The dim yellow light disappeared.
On the stone-pressed floor was a small piece of wood, a wooden stake to be precise, pressed into the floor, almost flush with it. The wooden pile was all green and crystal clear, like emerald, with runes vaguely flowing inside.
This is the first time Ning Tao has seen such wood.
He is the "bad old man" in Fox Princess's mouth.
It is wood, but not just any wood, it is a sacred wood.
Ning Tao didn't bother to talk to this "bad old man". He raised his voice and said, "Xiao Ji, are you okay over there?"
He always puts his women in the most important position, which is why he deserves to marry so many beautiful wives.
Fox Princess's voice came in: "The light has disappeared, can I come in?"
Ning Tao said: "Come in."
There was nothing going on at Fox Lady's side. He corked the bottle of the Great Sun Gourd and his eyes fell on the small section of the sacred tree.
At this moment, the sacred tree slowly rose up.
Ning Tao subconsciously took a step back and called tentatively: "Senior?"
Shenmu didn't respond.
Fox Queen walked in from the door and came to Ning Tao's side. She stood side by side with him and looked at the sacred tree that was slowly rising up. Her eyes were full of surprise: "It is..."
"Hahaha... That's right!" Shenzhou's voice sounded in the captain's room, "I am Shenzhou! After so many years... I am finally free... Hahaha!"
This time Ning Tao finally discovered that the sound came from the sacred tree, and then spread to different places, giving people the illusion that people were talking from all directions.
"Senior, why were you suppressed by that rock? I saw a lot of wounds on the boat. Were you attacked by someone?" Ning Tao asked.
Shenzhou did not answer immediately.
The sacred tree stopped growing at the same height as the compass. Leaf buds grew out of the sacred tree, then branched out, and a leg of green branches wrapped around the compass. There were also some branches growing close to the floor, and soon spread to the feet of Ning Tao and Hu Ji, who hurriedly backed away.
swish swish...
A thin voice sounded.
Ning Tao followed the sound and saw tree roots spreading on the floor and walls, and even penetrated and spread to other places.
This is a ship, but it is also a tree!
A natural thing becomes a spirit and transforms into a boat. It is a divine boat!
Just when Ning Tao and Hu Ji were looking left and right, inexplicably surprised, a human face appeared on the sacred tree, full of wrinkles and extremely old.
It is indeed "old man".
"Senior, who were you attacked by?" Ning Tao asked again. He was curious about everything about this ship.
The human face on the sacred tree spoke: "This is a long story..."
Fox Ji said: "Senior, it's okay, we have plenty of time now."
This is what Ning Tao wanted to say.
Shenzhou continued: "I was originally a natural tree on the sacred mountain. I was protected by the gods in the sacred mountain. I practiced with great concentration and slowly became a spirit. Then I practiced to what I am now. Gods If you are kind to me, I will turn into a boat to repay my kindness. If a god wants to go somewhere, I will give him a ride. One day, a goddess from the aboriginal world of the fairy world wants to travel far, and I offer to take her there. , she said she would go back to get something and leave... "
Aren’t the aborigines of the fairy world talking about heavenly beings
Hearing this, Ning Tao suddenly thought of a celestial being among the gods, Himiya. When he interrogated Arisias, Arisias said that the current immortal king of the gods was a descendant of Himea, named Philips. At that time, he was still very surprised. When he fought against Xemiah in the Shenxu, Xemiah was just an immortal who was on par with him. How could he become a god? Now Shenzhou suddenly mentioned the aboriginal goddess, and he immediately thought of Himia.
"Senior." Ning Tao couldn't help but interrupt Shenzhou, "Let me ask, is the aboriginal goddess you mentioned called Himia?"
Shenzhou's voice seemed a little surprised: "You actually know her? She is known as the goddess of wisdom and has extremely high divine status on the sacred mountain."
Ning Tao was immediately confused.
When Arisias said that Himia was a goddess, he didn't believe it yet, but when the same thing came from Shenzhou's mouth, he had to believe it.
That super long-legged woman actually became a god
And she is also a goddess of wisdom with extremely high divine status!
But if you think about it carefully, you can understand such a thing.
Celestial Beings combined cultivation and technology to create a unique Celestial Being civilization. As the best celestial being, it is not impossible for Himya to become a god once he attains enlightenment.
"Then she...is she dead?" Ning Tao asked again.
Shenzhou said: "You have to listen to me explain this in detail."
Ning Tao reacted with embarrassment: "Senior, please tell me."
Shenzhou continued: "That day, I followed Goddess Himia to her Temple of Wisdom. She entered the temple, and I was waiting outside. But after a long time, she didn't come out. I was about to go in. Look, before I could get in, the sacred mountain began to collapse, and her temple was destroyed..."
Ning Tao couldn't help but construct a picture of the collapse of the sacred mountain in his mind. He wanted to interrupt and ask if the sacred mountain was still there, but he finally endured it and did not interrupt Shenzhou's words.
"At that time, the stone flew out of the ruins of the temple in Himea and hit me... I fell from the sacred mountain and landed in the fairy world. The stone was so damaged that the creatures in the valley Everything was turned into stone by it. It also wanted to control me and seize my body. But I was born as a tree and grew up on a sacred mountain. I just kept fighting with it if it wanted to seize my body. Until now... I am getting weaker and weaker. Fortunately, you came and helped me, and I was saved from the fate of being turned into stone. If you think about it, this is simply God's will!" Shenzhou finished.
Ning Tao then spoke: "Senior, in other words... the stone I took away flew out of the temple of Himiya?"
Shenzhou said: "Yes, it caused me so much misery, it's impossible for me not to remember it."
"Is the sacred mountain still there?" Fox Ji also asked.
"The Holy Mountain... I don't know. I only remember that the ground was shaking, and then it fell here. The stone penetrated the hull of my boat, then suppressed me, and then sealed this place." Shenzhou said .
Ning Tao said: "The stone wants to take away the senior's home. Could it be that it wants to go to the place where Xemia is going? Where is Xemia going?"
He vaguely smelled an unusual scent, but he wasn't sure what it was.
Shenzhou said: "I don't know about this. Goddess Himia didn't tell me where she was going at that time, but I guessed it must be a very far away place, otherwise she wouldn't have asked me to help."
That trace of breath was nowhere to be found again.
Ning Tao's curiosity was not satisfied, so he asked again: "Senior, you have been fighting with that stone for so many years. Do you really not know what it is?"
Shenzhou said: "Didn't I tell you, you are more verbose than your woman, I will say it for the last time, I don't know!" Ning Tao: "..."
Fox Lady was unhappy again: "Senior, my husband and I risked our lives to save you. You just escaped from trouble, and you have this attitude towards my husband. Is this burning the bridge?"
Shenzhou said: "I didn't ask you to help me in vain. I promised you that I would help you die ten times. I will do what I say. This is what I say. Do you like to hear it or not?"
Fox Princess: "..."
This Shenzhou really has a bad temper.
Ning Tao smiled: "Senior, my wife has the same temper as you, don't be surprised... Well, senior, do you know Buri Xingjun?"
"Not Mr. Sun Star?"
"Yes." Ning Tao nodded.
Shenzhou said: "That's a big murderer. Everyone is afraid of him on the sacred mountain, including me. I don't dare to get close to him. I know very little about him, but I know that he died before the accident on the sacred mountain. It's inexplicable. He died, and even his body was not found.”
Ning Tao was silent for a moment before saying: "Senior, to be honest, I am the successor of Buri Xingjun. I have found the body of Buri Xingjun. I will take his body to the sacred mountain for burial according to his last wish. Senior, can you help me climb the mountain?"
Shenzhou said: "The sacred mountain cannot be entered except by the gods. This is not a scary statement. If a god like you goes to the sacred mountain, it may trigger the divine calamity in advance. If you are not cultivated enough, you will most likely die on the sacred mountain."
Ning Tao felt disappointed. He originally thought that by saving the Shenzhou, he could go to the sacred mountain to fulfill the last wish of Lord Furi, but he did not expect that there would be such a risk.
Shenzhou said: "Besides, I can't return to the Shenshan Mountain yet. I have been severely injured and will need to be replenished for a while before I can fly."
Ning Tao asked: "Senior, what supplements do you need to take to recover as soon as possible?"
Shenzhou said: "The spiritual energy between heaven and earth, the spiritual energy of various spiritual materials, of course it would be great if there were divine crystals. In that case, I will recover quickly."
Ning Tao's heart moved, and he was about to speak, but Fox Lady beat him to it. She said calmly: "Well, it just so happens that my husband can collect soul energy and refine the divine crystal."
"Really?" Shenzhou suddenly became excited.
Ning Tao didn't say anything and simply let Hu Ji do the talking.
Men just do things, women are better at bargaining.
Fox Princess said slowly: "Senior, if my husband saves your life and uses the divine crystal to nourish you, wouldn't you think that ten drives are too few?"
"No, I think it's very suitable." Shenzhou said.
Ning Tao: "..."
Fox Ji said: "Then you can take your time to collect the supplements. Anyway, my husband is not in a hurry to go to the sacred mountain. When he becomes a god in the future, he will be able to go to the sacred mountain by himself without your help."
"Then what do you want?" Shenzhou obviously wanted the divine crystal.
Divine crystals are not only needed by gods for energy, but also for divine weapons. The Cauldron of Good and Evil is an example. It can do anything for the divine crystals.
Fox Ji thought for a moment before saying, "Follow my husband."
"Hahaha..." Shenzhou laughed loudly, "I am a natural tree. I was born in the sacred mountain and grew up in the sacred mountain. I am a natural artifact. You actually want me to follow an immortal? Really..."
"Husband, let's go for a walk." Fox Ji held Ning Tao's hand.
Ning Tao actually didn't want to leave, but he also knew that she was fighting for his best interests, so he could only cooperate with her.
Hu Ji and Ning Tao had just turned around and before they reached the door, Shenzhou's voice came over: "I have never followed any gods, and I am no exception now, but... I don't dislike you, and I can accept you as my adopted sons. How about the adopted daughter?"
Ning Tao: "..."
Fox Princess: "..."
