Ying Zheng never expected that the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand was made by the Ice Phoenix in front of him under the instruction of the Yellow Emperor's ancestors. What was even more unexpected was that the material for making the sword actually came from the Golden Crow's foot!
After being stunned for a long time, Ying Zheng came to his senses and asked in disbelief: "Senior Suzaku, are you saying that this holy sword is made of... the golden crow's feet?"
Suzaku nodded: "Yes, take it over and let me take a good look."
Ying Zheng respectfully placed Xuanyuan Sword in front of Suzaku.
Suzaku's eyes were burning, but there were light blue tears in his eyes. Then, a drop of hot tear slipped silently and fell on the golden sword body.
The sword suddenly trembled, followed by a noble and dazzling golden light.
Suzaku let out a low cry, and the Xuanyuan Sword actually made the same sound, as if responding excitedly.
Although he couldn't bear to destroy this tenderness, Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Senior, what was the situation like back then?"
Suzaku wiped away his tears with his wings, sighed, and said: "After the disaster of world destruction, although the mountains and seas overturned, it was not the most fatal. The most dangerous thing was the extremely unstable Shaoyang. .Looking at Jiuyou, only the Golden Crow can stabilize Shaoyang."
"So, the Dragon Emperor pardoned Jinwu, ordered him to perform meritorious service, and go to the Yin pole of Shaoyang to personally suppress the outbreak of Shaoyang."
Ying Zheng thought: It turns out that the non-luminous half of Shaoyang is called the cathode.
Suzaku sighed and said: "I was totally unwilling at that time. This is not a pardon, it is simply aggravating the punishment. How could Shaoyang just go there casually? What's more, it's still in such a dangerous situation."
"Even if the Golden Crow suppresses Shaoyang's ferocity, he will still have to endure the burning pain and suffering."
"But the Golden Crow insists on going. It says that once the Shaoyang explodes, the entire star will perish and the entire dragon clan will cease to exist. Rather than doing that, it is better to give up one of it in exchange for the peace of the entire clan."
"Although the truth is like this, I can't bear to let it go. I have been waiting for it to come back, but it has to be separated again, and it is going to the most dangerous place in the world."
"It saw that I was sad, so it left me the golden crow's feet that the gods had made for it before, and asked me to keep them as a thought. Whenever I think about it, I will look at these golden crow's feet."
At this point, Suzaku burst into tears, as if the sadness that he had suppressed for thousands of years finally broke through the cage in his heart, broke the ruthless shackles, and the emotions that had been accumulated for thousands of years were suddenly completely released.
Ying Zheng was even more affected by Zhuque's words, as if he were actually there. The tall and majestic figure of the Golden Crow appeared in front of him. He felt its courage and courage to bid farewell to danger, and felt Suzaku's heartbreak and powerlessness. pain of.
Jiu'er, who had listened to the story at first, now also looked sad and angry, and the feathers on his body were trembling slightly.
It is sad for what happened to Suzaku and Golden Crow, and also angry for the injustice in the world!
The inner nest was extremely quiet at this moment, with only slight breathing and the sound of tears falling. That sound seemed to tell the passage of time and the thoughts that accumulated more and more in the passage.
After a while, Jiu'er broke the peace in the inner nest: "Auntie, since nothing has happened to Shaoyang now, I guess Uncle Jinwu is also fine, right?"
"It's okay." Suzaku replied, "It's just that after it went to Shaoyang, the Dragon Emperor was afraid that it would become a heretic again, so he cast a spell to lock it in the cathode of Shaoyang. Until now, the Golden Crow is still confined there. , always suffering from the burning sin."
It is unimaginable that a body has been burned by the blazing Shaoyang for tens of thousands of years. Even if it has enough resistance, it cannot withstand the eternal and continuous torture.
Even if the physical pain is not that important, but leaving his wife for so long, which man in the world can do it?
Maybe the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can, but at least they can see each other once a year.
At this time, Ying Zheng had great admiration for Jinwu, no matter in terms of courage, magnanimity, mind, or structure.
At this time, Suzaku had wiped away his tears, stopped crying, and said to himself: "My real name is not Suzaku, but Zique. I rank third among the Phoenix clan and belong to the earth attribute."
"I heard at that time that the Golden Crow Feet left behind by the Golden Crow are artifacts made by the Gods. They can cut gold and jade, cut iron like mud, and can definitely cut off the shackles set by the Dragon Clan."
"So I asked the Fire Phoenix to give me some fire attributes so that I could get close to Shaoyang and rescue the Golden Crow with the Golden Crow's feet."
"The fire phoenix thought of the brother-sister relationship, so it gave me half of the source of fire power, so I became what I am now, with my upper body turning red and my lower body still purple-grey."
No wonder, Suzaku's body has two different colors, it turns out to be this reason.
Suzaku continued: "So I took the Golden Crow Foot to Shaoyang, but it was still difficult to withstand the high temperature. When I was thousands of feet away from him, I couldn't get even half a step closer."
"Looking at its hazy and lonely figure, my heart was like a knife. I think it must have had the same feeling when it saw me going to save it alone."
Speaking of this, Suzaku choked up again, as if he had returned to the scene when he saved Jinwu alone.
Jiu'er couldn't bear it to be sad any more, so she asked, "What happened next?"
"Later..." Suzaku changed his thoughts and said, "Later, I wanted to throw the Golden Crow Foot to him and let him save himself, but I was stopped by the Dragon Emperor who came over."
"The Dragon Emperor advised me to put the overall situation first. If Shaoyang is not restored, the Golden Crow will not be able to return. But how can I give in? I beg the Dragon Emperor to think of other ways."
"The Dragon Emperor saw how sad I was crying, so he promised me that once Shaoyang and Dragon Vein were completely repaired, he would immediately release Jinwu back to reunite with me. But I knew in my heart that this would never be that easy, so I refused to agree easily."
"The Dragon Emperor also explained that the chain it used to bind the Golden Crow was an artifact made by Hou Yi himself. Although the Golden Crow's feet are sharp, it is difficult to cut them off. It must be someone from the God Clan or Tian Cheng Yi. Only by using Pulse yourself can you cut off that chain."
Tiancheng lineage?
Personal use?
Ying Zheng's back felt numb, wasn't he talking about himself?
However, he did not interrupt Suzaku and listened to it continue: "Because it was difficult to stay there for too long, we all returned to Longtan Island, and after detailed discussions between the entire Dragon and Phoenix tribes, we finally came to an agreement. "
Ying Zheng asked with concern: "What do you mean?"
Suzaku shook his slightly messy feathers and said: "The Dragon Emperor said that both Shaoyang and Dragon Vein need to be completely repaired, and both require the power of the Third Eye, so we must wait until the Dragon Vein is completely repaired with the help of the Third Eye, and then we can solve it all at once. Shaoyang’s crisis, then we can only wait.”
Ying Zheng understood its meaning and asked: "Does that mean we need to wait for our Tiancheng lineage to solve the problem of dragon veins before we can completely solve Shaoyang's anomaly?"
Suzaku nodded: "And it also requires the power of Hou Yi's Sun-Chasing Bow."
"Sun-Chasing Bow?" Ying Zheng said in surprise, "This is not easy to do."
"Don't worry, Zhuri Gong is with the Dragon Emperor." Zhuque said, "Back then, the Beast Clan raided the God Clan and Hou Yi was captured. Later, the Dragon Clan released the hostages, but many artifacts remained."
Ying Zheng's heart was churning, and he asked: "Senior, what you mean is... if I really completely repair the Dragon Vein, I need to take the Xuanyuan Sword, retrieve the Sun-Chasing Bow, and then completely repair Shaoyang and rescue the Golden Crow, right?" ?"
Suzaku frowned: "Are you really sure that you can completely repair the dragon vein? I heard your master say before that the successor who appears again is the last one. I don't know if this is to comfort me."
It seems that repairing Shaoyang and rescuing the Golden Crow have become Suzaku's obsession. Ying Zheng nodded: "According to the progress Master said, the Dragon Vein will be completely repaired in my generation. That's why I came here to retrieve the blood of ancestor Fuxi so that I can use the Nine Cauldrons to refine the Third Eye."
"Also, I have prepared to build a Great Wall on the Dragon Vein so that it can be easily operated when the Dragon Vein is being repaired. When the Great Wall is repaired, it will be the day when the Dragon Vein begins to be completely repaired!"
Zhuque said dubiously: "It has been countless generations since Fuxi. Are you sure you can do it?"
Ying Zheng nodded firmly and said, "I'm sure."
"Okay, I believe you." After Suzaku said, he raised his head high, took a deep breath, and then tightened his belly.
When it lowered its head again, a dark yellow bead slightly larger than a fist was spit out from its mouth and landed on its wings.
"This is my condensed Earth Nirvana Bead."
Ying Zheng observed carefully with his eyes widened, and saw that the surface of the bead was very smooth, and there was a thick yellow fog floating slowly inside, wrapping a little light in the center.
Ever since he heard about the Nirvana Pearl from Yaizhen, Ying Zheng had been imagining what the pearl looked like, and now he finally got to see it.
He couldn't help but look at Jiu'er and asked, "Is your Ice Phoenix's Nirvana Pearl also like this?"
"They look similar, except that our clan is light blue." Jiu'er said.
Suzaku stretched out his wings, handed the Nirvana Pearl to him and said, "Put it away, it's yours."
After hearing what Suzaku said, Ying Zheng had already guessed its intention, so he carefully took the Nirvana Pearl and said respectfully: "Thank you, senior, for the gift of the pearl. I wonder what the senior wants from the junior in exchange?"
Suzaku's sharp eyes looked straight at Ying Zheng, and he said slowly: "I hope you...complete the repair of the dragon veins as soon as possible, and then help Jinwu completely solve Shaoyang's problem and bring it back to me around."
It was said with extraordinary sincerity, and the words were full of tenderness, mixed with longing and hope for the future, making people unable to bear to refuse.
"This junior should do his best." Ying Zheng said as he put away the Nirvana Pearl. "Senior, please rest assured, I will definitely fulfill my promise."
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news."
With the goal achieved, Ying Zheng bid farewell to Zhuque.
After leaving the door, Ying Zheng rode on Jiu'er's back, and one person and one bird said hello to Suzaku again, hovered into the sky, and flew back.
Looking at their backs, Suzaku's eyes were no longer so gloomy, and he seemed to have rekindled his love for life.
Just after flying far, Ying Zheng sighed: "Chief of the Suzaku clan, it has guarded the Golden Crow for tens of thousands of years. It is really rare."
"Yes." Jiu'er said, "Seeing it crying sadly, I was so moved that I almost cried with it."
"It seems that you are still young and do not have personal experience." Ying Zheng sighed, "If you also have a husband, you will definitely understand its sadness and helplessness more deeply."

"Tch, I'm still young?" Jiu'er retorted, "How old are you?"
Ying Zheng said: "I am twenty-seven years old this year."
"You doll." Jiu'er mocked disdainfully, "I'm over 700 years old, which one of us is younger?"
"This is incomparable." Ying Zheng was not to be outdone, "In our world, I am almost halfway through my life, and you are not yet ready to get married. With you, these magical birds who can live for tens of thousands of years. In comparison, our gray-haired old man is just a baby."
"There is no way. We, the Ice Phoenix clan, have special attributes, so we get married late." Jiu'er said, "Coupled with the relationship with the Nirvana Pearl, each of us has the opportunity to be reborn in Nirvana, and of course our lifespan will be longer. "
The debate between one person and one bird has long left the topic of talking about the eternal and sacred love between the Golden Crow and the Suzaku.
