Chapter 417: Branches of the Queen Mother of the East The nine people from Fuqiu, a cat and a fox stepped on the land of Modu Mountain. "It is said that there used to be thick fog here, which could not be blown away by wind or washed away by rain. Once people walked in, they would lose their way. If you suddenly heard someone calling you in the fog, and you answered subconsciously, you would follow the voice and never come back." The third brother showed off his knowledge and looked around, "We may be the first living people in hundreds of years who can walk in here and walk out." Many senior brothers also looked around. It is a sunny day here now. There is not a single cloud in the blue sky above our heads, and the sun is shining so brightly that the sky seems to be glowing. But in fact, even during the day, the yin energy here is very heavy, and there is a lingering evil spirit. The reason why the weather is so good is entirely due to the gods, who are using it to slowly dispel the yin and evil spirits here. Even in the daytime, this mountain plain is inky black. It looks better when viewed up close, as it is a mottled gray-ink color. The farther you look, the darker the color becomes, until it becomes completely black. It is a strange scenery. Today this enchanted mountain has a visitor. Another fox and a colorful civet cat, because they heard what the third senior brother said, took small and quick steps and walked to the front. "In this battle, the brave bean soldiers handed down from the temple suffered a lot of losses, right?" asked the second senior brother.

"Some." The eldest brother answered briefly. "Ah, the elders in the temple kept them here, and these heroes are willing to stay here, isn't that the purpose?" The third brother said calmly, "At most, when I'm about to die, I'll ask for the consent of those heroes who followed me and send them back to Fuqiu Temple!" "What if you have descendants?" asked the seventh senior brother. “Send half back too!” "Everyone, please look——" The seventh brother spread his hands and said, "The third brother in the past would have said with contempt without hesitation - I have lived a carefree and unrestrained life, without any restrictions or hindrances, how could I have descendants?" Everyone looked at each other and thought it made sense. "Brother, I don't want to argue with you." The third brother shook his head and changed the subject, "As for those damaged bean soldiers, the eldest brother will be busy when he returns, and a lot of materials will be needed to repair them." "It's okay." The eldest brother said honestly. "But being able to obtain so many magical instruments and treasures is also a kind of compensation." The third brother said, "Where have we seen these good things in the Taoist temple before?" "In fact, there were some in the past, and so did our former disciples." The eldest brother answered truthfully, "but most of these treasures are at the foot of the mountain. During the turbulent times, our ancestors would go down the mountain and obtain many treasures, but after bringing them back to the mountain, they would give one to each disciple. By the time we reached the peaceful times, they had all been given away. By the time we reached the end of the peaceful times, they were long gone." "I said so!" Several senior brothers were chatting and being alert. Lin Jue lowered his head and said to the fox who had walked back to his side: "What new magic have you learned?" "I didn't learn any magic!" The fox looked up at him and gave three reasons in a row, "I was tired! I didn't have time to drink! I'm not that good! So I only learned one thing!" "Same? What did you learn?" “I learned…” The fox was about to speak, but after rolling his eyes, he stopped and said, "I'll tell you when I learn it!" "Are you still keeping me in suspense?"

"Cans? Not for sale!" "Ah……" Lin Jue smiled and thought about it. It is said that the Queen Mother of the East has several great magical powers, including the method of longevity, which should be "taking life and granting longevity". This magic has already been passed down to her. The others are the method of splitting into two, the Yang-Swallowing Formation, and a magical power that all plant and wood monsters have, which allows them to save their lives and make themselves elusive. Although the Yang-Swallowing Formation is powerful, it has to be set up in advance and is mainly used in wars or other specific scenarios. It is useless in personal combat, so Lin Jue is not very interested in it. Lin Jue also possessed the same magical power to save his life. Moreover, the magical power of this kind of plant demon might be related to its own body, which humans might not be able to learn. The most powerful one is the method of splitting oneself into two. The Queen Mother of the East's clone technique is not the kind of clone illusion that the rat demon had. Her clone is a real clone with the power to become a real person and can fight and hurt people. This is a great magical power that is not inferior to the method of controlling objects, making flowers bloom in an instant, having three heads and six arms, and making anything big or small as desired. However, Queen Mother of the East did not die in Ziyun, and her life or death is unknown now. The fox must not have learned this magical power yet. As for other magical powers... There were too many monsters below that day, including some big ones, and each of them had their own abilities and strange magic powers. However, as the fox said, it was in a tense fight at that time and had no time to "drink" the magic powers of other monsters. Later, it had to go to Jiguang County, Boyu County, and Letian County. It finally came back and had some time, not to mention whether the aura of the monsters below had dissipated. At that time, it was injured and tired, and had no intention of "drinking" the magic powers. What skills are worth it to go out of its way to acquire them? Lin Jue guessed that it was probably some strange method. If they continued forward, they gradually walked into the depths of Modu Mountain and also into the battlefield of the battle between gods and demons. The originally flat ground became bumpy. Lin Jue saw the pile of earth that was pushed up, the big pit that was smashed, the traces of lightning strikes all over the ground, and the corpses of monsters that were burned clean on the ground, leaving traces on the ground. You can also see what they looked like before they were born and what posture they were in when they died. There were also many magical instruments dropped on the ground. The fox walked close to Lin Jue, protecting him. Several people became more cautious. it is necessary. As long as the Queen Mother of the East is not dead, no matter how the True Lord fights her, no matter how badly she is injured, she is still a demon king who has achieved enlightenment, which is far different from others. The biggest difference is that she has truly attained enlightenment and is above the mundane world, while the others, no matter how high their cultivation level is or how deep their attainments are, are ultimately mortals - if Lin Jue cannot use magic, in extreme cases, there is still the possibility that he will be beheaded by a warrior or shot through the chest by a hidden arrow. So you have to be careful. While being careful, he also looked around. Although the brothers seemed generous in front of Lin Jue, they were actually very frugal. When they saw the magical instruments dropped on the ground, they did not want to waste them at all and had to go forward to check carefully to see if they were damaged and whether they were useful. Those that are intact must be accepted. Those that are damaged in the battles of the heavenly soldiers and generals but still have value, such as those made of spiritual gold and spiritual wood, must also be accepted. Not long after, several people suddenly stopped. At this time, they stopped in front of a huge gully, which seemed to be a deep canyon formed by nature. Looking down at the depth, they all fell silent. This was done by Lord Fuchi.

"Legend has it that there are gods who can move mountains and split the earth. It turns out to be true." The third brother murmured to himself. “Even if we achieve enlightenment, I’m afraid we will still be far from being as good as Lord Fuchi, right?” said the fourth brother. Lin Jue was also deeply shocked. Then he came to his senses and pointed forward: "This sword light and this deep ditch should lead to the body of the Queen Mother of the East. If we follow it, we can find the Queen Mother of the East." "Um……" They all nodded and walked forward. At the same time, the fox looked up first. Lin Jueshun raised his head—— There are already heavenly soldiers and priests in the sky. But when the mountain wind blew, even though it was a sunny day with the sun shining brightly, it felt a little chilly. The dust and sand came together, and under the blue sky, the vision became a little blurry and dim. A faint golden light shone through the sand in front, and the ground became more irregular, as if the legendary earth dragon had drilled back and forth here countless times. I could vaguely see a ghost floating around, murmuring something that was hard to hear: "Accept my five tribes... "Opposing me will bring disaster..." It fluttered and swayed, passing by several people. "He is a fanatical follower of the Queen Mother of the East. I'm afraid he was eaten by the Queen Mother of the East, leaving behind his soul, which has now turned into a wandering ghost." said the third senior brother. "He looks familiar." The junior sister said, frowning, "He seems to have left Ziyun County that day." "possible……" Suddenly there was a loud bang and a bolt of thunder descended! The ghost was instantly frightened away. Several people looked up and saw feather-thin clouds floating in the distant sky. The priest on the clouds was withdrawing his hand. Seeing them, the priest descended from the sky with two heavenly soldiers. "Who's down there?" The priest's voice was dignified and his face was serious. "We are Taoists from Yishan. We originally stayed in Ziyun City to protect the people." The third senior brother came forward and said. "Yishan? Ziyun?" The priest's expression eased up when he heard this. "So you are the Taoist priests guarding Ziyun County. Thank you for your help and hard work. But what are you doing here?" "We want to come and see if the Queen Mother of the East has been eliminated." The third brother said, "If she has been eliminated, we can go back." "The demon king like the Queen Mother of the East has been enlightened for hundreds of years and has built an underground demon kingdom here. Even if she is defeated, it is not so easy for her to die. Especially since she has deep roots and many clones, and as a spirit of the immortal tree, she has infinite vitality. Therefore, my master has set up a golden light shield here to refine her to death inside, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter." "..."

Lin Jue and his third senior brother looked at each other. It seems that this place has been guarded by the True Lord. The Longevity Tree is one of the rare spiritual plants in the world. Now the one here is a real Longevity Tree with the body of a demon fairy. Even a True Lord would be tempted. In this case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get it. "May I ask your Master..." "Under the command of Tianweng, this is the True Lord Baosheng!" "It turned out to be Lord Baosheng." "Masters, you have done a great job protecting the people. You should not stay here for long. Please leave as soon as possible." The priest said, "If you want to leave, you can leave now." Lin Jue and his third senior brother looked at each other again. At the critical moment, it was the third brother who had the thick skin and said: "We have come all the way from Mount Yi to learn the art of carving beans into soldiers, which requires spiritual wood. In the battle a few days ago, the nine of us brothers and the bean soldiers that have been accumulated in the Taoist temple for thousands of years lost most of their soldiers in order to protect the people and to help your master. We need to replenish and repair them, and we urgently need the best spiritual wood! We know that the Queen Mother of the East is a spirit of the immortal wood, and she is as tall as a cloud, so we came here specifically to look for some of her fallen branches!" There were three people who practiced the method of carving beans into weapons: Lin Jue, the third senior brother and the eldest senior brother. He opened his mouth and they became nine. Thousands of years of accumulation, multiplied several times. Lose some, become most of it. The priest in the sky was stunned. "This……" "What's this? Didn't we help your Lord? Didn't we kill the clone of the Queen Mother of the East? Such a big tree of immortality is dead now. Does your Lord want to occupy the whole tree?" The third brother said, "As a dignified Lord, I don't think you would be so stingy!" "The little god must ask the true master for instructions..." When the priest heard that they had killed the clone of Queen Mother of the East, his attitude became obviously better. The priest was seen riding on a cloud and disappeared without a trace. After a while, he came back. "My Master said that although he fought with the Queen Mother of the East that day, he could also see clearly that the Taoist priests in Ziyun County did make great efforts and worked very hard. The story of carving beans into soldiers is also true. Although the branches and trunks of the Queen Mother of the East are precious, they can also be given to the Taoist priests." The priest said, "The Queen Mother of the East did have branches that fell outside the golden light cover. The Master said that the nine Taoist priests cannot add anyone else. This is the only time, so take as many as you can!" (End of this chapter)
