In the realm of Nine Netherworlds, the spiritual energy is rich, the warm wind is gentle, and the light is soft.
A red fire cloud and two blue ice masses met in the air, but no sparks were created. Instead, they lingered for a week and landed on the ground.
Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the back of the Ice Phoenix Clan Leader, took a closer look at it. What a fire phoenix!
The crown is like a fiery fire dancing in the wind, and the gaze is like a torch that scares the soul.
The red beak is like a blade in fire, and the wings are plump and streamlined.
If you don't look at the color, there really isn't much difference in appearance between the fire phoenix and the ice phoenix. It's just that the fire phoenix is obviously larger than the ice phoenix.
The red fire phoenix shows its supreme majesty, making people have the urge to worship.
The snow-white Ice Phoenix is pure and pure, noble and elegant, making people feel as if their soul is being cleansed all the time.
"Why did you bring so many humans?" Huofeng said solemnly.
The leader of the Ice Phoenix Clan said: "The person who allows me to bring him is definitely not a mortal. You must have guessed it a long time ago."
Huofeng looked at Ying Zheng, puffed out his chest and said, "Are you the successor of Tiancheng?"
Ying Zheng cupped his hands and said: "Junior Ying Zheng is the direct bloodline of the Yellow Emperor. Now he has been selected by Master Ji Fa as the successor of Tianhe. This Xuanyuan Sword is the proof."
After saying that, he took the Xuanyuan Sword out of its scabbard and held it up with both hands.
Just like when he met the Ice Phoenix before, the sword trembled slightly and then emitted a faint golden light.
"Come with me." Without any unnecessary words, Huo Feng leaped into the air, flapped his wings, and ran back to Huo Fengling.
The Ice Phoenix Clan Leader and Jiu'er also followed.
Hu Yu, who was on Jiu'er's back, looked back at Wu Chan behind him and said in a low voice: "This time I really opened my eyes."
Wu Chan smiled and nodded.
That's a phoenix!
According to legend, the existence is second only to the dragon!
Not long after, Huo Fengling appeared at their feet.
This is a fiery red mountain.
The red soil, red trees, blood-colored stones, and even the air seemed to be infected with red.
Fortunately, none of Ying Zheng's three people suffered from fainting, otherwise they would not have dared to open their eyes.
"Everything in this mountain is of the fire attribute, so the colors are a bit uniform." The leader of the Ice Phoenix clan explained, then he retracted his wings and landed in an open space on the top of the mountain.
Jiu'er, who had always been lively, calmed down a lot when he saw his father. After putting down the two women, he said to Huofeng: "Father, I brought Xiao Shi here."
Upon hearing this, Huofeng finally put away his arrogant majesty and his tone became much gentler: "Bring it here and let me take a look."
Jiuer used his wings to hold his sister and came to Huofeng's side.
"Well, it's quite strong." Huo Feng said happily, "It takes hundreds of years to get such a little guy, so you have to take good care of it."
Xiao Shi blinked and shouted at Huofeng a few times. He didn't know whether he recognized his father or was demonstrating to him.
Huofeng took Xiao Shi from Jiuer's hand, but saw that the little guy instantly became quiet and looked at Huofeng longingly.
Huofeng turned around and said, "I'm going to feed it some bile and will be back soon."
After that, he walked towards the inner nest.
Feed bile?
Ying Zheng froze in place after hearing this.
The leader of the Ice Phoenix clan said: "The bile of the fire phoenix is a spiritual thing. Every member of the Phoenix clan must drink the bile of the fire phoenix when they are in their infancy, in order to have the status of a divine bird."
"Isn't that similar to the effect of Xuanwu Fruit?" Ying Zheng asked.
"It's not the same," said the leader of the Ice Phoenix Clan, "The bile of the Fire Phoenix is exclusive to our Phoenix Clan, and other birds and beasts won't be of much use if they drink it."
Without the oppressive feeling brought by the fire phoenix, Wu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She tugged on the corner of Ying Zheng's clothes and asked in a low voice: "We have been on the road a long way, are you hungry?"
Ying Zheng was really hungry, but he couldn't bear to eat by himself, so he looked at Jiu'er and said, "Would you like some grilled fish?"
Jiuer nodded.
Wu Chan and Hu Yu took out the grilled fish prepared last night and ate it with Ying Zheng and Jiu'er.
The little Nian beast also ate and drank together.
Not long after, Huofeng came back with Xiao Shi.
The leader of the Ice Phoenix Clan put Xiao Shi back into the white bird's nest to ensure that it could stay at a temperature suitable for him.
Huofeng looked at Ying Zheng and the others and said, "I haven't smelled the smell of grilled fish for a long time. Is your master okay?"
Ying Zheng smiled and asked, "Has my master grilled fish for your seniors?"
Huofeng smiled and said, "I still need him to grill it, but the last time he came here, he asked me for a lot of fish. Of course, Fuxi was the first to grill fish in Jiuyou."
This is correct. Fuxi stayed in Jiuyou for a long time. In order to piece together the map of mountains and seas, he even wrote his travels into the "Book of Mountains and Seas". What did he eat during such a long time?
Apart from grilled fish, there was nothing else.
After chatting for a while, the atmosphere relaxed, and then Ying Zheng explained his purpose.
"Are you saying that you want to hand over the "Dragon Searching Canon" written by Fu Xi back then to the Dragon Emperor?" Huo Feng asked.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "The last time I heard Senior Ice Phoenix mention it in the Ice and Snow Region, I went back to King Wu's Mausoleum to search, and sure enough I found the classic book in Taigong's secret room."
Huo Feng frowned and said, "What do you mean, do you want to use this Dragon Search Code to exchange for Hou Yi's Sun-Chasing Bow and release the Golden Crow?"
"Although rescuing Senior Golden Crow is a thing of the past, it is still a must-do, because I have promised Senior Suzaku that I will use this Xuanyuan Sword made of the Golden Crow's feet to cut off the chains that imprison the Golden Crow." Ying Zheng replied.
Huofeng nodded and sighed: "Rescuing the Golden Crow has always been my long-cherished wish. Without it, maybe I would be the one living in Shaoyang now."
This is true. Suzaku also said that the Fire Phoenix was closer to the fire attribute, so he could go to repair Shaoyang. However, the Dragon Emperor wanted to punish the Golden Crow at that time, so he made that decision.
If you want to save the Golden Crow, you must keep Shaoyang in an extremely stable state. This requires completely repairing the dragon veins first. In this way, the magma in the formation can stably supply energy to Shaoyang, and it will not cause energy fluctuations.
"I have already started to repair the dragon veins." Ying Zheng said, "The site selection for the Great Wall has been completed, the roads are being built, and the trees have been cut down."
Huofeng asked: "If the Great Wall is built, will you start to repair the dragon veins in all aspects?"
"Exactly," Ying Zheng said, "In order to speed up the progress, this time I came to Senior Ice Phoenix specifically to ask for more Ice Gu seed insects to build more dense stones."
"How many years will it take to build the Great Wall?" Huo Feng asked again.
Ying Zheng made a total calculation and replied: "According to the current plan, it will take about ten years."
Huo Feng said: "Is it easy to repair the dragon veins after building the Great Wall?"
Ying Zheng said: "That's the truth, but neither Master nor I have fully operated it, so we want to ask the Gods for help, but we don't know how to contact the Gods."
Speaking of the Gods, a golden-red feather behind Huofeng's head suddenly moved.
"If you want to ask the gods to come over for help, I can help you think of a way." Huo Feng said.
This was what Ying Zheng was waiting for, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior."
"As for your desire to see the Dragon Emperor, I will tell it." Fire Phoenix's voice was a little low, "But it is very likely that you can only talk to it, but not see its true form."
Ying Zheng didn't think much about it, after all, as long as he could see the Dragon Emperor, it would be a good thing.
"As for asking for the Sun-Chasing Bow, I'm not sure you can succeed." Huo Feng said, "But I will definitely try my best to rescue the Golden Crow."
"Okay, then let's work together to rescue the Golden Crow." Ying Zheng said, "The junior came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts for the senior. It's really offensive."
Wu Chan said from the side: "I heard that there is a stone statue of Senior Jinwu in Senior Zhuque's inner nest. Our Jingjue Guidong tribe are experts at playing with stones. If Senior agrees, how about we build a stone statue for you when we go back and send it over? ?”
When Huofeng heard this, he laughed happily: "That's good, that's good. It's just that such a big stone statue is inconvenient to transport, so let's forget it."
Ying Zheng said: "It's easy to say. We can prepare the stones and transport them here, and then build them here and keep them exactly like you."
Huofeng looked at Ice Phoenix and raised his voice: "If you want to build one, just build two. Ice Phoenix and I will have one each."
The leader of the Ice Phoenix Clan knew that it was trying to please him, but he didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
Jiu'er couldn't sit still anymore and asked, "I want it too, is it my share?"
The leader of the Ice Phoenix clan glared at it and said angrily: "I just want to join in the fun."
Hu Yu said: "I'm not good at building stones, but it's not a big problem to make a wooden statue for Jiu'er."
Jiuer thanked him gratefully: "Then it's settled, hehe."
Being in an environment full of red can easily cause discomfort, not to mention that when facing the fire phoenix, he always suffered from a sense of oppression. Seeing that Ying Zheng had said what he should say, he handed it over and left.
Huofeng looked at their departing figures, his eyes seemed thoughtful.
The Ice Phoenix mother and daughter carried three people and one beast back to the Ice and Snow Territory.
After leaving the scope of Huo Fengling, the sense of oppression that Ying Zheng felt was relieved.
He turned to look at the two women on Jiu'er's back, and they seemed to be relieved.
"Senior Ice Phoenix, why do I always feel depressed when I'm in Huo Fengling?" Ying Zheng leaned down and asked, "Is it because I'm not used to the red mountains?"
"It has something to do with it," said the leader of the Ice Phoenix Clan, "but the point is that when the Fire Phoenix saw us coming, it suppressed the temperature of the Fire Fengling Ridge, and this suppression is the reason why you feel uncomfortable."
Only then did Ying Zheng suddenly realize: "So that's it. If you think about it, the temperature in Huo Fengling in normal times must be much higher than it is now."
"Of course." The leader of the Ice Phoenix Clan said, "Everyone knows that the Fire Phoenix Ridge is actually a flame ridge, just like my Ice Snow Region, it belongs to the two extremes of water and fire."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Senior, although it's colder there, it's still bearable. If Huo Fengling is really as hot as fire, no one will dare to approach it."
"That's why it's safe." The Ice Phoenix Clan leader said, "But it's actually not as hot as flames. It's about the same temperature as boiling water."
Ying Zheng: "..."
Returning to the Ice and Snowy Territory, Ying Zheng grilled some fish for Jiu'er, then took the Ice Gu seed insects and said goodbye to the Ice Phoenix Clan leader.
It was unclear where Nian Qi had hidden, so he had to ask Jiu'er to lead a few people to find it.
We found Twenty-Seven, but it was getting late.
"Are you going back overnight, or are you going to rest for a night before leaving?" Twenty-seven asked.
Ying Zheng originally wanted to rush back all night, but Hu Yu said before him: "It's been a busy day, so let's take a rest. If I stay up all night and rush back, I will definitely faint."
Wu Chan also followed up and said: "Yes, let's enjoy the scenery of Jiuyou more. It is also close to the Bingji Snowy Area, so there won't be any danger."
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement.
"When you leave, it's up to you." Twenty-seven looked at Ying Zheng and said, "But should you pay for the travel expenses this time?"
here we go again.
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at it and said angrily: "The benefits I promised you before are enough for ten or twenty years of travel expenses. Why are you still so greedy?"
Twenty-seven also rolled his eyes at him: "You just said that our three tribes should be included in the twelve zodiac signs, but I didn't see any movement from you. I won't do the painting."
"My original idea was to wait until the world is unified before announcing this matter." Ying Zheng said, "Since you can't wait any longer, let's take next year as the beginning of the Chinese zodiac."
"That's about the same." Twenty-seven muttered, "Forget about the travel expenses this time, but you have to grill some fish for me."
"That's no problem." Hu Yu took out a grilled fish from the package and handed it to Twenty-Seven.
Just one thing, really stingy.
