Eternal Tranquility

That night, everything is silent and full of blood. Dushuo Mountain, shrouded under the huge canopy of the Innate Ghost Peach Tree, is like a dormant giant beast, gradually falling asleep amidst the dreamlike sound of waves in the vast mirage sea.

The whimpering ghost cry suddenly broke the silence of the night sky. It was like weeping and complaining, and the resentment penetrated into the bones, making people feel chills standing on end after hearing it.

It was a wandering spirit floating in the canopy of the tree, whining and whining while idly circling around a peach branch. Most of the other ghosts were restrained underground by the Ghost King tonight, and I don’t know why this one was left out here.

What it didn't know was that someone had just snuck past silently among the branches not far away.

The dense branches and leaves did not hinder Liu Qinghuan at all, but instead allowed him to better perform the art of transplanting flowers and trees, which was easier than walking on flat ground.

He decided to explore tonight after he was sure that the mysterious and weird Zhang Xianmiao had returned to the main trunk of the ghost peach tree. He shouldn't have taken such a risk at the critical moment before opening the ghost gate, but there was sudden movement in Sansangmu during the day, and its growth was closely connected to his own, so he had to take this risk.

While sensing the faint meaning coming from the three mulberry trees, he swam through the branches quickly with a clear purpose. As he slowly approached a secret place, the smell of blood around him became stronger and stronger, almost to the point of nauseating.

Liu Qinghuan also gradually felt strenuous, as if the branches of the Innate Ghost Peach Tree were no longer fine wood, but turned into hard stones, making it difficult for him to move forward every step he took.

Liu Qinghuan became energetic instead, which meant that he was looking in the right direction!

After a difficult trek, passing through layers of wooden walls that were as tangled and twisted as iron plates, the front suddenly became empty!

The sight was red, and the blood was so rich that it gathered into a mist, filling the small, closed circular space.

And in the mist, there is something hidden in the center, bang bang, bang bang, bang bang...

Listening carefully, it seemed like the sound of a heartbeat kept ringing regularly, and it unknowingly caused the beating of the heart in his chest to synchronize with it!

Liu Qinghuan's complexion changed slightly, and he quickly closed his five senses and suppressed his slightly impetuous blood. I couldn't help but marvel, I didn't expect that there was such a place hidden in the canopy.

With a sweep of his consciousness, he found a fist-sized... peach hanging in the center of the thick blood mist?

He was a little surprised. He had never heard that a ghost peach tree could bear peaches, but the other party was still a peach tree, so it seemed reasonable to bear a peach.

I saw that the peach was small and exquisite, in the shape of a perfect peach heart. The color was bright red, like a crystal and luxurious ruby, and it beat slightly like a heart.

Liu Qinghuan felt happy from the sky, he actually found the fruit of the innate ghost peach tree! It looks extraordinary, but I don't know what miraculous effect this thing has.

past! Come quickly!

In his consciousness, Sansangmu suddenly became excited, and clear thoughts were conveyed directly to him.

Liu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the Nascent Soul in her dantian with her little hand, and found a root that curled up like a cramp in front of it, and asked, "What's in front of it?"

Roots anxiously patted Nascent Soul, but kept conveying the idea that it was about to pass.

Nascent Soul was photographed and fell into the elixir from the round Dinghai Pearl. He couldn't help waving his little hands in anger, flew up to the Dinghai Pearl again and transformed into two, tearing the roots together.

"It's not that I don't agree, but the things inside are extraordinary at first glance. If you eat them, it causes fluctuations, and then alerts the ghosts outside, it may affect our plan to open the ghost gate!"

The root stopped moving, and a roar suddenly sounded in Liu Qinghuan's mind: "Liu, hurry up and get over to me! This place is completely closed by the old peach tree. If I hadn't guided you, you think you could enter just by yourself?" Got it?”

Liu Qinghuan was yelled at by this deafening voice and almost fell out, and said in shock: "You... you are Sansangmu? Can you speak?"

The other party's voice was very childish and crisp, but his tone was extremely old-fashioned, like a child trying desperately to pretend to be an adult.

"Stop talking so much nonsense, hurry up, hurry up!"

Liu Qinghuan hesitated and said, "Tell me first, picking that peach won't cause any changes, right? The opening of the ghost gate tomorrow is very important to me!"

"Ahhhhh!" Sansangmu went crazy, and while yanking his roots towards Yuanying, he screamed in his ear: "Liu, I will sever all ties with you!"

Nascent Soul couldn't just stand there and let it be whipped. Sayazi flew across the sea of ​​spirits. Every time he was about to be hit, he would use the magical teleportation ability that Nascent Soul was born with. Moreover, Liu Mingming also has two Nascent Souls. Not only can their positions be interchanged, but they can also instantly escape to each other and merge into one.

He felt a little strange and said, "If you just extend your roots out of your Dantian, I won't be able to stop you. Why do you have to let me go?"

"Are you stupid? Although the old peach tree turns a blind eye and doesn't care much about the knot, if I dare to put my body into it, it will beat me to death."

"Ah, why doesn't it care?"

"Nonsense, have you ever heard of a peach tree bearing peaches and refusing to allow anyone to eat them?"

"..."

Before Liu Qinghuan could ask again, Sansangmu had already given in: "Okay, okay, I promise I will do it without anyone noticing, okay!"

In fact, Liu Qinghuan just wanted this guarantee. Seeing that he was extremely anxious, he decided to put aside his numerous questions for the time being and ask again later. Taking a step forward, he escaped from the branches of the innate ghost peach tree.

There was a burst of cheers in his mind, and he saw several roots rushing out from his dantian, wrapping around the blood peach, and burrowing in.

But the blood peach was as hard as a real ruby. After twisting its roots for a while, it finally got one in. It sucked on it while letting out an extremely obscene sigh.

Liu Qinghuan did not expect that the Sanmulberry tree that had stayed in his Dantian for so long would be of such a virtuous nature, and couldn't help but touch his forehead.

Before he could finish his annoyance, the Sanmulberry tree had dried up the blood peach, leaving only a piece of skin. It suddenly "coughed", its roots trembled, and it spat out a peach core and threw it towards Liu Qinghuan.

"It's your reward!"

Liu Qinghuan caught it and saw that the oblate peach core was like the finest ruby, with wrinkles all over it, resembling a sitting Buddha.

At this time, a few roots were seen swaying like ropes, gathering the surrounding blood mist together, rubbing it again, and stuffing it into the remaining peach skin, and a plump blood peach reappeared !

Liu Qinghuan was dumbfounded. Is this okay?

"Haha, I'm pretty good at my craftsmanship. I'll definitely be able to work for three to five days!"

Sansangmu said proudly, and then all the roots quickly shrank and returned to his Dantian.

Liu Qinghuan was speechless. It was inappropriate to call him again.

This guy! He ran away without saying anything clearly, and he didn't know how long he would sleep this time.

After putting away the peach stone, he didn't stay for long. After making sure that no other traces were left, he returned the same way and found his way back to the cave where he stayed temporarily.

But just as they reached the entrance of the cave, they saw Cuixu and others rushing out with extremely serious expressions.

Liu Qinghuan was stunned, thought for a moment, appeared behind a tree, and walked towards them.

Cuixu looked relieved when he saw him: "You are back, can you see Liu Daoyou?"

Liu Qinghuan frowned. As expected, Liu Zhenwu was not seen among the people. He shook his head and said, "I walked around and didn't meet fellow Daoist Liu. What's wrong? Something happened?"

Cuixu didn't stop and said as he walked: "I just received news from another group of fellow Taoists who had not arrived yet. They were attacked by monks from the Yin Yue Blood Realm and suffered heavy casualties! In case things change, So I can’t wait until tomorrow night and open the ghost gate immediately!”

Liu Qinghuan's heart trembled, and she quickly followed up: "Have you notified the Ghost King?"

"Well, let's meet at the Ghost Gate."

He thought for a moment and then asked: "Where are the Golden Elixir monks outside the island?"

"I asked them all to break into pieces, hide their whereabouts and leave the Great Mirage."

Liu Qinghuan was a little anxious and asked Cuixu to borrow a water mirror. When the Jindan monks left, he gave his water mirror to Yunzheng.

After looking at it, I saw that the green spot outside the island was moving away from Dushuo Mountain, and I couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Yun Zheng would be cruel again and sneak back with Mu Yinyin.

A few people walked in a hurry and met Liu Zhenwu with a gloomy expression on the road.

Liu Qinghuan sneered secretly. This person probably came out after him, but the situation was urgent and there was no time to worry about it.

When they arrived near the Ghost Gate, the Ghost King, the Corpse Demon, and Zhang Xianmiao had also arrived. After hearing what Cuixu said about the situation, they immediately decided to take action.

Zhang Xianmiao, still dressed in white, stood facing the ghost gate: "Everyone, wait a moment. After you listen to me and take action, everyone can use your strongest attack."

Others were a little puzzled, but he said no more and stood still for a moment with his eyes lowered, while a low chanting sound came from his mouth.

I saw him raising his arms slightly, and with the gentle shaking of his palms, a ray of white light suddenly appeared. It was as thin as a gossamer, but it carried a bright light that could not be seen directly.

The light filament became thicker and thicker, and suddenly it moved quickly, like a pen walking like a dragon in the air, and quickly drew a ghost head with a very fierce face. Its proud eyes were wide and round, looking down at all living beings. It not only looked evil and vicious, but also revealed its majesty and power. The awe-inspiring and upright spirit.

Zhang Xianmiao kept moving his hands, and countless mysterious lines and words appeared around the ghost head, slowly forming an extremely complex pattern.

Everyone else held their breath and concentrated. Yun Mengze's six Nascent Soul monks were separated from the ghost gates, waiting for his actions.

Zhang Xianmiao was sweating profusely, and his face gradually turned red, and soon turned pale again. It was obvious that what he was doing was not that easy.

The pattern painted by the light silk gradually became complete, and it could be vaguely seen that it was actually a rather strange-shaped token. The tyrannical aura continued to spread outwards, and the white ripples forced the Ghost King and the Corpse Demon to retreat step by step, completely Don't get close.

The atmosphere near the ghost gate became extremely tense, as if there was a fierce weapon slowly opening the seal, and it would kill people if you weren't careful!

Fortunately, the people present were all Nascent Soul monks and above. They had gone through the experience of inner demons and had extremely tough minds, so they did not lose their minds under such coercion.

Suddenly, Zhang Xianmiao's pale face turned as red as blood, the veins on his face arched high, and he spurted out a mouthful of green blood!

The long order pattern in the air suddenly condensed, blooming with dazzling golden light like a substance, and rushed to the middle of the arch formed by the branches of the Innate Ghost Peach in the blink of an eye.

Just listen to a loud bang, and then the light shines!

Liu Qinghuan squinted his eyes and saw two magnificent doors appearing in the originally empty arch!

"Do it!"

Zhang Xianmiao shouted loudly, and his breath weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Liu Qinghuan looked solemn, raised his finger, and a beam of light shot out, hitting the ghost gate first and making a loud bang faster than other people's spells. Immediately afterwards, three more finger lights were pointed at the same place, and the ghost gate shook violently a few times, and ripples spread out in circles that became larger and larger.

He did not take out the Jiuqu Hongchen Pu, so it was a Taoist technique with a very large range, which was not suitable at this time. On the contrary, the extremely fast and equally powerful Qiankun Finger was more suitable.

At this time, other people's spells also arrived, and all kinds of spiritual lights poured out like a sudden storm, and earth-shattering vibrations spread throughout the countryside!

At this time, everyone had used the sharpest means. The terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations gradually formed a powerful hurricane. The nearby vegetation, earth and rocks exploded and cracked, sending up debris all over the sky.

The ghost door shook more and more violently, and a crack appeared between the two closed doors, and the gap became wider and wider!

The Ghost King shouted excitedly in the distance: "Okay, try harder! It's almost broken, hahaha... who!"

Liu Qinghuan was startled when he heard an extremely angry dragon roar in mid-air. A black dragon with a length of more than ten feet had fought with the ghost king, and the corpse demon also waved its claws to stop another man in black clothes. Approach the gate of hell.

Everyone's expressions changed. Liu Zhenwu slapped his hands and shouted: "People from the Yin Yue Blood Realm are here!"

Liu Qinghuan shouted sharply: "Don't stop!"

Liu Zhenwu looked over sinisterly: "Liu Qinghuan, who are you ordering!"

Liu Qinghuan sneered at him, and fired out the Qiankun fingers in his hand one after another quickly. A gray light flashed between his brows, and the Sword Intent of Life and Death turned into a big sword, slamming down with the momentum to cut through the void!

Cuixu said coldly: "Hold still! No matter who it is, if trouble occurs at this time, don't blame me for being ruthless! Attack the ghost gate with all your strength. The ghost king and the others can withstand it. Our most important task is to open it Don’t let all your efforts go to waste!”

As he spoke, he waved his hands, and the Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram appeared in the air, and the Yin and Yang fish spun quickly and flew out with a bang!

This sharp shout stabilized the situation near the Ghost Gate. The others glanced at the Ghost King worriedly, then stopped their attention and concentrated on attacking the Ghost Gate.

As the offensive intensified, the Ghost Gate erupted into dazzling brilliance, teetering on the verge of collapse!

At this time, an exclamation came from not far away: "Friend Daoist Zhang! Zhang Qingfeng, is it you!"

Liu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw the man who was fighting with the corpse demon, using a turtle shield to block the poisonous claws while looking this way.

"Bu...溭!"

"Zhang..." Bu Xi was astonished in disbelief, and soon turned into anger and hurt after being deceived. After all, the fellow Taoist could no longer scream. In this situation, needless to say, the two people's positions are extremely clear.

"It is indeed you, you are from Yun Mengze!"

Liu Qinghuan remembered that they had been friends with each other and that the other party had helped him several times. He couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, but his face was extremely calm: "I am naturally from Yun Mengze."

Bu Xi's face suddenly turned as pale as paper: "Is your real surname Liu?"
