Chapter 51 Suzaku Goddess
Feng Bai was quite puzzled, so he flew to the bottom of the center of the crater to see if there was any trace of the Suzaku Goddess there.
However, when you look down, there is no trace of anyone except a very large and beautifully furnished garden. In desperation, Feng Bai had no choice but to shout loudly: "Vermilion Bird Goddess, in Xia Feng Bai, I came to meet under the guidance of my predecessors, and invited the goddess to appear." ”
The sound echoed throughout the center of the crater for a long time, but there was no movement except for the echo.
Feng Bai thought that the Suzaku Goddess was not here, so she probably went out, or she was in some cave and couldn't hear her voice. So are there any caves here?
Feng Bai immediately got behind the water curtain of the waterfall, and flew around from the bottom to the top, trying to find the residence of the Vermilion Bird Goddess. Fengbai deduced that although there are countless rockeries, ponds, pavilions, and pavilions here, there is really no place for people to live.
Then the Suzaku Goddess must be living in the cave.
Seeing that I have gone around many times, I have risen to the top of the waterfall, and there is no cave, and if I go up again, I will reach the top of the crater.
When I was disappointed, a cave appeared in front of me, just on the top of the cliff that protruded above the waterfall, the entrance of the cave was about one person high, more than a zhang wide, and the top of the cave was written with the word Zhuji Cave. Fengbai was overjoyed in his heart, and then flew to the entrance of the cave.
The cave is a little dark, but it is very spacious, and it is mixed with all kinds of unknown exotic flowers and plants, all of which are purple and red, and very bright. Feng Bai concluded that this was the residence of the Suzaku Goddess, because only the Suzaku Priestess would be so keen on planting flowers and plants.
Walking into the cave, walking through the cave hall, there is a place where it is narrow, and there is light shining on the side of the main road, accompanied by the sound of falling springs. Walking along the light, it turned out to be a fork in the road, and after walking through the fork road, there was a small stream of spring water falling from above, moistening the surrounding grass and trees, and it looked extremely green and vibrant.
Feng Bai turned back and continued to walk towards the main road, which was darker and faintly fragrant. Fengbai and the master have been together day and night for more than a thousand years, and immediately smelled the fragrance that is only available to women, and expected that it was a woman's bedroom, so he did not rush forward.
Retreating to the cave hall, Feng Bai said in a loud voice: "Vermilion Bird Goddess, in Xianfeng Bai, there is something to ask for, please show up." ”
However, the sound echoed for a while, and it was still silent, and no one came out of it.
Could it be that the Suzaku Priestess is really out? Okay, and wait here. Feng Bai sat down on the stone bench in the cave hall.
After a cup of tea, I suddenly heard the sound of a giant bird flapping its wings outside the cave, and then there was a sound of footsteps, extremely light, which was the woman's pace.
Feng Bai hurriedly got up and was about to go out to greet him. Seeing the light and shadow move, a woman in red walked in, but when she saw the white wind, she couldn't help but be stunned.
The woman in red is only about twenty, with a short fit, moderate fat and thinness, a long neck, and a jade face like a flower. The strange thing is that there is no green silk on his head, and he is full of white hair, as bright as snow, and he is actually a crane-haired and childish person.
"Who are you, and how are you in my cave?" asked the woman in red, coming back to her senses.
"In Xiafeng Bai, from Zhongzhou, I came to find the Vermilion Bird Goddess under the guidance of my predecessors, and I asked for something, dare to ask the girl if she is the Vermilion Bird Goddess?"
When the woman in red heard the wind calling her girl, she suddenly smiled, and her green hair turned into snow, and it was rare for someone to call her girl, the word girl was really lost for a long time.
"I'm Suzaku, you are here from Zhongzhou, is there anything important?" said the woman in red in a soft and authentic voice.
"Uh, I'm here to find the Xuantian spirit stones scattered in the boundless sea of bitterness in ancient times, and the ancestors said that the spirit stones are in the hands of the goddess, so I was asked to come and ask for them. "The wind is straight to the point.
"Oh, the spirit stone is indeed in my hand, but I don't know what you want to do with it?"
Feng Bai was about to tell the truth of the matter, and finally said: "Goddess, the Xuantian Spirit Stone is a treasure, and whoever it is, I won't give it up, but seeing that Zhongzhou is about to be robbed, I ask the goddess to be able to have mercy on the sake of the people in Zhongzhou." ”
The Vermilion Bird Goddess looked at Feng Bai, but said: "Actually, the spirit stone is not owned by me, but it is a relentless thing, I just borrowed it to regain the whole day, if Qi has regained its vitality today, I will also return the spirit stone to the relent, it is better for you to go back to the sea of bitterness first, and I will come later, when I see the relent, confirm that this is true, I will naturally return the spirit stone to him, presumably he will naturally give it to you." ”
Feng Bai was stunned, no wonder he looked very confident and asked himself to come to the Vermilion Bird Goddess, it turned out that the spirit stone was his, but the Vermilion Bird Goddess didn't dare to give it easily, it seemed that he really had to go back to find the Suzaku Goddess.
Then he said: "Okay, then I'll go back to the sea of bitterness and wait for the goddess." ”
"Hmm. The Suzaku Priestess nodded.
"Wait. Feng Bai was about to say goodbye, but the Vermilion Bird Goddess suddenly stopped him, "I have heard that there is a Miluo fairy in Zhongzhou, who can stay young forever, do you know this person?"
"Well, Fairy Miluo is the family teacher. Feng Bai replied, but he didn't know why the Suzaku Priestess had such a question.
"Ah, it turned out to be the Venerable Teacher, can the Venerable Master really stay young forever?" said the Suzaku Priestess in surprise.
"Yes, at least for now, the tutor looks my age. ”
"That'...... What about her hair?" said the Suzaku Priestess and touched her head, obviously trying to wonder if she would turn from green silk to snow like her.
Feng Bai then smiled slightly: "The family teacher is fine, he is still a green silk." ”
"Ah, really!?" The Suzaku Goddess looked incredulous, amazed and regretful, and even had a trace of sadness, obviously regretful and worried about her white head.
"What kind of rejuvenation technique does that master use?" The Suzaku Goddess's eyes lit up, as if she had found a life-saving straw.
"This ...... The family teacher just doesn't eat grains, only drinks nectar and clear springs, and has no special rejuvenation technique. ”
When the Suzaku Goddess heard this, her brows furrowed, and the glimmer of hope that had just risen was suddenly shattered, and she became very depressed. She touched her head again, and sighed, her face covered with a cloud, as if she had suddenly aged several years.
Even when Feng Bai saluted her goodbye, she just looked at Feng Bai and didn't make any response.
Feng Bai left the Zhuji Cave and couldn't help but shake his head, her face is really a big thing for a woman. The Suzaku Goddess must also be very old, although her appearance is still young and beautiful, but she is full of gray hair, no wonder she cares so much about her hair.
Fengbai rushed back to the bitter sea and went straight to find the fox. As soon as he approached the island in the lake where he and the fox had stood, he saw a giant bird flying forward with its back to him, and it turned out to be Jair's Jinpeng, and the direction of its flight was the same as the direction in which Jairus had left before.
And the Jinpeng iron claws grabbed a person, who seemed to be a fierce man, but at this time he seemed to be in a coma, drooping his head, hanging his hands, and looking like he was being slaughtered.
On the back of Jin Peng, Jianxi stood impressively, he didn't expect Jianxi to turn around and look for Jianxi so quickly, this Jianxi's revenge was so strong that it greatly exceeded Fengbai's expectations, and he didn't even let go of his own brother.
If something happens, he can't get over it in his conscience, and if the Vermilion Bird Goddess can't see the fox, she won't give the spirit stone to herself.
At the thought of the heart, Feng Bai flew in pursuit, to see where Jairus wanted to take the fox, if the fox was not dead, he could wait for the opportunity to rescue him.
The golden peng was extremely fast, flying all the way, setting off gusts of wind, Feng Bai tried his best, but he couldn't keep up, only to see it gradually move away, and then turn into a black dot, and finally disappeared from Feng Bai's sight.
Feng Bai had no choice but to chase out in the general direction, and in about an hour, he had flown hundreds of miles and came to a market town. Feng Bai walked into the town on foot.
This town is medium-sized, and there are many merchants, who sell ivory rhino horn, pearl agate and other things. Feng Bai expected that Jianxi would fly through these downtown areas in Jinpeng, so he quickened his pace and passed through the town as quickly as possible.
As he was walking, he heard shouting from the street in front of him. When I got closer, I saw that three or five officers and soldiers were snatching a baby less than three months old from a young woman.
One of the officers and soldiers snatched the child and pushed the young woman with his hand, but the young woman was unsteady on her feet and fell to the ground. But she was so anxious to protect her son that she would get up and pounce on her to take back her child.
The rest of the officers and soldiers stopped her and told her to get out of the way. Where would the young woman let go? Desperately tugging at the clothes of the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers were enraged, and with a fierce push, they directly pushed the young woman to the sky.
The people around were talking in a whisper, although there was no shortage of righteous indignant people, but no one dared to fight against the government, so they could only dare to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Feng Bai couldn't stand it, helped the young woman up, and said to the officer and soldier who was holding the child: "Why do you want to snatch other people's children, you so many people bully a weak woman, you won't be ashamed?"
When the officer and soldier heard this, they carefully looked at Feng Bai, and said with a glare: "What kind of person are you, who dare to meddle with our affairs? If you delay the practice of our national teacher, I am afraid that the gods will not be able to save you." ”
Feng Bai was a little confused when he heard this, what does this snatching of children have to do with the practice of the national teacher? Who is the national teacher that this officer and soldier is talking about, and does he want to use the child to practice?
Then he said: "Who is your national teacher, and are you robbing other people's children to practice for the national teacher?"
"You're right, our national teacher uses the blood of babies and children to practice exercises, and our national teacher has a strong mana, I advise you not to meddle in things, otherwise there will be disasters from the sky, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
When Feng Bai heard this, he immediately felt incredible, what kind of method of practicing martial arts is this, and it actually uses the blood of infants and children? It seems that this national teacher must be a person in the Demon Dao, so he will practice this kind of evil martial arts.
At that moment, he said: "I don't need you to remind me, I am in charge of this matter, you return the child to others, and I will let you go, otherwise, I will teach you a lesson." ”
When the officer and soldier heard this, their eyes widened: "Yo, your child is really not afraid of death, okay, let you taste it first, brothers, give it to me, capture this kid, take it back and hand it over to the national teacher." ”
When the rest of the officers and soldiers heard this, they immediately moved together, pulled out the scimitar at their waists, and slashed at them.
Feng Bai raised his staff to refuse, and instantly knocked the scimitars of several people away, these people were all in pain, took two steps back, and looked at Feng Bai with a frightened look.
The officers and soldiers who seemed to be the leader with the child in their arms were also taken aback when they saw it, but they looked like they didn't believe in evil, and they also attacked Fengbai with a knife in one hand.
This time, Feng Bai was afraid of hurting the child, so he directly reached out and pinched his scimitar, withdrew his hand, and snatched his scimitar away.
The leader woke up like a dream, knowing that he had encountered a strong enemy today, and he didn't dare to do anything, so he just threw the baby in his hand and beckoned his men to leave.
Feng Bai immediately reached out and caught the child, the child was just messed with, and he was still crying at this time, so Feng Bai handed him over to the young woman. The young woman was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed to Fengbai, and thanked her again and again.
Feng Bai helped the young woman up, did not linger any longer, and quietly followed behind several officers and soldiers, to see where these officers and soldiers went, whether they went to report to the national teacher, and if so, he could just see who the national teacher was. The morality lies in the fact that if he can defeat this national teacher, he will teach this cruel national teacher a lesson, so that he will not continue to harm the people.
Out of the town, the three or five officers and soldiers rode their horses and galloped quickly, and Fengbai only followed from a distance, but they were not discovered. After traveling about seventy or eighty miles, he passed through some market towns on the way, and finally approached a city.
This city is not small, and there is a familiar flag at the gate of the city, embroidered with a wolf's head with teeth and claws, isn't this the national flag of the western country? It seems that this city is the capital of the western country. It turns out that this national teacher is the national teacher who came to the western country, and it is no wonder that he will tolerate his national teacher to practice in such a cruel way.
The officers and men walked in the street for a while, and finally dismounted in front of a rather imposing mansion and walked in. Feng Bai followed and looked, it was the National Teacher's Mansion, there were two guards in front of the door, and when they saw Feng Bai, they immediately spoke out and drove away.
Feng Bai didn't want to break in now, after all, he didn't know what kind of Taoism the national teacher inside was, and if he acted recklessly, he might incur unpredictable consequences, so he just waited for it to get dark, and then sneaked in quietly to find out.
It was night, and Feng Bai touched into the national teacher's mansion. The main hall was dark, and only the side rooms were lit. Feng Bai inspected the side room and found that it was all maids and maidservants and subordinates.
When I flew up to the roof, I found that there was another courtyard, and there was a light in one room, which must be the bedroom of the national teacher.
Feng Bai landed lightly in the courtyard of the other courtyard, touched the room, and then wet his fingers, poked through the window paper of the house and looked in. Seeing this, Feng Bai was suddenly stunned.
I saw a person with a dragon horn and a jackal sitting inside, but it wasn't who Jaira was? I didn't expect Jairus to be a national teacher who came to the West. What's even more incredible is that there is a round copper bowl in front of Jairus, although she can't see what it contains, but Jairus is closing her eyes and exercising, and a thin line of blood rises from the bowl and burrows into Jairus's nose. Obviously, it was the blood that was contained in the bowl, and it was the blood of a child.
Feng Bai only felt a tingling of his scalp, no wonder his eyes were scarlet when he fought with him in the sea of bitterness, it seemed that he had cultivated the evil skill with the blood of a child. Jairus has been able to deal with children who are less than three months old, which shows that he has really entered the magic barrier, and he has no basic humanity anymore.
Feng Bai squatted on the ground and calmed his mind, only suffering that he couldn't beat Jair, otherwise he would have rushed in and killed Jairus with a cane, lest he continue to harm the baby.
The cruelty of Jair's approach has exceeded the limit of Feng Bai's tolerance.
