Chapter 2883
Xiao Hua watched as the primordial spirit waved the familiar hand signs, but there was no movement. He understood that this must be another difficult exploration, and it was fundamentally different from planting spirit herbs. Thus, he pulled his mind out of the space and began his own comprehension.
However, just before his mind left, he saw the soul of the three-legged bird again. This thing was the soul essence of the spirit treasure in the short Spirit Warrior's hand, and it almost killed Xiao Hua!
Its power and mystery were self-evident.
However, when Xiao Hua was comprehending the pronunciation of the green seal text, he still didn't think of the use of this soul essence.
In the following days, the Flowing Cloud Airship flew deeper into the Meng Mountains, and the number of Spirit Warriors and Spirit Beasts they encountered gradually increased. However, with Zi Ming's face and her Shaman Token, they didn't encounter any trouble.
However, Zi Ming was finally annoyed. After all, she had to explain every time and stop every time. Wasn't it a waste of time?
Thus, under Zi Ming's request, everyone had no choice but to change to a Spirit Beast. Looking at the incomparably large Spirit Beast, Xiao Mao couldn't help but think of the deceased Qie Qi and the two Green Shaman Feathers, and hatred arose in his heart.
He thought of Zi Yan, who was killed by his Drought Demon. That Night Rain was supposed to kill him with Zi Yan, and he didn't know why Night Rain didn't continue to pursue him that day. Otherwise, he could have killed him with Drought Demon's power!
"Perhaps, it's just ahead!
This Xiao can't avoid … facing him directly, and this Xiao can't avoid facing the things that have already happened! "
Xiao Mao's eyes flashed with determination. "After all, this Xiao Mao is not the Xiao Mao of the past. With big brother, Drought Demon, and the support of Great God She Bi's people, I am the emperor!
No one dares to disobey my orders!!! "
The body of the Spirit Beast Zi Ming got from the unknown Shaman Stronghold was probably dozens of feet in size, and with its wings, it was hundreds of feet in size.
This was something Xiao Hua had never seen before. Sitting on the back of this Soul Beast, it seemed to be even steadier than the Flowing Cloud Flying Ship. However, compared to the flying ship, this Soul Beast didn't have any arrays on its back. The whistling heavenly wind that rushed into his mouth and nose made him very uncomfortable.
Of course, everyone's protective yellow talismans and Zi Ming's protective soul technique were all activated, so these hardships were not a problem.
Dozens of days later, a continuous mountain range appeared in the distant horizon. Zi Ming's face showed a trace of joy. He pointed his finger and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, the Houtu Village is in front of us!
I haven't been back for several years! "
"Oh?
Could it be that Ziye didn't go directly from Houtu Stronghold to Grandmaster Ni Qin's place? "Xiao Hua suddenly understood.
"Of course not!" Zi Ming covered his mouth and laughed. "Otherwise, how could I not know about the Drought Demon?
How could you not know that Zi Yan had invited the nine divine guards? "
At this point, Zi Ming's smile gradually faded. He looked into the distance and said, "However, I don't know what's going on in the Houtu Stronghold. How did that damnable Zi Yan know my whereabouts and even arranged such a meticulous sneak attack!"
"We'll know when we get back!" Xiao Hua smiled.
"That's true!"
Zi Ming looked back at Xiao Mao and said to Xiao Hua, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I've already discussed with Young Master Xiao. Today, when we go to the Houtu Stronghold, we won't reveal your identities for the time being. You are all Young Master Xiao's senior brothers and sisters, and you came to Meng Mountains to protect him!
When Young Master Xiao's identity is confirmed, and he gets the approval of Old Wu and Ji Man, his matter will naturally be easy to handle! "
"Of course … no problem!" Xiao Hua waved his hand and said, "We are his senior brothers and sisters!"
"Hehe, Young Master Xiao is naturally a bargaining chip for me. When I find an opportunity to light up the Soul Falling Lamp, I will do my best to support Young Master Xiao!" Zi Ming said with a smile.
"No problem. Everything will be according to our previous discussion!" Xiao Mao nodded, "When we get here, we will follow Miss Zi Ming's lead!"
The soul beast under Xiao Hua's feet was called the Kun Horizon. With a flap of its wings, it flew across several miles. Seeing that the mountain range was getting closer, the Kun Horizon let out a long cry that traveled several miles. Not long after, several soul beasts flew out from the mountain range. They were all controlled by Spirit Warriors. These soul beasts came to welcome them. When they saw Zi Ming standing in front, they all respectfully saluted. Then, some of the soul beasts led the way while others guarded the left side of the Kun Horizon.
When they gradually entered the mountain range, Xiao Hua was stunned. Looking at Fairy Hong Xia who was also stunned, Xiao Hua asked with a bitter smile, "Zi Ye, this … this is the Shaman Stronghold in Meng Mountains?
Is this the Houtu Stronghold where the descendants of the Great God Houtu live? "
"Hehe, of course!"
Zi Ming replied with a smile. Her eyes flashed with a hint of slyness as if she was very satisfied with everyone's astonishment. She asked, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Xiao thinks that only the Three Kingdoms of Cultivators have such beautiful scenery?
That only cultivators like you can live in such an elegant palace? "
"This … of course not!"
Xiao Hua was a little speechless. Pointing at the endless palaces and pavilions in the mountain range, he said, "But … it's called a Shaman Stronghold, so it should look like a mountain stronghold, right?"
That's right. As far as everyone's eyes could see, there were several continuous mountain ranges. Within these mountain ranges, there were dozens of towering peaks.
Whether it was these steep peaks or the slightly flat mountain ranges, there were palaces and pavilions of different sizes on them. These palaces and pavilions seemed to be very simple in style. It was very different from the style of the Imperial Thunder School and the Utmost Happiness School. However, these palaces and pavilions had a kind of elegance, a kind of delicacy, and a kind of indescribable charm. How was this the scene they saw in Bi 'an Stronghold?
Of course, it was beyond their expectations!
"Who said that a mountain stronghold has to be a stronghold?
Who said that palaces and pavilions can't be called a stronghold? "Zi Ming asked mischievously.
"Heh, heh, sister, you should have told us earlier so that we could be prepared!" Hongxia Fairy said with a smile.
"I wanted to tell you, but I didn't know where to start!"
Zi Ming said with a smile, "However, when I was in Sentry City, I heard a lot about the barbarians of Meng Mountain. If I had told you earlier, would you have thought that I was showing off?"
"Heh, heh, let's not talk about this!"
Xiao Hua waved his hand. After taking a closer look, he said with a smile, "Look at the left side of the mountain range. Although the water flow has almost disappeared, there must have been water in the mountains and stones in the water. Even the water villages in Xi Country can't compare to this, right?"
"Alas, that's true!"
Zi Ming sighed, "When this concubine was young, I played in the water with this Midnight. Those big and small streams, high and low waterfalls, and the continuous fine grass like brocade, and the lush forest like spring. It's really a memory that makes one reluctant to part with!
Now, although the wizards and elders in the stronghold have used their magical powers to preserve the previous relics, but … it's not as beautiful as before! "
Zi Ming was right. In the vicinity of the mountain range, around the gurgling stream, there were many dry depressions crisscrossing one another. They looked a little rugged, like old scars on a person's body. On the mountain peak, there were obvious traces of erosion by the waterfall. That's right, at this moment, only the dried moss had withered and turned yellow, even forming an ugly layer. From afar, it looked like scars on a person's face, destroying the beauty of the mountain range.
"Alas, the vicissitudes of life are the power of the Heavenly Way. This is just a small part of it!" Xiao Hua was a little emotional and sighed in a low voice.
While they were talking, they had already flown to the foot of the mountain.
The area at the foot of the mountain was very large. Most of the places were deep valleys. Only the side close to the mountain peak had a flat slope of about a hundred feet. At the edge of this flat slope, there were still some pavilions and pavilions built with thick logs. It seemed like these valleys were originally deep ponds, and these pavilions were built to welcome guests next to the ponds.
The Kun Ya landed on the ground and retracted his wings. The Spirit Warrior who was leading the way and the other Spirit Warriors who were escorting the Kun Ya all dismounted from their soulbeasts and flew down. The dozen or so Spirit Warriors arranged themselves in an elegant formation in front of the Kun Ya. The Spirit Warriors at the front stepped forward and bowed. "Young miss ~"
Xiao Hua was a little stunned. The accent of this Soul Warrior was completely different from the language of the millions of people in Meng Mountain. It was also different from the language of the three cultivation countries of Xiaoyu Continent. However, there were some similarities, and it was easy to distinguish.
"En ~" Zi Ming nodded slightly and gave a few more instructions about Kun Ya. Finally, she pointed at Xiao Mao and said, "This is the honored guest of She Bi Village. The cultivators next to him are his martial brothers. Arrange a quiet room and report to Senior Wu first. I will take them to the guest hall to greet Senior Wu!"
"Yes, miss!"
The Soul Warrior respectfully replied, but then he immediately smiled and said, "However, Senior Wu is not in Hou Tu Village right now. Only Senior Ji Man is in the village!"
"Oh?" Zi Ming was a little surprised. She stopped and asked curiously, "Where did Senior Wu go?
He hasn't left Wu Village for dozens of years. Why did he suddenly … "
"Yes, miss knows!"
The Soul Warrior still smiled and replied, "Senior Wu left Hou Tu Village half a year ago. As for where he went, this little one doesn't know!"
"Is there anything else going on in the village?" Zi Ming stared at the Soul Warrior and asked.
The Soul Warrior was stunned and looked at Zi Ming in confusion. After a while, he said, "Besides sending Soul Warriors to Drifting Cloud Lake and other places, there is nothing special!
In addition, the drought is too serious. Many Senior Wu and Ji Man of Wu Village have gone to Hou Tu Village to discuss countermeasures with Ji Man … "
"And?" Zi Ming frowned and asked, "Is there anything else about the drought?"
"Oh, and young master Zi Yan brought his subordinates to the vicinity of Xiuwen Mountain. It is said that there is a monster that caused the drought there …" The Soul Warrior seemed to have thought of something and quickly answered.
