【Green Luan Fire Phoenix Returns】

The fishy-sweet liquid flows into the mouth, along the esophagus and reaches the stomach pouch, like some kind of cold and fast-acting poison.

At that moment, the various organs that had stopped functioning gradually recovered, and an unprecedented burning sensation penetrated from the deepest part of the body. Under the scorching high temperature, the blood began to boil, and the heart pierced by the sharp blade trembled suddenly, and then Slowly jump up and down.

Li Huan's eyes were closed tightly, and a gleam of anger floated on his icy white cheeks. The radiance of the Phoenix Blood Blade was as bright as the limit, and then disappeared suddenly, sinking into his chest together with the handle of the knife outside his body.

The remaining consciousness kept falling in the darkness, and I don't know how long it took before his feet landed on the ground. The solid touch made the erratic senses return to their original positions instantly, and the familiar flames and air waves swept over. Opened his eyes in the sea of ​​flames.

——It was exactly the same place as the first dream.

The second-floor dwellings were burning in the karmic fire, the blue flames pierced the sky, and the wantonly destroyed Qingluan Huofeng stretched its wings and raised its neck backwards, and let out a mournful cry towards the sky.At the same time, a thunderclap exploded in the night, splitting the clouds covering the sky and closing the curtain into pieces. The clouds broke through, and another Qingluan fire phoenix fell from the sky and threw itself into the sea of ​​flames!

In an instant, the wailing shook the heavens and the earth.

The two green luan writhed in pain, and every piece of phoenix feathers covering their bodies turned into blue flames, which spontaneously ignited as if they were out of control.

Li Huan was stunned by the scene in front of him. He watched helplessly as the two blue birds were burned to ashes by the flames, and the huge figure collapsed and was completely swallowed by the flames.

The tragic birdsong stopped, and the surroundings were silent. There was only endless rain between the heaven and the earth and the karmic fire of hell that even the rain could not extinguish.

Li Huan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He raised his arms hesitantly, turned his palms and spread them out in front of him.

In this space frozen in time, his body presents a weird translucent state, as if it is covered with a layer of pearly halo.Li Huan frowned, and vaguely had a bold guess in his heart. At this moment, there was the sound of a beast passing through the grass behind him. He knew that the other party would come sooner or later, so he didn't turn around, but said: "This is ...the place where the three souls live?"

The nine-tailed fox squatted down beside him, lowered its head docilely, and touched the back of Li Huan's hand with the tip of its wet nose that is unique to beasts.

"Exactly." Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit said, "I can feel the soul fluctuations from the master's other two souls. He is very distressed, both because of your life, and because of Feng Chi's impending death. This time probably It means that we will never have the chance to meet again forever.”

Li Huan looked down at it, stretched out his hand to stroke the upper fox's head, combed the soft hair there, and said, "Tell me frankly, after meeting the half-demon Feng Chi, did the teacher hesitate to hand me over to him?" thing?"

The nine-tailed fox spirit did not answer this question, but instead asked, "What do you think, young master?"

"If I were him, I would definitely have that kind of thought. After all, it is Qingluan Fengchi, the teacher's beloved elder brother. Besides, he has been looking for the remaining two phoenix souls in the past 3000 years in order to regenerate Fengchi. Now it is rare to have one. Opportunity, of course, can't avoid thinking about it." Li Huan smiled, and his peach eyes took advantage of the opportunity to form a beautiful shape.

The nine-tailed fox moved its ears, looked intently into Li Huan's eyes, and slowly shook his head.

Seeing this, Li Huan frowned puzzledly: "Isn't it right?"

Nine-tailed fox spirit said: "You don't know enough about the relationship between the phoenix soul and the container, so forgive me for mentioning the word container."

"It's okay." Li Huan said, "You continue."

Hu Ling said: "In your consciousness, you strictly separate the phoenix soul from your own human soul. You think that Feng Chi should be like the half-demon who was revived by the green dragon, indifferent, arrogant, despising human beings, and despising the law. Possess the ambition to become a demon. That's right, these do belong to Feng Chi, but they are only a part of him. To be precise, they are the personality carried by those two phoenix souls, and the 'Li Huan' you divided belongs to the third The phoenix soul is what the master cherishes the most and is hard to part with."

"You mean... I am Feng Chi?" Li Huan still felt unbelievable, "How is this possible?!"

"Your conclusion is correct, and it's not correct." Hu Ling said, "You are indeed a mortal, but because you have a phoenix soul, you have to be affected by it. This influence has appeared since you were not born. , to this day, the word 'influence' alone cannot describe the profound significance of the Phoenix Soul to you, it is not your soul, but it dominates everything about you together with the other three souls - so you are Li Huan , is also the Qingluan Fengchi corresponding to that ray of soul."

Perhaps because he was worried that the young master didn't understand, Hu Ling thought for a while, and then said: "I think you have noticed a long time ago that Ari is the master's spiritual pet, but his personality is very different from the master's." , now that we have the honor to talk face to face, you must also feel the difference between me and them."

"The three souls are independent, and each strand can be regarded as the main body, but after a long period of baptism, whether it is a human or a demon, its personality will change to a certain extent, and then there will be a convergence of selection and precipitation, and finally a kind of The most mature state is finalized."

"The master you know is the nine-tailed demon fox who has seen through the changes of the world for 3000 years, and Ari and I are the innocent and kind people who have been hidden by him." Speaking of this, the fox raised his head and licked Li Huan's palm , Said frankly: "He loves you very much, he uses his kindness to protect you from being swallowed by the phoenix soul, and he uses his innocence to accompany you forever, so that you will not be violated by this mortal lust for the rest of your life."

"Little master, what I really want to say is—you don't have to care too much about whether the master has ever thought of handing you over to Feng Chi, because he cherishes and loves you more than you can imagine, nine No matter how cold the tailed demon fox is, it is still a living being with flesh and blood, and every living being will inevitably have a mortal heart."

Li Huan smiled softly, knelt down on one knee in front of the nine-tailed fox, embraced him, buried his head in the fox's neck and rubbed gently: "You must be the gentlest of the teacher's three souls. the wisp of it."

"Young master is too famous," Hu Ling said, "After tonight, you and I probably won't have the chance to meet again, but I have been waiting for this day for many years."

After speaking, it gently left Li Huan's embrace, took a few steps back, bent its forelegs towards Li Huan, lowered its body, and performed the most pious gift of beasts.

All of a sudden, not far away, the karmic fire that had been quiet was raised again. Li Huan looked back with feeling, and saw a small turquoise figure bursting out of the flames, flying staggeringly towards this side.After getting close, he subconsciously reached out to catch the little guy, and after a closer look, he realized that it was actually a baby bird whose wingspan was no bigger than a palm.

The little guy's head was small and his eyes were big, and the forehead was embellished with teardrop-like Yinhong gemstones. His fluff had not yet faded, and his newborn wings were slightly blown up. He looked a little fat, and his two thin bird claws were restless. Jumping up and down, tilting his head towards Li Huan and chirping non-stop.

"This is... the Qingluan chick?" Li Huan asked, looking at the Nine-tailed Fox Spirit beside him.

"The phoenix is ​​reborn in this fragile state every 1000 years. Even if he is a high-level monster, he can't get rid of the catastrophe of the phoenix clan." Hu Ling said, "Master guesses, this is probably the phoenix." The main reason for wanting to become a demon..."

Li Huan said: "Why did he fail?"

"Demons are the most yin and evil things created by heaven and earth. If monsters want to become demons, they can only smear their hands with blood and die when their sins are the most heinous. In this way, their souls will not go to heaven or earth. , the only place to go is to become a demon." Hu Ling said, "I think maybe it's because Feng Chi had all three souls back then, and he still had good thoughts in his heart, so the attack was not cruel enough."

Li Huan nodded thoughtfully and said, "When can I leave here?"

"anytime."

With the final sound of the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit, Little Qingluan flapped her wings and flew up, turning into a blue flame in mid-air, twisting around and rushing straight into Li Huan's chest.

As if being pierced again by a scorching sharp blade, the moment his consciousness froze, the soul world composed of night, rainstorm and karma burst apart, countless rays of sky shot through the gap, Li Huan was stabbed and closed his eyes tightly, Stretching out his hand to cover his brow—everything around him abruptly left the stage, and in the darkness, he felt a familiar wet touch rubbing against his palm, with an obvious sense of reluctance.

He subconsciously touched it with his backhand, clasped his fingers tightly, but left nothing behind.

In the real world, Xing Yi noticed that Li Huanchui's fingers moved, and his breathing and heartbeat gradually stabilized. He was calling his name, but he felt that the body of the person in his arms was unnaturally tense.

The monster Cheng Huang leaned down in fear, bared its fangs, and exploded all the fur on its back, letting out a series of low warning whistles.

Xing Yi frowned slightly, and looked down at Li Huan's heart, only to see a faint cyan fire slowly floating up into the air, magnified infinitely in the darkness, and glowing as bright as day.

Xing Yi's eyes darkened, and his usual calm expression was rarely moved.

Under the night, Qi Jingyu and Feng Yu, who were inseparable from each other, couldn't help being stunned, and then looked down at the same time.

The next moment, the blazing fire of karma spewed out, the blue light broke through the sky, and the flames were burning like a fierce beast dormant in it.

Feng Chi narrowed his demon pupils in extreme unease, and murmured: "This is impossible! The Phoenix Blood Blade of this deity... unexpectedly chose a mortal to recognize as its master?!"

After the words were lost, Feng Chi flapped his wings together, twisted his body around the nine-tailed demon fox, and spewed out a stream of karmic fire toward the ground from the concentrated demonic power.

One day and one place, two clusters of karmic fires met suddenly, and the heat wave exploded with a bang. The frost condensed by Xuan Chi was instantly dried, and half of the west mountain was turned into scorched earth in the emerald green flames.For a moment, dark clouds covered the sky, and the torrential rain poured down. Everything seemed to be happening again, as if an omnipotent god brought back to the world the memory sealed in the nightmare.

A huge black figure appeared, the slender neck of the giant bird raised high, a jewel in the center of the forehead was so red that it was about to bleed, and the two wings burning with blue flames spread sideways, which can be called a terrifying high-level threat. Immediately, the pressure swept out, shaking the sky and the earth, and the sun and the moon paled.

After 3000 years, Qingluan Huofeng finally came back to the world!
