Chapter 580 The Demon King Reappears

"Anti-real oven?"

Fang Dushu listened to the nearby Taiping League monks talking about the counter-truth oven. He was surprised and a little unbelievable, so he asked Mrs. Zhu for confirmation: "There really is such a rare treasure in the world of immortality, which can reverse the cost of outsiders' enlightenment methods." Do you want to follow your own path?"

"The ancient books left in the Taiping Alliance clearly record the appearance and use of the anti-zhen oven. There must have been senior monks who salvaged this oven before and reversed their ways. It should be true!" Mrs. Zhu said again. :

"But I have never witnessed the power of this oven with my own eyes. The last oven appeared in the Tongtian River, which was five or six thousand years ago. In fact, no monks on Kun-Lai Island have seen it with their own eyes."

After hearing this, Fang Dushu thought to himself, if the details of the counter-real oven are recorded in ancient books, and the shape is consistent with the appearance of the oven that appears at this moment, it means that this kind of oven really has the magical power to reverse one's own path.

However, Fang Dushu believes that the reversal power of this oven should be limited, and it is absolutely impossible to reverse all the best ways.

At least it cannot reverse the innate wisdom of the Kaiyuan Bottle and the Buddha Bell.

In the ancient times, Pengxiu traveled across the world. They collected several innate masters from the Qinghe Divine Continent and ruled Kun-Lai Island with the innate masters. They must have also salvaged the anti-zhen oven in the Tongtian River.

If the Anti-Truth Baking Furnace could turn the innate way into the original way, Peng Xiu would not have been lost back then.

When Fang Dushu thought about it, his expectations for Nizhen Oven decreased.

In fact, even if he wanted to get involved in the Nizhen Furnace, he simply couldn't do it now.

As soon as this oven appeared, it triggered a fierce fight among the late-stage god-transformation monks from Jiuyuan Sect, Xiaoyao Palace and Taiping League. He could not pull out the tiger's teeth alone.

He turned his attention back from upstream, preparing to salvage river treasures that suited his reality.

Mrs. Zhu also had similar thoughts. No matter how much the monks upstream fought for it, she didn't pay attention. She only stared closely at the tidal waves swooping down to the middle reaches.

Soon Mrs. Zhu discovered a piece of Hezhen that was very important to her, and couldn't help shouting: "Scorched Dragon Beard!"

When Fang Dushu heard this, he also followed her gaze and found that a group of spiritual algae emitting golden fire light appeared in the middle. Although it was named 'Scorched Dragon Beard', it was actually an aquatic algae spiritual root, and it was related to the black flames. Algae also possess the spiritual power of fire.

He secretly guessed that perhaps the medicinal effects of Sunburn Dragon Beard and Black Flame Algae were similar, otherwise it would not have caused Mrs. Zhu to lose her composure.

As expected.

While casting a spell to salvage the Burning Dragon Beard, Mrs. Zhu shouted to Fang Dushu: "Master Fang Qing, this Spirit Beard also has the medicinal effect of breaking through the initial bottleneck. Although the medicinal power is weaker than that of Black Flame Algae, it has the ability to temper the body. Its power and value are actually comparable to those of Black Flame Algae! I will salvage it out of the river right now, and please ask Master Fang Qing to keep an eye on it and not let it be snatched away by other monks!"

"You can fish it out!"

Fang Dushu made a fighting gesture: "Fang will try his best to get the dragon beard back for you!"

"Thank you in advance!"

Mrs. Zhu was in high spirits and did not forget to pay attention to the situation nearby when casting spells. She was the first Taiping monk to discover the traces of the Burning Dragon Beard. She would be able to fish them out of the river later. As long as they did not fly to Xiaoyao Palace's territory, she was sure that she would be able to do so. With the support of Dushu, he took Zhilongxu as his own.

But despite all her calculations, she failed to predict that Tongtian River would undergo drastic changes at a critical moment.

Many river treasures that were originally thrown down from top to bottom suddenly came to a standstill in an instant. They no longer flowed along the tide, but were suspended in the river channel, as if they were collectively immobilized by some kind of river force, and they became motionless. .

No matter how Madam Zhu casts spells to salvage it, the Zhilongxu will not move at all, and the same goes for other river treasures near the Zhilongxu, which will no longer be thrown outward.

Instead, as the tide flows down the middle reaches, the water in the Tongtian River begins to reverse, gradually sucking the Dragon Bears into the inner belly of the river.

Seeing that the dragon's beard was getting further and further away and was about to disappear from her sight, Mrs. Zhu suddenly became anxious and suddenly jumped up and rushed into the river.

Her purpose was obvious, she was planning to put herself in danger and personally go into the river to salvage the dragon's beard.

However, her abilities were limited and she could not withstand the violent torrent of the Tongtian River. She just dived into the river and escaped in embarrassment, with several shocking scars appearing on her face.

"Hey, I can't break in!"

After Mrs. Zhu returned to the clam shell, she sighed in frustration.

"Madam, heal your injuries first, and let's figure out a solution later!"

Fang Dushu comforted her: "At present, the Tongtian River has suddenly changed, and all the river treasures have been immobilized. Madam, you can't enter the river, and other monks can't dive in. The Dragon Beard will not be lost for the time being!"

"Perhaps fellow Taoists in the alliance dare not dive into the river, but Jiuyuan Kunshi and Xiaoyao Taoist priests have abnormal blood, and their legal bodies can withstand the power of the river. I am afraid that before long, they will enter the river in large numbers and seal the treasures in the river. It’s all been scooped up!”

Mrs. Zhu sounded a little impatient. She was worried that the Zhilong beard would be snatched away by the Jiuyuan Sect or the Xiaoyao Palace monks, so she wanted to ask Fang Dushu to enter the river for a try. She would not act rashly. Unless Fang Dushu was willing to enter the river, she would not be able to persuade him.

"Madam, don't be too worried." Fang Dushu never expressed his stance on entering the river, but raised his finger:

"Look upstream, the Ni-Zhen Oven fell back into the river during the fight. Even if the Jiuyuan Sect and Xiaoyao Palace's monks in the transformation stage entered the river to fish for treasure, they would fish for the Ni-Zhen Oven first. We still have enough. Time to discuss countermeasures.”

"Well, let's ask Master Fang Qing to come up with a perfect plan. I'll heal the body first!" Mrs. Zhu gradually calmed down. While she was healing her wounds, she was also thinking about how to persuade Fang Dushu to enter the river. She would definitely have to pay a fortune. Generous remuneration, otherwise Fang Dushu will not be impressed.

Fang Dushu had other thoughts. He sent a message to the Witch of Flowers: "Can you see the cause of this accident?"

The Flower Witch said: "Master, do you still remember the demon king sealed deep in the river?"

"How could you forget!" Fang Dushu still remembered the Feather-Armored Demon Lord, and frowned: "Do you think it was the troll?"

"Besides this demon, I really can't think of any other reason!" The Baihua Witch's guess was well-founded, and she said:

"Back then, the previous Witch of Hundred Flowers sneaked into the river to salvage the Xia Xia Pill. This pill originally fell from the upper reaches. The entire Tongtian River was suspended. If there was no external force to hinder it, all the river treasures should be washed to the bottom of the lake. As long as there is a river If Jane is not falling, it is floating somewhere in the river. It must be the demon king who is secretly casting a spell! But..."

"But what?"

"That demon king existed tens of thousands of years ago. Even if its cultivation reaches the Void Refining Stage, its lifespan should have been exhausted long ago. It is impossible for it to survive to this day!"

"You can survive until now, why is it impossible?"

"This... Master, I am not the Hundred Flowers Witch, I just inherited the memory of the Hundred Flowers Witch!"

"It may also be reborn with the help of its mother's body like you, and inherit the memory of its mother's body!"

After hearing this inference, the Flower Witch was speechless.

Because there is no flaw in Fang Dushu's guess, it is very likely to be true.

At this time, the tide has washed down Youqing Lake, and today's holy gift has come to an end.

However, since Hezhen was still sealed in the river, everyone was helpless and left their own places in the river one after another. They gathered in groups to discuss the origin of this incident. Tian Xuanqing and Lu Liangshi, who recommended Fang Dushu to join the Taiping League, also came to the clam shell formation together.

When Fang Dushu saw the two people coming, he immediately asked them for their opinions on the incident at Tongtian River.

But Tian Xuanqing said: "All the fellow Taoists in the alliance are spreading rumors that He Zhen must have been possessed by an ancient troll."

Fang Dushu knew that he was talking about the Arm Feather Demon Lord: "What kind of troll is he?"

Tian Xuanqing threw him a scroll casually.

He unfolded it and found a giant arm drawn in the scroll. This giant arm had the outline of a human arm and was covered with bird-like feathers, like a row of black iron blades hanging on the arm.

The palms of the giant arms are like bird claws, sharp as barbs.

This is exactly the same as the giant arm of the Feathered Demon Lord that Fang Dushu saw in the Magic Forbidden City of the Heart.

"Why do you only have one arm?" Fang Dushu asked, "Where are the other demonic bodies?"

"There is no other demon body!" Tian Xuanqing smiled bitterly:

"It is rumored that in ancient times, there was such a giant arm sealed in the Tongtian River. As long as a monk goes deep into the river, the giant arm will be triggered to appear. No one has ever seen what its complete demon body looks like! Therefore, there are also people who share the same path. It is speculated that this giant arm may not be a flesh and blood body, but a magic circle sealed in Hanoi! But the truth has not been discovered yet! "

Fang Dushu handed the scroll back to Tian Xuanqing and asked puzzledly: "Whether it's the magic array or the magic arm, why does it fix He Zhen? Does it also want to take He Zhen as its own?"

Tian Xuanqing shook his head: "I don't know! In any of the past times when the Holy Gift of Tides broke out, the troll never snatched the river treasure because it could not shake the power of the tide, but I don't know what happened this time. It It actually stabilized He Zhen from the tide!"

Fang Dushu asked casually: "When was the last time the troll showed up?"

Tian Xuanqing said: "According to the classics circulated within the alliance, it has not been seen for thousands of years, but monks in the alliance rarely enter the river, so it is normal not to encounter it! The monks of Jiuyuan Sect and Xiaoyao Palace prefer to enter the river, maybe I have been exposed to it recently, so I can’t say for sure!”

Even if the Taiping League monks enter the river less often, the gap between them and the Jiuyuan Sect Xiaoyao Palace will not be particularly big. After all, we have the same number of monks, and they jointly guard the Tongtian River. Whenever the Jiuyuan Sect and Xiaoyao Palace enter the river, they can salvage treasures. , the Taiping League cannot remain indifferent.

Fang Dushu guessed: "If it has not appeared for thousands of years, the troll must have fallen. Maybe today's incident has nothing to do with it!"

Master Lu Liang on the side suddenly interjected: "There is another possibility. Instead of falling, the troll is relying on his long sleep to accumulate strength. At this moment, when he suddenly wakes up, his magic power has greatly increased. Only then can he shake the power of the tide!"

This inference made Tian Xuanqing feel frightened for no reason. If the troll's magical power increased greatly, would it rush out of the Tongtian River?

Fang Dushu was peaceful and calm. He was not a Kun-Lai Island monk. Even if the trolls really broke out from Hanoi, the Jiuyuan Sect, Xiaoyao Palace and the Taiping Alliance would bear the brunt and would not endanger him.

But Ha Zhen may be difficult to salvage again.

The Holy Gift of Tides only lasted for twenty days, and there was still at least half a month of tidal period left. If the troll blocked the river, no more river treasures would be thrown out.

The three of them fell into silence for a short while while chatting.

Mrs. Zhu just finished her treatment. She took out three treasures in one breath and showed them to Fang Dushu: "Master Fang Qing, this is half a bottle of Teng Yuan Dew, half a plant of Black Flame Algae, and a spring well. I am willing to give them all away." I’ll give it to you, but I hope you can sneak into the river and help me fish out the Burnt Dragon Beard.”

She made the remuneration and requirements clear and clear.

Fang Dushu did not refuse.

He glanced at the spring well. From the appearance, the spring well was somewhat similar to the wellhead in the secular world, but it was dark red in color, and there was no water source at the bottom of the well. It was completely dry.

He remembered that Tian Xuanqing once introduced that Mrs. Zhu’s Taoist monk Beng Xiu Zhu Ming was gifted with the ability to sense divine water and divine dew. He once found a divine spring of rebirth in Tongtian River. The divine spring of rebirth circulating in the Taiping League came from this divine spring. Collect it.

The divine spring that Tian Xuanqing talked about should be the spring well in front of you.

Fang Dushu was very interested and asked Mrs. Zhu: "What kind of spiritual thing is this spring well?"

Mrs. Zhu replied: "This is the divine spring of rebirth. It can continuously produce divine water, but the fertilization time is relatively slow, and it must be placed in a special environment to promote the birth of water."

Fang Dushu was a little disappointed. The conditions for pregnancy would probably be very harsh: "How long does it take specifically, and what kind of environment should it be placed in?"

Mrs. Zhu told the truth: "It takes about five hundred years to conceive a bottle of divine water. It must be placed in an environment with sufficient vitality to achieve such progress!"

After Tian Xuanqing and Master Lu Liang heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. They both felt that the efficiency of this sacred spring was too low. If the monks cultivated the true spirit by themselves, and if the opportunity was good, they could hope to succeed in five hundred years.

The two of them asked garrulously: "Mrs. Zhu, shouldn't this spring well have to swallow vitality to be able to conceive the divine water?"

Mrs. Zhu's face became embarrassed: "I once used the True Essence Gold for sealing, and on average one would be consumed in one or two years!"

Because the cost was too high, she had actually never used this spring well. When her Taoist companion found this spring well, the well was full of divine water. The bottle of divine water she traded to Fang Dushu was the remaining amount in the well.

Tian Xuanqing chuckled and said: "One or two years of consumption of one piece of true gold, five hundred years is two to three hundred pieces, the cost is not low!"

But Madam Zhu didn't just give away a reborn spring well, but also half a Tengyuan Dew and half a black algae. She was actually very sincere and the reward was relatively honest.

Fang Dushu pointed to the black algae again: "A few days ago, Madam went to find colleagues in the Taiping Alliance to check this spiritual algae. Is it contaminated with toxins?"

Mrs. Zhu shook her head: "The inspection result of that colleague is negative, but I will not say anything. If Master Fang Qing is willing to take this half of the spiritual algae, it is best to find an expert in poisoning to check it again!"

Fang Dushu pondered for a moment and expressed his position: "If Madam gives me the Three Treasures first, I can go into the river and try it. If I can't take out the Scorched Dragon Beard, then I will return the Three Treasures to you, Madam!"

"no problem!"

Mrs. Zhu thought that Tian Xuanqing and Lu Liangshi were by her side, and she was not afraid that Fang Dushu would rely on the treasure and not return it. Her only worry was that Fang Dushu fell into the river, causing her treasure to be lost as well.

She happily gave away the three treasures.

After collecting the treasure, Fang Dushu did not delay, and immediately flew away from the clam shell array and plunged into the river.

Madam Zhu was unsure, so she turned to ask Baihua Witch: "Miss Baihua, how confident do you think Master Fang Qing is?"

The Witch of Flowers smiled slightly: "Madam, don't worry, since he has accepted your reward, he will definitely fish out the Scorched Dragon Beard for you!"
