Chapter 4

It took only a moment for the mountain fire to go out, as if the sky and the earth were suddenly dark.

Open your eyes again, the phoenix bird carrying Hao Yin and Yuqiu stopped in the air, Houtu knelt down on the scorched ground in embarrassment. A low whine.

No one in the world remembers what Buzhou Mountain used to be like. The fire lasted for more than two thousand years.Now that the fire is extinguished, it is as if everything is silent, and the world is also a little darker.

But as far as the eye can see, apart from the heat that can't go away, there is no such thing as a mountain!

Hao Yin jumped off the Phoenix's back, and stood at a distance, waiting for Houtu to speak.

"Tianzun, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." Hou Tu sat up cross-legged, bowed his waist, and stared blankly at nowhere.

"You already knew that Zhu Rong couldn't come out, didn't you?"

"Yes." Hou Tu chuckled, and gently brushed the wings of the double-named bird with his palm.

"Then do you also know that Buzhou Mountain has long since disappeared in the world?"

Houtu turned around to look at Hao Yin, paused and turned back for a long time: "I don't know... Maybe the Samadhi fire burned down the whole mountain in 2000 years, or maybe it wasn't there 2000 years ago. Zhoushan has already disappeared from the world, and the burning mountain is only Zhu Rong's illusion."

"But now I know how much Zhu Rong hates me." Houtu suddenly burst out laughing and couldn't stop for a long time.

Yuqiu has recovered a lot and jumped down to stand beside Hao Yin.

Houtu seemed to have had enough of laughing, he staggered up, and walked towards Hao Yin with difficulty, while walking, he put his hand into his chest, and with a ruthless tug, he pulled out a clear five-colored stone from his body. "Tianzun, help me put out the fire, and I will give you the Nuwa Heavenly Stone, which I will honor to you."

Hao Yin took the colorful stone silently.

Houtu raised his head and looked at Yuqiu: "The multicolored stone gathers the spirit of heaven and earth, but it is still a stone after all. The rock will not move, but it is useless."

"Aren't you also concerned about this?" Hao Yin stared at Houtu, and he noticed that the stone was unusual from the moment he took over the five-colored stone.The Houtu should have planted all kinds of memories of the past into this stone, with the stone as the heart.Now that I take out this stone, I am afraid that Houtu will also become an unintentional soul.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Tianzun. But I am the consciousness of heaven and earth, and I have a spirit, but grass and trees have no heart." Hou Tu walked away step by step without looking back, "Since I gave the sky stone to Tianzun, all kinds of things will be together. Take it away, the past grievances, whether it is public or Zhu Rong, should not be remembered, it is too...too bitter."

Houtu called the Duanming bird and stroked his feathers. "Tianzun, can I ask you one more thing?"

"You said."

"Take the double-named bird to Fuying Mountain. He has a strong temper, and I'm afraid he won't be willing to be a mount for anyone anymore, so let him guard a side of the mountain and river for you, and have a safe place." It began to blur and gradually became invisible.It's just that the sky and the earth gradually became cooler, and the scorched earth began to become moist. When the last bit of heat faded away, a vast vitality was reborn in the sky and the earth.

Houtu Houtu, the spirit of the earth.

The fire was finally cleared up.Just like you don't remember me, I can't remember you anymore, finally clean and full of life.

Suddenly, there was a mournful cry between heaven and earth.A red figure flew up at high speed, and rushed to the ground at high speed.

Hao Yin didn't have time to stop it.

The bird with the same name crashed to death at the place where Houtu disappeared.

...He has a strong temper, and he is afraid that he will not be willing to be a mount for anyone anymore, so let him guard a side of the landscape for you, and have a safe place...
