(Dreams are long at that time, yellow beams are good, don’t be greedy for vain pursuits)

The future was dark and confusing. Lan Feng slowly opened his eyes. He raised his hand and lit a fireball and looked around. He saw that the tunnel was long and extended into the distance, but there was a bottomless ravine under his feet. The dark blue undercurrent flowed out from here. The entrance to the tunnel was blocked by an energy field, making it impossible for weak water to flow. Pour it in.

A faint golden light exuded the aura of King Peng from the other end of the tunnel, but he didn't know how far it was, so Lan Feng had no choice but to walk forward step by step.

As he walked, he touched the rock wall next to him. In the light of the fire, he could vaguely see some fragmented murals remaining on it. The mural seems to record some past events of the ancient Phoenix life, but the traces of the mural become blurry as you go forward. In the end, we can only see the appearance of some weapons fighting, but we don't know who is fighting.

After about three quarters of an hour, Lan Feng finally reached the source of the golden light. He put his head out and suddenly saw a strange sight.

A domed cave spanning hundreds of meters was dug out from the middle of the mountain wall, with dozens of golden arc-shaped platforms hanging out of thin air. Attached to each platform is a giant golden feather.

At the top of the cave, there was a three-foot golden tripod suspended in the air by four chains.

What surprised Lanfeng even more was that the four sides of the cauldron were exquisitely carved, with two bird and animal heads carved on each side, and three on one side, for a total of nine heads. A steady stream of dark blue water flows out of the mouth of each carved head. The water falls and flows down from each arc-shaped platform, eventually forming a huge lake at the bottom of the cave!

At this time, Lanfeng was standing on the shore of the lake!

Lanfeng walked to the lake, squatted down and passed the dark blue lake water with his hand. At that moment, a chill came from his fingers, and he shuddered and hurriedly took his hand back.

"How is it possible?" Lan Feng secretly thought in his heart. Now that he has a Phoenix-born body, and even a body that has just reached the Yang state, how could he be chilled by the lake water?

He lit the phoenix fire again and lit it in the lake, only to see that the flame was extinguished at the touch of it!

"What's the origin of this water?" Lan Feng stood up and looked around. He couldn't see anything strange, so he had no choice but to flap his wings and fly towards those platforms.

His eyes swept over these platforms one by one. They were built of gold bricks and mixed with mountain rocks. Only each golden feather was as translucent as a bronze mirror.

Lanfeng continued to fly upward and arrived at the golden cauldron. Seeing that the cauldron was also sealed with gold bricks, he couldn't see what was happening inside the cauldron, so he used phoenix fire to try to burn down the gold bricks. But after the fire burned for a long time, there was no movement in the gold brick. When he touched it with his hand, the gold brick still had a cool feeling.

"What should we do..." Lan Feng ran out of ideas for a moment. He didn't know why King Peng wanted to stop him in every possible way since he left this wonderland for Feng Yi.

He sat down on the big cauldron and looked at the lake below. Although the lake is filled with water from a platform, it is calm and traceless, reflecting everything above.

Slowly, Lan Feng discovered that although the curved platforms scattered around seemed chaotic, there were a few places that were seamlessly connected in the reflection of the lake.

"One, two, three, four..." Counting it in detail, there are eighty-one platforms in the surrounding area. Although they vary in size, if they are subdivided into nine groups, it seems that they can be assembled into nine concentric rings. !

Lan Feng then looked at the nine carved heads of birds and animals around the cauldron, "Nine carved heads, nine rings. The phoenix raises nine chicks, and the Peng King happens to be the ninth..."

Thinking of this, Lan Feng smiled. He flew down to one of the platforms, used his arms to push it towards the other platform.

In this way, before long, the eighty-one platforms had been combined into nine concentric rings by Lan Feng.

When the last ring was spliced ​​together, the water flowing from the mouths of the nine bird and beast heads suddenly stopped. In an instant, the nine-layered concentric ring platform rotated downwards in every other layer in the opposite direction, and finally, it fit on the lake!

The change didn't stop, the surrounding mountain walls shook, and the four chains hanging the golden tripod slowly fell down. At the same time, the center of the lake began to surge, and an exquisite sapphire blue stone platform rose from the bottom of the lake.

With just a "Dang!" sound, the golden tripod landed steadily on the stone platform!

Seeing that the strange changes had stopped, Lan Feng got up and flew towards the golden tripod. When he landed on the tripod, he saw that there were eight more characters on the golden bricks of the tripod - Gathering Fire and Seeing the Dream Ruins.

"Gather the fire? Where to gather the fire?" Lan Feng looked around, and in a blink of an eye, he saw his own face in the golden feather mirror on one of the platforms.

He glanced over each golden feather mirror one by one and saw that the angles were not uniform. Only one golden feather faced the golden tripod. Lan Feng shot out a stream of fire with one finger. Unexpectedly, the mirror actually reflected the flame and hit Lan Feng directly. Lan Feng hurriedly dodged to avoid the fire, but saw a ray of gold flashing on the golden tripod, but it was fleeting.

Lanfeng looked at the golden feather and said to himself, "It's right, but the word "Gathering Fire" must have something to do with it. These golden feathers are all mirror-like, reflecting and refracting. Objects are called "Gathering", reflecting the light of fire. It is just a single route and cannot be called gathering. Therefore, these golden feathers must be used as refraction points to gather the fire light. If the golden feather just now is the gathering point at the end, then where is the golden feather at the beginning?

These golden feathers are scattered, and King Peng's reminder is probably not among them. "He turned his attention to the golden tripod at his feet, "These nine eagle heads..."

Lanfeng saw that the golden cauldron had four carved heads, only one side had three. He looked in the direction in the middle of the three carved heads, which happened to correspond to a golden feather.

Lan Feng made up his mind and flew over to stand on the platform where the golden feather was. He used his hands to gather green and red flowing flames, and suddenly shot towards the golden feather.

In an instant, the firelight refracted from this golden feather to other golden feathers. Sure enough, these eighty-one golden feathers refracted one after another, and finally gathered the firelight on the golden tripod!

In an instant, the golden threads surged and formed an illusion of a winged man on the golden tripod!

Nine feet tall, with eyes as bright as a torch, with golden wings on his back, and three feet of sky in his hand!

When Lanfeng saw the illusion of the winged man, he exclaimed in shock: "Peng King?!"

Before he could recover, the illusion of King Peng rushed in front of Lan Feng, and Fang Tian's painted halberd swept towards him. Lanfeng hurriedly ducked down, only to hear a loud noise, and then saw that a hole was torn open on the mountain wall!

Lan Feng calmed his mind. Seeing that this illusion was coming from an evil person, he raised his sword eyebrows and flipped the wings on his arms forward to turn into fist blades. King Peng's phantom attack didn't stop, and he struck at Lan Feng again with a splitting motion on the mountain. Lanfeng crossed his fists and ignited the green and red flames to parry. There was a muffled bang and the Phoenix Fire Fist actually blocked the move!

He took advantage of the situation and grabbed Fang Tian's painted halberd and pulled it back. Peng Wang Huanxiang stumbled forward. Lanfeng saw the opportunity and punched Peng Wang Huanxiang's lower body. Unexpectedly, Peng Wang Huanxiang turned over and fell forward. He jumped up behind Lanfeng and hit Lanfeng right in the left wing with another kick.

Lanfeng was in pain, and his wings lit up with phoenix fire to drive away the illusion of King Peng. The latter's face was expressionless, and Fang Tian's painted halberd danced in the strong wind and struck again. Lan Feng used his fists to parry one by one. After several rounds of stalemate, Peng King's illusion suddenly retreated and quickly shuttled around Lan Feng.

Seeing this, Lan Feng stood still. He saw that the illusion was so fast that dozens of clones were formed in the surrounding area with this speed. At this time, a voice came from the illusion: "Hunter, can you find me?"

The dozens of clones came one after another, and Lan Feng was unable to block them. In anger, he spread the phoenix fire and scattered the dozens of clones.

However, just when the fire light dissipated, Lan Feng stood still in the air. It turned out that at this moment, the Peng King's illusion was pointing at him with Fang Tian's painted halberd, and the halberd blade was just two inches in front of Lan Feng's throat...

A drop of cold sweat ran down Lanfeng's forehead. Is this the Golden Winged Peng King? Just an illusion left me helpless. If the real body were here...

King Peng received Fang Tian's painted halberd in the illusion. He came to the top of the golden cauldron and said: "In a battle between gods and monsters, I know that nine deaths are difficult to survive. So I left this dream ruins to be opened by the descendants of Phoenix in the future." After that, he put his hand down. On the golden tripod sealing brick.

I saw waves suddenly rising up on the lake surface, and the nine carved heads around the golden tripod began to suck in the lake water. The lake level dropped, and not long after, all the lake water with a radius of several hundred meters was sucked into the golden cauldron. The bottom of the lake is dry and is more than ten feet deep. Its bottom is made of sapphire blue like the stone platform under the cauldron.

"broken!"

The phantom of King Peng gave a soft drink, and the golden brick of the sealing cauldron shattered in response. Lan Feng opened his eyes and saw that there was an invisible dark blue inside the cauldron, with wisps of silver threads wandering inside.

"Put your hand in and try." King Peng said in an illusion.

Lanfeng stepped forward and dipped his finger into the water. In an instant, a strand of silver thread wrapped around his finger. Lanfeng was startled, and a broken picture flashed across the picture, with screams and killing cries everywhere. He hurriedly withdrew his hand, calmed down and said, "What on earth is this?"

King Peng said in an illusion: "This is my nightmare..."

"Nightmare?" Lan Feng said.

King Peng said in an illusion: "I knew it was impossible to escape from Tathagata's palm, and I was worried that after I was captured, they would read my memory and find the location of the demon clan, so I sealed my memory in this heart-washing water, and the silver thread in it was My memory. Only I, King Yutao, and the Macaque King know where this sea of ​​hell is. Now that the Macaque King is dead, the gods and Buddhas cannot be found here. However, the mission of Fengyi and the mission of the Huntian Demon Banner are both there. In this memory."

Lan Feng said: "Huntian Demon Flag?"

Peng Wang Huan nodded and said: "Everyone in the world says that dreams are illusions, but they don't know that dreams are just another space. But to enter this space, you must have extremely fast speed to break through this door. I spent several times It took a hundred years to create this dream, and the demons would never have thought that I would hide the Huntian Demon Flag in this dream."

"Why are you so wary of demons?" Lanfeng asked.

King Peng said in an illusion: "Because I believed it once, but it betrayed me, Phoenix..."

"Feng Yi's betrayer?" Lan Feng said.

Peng Wang Huanxiang nodded and said: "Everything you want to know lies here."

Lanfeng looked at the inside of the cauldron and said, "You just said that you have to go very fast to enter the dreamland, but can I reach that speed now?"

King Peng said in the illusion: "This is the reason why I am here. I left this illusion to help Feng Yi enter the dreamland. But," after saying this, he looked at Lan Feng meaningfully, "it can only be used once." "

"What do you mean?" Lanfeng asked.

"Whether I can bring you in or not depends on your luck." King Peng said in an illusion, "Have you thought about it?"

Lan Feng touched the potpourri sachet in his arms and smiled bitterly: "What else do I have to lose?"

King Peng said in an illusion: "Hold your breath and concentrate!"

Lanfeng stood up after hearing the words. King Peng put his hand into the cauldron and pulled it, and the heart-cleansing water suddenly formed a mysterious door. The illusion of King Peng flew behind Lan Feng again, superimposing his phantom body on Lan Feng's body.

With one leap, the two passed through the mysterious gate out of thin air and disappeared into the Dream Ruins together!
