Chapter 188 Fellow Daoist, Calm Down!
"Dad, don't worry first!"
Liu Zimo took a deep breath and said steadily to his father on the other end of the phone:
"Tell me, what happened? Who kidnapped my little brother?"
In Luozhou City, there are two holy Masters Zhiyuan and Zhang Zhenren sitting in the Xian Sheng Realm.
In the blessed land of spiritual power outside the city, there is also the guardian of Jiao Linglong, who has a physical body that can communicate with gods and is proficient in various illusion formations.
Logically speaking, no one should be able to kidnap his little brother under their noses.
Moreover, with Liu Zihao's nerdy temperament, he would never leave the blessed land of spiritual energy at all. Even if he did, Jiao Linglong would not let him go.
But now, the father said that his little brother had been kidnapped and his whereabouts and life and death were unknown. How could Liu Zimo not be frightened and suspicious?
"The evil ones are here!"
Liu Yi's voice came again:
"Your brother seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, suddenly he was nowhere to be seen!"
"Feihong girl and Xiaoxiao girl were practicing meditation in the cave at that time, and they didn't feel any abnormality at all!"
"Oh, by the way, there seems to be something wrong with your spiritual pet, the little dragon. It has been sleeping and has no response no matter how you call it!"
"Son, something must have happened to your brother!"
"Even your brother-in-law said that the reason why the other party kidnapped your little brother must be related to his identity as an alchemist, because the alchemy furnace your little brother uses most often also disappeared!"
"Also, it seems that the spring water in the spiritual spring has also been taken away, not a drop is left..."
Liu Yi eagerly recounted all the information he knew.
Liu Zimo listened and frowned tightly.
My brother-in-law is an intellectual evolver with extraordinary intelligence and keen spiritual awareness.
Since even he has concluded that the other party is kidnapping rather than killing, he is inseparable, which means that the younger brother should be safe for now.
But what Liu Zimo didn't expect was that Jiao Linglong, who possessed the magical power of [Spirit Sense], would also fall into the opponent's plot.
Being able to make an ancient spiritual beast whose physical body can communicate with the spirit and also awaken the [Spirit Awareness] magical power, fell into a deep sleep without knowing it, which shows that the strength of the person who took action must be higher than that of Jiao Linglong.
However, it was indeed surprising that the other party did not take advantage of Jiao Linglong's deep sleep to kill her.
Otherwise, not only Jiao Linglong, but also Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao, who were practicing by the spiritual spring, might also have an accident.
From this, it can be seen that the other party is not a vicious person.
If the younger brother falls into the opponent's hands, there won't be any danger for a moment.
However, even so, it is definitely not a reason for the other party to kidnap his brother wantonly!
"Okay, I understand, dad, stay at home and wait for me to come back!"
"Before I go back, you must not leave the city without permission!"
Liu Zimo calmly gave instructions on the phone and then hung up.
Afterwards, with a gloomy expression, he greeted Gui Suishou and Hu in front of him vigorously:
"Let's go, let's go back to Luozhou immediately!"
"Yes, Master!"
Turtle Jishou responded with a habitual respectful response, and his figure suddenly expanded tenfold, carrying his master on his back, and soared into the air.
Seeing this, Hu Dali quickly ducked to follow and landed at Liu Zimo's feet obediently, not daring to say anything.
Although it also wanted to inquire about Jiao Linglong's specific situation, it just didn't dare to speak when it saw the cold and murderous look on its master's face.
Even though the turtle lives a long life, it is the same.
Knowing that his master was in a bad mood and that he was eager to return home, Old Turtle no longer dared to be as leisurely and lazy as when he came here.
It exploded with all its strength from the beginning, and even burned part of the blood essence to fuel the combustion, increasing the flying speed to the extreme!
In only about three hours, they crossed half of the world and flew all the way back to the sky above Luozhou City.
brush!
Flash back to the underground cave.
Liu Yi, Zhao Hongzhang, Xiao Feihong, Lou Xiaoxiao, as well as Yang Sisi and Lou Yuchen who had received the news, all gathered in the courtyard.
Everyone's face was full of sadness and worry.
"Xiao Mo!"
"You are finally back!"
Seeing his eldest son coming back, Liu Yi rushed over excitedly, took Liu Zimo's hand and said in a loud voice:
"Son, you are the most capable and strongest in our family. You must find a way to save your brother and bring him back safely!"
Lao Liu's eye circles were slightly red, and there were still wet tears on his face.
It looked like he had cried before.
The uncle was similar. Although his face remained calm and composed, the redness and tear stains at the corners of his eyes could not be concealed.
Seeing several people gathering at the same time, Liu Zimo said softly:
"Okay, I already have a rough understanding of the specific situation. Just leave the rest to me!"
"Dad, please rest assured, as long as I am here, I will be able to bring my little brother back safely!"
After another word of comfort to his father, Liu Zimo turned his attention to Jiao Linglong, who was still sleeping deeply beside the spiritual spring.
The same goes for Tiger Dali and Guo Shanshou. As soon as they arrived in the secret realm, they appeared next to Jiao Linglong at the same time and checked for abnormalities on Jiao Linglong's body.
Seeing Liu Zimo coming over, the two mini spiritual pets jumped on Liu Zimo's left and right shoulders at the same time, and opened their mouths to report their findings to Liu Zimo.
"Master, Jiao Linglong was indeed plotted and was given the Dragon Butterfly Incense. Within ten days and a half, she would not be able to recover her consciousness on her own!"
"In addition, the Dragon Butterfly Incense is an ancient incense specifically used to target the spirit snake clan. It has completely disappeared as early as the end of the law era."
"Now, if someone can use this kind of incense to deal with Jiao Linglong, they are probably creatures that survived from ancient times!"
Liu Zimo raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Ancient creatures?
No wonder!
None of the creatures that have survived from ancient times to the present is a simple character.
It is not impossible that Jiao Linglong was tricked and my brother was kidnapped and disappeared!
"Can you find the other party's whereabouts?"
Liu Zimo asked Hu Dali and Gui Suishou.
After hearing this, the two pets looked at each other and then looked at Jiao Linglong who was sleeping on the ground.
"Venerable Linglong has spiritual perception and is extremely sensitive to the smell of dragon and butterfly incense.
As long as it can be awakened in advance, it will definitely be able to follow the dragon and butterfly fragrance diffused in the air and find the other party's hiding place!"
Although the dragon and butterfly fragrance is the nemesis of the spirit snake clan, taking a little will make them fall into a silent sleep and intoxicated.
But correspondingly, this is also because the spirit snake clan has an extreme sensitivity to the fragrance of dragon and butterfly incense that other spirit beasts do not have.
Even if there is one ten-thousandth of the smell in the air, the spirit snake clan can easily smell it.
Since the other party has given Jiao Linglong the dragon and butterfly incense here, there must be a fragrance left on the body.
As long as Jiao Linglong wakes up in time, it is completely possible to find the other party's hiding place before the dragon and butterfly fragrance completely dissipates!
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you wake up Jiao Linglong?" Liu Zimo urged.
Hu Dali and Gui Suishou lowered their heads in embarrassment at the same time.
"Master, you don't know." Hu Dali explained softly, "To wake up Venerable Linglong from the incense, you need at least the spiritual power of the peak of the Spirit Realm."
"Although I have successfully broken through the Spirit Realm, I am only at the initial stage of the Spirit Realm after all. My soul power is limited and it is far from being able to eliminate the influence of the Dragon Butterfly Incense!"
You know, even in the ancient times, when encountering spirit snakes or dragons that were stunned by the Dragon Butterfly Incense, few people could wake them up.
Generally, they were left to sleep naturally until the power of the incense was exhausted, and they would wake up from their sleep.
After all, even in the ancient times, cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Realm were extremely rare, and they could not be seen just by saying so.
"Peak of the Spirit Realm?"
Liu Zimo frowned slightly. He didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to remove the psychedelic effect of the Dragon Butterfly Incense.
At this time, where can he find a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Realm?
Do we really have to wait for ten days or half a month, until the effect of the dragon butterfly incense dissipates and Jiao Linglong wakes up naturally before looking for the murderer?
Don't be kidding!
Even if he can wait, his younger brother can't!
After ten days or half a month, who knows what kind of accident will happen!
Swish!
Liu Zimo unbelievably probed out a wisp of spiritual consciousness and forcibly broke into Jiao Linglong's sea of consciousness.
A sea of consciousness space of less than 50,000 square meters was pitifully small in Liu Zimo's eyes.
Therefore, as soon as his spiritual consciousness entered, it only took a moment to explore and lock onto the origin of Jiao Linglong's soul.
I saw that there was a layer of pink smoke swirling around the main body of Jiao Linglong's origin.
You don't need to ask to know that this should be the dragon butterfly incense that caused it to fall into deep sleep.
Liu Zimo manipulated his spiritual consciousness and wanted to expel and refine these pink mists.
But he found that these mists were tangible and intangible, and were not affected by the attack of spiritual power at all.
There was no other way, Liu Zimo could only settle for the next best thing, and directly used the Soul Shock Secret Technique to try to forcibly wake up Jiao Linglong who was in deep sleep.
Buzz~!
The sea of consciousness shook slightly, and ripples also appeared in the soul origin.
At the same time, with the slight vibration of the soul body, nearly one-third of the pink mist shrouding the origin was swallowed and refined by the origin.
It worked!
Liu Zimo was shocked, and continued to increase the output of spiritual power, constantly performing the Soul Shock Secret Technique to stimulate Jiao Linglong's origin.
Soon, after three or five times, all the mists gathered on the origin were swallowed and refined, and dissipated.
Liu Zimo clearly sensed that Jiao Linglong's soul power and mental power were all greatly improved in an instant!
Even the sea of consciousness space expanded outward by tens of thousands of meters!
It can be seen.
Although this dragon butterfly fragrance will make the spirit snake clan fall into deep sleep without any resistance.
But this psychedelic mist will not cause any harm to their bodies and souls.
On the contrary, once they completely absorb and refine these special psychedelic mists, their spiritual cultivation will also be greatly improved!
[Your spiritual pet Jiao Linglong refines a wisp of 'Dragon Butterfly Fragrance', and the soul is stable, and the origin soars!
Trigger the 'stealing the sky' talent attribute, the opportunity is divided equally, and half of the soul cultivation increase is shared, mental power +100, soul strength +200, sea of consciousness space +20000. ]
The prompt sound that sounded in the ear at the same time further verified Liu Zimo's guess just now.
However, a full hundred years of spiritual power cultivation and two hundred moments of soul strength improvement still really surprised Liu Zimo!
I didn’t expect that this dragon and butterfly incense would be so helpful to Jiao Linglong, or to the spiritual cultivation of their spirit snake clan!
“Woo~!”
The fog dissipated, the spiritual power increased greatly, and Jiao Linglong also woke up leisurely from her deep sleep.
“This… woke up so quickly?!”
Hu Dali and Gui Suishou were stunned when they saw this!
Is this a mistake? !
Do you have to be so awesome? !
Didn’t the master just break through to the spiritual realm?
Why can he clear the influence of the dragon and butterfly incense on Jiao Linglong so quickly and let it wake up directly?
This is so unscientific!
Isn’t it said that only the cultivators at the peak of the spiritual realm can curb the influence of the dragon and butterfly incense and then awaken the consciousness of the sleeping spirit snake?
Why now, a guy who has just broken through the spiritual realm can so easily break the hallucinogenic effect of the dragon and butterfly incense?
Could it be that the spiritual power of their new master is not weaker than that of a normal peak spiritual realm cultivator? Hu Dali and Gui Suishou were both a little bit unbelievable. But apart from this reason, they could not think of any other possibility! "Venerable Dali, you are back too?!" As soon as Jiao Linglong opened her eyes, she saw her master, Gui Suishou, and Hu Dali, who she had not seen for tens of thousands of years, and could not help but greet him. Hu Dali came to his senses and nodded in response. "Yes, I'm back!" "Thanks to the master for not abandoning me, not only did he save my life, but he also took me under his command. Now we brothers and sisters can fight side by side again!" Jiao Linglong heard this and understood instantly. If nothing unexpected happened, it must be the old turtle Gui Suishou who was causing trouble. Otherwise, how could Hu Dali, who had been hiding in the extreme south, provoke Liu Zimo and be taken in as a spiritual pet by him? I really didn't expect it. Even if he hid in the glacier in the extreme south, the Great Power Venerable also could not escape the fate of recognizing his master again.
"Okay, there will be plenty of time to reminisce about the past later!"
Liu Zimo interrupted the conversation between the two beasts calmly and asked Jiao Linglong directly:
"Miss Linglong, my younger brother has been kidnapped by thieves and his life or death is unknown. Now I need you to find the thief for me, is there any problem?"
Hmm? !
What's the situation? !
Hearing that the master's brother was kidnapped, Jiao Linglong's heart was lifted up, and he turned his head suddenly to look at the spiritual plant garden.
Liu Zihao, who had been staying there to take care of the spiritual plants or open the furnace to refine the elixir, actually disappeared!
How could this happen? !
Before the master left, he repeatedly told it to guard the spiritual energy secret realm here and the family living in the secret realm.
Now it's good.
The master had just left for a few days, and it lost the master's brother!
This is a serious dereliction of duty!
Jiao Linglong blamed herself and was terrified.
She was afraid that her master would be dissatisfied and directly sacrifice her soul and kill her on the spot.
"Master, please forgive me. I am willing to make meritorious contributions to find out the person behind the attack and rescue Master Zihao!"
Feeling the cold eyes of her master, Jiao Linglong's heart trembled and she spoke repeatedly.
After speaking, Jiao Linglong raised her nose and sniffed, and soon caught the extremely diluted dragon and butterfly fragrance in the air.
"Over there!"
Following the scent of the dragon and butterfly fragrance, Jiao Linglong looked towards the west with a very affirmative tone.
When Liu Zimo heard this, his eyes flashed, and he did not leave in a hurry, but told Hu Dali and Gui Suishou beside him:
"You two stay here and make sure to protect the safety of my father and my uncle!"
Hu Dali and Gui Suishou nodded at the same time, not daring to disobey at all.
"Dad, uncle, you wait here, I will definitely bring my younger brother back safely!"
After comforting his father and uncle, Liu Zimo drove Jiao Linglong, who had transformed into a dragon, into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
A moment.
Five hundred kilometers west of Luozhou City, Zhongnan Mountains.
Jiao Linglong's huge dragon body flew up in the clouds and hovered over an extremely ancient Taoist temple in the middle of the mountains.
"Zhengyi Temple!"
When his mind swept over and saw the handwritten plaque hanging on the courtyard of the Taoist temple, Liu Zimo's eyes shrank slightly, as if he sensed a trace of unusual breath.
This Taoist temple is too complete and too clean!
The end of the world is coming, and demon disasters are coming from the sky. There are almost endless demon beasts everywhere in the world.
All major cities have become ruins overnight.
Even the martial arts sects Dalin Temple and Longhu Mountain, which have been passed down for thousands of years, have become ruined in three consecutive demon disasters.
However, this small Taoist temple hidden in the deep mountains and old forests is ancient and intact, without any trace of being invaded by monsters.
This is too abnormal!
At least, after the end of the world, Liu Zimo has never seen a building that is cleaner and more complete than the one in front of him.
More importantly, every room in this Taoist temple seems to be covered by a special spiritual charm, which can block his external spiritual thoughts from peeping and investigating!
This deepened Liu Zimo's suspicion of this Taoist temple.
"Zhengyi Temple?!"
Jiao Linglong also saw the plaque hanging at the main entrance at this time, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"This is impossible!"
"Zhengyiguan has already broken off its orthodoxy and disappeared long before the advent of the Dharma Ending Age!"
"How could it reappear after thousands of years, and the mountain gate is still so intact?"
When Liu Zimo heard this, he raised his eyebrows lightly.
No wonder this Taoist temple gave him an extremely weird feeling. It turned out to be a sect inheritance from ancient times!
In this case, the person behind the incident that stunned Jiao Linglong and kidnapped his little brother should be taking a closer look right here!
"Miss Linglong, are you sure you are here?"
Liu Zimo asked Jiao Linglong in a low voice with no expression on his face.
"You can't be wrong!" Jiao Linglong nodded firmly and replied: "The source of the dragon and butterfly fragrance is here!"
"However, this temple is protected by an ancient spiritual formation. Even my [spiritual sense] power cannot peek into it. I still don't know where Master Zihao is now and whether he is safe!"
"It doesn't matter." Liu Zimo said: "As long as we find the rightful owner!"
After saying that, Liu Zimo stopped talking nonsense and directly refined the [Soul-Destroying Bell] he just got from Hu Dali.
Buzz~!
The divine will was fully stimulated, and the bell body instantly expanded a thousand times in size, completely enveloping the entire Zhengyiguan!
Previously, Hu Dali's cultivation was insufficient and he could only barely activate the [Soul-Daunting Bell] to the first turn.
But even so, the overflowing bells made it difficult for Gui Suanshou, who had already returned to the peak of the realm of spiritual connection, to resist.
Now, Liu Zimo will re-sacrifice the [Soul-Aweing Bell] and fully activate it with the power of his endless soul.
In the blink of an eye, the [Soul-Daunting Bell] was transformed into its ultimate nine-turn form.
The golden bell is like a mountain, covering the surrounding areas!
Even before it was officially rung, the rune mantras revealed on the bell body were already exuding endless divine power, completely suppressing the entire Zhengyiguan!
"Friend Daoist, calm down! Fellow Taoist, calm down!"
"We don't mean any harm, and I hope fellow Taoist fellows will show mercy!"
Just when Liu Zimo was about to ring the bell to shock the tiger and teach Zheng Yiguan some lessons.
In the Taoist temple below, a sloppy Taoist suddenly appeared in panic, shouting from the air, begging for mercy!
