Chapter 57: Mountain Gate Protector
After Yunlong smashed the calamity cloud in the sky with his flying sword "Taiping", it gradually dissipated. Then the light of transformation fell from the sky, covering the old locust tree and the green jade vine.
After a while, the light of transformation faded, and a couple appeared from inside: the man was about thirty years old, wearing a black Confucian robe, with a square face, holding a black ruler, with an air of an old scholar; the woman was twenty-eight years old. Nine years old, dressed in a green outfit, with picturesque features and heroic spirit, holding a soft green whip, she looks like a knight-errant.
The two of them came to Yunlong hand in hand, knelt down together, and said gratefully: "Thank you to the Immortal for taking pity on us and helping us. My husband and I have nothing to repay for the Immortal's great kindness. We are willing to join the sect and follow the Immortal Master." , please take me under your wing." After saying that, he kowtowed repeatedly.
Yunlong felt guilty because his refining of treasures had caused them to be almost killed by thunder, so he came to help. Seeing this situation, he quickly stretched out his hand to help them up, saying: "Xianli and Xianli suffered this time because of poverty." How can I take advantage of people's danger when the Tao is implicated? Now that you have successfully transformed, wouldn't it be better for you to practice with peace of mind and be free?"
But the man shook his head and replied: "I dare not deceive the Immortal. It has been hundreds of years since my husband and I were born with spiritual consciousness. When the Yuan Shen went out on a tour, we had seen the overt and covert fights, killings and looting in the world of cultivation. We were almost killed several times. The people in the demonic path have taken in the soul, and have been cautious and trembling since then. Today, they finally succeeded in transforming. However, there are no profound cultivation techniques or powerful magic weapons. The two of us are alien transformers, and we are alone. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to transform. Let’s survive in this dangerous world of cultivation.”
After a pause, he added: "That's why I saw that the Immortal has great magical power, dispersed the heavenly calamity with his wave of hands, and also helped me. He must be a moral person, so I boldly asked to follow the Immortal and be protected by you." After that, He kowtowed again and again.
The woman in green also glanced at Yunlong secretly and interjected: "We are the incarnations of grass and tree elves. We are good at controlling the energy of Wutu and Yimu. We are also familiar with the nature of wood. We dare not ask the immortal to accept us as disciples. We only hope to become the immortal." It’s also good to look after homes, homes, and medicine gardens.”
Seeing how resolute they were, Yunlong pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I won't refuse. I was originally a Qi refiner on Qianlong Island in the East China Sea, and now I am practicing in the world. This Linglong Valley is also where I am in the Central Plains." Currently, I am the only one living in Beppu, which is very deserted. Since you two are willing to join us, then you can serve as the guardians of the mountain gate stationed here."
When the two of them saw that Yunlong finally agreed to take them in, they were overjoyed and nodded and thanked them.
Yunlong thought for a moment and then continued: "This place is rich in spiritual energy and the terrain is secluded. It is also the place where you two were reincarnated, so it is suitable for practicing here. There are many strange flowers, rare herbs and rare medicinal materials in Linglong Valley. You can collect some. , planted in the medicinal garden in the back mountain."
After that, he punched a mark into the minds of the two of them and said: "This is the contact mark of our sect. When you are in crisis, you can use your soul to ask for help from me through this mark. Also, my master's sect is also There are others, but this Linglong Valley is my cave, you can just call me Valley Master."
The two of them quickly looked inside and found that the mark was closely integrated with their mind. After a slight touch with their souls, they immediately found that they had established a weak connection with the Yunlong in front of them. It was very effective. They hurriedly said: "Valley Master, we are waiting for you. ”
In fact, this mark also has a secret function, which is to grasp the location and situation of the person. Because it is connected to the mind, it can sense his every move at any time. As long as he has thoughts of betrayal, he can sense it at any time. It can be said to be the difference between life and death. Time can be regarded as a disguised form of control and slavery.
It's not that Yunlong is sinister, it's just that his heart is deceitful and he has to be on guard. After all, Yunlong has only known them for a day and doesn't know much about them. This Linglong Valley is also an important place in the mountain gate, and it must be guarded by trustworthy people to feel at ease. Don't talk about treating each other with sincerity, which is unfounded. He has lived for so many years and has never seen anything. Even father and son can turn against each other and betray each other, let alone people they just met.
Of course, he will not treat them badly and will give them great benefits. If they are really loyal in the future, he will also secretly lift the restrictions for them and treat each other sincerely.
Yunlong stayed in Linglong Valley for a few more months. Now that Linglong Valley is already garrisoned, it cannot be too simple and must be built like a different mansion.
He used great magic power to summon the essence of Wutu from the ground, made it into white marble floor tiles, and paved a road from the mouth of the valley to the cave. He also used a lot of precious materials to refine several powerful magic weapons, and gave them to the two Since the newly recruited mountain gate protector has become a disciple, of course he cannot be too shabby, otherwise he, the owner of the valley, will be disgraced.
Many formations have been set up inside and outside the valley. These formations are interlocked and can affect the whole body. They include the confusion formation, the cloud and mist formation, the water and fire formation, the sword and weapon formation, the sky thunder formation, the red gauze formation, and the destruction formation. Soul Array, etc., etc., have also refined many magic weapons to suppress the formation eyes and enhance the power, and put them into the formation. These magic weapons can absorb spiritual energy through the formation, temper themselves, improve their quality, and increase in power over time. , you can also give it to your disciples as appropriate in the future, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
The locust tree elf is a strange species in the locust tree, named Ghost Faced Locust. He is born to eat souls and eat ghosts. After transforming, he named himself Guo Huai. The green jade vine elf is also an ancient spiritual species. He is born to control the two energies of earth and wood. His name is Guo Huai. Their name is Teng Ying, probably because they belong to the plant elves. The two of them are naturally good at planting and alchemy, so Yunlong passed on to them a set of "Essentials of Alchemy" and "Summary of Spiritual Roots" that he summarized and annotated. It records his inheritance from the Holy Spirit Tree and his hundreds of years of understanding and understanding of the art of alchemy and the spiritual root medicinal materials between heaven and earth. He has never found a suitable successor, so he gave it to Guo Huai and Teng Ying, which can be regarded as teaching students according to their aptitude. .
They also passed on a set of demon cultivation methods "Lingyuan Miaojing" in "Yunlong Transformation". This method emphasizes external cultivation of the body and internal cultivation of the origin, tapping one's own potential, improving qualifications, and finally returning to the source and transforming into pure With the bloodline of the ancient demon gods, if you cultivate to a high level, you can transform into an ancient demon and become a demon saint.
The two of them had always practiced based on their nature and some scattered inherited memories. They had never seen such a systematic and profound alchemy book and cultivation method. They felt like they had found a treasure and secretly sighed that this backer was so worth it. In this way, the two of them have received a great favor from Yunlong and become more loyal.
Since the two knew a lot about herbs and medicinal materials, the owner of the valley ordered them to find some medicinal spiritual roots to decorate the medicine garden. The two lived up to their expectations. In just a few months, they actually found nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, ten thousand year old ginseng, The fire apricot tree, pure bamboo, purple-striped peach tree, Tianfu Jade Lotus, a century-old red fruit, nine crimson pearl fairy grass, and some ordinary elixirs, I will not describe them one by one. It is probably because the world between heaven and earth The spiritual energy is still abundant and there is no pollution. There are still a lot of these elixirs and fairy grasses, which is because they have not been collected all.
When Yunlong saw them, he was impressed by their ability to find medicinal materials. The ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, fire apricot, and red fruit were just some of the more rare medicinal herbs, not rare, and the pure bamboo was It is a Buddhist spiritual object. According to legend, it can only be found in Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea and the ashram of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It can calm the mind and subdue inner demons.
The purple-striped peach tree grew from the legendary flat peaches in the Queen Mother's peach garden that fell into the world. Although its efficacy is greatly reduced, it blooms once every three hundred years, bears fruit once every three hundred years, and matures in another three hundred years. , a peerless treasure that can increase your spiritual practice by five hundred years if you eat one.
Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass is also the legendary fairy grass that grows on the Ling River in the west of the heaven. It absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and can condense a drop of fairy dew every year. Ordinary people drink a drop of it, which can improve their physical fitness, prolong life, and eat one drop. If you plant a plant, you can live forever and step into the door of cultivation. It is particularly effective for the disciples who have just started the sect. It can be said to be a priceless treasure that solidifies the foundation and lights up the sect!
In comparison, the Immortal Mansion Jade Lotus is much inferior. However, the spiritual roots that grow out of the Heavenly Immortal Lotus after it falls to the mortal world can purify the true energy and improve cultivation without any future troubles. However, it can also be regarded as a rare treasure in the human world. .
Some of these medicinal spiritual roots, even Yunlong himself had only heard of but never seen. He couldn't help but sigh, "There is really a hierarchy of hearing, and there are specialties in the arts." These are the best materials for alchemy, and Yunlong has opened up a new world. In the medicinal garden, they were planted in different categories, and formations for gathering spirits, defenses, and warnings were set up so that the spiritual roots could grow safely, which could be described as caring.
After everything was over, Yunlong also went back and took Yuan Wuzi to Linglong Valley, letting him practice and look after his family here. After all, there was enough spiritual energy here, and Guo Huai and Teng Ying could discuss each other's Taoism and practice. It is difficult not to make rapid progress. He also taught them the key points of the formation and some outlines of the formation to freely enter and exit the mountain gate. After all, many skills are not overwhelming, and told them to practice well. Yunlong left Linglong Valley and began his journey of traveling around the world again.
He wanted to make more adequate preparations before the Human Emperor was born and the world was brought to peace. In addition, the spiritual roots collected by Guo Huai and Teng Ying also stimulated him. Even the two little demons who had just transformed could find so many elixirs. It seemed that there were many different spiritual root species in the world. In the future, there will be a war in the world of cultivation, and it is unknown how many spiritual roots will be destroyed as a result. This will lead to the dilemma that even a nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum will become a peerless treasure in later generations. It's better to collect more as soon as possible. Even if you don't use it yourself, it's good to leave it to your disciples in the future.
