knife sharpening

Jiaoyan City Center Park.

The breeze blows, and the sparkling water of the artificial lake flashes a pleasant golden color.

On the bench by the lake, a young man was sitting quietly.

He was wearing an off-white sweater and brown trousers, with his head lowered and looking intently at a thick black book in his hand.

The warm winter sun shone lazily on the young man's body, coating his satin-like half-long black hair and fair and handsome face with a faint golden glow, forming a quiet and beautiful picture like an oil painting.

“When He senses that his life is coming to an end, He will pick up fragrant branches and grass leaves to build his final nest in the silent crater.

When death came, He spread his wings, stirred up the power of the volcano, ignited the nest, and finally was reborn in the orange flames, escaping the call of Hades again.

Some people say that He lives forever in the Palace of the Sun, sitting high on an immortal throne made of gold, with every feather shining with eternal brilliance.

Some people say that He often walks around the world in the form of a poet, holding a golden harp in his arms and chanting beautiful and moving songs.

Some people also say that His appearance is engraved on the thirty-seventh pillar of the Demon God. His wings are pitch black, and every time he flaps his wings, a world can be submerged in black ashes."

Lu Yuan closed the page of the book, but various legends and information about the "Phoenix" were still scrolling in his eyes.

He squinted his eyes and looked up at the sun. After moving his eyes downward, he found a girl holding a sketchpad on the lawn not far away, looking secretly at him.

Lu Yuan smiled at the other party, then lowered his head and continued to think about his own things.

It has been two weeks since he returned from Penglai.

During this period of time, I lived like an ordinary person, and my days were as calm as the winter lake in front of me.

Only occasionally I can still feel the waves coming from the outside world.

Lu Yuan habitually clicked on Huang Xiong's internal forum.

If you glance at it casually, you will see basically posts about the legendary secret realm—Mountain of Embers.

It has been almost two weeks since the "Mountain of Embers", one of the nine legendary secret realms, was officially opened, but the popularity has not diminished at all, but has become more and more intense.

“Every opening of a legendary secret realm requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and the exploration of a legendary secret realm is extremely difficult, so every time a legendary secret realm is opened, the exploration process is quite long.

The duration may be as short as half a year or as long as three to five years.

It seems that another group of people from the Mysterious God Group have been recruited recently, including Song Cong and Zhou Ling."

Lu Yuan's slender white fingers lightly traced the cover of the black book in his hand, his eyes flashed, and he thought silently in his heart.

To be honest, he really wanted to go.

The "Phoenix Feather" in the Merit Mall, which had an exchange price of up to one billion, kept making him jealous.

This "Feather of the Phoenix" is said to come from the secret realm of "Mountain of Embers".

There are only two in the world, one in Xia Kingdom and the other in Far Star Federation.

Because it is related to the legendary immortal phoenix, "Mountain of Embers" is by far the most opened secret realm among the nine legendary secret realms.

Everyone is interested in the mystery of "eternal life" that may be contained in it. Unfortunately, no breakthrough research results have been exposed so far.

"Xiao Rui said that the two existing 'Phoenix Feathers' may not be the real Phoenix Feathers.

Because these two feathers are just two unknown mysterious feathers obtained in the Mountain of Embers, the name Phoenix was imposed on them.

The Mountain of Embers has not yet been explored more than 10%, so the probability of fake feathers is very high.

In this case, it is even more necessary for me to go in by myself."

Lu Yuan didn't think he was more powerful than all the members of extraordinary organizations in the world put together.

but

What if.

If he's really lucky, I might just pick up a real feather for him.

There is also a "hundred-eyed crow's feather" in his belly, which is the so-called "universal gravity, Pythagorean theorem"

What if there are any mutual attraction properties between different feathers?

This thing is bad, right?

During this period, he studied the legends and information about the "Phoenix" every day to prepare for this.

However, entering this secret realm is not something he can just enter if he wants to.

Lu Yuan tentatively begged Yu Wentong several times, but was rejected. He said that the casualty rate was very high and asked him to wait.

Lu Yuan sighed softly and stood up from the bench with the black book in hand.

When the girl secretly drawing for him on the lawn in the distance saw this, she quickly got up, didn't even want her drawing board, grabbed her cell phone and ran towards him.

Lu Yuan quickened his pace slightly, and then the whole person disappeared on the grass like smoke, leaving only the sketch girl standing there with a blank look on her face, wondering whether this silent encounter was just a dream in the winter morning.

After leaving the park, the sound of car horns kept ringing in my ears.

Lu Yuan walked leisurely down the long street, his eyes flashed slightly, and he called up another piece of information.

"The Evil Quetzalcoatl of the Sky, the supreme god who controls the changes in the sky and airflow in Azik myths and legends

He rules over the morning star, invented words and books, and brings abundance to the world.

He also represents death and destruction.”

【The god in charge of the sky

Serve you with the purest evil thoughts

Cut my chest with a blade made of wind and morning dew

The liver and intestines are arranged in the shape of feathers

Please give your faithful followers a new heart

Their skin will turn into blue-red velvet smoke under this power]

Lu Yuan once obtained a mysterious slate from the hands of the three Elephant and Eagle Guardians of the Evil Martial Alliance, which claimed to contain the "treasure" of the previous Evil Emperor.

The stone slab was also unsealed and released a transparent basilisk with wings that reached the walking level.

Lu Yuan deciphered the writing on the stone tablet.

After the battle of Penglai and the complete unification of the Evil Martial Alliance, combined with the information revealed from the text on the stone tablet, it can be regarded as confirmation.

The so-called "Evil Emperor's Treasure" is actually related to a legendary treasure called "The Heart of Quetzalcoatl".

"It is said that the heart of Quetzalcoatl is hidden in the Evil Secret Realm of the Sky among the nine legendary secret realms."

"The evil emperor of the Evil Martial Alliance seems to have accidentally discovered another entrance to the 'Evil in the Sky'"

"Now that everyone's eyes are on the secret realm of Ember Mountain, it's the best time for me to explore the 'Evil in the Sky' alone."

Lu Yuan was thinking in his mind.

Although exploring alone means reaping all the rewards, you also have to bear the risk of facing the terrifying dangers of the legendary secret realm alone.

I have been exploring the "Mountain of Embers" for two weeks. It is said that the damage rate is quite high, and even the Flying Bear General has been rebuilt.

With such a small body, if he goes in, not only whether he can get the heart of Quetzalcoatl, but whether he can come out alive is a question worth considering.

Moreover, the specific location of this entrance is still being searched.

Lu Yuan has already sent almost all his people from the Evil Martial Alliance to look for him.

He now feels the benefits of having a "private army".

Otherwise, this kind of thing can only use the power of Huang Xiong, and it will not be hidden at all.

Lu Yuan stopped under a bus stop and took advantage of the time to get on a bus that had just arrived.

Twenty minutes later, I got off the bus at the platform in front of my home.

Then he walked slowly towards his home.

The result of the Penglai battle, in the eyes of the outside world, was that a great master who was one of the Penglai Five Elders died, and the Penglai Five Elders became the Penglai Four Elders.

And the era of God Wu Chao is completely gone.

But only the road is far away and the scenery of Penglai is not there.

Although it is still purely autonomous in name, Penglai has actually completely fallen under the control of Huang Xiong.

The Hutian Secret Realm was turned upside down by the people brought by Xiao Rui. Not only did they copy back all the information left by Wu Chao inside, but they also completely sealed the Hutian Secret Realm.

However, one thing is quite kind, that is, everything inside will be converted into corresponding merit points as Lu Yuan's reward for "capture Penglai".

He also allowed Lu Yuan to keep some of the things he wanted.

Lu Yuan was originally very eager for merit points.

But after hearing what Xiao Rui said on Wusheng Island, and after chatting with Yu Wentong for a while,

Lu Yuan is also a confused and confused group now.

"Shaved noodles! Shaved noodles! Delicious shaved noodles!"
