Chapter 1 Saint and Sacrifice

In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, heavy snow falls on the world.

The north wind was like a knife, penetrating the dilapidated temple. Under the broken Buddha statue, a graceful figure in a purple dress looked at the little boy in ragged clothes huddled on the haystack and said to herself:

"The Yin-Yang Holy Body is the legendary ultimate cauldron. No matter how poor the qualifications are, the person who can obtain it can still become a person who can reach heaven. It has been hundreds of years, and I have finally found it!"

The woman in the purple skirt is naturally charming and captivating, yet her movements are dignified and elegant, which is beyond words.

Her name is Feng Qiu Shuang, and she is the great elder of the Phoenix clan. For many years, she has traveled between the human and demon worlds, just to find the Yin and Yang Holy Body to help the Lord of the Phoenix clan escape from trouble.

Feng Qiu Shuang squatted down, her plump buttocks were like a full moon, and her curvy figure was fully displayed. She gently took the little boy into her arms and hugged her:

"Little guy, fortunately you are fine. If I miss you, I don't know how many more years I will have to search for in this world."

The magnetic mature female voice woke up the sleeping little boy. He slowly opened his eyes, unconsciously reached out to touch the woman's face, and said weakly:

"So cold, so hungry...Grandpa, you finally came to pick up Junlin..."

Before he finished speaking, the little boy closed his eyes again. The little hand that had not touched the woman's face fell weakly, and happened to rest on the top of the upright Jade Peak.

Feng Qiu Shuang's delicate body trembled, her cheeks were slightly red, she hugged the little boy who was feeling cold and walked out.

The small town not far away was brightly lit, families were reunited, and it was bustling. No one would have thought that a skinny child might freeze to death or starve to death silently tonight.

Two completely different scenes impacted Feng Qiu Shuang's mind. A look of pity flashed in her eyes, and she could not bear it. She had the urge to take care of the little boy for the rest of his life, so that he would have no worries about food and clothing.

At the entrance of the temple, a woman in a purple skirt stood there for a long time, her expression gradually resolute, as if she had made some determination:

"Sorry, I have to do this for the Phoenix Clan!"

…

"I didn't expect that this little guy with a face as black as a briquette would look so polished after being washed."

"Sister, what are you talking about? He's not a young man, and he has a lot of money. I don't know which girl can bear it when she grows up."

Two beautiful-looking women dressed as maids rubbed their bodies for the little boy in the barrel, joking and teasing from time to time.

Gu Junlin lowered his head, covered his eyes with his bangs, and leaned against the inside of the barrel, shivering. When he woke up, he found two pretty women groping at him. He didn't know what was going on. Where were they? Didn't he sleep in the temple?

"Oh, my little brother is so shy. He's so cute."

The older maid looked excited: "If you are wise, quickly pout your lips and let me kiss you!"

"Sister is so cunning, I want to kiss her too!" My sister huffed and was very dissatisfied.

"Hee hee, take your turn." My sister took the lead and took the lead in smacking Gu Junlin's little mouth.

"I want it too, I want it too!" The younger sister pushed her sister away, held the little boy's face in her hands, and was about to lean over when she heard a creak from behind her.

A white-haired girl who was about ten years old and had just begun to show her beauty pushed open the door and entered.

She looked at her sister. Under the silver eyelashes, a pair of golden pupils showed inexplicable majesty and indifference:

"Elder Qiu Shuang said that the sacrifices presented to the Lord of the Phoenix Clan must be spotless. You just made them dirty with your mouth." The two sisters looked embarrassed. They didn't expect Her Highness the Saint to be so serious. Even kissing her mouth would not work. They are not dirty. !

The white-haired girl calmly looked away, walked to the wooden bucket, dipped her jade hands into water drops, wiped Gu Junlin's mouth hard, and said lightly:

"Put on some clothes and follow me."

Gu Junlin glanced at her timidly and huddled in the water without making any movement.

This girl was cold and hard to get along with at first sight. He would rather stay with two female hooligans.

Seeing this, my sister quickly said: "Your Highness, this child is shy. Please go outside and wait for a while. My slave will change his clothes right now."

The white-haired girl turned and left, her hair flying and her white skirt swaying: "Hurry up, the festival is about to start."

After the saint left, the two sisters quickly pulled Gu Junlin out of the bucket, took down the towel hanging on the side, squatted on the ground, and wiped off the remaining water drops on his body one after another.

Gu Junlin blushed and asked, "Sister, who are you? Why am I here?"

"This is the ancestral land of the Phoenix clan." The sister squatting in front said while wiping, "You were brought back by the great elder as a sacrifice to the Phoenix Lord."

"Phoenix? Are they monsters?" Gu Junlin was a little scared.

"What will happen if you become a sacrifice? Will you be eaten?" Gu Junlin asked.

"Your Highness, the servant has finished dressing him." The two women did not answer, opened the door and pushed him out.

The white-haired girl looked back and saw that Gu Junlin, who was dressed in fine clothes, had a natural temperament, as if he was a noble young master, and there was no trace of the filth and embarrassment he had before.

"Follow closely." The white-haired girl looked cold and stepped forward on the floor with her embroidered white shoes.

Watching Gu Junlin leave, her sister sighed: "Thousands of years ago, the Phoenix Lord was suppressed in a mysterious small world by the human empress. It is said that this child has a special physique and his original power is the key to the Phoenix Lord's return to the world."

The younger sister sighed: "The origin has been taken away, and there is no chance of life. It's a pity. Such a cute little brother still wants to play for a while longer..."

the other side.

Under the moonlight, the girl in white walked lightly, like the wind, and Gu Junlin kept trotting before he could barely keep up.

After a while, he put his hands on his knees and panted: "Wait... wait for me."

The white-haired girl who looked extremely indifferent stopped but did not speak.

Gu Junlin quickly ran to her side, scratched his head, and said sheepishly: "Sister Saint, I'm so hungry that I have no energy..."

The white-haired girl was startled for a moment, then her tone softened: "We're here, there's something to eat."

"Yeah, yeah." Gu Junlin swallowed his saliva and nodded vigorously.

After the small episode, the white-haired girl deliberately slowed down along the way.

The two walked through the aisles and finally came to a magnificent palace.

The white-haired girl pointed to the tributes under the stone carvings: "You can't touch those. You can eat the rest as you like."

Gu Junlin picked up a fragrant golden noodle cake nearby and started to nibble on it.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that the white-haired girl didn't care, and was sincerely asking him to eat. He was already hungry, and after a few mouthfuls, he started to devour the food without any image.

"Ahem..." Gu Junlin ate too fast and choked. He coughed violently and his face turned red.

The white-haired girl conjured a kettle out of nowhere and handed it to him: "Slow down, there is no one here to compete with you."

Gu Junlin took it, unscrewed the lid of the pot, and poured water into his mouth.

Looking at the child who was extremely eager to drink water, the white-haired girl couldn't help but ask: "How long have you not eaten?"

"I don't know. Sometimes I can find some for myself, and sometimes others give me some, but most of the time I'm hungry."

The pot of water bottomed out in an instant. Gu Junlin recalled the bad past events, his face full of sadness:

"After my grandfather passed away, the house at home was occupied by a very fierce uncle with a scar face. He didn't give me food, beat me and told me to get out..."

Speaking of the sadness, Gu Junlin pouted aggrievedly: "When grandpa was here, the neighbors respected him, but after he left, no one helped me."

"When they see me, it's like seeing the god of plague. They all dislike me..."

"After that, I found an empty temple and lived there for several months, until today."

When the white-haired girl heard this, her eyes flashed slightly. She lowered her eyelids and her voice became gentle: "Where are your parents?"

Gu Junlin lowered his head and ate the noodles, his expression dark and unreadable:

"I have no parents. Grandpa said I came from the sky. He called me Junlin. My grandfather's surname is Gu, so my name is Gu Junlin."

A soft color flashed in the white-haired girl's eyes, and she felt a little more sympathy for this human child who had a painful life experience.

"Gu Junlin? It's a good name." A mature voice from a royal sister suddenly sounded outside the palace.

Gu Junlin put down the cake and looked up. He seemed to have heard this voice somewhere.

I saw a woman with gorgeous clothes, a long skirt covering her ankles, and a graceful figure walking calmly.

"Elder Qiu Shuang." The white-haired girl bowed and saluted.

As a saint of the Phoenix clan, her status is far more noble than ordinary elders, but Feng Qiu Shuang is not among them.

Thousands of years ago, during the war between the three realms, the Feng clan suffered heavy casualties. Now, Feng Qiu Shuang is the only one in the clan who has reached the pinnacle of the supreme realm!

If the leader of the Phoenix Clan remains sealed, until the saint girl grows up, she can exercise the authority of the clan leader in the name of the elder!

There are six realms in the path of spiritual practice. The first realm is to receive spirits, the second realm is to control spirits, the third realm is to transform spirits, the fourth realm is to enter the Tao, the fifth realm is to reach the sky, the sixth realm is supreme, each realm is divided into front, middle, back, and peak.
