Chapter 14: Phoenix Nirvana
Just as they were about to reach the kitchen, a crisp chirp stopped them, this kitchen is hidden at the foot of a remote mountain, few people and animals appear, Bai Feng has lived on the island since he was a child, and there are many rare beasts and arrows, but he has never heard such a crisp and pleasant sound just now.
"It seemed to be weak, it seemed to be dying. Shui Xiaoyun said with tears in her eyes. Penglai immortals love the common people and are born with the ability to perceive the hearts of animals.
"Let's go, let's see. Bai Feng looked at her sad appearance and gave up the fish soup with a heart, and pulled her to run in the direction where the sound came from, along the way, the flowers were extremely luxuriant, and the trees were exceptionally green, but what was disturbing was that there was not a single animal here, and there were no animals in such a high-quality place, how strange was this?
This road the two of them walked from the future, the more they walked, the more strange they felt, the surrounding trees became denser and denser, at first Bai Fengshang could remember the road, but time often couldn't touch the southeast and northwest, but they were not afraid, because it was impossible to be hurt on Penglai Island, they just wanted to find the mysterious animal that chirped quickly.
I don't know how long they gradually got tired, the beads of sweat the size of the bean slipped down Bai Feng's forehead, but Shui Xiaoyun was still calm and relaxed, not showing any tiredness, the night was gradually falling, and the chirping was getting weaker and weaker, if it weren't for the interference of animal noises nearby, it would be impossible to hear it, Bai Feng took out a fire talisman and read softly: "Open fire goes to darkness, brighten the road ahead of me, hurry." The fire talisman ignited in response to the sound, turning into a fireball and stopping above the two of them.
"Xiaoyun, it seems that we can't find it, let's go back quickly! Bai Feng pulled Shui Xiaoyun and walked forward, but Shui Xiaoyun suddenly stopped, pointed to a cave and shouted: "Brother Feng, look there, there is a fire there." With that, he shook off his hand and ran towards the cave.
"Xiaoyun. Bai Feng screamed, but he couldn't stop her, so he chased after her desperately.
In a blink of an eye, the two came to the entrance of the cave, standing at the entrance of the cave, there was a wave of heat like a wave, but it was not hot, not scorching, but incomparably warm, soft, that warmth poured directly into the hearts of the two, but when they saw a scene in the cave, the happy faces of the two people changed, this hole is about the same as other holes, or even much smaller than other holes, but there are things lying in the hole, which is unthinkable.
It was a creature that looked like a bird rather than a bird, its whole body was shrouded in fire, but there was a layer of seven-colored halo around it, and its graceful posture gave people a sense of elegance and nobility, and the colorful halo suspended above its head was even more brilliant and shining in the whole cave like a fairyland, and the ribbon-like tail tip was even more colorful, and the two of them were stunned and their hearts were beating faster.
"Is this the legendary phoenix? I thought it was just a legend! I didn't think it was. Bai Feng swallowed and foamed at the mouth. As for the legend of the phoenix, he knows the way, and the shape of the bird in front of him is exactly the same as the legend!
Shui Xiaoyun beside him was already stupid, and muttered: "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful!"
The phoenix nodded to the two of them amicably, the circle of light on his head gradually dimmed, the flames around his body became weaker and weaker, and the halo had long since disappeared, and suddenly the flames on its body expanded rapidly, Bai Feng subconsciously hugged Shui Xiaoyun into his arms and protected her with his body, but he was surprised to find that surrounded by the scorching flames, he didn't feel warm at all, and his body was not injured, but there was a warm feeling in his heart.
Just as he was puzzled, the phoenix's beautiful body slammed into ashes, and the flames around it dissipated, and everything returned to calm, leaving only a pile of ashes and a cold cavern.
Looking at everything in front of him, Shui Xiaoyun was full of pear blossoms, and sobbed in Bai Feng's arms: "It's dead, Brother Feng, it's dead." ”
The breeze blew, the ashes dissipated, and an egg as white as snow and as warm as jade appeared, Bai Feng's observation was amazing, and he immediately discovered this variable, patted her lightly and turned her head to the other side and said seriously: "No, it's not dead, what do you think it is?"
Shui Xiaoyun saw the egg at a glance, ran over excitedly, hugged the egg, and tears poured out like a flood of the Yellow River, unlike just now, the tears just now were sad tears, but this time the tears were happy tears.
"What a stupid girl, crying when she is sad and crying when she is happy. Bai Feng took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears.
The next day, when the morning sun first dewed, Bai Feng got up, and after freshening up, pushed the door out, Fang Xueyi, who was grinding medicinal herbs outside the door, was greatly surprised: "My God! Is the sun coming out of the west today? Why did our little lazy worm get up before the sun reached his buttocks?"
Bai Feng coughed lightly, and said seriously: "It is said that the stupid bird flies first, and my smart bird wants to see how the stupid bird flies first, so he got up!"
Fang Xueyi took a sweet fruit and threw it in his mouth and scolded with a smile: "Okay! ”
Bai Feng took it and took a bite and praised: "It's so sweet! ”
Fang Xueyi smiled while continuing to grind the medicine: "Huh, when did our family's ghost elves have a problem?"
"Well, smart rules, smart rules, I'm still young, and I still don't know much about some history!" Bai Feng wanted to know about the phoenix very much, so he had to show weakness.
Fang Xueyi was also in a very amused mood when she saw that he was showing weakness, and said, "If there is anything, just ask! ”
"I want to know some of the legends about the phoenix, I seem to remember that you once and now thought of him as a story with me. "He has a strong memory, and he has the ability to never forget, and he could see the phoenix at a glance in the cave yesterday because he remembered Fang Xueyi's description, but he still read it wrong.
"What should I do? I asked the phoenix! Okay! I'll tell you, legend has it that when Pangu split limbs transformed into the earth, its heart, liver, spleen, and lungs transformed into four divine beasts, they were, the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu, and the four beasts each occupied the four major directions of the southeast, south, west, and west, guarding the four directions!
After the three gods created the living beings, the green dragon of the wood is responsible for the flowers and trees, the white tiger of the gold is in charge of the beasts, the fire of the Vermilion Bird is responsible for the birds, and the Xuanwu of the water is responsible for the water tribe, among which the Vermilion Bird is the most special, first of all, she is a female, and secondly, she has the ability to reproduce offspring, speaking of her offspring is very legendary, that is the phoenix, the beauty is superior to all the birds and even the Vermilion Bird is not comparable to the Phoenix, although the phoenix does not have the four divine beasts** But it has the ability that even the four great divine beasts envy, and that is rebirth!
No matter how much trauma the phoenix can be reborn, so the phoenix is also known as the immortal bird, the phoenix will drop to the lowest level of life energy every 10,000 years, then she needs nirvana transformation, after each metamorphosis, the phoenix will turn into a phoenix egg, this is its weakest time, after the egg hatches, the phoenix's strength will be very weak, in the end at a certain moment it will go to the suzaku to retrieve her own strength.
Legend has it that Suzaku is extremely doting on the phoenix, and even gives it the ability of the king of birds, so the phoenix sees the birds wherever it goes, for it to drive. Fang Xueyi leisurely grinded the medicine while thinking about the story of the four divine beasts that Bai Mo told her, and when she said that her cheeks were flushed and slightly flushed, and her ears were hot, she looked particularly moving and beautiful.
"Why do you need Nirvana every 10,000 years?" Bai Feng asked.
"I don't know what to do. She shook her head and said secretly in her heart: "He didn't say that I know where to go!"
"That's it! He grabbed a handful of herbs and disappeared with a cigarette.
Fang Xueyi has long been used to it, and she doesn't bother to tell her, Penglai Immortal Island is harmonious everywhere, even if it is a beast in the world, she is like a puppy, so she has nothing to worry about.
