Chapter 648: Sacrifice to the Heavens

But at present, Qihu Lun Xun dismissed all the nobles in the city, Yuanliang, the soldiers, and the generals of Li Min, on the grounds that the Tianyan Cave was about to erupt, and those who stayed in the city to participate in the prayer ceremony must be his cronies.

Even if Nangong Yi and the others arrived with the Zixiao Heavenly Flame Bottle before the outbreak of the Heavenly Flame Cave, no one did notarization for them, they just threw themselves into the net. This trick can be described as extremely vicious, completely cutting off the back road of Nangong Yi and the others.

Nangong Yi said slowly: "He knew that we must find ways to rescue Xin'er, so he deliberately used Xin'er as bait. Lord Qi and the Leaving Spirit have been imprisoned, and with the strength of the three of us alone, it is really difficult to open the Zixiao Fire Tower and rescue Xin'er at the same time in such a tight time!"

Qu Fengyang was anxious and angry, it was a matter of Xin'er's safety, and his mind was in chaos, and he suddenly remembered something and said: "Yes! Since the Heavenly Flame Cave has been silent for more than 800 years, how can the old thief detonate it?"

"If you mix your own Azure Fire Essence with other Heavenly Flame Empire Sacred Weapons and throw them into the Flame Cave, and then use the Heavenly Flame Spell and True Qi of the True Spirit Rank Master to intensify it, you can detonate a huge amount of energy inside the Flame Cave, causing the lava to explode wildly. ”

Qi Shiyu's green eyes stared at Qu Fengyang and the two, her pale face was as transparent as ice and snow, and she said in a low voice, "This must be the true purpose of tonight's heavenly prayer ceremony." ”

The three of them felt cold in their hearts, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and the wind blew, invading the cold all over their bodies. Rao is as calm as Nangong Yi, arrogant as the wind, and at this moment he is also afraid and dazed, and he is at a loss.

At this moment, Yanhong City must have been heavily guarded. Can the three of them turn things around in just a few hours, rescue Xin'er, Tianyan Tianzun, Yan Xin, and Qifeng, and stop the outbreak of Tianyan Cave?

Nangong Yi gathered his mind and tried his best to get rid of the smile of Xin'er and the laughter of silver bells in his mind, and kept shouting to himself in his heart: "Calm down!

But Xin'er's smiling face and voice were so vivid that they came into his mind again and again, making him almost uncontrollably roaring, and it took a while before he gradually calmed down. Close your eyes in contemplation, and a habitual smile appears at the corner of your mouth.

Qu Fengyang's whole body was on fire, his heart was restless and furious, and he wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth wide. I felt as if something was blocked in my chest, and I was extremely depressed, and I couldn't wait to reach out and pull out all my heart and lungs. Seeing that Nangong Yi was gradually calming down, smiling and contemplating, his manic state of mind began to gradually stabilize.

The three of them had different looks, full of thoughts, and the bird flew.

Nangong Yi pondered for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Since they use Xin'er as a sacrifice, most of them will tie the Azure Fire Spirit to Xin'er, and use her as the fuse to detonate the Heavenly Flame Cave. Therefore, if we want to stop the outbreak of the Heavenly Flame Cave, we must first disrupt the Heavenly Prayer Ceremony and rescue Xin'er. ”

Qi Shiyu said lightly: "What about Tianyan Tianzun?"

Nangong Yi said: "If the flame cave does not break out, the Zixiao Fire Initiation Tower will naturally be safe and sound. Therefore, destroying the sacrificial rituals and rescuing Xin'er is the key. ”

Qu Fengyang blurted out: "That's right! As long as the flame cave is stopped, the conspiracy of the old thief will not succeed!"

Qi Shiyu hesitated for a long time and nodded slowly. Nangong Yi saw that she had no objection, her spirit was shocked, and she said, "But before we can save Xin'er, we must bluff and rescue Tianyan Tianzun." What Qi Hu Lun Xun is most afraid of is that we release the Heavenly Flame Heavenly Venerable.

As long as there is a disturbance near the Zixiao Fire Tower, he will definitely mobilize a large number of masters to protect it, then the defensive force of the Prayer Heaven Festival will naturally be relatively weakened, and it will naturally be easier for us to rescue Xin'er. ”

Qi Shiyu frowned and said: "But with the strength of the three of us, we want to harass the Zixiao Fire Tower, attack the east and west, and rescue the Xin'er girl, but I am afraid that it will be a moth to the fire." ”

Qu Feng raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but he heard Nangong Yi smile and say: "Yes, with the three of us alone, it is indeed a little difficult, so we must rescue Lifa Ling and Qi Jue Ye first! The five of us join forces, and if we want to stop the old thief, we have a fifty percent chance of winning." Moreover, now that the old thieves are busy defending the Zixiao Fire Tower and the Heavenly Prayer Festival, the protection for them must be the smallest. ”

Qu Fengyang, Qi Shiyu's heart perked, Qi Shiyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "Yes! There is another person ......."

Nangong Yi blurted out: "Flame Spirit Girl!"

Flame Xing said slowly: "Yes, my master Flame Spirit Girl!"

The Flame Spirit Maiden is the Divine Concubine of the Heavenly Flame Empire. Shinki is in charge of the ceremonies of praying to the heavens in the country. Qihu Lun Xun used the imminent outbreak of the Heavenly Flame Cave as an excuse to disperse the nobles' soldiers and civilians, but he alone could not invite the gods away. Even if tonight's prayer ceremony was presided over by the new Leaving Dharma Spirit Yan Ceremony, there would be few Flame Spirit Maidens present.

The Flame Spirit Maiden is known for her elegance and stability, fairness and kindness, and she is also the mentor of Qi Shiyu. If Qi Shiyu can tell the truth of the matter and persuade her to help, the chances of victory will increase immediately.

The hearts of the three of them were excited, and when they saw that the sun was setting in the west, there was not much time, and they all roared and urged the thunder and lightning. With the roar of thunder and lightning, he flapped his wings and flew towards Yanhong City, which was more than three hundred miles away.

When approaching Yanhong City, in order to avoid being noticed, the three of them flew along the low altitude of the mountain with thunder and lightning. The shadows of the trees swept across the face, the stone cliffs fluttered, and through several high mountains, I finally saw Yanhong City, the holy city of the Heavenly Flame Empire.

Through the purple and red green wood flower branches, looking from afar, the peaks and peaks are undulating, and the green trees are like the sea. Among the mountains, a tall verdant peak stands majestically. The top of the mountain is full of ancient trees and clouds, white snow and black smoke. The red trees and red flowers in the middle of the mountain, gorgeous as the sun, the wind blows and swaying, and it dances like a flame, and it is a wonderful man, which is the peak of the Tianyan Empire.

Outside the Sky Flame Cave, the city walls are steep, and the dark red brick walls are particularly dazzling under the cover of green wood. From afar, it looks like a fiery dragon winding between the mountains. Yanhong City is positive and wide, built around the mountain, the momentum is majestic, and it is ten times larger than Banchun City.

At that time, Yuan Yang had the proverb of "to the danger of the god hiding the mountain, to the deep sea temple, to the rich Pufeng City, to the Xiongyan Rainbow City", because the Yanhong City leaned on the surrounding mountains and built, majestic and high, neutral Tianyan Cave, and added the majestic and domineering atmosphere.

The wall tiles of Yanhong City are all taken from the cooled rock flow and molten rain of the Sky Flame Cave, and after being painted with the special "Beacon Smoke Lead" of the Sky Flame Empire, only a fire is needed, and the entire wall of Yanhong City suddenly becomes a sea of fire, and the rock itself will never be corroded.

If an enemy army wants to attack the city, there is nothing to be done in the face of this raging wall. Therefore, Yanhong City is known as the seventh city among the "seventy-two famous cities of Yuanyang".

At this time, the sunset is about to stop, and it is close to dusk. The sunset is like blood, the sky is like the sea, and against each other, this Tianyan Cave is even more indescribably majestic and magnificent.

Nangong Yi rode the thunderbolt and flew slowly around Yanhong City, looking for a hidden path into the city. Qi Shiyu pointed to the distance with his hand and whispered about the main buildings in the city and their defenses.

There were few soldiers on the city walls, and in addition to most of the soldiers and generals who had evacuated, Qihu Lun Xun had already transferred the trusted elite Feather Forest Guards to the top of the mountain and the Zixiao Fire Tower. The entire Holy City of the Heavenly Flame Empire has almost become an empty city.

Qi Shiyu pointed to a red gold pagoda on the mountainside north of the Heavenly Flame Cave and said, "That is the Zixiao Flame Initiating Pagoda where the Heavenly Flame Heavenly Venerable retreats and cultivates. ”

Nangong Yi and the song are awe-inspiring, concentrating and looking at it. The red golden pagoda stands in the bright red fire tree golden flower, about 15 zhang high, a total of nine levels. The style is simple and solemn, exquisitely clear, red as ice blood, all made of blood drinking stone masonry.

Eight cornices at the top of the tower bend upward, and the tower brake is like a shuttle, just like a snow lotus blooming. Under the sun, the pedestal, the covered bowl, the treasure box, the phase wheel are vivid, the body of the red gold pagoda reflects the surrounding fire clouds and flame-like flowers and trees, and the golden light flows away, such as the heavenly realm of the great male treasure hall.

At this time, the sword of the mountain wall under the tower was dazzling, and hundreds of fiercely armed feather forest guards stood in the bushes. More than a dozen two-headed monster birds circled and flew above the Chijin Pagoda, and the sharp cries clearly reached their ears.

Qu Fengyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Put the Zixiao Heavenly Flame Bottle on that tower, can you open this tower?"

Qi Shiyu shook his head and said, "Opening this Zixiao Fire Tower requires a special technique. Except for Venerable, Ji, and Ling, I am the only one in the kingdom who knows this method. After a pause, he said, "It's just that I've never tried." ”

Nangong Yi looked up at the top of the Heavenly Flame Cave, and silently calculated the distance between the Zixiao Fire Tower and the top of the mountain in his heart.

After flying around Yanhong City for several laps, Nangong Yi and Qu Fengyang had already kept in mind the architectural layout and orientation of Yanhong City. The three of them searched for a rather secluded city wall with few guards in the Feather Forest, and prepared to enter it at night.

The sun is thin, the sky is full of colorful clouds, and bats are flying in the air.

Seeing the night coming little by little, and the evening breeze gradually melting, Nangong Yi and Qu Fengyang's hearts became more and more hot.

In the azure sky, faint stars have appeared, and the white snow on the top of the Sky Flame Cave reflects a cold light in the starlight. A line of red light jumped along the mountainside, slowly winding around the mountaintop, and the sound of drums was intermittent, desolate and eerie.

Qi Shiyu said: "Wu Lao and Wu Qi have begun to go up the mountain. ”

Nangong Yi and Qu Fengyang's hearts tightened, and Qu Fengyang said in a dumb voice: "Xin'er...... Is Xin'er in there too?"

Seeing him so nervous, Qi Shiyu was slightly jealous and angry in his heart, and said lightly: "Usually, three days before praying to heaven and earth, I have bathed and changed my clothes, burned incense into the coffin, and put it at the entrance of the Heavenly Flame Cave. ”

Qu Fengyang was furious and shouted, "What? Isn't she not eating or drinking for three days?"

Qi Shiyu said indifferently: "In order to ensure that the prayer is clean, naturally you can't eat." But don't worry, she was already in a coma by the holy medicine three days ago, and she will be fine if she doesn't eat or drink. ”

Qu Fengyang heard her say so lightly, and his tone was indifferent, and he was even more annoyed. Thinking that Xin'er had been in a coma for three days, the anxiety in his heart was even greater, and he couldn't wait to immediately fly to the top of the Sky Flame Cave with thunder and lightning to save Xin'er from danger.

Nangong Yi's heart also hurt like a knife, Xin'er has always been pampered, and after arriving at this Yuanyang, she was prepared for hardships, and originally thought that after restoring the Zixiao Sky Flame Bottle, she could easily be rescued, but unexpectedly, she was put in danger. I don't know how to be tortured by the fire demon these days? I didn't dare to think about it, gritted my teeth and clenched my fists, looked up at the top of the mountain, and secretly said to myself: "Good girl, we will definitely rescue you tonight!"

The insects are singing, the fireflies are flying, and Yanhong City has been completely shrouded in the night. The candlelight on the top of the Sky Flame Cave was bright, and where the blood flames were piled up on the top of the mountain, countless colored lights shot up into the sky, and the pillars of light crisscrossed in the deep blue sky. The drums are loud and faintly audible.

Nangong Yi Huoran got up and said, "Let's go!" The three of them turned over and rode on the thunderbolt, passing through the rapidly swaying flowers and plants, and the slanting and messy green trees, and quietly flew towards the Yanhong City.

At this time, the bright moon has just risen, and the eastern sky is clear, sprinkled through the treetops, mottled and trivial.

Chapter 2: The Heart Is Like a Rock

The moon rises in the east, and the clear light shines. Six thunderbolts undulated against the top of the mountain, flying low in the shadows of the trees, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the bottom of the Yanhong City Wall, and suddenly spread their wings and slid over the edge of the wall, ghostly through the city.

Nangong Yi and the three of them jumped off the bird's back lightly, and Qu Fengyang shook the thunder and lightning into the dragon slaying knife, and with Qi Shiyu's high and low sweep, the lightning shuttled between the streets and alleys of the houses, and flew towards the "phaseless small building" of the flame spirit girl in the west of the city.

The huge Yanhong City is empty, the long streets are deserted, and the empty alleys are quiet. The attics on both sides are staggered, the night breeze blows the windows, the firewood swayes, and the silence is like a nightmare. The jade toad shines on the tile roof and the alley wall, cold as frost, and the shadows of the three people pass through suddenly.

Qi Shiyu knows Yanhong City well, and she does it without pause. In a blink of an eye, it has arrived outside the "small building without phase" in the east of the city.

"Wuxiang Xiaozhu" is located on a green hill in the east of the city. The green trees in the valley are dense, the flowers and plants are colorful, and the mountains and streams are meandering. On the top of the green hill, the wind and trees are in full swing, and they are full of pieces, as if the clouds and clouds inhabit the mountain, so it is named. In the staggered height of the wind forest wood, two dark red Wenxin wood attics stand gracefully, and the eaves flow tiles, as if the flames are jumping. The evening breeze blows on the face, bringing a burst of fragrance.

Nangong Yi and the three of them teleported directly from the street and alley walls, obliquely penetrating into the shadows on the east side of the hill. After a few vertical leaps, it has reached the "phaseless small building".

The red wall in the pavilion is undulating, the green wood is shining, the coral is standing upright, and the stone path is winding, which is quite deep and elegant.

A gust of night wind blew, flowers and trees fluttered, fireflies flew, and the candlelight of the Xinmu Palace suddenly lit up, and a melodious music sounded all around. The murderous aura was cold, the thorns were on the back, and the cold hairs around the three of them stood up suddenly!

The hearts of the three of them sank suddenly! Could it be that the Flame Spirit Maiden was also Qi Hu Lunxun's comrade? In an instant, their hearts sank to the bottom of the abyss.

Suddenly, there was a haha of wild laughter around her, and one of the women laughed out of character, the laughter was bewitching and lewd, and the coquettishness was to the bone.

Qi Shiyu said lightly: "What kind of demon girl and monster dare to break into the Pure Land?"

Then another woman sighed, "How dare you bring this foreign thief here, knowing that there is no such thing?"

Qi Shiyu's face changed, and she bowed her head and said respectfully, "Master!"

Nangong Yi and Qu Fengyang felt a pang in their hearts: "Is this the Heavenly Flame Empire's Divine Ji Flame Spirit Girl?"
