Salted fish master was forced to accept disciples

"It was so dangerous just now, why didn't you shake the Yinchuan bell? Fortunately, I noticed something was wrong in Xishui City in time, threw Luo Tianchen's body down, and replaced you back, otherwise even if you are a fairy, you will have to suffer .”

Xuanxing Hejun's flat voice rang in Xitao's ear, and there was a rare hint of anger in his voice.

Xi Tao opened his dark eyes and looked at the surrounding environment. He has returned to the heaven, and the poison on his body has been cured.

He sat up, looked at the familiar Immortal Mansion, his expression was not moved at all, he just asked, "How is Xishui City?"

Mr. Xuan Xinghe knew who he cared about, and said in a deep voice: "Nangongjing successfully opened the sky and water and saved everyone. The war outside Xishui City has subsided, and the human race can return home. After the tsunami, the sharks returned to Xishui City. Nangongjing closed the sky and water again, and the mermaids continued to live an isolated life in Xishui City, and the hatred between the two clans was finally resolved."

"Nangongjing saved everyone and became everyone's savior. Since then, he has been admired by all, and he has become the new master of the mermen in Xishui City. He spent his whole life guarding the mermen and stayed in Xishui City."

"Yu Qiqi continues to be her doctor and enjoys helping others. Occasionally, she will go outside Xishui City to exchange medical skills with ordinary people. Her medical skills have improved a lot. She is now a famous doctor and has been doing good deeds to save people."

Xi Tao gently closed her eyes, and after a long silence, she asked hoarsely, "Where's Linger?"

"Jiu Ling has forgotten the past, and has been reincarnated."

Xitao's brows loosened. Jiuling was not possessed, which was finally a blessing among misfortunes. He was silent for a while before asking, "Is the mission a failure or a success?"

Lord Xuan Xinghe said in a flat voice: "Jiu Ling slaughtered Xishui City, he committed a heinous crime, but in the end he sacrificed himself to resolve the grievances between the two clans and saved countless lives."

Whether he is good or bad, a devil or a god, no one can tell.

Xi Tao lowered her eyes and said, "Ling'er has made the kindest choice in his life."

Jiu Ling was born in a difficult situation, and the way of heaven and the world treat him unfairly, so why should he be kind?It's great that he can do that.

Mr. Xuan Xinghe was silent for a while, and said: "Fortunately, Jiu Ling did not completely blacken in the end, and you still have a trace of spiritual power in your body, so this time the mission Tianjun said that you succeeded, Sicheng and Qingling Xianjun will be reduced. The number of reincarnations in one lifetime."

Xi Tao's heart hurt like a needle prick, Jiuling did not completely blacken as he wished, but Jiuling's last trace of kindness made his heart ache unbearably, as if he was about to bleed.

His voice choked slightly and he asked, "Where is Ling'er now?"

Mr. Xuan Xinghe remained silent.

Xi Tao looked up at him, "Can you tell me where he is now?"

Mr. Xuan Xinghe shook his head lightly, "The heavenly secret must not be revealed, you will meet each other if you are destined."

Xi Tao lowered her eyes in disappointment. If possible, he really wanted to look for Jiu Ling now, but he was worried that he would affect his fate again and disturb his fate in the next life.

Lord Xuan Xinghe said: "Immortal Lord Xitao, in this life, you forcibly used mana regardless of the poison in your body, which has already hurt your immortal roots. gone."

Xi Tao was silent and did not speak, still immersed in grief, and hadn't recovered yet, he closed his eyes lightly, Jiu Ling's smiling face seemed to be still in front of him, but now it was a matter of a previous life.

"Yellow beams are a dream, passing by." Xuan Xinghe Jun looked at him and said calmly: "Xi Tao Xianjun, it is time for you to complete the next task, everyone in the world has a destiny, Jiuling has his destiny, and you also have one." Your destiny, it's time for you to fulfill your destiny."

Xitao raised her hand to caress her forehead, and said wearily, "Does it have to be a master-student relationship? I don't want to accept others as apprentices anymore."

Jiu Ling was so lonely, he had nothing but him, he didn't want to accept anyone else as his apprentice, he had promised that Jiu Ling would only have him as his apprentice, and he didn't want to break his promise.

Master Xuan Xinghe said calmly, "Immortal Xitao, you will know in the next world, maybe you will change your mind."

He stretched out his palm, turned into a fairy mirror, and Xitao disappeared on the spot.

There were bursts of thunder outside the heaven, each sound louder than the sound, as if the demon king was roaring and cursing.

Mr. Xuan Xinghe looked up at the lightning bolts outside, expressionlessly conjured up two balls of cotton, and blocked his ears.

In order to restore peace to the heavens, Immortal Xitao can only sacrifice you.

……

Zhaoyang Temple is the royal temple of the Great Wei Dynasty. It is located on the highest mountain in Shengjing. There are 99 steps from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The temple is majestic and the treasure hall is majestic. The place.

Standing under the eaves of Qingshan Temple, Xitao looked at the falling raindrops, raised her hand to touch the top of her bare head, and then looked at the cassock on her body, her eyes were sad, she almost cried, not as annoying as Mr. Xuan Xinghe Immortal!

He couldn't help suspecting that he had offended Mr. Xuan Xinghe before he lost his memory!

When he was in Heaven, he hated chanting sutras and asking questions the most. Whenever the Buddha held a sutra discussion meeting, he would hide whenever he could.

But now...

"Abbot! The meal is ready, please move to the dining hall to eat." A little bald man about ten years old ran over, with energetic eyebrows and eyes, and looked tiger-headed and tiger-headed.

... That's right, he became the abbot in a blink of an eye, not only to listen to scriptures, but also to give lectures to everyone!

Xi Tao pressed her forehead with complicated emotions, and followed the little bald head to the dining hall speechlessly. On the way, Xi Tao asked and learned that the little bald head was named Chang Hua, and he was the youngest monk in Zhaoyang Temple.

Xi Tao took the little bald head to the dining hall in silence, and all the bald heads in the temple sat brightly in the room. In the dining hall, everyone sat in front of the dining table in an orderly manner, with correct postures and very quiet.

Holding the posture of the abbot, Xitao walked over to sit down solemnly, and looked down at the plates of meals on the table, cabbage, tofu, wild vegetables... Xitao rubbed her stomach, and suddenly missed the sauce made by Jiuling. Fragrant chicken drumsticks, braised pork trotters, fragrant roasted pork belly... I want to cry but have no tears.

Xi Tao sat at the table, looked at the tofu and radish in front of her, and didn't move her chopsticks for a long time, "... Amitabha."

The little bald Shanghua raised his head and asked, "Abbot, what are you doing?"

"Pigs, horses, cattle and sheep have life, as do tofu, cabbage, and wild vegetables. I am chanting sutras for them."

"Abbot, you are really kind."

"..."

Xitao finished his meal tastelessly. Under everyone's gaze, he stood up blankly and wanted to leave. When he walked to the door, he suddenly heard a loud noise from the backyard, as if someone wanted to escape It was like a cage, with a loud voice, and then I remembered a clear cry, which was very nice, but Xi Tao couldn't tell what kind of bird it was.

Except for him, everyone in the room looked calm, as if they hadn't heard the sharp noise, and they were still doing their own things.

Xi Tao listened for a while, frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking, "What's that sound?"

It stands to reason that the temple should be the quietest place, how could it be so loud and noisy, but these people are indifferent?

Shang Hua ran over and said, "Abbot, have you forgotten? It was the monster captured by the national teacher half a month ago and locked in the backyard. He is also awake now, struggling to escape."

"Monster?" Xi Tao's eyebrows twitched, she didn't expect monsters to be locked up in mortal temples, it was really strange.

"En." Shanghua nodded, with pure eyes, "Master Guoshi has already set up an enchantment around Zhaoyang Temple. His Majesty the Emperor ordered us to take good care of this monster. After three months, His Majesty will personally host the Heaven Sacrifice Conference. The monsters were burned alive for 49 days to sacrifice to the heavens."

Xi Tao had never heard of burning monsters to sacrifice to heaven, so she couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked casually, "What kind of monster is it?"

"It's a phoenix demon."

Xitao didn't ask any more questions, and her curiosity about this phoenix demon ended here.

He hesitated for a while and asked, "Are there... are there sharks here?"

Shang Hua frowned lightly, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Abbot, I have never seen a shark, nor have I heard of a shark in Wei, but I have only seen records of sharks in books, what do you say? Are there really sharks in this world?"

"... Yes." Xi Tao said softly, looking at the clouds and mist outside the door.

"What does the merman look like? It really has a human body and a fish tail as written in the book, but can it shed tears?" Shanghua asked curiously with bright eyes.

Xi Tao didn't say anything more, and walked out.

After he went back, he checked the classics and found that there was no place called Xishui City. The world was in a hurry. I don’t know whether Xishui City had disappeared or all information had been hidden. Xitao couldn’t find a place called Xishui City here. When he was there, he couldn't help but wonder if everything had really existed, or if it was just a dream of his.

As the night was fading, Xitao sat in the room, quietly looking at herself in the mirror, and finally her eyes couldn't help but fall on her bald head.

Because he barely completed the task in the previous life, so in this life, as a reward, Mr. Xuan Xinghe found him a person who looked exactly like him, but he didn't expect this person to be an abbot.

The person in the mirror looks only in his teens, and he became an abbot at a young age. It can be seen that he has devoted himself to Buddha since he was a child. There is Huigen, the former abbot handed over Zhaoyang Temple to him before he died.

Xi Tao still couldn't help being a little puzzled. Even if Kongfan had a lot of wisdom, he wouldn't become the abbot at such a young age. He couldn't help but take out the Yinchuan bell and shake it gently to ask his question.

Xuan Xinghejun explained: "Kong Fan is the closed disciple of Zhaoyang Temple. There are five brothers in total. One was too old and was taken home for the elderly, one died of illness, one returned to vulgar marriage, and one violated the temple rules and was arrested by the former abbot. Expelled from the temple, there is still a person who cannot speak, so Kongfan can only be the host."

Xitao: "..." Master Kong Fan, you have a very precise eye for accepting apprentices!

Xitao got the answer, the Yinchuan bell went out, and Xuanxinghe's voice drifted away.

Xi Tao lowered her eyes slightly. Although he has already come to the world, he still doesn't know who he will take as his apprentice this time. Because he doesn't want to take other people as his apprentice, he has been slack in his actions and never asked Mr. Xuanxinghe, Mr. Xuanxinghe He didn't take the initiative to say who the target of his strategy in this life is, so he can delay it day by day.

Xitao moved her ears, and heard a cry coming from the backyard, the sound was sweet, like the sound of heaven.

He couldn't help but listened for a while, the cry seemed even more pleasant in the night, he hesitated for a moment, stood up and walked to the backyard, he walked slowly, the night wind gently blowing on his clothes, the front yard The sound of reciting scriptures came from the main hall, faintly, and it seemed that the whole mountain was a little silent.

He stood on the steps in the backyard, stopped, and looked up. A huge cage was built in the backyard, which was bigger than the main hall in front. It can be seen that Emperor Wei attached great importance to this phoenix bird.

In the cage, a fiery red phoenix bird spread its wings and flew around. It seemed to be surrounded by flames, roaring in the cage, with an ethereal and melodious voice.

Xi Tao looked up at it, and couldn't move her eyes. The first impression was that it was beautiful, a suffocating beauty. He had never seen such a beautiful phoenix bird.

The phoenix bird's wings seemed to have suffered some injuries, and there was a lot of dust on it, and a lot of phoenix feathers had fallen off, but this did not affect his shocking beauty at all.

The cassock on Xitao's body was blown by the night wind, it was as red as the phoenix bird, and there were only these two bright colors in the night, echoing each other.

The phoenix bird's pupils turned, and suddenly looked at Xitao, and neighed. The clear and beautiful voice wailed, and Xitao gritted his teeth.

Xitao didn't dodge or retreat, she just stood there quietly and looked up at it. For some reason, she just watched it motionless all night.

In the early morning, Xi Tao returned to the meditation room with morning frost on her body, and Chang Hua waited at the door.

Changhua thought he was out for morning exercise, so he didn't ask any more questions, but respectfully served the meal, put the light porridge and tofu on the small table, and said, "Abbot, after you have had breakfast, it's time to shovel grass in the garden in the backyard." gone."

Xi Tao paused when she was holding the chopsticks, and pointed to herself in disbelief, "I... Abbot, shoveling grass?"

Is the current abbot business so extensive?

Changhua nodded, and said with admiration: "Abbot, you said that this is a kind of hard work, and you often take us to the backyard to shovel grass. You took us to plant those fruits and vegetables."

Xitao: "..."

There was no way, Xitao dawdled for a while after eating, and could only take a group of young monks to the backyard to shovel grass.

The place where they shoveled the grass was in the backyard, where a lot of cabbages, radishes, potatoes and other things were planted, and the spring breeze was blowing, and the area was full of vitality.

When Xitao held the hoe and was so tired that she was sweating, the phoenix kept flying around in the cage. The young monks were restless and couldn't help but sneak a few glances.

Xitao watched the phoenix all night last night, but during the day she pretended to be nonchalant, didn't even look at the phoenix, and only concentrated on shoveling grass.

Fengniao looked at him suspiciously, tilted his head, couldn't help flapping his wings twice to get his attention, but he didn't even lift his head from the beginning to the end.

At night, at midnight, Xitao went to the backyard again, still standing in the same position as last night and looking at Fengniao, Fengniao also looked at him, the two looked at each other, nothing happened quietly, in the early morning When the sun rose, Xitao left again.

During the day, Xitao always hides in the meditation room and pretends to chant scriptures. When he has to go out, he bites the bullet and gives lectures to everyone. Fortunately, although he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run. I have also heard some Buddhist scriptures discussing Taoism. Just saying a few words about these things is enough for a mortal monk to understand for a long time. Finally, they did not reveal their secrets. In my heart, I thank the fairy friends who read back and forth in her ear.

In the dead of night, Xi Tao couldn't help but think of Jiu Ling disappearing in his arms, tossing and turning.

When he couldn't fall asleep, he would go to the backyard to watch the phoenix bird, as if this could bring him a moment of peace. He didn't know why he was doing this, but he always walked towards the backyard involuntarily, as if there was something there that attracted him.

Day after day, his aching heart gradually calmed down.

After getting along for several days, Fengniao has become accustomed to his arrival, but he and Fengniao have never spoken. He passed by quietly every day and watched quietly. At first, Fengniao was extremely irritable and always wanted to break out of the cage and bite him. After taking a sip, he seemed to gradually become curious about him, and tilted his head to look at him, his red eyes focused on him.

They often just looked at each other all night without doing anything, just staring at each other quietly.

Xi Tao didn't know what Fengniao was thinking, but he knew that this would make him feel extremely at ease.

Half a month later, the emperor of Wei called him to inquire about Fengniao's condition, and explained scriptures to the concubines in the harem.

As the abbot of the royal temple, this is also one of Kongfan's tasks, so Xitao had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

Emperor Wei was very old, with black eyes, and sat on the dragon chair drowsy. Xi Tao made a random trick, and it was calculated that his life would not be long. He had killed too much in his life, and he probably couldn't die well.

The national teacher has a white beard and is wearing a Taoist uniform. He should indeed have two points of ability. After Xitao left, he looked at him suspiciously for a long time, his eyes showed a look of inquiry, but Xitao is a fairy, and he can't understand anything after all. , and can't recognize Kongfan's abnormality.

Xitao told them the situation of Fengniao truthfully, Emperor Wei told him to prepare well for the Heaven Sacrifice Conference three months later, then he waved his hands tiredly, yawned in a low spirit, and asked him to go to the harem to give lectures up.

Walking out of the main hall, Xitao met a jade-like young man who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, who looked exactly like Nangongjing, or should be said, exactly like Sicheng.

Seeing a familiar face suddenly, Xi Tao stopped involuntarily and looked at him blankly, feeling a little dazed for a moment, unable to tell where she was.

"Master, hurry up and salute when you see the general's army." The eunuch next to him urged repeatedly, this is the youngest general of the Great Wei Dynasty, he is brave and resourceful, and is admired by others.

Xi Tao came back to her senses and nodded, the major general smiled and said, "Master, you don't need to be polite, just call me Shen Jue."

Xitao nodded slightly, her eyes fell on Shen Jue's familiar face, and her suspicions were revived.

Shen Jue looked at Xitao, with joy in his eyes, and suddenly cupped his hands respectfully: "Master, when I went to Zhaoyang Temple two days ago, I overheard you preaching scriptures, I respect you very much, and I want to worship you as my teacher."

Great Wei advocated Buddhism, and many of the royal disciples were lay disciples, and the ministers also worshiped eminent monks as teachers. Shen Jue didn't believe in gods and Buddhas at first, but he went to Zhaoyang Temple a few days ago, and happened to hear the abbot giving a speech to everyone. During the lecture, the sun shone on the young abbot's cheeks, holy and pure. He stood in the corner and looked at it for a long time, so he firmly remembered this person in his mind.

He has long heard that the abbot of Zhaoyang Temple is the youngest eminent monk in the Wei Dynasty. When he saw Guo Feifan that day, he couldn't help but think of the little abbot for several days. When he ran into him by chance today, he was very pleasantly surprised and couldn't help it. Zhu suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to be a teacher.

Seeing Shen Jue, Xitao suddenly remembered Nangongjing who was his teacher in her previous life, she lowered her eyes slightly, was silent for a while, and said indifferently: "Young general, I haven't understood Buddhism yet, so how can I be your master? You should find someone else." others."

The eunuch next to him couldn't help looking at him a little bit, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, how many people want to be the master of the major general, the abbot is obviously stupid for chanting scriptures, and he really doesn't know what to do if he doesn't want such a good thing.

Shen Jue couldn't help being disappointed, feeling empty in his heart, but he didn't make things difficult for Xitao, and didn't say anything else, he could see that Xitao really didn't want to accept an apprentice, so he could only nod slightly.

Xi Tao pursed her lips, without further entanglement, she nodded slightly at Shen Jue, and walked away.

Shen Jue stood there and looked at his back, and didn't look away until he walked away.

The harem is thin and fat, and the concubines couldn't help being excited when they saw such a handsome and handsome little abbot, and they kept asking Xitao for scriptures, as if they had endless questions, Xitao answered them one by one, But until night fell, they refused to let him go, so Xi Tao had to stay in the palace at night and did not return to Zhaoyang Temple.

Fortunately, there is a special room for monks in the imperial palace. Even if Xitao stays here, she will not be embarrassed and does not have to live in the harem.

In the early morning of the next day, taking advantage of the fact that the concubines in the palace hadn't woken up, Xitao hurriedly ran away and went all the way back to the temple.

He sneezed in the rouge powder for a day, and when he returned to Zhaoyang Temple, he suddenly felt that the incense smell in the temple seemed to be good.

When he went to the backyard to look at the phoenix bird at night, the phoenix bird didn't stare at him and looked at him, but left him with a buttock, turned his back to him, and didn't look back at him.

Xitao looked at the fiery red and beautiful phoenix tail, admired it for a while, and then changed the angle to stand, but he changed the place to stand, and Fengniao also changed the direction. In short, he just didn't look at him, he could only look at it to the tail of the phoenix.

The night breeze was cool, and the sky was getting dark before he knew it. Xi Tao slowly understood that Feng Niao seemed to be throwing a tantrum with him.

Can a bird get angry too?

Xitao laughed, thought for a while, approached the cage for the first time, walked under the huge iron bars, and looked up at Fengniao.

Seeing him approaching, Fengniao seemed to be taken aback, blinking her small red eyes, forgetting to look away.

Seeing Fengniao's cute look, Xi Tao suddenly smiled for the first time in days.

He took out the pastries he had brought from the palace from his bosom, took out a piece, and stretched out his hand to send it into the railing.

Fengniao looked at the hand he extended in, bared her teeth at him, showing what she thought was a vicious expression.

Xi Tao was unmoved, she still stretched out her hand and looked at it without blinking.

It hesitated for a while, moved its feet, flew over and circled around Xitao for a few times, finally took the pastry from Xitao's hand, flew to the sky and ate it.

After eating, it blinked at Xitao again, Xitao smiled, took out another piece of pastry, and spread his palms, this time Fengniao didn't take the pastry away at all, just ate it in his palm.

Fengniao poked Xitao's palm with her mouth, the tip of her tongue was wet and hot, a little itchy, but Xitao didn't move her hand away.

Xi Tao looked at the wound on its wing, and used some spells to heal the wound, and also washed off the dust on its body. The phoenix became more beautiful and dazzling, like a golden sun.

From this day on, every time Xitao went to see Fengniao, she would bring some pastries with her. This seemed to be a tacit understanding between them. They met each other every night and fed Fengniao something every day.

One day, when Xitao went with the cakes again, Fengniao didn't move for a long time, Xitao couldn't help being a little worried, and shook her palm, not knowing what happened to it.

The phoenix hesitated for a while, and finally flew over, but instead of rushing to eat the pastry in his hand, it slowly put a beautiful phoenix feather in Xitao's hand, slightly lowered its head, looking a bit shy.

Xitao was stunned, and realized that this was a gift from Fengniao in return. He looked at the beautiful Fengyu in his palm, couldn't help smiling, and raised his hand to touch Fengniao's head.

Fengniao froze for a moment, and couldn't help rubbing against the palm of his hand. Xi Tao was taken aback for a moment, her face turned pale, and she took her hand back. This familiar movement reminded him of Jiuling uncontrollably.

Fengniao looked at him with blinking eyes, and then stretched out her head over, but Xi Tao didn't touch it again.

Xitao put that beautiful phoenix feather into the vase in the house, and she couldn't help but look at it when she was chanting, but she didn't touch that phoenix feather again.

His mood fluctuated, and he couldn't help thinking about Jiuling suddenly. As time passed, he recalled the past, only to find that Jiuling had already integrated into his life and was inseparable from him. He couldn't tell the difference What does this heartache represent, he only knows that he really wants to see Jiu Ling again.

In the early morning, when Changhua came to deliver breakfast, he saw the phoenix feather in the vase and couldn't help but praised: "It's such a beautiful feather, did you pick it up in the backyard, abbot?"

Xi Tao didn't say yes or no, and lowered his head to eat. The food was really hard to swallow, so he ate very slowly.

Changhua was young, looking at the phoenix feather in the vase, he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, "I really want such a beautiful phoenix feather, but unfortunately that phoenix demon has a weird temper, making it hard to get close to, every time we get a little closer Some, he would spit fire and get angry, otherwise, I would also like to pick up such a phoenix feather."

Xi Tao thought of the appearance of Fengniao gently rubbing under her hand, and was slightly lost in thought.

Changhua looked at the phoenix feather in the vase and sighed, "Such a beautiful big bird, but it's a pity that it will be burned to ashes in three months, no... It's been half a month now, and only two and a half months are left."

Xi Tao's chopsticks stopped in mid-air and didn't move for a long time, but he forgot that the phoenix bird didn't live long.

In the afternoon, Xitao went to the backyard and stood for a while, then ordered: "Let the phoenix out."

The bystanders were stunned and couldn't help but said: "Abbot, His Majesty ordered us to keep this phoenix demon under strict surveillance, and we cannot let it out."

Xi Tao looked at Fengniao's prickly ears, and said casually, "Isn't there an enchantment in the mountain? It can't escape."

Changhua looked at Fengniao with some sympathy, and said, "Anyway, it won't live long, so it's better to give it freedom for a few days."

Although everyone was reluctant, since Xitao gave the order, they had no choice but to let Fengniao go. Fengniao happily flapped its wings and flew out, circled twice above Xitao's head, and flew to the distant woods.

Xitao let it fly around, anyway, it couldn't leave the mountain, and the monks in the temple wouldn't hurt it. After releasing it, Xitao went back to the house and ignored it.

At night, when Xitao was lying on the bed and sleeping, he felt the window being slapped open and the wind gushing in. He opened his eyes and saw a fiery red phoenix crawling into his soft quilt and beating in his quilt. A roll, and then fell asleep, without even looking at him the whole time.

Xitao: "..."

He felt a familiar feeling of helplessness towards this reckless phoenix bird, put on some clothes and closed the open window, went back to the bed, looked at the phoenix bird sleeping on its back, fell silent for a while, and moved the phoenix bird away. He went to the pillow and fell asleep deeply.

When she woke up in the morning, the window was wide open, Fengniao went out to play again, Xitao woke up alone, even Changhua didn't know that Fengniao slept here last night.

In the days that followed, the phoenixes flew around the mountains during the day, not knowing where they went, and would come to sleep in Xitao's room at night.

Xitao is used to leaving a place for him, and putting some food and water on the table. When she wakes up in the morning, the food is often gone, and the water in the water glass will see the bottom. , has already flown out to play.

The two lived peacefully like this for half a month, and Xi Tao felt that she had developed some tacit understanding with a bird, so she couldn't help laughing.

On this day, he was called by the women in the harem to give a lecture. Before leaving, he put cakes in the house and opened the windows.

Xitao stayed in the harem for a day, and couldn't help sneezing for another day. It rained a lot that night, and the mountain roads were inconvenient, so Xitao had to stay in the palace again at night. The spring rain made people upset , Xitao stayed up almost all night.

He came back one day later and found that the windows in the room were locked, and the cakes on the table before he left hadn't been touched. Fengniao probably didn't come back to this room at night.

He called Changhua over to inquire and found out that when it rained last night, Changhua came to help him close the window and even locked the window.

Xitao guessed that Fengniao might have come back, but he couldn't open the window, so he didn't come in. He couldn't help being a little worried. It rained last night, so he wondered if Fengniao had a place to hide from the rain.

He looked by the window for a while, but he didn't see Fengniao. Although he and Fengniao slept together every night, he didn't know where Fengniao stayed during the day, and he didn't know where to find him.

He could only wait for Fengniao to come back at night. After eating, he picked up a scripture and read it.

The room was quiet for a while, and Chang Hua suddenly ran over in panic, "Abbot, it's not good!"

"What's wrong?" Xi Tao raised her head and asked.

"The vegetables that you worked so hard to grow with the big guy were all rotten by that phoenix monster!"

Xitao: "..."

Before he could speak, another young monk also hurried over.

"Abbot, abbot! The phoenix demon suddenly spewed fire and burned all the scriptures hanging outside the Zangshu Pavilion!"

"Host! The phoenix demon is too deceitful! Climb to the top of the little brother's head, and pecked eight ring scars for the little brother!"

"Abbot! The phoenix demon is lawless. He stole the bellyband of a peasant woman at the foot of the mountain, and threw the bellyband into the room of the senior brother. Now the farmer has been asking the senior brother to argue. The senior brother has nothing to say. It is really wronged!"

……

This morning, Xi Tao's ears had never been quiet, so he had no choice but to stand up, go out to Yiyi to settle these matters, and then go to find that tortured phoenix.

He searched around in the temple but found nothing. He walked halfway up the mountain and saw a phoenix bird on a sycamore tree.

The phoenix bird was drenched with phoenix feathers sticking to her body, and she no longer had the radiant appearance of the past. She was standing on the top of a tree and was shivering from the cold. When she saw Xi Tao, her eyes widened immediately, her tail was raised, and she looked Angry look.

Xitao was originally angry, but when she saw his embarrassed appearance, the anger dissipated. Fengniao should be angry that he didn't open the window for it last night, so she lost her temper on purpose today, looking for trouble everywhere. I don't know why , he was always unable to get angry with this phoenix bird.

Seeing Fengniao's eyes soften, Xitao said with a good temper, "I was not in the temple last night, so I forgot to tell Changhua not to close the window, I'm sorry."

Fengniao's two little paws moved on the tree, Xi Tao stretched out her palm, looked at him and said, "Come down, I'll take you to take a bath."

Fengniao was still angry, standing on the top of the tree without moving, still looking at Xitao without blinking.

Xitao thought for a while and said, "I brought you back the imperial pastry in the palace, it's delicious, come down and have a taste."

Fengniao looked hesitant, looked at the dirty phoenix feathers on her body, and stood on the branch hesitating.

Xitao showed her face and smiled at Fengniao.

Fengniao looked at him for a while, then reluctantly flew down and landed in Xitao's palm.

Everyone thought that the host would definitely punish the disobedient phoenix this time, but they didn't expect to see the host carry the phoenix back to the room and ordered someone to bring a basin of warm water into the room, they couldn't help being extremely astonished.

Xi Tao ignored the reactions of others, he put the phoenix bird into the copper basin, cleaned the phoenix feathers for the phoenix bird himself, and then wiped the phoenix bird dry with a towel, even the little claws were washed clean Clean, then put Fengniao on the soft bed and wrap him in the quilt.

Fengniao kept blinking her round eyes at him, hesitated for a while, moved her little feet, and put her head under Xitao's palm.

Xi Tao froze, stared at him for a while, then patted his head hesitantly.

The touch of the bottom of the hand is different from before, and the phoenix is ​​also different from that little mermaid, the body temperature of the little mermaid is always cold, but the phoenix is ​​very hot to the touch, as warm as a small stove.

Xi Tao stroked Fengniao gently for a while, Fengniao let him touch her obediently, squinting her eyes slightly, looking very comfortable.

After a while, Xi Tao let go, let him rest on the bed, walked to the table, picked up a scripture, and started to copy the scriptures. Whenever he thinks of Jiu Ling, he always likes to use this method to calm down , trying to calm myself down.

Xi Tao copied it very seriously, Fengniao flew around the room after resting for a while, and he was not affected in the slightest.

He copied the scriptures all afternoon, and when he looked up again, it was already dark. Fengniao seemed to be a little hungry, and kept pecking his back lightly. Xitao ignored him and just let him put a plate in front of him. After that, he continued to copy the book with his head down, insisting on wanting to finish copying the entire scripture.

Fengniao seemed to feel that he was bored by himself, so he pecked Xitao twice, seeing that Xitao ignored him, he flew behind Xitao in a dispirited manner.

Xitao smiled slightly, lowered her head and continued to copy scriptures at a faster speed, thinking in her heart that she would make up for Fengniao with more delicious food tonight, but suddenly felt her earlobe warm, as if she had been licked by something.

He froze for a moment, then looked back, but was caught off guard by a familiar and amazing face.

He unconsciously held his breath, his heart beating violently, Jiu Ling appeared in front of him without warning, wearing a gorgeous red dress that he had never worn before, with thick eyebrows and eyes, he looked only sixteen or seventeen years old She looked like a girl with curved eyes, hiding a smile, and the cinnabar marks at the corners of her eyes were scorching red.

Xitao was suffocating for breath, staring at Jiuling in a daze, mist filled her eyes uncontrollably, and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Jiu Ling looked at him suspiciously, blinked slightly, raised her hand to stroke his eyes, and asked suspiciously, "Are you crying?"

Xi Tao suppressed her tears, sucked her nose, shook her head and said, "I didn't cry."

He tried his best to calm down, and asked hoarsely in a low voice, "Who are you?"

He clearly knew that the person in front of him was Jiu Ling, but it wasn't Jiu Ling.

"I am..." Jiu Ling frowned, as if he was stumped by this question, he thought about the name everyone had been calling him, and said imitatively: "Feng Yao! I am Feng Yao."

There was a little pride in his tone, completely unaware that in the eyes of others he was a monster who did all kinds of evil.

Xitao felt sour in her heart, her voice was still low, "
