I am a fairy

Chapter 169 Mid-Autumn Festival and Black Ape Presents Cakes

In the Muxian Temple.

Jiang Chao looked at the strange vine root that fell from the top of the temple, then moved in a box and placed it on the mud platform that the Five Ghosts had used to control the mandrills.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Sensing that there was something on the mud platform, those strange vine roots immediately spread down and wrapped around the box.

The box also extended metal wires, which connected with the vine roots one by one.

At last.

Then I saw densely packed plants and metal wires entangled and contracted together, forming a pillar-like object about the thickness of a thigh.

Images began to appear on the screen on the box.

Jiang Chao saw a blurry afterimage, with darkness and light flickering continuously.
"Drip drip drip!"

"Trying to connect to an unknown local area network."

"Testing line signal."

"Deciphering the unknown..."

After Wangshu discovered the mutated parasite of the red spider lily, he became very interested in it and wanted to find out how this thing called "Wood Fairy" worked.

Of course, what is more important is whether there is anything on the "Muxian" that can be used to enhance Wangshu's "high technology".

Wangshu: "It's not high technology, it's magic."

Jiang Chao: "Is it connected?"

Wangshu: "It's being decoded. This is a natural artificial intelligence host brain. It's not that fast to crack its LAN."

Jiang Chao: "A natural wild artificial intelligence host brain?"

He felt that this name was full of countless flaws, so many that Jiang Chao had no idea how to complain about it, but he had to say that Wangshu's explanation of this name was quite accurate.

This thing is truly natural and wild, and its structure is indeed somewhat similar to the "artificial intelligence" that Wangshu had previously imagined, but it is indeed not a computer, but a flesh brain.

There are a total of six "wood fairy" trees in the Wugui Dao, and six wood fairy temples have been built in six places.

What Jiang Chao and Wangshu are trying to connect to right now is the willow tree, the parasite of one of the Wood Immortals, which the Five Ghosts call Liu Sou.

It took a long time to decipher the identity of this "Wood Fairy Willow", so Jiang Chao just walked inside the temple and then looked outside.

Jiang Chao: "This thing has surrounded the forest and the hills here, making it like a barrier. The mandrills inside can't get out, and things outside can't get in. Even birds don't approach this area."

When Wangshu heard Jiang Chao's address, he felt very happy and felt it was a ritual.

"Enchantment?"

“That’s a good name.”

"I'm also going to build one in Longgu Port, so that no one can come in and steal my rails."

The narrow-minded cyber god still remembers this incident today.

Waited for a while.

The box finally connected to Liu Sou's signal, and it could even be said that it took over Liu Sou's consciousness authority.

From now on, those man-eating and animal-eating vines outside will no longer be controlled by instinct, but will be controlled by Wangshu's machine.

"Have you obtained the permission?"

"Control authority has been obtained."

Jiang Chao was fiddling with instruments in the temple like a computer assembler.

He stared at the screen, as if trying to read the signals sent by the brains of the people on "Muxian Liusou".

However, in the end, it was discovered that all the signals were the same as at the beginning, with only a series of blurry afterimages passing by, followed by flashes of black and white.

I could vaguely feel some shadows and outlines, but I couldn't see clearly what they were.

Jiang Chao: "What about those who were devoured by the Wood Immortal? Why can't we read their brain signals and memories? Is there any hope for their salvation?"

Of course, many of these people are not good people. Some are punished disciples of the Five Ghosts, but there are also many ordinary believers of the Five Ghosts, and some are people who are against the Five Ghosts.

It is of course impossible to bring them back to life, as these people's bodies have long been unusable.

Only the brain and nervous system were parasitized, relying on the nutrients of the big willow tree to survive.

Jiang Chao originally planned to move these people to the Huangquan Base, and then slowly read their memories to determine their karma and merits.

but.

At present, the situation after obtaining "Wood Immortal Liu Sou" seems to be not quite right.

Wangshu told Jiang Chao that it was exactly what he felt.

Wangshu: "These people have been completely assimilated by the consciousness of plants and other animals."

Jiang Chao: "What's the reason?"

Wangshu: "The nervous system of the red spider lily can take over the nervous system and sensory system of other life forms. It parasitizes on this big tree and then merges with these people and animals."

"The nervous systems of all these people are connected to the nervous systems of various animals. Their consciousness is also integrated through this nervous system. The sensory world of humans is also mixed with the sensory world of other animals and plants."

"You think they are countless separate individuals, but they are actually one."

Jiang Chao looked at this man-eating tree, the so-called wood fairy.

No words were spoken.

After a long while, he stopped looking at the wood fairy and prepared to go into the woods behind to take a look.

"The Wood Immortal Willow Sou" had been completely controlled, so Jiang Chao did not take any secret passages and passed directly under the dense vines. These man-eating vines sensed the movement and remained motionless.

When entering the depths of the forest.

Jiang Chao discovered that the mandrills were chopping down trees and piling up the firewood, seemingly preparing a huge bonfire.

But if you look closely, the firewood has been built into a huge structure of fireworks.

You can imagine it must be very beautiful after it is lit.

Jiang Chao suddenly remembered something and spoke abruptly.

"Today seems to be Mid-Autumn Festival."

Wangshu: “Yes!”

Jiang Chao: "You are still planning to let the mandrills celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Do they know it is the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Wangshu: "Of course I'm not letting them celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I specially arranged for the mandrills to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival for you so that you won't feel lonely."

Jiang Chao: "Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival for me?"

Wangshu: "It must be very lively and warm to have so many mandrills accompany you during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

So that's it.

Mid-Autumn Festival, under the full moon.

In the deep mountains and old forests of Wushan, surrounded by huge man-eating monster trees.

Dozens of black-haired mandrills, each more than two meters tall, gathered together and happily accompanied Jiang Chao to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Hoohoo!"

The huge fire tree was ignited, and the flames surged towards the sky.

Dozens of black-haired mandrills sang and danced, and then one of them, wearing a black helmet and a ghost robe, ran to Yun Zhongjun's seat and held up a box of mooncakes without a production date, packaging, or inspection.

The black ape presented cakes to the Lord of the Clouds.

Jiang Chao opened the box and took a bite.

It didn't feel lively at all.

Instead, I feel even lonelier.

At 9:45 in the evening, the weather forecast came on the radio on time.

Jiang Chao: "I've always wanted to ask, can't we broadcast the weather forecast at a different time? Why do we have to use such a weird time?"

Wangshu: "Because I'm the weather forecast host for the late night show?"

Jiang Chao: "So you haven't been popular for a long time, so you have to drag me in to make up for the audience rating, right?"

Wangshu didn't say anything and seemed angry.

Jiang Chao: "Anyway, there are no schedule requirements here, so we can adjust to the prime time in the future."

Wangshu: "Then I will broadcast at 8:30 in the morning?"

Jiang Chao thought about it and felt that time seemed even more hellish to him.

Thinking about the weather forecast that sounded at 8:30 in the morning, Jiang Chao felt that it was not a good idea to not listen to it or miss it.

Jiang Chao: "What is the prime time? The time just after 7:30 p.m. is called the prime time."

Wangshu: "Didn't the news broadcast just end? Should I host it?"

Jiang Chao: "Wangshu, you are now the weather forecast host for prime time, and also the best and most popular weather forecast host in the world."

Wangshu: "Aren't I the only weather forecast host in this world, and you the only listener?"

Jiang Chao: "Whether you go or not, if you don't go, you can continue to be the unpopular late-night weather forecast host."

In this way, Wangshu remained calm and actually happily adjusted his weather forecast program to 7:30.

Jiang Chao was sitting in front of the campfire, and suddenly remembered that wasn't this base going to be built by the Goddess of Wushan?

How come he is here now, but the Goddess of Wushan has disappeared?

Jiang Chao: "By the way, where did the Wushan Goddess go?"

Wangshu: "It was originally heading this way, but just now I heard about the Five Ghost Dao Master, so I asked it to go down and capture the Five Ghost Dao Master."

Jiang Chao: "I heard that the leader of the Five Ghosts Dao has the Thunder Ghost, one of the Five Ghosts of Heaven, Earth, Man, God and Ghost. Will there be any problems?"

Wangshu: "It doesn't matter, it also has thunder."
-
The sky is scorching hot.

The mountains are dark and overlapping.

A dozen strange black ships passed through the lush mountains, and under the shadows of the mountains and jungles, they sailed along the water towards Wushan.

On the boat, boys and girls were scattering flowers, and someone was performing Nuo opera on the deck, singing ancient tunes with a Sichuan accent.

On the decks of several ships in front, there were statues of ghosts standing, as if to imply that the ghosts were clearing the way for the ship in the middle, as if the supreme ghost was sitting in that ship.

We docked on the way and settled at the foot of a mountain.

The boys and girls spread a very rare black tiger skin on the grass. A Taoist wearing a golden crown and black clothes walked out of the boat and sat on the tiger skin, quietly enjoying the water and food. The others knelt around him and no one dared to move.

Taoist Jinguan was looking at the scenery on both sides of the river leisurely, and at this time, someone came up to him and knelt down to report.

"Master!" "Speak!"

"Someone from the headquarters came to report that something happened."

"What's going on? Is it about the Wushan Goddess in Jinzhou?"

"No, this time it said that something happened inside the headquarters. It's urgent. It's all in the letter."

"Who sent it?"

"It was sent from Guancheng."

The person who came to deliver the letter was not someone from the headquarters in the actual sense, but someone from the human, goblin and ghost messenger. He vaguely felt that something was not right at the headquarters, as all the people sent in during the past few days had never returned.

Although the people inside sent out a letter saying that because of the unusual movements of the Wood Immortal recently, they were preparing a sacrifice to appease the Wood Immortal.

Therefore, no one is allowed to enter or leave the main altar to prevent the secret of the Wood Immortal from being leaked.

but.

The human goblin and the ghost catcher still used their keen sense of smell to detect that something was wrong at the headquarters.

The human goblin and the ghost immediately sent someone to inform the news, right after the previous letter said that something happened in Jinzhou.

After reading it, Taoist Jinguan still had that leisurely look on his face, and even chuckled.

As if to say.

Such trivial matters are not worth mentioning.

No one spoke, for they knew that Taoist Jinguan would speak next.

"It seems."

"There are some clowns in my sect who want to replace me!"

In the opinion of the leader of the Five Ghosts Sect, the changes at the headquarters must be caused by internal rebellion.

If not.

With so many people in the dock, there will definitely be some movement.

It's impossible that such a large dock with so many people inside and outside could be occupied by outsiders without any noise.

It's nothing more than someone who wants to rebel and usurp his position.

It would be fine if he didn't know about this, but once he was prepared, the other party would have no chance of winning.

When he returns, he will be able to easily defeat the other party. The power of the Five Ghosts is not just a headquarters, and he is not dead yet. What's the point of occupying the headquarters at this time?

Only if he dies and occupies the headquarters and issues orders as the new Taoist master, can he control the entire Five Ghosts Sect.

However, Taoist Jinguan was still a little worried, because this incident happened at a very inappropriate time. He had just received a letter saying that the goddess of Wushan in Jinzhou had appeared, and then something happened at the main temple.

Taoist Jinguan: "What's going on with this Wushan Goddess?"

The statue of the Wushan Goddess was taken out by the Taoist master of the Five Ghosts, and the plan was also arranged by him.

The purpose of meeting King Ba this time was nominally to pray for blessings, but in fact it was also for this matter. The Five Ghosts wanted to take over Jinzhou by chance.

The Five Ghosts Sect is not just an ordinary Taoist sect. In Ba, it can be said that it is an integrated political and religious sect. They also have a large number of troops under their command. In a certain sense, the King of Ba is also extremely dependent on them.

This time, Jinzhou was facing internal and external troubles, and he felt that he had an 80% chance of taking it down. Who would have known that this would happen? Who would have known that the Goddess of Wushan would be born, and it was he who sent the Goddess of Wushan away.

"I have seen the Jade Maiden statue countless times before, but how come I never knew that it was so magical?"

Unable to figure it out, Taoist Jinguan stopped thinking about it and continued to plan things regarding the headquarters.

He didn't know what to do about the Wushan Goddess and Jinzhou, but the Five Ghosts Taoist Master was confident that he could deal with the clowns at the headquarters.

The Taoist with the Golden Crown stood up and stopped resting.

"Hurry back to the main altar and subdue the group of clowns and the demons that are causing trouble."

"Yes!"

At this moment, there was movement in the forest behind him.

Everyone immediately looked back, and someone rushed forward and stood in front of the Taoist Master Jinguan.

"who is it?"

"Who is so bold as to spy on the Lord of the Five Ghosts?"

"Show up quickly."

After everyone's scolding and roaring, the figure in the forest finally appeared.

A woman riding a red leopard and holding a cat on her shoulders came from afar, and gradually appeared on the high slope under the sun, looking down.

"what?"

"Is it a woman?"

"Like, riding a leopard?"

“Can you ride a leopard?”

"No, riding a leopard, this is a bit like..."

While everyone was talking, the other party had already walked down the slope and came slowly through the forest.

The magical flower behind the woman's head was spinning, and the camera slowly swept across the people below, finally locking onto the Taoist with the Golden Crown.

His appearance and dress completely matched the information previously obtained about the Five Ghost Lord.

From the perspective of the Goddess of Wushan, a line of words appeared on the body of the Taoist priest with the golden crown.

"Synchronization rate, eighty-three percent."

But the Taoist monk with the Golden Crown and the others also followed the other party and walked down, gradually seeing the appearance of the woman riding the leopard clearly. The others all had horrified expressions, as if they understood something.

The Taoist with the Golden Crown was even more frightened and at a loss, because compared to the others, he was more familiar with the woman riding on a leopard.

The other person's appearance was almost identical to the jade statue that he asked the two ghost officials to take away.

"Goddess of Wushan?"

The other person came closer and sat on the leopard looking at him.

Being stared at by such an inhuman creature, even the knowledgeable Lord of the Five Ghosts felt his hands and feet go cold, but he immediately touched something in his sleeve and immediately felt some confidence.

He seemed to be particularly confident in his own methods, because that was indeed the supreme magical power of the Five Ghosts Dao that he had used with success since he became the Taoist master.

"Reggae takes orders."

"Kill the demons."

Taoist Jinguan roared and took something out of his sleeve. It was a black copper bottle that looked somewhat similar to the miasma gourd.

After the Taoist priest Jinguan took out the black copper bottle, he chanted incantations and made hand gestures.

The Goddess of Wushan was not in a hurry either. She just rode on the leopard and watched him quietly.

Seems to want to take a look.

What exactly is the reggae in the legend of the Five Ghosts?
After a while, it was almost time.

"Hurry up as a law!"

Afterwards, Taoist Jinguan immediately threw away the copper bottle that started to smoke.

After throwing it out, Taoist Jinguan couldn't help but reveal a smug look on his face.

I'm also imagining it in my mind.

There was fire all over the place, along with explosions.

Even if the Wushan Goddess in front of him was made of stone, she would be blown to pieces.

He had heard before that the witch in the Yunzhong Temple had such power, and there were also rumors from Fu County.

Presumably, it should be a similar method, such as a divine thunder destroying the city wall, flattening the mountains, and filling the sky with flames.

He had heard similar legends before, but they were just rumors.

He certainly doesn't believe it.

I am a person who plays tricks on others, how can I be fooled by others who play tricks on others?
But before the reggae bottle fell, an even more shocking scene appeared.

This scene frightened many people so much that they ran away in panic, and some trembled in fear, not daring to look directly at the Goddess of Wushan.

"boom!"

I saw.

Dense "Mountain Ghost Vines" extended out from behind him, and then one of the vines swung and knocked the reggae bottle out, dropping it into the distance.

"Boom."

The sound came from afar, but the woman who came riding on the leopard was not hurt at all and was still looking at the Taoist with the Golden Crown quietly.

It seems to be saying, if you have any other tricks, show them to us.

"what?"

Taoist Jinguan never thought that the reggae that he had always used with great success would be broken like this. The opponent seemed to know the secret of his reggae and saw through it at a glance.

What is reggae? It is nothing but gunpowder discovered by Taoists while making elixirs. After the Five Ghosts discovered its power, they put it into a copper bottle and named it the Reggae Bottle.

Everyone believes that reggae is sealed in the bottle and that it could kill people if it is released.

Although the power is not great, it is still enough to kill people, and the accompanying fire, smoke, and explosion are even more powerful, enough to scare the unsuspecting people to death.

Seeing that his reggae bottle was broken, Taoist Jinguan suddenly became a little panicked.

He immediately took out another reggae bottle, but he was no longer confident in his methods. He hesitated for a moment, then shouted loudly.

"Reggae, listen to my orders!"

"Ghosts, listen up!"

Hearing the call from the Taoist Master Jinguan, many Taoist Five Ghosts dressed as evil spirits instinctively rushed forward and took out various weapons.

Taoist Master Jinguan gave an order and shouted to these ghost disciples who had been training for many years.

"This person is definitely not the goddess of Wushan, but a demon in the mountains."

"All ghosts, listen up and kill this evildoer immediately."

Finally, the Taoist Master Jinguan even offered the most tempting conditions.

"Kill this beast."

"After death, one can enter the land of immortality."
