Ji You's face turned pale.

"Jiangjiu, no......"

Why did he say that?

The situation that he had never encountered before caught Ji You a little off guard, he wanted to refute, wanted to deny it loudly, told Jiang Jiu, and told him, "Your idea is wrong, there must be some misunderstanding"......

Jiangjiu is also waiting. Wait for him to answer, no matter what the reason, he will accept it.

But.

Ji You opened his mouth for a long time, but for some reason, he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Jiang Jiu's expression darkened, "Ji You, has my liking bothered you?" So you avoided me so much? ”

Hearing this, Chongming and Qiu Yiya raised their eyes at the same time, Chai Qing and they were even more stunned by this sudden and frank remark, Lan Weizhi looked at Ji You's even more pale face with a deep expression, and took a sip of tea.

"No......" Ji You hurriedly explained. No, I don't think it's ......."

"Don't feel anything?"

Jiang Jiu suddenly laughed, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth was very reluctant and a little sarcastic.

"Ji You, you weren't surprised at all when I said the word 'like'."

"......" is over.

Ji You was in a panic, and he didn't care about covering it up at all.

"I never seem to have officially confessed to you, so you're actually ...... I've known this for a long time, right? That's why they didn't say goodbye, and they were even indifferent to my hints. ”

Ever since Ji You suddenly left S City, Jiang Jiu had thought countless times about what would happen when they met again, but the truth was often even more cruel.

"You said you wanted to join EA to become a Stranger and find your uncle." Jiang Jiu touched the things in his pocket, and the small square box, with some sharp edges and corners on his palms and finger bones, also smashed into his heart.

"But after you left, you remembered to tell me, didn't you deliberately avoid me, what else could it be?"

Ji You shook his head vigorously, and put his hands on his lap at a loss, "No, you listen to me!" ”

However, Jiang Jiu stood up and said, "It's okay now, Ah You, we are in an antagonistic relationship now, you don't have to hide from me." ”

As he spoke, he walked away a little more resolutely, as if he was afraid that Ji You would say something like "I'm sorry I don't like you".

Ji You was really about to cry, his eyes were a little red, he hated himself very much why he couldn't even say a normal word at this time.

Qiu Yiya coolly fanned the wind at the door, "Rookie, if you don't like it, just say it directly, don't let some people create misunderstandings with wishful thinking." ”

Jiang Jiu glared fiercely.

"Qiu Yiya, don't make a mess at this time, okay......" Ji You had an even more headache.

At this moment, the boss Zhang Long came over after arranging the affairs of the deceased and said: "A few warlocks, since you want to investigate and help, I won't say much else, if you don't plan to stay here for a long time, please leave this morning after the investigation." ”

Lan Weizhi got up and raised his eyebrows and asked, "This seems to be different from what Boss Zhang said to us at the beginning." ”

Zhang Long looked at Mingqiu Yiya and his party, and said lightly: "You have angered the Phoenix God, otherwise, the time of death will not be advanced." ”

Ji You was still depressed, but when he heard something related to the mission, he also cheered up.

Chai Qing asked rhetorically: "What do you mean by this, please tell us in detail from the boss." ”

“…… It seems that none of the Soul Slayers know much about the situation. ”

Zhang Long made a posture of inviting to sit, except for Chongming and Qiu Yiya, who were still standing freely, everyone sat down nearby and listened to him.

According to legend, the phoenix, who finally became the king of birds in the world, came to the world to experience and accumulate merits according to the will of the emperor, and then he could be promoted from an immortal to a godhead. Hundreds of years have passed, and the phoenix in human form has brought new hope to the human world, protecting them from the interference of demons, but ......"

Zhang Long's vicissitudes of life infected everyone's emotions, and Ji You seemed to be able to imagine how high-spirited the phoenix was in the distant period through his words.

Zhang Long paused, his eyes closed, as if he was recalling the story that had been passed down from generation to generation in the family.

However, something happened later, and the phoenix fell into the world. However, fortunately, the phoenix was once enlightened by the gods in the heavenly realm, and was able to preserve its soul, and after the nirvana once in 500 years, it will be reborn in the world's purest fire - reproducing the myth of the world. ”

"Our ancestors lived on this land for hundreds of years and never left. Because back then, the ancestors of the Zhang family were helped by the god of the phoenix, and the place where the phoenix fell, the ancestors said, was on this land. ”

Ji You subconsciously blurted out and said in surprise: "What? Right here?! ”

Lan Weizhi's expression was gloomy, and Jiang Jiu glanced at each other casually, but did not speak. Chongming, who was not far away, was thoughtful, and his indifferent face did not show any obvious emotion.

"Yes." Zhang Long froze and looked up at Ji You. "That's why the ancestors named this place 'Youxian Village'. Because the phoenix was accidentally recognized by the villagers at that time, the identity of the immortal was accidentally discovered by the villagers, and the villagers were asked not to spread it, which roughly explained the purpose of the lower realm to accumulate merit and become a god. ”

He glanced at the crowd and finally said, "But in the hearts of their ancestors, the kind phoenix has long been a god. He privately called him the god of the phoenix. ”

Chongming suddenly interrupted Zhang Cang's words to continue, "There are still a few years, until the time for Phoenix Nirvana to be reborn." ”

Zhang Long was stunned when asked, he didn't expect someone to be so keen to find the key, "There are still nearly a year and a half, but when will it ......?"

Qin Zhen and Chai Qing's faces suddenly changed, obviously, they had just thought of what was the meaning behind Colonel Chongming's question.

Chai Qing finally understood why Zhang Lang didn't welcome these "soul killers" very much.

"So Boss Zhang, do you want to say that we are afraid that our arrival will disturb the resurrection of the Phoenix God?"

####

When I went back, it was almost dawn, and Gu Danqing seemed to be still asleep in the house, so everyone tacitly agreed to do it on the sofa in the living room and did not go back to rest.

Everyone is digesting what Zhang Long just said.

Ji You's heart was a little confused, he leaned against the corner of the sofa, thinking about what Lan Weizhi told him to become competitors with each other in the future, and Jiang Jiu's angry and sad questioning sounded in his mind.

The matter of the Phoenix God made him even more unable to figure it out.

Of course, Deputy Captain Chai is also, "The legend will be put aside, even with such a background, isn't it even more strange to have a place?" ”

Qin Zhen and Yu Xiao both nodded, "Yes, since it is said that the God of the Phoenix is sheltering here, then why did a thriving place suddenly occur a few years ago with such a strange death?" No one wants to care yet? ”

Qiu Yiya thought for a while and said, "That Zhang Cage, there must be something important hidden from us." ”
