Did the Palace Master break up with his Taoist companion today?

In the next few days, Lu Mingyao will go to Zangshu Pavilion alone to look up relevant materials.He didn't take Feng Nie with him because he felt that the second half of the Library Pavilion was not convenient for others to discover for the time being.

Tired of watching, I ran to the secret passage to stay and read anecdotes about the Feng Clan.

For example, the meanings or functions represented by the phoenix feathers to the phoenix blood, things they like and dislike, past merits and demerits, and even the joys and sorrows that happened during their cooperation with Xiangong.

He found that every time he opened these books, his state of mind would be different when flipping through them.

Every time I watch it more, I like it, and it seems to become more and more.

The old bamboo slips were engraved full of age-like characters, which jumped out when Lu Mingyao gently stroked them down with his fingers.

——The divine bird of the phoenix does not live in the phoenix tree.Entering a cage against one's will, would rather die than live.

In the past, the phoenix tree, the male phoenix tree and the female, grew up together, lived together and died together. It is a symbol of loyalty and love, and it also has the meaning of noble character in the eyes of the world. Therefore, it is deeply loved by the Feng family, and they are only willing to descend on the phoenix tree. .

In the fairy world, the most popular phoenix tree is the sycamore tree with golden threads in the trunk and branches, which is more noble than the ordinary sycamore trees in the lower world.

The Feng family has a whole body of pride, and it is impossible for them to wrong themselves and become the property of other creatures like other spirit beasts.In particular, they yearn for freedom. If they are forcibly detained and unable to escape, they would rather kill themselves than become someone else's cage.

Moreover, after the freedom of the Feng family is restricted, those with a little less psychological endurance are prone to mental disorders.They will act uncontrollably to hurt themselves under the suppressed emotions, and finally die in such a tragic state.

Every time Lu Mingyao saw this place, he would admire Feng Nie's inner strength.

Although he is a little arrogant and has a bad temper, at least he is not a lunatic.However, often this is usually because there are strong beliefs or obsessions in his heart that can support his spiritual world.

The source of this obsession is really because of the unwillingness of the Feng family, right?

Lu Mingyao sat on the narrow, secret passage, and glanced sideways at the book he had casually placed on the ground. On the cover, there were three golden characters of 'Guan Hai Zong' stamped on it.

He looked around and found that Guan Haizong was a rare sect without any enemies in the Lower Immortal Realm.It has a long history of creation, and it was the first generation of ancestors who worked hard to turn it from a small fairy gate into a famous and promising master.

He quite appreciates Guan Haizong's requirements for recruiting disciples, only talking about fate and aptitude, not quantity.So even if he later became a great sect, compared with other sects, there are still many fewer disciples.However, there are quite a few other sects that are allied with Guan Haizong, if something happens to them, they can still find someone to help.

Obviously, the event of being exterminated came too suddenly, beyond everyone's expectations, so there was no time to prepare.

Lu Mingyao fell into deep thought.

The person who killed Guan Haizong may be someone close to the sect or acquainted with the suzerain.Because the relationship is so good that no one thought that the other party would do such a thing.Besides, if all the disciples in such a large sect were to be massacred overnight, before they fought, they must have not noticed that the victim had cast a spell or made a request, weakening their own strength, and then allowing the other party to succeed.

And the one who can succeed in a short time must be someone who was not expected by everyone in Guan Haizong.

However, if there is no worry and no intention, why would that person do this?

Unless... he also holds the same thoughts as Feng Nirvana, wanting to ascend the 'Gate of Heaven'.After all, apart from Zhen Haizong, the other two of the Four Seas Immortal Sect don't seem to be doing very well.He also took a special look, and heard that Haizong and Luo Haizong walked downhill slowly after Guan Haizong's accident, and the timing was a bit of a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingyao sighed and put all the books in his arms back on the shelf, then picked up the book of Guan Haizong on the ground, got up and left the secret path.

Probably due to the different altitudes, he couldn't understand the other party's mind.

For him, in his capacity, there is no need to destroy the Universal Immortal Sect, he also has a way to take people to the Upper Immortal Realm.

Just like Feng Nie, if he really wants to go to avenge the Phoenix Clan...it depends on his performance and how good their relationship will be after all.If it's a relationship that can make him feel at ease, it's okay to do him such a small favor.

When he came out of Zangshu Pavilion, Lu Mingyao unexpectedly saw a bird no bigger than a fist on the fence beside the corridor outside.

Today, against the cold wind, nestling at the junction of the stone pillar and the fence is a blue bird with blue feathers all over its body.It shrunk into a ball in the corner, its fluffy feathers fluttered in the wind, and it looked a little pitiful from a distance.

He tapped his index finger on its little head, waking up the drowsy little bird that was forced to squat here.

"You go, I'm fine, it's hard work."

The blue bird's head rubbed against his palm a few times before flapping its wings and leaving.

Lu Mingyao stared at the direction where the bird, which soon disappeared without a trace, smiled helplessly.

In the Immortal Palace, only the phoenix is ​​capable of commanding the surrounding spirit birds.

He didn't bring Feng Nie with him when he came to Zangshuge these days, and the latter felt somewhat depressed, especially since he explicitly refused his company.The main reason is that he feels that the secret room in the Library Pavilion is not convenient for anyone other than him to find out for the time being, so he can only wrong Little Phoenix for the time being.

·

In the seemingly peaceful days, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Mingyao is still preparing for his next trip, and there is no news of Hua Changle who was ordered to look for it.

People inside and outside the palace have been very cautious recently, even those old foxes who came to meet Lu Mingyao regularly have become more honest.Especially after Lu Mingyao played the Song of Zhenshanhe at Feimo Xianmen, and confirmed that he has the ability to revive the spirit veins and save the immortal world, he respected him a lot.

So, they began to feel dissatisfied with the fact that his Taoist companion was from the Luofeng clan.

"Palace Master, with your identity and ability, there are many people who are worthy of you. Now the Phoenix Clan can't even be considered as a fairy beast, and it has long been abandoned by the upper realm. Companion, isn't it a little too...wrong to be in the same household?"

After one person raised a question, the rest agreed: "Yes, and where did this phoenix come from? What is its identity?"

"That's right, didn't the proud Feng Clan threaten to swear that they would live in seclusion in the Phoenix Valley and would never come out to have anything to do with the Immortal Realm? Could it be that they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Palace Master was unclear about the affairs of the Immortal Realm? After coaxing the palace lord, slowly take away the power and take revenge on the fairy world?"

Lu Mingyao didn't answer, and they talked more and more vigorously: "Palace Master, you may not know that there was a particularly arrogant Phoenix in the Feng Clan back then, who made troubles outside every day and threatened to cause trouble for the fairy palace."

"It is said that Guan Haizong was slaughtered by that phoenix?"

"Where did that phoenix go?"

"I don't know. Suddenly there was no news... But at that time, I heard that a felon was imprisoned in the Immortal Palace. Although the identity of the convict was never disclosed to the outside world, everyone guessed that the felon imprisoned in Houshan was the phoenix."

Everyone murmured for a while, and suddenly someone said timidly: "...According to what you said, the palace master's current Taoist companion suddenly appeared again. Could it be that he is the criminal who was detained on Pingling Mountain?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent instantly.

Bai Songhe stayed silently beside Lu Mingyao, his back stiffened from listening.

He knew that after Feng Nie revealed the matter, there would be troubles like this!

But Lu Mingyao on the seat hung on them without giving any explanation, neither admitting nor denying them, even after they calmed down, he said with a smile on his face: "Is the fairy officials finished? Well, I can talk now, right?" ?”

The gentle tone made people feel a little scared, and they only dared to bow their heads guiltily.

Indeed, where did they have the guts to make such an unbridled noise in front of the Palace Master of the Immortal Palace?

"Since you mentioned it, I'll let you know by the way." Lu Mingyao glanced at them a few times before continuing, "I found out that there seems to be something hidden about the case of Guan Haizong back then, and I plan to find a time to re-investigate it."

As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of surprise.

Before someone raised objections, Lu Mingyao said: "Guan Haizong is a rare master in the lower fairy world. Losing them is a great loss for the Immortal Palace. And I believe that you should also feel very sorry for the death of Guan Haizong's disciples. I hope Give them justice as soon as possible."

"Since there was no clear result back then, let me find out the answer."

There was no sound in the fairy palace.

Can they say no?

Of course not.Lu Mingyao has already spoken to this point, and suspects that the murderer is someone else, and may even be living in a corner of the fairyland. Wouldn't it be ghostly to jump out to object at this time?

And after getting along for a while, they already had a certain understanding of Lu Mingyao's character.

He looks easy to talk, but in fact he has a very stubborn temper, and it is basically difficult to persuade him to change the decision.In particular, he had already thought through the reasons for the rejection before making a decision, and he was always able to shut up the mouths of those who opposed it. It was a decision that was fully prepared before he announced it.

"Also, who do I want to be my Taoist companion... It's probably not up to you to decide for me?" This was the first time Lu Mingyao used such a strong voice to them.

Every fairy official he glanced at could feel the coercion from a fairy king of the upper fairy world: "I hope you are not enjoying the prosperity that the Phoenix Clan once brought to you, while saying such words."

·

"Feng Nie, do you know what you look like now?"

Outside the Immortal Palace, Ao Yicheng sneaked in and found Feng Nie who was stealing holy fruits in his favorite orchard, leaning on one of the fruit trees with his arms folded and laughed at him, "Like a dissatisfied husband."

As long as Lu Mingyao went to Zangshu Pavilion, Feng Nie would be given a holiday.

After silent resistance to no avail, Feng Nie gradually resigned to his fate. Since Lu Mingyao made him unhappy, he went to make trouble for others.

The one who bears the brunt is probably Bai Songhe, who has taken care of the holy orchard for a long time, and is expected to encounter fruit thieves again today.

Feng Nie picked off a plump holy fruit, and threw it precisely at Ao Yicheng's head: "Why are you so idle? If you have nothing to do, find something to do by yourself."

Ao Yicheng raised his hand to catch the fruit and said, "Palace master is generous, give me more time to catch up with you."

"The first day is over, you can go."

Seeing that Feng Nie was eating this fruit happily, Ao Yicheng took a tentative bite, his face wrinkled so that all his senses twisted together: "I'll go, this thing is so sour, how can you eat it?"

Holy fruit is generally used more in medicine.

Feng Nie glanced at Ao Yicheng, then took another big bite with no expression on her face: "It's okay."

Ao Yicheng intentionally wanted to pick things up: "But to be honest, have you fallen out of favor recently? I heard that you used to close the door of the library with the palace lord to do secret things, but now he won't let you in... Obviously, I gradually lost trust in you."

Feng Nie was unmoved: "I haven't done anything, others say what I said."

Ao Yicheng and his brothers approached him nicely and wanted to grab his shoulders, but they were avoided by this well-cultivated 'married man', and they frowned and said to him: "Don't touch me, you have the annoying dragon aura on your body. It's too heavy for my liking."

"I still don't like the phoenix smell on your body!" Mentioning this, Ao Yicheng rolled his eyes and said in an ambiguous tone, "You still want to lie to me."

"Let me tell you, other people can't guarantee it, but my dragon nose is the clearest. In the past, you were full of the phoenix smell that the dragon clan hates the most, but now it's different. Looking at the fairy world, only the Qing Qi of the palace master can call All living beings like it."

"I guess, even if you and the Palace Master don't have a real Taoist relationship, at least you have exchanged the breath of the soul."

Feng Nie was hit by what Ao Yicheng said, so she pursed her lips and did not refute.

Ao Yicheng didn't notice his emotions, but raised his head and stroked his chin with emotion: "In order to match your Feng Qi, the palace master sacrificed so much."

Feng Nie tried to struggle: "...it's not sure who sacrificed."

These words aroused Ao Yicheng's dissatisfaction: "Then it must be the Palace Master! No matter what the reason is, only the Palace Master must suffer. What are you thinking?!"

"But as your friend...it's not easy for you to find someone you like. Don't hide it from me, I still can't see how careful you are?" Ao Yicheng patted him on the shoulder and said for him He was worried about another question, "But if you really want to be with the Palace Master for a long time, how do you plan to deal with it with your clan?"

Ao Yicheng looked at him worriedly: "You should be clear about the relationship between the Feng Clan and the Immortal Dao. Even though you have verbally separated from the Feng Clan now, if they find out about the two of you, they will probably be angry with the Palace Master." -"

"No." Before he finished speaking, Feng Nie, who had been silent all this time, interrupted him, "Why should they touch my people?"

"...Oh." Ao Yicheng smiled meanly, like a cunning guy who managed to get the words out of a friend, "I really won't be so angry with your mother that I run to the valley alone Little corner, hiding and crying?"

As soon as Feng Nie got angry, he directly stuffed the untouched holy fruit into Ao Yicheng's mouth, forcing him to bite down, which made him sore that he cried, "You are so naive."

That was when he was young.At that time, he was just looking at the children who were a few years old, and he had no power to resist the orders of the elders in the clan.He wasn't crying because of his family members, but because of his own incompetence.

Not anymore.

When the two came out of the holy orchard, they happened to encounter a lively scene.

For some unknown reason, the two protectors of the Immortal Palace fought uglyly in the Immortal Palace, rolling on the ground and insulting each other.Look at the badges hanging on their costumes, they can also be regarded as high-ranking guardians in the palace.The little fairies and little protectors around didn't dare to go up to fight directly, they could only persuade them anxiously from the sidelines, and they had to be wary of being affected by the spiritual power of their fighting skills.

After Feng Nie followed Ao Yicheng into the crowd of onlookers, she realized that there was a slender snow-white figure in front of the crowd, persuading the two guardians who were wrestling with each other with a troubled expression.

It's Lu Mingyi.

Compared with the time when he first entered the Immortal Palace, his attire seems to have changed differently. He is wearing a simple and light white dress, with a flowing gauze, and his long hair is neatly tied up with a hairpin. People appear soft and light, just like the immortals descending from the painting.

Where there is a lively place, there will be crowds of gossiping onlookers.

"It's really rare. It's the first time I saw a protector fighting for a man in the Immortal Palace. If this matter gets to the Palace Master's ears, these two people will probably be punished. I don't know what they think."

"The blame can only be blamed on the guardians in the Immortal Palace who are too responsible. I heard that these two have taken care of Lu Mingyi when he had a fit... You know, no, they all want to be responsible for Lu Mingyi, and no one is willing to back down. , arguing and fighting."

"Whether it should be said or not, people who have been infiltrated by the secret poison are full of charm."

"Yeah, I didn't think so when we first met, but now that I observe carefully, I find that Lu Mingyi is indeed quite good-looking..."

Feng Nie looked away from Lu Mingyi without changing his expression.

Indeed, compared to when Lu Mingyi was rescued back to the Immortal Palace, the biggest change should be his temperament.Maybe he was an honest and simple young man before, but now he has a more eye-catching temperament.

The only unusual thing is that the so-called aura carries a bit of imperceptible... demon-like allure.

Feng Nie pondered for a long time in her mind, and only felt that the word "yaomei" was the most appropriate.

Although at first glance, it is not suitable to describe Lu Mingyi who is dressed in a light and not coquettish way.

Ao Yicheng didn't think too much about it, he was used to leading the army, and he did have a certain status and position in the Immortal Palace, when he saw the two guardians fighting among themselves, he rushed out of the crowd and kicked each of them hard.

"As the protectors of the Immortal Palace, but they are jealous and fight each other, what's the proper way?!" When Ao Yicheng was in charge, he didn't have a foolish look on his body, and he looked quite intimidating.

Especially as a dragon, he was born with an awe-inspiring viciousness.

The two people who were fighting together seemed to be unconscious, their heads were full of anger, and they didn't notice at first that it was Ao Yicheng who came to stop them.After being kicked away by him, he not only wanted to continue, but even almost beat Ao Yicheng who was persuading the fight.

The result of this was that the two of them were beaten up by Ao Yicheng, and after recovering from the beating, they knelt down belatedly: "Ao, General Ao..."

"Are you awake?" Ao Yicheng's bright smile seemed to be a little cool, "Both of you, come with me to see the Palace Master!"

"Let me figure out how to explain it to him later!"

After such a incident, the one who was really implicated in the end was the innocent Feng Nirvana.

In order to interrogate and deal with the subsequent punishment of these two people, Lu Mingyao took up the rest of his spare time before going to Zangshuge.

Feng Nie was quite depressed.

...Although, even if he was really given this time, he could only stay in the room with Lu Mingyao and could do nothing.

But today, after Lu Mingyao finished his official duties, he walked out of the study and saw him, and suddenly hooked his finger at him.

Feng Nie realized belatedly that she walked over obediently without any resistance.

Lu Mingyao whispered in his ear: "Stop torturing those spirit birds in my fairy palace. If you can't rest at night, you will be punished to stand outside the book pavilion."

Feng Nie was silent for a while, and was about to reply, when he heard Lu Mingyao say to him: "If you have the ability, come and pick me up yourself."

Lu Mingyao habitually raised his jaw again, squinted his eyes and said, "For the sake of your aggrieved face, I will go to Pingling Mountain to accompany you tonight."

As he said that, he also nodded to the location of the phoenix seal on his collarbone, and said in an unclear tone, "You can do whatever you want."

Feng Nie actually wanted to refute that he didn't look wronged, but he worried that after he said it, Lu Mingyao would reply to him: "Well, I won't look for you tonight."

So after staring at Lu Mingyao for a long time, he replied in a low voice: "...OK."

It seems that he is compromising with Lu Mingyao, and it seems that he is compromising with himself.

Feng Nie, do you like the Palace Master?

Before Ao Yicheng left him, a random question rang in his mind again.

He has been asked similar questions many times, and each time he clearly denies it.

But this time, he seemed to no longer have the same confidence.
