Honghuang on the tip of the tongue

Seeing Yuanshi approaching, Wukong said "Hello, Master" loudly, but did not get any response.

Seeing the back of Yuan Shi walking away quickly, he scratched the back of his head: What's going on?Master didn't hear?

He was thinking about going to Fei Yi to cut off the Taoism, but he didn't take it too seriously until the news came that Yuan Shi had returned to Kunlun Mountain alone.

"Why did the master go back alone without even saying a word?" Wu Wu couldn't read the air and Kong didn't notice the weirdness of the atmosphere, and asked loudly.

It was too late for Fei Yi to stop Wukong, he glanced worriedly at Rong Ze, who had no expression on his face, as if he was in a daze.

He vaguely guessed the reason why Yuanshi left without saying goodbye, probably because Rong Ze mentioned that Zixiao Palace might be related to chaos last time, and Yuanshi was upset.

But at this time Wukong also said: "So what should we do now?"

Flying wing:"……"

Good guy, are you just asking directly?

Just as Fei Yi was racking his brains to think of what to say to ease the atmosphere, Rong Ze said calmly: "Let's continue to act according to the original plan."

The original plan was to continue searching for the whereabouts of the tenth seal point.

Fei Yi was taken aback for a moment, they had checked the routes that Chang Cheng and Meng Huai had traveled during the past few days, and found no clues, except...

"Are you scared?" Rong Ze glanced at Fei Yi and asked calmly.

Fei Yi let out an "uh" and rubbed his hands together in embarrassment.

Admit it, it looks like you are worthless, deny it, that is deceiving.

He was a little trembling in the face of Yuan Shi, not to mention that the seniority of Zixiao Palace was higher than Yuan Shi.

Rong Ze: "If you find it difficult, you don't have to go."

This is impossible, he has learned his lesson once, and always remembers that his mission is to protect Rong Ze's safety, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​blood ahead, he still has to go for it.

Fei Yi gritted his teeth and said seriously: "Aze, I will go with you."

"And me, and me!" Wukong is a character who likes to join in the fun. Although he didn't understand the situation, he hurriedly followed up to express his opinion.

Rong Ze took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled: "Okay, then let's—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone yelling urgently: "His Royal Highness, there is something urgent in Kunlun Mountain!"

***

The Kunlun Mountain seal point is located in the abdomen of the Kunlun Mountain system. Since the outbreak of the beast tide, it has been strictly guarded. Yuanshi deliberately left half of Yuanshen here to guard in case of accidents.

After Yuanshi came back from the Mt. Yunmu, he locked himself in the sealing point and did not allow anyone to approach.

Half a day ago, the Kunlun Mountains shook suddenly, and the shaking lasted for half an hour before ending, causing quite a panic.

After investigation, it was found that the center of the seismic source was at the sealing point.

Even the Golden Immortals panicked now, the sealing point is of great importance, so they dare not slack off in the slightest.

However, no matter how they called outside, there was no sound from inside.

In the end, the golden fairies broke into the sealing point at the risk of being punished by Yuan Shi, but they were dumbfounded—Yuan Shi was not inside, leaving only a bead with a bulging belly and two narrow ends.

"It's the orb..." Rong Ze stared at the photo sent by Huang Long and said to himself.

He would never admit his mistake, that was the orb discovered by the Fire-Annoying Nation.

It is said that this bead dropped from the sky and has the effect of dispelling chaos.It was confirmed by the beginning of Yuan Dynasty that this is the property of Hongjun.

Later, Yuanshi took the orb to Zixiao Palace, Hongjun gave it to Yuanshi, and Yuanshi always carried it with him and never left his body.

Rong Ze's pupils contracted sharply, and he unconsciously grabbed a handful of air with his fingers.

He knew Yuanshi, this bead was given by Hongjun, and he would never throw it away at will.

Is it...

Thinking of a certain possibility, a chill shot up from the soles of his feet, and a large area of ​​his back was soaked.

The eyes are dark.

"Be careful." Fei Yi's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he rushed forward with a brisk step, grabbed his arm, and helped him to sit down.

Rong Ze's face was bloodless, as white as a sheet of thin paper, and it took him a while to recover. He declined Fei Yi's proposal to let him go to rest, collected himself, and asked, "What's the situation in Kunlun Mountain now?"

Yuan Shi suddenly disappeared at the sealing point.

Fei Yi hurriedly handed over Lingshentong, the call was always connected, and Huang Long was on the opposite side of the video.Huang Long looked haggard, and spoke quickly: "The situation is not very good. The beast horde outside the mountain seems to have sensed that Master is not there, and the attack has become more fierce. At present, our brothers and sisters are hiding this matter for the time being, but we will I don't know how long I can hide it..."

Yuan Shi was a saint, but disappeared in his own territory, and it was so strange, if this matter spread, it might cause great shocks.

In the past, there were berserk beasts staring at it, and later there were Western religions looking for opportunities to fish in troubled waters. It can be said that Chanjiao is facing another catastrophe after the war of self-proclaimed gods.

"Oops, the beast horde is coming again!" Huang Long looked very flustered, and hung up the call without saying a word.

Rong Ze stared at Lingshi Tong in a daze.

"Aze..." Fei Yi looked at him anxiously, his current appearance was very worrying.

"Let's go." Rong Ze suddenly said as if awakened from a dream.

Fei Yi was taken aback: "Where are you going?"

He looked over firmly: "Kunlun Mountain."

***

Changcheng learned that Rong Ze was about to leave, so he came to see him off, holding a palm-sized exquisite brocade box in his hand, which he said was a colorful jade ornament that Rong Ze had ordered from a jade carver before.

Rong Ze was stunned. There have been many turmoil in these days, he almost forgot about this matter, now when he thinks about the past, he feels like years have passed.

"Caiyu of this quality is rare even for me. Your Highness is really lucky." Chang Cheng sighed.

He opened the brocade box, and a pair of radiant jade gourds appeared inside, carved so lifelike that even the patterns on them were clearly visible.

"Your Highness, look at how beautiful this gourd is. Even the jade carver said that this is the most satisfying work in his life."

Rong Ze stared blankly at the pair of jade gourds with complicated eyes.

There are many kinds of jade carvings. The reason why he chose to use gourds as decorations is because of the meaning of "blessing", secondly, the gourd is a common sacred object in Taoism, and thirdly... it is because the wedding night drink "Hebei" has been practiced since ancient times. "Wine", the "卺" here refers to the gourd.

Not long ago, he still asked a jade carver to carve this pair of jade gourds with joy and shame, but now that the gourds are carved, the person who wanted to give them as a gift has disappeared.

Seeing that he was silent, Chang Cheng hesitated for a moment, carefully probing: "Your Highness, are you not satisfied?"

"No, I like it very much. Please, Mr. Chang Cheng, thank Master for me." Rong Ze came back to his senses, and tugged at the corner of his mouth.

It's a pity that his forced smile can deceive everyone, but not himself.

But no matter what, life still has to go on. The top priority is not to hurt the spring and autumn, but to clean up the mood and deal with the next challenge.

He carefully put away the jade gourd, took a deep breath, his gaze gradually became firm, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

***

Only Huang Long came to pick up Rong Ze and his party.

Fearing that Yuanshi's disappearance would cause panic and bring disaster to Chanjiao, the Twelve Golden Immortals temporarily blocked this news, and only a few elites in the teaching knew the truth.

When Huang Long saw Rong Ze, it was as if he had finally found his backbone. These days, he had been frightened and frightened, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Seeing him, Rong Ze also breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't explain clearly with his spiritual knowledge, he really wanted to know exactly what happened that day.

"As soon as the master returned to Kunlun, he locked himself in the sealed place and didn't explain anything. At that time, I wondered why you were not here, brother." Huang Long recalled, "Then there was an earthquake, which lasted for a long time. Many parts of the mountain have collapsed, and the area around the seal point is the worst, so we suspect that something happened inside."

"Our brothers rushed to the sealing point immediately, but no matter what we called the master, he didn't respond, and he didn't respond when he was beaten with spiritual knowledge. Finally, we found out that the master was not inside at all."

"Have you asked Daode Tianzun and Tongtian Cult Master?" Rong Ze asked in a deep voice.

Huang Long nodded: "As soon as we found out about the accident, we reported the matter to Uncle Daode and Uncle Tongtian. They made a divination for Master, but the result of deduction is... Sigh!"

Rong Ze's breath stagnated: "What is it?"

Huang Long pointed to the top of his head and sighed heavily: "The secret of heaven has been covered up in advance, so it cannot be deduced."

Rong Ze frowned: "Could it be related to chaos?"

He heard from Yuan Shi that Yuan Shi also quietly deduced his own origin when he first traveled here, but the secrets of heaven were still unable to be revealed.

Afterwards, they guessed that this incident might have something to do with Rong Ze's special experience and special physique.

Huang Long smiled wryly: "That's not clear. The two saints said they will continue to observe, but they don't know when they will have results."

Rong Ze: "Take me to the sealing point to have a look."

The sealing point was originally a forbidden area, and since Yuan Shi's inexplicable disappearance, it has been strictly guarded. Jin Xian took turns to stand guard, fearing that it would be difficult for even a small flying insect to get in.

Huang Long explained the reason for acting so cautiously: "After Master disappeared, those berserk beasts seemed to be crazy... No, they were already crazy. All in all, they became even more crazy, as if they knew something was wrong with the seal. Go to Kunlun desperately."

Originally, even if Yuanshi left Kunlun, half of Yuanshen would be assigned to guard Kunlun. With him, wild beasts could not get close.

Therefore, the Kunlun Mountain seal point has always been safe. Unexpectedly, this kind of incident happened now. It can only be described as "everything is impermanent".

Hearing that there was a change in the beast tide, Rong Ze was even more convinced that the accident must have something to do with Chaos.

He was thinking about the possible connection between the two, Huang Long handed over something: "At the sealing point, we found this."

The orb obtained in the Fire-hating Country exudes a light and soft pearly light, as holy as a touch of white snow on the top of a snow mountain that no one has ever set foot in.

Rong Ze stretched out his hand, and lightly stroked the pearl with his fingertips, the cold touch made his heart tremble slightly.

"This is the only thing left by Master, and we decided to leave it to you." This was the decision made by the golden fairies after discussion.

They may not know the relationship between Rong Ze and Yuan Shi, but they believe his sincerity towards Yuan Shi.

Rong Ze was taken aback for a moment, then carefully took the orb with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, I will definitely get Tianzun back."

With his promise, Huang Long heaved a sigh of relief.Maybe Rong Ze's personal strength is very meager, but don't forget, there is heaven behind him.

Huang Long: "If you have any needs, just say so, and we will satisfy you if we can."

Rong Ze: "I don't want the rest, just follow Tianzun's team and continue to follow me."

Huang Long nodded: "It's natural."

After a pause, he couldn't help but said, "Brother Rong, don't you... already have a clue?"

Rong Ze nodded, then shook his head: "It's just a suspicion at the moment, I still need to go to a place to verify."

"where?"

"The west."

***

The grievances between Taoism and Western religions have a long history, and can be traced back to the time when Hongjun preached.

In the past, Yingzhunti tricked her into getting two futons by selling miserably, and won two holy places for nothing, and also caused Taoist Hongyun to almost die, causing a lot of trouble.

Although Huang Long despises the conduct of the two saints in the West, he has to admit that in recent years the Western religion has become more and more powerful.

If it weren't for the outbreak of the beast horde, the whole prehistoric people would be busy resisting the wild beasts. I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be a vicious fight between the Taoist sect and the Western religion.

"So this accident was caused by the Western Church?" Huang Long stared angrily.

Rong Ze: "Not necessarily, but it may not be impossible."

Needless to say what Western religion has in mind, it can be seen from the fact that they sent believers to preach in the Yumin Kingdom that they have no empathy at all.

Anyway, for them, it wasn't the first time they had taken advantage of the fire to rob, and if they didn't keep it in order, it was because they were playing tricks behind their backs, trying to take advantage of the beast tide to bring down Chanjiao.

In his heart, Rong Ze actually hoped that the target would be the Western Sect, at least the opponent would be the Second Saint of the West, rather than...

***

The disappearance of Yuan Shi should not be spread to the outside world, Rong Ze intends to use the banner of "finding ingredients" to conduct a private investigation.

Anyway, everyone in the prehistoric world knew that the little prince of the heavenly realm was close to the chef, so doing so would not easily arouse suspicion.

In order to make the performance more realistic, he really collected a lot of edible animals and plants along the way, such as asparagus for deafness, Du Hengcao, which has a miraculous effect on tumors, and white cockroaches for eliminating sore throats, and for vitiligo. Howard fish and so on, it doesn't matter.

The farther you go to the west, the more depressed the scenery becomes, and the thicker the atmosphere of chaos becomes.

Ever since the West Pole Seal Point was breached by the beast horde, there were countless casualties in this area, and there was often no human habitation within a hundred miles.

It was the first time for Wukong to set foot in the territory of the Western religion. He was curious about everything, looked around and jumped up and down, and Rong Ze didn't restrain him. In many cases, the more he interfered, the more he would arouse his rebellious psychology.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wukong to lose interest. He plucked out a vellus hair out of boredom, blew lightly, turned into a little monkey, and let it lie on his shoulder.

He poked the little monkey's face and shouted, "It's boring, it's boring, why is the West so boring? It's different from what I've heard!"

He had heard people say that the West is very interesting, the scenery here is completely different from the prehistoric, there are gold, silver and jewels everywhere, and the voice of the Buddha can be heard everywhere.

Rong Ze smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Fei Yi let out a "hum" from his nasal cavity, and sneered: "The Western religion is best at deceiving people's hearts. You were deceived by those words that whitewash the peace."

Just as Wukong was about to agree, his expression froze suddenly, his ears moved, and he frowned, "What's the matter?"

Not only Wukong, but others also heard that strange voice, thin, a bit like a baby crying, sounding like nothing, shrill and painful.

This place is an abandoned village. From the destroyed buildings and the remaining clues, it can be seen that there was a terrible beast tide here.

The people present were not timid, but they were also terrified by the voice, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

It was Wukong who took the initiative to invite Ying: "Your Highness, I will go and have a look."

Wukong quickly walked back and forth, and replied: "There is a big hole in the ground ahead, and there is a fox with horns on its back in the hole. It seems to be injured."

"A fox with horns on its back..." Fei Yi suddenly thought of something, "Could it be Cheng Huang?"

"Is it the legendary beast that can add 2000 years of life by riding it?" Rong Ze became interested, "Let's go and have a look."

When I got to the place, I realized that the "big hole" that Wukong was talking about was actually a trap near the abandoned village.

The ride yellow beast didn't know how long it fell into it, its forelimbs were tightly clamped by a device similar to a trap, and it was ground to a bloody mess.

Seeing them coming, Cheng Huang, who was dying, barely raised his head, with vigilance in his eyes, and a weak cry from his mouth, which was the kind of cry that was almost like a baby crying they heard before.

Seeing this, Rong Ze hurriedly ordered: "Get him up quickly!"

At first, Cheng Huang thought they were the ones who set up the trap, and he struggled hard, adding a lot of difficulty to the rescue work.

"Ah Ze, no, this guy doesn't cooperate with us." Fei Yi stood in the trap and shouted helplessly.

While speaking, he was almost bumped by the horns on Cheng Huang's back, and was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot.

Good guy, it's not a joke if you get hit.

Rong Ze asked the people around him: "What is Chenghuang's usual eating habits?"

"I heard from the master that riding a yellow beast is addicted to sweets." A disciple of Chanjiao replied.

Rong Ze nodded, took out a handful of homemade candies from his portable space and threw it down, saying, "Give it a taste."

Fei Yi hurriedly caught it, peeled off the candy wrapper, carefully placed the candy in his palm, and handed it under Chenghuang's nose.

The candies made by Rong Ze are colorful in appearance and have a very attractive aroma. They are not made with additives, but are made with real fruits. For example, the strawberry candy Fei Yi took has a strong strawberry fragrance.

Fei Yi smelled it and couldn't help swallowing.

Cheng Huang's resistance became weaker and weaker, it sniffed, and struggle was written in its eyes.

It has not eaten since it fell into the trap, and its physical strength has been exhausted to the extreme.

In the end, it still couldn't resist the temptation, moved its head up, carefully stuck out the tip of its tongue, and licked it.

At first, it licked very reservedly, but soon fell into a trap. With a roll of its tongue, it rolled the whole candy into its mouth, chewing with a "creaking creaking" sound, and finally licked its lips, looking at Fei Yi with endless interest.

With candy as a "voting certificate", Chenghuang's attitude towards them is much friendlier, at least he no longer uses the horned people on his back.

After being rescued by Cheng Huang, everyone found that except for the forelimbs caught in the trap, the rest of the body was fine, but because of starvation and fear for several days, his spirit was not very good.

"It's a poisonous trap." Rong Ze frowned, watching the disciple who was good at medicine treat Cheng Huang's wound.

The design of the trap is extremely vicious, with rows of spikes on it, once caught by it, those spikes will penetrate deeply into the flesh, and the more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

At this time, Cheng Huang had completely let go of his vigilance towards them, and rubbed his head against Rong Ze's calf aggrievedly, as if begging for comfort.

Rong Ze sighed, and gently patted Cheng Huang's head.

Little guy, you have suffered a great crime.

Just as they were healing Chenghuang, there was a noise not far away.

Feiyi and Wukong looked at each other: It sounds like the visitor is not kind.

The author has something to say: "Shan Hai Jing Xi Shan Jing": "Eighty miles to the west, it is called the mountain of Fuyu. Its yang is more copper, and its yin is more iron. There is a tree on it, which is called wengan, but it is actually like jujube. , may be deaf."

"Shan Hai Jing Xi Shan Jing": "There is grass, its shape is like sunflower, and its smell is like scorpion. It is called Du Heng. It can walk on horses, and it has been eaten."

"Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing": "(the single mountain) there is a bird, its shape is like a pheasant, and its head, white wings, and yellow feet are called white 鵺, and it hurts to eat it, so it can be sick."

"Shan Hai Jing Zhong Shan Jing": "Fifteen miles to the east, it is called the mountain of pigs in the canal, and there are many bamboos on it. The water of the canal pigs flows out, and the south flows into the river. Among them are many giant fish, shaped like tuna, red The red feathers at the beak and tail may have white ringworm."

"Shan Hai Jing Hai Hai Xi Jing": "The country of Baimin is in the north of Longyu, with a white body and hair. There is Chenghuang, which looks like a fox, with horns on its back, and Cheng's life span is two thousand years old."
