Chapter 45: Rebirth from the Fire
It was a place of ashes and lifelessness, but at this time, there was a red light, faintly flickering under the ashes, as if a fire was rising, giving birth to a new life.
Shen Qingjiu quietly squatted down, covered her mouth with one hand, held her breath, and tried not to make a sound, while her eyes were firmly fixed on the red glowing ash, not missing the slightest subtle change.
After a slight gust of wind blowing, the floating dust on the surface was blown away, and the things below were exposed, the red light, like a ruby, shone brightly, and undulated as if something was breathing, and after a while, there was a pair of wings that emitted red firelight, slowly stretched out, slowly changing and taking shape.
"Is it a firebird?"
Shen Qingjiu guessed in her heart, she didn't dare to say it, there was a feeling in her heart that at this time, the new thing was a very important and special thing, and at this time, the scene she saw would be something she would never forget in her life, which would touch and inspire her for the rest of her life.
When she was looking at the thing and slowly pulled out of the red light, she suddenly felt someone beside her, turned around, but saw Shao Siyu also half-squatting next to her, Shen Qingjiu opened her mouth in surprise.
Shao Siyu raised a finger to her lips and made a silent gesture at her, stopping what she was about to say, and then, pointing behind the high wall, motioning for her to focus on it.
Shen Qingjiu closed his mouth and followed the direction he was pointing, continuing to gaze behind the high wall.
Under the red light, that thing has already pulled out a pair of wings, it is a pair of huge wings, when it is extended, it is dozens of meters long, like the wings of an airplane, almost the entire forbidden land is shrouded in this pair of wings, when these wings are stretched out, this thing seems to be a little tired, stopped moving, and the wings fluctuated slightly.
Shen Qingjiu covered his mouth with both hands, didn't dare to make a sound, only glanced at Shao Siyu with a pair of eyes, Shao Siyu didn't make a sound, his gaze stayed on the top of that thing, but Shen Qingjiu could clearly see the light flashing in Shao Siyu's eyes.
"He must know what this thing is."
Shen Qingjiu thought silently in his heart.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, blowing away the floating clouds in the night sky, and the moonlight like jade sprinkled down, Shen Qingjiu looked up, and she found that tonight was the night of the full moon, and a bright moon like a jade plate hung high in the sky, and the cold moonlight was projected into the forbidden land, shining on the pair of wings.
The huge red wings, moved slightly, the red light flowed, as if there were thousands of flames, burning on this pair of wings, the next second, the thing moved again, the body also extended, the tail was laboriously pulled out of the red light, flicked out of thin air, like fireworks bursting out, and the tail was like a peacock's tail, and it was like the tail of a mythical phoenix, like a fan.
The red light and the dancing flames all make this new life reveal a mysterious color, and the image of this life seems to have been seen somewhere, and it is a surprising enough thing.
The moon in the night sky is constantly moving, and time is passing minute by minute, and the life born in the red light has stopped for a long time, so it's time to rest enough.
Shen Qingjiu beckoned to Shao Siyu, Shao Siyu stretched out a hand in front of him, Shen Qingjiu took Shao Siyu's hand with one hand, and wrote softly in the palm of his hand with the other hand: "What is that?" ”
Shao Siyu held Shen Qingjiu's hand with his backhand, and then, in his palm, wrote, "You will know." ”
At this time, Shen Qingjiu looked at Shao Siyu with some dissatisfaction, but Shao Siyu was ignorant and unconscious, and continued to look at the red light, waiting for the arrival of a new life.
Shen Qingjiu quietly grimaced at his silhouette, and then, still honestly squatting on the wall, continuing to observe this strange picture, she was also looking forward to the birth of this life.
When the jade-like moon above the night sky moved to the position of the middle sky, the moonlight reached its brightest, and the thing under the red light began to move again, and the head buried in the red light finally slowly lifted up from under the red light.
Shen Qingjiu didn't even dare to come out, staring at it with good eyes, she saw that thing, and raised her head, it was a person with a pointed mouth, a crown on her head, and her eyes were open, and those eyes were like burning flames, bursting out with dazzling light.
Then, this thing, raised its head, let out a long cry from its mouth, the sound was very penetrating, breaking through the air, straight into the night sky, as if it was summoning an ancient myth, its wings flapped, and in the next second, it had already risen into the air, raging fire, burning on the body of this giant bird, almost illuminating the entire night sky.
When this thing was fully displayed in front of him, Shen Qingjiu finally knew where he had seen this thing, and said in a lost voice: "Vermilion Bird, the four spirits of the sky, the five elements belong to fire, it is a symbol of summer, and the rumored divine bird really exists!" ”
Before the words fell, the burning big bird suddenly turned its head and fell on Shen Qingjiu's body, from his eyes on the side of the flame, Shen Qingjiu saw his own shadow, this big bird was too big for her, Shen Qingjiu stood up, not as big as his head, this big bird, only need to open its mouth, it can swallow Shen Qingjiu whole.
Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Shao Siyu stood aside and spoke first, saying, "You can't touch her, she is the heir of the Shen family, the heir of Shen Bo's handpick." ”
The flapping wings, making a "whirring" sound, the flame kept beating, however, this beating flame would only beat on the body of the giant bird, and would not fall to the ground, nor would it burn anything.
After listening to Shao Siyu's words, the giant bird made a "gurgling" sound similar to laughter in his throat, and spoke: "Shao Siyu, Shen You has been dead for thousands of years, how can he appoint a successor, you even told this kind of lie in order to protect her, so it seems that she is very important to you." ”
Shen Qingjiu could only hear the latter sentence, and she looked at Shao Siyu in surprise.
Shao Siyu stood there expressionlessly, his eyes fell on the giant bird in front of him from beginning to end, his calm gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and he said softly: "The heirs of the Shen family are all appointed by Shen Bo, and without Shen Bo's consent, they will not become the heirs of the Shen family." ”
Suzaku tilted his head, and the crown on his head shook with his movements, and then said, "Well, what if I want to move her?" ”
After saying the latter sentence, his eyes glanced at Shen Qingjiu intentionally or unintentionally.
Shen Qingjiu immediately felt that the crisis was coming, holding the black and white umbrella in both hands, making a posture of counterattack, and said loudly: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it, I'm not afraid of you!" ”
"Wine."
Shao Siyu raised a hand and pressed it on Shen Qingjiu's wrist, asking her to put her things down, and said, "He won't hurt you." ”
Such a big bird, just need to blow a breath, and there is no bone residue left to burn Shen Qingjiu, however, Shao Siyu is unusually calm and unhurried when facing him, it seems that he knows what this firebird will do, and he can completely master this firebird.
It seems that Shen Qingjiu has never seen Shao Siyu afraid of anything, and he will not have the slightest panic when facing anything.
Suzaku was very excited to fan a pair of big wings, tilted his head, let out bursts of high laughter, and then said: "Shao Siyu, three thousand years, why haven't you changed at all, Bai Ruyu follows you, she must be boring to death, why is she not there, oh, I forgot, this woman, as soon as it gets dark, she has to sleep...... Well? ”
After a deep groan, a person suddenly fell in the night sky, a black robe, floating in the wind, looking at his face, a handsome face, with a slight smile on the corners of his lips, his eyes fell on Shen Qingjiu's body, and said, "The heir of the Shen family, we meet again." ”
On the top of Lishan Mountain, the person I had seen before, the one who appeared inexplicably, and there was a rapidly disappearing ink snow.
Shen Qingjiu frowned and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Mo Xue raised an arm, under the moonlight, in the reflection of the firelight, Shen Qingjiu saw that he also had a bracelet on his wrist, but his bracelet was black, and at this time it was flickering with a strange light, and the flowing light flowed down from his wrist, converging into a line, flowing into Suzaku's body, wrapping his whole body.
Shen Qingjiu saw the line at a glance and said loudly: "He wants to catch the Vermilion Bird!" ”
Shao Siyu carried one hand on his back, looked at Mo Xue calmly, and said in a strange tone: "Mo Xue, I didn't expect that after three thousand years, you are still the same self-conscious. ”
Mo Xue shrugged her shoulders and said, "You can't help but be too confident in yourself." ”
As he spoke, his fingers gradually tightened, and the line began to tighten gradually, binding the wings of the Suzaku little by little, and the Suzaku actually looked down at the thread wrapped around his body, and then, along the line, looked in the direction of Mo Xue, and suddenly, his wings bloomed, like a blooming peony, and the flame burning on his body burned the line of Mo Xue in an instant.
Mo Xue was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly at Suzaku and said, "Just kidding, Suzaku don't be angry, see you next time!" ”
Before the words fell, Mo Xue raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of purple quicksand in front of him, and when the quicksand landed, he had already disappeared, it was really fast, it went faster, as if it was really a joke.
Shen Qingjiu blinked his eyes quickly, and asked inexplicably, "What is he doing here?" ”
Shao Siyu opened his mouth and replied: "Come and grab the Vermilion Bird." ”
Robbing Suzaku?
Shen Qingjiu re-focused her gaze on the giant bird in front of her, she didn't understand very well, what was she doing with this bird, could she grab it back to cook on the fire?
