Chapter 41: Local chickens lay eggs and a group of demons attack
The next day, Manjusri took a leisurely stroll in the nectar valley.
The valley is vast, with several fragrant flower beds planted, and numerous bees buzzing around it.
On the ground, every hundred meters, there are rhombus-shaped stone pillars standing abruptly. The surface is full of coded holes, allowing bees to come in and out. The lower part is covered with green vines, which turn into green light to stabilize the fall.
The pearls.
Pearls are not treasures, but honey that has been solidified and collected by vines to preserve the aura inside.
Honey is rich in nutrients and can temper the body. It can also be used in refining weapons, brewing wine, setting up formations, etc., making Zhu Zheng quickly become famous and become a hot rookie.
Above the beehive, several white-core plum blossoms competed to bloom, clustering into continuous auspicious clouds and spreading out in all directions.
In Plum Blossom Auspiciousness, three or four sparrow demons are basically arranged, taking turns to detect the situation in the distance with their talents.
Zhu Jiang obediently followed Manjusri, thinking about his father's instructions last night.
"My child, when you were twisting the facts with your clever words, the Ruby Immortal didn't tell the truth, but directly stated his identity and embarrassment. It can be seen that his character has long been lost over time. Now he is just old and wants to
It’s just up to us to join the Demon Court to reenact it.”
"Such an existence is not the slightest threat to Qiongjiang Valley. In the future, you and I can use his prestige to raise our own status without any harm."
Thinking of this, the smile on Zhu Jiang's face became even brighter.
At this moment, a patrol team came from a distance, and many little demons quickly bowed and saluted after seeing Zhu Jiang.
"The eldest lady is back, look."
"I heard that the eldest lady is in trouble this time, otherwise how could she come back so soon."
"What you don't know is that they are a group of ferocious beasts led by the Big Tail Wolf King. They are extremely powerful. If this old man hadn't helped, the eldest lady would have died long ago."
"Hey, why does this old man look a little familiar, as if I've seen him in Kong Akashi's world?"
Manjusri narrowed his eyes and did not pay any attention to the comments of the demons. His calm and graceful appearance inspired Zhu Jiang's respect even more.
There are so many demons in the Qiongjiang Valley that they form a patrol team, and you will encounter a team almost every half stick of incense.
As the news of the arrival of the powerful man leaked, countless pairs of eyes fell on Manjusri, pointing and curious.
There were many naughty little demons who even ignored their parents’ instructions and jumped behind Manjusri, wanting to see what the old man was capable of.
Zhu Jiang was a little helpless, waving his hands to the people around him, signaling to retreat, but he received bursts of cheers.
The eastern part of the valley is where the monsters live.
Countless huge mushrooms are scattered and arranged in the sea of flowers.
This kind of mushroom is hollow inside and surrounded by windows. It can ventilate and excrete dust independently. It is the most common living method among the demon clan.
As Manjusri and Zhu Jiang arrived, hundreds of demons pushed away the lone house, walked out of it, and greeted Zhu Jiang and Manjusri's luggage.
They are all wearing Taoist robes and armor, with spiritual energy surging around them, clear eyes, and strong breaths. They have obviously received Zhu Zheng's guidance.
In Buddhism, it is important to be sincere and sincere. Facing virtuous and powerful people, creatures will kneel to the ground to show their inner piety. However, the Luzhou Demon Clan is aloof and unruly by nature. Their knees will only kneel before the Demon King.
He and Nuwa will not kneel down easily, even when facing elders, clan leaders, and teachers.
However, there are many demons kneeling on the ground.
Most of them have unstable auras, empty realms, and look a little embarrassed in their clothes.
These are all low-status people with no dignity.
They do not have the loyalty and cohesion of the native demon clan. They are either recruited, surrendered, or captured. They need to pass several tests before they can obtain the skills to practice.
In battle, minions are cannon fodder, using their own flesh and blood to consume the enemy's magic power, with little hope of survival.
Under the leadership of Zhu Jiang, Manjusri passed through the Mogu camp and came to the towering giant trees everywhere.
The giant tree is hundreds of meters high, with thick branches, deep roots and leafy leaves. There are countless houses scattered in the depths, and the branches are hollow inside, and there are many rooms hidden inside.
This is the Wood Road Spirit Plant, the Sky-Wangshu.
The people who live in the Wangtian Tree are all immortals. They are elegantly dressed and have a long breath. After seeing Manjusri, they did not panic at all. Instead, they nodded and saluted with a smile on their faces. They also brought some spiritual fruit wine and invited them to taste it.
Luzhou is full of wind and snow, and the climate is bitingly cold. The caves built with wooden paths and spiritual plants can well avoid natural influences while providing a steady stream of vegetation and vitality.
However, this method is not suitable in the West.
In the Western Gengjin, thunder and golden light are endless all night long. If there are such towering trees, they will definitely be eroded by thunder and lightning, unless they use formations to resist them.
Going further inside is the cave where Zhu Jiang practices.
There is a huge tiger lying on the ground, with its bloody mouth open, standing quietly on the ground.
The tiger has a body like a hill, a fierce face, sharp claws, and a tail like a giant tree and vine, covered with fine scales.
This is a strange stone——Tiger.
Manjusri followed Zhu Jiang and followed the tiger's mouth and walked in.
There is a unique cave inside the Tiger Seat, with a huge space, a fragrant smell, tables, chairs and benches, and hollows on both sides of the body, which circulate fresh air like windows.
After Zhu Jiang added some supplies for Manjusri's tea, he took out a small flower bag from his arms.
"Senior Hongyu, please accept this mere gift as a way of repaying your kindness for rescuing us."
When Manjusri saw this, he was a little surprised.
According to normal circumstances, Zhu Zheng should have given out the thank you gift to show off himself, but unexpectedly, it was replaced by Zhu Jiang.
He thought again and again and took the flower bag.
Manjusri is now in a state of poverty, without any resources or treasures around him, so the flower bag can be said to have solved his urgent need.
"Zhu Jiang, I am not saving you for these treasures, but because I don't want those ferocious beasts to act recklessly. Unfortunately, I am too embarrassed now to remain proud and refuse benefits. I will accept this flower bag. In the future
There will definitely be a generous reward."
Hearing what Manjusri said, Zhu Jiang immediately became happy.
She respectfully withdrew and took the initiative to hand over the tiger seat that she used for daily practice.
Manjusri sat cross-legged on the tiger's belly and gently tore the flower bag into pieces.
Wow~
A large number of ikebana resources fell on the ground, shining with a rich brilliance.
"Hey, that's a bit much."
Manjusri narrowed his eyes, pinched the treasure seal with his hand, and summoned two silly hens.
The hen is not made of flesh and blood, but is made of soil. It has a plump and round body and plump wings. As soon as it appears, it eagerly devours the treasure.
Native chicken technique!
Manjusri sat next to him, stroking his long beard with his hands, and waited quietly.
"It seems that the situation in Qiongjiang Valley is not good, otherwise he wouldn't have tried more and prepared so many treasures. I think Zhu Zheng put a lot of thought into getting so many ikebana resources last night. It can be said that he had good intentions.
”
"It seems that there is some truth in Zhu Jiang's sophistry. The Hanlu group has posed a great threat to Qiongjiang Valley and has even begun to suppress it. Therefore, Zhu Zheng is willing to bleed a lot in exchange for my favor.
Help boxing."
"As for why Zhu Jiang was sent here, haha, it was just because of face, it was a helpless move."
After a long time, the chicken cooed and laid two plump and round eggs.
Manjusri's thoughts moved slightly, and the chicken instantly scattered into dust and disappeared into the tiger seat.
He picked up two eggs, cracked the shells, opened his mouth, and swallowed the egg liquid and yolk into his belly, feeling the essence of ikebana.
The native chicken technique can temper treasures and absorb dirt. When dealing with swamp areas, Manjusri used this method to make it smooth.
The aura is scattered in the limbs and bones, bursting out with rich treasure light, crazily filling the decaying body.
The boundless sea of flowers appeared out of thin air, pulling Manjusri up steadily, and the colorful clouds steamed up, condensing butterflies flying, bees flapping their wings, and it was a prosperous scene.
His understanding of ikebana was gradually improving like flowing water.
The entire tiger constellation is wrapped in colorful packages, gradually adding a strange fragrance.
It was not until noon that Manjusri opened his eyes, and two cold lights appeared.
"Huh, Zhu Zhengke is really a solid person. The essence of resource condensation is actually a bit richer than crabapple fruit."
At this time, the crisp sound of wearing a ring came from outside.
Zhu Jiang changed into a sky blue dress and was smiling and dancing with the sunshine.
When she saw Manjusri coming out, she quickly stopped and said softly: "Senior, my father has prepared a banquet. Please come over."
Manjusri nodded and followed the original path to the main hall.
On the road, the demons still greeted each other, but the protagonist was replaced by Manjusri.
At this time, they already know the identity of this old man.
The famous Ruby Immortal!
Manjusri's face was as bright as spring breeze, and he kept nodding his head. He chatted with each other and remembered the name of each little demon clearly.
This shocked the group of demons and made them feel flattered. At the same time, they became more respectful and close to this elder.
At the banquet, all kinds of spiritual fruits and fine wines were available.
Zhu Zheng, wearing a festive red robe, personally welcomed Manjusri and filled him with wine.
Zhu Jiang was sitting next to Manjusri, serving him obediently. In addition, there were three or four real immortals, all of whom were the mainstays of Qiongjiang Valley.
All the monsters were drinking wine and mingling with each other, feeling like they were late to meet each other.
During the dinner, a pig demon couldn't bear it and asked about Manjusri's experience.
Manjusri had already spoken out the words he had prepared in public, especially in the face of the fear of death and his helplessness in spiritual practice. He was extremely sad and did not hide it at all.
He kept shaking his head, looking like an old man who had given up his fame, wealth and status, which made the demons feel pity.
His words had been rehearsed several times in his mind, and naturally there were no flaws. The demons listened in amazement and admired Manjusri's straightforwardness.
What is the purpose of practice?
In addition to strong strength, it is for the elusive immortality.
Facing the approach of death, living beings use various means to survive, but who will take the initiative to admit their cowardice?
After careful calculation, only Manjusri said so bluntly,
Zhu Zheng was sipping the spiritual wine carefully, looking at Manjusri's changed eyes and bleak tone, and couldn't help but sigh.
Even the legendary heroes look like they are in such pain and vividness, which shows the ups and downs of spiritual practice.
Because of this, he felt a little closer to Manjusri in his heart.
The next day, Zhu Zheng personally invited Manjusri to enjoy the scenery in the valley.
On the way, a strange snake demon came to Zhu Zheng quietly.
It is responsible for the reconnaissance and intelligence of Qiongjiang Valley, and reports all the observations during this period.
The Hanlu tribe is eager to try, and is contacting other tribes to destroy the Wine Valley, taking the opportunity to expand its inventory, improve its strength, and prepare for the subsequent Beiming brawl.
After Zhu Zheng heard the information, he frowned worriedly.
After the snake demon left, he bowed directly to Manjusri and said bitterly: "Senior, save me."
"Fellow Taoist, why are you so worried? There are still about three months until Gui Che wakes up. During this time, Qiongjiang Valley can pack up his bags and go directly to Beiminghai, relying on his direct bloodline to participate in the brawl. This will not only avoid being
Encroaching, there is still the opportunity to become famous and break through the realm."
Luzhou is the burial place where the fallen giant turtle was buried during the Sky Mending Period.
The corpse of the giant turtle contains long-lasting poison and resentment, which is simply difficult for creatures below the Golden Immortal realm to resist.
In order to ensure that the demon clan can thrive normally, the Great Sage Gui Che is willing to use his body to suppress the corpses and seal off the steaming toxins.
However, the secret realm of Demon Court requires the blood essence of Gui Che to open the confusion.
Therefore, whenever the Demon Court reappears, Gui Che will wake up from his slumber and gather his essence and blood to break the shackles.
At this time, poison and resentment, without suppression, will naturally sweep across Luzhou in an instant, causing disaster to all living creatures, with most casualties.
If you want to avoid it, you can only participate in the chaos in Beiming and stay safe in the demon master Kunpeng's dojo.
It is difficult for living beings to survive, and the environment is cruel.
These seemingly majestic and prosperous buildings, jade buildings, immortal monasteries, and cave palaces will all be corroded and vanished by Juao's resentment.
Every time the Demon Court is opened, it will be accompanied by a large number of deaths.
There used to be many races that didn't want to participate in the Beiming Brawl, so they deployed defensive measures in advance, but they didn't work at all.
"Well, I don't know the advice of my seniors. However, the red sandalwood bees in Qiongjiang Valley will produce honey in a few days. If we leave now, hundreds of years of management will be wasted." Zhu Zheng said helplessly.
.
Manjusri nodded with sudden realization, but he sneered at him in his heart.
Greed is often the work of death.
If you are reluctant to part with treasures, you will give up your life.
Zhu Zheng was short-sighted and wanted to use the honey produced by the red sandalwood bee colony to improve his own realm and take the lead in the whirlpool of struggle. However, he never thought that the reason why the Hanlu group did not take action was because they were also waiting for the opportunity of honey. At this time, Zhu Jiang suddenly said: "Father, there are enemy troops outside the valley. There are six or seven teams, all coming to ask for red sandalwood honey."
"Hmph, these hateful bastards must have gotten wind of the rumors released by the Hanlu Clan and thought that Zhu Zhengrou was kind and could be bullied. Senior Hongyu, please wait a moment while I go to meet them."
"Wait a minute." Manjusri bowed his hand and stopped Zhu Zheng.
"Fellow Taoists, they are all short-sighted and unknown people. Why are you so angry? They came here just to beat the autumn wind. If you go out directly, wouldn't it be a loss of face?"
