This mountain, this water, and this city completely overturned his understanding of the Xiaocang Mountains.
Jiang Chen wouldn't be surprised if such a beautiful place appeared in any cave. He would only be shocked if it appeared in a place like the Xiaocang Mountains.
Can a real dragon emerge from a poor place?
Confused in his heart, Jiang Chen lowered his gaze and looked at the city. Inside the city, he saw herds of cattle and sheep, bustling with people, living like human beings.
In addition, there are many humanoid creatures in the city, the women are beautiful, the men are handsome, and there are also many boys, all of them have white teeth and red lips, and are carved with pink and jade, and they look like ordinary people.
It is true that they are not mortals. These handsome men, beauties, and cute children are all transformed from the essence of plants and trees. They are natural spirits and cannot be treated as monsters.
It is more appropriate to call them the Spirit Clan.
And the cattle and sheep are all blue, and they are not emitting demonic energy, but the spiritual energy of grass and trees, the energy of Yimu.
This means that these cattle and sheep are not real cattle and sheep, but the essence of Yimu, the enlightened spiritual wisdom of vegetation.
It is recorded in Emperor Xi's inheritance: "Plants and trees can become refined monsters if they are enlightened by the essence of the sun and moon. A tree that is a thousand years old, its essence is a green sheep. A tree that is ten thousand years old, its essence is a green ox."
"All plants and trees are inspired by the six desires of the human world and become spirits. They are called wood charms. They are green in color and as bright as a wheel. They do not like blood and have many virtues of Taiyin. A boy named Qingdi..."
"Its nature is not afraid of fire but of metal. If you look at the changes in the five elements, wood is the father of fire, and metal is the horsethief. When the golden wind comes, the wood will rot. If you encounter the wood charm displaying weapons, you can avoid it."
All things have spirituality. Birds and animals can turn spiritually into monsters, and so can flowers and trees. However, it is more difficult for plants and trees to transform into refined forms than for beasts.
For one thing, it is difficult for plants and animals to activate their spiritual wisdom, nor can they swallow the essence of the sun and moon like animals.
Secondly, plants and trees are vulnerable to attacks by swords and weapons.
Plants and trees in the mortal world that are more than a hundred years old are bound to have supernatural powers. Their materials can be used as medicine, can be used to refine tools, and are treasures for spiritual practice. I don’t know how many monks will be attracted to spy on them.
In addition, plants and trees cannot move freely like animals. Therefore, plants and trees often have just accumulated enough spiritual energy, but before they can open their spiritual wisdom, they are cut down by practitioners.
Unlocking spiritual intelligence through the attributes of vegetation is inherently more difficult than that of beasts. Coupled with the calamity of weapons, there are even fewer vegetation elves in the world.
Among the plants and trees, there is only one among ten thousand that can give birth to spiritual wisdom, and there is only one among ten thousand that can transform into form after giving birth to spiritual wisdom.
As a result, there are very few grass and wood spirits who have attained enlightenment in the world.
However, it is precisely because of the difficulty of transforming into the form of vegetation that the elves of vegetation can be protected by the Qing Emperor after transforming.
It is said in the Xihuang inheritance that the grass and tree elves have another name, Qingdi Boy. And this is the symbol of Qingdi's protection.
Qingdi is the God of Spring and the Emperor of Wood. He controls the vitality of all things, and most of the plants and trees are all under the name of Qingdi.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the grass and tree elves, but any Xuanmen monks are not allowed to kill them, otherwise, their luck will be reduced at best, or they will be punished by heaven.
Jiang Chen lowered his head and looked down, and saw the city's green energy rising into the sky, condensing into a huge canopy in mid-air, its entire body green, with billions of strands of life hanging down, creating a mighty atmosphere.
On top of the canopy, there was a person with a blurred face, wearing a blue imperial robe, who met the shadow of the emperor, looming, exuding infinite majesty.
Qing Emperor Canopy!
This is a symbol of the Qing Emperor's protection.
There is no blood on the hands of the creatures in this city, nor any karma on their bodies. Even if Jiang Chen is a revered god in heaven, he cannot take action against them.
Otherwise, if an imperial edict comes from Gouchen Tiangong, he will inevitably lose some skin.
Qingdi is the title of Emperor Fuxi!
During the reign of Emperor Xuanyuan, God Haotian died unexpectedly and entered reincarnation to undergo calamities and rebuild.
However, heaven cannot be left without an owner for a day. Therefore, under the recommendation of the gods, Emperor Fuxi went to heaven to temporarily take over the position of Emperor of Heaven.
A million years later, Emperor Fuxi abdicated and Emperor Shennong of the Earth succeeded him. Later generations were grateful for Emperor Fuxi's kindness and called him the Emperor of the East. Because the east belongs to wood, the world also called him the Green Emperor.
…
Qingdi City!
This is the name of the city in front of Jiang Chen. It became famous because of the protection of the Qing Emperor. Also, without the protection of the Qing Emperor, this city would have been destroyed long ago, and the plant elves inside would not be able to escape the mouth of the demons.
Most of the plant elves are transformed from the essence of Yimu and are natural elixirs. A bite of it for mortals can extend their lifespan, and a bite of it for cultivators can increase their cultivation.
Jiang Chen made some calculations. If Daluo Jinxian took action to refine all the plant elves in this city, then he would definitely be able to break through to the realm of ancient Daluo.
What Qingdi City, this is simply a peerless magic pill that can help people reach the sky in one step. Without the protection of a supremely powerful person like Qingdi, this place would have been eaten alive long ago.
The Qing Emperor canopy is not a decoration. It can borrow a ray of Qing Emperor's power, and even the innate Taoist master cannot break it.
…
"I understand. The fragments of the Nine Heavens under the Xiaocang Mountains must be the fragments of the Heaven."
Looking at Qingdi City, Jiang Chen had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and he knew the origin of the sudden change in the Xiaocang Mountains.
The eastern sky corresponds to the innate wood element. The innate vitality generated in this sky is called the blue sky and green vitality. It is the essence of the innate Yimu and contains a lot of vitality.
The fragments of the sky were buried deep under the Xiaocang Mountains. The vitality of the blue sky somehow leaked out and was absorbed by the creatures here, thus stimulating their bloodlines and causing them to continuously revive.
The green energy of the sky is a sacred object belonging to the plant elves. Obtained from the plants, it can open up spiritual wisdom and speed up cultivation. One year is worth hundreds of years. In this way, so many plant elves were born here.
"Heaven?"
"It seems that I am really destined to be Emperor Xi."
In the ancient times, Emperor Xi was the Lord of the Eastern Heaven. At that time, he was also the Qing Emperor.
Jiang Chen first received the inheritance from Emperor Xi, and now he met Dongfang Cangtian. If he hadn't known that Emperor Fuxi was the reincarnation of Emperor Xi, Jiang Chen would have really doubted that he was the reincarnation of Emperor Xi.
"I have a fate with Emperor Xi!"
Jiang Chen couldn't figure out what was going on, but it wasn't a bad thing at all, so he just kept it for now.
Anyway, he couldn't refuse.
If a person like Emperor Xi wants to give you a favor, can you refuse it? Accept it happily, and maybe you can leave a good impression.
With a thought in his heart, Jiang Chen was about to leave here and asked the Demon-Suppressing Heavenly Soldiers to take a detour to another place.
This city is the refuge of the Qing Emperor. Even the demons dare not touch it, so naturally Jiang Chen will not do anything.
However, just as Jiang Chen was about to leave, there was a wave of green energy in Qingdi City, and suddenly a wisp of green energy flew out in the direction of Jiang Chen.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen stopped.
Green light flew in, and after a while of distortion, it turned into a green cow. Yimu green energy circulated around it, and the breath of life filled the air.
This is a grass elf with the cultivation level of Daluo Jinxian. Its body should be an ancient tree that has been around for thousands of years. This green cow was transformed into it.
Jiang Chen stepped forward and said politely: "I am a poor Taoist, but I owe you my honor to my ancestors. I am on duty under the Qing Emperor. Now I am ordered to eliminate demons. I have unintentionally disturbed your place. Please don't be surprised, my fellow Taoist."
When Qing Niu saw the Heavenly Soldiers coming in force in the city, he thought they were coming to deal with Qing Emperor City. Although he was protected by Qing Emperor, he was still a little worried, so he came out to inquire about the situation.
Now when he heard that Jiang Chen revealed his origins, that he was also a subordinate of the Qing Emperor, he immediately knew that there was a misunderstanding, and his heart dropped to his stomach.
After learning about Jiang Chen's origin, Qingniu said politely: "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Yudou. I don't know where my friend is from, and I haven't gone out to greet him. I hope you don't blame me, don't blame me."
After that, Qing Niu introduced himself: "I am a poor Taoist ghost. I was fortunate enough to receive enlightenment from His Majesty a thousand years ago, and this is how I achieved today's achievements."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Chen was shocked again. Ming Ling is an ancient spiritual tree, with five hundred years as spring and five hundred years as autumn. Its liquid is like chalcedony, which can extend your life for hundreds of years.
The green bull said that he attained enlightenment thousands of years ago, so naturally he was not talking about the number of years in the human world, but the number of years in the ghost world, which is two million years.
This Ming Ling is an old practitioner.
Likewise, it is also a peerless treasure.
With at least two million years of cultivation, Yimu Essence is so rich. If it is refined into an elixir, it will definitely be a rare divine elixir, which is more precious than the Nine Turns Golden elixir and the Nine Heavens Mysterious elixir.
It is his true body, that big ghost tree. After some sacrifices and refinements, it becomes a good treasure that is not weaker than the innate magic weapon.
Fortunately, this is Qingdi City, and with the protection of Qingdi Canopy, the innate Taoist Master cannot fight. Otherwise, this ghost spirit would have been swallowed up by humans long ago.
Just when Jiang Chen was thinking about this, Ming Ling spoke again: "Is Fellow Taoist Yudou here to conquer the demons here? That's great. After so many years, Heavenly Court finally remembered this place and wanted to take care of it.
Take care of it.”
"The demons here are really hateful. If not for His Majesty's protection, they would have broken into the city long ago. But even like this, it is difficult to curb their greed. Whenever there are plant elves who are lost outside, they often cannot escape their vicious hands."
At this point, Ming Ling complained: "I don't know how many children have been poisoned by them over the years. It's a pity that I reported it to the Heavenly Palace many times, but the Demon Lord there just ignored me."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned and said: "The demons here are so rampant. They know that you are protected by the Qing Emperor, but you dare to take action? The demons from the lower world do not respect the emperor's orders and harm people for no reason. They should be killed!"
"Also, the demon lords in the Heavenly Palace actually ignored this matter and just sat back and watched the demons from the lower world trample on His Majesty's dignity. A group of people who are just eating corpses deserve to die!"
"They all deserve to die!"
After scolding a few words and expressing his loyalty, Jiang Chen said righteously: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, Yu Dou is here to pacify the demons here. Jiang Chen will never do anything until the demons here are eliminated."
Return to heaven."
He even said his real name, which shows the anger in Jiang Chen's heart.
Ignore His Majesty's orders!
Very good, there is one more death penalty for the demon here.
Also, the demon lords in Gouchen Tiangong knew clearly what was going on here, but still ignored it. This was no longer an oversight, but a dereliction of duty.
