He Huan tightened his cloak and took a breath of hot air, and when he met the cold air, it turned into a white mist, like smoke and mist. It's already cold winter in September! I lowered my head and stepped on the wooden steps and slowly walked into the room.

The stove was still burning vigorously, and it was evident that the intimate maid had carefully added charcoal to the house, even though he was not in the house.

Hehuan put his hands close to the stove, and immediately his palms touched a warm current. In the past, grandpa also held his hand in the palm of his old man's hand like this, took a breath, rubbed it a few times, and felt that the cold winter was no longer so difficult.

Thinking of things and people now, Hehuan feels sad from his heart.

Who was it that had done such a vicious act to the simple and kind villagers, and what did he want? Although many days had passed, the fire and screams of the day still lingered in Hehuan's mind, and she was also grieved. Probably, if this matter is not clarified for a day, Hehuan will not be able to be at peace!

"Squeak~" The door was gently pushed open by the maid. Hehuan broke free from his complicated feelings. I only heard the maid bow her head slightly and said, "Girl, the pavilion master is invited." ”

"Good. Hehuan got up, went out of the room with the maid, and walked to the white marble avenue with carved railings and jade.

All the way, Hehuan noticed that the patterns of phoenixes dancing were everywhere, and each form was different, and each phoenix appeared to be lifelike, on the pillars, on the white marble avenue, and everywhere on the walls, making people feel that they were telling an ancient story.

He Huan couldn't help asking, "Sister, do you know why there are so many phoenix patterns here?"

The maid smiled slightly: "The slave maid has been in the Vermilion Bird Pavilion since childhood, and the slave maid is not clear when it existed. I only know that this is not a phoenix, but an ancient divine beast Vermilion Bird, and its form is very close to that of a phoenix, so it is not surprising that the girl sees it as a phoenix. ”

I see, no wonder it's called Suzaku Pavilion, and it really lives up to its name.

"Girl, the Pure Heart Hall has arrived. The Pavilion Master must already be waiting here. ”

Hehuan nodded and thanked him, and the maid bent down and withdrew.

When Hehuan stepped into the hall, he did not have the expected golden brilliance, but a little more antique charm.

On the six top pillars are golden nansi wrapped around the red nanmu, outlining the scene of the vermilion bird circling upward. Surrounded by translucent crystals, which act as lighting fixtures, refracting sunlight into the house, the light appears to be scattered. Looking up at the top of the hall, there is a bouquet of flowers clustered by the night pearls of the South China Sea, and the carvings of the surrounding danqing flowers are splashed with a layer of red glaze, which looks solemn and elegant.

And the entire back wall in the middle of the main hall depicts a celestial maiden driving the Vermilion Bird and fighting to the death with a group of demon people.

Although the mural is old, it is still as bright as ever, and you can even see the heroic posture between the eyebrows of the goddess. And the Lord of Ruoshuang Pavilion was dressed in white and looked at the mural with his back to Hehuan, thinking that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Coming?" Ruoshuang heard the footsteps, sighed slightly, and turned to look at Hehuan, her eyes were full of pity and distress! Hehuan was stunned, as if he had seen such eyes somewhere.

Ruoshuang asked softly, "Have you ever seen this mural?"

He Huan had never seen this mural, so he replied truthfully: "It is somewhat similar to the carving on the wall of Phoenix, but this painting is more vivid and expressive." ”

Ruoshuang nodded, and then asked, "Does the girl know the origin of this mural?"

He Huan shook his head: "I only know that the woman in the painting is the Heavenly Maiden Tianyi, and back then, he led the fairy world and the human world with the power of one person to prevent the demon world from subverting the Three Realms, and later generations called it the Great War of Gods and Demons, and I don't know anything about the rest." ”

Ruoshuang looked deeply into Hehuan's eyes and sighed: "Girl, are you interested in listening to the legends of the old decay?"

Hehuan nodded, then stopped talking, and quietly waited for Ruoshuang to open her memories and take her into that era of gunpowder.

"The girl didn't know that thousands of years ago, the Three Realms were originally a three-legged tripod, each performing its own duties.

Originally, it had lived peacefully for many years, but with the growing strength of the Demon Realm, it gradually expanded its ambitions, constantly stirring up disputes in the Two Realms of Humans and Immortals, causing the people of the Three Realms to suffer from misery.

The ancient goddess Tianyi thought about the suffering of the world, and did not hesitate to take out the ancient gods and destroy the stone, control the Vermilion Bird, and lead the two worlds of human immortals and the demon world to fight to the death. The battle lasted for three years, and everywhere you could see rivers of blood and wolf smoke......

In the end, the Demon King of the Demon World was killed by the head of the Tianyin Gate of the Immortal World with an arrow through the heart in this battle, and his wife Princess Youruo was also martyred, and since then the Demon World has fallen into a trough.

The fairy world reorganized the order and dominated the Three Realms, so that there is peace in the world today. And when the rain and dew blessed the earth, everyone was cheering, but the Celestial Maiden died due to excessive wear and tear, and the stone of birth and destruction was also broken into two pieces, and she didn't know where to go.

Suzaku also let out a long roar and went away with the Lord. Since then, there has been no more heavenly maiden, no more life and extinction stone, and no Vermilion Bird...... However, there is a legend that if someone can combine the life and death stones into one, the Celestial Maiden will be born again, and the Suzaku will fly with it, and he will be the lord of the world. ”

Speaking of this, Ruoshuang sighed and said, "The girl is not too old and long-winded, she has listened to it for so long. ”

After listening to this story, Hehuan couldn't help but sigh: "The Heavenly Maiden really has the world in her heart, and she can sing and cry." ”

Ruoshuang looked at Hehuan's face deeply for a long time, and said, "Can the girl consider living in the Vermilion Bird Pavilion for a long time?

The pleading was so strong that Hehuan almost thought it was a helpless plea.

Hehuan couldn't bear it at all, but he was concerned about the case of destroying the village, so he gritted his teeth and said: "The pavilion master has a good intention and Hehuan's heart, but he wishes to talk about wine with the pavilion master, okay?"

Ruoshuang seemed to have expected this answer, but she still couldn't hide the helplessness and sadness on her face, and sighed for a long time: "Since the girl has made up her mind, it is inconvenient for the old man to stay." It's just that you might as well stay for a few more days, so that the old man can prepare some business for the girl to go down the mountain. ”

Hehuan almost burst into tears when he heard this, almost thinking that it was his old friend who was reluctant to say goodbye to him. Although it is only a few days, I feel that I have known each other for 10,000 years. After a few stalks, Hehuan was deeply moved: "Thank you for the hospitality of the pavilion master, this kindness Hehuan must be remembered in my heart!"

Ruoshuang turned her back and did not speak. Hehuan was also silent for a long time, and respectfully withdrew from the hall.

Outside, the first snow filled the sky, and the petite figure of Hehuan gradually disappeared at the end of the whiteness, leaving only a series of footprints, and behind him, a desolation.

"You can't escape. This is fate...... "Ruoshuang finally slipped down a tear. How long have you been waiting? I'm afraid I can't count it......

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, covering the eyes of the world and freezing the tears of frost.

It's time for everything......
