After Ye Linglong's reminder, everyone reacted that the few black pillars rising from the crater in front of them were not pillars of smoke, but real stone pillars!

Since it was a stone pillar, the location of the main altar palace of the feather department was about to be revealed, and everyone turned their eyes to the sky above. "Could it be that the palace is in that smoke in the sky?" Xiao Tianhe couldn't believe it.

"That's right! The name of the palace of the main altar of the feather department is 'Dust and Smoke Palace', and it is a palace in the sky supported by obsidian pillars!" Shi Hao said.

"That 'Lianxia Peak' refers to ......"

Shi Haoming explained: "It refers to the highest mountain in the distance ahead. The crater of Lianxia Peak is very large, so the obsidian pillar is also the thickest, and it is the support pillar in the center of the Dust and Smoke Palace. There is a main pillar in the east, west, south, north and middle of the palace, which is called the 'Optimus Pillar', and the corresponding five high mountains are collectively called 'Optimus Mountain'. ”

He Tianyao asked: "'Optimus Pillar'...... If one of them breaks by accident, won't the whole palace collapse?"

"Hahaha!" Shi Haoming laughed, "Those obsidian pillars were directly condensed by several legendary ancestors of the feather with the purest magma in the crater, and the pillars were covered with forbidden carvings, making the stone pillars extremely hard. Let's put it this way, even if multiple Nine Palace-level masters attack at the same time, they can't break the stone pillar. So the 'accidental breakage' that you are worried about is simply not going to happen. ”

"Such a powerful ......" He Tianyao was shocked.

Hua Qingyu said: "Then the Dust and Smoke Palace is shrouded in smoke and dust all day long, isn't it too uncomfortable......

Ye Linglong also agreed: "I don't like to live in this kind of place. ”

"Heh, you won't think that when you go up. Jin Chanyu said.

The group flew upwards, plunged into the endless smoke and dust, and continued to rise. Strangely, they were clearly in the smoke, but they did not feel the slightest discomfort. Although the view is blocked, the smell of smoke and dust is very "fresh", and the pungent smell that I smelled before is no longer smellable at all. It's not so much "smoke" as "fog", as if you are in a vast sea of clouds fairyland, which is wonderful.

"What's going on?" Xiao Tianhe couldn't help but be curious.

"The low altitude is full of dust, ash and smoke, and when you get high up, all that is left is the water vapor that is steaming from the geothermal heat. In simple terms, it's the cloud. The dust is heavy and light, forming a natural barrier at its junction, keeping the smoke and odor out below. Speaking of this, I have to admire the ancestors of the Yu clan for being able to think of such an ingenious way to set up a palace. Jin Chanyu's tone was full of admiration, "In addition, there is a formation barrier on the periphery of the Dust and Smoke Palace, so there is not even a trace of gray star in the palace. ”

Hua Qingyu and Ye Linglong glanced at each other, and immediately began to pat the dust that adhered to their clothes, and said, "Then don't make other people's palaces dirty!" This move caused several people to laugh in unison.

After flying in the thick fog for a moment, the outline of the Dust and Smoke Palace finally appeared. Because it is located in the air, the palace does not even have a wall, only Qionglou Yuyu, pavilions and pavilions can be seen. The lobby is spacious and majestic, the winding corridor is elegant and chic, and the high-level and low canals are beautiful. Looking at a staircase leading to the sky in the sea of clouds from afar, there is a curved pear pavilion silhouette looming in the high place; a wide platform in the clear fog is seen closely, and the flag can be heard on the side of the platform from time to time. As the so-called "Dust and Smoke Palace in the Clouds, the scenery is very different from the top", and it really lives up to its name. There is a poem as proof:

The vast sea of clouds appears,

The breeze whispers in your ears.

This palace is only for dreams,

Nothing is seen in the dust.

Just when everyone sighed again and again, suddenly there was a melodious cappella, the throat was clear and elegant, and the phoenix was chirping. The lyrics sung are:

"The clouds are light and the sky is clear,

Welcoming thousands of guests,

The jade is colored with the wind,

Lin Laiquan is in harmony.

Standing and waiting for the stageside,

Look through the endless smoke.

Joy at first sight,

Advise the gentleman not to be idle. ”

"What a song "Qingping Le"! Venerable Baiming's voice is like a heavenly sound, and he is spewing jade beads, admiring and admiring. Jin Chanyu said loudly.

"Master Jin, Kang has been waiting here for a long time. A greeting came from the clouds.

Shi Haoming introduced to several people: "Baiming Venerable Kang Shaoyan, good at singing, is a rare person in the demon clan who is proficient in rhyme, poetry and songs, piano, flute, zheng, flute, all come at your fingertips. His appearance is also handsome and chic, and his aura is magnificent, which is completely different from the temperament of a martial artist like us. Speaking of which, many women want to marry him in every possible way!"

"Do everything possible?" the two girls pouted in unison.

"Fortunately, he is a Venerable One, and he seems to be very strong. If it is an ordinary person, it is suspected of being exaggerated. I hate that guy the most. Ye Linglong said.

"Hey, you're wrong. Venerable Baiming is a straightforward person, easy-going, responsive, and never disgusting. Besides, it's not his fault that people are good-looking!" Shi Hao said.

Xiao Tianhe suddenly became happy: "Since it is 'responsive', then when facing those women who want to marry him in every possible way......"

"Heh, it's just that you can't just agree to it. Shi Hao said it clearly, and everyone laughed.

After clearing the clouds and fog, the group finally arrived at the Dust and Smoke Palace. At the moment of entering the isolation circle, the originally vague palace suddenly appeared clearly in front of everyone's eyes. The Dust and Smoke Palace is worthy of the reputation of "Wonderland in the Clouds", birds and flowers are fragrant everywhere, each hall and pavilion is connected by a covered bridge and a staircase, and the road is full of floating island flower beds full of flowers and plants on both sides, and there are rockeries and strange stones in the altar. There is a large garden located on a false hill, with trees, ponds, and a plank path leading to the garden, which spirals up the hill to the top of the octagon

Glazed Pavilion. As far as the eye can see, there are more than a dozen such rockeries, which have become the embellishment of the Dust and Smoke Palace, and the beautiful palace houses complement each other.

There is a wide square in front of the hall, and a square platform is built on the side of the field, and the five-sided feather tripod is placed in it. A handsome man is standing on the stage with his hands arched, his face is full of spring breeze, his smile is lovely, his face is fair, his lips are painted with vermilion, he is dressed in yellow clothes, his head is tied with a green scarf, and his waist is tied with a belt. Such a gentle man is indeed pleasing to the heart. As soon as he spoke, his voice was even clearer than what he had heard in the clouds and mist before: "Lord Jin, Shi Gongzi, Ao Gongzi, and all friends who have come from afar, Kang is polite." ”

After returning the salute, Kang Shaoyan said again: "Lord Lan and the Lord of the Stone Department are in the hall, and several other Venerables are also sitting together, I have been sent to greet you, please!"

Walking closer and looking up at the hall, everyone couldn't help but be impressed by its majestic momentum. After climbing the stairs of three sections and two platforms, several giant pillars are particularly eye-catching. The stone pillar is the color of mutton fat and white jade, and the colorful bird-like pattern is engraved on it.

The feathers of the bird on this pillar in the left corner of the temple gate are generally purple, except for the long feathers erected on the two foreheads and the tail feathers hanging behind it. The giant bird's jaw overlooked, a red beak slightly open, and the bright red eyes shone brightly. In addition to the long feathers on the forehead, there are two shorter feathers on the gills that sweep backwards. It stretched out its long wings, the edges of which were like flames, its feet were open, and it stepped on a huge rock, its two claws hooked long, its tail fanned out, and between the feathers floated two long tail feathers, as smooth as ribbons. Under the picture, two big characters are engraved - cormorants.

"Divine Bird Cormorant!" He Tianyao exclaimed.

"Brother Yao, do you know?" Xiao Tianhe asked.

He Tianyao nodded: "I used to see a book about strange birds and beasts in my father's study, which mentioned the cormorant bird, saying that its body is purple and black, and its sex is unyielding, and it is a bird with the same name as the phoenix." There are only words in the book, no pictures, it used to look like this, but unfortunately there is no way to copy or rub it now, otherwise it must be left as a souvenir. ”

"I can't imagine that there are records of such divine birds in the Great Red Realm......" Xiao Tianhe sighed, "How come you always know some strange things, and remember them so clearly......"

"Ha, I'm already a good reader. He Tianyao smiled and looked at the stone pillar on the other side.

The bird on the pillar on the right is in a cluster of flowers. Its neck, back, and tail feathers are orange, and its head, wings, and ventral feathers are yellow. There are three red feathers on the top of the head, and a mane feather hanging down from the neck, and its long tail feathers are like unkempt silk, and it is impossible to tell how many there are. The tail feathers have feathers at the ends, which are gorgeous. Written under the picture is the word "chick".

This name is very unfamiliar, and He Tianyao has not read it in a book.

Venerable Bai Ming smiled and proposed, "Since a few of you are interested in the Holy Ancestor Jade Pillar, I will take you around the main hall." ”

Hua Qingyu was very surprised: "Venerable, the material of this giant pillar is jade?"

"Yes. The Holy Ancestor Jade Pillar is mined from this piece of rock jade, which is a specialty of Chiliu Mountain, and its nature is warm and moist, and it can feel the splendor of Qiankun and the essence of heaven and earth. You can touch it. ”

Hua Qingyu touched it lightly: "Ah, it's hot!"

Several people were surprised and touched one after another, and sure enough, a warm feeling reached their hearts through the palms of their hands, and even their moods calmed down. Sure enough, it is a good jade, and it has the effect of stabilizing the mind!

"Back then, the holy ancestors 'pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar', and the eight worships were handed over. Therefore, with rock jade as a pillar, there is also the implication of hoping that the feather demon clan will unite as one. Venerable Bai Ming introduced.

Everyone followed him to the right side of the main hall, and after turning the jade pillar, a few people noticed that the original hall was not square, but with the jade pillar as the corner, it was five square. This third jade pillar is engraved with a large bird of light cyan. The bird bowed one knee and stood on the rough water, with its wings hanging down, its eyes sharp, two fluffy down feathers on the top of its head, floating sideways like waves, and two curly feathers at the end of its beak, one on the left and one on the right, like two elegant mustaches. Most of the feathers on its body are curled at the ends, and even the feathers on its tail feathers are in a curly shape. The two words under the picture are - "Qingluan".

Continuing from east to north, the jade pillar at the north end is engraved with a white giant bird with its wings spreading, with a boundless sea of stars in the background, and a bright moon shining in the sky behind the giant bird. Its head is like a crane, with a long feather stretched out from the back of its head, its neck is like a goose, slender and elegant, and its wings are like an eagle, majestic and mighty. The most beautiful is the tuft of tail feathers, which are as soft and light as ribbons, reflecting the bright moonlight and fluttering in the night sky. Ye Linglong even unconsciously let out a "wow" exclamation. Several people couldn't wait to look under the jade pillar, wondering what the name of this beautiful and elegant divine bird was, only to see the word "Honghu" in the book.

Xiao Tianhe praised sincerely: "I often hear that 'Honghu is ambitious', but I never know what 'Honghu' looks like." Looking at it today, how can such an otherworldly divine bird be nostalgic for the smoke and dust of the world?

After seeing the four jade pillars, several people praised and feasted their eyes, and they were even more looking forward to appreciating the sacred bird engraved on the last jade pillar. Before he got closer, he could see a fiery red and golden color on the pillar. Corresponding to the bright moon on the jade pillar of the Honghu Bird, this jade pillar is engraved with a round of scorching sun. The light was shining, shining on the divine bird below that was about to fly. I saw that the crown of the divine bird was like wish, and the skull was like a tassel. The eyes are slender and the gaze is like a torch. Spread your wings and raise your feet to raise the clouds. The tail feather flutters, shining all over. There is a horizontal branch at the bottom of the carving, and there are a few green leaves on it. With such an obvious appearance, the name of the divine bird is about to come out without looking at those two words - Phoenix!

"Jin Honghu, Mu Qingluan, Earth Bird Chick, Water Bulbe, Fire Phoenix. These are the five Holy Ancestors of my feather department. The five jade pillars are engraved with the true images of the five Holy Ancestors, symbolizing the sky in which they support the feathers. Venerable Baiming said.

Jin Chanyu suddenly smiled at Xiao Tianhe and said, "Young Master Xiao, don't you feel familiar after seeing this picture?"

"You mean that. Xiao Tianhe showed the fake Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Dagger. Sure enough, except for the color carving on the jade pillar, the patterns of the two are almost identical!

"Ah!" Venerable Bai Ming's eyes lit up, and he took a closer look, but he shook his head and smiled: "Xiao Gongzi's handle is a fake. I looked at the Five Holy Ancestors more than 10,000 times, and only after a cursory glance at this dagger did I find no less than twenty imitations that were defective. Although this fake cannot be said to be rough, the craftsmanship of the caster cannot be called 'exquisite'. ”

Xiao Tianhe admitted: "His Holiness is really sharp-eyed, my golden phoenix dagger is indeed a fake. ”

"That's good, I thought Xiao Gongzi was deceived by someone. ”

"Venerable, how can you see my craftsmanship?" Jin Chanyu said with a smile, her palm holding her golden phoenix dagger.

Venerable Bai Ming took it, first took a rough look at it, and seemed to say to himself: "This handle is imitated vividly, much better than Xiao Gongzi's handle." Well...... Hey...... ......After a deep groan, he exclaimed, "This is not a fake! This is the real spirit bird—the Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Dagger!"

"Why did His Holiness conclude that a fake can be made so realistically that it is difficult for anyone to be sure whether it is a fake or the real thing until the blood is known to the Lord and understands its efficacy? Jin Chanyu deliberately joked and refused to admit it.

"No, it's impossible!" Venerable Bai Ming's head shook like a rattle, "There is only one place on the Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Dagger, and it can't be imitated no matter what!"

"Oh?" Jin Chanyu became curious, it was the first time she had heard such a statement, "I beg His Holiness to teach me." ”

Several other people also came over curiously to take a closer look.

"'Teaching' is not a big deal. What I want to talk about below is the decisive basis for identifying the authenticity of the five spirit birds, and not many people know about it even among the feathers. Look at the tip of the right claw of this carved golden phoenix, you can see a little bit of white color. ”

A few people squinted their eyes to take a closer look, and sure enough, it was too white and too small to be seen even if they looked closely at the bright light. Jin Chanyu touched it lightly with her hand, and she could vaguely feel the feeling of convex grains.

"That's exactly the little nail grain that was cut from the tip of the golden phoenix dagger's claw. Very few people know this, and even if they do, they can't be copied anyway, so I dare to assert that the Lord of the Jin Department is deliberately testing me, this is the real Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Dagger!"

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a mystery on the dagger of the rising sun!" Jin Chanyu said.

"According to His Holiness, could it be that the Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Dagger was forged by the Phoenix Holy Ancestor?" Xiao Tianhe looked at the Phoenix Jade Pillar.

Venerable Bai Ming replied, "Definitely. The Phoenix Clan is not alone in the Saint Ancestor. The smith of the Golden Phoenix Chaoyang Dagger is the father of Lord Lan, and it is far from the age of the Holy Ancestor. When he cast the treasure, he referred to the pattern on the phoenix jade pillar, so the two are so similar. ”

Xiao Tianhe nodded: "I see." ”

"Venerable, you said that the 'Five Great Spirit Birds' all have this special mark on them?" Jin Chanyu asked again.

"As far as I know, it does. ”

Jin Chanyu took out the broken Night Dance Youchang Mirror again and took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a similar bump on the tip of the right claw of the Youchang Spirit Bird. It's just that the Youchang claw armor is also black with the body, so this mark is even more imperceptible.

"It turns out that the Western Spirit Bird is also in the hands of the Golden Master!" Venerable Bai Ming showed envy on his face, and then sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that this mirror is broken." Youchang Mirror is the main defense, there are not many treasures in the world that can be broken, if I guess correctly, I'm afraid that Youchang Mirror was destroyed by this Chaoyang Dagger, right?"

"Exactly. ”

Venerable Bai Ming's gaze still did not leave the broken Youchang Mirror, and finally shook his head, sighing three times in a row.

In this way, it seems that the "Five Great Spirit Birds" that are famous all in the magic weapon world are all cast by the demon clan, and the five treasure casting craftsmen are all from the feather department, which is really a great miracle.

"Okay, the five Holy Ancestor Jade Pillars have been seen, it's time to lead you to the hall. Lord Lan and Lord Shi have probably been waiting for a long time. Venerable Baiming led everyone back to the front of the hall again.

Stepping into the main hall is like entering a sea of feathers. On the walls and columns, colorful feather ornaments are dotted everywhere. Long, short, thick, thin, rigid, soft, all kinds of bird feathers compete with each other, making people dizzy. The few people who had just come to the main hall of the Dust and Smoke Palace looked around, looking left and right, and even forgot to greet the two demon kings. The two girls, in particular, didn't know which one to look at in the face of the splendid and delicate feathers.

Lan Xiaoning, the lord of the feathers on the main seat, saw the "gaffe" appearance of several people, not only covered his mouth and smiled, but then clapped his palms twice and shouted: "Take it up!"

Only then did a few people come back to their senses, hurriedly saluted Lan Xiaoning, and then took their seats.

Two people in the back hall walked into the front hall, each holding a tray with a beautiful and delicate feather crown on it. "I heard from the master of the stone department that there were two young girls coming together, so I ordered to go down and make these two Xia Yu phoenix crowns, I hope they like it. Lan Xiaoning said with a smile.

"Ah, no, no need to ......" "Lord Blue is polite......" The two girls writhed embarrassedly.

"The two girls don't have to be restrained, these two phoenix crowns are just things for fun, and they are not precious. You finally came to the Dust and Smoke Palace, and you were just a little courteous and a little heartfelt. Because the phoenix crown is gorgeous and gorgeous, a few sons forget it. But if you really want it, it's okay to add it to you. Lan Xiaoning joked.

"The master's kindness, I still understand it. Shi Haoming arched his hand.

The two demon kings on the main seat and the Eight Directions Venerables seated on both sides laughed in unison.
