Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 576 First World 5
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Seeing Xuanyuan Ling staring at the egg in his arms without responding for a long time, Nishang asked gently, Xuanyuan Ling suddenly raised his head, and looked at Nishang with two burning eyes, Nishang's heart jumped, the heat in his eyes , could almost melt her heart.

Nishang's heart paused for a moment, then jumped wildly, as fast as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

She liked him in the past, but it was more of admiration for the strong. If she really liked him, how much would it be?She didn't even see his face a few times, but heard him from other people's mouths from time to time.

They were all compliments, nothing more than saying how powerful he was, even inferior to her father, the Emperor of Heaven, and how handsome and noble he was, all women in the Canghai Continent wanted to marry him.

At that time, she thought that the best and most extraordinary man in the world would definitely become her wishful husband. She thought that as long as she opened her mouth, she would definitely get what she wanted. Be attracted to her, become her possession.

She was full of confidence and longing for that day to come, but when that day came, he saw her and she saw him, but she didn't get what she dreamed of.

This man simply rejected her, saying that she was not the one he wanted to marry, and that he already had a sweetheart.

That day, she went back to the room crying, she thought that this dream was about to wake up, but who knows, after waiting for 500 years, his sweetheart didn't even have a shadow, Nishang thought to himself, the so-called sweetheart's words on that day, Probably just to reject her, in fact, he has no sweetheart at all.

She regained her hope, and this time, she will take every step she can to show her tenderness and talent, so that he will fall in love with her and marry her willingly.

If it is said that she was really moved, it was probably because of these two burning eyes that shone into her heart. His eyes were so hot that it made people panic, and they were so bright that it seemed that the sun, moon and stars in the world had lost their light, and only he was left in darkness. The light in the pupils of the eyes.

His handsomeness is not the kind of handsome and beautiful, but the unique handsomeness, the first glance may not be thrilling enough, but the second and third glances will make people more and more sinking and unable to extricate themselves.

Nishang's eyes became tender and tender, and she looked at Xuanyuan Ling half shyly and half boldly, but after that glance, Xuanyuan Ling looked down at the phoenix egg in her arms.

Nishang followed his gaze, and saw that the phoenix egg seemed to be moving, and there was a light knocking sound from inside.

Coming out of the shell?

The knocking sound became clearer and louder, but there was no sign of the eggshell breaking.

Xuanyuanling held the phoenix egg carefully, staring at the egg intently, for fear of missing a glance.

This staring lasted for three days and three nights, and the sound of knocking sounded from time to time, but the eggshell just didn't crack.

Nishang and Bai Ye also stayed on, waiting for the phoenix to hatch.

This time, the knocking sound became weaker and weaker, and finally there was no sound. Bai Ye said anxiously, "Is it because I have no strength?"

Xuanyuan Miao pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Bai Ye twisted his long eyebrows, and continued, "I heard that when these birds hatch eggs, there are often small birds that can't crack the eggshell and suffocate to death inside..."

"To shut up!"

Xuanyuan Ling yelled, and stared at Bai Ye with sharp eyes. Bai Ye was startled, and Nishang glared at him, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Didn't you see that Your Majesty is so worried? His Majesty's child, His Majesty has raised him for 500 years..."

Xuanyuan Ling's face was gloomy, and he glanced at Nishang coldly, "She's not my child!"

Nishang was startled, and asked subconsciously, "Then he is?"

Xuanyuan Ling didn't answer, and continued to stare at the eggshell. Nishang's suspicious eyes fell on the phoenix egg, wondering what she was thinking. After a while, her eyes fell on Xuanyuan Ling again.

This time, after the knocking sound stopped, it didn't sound again after two or three hours. ring up.

"My lord, do you want to help him?"

After being yelled at by Xuanyuan Ling, Bai Ye became more honest, and asked cautiously. Xuanyuan Ling looked at him suddenly, which startled Bai Ye, "Did I say the wrong thing again?"

"This time, you are right!"

Bai Ye showed joy, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Nishang somewhat disagreed, "I heard that birds have to crack open their shells to get out of their eggs. No one can help them. This is a process of natural selection. Birds that are not strong enough will be eliminated, otherwise they will be eliminated. , even if we help them to be born, they will be weaker than other birds, unable to hide from natural enemies, and will die sooner or later."

The atmosphere was a bit dignified, and Nishang tentatively said, "Why don't you wait a little longer, maybe he can break open the shell and get out by himself."

Maybe, unable to get out, suffocated inside.

Xuanyuan Ling didn't say a word, put his palm on the eggshell, slowly closed his eyes, and began to inject spiritual energy into the phoenix egg.

"Your Majesty, even if you help him this time, will you be able to help him for the rest of your life in the future? The phoenix is ​​not strong enough, and the talent is not good enough. Not only will it not be able to cultivate human form, but it will also not be able to escape the capture of natural enemies and humans."

Bai Ye also echoed, "Princess Nishang is also reasonable. I can help you for a while, but I can't help you forever. You can't always take care of him and protect him under your wings, right? Phoenixes are different from people. Phoenixes with poor talents not only cannot cultivate well." In human form, it can't even survive the first thunder calamity."

Xuanyuan Ling slowly opened his eyes, "Phoenix's first thunder calamity is usually after [-] years old. Even if it is a stubborn stone, I will turn it into a beautiful jade."

"What if the rotten wood cannot be carved?"

"Then I will take care of her for the rest of my life, protect her under my wings, and prevent anyone from bullying or hurting her."

Nishang frowned and looked at Xuanyuan Ling with a pair of beautiful eyebrows, sighed, and said, "No matter how talented a person is, he can live at most 10 years old, and the phoenix is ​​an ancient god. , or even millions of years of longevity, my lord, you are already thousands of years old, and you only have 2 years of life left, maybe you will die before the first thunder disaster of the phoenix arrives , you can't protect him for long, so why bother?"

No one knew Xuanyuanling's identity as a flood dragon, he was only considered human, and counted according to the lifespan of a human being, Xuanyuanling didn't explain, closed his eyes again, and injected spiritual energy into the egg.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Ling had made up his mind, Bai Ye and Nishang couldn't say anything more.

As time passed by, there was still no movement in the phoenix egg, as if it was dead, the atmosphere became more and more cold and oppressive, Xuanyuan Ling's face became more and more ugly, Nishang and Bai Ye tightly pressed their lips together, Dare to speak, lest you say something wrong and anger Xuanyuan Ling.

As time passed, there was no movement in the phoenix egg. Xuanyuan Ling's face was ashen as hell. He increased the injection of spiritual energy, and a steady stream of spiritual energy was injected into the phoenix egg.

"My lord, so much spiritual energy has been injected, if he is not dead, he will react, but there is no movement in the egg, it must be—"

Before he could utter the word 'death', Bai Ye was swept away by a powerful force, and hit the ground heavily, causing dust to fly up. He quickly got up from the ground and didn't dare to say another word.

Nishang gave him a sympathetic look, knowing that His Majesty is in a bad mood right now, and talking nonsense, he is looking for death!
I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how much spiritual energy was injected, the sky gradually darkened, the bright moon rose in the east, and the cold moonlight sprinkled all over Lingshan, and also sprinkled Xuanyuan Ling's body, covering his whole body with a cold and depressing atmosphere.

"My lord, maybe this is fate, don't be sad..."

Nishang comforted him gently like water, but Xuanyuan Ling didn't speak, as if he didn't hear what Nishang said.

He hugged the phoenix egg tightly in his arms, feeling very complicated, sad, bewildered, disappointed, unwilling, all of them, and more bewildered.

This is very likely to be the last phoenix, and it is also his last chance to marry a wife. This phoenix egg cannot hatch, and he does not know if there will be another chance to marry a phoenix wife.

There is still a little bit of sadness in his heart, not very serious, but the thousands of years of getting along, although this is just an egg, can't give him any response, but day and night for 1000 years, she accompanied him, she listened to him Talking, she watched the sun rise and set with him, the moon rise and the moon set, the flowers bloom and fade, and the tide ebb and flow.

In his heart, he always regarded her as his future wife.

Maybe, it's not that deep love, after all, who can fall in love with an unresponsive egg, but there is some emotion.

"Since the egg can't hatch, I'll help Your Majesty deal with this egg..."

Nishang said cautiously, for some reason, she breathed a sigh of relief, she had a feeling that Her Majesty valued this egg more than anyone else.

If this phoenix hatches, it will probably become her biggest competitor.

Although she doesn't know whether Fenghuang is a man or a woman, she just has the feeling that His Majesty is too concerned about this egg. For 500 years, he has been indifferent to the affairs of the Canghai Continent, and has been nesting in Lingshan to hatch eggs. All the treasured spiritual grasses and elixir were used on this egg, this is not normal behavior!
As soon as Nishang stretched out her hand, she was stared at by two sharp and cold eyes, and her hand stopped in mid-air stiffly.

With just one glance, Xuanyuan Ling withdrew his gaze, but the clothes on the back of Nishang were soaked in cold sweat, and his whole body became stiff.

Xuanyuanling couldn't see Nishang's fright, his thoughts were all on the phoenix egg, he gently stroked the phoenix egg, his gentle and loving gaze seemed to be looking at the woman he loved, which made Nishang frown, and the alarm bell rang in his heart.

Your Majesty will not fall in love with an egg, right?This is impossible!
Nishang shook her head vigorously, and felt that she was overthinking, but seeing Xuanyuan Ling's gentle and sad eyes made her suspicious again.

Xuanyuan Ling didn't know what Nishang was thinking, and he didn't care. He held the egg in one hand and dug the ground with a hoe in the other. When the full moon rose above his head, the hole was finally dug.

It was a circular pit, judging from its size, it could just accommodate the phoenix egg. This pit happened to be next to the plane tree. Nishang and Bai Ye looked at each other. Your Majesty would not want to bury the phoenix egg here, would he?
"My lord, the phoenix is ​​an ancient god. Even an egg has unusual energy. I heard that refining the phoenix bird or phoenix egg into pills will help practitioners improve their cultivation. How about taking this egg?" Refining the phoenix egg into a pill, so as not to waste it..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Ye, who couldn't control his mouth, was swept down the Lingshan Mountain by a strong wind. When he came back again, he tightly covered his mouth with his palm to show that he would stop talking nonsense.

In fact, he really thought so. Anyway, the phoenix egg can't hatch, and it can be regarded as a benefit to the people if it is refined into a pill. Your Majesty has raised this egg for 500 years, so at least you can give him some reward.

If it was usual, Xuanyuanling would have driven Nishang and Bai Ye down the mountain long ago, but today he was in a very low mood, and he didn't want to be alone, so he let them stay. With others making jokes, his mood would be better to some extent little bit.

Xuanyuanling gently put the phoenix egg into the pit, and stared blankly for a long time. Bai Ye and Nishang also watched with him. number of eggs.

When the bright moon was setting to the west, the phoenix egg was still quietly staying in the pit, and there was no movement of breaking out of the shell. Xuanyuan Ling sighed heavily, picked up a handful of soil and sprinkled it on the phoenix egg. Just as Bai Ye wanted to help, he heard Xuanyuan Ling He said coldly, "No need!"

Xuanyuan Ling buried the phoenix egg under the plane tree, stood by the grave for a while, and then went back to the house to rest.

Nishang and Bai Ye looked at each other, they didn't dare to disturb Xuanyuan Ling, and they didn't want to leave Lingshan. Once they leave this time, they will not be able to cross the barrier so easily if they want to come back next time.

So, the two found a small cave and stayed overnight.

The bright moon is setting in the west, and the sky is gloomy. This is the last darkness before dawn.

After the darkness, the sun rises in the east, and the golden sunlight fills the Lingshan Mountain, the plane trees, and the newly built graves under the trees.

The tomb was opened by someone, and a few white eggshells fell into the mound.

In the house, Xuanyuan Ling had just fallen asleep, when he heard someone coming in, no, it wasn't a person, it should be a bird, Xuanyuan Ling thought it was a red-crowned crane or other birds entering his room, and continued to sleep without opening his eyes.

When the bird wobbled towards him, he didn't open his eyes, and when it jumped onto his bed, he didn't open his eyes either.

He is now in a very low mood and depressed, and he doesn't want to care about a bird that is so bold as to climb his bed.

Xuanyuan Ling finally opened his eyes when the bird was so courageous that it not only crawled up his bed, but also burrowed into his arms.

Xuanyuan Ling was stunned when he saw the bird that seemed to have just been born with sparse hair and was still wet.

He'd seen a lot of birds, but nothing this... ugly.

Yes, it is ugly!
The bird didn't know that it was ugly, so it kept digging into Xuanyuan Ling's arms, and finally found the most comfortable position. She sat down contentedly, nestled into his chest, raised her head, and looked at him with wet and shiny eyes. Xuanyuan Ling.

She was very ugly, the hair on her body was sparse, wet and sticky, as if she had just crawled out of a bird's egg, but when she saw those eyes, Xuanyuan Ling's heart skipped a beat.

Those eyes are very bright, very clear, you can see the bottom at a glance, flashing with moving watery light, when looking at you like that, it seems that you are her whole world, she trusts you, completely trusts, she relies on you With you, you are her strongest arm.

A thought flashed in Xuanyuanling's mind, could it be...

Seeing that Xuanyuan Ling kept silent, just staring at himself, the bird stretched its neck, rubbed its small head against Xuanyuan Ling's arm, and lightly pecked Xuanyuan Ling's palm with its small pointed beak.

The corners of Xuanyuan Ling's lips rose a little bit, revealing a gentle smile, he stretched out two fingers, and gently touched the little bird's head, "Hello, little Phoenix."

Seeing that he recognized her, Xiao Fenghuang cried out happily twice. Her voice was very clear and had a strong penetrating power, as if it could penetrate all obstacles in the world, but it was not harsh, on the contrary, it was very pleasant .

"I thought you were dead..."

Xuanyuan Ling sighed softly, and Little Phoenix yelled twice in displeasure, as if to blame Xuanyuan Ling for burying herself, causing her to break out of her shell, and it took a lot of effort to get out of the mud.

"sorry."

Xuanyuan Ling apologized softly, Little Phoenix's anger came and went quickly, he raised his neck and let out a high-pitched cry twice, looking very happy.

She leaned over and rubbed her head against Xuanyuan Ling's face. Xuanyuan Ling laughed softly and touched her head, "What's wrong? You're so clingy to me..."

Seeing that he didn't understand, Little Phoenix tapped Xuanyuan Ling's lips lightly with her sharp and hard mouth, and Xuanyuan Ling finally understood, "Hungry?"

Little Phoenix nodded, Xuanyuan Ling touched her head, hugged her in his arms, found the dew that had been prepared long ago, took out a small and exquisite jade bowl, poured the dew into the bowl, and thought for a while , and injected a little spirit into the dew.

Little Phoenix quickly drank all the dew in a murmur, hiccupped, raised his head and yelled twice, Xuanyuan Ling raised his eyebrows, "More?"

He touched Little Phoenix's swollen belly, "No, you're just born, so you can't eat too much, you'll be stretched if you eat too much."

Little Phoenix acted coquettishly with her little head on her head, rubbing it against the palm of his hand, Xuanyuan Ling's heart softened to the point of water, and she still insisted not to give her any more dew.

Little Phoenix raised her neck and yelled twice, then turned her head and walked out the door. She was just born, her bones hadn't grown well yet, she walked crookedly, dangling around, Xuanyuanling was afraid that she would fall, so she quickly picked her up, little Fenghuang ruthlessly pecked his arm, it didn't hurt, but was itchy and numb, Xuanyuanling laughed dumbfounded, "Are you angry?"

The little head turned aside, refusing to talk to him.

Xuanyuan Ling sighed softly, and gently touched her head. Little Phoenix shook her head vigorously, and shook off Xuanyuan Ling's touch. Xuanyuan Ling looked at her angrily and amusedly, "Are you really angry?"

Xiao Fenghuang yelled, indicating that she was really angry and not playing with him.

Xuanyuan Ling put away the smile on his face and showed a solemn expression, "I am doing it for your own good. Your body is not very good. You can't break out of your shell. I injected so much spiritual energy to let you be born. According to the principle of natural selection, you will be eliminated."

Little Phoenix's eyes widened, and she looked at Xuanyuan Ling in horror. Her small round black eyes were wide open, and even her pointed mouth was wide open. .

"But don't worry, I won't let you be eliminated. I will take good care of you, raise you, and won't let anyone bully you and hurt you."

Little Phoenix's eyes were still wide open, with a look of disbelief, Xuanyuanling suppressed a smile, and gently patted her head, "Really, I won't lie to you, you are mine—"

little wife.

Xuanyuan Ling could only say these three words in his heart. If he really said them, Little Phoenix might be scared away.

With Xuanyuan Ling's guarantee, Xiao Fenghuang was relieved. She seemed to feel that she had misunderstood Xuanyuan Ling, felt a little guilty, and carefully placed her small head on Xuanyuan Ling's chest.

"Let's go, your body is sticky. I will take you to wash it first, and then take you to bask in the sun. You can absorb more spiritual energy from heaven and earth so that you can grow faster."

When taking a bath, I used the dew collected and stored before. Taking advantage of Xuanyuan Ling's inattention, Xiao Fenghuang secretly drank a few sips.

She thought Xuanyuan Ling didn't see it, but in fact Xuanyuan Ling saw it, just a few sips would be fine, so he pampered her as if he didn't see it.

First wash the head, then wash the wings, and then the body, if it is transformed into a human form, this should be the part of the woman's chest. The little phoenix is ​​just born and doesn't understand anything, but Xuanyuan Ling understands it very well, even though it is just a bird , but Xuanyuan Ling's ears were still slightly red.

After all, Xiao Fenghuang is his future little wife.

The little phoenix fluttered its wings happily in the water, and even splashed Xuanyuan Ling's body with water. She was afraid that Xuanyuan Ling would get angry, so she looked at him pitifully, her wet and watery eyes made Xuanyuan Ling's heart melt.

He didn't say anything, just patted her little head lightly, and said dotingly, "You."

Seeing that he wasn't angry, Xiao Fenghuang became even more presumptuous. She took out half of a tank of water, and the room was full of water.

Xuanyuan Ling sighed, and with a light sweep of his sleeves, those water spots disappeared little by little, and the room became dry and warm again.

Xiao Fenghuang watched this scene in shock, unable to close her mouth.

"This is just an ordinary spell. If you like it, I will teach you in the future?"

Little Phoenix keeps nodding her head. She can't speak now, but she can understand Xuanyuan Ling's words. She stayed in the egg for 1000 years. In the first 500 years, the primordial spirit has just grown up and has no memory. In the next 500 years, I have been listening to Xuanyuan Ling talking.

His voice was gentle, deep and thick, with a hint of hoarseness, like the sound of gold and stone, and it was particularly pleasant. After listening to it for 500 years, she fell asleep peacefully in his voice countless times, and woke up countless times in his voice.

She remembered his voice, and also remembered his hot palm, stroking her eggshell countless days and nights, that ray of heat, along with the aura, penetrated the eggshell and fell on her body, making her body and mind shake. warm.

She still remembers his breath and smell, so as soon as she came out of the egg, she followed his breath to find him, and got into his arms familiarly, wanting him to hold her, just like countless times he Like holding her in his arms while still inside the egg.

What does this feel like?

Reassuring, familiar, gentle, never forgetting.
