Chapter 723: Generous Giant Tree
Ye Zan led Shi Lin and Little Lolita into the passage that was opened out of thin air. After the figures of the three disappeared from it, the passage also shrank and then disappeared in an instant. Only the monsters of the monster clan were left, looking at the place where the passage disappeared in shock and anger, but didn't know what to do for a while.
His grandma, this person surnamed Ye is too capable of making troubles, it is not enough to receive the young master into the jade ball, and in the blink of an eye, he abducts the young master to some hell place! Although these big demon kings are quite resentful in their hearts, they really have nothing to do, after all, they can't beat them!
That old turtle came back to his senses first, called back the big demon kings who rushed out before, looked at Zhenjun Qinghong and the others with complicated expressions, and said, "Everyone, fellow human beings, although my young master is Fellow Daoist Ye’s disciple is, after all, the adoptive son of my family’s great sage, so it’s probably a bit inappropriate for Fellow Daoist Ye to do this.”
Qinghong Zhenjun snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "Hmph, the so-called being a teacher for one day is a father for life! How Brother Ye Xian wants to treat his disciples, it doesn't matter if you wait for outsiders to comment. As for what you said I'm afraid you should be very clear about what kind of adoptive father and son you are, and what's going on inside."
It wasn't just Ye Zan who doubted Jiao Sheng's purpose, in fact, anyone with some common sense knew exactly what was going on with adoptive son. Even if they don't know all kinds of hidden dangers in Shi Lin like Ye Zan, they can question the father-son relationship between Jiao Sheng and Shi Lin through Jiao Sheng's ignorance of this.
To put it bluntly, maybe only that idiot Shi Lin, who has not experienced much in the world, would take this father-son relationship as real.
Of course, strictly speaking, this doesn't mean who cheats whom. Even if some people know the mystery, they still wish to worship a few high-ranking godfathers. In the final analysis, this is a kind of mutual use. The adoptive father uses these godsons to work for himself, and these godsons can also rely on this identity to obtain exclusive benefits.
However, this matter now falls on Shi Lin. As Shi Lin's master, Ye Zan naturally thinks that his apprentice has been tricked. And True Monarch Qinghong stood on Ye Zan's side, and the angle of natural thinking and judgment was also based on Ye Zan's position, and he also expressed contempt for this relationship.
This is the so-called ass decides the head.
In short, Yaozu has no choice but to continue waiting here.
Besides, on Ye Zan's side, he brought Shi Lin and Little Lolita, and did not go to the small world of the fairy palace, but directly came to the space where the nameless giant tree was located.
"Wow, so... what a big tree!" Shi Lin suddenly couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the giant tree.
It is impossible for the stone forest not to be amazed, the tree body is like a giant pillar, the crown of the tree is like the dome of the sky, and the people under the tree are like ants, it is indeed so huge that it is unbelievable. Not to mention that it was the first time Shilin came here, even though Ye Zan had been here many times, every time he came to see this giant tree, the shock in his heart never diminished.
It's a pity that Ye Zan has not been able to get a definite answer about the origin of this giant tree. The old guard of the North Pole Fairy Palace, Nata, can be said to be the "person" who knows the Taoist ancestor Xuanqing best, but he also knows nothing about the origin of this giant tree.
After Taoist Xuanyuan reshaped the Dharma Body, Ye Zan also asked Taoist Xuanyuan about this giant tree. However, despite the fact that Daozu Xuanyuan and Daozu Xuanqing are brothers, not everything about Daozu Xuanqing is known, so it is also impossible to tell the origin of this giant tree.
Ye Zan now guesses that this giant tree may be related to the legendary ancient tree from the beginning, based on unreliable legends. But this guess, there are many unreasonable places, not to mention that the legend itself is not very reliable. According to the legend, the ancient tree from the beginning turned into the heaven and the earth, so how could the ancient tree from the beginning that had already turned into the sky come here again.
The reason why Ye Zan was obsessed with the origin of this giant tree was not just out of curiosity.
You must know that the leaves given by this giant tree will be integrated into the sea of consciousness of people. Although they have the benefit of strengthening the soul, they are foreign objects of unknown origin after all.
Like Ye Zan himself, he got thirty-six leaves in one fell swoop, and put together a green lotus platform. This Biye Liantai, now it seems that it is of great benefit to him, but who knows what price he will have to pay for this benefit?
Of course, it is also possible that Ye Zan was thinking too much.
After all, since Xuanqing Daozu put this giant tree here, and let the disciples of Yuqingzong and other sects come to find opportunities, then the safety should be guaranteed to a certain extent.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Zan decided to bring his disciple Shi Lin to try his luck even though he had some concerns in his heart. Shi Lin's current Dragon Clan skills, like other monster races, do not cultivate the primordial spirit, so it is easy to be targeted by the powerful divine sense of the primordial spirit. If Shilin could get a few leaves here to suppress the Sea of Consciousness, it would be an extra layer of protection when encountering threats against the spirit in the future.
"Shi Lin, go, go to that giant tree, just meditate calmly, and see if you can gain something." Ye Zan pointed to a place under the tree, and said to Shi Lin who had just returned to his senses.
"Oh, it's Master!" Shi Lin was very obedient, and immediately ran to Ye Zanzhi's position without asking any more questions. As for meditation, he had also learned the method of refining Qi from Ye Zan, so he sat cross-legged on the spot very familiarly, and assumed a standard posture with five hearts facing the sky.
In fact, Ye Zan was not fully sure of what Shilin could get, this time it was purely for a try. You must know that what Shi Lin practiced was the Dragon Clan's kung fu, which was completely different from that of the human Clan cultivators, and there was no way to comprehend it. And so far, all the people Ye Zan has seen who can successfully obtain the leaves are the best among the ascetics of the human race. Even Little Lolita and Xiao Baxia failed to get even a single leaf.
After meditating in Shilin, Ye Zan stood not far away with little Lolita, while strengthening the concept of not eating indiscriminately to little Lolita, while paying attention to the changes in Shilin.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and the giant tree did not respond at all. There was no sign of leaves about to fall from the huge canopy like a sky dome. On the contrary, Shi Lin sitting under the tree, his originally calm face first slowly frowned, and then the blood veins in his temples also swelled like earthworms, his expression gradually became a little more ferocious.
"Daddy, does little brother have a stomachache?" Seeing Shi Lin's appearance, little Lori asked Ye Zan in fear.
Originally, Ye Zan was just curious and didn't understand what Shi Lin's expression change meant. However, after hearing the little loli's question, he finally came to his senses, this bloody pain is clearly in pain.
It's not to blame Ye Zan for being slow, after all, he never imagined that sitting in samadhi would make people feel so painful. On the contrary, little Lolita, because of her pure mind, doesn't think too much about other things, and thinks that it is what it is.
But why does it hurt? Ye Zan immediately opened his eyes of true knowledge and looked at Shi Lin. In the eyes of true knowledge, "everything" cannot be hidden, and Shi Lin's current situation was clearly seen by the eyes of true knowledge. It turned out that Shi Lin, who was sitting there cross-legged, was constantly suppressing the power of the blood in his body at this time, and thus brought a lot of burden to his body.
"Snapped!"
Ye Zan patted himself on the head suddenly, and then immediately shouted to Shi Lin: "Shi Lin, don't suppress the blood, keep the altar clear, just follow your heart."
How foolish not to have thought of that! Ye Zan, who came to his senses, couldn't help scolding himself here too. Probably because of the reunion of the master and the apprentice, and the fact that little Lolita had been given a sobriety, he actually ignored it for a while. The Dragon Clan Kung Fu practiced by Shi Lin is "moving kung fu".
In fact, the vast majority of Yaozu, no matter what skills they don't have, can be said to be "moving skills". This so-called "moving power" is also easy to understand, it is to move, relying on the movement of the body to drive the blood, and then stimulate the inheritance power in the blood. And meditation, this is considered "quiet work", you need to be calm, so that you can understand the Dao, so as to obtain the blessing of the power of the Dao.
Therefore, the stone forest is under this giant tree, regardless of whether it will be able to gain something in the end, at least the process cannot be mistaken. Obviously it is the "moving skill" of cultivation, but if you want to meditate there, the power of the blood in the body will naturally rebel. Shi Lin is also obedient, plus he has insufficient concept of cultivation, so he wants to strictly follow the master's instructions, but in the end he can only keep suppressing and breaking up the rebellious bloodline.
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Zan's words, although Shi Lin didn't open his eyes, he jumped up from the ground immediately. Immediately afterwards, he moved as if he was practicing some fists and kicks just like he was on the Dragon Clan Stele.
As the movements repeated over and over again, Shi Lin's body also changed again, his black hair was gilded, and golden mist rose from his body. Especially on his back, the tattoo-like dragon totem reappeared clearly again, bursting out streaks of golden light in the golden mist, making the rising golden mist also hide in the shape of a dragon.
After a while, the golden mist rising from Shi Lin's body had condensed into a ferocious dragon shape in the sky above his head. The shape of the dragon looks no different from that of the Eastern Dragon Clan, but upon closer inspection one can find many changes in details. For example, the dragon horns on the heads of the Eastern Dragons were originally shaped like deer horns, or like tree forks. However, in this dragon shape of the stone forest, although the dragon's horns are also like tree forks, the texture is closer to the horns of cows or goats.
In the information collected by Ye Zan in the world of science and technology, the descriptions of western dragons often have horns like ox horns and goat horns, which are also called devil horns. For example, the Balrog that Ye Zan was facing in the fire formation had a huge goat's horn on its head, which is why this kind of horn was called the devil's horn.
In addition, the dragon head of the Oriental dragon is generally said to be shaped like a camel, or even a cow, in short, it is more like a mammal. The dragon head of the Western Dragon is more similar to a snake or a lizard, which is why it is always called a large lizard. As for the dragon shape above Shi Lin's head, the image of the dragon's head is somewhere in between, as if it is changing from one image to another.
There is also the body of the dragon. The vast majority of oriental dragons have no wings, and only a dragon named Yinglong among the legendary dragon ancestors has wings. As for the western giant dragons, it can be said that all of them have wings, and they are basically bat-like membranous wings, or they can also be called fleshy wings. Although the dragon shape above Shi Lin's head doesn't look like it has wings yet, if you look closely, you will find that there are vaguely folded wings on both sides of the body.
All in all, Ye Zan can basically foresee that if Shi Lin continues to practice like this, the dragon shape may one day completely change into the appearance of a western dragon. After all, Shilin itself does not have the blood of a real dragon, and now the dragon shape can show the shape of a real dragon only because of the dragon clan's skills. When the blood of the western giant dragon is pure enough in Shi Lin's body, the dragon's martial arts will no longer be able to affect the appearance of the dragon.
On the other side of the stone forest, the shape of the dragon above the head became more and more clear. In the rising golden mist, flying through the clouds and riding the fog seemed to have a life of its own. Finally, after the dragon shape was condensed to a certain extent, he suddenly turned his body, raised his head and let out a roar towards the giant tree.
Originally, after the stone forest changed from stillness to movement, the endless leaves on the crown of the giant tree had already started to shake with no wind. And at this time, facing the dragon-shaped roaring up to the sky, leaves finally fell from the canopy.
One slice, two slices, three slices... seventeen, eighteen...
Seeing the leaves falling, Ye Zan was quite happy at first, but seeing more and more leaves falling, he couldn't help feeling worried again.
To be honest, Ye Zan got thirty-six leaves, which shocked everyone at that time. But now, the number of leaves falling from the stone forest has surpassed that of Ye Zan, but they still haven't stopped. Every leaf that fell fell on the dragon shape above Shi Lin's head, and turned into a scale on the dragon shape, but how many scales does the dragon shape have?
After Ye Zan counted, he stopped counting at all, and just watched the dragon shape quietly, and as the leaves turned into dragon scales, it became more and more clear and even real. Of course, those green leaves did not turn the dragon into a green dragon, but turned into gold after turning into scales.
"Wow, my little brother is so powerful, so many leaves have fallen!" The little loli was also very surprised, she raised her small face to look at the huge tree crown, but said: "The tree is also so powerful, it hasn't turned bald. !"
Hearing Little Lolita's exclamation, Ye Zan smiled helplessly, his mood was really indescribably complicated. It wasn't that he was jealous that Shi Lin got more than himself, but he felt a little uneasy about it instinctively, and he couldn't decide whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
