Chapter 176: The Mysterious Old Man's Entrustment

Lan Yu pondered for a moment, and saw that Nie Ya stopped talking, so he slowly explained: "Father, I'm also afraid that you will be unhappy!"

"Oh?" the Heavenly Fire Phoenix's eyes widened, staring at Blue Feather.

Lan Yu continued: "The Phoenix clan and the human race are married, this, she ......"

Lan Yu opened his mouth, as if panting, and jumped out word by word, for fear that his father would be unhappy if he said the wrong word.

Tianhuo Phoenix suddenly laughed and giggled: "It's not easy for you to marry a wife! Don't look at people who are human races, and their strength is not below your brothers, people can sacrifice themselves to you, that is your great blessing, okay, this matter is decided like this, don't say more." ”

"Yes," Blue Feather trembled and lay on the thick plane leaves.

The Heavenly Fire Phoenix ordered Huo Yu to go down to prepare for the marriage of Lan Yu and Diao Ruoyi, and repeatedly asked Diao Ruoyi's opinion, and saw that Diao Ruoyi did have a good heart with Lan Yu, so he put down his heart and said to Nie Yan: "I heard that you are Lan Yu's friend, and you were hunted down by the Terrans, I don't know why?"

Nie Yan smiled, stretched out his right hand, and released a cloud of black qi, which was translucent in the black.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Fire Phoenix was shocked and asked, "Are you here to borrow the Lethe Stone?"

Nie Ya nodded.

The Heavenly Fire Phoenix clapped its hands and flew in a few phoenixes from outside, and the Heavenly Fire Phoenix said to them: "Bring all the delicious food and drink, and entertain the guests well." ”

The phoenixes nodded in agreement.

Tianhuo Phoenix said: "Several, if you need anything, just tell them, I will take Little Brother Nie to see Lethe Chuan Stone first." ”

Everyone hugged their fists and sent each other, Nie Ya flew out of the hall with the Tianhuo Phoenix, and the Tianhuo Phoenix ordered a phoenix to drive the dragon chariot and go to the bottom of the mountain with Nie Ya.

Through the dense clouds, there is still a bamboo forest under the mountain, and the bamboo is the same color up and down, as red as fire.

When Nie Ya got out of the dragon car, he saw that it was Huo Yu who sent them, and he had the heart to ask why it didn't go to prepare for Lan Yu's wedding, but the Heavenly Fire Phoenix preemptively said: "Little Brother Nie, we have arrived, and the Lechuan Stone is in the valley in front." ”

Nie Ya glanced ahead, through the dense bamboo forest, in front of it is a valley, the stone walls on both sides are colorful, and the valley reflects thousands of rays of light.

Nie Ya smiled: "There is the Patriarch of Lao Tianhuo. ”

Tianhuo changed at this time, turning into a long-looking person, with a white beard in his hands, slightly collapsed cheeks, slightly high cheekbones, a slight wrinkle on his forehead, a regular nose and a water chestnut mouth, a slight smile, and amiable.

Although it has become a human form, it has a lot of fist calluses on its hands, which shows that it cultivates day and night, and is not lazy for a day.

Tianhuo turned around and said to Huo Yu: "You wait here first, and I'll accompany Little Brother Nie in." ”

The phoenix nodded, but did not speak.

Nie Ya walked into the valley with the Heavenly Fire Phoenix, the cold air in the valley was pressing, and there were clear springs flowing down from the mountains, gathering in one place, like a small lake, and in the calm water, there was a colorful light.

Nie Ya knew at a glance that this light was not emitted by Qing Shui, but by a stone.

The boulder was crystal clear, shaped like a golden bell, and had six sides, each with a different color distribution, but all of them had five colors. Half sunk in the water and half exposed.

Nie Yan pointed to the stone and asked, "This is the Lethe Stone?"

The Heavenly Fire Phoenix shook his head and said, "This is a multicolored crystal, the Lechuan Stone is in the valley behind it, and come with me." ”

Nie Ya followed it, bypassed the multicolored crystals, and continued to walk forward for a while, seeing that the valley was full of multicolored crystals, and after walking for another while, the spring gradually dried up, and a clearing became under his feet.

Nie Ya and Tianhuo fell to the ground one after another, stepping on the soft fine sand, and slowly moving forward.

Right now, it's a slow slope, and the terrain is getting higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye, it seems to be halfway up the mountain.

Tianhuo Phoenix smiled: "Originally, there were a lot of phoenixes living here, and Lan Yu often came here to play when he was young. ”

Nie Yan said: "I've heard a little, I don't know ...... now"

The Heavenly Fire Phoenix didn't wait for Nie Ya to ask, and preemptively said, "The Lethe River Stone is a secret that shouldn't be known, so I invited them all to be taken elsewhere. ”

Nie Ya was puzzled and asked, "Since it's a secret, isn't it better that I'm not the Patriarch of the Heavenly Fire either?"

Tianhuo smiled, waved his hand towards Nie Ya, and said, "It's okay, you listen to the old man, I and you will talk slowly." ”

Nie Yan listened attentively, and the Heavenly Fire Phoenix said: "Ten thousand years ago, Lechuan Shi was not in my clan, at that time the demon world had just finished the war, and the old patriarch Feihong was unfortunately killed by the dog demon, and my Phoenix clan was in danger here, fortunately rescued by an old man. ”

It suddenly sighed, and then said: "I'm not afraid of you laughing when I say it, old man, I still don't know whether the old man is a human or a demon! I only know that his skills are superb, and with his own strength, he quelled the war of the demon clan, and supported me to become the patriarch of the Phoenix clan, and also explained me one thing. ”

Nie Yan listened, and the Heavenly Fire Phoenix gradually stopped, and there was a boulder in front of him, five zhang high, shaped like a small mountain peak, with words engraved on it.

The Heavenly Fire Phoenix pointed to the boulder and said, "This is what the old man told me. ”

Nie Ya suddenly saw three big characters written on the boulder: "Lethe River Stone", and there was a column of small words in the lower left corner: "The Fish-Man Patriarch is Evil." ”

Nie Yan looked at the Heavenly Fire Phoenix in confusion and asked, "Evil Tooth, the patriarch of the Fish-Man Clan, who is it?"

Tianhuo Phoenix said: "It is written clearly, the patriarch of the fish-man clan!"

Nie Yan muttered, "I didn't expect that there were still fish-people in the world. Are they all the same as the Phoenix?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the Heavenly Fire Phoenix shook his head and said, "Whether there is really a fish-man clan in the world, I don't know, and I don't know all the words recorded on this Lethe Stone. What the old man explained to me back then was to give this Lethe Stone to a young man with innate Yin Soul Power, I think that young man should be you, right?"

Nie Ya shook his head and looked at the Lethe Stone with a dull gaze.

The Heavenly Fire Phoenix continued: "Before the old man left, he sighed and said, 'Hey, it's a pity, when the young man came here at the beginning of the year, I am afraid that it will also be the day when the deadline is approaching. I really couldn't understand what the great limit was, so I asked him, 'What is the coming time?' and the old man said, 'The great limit is the time of death.' I asked the old man, 'Why did you give him this stone when it was the time of death?' The old man laughed and did not answer, but said something strange, and said, "Not only is his limit approaching, but so is yours, and if you can help him to get this stone as soon as possible, you may avoid calamity, but if not, no one will be able to save you!"

Nie Yan looked at Lechuan Shi and said: "The Heavenly Fire Patriarch has cultivated day and night because of this, and now his skills are second to none in the immortal dust, and there are many heroes in the Phoenix Clan, I think even if the Heavenly Master Dao Ancestors of the Human Race go together, they can't help the Phoenix Clan." ”

The Heavenly Fire Phoenix smiled and nodded, and said, "Having said that, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, not to mention that the biggest enemy of my Phoenix clan is not humans, but the demon clan." As the saying goes: 'Thirteen buildings of the demon clan, each building costs human life!'"

Nie Ya nodded, he knew that the biggest opponents in the world were often within his own race. Just like himself, the people who want to capture him the most and ask him for his life are not the demon clan, but those human beings.

Tianhuo Phoenix said again: "I have already cultivated my soul power to the point of the Nine Heavens through the fire bathing technique, but compared with the old man back then, there is still a world of difference, but I have no other way to improve my soul power, even if I reluctantly use the Yang Pole Method, it has little effect, so I simply began to cultivate qi and cultivate my soul." ”

When it said this, it suddenly became proud, and with its hands behind its back, it paced back and forth under the Lethe Stone to show that it was at ease, and then said: "Don't say it, now my strength is not under the soul power, and I have a thousand souls to protect my body, and when that calamity comes, I will make the heavens take it by surprise." ”

Nie Ya nodded and said, "What the Heavenly Fire Patriarch said is right, cultivators will be able to conquer the heavens, I categorically don't believe in heaven's will, and I won't accept my fate." Today, I have to forget the Sichuan Stone, and I will also try my best to understand the secrets and help the Tianhuo Patriarch as soon as possible, but also to help myself and overcome the approaching limit. ”

The Heavenly Fire Phoenix giggled, and talked happily with Nie Ya, very proud.

At this moment, a phoenix flew in from outside the valley.
