Chapter 321 Expeditionary Force, set off!

Ji Que swam back towards the ginseng fruit tree. From this angle, he could clearly see the huge old tree, which almost completely covered the sky.

Here, you can hardly even feel the concept of sky, as if this tree controls everything.

After reaching the root of the tree, Ji Que quickly ran up.

Now that he has perfected his Fengshen legs and Lu Youshu, his speed is very fast.

This was a very high altitude for ordinary monks, and it didn't take him long to get up there.

During the process, he felt that the bark was very different from ordinary bark, with a smooth feeling.

When he arrived near the door of the Taoist temple in the tree, Ji Que found that it was indeed wrapped in the bark.

At this point, the bark appears thinner and more severely peeled off. You can see that the entire Taoist temple gate is soaked in the yellowish liquid.

Is this tree trunk full of water like this?

Ji Que did not force his way in, but slid down and found a damaged part of the tree trunk.

The gap was relatively completely damaged, unlike other places where the bark fell off and there was a film covering it. There was a nearly transparent liquid constantly flowing out, and there was also the Qingqi Department mark next to it.

It can be seen that the officials of the Qingqi Department entered from here.

Ji Que didn't hesitate and got in from here.

As soon as he entered, he found himself floating in the tree trunk, spitting out a bubble.

This liquid is very close to water, and its hazy color does not look like it comes from the water body, but more like the effect of the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the water.

It was because of this dim yellow color that Ji Que felt a heavy atmosphere.

The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.

Throughout the ages, the scenery at dusk is very beautiful, but the mood it brings to people is not always beautiful.

Because it often represents the passing of beauty, the passage of time, and the aging of years.

And in the liquid in the tree trunk, this feeling is especially obvious.

And Ji Que soon discovered that people could breathe freely in this liquid, just like fish.

Yes, Ji Que knew very well that he did not use any qi movement method.

It can be said that these hazy liquids are like air and will not cause any trouble to people's breathing at all.

Ji Que went upstream along the trunk. The sap in the trunk was always a dim yellow color, giving people the illusion of being intoxicated in the river of time.

The further upstream you go, the more twigs appear in the trunk.

These twigs are inky black, and even have a metallic shine on their surface, much like extensions of branches, or human bones.

At this time, Ji Que had an idea in his mind and wondered: "If these are bones, then this liquid is blood, then doesn't the whole tree look like a person?"

He passed through these black twigs and finally reached the Taoist temple in the tree trunk.

The door of the Taoist temple is two feet high, and the courtyard wall is also over a foot high. You can't see the end at first glance.

Compared with the Taoist temples outside, this scale is not smaller, which also illustrates the hugeness of this tree.

A whole Taoist temple can fit inside a tree.

The door plaque on the Taoist temple was pitch black. Ji Que floated slightly and leaned over, faintly seeing some gold edges.

He waved his hand, and the "black paint" on the door plaque suddenly dispersed, revealing countless densely packed insects.

After that, he recognized the words on the door plaque - "Wuzhuang Temple".

This is indeed Wuzhuang Temple, the place they have been looking for.

The door of Wuzhuang Temple was ajar. Ji Que walked inside and found that everything here was not much different from the temple outside.

It was originally among the trees, but there was also a huge spruce growing in the courtyard at the entrance.

The entire Taoist temple was immersed in this hazy liquid. When Ji Que walked in it, he felt as if he had stepped into an ancient time.

This dim yellow color can easily remind him of the yellowing memory special effects in movies.

At the same time, that depressing feeling also came over me.

The sky cannot be seen above the head, only the branches growing inside lie horizontally above, like intertwined pythons, cutting the space above the head into pieces.

Here is a front yard. There is a huge alchemy furnace in the front yard. The alchemy furnace is engraved with a lifelike pattern of cranes and auspicious clouds.

Such a pattern is easily reminiscent of Changxu Guan.

In other words, this Wuzhuang Temple is an enlarged Changxu Temple.

Ji Que wanted to know who Tianzun was being worshiped in the main hall of the temple.

As a result, when he approached the threshold of the main hall, he couldn't help but pause.

Because there are several "Taoists" standing under the eaves.

To be precise, they are Taoist statues.

The Taoist's body was extremely thin and had a dull metallic sheen. It looked like it was made of bronze and was very old.

But their faces are extremely round and their eyes are quite clean, making them look like newborn babies.

Ji Que wanted to see what kind of material they were made of, so he couldn't help but stretched out his hand, but at this moment, he only heard a sharp shout of "No!"

I saw a middle-aged man walking out.

He had a goatee and said with a cautious expression: "Where are you from? These things must not be touched."

Ji Que asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Once these ginseng fruits wake up, they will madly seize the vitality of the surrounding creatures."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man pointed to a corner in the room.

There, lying in the shape of mummified bodies, were three Qingqi Department officials.

Ji Que cupped his hand and showed his identity. After hearing his name, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly became much more respectful.

Nowadays, Ji Que is also a famous person.

"These Taoists are ginseng fruits?" Ji Que couldn't help but ask.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "This is what Mr. Jiang said."

Ji Que knew that Mr. Jiang was one of the old perverts of the Qingqi Department, and he was obsessed with studying all kinds of weird things.

The centipede that was inside Old Long's body was the one he took out.

At this time, an old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle walked out, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He was undoubtedly Mr. Jiang.

After seeing Ji Que, the old man's eyes became even brighter, and he sighed: "It would be a pity not to study such a good seedling."

Ji Que always felt that his eyes were squinty, as if he could see through his clothes.

To be honest, if this old man Jiang hadn't always maintained his sense, he would have been killed long ago.

Because he once said kindly that it was very much like studying the emperor's dragon body by cutting it open and studying it.

Not only was the Emperor not angry, he even made a bet with him, saying that if the old man was still alive after his death, he would let him study it.

Ji Que asked: "Mr. Jiang, have you found the way to Tiangong?"

"Found it." Mr. Jiang said excitedly.

"I didn't expect that I would be able to find a place like this before I died."

Ji Que couldn't help but ask: "How to get there?"

Mr. Jiang raised his head, looked at the hazy water above the Taoist temple, and said, "Just go upstream. The Heavenly Palace is naturally in the sky."

"Is there any danger?"

"This place is already a dead place. Where is the danger? Just don't touch these sleeping fruits."

After saying that, the old man looked at his men and said, "Notify Your Majesty that if you want to go on an expedition, you can start."
