The Tianqing boat galloped all the way to the Silo Bamboo Sea in the eastern region of Hancang Kingdom.
This is an endless sea of bamboo, and the air is stained with the fragrance of Xiangfei bamboo.
Siluo Bamboo Sea extends for four million miles. These four million miles of land are all the land where the Mingluo clan lives, and no outsiders live there.
In ancient times, there was no sea of bamboo growing here. The original native plant was cedar.
But countless years ago, after the last generation of the Mingluo Tree King disappeared, all the cedars here disappeared, and in their place, countless Xiangfei bamboos grew on the ground.
The Mingluo tribe has declined from generation to generation, but the Xiangfei bamboo has remained evergreen and never withered.
And Bamboo Palace, which had always ignored the decline of the Mingluo clan, suddenly issued a strange order in the Silo Bamboo Sea...
After Tian Qingzhou traveled to the outskirts of Silo Bamboo Sea, Qingdai suddenly stopped the flying boat and put Tian Qingzhou into her storage bag.
Ning Fan noticed that there was a powerful forbidden air force in the sky above the Silo Bamboo Sea...
This power of the forbidden air seems to be aimed at the escape light of the Dunbao and Shattering Void monks, which is really weird.
"Brother Lu, I, a member of the Mingluo tribe, live in the Silo Bamboo Sea. According to the orders of the Bamboo Palace, you cannot use the Sky Blue Boat when you arrive at the Silo Bamboo Sea, otherwise it will violate the rules of the Bamboo Palace."
"Did the Bamboo Palace set up such palace regulations?" Ning Fan was surprised and immediately understood that the power of the forbidden air that filled the long sky was probably set up by the Bamboo Palace.
"Yes. After the last generation of the Mingluo Tree Emperor disappeared, the Mingluo clan declined, and the Xiangfei bamboo began to grow here. Then the Bamboo Palace set up a forbidden air force in this Siluo Bamboo Sea, and issued three orders: No monks are allowed to Large-scale escape treasures are used here; the Shattering Void monks are not allowed to enter the Silo Bamboo Sea; except for the Mingluo clan, no monks are allowed to cut Xiangfei Bamboo here. Are these three orders strange?" Qingdai smiled mischievously.
"These three orders are indeed strange. They look like the Bamboo Palace's protection of the Mingluo clan, but they don't look like..."
"Yes, the Bamboo Palace has never protected my Mingluo clan. When my Mingluo clan was bullied by other clans, no one ever cared about it... Xiangfei Bamboo is the sacred bamboo of the Bamboo Palace. Maybe the Bamboo Palace just wants to protect this area. Bamboo sea." Qingdai smiled and didn't care.
Tianqingzhou is restricted by the power of the Forbidden Sky and cannot fly into the Silo Bamboo Sea.
Among the three. Ning Fan asked about Xu's cultivation, while Qingdai looked at Xu's cultivation and was not restricted by the power of forbidden space.
Teng Xianrou's revealed cultivation level was that of Wenxu, but her real cultivation level was that of Shattering Heaven. She was restricted by the power of forbidden air and could not fly into Silo Bamboo Sea...
"Lu Bei, I can't fly in..." She frowned and secretly sent a message to Ning Fan.
If she wanted to enter the Silo Bamboo Sea, she would have to walk through four million miles of bamboo forest, but she didn't know how long it would take to reach it.
"That's all. You should rest in the Cauldron Realm first. By the way, you can guide the female guards in their cultivation." Ning Fan did not give Teng Xianrou a chance to refuse. Directly activate the cauldron ring to bring her into the cauldron world.
Appearing in the cauldron world out of thin air, Teng Xianrou showed an extremely dissatisfied expression.
The moment she appeared, Bing Ling Yueling and many other female guards immediately came forward to greet her. One mouthful of 'Sister Qianrou'.
This golden elixir cultivator came over and pulled her clothes, praising her for the fairy material used in her dress.
The spirit-melting female cultivator came over to touch her long hair and praised her for taking good care of her black hair.
Of course, there were also a lot of low-level female cultivators who came to ask her questions about extremely low-end cultivation.
Most of these questions were bottlenecks in the cultivation of Rong Ling and Jin Dan. In Teng Xianrou's eyes, questions from a proficient idiot were not worth answering, but Teng Xianrou had to answer them.
Ning Fan had already informed the female guards about subduing Teng Xianrou. certainly. What Ning Fan didn't tell the female guard was that Teng Xianrou was an old monster...
The female guards didn't know Teng Xianrou's cultivation, so they were not afraid of Teng Xianrou and were very enthusiastic about her. Ning Fan told them if they had any questions about their cultivation. You can ask Teng Xianrou questions, Teng Xianrou knows everything...
Teng Xianrou has the urge to hit her head with tofu! Why should she, a dignified old monster, answer the mentally retarded questions of a group of low-level monks?
Is the elixir round or flat?
She has crossed the realm of golden elixir for many years, okay! The golden elixir transforms into the Yuanying, and the Yuanying transforms into the demon soul. She has long forgotten what the golden elixir looks like!
Besides, people with common sense know that golden elixirs are round...Who asked such an idiotic question!
It’s so difficult to integrate souls. What should I do if I don’t want to integrate?
If you don’t want to merge with the spirit, why should you cultivate? Go home and embroider! What's so cute here!
How to please the master?
Wait, why would you ask her such an idiotic question? ! ! How does she know how to please Ning Fan? She doesn't even bother to please Ning Fan! ! ! Why should she want to please Ning Fan! ! !
It’s so frustrating! It’s so frustrating!
If she had met Junior Rong Ling asking these idiotic questions in the past, she would have slapped him away!
It's a pity that now she is Ning Fan's slave. She must suppress the displeasure in her heart, greet him with a smile, and be ordered to answer the idiot questions of the female guards.
She felt that her pride as a monk was being worn away bit by bit...
She felt that she had never felt so aggrieved in her 20,000 years of practicing Taoism...
She was suddenly startled and thought to herself, did Ning Fan deliberately send these low-level female cultivators to polish her pride? He did it on purpose!
Teng Xianrou wanted to crush Ning Fan into a ball and give her a beating, but when she thought of Ning Fan's harmless smile, and when she thought that Ning Fan might have deliberately sent female guards to ask these idiotic questions in an attempt to anger her, she gradually calmed down.
Gritting his teeth, he swallowed all his dissatisfaction, squeezed out a smile that was not bright, and answered all the idiot questions from the female guards.
Ning Fan wanted to anger her, but she didn't get angry. She couldn't let Ning Fan's plan succeed!
"Five hundred years! As long as I endure these five hundred years, I will be free!"
...
Teng Xianrou really misunderstood Ning Fan.
These female guards' questions are all original and have nothing to do with Ning Fan.
Some of these female guards were kidnapped from the Yue Kingdom, and some were obtained in the Endless Sea. After following Ning Fan, they no longer need to fight with others. Their lives are very leisurely and ordinary, and their thoughts are very close to life, just like ordinary women.
Mortal women are always concerned about messy problems.
They ask these weird questions entirely because they have lived too leisurely in the past few decades.
In the Silo Bamboo Sea, Ning Fan and Qing Dai flew side by side, while their spiritual thoughts spread far away, feeling the customs and customs of the Silo Bamboo Sea.
Four million miles of land. Only the Mingluo clan lives here.
In addition to the Mingluo clan, there are actually countless mortals living here...
There is nothing wrong with these mortals coexisting harmoniously with the Mingluo monks.
The Mingluo clan has declined, and the remaining clan members have experienced honor and disgrace. They are used to the warmth and coldness of people in the world of cultivation, and do not look down on mortals like other cultivation families.
Mortals also know that there are immortal masters in the world. In their opinion, the Mingluo clan is the immortals of the Silo Bamboo Sea.
Under the dense bamboo sea, mortal villages can occasionally be seen.
Among the bamboo fenced huts where mortals come and go, you can occasionally see low-level Netherworld tree demons chatting, laughing and cooking tea with mortal elders...
This scene of immortal harmony. It’s simply unbelievable in the world of cultivation!
If other cultivators saw that the Ming Luo tribe had lowered their status and joined the company of mortals. It will definitely make you laugh.
But in Ning Fan's view. What the Ming Luo clan does is consistent with the Dao!
Immortals are people who stand on the mountain. If they go down the mountain of cultivation, they will be no different from ordinary people...
He protects the Mingluo tribe and was originally entrusted by the Mingluo tree spirit. At this moment, I felt a bit of approval for the Mingluo Clan from the bottom of my heart.
Sometimes a mortal woodcutter who was cutting bamboo in the Silo Bamboo Sea would look up and see Ning Fan's deliberately slowed down escape, and would wave to Ning Fan to say hello.
This is normal in the mortal world, and there is no need for a reason for people to show kindness to each other.
But if in the world of cultivation, someone shows kindness for no reason, Ning Fan will definitely think twice to see what the other person's plan is...
Ning Fan looked distressed. He yearned for this kind of life without intrigues, but he could no longer go back to the past. I can't be a mortal...
If you want to come down from Tao Mountain and transform from immortal to mortal, you must at least have the cultivation level to climb to the top.
At that time, you can be a monk or a mortal if you want. No one dares to mess with you anymore.
Once you embark on the road of cultivation, you can only keep moving forward before reaching the peak!
Even though the Mingluo tribe lives here, and on the surface they get along with the mortals in harmony, but secretly they are bullied by other tree tribes...
The world of cultivation is not a paradise after all. No matter how peaceful it is, there is a sea of blood behind it that cannot be concealed...
The Silo Bamboo Sea is only four million miles wide. Even if Ning Fan deliberately slowed down his escape, it didn't take long to reach the central area of the Bamboo Sea.
In the center of the Bamboo Sea, thousands of miles away, there is a huge bamboo city.
There is a plaque on the city with three words: Siluo City!
Outside Siluo City, there is a team of golden elixir guards wearing tree armor.
As soon as they saw a monk flying towards them, and the noise of the light was extremely loud, these golden elixir guards immediately became nervous.
The Mingluo tribe has no friends now. If a high-level monk comes, they will undoubtedly be provocateurs...
Several golden elixir guards looked at each other and were about to take out their spiritual arrows to sound the alarm.
At this moment, Qingdai's soothing laughter, which was a bit majestic, reached the ears of these guards, and even spread to all corners of Siluo City.
"It's me, I'm Qingdai, I'm back."
She usually looks down on others in front of Ning Fan, but in front of these low-level tribesmen, she is quite majestic.
Qingdai and Ning Fan took away the light and landed outside Siluo City.
When the guards saw that the person who came was Qingdai, they all immediately showed respect and bowed their heads.
"We, the Menluo tribe, are waiting to meet the high priest!"
Six moving escaping lights swept out from Siluo City, turned into shreds of smoke and landed at the city gate, turning into six old men with tree armor on their bodies.
Only two of the six old men were in the middle stage of divine transformation, and the rest were all in the early stage of divine transformation.
As soon as they saw Qingdai, the six of them all fell down and bowed down.
"I am waiting for Priest Mingluo to welcome the return of the high priest!"
"Grandpa Gu Luo, Grandpa Xuluo, please excuse yourself. Qingdai cannot bear your kneeling."
Qingdai still had a majestic expression at first, but when she saw the two old priests who were in the middle stage of becoming gods, her eyes immediately turned red, as if she was seeing her close relatives.
After her mother died, these two old men regarded her as a descendant and gradually trained her to become the high priest of this generation.
She will never forget this kindness.
Qingdai excused herself, and all the Mingluo people who were kneeling stood up.
Priest Guluo and Priest Xulu looked at Qingdai, their cloudy eyes filled with relief and joy.
"It has been ten years since the high priest left Silo City this time. Ten years of traveling must have been very hard. This time he will stay at home for a longer time and go out to look for the remains of his ancestors later." Priest Guluo looked at Qingdai's face. Feng Chen's face couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Over the years, he and Su Luo have always treated Qingdai as their granddaughter.
If it weren't for finding the remains of our ancestors. They were absolutely reluctant to let Qingdai go out and make a living.
"Well, when I come back this time, I can stay in Siluo City for a longer time... I have recovered all the remains of the ten ancestors of Lianxu. They were all recovered by Brother Lu."
"What! All the remains of the ancestors have been recovered!" Gu Luo was shocked, and his face was filled with surprise!
"Brother Lu?" Xuluo is a cautious person.
He narrowed his old eyes and carefully looked at Ning Fan next to Qingdai, a little wary.
The other four god-forming priests also looked at Ning Fan carefully, their white eyebrows solemn.
These god-transforming monks couldn't sense Ning Fan's aura at all!
Ning Fan's aura was deep and restrained. This kind of restraint is not revealed at all. Obviously the realm is far beyond their imagination!
Gu Luo also put away his expression of surprise. He looked at Ning Fan with a somewhat wary expression, but secretly sent a message to Xuluo.
"This person is unfathomable, at least he is voyeuristic!"
"No, more than that... Although he has not revealed his aura, his hidden aura is more powerful than that of the Qingdai girl... This person is probably an old monster who asks questions." Su Luo analyzed.
"What! Wenxu! If this person has malicious intentions towards our Mingluo clan, our Mingluo clan will be hard-pressed to resist!" Gu Luo was shocked, but this time, he was frightened.
The subtle expressions on everyone's faces fell into Ning Fan's eyes, and he knew very well that his arrival had frightened the people of the Ming Luo tribe.
"My name is Lu Bei. I was entrusted by an old friend to protect the Mingluo clan. This is a token."
Ning Fan patted his storage bag, took out the Black Wood Token, and showed it to the six priests.
The moment they saw the Black Wood Order, the blood of the six god-transforming priests all boiled, and each one of them showed shocked and unexplainable expressions.
"Tree...Tree King Order!"
They are not called Black Wood Order. It is only called the Tree King Order because it is the token of the Tree King of the Mingluo clan!
This object disappeared without a trace with the disappearance of the last generation of the Netherworld Tree Emperor. Why did it appear in Ning Fan's hands!
"This thing was given to me by the last tree king of the Mingluo tribe. He is not dead yet!"
Ning Fan's voice was very low. He did not transmit the sound. Instead, he used his magical power. It was so low that only Qingdai and the six priests could hear it, and no other golden elixir guards could hear it!
His words were like a huge stone thrown into the middle of the lake, causing huge waves immediately!
The six priests were shocked, and even Qingdai covered her mouth in shock.
Ning Fan had never told her where the Black Wood Order came from, but now he told her!
The last Mingluo Shuhuang who once disappeared is not dead yet!
This news is too shocking, too puzzling, and too unbelievable!
How many thousands of years have passed since the last Tree King disappeared? No one remembers.
Who can live for such a long time, is he an immortal?
Why did the last Tree King never send any news to his clan after he disappeared?
Even Qingdai couldn't believe Ning Fan's words.
But after Ning Fan activated the Black Wood Order and forced out a trace of the Tree King's blood from the Black Wood Order, and everyone felt the pressure, no one disbelieved Ning Fan's words!
This bloodline pressure is unmistakable. It definitely belongs to the Tree King of the Mingluo clan!
And this blood aura is very strong. It has been sealed into the Black Wood Order for no more than a year, and it was sealed into it recently!
This is the most powerful evidence that the last Emperor of the Underworld is still alive!
Since the last Tree King is still alive, he handed over the Black Wood Token to Ning Fan. His intention is self-evident...
Ning Fan is a person worthy of the Mingluo clan's trust!
Ning Fan is the new tree king of this generation, the last tree king!
The handover of the Black Wood Order means the passing of the Tree King!
The six priests, including Gu Luo and Xuluo, wished they could immediately kneel down to Ning Fan and call him the Tree King.
Just seeing Ning Fan's refusal in his eyes, he immediately stopped kneeling down.
Ning Fan didn't want outsiders to know that he held the Black Wood Order and was the tree king of this generation.
If this matter comes out, I wonder if there will be old monsters in the tree world who will come to make things difficult for Ning Fan because of the Black Wood Order or because of Ning Fan's identity as the Mingluo Tree Emperor.
"Brother Lu, let's go into the city and talk slowly. This is not a place for conversation." Qingdai reminded in a low voice.
"Um."
Ning Fan nodded and followed Qingdai and others into Siluo City.
Just for a moment when he entered the city, he suddenly looked back and showed a strange look.
"Is it an illusion..." He shook his head and muttered to himself.
...
Millions of miles away, a huge Xiangfei bamboo tree suddenly let out a soft whimpering sound.
The sound of sobbing was very slight, and it didn't stop until late at night.
"Muluo is still alive, he is still alive...I knew he would not die so easily."
"He still owes me a bottle of wine and a promise that he will not die so easily..."
Muluo is the name of the last Mingluo Tree King...
This name once spread throughout the tree world, but now, only one lonely Xiangfei bamboo still remembers it.
Because he still owes her a bottle of wine and a promise.
There is a soul in the hollow bamboo, and the soul takes root in the heart of the bamboo. The root of the soul, the heart of bamboo, are inseparable...
"If one day I kill all my enemies, I am willing to step down from my position as the Tree King and take you to live in seclusion in an unknown barren mountain... At that time, there was only the moonlight above our heads, and there was only a pot beside me. Water and wine are your only companions, and I will never give them up in this life.”
...
In the Rain Realm, in the country of Yue, there is a barren mountain.
The clone of Mingluo Tree Spirit was sitting in a lonely pavilion outside the thatched cottage on the barren mountain, looking at the vast moonlight above his head, taking a pot of water and wine from the table, and drinking alone...
There was no sadness, no sorrow, no expression, no smile on his expression.
His heart had long been desolate, ravaged by time, leaving no emotion left. Only the figure of a woman remained, which could never be erased.
He has not forgotten that promise, and he is finally no longer the Underworld Tree King.
It's just that he can never go back to the tree world again...
And she must have turned into dust and passed away long ago.
In this life, we will never be able to fulfill that promise... In this life, we will never see each other again...
"I'm sorry..." The Mingluo Tree Spirit closed her eyes and sighed under the moonlight, but no one heard her.
