The sun sets in the west, rendering the unique loneliness of dusk in the sky.
It took Bai Che about a day from entering the ant nest to escaping from the crisis. Of course, he was running away most of the time.
After breathing a long sigh of relief, Bai Che planned to leave Xuangang Mountain to find Liu Yu and the others. After nearly a day, the three of them would definitely think that something had happened to them. What if they returned to Ant with a handful of old bones? If you search for yourself, the consequences may be disastrous.
If something happens to them, Bai Che will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Bai Che didn't dare to think too much, and immediately went down the mountain without stopping too much.
Perhaps it was God's favor. A few hours after Bai Che went down the mountain, he finally found Liu Yu and the other three. At this moment, they were building a bonfire and sitting together to discuss something.
Bai Che listened with interest to the conversation of the three old guys.
Zhang Bei was the most impatient person. He said: "Brother, second brother, that little brat hasn't come down for so long. Isn't he cold? Grandma, you have to be brave and pick the Rudraksha fruit. A day has passed, whether you are dead or alive, at least let me get a letter."
"No, I have to go take a look." Zhang Bei looked very anxious, pacing back and forth, looking like an ant on a hot pot.
"Third brother, please be patient." Liu Yu spoke slowly, "The young master said that he has a way, so let us leave first. We must trust the young master and not add unnecessary trouble to the young master."
Although Liu Yu looked calm, his eyes were still full of worry. To be honest, the diamond ants could defeat even the white jade giant elephant. No matter how special Bai Che was, it would be difficult for him to escape under the siege of the diamond ants. Now he just hopes What Bai Che said is true.
"Eldest brother, third brother..." Guan Hong, who had always been taciturn, spoke up and said, "It's not an option to wait all the time. If the young master hasn't come down from the mountain tomorrow, let's go and have a look."
Hearing this, Liu Yu and Zhang Bei nodded, and Liu Yu even said: "We are the ones who brought the young master to Xuangang Mountain, so if something happens to the young master, even if he risks his life, And bring him down from the anthill.”
Hearing this, Bai Che, who was hiding behind a tree and eavesdropping, felt a surge of warmth in his heart. These three old guys were very affectionate and righteous.
So, Bai Che adjusted his mood, walked out, smiled and apologized: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Guan, and Mr. Zhang kept you waiting for a long time."
"Little rabbit...young master!? Are you still alive?" Zhang Bei looked in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost. It was very different from the worried look just now, which made Bai Che feel a little worried. surprise.
If Bai Che hadn't seen it with his own eyes just now, he would have thought that Zhang Bei was looking forward to his early death.
"This Lao Zhang is quite awkward." Bai Che thought to himself. He smiled and said, "Of course I'm still alive. Is there still a ghost who can stand here and talk to you?"
"Young Master, I hope you can return safely." Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It is true that the Rudraksha fruit is used to condense the Tao body, but it is not the only Rudraksha fruit in the world that can condense the Tao body, like the Xuanhong fruit. The heart essence of earth veins, the essences of some high-level alien beasts...and many heavenly materials, earthly treasures, heavenly and earthly spiritual objects can be used to condense the Tao body..."
"So, young master, not only the Rudraksha fruit can condense the Taoist body, the young master has deep blessings and will be able to obtain these items. Moreover, even if he does not get the Rudraksha fruit this time, it will still bear fruit more than ten years later. , by then, it won’t be too late for the young master to come back to pick the Rudraksha fruit.”
Hearing this, Bai Che was a little surprised. It turns out that there are so many things in this world that can be used to condense the Tao body?
So, can every kind of heavenly material, earthly treasure, heavenly and earthly spiritual creature be condensed into a kind of Taoist body?
If so, wouldn't it be possible to create a new move? The so-called...just gang fight?
When the time comes... to form a "Bai Che and various Taoist alliances", referred to as "White League", and then engage in some of their own old professions, the "new policy" must be implemented to the end.
Thinking of this, Bai Che was a little excited and yearned for it. For a moment, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Bai Che's strange behavior made Liu Yu and others slightly stunned. They thought Bai Che was hit because he didn't get the Rudraksha fruit, so they just wanted to step forward to comfort them.
But Bai Che spoke up and said: "How can I get something that I can't get if I go out? What are the Vajra ants? The Rudraksha fruit is not within easy reach."
Bai Che chuckled, and then talked about his "heroic deeds" with Liu Yu and others. Of course, he erased some things, such as sneaking around and running all the way. Those embarrassing things would naturally not be told to them.
After hearing Bai Che's "heroic deeds", Liu Yu and others couldn't help but sigh, this young master is indeed unusual. If it were them, they would have been torn apart by diamond ants long ago.
Bai Che decided to return to Cang Qiong Gate and began to refine his Taoist body. Now in this wilderness, it was a little unsafe.
If there was an accident, there wouldn't even be anyone to collect the body.
However, it is not safe to travel at night. Most of the strange beasts hunt at night, and they are extremely powerful. It was impossible to rush back to Cangqiongmen at night.
Bai Che and Liu Yu rested here for the night. Although it was still in the wild, it was much safer with a fire.
It rained heavily in the middle of the night, making Bai Che curse and curse God.
After Bai Che and others hid under a big tree with a very dense crown, Zhang Bei on the side was also yelling and swearing, which was very indecent. Bai Che and Zhang Bei looked at each other, and they instantly felt that they were the same kind of people and had a kindred spirit. It was a feeling of regret that they had met each other late, so the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and began to compete with each other to see who could scold them elegantly and well.
Liu Yu and Guan Hong were shocked, but they were still on guard because the fire was extinguished.
They struggled like this for most of the night. Finally, Bai Che and Zhang Bei climbed up a tree to rest because they were tired of scolding. This time, there was no winner between the two, and they agreed to continue next time.
However, nothing much happened during the night.
...
Early the next morning, the sun broke through the dark clouds and shined a ray of golden light. After the rain, the surrounding plants were full of vitality. The leaves were green and dripping with oil, and the breeze blew, mixed with the fragrance of earth.
Bai Che took a big gulp of fresh air, and the haze from the heavy rain in the middle of the night was swept away.
Bai Che looked at the picture in front of him and thought hard about the little ink in his heart.
"It's sunny after the rain...well...when dawn comes, the rain washes away the traces of dust, and the thick green is overcast...the overcast can be a...can be a mountain, haha, I'm such a genius..."
Bai Che was immersed in his "talent", but at this time, Liu Yu told Bai Che that when they went down the mountain before, they saw the white jade giant elephant. It was still alive, seriously injured, and dying. However, the villages near Xuangang Mountain And some nearby sects are on their way.
Hearing this, Bai Che was slightly startled and said, "Is there still such a thing?"
Bai Che squeezed the water from his clothes and immediately said, "Let's go and take a look."
Bai Che was also very interested in the giant white jade elephant. He knew that the sects near Xuangang Mountain went there for the precious blood and some materials of the giant white jade elephant, while the villagers went there for the meat of the giant white jade elephant.
At that time, Bai Che himself had never had close contact with the giant white jade elephant. Now that he had the opportunity, he would naturally go and see it.
"Hey, Mr. Liu, this sect in Xuangang Mountain is not one of the hundreds of sects in the wilderness, right?" Bai Che suddenly asked while walking on the road.
"Yes, Young Master." Liu Yu nodded and said, "Although the sects here are called sects, they are actually places where some highly enlightened villagers from the villages near Xuangang Mountain gather together to practice."
"The reason why they established the sect is so that it can be easily organized and managed at critical moments." Liu Yu paused and explained: "They just want to protect their own village, stay in a corner, and do not participate in the struggle for hegemony. Therefore, they are not considered to be a sect. In the door."
Bai Che nodded. When Liu Yu continued to explain, Bai Che was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a pure land in the wilderness. The villages here helped each other, hunted together, and shared food together. The sect protected them for generations. Propagate and live happily for generations, just like a paradise.
"This is indeed a pure land." Liu Yu sighed and said, "However, they are very exclusive and it is impossible for outsiders to integrate into them."
Bai Che nodded to express his understanding. Utopia is a paradise, so he definitely doesn't like outsiders.
Bai Che remembered that Tao Qian had written "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring". Anyway, the end result was that the "fisherman" informed the prefect about the Peach Blossom Spring, and the Peach Blossom Spring disappeared.
But whether this is the fantasy of the "fisherman" or a spiritual connection from the "Peach Blossom Spring", Bai Che doesn't know.
However, the purpose of Bai Che's trip was only for the giant white jade elephant, and had little to do with these "paradise" people.
Not long after, Bai Che and Liu Yu arrived at their destination, and saw a mountain-like behemoth lying in front of them. Its body was covered in scars and dripping with blood. This was naturally the white jade giant elephant.
At this moment, several legs of the white jade giant elephant have been broken, and dozens of meters of ivory have been broken, but its body is still rising and falling. Obviously, the white jade giant elephant is still alive, but it only has one breath.
Bai Che slowly turned around, and a large pool of tears flowed from the eyes of the giant white jade elephant, forming a small lake.
It looked at Bai Che with its distracted eyes, which made Bai Che's heart stagnate.
The sudden arrival of Bai Che and Liu Yu made people from several villages and sects stunned, and then they stared at Bai Che and others cautiously.
"Who?" a group of people asked loudly.
"Everyone, we don't mean to disturb, we just want to take a look at this giant white jade elephant." Bai Che said calmly.
Immediately, someone among the villagers said: "You outsiders, get out of here, you are not welcome here."
Hearing this, Bai Che frowned slightly.
One of the old monks looked around at Bai Che and the others. The young man in front of him was only at the bone refining stage, but the three people behind him could not see clearly. Their cultivation was only higher than him. Suddenly, they I had a bad premonition in my heart, "They may be people from hundreds of families in the wilderness..."
The old man who looked like a monk waved his hand and said: "It turns out that this fellow Taoist is also interested in this white jade giant elephant. If so, let's take a look together."
"Elder of the clan, why did you..." the man asked loudly.
However, the clan elder ignored him and just smiled and invited Bai Che and others to sit down.
Other people in the village were a little surprised why their clan elder was like this, but some people soon realized that their clan elder was afraid, which showed that these four people were stronger than the clan elder.
Everyone took a deep breath and stopped talking. The monk was angry and the mortals were bleeding.
"Fellow Taoist, how did you know that this giant white jade elephant is here?" the monk-looking clan elder asked.
Bai Che and others suddenly appeared, and he was unsure. Where did these people come from? Why do they know the location of this giant white jade elephant?
He didn't know any of this.
"Of course I know." Bai Che said, "It was dropped by the diamond ants."
"Jin... Diamond ants left behind?" Hearing this, the clan elder looked shocked. Although he knew that the diamond ants were fighting that night, he did not expect that the opponent of the diamond ants turned out to be this white jade giant elephant, the diamond ant. When did you become so patient? By the way, he must be joking.
"Fellow Taoist, don't be joking." The clan elder said seriously.
"Are you kidding?" Bai Che asked, and then said: "The four of us saw it with our own eyes."
Bai Che smiled and continued: "Fellow Taoist, this Vajra Ant has given you a big gift."
