"Big... senior brother?"
Bai Ze's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face.
The owner had just verified his guess with his own words.
This colorful bird.
He is truly the descendant of the legendary Phoenix.
It's no wonder that just falling from the top of the clouds is like a drastic change in the sky. All things are dormant, the chirping of insects and birds disappear in an instant, as if they have stepped back from mid-spring to the harsh winter.
And the suppressive power from blood.
It even made it breathless.
I am no more than a wild deer in the mountains, so what qualifications do I have to be considered as his junior disciple?
"Of course it's Senior Brother."
Chen Yulou shrugged, "Luofu was the first to get started, followed by Yuan Hong, but..."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Bai Ze with a smile.
"Before you, there was another senior brother."
"So, you can only be regarded as a junior brother."
"Then, who is the third senior brother?"
Bai Ze already felt that his mind was a little overwhelmed, and his heart was in a mess. He silently recalled the many figures the group had seen today.
But except for the old ape.
It seemed that no other mountain animals, birds in the sky, or fish and dragons were seen in the water.
Could it be that he's transformed?
"Don't think about it blindly. It's not here now. In a few years, if you practice successfully, you might have the opportunity to witness it transform into a dragon through water."
It seems to be able to penetrate Ming Ming's thoughts.
Seeing Bai Ze lowering his head and thinking about something, Chen Yulou couldn't help but wave his hand.
"Oh...ah?!"
The master's thoughts were revealed.
Bai Ze couldn't help but smile, but just as he spoke, he suddenly came back to his senses the next moment.
Walk through water and transform into a dragon! !
Even though it has been isolated from the world for a long time, it has been passed down through the ages and the dragons and phoenixes in heaven and earth still know about it.
It is said that people born in the dragon genus spend their entire lives trying to transform into dragons.
Carps jumping over the dragon gate, pythons and snakes walking across the river, turtles, turtles, dragons, horses and pheasants can all turn into dragons.
However, the only difference is that with different bloodlines, the transformed dragons are also different.
The dragon that walks through the water and enters the sea is a real dragon, the turtle that cannot shed its shell is a turtle dragon, the snake is a candle dragon, the pheasant is a mirage dragon, and the hog is a pig dragon.
They all appear to be dragons.
But the difference between a real dragon and a pig dragon is worlds apart.
Today...
When the host mentioned the third senior brother, he actually talked about turning into a dragon through water.
So, the senior brother I have never met is at least a walking dragon and a python?
"No need."
"My guess is correct. Your third senior brother is an old dragon who has been practicing for thousands of years. He will be able to walk into the sea within ten years at most. It is not impossible to transform into a dragon by then."
There are no outsiders at the moment.
Chen Yulou didn't mean to hide it, he put his hands behind his back and smiled lightly.
"Thousand-year-old Jiao?!"
Listening to these words, Bai Ze felt like there was thunder rolling deep in his mind.
A deer only lives for more than ten years.
Even if their clan is blessed with natural spiritual creatures, they can only live for thirty or forty years at most.
In memory, the ancestor with the longest lifespan lived for nearly fifty years and was already considered a legend, so much so that he had heard about it from his elders since he was a child.
After entering Junshan Island.
You have to be wary of wild beasts in the mountains, but also worry about being hunted.
Live cautiously.
To have it for twenty years is considered rare.
Now, it actually heard that there is a thousand-year-old dragon, which is really... unbelievable.
"What do you think."
Seeing its dumbfounded look, Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile.
"Have you ever met your second senior brother before?"
"I've seen it."
Bai Ze nodded.
The image of a white ape came to mind.
To be honest, if it hadn't noticed something wrong with its aura, it would have even mistakenly thought it was a human.
The man wears a long robe and a hood, bows his head, and is eloquent.
There is almost no difference between them and humans.
At most, he is stooped and a little older.
As expected of the most recent human primate, it doesn't even need to transform.
"Then how old do you think the white ape is?"
Sensing the flash of envy deep in its eyes, Chen Yulou did not point it out and just asked softly.
Bai Ze was stunned.
After thinking carefully, I came up with an answer.
"You should be...in your thirties, right?"
thirty?
Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows, "You underestimate it too much. The white ape has lived for nearly sixty years."
before they entered Bottle Mountain.
The white ape has a reputation for being fierce in those deep mountains.
The traders and local cave dwellers in the past were even more afraid and hated of it, so much so that whether they went into the mountains to cut trees, collect medicines, or sell goods, they would rather go around for dozens of miles than get entangled by those apes.
Lost goods are a trivial matter.
What I'm afraid of is getting hurt, or even risking my life.
Once the group of them reached the top of Pingshan Mountain, the white ape would be able to form a three-legged alliance with the mountain scorpion and the giant python deep below the mountain.
That is, after practicing Taoism with him.
The fierce corpse aura was being refined bit by bit.
Otherwise...
What kind of goodness do you really think it is?
As for Bai Ze, if it were placed in Pingshan, it would have been eaten up long ago.
In the eyes of those ferocious beasts, monsters and evil spirits, it is simply a walking treasure.
sixty! !
Hear this number.
Bai Ze's face was even more unbelievable.
That ancestor only lived for nearly fifty years. The white ape looked full of energy and was already about sixty years old. This was simply unimaginable.
"Waiting for you to step into practice."
"Same thing."
Chen Yulou patted its head.
The deer is not like a descendant.
With blood, he can steadily suppress the white ape.
Decades are just a snap of the fingers.
"Then...Master, when will I be able to read and write?"
Hear this promise.
The look of anticipation in Bai Ze's eyes became more intense.
"Just these two days."
It is now psychic and enlightened. As long as someone takes it with it on the road, according to the experience of Kunlun and White Ape, it will only take a few months at most to get on the road.
It is the person who transmits its text.
They all have to be busy practicing, and now in the Paradise of Cave Heaven, the opportunity is rare.
As for Zhou Mingyue’s words.
His yin and yang identity is there.
The unique status of Junshan Island in Erzhuan is self-evident.
The guys who were transferred to attack the island and guard the mountain were all carefully selected, because they were worried that outsiders would get in and leak out all the cultivation matters on Junshan Island.
Therefore, it is acceptable for Zhou Mingyue to teach Kunlun and White Ape in Zhuangzi.
But it would not work to transfer him here from Chenjiazhuang.
The remaining candidates.
You can only choose from the mountain guys.
Ask Uncle Jiu later.
Having made up his mind, Chen Yulou no longer struggled with this, "Have you not been thinking about coming to Chashan Island for a long time?"
"Now the new shoots are the freshest."
"Don't you want to try it?"
Bai Ze, who had originally longed to study and become literate, couldn't help himself when he heard this.
He swallowed secretly.
His eyes swept across the large ancient tea trees.
The rich fragrance almost hits your nose.
Where can I hold myself back?
"Then...Master, I'm going."
Seeing its impatient look, Chen Yulou waved his hand.
After receiving the permission, Bai Ze jumped up without hesitation and plunged into the tea garden with a light body.
As the owner said, it is mid-spring now, after the Qingming Festival, when the young shoots and new leaves burst out.
To know.
This Chashan Island has been famous since the Tang Dynasty. Silver Needle tea was ranked as a sacred product. In the Qing Dynasty, it was even regarded as a tribute tea, with a tribute of eighteen kilograms per year.
There is even a special tea and tobacco department. Every year during the Qingming and Grain Rain seasons, people go to the island to pick tea, and then fry it using ancient methods. Among them, the top tea is Gong, commonly known as Gongjian, and the velvet tea is Shang, which flows all over the world.
But only those who are extremely wealthy.
Only then can we have a chance to taste it.
Since the chaos of the Republic of China, Junshan Island has experienced bandits and wars, and Chashan Island has been abandoned. Even the craftsmen who speculated on Junshan Silver Needles have gradually lost their inheritance.
A few years ago, Black Jiao Qi had also set his sights on Chashan Island.
Thinking of picking tea in exchange for money.
It's a pity that after searching all over the lake, I couldn't find a master who could fry tea.
In the end, this matter had to be dropped.
But even so.
This is the first time Bai Ze has come here in more than ten years since he was born.
Walk among the large ancient tea trees.
For a moment, there was an unreal feeling like a dream.
The green leaves are fresh and juicy at your fingertips, and when you take a bite, the unique fragrance of the silver needle leaves blooms in your taste buds, making every inch of your body seem to be jumping for joy.
"Luofu, let's go and have a look too."
Saw this scene from a distance.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but bring up a smile.
After Grain Rain, the buds are getting old, and it would be a waste to leave them here.
If I really want to try Junshan Silver Needle, I have to wait at least until the next year. With the strength of the Chen family, it shouldn't be difficult to find the group of old masters who roasted tea here.
But now.
I can only take advantage of that guy Bai Ze.
Taking Luofu, one person and one demon, they strolled through the Chashan Islands. Not long after, they had climbed to the top of the cliff, where large ancient pines stood through the rocks, and the distant lake breeze blew by. It was indescribably relaxed and casual.
"There is also an ancient temple."
After walking along the top of the mountain for a while, Chen Yulou's eyes suddenly lit up.
Not far ahead, I saw an ancient Taoist-style building built on the mountain and nestled among the dense forests.
Not big.
There is only one front hall.
It looks like he has grown up a lot.
When I asked Uncle Jiu about the Guguan Temple on the mountain before, he seemed to have never mentioned this place.
Wait for him to push open the door and walk in expectantly.
Finally understood the reason.
It is indeed an ancient temple, but it is collapsed and damaged. The door shafts have been rotted, and a creaking sound can be heard with a little force.
And there was a sudden knock on the door.
It also frightened the unknown little beasts and rats and insects in the view, and for a moment there was endless rustling movement.
The deep, rotten musty smell went straight to his nose.
There was an indescribable gloom in the air.
"Luofu."
Chen Yulou frowned slightly, covered his mouth and nose and took half a step back.
At the same time, he glanced at his left shoulder and whispered softly.
Hear what the master means.
Luofu didn't waste any time, spread his wings and flapped lightly.
In an instant.
An aura mixed with majestic fire swept out.
Stroll through every part of the ancient temple.
Smoke and dust suddenly billowed into the air.
This went on for several minutes.
Wait for the dust to clear.
When others crossed the threshold again and entered, the ground was already spotless, and the gloomy rotten and moldy smell was also swept away.
“Well done.”
He gently stroked Luofu's head.
As long as its aura remains, even just a trace, the snakes, insects, rats, and ants on the mountain will no longer dare to set foot in the ancient temple.
Enter it with your hands behind your back.
The temple was completely empty, and the clay statue on the shrine had collapsed, leaving only half of its body, but it could still be faintly seen that it was enshrined like a dragon king.
In addition, all the futons and incense burners disappeared.
I don’t know if it was rotten or if it was taken away.
Chen Yulou didn't care about this, and just walked around the main hall and the two side rooms on the left and right.
I have to say.
Although this ancient temple is somewhat dilapidated and abandoned, it is sufficient for practicing meditation and providing shelter from wind and rain.
Just needs some simple repairs.
He wandered around excitedly, but Luofu didn't have much patience. He jumped up, spread his wings and flew through the air. In the blink of an eye, he flew out from the hole in the beam above his head.
He didn't go far either.
I just found a cracked cave on the cliff.
Not much space.
But just enough to stay.
There are also a lot of fallen leaves, branches, and feathers inside. It may have been a hiding place for waterbirds on the island before, but it was also abandoned and no scent remained.
Luofu pays attention to simple efficiency when doing things.
He opened his mouth and spit out a stream of phoenix fire.
I saw a burst of fire sweeping past.
In an instant.
All the debris in the cave was burned away.
Even the moisture was dissipated.
Only a clean and refreshing stone cave remains.
Seeing this, Luofu couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Unlike the old ape, he could rest and sleep anywhere, and he had extremely high requirements for accommodation.
I was in Chenjiazhuang before.
The entire backyard is its private area, perched on the towering old tree.
When I arrived at Changsheng Mountain, I would only sleep at the highest point on the top of the mountain.
Today...
This cave is a bit small, but the location is perfect. You can see the Dongting Lake and the entire Junshan Tea Island from lying down, and every move is within its sight.
Moreover, depending on the owner's wishes, he will probably spend the next few months on the island.
Of course it has to find itself a good place to sleep.
Sensing movement in the cliff cave.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but shook his head, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Phoenix species have a proud character.
Nothing more than that.
Without paying much attention, after walking around the ancient temple, Chen Yulou opened the door and left, then walked around the ancient temple.
Not long after.
Finally stopped.
Below the cliff, where it meets the dense forest, is a shady place.
The gurgling water flows down the cliff.
It fell on the big bluestone at the bottom. Thousands of years later, a stone canal was formed. Spring water flowed back and forth in it, and an unknown water chestnut tree floated in the canal.
It has a unique charm.
Chen Yulou stopped and looked at it for a moment.
Then he turned his attention to the ground under the bluestone.
Because the spring water never dries up all year round, the soil transformed from sand and gravel has a bluish-black color.
"This is an excellent place to plant green thunder bamboo."
The Green Thunder Bamboo likes shade the most, which is why it can survive for hundreds of years in a dark place like an ancient tomb, relying solely on the energy of its earth veins.
From morning to night in this place, even in the hot summer, the sunlight is blocked by cliffs and dense forests.
It is simply a wonderful place that is hard to find in the world.
The more I looked at Chen Yulou, the more delighted I became.
No hesitation either.
His mind moved.
The next moment, the green thunder bamboo appeared in the palm of my hand from the Qi Sea Cave and Sky.
With a wave of his hand, a deep pit appeared on the ground. He bent down and carefully planted the green thunder bamboo into it.
at the same time.
He reached out and grabbed it out of thin air. In an instant, the spiritual energy floating on Chashan Island gathered like wind and clouds. Under his urging, it condensed into a small piece of spiritual rain and sprinkled down.
Wow!——
Being nourished and soaked by the spiritual rain, the green jade-like bamboo leaves seemed to come alive for a moment, rustling open and swallowing the spiritual liquid in large mouths.
Changes here.
There was quite a bit of movement.
Luofu, who was already lying down in the cave, was startled and subconsciously raised his eyebrows and glanced down.
I sensed the power of thunder and fire in that bamboo.
Looking around it, there was a hint of wonder in those lazy eyes.
"How?"
As if aware of Luofu who was quietly breaking down, Chen Yulou clapped his hands and asked with a smile.
"It is said that Fengqi Wutong, master planted this Phoenix Palace for me?" (End of Chapter)
