On How the Phoenix Hanged on the Crooked Neck Tree

Chapter 36

Sitting on the feather, Qiao Yitong was still a little lost in thought when watching thousands of waves fly past his eyes.

——He seems to know what Miao Qing is.

From this point of view, he really shouldn't have called him Phoenix Lord before.

As if the peacock feather boat knew his destination, it moved quickly without his manipulation at all.

Qiao Yitong glanced down occasionally.What had taken months of arduous travel was now nothing but a flickering light.

The hardships of the journey, as well as the depression in my heart when I came, are nothing but claws in the mud now.

The apes on both sides of the strait couldn't help, and Qingzhou had passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

A day later, Qunyu Mountain, where Fengyundu was located, was already within sight.

Qiao Yitong settled down.Recalling the various coping strategies I had thought about before, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, I put away the peacock's tail feathers and landed in front of the majestic and majestic gate of Fengyundu.

He straightened his white sleeves calmly, as if nothing had happened, just like what he had done countless times before, he walked into the mountain gate.

The jaws of the four outer disciples guarding the gate dropped from shock. After you pushed and shoved, one person asked tremblingly, "Uncle Qiao, you, are you back?"

"En." Qiao Yitong nodded calmly, without stopping.

No one dared to stop him.Everyone stood there in a daze and watched his back for a long time before waking up like a dream and hastening to report to the top.

"Long time no see. Master Qiao is still as handsome and handsome as ever." Someone sighed.

The rest nodded blankly.

"Didn't I choose the drudgery of guarding the gate so that I could see Master Qiao often?"

"You, it's hopeless!"

"Say it like you're not the same!"

The news of Qiao Yitong's return quickly spread throughout Fengyundu under the crazy spread of everyone.

Yixuan knew it, but it was relatively late.

Looking at his only little junior, still dressed in white as before, with a faint smile, standing in front of him like a Zhilan Yushu.There was an unreal feeling.

Qiao Yitong didn't feel anything, and shouted with a normal expression: "Senior brother."

This call brought Yixuan back to his senses, he coughed, and said seriously: "Junior Brother, Master will be here soon, you... don't worry."

Qiao Yitong opened the fan and shook it, and said nonchalantly: "What do I have to worry about? Left and right are just a punishment."

His attitude was too calm and indifferent, on the contrary, it made Yi Xuan, who had witnessed everything that happened at that time, feel suspicious: "Junior brother, are you really coming back?"

When I said it, I felt that my tone was not right. It is better to keep Qiao Yitong steady now, but don’t let him go away in a fit of anger, so he hurriedly added: "Don't worry, Master misses you very much these days. The door is blocked, he has already gone to look for you."

Qiao Yitong listened, not knowing what it was like.

On the face, his eyes were lowered, showing a worried but persevering look.

He seemed to be holding back something, before he said after a long while: "I'll tell you the truth, brother, it's impossible for me to say that I don't have resentment in my heart. However, you know how dangerous it is for me to be away these few months. After thinking about it , or here is the safest place, I was young and frivolous at the beginning, and now I know that if I want to walk the rivers and lakes, I should practice a little bit more."

The voice was low, like a sigh.

Yixuan couldn't help imagining what he had encountered outside to make him show such a restrained appearance now that he has exhausted his edge.

It's like his arrogant and self-willed little junior brother, who ran away in the past and grew up when he came back.

"Junior Brother, you don't have to worry about those misty clouds in the past. As long as you think about it, Fengyundu will always be a shelter." Yixuan said, "I will try my best to deal with Master."

Qiao Yitong nodded and continued to remain silent.

The two were relatively speechless and drank tea.No one knows whose mind.

Qiao Guangyi arrived before a cup of tea cooled down.

"You still have the face to come back!" As soon as he saw Qiao Yitong, he sternly reprimanded him.

Qiao Yitong stood up, called "Master", and stared at the tea stalks floating in the tea bowl, getting ready for the next bombardment.

"You bastard! Aren't you going to run away? I..."

"Master." Qiao Guangyi hadn't finished speaking before being interrupted boldly by Yixuan, "Junior Brother, he just came back."

Yixuan turned to Qiao Yitong again: "Junior Brother has been traveling around for so long, don't you have anything to say to Master?"

"..." Qiao Yitong held back for a long time and said, "Father."

He really has nothing to say about this father.

Qiao Guangyi seemed to have choked on something, and suddenly couldn't use his harsh words.

He stared straight at his useless son, and after a while he let out a sigh, and indifferently ordered Yixuan, "Put him in the dungeon."

Yixuan looked at Qiao Guangyi in shock.

Qiao Yitong didn't respond, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Qiao Yitong was captured without any resistance.Before leaving, I heard Qiao Guangyi's voice: "Reflect on yourself for a month, and after that, you will still be your Young Master Fengyundu."

Who cares.

Qiao Yitong thought silently.

Qiao Yitong has always heard that Fengyundu's dungeon is a scary place since he was a child.But it was the first time I came here by myself.

To be honest, before this, he never thought that he would enter the dungeon as a prisoner.

The person who escorted him was Yixuan's confidant, who dared not neglect him.

Respectfully sent him this Buddha to the prison, the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, and walked away lightly.

Qiao Yitong sat down on the warm and dry straw, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

While in a trance, I heard an impossible voice.

This voice has troubled him for a long time, and when he thinks about it, he feels a faint regret and pain in his heart.

"Qiao Yitong...? Qiao, Qiao Yitong?"

"Xiao Qin!" Qiao Yitong opened his eyes all of a sudden, looking for the owner of the hoarse voice.

"Qiao Yitong...it's you...it's you..." The voice of the person who spoke was weak, and it sounded like he was struggling, but the joy and happiness inside were still clearly audible.

Qiao Yitong said in surprise: "You are not dead?! Where are you!"

"I found you." Xiao Qin took a breath and rested for a while before saying, "Behind the wall behind you..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yitong immediately unfolded the ink cloud fan, and several bursts of sharp energy shot out from the fan bones, turning the thick wall in front of him into powder and gravel.

Ever since his natal sword "killed" Xiao Qin, he never used a sword again.

The prison guards knew that Qiao Yitong's visit to the dungeon was just a formality, and he would return to his original respected status soon, so they didn't dare to stop him.

Xiao Qin, who looked haggard and rough-haired and disheveled, stood behind the broken wall with his body propped up. His eyes behind his hair shone brightly when he saw Qiao Yitong.

Even though his body was so weak that he was trembling slightly, the corners of his mouth still forced a smile.

"I knew you'd be fine." He said slowly.

Qiao Yitong knew that he should be happy to see that Xiao Qin did not die as he thought.But the eye sockets were suddenly moist.

"You..." He choked up, his lips moved twice.I wanted to ask many, many questions, but in the end I only asked, "How did you survive?"

Xiao Qin also had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but all he could say was: "Are you okay?"

"Okay, very good." Qiao Yitong nodded indiscriminately, finished speaking incoherently, came to Xiao Qin's side, and hugged him.

Xiao Qin froze for a moment, and hurriedly refused: "No, I'm dirty."

"Don't move." Qiao Yitong said, Xiao Qin really didn't move at once.

Xiao Qin carefully felt Qiao Yitong's temperature and breath, and inadvertently saw Qiao Yitong's clothes being dirty by his own clothes out of the corner of his eyes, he was a little dazed.

He knew that Qiao Yitong had a cleanliness habit, and had always dirty his clothes on purpose before.I want to see how he looks calm on the surface, but he is actually mad by himself.

But now, Qiao Yitong took the initiative to lean over him, and he didn't dislike him at all.He didn't care that he was also contaminated with filth, but he didn't want him to get a speck of dust.

He listened to the pounding heartbeat in his chest.

All the skin that came into contact with Qiao Yitong became warm.

Things are wrong.

Only getting deeper and deeper has not changed.

No matter what, you can't escape the ending of being captured.

Xiao Qin closed his eyes, took a deep breath greedily, and pushed Qiao Yitong away.

"At that time, although I was on the verge of death from the sword and passed out, my hazy consciousness was still there. I knew that I was floating on the river and was washed to an unknown place." Xiao Qin tried his best to keep his voice calm and restrained, "That place The spiritual energy is very abundant, and it seems to have a nourishing effect. I was awake sometimes, and fell asleep sometimes. I tried to heal my injuries while I was awake, and I don’t know how many days I was fully awake, and the injury was almost healed.”

After taking a breath, Xiao Qin continued: "I know you were washed into the water with me, so I went to look for you nearby. I couldn't find you no matter what, I think you might have been caught back to Fengyundu, and I can't let you go No matter, I just want to go back..."

"Then you went back to Fengyundu and were caught and locked up in a dungeon?" Qiao Yitong continued, no matter how much she told herself to take good care of Xiao Qin, she couldn't help but say, "Are you a fool?"

Xiao Qin didn't refute anything, just lowered his head and smiled: "Maybe."

No matter how much Qiao Yitong felt helpless, resentful, and regretful, they all turned into pity and guilt at this moment.He helped Xiao Qin to sit down, and said in a gentle voice, "The dungeon is bitterly cold, I will warm up your body."

Xiao Qin didn't refuse, he relaxed his body, letting Qiao Yitong's peaceful spiritual power flow through his limbs, feeling warm.

After being locked in the dungeon for so long, he suddenly felt that this place turned out to be a pretty good place.

Dark, quiet, and small...

No one bothered, just two people.

Thinking of something, Xiao Qin untied a lanyard around his neck and handed it to Qiao Yitong.

"This, I will entrust you to keep it for me in the future."

Qiao Yitong was concentrating on conveying spiritual power, but unexpectedly something was stuffed into his palm.

He looked down and saw that it was an inconspicuous half-moon-shaped stone with the word "Qin" engraved on it.

He took the stone and rubbed it lightly, puzzled.

Suddenly he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin smiled shyly and said: "It's not something precious. It's not even a piece of jade, it's just the only thing I had when I was a child. That's why I was named 'Qin'... My father is not dead yet When he told me that I was a descendant of Princess Qin, he would always brag about it, how could there be any princess?" Seeing Qiao Yitong's increasingly shocked expression, he forced a smile, "No, Qiao Yitong , are you enough brother, if you dare to dislike me, then I..."

"So it's you." Qiao Yitong said word by word, "So it's like this."

"What?" Xiao Qin froze in place.
