I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 181 The Suzaku Theory
When Zuo Dao and the two of them just arrived in front of Tongfu Inn, the waiter noticed them.

To be precise, he noticed the horse the two of them were sitting on.

This Mocheng is the city closest to the border in the Daxuan Dynasty, and the people who come and go are basically traveling merchants or caravans.

Most of those people's horses are mainly used to pull goods, and their endurance and footwork are the main ones.

But right now, the horses Zuo Dao and the two are riding are the best horses in a thousand miles, and they can be regarded as treasures from a thousand miles away.

Such horses are worth a lot of money, and those who can ride them are naturally rich or noble.

Zuo Dao threw the reins in his hand to the waiter and said: "Take good care of it, don't make any mistakes."

When the waiter heard this, he quickly said hello to the inn.

I saw two waiters rushing over and leading two horses toward the backyard.

At this moment, the sky suddenly became overcast.

Zuo Dao looked up and saw a dense flock of birds flying over Mocheng.

And there is not just one kind of these birds, they range from goshawks to cranes to sparrows.

It’s hard to imagine how these birds, which are of different species and even have a common relationship between hunters and food, could fly together.

Especially its large scale, even if you are a well-informed leftist, you have never seen it before.

The shadow came and went as quickly as it came. In just a moment, the birds flew across the desert city.

Then there were bursts of yelling and cursing.

I saw pedestrians walking on the road, full of disgust and wanting to wipe the bird shit off their bodies.

When the flock of birds flew past, countless white dots fell from the sky.

Many people have fallen victim to this trick.

Mo Yang hid directly under a stall, using the cloth on his head to escape the disaster.

The waiter looked at the bird droppings all over the place in front of Tongfu Inn and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.

Then he called a busboy to come and clean up all the bird droppings in front of the inn.

Then he faced Zuo Dao and the other two people and said, "You two gentlemen, how many rooms are left in the store now? I would like to ask you two gentlemen..."

Zuo Dao said: "Then open two upper rooms."

The waiter in the shop was overjoyed and said that he had indeed guessed right. These two men were both wealthy owners.

Just listen to Zuo Dao continue to speak: "What happened to the flock of birds that just passed by?"

When the waiter heard this, he said with an unlucky face: "I don't know something. Originally, this flock of birds would only fly once every ten years, but more than a year ago, I don't know what happened, and it happened twice a year." .”

"It is said that a fire phoenix appears in our Daxuan Dynasty. Many people want to follow the birds to find traces of the fire phoenix."

"It's a pity that over the years, only a handful of people have been found."

After hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Zuo Dao's face.

flaming Phenix?
In its previous life, there was a rumor that the Suzaku was full of fire and looked like a phoenix, so many people called it the "Fire Phoenix".

Could it be that the fire phoenix mentioned by the waiter in this shop is the Suzaku Taoist seed he is looking for?

However, the three Tao seeds he found before were not entities.

How come in this Great Mystery, a Suzaku actually exists? What is its relationship with the Suzaku Dao Seed?
At this time, Mo Yang whispered: "Guest, I know the rumors about this fire phoenix."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Said: "Tell me and listen."

When Mo Yang heard this, he immediately said: "Decades ago, it was rumored that my master Xuan Zhuzi of Daxuan Kingdom once encountered Fire Phoenix when he was traveling."

"It's just that the fire phoenix seemed to be fighting a strange beast and was seriously injured."

"Seeing that the Imperial Preceptor was pitiful, he came to the rescue and chased the strange beast away. In order to repay the kindness of the Imperial Preceptor, Fire Phoenix gave him a phoenix feather."

Hearing this, the old turtle couldn't help but sneer, with a look of disdain on his face.

Mo Yang scratched his head and said, "This matter is only spread by word of mouth among the older generation. I don't know if it is true or false."

"I also heard it mentioned by the old beggar in the city. Guests should not be offended."

A thoughtful look flashed in Zuo Dao's eyes, and then he asked Mo Yang to leave first and come back after an hour.

He took Lao Gui into Tongfu Inn and asked the waiter to arrange two rooms.

in the room.

Zuo Dao looked at Lao Gui and said, "Senior seems to disagree with what that little guy said."

The old turtle yawned and said: "If it is really Suzaku, even if it is not yet a minor, it is still a golden elixir level monster. Even it can't deal with the strange beast. How did the imperial master of the Great Xuan Dynasty get rid of it?"

"I also gave him a phoenix feather as a gift. I'm afraid the Daxuan National Master picked some from the two sacred beast battlefields when he passed by."

Hearing Old Turtle speak, Zuo Dao suddenly remembered the talisman he had extorted from that girl Qingluan.

Taking it out of the storage ring, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

This talisman can be regarded as a one-time secret treasure, and it is drawn with Suzaku blood. If it is true what the old turtle said, it is not certain that Suzaku is really in Daxuan.

Lao Gui looked at the talisman in Zuo Dao's hand, and a complicated expression flashed across his face.

He said: "You should not take this thing out on weekdays, be careful if someone here knows about it."

Zuo Dao smiled and said: "I just took it out and looked at it to clarify my thoughts."

Lao Gui waved his hand casually and kicked Zuo Dao out.

Zuo Dao looked at the closed door in front of him, a look of helplessness flashed across his face, and then he returned to his room and took a good rest.

After dinner, he and Lao Gui walked into the lobby together.

As soon as he arrived in the lobby, he saw Mo Yang standing guard outside the door with a reserved look on his face.

Speaking of which, Mo Yang has lived in Mocheng for so many years.

It was the first time I saw such a guest. I only asked him to help find an inn and asked him to wait until dinner time.

Is it possible that this person still wants to take a stroll in the desert city at night?
Although there is no curfew in this desert city, it is not so stable at night. There are always desperadoes who will risk their lives for the big fat sheep.

Mo Yang was a little hesitant, if Zuo Dao and the other two really wanted to go shopping at night.

Then do you want to give me some advice?

Just as he was thinking in his mind, he heard the left door in the lobby say: "Well, boy, come in and sit down."

Mo Yang looked up and saw that Zuo Dao had already ordered a table of food and drinks.

The old man who followed him had already started eating.

Mo Yang looked at the food and wine on the table, swallowed subconsciously, and said, "The young one has already eaten, so he is waiting for you two outside."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao smiled and said, "Come over as soon as I ask you to come over. If I have anything to ask you."

The voice fell.

Then Mo Yang walked into the inn a little cautiously, came to Zuo Dao's side and stood obediently.

Seeing this, the shop waiters had a look of surprise in their eyes.

But he didn't say much and just continued to serve other customers.

Zuo Dao patted the stool beside him and said: "Sit down and have something to eat." Mo Yang waved his hands repeatedly and said: "The price given by the two masters is high enough, how can the little one eat from the two masters?"

Zuo Dao said, "You can sit down if I let you."

next moment.

Mo Yang felt his shoulders sink, as if he was pressed by something, and he sat down on the stool.

A flash of shock suddenly flashed through his heart.

Although he knew that the person who came to Mocheng alone was definitely a master, this was the first time he had encountered such a master.

Zuo Dao asked the waiter to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks and put them in front of him.

Then he asked: "How much do you know about the Fire Phoenix?"

When Mo Yang heard this, he immediately said: "Youngster only knows so much, but the old beggar in the outer city knows a lot. He tells us these anecdotes every day. If you two want to know more, I will go find him."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao said, "Don't be in a hurry, just go after dinner."

Mo Yang responded, and then started to eat carefully.

By evening, night is about to fall.

Zuo Dao then said: "It's almost time, you take us to find the old beggar."

When Mo Yang heard this, he stood up immediately.

Then he said cautiously: "Sir, why don't you pack up the leftovers and take them over? You can also save some money."

Zuo Dao glanced at him and said, "You figure it out."

A look of excitement suddenly flashed across Mo Yang's face, and he quickly called the waiter to start packing.

After packing their things, they took the two of them towards the outer city.

On the way, we stopped at a steamed bun shop and bought a lot of meat buns, but we didn’t stop at the rest.

Arriving at a corner in the outer city, Mo Yang pointed at the old beggar not far away and said, "You two, that's the old beggar I'm talking about."

As he said that, he walked towards the old beggar with his things and said as he walked: "Old beggar, I brought you something good."

The old beggar curled up in the corner heard the words, opened his sleepy eyes, and looked at the speaker.

Then he said with a smile: "It turns out to be Xiao Yangzi. Is what you are holding in your hand something from Tongfu Inn?"

This old beggar had been in the city for a long time, and he could tell which family it came from just by looking at the things he packed.

Mo Yang smiled and said, "You're in for a treat, this is really good stuff from Tongfu Inn, but what do you want to say when those two gentlemen ask you later?"

After finishing speaking, he placed the packed meal in front of the old beggar.

The old beggar smelled the fragrance and couldn't wait to take apart the things. He took out a bone and gnawed it.

As he chewed, oil and water dripped from his hands onto his arms.

He tilted his head and sucked the oil and water directly into his mouth, with an intoxicated look on his face.

He said: "You two gentlemen, if you want to ask anything, just ask."

When Zuo Dao saw this, he didn't dislike it at all. He just said, "Listen to this kid, you know about the Fire Phoenix."

Hearing this, the old beggar was stunned, and then said: "You two gentlemen, you are not going to find the legendary fire phoenix, are you?"

Zuo Dao smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about this, just tell me what you know."

When the old beggar heard this, he wiped the grease off his fingers, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes.

Then he said: "Speaking of which, I really know something."

"Actually, people say that thing is some kind of fire phoenix, but from my perspective, it is the legendary Suzaku."

"Does Suzaku know? It's a divine beast born and bred in the world. It's infinitely stronger than the Phoenix."

Speaking of this, the old beggar got a little excited and opened his teeth and claws, as if he had seen it before.

He took a bite of the remaining chicken butt and said: "The migration of birds that occurs every ten years is because of the Suzaku. According to legend, the Suzaku will be reborn from the ashes every few years. Whenever this happens, When the time comes, blood will flow out."

"For these birds, these blood qualities are good things that can only be encountered but cannot be sought."

"If we can divide some of it, we can at least make its bloodline pure, or even purify it again to achieve advanced effects."

At this point, he suddenly stopped talking and looked at Zuo Dao and Lao Gui, who were looking at him with interest.

The expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen, and then he said with a smile: "You two must not take the jokes you hear from hearsay seriously."

Not far away, Mo Yang secretly handed the meat buns he bought to a child.

Then he stepped forward and said with a look of disdain: "It is indeed a joke. Did you hear this from some storyteller?"

The old beggar said: "What storytellers? They know a thing."

Zuo Dao smiled and said: "Old sir, don't be angry. Just keep talking. If you agree, this tael of silver will be yours."

After finishing speaking, he directly took out a tael of silver and placed it in front of the other party.

When the old beggar saw this, his eyes immediately straightened.

Mo Yang also had an envious look on his face.

He originally thought that it was dark enough that he had ripped off customers and asked for half a penny.

But who would have thought that this man would reward an old beggar who could speak well.

Just a tael of silver.

Seeing this, the old beggar swallowed his saliva and continued: "Since this master doesn't mind, then the old man will continue."

"It turns out that something went wrong with Suzaku for some reason. It has to be reborn from the ashes every ten years. According to rumors, it has been going on for hundreds of years."

"But more than a year ago, according to traveling merchants from the Wei Dynasty, the Shiwan Mountains near Youzhou in the Wei Dynasty moved. Unknown how many great demons appeared in the world, and demons and ghosts emerged in endlessly."

"That's when the bird began to move more frequently."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao calculated the time.

Suddenly I was startled.

Isn't this the time when I swallowed the Qinglong and White Tiger Taoist seeds?

The old beggar continued: "More than a month ago, these birds came towards our Daxuan one after another. What you two saw today was actually much too late."

Zuo Dao was shocked.

This is when he swallowed the Xuanwu Dao Seed.

Why did I hear this old beggar say that the timeline of the two changes in more than a year coincided with the time when I was refining the Tao Seed?

Is it possible that the Suzaku in the Daxuan can sense the existence of other Tao species?
He asked: "Has anyone found this legendary Suzaku in all these years?"

The old beggar thought carefully for a moment and said: "There really is one. He is Xuan Zhuzi, the master of Daxuan Kingdom. He once found Suzaku. It was also from then on that he defeated all the invincible hands of Daxuan with his own cultivation. He also personally killed the eldest prince. He was taught as a great master, and he has been named a national master ever since."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao thought to himself: "It seems that this person benefited a lot from meeting Suzaku!"

The old beggar looked at the thoughtful expression on Zuo Dao's face.

He immediately whispered: "If you two really want to find this Suzaku, it's not impossible."
