Honghuang on the tip of the tongue

Crazy beast tide invaded Kunlun Mountain?

Probably because there was a "meeting" in Yuxu Palace not long ago to discuss the sudden outbreak of wild beasts. When they saw the herd composed of different kinds of strange beasts, this thought flashed through the minds of everyone present.

Longji panicked for a moment.

In order to show her respect for Yuanshi Tianzun, she did not wear any magic weapon before coming to teach.If she really ran into a large number of berserk beasts, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to escape safely.

"No, it's not a wave of beasts." After the initial shock, Yuding was the first to calm down, thanks to his good eyesight. "That's just an ordinary herd of spirit beasts."

"Are you sure?" Long Ji was not at ease. The continuous outbreak of beast tide kept her in a state of mental tension all the time, "Then those strange beasts clearly come from different races."

She could see clearly that there were even naturally hostile spirit beasts in that team of alien beasts.

Generally speaking, alien beasts of different races would not be so close, let alone stay with their natural enemies, unless they had lost their minds.

"It's true." Cihang's eyes flickered, "I think I understand what's going on."

In fact, it is not difficult to reason.

The group of alien beasts that Long Ji saw was on Zhuiyu Peak, and it was about to be dinner time.As long as you know these two points, the truth is ready to come out.

"You mean, these spirit beasts are all here to eat?" Long Ji showed an expression of "you seem to be teasing me".

To be honest, if the other party hadn't been the Twelve Golden Immortals, and if the Heavenly Court hadn't asked for others, this noble princess might have thrown her sleeves away on the spot.

But Cihang explained seriously: "Princess, once you have tasted brother Rong's skill, you will know why the spirit beast did this."

Long Ji was skeptical, and then took a closer look at the herd of beasts in the mountain.

These strange beasts did not look like they were losing their minds, the team was orderly, messy but not chaotic.

She looked intently into the distance again, and vaguely saw white smoke curling up, and beside a large cauldron, there was a thin figure busily busy.

A strange feeling suddenly appeared in Long Ji's heart, and he wanted to go and find out, but he was quickly suppressed by other thoughts.

"It's better not to be crazy beasts." She breathed a sigh of relief, and said calmly, "Time waits for no one, let's go quickly."

The golden fairies had no objection, but Ci Hang glanced in the direction of Zhui Yufeng regretfully, thinking that it would be a pity that he would not be able to taste Brother Rong's craftsmanship for a long time to come.

***

Smelling the faint sweet fragrance wafting in the wind, Yuan Shi subconsciously swallowed.

He is no stranger to this taste, it is the squirrel mandarin fish that Rong Ze once cooked.

He doesn't need to go to the scene, he can imagine Rong Ze's appearance when he cooks this dish.

After the fish bones are removed, cut out a beautiful rhombus of uniform size on the surface of the fish body with a flower knife.

Wrap the prepared ingredients and fry it in hot oil in a boiling pan until golden.

After serving on a plate, pour hot sweet and sour sauce over it, and the fish tail will stand up, like a squirrel's tail, vividly.

This dish combines five categories of shape, color, smell, sound, and it is hard not to leave an unforgettable impression on people.

Thinking of the golden red color, sweet and sour taste, Yuan Shi couldn't help secreting a suspicious liquid from his mouth.

He took a deep breath and quickened his pace.

However, a distinctive laugh stopped him from going any further.

He shook his beard, and his smoky purple eyes were dark.

As the owner of Zhuiyu Peak, he knows better than anyone what kind of spirit beasts live here.

However, he was sure that there wasn't any beast among them whose breath and cry made him feel so strange.

Obviously, this is a foreign beast.

***

Seeing the nine-tailed beast that had disappeared all day, Rong Ze was both surprised and delighted, but because of the cat-like cub in his arms with a long white tail trailing behind him, he couldn't immediately turn to the Nine-Tailed Beast. The beloved pet came rushing, so he had to wave to the other party.

"Dabai, come here quickly, you have a new friend."

Yuan Shi slowly walked up to him, stood still, his eyes darkened.

Under his gaze, the long-tailed cub shivered unexpectedly.

Rong Ze immediately became nervous: "What's wrong with Xiaobai? Does the wound hurt again?"

Xiaobai, huh?

Yuan Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the cub with the same white hair calmly.

Only then did he realize that the other party had several wounds on his body, and some places were even festered and pus-filled.

Under Yuan Shi's gaze, the cub seemed very disturbed, its round eyes looked at Rong Ze pitifully, and it hummed softly, making people feel distressed.

Rong Ze's heart almost melted, he quickly blew on his wound, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, baby, blow it on, it won't hurt anymore."

Yuan Shi: "..."

Xiao Xiaobai gradually calmed down, but his front paws were tightly wrapped around his arm and he refused to let go, moaning and chirping, as if begging for comfort.

Yuan Shi lowered his eyes.

The initial shock and anger have passed, and at this moment, his mind is running fast.

He had already recognized that it was a cub.As we all know, the hometown of the beast is Huoshan, which is thousands of miles away from here.

It is definitely not that simple for an ordinary spirit beast cub to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers to Kunlun Mountain.

Rong Ze took the tenderest piece of meat from the belly of the fish and squeezed it into his mouth. Turning his head, he found that his beloved pet seemed to be in a daze. He wondered, "Dabai, why don't you eat it? Don't you love squirrel mandarin fish the most?"

Yuan Shi raised his eyelids, glanced at him quietly, and slowly bent down.

The crispy fried fish skin is soaked with sweet and sour juice. When you bite down, the sweet and sour juice splashes, and the sweet taste spreads in your mouth.The tender and delicate fish almost melts in the mouth when dipped in some sauce.

The taste is still the same as before, but at this moment, Yuan Shi is not in the mood to taste delicious food.

Rong Ze saw that he didn't know how to eat, and his eyes were worried, thinking that he was sick, so he reached out his hand to touch him.

Sensing his intention, Yuan Shi twisted his body slightly, avoiding his comforting, his eyes still fixed on Xiao Xiaobai.

Rong Ze suddenly realized something and couldn't laugh or cry.

He thought for a while, cleared his throat, and began to talk about the process of meeting Xiao Xiaobai.

It turned out that Rong Ze met this young animal in the woods.

After Dabai "disappeared", Rong Ze was worried and went into the forest to look for him, only to find Xiao Xiaobai seriously injured.

According to Rong Ze, Xiao Xiaobai seemed to have been stimulated by something at the time, lost his mind, and crashed into a tree like crazy, which is probably the reason for the injuries on his body.

Mad Beast!

Listening to his description, Yuan Shi immediately thought of the mad beast tide sweeping the whole prehistoric world.

He was secretly startled: the man from Huoshan would appear on the Yufeng Peak of Kunlun Mountain thousands of miles away, it seems that Princess Longze's words were not exaggerated, and the disaster of wild animal horde has reached the point of no delay.

After Rong Ze appeared, Xiao Xiaobai also showed a tendency to attack at first.

However, it was too tired, and it was just a newborn cub. Even against an unarmed ordinary person like Rong Ze, its attacks would not have much effect.

Yuan Shi subconsciously glanced at Xiao Xiaobai, who was chewing fish, squinting his eyes contentedly, shaking his head, looking very happy, showing no signs of madness.

As if aware of his gaze, Xiao Xiaobai froze all over, shrunk into Rong Ze's embrace like a boneless one, only showing two big round dark eyes outside, looking back timidly at Yuan Shi.

The innate keen intuition of the spirit beast told it that the senior with nine tails in front of him was very dangerous.

Yuan Shi shook his beard, and continued to listen to Rong Ze's rambling: "For some reason, Xiao Xiaobai gradually calmed down, I thought it was so pitiful, it was so small, and it was hurt so badly, so I just brought it back. "

As he spoke, he lovingly touched the little head of the cub in his arms.

Xiao Xiaobai also stuck out her pink tongue, and licked his fingertips affectionately, as if thinking of something, she glanced at Yuan Shi in fear, and rubbed against Rong Ze's arms again.

However, Yuan Shi didn't care about its little thoughts.

He suddenly thought of the fur monster and Fei Lian.

This is the third time.

At present, Yuan Shi can almost conclude that this seemingly ordinary human race in front of him possesses the power to make the berserk beast regain its rationality.

Even he couldn't see through this mysterious power, so let's call it purification.

Judging from the currently known facts, purification can alleviate or even completely eliminate the chaotic air and the various disasters it caused.

Regardless of Rong Ze's background, this is a good thing.

It seemed that the sky that had been overcast for a long time suddenly cleared up, and Yuan Shi's mood improved inexplicably.

He suddenly regained his appetite and lowered his head to take a big bite of the squirrel mandarin fish.

The fish is a bit cold, but it doesn't affect the mood of tasting it.

This, he thought, was better than any fish he had ever eaten.

***

Under Rong Ze's careful care, Xiao Xiaobai's injury improved day by day.

The beast is lively and active by nature. After adopting it, laughter and laughter often floated in the sky above Zhuiyu Peak. This cub, which is only a little big, is indeed as recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing", "it can be taken care of".

But leaving the range of Zhui Yufeng, the situation is getting more and more serious day by day.

Chi Jingzi, who resisted the beast tide with Princess Longji, sent back news that the impact of the beast tide was more serious than they imagined.

At present, about one-tenth of the entire Great Desolate Continent, including the west, is captured by the horde of wild beasts, and this crazy group is still spreading outward.

There are countless races that have been invaded by the beast horde, so genocide tragedies happen from time to time, and it is difficult to attract people's attention, because they are also too busy to take care of themselves.

In Heaven, the matter has been raised to the highest alert.

Some people suspect that this is another calamity brought down by the Dao of Heaven. It is said that the Emperor of Heaven went to Zixiao Palace in person to ask for instructions from the incarnation of Dao of Heaven, Hongjun.

Even the Western religion, which has been secretly poking against Taoism and the Heavenly Court, stopped secretly targeting the Heavenly Court and the Three Teachings, and focused on resisting the beast tide.

In this tense atmosphere, the golden fairies naturally no longer have the time to visit Zhui Yufeng as guests. Only Daoist Huanglong came a few times, but his mood was obviously not as good as before, and the smile on his face was replaced by the gloomy color between his brows.

When Huanglong went to Zhuyufeng again, but this time, he came with a mission.

"Yuanshi Tianzun wants to see me?" Rong Ze was combing Xiao Xiaobai's hair, when he heard this, his hands stopped.

Xiao Xiaobai hummed dissatisfiedly, and arched his hand with his mouth, Rong Ze's attention was all on Huanglong, he just patted his head hair carelessly, and asked him to play with "Brother Dabai".

After getting along for this period of time, Xiao Xiaobai is not as afraid of Yuanshi as he was at first. As a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he even dares to climb on Yuanshi.

Of course, he was immediately thrown off by Yuan Shi with his big tail.

Xiaobai looked left and right, sniffed here and there, and even searched for the top of the tree where Yuan Shi usually stayed, but he couldn't find his "big brother".

There was a hint of doubt in the little guy's big dark eyes, and he suddenly realized that it seemed that it was always difficult to see Yuanshi these days.

While Xiao Xiaobai was looking for "Brother Dabai", Rong Ze took the opportunity to ask Huang Long: "Do you know why Tian Zun wants to see me?"

From the mouths of the golden fairies, he learned that Yuanshi Tianzun treated him differently, but he never understood why.

Could it be that, as Jin Xian guessed, Yuan Shi wanted to be the "mountain guardian" of Zhui Yufeng?

Huang Long didn't understand Yuan Shi's intention either, he was just a messenger.

"This... I dare not make random guesses." He struggled.

Rong Ze didn't blame him, if it were him, he wouldn't dare to speculate about the saint's mind.

He thought for a while and said, "Then wait for me, I'll come when I'm ready."

As he said that, he took off his apron, and went to the stream to wash his face, hesitating whether he should change clothes.

I heard that Yuanshi Tianzun loves cleanliness the most, so he dare not bring this smell of oily smoke to Yuxu Palace.

Seeing his apprehension, Huang Long comforted him: "Don't be too nervous, it probably won't be a bad thing."

If it was really a bad thing, Yuan Shi would not have asked him to make such a trip on purpose.

Rong Ze nodded thoughtfully: "Yes."

Obviously not comforted much.

Huang Long signaled Rong Ze to go to the Xiangyun he had summoned, and continued: "Don't look at the seriousness and desolation of the master, in fact, he is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and he loves us disciples very much. By the way, you also know the story about Taiyi and Lingzhuzi." You know, let me tell you, Taiyi’s protective nature is still a respected master. I think back then..."

In order to comfort Rong Ze, Huang Long told a lot of interesting stories about Yuan Shi's protection of his shortcomings along the way, successfully amused Rong Ze.

He did not expect that the noble and majestic Yuanshi Tianzun had such a down-to-earth side.Before he knew it, the image of the purple-clothed, silver-haired saint with a blurry face was not as far away as it used to be in his mind.

"Here we are." Xiangyun landed slowly outside Yuxu Palace, seeing that Rong Ze was still looking silly, Huang Long had to lean into his ear and remind him, "Cough, brother, pay attention."

Rong Ze immediately wiped off his smile, straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and followed Huang Long into the towering and solemn hall.

While leading the way, Huang Long quietly looked at Rong Ze's expression.

Most people who come to Yuxu Palace for the first time will feel ashamed in front of this magnificent and rare palace.

Even when he returned to Yuxu Palace for the first time, he was still emotional for a long time.

But Rong Ze didn't.

Although he was a little nervous to the naked eye, it was only because he was about to be received by Yuanshi Tianzun. This was the feeling of anxiety about meeting a big man.

For some reason, Huang Long suddenly had a thought: Maybe, he was born to belong to this kind of place.

Huang Long shook his head, and put this strange thought behind him.Then respectfully stepped forward and said, "Master, Rong Ze has brought you here."

He didn't hear Rong Ze's voice for a long time, he couldn't help being anxious, turned his head quietly, and was shocked——

Rong Ze just stood there in a daze, staring straight at Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Brother Rong, hurry up and talk!" Huang Long reminded in a low voice, sweating from his brow.

Rong Ze came back to his senses quickly, suppressed the shock in his heart, stepped forward and saluted according to the way Huang Long taught him: "Rong Ze pays homage to the Heavenly Lord."

"Excuse me." Yuan Shi lowered his eyes to hide the strange color in his eyes.

Knowing that Yuanshi wanted to talk to Rong Ze alone, Huang Long found an excuse to back down, and gave Rong Ze an encouraging look before leaving.

The latter couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth and nodded to him.

Seeing the familiar interaction between the two, Yuan Shi suddenly felt an inexplicable irritability from the bottom of his heart.

"Rong Ze," he suppressed his emotions, and said indifferently, "Do you know why this deity is looking for you?"

Rong Ze blinked, and then he recovered from the realization that "Yuanshi Tianzun is not only an 'old god' but also a handsome handsome man". At this moment, his brain was still a little empty, and he was stunned for a moment before saying: "I don't know——"

"What do you think, just say it."

Rong Ze took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said: "Boldly guess, the reason why Tianzun came to me was because of the crazy beast tide."

After finishing speaking, Rong Ze lowered his head, held his breath lightly, feeling a little nervous.

This statement was a bit bold, but it was the most reasonable explanation he could think of.

After learning of the existence of berserk beasts, he couldn't help thinking of the strange things he had encountered.

At first it was the crazy furbolg. He didn't think much about it at the time, but he felt strange afterwards.

The furbolg was clearly out of his mind at the time, and its madness was impressive.

But after meeting himself, its mood gradually stabilized, and finally it was able to be lured away by a jar of honey, which is really incredible.

If he hadn't met Fei Lian and Xiao Xiaobai later, he might have thought it was his luck.

But when he got in touch with the characteristics of the berserk beasts that Huang Long said, he suddenly realized that the strange beasts he encountered one after another were not all the manifestations of berserk?

The furbolg and Fei Lian were no longer around, and he couldn't do anything to prove it.

There is still Xiao Xiaobai.

When I met Xiao Xiaobai for the first time, the poor little guy had red eyes and was mentally disturbed.

And under his comfort, it gradually regained its sanity.Now, the little guy is very healthy, and there is no trace of berserk in the slightest.

Although this guess is absurd and a bit narcissistic, apart from that, Rong Ze really can't think of a reason why these berserk beasts would regain their sanity in front of him.

Obviously, according to Huang Long's statement, once the beasts go berserk, it is almost impossible for the beasts to return to normal.

Rong Ze lowered his head and waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the imaginary reprimand. He raised his eyes boldly, just in time to meet Shang Yuanshi's complicated eyes.

He knew he was right.

Yuan Shi's gaze was gloomy, as deep as a pool of water.

Rong Ze's intelligence was beyond his expectation.

Now that the prehistoric land is being infested by the hordes of berserk beasts, if this continues, the whole world will be swallowed by chaos one day.In order to prevent the situation from becoming hopeless, Yuan Shi decided to personally suppress the beast tide.

But then came the problem.

Kunlun Mountain is the ancestor of all mountains. Once there is a problem with it, it will lead to chaos in the world.

And when most of the staff of Chanjiao went out to deal with the beast horde, if there was no saint like Yuan Shi sitting in charge of this sacred mountain, I am afraid that the mad beast horde would follow one after another—according to the judgment of the heavens, they seemed to be particularly suitable for places with abundant spiritual energy. interested.

The beast tide is going to be wiped out, let alone the hometown.

In the end, Yuanshi chose to allocate half of his spiritual consciousness to stay in Kunlun Mountains, and with only half of his spiritual consciousness left, he went to suppress the beast tide.

Although this can take care of both ends, it also has a flaw: Yuanshi with only half of his spiritual consciousness, his cultivation level will also drop to the quasi-sage level.

Yuanshi, who was a quasi-sage, lost the ability to predict the future, which meant that the uncertainty had increased by a few percent.

In this case, it is difficult for him to continue to stare at the uncertain factor of Rong Ze.After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to take Rong Ze with him and observe him closely, especially paying attention to his performance in the face of the beast horde.

In this way, if Rong Ze really has a problem, he can subdue it in time.

And if the facts are the opposite, Rong Ze does have the power to suppress or even eliminate chaos, and use this power to suppress the beast tide and clear his suspicion, then it would be better.

Under Rong Ze's slightly uneasy eyes, Yuan Shi said slowly: "You are very smart."

Rong Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not about worrying about his "free food and free living" in Zhuyufeng.

"You must have noticed that you have a power that can appease wild beasts." Yuan Shi paused before continuing, "So, I want to invite you to go with me and destroy the beast tide together. Rong Ze, would you like it? "
