Led by Fengniao, Fu Xiangfeng and the four of them arrived at Fengchao with difficulty.
"Brother Bird," Fu Xuanxing complained, "your body shape is different from ours. You can get through those traps, but we can't."
Fengniao broke in a few days ago. Taking advantage of his ability to fly and his small size, he forced his way in after activating various traps. But if it were Fu Xuanxing and the other four, they could only move forward as they watched each trap being set off.
When they arrived at Fengchao, the four of them were more or less injured.
The phoenix bird called twice, and the illusory golden clouds floated into the golden whirlpool.
"This...is this Phoenix Nest?"
About ten feet in diameter, dense golden light appeared from the air, intertwined in the vortex and rotated clockwise.
Faintly, a golden divine bird can be seen in the center of the whirlpool.
Fang Dongyuan secretly activated the "Hexiang Realm".
The barrier covers this space, sensing the Xingxiu Square in the distance and the Innate Bagua Formation outside the Water Mansion.
"That's right. This Phoenix Nest is in the same vein as the defense system built by the ancestors of the Fu family. No, this is the center of the entire system. The Bagua array outside absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it will eventually be accumulated here."
This was the first time for Fang Dongyuan to see the Phoenix Nest. He carefully walked around and observed the structure of the Phoenix Nest.
Because of the special nature of dragon veins, Fu Xuanxing felt very uncomfortable when he came to the area around Phoenix Nest. My body started to get angry unconsciously, so I had to withdraw temporarily.
Fu Xiangfeng had a conversation with Fengniao, and Hengshou quickly wrote a note and sent a message to Henghua.
…
Chaoyinzhai.
Henghua. The whistling fish built the ink pond.
Sensing the note in the Tai Chi Treasure Realm, Heng Hua made divination calculations, and then took the Shenluo Heavenly Book for divination. He frowned and murmured: "Third brother's fate is really not related to the Phoenix."
Phoenix!
Although the Fu family and Phoenix have a good relationship, the Fu family's "birdsong" is inherited from the Phoenix family. But in the past few hundred years, no one in the Fu family has been involved with Phoenix.
The third brother entered the realm of true fire, although he was helped by Phoenix Bird. But Fu Henghua knew that the phoenix was not a real phoenix, but just a spiritual bird that was evolving into a phoenix.
"Now that Fengniao and his third brother are reunited, it is indeed God's will."
…
Phoenix Nest.
As Fu Xiangfeng communicates with the phoenix bird, the phoenix nest undergoes new changes.
Uh-huh——
The clear cry of the sky sounded from the phoenix nest in the distance, and the golden light was like flames, and then turned into a big golden bird in a gust of wind.
He stood on the top of the phoenix nest, and immediately split into two, leaving the wind and fire aside.
Wind is the male bird and fire is the female bird.
A door appeared between the two, covering the spiritual bird in the phoenix nest.
Illuminated by the divine light of the phoenix, the bird inside made a shrill cry.
"The emergence has begun." Fu Xiangfeng stared at the phoenix nest and threw a few painkillers into it from time to time.
The wind phoenix and the fire phoenix chirped nine times at the same time, the door disappeared, and the two merged into one, turning into a golden divine bird and returning to the phoenix nest.
Hengshou recorded this scene and quickly sent the jade slip back to the Tai Chi Treasure World.
After seeing it, Fu Henghua pondered: "One is divided into two, and the male and female become one. That's right, there is no distinction between good and evil, yin and yang in the innate spirit. The phoenix is a male and female body, commanding the two qi of wind and fire."
A truly innate phoenix can separate the two images of wind phoenix and fire phoenix. Only the phoenix that emerges and transforms the day after tomorrow has its own gender.
"No, evolution may also change gender."
Hermaphroditic and gender-changing creatures abound in nature. When Henghua was a child, he caught earthworms, slugs and other organisms to study. I also tinkered with many monoecious plants.
There are not many shocking thoughts about this.
There are many precedents in nature for an organism to change from female to male, or from male to female as it grows.
Henghua was more concerned about the origin of the Phoenix clan than studying these minutiae.
Combined with the research of Canglan Yunhai and Lu Jiang's group.
Henghua has some realization:
The original phoenix should have been born from the two energies of wind and fire.
As time went by, the image of Phoenix spread among the world. Many acquired creatures transformed into innate phoenixes, gradually giving the phoenixes a gender.
The original phoenix then established the tradition that the phoenix is male and the phoenix is female. Phoenixes who are promoted the day after tomorrow can choose their own gender.
However, in addition to the two qi of wind and fire, the phoenixes gradually mastered the power of vitality such as wood and water, which also confused the original tradition of "phoenix is wind and phoenix is fire".
"No wonder there are many conflicting perceptions about phoenixes in the world. Phoenixes with the wind attribute also have female birds. Phoenixes born from the fire cave also have male birds."
Similar to the evolution of the human era, the Phoenix clan is also divided into the original era, the Yin and Yang era, and the Vientiane era.
With the changes of the times, the Phoenix family also evolved from being genderless at first, to being hermaphrodite, and finally to being dioecious.
In the current era of fire phoenix, ice phoenix, green luan, eagle, thunder phoenix... various phoenixes with different attributes, discussing gender is simply unnecessary trivial matter.
"That two-in-one phoenix should be the guardian bird of Fufeng Immortal Palace. It was formed by the wind and fire energy when the wind immortal traveled eastward. No wonder the legendary wind immortal is always accompanied by a pair of phoenixes when they fight. .”
The relationship is not that of a couple, but the incarnation of a phoenix?
After thinking about it, Fu Henghua wrote down his experience and sent it to the sea of clouds.
Jie Xian closed his eyes and concentrated, then suddenly opened his eyes to accept the "Bodhi" paper.
"Why don't you go into seclusion, and you are still tinkering with these things? Since you are so free, why not help Lu Jiang's group?"
"no."
Fu Henghua once again used the excuse of seclusion and continued to pay attention to Fengchao.
Jie Xian read his article and forwarded it to Lu Jiang and others, asking them to continue to calculate and examine the changes of the Phoenix clan.
…
In Shuifu, Hengshou received a note from Henghua.
Suddenly his shoulders sank, and then he saw a thumb-sized fairy in white standing on his shoulders.
Looking up, Fu Xiangfeng and the other three were unaware and were still observing the emergence of feathers in the phoenix nest.
Hengshou Divine Consciousness Transmission: Where is the young master?
I knew that Phoenix Nest was so mysterious, how could the young master miss it?
Xiaoyu pointed forward, and Wukong transformed into the size of a grain of rice and was looking outside the Phoenix Nest.
After turning around in a circle, Henghua thought to himself: It is not the big phoenix nest inherited from Fufeng Immortal Palace. This should be a phoenix nest built in the Secret Mansion by a certain Fu family ancestor.
Its purpose——
Resurrection of the dead?
Wukong turned to other areas of Shuifu to check.
Soon, he became aware of the life and plans of the master of color research, Fang Wanjin.
"So that's it? It seems that the phoenix bird that Third Brother knew didn't become a feather so easily."
At this time, Henghua heard Hengshou's footsteps.
Seeing Hengshou push the door open and enter the dormitory, he smiled and waved: "Look at this painting. This should be Fang Wanjin's last writing during his lifetime. You put it away and take it to Phoenix Nest. It will be useful later."
Hengshou looked at the painting on the table.
It was a phoenix painted with green, red, yellow, white and black paints.
"Just as a spiritual painter is involved in the art of color research, a color researcher is also involved in painting techniques. This painting contains the last essence of Senior Fang before his death. If I am not wrong, he deliberately dissolved his body when he died, and All my remaining essence is sealed into this painting."
Phoenix, with five colors in its feathers, is a metaphor for the five virtues.
For colorists, the multi-colored phoenix is the direction of their practice.
Xiaoyu was confused and stood on Hengshou's shoulder: "What's the point of doing this?"
Henghua: "On the one hand, he is leaving a legacy and looking for successors for the color research master line. On the other hand, he is also preparing for his own resurrection and reincarnation."
Obsessed with the remnant soul, he threw his last mana into the Phoenix Nest, and used the Yuan Dan he had reserved in the Phoenix Nest to revive him.
"This kind of resurrection method is different from the method of resurrecting the dead and returning the sun. It can be regarded as a complete new life."
After rebirth, Fang Wanjin is a phoenix.
"If he can retain his memory, he is still Fang Wanjin. If not, then he is a new life."
Whether you can maintain your memory is the key to distinguishing "who I am".
But from the perspective of a star spirit, after falling into the human world and traveling through thousands of generations, its true self remains the same.
The reincarnation journey of that life is just the scenery of one stop after another in the world.
From Fang Wanjin’s perspective. If he loses his memory in his new life, he will cease to exist. But judging from the star he symbolizes, the essence of the soul is the same. It's nothing more than sneaking to the next stop without going through the rotation of the stars.
Henghua asked Hengshou to put away the scroll and go back. After giving a few instructions, he led Xiaoyu to walk around this secret mansion.
…
Warble——
In the Phoenix Nest, a loud cry suddenly sounded. At the same time, a weak aura entangled with the Phoenix Fire aura of Fengniao himself.
Fu Xuanxing shouted: "No, a second life has appeared inside the phoenix nest. Is Brother Bird going to disintegrate and separate into male and female phoenixes?"
"No," Hengshou rushed back and followed the explanation given by Fu Henghua, "The power of Yuan Dan left by the master of the secret palace in the Phoenix Nest is activated and is shaping a new phoenix egg."
He unfolded the spiritual diagram in his hand.
Five-color brocade phoenix flies into the phoenix nest.
boom--
The spiritual energy of Shuifu continued to pour into Phoenix Nest from all directions.
The secret palace was all lit up at this moment.
Everyone could clearly see that there were more than ten kinds of colorful colors emerging from the dark blue walls on both sides.
Henghua and Xiaoyu came to the passage where everyone initially passed.
The passage also turned into an intertwined color of green, red, yellow, white and black, and streams of spiritual energy continued to gather towards the Phoenix Nest.
"Master, is this okay? Help Senior Fang reincarnate?"
"The phoenix nest can only be used once. That phoenix bird sneaked in and took advantage of Senior Fang's opportunity. If Senior Fang doesn't take the opportunity to run in, I'm afraid there will be no possibility of resurrection."
"But the current quarrel is most likely to hurt both sides."
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
