In 1680, in the fairyland-like phoenix valley, it was very lively, countless guests exchanged glasses, the aroma of wine was overflowing, and the laughter was endless, and the scene was indescribable for a while. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The valley lord of Fenggu, his snow-white beard trembled with joy, and his monstrous laughter reached the ears of the soldiers guarding around Fenggu in bursts, and they couldn't help but reverie, but this time, they were thinking about the same thing, and it was not about the valley lord.
Such a scene, for the people of Fenggu Valley, is not something that can be seen often. In fact, such a festival happens every 100 years, but not as much as it has ever been.
The phoenix quietly hid behind the stone tablet on one side, and a pair of dark and deep eyes looked at the faces in the center of the square that were completely unfamiliar to her. But it doesn't matter, Fengxian doesn't care who they are, there is only one person she is looking for, and that person will become Fenggu's husband and marry Phoenix.
Thinking of this, Feng Xian's chest immediately ached, causing her to arch her waist slightly to suppress the pain.
Between the sights, the flags erected in all corners of the square swept past the eyes of the phoenix, and the names of various cities were like rain, endlessly intruding. Feng Xian looked at it and thought to himself, "Hmph, the battle is really not small, judging from this scale, half of the cities in the entire Flood Desolate Continent have been invited here." ”
Feng Xian's gaze briefly rested on the faces she had never seen before, and after about half an hour, she finally locked on to her target in the slightly dense crowd.
His gaze fell, and then quickly shifted to the banner next to the table where the man was sitting, "Deserted City." ”
Feng Xian chewed these two words, and suddenly felt incomprehensible, not to mention what the man was, but to say that with Feng Gu's current status, how could he choose to marry the precious princess into this city that had no name at all on the Flood Desolate Continent? Could it be that there was something special about that man?
Thinking of this, Feng Xian hurriedly moved his gaze back to the man's body, carefully looked at it from bottom to top, and roughly looked at it, about eight and a half feet tall, he looked quite tall, wearing a plain robe, but it was quite elegant, but in Feng Xian's view, he felt quite shabby.
Looking at that face again, although it is not ugly, it is definitely not handsome, with a dark complexion, with a nose bridge that looks like a collapse from any angle, and a big mouth that seems to be able to eat people, which makes people disgusted just by looking at it.
Feng Xian stared at the big mouth, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "What's going on with that mouth?" Is it because of some kind of evil skill cultivated in the deserted city, or is it because he was born like this. ”
After thinking for a moment and getting no results, Feng Xian hurriedly shifted her gaze so that she wouldn't really vomit out of nausea. Looking up again, Feng Xian's gaze finally stopped, and she stared at the man's eyes, "What kind of eyes are they, why can't you see anything?" ’
Yes, I couldn't see anything, and the man's eyes were clearly open. Even, Feng Xian felt a little that those strange eyes were meeting her gaze, and they looked at each other indifferently.
But why, why can't you see anything?
Feng Xian twisted her head slightly in annoyance, trying to jump over the question, but after a while, she found that those eyes seemed to have some kind of magical power, which attracted her gaze tightly, making her gradually feel that her body was out of control.
Feng Xian was a little panicked, but at this moment she could be sure that the man was indeed looking at her, and a slight playful smile gradually appeared on his face. It looks like an elder looking down on a younger generation who has nothing to do, full of indifference and ridicule.
Feng Xian's heart gradually became flustered by that smile, and she even began to regret why she was so curious, why she ran to peek at this man.
However, even though her heart was flustered, all the hardships that Fengxian had experienced since she was a child had taught her never to be afraid, so in this situation, she only made a short period of sluggishness, and then resolutely raised her feet, ready to face the man's strange smile, and fight him head-on.
Then at this moment, a sudden call from behind her suddenly pulled her back from her state of trance, only to hear "Xian'er, what are you doing here?"
That familiar voice is Mother!
Hearing this, Feng Xian hurriedly retracted her steps and turned to face the hostess of Feng Valley, her mother. Feng Xian also had some complaints in her heart about the relatively kind middle-aged woman in front of her, but that kind of complaint was not because of hatred, but because of the jealousy caused by not getting the love she wanted.
After all, over the years, whenever my father tried to torture Fengxian, the only one who was willing to stand up and say a few words was this mother.
Fengxian turned around, hesitated slightly, and still greeted softly, "Mother." ”
When the middle-aged woman heard this, a faint smile appeared on her flawless face like a finely carved jade, but unfortunately, that smile, in Feng Xian's opinion, was like a perfunctory smile to deal with guests.
The middle-aged woman smiled, and asked with a little tenderness in her flat tone, "Xian'er, what are you looking at?"
I don't know when, the phoenix who instinctively lowered her head, heard the inquiry, her head quickly raised uncontrollably, and after glancing at the middle-aged woman, she immediately lowered it again.
Knowing the horror of the mother in front of her, and knowing that she couldn't have any secrets to hide from her, Feng Xian replied almost without hesitation, "I want to see what the man my sister is about to marry is like." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman's gaze gently drifted to the man in the distance, and then quickly shifted back, "What do you think of him?" ”
There is a question that Feng Xian has not been able to solve since she was a child, that is, how did her mother's demonic nature always maintain a calm tone like stagnant water at all times.
That tone made her very distressed, because she could never tell from that tone what every word spoken by the person in front of her me.
Just like now, the phoenix with her head down can't tell whether the middle-aged woman is angry or simply asking.
In front of such a person, answering honestly is the only option. Feng Xian thought so, and said, "I don't think he is worthy of his sister." ”
When the words came out, Feng Xian immediately felt a little remorseful, she didn't have the slightest sense of family affection for Phoenix, she shouldn't have said such a thing, but just now, for some reason, she slipped out of such offensive words.
But why? That man is indeed ugly, but the ugly man is matched with the phoenix he hated since he was a child, isn't it just his heart?
It was a long time before the phoenix finally understood what it was like to feel about that man that day. It was disgust, even fear, as if as long as she saw that person, the survival instinct in Feng Xian's heart would immediately wake up, urging her to stay away quickly, not allowing her to have the slightest chance to get close to the man.
"Oh. After the middle-aged woman got the answer, she only responded lightly, and when the words landed, she had already raised her feet and walked towards the guests on the outside.
Feng Xian realized her departure, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, who knew that this breath had not been able to be fully vented, the middle-aged woman suddenly paused, and the calm words came out again, "Go and call the phoenix out, after a while, the valley lord should announce the marriage." ”
"Yes! I'll go right away. After the phoenix received the commanding words for her, Nono replied as she raised her foot and moved towards the phoenix's residence in the valley.
Behind him, the noise that had just been deliberately isolated from him sounded again.
'How incompatible is that kind of joy with a person like herself!' Feng Xian thought, and the sour feeling in her heart overflowed slightly.
After a stick of incense, Fengxian arrived in the Phoenix Tower, which was next door to his residence, but it seemed to be a strange place like a century away.
Standing under the antique, wide eaves, although the phoenix tried to restrain his gaze and prevent them from moving wantonly, the pain that had been deeply rooted in his heart for decades could not be easily buried.
Eventually, her gaze moved to her own residence next door. "Compared with this tall and majestic Phoenix Tower, my house is like a subordinate living in. ”
The simple bluestone tile houses are stacked one after another, and because they have not been renovated for many years, there will be individual holes dripping water on rainy days. The three huts that stand around each other barely form the pattern of the courtyard, but unfortunately, because no one has come for a long time, let alone overnight stay, the other two huts have long been dilapidated.
In the past, Feng Xian would occasionally take time to clean, but after a long time, everything would return to the way it was, and in the end, she also felt tired and let it go.
Besides, the room where Fengxian himself lived, the furnishings in the house were also amazingly simple, a wooden bed, a table, and a few cabinets were all the furniture, and anyone could easily see the room as long as they stood in front of the door.
Feng Xian thought back, I don't know how many days, even she didn't want to go back to the room that can only be described as 'nest', so for countless days, she escaped in the martial arts training ground, regardless of practicing day and night, just to be able to completely train her body to the point of extreme fatigue, so that after going back, she could lie down and rest directly, and had no time to think about anything else.
Crazy anesthetized his own phoenix, from time to time he will be confused, he will feel dizzy, and he will not be able to figure out the meaning of his existence.
In the middle of the night when lightning and thunder were blowing, and the wind was blowing, she lay on the wooden bed that creaked at the slightest movement, her eyes widened, and she let the tears flow endlessly, she hoped that when the tears flowed, she would become invincible, and no one or anything could hurt her.
The phoenix fairy standing under the eaves of the Phoenix Building couldn't stop smiling bitterly, swallowing the blood that kept dripping from her heart, and her face reawakened the insipid expression of perseverance to annoyance, and strode into this luxurious building that seemed to her as a child and was like a palace.
It's just that the time to enter is far less than the phoenix imagined, and after about a cup of tea, the phoenix strode out of the phoenix tower and stood straight in the sun.
"People go to the empty building. After entering the boudoir of the phoenix, after a few glances, the phoenix already knew that the phoenix should have chosen to run away because her father forced her to marry a strange man.
Standing beside the large, comfortable and luxurious bed that Phoenix slept in every night, Fengxian couldn't help but stretch out her hand to feel the comfort of the bed, but just when her palm was about to reach the quilt, her reason stopped her in time.
Feng Xian, who had regained her senses, took a few steps back in a little frightened.
"No, no!" In the blink of an eye, Feng Xian screamed in her heart and ran outside the Phoenix Tower.
The sunlight was so dazzling that the phoenix almost felt that she couldn't open her eyes.
For a while, she fell into confusion, "I didn't expect that weak sister to have the courage to do such a crazy thing!"
But even though she said that, the phoenix who discovered such a fact still couldn't help but feel extremely envious in her heart, just because the phoenix did what she didn't dare to do!
Over the years, it seems that the pain will never end, and she has forgotten how many times she has thought about leaving, but it is a pity that no matter how strong she is, such a decisive step will never be able to get out.
Feng Xian thought, raised her head, greeted the sun, her eyes widened fearlessly, and the voice of words slipped out from between her lips, "Phoenix, Phoenix, you are really happy when you go like this, but I can't help myself, but I have to find you back." ”
Many times, Feng Xian hated her cowardice towards the strange pair of parents, and she didn't know why treating her parents like that would have such a deep effect on her, so that as long as they spoke, Feng Xian would go out of her way to complete it.
When she was a little sensible, Fengxian had heard others say that such behavior was doing senseless flattery. At that time, she simply thought that what she did, what she hoped for, and what she did was a little improvement in their attitude.
However, later, after Feng Xian's heart was completely dead, this fact was not changed in the slightest. It was from that time that Feng Xian realized that everything was due to other reasons that he could not understand.
"Okay," the phoenix shook her head slightly, trying to put aside the complicated confusion for a while. She turned around and moved again, walking resolutely towards the path behind Fenggu.
The phoenix knew that if the phoenix chose to go, it would inevitably choose the inaccessible path.
Because, that way, she still told Phoenix. It's just that the phoenix doesn't know, and that's also the retreat of the phoenix.
Under the scorching sun, the figure of the phoenix flickered forward, and today because of the gathering in the valley, the guards scattered all over the place have been reduced, which also provides a little convenience for her whereabouts.
The taste of the phoenix, on the road of the phoenix's efforts, gradually has clear signs.
However, when Fengxian caught the smell for the first time, her footsteps had a tendency to stop a little.
For the first time in her life, she hesitated, she hesitated, she was weighing and thinking, 'If Phoenix is allowed to leave like this, her status may be improved, maybe she will not have to live such a humble life anymore, and she may even be able to live in Phoenix's luxurious building.'" ’
"Huh. Thinking of this, a sneer uncontrollably tugged at Fengxian's mouth, "It turns out that I am still so weak, and to this day, I still have extravagant hopes." ”
Ridicule is always so hurtful, especially when the other party is yourself, it hurts the most.
An hour later, at a corner cliff in the Phoenix Valley where she had left, the phoenix caught up with the phoenix who was trekking with a burden on her back.
When she saw the back of the phoenix, the phoenix stopped, and after hesitating for a moment, she chose to speak, "Phoenix!"
When the phoenix heard the sound, he immediately stopped, but refused to look back for a long time.
Seeing this, Feng Xian knew how agitated and embarrassed her heart was at this moment.
After a long time, the phoenix finally turned around, faced the phoenix from a distance, and slowly opened his mouth with difficulty, "Did your father ask you to arrest me back?"
Hearing this, Feng Xian smiled faintly, and didn't want to say the words, so she couldn't help but slide out her lips, "You should know that it is impossible for you to leave." Feng Xian said, moved his steps again, and walked slowly forward!
Seeing the phoenix coming forward, the phoenix immediately retreated back again and again because of fright, or more appropriately, despair.
Seeing the movement of the phoenix, the phoenix unconsciously raised her eyebrows, because she was facing the phoenix, so she could easily see the edge of the cliff behind the phoenix, and at the same time she also knew that the phoenix was already panicking at this moment, and if the phoenix continued to retreat like this, there would be only one ending: that is, falling off the cliff.
However, even though she was aware of this fact, Fengxian's feet were still moving forward, and even though reason was buzzing and warning, her feet seemed to be very eager to step forward.
One step, two steps, three steps. The buzzing sound in his head finally stopped, because the phoenix stopped in his tracks.
At this moment, Feng Xian's heart suddenly couldn't stop panicking, or fear. It's just that it's not anyone or anything on the outside that she's afraid of, it's herself!
"What's wrong with me?" the phoenix asked herself silently, "Indeed, I do hate the phoenix, before she was born, my life was much better, her existence took away everything that should belong to me, making my life like hell." But do I really hate her to the point where I want her to die?"
Fengxian's thinking was suddenly a little confused, she didn't know how to think about it, how to do it, for a while, she could only choose to look at the phoenix.
Seeing that the phoenix had finally stopped chasing after the phoenix, he immediately stopped. Seeing that Fengxian didn't mean to speak, Phoenix thought that her belief had been shaken, and she was desperate, so she hurriedly said, "Fengxian, why don't we leave together, you are not happy here, and the father and queen mother are not good to you, but let's go out together, see the outside world, and stay away from these rights and wrongs." ”
These words, word by word, came into Feng Xian's ears, like a drum hammer, hitting her chaotic thinking one by one, unexpectedly, such a messy and painful beating, but unconsciously gradually sorted out the chaotic thinking.
So the phoenix's gaze became clear little by little.
When the phoenix saw this, he thought that what he said just now had really moved the phoenix, so he eagerly continued, "My father asked me to marry a man I have never seen before, and I will never be able to do such a thing. Phoenix paused, as if sorting out the words she wanted to say, and finally, she seemed to have found the words that she was confident that would definitely convince Feng Xian, "Feng Xian, you and I sisters, for so many years, I can see what happened to you clearly, although I don't know why my parents want to treat you like that, but I think, probably because they don't regard you as their daughter at all, you are just a tool for them." Fengxian, our fate should not be at their mercy, leave with me, let's continue to walk like this, go to the outside world, and live our true selves. ”
'Don't treat you as their daughter' 'Just a tool'
Such words, every word was like a sharp sword, stabbed fiercely in Feng Xian's chest, and the pain hit violently, causing darkness in front of her eyes one after another, but she had already made a decision, she raised her feet and stepped forward again!
Phoenix was forced to keep backing away, not realizing she was on the edge of a cliff.
The sound of the movement of the large group of people behind the phoenix that the phoenix had already heard gradually became clear, and it was obvious that someone had noticed the disappearance of the phoenix and was rushing to this side.
So the phoenix quickened her pace, and in the blink of an eye, she had reached the position where the phoenix had stood when the previous conversation had occurred.
And Phoenix's feet are already standing on the edge of the cliff, just continue to take a step back, and she will be greeted by an abyss.
The sound of the large group of people behind Fengxian came clearly. Fengxian knew that she could not delay any longer, so she took a crucial step.
Seeing this, Phoenix panicked, and her body stepped back.
What happened next seemed vague and unimportant.
Looking at the figure of the phoenix that is gradually disappearing in the abyss. Tears that hadn't appeared in years quickly hit the phoenix's face.
In a breath, she perfectly hid what was happening here, turned around, and hid her figure!
