Phoenix Feather

As soon as the boat was moored at the pier, Xuan Xuan received a call from Xiao Chunqiu.

"Xuanxuan, are you done with your work?"

"It's busy."

"went well?"

"It was a success."

Xiao Chunqiu let out an oh, guessing that things might not be going well, otherwise Xuan Xuan would directly say that it was going well, instead of answering that it was going well, but unfortunately he couldn't help much, "By the way, Fatty Wang Wu's case has been solved."

"Since the case has been solved, why does your voice sound weak?" Xuanxuan teased, "Have you been bullied by Shangguanxuan?"

Xiao Chunqiu didn't retort a few words as usual, just said "I'll talk to you when I get back" and hung up the phone.

Xuanxuan rubbed his chin, it was rare for Xiao Chunqiu to feel depressed, could it be that the fat man Wang Wu's case touched a fragile nerve?

Yue Yu got off the boat, saw Xuan Xuan standing still thoughtfully, then turned back, "What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing," Xuan Xuan shook his head, "I just think Xiao Chunqiu wants to talk to me, this tree hole."

……

Mrs. Zhang was at a loss. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to do so.

Li Mei, who was sitting next to her, chattered nervously: "Why did Dragon Po die? Who killed her?...She died, and I lost everything?"

Mrs. Zhang actually hated Long Po very much. She always thought that this woman was the chief culprit who killed her husband. This mysterious woman brought wealth and death.When she searched for treasure and found their fishing village back then, she shouldn't have been allowed to confuse the crowd, and she should have been driven out of the fishing village.

Huge wealth is an irresistible temptation for the poor people in the fishing village.Long Po took advantage of this and coaxed the people in the village to help her bulldoz the mountain and dig out the demon tree... Mrs. Zhang never knew that the ordinary bougainvillea could grow so huge It's strange, she thinks it's a demon tree, but everyone in the village thinks it's a divine tree, because since this giant tree was dug out, their poor fishing village has been favored by the sea god, and every time they go to sea, they can always catch a boat full of fish. precious seafood, and even a large number of pearls and gemstones.

However, before they had time to enjoy the wealth, bad luck befalls them.The adult men in the village died one after another like a plague, and finally only Wang Wu, Li Si, Zhang San, and Li Er were left.

Everyone thought that Wang Wu and the others had escaped by luck, because the four of them were the only adult men in the village who did not go to sea with the boat.Mrs. Zhang felt that her man had taken the Sea God's wealth and thus received retribution, not only her, but others also had such thoughts, so those belongings brought back were thrown back into the sea.

I don't know from which day, Luang Phor disappeared.Then, Wang Wusi became rich...

After learning from Li Mei about the deal between Wang Wu and the others, Mrs. Zhang was very angry. Thinking of her husband's tragic death, she wished she could eat Wang Wu's flesh and drink their blood.

From digging the demon tree to fishing for rare seafood, pearls and gemstones is a complete conspiracy.Long Po wants something under the demon tree, Wang Wu and the others want treasure, and the five hit it off with beautiful lies to deceive the villagers who hope to live a better life...

Li Mei only learned of Wang Wu's secret by accident, and she didn't know why all the men in the village except Wang Wu and four died strangely. That kind of thing, the greedy ditch can never be filled. Wang Wu and others who got the treasure came up with the idea of ​​such a treasure. The four of them imprisoned Luang Po in a cave by the sea and asked the whereabouts of the treasure. After so many years, Luang Po fell down. He was so stubborn that he didn't let go at all...

Knowing this is enough for those poor women who have lost their fathers, husbands and sons. It is too comfortable to kill them with one knife.

After reading the confession recorded by Xiao Chunqiu and Shangguanxuan to Li Mei, Mrs. Zhang and others, Bai Xi sighed: "The four fat people really deserve their deaths."

Xuanxuan asked Shangguanxuan: "Who do you think killed Long Po?"

Shangguanxuan said: "Not Wang Wu and the others, nor Li Mei and the others."

"Who could it be?" Bai Xi asked.

"Mystery case." Shangguan Xuan gave such an answer.

Xuanxuan said: "Unfortunately, it's too late, otherwise I really want to go to the underground cave under the bougainvillea." On that day, he and Yue Yu both noticed those bougainvilleas, but they didn't expect that the large bougainvilleas were actually A plant grows out.

Long Junfan interjected, "I want to know what kind of treasure Dragon Po is looking for?"

Bai Xi pointed to the Xuanyuan Sword on the tea table that Little Phoenix and the other six animals used to sit on it, "Could it be Xuanyuan Sword?"

"It's impossible for Dragon Po to know that Xuanyuan Sword is in Sea King Island." Long Junfan vetoed Bai Xi's guess. Xuanyuan Sword is a secret of the Dragon Clan. Only the patriarch knows this secret, and it is absolutely impossible for Dragon Po, an outsider, to know.

However, if Long Po is not looking for Xuanyuanjian, then what is she looking for?With Luang Phor's death, it became a mystery again.

Su Chen said, "That child is also very suspicious."

Yue Yu's eyes turned cold, this child must be found.

Xiao Chunqiu said: "I think that child may not be found."

"Why?" Only by finding the child can we know who gave him the spell. For this mysterious person who wants to kill himself, Xuanxuan wants to know who he is more than anyone else.

Xiao Chunqiu rubbed his forehead, and said helplessly: "All the children on this Neptune Island are missing. We almost turned the Neptune Island upside down, not to mention people, not even a single hair was found."

"So I think those dozens of children may have left Neptune Island. I have asked Uncle Hu to notify the marine police to keep an eye on the boats leaving Neptune Island, hoping to find those children." However, Shangguanxuan faintly felt that these The child may never be found.

Originally, Xuanxuan was safe and sound, and with the Xuanyuan Sword, everyone was in a good mood, but now they all feel that all this is full of fog, and unknown dangers lurk around them, making people dare not relax at all.

next day

Xuanxuan and Yueyu went to the canteen at Jiuqu and Eighteen Bends.Bai Xi, Long Junfan and Xiao Chunqiu also followed.Su Chen, Miao Muqing and Feng Wu stayed in the villa to deal with matters.

Looking at the withered bougainvillea in front of him, Xiao Chunqiu was startled.

What happened to this, how did it wither overnight?

Probably because the bougainvillea is dead, the rotten smell is much weaker, and you can hardly smell it if you don't smell it carefully.

The trunk of a tree hugged by several people is like cotton that has been squeezed dry, becoming only as thick as one person hugs.

Bai Xi didn't know what kind of mentality she had, she stepped forward and hugged the shrunken tree trunk and shook it. Long Junfan was about to make fun of him saying "a gnat may shake a big tree", but before he could say a word, he heard a loud noise, There was also a sound of Bai Xi's exclamation——

"...!"

Before Xuanxuan and the others had time to react, they saw Bai Xi holding the withered bougainvillea and falling into the big pit that suddenly appeared.

It was Little Phoenix and Little White Tiger who reacted quickly and rushed to save people in the first place.

Bai Xi, who was dragged up by the little Phoenix and the little white tiger, was still in shock, and cursed: "Damn, I almost killed me." After cursing, he hugged the little white tiger and rubbed his arms: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, I love you so much. "

Long Junfan couldn't help saying: "You deserve it, who made you shake your hands so much."

Bai Xi curled her lips and turned to thank Xiao Fenghuang.

When Bai Xi fell, Yue Yu and Xuan Xuan were studying the large and small round stones. These stones were piled up in a mess in one corner of the cave. The careful Xuan Xuan found that there were many potholes around the bougainvillea tree. For comparison, Xuanxuan picked a stone and put it in one of the pits, just enough to fill the pit. The two looked at each other and felt that these stones had been moved. It was obvious that these stones were originally embedded in these pits. in the pit.

Who moved these stones?Did that person move the stones in anticipation of their pursuit here? …I originally thought that the case of Wang Wu and the others had come to light, but now it seems that there are still many ulterior secrets hidden behind this case.

Xuanxuan and Yueyu were about to try to put these stones back to their original places, when they heard Bai Xi's exclamation, and then saw Bai Xi fall into it.

The incident happened suddenly, and when he wanted to go forward to save someone, Xiao Fenghuang and Xiao Baihu had already dragged Bai Xi up.

"Good job." Xuan Xuan greatly praised the bravery of Little Phoenix.

"I want mango ice cream." Little Phoenix begged for the reward.

Hyun Hyun agreed.

Hearing Xiao Fenghuang speak human words, Xiao Chunqiu's eyes straightened, did he hear wrongly, he actually heard a bird begging for dessert?

Xuan Xuan didn't notice Xiao Chunqiu's hellish expression, his attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of a big hole.

This big pit is extremely deep, and with the sunlight shining in from above, Xuan Xuan noticed that there seemed to be something in the pit, after he saw clearly what it was, in Xiao Chunqiu's eyes, the calm and calm Xuan Xuan fell down. took a breath—

Yue Yu also saw what was in the pit, and the two looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"You think so?" Xuanxuan asked Yueyu in a low voice.

Yue Yu nodded, since Xuan Xuan also thought so, it meant that they were right.

Xuan Xuan sighed, "Let Long Junfan come over and have a look."

Yue Yu complied, and turned around to call Long Junfan.

Hearing the difference in Yue Yu's tone, Long Junfan couldn't help being surprised, so he walked over.

Before he could speak, he heard Xuan Xuan say: "You have to be prepared."

The pit is full of bones.

Long Junfan frowned, it's not a scary thing to have bones in this pit, what does Xuanxuan's words mean?

Xiao Chunqiu at the side suddenly gasped: "What kind of bone is this, it doesn't look like a human bone."

Long Junfan looked carefully at the bones again, the more he looked at them, the more he couldn't control himself, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Shock, anger, sadness... Long Junfan's face was contorted as all kinds of emotions surged into his heart.

Xiao Jinlong and Xiao Jiao opened their eyes wide, staring blankly at the bones in the pit.

Bai Xi asked Xuanxuan in a low voice: "Are these all dragon bones?"

Xuan Xuan nodded.

The deep pit is full of incomplete keels, and none of the skeletons are complete.

If it was broken after death, at least he didn't suffer too much. If it was before death... Bai Xi shuddered, unable to imagine what kind of torture these dragons had suffered.

Long Junfan didn't say a word, his face was extremely ugly.

Bai Xi wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say. She glanced at Xuan Xuan and Yue Yu, Xuan Xuan shook her head, and Bai Xi sighed secretly. Comfort is just a layer of gauze wrapped around the wound, and there is still pain inside the wound.

The atmosphere was silent.

After a long time, Long Junfan said in a hoarse voice: "I want to go down and have a look."

"Be careful, call us if you need anything," Yue Yu said.

Xuan Xuan and the others did not choose to go down with Long Junfan, because they knew that Long Junfan didn't need it.

Bai Xi squatted by the pit, touched the little white tiger next to his feet, and said in a low voice: "Long Junfan must be very sad." If it was him, but without Long Junfan's self-control ability, his eyes would have turned red up.

Xuan Xuan patted Bai Xi's shoulder, but said nothing.

After Long Junfan went down, there was no movement. Bai Xi was a little worried, and looked around from time to time.

Xuanxuan and Yueyu continued to play with those stones. Because of the deep pit, it would be impossible to restore these boulders to their original shape. Xuanxuan thought that even if they could restore some of them, he felt that these stones might be important clues .

Xiao Chunqiu originally wanted to help, but suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, he leaned close to Xuanxuan, carefully handed over a piece of paper, and said in an awkward manner: "Shangguanxuan asked me to give it to you, I forgot."

Xuan Xuan took it and asked, "What is it?"

Xiao Chunqiu scratched his face, "Well...these are the original appearance of these stones you played with."

"..."

"Well, I should thank you for remembering at last."

Xiao Chunqiu looked at the sky, he didn't do it on purpose.

Looking at the round stones arranged in a seven-pointed star drawn by Shangguanxuan, Xuanxuan looked a little dignified.

Yue Yu took the paper and looked at it, "Is it a formation?"

"Well, it's a relatively ancient seven-star gathering spirit array. From this point of view, these boulders are not ordinary stones."

Who set up this formation?Gathering spirits, could it be that the formation was deliberately placed on top of the dragon bones?Or did someone move these incomplete dragons here to provide aura for this formation?What kind of thing does this gathering spirit array support?This mutated bougainvillea? ...Xuanxuan immediately denied this idea. Although he didn't know what the spirit gathering array was raising, it was certain that this thing had been taken away, otherwise this bougainvillea tree would not have suddenly disappeared. withered.

There are more and more doubts, and the cocoon that wraps the truth has formed a thick layer.Xuanxuan felt a throbbing pain in his head, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, their opponent was really a terrifying person.

An hour later, Long Junfan finally came up.

Bai Xi observed his face, it was more gloomy than before, and he was almost frozen to death.Bai Xi reckoned that there were far more bones of the dragon clan below the deep pit than the ones seen from above, as you can tell from Long Junfan's appearance.

Before leaving, Long Junfan asked Xuanxuan to burn all the bones of the dragon clan.

The raging fire burned for a full day. Watching the last embers go out, Long Junfan, who stood like a stone statue all day, knelt down and kowtowed, then turned around and got into the car, and drove away.

That day, Xuanxuan and his party left Neptune Island.

***

Lan Wu and the others waited on Neptune Island for a day. They did not dare to go ashore for fear of being retaliated against. The tragic death of Cheng Ling and the others has become a shadow in everyone's mind. They are worried that they will end up like this. The eight of them stayed on the boat all the time. , Waiting for orders in the waters near Neptune Island.

After receiving the notice from the chief steward, Lan Wu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and they could finally leave this damn Neptune Island.

Drive the boat a thousand nautical miles away from Neptune Island, and sure enough, as the butler said, there is a small island there.

Not far from the island, a seven-story giant ship is moored.There are seven very eye-catching roses of seven colors embedded in the white hull.

When they got ashore, they saw a large group of children chasing and running on the beach, laughing and joking, Lan Wu and eight of them couldn't help being dumbfounded, and it took a long time before they came back to their senses.

Under the tree not far from the beach, there is a huge sun umbrella, under which there is a small round table and two chairs.The big butler and a delicate-looking kid about ten years old were sitting there playing chess.

On the chessboard, black and white pieces are fighting fiercely.

"Housekeeper, I got the Xuanyuan Sword." Lan Wu saluted respectfully, offering the Xuanyuan Sword with both hands.

The butler took the gold box, opened it and took out the long sword glowing with colorful streamers, rubbed it back for a while, raised his head and smiled at Lan Wu and the others: "You guys have done a good job. You have worked hard, let's go down and rest first. "

Lan Wu hesitated to speak: "Cheng Ling and the others—"

Before Lan Wu could finish speaking, the big housekeeper said, "They belong to the second housekeeper."

Lan Wu was speechless.

Hei Sang glanced left and right secretly, didn't it mean that the master came too, as if he wasn't there.

Wanting to take a few more glances, he turned his head and met the eyes of the child sitting next to the butler.

The child showed an innocent smile towards Hei Sang, but Hei Sang felt a chill go down his spine, he didn't dare to look any more, and walked quickly behind Lan Wu.

The child held his chin, picked up a white chess piece and put it on the board, and said with regret: "I didn't expect to lose four people and still not be able to change the life of the son of the phoenix. The phoenix, the immortal bird, how can there be such a thing between heaven and earth?" Such a species that I hate." Throwing the white chess in his hand back into the chess jar, the child was a little discouraged, "I can't play anymore, you step back, I want to be alone for a while...Take this counterfeit away too, It's an eyesore."

"Yes, master." The butler said respectfully.
