"Ten thousand years... my old bear is finally back..."
On the side, Xiong Shanjun had tears in his eyes, and even knelt on the ground with his whole body, stroking and kissing the soil on the ground with his hands.
He has spent his whole life on Yunding Mountain, and the hundreds of years in Heifeng Mountain in the Green Underworld are just a short stay in his life. Only here, only Yunding Mountain, is his real home as Lord Xiongshan.
Ye Jin understood Xiong Shanjun's emotions, so he did not urge him. Instead, he stood aside silently and observed the surroundings.
The entire Yunding Mountain is the calmest among all the secret places in the Yunding Heavenly Palace.
It is also the place least damaged by war.
In other words, due to the existence of the ancient hidden war, Yunding Mountain was not devastated by the demon war at all, so all places were preserved intact.
The only pity is that the ancestor of the Earth Immortal does not seem to have the habit of collecting fairy grass and elixirs. The flowers, plants and trees around Yunding Mountain are just ordinary grass and trees, unlike the Medicine King Immortal from the Medicine King Palace, who has also developed a spiritual mountain alone. The medicine garden is specially used to grow natural materials and earthly treasures.
After a cup of tea, Mr. Xiongshan came back from his excitement and came over with an embarrassed look on his face. He cupped his fists apologetically and said:
"It's a joke to tell the mountain leader."
"It's not in the way, it's just human nature."
Ye Jin shook his head indifferently, and then asked: "Are the ginseng fruit trees on the top of the mountain?"
Xiongshanjun's eyes were still slightly red after he had regained consciousness. Hearing the monkey demon's question, he nodded and replied angrily:
"Yes, the ginseng fruit tree is in the Taoist temple on the mountain."
Ye Jin's heart moved after hearing this.
Taoist temple?
Wuzhuangguan?
However, this ancient hidden formation was really impressive. Anyway, Ye Jin stood at the foot of the mountain and used the Earthshaman Technique.
Not to mention fairy energy, there are almost no magical powers at the elixir level. It looks like a very ordinary and inconspicuous mountain peak.
"Shan leader, please follow me, and please don't be too far away from me, otherwise it will be easy to get lost in the formation."
Mr. Xiongshan didn’t talk too much nonsense and spoke straightforwardly.
Ye Jin nodded and nodded:
"please."
So Xiong Shanjun was in front, Ye Jin was behind, about three to five steps behind, and they followed each other step by step on the way up the mountain.
While following Xiong Shanjun, Ye Jin did not miss the use of Earth Sha Technique and Tongyou, secretly searching for traces of the formation restriction in the mountain.
Of course, nothing was found. If the ancient formation was so easy to find, Ye Jin would not have used up many powerful weapons to find an ancient formation in Loulan Ruins Bay.
On the way up the mountain, Ye Jin didn't notice anything unusual at first.
But as he gradually deepened, Xiongshanjun took him all the way around, and sometimes there was even a train of thought in front of him, but as he got closer, another mountain road appeared inexplicably.
What's even more weird is that this mountain road appears extremely natural, without any trace of the formation, as if there is a mountain road here from beginning to end.
But Ye Jin was sure that the mountain road had never appeared before approaching this mountain road.
This scene is not uncommon and even happens from time to time.
Mountain roads appear one after another. It is obvious that Xiong Shanjun has engraved the road up the mountain into his bones. Every step he takes is extremely natural and casual, and there is a vague hint of Taoist plum blossoms.
The entire journey was in silence, and Ye Jin didn't ask too much. She followed Xiong Shanjun and moved towards the top of the mountain step by step.
He didn't ask stupid questions like why he didn't just fly up.
Because it is obvious that it is impossible to fly to Yunding Mountain by flying alone.
On the way, Ye Jin even saw one or two demon corpses.
Obviously, during the war between demons and demons that broke out in Yunding Realm, it was not that there were no demons who accidentally teleported to the secret realm of Yunding Mountain.
Judging from the desperate state of death of the corpses, these demons were probably trapped and died here alive.
The pace of the two demons was not slow, and they walked quickly. After about an hour, the top of the mountain was already in sight.
When the last mountain road appeared in front of Ye Jin, the seemingly ordinary green mountain in front of him gave Ye Jin a different feeling in an instant.
The rich fairy spirit almost filled the entire mountain top, and the scene in the mountain seemed completely different at this moment.
Ye Jin looked at this scene with some shock, and those words had already appeared in his mind:
The vast ocean is under control, and the tide surges into the caves of silver mountain fish; in Weining Yaohai, the waves turn over the snow and the mirages leave the abyss.
There are strange rocks on the red cliffs, and strange peaks cut off the walls; the colorful phoenixes sing twice, and the unicorn lies alone.
Waterfalls and springs fly, the air-conditioning divides the green mountains, and the remaining water moistens the green hills.
All that is left is the ten characters "Huaguoshan Blessed Land, Shuiliandong Cave" engraved on a stone tablet.
"What a fairy scene!"
After looking at it for a long time, Ye Jin couldn't help but praise it.
The little ginseng spirit on the shoulder also shouted "wow wow" excitedly. For spirits like it, the more beautiful and magnificent the mountain scenery is, the happier they are.
Xiong Shanjun on the side showed no surprise when he heard this, with an expression of pride.
When the Yunding Twelve Immortals visited Yunding Mountain, they all boasted about the scenery at the top of the mountain.
But what Xiong Shanjun didn't know was that what Ye Jin was praising was that the green mountain in front of him was very much like the Huaguo Mountain in Ye Jin's imagination in his previous life.
"Shan leader, please follow me. The Taoist Palace is not far ahead."
Xiong Shanjun waited for a while, and then invited him.
"please."
Ye Jin nodded slightly and went along happily.
After walking behind Mr. Xiongshan for a while, the winding road in front of me came into view, and a magnificent palace came into view.
It occupies half of the top of Yunding Peak, is 100 meters high, and has a simple and majestic shape. The whole body seems to be made of red copper, with gold in the red, with carved beams and painted pillars, and the shadow of a real dragon winding around it, holding beads in its mouth. The ground is like a landscape, as if there are clouds and mist floating in it, and a white tiger is lying on it, as if it is snoring.
It stands to reason that such a magnificent palace should be visible at a glance from the foot of the mountain.
But it wasn't until Ye Jin completely reached the top of the mountain that the Taoist palace truly came into Ye Jin's sight.
On the gate of the palace, there is a plaque hanging high. On the plaque, there are three large seal characters written in flying dragons and phoenixes:
Wuzhuang Palace!
Xiong Shanjun's voice also sounded at the right time, and he spoke with a slightly proud tone:
"Master Shan, welcome to Wuzhuang Palace!"
Ye Jin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth after hearing this.
Wuzhuang Temple...Wuzhuang Hall...
He finally understood the bad taste of Zhenyuan Great Immortal, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals.
Compared with the natural Wuzhuang Temple in the world of Journey to the West, the Wuzhuang Palace in front of you is much more glorious and majestic.
After Xiong Shanjun said this invitation proudly, he ran to the door of Wuzhuang Hall with excitement and expectation, stretched out his hands, and carefully supported the door, as if he was afraid of breaking the door.
But in fact, this Taoist palace is a whole. In Ye Jin's opinion, it is not inferior to a Xuantian Lingbao or even a Tongtian Lingbao. How could it be broken so easily.
Xiong Shanjun looked like this, it was just a cowardice of being close to home.
I saw Xiong Shanjun pushing open the door with great expectation.
"Zhizhizhi——"
The door slowly opened, and Xiong Shanjun stepped in excitedly and shouted:
"Master! I'm back!"
However.
The whole palace was quiet and silent.
There was no sound except for the cry of Tiger Bear that echoed in the mountains.
Obviously, Immortal Zhenyuan has never returned to Yunding Mountain in these ten thousand years.
After a long time, Xiong Shanjun walked out of the hall with a lonely look on his face and came to the side of the monkey demon. He said listlessly with an indescribable dejection in his tone:
"Head of the mountain, please come with me."
Ye Jin didn't know how to say anything to comfort him, so he could only nodded and followed Xiong Shanjun.
"The ginseng fruit tree is in the back garden."
I followed Mr. Xiongshan into the palace, bypassed a winding corridor, and came to an empty courtyard.
The fairy spirit here is the strongest.
Even with a breath, you can feel the transparency of your body.
Ye Jin even felt that if he practiced here, he would be able to reach the perfection of transformation in less than a hundred years!
Soon, Ye Jin set his sights on a fruit tree in the courtyard.
Huh, the breeze blows, bringing vitality.
Directly in front of him, he saw a large tree about ten feet tall, with gnarled branches, skin like dragon scales, and needles like jasper.
In the whole big tree, a three-inch-sized fairy fruit, which looks like a curled up baby, hangs alone on the top of the big tree.
The moment she saw this fairy fruit, Ye Jin knew that this fairy fruit was the legendary [ginseng fruit] that "falls when it encounters gold, withers when it encounters wood, melts when it encounters water, burns when it encounters fire, and enters when it encounters soil." ]!
I don't know if it's because the ginseng essence was born out of the ginseng fruit, so in Ye Jin's opinion, the little face of this ginseng fruit seems to be 60-70% similar to the ginseng essence.
On the shoulder, the little ginseng spirit also looked at the ginseng fruit with a curious look on his face. After looking at it for a long time, he wrinkled his face and said:
"So ugly."
Ye Jin ignored it, but looked at Xiong Shanjun aside and said:
"What should we do now?"
Although Ye Jin's cultivation level is not high, he can vaguely feel that this ginseng fruit is about to mature.
Xiong Shanjun answered honestly: "I only need to complete the fusion of ginseng essence and ginseng fruit. When the fusion is completed, my mission will be completed."
Ye Jin nodded after hearing this, and then stared at Xiong Shanjun with burning eyes:
"My dear king, after the ginseng essence is fused with the ginseng fruit, the ginseng essence is still the ginseng essence, right?"
Although this sentence was convoluted, Ye Jin believed that Xiong Shanjun understood what he meant.
If Ginseng Guo wanted to subvert his power and use the body of Ginseng Essence to survive, Ye Jin would never agree.
Even if the ginseng essence itself is made from ginseng fruit, that is absolutely not possible.
Feeling the unconcealed threat and murderous intention in the monkey demon's words, even though he was once a Dharma Demon Saint, Xiong Shanjun also felt a biting coldness. Faced with the monkey demon's burning gaze, Xiong Shanjun said quickly:
"Don't worry, Chief Mountain Leader! The ginseng essence and the ginseng fruit are one. After fusion, the ginseng essence will only get huge benefits, and there will definitely be no accidents!"
Ye Jin squinted her eyes and stared at Mr. Xiong Tiger for a long time, until she saw that Mr. Xiong's face turned pale and his scalp was numb, then he smiled and said gently:
"Okay! I believe in you! I also hope that you will not betray my trust in you."
"sure."
Xiong Shanjun nodded and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Then, as if he thought of something, Xiong Shanjun looked solemn and spoke solemnly:
"But there is something I would like to ask the leader of the mountain to know."
Seeing Xiong Shanjun's serious expression, Ye Jin also retracted her thoughts and said seriously:
"you say."
Just listen to Xiong Shanjun’s serious words:
"So that the leader of the mountain will know that once the ginseng essence and ginseng fruit begin to fuse, the ginseng fruit will inevitably mature in advance. By then, there will definitely be a big miracle in the world. By then, even if there is something left by the owner on the mountain, The concealment formation... I'm afraid it can't cover up the traces of Yunding Mountain..."
"It would be fine in normal times, but at this moment, if a strange phenomenon occurs, I'm afraid..."
Speaking of this, Xiong Shanjun did not say any more, and the result was naturally self-evident.
At this time, the Heavenly Demon Realm is invading, and it seems that the Yunding Heavenly Palace will become the bridgehead for the Heavenly Demon Realm to invade the Green Underworld.
Once a strange phenomenon occurs in Yunding Mountain, and the ancient concealment formation cannot cover it up.
By that time, the entire Yunding Mountain will inevitably become lost in the eyes of demons.
Like a lighthouse in the dark night, it shines brightly.
Ye Jin could almost imagine that there would be endless demons coming towards Yunding Mountain.
Thinking of the endless wave of demons, even Ye Jin felt a huge pressure.
But the only good news is that there are not too many demons pouring into Yunding Heavenly Palace at present. If more and more demons pour into Yunding Heavenly Palace later, even if the Five Elements Ruyi Stick masters the method of killing, he can only It is to avoid its edge.
Ye Jin looked calm and did not show any signs of panic. This calm attitude made Xiong Shanjun, who secretly observed the expression of the monkey demon, secretly praise him.
How many people face endless monsters and remain calm?
Ye Jin didn't know what Xiong Shanjun was thinking, so he calmly said:
"How long does it take to fuse?"
This is a matter of life and death, and nothing can be done carelessly.
If the fusion time is too long, no matter how precious the ginseng fruit is, Ye Jin will have to give up. After all, once too many demons gather, even he will not be able to survive.
"At most three days!"
Xiongshanjun, who understood the meaning of the monkey demon, also decisively said a number.
"Three days..."
Ye Jin thought, then his eyes narrowed:
"Three days are three days. If the three days are up and the fusion is not over yet, no matter what the result is, it must be terminated immediately and leave with the little ginseng essence."
"good!"
Xiong Shanjun understood the seriousness of the matter and nodded seriously.
Seeing Xiong Shanjun agree, Ye Jin looked at the little ginseng spirit on her shoulder, who had been obedient and silent, and said warmly:
"Go ahead and just take a nap."
Although Xiao Shen Jing is a child at heart, she can still see the seriousness of the situation, and her little face can't help but worry:
"Brother Monkey, how about we forget it..."
Ye Jin smiled, stretched out his fingers, rubbed Xiao Ginseng Jing's little head, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Brother Monkey is responsible for everything."
