Yi Hua burned the talisman papers in the air as illumination. He stared at the roots in front of him vigilantly. Anyhow he knew when these roots would attack him.
"He wasn't Yi Xia," they triggered, and headed towards Yi Hua again to attack.
Even so, Yi Hua threw her talisman again towards them, but did not injure. Just to keep them away from Yi Hua.
"I came here to look for Yi Xia ... I mean, my mom ... I don't intend to hurt you guys" Yi Hua said as he paid his respects.
Yi Hua's mouth was suddenly strange as she mentioned mother. She was not the real Yi Hua.
After all, it was usually only done by humans. However, Yi Hua felt that he would be safer if he made peace with these roots. After all, he came here also wanted to know about the case of the drought disaster that hit Yi Village.
It was better if he asked the Phoenix Tree which he said was the cause of this drought, right?
SRAH!
Oh my goodness! Are they roots or snakes? Why is it sizzling like that?
Actually Yi Hua wanted to escape immediately.
Yi Hua was sure that he did not have an excessive fear of snakes. But, the phenomenon in front of him was strange enough that it was frightening.
And, he was also very aware that he had not yet had any plans to escape.
"Child of Yi Xia? How could it be?" Then, there was a commotion everywhere.
If Yi Hua knew he would answer. The problem was that he also never expected that the real Yi Hua was the son of a human and a Phoenix God. Shi Heng had never said anything about Yi Hua's mother. Of course it was because it was a thing that would make others think if Shi Heng were crazy. Nothing is impossible in this world.
Shi Heng chose silence because it was also extremely dangerous. Also, Yi Hua did not really know how Shi Heng's romance story was. It could be like the story of the Qixi celebration. And, Shi Heng was somehow only able to meet Yi Xia once a year by bringing Yi Hua along.
Since the beginning, God and man are different.
Especially Phoenix.
According to the belief, the Phoenix came bringing the wind, and it could be a blessing, that is, it could make rain. However, these roots were looking for Yi Xia, and that meant that Yi Xia who was supposed to be in charge of bringing wind to Yi Village did not exist. He was the protective God in Yi Village. That's what makes this drought come.
Until here Yi Hua understood, but the rest did not. Where is Yi Xia?
These few months Yi Village started to dry up. Perhaps it was the period where Yi Xia disappeared. The figure is also very similar to Yi Hua, although in a quieter and warmer version. Especially with Yi Hua being born as a Phoenix child, she also had the Phoenix flames within her body.
Yi Hua was only half Phoenix, so that was what made Yi Hua instead become a container for the demon furnace.
Also, Yi Xia ...
Did he really disappear? What does it mean to just disappear because the power is fading?
Xiao replied, "That makes a lot of sense, HuaHua. Did you ever think about what Yi Xia had to endure for giving birth to Yi Hua? Especially when God is holy, HuaHua."
"Then, why did the real Yi Hua never meet her mother? Didn't Ming Fan say that Yi Hua and her father always went to Yi Village once a year?" yi Hua said inwardly.
Eh?
Once a year. And, Yi Hua had never met her mother, even though she had come to Yi Village.
Yi Hua stared at the root who was like very wary of him. Let alone hearing from the utterances of these roots, they might be less fond of humans. Yi Hua had to be careful not to offend them.
"Where's my mom?" yi Hua asked slowly.
The roots hissed again to make Yi Hua increase the number of talismans for lighting. He has to make sure they don't attack him from behind. And these roots are like fear of fire. They dodged further and further as Yi Hua lit the talisman paper in the air.
Yi Hua sent his talisman paper closer. "I asked where my mom is? Hadn't he been in the Phoenix Tree all this time?" said Yi Hua who was a bit pushy.
What Yi Hua feared was ... Since the beginning Yi Xia had indeed disappeared for a long time.
"For these root demons time was traveling so fast, that they didn't think Yi Xia was gone for so long. But for human time, it was a long time. Maybe a dozen years, or since Yi Hua was born in this world, Yi Xia is indeed dead," Xiao explained in the end. As has often happened, Xiao was indeed tasked to help him during his life as Yi Hua.
He began to understand something.
The reason why Shi Heng had always brought Yi Hua to Yi Village was not to meet his mother. It was all just because Yi Hua was a person who could take the place of duty from her mother. Energizing the Phoenix tree to bring wind to Yi Village.
But when Yi Hua's father died, no one knew about his activities. Yi Hua himself did not know. So the Phoenix Tree lost its power. It was all because the Phoenix Tree lost its God.
The roots immediately answered. Their voices sounded together so that Yi Hua could not digest too much. After a long time, he managed to understand what they were talking about.
"The man took her. Poor Yi Xia, he was instead following a human who could absorb the rest of his life," the roots said with a sound of crying.
Nope.
As Yi Hua had guessed. This was all because of a God who had begun to fade away as a result of his mistake. To pollute his Gods by living with men.
Yi Hua looked around. This was clearly an underground cavern. But this cave will not be found by ordinary humans. So that if Yi Hua did not solve the problem of Yanga and in this place, then he would not be able to return.
"I will help you to stay alive, and in its place ..."
Yi Hua smiled faintly, "Please continue to remember my mother. One day when his powers return, he'll be here."
His mother was a Phoenix God. One day his mother will return. As long as people believe it. People remember him, and his mother will come back.
Xiao suddenly made a sound. "Yi Hua, there's a strange energy from the outside."
Shortly after Xiao said that, the surroundings trembled violently. The roots became panicked, and the entire talisman that Yi Hua had turned on had been extinguished.
Xiao suddenly wanted to clench because of a hiccup. "No. Can you handle that angry guy? He will soon destroy this cave!"
I forgot that An would do something.

Title: Phoenix Fishing Man in the River
"Hey, there's a human floating in the river." The voice was heard very softly by the plants around him.
Even so, they still ignored what they saw. However, human affairs are not what they can touch. Especially to a god like him. He was only in charge of giving prosperity and well-being to the weather.
This is none of my business at all.
However ...
CRITS! CRITS!
The god felt somewhat indignant with the birds casually perched on the drifting human's back. How could they not be afraid of humans. Uh, or the man is lifeless.
SRETT!
Heh?
The legs of the human were moving slowly, a sign that the creature there was actually still alive. This makes the God even more confused. If he was still alive and floating like that, why would he let himself just drift away?
Moment ...
Isn't it after this part of the river that it's a rock? If this human continued to drift at an average speed, then he would soon land on the rocks. At worst with such a strong current, he might not survive anymore and would not be able to act silly.
This is not his business at all. If this human were to die, then he would only need to ascend to the heavens. That is what the gods decided. In fact he chose to rely on a log and let his head almost meet the ground.
"I don't care. This man is dead. None of my business! None of my business!" said the god while continuing to hang like a lizard stuck in its tail.
SRETT! SRETT!
CRAK UP!
Even the floating human was still able to scratch his back. He must have felt itchy as the birds perched on his back. After all, if you want to kill yourself why should it be in this river of Yi Village!
Hang yourself in a tea tree!
You shitty human!
The real god, more irritated than pity, chose to fly closer. Then, he approached the human floating in the river. Then, he pulled her up to the riverbank.
"BRUHH!"
The god retreated quickly as the human spurted water into the air. Fortunately, he was not at such a close distance. It was so infuriating that the God intended to become the Lifeless God.
Where's that Life-Attracting partner? He wanted to order his partner to take this shitty human life.
Already given life instead choose to end it first.
"Am I in heaven?" ask the man who looks around him.
The gods obviously do not need to hide because humans will not be able to see it. So that he stood with the shadow knife he created. If he were to get upset with this human, he would just need to stab him!
And, that human gaze came to a halt on the beautiful figure of the God.
Her plum blossom-like clothes made the man even more riveted.
PLOK!
The man clapped his hands proudly. "I must have been in heaven. The proof is there's an angel with me."
Hold still.
The god came closer to a human being who was almost a corpse because of his ridiculousness.
"Can you see me, man?"
"TAMAT," said Xiao who was lazy to tell a story.
Yi Hua remembered Xiao had told him about it too when Yi Hua could not sleep. At first he thought Xiao was just making up stories. Because, Xiao was always like that, and never serious. After all, isn't that story also rhyming like a fairy tale before bed.
But now he understands. That's the beginning of the story of this real problem.
