The long-lost phoenix

"I guessed it right" his lips grin wide, his voice full of joy. Not without reason why he brought her here. To confirm the doubts that plagued in his mind after witnessing the unusual events that occurred this morning.

Of course, only the reincarnation of the celestial bird itself could receive such treatment from the heavenly bird, the long-lost Phoenix.

No one knows where Phoenix disappeared to, why did she disappear? how did she disappear? Who is behind the disappearance of the phoenix? An elegant legendary bird, full of tenderness, full of love and care for anyone who needs her help.

And now the lost phoenix was in front of him, stunned and shocked not believing what she was seeing.

Hesitantly she turned her head to the Mister. Looking for answers to what happened. "What do you mean Mister?" she asked in a choked voice and confused eyes looked at the Mister expectantly.

"Well, you're a long-lost Phoenix from celestial" he answered simply, he could see her eyes still confused at the answer he gave.

"Phoenix Bird" she added the word bird because as far as she knew from the legends. The phoenix is ​​a legendary or mythical bird that is well-known and widespread throughout the yellow kingdom. Phoenix is ​​synonymous with its presence along with Dragon. in every picture she sees wherever she goes always. These two legendary creatures are always side by side with each other. Inseparable.

'Dragons are celestial beings, and so are Phoenix' she turned her head to the reflection on the water's surface again to make sure her eyes had mis-sees. But the shadow is still there. Move according to the movements she does.

Xuan Lung observed Qing Yang's movements. his face smiled amused. He didn't expect to find the missing phoenix. And here she is in human form. Who would have thought that she was the long-lost phoenix.

He got answers to his questions on the edge of the cliffs of the east sea coast. When he saw a girl helping a fisherman and his eyes never left the girl. the figure of that girl always appeared in his mind wherever he went.

To get that answer, he watched the girl from a distance. And try to approach her from every opportunity that exists. But that opportunity was always blocked by Xuan Ti. Only now did he get his chance and he would not waste it.

"I don't understand, how is that possible?" her question just slipped from her trembling mouth, her eyes still looking at the shape above the water's surface without heeding to stare at Xuan Lung.

Xuan Lung's face softened, patient. "Come, I'll show it to you" he said extended out his hand to help her out of the pool.

Her brows frowned, her forehead furrowed deeply, more confused. But she followed the mister's invitation, got up and walked up the steps at the bottom of the pool, when she reaches was close to him, she placed her palm on his palm.

Xuan Lung immediately gripped her palm tightly, ensuring she walked out of the pool without a hitch. Then he turned in the direction he wanted to go. His hand still gripped Qing Yang's palm as he stepped out and she followed him, walking beside him, in silent.

In her mind she said 'what a mysterious and suspicious man' since from earlier not all the questions she asks to him got answers from it. For that she did not try to waste energy asking questions, but her curiosity was much greater. So, she can't just be silent, mute.

While walking, not for a moment, her ears heard the 'The strains of benevolence' as this Master said, she thought inwardly. The strains continued to ring in her ears.

'A life in harmony goes hand in hand with a peaceful heart. Moment to moment it matters. A wall of ignorance surrounds a mind full of boredom about the life that you should seek answers to. Silk shawls scattered, meaningless but meaningful. There is no life and life itself. Thought is the key to the truth. Without the truth, it will be full of confusion, suffering. Happiness is a goal but not an option'.

The strains kept ringing in her ears, she didn't understand the meaning of those words at all. she was lost in thought. Her brow furrowed. Think about the meaning of the strains of benevolence. But she didn't get the answer.

She glanced sideways at the Mister. Bracing herself, she asked. "Hmm, mister, are you hearing the words of the strains of benevolence you spoke earlier?" her eyes narrowed, waiting for an answer.

"Yes, of course I heard it. But what you heard is different from what I heard" he replied, without glancing at her he knew very well she was getting confused, but he didn't say any more words until he heard another question, amused.

Qing Yang's face sank, exasperated 'Ugh, why are the words he spoke so enigmatic. Instead of giving a direct answer. He made me even more embarrassed. From the look on his face, he looks like he really enjoys teasing me.

"What is this place sir?" Desperately she asked again the question she had not answered for a long time.

"Well, a place where not just any human can come here, but you're the exception" he answered shortly, not realizing he was snorting, his lips tightly shut, smiling crookedly.

'Argg….' she screamed inwardly 'why is he so full of riddles?' in despair. "Hmm sir can you explain more clearly so that I can understand the meaning of what you are saying?" she asked, surrendered.

He tilted his head slightly, glanced at her direction for a moment then looked forward again saying "You will know in time, at this time I can't give a clear answer, because you are not in a position to know the secrets of life outside of human life" Finally he said at least the words which she could understand but another question arose from his words.

But before she had a chance to ask, the Mister said

"Come, we don't have much time here" Xuan Lung said, his footsteps getting wider, making her run a little to match his footsteps.

From the Mister's words, she concluded that she couldn't come here when she wanted to. For that she did not waste it. She concentrated on the strains of benevolence while looking around to memories it. There were times when she suddenly felt her surroundings change and she couldn't tell if her gaze was right, because right now she felt as if she was in a hidden place, a mystery.

They continued walking until a building appeared in front of them. A building she wouldn't find in the yellow kingdom. The walls of the building are made of crystals, some are made of ice that shimmers in the light of day. Amazing.

The air is cold but not cold, but warm. Pennants lined the perimeter of the building, with a sketch of a phoenix. No one was seen around the building, she doubted whether there were people inside the building.

They continued to walk toward the building when they reached the gate. She heard a voice uttered from the figure standing beside her. "Welcome to the Phoenix residence"
