Chapter 93: The Flower of Demon Metallurgy
Yue Hengtang was looking at the brocade box on the table, and suddenly felt a tightness in his back, Ye Liannu said gloomily: "You have lost your strength, you will definitely not be able to kill me with one punch, but my poisonous needle, if it is sent out, it will be incurable, you have to think about it carefully, and listen to my dispatch honestly." β
As he spoke, his eyes were cold, and he shouted at Tu Meng: "You hurry up and open the brocade box, otherwise I will poison the Emperor first." β
Tu Meng couldn't figure out the situation, so he had to raise his hands and say, "Miss Ye, you are the immortal concubine of the Peerless Emperor, you are all your own people, don't joke." Squeezing his face and smiling, "If you do it, it will be murdering your husband." β
Goddess Ye Lian was awe-inspiring and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, go and open the brocade box." "Raise your hand to shoot a tube of poisonous needles.
Tu Meng hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impulsive, I'll open the brocade box." He was afraid of hurting Yue Hengtang, so he hurriedly ran to the square table, raised his hand to take the jet-black brocade box, and muttered in his mouth: "I'll just say, you can't mess with anyone and the little witch, the immortal clan elder chose this family affair for the absolute emperor, and he didn't have a good heart!"
When his fingers touched the lid of the box, a cold air suddenly came out, so cold that Tu Meng shivered, and couldn't help but say: "Is this made of thousand-year-old ice, the evil one, and Lao Tzu's hand is about to freeze off." He stretched out his fingers and tried to lift the box hard. But it took him a long time to exert himself, no matter how hard his hands tried, the brocade box did not move at all, and it was difficult to move it.
The white flower pattern on the lid of the box shone with a porcelain light, Tu Meng looked at it carefully, shook his head and said: "This lid seems to be embedded in it, and it can't be taken off." β
The brocade box is like a thousand catties of weight, if the power is still there, it may be able to be opened. But at this time, he only had the strength of a mortal, and he couldn't even move the lid of the box a little.
Yue Hengtang said with a smile: "Xiao Ye, you can't take this box away, and you can't open it, don't waste your efforts." β
Ye Liannu was already impatient, seeing that Tu Meng couldn't hold the brocade box, and she didn't know whether it was true or false, but she didn't dare to let go of the poisonous needle, lest Yue Hengtang fight back.
She looked uncertain, gritted her teeth tightly for a while, and said: "I don't care if I can take away the brocade box, as long as I can take your head, the great revenge can be avenged......!"
The poisonous needle "swished" out, and Tu Meng reacted and exclaimed, "Absolute Emperor!"
Yue Hengtang's body shook, and then he slowly turned around, facing Ye Liannu and stood still.
The corners of Ye Liannu's mouth twitched, and she looked at him a little unbearably, "You...... Don't blame me for being ruthless. β
Yue Hengtang sighed lightly, looked at her with a kind of pity, and after a while, he flicked his sleeves with his backhand and pulled out five black poisonous needles from his back.
Ye Liannu saw that he did not fall to the ground in response, and his face did not change, she was shocked, and pointed at him with a poisonous needle and said, "The poisonous needle I used is the ...... of Luofu Mountain."
"It is the Luofu Mountain rush grass and the yin root of the Wu clan, which is made into a medicinal slurry with rice wine, soaked in cold magnets for three years, polished into a poisonous needle, and the throat is sealed with blood, and there is no cure. Yue Hengtang said lightly, his eyes were determined, without a trace of fear.
"You...... You...... How do you know why the poison doesn't work against you?" Ye Liannu stammered a little, staring at Yue Hengtang, as if she saw a monster.
"If I am poisoned by you with a needle, I am not worthy of being the Kunlun Emperor. Yue Hengtang said indifferently, picked up the poisonous needle and shook it in front of Ye Liannu's eyes: "As long as it is a poison in the immortal realm, it will not poison me." β
At this time, Tu Meng stepped forward with an arrow, twisted Ye Liannu's arm fiercely, and scolded crookedly: "Little ladies who eat inside and out, do you think that the Absolute Emperor grew up as a vegetarian and let you be poisoned? β
Ye Liannu didn't resist, she just stared at Yue Hengtang in shock, seeing that the poisonous needle couldn't kill him, she couldn't believe her eyes, and asked inexplicably, "Why is this happening?"
"Do you know who the most poisonous person in the Immortal Dao Realm is?" Yue Hengtang turned his head to look at the brocade box on the table, and said lightly for a while: "It's the Moon Immortal and the Witch Spirit King." Xiao Ye, it must be the Wu clan who gave you the recipe for the poison needle, and asked you to take my head to join them, and then they helped you kill the Heavenly Demon to take revenge. β
Ye Liannu's face was pale, her eyebrows were raised, and she nodded and said, "That's right, I want to defect to the Wu Clan." Anyway, I can't kill you this time, it's in your hands, and it's up to you what you want. My little leaf skills are not as good as others, so I have nothing to complain about. β
Yue Hengtang asked Tu Meng to let go of her and said, "Your goal and I are both to fight against the Heavenly Demon, so I won't kill you." As for the Wu Clan, you have your own territory, there is no need to get involved in the battle between the Immortal Clan and the Heavenly Demons, they are just using you to make trouble in the Immortal Clan......"
Before the words fell, he suddenly turned his hand and threw out his sleeves to a corner, "whoosh" A few strong winds shot over, five poisonous needles pierced into the double arched wooden door, the figure pretending to be Tu Meng flickered, dodged out from the crack in the door, and then laughed: "Yue Hengtang, you didn't expect it, I'll seal you inside, never want to go out!"
The arched wooden door suddenly twisted and instantly turned into a shiny bronze mirror.
Ye Liannu's face immediately changed greatly, and she hurriedly leaned over and threw herself under the table, but saw that a bronze mirror was also sealed at the entrance of the tunnel.
She gritted her teeth and clammed her fists into the ground and shouted, "The trap has been activated, and we can't get out." She turned her gaze to Yue Hengtang, hateful and angry, "It's all your woman's kindness, why didn't you kill that bastard just now!"
They didn't even know who the other party was, so they were trapped in the main hall, and before the game officially began, they were already defeated.
Yue Hengtang was not flustered, his eyes looked at the bronze mirror on the wall, he looked confident, and smiled faintly for a while, "Don't be anxious, I deliberately let people go, and I already left a backup move." The one who really couldn't escape was the man in black. Since we're staying for the time being, let's see what's so strange about this brocade box. β
Ye Liannu was full of resentment, and she was suspicious of Yue Hengtang, but she had no choice at all, so she had to crawl out from under the square table, glanced at the brocade box, and said angrily: "If you have the ability, open the brocade box." β
Tu Meng was very dissatisfied, glared at her and said: "The Absolute Emperor let you live, you still dare to shout, and when you go out, the Absolute Emperor will definitely leave you." β
Yue Hengtang raised his hand to shut him up, then stroked the square table and said, "This is a thousand-year-old fire sandalwood under the deep ditch of the South China Sea, which weighs ten thousand pounds. The brocade box is made of cold ice porcelain, which is one yin and one yang with fire sandalwood, and cannot be separated. β
Tu Meng came back to his senses, suddenly realized, looked at the white flower pattern on the lid of the box, and said, "Could it be that these are ice flowers, and you have to melt these ice flowers before you can open the lid?"
"The mille-feuille ice flower is as cold as iron, and it is invincible to the spiritual fire of an inch. Yue Hengtang nodded slightly and said, "To melt these ice flowers, you must use spiritual fire." β
Looking up at the hanging oil lamp hanging from the top of the hall, he frowned: "These are ordinary fires, and they have no effect on ice flowers." He turned his eyes to look at Ye Liannu and said slowly: "Since you also want to open the brocade box, quickly hand over Zi Ning, only she has the spiritual fire on her." β
Ye Liannu's face sank, and she glanced at him and said, "I said, Zining is not in my hands, and I don't know where she is." β
Yue Hengtang's eyes froze, and he raised his head and said loudly: "You colluded with the guy in the bronze mirror array and acted in this play, just to lure us into the urn and help you open the brocade box." Turning her eyes, she saw that Ye Liannu's face was cloudy, and then she sneered and said, "We are already here, the brocade box is in front of us, go and tell your accomplices to release Zi Ning." β
Ye Liannu hesitated, she got the method of entering the Bronze Mirror Array from the Wu Clan, but she didn't know that there were already people in the Bronze Mirror, but she fell into the trap set by others. She was in a hurry to open the brocade box more than anyone else, so she also wanted to find Zi Ning as soon as possible, but Zi Ning's disappearance really had nothing to do with her.
At this time, a strange sound came from the surrounding walls, as if someone was making an eerie laugh.
Ye Liannu couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly approached Yue Hengtang, looking around with a pair of eyes.
Tu Meng threw off the placket of his long coat, pinned it in the waistband of his trousers, and shouted at his throat: "What kind of person is pretending to be a ghost, get out of Lao Tzu!"
Suddenly there was a "banging" sound above his head, and Yue Hengtang suddenly raised his head, and saw that the complicated patterns on the top of the hall changed and turned, like a mille-feuille blooming, and instantly turned out countless waves, stretching and surging down one by one.
Tu Meng glared at the bull's eye and roared: "What the hell?" hurriedly took a step, his wand was lost, and he could only clench his fists with his bare hands, clenching his two fists, and waiting to meet him.
Trumpet-like things extend downwards and make a "buzzing" sound. Countless flowers were stacked together, and the huge flower center opened and closed, like a bright grinding plate, and like a monster with a big red mouth, roaring and biting towards them.
Yue Hengtang spun around and flew up and kicked heavily on the head of the flower. The flower heart trembled and shrank for a moment, and then "hissed" and spewed out streams of black mist that shot straight into their faces.
There are countless small flower heads on the left and right sides of the huge flower head, and the bright colors of each one suddenly bloom, exuding dazzling and intoxicating colors, accompanied by bursts of fragrant mist, attacking Ye Liannu and Tu Meng respectively.
The three of them were attacked and retreated by countless sinuous flowers, and Tu Meng's fists struck out, hitting the soft and elastic flower branches, and they couldn't exert their strength at all.
In the past, when I had power spells, I didn't think weapons were important, but at this time, I wanted to hold a big knife in my hand and cut off the flowers that spread from these branches one by one.
Yue Hengtang continued to kick out his feet, "poof, puff" kicked away one by one flower heads with teeth and claws, but countless flowers poured over, and in an instant he was crowded with various colors.
He was anxious, seeing that the flowers were becoming more and more dense, but he was helpless, knowing that once he was wrapped in this flower heart, it would soon become a fertilizer snack.
The flowers that climbed down from the top of the temple seemed to go crazy, and they staggered down. Tu Meng had never seen so many bright colors, densely clustered together, his scalp was numb, his eyes were stinging, and he almost felt dizzy and vomited.
A thick fog rose in the main hall, and the rich aroma made the three of them dizzy.
Yue Hengtang was born in the immortal clan, and he practiced immortal magic and Taoism since he was a child, and he thought that the immortal realm of the god monarch was invincible, and he never thought that one day he would be forced to retreat by the demon flower.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in the past, he only practiced the True Yuan Immortal Method, and did not practice the fighting techniques and weapons, which was obviously a mistake. Zi Ning was right, if the people of the Immortal Clan lost their skills and spells, they might not even be as good as ordinary mortals.
In order to make a living, mortals will hunt and fight with their bare hands, wade through water and climb trees, and these cultivators of the immortal clan, except for the immortal arts, do not have any self-defense skills.
Tu Meng was smoked by the fragrance of the demon flower and retreated, Yue Hengtang brushed his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, raised his eyes to look, and saw that the soft stem of a demon flower was wrapped around Ye Liannu's waist, and was about to be fed into a flower center the size of a millstone.
He quickly jumped up and kicked the flower stem hard. The huge flower head trembled, and the flower stem let go of Ye Liannu, and she fell on the square table with a "poof", and her bones trembled in pain.
The huge petals of the demon Ye opened and closed, slowly stretched out towards the moon pond, and suddenly opened the largest petal, wanting to swallow him in one bite.
Yue Hengtang's eyes froze, and he froze, and at a glance he saw a figure curled up in the heart of the bright red flower.
"Zi Ning!" he shouted, tore off a bell belt from Ye Liannu's waist with his backhand, flew out and hit the flower stem, wrapped it around a few times, wrapped it around the huge flower head, and pulled it back with both hands.
The grinding disc-like flower head seemed to be tightened by its neck, twitched and shook twice, and with a "poof", it spit out the curled body in the center of the flower.
A figure wrapped in the dark aroma fog fell down from mid-air, Yue Hengtang threw away the bell belt in his hand, jumped up high, and hugged a weak body with both hands, it was Zi Ning.
"Whew!" Zi Ning popped out two fireballs in his hands, hitting the stems of the demon flowers one after another, the flower head quickly shrank, and bounced back with a cold wind, and in an instant, countless flower branches shook up like a fugitive, swishing all to the top of the hall, forming a colorful and gorgeous flower-shaped pattern in a blink of an eye.
Ye Liannu was frightened by the demon flower, and when she saw that her bell belt was rolled up to the top of the hall, she was ashamed and angry, and stomped her feet and shouted: "Yue Hengtang, you bastard, this girl's talisman magic weapon, you dare to move!"
Looking up at the top of the temple, I saw a bell belt hanging on the colored wooden rafters, slowly fluttering down, making a slight "ding" sound.
Zi Ning ejected the last fireball, already exhausted, and fainted in Yue Hengtang's arms with a "boom".
Yue Hengtang hurriedly hugged her, raised his hand to hold her pulse, and was relieved to see that she was breathing steadily, but she was in a coma, and she was not worried about her life.
Fortunately, Zi Ning held the fireball in her hand, and although the demon flower captured her, she didn't dare to swallow it as a fertilizer snack. Yue Hengtang was suddenly frightened for a while, his hands were cold, and he hugged her tightly in his arms.
Ye Liannu glared at him fiercely, and sneered: "The Absolute Emperor hero is short of breath, his children are long, and he is so unproductive, no wonder the immortal clan is so decayed, even the heavenly demon can't deal with it." β
Yue Hengtang ignored her, lowered his head to wipe the sweat off Zi Ning's forehead, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, with me by your side, I will definitely not lose you again, I was about to scare me to death just now." β
After a while, Zi Ning slowly opened her eyes and called out weakly, "Brother Tangβ"
It was as if she had a nightmare just now, when she saw a huge black bat, its eyes glowing with a faint dark light like brass bells, staring at her deadly, as if full of resentment.
This black bat gave her a familiar feeling, as if she had a relationship in ancient times.
"Black bat, black bat-" Zi Ning stood up with her forehead and shook her head vigorously, "That black bat, why do I seem to have seen it?"
"What black bat?" asked Yue Hengtang.
Zi Ning was stunned and told what happened after she entered the bronze mirror, it turned out that she was caught by a giant black bat and fed into the mouth of a demon flower as fertilizer. She was trapped in the heart of the flower, and she was tightly sucked by the flower plate and couldn't get out, so she had no choice but to shoot fireballs one by one to temporarily deter the demon flower, so she was not swallowed up by the heart of the flower.
After speaking, Zi Ning seemed to collapse, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Tang, why did you raise some man-eating demon flowers at the bottom of Kunlun Peak?"
Yue Hengtang fished out a ball of white plush from the hat of her cloak, put it in her hand, and said, "The white ball just fainted, and it didn't get in the way." β
Zi Ning exhaled, held the chubby little body of the white ball in both hands, stroked its little head, and said distressedly: "It's so pitiful, you must be frightened when you see a big black bat." β
Baiqiu squinted and woke up, a confused look appeared in his small eyes, his round belly sat up, his paws scratched his white fur belly, he twisted his head to look left and right, and chirped in his mouth: "Demon - Demon - Demon -"
Zi Ning was stunned for a moment and asked it what a "demon" was. Bai Qiu thought for a moment, but he couldn't say clearly, as if his memory was sealed in the dust, he only felt that the demon was very familiar, but he remembered who it was.
The eyes of the four of them circled around the hall, and finally they all gathered on the brocade box.
Zi Ning heard that the spiritual fire could melt the mille-feuille ice flower on the lid of the brocade box, and quickly nodded: "This doesn't bother me, you look at me-" As he spoke, he rolled his sleeves and shook his wrist, and took out a golden fairy peacock hairpin from the blue jade bracelet, and there was a high-grade spiritual fire in the peacock Ling's eyes.
Tu Meng and Ye Liannu were both surprised, and shouted in unison, "You haven't lost your strength?" They originally had storage magic weapons, but they lost their skills in the trapped formation and couldn't cast spells, so the things in the magic weapons couldn't be taken out.
Seeing that Zi Ning didn't seem to be bound by the trapped formation, the two of them were stunned.
Yue Hengtang frowned, and suddenly said: "Zi Ning doesn't have a skill level, she is a mortal woman, so the trapped formation is useless to her." β
She is a Wuji Xuannu, although she doesn't understand immortal arts, she can use Wuji True Yuan to control the Lingbao immortal weapon of the Immortal Dao, and the blue Xuanyu bracelet happens to be an immortal weapon.
Zi Ning stared at the three of them incredulously and asked, "Don't you all have the skills?" Turning his head to look at Yue Hengtang, he saw that his face was solemn, and he nodded at her slightly, and said in surprise: "That...... The four of us, I'm the best now?"
She was a mortal girl, and finally turned over and counterattacked, and immediately giggled, and then took out a delicate feather fan from the blue Xuanyu bracelet, and generously handed it to Yue Hengtang and said: "Brother Tang, this fan is also a magic weapon, which can prevent poison and resist the enemy, and when you meet a black bat, you can make it fall asleep if you fan it twice." β
Turning his head, he saw Tu Meng with a strange expression, and said with a smile: "God of War, you don't have to worry, I will protect you if there is danger." β
As he spoke, he took the peacock hairpin in his hand and slowly approached the white flower-shaped pattern on the lid of the brocade box.
When the high-grade spiritual fire met the cold ice flower, the ghostly light flashed, and the flame jumped out, like a cheerful elf, greedily sucking the white ice flower.
When the mille-feuille ice flower meets its nemesis, it has nowhere to dodge but to let it burn and suck. After half a pillar of incense, the white ice flowers gradually melted, revealing the jet-black base of the brocade box.
The spiritual fire burned more and more, the square table of the fire sandalwood made a crisp sound of "crackling", and the brocade box of cold porcelain trembled with the "buzz". Under the burning of the spiritual flame, the cold ice weakened, and the sandalwood flourished, suddenly breaking the balance of yin and yang, only to hear the sound of "pop", and the lid of the brocade box suddenly opened without warning.
The four of them hurriedly stepped back, but there was no movement in the box.
Yue Hengtang raised his hand to stop them, and he stepped forward himself, seeing that there was only a half-old roll of silk silk in the brocade box, and nothing else.
The silk silk was gently taken out and flattened on the table, with dense handwriting written on it, and at a cursory glance, it actually recorded a history of the immortal world.
The four of them were disappointed, they couldn't imagine that there was only one history book in such a sealed brocade box, and they didn't understand why they had to solemnly seal it. Tu Meng shook his head and said: "This history book is hidden under Kunlun Peak, a bronze mirror is set up, and there are demon flowers to protect it, what great things are recorded?"
Zi Ning leaned in and took a look at it, only to see that all the seal characters were written in twists and turns, and he couldn't recognize what was written at all. I had to sigh and say: "Brother Tang, maybe the book says the way out of the bronze mirror trap, you have to take a closer look, how we get out." β
Yue Hengtang took a look, he was attracted by the content of the history book, hurriedly swept a few lines of words, and suddenly frowned, and hurriedly opened the whole book, and saw the last line, Long Feifeng danced and signed a name: Ji Shi, the prodigal son of Youxian.
