Phoenix? Could it really be a phoenix
Chen Xiao's heart was shaking, and he was already stunned on the spot. He was thinking about the scene just now, the tone and the voice of the man in red robe just now. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed like it!
Chen Xiao suddenly remembered something in his mind - he remembered the time when he was injured and hospitalized in China more than a month ago, and Fenghuang came to see him. There were three girls gathered in the ward that time, and Fenghuang was already quite dissatisfied at that time. , I remember Phoenix said at that time that she rushed back from Japan temporarily.
In other words, Phoenix may indeed be in Japan!
The more Chen Xiao thought about it, the more guilty he felt.
He had just accepted Zhang Xiaotao's feelings, and his relationship with Phoenix was an unavoidable problem in his heart. But there is no solution for the moment, so I can only temporarily feel sad, jump into the river and close my eyes, and we will talk about the next thing later.
But in the end, I didn’t expect to meet Phoenix so soon!
Moreover, to put it this way, Phoenix should be his real girlfriend. It seems that he is having an affair behind Phoenix’s back...
Feeling uneasy in my heart, I couldn't help but froze.
Takeuchi Fumzan ran up quickly from the bottom of the mountain. Old Takeuchi looked quite embarrassed. His robe was crooked and full of dust. His hair was messy, his breathing was short, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead.
The old man rushed to the top of the mountain and saw Tang Ying lying under the big tree on the top of the mountain. Sato also fell aside. He saw that the two girls were just unconscious and not injured. Takeuchi Fumzan seemed to be relieved. Then he saw a corpse under the tree. It was the masked man in black. His head was missing. There were two broken black flags on the ground. One of the flags was shattered. Although the other flag was not broken, it was still intact. Already dilapidated.
Takeuchi Wenshan looked at the body of the man in black on the ground and saw the two flags clearly, and couldn't help but take a sharp breath! An old face suddenly changed color!
"Chen Xiao!" He quickly ran to Chen Xiao's side. Seeing Chen Xiao standing there in a daze, he thought he was injured. Old Takeuchi patted Chen Xiao hard, and Chen Xiao came to his senses, shook his head, and saw After clearing the sight of the person in front of him, he took a deep breath and said, "Well, Mr. Takeuchi, I'm fine."
"What happened just now?" Takeuchi Fumzan looked around vigilantly.
Chen Xiao had calmed down and suppressed the matter about Phoenix for the time being. He glanced at the people and corpses on the ground and briefly talked about what had just happened.
"A man in white and a man in black? You killed the man in black and the man in white ran away?"
"Well, that's probably it." Chen Xiao nodded.
Lao Zhuuchi's expression became more solemn, and he carefully asked Chen Xiao for some details. For example, when the man in white left, Chen Xiao clearly hit him with a knife, but in the end he found that the man's body had turned into a piece of paper. …
"This is Onmyoji's Illusion Technique!" Old Takeuchi's voice was a little heavy, the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched faintly twice, and his tone became a little dry: "If I'm not wrong, the two people you met , the one in black clothes that you killed was Masashi Yiren, and the one in white clothes with silver hair should be the famous Abe Yiming! Both of them are famous onmyojis in Japan, especially Ampei Yiming, whose roots are He is from the prominent Ampei family among the Onmyoji sect!"
This was not the first time Chen Xiao heard the name "Onmyoji", but he didn't have an accurate idea of what Onmyoji was, so he looked at Takeuchi Fumzan in confusion. Takeuchi Fumzan didn't explain much, just chopped it to the ground angrily, and shouted angrily: "These two scum! They are still not Japanese! As Japanese, they dare to attack the royal family! This is unforgivable betray!!"
No wonder Old Takeuchi was so angry and annoyed. You know, in the hearts of Japanese people, the high status of the Japanese royal family is incredible to foreigners. In the minds of many Japanese people, the Emperor of Japan is no longer a "person", but a god-like existence. Moreover, the Japanese royal family has always regarded itself as the descendants of "gods". All the knowledge and education about the royal family that Japanese people have received since childhood promote the concept that the royal family is the descendants of gods, which makes it really true in the hearts of Japanese people. They regard the royal family as a sacred and inviolable clan of gods.
In Japan, some people may commit murder and arson, some may break laws and commit crimes, and some may even rebel against the government... However, few people dare to rebel against the royal family! Even if someone really thinks so behind the scenes, they don’t dare to express it publicly!
And openly being an enemy of the royal family is simply unthinkable in Japan!
At this moment, Chen Xiao's mind was still a little confused by the man in red robe with a voice that sounded like a phoenix. He didn't have the intention to think more about Lao Zhuuchi's words, and he stopped talking beside him.
Soon, a fire broke out in the Akiyoshi Palace at the foot of the mountain, attracting countless fire trucks. Although the location here is a bit remote, after all, this is the ancient city of Kyoto in Japan, where the royal family gathers. In a place like this, a palace where members of the royal family live was burned down by fire, which soon attracted countless fire convoys.
At the top of the mountain, Chen Xiao saw more than a dozen fire trucks gathered around the Qiuyoshi Palace at the bottom of the mountain. There were many car lights flashing on the road in the distance, and no one knew how many convoys were coming quickly. There was a roar of people down the mountain, and firefighters were working hard to put out the fire. There are also police car lights flashing, and there are many people at the foot of the mountain. You can see that someone is already searching up the mountain.
Lao Zhuuchi stared at the foot of the mountain for a while, and then he saw dozens of figures running up quickly in the forest. He saw clearly that the other person's outfit was not a policeman, but a simple Japanese samurai costume. Lao Zhuuchi Nai then breathed a sigh of relief: "They are secret guards sent by the Imperial Household Agency."
Lao Zhunei greeted him. Several secret guards were shocked when they saw Lao Zhunei. Then a group of people immediately bowed down respectfully. Chen Xiao looked at Lao Zhunei from a distance and whispered something to those people. , and then those people looked more and more respectful and vigilant, and soon they automatically divided into two groups. One group of people turned around and ran down the mountain, probably to continue to mobilize manpower. The remaining seven or eight people did not dare to continue going up the mountain. Instead, they quickly formed a defensive circle about dozens of meters away from the top of the mountain and completed the warning around them.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao thought for a moment, thinking about Zhang Xiaotao who was still on the roadside, and said: "Mr. Takeuchi, I think there is nothing that needs my help here. I still have friends waiting for me..."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but Takeuchi Fumzan held his shoulders with a solemn expression: "Chen Xiaojun, please don't leave in a hurry!"
Seeing Chen Xiao's expression change, Takeuchi Fumzan quickly said: "Please don't misunderstand! You have helped me so much, please give me a chance to thank you! If it hadn't been for you today, I'm afraid His Highness would have been kidnapped." Got it!"
"That's not necessarily the case." Chen Xiao shook his head: "As I said just now, a man wearing a red robe and a bronze mask ran out in the end. It seems that he is not in the same group as these two Onmyojis."
"Anyway, if it weren't for you, His Highness would have been kidnapped by that red-robed guy even if he hadn't been kidnapped by these two onmyoji scum. You have done me a big favor. Please be sure to stay and give me a chance to thank you. !" Old Takeuchi paused vigorously and even bowed solemnly.
The secret guards of the palace hall standing in the distance saw Master Takeuchi bowing to a young man from a distance, and they couldn't help but feel shocked in their hearts: What is the identity of that boy? Fan Du, the master of royal swordsmanship, was so respectful to him? Even the children of the royal family can only bow when they see Master Fan! In the entire royal family, the only ones who can deserve such respect from Master Fan are His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Queen! Even the current crown prince, because he is Takeuchi Fumzan's registered disciple and has the title of master and disciple with him, so even if Takeuchi Fumzan sees the crown prince, he does not need to bow!
How could the secret guards of the Imperial Household Agency not be horrified to see Takeuchi Fumiyama being so respectful to a boy who looked so young? !
Chen Xiao frowned. He really wasn't in the mood to have anything to do with these Japanese affairs anymore. He just came to help because he just saw Akiyoshi Palace in danger. Now that he saw it, if he just sat back and ignored it, he would always feel a little guilty. Besides, Mainly for Tang Ying's sake. Now that everything is fine, I naturally want to leave.
Just as he was preparing words of rejection, Takeuchi Fumzan had already approached and lowered his voice: "Then Masashi Yiren died in your hands, and you killed an Onmyoji. This is not a small matter! Chen Xiaojun, I still have some I’m telling you something important, please stay! I don’t dare to forcefully stop you from leaving, I just ask you to stay for one night! Just one night! If you must leave tomorrow, I will send someone to take you away immediately!”
"...Okay." Chen Xiao looked at Lao Zhuuchi's solemn expression and finally nodded reluctantly.
…
Zhang Xiaotao was hiding behind the big tree on the side of the road. Ever since Chen Xiao left, he kept hearing the sound of fire and explosions coming from Qiuji Palace in the distance, as well as the sound of buildings collapsing. She was scared and worried at the same time, and she couldn't help but want to rush back to find Chen Xiao several times, but she remembered Chen Xiao's instructions before leaving, and she also knew that she was a flabbergasted girl. Even if she ran back, she would still be there. It would become a burden to Chen Xiao. In the end, he did not move and could only sit under the big tree and wait patiently.
I don’t know how long it took, but the voices from the direction of Akiyoshi Palace gradually calmed down. The fire was still strong, but it seemed to have been controlled.
On the road in the distance, I could clearly see the lights of a motorcade coming quickly from a distance at night, as well as the sirens of fire engines.
This big tree was far away from the road. Zhang Xiaotao hid behind the tree and did not dare to show his head, but he became more and more anxious.
Suddenly, she heard a "swipe" sound coming from behind her!
It was night at this moment, in the wilderness. This movement immediately shocked Zhang Xiaotao. When he turned around, he saw that the vegetation in the wilderness was the same as before, without any movement.
She felt a little calmer in her heart, and then turned around, but as soon as her body turned around, her face suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but scream "Ah"!
This exclamation was only halfway out, and a hand had already gently covered her mouth.
"Don't scream, I won't hurt you."
One hand covered Zhang Xiaotao's mouth. Zhang Xiaotao suddenly felt that his body was stiff, and he couldn't exert any strength. It was as if he had been hit by a restraining spell. He felt that not a single thought of struggle could come out in his heart, as if his entire body was unable to move. Everyone seems to be in a nightmare!
In front of her eyes was a bronze mask with a green face, fangs, and ferocious features.
The figure in front of him, dressed in a bright red robe, looked particularly eye-catching in the night, and the bronze mask looked even more like a ghost!
A girl suddenly saw such a person in the wild at night. She didn't faint from fright. It was already considered that Zhang Xiaotao's nerves were strong enough.
Zhang Xiaotao and the bronze masked man were very close, and he could clearly feel that the other person's eyes were looking at him carefully through the two small holes in the mask, and his eyes were full of a strange smell...
"Well, you're beautiful."
After watching for half a minute, the bronze masked man suddenly said this.
The other party's voice was sonorous and powerful, as if it was made of metal, and Zhang Xiaotao felt even more frightened after hearing it.
This guy calls me beautiful? What does it mean
Ruined! Could it be that he encountered a lustful demon? !
When she thought about this, Zhang Xiaotao was so frightened that her body became weak, her face turned pale, and her eyes were full of fear.
"I didn't want to hurt you, I just wanted to see you." The bronze mask got a little closer, staring at Zhang Xiaotao's face: "I'm just curious about what kind of girl he fell in love with."
As he said that, his tone became a little weird and a little cold: "Now it seems that you are very beautiful... but it is nothing more than that, there is nothing special about it."
"You... what... who are you?" Zhang Xiaotao's voice was trembling.
"I?"
The bronze masked man finally took a few steps back. This action made Zhang Xiaotao feel a little relieved, but then the guy's words made Zhang Xiaotao's face even paler!
"I am Chen Xiao's enemy, and I came to take revenge on him!" For some reason, Zhang Xiaotao felt that there was a hint of joking in the other person's eyes. She was confused at the moment and couldn't think much about it, but she was frightened by this sentence. A jump!
"Hmph!" The bronze masked man sneered: "Do you think Chen Xiao is very capable, so you think I am incapable of revenge?"
Amidst the sneer of the bronze-masked man, he suddenly raised his palm casually and gave the big tree next to him a soft blow.
With a sound of "wave!", a few meters away, a clear palm print suddenly appeared on the trunk of the big tree! It's deeply embedded in the tree trunk!
Zhang Xiaotao curled his lips subconsciously. Although the power of this palm seemed quite scary, Zhang Xiaotao had already seen what Chen Xiao was capable of and felt that compared to Chen Xiao's divine power, this palm was nothing more than that.
But then, her expression froze!
From the handprint on the big tree, countless fine sawdust suddenly floated up, and then I saw the sawdust on the trunk being corroded and shaken off quickly!
The whole big tree seemed to be completely extinct. Countless branches and leaves withered instantly, all the green leaves turned yellow, and the leaves fell like raindrops! !
Less than half a minute later, the whole tree collapsed! ! It turned into a pile of rotten wood! !
With such a magical ability, even if Zhang Xiaotao is a layman, he can clearly see that this ghostly guy seems to be much more powerful than Chen Xiao! !
"Now, do you believe it?" The bronze masked man's voice was cold and emotionless.
"I..." Zhang Xiaotao gritted his teeth hard, feeling extremely frightened in his heart, but he bit the bullet and said, "What do you want to do!"
"It's very simple. Chen Xiao owes me a life. I want to get it back from him." There was a hint of mockery in the voice of the bronze mask: "You are his woman, right?"
"...Yes!" Zhang Xiaotao puffed up his chest.
But unexpectedly, her answer made the bronze masked man's eyes suddenly become more angry.
"Okay! I just want him to save his life! Either I kill him now, or I kill you! It's the same anyway!"
Zhang Xiaotao didn't hesitate at all: "Just kill me."
“…”
The bronze masked man suddenly froze, then took two steps back and looked at Zhang Xiaotao coldly: "My method of killing is a bit complicated. For such a beautiful girl like you, I will break your face first, and then..."
"Whatever you want." Zhang Xiaotao suddenly calmed down and stared at the other person: "You are in front of me now. I can't resist you. I can't resist you no matter how much you want to torture me. But I tell you, even if You are very powerful, but Chen Xiao will not let you go! Even if you kill me, Chen Xiao will avenge me!"
"...Do you trust him so much?"
Zhang Xiaotao's eyes flashed and her tone was firm: "I believe every word he says! I believe every word! I am his woman, a woman, how can I not have confidence in my man?!"
The bronze masked man seemed to be stunned, then suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Okay! I will kill you!"
Zhang Xiaotao's heart sank and he closed his eyes.
But after a while, the opponent's palm did not fall. When he opened his eyes, the bronze masked man seemed to be watching quietly.
"You're not too bad."
The bronze masked man suddenly said these words, and then his palm fell on Zhang Xiaotao's neck. Zhang Xiaotao closed his eyes, his body went limp, and he fell down.
The bronze masked man looked at the fainted girl in front of him, helped her flat on the ground, and sighed deeply.
In that sigh, there was anger, grievance, and a bit of resentment.
Suddenly he stamped his feet vigorously, turned to a bush on the side of the road and shouted loudly: "Hey! Uncle Tian, have you seen enough?"
Behind the big tree, a man in a mechanic's uniform with oil stains on his clothes came out, touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "Did you notice it?"
"Hmph!" The voice of the bronze masked man was filled with annoyance: "You were kind to that boy! He ran to save others, and you are still here to help him guard his little girlfriend!"
After a pause, his voice became angry: "Why didn't you come forward when I scared her just now? Aren't you afraid that I would get really angry and do something?"
Lao Tian smiled coquettishly: "You don't know how. If you can do that kind of thing, you won't be you. Okay, Fenghuang'er, it's a girl's house. Just be jealous and vindictive. I know you won't be so messy in doing things. Here you go. After that boy returns to China, I will help you teach him a lesson, okay?"
This bronze masked man is naturally the Phoenix.
She simply didn't even use the disguised metallic sound, and used her original delicate and crisp voice, glaring at Lao Tian with a bit of anger: "Uncle Tian! You can be regarded as my relative! Why can't you turn your arms outward! You too You actually helped that philandering little bastard instead of helping me!! You! You are still here helping him protect his little girlfriend!"
"No! Don't get angry at me." Lao Tian raised his hand and said with a smile: "That boy doesn't know I'm here. I was bored at home and just came to Japan for a stroll."
After a pause, Lao Tian sighed, looked at Phoenix with a bit of pity in his eyes, and said softly: "Okay, daughter, I know you feel wronged, but I also know you are a good girl. If If it were a woman like Zhu Rong here, I'm afraid she would have scratched this girl's face. You are a good girl, and I know you will not anger others. Next time you see that boy, cut him into pieces. , I will never help Uncle Tian, okay?"
Phoenix was so angry that he stamped his feet: "Bah! Who wants to... cut him... to pieces... and cut him into pieces! Huh, if you piss me off, I'll cut him!"
When he said this, he blushed with embarrassment. Fortunately, he was covered by a bronze mask and Lao Tian couldn't see it.
The girl was resentful and angry, but Lao Tian was smart enough not to say anything like this and pretended not to hear it.
Phoenix took a deep breath and then said seriously: "Tell that boy to go back early if nothing happens. Things here in Japan are a bit complicated and the water is very deep. It's best for him not to get involved in it. Otherwise, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to keep him safe. Well, he killed an Onmyoji on the mountain today, and he killed Masashi. I'm afraid he's in trouble now. Those people didn't pay attention to such a small character like him, but now If this happens, I'm afraid he will be registered there in the future, so please tell him to be careful."
After saying that, Fenghuang turned around and left. Behind him, Lao Tian said loudly: "Don't you see him?"
"See him? I can't wait to chop him with a knife!"
Although Fenghuang's words were harsh, a soft feeling suddenly came over her heart. In the blink of an eye, she saw Zhang Xiaotao lying on the ground, and her heart suddenly hardened again. She felt bitter in her heart. She stamped her feet, swayed her body, and disappeared into the night. middle.
Lao Tian sighed, shook his head and said to himself: "Girls' families are really bad these days. They are jealous and want to kill people at every turn."
He smiled slightly, raised his finger, and scratched it back and forth a few times, leaving a trace of writing on the ground. Lao Tian took a closer look and suddenly heard footsteps in the distance. He shook his head: "This kid who does ridiculous things, go back and teach him a lesson."
After saying that, his body sank into the bushes and disappeared.
…
Chen Xiao ran all the way and saw from a distance that the big tree had collapsed on the ground and turned into a pile of rotten sawdust like flour. When he looked again, Zhang Xiaotao fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead! This scene almost scared Chen Xiao out of his wits! A few people rushed over in big strides, almost staggering and falling in their excitement.
He threw himself on the ground, picked up Zhang Xiaotao, and checked carefully, and found that she was only knocked unconscious without any damage, and he felt a little relieved.
After looking around for a while, he suddenly saw a few words carved on the ground next to him. The handwriting was three-quarters of the way into the soil and was crooked. The words made Chen Xiao's face suddenly look strange.
The first sentence is: "You killed the Onmyoji, be careful of getting into trouble, pay attention to safety, and go home early."
What’s even weirder is the second sentence:
"Someone has upset the jealousy! Just wish yourself well!"
