Chapter 36

Dan Yu looked at Bihua Lingjun's expression and felt that this expression satisfied the old man.

Bihua Lingjun's expression was obviously a little dazed, but his eyes still couldn't help lingering on the mirror.

Dan Yu then leaned towards Bihua Lingjun, put his arm around Bihua Lingjun's arm, and put his hand on the mirror handle. Suddenly, colorful lights flashed on the mirror, and the mirror surface changed into another picture.

It seemed to be the same sycamore tree and the same bird's nest, but the chick in the nest had changed its appearance. It was no longer a fluffy ball. Its feathers had grown out and were all bright scarlet, but the back of its tail was bald, and the corners of its mouth were a little yellow.

Dan Yu leaned against Bihua Lingjun's shoulder and smiled, "This one is a little bigger than I was just now, and it can already fly."

The little phoenix in the mirror jumped to the edge of the nest and tilted its head to look into the distance. The hair on its neck was still fluffy, and its eyes were still watery, energetic, and bright.

Dan Yu said modestly, "When I grow older, I might be as likable as I was just now, but it's still okay."

At this moment, a drop of dew from a leaf in the mirror dripped onto the little phoenix's head. It immediately closed its eyes and shook its head. Bihua Lingjun held the mirror and blurted out involuntarily, "Not really."

Dan Xie hummed, but remained silent.

The little phoenix flapped its wings and flew up. Its wings had just grown, so it was not very stable and could not fly high. It was about the height of a tree, flying crookedly from left to right. There were several times when it was about to crash into the tree, and Bihua Lingjun could not help but feel a pang in his heart.

After a while, it flew out of the woods. The little phoenix fluttered its wings under the empty sky, and suddenly flames burst out from its body, and it shot forward like a stone shot by a slingshot.

Dan Yu said, "Alas, at that time, I had already learned some basic magic, but I didn't dare to use it in the woods. I was afraid of burning the trees or hitting the trees. So I only used it after I left the woods."

Bihua Lingjun's eyes were glued to the mirror, and he responded vaguely. Dan Yu smiled and moved closer.

The little phoenix in the mirror had already flown far away and arrived at a rocky mountain. Below the rocky mountain was the sea, and the waves hit the rocks, splashing water like broken silver, splashing up and falling down. The little phoenix was circling on a slope of the rocky mountain facing the sea, as if looking for a place to land. Suddenly, it seemed to see something, and it circled and landed on a rock.

Dan Yu was just watching from the side, but when he saw this scene, he realized something was wrong. He had just obtained this mirror not long ago, and his power to trace back the past was not yet properly controlled. For example, it reflected things that should not be traced back.

But if he were to stop the spell at this time, it would be too obvious, so Dan Yu had no choice but to let the situation in the mirror continue.

After the little phoenix landed on the stone, it jumped forward. Bihua Lingjun then saw that in the crevice of the stone not far from the little phoenix, there was a small nest made of soft grass, in which a small, chubby baby dragon was sleeping.

Dan Yu had to admit that Fu Li, this old man, was still quite good-looking when he was having sex.

The scales on the young dragon's body have not yet grown out, and its skin is smooth and emerald green. The two horns on its head are still two small bumps. Its four little claws are holding a smooth, round pebble, and it is sleeping very comfortably.

Bihua Lingjun stared at the young dragon with an eager look in his eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of a doting smile at the corner of his mouth.

The young dragon's bulging belly rose and fell with the snoring, and Bihua Lingjun's fingers couldn't help but brush the mirror, as if she wanted to touch its belly.

Dan Yu glanced at Bihua Lingjun's fingers, still keeping his composure.

The little phoenix squatted on a stone, peered at the sleeping baby dragon, and suddenly flapped its wings, its body flashed red, and it turned into a child of seven or eight years old.

At this moment, he could already see some of Dan Yu's current appearance in his eyes and eyebrows. She was extremely delicate and beautiful, wearing a scarlet robe. He rolled up his sleeves, tiptoed to the sleeping dragon, took out a feather from somewhere, and poked the dragon's nose.

The young dragon exhaled heavily, rubbed its nose on the pebbles in its arms, still with its eyes tightly closed, squirmed a little, and continued to sleep soundly.

The little phoenix showed its teeth and smiled maliciously, continuing to pinch the feathers and poking the young dragon's nose again and again.

Dan Xie coughed and said, "Well, Qing Xi, when I was young, I was a little bit naughty. Everyone is like this when they are young. Looking back, it's cute, isn't it?"

Bihua Lingjun did not respond. She watched the little phoenix use its feathers to poke the young dragon, making it sneeze again and again. Finally, after a very violent sneeze, the young dragon struggled to open its eyes and woke up.

After confirming the culprit, the young dragon became furious. With a flash of green light, he turned into a boy about seven or eight years old. He rolled up his sleeves and pounced on the little phoenix. The two immediately started fighting.

They were evenly matched, and after a while both had bruises on their faces. The young dragon grabbed the sleeve of the little phoenix, tore off a piece of clothing, and threw it away. The clothing piece immediately turned into a cluster of feathers, which fluttered everywhere.

The little phoenix then flashed a burst of red light and turned back into a young phoenix. It flew into the air and spit out a cluster of flames, sweeping straight towards the young dragon.

The young dragon also transformed back into a dragon, spewing out a stream of water vapor, extinguishing the Phoenix Fire. Then it shook its head and tail, and spit out another lightning bolt, which struck the little Phoenix. The two young future Immortal Emperors fought fiercely in the sky.

Dan Yu said, "Children like to fight. When they grow up, they will no longer do such things." As he said this, the mirror body flashed again, and the scene on the mirror surface changed again: "You see, now it is older and more stable."

In the mirror, there are white clouds and blue sky, and a phoenix is perched on a sycamore branch. The yellow at the corners of its mouth has faded, and its tail feathers have grown out, with brilliant feathers, but its body seems to be slightly smaller than that of the current Danyu.

Dan Yu said, "Qing Xi, how do you feel about this time compared to the previous times?"

Bihua Lingjun said: "The original body of the Emperor's Throne is unique at all times."

The phoenix in the mirror was combing its feathers with its beak gracefully, with one wing slightly raised and its neck bent into a perfect arc. A green leaf fluttered down from the treetop above it and landed on its head.

The phoenix gently shook its head, and the leaf fell from its head. It was leisurely trying to continue preening its wings, but because its squatting posture was too graceful, its claws slipped and it fell headfirst from the tree.

The phoenix fell straight down, and finally flapped its wings before hitting the ground, flew up, turned and landed on the ground. After a flash of light, it turned into a young man in red clothes, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He looked around hurriedly to make sure that no one saw his embarrassed appearance, then he clenched his right fist, raised it to his mouth, coughed, and straightened his robe with pretended calmness.

Bihua Lingjun couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. Dan Yu said with shame: "At that time, I had just become a phoenix. At that age, I like to pretend, pay attention to exaggerated appearance, and act and speak and behave in a mature manner. There seems to be a word in the mortal world to describe this situation. Isn't it called makeup?"

Bihua Lingjun smiled and said, "I lived like this when I was a teenager in the mortal world. At that time, I would wave a folding fan in my hand in the middle of winter, and I thought it was extremely romantic."

Dan Yu said: "I remember that I had to bathe in the spring three or four times a day, and the spring water I went to bathe in had to be hidden because my feathers would be soaked after bathing, which was not good looking. I was afraid of being seen, so I would sneak in and wait until they were dry before going out."

Bihua Lingjun said: "Wouldn't it be enough to transform into a human body after bathing?"

Dan Yu said, "It's not that easy. Look at my clothes now. They are still red. It's not that I like red. When I was young, there were no immortal books and immortal guidance from the predecessors. Our generation had nothing. We were born with immortal power and then we practiced little by little. At this time, when I turned into a human form, the clothes on my body were made of my own phoenix feathers. If the feathers are wet, the clothes will be wet."

Bihua Lingjun seemed to want to say something, moved his lips slightly, and then swallowed.

Dan Yu asked, "Why don't you just tell me what you want to say?"

Bihua Lingjun paused for a moment before saying, "I... was just thinking, if you were the emperor, what would you look like if you took off your clothes at that time..."

Dan Yu immediately said, "Although I am no longer the same person I was back then, I can still transform back to my former appearance. Qing Xi, if you want to see, I can transform back and take off my clothes for you to see. If you think it's inconvenient here, then go find a hot spring and soak in it together. I'll take off my clothes for you to see."

Dan Yu's eyes were burning and his expression was very sincere.

Bihua Lingjun said: "Emperor, please don't misunderstand. What I meant is that if you took off your clothes and changed back to your original form..."

Dan Yu said, "I didn't misunderstand. Qingxi, what you said about taking off clothes is equivalent to plucking all my feathers. I can turn into a phoenix without feathers for you to see. I guess it's not much different from that roast chicken." He narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "Qingxi, did you think of something else?"

Bihua Lingjun said: "No, no."

The young man in red in the mirror bent down to pick up the leaves that had just fallen, put them to his mouth and blew on them. The leaves were blown upwards and made several circles in the wind.

The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled, then left.

The blue sky, green trees, bright sun and white clouds all became incredibly beautiful in an instant.

The seven-colored stream of light flashed again, and the image in the mirror changed again. The wind was raging, and the clouds were rolling. In the clouds, a huge fire phoenix was circling and soaring. It spewed fire from its mouth, and its wings flapped out a strong wind. The wind carried the fire and rolled towards the opposite side. Thick smoke billowed, and in the smoke, there were figures of demons running away with their heads in their hands, and...

Dan Yu stroked his chin and said, "This is what happened when I conquered the demons. I shouldn't talk about my bravery back then, but I'll just review it for fun. Qing Xi, you see, I was still pretty brave at that time."

Bihua Lingjun nodded and said, "Very brave, but, Emperor, are you subduing demons at this time?"

Dan Yu nodded and said, "Yes."

Bihua Lingjun said: "Well, then why did I see that the one being burned by your Phoenix Fire on the throne was Emperor Fuli?"

The phoenix's two wings were fanning vigorously, making the fire extremely strong. The flames burned countless figures of demons, but where the flames were pointing was a green dragon with shiny scales.

Dan Yu said, "It's a bit sad to say it. At that time, we were all young and energetic, competing for the merits of destroying the demons, so it was inevitable that there would be friction and sometimes small conflicts. I knew that I couldn't burn him to death, so I burned him so much. Fu Li could withstand this kind of fire. Didn't you see that he was also spraying water to summon thunder and lightning, and the thunder and lightning were all directed at my crown, but I didn't have any other problems, just a broad mind and a big heart, and I never cared about him. Alas, now, these things have long been stale and moldy, let alone mentioned. Putting this aside, Qingxi, you see, compared with Fu Li at this time, I am more out of shape than when I was a child."

Bihua Lingjun hummed, and Danxie smiled with satisfaction.

In a blink of an eye, the scene of fierce battle turned into a figure standing alone beside a stone pillar in the clouds.

His black hair fell to his shoulders, smooth as satin, and his long robe with wide sleeves made him look elegant and leisurely. His face at this moment was completely like that of Dan Yu now, and he was slowly wiping the long sword stained with devil's blood, as if he was admiring a newly picked peach blossom or a willow branch with new leaves, elegant and leisurely. It was impossible to imagine that he had just been through a fierce battle, and it was even more impossible to imagine that he was the big phoenix flapping its wings to fan the wind.

Bihua Lingjun looked at the mirror, and Danyu looked at him with a smile: "Qingxi, you see, actually, it's not bad at this time."

Bihua Lingjun said nothing, and the situation in the mirror finally disappeared, turning it into an ordinary mirror. Dan Yu took the mirror back and played with it in his hands: "Qing Xi, cultivating immortals requires being spontaneous, do you know why?"

Bihua Lingjun said: "I am willing to listen to the emperor's teachings."

Dan Yu said: "Not being rigid and not being attached is to be spontaneous. And everything will always change. For example, in the mortal world, there are mulberry fields and vast seas, and in heaven, there are clouds and mists gathering and dispersing. Like the little fairy beasts in your mansion, they will grow up one day, just like the fluffy young phoenix that year, which has become me. The immortals, who are immortal, must not only face all changes with an unchanging heart, but also change with the changes. Like you once said, some of those who grew up in your mansion are still kept. The young ones will eventually grow up, but in fact, if you look at it with a non-rigid eye, , the older is to the younger, just like the gathering and dispersal of floating clouds, why not treat it with a consistent heart? This is to deal with change with the unchanging. And the younger will always become the older, which is to prove that the older is better than the younger. Just like me, if I still remain that fluffy young phoenix, it will definitely not work, and the current status quo is the best. Therefore, you should cherish and protect the young, you have done a good job, but for the older, you might as well take a further attitude, which is to change with the change. I wonder if you think what I said makes sense?"

Bihua Lingjun nodded and said, "It seems as if I have been enlightened. My eyes have been opened."

Dan Yu said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Bihua Lingjun nodded again: "I understand."

A breeze blew through the pavilion, the light was bright, and clouds and mists lingered lightly.

Bihua Lingjun looked at Danyu and said slowly, "I heard that there is a fairy island in the southeast of the Heavenly Palace. It is very quiet. There is a hot spring in one of the mountains. I wonder if the emperor is willing to go there with me?"
