Manluoshan, who was kicked away by Xia Mang and finally came back, turned pale, spitting blood, and was on the verge of collapse.
You must know that although this Red Spirit Pagoda is not his "life soldier", it has been blended with the true soul of the origin. If it is so damaged, his origin has also been impacted to a certain extent and has been traumatized.
"Not good! The Red Spirit Pagoda is going to break!"
Some people screamed in horror, the cracks in the Soul Tower were getting bigger and bigger, and there was a danger of collapse at any time.
Xia Mang stopped his hand, looked at Mu Chu, and said, "Phoenix Essence!"
Mu Chu's expression was cold. He helped Man Luo Shan to recover the nearly collapsed Chi Ling Pagoda, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He stared at Xia Mang for a long time, and then said: "What a ruthless method!"
He didn't expect that Xia Mang would use such tough methods to break the situation.
"If I'm ruthless enough, his Red Spirit Pagoda will definitely collapse." Xia Mang's expression was calm and indifferent. Naturally, he would not show mercy for Fengxui, but he had no enmity with Manluoshan after all and would not harm his life.
Mu Chu snorted coldly, waved his hand and threw out an inch-high white jade bottle, which contained a drop of red phoenix marrow.
Previously, when Xia Mang fought against Manluoshan, he ordered people to go back to his home to get the phoenix marrow. With his status as the eldest son of the Mu family, he could control a drop of phoenix marrow.
Xia Mang reached out and grabbed the white jade bottle, then turned around without hesitation and walked towards Xue Nianchu in front of the ancestral temple. He believed that in the eyes of everyone, Mu Chu would not cheat as a person, and this drop of red phoenix marrow would not
There are fake ones.
Mu Chu stared at Xia Mang's tall back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said: "Xia Mang, do you know about Wutong Bone?"
"Wutong Bone?!" Xia Mang's body suddenly froze.
Wutong bone!
Xia Mang's expression suddenly became condensed. He turned around, stared at Mu Chu with a burning gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know the whereabouts of Wutong Bone?"
He naturally knew about the Wutong Bone. In fact, from the moment he left Nanzhao Hou Mansion, he tried his best to collect clues about the Wutong Bone.
Wutong bone, phoenix living in phoenix tree, phoenix heart bone... It is not difficult to imagine that this phoenix bone is deeply involved with the phoenix.
According to legend, at the far end of the sky, there is a phoenix fluttering its wings and chaos in the sea of stars. It died nine times seeking nirvana and bathed in the fire of heaven to live forever. All the remains of the nine lives were burned and turned into ashes.
Only one bone remains!
It is said that it is a "heart"-shaped bone, which was poured with the blood of the ninth generation of Phoenix. It is so strong and yang that it can burn all things.
It is a divine object that is eternal to the sun and is called the "Phoenix Heart and Bone".
In ancient legends, the phoenix once carried it to fight powerful enemies, but its enemy was so terrifying and powerful that the phoenix's heart and bones were shattered and scattered across the world.
The Wutong Bone is a strange object derived from the place where the Phoenix Heart Bone fell. Although it is named "Bone", it is actually a piece of wood. It was created after countless years of time after the Wutong Wood absorbed the fragments of the Heart Bone.
The condensed sycamore heart.
Wutong Bone, Wutong Heart, this thing is close to the "Zhiyang" and contains scorching heat. Although it is far inferior to the power of the Phoenix Heart Bone, it can still be called a rare treasure, and it is a rare god on the path of fire.
things.
Xia Mang's search for Wutong bones was naturally due to Xue Nianchu's cold syndrome.
Although phoenix marrow is good, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If you can have a sycamore bone, even if you can't cure Xue Nianchu's cold syndrome, you can suppress it, suppress the cold poison, and there will be no recurrence in the short term, and you will be worry-free for at least twenty years.
.
Xia Mang believed that twenty years would be enough time for him to find a way to eradicate the cold poison.
"Where are the sycamore bones?"
Xia Mang stared at Mu Chu, his eyes like a sword, like a magic sword that had been dusted for thousands of years out of its sheath, with an astonishing sharpness and brilliance.
Mu Chu's expression condensed slightly, then relaxed and said: "A few days ago, I accidentally entered Qifeng Valley, and by chance, I got a small half of a sycamore bone..."
"Qifeng Valley?"
Xia Mang frowned. As far as he knew, there was indeed a sycamore forest outside Nanzhao Mansion, and it was adjacent to a cliff called "Fengyu Cliff". There was a deep valley under the cliff called "Qifeng".
According to legend, a divine phoenix once fell here, and a large sycamore tree grew up in the next hundred years. Later, the names Fengyu Cliff and Qifeng Valley came to be known.
"What do you want?"
Xia Mang looked at Mu Chu. He knew that the other party had Wutong bones and would never give them to him. Since Mu Chu brought it up, there should be room for mediation on the matter.
"Another contest!" Mu Chu said slowly.
Xia Mang was startled.
"In a life-and-death contest, you and I will fight!" Mu Chu stared at Xia Mang and said in a cold tone, "Bet on life, bet on scales, bet on sycamore bones!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked and the whole place was silent. After a long time, discussions broke out.
"Master Mu Chu actually invited Xia Mang to fight and compete in a life-and-death contest! This is definitely shocking news, and it will surely spread throughout Nanzhao Mansion soon!"
"A battle of life and death, gambling on life, competition, life and death contest!"
"Young Master Mu Chu thinks too highly of Xia Mang. He has already entered the realm of transcendence. How can a mere Xia Mang be his opponent?"
"In a life-and-death competition, one person dies and the other lives. No one leaves the field regardless of life or death. This is an iron law..."
…
Everyone was shocked. No one expected that Mu Chu actually planned to personally take action and invite Xia Mang to join the life and death ring and fight for his life.
This is incredible. Logically speaking, Mu Chu and Xia Mang have no grudges. Even if they lose a drop of phoenix marrow due to the defeat at Manluo Mountain today, they still can't gamble their lives.
Everyone looked at each other, some confused about the situation.
Xia Mang was also a little stunned. According to what he understood, Mu Chugui was the eldest son of the Mu family, and he had always been gentle and calm. Today, he invited him to a battle of life and death. This was really unusual.
"Do you dare to accept the challenge?" Mu Chu said calmly.
Xia Mang raised his eyebrows and was about to accept the challenge. Suddenly, Xue Nianchu's anxious voice came: "He won't agree."
Xue Nianchu groped her way over. She stood in front of Xia Mang, faced Mu Chu, and yelled, "Mu Chu, you've gone too far."
Xia Mang held Xue Nianchu's hand. Mu Chu looked at this scene, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said coldly: "Xia Mang, do you want to give up the Wutong Bone?"
"Xiaomang——"
Xue Nianchu was anxious. She didn't want Xia Mang to participate in the life-and-death contest, especially she didn't want Xia Mang to be killed because of her.
Xia Mang stopped her, nodded to Mu Chu, and said: "Fight!"
A sonorous word!
Because of Xue Nianchu and Wutong Bone, he had no reason to be timid.
"When?" Xia Mang asked.
"Tomorrow at noon, the sun will be shining brightly in the sky!" Mu Chu said solemnly.
Xia Mang nodded, took Xue Nianchu's hand, walked out of the crowd, and walked slowly towards the small courtyard next to the ancestral temple.
Mu Chu looked at the backs of the two people leaving side by side, with a momentary loneliness in his eyes. He stood there for a long time before leaving with everyone.
In front of the ancestral temple, the old figure who seemed to have been forgotten by everyone suddenly stood up. Unexpectedly, he was actually very tall and burly, not rickets due to old age. He was very tall and stalwart. He stood tall and tall in front of the ancestral temple.
In front of the temple, it is like carrying the sunset scenery all over the sky, with an indescribable charm and magnificence.
He looked at the statue of a human coiled dragon in the ancestral temple. Although his eyes were still cloudy, they had a brighter color and said to himself: "The wind is blowing, and someone will slay the dragon!"
