"…Then you just said you didn't need it…"

"Brother Ji is a Chongming Bird, and he will show his true form when he is on the verge of death. Of course, this little poison won't be used."

"…"

Yun Yan wanted to curse something in his heart, but as a cultivator, he couldn't say dirty words. After holding it in for a long time, he could only sigh. Ning Helan's character is really not as innocent as he looks.

While Chongming Bird and Ning Helan were being intimate, the hook snake shot out several poisonous gas balls. Chongming Bird was sensitive to these little movements of the hook snake, turned its head and chirped, and those poisonous gas balls were dispersed. The hook snake used several tricks again, but they were all easily resolved by Chongming Bird.

"Asshole..." The hook snake gnashed its teeth, took a step back and hid its body, looking like it was going to run away.

The double-eyed bird's pupils turned, and it swooped forward, pressing the hook snake tightly under its body with its huge bird claws. The hook snake's pupils suddenly shrank, and a lot of white smoke came out of its body. As the white smoke disappeared, the hook snake actually showed its true form, which was the one Ning Helan had just seen in the snake cave.

After showing its true form, the hook snake was obviously much faster. It twisted its body and entangled with the double-eyed bird, but it was still no match for the double-eyed bird. After a few rounds, it was pecked all over by the double-eyed bird.

Ning Helan and Yun Yan walked forward and saw the hook snake lying under the claws of the heavy-life bird, dying.

Yun Yan sighed: "Is this the legendary blood suppression of birds over snakes?"

Then he turned his head to look at the majestic and tall heavy-life bird next to him. He wanted to touch its gorgeous feathers, but he didn't dare.

Ning Helan looked at the hook snake on the ground. He had not breathed in much yet. His snake eyes were shining with cold light, and his mouth opened and closed, and a lot of green blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"What grudge do you have with my grandfather?" Ning Helan asked him with her eyes downcast.

"...Heh..." The hook snake moved its mouth, snorted disdainfully, and then turned its head away and was motionless.

The Chongming bird retracted its claws at this time, and it used its claws to pull the hook snake, but the hook snake's body was limp and did not respond.

Yun Yan squatted down carefully and took a closer look: "Is it dead now?"

He turned his head to look at Ning Helan, and Ning Helan's expression did not look much better, but became more serious.

"What's wrong?"

"...Very strange."

Ning Helan raised his head and looked around: "Hook Snake is an ancient giant snake, and its cultivation is calculated based on tens of thousands of years, but he...why does he look like he has only been practicing for a thousand years?"

Yun Yan was stunned, and then he reacted: "Yes, a ten-thousand-year-old monster can't just die like this. Even if he is facing a Chongming Bird, it shouldn't be like this..."

Ning Helan's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and Yun Yan guessed: "Could it be that he is not actually Hook Snake? Is he a fake?"

"He is Hook Snake, but why..." Ning Helan folded his hands, he couldn't figure it out.

The Chongming bird shook its feathers, lowered its head and rubbed Ning Helan's shoulder. Ning Helan touched him with her backhand. The Chongming bird called out, and its body was wrapped in a ball of red light. Its body quickly shrank, and finally turned into the rooster wearing a pink Hello Kitty shirt.

The rooster seemed to have used up all its energy, and fell asleep on the ground.

Ning Helan picked up the rooster: "Thank you for your hard work."

Yun Yan was itching to watch from the side: "Can I hold you?"

Ning Helan looked at Yun Yan's sparkling and expectant eyes, and handed the rooster to him with a smile. Yun Yan carefully took the rooster. This bald rooster looked so beautiful in his eyes. It's true that you can't judge a chicken by its appearance. It's a Chongming bird!

Yun Yan felt like he was holding a treasure in his arms, and he was very happy. He patted the chicken brother gently, as if he was coaxing a child to sleep.

At this time, the body of the hook snake on the ground suddenly turned into a pile of black and purple dust. Ning Helan quickly stepped forward, squatted down and touched it with his hand: "This is just the clone of the hook snake..."

"What?" Yun Yan also squatted down.

Ning Helan's originally tense expression suddenly relaxed, and he curled his lips slightly: "Sure enough... This is not the real body of the hook snake."

Yun Yan saw the glimmer in Ning Helan's eyes, and suddenly he couldn't help but get goose bumps, because he felt Ning Helan's excitement, just like a great god who met a strong opponent and couldn't suppress the expectation in his heart.

Next, they had to go to Linglan Temple to find the true form of the hook snake. Ning Helan looked up at the endless cliff and shook hands secretly.

"How can we get up such a high cliff?" Yun Yan said, "I remember that when a cultivator reaches a certain stage, he can fly with a sword. Ning Helan, can you do that?"

"No." Ning Helan answered concisely.

"Then let's..."

"Call for help."

"What?"

Yun Yan looked at Ning Helan in surprise, and saw Ning Helan took out her cell phone and made a call. After hanging up, Ning Helan glanced at Yun Yan with a twitching mouth: "Just now Qian Jin and the others called a helicopter, and I asked them to pick us up... Do you think we should climb back?" Yun Yan:

...

Soon the helicopter rumbled over and took the two people off the cliff.

Qian Jin, who was sitting inside, looked at them: "Are you really not going with us?"

"No, we have something else to do." Ning Helan smiled.

Qian Jin looked at the foggy mountain and said, "It's too foggy here, the helicopter can't go up anymore, otherwise I could give you a ride."

"It's okay, this place is not far from the Taoist temple," Ning Helan said.

Qian Jin nodded, "Okay, be careful."

"Wait," Ning Helan stopped Qian Jin who was about to leave, "Qian Jin, please don't spread the news here."

There was a snake cave in the mountain, and there were snakes that were too big to be human. Once the news spread, it would definitely cause a sensation. Countless people would come here. Let's not talk about whether they could find anything. There are so many snakes here, and I'm afraid many people would become the snakes' food.

"...Okay, I understand." Qian Jin knew what Ning Helan was going to say, and showed a relieved expression, and Ning Helan smiled back.

"Whoosh whoosh~"

As the sound of the helicopter became smaller and smaller, the shadow of the helicopter also disappeared into the horizon.

Having just solved the hook snake's clone, the fog here is not as thick as before, and the steps that disappeared on the ground are now gradually revealed.

The two climbed up the steps for a long time, and the road in front of them was blocked by a cluster of thorns. After cutting off some of the thorns, a Taoist temple appeared in front of them. The Taoist temple

is simple and ancient, with a vermilion gate full of mottled paint marks. There are a lot of fallen leaves piled above the eaves, and there are even a few small spider webs under the eaves. It looks like no one has cleaned it for a long time.

On the beam below hangs a plaque with the three characters "Linglan Temple" written in cursive script with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, but the hot gold parts are quite discolored.

There should have been two door knockers on the gate of Linglan Temple, but now there is only one left, and the copper on it has turned green.

Ning Helan went forward and pushed the door. It didn't open at the first push, but after a little effort, the heavy door creaked open.

The gate was filled with fog. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds. Wild grass grew wildly in the cracks of the stone slabs. Several wild flowers swayed in the wind. The tiny flower stems could not bear the stamens above. The petals flew away with the wind when the wind was a little stronger.

In front of the hall was a semi-open hall. There were no walls in the front and back areas. In the middle was a statue with a destroyed upper body. The table in front of the statue was missing a corner. The incense burner also fell to the ground, and the incense ash was scattered all over the ground. The incense inside was only half burned.

Ning Helan was very surprised. This place was only sealed off, and the Taoists should still live in it. Why did it look like it had been abandoned for a long time?

Yun Yan walked to the bust and took a closer look. Then he picked up the incense burner that had fallen on the ground and gently placed it on the altar. He then took out three incense sticks from the side and lit them. He bowed devoutly to the bust and then inserted them into the incense burner.

Ning Helan stood behind him and also looked at the bust for a few times. From the remaining corners of its clothes, he found a few beautifully embroidered flowers. This seemed to be no ordinary god.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the local flower fairy." Yun Yan said, "Every place has a flower god, they are all disciples of the Fairy of Flowers. Linglan Temple is famous for its Linglan flowers, and the Fairy of Linglan should be the local flower fairy, but why is it destroyed like this..."

Ning Helan looked around: "Something must have happened here."

As soon as the voice fell, a beam of light came over and directly split the incense burner that Yun Yan had just placed in the middle. The incense burner and the altar were broken into two halves and fell to the ground.

"Who is it!" Yun Yan shouted, looking at the place where the light came from. Behind the statue, a Taoist priest stood up at some point.

Ning Helan narrowed her eyes, and Yun Yan exclaimed first: "Senior Brother Xu!"

This person is Xu Qingyang.

"Brother Xu, what's wrong with you..." Yun Yan was about to run up excitedly, but he didn't expect Xu Qingyang to shoot out a few more beams of light, forcing Yun Yan to stay away. When these beams of light hit the wall or the ground, it would create a crack.

Yun Yan stopped abruptly: "Brother Xu?"

Xu Qingyang didn't say anything. He took a step forward and silently used his moves. Yun Yan retreated repeatedly to avoid his attack. Ning Helan stepped forward and blocked Xu Qingyang's moves. Xu Qingyang threw another punch with his backhand, which was once again resolved by Ning Helan. After a few moves, the two jumped back and distanced themselves.

"Brother Xu, what's wrong with you?" Yun Yan only realized now that Xu Qingyang was a little bit abnormal.

Ning Helan saw that Xu Qingyang's eyes were lifeless, and his attack just now was very mechanical. Could it be that he was controlled by someone?

Before the two of them could figure it out, Xu Qingyang conjured up a dozen talisman papers, which floated in the air and then turned into spikes, and then hit the two of them.

Ning Helan and Yun Yan hurriedly dodged, "Swish, swish, swish!" Those spikes hit the ground, making a hole. If they hit a person, the bones and flesh would definitely be broken.

"Senior Brother Xu!"

"It's useless. He can't hear you now."

Ning Helan looked at Xu Qingyang's moves. These were all earth-based spells. He looked around and found that there was not a single tree in this Taoist temple. The only tree had been dead for a long time.

As he was thinking, he saw a well nearby, and ran over to take a look. The water inside was full and clear.

Yun Yan followed and opened the barrier with his backhand, blocking Xu Qingyang's spike attack. He looked back at the well: "Ning Helan, do you want to use water?"

"Yes."

"But the attributes are mutually exclusive, will it work?"

"There is no such thing as attribute mutual exclusiveness here."
