After getting to know the old man a little from the man's mouth, Zhong Yu couldn't help but be a little curious about him, it is said that the old man has lived alone in a small building in the clan land since ancient times, and the clan lord will visit him every seven days, and some young children in the clan often go to listen to him tell stories about the gods that have been covered with historical dust, and Ye'an is a frequent visitor among them, but the truth of the story is unknown.

The three of them walked and chatted, and after about a meal, they came to a small building, where four round moonstones hung from the eaves to light the way for the clansmen, and the small building looked a little old, and the clan lord stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door: 'Grandpa, are you there?'

After his words fell, the surroundings fell silent, and it didn't take long for the wooden door to slowly open, and an old man with white beard, white hair and white robe appeared in front of Zhong Yu. "Patriarch, why are you here today?"

The old man's voice was clear and his tone was very calm, but his eyes were fixed on Zhong Yu when he said this. The patriarch told the story, and the old man smiled slightly after hearing this: "You are finally here" The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and Ye An hurriedly asked: "Old man, do you know that Brother Zhong is coming?"

The old man turned and walked towards the attic, and the three of them followed. The furnishings inside are very simple, only some tables and chairs and a few bookshelves, there are a lot of chairs here, it seems that they should be used by those young children when they come, the four of them sat down, the old man stared at Zhong Yu and said slowly: "I have been waiting for you for 50,000 years"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were shocked, especially Zhong Yu couldn't believe the words of the old man in front of him at all, the old man continued: "When I first heard the name of Suzaku when I was very young, I was deeply shocked by its power, and since then I can't help but worship Suzaku, but the decisive battle of the four holy beasts has been over for a long time, and there is no shadow of them in the divine realm, I have tried to follow the traces of Suzaku because of the fanaticism in my heart, and there are many footprints left in the divine realm, and I will be excited every time I search for something about Suzaku." ”

"Huh?"

Night's mouth opened wide when she heard this, perhaps what the old man said now subverted a certain image in her heart. The old man glanced at Ye'an and continued: "I came here 50,000 years ago, but at that time I had not lived much, just an old man who was about to die, I thought that my life would end like this, but who knew that I accidentally broke into a strange place.

It was very secretive, there was no trace of any creature, I guessed that it was an ancient ruin, but after entering it, I found many murals about the sacred beast Suzaku, and I understood that it was a ruin of a race that had followed Suzaku, and I was very excited, but I didn't have much life left, and while I was waiting for death, a miracle was born. ”

The old man seemed to be recalling that scene many years ago, and he said slowly: "A little red light suddenly appeared, and then quickly extended into a holy beast Vermilion Bird!" The three of them were even more surprised when they heard this, and the old man said: "After the Vermilion Bird appeared, I told me that someone would come to look for it in the near future, but at that time it may no longer be there, so let me wait for that person here instead of it." ”

Zhong Yu was shocked in his heart: "It said it is no longer there?" The old man nodded slightly, Zhong Yu frowned slightly, could it be that Suzaku had already predicted his fate and fell in these 50,000 years? Or did he go somewhere else? For a moment, Zhong Yu only felt powerless, as if the road in front of him was bleak in an instant, and he could no longer see any hope.

The old man still recounted: "Suzaku said that it was fate to see me, and asked me if I would like to wait for that person for it, I agreed without hesitation, and then rushed out of Suzaku from Suzaku to envelop me, and I heard Suzaku say in a hazy consciousness, stepping into the air outside the territory, the flame of the black devil, the Vermilion Bird is coming, and the divine realm is reborn." Zhong Yu was slightly stunned: "What do these four sentences seem to portend?"

The old man continued: "After it finished speaking, it told me to wait for that person, and then the red light went out. After the old man's voice fell, the room fell silent, and after a while, Ye'an suddenly asked, "Old man, how do you know that you are waiting for Brother Zhong?"

The old man glanced at Ye An kindly, and then looked at Zhong Yu: "Because I feel that my life is coming to an end, and it is the first time in tens of thousands of years that I have felt this way, so I guess that person must be you." "The patriarch and Ye'an were shocked when they heard this, and Ye'an's eyes were even more misty: 'Grandpa, you..."

"Girl, you should be happy for me, I finally completed the task entrusted to me by Suzaku back then, but this time is too long. After speaking, the old man looked at Zhong Yu: "You want to go to the ruins of the Cangyan clan?" Zhong Yu nodded, and the old man smiled: "Okay, I'll take you there"

After speaking, he stood up, Zhong Yu followed behind him silently, and Ye An was about to follow when he saw this, but was stopped by the clan master: "An'er, you and I don't get involved in the rest of the things." Good Night looked at the old man's disappearing back, and two lines of tears slowly slipped down.

After the old man went out, he jumped over, his body was already dozens of meters away, Zhong Yu saw this and let go of the speed to keep up, the speed of the two was not very fast but not slow, the old man took Zhong Yu and soon left the Baiyun Clan, he jumped in the mountains and forests, Zhong Yu followed behind, the old man did not speak all the way, Zhong Yu naturally remained silent, the bright moonlight sprinkled, and the white robe on the old man's body shone brighter and brighter.

Some of the demonic beasts in the mountains and forests were swept away by Zhong Yu's momentum and lay on the ground and did not dare to make any movements, they were unimpeded along the way, and I don't know when the two of them went up to a mountain. About three hours later, the old man walked into a cave with Zhong Yu, the entrance of which was a little higher up the mountainside, and it was indeed relatively remote, and it was surrounded by weeds, and it was difficult to find it in general.

After the old man entered it, he took out a piece of moonstone to light the way ahead, this cave is very large, almost able to accommodate ten people in parallel, it didn't take long for them to see a fork, the old man walked towards the left cave entrance with ease, Zhong Yu couldn't help but ask at this moment: "Senior, it seems that you often come here?"

The old man nodded slightly: "I do come often, and occasionally I go to that place to sit in my spare time, I think that is the closest place to Suzaku for me." "There are many forks in the cave, and some of the places they pass through are very hidden.

After walking for a while, the old man suddenly stopped, in front of the two of them was a pool, Zhong Yu couldn't see how big the pool was, the old man said at this time: "We are almost there" After speaking, he jumped directly into the water, Zhong Yu followed after a little hesitation, and they swam a small half pillar of incense before going ashore, and there was still a huge cave in front of them. The old man pointed to the cave and smiled: "The front is"

After speaking, Zhong Yu followed him around the corner, and the scene that appeared in front of him made Zhong Yu stunned, this is really a clan land. In the empty belly of the mountain, countless huge stones have been converted into houses for human habitation, so that those houses look strange, but many of them have been corrupted by time, and most of them are dilapidated.

Zhong Yufei looked at it in the air, there were about tens of thousands of meters in circumference, and the portrait of Suzaku could be vaguely seen on the wall on the side, not only on the wall, but also on some stone houses, and even the house was directly carved into the shape of Suzaku. This must be the site of the Cangyan Clan, Zhong Yu had no doubt in his heart, he fell down and looked at the old man and smiled: "Senior, I don't know how you found this place back then." ”

The old man smiled and replied: "It should be the guidance of the Vermilion Bird in the Dark" Zhong Yu nodded slightly, but this place is so big, Zhong Yu didn't know what to do for a while, the old man seemed to see Zhong Yu's thoughts, he said as he walked: "Follow me"

Zhong Yu followed behind him when he heard the words, and it didn't take long for the two to come to a stone house that most resembled a vermilion bird, the old man entered it by himself, Zhong Yu followed up and found that there were almost no furnishings in it, except for a red statue of a vermilion bird, the material of the statue looks very similar to red dust jade, it is said that this jade can contain the laws of heaven and earth, Zhong Yu has robbed many gods and men so far but has never seen a piece, but never thought that there is such a large piece here.

The old man looked at Zhong Yu and said, "The rest is up to you, I can only help here." Zhong Yu nodded slightly, he stared at the Vermilion Bird statue for a while, and then a cluster of flames suddenly rose in his hand, and the old man was immediately excited when he saw this flame: "Sure enough, it's the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame!"

At the same time, when the flames burst out in Zhong Yu's hand, the Suzaku statue suddenly bloomed with ten thousand rays of light, and for a while, the entire house was covered with red light. But Zhong Yu didn't feel dazzling at all, he stared at the Suzaku statue without blinking, suddenly, the statue's wings moved slightly, and the next moment suddenly let out a loud sound, and then the statue actually came to life, and the two of them were shocked in their hearts.

The old man even knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed three times in a row: "The Vermilion Bird is on top, I finally lived up to your expectations and waited for that person!" In the next moment, the entire stone house suddenly turned into powder, and the red jade Vermilion Bird fluttered its wings and flew, and at the same time, a voice echoed in the entire mountain: "Junior, the deity planned that you would come here to find me, and I also know that you are for the sake of the beings in the divine realm, this disaster is extremely serious and cannot be easily resolved, fortunately, you have the breath of the four holy beasts and the hard work left by the deity back then." ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Yu slowly floated out a red token in the storage bag, which was the one given to him by the elders of the two clans. Just listening to the voice and continuing: "Refining it and the breath of the three holy beasts with the purest Vermilion Bird Divine Flame, you will gain unprecedented power, but after dissolving this calamity, your body will turn into a wisp of Heavenly Dao, if you can't comprehend the law of the unity of heaven and man, you will be trapped in Heavenly Dao forever!"

Zhong Yu frowned slightly when he heard this: "Can the seniors explain what it means to turn into the Heavenly Dao?" And where are you now, senior, can't you come to rescue the beings in the Divine Realm?" "The deity has already extinguished all emotions, and the sentient beings in the Deity are no different from plants and trees in the eyes of the deity, they are not worthy of being saved by the deity, if you don't know that there will be someone who will inherit the deity's fire in many years, you can't get the help of the deity, as for where the deity is, you will naturally know after you resolve this disaster." ”
