Zhuge family.

There was a violent vibration, which made the Zhuge family members who had returned home after the Suzaku Hall incident tonight was temporarily over, and they were in an uproar again.

"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?"

"No! It doesn't feel like an earthquake. ”

"It's not like that, it's not the same as the shaking of an earthquake. It's like there's a giant beast moving underground. ”

After a few breaths, the tremors stopped abruptly as if nothing had happened.

Although the Zhuge family had doubts in their hearts, no one really wanted to dive into the ground to find out.

Sha Li looked at the huge firebird in front of him, and the ten huge pillars of light that ran through its body were slowly dissipating. The magma at the bottom of the cave first swelled violently, but quickly subsided.

The firebird flapped its huge wings and hovered above the cavern, looking down at Sha Li standing below.

It was the first time that Sha Li had looked at the firebird so closely, and just a small bird's toe was much thicker than his own body.

But this is just a firebird conjured up by a drop of Suzaku's soul blood, if the Suzaku itself is here, how huge it must be, Sha Li can't imagine.

I saw that after the firebird let out a distant sound from its mouth, the red light on its body suddenly shone up, making it impossible for Sha Li to look directly and had to close his eyes temporarily.

When he reopened his eyes, the huge firebird that had occupied the entire cavern had disappeared. Instead, a firebird half the size of Shari hovered above his head, its eyes still closed and unable to make out the sparkle in its eyes.

Sha Li noticed that this small Vermilion Bird Firebird had a finger-sized bright red ball of light in its delicate beak, which was much more intense than the red on its body.

"Let go of your guard and open your mind. Put yourself into a state of cultivation. ”

The familiar old voice sounded in his ears, Sha Li did not hesitate, sat down cross-legged, and according to the guidance of this Vermilion Bird's soul blood, he emptied his body and mind, and his whole body was not the slightest guard, and soon entered a state of meditation.

"Boom......"

Although his eyes were closed, Sha Li seemed to see something flying towards him. The sound was like the chirping of a bird, and it was like the long sound of a tiny ball as it swept through the air.

Shari felt something enter his body. He looked inward, and it was the red ball of light that he was holding in the firebird's mouth.

"What enters your body now is the soul blood of the Suzaku after being stripped of the will of the Suzaku. To be precise, it's not the complete Suzaku soul blood. Because I, who was originally the will of the remnant soul, have been completely stripped from the remnant soul.

You can think of it as Suzaku essence blood that carries part of Suzaku's soul power and all my memory fragments.

This Vermilion Bird essence blood contains a huge amount of Vermilion Bird True Element, refining it can improve your cultivation. However, with your current realm, it is impossible to refine it all, and then your body will be burst.

You can refine some of them first, and the rest of your essence blood, and when you feel that your ability is enough, you can try refining again.

As for the source of fire contained in it, you can absorb it all. I think that a Origin Fire Crystal has been derived in your body, and you can fuse the Origin of Fire within this essence blood with it.

The soul power of the Vermilion Bird carried on the essence blood can be integrated with your divine soul and strengthen your soul power. As for the effect, you will know later.

The memory fragment can be temporarily sealed in your sea of consciousness space, if necessary, just turn it out and look at it.

Okay, the power of the fire element here is also strong, so you can cultivate here first. ”

Sha Li didn't speak, he was already faintly aware that perhaps this Suzaku will, which had been stripped from the soul blood of the Vermilion Bird, would soon completely dissipate in this world. It hadn't left yet, it just wanted to see the results of Sha Li's initial refining of Vermilion Bird essence blood.

Therefore, what Sha Li has to do now is to take advantage of the sudden great opportunity to cultivate well.

As for how to refine, since he had already had no more than one Yuan Dan refining experience before, it was not difficult for him.

...

West of the island, Silver Beach.

At the top of a sentry post, a diminutive man leaned over the railing, and in front of him was a vast ocean.

Behind him, a black-robed man in a cloak stood with a sword, speaking to the short man with his back to him.

If Sha Li is here, he must be no stranger to him. Because, this man had rescued him in the Vermilion Bird Hall of the Zhuge family.

"In this way, Luo Hongshao has been completely abolished. ”

After listening to the black-robed man's story, the short man said in a deep and heavy voice.

"Yes, Captain. She has been detained by Zhuge Zixin, and according to the clan rules of the Zhuge family, she may be imprisoned for life like Zhuge Zhengchen. ”

In this way, only Zhuge Zixin can take over as the future head of the Zhuge family. After all, the Zhuge family still returned to the hands of Zhuge without entropy. The short man sighed slightly.

"According to my observations over the years, Zhuge Wuju is not greedy for the position of the head of the family. This time, Zhuge Zhengchen lost the qualification to inherit the position of the head of the family because of the Vermilion Bird Stone case, and I think Zhuge Wuju will hand over the position of the head of the family to Zhuge Zixin in advance. ”

This is also her long-cherished wish for many years. Zhuge Zixin still has some means, and she is in control of the Zhuge family, which is good for us and Qiyuan Island. The short man seemed to appreciate Zhuge Zixin very much.

"Yes. If she hadn't asked the captain for help back then and told the captain about the abnormality of the Zhuge family, the captain would not have noticed Luo Hongshao's strange identity. ”

The short man turned around, stared at the black-robed man and asked, "Ying Jiu, have you ever revealed the secret behind Luo Hongshao to Zhuge Zixin?"

"The captain can rest assured that his subordinates have their own measure. The black-robed man said busily.

"That's fine. Ever since Zhuge Zixin informed me about the situation of the Luo family, I realized that this matter was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.

After a check, it was found that this Luo Hongshao actually had an unusual relationship with the main line of the Luo family, and it was very likely that it involved the one of the Luo family.

I immediately reported the matter to the Grand Priest, and they told me not to startle the snake and wait and see what happened. Now it seems that Luo Hongshao's target is indeed Vermilion Birdstone. ”

The short man looked at the big fish that occasionally jumped out of the sea, and his face was slightly reminiscing.

"The captain sent me to infiltrate Zhuge Zixin at that time, to help Zhuge Zixin on the surface, and to take the position of master of the family at the right time. secretly monitored Luo Hongshao's every move.

If it weren't for that, it wouldn't be possible to find out that Zhuge Wuen's death back then was actually related to Luo Hongshao.

It was she who instigated Zhuge Wuju to ask Zhuge Wuxian for Vermilion Stone, and Luo Jiashu really didn't know about it. Zhuge failed to break through the realm without entropy, and finally died. It must have something to do with the elixir that Luo Hongshao refined for him that claimed to help break through the realm.

Luo Jiashu had doubts for a long time, otherwise she would not have talked about this matter with Luo Hongshao when she was seriously ill many years later, and I overheard it by chance.

It's just that Luo Jiashu didn't know for some reason to take Zhuge Zixin's suspicion and hatred for his father's accidental death on himself.

And Zhuge Zixin has always thought that everything Luo Hongshao did was just for Luo Jiashu. ”

The black-robed man is worthy of being the shadow of the island guard, who has been hiding in the Zhuge family for more than ten years, but he also investigated Luo Hongshao's actions quite clearly.

"However, if it weren't for the fact that the captain noticed that Luo Jiashu was seriously ill this time, and the Vermilion Bird Stone was also stolen at this time, Zhuge Zixin and I would not have made up our minds to make this temptation. ”

The black-robed man paused as if he remembered something, and then said, "Speaking of which, those little guys in the team are really good. Especially that Sha Li, if it weren't for him, this matter wouldn't have made such a big progress all of a sudden. Zhuge Zixin and I just wanted him to be a pawn to see if we could draw out something, but we never thought that Luo Hongshao's more than ten years of lurking would be destroyed overnight. ”

"It's surprising. Russell sent them to Zhuge Family, and he never thought that it would be such a result," the short man snorted lightly.

"Captain......" The black-robed man stopped talking.

"Say something. ”

"Vice captain, but there is a suspicion of having a secret relationship with Na Luo Hongshao?"

Hearing this, the short man suddenly fell silent, and only after a long time did he speak:

"Russell has worked with me for many years, and I know him very well as a person, but he is also quite decent and acts with the big picture in mind.

He should be involved in the matter of Vermilion Birdstone, but it is only for Luo Jiashu, after all, he is his aunt in that lineage.

I think he has nothing to do with Luo Hongshao. ”

"That's for the best. The black-robed man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go back. Remind Zhuge Zixin to take care of the Vermilion Birdstone. Also pay attention to Luo Hongshao. The dwarf man commanded.

"Captain, do you want to dig deeper into Luo Hongshao. The black-robed man was a little unsure.

"No need! If Luo Hongshao is really that person behind him, it's not for you and me to make the decision on my own. I will report this matter to the authorities, and I think that the Grand Priest and the Metropolitan will have a plan. ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired. The black-robed man bowed and bowed before leaving.

"Wait, Zhuge Wuju is coming back soon. The short man asked suddenly.

"According to the original day, I will return from the ancestral land of the Zhuge family today. The black-robed man thought for a moment and continued: "It's a bit interesting to say that this Zhuge Wuzhu is a bit interesting. The Vermilion Bird Stone was stolen, and in order to plead guilty, he took his uncle Zhuge Miaomiao to kneel in the Zhuge family ancestral hall for a few days and nights. ”

"Zhuge Wuju was originally a cultivator, and he didn't know anything about managing the family. Perhaps after he became the head of the family, he realized the hardships of his eldest brother Zhuge Wuentropy. I gradually have a sense of responsibility as a member of the Zhuge family. This may also be the reason why he no longer forced Vermilion Bird Stone for his beloved wife. ”

"That's what the captain said. The black-robed man nodded.

"You have been hiding in the Zhuge family for so many years, and Zhuge Wuzhu has ever found you. ”

The black-robed man was silent for a while, as if recalling all these years, and finally said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be." Otherwise, he would not have allowed my eyes to peep in the dark. ”

The short man did not answer.

The moonlight became dimmer and the majesty of the 10,000-year-old paulownia tree became clearer.

The chirping of insects gradually faded away.

It's going to dawn.
