"What is the fire of life?"

It was the first time Zhang Feiyang had heard this term, and he was full of curiosity and patiently asked.

Ever since he had successfully witnessed the Ice Box successfully preserving the severed hand so that it no longer showed signs of decay, he was more confident that he would be able to catch the severed hand, and naturally his attitude towards Moon Shadow was much more polite, and he was no longer as anxious as he was at the beginning.

Moon Shadow heard Zhang Feiyang ask, but as if she had seen some strange person, she looked at Zhang Feiyang in surprise, trying to identify the specific expression on his face, whether she really didn't know anything, or was she teasing herself.

It's a pity that Zhang Feiyang is always wearing a cloak, and his whole face is hidden in the shadows, and Moon Shadow can't see anything clearly after looking at it for a long time.

At this moment, as if she had mustered up her courage, Moon Shadow suddenly blushed, clenched her fists, stared at Zhang Feiyang without blinking, and made a private request.

"Can you show me your face?"

Zhang Feiyang was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect this boss to have such a special fetish, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and refused.

Because, even if he already believed in Moon Shadow's person, he didn't want to have too much entanglement with Moon Shadow.

After all, one is an immortal cultivator, and he can live for at least two hundred years during the Qi refining period, while Moon Shadow is only a mortal, at most a hundred years old.

He and Moon Shadow have long been two kinds of people, and they are destined not to have too much intersection, since this is the case, it is better not to be familiar with it.

At this point, Zhang Feiyang is still very calm.

So, he replied simply: "No." ”

The answer that doesn't explain the reason is that he wants to make Moon Shadow cut off the idea of being familiar with him, and he is just a guest of Moon Shadow, and that's it.

It's a pity that he doesn't understand the girl's mind.

By the time he had returned safely from the Ice Field, his image had been deeply imprinted in Moonshadow's heart, even though Moonshadow didn't know his name or seen his face.

Facing a person who has taken root in his heart, he is still a young man, Moon Shadow heard that Zhang Feiyang actually rejected him in one bite, and his attitude was very cold, so he was naturally unwilling to give up.

She lowered her head and muttered for a moment, gritted her silver teeth, and asked, "And what's your name?"

"I'm sorry. I'm not in the habit of revealing names. Zhang Feiyang resolutely rejected Moon Shadow again.

Moon Shadow frowned, and was dissatisfied, but after a while, she seemed to think of something, suddenly smiled coldly, swaggered back to the table and sat down, while drinking tea slowly, she took out a booklet, painted on it, and began to design all kinds of strangely shaped weapons, leaving Zhang Feiyang aside.

Zhang Feiyang followed and continued to ask about the fire of life, and Moon Shadow also prevaricated Zhang Feiyang on the grounds that he couldn't remember.

Zhang Feiyang was speechless.

Only then did he realize that he was probably inadvertently offended by this little boss, if he continued to consume like this, when Qu Wan and the others found here, he would regret it if he hadn't taken it off yet.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feiyang naturally didn't dare to continue to be tough, sighed, and reluctantly said his name.

Because, he can't do it for Moon Shadow, the girl who helps him.

After all, Lunaris hadn't hurt him.

If he harmed his female devil like Song Cuifu, Zhang Feiyang would naturally not be merciful and pity the jade.

"It turns out that your name is Zhang Feiyang. That's a nice name. Is it the meaning of the wind blowing and the clouds flying? ”

Moon Shadow had just drunk a pot of tea, and when she heard that Zhang Feiyang finally couldn't exhaust herself honestly and confessed her name, she almost squirted out with a sip of tea, and the excitement and satisfaction of winning were overflowing on her face.

She nodded, praised Zhang Feiyang a few words, and then put away the pride in her heart, and told Zhang Feiyang about the fire of life.

Because, it's true that she is a girl, but she is not the kind of arrogant girl who has no sense of proportion, and knows when to be tough and polite.

Now that Zhang Feiyang has taken a step back and told her her name, if she asks Zhang Feiyang to show her face again, it will be inch-inch.

Moon Shadow didn't seem to leave a bad impression on Zhang Feiyang.

She stood up, came to an ancient bookshelf, found a book from it, put it in Zhang Feiyang's hand, and explained in a crisp voice while pointing to the book: "The fire of life is a special energy. In the world of cultivating immortals, it seems to be called aura. But there are actually some differences from the aura that the immortal cultivators said. It's all well documented in this book. You can take a look. ”

Zhang Feiyang opened the book and began to flip through the pages of the book.

Half an hour later, when he closed the book completely, he finally had a clear understanding of the fire of life.

It turns out that this is a kind of aura that can only be channeled by consuming one's own lifespan. The source of aura used for cultivating immortals like him is the same, and it needs to be guided out through internal organs, muscles, bones, and blood, but the aura that is guided out is different. If the aura he channeled was a healthy aura, then the fire of life was an aura with impurities.

Because, mortals don't understand the correct way for immortal cultivators to guide aura, but some mortals also aspire to live as long as immortal cultivators one day, so after self-study, they came up with such a nondescript thing.

They found another way to forcibly force the aura out of the essence and blood through special methods to achieve the effect of filling the body with the aura.

Those impurities are the essence and blood that are mixed with the aura after the internal organs are ruptured.

These essence blood and aura fused together, after a long time, people suddenly found that as long as they were guided out of the body, they would burn, and once they burned, even gold and iron and Xuanbing stones could be easily melted, and this special flame began to gradually attract attention, and gradually appeared in various martial arts sects.

However, as it was used more often and in more numbers, the flame soon disappeared from the mortal world.

Because, to people's horror, this kind of flame is indeed powerful, but it will accelerate the aging and death of the user, and bring great physical harm to the user.

That's how the name Flame of Life came about.

That's all there is to the book, and there is no mention of who else knows how to use this kind of fire of life.

Zhang Feiyang closed the book, and naturally could only look at Moon Shadow, waiting for her explanation.

Really.

Moon Shadow was as he expected, triumphant, shaking his head and explaining.

"You go to the west side of the city. A hundred miles away, you will see a valley. In the deepest part of the valley, there was a small village, and the people living in it were all fiery red. They are the only remaining family in the Wu Kingdom that is still using the fire of life, the Fire Feather Clan. Go and bring someone from the Fire Feather Clan with you. In addition to burning iron vessels, the Fire of Life can also heal wounds and energize your severed arm. ”

Baicao Valley is a valley surrounded by mountains on both sides, with these two narrow passageways on the east and west sides.

It occupies a small area, but the valley has a special climate, warm in winter and cool in summer, which is most suitable for the growth of various rare herbs.

In order to continue to study the difference between the Fire of Life and the Monk's Aura, and to ensure that the damage to the body can be minimized when using the Fire of Life, the Fire Feather Clan chose to plant hundreds of precious herbs here and settle down.

This is where the name of the Valley of Herbs comes from.

But don't look at the owners of the Fire Feather Clan, all of them have red hair on their heads, they look enthusiastic and flamboyant, their personalities are actually quite gentle and kind.

Because, hundreds of years have passed since the year when we just migrated.

In the past hundreds of years, the mortal world outside has been fighting endlessly, countless ** ions have been scattered, families have been ruined, and they have lived in dire straits all year round.

The Huoyu clan, who have always settled in Baicao Valley, have taken advantage of their geographical advantages and the use of the fire of life to turn danger into disaster every time and successfully protect their homeland.

After a long time, the Fire Feather clan in the village naturally became less fond of fighting.

A leisurely and uneventful life gradually became the whole of their lives.

Zhang Feiyang was wearing a canopy, and when he came to Baicao Valley, as soon as he entered the village of the Fire Feather Clan, he felt as if he had entered a paradise and felt a kind of tranquility that he had never felt before.

The people here are kind and friendly, and they may be ugly in appearance, but there is no evil in their hearts.

Zhang Feiyang walked around the street a few times, and could clearly see the scene of ugly children playing with beautiful children, ugly women and handsome men shopping in pairs.

As for the square in the village, there is always an old man like a teacher, holding a book, explaining to the row of guests in front of him all kinds of knowledge about the use of the fire of life.

Here, Zhang Feiyang can't see anything gold and silver, nor can he see bullying the weak, only helping each other, a harmonious scene, as if everyone is a connected whole, not an individual fighting alone.

If there's one of the best places to settle down, I'm afraid this is it.

Thinking of the cruelty and danger of the outside world, Zhang Feiyang only walked inside for half an hour, and he had already given birth to the idea of wanting to stay here forever and never leave.

But he immediately regained his senses, paused, and casually found a young man around 15 years old and told him his intentions, hoping that the other party could help him go to Xicheng to lie down.

"No problem. When are you leaving? Are you in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, leave immediately. I'll just go home and clean up. If you're not in a hurry, come to my house for a meal and leave again. The man smiled and replied cheerfully.

Zhang Feiyang looked at his hospitable appearance, remembered Zhou Zhou Xian, and felt a little warm in his heart, bowed and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you." ”

"Haha. You're welcome. It's nothing. Helping others is the foundation of happiness. My name is Fire Feather. What's your name, and where do you come from?"

The boy named Huo Yu touched his head, revealing a row of white teeth, and smiled heartily at Zhang Feiyang, the sun shone on his face, making the boy look sunny and warm.

A gentle smile bloomed on Zhang Feiyang's face hidden under the cloak, and he was about to chat with him a few more words, and then, take him out of Baicao Valley as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a terrible scream could be heard from the entrance to the village in the distance.

"Ahh

A stream of blood spurted out of the man's chest like a splash, and rushed straight into the air seven or eight feet high, turning into a blooming blood flower, sprinkling down, and decorating the clean and tidy ground with spots.

At the same time, a dense black shadow suddenly poured in from the Baicao Valley outside the entrance, turning into young men and girls dressed as monks, sealing the front and back entrances of the Baicao Valley.

When the monks stopped, a familiar man walked out of the crowd, he was tall and thin, carrying a six-foot long sword, his face was gloomy, he swept the villagers of the Fire Feather Clan who had already been frightened outside the house, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the people of the Fire Feather Clan?"

This person turned out to be Qu Wan, who chased and killed Zhang Feiyang twice.
