The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 372 The scepter is obtained
Ergou's method of dealing with his hands and tail is very simple, that is, destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces.

He cut down all the surface parts of the purple bamboo bush, and then used it as firewood to fill the bonfire.

In order not to make the fourth lady suspicious, Ergou actually poured the food into bamboo tubes, baked them into bamboo tubes and served them as rice, in order to confuse their ears and eyes.

It should be noted that bamboo rice not only has extremely high nutritional value, but also has a particularly fragrant taste. After being boiled, it tastes even better than glutinous rice. Even the Phoenix clan likes to eat it.

How could a person as greedy as the Fourth Lady refuse such exquisite delicacies?

After the first crop of bamboo rice grew, Ergou picked it, cooked it, and gave it to the Fourth Lady to eat.

The woman was "shocked" when she tasted it. She asked Ergou what kind of delicacy he made, so delicious and delicious, and said that she had never eaten such a wonderful thing.

If Ergou hadn't been quite capable of scrutinizing people's hearts, he might have truly believed the Fourth Lady's performance.

How could a heavenly being like her, who had had many dealings with the Phoenix clan, never experience the taste of practice.

The fourth lady pretended not to know the bamboo rice offered by Ergou. To put it bluntly, she just wanted to take the opportunity to eat two more meals.

But after all the purple bamboos in the valley bloomed, the fourth lady finally did not dare to continue to act stupid.

She and Ergou worked together to harvest more than three buckets, and then quickly rushed to the golden sycamore tree with the results.

The journey that originally took a day took them most of the day.

When the two of them returned to the golden sycamore tree with Lianshi out of breath, Erchufeng Twenty-seven, who had sent them on a mission, was surprised.

He flew gracefully over the heads of the two of them and asked: "Mother Wu Zhizhi, a son of the human race, why are you in such a hurry to return? But you want to give up taking the certificate of the covenant? You must know that you cannot take the staff without payment!"

The fourth lady raised the brocade bag containing the training materials and said: "Don't doubt it, Your Majesty, we have collected the training materials as agreed. The total amount is three dou, two liters and four pieces, and I would like to offer it to His Majesty Feng Huang as a reward for the two clans. Good friendship!”

When Feng Twenty-Qi heard this, his wings fluttered in shock and he almost fell from the air.

He couldn't help but said: "This is impossible! The purple bamboo forest will not bloom for another twenty-three years. How can you pick and practice it at this time?!"

The fourth lady felt guilty in her heart, but she showed no sign of weakness on her face and shouted: "What the Venerable said is strange! You have practiced three combats, and there are things to prove it! How dare you be suspicious!"

Feng Twenty-Qi stuck his head out in disbelief and opened his brocade bag to check the training. He didn't even care when his legs fell to the ground. He didn't seem to have the demeanor of the Phoenix clan.

The crown feathers on His head shook three times, and he shouted repeatedly: "Impossible! Impossible! This is impossible! The bamboos in the four directions are not mature yet, how can they be harvested and cultivated! The Holy Mother must not be deceived or lonely!"

The fourth lady didn't make much excuse, she just sneered and asked: "Feng Twenty-Qi, I just want to ask you, is this practice?"

Feng Twenty-Seven knocked two pills to test the authenticity, and then said: "This is true and true, but now there is no bamboo forest on Fengqi Star that has entered the flowering season, how can you come..."

Not waiting for Feng Twenty-Seven to finish speaking, the fourth lady interrupted: "As long as you admit that this is practice! Last time you asked for three fights of practice as a reward, but now that you have practiced hard, you will have more than three fights, which is enough." Ru Gong! Now, please hand over the Phoenix Scepter!”

Feng Twenty-Qi shook his head and said: "No! You have to tell me first where your three fighting exercises come from!"

The fourth lady shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, this is not what we agreed before! We only collected them for practice, but we didn't tell you where they came from! It's okay for you to know, but you have to give the right first. Hand over the staff and complete the agreement between us!"

"This..." Feng Twenty-Qi hesitated when he heard this.

The fourth lady smiled and said: "Why are you hesitating! We are all under the phoenix nest, and our life and death are controlled by you! Don't say that we have no evil intentions, but we are a little uncooperative. What do you have to fear? !”

Feng Twenty-Seven thought so. This is the core place of his eagle family. There are dozens of adult eagles sitting in Feng's nest. Not to mention only one celestial being and one human being, even if the evil master comes, don't even think about it. It’s good to be able to ask for it! Then something went wrong when he entrusted the Phoenix Scepter to him, and what big trouble could happen!

Making a plan in his mind, Feng Twenty-Seven immediately fluttered his wings with the well-dressed brocade bag in his mouth, floated gracefully to the top of the golden giant tree, circled around it for a few times, and immediately dropped into the largest cocoon-shaped phoenix nest on the canopy. among.

Not long after, Feng Twenty-Qi was seen poking his head out of the largest phoenix nest, holding a strange-shaped scepter under his claws.

Only when Feng Twenty-Qi approached and threw the scepter to the Fourth Lady did Ergou see the true appearance of the scepter.

The scepter is about three meters long, about the thickness of an average person's forearm, and is made of a strange material that looks like jade but not jade, and is as green as bamboo. The surface of the scepter is embossed with a phoenix pattern, which is a symbol of the five virtues in seal script. Two feet from the top of the scepter, a pair of phoenix wings stretch out; at the top of the scepter are the heads of a pair of phoenixes intertwined at the neck.

After the Fourth Lady took the Phoenix Scepter, she immediately handed it over to Ergou and said, "My lord, this belongs to you! If someone else takes it away, I won't care about it!"

Ergou took the scepter somewhat helplessly. After taking it, he felt that it was as light as a lamp grass and had no weight at all.

He asked with some uncertainty: "Is this done?"

The fourth lady smiled charmingly and said: "Of course, the reputation of the Phoenix clan is still very high. But don't be too happy, Mr. Phoenix. Phoenix is ​​greedy for treasures. There may be other chicks coming to snatch it away later. You have to be careful!"

Ergou understood immediately.

At this time, Feng Twenty-Qi said impatiently: "Our Lady of Wu Zhizhi, now that the proof of the covenant has been returned, it's time to tell Yu Gu Lianshi where she came from."

The Fourth Lady smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't ask, and I won't hide it either. In the valley in the south, in the purple bamboo forest, tens of thousands of bamboos are blooming, covering the ground. As for why those purple bamboos are blooming, we don't know either!"

Feng Twenty-Qi was furious and shouted: "Lie! How dare you deceive me?!"

The fourth lady smiled happily and said: "If you don't believe it, sir, just go to that place and you will know. The valley in the south is not far from here. It is a thousand miles away, and the venerable Xumi can reach it!"

Feng Twenty-seven saw that the fourth lady was speaking truthfully, and he also had some doubts in his heart. He immediately stood up, circled around the two of them and said, "I will go to the valley of the south to investigate. If I find that you are lying to me, I will definitely not do it." I'll forgive you! The proof of the covenant will be taken back!"

After saying that, the eagle chick soared into the sky and rushed towards the south at a very fast speed. It was as fast as a rocket flying through the sky, and it actually made a roar like a sonic boom.

Especially the phoenix feathers on the tail of the phoenix chicks swayed, creating a rainbow of light across the sky.

Ergou was looking up at the bird's flight in the sky, but the fourth lady beside him shouted in a low voice: "My husband is still standing there in a daze! Let's go! We can't escape until the other birds react!"

Ergou was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't ask any more questions, so he and the fourth lady ran away from where they came from.

The two of them didn't dare to walk through the treetops. They just shuttled through the forest. Naturally, they couldn't go any faster.

Before they had gone far, they heard a sonic boom-like roar in the sky, and then a harsh phoenix cry sounded in the distance.

Then there were more phoenix calls, like a flock of birds echoing each other.

More sonic booms sounded one after another, until Ergou and Fourth Lady, who were running away, did not dare to come out. They hid under a big tree and looked at each other.

Fortunately, the two waited for a long time, but no phoenix chick came to chase them.

It didn't dare to delay, and immediately climbed up the treetops and ran towards the portal of the webway as fast as possible.
