Chapter 296: Fengming Mountain
The little girl of Huoyu was very happy, because of Xiao Luoyan's help, her father and mother married her to the Meng family in exchange for the bride price, last night when the Meng family came to the door in the middle of the night, she was really scared for a while, and then heard what happened, she didn't sleep all night, got up early, and ran to the broken temple.
When she saw Xiao Luoyan at this time, she was so excited that she jumped high, and the girl's nature was undoubtedly revealed.
After a long time, the two women, one big and one small, quieted down.
After the excitement, Xiao Luoyan muttered again, the original plan, letting the Meng family withdraw was only the first step, and the next step was to make persistent efforts to go to Huoyu's house to save this little girl.
It's just that after yesterday's events, Xiao Luoyan was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to open her mouth or not. After weighing it for a long time, she still felt that she should say it, even if Brother Qu didn't agree, she could figure out a way by herself, but the premise was that he knew that she couldn't act without permission like she did yesterday.
From this point of view, Qu List's handling of this matter is still very effective. Miss Xiao Luoyan has also learned to think about problems.
When she squirmed and told her about this matter, Qu Shan immediately laughed and said, "Do you still need me to help with this matter? You can go yourself!"
"I|?" Xiao Luoyan's eyes widened and she asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's you! What did you do last night? Dressed as a man! You can pretend again, anyway, you don't really want to marry Little Sister Fire Feather......"
Xiao Luoyan suddenly realized, happily pulled the fire feather, and ran away with a smoke.
She first fell back to her feet and changed her outfit, turning into a beautiful son, and then under the leadership of the nervous Fire Feather Sister, she stepped into the little girl's home.
There are only three rooms, a living room, two bedrooms, which add up to a palm-sized place, and the kitchen for cooking is a living room double, in one corner of the living room, there are pots and pans and other kitchen utensils, and in the other corner, there is a narrow hardboard bed, where to sleep at night.
Huo Yu has a family of four, a room for parents and a room for younger brothers, as a girl, she does not have her own room, she can only make do in this corner of the room that is also a living room, a kitchen, and a bedroom, and the furniture in the house is very old, and many of them are even repaired and repaired, repaired and repaired, which shows that this family is really difficult.
Xiao Luoyan's nose was sour, and tears almost fell.
This kind of environment is really far from her eldest lady's life, if she didn't see it with her own eyes, she would not have imagined that there are such poor people in the world, they don't live well, they can't eat, they can't wear warm, and they can't even guarantee their basic life.
"Sister Xiao, come in. Huo Yu smiled calmly, she was not embarrassed by her family's situation, her misfortune only lay in her mother's beating and scolding and her father's ignorance.
Xiao Luoyan nodded, her steps were a little heavy, but she still corrected: "Don't call me sister, call me Brother Xiao, otherwise I will be dressed up when I see your father." ”
Huo Yu nodded, and shouted embarrassedly: "Xiao, Brother Xiao......"
Xiao Luoyan seemed to have heard the most beautiful flattery in the world, and her face bloomed with a smile, and she couldn't help pinching Huo Yu's little face: "Good, Sister Huo Yu is really obedient......
At this moment, Huo Yu's mother, who was in the bedroom, heard the voice at the door, and walked out of the room, just in time to see the intimate demeanor of the two, her face suddenly changed: "Where are you a wild man, seducing my daughter, last night the people of the Meng family came to withdraw from their relatives in the middle of the night, it was a good thing for you, a person who killed a thousand knives! Ah, yes, you dare to come to my house, see if the old lady doesn't kill you!"
The old lady of Huoyu was really strong, she picked up a broom while talking, and hit Xiao Luoyan with her head and face.
Xiao Luoyan was a little dumbfounded, she thought that she had subdued the Meng family last night, and Huo Yu's side should not be a problem at all, as long as she mentioned it, it should be solved, so she didn't even think about the situation in front of her, and for a while, she had a strong strength, and she forgot to dodge.
Fortunately, Huo Yu saw the opportunity quickly, and the fiery figure flashed, blocking the trend of the broom's fall.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Huo Yu asked angrily.
"What are you doing? I killed this wild man, what's wrong with you marrying into the Meng family? You have food and clothing, you don't have to work, you live the life of a rich man every day, what's wrong!? You want to be with this wild man, you are really blind, I, I will kill you!" The old lady of the fire feather was already faint, and the broom fell on the head of the fire feather.
Smack——!
The broom was covered with dust, which fell on the little head of the fire feather, and the dust spread everywhere, and the red hair was immediately covered with a layer of ash. The old lady of the fire feather raised the broom, and slapped it again.
Xiao Luoyan, who was stunned, finally reacted and grabbed the broom.
She is extremely disgusted with this mother, this is her own daughter, what is the deep hatred and hatred, to be treated in such a way?
With a slight force, he snatched the broom from the other party's hand and threw it out of the gate, and with a "duh" sound, the broom handle sank into the wall of the alley outside the door, a foot deeper, and the end shook itself.
"You ......" The old lady of Huoyu originally wanted to scold, but when she saw this hand, she was suddenly dumbfounded. She was a vulgar and uninformed woman, and when she saw a powerful person, her heart was empty.
"What are you! You old witch, why are you so ruthless, this is your daughter, not an animal you raised! You treat her like this, how can you bear it!? Old witch, today Young Master Ben will tell you directly, I want your daughter, I want to take it away now, from now on, she is not from your family, and she has nothing to do with you! If you are not convinced, you can find someone to deal with me, but I tell you very clearly, yesterday Young Master Ben just went to the Meng family, and they personally agreed to withdraw from their relatives, you should already know about this! If there is a means to deal with Young Master Ben, even if you use it, Young Master Ben will follow, of course, I will not show mercy to you, an old witch!" Xiao Luoyan became more and more angry the more he spoke, and finally almost pointed at the other party's nose and scolded.
Her words were fierce, and with the content of her words, she frightened the ignorant Huoyu old lady into a daze, and she didn't dare to answer for a long time.
For a long time, when Xiao Luoyan thought that the matter had been settled, the old lady of Huoyu suddenly cried and fell to the ground......, grabbing her hair with both hands, kicking her legs like a toad, and crying loudly in her mouth: "Kill people, rob people!
The old witch shouted miserably, and her voice spread far away, Xiao Luoyan broke out in a cold sweat, this old woman actually sprinkled!
However, she is not a vegetarian, as soon as the water system spell is displayed, a thin layer of water curtain envelops the house, isolating the sound inside and outside, no matter how loud the old witch cries, she can't hear half of it outside, this hand is also taught to her by Qu Dan, and it is just right to use it at this time.
Huo Yu's old lady was crying hoarsely, and there was still no one to help, she opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that the wild man was sitting on the stool for a long time, holding his hands in front of his chest, looking like he was watching a good show, and her daughter Huo Yu was standing aside, as if anxious, embarrassed, and resentful......
"Shout, keep shouting! Young Master Ben hasn't heard enough yet......" Xiao Luoyan raised her eyebrows and said proudly. You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, who is afraid of whom!
But obviously, the old lady of Huo Yu is not stupid, she is just a little short-sighted, knowing that this trick will not work, and suddenly changed another trick: "Huo Yu, you roll over to the old lady, I am still your mother, isn't it?" Okay, the old lady has raised you for more than ten years, you pat your ass and want to leave, leaving nothing, are you worthy of your mother and me......
I actually want to play the family card, where is the usual family affection for my daughter? At the critical moment, this trick does not work! Xiao Luoyan sneered, looked at Huo Yu, and found that this little girl actually had a look of surprise, and seemed to have some signs of being moved.
Xiao Luoyan secretly screamed that it was not good, at the critical moment, there could be no problems with the key people, otherwise the previous efforts would be wasted.
"Huo Yu, look at our family, a family of four, crammed into this small place, you suffered when you were a child, do you think you don't feel distressed to be a mother? But what can be done, your father has no ability to make money, so he can only do this...... Our family has lived more than ten years like this, you know what it's like...... What's wrong with being a mother wanting to change this kind of life? It's better to marry you into a big family, not to mention being a concubine, or being a maid...... And your brother, he is still young, can you bear to see him live like this in the future, poor for the rest of his life......" The old lady of Huoyu continued to sensationalize, seeing that the little girl's eyes were getting softer and softer, Xiao Luoyan really wanted to go up and beat this old witch directly, but no, no matter what she said, she was Huoyu's mother, and she couldn't beat her!
After turning around seven or eight times in a hurry, Xiao Luoyan bit her silver teeth and shouted: "Stop, old witch, don't you just want money? Okay, this young master will give it!
Saying that, she gritted her teeth and took out a few pieces of jewelry, which she brought out from home when she ran away from home, all of which were treasures that she loved very much and was reluctant to throw away, and naturally they were also valuable goods, but for the sake of Sister Huoyu, gritted her teeth and gave!
The old lady of Huoyu immediately stopped talking, and stared at the jewelry in Xiao Luoyan's hand with her eyes.
The Holy Race is the most civilized and civilized race in the Savage Continent, whether it is handicraft, commerce, agriculture, or social civilization. The system and so on are much more advanced than the other three races, the culture of the Holy Clan, deeply affected the Snow Clan and the Li Clan, countless Li people are glorified by the pursuit of the Oriental Saint Clan, Xiao Luoyan took out at this time, it is the jewelry used by the rich and noble people of the Holy Clan, the degree of exquisiteness is not a problem, although the old lady of the fire feather has not seen the jewelry of the Holy Clan, but only look at the appearance, and also know that this thing is expensive, and immediately the eyes are green, like a hungry wolf who saw the meat!
"As long as you promise to marry your daughter to me, these are all yours! Look clearly, this is the most exquisite jewelry of the Holy Clan, any piece can be sold for a sky-high price in the City of Fire, and these few things add up, I am afraid that it will be dozens of times more than the bride price of the Meng family...... Hehehehe...... "Xiao Luoyan is like a strange Shu Huang who abducts her little sister at the moment, and she laughs so treacherously.
However, in this regard, she looked down on the old lady Huoyu, this old witch almost got into the eyes of money, and wanted to marry her daughter to the Meng family, she also knew that the position of a concubine could not cling to the other party's power, so she only wanted to marry the bride price!
As long as whoever pays more money can take her daughter away! This theory has long been ingrained in the heart of the old lady of Huoyu, so as soon as Xiao Luoyan's voice fell, the old witch nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice, and she couldn't wait to go up and grab these things immediately, and then drive her daughter out of the house!
............
When she came out of Huo Yu's house, the girl reluctantly looked at the home where she had lived for more than ten years, and in the hall, the old lady was holding the jewelry given by Xiao Luoyan, smiling happily.
"Is this what I value? Just a few ornaments, I sold her without hesitation...... In her mother's eyes, have you ever had a little affection for her daughter?" Huo Yu's heart was full of sadness and loneliness, and he didn't have the joy of escaping.
Xiao Luoyan also felt the mood of the little girl, pulled her all the way, and was silent with her.
Back at the residence, Qu Dan was sipping tea happily, as if he wasn't worried about them at all, but he had already arranged a room for Huo Yu to live in.
The matter was finally resolved, and the next day, Qu Shan and Xiao Luoyan continued to look for the guardian of the Fire Tribe, and if they didn't complete this entrustment, they wouldn't leave the Fire City, after all, Lu Pressure had been kind to the two, if such a trivial matter couldn't be done, how embarrassed would they meet in the future.
Soon, another month passed, Qu Dan and the two went out early and returned late, searched all the temples and ancestral halls, and visited several of the most famous and powerful families in the City of Fire, and the answer was still that the guardian was Suzaku, but no one had seen it, maybe it was just a legend!
The little girl of Huoyu is not idle these days, when she is free, she will still go back to the broken temple to see patients who cannot afford the consultation fee, and more often, she runs around with Xiao Luoyan, watching Qu Shan and Xiao Luoyan look for it again and again, and be disappointed again and again.
Many times she wanted to say something, and when it came to her mouth, she swallowed it carefully. In her heart, there were doubts, speculations, and wavering hesitations.
This day was in vain, and the three of them returned to their residences a little tired, and the song list actually sighed rarely.
If you go on like this, you don't know when you'll find the Guardian.
Qu Shan also used all his strength to release his momentum, wanting to provoke the Guardian in the dark, but in addition to frightening many masters of the Fire City, the legendary Guardian did not appear.
By now, they are already poor in donkey skills and have nothing to do.
"Perhaps, we should go to Fengming Mountain to have a look......" Huo Yu plucked up his courage and finally said what he had been holding in his heart for a long time.
"Fengming Mountain, where is it?" Xiao Luoyan was very tired, her body was tired, and her heart was even more tired, and she thought that she was just talking casually about Huoyu's little sister's proposal, so she didn't care very much.
"It's just a few thousand miles south of the Fire City, it's not very famous, and most people don't know about it...... However, I think I should take a look......" Huo Yu said seriously, her eyes were very serious.
Xiao Luoyan took it a little seriously, she sat up straight, and asked, "Is there anything special about Fengming Mountain?"
"There's nothing special about it, it's just ......" Huo Yu hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to say it or not, seeing Xiao Luoyan's eyes full of anticipation, he still continued, "I have been dreaming since I was a child, and I mentioned Fengming Mountain in my dream, saying that there is a phoenix on Fengming Mountain, and there is a voice that always says to me, telling me to go there...... I know it's just a dream, maybe it has nothing to do with the Guardian, I've been hesitating whether to tell you, Sister Xiao, you won't blame me, right......"
Xiao Luoyan and Qu Dan glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Having the same dream for more than ten years, such a supernatural event, if it is really just a dream, is too much to say.
There is a phoenix on Fengming Mountain, and the phoenix is not the embodiment of fire?
Legend has it that the phoenix was reborn from the fire, and like the Vermilion Bird, the Phoenix is also a firebird! Could it be that the real guardian of the Fire Tribe is not the Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, but a phoenix?
Thinking of this, Qu Shan and Xiao Luoyan both stood up excitedly. Xiao Luoyan hugged Huo Yu and squeezed her face with both hands: "Sister Huo Yu, how can we blame you, and thank you for providing us with such a good piece of information......
As she spoke, she turned around and walked towards the gate, waved her hand and said, "Let's go, go to Fengming Mountain!"
Huo Yu whispered behind him: "However, it's already dark, so let's go again tomorrow." ”
"I can't wait for a moment, Sister Huoyu is coming, my sister will take you to the sky and go to Fengming Mountain!" Xiao Luoyan's people had already arrived outside the door, and only the voice came in.
Qu Shan also got up and walked out, and at the door, he turned around and said, "Let's go, it's out of the way." ”
A moment later, two rays of light rose into the sky and went straight to Fengming Mountain, thousands of miles away.
Qu Shan and Xiao Luoyan respectively controlled the light, and the speed reached the extreme.
After several years of training, Xiao Luoyan has become extremely familiar with the basic things of these cultivators, and now that she flies into the sky, she will no longer shout, but it is the first time that Huo Yu has flown into the sky, and she is not afraid or screaming, she just stares at her eyes curiously, looking left and right.
At the speed of the two of them, thousands of miles passed quickly, but none of the three of them had ever been to Fengming Mountain, and they didn't know the specific location at all, and the little girl of Huoyu only knew that there was such a place in her dreams, but she hadn't seen it specifically, so the three of them got lost in the vast night......
As a last resort, I stopped in the mountains and fields to rest for one night, and at dawn the next day, I flew up to the sky again to look for it.
"That's it, Sister Xiao, I saw it, it's Fengming Mountain!" Finally, when the three of them had almost walked around a radius of thousands of miles, the little girl of Fire Feather finally shouted loudly.
A mountain that is not very high and not very prominent is in sight, and the overall shape of the mountain is exactly like a phoenix about to take off!
