Chapter 332
On the evening of the second day of autumn, the golden crow disappeared below the horizon, and the fallen leaves were so dull that they had lost their luster. Nine-Tailed Fox and the little phoenix did not wait until the familiar big tea tree woke up.
He stood in the afterglow of the sunset, like a very beautiful painting. When the wind blew, golden leaves fell from the treetops.
They waited under the tree for a long time, until it got darker and the dew got heavier, but they still didn't see any familiar people.
"The tea tree is too tired recently, so he needs to sleep longer." Kyuubi said, "right?"
"Come and wake him up tomorrow." The little phoenix squatted on the top of Jiuwei's head, "Jia Muying also needs to sleep in occasionally."
So they waited and waited, for many mornings, until the fruit trees they had planted had yielded several harvests, until the weeds on the ground had grown and withered, until mosses had climbed up the untended stone slabs, and until years had rotted the wooden roofs.
The little phoenix grew into a big phoenix, and was successfully transformed into a human form. His human form is still as graceful and beautiful as it was thousands of years ago. The influence of those alien beasts and plants has continued to this day.
He was much calmer than before Nirvana. As he officially grew into an adult, those scattered fragments of memory began to resurrect in his mind bit by bit.
The phoenix will forget everything after each nirvana and start over again. After adulthood, it will awaken its past memories bit by bit. At the end of its life, all its memories will come flooding back, reminding it of how many years it has lived and how many separations it has experienced.
Each time of nirvana, one will gain the memory of another life. There is no limit to the phoenix's nirvana, but each time it is shorter than the last. If nirvana fails and it cannot be reborn from the ashes, the next phoenix born in the world will be a new phoenix, which will have nothing to do with the previous one.
The big tea tree has been dormant for nearly four hundred years. After the golden leaves fell off, no new buds sprouted on the tree. Phoenix and Nine-Tailed Fox would input a large amount of spiritual power into the dormant tea tree at regular intervals to maintain its immortal form, but they knew very well that there was no consciousness in the tea tree, it was just an empty shell.
The beautiful building that the three of them had built together had been repaired and restored many times over the years. It still seemed to be the same building, but with every brick and tile, every blade of grass and every tree, there were fewer and fewer traces of the original.
In the 500th year, Kyuubi decided to leave.
"Since you were able to awaken him before with your vast merits," he said, "perhaps you can do so later."
Last time, both its body and soul were destroyed but it sprouted and grew again. This time, the shell is still there, so the difficulty may be much lower.
Phoenix stayed on the mountain. He still lived in the small building and would talk to the big tea tree from time to time. He would sometimes go to the human city. Bai Ze had become famous, but it was the third generation. The Bai Ze that Jia Muying had briefly met at the gate of Bu Zhuang had already fallen asleep in the years.
Phoenix would occasionally hear news about this new Bai Ze, saying that he had eliminated fallen beasts in certain places and protected the peace of certain cities.
Phoenix found that he seemed to have gotten used to loneliness.
I'm used to friends who come and go but can't be kept, and I'm used to the lingering loneliness after the hustle and bustle.
There are fewer and fewer degenerated alien plants in the world, but the number of degenerated monsters is increasing instead of decreasing. This is probably because plants have a long life span, and new alien plants have a long growth period after death, while monsters can be "resurrected" again after hundreds of years of death.
Humans no longer call mutated beasts and plants "fallen beasts". They call the substance that causes creatures to mutate "weird", and call all mutated beings "weird beasts".
According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, they made a detailed classification of all creatures in this world except humans, dividing them into auspicious beasts, ferocious beasts, catastrophic beasts and other categories. However, no matter what type, as long as they are infected by evil spirits, they will be uniformly judged as evil beasts.
In the thousand years that the Phoenix had been sleeping in the Big Tea Tree, it encountered a corrupted monster called Fei. The Phoenix should have killed all the monsters, but this Fei seemed not to have completely lost his mind. Tears fell to the ground from his only eye like beads with broken strings, but there was still some remnant of rationality in his eyes.
Phoenix hesitated.
The sword in his hand should have cut off Fei's neck without hesitation, but he didn't bring himself to do it.
He took Fei to find a high mountain with a similar climate to Mount Tai and close to his home. He used the abilities he had learned in two lifetimes and used all his spiritual power to seal it here. He also set up various protections and bans outside the mountain.
Perhaps one day we will be able to figure out a way to separate the evil spirits from the alien beasts. As long as this Fei keeps its remaining sanity and is not completely worn out by the formation, or destroys the formation to commit evil, it is possible that it will return to its original form. Even though the possibility is very low, if we seal it near our home, if it wants to run out and do evil, the Phoenix will be able to get rid of it before it does anything evil.
Life seemed to have returned to normal. In the following hundreds of years, Phoenix encountered several strange beasts one after another, but never found a special existence like Fei again.
In the 1,400th year of the Great Tea Tree's slumber, Phoenix left home and traveled across the wilderness. During his journey, he saw the Nine-Tailed Fox and stopped there for a short while.
Kyuubi no longer fights with him like he did when they were children. The longer he stays with humans, the more he becomes like a human. Or rather, like a human with many tricks.
Foxes are actually very smart creatures.
Seeing that Nine-Tailed Fox was living well, the Phoenix did not disturb him too much. He continued his journey until he caught a familiar scent on a mountain - not the friend he got to know after his Nirvana, but the friend he had thousands of years ago when he was the first phoenix born in the world.
On this mountain there lived a huge black snake that was several hundred meters long, ferocious and fierce. Phoenix had a fierce fight with it. The snake was badly beaten, with many big swellings on its body and many scales falling off.
Phoenix hadn't seen his old friend for a long time, and this snake had a familiar scent. Phoenix was particularly patient when it came to things he was determined to catch. The big black snake retracted into its shell, and Phoenix sat on its shell, guarding the shell and catching the snake.
Not eating or drinking for a short period of time would not affect the body of the alien beast, so Phoenix waited for him for half a year until the big black snake completely lost its temper.
Xuanwu was also convinced. Its diet was very diverse, and the birds flying in the sky were naturally on the menu. Because it was short-sighted and did not recognize that the gorgeous big bird flying in the sky had become intelligent and transformed, it tried to catch the bird as its prey, but was beaten up by the "prey" instead. The "prey" even squatted on its shell arrogantly, insisting on guarding it out.
Xuanwu's tortoise shell had been filled with food for years, but after half a year, it was already empty. It could only crawl out of the shell dejectedly, and turned its head to meet the eyes of the large bird with gorgeous feathers. It cried with a completely expressionless face and begged:
"I am wrong, senior. I was shortsighted at the time. Please forgive me..."
Phoenix looked at this snake which was completely different from the one six months ago. With his good eyesight, he couldn't find the snake's eyes for a moment. He just saw curled eyelashes when he looked from the side.
"Where is Canglong?" he asked bluntly.
He could see that this snake was not the reincarnation of Canglong. An incredible thought emerged in Fenghuang's mind - could it be that Canglong was still alive?
"I don't know who you are talking about, senior..." Xuanwu's guilty conscience was written all over his face, but fortunately his face was dark, and the phoenix couldn't see anything. However, judging from the frequency of his eyelashes twitching, he was not telling the truth. "What Canglong? I don't know him."
The phoenix's spiritual power condensed into a sharp knife and stabbed him in the face, sinking slightly: "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
"I, I, I said, although I don't know Canglong, I know where he is. Senior, please hold the knife away, I'm scared, please——" The threat from the seven inches and the panic of dying at any time made Xuanwu, who only had a scary appearance, rebel on the spot. The big black snake with a blue diamond crystal on its head burst into tears, and soon two small puddles were smashed on the ground. "Actually, you can ask me more. We, we don't need to threaten with force right away—"
He barely managed to swallow back his last tears. There was no other way; he still had to save his dignity.
Phoenix slowly scattered his knives and warned, "Don't play tricks."
Xuanwu nodded like a garlic, he changed himself to only two meters long, and did not forget to use his tail to bring the turtle body: "You come with me."
This evil spirit sounds like it has something to do with Canglong. Let Canglong solve the problem himself! It's just a weak, pitiful and helpless little black snake!
Phoenix followed Xuanwu as they walked through the twists and turns of the mountain. His posture seemed quite casual, but his eyes were always on the small black snake leading the way. If the snake made any unusual movements, he would be able to subdue or kill it in the first place.
Xuanwu had no intention of playing tricks, but he always felt cold on his back, and even his scales could not block the chilly feeling.
Xuanwu: QAQ
I wanted to get into its body right away, but there was no food inside!
After bringing Phoenix to a mountain wall, he stopped and said timidly, "Senior, Canglong is right here."
The Phoenix sensed an aura on the cliff that was even stronger than that from the black snake, but did not see any trace of the Canglong.
Phoenix frowned: "Where is it?"
"He's right inside this wall!"
Phoenix: "...?"
He looked at the little black snake, which was crying and hitting the mountain wall, in confusion: "When did I become his enemy?"
"You, you're not?" The little black snake cried and hiccuped, "If you weren't his enemy, why did you block me for half a year?"
If he was a friend, how could he not know where he was? If he was not an enemy, how could he be so obsessed with him!
"Canglong, come out! Don't hide from me, I know you are at home!" Xuanwu slapped the mountain wall so hard that it shook the sky. "Your friend is here to see you! Come out quickly! He said he is not your enemy, and he is serious!"
The little black snake certainly didn't look like it was lying, but the mountain wall in front of Phoenix was indeed motionless.
Phoenix walked to the front of the cliff, and Xuanwu reluctantly made way to give him the best position. Phoenix raised his hand and injected spiritual power into the stone wall, searching inch by inch in the stone wall.
Perhaps it was unavoidable, as traces of scales began to appear on the stone wall, and Phoenix heard the voice of Canglong—
[Phoenix, long time no see. ]
Although he had guessed along the way, when he actually heard the old friend's voice, Feng Huang was still stunned for a long time. He stood in front of the cliff for a long time before answering softly:
"...Yeah, long time no see."
We hadn't seen each other for nearly two thousand years. When we met again, one had abandoned his body and used the mountains and rivers to prolong his life, while the other had been reborn into Nirvana with only most of his memories left. After all, they were no longer the same as before.
Xuanwu didn't quite understand what kind of friends they were, but when they started talking, he was thrown out of the passage by two different spiritual powers at the same time, and his turtle body was thrown out as well, spinning around him like a top three times.
Xuanwu: “???”
Is it fair to throw it away after use?
This person is definitely not Canglong's enemy, he must be Canglong's friend. He is completely heartless and deserves a beating!
Xuanwu, with a rage in his stomach, went hunting angrily. He decided to make full use of the space in his turtle body. He wanted to fill every corner with food. Even if someone blocked him for a year, he would not bring any food out!
…
As spring went and autumn came, the Phoenix stayed on this mountain for a long time, so long that Xuanwu finally became familiar with him.
Phoenix then realized that although this seemingly large and ferocious black snake was an alien beast, it did not have any natural inheritance, so a small accident occurred when it was born. It should have been born as a turtle and a snake, but only one consciousness was condensed. This consciousness was more accustomed to moving in the body of the small black snake. Although the turtle body was equivalent to its other body shell, it was mostly used by it for storage, packing some delicious and fun things.
Because Xuanwu's fighting ability was so poor, Phoenix couldn't stand it anymore and had to help Xuanwu climb the wall and start training. When she was training hard, Phoenix was lucky enough to see a scene that made her laugh and cry.
Xuanwu's snake body suddenly stopped moving, and a turtle head and short and fat limbs suddenly emerged from the pitch-black turtle shell placed aside, followed by a small tail. After taking a look at the phoenix, the suddenly appearing turtle decisively retracted its head, limbs and tail into the shell. The whole process was smooth and took less than a second.
Pinching the limp and slender Phoenix: "..."
He discovered that although Xuanwu's fighting ability was not good, his escape speed was first-rate, and he had simply brought "慫与茍" to its extreme.
Phoenix tried many times, but Xuanwu's attacking ability did not improve, but his ability to survive did not fall behind. He learned everything clearly, and his escaping speed reached new highs.
Although what she learned was a bit biased, each alien has its own personality, and Phoenix finally chose to respect them.
Although he was staying with Canglong Xuanwu for the time being, Phoenix would still return to the mountain regularly to replenish the tea tree's spiritual energy to maintain his body's immortality, and would also repair the small building so that he would still have a place to live when he wanted to come back.
With his old friend around, Feng Huang seemed to have returned to the time when his master was still around. The huge emptiness in his heart was alleviated a lot, and he finally felt less nervous.
Hundreds of years later, the Phoenix went back to replenish the spiritual power of the tea tree and saw the message left by Nine-Tailed Fox under the tree. Nine-Tailed Fox said that his time was up, but he wanted to live to the time when the small tea tree with the same origin as Jiamuying was born. He was sure that he would not give up.
He decided to use all his strength to tear apart time and space, trying to create chaos in time and space and enter the gap in time, perhaps being able to briefly reach the future at the right time.
Jiuwei used the bronze tower that he spent a hundred years to refine to cover the outside of the small building, and took away the small building where they once lived. He joked that Phoenix would not come back to live there for a long time anyway, so it would be better to give the small building to him. If he could not come back in the cracks in time and was lost in the void, at least he would have a place to live.
The message was one-way, so Phoenix could no longer contact Nine-Tailed Fox. To be more precise, this was not a message, but a farewell message that Nine-Tailed Fox left for him.
Phoenix remembered a long time ago, after her husband fell asleep, the day before they parted in the small building, Phoenix asked Jiuwei, is it worth it to spend your whole life chasing the return of the person you had been with for more than ten years?
Kyuubi simply asked back: "When you asked this question, didn't you already have the answer?"
Family, how can it not be worth it.
…
After that message, Phoenix completely lost all news of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Hundreds of years later, the grieved Xuanwu finally slowly transformed into a human form. After teaching him how to tame his wild limbs, Phoenix suddenly felt something.
His life is about to come to an end.
When he heard the news, Phoenix was extremely calm. He had made all the arrangements, including how to deal with Mr.'s body during his absence.
The Phoenix said goodbye to Canglong and Xuanwu. Canglong's emotions had always been introverted, and after assimilating with the mountains and rivers, they became even more hidden. On the contrary, Xuanwu, who was caught by the Phoenix and trained in various ways to escape, burst into tears and his handsome face was distorted to the point of being unbearable to look at.
"Don't be reluctant, and don't be sad." Phoenix said, "A hundred years later, I will come back again."
So Xuanwu really waited foolishly for a hundred years.
He was even prepared to see a red and gold velvet ball in the future, and planned to take advantage of the fact that the Phoenix predecessor had no memories when he was young to make Tiangang the elder, but a hundred years later, the Phoenix did not come.
In the second hundred years, he still didn't come.
By the third hundred years, Xuanwu could no longer bear it. He followed the terrain that had not changed much in his memory and went to the place where Senior Phoenix once lived. The tea tree that Senior Phoenix cherished so much was still standing there, but the small building was nowhere to be seen. The formation had not been taken care of for a long time, and the spiritual energy of the treasures inlaid on it was no longer full, and it had not been replenished for at least a hundred years.
Xuanwu felt confused, so he decided to go back to the cliff and wake up Canglong.
Relying on mountains and rivers to prolong life is not without price. From time to time, Canglong will fall into a deep sleep, which can last for as short as a dozen years or as long as hundreds of years.
After taking great pains to wake Canglong up completely, Xuanwu asked about his doubts. After some calculations, Canglong told him that the Phoenix was experiencing its fourth nirvana.
Xuanwu was confused. Shouldn't this be the third time?
Canglong didn't say much, he just said quietly: "The human heart is hard to predict."
Xuanwu didn't quite understand because he rarely came into contact with humans and didn't like to go to human cities, so when Canglong said this, he didn't quite understand.
"I will continue to sleep." Canglong said, "You go to the city of humans and pretend to be an ordinary person to live with them for three hundred years. When you come back after three hundred years, you will understand."
Xuanwu went down the mountain in a daze, picked a city that he liked, and successfully disguised himself as an ordinary person. But before three hundred years had passed, more than two hundred years later, he returned to the mountain in a panic at night.
He did not tell Canglong about his experiences in the human dynasty over the past two hundred years, but he has indeed changed a lot. The changes brought about by these two hundred years are far greater than those in the past thousands of years.
Another hundred years passed, and Xuanwu met Fenghuang again. Compared with the high-spirited look when they first met, Fenghuang was much more depressed. He first went to see the big tea tree that he had not seen for a long time, repaired the formation, replaced the spiritual objects, and then he had secret talks with Canglong for several days - of course, he was the one who was thrown out with his turtle body.
It seems that Fenghuang and Canglong have prepared an extremely crazy plan together. Canglong occasionally reveals a few words to Xuanwu, but Xuanwu does not know the whole picture.
Damn! What a rubbish dragon!
The angry Xuanwu still obediently followed their instructions and prepared this and that. He had a very good ability to regulate himself, and comforted himself that he would know the whole truth sooner or later.
The main theme is "working hard with a cold face, but keeping the heart locked in love".
It took them two hundred years just to determine the location of the final plan in the Great Wilderness. During this time, Xuanwu learned something that shocked him greatly: this was not the fourth nirvana of the Phoenix, but the fifth.
Phoenix never mentioned a word about what he experienced during his third and fourth nirvanas, but Xuanwu learned some heavy things from his occasional words and deeds in daily life, which are best not to be thought about too much.
He suddenly realized that the experiences of more than two hundred years might not be the cruelest ones he had experienced, even though those experiences had made him wicked enough.
The Phoenix used various rare treasures to change the mountain at the location of the final plan. Xuanwu collected the things the Phoenix needed from all over the wilderness. When collecting items that would serve as the core of the formation, Xuanwu encountered two trees, two trees whose time had come to an end. One was named Di Xiu and the other was named Di Wu.
Their time is about to come to an end in the natural cycle, and the item that Xuanwu needs happens to be with them. They use this item as a reward, hoping that Xuanwu can escort them to the land without spirits.
Xuanwu was puzzled and said, "A thousand miles of scorched earth in a land without spirits will only speed up your departure."
"It doesn't matter." The gray-haired Emperor Xiu said, "We just want to go and take a look."
At the end of his life, he would always dream of a tree that blocked out the sun and of lively gatherings, but everything was covered by a thick layer of clouds, and he could not see clearly.
"Don't worry, I won't default on your debt." Diwu next to him also said.
Although plants have a long life, they have a long growth period. If left unattended, they are more likely to die than alien cubs. They traveled throughout the wilderness, gathered all the alien plants that had not yet degenerated, and chose a good location in the wilderness to settle down, so that newly born plant cubs would not have to worry about fear after they become intelligent.
They have done the best they could in their lives and have no regrets. Pursuing the distant "dream" from thousands of years ago is also their final destination.
Xuanwu accepted the request.
He escorted the two old trees to a thousand miles of scorched earth and a lifeless land, where he saw the huge remains of Jianmu. Golden spots of light emerged from the remains of Jianmu and circled around them. Some of them merged into the brows of Xuanwu. More knowledge about disasters appeared in his mind, which was complicated and disordered, as if fate had been pondered countless times in the midst of changes, and the resulting results were entangled together.
Xuanwu tried hard to remember all these things. Although he was not very smart, he believed that Canglong and Fenghuang would understand.
At the end of the Phoenix's fifth nirvana, Xuanwu also sensed his own weakness. He knew that he could extend his life for a few hundred years by eating his own turtle body, but he did not do so.
After so many years of experience and running around after the transformation, and meeting countless people and things, both good and bad, Xuanwu is very tired. It may be because he is relatively stupid and slow in everything, so his lifespan is longer than other beasts, but at the end of a long life, most beasts cannot escape the end of burnout.
Xuanwu left the turtle body to Canglong.
Canglong is willing to assimilate with the mountains and rivers in order to survive. His turtle body will play a greater role in Canglong's hands.
So, on a certain sunny afternoon, Xuanwu fell into a long sleep, but he did not enter the endless sea.
After absorbing Xuanwu's turtle body, Canglong used the turtle body as a medium to forcibly retain his consciousness and threw him into the unfinished barren mountain, becoming the array spirit of the barren mountain. Even if Xuanwu's snake body decayed into dust due to the withdrawal of consciousness and the turtle body became only an empty shell, as long as the barren mountain exists, Xuanwu will not disappear from this world.
Canglong erased the bad experiences and dark shadows in Xuanwu's memory and modified some details. After Xuanwu's consciousness was nurtured by the power of the formation and recovered a little, he was still the fierce, frightened, silly little black snake, and not the mythical beast Xuanwu who had been bored for a long time.
…
After Phoenix's sixth Nirvana, he discovered that Xuanwu had become a sleeping array spirit in a barren mountain. He and Canglong had the most serious quarrel in history, and in a rage, Xuanwu blew up half of the mountain that Canglong had assimilated.
Amid the sound of rocks rolling down, Phoenix's eyes were filled with unprecedented disappointment: "You forced Xuanwu to retain his consciousness and modify his memory. Did you ask for his opinion?! Xuanwu is our companion, a child you watched grow up. He is not your toy, let alone your consumable!"
[Returning to the Endless Sea and becoming an ignorant white fish, or being reincarnated like Bai Ze and completely changed beyond all recognition - do you think this is a good thing?] Canglong said, [Wash away all the old marks, and you will be a brand new creature.]
[Is it wrong for me to force Xuanwu to stay?] His emotions were equally excited, [As long as the barren mountain exists, Xuanwu can coexist, he will live happily forever, and no one will deceive or hurt him anymore!]
[Look, Shirazawa was reincarnated as a human. He gave so much to humanity, but how many times did he have a good ending?! If time could go back, I would definitely stop him from turning into an endless sea!]
Phoenix felt that the Canglong who absorbed the Black Tortoise's body was unreasonable, even stubborn to the point of being a little crazy.
[If Heaven wants us to live, we live; if Heaven wants us to die, we die. Why should we listen to it? Why should we leave our fate to it? 】
…
The dispute ended unhappily.
Phoenix is still searching for materials to build the "Barren Mountain" everywhere in the wilderness, and so is Canglong. The dispute did not stop them from stopping their plans, but Phoenix has a different idea.
He began to distrust Canglong.
He has deployed some secret forces in many places in "The Wasteland Mountain", but he hopes that these deployments will never be used.
During the seventh nirvana of the Phoenix, mankind encountered a great catastrophe and was divided into the East and the West. The subordinates cultivated by Canglong had become the climate. They entered the West and concocted a great lie called "God's Court". Jianmu was distorted into the "World Tree" in the legend of the West, consisting of Asgard, the Land of Mist, and Midgard, and the concept of "God" was formed.
From then on, the West had history and legend.
As long as there is enough faith, the lie can become true. Canglong spent thousands of years perfecting this huge lie, collecting faith in the name of "Nidhogg" and turning himself into a false god.
His talent is [destiny guidance]. As long as he is clear about his goal, he can find the path that suits him best among all the complicated situations.
So Canglong boldly stole the authority of Heaven with all his power as a false god, and learned that ten thousand years after the disaster that formed the Land of No Spirits, there would be another equally huge disaster.
The increasingly stubborn Canglong made a bold decision—he would replace the Way of Heaven in that catastrophe.
This was a long plan, so long that it lasted until the Phoenix completed its eighth nirvana and continued into its ninth.
The Phoenix has made contact with humans in the East in his eighth nirvana. After each nirvana, he will maintain close or distant contact with humans. His talent will make him moved by positive emotions every time he is reborn, and he will never become numb.
So is happiness, and so is pain.
Occasionally, he would hear news about Canglong, such as when he woke up after a long sleep, when he was causing trouble in the surface world, or when he suddenly adopted a Di Ting cub... and so on.
After the ninth Nirvana, Phoenix felt the fatigue of his soul. He had a vague premonition that he might not be able to survive the next Nirvana.
After his memory was restored, he went to the "Desolate Mountain", which was located at the junction of the barrier between the inner and outer worlds, and the barrier was unfolded during his seventh nirvana.
He transplanted a somewhat rotten tea tree from the mountain - no matter how carefully he took care of it, time would eventually leave its mark.
He transplanted the tea tree, which was only one percent of its original size, to the foot of the mountain. Through official contacts with human beings and after making some exchanges of interests, he transformed the place into a town. He planted locust trees all over the town because according to human legend, locust trees can attract the souls of the dead. The town was named "Huai Lin", which means "missing you".
After coming up with the name, Feng Huang laughed dumbly, thinking himself to be so childish, so he named another town developed around Huailin Town "Danggui" - this is not a homonym, but just the name of a medicinal herb.
Surrounding the barren mountains, nine towns sprang up one after another over the course of a hundred years, and were finally gathered in one place named "Chongming".
Because Phoenix was reluctant to make too many changes to Huailin Town and Danggui Town, as the economic development of these two towns gradually declined, the economic focus naturally shifted, but Phoenix didn't care.
He built a small building in Huailin Town and a store in Danggui Town, bit by bit, without relying on anyone else's help.
The book that records ten thousand years of time was placed in the teahouse. For humans, it is an extremely precious ancient book, but for Phoenix, it is just a tool that can help Mr. understand the world faster.
Phoenix moved the things that still existed in the past into the shop little by little, and finally the painting he had kept ten thousand years ago was carefully placed at the back.
He lit a bronze lamp with a little flame burning inside - if anyone tried to damage the teahouse, the news would be reported to him first.
Human society is changing with each passing day, and Phoenix has integrated himself into it, watching the rapid changes year after year, and he has gained some pleasure from it. Occasionally, he will instruct some official members, but most of the time he lives in the small building, leading a retired life.
One day, he sensed the breath of the consciousness of heaven and earth, and following the strong guidance, he took out a bead with green patterns from the "background wall" of the small building. A thin, silver-white thread extended from the bead and automatically hung around his neck.
The Phoenix, whose body was gradually weakening and whose hair was even graying, was startled. The familiar power deep in his memory gently soothed his discomfort and actually made him feel like crying.
He realized that this might be the "turning point" that Mr. had mentioned during the Jiamuying period.
So Phoenix began her search, and finally found the small tea tree that was from the same family as her husband in a dilapidated Ci Xin orphanage.
[My talent tells me that we can meet again ten thousand years later.]
———This was not an empty lie to comfort him.
As life is coming to an end, vague memories will only become clearer and clearer. With so many memories of past lives mixed together, he can still clearly remember the bright stars that night.
The cub of the same origin as Mr. looks like a helpless crybaby. He really needs to leave more things for him, lest the cub causes Mr. to end up homeless after he recovers.
The phoenix actually thought about taking the cub away and teaching it personally, but the consciousness of heaven expressed its disapproval.
During the nine nirvanas, the Phoenix communicated with the consciousness of heaven and earth only a few times, but each time it played a role at the critical moment, and the Phoenix finally chose to continue to believe in Him.
He registered the small building and the shop as inheritance on the official website of the human world court, and the donor's name was signed as "Jia Muying".
He did not sign his name as "Yuchuan" out of selfishness, because those hundreds of years of carefree time were a secret he did not want to tell the little cub.
The consciousness of heaven and earth stepped in to help cover up for him and make everything seem reasonable. His communication with the consciousness of heaven and earth over the past few decades was almost equal to the sum of his previous eight nirvanas.
Everything that might expose the tea tree cub was dealt with, and Phoenix almost suspected that this little tea tree seedling was not the same offspring of the master, but Tiandao's own child.
On the day when the tea tree cub came of age, Phoenix slapped the inheritance she had prepared in front of him and said, "Sign."
This young seedling still had a childish look on its face, looking silly, and indeed easy to deceive. He was able to let down most of his guard with just a few words.
After giving the inheritance, the consciousness of heaven and earth reappeared, urging him to leave quickly. Phoenix looked at the child opposite who was unaware of anything, and her heart softened for a rare moment.
"Wait," he said.
The bead that had been hanging around his neck was flashing eagerly. Phoenix knew that this might be the key to Mr.'s recovery, but when she really handed it to him, he still felt disappointed and reluctant.
"Take it." The unbreakable silver thread disappeared without a trace after being pulled, and Phoenix stuffed it into the hands of the young man named "Yu Tu".
Without the nourishment of the bead, his strength quickly dissipated, and Phoenix felt a little regretful. He had waited for ten thousand years, but he probably wouldn't be able to see the agreed meeting.
Fenghuang rolled up the car window, and their eyes briefly met through the gap in the window.
The story begins from now on.
The story ends here.
