【268】Take the spirit of the night to explore the mysterious fire
Li Xun was respectful and replied truthfully: "My master has benefited a lot from comprehending the true method from the 'Xuanhuo Altar' month ago. He is already able to break through the natural barrier of the 'Yuyang' realm. Now he is in seclusion from the quiet room in the valley."
Shangguan Ce said: "Did you have no explanation when your senior brother was in seclusion?"
Li Xun replied: "Master's retreat this time is to break through the shackles of cultivation in one fell swoop, so he specially told him that before he succeeds in leaving the seclusion, he will not disturb him. In addition, Master also handed over the daily affairs in the valley to his disciples for temporary use. The disciples are not knowledgeable, so I need more advice on how to deal with it!"
Shangguan Ce glanced at him, and did not comment, but said calmly: "Well, since he has arranged this way, he has his own reason. Besides, you are the senior brother of all the disciples. In the future, the Fenxiang Valley will be passed on to you. Now, it is beneficial or not to learn how to deal with matters."
Li Xun could not hide his joy on his face, so he hurriedly bowed and bowed: "Uncle Master taught me a lesson. The disciples will definitely put their heart into it and will not disappoint the uncle and elders!"
Shangguan Ce waved casually, took out a thick stack of things from his arms, placed them on the table where Yun Yilan was sitting normally, and said, "The senior brother had assigned a task before, but some of them had not been dealt with. Since you are in charge of the affairs in the valley, then this matter will be handed over to you."
Li Xun looked at the things on the table, nodded and responded solemnly: "Don't worry, uncle, let's leave this matter to my disciple."
"Yes." Shangguan Ce glanced at him meaningfully again, turned around and left.
Li Xun sent Shangguan Ce out of the room, looked at his back far away, and remembered the response just now, and finally couldn't help but smile. Only then did Li Xun be convinced that the right to take charge of the Fenxiang Valley had finally fallen into his hands!
A few days later, Shangguan Ce made a statement about retreat from the disciples of Xuanhuotan.
Lu Shun of the Fenxiang Valley was not in charge of affairs. At this point, the leader of the entire thousand-year-old sect had indeed fallen to Li Xun.
——
One hundred thousand mountains.
Shangyang Cave.
Deep in the cave, there should have been a dark and light-free place, because the flame spirit shines and heats, reflecting the brightness of the four directions as bright as day.
Collecting the "Lihuo Essence" is a time-consuming and laborious task. Feng Yi stayed in this cave for a whole month, and finally took the "Lihuo Essence" in the deep pool and gathered it into a ball of about two fists. Although the amount was not large, this was already the majority of the birth of countless years since the "Xuanhuo Interpretation".
Feng Yi could have taken it all away.
However, he observed the details. The flame spirit seemed to be extremely dependent on the "Lihuo Spirit" and even was born on it. Feng Yi estimated that if he took away all the "Lihuo Spirit", the flame spirit might die. Anyway, the materials obtained in his hand were enough to forge the immortal sword, so Feng Yi continued to fish in the water, which also made the flame spirit's originally dim body more energetic.
During this period, there was another accident when the "Lihuo Essence" was obtained.
That is, Feng Yi had insufficient estimates of gathering an unrefined "Lihuo Essence". He did not expect that their hot and hot energy was so strong that the cold jade box prepared by Feng Yi could not be filled, but was melted by Lihuo Essence. Seeing this Feng Yi did not dare to directly put it in the Qiankun bag. What if the "Dragon Silk" could not withstand the "Lihuo Essence" and was burned through the hole?
It is important to know that there are many other items in the Qiankun bag!
After trying several spare stone boxes, gold and iron boxes, they could not hold this thing. In desperation, Bi Yao solved the problem and removed her precious dressing box from the inside, and actually endured the flame power of the "Lihuo Essence". Feng Yi was very surprised and looked over and over again in his hand with the dressing box several times, and said curiously: "What material is your box made of, and it can even resist the flame power of the "Lihuo Essence". It's really extraordinary!"
Biyao was full of distress when she saw his thick hands and feet, and her beautiful eyes twisted and told him, "I warn you, this box is my beloved thing. If you break it, take care of your skin!"
Feng Yi quickly looked calm, carefully put the dressing box into the Qiankun bag, and laughed and said, "Don't worry, I must keep it well!" Then he turned to the Yan Ling who was imprisoned in the cave by the "Xuanhuojian" for a full month. His eyes were facing each other. Although he could not see the other person's eyes, his attitude was clearly fearful and hated.
This is indeed the case.
Yan Ling lived well here, but after they broke in, they used magic weapons to confine their freedom and took away so many spiritual treasures in heaven and earth. For a moment, Feng Yi felt that there was nothing to say when facing it. He pondered for a moment, but said sincerely: "I'd like to do it myself."
The next move was triggered and the "Xuanhuo Mirror" was withdrawn.
The flame spirit did not stop for a moment. As soon as the "Xuanhuo Mirror" confinement light dissipated, it immediately turned into a flame and merged into a deep pool. The Lihuo in the pool burned slowly as usual. However, Feng Yi felt that the flame seemed not as vigorous as it was when it first came, as if it was listless.
"let's go."
"It's time to leave after staying in this Shangyang Cave for so long."
When entering the mountain, I took a lot of time to find the location of Shangyang Mountain. I just had to go straight to the entrance of Fenxiang Valley, which was naturally much faster.
Tens of thousands of mountains and beasts are everywhere, tyrannical and fierce, and extremely aggressive.
On the way back, Feng Yi and Bi Yao also encountered two tragic battles between the beast monster tribes. Although they were both from the same source, the killing between them was as cruel and ruthless as the slaughter of alien races, which was deeply shocking.
Fortunately, the two of them had a profound understanding of Taoism, and were cautious all the way first, and frequently used the secret technique of hidden shadows and hidden movements, but they did not alarm the beast monsters in the mountains and arrived at the entrance smoothly.
The entrance to Burning Xiang Valley is sluggish inside and tight outside.
It is easy to enter a hundred thousand mountains from the valley, but it is much more difficult to get out of the hundred thousand mountains. Burning Xiang Valley is extremely cautious and vigilant against the beast monsters and monsters in the 100 thousand mountains, and has arranged many people to guard and patrol.
Feng Yi tried several times, but was not sure that he could leave without disturbing the Fenxiang Valley sects. He had no choice but to wait for the night, intending to use the night to cover it up and try again.
It's night.
The two of them quietly hid into the night and sneaked into the entrance. The night gave them the best cover. Even though there were many disciples in the Fenxiang Valley, the two of them moved forward little by little with caution and smoothly passed through the entrance and then landed in the Fenxiang Valley.
When he passed through a courtyard behind the gate, there was a man in the atmosphere that was very strong and very strong, which led to Feng Yi and his two stops for a moment.
"Hey," Bi Yao said curiously, "Who is this person? He has a deep cultivation."
Feng Yi thought for a while and said, "The person who stationed in the entrance to the Fenxiang Valley is Lu Shun, the fourth person in the gate. I think it is him."
Bi Yao nodded slightly and suddenly smiled.
Feng Yi said curiously: "What's wrong?"
Bi Yao said: "I heard that Shangguan Ce of Fenxiang Valley had a junior brother who was extremely disagreeable with him. He was against everything, and he looked like a narrow-minded villain. Now when he saw him, he was not as unbearable as the rumors."
Feng Yi smiled and said, "After all, hundreds of years of inheritance have enough foundation no matter what!"
The two of them chatted for a while and then left.
However, just after they left for a few breaths, a figure suddenly flew out of the courtyard, standing in surprise and suspicion near where the two of them stood, looking around with dissatisfaction.
But no matter how lightning his eagle's eyes were, the only thing he saw was the quiet and deep night, and even the rustling insects were still ringing around him. The man couldn't help but show his confusion and thought to himself, "Strange, can I feel wrong?" After pondering for a while, he felt that it was inappropriate to let go, so he let people know that Li Xun, who is now in charge of Burning Incense Valley, asked him to send his disciples to guard the entrance.
Facing the top priority of a hundred thousand mountains, it is also necessary to be more cautious.
The mobilization of disciples from the Fenxiang Valley Sect naturally immediately alarmed Feng Yi and Biyao in the dark. Looking at the direction of those people leaving, Feng Yi was shocked and said, "Did they find our whereabouts?" Turning his head and seeing Biyao's smile, Feng Yi suddenly realized: "Did you just--"
Bi Yao nodded: "I left because I deliberately leaked my breath for a moment. The No. 4 figure in Burning Xiang Valley was not disappointed with high expectations." As she said that, she stroked her hair and showed a deep meaning: "Didn't you say you want to explore the 'Xuanhuo Altar'? It's the opportunity now."
Feng Yi pondered and said, "If Shangguan Ce is here, then the 'Xuanhuo Altar' will not be easy to enter."
Bi Yao said, "Then let's find out where Shangguan Ce is first."
The Fenxiang Valley covers a very wide area. After entering the valley, paths, large or small, are paved flat on the ground, connecting with towers, palaces, and scenery, spreading to all directions like a human bloodline. Just as the two were thinking about how to find Shangguan Ce’s residence, two Fenxiang Valley disciples suddenly walked towards each other.
The two hurriedly hid in the shadows.
The two disciples of the Fenxiang Valley approached quickly and talked to each other as they walked. The person on the left said, "Senior Brother, do you know that the eldest brother ordered someone to send an emergency message just now and summoned many senior brothers to the entrance to guard. What happened?"
The senior brother said, "Maybe the fishman in the mountain is spontaneously seeking death. Don't you know about the sneak attack on the entrance hall before?"
The man on the left said, "Those damn fish-headed monsters! Just because of them, we have to help the senior brothers on duty at Xuanhuo Hall to watch tonight!"
The senior brother advised: "Why are there so much resentment? Uncle Shangguan has recently been in seclusion, and the senior brother is also worried about the safety of the Xuanhuo Altar. He just asked us to help him watch the night. Do you not even want to hear the words of the senior brother?"
The man on the left said embarrassedly: "I said that, how dare I not listen? Otherwise, what am I doing with you now?"
The disciples of Fenxiang Valley walked past Feng Yi and the others, but did not notice the strangeness in the dark shadow. When they walked away, Feng Yixing came out and looked at Bi Yao, and they all frowned and pondered.
"It's such a coincidence?" Bi Yao said suspiciously.
Feng Yi also felt strange, but after thinking about it carefully, he and Bi Yao did not alarm anyone. Moreover, even if they were exposed, how could the other party know the purpose of their trip and make arrangements in advance?
Unless the other party is not targeting them, and it is just a coincidence.
Feng Yi thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, let's explore the 'Xuanhuo Altar' first. If anything is strange, retreat immediately." Bi Yao chuckled and said, "Are you not afraid of exposing Xingzang, but being trapped in the valley and unable to get out?" Feng Yi chuckled and said confidently: "With you and me working together, the single Shangguan Ce can't keep us!"
Bi Yao smiled and said, "Okay, let's accompany you for a while."
The children in the Burning Valley are not strictly guarded.
After approaching the "Xuanhuo Altar", the guards became much tighter. Strangely, when Feng Yi and the other two guards who had actually passed through the periphery of the disciples of the Fenxiang Valley got closer and closer to the depths, no one was guarding them. Feng Yi carefully investigated for a while and confirmed that there were no traps, he walked out with Bi Yao.
In front is a stone tablet.
The stone tablet is written on it - Xuanhuo is the most important place, and the disciples stop.
This place is the forbidden area of Fenxiang Valley. No one is allowed to approach it without receiving the order on weekdays. It is precisely because of the importance that the important task of guarding this place is Shangguan Ce, the second-person figure in Fenxiang Valley. It is precisely because of the strict rules of Fenxiang Valley on weekdays that the two of them are now doing things.
After crossing the stone tablet, the terrain changed drastically, and the stone tablet looked like a boundary. First, the weeds on the ground gradually disappeared, and then the trees gradually became lower, and there were only bushes of shrubs left behind. Even the shrubs grew sparse and dry, as if the place was extremely lacking in water.
Move forward again.
Until a valley.
As the two of them walked out, a wave of heat immediately came towards us. Bi Yao felt the breath, looked surprised, and whispered: "Strange, this feeling is very similar to that in Shangyang Cave." Feng Yi replied: "'Xuanhuo Mirror', 'Xuanhuo Altar' was originally related."
Bi Yao suddenly realized and thought without saying a word.
When they turned a corner and walked into the valley completely, the two of them stood in a daze at the scene in the distance.
In the distance there is a clearing land. In the middle of the clearing land, there is an extremely huge altar. There is a lingering under the altar, supported by thirteen huge jade pillars, all of which are extremely thick, each of which is as thick as several people embrace each other.
The most amazing thing is that above the altar, all the buildings are made of red stones, all the railings, steps, and halls. In the middle of the altar, there is a towering palace. There are three floors, each floor is reduced by half from the previous one, and the height is more than ten feet. It is really amazing and magnificent!
The majestic momentum that came to his face made Feng Yi and the others feel insignificant, and they are nervous for a moment.
"Is this the 'Xuanhuo Altar'?"
“It’s really majestic!”
Biyao exclaimed softly, Feng Yi nodded and agreed very much. Even the balls on her shoulders also whimpered lightly, as if responding. Her round and black eyes looked at the towering building like torches in the distance, and also showed a thoughtful look.
The surrounding area is plain and there is no place to cover it. The two of them did not stop and immediately went to the "Xuanhuo Altar". Fortunately, the two of them had extremely fast body movements and no one was guarding them around, so they easily sneaked under the Xuanhuo Altar. As soon as they entered, the scorching temperature around them came.
Chapter completed!
