An extremely vast and distant meaning seemed to come from the high platform in front of her at this moment, making Gu Yan's heart feel as if she had received a heavy blow, her hand couldn't help but let go, the Mirage Demon King seemed to have found a gap, a golden glow flashed, and it had rushed towards the high platform quickly.

Behind Gu Yan, at this time, countless flames were pouring towards the front, and the gap that was rushed in front of her had begun to become smaller and smaller, Gu Yan was still standing in place at this time, her heart seemed to be greatly shaken, the picture she saw in front of her, this incomparably vast starry sky, the stars in the sky, seemed to pull together the two unrelated scenes that she had seen before.

The countless stars in front of her were not clearly the star map she saw that day under the jade couch of Yunchi Sword Venerable?

Although Mo Li had flatly denied that he had seen this star map at that time, Gu Yan knew that this old sword venerable who was in the dust of the game must know something, but he never announced it.

And under this star, the proud and ancient, standing up this phoenix platform seems to be in line with the sword intent they saw when they crossed the white sand beach.

The Hidden Sword Patriarch, the thousand sword intent left behind in the white sand beach seems to be hidden in this picture, the two are strange and perfectly fused together, making Gu Yan's sea of knowledge feel like a heavy blow, at this moment, she seems to have comprehended something, but she can't grasp the direction at a loss.

At this time, Ning Fengzi's scream had already sounded quickly: "Why don't you rush out quickly and wait to be buried here?" ”

In one sentence, Gu Yan was pulled out of that mysterious and mysterious realm. As soon as she was conscious, she realized that the gap in front of her had become only a foot square, and countless flames were still rushing towards the front. Without thinking, she rushed forward quickly, five fire spirits circling around her. Extinguish all the flames that stand in your way, and lift yourself in.

At the moment when she jumped into the starry sky in front of her, Gu Yan seemed to see that there were twelve lights, flickering slightly in the distance, and she hadn't had time to react. The hole behind him had been closed, blocking the infinite flames and the vast pool of fire behind him.

And in front of her eyes, at this time, countless stars. All of them disappeared, only the blue sky was the backdrop, and this quaint and lonely phoenix platform stood in front of her eyes.

As Gu Yan rushed into the Phoenix Terrace, the star map in front of Shen Mengli and the others also disappeared at the same time. And everyone remembered the scene they had just seen, but they didn't even remember what the star map looked like.

Qin Mingyue suddenly seemed to think of something, and said, "Brother Shen, let's go first!" With that, she flew forward. Shen Mengli was stunned. He also followed her footsteps and flew forward, and his distant voice was still heard in the distance: "Everyone is still moving forward in three ways, according to the previous strategy, I am afraid that the fire pool in front of me will change." Be careful, everyone! ”

Shen Mengli quickly caught up with Qin Mingyue and whispered, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Mingyue's face was also a little surprised at this time, "I don't know either." But the star map that appeared just now is clearly the celestial star sign in the sword washing pond that my master once mentioned. This is a vision that only appears when the Phoenix Terrace is opened, and it is clear that the woman has entered the Phoenix Terrace! ”

Shen Mengli said: "Didn't you say that there are twelve flag gates, why don't you see it?" ”

Qin Mingyue quickly turned around, and saw that she was far away from the people behind her, and with a flick of her wrist, twelve spiritual lights flew out from her fingertips and disappeared into the vast void in front of her. She said: "Phoenix Terrace is the most mysterious place among the five secret places, legend has it that it has an uncertain residence, its own space, floating in the sword washing pool, it is difficult to find its trace, even if there is no one of my twelve flags to trap her, it is difficult to get out." ”

A chill appeared on her face, "And legend has it that on the Phoenix Terrace, there is a thousand sword intent left by the Hidden Sword Patriarch, which is the foundation of the entire Sword Washing Pond and Tiger Hill, and it cannot be shaken by outsiders." Therefore, even if it is the body of the Sword Venerable, it will not be lightly entered. This time, let her ask for more blessings! Her fingers swiped quickly in the air, and the twelve rays of light flew up one by one, drawing a trajectory in the air, as if there was a big net, covering all the retreats in front of her. Qin Mingyue suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Have you seen it, that's Phoenix Terrace!" ”

They rushed forward quickly at this moment, because the flames pouring out of the fire pool pointed out the direction, so the speed was extremely fast, and in just a moment, they had already rushed forward for a hundred miles, and this most mysterious secret place in the sword washing pool was finally caught by them.

Twelve flags rose to the sky and quickly sank into the ground. In front of their eyes, a huge, majestic, and unstoppable high platform appeared. Layer upon layer, I can't see how many floors are high, it seems that the whole body is shining with bronze brilliance, and what is even more strange is that this high platform, which seems to be in front of their eyes, seems to be ethereal as in the sky, obviously within reach, but can not touch the slightest trace.

At this moment, even Shen Mengli couldn't help but be impressed, he had once entered the innate secret place of the Danding Sect, the place called the Wanfa Copper Furnace, which seemed to be indistinguishable from the Sword Washing Pool, but compared to this ethereal and lonely mysterious feeling, it still seemed to be inferior.

Qin Mingyue was frowning tightly at this time, no one behind her could identify the direction, and at this time, there were only two of them. She played the magic trick with both hands quickly, and the flag gates disappeared from the ground from time to time, and after a while, she let out a sigh of relief and said: "The surrounding roads have all been sealed by me, if you want to open it rashly, it will shake the foundation of the Phoenix Terrace, and let the thousand heavy swords inside accidentally fall, this is something that no disciple can afford, Gu Yan, just stay in it obediently!" ”

Shen Mengli breathed a sigh of relief, and he suddenly said, "Senior Sister Qin, it seems that there is no grudge between you and Gu Yan, why do you want to help me as much as you can." Moreover, you know all the secrets in this sword washing pool, could it be that Guru Padmasambhava told you everything? As an outsider, no matter what, he would not be better than the disciple of the Tibetan Sword Villa. Do you know more about the secrets of this sword washing pool? ”

Qin Mingyue's face changed, and she said lightly: "Brother Shen, everyone is a smart person, you should know." There are things to ask and some things not to ask. The secrets in the sword washing pool are not all from my master. But I don't seem to need to tell you about these things. You have to remember that between us, it's just a partnership. I'm not as naïve as my sister and will tell you everything! ”

Shen Mengli smiled and said, "This is very good, in fact, Master Padmasambhava only favors Senior Sister Sheng, but ignores you, the disciple in front of him. There may not be any regrets about missing pearls. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled faintly and didn't say anything, "It's really illusory, but it's not so accurate." ”

After she finished saying this, a sword light flew behind her. Led by Su Man Arrow, everyone fell here one after another, Su Man Arrow raised his head and said in surprise: "Phoenix Terrace!" ”

Qin Mingyue returned to her original shy and quiet appearance before everyone else, and said softly: "Man Jian, what kind of place is this?" ”

Su Manjian's brows furrowed tightly, "Phoenix Terrace is the most mysterious place in the Sword Washing Pool, and it is said that this is the true place of the Hidden Sword Patriarch's enlightenment. The Tibetan Sword Patriarch once comprehended a thousand sword intent on it, which was the foundation of the entire Sword Washing Pool and Tiger Hill. It's just that although Phoenix Terrace is a secret place in the sword washing pool, it is not in the sword washing pool space, independent of heaven and earth, and countless disciples have entered the sword washing pool for thousands of years. Those who can see the true face of Phoenix Terrace can probably be counted on two hands. ”

Shen Mengli smiled: "Then aren't we very lucky?" ”

Fang Shuo said angrily: "What do you mean, did Xiao Gu enter the Phoenix Terrace?" ”

Su Manjian shook his head, "I don't know, the Phoenix Terrace is too mysterious, it is in space, it comes and goes, no one can touch its traces, maybe this moment is still in front of our eyes, the next moment will be outside another space, so that we will not be able to touch its traces in our lives." ”

Fang Shuo shouted, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's hurry up! ”

Su Manjian spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "The phoenix ** stands outside the heaven and earth, what we see now may not be the phoenix platform in front of us, but the image projected in which space I don't know, how do you go up?" ”

Fang Shuo said angrily: "So, is there no way? ”

Su Manjian said: "The only way to do this is to wait, waiting for the moment when the Phoenix Terrace appears." She groaned and said, "Phoenix Terrace must be here for no reason. Maybe it's the change in the fire pool, which touched it, or something else, but I think Sister Gu, she must have gone to the Phoenix Terrace, now the fire pool is scattered, the fire element power in the center of the earth is out of control, and the spiritual veins in the sword pool are redistributed, slowly returning to the original point, and a new fire pool is restarted. And the core of the sword washing pool lies in this phoenix platform. ”

Jiang Yaojia said a little impatiently at this time: "Let go of Gu Yan for the time being, how can we get out?" ”

At this time, Qin Mingyue suddenly said: "I once heard the family teacher mention that the Phoenix Terrace is the foundation of the entire Sword Washing Pool, and finding the Phoenix Terrace is equivalent to finding the hub of the Sword Washing Pool, we must have a way to get out, right?" ”

Su Manjian nodded, "Not bad." The phoenix** stands outside the space of the Sword Washing Pool, and its appearance will make the entire Sword Washing Pool change, even the location of the Ten Thousand Caves will change, and the spiritual veins will be redistributed, among them, there will be a safe passage for us to go out. Only, we need to wait. ”

Shen Mengli nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, we will wait patiently here, speaking of which, being able to see the appearance of Phoenix Terrace is probably an opportunity that even our elders may not be able to, if you don't cherish it, it will be in vain." ”

He sat down, closed his eyes slightly, and everyone sat down to breathe. In the sword washing pool, although it has only been a few days, the changes that have been experienced are really thrilling and difficult to describe.

And Gu Yan, who had just escaped from the fire pool, seemed to be in greater trouble at this time.

She rushed out of the fire pool and fell under the phoenix platform, and the passage behind her was closed, blocking all the flames in the sky, and all the stars above her were gone, and in front of her, there was only this high platform, which seemed to stand here unchanged for eternity.

There are steps on all sides of this high platform, and the direction where Gu Yan is located seems to be the front of the Phoenix Terrace, and in front of her, layers of golden steps keep extending up. The top seemed to be high enough to go straight into the sky, Gu Yan didn't rush to go up, but instead took a few steps back and carefully looked at the high platform in front of her.

What amazed her. The platform does not appear to be cast in stone, but is made entirely of a metal similar to brass. It glows with a pale golden sheen, and under the faint starlight, the figure can almost be clearly illuminated above.

Around the high platform, there are countless patterns carved together, like murals, but they are a little hazy and unreal. Gu Yan looked at it. I only feel that the heavens, the earth, the stars, the mountains, the rivers and the beasts, all of them are here, as if this high platform can envelop the thousands of shijie.

The highest point in the entire Phoenix Terrace. There was an extremely large sculpture, which made Gu Yan suddenly surprised.

The sculpture is a golden giant bird, with golden feathers all over its body, spreading its wings, a pair of eyes slightly squinting into the distance, looking at the world, an unbeatable style. Isn't this the golden giant bird that Gu Yan saw under the hall of the Arctic Ice Plain when he built the foundation back then?

It was the third time she had seen the statue. In addition to the time in the Arctic Ice Field, under the underground palace of Meridian Valley, that extremely mysterious place, she had also seen once. She always vaguely felt that the significance of this statue seemed unusual. There may be some ancient mystery hidden in it.

The Arctic Ice Field, the Meridian Valley, and the Sword Washing Pond, these three places that don't seem to be related, but they all have the existence of this statue, Gu Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and she asked, "Fengzi, do you have any impression when you look at that statue?" ”

Ning Fengzi had already jumped out of the chaotic space curiously at this time, she didn't bring a face mirror, she jumped around on the ground by herself, and said: "It's much more comfortable here than outside, it seems that the aura is not so strong, but it just makes people feel so comfortable." ”

Gu Yan's heart moved, and he said, "Is it somewhat similar to your breath in the ancient period?" ”

Ning Fengzi tilted his head and thought for a while, "What you said seems to have some truth, but it's still different, well, I don't know what the difference is." ”

She raised her head, looked at the statue on the top of the high platform, and said with understanding: "I seem to have seen this statue." ”

Gu Yan's spirit perked up, she grabbed Ning Fengzi's arm and asked, "Think about it, where have you seen it?" ”

Ning Fengzi pouted dissatisfiedly, "Hey, you lighten up." I haven't seen the real thing, it seems like I've seen it in a book. My master was a very good reader, and she had a collection of books from the past and present, many of which recorded ethereal legends from ancient times, as if I had seen the prototype of this statue in an illustrated catalogue. She thought for a moment, then shook her head again, "But I can't remember, maybe it's a mythical beast from ancient times." It was used as a totem by later monks for worship. ”

Gu Yan shook his head, it shouldn't be as simple as Ning Fengzi said. Although it is said that since the ancient times, chaos first opened, the demon immortal war, and then the two worlds of man and heaven were divided, which has experienced countless changes, but after all, the immortal cultivation world has its own heritage, as a human monk, how can he use demon beasts as a totem of worship? Even if this is really an ancient divine beast, it shouldn't be. This statue, it doesn't look like it was carved by later generations, but it seems to have survived countless ups and downs and has survived until now.

She looked up and seemed to hear bursts of whimpering sounds around her, and there was an extremely old and desolate voice, singing slowly, "I have seen it, the warbler in the Jinling Jade Palace is crying, and the flowers of the Qinhuai Water Pavilion are blooming early, who knows, it is easy to ...... ice."

With this sound, accompanied by a leisurely sound of the piano, I don't know what instrument was used to play it, it sounded extremely desolate, the feeling of loneliness like a lonely guest in the world, and suddenly Gu Yan's heart surged.

At this moment, Gu Yan's heart seemed to have a feeling that she was born with something lost, and what she had been looking for all her life was nothing more than that. It's just right in front of you, but it's out of reach.

The voice sounded slowly: "That Wuyi Lane, not surnamed Wang; Mochou Lake, ghosts cry at night, Phoenix Terrace, perched birds...... The dream of the remnant mountain is the truest, the old realm is difficult to lose, I don't believe this, the map is changed ......"

Gu Yan suddenly woke up, and as far as her eyes could see, the scene between heaven and earth had suddenly changed. She didn't know when, she had fallen into the phantom array here.

After Gu Yan cultivated the Phantom Sword Spirit Banner, in the world, except for the Yuanying Monk, few people could trap her with the Phantom Array, and in the Sword Washing Pool, the mirage demon with natural abilities trapped her, but she was finally broken out of the formation. But after coming to this phoenix platform, her state of mind seemed to be controlled everywhere, and she unconsciously fell into the illusion.

And the illusion in front of me seems to be both real and illusory, and it is impossible to distinguish between the virtual and the real.

In front of her eyes, the Phoenix Platform suddenly became extremely dilapidated, the ground was full of broken arms and limbs, and countless knives and spears were scattered all over the ground, as if she had just experienced an incomparably fierce battle, with countless casualties, and a silent death aura instantly enveloped her whole body.

Gu Yan obviously knew that she was in an illusion, but she couldn't excite the aura, she couldn't even move a little finger, but her mind was extremely clear, she only saw the statue on the top of the Phoenix Terrace, which also became extremely dilapidated at this time, and seemed to have completely lost her vitality, and she didn't know when it would collapse. An extremely strange feeling kept impacting her sea of knowledge.

In her sea of consciousness, there are like thousands of insects and ants, constantly biting, that feeling makes people almost want to vomit blood, and a strong depression is suppressed in her body.

Suddenly, as if there was a flash in the air, a silver light lit up, Gu Yan only felt that her eyes were clear, she suddenly raised her head and roared.

A clear roar, agitated and clear, the sound spread to the four fields, the statue instantly became golden, the shadow of a golden giant bird appeared in the air, looking around, the momentum was compelling, in the air, countless silver light, like a thousand layers of waves surged. swept away all the broken scenes, and then a boundless murderous aura suddenly surged.

Gu Yan's whole body suddenly froze, and what gushed out in the air seemed to be in line with the thousand-layer sword intent left by the Tibetan Sword Ancestor that she saw when she was on the white sand beach, and with her clear roar, the golden giant bird in the air fluttered its wings after looking around, flew towards the sky, and threw itself into the vast starry sky, disappearing, and on the high platform, only the statue full of spirit was left.

Under the boundless sword intent, what came was Ning Fengzi's scream: "Run, I'm going to die!" ”

Her small body quickly plunged into the chaotic space, and on the high platform, there seemed to be countless demon beast shadows pouring out quickly, like smoke and mist, but like substance, rushing towards Gu Yan in a sea of mountains.

In it, Gu Yan saw many familiar shadows, all of which had appeared in the Thousand Thousand Caves, and many of them were strange and had never been seen before, her heart couldn't help but move, could it be that this Phoenix Platform was the source of those inexplicable demon beasts in the entire Sword Washing Pool?

At this time, above his head, the sword qi with boundless killing intent was already overwhelming, Gu Yan let out a low shout, five huge flag gates had risen from the ground, and eight silver rays of light rushed out from the ground, heading towards the sword qi above his head. Before this strange phoenix platform, Gu Yan seemed to feel that the power of his Phantom Sword Spirit Banner had increased a few points. The eight Xuantian swords met the thousand-fold sword intent above their heads, and their sword aura was as strong as snow, but they were separated by Gu Yan on the top of their heads, and they couldn't fall in the slightest. And at this time, she swiped the spirit trick with her left hand, and the Nine Peaks Ding had appeared in her palm, and the spirit bird on the lid vibrated its wings and soared up, and in the mouth of the Ding, the chaotic vitality had already erupted, and countless demon beast shadows quickly poured out, catching up with the thousands of demon beasts in front. Immediately, an extremely chaotic battle began!

Although the pressure above her head was huge, Gu Yan felt very happy in her heart, after she came to the Phoenix Terrace, it was like returning to an extremely familiar place, where she could do whatever she wanted, free, even the thousand-fold sword intent left by the Hidden Sword Ancestor couldn't suppress her. And the countless demon beasts that rushed down from the phoenix platform, after meeting the demon beasts in the Nine Peaks Ding, the two annihilated each other one after another, and the rest were all sucked into the Ding by the Chaos Vitality.

On the inner wall of the Nine Peaks, the murals began to become clearer and clearer as the number of inhaled demon beasts increased. And the spirit bird stood on top of the dinglid, looking forward to the divine flight, looking like an invincible one. (To be continued)
