Chapter 736: Lotus Lantern - Fusang Wood 5
The Little Golden Crow escaped death and returned to Heaven, and reported the news that Yang Jian had killed the nine Golden Crows to the Jade Emperor. When the Jade Emperor learned that nine of his sons had died in one breath, he burst into tears and hated Yang Jian, the enemy who killed his sons, and immediately dispatched troops to the lower world to kill Yang Jian.
Unexpectedly, Yang Jian had already made preparations. After driving away Roaring Sky Dog on Qianyuan Mountain, he attacked the Heavenly Palace alone. Before the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals left the South Gate of Heaven, Yang Jian had already demolished the South Gate of Heaven. He shouted that he would kill the Jade Emperor with his own hands to avenge his dead father, mother and brother. The Heavenly Palace was immediately in chaos.
Seeing that Yang Jian was about to break into the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor's eyes changed, and he decided to save Yang Jian at all costs. So he ordered Marshal Tianpeng to open the gates and release the water from the Milky Way to drown Yang Jian.
Ruyi, who lives in the residence of the Ten Golden Crows, is at a critical moment. She has no idea that her good sister Ruoshui is about to be released. She only feels that she has reached her limit and can no longer absorb the Golden Crow's fire. If she continues to absorb it, her heart will be burned.
"That should be about right. This much should be enough to open the barrier. How about giving it a try first?"
Ruyi drew out a thin layer of Golden Crow Fire from her body to wrap herself up, and cautiously approached the barrier of the floating island. One step, two steps, three steps, Ruyi approached the previous barrier step by step. This time when she approached the floating island, Ruyi felt as if she was not burned as last time. She guessed that it might be because only one of the nine Golden Crows fell from the sky, or it might be because Ruyi absorbed the Golden Crow Fire and became resistant to high temperatures. In short, this time Ruyi finally succeeded in entering the floating island.
"Just like that? Coming in..."
To be honest, Ruyi herself couldn't believe how smoothly everything went. Was it really that easy to get in? What Ruyi didn't know was that if someone else had done each of the steps she took, they would have died long ago. Not to mention the weak water, just the Golden Crow Fire and the barrier of the Fusang sacred tree, which one of them couldn't be traced back to the ancient "Classic of Mountains and Seas" period? In other words, Ruyi's original body was the soul-calling bird in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", so she could take advantage of this slight similarity in origin.
There is only one big tree on the floating island, with luxuriant branches and leaves, towering to the sky, and out of reach. Ruyi standing under the tree is like an ant standing at the feet of an elephant. He can only see part of the trunk. If it were not for the fact that his spiritual sense could be expanded to see higher and farther, Ruyi would never have been able to know the full picture of this Fusang sacred tree.
"Wow, this tree is so big!"
After sighing, the question came, how can I break off a few branches from such a big tree? Where to break off, how many to break off, how to break off, and can I break off the branches?
All of a sudden, all kinds of questions filled Ruyi's head. She felt so annoyed that she wanted to give up. But giving up was impossible. Ruyi decided to try to see if she could just scrape some bark off the tree with her hands. So she walked under the tree, gently pressed against the trunk, and then began to use her fingernails to try to scrape the bark off the trunk.
At first, Ruyi thought that the Fusang sacred tree was also a tree, and the bark should not be that hard, so he did not dare to use much strength. After trying a few times and finding that it had no effect at all, Ruyi gradually increased his strength, but it still did not work. Finally, Ruyi had to transform his original claws into form, and began to use them to pick off some pieces of bark, but he did not expect that this would make a sound.
"Hehehe, it's so itchy, kid, are you here to scratch it for me?"
"I'm here... No!" Ruyi shook her head which was confused by this gentle motherly voice, trying to wake up. Where did this voice come from? Is there anyone else here besides me? Could it be... the Fusang sacred tree? ! !
"Are you the Fusang sacred tree?" For some reason, Ruyi did not sense any hostility from the figure just now, so Ruyi, who always disliked beating around the bush, chose to ask directly.
"Oh, yes. Little soul-calling bird, how did you survive until now? Didn't you become extinct long ago?" In ancient times, the world suffered a catastrophe. Except for some lucky or powerful creatures that survived, all others became extinct.
The Fusang Sacred Tree had never known that there was actually a soul-calling bird alive in this world. You know, in ancient times, the soul-calling bird was not only rare in number but also very weak. When a world catastrophe occurred, it was almost impossible for a weak creature like the soul-calling bird to escape. So when the Fusang Sacred Tree saw the soul-calling bird again after many years, it was really surprised.
"Ah? Are we extinct? I don't know. I just survived like that..." Ruyi knew that she was one of the creatures recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but she never thought that there was anything great about it. Why did she listen to the Fusang sacred tree and wondered if she was great?
Ruyi has been surviving by sucking souls since she became conscious. The reason why her surname is Song is because the first human being she traded with in her memory had the surname Song, so Ruyi took Song as her own surname. The reason why she is called Ruyi is because in her memory, Yuanshi Tianzun's weapon is the Sanbao Jade Ruyi, and she thinks Ruyi sounds nice and has a powerful meaning, so she called herself this.
But, what about before that? How did I survive before Yuanshi Tianzun, before humans had the surname Song? Strange, why can't I remember anything? Strange!
Ruyi wanted to ignore the sudden thoughts in her mind, but she couldn't. How did she survive such a long period of time from ancient times to the prehistoric times and then to the emergence of human beings?
Why can't I remember anything? Ah, my head hurts, why does it hurt so much!
Seeing that Ruyi had fallen into the devil's trap, the Fusang sacred tree suddenly sighed softly, and then a soft light floated out from the Fusang sacred tree and fell on Ruyi. Under the illumination of the soft light, Ruyi's confused head finally found peace and gradually calmed down.
"If you can't remember, don't think about it. It's okay."
"Fusang Sacred Tree, thank you..." Although he didn't know what had happened just now, Ruyi was not a person who liked to dwell on trivial matters, especially after he calmed down, he cared even less.
"Child, is there anything I can help you with?" The Fusang sacred tree was very caring towards Ruyi, a fellow countryman. Seeing that Ruyi was hesitant and looked like he had something to hide, the Fusang sacred tree took the initiative to ask.
"I, I..." The Fusang sacred tree had just helped him break the magic barrier, and he hadn't returned the favor yet. Now he was asking for her branches. Ruyi hadn't developed such a thick skin yet.
But perhaps because the Fusang tree was too friendly, Ruyi finally blushed and whispered her request. The Fusang tree said, "So that's all." It handed Ruyi an arm-long Fusang branch and said, "Is this enough? If not, I can give you some more."
