Chapter 426: The Story of the Immortal God (1)
The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more incredible it felt. How could this disciple, who was only in his twenties, cultivate as many as three kinds of spiritual powers in such a short time? Even for a person with extraordinary talent, it is impossible to cultivate three kinds of spiritual powers in twenty years!
He was the best in Beast Mountain for thousands of years, and it took him more than four hundred and several decades to cultivate the three kinds of spiritual power!
So he asked again: "Xiao Mu, tell the master honestly, how did you cultivate these kinds of spiritual powers?"
Chu Xiaomu remembered that the King of All Beasts once said that he had wood-type spiritual power in his body because he ate wood spiritual fruit, which was what Cheng Huang asked him to eat in his previous life. A few months ago, after being injured by the Rotten Eye and recuperating at the top of the Unseen Peak, Cheng Huang picked four or five fruits for him to eat. There was a fruit that was almost transparent and thick in the middle and pointed at both ends. After he ate it, his whole body was paralyzed for a long time, and he thought he was poisoned; there was another fruit that looked like a fat worm, and it would drill into the soil after falling to the ground... It seems that these fruits are also spiritual fruits.
He then told his master in detail about the several things that happened when Cheng Huang picked fruits for him to eat. However, when he mentioned Cheng Huang, he only called it by its nickname "Qi Sheng" instead of "Shenma Cheng Huang".
When the Queen Mother heard him describe the shape of the fruit, she knew it was a rare spiritual fruit in the Beast Mountain once every hundred years. When she heard that his horse actually knew how to pick spiritual fruits, she felt strange and angry. She said with a straight face, "The Three Dews and Seven Fruits are the first-class treasures of the Beast Mountain. The ancestors said that this is the result of the flow of spiritual energy in our Beast Mountain, and it can almost be regarded as a divine weapon. They are also of great help to the stability of the spiritual energy in our Beast Mountain. Didn't that Xiao Dizi tell you these things?"
Chu Xiaomu shook his head and said, "The Beast King is always unhappy every day. He rarely talks to me, let alone these things."
"Then do you know that stealing spiritual fruits without the consent of the King of All Beasts is a serious crime in our Beast Mountain. At the very least, your spiritual power will be wasted, and at the worst, your head will be chopped off and your heart dug out, destroying your spiritual body?"
Chu Xiaomu had heard Sihu say this, so he replied, "Disciple knows."
The Queen Mother asked, "Then why do you allow your horse to steal again and again?"
Chu Xiaomu whispered: "Master, disciple...my horse is called..."
"I don't care what it's called. Stealing spiritual fruit is wrong. It's the treasure of Beast Mountain. Even though you are my disciple, I can't be partial to you!"
"Its name is Cheng Huang..."
The Queen Mother was so shocked that she was stunned and could not believe her ears.
"You said it...what's its name?" The Queen Mother's voice was trembling a little.
"Master, it's called Cheng Huang, the Cheng Huang that will be reborn and reincarnated."
"Quick, quick, call it over here so I can have a look."
Chu Xiaomu whistled twice and ran over like lightning, with tasseled purple leaves all over his body.
The Queen Mother looked Cheng Huang up and down carefully, stretched out her hand to push aside the dark golden hair on its forehead, and indeed saw a blood-red bead. The mask on its head just happened to have a hole more than an inch in size there, and it was not covered.
Cheng Huang is already two years old and is as tall as an ordinary adult horse. When Chu Xiaomu first saw the danzhu on its forehead in Huang Jieshi's Shisantai Fangcun Room, it was only the size of a thumb. Now it has grown to the size of nearly two fingers.
The Queen Mother murmured, "Sure enough...it is indeed Cheng Huang...you have saved my life..." She gently stroked Cheng Huang's head and neck, her hands trembling slightly, and she was obviously quite excited.
The mask on Cheng Huang's head was made by Shenwu Bumie, and was taken off after his death. When the Queen Mother met Cheng Huang, Shenwu Bumie had been dead for decades, so she could not recognize it by the mask. But the white-haired old ape from Bu Jianfeng could, so he must have seen Cheng Huang wearing it.
The Queen Mother stroked Cheng Huang for a long time, and gradually calmed down. She patted the horse's back and let Cheng Huang go on his own. Then she said to Chu Xiaomu: "Xiaomu, have you ever heard of a prophecy?"
Chu Xiaomu asked, "Master, are you talking about the phrase 'A divine horse appears, and a strange man is born'? I heard the general and Huang Jieshi talk about it in Bicheng." In fact, the first time he heard this phrase was when he followed Zhou Bo to the Nanding Army camp. During a break, they saw a group of horses led by Huang running on the grassland. One of the old soldiers shouted out the eight words "A divine horse appears, and a strange man is born", and then Zhou Bo and Jinglan had a brief discussion about this phrase. However, Chu Xiaomu had never heard of the story of the immortal god, so he didn't think it was magical. It was not until Bi Ye and Huang Jieshi discussed the immortal god that he realized that the eight words had a story, and it was a very, very exciting story.
The Queen Mother nodded and stared at Chu Xiaomu, with infinite love and appreciation in her eyes.
Chu Xiaomu then asked: "This sentence was passed down from the man Shenwu Bumie. Master, who exactly is this Shenwu Bumie?"
The Queen Mother looked at the peaks far away outside the Purple Dust Peak, recalled the scenes of hundreds of years, and said: "Shenwu Bumie was born more than 650 years ago. He became famous when he was about 40 years old. He was a big shot in the four countries of Canglan, Chi and Bai at that time. The powerful figures you know now, such as Jindao Black Sword of Jinyang City, Changduan, the God of Killing of Xihai City, and even Spirit King Biye and Emperor Xiaozi, are all not worth mentioning in front of Shenwu Bumie."
"Five or six hundred years ago, evil spirits were rampant in the world, doing evil and murdering people. The people of all countries suffered greatly. Even the beast spirits of our Beast Mountain suffered because of the evil spirits. Unfortunately, several gods fled far away from the world, leaving thousands of lives in danger. Chisha appeared in the human world more often, and he turned a blind eye to this. Perhaps in their eyes, ordinary people are the same as evil spirits, and there is no difference between good and evil."
"In the midst of the chaos, an extraordinary person finally appeared. He rode a yellow horse and held the Nishen Sword in his hand. He killed demons and evil spirits when he saw them. The evil spirits in the world would flee as soon as they heard his name, let alone challenge him to a fight. This person... this person was the famous Shenwu Bumie at that time!"
"But there are too many evil spirits and bad people in the world, and they are hiding everywhere and are very cunning. Although Shenwu Bumie has supernatural powers, it took him more than a hundred years to basically kill them all. It can be said that Shenwu Bumie created peace in the world with his own efforts..."
Chu Xiaomu interrupted and said, "Master, so Shenwu Bumie is a good person. Why is the general always unhappy when he mentions him? Could it be that..."
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Shenwu Bumie has indeed made great contributions to the world in eliminating demons and killing evil, but it is hard to say that he is a good person..."
