Seeing the three figures disappear into the picture, Tang Zheng let out a sigh of relief, and the most important thing in his mind was completed.

Putting away the social map, Tang Zheng was about to do something, when his heart suddenly moved, and he turned around and looked at it suddenly.

The firebird in the sky was like a blazing wing, hanging in the air.

It just looked at Tang Zheng like that, and its eyes danced with Nan Mingli's Fire God Flame.

It and Tang Zheng just looked at each other, looking at each other.

After a while, Tang Zheng finally raised his voice and said, "You seem to have taken the loot that belongs to me." ”

As he spoke, the firebird suddenly stretched its wings, and a blazing flame burst all over its body.

The flames burned the entire sky brightly, setting off an infinite heat wave in the secret realm, but it did not hurt everything in the slightest.

The flames continued to twist and change in the air, and gradually condensed into a female figure. At the same time, the flames in the air condensed into a flame gauze, which fluttered lightly on her, and a girl with long fiery red hair stepped out of the flames.

Standing in the air, the flame girl looked at herself, as if she was looking at some novelty, with a happy smile on her face, and a long giggle in her mouth.

This laughter was hearty, bright, and with indescribable joy, spreading through the heavens and the earth, filling the entire secret realm with laughter.

After laughing for a while, the girl turned her head.

She looked at him, like a fairy from the earth in the nine days looking down on mortal dust, one hand suddenly covered her red lips, and a pleasant female voice came: "It's really stingy, how can you ask for something when you open your mouth." ”

Looking at the scene in front of him blankly, Tang Zheng was also a little stunned.

After a moment's reckoning, he said, "Are you a firebird?"

The girl in the air smiled, waved her hand and said, "It's rude, what a firebird turkey, it's too ugly, people have names." You can call me Suzaku. ”

Is it Suzaku anyway?

Tang Zheng was not surprised by this answer.

From the day he knew about the White Tiger, he had thought more than once whether the firebird trapped in the secret realm of the soldier master would be the legendary Vermilion Bird.

Now that it was finally confirmed, Tang Zheng also let out a long sigh: "It turns out that you can speak and deform." ”

The only communication between Tang Zheng and the Firebird was to ask the Firebird for advice on the way of yin and yang when he was unwise to the seal. Because it was a heart-to-heart communication at that time, Tang Zheng always thought that although the firebird was a big demon, he couldn't speak or change his shape.

Unexpectedly, this understanding was shattered today.

Suzaku smiled coquettishly: "My body is sealed, I can't change my words, and the last time I communicated with you was the limit. If it weren't for the idea of this god, it would not have been able to change at all, and it would be even more difficult to speak. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head to admire his figure, his expression was full of pride, obviously extremely satisfied with this release from the seal. She is a super demon, for some reason, she can only appear in her ontological form, and even her thinking is chaotic, and now she has finally regained her clarity, how can she not be happy.

"I see. Tang Zheng understood: "It turns out that you can turn into a human form because of this heavenly thought. ”

"yes. Suzaku pouted and replied, "If it weren't for it, this girl would still be sealed now." However, this divine thought is still a little less, and this girl can only maintain this form for a limited time. Alas, it would be nice if there were more divine thoughts, as long as there were four or five more copies would be almost. ”

Tang Zheng's eyes lit up: "This is simple, and more divine thoughts are still on the golden body of the Heavenly God Palace." All you have to do is go over and suck in the golden body's thoughts. ”

As long as he can make trouble for the Heavenly God Palace, Tang Zheng will definitely not hesitate to use any means.

Suzaku glanced at him angrily: "Do you want to lead me to death? What kind of place is the Heavenly Shrine, a place where great powers gather, if I break in, I will not be peeled off the skin and bones, and it will be strange if I am cooked in oil." ”

She is a dignified flame holy beast, but she is afraid of being cooked with human oil, and it is also interesting.

Tang Zai said with a smile: "The Holy Beast Vermilion Bird is a storage on the Sendai, and he is afraid of a small Heavenly God Palace?"

Suzaku already covered his mouth and smiled: "You want to destroy the Heavenly Divine Palace, are you crazy? If I am above Sendai, I will still be imprisoned in this small world, and the sealed consciousness will have no magical powers? Don't say that I am not so capable, even if I really have, I will not be able to go to the Heavenly Divine Palace." This god's thought is only to allow me to speak and change freely, but it is far from the state of being free from prison. ”

It turns out that she is still trapped here.

Tang Zheng couldn't help but say, "Why are you trapped here?"

Suzaku's face suddenly darkened, she looked back, looked at the volcano, the lava, and her eyes flashed with memory: "I don't know either...... I've been here since the day I knew each other, and I vaguely remember that in the beginning, I was just an egg, lying in the lava, absorbing the heat of the magma. I don't know how many years have passed, and finally one day, I woke up and broke out of my shell. ”

"When I was born, I didn't know anything, I just thought the world was everything. But it was at that time that I had already had a thought in my heart, which was to protect this land from any outsider's destruction, and only those who passed the guò test could enter it...... It's strange that I've never met anyone, but that's what I know. It's just that over the years, I've never seen anyone come in. There was nothing to do, and I could only sleep and grow up in the magma. Until not so long ago...... You're here!"

The light in Suzaku's eyes became more and more blurred.

"It turns out that you, like Bao'er, are also descendants of the Holy Beast. Tang Zheng muttered.

Unlike the White Tiger Clan, the descendants of Suzaku were sealed in the secret realm by the Warlord from the beginning, and were sealed into the seal, making them the guardians here.

Speaking of which, she is simply a more pitiful storage than the white tiger. Although the White Tiger Clan has been imprisoned for generations, at least they still have their own knowledge and can contact the outside world. Suzaku has been in one pass for tens of thousands of years, and from birth to now, he has hardly seen anyone again.

She can act like an ordinary person now, completely because Suzaku and White Tiger are the same, after the bloodline awakens, the memory imprinted in the bloodline will be revived.

But because of this, when she knows that there is a bigger world out there, she feels more lonely and lonely.

But the power of the seal imprisoned her, making her unable to get rid of it.

The primitive environment of lack of communication, coupled with the conscious influence of the seal, Suzaku became like most essences, and the wisdom that had been opened was once again obscured, and the clear mind returned to chaos.

The arrival of Tang Tribulation gave Suzaku the opportunity to contact humans for the first time.

Subject to the innate seal, Suzaku at that time only instinctively and mechanically carried out his mission again and again.

Despite this, in the exchanges with Tang Zheng again and again, the already ignorant wisdom was still a little loosened. The hope for freedom and the desire for communication are also gradually emerging.

In this case, Suzaku's mind came to his senses day by day, although it still retained primitive barbarism and ignorance for most of the time at that time, but at least it had been able to distinguish the Tang Tribulation, He Chong and others, and had the most basic understanding, and expressed the most basic wisdom.

Twelve years ago, Tang Zheng tried to get in touch with Suzaku and ask for advice on the way of yin and yang.

That was not forbidden by the seal—the task given to her by the seal was to test, not to halt growth.

The instinct of communication made Suzaku decide to give Tang Zai help.

She was lucky, at that time, Suzaku's consciousness was still in a semi-chaotic state, and her thinking was difficult to distinguish, but just as amnesiac people will not forget how to eat, Suzaku in ignorance is not affected by this.

If Tang Zao asked to chat with Suzaku at that time, it would be difficult for Suzaku to do so, at that time it had thoughts, but it was not clear, and the seal did not support it to have meaningless exchanges with Tang Zao. But when he consulted the Yin and Yang Dao and the Heaven and Earth Reason, Suzaku was awake instead, the only thing Vermilion Bird could do under the semi-chaos, and it was sealed without restrictions.

What Tang Zao didn't know was that that exchange of thoughts certainly benefited Tang Zao a lot, and it also allowed Suzaku to completely open the door of spiritual wisdom that had been closed for a long time. Memories flooded in, and wisdom was once again enlightened.

In the following time, she observes, she learns, and she thinks.

It's a pity that the world of the secret realm is still monotonous.

Even if there is a Tang Tribulation, He Chong is here, and there is still too little communication that Suzaku can feel. And these two people are so incompatible, they don't talk about anything, so even if there are human beings, there is still a dead air in the secret realm.

This makes the recovery of Suzaku's spiritual wisdom still a little slow, and if it is at this rate, it may take a hundred years for her to truly recover, and if she doesn't get it right, she may not advance but retreat, and fall into dark obscurantism again.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng finally didn't get dull anymore.

He shot.

With a doppelganger, he fought with He Chong.

While the fierce collision was impacting the secret realm and the world, it also impacted the sea of consciousness of the Suzaku Bird, allowing the dark clouds that covered it to disperse and make its mind clearer and clearer. And the thoughts of the gods are the final and most powerful impact on this wall of darkness.

In the short time that Suzaku swallowed the thoughts of the gods, her consciousness experienced unimaginable turbulent waves, and finally made her completely regain her clarity, and even further growth, and even partially get rid of the restrictions of the seal, so that she could turn into a human form and speak, so it was no wonder that she was so happy before.

“...... So, in other words, you will neither nor be able to return the thoughts of the gods to me now?"

After the exchange, Tang Zheng, who was half-groaning, said.

"If it weren't for me, the thoughts of the gods would have been gone. Anyway, half of me is. ”

"So there's still half of me?"

Suzaku was caught by him and hurt his feet, and a hint of blush and anger appeared on his face, and finally said, "Hey, do you want to be so mean? ”

"He burned me to coals with fire. Tang Zheng replied seriously.

Suzaku was in a hurry: "That's the order given to me by the seal, I have to obey!"

"In other words, even now, if I want to go into the valley to collect medicine, you will still burn me?" Tang Zheng once again grasped the key point.

Suzaku blushed and lowered his head and replied, "Yes." It's a ban in my blood, and I have to get rid of it. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless there are a few more copies of the god's thoughts like the one just now, I may be able to break through the ban with my strength. ”

"That can't be, is there any other way?"

"Then I can only wait for one day, after you pass the nine tests, I will complete my mission and ban myself from it. ”

Tang Zheng lamented in his heart: "This is equivalent to not saying it." In short, although you can take on human form and speak, you have no value other than to chat with me. And if I want to go into the valley to pick fairy grass, you won't be merciful if you should beat me, right?"

Suzaku was furious: "What do you mean that there is no value except for chatting with you?"

Tang Zai spread his hands: "Then you sue me, what role can you play to make up for the half of my lost Heavenly God Thoughts." ”

Suzaku was dumbfounded.

She thought about it, and she really couldn't find anything she could do to help.

She can't pick the fairy grass in the valley at all under the ban on Zuò, and the test of Tang Tribulation is also not left under the ban on Zuò, thinking about it this way, she really has no value to Tang Tribulation.

Thinking of this, Suzaku was furious: "Why does the old lady have to give you that half of the divine thoughts." Even if it has half a copy, the old lady swallows it, and she won't give it to you, what's the matter?"

said that he crossed his waist with both hands, and simply put on an arrogant and unreasonable posture. You can't beat me anyway, who am I afraid of?

Tang Zheng was stunned by her like this, and he was a little speechless for a while. After a long time, he finally smiled: "It turned out to be a very unreasonable girl." ”

Suzaku was ashamed: "Who is the girl, this girl has lived here for 8,000 years, and she can be your grandmother regardless of her age." ”

"In that case, then Grandma, you can continue to stay here, the boy will not be accompanied, go first. Tang Zheng said politely.

"What, where are you going?" She had just regained her clarity, and it was the time when she loved to talk, but Tang Zheng suddenly wanted to leave, and she was immediately reluctant.

Tang Zai snorted: "You are unreasonable, you take other people's things but don't pay you, I naturally avoid it from afar, you old man just play slowly here." ”

Saying that he made a gesture of withdrawing.

Hearing this, Suzaku was anxious: "Hey, hey, don't." ”

Tang Zheng hit her death hole this time. Not to mention that she needs someone to accompany her to relieve her boredom at the beginning of her wisdom, even if she wants to lift the ban, she also needs Tang Zhenglai to clear the customs all the way. If Tang Zheng is angry and never comes, then she will have no hope of getting out of trouble and freedom for the rest of her life.

And after the enlightenment is opened, there is nothing more important to Suzaku than freedom.

Seeing that Tang Zheng was leaving, he could only whisper: "Okay, okay, people are talking to you about fun." It's just that I really don't have much to give you right now. ”

Tang Zheng stopped, looked back at Suzaku, and said with a smile: "That's right." It doesn't matter if there is something or not, this can be discussed, the key is to have an attitude first. If we have a correct attitude, we will have something to talk about. Come, come here, let's talk. ”

Suzaku shook his head: "This body is only in the square inch, but it can't go out of the valley." ”

That's exactly what happened.

Tang Zai sighed for Suzaku in his heart.

The secret realm is not big, but poor this girl can only see, can't get out, can only wander between magma and valley all day long, sleeping, no wonder after enlightening the wisdom to return to ignorance...... It's really going to suffocate people.

Tang Zai smiled: "Then I'll come over." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the valley.

As long as he doesn't pick the fairy grass in the valley, the Vermilion Bird doesn't have to attack him.

This moment entered the valley, and the Suzaku also fell into the valley.

Tang Zheng came to Suzaku's side and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't necessarily have nothing, you must know that you yourself are the greatest wealth." ”

Suzaku looked nervous: "What are you thinking? If you want me to be your servant, it's impossible." ”

Although she is not enlightened at the beginning, she has many experiences left by her ancestors in her bloodline memory, including a clause "Don't sell yourself lightly", in case the younger generations sign some treaties with others when they are ignorant and sell themselves cheaply.

Sell it, sell it, although the four holy beasts in ancient times were strong, but they did not reach the top level, if there is the power of the heavens and the earth, it is not impossible to consider selling your body. But selling it cheaply, that's absolutely impossible.

Tang Zheng didn't expect that Suzaku had so much valuable experience hidden in his blood, and he was exposed by Suzaku before he could open his mouth, and he was a little caught off guard for a while, so he could only look up to the sky and hide his embarrassment. In a flash of thought, he quickly changed his words: "You have misunderstood, how could I ask to control the holy beast? If I want to control you, I need a few thoughts of the gods." ”

Suzaku nodded again and again, unaware that he had inadvertently set his value on a few Heavenly Divine Thoughts. Although this price is not cheap, it is different from Suzaku, and most importantly, it is no longer out of reach.

Tang Zheng saw her take the bait, so he smiled and said: "But you can't do it completely, you should always be able to do it partially." ”

"What? you still want to sell this girl's slice?" Suzaku was furious.

Tang Zheng smiled: "Are you anxious again, aren't you?" You misunderstood, I mean, the body of the holy beast is a supreme treasure, if you want, give me some essence blood, it's always okay, right?"

Suzaku suddenly realized, it turned out that this kid wanted essence blood.

But when it comes to it, it's not impossible, and it's a way to do it.

She turned her head to look at Tang Zheng: "This is okay, but essence blood is different from ordinary blood, it is the essence of the blood and qi of the holy beast, even if we ourselves are not too much." ”

"I won't ask for a lot. ”

"Then how much do you want?" Suzaku was unconsciously led by Tang Zheng's nose.

Tang Zai smiled: "One-tenth is about the same." ”

"What?" Suzaku suddenly exploded a burst of flames all over his body, and the monstrous momentum rose to the sky, and the girl's two willow eyebrows were upside down, looking at Tang Zheng murderously.

A tenth of the essence blood?

This greedy bastard, does he know what a tenth of a blood means?

For 10,000 years, even if Vermilion Bird didn't do anything, just by virtue of the improvement of her bloodline power and the cultivation of this magma land, her realm had also been raised to the point of distraction, and she was only one step away from returning to the void realm. The reason why it can't be broken through is mainly because the ban on the master of the army limits its promotion, because once it enters and returns to the void, it is equivalent to Sendai, and even if it is the ban of the master of the army, it is difficult to shackle it for a long time.

But once one-tenth of the essence blood is taken away, Suzaku's strength will be reduced by at least one order, which has a great impact on Suzaku.

Tang Zheng was not in a hurry: "Girl, don't be in a hurry." Listen to me. ”

"No matter what you say, it's impossible!" Suzaku said angrily, "Your request is too unreasonable, a tenth of the essence blood, I won't be able to recover it in a few hundred years." ”

"I don't think it's reasonable. Tang Zai smiled and said, "Do you think, Miss Suzaku, if I bring five copies of the Heavenly God's Thoughts and let you control it for me for a hundred years, it won't be a problem, right?"

"Five Heavenly Thoughts?" Suzaku looked down and thought for a moment.

Five heavenly thoughts were almost enough for her to get out of trouble. If this is the case, it is worth it for her to be a servant of Tang Zheng for a hundred years, it is better than being trapped here like before.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Five parts are okay." ”

Tang Zheng said: "Then you see, since five copies of the thoughts of the gods can buy the girl, then half of the thoughts of the gods is exactly one-tenth of the girl's worth? ”

Huh?

Suzaku was stunned for a moment.

She tilted her head and thought about it for a long time, but she always felt that there was something wrong with this account, but she couldn't say why.

After thinking for a long time, he shouted: "I know, haha, this account is not right!"

Tang Zai's heart jumped, thinking that this girl woke up so quickly, didn't she just open her spiritual wisdom? Even if she had the experience left over from the bloodline, she couldn't replace her own wisdom, how could she bypass this bend all of a sudden.

I heard Suzaku already shouting, "I have used one divine thought before, and if I add five more parts, it should be six parts." Half of the divine thought should be one-twelfth, not one-tenth!"

"......" Tang Zheng was speechless.

Seeing the joy of Suzaku jumping and jumping, Tang Zai gave a thumbs up, and said with admiration on his face: "The girl is wise, and I know that this little trick can't be hidden from the girl." In this case, bring in one-twelfth of the essence blood. ”

“......”
