Chapter 11: The Legend
"Magical?" Mo Li's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "There is something more magical, I am talking about the phoenix, which is known as an immortal bird, which can be reborn every thousand years, the phoenix is a treasure from head to toe, and even tears are good things."

"Tears?" Pothos was speechless, "What use are tears?" ”
"It is said that the tears of the phoenix can make people remember the events of their previous lives more or less." Saying that, Mo Li sighed, and said in a voice that was not without regret: "The Meigu clan is good, but in the end, they also paid a heavy price. ”
Seeing that everyone could hear the mystery, she continued: "It is said that since the five phoenixes of the Immortal Mountain left the Mei Gu Zhu to their descendants, this Mei Gu Zhu has been coveted by the world. Until a thousand years ago, the martial arts masters of all ethnic groups on the Canglan Continent gradually rose, and there was a round of bloody rain of rushing to rush to the bone beads. I heard that the battle lasted three days and three nights, and those people didn't even let go of the bones of the Meigu clan, and the tragic situation can be imagined. ”
"So what happened in the end?" Pothos continued to ask.
"In the end, the Meigu clan suffered an unprecedented purge, the dead died, the wounded, and some people couldn't accept the departure of their relatives and committed suicide directly!"
Guo Tong was stunned, and said sullenly: "It's too miserable! ”
"It's really miserable!" Mo Li nodded, "Listen to my master, seven days after that great purge, all the people of the Meigu Clan, as well as the five immortal mountains, disappeared together. Cangmei Country has not been found in the Canglan Continent since then, and no one has ever found the trace of the five Meigu beads, and on this continent, even people with signs of the Meigu people have never found it again. ”
After talking so much, Guo Xiaoxin finally figured it out, and couldn't help blurting out, "Auntie, do you mean that I look like a person from the Meigu clan?" ”
Mo Li smiled and touched Guo Tongxin's head, "It's really like, the body is soft and boneless." However, it is said that the women of the Meigu clan have a strange body fragrance, which you don't have. And when the Five Immortals Mountain disappeared, it was a thousand years ago, and it was very far away from us, and now I think about it is a legend. Saying that, she paused, and then said with a straight face: "But you also have to be careful, after all, there are still people in this world who know this legend, in case someone treats you as a member of the Meigu clan and wants to get your bones, then don't you have to live and tremble every day?" Finally, he added, "That's why I said you still know how to work hard." ”
"Miss, Aunt Mo is right." The pothos nodded in agreement.
Qu Suyi blinked her eyes, thoughtfully, pursed her mouth and thought about it for a while, but finally didn't say anything.
Next, Mo Li didn't mention the matter of accepting Guo Tongxin as an apprentice, but before leaving, she left a conch of sound transmission, saying that if she wanted to cultivate her vitality, she could use this conch to transmit sound to her.
Guo Xiaoxin took the conch, and then Mo Li left with the scales of the blue-eyed silver-scaled beast. said that she still had to look around for the blue-eyed silver-scaled beast, and when the scales were enough, she returned to the mountain to concentrate on sewing the armor for her senior brother.
Three months later, Guo Xiaoxin and his party finally arrived in Cloud Wilderness City.
**********************
A year and a half later
It's July, and the sun is scorching. The heat has not disappeared, and the cicadas are making noise.
Even the Cloud Desert City, which has always been wet and rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, has become scorched by the high temperature that has been like a stream of fire for several days. Not only are the trees outside the window hanging their heads listlessly, but even the streets are sparsely populated and difficult to find.
At noon, the sun is getting hotter and hotter, and the weather is as hot as living in a steamer.
Located in the northernmost Qu Mansion of Cloud Wasteland City, some of the masters took a nap in the house, some rested around a basin of ice cubes, and even the maids and servants hid in the shade to escape the heat, and the whole courtyard was silent.
At this moment, only a courtyard called Dark Incense Pavilion located in the northwest corner of the Qu Mansion gradually moved.
Guo Tongxin cautiously slipped out of his house, first looked around with his eyes wide open, then crept past his mother's window with the maid pothos, and then looked around again to make sure that there was no one, then he slipped out of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, and lightly walked around the garden full of flowers and trees, and then came to the northeasternmost wall of the Qu house.
The pothos replaced the umbrella with her hand, and followed behind her young lady with a pouting mouth.
She couldn't figure it out, in such a hot weather that even felt like breathing, the whole world seemed to be quiet, only this young lady, who couldn't bear loneliness by nature, still wanted to run out.
However, when she saw the small and narrow dog hole in front of her, the facial features on her face instantly distorted, and she said in a complaining tone: "Miss, let's drill the dog hole again?" ”
Guo Tong didn't reply, "Otherwise? Unless you know how to fly. ”
The pothos had no choice but to look at the sky speechlessly.
Guo Tongxin, who saw the dog cave, was the opposite of the pothos, not only was she not depressed, but she was very excited.
She strode over to the dog hole, first shrunk her shoulders, then bent down and hugged her arms tightly, and then crawled straight over. While crawling, he hummed and said, "This dog hole is getting harder and harder to drill, it seems that I have gained weight." ”
As soon as she heard this, the face of the pothos became more and more ugly, and she continued to complain: "Miss, it's not that you have gained weight, but that we have all grown up. It's not easy to drill even with such a thin figure as you, slave maid, I'm two years older than you! ”
If you want to talk about this dog hole, the pothos has been drilling with Qu Tongxin for more than a year. At first, it was okay, both of them were thin and small, and they came and went freely. But now more than a year has passed, Guo Xiaoxin is ten years old, and Luluo is twelve years old. Still getting in and out of this dog hole, it is indeed difficult to feel.
Guo Xiaoxin, who had already drilled through, came back and found that the embarrassed pothos was still measuring the width of the dog hole with his body, for fear that he would not be able to drill through and be trapped. couldn't help laughing, "Pothos, let's not sleep tomorrow night, say anything to widen this dog hole, so that you can come and go more freely." ”
This time, the pothos put on a bitter gourd face, leaning down and crawling into the dog hole, while chattering, "Miss, do you still want to drill the dog hole for the rest of your life?" If no one knows, unless you do it, you will be discovered sooner or later. It's okay if it's found out by Mrs., at most it's just a few nagging, but if it's found out by your uncle, it's going to seal the dog hole, and you don't know how to do it to you, Miss......"
On such a hot day, just thinking of the fierce appearance of his uncle and wife, the pothos shuddered.
Guo Xiaoxin didn't listen to the pothos's ramblings, she squatted outside the dog hole, her hands on her cheeks, her eyes stared directly at the pothos sandwiched in the dog hole, and she didn't look anywhere else, but stared at the pothos's chest. Looking at it, it seems that there is content in the eyes.
The green pothos was straightened by her, and she raised her face and said, "Little, miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Pothos, you say!" Guo Tongxin leaned forward in a serious manner, and asked the pothos with a little mystery.
