Chapter 155 This group of favors is inappropriate
"Don't cry, you will feel uncomfortable soon." Shen Zhi is a phoenix that has not experienced the baptism of fire. Any water contaminated with spiritual energy will damage the phoenix's body.
Even more precious than the Phoenix Fire is the Phoenix Tears, which can annihilate the existence of the Phoenix Fire.
Shen Zhi clutched his chest tightly, the sudden pain almost choked him. Shen Zhi fell sideways without any effort and was steadily held in Hu Zang's arms.
Hu Zang's face was solemn. He stroked Shen Zhi's chest again and again, and said in a low and reliable voice, "Baby, relax and breathe slowly."
Shen Zhi gasped under the force of Hu Zang. The nails that were holding Hu Zang's arm broke, and spots of blood seeped out. Then more and more blood gathered on Hu Zang's clothes, forming a dazzling blood pattern.
Hu Zang grabbed Shen Zhi's hand to stop him from hurting himself unconsciously, the pain in his eyes almost overflowing from his chest.
"Hu Zang, mother... he doesn't want me anymore," the little phoenix choked, her throat seemed to be clogged with a ball of burnt cotton, dry and hoarse, "He left me like this last time, and I can't find him anymore."
Hu Zang held the crying little phoenix in his arms, rested his chin on his forehead, patted the little phoenix's back patiently, and said softly, "No one will be willing to abandon you."
Little Phoenix couldn't listen and murmured, "Is it because of me? That's why mother doesn't like me and no one wants me."
But why not tell him? He will change.
"No, it's not your fault," Hu Zang patiently wiped the tears from Shen Zhi's face and comforted him over and over again.
Shen Zhi knew that Li Feng was not his mother, but Li Feng rescued his mother who was besieged by bad guys because of giving birth and was seriously injured.
After giving birth to him, his mother used her body to warm him and warned him to recognize Li Feng as his master and to treat him well and repay his kindness.
Shen Zhi didn’t understand what a master was. He only knew that he would treat Li Feng as well as he treated his mother, so he treated Li Feng as his mother.
Li Feng took him back and took care of him for a long time. Although he was robbed by Zun Shang during the process, Li Feng found him again soon.
When he broke out of the shell, he was surrounded by the scent of Li Feng. It was a pity that he did not see Li Feng at first sight.
And it happened to be the day when the shell was broken that he was sent to the Lord by Li Feng. No matter how he cried and shouted, Li Feng ignored him. No matter how he begged, Li Feng still left without looking back.
Later he met Li Feng again. His mother told him his name. Shen Zhi did not mention that he had been abandoned. Even if Li Feng did not admit it, he could smell that the scent on Li Feng was exactly the same as his mother's.
This time he was very obedient and well behaved, but why was he still abandoned by his mother?
"I wasn't abandoned." Hu Zang paused, but once he opened his mouth, the rest of his words flowed smoothly. Hu Zang looked at the little phoenix's red eyes and said slowly, "The Chongming Mirror is guarded by a great demon. This is the first level of the illusion. He..."
"He kept you here because he didn't want you to be in danger. He will come back after the illusion is broken." Hu Zang didn't like to lie, but he nodded when Little Phoenix carefully asked him if it was true.
"He is very powerful, it's just an illusion," Hu Zang raised the corners of his mouth, looking very relaxed.
Shen Zhi suddenly felt a little embarrassed and burst into tears. It turned out that he was wrong.
Shen Zhishi wiped his face and agreed affirmatively: "Mom is very powerful. I will wait for him to come back."
The little phoenix was motivated and spirited, "No, I will help mother break this environment."
Hu Zang loosened his grip, and the little phoenix emerged from his arms in high spirits. Holding the night-shining pearl that Hu Zang had given him, it began to search around the cave wall.
"You lied to him?" A tiny voice drilled into his mind intermittently, showing that the person using the voice transmission device was not familiar with it.
Hu Zang was not surprised that Qi Chengjing woke up. Now that he was back, Qi Chengjing would not stay alone in the illusion.
"Is it not possible?" Hu Zang asked back without any psychological burden.
Hu Zang couldn't tell how he felt about Qi Chengjing. It was obvious that Qi Chengjing was created by him. He once said in the illusion that he was just a stand-in who was ignorant of the immensity of the world.
But Hu Zang couldn't help but feel jealous.
He was jealous of a double he had created.
"Do you want me to die for you?" Qi Chengjing sensed the subtle emotional changes coming from Hu Zang and asked the answer he really wanted to get from Hu Zang.
Hu Zang actually relaxed when he heard Qi Chengjing's straightforward question.
For a person without a past, what is there worth investing so much emotion in?
Hu Zang's eyes fell on Shen Zhi who was busy looking for the entrance not far away, and he and Qi Chengjing leisurely recounted the past events, "Do you know why Mo Li abandoned him the first time?"
Qi Chengjing sat up, covered his right eye subconsciously, and then put it down.
This was not mentioned in the original book's plot. Now that I think about it, the original book's plot in my mind was probably made up by Hu Zang.
He won't know what Hu Zang doesn't want him to know.
Hu Zang naturally didn't really want to get any answers from Qi Chengjing, so he just spoke for himself: "At that time, the Mingyu Palace was besieging Jixiaomen. In fact, the Mingyu Palace was not only controlled by Ye Qing. Although Ye Qing was very powerful, people in the demonic world were not loyal. They were all fighting for their own camps, but they were all fighting for the name of the Mingyu Palace."
"Mo Li was busy crossing the calamity at that time and had no time to care about other things. I don't know why the attack from Mingyu Palace was so unexpectedly fierce. Mo Li was ready to break the calamity by force to protect the disciples of Jixiao Sect," Hu Zang said in a gentle voice, as if he was telling someone else's story.
Qi Chengjing discovered the problem, "Then where are you?"
As Mo Li's most capable disciple and the most valued talented young man in Jixiao Sect, Hu Zang can resist the attack of Mingyu Palace even in the absence of Mo Li.
This was a common question, but Hu Zang avoided the question and said, "I was restrained by someone with ulterior motives."
Qi Chengjing did not ask further questions, and listened to Hu Zang's words: "He had just broken out of his shell at that time, and he had the courage to find Mo Li who was going through the last level of thunder tribulation, and rushed over to bear it for him."
Qi Chengjing was silent. For a cultivator, the last heavenly thunder tribulation was also a matter of life and death. It was the most fierce and terrifying one. Nine out of ten people could not resist it. Even those who practiced diligently were trembling with fear. However, Shen Zhi...
Hu Zang's light laughter broke through Qi Chengjing's heavy thoughts, "Mo Li is the most rebellious to Heaven. The last lightning tribulation was more than ten meters thick, which was many times larger than a newly born bird. But he was so resolute, as if Mo Li had sacrificed so much for him."
Mo Li was already injured when he saved Shen Zhi's mother. She said it was a life-saving grace, but in fact, Shen Zhi's mother was fully capable of driving away those people with evil intentions at that time, and Mo Li was just the person she found to entrust her child to, because the Phoenix clan was under a curse, and the birth of a phoenix must depend on the fall of a phoenix.
Mo Li, whom Shen Zhi's mother bet on to rescue them, is not the same kind of person as those people and can take care of his own children.
Facts have proved that no matter whether Mo Li is a trustworthy person or not, Shen Zhi treats Mo Li as the most important person and protects him.
The little bit of truth revealed by the little phoenix was incredible to Hu Zang, because just that little bit was more than anything Hu Zang had ever seen.
It is genuine, pure, decisive, and yet hilarious and naive.
He had never seen it because he was born with sin and hatred.
"The Phoenix was still favored by the heavens. He didn't die, but he frightened Mo Li." Hu Zang suppressed the faint smile on his lips and said sarcastically, "Perhaps the cold-hearted Immortal Venerable would also have some true feelings and would be moved by such fearless love. He handed Shen Zhi over to Ye Qing and asked Shen Zhi to be a 'bad guy' and no longer take sacrifice as responsibility."
"So he is not gifted because of the thunder tribulation?" Qi Chengjing glimpsed something and saw something growing and sprouting, hitting the membrane, but he still couldn't tell what was hidden under the membrane.
Hu Zang then looked at Qi Chengjing and raised his eyebrows, saying, "I didn't expect you to be quite smart."
Qi Chengjing was not disturbed by Hu Zang's half-hearted praise, but said: "In the illusion, he was reborn from the ashes for the second time, right? The little phoenix in it was not him at that time, but him now."
That's why I fainted and entered that time and space. Shen Zhi also lost his memory and entered that time and space again, and was reborn from the ashes once again.
Hu Zang should have started planning very early and entered that time and space very early. He thought that Shen Zhi’s previous rebirth from the ashes had failed because he was not fully prepared, so this time he was fully prepared.
He hoped that Shen Zhi could use the Phoenix clan's natural talents and bloodline to reshape his bones and bones after being reborn in the fire, so as to be reborn and make up for the losses caused by the heavenly thunder tribulation.
But he failed again.
"You know the reason for the failure," Qi Chengjing said with an inexplicable firmness, as if he was now Hu Zang and knew him thoroughly.
Hu Zang didn't think Qi Chengjing would know, and said contemptuously: "How could I know..."
"Isn't it because of insufficient preparation? No matter how well prepared you are, you will fail, right? Because he is the root cause of the failure," Qi Chengjing cast a gentle glance at Shen Zhi who turned around, with a meaningful expression.
A dark light flashed across Hu Zang's eyes, but he did not refute.
Qi Chengjingyuan was much smarter than he thought.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Shen Zhi shone the night pearl over and saw the deep sword mark on Qi Chengjing's right eyelid. He asked in confusion.
Qi Chengjing felt mixed emotions. He glanced at Shen Zhi and then lowered his head heavily.
In comparison, Hu Zang was much more relaxed and even joked: "His eyes used to be so fierce, but now that they're cut, they look much more pleasing to the eye."
The little phoenix glared at Hu Zang and said unhappily, "There's no need to cut your eyes open, it will hurt."
Hu Zang pulled Shen Zhi to sit down with a playful smile, "You are really kind-hearted. After all, he is disfigured and not as pretty as me. Do you still keep your promise to make me the wife of the city lord?"
Hu Zang was waving his folding fan in a graceful manner, laughing frivolously and carefreely.
Shen Zhi was already very annoyed, and Hu Zang chose to interrupt him with these trivial matters, so he said perfunctorily: "Calculate, calculate, calculate."
Hu Zang smiled even more, put away his folding fan, put his face close to Shen Zhi's lips, and said lazily: "Words are useless, why not give me a kiss."
The little phoenix's beautiful eyes showed cunning as it slowly approached.
Hu Zang had originally wanted to tease Shen Zhi because he saw that he was in a bad mood, but when he smelled the warm and sweet scent of the paulownia tree coming from him, his heart quickly began to beat fast.
Hu Zang could clearly feel his breath mixed with moist water vapor gently spraying on his cheek, tickling his skin pores and penetrating into his nerves.
"Don't take it seriously..." Hu Zang said hoarsely, trying to get rid of this embarrassment, "I'm just kidding."
There was no way Shen Zhi would let him go easily, and when Hu Zang was off guard, Shen Zhi lowered his head and bit Hu Zang's shoulder hard, causing him to almost jump up in pain.
Shen Zhi was watching Hu Zang grinning as he checked his wounds, when he suddenly heard Qi Chengjing's surprised voice: "There are quite a few corpses here too."
Little Phoenix said indifferently, "I saw it a long time ago, why are you so surprised now?"
Hu Zang, who was holding his clothes, felt something was wrong and looked straight at Qi Chengjing who was pretending to be surprised.
As expected, Qi Chengjing said, "These corpses and the corpses outside all seem to have died from excessive blood loss after their throats were cut by the fans. The corpses outside were even worse, as their skin and flesh were slashed alive by the fans."
"I wonder if the high priest came here early and did these things when we couldn't find him?" Qi Chengjing looked back at him unceremoniously.
Hu Zang smiled coldly. Is this revenge? He was amazed that a substitute could also resort to jealous tricks.
Hu Zang could choose not to answer Qi Chengjing, but he couldn't help but respond to Shen Zhi who was curious.
"You killed them?" Shen Zhi looked at Hu Zang in confusion, "Why?"
