Chapter Eighty-Eight: There is a Heavenly Sect outside the mountain
Yan Hong'er was calm, picked up the bone flute, slowly put it to her mouth, her lips opened slightly, the sound of the bone flute rose slowly, slowly high-pitched and distant, flying and moving, a huge blood-red phoenix phantom flew out of the bone flute, and the chirping shook the world and shook the heart. The phantom of the phoenix circled around the two of them, flapping its wings more than ten zhang long, bright eyes, fiery red and light feathers, and sharp and huge claws, it seemed to come to the world as a controller.
"Let's go up!" Yan Hong'er said proudly, she didn't want to use this bone flute, but she really couldn't get by, and Yun Hao was dragging her feet, so she had to do it as a last resort.
Yun Hao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that they were going to ride this phoenix phantom through the swamp, but it was just a phantom?
Yan Hong'er impatiently grabbed Yun Hao's shoulders and forcibly dragged them onto the Phoenix Phantom, but both of them seemed to be novices, and they began to stand unsteadily, and slowly found a sense of balance.
The phoenix's chirping sounded again, and the hundred-legged vampire below all cowered in place, not daring to move, as if the huge phantom was something it was in awe. Although the swamp is nearly a hundred miles, the speed of the Phoenix Phantom is extremely fast, and every time it flaps its wings, it will move forward for dozens of miles, so that it has already left the swamp before it has enough fun. During this period, if it weren't for Yan Hong'er's powerful True Qi barrier protecting Yun Hao, it is estimated that he would have been blown into the swamp by the wind.
When the two of them landed safely, Yan Hong'er silently recited the mantra, and the phoenix phantom dissipated, turned into a light red breath, and returned to the bone flute.
"Senior sister...... That Vermilion Bird Phantom just now is very similar to the mark on the map!" Yun Hao was very interested in that bone flute, he guessed that it must be a priceless treasure, but because he couldn't show it directly, he could only ask in a way.
"Suzaku?haha...... What do you think? That's a divine beast among divine beasts, the phantom just now is a phoenix, it's really right to call you a stupid boy!" Yan Hong'er replied with a smile, but there was no mockery or disdain in her words, because she knew that Yun Hao really had too little knowledge, so there was no need to pretend to be anything.
"Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, is it different?" Yun Hao asked curiously, he had always thought that these two legendary divine beasts were the same, but they were called differently.
Yan Hong'er pouted cutely, and replied after a while: "I don't know much about this, I only know that the two are not one or the other, the Vermilion Bird is an ancient divine beast, more domineering and more powerful than the phoenix." ”
In fact, for Yun Hao, there is really no need to know how clearly, he is now fantasizing that if he has this bone flute, he can control the Phoenix Phantom, and after reaching the Demon Rock Mountain, he will have an extra chance of winning by snatching the Requiem Grass.
"Miss Yan, can you lend me the bone flute you took out just now for a few days?" Seeing that he was about to arrive at Moyan Mountain, even if Yan Hong'er grabbed the requiem grass, he would not necessarily give it to himself, and now he could only ask for it cheekily.
Yan Hong'er shook her head and said: "First, this bone flute is a thing of the Vermilion Bird Spirit Palace, and now it is in the Wuji Continent, if you take it out and use it indiscriminately and cause trouble, you will become the target of everyone; ”
She said it in one breath, and she couldn't believe that she could speak in front of Yun Hao, who had known each other for less than a month. From the first time she saw Yun Hao, she knew that the aura of the Vermilion Bird Spirit Palace on her body came from the map she had lost, but she didn't say it on the spot, because she vaguely felt that Yun Hao still had a very mysterious, very faint, and magical aura that she couldn't even perceive.
With Yan Hong'er's promise, Yun Hao felt a lot more relieved, before leaving the inn, Yan Hong'er set up an enchantment to protect Leng Ling, and he knew that she would help him when he went to Moyan Mountain. Pingshui met, and their cultivation was different, and their identities were different, he couldn't figure it out, why did she take such good care of herself? Thinking about it, he actually smiled to himself, because he thought of a reason: Could it be that he is handsome, right?" "Miss Yan has always taken good care of me and my senior sister, is it just because I had the breath of the Vermilion Bird Spirit Palace in my body at the beginning?" This is the question that Yun Hao wants to know the answer to the most.
Yan Hong'er looked into the distance, took a deep breath, the breeze floated her hair, dancing lightly, and she said lightly: "Because of fate!"
"Fate...... Fate?" Yun Hao read it a few times by himself, and when he read it, he laughed, leaning forward and backwards, it was the first time he had seen such a cute girl. He knew that Yan Hong'er was lying to herself, definitely not because of fate, let alone because she was handsome, but she didn't want to say it, and she couldn't ask herself, so she would definitely find a suitable reason. But with a good sentence of "because of fate", I can only end up laughing.
Both of them stopped joking and set off towards the Demon Rock Mountain, if the Requiem grass was really like those big men said, it had been all lighted, and they could only snatch it back from the strange man, but there was no information at all, they might not be able to find the strange man, and it was more difficult. On the other hand, it was just a rumor that the martial arts family was confusing everyone, and the Requiem Grass was still in the Demon Rock Mountain, so it would be much easier.
After traveling a distance, she was about to approach Moyan Mountain, but Yan Hong'er felt an extremely strong murderous aura, and immediately took Yun Hao's hand to stop, squatted down, and stared at a boulder in front of the two of them.
"What's wrong?" Yun Hao followed Yan Hong'er's line of sight, there was nothing strange about it, even if he released his perception, he didn't perceive anything. Could it be a monster like a hundred-legged vampire?
Yan Hong'er rolled her charming eyes, she picked up a small pebble on the ground, and launched it at the boulder with true qi, with equal speed and power. However, for a long time, no sound was heard. When a pebble encounters a boulder, it is like a raindrop falling into the sea, being ruthlessly swallowed, and even the origin cannot be found.
"Yun Hao, have you seen that boulder?" Yan Hong'er asked in a low voice.
After seeing Yun Hao nodding, she continued: "That should be a formation, I think someone wants to block the formation set up by the latecomers from entering the Demon Rock Mountain, and it is not an ordinary formation, there is a strange illusion blessing." ”
Yun Hao stared at it with wide eyes for a while, and broke out in a cold sweat. As he observed, a trace of black crossed his eyes, and he seemed to understand a little.
The first is illusion, this boulder is placed on the intersection of the mountain, the virtual and the real are mixed, very conspicuous, so people passing by must take a few more looks, at this time the illusion will work, the illusion will see the magic rock mountain collapse, countless huge stones rolling down from the mountain, like a stone rain. Secondly, after falling for this illusion, as long as the mind is clear, people will look for gaps, and in the process of rolling down the stones, there is always a safe place, that is, in front of the boulder, which is half a virtual and solid. In the end, in order to avoid these simple falling stones, many martial artists will not choose to fly directly, because it is a waste of strength, and they can only jump to a safe area, and that safe area is the area controlled by the formation, once they enter, they will not be able to get out for a while.
The huge stone block is just a decoy to induce the attention of passing warriors to look this way, and then the illusion is activated, and the illusion does not need to be too powerful, it only needs to be very real to be quite effective. For example, this is in the Demon Rock Mountain, the mountain collapses and the stones roll down, which is expected, and at this time they will take the initiative to enter the formation set up in advance. Even if the trapped person is sober and not strong enough, he can't break through or untie the formation, he can only wait helplessly in the formation.
Such traps are set one after another. Yun Hao turned his head, Yan Hong'er was still in a daze, he knew that Yan Hong'er was thinking about whether to break the formation first or solve the illusion first, but no matter what, it would take a certain amount of time.
He couldn't waste time here, he decided to use his eyes this time, if he could really see the method of breaking the formation, it wouldn't hurt to suffer a little more.
At this time, a series of hurried footsteps slowly approached, and a group of uniformly dressed people appeared in Yun Hao's field of vision, and stopped not far from the stone to trim.
"Tianzong?" Yun Hao saw the two words "Tianzong" on the white clothes of one of them! Could it be the Tianzong Martial Mansion, it can't be wrong, the Tianzong Martial Mansion controls all the martial academies in the Xuantu Country, and it is very prestigious in the Wuji Continent. There is only one mainstream country in the Wuji Continent, the Xuantu Kingdom, which shows the strength of the Heavenly Sect Martial Mansion. However, as soon as he mentioned the Heavenly Sect Martial Mansion, Bai Xiaowan's voice and smile immediately appeared in his mind.
Yan Hong'er said indifferently: "The people of the Heavenly Sect Martial Mansion, since they are here, let them try, so that we can find the secret to breaking this double formation." "What she meant was to let these eight or nine people from the Heavenly Sect Martial Mansion go to the thunder as test subjects.
"This ...... It's not good, we haven't figured out that this formation is just trapped, or killed directly after trapping, if the latter is the case, wouldn't we be harming people?" Yun Hao seemed to feel that this was inappropriate, so he explained tactfully.
Yan Hong'er smiled: "You are so stupid, it is precisely because we don't know the ultimate purpose of this formation that we let them try." Seeing Yun Hao's embarrassed look, she guessed again, "Should it be...... What else do you have with the Heavenly Sect Martial Mansion, with your low cultivation ......?"
Yun Hao said resolutely: "No, if we don't know about this matter in advance, they are trapped in the formation, life and death are unpredictable, we have no ability, we can choose not to save them, if we know, we still watch them go into the abyss without doing anything to stop them, we are harming people!"
Yan Hong'er was about to be blown up, when will the world of martial artists not be immortal, what is the ability of a small earth state martial artist to care about the life and death of others, and whispered: "Slap a swollen face and become fat, you have the ability to break the formation!"
"Uncle Chi Dusk, I have already arrived at the Demon Rock Mountain, why don't you go directly into the mountain and search for the Requiem Grass, I heard that many martial artists have come this time. A mediocre-looking young man walked up to a middle-aged man and asked, although his appearance is mediocre, his strength cannot be underestimated, and he is already in the realm of heaven.
The person who was called Twilight sighed, pointed to the boulder, and said, "Someone in front of you deliberately set up a formation, and you won't be able to pass for a while. Zuo Qi, you go and tell everyone to wait for Uncle Yuandao to come and discuss it. ”
After Zuo Qi learned of the situation, he told the other disciples of the Heavenly Sect Martial Mansion.
"Yuandao?" Yun Hao felt very familiar when he heard this name, could it be the Yuandao who came to rescue Bai Xiaowan when Zhou Xuanjing chased and killed him? He was not sure, he was in a half-awake and half-unconscious state at that time.
After a while, two more people arrived, one was far away, and the other was Bai Xiaowan.
Yun Hao was very excited, and said to himself: "I didn't expect Senior Sister Bai to really come......" He clenched his fists, thinking about Bai Xiaowan sacrificing his life to fight against Zhou Xuanjing for himself, the gratitude from his heart made him a little excited to rush up and recognize him. However, because of Yan Hong'er beside him, he still held on. But how did they make their way through the swamp?
Seeing Yun Hao's expression, Yan Hong'er looked disdainful, this guy must have something to do with Tianzong Martial Mansion, and he also had a senior sister Bai, so affectionately, he said coldly: "Since you know them, I don't need to be your 'bodyguard', let's say goodbye!"
"Huh?" Yun Hao was surprised, why did he suddenly make such a request, he smiled and shook his head, you can't be too selfish, how can you say that Yan Hong'er is also his benefactor.
Yuan Dao, who was not far away, said: "Senior Brother Chi Dusk, this formation should have been set up after everyone entered the Demon Rock Mountain, because I sensed it just now, and no one in the formation has been trapped. ”
Chi Dui nodded, he had just discovered this, but he still needed to go far away to break the formation: "Since this is the case, then abolish this formation, there is Senior Brother Lao Yuandao!"
Yuandao took out a long sword from the illusion ring, and the moment he took it out, there was nothing special, but after Yuandao silently recited the mantra, it shone brightly, and the bright light and phantom of the long sword alone seemed to pierce the night sky. I saw that with a wave of his long sword, a clear sword light rushed directly into the boulder, and after a while, the boulder trembled violently, and only a "boom" sound was heard, and the formation was broken. Chi Dui, Yuan Dao, Bai Xiaowan, Zuo Qi, and the other disciples of the Heavenly Sect Martial Mansion quickly entered the Demon Rock Mountain.
"No wonder you are so confident, it turns out to be the treasure of the Heavenly Sect Martial Mansion, the soldier of the middle-grade Venerable - Pingtian Sword!" Yan Hong'er said with a sudden realization.
Only Yun Hao still asked in a fog, "What Pingtian Sword?"
Yan Hong'er pulled Yun Hao and said, "The formation is broken, and you haven't entered the mountain yet?" The two followed closely, following the trail of the Tianzong Martial Mansion and his party.
