Under a plane tree in the land of nine secluded places, Ying Zheng grilled a lot of fish, except for two of which he ate, the rest were eaten by Jiu'er.

It is also a loss to build a few fires and roast them together, otherwise they will not be able to finish the roasting until dawn.

After eating until midnight, Jiu'er was finally full, and after flying for a day, he must have been tired, so he flew up to the branch and fell asleep deeply.

Dapeng never left, as if he was worried about Jiu'er's safety, and said that he would send Jiu'er back to the Ice and Snow Region after dawn.

Ying Zheng chatted with it for a few words, but there was really no topic, so he also fell asleep.

As soon as the Shaoyang in the air shone brightly, Jiu'er woke up, and it woke up Ying Zheng and said: "Oh no, I was so full of patronage last night that I forgot that my mother asked us to go and go back quickly." ”

Ying Zheng said: "It's not easy to travel at night, in case it is dangerous to bump into other birds, so there is no urgency." ”

"You don't know, the eggs that the mother hatched are about to break." Jiu'er said, "My mother didn't dare to leave for a moment these days, so she asked me to guard halfway up the mountain, and then I met you." ”

Ying Zheng said: "Then let's go back quickly." ”

Dapeng had also woken up at this time, shook the messy feathers on his body, and rose into the air, in order to save Jiu'er some effort, he simply put Jiu'er and Yingzheng on his back, and went straight to the ice and snow region.

On the back of Dapeng, it is not as stable as traveling with Jiu'er, Dapeng's giant wings flapped very much, and the airflow attracted by it was also very strong, and as soon as he accelerated for a while, Yingzheng felt dizzy.

However, the speed is really fast, and at full speed, Dapeng is more than twice as fast as Jiu'er.

Ying Zheng grabbed the feather on Dapeng's back and didn't dare to let go for a moment, Jiu'er stretched out half of his wings to cover him to shield him from the cold.

Ying Zheng felt better, but he could only express his gratitude with his eyes, because with a mouth, the wind was desperately pouring into his stomach.

After a while, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, only to hear Dapeng say: "It's almost there, you can go back directly, I won't go down, so as not to disturb Lord Binghuang to hatch eggs." ”

"Then thank you Uncle Dapeng." Jiu'er smiled, "When my sister hatches, I'll take it to your place to play." ”

"Okay, let's go." Dapeng Road.

Ying Zheng also said hello to it, jumped on Jiu'er's back, and left Dapeng with one person and one bird, and flew down into the ice and snow region.

Before it landed on the ground, the Ice Phoenix Patriarch was staring intently at the phoenix egg, as if he was expecting something.

"Mother, I'm back." Jiu'er landed gently on its side.

"Don't talk, listen." Ice Phoenix Patriarch said.

Jiu'er quickly closed her mouth, and Yingzheng even held her breath.

I only heard the rhythmic sound of percussion coming from the phoenix egg.

Boom...... Boom...... Boom......

It was clear that the little guy inside was tapping the inner shell of the phoenix egg with his beak.

This scene is familiar, and Yingzheng seems to have returned to the moment when he was looking forward to the little year beast breaking out of its shell.

I don't know if the little guy inside was tired or something, but after a few more knocks, the sound stopped.

Jiu'er lowered her voice as much as possible beside her and said, "Mother, why did it stop, do you want me to help it?" ”

The Ice Phoenix Patriarch shook his head: "Don't be naughty, we must let it break its own shackles, otherwise it will affect its will in the future." When you break the shell, you also have to work hard to break out of the shell. ”

Jiu'er grinned and said, "I didn't say to help it break this eggshell, but I wanted to hatch it again." ”

"I'll do it, you're not quite good yet, it looks like you'll have to add heat to it." With that, it hatched on the egg again.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ying Zheng talked about the process of retrieving the earth system Nirvana Pearl.

The Ice Phoenix Patriarch sighed and said, "The Golden Crow is indeed righteous, it went to Shaoyang alone for the sake of the entire Nine Shadows, all the beast clans should be grateful for this affection, and its encounter with the Vermilion Bird is really regrettable." ”

"It's just that Suzaku doesn't seem to care about it and never mentions it in front of others. Now it will show you the past and the discernment, which shows its value and trust in you, if you can really solve the problem, then help it, let it wait a few days. ”

"After all, the situation of more than 10,000 years is really too painful."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Even if my predecessors don't tell me, I will definitely go all out to make Jiuyou and Jiuxiao stable again, so that all beings can regain peace of mind." ”

Although the current natural source power is quite stable, it has not been completely repaired after all, and it is better to keep it intact in order to make the human race and the beast race truly feel at ease.

"In that case, I'm going to help you." After that, the Ice Phoenix Patriarch also raised his head and closed his abdomen, spitting out a nirvana bead with a light blue smoothness.

I saw that this bead was also moist and smooth, and there seemed to be a light blue water vapor lingering in it, and a touch of red was faintly visible in the middle position.

"Presumably, this is the source blood of Fuxi Ancestor and Nuwa Niangniang?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Exactly." The Ice Phoenix Patriarch said, "You put it away, don't break it." ”

Ying Zheng carefully put the Nirvana beads into the cloth bag and asked, "Senior, how do you take out the source blood?" ”

The Ice Phoenix Patriarch replied, "Didn't I say before, once the source blood is taken out, its essence will also be lost, so you can use it like this." ”

Ying Zheng sighed: "It's just a pity for this Nirvana Pearl." ”

If you use it as a whole, you will definitely consume even this bead.

"For the sake of the common affairs of the two races, what is it to contribute a Nirvana Pearl."

Yun Zheng put away the two nirvana beads of the earth system and the water system, put them in his arms, and then said: "This trip has been completed, I should also go back, but I still want to witness the birth of this Xiaoice Phoenix, and I hope that Lao Jiu'er will inform Twenty-Seven and let it wait a little longer." ”

Jiu'er looked at her mother with some reluctance, after all, she also wanted to witness this moment.

The Ice Phoenix Patriarch said: "The candle nine shades have been waiting for a day and a night, presumably they will be in a hurry, if you can't find it, it's not good, Jiu'er, you go to find the candle nine shades, let it wait a little longer." ”

Jiu'er spread her wings a little reluctantly and flew to find the candle Jiuyou.

Speaking of Candle Jiuyou, Ying Zheng suddenly remembered something and said: "Senior, last time I came to Jiuyou, I promised Candle Jiuyou one thing, this matter also has something to do with the Feng clan, I want to discuss it with you." ”

"Oh? Something to do with my Feng clan? ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said: "The last time I came to Jiuyou, it wasn't Twenty-Seven who brought me, it was another candle Jiuyou, I gave it some benefits before I came, but when I wanted to return, it asked for benefits, saying that the previous one was only one-way, and I ate the basalt fruit, and I had to compensate for it." ”

"Hehe, this kind of thing, only the sixteenth of their family can do it." Ice Phoenix Patriarch said.

"It was called Sixteen...... It hasn't been seen since. Ying Zheng continued, "At that time, Shizun and I were empty-handed, and there was nothing around us that could give it, so I promised it one thing. ”

"It said that it hoped to improve the status of the snake clan in the hearts of the people, so I proposed that the snake clan be included in the nine kinds of animals that represent the nine heavens, and then I heard from the master that these nine animals were originally the nine levels representing the nine tripods, namely rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, horses, sheep, monkeys, dogs, and pigs."

"Plus the snake clan, that's ten, which just corresponds to the earthly branch. But the candle nine shades disagreed, it said that the egg race has three realms, which are the main water of the dragon clan, the main sky of the phoenix clan, and the main land of the Xuanwu clan. ”

"If you add it, you have to add it to the Lord of the Three Realms. Just add it to the snake clan, I'm afraid that the dragon clan and the phoenix clan will not agree if they know about it. ”

"So I promised it that if I added it, I would join the dragon, phoenix, and snake tribes, and change the 'animal Xiao' to the 'zodiac' without the word ox to show respect." The reason why he mentioned this matter was that Ying Zheng felt that he had just received two precious Nirvana beads, as well as the Fuxi source blood that had been preserved for nearly 10,000 years, and it was also a lot of favor from the Feng clan, not to mention that if he wanted to rescue Jin Wu in the future, the help of other Feng clans was indispensable.

What's more, at that time, it was only a promise to Candle Jiuyou, or the Snake Clan, but whether the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan would agree to it was another matter. If the Dragon Clan or the Feng Clan disagree, then Yingzheng can't decide privately.

The Ice Phoenix Patriarch thought for a while and said, "Although this matter is a good thing, it can make the people remember our three clans, but it will also expose many secrets that cannot be known to the people. ”

"Besides, the phoenix system includes the five clans, if the phoenix is only included in it, I am afraid that other clans will also have objections."

According to the indifferent character of the Ice Phoenix clan, of course they don't care about this, but the Ice Phoenix is thinking about Yingzheng or the human race, because I don't know if groups like Qingluan, Vermilion Bird, and Jinwu think like this.

You have to think about what you do.

Ying Zheng asked: "Then according to the seniors, what should be done?" ”

"It's better than that." Binghuang said, "Our phoenix clan is the head of the birds, so choose one of the birds to represent us, as for the name, it is not so important, in this way, the affairs of the Three Realms can be hidden." ”

"Pick a bird instead?" Ying Zheng asked, "Which bird to choose?" ”

The Ice Phoenix Patriarch pondered for a moment and said, "Just choose the most ordinary pheasant. Well, in this case, no one will contact our Feng clan. ”

The five phoenix clans are the head of the birds, and there are also sacred birds such as Dapeng, peacocks, and cranes below them.

And the pheasant ...... But it is not as good as a flying bird.

Ying Zheng hesitated: "The seniors really want to decide like this? In the future, after I unify the nine heavens, I will probably let the people use these twelve zodiac signs as attributes. ”

Binghuang nodded and said, "That's it." ”

"Since the seniors wish so, then I'll change it." Ying Zheng said, "It's just that the order and seat are still undecided." ”

But at this moment, he saw Binghuang's brows moved, and he quickly stood up and looked down at the phoenix egg.

I heard a slight crash from there, and this time, it was clearly more powerful than before.

At this time, Jiu'er also flapped her wings and flew back.

"I've found Candle Jiuyu." It said to Ying Zheng, "That guy is really complaining, and he will be honest after seeing me." ”

"We'll talk about that later." Ying Zheng interrupted it, "Your sister is about to be born." ”

When Jiu'er heard this, she hurried over.

The sound of the pounding inside the egg began to thicken, and the little creature seemed to use not only its beak, but also its wings and claws.

Click......

The egg cracked open a fine slit.

Click, click......

Along that gap, more cracks began to spread. Cracks appeared in different parts of the egg.

Boom!

The little guy in there hit it hard, and finally broke through the eggshell, revealing two small eyes, looking at this new world with novelty.

"Little Ten, it's out!" Jiu'er cheered.

Then the little guy made the top of the hole a little bigger, and then crawled out.

The form is an ice phoenix, but it does not have a long crown and feathers, and there is only a thin layer of fluff on its body, which makes its body very thin.

The Ice Phoenix Patriarch finally let out a long breath, looked at Ying Zheng and said with a smile: "You are lucky, you can witness the birth of the Ice Phoenix, and you will have good luck in the future." ”

Ying Zheng responded with a smile: "Congratulations to the seniors for winning a daughter." ”

"By the way, you just said the order of the zodiac?" Binghuang said, "Since Xiao Shi was born according to your words, then the ranking of pheasants in the zodiac is tenth." ”
