After hearing what Mo Guyuan said, Yu Qinggong looked at it carefully, and after a while, he said in surprise, "Isn't the hibiscus tree growing in Tanggu of the East China Sea? How come it appears here?"
Mo Guyuan also looked puzzled. According to ancient records, the hibiscus tree grew in the Tang Valley of the East China Sea, and it was also the place where people practiced cultivation for ten days in ancient times.
It is said that this hibiscus tree is also the connecting door between the gods, the human world and the underworld. Later, in ancient times, the great god Yi stepped on the fusang and shot the sun, crushing the fusang, causing the three realms to be separated and blocked.
The sword went straight down, and through the gaps in the leaves, the two of them passed through, and soon arrived at the bottom of the fusang tree. Looking up, Mo Guyuan found that they were exactly the same according to the comparison recorded in the book in his memory.
Fusang is on the east coast of the East China Sea, and it has been ashore for ten thousand miles. There is a blue sea in the east, as wide and narrow as the East China Sea. Fusang is in the blue sea. There are many trees on the ground, and the leaves are like mulberry. It is thousands of feet long and more than 2,000 meters wide. Two trees grow from the same root and lean on each other, so they are called Fusang.
This huge hibiscus tree just occupies the depths of the ground out of thin air, and the two of them have hard ground under their feet. They don't know how this hibiscus tree appears here.
Coming from top to bottom, it can be seen that the Tongtian Peak Mountain has been hollowed out. Although the two of them have not gone up, they have spent a lot of time to get here, and they should have reached the bottom of the Tongtian Peak.
"Mo Guyuan, look at those red fruits on the tree. They are the mid-summer mulberries of the hibiscus tree. Sister Ling told me before that eating a mid-summer mulberry tree can not only strengthen your body, but also Cleansing the marrow and removing the impurities remaining in the body during the course of practice, so that one's own cultivation can reach a high level, which is a rare treasure in the world." Yu Qinggong pointed his finger and said excitedly.
Mo Guyuan's eyes lit up and he looked carefully at the red fruits hanging high on the tree. At first glance, there were about five or six red fruits. And under the layers of accumulated leaves, looking through the green and white light, it seems that there are looming midsummer mulberries deep in the branches and leaves.
Hibiscus has many changes, its cover has no permanent shape, and it can also be fractal into hundreds of bodies. Although the tree is large, its leaves and stems are actually mulberry trees in mid-summer. Because it is extremely difficult to bloom and bear fruit, the stems are sparse and red in color. And the fruit it bears lasts for nine thousand years and is extremely sweet and fragrant.
"The book says that this midsummer mulberry bears fruit once every nine thousand years. When you look at it, there are five of them in front of you, as if there are red fruits hidden deep in the leaves. Based on this calculation, isn't this hibiscus tree tens of thousands of years old? Already?" Mo Guyuan murmured foolishly.
"I'm afraid it's far more than that. As early as ancient times, Tanggu Fuso has been famous in the mountains and seas. Although I don't know why the good hibiscus trees have reached this mountain, but now it seems that the fuso trees have a lot of roots just taking root in Tongtian Peak. It's been a long time." Yu Qinggong said slowly.
Mo Guyuan looked at the sacred tree in front of him. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, he still had an unbelievable look in his eyes.
Legend has it that the hibiscus tree is ever-changing and has different shapes. Because it was a resting place for ten days in ancient times, it is also known as the Sun God Tree. If the hibiscus tree is allowed to completely return to its true form, it is said that it can reach the sky and lead to the place where the gods are.
The two of them climbed up along the intricate tree trunk, aiming for the midsummer mulberry tree.
"Tanggu is huge, but it can only accommodate the huge hibiscus trees growing in the valley. Look at this mountain cave. Although it occupies a large area, it is still very different from Tanggu. Yes, I really don’t know how this hibiscus tree ended up in Tongtian Peak." Mo Guyuan was puzzled as he walked and climbed.
"The hibiscus trees have different shapes. Even if they are not in Tang Valley, they are all lush and green in this mountain peak. What does that matter? In my opinion, I am afraid that this place is no worse than Tang Valley. Maybe the reason why this Tongtian Peak has become In this way, it is sucked up by the hibiscus tree." Yu Qinggong said with a smile.
Mo Guyuan was stunned and looked up at the big tree again, not daring to think about the specifics of what Yu Qingxing said.
A tree cannibalizes a mountain? It’s still the Tongtian Peak that stays forever. If you tell me this, it’s probably hard for anyone to believe it.
"Don't worry about the rest. Since I happened to encounter the Zhongxia Mulberry you mentioned, there is no reason to miss it. Pick these fruits back first. They will definitely be of great use in the future." Mo Guyuan jumped onto a tree trunk. , turned around and stretched out his hand towards Yu Qinggong and smiled.
Yu Qingqing grabbed Mo Guyuan firmly, stepped on it lightly, and came to his side. He also smiled and replied, "I know this is a good thing, so I don't want to miss it."
"That
Of course, it only bears fruit once in nine thousand years, and it is still the fairy fruit of the hibiscus tree. If you eat it, not to mention directly becoming an immortal, at least it will be of great help to us. Now that your level of cultivation is above mine, I can't afford to fall too far behind. "Mo Guyuan said with a chuckle.
"Hey, look at your potential."
After climbing back and forth for several times, the two of them soon came close to the first midsummer mulberry. When they looked into the eyes, they saw that the mulberry was scarlet and crystal clear, as bright as red jade. It was seen through the blue-white light on the tree. , the two are in sharp contrast.
Mo Guyuan asked Yu Qinggong in a low voice, "Can it be picked off directly by hand?"
Yu Qing was stunned for a moment, and said in a foggy voice, "I guess so?"
The two of them smiled, and Mo Guyuan was the first to reach out and grab Zhongxia Zhisang. His hand was cold, but there was nothing else unusual about it.
But soon Mo Guyuan noticed something was wrong, and his face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
"Why, you can't pick it off?" Yu Qinggong asked curiously.
Mo Guyuan smiled bitterly and nodded, saying, "I tried back and forth several times, and finally exhausted all my strength, but the Zhongxia Zhimulus still didn't move at all when hanging on the branch."
Yu Qingqing looked at the red fruit and reached out to try it, just as Mo Guyuan said.
"Miss Yu, please step back and I'll use the Xuanyuan Sword to see if I can chop it down." Mo Guyuan raised the sword in one hand and said in preparation.
Although the two came here for the mulberry tree, they were unwilling to destroy the ancient tree. Under Mo Guyuan's deliberate control, the Xuanyuan Sword shone brightly and landed on the branches, leaves, roots and stems of Zhongxia Mulberry and Fusang with great precision. superior.
When they meet each other, the iron is as sharp as mud, and the mulberry leaves of mid-summer have fallen away.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Yu Qinggong caught it in one fell swoop, raised his hand, and smiled proudly at Mo Guyuan, "Good cooperation, here's another one."
Mo Guyuan nodded in agreement, and raised his sword again to strike at another place, but just when the two of them thought that the place was safe and sound, the entire hibiscus tree shook, and the green and white colors on the tree became brighter and brighter, and the leaves There was a rustling sound and fallen leaves.
Something strange gradually emerged, Mo Guyuan took advantage of the situation and took Yu Qinggong's hand and dropped it downwards without any delay.
Yu Qingqing, who was held in Mo Guyuan's arms, felt warm in his heart. What he saw before was his instinctive reaction. It turned out that he was so caring and important in his heart.
He raised his head and looked at the man above him. His chin had risen at some point, and he had a slight green beard. Underneath his resolute face, there were clear edges and corners.
Yu Qinggong lowered her head. At this moment, it seemed that no matter how great the danger was, it was nothing to her.
This cave deep in the mountain is so dark and empty that there seems to be nothing wrong with the two of them staying here all the time. Yu Qinggong subconsciously hugged Mo Guyuan tightly and pressed her face against his chest, thinking to herself.
At the moment, Mo Guyuan didn't know the charm in Yu Qingxing's heart. The strange noise coming from Fusang made him instantly shocked. A strong crisis spread in his heart. His intuition told him that there seemed to be something inside the tree.
The hibiscus tree was shaking, and the two colors of light were so dazzling that they could not help but close their eyes.
After a while, a majestic and angry hoarse voice sounded in their ears at the same time.
"Who are you, dare to trouble me, Fusang?" A voice sounded here, and the light gradually dimmed.
After Mo Guyuan and Yu Qinggurgling landed, they looked up at the same time, but there was still no one in sight. They didn't know where the sound came from.
Mo Guyuan did not hesitate, cupped his hands and said, "Junior and my friends stumbled into this place by mistake. No offense intended. I just saw the Midsummer mulberry growing on the tree. I thought it was an ownerless thing, so I thought I could pick it back and cultivate myself." It’s helpful.”
"Shameless boy, you are worthy of getting your hands on the mulberry tree. You don't know what is good or bad. Leave me as soon as possible, or I will not spare you." The hoarse and majestic voice sounded again, full of anger.
Mo Guyuan did not act rashly for a moment. Looking at the dense and rich hibiscus tree in front of him, he was equally puzzled.
The crisis that I sensed earlier came from the fusang tree, but now this person is just threatening me, but has not taken any substantive action. Is it possible that he is deliberately scaring me?
"It's so mysterious that you can show your true identity. Who wouldn't be able to hide behind your back and say cruel things? Why don't you come out and have a fight?" Mo Guyuan was still thinking deeply here.
, Yu Qinggong on the side pointed at Fusang and yelled.
As soon as these words came out, Mo Guyuan immediately struck preemptively and started the battle. He was afraid that the opponent would just fight. The blue light of Xuanyuan Sword exploded, and the blade was sharp, and he waved his finger and flew away.
Yu Qinggong was also not sloppy, grabbing the moon and chasing stars from his sleeves, his momentum instantly reached the peak, and he had an attitude of being ready to do anything at any time.
But after the two of them waited for a long time, there was no more sound coming from the hibiscus tree. It was silent and unmoved.
But Mo Guyuan still didn't dare to take it lightly, fearing that this person was hiding it on purpose, just waiting for him to let down his guard so that he could stab someone in the dark.
What's also puzzling to Mo Guyuan is that the aura before was clearly extremely majestic and turbulent. He could even conclude that his cultivation level must be higher than his own, and he didn't know how many levels higher. Why was he indifferent now?
The Xuanyuan swords screamed, and the green light was dazzling. Under the combined light, they were no weaker than the fusang tree.
"Since you won't take action, then I'm not polite. Mo Guyuan, let's go first. It's just a tree anyway. If you chop it down, just chop it down." The moon and stars flew up and fell directly towards the body of the fusang tree. .
Mo Guyuan gave a bitter smile, but he did not dare to disobey. He raised his sword, and the Xuanyuan Sword swept down with infinite sword energy.
The strong wind blew against my face, the big trees were swaying, and the green leaves were flying, sweeping across the entire cave underground.
After just one encounter, the hibiscus tree was already withered and on the verge of falling.
"It doesn't look good. We've cut down the trees. Why don't you dare to come out to see people?"
After saying that, Yu Qinggong cooperated with Mo Guyuan to launch a second round of offensive.
But at this moment, another voice sounded from the hibiscus tree.
"Young fellow Taoist, don't do anything yet. The fusang tree is really going to fall, and the entire Tongtian Peak will collapse. I'm afraid you and I will be buried here by then."
This voice is gentle and gentle, making people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze.
