From the exit of the channel all the way down to the molten pool palace, there are four to five hundred layers of jade stairs. Each floor is more than ten feet wide, separated by three floors, while Zhang Shiping is only about eight feet tall, and Old Huoya is only seven feet tall. The two monks look much smaller on such a large staircase. . But this is not a difficult task for them. If the old fire crow insisted on walking step by step, Zhang Shiping would follow behind.
Therefore, when Zhang Shiping heard the words of the strange beast in the molten pool below, his sight was just blocked by the jade stairs.
"It seems that this fellow daoist knows me, but Zhang has never met a fellow daoist in his memory." Zhang Shiping followed the old fire crow down the stairs, and said with an unchanged expression.
"Do you remember Gu Quan?" The strange beast jumped out of the molten pool and floated into the air, looking at Zhang Shiping and said.
"Gu Quan?" Zhang Shiping was somewhat puzzled.
After saying the somewhat impressive name, he paused for a moment, and then suddenly said: "It turns out that the guy who was hiding his head and showing his tail, pretending to be a ghost was a fellow Taoist. I thought it was some kind of existence, but it turned out to be just a third-level mid-stage It’s just a cow demon.”
But it wasn't until he got close that Zhang Shiping realized that there was an extremely strong vitality in this cow monster. He obviously felt an instinctive impulse in his body and soul, and he wanted to swallow it in one gulp. It is not a monster, but more like a walking panacea that has transformed itself.
"The cow monster? You are the cow monster. Your whole family is a cow monster. I am like a beast. You coward, open your eyes and see clearly." The cow monster was furious and said with spittle.
Zhang Shiping looked at the bull demon yelling and swearing, and frowned slightly, as if he wanted to curse back, but he seemed a little speechless because he was worried about the old fire crow in front of him. However, he was secretly watching the old Fire Crow's every move. He wanted to see what was the relationship between the cow demon and the Fire Crow Demon Lord? Otherwise, according to Zhang Shiping's temperament, how could he be happy and angry!
Although the fire crow monster looked kindly and kindly, Zhang Shiping still deeply remembered the evil spirit that flashed from him in the square earlier.
The commotion between the two of them drew an indifferent glance from the old fire crow, and it said slowly, "Jiang Si, if you continue to make such noise, then I will sew your broken mouth shut, and hurry up to absorb it." Huo Sha, don't miss out."
"Don't be angry, old man. I've sucked enough fire spirit today, so I'll immediately refine the longevity liquid you need." Jiang Ru's deer face immediately smiled charmingly, and then turned around, donkey With a flick of his little tail, he ran towards the palace with all four hooves in the air, leaving faint red flames in the air, which quickly extinguished.
Then the old fire crow turned his head, looked at Zhang Shiping meaningfully, then a red light flashed, and transformed into a single-legged flying bird with red feathers and white beak with a wingspan of more than twenty feet, soaring across the remaining miles of distance, After a few breaths, he landed in front of the jade gate of the palace, and jumped in without hesitation.
Zhang Shiping frowned, the old demon's last glance made him feel that he was completely seen through, as if he had seen his little move just now.
"Soldiers come to block it, water to cover it with earth." Zhang Shiping thought to himself. Then he rose into the air, did not do anything to anger the old fire crow, and flew towards the palace floating on the molten pool without any hesitation.
The hall here is more than a hundred feet high, the gate of the hall is sixty or seventy feet high, and more than twenty feet wide. When he floated down, he saw three huge silver-patterned ancient demons on a plaque more than ten feet above the jade gate. Text 'Xiaotanggu'.
I don't know who wrote these three characters, but it gave Zhang Shiping a feeling of blending water and fire. He seemed to see a huge phantom several tens of feet high, and he was holding the pen and writing it with a swipe. The bursting of the fire and the tolerance of the water seem to be perfectly presented in these three words.
"Why are you still standing at the door, come in." Old Fire Crow said lightly.
Zhang Shiping couldn't help but look a few more times, and when he heard the voice coming from the palace, he immediately withdrew his gaze and walked forward.
The space inside is extremely wide, but the layout is very simple, there are no tables and chairs, only the sapphire pillars that are more than a hundred feet high stand in it, and in the middle of the palace, there is a square of Li Xu Fangyuan. Yanchi.
In the center of Yanchi, there grows a fire mulberry spirit tree seventy or eighty feet high and ten or so feet thick, which is as big as a hill, and its whole body is crystal clear and shining red. This fire mulberry spirit tree began to separate branches and leaves at thirty to forty feet from the trunk, covering the entire Yanchi, and the old fire crow that entered before perched on one of the branches, shrouded in haze. In the hazy blue light.
And on the edge of the Yanchi, the bull demon who claimed to be the Four Immortals was jumping off the Huosang Lingmu and flying towards Zhang Shiping.
Zhang Shiping's eyes were fixed, and he saw that the two grayish-yellow right horns on the top of the cow monster's head seemed to have been cut by something, and there were bloodstains on the wounds. At this moment, the cow demon's aura is a little weaker, but it doesn't have the vigorous vitality before, it doesn't look like a walking elixir.
"It seems that your situation is not very good, fellow daoist." Zhang Shiping looked at the cow monster and said calmly through voice transmission.
"Although I don't know why the old man keeps you, you will be the same as me in the future. If it weren't for you, sir, I wouldn't leave the Mingxin Secret Realm, and I wouldn't meet this old man later." Jiang He seemed to glance at Zhang Shiping, and then spoke in a concentrated voice.
The two of them passed sideways, only said this sentence, and stopped talking.
Zhang Shuili walked forward, waiting for the old demon's orders by the pool, while Jiang Ru walked slowly to the door.
After a cup of tea, the blue light that shone around the old fire crow gradually became thinner, and then completely disappeared.
The old Huoya opened his eyes, looked down at Zhang Shiping and said:
"More than a hundred years ago, the three true spirits of Bi Fang, Jinwu, and Qinglong reappeared in the small world after five or six thousand years. Presumably you, Bi Fangyan, also obtained it at that time, and only at that time will the true spirit be aroused. The remnant is the reappearance of Bi Fangyan. Among my Bi Fang clan, there are not many people who have awakened this fire, let alone as pure as you. It's just you, kid, who combined this spiritual flame with the natal golden elixir Fire and silver flames are compatible. This gentleman needs you to divide the black flame you have cultivated, and re-extract the true source of this Bifang flame for this gentleman to practice. As long as you complete this task, after 23 years, Nanfa Temple Open it, and I will let you go free at that time."
"Since the seniors have orders, the juniors should obey." After hearing what the old Huoya said, Zhang Shiping frowned and said with cupped hands. There was still a little doubt in his eyes, as if he was a little puzzled.
