After teasing Shen Zhifeng's heartstrings, Suzaku suddenly fell to the ground with his head tilted.

Shen Zhifeng nervously leaned over and found that it was asleep. She sighed helplessly, put the retracted arm-sized Suzaku on the futon and covered the quilt, and then lit a fire on the side, and sat down with her knees hugged.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and the firelight in the Taoist temple was almost lost its color when illuminated by the sun.

Shen Zhifeng had been in a state of confusion, thinking of the appearance of Fang Cai Suzaku, something was sprouting in his heart.

She had only seen the phoenix in the portrait on weekdays, but this time she saw it with her own eyes, and she was immersed in shock for a long time. She thought that Suzaku was an ordinary spirit animal, and it wasn't until she saw the phoenix flying in the glowing Taoist temple that she realized what great thing she had raised.

No wonder the demon would take a fancy to it, such a powerful force even shook itself.

Shen Zhifeng suddenly had an idea, if he told Master that the Vermilion Bird was actually a phoenix, would he be able to continue raising it in the Jade Xuanguan?

Thinking like this, Shen Zhifeng suddenly stood up with his eyes shining. She planted an enchantment around the sleeping Suzaku, and then secretly went out of the Taoist temple.

In any case, it is man-made.

In this way, she went straight back to Yuxuanguan. Pedestrians on the road greeted her with a greeting that they knew her, and she just smiled and smiled. She only thinks about keeping Suzaku and being able to return to the Taoist temple now.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, he bumped into Shen Lingli who came out of the Taoist temple angrily.

"What is it...... he gritted his teeth and said, after raising his eyes and seeing that it was Shen Zhifeng, his face became even more ugly, "Senior sister, you have figured it out and decided not to raise that little monster anymore?"

Shen Zhifeng rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't figure it out, but I wanted to say something to my master." ”

Shen Lingli waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm afraid that Master won't be willing to listen to what you say, he is now angry with Senior Brother inside!"

His words were beyond Shen Zhifeng's expectations.

On weekdays, Senior Brother listens to Master's words the most, and can easily make the same judgment as Master. Since she can remember, almost everyone in the Taoist temple has contradicted the master, and only the senior brother himself will not argue with the master no matter how much he has been wronged.

Shen Zhifeng was very curious, and couldn't help asking, "Are you sure that the master is angry with the senior brother?"

"What I saw with my own eyes can be fake?" Shen Lingli said, and couldn't help but clench his fists, "Senior Brother wants to continue to investigate the matter of Yuecheng's demons, but Master disagrees. ”

His eyes were extremely cold when he said this, and it seemed that he was also dissatisfied with this matter.

Shen Zhifeng frowned, puzzled by Master's inexplicable thoughts. The matter of Yuecheng was asked by the master to be investigated, and now it is not allowed to be investigated, so no one can understand it.

Shen Lingli probably saw Shen Zhifeng's doubts, and explained impatiently.

It turned out that after Shen Xiu saw the true face of the demon in the Taoist temple yesterday, he understood the great power of the demon. He asked all his disciples to stop the investigation just because he wanted to protect them from harm.

However, Shen Youyan believes that the demon has begun to harm the people of Yuecheng and must be completely resolved. He didn't approve of protecting himself and didn't care about the safety of the city's citizens, so he had a confrontation with his master.

Shen Xiu was very angry, and immediately punished the person who stood on the same position as Shen Heyan. And Shen Lingli, as the second senior brother, was punished the worst, and he couldn't go back to the Taoist temple for three days.

Shen Zhifeng suddenly thought of the appearance of Shen Xiu's extermination of the vulgar monk last night, and he couldn't help but stand up with sweat all over his body. That kind of murderous look, like a person in the demon world.

She didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly entered the Taoist temple. Not long after the Taoist temple opened, there were already many people praying in front of it. Shen Zhifeng cautiously bypassed to the backyard and went straight to Shen Xiu's room.

Before he could push the room open, he heard the sound of an argument coming from inside. She listened carefully, not only Shen Heyan's voice, but also Shen Qingyang's voice persuading the two.

Shen Zhifeng knocked on the door, and the quarrel inside had not stopped. She had no choice but to push open the door by herself, but she didn't expect the eyes of the three people to focus at the same time.

She smiled awkwardly and saluted to Master Shen.

Shen Youyan saw Shen Zhifeng coming in, and the anger on his face became even more obvious. He strode over, glared at Shen Zhifeng, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you embarrassed to come back and throw that sparrow away?"

"Xiaoyu is not a sparrow, it's a Vermilion Bird, no, it's a phoenix!" Shen Zhifeng heard this, and defended himself dissatisfied.

Shen Xiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and repeated, "It's actually a phoenix?"

Shen Zhifeng nodded, walked in front of Shen Youyan, and said to Shen Xiu respectfully: "Don't hide it from Master, I came back today to talk about this matter." This morning, Suzaku drank tea and got drunk, and it turned out to be a phoenix in its original form. I don't think it's a small monster, and it's definitely a spirit animal. Therefore, I hope that Master will let me raise it in the Taoist temple. ”

When Shen Xiu heard this, he hesitated even more.

Shen Youyan immediately grabbed Shen Zhifeng's arm, and said coldly with a gloomy face: "Senior sister, if it is really a phoenix, we can't raise it." I heard that the demon personally found it last night, and if it hadn't been for Master's intervention, I'm afraid we would have been in danger a long time ago. So, for everyone's safety, you might as well let it go. ”

"But it's wounded, it can't protect itself, and letting it go is like sending it to death. Shen Zhifeng protested.

Shen Xiu sighed deeply and said, "Actually, I also agree with what He said. Do you know why Yuecheng suddenly behaved in a demonic way?" Seeing Shen Zhifeng shaking his head, he said seriously, "It's very likely that the phoenix is in Yuecheng. ”

The monsters covet the power of the Suzaku so they look for it with the aim of devouring it.

Shen Zhifeng finally understood why Suzaku repeatedly asked for his own release, just because he didn't want to drag her down. Thinking of this, her heart is not a taste.

Shen Youyan continued: "Now the demon is no longer only harming cultivators with low spells, it has targeted the common people. Last night alone, seven or eight people were killed. Have you seen the people praying in the temple, they were all victims of last night!"

It is precisely because the vulgar Shang saw that the Suzaku was determined to settle in Yuecheng that he wanted to accumulate strength here, so as to devour the Suzaku who had failed to survive the tribulation and had not yet recovered his spiritual power! The sudden increase in the number of prayers today was also caused by the vulgar shang.

Shen Zhifeng lowered his head, clenched his fists fiercely, and stopped talking. Tangled emotions tore at her and forced her to make a trade-off.

Shen Xiu saw that she couldn't make a decision for a long time, and said lightly: "The power of this demon is too strong, you will definitely be injured if you go to Yuecheng to find it again." Therefore, for everyone's safety, you now have only two options. ”

"What choice?" asked Shen Zhifeng.

Shen Xiu said: "First, release the Vermilion Bird outside Yuecheng. Second, you leave with the Suzaku until it can be released. ”
