An inconspicuous dilapidated temple outside the city of Xi'an.

This place has been abandoned for a long time, and the large incense burner carved in stone in front of the door has lost one leg and is lying crookedly. The temple is full of holes, and the statues of the gods who used to enjoy incense and worship on the shrine have long been covered by cobwebs and dust, and it is impossible to see whether it is the mountain god or the land that is worshipped.

Even in such an environment, the eighth uncle swept the ground and swept it out, sorted out a relatively clean place, and lit a fire in the center of the house, which placed the phoenix girl in the house.

Outside, it was already dark, and the cold winds of the winter night brought a chill.

Phoenix sat by the fire, stretched out his hand to feel the warmth brought by the flames, looked up at the eighth uncle who had been busy with his head bowed on the side, and felt a kind of warmth in his heart.

At the time of his father's case in the capital, Phoenix was only three or four years old, still young, and lived with his mother in his father's courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.

Because her mother was just a maid before, she was a concubine girl, so she couldn't get her father's attention, so in Phoenix's memory, even if it was the New Year's holiday, she hadn't seen her father a few times in total, and her impression of him was very vague.

Since then, Uncle Eight has been responsible for taking care of the lives of their mother and daughter.

The eighth uncle is a loyal servant by his father's side, and he is the most trusted confidant around him, I heard that on the battlefield, he and his father had saved each other's lives, and his lame leg was also disabled in order to save his father, and they were really a lifelong friendship.

The father entrusted the phoenix mother and daughter to the eighth uncle, and he also took care of him very thoughtfully, especially the lively and cute little phoenix when he was a child.

But in the eyes of the phoenix, such a carefree day was broken in the early morning of one day.

That day, the eighth uncle came to the courtyard in despair, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly to his mother to report what happened outside, the young phoenix did not know much at the time, and after a long time she learned that her father was condemned by the emperor as a major crime of rebellion, not only was all the whole door killed, but he was also stripped of skin and grass, hanging for public display.

When my mother heard the news, she fainted several times from crying, and when she woke up, she was in a trance, insisting on going out to see her father, who was hanging in public.

The eighth uncle tried hard to persuade her, but unexpectedly, she secretly ran out at night and never came back. Later, I heard that after she saw her father's skin hanging from it, she couldn't stand the stimulation and actually committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.

The young phoenix didn't cry at that time, not even a single tear flowed, and in her young heart, she had no idea about the death of her parents that the eighth uncle said.

She just knew she would never see them again, but she didn't know what that meant.

Next, the eighth uncle left the capital alone with the little phoenix, who suddenly became an orphan without a father and mother, and embarked on a long road of escape.

Along the way, he experienced hardships, endured hunger and cold, and often had to face some people who didn't know who they were, swords and swords, and bloody battles, but the eighth uncle has always guarded the little phoenix and never retreated half a step.

Such days were until they came to the border of Yunnan and met Lan Pozi, the master of the Five Poisons Gate.

In the memory of Phoenix, this Lan Pozi, who is rumored to be like a ghost and a god outside, is famous for her discoloration, but she looks kind and kind, and even has an inexplicable sense of intimacy when she meets.

Later, she learned that there was a kind of blood kinship between Mrs. Lan and her father, although it was a kind of distant relative who had never been there before, and could not be beaten by eight poles. Because of this, Lan Pozi took them in.

From that time on, the days of fleeing from hiding in Tibet finally came to an end

, Phoenix and Eighth Uncle finally lived a stable life.

Suffering can often make people mature, and after these difficult escape careers, the phoenix understands what it is like to send people under the fence and see people's faces at a young age.

She hid herself, desperately pretending to be cute, pretending to be innocent, to cater to everyone around her.

Finally, because of her hard work and talent, Lan Pozi added her blue eyes to her and accepted her as a righteous daughter, and it was from here that she slowly came to this day step by step, and she became the new master of the Five Poisons Gate, Lan Pozi.

originally thought that she could finally have the strength to avenge her parents now, but after last night, when she faced a terrible enemy like Xuanyuan Gongzi, she suddenly felt powerless and helpless in her heart, just like when she was a child on the way to escape.

Thinking of Xuanyuan Gongzi, her arms and chest ached faintly.

His palm was so powerful that it seemed that he was not lightly injured, but I was afraid that it would take a long time to recover.

But before, he had obviously been poisoned by himself, and he could still hit such a powerful palm, as if the poison had no effect on him at all.

What a scary character!

If Butterfly Dance hadn't arrived in time, I was afraid that not only would I not be able to escape, but I would have died at his hands.

Thinking of that scene, Phoenix still felt palpitations in his heart until now.

But thinking of Butterfly Dance, speaking of which, she has been out for a long time, Phoenix can't help but feel a little worried in her heart.

Butterfly Dance is a friend she met when she was in the Five Poisons Gate, and maybe the only real friend. She is two years younger than herself, and the two grew up together, like sisters, and talk about everything.

But this time, she just said that she would go out to do something, and she didn't mention what it was, and Phoenix didn't want to ask.

Ever since the last time she returned from the capital, Phoenix had sensed that she had become a little weird, and often looked at the sky alone in a daze, and asked her what she was thinking, but she didn't want to say.

This ghost girl, isn't her heart moved?

Phoenix couldn't help but think half-jokingly, and a smile appeared on his face.

But soon, the smile faded.

She jerked her head up and stared in the direction of the temple gate.

The eighth uncle on the side also suddenly put down what he was busy with, and Huo Ran stood up and faced the door.

They sensed almost at the same time that someone was coming!

Who could be in the wilderness on this cold winter night?

The sky outside had completely darkened, and under the reflection of the firelight in the temple, a figure suddenly appeared from the temple gate, dressed in a black robe, but with a bronze mask with a blue face and fangs, shining brightly under the firelight.

Ten halls of Yama?

The figure walked slowly in, towards the fire.

Phoenix's hanging heart suddenly fell, from the posture and bearing of the person walking, she already knew who the person was coming.

This person is the most mysterious Wheel King among the Ten Hall Yamas who came to see her on behalf of the old master before!

Phoenix couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but she was still a little surprised by the appearance of this wheel king, and raised her eyebrows and asked, "It's you?"

The Wheel King bowed slightly, did not speak, and a pair of eyes under the mask stared directly at the phoenix.

His eyes were very strange, as if he wanted to see through how badly the phoenix was injured, and the sharp eyes gave the phoenix an illusion, as if he was standing naked in front of him without clothes.

This made Phoenix feel uncomfortable, and she cleared her throat and asked, "How do you know I'm here?"

The Wheel King sneered, his voice a little muffled behind the mask, sounding so unreal: "Since you have been injured,

If you want to hide your whereabouts, you must not be able to walk far, there are few people within a radius of ten miles, and this is the only most suitable place to stay. ”

The phoenix snorted, secretly wondering in his heart, how did this Wheel King know that he was injured?

After thinking about it, she said tentatively: "A little injury, it's not in the way, why bother driving your wheel king?"

"Minor injury?" the Wheel King snorted coldly, "No one else in the Ten Palaces of Yama would dare to take Gongzi's full palm, let alone you? If he hadn't been poisoned by you before, I'm afraid you would have died on the spot." ”

His words clearly meant that the phoenix's martial arts were the worst among the ten halls of Yama, although what he said may be the truth, but the phoenix still felt very uncomfortable, and snorted coldly.

But soon, it occurred to her mind that this Wheel King not only knew that he was injured, but even knew about the poisoning of Xuanyuan Gongzi!

How could he be so aware of what happened last night? Could it be that he wasn't there either?

Phoenix looked at the Wheel King with some suspicion, if he was really at the scene at the time, but never showed up to make a move, which side would he be on?

Among the ten halls of Yama, this Wheel King is the most mysterious, and even the current Xuanyuan Gongzi has admitted it, and even he doesn't know who the true identity of the Wheel King is.

This mysterious wheel king suddenly appeared at this time, is it a blessing or a curse?

The phoenix looked at the eyes behind the mask of the Wheel King, and suddenly asked, "What about the old man?"

The Wheel King was stunned, and seemed to be a little surprised by her question, but immediately replied lightly: "He is in a safe place now." What do you care about his whereabouts?"

Phoenix smiled a little self-deprecatingly and said, "I just feel very curious, everything was unfortunately said by that old man, Xuanyuan Gongzi actually wanted to kill me." Who the hell is he, and how can he really be like a god?"

The Wheel King laughed dryly, and looked at the phoenix with mockery in his eyes: "Of course he knows, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father ......."

He seemed to realize that he had slipped through, and slammed his mouth shut.

But this sentence was enough, and Phoenix's face changed drastically, and he said in a lost voice: "You mean, they are father and son? Could it be that the old man is the old master in your mouth? What the hell is going on?"

The Wheel King's eyes flickered, and a murderous intent suddenly appeared in it: "You already know too much, although it's just some skins, but these are all things you don't have to and can't know." ”

Looking at the murderous intent in the eyes of the Wheel King, Phoenix's heart couldn't help but feel a chill, but her mouth was not soft at all: "But now that I know, what are you going to do?"

The Wheel King sneered: "The reason why the old master reminded you was originally for the sake of your merit this time, wanting to save your life and let you know how to avoid Childe, but I didn't expect you to be so bold that you would dare to poison Childe!"

"You are the first person in this world who dares to do something to the people of the Xuanyuan family. Even characters like Lei Potian and Lin Suifeng don't dare to act rashly in front of Gongzi, you just don't know how thick the sky is!"

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly changed, and it became indescribably sinister: "Do you think the old master will let go of the person who poisoned his son?"

Phoenix's heart suddenly sank: "So, you originally came to kill me this time?"

The Wheel King smiled: "Originally, yes, now, everyone who knows this secret can't live!"

When he said this, his eyes glanced at the eighth uncle who was standing aside, intentionally or unintentionally.

Ever since he walked in, the eighth uncle has been standing by the side of the phoenix on guard, and now that he heard that he and the phoenix were talking more and more, he had already been in strict formation, and his hand was already on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and he was ready to fight!
