The nights are always cold, Shen Zhifeng looked at the vermilion bird trembling in the palm of his hand, and decided to find a place to shelter from the wind first.

After searching for a while, she finally found an abandoned Taoist temple at the city gate. She lit a fire talisman and observed the Taoist temple by the light. This Taoist temple is not very large, the abandoned futon lies quietly in front of the statue, and the incense burner falls to the ground and no one supports it.

Shen Zhifeng glanced around, placed the Vermilion Bird on the relatively clean windowsill, rolled up his sleeves and began to clean. The house was covered in dust and cobwebs, and it was still a bit difficult to clean.

The statue had an indifferent face and stared at Shen Zhifeng quietly. Although the appearance is very good-looking and angular, it can't help but give people a sense of alienation, and it is two completely different styles from Emperor Yuxuan.

Shen Zhifeng held the broom conjured out of thin air, looked at the idol suspiciously, and said to himself: "Who is this, why have I never seen it?"

Suzaku looked complicated, and then turned his head.

Shen Zhifeng didn't think that anyone could answer him at all, and continued to muttered to himself: "Since the Jade Xuan Emperor Daoist Temple came to Yuecheng, there is no room for a second temple here. I really don't know if everyone's prayer is for his appearance or if it is a blessing. ”

"Probably because he's a good man. Suzaku answered coldly.

Shen Zhifeng was stunned for a while, and suddenly asked as if he thought of something, "Do you know him?"

Suzaku nodded: "It's familiar." ”

Shen Zhifeng's eyes immediately sparkled: "So does he really look as good-looking as he did in the Taoist temple?"

Suzaku smiled and said, "The face of that god is less than one-tenth of his, and the immortals are all very good-looking." ”

Shen Zhifeng's face was full of envy, and he observed the Vermilion Bird by the way. Although it is in the form of a bird now, if it becomes an immortal in the future, I am afraid it will also look good.

Suzaku sensed what she was thinking, and waved her wings helplessly: "My current spell is not enough to support my human form, so you don't need to have too many illusions about me." ”

Shen Zhifeng blinked his eyes and said casually: "Then you will transform into a human form in the future, can you let me see it?"

The firelight flickered slightly, reflecting her twinkling eyes like clear pools of water.

Suzaku was a little dazed, and for some reason he was touched in the depths of his heart. Such a simple expression was something he hadn't seen for a long time, whether in the mortal world or the fairy world.

Shen Zhifeng pursed his mouth and sighed depressedly.

Seeing that she seemed unhappy, Suzaku hurriedly jumped on her shoulder and promised, "In this way, after I succeed in the tribulation, I will definitely go to the Taoist temple to see you in the form of an immortal." ”

Shen Zhifeng raised his eyelids: "Is this true?"

"I've always been a man of words. Suzaku said seriously.

Shen Zhifeng suddenly laughed, stretched out his little thumb and said to Suzaku: "Then let's pull the hook." ”

Suzaku looked at his wings, thought for a while, and turned one of the wings into a slender hand and hooked Shen Zhifeng's little thumb.

The hand was soft and warm.

Shen Zhifeng was shocked, and he forgot the oath of pulling the hook. She stared at this beautiful hand for a long time, and asked curiously, "Is this your hand when you were in human form?" Seeing Suzaku nodding, she continued, "Then are you particularly good-looking?"

Suzaku's eyes flashed: "So to speak. ”

This made Shen Zhifeng even more curious, and hooked its little thumb tightly and said, "Then let's say okay, if you succeed in the tribulation, you must let me see what you really are!"

"That's it. Suzaku said seriously.

After Shen Zhifeng withdrew his fingers, he continued to clean in the Taoist temple. Her mood was much better than before, and she hummed softly.

Suzaku was on her shoulder, cleaning with her. Shen Zhifeng even thought that it would be good if time stopped at this moment, simple and happy.

Thinking of this, she asked, intentionally or unintentionally, "What will happen if the tribulation is not successful?"

Suzaku's face suddenly became gloomy: "It will become an ordinary sparrow, and it will take thousands of years of cultivation again to have a human form." "It's too cruel for him.

It turned out that Suzaku was going to face a very big catastrophe at this time, and because of its strong strength, it attracted a demon, so it failed in this tribulation. If you want to survive again, you must recover your spiritual power, and this time will be your last chance.

For the immortals, either they succeed in the tribulation, or they are beaten back to their original form.

Shen Zhifeng pursed his lips and sighed: "Fortunately, I am a mortal, if I fail to ascend in the future, I will just turn back into a mortal." ”

"You're naïve. Suzaku said, "From the earth to the heavens, and from the heavens to the earth, are two completely different concepts. ”

Shen Zhifeng said that he couldn't understand, and Suzaku didn't elaborate, just hoping that she would never understand.

She felt that she should not become an immortal with such a low level of cultivation, so she took this as a deaf ear.

It's just that I didn't expect that this sentence turned out to be a prophecy later.

Shen Zhifeng finally cleaned up the Taoist temple, and when he turned his head to look at the Vermilion Bird, he found that it was asleep on his shoulder. Its body was still the size of a palm, and it fell asleep tightly against Shen Zhifeng's neck, as if it was very relieved.

She smiled softly and carried Suzaku to the futon. After that, a fire was lit with dry wood piled up in the temple to illuminate the entire temple. She huddled in the corner of the flame on her knees, her eyes staring at the fire in a daze.

The night was long, and she had a lot on her mind.

She didn't know what kind of expression the people in the Taoist temple would look like when they found out that she had left for a Suzaku. She Shen Zhifeng had already thought of the senior brother's hatred of iron and steel, as well as the second senior brother's frowning brows and mocking words.

Thinking like this, Shen Zhifeng kept his legs in a position and fell asleep. She had a long, long dream, but she couldn't remember exactly what she had dreamed of.

When she opened her eyes again, the flames had been extinguished and the sky was bright outside. She felt like she had spent a night here as long as she had lived.

The streets are bustling with people, announcing the start of the day.

Suzaku had already woken up, and her body was significantly larger. Yesterday it was hidden in the palm of her hand, but today it was almost as long as her arm. At this moment, it was flying around in the Taoist temple, as if it was testing the spiritual power in its body.

Shen Zhifeng slowed down for a while before coming back to his senses, and asked casually, "Are you about to regain your original strength?"

Suzaku stopped flying in the air, shook his head depressedly, and said, "It's still early." ”

Shen Zhifeng sighed, and his stomach actually screamed at this time.

Suzaku had a hint of contempt on his face: "Haven't you been Bigu yet?"

Shen Zhifeng's cheeks suddenly flushed, and he shouted unwillingly: "Isn't it embarrassing that I didn't Bigu, haven't you ever been hungry?"

"I have been in the valley hundreds of years ago. Suzaku said expressionlessly, then looked at Shen Zhifeng's pouting appearance, and added, "However, I can accompany you to eat." ”
