Are you surprised?This shrine that I have guarded for thousands of years does not enshrine the phoenix at all.

It is me who is enshrined.

Because what the old man who built the shrine wants to thank is not the phoenix, but the fire that fell in front of him in the past.This far-reaching gratitude supported the newborn me to live through the most vulnerable days.

It also makes this shrine bear the name of the phoenix, but all the merits and virtues belong to me.

This is also the secret that Ghost Shibai has been hesitant to say to me.The merits and demerits of the human world are detailed in hell.In their records, the merits of this once exclusive temple are unknown, because the underworld controls all living beings, but does not include a lifeless flame.

The ghost made Bai already understood everything when he saw me, but he couldn't tell me clearly because of his duty.

Yes, the offerings to this shrine have become my strength.Just like Fengshen loses his offerings and becomes weak and degenerate, I get offerings so I grow day by day.Our lives are linked to our respective shrines.

Therefore, when the shrine collapsed, it was me who was hurt and suffering, not Phoenix.

I realized all this when the hall collapsed, and couldn't help but fell to the ground.

Phoenix lowered his eyes, like a bodhisattva overlooking all living beings in a temple.But the Bodhisattva's eyes are compassionate, but the Phoenix's eyes are like ice.

"Phoenix Fire, you are the flame I left behind, but at this moment, I am extremely envious of you. No, it's jealousy."

"Phoenix..."

"When I stepped into this temple, I knew that this shrine does not belong to me. I don't have the vitality and kindness of the statue. Phoenix fire, the temple collapsed, and you will also be extinguished. But you loved and hated , Crazy, missed and missed, grateful and grateful. Your life is far better than mine."

I felt that the consciousness belonging to my brothers and sisters in my body was disappearing, and they finally turned into nothingness one step ahead of me.I felt my body cooling down rapidly. This time it was not weakness, but my fire was extinguished.

With the last of my strength, I stretched out my hand to hold Phoenix's sleeve, and pressed my forehead against the back of his hand: "Master Fenghuang, stay away from Hei Qingming. You are a divine bird of light, please, please don't sink into it..."

Fenghuang raised my face, very confused: "Fenghuanghuo, why are you still so calm in the face of death?"

Because I have seen him.This is the meaning of my life.

But I don't have the energy to say it.

My flame that burned for thousands of years was extinguished, and the ever-bright world in my eyes dimmed.

*********************

However, I opened my eyes again, and the fire at the shrine had already been extinguished.The sky was blue and there was not even any smoke.

Fenghuang stood in front of the collapsed gate, only his back was facing me, a little inexplicably strange.

I stood up and felt strength filling my body again.But this power is very strange, and I can't control it yet.

I knelt down behind him: "Lord Phoenix, what happened? Did you save me?"

"No, you saved me, Fenghuanghuo." Fenghuang said and turned around.

I looked up and couldn't help but exclaimed.Phoenix's three thousand black hairs turned into white hair, and the clothes made of feathers became tattered and dull. Although there were no wrinkles on his face, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent.

I wanted to grab his hand, but I was a little reckless, and he was actually dragged by me and fell to the ground.

That is Phoenix, how can I shake him?

"Phoenix fire, don't be surprised. This appearance is suitable for me. I am already old, but unfortunately I can't get rid of this shape. Now I am fine, and the Nirvana fire that keeps forcing me to be reborn is on you."

"On my body?!"

Phoenix smiled proudly.That was the brightest smile I've ever seen on him: "Yes. The fire seed of the phoenix fire in your body has been completely extinguished, so there is room to accept the fire seed of my nirvana fire. From today onwards, the only divine bird in the world Phoenix, it's you. This shrine finally deserves its name."

I froze, then shook my head desperately: "I don't want it. I can return the tinder to you."

"Neither do I. I have nothing to do with my own life. I must at least control death. What's more, the fire can only be taken out when you are dying, and you are a newborn phoenix. The fire will not leave your body easily."

I looked at my arms and realized that my body had really become radiant, which was the beauty of a phoenix.

I just hate myself.Not only stole the offerings that should be given to Phoenix, but also took away his fire seed, it is the worst thing in the world!

Fenghuang breathed out very tiredly: "The power I lent to that Onmyoji, you can take it back instantly with the Nirvana Fire." He lightly touched my face, his fingers were as cold as the endless night.

"You are more suitable for living than I am, and more suitable for the phoenix imagined by the people of the world. I really envy you..."

The last sigh that Fenghuang left in the world was the spark of his envy.

*******************8

Today, you can call me Phoenix Fire, or you can call me Phoenix.

This is my story.I don't know why I should tell you.Maybe it's your distaste for longevity that reminds me of him.

Eight hundred bhikkhuni, I have rekindled on the verge of extinguishment time and time again, until today.So I understand the pain you endured, and I also understand your longing for relief.

But your fire is not yet ready to go out.

You are a human race, and the human race thirsts for life the most.This is what I have always admired.

Don't talk about Fenghuang's begging for death. What he thought at the last moment was to fight against his fate.

Eight hundred bhikkhunis, you are too early to give up your life.

oh?Seeing your disbelief, I can't preach to you either.Then I ask you to do something.look……

Yes, when the phoenix was dying, I lit him with my own fire.He no longer has the fire of Nirvana, but the fire seed of a phoenix.

Eight hundred bhikkhuni, please help me, take him to travel, go to all the beautiful places, and help him love this world.

I?Of course I can't go in person.The new Phoenix Shrine is already under construction. Since I am enshrined by the world, I naturally want to listen to the prayers of the world and bestow their blessings.

So, you can't be lazy.I'll watch you when I'm cruising the sky.

I hope that when you and this new phoenix fire come back to me, there will be a burning fire in your heart.
