On the second day, there was a rare sunny day in the land of Quigzhou.
Seeing this scene, the people in Qingzhou came out of their houses one by one, with smiles that hadn’t been seen for a long time, gathered together in twos and threes, telling the story of last night.
“I can’t have seen it wrong. I was awake with a child who couldn’t sleep. I saw clearly a red phoenix hovering in the night sky , but it only stayed for a while and then disappeared. “
“I also saw it. I thought I had seen it wrong at first, but after looking several times, it really was a Phoenix.”
“It’s a good omen to see the red phoenix. No wonder the sun is out today. This is really rare.”
“Yeah yeah……”
The people all gathered together to discuss last nights strange encounter. After lengthy talks, they walked back to their houses one by one and began to dry their quilts and clothes.
Qingzhou has not seen the sun for several months. The damp and moldiness brought by the rain was gradually fading under the sun.
…
…
At the same time, a team of men and women who went to the border yesterday returned to Qingzhou.
“Brother Li, what happened? Why did you suddenly turn around and come back?” Qin Muyue stepped out of the carriage, chased behind Chu Li, and watched him walking steadily back into the house he shared with Mu Yunjin.
Chu Li’s silent footsteps hurriedly walked towards the house, his lips narrowed into a line, and he while he walked, his whole body exuded a breathless quality.
Qin Muyue also wanted to catch up, but stopped upon seeing his determined look and the gossiping people on the streets.
Chu Li returned to the house, and upon seeing that Qin Muyue didn’t catch up, turned around and looked at Ding Xian behind him, “The red phoenix last night, what have you found out?”
Ding Xian shook his head, his face a little stunned. “This subordinate went to Qingfeng Mountain this morning to look around the area. No trace was left behind there.”
After that, Ding Xian saw Chu Li’s face completely darken.
His Royal Highness had looked for the red phoenix for such a long time, and it actually appeared on Qingfeng Mountain last night.
Because of the appearance of this red phoenix, Chu Li, who had already reached the border, resolutely turned around and returned to look for traces of the phoenix.
“Where is Mu Yunjin?!” Chu Li entered the room and frowned upon not seeing her figure.
Xiaoju greeted him, immediately knelt down, and with a bewildered look and red eyes from crying said “This servant pleads for the Princes forgiveness, but the princess has disappeared since last night after she went to bathe …”
“Gone?” Chu Li froze, his eyes bloodshot, suppressing the anger that was about to erupt, “Song Chun!”
Song Chun emerged from one side. After seeing Chu Li, he also knelt down. ”It is useless. Please forgive me your highness.”
Chu Li’s hands clenched into fists. He stepped into the room, checked the clothes in the closet, and saw a bag on the bed that was half full of clothes yet abandoned, and his face turned black.
“Call out all the purple guards and track down Mu Yunjin’s whereabouts immediately!” Chu Li flicked his sleeves, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and stepped out of the door of the chamber, his face black with rage.
Ding Xian and Song Chun were in a quandary. There were about 3,000 purple guards under His Royal Highness, and they were scattered in every corner. Now, in order to find the princess, they have to recall and dispatch all them. Maybe she just casually went for a stroll and would be back soon!
It seems that His Royal Highness has deep feelings for the Princess.
…
…
“Master, why are you here?” Qin Muyue looked surprised at seeing the old man waiting for her in front of an abandoned thatched cottage.
The old man in front of her was Qiuye Taoist, one of the three masters.
He gathered his beard and looked down at Qin Muyue, “Yue’er, the Phoenix Girl has appeared!”
“I saw the red phoenix last night. Master, do you know who the Phoenix Girl is?” Qin Muyue was so surprised that she couldn’t help but touch her back.
“Mu Yunjin!” Qiuye Taoist said the name lowly word by word.
Qin Muyue took a step back in horror, eyes widening with incredulity, and asked, “Mu Yunjin? She is really the phoenix girl?”
“No, this is impossible! Master, Mu Yunjin is just a useless nobody, how could she be the Phoenix Girl!” Qin Muyue shook her head, unwilling to believe.
Qiuye Taoist sighed, “Last night, she saw this one, your teacher, enact the ritual for rain in Quigzhou. I wanted to kill her on the spot and almost succeeded. But a red fire phoenix exploded from her back, saving her.”
“Where is she now? Now that she has seen the cause of the flood in Qingzhou, and the fact that she is the Phoenix girl, we can’t afford to let her live!” Qin Muyue stepped forward anxiously, staring at Qiuye Taoist with a deadly look in her eye.
“She was rescued.” he said.
Qin Muyue heard the words, her eyes getting colder, she took a deep breath, bit her lip, and her nails sunk deep into the soft flesh of her palms.
For so many years, she relied on the identity of the Phoenix Girl to successfully approach Chu Li and stay by his side. It is for this reason and this reason only, that Chu Li agreed to some small requests she had made.
But since Mu Yunjin appeared, Chu Li’s attitude towards her has been a lot colder, she can’t let her live especially now she knows she is the Phoenix Girl.
She had long hated Mu Yunjin, but today Master told her that Mu Yunjin turned out to be a Phoenix Girl!
If so, wouldn’t she have lost Chu Li completely?
No, she is not willing!
Why is it Mu Yunjin?!
Qiuye seemed to see through Qin Muyue’s heart and sneered, “What are you panicking about, and how did I teach you? Don’t be too worried about anything.”
“Master, do you have a plan?” Qin Muyue captured a hint of hope from the words of Qiuye Taoists.
Qiuye Taoist hummed and raised his eyebrow and smiled, “Mu Yunjin was injured by me last night. Although she was rescued, it is still unknown whether she is dead or alive.”
“I happened to see that fire phoenix last night. I can use illusion today to reproduce that fire phoenix.”
“Yue’er, the identity of the Phoenix Girl can only be you.”
…
…
“Last night, the fire phoenix came, and the good omen will come again today, hahaha!”
Qiuye Taoist was holding a wooden sword and walking down the street in Qingzhou. He jabbered loudly, drank, sneered and laughed, his voice carrying far, which attracted many people to notice and watch him.
Everyone saw him, and a few curious people spoke to him. “Hey, this Taoist master, have you seen that red phoenix?”
“Of course. I watch the sky at night. I pointed to the location of the fire phoenix in Qingzhou, and rushed overnight to find out more.” he sat cross-legged.
In this way, many people passing by were curious, and they gathered around and looked at the him, “Master Taoist, do you mean that red phoenix is still here?”
“Yes!” Qiu Ye nodded, yelling at him, “Not only that, the fire phoenix is not just a red phoenix, but a celestial phenomenon. This celestial phenomenon occurs when people have deep thoughts in their previous lives. They have been endowed with such a heavenly spirit. Therefore, it is not only mortal, but it is extraordinary. “
Many people were shocked by the words of this Taoist master, scratched their heads, and looked puzzled, “Master Taoist, do you mean that this red phoenix is actually a human being?”
“A person has become a phoenix, isn’t that just a monster? How can you say it is a heavenly spirit?”
The Taoist master looked at the talking people, choked a few times, and shook his head, “No, no.”
“Since ancient times, the emperor is the dragon, the mother is the phoenix, the dragon and the phoenix are heavenly bodies, and the phoenix is the symbol of auspiciousness. How can it be a monster? Today, the fire phoenix suddenly appeared in the world, and today Qingzhou has sunny skies with no rain in sight. You said that the fire phoenix is a monster? How can this be?”
With such an explanation, all the people heard and understood, and nodded again and again, “Yes, yes, what he says makes sense.”
“However, you said just now that the red phoenix was really in mortal form, so how do we find out who that person is? If we can find them, we will thank them for their grace, and they will be worshiped every day as a god.”
The old man smiled, and when he was about to speak, there was a cold snort—
“Where did such a swindler come from?”
Qin Muyue looked coldly at Qiuye Taoist who was surrounded by the people, and walked towards the crowd and said, “This kind of scammer, don’t believe him, he just wants an opportunity to part you from your money.”
After that, Qin Muyue looked at Qiuye Taoist, “You old man, you have nothing to do and dare to scam people here in Qingzhou. I will let you grow old today. But if you dare to spread rumors to get money again, I will never spare you! “
Qiuye Taoist glanced at Qin Muyue, suddenly surprised, sat up from the ground, and then stretched out his right hand, drawing a strange pattern in the air.
“The girl’s heaven is full and the appearance of gold is really good. Can Lao Dao count it for you?” Qiuye Taoist looked at her.
“Hurry away, otherwise don’t blame this blind sword.” Qin Muyue stared at Qiuye Taoist.
The Master Taoist stepped back a few steps, then grabbed his head, pointed at Qin Muyue, exclaimed and shouted at the people around him, “This girl has an aura, which seems to be the red phoenix aura.”
“What? Deputy General Qin?”
“No, it can’t be… your saying that Deputy General Qin was the Red Phoenix from last night?”
“If it was Deputy General Qin, that would be no surprise. She is already the most legendary woman in Western Yuan!”
“No, no, Deputy General Qin wasn’t in our Qingzhou last night. Can she really be the red phoenix?”
Qin Muyue frowned, glanced at the people around them, and looked at Qiuye Taoist unpleasantly, “Less confusion for the people. The fire Phoenix is a rare sign for a rare occasion. Your just trying to muddy the waters and avoid accountability! “
“The girl seems to be unbelieving.” Qiuye Taoist regretted his words, and then raised an eyebrow. “I have learned an old magic technique, and there is a way for you to show the phoenix.”
“I believe that many people here have seen the fire phoenix last night. When the time comes, they can say whether it is true or false. I believe you all will be free to decide.”
When the words fell, the crowd started to wonder.
Qin Muyue stood in place, and exchanged a look with the Qiuye Taoist , and then saw the him half squat down, folding his hands, and say a spell.
For a long while, he condensed a colorful light in his palm, sweeping it away toward Qin Muyue’s body, and she was enveloped by that colorful light.
Gradually, red smoke rose up from her back. They saw the phoenix circling on the top of Qingfeng Mountain last night. At this time, it was coming out from the back of Qin Muyue, howling, slapping its red wings …
