Chapter 179: The Revived Suzaku Spirit
"Hey~ It's a pity, that day in Minyang Meilin, the remnant soul of the Vermilion Bird in this stone was destroyed by Zhu Zizhen. Otherwise, if I summon that Suzaku in the dark mountain forest, I can also rush in the dark. Looking at the blood-red stone in his hand, Li Ge muttered to himself.
At this moment, the small stone in Li Ge's hand suddenly trembled, and then automatically came out of his hand, flew straight above the bonfire, and floated above the flames.
Seeing the blood-red stone suddenly fly out of his hand, Li Ge was stunned for a while, and after a moment, a smile appeared on his face. Because at this moment, the Vermilion Bird Stone floating on the bonfire actually sucked the flames from the dead branches directly into the stone.
As the flames frantically burrowed into the Vermilion Stone, the bonfire, which could have burned for half an hour, turned into a pile of ashes in half an hour. After that, it fell into the ashes.
Seeing such a scene, Li Ge hurriedly picked up the Vermilion Bird Stone from the ashes, and tried to call out "Come out~" Immediately, the Vermilion Bird Stone turned into a fist-sized ball of fire, but it did not condense into the shape of a Vermilion Bird. After a few moments, the fire turned into a small stone and was held in his hand.
Although it has not been reformed, the smile on Li Ge's face has become thicker and thicker at this time. He hurriedly put away the Vermilion Bird Stone, found many dead branches at the edge of the mountain in the dark, and lit a bonfire at this time.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the small stone, which flew to the fire and frantically absorbed the flames of the bonfire.
After sucking up the flames of the five bonfires in succession, when the sixth bonfire was halfway burned, the small stone above the flame stopped absorbing the fireworks, and instead the stone body shook and transformed into a small vermilion bird the size of a sparrow, whose body was condensed by blood-red flames.
'Huh~' After the little Vermilion Bird re-transformed, it waved its fire wings and circled around the top of Li Ge's head.
"It's amazing that a few piles of bonfire flames can bring it back to life. Looking at the little Suzaku hovering beside him, Li Ge stood up violently, and then raised his hand to point to the fire in front of him, and shouted "Close~"
Immediately, the little firebird beside him let out a low cry, and then flew directly to the fire, and then, the flames burning in the firepit penetrated into the firebird's body in a frenzy. In less than two breaths, the flames burned out quickly and turned into a pile of ashes.
"If this Suzaku remnant soul can absorb the flames to recuperate itself, then absorb more flames, can it be strengthened?" Looking at the ashes on the ground, Li Ge's heart moved, and he found many dead branches and lit a bonfire.
Pile after pile of bonfires quickly dissolved under the absorption of the little Vermilion Bird, until it had absorbed more than ten piles of flames, and Li Ge next to it let out a long sigh, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
"The blood-red flame on Suzaku's body is not an extraordinary fire, and now I can use this mortal fire to help it recondense, but it can't make him absorb and strengthen. Hello ~ That's it. Muttering bitterly to himself, Li Ge looked up at the little Suzaku, a smile appeared on his face, and then he moved his steps and walked down the mountain by the light of the flames on Suzaku's body.
With the light emitted by the Suzaku, Li Ge walked through the mountains and forests as if it were day. Unconsciously, after he had crossed eight more mountains, and when he came to the halfway point of the ninth mountain, a strong cold air came directly to his face.
"Could it be that there are ghosts in this Penglai?" Feeling the gloomy aura in the mountains and forests, Li Ge paused, turned his head and glanced at the little Vermilion Bird flying beside him.
At this time, the firebird's whole body was still blood-red flames, but outside its body, it was glowing with a layer of green.
"Sure enough, there is a ghost, looking at the situation, it should be a ghost that can't hide his anger. Muttering to himself in his heart, Li Ge didn't stay long, and continued to catch up with the road.
In the inky darkness of the night, the whole mountain forest was silent, except for the creaking sound of Li Ge's footsteps on the fallen leaves. Just as he was about to climb to the top of the mountain, a gust of wind suddenly rolled up, blowing the branches and leaves of the forest with a rattling sound. At the same time, it also stopped his hurried footsteps.
"If you insist on entanglement with things that don't open your eyes, then I'll see what you want. With a secret sigh, Li Ge turned around as usual, and then glanced around.
After a circle to the ground, Li Ge finally stopped his gaze behind a large tree in the mountain forest.
I saw a faint light hidden behind the tree, which was cyan, but there was a faint blue in it.
"Come out, I see you. Seeing the blue light, Li Ge shouted at the tree.
After a short moment, the blue and blue light behind the tree swayed, and then an illusory ghost floated out from behind it.
I saw that this ghost was floating half a foot above the ground with his feet in the air, wearing a set of light yellow robes, and there was no hair on his head, obviously a great monk. I saw that this monk Mo was about thirty years old, with a kind face and kind eyes, and his hands were clasped together in front of his chest, looking quite a bit of a monk.
"Amitabha! The poor monk has practiced in this mountain, has not heard of anyone for several years, and today the Taoist friends have passed by, and the poor monk has specially appeared to pay a visit. The great monk floated to a distance of ten zhang from Li Ge and stopped, and the illusory spirit saluted him, spoke to the latter in a kind tone, and then moved his gaze to the little Suzaku hovering beside Li Ge.
"I see. Li Ge nodded and smiled slightly, and also raised his hand to salute back, seeing that the great monk was staring at his Suzaku, he immediately said, "I shouldn't disturb the mage Qing Xiu when I pass through here, I'll leave now." ”
"Friends of the Tao and slow!" The great monk saw that Li Ge was leaving, and hurriedly stopped him, and then laughed, and said, "The poor monk has a fate, and has been meditating in this mountain for more than ten years, during which few people have passed through this way, and I am fortunate to meet a Taoist friend today, I don't know if I can stay with the fate for a short time, and relieve my loneliness." ”
"It turned out to be Master Yuan, and I am fortunate to be lucky. Hearing the words of the remnant soul of this great monk, Li Ge quickly calculated in his heart, this mountain forest is vast and abnormal, although he had calculated before, he had not been able to get out of it after walking for so long. Now that he happened to encounter this ghostly thing, he must have known that he could get out of this mountain from that direction......
After thinking about it in his heart, Li Ge nodded, walked directly to the spirit of the great monk, stopped when he was about five zhang away from it, and said to himself, "Xiaodao Li Ge, I strayed into the mountains and forests and lost my direction, dare to ask the mage, in which direction do you have to go out of this mountain forest?"
Seeing Li Ge suddenly approaching, as if he was not afraid of himself at all, the spirit body of the Yuan Yuan hurriedly retreated a few zhang, and kept a distance of about ten zhang from him at this time, staring closely at the Suzaku who was following Li Ge's side, and secretly thought in his heart.
"This Taoist priest is not simple, he actually has the spirit of the Vermilion Bird, could it be that he is a disciple of the Five Directions Concept? No, if he is a disciple of the Five Directions Concept, how can he ask me how to get out of this mountain forest?"
