Night Tales

Chapter 14 The Land of the Phoenix

Today's Luoying lives day and night, I don't know when, and there is nothing to do.She was not used to being taken care of, so she dismissed the maid arranged by Lu Chengxi, took off her shoes and lay down on the bed.At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Big sister, it's me."

Luo Ying recognized that it was the girl who was almost driven away, Luo Ying thought for a while, her name seemed to be Xiaodie.She got up, groped her way to the door, opened it, and asked, "What's the matter, little sister?"

"What is Big Sister doing?" Xiaodie asked.

"Going to bed, what's the matter?"

"Look at big sister's face is so messy, she hasn't taken a bath yet, how about I help big sister take a bath?"

"No need, I'm not feeling well these two days, and I can't take a shower. Just wipe my face, can my little sister fetch some water for me?"

"Big sister is so boring staying in the house all the time. There are a lot of flowers blooming in the yard and it smells delicious. Let me take you to the well outside to wash your face."

"Well, thank you then." Luo Ying agreed, and Xiaodie smiled sweetly at her, and took her hand and stepped out of the threshold.

Although Xiaodie is a child, she takes care of others as carefully and thoughtfully as an adult.Luo Ying stepped steadily on the two-story staircase with twists and turns.Before leaving the door of the main hall, the intoxicating fragrance of flowers has already rushed over.

"What do Xiaodie's parents do?"

"My father and mother are servants of a rich family. Because I am the second child in the family, they don't like me very much and always make things difficult for me."

"Why is the second child making things difficult for you?"

"Father likes my sister, and mother likes my younger brother. My sister and younger brother will beat me if they make mistakes."

"This kind of parents is really hateful. Why don't you go with my sister, who has a younger sister at home, and you can keep her company."

"Does your sister dislike me?"

"No, my sister was brought up by me, she is very good."

"Okay, okay! I can help my sister wash the dishes and clothes. I am very diligent."

"No need, we are not a big family, and we don't have these distinctions between masters and servants."

Xiaodie led her to stand by the well, and went to get the wooden basin.Luo Ying heard her footsteps from near to far, and from far to near.

Then there was the sound of putting a basin, shaking a pulley, and pouring water.

There happened to be a stone platform beside the well, Xiaodie put the basin on the stone platform, sprinkled some flower petals into the water, and helped Luo Ying wash it.Luo Ying secretly blamed Lu Chengxi, such a sensible child, why did she insist on saying that her intentions were not right?

"Take me to smell the flowers!" Luo Ying said.Xiaodie agreed, and helped her walk to the well.

"Big sister, be careful, there is a big rock here, I'll help you over it." Xiaodie stopped, stretched out her hand and dragged Luo Ying's leg up, and stepped over the edge of the well, Luo Ying's center of gravity tilted forward with her steps .Xiaodie said: "Okay, it's time to land." Luo Ying stepped on it.

empty!Luo Ying groaned inwardly, she stretched out her hand to grab something, following the momentum of the fall, it landed on the edge of the well.Seeing that Xiaodie didn't fall, she picked up the stone she had prepared in advance and threw it at her head.Luo Ying was in pain, screamed, and "plopped" into the water, the well water was icy cold, which made her shiver, but she didn't panic, she shouted: "Xiaodie, why are you doing this?"

But Xiaodie didn't speak, and lifted another stone above her head.

Lu Chengxi went out to do errands, Zheheng stayed in the pavilion, heard the screams and the sound of falling into the water in the distance, knew that something happened to Luo Ying, and went to the corridor to look around, only to see Xiaodie climbed up the edge of the well and was about to Throw a stone into the water.In desperation, Zhe Heng shot forward with a burst of force, hitting the back.The little girl swayed and fell forward. Zhe Heng saw that she was about to fall into the well, and when she stepped on her leg, she flew down and grabbed her falling leg, threw the child's body away, let down the well rope, and pulled Luo Shadow pulled up.Luo Ying stood on the ground wet, her shoulders were flushed, shivering from the cold.

"I'll take you to the doctor." Zheheng said.

"What's going on, Xiaodie?"

"You don't mind being killed by me."

Luo Ying shook her head.

"Let's go." Zheheng said.

Luo Ying nodded. At this time, everyone in the building poked their heads out to see the movement. There was a little girl lying on the ground. Everyone guessed whether she was alive or dead.Zheheng looked around the crowd and said: "You have seen what happened today. If anyone has evil intentions and plots against others in the future, this will be your fate. You..." She pointed to the two people standing together. Xiaosi: "Dispose of her body for me."

When Lu Chengxi came back, before he could speak, she buried her head in the quilt and began to cry.Lu Chengxi persuaded: "Don't cry, your eyes are not healed yet, if you keep crying, be careful not to go blind."

"Am I stupid?" Luo Ying asked.

"You're not stupid." Lu Chengxi said.Luo Ying's heart turned cold, she was so stupid that she was not worthy of scolding.

"Simply stupid."

"..."

"But... I can't blame you. The experience of 20 years old and the experience of 80 years old are incomparable. When you are older and have more experience, you will naturally have a way to see people. In the future, you need to learn more Be careful, if you want to talk to people when you see them, you don’t know if you’re talking nonsense.”

"I don't know." This sentence made Luo Ying feel uncomfortable.She has always treated people sincerely, she doesn't know how to intrigue, and she doesn't bother to intrigue, and she doesn't want to deal with such duplicitous people.If Lu Chengxi is this kind of person...

"Are you talking nonsense when you see people, or talking nonsense when you see ghosts?"

"If necessary."

"I don't need it." Luo Ying turned over and turned her back to him: "I want to go home."

"Well, I'll take you back when you're better."

"I don't need you to send it, I can return it myself."

"Well, good." Lu Chengxi said: "I know you have misunderstood me, I don't want to explain. You just need to know one thing, I have no malice towards you."

"You know that I already have a husband, but you still want to seduce me."

"I might as well tell you that I have seduced eight young women if not ten. There are also quite a few men who fight with me. If I am not an orphan and have brothers and sisters, even Luan Lun is not impossible."

"You..." Luo Ying turned to face him, wanting his expression to tell her that he was joking, but the black gauze blocked her eyes.

Lu Chengxi said: "I am very depraved, but I like sunshine." Lu Chengxi patted Luo Ying on the shoulder, turned and walked out the door.

A few days later, the gauze from Luo Ying's eyes was removed. Regardless of the wound on her head, she rode a horse and rushed back to her hometown.

Lu Chengxi pushed everything to Zheheng and went back to the night realm.

A year later, Emperor Qing returned with Brahma.

In front of the Shenxin Pavilion, Fuyu clapped her hands and laughed loudly, because the little boy beside her was being beaten by Chen Ji.

"If you keep shitting and peeing, believe it or not, I'll snap your ass off and throw it against the wall!"

When Emperor Qing fell to the ground, the turbulent wind caused the little boy to gnaw the mud, lay on the ground, and groaned.Chenzhu and Fuyu used their internal energy to slow down their figures.

"Eldest sister!" Fan Yi opened his hands and ran towards Chen He, who picked her up with a smile, and said, "Little darling, give me a kiss, um, um." Chen He pecked her face twice, and asked: "Do you want me?"

"think."

"Is it fun to follow Mistress?"

"It's not fun, she's so fierce. It's better to be a big sister."

"Don't be fierce, how can I restrain you." Chen Xi put Fan Yi down, and said to Fu Yu: "Yu'er, I have seen my ancestor."

"Old Ancestor, I'm not afraid of you." Fuyu raised his wooden sword and said to Emperor Qing.

"Little bastard, try to move me."

Try it, try it, Fuyu raised his sword and rushed towards Qingdi, Qingdi didn't wait for her to get close, he raised his foot and kicked her ten feet away.

Fan Yi tugged on Chen Zhi's sleeve and said, "That's how she kicked me."

Qingdi grasped his strength well, although Fuyu was in pain, she was not injured. She stood up, danced a sword flower, jumped up, fell from a high altitude, and the wooden sword slashed at the top of Qingdi's head.

"Crack!" This time Fuyu was kicked twenty feet away.

"Yu'er, I'll help you!" The boy got up from the ground, raised his sword and rushed forward.Emperor Qing followed suit and kicked him thirty feet away.

"Good kick, my wife is so good!" Chen Yu cheered and applauded.

At this moment, Fuyu discusses with Chan, and the two attack together, and end up being kicked together.One person moved forward, the other fell to the ground, and even turned a few somersaults.

"Hurry up and applaud." Chen Yu yelled at Fan Yi, who pouted and glared at her angrily.

"Have you had enough trouble?" Qing Emperor shouted.Chen Yu hurriedly pulled the two children apart: "Yu'er, Cicada, stop beating them."

Cicada's eyes and nose were swollen more than an inch, and she sat on the ground and cried.Fuyu wanted to fight again, but Chenhe grabbed her and said, "Okay, Yu'er, this person can't be beaten."

Fuyu said: "Why beat her even if you beat her?"

Emperor Qing reprimanded Chen Zhi, "Is this how you teach children?"

Chen Xi secretly rolled his eyes, this kid has the same virtue as you, but he has the guts to blame me.The slander belongs to the slander, but the apologetic expression on his face is very sincere: "Chen's education is not good, and I hope my teacher will punish me."

"Hmph." Emperor Qing couldn't see that her duplicity was perfunctory, and said: "Look at her carefully, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between master and apprentice."

"Follow Master's instructions."

"Also, if she learns from your slick tongue, I will give you good fruit to eat."

Before Chen Yu agreed, the Qing Emperor had already disappeared.

Fuyu was insulted by Emperor Qing, and he felt dissatisfied, and suddenly he was so angry that he vomited blood.

"Yu'er!" Chen Zhu was startled, and held her in his arms to feel her pulse.

"The old problem is committed, Yi'er, please save her."

Fuyu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said: "When I grow up, I will definitely beat her up."

"Beat your head, she is your ancestor, do you know that her blood is flowing in your body?"

"She bullied me."

"Does it hurt?" Fan Yi asked Fu Yu's hand.

"pain."

"Where does it hurt?"

"Chest hurts."

"Does it hurt where she kicked?"

"No...it doesn't hurt."

"Look, she didn't hurt you, but you hurt yourself." Fan Yi took out a white stone from his sleeve and handed it to her: "This is what she gave you. You press the curse on it at night Wen urges it to light up the whole house."

"Is this Ye Mingzhu?" Fuyu turned the pearl in her hand, looked into Fanyi's eyes, her heart suddenly calmed down, but she didn't notice it.

"The night pearl is not so bright. This is fluorite. There is only one stone that falls from the sky in the whole world."

"She doesn't hurt, but I still hurt!" The little boy walked over with a limp, and cried to the dust: "Eldest sister, look, my face is swollen."

"Who are you?" Fan Yi asked.

"This is my senior brother's son, called Chan. Chan, this is Fanyi."

"Ah, you are that monster!" Cicada cried.

"I'm not a monster."

"You are a monster, Daddy said you are a monster."

"Cicada, do you still want to swell up your face?" Chen Xi said coldly.

"Hmph, anyway, no one likes me, the more swollen, the more swollen." Chan pursed his mouth and said, his expression was full of grievances, he suddenly realized that he was not liked by others, and became even more sad, muttered a few words, turned and walked away up.

"This child, you come back." Chenzhu hugged Fuyu, and it was inconvenient to chase after him, so he asked Fanyi, "How is Yu'er, does it matter?"

"It's a heart disease. She'll be fine if she doesn't get angry."

"That's good, you two can play by yourself." Chenzhu handed Fuyu to Fanyi, and ran away after Cicada, Fuyu said to Fanyi: "Don't pay attention to him, that person is a crybaby."

"He doesn't seem to like me, should I go to him and make up?"

"It's okay, if you don't like it, you don't like it, I just like you." Fuyu stood up, pulled Fanyi and said: "Look at my clothes are dirty, you can go back with me and change clothes."

"Your chest doesn't hurt anymore?"

"Whether it hurts or not, I'm used to it. Let's go."

The two returned to the jade house together, and Fan Yi was very sad to see that his house was full of things belonging to Fuyu: "This is my house."

"Ah, it doesn't have your name written on it either."

"You are unreasonable."

"Or...I allow you to sleep in the same bed with me."

"I won't do it."

"I'll just do it. It's fun for two of us to sleep together. At night we can talk and watch the stars together...you...what's the matter with you, are you sick?"

Fan also frowned, feeling that he was going to be sick, in order not to let Fuyu see the clue, he hurriedly left her and flew more than 20 miles in one breath, falling into the prehistoric ocean current...

In the end, Fan Yi still decided to go to Chan for reconciliation. She grinded a medicine for reducing swelling and inflammation, and went to Chan's house. At this time, Chan was sitting on the open space and playing house. Seeing Fan Yi, she jumped up and said: "Monster, what are you doing here?"

"I'll bring you medicine."

"I don't want your medicine, who knows if you will poison me to death."

"Will not."

"I don't believe it, you monster."

"Eldest sister said I'm not a monster."

"You are a monster, you are not a monster, who is a monster, whoops!" Cicada suffered from head pain and turned her head, but Fuyu stood behind him, threatening: "If you dare to bully her again, I will beat you."

"Yu'er!" Cicada said happily, "Yu'er take me to play."

"If you can beat me, I will play with you."

"I can't bear to hit you."

"Then I won't play with you either." Fuyu passed through the cicada, walked in front of Fanyi, and said, "Yi'er, I saw a phoenix just now, it's so big and beautiful, but she flew away, take me there Would you like to see Phoenix?"

"The phoenix flies very far, you still have to learn."

"It's okay, Li Xia went home to mourn for her mother, and the eldest sister asked me to rest today." Fuyu shook Fan Yi's hand, and said, "I'm bored in Shenbi Peak every day, and my face is almost fluffy. Hurry up Let's go out and play."

"Then I'll take you to see the world."

Fan also raised his head and called out: "Xuanqi!"

A giant black bird came from the sky covering the sky and the moon. Cicada had never seen such a big bird before, so she hid behind the house in fright.Fuyu made a shy gesture to her, jumped onto Xuanqi and waved at Cicada.

"Wow, where are you going, I want to tell the eldest sister."

The two had already left the Magic Brush Peak, how could they still hear his words.

Xuan Qi flew above the clouds, looking at his feet, there was a scarlet land, accompanied by a gloomy ghostly aura.

"Look, my home! That's Yuque Palace." Fuyu pointed to Fanyi.Fan also followed her line of sight and saw a majestic palace halfway up the south side of Cangyu Mountain, looming in the flowing clouds.

"It's a pity that it has been destroyed." Fu Yu hugged Fan Yi, saying with hatred.Fan Yi felt sad, she dared not tell her that her home was destroyed by him.

"Yi'er, can you fly a little lower?"

"Xuan Qi, fly lower."

Xuan Qi let out a long cry, circled around, and fell under the clouds.

At this time, the scene of Yuque became clearer. I saw that the earth was dry, the vegetation withered, the birds and beasts disappeared, and the huge hidden jade mountain was completely dark, without any spiritual energy. This scene made Fuyu suddenly feel sad. This is her How can such a home be considered a home?

"I heard that it hasn't rained in Yuque for ten years. Look, those people are diverting water from the sky to irrigate the vegetation in Yuque." Fuyu pointed to some small moving spots on the ground along a dry river. .Fan Yi only remembered at this moment that the collapse of the heavenly steps broke the tributaries of the Tianshui, causing the Tianshui that had fallen into various parts of the Yuque to pour into the wild ocean currents.The prehistoric ocean current influxes a large amount of water for no reason, and the tide will rise every two years. The flood will submerge Zangyu Mountain, move along the trough, meet the ground current, and cause the ground current to spread.

"The jade tower has already become like this, and they still want to rebuild the jade tower. But they don't know when it will be completed?"

"Does Yuer also want to rebuild Yuque?"

"Of course, this is my home. Parents will come back when the home is built. You see, they are building a village over there. I heard that this is all paid for by my eldest sister."

As the two talked, they had already flown out of the night realm. Fuyu saw the scenery in Mortal Realm, which was completely different from the barren and desolate Yuque, and was extremely surprised: "Wow, it's so beautiful."

"like or not?"

"like."

"Maybe one day your home will become like this."

"How is that possible? Yuque is not suitable for living anymore. Where are we going? I'm a little cold."

"Go to see Fenghuang, but I don't know if it is there. It is very old and misses home a bit, but its home is gone."

"Why is there no home for it?"

"Destroyed."

"Its home was also destroyed, so where is its home?"

"It's far away. Where we can't go."

The two flew westward, and the night in Mortal Land was solemn and quiet.Xuan Qi's speed is thousands of miles in an instant, but the scenery under his feet is moving slowly.Fuyu shivered and held her behind Fanyi, even though she was from the Yan tribe, her body was full of scorching blood.But she was still a child, unable to resist such a severe cold wind.

Fan Yi also regretted taking her out at this time, because the destination might be even colder.

"Why don't we go back."

"No, I don't know how long it will take to come out after I go back. I can bear it, you fly."

After some time, Xuan Qi has already flown to the end of the mortal world.

Suddenly, a stronger gust of cold wind blew, mixed with gravel-like shattered ice, and it hurt people's faces.Fuyu couldn't help hugging Fanyi even tighter, and buried her face on her back.As the cold wind blew, Fuyu raised her head, and a pure white world unfolded in front of her.

"Where is this?"

"This is called the Land of the Extremes of Heaven, a place where there is day and night."

"Is the Phoenix here?"

"Well, there." Fan Yi pointed to the front, a towering snow-capped mountain, the sky and the earth are the same color, thousands of miles from east to west, stretching endlessly, majestic, but lifeless.

When they got closer, they realized that there were phoenix's cold corpses everywhere.

"What's the matter, why are they all dead?" Fuyu asked.

"They were all killed by the Queen of Heaven. There..." Fan Yi pointed to the center of the snow-capped mountain: "The one who sealed it is the Phoenix King." Fan Yi wanted to let Xuan Qi fly closer.However, Xuan Qi swooped down and landed at the foot of the mountain, knelt down with his head facing King Feng, and refused to get up.

"Phoenix King, is it dead?" Fuyu looked towards the snow-capped mountain, and there was a huge body hidden in the depths of the ice, red all over, extremely huge.

"It's not dead, it's Phoenix King." Fan Yi pulled Fu Yu off Xuan Qi's body, pointed to the other side of the mountain and said, "There's still a big phoenix forest over there, do you want to take a look?"

"I have a question for you."

"what is the problem."

"Are you and your ancestors practicing here?"

"No."

"Then how do you know this?"

"Of course I know, there is a kind of ability called fugue... You are too young, and you don't even understand it."

"Aren't you young too?"

"I'm already a thousand... Forget it, I don't want to discuss age with you." Seeing that Fuyu's face was as cold as a pig's trotter, Fan Yi hurriedly took off his coat and put it on her body. "Let's go see the phoenix tree, it won't be cold there." She pulled Fuyu, tiptoed, and reached the top of the mountain in an instant.

It turns out that to the south of the mountain is a vast ice field, but to the north is a sycamore forest.The winds from the north and the south converge on the top of the mountain to form an upward airflow. The airflow is like a mirror, reflecting the scenery on both sides, forming a bizarre picture.

Fan Yi pulled Fuyu through the airflow, and the breeze was blowing towards him, his eyes were full of greenery.In the center of the phoenix forest, a towering tree covered the sky and covered half of the phoenix forest. A phoenix lived on the top of the tree.Fan could also see the tears, but Fuyu couldn't. Fan also said, "It's crying."

"Why is she crying?"

"She probably hopes that I can rescue its owner. But its owner is sealed by the most powerful force in this world, and only Daddy's supreme glass can open it."

"You have a father too?"

"My father is dead."

"I'm sorry to bring up your sadness."

"It doesn't matter, although he died, he has always been with me."

"I will also accompany you." Fuyu said.

Fan also smiled, noncommittal.

"It would be great if I could have a phoenix pet, so that I can also fly into the sky and be accompanied by white clouds."

"The phoenix is ​​noble and pure by nature, and it's not something ordinary people can control at will."

"The eldest sister said that I am not an ordinary person."

Fan Yi glanced at her contemptuously, not knowing where her self-confidence came from.

"Do you really want a phoenix?" Fan Yi reconfirmed.

"En." Fuyu nodded seriously: "What's the use of thinking, the Phoenix is ​​not mine."

"Let's go pick up some sycamore seeds and plant them on the steps of the sky." Fan Yidang jumped down first, fell into the forest and rolled, the whole world suddenly became extremely noisy, birds chirping and flying out from the depths of the forest, The sky hugs away.

Fuyu's heart itched, no matter how high the mountain was, she jumped down.Halfway down, his figure was crooked, and his center of gravity was tilted up. He was about to hug the ground, so Fuyu yelled: "Wow, help!"

Fan also recited a mantra silently, and the sycamore leaves under his feet suddenly strung up, forming a whirlwind, wrapping the jade in the middle, and the jade slowly fell, stepping firmly on the ground.

This trip was not well prepared, within half a day, Fuyu was hungry again and again, and Fan had no choice but to return to Yuque.When I got out of the land of extreme heaven, it was already daytime in all realms.The blazing sun shone in the sky, making Fuyu unable to open his eyes.

"It hurts." Fuyu said.

Fan also instructed Xuan Qi to go faster.Fuyu could only hear the wind blowing in her ears, she couldn't help but want to take a look at the scene in front of her, opened her eyes a little, and the scorching sun burned her eyes, she quickly closed them again.Wait until it has calmed down a bit, and then open it again, so that you can finally look at the ground under your feet by opening and closing your eyes continuously.

"Where did the two brats come from?"

Ahead, two heavenly soldiers patrolled here, saw the two children on Xuan Qi's back, knew it must be something extraordinary, they flew close, only to find that there was a person from the night clan.The two celestial soldiers are both new recruits and have never seen the celestial core, so they don't know each other.Seeing Fuyu at this moment, how could she escape, she flashed her spear and flew towards the two of them. "Bold monsters, trespassing on the heavens, leaving their lives behind!"

"There are enemies!" Fuyu exclaimed in shock.

"do not be afraid."

"I'm not afraid." Fuyu called out a dagger and jumped on Xuanxi's head. The two heavenly soldiers had already killed him, and Fan Yi hurriedly said, "Come back!" With a jump of his head, he was meeting one of the celestial soldiers who came to kill him. Fuyu was still a child, so he was no match for the celestial soldiers.Fan was shocked, Xuan Qi also knew that the situation was critical, so he swooped down and caught Fuyu in mid-air.Suo Xing Fuyu's natural talent is abnormal, with abundant internal energy, only a scratch on his arm.

Fan Yi was furious. Seeing the two heavenly soldiers flying again, he stretched out his hand and slapped the two of them from the air. The good people instantly exploded into a blood mist. Fuyu was shocked and grabbed Xuan Qi's body urgently. Feather stared blankly at the two clusters of red mist spreading in the sky.Looking back at Fan Yi, she saw her distorted face and red eyes, like a ghost crawling out of hell, revealing endless hatred and anger.

The little girl who was as tall as her, who was talking and joking with herself in front of her, turned around and turned into a monster she couldn't understand.She was afraid, she wanted to escape.Xuan Qi's back is so small, she doesn't know where to go.She never knew what fear was, but now she was trembling all over, and her young heart was overwhelmed by fear.
