Chapter 496: "Farewell to the Phoenix" (Part )
--Reality
Huo Huo’s live broadcast room.
The animation short film "Feng Gui Zai Farewell" officially begins——
The miHoYo logo appeared in the black screen, and then a dark room appeared on the screen.
The only light came from the red-hot sword on the forging table. Although it was not yet finished, its power could still be seen.
The forging hammer fell on the sword again and again.
With the faint red light, red eyes and a handsome face appeared in the picture.
It was Jun Bai.
[Brother Bai, are you forging iron? ]
[Speaking of swords, I think Brother Bai is currently forging the Chi Xiao, so the current timeline should be shortly after Brother Two's death.]
[Thank you for reminding me of the knife I had forgotten. I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat.]
Jun Bai remained silent, devoting himself to forging the long sword in his hand.
In the dark room, one cannot perceive the passage of time. Only the gradual formation of the Scarlet Sky Sword proves that time is passing.
Finally, the dark sword body gradually became brighter, and finally illuminated the entire forging room, shining with its own brilliance.
"receive."
Jun Bai let out a low shout, and the sword light flowed back to the long sword.
The blade is three feet long and the body of the sword is as red as fire. Even in the dark it flashes with a cold light. It is truly an unparalleled sword.
"Phew—it's done."
Jun Bai sighed, held up the sword with both hands, and said to himself:
"Red Shadow, Edgeless Sword, Light Sword, Broken Mountain..."
"Second brother, this sword is a fusion of all our weapons except the Chengxiao Sword. It is a weapon forged in memory of you."
"Use my Chiying and your Chengxiao to each take one character."
"Today, I give you the name, Chixiao." As he spoke, Jun Bai's fingertips fell on the hilt of the Chixiao sword.
A red-gold light flashed, and the words "Chixiao" appeared on the sword guard.
The young man smiled and picked up Chi Xiao, then reached out to try to grasp the hilt.
However, the moment he touched the hilt of the sword, a picture flashed through Jun Bai's mind.
That was the scene of Jun Moli and himself standing back to back, fighting together against the remnant of the Dream Demon.
But then, Jun Moli's figure disappeared behind Jun Bai, causing Jun Bai to be hit from the front and back.
Ding--
A crisp sound was heard, and Chi Xiao fell to the ground.
"This, this is..." Jun Bai looked at Chi Xiao blankly.
[This is a psychological shadow. ]
[When fighting with a sword, you cannot take care of your back, so when there is someone guarding behind you, you can fight as much as you want, but at this time there is no one behind you. ]
[Especially the symbolic meaning of Chi Xiao is the experience of Brother Bai and Brother Er fighting together, which is even more of a debuff.]
[Jun Bai can hold the sword without anyone guarding him, but he can never hold the Chi Xiao Sword tightly.]
Jun Bai squatted down and tried to grasp the hilt of the sword again.
But the image still comes to mind.
This time, he slashed at the Dream Demon with a long sword in hand, and the Five Yakshas stabbed his body from behind with their weapons.
Jun Bai could only hold up his weapon and said absentmindedly:
"I can't hold you tight now..."
"As long as I can't get over that hurdle in my heart, I will never be able to hold the sword in my hand as tightly as before..."
"Alas..." Jun Bai sighed and inserted Chi Xiao into the special scabbard, "You are a good sword."
"Cheng Xiao, follow your second brother. I am confident that you are now the best swordsman in the world."
"But I am not a swordsman worthy of you now."
"I'm sorry." Jun Bai said, and then he felt a slight tremor.
Looking closely, it turned out that Chi Xiao was trembling in the scabbard, making a sword chant, as if he was wailing.
[Is this what they call a magical weapon with spirit? ]
[Born with a sword spirit? It is indeed a magical weapon made by Brother Bai himself, it is really powerful! 】
[So Fengqi needs the elemental force of the demon god level to drive it, but Chixiao only needs to get started, because the sword spirit recognizes the master. ]
[For details, please refer to Cheng Xiao. As soon as the second brother left, Cheng Xiao Sword turned into scrap metal and followed the second brother to play the resurrection match.]
[Trivia: When the second brother won the resurrection match, he brought the Chengxiao Sword with him.]
Listening to Chi Xiao's wail, Jun Bai's eyes flickered.
But in the end, Jun Bai silently put away the Chi Xiao he had just forged and walked out of the forging room.
Outside the forge, was a worried mother.
Jun Bai and Bai Zhirou looked at each other in silence.
This silence continued until the dinner table that night.
Jun Bai and Bai Zhirou sat opposite each other, eating the food on the table in silence, their eyes a little red.
Two shadows emerged.
One of them was Jun Moli picking up food for his mother and younger brother.
One of them was Li Tonghui, who pushed the door open and came in to eat openly.
But in the end, both shadows disappeared into thin air.
[My mother-in-law is really pretty, has a good temperament, is gentle and playful, and is simply the most perfect mother image in my mind. ]
[You two are indeed mother and son. Even your sad expressions have a unique flavor.]
[Jun Moli: Don't be sad, I will win the resurrection match. ]
[Li Tonghui: Can you please not take me with you to this hellish lens language? I am traveling, not sending it.]
"I'm stuffed."
Jun Bai said as he took the bowl to the sink to wash it.
At this time, Bai Zhirou suddenly said with a trembling voice:
"Abai."
"You...you're leaving too, right?"
"...Mom, have my eldest and second brothers told you my identity?" Jun Bai asked.
"...I've said that before." Bai Zhirou forced a smile, "The kid I adopted was really amazing."
Jun Bai walked closer, hugged his mother and said in a deep voice:
"No matter who I am, you are my mother."
“This is the only thing that will never change.”
Bai Zhirou hugged Jun Bai back and said with a smile:
"You can do this at home, but be careful outside."
"You are the Fengdeng Demon God of Guiliji, a big shot who exists on the same level as the Emperor and King Chen. It would be bad if someone saw you."
"Mom, you don't want me anymore?"
Jun Bai put on an expression as if he was about to cry.
[Your little phoenix uses his secret skill: acting like a spoiled child.]
[Ah! This expression of Bai Ge is so cute, I want to rub it! ]
[I say, you people with your heads full of yellow garbage, don't you realize the seriousness of the problem now? ]
[I am too old to watch this, I will come back later. ]
Acting pitiful doesn't work in front of Bai Zhirou, but his mother recognizes her son's ambition and agrees to let Jun Bai leave.
No dissuasion, only blessings.
Jun Bai is going back to Liji to support Morax and send him to the throne of God so that the world can be at peace.
And Bai Zhirou also wants to leave this home.
"It just so happens that your grandpa is going to travel around to practice medicine. I can go with him. Don't look at your mother like this. I was also a famous doctor when I was young..."
She wants to save more people in this chaotic world.
"Mom can take care of herself, you don't have to worry about me, so you must take care of yourself."
"You are the only one I have."
"The demon god has a longer lifespan than my mother, so if possible..."
"After you leave tomorrow, you will forget about me. I don't want you to be sad because of me after I die."
Jun Bai, who was returning to his room, acted as if he didn't hear anything and walked forward without any hesitation.
Only a teardrop falling on the ground at night told the truth. Accompanied by the cry of a phoenix, Jun Bai left the nest called "home".
The voice in my heart sounded as the real phoenix in the picture flew away:
"Even if it will be painful in the future, I still don't want to forget that you are my mother. I will always remember you."
"And...if you want to travel around, I will clear all the obstacles ahead for you."
"I will definitely bring peace to Liyue!"
——Digression
Because it's a tractor, I may not be able to finish writing all three chapters of this section, so I'm giving you a heads up first.
