The Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Ceremony came to an end in the crisp sound of birdsong.

Each type of bird in the bird clan sent out the most outstanding monks of the younger generation, who turned into prototypes and circled in the air, using their bodies to form a formation to attract the aura of heaven and earth to nourish the phoenix eggs on the plane tree.

After the singing of birds that symbolized the beginning of the ceremony of a hundred birds facing the phoenix resounded all over the world, Li Yinyin turned into a small oriole bird and followed the team to fly into the sky. This formation has been rehearsed no less than ten times, and Li Yinyin You can fly with your eyes closed.

Don't know what a phoenix egg is like?Li Yinyin is a resident of Fengzao City, but the sycamore tree has always been a forbidden area of ​​Fengzao City, and no one can get close to it.Li Yinyin was curious, and when she flew to the top, she glanced at the sycamore tree standing in Fengzao City.

There is a platform on the phoenix tree, on which there is a bird's nest made of various heavenly materials and treasures. On the edge of the bird's nest are hung a thousand-year-old fleece-flower root, twelve-grade lotus platform, snow lotus and other elixir. These elixirs that were rarely seen by others were randomly placed in the bird's nest, exuding multicolored light, but no matter how dazzling these lights were, they could not conceal the fact that there was nothing in the bird's nest.

Li Yinyin's flying movements were a beat slower, and the entire formation collapsed due to her negligence.

"The phoenix is ​​gone!" Li Yinyin couldn't care less about the formation, she stopped and pointed at the sycamore tree and screamed.

"I'm afraid I can't eat this egg." Cheng Xi walked around the egg thoughtfully. To be honest, he didn't think any chicken would lay such a big egg with such a hard shell. "Ah Zhen, let's do other things." It's delicious."

"No! Ah Zhen wants to eat this!" Cheng Yuzhen refused, and insisted on eating an egg that was bigger than her, lying there motionless.

"But Daddy can't do anything with this egg." Cheng Xi knocked on the top of the egg in distress, "Look, it can't be knocked open."

"No, no, Ah Zhen wants this!" Cheng Yuzhen pursed her lips, making a gesture to burst into tears.

"Okay, okay." Cheng Xi was softened by the unshed tears, and looked at Ying Long for help, "Ying Long, what can you do?"

Ying Long didn't care whether Cheng Yuzhen cried or not, he stood not far away, looked down at Cheng Yuzhen, and asked, "Do you really want to break this egg?"

Cheng Yuzhen wiped the corners of her eyes pretendingly, and nodded: "Ah Zhen wants it."

Ying Long walked over after getting a reply, stretched out his slender fingers and pointed at the egg, a wave of icy blue aura surrounded the egg, Cheng Xi, who was close to him, felt his whole body was cold, and quickly took a step back , Strangely, the chill disappeared after only one step back.

clack clack-

Cheng Xi stood still and looked at the egg. The gray egg was wrapped in ice and turned into a crystal blue color. Ying Long withdrew his hand and looked at the egg quietly.

"Why is this?" Cheng Yuzhen's face darkened, not at all like a child's expression, but she reacted quickly, and before Cheng Xi found out, her eyes were full of tears again.

"Its spiritual energy is hidden deep inside the eggshell, and it is enough to use external force to trigger the spiritual energy." Ying Long waited for a while, and saw that the egg was wrapped in ice and there was no movement at all, feeling something wrong, thinking about what should be done. But there is still a lack of introduction, water aura is not enough, fire aura is also needed as an introduction.

The realm of the three eyes is too low, and the fire aura it drives is not enough. Yinglong is a dragon, and his spiritual root is naturally inclined to water, so the use of fire aura is so-so, so it can't be used as an introduction.

Ying Long remembered the ice-fire double-spin bead he got in the alien battlefield that day. Too many things happened later and he forgot that the bead was still in his body. An ice blue, entangled with each other like no one can do without someone.With a finger of Ying Long's hand, the pair of beads landed on the egg.

The two beads fell on it and caused a chain reaction. Numerous cracks appeared on the thick ice layer. The ice chips were evaporated instantly when they fell on the ground. The color of the egg was no longer gray. The fiery red color, as if there is a fire burning inside.

Cheng Xi felt a rush of hot air blowing towards his face, subconsciously covered his face with his arms, and waited until the heat dissipated before lowering his arms to look at the egg.The egg has completely turned fiery red, with exquisite patterns emerging on it, completely different from the dusty egg before.

clack clack-

There was a sound of something breaking apart, cracks appeared on the extremely hard shell of the egg, and flames emerged from the cracks.

"What's in here?" Cheng Xi was afraid of the unknown, and stepped back a few steps to approach Ying Long.

"It's just a phoenix egg." Ying Long stood in front of Cheng Xi and said something casually.

"Phoenix eggs?" Cheng Xi subconsciously looked up at the sky. The sky was full of colorful birds. Their dancing movements paused for a moment, and then scattered around. The century-old phoenix ceremony was interrupted.

The phoenix inside the egg took a lot of effort and finally got out of it, shook its fluffy and bright feathers, flew out of the eggshell and landed on the ground.

"We won't cause trouble, right?" Cheng Xi finally felt that something was wrong, and looked up at Ying Long.

"No, but thanks to us." Ying Long patted Cheng Xi's hand to make him stop thinking, no emotion could be seen in his dark eyes, "After all, the phoenix has been imprisoned in the egg for so long."

"Niao Niao!" Cheng Yuzhen was very interested in the newly hatched phoenix, and threw herself on the phoenix with outstretched arms, "Hug."

Cheng Xi didn't have time to stop her, so she could only watch Cheng Yuzhen pounce on the phoenix covered in flames. Before she could say "Azhen", she realized that Cheng Yuzhen was fine, and hugged Fenghuang intimately.

Fenghuang also rubbed Cheng Yuzhen's cheek, but looked at Yinglong with a pair of eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end it only turned into a bird song.

Cheng Yuzhen hugged the phoenix's neck, groping around on it, and finally found a dark golden token under the phoenix's wings.

"What is this?" Cheng Yuzhen found what she wanted, and pretended to be ignorant, she got off Fenghuang's body and fiddled with the token in her hand. After the token left Phoenix's body, Fenghuang let out a long cry, He flapped his wings and circled in the air before leaving.

"Give it to me." Ying Long stretched out his hand to Cheng Yuzhen, not surprised by Phoenix's departure.

Cheng Yuzhen blinked her eyes, put the token in Yinglong's hand, and said inexplicably, "Then Ah Zhen will give it to Daddy."

"It has trapped the Phoenix for so many years, I think it very clearly." Ying Long rubbed the pattern on the token, and snorted softly, "What kind of bird is facing the Phoenix, it is just using the essence of heaven and earth to refine this alien token." Token, only the alien token has been refined and the phoenix can see the light of day again."

"If it hadn't been for an accident, the Phoenix might not be born for thousands of years." Ying Long obviously remembered the exact same experience as the Phoenix, and his face became unsightly. He put away the token and looked at Cheng Yuzhen. He said word by word: "You ask me if I understand, then what are you going to do?"

Cheng Yuzhen tilted her head, ran to Cheng Xi's side, shook his hand, and said innocently: "What did Daddy say, Ah Zhen doesn't understand, Daddy will make Eggs for Ah Zhen to eat."

"Why are you scaring Ah Zhen? She doesn't know anything." Cheng Xi, who didn't know the inside story, hugged Cheng Yuzhen, pinched her flushed cheeks, "Daddy will cook something delicious for you."

Cheng Yuzhen made a face at Ying Long, then said coquettishly to Cheng Xi, "I want balls."

Ying Long didn't take Cheng Yuzhen's provocation to heart, and stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, looking at Cheng Xi's back, and only looked away after Cheng Xi entered the kitchen.

"Now that the self-sealed phoenix that prevents the invasion of other worlds and the self-enclosed me who was forced to enter the formation have both been born, it seems that the war will come again in less than ten years." Ying Long looked at his wheat-colored fingers, After the last battle, it took a hundred years for the blood on these hands to subside. I don't know how much blood will be stained this time, "Ah Zhen, you gave me the alien token to let me take the initiative Start a war?"

No one in the empty courtyard answered his question.

Cheng Xi, who carried Cheng Yuzhen into the kitchen, didn't know Ying Long's worries at all. He put Cheng Yuzhen on the ground, rubbed her head, and said, "Daddy make egg custard for Ah Zhen?"

Cheng Yuzhen nodded, and said a good word in a drawn out voice.

Egg custard is a very common home-cooked dish, even people who have never learned cooking skills can make it.Cheng Xi took out a few eggs and cracked them on the edge of the bowl, and the yolk and transparent white flowed into the bowl together. Cheng Xi thought that children must like sweet things, so instead of adding salt, he put in a teaspoon of sugar, and then used chopsticks to Break it up so that the egg yolk and protein are evenly blended together, so that the ingredients are ready, just put the bowl in the pot and steam it.

Cheng Xi scooped a spoonful of water into the pot, and put the bowl on the rack. When he was about to light the firewood, Cheng Xi felt that the eggs were the only ones that were too dull, so he found a few chestnuts and threw them directly into the firewood before lighting them. Get angry.

"Why didn't Ying Long come in?" Cheng Xi squatted down and fanned the fire, and suddenly found that there were only him and Cheng Yuzhen in the kitchen. If he heard that he was going to cook, Ying Long would follow him and chase him away. , Cheng Xi took the time to look outside, and was relieved when he saw Ying Long still standing in the yard.

The egg custard cooks very quickly, and if it is steamed for too long, it will taste bad. Cheng Xi took out the egg custard from the pot and put it on the table, and the light yellow egg custard shook in the bowl , the aroma is tangy.

"Not yet." Cheng Xi stopped Cheng Yuzhen's hand, grabbed a branch and pulled out the roasted black chestnuts from the stove.

Although the appearance of the chestnut is not good-looking, the chestnut flesh is indeed intact after breaking the charred shell.

Cheng Xi peeled the chestnut meat and cut it into pieces and sprinkled it on the egg custard. The aroma of the egg and the chestnut were very strong, and the combination of the two flavors was even more delicious.

"This is yours." Cheng Xi scooped out a small bowl and handed it to Cheng Yuzhen, and walked out with the big bowl by himself, and specifically instructed, "Sit here and eat, don't go out and walk around."

"Yeah." Cheng Yuzhen nodded quickly, and her small face almost fell into the bowl.

Cheng Xi walked up to Ying Long with a bowl of egg custard, scooped up a spoonful of smooth egg custard, put it to Ying Long's mouth, and said, "You eat."

Ying Long didn't say anything, and obediently took the spoonful of egg custard into his mouth.

Seeing that Ying Long had eaten the egg custard, Cheng Xi was relieved, and took a spoonful to eat it himself. The smooth egg custard broke apart as soon as he entered his mouth, and there was still a hint of sweetness. The egg custard is slightly hard, and Cheng Xi can tell it is the chestnuts sprinkled in it with his tongue. Chestnuts are sweeter and more glutinous than egg custard. Cheng Xi has never tried sweet egg custard, and it tastes good now.

"What are you thinking, Ying Long, can you tell me?" Cheng Xi is also a man, and he doesn't want to be kept in the dark because he doesn't know anything. He also wants to protect the person he likes, although his ability is not enough now.

Ying Long was silent for a while and said: "This is our home, I still want to live here with you."

"Then stay here, it doesn't matter even if you don't live here." Cheng Xi grabbed Ying Long's hand, "I will always be with you, as long as the two of us are together, where is home?"

"Yeah." Ying Long looked at Cheng Xi, "I will take care of everything."

However, Cheng Xi became annoyed, and he almost couldn't hold the bowl firmly. He had never lost his temper with Ying Long before, but this time, an unknown fire surged in his heart, and he said sharply, "Ying Long, what are you doing?" Don't tell me? Although I can't help you share the burden now, I don't want to know everything, I am your Taoist companion, and I have the right to know."

As he spoke, Cheng Xi's voice dropped, and he said in frustration, "You didn't even tell me A Zhen's identity, I treat her as my daughter."

"Axi, I'm sorry." Ying Long was at a loss for a moment, even facing countless enemies, he had never felt this way before, "Axi."

"You should have told me." Cheng Xi seemed to have lost all strength, and murmured, "You think I don't know anything?"

"Axi, what do you want to know? I will tell you." Ying Long grabbed Cheng Xi's wrist, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
