Chapter 293: Vermilion Bird Fire Feather
The Savage Continent is divided into four parts, southeast and northwest, of which the north is the Snow Clan, the east is the Holy Clan, the west is the Demon Clan, and the south belongs to the territory of the Li Clan.
The Li tribe is also called the Wu clan, and the cultivators in the clan are called wizards. The Li nationality has a vast territory, and is naturally divided into nine tribes in the area of tens of millions of kilometers, which is also the origin of the saying of "Jiuli".
The Fire Tribe is adjacent to the Wood Tribe, which is located further south than the Wood Tribe, and has reached the southernmost tip of the continent, where it is in a tropical rainforest climate all year round, with hot and humid conditions, dense rainforests, and countless poisonous insects, snakes and ants are the three most prominent characteristics here.
When Qu Shan and Xiao Luoyan stepped into the territory of the Fire Tribe, they really couldn't figure out why this place was named after the word "fire". In addition to heat, the presence of water everywhere is more appropriate to call it a tribe of water.
"Do you know who the guardians of the Fire Tribe are?" Qu Shan asked.
The two walked on the bustling streets, passing among the people of the Li nationality with a melancholy face.
Lu Pressure gave him this entrustment - to find the guardian of the Fire Tribe, Qu Shan thought that as long as he got here, he would find the guardian and light up the token, and then tell him that it was time to go to the Demon Clan's Wansheng Mountain, so it was done, and they went back to their respective homes. Overall, it's just a simple errand job.
After arriving here, he learned that the people of the Fire Tribe, no one knew who their guardian was, and everyone who was asked shook their heads blankly, and occasionally those who did not shake their heads were also surprised to ask: "Guardian......s?"
So, after searching for a whole day, Qu Shan privately decided that the guardian of the Fire Tribe was Suzaku.
But the question arises again, the Vermilion Bird is a legendary divine beast, where to find it? It is definitely not okay to ask ordinary people, if the whereabouts of the Vermilion Bird are known to ordinary people, then he will not be called a divine beast.
Qu Dan thought about it for a while and decided to start with a place like Jongmyo first.
There are hundreds of totem temples in the city of fire, and more than half of them are worshiped by the Suzaku birds. Qu Shan searched for them one by one, and walked around for three days, but he didn't even find a single bird feather.
"You said that if we wreak havoc in the City of Fire, will the Vermilion Bird show up to stop us?" Qu Shan asked Xiao Luoyan.
Xiao Luoyan shook his head: "I don't know, but I know one thing, that is, you will definitely not be happy, tens of millions of people in the City of Fire, one person can drown you with a mouthful of spit!"
Qu Shan nodded thoughtfully, and another temple appeared in front of him while speaking, it was very dilapidated, it should have been repaired for ten or eight years, but there was no shortage of people here, and the threshold in front of the small temple was trampled.
It is a slum, and it is inhabited by the poorest people in the city of fire, and there are many homeless people who use this small temple as a place to live, so when Qu Dan and the two came here, there were seven or eight lazy men basking in the sun in front of the temple gate.
The two of them climbed the stairs, and before they entered the door, they heard a crisp and pleasant voice inside and said: "Uncle, your legs still need to be cultivated for a while, I have fixed it for you with a splint, and you can't move it for half a month, and then come here, I will help you remove the splint, and there will be no sequelae......"
"Thank you, girl, you are such a good man. An old voice said.
The crisp voice sounded again: "You're welcome, everyone lives nearby, and it's right to help each other." ”
An old man who is more than old appears at the door with the support of a middle-aged man, the old man's thigh is splint, it should be broken bones, behind the old man and the man, a touch of fiery red makes people's eyes shine, but it is a young girl.
The girl is only sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed plainly and simply, but different from the fire red, what is even more amazing is that the girl's eyes and hair are fire red, like a flame about to burn, giving people an extremely warm feeling.
"Could it be her?" Qu Shan was suspicious, and after looking for a few days, he looked at everyone like the incarnation of Suzaku. This girl gives people a completely different feeling, especially when she is dressed in fiery red, which makes people involuntarily think of the guardian of the Fire Tribe.
The middle-aged man helped the old man walk away, and Qu Dan and the two appeared in front of each other.
The girl's red eyes flowed, her face was full of a friendly smile, and she asked, "Are the two of you from other places?" ”
There was sincerity in the words, and it could be seen that this girl was a kind person.
"Hehe, we don't heal, we just ask the girl about someone. Qu Shan also said kindly, his image is powerful, if he has a straight face, he is afraid that he will scare the crying children.
"Speak. ”
"Does the girl know the guardian of the Fire Tribe? We have asked many people, but we don't know, someone told us that the guardian of the Fire Tribe should be Suzaku, I don't know if it's right or not?"
"Guardian?, yes, the Fire Tribe does have a Guardian, and it is the Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, but this statement is not widely spread, so many people don't know, everyone prefers to worship the Vermilion Bird as a totem, if the two of you ask what the totem of the Fire Tribe is, I'm afraid that no one doesn't know......
At this time, a lazy man in front of the temple gate turned over, grabbed the side and interjected: "Yes, yes, the fire feather girl is right, the totem of our fire tribe is the Vermilion Bird, and the guardian is also the Vermilion Bird, even the old man I know, why don't you come to ask me......"
Another lazy man immediately squirted on the side: "Miao Sanzhi, you afterthought, after the fire feather girl said it, you ran to offer treasures, save it." ”
When Miao San was stunned, he scratched his head in embarrassment, but his mouth was stubborn: "Fart, I already knew about this! You two strangers, if you don't understand something, ask me, I Miao San idiot can't do anything else, I know the big and small anecdotes of the City of Fire, I know it clearly......"
Qu Shan thought it was funny, this Miao San idiot should have seen Xiao Luoyan's beauty, so he wanted to come up and brag about it, so as to attract the attention of the beauty, but he didn't expose it, so he asked: "Okay, I want to see Suzaku now, can you take me there?"
"What, who do you want to see...... Miao Sanzhi looked like he didn't hear clearly, "I heard you right, Suzaku!? Let me tell you, stranger, Suzaku is the guardian of our Fire Tribe, and even the people of Fire City have never seen it, why do you want to see it?
Miao Sanzhi spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm to the side, staggered, and went back to the temple gate to bask in the sun. The request made by Qu Shan was so incredible that he thought it was making fun of him.
The girl named Fire Feather smiled as brightly as a spring flower, and she giggled for a long time before she stopped and said, "Two guests from afar, are you sure you are not wrong......?"
Qu Shan just shook his head, spread out his palm, took out the jade that Lu Jian handed over to him, and said: "We're not sure if we must see Suzaku, but someone entrusted us to find the guardian of the Fire Tribe, whoever is the guardian, we will see whoever ......"
The girl shook her head, thinking that the song list was a joke, and politely saluted the two of them, and then left. Her light body walks happily in the sun, and her body seems to be full of happiness all the time.
"Stranger, look stupid. The old man told you that Huo Yu is a famous girl in our area, and her medical skills are not inferior to the great witch doctor in the City of Fire, but the Huo Yu girl only comes to this broken temple every day, especially for the poor people who look down on witch doctors, and never charges money, she is very popular with people in this area, you are not allowed to beat her crooked ideas......" Miao San Idiot lay on the ground and said lazily to Qu Dan.
Qu Shan sighed, became interested in this girl named Huo Yu, and asked, "Uncle Miao, is Huo Yu girl really so famous?
"The old man knew that you would ask, for the sake of you being a foreigner, let me tell you, you don't need money. The Fire Feather girl lived two streets in front of her, and when she was born, she had fiery red hair and red eyes, and the family was frightened at that time, and she didn't want this child, but the old witch doctor in the city persuaded her parents to keep her, so she was not abandoned. It's also magical, Huo Yu was smart and clever when she was a child, she followed the old witch doctor to learn medical skills at the age of four, and learned all the skills of the old witch doctor in five years, and then the fire feather girl went to visit the big witch doctor in the city, and continued to study, over the years, her skills are no worse than any witch doctor in the city, the most rare thing is that the fire feather girl treats diseases and saves people, never takes money, everyone likes her very much, I advise you, don't hit her crooked idea......"
Gotcha, after talking about it, it seems to be back to the same place.
The song list is silent, but I also got the news I want to know, it seems that this girl is indeed not the legendary Suzaku, she has a birth, a resume, cough cough...... There is no mystery at all, except for her fiery red hair and eyes, and then there is a little medical excellence, and the rest should be nothing special.
Of course, Qu Shan won't believe the old man's words so easily, he still has to see if this little girl named Huo Yu is the same thing. After all, it's rare to suspect a person, and you have to find out.
Following the direction of Huo Yu's walk, the two followed together.
I can't see Huo Yu's figure anymore, but the two of them are not lost, because all the way to the past, no one doesn't know her, everyone mentions Huo Yu, they are all praised with a smile: "This little girl is good, we all like her, you are not bad people, right?"
Turning two streets, a very dilapidated alley appeared in front of Qu Dan and Xiao Luoyan, and it only took a glance to determine that this was the place where the poorest people lived, those who had problems even eating and dressing, and who had no spare energy to improve their housing problems.
"Go, go to the broken temple every day! I also go to learn witch medicine, and I won't see you earn a copper plate and come back! The old lady has supported you for nothing for more than ten years!" In the distance, I heard the scolding in the alley, and then the sound of thorn strips whipping, and a fiery red figure was in the depths of the alley, being chased and beaten by a middle-aged woman, "The child is his father, hurry up Ming'er to find a family affair for this girl, and get married quickly! Stay at home and eat rice, it's too lazy to do! Get the bride price, just buy a few sets of new clothes for your son!"
There was a man in the room who replied roughly: "I know, I know, a few days ago, the subordinates of the Meng Mansion happened to come once, saying that they wanted Huo Yu to marry the third young master of his mansion as the seventh concubine, and I was thinking about it......"
"Consider, think about a fart, who is the Meng family? We are one of the largest families in the City of Fire, there are several great wizards of the Meng family, and there are many great witch doctors, those are nobles who can't usually climb, and the head of the Meng family is an elder of the tribe, powerful and powerful, why don't you marry!?
"However, I heard that the third young master of the Meng family is a cripple, and his left leg is not very flexible......" The man's voice was full of hesitation.
"Crippled? Crippled people can't stop people from having money, marry this dead girl, the bride price is indispensable! In the future, the family will be much more relaxed! What do you care about doing so much!"
"This ...... Well, I'll go to Mengfu tomorrow and talk about it......"
After a while, the middle-aged woman got tired and threw down the thorns and went into the house.
The fiery red girl squatted alone in the corner, her hands on her knees, her head buried between her knees, and her shoulders sobbing slightly.
Xiao Luoyan broke away from the big hand of the song list, and said angrily: "Why are you pulling me, I'm going to beat this evil woman to death! It's so hateful, worse than my father!"
Qu Shan shook his head helplessly, and said: "Miss, use your brains, this is someone's family matter, what can you do? That evil woman is her own mother, no matter how hateful it is, can you really kill it? Since we can't kill it, then we will leave after the fight, and in the end it will be someone else who is unlucky!"
"I ...... We can take that girl away, just like you took me......" Xiao Luoyan pursed her lips and said as a matter of course.
Qu Shan really wants to say that we are not engaged in charity, we travel all over the world just to be kind and save the common people, but for your cheap master to find the guardian of the Fire Tribe, so you don't have to meddle with it. Just listen with your ears, and know that what happened to a girl is by no means the first time, even if you want to take care of it, you have to find the right way, once and for all.
It's just that before these words were spoken, Xiao Luoyan couldn't wait to rush out.
This girl named Huo Yu is quite similar to her before, but it is much more miserable, at least Xiao Luoyan's father is not bad to her, but he is a little anxious to marry her, and Huo Yu was beaten and scolded by his parents, completely inhumane!
The footsteps stopped in front of the girl, Huo Yu raised her head, her face was full of tears, she recognized that this was a foreigner she had seen in the broken temple before, and smiled: "You all saw it? I'm sorry to let you see it." ”
The pear blossoms bring rain, and the girl's face still has blood marks from being whipped, but her smile is so warm, it makes people feel that this is a miracle, why even crying gives people a warm and cordial feeling like a spring breeze!?
"No, we should have bothered you!" Xiao Luoyan shook her head and pulled the girl up pityingly. There were several whip marks on the girl's hands, red and red, faintly bruised, which showed how merciless her mother beat her just now.
"You ......" Xiao Luoyan wanted to say something comforting, but she couldn't say anything when she came to her mouth.
The girl wiped away her tears and said, "It's okay, I studied witch doctors, and this little injury is not in the way." Her hands with whip marks were raised, and a touch of spiritual power full of fiery aura was released on the scars, and the scars healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon disappeared, and the white and tender hands were as delicate as a baby's skin.
Xiao Luoyan's eyes widened, and she looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.
This girl uses spiritual power! Moreover, consistent with her appearance, she uses the fire attribute spiritual power between heaven and earth, but the effect is to heal wounds! This kind of thing is incredible, Xiao Luoyan herself practices water attribute spells, and Qu Shan has taught her the corresponding healing spells, but it is not strange, because the water is gentle, and it is natural to treat injuries. However, fire is violent and unruly, and fire-attribute spiritual power has always existed as a means of attack, used to heal wounds, unheard of!
However, it is this impossibility that appears vividly in front of you!
The song list that fell behind was also alarmed, and he also looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, this kind of thing also violated his common sense!
"You ...... Why are you looking at me like this......" Huo Yu was stared at by the two of them, and asked a little embarrassed.
The two of them woke up suddenly, shook their heads violently, and threw out the surprise in their hearts, Xiao Luoyan remembered the purpose of her coming, pulled the girl to the side, and talked in a low voice.
Women and women, with similar experiences, should have more common topics.
Qu Shan was too lazy to get closer, only to see two women, one big and one small, whispering on the side, the fiery red girl nodded from time to time, and shook her head for a while, her red eyes made people involuntarily rise up with affection.
"What a magical spell!Who is this girl?" Qu Shan had already denied the possibility that Fire Feather was Suzaku before, but when he saw the girl's spell of healing with fire spiritual power, the thought in his heart suddenly wavered.
Yes and no?
Qu Dan only has a vague concept in her heart, she maybe, should, and may be someone related to Suzaku, as for who Suzaku is, only through more in-depth research can she get a definite answer.
After a while, Xiao Luoyan triumphantly pulled the girl over: "I have a good idea, I can help Sister Huoyu get rid of the current situation!"
"Oh, what idea?" Qu Shan didn't think Xiao Luoyan's idea was feasible from the bottom of his heart, but he still had to ask, otherwise Miss Xiao would have a temper attack, and he would be unlucky.
"Hmph, isn't Sister Huoyu's father and mother going to marry her off? Marrying into the Meng family, it seems to be quite powerful! My idea is that you go and take the Meng family, and then come to propose to Sister Huoyu's parents, when the time comes, they will definitely not dare not agree!"
