"You said you could help open the Phoenix Tomb?"

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, He Zhonghan asked.

Shen Budu smiled and nodded: "It's almost enough to add us."

Murong Yuanqing sneered, like a fool who didn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, Du Xiangrong and Zhou Qingtian also showed contempt.He Zhonghan said, "Then let's try first."

He injected spiritual power into the barrier of the cave again, followed by Xiao Wangzhi and Li Caiying, and Shen Xie also sent out spiritual power.Murong Yuanqing still had a sneer at first, but soon his expression changed - the barrier crack appeared again, and the crack was even bigger than the last time!

How can this be!What are the origins of these two people! ?

"Palace Master, don't be in a daze," Shen Budu turned his head and urged, "Come help me."

Murong Yuanqing came to his senses and stepped forward immediately. Everyone worked together to inject spiritual flow, and finally opened a gap in the barrier that was big enough for one person to pass sideways, allowing everyone to successfully enter the Phoenix Tomb.

The light in the cave was much darker than the outside, so Murong Yuanqing's expression became more gloomy, his eagle-like eyes stared straight at Shen Budu: "Who the hell are you?"

This strength is definitely on the list of heaven, but he has never seen this person before!

"My surname is Shen," Shen Budu chuckled, "One name is Du. Du of Dukou."

As soon as these words came out, not only Murong Yuanqing, but everyone present gathered their gazes together.

He Zhonghan's voice was deep, but when he listened carefully to the ending, he raised his voice eagerly: "You are Shen Du?"

This name is no stranger to monks in the upper spirit world.Although I haven't met him in person, his name has risen too fast on the combat power list - he started hanging at the end of the ground list, and within two months he rose to more than 40, and in the blink of an eye, he went directly to It's seventeenth on the list!

What kind of abnormal speed is this?Monkeys can't climb trees as fast as he can!

I heard that Shen Du was born in the Northern Wilderness, defeated the original [-]th Han Cheng to take his place, and even broke the restrictions of the Northern Wilderness Realm.

Not only is his ability to ascend to the top of the list from being unknown in the past half a year is shocking, but also his name is what attracts people's attention.

Shen crossing.

It was only one word away from the one who died half a year ago.This coincidence made many people secretly startled, and couldn't help muttering, could it really be that person who came back with a different identity? !

But they all know that this is a far-fetched matter. After all, hundreds of years have passed, and they have not heard of any great power who can really bring the dead back to life.

Shen Budu smiled and cupped his hands at He Zhonghan: "Sect Master He, I've heard you famous for a long time."

He Zhonghan heard his smile with a slightly teasing tone, and the strange feeling in his heart came back again.

Murong Yuanqing looked at him seriously for a while, said nothing more, and said to He Zhonghan: "After we come in, let's act separately, each according to his own ability, without interfering with each other."

He Zhonghan: "That's exactly what I mean."

Murong Yuanqing didn't bother to say any more, and waved his sleeves to take Du Xiangrong and Zhou Qingtian to the tomb first. He Zhonghan was not in a hurry, seeing that there was a silent woman in red beside Shen Budu, and asked: " Who is this?"

Shen Budu: "His name is Shen Taohua."

He Zhonghan was silent for a while: "Are you brothers and sisters?"

Boy, this relationship is getting more and more complicated.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jianhuan accepted it with a calm face: "Yes. He is my brother."

Shen Budu: "..."

You son of a bitch, the barking became more and more fluent.

He Zhonghan was suddenly disappointed.He is very clear about Shen Budu's family background. After his parents passed away, he has no relatives, and he has never heard of any younger sister. It seems that he really thinks too much...

Right.How can everything in this world be as expected.

The bottom of his tongue was bitter, but He Zhonghan didn't show it on his face, and he led them to the depths of the cave silently.On the other hand, Li Caiying somehow found this Mr. Shen very pleasing to the eye, even very kind, and quietly approached him: "Did Mr. Shen and Lingmei just come to Jingping from Beihuang?"

Shen Budu guessed what the little girl was thinking when he saw the rolling eyes of the little girl's film, so he cooperated in a leisurely way: "Yes."

Li Caiying continued to ask: "Then you are newcomers, you should not be familiar with this place, right? Have you thought about where you will go in the future? Do you want to go to the spirit world?"

"Well, I'm thinking about it."

"That's great!" Li Caiying was even happier, "I'm familiar with the upper spirit world, I can show you around! You can also come to our sect to play, I'm Li Caiying, the one with the cold face is Xiao Wangzhi, we all He is a disciple of Tianya Canghaimen."

"Ah..." Shen Budu had a surprised expression, "Is that the very powerful Tianya Canghaimen?"

Li Caiying beamed with joy: "Have you heard of it?"

"Of course." Shen Budu spared no effort to boast, "I heard that the sect is very good, and the disciples are also very good. To be honest, I came to Shangling just to see if I can join your sect."

Li Caiying almost fainted from happiness, and even Xiao Wangzhi's face showed warmth: "It is our honor if you two are willing to join."

He doesn't like to say compliments, so this sentence is completely sincere.The cultivation base of this brother and sister is at the top of the list, more than enough to join Tianya Canghaimen.

In the past six months, the momentum of the school has been weakening. Not only has something happened to the head of the sect, but also the three pillar brothers Xie Jianhuan, Fang Shaojun and Lu Danxu have disappeared. , although all the disciples of the sect practice diligently every day and encourage each other on the surface, they are really a little helpless in their hearts.

The gate of Tianya Canghai originally had the tendency to swallow the sea with swords and swallow the sea, but now they themselves have become a small boat in the sea, unable to see the way forward in the vast fog, staggering and not knowing where the future lies.

Without a guide, they lost their way completely.

So they need to become stronger, and they also need some fresh blood to join in, so that the sect will be more powerful, and they will survive this precarious and difficult moment together.

Even if the person who led them forward is gone.

They will never fall down easily.

Shen Budu smiled slightly: "The Tianya Canghai Sect is honored to have disciples like you."

Xiao Wangzhi's heart suddenly felt sour, and this young master Shen's words almost brought tears to his eyes, he quickly turned his head to control his emotions, and gave a low "hmm" in a deep voice.

A few people walked all the way to the depths of the Phoenix Tomb, the light became darker as they went in, Shen Budu stretched out his fingers and popped out a bright red flame, He Zhonghan raised his eyebrows: "This is... the Begonia Divine Fire?"

Shen Budu hummed, and asked complacently, "Isn't it pretty?"

He Zhonghan: "..."

When ordinary people are complacent when they get Shenhuo, shouldn't they reply "It's amazing", right?

Shenhuo is not for viewing. How many people will ask "does it look good"? ?

This unique style of always showing off where it shouldn't be so it seems deliberately annoying...

Is it too much like someone? ?

Sect Master He felt more and more that there was something wrong with this guy in front of him, and was about to test it out, when Li Caiying suddenly said in surprise: "Look, what's in front of you!"

Several people looked forward, only to see a stone wall finally appeared in front of the empty road, and there was a huge phoenix totem on the wall, with its wings stretched out, as if it was about to be reborn from the ashes.

The phoenix seemed to be carved, and every stroke was exquisite. At first glance, it was almost thought that the phoenix was about to break out of the wall and soar into the sky.

Shen Budu carefully observed the phoenix totem, his eyes slowly turned upwards, and suddenly found something.

There was a touch of bright red on Phoenix's eyeballs.

He stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, leaving some marks on his fingertips. Xie Jianhuan leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Shen Budu sniffed lightly: "Like blood."

Xie Jianhuan was taken aback.

If it was blood, and it was fresh blood, wouldn't it mean that someone had already entered the Phoenix Tomb before them?

But Lingshan had just opened for a few days, and they were almost the fastest to reach the top of the mountain. Who could be faster than them?

The most important thing is, does anyone stronger than the few masters present here exist?How did the opponent break through the barrier at the entrance of the cave?

While he was thinking, three figures came hurriedly from another fork in the road, it was Murong Yuanqing and the others.Du Xiangrong muttered in disbelief as he walked: "This is really the tomb of the Phoenix? Could it be a mistake? There's nothing in it..."

Murong Yuanqing was much more patient than him, and at this moment, he also noticed this side and strode over.

The two groups of people took different fork roads just now, but they all converged here in the end. It seems that the Phoenix Stone Wall is the key.

Du Xiangrong touched the phoenix totem, his eyes glowed faintly in the dark, and the temperature of his eyes was almost hotter than the flames: "There must be a treasure hidden behind this, the blood of the phoenix can make people gain hundreds of years of cultivation for nothing, let alone Say this is the ancestor phoenix!"

Shen Budu turned his gaze: "Listening to Patriarch Du's words, it's like seeing a real phoenix."

Du Xiangrong's face flashed unnaturally quickly, and then he waved his hands: "How is it possible? I just heard about it."

Shen Budu keenly noticed that when Du Xiangrong said that just now, Murong Yuanqing's jaw seemed to have tightened slightly, which was a sign of nervousness and vigilance.

He felt suspicious. The tomb of the ancestor Phoenix is ​​right here. Where does the Phoenix come from in this world?

But another thought suddenly arises: people in the world don't believe that there are dragons in this world, but isn't there a magic dragon standing beside me?

His heart moved, and before he could think about it, Murong Yuanqing had already said: "It may take spiritual power to break through this stone wall, let's try together."

Everyone poured spiritual power into the stone wall as they did not long ago, but the Phoenix wall was as stable as a rock, and no abnormal phenomenon occurred.

He Zhonghan shook his head: "Probably not."

Shen Budu looked at the bright red eyes of the phoenix, tried to cut a small slit with his thumb, and dripped blood on the phoenix totem.Xie Jianhuan couldn't stop him, so he gave him a reproachful look, took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped up the wound for him: "Does it hurt?"

Shen Budu laughed: "It will be fine in a while, what's the matter."

Xie Jianhuan frowned: "Let me come next time."

He Zhonghan looked at him with a strange expression.

What's wrong with you brothers and sisters.

Why do you still have sticky eyes when you talk so well?

But after dripping blood on it and waiting for a while, there was still no change in the Phoenix Wall. Xie Jianhuan and He Zhonghan also tried dripping blood, but there was still no response.

Du Xiangrong wanted to open the phoenix wall so much, he couldn't help dripping blood and tried it. Everyone didn't have any expectations before they came. Who knew that the blood dripped on the phoenix, and it started to flow along the line like running water, and soon Paint and dye a beautiful phoenix feather red to make the phoenix look more lifelike.

"My blood is useful!" Du Xiangrong blushed in surprise, and immediately took a knife to cut his hand again, and couldn't wait to drip the blood on Phoenix.

Phoenix reacted to his blood, what does that mean?It means that the treasure inside should belong to him!

"I open it and it's mine, Sect Master He, Palace Master Murong, you can't snatch it from me!"

Murong Yuanqing's expression was not good, obviously he couldn't figure out how Fenghuangbi would react to someone like Du Xiangrong.

Du Xiangrong was very excited at first, but he gradually realized that the phoenix totem was too big, and if he wanted to dye the whole pattern with blood, it might not be enough to drain him dry.

Good things have to be shared, so he had to compromise: "The rest of you also try?"

Li Caiying subconsciously glanced at Shen Budu, as if asking for advice, although she didn't understand why she did so.

Shen Budu nodded slightly.

So Li Caiying, Xiao Wangzhi, Murong Yuanqing and Zhou Qingtian also dripped blood on it.

Among the four, Fenghuangbi only reacted to Murong Yuanqing's blood.

Du Xiangrong let out a "hey" and said excitedly: "It seems that this treasure is destined to belong to Palace Master Murong and I."

Murong Yuanqing, who had been focusing on treasure hunting before, was not so happy at this time. He looked a little surprised, thought of something, and even wanted to withdraw his bleeding hand.Unexpectedly, the phoenix totem suddenly lit up, and started to crazily draw the blood of Murong Yuanqing and Du Xiangrong by himself!

The two were taken aback, they wanted to withdraw their hands but they couldn't withdraw them at all, the blood in their bodies flowed rapidly in a short time, and even their faces started to turn pale terribly!

At the same time, the phoenix totem was painted with bright and fiery red color little by little by the blood, from the beautiful and delicate feathers, to the elegant and slender neck, to the noble head... Finally, when Du Xiangrong collapsed on the ground and was about to faint When he died, the totem was completely filled with blood.

Murong Yuanqing's face was pale, holding his almost shriveled right hand, breathing tremblingly, watching the Phoenix stone wall slowly split from the middle.

The scene just now was really weird and terrifying. Almost all the people present felt chills in their backs. Xie Jianhuan protected Shen Budu behind him, put on [-] vigilance, and carefully looked at the open stone wall.

But it was pitch black inside, and there was nothing.

"It's all black?" Li Caiying looked in frightenedly, and suddenly squinted her eyes, "Wait, something seems to be lit..."

There was a faint red light in the darkness, like a cluster of flames, and then the red light became brighter and bigger, as if it was approaching them quickly...

Shen Budu suddenly changed his face: "It's Phoenix Divine Fire! Go, go!"

No need for him to say it a second time, everyone sensed an extremely dangerous and terrifying aura, and no longer cared about any treasures. Everyone quickly retreated to the way they came, but it was too late——

The phoenix fire was like a raging tide, rushing from the depths of the stone wall in the blink of an eye, rushing towards them with overwhelming force.Xie Jianhuan blocked the flames with his back, and hugged Shen Budu desperately.

Just when everyone thought they would be instantly burned to ashes by the Phoenix Divine Fire, a strange thing happened.

The sea of ​​flames had clearly engulfed their figures, but in the next moment, all the flames disappeared, and the tomb of the Phoenix disappeared. Everyone was shocked to find that the surroundings had completely changed——

The blue sky is high and wide, the land is vast, and the green trees are dense. Many big monsters that have never been seen before live freely in this land.

Shocking roar, giant python, roc, kun... and phoenix.

Xie Jianhuan let go of Shen Budu, his eyes blanked: "This is..."

Shen Budu said in a low voice: "It's the demon clan from thousands of years ago."

The Phoenix Divine Fire did not burn them to death, but presented them with a picture of the monster clan thousands of years ago.

Shen Budu saw the ancestor Phoenix.

Unexpectedly, the body of the ancestor Phoenix was not a noble and arrogant woman, nor a wise and generous old man, but a handsome young man with fiery red short hair.

The monster race respects their king very much. When every big monster sees a phoenix, they will respectfully kneel down and salute, more devout than the most loyal believers.

Because the phoenix is ​​the most powerful and pure existence in the world, the divine fire of the phoenix is ​​enough to wash away any darkness and evil, and protect all the monster races to live freely and carefree.

Phoenix has no pretensions either, he will smile brightly and chat with the big monsters he meets, and at night he will return to his original form, flying to the tallest plane tree for a comfortable sleep.

The life of the Yaozu thousands of years ago was very simple, without the various rules and regulations of today. The monsters eat, eat, sleep and sleep all day long, and visit each other to have fun. The life is so simple that it is almost monotonous, but people who look at it are a little envious.

Until one day, a human broke into the Yaozu's territory.

It was a young man, but he was very thin, with a handsome face like a woman's, long untwisted hair hanging down his waist, and he entered a land full of big monsters with a dazed expression, almost like he had strayed into a world surrounded by tigers and wolves. lamb.

The monster race is self-contained and never interacts with other races. In their impression, human beings are synonymous with weakness, so the monsters regard this man as a stray ant, ignore the monster, and just wait for him to leave by himself.

But the demons never expected that that human would actually fall into Phoenix's eyes.

Due to his noble and detached status, Phoenix spends most of his time alone. He drinks from the Liquan in the morning, and perches in the parasol tree at night. Sometimes he flies high and patrols the monster clan's territory before returning to the forest to comb his feathers.

But now, Phoenix had an extra human beside him.

That person has black hair and white clothes, looks like a girl, and always has a gentle smile on his face. He will sit side by side with Fenghuang on the tall plane tree and chat, and he will also play the piano for Fenghuang to listen to.

A big demon was puzzled, and asked their king in private: "Why do you want to be with a human being?"

Fenghuang smiled happily: "I used to think that human beings are small and fragile, but Qin is not like that."

That human's name is Qin.

"He looks weak, but he is very powerful, he can do almost everything! He told me a lot of things I never knew, and took me to the town of human beings, and I realized that human beings are actually very interesting and full of vitality, not us As imagined."

"Besides, he plays the piano very well!"

The big monsters were very surprised, they didn't expect a human being to be so favored by the Phoenix, but there is nothing wrong with making the Phoenix happy, so the monsters tacitly allowed this human named Qin to enter their territory.

But the demons did not expect that only three years later, Phoenix proposed to sign a soul contract with Qin.

All the monsters couldn't believe it, Qiqi strongly objected: "Absolutely not! You are our most noble and great king, how can you sign a contract with a human being and be restricted by a human being!"

Since ancient times, no demon has signed a soul contract with a human. All the demons regard the existence of this contract as a joke. They never dreamed that the first person who proposed to form a contract with a human was actually the phoenix they regarded as a god!

"I've already decided." Fenghuang still looks like a handsome young man, but compared to three years ago, there is more tenderness in his eyes, "Human life is too short, even monks only have a few hundred years , I want to share lifespan equally with Qin and have eternal life together.”

The lifespan of the phoenix god bird is almost infinite, and they have the ability of nirvana, and it is said that they can be immortal.

The big demons are willing to respect Phoenix's wishes, but they are worried about him: "You are too pure and kind, I am afraid that you will be deceived by humans."

"No." Fenghuang said with a smile, "How could he be faking all the kindness he has shown me?"

Qin is good to him, and he is willing to be good to Qin.Qin's life experience is very pitiful, his stepmother doesn't like him, and his younger brother is very self-willed, calling for his elder brother to catch the Phoenix to show him, but the stepmother really kicked Qin out of the house, saying that he would not go home if he could not catch the Phoenix.

The phoenix turned into a prototype, carried Qin to the sky above the human city, flew to Qin's hometown, and proudly circled three times while everyone was shocked and knelt down to worship, and then left with Qin.

The younger brother saw Fenghuang, but Fenghuang would not let Qin go back to that depressing place.

He will take good care of Qin, give Qin all the best in the world, and live happily together for the rest of his life.

But Qin's thoughts don't seem to be as simple as his. Qin often takes the phoenix to the world. At that time, there was no order in the world, and it was the most chaotic time. Although there was prosperity, there were more endless wars and killings.

Qin said, I don't want the endless chaos in my hometown to continue.

Phoenix asked, what should I do then?

Qin Rourou smiled.

"Like the Yaozu, they need a king."
