"Although there is a formation barrier, it is still difficult to stop the strong fragrance of the blood qiong flower blooming. Then there is a south wind blowing, and it is common for incense to go hundreds or hundreds of miles. At that time, it will definitely attract the blood bats of the grassland, and I hope you don't panic......"
Yue Xuan meant that the strong fragrance of the Blood Qionghua would attract hordes of foreign beasts, that is, blood bats, so he mentioned it to explain, lest the monks present would mess up when the time came, and so on.
Blood bats? I seem to have seen it, it should be a kind of flying guy, no, I remember a few years ago on the way to Lingxia Mountain, the strange beast I saw was called a bloodthirsty spirit bat, very scary. Maybe they are different from each other, but they don't know what their reputation is.
Innocent listened curiously, and quietly looked around.
It is located on the southeast side of the mountain. A few feet away, there is a row of jade railings, which are clearly embedded in the formation feet, and there is a faint light flashing in the sky, and it is connected with the surrounding railings, forming a formation barrier several zhang high, transparent, and shaped like the bottom of a bowl. With the blessing of mana, layers of ripples like water waves move back and forth, making the crescent moon and stars in the sky clear and hazy, like a transparent veil between heaven and earth, making the fantastic magnificence a little more mysterious and weird.
The many monks present were just waiting for the blood qiong to bloom, waiting for the blood qiong jade liquid, and they were looking forward to it one by one. And the strong fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, and I don't know what kind of scene it is like when the blood qiong flower is in full bloom!
However, since that formation can't stop the strange fragrance of Blood Qiong, it may be in vain, and I don't know if it can be broken......
There is no blame for the formation and prohibition, and there is enough jealousy. He doesn't like confinement, he yearns for freedom. He silently thought about his thoughts, and turned to look in the direction of the stone pavilion. And the figure swayed, just blocking the view. He moved a few steps away, and the other man followed suit, completely ignoring his back, and standing on tiptoe with full attention.
This person is so unreasonable, why are you blocking me?
Seeing that the crowd on the left was a little sparse, Wu Ji walked over, but the figure blocking him took two steps back, almost hitting him, and before he could dodge, the man had already noticed it, and hurriedly turned around and smiled apologetically.
It turned out to be an old man with silver beard and silver hair, with a ruddy complexion, kind eyebrows, and a posture of fairy wind and bones, which seemed to give people an inexplicable cordiality, but the majesty of his body was just a master of the seventh layer of the feather warrior!
Without blame or care, he walked to the north side of the mountaintop, where there were few people.
And for some reason, his heart suddenly moved, and he slowly turned his head away, and he was slightly stunned. What about that strange old man......
At the same time, there was a wave of exclamation from the crowd. Immediately afterwards, I heard Yue Xuan raise his voice and say: "At three o'clock, the blood qiong flower blooms-"
I don't have to think about it and look at it intently.
In the stone pavilion, there were purple and blue buds the size of dozens of thumbs growing between the branches of the green tree. As the hour approached, one of the buds quietly bloomed. I saw a petal slowly stretch, and then another petal rose one after another. The red petals are as bright as blood, and as fierce as fire. In a trance, the gasp that seemed to be blooming sounded in the silence. In an instant, a three-inch flower canopy had already bloomed. Like a beauty waking up, lazy and charming, but in an instant it is enchanting and stunning. Then a stronger fragrance permeates the four directions, intoxicating!
Just when everyone was immersed in the delicate and strong fragrance of the blood qiong flower and couldn't extricate themselves, another blood qiong flower bloomed......
At this moment, there seems to be a wind whistling.
Someone raised a warning voice: "The blood bat is coming—"
The monks present didn't care about the blood qionghua, and hurriedly raised their heads to watch.
Looking through the formation, there were black shadows from far and near from the north in the hazy night, in groups, no less than dozens or hundreds. In an instant, a black shadow rushed down, slammed into the formation with a "bang", and then flapped its wings and flew out upside down, still screaming and fierce and unstoppable. And the face of the blood bat is undoubtedly revealed, it is actually a monster with a beast's head, red eyes, a pointed beak, sharp teeth, and two feet like hooks, and two feet of wings!
What kind of blood bat, isn't that the bloodthirsty spirit bat, the name is different, ferociousness and brutality are the same, but in addition to being bloodthirsty, it is also greedy for the strange fragrance of blood qiong......
"Blessing Formation—"
A crisp clatter sounded, and then five or six figures crossed the heads of the monks and landed on the north side of the mountaintop.
Wu Yi was surprised by the ferocity of the blood bat, and a graceful figure came to front of him, it was Yue Qiong who was holding a flying sword, quite heroic, but he glanced back again, and said in disgust: "It's you again, get out-of-"
What do you mean by me again? You're just a monk who has just laid the foundation, and you don't know how thick the sky is!
Blameless shrugged his shoulders and ducked back.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
There was another violent impact, and more than a dozen blood bats rolled and fluttered on top of the formation. And more black shadows followed, and they actually staggered the formation. The madness of the succession is truly shocking.
Yue Qiong raised his hand and pinched the spell, and the formation seemed to dodge a gap. She pointed again, and the sword light took off her hand: "Replace defense with offense, kill blood bats-"
As he ordered, five or six sword lights flew out of the formation, hovering left and right, and fiercely attacked the blood bat. Although the blood bat is fierce, it can't stop the sharp edge of the flying sword, one after another the blood bat was passed through the body by the sword light, and then it was bounced off by the formation, and fell off the cliff one after another.
There are too many blood bats, and there are still countless blood bats that avoid the sword light and crash into the formation. The entire summit shook slightly. Suddenly, black shadows fell, blood was spilled, sword light flickered, and there was a roar, like a catastrophe descending and moving extraordinary.
The remaining disciples of the Yue family did not dare to slack off, and rushed to the four sides of the top of the mountain one after another, and when they blessed the formation, they each sacrificed their flying swords to kill the blood bats.
The monks present were a little overwhelmed, they actually forgot about the blooming blood qiong flower, and just looked up, one by one. Those hundreds of crazy blood bats are comparable to the masters of the feather warriors, if there is no formation to block them, God knows what will happen!
Blameless hid in the corner of the top of the mountain, his eyes flickering slightly.
All the children of the Yue family are dealing with the attacking blood bats. And there is still a person standing on the platform in front of the stone pavilion, which is Yue Xuan, the young city lord. It's shallow and easy to see, he's guarding the Blood Qionghua. In the stone pavilion, more than ten blood qiong flowers have bloomed, like blood-red fireworks burning in the night, and exuding a more intense and intoxicating fragrance.
Although the blood bat is as crazy as ever, it can't match the sharpness of the flying sword after all. The blood bats that escaped by luck were so angry that they were unwilling to give up, and turned eastward, rushing towards the mountain city more than ten miles away. And the children of the Yue family on the top of the mountain, as if they had expected it, did not care, and each urged the flying sword to continue to kill the blood bats that collided with the formation.
Oh, no wonder Stone Town's houses are thick, and the doors and windows are narrow, so it turned out that they had been prepared for a long time, just to resist the invasion of blood bats......
It wasn't until half an hour later that the black shadow above the formation gradually thinned.
More than a dozen children of the Yue family finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they still didn't dare to be careless, and under the leadership of Yue Qiong, they still urged the flying sword to patrol outside the formation.
Someone exclaimed: "All the blood qiong flowers are blooming, so many-"
Between the branches of the green tree in the stone pavilion, forty or fifty blood qiong flowers were stunning.
The monks present came to their senses and rushed forward. That blood qionghua has the ability to improve cultivation, and there is also the magic of breaking through the realm, if you can pick one and get it, your future cultivation will definitely get twice the result with half the effort......!
Since Yue Xuan was guarding the Blood Qionghua alone, he expected it. He smiled slightly at the excited crowd, and flicked his sleeves: "Everyone, stop!"
A water-red figure swept by, and said in a coquettish voice: "Who dares to be presumptuous!"
That is Yue Qiong, although she is a woman, young and beautiful, but her cultivation is extraordinary, and she is decisive and resolute.
The slightly chaotic scene suddenly calmed down.
Yue Xuan nodded, raised his voice and said, "Since my Yue family has a word first, I will not treat you slowly. Bring the wine—"
Two middle-aged men followed the voice, raised their hands and threw out twenty wine jars and placed them on the ground, and opened the mud seal, the faint aroma of wine suddenly mixed with the strange fragrance of blood qionghua, making people want to smell it and couldn't stop.
Yue Xuan walked to the wine jar, and with a backhand move, a blood qionghua left the branch and landed in the palm of his hand. He looked at it for a while, his expression was intoxicated, and then his five fingers were closed, and the magic technique was urged, and the blood qionghua disappeared, and a blood-red essence flew towards the wine jar. After a while, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "A jar of blood qiongyu liquid is enough to benefit ten people." My Yue's family will take out twenty blood qiong flowers to feast on fellow practitioners......"
The monks present all looked grateful and raised their hands one by one to thank them.
Yue Xuan smiled kindly, his eyes slowly swept over everyone, and before he could continue refining the blood qiongyu liquid, he was suddenly slightly stunned, and hurriedly turned around, his expression had changed greatly.
I saw that in the stone pavilion a few zhang away, the blood qiong tree was green and shiny, and the flowers hanging on the branches disappeared one after another. Don't think about it, someone is picking with their hands, it's just a hidden figure, and they are stealing in front of everyone?
"Bold—"
Yue Xuan was stunned, furious, raised his hand and grabbed a sword light, and couldn't help but shout again: "Qiong'er will keep me left and right, whether I live or die-"
He was really angry, and he wanted to catch the bold thief with his own hands.
With an order, Yue Qiong and more than a dozen children of the Yue family all rushed to the stone pavilion. At this moment, the blood qiong flowers in the stone pavilion had been picked up, and then a strong wind counterattacked out, and it actually passed through the blocked formation in an instant.
Yue Xuan raised his hand and pointed, and the sword light roared.
With a "bang", the offensive was blocked.
A figure appeared, and it turned out to be an old man with silver beard and silver hair and fairy wind bones. He couldn't hold back in mid-air, and cried out, "I have been entrusted by people, and I can't think of such a dangerous thing, that's it, that's it—"
He suddenly raised his hand, and a small bag flew through the crowd and directly into the arms of a young man in a green robe. And the other party grabbed the fragrant bag and was dumbfounded......
