Chapter 4: The Mysterious Phoenix

"Zhuangzi" cloud: drifting at will, I don't know what to pursue, let my mind go wild, I don't know where to go, unrestrained, swimming in infinity, what do I know?

Xu Liuli prepared the items she needed and went to Phoenix City next door, since she decided to come to the Taoist to watch and see her peace of mind yesterday, she investigated some news by herself, although they are all legends, but that can also be a little bit understood.

Xu Liuli bought the ticket and was about to find a vacant seat to do, when she suddenly heard someone calling her. Looking up at Dingqing, at the back of the passenger car near the window, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes waved his hand and shouted to her: "Xu Liuli, there is time here." ”

Xu Liuli looked at this young and energetic little boy, feeling very familiar, but he didn't remember what his name was.

Seeing that the boy kept calling her, she hurriedly walked over, and after putting her things away, she looked at the boy with a confused face.

When the young man saw this situation, his face darkened, and he said viciously: "Xu Liuli, you have grown your skills, just one summer vacation, I forgot about you at the same table, I, you are at the same table, Qiao Ming." ”

Xu Liuli patted his head and said, "How can you not remember, I am at the same table, Young Master Qiao, so righteous and so handsome, I won't forget it." I just got in the car and was a little dizzy. Where are you going!" I thought that I hadn't been back for more than 20 years, and it was strange to know you, but fortunately I was smart and quickly changed the topic.

"I don't dare to forget, isn't school about to start? I'll go back to my grandmother's house to stay in Linxian for a few days. By the way, where are you going?"

"Recently, I heard that there are phoenixes in Phoenix, and I wanted to check them out. ”

"Then you know the legend of Phoenix, you don't know, forget it, I'm more kind and generous to popularize knowledge for you!" Qiao Ming said triumphantly, and the subsequent journey was slowly spent in the conversation between the two.

"Phoenix Nirvana" It is said that the phoenix was originally a divine bird in the hands of Zhu Rong, self-immolation of fragrant wood, and then resurrected from the ashes, experiencing the hottest and hottest fire burning in the world, and the beauty is very immortal, also known as the "immortal bird". And Phoenix City is also said to be a phoenix given by God to inspire all things in the world after the phoenix was reborn from the fire.

There is also a saying that "the phoenix hooks the soul", because someone has traced the Phoenix City since its establishment, it has been inhabited within 200 years, but because the phoenix is the messenger of death, responsible for seducing people's souls, there is no one living in the city, until there is a refugee awe of the Phoenix City is stable, but there are still people missing every year.

For these, Xu Liuli said: If you believe it, you don't believe it. Only what you see and touch is real.

Let's take a look today, the main thing is whether she can find some doubts about herself, recently she always feels that her mentality is a little wrong, she will always be suspicious, go to the Tao to watch, and ask for guidance.

It is not very far from Yongcheng to Phoenix, it will arrive in the morning, Xu Liuli left home in order not to worry her family, when she left, she said that she would go to the same school to make up for the class, and she would not go back at noon, eat at the same school, and go back in the evening, so she had to finish the matter today.

After getting out of the car, Xu Liuli said goodbye to Qiao Ming, watched the bus go away, saw the direction clearly, and moved towards the Taoist temple.

Noisy street markets, small shops, the sound of hawkers, pedestrians coming and going, and some tourists watching special items.

In the dark, Xu Liuli felt that something was wrong, and looked up vigilantly, there were two phoenixes leaning on each other on a plane tree, but the direction of her eyes was looking at her position, and for a moment she felt like she was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and she felt trembling.

In the past, Xu Liuli knew the most about the phoenix in the entertainment industry, which was a poem by Sima Xiangru "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"; there is a beautiful person, and I will never forget it; I don't see it for a day, and my thoughts are like crazy; the wind is flying and soaring, and the four seas are looking for the phoenix; the helpless beauty is not on the east wall; I will be replaced by the piano and join hands with each other; I can't fly and make me fall; the phoenix and the phoenix return to my hometown; I travel all over the world to seek its phoenix.

At that time, she was not broken, and her career was in the red. began to yearn for a happy marriage, but I didn't know much about other things about Phoenix.

The two phoenixes leaned on each other, their glittering feathers, dark eyes, and thin pointed beaks, staring at her intently.

I saw Xu Liuli raise her head and think about the moment, two phoenixes flew towards her angrily, Xu Liuli hurriedly bent down and lowered her head to dodge, but she was accidentally scratched on the arm, and blood gushed out, the lady next to her hurriedly grabbed Liuli's hand, helped her tie it, and said, "Girl, have you encountered anything strange recently!"

"Yes, oh, no, no, didn't meet. Xu Liuli wanted to tell the truth, but she still couldn't think of strangers, so she had to keep it secret.

"Girl, don't you say it, the eldest lady also knows that the phoenixes in Phoenix City are all aura, you must have encountered something recently, and the divine bird will be angry with you, you hurry up the mountain to find Li Daochang and ask him to help you solve the hexagram. The eldest lady said to Xu Liuli sincerely in the tone of a passerby.

"Okay, thank you, auntie, then I'll go and see it first. Xu Liuli thought about rushing back as soon as possible, and after thanking the eldest lady, she walked to the mountain.

The road to the mountain is a little rugged, the branches are also very messy, Xu Liuli looks up from the foot of the mountain, the top of the mountain is too high, and the main hall of the Taoist temple seems to be connected with heaven and earth.

Xu Liuli climbed to the top of the mountain with great difficulty, watching the people coming and going in the main hall, she took a deep breath and walked towards the depths of the main hall, and suddenly saw a long man standing in the center of the hall, looking at her quietly.
