Chapter 2: The Phoenix Egg (2)
The high priest was still dressed in flowing white, and he walked with a breeze. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If he is willing to stand quietly and silently, that chic demeanor will not be inferior even if he is placed in the Feng Clan. It's a pity that as long as he moves, the whole person's Dao Bone Immortal Wind will be completely gone.
??β Let me see...... I haven't seen him for a month, why is Xiao Yuanyou eating fat again? The high priest rubbed Yuan You's head, and couldn't help but discuss with Xue Lin: "Xiao Xue Lin, lend me your son to raise him for a few days." β
Xue Lin smiled and said, "As long as our Yuan You is willing, it's fine." β
In fact, he was already familiar with the high priest's temperament, and knew that although this one especially liked the young, he was the most Ye Gong and a good dragon, and if he really threw him one and let him take care of it, it would be to be afraid.
Yuan Yu hasn't understood yet. The boy was already annoyed by the high priest, and now he was even more anxious, and he slammed his hand into a few pecks.
The high priest was stunned for a moment, and burst out laughing, "Xiao Yuanyou, let me tell you, when you use your original form, it's called pecking, and you're obviously kissing me now!"
Yuan Yu had already reacted, he was even more ashamed and angry, and he turned his head and buried himself in his father's arms and didn't come out.
The high priest laughed triumphantly, as if he had accomplished something great.
Yuanjia quietly stepped away so as not to be targeted by him next, while his eyes looked at his grandmother with a hint of anticipation. If there was one more person here who could stop the high priest's fond of messing around, it was Grandmother.
Although she is already a member of her grandmother's generation, as a noble phoenix clan with advanced cultivation, the phoenix queen still looks like a beautiful young woman, but now this beauty is very dissatisfied. She cleared her throat and said coldly: "High priest, business......
As a result, immediately after the words were spoken, Queen Feng caught a glimpse of King Feng laughing happily with the high priest next to himβexcept that he didn't make a sound. Her heart was on fire, and she shouted angrily: "You two are unreliable! Now give me the rescue of Yuan Zhao immediately!"
King Feng and the high priest looked at each other silently, both stunned.
Realizing that he couldn't be so imposing, the high priest looked at her with his eyes and said, "I finally got the treatment of being greeted by you once, can't you let me be proud for a while?"
Queen Feng glared back unceremoniously and snorted coldly: "That's why you should have the consciousness to work quickly." β
The high priest choked, sighed, shook his head and walked towards the ice coffin. After walking a few steps, he saw Yuanjia hiding on the side, and sure enough, the high priest was about to touch it again as soon as he got his hand, and casually greeted inexplicably: "I haven't seen Xiao Yuanjia grow so tall for a few days...... Yo, this little body is good. β
- But it was Yuanjia who saw that the situation was not good, and turned around one step ahead of him.
Yuan Jia pursed his lips and smiled at the high priest, took the younger brother from his father's arms, and stood beside the Phoenix Queen with steps.
Empress Feng bowed her head slightly, and said loudly: "Le Yao, Yuheng, go over and watch." β
Both husband and wife should have been, and they followed the high priest behind him.
Yuan Jia stood in place and watched, but couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart. The atmosphere of everyone was a little lighter because of the arrival of the high priest, and only the third uncle still had a hard time smiling.
The third uncle always has a chic chivalrous temperament, but when he sees him recently, he has become more and more depressed. The third aunt stayed by Yuan Zhao's side day and night, and anyone could see that unless Yuan Zhao was completely out of danger, she would never go back to rest.
Perhaps only when Yuan Zhao's body recovers and the real culprit behind him is caught and dealt with, can the impact of this incident on them be dissipated.
"Don't worry, I'm still afraid of something. The high priest was as leisurely as ever, and smiled back, "Give you two a lively son right away." β
Le Yao smiled reluctantly and said in a low voice, "I'm tired of the high priest." β
And Yu Heng, who was usually closer to the high priest, just nodded silently, and even avoided his gaze. The high priest understood his feelings, and did not think much of it, but only patted him on the shoulder as a comfort.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the high priest stood in front of the ice coffin.
This ice coffin was refined by the high priest himself, and it was made of a complete Xuanyuan ice jade. The condition of the yen was no longer enough to survive the fire of nirvana, and the high priest could only temporarily seal the life force of his body, and carefully nourish it with this strange spiritual jade from the deepest part of the Pulau Glacier until today.
The high priest raised his finger, and the Xuanyuan Ice Jade silently turned into stars and flew away.
While the spiritual power lingered, Yuan Zhao's quiet face gradually gathered back into life. His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he finally opened his eyes slowly, and his expression was momentarily dazed.
Le Yao gently held his cold hand and said softly: "Mother is here, Zhao'er don't be afraid." β
Yuan Zhao subconsciously returned a smile to her, but he suddenly stopped halfway. Le Yao initially thought it was because of the pain, but soon realized that it wasn't the caseβhis expression clearly remembered something extremely important.
Yuan Zhao opened his mouth to say something, but he was seriously injured and had just woken up from the ice coffin, although he was eager in his heart, his breath could not be slowed down for a while, and a series of suppressed coughs and wheezing suddenly aroused.
"Don't worry, don't worry," Seeing him like this, Le Yao's heart tightened, and he comforted him gently: "Say something slowly." β
The high priest suddenly put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "It is not easy for me to protect Yuanzhao's life, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it after Nirvana is over." β
It was rare for him to have such a serious time, Le Yao was startled, and he didn't dare to mention the previous before, and even the Empress Feng in the back couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this, and said loudly: "Zhao'er, you listen to the high priest." Now the big things are not as important as your safety. β
At the same time, here, with a stroke of the High Priest's fingertip technique, the Five Elements Yuan Force rose up, hovering around Yuan Zhao's body like a vortex, slowly lifting his body.
The power of vitality poured out endlessly from the depths of the Wutong Palace, and Yuan Zhao floated cross-legged in it, sensing countless subtle forces shuttling and intertwining in his body, soothing his pain while also controlling his movements irresistibly.
Yuan Zhao's heart gradually became suspicious, but his mind became a little clearer. After all, that matter was too important, and he couldn't care about it against the breath in his body, so he still said, "Qiming is still ......."
However, he was too reluctant after all, and as soon as he said a few vague words, he couldn't help choking out a mouthful of blood.
"You don't want to die?" the high priest reprimanded urgently, with a slight nervous look on his face, and hurriedly helped him regulate his breath, until the corners of Yuan Zhao's lips no longer overflowed with new blood.
But what Yuan Zhao wanted to say after that was pressed back by him again. Not only that, but in Yuan Zhao's own perception, the control of his body was ten times stronger than before, but with the unfathomable cultivation of the high priest, as long as he wanted to, then no one would notice anything unusual, not even the Phoenix King and the Phoenix Queen.
In the surging spiritual current, Yuan Zhao looked up at the high priest with difficulty. He still looked pale and weak, but his eyes shone like mirrors. He said two words silently, "Cheng Yuan." β
The high priest raised his hand and brushed Yuan Zhao's eyebrows, and the wide sleeves flickered, just blocking Yuan Zhao's lips and eyes at that moment. Intentionally or unintentionally, he chuckled and said, "Xiao Yuanzhao, I'm passing by to save you, don't make me embarrassed." β
Yuan Zhao couldn't help but close his eyes, but his heart was even more transparent about the cause and effect of the whole thing, and he immediately realized that the danger hidden in the real Qiming must be far greater than he had imagined before. It's a pity that no matter how anxious he is, with his current physical state, it is impossible for him to break free from the suppression of the high priest.
In desperation, Yuan Zhao felt his right hand being grasped, and he recognized that it was his father.
"Don't worry, I know it all. Through the connection of the same bloodline, Yu Heng's voice echoed in Yuan Zhao's heart, with a sense of stability that was familiar to him.
It turned out that my father already knew...... It's just wonderful.
Yuan Zhao's tense mind relaxed for a moment, and he still reluctantly replied with his lips: "Save him." β
- It's just that he closed his eyes, but he couldn't tell if his father had just seen clearly.
The last thought passed, and Yuan Zhao's consciousness was completely withdrawn from the real world and entered the derivative illusion of Nirvana.
The high priest raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Yu Heng casually, hooked his lips and smiled: "Sure enough, it still works for my father, and I will be born in peace." β
But Yu Heng was stunned for a moment, and he didn't even hear the high priest's banter at all. As Yuan Zhao wished, Yu Heng did see his mouth shape clearly, but it was diametrically opposite to what he expected in his heart - it was clear that Chengyuan was the real culprit behind it, why did Zhao'er say "save him" instead?
Yu Heng couldn't help but think about Fang Cai Yuanzhao's lips over and over again in his heart, wondering if he had misidentified it or missed other keys.
The High Priest withdrew his gaze and smiled thoughtfully, but did not interfere in any way.
"Okay," he began to wave his hand to drive away, "Le Yao Yuheng is standing farther away, it has already begun." β
Only then did everyone notice that the flame of Nirvana had actually risen from Yuan Zhao's body, but at the beginning of this flame, not only was it not a blazing temperature, but even the color was transparent, so it was difficult to detect it in the surrounding of the five elements of Yuan Force at this moment.
"What kind of fire is this?" Le Yao's clasped hands were subconsciously tightened.
The High Priest narrowed his eyes and said, "Look at it again." β
The surging spiritual power subsided.
Suddenly, a beam of morning light shone in, and a warm and peaceful light glow spread throughout the hall. The light follows the pure flame and is born.
The flames enveloped Yuan Zhao's figure in it, but the brilliance it brought was endless. From the origin of the deep roots of the sycamore, it rises towards the sky through layer after layer of palace, until it fills every corner of the vast phoenix abyss. Looking from afar, the auspicious clouds in the sky rise, the golden light is immense, and the sacredness is indescribable.
People looked up at this miraculous spectacle and forgot to breathe.
"Thank God......" Le Yao couldn't help but hold down her chest, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was as light as a dream. She didn't care about the significance behind this miracle, she only knew that her child would finally survive this catastrophe and finally be safe.
Ziwei is the head of the auspicious star, and the lord turns evil into auspiciousness, which can dispel all diseases, solve hundreds of misfortunes, and destroy all evils in the world. And the flame that appeared in front of people's eyes at this moment was named after Emperor Star Ziwei.
"Ziwei True Fire?"
For a moment, even the high priest lost his due peace, and his eyes were stunned at the light of the fire.
It must be known that Ziwei True Fire is the most upright and upright, and is revered by people as the head of all fires, and its status is supreme. Since ancient times, Ziwei True Fire has appeared only a handful of times, and all of them have been cultivated by the emperors of the True Sage Ming in history, and there has never been an example like Yuan Zhao.
"The more you live, the more you go back, you can't even tell the Ziwei True Fire?" Queen Feng and King Feng were already standing side by side with the high priest at the front. It's just that when Queen Feng said this, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
The high priest had no intention of arguing with her anymore, and sighed: "It's amazing. Although he had long known that Yuan Zhao was an extraordinary child, he never thought that his life could be so noble...... Your Feng clan is blessed. β
And at the same time, the high priest couldn't help but think of another thing in his heart-
Ziwei is the righteous, the red lotus is the evil, the two divine fires were originally rare existences, but now they have been born in just two years, which is really a strange thing in ancient times.
I don't know what kind of scene these two people will have when they meet, and what kind of strange meeting of fate can be? The High Priest's eyes were deep, hiding the interested smile on the corner of his lips.
Not far away, Ziwei's true fire was still flourishing, completely covering Yuan Zhao's figure, but no one present was worried. Since Ziwei True Fire was born from Yuan Zhao, it will not harm its invoker, but will only protect it. This is destined to be a process of nirvana without any danger.
Gradually, clusters of white flames separated from the flames, slowly drifting in, and quietly floated in front of everyone.
The high priest raised his eyebrows, a little unbelieving that he had a share. After a pause, he said, "Take it." This is a piece of Yuan Zhao's heart for you, not something wrong. β
Only then did the Feng clan retract their gaze from Yuan Zhao for the time being, and raised their hands to take the flames.
The flame is unsurprisingly warm and melts to the touch. It was like a clear spring slowly flowing through the heart, and everyone's eyebrows were stretched, and their hearts were at peace, as if all the shadows were no longer in this light.
Empress Feng was the first to open her eyes from a short period of meditation, turned to look at the high priest, and asked, "What, are you still afraid that Zhao'er will harm you?"
She obviously said this in a mocking tone, but the high priest really paused in his heart.
"I'm curious, let's look at it more. The High Priest snorted.
If you only talk about cultivation, a hundred Yuan Zhao can't be compared with the high priest, but this divine fire summoned by the Feng clan when he was nirvana has nothing to do with cultivation, it is a strange thing born with the power of heaven and earth. The more the Feng clan aligns with the corresponding flames, the more power they can borrow from the divine fire during Nirvana. It's just that the Nirvana process is often too painful, so that most of the Feng clan have no energy to be distracted.
Who would have thought that Yuan Zhao would be able to summon the anomaly of Ziwei True Fire? The High Priest dared to guarantee that if Yuan Zhao was nirvana when Cheng Yuan killed him, then take this opportunity to control Ziwei True Fire to counterattack, and even Cheng Yuan would definitely suffer a big loss.
Therefore, for the small cluster of Ziwei True Fire "gifted" to him by Yuan Zhao in front of him, the high priest really had to think about it.
He raised his hand to wrap the flames, and thought for a last moment between receiving and dispersing, and finally smiled slightly, and included it without defense, and sure enough, there was only benefit, and there was nothing abnormal.
"Yuan Zhao is such a good boy. The high priest sighed, and it was not at all noticeable to put it here.
At the same time as touching the flames, the high priest did understand some small tricks set up by Yuan Zhao - if he really did dissipate the flames, he would be hit instead. The high priest probably sensed that some of these effects had an effect on the mind, and although they were not stimulated, they were nothing more than some intentions to induce people to tell the truth.
With Yuan Zhao's consistent temperament, I think it is the same. After all, he knew that it was true that the high priest had saved him, and if the other party was not guarded against him, then he was the one who would not even use such a harmless method.
Guessed Yuan Zhao's mind correctly, he was still a little proud of the high priest's playfulness. It's just that at the same time, the high priest inevitably has some regrets that are difficult to talk about. He had already thought that if he made a mistake this time, he would simply be willing to gamble and lose, tell everything in one go, and completely mess up the layout of those people - wouldn't it be more interesting?
It's a pity, Xiao Yuanzhao is too good, and it's not interesting. The High Priest shook his head, and could only put away his impatience.
Empress Feng's gaze suddenly froze, she was silent for a moment, and said expressionlessly: "Cheng Xiaoqing." β
The four yin words floated into his ears, and the high priest's neck stood on end, and he didn't care that she called him by his real name in front of all the juniors, so he first subconsciously flashed to the side and shouted, "If you have something to say, you can say it." β
The Phoenix Queen was still looking ahead, but she was speechless for a while. Not only her, but everyone else also looked at Yuan Zhao's position, frozen-
Yuan Zhao was already missing there, and only an egg was missing.
A smooth, warm, crystalline phoenix egg.
Queen Feng said slowly: "This is what you promised, to help Yuan Zhao maintain his original body?"
The high priest said: "Isn't it that I have seen your family's Yuanzhao's Ziwei True Fire, I was shocked and forgot about it." β
Empress Feng lifted the high priest's collar with her backhand and smiled coldly: "Forgot?"
The high priest said sincerely: "Senior sister, I was wrong. β
"Children," Queen Feng looked at him for a moment, threw it down, and gave an order: "Call me!"
The eyes of all the Feng clans shone on the high priest.
The high priest laughed dryly, and suddenly teleported over and fished the phoenix egg in his hand, and before everyone could react, he floated in front of Le Yao in another instant.
"This great responsibility will be handed over to you," the high priest quickly pushed the phoenix egg into Le Yao's arms, and said solemnly: "Please hatch Yuan Zhao out again!"
Le Yao silently held the egg, and her expression was indescribable for a while.
"Cheng Xiaoqing, you will die for me!" Queen Feng directly slapped his head.
The high priest resolutely pulled his legs and fled, and ran out of the phoenix abyss.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them shrank into two black dots in the distant sky, leaving only the rest of the people to stay in place and sigh.
