I just like the Prime Minister

Chicken soup... Oh no, Phoenix, looking down at the two people who came forward, the flames all over his body tended to calm down, but he was like a fierce god who hadn't lost his weapon. Asura Sea of ​​Blood.

Jiang Xizhu endured the higher and higher temperature until he walked to a place only a few steps away from the phoenix cage. When he stopped, his beautiful temples were already dripping with sweat. , but the palms were completely cold because of nervousness.

Fearing that the pot of chicken soup would suddenly turn over, Li Chengzuo reached out to stop Jiang Xizhu, but Jiang Xizhu shook his head and pushed his hand away. Li Chengzuo knew Jiang Xizhu's stubbornness, so he couldn't stop him, so he followed him step by step.

Unlike Daoist Zixu who held out the snow jade at a distance of more than ten or twenty feet, Jiang Xizhu walked all the way to the front to make sure that he still had room to advance and retreat at this distance, and then opened his palm, trying to carve that piece of snow jade into a wishful Gathered above the head - but Phoenix's body is too big, even if Jiang Xizhu is a strange man like Liu Huangshu whose arms are as long as his knees, he can't lift this piece of snow jade to the level of Phoenix's sight.

But even though there was a pitch-black cage and a few meters of drop, Fenghuang still fixed his eyes on the snow jade in his hand.

This is already the second time it has seen this thing today, and its ups and downs are superimposed, and a few households make it feel a little desperate.

Li Chengzuo broke into a cold sweat silently, stretched out his hand to hold down the sword wrapped around his waist, and prepared to get out if he couldn't.

However, Jiang Xizhu reacted faster than he and Fenghuang—he held up the piece of snow jade, never retreating or avoiding it, just trying to let Fenghuang see clearly.

"You know it, don't you?" Jiang Xizhu raised his voice.

I am afraid that anyone who knows that the prime minister is reasoning with an ancient divine bird gracefully will think that Prime Minister Jiang is probably crazy.

In fact, even Jiang Xizhu himself thought so, but he was just betting - this thing was raised by humans, and before he even sat down, he had heard Song Yingluo describe the behavior of the phoenix.

It's too human, almost a spoiled and uninhibited child... or the kind that doesn't know much about it.It has been in the world for a hundred years, watching the vicissitudes of life, dynasties changing, things changing and stars moving several times, Jiang Xizhu put himself in the place and thought about it, only thought of the deep helplessness and loneliness...

Gu Xuecheng is a man of good plans, he was cruel enough to keep Fenghuang, presumably it was not a coincidence...

And Phoenix's reaction proved that he was right.

I saw the phoenix staring at the piece of snow jade held high above its head by Jiang Xizhu, and was about to move, but when it heard Jiang Xizhu's words, all its movements stopped, and its pair of phoenix eyes slowly moved towards Jiang Xizhu's direction, as if Judging what this person is going to do.

"You can understand." Jiang Xizhu looked at it, but didn't know whether he was speaking to it or himself.

Li Chengzuo was also slightly startled—he never knew it was a thing that could understand human speech. After all, it had never shown any trust in anyone during the long years it had been cared for by Wudang, nor had it ever expressed emotion to anyone’s words. .

It has always been just a legendary monster, with no sorrow or joy, no sorrow and joy, and it believes in the natural law of killing and stopping killing, and it is above all living beings in the world.

But at this moment, Fenghuang seemed to have really heard Jiang Xizhu's words, and was looking at him motionless.

"Is that Gu Xuecheng?" Jiang Xizhu tentatively asked, "You recognize him, don't you?"

The phoenix became visibly irritable. It had always been very calm when Jiang Xizhu was speaking, but when it heard Gu Xue's word □□, it suddenly wanted to get violent.

Li Chengzuo was tense at the side, and took the opportunity to pull Jiang Xizhu's other wrist with one hand, ready to take him away at any time. The change of the phoenix seemed to send him a signal suddenly, and he almost subconsciously took a step Standing in front of Jiang Xizhu.

The wrath of the phoenix is ​​not something that ordinary people can bear. Its multicolored tail feathers close instantly, like a long whip quenched and burned. Everything around him turned to dust.

Li Chengzuo instinctively realized the danger.

The next moment, the phoenix's flaming tail feathers slammed towards the outside of the cage. Fortunately, the iron cage was tightly sealed, and when it was hit by such a powerful fury, it instantly sent out a roar that shook the world as if a stormy wave hit the shore. Sparks burst out from the iron cage that had been quenched by the fire, and the heavenly maids rushed towards Li Chengzuo and Jiang Xizhu like scattered flowers.

Li Chengzuo protected Jiang Xizhu with his body. He kept stepping and retreated a few feet. He knew that this place was not suitable for staying for a long time. Jiang Xizhu's thin body was surrounded by Jiang Xizhu. It took root, but he didn't move it when he grabbed it.

Li Chengzuo froze for a moment, and finally realized that it was Junchi himself who was acting against him—he even wanted to get close to the giant bird that turned his back at any time.

Li Chengzuo frowned, and his subordinates involuntarily tried hard to force Jiang Xizhu away from this dangerous place of right and wrong, but unexpectedly arrived earlier with more firm rejection and obstruction.

Jiang Xizhu's gentle body has never exploded with such persistence. He can almost be said to have thrown off Li Chengzuo's restraint forcefully, and ran back to a place closer to Fenghuang regardless of his speed - so fast that Li Chengzuo Can't react.

Seeing that the person who said the displeasure came running back, Fenghuang became aggressive again, and its wings covered with bright five-color feathers raised high, as if it was about to incite a beacon that would change the color of the world in the next moment.

"He... Gu Xuecheng didn't abandon you!" It heard the human in the scarlet robe who suddenly ran back say, "He didn't abandon you! He just reached...the time to leave, even you can't reverse the power of life and death , he just has no way to take care of you anymore!"

Phoenix's eyes moved, but the movement of preparing to flap his wings stopped.

Jiang Xizhu took two steps forward slowly, because he was running too fast, his chest and lungs let out almost violent gasps, but he didn't dare to stop, and held up Yu Ruyi without hesitation: "He left this for you , you know this will make you no longer what you are now, it will restore you to a peaceful life, doesn't it!"

Fenghuang stared at the shiny Ruyi without blinking.

Its pair of phoenix eyes are the closest to human beings—Jiang Xizhu has seen too many emotions in those black pearl-like crystal eyes, ignorant joy, freedom and ease, deep fetters, painful parting, sorrow The loneliness, the desperate nostalgia...and, the hazy hope.

Its eyes seem to show another person's life full of joys and sorrows. It is just a surprise part of his short life, but he is all its joys, anger and expectations that last for a hundred years.

The phoenix gradually calmed down under Jiang Xizhu's anxious and earnest gaze. This time it was really calm. It was no longer anxious or angry. It lit up for a moment, flickered for a moment, finally lowered his head, facing the direction of Xueyu in Jiang Xizhu's hand, and slowly shed tears.

Li Chengzuo came in a hurry after Jiang Xizhu, and what he saw was such a strange scene that he had never seen before. He had only heard that sharks outside the East China Sea could cry tears, but he didn't know that the ancient bird of the Phoenix Tears are also shining pearls.

There was only one tear, and it fell out of the pitch-black iron cage and slowly rolled down into the mortal world. Immediately afterwards, Phoenix leaned forward and uttered three quiet short cries towards the outside of the iron cage. Eyes, still watching Xueyu.

"It needs this." Jiang Xizhu said, "It wants this in exchange...but..."

He has never practiced martial arts, and the warrior has no accuracy in piercing Yang with a hundred steps. He was hesitating whether to go forward when he was stopped by Li Chengzuo.

Li Chengzuo took Xueyu Ruyi from his hand naturally, and completely protected Jiang Xizhu behind his back without any trace, holding the jade with one hand, the laziness in Taohua's eyes disappeared completely, replaced by Ling Ran who was engrossed, and he saw the iron cage. Facing the wide and narrow gap of the palm, Xueyu was thrown accurately and powerfully.

With a throw in the air, the Changhong pierces the sun.

The phoenix had long been ready to welcome it in the cage. The moment the snow jade flew over, it raised its head to the sky, opened its pointed beak suddenly, and grabbed the shiny but hard jade in one mouthful. With a lift of the neck covered with gorgeous neck feathers, the jade was swallowed into the belly like this!

The emperor's prime minister before the giant cage, and the noble concubine, prince, and national teacher on the high platform completely witnessed all this, and couldn't help holding their breath.

The next moment, the light from the sky outside the universe pierced through the sky, piercing the ambiguity of the flowers in the Spirit Beast Garden. The tranquility of the beautiful sun and the wind was suddenly separated by the shuttled time into a sunny sky. The sky and the earth are dense, but not chaotic. The dazzling and scorching flames on Phoenix's body were disintegrated with the vast sunshine, and the red glow was like blood, covering the vast sky above the Spirit Beast Garden.

The sky is on fire, and the vast and boundless universe no longer sees the high and low peace, but is replaced by the emptiness where everything returns to its original state.

I don't know how long it took, the layers of burning clouds faded slightly, and the alleys in the world under the sky returned to their colors, and the sparkling Qionghua color dissipated, as if something had absorbed the spirit in an instant. The power to change the color of the world.

Jiang Xizhu was so blinded by the dazzling light that he couldn't open his eyes, and when his eyes finally adjusted to the earth-shattering tranquility around him, he felt like double images in front of his eyes.

Li Chengzuo recovered a little earlier than him, but he kept supporting his shoulders without moving, for fear that he would be dizzy from the dazzling color, so he supported him quietly so rarely, and waited quietly until his eyes fell. The reflection of my own peach blossom eyes can be reflected in it.

The two looked at each other, smiled lightly, and turned their gazes to the giant dark cage in unison.

The huge ancient divine bird was nowhere to be seen.

Li Chengzuo protected Jiang Xizhu and walked all the way forward. He leaned over and saw a snow-white chalcedony the size of Cuju lying quietly in it.

He knew what it was in an instant—it was the jade fetus of the phoenix after the nirvana of the phoenix.

And that ancient giant bird quietly returned to its original state, silently waiting for its next master.

Jiang Xizhu stood behind him, watching helplessly as Li Chengzuo reached out to take the phoenix jade fetus out of the cage, touched it, and handed it to Jiang Xizhu with some preciousness.

"The token originally given to you was eaten by it." Li Chengzuo smiled peachyly, "Then I will pay you for it."

Jiang Xizhu hugged the phoenix jade embryo, touched it affectionately, and suddenly blurted out a question: "Your Majesty, is there really a 'Phoenix Tower' mentioned in the book?"

What he was talking about was the romance novel that they had discussed countless times before. Li Chengzuo had a rather low opinion of this book, always saying it was wishful thinking.

However, at this moment, he suddenly had a joking attitude.

"The Phoenix does exist, and the building is ready-made." Li Chengzuo said, "As for the Phoenix Tower...you can have it if you want."

He turned around, and on the high platform Song Yingluo was waving her arms towards them in an elegant posture without a noble concubine. The posture was so powerful that she could pull out many weeping willows at a glance.

Li Chengzuo's eyes were sharpened by Song Yingluo's "brightness", so he didn't say much, just said: "Let's go, Junchi, they are waiting."

The author has something to say: finally turned the phoenix into an egg again, it was so difficult...

Besides, I still feel that I can't look too directly at the word "coincidentally"...
