Yin Jiao trapped the two demons, let them scold, and the group walked back along the road. After walking not far, everyone suddenly saw a huge pattern carved on the stone wall inside the royal tomb, and there was an unknown spirit beast in the pattern, with a crown on its head and nine tail feathers.

Yin Jiao asked Taishi: "Does Taishi know what this is, and why did it appear in the royal tomb?"

Wen Taishi took a closer look and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this divine beast is called Xuanniao, and it is the legendary phoenix. Youyun: The Heavenly Mandate Xuanniao, descended and gave birth to Shang", which means that Shang was born because of the Xuanniao of the Mandate of Heaven, and the ancestors of Yin Shang have a great relationship with this Xuanniao. Lao Chen remembered very well that when the kings of all dynasties ascended the throne, they had to worship the Xuanniao, and it can be said that this Xuanniao is the totem of Shang Tang. ”

Yin Jiao also heard of these origins for the first time, and he faintly felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable power calling him in this royal tomb, and he was very kind, so he followed his feelings all the way to the center of the royal tomb.

When they arrived at the center of the royal tomb, everyone saw that there was a dome on their heads, and there was only a huge Xuanyao totem on the ground, with a radius of about ten zhang. Yin Jiao leaned down and stretched out his hand to stick to the ground, faintly feeling that there was a mysterious power underground, so he asked the mausoleum keeper: "What is the place below this royal tomb?" The mausoleum keeper said: "Back to Your Highness, there is another underground palace under the royal tomb." However, Weichen has never gone down, and only the sons of heaven can enter. ”

Wen Taishi remembered something, and also said: "Your Highness, the old minister remembered that he once accompanied the former king to this place, but the old minister couldn't enter, just waited outside, and didn't know what was inside. ”

This remark aroused Yin Jiao's great interest and asked, "How to go down?"

The mausoleum keeper hesitated a little, and said, "This ...... Your Highness, the king has an order, and you will only be allowed to enter when the crown prince ascends the throne as king. ”

Yin Jiao was eager to know the secrets in the underground palace, grabbed the mausoleum guard, and said angrily: "Now that the world of big merchants is in danger, what are you still following the rules?"

The mausoleum keeper was frightened by this, and immediately nodded: "Yes, yes." Your Highness, please take a look. As he spoke, he pointed to a small Xuanniao totem in the center of the totem, the size of a palm. The mausoleum keeper continued: "This mechanism can only be opened by the Chengtang royal family, and His Royal Highness needs to use his own blood to drip into this totem, and the mechanism will naturally be opened." ”

Yin Jiao listened as he pulled out the sword of the armor behind him and slashed it towards his palm, and blood dripped down. The Xuanniao totem absorbed Yin Jiao's blood, and it turned on its own. When he was young, the center of the royal tomb shook for a while, and the floor split in two and began to move to both sides. Master Wen escorted everyone to one side, and Yin Jiao and the tomb guard stood on the other side. When the floor is completely separated, a secret passage is revealed.

'Sure enough, there is a Qiankun ......' Yin Jiao looked down, and the secret passage was very deep.

Wen Taishi knew that this was the secret of the Yin Shang clan, and it was inconvenient for him to know it as a courtier, so he said to Yin Jiao: "Your Highness, the old minister and a group of people will stay here, please let Your Highness in." Naturally, the mausoleum keeper also stayed outside and waited.

Yin Jiao took a torch from the hand of the mausoleum keeper and walked down the secret passage. This secret passage should have been pitch black, but the light at the end of the tunnel from nowhere allowed Yin Jiao to see the road clearly. Yin Jiao carefully groped all the way, feeling that the mysterious power was getting stronger and stronger. At the end of the secret passage, the space suddenly opened up! A bright Yin Jiao couldn't open his eyes.

After a while, Yin Jiao fixed his eyes and saw that there was a shining golden palace in front of him, the surrounding walls were made of pure gold, and in the middle stood a huge Xuanjing with a height of five zhang and a width of three zhang, which was emitting dazzling light. The light is reflected by the gold, so it shines even more brightly.

"What is this??" Yin Jiao walked up and looked at this piece of Xuanjing carefully, and there was a big bird three feet tall frozen inside. This big bird has a swallow-jawed chicken beak, a snake-necked fish tail, a stork and a mandarin gills, and a dragon-patterned turtle back. It is almost exactly the same as the totem outside, but it is completely black, exuding an inexplicable power. This kind of power Yin Jiao suddenly felt very close, different from the immortal power of immortals, nor is it the emperor's qi in the world, it is a power born from the Hongmeng universe.

'Could it be that this is the Xuanniao of my Great Shang Dynasty legends?, how could it be sealed in this Xuanjing?' Yin Jiao guessed in his heart, and then looked at the Xuanniao in the Xuanjing, his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep. Yin Jiao stretched out his hand to touch the Xuanjing, and in an instant, a piercing coldness passed through his body.

"It's cold. Yin Jiao found that this Xuanjing emitted an incomparably cold aura, which made people dare not touch it.

Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness: "You're finally here." ”

Yin Jiao looked around at no one, and couldn't help but say to himself, "Who is talking to me?"

The voice sounded again: "I am the Xuanniao in front of you, the phoenix, and it is my divine sense that is talking to you." ”

"You?" Yin Jiao looked at Xuanjing in front of him, and said half-believingly: "You...... Are you really the legendary phoenix? Listen to your tone, you seem to be waiting for me?"

A burst of laughter came from the phoenix in the crystal: "That's right, I've been waiting for you, my child." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yin Jiao heard that it was like being struck by lightning, and his face changed and he shouted: "I am Yin Jiao, the prince of the Great Shang, how can I be your child?"

Phoenix said quietly: "Don't worry, listen to me." Twenty-one years ago, King Jiang and King Jiang came to this palace to worship me, and I found out that Queen Jiang was pregnant, so I injected a drop of essence blood into her body, and the essence blood was integrated into the fetus and became one. In other words, you have my essence and blood in your body, of course it is my child! Do you have an inexplicable power released from your body every time you are at a moment of life and death?"

Yin Jiao couldn't believe it for a while, his eyes widened, and he clenched his fists and shouted, "You...... How do you know?"

The voice of the phoenix became majestic, and the entire underground palace instantly turned into a vast galaxy. Yin Jiao was surprised, and looked around, as if he was in Hongmeng.

I only heard the phoenix say majestically: "Do you know who I am? In the past, when the chaos was not opened, there was already my phoenix in the Hongmeng universe." I was born with two divine powers, 'Broken Phoenix' and 'Nirvana', so I am immortal and immortal, and I can keep pace with those saints in Hongmeng. And those saints also have to go through thousands of eons to live with heaven and earth, and my divine power naturally makes those saints very greedy, so they oppose me everywhere. About 400,000 years ago, I once used the power of the phoenix in vain to almost cause the destruction of heaven and earth, and was trapped by the leader of the fairy world, Hongjun Daoren, with this 10,000-year-old Xuanjing, and he took my Nanming away from the fire; without Nanming from the fire, my golden feathers turned into a pitch black, and my nirvana power could not be used, so this trap is 400,000 years...... And you have my essence and blood in you, so naturally you have inherited the power of my 'Broken Phoenix'. ”

It turned out that 400,000 years ago, the phoenix was trapped by the immortal ancestor Hongjun with a 10,000-year-old Xuanjing, and it was suppressed in today's land of songs. After the stars shifted, the vicissitudes of the sea, until about a thousand years ago, the ancestor of the merchant Emperor Yu accidentally discovered the phoenix that was suppressed here, because he did not know this ancient creature, he was called Xuanniao, Xuan is black. Later, Chengtang established the country, established a great business, built an underground palace in this place, and worshiped Xuanniao. Since then, the Great Shang Dynasty has only revered Xuanniao as a god. It's no wonder that after King Su ascended the throne, he didn't know where the Nuwa Temple was, and he didn't even know that Nuwa Niangniang, the ancient god.

Yin Jiao remembered that when he escaped death under Guang Chengzi, his body naturally burst out with a terrifying power at that time, which turned out to be the power of this broken phoenix. He immediately believed most of Phoenix's words.

Phoenix said: "The power of the broken phoenix is the power of chaos and destruction, it will awaken with your despair and anger, the deeper your despair and anger, the greater the power of the broken phoenix, until the world is destroyed!"

Yin Jiao only knew today that his Chengtang lineage had such a relationship with this phoenix, and he was confused for a while, and asked again: "...... What are you trying to bring me here?"

The phoenix roared like a tsunami in the mountains: "I have been trapped for 400,000 years, 400,000 years! I must get out! I want to regain my freedom! You are my child, you must help me find Nanming Lihuo! With it, I can break this 10,000-year-old Xuanjing!"

"Nanming is away from the fire?" Yin Jiao asked, "I've never heard of this thing, where should I find it?"

"Nanming Lihuo is an unquenchable fire born from the Hongmeng universe, which is one with me, and it was taken away by Hongjun Ancestor back then, and it must have been placed in Kunlun Mountain. There is the spiritual vein of the fairy world. ”

As soon as he heard the three words of Kunlun Mountain, Yin Jiao couldn't help but shake his head, "Kunlun Mountain is the dojo of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, the sect leader of the Sect of Exposition, and the Yuan Shi Tianzun is a saint who penetrates the heavens and the earth, how can I do it alone? Isn't it death?"

"What are you afraid of! Now that the gods are about to be sealed, the three major sect masters are bound to fight in the lower realm, and the opportunity is naturally there, you don't have to be afraid of anyone if you have my power to break the phoenix! Go, my child, don't let me down! When I get out of trouble, I will help you turn all the enemies of the big merchants into powder, and then you will still be the king of this big business!

After saying this, the phoenix's divine consciousness stopped speaking, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep again.

Yin Jiao only learned at this moment that he was originally a hybrid of a phoenix and a mortal, but at this time, he fell into an extremely confused state:

Who the hell am I?

I am the crown prince of the Great Shang, a mortal?

Or the son of the phoenix?

The chaotic and true identity made Yin Jiao at a loss for a while......

When Yin Jiao returned to the royal tomb through the secret passage, Wen Taishi noticed that Yin Jiao's expression was gloomy, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened to Your Highness in the underground palace, why are you so depressed?"

Yin Jiao glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "What happened is indescribable, there are many people here, and I will tell the ins and outs of the master when I return home." With that, the entrance to the dungeon slowly closed and returned to its original state.

When he returned to the prince's mansion, Yin Jiao informed Wen Taishi about the phoenix, but he did not say that he was related to the phoenix, after all, he himself had not fully accepted this fact. Although he was very disgusted with the feeling of being manipulated, Yin Jiao still asked Wen Taishi about Nanming Lihuo's whereabouts.

Wen Taishi was taken aback at first, then pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Your Highness's words are shocking! I think it's the old minister who is lonely and unheard. ”

Yin Jiao muttered to himself: "This matter is urgent, the gods have already begun, presumably the three major sect masters will also be in the lower realm in the future, and sooner or later they will encounter opportunities." There's one more thing that has been bothering me for a long time......" he said, pushing open the window and looking at the Nuwa Temple outside Chaoge City in the distance, where everything started, Yin Jiao knew that he had to go this way.
