I'm from magic door

() That night, Jiang An, who had advanced to the fifth level of Body Refining Realm, walked on the mountain road from the Imaginary Yin Pond back to the Wangchuan Courtyard, humming a little tune in high spirits.

When he was passing by Wangqingyuan, he suddenly heard a faint, sad and desolate bird song.

"It's so late, why are there still birds singing?" After all, Jiang An was still a teenager, and once his curiosity arose, he couldn't suppress it no matter what.

So he followed the intermittent birdsong all the way to find out.

"Yeah? The sound actually came from Wangqingyuan!" Jiang An chased all the way to the tall courtyard wall of Wangqingyuan, only to find that the strange bird song came from inside the courtyard wall.

Driven by strong curiosity, he didn't bother to run to the gate of Wangqing Courtyard, and climbed directly along the hollowed-out window lattice all the way to the top of the wall, only to see a bird with colorful and gorgeous feather textures, bright and not inferior to a phoenix, standing next to it. A tree with luxuriant branches and leaves staring at the sky blankly.It is the sound of the weeping birdsong that comes from it!

"Wow! The feathers of this bird are really gorgeous!" Where has the black and thin boy seen such a graceful and beautiful bird?Can't help but praise in a low voice.

"Who? Who is making noise outside the wall?" The little sparrow was very alert. As soon as the boy opened his mouth, it caught the direction of the sound. A pair of slender phoenix eyes immediately spotted the boy on the wall sharply, "Eh? What are you doing?" Will it be here?" This wonderful bird can still speak human words!Most importantly, it sounds a bit like the third brother!

"Hello! I'm Jiang'an, brother Chong's junior brother, passing by by accident..."

"Nonsense! Of course I know who you are. What are you doing sneaking here in the middle of the night!" The sparrow spread its bright and unparalleled wings, flew into the air, and then its body began to swell and deform...until it transformed into A Pianpian son in brocade clothes and holding a Xiaoyao fan is not the third senior brother Chong Qiuhuang!

"You..." Jiang An was dumbfounded, speechless in a daze.

"Hmph! I thought you already knew it! That's right, I am a demon cultivator, and my body is a cold bug!" Chong Qiuhuang looked at the boy's wide-eyed eyes and explained angrily.

Jiang An never imagined that Chong Qiuhuang, the third senior brother who was so talented and extremely talented, would have such a little-known secret!

"What are you doing with your mouth so wide? Come down from the wall!" Chongqiu Huang looked at Jiang'an complicatedly for a while, then suddenly waved to him, "Come here, sit down."

Jiang An followed his instructions and sat on a stone bench under the tree.

"Don't ask anything, just be a quiet listener, just listen." Chong Qiuhuang's eyes became blurred, and then he told his story in a sleepy tone.

There is a kind of bird on Mount Wutai, called Hanhao Bug.In the hot summer, its feathers are extremely gorgeous, so it sang triumphantly: "Phoenix is ​​not as good as me." When it was cold in the deep winter, its feathers fell off, and it looked like a fledgling. Crouching pitifully in the crevices of the mountain wall, Chengri yelled: "Let's get by." Because they are playful and lazy by nature, they are never willing to spend time and energy building a warm nest for themselves that can survive the winter, so Most are short-lived, with few surviving three winters.

Many years ago, Chongqiuhuang was also one of them.

In the first summer of his life, like other cold bugs, he displayed his dazzling feathers in the warm sunshine every day, swaggered in front of other birds, and sang loudly. He wrote: "Phoenix is ​​not as good as me."

Until one day, when he was singing in the woods, he saw a big bird with wings as green as the morning sun, which was glowing softly under the sun, passing through the forest.This big bird has a beak like a chicken, jaws like a swallow, a peacock tail, a turtle-backed snake neck, and a slender and elegant body. It is so beautiful and thrilling!

So for the first time in his life, he stopped singing and called to the big bird: "Alas! Hold on!"

"I'm Huang, why are you looking for me?" The big bird folded its wings when it heard the sound, and lightly stopped on a green dragon's claw flower that was blooming with tender green buds.

"I...my name is Han, I saw you eagerly passing through the forest, as if you were looking for something..."

"Yes, I fly all over the world, looking for a bird that looks like me, have you seen it?" Huang asked excitedly.

"No, but I have nothing to do at the moment, so I'll accompany you to look for it, how about it?"

"Okay!" Huang has never seen anyone of the same kind since she was born. Although she is so beautiful that thousands of birds admire her, she doesn't have any friends.

Since then, they have been on the road together, flying over mountains, across seas, across deserts, through cities, and traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the Zixiao Continent, but they have never met a bird that looks the same as Huang. .

Summer went to autumn, and finally, in the bleak autumn wind, Chong Qiuhuang suddenly found that her beautiful feathers began to fall off gradually!

Winter is coming!

Although he has never sung "Phoenix is ​​not as good as me" again, but if the time is not given to him, he will usher in the days of singing "just passing by"!

So, on a certain autumn day when the leaves were golden, he quietly left Huang, wishing her silently that one day she would be able to find her own kind.

However, when he returned to his own kind, in that snowy winter, he couldn't sing "get along" freely, because every day he didn't miss Huang who didn't know where he was at the moment!

Later, he learned from other birds and built himself a warm nest.

From that day on, he stopped singing and frolicking, and began to try to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.He named himself "Insect" Qiuhuang, and since then he has embarked on the road of demon cultivation.

"Senior Brother, you have already transformed, why don't you go to find her?" Hearing this, the thin black boy couldn't help but asked with some doubts.

"I don't know either. After embarking on the path of cultivation, I realized that the phoenix is ​​the phoenix. The male and female of the phoenix are the phoenix. What she has been looking for should be the phoenix. Maybe she has found it now." Chong Qiuhuang shook his head in confusion. Said, "But I know very well that I don't have much hope, but I still don't want to give up the fantasy in my heart. It has been so many years, and even this dragon claw locust tree is about to become a jing..." Chong Qiuhuang pointed Pointing to the towering tree thicker than a millstone in the middle of the Wangqing Courtyard, with a lonely and lonely expression, where is there a little bit of the chic and romantic Mr. Zhuo Shijia on weekdays?

"Ah? So this big tree is..."

"Well, this is the place where she stopped for me for the first time, no matter where I go, I will take it with me." Chong Qiuhuang smiled bitterly.

"Little brother, do you feel that today's senior is particularly unhappy with mother-in-law?" Chong Qiuhuang said as he took out two warm books from his arms. !

"Do you know? If I practice one of these two formulas, maybe I can stimulate the ancient blood in my body. It is not impossible for him to turn into a Suzaku or a Phoenix in the future!"

"Then why are you still hesitating?"

"But I'm a bug after all! Even if one day I really fly on a branch and become a phoenix, it's just a phoenix seeking a phoenix! What makes me confused is, should I name myself 'Chong' Qiuhuang, counting I have struggled with my natural laziness for a hundred years, and in the end, just to get rid of giving up and denying my natural existence, and transforming into a..." At this moment, the unruly and handsome young man burst into tears, helpless like a newborn "Is it a completely different life? Maybe then I can touch the sky and overlook the earth, but I always have an indescribable feeling that that is not the ending I want."

When he said this, Jiang An finally fully understood his entanglements and struggles. The black and thin boy was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Senior brother, you can't change any of these two books, and you shouldn't change any of them." !"

"Are you asking me to give up?" Chong Qiuhuang looked at Jiang'an with tears in his eyes.

"I advise you to give up the magic formula, but I support you to continue to seek the phoenix!" The young man's eyes were as clear as water, but there was a kind of sharpness that pointed to people's hearts. The practice, the blood of father and mother, the gift of samsara, don’t give up any of them—either dissipate in samsara together, or be immortal in heaven and earth together! Senior brother, I hope you will always be a "worm" Qiuhuang, you have to tell the world Humans, Frost Bugs are also worthy of Phoenix!"

"Junior brother, how old are you this year?" Chong Qiuhuang panted violently, his face uncertain, as if he was struggling at the moment.

"Under 16, why do you ask this?"

"It's nothing, you are a good listener, thank you!" Chong Qiuhuang's disordered breath gradually calmed down, and a trace of blood returned to his pale face, "If there is no Phoenix, 16 years is enough for a cold bug I have lived seven or eight lives..." He shook his head with some self-deprecation and sighed, "Hundreds of years have passed, and I stubbornly resisted reincarnation, just imagined seeing her again in a decent way... You are right, father and mother blood , no matter what realm I have cultivated to, I am a cold bug, a cold bug who wants to 'seek a phoenix'! Hahaha!"

After Chong Qiuhuang finished speaking, he laughed and recovered his body. There seemed to be flames burning in his clear eyes. He gracefully spread his wings like a neon feather coat, and flew lightly onto the branch of Longclaw Sophora japonica. Under the bright moonlight, it is more colorful, warmer and more proud than the flowers blooming in the courtyard!
