The night was thick, and the dark red moonlight could be vaguely seen through the dark clouds.
The cold wind swayed the branches and leaves of the fairy grass and fairy tree, rustling.
The Kunlun monks have always been clothed in fluttering clothes, spotless and immaculate, with a clean diet and clean couches, but at this moment, none of them look like high-ranking immortal cultivators. warrior.
They wiped their long swords repeatedly, silently recited the mantras they had already memorized, their long hair was neatly bundled into the hair crown, and then they sat cross-legged on the ground near the mountain gate, meditating silently, adjusting their internal organs. Breathing, accumulating true energy for the upcoming decisive battle.
"Immortal Lord, this place is dangerous. Now that you have finished your inspection, please go back to the palace to avoid the sharp edge." Several immortal elders saluted Yu Tianji.
"If I hide by myself, I won't have the face to be your fairy master." Yu Tianji said: "Master Jijiu and I will stay here and not go anywhere."
Seeing that Yu Tianji was dressed in a black military uniform with a long sword hanging from his waist, the elders also understood that this second young master was usually dressed in fancy clothes, but today he was dressed in a military uniform. It is impossible to persuade him to go back at this moment.
"It's really my Kunlun luck that the Immortal Master has such a spirit." Several Immortal Elders sincerely praised.
"My father died at the hands of the demon sect. This is a blood feud that cannot be shared." Yu Tianji said: "I will naturally advance and retreat with you."
The monks got his promise, their morale was boosted, and they all dispersed and adjusted their breathing according to the order.
Li Yuebai didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, sat on the ground, unfolded a few scrolls, and read them carefully.
"It's already at this time, Master Jijiu is still studying hard?" Yu Tianji moved over and sat opposite him.
The monks all dispersed, and they couldn't see the smile on Yu Tianji's face, nor could they hear his words that resumed his frivolous tone—just now, in order to show his leadership, Yu Tianji had to restrain himself. Mr. Jiu, he revealed his true colors.
"The more it is at this time, the more you can't relax even a little bit." Li Yuebai said.
In fact, Li Yuebai's hands had already broken out in cold sweat, and his heart was cold.
He has never been burdened with the lives and deaths of so many people, even if he has accumulated some courage in the previous two crossings, it is still far from enough.
"Are you scared?" Yu Tianji teased.
"Of course I'm afraid." Li Yuebai didn't look at him, his eyes were fixed on the scroll, and he admitted without hesitation.
His hand holding the scroll was trembling slightly, Yu Tianji saw all of this.
"Unexpected." Yu Tianji shook her head again and again: "Master Jijiu has experienced many battles, and he is still afraid..."
It is Mu Qingning who has experienced many battles, not Li Yuebai.
Li Yuebai just maintained a cold and serious expression, and didn't answer.
"Master Mu, after defeating the Demon Sect, you will move to live in the Hall of Auspiciousness?" Yu Tianji began to tease again: "Father has been addicted to pills for many years, and has accumulated many affairs that have not been dealt with. Without you, I can't handle it." Finish. When the time comes, you review the rulers and documents, and I'll serve you tea... how about it?"
"The Hall of Auspiciousness only belongs to members of the Yu Clan. It would be inappropriate for me to go there." Li Yuebai said.
No, still panic.
No matter whether he opened his eyes or closed them, he could see the scene of the demon sect slaughtering and blood flowing everywhere.
Distraught, just want to find a place where there is no one to vent.
"Mu Meiren, I recently learned a new trick, how about showing it to you?" The more Yu Tianji said, the more outrageous it became.
"Now is not the time..." Li Yuebai frowned.
Yu Tianji didn't seem to hear what he said at all, and performed a trick on her own.
With a slight flip of his hands, a transparent crystal ball appeared in the air, with thousands of stars shining in the ball, just like the decorations displayed in modern stores.
As expected of Yu Tianji, this style of play fits his character too well.
Li Yuebai wanted to laugh at his childishness, but he was not in the mood.
However, if one looked into the depths of the crystal ball... the more one looked, the more one felt that it was indeed a starry sky, exactly the same as the starry sky he had seen on the roof of the building.
Ye Qing's figure could not help appearing in his mind, Li Yuebai was a little distracted for a moment.
The battle is imminent, and I shouldn't have thought about the last time, but... If there is a slight mistake in this battle, I will die. I don't know if I will have the chance to see Ye Qing again after I fail the mission.
Just as he was distracted, he saw the crystal ball in front of him shake and explode.
It turned out that the ball was made of condensed water, and it exploded into tens of millions of water droplets, all of which splashed on Li Yuebai's face, making him shiver from the cold.
"Immortal Lord, don't mess around!" Li Yuebai wiped the water from his face in embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter if I mess around or not." Yu Tianji smiled: "The important thing is that Lord Jijiu is not afraid now."
Li Yuebai froze for a moment, looked at his fingers still holding the scroll, and sure enough, they no longer trembled.
I used to hear people say that the best way to relieve tension is to be frightened, but I didn't expect to experiment it on myself in this way.
"Master Jijiu is just too preoccupied. Why do you tie the lives and deaths of thousands of people to yourself?" Yu Tianji rested her chin and stared at him with interest: "You are not a fairy master, and you It's not their parents and elder brothers... They forced you to come out, even if you lose the command and everyone dies, that's what they asked for."
"How can the fairy master say such a thing." Li Yuebai smiled wryly.
"Besides, even if people live thousands of years, they are just mayflies in front of the sun, the moon and the stars." Yu Tianji pointed unsteadily at the top of the cloudy head: "Even if it is a star, I don't know which day it will be." , exploded with a bang, turned into a meteor and fell down..."
"I understand what the fairy master means." Li Yuebai smiled wryly.
Yu Tianji said that it was a mess, it was nothing more than to let himself look at it, and not to put too much pressure on it.
However, if he was really going to die tomorrow... at least there was one thing he still wanted to figure out.
Just when he saw the starlight in the crystal ball, the doubts in his heart surfaced again——Yu Tianji, could it be Ye Qing
If you don't ask, maybe you won't have a chance.
"System." Li Yuebai asked secretly in his heart: "If I ask him about time travel, about another world... is it allowed?"
"Host, as long as you can bear the consequences, you can do anything." The system replied: "But I still advise you, try not to violate the identity and character of the original owner, otherwise it will arouse suspicion from others."
Li Yuebai closed his eyes and pulled out a yellow talisman paper from his sleeve.
Then, dipped his finger in the cinnabar, and carefully drew a talisman on it.
The drawing is an ordinary spell pattern, the function is to heal wounds, but in the pattern, he added two simple words—joker and vila.
This is the secret code that he and Ye Qing agreed upon, Ye Qing may lose a lot of memory, but this secret code may be remembered.
The system follows me from this time on, and I don't remember the last time I wear it, so I secretly match the code without being noticed by the system.
He put the talisman paper in front of Yu Tianji as if nothing had happened, and said softly: "This is a healing spell. Immortal Lord, remember it carefully. It may be useful in the battlefield tomorrow."
"I don't want Master Mu Xian to love me so much." Yu Tianji took it over, looked at it carefully, rubbed it with her fingers a few times, and said: "It's so messy, I'm afraid I won't remember it for a while, why don't I ask Master Mu Xian to help me?" I will draw a few more, and I will take them with me to save my life tomorrow."
He looked at the spell carefully, but his eyes did not change, and his breath did not fluctuate.
Li Yuebai sighed in his heart.
That's all.
"Since the Immortal Lord is not going to meditate and adjust breath, why not accompany me to inspect the other mountain gates again." Li Yuebai looked at the map for the last time, put it in his sleeve, then quietly lifted a lantern and got up.
It was already midnight at this time, the monks were silent, and the surroundings were unbelievably silent.
"It's just what I want." Yu Tianji stretched.
The two flew with their swords, passed through the dark night, and inspected the other mountain gates.
The rest of the mountain gates are no different from the two on the south side, they are all in the state of ready to fight.
After the tour was over, it was past half the night.
The two flew to a secluded cliff to discuss secret matters.
"Immortal Lord." Li Yuebai asked in a deep voice, "How many phoenixes can your jade pendant summon?"
He read the ancient books carefully, and checked the memories in the original master's mind carefully, and he understood such a thing - there is more than one jade pendant passed down from generation to generation in the Yu family, and there is more than one sealed divine bird phoenix. The Lord once summoned several phoenixes, which aroused the admiration of the monks and spread it as an anecdote.
"I'm not good at Taoism, I just know how to do some tricks. For Phoenix... I can only summon five at most." Yu Tianji replied calmly: "Could it be that Mu Meiren wants to see my Phoenix again?"
"Yes, it is indeed necessary." Li Yuebai said.
"That's good enough to kill me." Yu Tianji smiled playfully again: "Don't talk about a few phoenixes, even if you want to learn from Bao Si and watch the lords of Fenghuo Opera, I will do my best to show you."
"The fairy master has lost his word again."
The phoenix is a divine bird and the guardian spirit of the Yu family. It is too much for Yu Tianji to treat it as his own, like a piece of clothing, and to give it to others casually.
"It's definitely not a slip of the tongue. Once I say something, it's hard to follow." Yu Tianji smiled and took out the jade pendant, rubbing it twice: "Come on, how many do you want, just tell me."
"Four is enough." Li Yuebai said in a humble and calm tone.
"Host, he can summon five in total... Are you going to go for four?" The system jumped out unwillingly and interjected: "Such a request is really not worthy of your humble tone..."
"Okay, wait here, beauty." Without further ado, Yu Tianji was about to recite the summoning spell.
"Not now." Li Yuebai stopped and said, "It's on tomorrow's battlefield."
"Could it be." Yu Tianji's expression also became serious.
There are eight mountain gates, and one phoenix can be used to command two adjacent mountain gates.
Mu Qingning wanted four phoenixes, which could only mean...
"That's right, I want to use four phoenixes to command the tens of thousands of monks in Kunlun." Li Yuebai paused every word: "Guard the eight mountain gates."
In the last initial battle, everyone saw how good the phoenix is as a command tool—clear and eye-catching, flexible and easy to maneuver, and can also boost morale.
As a spirit bird, the phoenix's body is light and ethereal, almost like it is made of condensed gas. It has no attack power, but correspondingly, it will not withstand the enemy's attack—the enemy's attack on it is like passing through clouds and mist, and it will not attack it. hurt it.
"It's impossible." Yu Tianji suppressed her smile, and her voice calmed down: "In the first battle last time, we watched the battle from the sky with flying swords, and then commanded the Phoenix based on the battle situation we saw. Now... How can you see the fighting situation in four directions and eight mountain gates at the same time?"
The mountain gates in the four directions are far apart, and it is impossible to have a panoramic view.
"Psychic communication is enough." Li Yuebai spat out four words.
"Psychic?"
"Cultivators and divine birds can communicate with spirits through spells." Li Yuebai said: "After channeling, I can observe the battle situation through the eyes of the phoenix, and then directly manipulate the phoenix without the hand of the fairy master. "
"Nonsense!" Yu Tianji got angry for the first time: "Is Mu Xianshi suffering from insanity? Simultaneously communicating with four phoenixes, do you want to die?"
A monk can communicate with a divine bird, but generally, he only communicates with a divine bird for a short period of time.
Every time a divine bird is added, the monk's physical loss will increase by one point.
A great battle must last for a long time... Keeping in psychic communication with the four divine birds for such a long time... It is very likely to vomit blood and die directly.
"I know it's dangerous, but I have to try." Li Yuebai said, "This is the best way to win."
"No." Yu Tianji became tough.
"Do you want to die?" Li Yuebai smiled: "It's just a dead end, there is no choice."
Yu Tianji's expression was very good-looking, she was usually flirtatious, but now she looked like a pissed off daughter-in-law, her peach blossom eyes stared at Li Yuebai bitterly, she didn't stare for long, and she was still defeated.
"It's past halfway through the night, and it will be dawn in a while." Li Yuebai sat down on the cold rock: "It's not too late, why not start now."
Yu Tianji wanted to say something, but couldn't speak.
He wanted to persuade Mu Qingning not to hurt his body like this, but in the face of the Devil's Cult's attack, every Kunlun monk was ready to be smashed to pieces, so how could he persuade him.
Gritting his teeth, he took out the jade pendant and pressed it to his heart, closed his eyes, and recited the mantra to stimulate his mind.
Following a few loud noises, four golden phoenixes bloomed in the darkness like huge fireworks.
Li Yuebai closed his eyes so as not to be burned by the dazzling light.
The psychic feeling was as if the head was pierced and something was forced into it, causing severe pain and dizziness.
Li Yuebai's eyes were still closed, but Fenghuang's eyes were opened.
You can have a panoramic view of Kunlun Fairy Mountain in the dark.
This severe pain happened four times in total, each time becoming more and more unbearable.
The most unbearable thing was after psychic communication with four phoenixes at the same time.
It was as if four screens appeared in my mind at the same time, making my eyes dazzled.
But still hold on.
Amidst several whistling sounds, the four phoenixes waved their wings and flew towards the four directions of Kunlun Fairy Mountain.
