Eternal Tranquility

The elusive Dushuo Mountain finally revealed its true face. At a glance, there are thousands of cliffs and many mountains, just like a ladder that is constantly climbing up. One peak is higher than the other, until the highest point is deep into the clouds, majestic and mysterious.

But on the nearby cliff, there is a beautiful and beautiful scenery, with dense water vapor lingering on the mountainside, and little bits of sunshine falling on the looming green branches and leaves. Although it was the time of the blood moon, the sky was a rare blue sky during the day. Most of the strong blood energy from last night had also dissipated, and it was completely impossible to see that there was an innate ghost peach tree that attracted ghosts.

"Is this Dushuo Mountain? It really has the aura of a fairy mountain."

"We finally found it! I didn't expect that we actually found it. It's not easy, it's not easy!"

"Yes, I have been missing Luan'er Wine in Jinxiu Tower in Eagle's Nest City for decades, and I can finally return to Yunmengze."

"Haha, just pull it off. You don't miss Luan'er wine, but the girl in the building..."

Everyone on the Yunzhou gathered at the side of the cabin, feeling extremely moved by the huge mountain peak that was getting closer and closer.

They crossed the interface, passed through many dangers, and shouldered a heavy task. Their search for year after year with no hope, thousands of miles away from Yunmengze, finally had a result today.

Kuhai asked Cuixu: "Are the other teams on their way here?"

Cuixu held the water mirror and looked at it: "The team closest to the south will probably arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The other three teams are far and near. This blood moon will last about ten days. I will let the team farthest away. That team went to the Cliff of Repentance and paid close attention to the movements of the monks in this world."

Kuhai muttered: "That's fine. Our trip has just begun. The most dangerous time will be when the ghost gate opens later. We must leave some people to go back and report the news."

His tone was extremely calm, but the meaning behind his words revealed their true situation now.

Opening the gate of hell and releasing thousands of evil ghosts, how can one escape so easily...

When Liu Zhenwu next to him heard this, he knocked on his pipe and blew out a puff of smoke, making it difficult to see the expression on the old face. He turned sideways and looked at Liu Qinghuan, who was silent at the other end.

Liu Qinghuan's eyes were lowered. He neither looked at Dushuo Mountain, which he was about to arrive at, nor joined the conversations of the people around him. His expression was as calm as if this was just an ordinary afternoon.

In fact, most of Liu Qinghuan's attention was focused on his own spiritual world.

A few days ago, the Sanmulberry tree that had been sleeping for many years finally "awoke". With its guidance and help, Liu Qinghuan sensed the misty innate wood energy and found Dushuo Mountain. However, now that it was approaching the mountain, it shrank back again, as if it was afraid or hiding from something.

However, Liu Qinghuan can now feel some of the emotions conveyed by the three mulberry trees. In addition to fear, there are also excitement, excitement, and eagerness to try!

He was a little confused and secretly speculated that all of this might be related to the innate ghost peach tree. However, although the three mulberry trees are sacred trees, they are still in the seedling stage, while the ghost peach trees have long been mature trees. There is a huge gap between the two, and I don't know what it wants to do.

Thinking of the time when he was washing the treasure pool, Sansangmu rushed straight to the bottom of the pool as if he had taken medicine, causing him to almost freeze to death, and he couldn't help but shudder.

It seems that I should pay more attention to it in the future to avoid being caught off guard again.

"...Huan, Qinghuan!"

Liu Qinghuan came back to her senses: "Huh?"

Yun Zheng glanced at him: "What are you thinking about? Get ready to get off the boat!"

Liu Qinghuan raised his head and realized that Yunzhou was very close to Dushuo Mountain.

He brushed his sleeves and looked at Mu Yinyin: "Yinyin?"

Mu Yinyin's face was still a little pale, and she smiled lightly when she heard this: "Don't worry, my injury is no longer serious."

Liu Qinghuan sighed secretly, the injuries caused by the fourth-level monster could not be healed in just two or three days, but it was useless to say more at this time. He just said: "You two should follow me closely from now on. The safety of this place is unknown and dangerous. It’s hard to predict, so be careful.”

Mu Yinyin nodded obediently, and Yun Zheng snorted and said, "Look how proud you are! You just ran ahead of me for a moment, wait! I will attack Nascent Soul when I get back this time."

Liu Qinghuan laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll first wish you a successful pregnancy."

While the two were talking, Yunzhou finally landed on the outermost hilltop and stopped firmly.

Everything that should be said had been said before, Cuixu just waved his hand calmly: "Let's go down."

Everyone who looked a little excited flew off the Yunzhou one after another, and finally stood on Dushuo Mountain with their feet on the ground.

At this time, Liu Zhenwu walked over with his hands behind his back and asked: "Fellow Daoist Liu, can you sense the location of the innate ghost peach tree? We can just go there directly."

Liu Qinghuan summoned Chu Yi and said calmly: "I'm really sorry. After entering the range of Dushuo Mountain, the strong wood energy here disturbed my senses, so I couldn't find the location of the ghost peach tree."

"That's troublesome, it's so big here." Liu Zhenwu raised his head and looked around: "We have never seen what the innate sacred tree is. If it is hidden in the dense forest, how can we find it?"

Liu Qinghuan frowned and saw Yun Zheng touching the head of Chu Yi, whom he had not seen for a long time, while looking sideways at Liu Zhenwu and said impatiently: "Why don't you wait here all the time, and we will call you when we find him?"

"Haha." Liu Zhenwu laughed dryly and said, "Little friend Yun really loves to joke, I just say a few words in vain."

As he spoke, he turned his head and went to talk to others. .

Liu Qinghuan stared at his back, thinking of something, her expression darkened a little.

"This old guy!" Yun Zheng said, "It seems we have to be careful about what he does behind his back."

Liu Qinghuan had already made some speculations about this person's purpose, but he made up his mind and told Mu Yinyin and Yunzheng: "Well, don't be alone when the time comes."

After everyone rested for a while, Cuixu and Kuhai came over. The four Nascent Soul monks gathered together to discuss what to do, and finally decided not to separate for the time being, and to go and explore first.

The first year of junior high school has not come out for a long time, and it looks quite happy. Its strong limbs are constantly stepping on the ground, and it can't wait to fly out.

Following the command, it spread its white wings and rushed out with the three people on its back.

A taller green mountain passed by underfoot. From time to time, someone in the group exclaimed that they had seen some kind of precious elixir. Fortunately, everyone still remembered what the most important task at the moment was, otherwise they would have pounced on it long ago. Go down and find some ghost peach tree.

Mountain after mountain, as the mountains become steeper and steeper, the clouds and mist in the mountains gradually thicken, forming a sea of ​​clouds, and the scenery becomes more and more magnificent. However, there are strands of coldness coming from nowhere, wrapping around the limbs and bones like gangrene, which is completely out of proportion to the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Slowly, the excited conversation died down until it was silent. The atmosphere became very depressing, and everyone felt that the scene in front of them was getting weirder and weirder, and they just drove away the cold feeling that kept coming over them over and over again.

Mu Yinyin frowned and whispered: "It's so strange. In such a long time, I didn't see a monster, not even ordinary seabirds landed on the island."

Liu Qinghuan said: "Not only that, the trees on this island look like green onions, but their branches and leaves are faintly white. This phenomenon only occurs in places with extremely heavy Yin Qi."

Turning his head, he asked: "Yunzheng, have you discovered anything?"

Yun Zheng had been observing carefully along the way. From time to time, he would draw a few strokes in the air with his fingers and murmur a few words, as if he was calculating something. As time passed, the corners of the mouth that were usually raised became straightened, and the invisible awe became stronger and stronger.

He just shook his head, his expression became more solemn, but he did not answer.

Liu Qinghuan saw this and knew it was bad, so he couldn't help but be extremely vigilant.

…

Although Dushuo Mountain is not small, considering that all of them are monks above the Golden Core level, two hours is enough to cover the whole island, but in the end, there is no trace of that ghost peach tree!

Everyone stopped on the highest mountain peak where the ghost peach tree most likely grew, and looked at each other.

"It shouldn't be." Kuhai hugged his wine gourd, and the mellow aroma of the strong liquor made people feel warm in their hearts. He said in confusion: "Let alone the ghost peach tree, we didn't even find an ordinary peach tree."

Liu Zhenwu said: "Could it be that this is not Dushuo Mountain, but just an ordinary island?"

Liu Qinghuan glanced at him and said coldly: "I don't understand what Liu Daoyou said. Are you saying that I took everyone to the wrong place?"

Liu Zhenwu spread his hands helplessly and said, "I didn't say that, fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me."

"Okay, now is not the time to quarrel." Cuixu said: "I believe Fellow Daoist Liu, this must be Dushuo Mountain, but the innate ghost peach tree is most likely hidden by the formation."

He turned his head and looked at Yun Zheng: "Little friend Yun, have you found any traces of the formation?"

Yun Zheng retracted his gaze from looking at the distant mountains and said expressionlessly: "If I'm not mistaken, this place uses the mountains and earth veins to set up the Shuiyin Earth Demon Sealing Demon Array."

Seeing that everyone was still confused, Yunzheng was too lazy to care about them and murmured: "The people who set up the formation at the beginning were very smart. The innate ghost peach tree needs a lot of earthly Yin energy. Although Dushuo Mountain is on the sea, Water belongs to Yin, and the Yin energy is very strong, which can completely meet the needs of the ghost peach tree... plus the mountain is full of the sea, so there is no chance that the land will be exhausted..."

There was a long explanation about formations at the end, which made everyone confused.

Kuhai shouted: "Ah, you, a junior of the Yun family, don't talk about those clouds and mountains, just talk about how to break the Lao Shizi Demon Sealing Formation."

Yunzheng gave a weird smile: "No need to break it."

"No need to break it?"

"What's the meaning?"

Others were even more confused, and heard him look up at the sky and say inexplicably: "It's getting dark."

The daylight in the Yinyue Blood Realm is extremely short. At this time, the setting sun is like blood. The dim sunlight can no longer convey the warmth it should have. Instead, it is like a knife dipped in snow. When it pierces the human body, it only brings more and more warmth. A cold feeling.

Liu Qinghuan had no choice but to ask the doubts on behalf of others: "Yunzheng, why don't you break the formation?"

Yun Zheng withdrew his gaze: "We are already in the formation now, so there is no need to break the formation. And in half an hour at most, when the blood moon rises, this mountain will become a ghostland."

"What!"

Several exclamations came out at the same time, and fear appeared on the faces of the three golden elixir monks.

"Ghost Realm!" Liu Zhenwu took a step forward with a gloomy face, and the pressure of the Yuanying monks was instantly released, forcing him to Yunzheng: "Explain clearly, what ghost realm?"

Liu Qinghuan's expression changed, he took a step forward, blocked Yun Zheng behind him, and shouted: "Liu Zhenwu, what do you want to do!"

Yun Zheng pushed him away, and an icy blue sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Senhan Ruyuan's sword intent rushed back, resisting Liu Zhenwu's pressure.

He raised his eyes and smiled at the corner of his mouth, but the smile was colder than the edge of a knife: "The innate ghost peach tree is born to attract all kinds of ghosts and monsters. Is it strange that this place will become a ghost land?"

Liu Zhenwu was so cold when he laughed that he couldn't help but take a step back.

"Okay, okay." Kuhai stood between the two parties, raised his eyebrows and said: "Friend Liu Dao, it is not the behavior of a gentleman to bully a small person with a big one, so please stop the pressure."

He turned around and said politely: "Then, little friend Yun, what do you think we should do now?"

When Yun Zheng saw Liu Zhenwu retreating to the side, he also put away his sword and said in a gentler tone: "Thank you, senior. We are here for the innate ghost peach tree, so what about the ghost realm, can we not break into it? Besides, , it’s too late for us to quit now.”

Everyone else became nervous. No one thought that they would have to deal with the ghost realm before the ghost gate was opened.

Cuixu waved his fly whisk and said, "Let's retreat to the periphery first. Maybe we can buy more time and see the situation clearly before discussing anything else."

Without saying much, the group left the highest mountain and hurried to the outskirts.

Before reaching the beach, the sky turned completely dark, as if someone suddenly covered the sky with a black cloth, and three full moons jumped out of the sea.

In an instant, blood burst into the sky, and the beautiful scenery turned into a blood pool hell!

Liu Qinghuan's heart palpitated, and she suddenly looked up, only to see ghostly shadows deep in Dushuo Mountain, stretching in all directions at an extremely terrifying speed, covering the sky like a spider web. When I got closer, I realized that they were all tangled branches growing together. They were so dense and thick that even the blood-colored moonlight was completely blocked.

Everyone screamed in shock, and one Jindan monk almost fell off his flying sword.

After the man stabilized himself, he said with a white face: "What the hell is this!"

Liu Qinghuan said in a deep voice: "The innate ghost peach tree is said to have a curve of three thousand miles, and its branches and leaves can cover the sky and the sun."

"Three thousand miles?!"

However, today, the ghost peach tree obviously does not intend to really stretch for three thousand miles. The branches completely cover the entire Dushuo Mountain, and then cover an area of ​​​​the sea before continuing to stretch.

But even if it's just this, it's extremely amazing.

"Is this a sacred tree?" Liu Zhenwu murmured, his cloudy old eyes shot out a bright and penetrating light, and said: "Hahaha, it is indeed magical! If I can also have one..."

He paused and concealed his excited gaffe: "Everyone, this opportunity is not to be missed. As long as we have a small peach branch of the innate sacred tree, we will make a profit on this trip!"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Qinghuan's lips, and he finally determined why this person had been testing him in many ways along the way.
