I am a fairy

Chapter 187: The Divine Tree Ruomu and Wen Yunzhong Junyou
Jiang Chao has not paid any attention to the outside world recently. He still doesn't know who won the final competition in Bashu or what stage it has reached.

Although Jiang Chao initially preferred Wen Shenyou, it was because he was more stable and more controllable.

This has nothing to do with fairness or unfairness, but rather that Wen Shenyou will make the subsequent base station installation process more stable, and the cost and damage may be less.

However, it is naturally impossible to do it unconditionally and infinitely.

In the words of Wangshu.

Depends on whether it's worth the electricity bill.

Wangshu: "Wen Shenyou attacked day and night to seize Bazhong. He is now confronting Mu Chaotian in Bazhong and Qianguan. He has fought more than ten battles but has not won."

Jiang Chao: "That doesn't look good."

Wangshu: “But we held on.”

Jiang Chao: "That's OK."

Wen Shenyou showed through his actions that he could earn back the electricity bill for Yun Zhongjun.

At least.

Can pay off the interest on the loan incurred earlier.

And then, Wangshu talked about another thing.

Wangshu: "By the way, the prospecting apes recently discovered oil and natural gas in Shu."

Jiang Chao: "Does this mean you want to increase investment?"

Wangshu: "I modified a wood fairy a little bit and prepared to try a new model. I plan to send it over there. The Black Water Hell cannot be built by evil spirits alone."

Jiang Chao lay under a tree, looking at the radio beside him.

"Wooden Immortal?"

"Renovation?"

"I was walking around here recently and I didn't notice it."

Wangshu's voice came from the radio and told Jiang Chao.

“I put it outside.”

Outside the Goddess Peak of Wushan Mountain.

A large area of ​​hills and valleys that were burned to ashes by the previous artillery fire, some strange trees and vines have recently migrated from somewhere unknown.

The overwhelming Yongyou spread from behind the Goddess Peak of Wushan Mountain, almost running through the land and hills, and leading directly to the Wujiang River. Above each of these Yongyou there are parasitic plants of various colors providing nutrients for them.

In addition to ordinary plants and trees, there is a tree hidden among ordinary trees at a distance. It is actually a tree demon that integrates transformers, circuit breakers, relays, capacitors, reactors and other equipment.

His name is Yao Ke, and he was transformed from a peach tree.

Jiang Chao walked through the forest and looked up at one of the monsters.

Its most obvious feature is the densely packed Yongyou vines inside its body and under the tree. Some of those Yongyou vines have completely parasitized on its body, turning into part of its epidermis and the roots underneath.

Those parasites on the epidermis are particularly obvious, but what is invisible is the machinery inside.

Jiang Chao: "Why is it called a demon guest?"

Wangshu: "It was named by the goddess of Wushan. It comes from the metaphor of peach blossoms as demon guests in "Thirty Guests in Xixi Congyu", describing their enchanting and charming appearance."

Jiang Chao walked across a suspension bridge above the valley.

If you look closely, you will find that this suspension bridge is actually made up of a kind of vine, with tiny white flowers blooming on it. It is very poetic when you walk across it.

Finally, he finally saw the wood fairy.

In fact, he saw it when he was on the suspension bridge. It was a huge fir tree, about seventy or eighty meters high. Standing on the ground like a giant pillar, it attracted people's attention.

Jiang Chao slowly walked towards the fir tree and placed his hand on it.

God of Heaven: "Applying to connect to undefined drilling and collection equipment, permission approved."

Jiang Chao Xiangu immediately sensed the situation inside and outside the big tree, or it could be said that he took over the authority of the fir tree. If he had the ability to manipulate this giant tree, he could even control it.

"Shhhhh!"

In Jiang Chao's mind, a three-dimensional image immediately appeared.

He suddenly found out.

Beneath the outer shell of this giant tree, there are densely packed and crisscrossing vines, and huge amounts of electricity pass through these vines to reach every corner of the giant tree.

Some of these vines are as thick as thighs, while others are as thin as silk. All of them are connected to a machine or local equipment, or they themselves are part of these strange machines.

Wangshu actually stuffed a drilling and mining machine into the body of this former Wood Immortal of the Five Ghosts.

A living machine was created.

"No, it's not just that."

When Jiang Chao looked up at the height of the Wood Immortal again, he could see the brains of those traitors who had been sacrificed by the Five Ghosts, the ghost disciples who wanted to become immortals, the enemies who opposed them, and the various animals that had been parasitized by the Wood Immortal for many years.

Jiang Chao had asked Wangshu before and knew that these beings had merged together to become something like a collective consciousness.

And now, the brains of these beings are connected in a strange array and are more closely connected.

Because the connection no longer had any complicated intermediate links, the collective consciousness composed of these brains even gave Jiang Chao a feeling that it was no longer so confusing, and he could even faintly sense a rational thinking that was like a weapon.

Looking further up, Jiang Chao also saw dense clusters of hunger-free vines growing on the treetops or hanging down from above.

"this?"

Jiang Chao let go of his hand and looked at the giant tree silently.

It is composed of wood fairies, countless vine monsters, hundreds of animal brains, and an all-in-one drilling and mining equipment.

A super-large chimera of plants, animals, and machines.

Jiang Chao never imagined that Wangshu had created such a thing not long after Yongyou and Wuji were born.

Jiang Chao: "Aren't you afraid that it might develop wisdom one day and cause a backlash?"

Wangshu: “Not afraid.”

Jiang Chao: "Why?"

Wangshu: "Because my computing power is far superior to it."

Jiang Chao: "It will evolve."

Wangshu: "I will evolve too."

From the perspective of the God of Heaven, Wangshu sat on the big tree as the moonlight fell and continued speaking.

"It's useless even if all the brains in the world are connected together. However, a poor version of artificial intelligence with low computing power but logical thinking can sometimes be very useful and interesting."

Jiang Chao looked at the Wangshu on the tree. Compared with the monster he had seen before, this super-large chimera of plants, animals and machines was countless times more complicated.

"Is this also a tree demon?"

The Moon Goddess on the tree held her chin with one hand, leaned gently against the tree, and spoke its name.

"The sacred tree is like a tree!"

Jiang Chao certainly knew this: "The Ruomu in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Between the Black Water and the Green Water, there is a tree called Ruomu, from which the Ruo Water flows.

When Jiang Chao heard the name, he roughly guessed that the name should have been given by the Goddess of Wushan. She liked to use names from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, just like the previous Yongyou.

Jiang Chao stopped asking unnecessary questions and began to observe the former Wood Immortal of the Five Ghosts Path, the current sacred tree Ruomu.

“Where did the drilling and mining machine come from?”

Wangshu was sitting on the tree. Jiang Chao was clearly circling the tree, but no matter where he looked up, he could see Wangshu looking at him.

"It was manufactured by the dragon breeding center at the Mudan Dragon Palace, but only machine parts came out. It was assembled and upgraded to become a monster here."

Jiang Chao: "How are you going to get it to where the prospecting apes have discovered the oil and gas fields?"

Wangshu: "Take the water route first. If the water route cannot reach a place, let it go by itself."

Jiang Chao: "Can it still walk on its own?"

Wangshu: "It can also swim short distances!"

Jiang Chao imagined the scene of this giant tree in the river, waving its vines and roots and moving upstream. It was indeed quite magical.

Wangshu knew that Jiang Chao was about to be discharged from the hospital, but he had not yet decided where to go.

“This is a test machine.”

"I don't know if it can be successfully operated or if there will be any problems."

"Great God Yunzhongjun!"

"Would you like to go over and see how this monster works, how to refine and upgrade it? Maybe you can use it in the future?"

"By the way, take a look at that Wen Yunzhong Junyou."

Jiang Chao really wanted to see what the scene would be like when such a huge drilling rig was in motion, and how shocking it would be.

Jiang Chao: "Go and have a look!"

Wangshu teased, "You can also go and take a look at the palace and pomp of the King of Ba, so that poor Yunzhongjun can also broaden his horizons."

Jiang Chao nodded: "Let's go and have a look too."

By the Wu River.

The Tiangong clan is currently very busy here. The Wushan Goddess Palace on the mountain and a series of nearby buildings were built by them. The same is true for the Longgong Port on the side of the Wujiang River, which is like a small hill surrounded by monsters and vines.

They are also responsible for building the Dragon Road that runs beneath the ground and the secret warehouses and transfer stations deep in the earth, but it is unknown when they will be completed.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and the roar in the distance could be faintly heard across the mountain tops.

There were secret places whose uses were completely unknown to mortals, not even the people who built them. The Tiangong people wearing bamboo helmets raised their heads and looked towards the place where the noise came from.

"The ground is shaking?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up, the earth dragon is turning over."

"It doesn't look like it. What's going on?" A Taoist priest or shaman ran down from the Goddess Peak of Wushan Mountain and saw the same scene.

"Look over there, that's the sacred tree."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they saw that the giant tree that originally stood by the Wu River slowly began to move.

Under my feet, extremely thick steel cables began to wriggle and were slowly pulled out from deep in the earth.

It extended vines that hung on the cliffs, and then it slowly swayed towards the ground. The branches gathered into its body, and finally it lay flat on the ground.

Several large trucks with tiger heads and dragon bodies rushed out and went under the giant tree.

The Ruomu did not need to be tied up. It extended its dense vines and turned them into ropes to tie itself up.

And those large trucks with tiger heads and dragon bodies look like the wheels under it at this moment.

Carrying huge trees into Wujiang River.

Finally, they reached the bank of Wu River. The vines of the giant tree began to move on their own, loosened the truck underneath them, and crawled into the Wu River little by little.

At this time, one dragon after another swam down.

Ruomu spread out the vines again and directly wrapped them around these dragon species, allowing them to push him forward.

Jiang Chao stood by the river.

He looked back at the Goddess Peak of Wushan where he had lived for some time, stepped onto the Dragon Seed Baxia, then sat on the Ruomu, and headed deeper into Bashu.

Jiang Chao: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Chao didn't ask where they were passing along the way, but what Ruomu's final destination was.

The radio rang: "Go to Ruoshui."
-
Wen Shenyou woke up from a nightmare and was still sweating profusely after waking up.

In his nightmare, he saw a tiger general raising his spear, killing several people in a row, and then stabbing himself with the spear. He seemed to really see a black tiger appearing behind him, baring its fangs and sharp teeth towards him and biting his neck.

"kill!"

He dodged in panic, but was knocked off his horse and to the ground by the shaking of the gun.

When he was about to die, his personal guards pulled him onto the horse, and he managed to escape under the protection of others.

on the bed.

Wen Shenyou stood up and wiped the sweat from his head.

That dream was not fake, but something that really happened not long ago.

But that scene was deeply engraved in Wen Shenyou's mind, making him terrified by the thrilling scene even in his dreams at midnight.

Mu Chaotian was indeed a famous general who had fought his way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses for many years. Under the guidance of the former Five Ghosts, Wen Shenyou attacked day and night and took the dangerous city gate first. However, he still led a large army to attack the city and beat him miserably.

The fearless and brave soldiers under his command are much more elite than those brought by Wen Shenyou.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers brought by Wen Shenyou were from Jinzhou. After coming thousands of miles away, they had no choice but to rely on him, otherwise there might be a big chaos.

But it's a critical moment.

Wen Shenyou had to personally lead the cavalry out of the city to attack many times, and he almost died outside the city many times, but every time he ran back from the brink of life and death.

"Dalang!"

"Do you think you can bear this destiny?"

Wen Shenyou felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, but remembering what his grandfather had said, he gritted his teeth and held on.

Wen Shenyou finally managed to hold on to the dangerous city, and things finally turned around.

One day, he stayed awake all night.

Fearing that the enemy might launch a surprise attack late at night, he patrolled the city walls despite being injured until dawn.

At dawn, he found that Mu Chaotian's camp was silent.

He sent someone over to take a look, and immediately rode back shouting.

"The Pseudo-Yan has retreated! Retreat!"

The whole city cheered.

Mu Chaotian's army retreated overnight without even burning the camp, and they also left behind a lot of baggage, which shows how panicked and hasty they were.

At first, he thought that he had defeated the famous Northern Yan general Mu Chaotian, and he felt somewhat proud of himself.

But that afternoon, the news came from Jinzhou across the many checkpoints in Badong.

The person who came to report the news from Jinzhou knelt on the ground and spoke loudly.

"Northern Yan is stubborn and is slaughtering the people of Chu, defying the will of heaven!"

"The decree of Lord Yunzhong!"

"Order the fire dragon to cross the river, thunder will fall from the sky, ghosts and gods will travel at night, and demons will leave the world."

"The 100,000 Yan soldiers stationed in Jinzhou were completely wiped out overnight, and 100,000 evil spirits were thrown into hell."

Upon hearing the news, everyone in the tent turned pale.

"what?"

"One hundred thousand soldiers were slaughtered overnight, without a single one left?"

"No wonder, no wonder, Mu Chaotian was so frightened that he fled overnight."

"This is also due to the general's blessing from heaven. Otherwise, how could we have such a great victory?"

Wen Shenyou then understood that Mu Chaotian led his troops to retreat after hearing the bad news, and the "Shenyou" in his name was truly true.

Everyone in the tent looked at Wen Shenyou. Although this guy looked unattractive at first glance and did not look like a leader,

But as he made his way here from Jinzhou, his words and deeds gradually became more disciplined, especially his courage to fight and his perseverance to hold his breath, which won the recognition of the military officers.

The news coming at this moment and what happened not long ago seemed to have cast a special glow over it.

at this time.

Wen Shenyou reacted immediately and shouted angrily.

"This person is ignorant of fate. He knew clearly that the heaven had issued a decree, yet he still dared to trespass into the community temple, disturb the gods, and commit murder."

"The main culprit behind the massacre in Chu was Mu Chaotian. It's a pity that God's blessing was incompetent and he actually let him escape back."

"next time."

"Next time, I will definitely kill Mu Chaotian, this evil villain who disobeys the will of heaven."

"Capture him in the midst of the battle array, chop off his head, and banish his soul to the netherworld of hell to be punished for a thousand lifetimes."

What Wen Shenyou said later was not false. He suffered a great loss at the hands of Mu Chaotian this time. He was beaten badly and barely escaped death. However, the strong competitive spirit and hostility in his heart continued to accumulate.

He was afraid of Mu Chaotian, but he also wanted to defeat him.

but.

There are more important things to do at this time.

Wen Shenyou was welcomed by the Five Ghosts and entered Badong Bazhong, where he fought with Mu Chaotian for many days. At this time, Badu seemed to have just reacted.

The capital of the State of Ba, located in Banan, experienced waves of bloody massacres and fighting. After multiple reshuffles, the new ruler immediately sent a large army to take advantage of the battle between Wen Shenyou and Mu Chaotian to regain lost territory and defeat the enemy, thus becoming the fisherman while the snipe and the clam are fighting.

But by this time, it was too late.

Wen Shenyou, with the momentum of "greatly defeating" the famous Northern Yan general Mu Chaotian, turned around with his "victorious" army and rushed to Banan.

Wen Shenyou attacked the Ba army halfway with great speed before they could react, and defeated them before they could react.

Then we headed straight to Banan.

Don't stop for a moment.

"Mu Chaotian was defeated by the general of the Wu Dynasty, and his life or death is unknown."

"Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Wu Dynasty are coming."

"Everyone in the east has surrendered."

All of a sudden.

People were in panic, and all kinds of rumors, true or false, spread from outside to Banan and the capital of the State of Ba.

The new ruler, who had not yet secured his position, was immediately beheaded as a token of his surrender after a major defeat.

As soon as Wen Shenyou's army arrived, he saw the "common people" who were eager to attend court opening the city gates and coming to welcome him with food and drink.

And so we entered Batu.

But after entering Badu, Wen Shenyou was suddenly shocked.

He saw the palace of the King of Ba. The specifications of the palace were in no way inferior to those of Huajing, and many of the luxurious items and expenses inside even exceeded those of the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty in Huajing.

He saw the fleet of palace ships and painted boats that the King of Ba needed tens of thousands of people to pull the oars, the palace that housed tens of thousands of actors and musicians, and the beauties that the King of Ba had collected from all over the country under his rule.

Wen Shenyou also came from a royal family.

However, the King of Ba's extravagance and greed were still beyond his expectations.

In other words, the power the emperor possessed and the extent to which he could do whatever he wanted was beyond his imagination.

Even.

He is just a fake emperor of Shu.

Wen Shenyou looked at the dragon bed in the palace, motionless.

Late at night.

Wen Shenyou woke up from a nightmare and couldn't fall asleep again.

He thought of his grandfather, Mu Chaotian, and the dragon couch in King Naba's palace.

He put on some clothes, got up from the bed and looked at the couch in the room.

Imagine what the dragon couch looks like.

Then sat on it.
