Chapter 297 The Book of Earth and the Earth Fetus are born!
In the world of Journey to the West, if you eat one of the Grass-Returning Pills, you can live a long life. But this is the primitive world, so it is definitely not as simple as just living a long life.
The twelve fruits, emitting human vibrations, were genuine precious spiritual roots, and the Yuan Realm ancestor Chen Zhu roughly counted them and found that there were no less than twenty within his sight.
The fruit was still in the process of germination, and everyone looked at each other in silence.
Treasures like this are hard to come by, they saw it, but how to get it?
There are only twelve fruits, how to divide them?
This made the ancestors look at each other, and suddenly, the Shenxun ancestor said:
"I am the first one to discover the opportunity here. There should be one. What do you think?"
He was the first to discover it?
After hearing this, everyone thought for a moment and nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Shenxun was the first to discover it. You have the best affinity with this treasure, so you will naturally get one."
Ancestor Hongyun spoke softly, which was considered to be a characterization of Taoist Fellow Shenxun.
"Thank you, fellow Taoists."
After Ancestor Shenxun bowed to Ancestor Hongyun to express his gratitude, he bowed to everyone around him to express his gratitude.
At this time, the old ancestor Muhua came out and said:
"I am the second person to discover this. Should I have one too?"
"This is inappropriate!"
However, as soon as Patriarch Mu Hua finished speaking, he was interrupted by Patriarch Mu Xing.
"If we have to sort by first come, first served, then do we not even have the chance to hope?"
"Everyone has come here for a reason. We accept that Fellow Daoist Shenxun took the first one, but we won't allow the second one."
"Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you have some selfish motives in what you said!"
Mu Hua Patriarch's eyes turned cold: "We in Wuhua Mountain will advance and retreat together, fellow Taoist, please don't make mistakes."
"Haha, how can you, Wuhua Mountain, scare me? Ask the Taoist friends around you if they agree with you?"
Patriarch Muhua looked around and found that everyone was indeed dissatisfied.
OK, OK, OK, Master Mu Xing, I, Mu Hua, have taken note of this matter and will have to do it again in the future!
He looked around and said, "I came here with Patriarch Tuhua. Wuhua Mountain only needs one. What do you think?"
The Wuhua Immortals of Wuhua Mountain are of the same blood, so it is not too much to ask for this one.
So everyone nodded in agreement.
Mu Xing Patriarch's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the other party hated him, but he was not someone to be trifled with.
He said to Patriarch Xinhui:
"Daoist Xinhui is both virtuous and has worked tirelessly to give us advice. Does he deserve one?"
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Xinhui was delighted. He was still thinking about how to start the conversation, and fellow Taoist Mu Xing spoke for him.
He turned around and gave a grateful smile, and the Wood Element Patriarch whispered:
"Fellow Daoist, let's talk after the time comes."
Xinhui subconsciously looked at Patriarch Muhua again. She had already guessed something in her heart, but Patriarch Muxing had indeed helped her a lot.
He nodded in agreement, only feeling that it was difficult to be free in this world, and that only wisdom could lead one to a bright future.
After the three Grass-Returning Pills were distributed, only nine were left. Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little hesitant.
"Ancestor Hongyun, please say something."
Chen Zhu lowered his voice and said:
"You didn't come here to see them get their chance, did you?"
"I am Fukuzawa Shinshin."
Hong Yun smiled: "There aren't many fruits on this innate spiritual root. I'll let it go to benefit fellow Taoists. Why not?"
This is really... a brain bubble!
Chen Zhu was speechless, knowing that this person was willing, but his heart moved, and he said to Hong Yun:
"Didn't the ancestor say that he wanted to help the earth embryo underground? I think only the roots of this tree can penetrate into the earth's qi. We might as well take this opportunity to spread the word so that everyone won't fight over this spiritual root tree later."
When Chen Zhu started to speak, Old Ancestor Hongyun looked down at the ground, his heart suddenly beating wildly.
His eyes flashed, and he knew that this matter might be just as Chen Zhu said, and he vaguely felt in his heart that this was his opportunity.
So he opened his mouth and said to everyone:
"Everyone..."
The Yuan Realm ancestors looked over here, and when they realized it was the Hongyun Ancestor, they sighed in their hearts.
Ancestor Hongyun has always blessed all living beings and given without asking for anything in return. If he wants to take one, his virtue is worthy of it.
Patriarch Jin Xing smiled and said, "Daoyou Hongyun deserves one. I think everyone will not object, right?"
He was indeed quite popular, and although everyone was reluctant to let him go, there was no hostility towards him.
"Hongyun would like to thank all the fellow Taoists here, but Hongyun cannot take advantage of this for nothing."
He cupped his hands and said, "I think the roots of this sacred tree have the ability to drill into the earth's qi. Maybe we can see what the earth's embryo is like."
"How about, after everyone has divided the fruit, I want this spiritual root?"
This is not taking advantage. Normally, the essence of the spiritual root is all in the fruit. Once the fruit is picked, the spiritual root will wither.
Even if one wants to cultivate it, the cost will be much greater than that of a fruit. When Hongyun said this, everyone was surprised and happy. This way, they had one more chance.
"I agree. Fellow Daoist Hongyun is kind and benevolent. I, Jiehong, will accept a favor from you."
Ancestor Jiehong immediately said:
"In that case, I, Jie Hong, would like to recommend myself once. Everyone, give me a fruit. I owe you a favor. You can ask me for help with anything in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt moved. This was equivalent to having Jiehong's help once more, so it was also good.
So, Jiehong also got one.
The four Grass Pills already had owners, so the remaining gods spoke up in unison, one after another.
However, since everyone came here, it was obvious that their foundations were similar, and in the end they argued fiercely.
"Ancestor Ming Zhou, don't take advantage of your power to bully others. If you have the guts, come and fight me!"
Patriarch Bai Yuan roared angrily, he was really furious.
The Ming Zhou Patriarch was no pushover either, and he responded immediately: "Then you and I will join forces to take one, and then we'll see who is more powerful, and whoever gets to take the ownership of the fruit!"
"Afraid of you? That's what I should do!"
As they fought for each one of them, everyone's faces looked unhappy. When it came to the last one, they even had the urge to fight right there!
However, at this moment, the fruit was ripe.
There were three words written in Taoist script on the fruit: [Cao Huan Dan], which completely confirmed Chen Zhu's idea.
A great god reached out to take it. Of course, it did not fall when it met gold or melt when it met water as recorded in later generations. Instead, it was held in everyone's hands.
Finally, there was only one left on the tree.
Chen Zhu was delighted, fearing that a fight was about to break out.
However, to everyone's surprise, a strong wind blew, causing the willow catkins and the earth's qi to roll. When everyone opened their eyes again, they found that the Cao Huandan was gone.
"who is it!"
The Yuan Realm ancestors roared and looked around, but found nothing.
It was too fast, less than one ten-millionth of a blink of an eye, and the Cao Huan Dan disappeared directly.
"That's weird, who did that?"
Ancestor Hongyun's eyes widened, "Is there something that we can't even see?"
They searched around and only felt that the Dao rules were in chaos, but they did not realize which Dao rule was responsible for the chaos.
Chen Zhu knew it. His face was filled with surprise and doubt. He did not expect this person to appear here. Did he come here on his own, or did the innate gods already know about it?
He was extremely familiar with this aura; it was done by the innate god.
Moreover, it was done by an innate god whose authority was basically intact, otherwise he would not be able to restrain all the fluctuations of his own Tao.
What made Chen Zhu helpless was that he, a great god, actually attacked and stole the fruit by surprise, which was really embarrassing.
……
……
At this time, on Mount Buzhou, the great god Kunpeng looked at the Cao Huandan in his hand. This fruit, which looked like a little man, exuded extremely pure magic power.
If a mortal spirit swallows it, it may be able to directly enter the realm of earthly immortal.
And if a being stuck in the Earthly Immortal realm swallows it, it will be enough to directly break into the Heavenly Immortal realm.
He took this fruit because he was stuck in the realm of earthly immortals and was about to enter the realm of celestial immortals.
The immortal path has the saying "Go against the flow and you will become an immortal", which means there are infinite possibilities. The great gods must practice both the god and immortal realms no matter what.
"Daoyou, how do you know I need this?"
Great God Kunpeng looked to one side, where Great God Hongjun was placing pieces on the chessboard.
Hearing this, Hongjun smiled calmly without explaining.
"I won't harm you, so why do you have to get to the bottom of this, fellow Taoist?"
He waved his hand and said, "You are already stuck in the Half-Step Wuji Realm. Once you break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, you will soon understand the wonders of the Celestial Immortal Realm. By then, entering the Wuji Realm will be a foregone conclusion. What are you still doing here?"
The great god Kunpeng stared at Hongjun carefully for a few times, and finally turned away: "I owe you a favor."
Watching the great god Kunpeng leave, Hongjun gently moved the chessboard and sighed slightly.
"Father God, my game with you has already begun. Although the victory is unfair, Father God, I'm afraid you will lose this time."
Although the game has just begun, we can already see the future.
Outside Mount Buzhou, in the earth's qi, the Cao Huandan that had picked all the fruits was withering.
The leaves were falling, the trunks were withering, and some Yuanjing ancestors were ready to fight. But they were restraining themselves, just to see what the Red Cloud Ancestor could do.
At this moment, the Red Cloud Ancestor shouted loudly and turned into a red cloud and squeezed into the gap of the willow catkin-like yellow earth qi.
He held onto the tree roots and drilled down, breaking through the solid earth energy!
"Daoyou, danger!"
Patriarch Xinhui was so frightened that he cried out: "If you make the slightest mistake, you will die!"
He didn't expect it to be this way. Once the earth's energy changed, Old Ancestor Hongyun would be crushed in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
"It doesn't matter!"
Hongyun shuttled through the earth's qi, ran down holding the gradually withering Cao Huandan, and finally saw what was in the earth's body.
It was actually a figure sitting cross-legged.
The two looked at each other, both were surprised.
But soon, the figure's face lit up with joy, and he begged loudly:
"Fellow Taoist, help me!"
"it is good!"
Hong Yun gritted his teeth and tried his best to use the roots of the Cao Huandan tree to pierce into the earth!
In an instant, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and endless earth energy exploded, causing all the immortals and gods to flee in fear!
"Go! You're going to be crushed to death!"
"Don't stop, the earth's qi is raging, whoever comes will die!"
"Has Fellow Daoist Hongyun left? Hurry up and leave!"
"Let's put aside our grudges and run away!"
In the chaos, Hong Yun went down, and no one paid any attention to Chen Zhu and Tao Hou.
"md!"
Chen Zhu's face turned dark, and he was about to use the green lotus leaves to protect himself and Taohou, but for some reason his heart trembled.
He stopped temporarily and pulled Taohou to escape here.
"Brother, I'm dying!"
Taohou was in a panic but did not reveal himself. Instead, he said anxiously:
"Let me see if I can eat this."
"Eat your ass, do you think you are your ancestor?"
Chen Zhu's eyes drifted in the turbid yellow earth energy, searching vaguely, and sure enough, he found a pair of eyes staring at him.
A burst of earth energy attacked him, and Chen Zhu knew that if he did not resist, he would probably be suppressed.
By then, I'm afraid that only the true body of the demon god transformed by the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts will be able to bear it.
But he did not expose himself. Instead, he grabbed Taohou behind him and manifested the coffin's true form to resist!
Finally, a ray of wisdom came and swept them away.
When they looked up, they saw the Great God Xinhui looking down at them:
"My two little Taoist friends are frightened. You were brought here by Taoist Hongyun. I, Xinhui, will not let anything happen to you two."
"Thank you, ancestor!"
Chen Zhu hurriedly got up and noticed that the turmoil of the earth's energy beneath his feet was becoming more and more terrifying.
"Don't thank me yet. Why are there dragon scales buried in your coffin?"
Ancestor Xinhui was wary of Chen Zhu and had murderous intentions:
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun has always been kind-hearted and would not doubt others, but I am not like that."
"You escaped from the dragon clan. It's hard for me to believe that you won't have any problems."
Xinhui's eyes seemed to be able to see through their hearts.
Facing these eyes, Taohou could no longer speak, as he was suppressed by the Dao.
Chen Zhu sneered in his heart, the old fox, he is really good at playing tricks.
The huge explosion of earth energy under his feet frightened him so much that he trembled all over.
"Ancestor Xinhui, to be honest, my brother Taohou and I are actually planning a treasure!"
When the enemy discovers the truth, the real truth is actually hidden behind it.
Chen Zhu opened his head and found a dragon scale inside his body.
"I was originally a coffin made by the great god Taichen, for the purpose of offering sacrifice to the god's reverse scale. Therefore, I am in a relatively important position."
"But they don't know that I have been secretly communicating with the dragons, but I have never been exposed."
"By chance, I learned that there was a clay sculpture in the Dragon Clan, enjoying the incense of all spirits, and there were actually many innate gods' auras and laws spreading inside it, so I came up with the idea of planning..."
Chen Zhu told a lie that amazed even Taohou, without blinking or changing his expression:
"Later, I was discovered by the dragon clan and had no choice but to flee. Taohou and I also knew each other indirectly."
"He was originally protected by the God of Sacrifice. Now that the God of Sacrifice is dead, he has been targeted and abused. His cultivation is still stagnant at the fifth metamorphosis. You can take a look at him to see if his Dao has not been broken through for a long time."
"Taohou would come to the remains of the sacrificial god to cry whenever he was bullied. That was when we met. We decided to go all out and secretly steal the clay sculpture, but we were discovered."
Patriarch Xinhui was half-believing and half-doubting Chen Zhu's words, but he still remained vigilant.
"So you happened to meet Daoist Fellow Hongyun again?"
"Do not."
Chen Zhu shook his head: "Actually, our target is you."
"I?"
The expression of Patriarch Xinhui became blurred in the earth's Qi. A burst of earth's Qi attacked them, and they rose up again along with the light of wisdom.
"Then you are really brave. Knowing that I have a grudge against those innate gods of the dragon clan, you want to use me to help you achieve your goal?"
The great god Xinhui was not angry. Just as Chen Zhu said, he had a grudge against the dragon clan and other innate gods.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. On the contrary, he likes Chen Zhu and Tao Hou very much.
This is what I said, but it cannot be fully confirmed at present.
"In that case, what do you think?"
Xinhui looked at Chen Zhu and knew that he was the one in charge here.
Chen Zhu clenched his palms and said with a wretched smile: "Ancestor, I have a plan...
……
In the earth's Qi, the rolling yellow Qi was raging, and Ancestor Hongyun was supposed to be crushed to death.
However, at this moment, he found himself safe and sound, and was instead sheltered in an eggshell.
"Fellow Daoist, have you come back to your senses?"
It turned out to be the Taoist in the earth's qi and earth's embryo, who looked middle-aged. Not only him, but also the spiritual root of the grass elixir was here.
The violent earth energy could not enter the placenta, and the Taoist was moving with them.
After finally leaving the earth's Qi, the Taoist finally had time to breathe a sigh of relief and bow sincerely to Hongyun!
"Thank you for helping me, Zhen Yuanzi is very grateful!"
"Fellow Taoist, get up quickly!"
Taoist Hongyun hurried over to help him up: "I only tried my best. If you hadn't saved me, I would have been crushed to death by the earth's qi."
Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi was extremely moved: "What a humble power you mentioned, Daoist friend. I narrowly escaped death in this earthly Qi, and this is still humble. There is no friendship in the world that is greater than humble."
He looked at Hong Yun and said seriously:
"Fellow Daoist, if you save me today, I, Zhen Yuanzi, will go through fire and water for you in the future!"
He also bowed to the grass next to him:
“You are a spiritual root, and you have saved Zhen Yuanzi’s life. In the future, Zhen Yuanzi will take care of it day and night to help the En Tree recover its vitality!”
Zhen Yuanzi was so loyal and righteous that even Patriarch Hongyun was moved.
"Fellow Daoist, why were you born in the earth's womb but unable to come out?"
When Zhen Yuanzi said this, his face turned red:
"I was born a divine being bred in the earth's qi, but the earth's qi is too thick and I have been unable to get out. If it weren't for you risking your life to help me today, Zhen Yuanzi would have found it difficult to escape."
This is a bit embarrassing. If you tell others about it, the gods and immortals will laugh their heads off.
Hongyun understood and said that he would keep it a secret.
The earth's Qi is so boiling, I don't know whether Xinhui and the other fellow Taoists have escaped.
I don't know about the two little Taoist friends who came with me...
"Oh no! That's terrible!"
Hong Yun slapped his head fiercely:
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, please quickly let go of this Earth Fetus. I still have two friends who haven't escaped yet!"
It was he who brought the two friends here to seek opportunities. If the two friends die in there, Hongyun will regret it for the rest of his life!
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi also let go of the Earth Fetus, and the two went to search together.
During this process, the earth's crust slowly surged and turned into a thick, yellowish book.
【Book from the Ground】!
His companion spiritual treasure, Zhen Yuanzi, can command the veins of the earth in the ancient world!
He only breathed a sigh of relief when he found Chen Zhu and Taohou.
"Little Taoist friend, it's great that you are still alive!"
He thanked Patriarch Xinhui: "Thank you for your care, I appreciate it very much!"
At the same time, he blamed himself: "Blame me, I will definitely repay you two little Taoist friends!"
