Come to Xianglushan Tongxin Lake.
It was just Chen Yulou's impromptu idea.
Therefore, I did not decide to take the deer with me when I went down the mountain. I just left enough grass and well water and asked a few guys to take care of it.
But...
No one expected it.
They had just arrived at the foot of the mountain, and Bai Ze followed them on his own.
Looking across the lake at this moment, Chen Yulou pressed down on Old Uncle Jiu who was about to step forward. He shook his head secretly and intuitively told him that Bai Ze's move was no accident.
It should be guiding something.
Cave?
treasure?
Spiritual grass?
Or...a blessed land? !
Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, but no matter which one, it was an unexpected surprise for him.
"Oh, okay."
Old Uncle Jiu immediately retracted his step.
Although I don’t understand why, since Shao Zhangluo said this, it certainly makes sense.
The people around it didn't dare to breathe, even though they were nearly a hundred meters apart, but at this time, no one could care about anything else for fear of disturbing it.
"Yoyo——"
Bai Ze raised his head and called softly.
The ethereal sound of deer calls echoed throughout the valley.
The figure is hidden among the green mountains and mist, making it look indescribably quiet and mysterious.
It was like breaking into the territory of a deer.
Scenes only seen in paintings and calligraphy were suddenly projected into the real world.
Everything is unreal and unreal.
"Brother Chen...it seems to be calling you to come over?"
Listening to the voices of those ethereal illusions, Hua Ling frowned slightly, her little face was full of astonishment, and she suddenly walked lightly outside Chen Yulou and lowered her voice.
"Call me?"
Chen Yulou's heart moved.
Look intently.
When Bai Ze was chirping, it seemed that he was constantly nodding towards him, and a hint of anxiety could be seen in his clear eyes.
"Is it true?"
See this situation.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but think of all the things that happened before the spiritual seeds were planted in Luofu and Yuan Hong.
It seems so.
"Then you guys wait here, I'll go over and take a look."
Decide immediately.
Chen Yulou looked back at everyone, left a few words, then stood up and walked quickly towards the rocks where Bai Ze was.
Judging from the brief contact in the backyard of Dongting Temple, Bai Ze is very understanding of human nature, and the current situation is obviously not right.
Therefore, it is really possible for Hua Ling to guess it.
Among all the people, except for him, Hua Ling understands their thoughts the best because he has been collecting herbs in the mountains since he was a child and has been with herbs, herbs, grasses, and wild animals in the mountains.
Wait until he is halfway there.
Several guys who were responsible for looking after him also chased him all the way down the mountain.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou was worried that Bai Ze would be frightened, so he immediately waved his hands at a few people from a distance. Fortunately, several of the waiters thought quickly and stopped immediately.
He just looked over with a surprised look on his face.
Chen Yulou had no time to explain.
Slow down your energy and calm your mind so that it won't be frightened. Take a leisurely stroll and approach slowly.
Wait until he walks all the way outside the stalagmite-like rocks.
There was an expression in Bai Ze's eyes that could not tell whether it was appreciation or surprise. He nodded to him, and then jumped down from the hill into the swamp.
It is said that the deer moves with the crane.
Chen Yulou followed it all the way and finally understood the meaning of this word.
Except for the tiny hoof prints that look like plum blossoms.
There are almost no traces left in the swamp.
It seems like floating on water plants.
Along the way, Bai Ze would stop from time to time and turn his head to take a look, as if to confirm whether Chen Yulou was following.
The reason why Xianglu Mountain got its name.
It's because the valley is surrounded by towering cliffs, shaped like a furnace from bottom to top.
At this moment, the direction it pointed was clearly at the mouth of the furnace.
There are towering ancient trees and shrubs in that area, mixed with rocks, making it almost impossible to walk.
But Bai Ze had no intention of stopping.
He walked straight around a big tree outside the forest, and in an instant, his figure was obscured by the dense forest.
Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou didn't dare to hesitate. He subconsciously quickened his pace. Once he entered the forest, he felt as if he had entered an invisible barrier.
Sunlight pours down from the canopy of trees, beams of light falling on the thick fallen leaves.
Except for the slow footsteps of Bai Ze in front of him, there was almost no other sound, and the silence was terrifying.
The sound of gurgling water, the chirping of insects and birds, the sound of wind and waves, all disappeared in an instant.
It seemed like everyone was isolated from the outside.
Chen Yulou frowned slightly.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "Jianmen is dangerous in the world, Qingcheng is quiet in the world, Emei is beautiful in the world, and Jiuzhai is strange in the world".
I climbed Qingcheng Mountain in the middle of the night before, and I really saw the meaning of the words "the world is extremely quiet".
But...
Even Qingcheng seems to be far inferior to this place.
If it weren't for the crisp sound of broken leaves coming from under his feet and the warmth brought by the sun across his face, he would have doubted whether he had entered an imaginary space that blended in all directions.
Just like pulling out the top of the Immortal Platform, the Xuande Cave Heaven disappears in an instant.
Walking in it, he even felt like he couldn't tell the difference between reality and fantasy.
It's as if this kind of scene shouldn't exist in the world.
"Click - click!"
As Bai Ze walked through the ancient forest, the sound of fallen leaves being crushed beneath him kept coming.
finally.
I don’t know how long it will take.
The footsteps stopped suddenly.
Although the figure was obscured by dense forest shrubs, Chen Yulou seemed to be able to clearly detect its existence. He took a few steps forward and walked around the two ancient trees standing side by side, one on the left and one on the right, like a door.
You can see it when you look up.
Bai Ze was standing quietly under the forest.
There is a mountain spring gurgling by, and the mist floats from it, condensing but not dissipating.
And behind the swamp, there is a muddy swamp.
Chen Yulou's pupils dilated slightly, with shock and disbelief on his face. Looking along the line of sight, there were pairs of antlers standing in the mountains.
Light is scattered through the forest fog.
Make it look like a painting.
Lifelike, yet indescribably vague, with an indescribable cruel beauty, mysterious and distant, it made him feel as if time and space had been confused, and he returned to Long Mo Ye in the back hill of Maluzhai in an instant.
"It's not a cave, nor a blessed land."
"This is where the deer dies!"
Chen Yulou's heart trembled, and a word suddenly appeared in his mind.
It is said that before elephants predict their death, they will leave the group, find an unknown corner, and quietly wait for death. Over time, elephant bones pile up like mountains, and white bones and ivory are intertwined.
Therefore, it is also called the place where elephants are buried.
Whales in the deep sea also have this instinct. When they sense death, they will go to the deep sea on their own. Once a whale dies, everything lives, so it is also called the place where whales fall.
He just didn't expect it.
In the valley behind Junshan Island, there is actually a place where deer died.
Looking at the pair of antlers, criss-crossed and criss-crossed, as if they were growing out of the swamp, at a glance, there are at least ten or twenty.
That is to say.
At least a few dozen elk once lived here.
perhaps.
Deeper in the swamp, more deer bones were buried.
As for Bai Ze, he did not swim across Dongting Lake and come to Junshan Island to escape disaster as expected, but he grew up here since he was a child.
It's a pity that in the blink of an eye, only one of the once strong ethnic groups is left.
This place is so hidden, and there is water and grass. It is no wonder that it can avoid the sight of Nine-headed Dragon and Black Dragon Seven and hide on the island for so many years.
Boom——
While he was thinking.
Bai Ze's front knees actually knelt down straight towards the swamp in front of him.
How amazing this scene is.
So much so that Chen Yulou couldn't help but blush.
It just can't speak.
But it was very similar to what Partridge Whistle and others experienced.
That day at the foot of Shuanghei Mountain, the same was true for the three senior brothers and sisters.
It just doesn't make sense.
For thousands of years, our ancestors have been living in Dongting Daze for thousands of years. Why, today, we are unable to defend even the last small island.
Even if it's just to go out and find something to eat.
They will be hunted and killed.
Ever since he was born, he could only hide carefully for fear of being captured and hunted.
Although it is not very old. But I have seen too many such situations with my own eyes.
In fact, I also experienced such a scene today.
Hunters all over the mountains and plains, holding long spears or big bows in their hands, have no way to escape and nowhere to go. In the end, their limbs are tied and they can only wait quietly for death.
actually.
At that time, if you don't care, you rush into the forest.
Maybe there is a glimmer of hope.
But it didn't dare to bet. Once those people discovered the place where the deer died, they were afraid that the place where the bones of their ancestors were buried would be exposed. With the greed of those people, they would definitely take away all their heads and sell them for money.
Therefore, it would rather surrender than escape into it.
It is also because of a deep understanding of human nature.
Let it understand how sinister the human heart is.
But now he took the initiative to bring Chen Yulou here because... this person was different.
on him.
There is no greed or murderousness at all, only calmness and gentleness.
More importantly.
The aura exuding from his body was clearly that of a Taoist immortal.
It seems that he is born to be trustworthy and approachable.
"Bai Ze, you must have noticed that Chen is a cultivator."
"I landed on the island today because I took a fancy to this paradise of cave heaven and wanted to use it as a cultivation cave."
"I can plant spiritual seeds for you and refine the crossbones. After you gain enlightenment, you will be as eloquent as the old ape in the team."
Chen Yulou also understood at this moment.
Obviously when they first met, Bai Ze hated Uncle Jiu and the guys so much, but he felt an indescribable favor for himself.
Now, he has brought himself to the place where the deer died.
So he said without hesitation.
The tone is soft and the expression is gentle.
Bai Ze has a deep understanding of human nature, so he will definitely be able to understand.
"If you are willing, just nod."
"If you don't want to, from today on, I will tell you that no one is allowed to come here to disturb you."
really.
Almost at the moment he said these words.
Bai Ze jumped up from the ground, stood up and walked outside Chen Yulou, lowering his head slightly, his eyes full of determination and expectation.
"Okay."
"Since you trust me so much, Chen will definitely not live up to your trust!"
While talking.
Chen Yulou took a deep breath.
A ray of spiritual consciousness emitted from the Niwan Palace and condensed into a tangible and insubstantial cyan light mass in the air above his head.
It is clearly a spiritual seed!
"Relax and don't panic in the next process."
"When you plant the spiritual seed, you will naturally have enlightenment."
Seeing that its whole body was trembling slightly unconsciously, Chen Yulou couldn't help but stretched out his hand to gently touch its forehead and comforted it in a warm voice.
One can imagine.
It had been frightened a lot over the years to be like this.
What's even more valuable is that it was willing to get close to him just after meeting him for the first time.
With his comfort, Bai Ze felt a lot more relaxed.
He just stared at his every move with wide eyes and curiosity.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled, stretched out his hand to grab the spirit seed, and then patted Bai Ze's head lightly.
When he planted the spiritual seeds for Luofu and Yuan Hong, he was only at the Qi refining level, but now he is a great monk who can refine golden elixirs and create Qi seas and caves.
The process of planting spiritual seeds is almost instantaneous.
Bai Ze didn't even react.
I just felt that there was an extra ray of energy deep in my mind.
Then...
Deep in the forest, in all directions, and all over the sky, countless spiritual energies gathered like waves and enveloped it.
Washing away the flesh and blood bit by bit.
Refining the horizontal bone in the throat.
Sensing the changes in his body, Bai Ze's eyes widened. He had been confused for many years and just relied on instinct to survive, but now... his thoughts became extremely clear.
Even more astonishing is the change in body shape.
The originally thin figure became stronger bit by bit.
The fur is shiny and shiny, as if wearing a layer of leather.
The limbs are strong and strong, with inexhaustible strength.
The old illnesses and wounds on his body that he had suffered for many years also disappeared with the help of his inspiration.
Its eyes are sharp and its five senses are transparent. Even the slightest movement in the forest cannot escape its ears. Even the wind howls in the sky above its head, and a dead leaf falls from the treetop in the distance, slowly scratching. It went through an arc and finally landed on the ground.
Everything that was originally invisible and unheard.
Now in its eyes, it seems to have been slowed down countless times.
"Okay."
"Bai Ze...try to speak."
Just when it was feeling all the changes on its body with surprise and surprise, a gentle laughter suddenly came to its ears.
Bai Ze subconsciously raised his head.
At a glance, he saw Chen Yulou looking at him with a smile.
"Yo... Bai."
Bai Ze tried it.
But as soon as it opened its mouth, it was shocked and froze in place by the familiar yet strange voice.
That was clearly his own voice.
But the roar of the deer is completely different from the human voice.
"Don't be afraid."
“Try something bold.”
"Now that your transverse bones have melted, you are no different from a human being."
This scene is too familiar to Chen Yulou. No matter Lao Yuan or Kunlun, it is almost like this when they first wake up.
But just take the first step.
After that, the road will be smooth.
Bai Ze nodded vigorously, and then spoke again.
"White..."
"Baize!"
Tried several times in a row.
Finally, it successfully connected the two words together and said them at the same time.
Although there were some stumblings and the tone seemed a bit strange, it was an unprecedented experience for it.
Almost subconsciously, Bai Ze spoke again.
Keep repeating its name.
Even if you don’t understand what those two words mean.
But it knows that the master took it for itself, and it will be its own name from now on.
A full half-quarter of an hour later.
Bai Zecai gradually calmed down from the huge surprise.
There was a solemn look on his face.
He knelt down on his knees towards Chen Yulou without any hesitation, just like he had just bowed to the swamp where the deer died.
"Bai Ze...has met the master."
"Thank you, master, for saving me from fire and water. I will never forget your kindness in life or death!"
Look at it looking very serious.
The sincerity of his words goes straight to the depths of his heart.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but have a smile in his eyes.
Lift it up from the ground with both hands.
"It doesn't have to be this way."
"Everything today is fate."
Looking at Bai Ze, who was already more than half his height without realizing it, Chen Yulou waved his hands and smiled.
Wild elk are no more than fifteen years old.
But Bai Ze is different. After all, he is a born spiritual creature, and his lifespan is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary elk.
However, Bai Ze is only in his teens now.
In the human world, he would be almost an adult.
In other words, it still has countless huge potentials and countless room for growth.
If one day.
Can transform into the legendary four figures!
Thinking of this, Chen Yulou's mind sank into his mind.
There is already an extra star in Niwan Palace, but compared to the bright lights of Luofu, Yuan Hong and Zhou Jiao, the one belonging to Bai Ze is dim and unclear.
After all, in these years, it just relied on instinct to swallow some of Junshan Island's spiritual energy.
I have never really entered into practice.
But after today, it was completely different.
Using the aura of green wood to cleanse its marrow and blood, open its mind and refine its bones, and use the aura of the sky to warm and nourish its flesh and blood, it is equivalent to planting a seed in its body. It just needs to wait quietly, and sooner or later it will take root and sprout. one day.
"Bai Ze, during this time, I will ask someone to teach you how to read and write."
"When you learn and recognize almost three thousand characters, I will teach you the Qi refining method."
"When the time comes, by eating Qi, breathing, and guiding, you may one day be able to return to your ancestral form!" (End of Chapter)
