Chapter 49: Stealing Eggs
The next day, Lu Yanning went to Tongwei Hall to see the master, and then was arranged to manage the outer disciples.
said that it was management, but in fact, he didn't have to take care of it, because there were people at the bottom who were in charge, and he also had a deeper understanding of the affairs and operations within the sect in the process, and occasionally had time to answer the cultivation questions of the outer disciples.
So in addition to the first two or three days will be busy, there is really nothing to do with him in the future, just go down the mountain every three or four days to answer questions, and there is nothing that he needs to do.
There's no way, he's so capricious!
Every day, in addition to cultivation and cultivation, or going around everywhere, I also got to know a few disciples from other veins.
On this day, the second senior brother Ou Xuanxi found Lu Yanning, "Little junior brother, isn't it boring to practice every day?"
Lu Yanning smiled, "It's okay, I'm learning how to enjoy loneliness, and I hope to condense my Dao heart as soon as possible." I also want to thank my brother for the strange flowers that day for me, which made me understand a lot of things, at least now I am not confused. ”
"You and my senior brother are polite. Ou Xuanxi smiled and patted Lu Yanning's shoulder and asked, "How is Senior Brother's Ling Yunyi cultivation?"
"There's nothing wrong with a simple flight, is there anything I need to do, Senior Brother?" Lu Yanning asked with a smile.
Ou Xuanxi smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Little junior brother, your eyesight is really good!"
Lu Yanning "......"
Senior brother, what is the good thing you wrote on your face! Can I not see it?
However, Lu Yanning's emotional intelligence is not high enough, but he will not say it to his face, he just thinks about it in his heart, and said with a smile, "Senior brother has something to say directly, junior brother, do I dare to do my best?"
Ou Xuanxi said with a mysterious face: "I'll take you to find a good thing." ”
Lu Yanning "???"
Boss, you're not usually this character, can't you say something directly?
"Let's go, say on the way!" Ou Xuanxi pulled Lu Yanning over, threw out the jade jian, and the two flew away. I saw Ou Zhiyuan and Li Ruer in the courtyard with envy.
In the sky, Lu Yanning asked, "Senior brother, let's talk about it, why are you going?"
"Well, there is a mountain on the north side called the Bird's Nest. It's not that it looks like a bird's nest, but that there are many birds in the mountains, and all kinds of birds live in their own territory. Among them, there is a bird called the phoenix bird, don't get me wrong, it's not a phoenix, it is said that there is a trace of phoenix blood, which was introduced by a certain generation of ancestors in the past. Seeing that Lu Yanning was listening to himself carefully, Ou Xuanxi continued to explain.
Only then did Lu Yanning understand that in the past, the ancestor wanted to refine the phoenix bloodline from this phoenix bird, in order to refine an elixir that could make people have the ability to resurrect.
I have to say that there are really a lot of people with big brains in the cultivation world, and there is no shortage of various magical means, so they can refine magic weapons and appliances with special functions such as Star Hidden Beads and Lingyun Wings. From this point of view, practitioners are actually real scientists and inventors! Even if we don't mention these, historical inventions such as wooden oxen and horses, gunpowder, compasses, geodynamic instruments, and so on are also great.
However, even if the idea is good, it may not always be realized. The alchemy of the phoenix bloodline extracted from the phoenix bird failed, but the phoenix bird also thrived in the cave world and survived, while the phoenix bird on the earth was extinct.
Moreover, the phoenix bird that survived in the cave world has also mutated due to the change of the rules of heaven and earth. What was originally the size of a pheasant has become a bird of prey larger than an ostrich on Earth.
According to Ou Xuanxi, these are not the point. The point is that the phoenix eggs are particularly special and delicious!
Not only is it delicious, but the aura and germinating power contained in it are of great help to practitioners.
It's just that the phoenix bird meat is not very delicious, and it lives on the hanging house, and ordinary people really can't get it, otherwise they are afraid that they will be killed and extinct.
"Senior brother, we're going...... Grab eggs?" Lu Yanning asked with some incredulity.
Ou Xuanxi glanced at Lu Yanning, "To maintain the ecological balance, do you know that the phoenix bird has no natural enemies in the cave world, if you don't kill some, it will be easy to flood." This quest is given to the faction every year, but it just won't be killed. Although this year's mission has not yet been released, wouldn't it also reduce the difficulty of the tasks of the same door later if we directly steal some eggs?"
Well, it makes sense, Lu Yanning was speechless.
"Okay, then, senior brother, what should we do?" Lu Yanning was sure that there was no natural enemy, but he was afraid that it would not be easy to provoke.
Ou Xuanxi smiled, "It's very simple, I'll lure the phoenix bird away, and you go and steal the eggs." But don't finish stealing, just take half of the eggs in each nest. ”
Lu Yanning thought for a moment and said, "Senior brother, there is a problem, my storage ring space is too small, I can't hold many eggs, and the eggs laid by a bird as big as an ostrich are not small, right?"
"Don't worry, I've been prepared, take it!" Ou Xuanxi said as he handed a palm-sized bag to Lu Yanning, explaining, "This is a storage bag, there is about three cubic meters of space in it, you can use it after a simple sacrifice, and I will give it to you." ”
Well, I haven't done any work yet, so I just got a storage bag with a blank space, and it's still such a big space. Lu Yanning learned from Qian Duoduo that the general storage bag space is only one foot cube to three feet cube, but what he has in his hand now is nearly one zhang cube!
It's just a fly in the ointment, this storage bag generally can't recognize the owner, and it is usually the user who puts a ban on it. Well, Lu Yanning will not ban it at all, as long as it can be used at present, as for the ban, it can only be said later.
This time, even if he didn't steal a bird's egg, he didn't lose anything.
Seeing that Lu Yanning didn't ask any more questions, Ou Xuanxi didn't say anything more, and concentrated on the imperial envoy Yujian's flight.
After a while, in the distance, I saw a high mountain, on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, with Lu Yanning's eyesight, he could easily see some birds flying.
Ou Xuanxi slowed down and said to Lu Yanning, "Little junior brother, we can't fly directly to the top of the mountain, the phoenix bird's territorial awareness is still very high, and if you fly directly over, you will be attacked." We first went halfway up the mountain, and then we dived up. ”
"Okay. Lu Yanning heard the subtext and remembered his stealth technique, which might come in handy.
The two found an open place to land halfway up the mountain, and Ou Xuanxi advised, "Don't pay attention to other animals on the road, avoid them if you can, our goal is phoenix eggs!"
Lu Yanning nodded, "Understood!"
Along the way, the most animals encountered were all kinds of birds, fierce and gentle, and some snakes. Regarding snakes, Lu Yanning knows that snakes will also steal birds' eggs! Of course, they will also eat birds.
It's just that Lu Yanning doesn't know many birds.
When they were about to reach the place where the phoenix bird was, the two stopped. Lu Yanning thought of another question, "Senior brother, you go to lure away the phoenix bird, and I go to steal the eggs, and then what?"
"What, then?" Ou Xuanxi said as a matter of course, "and then, of course, we will return with a full load!"
"Uh, you're going to let me walk all the way back by myself?"
"Aren't you flying?"
......
The two of them stared wide-eyed.
Lu Yanning was a little speechless and said, "Senior brother, with my current cultivation, can I fly so far?"
"Uh......", Ou Xuanxi thought for a moment, "Then after you finish stealing, wait for me halfway up the mountain." I'll pick you up after I've got rid of the phoenix. ”
Lu Yanning thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he picked up the stealth technique, touched it, and waited for the opportunity to move.
Ou Xuanxi flew up, not with a jade jian, but with Lingyun wings. Good guy, compared to Lu Yanning, that speed is simply the difference between a turtle and a rabbit! Of course, Lu Yanning is the turtle.
Ou Xuanxi, who flew up, saw a phoenix bird's nest and slapped it in the air, startling a phoenix bird, and when he saw someone attacking, the phoenix bird flew up and grabbed Ou Xuanxi with a chirp.
It's just that Ou Xuanxi is extremely flexible in the air, and his speed is extremely fast, and the phoenix bird can't catch him at all.
In the blink of an eye, Ou Xuanxi lured away more than a dozen phoenix birds in this area, and more phoenix birds in the distance were alarmed and flew into the air to hover.
Lu Yanning saw that the phoenix bird was led away, and quietly touched it. Although the bird's nest is built on a cliff, he can't stop him with his Lingyun wings and eight-step cicada chasing method. It's just that stealth is not used.
The first bird's nest, empty.
Lu Yanning is not surprised, it is impossible to have eggs in every bird's nest, this is normal. Turning and heading towards another bird's nest, a little farther away, he spread his wings and flew over.
A litter!
Lu Yanning counted them, and there were six phoenix bird eggs the size of grapefruits, pale cyan, and they also exuded a faint aura fluctuation. didn't say anything, just took three and left!
I don't have time to take a closer look now, so I'll take it and talk about it later. Thinking about the phoenix bird's sharp claws, Lu Yanning was still a little scared, he was not Ou Xuanxi, he didn't have such a high level of cultivation.
But then, Lu Yanning searched several bird's nests but didn't find anything, but saw a nest of chicks.
Unconsciously, Lu Yanning searched more than 20 bird nests, and only got a total of nine phoenix eggs, calculating the time consumed, he was a little anxious.
Suddenly, Lu Yanning found a cave, and without thinking much about it, he walked in directly, but he didn't expect a chirp to come out, which startled him a lot. Without hesitation, Lu Yanning turned around and ran, fortunately, he only took two or three steps into the hole, and after he got out of the hole, he immediately subconsciously took a step to the side, thinking about hiding at the entrance of the cave to see the situation.
This subconscious step saved his life. After he took one step to the side, a figure rushed out of the cave with a fast touch on his body. If he slowed down by a point, no, even by half a point, he would have been knocked out by this time.
A phoenix bird that was one size larger than the average phoenix bird flew out, circled around and flew towards Lu Yanning, seeing the fierce large phoenix bird, Lu Yanning took out the lightning strike jujube wood sword given by Qian Duoduo from the ring, and was about to deal with the phoenix bird's catch, but when he saw the rushing phoenix bird chirping, he opened his mouth and a flame sprayed out!
"Wow,!" Lu Yanning let out a strange cry and rushed directly into the cave, he didn't have time to scold the second senior brother for that pit, the phoenix bird could breathe fire! The second senior brother didn't tell him such important information!
