Chapter Ninety-One: The Ugly Duckling
Qiao Nai is worthy of being one of the six famous catches in the six doors, and she has a rare ruthlessness towards others and herself, she saw Qin Hunt's casual appearance, she actually raised her hand and slapped herself fiercely, the red palm print hung on her face, and she almost didn't break her appearance.
Qiao Naihe's loud slap stopped the hiccups in her throat, and she trembled and shook the natal magic weapon "Nine-Tailed Whip" in the shape of a dry tobacco stick, posing as a loyal and good general with great righteousness, and emphasized again: "Qin Hunt! The case of the disappearance of the gourd baby should belong to our six doors, and it is not your turn to interfere as a private person! ”
Qin Zhan was a little surprised by Qiao Naihe's perseverance and toughness, he couldn't help but nod slightly in admiration, raised his hand and patted Zhang Hao's shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Zhang Hao, aren't you responsible for the activities of the six doors in Ping'an City?" You decide if you want to take these kittens with you. ”
Zhang Hao didn't think about it, Qin Zhan also threw a hot potato to him, he glanced at the upright cat Qingtian Qiao, which made him, a grassroots corrupt element, a little stunned, so he nodded and said softly: "The matter of the gourd baby...... How to deal with it is another matter, but it is true that there must be people from our six doors to keep an eye on it, otherwise we can't talk about it from above. ”
Qin Zhan smiled and stopped talking, just silently locked the door, and raised his head again and shouted: "Xiao Yu~"
As soon as the words fell, a blue figure swept in like a hurricane, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Hunt's chief mount, Lan Xiaoyu, stood in front of Qin Hunt in disheveled clothes and sleepy-eyed, with a delicate little mouth that couldn't stop yawning.
"Young master, it's early......" Lan Xiaoyu rubbed his eyes, raised his hand to say hello, and muttered again: "Young master, I haven't eaten breakfast yet...... Hey, hey, hey......"
"If you want a horse to run, how can you not let the horse eat grass? Don't worry, breakfast is full, wonton noodles xiaolongbao, you can pick whatever you want! Qin Zhan pinched Lan Xiaoyu's baby fat cheek dotingly, and said warmly.
"Hoohoo! I knew that the young master was the best! I want to eat steamed buns! Big buns that the dog ignores! Lan Xiaoyu happily grabbed Qin Zhan's hand and shook it, his two big watery eyes were shining with joy, and they were like two round mirrors, full of Qin Zhan's smiling face, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest gap for others.
"Jingle bell", as soon as the bicycle bell rang, Lan Xiaoyu had already transformed into a blue phoenix bicycle, and the wheels were grunting against the stone road of the laneway, circling around Qin Hunt.
"Hey, this demonic aura is a bit weird, it seems to be a bird...... This speed is already at the level of supernatural powers, is it a talent or a skill...... What exactly is the original form of this harpie? It can't really be a bicycle that has become a fine, right? ”
Qiao Nai frowned, carefully looked at Lan Xiaoyu, the uninvited guest, as if wondering, if one day he was ordered to arrest Qin Hunt, the black-hearted doctor, and Qin Hunt rode Lan Xiaoyu to escape, would he have the ability to catch them.
"Senior sister......" He Yiyao also came back to her senses in a daze at this time, she wiped her face wet with her own saliva, and hid behind Qiao Nai He with her head down in shame, secretly glanced at the cat from time to time, and muttered in dismay: "Hey, the prototype of this little demon is rare......"
He Yiyao's pair of opal-like beautiful eyes have been glowing green since she saw Lan Xiaoyu, and she muttered while watching: "Judging from the demonic attributes, the exercise she cultivates seems to be the "Phoenix Wing Tianxiang Gong", this exercise can only be fully exerted by the phoenix bloodline, and it is also compatible with the goblins of the peacock bloodline, but it is ......half the effort to cultivate."
"But...... If the cultivator's bloodline is a mortal bird, I am afraid that the supernatural power of the original version of the exercise can only exert one or two percent, and it can often only make its flight speed reach the peak......"
"It's weird, this bird demon, his magical powers are not practiced on the wings, but on the waist and legs? What kind of bird is it that can't fly but is good at running? ”
He Yiyao's eyes were blazing, and she was observing and analyzing Lan Xiaoyu's true body with every hint of time, but in the blink of an eye, she saw through everything and said something to the sky!
"Your prototype...... Actually, it's an ostrich! Your master should be a peacock who has practiced "Phoenix Wing Tianxiang Gong"! Yes and no? ”
He Yiyao raised her hand and pointed at Lan Xiaoyu with a determined face, showing the sassy demeanor of a certain elementary school god of life and death who "has only one truth"!
The blue phoenix bicycle came to an abrupt end.
Lan Xiaoyu turned into a human form again, her eyes were full of tears, her mouth was pursed, and her face was full of grievances.
"I'm Phoenix! My prototype is a blue phoenix! Lan Xiaoyu cried so hard that she screamed hoarsely, she stomped her feet heavily, and even the thick bluestone slabs stepped out of spiderweb-like cracks.
Lan Xiaoyu patted his barren chest boastfully, snorting and shouting, "I am the overseas phoenix that Zheng He's father-in-law found in Africa!" Naturally, it looks a little different from the Chinese Phoenix, don't talk nonsense if you don't have knowledge! Emperor Zhu Di personally praised me for being an auspicious descendant! ”
Lan Xiaoyu also raised his hand and pointed to Qin Hunt's right eye, crying and laughing, and said, "My young master has fiery eyes, and he says that I am a phoenix, who has reason to refute it?" The young master also told me the story of "The Ugly Duckling", he told me that just like the ugly duckling will one day become a white swan, I am still young, and I can't fly in my fledglings, but sooner or later one day I will grow seven-colored feathers and become a phoenix soaring in the sky! ”
"Am I right, young master?"
Qin Hunt's head was full of black lines, he glared at the nosy He Yiyao hatefully, his mouth was silent, and he scolded He Yiyao with his mouth: "You think you are smart in the world?!" ”
He Yiyao's calculation is correct, Lan Xiaoyu is indeed not a mythical beast phoenix, but an African ostrich.
In that year, Zheng He went to the West seven times, in addition to burning money to promote the national prestige, and secretly exploring the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, he also collected some overseas rare and exotic beasts for Zhu Di, the usurper of the Ming Dynasty, and dedicated them to the palace in the name of auspicious beasts, creating a kind of public opinion trend of the Ming monarch's reign auspicious rebirth.
Politics is complicated to play, but some of the tactics are also simple and crude.
Zhao Gao has played the set of "pointing the deer as a horse", Liu Bang has also played the set of "The Red Emperor Cutting the White Snake", and Zheng He has collected some overseas rare and exotic beasts as auspicious beasts, which is already quite a pure method.
In ancient times, when albinos could be called auspicious, crocodiles became "dragons", giraffes became "unicorns", and ostriches became "phoenixes...... This is not the author's nonsense, history is sometimes such nonsense.
Zhu Di, the son of heaven, has approved Lan Xiaoyu's "phoenix" identity, whether others believe it or not, at least Lan Xiaoyu himself believes it, and the animals in the Royal Beast Garden also believe it! A peacock spirit who lived in seclusion in the Imperial Beast Garden for the elderly, suddenly found that he was lucky, and when he was old, he was able to meet a master disciple who was enough to inherit "Phoenix Wing Tianxiang Gong".
This interesting misunderstanding, until the end of the Ming Dynasty wars, Lan Xiaoyu and her peacock master were separated has not been solved, more than 200 years, the peacock master has always been because of his lack of knowledge, can not teach Lan Xiaoyu this piece of "jade" to blame himself......
After Lan Xiaoyu fell into the Gray Clothes Alley, because of the cultivation of "Phoenix Wing Tianxiang Gong", the successive heads of the Qin family, the group of demons in the alley, and even Lan Xiaoyu herself, have always believed that she is a blue phoenix that has not yet developed.
Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, when China was pried open by the strong ships and cannons of the Western powers, many people of insight began to open their eyes to the world, and a certain head of the Qin family suddenly discovered that the scientific name of this little phoenix that had not developed for a long time was actually called Somali blue-necked ostrich......
However, the demon life is so difficult, there are some things that should not be exposed. In order to take care of Lan Xiaoyu's feelings, the Qin family and the residents of Gray Lane relied on white lies to warmly guard Lan Xiaoyu's ugly duckling dream.
Qin Zhan looked at the "famous detective" He Yiyao angrily, Lan Xiaoyu, who was crying with his hands around his face, his fiery eyes and golden eyes were magnificent, and the golden light flashed, which made He Yiyao's eyes hurt, so he could only cover his eyes and turn his head, trembling.
"Six doors are six doors after all, and there are many talents." Qin Zhan shook his head and said coldly: "I just cared about Qiao Nai's little black cat, but I didn't notice that there is a little white cat here?" ”
Qin Hunt's eyes were scorching, and he said with a sneer: "Although the ancestor of our Qin family is superb and has saved your life, the damaged spiritual veins are already extremely fragile, and you can't even cultivate the magic spells used in battle. However, you have worked hard for nearly a thousand years and cultivated this magical power of 'seeing people with cat's eyes'? ”
Not to be outdone, Qiao Nai stepped forward to respond for the baby junior sister: "Although it is not as famous as the fiery eye, if it is used to track the case and analyze the target, my junior sister's 'cat's eye to see people' is a magic skill that is more suitable for our six doors!" ”
"Didn't even reach the level of insight into human feelings? Are you embarrassed to say magic skills? Qin Zhan patted Lan Xiaoyu's thin back comfortingly, and suddenly said coldly: "If you want to talk about me, your junior sister's eyesight still needs to be practiced!" Such a beautiful little phoenix can't even recognize it, thousands of years of work are really in vain! ”
"You!" Qiao Nai He was about to refute, but He Yiyao pulled her sleeve to prevent her from continuing to anger Qin Zhan.
He Yiyao, who was like a weak willow in the wind, put on a reluctant smile that was quite unaccustomed, got out from behind Qiao Naihe, bowed her head slightly, and apologized sincerely: "This time I just took a shallow look at it, after all, I have never seen a rare divine beast like a phoenix in my life, so I guessed randomly." This phoenix sister, I can see the divine beast today, and her bearing and demeanor are really extraordinary, I have opened my eyes. ”
Lan Xiaoyu's personality is more childish, seeing He Yiyao's sincere apology, she immediately stopped being angry, she wiped her tears, turned her head and glanced at the corners of He Yiyao's stiff and twitching mouth, suddenly grinned, waved her hand generously and said, "It's okay, it's okay, phoenixes are relatively rare, of course you can't recognize them." Anyway, I forgive you this time! ”
