Episode 73

  Night falls, the bright moon is in the sky, and occasionally a few cicada sounds accompany the quiet and peaceful night. The creek winds its way, with a faint scent of grass in the air. Such a beautiful scene was suddenly broken by several black figures.

  "Rainbow Cat, are you sure?"

  "Ding dang, you can rest assured."

  Ding Dang sat in front of the window, propping up his cheek with his hand, staring at the bright moon in a daze, with a faint worry in his heart. Would Rainbow Cat and the others really succeed?

  The lights in the house were shining brightly, and the elder held incense in his hand, standing in front of the portraits in the main hall, bowing and sighing. He spoke slowly: "Zi Xiao has been fortunate enough to receive the love of all our ancestors and become the elder of Fenghuang Island. In those days, Zi Xiao had made a vow to dedicate his life to protecting Fenghuang Island, but today the island's rules set by our ancestors have been desecrated, bringing shame to Fenghuang Island... I am ashamed."

  Tomorrow will be the most critical moment, and Ci Xiao must do his best to maintain the island's rules, so that all ancestors can rest in peace under the nine springs. I hope all ancestors bless us..." After finishing speaking, the elder clasped his hands together, bowed several times, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

  After finishing washing up in the inner chamber, the elder blew out the candle and went to bed. The incense was still burning, but for just an instant it shone a bit brighter, then dimmed again...

  The temperature in the room seemed to have risen a bit, and the elder, in his daze, seemed to hear someone calling out his name: "Zi Xiao". He slowly opened his eyes, feeling that the hall was slightly brighter, and as if possessed by a demon, he got out of bed and walked towards the hall.

  On the second day, just as the sky was getting light, the elder was already dressed and had a red glow on his face, looking serious and solemn. When it got brighter, he gathered everyone together, this time without waiting for Xiong Youcai to speak, the elder pulled out a scroll from his sleeve.

  As the crowd gradually arrived and quieted down, he slowly unrolled the scroll and said word by word: "Last night, our ancestors appeared in the outer hall of my house to instruct us that Phoenix Island is facing difficulties." After finishing speaking, he straightened his waist and began to read the contents of the scroll: We know that Phoenix Island is facing difficulties, all of which originate from the island rules. Several years ago, we established the island rules in order to make the people on the island abide by their duties and make it a happy land.

  After a long time, the past things should follow the natural course, whether it is gone or preserved, as long as the people on the island live in peace and prosperity. Later generations should remember that everything is based on the people, and must not act arbitrarily, wishing Phoenix Island to prosper forever.

  After reading this passage, everyone fell silent. Had the ancestors really appeared? The elder would never fabricate anything out of thin air, so it seemed to be true. Gradually, some islanders began to waver. Xiong Youcai tactfully walked up to the elder and said respectfully, "Elder, may I take a look at the contents of the scroll?" The elder was somewhat displeased: "How could you suspect me of fabricating it?"

  Xiong Youcai replied, "Of course not, I just want to confirm it, so as not to be deceived by someone. If this is someone's trick, wouldn't we all be fooled?" As he spoke, Xiong Youcai's eyes seemed to unintentionally sweep over Dingdang and the others. The elder impatiently waved his hand and handed the scroll to him. Xiong Youcai confidently took it and carefully examined the scroll, his face growing paler as he read on. Finally, he almost uncontrollably shouted out: "How is this possible!" Why did even the handwriting look exactly the same as that time in the Totem Great Hall? Could it be... Xiong Youcai shook his head incredulously, pointing at Hongmao and the others: "It must be you! You must have tampered with it! How could there possibly be a phenomenon of spirit manifestation!" Hongmao replied calmly: "Even if the scroll can be forged, what about the handwriting? No matter how well someone imitates it, the handwriting cannot be made exactly the same in such a short period of time."

  "You dare to utter such disrespect?!" The elder's tone was somewhat angry, and he couldn't help but rebuke: "How audacious! You're looking down on your ancestors!" Xiong Jianqiang saw that the situation was not good and hastily walked over to Xiong Youcai's side, saying: "Father, now is not a good time, let's discuss this further." Xiong Youcai saw the looks of the elder and the crowd, knowing he had failed, thought to himself that he would never forgive Feng Huang Wu Guan in the future, and with a hateful glare at Hong Mao and the others, turned and left.

  The elder put away the scroll and stepped up to the high platform, proclaiming loudly: "I declare that from now on, the women of Phoenix Island are no longer forbidden from practicing martial arts! However, remember that you must not use your martial arts to bully others, and maintain the good reputation of Phoenix Island!" "That's great! I can finally practice openly and honestly!" Shu'er exclaimed excitedly when she heard this. Tingdang beside her also revealed a smile due to joy.

  Blue Rabbit smiled and said, "Dingdang, congratulations to you!" Dingdang excitedly nodded and said, "Blue Rabbit, thank you!" The elder's announcement seemed to have lifted the long-standing constraints on Phoenix Island, and at this moment, Phoenix Island was immersed in joy...

  In the afternoon, everyone had a rich lunch. Dingdang and Xiaoli kept asking Hongmao about the process. Hongmao originally wanted to go to the beach to retrieve the Long Rainbow Sword, but seeing Dingdang and Xiaoli's eager faces, she could only push it to Tiao Tiao.

  As for how to get to the beach, of course, it's by riding on Gulu. However, that little guy isn't so easy to talk to, if it weren't for Tiao Tiao enduring the pain and sharing chicken legs with Gulu, Jumping Bean would not have compromised and let them ride on his back during their storytelling process.

  Tiao Tiao's storytelling was vivid, and she told the story of Ding Dang with such enthusiasm that even Leng Tian listened intently, occasionally revealing a look of surprise on his face.

  Actually, there's no special trick to it; just let Tiantian sprinkle the Xiangxiang incense on the elder's incense burner. After the elder inhales a small amount, he'll start hallucinating, and since his mind was already somewhat unclear at the time, it's easy to get him hooked.

  At this time, Tiao Tiao pretended to be the ancestor's spirit, and Jumping Jack took a few tiles from the roof, allowing moonlight to seep into the house. Then he handed over the previously prepared scroll to the elder.

  As for why the handwriting inside is exactly the same, it's true that originally, it would be impossible to imitate someone's handwriting in a short amount of time. However, Rainbow Cat managed to do just that. In fact, he had only seen it once, and his memory wasn't very deep, so he was also taking a gamble. As for Xiong Youcai, originally he too had only seen it once, and the impression probably wasn't very deep either. Adding on the tension at the time, this became the key to Rainbow Cat's victory.

  On the beach, Rainbow Cat dug out the long-sealed Long Rainbow Sword. Opening the box cover, a red light burst into the sky, and Rainbow Cat took out the long-unseen Long Rainbow Sword, stroking it gently, saying softly: "Brother, I've come to invite you to come out of the mountain!" Behind him, Blue Rabbit looked at Rainbow Cat with a warm smile.

  Blue Rabbit walked over, took out the Frost Sword and put it on his back, seemingly returning to the time when he wielded the sword. In the past, when Rainbow Cat sealed away the Long Rainbow Sword, she had buried the Long Rainbow Frost in a place to protect the Frost Sword. On the day that Long Rainbow left the mountain, it was also the day that the Frost awakened. As if sensing a familiar aura, the Long Rainbow Frost emitted an unusual glow under the sunlight...

  Back at the inn, Dingdang seemed to still be basking in joy when he saw Hongmao and Lantou return. He hastily approached them and said: "Hongmao, Lantou, your swords are back! Can I take a look?" The two nodded and took off their swords to hand over. Just as Dingdang was about to receive the sword, it seemed that years of training had honed his instincts, Hongmao felt a sudden gust of danger approaching, and subconsciously pushed

  With a clang, he grabbed the blue rabbit and flashed to the other side. A piece of paper was inserted into the ground, the blue rabbit turned its head towards that direction, but there was no one in sight.

  Rainbow Cat's eyes sank, and she walked over to pull out the paper from the ground. On it were written a few lines: "Seven days later, at Tianmen Mountain, there is still an unfinished war between you and me." Rainbow Cat clenched the paper in her palm, using her internal energy to shatter it into powder. Her fist tightened further, Black Little Tiger...

  Lan Tu naturally also saw the contents of the letter, but now she didn't know what kind of mood to use to deal with it. However, there was one thing - as long as Hei Xiao Hu dared to harm any of them, she wouldn't show mercy either.
