On How the Phoenix Hanged on the Crooked Neck Tree

Qiao Yitong left.

A person left.

He searched all the way without food and sleep, although his body was exhausted, but because there was always a thought in his heart, his spirit was uplifting and uplifting.But now, I clearly saw Zhiji, but seeing her bound up on this isolated island like a humble animal, like a humble animal, seemed to feel a heavy weight in my heart, As if making him vomit. The shackles of "helping Zhiji" seemed to be wrapped around him invisibly.

In all fairness, the scenery on this island can be regarded as excellent, but now he has lost the mood to appreciate it, and just wants to leave as soon as possible, chasing a glimmer of hope.

—Yes, slim.The phoenix is ​​a mythical beast in legends. There is only one in the world. It is the supreme honor. How can he, a little cultivator who has just stepped into the path of cultivation, easily see it?

However, for the sake of his mother, no matter whether it is possible or not, he will always do his best.

Qiao Yitong lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, showing serious sadness on her face.The crow-feather-like eyelashes cast a gray shadow on his face. He was originally an unparalleled beauty, but now that indescribable beautiful face was stained with this melancholy, and he looked more and more like a banished fairy.

As the sun sets, the beautiful sun and wind on the island quietly reveal its cold and fangs.

Qiao Yitong gave Zhi Ji her outer shirt before, so now she only wears a plain middle coat.The cold couldn't hit him, a cultivator, but he stretched out his hands and hugged his arms, feeling a little lonely and desolate for no reason.

He thought, when did he fall from the stars to such a state?

If, if there is someone...

He closed his eyes, shook the chaotic thoughts out of his mind, and continued to walk.Leave a whirling tree shadow.

Under the rustling trees, a red corner of the clothes suddenly appeared in the swaying black shadows.

The next moment, the long-haired tall man turned around from the shadows, staring at the figure in the distance that looked a little slender in the wind without blinking.

"Hmph." He twitched the corners of his lips with a smile, and uttered a single voice full of disgust and disdain, "After all these years, this woman is still so worrying."

"Master...?"

Linfeng's voice was very indifferent, but the content was not so calm and breezy: "This deity hates trouble the most."

A gust of wind blew by, and just placed a piece of emerald green leaf lightly in his palm, as if a gentle kiss had fallen, Linfeng raised his hand, holding the greenery like a treasure, his expression was like ice being blown by the spring wind He softened as if he had passed, and revealed a small smile: "His journey to the Feng Clan must be extremely dangerous. No matter what, he needs to be fully protected."

"Yes, my lord."

Since ancient times, the dragon, phoenix and unicorn have existed in people's myths and legends. Everyone knows their existence, but no one has ever been able to prove their existence.

Qiao Yitong has always loved reading dramas, but he never thought that he would one day pursue myths like the characters in dramas.

"Three tribes of beasts, the dragon dominates the sea, the phoenix dominates the sky, and the unicorn dominates the land."

"The phoenix belongs to the element of fire, restrained by water, aided by wood, mutual generation and restraint, continuous and endless, so the place where the phoenix clan meets water and wood."

"The phoenix is ​​not a phoenix tree. From this point of view, as long as you find the location of the sacred tree phoenix tree, you should not be far from the Feng Clan."

"Indus is one of the four sacred trees. Fusang is in the east, Ruomu is in the west, and Jianmu is in the middle, but there is no record of where the sacred tree is.

load……"

Qiao Yitong didn't know how many times he had deliberated in his heart these days, grinding all the information about the Feng Clan in his mind like a wheel, grinding all the imprints left behind.But after all, the world knows very little about the beasts of the three races, no matter how much they turn their heads, the clues will come to an end.

"The whole world is only as big as the chessboard. Is it so difficult that you can't find a place in your life?" Qiao Yitong thought to himself, since he has no direction anyway, instead of standing still, it's better to let go and let God choose a direction.For the rest, just walk and watch.

When he came to a temple, he didn't look at which gods he was enshrining. He first inserted a stick of incense, bowed casually, then took the stick in front of the incense bank, and shook out a stick from the middle.

Qiao Yitong didn't look at the content of the sign, but just wanted to let the place where the sign fell help him choose a direction to come out.The stick pointed to the south, and at this moment, a gust of wind mixed with dust blew through the ruined temple with air leaks everywhere, causing the stick to gently turn around—it was to the east.

"Hmm..." Qiao Yitong rubbed his chin.The will of the heart is also unpredictable, and in the end it still depends on the mortal's own choice, so Shi Shiran accepted the lottery, bowed his head and smiled, and rode the breeze to the east.

But when his back disappeared at the end of the wild path, a man in black turned out from behind the ruined temple, skillfully sending a letter to his master far away.

"He's all right."

The person in the distance was leaning against the window, holding the letter in his hand, reading and reading those words over and over again, as if a figure appeared in front of him through the letter.

"My lord, your soul-leaving disease hasn't healed yet, and you've damaged your vitality by forcefully descending to the lower realm before. Remember to rest well and let your body recover for a while." Qingniao saw it in his eyes, and there was a touch of it in his expression sad.

"It's okay." Linfeng waved his hands indifferently, but his eyes were still fixed on the letter.

The blue bird sighed silently and backed away silently.

Qiao Yitong walked all over the road, and when there was nowhere to go, there was an endless blue sea in front of him.

It has reached the coast of the East China Sea.

Although he is quite talented in cultivating immortals, after all, he has not cultivated the magical power of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Facing the waves in front of him, Qiao Yitong was dumbfounded.

……

"Tongtong should be worried about crossing the sea." In the south of Tianyu Realm, the phoenix master with long hair swaying to the ground raised his head slightly, and looked at the blue sky that seemed to be shining with dazzling white light through the thick branches of the hibiscus tree.

On the endless blue sky where even a cloud can't be seen, a stream of air was blown unexpectedly—to be precise, judging from the majestic and majestic sense of power that could be felt in the air stream, it was more like It is a breath of fresh air between heaven and earth that has existed since ancient times.

The corners of Linfeng's clothes and hair were churning and shaking in the air because of the stronger wind. He closed his eyes in the strong wind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You're finally here—Kunpeng."

Linfeng's voice was not loud, but it resounded through the sky in a different sense. At least the cloud gradually calmed down after Linfeng made his voice.

Any mortal present can feel the invisible, intangible, but very existential airflow slowly and slowly, curling himself up from a huge volume covering the entire sky into a small ball, and then falling Under the window in front of Linfeng, it looks like a light bird perched on a branch.

The airflow was silent, but Linfeng clearly felt its greetings to him.

"I'm fine," Linfeng's smile hides these worries, "it's just that 'he' has encountered some troubles, Kunpeng, I think I need your help. You know, the current 'he' is unlikely to Climb to the top of the hibiscus tree with one's own strength."

The air flow surged suddenly, filling the entire room in an instant.Linfeng knew that it was thinking about it, and then, in the blink of an eye, the airflow covering the entire room disappeared.

"Kunpeng" left.

But at the same time, it agreed.

Linfeng smiled with satisfaction, and he stretched out his hand to hold the pillar beside him to support his body.Looking carefully, his face seemed to be paler than before.

The aura of the phoenix is ​​very useful to Kunpeng, who has only a trace of his soul left in the world.

……

The wind suddenly became stronger. Even though the wind at the seaside was always strong, hitting people's heads and faces with a salty and wet breath, the wind at this moment was really too strong.

Qiao Yitong even thought that there was going to be a storm here soon, but there was no such thing. Although the wind and waves in front of him were turbulent, and the waves hit the rocks one after another, splashing white snow, but the sky above was still reassuringly calm.

Moreover, although the wind is fierce, its breath is really too fresh, as if the righteousness of the world is wrapped in it, and just being in its center gives off a kind of awe-inspiring air.

In the package of the airflow, Qiao Yitong realized that there was something alive, not just a mass of airflow.

【Kunpeng--】

A simple, thick and vague voice sounded directly in his mind, as if it came from the vicissitudes of life hundreds of millions of years ago.

Qiao Yitong knew almost instantly that this cloud of fresh air was "Kunpeng".

"There is a fish in the north, and its name is Kun. The size of the Kun is unknown to thousands of miles; when it turns into a bird, its name is Peng, and the size of the Peng is unknown to its thousands of miles."

I just don’t know why it only exists in the books written by Zhuangzi, why does the legendary Kunpeng appear here?And why is there only one body left?

Qiao Yitong was full of doubts, but now there was no room for him to think about it—his body was buoyed up by the air current, and then lightly crossed a vast expanse of water in the vast ocean, and flew eastward into the sky.

"Hey!——What on earth are you going to do?" Qiao Yitong stood up uncomfortably, trying to break free from Kunpeng's shackles and jump off, but the airflow tightly restrained him, so that he could only stand motionless on the spot, and under the action of the airflow, he jumped. Rise higher.

[Go where you want to go. ] The ancient voice replied.

Qiao Yitong raised his eyes and scanned the surroundings, wondering if it was his illusion, the colorless and formless air seemed to condense indistinctly into two huge wings, and he was sitting between these wings, soaring up to the sky.

Qiao Yitong stopped struggling unknowingly. For some reason, there was always a familiar feeling about Kunpeng, which made him inadvertently trust the other party, or in other words, trust the person behind Kunpeng.

The speed of riding on the wind makes people lose the concept of time and space for a while. Qiao Yitong raised his eyes suddenly, but he couldn't take back his mind—his eyes were completely caught by the huge tree in front of him. attracted.
