Honghuang on the tip of the tongue

After leaving Heishui City and heading north, the temperature is getting lower and lower.

Although it is still summer in season, Rong Ze has already changed into autumn clothes.

Leaving the sphere of influence of Kunlun Mountain, the farther north one goes, the stronger the atmosphere of chaos becomes.Rong Ze didn't feel anything, but Fei Yi and his group all experienced dizziness and nausea to some extent.

Yuan Shi said that this is a manifestation of the thinness of aura.

Helpless, they had no choice but to change the original way of soaring clouds, because soaring clouds consumes a lot of spiritual power, and if they continue, some people may not be able to bear it.

On this day, they were blocked by a patch of Wang Ze.

"Strange, the map clearly shows that there is a road ahead." Fei Yi wondered after comparing the map on Lingshitong.

Because the aura is too thin, the signal of Lingshitong has been cut off, and it is impossible to communicate with the outside world. Only the map can be used normally with basic functions.

Rong Ze shook his head with a wry smile: No need to ask, this is probably another "beast disaster" caused by the beast tide.

Along this road, there are mountains and forests trampled and destroyed by beasts' hoofs, towns burned by wild beasts, farmlands flooded by floods, and lives tragically lost in the beast tide.

The disaster of the berserk beast tide was more serious than they imagined.

Yuan Shi stood by the water, with his hands behind his back, the corners of his eyes lowered, and his jaw tensed.

There used to be thousands of acres of fertile land here, but now the floods are raging, and the accumulation and development of many years have been destroyed like this.

Everyone could see that Yuan Shi was in a bad mood, and no one dared to touch him.

A group of people pushed and shoved, Rong Ze couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward: "I'll do it."

Under the eyes of everyone adoring, Rong Ze walked up to Yuan Shi and said softly: "Tianzun..."

Yuan Shi glanced at him, and there was a cold light in his smoky purple eyes, which made people feel appalled.

Rong Ze's calf was a little twisted, and he asked bravely, "How should we cross the river?"

The best way is naturally to fly over, but the area of ​​the water pool here is vast, and there is no end in sight, I am afraid that some people will not be able to bear it if they fly down.

Yuan Shi turned his head, his cold eyes swept across everyone's faces, Fei Yi and the others swallowed, their faces full of nervousness.

They were all afraid of being sent back to Kunlun Mountain by Yuan Shi because of lack of energy, which was too embarrassing.

Fortunately, Yuan Shi didn't say anything, and with a wave of his sleeve, a slender willow leaf appeared in his hand.

He tossed the willow leaves into the water at will, and the leaves, which were only finger-wide, swelled rapidly, and finally turned into a willow-leaf boat that could accommodate 20 people.

"Wow!" Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

The feeling of riding a willow-leaf boat in the water is very strange. Rong Ze deliberately chose the bow of the boat to feel the feeling of riding the wind and waves.

Suddenly, he frowned, stood up abruptly, and turned around, "I seem to hear a cry for help."

As the willow-leaf boat gradually approached, the sound became more and more obvious.

Finally, they found a piece of driftwood floating on the water, which was hugged tightly by a spirit beast that looked like a cow, and it was obviously the one that made the cry for help.

"It's the collar beast." Fei Yi recognized the other party's identity.

Everyone rushed to rescue Linghu on board the boat. It seemed to be dying. Someone fed him a herbal medicine, and he gradually regained his energy.

"Thank you, thank you Daxian for your help!" Linghu kowtowed to everyone, crying with snot and tears.

Rong Ze opened his eyes wide in surprise. It was the first time he saw a spirit beast that could speak human words after being cultivated into a spirit monster, and he found it very strange.

From Linghu's incoherent description, everyone learned that he was meditating in the nearby mountains, and he didn't want to see a sudden tide of wild beasts. The wild beasts in the mountains either died in the hands of wild beasts or were polluted by the energy of chaos. , transforming into a berserk beast.

It was lucky to lead Hu. With 200 years of practice, he barely escaped.Even so, it was not lightly injured.If it wasn't for meeting Rong Ze and the others, I'm afraid they wouldn't last long.

"They are too scary!" Thinking of the frenzy of the beast tide, the leader Hu couldn't help but shuddered, and tremblingly said, "Especially the leading one, which caused the flood..."

"Wait!" Rong Ze interrupted him suddenly, and asked in confusion, "You mean the leader? There is still a leader in the mad beast?"

As far as he knew, the berserk beasts were chaotic, and there was no one who could be called a "beast".

After all, you can't expect a crazy beast to understand commands, can you?

"Yes, it's the Hepis!" Linghu said resolutely, his expression did not seem to be fake.

This time, not to mention Rong Ze Feiyi and the others, even Yuan Shi, who was silently sitting in the stern of the boat with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked over from afar.

Rong Ze held his breath and hurriedly asked: "Then, is there any special performance about the dog you mentioned?"

It's a pity that Linghu's expressive ability is not good, and because he was frightened and unsteady, he repeated those few sentences:

"Hey is their head, and those monsters obey its orders. There used to be a lake on the mountain, a very big lake. It was Hey who ordered the monsters to knock down the mountain, so the lake flowed down and flooded here .”

"It's terrible, it's terrible, the sky and the ground are full of water, it was brought by Heya!"

"What did you say? This flood was released by Heyao?" Rong Ze was shocked.

"Water, what a huge amount of water!" Linghu held his head, his face collapsed, "It's terrible... dead, everyone is dead..."

Seeing that there was nothing useful to ask, the leader Hu was overly frightened and almost collapsed emotionally. He cried several times, and everyone had to let him go after the boat docked.

"You guys said, is the leader's nonsense true?" Someone broke the silence, "Is that coyote really as scary as he said? From his description, it seems that the coyote is not crazy. Will command the berserk beast to hit the mountain and release the water."

"He didn't need to lie to us, but I think it might just be that the dog was particularly ferocious, which left a deep impression on him and made him mistakenly think that it was intelligent." Fei Yi threw a piece of dried meat into his mouth, chewing it deliciously .

He shrugged: "Everyone knows that Berserk Beasts are a group of lunatics. How could they know so much? I think this should be just an accident."

Rong Ze opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't make a sound.

Yuan Shi glanced across his face, and suddenly said: "If you have any ideas, you can speak directly."

"Aze?" Fei Yi didn't know why, so he didn't even eat dried meat, and the others looked over curiously.

"Cough, I do have a different opinion." Rong Ze cleared his throat, hesitantly said, "Actually, I'm a little skeptical, has that cat evolved?"

"Evolution?" Everyone looked at each other, unfamiliar with this term.

Even Yuan Shi also showed a look of interest.

"It probably means to develop abilities that you didn't have before. It's like a spirit beast suddenly appears in a group of ordinary beasts. This is a kind of evolution." Rong Ze simply explained.

"This statement is very interesting." Fei Yi commented, and he showed a look of great interest, "So you suspect that the cooperation is 'evolving' the wisdom that did not belong to it?"

Rong Ze nodded: "It can be said so. All life in the world has the possibility of evolution, how do you know that mad beasts can't evolve?"

"If it's really like what you said, wouldn't the berserk beasts be more difficult to deal with?"

"Logically speaking, that's true." Rong Ze lightly bit the soft flesh on the inside of his cheeks, with a serious expression, "In the past, mad beasts only knew how to rampage, even if there were mountains of knives and seas of fire in front, they dared to rush in, because they They don't know what it means to be afraid, let alone death. But the evolved berserk beasts know that they can flood the mountains and forests with water, and cause huge losses at a very small cost."

"This, this is really..." Fei Yi's face turned pale, and he didn't know how to evaluate it.

"But this is just my guess, it may not be right." Rong Ze said in relief.

But obviously, his consolation didn't help much.No one spoke along the way, and the atmosphere was extremely dull.

Even Xiao Xiaobai, who loves to play and make trouble on weekdays, nestled quietly in Rong Ze's arms, looking not energetic.Rong Ze stroked its head lightly, his eyes showed worry.

No wonder Xiao Xiaobai would do this.

Not to mention the comparison with Zhuiyufeng, which is beautiful and full of aura, the environment here is even far inferior to Heishui City, which has been infested by beast hordes.

The aura is thin, scorched earth is everywhere, and the air is filled with a lifeless breath.

But Rong Ze has no better way, he can only hold Xiao Xiaobai tightly, and according to the method Yuan Shi taught him, transfer the "purification technique" wandering in the body to his beloved pet, which will make it feel better.

Others don't have the same treatment as Xiao Xiaobai, so they can only bear it.

Fei Yi is the best of this group of youngsters regardless of his aptitude or depth of knowledge, but even he seems a little tired.

In the end, Yuanshi spoke and asked everyone to rest in place before setting off.

Rong Ze saw that everyone was not in good spirits, so he thought about making some appetizers for them.

The method is convenient and quick, and the spicy and sour hot and sour powder is undoubtedly the best choice.

When he was in Yufeng, Rong Ze harvested a lot of sweet potatoes, and used some of them to make sweet potato flour.

He took a part out, soaked it in cold water, cooked it in boiling water, picked up the cold water, and put it in a bowl for later use.

Then start preparing the chutney.

Mature vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil... Stir all kinds of sauce ingredients evenly to make hot and sour soup with bright red color and tangy aroma.Pour in the translucent vermicelli, sprinkle with green onions and golden peas, and you have a mouth-watering hot and sour vermicelli.

The group of youths who were still listless just now looked like they had been injected with chicken blood, and they were all full of energy. Without waiting for Rong Ze's order, they spontaneously lined up to get their meals.

"Here, be careful of scalding." Without raising his head, Rong Ze handed over a white porcelain bowl filled with hot and sour powder.

The other party hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Can you make it less spicy?"

This sound is...

Rong Ze raised his head abruptly, and Yuan Shi was indeed in front of him.

"It's less spicy, right?" He reacted quickly, making the sauce deftly with his hands and feet, "Do you want more vinegar or less?"

"More." Yuan Shi's voice was cold and deep.

It is obviously such a smoky thing, but it is isolated from the world when it comes out of his mouth.The hot air rising from the cauldron is like mist or smoke, like the incense burning in Yuxu Palace.

"Less spicy and more vinegary, I understand." Rong Ze suddenly laughed for some reason.

"Cough, I'm sorry." Rong Ze straightened his expression, and handed Yuanshi the remade hot and sour noodles.

Yuan Shi gave him a strange look, and took it silently.

His intuition told him that it was better not to know what Rong Ze was laughing at.

After Yuan Shi walked away, Rong Ze squatted down, touched Xiao Xiaobai who was so hot that his eyes were full of tears but still held the bowl and refused to put it, and whispered: "Xiao Xiaobai, do you know that Tianzun's taste is as clear as yours?" Brother is very similar."

It seems that there is nothing more refreshing than having a steaming meal of hot and sour noodles after being exhausted physically and mentally.

The teenagers, who were too tired to communicate with each other, have fully recovered at this moment, and when they set off again, they were all alive and full of energy.

However, this may not be all due to the bowl of hot and sour noodles.

"Wait, did you find out that the aura seems not as thin as before." Someone said something, and everyone agreed.

Rong Ze couldn't feel the amount of aura, but he also felt a great change in the surrounding environment:

Originally, along the way, as far as the eye could see, there were almost all the ruins left by the beast tide, which seemed particularly lifeless.

Now, they only occasionally saw the traces left by the beast tide, which was much better than before.

Yuan Shi stopped, looked into the distance for a moment, and said, "Fajiu Mountain is ahead."

"Fajiu Mountain? Isn't that the site of Fairy Jingwei?" Fei Yi suddenly realized, "No wonder, Fajiu Mountain is the most sacred mountain in Honghuang. Fairy Wei sits in command, so it's normal for wild beasts not to dare to approach."

Jingwei?The one who filled the sea?

Rong Ze's eyes widened, and his cheeks were dyed a light pink because of his excitement.

His reaction seemed a little weird in the eyes of others.

"Aze, are you hot?" Fei Yi asked puzzled, "Your face is so red."

Yuan Shi's eyes swept over lightly, and his eyes darkened a little.

Rong Ze hurriedly waved his hands: "No, I'm just... a little excited."

Obviously, no one present could understand his mythological feelings.

In the eyes of Fei Yi and the others, Jing Wei is certainly a famous female fairy, but that's all.In terms of strength, fame, and family background, she is not the strongest among the female fairies.

"Speaking of which, Fairy Jingwei lives in Fajiu Mountain all year round, so she should know more about the situation here, right? How about we ask her about the situation of the local beast horde." Someone suggested.

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and even Yuan Shi did not object.

Since the outbreak of the beast horde, the communication in all parts of the prehistoric region has been paralyzed. It is really not easy to know the local situation.

So a group of people adjusted their itinerary and set off in the direction of Fajiu Mountain.

The closer you get to Fajiu Mountain, the more you can feel the demeanor of the "Sacred Mountain" in the rumors: the mountains here are majestic, surrounded by fairy mist, and the aura is not as thin as other places.

In such an environment, Xiao Xiaobai regained his energy and didn't need Rong Ze to hold him. He was so excited that he rushed forward with joy, and couldn't even scream.

Rong Ze couldn't catch up, so he had to let Fei Yi follow it closely so as not to cause any accidents.

However, not long after, Fei Yi hugged Xiao Xiaobai and hurried back, and heard him yelling from a long distance: "There is a big palace ahead!"

***

Fajiu Palace is the residence of the goddess Jingwei.

His father, Emperor Yan, loved his daughter so much that he purposely built such a magnificent palace on Fajiu Mountain, occupying the entire hill.It is said that it is comparable to the Guanghan Palace of Fairy Chang'e and the Auspicious Palace of Princess Longji.

So it's no wonder Fei Yi was so excited after seeing Fajiu Palace.

Everyone quickened their pace and soon saw the legendary Fajiu Palace.

The whole palace is built against the mountain. Although the main part is hidden in the deep green shade, you can't see the whole picture, but you can feel it from the exposed part. It is indeed a beautiful palace.

But before they got close to Fajiu Palace, they were stopped by a group of guards who appeared from nowhere.

From the vigilant expression and scrutiny of the other party, it is not difficult to find that they are criminals who have trespassed into the private domain without authorization.

Naturally, someone stepped forward to negotiate with the guards, and it seemed that the process was not very smooth.

Rong Ze faintly heard arguing voices such as "the master doesn't see guests" and "you go away", he sneaked a glance at Yuan Shi, wondering if this was the first time Tianzun was rejected by people.

In fact, this is what they "asked for", who told them not to reveal their true identities——

The incident in Heishui City aroused Yuan Shi's vigilance. In order to avoid leaking his whereabouts and causing unnecessary troubles, he deliberately confessed that he was not allowed to reveal his identity to the outside world. He only said that he was teaching three generations of disciples, and asked Fei Yi and others to call him "Master Uncle" in front of others. .

But obviously, the status of "disciple of Chanjiao" still has a certain deterrent effect, and finally the other party agreed to go in and report: "As for whether the master wants to see you, it is not up to me to wait."

Fei Yi rolled his eyes and murmured to Rong Ze: "Hey, isn't he just a golden fairy, and the ostentation is bigger than that of the master. Aze, you don't think there are any secrets hidden in Fajiu Palace... ..."

Before Rong Ze could answer, he saw a lean and capable middle-aged man walking towards them in a hurry.

"Fellow Daoist from Interpretation, I'm really sorry for my ignorance." As soon as they met, the man bowed and apologized to them with a sincere attitude, and even Fei Yi couldn't find anything wrong with them.

After taking a breath, the other party introduced himself again: "The young one's name is Jiang Kui, and I'm the chief steward of Fajiu Palace."

Rong Ze raised his eyebrows lightly, thinking that this would be interesting, the doorman was arrogant, but the chief manager was extremely humble.

Fei Yi was already smoldering with anger, but he couldn't let it out after the head manager made such a move.

As for Yuan Shi, he still had that indifferent look of not being interested in anything.

Director Jiang bowed and apologized, some of them talked a lot, and finally returned to the topic: "You are distinguished guests, and there is absolutely no reason to drive you out when you are approached by distinguished guests."

After a pause, he put his eyebrows together, looking very embarrassed: "It's just that my master has been practicing in seclusion recently, so he ordered no visitors—"

"It's okay. I'm just passing by here, thinking of paying a visit to Fairy Jingwei, but even if I can't see her, it's the same outside her retreat place." Yuan Shi said.

Including Rong Ze, it was rare for everyone to see Yuan Shi say such a long series of words in one breath, and the tone was so humble, they were stunned for a while.

Rong Ze was the first to react: Yuan Shi has spoken, of course he has to cooperate with all his strength.

He also pleaded: "Yes, yes, Director Jiang, if the teachers in the teaching know that we passed by Fajiu Mountain and did not pay a visit to Fairy Jingwei, they will definitely blame us for not being polite."

For the sake of this, it would be unreasonable not to agree.

The chief executive's eyes flickered: "Then, everyone, please come in."

The author has something to say: Yuan Shi: Ah Ze helped me speak, he is so caring!

"Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing": "(Yangshan) there is a beast, its shape is like a cow with a red tail, its neck is like a Qu, its name is Linghu, its cry is from 詨, and it is crazy to eat."

"Shan Hai Jing Dong Shan Jing": "Two hundred miles to the northeast, it is called Mount Shan, rich in gold and jade. There is a beast, its shape is like a pig with a human face. It has a yellow body and a red tail. Its name is Heyao, and its sound is like a baby. Beasts also eat people, and also eat insects and snakes, and when they see them, the world will be flooded."

"Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing": "The mountain of Fajiu has many trees on it, and there are birds, its shape is like a crow, its head is white, its beak is white, and its feet are bare. It is called Jingwei, and its song is its own."
