After sending Dongfang Peng away, Chen Feng returned to the inner house again to accompany Rong'er and Xiao Xuanxuan. With his family, Chen Feng also enjoyed this quiet and leisurely day.

"By the way, where have Xiao Zi and the stinky fart been recently? It's been a long time since I've seen them. Chen Feng couldn't help but wonder. At least I haven't seen those two little ones in a few days.

"I don't know, I should go out and play. By the way, a few days ago, I seemed to hear Xiaoqing chirping and encouraging Xiao Ziying to go to the Tianshui Forest to play. The little maid Xiao Xiao said: "Those two little guys are very active, how can they be willing to be bored in the mansion." ”

"These two little guys are really bold, there are so many warriors in the Tianshui Forest, and they are not afraid of being abducted and trafficked." Chen Feng was a little helpless and said. I didn't worry too much in my heart, Little Purple Eagle was a noble emperor-level spirit beast, his strength grew very fast, and his cultivation was already extremely close to the Martial Saint level, and his speed was so fast that he was perverted, and it was very difficult to catch Little Purple Eagle.

When it came to Little Purple Eagle, Chen Feng couldn't help but miss the little black dog a little. It's been a long time since I've seen Xiao Erhei, when Chen Feng was seriously injured and dying, the little black dog was very sad and kept by Chen Feng's side. It shouldn't have known that Chen Feng was still alive. As soon as that little guy arrived in the Heavenly Martial Realm, he went out to practice, and he didn't know what happened now.

……

The mountain breeze is blowing, and the top of the lonely peak.

"Qi Qi Second House Lord, our people have explored the entire Immortal Domain, and they have not found the whereabouts of the Third Palace Lord." On the top of the mountain, an old woman reported to a woman in blue with short hair.

"Hmm." The short-haired woman in blue turned her head slightly, her eyes turned in the direction of the west, and her lips opened slightly. "If it's not in the Immortal Realm, then it should be in the Heavenly Martial Realm."

"But. Second House Lord, the Heavenly Martial Realm is not our sphere of influence. I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult to probe. The old woman said.

"Well, you and I will split up. You're in charge of the northwest direction, and I'm in charge of the southwest direction. The short-haired woman in blue moved her eyes and said, "Be more careful!" ”

"Okay, don't worry, there are only some lowly martial artists living in the martial arts world that day." The old woman said casually.

"Granny Huang, don't be careless." The short-haired woman in blue frowned slightly when she heard this, "Although you and I are both Dao Immortals, the Heavenly Realm is so big. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. If you can not conflict with the local forces, it is better not to have a conflict, there are also very powerful forces in the martial arts world that day, you should know that the terrifying existence that entered the abyss demon domain ten thousand years ago is a martial god in the heavenly martial world. ”

"Yes!" The old woman's face was slightly shocked, the powerhouses who could enter the Abyss Demon Domain were all the top existences.

"I heard that before he broke into the abyss, he also set off a storm in our immortal realm, and many Dao immortals were taught a lesson by him." The old woman said: "That person is really arrogant, he should have fallen in the abyss." ”

"Not necessarily. When the strength reaches that level, even a crippled soul has the possibility of being reborn in Nirvana, of course. That's just the possibility. The short-haired woman in blue said, "Okay, don't talk about this, anyway, it's right to be careful." You and I will go our separate ways. ”

"Hmm. The old body obeys! The old woman bowed down to receive the order. Immediately holding a cane in hand, he flew northwest on his pet beast, the heavy eyebird, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

But it is a double-eyed bird, which is a descendant of the ancient mythical beast Chongming bird.

The Chongming Bird is a sacred bird in ancient myths and legends. It resembles a chicken. The song is like a phoenix, and this bird has two eyeballs in both eyes. Therefore, it is called a heavy bird, also called a heavy eye bird. It has great strength and is able to fight beasts. It can ward off disasters such as fierce beasts and monsters. In the folk New Year customs of the Han nationality, the chicken is pasted on the doors and windows, which is the will of the heavy Ming bird, and the reputation of being wise and thrifty spreads far and wide. The double eye bird, also known as the two-eyed bird, has two pupils in each of its two eyes. It was shaped like a chicken, and its voice was as loud and beautiful as that of a phoenix. It often shakes off all the feathers on its body, flappes its featherless body with its bare wings, and dances and whirls high in the air. It can expel tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves and other fierce beasts, so that many demons and monsters dare not harm humans. It also has low requirements for humans, it does not eat food, as long as it drinks a little Qiongyu's ointment, it is very satisfied. However, the bird was so attached to its homeland that the people could not bear it, so they allowed it to come and go freely. The bird is very righteous, it understands people's good intentions, and sometimes it goes out of its way to visit it several times a year. Sometimes people offend it and don't come every few years. So, every household cleaned the courtyard and put on the elixir and jade liquid, hoping that the Chongming bird would come to perch. Birds, beasts and ghosts often take advantage of the absence of the bird to come out to harm people, people use wood or copper and iron to cast into the shape of the bird, placed in the portal, in this way, the birds, beasts and ghosts will be afraid, hide far away, dare not come to make trouble.

In ancient times, there lived a blind man named Susuo at the foot of the mountain. One night he had a dream in which a heavy bird flew up to him and fed him with food in its mouth, and said to him, "If I don't go away, will I be your son?" He was so pleased to hear that he bent down to pick up the bird, and at that moment he awoke. When he woke up, the more he thought about it, the more strange it became, and he told his daughter-in-law about his dream from beginning to end. The daughter-in-law said, "The dream is in my heart, you think your son is going crazy!" Let's not talk about the daughter-in-law giving birth to a baby for the time being, let's talk about what Chongming Bird is. The Chongming bird is also called the double-eyed bird, which looks similar to the chickens fed by the household, and the sound of chirping is the same as that of a phoenix, which is strange and beautiful. The difference is that it has two pupils in one eye socket. Demons and monsters, jackals, tigers and leopards, don't say that you see its shadow, as soon as you hear its cry, you will be numb with fright, and you will run away for your life. The common people say that the Chongming Bird avoids evil spirits, and everyone looks forward to the Chongming Bird flying. But the bird lives far and wide. Therefore, everyone followed the example of the Ming Bird, some carved one out of wood, some pinched one out of mud, and placed it on the roof to scare the demons, demons, wolves, tigers and leopards.

Ever since he dreamed of the bird, his daughter-in-law was really pregnant with a baby. Ten months later, she gave birth to a chubby son. On the day of giving birth, a heavy bird really flew in, landed at the door of the house, and squeaked and cooed for a while. When the baby was born in the house, the Chongming bird at the door was gone, and the neighbors in the east and the west said that the life was good and the blessings were great. Take a closer look at the newborn baby. They were all stunned, the eye sockets of the little fetus were exactly the same as the eye sockets of the Chongming bird. There are two pupils in one eye socket. Everyone said that this doll was born by Chongming Bird. One day. Xi Zhong came to play and said that the country of Zhizhi had sent an envoy to pay tribute. Di Yao was busy entertaining according to etiquette. This time, the Gizhi Kingdom paid tribute to a strange bird, which was like a chicken, and the feathers of its two wings had fallen off, and only two fleshy feathers remained, and its shape was very ugly. Di Yao thought that there must be something special about him coming from afar to pay tribute, so he asked the messenger, "What is the name of this bird?" What are the specific features? The messenger said, "This bird has two eyeballs in both eyes, so it is called the Bright Bird." Also known as the double-eyed bird. It has great strength and is able to fight beasts. It chirped, its sound was like a phoenix, all the demons and evils were far away, and they could not be harmed, it was really a kind of spirit bird. Therefore, the king of a small country sent his courtiers to contribute, hoping to beg for a reward. Di Yao said: "Its feathers are not yet complete, where can it still hunt down fierce beasts?" The messenger was about to speak, but he did not know that this bird of light seemed to know it. After listening to Di Yao's words, he suddenly burst into a long roar, and his voice was really like a phoenix; Suddenly, two fleshy wings flashed and soared into the air. flew around the hall for a turn, straight out of the court, and flew and roared. At that time, the phoenix nesting in Age and the luan bird flying in the gathering heard its song. They also roared together and made peace with it. The sound is harmonious and very pleasant to the ear. At this time, Shu Jun was in the palace. Seeing the Chongming Bird leaving the temple, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ahh Fled! The messenger laughed and said, "No, no, it will come." After a while, he flew back. At this time, the guards on the stairs suddenly saw countless flocks of birds flying north in the air, very quickly. Later, when I inquired, I learned that they were all owls and the like, and they probably heard the song of the heavy bird and fled to the desert. Since then, it is really strange that there are no owls and evil birds within hundreds of miles where the Chongming bird is located. It was said that Di Yao valued the situation of the Ming Bird and knew that it was indeed a spirit bird, so he asked the messenger, "Are its feathers like this all year round?" The messenger said, "No." Its feathers come and go for a long time, and this is the time for it to untie its feathers, so it is. Di Yao said: "So what does it eat?" The messenger said, "Usually it's out and doesn't know what to eat." If anyone feeds it, it must be anointed with jade.'" Here, Emperor Yao and his ministers discussed the method of retaining and raising the heavy bird. Di Yao said: "It is a spirit bird, like Luan Feng, it can't be bent to the cage, and it can be left to come and go." Besides, it is too luxurious to raise it with agar, so where can I have so many qiongyu to provide for it? When the ministers heard this, they all thought so, so they placed the bird in the woods and let it be free. Since then, the Chongming bird has been flying back and forth, always within a few hundred miles of the imperial capital, and all the jackals, tigers and leopards have been killed by it, and the people have come and gone, which is a lot more convenient. Occasionally, there are strange or different things in the folk house, as long as the Chongming bird arrives, the monster will immediately lurk; Bad luck turned into good luck. If the mountains, forests, rivers and fierce beasts are troubled, as long as they hear the song of the heavy bird, the beasts will all flee, so everyone worships this heavy bird as a god, and there is no one who does not sweep the door, stretching its neck and limping to see it fly. The heavy bird lived in the imperial capital for a few hours, and suddenly flew away. Then I came once a year, and only once every few years. Everyone was in a hurry to look forward to it, and someone came up with a way to carve a statue of a heavy bird out of wood, or cast a statue of a heavy bird out of gold, and place it between the portals. I don't know that there is a spirit, and all the ugly and ugly people can also retreat. Therefore, on the New Year's Day every year, the people of the future will either carve wood, or cast gold, or paint the shape of a chicken, and put it on the window. This is the story of the Chongming Bird. In ancient mythology, it was said that the chicken was a deformed bird. When Emperor Yao, distant friends paid tribute to a kind of Chongming bird that can ward off evil spirits, and everyone welcomed the arrival of Chongming Bird, but the tribute envoy did not come every year, so people carved a wooden Chongming Bird, or cast Chongming Bird with copper and put it on the portal, or painted Chongming Bird on the doors and windows, to scare away demons and monsters, so that they did not dare to come again. Because the appearance of the heavy bird resembles a chicken, it was gradually changed to painting chickens or cutting window flowers and pasting them on doors and windows, which became the source of paper-cutting art in later generations. During the Chinese New Year, some people use woodcuts, some copper, and some paper cutouts to make the shape of chickens and hang them on doors and windows, which is said to have evolved from the custom of using the Chongming bird to drive away evil spirits at that time.

The story of Chongming Bird has been passed down to this day, and it cannot but be said to be related to Yao Xianming's reputation.

……………………………………

Tianshuiling, Tianshui City, Chen's house.

In the early morning, a pillar of fiery red light suddenly rose from the inner courtyard of the Chen Mansion, and the rolling heat wave reflected the clouds in the sky, and the clouds were as beautiful as the sunset.

After a moment, the fiery red light gradually dissipated.

Chen Feng, who was sitting cross-legged in the inner courtyard, opened his eyes, his eyes were bright, and he could faintly see that there seemed to be two flames dancing.

"Boom!"

The Yanjin Sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sound of the sword was as clear as a dragon.

Chen Feng held the Yanjin Sword in his hand and danced his swordsmanship in the courtyard, the sword roared, and the heat wave was practiced. In the boiling heat wave, a line of golden light can be faintly seen, as if cutting the space open.

"Brother Feng, have you broken through?" Ziyue Rong's beautiful eyes were delighted, and she walked over with Xiao Xuanxuan in her arms.

"Well, I have comprehended the mystery of the fire system!" Chen Feng showed a slight smile on his face, his eyes moved, and he saw Xiao Xuanxuan in the arms of her Rong'er mother, her little hands were holding two strings of ice cicada gourds, and her small mouth kept eating.

"Xuanxuan, why are you eating ice cicada gourd again, this kind of thing is useless to eat, it's just a glutton." Chen Feng said and reached out to take the ice cicada gourd in Xiao Xuanxuan's hand.

The little guy was eating with relish, and suddenly, he found 'hey', where did the ice cicada gourd go, where did it go, and the big black eyes couldn't help but look up, and found that it was her father who snatched her ice cicada gourd. Suddenly, his eyes were red, his mouth was flattened, and he was about to cry when he saw it.

"You, you are a person who is determined to make her cry. You'll coax yourself later. Ziyue Rongmei glared at Chen Feng fiercely, took the ice cicada gourd from Chen Feng's hand, and gave it to Xiao Xuanxuan, "Xuanxuan doesn't cry, Xuanxuan is good, my mother gave you the ice cicada gourd, don't pay attention to your father." ”

"Woo, daddy is a bad person." Xiao Xuanxuan's mouth was flat and flat, and there were still a few crystal tears hanging on her long eyelashes, and she was very aggrieved. Then, when she saw Rong'er's mother giving her the ice cicada gourd, her little face suddenly became happy again, and she began to eat the ice cicada gourd with relish.

"No, I said Rong'er, we can't spoil this little guy like this." Chen Feng smiled bitterly: "It's useless to eat this ice cicada gourd, have you eaten the elixir I prepared?" ”

"Yes, Xuanxuan did a good job in her homework today, so I rewarded her with two strings of ice cicada gourds to make her more active in learning." Zi Yuerong glanced at Chen Feng angrily, and said, "You think that everyone is like you, and you know about penance and penance all day long." (To be continued.) )
