516. The fish enter the water, and the bird hides in the forest
Danyoucheng changed into its original body, a giant snake several feet long, with a triangular head covered with yellow-brown patterns. Its shape is extremely terrifying. The ribs are winged and can fly in the air, and the mouth is sprayed with poisonous flames and mist and is extremely cold. When practicing magic with the disciples of the Wanbian Sect, of course, they cannot spray poisonous flames and hurt people. Danyoucheng sacrifices magic treasure scrolls and heavenly silk to fight.
At this time, we could see the power of the formation. Dan Youcheng could not defeat the demons, but this flying giant snake was very clever. Taking advantage of the differences in the cultivation level of the demons, he broke through the weak links of the formation several times. Cheng Tianle stood outside the formation, sacrificed the whisk and rolled it back. The simulation was the means to deal with Bi Mingjun.
Dan Youcheng tried several times and discussed with Cheng Tianle what to improve this formation. Because he didn't know what Bi Mingjun's magical powers were, it was always right to think that the enemy was lenient. Dan Youcheng believed that this formation itself had no flaws, but the person who set up the formation had flaws. He could not defeat the demons, but he could always struggle to get out of trouble.
The changes and operation of this formation are extremely complex and mysterious. The demons cannot control them all. There is no problem with dealing with ordinary monks, but it may be a bit troublesome to deal with masters in the world. If Dan Youcheng fights life and death, it is not impossible to specialize in hurting or destroying one person.
Cheng Tianle was most afraid of the casualties of the demons, so he changed his strategy and focused the drill of the formation mainly on overall defense. The theoretically, the attacks undertaken by the formation were not to be borne by a demon cultivator. There was a kind of rotation power formed into a whole, but during the drill, you must master it proficiently and not leave any stagnant flaws. Bi Mingjun may still break out, so let Cheng Tianle block the gap outside the formation at any time.
Cheng Tianle's purpose is not to kill Bi Mingjun. It is best to capture this person, so it is best not to be injured. Otherwise, there is no need to set up a formation. The siege of demons is enough to beat Bi Mingjun to death. Dan Youcheng said again: "Although this formation is mysterious, it also has a disadvantage. You have to set up and start it first, and others may not fall into the trap."
Cheng Tianle replied: "I have found out his place of residence and the secret place of cultivation in daily life. I will set up a large array in advance and wait for him to enter the trap. I will act cautiously. When he realizes something is wrong, the formation will be activated."
Dan Youcheng asked again: "Do you want me to help?"
Cheng Tianle bowed and said, "Fellow Taoist You Cheng has helped a lot. This is a personal grudge. Bi Fang did not use his supernatural powers to do anything bad. In fact, it has nothing to do with the world of cultivation, it is just an economic case."
Dan Youcheng smiled and said, "Economic case? It is strange that Cheng Zheng has created such a big battle for an economic case."
...
On the outskirts of Nanjing, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, a distance from the upstream was a small tributary that was not big or small in flowing into the river. Periodic flooding caused this area to form a wetland delta. Although its scope is not as wide as Hangzhou Xixi Wetland, it is located in the suburbs and seems very remote and empty. In addition to the main river channel, there are also large and small islands, mudflats and seasonal tributaries, and the vegetation is very lush.
Celery and coin grass grow in the water level. The coastal areas are scattered reeds, and the shores are all kinds of flowers and wild trees. It is inconvenient to sail here. It is almost half-submerged in summer, so few people come. There is a larger island deep in the wetland, surrounded by water on all sides, but no grass grows on the island. The surface of the land that should be silted is solid glazed. It reflects vaguely in the sun, as if it has been sintered repeatedly, as if it has been sintered by repeated high temperatures.
This is the secret cultivation place of the spiritual bird Bi Fang. The tall trees around it cover the island tightly, and when it tried its natural magical powers to control the flames and feathers, the water around the island was a natural barrier. The environment here is very good. When Cheng Tianle saw it for the first time, he even thought that if a two-story building was built on this island, it would be such a quiet and comfortable vacation place, and there would be no disturbances.
This island is about ten feet in radius, surrounded by water surfaces ranging from five to six meters wide, and is surrounded by wetlands and dense forests. There is no way to set up ambush in the small island without any grass. The demon cultivators under Cheng Tianle have to lurk in the dense forests separated by water in different directions. Not only should they carefully restrain their spirits, but they also integrate the body and spirit and the earth's energy and spiritual pivots. It is difficult to detect if they do not expand their spiritual consciousness to disturb the large-scale search.
According to the information obtained, Ren Daozhi, chairman of **Yuhu Tiandao Investment Company, has recently come to the Nanjing branch to preside over the work. A large project of the company has been successfully completed and a large amount of funds have been recovered. The new investment project is under negotiation and the company owner needs to come forward in person. It is estimated that the negotiation will take a long time, and we must manage all aspects of relationships and conduct various feasibility study demonstrations.
Bi Mingjun, who was a pseudonym Ren Daozhi, came back. Cheng Tianle, who received the news, did not act rashly at the beginning, but ordered people to wait and see in secret. Bi Mingjun did go to the small island in the wetland to practice every second half of the night. For the sake of safety, Cheng Tianle sent Dragon Fruit and Mu Lengyun to secretly monitor it, and ordered them to keep a certain distance and not to use any magical powers.
These two demon cultivators also learned the method of "retaining demonic energy" in the Wanbian Sect, and turned it into the original body and was no different from the normal race. Moreover, the environment they hide is the most familiar and suitable. The wetland is a paradise for birds, and there are hundreds of birds of all sizes. The starlings are also one of their species, and Mu Lengyun is a starling monster.
There are all kinds of fish in the water, of course there are also Ondin fish, and the dragon fruit is the Ondin fish demon. Mu Lengyun is hidden in the bushes in the distance, mingling with the starling birds in the wild, while the dragon fruit cruising on the bank of the Yangtze River, mingling in the wild fish. Hiding birds in the forest and hiding fish in the water is plain and natural, but it is the best way to hide.
The two demon cultivators did not approach the edge of the island, but just observed Bi Fang's daily journey on trees and in the water. According to Dragon Fruit, the spirit bird was very narcissistic. When there was no one in the middle of the night, it flew to the riverside and combed its feathers under the moonlight, and looked intoxicated by his shadow from time to time.
Mu Lengyun also discovered this. Bi Fang practiced his talented magical powers, and the scene of the fire feather flying dance was very gorgeous, so gorgeous that it was no longer necessary. It seemed not just for cultivation, but more like a show of flaunting. But on the isolated island of wetlands that were no one in the night, who did it show off to? This spirit bird was not for others to see, but was showing off to itself, and it felt quite intoxicated.
When the two demon cultivators reported the observed results to Cheng Tianle, they couldn't believe it and thought Bi Fang was funny and fun. However, when Cheng Tianle heard them recounting Bi Fang's trial of magical powers, he felt that the innate magical powers of this spiritual bird was very difficult to deal with. The ambush must be launched to form a formation in an instant, otherwise it would be difficult to keep it.
Dragon Fruit and Mu Lengyun did not know the background of Wanbian Sect. In their eyes, Cheng Zong and Wanbian Sect's demons are of course powerful. No matter how powerful the spirit bird is, it will be able to handle it as soon as everyone takes action, but Cheng Tianle has to be careful. The spirit bird is indeed narcissistic, or pretentious, and it is probably not easy to conquer it. People may look down on ordinary demon cultivators at all.
Although Bi Fang turned into a human form and was mixed in the world, he still had a noble mentality and even looked down on ordinary people in the world, let alone ordinary monsters? The reason why it hides in the market is to find a sense of success and enjoy the great world is that there are too many things that cannot be obtained in the mountains and fields, such as wealth and status. The most important thing is not what it has, but the satisfaction brought by having all this.
In order to downplay its vigilance, Cheng Tianle did not make any other arrangements in the first few days. After all, the spirit bird had not come for a while. In the first few days, it was very careful to search the surrounding conditions of the wetlands, but everything was safe and relieved after a week. Various wild animals live in the forests of the wetlands, on the islands, and in the water, forming a messy atmosphere, which is also a natural warning barrier. If someone approaches this place at night, all kinds of wild animals will be alarmed, and Bi Fang can also be alert in time.
However, this messy aura environment was also used by Cheng Tianle to hide the demon cultivators. In order not to disturb Bi Mingjun, they came one day a week later. They quietly lurked in the bushes, restrained their spirits, and integrated their breath with the earth's spirit. They looked nothing unusual, and they were not easy to detect even if they were swept through them with their spiritual sense.
From noon to midnight, these people did not move at all. Some people also had a lot of bird droppings, some people crawled over bugs and ants, and even naughty squirrels fell directly on someone's shoulders and jumped onto the tree. Nothing was wrong. Just after midnight, a blurry light and shadow flew into the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, as if they were shrouded in a layer of frosted glass and couldn't see clearly.
The light and shadow flew over the treetops of the wetland and landed on the dry island, turning into a one-legged giant bird. It is more than one person tall, with three toes on its lower claws, firmly clamping the ground. But its body is in a semi-floating state, as if it doesn't have to always touch the ground with its feet.
Its blue feathers and white beaks and yellow claws and red spots under the moonlight are exactly what Bi Fang looks like in the legend. There are red flame-like patterns on the green feathers, and the wings and tails are the most obvious, and the feather tips on both wings and long tails have even turned completely red. The big bird stood on one foot in the moonlight, then twisted its body and spread its feathers, and had a dance like self-entertainment, which looked very funny and enjoyable.
The demons lying around were not happy when they saw it, but waited quietly for Cheng Chang to issue orders in their divine thoughts. Na Bi Fang spread his wings and waved the red marks on his feathers gradually turned into streams of light, dancing to the point of pleasure, suddenly shook his body, and the flowing light turned into flames and flew around the flying feathers. The scene was extremely gorgeous. Na Bi Fang controlled the fire feathers to fly, and the flames also drifted across the nearby water from time to time, with a bit proud expression, as if he was appreciating himself.
