Volume 1: Chang'an Night Change Forty: Ice Phoenix
On the banks of the Lethe River, the man stood quietly. His eyes were full of confusion, not knowing where to go or what to do.
"I'm rubbing, it's this kid again, why is it here again!" Hei Wuchang, who was the messenger of the soul hook, had just come back from hooking a batch of new souls, and saw Li Qinglian standing by the Lechuan River.
The last time they met Li Qinglian, they inexplicably let her escape, and this time they met Hei Impermanence again, only to feel that the anger that had accumulated in their hearts could finally be released.
"Damn, dare to escape from Lao Tzu's men, see if I don't kill you!" he said that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Bai Wuchang on the side.
"Take it easy, don't you notice that something is wrong with that guy?"
"What's wrong? A living person trespasses into the underworld, even if he doesn't die, he must die, this is the rule of the underworld!"
"But he's already here for the second time!" Bai Wuchang shouted loudly.
This sentence instantly woke up the black impermanence in anger. Yes, it's already the second time, how can there be a living person who comes to the underworld twice, and it is Zhong Kui since ancient times. Then he is now the underworld general, deprived of his human identity.
"I'm rubbing, is this guy going to be the second Zhong Kui?" Black Impermanence exclaimed.
As soon as the words fell, suddenly he only felt a chill behind him, and looked at Bai Wuchang next to him, only to see that her already pale face was now even whiter.
It can't be such a coincidence!
Turning his head to look behind him, his pupils dilated instantly, and he fainted on the spot.
"Lao Hei, Lao Hei, you're okay, don't die, Lao Hei, what can I do if you die!"
Listening to the crying sound from the other side of the bridge, Li Qinglian looked over, but saw that there was already someone standing in front of her.
"Someone else?" Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was dressed like a court official, he didn't even recognize it for a while.
I saw Zhong Kui wearing Netherworld Xuan Armor before, his eyes were transparent and glowing with blue ghost fire, and his chest was also transparent. He always thought that Zhong Kui was a spirit, but when he saw it today, he didn't expect that he really looked like a human.
"Spirits are low-class goods, and how can I, as a general, be confused with those guys. "Without the armor, even the voice becomes powerful and powerful.
"So why don't you wear armor today?"
Zhong Kui smiled faintly and said: "Youhuan ordered that all the underworld generals, soul envoys and ghost soldiers in the underworld should suspend their patrols tonight. ”
"Is it because of Chang'an?" he asked.
"There are millions of people in Chang'an, how many undead will there be if you really lose, and there are already a lot of talents here, what Di Renjie, Cheng Biting Jin, Eldest Sun Wuji, Li Xin...... Something like that, there must be no one to come down this time!"
Hearing this, Li Qinglian was puzzled: "If you want to say that, how many more sets do you have, why did you take it off?"
"Because of you!"
"What do I have to do with me?"
"With you preventing this disaster, won't I be idle?" After saying that, Zhong Kui smiled at him, and then pushed him.
With a pop, he fell into the Lethe River.
The woman walked out of the courtyard, and the things in front of her were in tatters. The ashes that were left of the fire were hidden by snowflakes, and the humanoid snowman lay on the ground.
Wang Zhaojun stepped forward, looked at the snowman lying on the ground, she squatted down, her hand gently stroked the layer of snow, and what appeared in front of her was a face that had been charred like black charcoal.
There was no bright red flesh, only black charred bodies, and the disgusting smell of burning that permeated the air.
Such pickled, dirty, and lowly things are so different from her holy and beautiful that people can't wait to kick the dirty things on the ground away.
However, for Wang Zhaojun, she was not bored with nausea, she was only confused in her heart.
She was originally a princess of the north, and she came to Chang'an only because of her identity as a singer, and the casualties or destruction here had nothing to do with her.
But since that night, when he was on the stage and saw him in the crowd under the stage, his whole heart was already in turmoil from that moment.
Tonight, too, for some reason she came out, and inexplicably came to the thirteenth lane of Xicheng, and came to this dilapidated small courtyard.
"Did you call me?" She placed her white jade hand on her charred face, and the other hand covered her chest.
There was no response!
Disappointed, she withdrew her hand and stood up, just as she noticed the urn in the corner, where a bright light flickered.
She walked over, only to see that the lotus flowers in the water urn were already scorched, if others naturally didn't think anything, but she could sense that something was calling to her under this black water.
She tried to use her mana to get it out, but found it useless, and wanted to smash the urn open, but she was worried that she would destroy the contents inside.
She had no choice but to take off her white robe, pull up her sleeves, and then put her jade hand into the black water.
After a bit of fumbling, she finally touched the thing and took it out.
It is a cyan stone lotus, there are no lotus leaves, and the petals are half white and half cyan, which gives people a wonderful feeling.
There are twelve lotus leaves, only one of which is crystalline and emits a pale green fluorescence on it. The rest are just stone lotuses, no different from ordinary stones.
"Is this ...... Shi Xinlian, how could she be here?" Wang Zhaojun couldn't help but exclaim.
No one had ever seen the true face of this artifact, which existed only in ancient books, and she only recognized it by the descriptions in the books.
There are not many descriptions of stone heart lotus in history, and the only time the most recent time recorded was 70,000 years ago, when the once sandless sea, which is now the purple sea, once had a 'vicissitudes of life' wonder, and the original sandless sea full of yellow sand became a real sea in just one day.
And that night, people saw a cyan light shining in the middle of the distant sea on the shore, and some people with good eyesight saw part of the appearance of that thing, saying that it was the stone heart lotus in the record of the Heavenly Book Tomb.
After that, someone tried to cross the sea or fly over, but before they could get close to the stone heart lotus, they died inexplicably on the way, and the body sank into the sea.
This incident even alarmed the master, who rushed from Jixia Academy to the sea of sandlessness and sealed the stone heart lotus in the sea of sandless with his own strength. After that, the next day passed, and the sandless sea returned to its previous appearance of yellow sand, and the stone heart lotus also disappeared into the sandless sea.
"Everyone believed that Shi Xinlian was taken away by the master, but they didn't expect to see it here. ”
Looking at the stone heart lotus in front of him, Wang Zhaojun held it in his hand with excitement and looked at it carefully, after all, this thing is a priceless treasure in the true sense.
Suddenly, her expression froze, and a picture appeared in her mind, which was a phoenix, with ice-crystal wings all over her body, and a holy posture. When those eyes were on her, she sensed the fiery phoenix in her body stirring, as if she wanted to rush out.
"Ice Phoenix!"
