Chapter 92: Zhen Yuan Zi
The formation in Hulu Mountain has the effect of concealing the aura. When Li Anran heard someone talking, they had already arrived nearby.
There was nothing around, only a half-meter-wide suspended mountain path, and there was nowhere to hide.
Li Anran subconsciously performed an invisibility spell, but suddenly realized that he shouldn't do that.
He guessed that this Gourd Mountain was the setting up of Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun Patriarch, and knew that he just had to watch the show from the sidelines, and when the snake demon and the scorpion demon captured the Gourd Boy to make the elixir, he would send the colorful lotus platform into the elixir furnace.
However, these things cannot be said openly, let alone shown.
As a god who came to earth to subdue demons, it was really unreasonable that at this time and place, when someone suddenly broke in, his first reaction was not to find out what was going on, but to hide.
Li Anran did not hesitate at all, and immediately used the Purple Sky Divine Thunder spell to patch up his invisibility.
I hid myself first and took action later just to be on the safe side.
“No!”
The mountain god's voice sounded in his ears, stopping Li Anran: "They are also the key to subduing the demon. It's best for you to show up and join forces with them to subdue the demon."
"good."
Li Anran cancelled his invisibility spell without saying anything.
He fully did everything he said before and obeyed the instructions of the Hulu Mountain God.
Just at this moment, an old man with white hair and wrinkled face dressed as a hunter and a pangolin came out of a cave not far away.
The pangolin continued to chatter, "A long, long time ago, the snake demon and the scorpion demon were causing trouble in the area. The gods used lightning to collect them into a red gourd and suppressed them in this gourd mountain. It only takes 10,000 years for them to turn into ashes."
"As a result, it is almost the 9999th year. I accidentally drilled a hole in the Gourd Mountain, allowing them to escape...Ah!!!"
Suddenly seeing a dark shadow in front of it, the pangolin was so scared that it jumped up and ran behind the old man.
The old man was quite brave. He waved the torch forward and saw a person standing there. He asked, "Who are you? Why are you in this gourd mountain?"
"I am the prison god of heaven. I heard that the monster suppressed in Hulu Mountain escaped, so I came here to subdue it."
Li Anran's mind moved, and he immediately put on his own armor and golden helmet. A glow of light surged around him, and mist rose up, making him look even more majestic and solemn.
The old man and the pangolin dispelled their doubts and bowed down: "Greetings to the Lord God!"
"No need to be so polite!"
Li Anran used his magic power to hold them up and said, "The most urgent task is to deal with these two monsters as soon as possible! I just came down from the sky and I don't know the specific situation here. Can anyone tell me about it?"
The old man hurriedly said, "Lord God, those scorpion demons and snake demons are really abominable! They have escaped for less than a year, and they have already ruined our Hulu Mountain into what it is today, forcing the villagers to leave their homes! You must help us!"
Zhen Yuanzi's methods are really gentle!
Li Anran sighed secretly in his heart.
It was the same calculated plan that the Golden-winged Roc ate up all the people of the Lion Country in one breath.
The snake and scorpion monsters of Hulu Mountain actually just drove away the mortals. No wonder there is so little resentment and hostility here.
The pangolin wiped away his tears and said, "Lord God, this is all my fault! I accidentally broke through the Gourd Mountain and let the two monsters escape! Please put them back into the treasure gourd!"
Li Anran asked, "Pangolin, I don't think you've lived ten thousand years. How did you know about this matter ten thousand years ago?"
The old man was just thinking about pleading for the pangolin, but when he heard what Li Anran said, he was stunned and looked at the pangolin with a puzzled look.
Pangolin showed a confused look on his face and muttered to himself: "Yeah...how do I know this?"
Soon, it gave an answer by itself: "I... I heard it from someone..."
There was just some uncertainty in his tone.
Another tool man...
Li Anran couldn't help but complain in his heart.
The methods used by these gods are surprisingly consistent, simple and crude.
If they want to tell you something, they will directly manipulate the people around you to tell you, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, or whether this person has any way of knowing the information!
Li Anran was a little curious.
It would be fine if this old man and the pangolin were both mortals.
Just use some magic to make them ignore these unreasonable things.
What about the monkey?
He is at least a Golden Immortal and is not so easily fooled!
Didn’t he notice that something was wrong with the old monkey in Huaguo Mountain?
The old man was obviously a little suspicious of Pangolin at this time, and asked: "Pangolin, think about it again, who told you? We must not do bad things with good intentions!"
"Uh-huh……"
The pangolin thought hard for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "It's the mountain god! Yes, it's the gourd mountain god! It saved me, and I wasn't frozen into an ice cube by the snake demon and the scorpion demon!"
The old man still didn't quite believe it and turned to look at Li Anran.
"I told it that."
The voice of the Hulu Mountain God suddenly sounded, loud and ancient, echoing in the cave.
The old man and the pangolin were shocked.
The pangolin came to his senses and jumped up happily: "It's the Mountain God! This is the Mountain God! Thank you for saving me, Mountain God!"
Then she cried and blamed herself, "My Lord Mountain God, I shouldn't have dug holes everywhere! As a result, I accidentally released those two monsters, causing great suffering to the people living near Hulu Mountain!"
The mountain god said: "This is fate, not entirely your fault. However, you still need to catch these two monsters as soon as possible to prevent them from causing trouble again."
Pangolin nodded vigorously: "Lord Mountain God, don't worry! Even if I risk my life, I will make up for the mistakes I made!"
The old man followed suit and said, "Pangolin, I'm with you! We must not let these two demons do evil again!"
Li Anran felt a little amused and helpless.
The Third Holy Mother is extremely naive under the protection of Yang Jian.
The same is true for the pangolin and the old man under the protection of Zhen Yuanzi.
Compared to those monsters in Xiniu Hezhou, the things committed by the snake demon and the scorpion demon are really nothing!
The mountain god said again: "Prison God, these two monsters have great magical powers, and they also have three magical weapons with infinite power. If you want to destroy them, you need to plant the magic gourd seeds as soon as possible."
Li Anran was very cooperative: "May I ask the Gourd Mountain God where the precious gourd seed is?"
The mountain god said, "It is on the stone platform in the center of this cave. However, this treasure gourd seed is protected by thunder and fire, so it needs a mortal body, combined with leaves of grass and soil from the earth, to take it away."
Compared with the plot of the cartoon in my memory, the mountain god mentioned an additional prerequisite of being a mortal body.
This is obviously tailor-made for the old man.
Li Anran couldn't help but look at the old man a few times, but he didn't find anything special about him. He looked like an ordinary old man.
The old man didn't think too much about it. There were two gods and a pangolin here, and he was the only mortal who met the requirements. He just said in a dilemma: "There are stones everywhere here, where can I find leaves of grass and trees?"
"Don't you have it on you?" Li Anran said, pointing at the gourd leaves on the old man's waist.
"ah?!"
The old man felt around his waist and found a green leaf.
The moment the gourd leaves are taken out.
The light surrounding the treasure gourd began to gradually dissipate.
After a moment, the red gourd turned into a crystal clear blue seed the size of a marble.
The mountain god urged, "Hurry up and take this precious gourd seed away to destroy the monster."
The old man nodded quickly and walked forward quickly.
The pangolin asked, "What about you, Lord Mountain God?"
The mountain god said, "I am old and my life is coming to an end. After you take the gourd seeds, it is time for me to rest."
Before the pangolin could ask more questions, the old man had already picked up the magic gourd seeds.
Boom boom boom!
Without the center of the formation, the formation that concealed the aura and secrets in Hulu Mountain instantly lost its effectiveness.
In an instant, rocks collapsed, the earth shook, and dust flew all over the sky.
The old man and the pangolin were so frightened that their faces turned pale. One of them lost his balance and fell off the stone platform into the bottomless abyss.
Li Anran waved his right hand, and a auspicious cloud appeared, lifting them up.
After going out, I saw that Hulu Mountain had split in half.
The pangolin was stunned for a moment, then shouted at the top of his lungs: "Lord Mountain God! Lord Mountain God!"
The sound echoed in the mountains, but received no response.
The pangolin realized what was happening and started crying loudly, shouting the words "Lord Mountain God".
The old man also had tears in his eyes. He tried hard to hold back his grief and comforted her, "Pangolin, now is not the time to be sad. We must plant the seeds of the treasure gourd as soon as possible, eliminate the monster, and complete the instructions of the mountain god."
Li Anran's gaze fell on the treasure gourd seed in the old man's hand, and he was somewhat surprised and stunned.
The Gourd Mountain God is undoubtedly the red gourd in the cave!
Li Anran originally thought that the Gourd Mountain God would transform himself into a treasure gourd seed, and then use special means to split himself into seven gourd brothers, and finally merge into one with the help of the colorful lotus platform to be reborn.
But what Li Anran didn't expect was that he did not turn himself into a treasure gourd seed, but used all his soul to nurture this treasure gourd seed.
Transform and conceive!
Although there is only a difference of two words, they are two completely different situations!
In the former case, the seven gourd brothers were equivalent to part of the gourd mountain god, but they were divided and reunited.
In the latter, the seven gourd brothers are independent newborns, which are closer to the concept of descendants.
Did I guess wrong?
Are the Red Gourd and Zhen Yuanzi just a coincidence?
Isn’t this Hulu Mountain God the remnant soul of the Hongyun Ancestor?
Just when Li Anran began to doubt his own judgment, there was already a big commotion outside.
The North Sea Demon Master's Mansion.
The demon master Kunpeng, who was in retreat, suddenly felt a palpitation and was suddenly awakened from his state of enlightenment. He took out the River Map and Luoshu and did some calculations, and his face suddenly changed.
The next second, he appeared above Hulu Mountain.
Buzz!
In the void, golden lines emerged, densely packed, covering an area of thousands of miles, connecting heaven and earth, evolving the great way. There was endless murderous intent in the mystery, and even a Daluo Jinxian would stop here.
But Kunpeng didn't take it seriously.
Before Emperor Jun died, he handed the River Map and Luo Shu to it.
After so many years of study, his attainments in formation are among the best in the entire Three Realms.
"Fellow Daoist, please stop."
A figure blocked Kunpeng's way.
That man wore a golden crown, a crane cloak, his body was like a boy, his face was like a beauty, three whiskers fluttered under his chin, crow feathers folded on his temples, and he held a jade whisk in his hand. He was none other than Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earthly immortals!
Kunpeng said nothing and just waved his right hand forward.
Palm-sized Kunpengs swam between his fingers, making sounds of wind and thunder, and the earth, water, fire and wind gushed out, as if they were creating the world.
boom!
The shadows of the River Map and the Luo Shu suddenly emerged, filled with an ancient and vast atmosphere.
The palm-sized Kunpeng kept changing in the meantime, sometimes turning into Kunshui and soaring 30,000 miles, and sometimes turning into Pengtuan and soaring up, evolving the great way of heaven and earth, with infinite changes.
Zhen Yuanzi bowed slightly, and the void in front of him appeared like ripples on the water surface, and a square golden mirror the size of a palm appeared out of thin air.
It is Zhen Yuanzi's companion spiritual treasure, the "Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth" among the three books of heaven, earth and man.
Wow!
The Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth slowly opened, and inside it was like a mercury mirror, with rippling light flowing and a ray of golden light bursting out.
A moment.
The whole world seemed to have been paused.
The River Map and Luoshu, and the giant Kun and Golden Peng, which were evolving mysteries, all paused, stopped, and then gradually disappeared.
Kunpeng's face was gloomy, and his eagle eyes stared at Zhen Yuanzi fiercely. His unparalleled demonic power was surging, causing the sky and earth to change color, and the sun and moon to lose their light. Just looking at it was enough to make people's hearts and livers break and their souls fly to the sky.
Zhen Yuanzi remained calm and said, "I still have 163 ginseng fruits in my Wuzhuang Temple."
When the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth was first created, it was just a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
However, like the Heavenly Book and the Human Book, it is an innate magic weapon that can grow and will become stronger as the heaven and earth evolve and improve.
By now, the Mirror of Heaven and Earth is no weaker than any innate treasure, and its power is even greater than that of the River Map and Luo Shu.
However, its usage conditions are extremely harsh.
You need to offer a ginseng fruit every time you use it.
The ginseng fruit blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and takes another three thousand years to ripen, and only produces thirty fruits.
In other words, this Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth can only be used thirty times at most in ten thousand years.
Zhen Yuanzi said this not only to Kunpeng, but also to all the powerful beings in heaven and earth who had noticed the strange phenomena in this place.
It is showing his strength and also showing his attitude of not sparing any efforts.
Kunpeng's face changed for a while. After weighing the pros and cons again and again, he finally did not take action and turned back to the Demon Master's Mansion.
Zhen Yuanzi sat cross-legged on the cloud, with the Jade Broom and the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror in front of him, and said, "When Daoist Hongyun was on the verge of death, he threw the Hongmeng Purple Qi into the Primal Chaos. He himself doesn't know where it is."
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun has always been kind to others, but he has suffered such a disaster. Even if you fellow Daoists are unwilling to help him, please do not add insult to injury. Whoever dares to attack me today, I will fight him to the death."
