Qingshi followed the direction pointed by Fenghuang and saw an island far ahead on the sea. The island was roughly in the shape of a long strip. A mountain range nearly a thousand feet high stretched from east to west. The north side of the mountain range was steeper, and at the foot of the mountain was the sea. To the south is a large area of gentle slopes and plains.
The entire island is lush and lush with vegetation, and most of the peaks are steep and beautiful. There are no fewer than dozens of rivers, waterfalls and streams originating from them, all of which wind southward and flow into the sea. Along the way, dozens of large and small mountains are formed. Lakes of different shapes. On the plains, you can see acres of farmland, pastures, towns, and villages, dotted among the green mountains and green waters.
Qingshi's visual inspection showed that the entire island is about two hundred miles long from east to west and about fifty to sixty miles wide from north to south. In terms of area, it is thousands of miles in diameter.
The Garuda accelerated its speed, lowered its altitude, and soon flew within the island, flying from west to east along the south side of the mountain range. Soon, under the main peak of the mountain range ahead, in a gentle forest, a group of buildings appeared half-hidden among the tall trees. These buildings were tall and exquisite. Although they were magnificent, they did not appear obtrusive. They coexisted harmoniously with the rocks and trees, and complemented each other. .
"We're here," said the Wind Emperor, "come with me!"
After speaking, Fenghuang lightly stepped off the bird's back and flew towards the building.
Qing Duan and Chen also jumped down together and followed Feng Huang. There was enough spiritual energy on the island, and all three of them could use armor to fly.
The golden-billed bird chirped, fluttered its wings and turned around to fly towards the west. The Wind Emperor ignored it and let it go.
A few breaths later, Feng Huang and the three of them landed in front of a palace door. A large group of gorgeously dressed servants came forward to say hello.
Fenghuang called the two stewards and said, "Aguang, Ayuan, these three young masters are my distinguished guests. Please serve them with all your heart, so don't neglect them."
The two agreed together.
Fenghuang turned to Qing Duan and Chen and said, "As for the situation of A Kun and his grandmother, I need to go over and have a look, and I will give you news later. Don't be impatient, stay here for now, no matter what you need, You can talk to A Guang and A Yuan and they will make arrangements."
Qing Duan and Chen agreed, and after a few more pleasantries, they resigned to Feng Huang and followed A Guang to another two-story building and settled there.
Qing Duan and Chen stayed there for three days. Since they had to wait for news from the Feng Emperor, they did not dare to go too far, so they only played around the Feng Emperor Palace and spent most of their time practicing every day. Qingshi even climbs to the top of the mountain every morning to watch the sun rise and set over the sea, and the clouds roll and relax, and experience the ethereal and unpredictable artistic conception of wind, so as to understand the mystery of the way of wind.
A Guang is a human being, a monk in the middle stage of the Qi Gathering Realm. His martial arts training is very low, but he is quite capable in doing things. Qingshi learned a lot about Fenghuang Island from his mouth. He knew that this was the only island inhabited by humans in the Qizhahai Sea. There were about 100,000 people on the island, most of whom were engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, but no one was engaged in it. fisheries. People on this island are not allowed to leave at sea under any circumstances, but from time to time some sea refugees are rescued by Feng Huang or her men and come to the island.
Qingshi felt that this island was very mysterious and wanted to find out more details, but Aguang didn't know much and couldn't say much. He only said that the current situation has been going on for hundreds of years. If you want to know the wind For the history of Imperial Island, you can only ask Feng Huang. Qingshi had no choice but to give up.
At noon on the fourth day, Feng Huang came back and immediately summoned Qing Duan and Chen in the Golden Lotus Hall.
"I have good news and bad news," Feng Huang said with a smile, "Which one do you want to hear?"
"Then let's listen to the bad ones first!" Qingshi said.
"The bad news is that A'kun is still very sad and he won't forgive you!" Feng Huang frowned slightly and said, "He did go to his grandma, and his grandma also promised to help him get revenge!"
"Uh...Okay!" Qingshi said helplessly, "Then what's the good news?"
"The good news is that you can live here with peace of mind!" Fenghuang said, "Akun already knows that you have arrived at Fenghuang Island, but he and his grandma will still abide by the agreement they made with me before and not step into Fenghuang Island. Half a step away from Fenghuang Island. So, you don’t have to worry about them coming to the island to catch you. As long as you don’t leave Fenghuang Island, they will have nothing to do with you. You can stay here as long as you want!”
"This..." Duan Wutian said angrily, "This doesn't seem to be good news!"
"I'm sorry," Feng Huang said, "I can't convince them. A'kun is still angry now. Maybe he will be fine after a while."
"Thank you, His Majesty the Wind Emperor!" Qingshi said, "It seems that this is all we can do now."
"Yes!" Feng Huang said with a smile, "Actually, A'kun's grandma was very happy to know that the mermaid goblin was dead. She found a good girl to accompany A'kun yesterday, hoping that he would forget about the mermaid goblin. As a result, A Kun drove them away.
"Alas! This child A'Kun has no father and is spoiled rotten by his grandma and me. He is very angry and I don't know when he will calm down!"
"No father?" Qingshi was stunned.
"What's so strange about this," Feng Huang said, "women of our Longkun clan can give birth to offspring by themselves without mating. In extreme cases, men can also change into women to maintain the continuation of the race. Otherwise, we The number of them is extremely rare, wouldn’t they have become extinct long ago?”
"Oh, that's it." Qingshi said, "I believe Akun will cheer up soon!"
Long Kun is not the only spirit beast that can reproduce asexually. For example, a hell bat demon Qingshi encountered before also had this ability. Therefore, Qingshi is not too surprised! It's just that this breeding method is not common. It usually occurs in extremely helpless situations. I don't know why the Feng Emperor chose this method. Of course, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Yes! It will definitely happen." Feng Huang said happily, "No matter what, this is a good thing after all. This child has been deceived by the goblin over the years, and I don't know how many people have been killed with her help. What a crime! You have done a great thing, and I have to thank you so much! By the way, do you have any treasures you want?"
"Of course I want the baby," Chen Tianye said sadly, "but if you are stuck here all the time, no matter how many babies you have, it will be of no use!"
"Don't be discouraged!" Qingshi patted Chen Tianye on the shoulder and said with a smile, "There will always be a way."
"That's right!" Duan Wutian also figured it out and said, "Don't worry. Fenghuang Island is like a fairyland on earth, more beautiful than the islands we have been to before. We might as well stay for a while longer!"
"That's right!" Feng Huang also smiled and said, "Well, I'll prepare some good things and bring them to you in a few days. If you have anything special you can tell me and I will try my best to satisfy you. Don't Sorry, don’t use it for free, haha..."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!" Qingshi said with a smile, "We don't dare to ask for anything! But we are disrespectful for His Majesty Fenghuang's gift! So I would like to thank Your Majesty in advance. By the way, I want to know the history of Fenghuang Island Origin, I wonder if your majesty can tell us briefly?"
"Well...sigh!" Feng Huang suppressed his smile and said after thinking for a while, "It's okay to tell you, but this matter is sad to say, and it involves me and my relatives, so I don't want to I’m willing to tell you about it myself... let’s do this, I’ll ask Jing’er to take you to meet someone and see if he’s willing to tell you.”
...
Jing'er is the maid of the Wind Emperor, and she is also a great demon that has transformed into a human form. The specific spiritual beast that transformed into a demon is unknown. Qingshi has come into contact with many monsters and beasts, and he has roughly summarized a rule, that is, monsters take the form of human beings. Most of the men have clumsy and weird appearances, but if they are women, they must be beautiful.
This Jing'er is naturally super beautiful, and she is also smart. Her eyes are lively and hopeful, making people fall in love immediately upon seeing her.
The four of them flew to the southwest on a golden-billed bird to meet the person Feng Huang mentioned. Jing'er stood in front, Qing Duan and Chen stood behind her. Seeing her graceful figure swaying and her clothes fluttering, the three of them couldn't help but feel distracted.
Chen Tianye is very charming and suave, pointing out the country and scolding Fang Qiu; inspiring words and witty words. He tried his best to win the beauty's favor, but Jing'er didn't like him at all. She sneered at his boastful horse racing and rolled her eyes.
What Chen Tianye didn't expect was that Duan Wutian, a big silly guy, looked cute and cute in Jing'er's eyes. When she heard him say silly things from time to time, Jing'er would cover her mouth and laugh a few times, looking at him. Very gentle.
Duan Wutian was flattered, his face was red, his heart was pounding, he was at a loss, and his words seemed even more 'silly'. As a result, Jing'er became even more gentle towards him.
Chen Tianye was first frustrated, then surprised, then jealous, but finally he smiled at Qingshi and pushed Duan Wutian two steps forward so that he and Jing'er stood side by side.
Half an hour passed quickly while talking and laughing while flying. Jing'er suddenly whistled a few times, and the golden-billed bird swooped down.
Qingshi looked down and saw a lonely farmhouse with a stone wall and a thatched roof at the foot of a small hill. In front of the courtyard was a small lake with clear water, and behind the courtyard was a small lake. A tall liquidambar tree with lush branches and leaves almost covers the entire yard.
Jing'er said: "We're here!" Then she flew down to the stone road outside the small courtyard. Qing Duan and Chen followed them down, while the golden-billed bird circled and flew away.
Jing'er asked Qing Duan, Chen and the others to wait where they were, and walked along the stone road to the outside of the fence gate.
"Boss Zeng!" Jing'er called into the small courtyard, "Are you at home?"
In the small courtyard, a wooden door in the west wing opened with a creak, and an ordinary-looking old man wearing coarse clothes came out and said with a smile: "It's Jing'er! Haha, why did you think of coming to my place?" Coming?"
"I'm here to see you!" Jing'er said with a smile, "I brought a few kids with me."
"Oh!" The old man looked at Qing Duan and Chen behind Jing'er and said, "Is this another ship that sank in distress? It's been ten years since the last time. How many survivors did you save this time? Who is that?"
"I didn't save them," Jing'er said with a smile, "These three people were sent to the island by Empress Feng Huang herself."
"They were saved by the Wind Emperor!" the old man said, "That doesn't make any difference. What's your purpose of bringing them here? I always like peace and quiet, and these shabby huts can't accommodate so many people."
"Hey! You old weirdo!" Jing'er said angrily, "Who wants to come and stay at your place? They are the distinguished guests of the Feng Emperor, and the Empress has personally arranged for them to live in the palace!"
"Oh?" The old man was stunned and said, "It's not a shame! Then why are you here in my poor yard?"
"They want to know the history of Fenghuang Island," Jing'er said. "Empress Fenghuang doesn't want to hide it from them, but she doesn't want to talk about it herself, so she asked me to send them to you. I think she wants you to Tell them about the past of Fenghuang Island!"
"This..." the old man frowned and said, "The Feng Emperor doesn't want to speak for himself, so why don't we just let you do it? Why are you looking for someone like me who is buried up to his neck in dirt?"
"Oh!" Jing'er said, "Of course Empress Feng Huang has her own intentions! Will you agree or not?"
"Give me a reason!" said the old man.
"Okay!" Jing'er pursed her lips and said with a smile, "They killed that mermaid goblin Ami!"
"Ah?" The old man suddenly straightened his back, looked at Qingshi and the others with a flash of light in his eyes, and said, "This is impossible! Although these boys are very talented, their current level of cultivation is not as good as In the Golden Core Realm, can they kill Ami, a thousand-year-old fairy? Impossible...what? Is that mermaid fairy really dead?"
"Dead!" Jing'er laughed, "And this kid killed it with his own hands!"
Jing'er waved to Qingshi, and Qingshi had no choice but to walk over, bow to the old man and say hello: "Qingshi, I'd like to pay my respects to Senior Zeng!"
The old man looked at the bluestone up and down and praised: "Not bad! He is gifted and blessed with luck! I am not as good as you at your age. Did you really kill that mermaid goblin? Did you use some magic weapon? !”
"I used a magic weapon!" Qingshi said neither humble nor arrogantly, "But if I put this magic weapon in someone else's hands, it may not be able to kill her!"
"Yes!" The old man nodded, "Very good. It seems that I have underestimated you! However, this reason is not sufficient."
"I have another reason!" Qingshi suddenly said, "A reason that will definitely make you agree!"
"What's the reason?" the old man asked.
"First of all, please ask the senior to answer a question from the junior," Qingshi said, "How many years have you been coming to Fenghuang Island?"
"Five hundred years!" said the old man, "What's going on?"
"Then... senior, tell us about the old stories of Fenghuang Island," Qingshi said with a smile, "I will tell senior about the fate of the country and the ups and downs of the world in Tianlong Continent in the past five hundred years! How about that?"
"Ah!" The old man opened his eyes wide and shouted excitedly, "You...are you from Tianlong Continent?"
"Exactly!" Qingshi said with a smile, "Looking at the Feng Shui pattern and architectural shape of the old senior's residence, I knew that you must be from the Tianlong Continent. Am I right?"
"That's right!" The old man opened the fence door and said excitedly, "Three little friends, please come in quickly! Hahaha... I am dying, and my biggest wish is to know the situation in my hometown. It’s been five hundred years, it’s been five hundred years! I originally thought that I was alone and would not care about my hometown, but I didn’t expect that as time goes by, I miss my hometown more and more... Come on, come on, come in quickly hahaha ..."
