Big dreamer

"There is no need to worry about finding clues about the spiritual birds. I have found out that there is a black phoenix depression three hundred miles away from Jinshan Temple. There is a black phoenix demon with phoenix blood in it. It has three golden spiritual feathers on its head, which is very suitable. Make a Hunyuan Umbrella. But this demon is very powerful and has the ability to reach the middle stage of out-of-body cultivation. I sent people three times to retrieve the spirit feathers, but they all failed," Jiang Liu said with a sigh.

"Now that we know the place, it will be easy. We can retrieve the golden phoenix feather for you, Master Jiang Liu. Can master come with us to Chang'an?" Lu Huaming hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shen Luo and said.

"You get back the golden phoenix feather. After I refine the Hunyuan Umbrella, I will be sure that I can suppress the demonic energy in my body. Then I can naturally follow you to Chang'an." Jiang Liu readily agreed this time.

"Okay, then let's make it a deal." Lu Huaming stood up suddenly with a happy face.

"Master Jiang Liu, there are less than five days before the Water and Land Conference. Will we have enough time to retrieve the golden phoenix feather?" Shen Luo remembered something and asked.

"I have basically finished refining the Hunyuan Umbrella. I just need the golden phoenix feathers to be inlaid on it. It doesn't take too much time..." Jiang Liu said after a pause.

"That's good. In that case, we'll set off and return within a day." Shen Luo no longer had any worries.

He and Lu Huaming said goodbye to Zen Master Jiang Liu and Hai Shi immediately, and soon left Jinshan Temple.

…

More than 300 miles south of Jinxia Mountain is the winding Yunling Mountains. The mountains are like a dragon's spine, with meandering water veins in the middle. There are ravines everywhere in the mountains, and there are countless valleys in the mountains. , Heifeng'ao is among them.

Heifeng Ao is adjacent to Jinlong Valley, and there is only an abrupt and towering longitudinal ridge between them. Although there has been the beauty of dragons and phoenixes singing in harmony since ancient times, the scenery inside each other is completely different.

Jinlong Valley faces the sun to the south, with a clear stream flowing in the mouth of the valley, shaded by green trees, birds flying, and spirit beasts running around. It always has a lively and joyful look; while the adjacent Heifeng Col faces the north and is shady, with a mountain col. There is mist all year round, and nameless whirlwinds often arise in the valley, making it impossible for humans and animals to get close to it.

In the early morning of this day, two young men, one in green robes and one in white shirts, stood side by side outside the Heifeng Col Mountain Pass. They looked at the fog that lingered in the mountain col all year round, their expressions a little solemn.

"Brother Shen, if the black phoenix demon in this mountain col has the strength to reach the middle stage of out-of-body experience, if we compete head-on with it with our cultivation, I'm afraid there is no chance of winning. I think it's better to outsmart him." Bai Shiyi The man carrying a long sword is Lu Huaming.

Those who stand shoulder to shoulder with him naturally sink.

"Brother Lu said outwit...what do you mean?" Shen Luo's eyes flashed slightly and asked.

"I have a soul-suppressing talisman here given by Yuan Guoshi. If it can be hit at the Baihui point on the top of her head, it can temporarily block her soul and make her lose control of her body for a short time. At that time, we can easily capture her Golden Phoenix Feather ." Lu Huaming said.

"For a monster in the middle of an out-of-body experience, it's probably not that easy to hit the talisman on its Baihui point accurately." Shen Luo smiled and said.

"Well...it's easier than defeating it." Lu Huaming said with a helpless smile.

"Yes, it's settled then. After entering the valley, I will find a way to contain the black phoenix demon. It's up to you to affix the talisman." Shen Luo thought for a while and said.

Lu Huaming nodded, and the two began to walk towards the col.

As soon as the two stepped into the valley, the mist in the valley was stirred up by the wind brought in by the two. There was an inconspicuous place on the mountain walls on both sides, and a little light shone for a while, and then disappeared. not see.

Deep in the mountain col, there is a small lake as green as jade that is not large in area. Green grass is spread around the lake, and in the middle grows a huge ancient sycamore tree that is dozens of feet high. It has dense branches, green leaves, and is full of vitality.

On the largest branch of the ancient sycamore tree, there lies a huge phoenix bird. Except for the three brightly colored golden feathers on the top of its head, its whole body is all black with three feathers. The long tail dragged from the tree trunk to the ground, with a faint sheen on it, which looked quite eye-catching against the surrounding scenery.

The head of the black phoenix bird is leaning on a branch, its eyes slightly closed, giving it a somewhat anthropomorphic and lazy feel.

At this moment, a crow flew towards the ancient tree above the trunk, but it did not dare to land on the branches. It just hovered far in the air, constantly flapping its wings to prevent itself from falling.

Somewhat strangely, this crow's eyes were actually glowing with a faint golden color.

After a moment, the eyes of the black phoenix divine bird were completely opened, and he glanced at the crow, his eyes were slightly condensed, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Crow shuddered, his body trembled, he lost his balance and almost fell.

But soon, the black phoenix divine bird nodded to him, and the latter flew away as if he had been granted amnesty.

The black wind divine bird looked far away toward the entrance of the mountain col. A black light shone on its body, and its feathers began to shrink rapidly. In a burst of glare, it gradually lost its divine bird state.

A woman in a black dress with snow-white skin and a slim figure appeared immediately, sitting on a branch with her legs crossed. She had a slightly thin face with extremely delicate features, but her expression was very cold, giving people the impression that A sense of distance that cannot be toyed with.

"Mom, what happened?" At this time, a clear and sweet voice suddenly came from under the tree.

The woman in black dress transformed by the black phoenix demon looked down and saw a purple-haired girl in a purple dress standing under the tree. She was slim and graceful, with a pair of bony wings growing on her back.

If Shen were here, he would probably be surprised to find that this woman was none other than the ancient spirit.

"It's nothing. The raven sent word that there were two little mice that didn't know whether to live or die and sneaked into the valley." The black phoenix demon didn't seem to care and said casually.

"Hmph! These human monks really don't know how to live or die. My mother has never taken the initiative to cause trouble for them, but she dares to bully them and ask her daughter to teach them a lesson." Gu Hualing said with a trace of anger in his eyes.

"You have just come out of seclusion. Don't worry about these little things. I have already asked Xuan Pheasant to deal with it." The black phoenix demon looked at the ancient spirit and said with a hint of doting in his eyes.

"My mother has been here for a long time and has a good reputation. Ordinary people must not dare to attack rashly. These two guys dare to come. They must be well prepared. Xuan Pheasant may be difficult to deal with alone. It is better to let my daughter go too. How about helping, just to test the success of practicing in seclusion for so long?" Gu Hualing said with a turn of eyes.

"Okay, then you can go too. Remember, if you are defeated, don't force it." Hearing this, the Black Phoenix Demon felt that it was somewhat reasonable, and nodded.
