【Guiyuan City-Ming Hall Branch】

The Taoist man chased the Nanjiang woman and Mu Pu to the underground, but he didn't expect that it was just a blink of an eye, the two of them were gone, and the light of a directional teleportation circle dimmed in front of him. The Taoist man snorted coldly www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, obviously the two of them left here through this teleportation array, and in order to prevent the Taoist man from pursuing, they had completely destroyed the teleportation array on the other side.

The Taoist man looked around, he didn't expect that there was such a large underground altar hidden under this Temple of Heaven, and he didn't know what it was for. He then returned to the ground, and the heavily armored guards of the Ming Hall [Four Elephant Court] had not arrived until now, and Tao Chengzhi, the head of the guard, was nowhere to be seen. He snorted coldly again, "What I said before was very good, but now I don't know that my backyard is on fire, and it's really ridiculous and generous to have my hometown copied." ”

A woman who was late at this time was Elder Li Huaisu of [Renzong]. Although she is in her forties, she is no longer in the cardamom years of flowers, but she also has a different elegance and dignity. Like the Taoist man, she also came to Guiyuan City because of the summons of the Ming Palace, and the group of people had just met in the afternoon, how could this kind of thing happen in the evening.

If she hadn't happened to live near here, she wouldn't have been able to come so quickly when she heard the change, but she didn't expect to be a step late. What surprised Li Huaisu even more was that the broken corpses of the guards were all over the door all the way to the vicinity of the Temple of Heaven, and after she checked these corpses, she found that these Ming Palace guards were directly pierced or cut off by sharp objects, and the killer was so skilled in his actions that the ferocity of his means was outrageous.

"Did Elder Liu Benwu capture the intruders?" Seeing the Taoist man, Li Huaisu hurriedly asked.

"Those two were familiar with the structure of the Ming Hall in Guiyuan City, and let them run away with the teleportation array. ”

Liu Benwu is the elder of [Zhizong], and Li Huaisu also knows a little bit of his strength, and if he can retreat from his hands, the other party must not be a weak person. She then asked, "Then I wonder if Elder Liu Benwu can see the identity of the murderer?"

Liu Benwu unexpectedly didn't give Li Huaisu a good look: "There are two people who invaded the Ming Hall just now, one of them is a young woman dressed in southern Xinjiang clothing, I don't know which kung fu she has learned, her limbs are as sharp as clay, and she can pierce her armor with her bare hands, this is the first time I have seen it." As for the other one, I am very familiar with it, it is Mu Pu, who was passed on to the Mu clan by your Li family, and just seriously injured my [Zhizong] sect half a year ago. Now he is washing the Ming Hall with blood. Your Li family is really an amazing talent!"

Li Huaisu didn't expect that one of the two murderers who invaded would be Mupu, and his face turned blue and white when he heard it, "How come, didn't he just come back from Seven Birds City?"

The Taoist priest's face was gloomy, "I have long seen that this kid is not a safe master, it seems that what Tao Chengzhi said today is not wrong, if we don't move more seriously, we will be ridden in the face by others soon." ”

【Guiyuan City-Shangling Temple】

Jiao Qi coughed and woke up from his deep sleep, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to look around for Jiao Ba's whereabouts. Jiao Qi remembered very well that the last scene he saw before he lost consciousness was that Jiao Ba was put down beside him by an arrow.

He didn't look for Jiao Ba, but saw the fifth old gentleman sitting in the compartment, and hurriedly asked, "Fifth old gentleman, where is Jiao Ba? Why isn't it here?"

The fifth old gentleman couldn't see his appearance, stood up, sighed, raised his hand to summon a flame, and condensed into a red tripod in front of him. The fifth old gentleman turned his head to look at Jiao Qi, and said, "Come here, I'll take you to see it now." ”

When Jiao Qi heard that Jiao Ba was still alive, he immediately smiled, and asked while getting up and running to the fifth old man, "Really, where is it now?"

The fifth old gentleman asked Jiao Qi to put his hand on the red ding, and then whispered a spell in his mouth.

In an instant, Jiao Qi only felt that the world was spinning, and the entire world around them began to distort, and then quickly returned to their normal appearance, and after a short period of vertigo, they appeared in a huge circular square surrounded by stone walls on all sides.

Jiao Qi thought to himself, "Is this the directional teleportation circle that Mu Pu said, but why is it a little different from what he depicted?" This thought just flashed through his mind, and then he looked for Jiao Ba's figure everywhere, but this strange place except for the huge empty square in front of him, there were only dark red stone walls hidden in the darkness on all sides, and nothing else could be seen.

Jiao Qi turned his head and asked the fifth old gentleman on the side: "What about Jiao Ba, fifth old gentleman, didn't you say that you wanted to take me to see Jiao Ba, where is it?"

A point of light the size of a flying insect flew from nowhere, and the fifth old gentleman stretched out his right hand, and this point of light fell on the palm of the fifth old gentleman, and the fifth old gentleman said slowly: "It's here." ”

Jiao Qi first looked at the fifth old gentleman and then looked at the light spot in his hand, and found that the fifth old gentleman didn't have any intention of joking with him, he didn't understand what this little light point only meant, "Could it be that Jiao Ba is still dead!"

Jiao Qi immediately thought of Mu Min, the green-shirted young man from the Mu Clan, "He took a bow at the time, and that light arrow was shot by him, that murderer, I must kill him with my own hands!" Jiao Qi turned from sadness to anger, looking at his gritted teeth, as if he was about to tear Mu Min alive.

His reaction was completely unexpected by the fifth old gentleman: "Jiao Ba is not dead, but as a fire spirit, it can no longer maintain its body in the real world after being seriously injured, and now it has to temporarily store this remnant of its spirit in this temple." In this outer sanctum, it can only be like this. ”

Jiao Qiyi heard that things might have a turn for the better, and hurriedly asked, "Really! Is there any way to make it change back to its original appearance?"

Mr. Five: "Of course there is a way, and there is more than one, the first way is to find his spirit master, that is, the person who turned it into a fire spirit in the first place, and restore its fire spirit body..."

When Jiao Qi heard this, his heart was sour again: "But...... But the boss has already ......"

The fifth old gentleman continued: "Or you can learn the secret art of fire spirit yourself, extract Jiao Ba's soul from this remnant spirit, and then make a new body for it. ”

"I ......" Jiao Qi hesitated slightly, then secretly made up his mind, and immediately knelt down to the fifth old man: "Fifth old man, no matter what the method is, as long as I can see Jiao Ba again, I am willing to do it!"

The fifth old gentleman helped Jiao Qi up and said, "You come with me first, and I'll take you to see some more things." Then the fifth old gentleman took Jiao Qi to the center of the circular square and asked Jiao Qi to sit down with his eyes closed.

"Tell me what you see now?" asked the fifth old gentleman.

"Nothing, just pitch black. Jiao Qi didn't know what the fifth old gentleman meant, so he had to tell his feelings truthfully.

The foreheads of the fifth old gentleman and Jiao Qi emitted red light at the same time, and two flints, one large and one small, were suspended in front of them. "And now?"

Jiao Qi saw a point of light in the darkness constantly magnifying until it filled his entire mind, "I see flames, boundless flames...... There was something round in that flame...... It looks like an egg, it's a crimson egg..... In the midst of a sea of fire. ”

The fifth old gentleman was awe-inspiring, and when he heard Jiao Qi's answer, his heart was surging, "I didn't guess wrong, he asked Mokpo to bring this kid back for another reason......

"Well, arise also, for we are already in the inner sanctum. The fifth old gentleman got the answer he wanted, and stood up first. “”

Jiao Qi opened his eyes, and everything in front of him was no different from the outer hall where they were just now, even the place where he and the fifth old man stood was still in the middle of the circular square. "But we haven't touched it at all?" Jiao Qi couldn't help but ask.

The fifth old gentleman smiled slightly, "You wait a little longer, take a closer look." ”

After a while, Jiao Qi noticed a subtle difference, and the dark red stone walls surrounding the square gradually brightened. No, that's not right, to be precise, it's a little spark lit up on the stone wall. Only then did Jiao Qi see clearly that the surrounding stone walls were full of dense grottoes, and in each grotto, there was a figure surrounded by flames, sitting with his eyes closed.

Jiao Qi could see the gods, "This ......"

"The inner sanctum is a place that only the Fire Clan can enter, and each Fire Envoy will leave their own Fire Stone in the temple after their succession, and when they die, their Fire Stone will shatter, leaving behind a wisp of remnant soul. What you see now are the remnants of our Fire Clan's ancestors, who once upon a time stood here like you and me. “

"All the successor fire envoys will leave the fire life stone here, what about the second boss Jiao, has he also been here before, is his fire life stone still there?" Jiao Qi asked.

The fifth old gentleman smiled and said, "In the inner hall, as long as you think about the fire messenger you want to see in your heart, he will appear in front of you, you might as well try it yourself."

Jiao Qi immediately silently recited the name of "gourd man" in his heart, and sure enough, a crimson figure came out of the cave in front of him and floated towards him.

Jiao Eryi was dressed in a strong suit, his face was expressionless, and he still looked familiar to Jiao Qi. In front of Jiao Qi, he took out a sharp red stone from his forehead, turned it into a fire gourd, and carried it behind him, and then bowed to Jiao Qi with a fist: "The 422nd patriarch of the Fire Clan, Yan Su, please advise." ”

Jiao Qi was overjoyed to see Jiao Er's Fire Life Stone, and finally knew that his Jiao Er's boss was still alive. From just now, Jiao Qi felt that something was not quite right when he saw Jiao Er's posture, and when he heard his three words "please advise" again, his heart was suddenly shocked.

In an instant, the fire gourd behind Jiao Er turned into a flaming long knife, slashing at him head-on, the speed of the action was unbelievable, where did Jiao Qi flash past, and at the last moment, the long knife hovered in front of Jiao Qi's forehead.

Then the long knife in Jiao Shuang's hand dissipated, and he bowed down: "Accept." ”

Jiao Qi was directly frightened in place, swallowed a mouthful of saliva silently, and his head was covered with cold sweat.

The fifth old gentleman was on the side, looking at all these in his eyes, and asked lightly, "Are you afraid?"

Jiao Qi was so frightened that you couldn't speak at all.

The five old gentlemen raised their hands, and the red tripod appeared in front of him again, and the five old gentlemen took out a red tassel spear from the red tripod, pointing directly at Jiao Er's remnant soul, and Jiao Er also sacrificed the long knife again, and stepped forward to slash head-on.

The fifth old gentleman walked alive, and a spear in his hand avoided the edge of Jiao Er's long knife like a swimming dragon, and the spear path was vertical and horizontal, and in an instant, it went straight to the vital point, and it was unstoppable. Jiao Er's long knife posture was wide open, and he couldn't take advantage of the spear that had both virtual and real, rigidity and softness, but was firmly occupied by the elderly five old gentlemen. The fifth old gentleman pretended to avoid the sharp retreat, took advantage of Jiao Er's pursuit, seized the opportunity, reflexively took advantage of the momentum, and poked the tip of the gun directly into Jiao Er's chest cleanly.

Jiao Er's remnant soul dissipated, and the fifth old gentleman said to Jiao Qi behind him: "The reason why you feel scared is because you don't have something in your heart that you want to protect. ”

Jiao Qi was stunned when he watched from the sidelines, he didn't expect that the fifth old gentleman would have such skills at such a young age.

"Since you are a fire envoy, you must also divide a strand of your soul and guard it in the temple. The fifth old gentleman turned around and walked in front of Jiao Qi, slammed his hand directly into Jiao Qi's forehead, and pulled out his fire life stone. The big one was pressed back on Jiao Qi's forehead by the fifth old gentleman, and the small one emitted a little red light, and a figure exactly the same as Jiao Qi appeared in front of him, this was Jiao Qi's own remnant soul.

"Guarding the palace, could anyone else attack here, isn't this place only accessible to the Fire Clan's clan?" Jiao Qi felt very strange about the fifth old man's statement.

Unexpectedly, Jiao Qi's remnant soul was different from Jiao Er's, as soon as he appeared, a raging flame ignited on his body, and he rushed straight towards Jiao Qi, not saying hello at all.

"It's... Is this me?" Jiao Qi couldn't believe his eyes.

"This is the real you in front of you, and you can only find your own strength by facing your own heart. The fifth old gentleman said on the side.

Jiao Qi has always used his thinness as an excuse that he can't win, but when he saw that it was clearly his own figure rushing towards him, he finally figured it out, "Yes, I have nothing to lose, if I can't even face myself, how can I protect what I want to protect." Jiao Qi thought so, a point of light floated in front of him, and then continued to grow larger, Jiao Ba's wolf-sized body appeared beside him, Jiao Ba's soul was actually in this temple! Jiao Qi's body also rose with flames, and they stepped forward together, scattering their remnant souls with one blow.

"If you want to restore Jiao Ba, there is only one way to go. If you choose this path today, then every step from now on will become more and more dangerous, and I will ask you one last time, do you take this road or not?" said the fifth old gentleman solemnly

Jiao Qi glanced at Jiao Ba beside him and nodded fiercely, "I want to decide my own life and protect everything I want to protect." ”

The fifth old gentleman smiled with relief on the side.
