Chapter 158 The Sloppy Taoist in the Peacock Palace

"Qingtong Ancient Tree?"

Lu Chen was thoughtful and muttered:

"And it's a third-level tree. If it wants to grow so tall, it must be at least a thousand-year-old tree. It probably has an owner."

"Brother, shall we go and take a look?"

Meng Yao sits on Huniu's back, wanting to go over and take a look.

"Go!"

"Okay, okay~"

Lu Chen nodded. He also wanted to find someone to inquire about Fang Yuqi. Searching aimlessly like this was not an option. Meng Yao clapped her hands and cheered, riding Huniu and running towards the ancient bronze tree first.

"So high~"

"yes!"

Meng Yao rode Huniu to the ancient tree. He raised his little head and looked around. He was extremely shocked. Lu Chen put away the purple jade flying boat and sighed. From a distance, he thought it was very tall. When he got closer, he realized how tall it was.

Towering into the sky.

Towering and majestic.

I don't know how high it is, but I can't measure its thickness. It's not much inferior to Tianmu Mountain of Tianmu Sect.

"What an ancient bronze tree!"

"Hillbilly!"

Just as Lu Chen sighed in admiration, a sneer suddenly came from a high place. He looked up and saw a tree hole a hundred meters away from the ancient Qingtong tree. At the entrance of the hole stood a strange one-legged bird with black feathers. , with a gong hanging around his neck.

[Name]: Monster

[Information]: First-order bird demon

"What are you looking at? You ignorant country bumpkin. If my king hadn't come back soon and kept a tight control, I might as well have swallowed you up in one bite."

"Dangdangdang~~"

When the one-legged harpy saw Lu Chen looking around, he scolded him again. The gong around his neck kept ringing. Meng Yao rode Huniu close to Lu Chen and said angrily:

"Brother, the birds are so fierce~"

"Hmph hum~"

"Hmph hum~"

Before Lu Chen could say anything, another sound came from behind, like drums and thunder. He turned around and saw a wild boar as tall as a person coming ashore from the Akutagawa River.

Trembling and towering.

The fangs are dense.

A body of fat may weigh no less than three thousand kilograms, especially the wild boar, which is covered with thick mud, like a thick armor.

[Name]: Spirit Beast

[Information]: Second-level Touring Mountain Drum

"General You, drive this country bumpkin into the river quickly."

The one-legged harpy pointed at Lu Chen and started shouting again. Following the command of the tour guide, it slammed its head into Lu Chen's back with a fierce momentum. Before Huniu could show off her power, Lu Chen frowned and flipped his hands. The black iron rod appeared in his hand, and he smashed it against the drum.

"Boom!"

"Ouch~~"

The black iron rod stretched, and with a roar, the mountain drum howled and flew upside down. With a "bang", it hit the river, causing a big wave. Lu Chen was about to teach the harpy demon a lesson.

Suddenly I looked up and saw a beautiful peacock circling the ancient tree, flying down from the clouds, and landed on a branch in the blink of an eye. With a flash of feathers, it transformed into a woman wearing a colorful dress.

Bright and moving.

The eyebrows are picturesque.

Their eyes met, speechless for a moment.

"Big. King!!"

The one-legged harpy almost died of fright, and hurriedly crawled down and lay down at the entrance of the cave.

"roll!"

"Yes Yes!"

The woman gave a light scolding, and the one-legged harpy hurriedly got into the tree hole as if it had been granted amnesty. It kept wiping the cold sweat from its head and did not dare to come out again.

"Sister Xiaohua??"

Meng Yao on the side rubbed her big eyes, feeling surprised and happy. Lu Chen had a complicated look on his face. He originally just wanted to get some news, but he didn't expect to meet his old friend.

"Is this your territory?"

"Hmm~~"

"The Flower House"

"It's just a place to relax. This is my foundation."

"All right!"

Lu Chen was a little speechless. This girl had hidden so much. They had been together for ten years and yet she had not revealed a single thing. She was truly a monster. Thinking of this, he felt an inexplicable fire in his heart.

"follow me."

The Peacock Empress didn't say much, and her colorful dress whirled around, transforming into a beautiful peacock spreading her wings and flying high into the sky. Lu Chen quickly followed with Meng Yao, taking the opportunity to look around the ancient Qingtong tree.

I found that on this ancient bronze tree, there were countless wooden houses in the tree holes, and the big and small demons were even more densely packed, like a demon kingdom.

soon.

The two of them flew hundreds of feet high and arrived at the top of the ancient Qingtong tree. They saw a colorful palace standing on the canopy of the tree in the sea of ​​clouds and mist. It looked very mysterious. The three words "Peacock Palace" were engraved on the door of the palace, and there were other buildings around it. The guardianship of the transformed demons was actually very strict.

"Meet the king!!!"

The Peacock Queen fell down, shouting loudly.

"So beautiful~"

Meng Yao was so happy that he looked around with his big eyes, dizzy, and asked:

"Sister Xiaohua, is this your home?"

"Hmm~~"

The Peacock Empress nodded, waved her hand to summon a green-clothed banshee, and ordered:

"Take her on a nice tour."

"yes!"

The banshee responded respectfully and took the impatient Meng Yao around for a tour. Lu Chen and the Peacock Empress looked at each other and flew into the Peacock Palace together.

"Greetings, empress!!!"

The Peacock Empress sat down on the colorful throne. In the solemn palace, one by one the female attendants kowtowed, making the Peacock Empress look even more majestic, like a human queen.

"Back off!"

"yes!"

The Peacock Queen gave an order, and hundreds of female attendants exited the palace. There were only two people left in the entire hall. The Peacock Queen stood high up, with her pair of starry eyes dazzling. Lu Chen climbed up step by step until he came to the colorful throne, and he became more and more angry. rise.

Their eyes met, and there was lightning and thunder!

"Tear~~"

"Don't go. Go to the back bedroom."

"No, right here!"

Lu Chen's eyes were firm, and he stretched out his hand to lift the Peacock Queen's beautiful chin:

"Come and bear my wrath!!"

"Woooooo~~~"

“Good pigeon~~~”

"Peacock, how can this be your territory?"

"Why. Why can't it be possible? Lu Shanjun has the Mighty Tiger Mountain, Wujiao has the Underwater Green Scale Cave, and I am also a great demon. Do I have to live in that small flower house, so I can't have my own Peacock Palace?"

The Peacock Empress had not recovered yet, she was leaning on the colorful throne, with the blush on her face still lingering, Lu Chen said:

"Yes, of course I can, but it's so hard for you to hide it from me."

"Snapped!"

The Peacock Empress opened Lu Chen's evil hand and rolled her eyes:

"Why is it bitter? Don't you also have many secrets? Moreover, I have more than one flower house, there are many in the surrounding cities."

"All right!"

Lu Chen no longer hesitated and asked again:

"Did you get your precious fan back?"

"without!"

The Peacock Empress shook her head and explained: "I have sent my men around to inquire. The two splashers can't go far. It won't be long before there is news."

"Too!"

Lu Chen didn't think too much, his expression moved, and he said:

"You have many men, please help me find out the whereabouts of these two people."

"Your lover?"

"So be it."

Lu Chen smiled bitterly, and immediately told the situation about Fang Yuqi and Tong Xin. After hearing this, the Peacock Empress said resentfully:

"I've never seen you care so much about me?"

"."

Looking at the rare expression on the face of the Peacock Empress, Lu Chen felt happy in his heart. No matter how big a monster you are, you still can't escape my grasp, and my hard work is not in vain. He tightened his grip on Peacock. The empress’s slender hands comforted her:

"If you are willing to let go of this Peacock Palace, I will treat you a hundred times better than them."

"really?"

"nature!"

"Forget it!"

The Peacock Empress' eyes brightened, and after weighing it, she finally shook her head and explained: "This Peacock Palace is the foundation for me to be promoted to the Demon King. There is also a third-level wood attribute spiritual vein below. If I abandon it and follow you, I'm afraid it will There is no possibility of becoming the Demon King anymore. When I am promoted to the Demon King, I will burn this ancient Qingtong tree in one go and fly to your side to serve you."

"As you wish."

After all, the cultivation of humans and monsters is different, and Lu Chen couldn't give any advice, so he warned:

"Remember to help me find out about them."

"take note of it."

The Peacock Empress nodded seriously, turned her eyes, and chuckled:

"Since you asked me to help, you also need to do me a favor."

"Snapped!"

"Woo~~"

Lu Chen slapped her hard, which made the Peacock Lady intoxicated for a while. He muttered: "You are a master who doesn't want to suffer. Please tell me what happened, and you still need my help."

The Peacock Empress said:

"During my absence for ten years, a group of people occupied my Peacock Palace. Not only did they dominate me, they also killed many of my second-level demon subordinates. With the help of their demon elixirs, I refined many precious medicines. I became Master Tongxuan in one fell swoop, and I will fight with him after I come back. Even though my cultivation level is higher than the opponent’s, it’s a pity that the Qianyuan Lihuo Fan is not in my hand.”

"What happened next?"

"I used the demon pill and put on a desperate posture to force the opponent back. Seeing that my magical power was not strong, the Taoist was not willing to retreat. Instead, he settled in a deep stream thirty miles away to the west. It seemed that he was in a deep stream. Whatever magic weapon you are refining, you must be planning to counterattack. I originally wanted to wait until I got the treasure fan back before arguing with the other party. Since you are here, then help me."

Others may not know what Lu Chen is capable of, but she has known Lu Chen day and night for ten years, so she knows how powerful he is.

"rest assured!"

Lu Chen comforted the other party and gritted his teeth and said:

"He dares to take advantage of you. I won't spare him any mercy. Please tell me what this man is capable of."

"Everything else is fine. That Taoist has an extremely powerful magical power. With a wave of his sleeves, two giant snakes are born. They open their teeth and glare. They are very difficult to deal with. Even if their heads are smashed, they can recover in an instant. If it weren't for my cultivation, If you are more victorious, you will definitely be no match for this person."

"Where's the great magical power you've been told [so close to the end of the world]?"

"I haven't learned yet."

After several years of hard training, I am so far away that I have not yet started. It must be the qualifications of the Peacock Queen. After all, to be able to become a great demon, there is no shortcoming in either qualifications or understanding, but it is difficult to cultivate great supernatural powers.

Except for Lu Chen, this is the case for anyone who practices cultivation.

"All right!"

Lu Mo sighed silently and said:

"In that case, I'll go meet him for a while tomorrow."

"Then today"

"Today I want to visit your palace."

After saying that, Lu Chen laughed loudly, picked up the Peacock Queen by the waist, jumped off the throne, and walked towards the palace behind.

"Hmm~~~"

"Good Pigeon, please spare me this time~~~"

Early the next morning, Lu Chen rode the Peacock Queen and flew westward, far away from the Akutagawa River. They flew thirty miles west. The Peacock Queen turned into a human body and looked down side by side with Lu Chen. They saw a tower over a hundred meters high below. The hill rises, and at the foot of the hill there is a crypt.

There is a winding stream flowing from further away, dripping into the cave, forming a water stream.

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked:

"People below?"

"right!"

The Peacock Empress nodded and landed outside the stream with Lu Chen. Just as Lu Chen was about to look in, he saw a thick smoke pouring out of it. He was startled and quickly pulled the peacock away.

Wait for the smoke to clear.

He stepped forward again.

With mana pouring into his eyes, Lu Chen looked towards the water stream, only to find that the water stream was so deep that he couldn't even see the bottom at a glance. He frowned and said, "Have you been here before?"

"No!"

The Peacock Empress shook her head and explained:

"This person is not weak, and I don't dare to approach him easily. He was always monitored by the little demon before."

"Call that little demon."

"good!"

The Peacock Queen waved to the hill in front of her, but she didn't see how to cast the spell. She saw a bird flying out of the low mountain, hovering and landing on the Peacock Queen's outstretched right arm without making the slightest sound.

"Greetings, empress!!"

This is a water bird with a shrill voice. It looks like a wild duck. You can't tell the difference between male and female. It's about the size of a baby's fist and has blue feathers. The strangest thing is that it has two pairs of eyes, two in front and two in back. You don't need to move your head. You can see clearly the surrounding scenery.

"Um!"

The Peacock Empress nodded slightly and introduced:

"Its name is [Four-Eyed Youfu (fú)]. Although it is not a spiritual beast, it is extremely rare. Even if it is the first level, it is one of the most capable men under my command. Its four eyes can take turns to rest and be monitored by it. It is difficult for the target to escape sight all day long, and it has the ability to hide itself. If the Taoist hadn't been a real person in the Tongxuan Realm, and I had specifically warned him, he would have gone deep into the water stream to monitor it."

"It is my honor to serve you!"

The four-eyed Youfu bowed slightly, but he looked quite presentable.

[Name]: Monster

[Information]: First-order four-eyed ghost demon

"good!"

Lu Chen looked approvingly. As far as he knew, the rarer the beast, the harder it is for it to become a demon. If it is a spiritual beast, there is basically no possibility of becoming a demon. On the contrary, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, because they are often in contact with people, will become more demonic as they age. , many become demons. This little demon is named Four-Eyed Youfu, and he is indeed blessed with a unique gift.

If left to its own devices.

It is impossible to become a demon.

Mostly because of the personal inspiration of the Peacock Empress, it is precisely because of this that every great demon can gather so many demons around him. This is the great demon's confidence.

Lu Chen reached out and took a breath from the opponent, put it into the palm of his left hand, and ordered:

"You go and explore the road first."

After hearing this, Four-Eyed Youfu looked at Peacock Empress. Peacock Empress nodded and warned:

"Be careful."

"yes!"

The Four-Eyed Youfu gently raised its forehead, spread its wings and flew up, then plunged into the stream next to it, disappearing, and followed the stream quietly flowing to the stream below.

"A smart one."

Lu Mo nodded silently, took the opportunity to use the Universe Reflection Technique, spread out his left hand, the palm of his hand flickered, and a picture gradually appeared. He and the Peacock Empress watched together.

"There is no formation."

"Very deep."

"Eh~~"

Lu Chen said "Hey" softly, and saw the four-eyed Youfu staggering along the flowing water into a cold pool. In the cold pool, there were two giant snakes playing.

The whole body is crystal clear.

Like jasper.

On the side of the cold pool, there is a stone platform. On the stone platform, a slovenly Taoist priest is sitting cross-legged. The other person has his eyes closed and keeps pinching the magic formula. There is a large square in front of him. The iron furnace roared continuously, the furnace lid rose from time to time, and black smoke spewed out.

"Weapon refining?"

Lu Chen didn't dare to look any further, waved his hand to dismiss the image, looked at each other with the Peacock Empress, and jumped into the quiet stream together.
