Chapter 160 Raikou and the Past and Ho-Oh
Chapter 160 Raikou and the Past and Ho-Oh
Judging from Yan Di's words, he was clearly willing to tell him about something that would happen in the future.
So, what is it?
Li Luochen moved a chair and sat down, while simultaneously asking Huba to bring over some popcorn.
He was really going to listen to the story carefully.
Emperor Yan paced back and forth in front of Li Luochen, each step igniting the grass and setting it ablaze.
It was burned to ashes, but in a short while, it was reborn.
A fragrant aroma filled the air as Emperor Yan began to speak: "When you are recognized by the Three Sacred Beasts, you will begin a trial. I cannot reveal the details of the trial, but if you can pass it... you will gain a tremendous boost."
Listening to the Lord's words is like listening to the words.
This is Li Luochen's insight.
Seeing Li Luochen's eye twitch, the Flame Emperor couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Don't you strive to improve yourself and prove that you must gain the approval of the Three Sacred Beasts?"
Li Luochen remained silent, only shaking his head.
Emperor Yan was speechless.
He felt that Li Luochen was not easily fooled and would not accept the empty promises he made.
If Li Luochen had just acquired Pokémon, the words Entei spoke to him might have been somewhat appealing.
But right.
He has now subdued Guleton and Lugia, and also has Talebagos in his possession.
With three first-level gods at our disposal, is it necessary to fight for that elusive "trial"?
Then I'll just go with the flow.
"Brother, your approach is outdated."
Suijun arrived riding the wind.
Its toes lightly touched the ground, and the resulting ripples extinguished the raging fire.
White mist filled the air, and with a sweep of the two ribbon-like tails, the mist dispersed.
Emperor Yan glanced at Shui Jun and just snorted softly.
"I was just giving him a taste of his own medicine. I didn't expect him to be so cunning; he actually didn't fall for my empty promises."
Having said that, Emperor Yan stopped making empty promises.
Li Luochen, however, took the initiative to ask, "I have a question: how do I meet Lei Gong?"
I met both Emperor Yan and the Water God.
Now all that's missing is a Thunder God.
"That third brother of mine..."
When the topic of Lei Gong came up, Emperor Yan frowned.
Unlike himself and Suijun.
Lei Gong's whereabouts are unpredictable.
It travels around all year round.
There is still a chance to meet.
But there are some difficulties.
After all, it's the other party who doesn't want to see them.
He also always talks about "atonement".
Even though Ho-Oh said Raikou hadn't done anything wrong, it still transformed into lightning and vanquished evil in the rainy night...
"What's wrong?"
Li Luochen stopped chewing, his expression turning serious.
It seems that Lei Gong's relationship with them is somewhat strained!
But they are the Three Sacred Beasts, so they should have a good relationship, right?
"Before I tell you what happened, I want to ask you something. Do you know anything about what happened a thousand years ago?"
Emperor Yan gazed at Li Luochen and slowly asked a question.
"A thousand years ago? During the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Luochen knew about the history of Ho-Oh and the Three Holy Beasts.
The phoenix perches on the parasol tree.
As early as a thousand years ago, the Phoenix King inhabited this land in the Donghuang region.
History was completely different from what Li Luochen knew before he traveled through time.
Historical records.
The Phoenix King once bestowed a set of mysterious ancient melodies upon Fuzhou.
From then on, every ten years thereafter.
When the dancers in the city begin their dance according to the rhythm, the Phoenix King will surely descend from the heavens.
May this land be blessed, and may its grace extend to all living beings.
However, in the year of war, the enemy suddenly arrived.
Iron hooves trampled the peace, raging fires reached Gushan, and Fuzhou was in imminent danger.
The dancers, leading their Pokémon, resolutely set foot on the "Summit of Drum Mountain," which had been engulfed in flames.
Amidst the wildfire, they danced gracefully, offering their bodies as a sacrifice, and performed this final sacred dance.
Legend has it that, in order to disrupt the sacred dance, the enemy sent a group of Pokémon to attack Drum Mountain.
At that time, three Pokémon, unknown to the world, bravely stepped forward to fight amidst the blazing mountains.
They fought relentlessly, sacrificing themselves in the process, and finally managed to gain a brief opportunity for the dance, summoning the Phoenix King.
The Phoenix King finally descended from the heavens, and with his divine might, all the foreign invaders were driven away.
When He learned that three nameless Pokémon had perished in flames while protecting the Holy Dance, He summoned the Holy Fire and brought their lingering souls back from the ashes.
Flames reshaped its form, and divine grace reforged its soul.
Since then.
Emperor Yan, Water God, Thunder God.
The names of the Three Divine Beasts were thus widely circulated and praised by the world.
Li Luochen read aloud the manuscript that he had roughly translated from his Chinese textbook, which was easy for him to memorize, to Emperor Yan and the Water God.
"..."
After hearing this, both Emperor Yan and the Water God fell silent.
Judging from their faces, they seem to be convulsing?
"call……"
In the end, Emperor Yan exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"How so?"
Seeing that there was something going on, Li Luochen quickly asked what was happening.
"It's alright. If you have the chance to go back in time, you'll know what happened."
Emperor Yan did not tell Li Luochen the truth.
However, Li Luochen noticed something amiss.
Ho-Oh's active era was during the Tang Dynasty.
Since Gushan was affected by the war and the three sacred beasts were resurrected, Phoenix King seemed to have disappeared without a trace, avoiding the songs and dances of the dancers.
It was only in modern times that it was barely reappeared.
but.
The dance music bestowed by Phoenix King has long been lost. Now, if one wants to see the dance music from back then, there is really no other way but to travel back in time.
So something must have happened back then that made Phoenix King ignore the locals' dance music.
As for what it is.
Li Luochen really didn't know that.
"Alright, then I won't ask anymore."
Although Li Luochen was curious, since the Yan Emperor did not continue, there was no need for him to ask any further questions.
"I can only say that, unlike the Ho-Oh of the Johto region, the Ho-Oh of the Eastern Region is more adept at destruction."
Emperor Yan seemed to be pondering something before giving Li Luochen a reminder.
Seeing that it was getting late, it left with Suijun.
"Those destined for greatness, we shall take our leave now."
……
……
Within an unnamed secret realm.
Phoenix King was still resting soundly on the parasol tree.
Suddenly, it opened its eyes and stared at Emperor Yan and Lord Shui, who were rushing over one after the other.
"Xiao Yanzi, Xiao Shuizi, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"
The Phoenix King's eyes curved into crescents as he asked with a smile.
Emperor Yan stopped and recounted his and Shui Jun's meeting with Li Luochen that day.
"Foreign invasion?"
Phoenix King's expression was rather strange.
Emperor Yan and the Water God lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.
"Never mind, it's just not the right time yet."
After a long while, the Phoenix King looked up at the sky, his thoughts seemingly returning to the past.
What is life?
By now, you probably have your answer, right?
Emperor Yan and the Water God looked at each other, and after seeing the confusion in each other's eyes, they couldn't help but sigh.
"I have informed Xiao Lei that it will return to Rongcheng within two months. At that time, the three of you should get together and have a good time."
Phoenix King suddenly said this.
After a moment's hesitation, Suijun boldly asked, "Lord Ho-Oh, what was my third brother's answer?"
Upon hearing this, Phoenix King withdrew its gaze and said calmly, "It says it wants to meet the person connected to it."
