Chapter 440: Tianluo Cave

The port is not a place for talking. Mu Chunfeng took Gu Zheng back to the sect first, and then introduced the upper management of the sect and Gu Zheng.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while and became familiar with each other. Mu Chunfeng asked Elder Gao to take Gu Zheng back to his residence to rest.

According to Gu Zheng's request, Mu Chunfeng will not tell the second person about the 'Situ Ya incident'. Gu Zheng wanted to give the people of the Black Sky Snail Sect an illusion, an illusion of 'the enemy is in darkness and we are in the light'.

The residence that Mu Chunfeng arranged for Gu Zheng was in a separate small courtyard in the Tianluo Sect. There were several important buildings of the Tianluo Sect around the small courtyard, so it was considered very safe in terms of security.

After arranging Gu Zheng properly, Elder Gao asked: "Master Gu, do you want to rest now, or should I take you to enjoy the scenery of the island?"

"If you're not tired, then there's Elder Laogao." Gu Zheng said with a smile.

"Master Gu, you're welcome. It's a matter of course."

Elder Gao also smiled. Mu Chunfeng arranged for him to be the tour guide for Gu Zheng.

Green mountains, blue sea, slightly salty wind, subtropical climate.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Elder Gao very diligently told Gu Zheng about the local customs, stories about places of interest and historical sites.

Generally speaking, Bloodtide Island and Wufeng Island look similar. They have the same simple dwellings, the same exotic costumes, and the same hospitable islanders.

"The ancient leader may think that there is not much difference between Blood Tide Island and Wufeng Island. From the perspective of environment alone, there is no obvious difference. However, the resources of Blood Tide Island are not comparable to Wufeng Island! Let's take the island's specialties. Speaking of which, in the vast forest below the back mountain, the two specialties of fruits and medicinal materials will really surprise people! ”

The Tianluo Sect already knew that Gu Zheng had been to Wufeng Island, but what they didn't know was that the entire Wufeng Island now belonged to Gu Zheng.

"Surprised? This makes me very curious. I wonder if Elder Gao can take me to see it?" Gu Zheng said with interest.

"Of course, Master Gu, please come here!"

Elder Gao made a gesture of invitation, and the two abandoned the main road in the village and walked on a mountain road to the back mountain.

The vegetation along the way gradually becomes denser, and from time to time you can see wild fruits hidden among the trees.

"The islanders are very qualified and obedient. They will not come to the back mountain without permission. They will not pick wild fruits and other specialties at will, so they are better preserved. Ancient The leader can try it, it tastes much better than the fruits outside." Elder Gao stopped and pointed to a bright red patch in the forest.

"Then I won't be polite."

Gu Zheng smiled and followed Elder Gao into the forest.

In fact, there are also various fruit trees in the village. During the more than two hours of traveling with Elder Gao, Gu Zheng has tasted at least five kinds of specialty fruits on Blood Tide Island, each with its own sweet and sour taste.

The bright red seen in the distance is actually a fruit tree over four meters high, with red fruits hanging on it so densely that the branches are bent.

"This is 'Peach Heart Plum', which is sweet in taste and cold in nature. Most people can only eat two per day, otherwise the body will not be able to bear it. It is also one of the famous specialties on Blood Tide Island. Of course, for us cultivators, There is no problem if you eat more in a day. We can also make the Yiguo Dan that you refined in Shushan with the 'Peach Heart Plum'," Elder Gao said with a smile.

Each peach heart plum is as big as a fist, and the red color looks like an extremely plump peach kernel. It exudes a sweet fragrance similar to plums. Although the grade of the ingredients is ordinary, it can be used to refine the Yiguo Dan, which is already a fruit of the Yiguo level, and its value is therefore naturally greater.

Although it was okay for Gu Zheng to eat more as a guest, Gu Zheng still only picked one as usual. Anyway, anything that could be used as a specialty would appear in Gu Zheng's ancient space as a reward after completing the agreement.

"The peach plums have reached the picking period, and the pulp in them is already very full. Master Gu can use a sip when tasting to avoid the pulp from exploding."

Elder Gao is really a dedicated tour guide, explaining everything in detail.

Gu Zheng had already rinsed the plums with water, smelled the unique sweet fragrance of the plums, and took a bite.

The sweet pulp suddenly exploded in Gu Zheng's mouth. With a strong sip, the peach-heart plum that was originally the size of a fist immediately shrunk by one-third.

After swallowing a mouthful of sweet and smooth fruit pulp, Gu Zheng shouted "Hello".

"The taste is great, I like the soft and juicy texture after complete ripeness! Unfortunately, in the outside world, due to various reasons, the fruits we usually eat are not completely ripe, such as peaches and plums. Common fruits can really taste like this. I can’t remember the last time I tasted them.”

Gu Zheng sighed with emotion as he finished the last mouthful of peach heart plum pulp.

Elder Gao nodded, and then said: "Master Gu, don't throw away the core of this peach heart plum. The kernels inside are also delicious. Although the fried version will taste better, it is also good to eat fresh. The taste!”

You can also eat nuts after eating the fruit, which is rare among the exotic fruits that Gu Zheng has eaten. Gu Zheng, who was very interested, pinched the almond-sized core with his hands, and a crisp cracking sound suddenly came out.

The kernels of the peach heart plum are also in the shape of a peach heart, with a bit of milky aroma that the pulp does not have. Gu Zheng threw it in his mouth and chewed it. He immediately experienced the crisp, fragrant and slightly sweet taste, and then his mouth was filled with saliva. There was a different kind of coolness in it.

"Elder Gao, nuts have this special cooling feeling. I think it would be better to eat them raw!"

"It is true that roasted seeds and nuts do not have this special cooling feeling, but fresh fruit cores cannot be stored well, so there is no way to make them into roasted seeds and nuts."

While talking, the two of them left the dense forest and continued walking towards the mountain.

"Actually, if we just go to the dense forest in the back mountain, we can take another shortcut from here and there is no need to climb the mountain. However, there are advantages to mountain climbing. You can see a landscape on the Blood Tide Island and taste a taste of the Blood Tide Island. It’s a delicacy used to entertain guests, so our route is a bit far away.” Elder Gao said.

"With delicious food and beautiful scenery, it's worth it to look far away." Gu Zheng smiled, pointed to the woods on the mountain and said, "Elder Gao, what kind of fruit tree is that? It's so tall!"

The fruit tree Gu Zheng refers to grows in the woods far away like a flock of chickens, with brown-red fruits hanging on it. There are also similar fruit trees around, but they are not as tall as it grows.

Gu Zheng's visual inspection revealed that this unknown fruit tree was at least fifty meters tall, while the same fruit trees nearby were only about thirty-five meters tall at most.

"Ha ha!"

Elder Gao smiled at first, and then said: "This kind of fruit tree is called 'Wuluozi', and the tree that the ancient leader pointed to is the king of the one hundred 'Wuluozi' trees on Wufeng Island. ! 'Wuluzi' is a treasure on Wufeng Island. It is not sold to the outside world. In addition to the exquisite taste, it is said that the reason why our Tianluo Patriarch has a hundred wives and concubines is because of this island. It’s related to one hundred ‘no leaks’ trees!”

"A hundred wives and concubines?"

Gu Zheng's eyes widened instantly. Although some immortal cultivators may have groups of wives and concubines, a hundred wives and concubines is still a scary number. At least this is the first time Gu Zheng has heard of cultivators having such groups of wives and concubines. who.

"Yes, a hundred wives and concubines!"

Elder Gao paused for a moment, and then continued: "The Wuluzi produced by the King of Wuluzi Tree has always been the exclusive tonic for the head of the sect. As for the fruits produced by the other ninety-nine Wuluzi trees, among us sects, Everyone at the top and even elite level disciples can get some," Elder Gao said proudly.

"With a hundred wives and concubines, the fruit is called 'Wu Lezi', and you can all get some to take. It stands to reason that the population on Blood Tide Island should be more prosperous!" Gu Zheng said curiously.

"Ha ha!"

Elder Gao smiled again: "As the ancient leader thought, Wuluzi does have a significant effect in improving abilities in that area, but when it comes to fertility, everyone knows about moderation. After all, one more heir means more responsibilities and obligations. , no better than raising a kitten or puppy Ah! As for the Patriarch back then, even though he had a hundred wives and concubines, the focus in his heart may not be on private life and reproduction, so he was able to make a stunning appearance like a shooting star, and soar into the world at a speed that ordinary people would not believe. "

After listening to Elder Gao's explanation, Gu Zheng nodded, which relieved some of his curiosity.

"The effect of ordinary Wuluzi cannot be compared with the effect of King Wuluzi. The special product reward of Gu Zhang this time includes ordinary Wuluzi. Master Gu, please don't think that this is because our master is reluctant to give up Wuluzi. King Luozi, but there are ancestral teachings in this regard. Only very distinguished guests can taste three of the fruits of King Wuluzi, and they cannot be given as gifts!"

Elder Gao paused, then smiled at Gu Zheng: "Master Gu is a distinguished guest of the Tianluo Sect. Our master has an explanation. No matter whether the things agreed before can be done, Master Gu will have a taste of it." The qualifications of the three-star king!”

"I can taste three of these exclusive fruits. Gu would like to thank Master Mu for his kindness. Elder Gao, I wonder when I can taste the fruit of King Wuluo?" Gu Zheng asked. .

"Ha ha!"

Elder Gao laughed heartily, and perhaps only men could understand the meaning of this laughter.

"I suggest Master Gu taste it after seven days. At that time, King Wuluozi will be considered completely mature."

In fact, Elder Gao misunderstood Gu Zheng's eagerness. Gu Zheng just wanted to try something new, and wanted to taste what Elder Gao called the ultimate taste.

"Is there any obvious difference between the fully mature ones and the incomplete ones now? I think it's better to choose a better day. Since we met it today, let's taste its taste today."

"The difference is not too obvious! The difference is not in the taste, but in its efficacy. A fully mature Wu Leo Zi Wang can make people not tired for three days. The efficacy of today's Wu Leo Zi Wang is probably reduced. Half."

"Ah? There will be one and a half days before the effect is halved? And are you in a state of excitement all the time?"

Gu Zheng originally thought that the taste of the immature Wu Liu Zi Wang would be reduced, and the efficacy would naturally be reduced, so it was just right to try it. But who would have thought that the immature Wu Liu Zi Wang would actually have poor taste, and it would still be a day and a half after the efficacy dropped to half.

"Yes, you will be very excited all the time. But don't worry, Master Gu, you are a distinguished guest of Blood Tide Island. The master has already considered this aspect. You are fat, thin, mature and young. Let Master Gu choose. You will not It makes you so uncomfortable.”

"hateful!"

Miaomiao, who had been following Gu Zheng all the time and was so well-behaved that he was about to be ignored, finally couldn't help but make a sound.

"You are so old and don't cultivate, are you going to finish it? What do you want to be fat and thin? What do you want to be mature and green?"

Meow Meow clenched her silver teeth tightly, with an expression of explosive fur.

"Hey, hey hey hey..."

Elder Gao laughed awkwardly. Miaomiao had always been well-behaved, so he thought that Miaomiao didn't care about this. What's more, as a maid of a cultivator, she shouldn't care about these issues. However, in the face of Miaomiao's explosive hair, Gu Zheng just looked at him with gloating, which made him not only dare not offend Miaomiao, but also misunderstood again: "Miaomiao Gu Zheng said, what kind of ring fertilizer do you want?" Yan Shou, what do you need to be mature and youthful! How can the beauty of the island girls be compared to Miss Miao Miao? With Miss Miao Miao..."

"Shut up, auntie!"

Miaomiao was completely angry. At some point, a ball of mud in his hand hit Elder Gao directly in his mouth.

"Meow meow, don't be rude!"

Gu Zheng is quite helpless. As the saying goes, a country is easy to change but a nature is hard to change. Miao Miao's inner characteristics cannot be changed so easily! In a moment of indulgence, she let Elder Gao eat mud. She really didn't know what she would let Elder Gao eat if he wasn't by her side.

Elder Gao was also frightened. He thought that even if Miao Miao had some cultivation, he wouldn't be very advanced. However, just now he clearly saw Meow Meow taking action, but he felt that no matter how he hid, it would be wrong. He couldn't even close his mouth. The fear in his heart at that moment was really like a nightmare coming!

Elder Gao didn't understand what was going on. He was a cultivator at the late fifth level. Under normal circumstances, a person like him could feel that way, unless he was at the level of an immortal cultivator! However, when I ate mud just now, there was no fluctuation in the energy of heaven and earth around me!

"There is only one possibility. The way she threw the mud just now should be improved from some magical skill. It has a strong 'potential' in itself. Under the influence of 'potential', I felt that no matter how hard I hid, it would be wrong. , It must be like this! However, it is really not easy for a young maid to have the cultivation level of the fifth level!" Elder Gao thought to himself.

"Elder Gao, I'm really sorry about what happened just now, but there's something you may not know. Although Miaomiao is a maid, she is also my family," Gu Zheng said.

"It's Gao who speaks without hesitation. Don't blame me, Master Gu, and don't blame Miss Miao Miao!" Elder Gao bowed.

Gu Zheng nodded, then touched Miaomiao's hair: "Are you still angry?"

"snort!"

Miao Miao glared at Elder Gao, let out a cold snort of grievance, turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain alone.

Gu Zheng frowned, thoughtfully, but did not shout to stop, nor did he chase after him.

"Master Gu, I'm so sorry!" Elder Gao apologized again.

"It's nothing, just a little temper."

Gu Zheng shrugged and continued on his way.

"Then, does the ancient master still want to taste Wuluzi King?" Elder Gao hesitated.

"Forget it, I'd better bring a few fully mature Wu Leo Zi Wang! By the way, this Wu Leo Zi Wang is only effective for men, right?" Gu Zheng asked.

"Effective for both men and women." Elder Gao said.

"Okay, let's continue climbing."

Gu Zheng was speechless. The characteristics of this extremely delicious fruit were not simple at all. It was simply a strong drug!

By the time Gu Zheng and Elder Gao arrived at the top of the mountain, Miaomiao, who was sitting on the roadside, had returned to normal. She stuck out her tongue at Gu Zheng and came to Gu Zheng's side again.

Gu Zheng flicked Miaomiao's forehead, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled without saying anything else.

Seeing the smile on Miaomiao's face, Elder Gao also breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Gu, please come here. It will take another hour for the scenery to appear. Let's take a look at the specialties of Blood Tide Island first, and then taste the delicious food."

"good."

Gu Zheng followed Elder Gao to the edge of the top of the mountain. This was not the cliff as he imagined, but a large slope leading into the forest. There were only sparse trees on this slope, and even the long stretch of land where the slope connected to the woods was also sparsely populated, so Gu Zheng's line of sight was largely unobstructed.

"This is really surprising!"

Gu Zheng sighed with emotion. He saw dense green plants on both sides of the slope, and even on the section of land where the slope connected with the woods. It felt like seeing a vegetable garden.

"What does Master Gu think of these medicinal materials?" Elder Gao said proudly.

"It's very good. The worst ones are also third-grade resources, and there are also a lot of fifth-grade resources. It's really enviable!"

Gu Zheng sincerely admires that such a landscape can exist in the Age of Dharma. Except for the top sects like Kunlun and Shushan, there is really no other sect that can have it. At least they in Emei do not have the conditions to cultivate medicinal materials.

"It is thanks to the immortal formation left by our ancestors that we can still have such a spectacular medicinal field in this age of Dharma End!"

Elder Gao paused and pointed to the forest: "Master Gu, please look at the colorful flowers in the forest, which are either fruits or medicinal materials. In fact, this entire forest is just a huge medicinal field!"

"All right!"

Gu Zheng was really shocked. A forest is a medicinal field. Even Kunlun and Shushan do not have it. Its area is too large and its output is terrifying.

"Actually, it's not as scary as the ancient leader thought! It takes a certain number of years for medicinal materials to mature, and they are all common resources belonging to the eleven branches of Tianluo Sect, so when they are divided into one sect, it is not as expected So many.”

After listening to Elder Gao's explanation, Gu Zheng nodded, then pointed to the distance, where there was a gap between the lush treetops, and it was obvious that there was a large clearing in the forest.

"Elder Gao, what is that place?"

Looking in the direction of Gu Zheng's finger, Elder Gao sighed: "It's almost dusk now, and the sea fog has made the vision a little blurry. Master Gu can see a different place here, and his eyesight is really enviable! That's not a clearing in the forest, but the 'Tianluo Cave'!"

"So the 'Tianluo Cave' is there, it's much bigger than I thought!" Gu Zheng said.

"The 'Tianluo Cave' is indeed very large, with caves intertwined inside, like a maze. Master Gu, please come this way, let's taste the delicious food now and wait for the arrival of the scenery!"

The direction pointed by Elder Gao is in the center of the top of the mountain, where there are several tall coconut trees, a pergola under the trees, and several tables and benches at the door, where more than a dozen people are sitting and talking in a low voice.
