On the second day, in the land of Qingzhou, a rare sunny day appeared.
Seeing this scene, the people of Qingzhou came out of the house one after another, with smiles that they had not seen for a long time, gathered in twos and threes, and talked about what happened last night.
"You can't read it wrong. At that time, I was coaxing the child to sleep. I clearly saw a red phoenix hovering in the night sky more than ten miles away, but the phoenix appeared for a while and then disappeared. gone."
"I saw it too. At first I thought I was wrong, but after watching it a few times, it really is Phoenix."
"Meeting the red phoenix is a good omen. No wonder the sun is out today. This is really rare."
"Yeah yeah… "
All the people gathered together to discuss the encounter with Red Phoenix last night. After discussing for a long time, they went back to the house one by one and began to dry the quilts and clothes.
Qingzhou has not seen the sun for several months, and the damp and moldy smell brought by the rain is gradually fading under the sunshine.
…
At the same time, a group of people who went to the border yesterday also turned back to Qingzhou at this time.
"Brother Li, what happened? Why didn't you go to the border all of a sudden?" Qin Muyue got out of the carriage, chased after Chu Li, and watched Chu Li walk step by step towards the house where Qingzhou lived.
Chu Li walked towards the courtyard in a hurry with a blank face, his lips were pursed into a line, and along the way, there was an unapproachable atmosphere all over his body.
Qin Muyue still wanted to catch up, but she stopped after sensing something strange in the eyes around her.
Chu Li returned to the house, saw that Qin Muyue hadn't caught up, turned around and looked at Ding Xian behind him, "Did you find anything about that red phoenix last night?"
Ding Xian shook his head, with a sad expression on his face, "The subordinate went to Qingfeng Mountain to investigate the next morning, and there was no trace left there."
After the words fell, Ding Xian saw that Chu Li's face completely darkened.
The red phoenix that His Highness has been looking for for so long unexpectedly appeared on Qingfeng Mountain last night. When the fire phoenix first appeared, the red light illuminated the surrounding night sky for tens of miles.
It was also because of the appearance of the red phoenix that Chu Li, who had already reached the border, resolutely turned back to look for the fire phoenix.
"Where's Mu Yunjin?!" Chu Li entered the room, but he didn't see Mu Yunjin's figure, so he frowned and asked.
Xiao Ju came up to meet her, and immediately knelt down towards Chu Li, kowtowed several times, and said with a hint of tears, "Please forgive me, the princess disappeared after taking a bath last night..."
"Disappeared?" Chu Li was taken aback, his eyes were bloodshot, suppressing his anger, "Song Chun!"
Song Chun loomed from one side, and when he saw Chu Li, he also knelt down, "This subordinate is useless, please punish him, Your Highness!"
Ding Xian on the side took a deep breath, secretly said that the situation is not good.
Chu Li clenched his fists, stepped into the room, checked the clothes in Mu Yunjin's closet, and saw a half-packed bag on the bed that was not taken away, his face darkened to the bottom.
"Send out all the hidden guards to track down Mu Yunjin's whereabouts!" Chu Li flicked his sleeves, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he walked out of the door of the wing room, his eyes were dark.
Ding Xian and Song Chun were stunned. There were more than 3,000 hidden guards beside His Highness, and they were all scattered in this corner. Now, in order to find the princess, they have to dispatch all the hidden guards. Maybe the princess is just going anywhere. Swim away!
It seems that His Highness is really using affection for the princess now.
…
"Master, why are you here?" In an unused thatched cottage, Qin Muyue looked at the old man in Taoist robe in surprise.
The old man in front of him was Taoist Qiuye.
Taoist Qiuye brushed his beard, lowered his eyebrows and looked at Qin Muyue, "Yue'er, Huang Nu has appeared!"
"I also saw the red phoenix last night. Master, do you know who the phoenix girl is?" Qin Muyue was also extremely surprised, and couldn't help but reached out and stroked her back.
"Mu Yunjin!" Taoist Qiuye said the name almost word for word.
Qin Muyue took a step back in surprise, her eyes widened, a little unbelievable, "Mu Yunjin? It's her?"
"No, it's impossible! Master, Mu Yunjin is just a mediocre idiot, how could she be a phoenix girl!" Qin Muyue shook her head, unwilling to believe it.
Taoist Qiuye sighed, "Last night, she saw through the flood in Qingzhou caused by praying for rain for the teacher. The teacher wanted to deal with her on the spot, but when she was about to succeed, the fire phoenix flew out of her back. killed her."
"Then where is she now? Since she has seen through the flood in Qingzhou and is a phoenix girl, she can't be spared no matter what!" Qin Muyue took a step forward anxiously, staring at Qiuye intently. Taoist.
"He was rescued." Taoist Qiuye said.
Hearing this, Qin Muyue's eyes became more and more cold as water. She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and her nails were embedded in her flesh.
For so many years, she relied on her identity as a phoenix girl to successfully approach Chu Li and stay by Chu Li's side. It was precisely for this reason that Chu Li agreed to some small requests she had made.
But since Mu Yunjin appeared, Chu Li's attitude towards her has become a bit colder, and even now, even as a phoenix girl, she can't let her stay by Chu Li's side.
She had hated Mu Yunjin for a long time, but today her master told her that Mu Yunjin was actually a phoenix girl!
If that's the case, wouldn't she have completely lost Chu Li
No, she is not reconciled!
Why is it Mu Yunjin!
Qiu Ye seemed to see through what Qin Muyue was thinking, and sneered, "Why are you panicking? What does my teacher teach you? Don't be too pessimistic about anything."
"Master, do you have a solution?" Qin Muyue caught a glimmer of life from Taoist Qiuye's words.
Taoist Qiuye snorted, raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Mu Yunjin was injured by my teacher last night. Although she was rescued, it is still unknown whether she is dead or alive."
"It just so happens that the teacher saw the real body of the fire phoenix last night, and today I can use illusion to reproduce the fire phoenix from last night."
"Yue'er, the identity of Huang Nu can only be you."
…
"The fire and phoenix came down last night, and today is the sun on earth. It's really a good omen, a good omen, hahaha!"
Holding a wooden sword, Taoist Qiuye walked on a street in Qingzhou, yelling and laughing with his mouth open, and his voice was not low, attracting many people to watch.
All the people saw him face to face, and a few curious people looked over, "Hey, Taoist priest, have you also seen the red phoenix?"
"That's natural. As an old Taoist, I watched the sky at night and calculated the position of Huofeng in Qingzhou with my fingers, so I rushed here overnight." Taoist Qiuye sat cross-legged on the ground.
Having said that, many people passing by were curious, gathered around, and looked at Taoist Qiuye, "Master, you mean that the red phoenix is in this position?"
"That's right!" Qiu Ye nodded, pinching her fingers and counting, "Not only that, the fire phoenix is not just a red phoenix, but a kind of celestial phenomenon. This kind of celestial phenomenon is usually caused by some people's good thoughts in their previous lives. Specially endowed with this kind of celestial spirit art. Therefore, even if you are a mortal, you may not really be a mortal."
Many people were stunned by Taoist Qiuye's words, scratched their heads, and looked puzzled, "Daoist, what do you mean, this fire phoenix was changed by humans?"
"That man has turned into a phoenix, isn't that a monster? How can you say it's Tianling?"
Taoist Qiuye looked at the commoner who spoke, and shook his head, "No, no."
"From ancient times to the present, the son of heaven is a dragon, and the mother of the country is a phoenix. The dragon and phoenix symbolize auspiciousness. How can it be a monster? Now, the fire phoenix suddenly appeared in the world. Today is the sky in Qingzhou. You say that the fire phoenix is a monster. Or Tianling?"
After such an explanation, all the people understood and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, the Taoist priest is right."
"However, you just said that the red phoenix was transformed by a human being, so you may have guessed who that person is? If we can find this person, we must make a good confession and pay homage to her every day as a god."
The old man Qiuye smiled when he heard the words, and when he was about to speak, there was a cold shout from the side—
"Where did the charlatan come from, to deceive the public with lies!"
Qin Muyue looked at Taoist Qiuye who was surrounded by the common people with a cold face, pushed aside the crowd and walked in, "Don't believe this kind of charlatan, he just wants to take the opportunity to defraud you of money."
At the end of the sentence, Qin Muyue looked at Taoist Qiuye, "You old man, you dare to act wild in Qingzhou when you have nothing to do. I will let you go today because you are old. If you dare to spread rumors for money again, I will never forgive you!"
Taoist Qiuye glanced at Qin Muyue, suddenly exclaimed, sat up from the ground, then stretched out his right hand, and made a calculation.
"The girl is full of heaven, and her gold and jade are really beautiful. Can you allow the old man to make a fortune for you?" Taoist Qiuye looked at Qin Muyue.
"Leave quickly, or don't blame me for having no eyes in my sword." Qin Muyue stared at Taoist Qiuye.
Taoist Qiuye took a few steps back, then scratched his head, pointed at Qin Muyue, and exclaimed to the people beside him, "This girl has aura, it seems to be the aura of Huofeng."
"What? Vice General Qin?"
"No way, Vice General Qin is the Red Phoenix from last night?"
"If it's Vice General Qin, it's no surprise at all. She's already the most legendary woman in Xiyuan Kingdom!"
"Yes, yes, Vice General Qin was not in our Qingzhou last night, is it really Huofeng?"
Qin Muyue frowned, looked at the people around her, and looked at Taoist Qiuye with displeasure, "Don't confuse people with evil words here, the appearance of the fire and phoenix is a rare auspicious omen in a hundred years. To avoid being held accountable by this general, but to label this general as such!"
"Miss doesn't seem to believe it." Taoist Qiuye looked regretful, and then raised his eyebrows again, "Old Taoist, I have learned the art of psychic communication, and I have a way to make you appear as a fire phoenix."
"I believe that many people here have seen the fire phoenix last night. I believe you can freely decide whether it is true or not."
After the words fell, the crowd began to boo.
Qin Muyue stood on the spot, exchanged a look with Taoist Qiuye, and then saw Taoist Qiuye squatting down, clasped his hands, and chanted a spell.
After a while, the fingertips gradually condensed colorful rays of light, sweeping towards Qin Muyue's body, Qin Muyue's whole body was enveloped by that colorful light.
Gradually, red smoke rose slowly from Qin Muyue's back, and saw the fire phoenix hovering on the top of Qingfeng Mountain last night, now coming out from behind Qin Muyue, howling and flapping red wings...
