The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 119: The Fire Phoenix, the Spiritual Beast of the Tang King, and the First Medicinal Fragrance Farmland Reclaimed

The Fire Phoenix's gaze was as hot as a raging fire, fixed tightly on Kang Duan Chenxiang, and then its sight gradually drifted towards the distant sky.

In the distant past, that unrivaled era, the Tang Dynasty was like a shining pearl, quietly embedded in the depths of history, shining with endless brilliance and glory.

It was an era full of poetry and legends, with heroes emerging in large numbers and countless talented men and beautiful women.

On the bustling streets of Chang'an City, men of letters and scholars recited poems and composed couplets, talented men and beautiful women danced gracefully, and singing and laughter intertwined into moving pictures.

Among these bright stars, the Chiyou family is like the most dazzling one, dazzling and eye-catching.
The Chiyou family was once very powerful. Whenever people mentioned this family, they would feel awe in their hearts.

However, fate is always full of variables.

At the most glorious moment of the Chiyou family, a powerful force from a foreign race swept in like a storm.

They were ambitious and eager to incorporate this land into their territory.

Faced with foreign invasion, although Chiyou's family fought hard, they were ultimately no match for the enemy's superior numbers.

After a brutal battle, Chiyou's family was forced to abandon their homeland and go into exile.

They crossed the vast desert, went through untold hardships, and finally arrived at this desolate land outside the Great Wall.

There are few people here, only endless grassland and sky for company.

The members of Chiyou's family gave up their former glory and dignity and began to live a shepherding life in harmony with nature.

In the vast land outside the Great Wall, the Chiyou people lived a hard and simple life.

They live with thousands of sheep and the howling sandstorms. Despite the harsh environment, the fire in their hearts is like an oasis in the desert and has never been extinguished.

At this turbulent time, a shocking rebellion swept across the entire Tang Dynasty like a storm.

An Lushan, the once powerful general, now rebelled, plunging the entire dynasty into turmoil.

The reputation of the King of Tang was like thunder, shocking everyone, but in the face of this rebellion, he seemed powerless.

However, this rebellion brought an unexpected opportunity to the Chiyou people.

They saw the hope of returning to the capital and the dawn of restoring the family's glory.

So, on a dark and windy night, the warriors of the Chiyou tribe gathered together to discuss plans to return to the capital.

They sat around a blazing bonfire, the firelight illuminating their determined faces.

The warriors decided to take advantage of this rebellion to sneak into the capital and look for the legendary treasure of the Tang King.

The secret of the treasure has always been a mystery in their hearts.

This secret is like being shrouded in layer upon layer of thick fog, making it elusive.

According to legend, the treasure contains endless wealth and power, enough to allow the Chiyou tribe to regain its former glory.

The storm of rebellion finally subsided. The great leader King Tang suppressed the rebels one by one with thunderous means, and peace in the court was restored.

He stood on the high palace wall, overlooking the vast land, his heart filled with endless ambition.

However, he was not satisfied with his immediate achievements, but turned his attention to more mysterious and profound areas.

Beside him, a mysterious spirit beast, the Fire Phoenix, became the focus of everyone's attention.

The feathers of this fire phoenix are as red as flames. Each feather seems to contain endless fire power. They shine brightly in the sun like a ball of burning fire.

Whenever it flaps its wings and flies high, the hot breath hits you in the face, making you feel a strong power.

The arrival of the Fire Phoenix brought endless surprise and curiosity to King Tang.

He was often alone, quietly gazing at this magical beast in the moonlight.

He tried to discover more secrets from the Fire Phoenix and understand what kind of power it contained.

The Fire Phoenix also seemed to have a special connection with King Tang. It often circled and danced around him, making clear and melodious chirping sounds, as if telling him something.

Every morning at dawn, King Tang would get up early and start preparing breakfast for the phoenix.

Corn is a high-quality grain that he specially selected. Each grain is plump and round, shining like pearls with an alluring luster in the sun.

King Tang carefully held the millet in his hands and gently scattered it onto the phoenix's exquisite food plate. Each grain carried his love and expectations.

Before the morning dew had completely dissipated, the King of Tang picked up a jade pot and went to the mountains to collect sweet spring water.

He walked through the morning mist and through the lush woods, just to find the purest and sweetest spring water to quench the Phoenix's thirst.

Whenever he found a clear spring, he would carefully fill his jade pot and then return to the palace with satisfaction and joy.

Under the careful care of King Tang, the phoenix's wings became increasingly fuller and more dazzling.

The eyes of the phoenix seemed to hide thousands of secrets of the King of Tang. In that deep gaze, there was trust and reliance on the King of Tang, as well as curiosity and exploration of the world.

Whenever night falls, the phoenix spreads its magnificent wings and hovers over the palace to protect it.

Time flies by and gradually disappears.

The contract between King Tang and the Fire Phoenix was like a setting sun in the sky. Although it was once blazing and dazzling, it could not withstand the erosion of time and eventually turned into misty dust in the long river, drifting away with the wind and being forgotten.

However, fate always seems to like playing jokes, and always quietly brings some unexpected surprises and twists when people think everything is a foregone conclusion.

This contract, buried by time, was unexpectedly obtained by Kang Duan Chenxiang.

Kang Duan Chenxiang, a woman who knows the secrets of King Tang's spiritual beasts, is eager to uncover the secrets of King Tang, explore the legendary treasure, and let the long-forgotten history see the light of day again.

She secretly wondered in her heart, what kind of unfathomable secrets were hidden behind the King of Tang?

This mystery was like a thick fog, shrouding her heart and making her unable to let it go.

The figure of the Fire Phoenix appears particularly dazzling in the night, like a burning flame, jumping and flickering in the darkness.

It dances like an elegant dancer.

Its feathers sparkled brightly under the starlight, and that light was like a magic key, lighting up the entire night sky as if it were daytime.

That mysterious dance, like an unfinished melody, is intoxicating and makes people irresistibly immersed in its beauty and mystery.

Suddenly, the fire phoenix flapped its wings and flew high. Its momentum was like a unstoppable force, like a ball of burning flame, breaking through the silent sky and rushing straight into the distant clouds.

The flaming figure left a long trail in the night sky, as if it was going to ignite the entire universe.

Kang Duanchenxiang stared blankly at the figure that gradually disappeared from his sight, feeling an indescribable sense of loss and unwillingness in his heart.

She originally thought that she could uncover the mystery shrouding the Fire Phoenix and discover its secrets, but she never imagined that this mysterious creature would disappear from her world like a meteor across the sky the moment she could not touch the truth.

"Phoenix, I beg you, could you please stay for a while and slow down your flying wings?" Kang Duanchenxiang's voice contained indescribable eagerness and eager anticipation.

Her call seemed to cross the barriers of time and space, echoing in the empty and silent valley, searching for that distant echo.

The Fire Phoenix stood proudly at the end of the sky, surrounded by blazing flames. The blazing firelight reflected her majestic and sacred figure.

Her existence seemed to inject vitality into the originally silent sky and add a touch of strong color to the vast sky.

However, the Fire Phoenix did not seem willing to stay any longer. Her feathers trembled slightly in the breeze, and her inner restlessness and anxiety gradually became apparent.

The Fire Phoenix will flap its wings and fly high at any time, breaking through the space that binds her and continuing her soaring journey.

"What do you want to find out?" The words of the Fire Phoenix exploded like thunder in the silent space. Every word was full of power, as if containing a blazing flame, making people dare not look directly into her eyes.

Her voice was deep and powerful, like lava gushing out from the depths of the earth, with a suffocating burning feeling.

The eyes of the Fire Phoenix are like two burning stars, making people feel inexplicable fear under their gaze.

Her feathers sparkled with brilliant light, burning like a raging fire, emitting an intense heat that made people afraid to approach.

She looked a little tired, a kind of fatigue that came from not having stretched her muscles for a long time, and also a kind of boredom with the endless years.

It seemed that she had not encountered an opponent worthy of her attack for too long, and had not experienced the thrill of a hearty battle for too long, which made her feel extremely bored.

Kang Duanchenxiang slowly inhaled a breath of fresh air, and her expression became solemn and serious.

She said solemnly, "The question I asked you earlier," she said slowly, with a certain seriousness in her voice, "is really important to me. It is not only about my future, but also about the persistence and belief in my heart."

She paused, looking straight ahead, as if looking for some resonance or response.

Then, she continued, "Since there is already a contract between you and me, then you should take responsibility for me. This responsibility is not only a promise, but also a trust and expectation."

Her voice gradually became higher and higher, as if there was an invisible force pushing her forward, making her words more firm and powerful.

The words echoed in the air, like fragments torn by the wind, gradually dissipating.

However, at this moment, Kang Duan Chenxiang suddenly felt a hot breath coming towards her like a violent storm, and the breath was so hot that it seemed to burn her skin.

Her body was instantly bound by an invisible force, as if she was firmly grasped by an invisible big hand, making her unable to move.

She lowered her head in surprise, only to see a ball of blazing flames rising out of nowhere. The flames were like the wicked fire gushing out from the depths of hell, carrying the power to destroy everything.

The color of the flame was a strange dark red, as if it could devour all light, and its heat made the air distorted.

The raging flames instantly engulfed Kang Duanchenxiang's entire figure, and only a sea of ​​fire remained before her eyes.

The flame seemed to have life, jumping and spinning around her, and every touch made her feel unprecedented heat and pain.

Her heart was filled with fear and despair, as if she was about to be burned to ashes by the flames.

However, at this critical moment, Kang Duan Chenxiang suddenly felt a cool force surging from his body.

She gritted her teeth and tried her best to resist the invasion of the flames, while mobilizing the strength in her body to fight it.

Luo Shen stood there, his eyes reflecting blazing flames. The flames were like messengers from hell, madly devouring everything around them.

His heartbeat was pounding against his chest like a war drum, and fear was like cold fingers, tightening around his throat.

He rushed to the side and tightly grasped the heavy wooden barrel with both hands, as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope of life at that moment.

He lifted the barrel with all his strength and rushed towards the flames. Sweat rolled down his forehead and mixed with the dust on the ground, which was turned red by the flames.

However, when the bucket of cold water was poured violently towards the flames, Luo Shen was shocked to find that the fire did not weaken at all. Instead, it seemed to be provoked and burned even more fiercely.

The flames seemed to have life. Under the stimulation of cold water, they became even more violent, as if they were going to swallow up the entire world.

Luo Shen stood there in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief.

He then realized that this blazing flame was not any kind of flame he was familiar with, but the legendary Three Flavors True Fire that could burn everything. How could such a flame be extinguished by ordinary water?

He looked at the increasingly fierce flames, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

Luo Shen paced anxiously, worry locked between his brows. His voice echoed in the empty air like a string torn by the wind, carrying a hint of anxiety and confusion.

He looked up at the blazing flame, which was the symbol of the Fire Phoenix and the goal of their trip.

"Fire Phoenix, we come to visit you sincerely and have absolutely no intention of disrespecting the King of Tang."

Luo Shen's voice was firm and powerful, and seemed to be able to penetrate the layers of flames and reach the ears of the Fire Phoenix.

He knew very well that this visit was of vital importance to them. If they could not get the approval of the Fire Phoenix, their plan would come to naught.

However, the Fire Phoenix seemed to be blind to their sincerity, and the flame continued to burn fiercely without any sign of response.

Luo Shen couldn't help but feel frustrated, but he didn't give up. He had to get the consent and respect of Fire Phoenix. Luo Shen slowly said, "Fire Phoenix, what are you worried about? We have no ill intentions, we just hope to get your help."

There was a hint of pleading in Luo Shen's voice. He hoped to impress the Fire Phoenix and make it put aside its worries.

The feathers of the fire phoenix sparkled with fiery light in the afterglow of the setting sun. It slightly raised its proud head and sneered contemptuously, as if nothing in the world was worthy of its attention.

It spoke slowly, with an unquestionable majesty in its voice: "Young man, what you call a contract is actually just a spell that binds the soul in my eyes."

The sound of the Fire Phoenix echoed in the empty valley, carrying a kind of magic that shocked people involuntarily.

There is a deep light flashing in its pupils, seeing through all hypocrisy and truth.

"You think that a piece of paper can make me submit to you? That's ridiculous."

Fire Phoenix continued, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in her voice, "In this world, only someone like King Tang is qualified to be my true master."

Kang Duanchenxiang's face turned as pale as paper in an instant, as if it was instantly covered by a thick layer of frost, cold and stiff.

Her eyes were wide open, with fear and anxiety flickering in her pupils, like a meteor that suddenly appeared in the night sky, with a momentary brightness and a long tremor.

Her voice also became trembling and weak at this moment, as if it was blown to pieces by a sudden cold wind.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth with difficulty, with a hint of unspeakable fear and panic, like a deer lost in the wilderness, helpless and confused.

"Could it be... all this is because of Su Chenjin?"

Her voice was filled with incredible and unacceptable despair, like glass hit hard by a sledgehammer, shattering instantly.

Kang Duanchenxiang tightly grasped the table beside him, his fingers turned white from the force and his nails dug deep into the wood.

There was a sharp light in her eyes, which shot directly at the person opposite her, as if she wanted to see through the other person's heart.

"Did you have any interaction with her just now?"

Although Kang Duanchenxiang's voice was weak, it was full of firmness and determination, like an enraged lion, ready to pounce on its prey at any time.

Her heartbeat was beating wildly in her chest like a war drum, every beat filled with tension and anticipation.

When the Phoenix heard this, the light in its eyes, which had been as calm as water, suddenly became as sharp as a knife, as if a flash of lightning had cut through the night sky, illuminating its angry face.

A strong anger surged out of Phoenix's eyes, like an ice-covered lake suddenly shattered by the biting cold wind, stirring up layers of magnificent waves.

It suddenly straightened its body, and its originally elegant posture now seemed unusually tall and straight, like an ancient tree standing proudly in the wind and snow, tenacious and unyielding.

The voice of the Phoenix is ​​like a clear spring flowing in a mountain stream, echoing in the silent valley. Although it is calm, it contains an unquestionable power.

"The descendant of the Guardian family is a being with sacredness and dignity flowing in her blood. How can you mention her name so lightly?"

Every word of it is like a gem that has been tempered through thousands of hammers, shining with majesty and dignity, making people dare not look directly at it.

It was like carrying invisible sword energy, stabbing at anyone who dared to challenge her bottom line.

Before he finished speaking, Kang Duanchenxiang felt as if the whole world collapsed in an instant, and everything around him became blurry and distorted.

She staggered suddenly, her body seemed to be pulled hard by an invisible force, and she lost her balance in an instant.

Kang Duan Chenxiang was horrified to find that he was actually engulfed by the flames gushing out of the Fire Phoenix, like a fallen leaf caught in a strong wind, unable to struggle.

There were blazing flames all around, as if countless fire dragons were dancing wildly, releasing suffocating heat.

The flames seemed to have life. They rolled and roared, and continued to approach Kang Duan Chenxiang.

She could clearly feel the violence and heat of the flames, which seemed to burn her soul to ashes.

Kang Duanchenxiang's skin began to feel burning and painful under the high temperature, as if it was being pierced by countless needles at the same time.

Kang Duanchenxiang tried her best to break free from the flames, but her body seemed to be tightly bound by an invisible force and she could not move.

She struggled and shouted, but in this scorching space, her voice seemed to be swallowed by the heat and could not be heard.

Despair and fear spread in Kang Duanchenxiang's heart. She felt as if she had been swallowed by the sea of ​​fire and could not escape.

However, at this critical moment, she suddenly felt a strange power surge in her body. This power was warm and powerful, and seemed to burn in her body, forming a strange confrontation with the flames.

Kang Duan Chenxiang felt as if he was being lifted up by this force, and his body was gradually freed from the restraints of the flames.

She opened her eyes wide and watched the flames around her gradually fade away, replaced by a hazy light.

Kang Duanchenxiang felt a strong desire to survive in his heart, and he struggled to move towards the direction of the light.

The eyes of the Fire Phoenix were like the frozen lake, cold and deep. It stood there quietly, staring at everything in front of it, as if the whole world was frozen in her sight.
The wind blew gently, lifting its fiery red feathers, which sparkled brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Its figure appears and disappears in the interweaving of light and shadow, as if it is a divine bird walking out of ancient mythology.

The Fire Phoenix opened its mouth slightly, and its voice was cold and distant, like an echo from another time and space.

The sound seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space, carrying an indescribable charm that made people involuntarily immersed in it.

It is like the sound of nature, intoxicating. Every word and every note is full of power, penetrating people's hearts and arousing resonance deep in their hearts.

"You are nothing more than a group of explorers driven by greed. You keep saying you are seeking the truth of history, but in fact you are here just to uncover the shocking secrets left by the Tang King."

The words of the Fire Phoenix were like a gust of cold wind, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill. Every word was like carefully polished cold stone, hitting the hearts of everyone present accurately.

Everyone was stunned into silence by its words, as if their throats were restrained by an invisible force, and even their breathing became cautious.

Its eyes are deep and cold, as if it can see through everyone's heart in just a moment, making people shudder.

The Fire Phoenix took a deep breath, and looked through the surrounding darkness, as if searching for the glorious days that had passed.

"King Tang, the heroic ruler who once unified the world, has long since turned into a wisp of smoke, drifting away in the wind in this vast world. His legend and his great deeds have gradually faded from people's sight with his departure."

Everyone listened quietly, feeling an inexplicable emotion welling up in their hearts.

They seemed to be able to feel the sadness and helplessness in the Fire Phoenix's heart, and seemed to be able to see the once glorious Tang King gradually fading away in the long river of history.

"And the secret he left behind, the secret that once shocked the world, is destined to be buried in endless time with his departure."

There was a tremor in Fire Phoenix's voice, the weight of the secret making it hard for her to breathe.

Everyone's heart tightened and they all turned their eyes to the Fire Phoenix.

They knew that the secret might be a mystery that they would never be able to solve in their lifetime, but they couldn't help but want to find out the truth.

The Fire Phoenix slowly closed its eyes, as if recalling every detail of the secret.

Its voice gradually became softer, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.

"That secret once changed the entire world and drove countless people crazy. But now, it can only become a regret in our hearts, an eternal mystery."

The breeze, with a bit of early summer gentleness, gently swept across the empty land behind the Jiangda University, bringing a faint fragrance of fruits and melons, as if heralding that this land was about to usher in the harvest season.

In this green countryside, Su Chenjin is bending over, carefully cultivating every inch of land. Her hands give this land endless vitality.

Under her careful care, the medicinal farm has long become full of vitality.

Some of those herbal seedlings were emerald green, while others had already bloomed tiny flowers. They felt Su Chenjin's dedication and showed tenacious vitality.

As the breeze blows, the herb seedlings sway gently, as if telling their own story.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps broke the silence. Dean Chen Fangyu and Director Gu Xinliang came to visit together, and their arrival added a bit of liveliness to this green countryside.

Dean Chen Fangyu looked at the scene in front of him with admiration in his eyes. He exclaimed: "I never thought that this originally empty land would become so vibrant in your hands."

Director Gu Xinliang also nodded and agreed: "Indeed, these herbal seedlings are growing so lushly, it can be seen that you have put in a lot of effort."

Su Chenjin smiled faintly when she heard this. She said, "This farmland is like my child. I will do my best to take care of it."

In this mysterious countryside, the leaves of Panax notoginseng are emerald green, crystal clear like jade, and sparkling with vibrant light.

The faint fragrance of angelica permeates the air, as if it is the breath of Mother Earth, bringing with it warmth and vitality.

Astragalus stands tall like a soldier, its posture straight and tough, like a loyal guard protecting this secret land of herbs.

The forsythias are clustered together, and each plant looks so lively, as if singing a cheerful song for the land.

The three of them strolled in this secret land of hundreds of herbs. The soft soil under their feet seemed to carry the pulse of life, forming a harmonious melody with their steps.

There are lush green plants around me. They sway gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds, like the whispers of nature, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

They stopped from time to time to point out the unique herbs and discuss their effects and uses. They joked with each other or laughed heartily, and the atmosphere was full of warmth and harmony.

However, at this moment, Xing Miao's assistant came hurriedly, his face full of nervousness and anxiety, as if there was something important that needed to be reported immediately.

"Director Gu, Dean Chen, and Xiaojin, what a coincidence, you are all here." The assistant walked into the room hurriedly, breathing a little hurriedly, as if he had just finished a marathon.

He held a letter tightly in his hand, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation that was difficult to conceal.

"This is the letter Mr. Xing just sent asking for peace." The assistant carefully unfolded the letter, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity, "He hopes that our two families can put aside their past grudges and shake hands in peace."

As soon as the assistant finished speaking, a subtle atmosphere seemed to fill the air.

Director Gu and Dean Chen looked at each other, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in their eyes.

Xiao Jin stood silently by the side with a thoughtful look on his face.

This letter of peace came so suddenly, yet seemed expected.

The feud between the two families has been going on for a long time. Now that Mr. Xing has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, it has undoubtedly brought a glimmer of hope for this long-lasting fight.

The assistant handed the letter to the three people, and everyone's eyes were focused on the thin paper.
