Qiu Yun was not afraid of anything else. He was only afraid that this master was not really thinking about the sect, but was using the guise of bringing order to order to eliminate dissidents, kill the Ghost Immortal Sect, and support the Corpse Immortal Sect again.
But now judging from Gong Mengbi's methods, it seems that he is telling the truth.
There is no room for Qiu Yun to doubt that he has been practicing in a place like Xima Mountain until now. Although he has not complicit in the evil, he still has to have a few evil intentions in his heart, otherwise he would not be alive today.
Qiu Yun's feelings towards Gong Mengbi are very complicated, including fear and expectation.
Gong Mengbi doesn't need his complete conviction, which is unrealistic. For now, as long as it works.
After being informed by Qiu Yun, Gong Mengbi led the Skull God to the forbidden area in the back mountain of Xima Mountain.
This is the real secret of Ximashan.
The forbidden area is protected by a formation, and you must hold the leader's token to enter safely. Different from the Four Bitter Formations, the formation that protects the forbidden area is a true killing array.
Therefore, this place was originally a place of retreat and practice for the ancient sages of Xima Mountain, and no one is allowed to trespass.
Before those ghosts and immortals were banned by the Hundred Soul Banner, they practiced in the forbidden area. It was the Skull God who tricked them all into the Hundred Soul Banner, ruining their hard work.
This forbidden area is where the Ghost Face Peach Forest is.
Taking out the leader's token obtained from the leader of Xima Mountain, Gong Mengbi used his spiritual skills and lightly touched it, and a clear light appeared on the token, protecting him within it.
Gong Mengbi and the Skull God walked into the formation. Compared with the previous Four Bitter Formations, this formation was much cleaner.
There are no evil spirits, just pure Yin Qi gushing out, turning into ferocious murderous intent, which will attack all uninvited guests indiscriminately.
Gong Mengbi's eyes seemed to have bright moons. The Yin Qi flowing in the formation could not escape his gaze. To him, it was not a very powerful formation, but it was very difficult to deal with due to the favorable location.
Xima Mountain is a place where yin accumulates, and the peach grove of Ghost Faced Peach is exactly where this place of yin accumulates.
Although the entire Xima Mountain is already considered a place of Yin, the place where the Ghost Faced Peach Grove is located is where the endless Yin energy truly accumulates.
Walking out of the formation, you will find a lush peach forest.
At this time of year, it is the time when the peach trees are bearing unripe fruits.
Among the dense peach branches and leaves, there are green peaches growing one by one. The fruits are not as abundant as those of ordinary peach trees. On most peach branches, only three or four green fruits can be seen.
But the green fruits are larger, plumper and rounder than the fruits of ordinary peach trees.
Gong Mengbi looked up and saw that the green fruits were criss-crossed, forming a human face.
It has perfect eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose, but it is not as straight as a real human face. It is crooked, wrinkled, or tilted to one side, making it a ghostly face full of hatred and distortion.
Skull God said: "This is the ghost-faced peach. The human face on the peach will gradually open its eyes as the peach matures, giving birth to a weak spirituality. If you eat it, you can save part of the hard work of cultivation."
The practice here naturally refers to the Taoism of Xima Mountain.
The Skull God led Gong Mengbi towards the depths of the ghost-faced peach forest. The closer he got to the surrounding peach trees, the smaller the ghost-faced peaches were and the less clear the ghost-faced peaches were.
The Skull God remembered: "Generally speaking, the ghost-faced peaches outside will eventually select a part to reward the disciples, and the rest will still be matured and turned into soil to re-nourish the peach forest."
"And the ghost-faced peach inside, the closer it is to the center and the peach mother, the more precious it is. It is used by the seniors to entrust the Yin God."
"The ghost-faced peach on the outside matures and falls every year, but the ghost-faced peach on the inside will not fall as long as it is not picked, and will continue to gather Yin energy. It is a good thing for the Yin god."
Gong Mengbi followed him as he walked inside, and the ghost-faced peach he saw became more and more beautiful, and the ghost face became more and more like a human face.
Finally, we arrived in front of a huge peach tree. The branches of this peach tree were glowing with beautiful red, and the peach leaves were green and heavy as clouds.
Among its branches and leaves, there is only one fruit, which is plump and round, white as a whole, with a slight green color. The human face on the peach is lifelike, as if it has been carefully carved.
The Skull God said: "It's a pity... this is a new fruit this year. If you don't pick this fruit and keep it for ten or dozens of years, it will be enough to entrust the spiritual god. If you keep it for a hundred years without falling, I am afraid that you will become a different person." Become a monster."
This lush peach tree stands in the shadowy land, its roots are entangled and penetrate deep into the ground. The crown of the tree is like a canopy, glowing with an extraordinary spiritual light.
The yin energy in this yin-accumulating place is extremely strong, and every ghost-faced peach fruit is eroded by the yin energy and turns into a ghost face. Only this peach tree is filled with the aura of yang and harmony, just like the eyes of the yin fish in the Yin-Yang diagram, giving birth to the aura of pure yang in the place where yin accumulates.
The fruit of this peach tree fell to the ground, and a peach forest was born.
It's just that the remaining peach trees, although they have gained some of its yang energy, are ultimately missing the blessing.
Gong Mengbi said: "Survival in death, yang in yin, no wonder you Xima Taoists settled here."
The Skull God stood under the tree and said: "But after all, it is just a peach tree, and Patriarch Xima did not achieve enlightenment through it."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said: "It's so difficult to become enlightened. If you can achieve enlightenment with the help of a precious tree, then why do you need people to practice hard?"
"But you have indeed not fully utilized the magical effects of this precious tree."
The Skull God looked at Gong Mengbi and asked him to clarify his doubts.
Gong Mengbi said: "To discover the magical effect of this tree, you must at least be successful in refining the spirit, that is to say, you must have the fourth level of Taoism."
"To enter the middle grade into the upper grade, you need to refine the pure yang soul. With this tree in hand, you can understand the changes of yin and yang, generate yang from the yin, and step into the upper grade."
The Skull God was stunned, but showed a trace of embarrassment, and said: "From ancient times to the present, no one in our Xima Mountain has been able to cultivate to this level. The founder of Xima has not cultivated to this level himself, so how can he use it to exert magical effects? "
Gong Mengbi nodded and said: "Although Taoist Xima cannot fully utilize the magical power of the treasure tree, it is already an opportunity to use the ghost-faced peach to entrust the Yin God to practice."
It's a pity that opportunity is chance and practice is practice.
Over the years, Ximashan has not only used the ghost-faced peach as a treasure to entrust to the spiritual god, but also used the ghost-faced peach as a magic medicine to increase mana.
This opportunity is almost as good as gone. Especially after the entire Xima Mountain became a demonic path, the entire Peach Grove became the private property of the leader. He was so fat that he reached the sixth level, but no disciples benefited from it.
Gong Mengbi said to the Skull God: "I have to accept your love and the love of Xi Mashan."
Gong Mengbi is currently in the fifth rank. Although he is still far away from the third rank, it is never too early to prepare for a rainy day.
