Chapter Twenty-Three: Encounters

It turns out that you are a Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain......"

After listening to Shang Yi's introduction, Yihao looked at Li Changfeng next to him again. Although he is also a god who has survived the catastrophe, his body is quite thin and he doesn't feel any special spiritual power, and it is probably the cause of the fracture, his face is quite pale, and cold sweat appears on his forehead, and at a glance, it looks like the type that is difficult to let people put their hearts at ease, and I don't know if the Shenmu clan is like this to favor him.

"I'm ashamed to say that although I was born in Maoshan, I have lived too leisurely in the past few hundred years in Penglai, and I have almost forgotten the things taught by my teacher...... That's why it's really ashamed for Brother Tie to see such a wolf bèi......" Hearing Yihao's question, Li Changfeng barely squeezed out a wry smile.

"No, there is no such thing, after all, the other party is a fierce god who has caused the Yellow Emperor a headache, you have forgotten it or not, there is no difference between the Maoshan spell and the ......," Yihao shrugged his shoulders and his gaze fell on Li Changfeng's right leg. After Shang Yi's emergency treatment, the splint of the tree branch fixed the fractured place, and he was already able to walk with a limp. Although in Yihao's opinion, this injury would recover naturally as long as he recuperated for a few weeks, Shang Yi insisted on taking him to the Immortal Palace to find some panacea so that he could recover as soon as possible.

"Forget it, if the result of meeting the Eternal Fierce God is only to break a leg, it is simply the luck of luck, and you don't have to be too disappointed."

Although he thought so, Yihao still comforted Li Changfeng with words, but these words fell into Shang Yi's ears and were regarded as mocking words.

“…… Not all of them have cockroach-like vitality. The Divine Tree Maiden looked at Yihao with a sharp gaze, and then stretched out her hand and pointed to a certain point in front of her. It's here. ”

"It's here...... Where? Yihao raised his eyes and looked in the direction Shang Yi was pointing. It was a bare rocky mountain under the surrounding landscape of deep green nature. Its existence was quite abrupt, and he could feel a fierce fire erupting from the top of the mountain, but there was no shadow of any living beings on the mountain, and in terms of the habitat of the Phoenix Clan, the hill in front of him, which was less than four hundred meters high, seemed too small, so he couldn't help but look at the Divine Tree Maiden with suspicion.

"The Palace of Eternal Life is not on this mountain. However, there is a shortcut to the Burning Mountain Land on the top of the mountain, and from there, it only takes half a day to reach the Immortal Palace, while the rest of the road will take at least two days. Shang Yi explained, and then looked at Yihao with a look of "whichever way you want to go, it's up to you".

“…… Are you sure? Yihao looked at Shang Yi uncertainly.

"Brother Iron. Listen to the next word. At this time, Li Changfeng next to him unexpectedly made a statement. The one Shang Yi said...... That road is a road that only the Phoenix clan can pass, and the others will be burned by the strong fire as long as they get closer, so it's better not to joke with your life. ”

"That's right, that's not a half-baked way, the phoenix can pass, it's better to take a long detour."

"You ......" Yihao looked at the Shenmu girl who persuaded him to cherish life with depressed eyes. Ten seconds ago, she had just given him a message, but her attitude at the moment was completely like forgetting about it.

"Whew......" Yihao exhaled a long breath, but he still felt a turbid qi accumulated in his chest, driven by some irrational emotion, he turned his head to look in the direction of the rocky mountains. …… I'm going to go that way. ”

"Well, let's say goodbye here for a while." Shang Yi nodded calmly, as if he was not strange at all. As a result, Yihao was taken aback.

"Hey!"

"Didn't you just say that? That road can only be led by the Phoenix clan, and Changfeng and I can only take another road. Shang Yi waved at Yihao as if he had taken it for granted. So just leave it for now. ”

"Wait, wait! I've never been to that Burning Mountain. In case you get lost......"

Yi Hao asked a question of common sense, and the merchant of honor instructed him unusually simply.

"No, there is only one road to the top of the mountain, and after entering it, you will be able to go in the hottest direction, and you will be able to reach the Burning Mountain before noon tomorrow."

"Keep going in the hottest direction......" Yihao muttered. A strong sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in my heart.

……………………

"Hahaha, I see, I've been walking in the direction of the hottest place......"

When he came to the top of the mountain, Yihao laughed a few times, although he had a hunch when he smelled the sulfur on the way, the scene on the top of the mountain was still far beyond his imagination.

The dark red color like molten steel boiled under a mountain pass hundreds of meters in diameter, and the air was filled with heat enough to dry his throat, and even through the thick soles of his shoes, there was a hot temperature under his feet. I seem to have seen a similar scene in my memory, but that was when the demons met the True Red Queen in the depths of hell, and the current place is the sacred land of Huaxia.

"Oh yes, isn't this an active volcano......" Yihao stared blankly at the lava lake surging in front of him, and he no longer had the strength to live.

"Sure enough, the path that only a phoenix can walk is completely calculated......," Yihao let out a long sigh. It's impossible to turn back now, and besides, maybe the Shenmu girl is hiding somewhere, looking at this side, maybe even if he is taken as a will, he will never bow to the ghost girl and admit defeat.

"What's next...... You can't tell me to swim in a lava lake, right? ”

Yihao looked around, and noticed a cavern in the corner of the lava lake, where dark red magma was slowly flowing into the lava lake, which seemed to lead to the source of the lava, but Yihao was not sure that it was

direction.

Even if he has the blood of a phoenix, rushing down the lava lake like this, he will definitely only be burned to the end, so Yihao took a deep breath and expanded his own divine domain.

In an instant, the flames spread out in all directions in an extremely violent form, and Yihao pulled the unrestrained flames with willpower and slowly pulled them back. The surging flames converge inward with Yihao as the center, from 10 meters in diameter to 5 meters in diameter, and then from 5 meters in diameter to 3 meters in diameter...... As it continued to converge, the flames became brighter and brighter, and the color gradually changed from crimson to bright white, and finally the color of the flames turned to gold when only about one meter was left.

At the same time as the flames turn golden. Yihao also lost his sense of the outside temperature, neither cold nor hot, and in the golden-colored divine domain, the temperature itself had lost its meaning.

Yihao looked at the golden flames around him in disbelief, but subconsciously remembered the time when the fire phoenix that almost caused a natural disaster on the Aegean Sea came back to his senses. Suddenly a little more weight on my shoulders. A fiery red flamingo landed on his shoulder, and the flaminbird's whole body was covered with blazing red feathers, and although it was only the size of a pigeon, its body was elegant and slender. A pair of pale blue eyes were casting a friendly look at him.

"Huh?" Yi Hao looked at the unknown firebird in amazement, but before he could react, the firebird had already flapped its wings and flew with its long tail, sprinkling crimson fire powder along the way, drawing an elegant line of fire in the air and throwing it into the cave, obviously showing him the way.

So Yihao chased after him.

……………………

Overhead is a crimson rock face that looks like a flame crystallization. Beneath his feet was the foundation of the rock that had been burned by the heat to the point of soft mud, and in front of him was the dark red lava flowing in the middle of nowhere, and the tip of his nose was filled with the smell of sulfur, and from time to time there was a popping sound in his ears, which was the sound of intermittent lava erupting, and in this chaotic world filled with fire and heat, the fiery red figure in the horizon was the only sign indicating the way forward.

Yihao chased the firebird in the cave. The Golden Divine Domain shielded him from the heat of the lava field, but at the same time, it continued to drain his strength. When the hard ground turned from soft and half-hard lava under his feet, Yihao knew that he would never be able to hold on. Then, when considering the distance to turn back and the distance ahead, he would rather choose the latter among certain hopeless and uncertain hopes.

"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

The Golden Divine Domain had shrunk to the point that only a thin layer of space around the body that had no temperature could no longer isolate the heat of the surrounding lava. The heat of breath is like drying your lungs. The hiking shoes under his feet have long been burned to charcoal ashes, and now every step feels like walking on coals, in order to reduce the heat of contact with the soles of his feet, the body subconsciously spends his pace, but this reaction makes the body that is already close to the exhaustion of oil lamps deplete more quickly.

As he stepped over a semi-soft rock floating on a river of lava, a stream of lava erupted intermittently, and Yihao lost his balance and fell into the river of lava to avoid the lava attack. Perhaps because of the influence of the Golden Divine Domain, he was not immediately swallowed by the lava as he imagined, and the lava carried him like water, but it brought indescribable heavy pressure to the limbs and bones, and the high temperature continued to erode the thin Divine Domain.

Yihao remembered the pain of being burned by boiling water when he was a child, but at this moment, the same feeling came from the skin of his whole body, and he even felt death, the sound of cold breathing sounded in his ears, and his skin exploded goosebumps while being burned.

"Hmm......" When he was about to be swallowed up by the lava river, Yihao's vision drifted over a corner of the shore, and he saw that the firebird of unknown origin stopped on the shore, and his head turned in his direction, and his eyes seemed to be filled with a smile as if the conspiracy had succeeded.

The next moment, the lava river engulfed him, and the Golden Divine Domain disappeared at the same time.

……………………

Burning Mountain is located in the center of the Suzaku Domain, is one of the leyline settlements that flow through Penglai, and is also the source of the underground lava river, but because the lava river is buried quite deep underground, the surface of the Burning Mountain has not been greatly affected, and you can still see many heat-resistant low shrubs, and one or two ancient trees can often appear in it. The babbling water of the stream flows down the stone bed, and unlike other places, the surface of the stream is covered with a thick mist, and the hot spring water that bubbles up from the ground has a temperature close to boiling, which can be seen everywhere on the mountain.

The hot springs gushing out of the source have a high temperature of almost 100 degrees, even for the spirit beasts of Penglai, it is an unbearable temperature, and most of them choose to bathe downstream at a lower temperature, so the pure hot springs from the source have become the exclusive property of the Phoenix family. Although the inhabitants of the downstream are treated to bath water that others have used all day long, they do not have the ability to treat lava as nothing as they do, so it is impossible for them to make any objections to it.

Since ancient times, the phoenix has been regarded as an auspicious beast, a natural enemy of yin and evil things, the embodiment of justice and justice, and a heavenly sword that punishes evil demons, "noble", "upright" and "jealous and hateful" These three words are enough to describe the impression of the phoenix clan in the hearts of Penglai residents, but in addition to this, they are also a nation that knows how to enjoy.

A hot spring gushes from the top of Mt. Burn. It was divided into two strands by an abrupt rock, which merged into two heavenly pools not far from each other, and then flowed downstream. The two heavenly pools have an area large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and the female phoenix and the male wind each occupy one of them, although two

There is no shelter and only a few clusters of low shrubs in between. This kind of thing has not happened since the Phoenix clan settled in Penglai. For the phoenix clan, it is unimaginable to be naked in front of others, and of course, the consequences of this will be even more severe. Therefore, even the water dragon clan, who have always been frivolous, did not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

Huang Yin bathes in the Tianchi every day after morning exercises, and the warm spring water can cool her skin burned by exercise, giving her an indescribable sense of comfort. The clear spring water flowed from the top of the rock like silk through the girl's skin, and a large amount of water vapor rose from the girl's skin, and the female phoenixes who witnessed this scene could not help but sigh in admiration.

Even though the Phoenix clan has universal beauty. And Huang Yin is still the best of them.

A crimson but soft silk that looks like a flame condensed down to the waist spills red powder when shaken gently, like a little red like a firefly, chasing the silk. The color of the eyes is reminiscent of molten steel, a fiery red with a huge amount of heat. It is said that these fiery eyes are proof of having the purest phoenix bloodline, and whenever they are stared at by these burning eyes, the young male phoenixes will unconsciously bow their heads. And it also makes the female phoenixes extremely envious.

Huang Yin's height is almost not lost to the males of the same race, and with the heroic beauty, it will give birth to some kind of overwhelming courage, and the young generation of the little phoenix can't resist this kind of courage at all, and this is also the reason why she was chosen by the elders to be the supervisor of the Young Academy, but because the clothes of the supervisor are a loose robe that completely covers the curves of the body. Therefore, there are also many young male phoenixes who secretly resent the decision of the elders, but they don't have the courage to bring it up.

Although she was admired by many male phoenixes at the same time, Huang Yin didn't take them to heart at all, not that she wasn't interested in love, but she currently preferred the feeling of cultivation. She is young and elite, and she also has an innate talent, in addition to completing the affairs of the Young Academy's supervision, she spends the rest of her time every day on self-improvement, only thinking about flying higher and seeing farther, and now there is an unprecedented opportunity that has befallen her.

"Is the selection of the four clans......

Huang Yin subconsciously clenched her fists, a high-spirited emotion raised her head in her heart, and the fire on her body immediately increased, the hot spring water that was already close to boiling was even more violently steamed at this moment, and the churning water mist converged into a pillar of fog that rose into the sky, mixed with bright red fire powder, and drifted around, just like a fantasy landscape, and the phoenixes who witnessed this scene were all amazed.

"Hoo ......"

Slightly venting the excitement in her heart, Huang Yin exhaled and sat down, soaking her whole body in the comfortable hot spring, but the thick mist around her obscured her vision, so she didn't notice a suspicious object floating on the surface of the lake not far away. The humanoid object that seemed to be floating on the surface of the lake did not move at all, as if it was sinking and floating like dead wood, and slowly approached Huang Yin under the drive of the current, while on the other hand, the phoenix girl who was enjoying herself with her eyes closed completely relaxed her vigilance, so that the suspicious object entered the danger area effortlessly.

"Speaking of which, today is the day when the child enters the Young School, so you have to prepare early......

Huang Yin thought of the little phoenix that was brought back to Penglai a few days ago, and the corners of his mouth curled into a gentle smile. The elders have confirmed that the child named Hongji has half of the phoenix blood flowing on his body, but the other half is the blood of the gods who don't know where it is, and they have never heard of the existence of a phoenix outside the Kyushu Divine Land, so the elders are unusually concerned about Hongji, especially handing over the little phoenix to her to take care of, and for Huang Yin, who has not yet stepped into the palace of supremacy, this is undoubtedly a novel challenge.

"Huh?"

Huang Yin, who was thinking about getting the little phoenix up later, suddenly felt a wonderful touch on her chest as the water waves swayed, and she opened her eyes in surprise, but what caught her eyes was a black head with a burnt end, and a face that she had never seen before. At this moment, the messy black hair was against her breasts, and the unfamiliar face was so close that she could almost feel a faint breath.

"What......"

Far beyond the limit of surprise, Huang Yin couldn't react for a while, his eyes subconsciously extended forward, swept the man's broad chest muscles, and naturally fell to the pillar of optimus that broke out of the water, perhaps it was the stimulation brought by the boiling spring water, at this moment, the thing was towering high with unprecedented ferocity, and the phoenix girl, who had never seen this thick object, could only look blankly at the scene in front of her that could not be explained by common sense.

Time paused for more than five seconds in shock, and the head on the girl's chest suddenly moved, and at the same time let out a moan that seemed to be comfortable, and as an opportunity, the next moment the calm Tianchi set off a stormy wave......
