The dance of the gods, the feathers of the gods, and the echo of the bells.
According to the legend, the three conditions for summoning the gods were fully assembled, which made Xiaozhi and his party, as well as the kimono girls who finished dancing the God's Dance, widen their eyes and scan the surroundings curiously.
Will Ho-oh, or Lugia, really come...?
Squeak...!
At this time, the sound of stepping on old wooden boards suddenly came from inside the scorched tower.
The amplitude is not small, and it is definitely not the kind of movement that wild Pokémon such as Rattata can make.
"!"
This also made everyone hold their breath and look into the scorched tower.
Soon, a black shadow more than one meter high slowly and tentatively poked its head out of the scorched tower.
Blinking his big eyes, he looked curiously at the people outside.
She has waist-length brown hair, wearing a blue sleeveless top and a dark red plaid skirt.
He has a round face, his forehead bangs are playfully parted to both sides, and he wears a blue and white sun hat on his head.
In her hands, she held up a large chicken drumstick dripping with oil.
On the other side, he was holding a huge meat bun, and the rich aroma of white smoke and meat wafted through the gap.
"?"
Xiao Lan looked at the people outside the Burnt Tower with a confused look on her face.
Xiaozhi and others: "?"
Wait a moment.
If there is no mistake, this person should be his fellow villager, Xiaolan from Zhenxin Town, right?
It's just something he didn't expect.
Xiao Lan: "???"
Seeing several pairs of eyes focused on her, Xiao Lan was even more innocent than them.
With her mouth slightly open, she subconsciously took a bite of the big meat bun...
...
Burnt outside the tower.
After a brief period of confusion, Xiaozhi finally couldn't help but ask:
"Xiaolan, why are you here?"
Speaking of which, it seems that when we last met in Platycodon City, Xiao Lan said that she was going to Yuanzhu City.
But why are there ruins in this scorched tower?!
And with this look, are you stealing food?
"Hmm~ This is a long story~"
Speaking of this, Xiaolan's pretty face was a little shy.
She wanted to reach out and touch the back of her head, but both palms were stained with oil, so she could only put them down in embarrassment.
After some communication in dragon language, Xiaozhi and the three of them knew the whole story.
It turns out that after Xiaolan was blacklisted by the trumpet bud tower in Platycodon City, she went to Yuanzhu City without stopping.
Because here is the Bell Pagoda Temple, which is known as the Holy Land of Cultivation throughout the city.
Moreover, the requirements here are much more relaxed than those at Trumpet Bud Tower.
Even though Xiao Lan is a woman, she can still successfully enter it to practice, and was even given a Dharma title by the host here.
This greatly satisfied Xiaolan’s spiritual practice.
If it weren't for the round shape of her head, it might not look good after shaving her hair, and Xiaolan would have almost had to shave her head and practice spiritual practice.
"It's just that the people here are all ascetic brothers and masters. The food they eat every day is white radish porridge. They really can't stand it. They can only sneak out and eat in the middle of the night~ Hehe~"
The little blue watery big eyes bent, narrowed like a fox, and rubbed her little hands.
11 years old, now is the time to grow.
Sneaking out to eat is completely reasonable!
The Burnt Tower next to the Bell Tower is rarely visited.
Especially at night, no one will come near at all, which is a perfect place for her to steal food.
Xiaozhi and three others: "..."
Although this story sounds a bit absurd.
But if the target is Xiaolan, there seems to be something missing...?
...
"Squeak!"
While everyone was still reminiscing about old times, the sound of stepping on ancient wooden boards was heard again in the scorched tower.
Among them, there was also a faint "dong" sound, which was much louder than Xiaolan's.
Even the temperature in the surrounding air seems to have increased strangely...?
"Is there anyone else eating secretly?"
Xiao Lan turned her head and looked behind her with a confused look.
Just like that, everyone stared with wide eyes.
Whoosh!
A huge black shadow stepped hard inside the Burnt Tower, and with a powerful jump, it jumped directly from inside to the open space outside the Burnt Tower.
This figure also completely revealed its entire face in front of everyone.
The thick animal-shaped body, with its limbs on the ground, and its raised head are still close to 2 meters in height.
The whole body is covered with dark brown rough short hair, and the joints of the limbs are surrounded by metal black iron rings.
The mighty and domineering lion's head is raised high, and its face is inlaid with gray, red, and yellow hard carapace, as if it is always wearing a mask.
The broad back is covered with gray spikes.
From the neck, thick gray smoke filled the air, as if he was carrying a smoking volcano on his back.
The legendary Pokémon, Entei!
"I'll give you a fuck..."
"It's really Emperor Yan..."
"Wait a minute, according to legend, Emperor Yan seems to be the envoy of King Phoenix in the human world...?"
"Are you saying that the one we summoned was Emperor Yan, not King Phoenix...?"
Everyone was talking a lot.
Xiao Lan's eyes widened even more, so was this Yan Emperor just watching her eating?!
...
...
Compared to everyone's shock, there was something else in Xiaozhi's surprised eyes.
Handsome and mighty lion head, dark brown short hair, similar body shape...
Especially in the dark mane around Yandi's neck, a string of black vine necklaces are faintly exposed.
At the end of the necklace, there is a small black, shining charcoal.
This is Tong Shulin, the top-grade special charcoal made by the master charcoal maker. Even after 350 years, it is still intact.
Xiaozhi's eyes gradually became fiery.
The two-meter-tall lion-shaped beast in front of him began to overlap with the figure of the red fire beast he knew when he traveled hundreds of years ago.
It's just that the latter is militant and full of fighting spirit.
At this moment, this Flame Emperor is not so fiercely aggressive.
On the contrary, the breath is restrained and deep, bottomless.
Thinking of this, Xiaozhi couldn't help but walked forward and said:
"Are you... a fire monster?"
...
"..."
Emperor Yan just stayed silent for a long time.
He stared at Xiaozhi with majestic eyes and did not answer.
It has not heard the name Fire Beast for hundreds of years.
Trivia, Xiao Zhi remembered all the latter's stories in an instant. It should be that this memory that traveled through time and space only happened more than half a month ago for him.
But for Emperor Yan, it has been a long 350 years.
This is an extremely long period of time, and even the most profound memories have long been smoothed away.
And it didn't know that the human it met back then came from the future.
The normal human life span is less than 100 years old.
In its memory, the human trainer who taught it the unique skill of breathing fire and gave it charcoal was already dead.
But why does this human boy in front of him give it an extremely familiar aura...?
