Mochizuki watched from afar at the gradually clear outline of the Tibetan Bird Terrace, from this angle, it seemed to be the same as in the past, there was no change, but there was no longer the curling smoke of the past, he asked Ouyang Hongye and Fenghuo behind him: "It's been a long time since I've been to such a far place, and after the Great War sixteen years ago, everyone hasn't been here again, right?" ”

Fenghuo replied to him: "After the Great War, I was ordered by Elder Cheng to come here once to escort the remaining feather-clad demons to the royal city to continue their lives, at that time, because my partner and children were still buried here, in order to persuade them to leave their hometown, we really struggled. ”

The scene at that time is still vivid, after learning that Qingyun and the henchmen have disappeared, those surviving feather-clad demons are still lost in their souls, expressionless, after a long time, their tear ducts are on the verge of breaking out, their cries echo in the empty city, towards the forest outside the city, as if calling for the souls of their partners and children, there will never be a hundred birds returning to the nest in the Tibetan Bird Terrace, and there is only a desolation and painful memories left.

Walking to the front of the Tibetan Bird Terrace Castle, the city gate is open to the outside, and the weeds inside and outside the city wall are overgrown, and it seems that it has not been inhabited for a long time. Ouyang Hongye was the first to enter the city of Zangquetai, and the others followed in a row, inside the city and outside the city, the wild grass on the ground grew tall, and the bird houses on the top of the trees were mostly dilapidated, the roofs were almost gone, and the whole city was dead silent, not like the place where Qingyun's remnants would choose to be stationed.

Ouyang Hongye arranged: "It seems that no one is here, we will rest in the city for the night tonight, and everyone will take turns to keep vigil!" ”

Feng Huo was familiar with it because he had been here before, so he proposed: "There is a clearing in the middle of the city, where we can make a fire and cook something to eat, and I haven't eaten anything hot for several days." ”

"Well, do as you say!" Ouyang Hongye nodded in agreement.

It's a pity that when he walked to the open space that Fenghuo said, it was already overgrown with wild grass, and there was no place to stay, so he had to lead everyone to the bottom of the bird house where the city lord of Zang Que Tai once lived, which was built higher than other bird houses, and was many times more spacious in addition to this, and even had a platform in front of the entrance, which was very conducive to keeping vigil and keeping watch.

After they dismounted, Feng Huo was the first to jump onto the platform, which was slightly less damaged than the other birds, and he walked on it, and then collapsed a few more feet, and when he was sure that the whole building was still strong and solid, he called the others to come up: "Hey, come up, everyone, it's quite sturdy here!" ”

In the summer and autumn, they also flew up one after another when they heard the sound, compared to the city wall of Vietnam and Zhejiang, the feeling of taking off the bird house was closer to flying, although it was only a few seconds, but it still made Xia and Qiu feel happy. What could fascinate humans more than flying? This is an emotion that the demon clan, who are used to flying around, can never understand.

Although it has been devoured and baptized by the years, the weaving of the bird house where the lord of Zangquetai City lived is still very delicate and exquisite, and the paper on the window has long been gone, leaving only the empty window lattice, and the door is missing. The inside of the house was more spacious than expected, and as soon as you entered, there was a room for guests, and then there was a door, and through it, it was supposed to be the room where the lord of the castle had slept. There were still some books and utensils scattered on the shelves, many of which had been scattered on the ground, and a large mat on the ground, which should have been her former bed, was also in tatters.

Looking from the platform, the entire Tibetan Bird Tai City is in full view, and hundreds of small bird houses, although they have been dilapidated, they can't hide the chic that once been. Although it was no longer inhabited at the moment, Xia Qiu couldn't help but imagine what this place used to look like, whether it was night or day, the scene of the feathered demons flying in and out of the finch house on the green trees would be like a fairy tale.

At this moment, the city was bathed in the sunset in the valley, and the wind and fire were a little tired, and they had already left behind the idea of wanting to eat, so they simply picked up a vacant lot in the outer room and fell down, and after a while they snored loudly. Mochizuki sat on the platform outside the house, and took out the shakuhachi that he didn't often play from his arms, this is a very old instrument, the melody is not as crisp as the flute and flute, but it is more hoarse and melancholy, Ouyang Xiaoleng couldn't help but sit beside him, looking aimlessly into the distance. Only the Thousand Riders tirelessly began his treasure hunt at the Hidden Bird Terrace, where he flew around like a monkey and tried to find something interesting in them.

Ouyang Hongye stayed on the ground under the platform, cleared out an empty field, picked up some neat stones, and prepared to set up a stove to cook some hot soup.

As soon as Xia Qiu saw it, she stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

Ouyang Hongye, who was building a stove, looked up at her, and his eyes smiled into a beautiful arc, "Then help me pick up some firewood." ”

"yes, okay."

When she finished, she went to pick up some dry firewood, and by this time Ouyang Hongye had already set up the stove and the pot was filled with water. He took out a few potatoes from the cloth bag next to him, and used his flame slash to peel off a potato skin at a rapid speed, Xia Qiu thought this picture was very funny, it was like killing chickens with a knife, and he laughed with a poof.

He looked up at her in confusion, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's the first time I've seen someone peel a potato with such a big knife." Although she felt that the smile just now was a little inappropriate, she still answered truthfully.

He couldn't help laughing, "Su Su also said something similar, she thinks watching me and Xue Ye cooking in the kitchen is like a war." ”

She stuffed the dry wood she had gathered under the stove, and with a slight tap of Momiji's fingers, the firewood burned.

She sat down by the fire and asked, "I've always wondered, can't you conjure food with a snap of your finger?" ”

"This question is good, in fact, it is okay, but it is against the law of all things, you think about it and think about what should not exist, although it tastes delicious and even makes you feel full, but it is lifeless and will not give you any nutrients."

She didn't fully understand what he was saying, but she was so drawn that she looked at him without blinking.

He continued to peel and dice the potatoes, "Even if you can follow the laws of all things and create a method out of nothing, not only humans, even our demon clan has been pursuing it for thousands of years, I think you must have heard of alchemy. Alchemy is based on the law of all things, it is like magic, it is said that alchemy can not only make gold, but also make all the objects you can imagine if properly converted, and all of them are real. Well, not only objects, but even people, demons, or a part of our body. ”

She couldn't help but think of her deceased mother, and asked, "Can we even resurrect the dead?" ”

He raised his head and replied to her very seriously: "Yes, but that is not allowed, the Heavenly God Qiansu stipulates that in the Three Realms, the dead life cannot be resurrected, no matter what method it takes." Even the Creator Himself cannot make exceptions, he can create new life, but he cannot resurrect the dead. ”

This answer made her a little disappointed, but then she thought that even if she couldn't resurrect life, alchemy had already made all walks of life so obsessed, and if it was omnipotent, it would definitely cause an even more chaotic situation in the Three Realms.

The water in the pot was already boiling, Ouyang Hongye put the cut potato pieces into the pot, and said: "The excessive obsession of the Three Realms with obtaining the secret of alchemy has caused many people to fall into it, the first to study alchemy is a human being, in fact, alchemy requires the knowledge of the three worlds of people, gods and demons to complete, first of all, the most basic is the seed of God, and then the conversion key formed by human minds, and then with the help of demon illusion to complete the conversion process, only through these three steps can the universal elixir be formed, also called the elixir of life, It can turn stones into gold, it can repair broken limbs, it can make people immortal, and it can make up everything you can think of. ”

"So...... What happened to that human? I mean the one who made the panacea. Xia Qiu began to wonder about his fate.

"To be exact, he didn't make a panacea, because although he got the seed of the gods, and the conversion key, he couldn't get the help of the demon to complete the last step, and he died not long after recording the solution method, and it is said that his method caused an uproar in the Three Realms, and everyone wanted to get it, so they did whatever it took to do it, and he died because of it. In the end, the human, god and demon world each got some of these methods, and the Chenji Palace contained the method of transformation, and Xiao Leng's father, Xue Ye, could use this method to treat more serious injuries and diseases on others. There are various theories about the whereabouts of the other two methods, but none of them have been confirmed, and in the end, they will not be resolved. ”

She exclaimed again and again: "It's really amazing that you can help others heal their injuries just by getting a part of the method!" ”

"Yes, the city lord of the Nanzhejiang City we went to before was tempted by Qingyun because he was obsessed with alchemy, and in the end not only gave his life, but even the entire city was destroyed, becoming a terrifying and desolate place with only mourning ghosts." Ouyang Hongye kept stirring the potato soup, then took out a small spice bottle from a pocket next to him, turned it and sprinkled it in, the soup instantly became sticky, and then he turned to Xia Qiu and said, "If you are interested in this matter, then I will tell you about it slowly, now call those guys above to come down to eat." ”

Although Xia Qiu still wanted to know more about alchemy, he had to nod and turn around to call Ouyang Xiaoleng and them. Mochizuki and Ouyang Xiaoleng should have been hungry, and they could smell the rich aroma of the hot soup below on the platform, and they couldn't wait to prepare as soon as they heard the call.

When she reminded them not to forget to call Fenghuo, both of them hesitated, neither of them was too willing to disturb the sleeping leopard, in their words, the big cat did not wake up but it was not easy to mess with, just at this time, the thousand riders flew back from a distance.

Before he could land, he shouted, "I have made a big discovery!" ”

Ouyang Hongye raised his head and asked, "About what?" ”

Qianqi replied proudly: "I don't think I dare to say just now, at least someone has been here recently." ”

Ouyang Hongye smiled evilly after hearing this: "Then you can explain it in detail when you eat, now go and call the wind and fire first!" ”

Only Xia Qiu, Xiao Leng and Mochizuki understood the meaning of Ouyang Hongye's evil smile, and Qianqi couldn't wait to announce his major discovery, and when he heard Ouyang Hongye's words, he jumped onto the platform without thinking about it, and walked into the house to see that Feng Huo was sleeping.

"Hey!"

Qianqi shouted, and seeing that he didn't react, he shouted harder, "Hey, get up!" He shouted and shook his shoulders.

Wind and Fire's ears moved, and he let out a heavy roar, and the moan seemed to come from the depths of the tunnel. Then he sat up, a pair of round eyes suddenly opened angrily, and the red hair on his head also stood up, and he swooped up like a reflection and pressed Qianqi to the ground, angry flames burst out from his eyes, and for a moment the air seemed to stop, and Qianqi realized his danger.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mochizuki on the side quickly grabbed Fenghuo, shook his shoulders vigorously, and shouted, "Hey, come awake!" ”

After a few seconds, Fenghuo was completely awake, stretched his waist, the erected hair gradually collapsed, and the whole person slowly returned to normal.

"I'm sorry, but I just know that it's hard for this guy to scream when he's asleep, but it's the first time he's lost his temper like this." Mochizuki smiled apologetically at Chiki, then turned to Wind and Fire, "You guy, you scared a child like this at your age.

Feng Huo realized that he had completely lost his mind just now, it must be because he had encountered a mourning ghost in Nanzhejiang City day and night in recent days, and he suddenly came to such a comfortable place as Zang Que Tai and was too relaxed, so that he fell into a deep sleep and was caught in a nightmare. He pulled Qianqi up and touched his head, "Little brother, I'm sorry." ”

Qianqi came back to his senses for a long time, smiled awkwardly, and found that he had been frightened by the big cat in front of him in a cold sweat.
