【003】Ancient Elf Nine-headed Bird

Nian Nian Furui returned to Angel Paradise, and the sisters sat around chattering about their experiences from the past day. Only the angel of the Gospel remembers Furui, like a little child's heart full of thoughts, which makes the Virgin Mary very worried. She then decided to let all the children go to the courtyard of Angel Paradise, and let each beautiful angel face the stars in the sky and talk to her own thoughts...... The courtyard of Angel Paradise was silent, only the fragrance of flowers flowing freely in the air. The courtyard wall of the paradise is a row of heavenly trees with golden flowers, and there is no clear green in the night, and the upper part of all the plants is filled with a light mist. The angels are all sitting on the flower steps made of white marble in Angel Paradise, holding jade cheeks with small hands and wings protecting jade arms, obediently sitting around the Virgin Mother, looking forward to the proposition of the Virgin Mother......

"I have a little secret to tell you tonight. The Virgin Mary sang two nursery rhymes and sat down, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"The first to share with you must be the bravest child. Our Lady Mother's face was full of love, and her right hand was caressing the wings of the angel of the Gospel as she spoke, conveying the warm love and courage to Furui. When the Gospel Angel Foris was the first to raise her little hand to the Virgin Mary, the angelic sisters applauded enthusiastically......

"I learned a lot from my sister who was a nine-headed bird. But I also inadvertently reminded her of the sad past. This is very incompatible with my role as an angel. How can the angels of the Gospel transmit their grief to others?" Furui shared her uneasy thoughts almost with tears in her eyes. This made the partners once again give warm applause for her bravery. In the angelic world of Our Lady's attention, it is better to give everyone encouragement than a thousand words of preaching or rebuke. Children learn encouragement from their great mothers, and at the same time learn their mothers' tolerance for the world.

"It's not your fault, my child. The nine-headed bird is actually the ancestor worshiped by the Chu people. It's just that only Han Mei still has the true body of a nine-headed bird phoenix. This is already very lucky, after all, in the world of heaven, we can still really witness the beautiful nine-headed bird hundreds of millions of years ago, which is the greatest blessing she gave us in Angel Paradise. Then let's let Han Mei become a trusted friend of Paradise Paradise forever. Our Lady looked with longing eyes, expecting the advice of the angels. She was rewarded with a round of applause and passionate cheers......

"Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a guy Yin Balo, he only had an only daughter, according to the rules of the Yin family ancestral hall, he could not recruit his son-in-law back to the Yin family, he had to marry his daughter out of the village, the two couples were old, and the daughter could only come back to help once in ten days and eight days. Sometimes there is no firewood and grass, and Yinbaro will go to the mountains to collect some dry firewood and come back to burn it. Once, when he was about to return from collecting firewood, he passed by the mouth of a cave and saw a white rolling thing in the cave, thinking that it was some kind of gold and silver treasure, so he hurriedly picked it up and saw that it was a very large egg. When he put the eggs in his pocket, he picked up the firewood and went home happily.

When he got home, he wanted to boil the egg and eat it, but he thought it wouldn't be nice if he put it in the hen's coop and let the hen incubate and see what it would bring? He was looking forward to it, looking forward to it, and finally the chicks hatched. At first glance, there was a peculiar little monster in the flock of chickens, this little monster had nine heads, covered with fish scales, a pair of short wings, and no feet, and Silver Barlow called it a nine-headed bird. The nine-headed bird does not eat rice or earthworms for several hours, and Silver Barlow gives it a lot of things, but it does not eat them. Finally, give it pig blood and cow blood, and it will eat it.

The nine-headed bird grows very fast, only a few days of effort, like a goose the size, ten days, it grows like a calf. It has a bloody mouth, and its nine heads are crooked, and it is afraid of people. Then Yinbaro said to him, 'Animal, I can't feed you, go find something to eat yourself!' and the nine-headed bird, as if he knew how to speak, slid to the dragon pool behind the house, and every day he saw it stick out its head, as if asking Yinbaro to eat blood. Silver Barlow took pity on it, and when he was rushing to the streets, he would still buy some blood for it to eat.

The two nephews of Silver Barlow heard that their grandfather had a nine-headed bird, and they wanted to see it, but Silver Barlow always refused to let them see it, and the two nephews took advantage of their grandfather's absence from home and secretly ran to the edge of the pool to see the nine-headed bird, and the nine-headed bird saw the child in red and thought it was Silver Barlow and bought blood for it to eat, so he jumped up and swallowed the two nephews, and when Silver Barlow came back, he didn't see his nephew, and saw the straw hat that the nephew was wearing floating on the water, and knew that it must have been eaten by the nine-headed bird, because the nine-headed bird thought it was blood when he saw the red thing, so he ate his nephew by mistake. Silver Barlow was very angry, and scolded, 'You ungrateful beast, I have fed you too much, but you have killed my nephew, and I will never buy blood for you to eat again, so go away!' Then it flew away.

Yin Barlow was very sad because his nephew was eaten by the nine birds, and he didn't know how to explain it to his daughter, so he fell ill and died soon after. His daughter and son-in-law returned for the funeral. However, Mr. Geography chose many places that were not easy to bury. The nine-headed bird, who was far away in the sky, knew that his master had died, so he made his body smaller and came to the dining table of Yinbaro, with tears in his eyes. Yinbaro's wife said to him, 'Nine-headed bird, nine-headed bird, the master has fed you to grow up and fly away, and now he can't find a place to bury him, why don't you do a favor?'

In the middle of the night, a strong wind suddenly blew, and Yin Barlow's wife, daughter and son-in-law woke up to see that the coffin was gone, and knew that the nine-headed bird had taken it away with a strong wind. The next day, people were asked to look around, and finally saw a coffin under the stone ridge on the mountain in front of the village, which turned out to be Yin Balo's, the coffin was red light, and it was brand new, and people said that the stone ridge was the holy land of Yin Balo's Fushan, and although his two nephews died, his daughter later gave birth to seven boys and three girls, and the offspring were more prosperous.

And the nine-headed bird every time it comes to the Qingming Festival, it does not forget to sweep the tomb of its master, but when it flies, because it is like a Dapeng bird, it alarms the heavenly court, and the Jade Emperor sends the thunder male and electric mother to split it, and sends the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to hit it with stones, so that the paste is sticky, so that it can't raise its head. It is said that the hail that fell before and after Qingming was the stone that the heavenly soldiers and generals threw down to the nine-headed bird, and the legend of the hail hitting the nine-headed bird has been passed down to this day. Of course, we have some opinions about this legend today. The nine-headed bird is also the lovely child of the Almighty Lord. How can it be such a description?" said the Virgin Mary.

"In fact, the true story takes place in a small village in Chudi, where the children did not know that their country was about to be ruined, and it was not until they learned that the annual 'Shangsi Festival' was no longer there, and they faced the cruel reality for the first time. A boy named Jing Jing remembered that the old man in the village told him that when people were in danger, they would pray for the nine-headed phoenix, which has nine heads and is "a bird of beauty, a bird of good fortune, a bird of life, and a bird of wisdom." So Jing Jing decided to go in search of the nine-headed bird, and during the journey, Jing Jing met the well-informed and cool temperament Chu Chu. They encountered many hardships and obstacles, and occasionally a phoenix's messenger 'Qingluan' would appear to help. The nine-headed bird was originally born from the image of the phoenix worshiped by the Chu people, and it was only in the Middle Ages that it was dyed with demonic colors and entered folk life. After the Ming Dynasty, it was only after the Ming Dynasty that it was associated with the Hubei people. But it has no clear and stable meaning, sometimes it is used to symbolize the rich wisdom of the Hubei people and their strong resistance to evil and violent forces, and sometimes it is used to mock the cunning in interpersonal communication. These meanings and usages are all historically formed. That being the case, there is no need for us today to establish a positive or negative fixed explanation for the nine-headed bird itself. We have to believe in our own eyes and believe in everything we see from Han Mei: Chu Chu's daughter is true, kind, sincere and lively, and the only Han Mei who survives in the world. The children believe that what Our Lady is saying this time is true. Therefore, invariably, the angels nodded to the Virgin Mommy, and they seemed to have grown up a lot overnight, and the pure childlike heart also buried the positive imprint and respect for the nine-headed bird Han Mei.
