Chapter 70
As usual, after the problem was resolved, the following plot can be described as warm and plain, until Zhu Changan was thrown into a "C" shape by a sudden drift.
A man in black robe suddenly appeared and headed straight for Mo Xuanji.
[Damn! Forget about these guys, this is coming for Xuan Ji!]
[This should be the Qiongqi. The puppeteer said his main mission is to find the "lock." Xuanji has so many hanging on her body, could one of them be the one they're looking for?]
[It's possible. This wave, this wave, isn't it just the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole is behind?]
[I understand, Qiongqi is also a bird! ]
【？ 】
Qiongqi seems really strong. Xuanji is unconscious now. Changan and Sister Shen are also at the end of their strength. They are completely powerless.
[So judging by this situation, could it be that my wife Yuheng is going to come to the rescue? Looking forward to it.]
[Rubbing hands in anticipation, my main character hasn't appeared in a long time, I miss him]
[Hey, I was wondering why this feels familiar. Isn't Qiongqi one of the four great beasts in mythology? He likes treacherous people and hates loyal and kind people. That makes sense!]
[Holy crap, it really is! According to the mythological story, isn't Qiongqi a feline? So, can I give him catnip to make him lose his fighting power?]
Good idea!
【And you, my friend, at this moment you are the real genius! 】
A myth? Mo Xuanji was stunned for a moment. This seemed to be a source of information he had never thought of.
"Sure enough, stereotypes are very harmful." Although ordinary people are currently kept in the dark and know nothing about the real world, nothing is absolute, and some information will always be passed down in some way.
With this thought, Mo Xuanji exited the comic book page and opened a browser search. Soon, some information popped up on the page.
Taotie, Hun Dun, Taowu, and Qiongqi—each of these beasts has its own relevant records. Although we don't know what the other three look like, the various descriptions of Taowu match up, suggesting that the myths and legends have a certain degree of credibility.
After saving the information of the other three beasts, Mo Xuanji somehow entered the word "Phoenix." As expected, the Phoenix also existed in mythology and legends*.
After the page loaded for a moment, some relevant information popped up quickly, but the first sentence made Mo Xuanji a little confused.
It is born from fire, and it will perish in fire. It is immortal, and it will be reborn in nirvana.
He knew that the phoenix had the ability to be reborn from the ashes, but this sentence seemed strange. It didn't seem like a description, but rather like a vague prophecy.
"Perhaps the person who compiled the information was an artistic young man?" Mo Xuanji didn't give it much thought. Most of these myths were compiled by later generations based on stories passed down orally by their ancestors, and some of them included artistic processing. The authenticity of the information remains to be verified.
After comparing multiple pieces of information, Mo Xuanji managed to sort out some potentially useful information.
According to legend, the phoenix, the only mythical beast in the world, is born with the duty to protect the world and maintain order. The phoenix is also unique in that only one can exist at any given time.
The phoenix exists independently of the six realms of reincarnation. For it, nirvana is a cycle of reincarnation. Everything in the past will be completely dissipated in the fire of nirvana. The newly born phoenix will have no memory of the past, and even its cultivation will be reset, starting all over again.
The most important point is that the feathers of phoenixes in all dynasties are bright red, bright and vivid like fire.
Mo Xuanji sighed softly: "It's really unlikely..."
The color of each generation of phoenixes will not change, and they will not give birth to offspring, so Mo Xuanji probably has nothing to do with the phoenix, and the flames are probably just a coincidence.
"Then what am I?" His voice was like a light feather, and no one could hear it except himself.
At this time, the barrage and comment areas are still lively.
[Ah, my natal star didn’t come, but my father-in-law (?) did?] This short sentence almost made Mo Xuanji’s vision go dark.
[Judging from her attributes, she should be Dragon Lord, or her mother-in-law... (uncertain tone)]
[It is Dragon Lord.]
[This look is killing me!!! (Shouting) Even though I'm Dragon Lord in my body right now, there's something strangely alluring about Xuan Ji with this expression! Honey, please keep looking at me like that!]
【Put on some pants! 】
[This black-robed man seems to know Long Zun?]
[Could it be my former boss? Or my current one…]
[That shouldn't be the case, right?]
[Hahaha my friends are going to be scared]
[It seems that Xuanji's parents still love him very much. Although they are not always by his side, you can see that they have left behind all the life-saving methods.]
Mo Xuanji: "..." She suddenly choked up. Where did these parents come from? They were just the unfortunate and miserable me pretending to be them.
[It seems that Xuanji is not completely unaware of his own life experience. He was not surprised at all after waking up, as if he had known this would happen.]
[But he told Sanhuo that he had no other relatives around him]
[Not having it doesn't mean not knowing. Sharp cigarette lighting.jpg]
【Master, I have realized it! 】
What the hell is Didi proxy betting? Hahaha, cool guy has also learned to talk nonsense seriously, but why is it not considered Didi proxy betting? 】
[Elementary awareness! My wife said "clan leader" instead of "acting clan leader", think carefully]
[Long Zun is probably the leader of a clan. His cubs are considered half dragons, so calling him clan leader seems reasonable.]
In the video, flames erupted from the wrecked car, quickly covering the entire screen. Amidst the blazing red flames, a white dialog box stood out.
"Hahahaha, how does it feel to kill your best friend with your own hands? Feng, Huang." The camera switched, and the picture showed Taowu's crazy and malicious smile.
Opposite the beast stood Yu Heng, dressed in black. He gently grasped the handle of his fan, his lips curled up, though this time the smile didn't reach his eyes. Behind him were countless slender energy groups burning with fiery red flames.
[Satisfied, my wife is here too, please give me more——]
[I guessed it right, Yuheng is indeed the Phoenix! Yay! I got the spicy noodles!]
[No wonder Yuheng and Xuanji have such similar eyes, it turns out they are really related]
[So, my wife...she's someone else's wife...and they even have a child (collapse)]
[Long Zun (successful person’s smile): Yes, we have a child.]
【crying】
[It doesn't matter, I'm not here to separate you, I'm here to join you]
[Add me, and the four of us living a good life is more important than anything else]
[Including me, there are five now]
[And me…]
So, in just a few minutes, a huge family was formed in the comment area, and the number of people was even rising. In order to grab the first number, they finally stopped saying anything strange and just reported the number directly.
Mo Xuanji didn't understand, and was deeply shocked. He really wanted to shake the black-robed man over to him so he could see it too. He didn't want to be the only one to suffer such a shock.
Although he didn't know what his own situation was, there was no way Mo Xuanji was the offspring of these two! No, there was no such relationship between Yu Heng and Long Zun!
Fortunately, there are still normal netizens in the comment section, which gave Mo Xuanji great comfort.
[No wonder Yuheng couldn't come over, it turns out he was being held back]
[We already have Qiongqi and Taowu. It seems the old thief really wants to put together a group of the Four Great Fierce Beasts.]
[But these two were beaten so badly hahahaha]
[Taowu, why are you so cowardly now? I still prefer your rebellious appearance at the beginning.]
[But if Yuheng is the Phoenix, then why didn't he go back? And he even appointed an acting clan leader.]
[The question is, who was this "he" that Sanhuo and the man surnamed Chen mentioned? I personally think there are two possibilities. The first is that the "he" they were talking about was Yuheng, and Yuheng may have been hesitant or unwilling to return to meet them. Furthermore, Xuanji had previously concealed her background and origins from Sanhuo, clearly wanting to avoid revealing their existence.
The second possibility is that they weren't talking about Phoenix at the time, but someone else. However, this possibility is less likely and there's no evidence to support it. Personally, I prefer the first possibility.
[My wife must have her reasons for doing this (serious face)]
[The progress bar indicates that things are not simple]
[There's more? Wow, this old thief is so prolific.]
After everything settled, the comic camera turned to the antique shop.
Across a tea table, Yuheng and a young man sat face to face, their eyes meeting. The two men, one on the left and one on the right, split the scene equally, appearing to be evenly matched.
Next to the young man, an identity box indicated his identity: Wanbaotang - Youlin.
"Does Wanbaotang have any ideas about how to deal with Taowu?" Yuheng asked lightly. Next to him was a ferocious beast the size of a palm.
Taowu seemed to have sensed some extremely terrifying information. He lay on the table unable to move, his face full of fear.
You Lin's eyes were indifferent, and he didn't even glance at Taowu. "Since you've subdued it, sir, you can do whatever you want with it. We at Wanbaotang are just dealing in jewelry and antiques, so we have no right to interfere."
Off-screen, Mo Xuanji let out a rare look of confusion. The comic had made this scene look like some high-ranking negotiation, even the innocent You Lin was portrayed as scheming.
I get it. It was probably Liuhe's bad taste that struck him again. After observing him for a while, Mo Xuanji discovered that Liuhe liked to prank people in harmless places and distort the facts. Netizens were silent at this, all misled in a strange direction.
For example, now.
[In three seconds, I want all the information about this person! ]
[Oh my god, a single earring! That's gonna cost me XP! It's a new wall hanging!]
[Hmm? Why is this earring the same color as Yuheng's fire? Was it intentional or an accident?]
[Is your color on me? Help, I feel so good for some reason. I'm sorry, Dragon Lord, I, I swear I'll only do it for one second!]
[Long Zun, come quickly! Someone wants to steal your wife! ]
[A new force has emerged. Could this You Lin be the head of Wanbaotang or a big boss there? Judging from this composition, the person sitting across from Yuheng must be of equal status. I'm betting on a boss.]
[I second the motion]
[This is hilarious. Taowu is actually kind of cute now that he's this small.]
[Show your face, little darling! Hahahaha]
The conversations between the bosses were indeed full of twists and turns. Although they were discussing very ordinary things, I always felt that they had reached some kind of agreement in front of me, but I was completely unaware of it.
Liuhe seemed determined to portray You Lin as a mysterious boss, and he didn't draw any of the worthless scenes at the end.
