Chapter 10: The Secret of the Ear

Previous Chapter

As soon as he felt that his body suddenly became light and agile, his hands were no longer bound by the tens of millions of pounds of feather snowflakes. He floated in mid-air, surrounded by darkness and chaos. He knew he was dead.

My mother once told Jian Yi that when people are on the verge of death, their deceased relatives and friends will gather around them, smiling and laughing, to welcome the new person into a new world. Jian Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to test around, but he could no longer touch his younger brother. His surroundings were empty, both lost and happy. He was saddened and saddened, and from then on, he was alone on the lonely road. He didn't even find his long-dead best friend, Little Yellow Chicken. But fortunately, the people I love and care about are still alive.

In this chaotic world cut off from the light, Jian Yi felt like a cloud of air. The helplessness and sense of loss that his body was scattered everywhere and had no actual shape made him feel like he was everywhere and yet nowhere else.

Below him was a dark sea. Even though there was no light, he could still perceive the sparkling surface of the sea. There was an abrupt white dot on the surface of the sea, which was incompatible with the entire chaotic world. It was an egret, and it was the only different color in this dark world.

The egret stood on the surface of the sea like a needle of the sea god, and seemed to suppress the dead silence of the entire ocean at the bottom of his feet. Jian Yi was a little angry, the luxuriant wing feathers on the wings of this egret were like the heavy snowflakes that crushed themselves to death. How ridiculous is this self-defeating egret that thinks it can seal the entire ocean.

Beneath the surface of the sea, a huge floating black shadow was bound by the egret's talons. Feeling the oppression and restraint that was difficult to break through, he felt that the black shadow in the water was him, but he wondered why he had a perspective floating in the sky at the same time.

The huge black shadow in the sea water is as stirring as the heart of Jianyi. The wind and waves pretended to be calm, but they were just gathering momentum, patiently waiting to strike a fatal blow. The egret remained vigilant, but still proudly and gracefully raised its slender neck.

After a short storm on the eve of a short storm, the sea suddenly set off a shocking wave, and the huge black shadow in the sea began to counterattack, and the waves swept towards the egret. The egret flapped its wings lightly and took off to dodge. Its wings spread out with all its might, and the distance between the two wings was actually more than 100 meters long. The wings are neat and dense, shining with the cold glow of metal.

The egret bent at the sky with a loud "quack", tearing through the darkness. The clarion call for war sounded like a wail. Caught under its claws was its prey, a large serpentine object dragged alive from the sea. The egret's sharp claws pierce deep into its prey. As soon as he felt another tearing pain in his hand, he was suddenly pulled into the air.

The egrets flapped their wings with all their might, and there was a roar of metal clashing in the air. It attempts to drag its prey away from the surface of the sea entirely. The heat wave, with the instigation of its wings, hit the surface of the sea, causing the sea to boil for a while.

Along with the rising egret, its prey leaks more of its body parts out of the water. Huge snake-like objects stretched out from the surface of the sea and swung in the air, raising huge waves that could even hit egrets. It turned out that what was caught by the egret and dragged into the air was a huge octopus tentacle. The giant snake-like objects that swung in the sky were all the tentacles of the giant octopus.

Jian Yi felt both hands forced to rise, and his body was pulled and moved upward. It dawned on him that the snowflake that crushed him was the egret with its metal wings. And those huge octopus tentacles are actually their own hands.

What? How is this possible? He couldn't believe that he was a giant black and ugly octopus under the sea! He looked closely at his hands, and the ten human fingers were clearly distinguished, but they were also the disgusting tentacles of the octopus covered with suckers. Jianyi finally understood why he was able to cling to the smooth surface of the cliff and crawl freely.

The egret clearly overestimated its strength, and the giant octopus's even larger body parts were hidden beneath the surface. The egret tried its best, but like a kite on a leash, it could not continue to fly half an inch.

The giant octopus took advantage of the situation to unleash all its tentacles, pounced on it in all directions, and converged on the egret. The egret had no choice but to let go of its prey and flee to a higher place. The tentacle that it clamped on slammed into the sea, causing terrifying waves.

Seeing that this plan could not be achieved, the egret changed its offensive strategy. It shrunk its wings, adjusted its body to streamline, and swooped down from high in the air, its claws once again piercing one of the giant octopus's tentacles, launching it like a fish to the bottom. It attempted to use its huge weight and strong momentum to drag the giant octopus to the bottom of the sea. The blades on the egrets' claws are razor-sharp, and the suction cups on the octopus's tentacles are cut into a bloody blur.

The giant octopus was forcibly dragged by the egret and sank to the bottom of the sea. Turbulent whirlpools are formed on the surface of the sea, and bright tides and undercurrents are surging together. However, the egret's decision was nothing more than hitting a stone with an egg. The giant octopus that stirs up the wind and waves and calls the wind and rain is the supreme king of the ocean. The giant octopus takes advantage of the momentum of the egret to swim with the egret. It contracted all its tentacles and violently spewed out the column of water stored in the ventral funnel, dragging the egret deeper into the ocean floor at a faster speed with the help of the resulting reaction force.

The egret was shocked, it could not stay on the ocean floor for long. Its wings suddenly opened, and its feathers lit up the bottom of the sea like sharp blades. These wings, which originally follow the edge of the wings, are automatically rotated 90 degrees, and the sides of the blades are pointed outwards at the upper and lower sides of the wings, forming two rows of dense bladed walls. The two rows of two-way blades spin highly with the egret's body, stirring up whirlpools that stretch from the bottom of the ocean to the surface. The egret is like an invincible meat grinder.

The tentacle of the giant octopus entangled with the egret was instantly severed by this meat grinder, and the giant octopus was able to escape. The meat grinder didn't slow down its attack, it turned around and whistled again at the giant octopus.

The giant octopus waved its tentacles and made sharp turns in quick succession, easily avoiding the rampaging egret meat grinder. It shrank sharply to adjust its angle, and with a loud "boom", it unexpectedly fired an ink cannonball. The explosion of the cannonball was like thunder on the ground, shaking the seabed on the side, and countless seawater was hit by the aftermath of the sound waves of the cannonballs, shaking and resonating on the sea surface.

The intense ink released by the explosion of the shells stained the seabed into a pool of unstable black water. The egret meat grinder lost its way and hit the wall at the bottom of the sea like a trapped beast. Before it could come to its senses, a series of whistling ink cannonballs hit its body hard. The egret is not good at dodging, but it is more like actively spreading its wings in the dark, making itself an eye-catching target, and taking the initiative to meet the attack of ink cannonballs. The ink contains a large amount of nerve palsy and toxic substances. Like a wrecked flying machine, the egret did not move and fell straight to the bottom of the sea.

The giant octopus has dense tusks growing on its tentacles, and the entire ocean is like boiling water, and the bubbles are tumbling like boiling water, like a dark purgatory. The egret's plumage was dyed black, rising and falling in the boiling ocean, and soon lost its trace. Giant octopuses cruise rapidly in the depths of the dark ocean. The sky flashed and thundered, and the sea and sky lost their border. This giant red-eyed beast has conquered the darkness of the ocean, and also has the ability and ambition to devour the world.

The perspective of the note floating in the sky is forcibly swallowed by the darkness and merges with the giant octopus. They cruise through the ocean floor and enjoy the thrill of victory.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!" a rapid bell sound came from the sky, and the wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and the huge waves on the sea died down in an instant. The sound of bells continued, washing the world as warmly as the sounds of heaven, and the ink in the ocean gradually faded. The sound of the bell became louder and clearer, and the giant octopus suddenly stopped swimming as if it had been hit by a Gu demon. It folded its tentacles and curled up in a ball, meekly and obediently sinking to the bottom of the sea, merging with the surrounding reef.

The giant octopus unleashes a perspective that floats in the air. The sound of the bell tore a gap in the sky, and sunlight and white clouds slanted in. The world is gradually being re-lit and the oceans are coming to life. The fluttering point of view of the note was pulled by the call of the bell and flew towards the gap in the sky.

Just as he was finally about to escape from the gap, the floating perspective of the note suddenly stopped in the air, and no matter how desperately he struggled, he couldn't move half a minute in vain. The feeling of my brother crying and gently stroking his hair became more and more real. After all, he still couldn't leave his lonely brother. Yes! It's like counting, grit your teeth and hold on a little longer! He has to work harder! He must not give up!

He finally managed to fly out of the gap, and sure enough, he saw his brother Bell's frightened, helpless, tear-smeared, snot blowing bubbles. The younger brother was shaking himself desperately, shouting "Brother, brother!" The cuddled on the ground gradually regained consciousness. The crisp sound of the bell calling for him turned out to be the desperate cry of his younger brother.

The heavy feather snowflake in his hand had long since disappeared. He struggled to sit up, and the bell threw herself into his arms. The one-year-old boy was so frightened that he hid in his brother's arms and cried no matter how much he teased and hummed.

It turned out that Bell saw his brother curled up in pain on the ground and clutched his hands tightly in his arms. He tried to drag his brother home, but he couldn't. He had to sit next to his brother and gently stroke his hair as he comforted himself while he was sleeping. The elder brother became colder and colder, and his own soothing was really useful! The elder brother finally fell asleep! The elder brother was motionless and slept soundly, and he rested for a while, and they could go home together.

During the stroke, the conspicuous black mole on the left ear of my brother suddenly swelled up and spread rapidly in all directions. Like a damp white cloth soaked in ink, the elder brother let the black quickly spread from his ears and devour every inch of his body. The black mole seemed to be an unfathomable hot spring eye, spurting out a steady stream of strange ink.

This kind of black is not the black that you can't see at night, but the black that shines brightly. The ghostly black seemed to be able to speak for itself, and it issued a stern warning that would engulf the world, emitting an aggressive heat that quickly vaporized the new blizzard.

The dark black completely drowned out the familiar face of his brother, which broke the bell's perception of his brother. Since he discovered that no matter whether his brother cooks or washes, sleeps or writes, as long as he opens his mouth and cries softly, he can immediately attract his brother's attention and comfort, and he has tried it repeatedly. The bell cried eagerly for her brother. He didn't know that his brother had experienced a cocooned blackening and degeneration in the chaotic world of his mind. I don't know that my call is the crisp bell sound that washes away the dirt and sin in time and awakens my brother to return to all beings.

The diffuse blackness of his whole body faded away, and all of it retreated into the black mole in his left ear. He slowly opened his eyes, came to his senses, and he broke out of his cocoon and was reborn.

Recalling Mount Tai and Hongmao, which are contrary to common sense, I suddenly realized. His love for his younger brother may seem to the world to be mixed with too many daily trivialities, diluted and dragged on, as insignificant as a feather. However, the feathers weigh thousands of pounds, and the waves inside are magnificent and the drizzle is deep, and only you can know it.

Not far away, Hongmao's whole body was covered in oil, and she collapsed in Tarzan's arms, coughing continuously, and stagnant sea water mixed with aquatic plants gushed out of her mouth and nose. She risked her life in the world of her mind to challenge the ancient North Sea Monster with her own strength, and almost drowned in the dark Northern Hellland of the Sea Siren. The Winged Feather Snowflake she used to suppress the persecution of the Paperman's Burst had vaporized and vanished with her defeat.

Stroking Tarzan's wounded face, Hongmao gasped, "We have completed the task of 'that woman'!" and successfully tested the mysterious power hidden in the little boy's ears. 'The woman' promised us both! This is the last action. She will lift your curse and set you free! Take me home! Every migratory wandering heron will desperately return to the place where it was born before dying. ”

At this time, the left ear of the note was activated, and it was already a golden ear of wheat waiting to be harvested and ripe. How could Taishan be willing to give up so easily! How could a gluttonous and hungry ghost endure the all-enchanting Manchu and Han banquet that was within reach and attractive in front of him, and only watched from a distance and did not play with it? Taking advantage of the fact that he was a young man and had not really awakened, cutting off his ears now was an excellent opportunity for "that woman" to make meritorious contributions in front of "that woman."

Seeing that Taishan was silent and murderous, Hongmao choked up and grabbed Taishan's hand and said: "Living in seclusion in the countryside, living a life facing the sea, and the spring flowers blooming, isn't it the freedom that you and I yearn for in our lives? How can the birds on the top of the wind and clouds and thousands of miles of prosperity endure the shackles of the cage and covet the magnificence of the cage? It is impossible for you and I to get the ear of that little boy! Please take me out of here!"

Hongmao and Taishan were originally a pair of unrestrained and arrogant egret birds. The two of them lived in both rooms and lived a life like a fairy couple. One day, the two birds flew over a cliff and were attracted by the strange stones that shimmered in the swamp at the bottom of the cliff. Tarzan swooped down to retrieve the stone for Hongmao, but it was an elaborate trap. "That woman" stripped Tarzan of all his wings. Hongmao and Tarzan are not afraid of the sun and can fly into the sky, and they can easily fly into the territory of the North Sea Giant in the Chaos World. As long as the two birds promised to do a "little thing", the "woman" promised to return the immortal wing feathers that Mount Tai had cultivated for thousands of years.

Hongmao knew that if he collided with the dark territory of the North Sea Monster, he would definitely die. She remembered the hardships of sleeping in the open air with Mount Tai and going to the scorching heat in the harsh winter, and the warmth of the two birds to inspire growth together, and she will never forget it. She loves freedom, and she loves Tarzan even more. She is willing to fight to the death for Tarzan.

The feathers trembling, and the breeze gently brushed her playful hair, pitiful and heartbreaking. She is still like the top of the towering Zen Meditation, leading her lover to soar between the sun and the clouds.

Tarzan knew that if he acted rashly, the unfathomable power in the little boy's body was likely to explode again. What's more, another master has arrived, and it is not cost-effective to lose his life in order to grab merit. It's a long time coming. hugged the feathers and left in a huff.

People say that all the lowly things in the world are lighter than feathers. And the feathers are deep, how can they be a little lower than Mount Tai?
