…
The deepest part of the Biyun Mountains, above the peach blossom forest.
The faces of Xiangxiu and the black-robed woman became extremely solemn.
They witnessed with their own eyes that Li Su and Hua Yunzhi disappeared in an instant after walking into the peach blossom forest.
The two women immediately searched the entire peach blossom forest, but could not find any trace of Li Su and Hua Yunzhi, which made them unable to calm down.
It disappeared too completely.
"This should be the place where the Eight Immortal Beasts live..." the black-robed woman said slowly.
"What did you think of?" Xiangxiu's face was much more solemn than usual.
Li Su is the future of the Golden Scale Sect, and there must be no room for failure!
"In his later years, Gaozu secretly sent nine princes to the Biyun Mountains to search for the Eight Immortal Beasts..." the black-robed woman said softly, "The rule at that time was that whoever could bring the Eight Immortal Beasts back to the Yan Kingdom would be the next Yan Kingdom emperor."
"Nine sons seize the throne?" Xiangxiu recalled the history of Yan Kingdom in her mind.
Yan Dufu, the founding emperor of the Yan Kingdom, was the overlord of his generation, and his nine sons were among the best among them.
In the twilight years of Yan Dufu, the nine princes of the Yan Kingdom started a fight for the right to inherit the throne. In the history of the Yan Kingdom, this period was called the "Nine Sons to Win the Right to the Right".
The woman in black robe nodded slightly, "What you know is the history recorded in the annals of history. The real nine sons competed for the rightful son. In fact, they all failed."
Xiangxiu pondered: "No one brought back the Eight Immortal Beasts?"
"To be precise, no one has found it." The black-robed woman stared at the peach blossom forest below, "But everyone mentioned this peach blossom forest."
Xiangxiu's heart sank slightly.
"In Gaozu's tomb, there is a wall that depicts the encounter between him and the Eight Immortal Beasts." The woman in black robe said softly, "In Gaozu's heart, the Eight Immortal Beasts should be quite important."
"Tell me about it." Xiangxiu looked at the black-robed woman, thinking that she might be able to get the truth here from the story of Emperor Yan.
"As mentioned in that poem, Gaozu and the Eight Immortal Beasts met under the moon..."
"Back then, when Gaozu was just starting out, he relied on his sharp and sharp sword to gain a reputation as the 'Sword Lord' in the world. He heard someone mention that there were many strange beasts in the Biyun Mountains, and there were also many natural and earthly treasures. Alone, deep into the Biyun Mountains."
"The great ancestor at that time was somewhat arrogant."
"Not long after he entered the Biyun Mountains, he encountered a black flame tiger. He thought that the battle could be resolved with one or two swords, but he did not expect that the black flame tiger's claws were sharper than his sword. "
"He was in such a state of embarrassment that he was chased for more than a hundred miles by the Black Flame Tiger."
"As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief when the Black Flame Tiger stopped chasing him, a huge black spider stared at him."
"He tried his sword and then continued to run away."
"The eight long legs of the black spider are like eight spears, hard and sharp."
"Gaozu fled all the way and was defeated by all the strange beasts he encountered. Later, he was so exhausted that he hid in a puddle."
"According to Emperor Gaozu's records, that puddle is similar to monkey wine. The water there is the most natural and mellow liquor."
"He soaked in it for a long time. In the process, he discovered that some strange beasts seemed to dislike the smell of the puddle... It seemed that the puddle was like a smelly ditch in the eyes of humans."
"This discovery made Gaozu very excited."
"He cut down the wood and built a canoe, which was filled with this natural spirit."
"He carried the canoe and walked around. When he encountered a strange beast, he kept quiet. The strange beast saw him from a distance, but did not pursue him."
"This made him feel confident that this kind of drink might be really smelly to strange beasts."
"Later, he was much more calm in the Biyun Mountains."
"He put the canoe into the river, lay down in the canoe, and walked leisurely along the river."
"Finally, under a moonlit night, he encountered a peach blossom forest."
Having said this, the woman in black robe once again looked at the peach blossom forest below, "As expected, it should be this peach blossom forest."
Xiangxiu asked: "He met the Eight Immortal Beasts?"
The black-robed woman nodded slightly and continued: "In Gaozu's records, that Eight Immortal Beast has a name: A'ke.
It is a very cute little white beast, with two horns, two wings, nine tails, and its whole body is covered with white scales..."
"Dragon head, phoenix wings, lin body, tiger claws, snake neck, ox horns, roc eyes, fox tail..." Xiangxiu muttered.
The black-robed woman said: "The Peng Eyes may be a little inaccurate. The eyes of the Eight Immortals Beasts painted by Gaozu are very big and beautiful."
"Really?" Xiangxiu thought for a while and said, "Maybe some Dapeng birds have big and beautiful eyes."
"Maybe." The black-robed woman continued, "The Eight Immortal Beasts are very magical. According to Gaozu's records, the cry of the Eight Immortal Beasts only sounds like the word 'beep'. However, when it screams, Gaozu can hear it." Understand the meaning contained in 'Yiya'.
This made Gaozu so miraculous that he followed the Eight Immortal Beasts through the peach forest and entered the crevices of a mountain, where he saw an even more lush peach blossom forest.
In that peach blossom forest, Gaozu met an injured great white ape. He helped the great white ape heal its injury and obtained an inherited ancient jade from the great white ape's belly. "
"Inherited ancient jade?" Xiangxiu's heart moved, and she pondered, "I remember that Yan Gaozu's sword skills were able to master the gods. The Dufu Sword Art he created was based on the Futu Sword Art, and he went his own way."
"Yes, it is the famous Buddha Sword Art." The woman in black robe said softly, "The reason why Gaozu was able to achieve the title of Sword Emperor and establish the Yan Dynasty was all started by this Buddha Sword Art."
If Xiangxiu realized something, she said: "At the beginning, Emperor Yan asked the nine princes to search for the Eight Immortal Beasts. Perhaps the real purpose was to let them search for the Buddha Sword Technique.
You, the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, have all lost the essence of the Dufu Sword Technique. "
"Perhaps Gaozu's purpose is simply to see the Eight Immortal Beasts again." The black-robed woman's eyes moved slightly as she said this.
"Oh?" Xiangxiu was surprised.
The woman in black robe explained: "Gaozu spent a very happy time here, and he and the Eight Immortal Beasts became best friends.
One person and one animal, picking peaches together, teasing the great white ape together, making wine together, exploring together, and stealing eggs from exotic birds and animals together.
It was also during this period that Gaozu's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and the strange beasts that he originally needed to avoid began to need to avoid him. "
"There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever." Xiangxiu said softly.
"Yes." The woman in black robe nodded, "Gaozu was a very ambitious man. For him, just defeating some strange beasts was not enough.
His departure was destined.
He wanted to leave with the Eight Immortals, but was stopped by the Great White Ape. "
"The great white ape?" Xiangxiu was startled and asked, "Is it the great white ape with the ancient jade in its belly?"
"That's right." The black-robed woman nodded, "According to Emperor Gaozu's records, the Great White Ape only asked him one sentence:
Take Ake away, can you protect Ake well?
That should be the first time Gaozu hesitated, the first time he didn't have absolute confidence in his own strength... Even though, at that time, his strength had already improved by leaps and bounds.
He is not sure, he is too clear about the value contained in the Eight Immortal Beasts. "
"Gaozu Yan left alone." Xiangxiu said softly, and suddenly remembered something, "I remember that the [Gaozu Ji] of the Yan Kingdom seemed to specifically mention that Gaozu Yan did not drink alcohol..."
"Yes, Gaozu stopped drinking after leaving the Biyun Mountains." The woman in black robe nodded.
"Is it because of the Eight Immortal Beasts?" Xiangxiu guessed.
"That's not true." The woman in black robe shook her head, with a strange look in her eyes.
"No?" Xiangxiu was startled.
The woman in black robe hesitated: "You are not allowed to tell anyone what I will tell you next."
"Okay." Xiangxiu agreed directly, "I will guarantee the future of Jinlin Sect. If I make a mistake, Boyang will not be able to get hard in the future."
