As the ancestor of earthly immortals, Zhen Yuanzi's words in front of the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth and many powerful people could not be false.
In an instant, most of the powerful people who were paying attention to the developments in Hulu Mountain were gone.
At this moment, the sky suddenly appeared with golden light and auspicious aura, and a auspicious cloud appeared in the sky.
There was a person standing on the cloud, wearing a pearl tassel and gold leaf button on his head, a plain blue robe with a dragon and phoenix pattern, and an embroidered velvet skirt around his waist. In his hand was a mutton-fat jade bottle with a weeping willow branch inserted in it. He had a dignified manner, graceful and compassionate appearance.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva." Zhen Yuanzi bowed slightly.
"Great Immortal Zhenyuan." Guanyin returned the greeting respectfully and said, "Daoyou Hongyun has done a favor to the two saints of my Western Religion. My Buddha Tathagata has personally gone to the Sea of ​​Blood and the River of Hades, and will not allow anyone to interfere with Daoyou Hongyun's tribulation."
"Good." Zhen Yuanzi was completely relieved.
Ancestor Hongyun is a good man, and his biggest enemies are Ancestor Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe.
Now that he is here to guard against Kunpeng, and Tathagata goes personally to suppress the Styx, the dangers from the outside world have basically been eliminated.
The rest depends on Fellow Daoist Hongyun’s own luck and choices.
Zhen Yuanzi looked through the formation and towards Hulu Mountain.
Li Anran and the others have returned to the old man's residence.
As soon as the clouds descended, the seeds of the magic gourd flew out from the old man's hands and sank into the ground. There was no need for anyone to water it, as it absorbed the water in the bucket and the well by itself.
In just a few breaths, a crystal green gourd vine broke through the rock and came out.
Snap!
The gourd vine pulled lightly, breaking the huge rock into two pieces, and built a gourd stand for itself.
It grows rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But in just a moment, the gourd vine, which was not even as thick as a thumb and as long as an arm, suddenly became as thick as a wrist, and the gourd leaves sparkled with crystal light, as if they were carved from jade.
Soon after, it blossomed and bore fruit, and seven gourds of different colors grew.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Childish voices came from the gourd.
"Good boy! Good boy!" The old man rushed forward and hugged the gourd, crying with joy.
How strange!
Li Anran looked at the scene in front of him, but he began to have doubts in his heart.
Generally speaking, the deeper the roots of creatures, the more difficult it is for them to reproduce and the slower they grow.
He originally thought that the growth process of the magic gourd seeds was simplified in the cartoons in his previous life, but he didn't expect that it was not the case.
It actually took this magical gourd seed only less than a minute to take root, sprout, bloom and bear fruit, giving birth to the gourd baby and giving birth to intelligence.
How powerful can the Calabash Brothers be that are almost forcibly catalyzed?
How strong can the Snake and Scorpion Demons be when they are no match for the Calabash Brothers and can only use magic weapons and schemes?
However, the Gourd Mountain God, who was suspected to be the residual soul of the Red Cloud Ancestor, did not tell him that this was just a formality, but instead reminded him that only by growing the magic gourd could he eliminate the snake and scorpion monsters.
This shows that in the eyes of the Calabash Mountain God, he is no match for the Snake and Scorpion Demons and must rely on the Calabash Brothers to destroy them.
For a moment, Li Anran couldn't tell whether the Calabash Mountain God underestimated him or he underestimated the Calabash Brothers and the Snake and Scorpion Demons.
"Children, this is the Lord Prison Warden of Heaven. He has come down from heaven specifically to help us eliminate monsters." The old man introduced Li Anran to the Calabash Brothers.
"Grandpa, we can destroy the monsters by ourselves, without any help from others!"
"Yes! We don't need anyone's help! I can burn them to ashes with just one fire!"
"I can drown them all with a mouthful of water!"
…
The gourd brothers did not appreciate it. They kept chattering and were full of confidence in destroying the monster.
Li Anran wanted to test the strength of these gourd dolls so as to deduce the strength of the snake spirit and scorpion spirit, so he deliberately said, "What are you little gourd dolls capable of? Why are you so arrogant?"
"I am extremely strong. I can crush those two goblins into powder with just one finger!"
"I have clairvoyance and clairaudience. I know everything the fairies say and do."
"I can breathe fire and burn them to death!"
…
The gourd brothers had no ulterior motives and started to show off their abilities at the same time.
Li Anran said: "I happen to know a little bit of what you are talking about, how about we compete first?"
The old man was startled and hurried forward and said, "God, they are still children and don't know much. Don't bother with them. I apologize to you on their behalf."
"I'm not angry."
Li Anran stopped the old man and said, "As the saying goes, 'know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.' Since we are going to join forces to fight monsters in the future, we should first understand each other's strengths to avoid any mistakes. What do you think?"
"Let's compete! Who's afraid of who?" The fourth child, who had the hottest temper, responded loudly.
The facial features of Siwa appeared on the green gourd. He opened his mouth and a ball of flame spurted out, instantly burning a large rock in the distance red.
Then he opened his mouth again, and a bolt of thunder flew out, smashing another stone into pieces.
The other gourds cheered and jumped for joy: "Great! Great! Fourth brother (fourth brother), you are awesome!"
Si Wa proudly swayed on the vines twice, and when he saw that Li Anran hadn't moved, he urged, "It's your turn now! Are you bragging?"
The other gourd brothers, including the old man and the pangolin, couldn't help but look at Li Anran.
They were also looking forward to seeing how powerful the legendary gods were.
Li Anran had only one thought in his mind.
So weak!
The fourth child's flame was quite loud, but it was just the most common wood fire, and the thunderbolt was just ordinary lightning.
If this level of skill is enough to almost burn the Snake Demon and the Scorpion Demon to death, then this Snake Demon and the Scorpion Demon is too weak!
I'm afraid he's not even a true immortal!
He suppressed the doubts in his heart, flicked his fingers lightly, and a bean-sized flame flew out.
Old man: “???”
pangolin:"???"
The gourd brothers were also stunned, and then they burst into laughter: "This flame is too small! It's not even as big as a fingernail!"
Only the fourth child was silent.
"Fourth brother, what's wrong?" Liuwa was the most alert. He noticed something was wrong and asked.
call!
Before Siwa could speak, he had already seen the answer.
I saw the bean-sized flame falling on a huge rock several meters high. The rock melted like ice and then began to burn fiercely.
After a while, the rocks were burned out, leaving only some black ash that drifted away with the wind.
The surrounding rocks and plants were completely intact.
The fire control ability is evident!
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The expression on the gourd changed from ^_^ to Σ(⊙▽⊙“a, which is very vivid.
Li Anran said calmly: "This is called Fire in the Stone."
Before he finished speaking, Siwa suddenly shouted, "I understand!" He opened his mouth and a ball of fire gushed out.
But this time, the flame was no longer ordinary wood fire, but the stone fire that Li Anran had just used!
call!
The rocks were instantly ignited and melted by the flames, and burned to ashes, while the surrounding objects were also not damaged at all.
Li Anran was a little surprised, but also became interested, and flicked his fingers again.
A spark of flame flew directly into the air and burned fiercely without the help of anything.
“This is air fire.”
call!
Almost at the same time, the fourth child opened his mouth and spit out a ball of fire that burned fiercely in the air.
It was also air fire!
"Samadhi True Fire."
Li Anran did not stop and performed the magic formula again.
This time the difficulty was greatly increased. The fire in the wood, the fire in the stone, and the fire in the air were directly combined into one, turning into a ball of red flame floating in the air.
Even from hundreds of meters away, one could feel the rolling heat waves coming towards you, and the void seemed to be distorted by the burning.
Just a few seconds later, the fourth child opened his mouth and spit out a ball of Samadhi True Fire.
Li Anran's eyes narrowed, this time he was really surprised.
His Samadhi True Fire had long been upgraded to the maximum level with experience, and its power had reached the limit of what an ordinary cultivator could achieve!
But these four kids only took a look and not only learned it instantly, but their power was no less than his!
"Fun! Really fun!" The two gourd leaves under Siwa's gourd clapped like hands and shouted, "Lord God, do you know anything else?"
"The flames are gone, but..."
Li Anran made a hand gesture and pointed forward. Thunderclouds gathered and a red-gold bolt of lightning fell from the sky.
"This is called Purple Sky Divine Thunder."
The fourth child pondered for a moment, opened his mouth, and with a "boom" sound, a ray of purple divine thunder spewed out.
"Great Thunder!"
"Blue Sky Divine Thunder!"
Li Anran used the three kinds of divine thunder that he knew one by one.
However, Siwa was able to learn and master it after just watching it once, and different from Li Anran who used thunder magic, he directly turned these into innate abilities.
“No more.”
Seeing that Siwa was still looking at her expectantly, Li Anran spread her hands.
The fourth child immediately showed a disappointed expression.
The other Calabash Brothers started shouting, "Lord God, it's time to compete with me! It's time to compete with me!"
They saw Siwa's progress and Li Anran's strength, and their attitude towards Li Anran was completely different from before, and they became enthusiastic instantly.
Li Anran did not refuse, walked up to the red gourd and said, "You are extremely strong, right?"
"Yes." The red gourd shook up and down twice.
"Then let's have a contest of strength." Li Anran put his hand on the gourd and said, "As long as you can push me, you win."
"Okay." Big Boy responded.
Li Anran felt a force coming from the red gourd.
Not even as strong as the Halloween Dragon King!
Before Li Anran finished his thought, he heard the eldest boy roar "Ah", and the power coming from the gourd suddenly became much stronger.
"Huh?!" Li Anran's expression gradually became serious.
To others, "infinitely strong" is an adjective, but to Da Wa, it is like a noun.
He really has unlimited strength, with no limit!
From being inferior to the power of one dragon in the beginning, his power later far surpassed that of the Ten Thousand Halloween Dragon King and could be compared with the Yellow Wind Monster.
But this was still not the limit and was still increasing rapidly. In just a few breaths, Li Anran had to use all his strength to compete with it.
"Ah!!!" Big Brother roared again.
The strength suddenly increased a bit.
Li Anran's body was unstable and he was pushed back half a meter. His feet left two half-foot deep marks on the ground.
"I (big brother) won!" All the gourds shouted happily.
Li Anran looked calm, only looking at the second orange gourd, and said: "I don't have clairvoyance and super hearing, but I have the third eye, which can see through the boundary between yin and yang, the truth and falsehood, and the infinite mystery."
As he spoke, Li Anran closed his eyes, and golden light suddenly condensed between his eyebrows, revealing a vertical eye, and a divine light burst out.
boom!
On the cliff, a rock exploded, raising dust.
This spell was deduced by Yang Jian based on his third eye on his forehead after he learned that Li Anran could not see through the magic of sleight of hand.
On the system panel, it is a fifth-level spell!
It can be on par with spells like Samadhi True Fire and Purple Sky Divine Thunder!
Very powerful!
Likewise, practicing it is not easy!
However, Erwa only hesitated for a moment before he smiled happily and clapped his hands, saying, "I can do it too! I can open my third eye!"
他额间没有多出一颗竖眼，但双眸里有神芒迸射，将远处的峭壁又削掉了一块。
Li Anran turned his head and looked at the yellow gourd, and said: "I have a spell that can increase the hardness of the body and turn the body into the strongest weapon..."
"I have the ability to call the wind and rain, and I can make the sky and the earth change color and the sun and moon lose their light in an instant..."
"I know how to become invisible..."
…
The gourd brothers behind looked at Li Anran eagerly, their faces full of impatience.
The old man gradually let go of the worry in his heart.
He realized that the Lord God was not trying to compete with his children at all, but was teaching them skills!
Li Anran indeed thought so.
Judging from the strength displayed by the Calabash Brothers at the beginning, the Snake Demon and the Scorpion Demon are at most two monsters at the True Immortal Realm.
With his strength, he can suppress it with just a backhand.
But, since the Calabash Mountain God said that only the magic gourd seeds can destroy the monsters, he will give the mountain god a favor and let these Calabash Brothers be the main force!
In addition to this, Li Anran also had the idea of ​​seeing the limits of these gourd brothers.
He was not stingy at all. Except for a few skills and spells such as the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, Hehuan, Juling Lingqian, and Samadhi Divine Wind, he demonstrated all the spells he knew.
The result, however, gave him a big surprise!
The talents of these seven Calabash Brothers can no longer be described as "terrifying"; it's like they're cheating!
When it comes to spells that match their attributes, the improvement speed is abnormally fast!
The eldest is good at strength, the second is good at detection spells, the third is good at physical strength, and the fourth is good at fire and lightning spells...
It can almost be said that "once you see it, you will know it; once you use it, you will become a master". In just a short moment, I can be on par with him!
Especially the eldest, third and fourth children, because they have strong bodies and are good at thunder spells, they have the biggest improvement!
The strength has increased dozens of times compared to the beginning!
"If it was Yang Jian instead of me who came here, could they have improved to the same level as Yang Jian?"
Li Anran's mind was racing, but he did not hesitate at all in his actions. He demonstrated his spells one after another, allowing these gourd brothers to imitate and learn from them.
Regardless of whether this Hulu Mountain has any connection with Patriarch Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi, the terrifying talents displayed by these Hulu Brothers alone are worth his investment in establishing a good relationship.
"This prison god is actually proficient in so many spells!"
Seeing that Li Anran taught the spell to Calabash Brothers without reservation, Zhen Yuanzi smiled again: "No wonder Yang Jian gave him this opportunity, he is quite courageous! He also trusts Yang Jian enough!"
The matter of Patriarch Hongyun was only revealed to the group of powerful people after the Hulu Mountain formation was broken.
But not all the powerful ones knew about the matter of Ancestor Hongyun at this time.
For example, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun of the Xianjiao school.
The Red Cloud Patriarch was ambushed by Kunpeng and died. Only a wisp of his soul escaped. He wanted to reincarnate, but was stopped by the Styx Patriarch, who forced him to hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
After learning that Patriarch Hongyun had thrown the Hongmeng Purple Qi into the chaos, Patriarch Minghe still refused to let Patriarch Hongyun go. He directly dragged him into the sea of ​​blood, wanting to turn him into an Asura.
Fortunately, Zhen Yuanzi had the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth in his hand, and he discovered the matter in time, thus rescuing Ancestor Hongyun from Ancestor Minghe.
However, the remaining soul of Patriarch Hongyun has been eroded by the Sea of ​​Blood and the River Styx, and even reincarnation has become a luxury.
Zhen Yuanzi thought about it and decided that only Yuanshi Tianzun's Three Lights Divine Water could best restrain the poison of the sea of ​​blood and preserve the remaining soul of the Red Cloud Ancestor.
So, he went to Yuxu Palace in person and asked Yuanshi Tianzun for the Three Lights Holy Water, and also owed a cause and effect to the Chan Sect.
Patriarch Hongyun did not want his old friend to owe others karma for him, so he asked Zhen Yuanzi to tell Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun about the matter of Hulu Mountain, wanting to settle this karma personally.
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun doesn't care about these.
Even though Patriarch Hongyun was a great and powerful being from ancient times, he was just a remnant soul back then. How much power does he have left now?
What's more, Yuanshi Tianzun saved Ancestor Hongyun at the beginning only because Ancestor Hongyun had always been kind to others and had some good relationship with the Three Pure Ones, so he did it for the sake of convenience and never thought about repaying him.
However, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun also knew that if he did not give Patriarch Hongyun a chance to settle the cause and effect, Patriarch Hongyun would probably find it difficult to let it go.
He told Yang Jian about this, and Yang Jian passed it to Li Anran.
Also, because the identity of Patriarch Hongyun was so sensitive, Taiyi Rescuer of Sufferings only hinted at the identity of Patriarch Hongyun to Yang Jian indirectly, and Yang Jian did not tell Li Anran anything directly, only saying that there was a great opportunity.
Zhen Yuanzi has already calculated all of this.
This is why people feel that Li Anran has some courage and trusts Yang Jian enough.
Just because of Yang Jian's words, he actually completely obeyed the instructions of Ancestor Hongyun and was willing to use so many spells in one breath.
"I don't know if this boy and fellow Daoist Hongyun have a master-disciple relationship. Let me calculate it."
Zhen Yuanzi calculated with , but a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He could only calculate what happened before the prison god entered the Heavenly Prison, but he couldn't calculate what happened afterwards!
It was as if a thick fog obscured his fate, making everything chaotic and blurry.
"Another person who will be doomed?" Zhen Yuanzi looked a little solemn.
Since the creation of the world, Pangu has transformed himself into all things.
All living beings have joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, resentment, separation and grief, the turmoil of cause and effect, and the entanglement of worldly affairs, and the generation of karma is inevitable.
When the karma between heaven and earth reaches a certain level, there will be disasters in the mortal world, or what is commonly known as the catastrophe of heaven and earth, to consume this karma.
Among them, those who are most entangled in cause and effect are called "those who have committed the sins of the mortal world and are about to be punished by death", and are also called people who should be punished!
They usually have great fortune and great karma, their fate is unclear, and their every move will affect the direction of the catastrophe and will also promote the development of the catastrophe!
Even a saint can only see their past but not their future!
The more people who are affected by the calamity, the greater the calamity will be and the wider the scope will be!
"Golden Chanzi, Sun Wukong, Marshal Tianpeng, General Juanlian, Yang Jian, plus the Prison God, there are already six of them that I know of! I wonder what this catastrophe will turn out like in the end!"
Zhen Yuanzi thought of what Tathagata had said to him at the Ullambana Assembly.
The content is very beautiful, but I don’t know how successful these plans can be and whether they can cope with this catastrophe.
"I hope everything goes well!" Zhen Yuanzi thought of the devastation of previous disasters and prayed silently in his heart.
At the same time, Li Anran had also passed on all the magic spells he mastered to the Calabash Brothers.
And all this took less than half a day!
It’s really terrifying !
Li Anran was really convinced.
He even thought about teaching these Calabash Brothers the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang to see if they could learn it in an instant.
But considering that the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang were given to him by Yang Jian and he did not obtain them for free through criminals, he gave up the idea.
After all, the gourd brothers were born not long ago, and after learning so many things, they were a little tired and started yawning.
After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
The old man felt both distressed and relieved. Being able to learn from the gods was a great opportunity, and it was worth it even if it was a bit tiring!
The old man asked in a low voice: "Lord God, what should we do next?"
Li Anran said, "The snake demon and the scorpion demon will soon know that we have planted the treasure gourd seeds. They will definitely come to destroy the gourd before it matures. We should make some preparations early and not let them succeed."
The snake demon and the scorpion demon have magic mirrors in their hands, and they must have seen the situation here.
I just don't know how they feel?
