"Yes, that's true. I also think it's weird." As soon as Gu Sang's words finished, they heard a "meow" scream from Xiao Bai's side. They were startled and turned around to check.
It turned out that Xiaobai pounced on the flying swallowtail butterfly, but was surrounded by three or five wild bees, who in turn chased it.
"Hey, little stupid cat, you know how to cause trouble for me." Guan Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this time. He hurriedly walked over and chased away the wild bees: "Go away, go away!"
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz" Those wild bees were slapped by his big slap, and they were frightened and fled in all directions. Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, ran to Guan Heng's feet and rubbed them twice. Down.
"Something's wrong. Look quickly."
The cry of the ancient mulberry girl suddenly sounded. Guan Heng, White Cat, and Yingbaigui noticed that the wind was rising sharply around the flower garden. Amidst the rapid "wuwuwu" sound, large numbers of flying bees and insects turned into a jet-black stream, Like a python turning over, it surrounded everyone in the middle.
"What, what's going on?" Gu Sangnu said with a mournful face: "Guan Heng, could it be that you offended the wild bees just now by chasing them away, and now you have sent your companions to take revenge?"
"Nonsense, you should first feel the surrounding environment before making a conclusion." Guan Heng said solemnly at this moment: "These 'bee insects' are not normal creatures at all, but are formed by the gathering of wood spiritual energy!"
"Huh? From what you said, it seems to be true." Gu Sangnu felt it carefully at this time, and suddenly found that the "buzzing" sound of bees and insects flying opposite was extremely unnatural. It turned out to be the sound of surging spiritual energy.
"Although I don't know what is going on in this room, I am sure that these flying insects are the gathering of spiritual energy. Not only them, but also all the scenes of these strange flowers and plants are derived from spiritual energy."
As soon as Guan Heng said these words, he suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Who is playing tricks here? Stop it!"
"Bang!" At the same time, he suddenly took a step forward, causing dust on the ground to fly, leaving deep footprints, and the power of blazing raw fire suddenly appeared all over his body.
Wood spirit energy likes water and is afraid of fire. This is natural common sense, so Guan Heng instantly released the original fire energy. The bees, insects, flowers and plants around him where wood spirit energy gathered trembled, and then disappeared in an instant.
"Who...are you?" A sudden voice suddenly sounded from above the room: "Since you are carrying the Jumang Sword, you should be the messenger of the Wood God. Why can you still use the fire spirit?"
"Not only the power of the original fire, Guan Heng can use many tricks." After Gu Sangnu heard this voice, she raised her voice and shouted: "Hey, who are you?"
"If you want to know who I am, you must first answer the first question, who are you?"
"Hehehe, I, speaking of it, have something to do with the Five Elements Gods such as Lingshou, Jumang, Xuanming, Zhurong and Houtu." Guan Heng chuckled at this time and said: "Can you understand this explanation? "
The voice obviously didn't believe this: "Hmph, you're bragging. What a noble person the Five Elements God is, how could he be related to a nobody like you? You're lying!"
"Hahahaha——" Guan Heng burst into laughter: "Don't you believe it? Well, facts speak louder than words, so I'll make an exception and let you see it. It was fire spirit energy just now... now..."
"Huh——" It was too late to say, but then it was fast, the wind surged, and two blue haloes suddenly appeared in Guan Heng's palms, "swish - bang bang!" The spiritual energy balls collided and shattered in the air, and fell down. Countless crystal water drops.
At this moment, Gu Sangnu stretched out her hand to catch it, rubbed it and then said with a smile: "Hehehe, it's so comfortable, it's water aura."
"Then there is the wood spiritual energy..." Guan Heng raised his arm suddenly, and the spiritual energy scattered around the room suddenly gathered on top of his head. Guan Heng then said to Gu Sangnu: "Get a small spiritual root and use it."
"I'm happy to oblige." As soon as she finished her words, a spiritual root about an inch long grew on the spot with her hand. Guan Heng suddenly input the spiritual energy above his head into the spiritual root, and "swish, swish" was heard in the wind. From there, the thing suddenly grew into a huge shape that was more than several feet tall.
Gu Sangnu raised her voice and shouted: "Hey, do you see? Only the purest wood spiritual energy can promote the rapid growth of spiritual roots."
"The breath of the earth god shapes the life of all things on the earth and gives it continuation."
Guan Heng raised his left hand slightly at this moment, and an earthy aura suddenly appeared around him, whirring rapidly in place, and then a clay doll more than a foot tall appeared. This thing was pacing back and forth on the spot, and it was actually like a living thing. There is no difference.
"It's fun, Guan Heng, you have never performed this move in front of me before." Hearing Gu Sangnu's words, Guan Heng smiled softly: "Haha, that's because I was fighting after the decisive battle with the Evil King of Ten Thousand Nights. , and understand a deeper level of the power of the five elements to achieve this."
"What is missing in the end?" She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then immediately shouted: "It's golden spiritual energy!"
"Yes, that's it."
A ball of spiritual energy shining with light gold suddenly appeared in Guan Heng's palm. He threw it casually and flew into the air with a cry, "Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang --" This aura turned into dozens of tiny spheres, They collided with each other and made a clanging sound, which was extremely harsh.
"Yes, this must be golden spirit energy." The voice that sounded in the air suddenly said: "It seems that I misunderstood you, sir. If you want to see me, please go through the small side door not far ahead and you will see me." Down below."
"Okay, Gu Sangnu, let's go." Guan Heng led them to the inside of the small door, and sure enough they saw a huge light curtain, with a vague appearance of a tall figure inside.
"You are..." Guan Henggang was about to take another step forward, but the other party suddenly stopped him and said: "Please wait a moment, don't go any further. There is a very powerful illusion formation inside this light curtain. If you enter rashly, You will be trapped here just like me."
"What?! Illusion formation?" Gu Sangnu looked a little dumbfounded. She couldn't help but ask, "How could such a thing appear here?"
"Meow...meow..." As soon as she finished her words, Xiaobai suddenly rushed past Guan Heng and slipped into the light curtain in front of him.
"Danger, you..." Seeing this scene, Guan Heng felt anxious, but it was too late to stop him with words.
"Eh?! Why did this little guy run in?" The figure in the light curtain bent down to pick up Xiaobai, and then walked to the front. Only then did Guan Heng and Gu Sangnu see each other's appearance clearly. It turned out to be a man with a pale face and A tall middle-aged man.
"Meow." Xiaobai huddled up in the middle-aged man's arms and muttered with slightly narrowed eyes, looking particularly comfortable.
The middle-aged man gently stroked Xiaobai's fur and whispered: "Hehehe, I haven't seen a real living being in countless years."
"Oh, Xiaobai, you are so reckless. It will be difficult to come up with it this time."
Guan Heng couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the white cat, and then he clasped his fists at the middle-aged man through the light screen and said, "I'm here next to Guan Heng. This is Gu Sang Nu. I haven't asked you for your title yet. I wonder if you can tell me?"
"It turns out to be Brother Guan, just call me...'Mu Lingzi'." The middle-aged man smiled, and then said with a little loneliness in his eyes: "This is the name given to me by Lord Jumang a long time ago. , but no one asked about it for so long that I almost forgot about it.”
"Hey, Uncle Mu Lingzi, are you also the incarnation of the wood spirit?" Gu Sangnu said openly: "I can't feel it clearly because of the light curtain here, but there is a very friendly atmosphere about the uncle."
"Hahaha, are you a mulberry tree spirit?" Mu Lingzi smiled and said: "Yes, strictly speaking, I am not a complete wood spirit, just a wisp of the wood spirit's remnant soul left here."
"Uncle, why are you trapped here?" Hearing Gu Sangnu's question, Mu Lingzi was about to continue talking when Guan Heng suddenly said: "Brother Mu Ling, is it really impossible for you to enter and exit the illusionary formation normally? Even if you hold it with your hand I can’t do Jumangjian either?”
"This... I'm actually not sure." Mu Lingzi replied in a low voice: "But I can't let you take this risk and come in casually. If you two are trapped, wouldn't it be my fault?"
After hearing this, Gu Sangnu realized that Mu Lingzi was doing it for her own good, so she stopped them from entering the illusion array light curtain, and she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.
Excited, she shook the spiritual branch in her hand and said, "Uncle, just wait, Guan Heng will definitely have a way to rescue you."
"Hey, the thing in your hand is..." When Mu Lingzi saw the thing in her hand, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes. Gu Sangnu immediately replied: "This is the fragment of the spiritual tree in the Mu God's ruined palace. The gathered branches, uncle, have you seen them?"
"This... is more than just something I have seen before..." Mu Lingzi couldn't help but murmured to himself: "We are still old acquaintances, but it's not bad if this thing falls into your hands. Just remember to keep it well. ”
Seeing the difference in the other party's expression, Guan Heng originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but he thought it was inappropriate, so he changed the subject and said: "Well, let's go inside the light curtain first before talking about other things, because through this thing , I always feel a little awkward.”
"Brother Guan, no, it's too risky..." Mu Lingzi reminded kindly again, trying to stop the other party from acting recklessly, but at this moment, Xiaobai, who had been sleeping in his arms just now, suddenly jumped to the ground. , and once again slipped out of the light curtain.
Seeing this scene, Mu Lingzi and Guan Heng were both stunned and said: "It's so strange, how can it come in and out freely?!"
"Meow, meow." At this moment, Xiaobai, who had passed through the light screen, strolled to Guan Heng's feet and wagged his tail triumphantly, as if to say, look, you don't dare to try it rashly. This lady did it easily.
"Could it be said that this illusion formation has failed?" The middle-aged man was confused, and suddenly touched the light screen in front of him, "Pop!" His hand was immediately bounced high, and the person "soared, soared, soared" "I took several steps back.
"It seems that I still can't get out of here, alas..." Mu Lingzi sighed and his expression became gloomy, but Guan Heng shook his head and said: "Why are you so pessimistic? Since Xiaobai can come in and out freely, then we must have something to do. Come on, let’s go in first and then talk about it.”
Having said this, Guan Heng waved his hand to Yingbaigui and said, "Just in case, you wait here first, and Gu Sangnu, Xiaobai, I, and I can go in." Then, the three of them left without hesitation. Entered within the light curtain.
Mu Lingzi stamped his feet anxiously when he saw this: "I say, everyone, why are you doing this?"
"Hahaha, I just have the habit of pursuing the truth." Guan Heng laughed, and then said: "You don't have to worry about it. We have experienced a lot of more dangerous experiences than this one, and we haven't saved the day yet. ?"
At the same time, Gu Sangnu quickly walked up to Mu Lingzi.
"It's really strange. Why do I feel so familiar and cordial when I approach uncle?" Gu Sangnu looked Mu Lingzi up and down at this moment. Although she seemed a little rude, her tone was innocent and innocent. People can't get angry.
"Hehehe, actually, I have never left here since I found out about the personnel, so, little Sangnu, we have never met."
Hearing Mu Lingzi's explanation, Gu Sangnu's face showed a bit of disappointment: "Really? That's such a pity. It would have been better if I could have known Uncle Mu Ling earlier."
At this moment, Guan Heng suddenly said: "It's weird, I also think Brother Mu Ling is kind-hearted, but I can't remember where I saw him..."
"Is there such a thing?" Mu Lingzi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Guan Heng's words were serious.
Suddenly, Guan Heng clapped his hands and shouted: "I remembered, that was when I was in the spirit world. I once went to the Palace of the Five Elements Gods and saw the afterimages they left behind on the stone platform. Your appearance, and... …It’s somewhat similar to the Wood God Jumang!”
"What? Have you been to the spirit world?" Mu Lingzi was shocked when he heard this. He immediately grabbed Guan Heng's hand and asked, "Where is Master Mu Shen?"
"Brother Mu Ling, you are too excited, please let go of your hand first." Guan Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then the other party let go of his hand with an embarrassed look.
"Sorry, Brother Guan, I was too impatient."
"It doesn't matter. In fact, I have searched for the whereabouts of the Five Elements Gods everywhere in the spirit world. However, according to the spirit king of the spirit world, they have disappeared for a long time, so it is difficult to find out."
Guan Heng's statement was quite tactful. Mu Lingzi looked very disappointed after hearing this. He muttered: "Could it be that Master Goumang really can't come back..."
"Oh, it turns out that Uncle Mu Lingzi looks very similar to my benefactor. No wonder I feel very close to him." Gu Sangnu said from the side: "Uncle, don't be too sad. I have been traveling with Guan Heng. I look for my great benefactor everywhere, and I believe I will find him one day.”
"My great benefactor?!" Mu Lingzi looked at the other person and asked casually: "You are talking about Master Mu Shen Jumang, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Gu Sangnu nodded, and then told her life experience briefly and concisely. She then said: "Uncle, you haven't said yet, why are you trapped here?"
"Alas, actually this is also because of Master Jumang. He... originally had good intentions."
At this point, Mu Lingzi paused for a moment, and then continued: "Everything starts from the time when there were twelve ancient spiritual trees between heaven and earth..."
It turned out that the wood spirit of the first ancient spiritual tree was seriously injured in order to protect Jumang, causing its body to burst, and the fragments flew everywhere in the Wood God Abandoned Palace, which is the Mu Ancestral Temple.
