50. The Bodhi Sutra (1)
Since the Misty Forest was known to be dangerous, everyone was extremely cautious before entering the forest again.
Water and food are bound to be prepared. In addition, they sent several waves of people to explore the way, marking and drawing maps along the way, in case they got lost in it again.
During the preparations, the people of the Central Plains Immortal Alliance received a letter from Dai An Peak, which explained the cause of the poison in the water of the Misty Forest, which was similar to what they had originally guessed.
thought everything was ready, but the last wave of pathfinders encountered the peacock, and only two survived. The two of them said that the divine bird was boundless, spitting flames from their mouths, and they actually had the ability to control thunder and lightning. This was not involved in the previous legend, so a group of people and others got together to discuss how to deal with the divine birds.
By the time everything was in order, it was already half a month later in early winter. This is very close to the deadline of the three-year truce agreement, and when they finish the matter here, I am afraid that the three-year agreement will be invalid, and it will be more logical for Yu Jun to see Jiao Shuyu at that time.
Yan Lin took Lin An to meet Xie Zhezhi and Duan Hong at the gate of Canglang Pavilion. They didn't bring anyone else, after all, when dealing with the Divine Bird, it was not that there were too many people to take advantage. But to Yan Lin's surprise, Yu Qiao'er actually followed, and she didn't know what method she used to persuade Xie Zhizhi.
The five of them met again at the entrance of the Misty Forest and Jiao Shuyu and Hangui. A group of seven people entered the misty forest together.
At this time, there was no hurricane at sea, and the fog was very thick, as soon as he entered the forest bank, he suddenly grabbed Yan Lin's elbow, Yan Lin was startled by him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I ...... I'm afraid I'm lost. ”
“...... How old are you to be so timid?"
Lin An replied honestly: "Anyway, it's younger than the leader." ”
Duan Hong glanced at them: "Shhhhhh
Jiao Shuyu on the side chuckled lightly and handed the merciful end to Lin An: "You can grab my whip, don't worry, you won't lose it." ”
"The girl is really beautiful and kind. Saying that, Lin An let go of Yan Lin, grabbed Jiao Shuyu's whip and smiled at Yan Lin.
Yan Lin touched his eyebrows, sighed and walked forward.
On the third day of walking in the forest, everyone heard the first cry of the divine bird, and thought that the divine bird had spotted them, and immediately hid behind a tree, but it was actually a false alarm. Yan Lin looked out from behind the trees, the fog was so thick that he could barely see anything unusual in front of him.
He took a few steps forward and lipsed to the man who was still hiding behind the tree, "I'll go ahead and take a look." ”
After speaking, I felt that someone had been patted on the shoulder, and when I turned my head, I found that it was Jiao Shuyu: "Let's go, let's go together." ”
Yan Lin and Jiao Shuyu approached cautiously, and after taking a few steps, the fog behind them had already hidden the others from being visible. Jiao Shuyu said: "Today's fog is thicker than last time. ”
"But it also helps us get closer to the mythical birds. Yan Lin looked nervous, his eyes staring ahead.
Jiao Shuyu handed the end of the Divine Whip of Compassion to Yan Lin at this time. Yan Lin was puzzled. Jiao Shuyu said: "Don't get separated. ”
The two of them were connected by Huai Min and slowly moved forward, and at this time there was another cry, and the two immediately stuck to the edge of the tree. It seemed that there was another false alarm, and Yan Lin let out a long sigh of relief.
Jiao Shuyu smiled and quipped him: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”
Yan Lin immediately blushed, and looked at the woman with a light smile beside her: "Miss Jiao still has to laugh at this time?"
"The more dangerous it is, the more you can't be nervous. Just be careful. ”
Yan Lin looked at it and stuck it next to the tree: "Miss Jiao came with me to explore the way, won't people suspect that we know each other?"
Jiao Shuyu said: "The Central Plains Immortal League has a hundred miles and Jiuzhai must have someone to follow, what is there to doubt." Be spying naturally, and if you are too careful, you will be suspicious. ”
"Yes, yes, you're more experienced. Yan Lin, whose face had been tense, laughed slowly.
The two quietly advanced for a while, and they finally saw the peacock and the Bodhi tree.
Yan Lin gasped, he never expected the Divine Bird to be so huge. The bird stood in front of the Bodhi Sacred Tree, and all it could see was its claws, sharp as a knife, gripping the earth deeply. Behind its crimson claws is its tail screen, which radiates a multicolored light. Other than that, the rest of the parts were hidden in the white mist due to their huge size.
Jiao Shuyu pointed to the extremely high place in the fog and said, "Look, there seems to be a light shining there. ”
Yan Lin also saw that the light source seemed to come from the sky: "Could it be its feather crown?"
"It's blue-green light, it's possible. Jiao Shuyu bowed.
Yan Lin patted Jiao Shuyu's arm: "Let's go, go back and tell them." ”
After Yan Lin and Jiao Shuyu went back, they told the group of seven people what they saw. They have improved the battle plan they had formulated before, and if everyone performs their duties according to this plan, they will not worry about not being able to defeat the Divine Bird.
Duan Hong was a little impatient: "Let's go." ”
They spread out and walked around, waiting for the whistle to blow at their respective agreed positions. However, when they were scattered, Yu Qiao'er found an opportunity to get close to Yan Lin and whispered to him, "Be careful Xie Zhezhi." After speaking, he followed Xie Zhezhi to the left side of the divine bird, leaving Yanlin in doubt.
"What's wrong?" asked Lin An as he tiptoed over.
Yan Lin came back to his senses: "It's okay. ”
Yan Lin and Lin An were in a group, and the two of them drew their swords early, one after the other, waiting for the whistle. As if the air was stagnant, even Lin An didn't dare to speak anymore.
The whistle burst out, followed by a cry from the peacock, a mythical bird, piercing the sky. I saw that in mid-air, seven people flew up at the same time. In an instant, the light of the artifact dispelled the nearby fog, and the entire divine bird appeared in front of him.
The feathers around the bird are snow-white, and the back is bulging, like a snow-capped mountain. The slender neck was thrown around like a divine whip, and the powerful impact carried the wind, and the seven of them did not dare to take it hard, and they turned over to dodge it with their magical powers.
Before the seven of them could stand firmly, flames erupted from the mouth of the divine bird, and the burning sensation suddenly rose. Wherever the flames went, the ancient trees immediately turned to scorched earth. Yan Lin didn't have a chance to see who was standing next to him at all, so he said quickly: "Let's go and poke the eyes of the blind birds." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two of them soared into the air. I saw that Yan Lin's gurgling sword flashed with a cold white light, clearing the black mist in a sea of fire, and the whole person pierced the eyes of the divine bird like an arrow that had just left the string. But what Yan Lin didn't expect was that just as the gurgling sword was about to stab the divine bird, the person who jumped up with him suddenly changed direction.
That man's sword turned out to be Yan Lin!
Jumping up with Yan Lin was Xie Zhizhi. Yu Qiao'er had already reminded Yan Lin that Xie Zhizhi wanted to be unfavorable to him, but Yan Lin didn't expect Xie Zhizhi to make a sudden move when he should have worked together.
Yan Lin in mid-air had no way to change direction, and he was almost resigned to his fate in shock. At this time, Huai Min suddenly wrapped the sword in Xie Zhizhi's hand, and Jiao Shuyu scolded angrily: "Despicable!" With a force in his hand, he kicked Xie Zhizhi behind him while grabbing Xie Zhizhi's sword.
Yan Lin didn't have time to see what the result would be, because his sword had already pierced the eye of the divine bird. The divine bird roared, and suddenly the feather crown on its head turned into three giant thorns, shooting straight like a swallow forest. Yan Lin kicked on the beak of the divine bird and tried to pull out the sword, but the whole person lost his center of gravity and fell from the air.
It must be known that the divine bird is huge, higher than most of the trees in the forest, and Yan Lin was at least seriously injured when he fell like this. At this time, he felt that his back was gently brought, and he found that it was the cold that gave him some strength. With this push of Han Gui, Yan Lin was able to regain control of his body. He rolled twice in the air and landed on an ancient tree.
He didn't see Xie Zhezhi's figure, and he didn't know if he had been subdued by Jiao Shuyu. In the blink of an eye, he knew that Xie Zhezhi was probably still suspicious that he had an inexplicable relationship with Yu Qiao'er, so he made a murderous move.
Before he had time to think about it, the people around him were all trying to fight under the fury of the divine bird.
Lin An rolled on the ground as the crest of the feathers of the Divine Bird stabbed at him.
In mid-air, Jiao Shuyu and the divine bird were fighting. The Divine Whip of Compassion suddenly wrapped around the neck of the Divine Bird, and as soon as Jiao Shuyu's hand was forced, the Divine Bird could no longer spray flames.
This is the best time to deal with the divine bird, Yan Lin was about to raise his sword, but he suddenly saw a cold light flashing behind Jiao Shuyu, it was Duan Hong attacking Jiao Shuyu behind his back.
These people have ghosts in their hearts, but they didn't expect Duan Hong to be the one who wanted to kill Baili Jiuzhai at this time!
This scene was not only seen by Yan Lin, but also seen by Yu Qiao'er, who was closer. Yu Qiao'er was furious in her heart, and she was about to pull Duan Hong's attack from behind.
At this moment, I saw that the divine bird suddenly opened the screen, and the ten-colored light was extremely dazzling, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the light dyed the dark clouds into color. Suddenly, lightning shot out from the end of the screen, densely circulating. At that moment, the light of lightning almost blinded people, and Yan Lin could only use his hearing to sense whether there was danger coming.
He heard screams around him, perhaps struck by lightning. He didn't even have time to make out the details before he felt that he was also hovering on the edge of danger, and immediately ducked behind a tree. Immediately followed by the sound of lightning striking the trees, saying that it was too late, then quickly, Yan Lin immediately rushed forward to leave the trees, even if it was a moment too late, he would be burned under the impact of lightning along with the trees.
The moment he landed, Yan Lin was in a trance, he couldn't feel the passage of time, and he didn't know how long he had been on the ground. When he came back to his senses, there was a deathly silence around him, as if all the thrill he had just experienced was a dream.
Yan Lin struggled to get up, he didn't seem to be hurt, but what about the others?
At this time, the mist surrounded him again, and it seemed that he was the only one in the entire forest.
"Miss Jiao. Suddenly, he muttered, leaning against the woods and searching.
He searched for a long time before he heard a woman's groan nearby, and he hurriedly followed the sound. The fog was heavy, and it was vaguely obvious that two people were sitting under a tree.
Yan Lin couldn't see it until he was very close.
He let out a long sigh of relief, it was Jiao Shuyu and Yu Qiao'er.
