I didn't intend to be a Fairy

Tonight is Izayoi, when the moon is full.

Under the moonlight, the mountains and forests undulated, and the tallest and largest ancient Qingtong tree was right in front of the Taoist, standing on the distant skyline.

There are only a few naturally generated clouds and mist in this world, which are either accumulated in the mountains, crawling under the ancient trees, or floating in groups between the ancient trees, showing a light gray-white color in the moonlight.

Suddenly there was a breeze in the mountains.

If it were normal, when the miasma was thick, this breeze would have driven away all the miasma and restored clarity to the world. However, now it only dispersed a few clouds and smoke on the ground.

The Taoist stood with his staff and raised his head high.

"Look!"

It was still the sound of swallows reminding me.

The calico cat suddenly raised its head, its eyes were round, like a gem or a piece of amber, reflecting the bright moon and the clouds in the sky, with another touch of red light in the clouds.

The light is as red as fire, forming an illusory divine bird, flying back and forth from the north.

Very similar to what I saw a few years ago——

The neck is long and slender, and the head is dotted with crown feathers. It seems to be made of pure light, noble and sacred. It barely flapped its wings before flying from a distance with its long tail feathers. It was huge and occupied almost half of the sky when it flew above the heads of the group.

As it flies, little bits of light dust are scattered, like sparks falling from the iron flower, and like countless broken feathers falling into the darkness, decorating the night.

It's still like a dream scene.

The scene of the divine bird coming at night was the second time that the swallow and the cat saw it, but they were still stunned.

I just feel that thousand-year-old willow trees, overseas dragon kings, and falcon dragons and giant rhinos may be bigger and more terrifying than this divine bird, but they are not worth mentioning in front of this incarnation of the aura of heaven and earth that is full of sanctity and auspiciousness.

The Taoist also raised his head and watched silently.

"The legend is actually true..."

Many years ago in Yanzhou, I heard that the sacred birds from the north of Yuezhou would only fly during the summer and winter solstice, with the firebird at the summer solstice and the icebird at the winter solstice. Now it is confirmed.

It’s just that the legend doesn’t say that the sacred bird travels from south to north during the winter solstice and from north to south during the summer solstice.

Perhaps in this world, except for the creatures who grow or live in the Qingtong Forest, there are not many people who can see the sacred birds of the winter solstice and summer solstice at the same time, right?

Just like last time, the divine bird flew slowly and stopped on the tallest Qingtong tree. The huge tree nest just accommodated it, and the light of the divine bird illuminated the tree nest. And it lowered its head to comb its feathers, then turned its head to look at the Taoist who was far away, as if it also noticed the extraordinaryness of this Taoist here.

Song You pursed his lips, but withdrew his gaze and stepped forward.

The calico cat and the swallow were both stunned for a moment, but the bay-red horse didn't care. It only knew that as soon as the person left, it would follow him.

The divine bird stared down at him.

It seemed that it had some sympathy, and it seemed that it could see through the heart of the Taoist. After just a moment, it withdrew its gaze. It was neither alert nor indifferent, and just continued to comb its feathers lazily, waiting for this unknown person. The Taoist priest from somewhere gradually approached it.

Yes, wait.

This time the divine bird rested much longer than last time.

It wasn't until the Taoist came to the Qingtong tree and raised his head high that he could more clearly realize the hugeness of the ancient Qingtong tree and the sacred bird on the tree. They were like pillars of the sky and gods living in the sky.

"My surname is Song You, and he is the successor of Fulong Temple." Song You doesn't care whether it understands the etiquette of the current world, cares about it, or even understands the language of the current world, or whether it can intersect with the heart like some magic spells or the supernatural powers of innate elves. In short, Also maintain etiquette.

"I came to look for you because the evil spirit has occupied the Qingtong Forest and is harming the world. It is also guarded by the Qingtong Forest and it is difficult to get rid of it. If you use brute force to do it, this ancient land will be destroyed. I know that I have been here for thousands of years. I come here to rest every year, so I wanted to ask for advice on how to get rid of evil spirits."

The divine bird paused for a moment, wondering if he understood.

After a brief pause, it continued to comb its feathers, neither answering Song You nor looking around the green tung forest, its arrogant temperament clearly revealed.

About half a quarter of an hour later——

The divine bird seemed to have finally rested enough. It flapped its wings and flew away, dragging its long tail feathers with an elegant and lazy posture. It flew up into the night sky, scattering large amounts of light and dust as it flew higher and higher.

Just when Song You thought it was about to leave and was seeking to defeat the enemy with brute strength, he couldn't help but look disappointed. He saw the divine bird in the sky turn around, still dragging its tail feathers with brilliance, but suddenly swooped down. Come.

"Hey..."

Song You clearly heard the cry of the divine bird.

Clear and ethereal, echoing far away.

Then there was a loud noise——

"Boom!"

The divine bird rushed straight into the Qingtong forest. First, it turned into a dazzling orange-red light. The light flowed along the earth like water, and then there was another bang, and the ground ignited into flames.

The flames also flowed turbulently along the ground, spreading quickly, and arrived in front of Song You in the blink of an eye.

Song You was also stunned.

He quickly waved his bamboo stick to protect his body with spiritual light.

"boom!"

The flames flowed past them, almost burning everything around them, and quickly spread behind them with the speed of wind and waves, lighting up all the clumps of weeds and ancient trees, and the entire Qingtong in the north of Yuezhou The ancient forest, as far as the eye can see, becomes a sea of ​​flames.

Song You's eyes were completely filled with fire.

Only then did he feel something in his heart——

Yes, the divine bird is so arrogant. Even if it flies across the sky, it refuses to land on the ground. How can it tolerate its only place in the world being stained by an evil spirit?

"Boom..."

God knows how overbearing this flame is.

The huge ancient Qingtong trees were burned as red as charcoal in just an instant. Even though they towered into the clouds, the flames quickly climbed up along the trunks, as if the trees were coated with kerosene, and the crown of the tree was even more intense. When it touches fire, it burns violently and explodes into torches that are lifted up from the earth into the clouds.

As the fire and flames spread rapidly on the ground, all the huge ancient Qingtong trees within a radius of several hundred miles were caught in the flames, and the crowns of the trees burned one after another.

"Boom boom boom..."

The ancient tree closest to the center had been burned to pieces and collapsed in just a few moments.

There was a loud bang when it landed, and countless sparks of fire exploded.

Tonight, the north of Yuezhou became a sea of ​​fire.

"Let's leave quickly."

Song You still maintained his spiritual body protection to protect himself and others from being hurt by the flames, and then left the place.

I couldn't help but turn around and look at the tallest green paulownia tree.

But he happened to see the moment it collapsed.

"..."

What a pity for this ancient Qingtong forest.

This should be a rare imprint from ancient times that has been left to the present, but I wonder if future generations will be able to see it again.

"Definitely..."

Song You rode the bay-red horse for the second time. The swallow stood on his shoulders and the cat huddled in his arms. The bay-red horse was as fast as the wind, carrying them out quickly.

The bay horse runs fast, but it is also bumpy.

In addition, it often changes direction to avoid obstacles, making it difficult to sit still.

Yanzi had no choice but to hold on to the clothes on Song You's shoulders with both claws. Even so, he was thrown away two or three times. Fortunately, he could fly. Once he was thrown away, he spread his wings and flew back immediately.

The calico cat also tried hard to catch the Taoist, and at the same time looked at the quilt bag with wide eyes. She watched helplessly as the money bag placed on the top layer of the quilt bag kept spilling copper coins and broken silver, falling to the ground. She was heartbroken but forced herself to do so. I couldn't bear to pick it up, I felt uncomfortable looking at it but I couldn't help but stop looking. I even counted how much money was left behind while looking at it. The more I counted, the more uncomfortable I felt, but I couldn't help but count.

It wasn't until she realized that her little wooden sign had been dropped that she quickly broke away from the Taoist and dropped it to pick it up.

But Song You was shocked.

Fortunately, there was no danger and we stepped out of Qingtong Forest.

The fire suddenly stopped at the edge of Qingtong Forest.

"Xilulu..."

The horse seemed to relax and finally stopped.

Song You turned around on horseback and saw the towering ancient trees gradually collapsing in the sea of ​​​​fire, the burned vegetation, and the willows struggling between the ancient trees. Even the earth was struggling with the roots of the willows. Underneath, hills are rising, cracks are opening, and the mountains are rising and falling.

Towering firelight illuminated the sky.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Palace is not really above the clouds. Otherwise, if the fire burned down that night, most of the Heavenly Palace would have been burned down.

Song You dismounted and stood here watching silently.

The fire burned all night.

Even though there is nothing left to burn on the ground, it still does not go out, until the sky is getting brighter, the east is bright, the first ray of sunlight shines down, the firelight suddenly fades like a tide, and in the blink of an eye not a single spark can be seen on the ground. Only bursts of white smoke are left, rising into the sky into clouds.

Until this time, the originally spectacular and mysterious Qingtong Ancient Forest had been reduced to the endless blackened mountains. The scenery had disappeared, and the aura was gone.

Song You felt even more emotional and regretful.

And marveled at the steadfastness and determination of the divine bird.

The thousand-year-old willow tree was naturally wiped out.

"pity……"

Song You sighed deeply.

After a long while, he turned his head and looked at Sanhua Empress, who had turned into a human form and was sitting behind her, and asked: "What did Sanhua Empress drop before that she suddenly went to pick it up?"

"Tai Pai!"

"..."

Song You lowered his head and saw the small wooden sign in her hand. He couldn't help but pursed his lips and whispered: "It's just a wooden sign. It can be carved again if it's gone. Sanhua Empress should still put safety first."

"Well!"

"This is very dangerous..."

"Well!"

"Next time something like this happens..."

The Taoist was gentle and patient as he talked to her.

The little girl sat there blankly, raising her head and staring at him unblinkingly, as if she was listening very seriously. She only raised her head when the Taoist had almost finished speaking and asked her if he understood and remembered. He raised his right hand and scratched the back of his left hand, yawned, looked at him and said:

"Miss Sanhua is a little sleepy..."

He looked like he didn't listen at all.

"..."

Song You seemed helpless, but also found it funny, so he had no choice but to sit down and rest here with them.

In the distance are continuous ashes, as dark as ink.

But the divine bird has the ability to achieve nirvana, and the divine tree seems to be affected by it. At noon, new shoots sprouted from the ashes, and they were green and pleasant.
