On How the Phoenix Hanged on the Crooked Neck Tree

The human voice was getting closer and closer, and soon a bunch of blurred figures appeared in front of them, holding torches in their hands. When they arrived, they realized that it was a caravan of mortals.

The mainland is vast, and different fields produce different specialties, so there are often merchants who resell goods back and forth from many places.These people probably couldn't find a place to stay, and relying on the large number of people, they barely managed to spend a night in the wilderness.

Lu Yifan instructed the porters and vendors he led to set up camp, then he refused the soup offered by the boy servant, and looked at the fire in a daze.He is the only son of the owner of Tingfenglou, the largest restaurant in Mingjing City. Mingjing City is located at the foot of Xiuxian Dazong Fengyundu, so it benefits and is very prosperous.His Lu family can be regarded as the top ten richest people in the capital city of Ming Dynasty. It stands to reason that he should have grown up with fine clothes and good food since he was a child, but now he has asked for the hardship of leading a caravan.

A year ago, I ran into a young man in a restaurant. He fell in love with him at first sight because of his handsome appearance. After many inquiries, he found out that the young man was actually the disciple of Elder Feng Yundu.In order to follow in his footsteps, he is willing to give up his mortal status of wealth and honor, and seek immortality to ask questions, but his own aptitude is dull and he has no talent for cultivation.The moment of dream is gone.In a fit of rage, Lu Yifan simply left home with some funds and traveled all over the world, vowing to make his own career a success.

However, it is not easy to forget the feelings. Every night when the people are quiet, I will always think of the glimpse of that year.Sitting by the window, I smiled and looked at the wild cranes in the clouds outside the window. Unexpectedly, the figure of a young man in white came into my eyes. The man was standing on a small boat, with a careless smile, looking at the scenery along the river with his hands behind his back.As if feeling his probing gaze, she raised her head slightly, and those star-like eyes just hit his heart.

No one is paddling the small boat, it breaks through the water automatically, and sails along the waves.The man flew up into the air suddenly, and landed on the corner of the eaves opposite him like a leaf, which frightened him so much that he was afraid that he would fall.The breeze blew his hair onto his face, but the young man ignored it and raised his eyebrows: "Who are you? Why do you keep staring at me?"

He murmured: "You... are very good at immortality."

The young man chuckled lightly, and jumped from the eaves to his private room: "This is my light work."

Before he could say something, the boy had already opened the door and went out, and came to a private room that had been occupied all the year round.My father once said that it was the nobleman's room and he couldn't move it, but he never saw anyone using the private room, so the so-called nobleman was this young man.

Shaking his head, and erasing the picture he had recalled countless times from his mind, Lu Yifan stood up, ready to go outside to get some fresh air.

Just after turning a corner, suddenly a white figure appeared in front of him, Lu Yifan took out his sword and shouted: "Who are you?"

Qiao Yitong narrowed his eyes, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have a little impression of the person in front of him.Isn't this... the son of boss Lu of Tingfenglou Restaurant?

Lu Yifan saw that this person didn't speak for a long time, so he couldn't help frowning: "Why do you keep staring at me?"

As soon as the words came out, they suddenly overlapped with the impressions from many years ago, Lu Yifan was stunned for a while, and then showed a wry smile.

Qiao Yitong thought in his heart, since he came to Fengyundu, he has no experience of ordinary people's survival, why not travel with the caravan and learn from them, besides, Fengyundu must send many people to search for him now.Mixing with merchants is also good for concealing whereabouts, so he softened his voice and said: "There are a lot of young masters, the villain was originally a beggar, but today he was beaten up by the rich man when he was begging. I ran to this barren mountain, but got lost for a while..."

Qiao Yitong's acting skills are not bad, but the premise is that he is in a normal state.At this time, he had just undergone a great change, his mind was unstable, and his expression was in a trance. This beggar really didn't look like it.It's good not to say this, but when he said it, Lu Yifan became more suspicious and wanted to reprimand him.Suddenly seeing this suspicious person's Qinglingling eyes under the moonlight, it seemed that he had just cried, and the eyes were still flushed, very much like that person's eyes, and his heart softened all of a sudden.It is not easy for this boy to be alone in the wild, so it is better to take him in temporarily.

"Master, what is the origin of this person? It's very suspicious." A peddler came over and looked at Qiao Yitong warily, "What's your purpose?"

Before Qiao Yitong could speak, Lu Yifan said: "You...you come with me first." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and handed it to Qiao Yitong.

Qiao Yitong hesitated for a moment, and put his hand on it. He thought he had succeeded in pretending to be a naive, pitiful and helpless little beggar, but he didn't know that he was full of flaws in the eyes of others.

The others were still waiting to persuade them, but seeing Lu Yifan waving his hands at them with a resolute expression, he sat aside worriedly.

Beside the bonfire, Lu Yifan handed a mutton pancake to the boy, and then asked warmly, "Little brother, what's going on with your face?" He looked at the white cloth wrapped around Qiao Yitong's face.

Qiao Yitong took the biscuit hesitantly, but didn't eat it, but said: "I was injured a few days ago, and my face was broken. I'm afraid to scare people if I show it."

What he said was not completely lying, but others were even more suspicious.Lu Yifan made up his mind to trust him for the time being, so he added some pity: "We will never despise you...why don't you eat it, it doesn't suit your appetite?"

"Master, it's fine if he doesn't want to eat, why bother with him?" A middle-aged man with a full beard took a bite of the pancake and said squintingly.

Qiao Yitong has already reached the point where he doesn't need to eat mortal food to satisfy his hunger. He usually eats some ice cream just for fun, and it's not convenient to eat with a face towel today.But seeing everyone's reaction, he had no choice but to lift up the face towel and take a few mouthfuls of cake.

When going to bed, Lu Yifan saw that he had no place to sleep, and asked him if he wanted to come to his tent.Qiao Yitong was not used to sleeping with other people, so he just found an excuse to push him away.Lu Yifan asked someone to set up a small tent for him.Although Lu Yifan took care of him everywhere, Qiao Yitong didn't get entangled in these small favors, and just planned to repay their temporary shelter for him when he left.

Fengyun crossed the foot.

Cang Yu, a young man in black, and Bai Ling, a young man in ocher clothes, were guarding the foot of the mountain, waiting for Qiao Yitong to knock on the door, so as to rescue the soul of the Lord.Suddenly, there was a huge explosion sound from Fengyundu's body, and then a raging flame ignited, and the fire light illuminated half of the sky in Fengyundu.

"This is Fenghuo! What's wrong, my lord?" Bai Ling asked worriedly.

The two looked at each other, and when they were anxious, a translucent paper crane flew over and landed in Cang Yu's palm.Cang Yu put her ear close to the paper crane, listened intently for a while, and said pleasantly, "My lord is awake!"

"What! Really!" Bai Ling jumped up from her seat and couldn't help saying, "It's been so many years, then we don't have to stay here anymore, let's go back quickly. Go back quickly."

Cang Yu smiled and said: "That's natural, pack up your things and leave immediately."

In a few days, the two had arrived at the Heavenly Feather Realm of the Feng Clan.Looking from a distance, there are well-arranged avenues and trails in the sky. On the backing of these skylines, there are palaces and rooms. Some of them have already exceeded the size of the "road". It doesn't fall, it looks like a floating palace.

If you can retreat hundreds of miles, you will find that these "roads" in midair are actually the branches of trees, and the entire Heavenly Feather Realm of the Feng Clan is actually built on the canopy of a big tree!This big tree reaches up to the sky and reaches down to the ground, which makes people feel awed at the first glance and sigh the majesty of the Creator.

Cang Yu and Bai Ling went straight to the east of the big tree, which was the "Jianmu Palace" where the Phoenix Lord lived, and it was also the main palace among the four palaces in the Heavenly Feather Realm.

After being notified, the two entered the inner hall after getting permission. Behind the layers of light gauze curtains, there seemed to be a figure lying down.The man turned his back to them, and he could only vaguely see his ink-like black hair, with strands of gold in it, which looked dazzling and dazzling.

Cang Yu knelt down and said, "Master."

The man gave a soft "hmm", his voice sounded weak, as if he was too tired to speak.

Cang Yu was suspicious that his master hadn't recovered yet, when he saw the master supported his body with one hand, and slowly sat up from the couch.

"I've been sleeping for many years and don't know the world affairs, please tell me about the matters within your jurisdiction first." Linfeng said lightly.

"Yes." Cang Yu responded. As a goshawk, he is the king of all birds, and he is in charge of many fields in the human world.These years, the lord was absent, and the Feng Clan was in chaos. Although he tried his best to maintain the order in the domain under his jurisdiction, due to the destruction of hostile forces, he still received a lot of harassment and lost part of his jurisdiction.

Linfeng just listened quietly, without showing any displeasure.After Cang Yu finished speaking, she withdrew. It is expected that when the Lord returns, he must have heard many people report the situation.Sure enough, after Linfeng announced to meet Qingniao, Bi Fang, Lovebird, Chongmingniao and other subordinates, he asked them about the general situation of the bird world.

After almost all the birds had reported, Linfeng signaled Chongming Bird Xiuwei and Cangyu to stay.
