Chapter 157 Human Face Owl
Dragon Tooth Flying Boat.
In the compartment.
Qu Ke and Shen Zening still hadn’t recovered from the shock just now, their expressions were in a daze, they didn’t know what they were thinking, and they glanced at Lin Shen strangely from time to time.
Lin Shen didn't realize it, and looked around the exquisite and elegant layout in the cabin with great interest.
After guessing that Qu Ke and Shen Zening had come to their senses, he came to sit opposite the two, and smiled across the coffee table:
"Two senior brothers, I came here in a hurry this time. I still don't know much about the Xuandu Conference. Can the two senior brothers explain the specific situation to me?"
"Why not."
Cook came back to his senses and smiled immediately.
After seeing Lin Shen's strength, he became more and more optimistic about the future of this junior brother Lin, and he was even more interested in making friends in his heart. If he had this opportunity to get closer, he would naturally not refuse it.
After deliberating, Qu Ke spoke slowly.
"The Xuandu Conference has been held in the Xuandu Mountain fifty miles to the west of Muzu City. It is said that this strange mountain is rich in aura and is very suitable for the growth of wood, heaven, material and earth treasures. There are even many plant spirits living there. The liquid comes from one of the grass and tree fairies named Xuanhua Wood Spirit!"
Xuanhua Wood Spirit!
Lin Shen's expression moved slightly.
Strictly speaking, the vegetation elves are also a kind of monster race.
It's just that compared to ordinary monster races, it is more difficult for grass and tree elves to enlighten spiritual wisdom or survive human calamity.
It often takes hundreds of thousands of years for a spiritual grass and spiritual tree to awaken a spiritual wisdom.
After awakening the spiritual wisdom, it often takes hundreds of thousands of years of practice before it is possible to survive the human calamity and step into the immortal way.
This is still spiritual grass and spiritual wood. It is a thousand times more difficult for ordinary grass and trees to awaken their wisdom and survive human calamity!
The only advantage that plant elves have over ordinary monster races is that they have a longer lifespan.
Of course, this doesn't mean they have enough time to practice.
Grass and trees that have become refined are great tonics for practitioners—whether human or demon cultivators!
So many grass and tree elves are often caught by practitioners to make alchemy and medicine before they have time to grow up.
Those who were lucky enough not to be caught spend most of their time evading and fleeing. If they are not careful, their cultivation career will end.
It can be said that among the many monster races, the grass elves are one of the most miserable races!
"The Xuandu Conference is held every three years, and each time lasts for one month. Only practitioners who hold the Xuandu Token can enter."
"Once the conference starts, the mountain guard formation will be closed. People on Xuandu Mountain, even monks, cannot leave. During this period, all the participants get on the mountain will belong to themselves. The Xuanling Sect will not put one's oar in."
After that, Qu Ke talked about some knowledge about the Xuandu Conference.
Mostly I got the news from the brothers and sisters who participated in the Xuandu Conference in previous years.
Although not all of them were useful, Lin Shen still listened with great interest.
After chatting for a long time, the three of them returned to their own rooms when night fell.
The journey was boring. In the following time, the three of them took a few hours a day to chat and chat, and the rest of the time they stayed in their rooms to practice.
Lin Shen's cultivation has stagnated, and his martial arts have reached the highest level. Only the five qi Zhenyuan, standing shadow and water mirror techniques have not reached perfection.
The spirit casting pill in his hand has been used up again, unable to condense the spirit veins.
So he simply practiced the remaining three techniques with all his strength with his avatar.
According to his estimation, before arriving at Muzu City, the three techniques should be almost complete.
Afterwards, you have to wait for Xuanhuaye to start, and you can continue to practice after you break through the realm.
Lin Shen did not expect that one day he would encounter a situation where he would not be able to practice.
You must know that in the past, he felt that there were too few avatars, not enough for cultivation!
Five days passed in a blink of an eye.
The Dragon Tooth Flying Boat is already very close to the depths of the Longyuan Mountains.
According to the original plan, Dragon Tooth Flying Boat did not enter this dangerous area, but took a long detour along the side.
I met many flying monsters along the way, but they were guarded by the dragon tooth flying boat. These monsters had no choice but to use the dragon tooth flying boat. After chasing for a while, they left angrily.
Lin Shen and the others didn't care.
In this way, two days passed quietly.
But on the day when the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat was about to walk out of the depths of the Longyuan Mountains, Lin Shen, who was resting in the room, suddenly felt the floor shake violently, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
With the stability of the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat, this situation will not happen even when it is attacked by the monster race.
Unless it is attacked by an attack approaching the limit of the guardian restriction!
Lin Shen fixed his gaze, and immediately got up and walked out of the cabin.
Came to the deck, Qu Ke and Shen Zening had arrived, frowning and looking outside.
Following the line of sight of the two, Lin Shen was slightly taken aback.
I saw a group of monsters with strange shapes surrounded Longya Flying Boat at some point.
These monster races are shaped like owls, with a pheasant body and a dog tail, but they have a human face.
It has two wings on its back, and its upper body has a pair of upper limbs with sharp claws.
"This is a human-faced owl!"
Lin Shen immediately recognized the origins of these monster races.
Human-faced owl is a kind of monster of Tongxuan Realm. It has the power to control the wind. It haunts the depths of Longyuan Mountains on weekdays, and rarely leaves to the outer areas.
"Why did the human-faced owl appear here?" Lin Shen muttered to himself suspiciously.
"It's the Eagle Department!" Qu Ke said suddenly, "Only the members of the Eagle Department can drive the human-faced owl out of the activity area and come to the outskirts of the mountains!"
Eagle Ministry?
Lin Shen frowned.
Among the five demon tribes in the Longyuan Mountains, apart from the Fox tribe, which is extremely low-key, the Eagle tribe is the most elusive.
Because most of the eagles are monsters with the ability to control the sky.
Even the weakest spirit-enlightening demon clan can come and go freely in the mountains by virtue of their ability to control the sky, and it is extremely difficult for practitioners to find and kill them.
While the Tigers, Pythons, and Bears were wiped out by the three major sects of Linlong City, and the Foxes were frightened by the experience of the Haoshan Fox Clan, and their behavior became more and more low-key, the Eagles seemed to be the only kings of the Longyuan Mountains.
I don’t know if it’s because of this that the Eagle Department lost its previous cautiousness in acting, and it was so rampant that it dared to leave the depths of the mountains and attack the dragon tooth flying boat with the Nine Yang Sect logo!
Looking around, there were at least one or two hundred human-faced owls besieging the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat.
Although most of them are only at the early stage of the Tongxuan Realm, relying on their numbers and joining hands, they are already enough to shake the guardian restriction of the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat.
At this moment, these human-faced owls kept flapping their fleshy wings, setting off gray winds and hitting the dragon-tooth flying boat one after another.
Looking from the outside, the entire spaceship has been surrounded by dense gray winds and is impenetrable!
"Those with hair and horns dare to attack us, they don't know how to live or die!"
Qu Ke snorted coldly, took a white feather from his sleeve, and blew his true air upward.
The white feathers were nourished by true qi, as if they were born with spirituality. With a sudden tremor, they broke free from his hands, and suddenly turned into a white rainbow and flew away.
The human-faced owls surrounding the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat attacked for a long time, but there was no counterattack. When they were relaxed, they became more and more arrogant, and let out ear-piercing screams of excitement.
And at this moment, a white rainbow shot out from the spaceship suddenly, and circled the spaceship like a comet trailing in the air.
In an instant, with the flying boat as the center, a ring-shaped blood flower suddenly bloomed around it, and twenty or thirty human-faced owls froze suddenly, and then fell from the air one after another like dumplings falling into the water!
The sudden change startled the surrounding human-faced owls, screaming and retreating, and the offensive was immediately stagnant.
But they stopped, but Bai Hong's attack did not stop. He turned around again in a whirl, and continued to kill the demon group, constantly piercing through the vital points of the human-faced owls!
In an instant, blood flowers bloomed one after another in the air, and the human-faced owls fell one after another.
On the deck, Shen Zening watched this scene, his eyes lit up.
"Senior Brother Qu's Bai Hongyu is really powerful, but Senior Brother Qu can't have all the limelight, so I'll join in!"
At the same time as he finished speaking, Shen Zening threw out a little green light, and shot it out of the flying boat like a sharp arrow, piercing through the eyebrows of a human-faced owl in an instant.
The human-faced owl didn't even have time to make a pitiful scream, and died instantly. Qingmang rushed to the next human-faced owl without stopping, and his speed was not inferior to Bai Hongyu's.
When dealing with Yan Jingren before, Lin Shen had seen Shen Zening use this magic weapon of Qingmang to easily block Yan Jingren's Pingling Monument.
It's just that my cultivation was limited at the time, so I couldn't see clearly what kind of magic weapon it was.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the green light was actually a jade medal!
The jade tablet seemed to have the effect of destroying the true essence. The gray wind controlled by the human-faced owl could not stop the jade tablet at all.
The Yaozu in the early stage of Tongxuan Realm are no different from miscellaneous soldiers under the two men.
In the blink of an eye, the two owls emptied a large area around the flying boat, and the remaining human-faced owls finally got scared, and fled away screaming in horror.
Qu Ke and Shen Zening controlled the magic weapon to chase and kill for a while, and killed dozens of human-faced owls before they stopped.
Lin Shen watched the whole process from the sidelines, showing no intention of making a move.
Before the change, he would still think about killing the human-faced owl to brush the talent effect of killing the Dao.
But right now, whether it is cultivation, martial arts, or spells, they have all been cultivated to the limit, even if the talent effect is triggered, it cannot be improved.
He has experimented with this before.
Looking at the owl retreating in panic, Lin Shen suddenly felt a gaze, turned his head subconsciously, and saw a black shadow flashing on the distant mountain wall, as if something had flashed into the crack of the rock wall.
Lin Shen's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked back after watching for a while.
After driving away the human-faced owl, Dragon Tooth Flying Boat continued on its way.
When the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat was far away and turned into a black spot at the end of the sky, a human-faced owl slowly came out from the mountain wall where the shadow had flashed before.
"That airship has gone far, come out."
The human-faced owl who spoke was much slender than its peers, and its upper limbs had almost turned into human arms, but covered with a thin layer of silver feathers.
The voice fell, and several human-faced owls came out of the gap.
Without exception, they are closer to humans than the same race that besieged the flying boat just now, but the degree is not as deep as the first silver-feathered human-faced owl.
"I have already said that a human cultivator who can take that kind of flying boat must not be weak, but you just don't listen to me. It's all right now. We've lost so many of our own race. Let's see how you explain to Lord Miao You!"
Hearing the word Miao You, the silver-feathered human-faced owl's expression was obviously stagnant, but he still said firmly:
"That's because you refused to make a move, and you didn't allow me to do it, otherwise the two human cultivators would have been dealt with long ago!"
"Come on, those two didn't even get out of the flying boat, they obviously haven't tried their best, and the flying boat has a third person, we really want to fight with you, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out!"
"You are spoiling your own prestige by taking advantage of others' aspirations!"
"I won't argue with you, wait for Master Miao You to come back, and then let her judge!"
The silver-feathered human-faced owl twitched his cheeks, snorted heavily, and said, "Master Miao You was injured because of a human cultivator. I am avenging Master Miao You!"
"The human cultivator who hurt Master Miao You is not from the Nine Suns Sect!"
"They are all human cultivators, what's the difference?"
"you!"
The other human-faced owls almost fainted from anger.
Has this guy's intelligence been used in cultivation?
Don’t even think about it with your brain!
Can Jiuyangzong and Sanxiu be the same?
Although their Eagle Division has become more and more powerful recently and has become the overlord of the Longyuan Mountain Range, it is only limited to the Longyuan Mountain Range.
If you really want to face Jiuyangzong, you will never end up better than the three of the tiger, bear and python.
Maybe you will follow in the footsteps of these three films!
Several human-faced owls have begun to regret bringing this brainless guy out.
In a hurry, they didn't have the heart to talk to this guy anymore, they were going to sue this guy after Miao You came back from Muzu City.
The human-faced owl attack was just a small episode, and Lin Shen and the others quickly put it behind them and continued on their way.
The rest of the journey was uneventful, and there was no large-scale monster attack.
The Dragon Tooth Flying Boat left the Longyuan Mountains safely that night.
Flying for another day and a half, the outline of a giant city finally appeared in the distance.
"We have arrived, that is Muzu City!"
Lin Shen looked out, under the blue and white sky, the towering and majestic city walls stood straight, stretching to both sides, with no end in sight in the far distance.
It is only the front, and the length is not less than ten miles by visual inspection.
It can be vaguely seen that there are dense vines wrapped around the city wall, almost covering the outside of the city wall with a layer of vine armor.
Lin Shen didn't need to look carefully to know that it was probably some kind of spiritual wood.
If there is no accident, it should be part of the defense formation of Muzu City.
Out of politeness, the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat stopped about two or three miles away from Muzu City. Lin Shen and the others then set up the Wind Control Technique and flew towards Muzu City at a leisurely pace.
Before he had traveled far, two disciples rode flying cranes to greet him.
"Excuse me, are you a fellow Taoist who came to participate in the Xuandu Conference?"
"Exactly."
Lin Shen and the others handed out the Xuandu Order.
After checking the token, a disciple immediately said: "Our sect has set up a residence at the foot of Mount Xuandu, three fellow Taoists, please follow me!"
The three of them were not surprised, and immediately followed.
There are not a few practitioners participating in the Xuandu Conference, and there are mixed fish and dragons. For safety reasons, Muzu City will definitely not allow these practitioners to enter the city. The best way is to place them near Xuandu Mountain.
Just close to the venue of the Xuandu Conference, saving time and effort.
Not long after, under the leadership of two disciples, the three of Lin Shen came to the vicinity of Xuandu Mountain.
Looking into the eyes, the mountains in front of you are endless and majestic.
Among the mountains, one is the most prominent.
Not only towering into the clouds, but also can feel the rich aura soaring to the sky from a distance.
It is Xuandu Mountain!
Among all the mountains, Xuandu Mountain stands out from the crowd and is particularly conspicuous.
Even people who come here for the first time will not be mistaken at first glance.
At this moment, on several mountains near Xuandu Mountain, many stone houses have been built, and they are piled up along the mountain, like a pile.
Cultivators from all over the Tōkaidō gathered here. At a glance, there may not be as many as a thousand people.
Cook felt a burst of emotion when he saw it.
"There are still six days before the Xuandu Conference, and there are already thousands of people at this meeting. When the Xuandu Conference starts, there may be two or three thousand people?"
Two or three thousand practitioners, it doesn't sound like a lot.
But if you think about it carefully, almost all the people who came to the Xuandu Conference came for Xuanhuaye.
Those who need to use Xuanhua Liquid are all practitioners who have reached the ninth level of Mingqiao and have begun to forge spiritual veins.
Such a person would already be an elite cultivator with a high status in any big city.
But there are two to three thousand people here, which is amazing when you think about it.
Bring Lin Shen and the others to several vacant houses, and the two Xuanling Sect disciples then left.
The remaining three people did not chat, and each chose a room to enter, preparing to recharge their batteries and prepare for the Xuandu Conference six days later.
Although the house prepared by Xuanlingzong is not simple, it is just an ordinary residence without a protective formation.
Lin Shen looked around, took out a few town house charms from the storage ring, and pasted them on the wall, which was better than nothing.
"It seems that we have to find an opportunity to practice the formation. You don't need to be too proficient, but you can't be ignorant, lest you encounter this situation next time, and you can't even arrange the simplest protective formation."
Making a secret decision in his heart, Lin Shen sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to meditate for the next few days.
But not long after sitting down, he suddenly felt someone approaching here.
There are two people in total, judging from their breath, they are not Qu Ke and Shen Zening.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Shen had no choice but to stand up, go to the door and open the door.
There were two people standing outside the door, both in their thirties and forties, one tall and one thin.
Tall, with a full face and a thick back, with more white eyes and less black eyes, you can tell at a glance that you are not a good stubble.
The short one is full of smiles, his eyeballs are rolling around, and he is shrewd inside and out.
"What's the matter with you two?" Lin Shen looked at the two of them calmly and asked casually.
The short man cupped his hands at Lin Shen with a smile on his face, and said:
"Xia Lianxi, this is my companion Luo Deng. The two of us have long been fascinated by the Xuandu Conference. We have long wanted to participate in the conference. Unfortunately, we have no way to get the Xuandu Order, so we have not been able to do so. Now we take the liberty to come to disturb you. I don’t know if brother can give the order of Xuandu to the two of us?”
"Of course, we won't take it for nothing, we will definitely give you enough reward!"
"What do you think, brothers?"
