The emperor read the story book in the memorial

That night, Li Jianyu leaned on Li Guanhui's shoulder and slowly fell asleep.He didn't sleep well, but Li Jianyu slept peacefully in the past few days.

Then, after drifting on the sea for two or three days, the big ship finally arrived at the island on the map.

It is rumored that ordinary people can't go to Fenghuangling, because they can't see the island after floating in the sea for a few days, unless there is a Phoenix on board.And even if they got there, ordinary people would not be able to break through the barrier without the permission of the phoenix, they would not be able to see anything, and they would still get lost in the dense forest.

In ancient times, people tried their best to capture the phoenix so that the phoenix could lead them.

From a distance, the island is full of greenery.

After the boat docked, Li Jianyu asked the team to guard the ice coffin on the boat, while he led Xinghuan and the others through the barrier on the beach and walked slowly along the narrow forest path.

The three phoenixes are hovering in the sky, perhaps because they are very excited because they are back home.The little phoenix in her arms bounced up and down even more.

Li Jianyu stood there, and when he closed his eyes, he could feel the abundant spiritual power and the long howling sound in his ears.

"Wow...!" Chongxi exclaimed, "This is a fairyland on earth."

After passing through the trail, a piece of golden yellow came into view.The towering trees in front of me seemed to be hundreds of years old, or even longer, so tall that the top could not be seen but not dense, so there was still enough space for the phoenix to spread its wings.

But the leaves of these trees are all golden, and under the refraction of the sun, the surrounding area will be golden and dazzling.

"Whoosh—"

A phoenix passed through the forest. It paused when it saw Li Jianyu and others, and then flew away quickly. It seemed that it was not used to outsiders, especially humans.

Apart from his own, this was the first time Li Jianyu saw other phoenixes on the island, and he was amazed in his heart.

I didn't expect that there are phoenixes in this world besides his family, and there are so many of them.

He can feel that there are many phoenixes on this island, but the island is too large and there are many hidden places, so he may not be able to meet them.

"City Lord, here." Dan Xi waved to Li Jianyu.

I saw a dilapidated stone tablet under one of the old trees on the side. The stone tablet was carved with dense curves and some words.

Dan Xi looked at it for a while, then shook his head at the ghostly symbols and said, "I don't understand."

"It's written in Phoenix." Li Jianyu knelt down in front of the stele, looked at it for a while and said, "This is a map, the map of the island...here!"

Li Jianyu pointed to one of the maps and said, "The Hall of Eternal Life is marked here, so it seems to be our destination."

The place marked on the map was in a cave on the mountainside. After finally reaching the destination, Li Jianyu and others were about to go in, but they were swept out by a gust of hot wind in the cave.

"what happened?"

Wan Yunliu pulled up Li Jianyu who had fallen to the ground, put his hand on the hilt of his waist and looked at the cave entrance in front of him warily.Xing Huan also held Dan Xi in one hand, and opened the fan with the other.

Looking in from the outside, I saw that the cave was completely dark, and there was a faint sound of rushing water, and it was hard to see where the strong wind came from.

"calm."

Li Jianyu held down Wan Yunliu's hand and turned his head, "Look, Dabao and the others didn't react at all. It's not an enemy inside, it's probably a phoenix."

"Maybe it's the territory of the phoenix, and it doesn't want us to break in."

Xing Huan said: "Then what should we do, it obviously doesn't want to negotiate with us."

Li Jianyu frowned and looked at the entrance of the cave.

"Try again." Li Jianyu snapped his fingers, let Dabao lower his body, climbed onto Dabao's back and said, "You guys wait outside."

Li Jianyu let Dabao fly in.

As soon as he entered, a sharp and long whistle resounded through the entire entrance of the cave.

Li Jianyu saw that there is a huge space in the cave, and there are many passages and small openings, which can be walked around like a palace in a cave.

In front of him was a huge phoenix with eyes as beautiful as black jewels.Different from Dabao and the others, this phoenix has a pair of eyes full of affection and tenderness that glow with water.

It looked like a person.

Li Jianyu was taken aback, but before he had time to say anything, the phoenix in front of him howled and swung a hurricane towards them with its wings.

Although the eyes are gentle and watery, but at the moment he seems to have a bad temper.

Li Jianyu sighed in his heart, retracted his body into Dabao's feathers, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Li Jianyu held Dabao, not intending to let his counterattack turn into a fight.

After Li Jianyu came out, Wan Yunliu went up to him and said, "How?"

Li Jianyu rubbed his buzzing ears and said, "Then Phoenix doesn't want us to go in, we have to think of another way."

"It's getting late, let's find a place to stay." Chongxi said with a smile, "This is the old nest of the phoenix. I saw many caves and shade along the way."

The island is very safe, and the rest of the phoenixes will not hurt them, but they are a little afraid, so Li Jianyu asked people to move the ice coffin up.The team rested in a big cave, and three phoenixes were entrenched on the branches of a big tree outside the cave.

Li Jianyu said that the cave was too cold, even if there was a fire, it was still cold, and there were other people inside, and he couldn't burn the whole cave with fire like the other Phoenixes, so he went outside and nestled in Dabao's arms with Phoenix sleep together.

"Where's the mayor?"

After nightfall, the island was silent. Xing Huan took Chongxi out to hunt, but found that there was no prey here. When he came back empty-handed, he saw that Li Jianyu was not there, so he asked casually.

Wan Yunliu wiped the sword beside the fire and said, "It's too cold here, he's sleeping with Fenghuang outside."

"The city lord is really different from us." Xing Huan smiled and sighed while sitting beside Wan Yunliu.

Wan Yunliu closed his eyes slightly.

Dan Xi shook his head and said: "This is a hurdle that the emperor and the city lord cannot cross."

"Jianyu is indeed different from us, but I don't think it's because of the cold that I sleep outside, but because I want to act alone." Wan Yunliu said with a wry smile: "I want to come to see Yu because I want to fight hard with that phoenix. The beast Our mortal bodies can't bear the fight between us, Jian Yu thinks that he is worried about us getting hurt, and intends to go out deliberately without telling us."

Xing Huan and Dan Xi looked at each other.

And what Wan Yunliu said was indeed correct, in the middle of the night, Li Jianyu woke up when everyone except the vigilant had fallen asleep.

Dabao noticed the movement of the person in his arms, and lazily raised his eyes to look at Li Jianyu.

Li Jianyu poked Dabao's stomach and said, "You guys wait here, don't follow."

Dabao shook his head dissatisfied.

"obedient."

Fenghuang was always obedient, although he was dissatisfied, he did not disobey his master's will, so Li Jianyu quietly jumped down from the tree and went to the Hall of Longevity alone.

XXXXXX

"Sha la... Sha la..."

Li Jianyu quietly slipped into the back of the Hall of Eternal Life, and the sound of rushing water was next to his ears.

Li Jianyu didn't want Fenghuang to notice, so he walked carefully and lightly, hiding his body between the stones and walking quickly.

Following the heat of the phoenix, Li Jianyu slowly approached the entrance of the cave where it was located.

The sound of running water is getting louder and louder, and it seems to be right next to my ears at this moment.

It's the sound of waterfalls.

Li Jianyu hid behind a boulder, and when he probed, he saw the phoenix resting on a stone bed not far away with his eyes closed, his wings seemed to be wrapped around something, and behind the stone bed was a clear and swift waterfall.

In the dark cave, a phoenix was sleeping in front of the water curtain. The golden light shining on its body contrasted with the water behind it. It looked very beautiful.

The one under Fenghuang... is the jade bed that is said to be able to invigorate the living and revitalize the blood, and bring the dead back to life?

Li Jianyu took a deep breath.

What should he do to get the jade bed without hurting Phoenix.

"Whoa--"

The boulder in front of him cracked, and Li Jianyu's thoughts were interrupted immediately. He saw that the phoenix had woken up, noticed Li Jianyu, and launched a strong attack on him.

Li Jianyu was worried that he would be injured, so he immediately turned into a phoenix and spread his wings to avoid the storm blade.

The two phoenixes rushed into the air and waved their wings trying to shoot each other down. For a while, the cave was covered with wind blades and heat waves.

"Boom—"

The stone wall was subjected to crazy impacts again and again, the whole cave was shaking, and the gravel kept falling.

Both phoenixes were worried about destroying the stone bed, so the phoenix rushed into the waterfall, and Li Jianyu naturally followed closely.

However, Li Jianyu made a mistake. This is the territory of that Phoenix, and that Phoenix didn't know how long he stayed here. Naturally, he knows the terrain here better than Li Jianyu.

After rushing into the waterfall, they were hit by the water flow, and the fire spirit power of the two phoenixes was greatly reduced by the water vapor. Li Jianyu tried to maintain his posture and wanted to find the traces of the phoenix, but he couldn't see anything except the white water. .

"Whoa--"

Finally, the phoenix suddenly flew out from one of the big rock crevices in the waterfall, with a wind blade, and flew Li Jianyu away with one wing.

Li Jianyu was beaten so dizzy that she was thrown out of the waterfall and fell heavily on the bank of the river.

The secret technique that hit Li Jianyu like this couldn't hold it anymore, and slowly changed back to human form.

Fenghuang took advantage of the victory and came in pursuit. Originally, he wanted to attack again, but he was taken aback when he saw Li Jianyu.

Li Jianyu thought to himself, thinking about Phoenix is ​​also very doubtful. After all, Phoenix is ​​usually cultivated from the body of a beast to lose its human form, so if the secret technique can't support it, if it is a human form, it will be beaten back to the animal form, but he is the opposite.

Li Jianyu curled up and kept exhaling and exhaling to adjust his breathing.

Although he wasn't injured, it was embarrassing to suddenly return to his human form.

Phoenix landed beside Li Jianyu, staring straight at him.

"I...cough..." Li Jianyu held his head defensively and said, "I didn't mean to hurt you! I just want to borrow this place. I really need it."

And then, the phoenix also turned into a human form.

Li Jianyu was taken aback.

The only one in the Phoenix Clan who can transform into a human form is not...

A slender and slender man slowly appeared in front of his eyes. The man was dressed in a white robe. Like Li Jianyu, he had smooth black waist-length hair. Although the long hair was wet by water, it fell down casually, but But very obedient.

But what shocked Li Jianyu was that the man looked exactly like himself.

The man approached Li Jianyu in a panic, holding the Li family's family heirloom jade pendant on Li Jianyu's waist to look at.

"Li Jian...Yu?"

Li Jianyu stared at the man with wide eyes.

"You..." Li Jianyu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

But then, the man withdrew his hand as quickly as lightning and thunder, turned his head and did not dare to open Li Jianyu, turned into a phoenix and flew away.

So the cave returned to tranquility, only the sound of rushing water.

Li Jianyu prostrated on the shore, staring blankly at the direction in which Phoenix flew away.
