Chapter 55 55 Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge "He just called me ma...

Ning Changkong held the gun and stared at Phoenix, thinking wildly: "You said he is a foreign bird, can he understand Chinese?"

Chu Qingge casually replied: "How about you switch to English and say it again?"

Ning Changkong: "How embarrassing is this? Wearing ancient costumes and speaking English? But the phoenix is ​​the king of birds, so it's normal for it to speak bird language?"

And Phoenix is ​​one of Solomon's seventy-two demons. Wouldn't it be better to speak ancient languages ​​like ancient Hebrew?

Under Ning Changkong's gaze, Phoenix's expression was blank for a moment, and then he returned to his indifference. He waved his hand, and the heat waves in the air seemed to be summoned by him, gathering into white tongues of fire and rushing towards Ning Changkong.

At the same time, Ning Changkong pointed his gun at the ground, and a wall of fire formed by the phoenix fire rose up. The white flames of the phoenix were swallowed by the red phoenix fire, and this tentative attack was thwarted in an instant.

Ning Changkong narrowed his eyes. The breath of this flame...

Chu Qingge analyzed: "That flame has a strange aura of reincarnation."

Ning Changkong brought up another topic: "What do you think Phoenix took from the Tongshan Fantasy?"

Chu Qingge: "Well, rationally speaking, the other half of Phoenix's heart is dirty?"

Ning Changkong felt the beating of the broken heart in his chest. The drawer where Phoenix took the things was tampered by Li Bo, and the soul blood crystal stone that sealed the fragment of Phoenix's heart fell out.

"I was just thinking that by taking away this piece of heart, I gained the ability to dispel evil spirits..."

So are the things that Phoenix took away also related to evil spirits?

Ning Changkong blocked a bombardment that was entirely made of evil energy and looked behind him. Yan Xiaoling activated the blood bottle amulet in time and also blocked this attack.

It was hard to tell who he was, seeing how evil he looked now. Ning Changkong released his spiritual power and carefully explored the structure of the maze.

He displayed the characteristics of the phoenix's spiritual power in a high-profile manner in front of everyone. Wasn't it just to lure the enemy himself and wait for the culprit to attack him?

Let him think carefully about how to use the maze structure here to trap this immortal bird... He can't kill it, but he has to get some information out of it.

Phoenix was already in front of him, slashing several times with his sword with evil spirit. Ning Changkong was not in a hurry to kill him, but just raised his gun to block and opened his mouth to ask questions:

"Why, you stole someone else's things but you don't dare admit it?"

This time he asked in English. Phoenix kept silent, but the evil spirit on the sword became thicker. Ning Changkong was also unable to resist, so he had to activate his blood bottle amulet.

Well, Phoenix is ​​in the range of the shield's purification effect. This wave will directly reduce his evil spirit by half, and he should be severely stunned.

Most of the evil energy in his body was purified, and Phoenix froze for a moment, revealing a blank expression:

"Owner……?"

A silver-gray shadow broke through the air, and a sword of ancient style pierced through Ning Changkong's protective shield and pointed directly at Phoenix's heart.

Phoenix dodged narrowly, allowing the sword to pierce his left shoulder.

Zuo Langning and his group arrived.

Ning Changkong activated the temporary restraint formation that he had modified based on the maze, and asked doubtfully, "Did he just call me master? What's going on?"

Chu Qingge was also a little puzzled: "I was thinking that he looks so much like Feng Qingwu, maybe he is the cub of the phoenix, and you still have to call him brother... Never mind, just arrest him and ask him clearly and you will know."

"That's right." The three protagonists behind him had been sent out of the maze by Zuo Langning using his examiner authority. Phoenix was frozen in place after being stabbed by the sword, and was even more unable to move after being cast a restraining spell by Yue Jingting. Next, he only needs to activate this restraining formation -

With a loud "bang", the scenery in front of me suddenly changed.

The maze was solved.

"Cough cough cough... Sorry, I didn't expect to cause such a big commotion." Li Bo walked out of the smoke holding a long object wrapped in white cloth.

Chu Qingge said helplessly: "He took away the weapon that the maze protected, so the maze was naturally lifted."

The restraint formation they had come up with on the spur of the moment was thus wasted.

Ning Changkong carefully looked at the weapon that Li Bo was holding in one hand. Judging from its shape, it didn't look like a sword or a knife... a gun or a halberd?

The current situation is four against two, but the opponent is an immortal phoenix and a formation master with countless back-up plans. The maze that can be used for processing has been broken, and it is not realistic to draw a temporary formation. We can fight, but I am afraid that we will not be able to save anyone.

The key to the problem is how much intelligence can be obtained. Ning Changkong pondered. Judging from the current performance, the cooperation between Li Bo and Phoenix is ​​not reliable. The demands of the two people should be different. I wonder if it is possible to sow discord between them?

Li Bo was the first to speak. He asked with a smile, "How is your injury recovering, little brother?"

He's not done yet, is he? He has to keep bringing this up again and again? Ning Changkong tightened his grip on the rifle, wondering if it could be used as a javelin, and poked Li Bo in the head.

Zuo Lang looked at Li Bo in surprise and doubt, but found that his eyes were not looking at Yue Jingting, but staring at Ning Changkong.

She widened her eyes and tilted her head to look at Yue Jingting, noticing that his gaze was also on Feng Huang, but there was no surprise on his face, only inquiry.

While Zuo Langning was distracted, Phoenix used the blood as a guide, and a blazing white flame suddenly ignited, repelling the two people who were trying to control him, and retreated to Li Bo's side in a flash.

Ning Changkong spoke slowly: "Long is not dead yet, are you planning to go back and report like this?"

Li Bo glanced at Phoenix imperceptibly, and Phoenix took the initiative to explain: "The master's mission."

Ning Changkong's mind moved. He was right about this: Phoenix wanted to kill Gu Minghui, but he didn't do it on the night of the Lantern Festival. This was probably Chi Zhaoming's request, but since he could kill Lin Jinsong at the same time, it meant that he didn't care about the cooperative relationship with Chi Zhaoming.

Then the one who stopped him from killing Gu Minghui was most likely another partner in that operation - Li Bo.

Why is that? Ning Changkong made a gun flower, and used the action to cover up a gesture to Zuo Langning and others behind him, and said nonchalantly: "Destroying the bridge after crossing the river is not a skill--"

Before he finished speaking, the tip of the gun, blazing with flames, had already reached Li Bo. Target: the weapon in Li Bo's arms.

If people can’t stay, let’s see if we can force things to stay!

Ning Changkong paid attention to the expressions of Phoenix and Li Bo under high alert. When he heard the words "destroying the bridge after crossing the river", Li Bo's face changed slightly and showed some annoyance.

——He guessed it right again.

According to current intelligence, Phoenix worked with Li Bo on the night of the Lantern Festival to use the Yinglong aura on Gu Minghui to open the door to the Tongshan illusion. In other words, Gu Minghui's role is to "open the door", or at least he can "open the door".

The Tongshan illusion had collapsed when Ning Changkong left, leaving behind an illusion related to Yinglong, which was undoubtedly the Longyuan illusion.

Ning Changkong didn't dare to guess this step just based on the "opening of the door". The reason why he dared to test it was because he had always been concerned about one question:

Why does Chi Zhaoming believe that Li Bo can bring spiritual revival?

Where does the basis for this gamble come from?

If Ning Changkong were to guess, the answer would undoubtedly be - the exploration to the Dragon Abyss Fantasy Land ten years ago.

But what did they see there? Ning Changkong put away his gun thoughtfully. The three of them and the demon attacked together, but they still couldn't stop Li Bo and Phoenix, nor did they stop the weapon that Li Bo was holding.

He just lifted the white cloth and took a quick look.

"It's a halberd." Chu Qingge said decisively, "It's a halberd of very ancient style, it's not a Fang Tian Hua Ji, and I can't tell much else."

In Chinese history and legends, there are many famous swords, but not many famous halberds, so it is a bit difficult to distinguish them. Ning Changkong sighed, and for a moment he had no idea.

Chu Qingge continued, "There is one more thing. Before Phoenix teleported away, he looked at you with a complicated look, and also looked at the place where Zuo Langning stabbed him in half."

Ning Changkong also subconsciously turned his head to look there. However, he saw that the bright red blood had turned black, and all the vitality had disappeared.

What a strange ability. Ning Changkong frowned and carefully checked the scene. He actually found a pure white feather in the black "blood pool". After picking it up and looking at it carefully, the feather was not stained with black blood at all, and it was still pure white.

"The feathers of the phoenix are white? What kind of logic is this?" Ning Changkong muttered as he put away the feathers.

Whether according to the legend or according to what he saw with his own eyes, the Phoenix's feathers should be golden red. How come they faded in the blink of an eye?

Chu Qingge complained: "Didn't you pick up too many feathers?"

"The phoenix is ​​the king of birds, so it's normal for it to collect feathers from all birds." Ning Changkong retorted.

After checking the scene, we checked the core of the maze and found no written records to help decipher the origin of the halberd.

Ning Changkong crossed his arms and thought. Oh, by the way, Wen Qingsheng's phoenix feathers need to be recharged again. Next, he will go find the three protagonists. It would be best if he could see them return to school...

Then I heard a quiet voice coming from behind me:

"May I ask if the young master could explain to me how I suddenly appeared in the maze?"

Ning Changkong felt a chill on his back.

Oh no, I was so focused on solving the case that I forgot about it.

The first year of the spiritual recovery, Friday morning of June 20, the fantasy land of ten thousand soldiers.

In the end, Ning Changkong was fooled.

At that time, there were three of them and one demon. They found a high point and borrowed Zuo Langning's authority as an examiner to watch the three little ones solve the problems and break the formation.

Yue Jingting was explaining very professionally, and occasionally exchanged a few words with Feng Huang. However, before people could watch for long, Ning Changkong suddenly disappeared.

Just as he disappeared, Phoenix appeared in the surveillance footage of the three little ones, followed by the scene of Ning Changkong protecting the three.

Ning Changkong's reaction speed was too fast and his action was too timely. But he insisted that it was the phoenix feather's distress spell that was at work. Yue Jingting had checked the pendant and found that it did have this function, so he didn't want to make a fuss about it.

In the student lounge after the exam, Ning Changkong pretended to check the phoenix feather and recharged it.

"Okay." Ning Changkong returned the pendant to Wen Qingsheng, and Wen Qingsheng nodded in thanks.

The three of them looked at each other, bowed in unison, and said in unison: "Thank you, Mingqi-kun, for saving our lives."

So in sync? Did they rehearse this when he was dealing with Li Bo? Ning Changkong helped the man up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You and I have some affinity, and you are my junior. I will not stand by and watch you fall into danger."

He thought for a moment, and then said seriously, "This time I happened to be traveling with Zuo Gezhu and Yue Jianyuan, and I watched you solve the problem, so I was able to help you in time. In the future, you should be more careful, and it is best to have a teacher accompany you when you leave school."

At the end, he deliberately looked at Gu Minghui for a second longer. Gu Minghui looked thoughtful and asked in confusion: "Senior Ning, why did that thief call me 'Dragon'?"

In fact, I also want to know. Ning Chang said something on an empty stomach, and said in a mysterious way: "You shouldn't ask me about this matter. Why don't you ask your parents and teachers?"

Yan Xiaoling handed over the sachet-shaped amulet at this time: "Senior, this is returned to you."

"I'll give you this little gadget I made casually." Ning Changkong gently refused and said, "If you inject spiritual power into this thing, it can activate the shield and resist evil spirits. But the energy is limited, and it can only be activated three or four times. If we are destined to meet again, I will recharge your energy."

In the distance. Zuo Langning watched Ning Changkong communicating with the three people, turned his head to whisper to Yue Jingting, and asked softly: "You knew it a long time ago?"

Yue Jingting was also looking at that place, his eyes fixed on it: "The last time I met Senior Brother, he said the same thing, but Feng Huang refused to admit it."

Zuo Langning: "How sure are you?"

Yue Jingting thought for a moment and said, "Forty-and-a-half percent."

Ning Changkong's behavior was completely consistent. The most abnormal thing was his visit to the three little ones today, but it made sense.

"That's enough." Zuo Langning stepped forward quickly, "Senior Ning——"

"Master Zuo." Ning Changkong interrupted her without leaving a trace. "I have to go back to Penglai first to take care of the affairs of the clan. I plan to discuss the attack with Director Chi this afternoon. I wonder if you and Yue Jianyuan are free to testify?"

Zuo Langning was interrupted by him and had to nod in agreement. Before he could say anything else, Ning Changkong had already said goodbye and turned to walk towards the demon clan's team.

Wen Qingsheng sighed softly: "Senior Ning is so kind."

Yan Xiaoling followed Ning Changkong's back closely and murmured, "Yes."

Gu Minghui joined the discussion: "But instead of saying 'people are so nice', we should say 'demons are so nice', right?"

"Hey, is the sacred bird considered a demon?"

Hearing this, Zuo Langning came back to his senses. Looking at Ning Changkong who was discussing with a group of monsters, he felt mixed emotions.

Yue Jingting also appeared beside her at this time. He said to Wen Qingsheng, "Xiao Wen, can I take another look at your pendant?"

Wen Qingsheng handed it to him carefully. Yue Jingting asked in surprise as soon as he got it: "Does this feather still have energy?"

After using it for so long and activating the emergency rescue technique, the energy is still so abundant?

Wen Qingsheng blinked innocently: "Senior Ning just helped me recharge my energy, so I still have a lot of energy."

"What…?"
