Only I, a big orange, can't cultivate immortality

Chapter 40 Flames

In mid-December, under Wang Yunli's relief and Jiang Shuke's bitter hatred, the year-end graduation assessment came quickly. m.

The assessment lasted for three days.

Recitation and dictation of important chapters are tested on the first day.

Interpretation and extension of famous essays on the second day.

The last day of policy theory.

Policy theory.

policy theory.

When Cheng Zi heard about this assessment project, he was even more surprised than Jiang Shuke.

As far as he knows, policy theory is an important part of the imperial examination, and it is also one of the most difficult parts.

And Jiang Shuke was eleven or twelve-year-old children this time, and Wang Yunli, the youngest, was only nine years old. In Cheng Zi's previous life, they were all elementary school students.

Let elementary school students discuss the political issues of the current dynasty and offer advice to the court... Seriously?

Moreover, Yinyu Town is full of practitioners, and the descendants of practitioners are naturally small practitioners, and they may not intersect with the secular world in the future.Who was the policy written for?To Yunshangfu?

Cheng Zi was lying on the porch, squinting his eyes against the evening wind, his ears were blown to one side, with a confused look on his face.

The sky at dusk was gloomy, the last ray of afterglow hid in the clouds, and the cold wind rolled up the snow particles under the clouds, whizzing and blowing the sky and the earth.

Jiang Shuke was so noisy in the room that he couldn't read the book, so he simply ran to the corridor with the book, sat cross-legged beside Cheng Zi, and flipped the pages casually, not knowing if he read it or not.

Cheng Zi turned to look at him: "Meow?"

Jiang Shuke rubbed his wobbly ears, and said in a relaxed tone: "Tomorrow's assessment, Cheng Zi, you can go with me. You are lucky, and you will surely bless me to pass smoothly. Maybe you can even get a good score!"

The corner of Cheng Zi's mouth twitched, and his paws pressed the back of his hand to the ground, solemnly: "Meow meow!"

Young people, you need to be strong to forge iron. You, the second generation of immortals from the cultivation world, should be very clear that metaphysics is useless in this kind of matter!

That's what he said, but Cheng Zi couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he remembered that he had frantically turned the koi to the colorful spiral aperture before the exam in his previous life.

Then his voice got louder: "Meow!"

Work hard!juvenile!

Jiang Shuke rubbed the tip of his nose: "Metaphysics... The main point is that sincerity leads to spirit. You see, my classmate Wang's blacksmithing skills are hard enough? He will have an exam tomorrow, so why don't he go to Fenghuang Forest to ask for the 'everything goes smoothly' amulet to wear?" gone?"

"Well?"

Cheng Zi tilted his head in surprise and doubt.

What?Wang Yunli still believes this?

Wait, where is Phoenix Forest?Is there a forest with this name in Yinyu Town?

"Oh, I forgot that you've only been here for more than two years, and it didn't catch up with the opening of the Phoenix Forest last time."

Jiang Shuke could be considered to have found a reason to put down the book, so he put the book aside casually, carried Cheng Zi into his arms with his front paws, and burrowed his cold hands into his thick hair to keep warm.

Cheng Zi pursed her lips, curled up obediently and used it as a hand warmer for him, and then meowed to urge him to speak quickly.

Jiang Shuke cleared his throat and began to introduce Fenghuanglin.

"We are in the south of Yinyu Town - there is a hillside in the southernmost part, which is usually blocked by an enchantment, and it only opens once every three years. There is a phoenix tree forest on the mountain, in which lives the real boss of our Yinyu Town, who is of the same generation as my father , but one rank higher, we all call him Boss Feng."

"He is the last pure-blooded phoenix in the world, so that forest is also called Phoenix Forest."

"Ugh..."

Cheng Zi was dumbfounded, and subconsciously wanted to let out a "huh" exclamation, but because of the problem with his vocal cords, it was prolonged and turned into an exclamation of surprise.

At this time, a gust of wind blew by, which happened to harmonize him.

Jiang Shuke: "Hahahaha, Cheng Zi, your reaction is so funny!"

Cheng Zi bent his front paws and covered his face in embarrassment: "Meow meow..."

Then what about going to Phoenix Forest to seek the "everything goes well"?Phoenix is ​​not a land only, but also responsible for fulfilling people's wishes?

"Of course not. Boss Feng doesn't care about these things. He sleeps most of the time."

Jiang Shuke lowered his head and rubbed against the orange, and was so tickled that he scratched his face again: "It's just that as the last phoenix, boss Feng has his own monstrous luck--it's very lucky to speak human words. Every three years when the enchantment is opened, hidden Every household in Yuzhen will take the talisman and go to the Phoenix Forest to bake it with the Phoenix Flame, to rub their luck. In this way, everything will go smoothly throughout the coming year."

"Wow meow."

So the talisman that has been baked by the phoenix flame is called the talisman of everything going well.

Cheng Zi draws inferences from one instance.

"Yes, that's what it means." Jiang Shuke pursed his lips and smiled.

As soon as the words fell, Liu Niangzi, who was burning the kang in the house, suddenly opened the window, and said with her head: "Ake, take the oranges to the Phoenix Forest to ask for amulets! Tomorrow's year-end assessment, you can take it with you when you ask for it, and you can pick it up after three days." Come out and stick it on the door!"

"Know it!"

Jiang Shuke raised his voice to agree, and Cheng Zi winked.

Cheng Zi grinned, jumped into his arms and nestled down, and one cat and one person opened their umbrellas and headed towards Phoenix Forest.

The wind and snow in the deep winter were harsh, Jiang Shuke held up a large oilcloth umbrella, and kept the cold outside firmly, leaving only the gentle breeze, blowing the two tufts of fluff on the tips of Cheng Zi's ears fluttering lightly, like golden flames.

Stepping on the thin snow, Jiang Shuke trotted all the way, and soon reached the southernmost part of the town.

Cheng Zi looked up, and saw that the original open space was now covered by a softly curved hillside. The hill was thickly shaded and green, and when the wind passed by, there was a rustling sound. Snow does not stick.

This is Phoenix Forest.

"The phoenix flame has already risen, and it will probably last for three days."

Jiang Shuke quickened his pace and rushed into the forest: "In three days, Boss Feng will fall asleep again, and the barrier will be closed again."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran into the woods, surrounded by dense green leaves immediately.

The air was full of warm and humid atmosphere, as if returning to spring, Cheng Zi took a deep breath, and the faint fragrance of grass and trees flooded into his nostrils instantly, washing away the dust in his body.

He narrowed his eyes comfortably, looked down at the fallen leaves and dust all over the ground, jumped off the ground, and followed Jiang Shuke with the tip of his tail hanging down.

"what……"

Jiang Shuke walked forward slowly, looked around, but couldn't find the location of Phoenix Flame: "The location of Phoenix Flame is changing every time, I don't know where it has changed this year, I would have asked classmate Wang before I knew it. ...Huh? Where are you going, Orange?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw Cheng Zi running to the east, his figure was like an arrow flying from the string, he had never seen his cat run so fast before.

Before he could think about it, Jiang Shuke followed quickly, one person and one cat almost rushed to the area with sparse branches and leaves in the east of the forest, and a gray-green lake reflecting the color of sky and clouds came into view.

Cheng Zi stopped running by the lake, stepped on the broken sand by the lake, and sniffed it. After a while, he dug out a small hole next to a cluster of daylilies, and orange-red flames shot out from it.

"Meow!"

smell good!

Cheng Zi leaned closer to the flame, the tip of his nose fluttered, and the strong fragrance of grass and trees that he could smell as soon as he entered the forest filled his airpipe, making him shake his head intoxicated.

It turns out that the fragrance does not come from the wood itself, but from this flame!

Jiang Shuke saw Cheng Zi dig out a cluster of phoenix flames from the ground with his own eyes, and he was dumbfounded.

ah?Didn't the phoenix flame directly burn up a big lump somewhere?How can it be dug out of the soil?

Could it be that Boss Feng usually sleeps in the soil?

Ah this...

"Meow meow meow!"

Jiang Shuke was in a daze when he heard Cheng Zi's voice calling him to go over.

"Oh, come here!"

Jiang Shuke came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and quickly ran forward and squatted down, looking at the flame that was burning quietly in the soil and swaying gently in the wind, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

It's really Phoenix Flame...

"Meow meow!"

Cheng Zi patted Jiang Shuke's arm, signaling him to quickly take out the talisman and dry it.

Jiang Shuke quickly followed suit, placing the triangular talisman on top of the phoenix flame, turning it over and moving it carefully, making sure that the heat of the flame penetrated into every corner of the talisman, and baked it until it was a little hot, before carefully taking it back and putting it in his pocket. inside.

Cheng Zi squatted next to the flame, inhaling the aroma while watching him busy, feeling inexplicably squatting by the side of the barbecue stall waiting for dinner.

However, the fragrance of Phoenix Flame is much more exciting than barbecue.

Well, it's also more exciting than catnip.

"That's fine."

Putting the triangular talisman against his heart, Jiang Shuke patted his chest, and asked curiously: "Chengzi, how did you find out that there is a Phoenix flame here?"

Cheng Zi raised his hind paw to scratch his ear, and told him that he could smell the Phoenix Flame.

He thought he would be surprised that the flame had a fragrance, but he didn't expect that he was on the first floor, so he went directly to the stratosphere, rubbed his hands and asked with a smile: "Then... is there any other place where the Phoenix Flame exists? "

Cheng Zi tilted his head, although he didn't understand what he wanted to do, he still closed his eyes and sniffed seriously.

After a while, there were two small pits and two clusters of phoenix flames by the lake, and two things appeared on the fireworks, one was Jiang Shuke's hand, and the other was Jiang Shuke's——

Head.

"The exam is mainly about using the hands and the brain. As long as I improve the luck of these two parts, won't I be able to reach the highest level of the exam where everyone will be correct?"

Jiang Shuke speaks plausibly.

If it weren't for the fact that a phoenix flame can only "bless" once, he would have done so long ago.

Cheng Zi shrank his neck back, and Mao Mao clasped his fists to show respect.

You are really talented in TN.jpg

While Jiang Shuke stretched his big head and washed his hair with Phoenix Flame, Cheng Zi bent his claws to support his chin, seriously thought about the more cost-effective way to use Phoenix Flame, and began to solve problems in his head.

It is known that the phoenix flame comes from Boss Feng, and it is contaminated with Boss Feng's luck, which can give luck to the residents of Yinyu Town.

I also know that Phoenix Flame's lucky blessing can only be applied to one item once, but there is no limit to how often.

It can be obtained that Phoenix Flame may be able to bless the same item multiple times in different time periods.

Solve the answer: Carrying the Phoenix Flame home is the most cost-effective way!

Logical and rigorous.

Just do it!

Cheng Zi clenched his small fist and patted Jiang Shuke who was still "washing his hair".

When he looked over, Cheng Zi said, "Meow meow meow!"

Brother, shall we dig a cluster of Phoenix flames and go back?

What?What do you ask me to use as a carrier?

I heard that the phoenix lives on the sycamore tree, how about we pick a sycamore branch and try it?

Looking at the little round face of his cat, who was looking forward to and eager to try, Jiang Shuke: "..."

Some cats seem to be in the first layer, but they have actually reached the atmosphere.

……

Late at night, the wind and snow became more and more severe. Lady Liu was a little worried about Cheng Zi and Jiang Shuke, so she stood on the porch and kept looking out.

Uncle Jiang came out of the house, put a thick fleece on her, and said, "Don't worry, they will be back soon."

Hearing what he said, Miss Liu felt relieved.

At this time, the door of the courtyard was pushed open, and Jiang Shuke, holding a large butter cloth umbrella with one hand, rushed down the corridor quickly, put the umbrella aside, and rubbed Cheng Zi on his shoulder with one hand behind his back.

Cheng Zi rubbed back, then stretched out her paws to Mrs. Liu begging for a hug: "Meow—"

Lady Liu immediately hugged him and asked her son casually: "Ake, have you finished the talisman?"

Jiang Shuke showed a naive smile: "It's done, but there was an accident in the middle."

Lady Liu raised her eyebrows: "Did you lose the talisman?"

Jiang Shuke pursed his lips, exchanged a look with Cheng Zi, then stretched out his hands behind his back, revealing the three sycamore branches decorated with orange-red flames:

"We brought back Phoenix Flame!"

"Meow!"

Cheng Zi raised his two front paws and happily met Jiang Shuke's.

Lady Liu: "..."

Uncle Jiang: "..."

In the Phoenix Forest, I went to the Law Enforcement Hall to pay compensation and returned to the lakeside, only to find that the flame I was going to use to heat the lake into a hot spring had disappeared. The boy in red:

"..."
