Beauty Comprehensive 1999

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

This magical creature originated from the myth of the Nile. According to legend, the first undead bird is the bird Benu in the myth of the Nile. It is said that the Benu bird was burned from a sacred tree in the sanctuary of the temple of the sun god Ra. Created himself in the flames of the

This is obviously very similar to the legend of the sun god bird and the hibiscus tree in the Chinese mythology.

After the legend of Bennu spread to Greece, it became the phoenix among the European population.

Legend has it that every 500 years or so, the phoenix will collect various scented branches or grass leaves, stack them up and set themselves on fire. In the end, a reborn young bird will appear in the ashes left behind.

There are also legends that the phoenix is ​​shaped like a phoenix, has a voice like a urchin, and can take human form.In the Ming Dynasty, this kind of divine bird was translated by foreign missionaries and spread to China. In the East, it was translated as "Phoenix" or "Fire Phoenix". Although it is similar to the Phoenix in the Chinese mythology, it belongs to a different mythology system.

In other words, the phoenix has a more similar description to the sun god birds such as Suzaku and Jinwu in Middle-earth mythology. Of course, people usually classify Suzaku and Jinwu as phoenixes.

Although in Xie Zihao's opinion, the phoenix is ​​much worse than the legendary phoenix, squirrel, and golden crow in the middle-earth legends, and it is probably at the level of a phoenix subspecies like Qingluan, but it is also a great bird in Western mythology. , but the Jefferson family has been able to find other uses for this thing for more than ten years, and even neither physics nor high temperature can destroy the eggshell in the slightest.

Xie Zihao, however, took a quick look, and probably knew that this thing was the best refining material, and it belonged to the treasures of heaven, material and earth.

It's just that it can't be dealt with by secular means. It needs spiritual power to work on the eggshell fragments, and it also needs a very high level of spiritual power.

"It's no wonder that Jefferson can't use this thing. It's really that their extraordinary power has been inferior to each generation after the first ancestor left, and they rarely pull their hips."

When Xie Zihao himself was only innately cultivated, his strength far surpassed that of ordinary B-levels, and he had the authority and power bestowed by cheats. What's more, he is now a Taoist monk. Of course, there is no problem in dealing with this eggshell fragment.

It's just that he is going to take it to the eagle egg to see if it can hatch, and then try to use it as a refining device.

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

Mrs. Garcia even sighed:

"Phoenix! Although some people have seen traces of phoenix, the most recent record is more than 100 years ago, a Bavarian farmer in the middle of the [-]th century. But phoenix eggshells are rarely handed down. Legend has it that this Divine birds have the habit of eating their own eggshells, so the closest record about phoenix eggshells is the notes of an alchemist in the seventeenth century, which recorded the efficacy of this eggshell."

Xie Zihao immediately asked a question.

"Ma'am, do you know the efficacy of phoenix eggshells?"

Mrs. Garcia did not hide either.

"I know a little bit, it is said that the eggshell of the phoenix is ​​one of the materials for refining artifacts, but there is no successful example in the history of mortal refining artifacts, and the eggshells of the phoenix can also be used as one of the main materials for the panacea , but this statement is too illusory."

Xie Zihao was thoughtful after hearing this.

He has heard of the panacea, which is a miraculous magical panacea comparable to the Philosopher's Stone in Western legends, because it can cure all injuries and diseases, including disabilities, and it will give people longevity after taking it. It is called the medicine of immortality.

However, Xie Zihao also thinks that this usage is not very reliable. Either there will be some serious defects after taking this panacea, or it is extremely difficult to refine, and there is almost no possibility of success. Otherwise, those people will gain longevity Is it that easy to not die?

On the contrary, it is more reliable for him to use it as an artifact material.

And it just so happened that the magical artifacts in his hand should also be strengthened. The Magical Artifact of Reversing the Five Clouds Misty Immortal Barrier, which was originally used for emergency, was promoted to a magical weapon first, but his two natal magical artifacts were still in the state. In the process of evolution!
……

One is a phoenix eggshell, and the other is a crystal skull. This time, I have gained a lot. The smile on Xie Zihao's face did not disappear 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 take out a big egg from the quiet room.

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

"What is this? Is it delicious?"

As for Xie Zihao's cooking skills, she was already deeply conquered 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!"

"Egg? The egg of some bird?"

Melinda also heard what that woman Sonia said, so of course she knew that Xie Zihao probably planned to try to use the phoenix's eggshell fragments to hatch the egg.

"Temporarily keep it secret, you will know when the hatching is successful!"

Xie Zihao didn't answer directly, but made a fool of himself.

Looking at the eagle egg in his hand, it has not moved at all. If he could not sense the faint breath of life inside, he would have thought it was a dead egg!
But when he brought the phoenix eggshell fragment close to the surface of the eagle egg, the egg gave out a faint trembling, but it reacted to the eggshell fragment.

There is a play!

Xie Zihao said with a smile on his face:

"It seems that the Jefferson family used ordinary birds for experiments, and this egg of mine has a special origin, so when it encounters a phoenix eggshell, it reacts. The next step is to wait for when it will hatch..."

Melinda is also curious about things like hatching eggs, which reminds her of going to her grandfather's farm to watch hatching chicks when she was a child. Children are very interested in this magical process of breeding life.

Melinda also personally made a bird's nest for the egg with cotton and cushions, and put the egg and phoenix eggshell fragments in it.

Xie Zihao also understood this psychology.

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

Later, his grandfather really bought it for him. At that time, he devoted himself to taking care of the little chickens. During that time, the first thing he did after school every day was to dig earthworms, catch worms and pick grass seeds. In the end, the little chickens survived for four years. They raised the chicks until they were half-grown. They looked like healthy chickens with smooth coats, and then they were sold to an aunt who took them back to the countryside to raise them.

Of course, it wasn't forced by my grandfather, but he sold it on his own initiative. Although he was very reluctant, but with the money he got and the lucky money he had saved for several years, he bought a sweater as a gift on his grandfather's 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 a mature man, Xie Zihao still has a feeling of anticipation in his heart.

And this eagle egg, which had been silent for a long time, did not make Xie Zihao wait any longer. Every ten minutes, he could feel that the breath of life inside had increased a little more than before. At night, Xie Zihao felt that the egg had already grown. There were no signs of hatching, so the two of them stayed guarding the eggs without sleeping.

It wasn't until dawn that the eagle egg finally shook, and then a hole was opened on it, and a relatively immature beak protruded from it.
