It has been raining lightly since the morning in Wukiao Ridge. The King of Black Crow Mountain was wearing a black robe and strolling along the mountain path of Wukiao Ridge. There was a flaming bird with red hair standing on his shoulder.
"Master, it's soon the season for picking ganoderma again. This batch of mature lingzhi all has medicinal power of three hundred years." The Flamingo stood on the shoulder of the Black Crow Mountain King and said excitedly.
Hearing this, the King of Black Crow Mountain said: "Ask them to keep all the Ganoderma lucidum that is less than 300 years old when they are gathering sesame. This Wuchiao Ridge is our home, and the elixirs and precious materials on Wuchiao Ridge are our family property." , don’t drain the lake to catch the fish.”
"Master, what is fishing in the lake?" Flamingo was a little confused.
The Black Crow Mountain King opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly his face darkened, and then he turned around and scolded the front mountain.
'buzz'
As the Black Crow Mountain King scolded, sound waves spread out in the air instantly.
'Bang' A crystal clear, shining fluorescent butterfly was suddenly shot down by the sound wave, and then turned into a girl in colorful clothes and fell to the ground.
This girl was Fairy Spirit Butterfly. The moment she landed, hundreds of monsters suddenly rushed out and surrounded her.
"Who dares to trespass into Wuqiao Ridge!"
"Go and report to the king quickly."
The little demons shouted, but Fairy Spirit Butterfly said: "Don't do anything, I'm just here to see the King of Black Crow Mountain."
"Shut up, who are you? Do you meet our king as soon as we meet him?" A little demon said viciously, holding an iron fork in both hands.
Fairy Spirit Butterfly nodded when she heard this and said: "That's right, then you should go and report it to the Black Crow Mountain King."
The little demon Tiecha glared at Fairy Lingdie, then turned around and said, "Hurry and report to the king that someone has broken into the mountain."
"The king has arrived!" At this moment, a blaze of fire flew down from the top of the mountain, and then the flaming bird appeared in the eyes of the little demons.
"It's the Fire Bird Messenger." The little demons stared at the Fire Bird and saluted respectfully.
Then a black mist appeared from the top of the Flaming Bird, and then the figure of the Black Crow Mountain King appeared in front of Fairy Spirit Butterfly.
"Greetings to the king!" When the little demons saw the Black Crow Mountain King, they immediately bowed down.
The Black Crow Mountain King's eyes fell on Fairy Spirit Butterfly, and he condensed slightly and said: "Are you the Yingyu Butterfly on the Ertou Mountain Ridge? What are you doing here on my Wuqiao Ridge?"
Fairy Spirit Butterfly bowed her hands and said, "Ling Die pays homage to Senior Black Crow."
The King of Black Crow Mountain is a monk in the realm of refining gods, so Fairy Lingdie will naturally treat him as a junior.
The King of Black Crow Mountain looked at Fairy Spirit Butterfly who was saluting him, and asked, "What's the matter with you coming to me?"
Fairy Lingdie smiled and said, "It's nothing. This junior is here under the orders of the Land God of Yangxia County."
"The Earth God of Yangxia County?" King Black Crow Mountain smiled, "If he doesn't live in his own temple eating offerings, why did he come to find you?"
Fairy Lingdie smiled and said softly: "I am also entrusted by the Earth God to send you an invitation to the Mountain King."
"Invitation?" King Black Crow Mountain frowned and said, "What invitation?"
Fairy Lingdie took out a gold foil letter from her sleeve, bowed and handed it to the Black Crow Mountain King: "The Mountain King will know it as soon as he sees it."
The King of Black Crow Mountain frowned and took the gold foil letter. He raised his finger and used magic power to open the letter. The King of Black Crow Mountain stared at it, and his face suddenly became startled, because there were only two simple lines written on it:
"Three days later, on a full moon night, I will invite all the kings to a meal at the top of the main peak of Lingxia Mountain. I will also have a treasure for all the kings to see, and please give me a favor, Fang Jian, the land god of Yangxia County." Below the text is a flashing light. The seal with the immortal light is exactly the seal of the official jade plate of the earth god.
King Black Crow Mountain understood after reading it, and asked Fairy Lingdie: "This land god wants to invite the monsters from Yangxia County to Lingxia Mountain for a banquet? There is also a treasure? What treasure is it?"
Fairy Spirit Butterfly smiled and said: "That is such a good baby. I have already seen it, and I believe that I will never disappoint you."
The King of Black Crow Mountain looked directly at Fairy Spirit Butterfly, who also smiled in response.
He guessed in his mind that this might be a Hongmen Banquet. What good treasure could an earth god have? But then I thought about it and it was impossible. I had never offended the land god, nor had I committed anything. There was no need to use these methods on myself.
And this land god obviously invited all the monsters in Yangxia County, so it couldn’t be a Hongmen Banquet.
Besides, the Earth God's little deeds were not enough in front of him, and he was completely fearless in his heart.
"Okay." The King of Black Crow Mountain closed the gold-leaf letter, and then said to Fairy Lingdie: "Since it is the invitation from the land god, I will definitely go to Lingxia Mountain in three days."
Hearing this, Fairy Lingdie immediately smiled and said: "Senior is willing to show me favor, the land god will definitely be very happy."
"That..." After Fairy Spirit Butterfly finished speaking, her eyes fell on the invitation in the hands of Black Crow Mountain King: "Senior, have you read the contents?"
The King of Black Crow Mountain was startled and asked doubtfully: "Is there any other content?" After speaking, he opened the letter and took a look.
Fairy Spirit Butterfly touched her tender pink nose, and then said with some confusion: "If senior has finished reading, can you return this invitation to junior? Junior will also send it to other fellow Taoists."
"..." The Black Crow Mountain King had a dull look on his face, and after a while he said in surprise: "Did the Earth God only prepare this invitation? Do you have to take it back after sending it?"
"Yes...haha!" Fairy Spirit Butterfly had an innocent smile on her face.
"..." The King of Black Crow Mountain was overwhelmed by such stingy behavior and had no choice but to stiffly send the invitation back.
Fairy Lingdie took the invitation and immediately clasped her fists and bowed: "Thank you for your understanding, senior. I have to go elsewhere to deliver the letter, so I won't disturb senior. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Fairy Spirit Butterfly transformed back into her true form, fluttering her crystal-clear jade wings and left Wuqiao Ridge.
"Your Majesty, Fairy Spirit Butterfly has left." Flamingo looked at the Black Crow Mountain King who was still standing there blankly and said.
"Alas!" The King of Black Crow Mountain sighed and ordered: "Ask them to pick some ginseng antler in the mountain, and I will take it to Lingxia Mountain in three days."
The reason why the Black Crow Mountain King did this was not because he wanted to share the resources on Wuchiao Ridge, but because he wanted to save face for the poor land god in three days.
Otherwise, if they say they are inviting everyone to a meal and all the monsters arrive and find that there are only leftovers, then the land god will be embarrassed, so he should just make a good relationship.
...
Just when Fairy Lingdie was sending invitations to Yangxia County, Zhou Qinghan also returned to Qingping Mountain Earth Temple Jingshe from Yangxia County.
"I've brought you everything you asked for. Take out your storage bag." As soon as Zhou Qinghan entered the monastery, he said to Fang Jian in front of him.
Fang Jian didn't have a storage bag. The only storage bag he had was the one from King Yintu Mountain.
At this time, I just used my magic power to break it open. Fortunately, the Yintu Mountain King was already dead, so the restriction left on the storage bag was not strong.
"You sit down first and wait for me." Fang Jian said to Zhou Han, then turned the Yintu Mountain King's storage bag upside down and poured out all the contents.
There was a "crash" sound, and then a bunch of miscellaneous things were poured out of the storage bag.
The largest number of them were weapons, including swords, guns, swords, halberds and hammers, followed by some gold and silver, and more than a dozen bags of grain.
Just as Fang Jian frowned and stared at these useless things to him, suddenly a flash of lightning flashed from the mouth of the storage bag, lighting up the entire monastery in an instant.
"Huh?" This flash of lightning immediately attracted Zhou Qinghan's attention, and Fang Jian looked happy. He finally had a treasure. If it were all mortal objects, he would be at a big loss.
Fang Jian stretched out his hand to grab it, and a strong wind blew by, and he instantly caught the thing that emitted electric light in his hand.
'Zila' 'Zila'
Even if he held this object in his hand, it continued to emit weak bolts of lightning, making Fang Jian feel numb.
"What is this?" Fang Jian asked curiously, looking at the branch-like thing with purple electric light in his hand.
Zhou Qinghan came over and stared at it for a long time. He frowned at first, but after less than ten breaths, his eyes suddenly lit up: "This is the broken branch of the Zichen Thunder Spirit Treasure Tree!"
"Oh? Zichen Thunder Spirit Treasure Tree? What is that?" Fang Jian asked hurriedly.
Zhou Qinghan explained: "I have read in the books on Guanzhong that when the heaven and earth first opened, many innate treasure trees were born in the world. For example, the bodhi tree, ginseng fruit, peach tree, etc. are all innate treasure trees. .The 'Purple Chen Thunder Spirit Treasure Tree' is also a type of innate treasure tree. It is said that a total of '36 trees' were born, of which eighteen were broken by the collision of the energy of heaven and earth and turned into residual branches of the Purple Chen Thunder Spirit. Falling into the world. Nine of the other eighteen were taken away by the innate god and their whereabouts are unknown. The remaining nine were taken by a Taoist, and finally they picked the Tao fruit of the Heavenly Thunder."
"Who is this person?" Fang Jian asked, but as soon as he said these words, an idea flashed in his mind, "Could it be the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Universal Transformation Tianzun?"
"Exactly!" Zhou Qinghan nodded and said: "According to the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Universalization Heavenly Lord, there is no complete Zichen Leiling Treasure Tree in this world, only the broken branches of Zichen Leiling have fallen everywhere in the world. . If a monk obtains this broken branch and uses it to practice the Heavenly Thunder Technique or refine thunder magic treasures, this will be the most powerful thunder treasure material."
After Fang Jian heard this, he was extremely happy, "It is indeed a good treasure! It won't be a loss this time."
Zhou Qinghan was also happy for Fang Jian and immediately said: "The land god has obtained such a good treasure again, so the matter of the hundred-year-old ginseng has been revealed."
"..." Fang Jian glanced at Zhou Qinghan and said, "You gave up this good idea. You obviously ate all the spiritual ginseng you gave me!"
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Don't be so stingy, Earth God. From now on, I will definitely set up a god for you and worship you day and night. Is that okay?" Zhou Qinghan said with a smile.
Fang Jian nodded and said: "That's pretty much it. Okay, put the things you brought back into this storage bag."
Zhou Qinghan responded, then raised his hand. Zhou Qinghan's storage bag immediately flew up. The next moment, piles of yellow and white objects flew out of Zhou Qinghan's storage bag and landed on the ground. It went into the storage bag in Jian's hand.
These yellow and white things are the silver taels obtained by the county magistrate Gou De'an and the master Tanmo, totaling more than 100,000 taels.
"Well, with this money, I can do a big thing for the people of Yangxia County." Fang Jian said with a smile on his face, holding a heavy storage bag filled with silver.
Zhou Qinghan stood up and said with a smile: "Then I won't disturb the Earth God from doing important things. I'll take my leave now."
Fang Jian asked: "I'm going to have a banquet for the demons in three days, will you come?"
"I'm not coming. I've lost a lot of my work during this period, and I need to repair it seriously. Besides, your Hongmen Banquet is not interesting. It's over as soon as the bricks are slapped. It's better to watch a show." Zhou Qinghan said After finishing, he bowed his hands towards Fang Jian, then turned around and flew out of the monastery, turning into a breeze and heading all the way back to Peach Blossom Mountain.
