Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Seventh Heavenly Centipede
There is strength in numbers, and as tens of thousands of mature men cut down the forest, the forest was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. The process went smoothly, and no accidents occurred.
Moreover, this time the felling was different from usual. Before the action, everyone present was issued a special talisman in advance. Carrying it with them can effectively avoid the invasion of resentment.
"It's strange, how come the resentment in the forest has become so much thinner?" Liu Hunkang naturally noticed the abnormality and couldn't help but be a little confused. After a pause, he turned to look at Chu Feng aside and asked,
"But what did fellow Taoist do just now?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because of the elimination of many resentful souls." Chu Feng shook his head slightly and said vaguely.
"Is that so?"
The two couldn't help but look at each other. Killing those evil things would indeed weaken their resentment, but it couldn't be reduced so much, right? However, this was obviously a good thing. Although the two were confused, they didn't ask any more questions.
The felling was still continuing, and the three of them were observing the dissipation of resentment from time to time to prevent unexpected events. But at this moment, a hearty shout suddenly sounded, causing a sensation in an instant:
"Two fellow Taoists, I didn't expect that you were so eager to start work, and you didn't wait for me to be a poor Taoist?"
Following the sound, a golden light flew from the sky and landed in front of the three of them in an instant. The moment he saw the other person, Chu Feng's heart suddenly shuddered, and he was immediately suppressed by force.
Unlike Chu Feng, Liu Hunkang and Shi Tai both looked happy and greeted with a smile: "Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Senior Tian Longzi. I'm so polite, junior."
"You two little guys, didn't you say you should do your own thing? There is no need for these vain things." Tianlongzi pretended to be angry and reprimanded.
The two of them seemed to have expected this, and they still stubbornly said,
"After all, we are juniors, and we still have to abide by the proper etiquette."
"You guys." Tian Longzi pointed at the two of them and said helplessly,
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you about such trivial matters."
As he said that, his eyes suddenly turned and happened to see Chu Feng's position. He couldn't help but curiously asked,
"This little friend has an extraordinary face. I wonder which family he is a disciple of?"
"A casual cultivator is not worth mentioning. To be able to see the legendary Senior Tian Longzi today is truly a blessing." Chu Feng bowed his head and replied unhurriedly.
Hearing such an answer, Liu Hunkang and Shi Tai couldn't help but be a little surprised. They had already learned about each other's origins, so why didn't they tell the truth?
"Did my disciple come to Bianjing last time? I heard that a master Feiyun with great supernatural powers appeared here. Is this my little friend you want to talk about?"
"Don't you dare to take it for granted that you have great supernatural powers? Senior, you are ridiculously praising me."
"My little friend is quite humble." Tian Longzi didn't care at all about Chu Feng's slightly cold attitude and still said cheerfully,
"How can a mere casual cultivator possess such profound skills at such an age? It shows that this little friend is very talented. What do you like most about geniuses? If you have time in the future, you can always visit Bailing Mountain as a guest."
"Then don't bother senior?" Chu Feng smiled slightly. However, his answer was a bit ambiguous. He did not reveal whether he wanted to go or not.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter." Tian Longzi still had a smile on his face, paused, and seemed to suddenly think of something. He took out a token from his arms, tossed it lightly, and flew straight to Chu Feng.
"This is my golden order for entering and exiting Bailing Mountain. If you come here, little friend, you can only activate it in the land of Sichuan and Sichuan."
"In that case, I would like to thank you, senior."
Chu Feng stretched out his hand to take it, nodded lightly, and did not refuse again. Seeing him accept the token, Liu Hunkang beside him couldn't help but smile and said:
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist, Bailing Mountain is located in the Miao border, where many extremely precious elixirs grow, which are extremely rare for us. The senior disciples have countless disciples and are very good at refining poisons and collecting medicines. The inventory accumulated over countless years
But it’s not cheap.”
"If this happens, Chu cannot miss it. I hope senior will not be stingy. Of course, Chu still has some wealth and will exchange it with senior at an equal value."
"Of course not, little friend, just come."
It was only then that the atmosphere relaxed a bit, and Liu Hunkang changed the topic again and asked:
"Why did senior come here early?"
"I was worried about an accident, so after I learned about the time when you would start construction, I rushed over to take a look. What's more, after so many years of preparation, Pindao couldn't bear it anymore." At this point, Tian Longzi's eyes were clear.
A trace of strange color appeared and disappeared in a flash. He looked towards the forest subconsciously, and suddenly his eyes focused and he said in surprise,
"How could this be? How come there is so little resentment in the formation?"
"This..." Liu Hunkang glanced at Shi Tai beside him, and then said,
"We don't know. It wasn't like this when we entered a few days ago, but today it has become much thinner. However, this matter is beneficial to us, so we don't need to worry about it."
"It's a big deal, how can you not care?" Tian Longzi frowned, obviously he had a different view.
"I'll go in and take a look to avoid any accidents."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to respond, the golden light around him started shooting out into the dense forest.
"Master, he is not a human, but a alien centipede." Chu Feng was looking in the direction of the dense forest, but at this moment, he suddenly heard Xiao Zi's voice transmission. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help asking curiously,
"you sure?"
"I noticed it when he used the Escape Light." Xiao Zi was obviously very sure, and continued,
"Moreover, he has been practicing continuously for a long time, and his Taoism is very deep. Dragon energy has already arisen in his body. I think it won't be long before he will be reborn and transform into a real dragon."
"Tian Longzi, no wonder."
Chu Feng sneered in his heart, didn't the so-called Tianlong refer to centipede? He had never thought of this before. In other words, he had not expected that the other party would be so direct and use Tianlongzi as his Taoist name, which would make people less suspicious.
"Master, do I understand its purpose?" Suddenly, Xiao Zi exclaimed,
"It is targeting the Great Song Dynasty's dragon energy and wants to devour it to complete its final transformation."
"Actually, I had already made such a guess after entering the Little Underworld before and listening to what Zhu Wen said. However, I am more certain now." Chu Feng also nodded.
"However, this is also a good thing." Xiao Zi suddenly changed the topic and continued,
"He has swallowed too much dragon energy, and his magical body has become infinitely close to the body of a dragon. If the master can refine it, he will definitely be able to greatly improve his cultivation level."
"This is something you can consider."
After listening to Xiao Zi's suggestion, Chu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. It was indeed a good idea.
"Why is Fellow Daoist Chu laughing?" Shi Tai inadvertently noticed the change in Chu Feng's expression and asked curiously.
"I just thought of something that might be of some help to Chu's practice."
"Oh!" Shi Tai couldn't help but be a little surprised. It is helpful to practice. This is a big deal. He then smiled and said,
"So, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Chu."
As the two were talking, golden light suddenly appeared again in the dense forest, but it was Tian Longzi who flew back.
Chu Feng looked at the other party carefully. Although he concealed it very well, he could feel that his true heart was probably not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.
"Senior, have you discovered anything?" Liu Hunkang asked.
"Not yet." Tian Longzi still frowned, and suddenly asked again,
"I remember there were several places where resentful souls gathered. How were they removed?"
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Chu for this, and thanks to his means, otherwise, it would be really troublesome." Liu Hunkang explained with a smile.
"So that's it." Tian Longzi looked at Chu Feng again, his eyes full of brilliance, and he seemed to praise with great appreciation,
"I didn't expect that my little friend would have such a method, which really makes me look at him with admiration."
"How dare you? Senior has given me a reward." Chu Feng also responded with a smile.
"I'm not exaggerating at all. Even if I were to do it myself in those places, it would still take a lot of effort." Tian Longzi shook his head slightly, and asked again as if he was curious,
"I don't know what method my little friend used. Can Pindao be lucky enough to see it?"
"They are just a few high-level fire and thunder talismans. They are more powerful, but they are only disposable consumables. They have been used up now." Chu Feng sighed softly and said with a helpless expression.
"Well, that's a pity."
Tian Longzi murmured, as if he was quite regretful. His eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He turned to Liu Hunkang and continued,
"The resentment here has been greatly weakened, and some of the original difficulties have become easier. I think the construction period will be shortened. Our original plan should also be advanced."
"What the senior said is absolutely true. If this is the case, I will send a message to fellow Taoists from other sects as soon as possible. In addition, junior, do you have anything else to ask?"
"But there's no harm in talking."
"It's about the Peilong Formation." After a pause, Liu Hunkang continued,
"To be honest, the improved formation sent by my senior requires the blood sacrifice of thousands of young and strong men as a guide. We all feel that there is something wrong."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Tian Longzi's originally calm expression suddenly changed, and he frowned and said,
"Pindao spent a lot of effort to deduce this matter, and finally came to the conclusion. Although it is a bit cruel, it is also a last resort."
"Senior, I don't want to doubt your hard work, but God has the virtue of good life. If you do this, it would be a bit cruel." Shi Tai stood up and explained on his own initiative.
"Yes, it's cruel. But sometimes, for the sake of the overall situation, some sacrifices are inevitable. You two have been practicing for many years and have experienced the world. Is it possible that you haven't understood it yet?"
Speaking of this, Tian Longzi's eyes sharpened suddenly, with a hint of reproach.
"Senior, please calm down. We don't know the pros and cons. However, there may be a way to work around this matter?"
"Oh?" Tian Longzi suddenly smiled and asked,
"Tell me, besides the Yin-Yang Dragon Training Formation of the poor Taoist, are there any other alternatives?"
"This..." Shi Tai hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chu Feng aside and continued,
"This junior has asked Fellow Daoist Chu for advice on this matter. He may have a solution."
Hearing this, Tian Longzi suddenly looked at him with a pair of black eyes, and said extremely calmly:
"Little friend Chu, you really surprise me again and again. Tell me, what solution do you have?"
"I don't dare to praise my seniors." Chu Feng's expression remained unchanged and he continued,
"It's like this. Chu has a rare treasure in his hand, which can replace the blood sacrifice and activate the operation of the formation."
"What kind of exotic treasure?" Tianlongzi asked urgently,
"You must know that this yin and yang training dragon formation is the result of many years of deduction by the poor Taoist. It connects the dragon energy and converts yin and yang. Every step must be extremely cautious and there must be no mistakes. Speaking of which, the soul-producing blood energy of those thousands of prime men looks like
There are quite a few, but none of them may be able to satisfy the 'appetite' of the formation."
"The appetite is indeed quite big." Chu Feng murmured, but directly refused,
"This rare treasure was given to me by Master Pindao. It is a semi-finished product. It will take some time now and will not be completed yet. How about you wait a few days until everything is ready, then let me watch it?"
"..."
Tian Longzi suddenly fell silent. Being rejected by the other party, he was naturally a little angry. However, as a senior, it was not easy to blame the other party for such a trivial matter.
"In that case, I'll wait and see." At this point, he seemed unwilling to stay any longer and turned to,
"Young man Liu, I will leave for a few days to deal with some personal matters. You will inform me when the formation is set up and all the other fellow Taoists have arrived."
After saying that, without waiting for a response, he set up his escaping light and flew away in a certain direction. Chu Feng glanced in the direction the other party left, and a strange color appeared in his eyes, which was fleeting.
"..."
The atmosphere was a little stiff. After a long time, Liu Hunkang sighed softly and said:
"It seems that senior is a little angry."
"This is normal. After all, if a formation that has been deduced with a lot of effort is rejected, anyone would feel uncomfortable. However, I think Senior Tian Longzi was just angry for a while, and he will get along soon." Shi
Tai said comfortingly.
Hearing the discussion between the two, Chu Feng smiled and said nothing.
Figure it out? I'm afraid it will be difficult. It involves the other party's planning for many years. How can it be possible to figure it out?
"What kind of rare treasure has Brother Daoist Chu prepared? Can you tell me a little bit about it first, so that we can know more about it?"
"If you say it, it won't work. Let Chu give it a try."
Chu Feng still refused to answer, which immediately made Er Dao feel helpless. He thought to himself, this fellow Taoist Chu has such a bad taste, is it too appetizing?
"Okay, then I will rely on fellow Taoist."
…
In the evening, it is getting dark,
At this time, Chu Feng had already returned to the mansion alone. As for the dense forest, Liu Hunkang and Shi Tai stayed behind to respond to emergencies at any time.
Of course, the real core of the Sun Eclipse Formation did not come from the ground, but from the small underworld underground. However, he had already made arrangements there, so there would be no danger.
"Master is back, do you want to prepare dinner?"
When I walked into the back house, I saw Xiao Cui coming towards me.
"No, you go and do your work." Chu Feng waved his hand to signal the other party to leave. When he was about to enter the room, he suddenly said,
"I will be in seclusion for a while. If anyone comes looking for me, just say that I went out to visit friends."
"My maid knows."
Xiaocui nodded obediently, then bowed and slowly stepped back.
After entering the door, Chu Feng did not do anything else, but went straight to the window, looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, and pondered in silence. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was worried about something.
But at this moment, in the darkness of the night, a purple light suddenly flew over and landed on his shoulder in an instant. It was Xiao Zi. He seemed a little excited, and as soon as it landed, he couldn't wait to say:
"Master, he went to the Mayfly Temple."
"Is that true?"
Chu Feng murmured to himself, with killing intent in his eyes.
