Ye Wenqiu, Wen Qiong and the others stood in the four corners of the lake, the southeast, northwest and northeast. The four of them stood on the auxiliary array points that Xuan Yu had set in advance. When the four of them stood still, the cyan spiritual light on the lake surface seemed to be printed under the water, and the water surface turned into a glittering mirror. The moon and stars above were reflected on the cyan water surface, and the pupils of the onlookers were lit up by the cyan spiritual light emanating from the lake.
Xuan Yu nodded to Feng Gui: "I'll take care of it from now on." Feng Gui put his hands in his pockets: "Leave it to me."
Xuan Yu walked towards the center of the lake, holding Feng Gui's long sword. As his footsteps landed on the lake, circles of tiny ripples appeared on the calm surface. From the moment he stepped on the water, a strong spiritual energy rolled up Xuan Yu's robe and long hair.
Du Heng stopped his movements in a cowardly manner, his eyes widened again. His Xiaoyu had an overwhelming aura! So handsome!
A tiny green spiritual light appeared where Xuan Yu walked. It was not noticeable at first, but when he walked to the center of the lake, a layer of clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. The clouds covered the bright moon and stars in the sky, and the lake became the only existence emitting light between heaven and earth. At this time, even the slightest change on the lake surface could not escape the spiritual sense of the cultivators, let alone the obvious jumping spiritual light?
After Xuan Yu stopped, he raised the long sword in his hand. A green aura wall appeared in the center of the lake within ten feet of Xuan Yu. The color of the aura wall was slightly darker than the lake surface under Xuan Yu's feet.
As soon as the spiritual energy wall was formed, Feng Gui stepped lightly on it. Everyone was unable to see Feng Gui's movements clearly!
Feng Gui stood still and then sat cross-legged. At this time, the spiritual energy wall slowly moved! Feng Gui actually sank down along the spiritual energy wall! Feng Gui sank to the bottom of the lake!
Du Heng was so shocked that he almost stood up, but a voice in his heart told him that he had to believe Xiaoyu. Thinking of this, Du Heng put his hands on Xiaoxiao and Xiaomao's backs, touching the furry bodies of the two children, and he tried hard to control his emotions.
After Feng Gui sank into the water, the color of the lake changed. There was a faint golden light flashing under the blue lake surface. At this time, Xuan Yu began to dance with the sword. As the long sword was pushed horizontally or vertically, a little green light appeared on the top of the spirit sword. The tip of the sword stayed at a certain place for a while, and the green light dispersed from the tip of the sword.
The places where the sword tips stopped were very random, some were ten feet high in the air, some were three feet at the bottom of the lake, and more were gathered between the ten-foot spiritual energy wall held up by Xuan Yu.
Everyone's sight was involuntarily attracted by the green light. As the number of green light increased, the light on the lake gradually dimmed. At this time, there was no sky or earth. Everyone seemed to be in the starry sky. All they could see were those large and small shining green light. The green light flickered, just like stars.
Xuan Yu's figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. Everyone could only see that there were more and more stars. It didn't matter who lit up the stars anymore.
At this time, there was no Dragon Lord, no Phoenix Lord, no big boss guarding the formation, and everyone didn't remember who they were. Their sight and consciousness were completely occupied by the shining stars. They just wanted to get closer, closer, because that group of shining nebulae had everything they wanted.
Du Heng took a step forward involuntarily, but an invisible wall suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way. It was extremely difficult for him to take another step forward.
Du Heng was not the only one experiencing this situation. Even Yang Yuanqing and Su Xian were dazzled by the stars. Of course, they were also blocked by the invisible wall.
At this time, several stars in the constellation flashed rapidly and continuously, and these stars gradually approached. Everyone only heard a sigh in their ears: "Found it." After the voice sounded, all the illusions disappeared.
Everyone suddenly came back to their senses and found that they had left the place where they were just now. Everyone was suspended in the air, and a white barrier appeared in front of them. This barrier was held up by Wen Qiong and Ye Wenqiu! It turned out that the defense was not afraid of any abnormality in the formation, but afraid that the onlookers would interfere with Xuan Yu's work!
The monks looked towards the center of the lake and saw Feng Gui rising from the lake. He flew into the air along with Xuan Yu and the green light around him. Feng Gui stood on one side of the spiritual energy wall, and Xuan Yu stood on the other side. The two of them stretched out their hands facing each other, and the spiritual energy wall with a diameter of ten feet became smaller in their hands, and the tiny green light gradually dissipated.
In the end, a palm-sized green ball appeared in Xuan Yu's hand. Three flashing spots of light appeared in the middle of the sphere. The light spots were arranged in a triangle, and there was something foggy flashing between the three spots of light.
Xuan Yu held the ball in his hand and nodded to Ye Wenqiu and the others: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and found the center of the formation."
Ye Wenqiu didn't quite understand, so he asked doubtfully, "May I ask Lord Long, where is the center of the formation?"
Feng Gui pointed at the ball in Xuan Yu's hand: "It's in Xuan Yu's hand."
Everyone was confused. When did the array center end up in Xuan Yu's hands? Xuan Yu explained, "To be more precise, the passage to the cave where the array center is located is connected to the star stone in my hand."
Yu Jing said anxiously: "What are we waiting for?! Let's go to the center of the formation now! Get out of here quickly!"
Xuan Yu raised his eyes and looked at Yu Jing: "I can understand the feelings of Sect Master Yu Jing, but the situation near the center of the formation is not optimistic." Wen Qiong frowned: "How is it not optimistic?"
Xuan Yu gently stroked the star stone, and mist-like spiritual energy suddenly jumped out from the center. The mist slowly spread in front of everyone, and at the same time, something was shaking on it.
Everyone looked closely and saw dozens of ferocious monsters appearing in the mist. Those monsters were red in color and had long and narrow bodies. They had sharp claws and fangs and were covered with hard scales. Each one looked like it was not easy to mess with!
Seeing this monster, Yang Yuanqing gasped: "Eight-clawed fire dragon..." He was scratched by this thing and almost died.
Xuan Yu said: "There is a monster near the center of the formation. It must have climbed up from the passage before Jiu Shisan and the others blocked it."
Ye Wenqiu thought for a moment and said, "I can take the disciples of Shenxu Palace to kill the monster." As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Qiong said, "Dingkun Sect can also follow."
Because the sect master and the demon cultivators teamed up to deceive the human cultivators, the disciples of Tianyi Sect also found a way to vent: "And us! We can go together!"
Yang Yuanqing frowned and said, "Don't make trouble. You have never fought against monsters. Let me go. I have experience." Yu Jing said coldly, "Have you ever been scratched by a monster and couldn't get up?"
Yang Yuanqing and Yu Jing stared at each other with their eyes wide open, and it seemed that they were about to start a fight again.
At this time, Ye Wenqiu looked at Xuan Yu: "Speaking of which, an eight-clawed fire dragon once appeared near Shenxu Palace, but it disappeared after attacking Sect Master Yang. I wonder if it is a demon god..."
Xuan Yu said: "Well, I happened to go out to buy vegetables that day, and I encountered a monster on the road that injured people, so I took the opportunity to kill it. By the way, the snake steak you eat is made from the meat of the eight-clawed fire dragon."
Hearing this, Ye Wenqiu and the others were stunned. But Wen Qiong burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, I knew they would have this expression after knowing the inside story!"
Xuan Yu said: "The eight-clawed fire dragon has a weakness at its seven inches. With so many of us cultivators cooperating properly, we can definitely deal with them. I will tell you their weaknesses tomorrow, and you can think of countermeasures based on your own situation."
Ye Wenqiu said: "Why wait until tomorrow? Can't we do it now?"
Xuan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It's late, time to go to bed." Hearing this reason, everyone's mouth twitched.
Feng Gui actually agreed with Xuan Yu's point of view: "Yes, it's late at night and you should have a good rest. How can you kill monsters without a good rest?! Go to sleep, go to sleep!"
After saying this, Feng Gui flew towards the cave happily: "Sleep, sleep~ Early to bed and early to rise will make you energetic~"
Everyone: ...So you are this kind of Feng Jun!
Xuan Yu handed the star stone in his hand to Ye Wenqiu: "Elder Ye, I'll give this to you for safekeeping first." Ye Wenqiu was surprised: "It's so valuable..."
Xuan Yu said calmly: "It's not expensive. I have a lot of them here. I'm afraid they'll get mixed up. It's better to keep it with you for safety." Ye Wenqiu said seriously: "Okay."
Du Heng, who was lying on the bed, turned over and faced Xuan Yu. His eyes were brighter than the stars. Xuan Yu could feel Du Heng's gaze on him even with his eyes closed. Xuan Yu smiled and said, "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
Du Heng poked Xuan Yu: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, what's the name of the move you used today? So cool."
Xuan Yu held Du Heng's hand and said in a deep voice: "This is just an ordinary deduction technique, nothing special." Du Heng was full of admiration: "You look so handsome when you deduce, it feels like all the stars are under your feet. Can you teach me this trick?"
Xuan Yu chuckled and said, "Okay. But are you sure you can learn it? Have you learned all the formations you wanted to learn last time?"
Du Heng was stunned. He hummed and moaned, "No..." He clearly understood every word Xiaoyu said, but when they were put together, he just couldn't write a complete formation. Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to watch it anymore!
Xuan Yu said softly: "It's okay, we have a lot of time, I will teach you slowly in the future."
The next morning, Xuan Yu and Feng Gui set out with Ye Wenqiu and the others. A light blue sphere with a diameter of ten feet appeared above the Spirit Lake. In the middle of the sphere, three points of light supported a transmission channel, and the cultivators traveled back and forth between the two small caves through this channel.
At noon, Du Heng received his first harvest, a hundred-foot-long eight-clawed fire dragon. It was dead, and even the demonic fire on its body no longer shone. A cultivator from Dingkun Sect put the eight-clawed fire dragon in a storage bag and brought it to Du Heng. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Well... I ate snake steak last time, it was very delicious. I wonder if Junior Brother Du can make some more?"
Du Heng nodded while holding the storage bag: "Okay, okay, I'll have plenty of snake chops!"
Watching the monks rushing towards the small cave happily, Du Heng looked at the storage bag with a headache. No wonder Xiaoyu didn't let him know what kind of meat he ate before. If he saw the appearance of the eight-clawed fire dragon, let alone let him cook, he would be so scared that he would faint.
But after accepting that the eight-clawed fire dragon is a delicious dish, both Du Heng and the monks who went to hunt it were full of enthusiasm. You know, killing a fire dragon means there are countless snake chops and snake meat to eat! Not to mention the attached scales and claws!
373
On the morning of the third day, cheers came from the other side of the transmission channel. The monks finally dealt with the last eight-clawed fire dragon! This meant that everyone could go and look for the center of the formation without any worries.
In the afternoon, two pieces of news came from the cave, one good and one bad. The good news was: they found the center of the formation! As long as they opened the center of the formation, they could leave the Wanzong ruins!
The bad news is that the situation around the center of the formation is quite complicated. If they are not careful, not only will they be unable to get out, but the passage to the Chaos Sea will also be opened. At that time, everyone will be left in the ruins to feed the monsters!
In addition, they arrested Wang Muye.
When Du Heng saw Wang Muye, Wang Muye was still the elegant, gentle and warm leader of Dingkun Sect. Ye Wenqiu and the others did not embarrass him, they just confiscated his weapons and took him to the cave.
It is said that when Wang Muye was found, he was right next to the center of the formation. When he saw everyone, his expression was very calm, not like a villain whose identity had been exposed.
Wang Muye was locked up in the stone chamber that was used to interrogate Hu Weiwei. The disciples of Tianyi Sect stood outside the stone chamber with their heads down. In fact, they still couldn't believe that their leader would join forces with the demon cultivators to kill the people from other major sects! However, faced with irrefutable evidence, they didn't even have the courage to refute.
Wang Muye didn't say a word after being caught, and even when Ji Qingyan asked him, he just smiled. He had an attitude of not caring about what others thought, which made it difficult for Xuan Yu and the others to deal with him.
When interrogating Hu Weiwei and Jiu Shisan before, Xuan Yu and his team could come forward. That was because those two were demon cultivators, and Xuan Yu and his team were demon gods. But Wang Muye was not a demon cultivator, and his status was no lower than Ji Qingyan and Wen Qiong, so it was not easy for everyone to torture him. Besides, there were also disciples of Tianyi Sect who survived, and they would not feel good to interrogate their leader in front of them.
At dinner, Ji Qingyan asked Du Heng for an extra portion of rice. Du Heng saw him carrying the rice to the stone chamber where Wang Muye was imprisoned. Just when Du Heng thought the two were going to say a few words, Ji Qingyan came out quickly.
Ji Qingyan left the plate in the stone chamber, and Du Heng would go to clean up the plates later. When he arrived at the stone chamber, he saw Wang Muye meditating with his back to him, and he didn't eat a single bite of the food on the plate.
The matter of the array eye gave Xuan Yu and his team a headache. It had been several days since they discovered the array eye, but Xuan Yu still hadn't found a foolproof way to open the array eye. Du Heng followed Wen Qiong and his team to take a look near the array eye. After just one look, his hair stood on end.
The center of the formation is located in the crater of the mountain. In the rolling magma, a dark red formation is flashing. Generally, the lines of the formation are engraved on hard objects, so that the formation can be activated faster and more accurately, but the formation inside the demon-killing formation is engraved on the magma. As the magma surges, the lines of the formation are wriggling and surging.
Du Heng had never seen such a formation before. It was like a spider web floating in the wind. It was precisely because of its erratic nature that Xuan Yu had been unable to come up with a solution to crack it.
Xuan Yu was hanging on the magma, his face serious: "The magma may lead to the Chaos Sea or the Great Void Realm. If we are not careful, we will be doomed. I really can't determine the solution. I think only those who block the eye of the formation can solve this formation."
Isn't that blind?! Who blocked the eye of the formation? It's obvious that it was Jiu Shisan, Hu Jiwei and his group, but Jiu Shisan died and Hu Jiwei became a hot pot. Only Wang Muye, a human, was left. Wang Muye looked like a small fish. Moreover, Wang Muye's mouth was closed tighter than a river clam. If you want to pry his mouth open, you may have to wait for Nan Nan to wake up and use soul-searching technique.
Nan Nan had been sleeping for four or five days and hadn't woken up yet. Xixi said he might have to sleep for a while longer.
If you can’t find the center of the formation, you will be anxious. If you find the center of the formation, you will be even more anxious.
The heavens felt the low pressure, and the next day after they found the center of the formation, it began to rain. The monks huddled in their camp with gloomy faces.
Du Heng looked at the continuous rain outside the window and sighed. Xuan Yu asked slowly, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Du Heng turned his head and met Xuan Yu's eyes. He said depressedly: "Seeing you guys busy, I couldn't help you at all. Now seeing you guys are anxious, I don't know what to do."
Xuan Yu hugged Du Heng's waist and kissed his cheek: "Having you here is better than anything else. It's raining today, how about we make something delicious to boost morale?"
Du Heng nodded and looked at Xuan Yu: "Xiao Yu, what do you want to eat?" The most common thing in his storage bag was the meat of the Eight-clawed Fire Chi. How about stewing it in a pot?
Just as Du Heng was thinking about what to eat, a burst of crying and cursing came from the cave. Du Heng looked over and saw a disciple of Tianyi Sect crying and cursing at the door of the stone chamber opposite: "Master, please say something! Even if you say one word in defense, as long as you say that you are wronged, I will stand by your side even if I risk my life. What do you mean by keeping silent?! The brothers followed you to the ruins and entrusted their lives to you, and now you don't explain anything or say anything, what on earth do you want to do?!"
Du Heng looked at the cultivator's face. He remembered that this was a cultivator from the Tianyi Sect who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. He stood behind Wang Muye when they entered the ruins. How much he trusted Wang Muye in the past, how disappointed he was at this moment.
However, no matter how he cried and cursed, not a single word came out of the stone chamber.
Wang Muye seemed to be mute. Even when facing his former best friend, he said nothing.
Du Heng sighed: "I feel so sorry for the disciples of Tianyi Sect." The good sect leader suddenly became a traitor to the world of cultivation, and even they couldn't raise their heads.
Wen Qiong's voice came from behind: "Hey... who said it wasn't... if he was an ordinary disciple of Tianyi Sect, it would be fine, but he has to be the Sect Leader..."
Du Heng turned around and asked, "Hey, Master? When did you get here?" Wen Qiong calmly crossed her arms and said, "I came in when you and Long Jun were kissing each other passionately."
Du Heng blushed: "How can I be so obsessed..."
Wen Qiong sighed, "How about making something delicious? How about making something hot that can make people happy?"
Du Heng's mouth twitched: "Master, your request is really difficult." Wen Qiong took out a chicken claw from his sleeve and chewed it: "Master trusts you."
Du Heng roared wildly in his heart: No! I don't want such trust!
Just when Du Heng was at a loss, Wen Qiong reached out and called out to Yu Jing and the others outside the stone chamber: "Sect Master Yu Jing! Sect Master Su Xian! Come in and have a seat!"
Su Xian and the others actually came in. As soon as they entered the door, Yu Jing started by eating a handful of wontons: "Now in the entire cave, this is the only place that is the most relaxing." The wontons exhaled naively, and their big tails shook in the wind.
Su Xian touched the glutinous rice cake and said, "Yeah, listening to them quarreling, my heart is not at peace."
The three sect leaders sat down around the wooden table, and Du Heng took out some melon seeds and snacks to entertain them. Yu Jing and Su Xian were not polite, and soon the three female cultivators started a tea party. The person they were discussing at the tea party was none other than Sect Leader Wang Muye from the stone chamber next door.
Yu Jing sighed and said, "I was shocked when Sect Master Wang succeeded Tianyi Sect's Sect Master. It is said that the old Sect Master originally favored his senior brother, but that senior brother unfortunately passed away, so the old Sect Master chose Sect Master Wang as the Sect Master."
Su Xian said: "I used to think that Sect Master Wang was just lucky, but now it seems that there is a lot of luck and a lot of calculation involved. I don't know."
Wen Qiong said: "To be honest, I get along well with the other sect leaders, but I don't have much contact with Sect Leader Wang. I always feel that he is very busy."
Yu Jing said, "As for getting along well, Sect Master Wang and Sect Leader Ji get along pretty well, but who would have thought that he would snatch Sect Leader Ji's opportunity? Although Sect Leader Ji doesn't need the Chaos Bead, I don't want a friend who stabs a friend in the back."
The three female students were talking, and suddenly they all stopped talking. Du Heng turned his head subconsciously and saw a ray of light flying in the rain. He looked closely and saw that it was Ji Qingyan.
Seeing Ji Qingyan, Du Heng thought of Jinghong. He didn't know where Jinghong was now. Wang Muye had been arrested, so where was she hiding to heal her wounds?
Thinking of Jinghong and Ji Qingyan, Du Heng suddenly knew what he wanted to do. He wanted to make shrimp wontons!
Ji Qingyan's hometown is close to the sea, and people living by the sea eat wontons more often. Wontons are a bit similar to wontons, but they are quite different in detail. Although both are wrapped with skin, the skin of wontons is thinner, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is as thin as a cicada's wing.
As soon as he said it, Du Heng used his Sky Fox Scale again. Xuan Yu held out a large wooden basin: "What do you want to make?" Du Heng said: "Wonton. Xiaoyu, help me get two basins of shrimps, and help me cut two basins of meat."
Xuan Yu responded and went to open the refrigerator. Seeing Xuan Yu's busy back, Yu Jing sighed, "I never expected that Long Jun is actually a great man who can handle both housework and cooking. What a pity, all good men have Taoist partners."
Du Heng raised his head proudly. Yes, such a good man is his Taoist partner!
Du Heng scooped five spoonfuls of flour into the basin, beat ten eggs into the flour, and added a small amount of salt and water. Just as he was stirring the dough into dough, Xuan Yu took out the shrimp and meat from the refrigerator.
Xuan Yu asked, "Do you want to roll the noodles?"
Du Heng happily handed the dough to Xuan Yu: "Yes, first knead it into a smooth dough, and then roll it into a skin as thin as a cicada's wing. We have prepared a lot of dough, so we need to roll it out several times."
Xuan Yu said slowly: "It doesn't matter, we are not in a hurry anyway."
374
Watching Long Jun and Du Heng doing things was a pleasure. On the left, I watched Xuan Yu knead the scattered dough into a smooth dough, and on the right, I watched Du Heng neatly peel off the shrimp shells, leaving behind the slightly transparent bluish-white shrimp meat. These two people obviously didn't talk much, but they had such a tacit understanding.
Every time his eyes met theirs, it felt like there was no room for anything to come between them.
Su Xian sighed, "I originally thought that most of the Taoist couples in this world were just for show, but I didn't expect the relationship between the Dragon King and the Saint to be so good. I'm really envious."
Xuan Yu followed Du Heng and learned how to make wonton wrappers. After hearing Du Heng say that wonton wrappers are very thin square wonton wrappers, Xuan Yu roughly understood how to make them. After he rolled out the dough, he pulled out the rolling pin in the middle. Then he used the rolling pin to press the dough evenly and lines appeared on the dough. The thickness of the dough was much thinner than at the beginning!
Du Heng leaned over and said, "Xiaoyu, you are amazing. You figured it out before I even told you how to do it."
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "You'll know it if you do it more often. Is that right?" Du Heng gave a thumbs up, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Next, Xuan Yu unrolled the dough and rolled it up with a rolling pin. The rolled dough was a bit sticky, so Xuan Yu sprinkled a layer of starch evenly on it. He repeated the process of rolling the dough, pulling the rolling pin, and pressing it. In the end, the dough was so thin that it was almost transparent!
At this time, Xuan Yu folded the leather like a fan to the width of the leather usually used for making wontons: "Is this okay?"
Du Heng nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"
Xuan Yu raised his knife and cut off the uneven parts at both ends of the skin, and then cut the middle part into long strips of the same width. After unfolding the rectangular dough, stacking them together and cutting them again, Xuan Yu had a stack of wonton skins of uniform thickness in his hands.
How thin is the wonton skin at this time? Du Heng picked up a piece and put it on the chopping board. The wood grain on the chopping board can be clearly seen through the skin. Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng expectantly: "Is this feasible?"
Du Heng praised: "How could there be someone as capable as our Xiaoyu in the world?! That's amazing!"
Xuan Yu smiled and placed the cut wonton skins in the wooden basin and covered them with gauze. He still needed to continue rolling the skins.
While Xuan Yu was processing the skin, Du Heng was not idle either. He got half a basin of shrimp. After cleaning the shrimp and removing the shrimp thread, the only preparation work for the shrimp was to chop it into small pieces. The shrimp did not need to be chopped very finely, just chop it into particles as big as a little finger.
Then he chopped up the meat of the octopus fire dragon and mixed it with diced shrimps to season it. Soon Du Heng had three large pots of meat filling.
Now it was time to wrap wontons. Du Heng took a piece of skin and placed it in the palm of his left hand, with one finger pointing at his middle finger. He picked up a piece of meat filling with chopsticks and placed it in the center of the skin. He used the chopsticks to gently pick up the corner of the skin that fell on the outside of his little finger and folded it to the other corner. The chopsticks gently lifted the two corners of the wonton skin. At the same time, he clenched his four fingers into a fist, and the wonton skin between his fingers was brought into his palm, and the four corners of the wonton skin were closed in his palm.
When he let go of his hand, a wonton with a lot of connotation appeared in Du Heng's palm. Don't be fooled by its ugly appearance, the fillings in it are no less than those in wontons and dumplings!
Du Heng was very fast. He scooped the stuffing with one hand and squeezed the wontons with the other. He quickly placed the plump white wontons on the square plate next to him. Soon he had filled most of the plate.
Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu finally came back after watching the fun. Xiaoxiao jumped next to Du Heng. He asked Du Heng something in a chirping voice. Xuanyu translated: "Xiaoxiao asked you, why didn't you make jade dumplings?"
Since I made beautiful and delicious jade dumplings for Xiaoxiao last time, Xiaoxiao has remembered it. Now whenever he sees Du Heng mixing stuffing, he will ask if he is making jade dumplings. Unfortunately, Du Heng is making shrimp wontons today! Jade dumplings can only wait until next time.
The little feather chirped twice, and Xuan Yu paused in rolling the dough. Du Heng asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Xuan Yu said: "Little Feather said that Xixi went to find Wang Muye."
Du Heng didn't react for a moment: "What does Xixi want to do with Wang Muye..." As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his eyes wide: "Hundian Pearl?! Xixi is going to take out the Hun Tian Pearl?!"
Xuan Yu nodded: "Yes, Nan Nan will wake up soon. They are going to prepare to repair Xiao Xiao's spiritual roots."
Du Heng didn't know how Xuan Yu could stay calm at this moment. He couldn't keep it. He threw away the wonton in his hand and ran out. At this time, he just saw Feng Gui's golden hair disappear into the stone room next door. Du Heng squeezed through the crowd: "Hey, make way, let me pass!"
However, when he arrived at the door of the stone chamber, he was blocked by the barrier! Du Heng was frustrated and said in dismay: "Huh... so stingy, you won't even let me see it?"
Wang Muye still had his back to the door of the stone chamber, and Feng Gui didn't mind. He folded his arms and looked Wang Muye up and down: "I'm here to take something away."
Wang Muye finally moved, his voice carrying a hint of sadness: "You are Feng Jun? I've heard of you. Ever since I knew you were in the ruins, I've been wondering when you would come to retrieve the Chaos Pearl. It's been eight hundred years, and I didn't expect that today it would be returned to its original owner."
Feng Gui said calmly, "Isn't it normal to return things to their original owners? They weren't yours in the first place, and you've gained so much benefit from borrowing them for the past eight hundred years. As a human being, you shouldn't be too greedy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Gui's hand passed through Wang Muye's back and stopped at his heart. Wang Muye's body froze, and an inexplicable fear lingered in his heart. He opened his mouth to call for help and struggled, but he couldn't.
Feng Gui said slowly, "It won't hurt, don't worry." As soon as he finished speaking, a golden bead appeared in Feng Gui's hand, and there was not a drop of blood on his finger. However, Wang Muye seemed to have lost his backbone, and he became depressed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The bead was the color of the sun at its highest point, so dazzling that people dared not look directly at it. Feng Gui slowly grasped the Hun Tian Pearl. After eight hundred years, the Hun Tian Pearl finally returned to his hands. Before the Hun Tian Pearl became the sacred object of the Phoenix Clan, it was first a bead that Qing Heng brought back from the Chaos Sea.
Everyone in the world said that the saint had benefited from the three chaos beads, and his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. In fact, few people knew that the real beneficiaries were the saint's three little pets. He got the Chaos Bead, Nan Nan got the Illusion Bead, and Xiao Yu got the Slaughter Bead. These three were the monsters chosen by the three chaos beads.
The Hun Tianzhu returned to the hands of its old master. It was cheering and jumping for joy. Feng Gui could feel the majestic demonic power overflowing from the Hun Tianzhu. In Feng Gui's hands, it was alive and jumping.
Feng Gui put the Hun Tianzhu into his sleeve and turned to leave. At this time, he heard Wang Muye's voice, which sounded like tears: "Eight hundred years, I have owned it for eight hundred years..."
Feng Gui didn't even turn his head: "Even if it stays with you for 80,000 years, it is not yours."
Wang Muye turned his head suddenly, his eyes were red like a ghost, he said sternly: "But it's not yours! It belongs to the Chaos Sea, whoever is capable can get it!"
Feng Gui said nonchalantly: “If you think you have the ability, just snatch it from me.
”
After saying this, Feng Gui strode out of the stone chamber. Wang Muye never dared to make a move, because he knew he was no match for Feng Gui. After the Chaos Bead was removed from his body, he did not feel anything and his cultivation did not stagnate, but he felt that his greatest support was gone.
As soon as Feng Gui came out, he met Du Heng's eyes. Du Heng's eyes were full of joy. He wanted to ask something but was worried about the people around him. But he was too happy, his eyes were full of light: "Can Xiao Xiao's spiritual roots be saved?"
Feng Gui nodded: "When Nan Nan wakes up, we will help Xiao Xiao replenish her spiritual roots."
Du Heng jumped up with excitement: "Great! When will Nan Nan wake up?!"
Speaking of this topic, Feng Gui could only shake his head regretfully: "I don't know, it may take a few days. Make him a few more spiced eggs, he likes to eat that."
Du Heng was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll do it!"
In the kitchen, Xuan Yu was learning how to make wontons. When Du Heng came back, Xiao Yu's wontons had already filled a whole tray. Du Heng smiled, and he hugged Xiao Xiao and spun her around several times: "Xiao Xiao! Your spiritual roots will recover soon!!"
Xiaoxiao laughed happily. In fact, he didn't care whether he could recover his spiritual roots or not. As long as he could be with everyone, he felt happy every day.
Du Heng was going to send a bowl of wontons to Feng Gui and Nan Nan first. He had been stewing chicken soup or pigeon soup in his casserole for the past few days. He would drink it as soon as Nan Nan woke up. The chicken soup in the casserole was warm at this moment, which was perfect for cooking wontons.
Wontons are easy to cook. Put wontons in the pot after the water in the pot boils. When wontons float on the water, cover the lid. After half a cup of tea, wontons are cooked. At this time, take out the wontons and put them in a large bowl. Pour chicken soup and sprinkle chopped green onions. A bowl of shrimp wontons is ready.
