Fairy Poison Doctor

The Fengshen Festival in Fengming City is extremely lively. It is more lively during the day than at night. There are all kinds of small stalls on both sides of the street, and there is an old man who is telling a book. His vivid and wonderful words have attracted many people. Whenever it is at the most exciting point, it attracts applause and cheers from the crowd of onlookers.

The storyteller put away the fan in his hand with a "swish", and then tapped lightly on the table, loudly saying: "——The evil spirits are rampant, and the lives of the people are ruined. At this time, from the south There was a phoenix cry from the sky, and when people followed the sound, they saw a huge fiery red bird descending from the sky..."

Sitting at the table closest to the door in the inn lobby, Chi Han cocked his feet, resting his cheek in one hand and holding a cup in the other, listening to the storyteller on the opposite side. Live to laugh out loud.

When Ji Chu saw that he suddenly smiled, his eyes turned slightly, and he fell in the direction of the storyteller, and said, "You like to hear this?"

"The first time I heard it, I found it very interesting. The old gentleman seems to be the owner of the small shop."

The small shop sells books. This kind of bookstore in a town mixed with mortals will naturally not sell books opened by cultivators like the library in Xiancheng, but some local miscellaneous notes and anecdotes. , Chi Han likes to read books, obviously he is interested in the books in that shop.

"Since you like it, I'll accompany you to choose..." Jichu said as he was about to get up.

Chi Han stretched out his hand to hold him down, and said: "That's not necessary, it's just at the opposite door, you can just sit and drink tea, I'll go by myself."

While the two were drinking tea and talking, the storytelling over there had come to an end, and the onlookers all looked unfinished and began to disperse.

Looking around, although there were quite a lot of monks, they were just at the opposite door. If Chi Han was really in danger, he would go there very quickly, so Ji Chu nodded pleadingly.

Chi Han put down the cup he had finished drinking tea in, and went to the bookstore opposite.

An old storyteller was packing up the tables and chairs, when he turned his head and saw a handsome young man approaching, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled.

"Is this son looking for some miscellaneous notes, the old man has a lot here."

Chi Han put his hands behind his back, pretended to be thinking, and said: "Well, I just heard the old man's story about the divine bird was good. Are there any other anecdotes about this divine bird in the store?"

"There are some, please come in." The old gentleman invited Chi Han in.

When Chi Han walked into this small shop, he saw a row of closets inlaid on the wall inside. On the cabinets were placed various bamboo slips and booklets, which were divided in great detail. In front of each stack was placed a The wooden sign said it was the category of books, and the most conspicuous among them was the tallest stack in the middle, the aforementioned "Divine Bird Phoenix".

This small bookstore is for people to read books, not for sale, so Chi Han handed over some newly exchanged silver to the old man, dragged a stool and started to look through.

The soul of a cultivator has been cultivated. To read such a large pile of books, it may take several days and nights for ordinary people, but for Chi Han, it only takes a few hours. His speed of turning pages is really fast , the old gentleman was a little stunned when he saw it, but he didn't say anything.

It wasn't until he turned to a book that was more dilapidated than the others, that Chi Han slowed down. This book was a miscellaneous note, which contained some legends about the phoenix. Except for some well-known stories about In addition to the deeds of the phoenix, there is another one about the soul of the phoenix that can make people reborn from nirvana.

"Old man, I see that you seem to have a deep understanding of the matter of the divine bird, so you say, the soul of the phoenix can really bring people back to life?"

Listening to Chi Han's words, the old gentleman gently stroked his white beard, as if he was thinking about it. After a while, he said slowly: "The phoenix is ​​a god. There is a saying in ancient times that the phoenix can Reborn from the ashes, its soul can regenerate people, and the reborn person will be punished by God for offending God..."

"God Punishment?"

"Life and death have long been predestined, and delusional rebirth is going against the sky, and you will be punished. According to the records in the anthology, even those who go against the sky will suffer from burning fire even if they live a new life. Until they die, their souls will also be burned. Reincarnation!" The old man said softly.

Hearing the old man's words, Chi Han lowered his eyes slightly and fell into his own thoughts, and after a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Old man, can I use jade slips to engrave the contents of these booklets? "

The old man was slightly taken aback. Although he is an ordinary person, there are often cultivators in this city. Hearing Chi Han say "Jade Slips", he knows that the young man in front of him is also a cultivator, so he is more respectful than before. Also some.

"Yes, please do it yourself."

Of course Chi Han knew that most of these anthologies and books about the divine bird Phoenix were conjectured by people and could not be taken as real, but for some reason, he felt that in these anthologies and books, he could find the answers he wanted.

Soon the content was engraved into the jade slip, and Chi Han left. When he walked back to the opposite inn, he saw Ji Chu turning his head and looking at this side frequently, and couldn't help but Laughed.

"Xiao Daoist, which beauty are you peeking at?"

"you."

Chi Han choked on Ji Chu's unhesitating answer, thinking that his upright Taoist master had really failed at learning, and he actually knew how to tease him.

Reaching out to hug Ji Chu from behind, Chi Han rested his chin on his shoulder, slightly curved his mouth, and said, "Not as good as someone."

Then finally, I was satisfied to see someone's ears turn red.

Ji Chu took a sip of tea from his cup uncomfortably, and said, "Did you see some interesting books?"

"Well, I saw something interesting, I need to think about it." Chi Han turned around lightly, sat down beside Chi Han, and gently held his cheek with one hand.

Jichu didn't ask any more questions, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him, because he knew that if Chi Han wanted to talk, he would tell him, and if he didn't want to talk, he didn't need to ask, because even if he asked, Can't get an answer either.

The two of them just drank tea quietly, and it was rare that they didn't speak.

At this moment, Chi Han was thinking in his heart that it was the dream of last night. Although he thought about it every day and dreamed at night, the dream of a cultivator is different from that of ordinary people. The dream of a cultivator usually means something foretells, but he feels that dream It's not different, maybe it's not a dream, but... a memory.

Thinking of this, Chi Han's expression sank slightly, memory, whose memory is that, in that dream his consciousness was attached to a red bird, that is to say, what he saw was that bird memory.

Bird with red feather...?

He remembered that the first time he had a dream was two years ago, when he refined the first fire poison needle, and yesterday he was refining the ninth fire poison needle, both times were fire poison needles. The needle is related, and the source of the fire poison is Ji Chu's backlash.

——If you walk against the sky, you will suffer retribution, even if you do hard work, you will suffer from the fire...

In his previous life, when he was besieged by immortal cultivators and there was no way to retreat, he had thought of detonating his soul and perishing with those people. Since those people wanted his life, they also wanted to keep his life. The first appearance destroyed everything.

The pain he suffered day and night after being taken out of the inner alchemy, and the resentment towards those cultivators were all transferred to Jichu, so he hated Jichu so much, even when they met for the first time after rebirth, When he saw Jichu's fire and poison backlash, he thought that it would be best for him to die just like this... It wasn't until he got together with Jichu later that he thought carefully that if it wasn't for Jichu's appearance, He might have detonated his primordial spirit at that time, not only would his body disappear, but even the chance of reincarnation would be gone.

If what he saw in his dream was a residual memory, the red bird was probably the phoenix. Jichu brought him from the poisonous miasma forest to Fengfeng Cliff, and when he died, he used some kind of secret method to make him reborn. The backlash on his body was not due to a mistake in the cultivation technique of the Taiqing Sect, but...

Thinking of this, Chi Han's hand holding the cup slightly trembled, seeing that the hot spiritual tea in the cup was about to be sprinkled, a hand stretched out from the side in time to support the cup.

"Chi Han?" Ji Chu frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Chi Han's face, but he found that his face was pale, he quickly took off the teacup in his hand, and put it on the table: "What's wrong?"

Chi Han raised his eyes slightly, facing Shang Jichu's eyes full of worry, he stretched out his hand to hug him tightly.

Although Chi Han usually likes to hug him, but this time is obviously different, Ji Chu lightly hugged him on the back, a little at a loss, obviously just now is the same as usual.

"I...I'm fine, I just... want to hug you." Chi Han buried his face in Ji Chu's neck, and said sullenly.

Suddenly, he had a feeling that he didn't know how to face Jichu. If Jichu really did something like that for himself in his previous life, wouldn't he blame him like that at the beginning...

But now, even if he wants to ask for proof, it is already impossible, because Jichu seems to have no memory of his previous life at all.

There were a lot of people coming and going in the inn, and the weird behavior of the two young men hugging each other attracted many people's attention, but neither of them cared at all.

I don't know how long it took, Chi Han finally calmed down, and then let Ji Chu go.

"Xiao Daoist, I will treat you well in the future." Holding Ji Chu's face, Chi Han's expression was very serious.

Ji Chu was slightly taken aback, completely puzzled why Chi Han would say such words suddenly, a slight smile appeared in his eyes.

"you treat me well."
