I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 54 My brother!

"Chirp!!"

An extremely sharp and majestic stinging sound exploded in Zhou Mu's ears.

The scene before my eyes changed. I was no longer under the Bodhi tree, and there was no longer the wonderful music. Instead, there was the blue sea and blue sky, and the great roc was flying through the sky.

When it flapped its wings, clouds rolled in the sky like a roaring sea and rumbling thunder.

That empty, ethereal, incomplete image of Dapeng, made up of a bit of truth that has remained for who knows how many years,
Suddenly stopped flapping its wings,
It was hanging above the clouds, with its head lowered, and its eyes, as bright as the sun, stared at Zhou Mu.

There are complex emotional changes in his eyes, they are definitely not dead!

Zhou Mu was under tremendous pressure and met Dapeng.

for a long time.

The blue sea and blue sky suddenly shattered, and the golden-winged Roc hung in the void, uttering an ancient language similar to that of the young lady.

Zhou Mu was not familiar with this ancient language, but he could understand it directly and at the essential level.

"You."

The big bird said:

"How old are you?"

The majestic voice pierced his ears, and Zhou Mu was stunned. He never expected Dapeng to speak, and he didn't expect that after he opened his mouth, he would say such words!
He was stunned for a while:
"I was born eighteen years old."

Dapeng nodded slightly, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he sighed.

After a long time, it sighed again.

The Peng bird descended, rolling up thousands of layers of clouds, raging winds, and thunders.

It landed in front of Zhou Mu, and its body began to shrink, becoming two or three people tall. It folded its wings, paced back and forth, and looked Zhou Mu up and down.

half an hour.

"My brother."

The big peng bird spoke lightly, but Zhou Mu seemed to be choked and coughed violently twice.

"Are you alive?" He was surprised and uttered a very disrespectful word.

"No, I am a dead thing."

The Golden Winged Peng said calmly:
"I am the true meaning transformed from a thought of the deity ten thousand years ago. I have lived in the scroll for ten thousand years. Although I am a dead object, but with the realm of the deity, every thought and every idea is my own."

Zhou Mu didn't understand and his body tensed up.

The golden-winged Peng bird looked Zhou Mu up and down, and saw the blood of the Ancestral Phoenix in him. However, it was not puzzled by the extremely weak bloodline. Instead, it seemed to take it for granted.

It then said:
"Where are you now? I mean the place where you are."

Zhou Mu hesitated for a moment, then spoke very carefully:
"Inu Juecheng."

Dapeng frowned for a long time and shook his head slightly:
"I haven't heard of it. Is it a giant city of the newly emerged demon race? My memory remains from ten thousand years ago, when [my master] transformed me into a scroll, which is the time of the true meaning."

After a pause, it was a series of densely packed questions:
"Will the Northern and Southern Demon Dynasties be unified? Can the human race rise? Does the Five Kings City still exist? Do you know who the Green Robe Guest is? Have the two Western temples decided who is superior?"

Zhou Mu was confused and shook his head:
“I don’t know.”

Dapeng sighed again:

"Alas, my brother, how can you be so stupid? Almost as stupid as your..."

It paused, as if it remembered something, its expression turned sad, it closed its eyes, and sighed heavily.

for a long time.

"Your third sister was once as naive and foolish as you, but in the end, she died before she even lived to be 10,000 years old."

Zhou Mu's eyelids twitched. Hmm. Young lady?
At this point he was completely certain that the illusory Dapeng transformed by the true meaning had misunderstood and thought of himself as the fourth son born to the ancestor phoenix!

But, can't Dapeng see that his blood is so weak that it has no blood? Can he still have blood without hearing words?

Why did this misunderstanding occur? "Do you know your own fundamental nature?" the Peng bird asked softly, but then shook his head in denial and said to himself:
"Yes, you probably don't know who you are yet, and don't understand why I call you my brother. You don't know your third sister, let alone your eldest brother, and you don't even recognize your mother!"

Zhou Mu pondered for a moment and wisely chose to remain silent.

After his past life memories were awakened, he knew about the second son of the Phoenix. The myths and legends and strange stories he had read in his past life might not be accurate, but they could be used as a reference.
The two sons of the Phoenix, whether the peacock or the golden-winged Roc, are by no means good people.
It’s better to listen quietly, maybe you can know a lot of secrets!
The golden-winged Peng bird sighed softly at this time:

"Fortunately, I have been through reincarnation and transformed into a warrior in the human world. I now know your situation. Let me tell you about it."

Zhou Mu's mind was torn, and he spoke cautiously:
"All ears."

Dapeng bird said:

"I calculated that after ten thousand years, it should still be the aftermath of the end of the world. The new era has not yet begun, and the outside world should be the most turbulent time."

"You and I are brothers. Our mother is the first phoenix since the creation of the world, the ancestor of all phoenixes and the leader of all phoenixes."

"Mother gave birth to you at this juncture and threw you straight into the reincarnation. She must have had her own reasons. Most likely, she wanted to be the first to enter the new era."

Zhou Mu listened in confusion.

"You have an older brother, Peacock, who has disappeared without a trace and is nowhere to be found—at least he has been missing for ten thousand years."

"My original self is your second brother. He has been locked up for many years. Although he broke the blockade and imprisonment formation, he could only stretch out one claw. Ten thousand years ago, my original self protected the Five Kings City with one claw. I think it is the same today."

Protect the Five Kings City?
Hearing this term again, Zhou Mu's heart moved:
"Isn't the Five Kings City the city of the human race?"

He was curious, why would the Golden-Winged Roc protect the human city?

"You don't know?" The Peng bird was surprised.

"I don't know." Zhou Mu was very honest.

After a moment of silence, the Peng bird said:
"It seems that you are in a small town on the outskirts of the city. Although you have a beautiful figure, your cultivation is so low that it is normal that you don't know."

"My original deity, your second brother, was once reincarnated as a human being named Li Yuanba. He recognized an elder brother. After escaping the suffering of reincarnation, he became my sworn brother. He should also be your sworn brother. Ten thousand years ago, your sworn brother was in the Five Kings City and was one of the five kings."

"Therefore, we are protecting the Five Kings City for Brother Li and to put pressure on the human race."

Zhou Mu was even more confused:

"Sworn brother?"

"Yes, we are all the legitimate children of the Phoenix Ancestor. We are respected and ranked among the top in the sky. Those we adopt as sworn relatives can also have the blood of the Phoenix Ancestor, but it will be very meager."

Then, the Peng bird added:
“At first, I thought you were also a foster relative, but when I think about it, it’s not the case. My elder brother has disappeared, and I have not escaped either. How can you be a foster relative?

I think you are your mother's backup plan. After giving birth to you, she made you reincarnate as a human, which is why your bloodline is so weak. This is a means to hide you."

Zhou Mu felt strange and hesitated to speak.

Li Yuanba. He thought of a folk story from his previous life, saying that Li Yuanba of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's most beloved brother, was the golden-winged roc descended to earth.
Then this brother-in-law, could it be...
Thinking that the master he had never met was suspected to be Li Bai, Zhou Mu quickly accepted it.

Li Erfeng.

It’s really a phoenix!
The illusion began to waver, and seemed to be broken. The Peng bird frowned:

"I will give you something. If the Five Kings City is still there, you can go there and look for your brother the King."

"My brother, remember, the end of the world has ended, but the new era has not yet begun. During this transition from the old to the new, there will be great crises, but also great opportunities. If you can seize the opportunity, you may be able to become a divine innate being in the new era!"

The words fell.

The illusion dissipated and shrank back into a point of truth, but the truth did not return to the scroll. Instead, it burned and swayed, as if a huge hand was recasting it!

Under the Bodhi tree, wonderful music started again, the golden boy played the gong, the celestial maiden sang,
And that true meaning was forged into a ring by an invisible hand amidst the wonderful music and mysterious melody, which was exquisitely carved and sparkling with precious light.

The ring fell naturally and nestled between Zhou Mu's thumbs.

The Bodhi tree also disappeared, enlightenment was over, and the mind returned to its own body. When he opened his eyes again, he was still in the East Kitchen of the Ninth Heaven.

Zhou Mu lowered his head and saw the ring quietly worn on his right thumb.
