Fu Luan

After leaving Beidi, the two of them went back to Taiyi Immortal Sect.

After staying in Taiyi Immortal Sect for three months, Xu Youming opened the altar to give lectures one after another, and then left many Taoist formulas to the disciples in the sect. After finishing what should be done, he returned to Xiaoyao Mountain with Le Wuyan.

If there is nothing important in the future, they will not return to the sect in a short time.

After returning to Xiaoyao Mountain, the two retreated again.

Afterwards, they leave the customs for a short period of time every 20 years to breed the newly-grown red chinchillas, and select chicks with higher phoenix blood concentration to prepare for the next breeding.

During this period, Su Liufeng came here twice by himself, and also sent his men down several times to bring the newly collected phoenix bones.

150 years passed like a fleeting moment.

By the time he left the customs, Le Wuyan's cultivation had already broken through the tribulation.

When the news was sent back to the Taiyi Immortal Sect, it goes without saying how the outsiders were shocked. Le Wuyan's current thoughts are all on his little phoenix.

The Crimson Bird has been bred for seven generations, and by this generation it is almost the same as a phoenix in appearance. If it hadn't been for Le Wuyan's certainty that this is still a Crimson Claw, in the eyes of most people it could almost be a fake.

Le Wuyan's expectations reached their peak when these ancestral red birds started to estrus one after another and replaced their bodies with phoenix bones to breed and lay eggs.

The first female in estrus only laid four eggs in one estrous period, and only one of them was a real phoenix egg in appearance. Its shape and size were the same as Le Wuyan’s own eggshells, except for the color. Not as bright as him.

After all, Le Wuyan is a descendant of the Phoenix King. Ordinary phoenixes cannot be compared with him. It is not uncommon for the color to be a little worse. But whether a real little phoenix can be born here, Le Wuyan himself does not dare Sure.

Before that, Ming Jin and Qi Feng came back, and Qin Ziyu also left the customs.

More than 100 years have passed, although Ming Jin and Qi Feng's cultivation could not go any further, the power around them is quite different from that of the past. One can tell that they have experienced a lot in these years.

Le Wuyan tried Ming Jin's two moves, and he only used [-]% of his cultivation, but now he is a half-immortal, and Ming Jin can catch it, it's really not easy.

"Okay, you boy, there are a couple of times, these years really didn't go outside for nothing, I thought you two were enjoying yourself outside, and you don't plan to come back." Le Wuyan smiled and closed his hands.

"No way," Ming Jin explained, "We came back two or three times halfway, but Master, you and your senior brother didn't leave the customs, so we went out again. By the way, I haven't congratulated Master for successfully breaking through the tribulation. congratulations."

Qi Feng also took a step forward to congratulate Le Wuyan, Le Wuyan waved his hand indifferently: "It's no big deal, what about you two, do you have any special experiences when you are away these years?"

Ming Jin curled his lips and said: "Don't mention it, I have been trapped in a secret place for decades, and finally came out. There is no big chance, but I have escaped from the dead several times. The most unlucky time was that I almost became the victim of those disgusting strange beasts." It's a meal on the plate, and it's our fate to come out alive."

After hearing this, Le Wuyan not only showed no sympathy, but laughed for a while. Mingjin knew that his master had reacted in this way. He said that he and Qi Feng's unlucky things were just to make Le Wuyan laugh, and rolled his eyes. , took the initiative to change the subject: "Master, is Little Phoenix born yet?"

Mentioning this, Le Wuyan became more and more happy: "You guys came back just in time, soon, and in a month or so, little phoenix will be able to break its shell."

Hearing this, Ming Jin clapped his hands excitedly: "Then I'll go and prepare the wine. The wine we buried before going down the mountain can just be dug out. When the little phoenix hatches, we must celebrate it!"

Qin Ziyu entered the seclusion on the second day after Mingjin and the others came back. After 150 years of seclusion, he directly broke through the three major realms, and his current cultivation has reached the early stage of Mahayana.

The first thing he did when he left the customs was to ask Xu Youming about swordsmanship. After thirty moves, Xu Youming still won, but Qin Ziyu didn't lose much. Even if you can't win, you don't necessarily lose.

After withdrawing the sword, if Qin Ziyu realized something, fighting Xu Youming gained far more than his own ten years of retreat and enlightenment.

"Thank you Xianzun for your enlightenment!"

Pressing the regret in his heart after losing, he sincerely thanked Xu Youming.

Le Wuyan interrupted them: "Okay, okay, don't think about the sword competition as soon as you come out, you are almost becoming a sword idiot, little peony."

Qin Ziyu smiled: "Ma'am, congratulations on breaking through the tribulation."

Le Wuyan also smiled and said, "Congratulations."

After that, Xiaoyao Mountain became lively again, as if some kind of omen, Le Wuyan felt more and more that the little phoenix would be born smoothly this time.

The egg that was endowed with popularity has never broken its shell, Le Wuyan simply took the egg back to his house, and held it in his arms every day, never even putting it down to sleep.

Ming Jin came over to see it, and laughed at him for hatching the eggs himself, and when the little phoenix hatched, he had to be recognized as his father.

Le Wuyan scolded a few words, but didn't put down the egg, and still hugged and protected it every step of the way, nourished by the true spirit of the phoenix every day. After more than half a year, the first crack finally appeared on the eggshell.

Hearing the news, Ming Jin and the others all came over to have a look, staring eagerly at him with several pairs of eyes. Three days and three nights passed like this, but there was no movement.

"Didn't it say that the shell was about to be broken? Why didn't it move again? Or we could just smash the eggshell."

Ming Jin stretched out his hand and wanted to cast a spell, but Le Wuyan slapped his paw away: "Don't move."

Qin Ziyu also showed concern, and hesitantly asked Le Wuyan: "Those red birds before, don't seem to break their shells so slowly?"

But Le Wuyan said: "It's better to slow down, the real phoenix is ​​slow to break its shell, and the beast is rare."

After he finished speaking, he wrapped his hands around the Phoenix True Spirit and covered the egg. After a few breaths, the crack gradually turned into two, three, and countless cracks. Everyone held their breaths and gathered around together.

"It's fine," Xu Youming reminded Le Wuyan, "Let it break through by itself, it can't depend entirely on you."

Le Wuyan withdrew his hand, clenched his fist hard, and stared at the egg with burning eyes.

Two quarters of an hour later, with a crisp sound, a corner of the eggshell finally broke open, and the chick with its eyes closed poked its head out a little, and called out a "chirp" tentatively.

When it came out of the eggshell bit by bit, Le Wuyan's breathing even stopped for a moment, and the little monsters exclaimed: "It's really blue..."

The fledglings that have just hatched have sparse feathers and are more fluffy than the red phoenix. Except for the colorful phoenix feathers on the tail, the whole body and both wings are blue. It is indeed the legendary blue luan.

"Then is this Little Phoenix?" Ming Jin asked uncertainly.

Xu Youming said: "Just looking at the shape, it should be."

But he was not sure, his eyes fell on Le Wuyan, and Le Wuyan put his palm close to the chick, closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, and felt relieved: "Yes, it is a Phoenix chick."

The little Qingluan was already close to his hand, its soft blue feathers rubbed against his palm.

Le Wuyan found this little thing quite pleasing, and rubbed it with his fingers carefully.

Everyone was overjoyed, Ming Jin relaxed and stretched, and said with a smile: "This little thing really wants to recognize Master as a father, congratulations to Master for becoming a father."

Le Wuyan ignored him, Qin Ziyu also asked curiously: "Ma'am, if this little Phoenix has any offspring, will it be a Phoenix as well?"

Le Wuyan explained casually: "If two phoenixes are the offspring of the union, it is naturally a phoenix. However, the phoenix is ​​a divine beast. After thousands of years, Qingluan will be reborn as a real phoenix in order to regenerate a little phoenix."

Ming Jin asked one more question after hearing the words: "Master, you have broken through the tribulation, can you become a real phoenix now?"

Le Wuyan's voice paused: "It should be fine."

Ming Jin said: "Then you are only over 200 years old?"

Le Wuyan: "I am a human cultivator."

In fact, it’s really hard to say whether he was transformed into a phoenix or a phoenix. After all, he returned to the chick first and then died again. Xu Youming used the phoenix king’s bone to reshape his physical body as a human body, and what he left was also a human cultivator. However, no matter how he calculates, his cultivation base has broken through the tribulation, and he can indeed completely transform into form.

Not wanting to talk about this anymore, Le Wuyan sent everyone away, and the blue luan bird that had just broken its shell remained by his side, and he planned to raise it himself for a while longer.

Holding up the little Qingluan who was still screaming "Jiujiu" in the palm of his hand, Le Wuyan brought it to Xu Youming with a smile: "Look."

Xu Youming glanced expressionlessly: "Like it?"

Le Wuyan teased the little thing in his hand: "Of course I like it, it's kind to look at."

Xu Youming reminded him: "No matter how much you like it, you can't stare at it every day. You can protect it for a while, but you can't protect it forever. It is a divine beast, and you have to rely on yourself to survive."

Le Wuyan put the chick back into the nest, and said embarrassingly: "Of course I know, but it's still a chick, and it's just this one, can I be careless? Although the Fengshui here in Xiaoyao Mountain is good, it's not as good as the homeland after all. , and returned to his homeland, this little Qingluan can grow up safely."

Xu Youming lowered his voice: "The other red phoenixes are also approaching the estrus period one after another. If you can raise a hundred green luan, send them back."

Le Wuyan looked up at him, Xu Youming nodded slightly.

Le Wuyan: "...One hundred green luan, how can it be so simple."

Xu Youming: "If you have the heart, sooner or later you will."

Le Wuyan got up, clapped his hands, jumped onto Xu Youming, and hung around his neck.

"Look at me." Le Wuyan drew out his voice, staring into Xu Youming's eyes.

Xu Youming frowned slightly, his eyes showed helplessness: "What are you doing?"

Le Wuyan: "Yaoyao, I'm not happy to send Little Phoenix back, what exactly do you mean?"

"I'm not unhappy," Xu Youming hugged him, put him on the couch, frowned and said, "Don't move."

Le Wuyan still wrapped his hands and feet around him, and wrapped him even tighter: "He said he wasn't unhappy, it was written all over his face, liar, you can't fool me."

Xu Youming pressed the person down: "Stop making trouble."

Le Wuyan didn't listen to him, propped himself up, and pressed against his forehead: "Don't be unhappy, I will come back."

Xu Youming looked at him quietly.

Le Wuyan raised two fingers with a smile: "I promise."

Xu Youming took him into his arms: "...Let's talk about it later."

In the next three years, nearly a thousand red-headed birds on Xiaoyao Mountain came into heat one after another, and little green luan was born continuously, from one to ten, and then to a hundred.

On the day when a green luan broke its shell, the sky was full of colorful clouds, which lasted for a long time, and the sound of the luan's cry pierced the sky. Beyond the nine heavens, there were faint voices from the sky, as if responding to them.

Le Wuyan knew that the time had come for him to send these little phoenixes back to their homeland.

After the night fell, Xu Youming set up a hundred sky lanterns one by one from the top of the mountain, and turned to look at the people behind him.

Le Wuyan: "Yaoyao..."

Xu Youming reminded him in a deep voice: "Let's start, don't waste time."

Le Wuyan wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that there was nothing to say. Finally, he took a deep breath, released the Phoenix True Fire, and lit a hundred sky lanterns at the same time.

The sky lantern rises with the night wind, and the colorful lights gradually submerge into the boundless night tide.

The spark burns out until the end of the sky.

Then that bright red light cut through the long and silent night, passed through the sea of ​​moonlight and stars, and fell to the place where the sky lantern rose.

Le Wuyan stared blankly at the miracle of the Phoenix clan that appeared again, subconsciously stepped forward, and reached out to the red light.

The call from the depths of the soul was stronger than ever before, his heart gradually became hot, and the scalding heat spread from the position where the Phoenix King's bone was, and the red light gradually covered his body.

First, his fingertips suddenly turned into a piece of golden red phoenix feathers, and then his palms stretched upward bit by bit. His arms gradually turned into feathers, and his body slowly rose into the air.

When the huge phoenix wings were fully stretched, the red light had completely enveloped Le Wuyan, and his body was floating in the air, not supported by spiritual power, but by instinct.

Le Wuyan closed his eyes, nothing remained in his mind, only the call from his homeland was calling him to go back.

"what--!"

The neck was folded back forcefully at that moment, and he let out a heart-piercing cry, his legs suddenly turned into dazzling and colorful tail feathers, followed by the torso, and then the neck.

The last is the head, the flame pattern on the forehead is shining brightly, as if it is about to burn.

Xu Youming's eyes followed him all the time, and the shadow that was as dazzling as fire was reflected in his deep eyes.

Le Wuyan completely transformed.

He had already spread his wings towards the night sky, and behind him, hundreds of blue luan birds followed him and went towards the red light.

Like covering the sky and closing the moon, the brilliance of the stars and the moon are all covered up.

The birds have crossed the cliff and are about to go away.

Xu Youming strode forward and shouted: "Qingque."

The phoenix king bird at the front suddenly stopped and looked back at him.

Those pitch-black phoenix eyes reflected the night fire, and the emotions in them could not be seen clearly.

Xu Youming's mind was blank, and he wanted to fly to catch up, but he held back.

Feng Wangniao nodded slightly, Xu Youming finally saw the reluctance hidden in his eyes.

After a short stay, the phoenix king bird flapped its wings, turned back without nostalgia, and led the group of birds behind him towards the sky.

When that ray of red light completely disappeared, the birds disappeared and the night tide returned to calm.

The night wind picked up on the mountain, blowing Xu Youming's robe.

He stood there, looking at the night sky, without moving.
