Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 496

Stepping through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it?
After getting Wujin and using it to break through the fourth barrier, Ma Yi'ao and I didn't move anything on the surface, but secretly we were always looking for the whereabouts of the last blind medicine, wanting to rush through the switch mouth, survive the five kalpas, achieve true awakening, and become a complete "spiritual stone monkey".

However, this thing is rare. For thousands of years, my countless predecessors have not achieved such an achievement. I also got the fourth one through shit luck. It is so difficult to expect to continue to be so lucky.

I am not the real "Monkey King", nor the protagonist of the novel, so how can it be so easy?
So this matter has never been done, shelved.

Even Ma Yi'ao's master Wang Chao'an, who used the influence of Empress Tian and Tianji Office to find out about this matter, has no trace, so what else can I expect?
However, it is such a coincidence that even when I had lost all hope, on such an occasion, this Chan Master Yongxiang from Shaolin Temple told us one thing, that is, he knew that evil whereabouts.

This is so surprising.

It wasn't me who got excited at first, but Ma Yi'ao next to him. He stepped forward, bowed long, and said excitedly, "Master, are you serious?"

Zen Master Yongxiang waved his hand and said, don't get excited, just listen to me first—I just know its approximate whereabouts, and I can't help you get it directly.

In order to avoid our misunderstanding, Chan Master Yongxiang began to chat about the information he knew.

As we all know, Shaolin Temple is a place with a relatively strong commercial atmosphere. This matter was led by a younger brother of Zen Master Yongxiang. Through various means, the reputation of Shaolin Temple has been carried forward. However, Shaolin Temple naturally still has its unique features, and the place where they practiced is not in the original temple, but in a deep stream in the back mountain pagoda forest.

It is precisely because of this unique and special advantage that Shaolin Temple has a special status. While maintaining its tyrannical strength, it also has a very well-informed source of news.

Many people even regard Shaolin Temple as a holy place for martial arts, thinking that "Kung Fu in the world comes from Shaolin".

This sentence must be an exaggeration. After all, although the cultivation method of Shaolin Temple is good, it can only be regarded as first-class in the whole situation of Jianghu.

There are at least seven or eight other sects and families that are comparable in size to it.

And what about super class?
Of course, this is a digression. Speaking of Umu, this thing first appeared in the Haineijing in "Shan Hai Jing". .

Someone explained that "暴" is connected with "Pu", so this Umu is actually "Pu Shu"-the hack tree mentioned here is of course not the famous male singer we are familiar with, but a kind of simple deciduous tree. The tree can reach a height of 20 meters. It is distributed in southern Henan, eastern Shandong, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the southern provinces, as well as Taiwan, Vietnam, and Laos. It is a fairly common plant.

But this thing is obviously completely different from the "poor wood" we are looking for.

Although there is no clue, but Ma Yi'ao once stayed in the National Library for three days and three nights, rummaged through countless classics, and finally confirmed one thing, that evil tree is actually the legendary Qi Tianmu in the practice circle.

What is Qi Tianmu?

In the Great Wilderness, there are Hengshi Mountain, Jiuyin Mountain, and Dongye Mountain. There are red trees with green leaves and red flowers, which are called Qitianmu.

This thing is so tall that it is said to be a product left over from the age of dinosaurs. The ancients believed that it could reach the sky, because the phoenix, a sacred object, would live here, so it was also called the Phoenix tree.

Later, the ancients discovered that this thing is very miraculous. It can not only be used as medicine, cure lumbago, paint sores, and dredge meridians, but the core can even stimulate people's blood vessels and cause qualitative changes. So disasters occurred, and a large number of Qitian trees were felled. As for the later Phoenix family, who had no tree to fall on, they finally chose the sycamore tree.

Some people think that the sycamore tree is the Qitianmu, which is wrong, just like Adidas, no matter how much Adidas looks like, it is not after all.

Having said so much, Ma Yi'ao came to the conclusion that the evil wood is actually the most essential part of Qi Tianmu.

It's just a piece of tree core.

Because of this, as the long-extinct Monkey King, it goes without saying how precious its core is, so Ma Yi'ao was so excited.

Later, Zen Master Yongxiang told us that the evil wood he learned was first in the hands of a local master named Gou Ge.

What is Tufuzi?
Tomb robber.

These guys are proficient in the method of identifying soil and caves, raging in old places everywhere, digging wantonly, and many of the relatively large tombs have already been obtained before they were excavated by archaeologists. The regular army is much stronger.

And this Tufuzi Gouge, who was born in Guanzhong, is a leader in their profession. It is said that since his debut, he has dug countless tombs of generals, monarchs and ministers, and the number of cultural relics he has passed has reached tens of thousands.

After reaching his stage, the need for money is actually enough, but the reason why he persists is more out of interest.

This guy likes to walk through the soil, looking for the truth covered by history, he is very fascinated by this feeling, and it is said that this guy has a fat mouse that can smell treasures, this thing has a developed sense of smell, much better than the Luoyang shovel, Helping him uncover many secret treasures, and also made Brother Gou famous in the business of Tufuzi.

But not long ago, the dog brother died suddenly.

According to his accomplices, he was cursed by the phoenix and finally burned himself to death.

That incident was quite terrifying. After the fire ignited, Brother Gou curled up in the water tank in the kitchen. As a result, even in the water, the flame did not go out, burning vigorously, and the large water tank about 1.6 meters high , a whole tank of water was evaporated, and the flame was just extinguished.

This process lasted for a full half an hour, and during this half hour, Brother Gou kept screaming heart-piercingly, and the sound hit his ears.

Later, Brother Gou's accomplices began to rush to deal with his relics, and they successively sold some things, including a lifelike wooden carving of a red bird.

The red bird is actually a phoenix.

That thing is about the size of a fist. At the beginning, no one knew the material, but the carving was exquisite, so there was a bid, but it was not too much. Knowing that, I think the material of this thing is likely to be the legendary evil wood.

It's just that this thing appeared in the world from the beginning, with an ominous omen, it has been transferred several times, each owner died strangely, and the house would often be ignited, burning everything, leaving only Download this thing, intact.

And Brother Gou's companions also died violently one after another, and their deaths were tragic.

As for why Zen Master Yongxiang knew so clearly, it was because the third owner of this object was one of his lay disciples. After his disciple got it, he specially found an empty cellar to store it, and then found it again. He asked about the solution.

However, Zen Master Yongxiang didn't know this, he could only persuade him not to cause trouble to his upper body, and then his disciple transferred the things away again. As for who owns it, Chan Master Yongxiang is not very clear.

Because his disciple also died suddenly when he set off for the southwest a few days ago.

After talking about this, Zen Master Yongxiang gave us an address, which is the residence of his disciples, and said that if you have time, you can go and have a look, and on my side, I will also go to Xinxiang to investigate this matter. If something happens, you will be notified.

Having said that, we exchanged communication methods.

Because we were not sure about the authenticity of this matter, Ma Yi'ao and I did not set off immediately. After all, there are a lot of things to be dealt with here, and it is impossible for us to go to Henan for such a piece of news.

But once we've dealt with the matter at hand, we still have to find it.

After all, according to Zen Master Yongxiang's description, I think that the possibility of the phoenix wood carving is actually very high.

After the brief exchange, we bid farewell and left.

Because of the exposure of our identities and the fact that the image of the human skin mask was useless, we simply stopped covering our faces and left directly down the mountain.

This place is actually not too far from the Emei Golden Summit. After we left the bamboo forest, we did not follow the crowd on the main road, but walked from the side, took trails, and crossed mountains and ridges without walking with others.

After walking all the way like this, when it was almost evening, a small village in western Sichuan appeared in front of us.

The smoke was curling up, and the smell of food seemed to be wafting in the wind. Unknowingly, I felt a burst of hunger in my stomach. I asked Ma Yi'ao, and he also had some, so I decided to go into the village to find something hot to eat. Set off with a full stomach.

However, just as the two were about to go to the village, Ma Yi'ao stopped.

He listened carefully, then turned his head suddenly, and said coldly: "Your Excellency must be tired after following this journey, why don't you show up, what do you want from us, let's have an open and honest chat?"

what?
Hearing this, I was astonished in my heart. I never thought that there would be people following me this way?

I don't know whether Ma Yi'ao's words are true or not. I looked around and found that there was nothing unusual in the mountains and forests, but Ma Yi'ao repeated a sentence. Seeing no one responded, I picked up a stone with my toe and weighed it. hand, then grabbed it, and slammed it towards a bush on the right.

blow……

The stone sank into the bushes, but a thin black figure emerged from it, and ran away towards the distance.

Sure enough someone!
