Chapter 432 Jungle Test
The forest was full of green. Jiang Wen took a breath and felt a sweet fragrance. This is the natural breath of the forest and a symbol of the vitality of this sacred forest.
"It's so comfortable." Ginseng Essence sat on his shoulders, feeling comfortable all over. This place is more suitable for mountain spirits like it to survive than outside. If it survives here for thousands of years, maybe the ginseng essence can also have a chance of becoming a great immortal.
"Changyin said you are not allowed to kill here, and she called it an illusion. So where is the illusion?" Jiang Wen was a little confused. After all, he had experienced many illusions. For example, if he were not alert to the phantom formation in the Yuyun Clan's temple, it would be difficult for him to wake up.
But such plain illusions as now are rare, they are all endless jungles.
"Don't be malicious. How do you explain this?" Jiang Wen was puzzled and could only continue walking forward with the ginseng essence.
Walking around the bushes, you can see an endless stream of rare treasures in front of you. Because it is more suitable for the growth of spiritual things than outside the cave, there are more natural and earthly treasures here.
Jiang Wen was dazzled by what he saw, and he didn't know whether he should have a good harvest. If all the natural and earthly treasures here were taken away, Jingxuguan's Herbal Garden would not be instantly wealthy. When the time comes, we will recruit more disciples, and we won’t be afraid of running out of resources.
"Don't be malicious. Is it possible that this malice is related to greed? If picking up heavenly materials and earthly treasures counts as taking the lives of such spiritual creatures, does this count as murderous intentions?" Jiang Wen was trying to figure out the meaning behind Chang Yin's words. Although she did not explain the specific direction of this malice, compared with the Eight Dragons and Heavenly Fire Formation of the Heavenly Fire Palace, this sacred wood forest must not be simple.
"Don't be greedy. Let's take another look." Jiang Wen put away his thoughts and continued walking deeper into the forest. Changyin had told him on the way here that the Shenmu Palace was more mysterious than the Heavenly Fire Palace, and its formation was so mysterious and ethereal that it only took chance to break through it. On how to break the formation, she only said that everyone has their own opportunity.
"What kind of Riddler can you get rid of your idealism this time?" Jiang Wen was confused and crossed the stream in the forest.
There is actually a hut in the forest, which is really surprising.
Her long silver hair is like mercury, and her eyes are like the bright moon. A pair of pointed ears, obviously not an ordinary person.
Pushing aside the dense jungle in front of him, he saw a hut in the forest.
"She lives alone? No one has ever come here?" Jiang Wen asked.
"Don't be malicious...greed can be considered malicious." Jiang Wen thought to himself and bowed respectfully to the woman.
"You are a guest, please come in." The girl opened the courtyard door and let Jiang Wen in. Leaving her slim back to him, she walked into the house and talked about her own affairs.
The graceful body is wrapped with a gauze scarf, adding a bit of temptation. This scene was so touching that Jiang Wen almost laughed.
"Ah, an outsider?" The girl blinked her pure eyes and looked at Jiang Wen, with a novel smile on her lips.
"Jiang Wen, the master of Jingxu Temple, a poor Taoist, has met a female lay practitioner."
But the next moment his mind cleared up and he recalled Chang Yin's words. The desires in the heart are restrained and the true nature of a man is calmed down.
"Never." The girl shook her head and led Jiang Wen into the house.
When he walked to the small courtyard and knocked on the door, Jiang Wen also held a wooden whip in his hand. No matter how quiet the forest is, you can never let down your guard.
"I accidentally wandered into the forest and came to the female lay practitioner." Jiang Wen said.
"Is there a big guy? Yin Yin wants to ask." Ginseng Jing called.
"I live here alone and I haven't seen anyone in a long time."
"Ah?" As a disembodied voice came, the door of the bamboo house was pushed open. A young girl walked out, wearing only a transparent gauze scarf, walking out with light steps.
This cabin in the forest is exquisitely built, with a courtyard covered with bamboo. Wind chimes hang on the bamboo tower, tinkling in the wind.
The decoration inside the bamboo house is simple, with only a bed and a few chairs and tables.
There are fruits on the table, and the bed is also made of bamboo. It seems to be quite diaphragmatic, and it must be uncomfortable to sleep on.
The girl asked Jiang Wen to sit down and turned around to get the fruit for him. Such an unsuspecting look would be unbearable for any man to see. After all, a man and a woman alone live alone in this mountain forest. The girl looks like a fairy, like an elf in the forest. How many people can stand in such a situation?
But Jiang Wen kept Chang Yin's words in mind and treated the girl politely. He also gave her clothes and jewelry as a way of thanking her for taking care of her.
Looking at the fruits brought by the girl, they are brightly colored and crystal clear. Even the ginseng essence couldn't hold back and jumped off Jiang Wen's shoulder, holding a fruit and sucking it into his mouth.
Although this little guy looks like he has no mouth, he eats without hesitation. With just a swish, all that was left of the crystal clear fruit was a thin skin.
Jiang Wen also picked up a fruit, rubbed it, and swallowed it. I felt like the world was spinning, and all the bamboo buildings in front of me were gone.
He looked towards the woman again and saw a four-legged auspicious beast covered in silver scales standing in the forest and watching him.
The auspicious beast looks like a lion with antlers. It has wings on its back and hooves like a horse. The whole body is shimmering with silver light, gathering the aura of heaven and earth into one body. It opened its mouth to speak to Jiang Wen, and its voice sounded like Taoist sounds.
"I am the ancient auspicious beast Qilin. It is fate that you can see me now. I have just tested you and know that you are a gentleman and a sage, so I will grant you a word and I can make it come true." The auspicious beast spoke. , its sound is loud.
Jiang Wen stared at Qilin without moving his eyes away.
What is Qilin? Of course he knows it. I never thought that there would be such an auspicious beast as Qilin in this world.
It also said that it could fulfill one of its wishes because I had just passed its trial.
Jiang was naturally happy to hear such good things, as he had heard rumors about Qilin since he was a child. He is well aware of Qilin's magical powers. Maybe the other party can really realize his wish? After all, I did pass the test just now.
Just as he was about to speak out his wish, Jiang Wen's wooden whip shook.
He suddenly woke up and looked at Qilin with a wary expression.
"I don't have any wishes." Jiang Wen shook his head and said.
"Seriously?" Qilin asked again.
"Of course." Jiang Wen nodded, and the Qilin stared at him. Then the brilliance burst behind him, and the surrounding environment changed again in the next moment.
In just the blink of an eye, Jiang Wen saw that he was inside a tree. Countless vines tied him tightly and were pulling him into the tree bit by bit.
There is no fairy-like and pleasant scene around, and there is no such thing as a cabin in the forest. There are thorns and trees everywhere, and the sharp wooden thorns are enough to penetrate anyone.
"Humph." Jiang Wen hummed softly, his body trembling.
Breaking the thorns binding him, he looked into the terrifying and twisted jungle.
Not far away, Changyin and Tiger were tied up in the air by thorns. When the two saw Jiang Wen coming, their faces suddenly showed joy.
"Brother Jiang!"
"Fellow."
"Come and save us!" Changyin and Tiger shouted loudly.
Jiang Wen frowned and looked at the two of them, then asked, "Why are you tied up here?"
"It's all that demon tree that tied us up. As long as you kill it, we can escape smoothly." Changyin explained quickly, struggling and pointing to the old tree with a huge human face on the side.
After Jiang Wen heard this, he stared at the giant tree. He held out the wooden whip in his hand and jumped towards the old tree.
