Chapter 392 The Nine-Tailed Temple 6
"Oh no, we're doomed!"
Fan Yi stared at the mess on the ground and muttered to herself, her gaze fierce as she looked at the "culprit".
Gong Yu and the others, who had broken through the formation, had no idea what had just happened. The phoenix had fallen far too quickly; even within Cheng Jiu's sight, it had only been a fleeting moment.
Gong Yu was still struggling with the formation, so naturally he didn't see it!
Seeing the two people standing in the courtyard, Gong Yu's eyes flashed with surprise: "Junior Sister, you're alright, that's wonderful!"
Gongcheng and the others rushed forward, pulling Cheng Jiu away from Fanyi.
"Human trafficker!"
"Ha! What nonsense are you talking about?" Fan Yi stared at Gong Yu in disbelief. These presumptuous guys! She hadn't even complained about their loud noise and the trouble they had caused!
"Then tell me, where are you taking our junior sister?" Gong Yu retorted, glaring back at her.
“What’s wrong with me taking Cheng Jiu on a date! Even if you’re fellow students, you can’t follow me around all the time!” Fan Yi said matter-of-factly.
"But you can't just stay silent and say nothing, can you?"
"I said I wanted to take her out to play!" Fan Yi felt she hadn't done anything wrong.
"Did you call that an admission? We're with Junior Sister!" Gong Yu still thought she was being unreasonable. "You wanted to be alone, but you didn't say so, and you didn't even warn us when you saw us following you! Isn't it normal for us to misunderstand?"
"Then what should we do now! I don't care, you all have a responsibility too!" Fan Yi felt a little guilty after being criticized by Gong Yu.
It seems that she didn't take them seriously at all, except for Cheng Jiu. Who would have thought that these guys were so capable that they could even break that old monster's formation!
Gong Yu and the others accidentally entered the maze outside, and Fan Yi didn't do it on purpose. But it was definitely not unintentional; at most, she had a mischievous thought of playing a trick on them.
As a result, they shot themselves in the foot; who would have thought that there was a formation genius like Gong Yu in the team?
We managed to follow the clues all the way here!
"What?" Qin Che and the others were a bit confused. How did they suddenly become responsible?
In Cheng Jiu's mind, the phoenix seemed to still be soaring with outstretched wings, whispering a reminder to his unsuspecting senior brothers and sisters: "There was a beautiful phoenix spirit here just now!"
"Phoenix Spirit? Where is it?" Yingyue asked with interest. It is said that the Phoenix Spirit is the most beautiful and rarest of all spirits!
I never expected there would be one here!
It's such a shame I didn't get to see it!
Cheng Jiu pointed to the remaining green jade bamboo pieces on the ground!
Looking at the mess outside the courtyard, Qin Che and the others fell silent, clearly having thought of something!
Spirits are actually a product of rules, and they usually arise in places with beautiful mountains and clear waters, full of vitality!
They can transform into all sorts of spirit beasts. The highest level of spirit is, of course, the spirit of the secret realm produced in the secret realm, who is also the master of the secret realm!
Apart from the spirits of the secret realm.
Spirits are actually quite fragile beings. They represent the manifestation of the will of a particular place, and once the environment changes or is destroyed, the spirits will fall into slumber.
Spirits are not immortal, they just don't perish on their own. But as products of the rules, they have a huge attraction for monsters, spirit beasts, humans, and even demons!
Especially those crafted with spiritual energy were very popular and effective during that era of unbridled development.
Later, spiritual inspiration decreased, and such extravagant behavior never occurred again!
Wild spirits aside, domesticated spirits are usually pets kept by powerful beings in their spare time. The more beautiful and better they are, the more you can see the effort the owner has put in.
The bamboo outside the bamboo courtyard was clearly the place where the phoenix spirit possessed.
It's so beautiful, it's clear how much effort its owner has put into this phoenix spirit!
But now, before Hsinchu has even been planted, the Phoenix Spirit has disappeared!
If it falls into a deep sleep, that's fine, but if it escapes...
We're doomed!
Looking at her silent fellow disciples, Fan Yi grabbed Cheng Jiu, whom she knew best, and said, "You're not thinking of running away, are you?!"
Fan Yi brought her here to broaden her horizons, so Cheng Jiu certainly wouldn't do something so disloyal: "Don't worry, I won't!"
Cheng Jiu did not make decisions for his senior brothers, sisters, or friends.
In truth, this was nothing more than a series of unfortunate coincidences, and it's really no wonder that her senior brothers and sisters barged in because of her!
"Don't worry, we also bear some responsibility for the disappearance of the Phoenix Spirit. We won't let it go unpunished!" Gong Yu raised his head slightly and promised Fan Yi.
The others agreed, after all, Junior Sister Cheng Jiu was being held here, and they wouldn't abandon her and leave on their own.
"The most urgent task now is to determine whether Phoenix Spirit is still here, and whether she has escaped!"
Cheng Jiu spoke up, breaking the somewhat confrontational atmosphere, and analyzed the current situation very seriously.
This matter isn't exactly difficult. Even if they escaped, no matter how vast the bamboo forest is, there are ten of them here, each responsible for a section. They should be able to find the escaped phoenix spirit.
The problem is that the Nine-Tailed Temple isn't just for Cheng Jiu and his group; there are also three hundred tourists.
Although most tourists call themselves Shi Fang, they were attracted to him.
But what if? What if someone swims over here!
Although the phoenix spirit was clearly carefully raised, what if someone who saw it had bad intentions and snatched it away?
Spirits are quite precious, especially spirits that have been raised so well.
With three hundred people in such a large bamboo forest, it's impossible for them to check each one in one day.
Once back in Chengdu, there's no way they'll find it.
"I remember, Senior Brother Kong Zhi came with us too!" Liu Shaoyuan said, remembering something.
"No way!" Everyone present looked pale.
Spiritual energy, in a sense, is also an excellent material for alchemy!
What good can come from falling into the hands of an alchemist?
"Let's go out first!" Qin Che said decisively.
"Senior brother should be able to tell that the spirit has an owner!" Liu Shaoyuan tried to reassure his friend.
"But what if? Where are we going to find a spirit to compensate it?" Miyagi voiced the hidden worry in everyone's hearts.
This is no ordinary spirit; it is a phoenix spirit, one in ten thousand. Although they do not yet know which elder of the Heavenly Mystery Sect raised this spirit.
However, none of the elders of the Heavenly Mystery Sect are easy to get along with. The elders are unlikely to take action against them, but a complaint is inevitable.
It's during the sect competition again, and so many sects are here!
As a result, they got into trouble and were even sued. They couldn't bear the shame!
"That! That!" Fan Yi silently raised her hand, and everyone's eyes turned to her.
"We...we might not be able to get out now!" Fan Yi swallowed hard, and continued under the watchful eyes of everyone:
"This is a private place. To prevent unauthorized entry, Elder Mingshan not only set up defensive magic around the outside, but also set up a sealing formation!"
Close the door and beat the dog!
Cheng Jiu closed his eyes tightly, unsure how to react to the bad news.
They never intended for anyone to escape from the very beginning!
"It's alright, at least the spirit is still here, which is good news! I can induce the birth of new bamboo."
Cheng Jiu tried to look on the bright side and comforted them, saying that as long as they apologized properly, Elder Mingshan would probably not hold it against them.
"Well, the spirit is not restricted!" Fan Yi said guiltily.
"No, why is that?"
Cheng Jiu was somewhat vulnerable, and there was no way to make up for it.
She couldn't understand it at all. Wasn't this courtyard meant to protect the Phoenix Spirit? It restricted people but not spirits, so it was just for catching troublemakers!
"Elder Mingshan was reluctant to part with it. He felt that Phoenix Spirit was free! Moreover, Phoenix Spirit would almost never leave this courtyard."
So those who disturbed the Phoenix Spirit are no longer free? Cheng Jiu silently complained.
There was no better way now, so she walked outside the courtyard, and an invisible greenery spread rapidly from her body to the sides.
The green bamboo grows rapidly, like a vigorous sword.
This miraculous scene represents Cheng Jiu's understanding of the Law of Wood.
Vigorous and full of life, it's almost impossible to tell that this bamboo was artificially ripened.
The green bamboo is lush and vibrant, but it lacks that jade-like luster.
Clearly, things had reached a point that Cheng Jiu and the others did not want to accept.
Phoenix Spirit, it's run away!
But they can't get out!
When Cheng Jiu returned to the courtyard, Fan Yi, looking somewhat disappointed, squatted down in the courtyard.
"Fanyi, do you know how Elder Mingshan usually guides spirits?"
Judging from the appearance of Phoenix Spirit, Elder Mingshan had raised it very well. It would have been impossible to do so without putting in a great deal of effort.
We must spend a lot of time together normally.
Perhaps, by using our usual methods of summoning spirits, we can bring Phoenix Forest back?
"Elder Mingshan is a joyful cultivator!"
Fan Yi rejected the method again with a single sentence. Of the nine people present, all were either sword cultivators or alchemists.
Cheng Jiu and Gong Cheng Gong Yu are tone-deaf.
However, even with music cultivation, there are different levels of music cultivation. How can a low-level music cultivator's performance compare to that of a great master?
This path is completely blocked.
"I've already contacted Senior Brother Kong Zhi! He said he did indeed catch a Phoenix Spirit!" Liu Shaoyuan broke the silence by raising the jade slip.
Kong Zhi and Mo Wen were waiting outside for Cheng Jiu and the others.
Thank God for the gift!
However, this phoenix spirit is really too beautiful. Even Kong Zhi, with his discerning eye, can praise its excellent appearance!
But in Kong Zhi's eyes, Feng Huangling's beauty was not enough to be the focus of his attention!
All he could see was the pure energy emanating from this phoenix spirit. If it were refined into a pill, how high its quality would be!
The phoenix spirit, naturally adept at concealment, was helpless against Kong Zhi. Once the alchemy furnace was closed, it was helplessly absorbed into the furnace.
However, Kong Zhi also knew that this phoenix spirit must have an owner; he was just having a bit of fun and hadn't done anything to harm it.
Then I received a text message from Junior Brother Liu!
I need to find a phoenix spirit!
Kong Zhi realized that it was the same one in his alchemy furnace; it turned out to be the Phoenix Spirit.
Considering the beauty of that phoenix spirit, it truly was a spectacular sight!
I never expected that they escaped from Junior Brother Liu!
But why didn't I see Junior Brother Liu and the others come out?
Cheng Jiu and the others, who were initially worried that Kong Zhi would encounter Phoenix Spirit, were instantly relieved that Kong Zhi had managed to capture Phoenix Spirit.
Fortunately, it was someone they knew, and Phoenix Spirit was alright; they were saved.
Then Kong Chengjiu received a message from Junior Brother Liu, explaining that they were trapped and asking Kong Zhi to ask Elder Mingshan to rescue them!
He also explained that the phoenix spirit was raised by Elder Mingshan.
There was really no other way. Cheng Jiu and Gong Cheng discovered that this sealing formation, which allowed entry but not exit, could not be opened from the inside, at least not from the inside!
Upon receiving the message, Kong Zhi didn't delay and rushed off to the Tianji Sect to find the person.
I don't know if Elder Mingshan is here.
Fortunately, the Nine-Tailed Temple is not far from the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
Then I bumped into an old man!
"Senior brother, are you alright?" The old man next to him caught the old man who was about to fall to the ground.
"Sorry! Sorry!" Kong Zhi apologized repeatedly. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even notice the presence of the two old men and bumped into them right away!
"You, you're a disciple of Medicine King Valley, aren't you? Where are you in such a hurry to go?" The old man who was helping the man looked Kong Zhi up and down, but his gaze fell on the brocade pouch containing the alchemy furnace at Kong Zhi's waist.
"Yes! Greetings, seniors!" Kong Zhi said politely. "I'm so sorry, I was in a hurry to find Elder Mingshan at the Tianji Sect and didn't pay attention to the way. I hope you two seniors will forgive me."
As he spoke, Kong Zhi seemed to have thought of something. These two must also be elders of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, so he asked again, "Do you two seniors know where Elder Mingshan is?"
Elder Mingqiu, the "old man who staged an accident," looked the young man in front of him up and down with a strange gaze.
Elder Mingqiu was invited by Elder Mingshan to come and see his precious Phoenix Spirit.
As a result, they sensed from afar that Kong Zhi was carrying Elder Mingshan's phoenix spirit, and thought he was some petty thief, so they used this method to stop him.
If Kong Zhi couldn't sense it, could it be that these two powerful beings couldn't sense it either?
It's impossible for them to collide like that unless it was intentional.
Now it seems like this was a misunderstanding!
"What brings you to Elder Mingshan?" Elder Mingshan asked gently.
"It's like this..." Kong Zhi explained the whole story simply and clearly: "I want to ask Elder Mingshan to rescue Junior Brother Liu and the fellow Daoists from Guiyuan Sect!"
"Hmph, that little fox!" Elder Mingshan knew who the culprit was as soon as he heard it: that little glutton who had been eyeing his Phoenix Spirit ever since he entered the sect.
I couldn't get to eat it, and I kept thinking about it. I even made a friend and shared it with them.
"I've seen those young men and women from the Guiyuan Sect; they all have bright, clear eyes."
As for the little fox, the little girl only ever craved it, but never actually tried to eat it!
"Just keep spoiling her, don't spoil the devil too much!"
Elder Mingqiu and Elder Mingshan represent two completely different opinions of the Tianji Sect regarding Fanyi.
Elder Mingqiu felt that the little girl was innocent and had no bad intentions. She had also suffered so much. As long as she didn't make any mistakes, it wouldn't hurt to spoil her a little.
Elder Mingshan felt that Fanyi was, after all, a demon, wild and untamed, and needed to be strictly disciplined to prevent her from causing trouble.
Both sides held their own opinions, but the Tianji Sect still took care of Fan Yi.
Just like now, although Elder Mingshan was complaining about Fanyi, he didn't show any anger at Fanyi's rash act of bringing people to see the phoenix.
