Inside the cave.

The snow boy was surrounded by a cold breath, and the tiny moisture oozing from the rock wall had frozen into a very thin layer of ice.

And the phoenix fire over there.

It's the exact opposite.

The scorching flames evaporated the water, and streams of hot gas rose into the sky, eventually gathering on the top of the cave.

The nine-tailed fox on the side who was bound by the spirit technique.

When he saw the Snow Boy, there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes, probably because the Snow Boy would appear in this place.

And when you are in danger, come to your aid, and feel strange and confused.

After all.

The Snow Boy had resolutely left him when he was angry with the people of Heianjing.

It's unimaginable to be able to see each other now, not to mention that the snow boy is still here to help him.

"Phoenix Fire, let's do it."

Genji Onmyoji, who was embroidered with the Sasaso Gentian family crest on his body, looked at the phoenix fire and said to her.

Apparently.

They've been delayed here for too long, and if they keep going like this, they're worried that more things will happen.

The appearance of the Guhou Bird and the Snow Boy has proved this.

It's not so easy to really take Tamamo away, and it's even hard and difficult, because there are other monsters around Tamamo.

Even though it is rumored that Tamamo has always been alone.

But there are many youkai looking up, admiring, and envious of Tamamo in front of the ......

A red flame gathered in the hands of the phoenix fire, and the flames were thrown out by the phoenix fire towards the snow boy, who did not respond.

Because, the ice and snow around him will naturally block these simple attacks for him.

Ice and snow converge into a shield.

The flame suddenly stopped when it touched the snow and ice, and then gradually extinguished. For Snow Boy, there is really no need to care about such an attack.

"Phoenix Fire, the monster that once chased the ancient gods and obtained the power bestowed by the gods, the power is far more than that."

Snow Boy's gaze still looked like a sense of compassion.

Not sure why.

The Snow Boy is always like this, he looks like a child, but he gives people a feeling of compassion for all beings like a god.

"Use your true strength. If I can block it, then ...... Please leave that Onmyoji. The phoenix was supposed to soar over the worlds of Kyushu and bless all creatures. Instead of being ordered by humans, even if you are not a phoenix, you are burdened with the faith and will that the phoenix gives you. ”

The snow boy looked at the phoenix fire and said slowly.

The Snow Boy once met the ancient monster Snow Maiden in the snowy mountains, and under her teaching and raising, she was able to survive in the snowy mountains.

I was also able to master the powerful power of ice and snow.

Then.

The Snow Girl died on an ordinary day, and the sadness of the Snow Boy made the wind and snow in the snowy mountains wail for three days and three nights.

The blizzard hovers in the snowy mountains, and no one can approach it.

The snow-capped mountain has become a place full of sorrow for the snow boy, so he left the snow-capped mountain alone, wanting to find a new meaning to live.

The Snow Boy is powerful.

Outside of the snowy mountains, he met many humans and many youkai, but most of them were weak.

The weak ones are like snowflakes.

However, there is one youkai that is different, his name is Tamamomae, and his body is a nine-tailed fox.

When he met Tamamo, he didn't look any different from an ordinary human, but at that time, Tamamo and the shrine maiden were walking in the jungle after the snow melted, carrying the stream of residual snow, flowing slowly, everything was revived, and everything was full of life.

When Snow Boy saw the shrine maiden's eyes looking at Tamamo, he seemed to see the most beautiful thing in the world.

Pure.

The Snow Boy chose to stay here.

In the days that followed, Snow Boy had been secretly watching Tamamo and the shrine maiden, and this period of time was very long and sweet.

……

Phoenix Fire looked at the Snow Boy a little blankly, after all, leaving her master, such a thing, she hadn't thought about it.

The phoenix allows her to comprehend other meanings of life.

Then.

She skimmed the clouds and flew to the earth, everything in the world made her feel fresh, these things, she did not pay attention to when she was chasing the phoenix.

However, she doesn't seem to be able to find anything other than following the phoenix that deserves to be called the meaning of life.

No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will eventually wither.

The seasons are constantly changing, and everything in the world seems to be like this.

"What is the meaning of life?"

The phoenix walked in the world blankly, and the stream left with the falling flowers, reflecting her fiery and beautiful figure.

A pebble fell into the stream.

Originally, it was just a slowly flowing stream, but now there were layers of ripples, and the self in the stream became blurred.

The phoenix fire raised its head.

"You're a youkai?"

A young man in a black hunting suit looked at Phoenix Fire with a clear gaze and asked.

"Hmm."

Phoenix Fire replied.

Even though the boy in front of him had already discovered that he was a monster, Phoenix Fire didn't feel a trace of fear from that young man.

This is what makes it different from other humans.

Most of the other humans, as long as they knew that she was a youkai, fled in terror.

"Am I scary?"

Phoenix Fire had asked himself this, many times, many times.

She had no ill will towards humans, and she didn't want to hurt them, but they were all so afraid of herself, as if she shouldn't have come to the world.

"Phoenix, is it wrong......

Phoenix Fire even sometimes has such thoughts, and whenever such thoughts come up, Phoenix Fire will be extremely uncomfortable.

For Phoenix Fire, questioning Phoenix is no different from questioning its own existence.

"What are you looking for?"

The young man continued to ask, and even moved a little closer to the phoenix fire, but there was still a slowly flowing stream between them.

"The meaning of life."

Phoenix Fire looked at the young man in front of him and replied to him.

Although I don't know why I told such a thing to a young human, Phoenix Fire felt an indescribable sense of relief when he said it.

"Can't you find it?"

The boy asked.

"Hmm...... Still looking for ......."

Phoenix Fire bowed his head, and his shadow appeared in the stream again, fiery red and glamorous, but it was not liked by anyone......

"Come with me, I'll give you a meaning to live."

When the young man said this, the expression on his face was very sincere, and there was no trace of wanting to deceive Phoenix Fire.

"Really?"

Phoenix Huo looked a little excited, after all, it seemed that she would soon be able to complete the new task given to her by Phoenix.

Thereafter.

After the boy held a ceremony, he signed a contract with Phoenix Fire, and Phoenix Fire also got the meaning of life that he had been looking for......

At that moment, Phoenix Fire was happy, and until now, it is still so.

……

Ice, snow, fire, and the inside of the cave have become clear.

"I don't want to leave my master!"

Phoenix Fire's body underwent some changes, and the flames began to scorch her human body, looking like there was some pain.

But.

Soon the human body slowly disappeared, and a large bird with a burning flame appeared.

It's a phoenix.

In the high-pitched phoenix roar, the phoenix flew towards the snow boy, and the scorching flames spit out from the phoenix's mouth.

It looks like it has the power to destroy the world.

The surrounding rocks quickly melted away after touching the flames spit out by the phoenix, and huge streams of water vapor rose into the air in the forest of Qingmang Mountain.

"Is this the power of the ancient gods?"

The Snow Boy's eyes looked up at the phoenix flying in the air, and his eyes gradually became serious.

"Frost Weave!"

The ice and snow quickly extended out from the snow boy's feet, and soon, the surrounding environment was completely covered, and as far as the eye could see, it was all white.

Ice and snow are like silver dragons, circling and dancing beside the snow boy.

The scorching flames spewed out by the phoenix melted the nearby ice and snow, destroying several ice and snow silver dragons hovering beside the snow boy.

The flames break through the Snow Boy's defenses.

Seeing that it is about to touch the body of the snow boy, the divine fire of the phoenix, even if it is a monster, is difficult to bear.

"Moonlight Snow: The Final Scene!"

The snow boy suddenly disappeared in place, a white expanse of snow, and a round of cold moon gradually rose.

The moon seemed to be surrounded by a vague layer of mist.

There is no way to see the moon clearly.

Phoenix looked around her, her eyes wandering, she couldn't find the Snow Boy, just as she had never found the meaning of her life.

The phoenix at the moment.

Once again, I fell into confusion......

Around the blurred cold moon, a scorching flame seemed to appear, and when that flame first appeared, the phoenix fire raised its head and forgot about it.

"Phoenix!"

The phoenix fire let out a mournful roar and changed into a human form again, tears streaming from its eyes......

The phoenix flame flew towards the flame.

The flame remained in the cold moon, did not move forward, but appeared there quietly.

As the phoenix fire approached, the flame became bigger and bigger, and it became clearer and clearer, and finally, the phoenix fire saw itself in the cold moon......

……

Cave.

Phoenix Fire wakes up from the illusion of the Snow Boy's "Hazy Moon Snow Final Scene".

The surroundings turned into a pitch-black cave again, and behind her, there were Tsuru Weng and the dozen or so Onmyoji, including her master, of course.

"I blocked your most powerful attack......"

The Snow Boy's voice sounded, making the phoenix fire's gaze fall on the Snow Boy's body, and the Snow Boy suspended in the air had a far-reaching and profound gaze.

"I know how to do it."

Phoenix Fire looked at the Snow Boy and said to him.

At this time, Phoenix Fire had already understood that although he was a monster, he was different from those ordinary monsters in the world.

She follows the Phoenix.

In the end, she got the power given to her by the phoenix, and she should be like a phoenix, soaring in the world, bringing hope and faith to all things in the world.

It's like, at the beginning, the phoenix was to her......

"The host ,......"

Phoenix Fire walked up to Genji Onmyoji, who had a red sasa gentian family crest embroidered on his clothes, and called him softly, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"Have you found it yet?"

The onmyoji looked at the phoenix fire and asked her. With a reluctant smile on his face.

Although he is Genji Onmyoji.

But it's just a very ordinary little onmyoji, if there is no phoenix fire, he may be depressed for the rest of his life.

"Hmm."

Phoenix Fire replied.

"Let's go."

The Onmyoji, after speaking, directly terminated the contract with Phoenix Fire, because only in this way can Phoenix Fire be truly free.

For his approach, Tsuru Weng did not stop him.

After all.

The phoenix fire has been defeated by the Snow Boy, and it doesn't have much effect to stay, but the crane Weng as a person who cultivates the way of yin and yang.

He also understood that there are subtle connections between everything in the world.

And the Onmyoji, in most cases, can only follow those seemingly non-existent "mandates". There is no way to leave the phoenix fire.

After all.

The phoenix fire should not have belonged to that onmyoji in the first place, but it was only owned by him for a period of time in a certain period of lost time.

This is already a kind of favor for him.

……

Phoenix Fire slowly walked out of the cave and walked towards the same pitch-black Qingmang Mountain outside.

And then.

Turning into a big bird with flames all over its body, it soared into the air and went straight into the nine skies, leaving only a phoenix chirping in the sky, echoing in the originally silent night sky......

……

Inside the cave.

The Snow Boy was still standing at the mouth of the cave, the man who had come to protect Tamamo, the man who had shown him the most beautiful things in the world.

"If you want to leave, just leave Tamamo-mae-samae, stay."

The Snow Boy looked at them and said slowly.

Snow Boy didn't want to kill, he hated killing, and it was precisely because of this that he resolutely left Tamamo after burning down the mountains outside Heiankyo in front of Tamamo and letting the people who went to worship be buried in the fire.

"Crane Weng, what should I do?"

The Onmyoji behind him looked at Tsuru Weng and asked him.

The Snow Boy had already killed the four Heavenly Evil Ghost brothers, and then defeated the Phoenix Fire, and his strength had been shown in front of them.

Now for them, a choice must be made.

"Wait a little longer."

Tsuruong replied.

Although Crane Weng was already frowning at this moment, he did not give up directly, because in his heart, he felt that there was still a glimmer of hope.

That's the White Treasurer!

Now the White Tibetan Lord is still fighting with the Gu Bird, but the Gu Bird obviously can't beat the White Treasure Lord, so Crane Weng wants to wait for the White Tibetan Lord to defeat the Gu Bird.

Then, let the White Treasure Lord compete with the Snow Boy in front of him.

Although the Snow Boy is powerful, the power of the White Treasure Lord is not so limited, and this monster contains some powerful resentment in his heart.

This resentment can make his strength break through the confinement......
