Volume 1 The Most Ruthless Phoenix, Chapter 1 Wake Up

---- 500,000 years later----

A melodious piano sound woke Zhuo Hua up from his drowsiness, and he didn't know if he had slept for a day or a hundred years.

Looking around, everything gradually became sober from hazy. The Xuanhuang Mirror flickered with light, and the Yan Tianqin buzzed. Zhuo Hua looked at the Xuanhuang Mirror, as if everything in the dream was yesterday. Raising his hand through the light of the Xuanhuang Mirror, he wanted to grasp the past, but there was nothing, only time passed between his fingers. The cold and hard Xuanhuang Mirror was still in place.

This Xuanhuang mirror is the treasure of the Xuanhuang Divine Clan, the material is unknown, the mirror surface is like silver, the mirror body is like jade, and the mirror platform is like gold. There are golden crows, red luans, Mo Peng, green orioles four god bird totems around around, on the top can check the void of 50,000 square circles, the next can be regarded as the void of the past and present, in the last battle of the gods damaged a foot, and then replaced by the Jinwu Mountain Beast.

And the wild goose Tianqin is Zhuo Hua Yuanjun with a broken foot of the Xuanhuang mirror, there is a huge power in the Lanling void, but the drum and qin are the wind, destroying the withered and decaying, and the affected places are barren, and there is no living thing for tens of thousands of years, but there is no power in the void. When used as a musical instrument, it can be played to be pleasing or charming.

When the time comes, I don't know how many years have passed in the world, and how many changes have been passed in the mountains and rivers. Zhuo Hua still misses his old man in his heart.

A picture appeared in the Xuanhuang Mirror, and Zhuo recognized it at a glance as Nanyanzhou, which was misty and rainy. "Is this the place you want to go this time?" Zhuo Hua asked himself.

Naturally, the matter of igniting the stars will not be successful every time, but since the Xuanhuang Mirror deduces that the new star will be born in Nanyanzhou, then Zhuo Hua must go there this time. She also likes the misty mountains and water of Nanyanzhou the most, Zhuo Hua thought. But she left, quietly on the eve of the battle between neighbors, when she was most needed. There was no sign or mark of the place where she left, and all the information indicated that she had not used the Leap Technique, so that she would not leave any traceable marks, but where could she run without the Leap Technique?

The nearby void has been searched many times, but there is no news. Over the years, Zhuo Hua has also felt exhausted, and gradually gave up the search, just hoping that she would not run into the god of the Dark Clan. But Zhuo Hua still hopes to see her again, and even looks forward to another battle of the gods, hoping that Zhuo Hua will be able to see her again.

Zhuo Hua walked out of the cloud top and felt the gentle aura that he had not seen for a long time, although he knew that this was not the Xuanhuang Void, but there was still a kind of intimacy, even though it had been too many eras for the same state to be maintained here.

"Thinking about her again?" A low voice came from beside him, and the vague aura made Zhuo Hua feel an inexplicable sadness. "Don't learn that kind of human sorrow anymore, you can't learn it. ”

"Jiaomu Jiao, I always thought that you people from the Qinglong Palace had always known the rules of this cloud top, why didn't you enter it first today?"

After a long time, Jiaomu Jiao said leisurely: "Where is Yuan Shang going this time?" "Nan Yanzhou." Zhuo Hua took a step and walked towards the Fengtong Forest. Jiaomu Jiao said with a little disappointment: "I went so many times, and in the end there were only a few people." Zhuo Hua turned his head, looked at his clear eyes, and said firmly: "I believe in the deduction of the Xuanhuang Mirror." ”

Zhuo Hua leaned over and picked up a leaf of the phoenix tree, stroked the golden leaf in the fire with his hand, and said: "Only those who appear in the Xuanhuang Mirror are qualified to go to the Cloud Sky Monument, I have a feeling that the new battle of the gods is coming, and the last two stars must return to their positions as soon as possible, so that the four palaces can cast a spell to open the light curtain." ”

Jiaomu Jiao spread out his palm, and two leaves that were just small flames floated into his palm, he flipped the leaves, but his eyes looked elsewhere, "We can do it at the end of the Qinglong Palace, I can control two nights by myself." With that, he clenched his hands, and a flame flashed from between his fingers.

"With your pinch, the 30,000-year-old essence of the small leaves will come to naught. This time it is your last Mitsui leopard who appears, and whether it succeeds or does not matter another matter. Zhuo Hua paused and said, "No, it will definitely be done." ”

Zhuo Hua's finger drew a circle on the leaves of the phoenix tree, and the flame that was about to be extinguished burned again, placing the leaves flat in the palm of his hand, and with a gentle push, the leaves slowly flew up the branches, re-emitting golden light. "Yuanshang, why don't you let me go this time, I'll go to the end of the Qinglong Palace myself. Jiaomu Jiao retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Zhuo Hua, his eyes full of pleading.

Zhuo Hua looked at him, thought for a moment, and then shook his head and said: "It's not your business to ignite the stars, the duty of the four palaces is to guard the heavenly palace and monitor the world, and the mission of Yuan Jun is to ignite the stars." Whether you go for me or for yourself, eventually someone will question the person, question the person, question your motives. The harmony on the surface of the four houses is better not to be broken. ”

Jiaomu Jiao sighed lightly and said, "Hey, I just don't want you to take advantage of the excitement every time and return in disappointment." ”

Before I knew it, I had walked to the side of the Yushui Bridge, and a woman on the bridge was looking at the railing, as if she was contemplating.

Jiaomu Jiao suddenly disappeared from Zhuo Hua's side, and suddenly flashed beside the woman, patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Jing Mu Qian, your long-thinking lover was woken up by Yan Tianqin. ”

Jing Mu Qian first showed a frightened look, and then glared at Jiao Mu Jiao angrily, "You old Jiao, you talk all day long, see if I don't stuff you with a mouthful of phoenix leaves." ”

This well wood is waist-high, the face is like a peach blossom, the skin is like clotted fat, the eyebrows are a little mole, the head wears a gold jade vermilion bird step shake hairpin, the forehead is bright silver Huasheng, the upper body is wearing a gold silk vermilion finch pattern undergarment, the lower body is wearing an ink-colored red dot moonflower skirt, a mutton fat white jade belt is tied around the waist, the vermilion palace is hanging on the right side, and a gilt gold jade is worn on the upper string to the town skirt. Just now she was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, a good picture of a beautiful woman enjoying the scenery by the railing.

"What are you doing as her? Looks like her, but the heart is not. Your heart is not as ruthless as her" Zhuo Hua put away the description that turned from joy to disappointment, stepped forward, leaned on the railing beside Jing Muxuan, and said lightly.

"But," Jing Mu turned into a plain deity, and smiled softly: "It's not a solution to your lovesickness." I don't want you to think of her all the time, but I want to do it for you. ”

She spoke in a flat tone, like a wisp of filament brushing her skin, which was originally hurtless and painless, but it made people itchy and dry. She turned her face to look at Zhuo Hua, and the originally sharp gaze in her bright eyes suddenly softened a lot, and thousands of feelings poured out, enchanting.

"Hmm! The end of the Suzaku Palace has not yet been put forward. Zhuo Hua's voice was a little dry, which made the already embarrassing atmosphere even more embarrassing.

"I didn't deduce the show just because the opportunity didn't come!" Jiaomu Jiao came out to play a round game, while raising his hand, fiddling with the koi fish he had just fished from the Posa River, he turned the river water into a water balloon, and wrapped the fish.

The fish swam forward, and the water balloon also rolled forward, and Jiaomu Jiao teased the red-backed and white-bellied koi while quipping: "Your hearts are all fish in this ball, and if you come out, you will die, and if you don't come out, you will be imprisoned." ”

"Don't you dare to be compared to Yuan Shang and the palace master!" the koi said, wagging his tail and rushing out of the water balloon and jumping into the river. "You said Zhuo Hua is a fish, then aren't you? Zhuo Hua still dares to jump into the water balloon, but what about you?" Jing Mu Qian looked at Jiaomu Jiao coldly, and said angrily.

"The world is full of envy of the cloud palace, and the most ruthless phoenix is the flower. Zhuo Hua hid his weak figure and returned to the palace, but the sad words floated on the side of the Yushui Bridge.

The petals of the papiership tree fell flutteringly, and before they touched the ground, a cloud of water vapor rose. The surrounding vegetation and flowers are curled up, creeping, or withering. The water vapor slowly dispersed, leaving a dead silence around them.

This silver flower, the poison of the cold, who would have thought that it would be a miracle medicine to heal wounds and survive the catastrophe. Just like the five elements of yin and yang, the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, complement each other, and restrain each other.

Zhuo Hua waved his hand to close the window, his eyes slightly closed. This thought rippled again, and the scene of his hometown appeared in front of him, just like this cloud top, just as beautiful as the void of Lanling. The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant.

"Let's create a void together! a world exactly like this one. She tilted her head to look at Zhuo Hua, her starry eyes full of longing and expectation, "The void that only belongs to us, no one can find us." ”

She stepped forward and put her head on Zhuo Hua's shoulder, the green silk of the waterfall spreading, and this irresistible feeling entered every space in his body before he wanted to regain his senses, entwining, permeating, making him boiling and scorching.

But Zhuo Hua couldn't figure out the reason why Lanling suddenly disappeared before the battle of neighbors.

The voice in the Xuanhuang mirror pulled Zhuo Hua back into the bright cloud palace, and he retracted his thoughts, but saw a picture appear in the mirror: this originally radiant golden sun, many black patches gradually appeared in the middle, and as these patches expanded, the golden sun slowly darkened, and finally extinguished.

Zhuo Hua frowned, waved his hand to hide the painting in the mirror, and a chill rolled in his heart. This seems to have come much earlier than expected, so many things have to be done as soon as possible.

Zhuo Hua whisked the wild goose and played the willow wind song. In a moment, the illusions of the palace masters of the four palaces were lined up on the left and right, and the patterns of the divine beasts behind them were also clear.

As the head of the four palaces, Jiaomu Jiao of the Qinglong Palace said solemnly: "The palace master of the four palaces was summoned by Yuanjun to gather in Yunding and listen to the teachings of Yuanshang. Immediately, the master of the Four Palaces knelt three times and bowed nine times to pay homage. "I know that Zhuqing is busy with affairs and has no time to get out, but the situation is urgent, so I have to Fu Liu Fengqu to call Zhu here to discuss the plan. ”

The palace master of Xuanwu Palace stepped forward and bowed and said, "Yuan Shang said this, but it made me wait." ”

Jing Mu Qian knelt on his knees, raised his head slightly and whispered: "The stars of the four palaces are all enlightened by Yuan Jun, and he is willing to serve the Cloud Palace, and Yuan Shang does not need to be so polite." ”

Zhuo Hua nodded, and asked in a calmer tone, "Doumu Hedgehog, how are the preparations for the memorial ceremony of the fallen Star Monarch and the Seven Immortal Warriors in this year's Battle of the Neighbors?"

Doumu Jiqi was startled at first, and then looked around at the other three palace masters around him, and saw that the others were also at a loss, so he had to bow forward and salute resignedly: "Returning to Yuanjun, it is still the same as in previous years." ”

Zhuo Hua pondered for a moment and said, "This year's ceremony should be held more grandly." ”

Jiaomu Jiao hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to ask: "Qiyu Yuanshang, since this year's memorial ceremony is going to be grander, then... So the bones of those dragon clans and other three demon clan soldiers who stayed in the neighboring realm before, can they... Can we take it back and pay tribute together?"

Doumu Hedgehog opened his mouth and sneered: "Back then, the four demon clans of the Dragon, Eagle, Shark and Whale were afraid of the battle and retreated. It makes the Immortal Clan coalition army suffer from the enemy. At that time, Yuanjun decreed that the bones of the demon clan were not allowed to return to their hometown. You won't forget it. ”

Jiaomu Jiao said angrily: "At that time, the Demon Clan Alliance was facing the strongest enemy, and more than half of the casualties were already over. My father, the King... The Dragon King just wants to leave some Miao descendants for the Demon Alliance, is this also wrong? I would like to ask you, I said that the people from your Xuanwu Palace rushed to the aid of the Demon Alliance Army three days later, but why did they not come until the seventh day? Otherwise, how could my eldest brother and second brother be..."

Doumu said hesitantly: "I... I was besieging the enemy's capital with Yuan Jun, and I couldn't leave!"

Jiaomu Jiao wanted to say something more, but Zhuo Hua shouted: "Let's discuss this matter again." Okay, let's get down to business. ”

Zhuo Hua waved his hand to present the scene in the Xuanhuang Mirror just now in the center of the main hall, which was originally a shining golden sun, but it was obvious that some black spots were constantly spreading.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this scene appeared in the Xuanhuang Mirror at noon today, and it is estimated that it will appear in 10,000 years. Just because of the huge amount of Golden Sun Essence needed to activate the light curtain, our previous continuous request for Lanling Golden Sun has had irreversible results, if we can't get the essence supplemented, the Golden Sun of Lanling Void will be extinguished after 500,000 years. ”

There was silence in the main hall, the phoenix tree outside the window rustled, the river murmured in the distance, and the sound of koi jumping and falling in the river could be vaguely heard.

"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and all the stars have taken the protection of the Lanling Void and the Lanling Golden Sun as their lifelong aspirations. If there are only two vacancies in the palace today, the replacement of the stars in the four palaces is about to be completed, and the day when the heaven-mending array will open is not far away. “

Xuanwu Palace's main Doumu Hedgehog is coloring. The other three should all be the same.

Kui Wood Wolf, the palace master of the White Tiger Palace, stepped forward and saluted: "The White Tiger Palace is ready to attack, the Xuanhuang Mirror deduces dozens of suitable voids, and with just an order from Yuan Shang, you can tear the void, destroy its golden sun, and take its essence to save Lanling." ”

"But..."Zhuo Hua sat down and said, "Whether or not there is a Holy Spirit in these voids, the Xuanhuang Mirror has not been deduced, and the end of the Blue Dragon Palace and the Vermilion Bird Palace has not been ignited and soared, so it is impossible to gather the power of the four palaces to carry out the Eclipse Colorful Array to absorb the essence of the Golden Sun." Do you White Tiger Palace want to use the dirty methods of the secret clan to destroy Jin Ri and kill innocents indiscriminately?" Zhuo Hua's tone was a little intense, but his expression was not wavering.

"So. Jiaomu Jiao calmed down for a while, stepped forward and said: "The top priority is to turn the end of the remaining two palaces as soon as possible and help them to cross the tribulation and ascend, and Weichen is willing to travel with Yuanjun to the lower realm." ”

Zhuo Hua nodded and said: "This travel and transformation matter was originally just my own business, but it's okay for you to accompany me this time, although you have survived the auspicious cloud tribulation and entered the god level, you can cultivate to stay in the six grades of the god level and not advance an inch, this nether travel may help you break through the bottleneck of your own cultivation." To open the Great Array of Light Curtain of the God Rank, you four Palace Masters need to be able to reach the ninth rank of the God Rank. Besides, it is understandable that you personally participated in the ignition of the people in your palace. Jiaomu Jiao smiled and bowed to Zhuo Hua, and at the same time thanked him.

"Yuanjun. A soft female voice rang out in the hall. "Jing Mu Qian has also survived the auspicious cloud tribulation, can you... Can we go to the lower realm together?" Zhuo Hua's gaze moved to Jing Muxuan, only to see her bow slightly, her eyes drooping, her body undulating, and she looked a little panicked.

She finally spoke up. The meaning of the nether realm that has been hidden for a long time finally wants to be said today.

Zhuo Hua still remembers when she was found in the snow in the north, she was abandoned by the tribe, and a puppy with a wounded hind foot curled up in a snow cave and passed out.

Zhuo Hua has always taken her with her during the millennium of her journey in the mortal world, and the first thing she said when she turned into a human form after a thousand years was to return to that world and travel again.

Jing Mu Qian has been practicing very hard and hard, but she doesn't learn any cultivation methods that have shortcuts, just because Zhuo Hua said that her foundation is not solid. Jing Mu Qian was seriously injured after surviving the fire disaster for the first time, Zhuo Hua tried his best to apply medicine stones to no avail, and finally poured his own blood into her to save Jing Mu Qian's life, but Zhuo Hua also got on the vitality for this and recovered for a long time. The first thing she said to Zhuo Hua after she woke up was: "From now on, my life will be yours." ”

Jing Mu Qian is the second star to survive the auspicious cloud tribulation and be unscathed, and it only took four generations and 800,000 years to live, and the other is Lanling, which no one can surpass.

Zhuo Hua still had palpitations when she remembered the day she crossed the auspicious cloud tribulation, and Jing Muqian almost lost her life in the auspicious cloud void.

She was fully prepared, urging the Qi Bead to absorb the essence of the golden sun, condensing a huge amount of qi energy in her body, half a day later, she triggered the auspicious cloud void to open, inhaling her, she released a steady stream of energy, pushing herself to shuttle dexterously through the auspicious cloud void, flashing and moving without any thunder or sun flame touching her, this white horse through the gap like no one can reach.

After a day and night of hard work, he finally escaped from the Xiangyun Void before the reserve essence was exhausted, and the people of the White Tiger Palace brought back the exhausted Jing Mu Qian.

"Yuan Shang. Jing Muxuan's words interrupted Zhuo Hua's thoughts. "Weichen wants to travel to the lower realm with Yuanshang. Jing Muqian slowly raised his head and looked at Zhuo Hua with a determined gaze. "Please let me go. ”
