I run a cram school in the realm of self-cultivation

Ji Zhao glanced across the crowd, finally landed on Chen Yiniao, and asked:

"What are you doing?"

Chen Yiniao chuckled, but didn't speak.He moved backwards and immediately hid behind Fang He.Although he didn't know what the relationship between Fang He and Ji Zhao was, after all, Fang He had held Ji Zhao hostage before, and standing behind him would give him a sense of security.

Sure enough, following his actions, Ji Zhao's gaze shifted and landed on Fang He.At the same time, the other examiners also followed Ji Zhao's line of sight.

Being watched by so many examiners, Fang He raised his eyes lightly, and turned his eyes around all the examiners, then slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a light smile: "Why, all the examiners are also quite interested tonight, Enjoy the moon with us."

Appreciate the moon, I believe you a ghost.

The other examiners silently rolled their eyes in their hearts, and they looked up towards the sky.At this moment, the sky is gray, with misty clouds swaying in the sky, and there is no light to be seen.

One examiner couldn't help but said in a rough voice: "Where is the moon here? Let me see. All of you will be arrested and sent to be punished."

"Punishment?" Fang He raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the examiner.The examiner had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his belt was not fastened, revealing a large honey-colored chest.

The examiner's face was very unfamiliar, and Fang He had never seen it before.Come to think of it, they don't belong to the same era as Ji Zhao and Wu Chengxian.

Fang He: "What did we do? Have to accept punishment?"

The examiner sneered: "With so many people gathered here, don't they want to cause trouble? Taiyi, Chen Wuhao..."

He read it word by word, and the examiners whose names he had read couldn't help raising their heads, and looked at the examiner.Chen Yiniao, who was standing behind Fang He, said to Fang He after hearing these names:

"These people whose names have been called are probably ranked between two hundred and three hundred. They should be the examiners under his name."

The examiner had a sullen face, and after reporting the names of more than 70 examiners, he stopped and snapped, "Why, come out of the crowd! Come out now, and the punishment given to you by heaven may not be as high as it is!" It will be lighter."

After he finished that sentence, Fang He could clearly feel that the surrounding atmosphere became tense.The examiners whose names were called all looked in Chen Yiniao's direction.Standing behind Fang He, Chen Yiniao said to the examiner through his shoulder:

"What's wrong with us? If Heaven wants to punish us, we should also pay attention to the rules. What did we do? Did we disturb the order of Heaven, or did the examiner have to take action to help hunt the birds all day, or held the examiner hostage?" gone?"

Chen Yiniao spoke out the violations one by one, and Fang He could feel the sympathy from the other examiners' eyes on Ji Zhao. Obviously, they did not expect that there would be an examiner acting so arrogantly.Even Wu Chengxian, who was lazily standing among the examiners at the moment, couldn't help but chuckled and said:

"Disciplinary Examiner, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have fallen to this point."

He has been playing birds all day, he can laugh at Ji Zhao for the rest of his life with this joke.

Ji Zhao frowned, and stood there gently, as if he didn't notice the abnormal gazes of the examiners around him.His eyes fell lightly on Chen Yiniao's body, and he said softly: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Yiniao is still obsessed with ordinary punishment."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yiniao's head swished and disappeared behind Fang He's shoulder.Fang He glanced at Ji Zhao, and then said softly: "If I'm not wrong, Tiandao sent all the examiners here to check if there is anything unusual."

"Every examiner, there should be nothing unusual, you can go back and have a good rest."

Nothing unusual?A group of people didn't sleep in the middle of the night, gathered in front of the bone tower, and mobilized the crowd, didn't they seem to be abnormal?However, the examiners couldn't find a reason at all.

They could only watch Fang He and nodded slightly towards them, and then said to them: "Then please don't block the way, the examiners. It's almost time, and it's time for us to set off."

The examiners looked at each other, not knowing how to react.On the other hand, Wu Chengxian, who had been silent all this time, chuckled lightly at this moment and said, "Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go back."

His fiery red sleeves curled slightly downwards, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared around the corner of the bone tower.

The examiner who spoke before said in a rough voice at this moment: "Let's go like this." Ji Zhao glanced at him lightly, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go."

"After all, they did nothing wrong." Ji Zhao said, glanced in Chen Yiniao's direction, then turned around and walked towards the back of the bone tower.Seeing this, the other examiners also left one after another, and their figures disappeared into the night.

"Leave like this?" Chen Yiniao raised his head, glanced over Fang He's shoulder, and after making sure that there were no examiners in front of him, he stood beside Fang He and said, "Amazing, this is the first time I have , was not punished by the system."

As soon as Chen Yiniao finished speaking, everyone responded eagerly.

Fu Keqiu stood not far from them, and said in a low voice: "Just with the look of those examiners, I thought we were going to be finished."

"Yeah, I also thought we were going to end this time. Did all the examiners come out just now?" Someone said uncertainly.

"Anyway, my examiner has come out."

"Mine came out too."

"And mine and mine."

A large group of people were clamoring there, and after experiencing the silence just now, the expressions on their faces became more excited.Obviously, the departure of the examiner made them even more excited.

Chen Yiniao said right away, "Then let's leave quickly, hurry up and stay in the mirage as long as possible."

Under the leadership of Chen Yiniao, everyone walked into the vast desert in the dark.

The temperature in the desert is very low, but fortunately, Fang He's sword is extremely cold.The strong wind blew on him, and he could only feel a trace of coldness.Others were not so lucky. Chen Yiniao was already wearing thick clothes one after another, and explained slightly to the people behind him:

"This kind of cold is very overbearing, and the spiritual power is basically useless. Please put on more clothes to keep your body warm. As long as you enter the mirage, you won't feel cold!"

While saying these words, Fang He could see that Chen Yiniao's lips trembled slightly, and the breath from his mouth billowed upwards and melted into the night.At this moment, the surroundings are peaceful and quiet, only the sound of footsteps lightly trampling on the sand can be heard.

Finally, after walking for an unknown amount of time, someone pointed in one direction with a trembling voice and said, "That must be a mirage."

Everyone stopped at this moment.When the other party spoke, they also saw the mirage that the person said.

In the dark night, the mirage reveals a bit of desolation and desolation.People's eyes fell there, with scrutiny in their expressions.Even Fang He couldn't help frowning, and poked over with a touch of spiritual consciousness.

Before the spiritual consciousness approached the mirage, it was annihilated by an invisible force.

Fang He suppressed the smell of blood in his throat, and heard countless muffled groans ringing in their ears.Obviously, there are many people like him who tried with spiritual knowledge, but they all failed in the end.

Fu Keqiu asked Chen Yiniao: "Are you sure you can enter this mirage?"

Chen Yiniao glanced at him and said, "Of course." He seemed to have thought of something, smacked his mouth and said, "I forgot to say just now, don't use your spiritual sense to spy, otherwise, you may suffer some harm." .”

"It's too late for you to remind me." Someone in the crowd said sadly.Fortunately, the injury to the spiritual consciousness was not very serious.

After seeing the mirage, everyone rested in place for a while.By the way, take some time to listen to Chen Yiniao's talk about the scene he saw in the mirage at night.This should have been said in front of the bone tower, but in the end it had to be moved here because of the arrival of the examiner.

Five or six hundred Tianjiao gathered together to form a circle, surrounded Chen Yiniao and listened patiently.In the end, Fu Keqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that those currency birds are the real descendants of the Suzaku birds. It is extremely difficult to deal with them."

"It's not just that." He Qizheng said, who had been standing aside without speaking, "I even feel that there is an identical bone tower in this mirage."

As soon as He Qizheng's voice fell, the faces of the people around showed a bit of surprise.Only Fang He glanced at him lightly and said, "That's true. I saw it in the daytime. But unfortunately, I didn't go in."

Thinking flashed across the eyes of everyone, and after about a stick of incense, they got ready to go and walked in towards the mirage.During the movement, Li Wansheng, Cheng Lu and they slowly rushed up from the rear of the team and stood beside Fang He.

After seeing Chen Yiniao, Li Wansheng couldn't help but hugged Chen Yiniao with his body.Chen Yiniao touched his nose and was squeezed away aggrieved.

When spiritual consciousness enters, it will be eroded, but obviously, if a person enters, nothing will happen.

After Fang He stepped into the mirage, he only felt the scene in front of him flicker, and in the next second he came to a dense forest.The shade of the trees covering the sky and the sun was reflected on Fang He's body, the surrounding air was slightly damp, and he could faintly smell the fresh smell of soil.

Fang He lowered his head, and under his feet were the solid roots of the big tree, which dug into the ground firmly to absorb nutrients.From above his head, there was still some Qingyue chirping, and when he looked up, he could only see a fiery red bird tail flashing past his eyes.

This is a mirage, a place completely opposite to the original desert.And what made Fang He even more interesting was that there was no one around him.

Five or six hundred Tianjiao are scattered in this vast land.Fang He raised his foot and walked in one direction.

It's night in the desert, and it's night here.Therefore, Fang He walked very carefully, avoiding unexpected situations and not reacting in time.In the process of walking, he also tried to run his spiritual consciousness, but found that his spiritual consciousness could not be extended at all.

In other words, he couldn't search a large area so that he could quickly find his companions.This is quite interesting.

Fang He walked forward for about half a stick of incense, and suddenly felt the ground tremble violently.His figure quickly flashed among the forests, and flew towards the center of the shock.The closer he was to the target point, the more he could hear a heart-piercing roar, and...

The voice is still very familiar.

Fang He leaned on the tree trunk, watching Chen Yiniao run forward with his ass dripping, and behind him, there was another bald bird following his ass, pecking fiercely.

Seeing such a scene for a moment, Fang He couldn't help but laugh.When the bald bird in front of him was about to stretch its neck and its beak was about to peck Chen Yiniao's buttocks, Chen Yiniao couldn't help speeding up his pace and ran away in a flash.

The bald bird stood on the spot, looked around, but finally couldn't find Chen Yiniao's figure, so it could only sway, shake its fat butt and leave.

At this moment, Chen Yiniao, who was being sought by the bald bird, was standing beside Fang He, rubbing his buttocks with one hand, looking pitifully at Fang He and saying:

"It's too miserable for me. It's the first time I've been pecked by a bird!"

Fang He also found it a little funny, and he said, "Why are you messing with that bird?"

"I didn't provoke you." Chen Yiniao became even more aggrieved, "I am the Beast Master, I originally wanted to use my Beast Mastery to make that bird listen to my thoughts, but unexpectedly, my bird he Do not follow my orders."

Chen Yiniao seemed to have noticed something, his eyes slid down and landed on his lower body, and he said shyly: "Of course, it's not this bird hehe."

Fang He had lost his eyesight, and he slightly turned his head and said, "So, you can't communicate with birds and beasts."

Chen Yiniao straightened his face and said: "It should be possible. I had already controlled the bald bird, but when I gave the first command, it became restless, and then resisted and came to peck me."

Fang He asked curiously, "What order did you give?"

Chen Yiniao touched his nose, and said with some guilt: "I let it peck its own feathers. Didn't I just want to try, is the other party under my control?"

Fang He almost laughed out of anger, and asked a bird so bald that he could see the top of his head to peck the few remaining feathers on his body.Chen Yiniao's ability to think of this command is really awesome.

No wonder, was caught and pecked by that bird.

Chen Yiniao confessed his cowardice, lowered his eyebrows and said to Fang He: "You looked around, did you find anything wrong here?"

Fang He slightly raised his eyebrows and asked bluntly, "What did you find?"

Chen Yiniao chuckled, rubbed his buttocks and said, "The skeleton of that bird just now is completely different from that of the currency bird in the desert, but some body structures are surprisingly similar. I suspect that this bird It has a certain relationship with the desert currency bird."

"Young birds, or birds thousands of years ago."

Chen Yiniao squatted on the branch, said with a thoughtful expression: "These birds are very spiritual. Anyway, I have never encountered such a spiritual bird in the third heaven. Compared with those currency birds, these birds are all ancestors. .”

"Ancestor, a few years ago, tens of thousands of years ago, it was still an even longer time."

"Ancient times." Fang He raised his voice slightly, squinting his eyes slightly and said, "Imagine, the desert we see today is the forest tens of thousands of years ago. And the currency bird is indeed the bird of the Suzaku Descendants, but not as pure as tens of thousands of years ago."

"What's the matter with the heavens, why do you choose some past time points." Chen Yiniao's complaint made Fang He turn his head to look at him, and he said with some surprise, "You have also arrived at past?"

"Of course I went." Chen Yiniao said, "It was the previous high-ranking Tianjiao ranking assessment. We went there 500 years ago. Like the previous examiner who was in charge of 500 to [-] people, [-] years ago I met him once before, and at that time, he ranked quite high in the Tianjiao list. It's just..."

The rest of the words were swallowed by Chen Yiniao.It's just that Tianjiao, who was famous 500 years ago, had to obey Ji Zhao's words at this moment.In the cultivation world, there are as many Tianjiao as grassroots.Every few hundred years, a few will appear out of nowhere.And there is only one Xie Lingtai who can leave a shadow in the long river of history and influence future generations.

In the shadow of Xie Lingtai, Wu Chengxian, Zhen Shan, Ji Zhao and the others also radiated a scorching brilliance.

The fiercer the competition, the more people can break through themselves in adversity.

Thinking of this, Chen Yiniao suddenly realized something, and said to Fang He, "Yes, you were also arranged?"

Fang He responded lightly: "I went to the prosperous era more than 1000 years ago." As for the rest, Fang He didn't intend to say more.

Chen Yiniao said: "Then this is the ancient times. It just so happens that I have never tried my Beast Control Technique on these rare and exotic beasts. This time, I can hurry up and try it."

Fang He looked up at the sky, and said with a final word: "Try three times, no matter whether we succeed or not, we have to go. We must find the bone tower before dawn."

Darkness and darkness are the dividing points of the two environments.Fang He didn't think that there would be a change in the mirage.Therefore, Chen Yiniao was only given three times.During Chen Yiniao's experiment, Fang He was not idle, and picked some more precious "medicine materials" on the way.

These medicinal materials were only slightly similar to those precious medicinal materials of later generations, and Fang He only managed to recognize most of them after half-guessing.These medicinal materials are rich in medicinal power. Even if Fang He holds it in his hands, he can keenly feel that his spiritual consciousness has become active.

He glanced at Chen Yiniao.The communication time between Chen Yiniao and the birds and beasts was extremely long, and it took about half an hour at a time.Three times, about an hour and a half.For such a long time, Fang He can refine these medicinal materials.

He sat on the ground, took out a pill furnace from his refining ring, and then threw the medicinal materials into the pill furnace very calmly.Fang He held his breath and strictly followed Professor Ji Zhao's method, which was divided into three purifications to squeeze out the impurities inside.What surprised Fang He was that the medicinal materials in his hand, after being purified once, had almost no impurities.The next two times, he just went through a process.

The strong medicinal fragrance swayed in the air, and the light green liquid slowly flowed, and was finally lifted up by Fang He with spiritual power, and carefully put into the bottle.When he raised his eyes again, he saw Chen Yiniao looking at him in surprise and saying:

"You are actually a pharmacist?"

Fang He put the bottle away, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, it doesn't look like it?"

"Like, very like." Chen Yiniao hesitated for a moment, and replied instantly.It's just...he has never seen such an aggressive alchemist.

Fang He put away all the bottles in his hand, his eyes fell on Chen Yiniao, and asked softly, "Did you succeed in the experiment?"

"Success!" Chen Yiniao said, he stepped back slightly, and a pheasant stood behind him, looking up at them.

This bird, which looks like a pheasant, even flies at a similar height, all in mid-air.Chen Yiniao and Fang He lay on the pheasant's back, and the strong wind poured into his mouth.

Chen Yiniao hugged the pheasant's neck happily, and said to Fang He, "Brother Fang, now we are a three-bird combination, one bird, crane, and pheasant."

Fang He: ... No, he doesn't want to hear his name combined with the word pheasant at all.

They originally thought that they would reach the center of the bone tower soon, but after flying for about half an hour, they saw the shadow of the bone tower.An hour later, they finally arrived at the bone tower.

This bone tower is exactly the same as the one in the center of the desert, both in height and shape.Fang He and Chen Yiniao looked at each other. They walked in and found a pile of utensils on the bone pagoda, just like the one in the desert.

But these utensils, no matter the technique or the structure, are a bit old-fashioned, and they are not considered sophisticated utensils at all.But in ancient times, these utensils were placed here in a dignified manner, and were sold at a price clearly marked by the Dao of Heaven.

"It seems that what we are currently in should indeed be a point in the past." Chen Yiniao's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said, "In this way, the scene in front of us should be fake."

"Since that's the case, then we might as well do something big, completely at this time, to start the name of our two-bird combination!"

Fang He:? ? ?

His heart sank, and he asked hoarsely, "What are you going to do?"

Chen Yiniao said as a matter of course: "Brother Fang, hehe, aren't you a pharmacist? Aren't pharmacists all hot!"

Chen Yiniao opened his hands and said in an aria-like tone: "Then let your fire ignite the enthusiasm of this forest."

As soon as Chen Yiniao finished speaking, a group of people emerged from all directions of the bone tower.With swords in their hands, they surrounded Fang He and Chen Yiniao.

Fang He glanced at Chen Yiniao, and said indifferently: "Look, the enthusiasm you want has come."
