Once the wings are retracted, the iron-billed phoenix is still exactly the same as a big rooster, but it is more alert and spirited than an ordinary big rooster.

Its round eyes looked at the iron bull first, and then at the poplar, and suddenly turned its head and barked at the old man.

It looked like he was complaining to the old man.

The old man immediately left the iron bull and ignored it, stared at the poplar with wide eyes, and said, "You injured the eagle with a stone?"

Poplar was secretly surprised, I wonder how the old man would know that he had injured the eagle with a stone, could the old man still be able to talk to this iron-beaked phoenix?

Or maybe this iron-mouthed phoenix can tell the old man what happened with a voice that the old man could understand?

Bai Yang pondered in his heart, hurriedly bowed to the old man, and said: "Uncle invited! Just because the younger generation saw that your divine bird was bright and beautiful, it was really the same as the legendary divine bird Phoenix!

Bai Yang's words were not patting the old man's ass, his intuition told him that this bird could understand human speech, so his rather sensual words were actually said to this iron-billed phoenix.

Sure enough, the old man's tense skin soon relaxed, and the bird showed even more pleasure, and suddenly flapped its wings and flew up, until it flew to the top of the poplar's head, circled twice above the poplar's head, and returned to the old man's shoulder to stand still.

"This stupid bird, two kind words from people will make you so happy!"

The old man had a strange mouth on his mouth, but his face showed infinite love, and he took the bird down and gently combed its colorful feathers in his arms.

The bird clucked twice, as if to protest against the old man calling it stupid.

"Okay, okay, our Xiaofeng is not a stupid bird, it's the smartest bird, right?"

The old man laughed, raised his head, and looked at Poplar and the other three again.

Brother Miao hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to the old man, and said, "The kid meets the old man Fengxiang! The kid is also a Miao person, a member of the Nanshan clan!"

"Nanshan clansmen, why did you come to Wuyun Mountain?" Old man Feng Xiang said lightly and waved his hand, "Okay, you are not from my clan, there is no need to be so respectful to me!"

As he spoke, the old man glanced at the poplar iron bull again, his eyes fell on the poplar, and said, "You little brother is very good at talking, but you Han people, what are you doing in the territory of our Miao people?"

Bai Yang hesitated for a moment, but still said respectfully: "The younger generation usually likes to write articles, and this time I made a special trip to Wuyun Mountain to feel the most primitive customs and habits of the aristocracy!"

"Oh?" the old man Feng Xiang looked at the poplar cautiously, and shook his head for a long time, "That old witch in Wuyun Village is not easy to talk to! In this way, for the sake of my little phoenix like you, you put those few phoenix feathers pecked by the eagle in your jacket pocket, and when you enter the dark cloud village, everyone in the village has to see how much face my old man has! Even that old witch doesn't dare to do anything to you!"

Poplar was overjoyed, and Tie Niu saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately held the eagle with injured wings, bowed his waist and handed it to the old man, and said: "This eagle's wings are injured, we don't dare to deal with it, so let the old man deal with it!"

The old man nodded approvingly, and reached out to take the eagle.

The iron-billed phoenix fluttered its wings, returned to the old man's shoulder to rest, and barked at the iron bull twice, seemingly approving of the iron bull's actions.

Then the old man held the eagle in both hands and turned and walked towards the woods.

The iron-billed phoenix flew up again, spun around twice in the air, and clucked as it turned.

Poplar felt that he really liked himself, and he was happy in his heart, so he hurriedly raised his hand, shook it at the bird, and shouted loudly: "Goodbye, Divine Bird, I hope I can see you again in the future!"

He regarded the bird as if he were a friend, and the bird did not know whether he understood his words or felt his heart, and then "clucked" twice, and then flapped his wings and disappeared behind the forest.

The three of them watched the direction of the iron-billed phoenix disappearing, and Tie Niu sighed: "This bird is really human, if only my family could raise such a bird!"

"Everyone wants to raise it, but they can't raise it!" Brother Miao followed the interface, "Many Miao people have tried to pair big roosters with golden chickens or ordinary pheasants, but the results are either like domestic chickens or pheasants, and they can't fly at all, let alone fight with eagles!"

Bai Yang nodded and didn't say more, but lowered his head, found a few colored feathers that had been pecked by the eagle, and divided the longer two ones to Tie Niu and Brother Miao, and the remaining two shorter ones were inserted in his jacket pocket.

It's a little shorter, but it's still a big piece of the pocket that you can see at a glance.

After that, Brother Miao still led the way and walked in the direction of Wuyun Village.

Tie Niu asked, "Is the old man Fengxiang from Wuyun Village?" Why did he say that the people in Wuyun Village should look at his face?"

"I don't know the specifics! But legend has it that the old man Feng Xiang is nearly 100 years old, and he used to be a person from Wuyun Village, but then he had a conflict with a witch doctor in Wuyun Village, so he moved out of Wuyun Village. There are also legends that the witch doctor who has a conflict with the old man Feng Xiang is the wife of the old man Feng Xiang, and I don't know if it's true. ”

"Old man Fengxiang said that there is an old witch in Wuyun Village, it should be the witch doctor you said, right?" asked Bai Yang.

"It should be!" Brother Miao nodded and glanced at the poplar iron cow, "Do you know who has the highest status in our Miao Village?"

"It should be...... The owner of the village, or the patriarch, right?" Iron Bull asked, smiling.

"What kind of village owner, do you think it's a bandit's den?" Brother Miao glared at Tie Niu dissatisfied.

"He likes to talk casually, but he doesn't mean to be offended!" said Poplar hurriedly.

Brother Miao snorted, and then said: "The patriarch does, but the patriarch is not the person with the highest status in Miao Village. The highest status is the witch doctor. They can not only listen to the destiny of heaven, know good and bad, but also heal their people. There are some ......"

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, and it took a long time for him to answer: "That's what you said yesterday, you can raise Gu and use Gu." ”

When he said this, he closed his mouth.

Bai Yang knew that he couldn't ask the reason again, so he only said, "Are these witch doctors all women?"

"Yes, most of them are women! There are male witch doctors, but they are very rare!"

"Then it seems that the main reason why we entered the village this time is to make a good impression in front of this witch doctor!" said Tie Niu.

He rarely speaks so seriously, probably because he was reprimanded by Brother Miao for the word "village owner" before.

The three of them talked and walked to the foot of the Dark Cloud Mountain.

A short climb up the hill to the foot of the mountain, I saw a row of tall fence walls blocking the path up the mountain.

It is strange to look at the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, and it feels like the mountainside is surrounded by dark clouds.

But now when I reached the mountainside, I saw a clear sky. There were some light clouds and mist, but they weren't as thick as they could be seen from a distance.

The three of them didn't dare to break in, so they stood outside the fence wall of Wuyun Village, and Brother Miao tore his throat and shouted twice in Miao language.

Soon, a crack in the fence wall was removed, and a young man came out and looked Poplar and the other three defensively up and down.

Brother Miao smiled all over his face, and stepped forward to say a few words of Miao to the man.

The man never said a word, but when Brother Miao finished speaking, he pointed to the ground with his finger, signaled Bai Yang and the others to wait in place, and he closed the fence door again.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the fence door opened, and a slender middle-aged man walked out.

The man was followed by two young men, one of whom preemptively said a word in Miao language, probably introducing the identity of the slender man.

Brother Miao hurriedly bowed to the slender man, and introduced to Baiyang Tie Niu in Chinese: "This is the steward in the village, you can be the deputy patriarch!"

Poplar Tie Niu also hurriedly saluted the man.

The man looked at the poplar Tie Niu a few more times, and then asked, "You are Han people who write books, and you want to come to live with us for a few days to experience life?"

He spoke Chinese fluently, so Bai Yang hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, we will only stay for two or three days at most, and we will never dare to break your rules here!"

"If you Han people want to write a book, just write about your Han people's affairs, why do you want to go to our Miao Village to experience life? What's more, if you want to live here for a few days, I'm afraid that no one may be willing to keep you!"

Bai Yang was afraid that he would say too much and commit the taboo of Miao Village, so he could only turn his head to look at Brother Miao.

Brother Miao hurriedly said a few words to the man in Miao again.

The man didn't pay much attention to Brother Miao, but just looked at the Cailing in the pocket of the poplar iron bull's jacket, and suddenly asked, "Have you met Old Man Fengxiang?"

"Yes!" Bai Yang hurriedly replied, "Thanks to his old man's kindness, he gave us these few colored feathers, let us stick them in our chests and come to Miao Village!"

"What a vision the old man has, he can actually see you in his eyes, so I'll take you to meet the patriarch!"

As soon as the slender man finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the village, and Poplar Tie Niu and Brother Miao hurriedly followed. Someone else closed the gate.

The mountain is soothing, and there is a fairly wide mountain road in the middle, and there are houses on both sides of the road.

These houses are very different from the Han Chinese houses, and they are all made of bamboo and wood.

Most of them are low-rise shacks, but there are also a few small bamboo buildings that are quite delicate.

Bai Yang once asked Brother Miao about the customs and customs of Miao Village, and knew that in a village like Wuyun Village that maintains primitive living customs, all property is basically public, and private property is extremely rare.

Therefore, those who can afford to live in bamboo buildings are not wealthy families, but people with higher status in the village.
