Chapter 23: Immortal Mountain
The sun is shining brightly, and the sand waves are surging.
The three of them rode the spirit bird, but after flying for half a day, they had already seen the boundless desert. Feng Yi looked back, and then saw that the area where the Kunwu Kingdom was located was just a small oasis in the desert.
This desert stretches endlessly, with no end in sight. The eyes below are all earthy yellow, and there is nothing else.
Ji Shisheng sat on the back of the big bird, pointed to the westernmost piece of the cloudy sky, and said, "According to the direction pointed by the lord of the country, there are about two thousand miles to pass through this desert and reach the Fengfu Yumen Mountain." ”
Feng Yi nodded, but felt that the sun was hot and extremely thirsty. He took the water bag in his arms and drank it to his heart's content, and couldn't help asking, "You've never been to the other side of the desert before?"
Ji Gengjin also grunted, and then smiled: "Never." First, because the other side of the desert is said to be the boundary of Kunlun Mountain, where there are immortals living there, and we mortals dare not approach it. The other is that this desert is too big to cross with manpower, and I am afraid that after a while, the Spirit Feather Bird we sit on will not be able to hold on. ”
Feng Yi looked down, and sure enough, the spirit birds all lowered their heads, listless. If it weren't for the good training of the Kunwu people on weekdays, I'm afraid they would have fallen down long ago.
He was a little unbearable in his heart, and quietly used the technique of controlling birds to sense the divine consciousness of the spirit bird. One person and one bird have the same heart, and Feng Yi immediately sensed that the spirit of the spirit bird had reached the limit, and if he walked for a while, it was estimated that he would die of exhaustion.
Feng Yi said: "Two Hou masters, I think it's better to let the birds go back to Kunwu to recuperate, and we will go the rest by ourselves." ”
Ji Gengjin smiled: "It's okay, since the young master is so compassionate and heartfelt, I will listen to you." ”
The three of them jumped down against the wind, and the Spirit Feather Bird gratefully swirled low in the air for a moment, and then flew in the direction of Lu Zhongcheng.
As soon as I fell into the desert, I suddenly felt hot and sweated like rain. In mid-air, I didn't feel it, but at this moment, stepping on the sand, Feng Yi felt that the temperature around him was extremely high, and he was almost about to roast people.
The three of them hurriedly sacrificed their body protection qi shields to resist the high temperature.
After walking for a while, a whirlwind suddenly blew in front of him, stirring up gusts of sand, covering the sky and the sun, and the sky darkened in an instant.
Feng Yi had never seen this kind of vision of heaven and earth, and he was stunned for a while. If it was before, he would definitely be afraid to retreat, but now that his cultivation is not the same as in the past, just sand and gravel can't hurt him.
Just as he was about to continue shuttling in the wind, he suddenly heard Ji Shisheng say awe-inspiringly: "Young master, quickly dodge." ”
Feng Yi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously followed the two of them to hide behind a rock several feet high. But he was puzzled, and after a moment's hesitation, he felt a slight tingling in his arm.
At first, he thought that the sand was too strong, breaking through the body protection shield and piercing the skin. But a moment later, the stinging pain traveled around the arm, back and forth, and in an instant, the whole arm was red and swollen.
Seeing this, Ji Gengjin on the side hurriedly rushed up, strangled Feng Yi's upper arm, and turned into a circle of light, from top to bottom, all the way to the palm.
Feng Yi suddenly felt a tingle, but a few small packets bulged in his palms. After the rupture, blood is sprayed. His eyes were sharp, and he saw a few things as thin as sand mixed in with the blood, fluttering its wings, and blending into the storm above the rocks.
He was shocked and exclaimed, "What the hell is this?"
Ji Shisheng said in a deep voice: "This is called a sandworm, and it is a strange insect that grows in the desert of the Western Regions. It is extremely small, but it can blend in with sandstorms and bite people who are accidentally trapped in the desert. In the past, there were often caravans that encountered sandstorms in the desert, and they were fine. But when the sandstorm stopped, only a pair of bones remained. ”
"Later, we Kunwu investigated in many ways, and only then did we know that it was this sandworm who made trouble. ”
Ji Gengjin also said: "There are so many sandworms that they are almost invisible. So even if you are a master of spiritual cultivation, it is very difficult to defend. ”
Feng Yi was awe-inspiring when he heard this, and then he knew that there was such a strange thing in the world, and he didn't dare to be careless for a while.
The three of them hid behind the rocks and waited until the sandstorm stopped before they dared to show up.
They braved the wind and flew low against the desert. After another half of the day, the temperature gradually cooled down, and the oncoming wind also carried a hint of humidity.
For a while, the three of them only felt refreshed, and the breeze was blowing on their faces, and the scorching heat just now was simply two worlds. Feng Yi couldn't help but jump down and rushed into the grass and woods in front of him.
Passing through the dense jungle, the mist ahead is steaming and the light is dappled. A group of various spirit beasts can be faintly seen running and drinking water in the forest. They had never seen a human being here for a long time, and when they saw the wind approaching, they were not at all angry or afraid, but still walked comfortably.
Feng Yi and Ji Gengjin put their minds at ease and looked around. Only Ji Shisheng was still on guard, and said: "Don't relax, I've never been here, maybe there will be fierce beasts that I haven't seen before." ”
Feng Yi and the others didn't care, and Ji Gengjin smiled and said: "Big brother, you have been nervous all day, are you tired, you finally came out for a trip, and relax." ”
Ji Shisheng turned a deaf ear and still looked around.
When it was, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the white mist of the jungle ahead. The three of them were shocked in their hearts, and before they could come back to their senses, the spirit beasts in front of them ran away one after another, scattering in all directions.
The fishy wind rolls angrily, and the sand flies away from the rocks. A crimson figure rushed out of the mist, and the speed was so fast that even Feng Yi's heavy light pupil couldn't even see what it was.
In an instant, many spirit beasts couldn't dodge, and their throats were bitten off at once, and the small ones were swallowed directly. Those large spirit beasts such as Qingyu and Ju Zhen were bitten through the belly, and their internal organs flowed all over the ground.
The beast shuttled in all directions, as fast as lightning. With a large mouth, a few fangs emitted a dazzling cold light. It tore at it for a while, and suddenly there were corpses lying on the ground, many of which had only been bitten through their throats and stomachs, and they were still convulsing and screaming.
But the beast did not eat them, but roamed around and roared.
The three of them were very far apart, and there were many strange fogs around them, blocking their view. Ji Gengjin was shocked: "What kind of monster is ahead? ”
Feng Yi took out the heavy light pupils, and looked into the distance, and found that the monster was red all over, without a trace of variegation, and its tail was raised high, like a burning flame. What's even more strange is that it has three huge heads on its neck, its red eyes are shining, its fangs are thick, and it looks like a king between heaven and earth.
In the past three years, he has seen countless fierce beasts. But except for the black water snake, there is not a single fierce beast above the three monsters in front of him!
He pondered for a moment, suddenly remembered the Sutra of Mountains and Seas, and blurted out: "It turned out to be three heavenly dogs!"
Ji Geng Jinqi said: "Three Heavenly Dogs, what is that?"
Feng Yi said: "The three heavenly dogs are said to have been the divine beasts of the heavenly court. Because of his ferocity, he was punished and sent down to earth. It was covered in flames, and its six eyes could see the nine secluded places underground. ”
Ji Gengjin exclaimed: "Good girl, so powerful, then wouldn't we be lucky, catch one and put it back at the gate of Lu Zhong City, and see who will dare to make a mistake in the future?"
Feng Yi smiled and said: "Second Marquis has a good idea, but it's a pity that this spirit beast is too ferocious, so every time the moon is full, you must eat some fairy mushroom spirit grass to suppress the ferocity." Otherwise, the blood will boil and burst and die. ”
Ji Geng Jinqi said: "Then forget it." I can't afford to raise such a spirit beast in my Kunwu country. ”
When the two were talking, Ji Shisheng on the side had been listening quietly, and suddenly said at this moment: "Eat the fairy mushroom spirit grass, then it may be able to take us to the Fengfu Yumen Mountain and find the immortal vine on the cabinet pine." ”
Feng Yi clapped his hands and said, "Good idea!"
The three of them were talking, discussing how to make the three heavenly dogs listen to their words honestly, but suddenly they heard a roar that shook the sky, and the heavenly dogs suddenly jumped up from the corpse of a bear, and jumped over with a bang, and the three heads opened their mouths and roared.
Ji Gengjin was startled, subconsciously took a step back, and said, "Hey, don't be impulsive, if you have something to say." As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden oops, and Feng Yi turned his head to look, and it turned out to be saliva sprayed in the mouth of the heavenly dog, which fell on Ji Gengjin's clothes, and instantly burned out several large holes.
Feng Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "Second Marquis, this heavenly dog is not those little girls, you can't coax it." ”
Ji Gengjin's face changed slightly, and he said, "If you don't try, how do you know?"
The three of them were afraid that the heavenly dog would break out, so they hurriedly retreated and became horns. At the same time, they all summoned the divine sword and waited for it.
The fierce beast seemed to see the purpose of the three men, stretched out its fangs, and suddenly a burst of fire rushed out, and then turned into three purple fireballs in the air, setting off gusts of wind and waves, surging towards them.
Ji Gengjin bore the brunt of the attack, and hurriedly swung the Chixiao Sword, and a bright red sword light stabbed past. Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Dog was not afraid, and the head in the middle suddenly raised and swallowed the red sword light.
The tengu swallowed the flames, and after a while, his body seemed to grow a little bigger.
Feng Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Second Marquis, you should step back first." This beast seems to be using your spiritual power for food. ”
Ji Gengjin reluctantly took a few steps back, and the three fireballs became bigger and bigger, and even the grass on the ground was burned to black ashes.
Ji Shisheng had been waiting for a long time, he erected the Water Heart Sword, and suddenly a light blue halo spread out, causing a circle of ripples, the blue became deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper, and gradually turned into a large dark blue net, stopping the fireball.
The three heavenly dogs are extremely fierce, and there are no spirit beasts around that can resist them. It encountered its opponent for the first time today, and immediately became furious, and attacked again and again. For a moment, it seemed that a meteorite rain had fallen in the forest.
Ji Shisheng gritted his golden teeth and continued to generate spiritual power, and the entire sword body of the Water Heart Sword turned into water waves, constantly shaking.
The wind was easy to see, and secretly sensed the fluctuation of his spiritual power, and then urged Taiyi Ding. This tripod is the commander of the nine tripods, which can suppress the power of the other eight tripods, and of course, it can also strengthen each other with the eight tripods.
He stretched out his hands and constantly mobilized his spiritual power, faintly forming a silent song of the Nine Songs of the Son of Heaven, which just echoed with the Kanshui Ding of Ji Shisheng.
In an instant, a huge blue waterfall seemed to fall from the sky, instantly extinguishing the continuous fireballs of the tengu, and for a moment the mist was steaming, and the tengu suddenly disappeared in it.
