Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 288 The Village Becomes Beautiful

"Captain, look at the intertwined crowns of the three golden trees. Do they look like large arrow towers?" An observant guard said in amazement, looking up at the treetops that looked like a giant bird's nest.

Upon hearing this, Yiluo and the others looked and discovered that the three golden trees were growing in a triangle, with their branches intertwined to form a platform, like a bird's nest.

What’s even more amazing is that there is a hole in the tree canopy where branches are intertwined, which can be used for people to enter and exit.

One glance and you'll know that this hole is specially prepared for them to enter and exit.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Let's go up and take a look."

As soon as these words fell, a group of people climbed the trees like clever monkeys, passed through the holes deliberately left by the three golden trees, and reached the treetops.

Standing in the strong and powerful tree canopy, looking through the windows of branches, the view suddenly becomes clear.

"It's amazing! This is a natural arrow tower. With a little modification, it can be used to install a crossbow, or as an arrow tower or sentry tower."

"No, no, no, the bed machine crossbow cannot be installed. The branches block the view and it is not conducive to operation. The golden tree is meant to be used as an arrow tower and a sentry tower."

"Why can't it be installed? Just modify the tree branch window a little bit and it will..."

The sound of argument arose and spread outward with the night wind, attracting curious villagers.

Then, they were shocked by the three golden trees that were placed in an orderly manner.

Standing in the pavilion, Yu Huo looked out at the glowing object in the direction of the village wall and asked Shang Liangshan curiously, "Liangshan, what's glowing over there? It looks a bit like a big tree."

They only saw the dead trees on the village wall come back to life and branches grow out from the ground, but they did not witness the growth of the branches.

"It's a big tree. There are three trees from one mother. It was created by the mountain spirit itself. It took a lot of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to create it. It's true that one who doesn't manage the household doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are." Shang Liangshan couldn't help but complain.

Plant miracles come at a price.

"Liangshan, you are being a little stingy." Taoist Xuanzhen laughed and explained, "In order to breed these strange trees, the mountain spirit used a lot of earth power to warm their roots. It was not until today that they were promoted to the seventh rank that they were activated. It can be said that they put in a lot of effort."

"Speaking of mountain spirits, I am a little confused. Why did it run to the depths of the rock peaks to conceive spirits?" Shang Liangshan asked the question that was puzzled in his heart.

Taoist Xuan Ce took a sip of tea and then explained: "The Mountain and River Seal is the foundation of the Taoist temple after all, and it cannot be moved lightly. That's why the mountain spirit found another way, using the rock peak as the foundation to nurture its spirit, to achieve the mountain spirit, and to condense the power of the Taoist temple and the rock peak into one."

"In this way, the attack power and suppressive power of the Mountain and River Seal will increase exponentially. This may be the idea of ​​the Earth Qi Golden Python."

The old patriarch grasped the point and asked, "Master, the rock peak is not very big, so the power it can increase should not be that big, right?"

"Brother Yi, don't just look at the appearance of things. The rock peak is indeed not big, but this is only the part exposed on the surface. No one has explored how big its foundation is. Moreover, this rock peak has experienced no less than hundreds of lightning strikes. How can a rock peak that has been forged by so many lightning strikes not be different?"

"What the Taoist said makes sense. I'll go and prepare some barbecue for the guests." Yihuo agreed and jumped to the edge of the cliff.

Then, he jumped off the cliff and cried out: "My beast, why are there so many vines? I slipped and hurt my butt."

"Haha" Yi Jin was the first to laugh in an unkind manner.

The sudden burst of "Haha" laughter was enough to put a perfect end to this evening.

In the Huawai Taoist temple, Xiaocao was puzzled as he looked at the vast new open space. How many medicinal herbs should he plant to fill the open space?

The soil layer seemed to know what the grass was thinking and gave a suggestion: "You don't need to plant all herbs. You can choose fruit trees with sufficient spiritual energy to expand the planting."

"We need to reserve some land to build a training ground for the Spirit Guards," Fang Kuai reminded.

After listening to what the two said, Xiaocao suddenly felt that the newly expanded ten miles of land was not enough.

"I'm going to find Commander Zi Ling to first decide on the area of ​​the training ground, and then plan the other things." Xiao Cao left in a hurry after he finished speaking, without even taking a rest.

"I'm really worried sick." The soil layer sighed and walked towards the spring with the block. They had to hurry to recover. If nothing went as expected, they would have to help Xiaocao tomorrow.

Deep in the mountains, there is a village tightly embraced by rocky cliffs.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrates the clouds and falls on this peaceful village, the whole village seems to be gently covered by a thin layer of golden gauze, looking like a dream.

The village is surrounded by lush trees, with tall and straight pines and cypresses intertwined with graceful golden fir trees, forming a green ocean.

The early morning air is filled with the moist scent of earth, mixed with the faint fragrance of grass and trees, allowing people to feel the freshness and vitality of nature.

The breeze blows gently, and the leaves sway gently, making a rustling sound, as if telling the story of the village.

This is the Forgotten Village, and this is the scene that the villagers see when they wake up at dawn and walk out of their courtyards.

As the morning sun rose, fog began to flow slowly through the village.

They are like a group of naughty children, running and playing among the woods.

The fog is sometimes thick and sometimes thin, adding a bit of mystery and haziness to the village.

The houses and fields outside the village are looming in the fog, like a mirage, which makes people want to explore.

"Wow, the village has become more beautiful." The children's joyful voices rang out, and they started chasing and playing in the village.

The adults were immersed in the familiar yet unfamiliar village for a long time, unable to extricate themselves. It was truly a feast for the eyes.

However, there is a time limit for appreciation. They still need to burn incense to thank the temple spirits for their protection and for their creation of the village, and start a day’s work.

On the other side of the Yanfeng River, the temple guards looked at the parade ground they had built with their own hands, which was reduced to ruins after last night's fierce fighting, and felt like crying but had no tears.

"Don't hold back, start rebuilding quickly." Da Niu called out.

"Yes!" All the temple guards responded in unison and began to rebuild the parade ground.

Behind the ruins of the temple guard parade ground, Yifeng looked at the scattered and fallen trees and couldn't help but ponder how to make use of the wasteland that was violently reclaimed.

Yang Chao looked at the forest that was swept away by the aftermath of last night's battle and said with a sigh, "The battle between the seventh rank warriors was so horrific. Fortunately, they fought in the air. If they had fought in the forest, this forest would have been destroyed."

"You think the evil demons want to fight Liangshan in the air, but they are afraid that Liangshan will use the terrain to be invincible, so they fight in the air." Yishui said as he patted the fallen tree.

"In the end, they made a wrong decision and were killed by Liangshan to establish their power. If the battle last night were to get out, our Forgotten Township would officially become a first-class township." Yang Chao said excitedly.

He witnessed Shang Liangshan being struck by lightning and growing stronger step by step.
