The bonfire on the square was burning brightly, and the sacrificial ceremony dedicated to Fengyang Village kicked off. This is also the most anticipated time of year for everyone in Fengyang Village.

"It's really time for you to come, just in time for our Fengchao Festival." The middle-aged woman sitting on the side introduced with a smile, and handed Shi Xuan a piece of crystal clear candy.

Shi Xuan thanked it, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.This piece of candy is transparent in color and glows lustrously under the light of the campfire. It looks quite attractive and smells faintly fragrant.

Seeing that he didn't eat it, the woman continued, "I made it myself. You can try it? We have two children who have been greedy for my candy before."

"Oh, okay." Shi Xuan took a bite lightly, and immediately there was a sweet fragrance spread between his lips and teeth. After swallowing, he continued to ask: "Then, what about them now? Don't you like it?"

"It's not that I don't love it, but that I can't eat it anymore." The woman's eyebrows showed a bit of sadness, and when she spoke, she gently picked up a piece of candy and put it into her mouth, and the candy melted little by little in her mouth , she said slowly: "They will never come back again."

Shi Xuan was puzzled, exchanged glances with Yao Peizhou who was on the side, and then continued to ask: "Why?"

"It's fate, there is no reason, they should be like this." The woman's expression was as calm as water, and she looked calm, as if she was just mentioning a story about someone else's past, which had nothing to do with her.

Shi Xuan followed her line of sight, and what came into view was the tall phoenix statue in the center of the square. According to legend, the most noble divine bird in the world was about to fly, showing its noble and holy appearance to the world.

Sacred and inviolable.

Those eyes were crimson red, as if they had been burned by a raging fire, they were so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at their brilliance.The phoenix is ​​arrogant and cold by nature, he would rather bend than bend. Back then, he used his flesh and blood to spark the fire of Nirvana, which burned the whole world into an eye-catching crimson.

Although Shi Xuan did not personally experience these things, he knew a thing or two from others.

But now, it is reincarnated as Feng Yingque, and its temperament has changed drastically. It is completely different from before, but it makes Shi Xuan completely unable to imagine what the so-called "arrogant and cold flower of Gaoling" looks like.

"It should be like this? Why do you say that?" Shi Xuan asked: "Fengyang Village has guarded the reincarnation of the phoenix for generations, and it has been like this since birth. Could it be related to this?"

The woman's expression suddenly became a little flustered. Following Shi Xuan's question, the stirring spoon in her hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.She didn't dare to look into Shi Xuan's eyes, so she could only quickly lower her head and reply calmly: "No, it's not what you think."

"What is that like?" Shi Xuan asked her, and then without waiting for her to answer, she continued: "It's not that you can't go in and out of the outside world, and you can't communicate with the outside world, but you are not allowed to have contact with the outside world, right? "

"No, it's not allowed." The woman hurriedly explained, and she didn't care to pack the things at hand, she stood up and was about to flee the scene.

Shi Xuan wanted to stop her, but found that the speed of the other party was too fast. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the woman had already turned into a blue bird and flew away quickly, leaving only a feather dangling in circles and falling. It fell on Shi Xuan's hand.

"There must be a ghost in it." Shi Xuan pinched the feather and said thoughtfully.

Yao Peizhou asked him, "What do you think?"

"This Fengyang Village must not be as simple as we imagined. That little phoenix doesn't understand anything at first glance. It's a simple and stupid idiot." Shi Xuan explained, pointing to the towering tower not far away He built a tree house and continued: "The secret of this place is in the hands of that elder, but he will definitely not tell us easily."

"We have to take away Feng Yingque, this is the purpose of our trip." Yao Peizhou said, he reached out to wipe off the sugar stains left on the corners of Shi Xuan's mouth, and quite naturally brought the sugar on his fingertips to his lips to lick clean up.

The movement is smooth and skilled, and there is nothing wrong with it at all.

"Cough...!" Shi Xuan coughed lightly, trying to resolve his embarrassment, pretending to be calm and looking at the children who were running past laughing and playing all the way, and continued: "Then it depends on one's ability, That elder is not an easy-going lamp."

"At the very least, we have to find the crux of the matter first." Yao Peizhou spread his hands, forming a faint light in his palm, and a shadow of a person was reflected in the center of the light.

It was none other than Xuan Ting who had been missing all afternoon.

"..." Shi Xuan looked at Xuan Ting speechlessly, and couldn't help complaining to Yao Peizhou: "You really make the best use of everything."

However, they didn't discover any secrets. At least Xuan Ting, who sneaked in secretly, found nothing, did not bring out any useful information, and was almost discovered by the inspectors.

"There is a secret passage in the elder's room, which has been guarded all the time, and he can't get close at all." Xuan Ting's face was pale, and it seemed that he had put in some effort: "Every step you take, you can see the passage printed in the corridor. The enchantment is connected to the elder's room, and there are always people patrolling around."

"He said that after the sacrificial ceremony is over, he will agree with us to take away Feng Yingque. Is it true or is he prevaricating us?" Sheng Yao asked.

Xuan Ting shook his head and said, "That's not clear. The sacrificial ceremony will last for three days, and none of us will know what will happen during the three days."

"We won't be so unlucky, right?" Sheng Yao couldn't help but said, and at the same time he glanced at Yao Peizhou: "Aren't we once possessed by the European Emperor, why are we so unlucky like the disaster star came to the world?"

"Who knows, maybe the luck has come to an end." Xuan Ting said meaningfully with a smile on his face.

Only Shi Xuan remained silent from the beginning to the end, as if he was thinking about something and listening to their conversation, completely different from the usual him.

"What are you thinking?" Yao Peizhou asked him.

"Huh?" Shi Xuan looked up at him, his expression suddenly relaxed, he smiled at him, and then said: "I'm thinking about the woman I met at night, where are her two sons now? Woolen cloth?"

The other people looked puzzled, Sheng Yao asked on behalf of everyone: "What woman, what two sons?"

"It's not that the villagers here don't know the way in and out of the village. Why don't they ever go out?" Shi Xuan said. He dipped his hand in water and drew a straight path on the table. There was a meaningful light in his pupils, and he continued: "Whether everyone is unwilling to leave this paradise, or whether they are trapped here and cannot take half a step, I'm afraid it remains to be verified."

"We don't know this, so we can't take Fenghuang out of Fengyang Village." Yao Peizhou added.

"But I think that phoenix looks like a fool, it doesn't know anything at all, is it useful for Si Nian to follow him?" Sheng Yao asked him.

Yao Peizhou replied: "I don't know, let's follow."

Tan Sinian, who had no idea that he had become a "tool man", hid himself in the dark night, and followed Feng Yingque closely into a deep alley.Even though it was a dark alley with no lights, this little phoenix walked with ease, and soon turned into a deeper corridor.

"Shaoying——" Feng Yingque yelled in a low voice, taking out a small candle from his pocket and lighting it while yelling.

The only response to him was the sound of the wind in the distance, and the movement of him accidentally kicking a stone.Tan Sinian saw that his figure stopped obviously, showing a bit of timidity, full of fear and uneasiness towards the darkness in front of him.

"It's weird, where are you?" Feng Yingque murmured in a low voice, as if this could give him the courage to continue walking forward, and said as he walked: "Feng Shaoying, are you lazy again, the high priest punished you Facing the wall, if he finds out that you have run away again, he will definitely not be able to spare you! At that time...don't blame me for not being loyal and not pleading for you..."

The further he went in, the faster his heart beat, as if he had foreseen that there was an unknown fear ahead that was waiting for him to discover, his voice became more and more urgent, and the pitch became higher and higher. As it shook, the dripping wax spread a cloud of milky white on the ground.

If he looked carefully, he would find that there was a smear of blood-like red hidden under the pool of milky white wax.

"Shaoying? Shaoying?" Feng Yingque repeated tentatively over and over again, but the only response to him was the howling wind and his own heavier breathing.

Tan Sinian, who was following behind him, suddenly stopped in his tracks, and quickly cast his eyes on the narrow path that Feng Yingque was about to step into. At that moment, he caught a trace of an unusual smell.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, he immediately stretched out his hand to grab the young man in front of him, and quickly retreated before he could react, and both of them fell to the ground.

whoosh-

A beam of arrows passed by Tan Sinian's shoulder, and landed firmly on the stone wall behind him. The gravel rolled down, and a fairly solid hole was pierced in the stone wall.

"You..." Feng Yingque looked back at Tan Sinian, panic was hidden in those watery eyes, like a frightened deer.

Tan Sinian made a silent gesture: "Shhh—"

Following his line of sight, a black shadow enveloped the path in the distance, it moved forward slowly, and everywhere it went was swept away like a wind and clouds.Feng Yingque stared dumbfounded at the center of the black shadow, with disbelief in his eyes.

The person in the center of the black shadow was none other than Feng Shaoying who had just parted with him in the square at night.

The youth who used to be a high-spirited boy was tied up in the center of the shadow, dying, his body was covered with cuts and bruises, and his face was blood-stained, so pale that it was bloodless.His mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something, but it was just a weak mouth shape that couldn't be seen at all.

"Shaoying, Shaoying!!" Feng Yingque didn't care about being afraid anymore, and wanted to jump up like crazy, but was held tightly by Tan Sinian and couldn't move forward.Feng Yingque looked back at him with a very impatient expression: "Let go of me! You strange stranger!"

"Don't go!" Tan Sinian couldn't help him struggle at all, restraining him with his own divine power, pulling him back.

"You let go! You let go!!!" Feng Yingque completely lost his mind, his heart and eyes were filled with the scarred Feng Shaoying at the moment, and he bit Tan Sinian's arm while struggling.The canine teeth were embedded in Tan Sinian's forearm, and blood dripped along Tan Sinian's arm accompanied by a sharp pain.

"Hiss..." Tan Sinian gasped, his brows furrowed, but he still refused to let go, and he slapped the biting little phoenix on the back of the neck, knocking him out on the spot past.

He raised his head and glanced at the black shadow, with something meaningful in his eyes - Feng Shaoying, who was originally in the center of the shadow, disappeared, as if he had never appeared before.
