Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Of course Xie Zihao knows that the phoenix mentioned by Sonia Randolph is the phoenix in Western legend.

This magical creature originated from Nile mythology. The original phoenix in the legend was Bennu, the divine bird in Nile mythology. It is said that Bennu was burned from a sacred tree in the sanctuary of the temple of the sun god Ra.

created himself out of the flames.

This is obviously very similar to the legend of the sun bird and the hibiscus tree in the mythology of Middle-earth.

After the legend of Bennu spread to Greece, it also became the Phoenix among Europeans.

Legend has it that every five hundred years or so, the phoenix will collect various fragrant branches or grass blades, stack them up, set them on fire, and burn themselves on fire. In the final ashes, reborn baby birds will appear.

There is also a legend that the phoenix looks like a phoenix, sounds like a naughty boy, and can transform into a human form. During the Ming Dynasty, this magical bird was translated by foreign missionaries and spread to China. It was translated as "Phoenix" or "Fire Phoenix" in the East.

, but although similar to the Phoenix in Middle-earth mythology, it belongs to a different mythological system.

In other words, the Phoenix has a more similar description to the sun-god birds such as the Suzaku and the Golden Crow in Middle-earth mythology. Of course, people usually classify the Suzaku and the Golden Crow into the genus of the Phoenix.

Although in Xie Zihao's opinion, the Phoenix is ​​much inferior to the legendary mythical birds Phoenix, Suzaku, and Golden Crow in Middle-earth legends. It is probably at the level of Phoenix subspecies like Qingluan, but it is also an incredible divine bird in Western mythology.

, but the Jefferson family has been unable to find any other uses for this thing for more than ten years after they got it, and neither physics nor high temperature can destroy the eggshell in the slightest.

However, Xie Zihao took a quick look and roughly knew that this thing was a top-quality weapon refining material, a treasure among heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

But it cannot be dealt with by secular means. It requires spiritual power to act on the eggshell fragments, and it also requires a very high level of spiritual power.

"It's no wonder that Jefferson couldn't make use of this thing. It's really that their extraordinary strength has been inferior to each other since the first generation of ancestors left, and they rarely stretch their hips."

When Xie Zihao himself was only innately cultivated, his strength far exceeded that of the average B-level, and he also had the authority and power given by plug-ins. Moreover, now that he was a Taoist monk, he certainly had no problem handling this eggshell fragment.

It's just that he planned to take it to the eagle egg to see if it could hatch, and then try to use it for refining the weapon.

For Xie Zihao to get this phoenix eggshell, the two people from the Special Bureau are also a little envious, because this thing looks very extraordinary, and it is an excellent research for their Special Bureau and the federal government.

Material.

Mrs. Garcia even sighed:

"Phoenix! Although some people have seen traces of the phoenix, the most recent record is from a Bavarian farmer in the mid-19th century more than a hundred years ago. However, phoenix egg shells are rarely handed down. Legend has it that

This magical bird has the habit of eating its own eggshells, so the most recent record about phoenix eggshells is the notes of an alchemist in the 17th century, which recorded the efficacy of this eggshell."

Xie Zihao asked immediately.

"Madam, do you know the efficacy of phoenix egg shells?"

Mrs. Garcia didn't hide it either.

"I know a little bit. It is said that phoenix eggshells are one of the materials for refining artifacts. However, there have been no successful examples in the history of mortals refining artifacts. In addition, phoenix eggshells can also be used as one of the main materials for universal elixirs.

, but this statement is too illusory."

Xie Zihao was thoughtful after hearing this.

He has heard of the universal elixir, which is a magical elixir comparable to the Philosopher's Stone in Western legends. It can cure all injuries and illnesses, including disabilities, and will make people immortal after taking it.

It is called the elixir of life.

However, Xie Zihao also feels that this usage is not very reliable. Either this kind of universal elixir will have serious defects after taking it, or it is extremely difficult to refine it and there is almost no possibility of success. Otherwise, those people will have immortality.

Is it that easy not to die?

On the contrary, in his opinion, its use as an artifact material is more reliable.

And it just so happened that several magic weapons in his hand should be strengthened. The Wuyun Mystic Barrier, which was originally a magic weapon for emergency use, was promoted to a magic weapon first, but his two natal magic weapons were still in the

In the process of evolution!

…

One was a phoenix eggshell and the other was a crystal skull. This time, the harvest was great. The smile on Xie Zihao's face disappeared all the way back. Melinda, who was traveling with her, also knew that her boyfriend was in a good mood.

Of course, she was also happy for her boyfriend. When the two returned home, Melinda saw Xie Zihao mysteriously taking out a big egg from the quiet room.

She had never seen this thing before, so she couldn't help but wonder:

"What is this? Is it delicious?"

As for Xie Zihao's cooking skills, she was deeply impressed by this man, so when she saw such a big egg, she immediately thought of eating it.

Xie Zihao was amused and explained:

"This is an egg I got by accident. I want to try to see if I can hatch it!"

"Eggs? What kind of bird eggs are they?"

Melinda also heard what Sonia said, and of course she knew that Xie Zihao was probably planning to try to use the phoenix eggshell fragments to hatch the egg.

"Keep it secret for now, you will know when the hatching is successful!"

Xie Zihao did not answer directly, but kept it secret.

Looking at the eagle egg in his hand, he saw that it had not moved at all. If he hadn't been able to sense the faint breath of life inside, he would have thought that this thing was already a dead egg!

But when he brought the phoenix eggshell fragment close to the surface of the eagle egg, the egg trembled slightly, but it responded to the eggshell fragment.

There's drama!

Xie Zihao said with a smile:

"It seems that the Jefferson family used ordinary birds for their experiments, and my egg has an extraordinary origin, so it reacts when it encounters a phoenix egg shell. The next step is to wait for when it will hatch..."

Melinda is also curious about things like hatching eggs, which reminds her of when she was a child and went to her grandpa's farm to watch chickens hatching. Children are very interested in this magical process of giving birth to life.

Melinda also made a bird's nest-like nest for the egg with cotton and soft cushions, and placed the egg and phoenix eggshell fragments inside.

Xie Zihao also understands this mentality.

Even in his previous life, when he was a child in the town, he often saw vendors carrying bamboo baskets selling chirping chicks with dyed fur. He always had the urge to buy a few home and raise them.

Later, his grandfather actually bought it for him. At that time, he took good care of several chicks. During that time, the first thing he did after school every day was to dig for earthworms, catch insects and collect grass seeds. In the end, the chicks managed to survive for four years.

Only, the chickens were raised until they were half grown, and their coats were smooth and watery, and they looked like very healthy chickens. Then they were sold to an aunt and brought back to the countryside to raise.

Of course, this was not forced by grandpa, but he took the initiative to sell it. Although he was very reluctant to part with it, the money he got plus the New Year's money he had saved for several years allowed him to buy a sweater as a gift for grandpa on his birthday.

Grandpa was very happy, and so was he, but he never had a pet again.

Now that there are signs of hatching this eagle egg, although he considers himself to be a mature man, Xie Zihao still feels quite expectant in his heart.

And this eagle egg that had been silent for a long time did not make Xie Zihao wait any longer. Every ten minutes, he could feel that the life breath inside it had grown a little more than before. At night, Xie Zihao felt that the egg had already

There were no signs of hatching, so the two of them stayed awake to watch the eggs.

At the break of dawn, the eagle egg finally shook, and then a hole opened in it, and a relatively immature bird's beak stuck out from the inside.
