Mortal Bones

"Don't come close to me. Once you are contaminated by my breath, you will be hunted by them!"

It explained to Xu Taiping in a weak tone.

"them?"

Xu Taiping retreated into the courtyard with some vigilance.

"In the end what happened?"

he asked again.

"Xifeng Pavilion... teamed up with the Peacock King to slaughter all my bald eagle clan. I don't know whether my mother is alive or dead, but I was the only one who escaped."

Bai Yu tried hard to adjust his breathing, and then continued:

"Taiping, I came here to ask you to tell my father about this. In order to occupy Fenglai Valley, the blessed land of my bald eagle, the Peacock King teamed up with Xifeng Pavilion Liusong Mountain to set up an ambush, trapped my mother, and then slaughtered the bald eagle. The Eagle Clan, please let it... let it take revenge on me, if... if it... it is still alive."

After saying this, its head hung down feebly.

When Xu Taiping heard this, most of the confusion in his heart was immediately reduced.

During this period of time, he often heard Bai Yu complain about the grievances between the Bald Eagle and the Peacock King clan, but he did not expect that Xifeng Pavilion would eventually join forces with the Peacock King clan.

"Xu Taiping, don't come to save me, don't interfere, you are no match for the Peacock King..."

At this time, Bai Yu, whose head was still lying on the mud, forced himself to remind Xu Taiping again.

To save or not to save?

Xu Taiping was caught in a decision.

And just when he was hesitating, a bird suddenly chirped from the horizon. Even with the heavy rain at the moment, the sound still resounded through the mountains and forests.

"Taiping, you can put Bai Yu into my green gourd."

Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping at this time.

"good."

Xu Taiping's eyes lit up, he nodded immediately, and then took off the green gourd from his waist.

Unless Fairy Lingyue reminded him, he would have forgotten this.

After more than two years of warming, the space inside the green gourd has become as large as half a yard, and it also has the ability to suck some monsters that are not too strong or unable to resist into the gourd.

"receive!"

Fairy Lingyue recited a mantra, and then a suction force emerged from the green gourd, sucking Bai Yu in.

"Don't worry, the green gourd can block the energy of heaven and earth. Bai Yu is safe inside."

After Fairy Lingyue said this, she also got into the gourd.

"The peacock is coming soon, so be careful."

Fairy Lingyue in the gourd added another sentence.

Xu Taiping nodded, then stood up and returned to the courtyard, closing the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

Not long after, there was a knock on the courtyard door of Qingzhu Residence.

There is no doubt that the person coming from outside the courtyard at this time should be the Peacock King.

"who?"

In the heavy rain, Xu Taiping didn't rush to open the door, but asked.

It was a capital offense for a spiritual bird to break into a monk's residence, so he was not afraid that the Peacock King would break in.

"Fellow Taoist inside, I am the Peacock King of Yunling. I am here to capture the demon traitor. Do you dare to ask if you have seen a seriously injured and dying bald eagle?"

The Mauryan King outside the door asked very politely.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping took a step forward and opened the courtyard door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a green peacock that was much taller than the courtyard door standing at the entrance of the courtyard, staring at him with a pair of cold eyes.

But compared to its cold eyes and tall body, what really frightened Xu Taiping was the pressure it carried, which was even more violent than the pouring rain outside the courtyard.

Just standing in front of it, the whole person felt as if he was being pressed down by a stone weighing several thousand kilograms, which was very uncomfortable.

"A bald eagle did fall from the sky while passing by here just now."

After secretly adjusting his breathing, Xu Taiping calmly pointed to the dent in front of the yard that Bai Yu had just made, and then continued: "But it soon got up and flew away."

No one else knew about his acquaintance with Bai Yu, so he was not afraid of the green peacock seeing through his lies.

The green peacock looked at Xu Taiping quietly, then looked around again, took a sniff, and seemed to confirm that there was indeed no smell of bald eagles in the courtyard, then nodded and said:

"Sorry for bothering you."

After confirming that there was no smell of bald eagle in the courtyard, it seemed not to waste time. It flapped its wings and soared into the sky in the heavy rain.

When the Peacock King soared into the sky, Xu Taiping took a closer look and found that the peacock, like a human monk, could deflect raindrops by emitting spiritual power from its body.

"Sister Lingyue, a spiritual bird that can use spiritual power like a monk, what is its approximate level of cultivation?"

Looking at the figure of the Peacock King flying away, he asked Fairy Lingyue in his heart.

"This requires talent. Even a demon king-level spirit bird may not be able to do this. Bai Hong, who has a good relationship with you, may be able to do it."

Fairy Lingyue's tone was unusually serious.

"You'd better not mess with this peacock unless necessary."

She then added.

"I know."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"By the way, Sister Lingyue, how is Bai Yu's injury?"

he then asked.

"I need a glass of gentian."

Fairy Lingyue said.

"good."

Xu Taiping nodded without hesitation.

He actually hasn't drank much in the past two years, and can only drink about three pots a year. According to Fairy Lingyue, the time when gentian wine is really needed is the Tongxuan stage, so he still has a lot left.

Of course, even if it was just a pot, he would take it out without hesitation, after all, Bai Yu was his only friend on this mountain.

…

The next day.

In the backyard of Qingzhuju.

“I’m still alive?”

Bai Yu in the yard looked at Xu Taiping who was boxing in the yard with curiosity.

“Xu Taiping, did you do something?”

It then asked.

“Can your body be smaller?”

After Xu Taiping finished a set of Qingniu Fist, he put away his boxing stance and turned to look at Bai Yu in the yard.

Bai Yu nodded, and then a gray light flashed around him, and his body suddenly became the size of a sparrow.

“You brought me back, but the Peacock King didn’t notice it?”

Bai Yu jumped onto the stone table and continued to ask.

“I have a gourd that can hold spirit beasts.”

Xu Taiping patted the green gourd on his waist.

He would naturally not tell Bai Yu about the existence of Sister Lingyue, but there was no problem with the gourd, after all, who doesn’t have a few life-saving magic weapons?

"Could it be a demon-refining pot?"

Bai Yu's eyes were startled, and he took a few steps back cautiously.

In fact, what it said was not wrong, because according to Fairy Lingyue, this green gourd can contain spirit beasts and birds at the current stage, so it is no problem to say that it is a demon-refining pot.

But the difference is that the demon-refining pot is used to refine demons, while this green gourd can raise demons. The two are fundamentally different.

"If this is a demon-refining pot, you would have turned into a pool of blood in the gourd long ago, so how could you still chirp like now?"

Xu Taiping shook his head.

"That's true..."

Bai Yu nodded, and his expression relaxed all of a sudden.

"This is my secret, don't tell others."

Xu Taiping reminded Bai Yu again at this time.

"Am I, Bai Yu, that kind of person?"

Bai Yu regained his rebellious demeanor at this time.

"Chirp!"

Just then, the little monkey Ping An brought a large plate of meat out of the kitchen and jumped onto the table happily.

"Bai Yu, you eat, I cooked it."

The little monkey picked up a piece of steak and pushed the plate towards Bai Yu while eating.

It has become very familiar with Bai Yu in the past two years, and because they are both spiritual beasts, they are very close to each other.

"Yeah."

Although Bai Yu was not in the mood to eat, he didn't want to refuse the little monkey's kindness, so he still took a piece and swallowed it.

"Bai Yu, what happened in Fenglai Valley last night?"

Xu Taiping also sat down at the table at this time, and after reaching out to take a piece of meat, he asked Bai Yu curiously.

Although he saved Bai Yu, he still had to figure out the current situation, otherwise it would be bad for both him and Bai Yu.
