His old enemy deceives the world

Qi Bing's complexion suddenly cracked for a moment, he paused, then turned his head and said to Chu Yu viciously: "Don't get carried away, the demon master will need you for a while, after the wedding banquet, can you still use it?" Save your life... I don't think it's a matter of certainty!"

Who knew that Chu Yu turned a deaf ear to his words at all, and just adjusted his clothes to himself, raised his face and said to him in a dismissive tone: "Be careful what you say, I'm an actor handpicked by your demon lord."

Qi Bing: "..." So what is there to be so proud of?

Qi Bing was confused, but Chu Yu ignored him, walked straight down the pavilion, and looked around. As soon as he thought of looking for the palace gate, he saw a dark blue light slowly appearing not far away. The gate, he waded across the Jiuxi barefoot and walked towards the direction where the gate appeared, but the moment he pushed the gate open with his palm, he suddenly felt the relief under his palm squirm.

His heart beat suddenly, and Chu Yu was stunned as if struck by lightning. It was not until he heard the heavy closing sound of the door behind him that he thought of turning around to find out, but he found that there was already an endless corridor behind him. .

Bowing his head and twisting his fingers, recalling the cold and rough touch left on his fingers just now, Chu Yu's eyes darkened - for some reason, everything here gave him a weird feeling of revisiting his old place, even the smallest details , will inadvertently vibrate the seal that has been in a trance for thousands of generations, shake off the dust on it, and flash the scenes of the past cold and summer before his eyes, but it happens as quickly as clouds and dew, fleeting, Let him never grasp the vital point.

Stepping forward with a lot of thought, Chu Yu began to notice that the phantoms floating on both sides of the corridor were no longer those lifeless monsters, but turned into pictures like revolving lanterns. It is some meaningless scenery, high mountains and sea of ​​clouds, mountains and mountains... They are all viewed from a high place. These scenery are empty and boring, and they are almost the same. Only occasionally will the phoenix that Chu Yu has seen before appear. When it appears, the birds always hold some weird gadgets in their beaks, and fly towards the scenery in the picture with an elegance and calmness that others cannot match.

Chu Yu's gaze unconsciously followed the fiery red figure, but the further back, the less and less the phoenix picture was, until finally, everything in the picture was completely annihilated in the chaotic nothingness.

Chu Yu stared blankly at the black hole-like picture, and stood there for a long time, until Wuji's voice came from beside him.

"Brother, look at your feet."

Chu Yu suddenly woke up. He took two steps back and saw a small puddle under his feet, which was extremely abrupt on the smooth white jade floor. He frowned suspiciously and said, "Why do you..."

"Shh..." Wuji's cautious voice came from the puddle, and he greeted in a low voice: "Shut up, reach out your hand, let's talk in another place."

"Can you take me out of Qiongtu Mountain?" Chu Yu asked with raised eyebrows without moving.

"It's a good idea, you!" Wuji lowered his voice as much as possible: "Your natal soul feather is on the demon lord, as long as you dare to take a step out of Qiongtu Mountain, he will know immediately! At that time, I will lose it." Life doesn't matter, who should I entrust my family to take care of, you? I can't even protect myself!...Okay, stop wasting time here, and reach out!"

While the two were talking, the surrounding light began to gradually dim. Chu Yu turned his face slightly and noticed a net-shaped shadow slowly spreading from outside the glass window. Then his heart moved, squatted down, and put his hands on on the puddle.

……

The damp sea wave breath rushed towards his face, and the world was turned upside down in an instant. Chu Yu opened his eyes again, and there was already an empty hall in front of him, as if it had been vacant for a long time, and there were traces of time passing everywhere. The wind swayed freely, and the atmosphere was both strange and peaceful.

After quietly scanning around, Chu Yu suddenly walked straight in one direction as if feeling something, and then suddenly opened the curtain in front of him.

The body on the bed suddenly ignited a blazing white flame, and was burnt to fly ash in an instant, and the sparks splashed scattered in all directions, but it was hard to conceal the horror on Chu Yu's face—the moment the curtain was lifted, What he saw...was his own face.

"What’s wrong with you!?"

Wuji's suspicious and uncertain voice suddenly sounded from the side, and Chu Yu came back to his senses in a jerk, and then looked intently, only to see that the surroundings were still surrounded by a quiet and dim hall, with the curtain fluttering in front of him, and he was still standing where he was. No step forward!

"Did I...didn't move just now?" Chu Yu swallowed, and asked in a difficult voice.

"You've been standing by my side all the time?" Wuji looked strange, he paused, and then continued: "It's just a very strange expression... as if being haunted."

"..." Chu Yu didn't answer, he suddenly walked towards the direction he had imagined just now, until he came to the last curtain.

Under the light gauze curtain, he seemed to see that figure again, but when he stretched out his hand and suddenly pulled away the obstacle in front of him, only the empty floor came into his eyes.

"How could it be...?" Chu Yu murmured.

"Did you see hallucinations?" Wuji walked behind him and explained: "There is something evil in this temple, and I almost fell into a daze when I first came here."

After finishing speaking, he tentatively asked cautiously, "What... did you see?"

Chu Yu had barely calmed down at this moment, he glanced at Wuji, and said, "What about you? What did you see again?"

"Ahem...no, nothing..." Wuji looked away and said awkwardly.

With a cold snort, Chu Yu took two steps forward, and slowly brushed his fingers over the dusty black lacquered piano table placed by the wall. The sleeping hall in Mingyang Palace? What do you have to bring me here to say?"

"Don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't mean to cheat you this time! Of course, your reaction was beyond my expectation, so I'm very curious..." Wuji rubbed his hands, and looked up to see Chu Yu looking over With a bad expression on his face, he quickly changed the subject and said: "Cough! Closer to home... You should have seen that the entire Mingyang Palace was built on the roots of the Wannian Indus, and the Demon Lord lived in it, but did not place it here. One soldier and one soldier, I suspect... There may be some kind of perception between the demon lord and Wannian Wutong, so all the troubles in Mingyang Palace can be under his control, which is why he dared to make such a big deal. "

Chu Yu listened carefully, and the aerial roots chasing the phantom of the phoenix appeared in his mind. They seemed to be clinging to the outside of the glass window, and judging from their trajectory, they were obviously self-aware... It was just them The tip of the iceberg that they can see, but how many roots are buried deep in the ground under their feet that they can't see?Thinking of the gigantic ten thousand-year sycamore tree he saw in the Mirror Prison Brush Wash, Chu Yu couldn't help feeling horrified. He hadn't forgotten that this ten thousand-year sycamore tree was a magic tree that nourished itself with the lives of other living beings.

"And here..." Wuji's voice continued to come, interrupting Chu Yu's train of thought. He looked up and looked around the hall, and said slowly: "According to my investigations these days, it is the only one in the root system of the phoenix tree. It is a corner to avoid, and there is no way to find this gate in Mingyang Palace, it is like the demon lord's bedroom, it is covered by extremely brilliant spells."

But Chu Yu immediately grasped the point, and said suspiciously: "Why did you deliberately avoid Chongcang? Could it be that you entered Mingyang Palace secretly?"

"Except for the first day you came to Mingyang Palace, I came here uninvited for the rest of the time." A trace of secret pride flashed in the traceless blue cat's eyes, but then he sighed again: "But When I enter Mingyang Palace, I will definitely touch the enchantment shock, so I think every time I come here, I can't hide it from the demon lord's eyes and ears, but he pretends not to know that's all, but even so, I can't just put my nose on my face and swagger come in?"

"Oh? It seems that your master-servant relationship is in jeopardy?" Chu Yu teased.

Wuji avoided answering this question, instead he said in a nonchalant manner: "Mingyang Palace is a famously dangerous place, after all, it is one of the forbidden places of death in the demon world, and all kinds of strange things can be said to emerge one after another. If the monsters under the Miaoyou state come here, it is a question of whether they can go out vertically. You also don’t think there is anything here because you have already reached the return state. At most, the scenery is a bit strange. But if you stay for a long time, even if you don't hold back your insanity, you will probably lose your eyesight."

"This kind of place...even if the demon lord tells me to stay, I don't want to stay - have you seen those phantoms in the corridor? They are also souls who died under the ten thousand-year-old sycamore tree. I'm afraid it can circle around the demon world, and it's infiltrating when you look at it, and only a demon master with a high level of art dares to use this kind of place as a bedroom."

"Really?" Chu Yu listened to his incoherent and far-fetched words, with sarcasm in his eyes, and said casually: "But I see that Qi Bing's going in and out of Mingyang Palace is very upright!"

"Isn't this obvious?" Wuji immediately said seriously with an expression that had violated his dignity: "If you were the demon lord, which one would you choose to guard against, idiots like me and Qi Bing?"

Chu Yu tilted his head in doubt, and replied as a matter of course: "Of course we should guard against both, but Qi Bing...just drag it down and beat him to death, he hasn't reached the level where I can fight wits and bravery. "

Wuji: "..." Pretend I didn't say anything.

Chu Yu also put away his deliberate expression, and returned to his usual indifference: "A person who knows the current affairs is a hero, so I have always been surprised... Since you have chosen to surrender to Chong Cang, why do you still have to study under his nose?" Yingying, what good will it do you to fight against him?"

A curtain passed between the two of them, and after a long silence, Wuji finally spoke softly:

"I suspect that he is not the real demon master at all."

"Why?" Chu Yu frowned.

"Intuition." Wuji seemed unwilling to say more, he turned his eyes away and said, "There are too many doubts about him."

"But he made the phoenix tree bloom because all the demons saw it with their own eyes at the foot of Qiongtu Mountain, right?" Chu Yu said, "Don't you also think that he can have a connection with the Wannian phoenix tree? Isn't that what the demon lord can do?"

"What I saw with my own eyes may not be true." Wuji's bright blue eyes suddenly became far-reaching, and he fixedly looked at Chu Yu and said, "Furthermore...the phoenix tree is blooming, what is the origin of the legend of the demon lord's appearance?" When did it start spreading?"

The author has something to say: I'm back!That... About the difference between the Phoenix and the Suzaku, the author raises his hand to answer: these are two kinds of creatures. Although the current legends almost regard the Suzaku as the Phoenix, the legend of the Suzaku is actually older than the legend of the Phoenix. , Suzaku is the god of the south representing Emperor Yan and the seven constellations in the south. The seven constellations in the south are: well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing and Zhen.And in "Heguanzi? Duwan Eighth", it says: "The phoenix is ​​the bird of the quail fire." The quail fire represents willows, stars, and Zhang, so the phoenix is ​​regarded as a subordinate of Suzaku.

In the setting of this article, it is almost the same, but of course it is impossible to have many such precious Suzaku, so most of the people in the Suzaku clan are phoenixes, or the mixed blood of Phoenix and Suzaku, and Chu Yu is a That's why the real Suzaku grows slower than everyone else. This is also the main reason why he has an unusual status in the Suzaku clan since he was born, not just because of the prophecy of a demon lord.

Of course, these are not important settings, so you don't need to pay too much attention. 【Light a cigarette...
