Chapter 67: Hatching the Phoenix
Yanluo Peak, one of the seven main peaks in the territory of Wanshi Sect, is high enough to reach the clouds, and at noon, the mountainside is still wrapped in white clouds. Under the background of the silver veil-like clouds and mist, the simple and beautiful Jade Pond Hall is more and more like a fairy. The breeze came slowly, blowing the Enlightenment Tree rustling, and it was rare to spare the rest of the general, sitting quietly under the tree, listening to the detailed report of the younger generations led by Su Hongye on the mission of the Sulfur Valley.
Dressed in a green shirt, he listened carefully, because he was afraid that his disciples would deliberately reduce the casualties and losses or even conceal them in order to invite merit and rewards, but whenever Su Hongye's statement was ambiguous, he would keenly point it out and ask him inch by inch. Rao Su Hongye was calm, and after reporting this through, he was also tired and sweating.
After straightening out every detail of the Sulphur Valley incident, and making sure that only Xie Cixin and Li Yunuan were injured and that there was no major problem because of the timely rescue, Jiang's tense face finally cleared, he got up, and sighed: "I didn't expect that this trip to Sulphur Valley would give birth to so many branches. It is difficult for you to respond to the situation, not only did you not lose it, but also brought back such a natural treasure. ”
As he spoke, his gentle gaze fell on the disciples who participated in the mission in the Valley of Sulfur. The moment they felt the warm divine consciousness of the master like a spring breeze, the four fifteenth generation disciples only felt bursts of pride gushing out of their hearts.
Watching in turn like this, when it was the turn of the two wounded, the eyes of the general were a little more attentive. He observed gently, and after making sure that Li Yunuan and Xie Cixin's faces were still pale but their qi and blood were undamaged, he turned around and said to Feng Luo: "You go to the Danfang tomorrow, refine the jade lingzhi, and give it to them." ”
Feng Luo took a step forward, answered the word "yes", and took out a green jade plate from his sleeve - according to Su Hongye Fangcai's statement, the contribution value due to each participant in this mission has been distributed - and passed it to everyone to sign for confirmation, and finally passed it back to Feng Luo's hand, turning into a streamer and disappearing into his sleeve.
Since then, the Brimstone Valley mission has come to an end for the time being.
...... Only the disposal of the phoenix eggs remains.
Jiang Lu slowly walked to the round egg that was still wrapped in the green cloth, and with a slight movement of his fingers, the green cloth naturally loosened, revealing the body of the egg that was as smooth as jade: "This is the spiritual thing obtained from the volcano?"
Su Hongye replied: "Exactly." ”
Jiang Luo frowned: "Ji Zhiyue?"
Hearing the master summon himself, Ji Zhiyue took a step forward and said loudly: "The apprentice grandson is here." ”
"Are you sure this is a phoenix?" asked the general, his tone gentle and implicitly displeased.
Ji Zhiyue raised his head and said calmly: "I am sure that it is correct." After this thing was born, it was self-proclaimed aura, and it was difficult to hide the treasure light in the end. What's more, I have the blood of the Vajra Peng Bird in my body, and I can clearly feel the pressure from this thing. The moment I first saw it, my heart ...... gave birth to an irrepressible sense of surrender, and almost knelt down. ”
Vajra Peng Bird is respected as the protector of the Buddha by the Buddha, with a noble bloodline and outstanding status. The divine bird that can give birth to a sense of surrender in the bloodline of the Vajra Peng Bird can only be the phoenix genus.
As the agent of the teaching and the management of the library pavilion, Bogu is familiar with the present, in fact, the moment he saw the giant dome, he recognized Ji Zhiyue's guess. It's just that the incubation of phoenix eggs consumes a huge amount, and often more than he loses, even if he is unstable, his heart is inevitably uncertain. Now listening to Ji Zhiyue's words, the last suspicion faded, stretched out his hand, and his fingertips slid over the round egg jade-like surface.
Touching it inch by inch, the clear light slid like water, and the golden talisman rippled and was fleeting.
Suddenly, golden lightning flashed on the surface of the round egg and jade!
"Don't let me try inside it?! This kind of coercion is indeed unmistakable. He said to himself, and when the disciples heard this, they immediately raised their eyebrows, and said in unison: "Congratulations to the ancestor/master/master!"
Different from the joy of the disciples, the smile of the general was bitter: "Congratulations early." According to the classics, the phoenix is divided into five kinds, the red is the phoenix, the blue is the luan, the yellow is the chick, the white is the bird, and the purple is the cormorant. The color of this eggshell is pale pink, and I don't know if it is a bird or a phoenix inside. What's more, the phoenix is arrogant by nature, and even if it hatches smoothly, it may not be willing to obey the orders of the Ten Thousand Ancestors. Although we hope to be able to hatch a phoenix, even if it is only a Honghu inside, it is also born with a golden pill cultivation, and extraordinary monks can control it! I am afraid that I am afraid that I have consumed countless heavenly and earthly treasures, but I am making wedding clothes for others. ”
Thousands of living beings in heaven and earth all follow the rule that the strong are respected. A holy beast such as the phoenix is even more proud, and if it does not have enough strength, it is impossible to subdue it. Now that Wan Shizong is looking around with strong enemies, it is certainly a good thing to be able to get the help of the phoenix. But in the sect, except for those few old ancestors who have long been unconcerned about the world, who can suppress and control the phoenix!
Even the most common of the five clans, the Honghu and the Corne, have to be subdued by the power of the Transformation Stage!
And this phoenix egg is a thing from 10,000 years ago, and it may not be able to hatch at all.
For a while, the general was in a dilemma.
......
......
The current cultivation realm seems to be calm, but in fact, it is turbulent.
The generals who are regarded as the next generation of the Ten Thousand Masters Sect are cultivated, although they are teenagers, their minds are just as complicated. He had inadvertently clashed with the powerful Dharma Body who was the protector of the Devil-Faced Demon Venerable, and he had also fought with the black-clothed Divine Monarch whose purpose was still unknown when the Sun and Moon Tonghui vision occurred, and because of his mother, he knew all kinds of undercurrents of the Xiuzhen Alliance.
If the matter of the phoenix can go smoothly this time, the sect should be like a tiger with wings, but if-
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!
A mortal word crossed his mind like black lightning.
The general understands.
Now that the first step has been taken, why be afraid?
I am fortunate to be the winner, and I am lucky to be the loser.
If you are hesitant to even take over such a trivial matter, how should you decide between life and death when you take over the sect in the future!
Thinking of this, Jiang Liu's heart already has a plan.
He turned around and ordered: "Fengluo, send a message to Qiandu Peak, there are no outsiders in the Jade Pond Hall these days, and any visit will be refused." ”
"Obey the law. ”
He said: "Zhiyue, you and Yu Nuan stay." The rest of the people have stepped back for the time being. ”
"Yes. ”
Everyone was ordered, Yuguan withdrew, and the flower garden, which was still slightly crowded, was only three people left in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Luo raised his head and announced word by word: "I have decided to hatch the phoenix eggs at any cost." ”
When Ji Zhiyue heard this, he was secretly frightened, and said: "The spiritual power of this phoenix egg is amazing, and if it is successful, it is a great luck, if it is not successful, it is a waste of spiritual power." ”
The general said: "I have made up my mind, you don't want to say more." Prepare the circle. ”
Ji Zhiyue looked at the ancestor with a resolute expression, so he stopped talking. He had traveled abroad for four years, and he knew that the cultivation realm was not as peaceful and harmonious as it seemed on the surface, and there were many contradictions in it, and they were on the verge of breaking out. What's more, as the next head of the Ten Thousand Ancestors, the ancestor should have been decisive.
Immediately received the order, and retreated to prepare the cinnabar and other materials needed to draw the formation, as well as some special medicines that might be involved in hatching the phoenix clan.
sent Ji Zhiyue away, and looked at Li Yunuan on the side again.
Qing Yan's sleepy gaze fell on his body, and Li Yunuan couldn't help but be frightened again.
It wasn't the first time she and the general had looked at each other, but it was the first time he had been stared at with such a gaze that seemed to be expecting something.
In an instant, I was so nervous that my heart was about to stop!
"You're doing well, but it's too dangerous, don't mess around like this next time. Jiang Lu gently reprimanded, Li Yunuan knew that he was referring to the matter of going down to the crater to get phoenix eggs, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yu Nuan knows that he is wrong, Yu Nuan should not let the ancestor worry." But at that time, the situation was critical, but Yu Nuan couldn't care about this, I was conceited phoenix blood-"
"Actually, you didn't think of that at the time, did you?" interrupted the general.
Li Yunuan was shocked when she heard this, biting her tongue and unable to speak.
Seeing that her expression was different, Jiang Luo only thought that he had guessed it, so he hurriedly slowed down his tone and said thoughtfully: "This kind of thing is really difficult for people who have not experienced it to understand. I'm not surprised that you'll hide it. ”
Yes?!
Li Yunuan was even more flustered. She never expected that they would misinterpret her behavior of resolutely jumping into the crater because of Yuehua's bewitchment as a bloodline summoning! Unfortunately, Yuehua's existence was her biggest secret, and she could only make a mistake and pretend to be wrong, so she suddenly said, "It turns out that ...... That's the bloodline summoning...... It's as if the body is dominated by another consciousness and is completely involuntary......"
The general was redoubling his gentleness and soothing: "Fortunately, there is no big problem...... By the way, I kept you, in fact, there is one thing I want you to do for me. ”
"The master only commands. Li Yunuan said frankly.
Jiang Luo was a little embarrassed: "You are seriously injured this time, I shouldn't have let you work hard again, it's just a matter of phoenix eggs...... Although Ji Zhiyue helped prepare the magic circle, and there was Wan Shizong's spiritual vein as foreign aid, but in the end, it was something ten thousand years ago, and how much success it might be, I am not sure. So—"
He was a little speechless, his gaze wandering between the girl and the phoenix egg.
Finally, he made a decision.
"I want you to stay in the Jade Pond Hall for five days. ”
Yes?!
Li Yunuan, who didn't understand the meaning of the ancestor at all, looked at the general in surprise.
The young man was unaware of her almost probing gaze, he walked to the phoenix egg with his hands behind his back, and sighed: "Although this phoenix egg has a majestic aura, it has survived for nearly 10,000 years, and the chance of successful hatching is very low. Fortunately, I have seen another method of incubation in ancient books, tracing back to the bloodline, using the connection of blood to bring back to this world the life lost in the void!"
"Bloodline backtracking?" Li Yu repeated warmly, her phoenix descendants were completely fabricated by Yuehua, if it was really painted on the eggshell, wouldn't it be completely revealed!
It's a pity that Yuehua, who heard these mutterings, didn't want her to retreat from the battle, and he shouted in Zhihai:
("Say yes!")
But?!
("Absolutely not revealing!I'm here!")
What the hell are the seniors talking about......
Li Yunuan, who knew Yuehua's cunning thoughts, became more and more worried when he heard this.
Her frowning and contemplative appearance fell in the eyes of the general, but she was thought to be weak and unwilling to stab blood all night. The general is gentle in nature and does not want to be difficult for others, so he said: "If you don't want to, then forget it." ”
When Li Yunuan heard it, she knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "No, I'm just ...... I'm just worried that not only will I not be able to help my ancestor, but I will also become a tired ......."
Jiang Lu smiled: "I'm not afraid of being dragged down by you, what do you have to be afraid of." ”
Li Yunuan has always admired the general, he is a master but never forces his disciples with his identity, nor does he decide everything with his qualifications like ordinary people, it is rare that he has asked for himself this time, and he can't bear to refuse, not to mention that she really wants to know what kind of calculations Lu Dao Yuehua has this time, or how he will help him get by.
After pretending to think about it for a while, Li Yunuan said cautiously: "Everything is arranged by the ancestor and the senior brother. I...... Do all in one's power. ”
Jiang Luo smiled and said, "I'm tired of you." ”
Li Yunuan smirked: "It is an honor for the apprentice to be relied on by the ancestors. ”
