Yan Jue recalled everything that had happened since he went up the mountain.
While he was using his spiritual energy to clear the way and search, he could not sense any other monster's aura except the ape's. Later, when he was meditating to recover his spiritual energy, that is, when he stopped using spiritual energy, the first accidental fire occurred.
The second time, they were carrying the ape up to take it away. The third time, they were also carrying the ape away, but with a team of ordinary people instead. Within just ten minutes, the fire broke out again. Furthermore, the entire journey was smooth.
It looked as if the monster hiding in the shadows had been watching them and knew how to avoid them.
Could it be that the unknown monster is very intelligent?
Yan Jue didn't dare delay. He called Pan Wencheng and told him about the incident three times, along with his own speculation. Regardless of whether it was a demon or not, the matter had to be reported to the General Administration. Pan Wencheng's astonishment was undeniable. While he lamented Yan Jue's luck, he was also more concerned for his safety. He repeatedly urged him to take care of himself before reluctantly hanging up.
He wanted to send someone, but whether it was the currently weak monks or the incredibly strong soldiers, they couldn't match Yan Jue's own strength and his cheats. He believed Yan Jue was a cautious man who wouldn't act rashly, so he simply emphasized the other party's safety and didn't intervene further.
He just said that if it couldn't be resolved today, to let him know so that he could ask those who were going to see the spirit stone mine and the helicopter accident to go up the mountain later.
"There are still monsters?" The three people who heard Yan Jue's phone call widened their eyes.
The pilot felt a glimmer of hope: "So it was a monster that broke the helicopter, a supernatural event, not us?"
"It's just a guess."
Yan Jue didn't dare to make a promise, but he mentally registered this speculation with a 99% probability. How else could he explain the three strange fires? Even if there were spirit stone mines in the mountains, aside from the higher concentration of spiritual energy, there wouldn't be much else to worry about. Spiritual energy is harmless to ordinary people or things, and the same goes for the spirit stone mines that crystallize it.
Previously, he hadn't been able to sense anything using normal methods. It was only when he was meditating that he accidentally absorbed some and realized something was wrong. This incident just proved that the spirit stone mine was not openly exposed, waving a handkerchief to everyone and saying "I'm here", but was disguised.
If the strange fire is related to the spirit stone mine, then this mountain and the surrounding land will not be at peace. Why wait until now for them to arrive before taking action?
So, there is a high probability that there is a demon at work.
Once you have an idea, you need a way to confirm it. This time, Yan Jue won't use his spiritual power to investigate it himself. A single ape had already fooled him several times, and he didn't want to be fooled by a monster that he suspected might be more intelligent.
So he opened the game store and tried to find a cheap and affordable treasure that could find monsters.
The soldiers and the driver next to him didn't know why Consultant Yan was so lost in thought that he took out his cell phone and started playing. However, none of them asked him anything and just stood quietly around him.
Ah, I got it. Yan Jue's eyes lit up, and he looked at the thirty thousand marked under the item in front of him and fell into hesitation.
It was a bowl-shaped Buddhist bowl, made by a Buddhist cultivator. It could automatically lock onto monsters within a certain range based on demonic energy and cover them in the bowl.
Not to mention the corresponding monster's cultivation level, which was beyond their reach in this world, Yan Jue was hesitant about the price. Thirty thousand was too expensive.
There were actually some cheap ones, but those, like the talisman paper he'd used before, needed something related to the monster to help locate it, otherwise it was useless. After looking around, only this Buddha bowl could be used, and it was the cheapest of the available options.
When Yan Jue saw the level of monsters that the Buddha bowl could trap, he was a little puzzled why the powerful things here were cheaper than others. After carefully reading the item description, he understood that this thing could not specify the target at all. It was completely random as to which monsters within a certain range it would capture.
It would be fine if there was only one monster in the field, but it would be a joke if there were too many monsters. In actual combat, who would be willing to use this magic weapon to gamble on luck? If you really want to use it, you might as well pray to the heaven. It all depends on luck anyway. It is better to pray to your father than to a magic weapon.
He said that the latter is much more reliable than the former.
But thirty thousand... plus twenty thousand he could unlock the biographies of the cubs. Thirty thousand was a luxury price for him.
No matter how extravagant it is, he has to buy it. What else can he do if he doesn't buy it? Fortunately, this magic weapon can be used for a long time like the Demon Locking Net. It is not a one-time use. He won't lose out.
After sending a message to 91 asking it to transfer the Buddha bowl to his coat later, Yan Jue clicked to buy it. After waiting for a few seconds, he felt a sinking sensation in his arms: the item had arrived.
The Buddha bowl is black and only the size of a palm. It feels like it is made of some kind of wood, but it is heavier than iron. It seems that this must be a material unique to the Tianchen Continent.
"bowl?"
Yan Jue took out the Buddha bowl and received the above brief evaluation. He was silent for a moment, then corrected himself: "This is the Buddha bowl, the one Fahai used to capture Bai Suzhen. Even if it can be used as a bowl, please call it the Buddha bowl." Otherwise, it would be unworthy of the 30,000 yuan price.
After hearing about the function of the Buddha bowl, the three of them swallowed back the complaints that were about to come out of their mouths, and looked at the small black bowl with reverence, eagerly waiting for their advisor Yan to show it to them.
In the military, the revival of spiritual energy and the cultivation of immortals are no longer secrets.
There was one of them who had spiritual roots, but his spiritual roots were too mixed and he still hadn't been able to draw in qi. Later, he simply stopped thinking about cultivating immortality and began to concentrate on physical fitness, working hard to improve himself. He hoped to seize the opportunity after the higher-ups arranged the process of physical training in a unified way and strive to be selected in the first batch.
But not being able to cultivate immortality doesn't mean they aren't curious about it. Now that they have the chance to see someone using a magic weapon with their own eyes, of course they can't wait.
So in the eyes of the three people, they saw Yan Jue stand up and hold the Buddha bowl to his chest. With a glance, the Buddha bowl took off and disappeared in a "whoosh". Then their consultant Yan also floated several meters and disappeared into the mountains and forests in a breath, leaving them with only a blurry back.
Three people: "..."
Thanks, it was a very disappointing viewing experience.
Yan Jue was a little nervous. He was not afraid that he would guess wrong. He was afraid that he would alert the monster and give the monster that was not within the range of the Buddha's bowl time to escape.
So he followed the Buddha's bowl all the way down the mountain, and when he felt that the bowl had stopped moving halfway, he quickened his pace with his heart in his hands, and finally stopped under a tree.
Another tree?
The Buddha bowl was placed upside down and safely on a branch that was only as thick as an index finger. It was about five or six meters below. Yan Jue used his spiritual energy to lift himself up and carefully walked to the branch. He was not afraid of heights and did not dare to stand on it. He took the Buddha bowl and quickly went down.
When he reached the ground, he looked into the Buddha's bowl and found a strange-looking bird inside.
The shape of the bird looks very much like a red-crowned crane, but its body is green with regular red markings, and its long and pointed beak is pure white. The key point is its only foot.
"Human, let me go!"
"Fuck!"
Yan Jue was still observing the monster inside the Buddha bowl when a sharp voice suddenly exploded in his ears, and he almost threw what he was holding. He stared blankly at the bowl, looking at the thumb-sized monster trapped inside. He stuttered, "You, you spoke?"
Holy shit, this is the first talking bird in their world, bah, a monster!
"Nonsense! Are there any other humans here besides you?" The monster was furious. He flew up to the edge of the bowl and circled around. Seeing that he still couldn't break through the limit, he simply gave up and stood at the bottom of the bowl and taunted: "Hmph, if you know what's good for you, then you'd let me go sooner. Otherwise, hmph, you will suffer the consequences."
Yan Jue hesitated to speak: "Excuse me, who are you?"
The monster was stunned and cursed: "Idiot, you don't even recognize me, and you actually have spiritual energy in your body and can practice, you, you..."
The monster seemed to be furious and turned around without looking up.
Yan Jue was filled with questions. He didn't understand why the monster had such a bad temper. Where did it get the confidence to question him, the victor, as a captive? Most importantly, why did it, a monster, care whether a human like him could cultivate?
"Don't think I can let you go. It's impossible." He reacted: "Hurry up and tell me what kind of species you are, what's your name, and do you have a name? If you tell me the truth, I can consider letting you go. Otherwise... hehe."
He can hum too.
"What did you say?" The monster hummed, the voice was so soft that Yan Jue couldn't hear it clearly.
"Bifang, my name is Bifang!"
It turned out to be the famous Bifang. Yan Jue couldn't control his expression this time: "You are actually Bifang."
Bifang was pleased: "Since you know my name, why don't you let me go?"
Fart!
Yan Jue cursed inwardly. No wonder strange fires were happening. They were all Bifang's inherent properties. The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that wherever Bifang went, strange fires would break out. He wondered what constituted a "strange fire," something unextinguishable and untouchable. So that's what it was.
When something that would normally require certain conditions to catch fire ignites upon contact with no external factors, it is called a strange fire.
Yan Jue didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He was happy that Bi Fang's inherent attribute was not destructive but had prerequisites. He was worried that the prerequisites were too easy to meet and if he wasn't careful, it would catch fire, which was also a different kind of destructive behavior.
I don’t know what Bifang’s current strength is or how wide its range of influence is.
"Hey, human!"
Seeing that the man ignored him, Bifang got angry and asked, "Are you going to let me go or not?"
"What do you think?" Yan Jue glanced at him, took off his coat and covered the Buddha bowl with it, then used his spiritual energy to make a gesture to silence the sound in the bowl according to the instructions, and returned to the top of the mountain.
"Advisor Yan?" The three people waiting on the top of the mountain saw Yan Jue return with something wrapped in his coat in his hands. They were surprised and asked, "Caught him? So quickly."
It's been less than five minutes.
Yan Jue nodded: "We caught him. We can basically conclude that the helicopter accident was caused by a monster. Put..."
After saying that, he frowned and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
"It's okay, I'll stay over there for a while."
He had originally wanted Pan Wencheng to send someone to pick him up, but when he thought of Bifang's strange properties, he didn't dare move. Carrying Bifang with him was like carrying a mobile fire starter. What tools could he use to control it? He couldn't just let him transport it on his own two legs.
Considering the distance between Guizhou Province and Beijing City, Yan·Not much spiritual energy·Jue: Thank you for the invitation, but I decline.
