Chapter 736: A single leaf tells the coming of autumn

"However, Senior Brother Shi..." Feng Qitong thought for a moment and then asked, "Since Demon King Boqi is trying every possible means to catch us all, why did he appear in Taisu City in person to kill the short demons and the Xuanding Sect? As for Zheng Jiao, wouldn’t he be exposing himself by doing this?”

"Let me think about this." Shi Feng was asked.

He walked around the hall twice, frowning and thinking.

After a cup of tea, Shi Feng stopped and said, "I thought of two explanations."

"Oh, there are actually two reasons. I'm all ears."

"First, this time the illusion opens and Demon King Boqi walks out of the Liyuan. Someone has known about this for a long time. Demon King Boqi feels that since someone knows, it is not a secret and there is no need to hide it..."

Feng Qitong interrupted, "Who knows?"

"Xuanding Sect."

"Why?"

"Because 800 years ago, the Xuanding Sect encountered the incident of Birch coming out of seclusion. They have been concealing this matter. It is very likely that the Xuanding Sect has calculated that this time the illusion is opened, Birch will come out and wreak havoc again. . Otherwise, why did the Xuanding Sect choose to activate the Jiuyao Star Palace Formation this time?”

Feng Qitong's eyes flashed, "It makes sense! It turns out that the Xuanding Sect opened the grand formation not only to deal with us, but also to deal with the Demon King Boqi. What's the second reason?"

"The second reason is that although Birch launched the beast tide, the effect was not fully achieved, and not all the monks were driven to the Peacock Palace.

For example, from our side, more than 20 people came to Taisu City because they were following the Purple Shadow Marten.

In the underground palace, the beast tide could not play a role, so Birch took action himself. "

"Brother Shi, you mean that Demon King Boqi killed the short demon and Zheng Jiao to create terror and force us to flee to the Peacock Palace?"

"Otherwise? Senior Sister Feng, if you think about it carefully, with the power of the fourth-level Demon King Demon Ancestor, if we pursue him with all our strength, at least half of the monks in the underground palace of Taisu City will be killed or injured.

But in fact, only two people died.

Especially when we were taking turns to break the restrictions on the Sword Testing Stone, Demon King Birch did not launch an attack because he knew that it was the Peacock Palace that we were going to from the Sword Testing Stone secret passage! Since we are going to throw ourselves into a trap, why should he take action? "

Feng Qitong felt her heart sinking, "So, Demon King Boqi must have set a very powerful trap in the Peacock Palace to catch us all?"

"Yeah! Nine times out of ten, that's the case."

Feng Qitong reached out and touched the mural, "Brother Shi, you can deduce so many things from a mural. One leaf can tell the autumn. It's such a wonderful calculation.

It was not without reason that you were only in the early stages of foundation building, but you were able to walk out of the Qingdi Valley safely. "

"Senior Sister Feng, you are praising me again." Shi Feng said and sighed, "Actually, Demon King Boqi is not well-intentioned. This is not difficult to guess. After all, Demon King Boqi not only likes to suck human blood, but also likes to devour spiritual consciousness. These middle and late Jindan monks are undoubtedly the delicacies he has coveted for a long time.

Baili Pingye, Huo Shi, Fu Chuanxin, Tie Zhan and others are all outstanding people. As long as they think about it a little deeper, they can understand the evil plan of the Demon King.

It's just that the prejudices of the three clans are too deep. Even if they enter the Peacock Palace, they are still restricting each other. If this is the case, they will inevitably be defeated by Birch in the end. "

Feng Qitong asked, "Brother Shi, can you deduce what trap the Demon King has set in the Peacock Palace?"

Shi Feng shook his head with a wry smile, "The Peacock Palace occupies a huge area with rolling mountains and hundreds of towers, so ambushes can be set up everywhere.

Senior Sister Feng, if I could even figure this out, I would really be a god. "

Feng Qitong turned around and looked around. The front and back doors of the ancestral hall were both open, and the mountain wind passed through the hall, making it sound like a ghost weeping.

Under the light of the fire sparrow, the interior of the palace was bright, but the mountains outside the palace were as dark as ink and as deep as the sea.

Feng Qitong felt a chill coming over him and sighed softly, "Brother Shi, it would be great if we could leave the illusion immediately!"

...

As he spoke, the east gradually became brighter without realizing it.

Shi Feng walked to the threshold. The Xiaoluojia Mountain at this moment was completely different from the night.

Looking at the mountains in the distance, they are lush and green, the morning light is slightly dew, a thin layer of gauze is wrapped between the mountain ridges, and the birds are chirping from time to time, just like a fairyland.

However, Shi Feng had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. He took out the talisman again and contacted Xiao Hulu and Dongqiu Yue.

After a while, Feng Qitong looked at his face and asked, "Still can't contact him." Shi Feng nodded.

"We tracked him all the way, but we still haven't heard from him. It's our utmost kindness. Brother Shi, let's think about what to do next."

"I don't know where to go next. However, this ancestral hall is located at the junction of the inner and outer mountains. It is empty and unsafe. Staying here is definitely not an option."

"Then how about we continue walking towards the inner mountain?"

"We can only take one step at a time."

The two of them decided to leave the ancestral hall and continue towards the inner mountains.

Worried about a sudden attack by Boqi on the way, both of them had their consciousness fully opened, and Feng Qitong still had a dharma plate in his sleeves.

The two of them didn't walk very fast, and they didn't cross a ridge until noon.

There is a stone tablet standing in front of it, with the four characters "Xiao Luojia Mountain" written on it.

Feng Qitong said, "After passing this boundary monument, there is the inner mountain ahead."

Shi Feng nodded and continued moving forward.

Both of them were Jindan monks. Although they did not fly across the sky, their weapons flew three feet above the ground.

Unexpectedly, just after crossing the boundary marker, there was a "dang" sound, and the magic weapon under his feet was pulled down by a strong force.

The two of them quickly took a leap to steady their bodies.

"Is it air restriction?" Shi Feng said "Eh".

"Hmm. I forgot that flying weapons is prohibited within the Xiaoluojia Mountain. After all, with Master Peacock's prestige, no one who came to the mountain to pay homage and listen to scriptures would dare to fly in the air!"

Shi Feng tried jumping a few times, but his forward and backward movements were not affected, but if he tried to fly through the air, he would be torn off immediately.

He sighed, "If this is the case, it will be even worse."

Demon King Birch is a snow tapir demon whose speed and agility exceed those of humans. If a human monk cannot fly with a weapon, he will be even more at a disadvantage when facing Birch.

Sighing is a sigh, but we can't just stop halfway. The two continued to move forward and climbed over another mountain ridge.

It was past noon, and two forked roads, one on the left and one on the right, suddenly appeared in front of them. The two roads looked almost the same, both were one foot wide, and were neatly paved with bluestone strips. They were winding and leading to an unknown place deep in the mountain.

The two stopped, took out the jade slips of the map, and compared them.

After a long while, Feng Qitong smiled bitterly and said, "This map is too simple. It only shows the directions of major buildings such as the Lecture Platform, Tianwang Hall, Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, and Liyuan. As for these small roads, there is no explanation at all."

Shi Feng said, "It would be great if Xiao Gourd was here. He should have a more detailed map with him."

Feng Qitong looked around, "According to the distance from the boundary monument to here, the front should be leading to the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas."

"The two roads on the left and right cannot both lead to the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, right?" As Shi Feng spoke, he suddenly squatted down and looked at the two stone roads. After a long time, he stood up.

"How's it going? What did Brother Shi find?"

"The road on the right should lead to the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas."

"Oh," Feng Qitong also squatted down and took a look, "Did Brother Shi find any traces?"
