At this time, the villagers of the village all gathered together. Seeing the firebirds in the sky talking about it, the patriarch Zhou Zhong was also among them, and when he saw Zhou Qing coming panting, his face turned pale and asked sharply, "Where have you been?"

Zhou Qing was taken aback, thinking that the ancestors had always been very fond of him, and he had always spoken to him with a pleasant face, what happened today?

So Zhou Qing lowered his head, didn't dare to lie, and said cowardly: "Go to the bottom of the back cliff." ”

Zhou Zhong was so angry that he raised the crutch in his hand and hit Zhou Qing, saying as he beat him: "I'm going to kill your unscrupulous descendants today." ”

Zhou Zhong's two younger brothers hurriedly stopped, and one of them said: "Big brother, don't be impulsive, even if you kill him now, it won't help, our top priority now is to think about what to do." ”

Another said: "There is a cave in the back mountain, let's go and avoid it first, maybe the phoenix can't see us and leave!"

Zhou Zhong let out a long sigh and said, "According to what the second brother said, life and death can only be left to fate." ”

Zhou Zhong took the villagers to the cave in the back mountain, and was about to walk to the entrance of the cave, but was discovered by the phoenix, with a loud roar, the phoenix rushed towards everyone, and only flapped its wings towards the crowd, and the wind swept towards everyone with raging fire.

Many of the people in the crowd were burned to ashes on the spot, and the rest of the people panicked and fled into the cave.

"What's going on, why did that bird attack us?" Many people in the cave asked Zhou Zhong, Zhou Zhong said that today's disaster was caused by Zhou Qing, and called the firebird a phoenix, as if he knew the origin of this bird.

Zhou Zhong let out a long sigh and was silent, and Zhou Zhong's two younger brothers were also speechless.

"Let me explain. In the crowd, Yuan Zheng said. Zhou Qing glanced at Yuan Zheng, he didn't know when he had escaped to this cave in the crowd, and his intuition told him that today's disaster was related to Yuan Zheng.

Yuan Zheng told everyone what the three Zhou Zhong brothers did more than 200 years ago, which was related to the longevity of the Zhou family and the secret of the immortality of the Zhou Zhong three brothers.

It turns out that more than 200 years ago, the Zhou family and the Yuan family did not live here, but in a place called Qifeng Village, there is a plane tree in the village that has grown for thousands of years, and a phoenix lives on the tree, which blesses Qifeng Village.

No matter what natural and man-made disasters happen outside, the change of dynasties, or the fight of soldiers and horses, it has nothing to do with this Qifeng Village, and there have been soldiers and horses who want to go to Qifeng Village to plunder grain and grass, but they were burned to ashes by the fire before they entered the village.

At that time, everyone in Qifeng Village lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the two clans were quite harmonious, but later, Zhou Zhong didn't know where to learn that phoenix blood can make people immortal, so he had a bad heart, and together with his two younger brothers, he climbed the plane tree while the phoenix was out and stole the chicks in the phoenix's nest.

The phoenix is a sacred bird, how can people be offended, furious, the phoenix moved to anger and Qifeng Village, rained down a burning fire, countless people in the village were killed and injured, originally the village affairs were in charge of the Yuan clan chief, but the Yuan clan patriarch was also killed in the fire, Zhou Zhong took this to take charge of the village, led the villagers to flee,

But wherever they flee, the phoenix will find it, and the villagers will suffer heavy casualties as a result!

Later, Zhou Zhong learned that after sharing the phoenix chicks with his two younger brothers, he had the blood of the phoenix, and the phoenix could sense it, so no matter how he fled to the ends of the earth, he couldn't get rid of the revenge of the phoenix.

After begging the master, the master gave Zhou Zhong an idea, at the foot of the Thorn Mountain, there is a blood mallet vein, and the blood mallet vein can isolate the phoenix's induction, so Zhou Zhong established the blood mallet village on the blood mallet vein in the Thorn Mountain!

The heirs of Zhou Zhong and his two younger brothers still inherited the phoenix bloodline, but because the inherited phoenix bloodline was relatively thin, they could not live forever, but only live long.

The descendants of the Zhou family, who had inherited the blood of the phoenix, could not take another step out of the village in order to avoid being detected by the phoenix! Because they were afraid that the Yuan clan would leak out the matter of their immortality, it would only increase their troubles, so Zhou Zhong simply made a rule prohibiting anyone from stepping on the blood mallet village.

The villagers did not know about the three Zhou Zhong brothers stealing the phoenix chicks and causing the phoenix to retaliate, but as time passed, the immortality of the three Zhou Zhong brothers spread in the village, and the patriarch of the Yuan clan at that time became suspicious, suspecting that Zhou Zhong's immortality was related to the phoenix. This led to the Phoenix Burning Village!

But because there was no evidence, he couldn't ask Zhou Zhong for questioning, so he just wrote his suspicions into the clan chronicles, but with the increasing decline of the Yuan family, the clan chronicles were no longer written, and they were put behind the tablet in the ancestral hall and put on the shelf until they were seen by Yuan Zheng, who planned to renovate the ancestral hall, two hundred years later.

In order to find out about this matter, Yuan Zheng deliberately walked out of the Blood Mallet Village from under the cliff behind the village, visited the masters, and finally learned that if he wanted to live forever, he needed to drink the blood of the phoenix, and Zhou Zhong definitely did not have this ability, and the only possibility was to steal the young chicks in the nest.

I also learned that the phoenix is a sacred bird, connected with the blood of the young chicks, and the same pulse is felt, only the blood mallet vein can isolate this induction, and there must be a blood mallet vein under the thorn mountain!

Yuan Zheng, who guessed the probable cause and effect of the incident, also learned the reason why Zhou Zhong would never allow his clansmen to walk out of the Blood Mallet Village! Once the clansmen with the blood of the Phoenix walked out of the Blood Mallet Village, they would definitely be noticed by the Phoenix and attract the Phoenix, and then the entire Zhou clan would be in danger!

Yuan Zheng has been bullied by Zhou Qing since he was a child, and he is full of hatred for the Zhou family, and he learned that Zhou Zhong had killed so many people in the Yuan family, and the clan hated himself, so Yuan Zheng made up his mind to take revenge, and designed to lead Zhou Qing to the bottom of the cliff, and walked out of the Blood Mallet Village to attract the phoenix.

After hearing this, the villagers were all speechless, they didn't expect the three Zhou Zhong brothers to be so vicious, causing so many deaths for the sake of immortality.

Zhou Zhong smiled, but said angrily: "You are right, but if I die today, you will not survive." After that, he let the clansmen catch Yuan Zheng and wanted to kill him to relieve his hatred.

At this time, the phoenix outside the cave had been hovering for a long time, and when he saw that everyone had been hiding in the cave for a long time and did not come out, he screamed and spewed cyan flames towards the cave, and the flames burned all the stones, and the stones on the top of the cave fell one after another, and they were about to collapse.

Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone in the cave came out of the cave and fled for their lives, the phoenix continued to spew flames into the crowd, and the people who were burned by the fire wailed, and most of the villagers were killed and injured in an instant, but then the phoenix stopped attacking, and left with a long roar.

The people who survived the catastrophe were very happy, Yuan Zheng also survived, he found that most of the people who died were the descendants of Zhou Zhong and his younger brother, that is, the people who had the blood of the phoenix, and after a little thought, he understood that the location of the cave in the back mountain was already the edge of the village, and it did not affect the phoenix's induction of the bloodline!

So he killed all the people with phoenix blood and left, Yuan Zhenghou was afraid, and he wanted to take revenge on the Zhou clan, but he almost killed his own clansmen, and almost made a big mistake.

But then someone saw the phoenix wandering in that place, and another master pointed out that the place seemed to be sealed by an extremely powerful spell. That's why the phoenix couldn't leave that place!

The nine-headed ghost chariot bird said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what I said is the truth! And I also know that place, if necessary, I can personally lead you to find the lone phoenix trapped by the seal..... I just ask you to spare my life.....

Yang Zhuochao looked at Ge Lao and Cai Ling with some doubts, hoping to know the origin and truth of the matter from their mouths. Helplessly, Ge Lao and Cai Ling both shook their heads and said that they didn't know about it, and Yang Zhuochao couldn't help but feel a little lost!

At this time, Ge Lao said: To say that above this "large plane of space", the space and the ground are extremely vast! Many places may not have been set foot even today, and the Phoenix clan has always liked to live in groups. It also has its own fixed primeval habitat, which is the "Immortal Holy Mountain"!

It stands to reason that there shouldn't be a lone phoenix left outside, unknown to the clansmen. Besides, the old man had never heard of this from the old master, which was strange.....

Cai Ling also said that she had never heard of the clansmen talking about this, and although she also belonged to the peacock, she was still born of the phoenix! Strictly speaking, she also belonged to the side branch of the phoenix clan. Even she hadn't heard anything like this, proving that even if it was true, it was probably a secret matter of the Phoenix Clan.

Or maybe it's an outlier forgotten by the family.....

Yang Zhuochao was also a little undecided, if he didn't believe what the nine-headed ghost car bird said at all, what if this thing was true! Since he knew his true life experience, he was quite fond of the feelings of the entire Phoenix clan.

Looking at Yang Zhuochao, who was at a loss with a contradictory face, Ge Lao said: The young master doesn't have to worry, after the matter here is over, we will all take this magic bird to accompany the young master to go on a journey, and we will know the truth of the matter.

Yang Zhuochao said after sighing.

Later, Yang Zhuochao asked Ge Lao to imprison the soul of the nine-headed ghost car bird. This is a very subtle means of controlling the enemy, only imprisoning her soul, so that she cannot give birth to the heart to escape from betrayal! and all her actions are not affected, she can only obediently surrender and dare not have two hearts.

Otherwise, as long as the mind of the caster moves, the person who is cast will face the dissipation of the soul and disappear forever in this world and space.....

The nine-headed ghost car bird obviously knew the power of this spell, and the skin on her body trembled for a long time! But she also knew that resistance was futile, and if she wanted to survive, she had to obediently obey it!

Yang Zhuochao looked at the black and gray wilderness under the city wall, those demon soldiers seemed to have temporarily withdrawn! I don't know what special "monsters" the demon king Yeqing brought this time, thinking about it, there is still a little expectation.
