it really because of that Taoyao ghost?"
Logically speaking, the capture of Shen Ying is far away and will have no impact on her in the short term. It should not cause her to feel uneasy.
But she didn't find anything else wrong, so she had to turn her thoughts to Shen Ying again.
The peach mother's figure is like a fairy, suspended on the top of the thousand-year-old peach tree, like a goddess in the heaven, making her subordinates and mortal servants on the sacred mountain all heartbroken and prostrate on the ground.
"No! That Taoyao ghost is the key to my enlightenment. Now I have reached a bottleneck. If there is no change, eight hundred years from now my body will wither and my soul will dissipate.
But if you can swallow the ghost of Tao Yao and use this poem of "Tao Yao" to feed your body, you will definitely be able to cultivate a pure Yang spirit, live forever, and travel throughout the world.
Envoys from all directions, please don’t let me down!”
…
The other side.
Lu Zheng finally laid out all the bomb networks, and at the same time used hundreds of kilograms of TNT as a primer, attached it to the detonation point of the high-explosive bomb, and set the timer.
Ten minutes!
The next moment, Lu Zheng fled, quickly leaving the Taomu Mountain and arriving at another mountain more than ten miles away from the Mountain.
After waiting for a few more minutes, Lu Zheng quietly emerged from the ground, squatted behind a large rock on the top of the mountain, then took out a professional camera and pointed it at the Taomu Mountain in the distance.
