Volume 2 Plane Battle, Chapter 279: The Divine Bird
Hou Tu asked suspiciously: But the matter of the "Demon Spring" here has never been leaked! How did the demons know about it?
Yang Zhuochao said: Think about it, who else knows the secret here?
Houtu thought for a while and said: "Only my apprentice Beiyin knows here, oh, yes! and the black and white impermanence is also known. But..... It's not right! In terms of time, the things that black and white impermanence knew were already far later than the time when the demons came to commit crimes.
So in terms of time, it shouldn't be that they leaked the news! But I'm sure the rest of the Beiyin disciples would never do such a thing.
Yang Zhuochao groaned: This ..... Maybe it's not necessarily who leaked the news! Have you ever thought that this "Demon Spring" itself will have a subtle connection with the demon race, and this connection is not perceptible to people outside the demon race?
Houtu thought for a while, nodded lightly and said: After you reminded me like this, there is really such a possibility! Maybe it is really as you said, when I am inadvertent, this demon spring will produce some kind of energy, which will be sensed by people who are demons themselves!
This must be the reason, otherwise I can't think of a better explanation! Who are you? I haven't seen you before! Are you a friend of Beiyin?
Yang Zhuochao coughed dryly and said: This ..... I'm not a friend of the Emperor of Beiyin!Here is a plan that Bai Wuchang Xie Bi'an and I came up with in order to use this "Nine Secluded Land" to trap the "Drought Goddess Girl".
Next, Yang Zhuochao told Houtu the ins and outs of the whole thing one by one, and briefly introduced his identity and the purpose of coming to the Netherworld.
After hearing what he said, Houtu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: It turns out that you are the Feng Chang Proud of the "Immortal Holy Mountain"! I and your father "Feng Xuan" are also old acquaintances, I wonder if he is okay now?
Yang Zhuochao replied: I don't know my father's current situation! There has been no news of him for many years. Immediately afterwards, Yang Zhuochao told him how he was killed, and his father disappeared after he went out to find his whereabouts.
Later, he also mentioned the process of the murder of the great god Fuxi, and his determination to help Fuxi recover his true body.
After listening to Yang Zhuochao's narration, Hou Tu couldn't help but nod and said: Since we can be regarded as old friends, and the people you know and help have a certain relationship with me!
In this way, let's work together to overcome this difficulty in the Netherworld, and I will repay you well in the future!
Yang Zhuochao replied with a smile: "The Great God of Houtu doesn't have to be polite, since I originally came to this Netherworld Mansion to seek souls, it can be regarded as a favor owed to the Great God! No matter what, I will definitely help with this favor." How about two clears?
Hou Tudao: Yes! Young and promising, but not a little arrogant temper. Very good, very good! Then it's decided, although this woman has the power of the sky, but in my eyes it's nothing! You can leave with confidence, help the Netherworld to destroy the enemy of the demons, and leave this woman to me!
Yang Zhuochao bowed and saluted: There is a great god of the soil after labor! Then I will leave, take care of the great god.
Hou Tu smiled at him, and then waved his sleeve, and the female lu obediently followed behind Hou Tu!
Yang Zhuochao's task can be regarded as a successful completion, and he turned around proudly and was about to leave! When he passed by the "Devil's Spring", he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. To say that everyone in the world is curious, Yang Zhuochao is no exception!
At this time, he had a strong curiosity, wanting to see what was so strange about this magic spring that had a sense of the demon race!
Walking to the side of the Demon Spring, feeling the strange feeling brought by the Demon Spring! Yang Zhuochao secretly thought to himself: I don't know what kind of use this Demon Spring is for the Demon Clan! It is worth it for them to come and seize it several times.....
I stroked the edge of the fountain with my hand, and realized that the water was actually hot! To be more precise, the water of the magic spring was hot. Yang Zhuochao scolded secretly, thinking that this Nima was going to boil eggs!
Fortunately, Yang Zhuochao was cultivating the technique of "Burning Heaven Technique", and it couldn't hurt him to the heat source!
Just when Yang Zhuochao found nothing and was about to leave, he suddenly saw that the lotus flower that Xie Bi'an had said before, that the Great God of Houtu had strengthened the muscles and bones of Kuafu's resurrected body was growing on the opposite shore. Suddenly an idea came to me.....
Because Yang Zhuochao suddenly thought: The soul of the great god of Fuxi is basically complete, and the torso of the body can also be replaced by the trunk of the 10,000-year-old "Fusang Divine Tree". If you use this water lily to strengthen it, it should be the icing on the cake!
Thinking of this, Yang Zhuochao actually felt a little excited in his heart! My Nima is too talented, I don't care, let's get it a little bit and go back first! If you use it well, you won't suffer if you can't use it.
Since he thought of it, Yang Zhuochao no longer hesitated! As soon as he took off, he rushed towards the opposite bank. After coming to the other side, Yang Zhuochao realized that this water lily was a bit special! The reason was that this water lily was actually black.....
Yang Zhuochao tried to uproot a black water lily directly, but he couldn't succeed! He tried to break them directly, only to find out later that it was even more .....impossible! This was depressing, how could he get them down and take them away?
When he was distressed, Yang Zhuochao suddenly thought that although this black water lily was extremely tough, the soil under it would not be so strong! So he tried it, and sure enough, the soil below was loose.
Although the soil is much tighter than ordinary soil, it can still be dug after all! Yang Zhuochao took out a sapper shovel from his "Space Nashi Ring" and slowly dug up the surrounding soil!
In the end, it was hard to connect the soil with mud, and a whole black water lily was dug out by the roots. He casually threw the black water lily into the space stone ring, stood up and prepared to leave this "Nine Secluded Land".
But who would have thought that a big red monster bird with only one leg didn't know where to run out.....! Moreover, the red monster bird sprayed at Yang Zhuochao with red flames!
The temperature of this red flame is quite high, if it weren't for Yang Zhuochao, who had practiced the exercises of the "Burning Heaven Technique", he would probably be lying there now! Otherwise, he would have been burned to ashes.....
Yang Zhuochao hurriedly flashed to the side and said to the big strange bird: Are you crazy this strange bird! I didn't offend you, why did you come to burn me?
The big red monster bird with only one leg didn't pay attention to Yang Zhuochao's scolding at all. It's just a screaming at him, do you want to come at him!
Yang Zhuochao couldn't cry or laugh, but fortunately, he relied on the speed of "Thousands of Miles Chasing the Sun Boots", and he was not afraid of being sprayed by the strange bird. But it can't be endless!
After dozens of rendezvous, Yang Zhuochao seemed to understand why this strange bird would not let go of himself! He estimated that most of it had something to do with the black lotus he had dug up. But I can't just admit it! Leave it alone, I'll get rid of you. I'm sorry, big monster bird!
Just do it, Yang Zhuochao's mind moved slightly, and he immediately activated the "Thousand Miles of Sun Chasing Boots" under his feet, and ran away without a trace as soon as he slipped through the smoke! Only the big red monster bird with only one leg was left standing in place in a daze at a loss.
Because of Xie Bi'an's secret information in advance, Yang Zhuochao easily walked out of the "Nine Secluded Land"! There were almost no obstacles along the way, and he came to the outside of the city of vain death in the blink of an eye.
At this time, it seems that both sides have already withdrawn their troops! I don't know how the other half of the plan is being implemented.
Yang Zhuochao entered the city and found everyone, and only after asking did he know the progress of the matter! It turned out that after Yang Zhuochao lured the female lu away, the demon army began to be a little chaotic! The reason is that their boss ~ Demon King Yeqing was not lightly injured.
Yeqing had already ordered people to beat the drum and retreat, and all of a sudden the demon army retreated for about fifty miles! Although on the way, Ge Lao led the people to ambush and chase down several Longbo giants, and seriously injured the nine-headed monster "Nine Infants"! But the results were not as good as expected.....
However, fortunately, Yang Zhuochao successfully completed the task, so that the pressure on the entire battlefield was not particularly great!
Everyone asked Yang Zhuochao about the details of the whole thing on his side, and they realized that so many things had happened in one day.
After listening to Yang Zhuochao's narration, Ge Lao frowned and said: The red monster bird with only one leg described by the young master should be the ancient divine bird "Bi Fang"! It's just that this kind of divine beast has been around for thousands of years and hasn't appeared anywhere!
Unexpectedly, there is still a living body of this kind of sacred bird in the "Nine Secluded Land". It's really weird!
Yang Zhuochao asked: Bi Fangniao, this name seems to have been heard! It's just that I've never seen it, so I can't connect with it for a while!
At this time, Xie Bi'an interjected and said: It is indeed the same as Venerable Qilin said, this kind of divine bird only exists in the myths and legends of the ancient period.....! But I do know a folklore that I can share with you!
According to legend, there was a village at the foot of Wanyu Mountain in ancient times, and there was a woodcutter surnamed Qin in the village, who was more than half a hundred years old and was called Qin Laohan.
It is said that on this day, Qin Laohan went up the mountain to cut firewood, because it had just rained a few days ago, the forest in the mountain was damp, and there was very little dry firewood.
Qin Laohan panicked, there are many poisonous insects and beasts in this mountain, if they are trapped in the mountain, how can they still have their lives at night! Hurriedly looking for a way out, but at this time the sky is gloomy, and there is no daylight to see, and there is no way to distinguish the direction!
Qin Laohan had to rely on his own feelings to go back, walked for about half an hour, but saw that the surrounding forests were becoming more and more dense, and there was a towering ancient mulberry tree in front of him to cover the road.
Qin Laohan saw that there was no road ahead, he knew that he was taking the wrong path, he sighed, annoyed, walked for so long, tired knees were weak, so he went to the mulberry tree to rest, after a while, he found that something dripped on his head, touched it with his hand, and felt very sticky and slippery.
Unconsciously looked up, and was suddenly shocked, only to see that there was a colorful python on the mulberry tree, and what surprised Qin Laohan even more was that the giant python actually had two snake heads, constantly cross-swallowing snake letters, hissing, and the mucus was dripping from the python's mouth.
The python was wrapped around a branch and stared fiercely at a nest in front of it, in which several brightly colored chicks poked their heads out, flapping their wings and seemed to be terrified.
The python swam along the nest, coiled up to surround the nest, the nestlings in the nest kept screaming, shaking their wings, trying to use the immature beak to drive away the python, but it was tantamount to hitting the stone with an egg, and the two-headed python picked up one, and raised its head to swallow the two chicks!
At this time, there was only one nestling left in the nest, the python stared at it, shook its body and bit it again, the nestling was forced out of the nest, fell from the tree, and landed next to Qin Laohan.
Qin Laohan was very merciful to the chicks, and when he saw that although the two-headed python was terrifying, it was slow, so he hurriedly picked up the chicks and left quickly.
When he came to a safe place, Qin Lao Hanfang dared to take a closer look at the fledgling in his palm, and saw that its body was covered with blue and red feathers, red tail and white beak, and it looked very gorgeous, but the strange thing was that this bird only had one leg, and it was one-legged, which was very strange.
Nervous before, Qin Laohan didn't notice it, but now he found that the chick was caught in his hand, it was very hot, he stroked its feathers with his hand, it felt hot and scorching, and it was surprising, I don't know what kind of strange bird this is, but the bird didn't feel anything abnormal, staring at Qin Laohan with a pair of small eyes, and chirping softly.
At this time, the sky was bright and sunny, Qin Laohan walked out of the mountains according to the direction of the sun, returned to the village, and after returning home, Qin Laohan made a nest for the chicks, put some rice grains in it, but the chicks didn't look at it, just followed Qin Laohan and chirped non-stop.
Qin Laohan said in his heart, this bird can't eat insects? So he found a few green insects and put them in front of its mouth, and the bird twisted its head to the side as if disgusted.
The angry Qin Laohan no longer pays attention to the birds, and says in his heart that when you are hungry, you will naturally eat. After a while, the bird was not hungry, but Qin Laohan was hungry, so he went to the stove room to make a fire to cook, but the bird refused to stay in the nest honestly, and followed Qin Laohan to the stove room.
Seeing the fire under the stove, he rushed up lifelessly, Qin Laohan was afraid that the bird would be injured by the fire, so he drove it aside, but he didn't expect the bird to take a hole, and took advantage of Qin Laohan's unpreparedness, and secretly ran over again, flashing his little wings and going straight to the bottom of the stove.
Qin Laohan hurriedly intercepted, but it was too late, seeing that the bird entered the bottom of the stove and did not enter the fire, but at this time a strange thing happened, the fire at the bottom of the stove gradually went out, Qin Laohan was surprised, and hurriedly fished out the bird with a burning stick.
I saw that the bird's body was covered with charcoal ash, black as a charcoal ball, it shook the ashes on its body, and it was unscathed, fluttering its wings around Qin Laohan, looking very cheerful.
Qin Laohan was dumbfounded, and said in his heart that this bird was not afraid of fire, it was really a rare thing, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and lit a fire again, and the bird really came up again, stood at the stove and sucked it gently, and then sucked the flame in the stove into his mouth, not feeling hot at all, but very happy.
As he expected, this bird turned out to be a strange bird that fed on fire. "Qin Laohan said in his heart that there are really no strange things in the world.
Since then, Qin Laohan has lit a pile of firewood every day to feed the birds, and after the birds are full, they will fly to Qin Laohan's shoulders and chirp, one person and one bird, and they get along very well.
After half a year, the bird has grown up a lot, and the colors on its body have become more and more gorgeous, like a phoenix, and its cry is like a heavenly sound. What is amazing is that as soon as it gets angry, it will spew flames from its mouth, unlike ordinary fire, which is scorching and long-lasting!
Therefore, he was named Huo'er by Qin Laohan, and Qin Laohan often took Huo'er into the mountains to hunt, and jackals and beasts were not afraid.
However, it was said that on this day, Qin Laohan took Huo'er to the mountains to hunt, and as soon as a man and a bird came to the mountains, he saw dark clouds in the sky, lightning and thunder, and Qin Laohan was surprised, when he came, the sun was still shining, how could it rain in a blink of an eye! Hurriedly find a big tree to shelter from the rain.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no rain dropping, but I saw that the dark clouds in the sky condensed, and became thicker and thicker, and there were chains of lightning in the clouds, and there was a loud noise, and the thunder was loud, and the sound was deafening, and it was very terrifying, and it was not like the scene of ordinary rain.
After a while, Qin Laohan faintly saw something rising into the air in the depths of the mountain forest, meandering towards the air, and hurriedly took Huo'er to take a closer look, and was suddenly stunned, it was the two-headed python that almost ate Huo'er half a year ago.
Qin Laohan had heard the rumor that the snake would cross the dragon after a thousand years of life, but he never thought that he would see it with his own eyes today, and he was very shocked. He stared at the snake in a daze, and did not dare to act rashly.
However, at this time, the fire beside him showed a hateful gaze, soared into the air, shook his wings and flew straight towards the python in the air, and then hovered beside the python, opened his mouth and sprayed a flame.
However, there was a strong wind surging beside the python, and the flames were blown away by the wind before they arrived, and the python found the fire, and with a fierce light in his eyes, he swung his tail and whipped at the fire.
Huo'er couldn't dodge, was hit by a python, fell down from the air fiercely, smashed a hole on the ground, and it took a long time to stand up, flapping his wings with difficulty, but he couldn't fly, which shows that Huo'er was seriously injured.
Qin Laohan was worried when he saw this, but he didn't know how to help Huo'er, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and when he was anxious, he suddenly seemed to remember something, stacked the dry branches nearby, and lit them with the fire fold he carried with him.
Soon a raging fire ignited, and the fire ignited several dead trees nearby, and the fire was raging in an instant.
Qin Laohan put the fire into the fire, the fire was scorching, Qin Laohan retreated to the side, the smoke was swirling, he couldn't see the scene in the fire clearly, and seeing that the fire didn't come out for a long time, Qin Laohan was very worried in his heart!
