Phoenix Feather

The sky was so dark that it seemed that it would collapse at any time.

The strong wind mixed with the rain was raging everywhere, and the distant coast was churning with huge waves.

Xiao Chunqiu, who was sheltering from the rain in the canteen, was terrified, always feeling that the small house was shaking and would be blown over by the strong wind at any moment.

"Shangguanxuan, I said this canteen is not very safe?"

Shangguanxuan looked at the small shop with only 10 square meters, and replied, "Don't you think it's more dangerous outside?"

Xiao Chunqiu was depressed. Compared with the violent storm outside, although this small shop was a bit small, there was still a tile to cover their heads, so that they wouldn't be drowned, and they didn't have to be the target of thunder and lightning. May be chopped into coke.

I searched around but couldn't find a chair, so Xiao Chunqiu had no choice but to sit on the table, took a box of ice cream from the large refrigerator next to the wall, and pointed at Shangguanxuan, "Do you want to eat?"

"Chocolate flavor, thank you." Shangguanxuan walked over and sat down next to Xiao Chunqiu. There was nothing to do, it was a different taste to squeeze together and eat ice cream in this bad weather.

"Tell me, where did those two women go?" He and Shangguanxuan actually lost face.

I received a call from Xuan Xuan before, saying that the woman who sold the straw hat might be related to the death of the fat man, so Xiao Chunqiu and Shangguan Xuan planned to investigate the woman who sold the straw hat, but unexpectedly found that the woman who sold the straw hat was actually related to the fat man Wang Wu. His wife, Lin Mei, knew her. From what Lin Mei called the woman with the red spot on the right eye socket, she knew that this woman was Mrs. Zhang.

The two followed Lin Mei and Mrs. Zhang all the way to the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends, but they lost them. Lin Mei and Mrs. Zhang seemed to disappear out of thin air, and they disappeared all of a sudden. Just when they were about to search carefully , The pouring rain came suddenly, and I had no choice but to find a place to shelter from the rain temporarily, and finally found a canteen not far from the first bay of Jiuqu [-] Bend.

The shop is small, with only four rows of shelves and two refrigerators. Strangely, there is no one there.

While eating the ice cream, Xiao Chunqiu complained: "Why is the thunder getting more and more frightening, my ears are almost deafened."

Shangguanxuan paused, silently watching the lightning that illuminated the entire sea in the distance, with deep thought in his eyes, this massive thunderstorm came too suddenly, it was not an ordinary thunderstorm, there was probably something strange in the sea A change happened, I don't know what happened to Xuan Xuan and the others.

"Hey, Shangguanxuan, why is there no one in this canteen?"

Small and gloomy, dimly lit, and thunderstorms outside, the store has a haunted atmosphere. Xiao Chunqiu, who is afraid of nothing but ghosts, feels terrified.

"Aren't we human?" Shangguan Xuan made a rare joke.

Xiao Chunqiu smirked twice, "It's not funny at all."

"No one is not a bad thing, at least you can eat and drink whatever you want without paying."

"Well, you're right."

In order to experience the wonderful psychology of eating Bawang Meal, Xiao Chunqiu picked a bunch of snacks from the shelves, and he even picked expensive ones.

"Hey, there's a door here!"

The two refrigerators in the canteen are placed on the left and right sides of the door, and the four rows of shelves, two rows are against the walls on the left and right sides, and the remaining two rows are placed side by side in the middle.

Xiao Chunqiu accidentally found a very secret door behind the shelf on the right. If he hadn't accidentally knocked off the goods on the shelf, he probably wouldn't have found this small door hidden behind the goods.

Shangguanxuan picked up the scattered goods on the ground, and immediately felt that something was wrong. When he opened it, he found that it was an empty box.

Xiao Chunqiu stared wide-eyed, took a tin box of biscuits from the shelf, and shook it—it was also empty.

Shangguanxuan stretched out his hand to push the row of shelves. With a push, the shelves immediately slid outwards. It turned out that there were pulleys installed underneath.

Seeing the small door completely exposed, the tension of about to discover the big secret made the adrenaline soar, and Xiao Chunqiu couldn't help but get excited.

Shangguanxuan glanced at Xiao Chunqiu, pulled the person behind him, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door——

The door opened as soon as it was pushed, and there were steps extending down behind the door.

The dim light only illuminated the distance of a few meters, and it was pitch black beyond.

Pulling out his gun, Shangguanxuan dragged Xiao Chunqiu down the steps.

After walking down the steps for about ten minutes, Shangguanxuan, who has a keen sense of smell, smelled a strange smell in the air, a smell similar to rotten wood.

The steps are exhausted, and there is a fork in front of you.

Shangguanxuan stopped, thought for a while, and chose the right side where the strange smell came from.

Not long after walking, a faint light suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The two held their breath, subconsciously walked lightly and continued to walk forward.

The light came from the candles on both sides of the wall—at first they thought it was candles, but when they got closer, they realized that it was not candles, but the root system of some kind of plant. When they looked up, they saw such unknown plants hanging down. root system.At some distance, a section of root system was ignited, and the weird smell like rotten wood was emitted by these burning roots.

Xiao Chunqiu felt his hair stand on end, wishing he could turn around and walk back.

Shangguan Xuan listened attentively, and said in a low voice, "There are people in front."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Xiao Chunqiu to the direction where the voice came from.

Xiao Chunqiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow, paying attention to the densely packed roots of unknown plants on his head from time to time, worried that these roots would suddenly fall off and burrow into the skin like insects.

With this kind of thought, Xiao Chunqiu suddenly felt that the roots on his head were surging like worms——

The more I looked at it, the more I felt that those roots were alive. Suddenly, a few things were wrapped around his neck, and Xiao Chunqiu was so frightened that he almost jumped up——

Fortunately, Shangguan Xuan reacted quickly enough to cover his mouth in time.

Only then did Xiao Chunqiu realize that the hand on his neck was Shangguanxuan's hand, he couldn't help but glared at Shangguanxuan, you bastard!I was so scared that my heart stopped!

Shangguan Xuan let go of his hand, turned Xiao Chunqiu's head to a certain direction, motioning him to look over there.

After a glance, Xiao Chunqiu was very surprised, because he saw Lin Mei and Mrs. Zhang, besides these two, there were several middle-aged women beside them.

Immediately, Xiao Chunqiu was puzzled, what are these women doing here?

Someone poked his shoulder twice, Xiao Chunqiu looked in the direction Shangguanxuan pointed, and saw a person lying on the ground not far away.

It's a man.

Man in suit and tie.Due to the dim light, it was impossible to tell whether he was wearing a black suit or a darker blue, and his tie was a conspicuous silver.

The man's head was facing Xiao Chunqiu and the others, his eyes were wide open, showing a kind of numbness.

Xiao Chunqiu's heart suddenly rose to his throat, was he discovered?

But upon closer inspection, it seemed wrong. The man was motionless, obviously——

Shangguan Xuan whispered: "It's a dead man."

Through the light, Xiao Chunqiu felt that the pale face looked familiar, he had seen this person before.

Shangguanxuan wrote the word "Li" on the palm of his hand, and Xiao Chunqiu immediately remembered that this man in a suit is called Li Si, and he has a very good relationship with Fatty Wang Wu. Besides Li Si, Wang Wu has two other friends among his friends. It is also good, one is called Zhang San, and the other is called Li Er. At that time, Xiao Chunqiu also commented that the names of these four people are really too popular.

During the investigation, it is worth noting that the backgrounds of these four people are very similar. Before they made their fortunes, they were just ordinary fishermen, but later they seemed to be favored by the sea god. Every time they went to sea, they caught boat after boat of all kinds of precious seafood. , and even a large amount of pearls... After making a fortune selling seafood and pearls, these four people spent a lot of money to build Haiwang Island into a so-called tourist resort for the rich...

Seeing Li Si's body in this eerie place at this time, Xiao Chunqiu and Shangguan Xuan both had a guess: the ones who killed the fat man Wang Wu were most likely his wife Lin Mei and Mrs. Zhang who sold straw hats... But One question, what happened to those dead fish?It is impossible for Wang Wu to eat those dead fish voluntarily. Why is it that the apparent cause of death is eating dead fish? ...

The next scene accidentally gave Xiao Chunqiu and the others an unbelievable but possible truth.

Lin Mei and the others carried Li Si's body to a large rock and put it there, and poured some black worm-like strips from a bucket beside him onto Li Si's body.

Those black strips were obviously living things. These things squirmed on Li Si's body, and then crawled one by one into Li Si's mouth that was opened by Lin Mei and the others...

***

A thin and drenched figure rushed into the canteen.

The person who came was a little boy, the little boy who used to sell straw hats with Mrs. Zhang.

Seeing the shelves being removed, the little boy stepped into the canteen and shrank back, looked around for a while, thought for a while, then turned and ran to the back of the canteen.

Behind the canteen, the large expanse of blood-red bougainvilleas looked even more strange under the torrential rain. The little boy bent down and got into the dense bougainvillea.

***

The door opened.

Everyone who was waiting anxiously looked at the half-open door.

The little white tiger poking its head out hesitated whether to go out, why did the master and the others have such weird eyes.

"Little Bai!" Bai Xi yelled, "Why are you? Where's Yue Yu? Where's the Great God?"

The little white tiger shook his head, sleeping.

Bai Xi rushed up to the room to look around, and saw Yueyu and Xuanxuan were sleeping soundly next to each other on the bed. He observed Xuanxuan's face carefully for a while, he was flushed, and felt relieved.

"It's okay." Bai Xi reassured everyone.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts that had been suspended all the time finally returned to their original place.

Bai Xi closed the door, picked up the little white tiger and looked left and right, up and down——

After a long while, I heard Bai Xi say sadly: "Xiaobai, you gained a lot of weight after you entered the advanced stage?"

The little white tiger got angry. It is called plump, not fat. It is said so on the Internet. You can't say that others are fat, you have to say plump!This is the art of talking! ! !

Long Junfan and Su Chen looked at their pets, and felt that they hadn't changed much, as if they had grown up a bit.

The biggest change is Xiaojiao, it finally has the horns it has dreamed of, and now it is overjoyed to touch the two horns that have just grown, and is so happy that it pulls the little golden dragon and tells it to look at its own horns.

Long Junfan and the others were amazed, and even more curious about what power caused the little golden dragon and even the little jiao to advance. However, all this probably can only be known when Yueyu or Xuanxuan wake up.

Bai Xi, who made fun of the little white tiger for being fat, suddenly let out a scream. When everyone turned their heads, they saw Bai Xi lying on the ground under the pressure of a huge white tiger.

The white tiger flicked its tail, looking innocently at the crowd who opened their mouths wide in shock.

Bai Xi stretched out a hand with difficulty, and surrendered: "Okay, Xiaobai, you are not fat, not at all, but you are so thin that you are so thin that you can't even compare to a bamboo."

Looking at the huge lazy white tiger in front of them, and then thinking about the little white tiger like a Persian cat, everyone was dumbfounded. This change is really great!

Bai Xi got up and looked depressed at the half-human white tiger, "If he grows so big, he won't be able to beat Xiao Bai in the future."

Baihu nodded: That's right. From now on, the delicious food will be mine. Also, if I look like this, you should call me Dabai, not Xiaobai. Xiaobai suits you.

"..." Bai Xi rushed forward, gnashing her teeth: "Change back to me, back to a Persian cat, I know you can do it."

……

Listening to the faint noise of laughter outside, Xuan Xuan smiled slightly, Bai Xi and his white tiger are always so happy when they fight.

Yue Yu beside her suddenly turned over, wrapped her arms around Xuan Xuan's waist, buried her head in Xuan Xuan's neck, and unconsciously called out: "Xiao Yue."

"Well, I'm here." Xuan Xuan responded.

As if hearing Xuanxuan's answer, Yueyu's lightly frowned brows relaxed, her breathing gradually calmed down, and she fell asleep just like that holding Xuanxuan in her arms.

Touching Yueyu's brows and eyes, he leaned forward and stole a kiss on his lips, Xuanxuan looked soft, this person is very tired.

Turning to look at the little phoenix lying on the pillow——

Little Phoenix is ​​jealous that Yueyu has taken away all of Xuanxuan's attention, look, Xiaoxuan has not noticed its change yet.

Little Phoenix, who had originally made up her mind to be angry, immediately forgot everything when she saw Xuan Xuan turned her head, and rubbed against Xuan Xuan affectionately——

After touching the little phoenix and the little unicorn, Xuanxuan accidentally saw the blood-stained coat discarded on the chair. Xuanxuan thought of something, and told the little phoenix: "Bring me that coat."

Little Phoenix obediently gave the clothes to Xuanxuan.

Xuan Xuan took out a thin black paper folded in half from the coat pocket.

Open it, and a silver rose is drawn on the black paper.

Xuan Xuan's eyes turned cold, and the black paper was instantly reduced to ashes.

In the past two days, his coat has not been changed. He remembered that he almost bumped into the little boy selling straw hats at the nine bends and eighteen bends...
