On How the Phoenix Hanged on the Crooked Neck Tree

"Don't worry," the old Taoist said, "It's very good, why don't you worry about ghost cars?"

Qiao Yitong was not in the mood to joke with him, he had already taken out the ink cloud fan, and was ready to save Linfeng if the situation was wrong.

A fiery figure bumped into him, Qiao Yitong wanted to defend, but realized that this person was Linfeng, he hurriedly supported him, Linfeng held his arm, breathing slightly short of breath, he said: "Brother, close your eyes."

It was clearly the voice of an adult man, and Linfeng's figure had also turned into a tall man. Qiao Yitong's heart trembled slightly, when he heard Linfeng urging: "Shut up quickly." She still chose to believe him.

Linfeng smeared some wet things on his eyelids, Qiao Yitong's eyes felt cold for a while, followed by burning pain.

He wanted to ask what it was, but the old Taoist shouted, "They're here again."

"It's just some miscellaneous things." Linfeng's voice was cold, "It seems that he is impatient."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went back to continue fighting.

Qiao Yitong stood alone in the same place, enduring the pain for a while, and after the severe pain subsided slowly, a burst of cool air came up, Qiao Yitong tried to slowly open his eyes, and some phantoms appeared in front of his eyes.

His eyes... all right?

The light in front of him was too strong, and Qiao Yitong's eyes hadn't seen the light for too long, and he couldn't bear the stimulation and shed tears, which he hurriedly wiped off, staring at the battle situation intently.

Amidst the golden-red flames in the sky, a man in black clothes stood above the clouds, and the auspicious clouds seemed to be his foil.Under his feet, there was a piece of broken walls, piled up with corpses of ghost cars.And in front of him, an extremely huge ghost car was swooping towards him, with the viciousness that seemed to die with him.

Qiao Yitong couldn't help but lift his heart. If it was him, he would definitely not be able to avoid this blow.

However, the man's attitude was not very nervous, he just stood in the clouds casually, and when Ghost Che thought he could not dodge the attack, he suddenly disappeared.

It suddenly disappeared into the air like that, without even a trace, and when it reappeared, it was with a destructive aura, half of the sky was scorched red by fire, and there was not even a trace of moisture left in the scorching air , This terrifying flame, like a giant beast, quickly swept through everything around it, enveloping the last ghost car.

A shrill cry resounded through the sky, but the flame remained unmoved. After waiting for an unknown amount of time, it suddenly exploded, sparks shot out, and the earth shook.Qiao Yitong couldn't help but retreat a few feet.

He barely stood still, and saw Linfeng falling from the flames, standing firmly on the ground, his black hair fluttering with the wind, and a few strands of golden hair blew onto his face, like a living fire, and the burning heat on his body The feeling seems to have not disappeared, making people afraid to approach.

As if realizing that Qiao Yitong was looking at him, Linfeng slowly turned his head. On his impeccably handsome face, there was a pair of deep eyes, golden pupils filled with the figure of a young man in white.

Qiao Yitong's heart beat so fast suddenly that he pursed his lips in discomfort.Qiao Yitong closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. When the palpitations dissipated, he looked at Linfeng again, but there was no difference. His hair was black and his eyes were also beautiful black.

Linfeng stepped on the corpses all over the ground and walked in front of him, stood a step or two ahead of him, then looked at him quietly, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Brother," he said with a smile, "I can call you Tongtong now."

"Boom!" It seemed that all the blood in his body had been used on his cheeks, Qiao Yitong suddenly blushed.He realized in a daze that he, who has always been molesting others, seemed to be molested by others today!And this person is still a young boy from before.

How on earth did he have the face to let Linfeng call him brother!No, the point seems to be, how did Linfeng have the nerve to call him brother!

Qiao Yitong was so heartbroken that he wanted to pretend to be reserved, and opened the ink cloud fan with a "swish" to cover his face, and then pretended to salute casually: "It turns out that it is Brother Linfeng. Already. Ashamed of being cruel."

Linfeng stared at the small piece of forehead exposed behind his fan, Shi Shiran nodded and said, "Yes."

……Um?What do you mean, just hum?What do you want me to do next?

Fortunately, Linfeng seems to have heard Qiao Yitong's heartfelt voice: "Why is Tongtong so unfamiliar? Could it be that I called you brother before and took advantage of you?"

Qiao Yitong hurriedly said: "No, no, I asked you to call me, and I took advantage of you. Brother Linfeng, don't blame me."

Linfeng said "Oh~" lightly and long, and then said: "But... I am willing."

What would you like?Taking advantage of you!Please don't say such misleading words.

Just as Qiao Yitong couldn't help thinking about it because of the ambiguous meaning hidden in these words, she heard Linfeng continue: "Because Tongtong takes good care of me these days."

"Hehe," Qiao Yitong laughed dryly, "We are all friends, so naturally we should help each other."

Linfeng clenched his fists against his forehead, frowned and said, "I might, I'll be in trouble again..." His voice became weaker and weaker, and at the same time, he leaned forward on Qiao Yitong's body, "I'm going to trouble Tongtong again... ...take care of me."

Qiao Yitong caught Linfeng's body, leaned his forehead on his shoulder, shook it lightly, and called out: "Linfeng, Linfeng, what's wrong with you?"

But Linfeng closed his eyes tightly, and his breath was a little messy, as if the spiritual energy in his body was surging randomly.

Is this... crazy?Impossible, could it be that he was injured in the fight just now?

Qiao Yitong reached out and clasped Linfeng's wrist, and was about to check his body. The old Taoist saw him and stopped him: "Mr. Qiao, please take it easy. This person's background is not simple, and his strength is unpredictable. How dare you act rashly?" It may be dangerous to use aura to probe his body."

Qiao Yitong was not afraid of danger, the worst would be an injury, and his level would drop by a level or two. What is it compared to Linfeng saving his life today?But Da Neng generally resists other people's aura from entering his body, because it is equivalent to his life being controlled by others.

Qiao Yitong didn't want Linfeng to hate himself for making opinions after waking up, he was a little hesitant for a while, and the aura lingered in front of Linfeng's veins.Accidentally entered a little bit, Qiao Yitong's aura flowed freely through Linfeng's meridians and dantian, and found that Linfeng had no resistance to him?

Qiao Yitong suppressed the shock and conjecture in his heart, and concentrated on using spiritual energy to check what was wrong.

After a long time, Qiao Yitong let go of Linfeng and concentrated on thinking worriedly.

The old Taoist asked, "How is it? Has something happened?"

Qiao Yitong glanced at him and said, "Can you help me? Why do you ask so many questions?"

Linfeng's situation was critical, and he didn't dare to tell this old Taoist priest who was acting suspiciously about his situation, it would be tantamount to harming Linfeng.

The old Taoist said, "I know you may not believe me, Mr. Qiao, but I really want to help you, old Taoist."

Qiao Yitong looked up at him.

The old Taoist priest continued: "To be honest, I was originally the master of this session of Wuliang Temple. But more than [-] years ago, Wuliang Temple was wiped out by thieves, and all the disciples of my Taoist temple were slaughtered. He is also famous in the world, but he was wiped out in one fell swoop at that time, and the young master reads a lot, so you must have heard about it."

Qiao Yitong nodded, he had indeed seen relevant records of this matter in books.Although Wuliangguan is a small sect, but because of its unique secret technique, it has achieved its own status in the world.It was a sensation back then.However, it is nonsense to say that this old Taoist priest is the master of the Wuliang Temple.How can it be?

The old Taoist sighed, and slowly said: "My real name is Wu Chen, and my Taoist name is Lumenzi. After going through that incident, although I escaped, I lost all my abilities and almost became a useless person. Even after this Over the years, my skills have only recovered a little bit. Fellow Daoist Qiao should have seen it too. I am only in the realm of foundation building now." The old Taoist said with a wry smile on his face, "So, even if I want to avenge the Taoist temple and the master's sect , been tossing and turning for many years, and there is still no way.”

Qiao Yitong asked: "Who is your enemy?"

The old Taoist turned his face to one side and looked at the corpse of the ghost car on the ground with cloudy eyes. Although he didn't speak, the sadness in his eyes revealed all the truth.

The cool morning breeze blew, and there was a stench of burnt corpses in the air.Qiao Yitong was silent.

The old Taoist explained: "The ghost car is just a messenger, and the real mastermind is someone else. The ghost car family is under the control of the Feng clan. I always thought that the master Feng ordered his subordinates to do this, so I am full of malice towards Fenghuang." But when I saw the leader of the ghost car today, I realized that the real murderer was someone else."

"How do you say that?" Qiao Yitong was puzzled.

The old Taoist went to the biggest ghost car corpse, pulled out a thing from his tail and handed it to Qiao Yitong. It was a peacock tail feather.

"It's the Peacock King. He gave a little of his power to the leader of the ghost car. If you don't pay attention to the affairs of the Feng Clan, you may not know it. If the Phoenix Lord doesn't know that he has been in seclusion for decades, the ambitious bird and demon bird will naturally feel uneasy. Split up and openly rebelled. Birds have done a lot of crimes in the world over the years, I thought it was the Phoenix who did it, but now it seems that the real culprit behind it is the Peacock King."

Peacocks are mortal birds, unlike Chongming Birds and Blue Birds, which are born with supernatural powers.But the peacock king mentioned here is not an ordinary peacock.He is a descendant of King Ming, the big peacock that swallowed Buddha in his stomach. Their ancestor was once a "Buddha mother" with a noble status, so they often disobeyed the rule of Phoenix, the king of birds.

"So, you said you wanted to help Linfeng because he helped you strangle the ghost car clan this time?" Qiao Yitong said.The Wuliang Temple is well-known, and the former head of the temple—let's trust him—said he wanted to help Linfeng, not just for fun.

"That's right, it can be regarded as repaying the kindness you have saved and helped fellow Daoist Qiao many times." Lumenzi smiled, "Old Daoist, I haven't passed by like this for a long time."
