Chapter 1067: Leaving China (1)
As the light and breath on the temple gathered, the state of the temple also changed from solid to virtual. At the same time, the places where Xu Changqing walked around the peach tree before, layers of floating lights like water waves appeared. These floating lights combined together to form an ancient array diagram with an ancient aura.
At the moment when the array diagram was formed, several array eyes in the image spewed out golden light like fountains, and then five-clawed golden dragons that were difficult to distinguish between reality and reality rushed out of the light and circled around the big peach tree.
As the saying goes, the dragon follows the clouds and the tiger follows the wind. With the appearance of the giant dragon, the imperial garden was immediately covered by thick clouds that appeared out of thin air. The thick clouds also formed fog, which penetrated out of the seal of the imperial garden's law domain, expanded outward with the Forbidden City as the center, and soon spread outside the Forbidden City. The people in the Forbidden City who were covered by clouds and mist lost their direction, and their eyes were blind. The calm would stand in place and wait for the fog to dissipate, while the panicked would touch all the objects that could be relied on like a blind man, and then follow the trend of the object, walking around the Forbidden City in a random way, hoping to get out of the predicament.
The moment the clouds appeared, the big peach tree also untied its hidden body, completely releasing its huge peach tree body, forming a sky canopy that covered the entire Forbidden City. Because of the clouds and mists, this vision was not seen by mortals outside the world. The giant dragons that were originally completely larger than the big peach tree immediately became much smaller in front of the peach tree. They no longer circled around the peach tree, but entered the branches and leaves of the peach tree, wandering among the dense branches and branches. It felt like these five-clawed golden dragons regarded the peach tree crown as a garden for fun.
When the big peach tree showed its body, the completely empty objects on the ground flew up under the guidance of Xu Changqing's magic seal and sank into some of the trunks of the big peach trees. Then, on the branches and leaves at the ends of the trunks, they formed huge peaches, and there was a special fragrance scattered around them.
The five-clawed golden dragons wandering among the branches and leaves immediately rushed towards the peach closest to them, swallowing them in one mouthful.
After swallowing the peaches, these five-clawed golden dragons immediately became particularly excited. Fires of various colors gushed out of the open dragon's mouth, burning the surrounding branches, leaves and trunks.
Although the branches, leaves and trunks of the large peach tree were repeatedly licked by flame tongues, these flame tongues did not ignite any open flames like phantoms. However, some black oily juice will penetrate into the area where the flames swept through, and as the flames swept through, evaporated into a stream of black gas, scattered into the air, forming a strange smell that smells extremely fragrant but gives people a foul smell.
Although the burning of the golden dragon flames seemed extremely false, it was no different from the real burning of the big peach tree itself. It was even more intense. From the beginning of the burning, the entire big peach tree continued to shake violently, as if it was about to shake the entire tree to pieces.
At this time, Xu Changqing had no way to help the big peach tree. Now the big peach tree is tempering its body with the power of the dragon vein according to the divine method he taught. It completely needs the big peach tree to carry it on its own. Once Xu Changqing intervenes, problems may arise in the tempering process. Even if it succeeds in the end, the body will become impure. This subtle problem may become a fatal key when it encounters the backlash of the dragon vein.
Although Xu Changqing could not directly intervene in helping the big peach tree, he could indirectly assist. While stabilizing the dragon vein and guiding the magic circle, he recited the Taoist Qingxin Mantra with his soul, and directly applied the effect of the Qingxin Mantra to the soul of the big peach tree, so that it could calm the dryness caused by the burning of the dragon vein spirit fire in his soul.
The branches and leaves of peach trees that were originally shaking violently gradually calmed down. Although there was still shaking, it was much better than the severe situation at the beginning.
Every branch burned by flames of the big peach tree will become transparent and solid after the impurities are refined. The body will naturally shrink. The big peach tree that originally covered the entire Forbidden City will shrink rapidly during the refining of the flames.
Soon, the huge peach tree was so huge that it only covered the imperial garden, and the shrinkage phenomenon had not disappeared. It continued, but the speed was not as fast as before, but the entire tree body seemed to have become crystal clear and crystal clear, and it began to turn from real to virtual.
When the entire big peach tree completely became invisible under the burning of the dragon vein spiritual fire, the giant dragons transformed from the dragon vein nodes also stopped hovering and swimming in the air, and they all came back into the array eyes when they came out. They disappeared. Xu Changqing also stopped casting spells, formed a mountain seal with his hand, and retracted the divine power injected into the guide array map back into his body. The array map in the imperial garden no longer emitted light at this time, gradually faded and weakened, and eventually disappeared, leaving only a large peach tree that was so illusory that there were only vague shadows left standing in the center of the imperial garden.
When the power of the Golden Dragon, the Forbidden City and other forces disappeared, the thick fog that enveloped the Forbidden City began to weaken and it would disappear completely in no time.
Xu Changqing almost didn't need to use divine consciousness to explore. Just speculation is enough to judge. When the surrounding clouds weakened so that the naked eye could see the surrounding objects, there would inevitably be a large number of policemen and the army would enter here to check the situation. Although the matter just now had been covered with the boundary sealing array as much as possible, and the clouds also covered up all the visions, the clouds themselves were a noticeable vision and could not be blocked at all. The police and army guarding the capital would inevitably be attracted, and large-scale searches would inevitably be indispensable. Moreover, the vice chairman who ordered the arrangement of the altar in the Imperial Garden would inevitably send the most elite people to enter the Forbidden City first and clean up all the traces of the altars and other traces to avoid revealing his plan. Therefore, if Xu Changqing did not want to be noticed by others, there would be less time left for him.
The big peach tree, which had successfully completed the transformation of its body, was also very clear that Xu Changqing was about to leave. The almost empty branches and leaves shook a few times, and compared with before, there was less sound, but more rhythm of meaning, which made Xu Changqing easily understand its meaning.
Xu Changqing dissipated the divine power that was blessed on his body, looked at the big peach tree that had already taken the key step with a little relief, and smiled and said, "Yes, I'm leaving! Just parting here, I'm probably not coming back."
The shaking branches of the big peach tree calmed down, and the atmosphere around it became a little heavy. After a while, the body of the big peach tree, which had only a little shadow, disappeared completely when a wave of light appeared, leaving only some firefly-like shining light spots floating in the air. These light spots did not disappear immediately, but soon gathered around Xu Changqing as if they were driven by some invisible thought, and fell on Xu Changqing, and penetrated into his body bit by bit.
Xu Changqing did not stop these light spots from penetrating, but instead let all the protection on his body allow the light spots to merge into himself. When all the light spots were integrated into Xu Changqing's body, Xu Changqing also had a faint breath of divine power, and this breath of divine power was somewhat like the divine power of a big peach tree, perfectly fusion with the qi and blood power of his mortal body without a trace of repulsion.
At this moment, Xu Changqing felt the farewell gift given to him by this fellow Taoist who is both a teacher and a friend. Although the gift is not very big in terms of strength, it is very practical.
These light spots contain two kinds of innate magical powers of the big peach trees. One is derived from itself. Through this magical power, it can communicate plants within a radius of hundreds of miles, so that they can act as their own ears and ears. Without using any magical power, they can master all movements within a radius of hundreds of miles. The other is derived from a magical power that has been born after becoming the god of Taohua Mountain and gaining recognition from the heaven and earth. This magical power can allow the caster to base himself on the nodes of the earth. Without using any magical power, he can master all the underground situations within the coverage of the veins where the nodes are located.
Although neither of these two magical powers enhance Xu Changqing's power, it is far more useful for Xu Changqing than directly substituting the body of a mortal. In many cases, the world in the secular world has almost absolute suppression and effect on magic power and divine consciousness. When the mana and divine consciousness cannot be used, these two magical powers can help Xu Changqing get the initiative of the enemy and give him more response methods.
"Thank you! Take care!" After merging these two magical powers, Xu Changqing hugged his fists at the location of the disappeared peach tree, and then turned around and walked into the gradually dissipating thick fog, disappearing.
At the moment when Xu Changqing disappeared, the big peach tree that had already disappeared condensed a phantom of the external appearance again, and shook the branches, and some peach petals fell from the tree like tears, dyeing the entire imperial garden the ground pink, and finally disappeared with the phantom of the big peach tree.
Shortly after Xu Changqing left, a team of well-trained soldiers, relying on the Forbidden City staff who were familiar with the terrain, groped into the Imperial Garden while the thick fog had not completely disappeared. The heads changed slightly when they saw the big peach tree in the Imperial Garden disappearing and there was only a pit left. After that, the group of people discovered the patrol and guardians who were unconscious in a yard next to them.
At this time, the fog around could dim enough to see the courtyard wall several meters away. It would not take long for others to come over to check the situation. The leader of the team immediately ordered the altar that was halfway arranged and took it away, clearing all traces, and when evacuating, the Forbidden City staff who led them away were also taken away.
