Chapter 78,
Chapter 78,
"Brother..." Bei Qiao choked up and shouted, the sad emotion stuck in his chest, making him slightly out of breath.
After a long time, he finally said with difficulty: "When we go to find the black unicorn tomorrow, I will stand outside the door and not listen to what you have to say, okay?"
Seeing Duan Jingze's gloomy gaze elsewhere, Bei Qiao held his cold hand and squatted slightly in front of him: "In this way, I won't recall the memories of my previous life."
After hearing this, Duan Jingze raised his eyes and watched him quietly, his absent-minded eyes gradually cleared up, as if he recognized that the person in front of him was Bei Qiao.
He hung his head in silence for a long time, and asked hoarsely, "Are you willing? Do you think I'm selfish?"
Bei Qiao shook his head: "Brother, I don't know much knowledge and read very few books, but I know who I was in my previous life has nothing to do with who I am today. To me, it is equivalent to a stranger. I feel sad knowing the things of my past life, after all, I live in the present, and you are the most worthy of cherishing by my side."
Duan Jingze's throat was rolling with difficulty, he looked at him for a long time, he stretched out his arms to hold him in his arms, and said muffledly, "Thank you, Beibei."
Early the next morning, the two met Anfei Mountain and went to the secret passage where the black unicorn was.Originally they wanted to ask Ji Yanzhi to come over, but Ji Yanzhi took advantage of Tuantuan's winter vacation and Tuantuan's overseas travels, so he sent other subordinates of the Demon Management Bureau to open the entrance of the secret passage for them.
This is Duan Jingze's second visit. The last time when Bei Qiao ran away from home, he came to beg Hei Qilin to tell him Bei Qiao's address.
Walking in the narrow cave, Bei Qiao felt frightened and desperately clutched Duan Jingze's hand, for fear of being separated from him.There are many dark caves here, intertwined and intricate, like a maze.
Bei Qiao wasn't sure if Duan Jingze remembered the memory of last night, seeing him depressed during dinner this morning, he didn't dare to ask more questions.
After walking for about 10 minutes, the four of them came to the tree house where Hei Qilin was sleeping. An Feishan called out, "Xiao Hei, long time no see."
After a while, a lazy voice came from inside: "I haven't seen it for thousands of years, it's already old black."
The black unicorn stretched out its sharp claws and lazily stretched its legs, and slowly walked out of the tree house. Its dark red beast eyes sized up the people in front of it, and it lay on the ground and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Duan Jingze frowned: "We want to ask you for help. I wonder if you can tell us whether Bei Qiao's past life or this life is related to Phoenix."
Hei Qilin narrowed his eyes: "Why are you the same as Ji Yanzhi? My ability is limited, I can only see the past lives of three people in my life, and now I have already wasted once for Ji Yanzhi."
An Feishan smiled, took out the blood jade from his pocket, stepped forward and squatted down, "Xiao Hei, I know you like this, I specially brought it for you to play with."
The black unicorn rolled its dark red eyes, opened its mouth to swallow the blood jade, and let out a few pleasant smiles in its throat: "You still understand me."
The black unicorn laughed slowly, looking intently at Bei Qiao with deep and dark red eyes, and walked to his side with sharp claws, moved his nose forward, and sniffed his body.
Bei Qiao held her breath nervously, sweating a lot while holding Duan Jingze's hand, not knowing whether it was hers or the other's.
"He has nothing to do with Fenghuang in this life. He has been a fat chinchilla from birth to now."
Duan Jingze heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, "That's it."
Hei Qilin changed the subject and said, "But in his previous life, he had a great relationship with Phoenix."
After hearing this sentence, Duan Jingze's heart sank, his breathing became short of breath, and even An Feishan couldn't help becoming nervous.
Bei Qiao whispered, "Brother, I'll wait for you to finish talking at a distance before coming over."
Duan Jingze nodded slightly: "En."
"How did the person leave?" Hei Qilin lay down on the ground again, and the unique atmosphere of Bei Qiao had been deeply imprinted in his mind, followed by all the experiences of Bei Qiao's previous life.
Except for Hei Qilin, no one can see the picture, so Hei Qilin relayed it to everyone.
"Bei Qiao was a phoenix in her previous life, but unfortunately she had a short lifespan, and passed away after only 99 years."
300 years ago, generations of the Fenghuang family lived on Fenghuang Mountain.Their status is equal to that of the Dragon Clan, and they are the most precious species among the Monster Clan.
"Children, it's time to perform and sing for the little monsters!"
"Come on!"
In the phoenix nest, several golden figures flew out one after another.The slender and graceful little phoenixes made melodious chirping sounds, their gorgeous wings flew across the sky, and the hot and bright flames spread under the sky in the blink of an eye, making the ordinary little monsters down the mountain extremely envious.
"The phoenix is so beautiful." The little white rabbit raised its head and whispered, "This one's body is so beautiful, this one is so thin, and this one's figure is even more beautiful!"
"This...emmm"
In the phoenix team, a chubby little phoenix stretched its gorgeous fiery red feather tail to its heart's content, looking like a fluffy fiery red pompom from a distance.
His color is extraordinarily bright, and a beautiful singing voice escapes from his beautiful bright red mouth.
"Qiaoqiu, hurry up and catch up, you're going to be late."
Qiuqiu retracted his tentative jiojio, looked at the reflection on the lake, and once again lamented how charming and elegant his appearance was.
At the foot of the mountain, the little phoenixes neatly landed on the tree trunk one by one, greeted the little monster who was waiting for them, and prepared to sing.
The ball moved very slowly and landed on another branch.It wasn't that he was squeezed out by others, but that the branch was only big enough to hold one little phoenix, and he had to take the place of two phoenixes.
cough cough.
Qiuqiu was born delicately, with silver-gray eyelids covering her wet eyes, and her beautiful round eyes were a circle bigger than other little phoenixes, she was definitely the prettiest cub in Phoenix Mountain.
As the breeze blows, the leaves make rustling sounds, and the sound of running water in the creek is particularly pleasant, as if to accompany the little phoenixes again.
Throughout the ages, the phoenix has always been a symbol of luxury, peace, and auspiciousness, and it is no exception in the Yaozu.Although their status is noble, the Phoenix family has always adhered to the ancestral precept of accumulating blessings, and often sings for free for other little monsters with low cultivation levels, bringing them peace and auspiciousness.
Whenever the phoenixes sing, the whole mountain forest seems to be intoxicated by the clear and joyful singing.
A beautiful song ended, and the little monsters threw a few flowers and plants towards them, representing their respect and praise.Among them, Qiuqiu received the most flowers and plants.Because his singing voice is the most beautiful, and when he sings, he can always send out bursts of fragrance to make the little monsters feel happy.
Fenghuang's father said that this was a blessing specially brought to them by the spirits of the ancestors who knew their family was kind and righteous.
It is said that this kind of fragrant little phoenix is rare to meet in ten thousand years.
When he got home, Qiuqiu's brothers and sisters played with him happily. The eldest sister smiled and followed his shiny feathers: "Qiaoqiu, I heard that you received a marriage letter a few days ago?"
When Qiuqiu mentioned this, Xiaohong had nowhere to put her claws.There was a little bit of shyness on the round cheeks.
"Yes, I don't know what kind of person the other party is."
The second sister touched him with her tail: "It is said that I match you very well, we will know when we meet later!"
Qiuqiu's eyes are bright, as if all the morning glow in the sky is poured into it.He smiled on his small face, because he was too embarrassed, he hurriedly flew to the fruit mountain with his butt up, planning to eat a few more fruits to reward himself tonight.
I heard from the little monster at the foot of the mountain that his fiancé is very handsome, especially when fighting, he can outnumber ten thousand!
Qiuqiu licked her satin-like feathers happily, and took a big mouthful of sweet fruit.
After his birthday this year, he will be able to meet his fiancé.
But when Little Phoenix was waiting for his coming-of-age ceremony full of hope, a strange image suddenly formed in the sky of Phoenix Mountain.The wind was howling that day, the dark clouds were particularly terrifying, the stream of the stream unexpectedly backed up, and the animals on the whole mountain were restless.
From that day on, little Phoenix Qiuqiu suffered from a strange disease and couldn't eat a bite of fruit.He didn't know what his illness was, and he vaguely heard some words like "curse" and "glory".He could feel that his father and mother were frowning all day long, and even his younger brother, who usually loves to fight with him for things, was rarely obedient and gave in to him in everything.
On the last day, he lay in the arms of his father and mother, looked at his favorite brothers and sisters, and closed his eyes forever.All the little monsters on Phoenix Mountain let out sobs.
Father Feng hugged his own child with sobs, and poured all his spiritual power into praying to God, hoping that the child would be carefree in the next life and be an ordinary little monster. He only wanted him to be safe and happy.
On the day of Little Phoenix's death, the mountain was filled with fragrance, which lasted for a long time.But since then, no matter whether it is the scent of flowers or fruit on the mountain, there is no scent at all, as if they were all taken away by the little phoenix.
After Hei Qilin narrated, his expression was solemn: "This is his life, it is very short, but it is also very happy."
The corners of Duan Jingze's eyes remained moist, and the touch in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.Although he didn't know Bei Qiao in his previous life, that sad ending was engraved deep in his heart like a bayonet.He didn't dare to imagine that if Bei Qiao in this life met such an ending, would he still be able to live alone.
Hei Qilin asked: "Do you want to know more about Bei Qiao's fiancé?"
Duan Jingze shook his head slightly: "No need."
After receiving the life picture scroll drawn by Hei Qilin, he walked to Bei Qiao with low and heavy steps.At this moment, Bei Qiao was squatting obediently on the ground, drawing something on the ground with the branch in his hand when he was bored.
Taking a closer look, a round little phoenix appeared in front of my eyes, gnawing fruit intently.
"Beibei, wake up."
Duan Jingze knelt down to help him up, the red blood in his eyes hadn't disappeared yet, leaving a trace of sadness.
Bei Qiao thought something was wrong and asked nervously, "Brother, what happened?"
Duan Jingze handed him the scroll of life in his hand, and kneaded his palm, like silent comfort.
"You were indeed a little phoenix in your previous life. You had many brothers and sisters, and your parents loved you very much."
The worry on Bei Qiao's brows gradually disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "I think you seem to be crying, and you thought something serious happened."
Suddenly another question came to mind, and Bei Qiao asked softly, "Brother, then... did I have a partner in my previous life?"
Duan Jingze replied in a low voice: "I have a fiancé, but you haven't met before..." At this point, his tone was mixed with sadness, and he choked up, "You passed away."
Bei Qiao didn't have a hard time accepting this. After all, he never passed away in his previous life, so how could he have this life?
Duan Jingze's shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was desperately suppressing something.He took Bei Qiao and hugged his waist tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your parents hope that you will be safe in this life. With me here, I will not let you suffer any more harm."
This story shocked Duan Jingze too much. Qiuqiu and Bei Qiao were completely alone. When he heard this story, he couldn't stay out of it, and he couldn't help feeling sorry for the little phoenix.
Duan Jingze's plan is this way, if Bei Qiao is really the third sacred artifact and needs to be sacrificed or hurt himself, then he will not plan to cure his illness.He communicated with An Feishan that if controlled by drugs, it can last for more than 100 years.When the time comes, he will hand over the company to others, and accompany Bei Qiao to go sightseeing after fulfilling his dream, trying to make him happy and free.
An Feishan and Ji Yanzhi promised him that if they died, they would try their best to protect Bei Qiao's safety.
Xu was afraid that Bei Qiao would suddenly disappear like a little phoenix, so Duan Jingze hugged him very tightly.
Feeling Duan Jingze's fragile side, the softest part of Bei Qiao's heart was touched, he stretched out his hand and coaxed softly: "With my brother here, I am not afraid of anything."
Before the two returned to the tree house, Hei Qilin was negotiating something with An Feishan.At this moment, An Feishan's expression seemed less serious than before.
The ancient book was right in front of the black unicorn, and the phoenix on it was hovering in mid-air, with a graceful and vigorous figure.
Bei Qiao held the scroll and asked, "Mr. Black Qilin, do you know if I am the phoenix mentioned in the ancient books?"
This question is also what Duan Jingze is most concerned about.His dark pupils were fixed on the black unicorn, eagerly expecting him to say no.
Hei Qilin was very surprised, and said in a rough voice: "You are this phoenix? Are you kidding me? Look at his figure, and then look at your own figure. It's as heavy as three of them, okay?"
"This..." Bei Qiao was stunned for a moment, and asked shyly, "Then can't it be a portrayal of me when I was thin?"
Hei Qilin said ruthlessly: "I'm sorry, I just read your previous life carefully. You were born as a ball."
"Really?" Duan Jingze said urgently, "Are you sure he is not the third sacred artifact mentioned in the ancient books?"
Hei Qilin rolled his eyes: "I'm sure. The phoenix in ancient books is white, and Bei Qiao is golden. They are not the same species. And I seem to know this white phoenix."
The black unicorn racked his brains and thought for a while: "His name is Baihuang, and he belongs to another Phoenix family. It is said that his flame is indestructible, even the most yin resentment bell can be burned."
"Resentful Ling?" Duan Jingze and Bei Qiao suddenly looked at each other, and the clues seemed to be gradually integrated in their hearts.
An Feishan's expression gradually relaxed. Seeing that things became clear, he asked briskly, "Then, do you know where Baihuang is?"
Hei Qilin replied: "Of course... I don't know."
"It is said that Bai Huang died many years ago. Everyone said that he was killed by those ghosts. If you want to find it, it should be difficult. No one knows his clues."
Although Bai Huang's whereabouts were unknown, Duan Jingze was not in a bad mood, instead, the heavy stone in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"It's okay, we will try our best to find it, thank you."
After Duan Jingze said goodbye to the black unicorn, they left along the path just now.
An Feishan smiled: "I will inform my friends in the demon world to look for the whereabouts of the white phoenix. You and Bei Qiao should not worry, go back and have a good rest."
For the past two days, the three of them haven't slept well because of this incident, and this time they can finally rest well.
There are few pedestrians on the street.
Bei Qiao raised her lips: "Brother, your little Phoenix wants to have a big meal!"
Duan Jingze smiled again: "Where is Little Phoenix?"
Bei Qiao poked himself with his finger: "Here."
"Hehe." Duan Jingze stroked Bei Qiao's cheek with both hands, and said softly, "I don't know, what does my little Phoenix want to eat?"
Bei Qiao pretended to think deeply: "Eat crayfish!"
"Okay, it's all up to you." Duan Jingze took Bei Qiao's hand, leaving two warm reflections in front of the street lamp in winter.
"Brother, can you change my WeChat note into a little phoenix?"
"Row."
"Then can you make me a pair of phoenix wings?"
"it is good."
……
In a black car behind him, the camera flashed red lights, and the man behind him smiled triumphantly.
"Tomorrow's entertainment circle will be lively."
While eating, Duan Jingze received a video call from Ji Yanzhi.
Although Ji Yanzhi was abroad, when he heard about Duan Jingze and Bei Qiao, he lost the mood to play, and they were deeply worried.Especially Tuantuan, the ice cream in his hand was instantly stale.
The video call was connected, and what caught my eye was Tuantuan's chubby cheeks.
"Beibei! What does the black unicorn say?"
Duan Jingze handed the phone to Bei Qiao, and listened patiently beside him with the corners of his mouth raised.
Not seeing each other for a few months, Tuantuan has obviously gained weight again.
"Now I have some clues. The third sacred artifact that my brother needs is not me, but something else."
Tuantuan smiled innocently: "Then I can rest assured. By the way, Beibei, I also want to tell you a piece of good news."
Bei Qiao smiled: "What good news?"
Tuantuan shyly said: "Brother Bureau Chief took a risk yesterday to get a treasure. Next time I go back to China, I should be able to see you in human form!"
"Really?" Bei Qiao was ecstatic: "Our Tuantuan can also transform into a human form in advance!"
The two chatted for a while, Duan Jingze took the phone, and told Ji Yanzhi all about today's events.
After hearing this, Ji Yanzhi always felt that something was wrong, but the memory in his mind was so vague that he didn't dare to speak nonsense for a while.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yanzhi thought about it carefully, called the subordinate of the Demon Management Bureau, and asked him to go to the archives room to check the file box about the Marriage Spirit Tree.
Every hundred years, the marriage spirit tree will bloom, and after it is successfully matched, it will distribute the marriage letter to each monster.But every year, there will be some marriage letters that are not sent successfully, because one of the two monsters it matches has an accident and disappears in this world.
According to the year, the staff of the Bureau of Demon Control found an unsent marriage letter in a dusty file box.
The marriage letter paper has turned yellow, obviously showing signs of being burned, but fortunately, even though the remaining half of the letter paper has been wrinkled, the names of the two people can still be seen clearly on the signature.
In the year 1700 of the demon calendar, please sign for your marriage letter.
Duan Jingze & Qiuqiu.
