While Lao Jiang was fighting for his life with the evil ghost Wuchang, he was in a deep mountain swamp about 5,000 miles away from the Valley of Ghosts, which was also bordering the Great Wilderness Forest.
Pomegranate's figure suddenly jumped out from the ground.
At this moment, the miserable stone skin on its body had almost healed, but the pomegranate's little eyes rolled around, and it took another look at the glass bottle in its arms, and then it took the initiative to stop the healing of its stone skin.
He also scratched himself hard with his claws twice to make himself look more miserable.
"Heiyun, don't be afraid. I will take you to see Grandma right away."
Pomegranate patted the jar in his arms.
It raised its head and looked at the endless swamp filled with white mist in front of it. This was the border of Yandang Pond and the entrance to the holy land of goblins.
It does not allow others to enter easily and forms a country of its own.
Even though Pomegranate is a mountain monster with the ability to walk on the earth veins, he is not allowed to use it casually in Yandang Pond, because there is a temple in Yandang Pond dedicated to the Holy Spirit of Heaven and Earth, Lady Xixin.
No monsters or spirits are allowed to be attacked here.
The little pomegranate stood on the stone and spent a few seconds to gather his emotions. Then he flapped his wings, pretended to be miserable, and screamed towards the big lake in front of him:
"Help! The bad guys are killing monsters! Someone come quickly! A monster is dying! Someone come quickly!"
Its noisy screams immediately attracted the attention of the giant monster guarding the entrance to the swamp.
As the ground rose with a rumbling sound, water vapor swirled in the swamp, and the ground trembled, a stone giant who was a hundred feet tall and dressed in animal skins slowly stood up.
The giant had obsidian skin all over his body.
There was only one eye on the top of his head, and he was holding a thick wooden stick in one hand, with a huge anaconda-like python wrapped around his other hand. He looked extremely honest.
They are a genus of mountain gods.
But unlike the mountain guardian lady, who is of noble birth, the one in front of him can only be regarded as an ordinary mountain god, but his talent is much more powerful than that of small monsters like mountain monsters.
The weakest mountain gods are all in the realm of truth.
The one in front of him was at the spiritual cultivation level, and was already considered a great monster.
That's why they were arranged here to guard the entrance of Yandang Pond.
"Pomegranate?"
The mountain god tilted his head and looked at the small pomegranate in front of him that was as small as an ant with his big eyes.
It said doubtfully:
"Weren't you out there as an inspector for the Immortal Alliance? How come you're back so soon? That thing in your arms... is that Black Cloud? Why did you put it in a jar?
Is this your new trick?
Hmm.
It’s quite interesting.”
"Oh, Zang Tuo, don't ask!"
Pomegranate obviously recognized the huge mountain god in front of it, and it seemed that they had a good relationship. It flew onto the mountain god's shoulder and shouted:
"Heiyun is dying! Take me to the temple of the mountain guardian lady, quickly! Otherwise it will be too late."
"Well, I can't go now."
The mountain gods always spoke slowly, just like their real selves who were not good at speaking. Hearing Pomegranate's scream, the Zangtuo mountain god slowly shook his head.
It says:
"In the past seven days, the Goddess of the Mountain has been offering sacrifices to the Great God of Changshan. The temple is sealed off and no one can enter. You have only been out for a few days, and you have even forgotten this?"
"this……"
Pomegranate was a little hesitant.
The mountain guardian grandma is the daughter of the Changshan God. It is unlucky for her to go and report the death of a father and daughter, and she is afraid that it will make the grandma angry.
But then it thought again.
Jiang Xia had told it before, warning it not to make a big deal out of it.
It looked down at the black cloud roaring wildly in the jar, and thought of the fog elves that were brutally killed. After a few breaths, Pomegranate gritted its teeth.
He ignored the slow-moving mountain god's obstruction and plunged into the earth veins.
My life is almost gone!
How can I care about these taboos?
The god of Zangtuo Mountain shouted behind him and tried to stop him, but Pomegranate ran at full speed, following the earth veins, gritting his teeth, and in less than twenty breaths, he jumped out of the earth veins.
It rushed into a magnificent place with ease.
This place is said to be a temple, but it is more like a large naturally shaped cave. The surrounding area is flat and there is strange moss on the top, emitting a faint but not dazzling light.
There weren't many tributes either.
There are no anthropomorphic clay or stone statues.
The spirits are born and raised by nature, and they offer sacrifices to all things. They do not care about these external things. What they value is sincerity and true nature, even if they come to worship empty-handed.
As long as your heart is sincere.
However, in this huge cave, there are some very exquisite decorations.
In a corner of the cave, there is a very feminine dressing table, a large wardrobe, and a bed with a curtain that is obviously made by a master craftsman, on which are placed fur bedding.
There is also a small cabinet next to the bed with exquisite candles on it.
Its appearance and decoration are extremely similar to those of Elder Shi Yan's boudoir in Mo Shuang Mountain, almost a replica. In addition to the temple priest, this should also be the living place of a woman.
this……
Turning a place for sacrifice into a boudoir is considered a heinous crime by human monks.
But the same thing.
The monsters don't care about these things.
Yandangchi is a sacred place with its own national conditions.
Pomegranate was very familiar with this place. It had grown up here since it was a child. When it jumped out for a moment, it saw the familiar slender figure sitting cross-legged on the cushion in front of it.
He was talking softly to a stone seal placed on a white jade table.
Pomegranate didn't dare to say much.
It jumped out for a moment, then knelt on its knees, lifted the glass jar with its claws, lowered its head, and shouted:
"There are evil cultivators who are harming my spirits, the Lingquan Mist Spirits are about to be exterminated, and there is also the Black Cloud! Mother-in-law, I will talk about the things that violate the rules later. Now, please save them first!"
"Mother-in-law, you'll understand!"
"Only you can save them now!"
"Um?"
This sudden accident interrupted the conversation between the lady and her father, and indeed made her angry.
It's okay on weekdays.
Mountain monsters like Pomegranate are naughty and always cause a lot of trouble, and the mountain guardian woman has long been accustomed to it.
And it's nothing new.
But today is different. My father usually sleeps for more than a hundred years. I finally have some free time. While he is a little awake, I talk to him a little more and chat about family matters.
As a result, it was interrupted by the naughty pomegranate just as it started.
"Don't blame me, father."
The woman stroked the stone seal and said softly:
"This mountain monster was raised by me, like my own son, and I spoiled it a lot. But it didn't know the rules and offended its father..."
A heavy divine thought came from the stone seal.
He did not seem angry, which made the Goddess of the Mountain feel a little relieved.
She apologized again, then stood up and looked at Shi Liu.
The mountain goddess in the realm of seeking the Tao did not show up in her true form this time, but instead transformed like a spirit, using her own divine thoughts to create a human form, so her face could not be seen clearly.
But apart from some pendants that I like, his attire is not much different from that of Zangtuo, the mountain god guarding the entrance of Yandang Pond.
He is also covered with animal skins and looks very wild.
In one hand she held a green wooden staff, and on her other slender arm was coiled a beautiful jade snake, the entire body of which was made of jasper, and its eyes were like red agate.
It was very docile, wrapping itself around the arm of the Mountain Goddess, sticking its head out to look at the pomegranate, and occasionally spitting out its scarlet tongue.
Otherwise, why do people say that he is of noble birth?
This small snake, which is a symbol of the mountain goddess, is actually a demon king in the realm of spiritual cultivation, while the anaconda on Zangtuo's arm is a giant python, a demon general in the realm of truth.
This once again confirms that very realistic theory.
Whether it's humans or monsters.
If you are born into a good family, you can do whatever you want.
"Pomegranate! It's okay on normal days. You have been impetuous and naughty since you were a child. But you should know that today is the day when my father and I worship.
The entire Yandang Pond knows that I will close my door to visitors for these seven days.
You come to disturb me.
I really spoil you too much!"
There was a hint of severity in Grandma Zhenshan's tone. She looked at Pomegranate, then looked at the glass bottle that Pomegranate was holding in his trembling paws. There was a ball of black mist rushing wildly in the bottle.
It has no shape, just like rolling black smoke.
Every time it collides with the bottle, it will cause spiritual energy to vibrate and create sparks.
Like a trapped, grumpy little devil.
This made the Goddess of the Mountain stop scolding. She was a great spirit in the realm of seeking the way, so she naturally knew that such a change was definitely unusual. So she reached out and picked up the jar, and looked at it in front of her.
She noticed the abnormal red light flickering inside the body of Heiyun, the mist spirit whom she had raised since childhood.
Ordinary fog elves don’t have this.
"Bang"
Before the empress made any move, the magic jar in front of her shattered automatically. The black cloud was freed and turned into black smoke that shook the sky. In the next moment, it condensed into the three-headed monster snake.
He roared and bit the pomegranate on the head.
"stop!"
The Mountain Goddess lightly tapped the ground with the wooden staff in her hand, and the attacking black clouds immediately froze in place. The temple here was the transformation of the Mountain Goddess's true body. In this sacred mountain, all things were controlled by her mind.
"What is this?"
The Goddess of the Mountain stretched out her hand, reached into the black cloud's body, and grabbed it casually.
He originally wanted to capture the strange power that polluted the black cloud, but he did not expect that even with the power of a great monster in the Dao-seeking realm, he could not complete this simple action.
She only caught a very small ball of black air.
Most of it still remained in the black cloud's body, and the moment the black gas was pulled out, the black cloud howled in pain, and its entire misty body scattered and rolled madly.
It's like having your skin peeled off and your muscles pulled out, and it's impossible to put the body into shape again.
The Goddess of the Mountain had never seen such a strange thing. She pointed the wooden staff in her hand again, and a huge amount of spiritual energy surged in from the surroundings, washing the misty body of the black cloud layer by layer.
I want to use this pure power to purify those polluted things.
But the black cloud howled even more painfully.
And what's even weirder is.
The ball of black gas held in the hand of the Goddess of the Mountain completely ignored the Goddess's spiritual restraints and drilled into her divine body like a snake .
This is impossible!
It is not surprising that it can pollute Black Cloud. After all, Black Cloud is just a little monster in the Qi Training Realm, but the Goddess of the Mountain is in the Dao Seeking Realm, which is three major realms higher than Black Cloud.
The power contrast between the two sides is as huge as dust and the bright moon.
How could this strange black energy be able to ignore the realm and contaminate the Goddess of the Mountain?
"boom"
At the moment when the black gas was about to pollute the consciousness of the Goddess of the Mountain, the entire sacred mountain transformed from the Goddess's body began to shake violently, but it was not caused by the Goddess of the Mountain.
This power comes from even more ancient times.
From the birth of heaven and earth!
"Father!"
The Goddess of the Mountain was also startled.
She turned around and exclaimed, the ancient stone seal used to contact her father was trembling, as if representing some kind of unspoken anger.
And on the stone seal, there was already an illusory light flickering, outlining a towering giant with long hair and beard, wearing animal skins, with a spirit dragon wrapped around his arm, holding a wooden staff.
That is the great god of Changshan!
The lord of the sacred mountains and rivers in the world of Ku Mu Realm, the spirits and immortals, and the powerful person in Ku Hai Realm.
The moment his figure appeared, the black air in the cave retreated in fear, but was crushed into powder again by the power of heaven and earth. The black air on the black cloud was also washed away by this wild force.
The misty body re-manifested in full, but it had become extremely weak.
Pomegranate screamed.
Not just out of fear, but out of grief.
It had seen the Mist Spirit in this weak state, which meant...
Black Cloud is dying.
It is about to return to heaven and earth.
But the situation at this time did not allow the Goddess of the Mountain to focus her attention on her adopted son, because the moment the great god Changshan showed his divine power, more than a dozen sacred mountains in the entire Yandang Pond trembled at the same time.
Not just here.
Wherever there are sacred mountains in the world, they are shaken by the wrath of this immortal.
It's like a source of confusion.
With Yandang Pond as its center, it spread to the entire Kumu Realm in an instant, and even the spiritual mountains in Zhongzhou, which were suspended high above the world, trembled.
The angry voice of Changshan God echoed throughout the mountains of Kumu Realm at this moment.
"Evil cultivators are like ants, disturbing my spiritual land. Their evil thoughts are rampant, harming my people. All the mountains in the southern wilderness, listen to my command! The demons will leave the Star Valley and be conquered and destroyed!"
"boom"
Throughout the vast southern wilderness, hundreds of mountain gods were awakened in an instant, and giants as tall as Zangtuo appeared from the mountains one after another.
They roared to the sky, responding to the call of the spirits of the mountains. These giants who stood tall and proud then raised their feet and headed towards the Star Valley.
Spirits and monsters are of the same blood.
To hurt one is to hurt all...
