Chapter 40: Phoenix Incantation

  As I entered the house, what I saw was Tianzhe sitting on a chair, looking at Erlang's legs and chatting with Guo Lao. Zhao Feiyu, Kong Yiyi, and Dong Qinger were all standing quietly on one side, not saying a word.

  I suspect I must have seen it wrongly.

  At this time, Tian and Old Guo seemed to have reached a happy point in their conversation, and the two of them burst out laughing. It was as if they had already forgotten that there were still several people standing beside them.

  I frowned at Old Man Guo, and when he saw me, he just smiled and pointed to the chair beside him, indicating for me to sit down and talk.

  "You dare to call yourself a master in front of the emperor, you must have some real skills. " Old Guo picked up his small teapot, took a sip and smacked his lips saying it's good tea, then handed it to me asking: Want some?

  I took a look at Old Guo and thought that it's not easy for you to be like this when talking about serious matters.

  The heavens just smiled and didn't say much. She glanced at Old Man Guo, pretending not to have heard his question, and said: I don't know if Mr. Guo has any more tea leaves? It's been a long time since I've brewed tea, my hands are itching.

  Guo Lao Tou didn't seem to want to get angry, he just asked Zhao Fei Yu to bring over some clean tea utensils and tea leaves.

  When a complete set of clean tea utensils was placed in front of him, he suddenly became busy on his own.

  When the water boils, he skillfully lifts the kettle high and lets the boiling water pour down. Then, using his wrist strength, he repeatedly raises and lowers the pouring water three times, making the tea leaves tumble in the water. I don't know how, but it's as if something has caught my attention, wanting to take me away.

  "Good!" Just as I was staring blankly, Old Guo shouted loudly and woke me up. Not only that, Zhao Feiyu and Kong Yiren slapped my shoulders heavily!

  "What a phoenix nodding three times!" Old Man Guo sneered and added this sentence.

  The heavens placed the tea in front of Old Man Guo and me without changing their expression, pointing to the teacups, indicating for us to drink. Old Man Guo didn't make any movement, and I naturally wouldn't either. Just now, in a daze, I seemed to have been distracted. If it weren't for Old Man Guo's single word of "good", I would have thought my soul was about to be taken away.

  "Wouldn't you like some tea?" Tian Zhe looked at me and Old Man Guo without any movement, furrowing his brow as he asked.

  Zhao Feiyu sneered coldly behind me, looking at Tianzhe with a provocative tone: "My brother and that person named Yin Zhuyang are having a magic duel, I suppose you already know. You can even use the Phoenix Three-Point Head trick? Are you taking advantage of my brother's insufficient energy to snatch his soul? However, do you think I and Kong Yi are vegetarians?"

  After hearing Zhao Feiyu's words, I finally understood. Tianye is planning to use a sinister trick on me, taking advantage of my current lack of energy, dealing with me would be as easy as eating a piece of cake!

  I frowned and looked at Tianzhe with some annoyance. If it weren't for my physical condition, I would have gone up and fought her a long time ago.

  The heavens looked at me, somewhat disdainfully snorted. She leaned against the chair, crossed her legs to the other side, and continued: It's nothing more than that. I don't know how Yin Zhongyang lost to you either? Can't even see the three points of Feng Huang, Mu Lin, are you really as formidable as the legend says?

  Phoenix three nods? I can recall this name, it seems to be a name in tea art. But also the name of witchcraft. Phoenix three nods, can also be called phoenix three pecks. One peck human essence, two pecks human spirit, three pecks human soul.

  Let's recall the conversation between Ying Zheng and Yin Zuo earlier. Huang Shi Pu's injury was treated by Tian Zhe before. It seems that this Tian Zhe is likely a witch doctor.

  "Want to cast a spell on me?" I raised my head and looked at Tianzhe, saying with a fake smile.

  The heavens didn't respond to me, instead they shifted their gaze towards Old Man Guo. Her eyes seemed to want to see right through him, but Old Man Guo's calm demeanor shouldn't make us worry too much.

  "What about Huang Shi Bo's two disciples?" Tian Zhen asked without hesitation.

  Mr. Guo took another sip of tea and said slowly: Let him go.

  He snorted coldly and said provocatively: Who doesn't know you, Guo Jianhua? Among the Taoists, you're probably the most skilled at deceiving people. I thought you were already dead, but I didn't expect you to still be alive. If I have the chance, can I kill you? According to our generational ranking, should I still address you as Master?

  "As long as you can kill me, I'll be waiting for you anytime." Old Guo put down his teacup calmly and said with an unchanged expression.

  But hearing that from Tianzhe's mouth, I understood one thing... Guo Jianhua must have had an affair with Tianzhe! And the result wasn't very good either! Otherwise, Tianzhe wouldn't have said that!

  I looked up at Zhao Feiyu, and he had a similarly perplexed expression on his face. He looked around, with the same "what's going on" look.

  The heavens didn't say much, they just stood up and walked towards the door. When they reached the entrance, they suddenly stopped in their tracks, turned around and looked at Dong Qizong, saying: My task is simple, I just need to take you back to Jianghe. The position of the three dukes is mine, if you have the ability, then protect Dong Qizong well. Hmph.

  After saying this, Tian Zhen left without looking back.

  The sky is one walk, and our eyes naturally looked at Old Man Guo. Old Man Guo continued to drink his tea, looking at us all staring at him, he asked strangely: What are you looking at me for? I know I'm very handsome, don't look at me like that, it makes me blush.

  Zhao Feiyu swaggered over and sat down in the chair that Tianzhe had just occupied, also crossing his legs and asking: "Master, I really didn't know that you have other disciples besides me?"

  Although the tone is calm, all of us can tell that Zhao Feiyu is jealous.

  In our circle, we emphasize inheritance. Generally, a master can only have one direct disciple. Especially for Zhao Feiyu, who comes from a famous school, he values inheritance even more. Each generation can only have one successor, and the title of "master" can only be called by one person.

  Mr. Guo naturally knew what Zhao Feiyu was worried about. He looked at Zhao Feiyu and said seriously: This matter, whether you say it or not, is the same. You just need to know that you are my closest disciple.

  "Your expression clearly says that you're thinking 'this place has no silver three hundred taels'. We don't care about that, but you must tell me clearly." Zhao Feiyu's temper had also come out.

  Zhao Feiyu wouldn't get hung up on some things, but when it came to his master and disciple relationship, he got stubborn, even three-headed cows couldn't pull him back. Guo Lao naturally knew about his disciple's temper, he furrowed his brow, not knowing what to say.

  "Do you want to listen?" Old Man Guo raised his head and asked us a few people.

  Zhao Feiyu looked at Old Man Guo and said seriously: What's wrong with you?

  Mr. Guo nodded and muttered to himself: Where should I start?

  Zhao Feiyu is the same age as me, twenty-five this year. Kong Yiyi is also the same. Yin Zhouyang is just a young man in his early twenties, and Tian Ze is also twenty years old.

  Why say this? The reason is simple, this has a great relationship with Yin Zhou Yang and Tian Zhe.

  What they learned was witchcraft. However, when Old Man Guo met them, they were just a group of children who only knew the surface.

  Oh, right, there's also someone named Li Chenxin.

  That's beside the point.

  Guo Lao and my dad had disappeared for a period of time, it was after we came out from Hei Zhu Lin. The two of them just vanished into thin air.

  It's been five years now.

  According to Old Guo's account, he was on his way to Miao territory to find something when he met three little kids who were all from Miao territory. Old Guo simply used some small trinkets to buy off the 15-year-old kid and had the three little kids take him to their village.

  The stockade villages of Miaojiang have almost disappeared, and most of them are only left with ruins. However, Old Guo somehow found an existing ancient Miaojiang village. When I heard this, I couldn't help but applaud for Old Guo.

  "That village is a paradise on earth. Everything is very pure."

  This is the original words of Old Guo evaluating that village. I couldn't think of any other place like a utopia, it's still Miao Village. But looking at Old Guo's worried face, I guess he must have done something wrong to them.

  The Miao Village has its own rules, with successors divided by gender. Male successors learn witchcraft, while female successors learn Gu techniques. Coincidentally, Yin Zhouyang and Li Chenxin are the next successors of the Miao Village.

  It was originally a good Miaozhai village, but it was completely messed up by Old Man Guo.

  When someone is attracted to something novel, the consequences are unthinkable. Tian was that troublemaker. Guo Lao's unintentionally revealed Dao technique caught Tian's attention. Tian pestered Guo Lao to death wanting to learn the technique, and Guo Lao had no choice but to casually teach him some of it.

  Tianzhe's talent is very good, and whatever Old Man Guo teaches her, she can learn quickly. Not only that, Tianzhe herself knows some poisonous techniques, and she grows up very fast.

  Old Guo wanted something that the people of Miao Village were unwilling to give. Old Guo steeled himself and insisted, so both sides quarreled and fell out. At this time, Tian asked if he could take Old Guo as his master, but Old Guo naturally refused.

  Old Guo never expected that Jianghe's people would intervene at this time. The person who came to Miao Village was still the emperor of Jianghe. Yes, it was Ying Zheng. However, Old Guo did not know he was Ying Zheng.

  Ying Zheng proposed an idea with the attitude of an outsider, that is, a trial by combat. The principle of survival of the fittest has remained unchanged for thousands of years and is still applicable today. The people of Miao Village naturally agreed, as did Old Man Guo.

  In the end, it was Old Guo who lost.

  Guo Lao Tuo lost willingly and was ready to leave the next morning.

  That night, a big fire suddenly broke out in Miao Village. Guo Lao was still woken up by Tian Zhe. When Guo Lao ran to a safe place, Tian Zhe told Guo Lao honestly that the fire was set by Tian Zhe himself.

  Tian asked Old Man Guo if it was she who helped him get that thing, and then he took her as his apprentice. Old Man Guo got angry and slapped Tian with a loud slap, and then he walked away alone.

  From then on, Old Man Guo never saw daylight again.

  "What is that thing you're talking about?" I asked, unable to help myself from interrupting Old Man Guo.

  Old Guo raised his head and looked at me, saying word by word: Feng Huang Chui.
