12 12. BowBow

Feng Lan felt excited on top of the griffin. It was fast and felt like flying in the air. The griffin took them to the inner chamber and stopped near the middle. Feng Lan looked back and saw the door closing automatically.

"The door is closed. What should we do?". Wei Song tugged on her sleeves, "The back is not important. The front is.", said in an awestruck voice.

Feng Lan saw that they were in a small dark chamber, with a single small lamp dot that is shining and floating by itself lighting up the room. It was inconspicuous by itself since it was in front of a huge door.

Feng Lan got down and walked towards the door. She saw that the door was not attached to anything and it just stood there, and she could see the space at the back of the door. The door was decorated with patterns just like on the griffin.

'Who is so stupid to have a door without a room? Are people mad or do they have different aesthetic sense in this continent?'

"Wei Song is this a decoration?"

Wei Song gave her a unbelievable look, "LanLan, How can you be blasphemous? Do you know what that is? That is a dimensional transporter by the looks of it and a pretty powerful one too. It can take us to higher planes. Do you know how many cultivators will give their lives to even get a peek at it. I am not sure how you are both intelligent but doesn't understand basic cultivator stuff"

"Yes, isn't she a country bumpkin?"

"Yah, she is and also too hardcore. When does she ever…wait…who just agreed with me?"

Feng Lan and Wei Song looked at each other. Then they looked at the griffin.

"Did you just speak?"

Then the griffin just looked at them as though looking at idiots, "Then who else is there?"

Wei Song jumped and stood behind Feng Lan. Feng Lan found that it was as surprising for Wei Song as for her when the griffin spoke.

Feng Lan inquired, "Aren't griffins not supposed to speak?"

Wei Song contemplated on all the references of griffin by his mother, "The normal ones in our continent dont. And I have never heard my mother mentioning that the guardian beast of The Phoenix Hall can speak. I also heard from my mother about the ones in higher planes may speak. But I think it's rare there also." And looked at the griffin deferentially, "Exalted one, are you from above?"

"Yes, I am. I am the heir of one of the most exalted bloodlines serving the Gods forever and ever. Its your honor to meet such a one as me."

Feng Lan just stood there observing this drama and she wanted to laugh at its answer Song became more reverent," Exalted one, who are you? Why did you bring us here? We are just common people who came to cultivate."

The horse griffin solemnly said, "I am BowBow. I have a divine purpose…" Before the horse griffin can continue, Feng Lan started laughing at it. She mumbled, "What a cute name…" and started laughing again.

Wei Song shhed her and looked apologetically at the exalted Griffin 'BowBow', who snorted and turned around showing his back.

Feng Lan laughed more and she would have fallen down if Wei Song hadn't hold her. She started scratching its head, while it tried to move away. She tried to cajole it, "Be a good boy, BowBow. Then I will give nice stuff to eat."

BowBow looked suspiciously while Feng Lan smiled and magically produced an apple. She was saving it for the time while Wei Song was practicing inside the inner sanctum.

BowBow instantly gobbled it. He tasted it, finding it agreeable," Seeing that the compensation is acceptable, this exalted one will forgive you once."

Feng Lan mischievously smiled still scratching it," Now my sweet BowBow, what is this apology among friends? See, in the future, I will give more yummy stuff? Now tell me about your divine purpose? And why is there a dimensional transporter?"

BowBow scrutinized Feng Lan while thinking whether she can take such a news," My purpose is to find the all powerful phoenix bloodlines, then conduct the blood trials and accompany the successor when they ascend. Phoenix bloodline like you", pointing at Feng Lan!
