**********
The Phoenix Festival is the most important festival of the year in the Phoenix Clan, the festival is set on the hottest day after the summer, the Phoenix Clan has its own set of methods for calculating the day, anyway, I don't understand, this is the result of over-reliance on modern technology.
On this day, the men, women and children of the Phoenix clan will gather at the foot of the Phoenix Sacred Mountain to spend this special festival. It is said that because the phoenix likes heat, it is chosen on the hottest day of summer. It represents the enthusiasm of their phoenix clan.
At the same time, the boys and girls of the Phoenix clan will wear masks, sing and dance, and finally give each other wreaths to express their admiration for each other, which is equivalent to the Chinese Valentine's Day in the world.
By the time we arrived at the Phoenix Clan's holy land, the bonfire had already loomed under the clouds, and the sound of cheerful music also came through the clouds.
Ling became excited: "It's here!" The crane also stood behind him and looked curiously.
I lifted the clouds and looked down, and saw a mountain towering into the clouds, and halfway up the mountain, there was a vast plain, and near the cliff was a huge altar, which I looked familiar with.
"This is the Holy Mountain?" I asked Yu Yu beside me, and she smiled and nodded, "What's wrong?" ”
"I always feel familiar......"
"Yes, maybe you...... Have you ever been here? What she meant was that the Spirit might have come. However, her words reminded me that I did come, but after a thousand white years, I came here, opened the treasure of the Feng family, and also watched the sound of wind and snow buried under the volcano, and that towering mountain was the same volcano.
Ling grabbed me: "Shengjun, go play." ”
I patted him and grabbed my hand: "You and Yu Yu go first, I will take Xiaohe to the holy land to pick phoenix grass, and I will do it in advance." ”
Ling looked at me, and then at Xiaohe, with a little more vigilance in her eyes. Yu Yu stepped forward and grabbed him: "Let's go, Lingshang will give the herbs to Xiaohe as soon as possible, and Xiaohe can leave." ”
Ling suddenly opened her round eyes, narrowed her eyes again, and smiled and walked down with her mask on her face.
The little crane stared at their departing backs, a slight hint of envy in his eyes.
"Want to play?" I looked at his calm face.
He immediately retracted his gaze and lowered his head: "I...... It's not an immortal. ”
"What can't be immortals, let's go, let's go pick phoenix grass, and then take you to play." I turned and headed for the back hill, and it seemed to be a long time before he followed.
The dull little crane, sure enough, different experiences have created different for them. But they all have one thing in common, which is to be cautious. Whether it was the King's Landing Crane in Tianji Palace, or the King's Landing Crane in reality, or the little crane in front of them, they all faced me cautiously and got along with me carefully.
When I came to the entrance of the holy mountain, there were two guards. They seemed to see my identity at a glance, and immediately knelt down on one knee: "Meet the Holy Monarch!" "It seems that I have not yet been crowned, and I have become a saint in their hearts.
"I'm going up the hill to get some phoenix grass." I explained my intentions.
The guard got up and got out of the way, but stopped Xiao He: "But he can't go in, he's not a phoenix." "The guard's eyes were unusually shining, as if they could see through anyone's prototype.
I turned around in embarrassment: "Little crane, or you wait." ”
"Okay." He stood respectfully to the side. The moonlight was hazy, and only the campfire in the distance faintly illuminated his figure.
I walked a few steps and turned back: "That...... What does phoenix grass look like? ”
He was stunned for a moment, and gestured with his hand: "So high, so wide, looks like a phoenix tail, preferably with three leaves, it blooms with red flowers, usually by the lake, in fact, when you see it, you will know that it is a phoenix grass, because it is like a noble phoenix standing with its head held high." He cast his gaze on me, and I nodded in confusion.
Then, he withdrew his gaze and lowered his face again: "It's like...... The Saint Monarch ...... "The low words drifted into the wind, and I turned around and pretended not to hear." Otherwise, I'm going to have an itch again.
The ring finger of my left hand was inexplicably burning, and I tightened my eyebrows, does the ring have magic? Cursed on me? A little depressed.
Walking among the gloomy woods, with the sound of cheerful music behind me, I could no longer see the plain of the party. There were faint clouds around him, making the road in front of him more and more hazy.
Although there is no light in my hand, the Phoenix Clan seems to have excellent eyesight, at least I can see the road in front of me clearly, and it is not difficult. Some birds I've never seen before loom in the woods, their bodies glowing beautifully. One flew in front of me and hid under the leaves, as if playing hide and seek with me.
I just stopped, looked at it with a smile, and moved on.
Immediately after that, more and more birds flew out, and they either stopped above my head or hovered around me, and I went with them, and in my eyes they were like naughty children.
Between the frolic of these little ones, a calm lake looms behind the dense forest, I walked out of the dense forest, this mirror lake is surrounded by dense forests, hidden very deeply, the moonlight is like water tilting on the lake, so beautiful that people are nostalgic. I can't help but think of the lake in Qing, the same tranquility, the same beauty.
The bird stopped at my feet, I scanned the edge of the lake, and the crane said that the phoenix grass was generally on the edge of the lake. Suddenly, an unusually bright red flower came into my eyes, and the strange flower jumped between the grass like a pinch of flame, and I immediately ran there, and suddenly a red shadow crossed my eyes, and it was actually snatched away from the phoenix grass.
I looked at it, it turned out to be a fiery red fox, it was holding the phoenix grass and running towards the dense forest, I hurriedly glanced around, and found that there was no extra phoenix grass, only to follow closely.
Suddenly, an idea came to me to see what this fox was doing when he grabbed the phoenix grass. So, I hid my aura and quietly followed him.
He ran for a long time and stopped, and when he looked back, he was snorting and panting, and when he saw that no one was following, he slowed down, he seemed to be very tired from running, and he moved forward step by step, and slowly, he changed from the form of a fox into a human form, and his body was a red robe that was not bright and even slightly faded, and when he was completely in human form, he stood in front of a cave.
He held on to the entrance of the cave, gasping for breath, and in his other hanging hand, he held the phoenix grass tightly. He turned his head to look again, and the moment the moonlight crossed his face, I almost lost my breath, and although the face was pale as paper and tired, it still had no hair to hide his own charm and handsomeness, the fox eyes that I could never forget, and the faint wound that always lingered in those eyes.
Sanshan, what are you grieving about?
