Chapter 39: The Lost Realm
The nine-winged firebird was born with fire, its wings were red like flames, it had phoenix wings and a bird's tail, its head was like a chicken, its feet were like an eagle, and its mouth was like a spare.
And the spar in its mouth is the treasure that is truly coveted.
The reason why that spar is called a tongue crystal is because it grows on the tongue of the nine-winged firebird. When each nine-winged firebird is born, there will be a transparent crystal of different colors on the tongue, this crystal is their inner pill, similar to the human golden pill, which is the foundation for breeding spiritual power, the difference is that the tongue crystal is not like the golden pill to rely on the acquired cultivation, they are innate, born with profound spiritual power.
Their size will increase as the firebird grows up, and the color will even change due to the improvement of the firebird's cultivation, so that they can be divided into three, six, nine and so on, with different effects.
This kind of tongue crystal is a spiritual creature that is naturally raised, and it has absorbed countless grass and wood essences and the aura of the sun and moon to take shape, so it is an excellent material for improving cultivation, if it is refined, it can even replace the golden pill to supply spiritual power! In this way, there is no need to cultivate for more than ten years for the sake of the knot, just swallow it lightly, and you can immediately have a half-immortal level "golden pill"!
You must know that the half-immortal level Jin Dan can almost make people step into the road of ascending to the immortal on one leg, and after a few years of practice, they will be able to completely ascend to the immortal, and then it will be the realm of the immortal body, which can be described as the highest realm of cultivation. As far as the current Immortal Demon Dao is concerned, no one has a Jin Dan of this level! One can imagine what kind of treasure it is!
In addition, it can also absorb the excess turbidity in the bloodline, whether it is its own backlog of heart fire exhaust gas or the evil breath polluted by the outside world, it can be absorbed and purified by it.
Of course, such a treasure is the focus of competition in people's eyes, but helplessly, the nine-winged firebird is extremely beastly and too powerful, and no one who has approached it for so many years has not been burned to ashes. And this bird has always been elusive, even if you can withstand the flames of the volcanic lava vein, you may not see it when you enter, the previous descriptions and rumors about it are passed down by a few people who have seen it in the ancestors, and there is no one who has seen it with their own eyes in the generation of Xiandao. Even Shangguan Yu had only seen its image on the Zhiwei Collection of Qingmiao Peak, and had never seen the real thing.
Such a tricky spirit beast actually made this couple encounter, not only did they encounter it, but they could even subdue it and take off the spar on its tongue, what a great creation and how deep cultivation it should be!
It's no wonder that these self-confident people can pull down their old faces and shamelessly rob other people's things, this kind of treasure that almost never appears in the world is fortunate to see it once, and I don't know when I will have it next time, maybe there will be no more, but I can't hurry up and grab it!
The woman suddenly threw out the scabbard in her hand like garbage, walked up to the man, held his arm with one hand, and said, "That tongue crystal is what we used to heal our daughter, and it will never be handed over to you!"
Qin Sheng sneered: "What is your daughter, she is also worthy of using this kind of holy relic?"
The woman's hand holding the sword made a gurgling sound of bones, and the motherly appearance just now suddenly became fierce, and the murderous aura between her eyebrows made her look like a different person.
"My daughter is not worthy, are you a despicable and shameless villain?"
When Qin Sheng heard this, he was immediately furious, and shouted: "You should clean up your mouth! When you are dying, you dare to speak disrespectfully, is it really boring?"
The woman laughed twice and said sarcastically: "Is this because I am right, annoyed and angry? You are chasing and killing our whole family under the guise of chasing the sacred relics of the Immortal Dao, but you just want to take the tongue crystal for yourself." You don't dare to snatch it from the Nine-Winged Firebird, but when we get it in our hands, we can take advantage of the fact that our cultivation is damaged and unable to resist, and you have found yourself such a nice name, I feel disgusted for you!
As she spoke, she raised her long sword, slowly pointed it at each of them from left to right, and continued: "Do you dare to say that everyone here doesn't have the intention of taking it for themselves? I think that even if we hand over the things to you now, you won't bring the things back to the Immortal Dao and hand them over to the care of the hundred families, right?"
As soon as her voice fell, the crowd fell silent, everyone looked left and right, exchanged glances with each other, and the expressions on their faces were strange, and the right and wrong of her words were self-evident.
"Hahaha...... Why did I bother to come out in the first place? After all, they were right, these people...... It's not worth it at all!"
The woman suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, her mouth saying words that were incomprehensible, and her tone was full of remorse.
Shangguan Yu was just taken aback, and then he became curious again. Listening to the meaning of this woman's words, it seems that she is not from this place, but where did she come from, so where did she come from? Who is the "they" in her mouth? This woman's speech is indistinct, and listening to the meaning revealed in the words, her identity seems to be extraordinary.
The man suddenly shook her hand with his backhand, and there was a little apology in his eyes: "You should regret coming out with me, right?"
The woman also looked at him with a desolate face: "Yes, I regret it." ”
After a slight pause in his voice, the man did not have the slightest expression of surprise and loss when he heard this, but continued to stare at her, only to hear the woman say again: "I regret not leaving you there, but came out with you." If you were there, at least I wouldn't have let you and your children end up like this. ”
The man smiled slightly, brushed the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears with a blood-stained hand, and said softly: "In this life, after all, I am tired of you." In the next life, I'll pay you back, okay?"
The woman smiled brightly, and at this time she seemed to be a little woman who was tender like water, snuggled in her husband's arms: "Good ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the man put an arrow on his forearm beside the woman's ear, and the force of the arrow was so great that his forearm couldn't stop moving a little to the side. After a startle, the pain quickly rushed to the whole arm, and then it hung down, and the long sword in his hand also fell, and there was no power to fight back under this injury.
The woman was suddenly startled, and hurriedly looked at the wound on his hand, but at this moment, arrows were raining down in the air, and all the people of the Xuanmen stood in the air with their swords, forming a circle around them in front and back, left and right, and the sword light was intertwined into a net covering the sky, and the spiritual flow crawled all over the sword net like electricity, and countless light thorns rushed down in the momentum of the heaven and earth net!
The husband and wife had already lost most of their cultivation due to the strength of the nine-winged firebird, and in terms of physical strength at this moment, I am afraid that even a little protégé may not be able to take it, and they are besieged by this at this weakest time, even if they struggle hard, they have no ability to resist at all!
The rain of arrows and all kinds of sword light spells fell like a downpour, instantly enveloping the heavens and the earth in a colorful light curtain, and the eyes of the people who were shaking were dizzy, and even Shangguan Yu, who was far away from the battle circle, couldn't help but look away, unable to bear the dazzling blazing light.
The husband and wife were pierced through the body by the sharp piers of the sky in the magic circle, and their whole bodies were full of holes with spiritual light, and blood also flowed out along the wounds that were scratched, and the whole person was like a hole in the blood bag, and the body was deflated after a while.
However, from beginning to end, they didn't snort, just hugged each other tightly, and then gradually began to shake and unsteadily, and finally knelt down directly.
Ye Lingluo hid behind the reeds and watched this dazzling scene, his eyes were full of horror and jealousy, his small body couldn't help shaking, but he didn't dare to make too much movement, he could only cover his mouth and weep while peeping at his parents to be tortured.
Shangguan Yu could vaguely see the sprouts of hatred in her eyes.
Gu Xiaoqian's deep voice came as cold as a hell's death knell: "If you don't hand over the tongue crystal quickly, you can save your life if you hand it over now, otherwise you ......"
The husband and wife didn't hear it, they still snuggled up to it, trying their last bit of strength to barely stay awake, as if they were holding on to a certain thought together.
Gu Xiaoqian saw that they had fallen to this point and still didn't let go, he was immediately annoyed, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding monks immediately understood, and the sword light cone rain attacked even more fiercely, and immediately wrapped the two people on the ground!
Two heartfelt wails suddenly sounded, and the bodies of the two of them who were originally kneeling fell down again, and their whole bodies were close to the ground.
Gu Xiaoqian: "Handed over or not!"
The two did not respond.
Another heavy blow.
The bodies of the two were knocked over and slid out, and a blood mark several feet long dragged out of the ground.
Gu Xiaoqian: "Whether you pay it or not!"
The two fell to the ground and looked at each other and smiled, struggling to stretch out their hands in each other's direction, but their bodies couldn't move at all.
Gu Xiaoqian was simply smoked by the seven orifices of anger, and he didn't let go of his mouth when tortured like this, it was really a stone in a thatched pit - smelly and hard!
He and Qin Sheng exchanged a look, the two of them pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and sacrificed their unique tricks in their hands.
Shangguan Yu squinted, his right hand unconsciously stroked the Qiankun fan on his waist, rubbed it a few times, and his eyes flashed, and after thinking for a while, he slowly put it down.
Just as he lowered his hand, a rainbow light burst out in the encirclement, and then he heard the sound of flesh tearing in his ears. He raised his eyes and saw that a layer of red rain mist was hazy floating in a light curtain, and the tip of his nose smelled a rich bloody breath at the same time, and at the same time, a purple light point was slowly rising in the white glittering light curtain.
All the Xuanmen disciples who surrounded the human wall suddenly lit up.
Shangguan Yu knew that that thing was probably the tongue crystal when he saw this posture, it should be because they had just cast a spell and shattered the body of the husband and wife, so the tongue crystal also shook out of them.
Gu Xiaoqian and Qin Sheng's eyes emitted a light like a hungry wolf, and with a greedy smile, a sword swept around them, opening up an unhindered open space for themselves, and swept away with the tongue crystal!
Shangguan Yujian raised his eyebrows slightly, but this time he didn't control himself, and immediately took two steps, with the intention of competing with them.
But before he could get closer, he heard a sudden bang in front of him, and when he stopped and stared, there was a strange layer of red light around the purple point of light, and those words floated from the palm of the woman who stood up at some point.
Yin Blood Curse!
Shangguan Yu's eyes widened suddenly, his eyes were firmly fixed on this blood spell and refused to move away, just because this Yin Blood Spell was originally a technique of Qing Miao Peak!
As the name suggests, the Yin Blood Mantra is a poisonous technique that specializes in recruiting yin evil things, this spell comes out, no matter how many miles away, as long as it is the powerful ghost and evil god that the master wants to summon, all of them will go to their lives in an instant, and they will be killed by the master's order, and they will kill the gods and meet the Buddha*! These evil things are not ordinary little monsters, but a very high level of ferocity, and they are already dead, without fear and no feeling, even if they are people at the level of Xuanmen Grandmaster, they have to tremble when they meet a crowd! Therefore, the masters who can command these evil spirits are naturally invincible and invincible!
But this kind of exercise also has a fatal drawback, that is, it is destructive. Although this blood spell is extremely powerful, it is made with the help of demonic power, and it is not the right way, and the excessive evil power will exceed the limit of human tolerance, and it will stimulate the innate viciousness that is suppressed in people's hearts, and every time it is used, it will be one step closer to hell. Over time, people will lose themselves, and the blood curse will become controlled by the blood curse, and then people will become a murderous puppet with an empty shell, and the real self will have already died unconsciously.
To put it simply, it's just a power deal that sells your soul.
This kind of yin poison technique should not have appeared in the immortal holy land like Qingmiao Peak, so a long time ago, Shangguan Yu's master Xuanxu Sanren sealed it in the jade petal pool of Qingliang Valley, and it has been lost for a hundred years. As for how Shangguan Yu knew this secret and why he knew so much about this kind of exercise, it was five years after he started.
But what he was most shocked at the moment was, how could this woman do this kind of exercise?
Just when he expected that there would be an evil thing attacking him in a while, and he was waiting for the horizontal fan to take precautions, he found that there was no movement around him at all, and there was no sign of all evil going to his life and walking through the scorched earth.
What's going on? Did she not get home from kung fu or did she deliberately keep her sense of proportion?
He was secretly contemplating to himself, and saw that the purple and red light in the air became brighter and hotter, and when they blended with each other, they began to devour each other, and at the same time, there was a smell of burning things in the air. This lasted only a few exhales, and then an explosion was heard, and all those who were eager to be tongue-in-cheek were blown away! Eight of them were killed instantly, and two fell to the ground, dying.
Shangguan Yu relied on his quick reaction and skill to retreat more than ten feet, and he was able to avoid this change. When the sound subsided and the aura dimmed, he looked up again, and this time he found that there was still a trace of tongue crystals in front of him, and even the woman's body was nowhere to be found, only the scattered torn clothes on the ground could still be vaguely seen a trace of the woman.
She actually used the last wisp of her soul to cast a spell and destroy the tongue crystal!
She had said before that they seized the tongue crystal to treat Ye Lingluo's illness, but she didn't want to be innocent and guilty, so she caused a disaster. The two of them couldn't hand over the tongue crystal for their daughter's life, but if they didn't hand it over, they couldn't escape death, and when they were dying, they were unwilling to be stolen by these shameless people, so they cursed and self-destructed, and simply died together. But when he cast the spell, he remembered that his daughter was still in the dark, so his subordinates kept a sense of proportion, hoping to leave his daughter a glimmer of life.
The couple also had good intentions.
Shangguan Yu really understood Ye Lingluo's life experience at this time, and secretly said No wonder this girl was so wild at a young age, it turned out that it was because of such a miserable past. Also, the originally innocent and romantic girl suddenly saw her parents die in front of her in such a way, it was desperate and scared enough, and then she thought that from now on she would be an orphan, and she would have to wander alone to survive, living a life of sleeping on the streets without three meals, how could a five or six-year-old child stand it! If it were put on ordinary children, I am afraid that they would not be able to live now!
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yu turned his eyes to look at Ye Lingluo, but saw that Ye Lingluo was surrounded by black smoke at this time, his pupils all turned black, his eyes faintly flashed with two red points, and there was a strange evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
Not good!
