"And then, was it the Divine Bird that appeased the anger of Groudor and Gaioca?" The lover asked.

"It was the Rift Sky Seat known as the Sky Dragon that quelled the anger of the two legendary Pokémon, but under the invasion of landslides and ground cracks, hurricanes and tsunamis, it was the sacred bird I said who sheltered the ancestors."

Hearing the red-haired girl's explanation, the lover was not surprised, and I am afraid that only the cracked empty seat can make Groudor and Gaioca stop fighting.

As for the divine bird that the girl said, the lover was full of doubts.

"This divine bird, is it the Phoenix King, but the Phoenix King is active in the legends and stories of the Chengdu area, and the Phoenix King, the only divine beast in the world, must have his own duties and territories, and it is impossible to run to the Fangyuan Continent to protect the ancient human race so leisurely."

"Could it be a fallen mythical beast or an extinct bird Pokémon in ancient times?"

As the darling of this world, the power of the divine beast is immeasurable, and it may not be so easy to fall, and the lover believes in this ordinary bird Pokémon whose strength has reached the threshold of a low-level divine beast.

"Is the 'Sacred Bird Festival' a sacrificial celebration that has been passed down from generation to generation after thanking the sacred bird for its protection?" Seeing that the girl was speechless, the lover asked again.

"Almost, under the protection of the sacred bird, the ancestors who migrated to this area officially settled down.

Although everyone is not related by kinship and does not have a common surname, the gratitude for the Divine Bird and the love for the Bird Pokémon are the same.

The festival is indeed a celebration of the Thanksgiving Bird, according to the literature of our birdmaster's lineage.

At first, the sacred bird would even appear to celebrate with the ancestors, but then the sacred bird no longer appeared, and no one ever saw the sacred bird again."

A tribe that has been inherited for thousands of years, so that it has always maintained cohesion, there is always only one, that is, the sense of identity with its own national culture.

Looking at the look on the face of the lively girl, the lover was quite touched.

Later, I don't know when the bodies of the deceased ancestors began to be sent to the forest where the sacred bird once lived for celestial burial.

The bird Pokémon companions of the deceased ancestors also entered the forest to continue their lives, and the former sacred bird forest slowly became the current "Forest of the Elders". ”

"With the advancement of time, there are more and more people buried in the forest of the elderly, and more and more elderly birds continue to live.

And every time at that time, a mirage of the divine bird will miraculously appear in the sky above the festival celebration square, as long as the bird Pokémon is grateful and in awe, and strives to fly towards the divine bird phantom, and finally will be blessed by the divine bird.

That's why the "Sacred Bird Festival" is a carnival for all Bird Pokémon trainers. ”

After explaining the history of the bird trainer in Yinyu City and the origin of the "Sacred Bird Festival", the red-haired girl turned her head to look at her beloved who was deep in thought, and her pretty face was full of anticipation.

"What is the blessing of that divine bird?" Hearing that there is a benefit, the beloved who was entitled to listen to the story at the beginning, his mind is also alive.

"What do you say about blessings? This varies from person to person, and each Pokémon that participates in the festival will receive a different blessing in the end.

However, it is broadly divided into several types:

One is to cleanse the mind, and Pokémon become smarter.

The second is to help Pokémon comprehend new skill moves, or improve the perception of skill use.

The third type is more special, it is to let the Pokémon pass on a will. ”

After listening to Liu Hong's explanation, the lover was also very surprised, according to his understanding, the so-called divine bird phantom should be some kind of spiritual carrier.

During the apocalyptic natural disasters in ancient times, the sacred bird sheltered the safety of the ancestors of the bird tamer, and although the bird disappeared later, the gratitude and reverence of the bird tamer to this sacred bird did not decrease.

Whether it is the person who is sent to the sacred bird forest for the burial, or the elder birds who continue to live in the forest, or the bird trainers who live in Yinyu City, they always believe in the legendary sacred bird.

Firmly believing that whether they live in the world or return to the ruins after death, the Divine Bird will always protect them, and under this strong spiritual will, it is not surprising that a Phantom of the Divine Bird can be blessed.

As for why there is a real blessing effect, the lover speculates that it may be related to the thousands of Pokémon in the "Forest of the Elders" described by Liu Hong.

As a carrier of will and faith, there is no problem at all in releasing a little spiritual energy to help Pokémon enlighten.

And helping Pokémon comprehend new skills is presumably a gift from Pokémon living or dead in the Forest of the Elders.

As for the third kind of blessing that Liu Hong said, inheriting a certain will, it sounds a bit mysterious, but according to the previous logic, it is also a spiritual gift.

"According to the elders in my family, although the Pokémon in my hand can participate in the celebration an unlimited number of times, the blessing obtained in the end is actually related to the Pokémon's strength and talent.

The higher the strength talent, whether it is the first or second blessing, you will get more Pokémon than the low-strength talent, but the will to inherit a Pokémon can only be passed on once in a lifetime. ”

Seeing that he was contemplative and didn't speak, the red-haired girl explained to herself that for the lover who had just known him for less than a day, Liu Hong didn't seem to have any precautions, and told him all the mysteries that many people didn't know.

"What the hell is this will, it feels very special." The lover asked suspiciously.

"Well-how to put it, the elders in my family said that the Pokémon's strength has reached level 50, and the liquid power in the body has condensed and transformed into a solid state, even if it touches the threshold of the Heavenly King level, and the will is the key to entering the Heavenly King level."

Seeing that her lover had doubts, Liu Hong did not reserve it, and directly told him what she knew.

"Level 50 liquid power condensation and transformation into a solid state is to touch the threshold of the Heavenly King, and is the 'will' the key to entering the Heavenly King?"

Listening to Liu Hong's words, the beloved's expression suddenly became serious, this information is too weighty for him, this is the mystery of breaking through the Heavenly King level.

"Anyway, I'm not a local, and I'm not in the same vein as your bird tamers in Yinyu City, can I also participate in the 'Divine Bird Festival'?"

After listening to what Liu Hong said, it is absolutely fake that the lover is not moved.

Half a month ago, at the gorgeous conference in Shuijing City, the battle of Tongyuan Zhi made him and the Pokémon at hand understand the gap between himself and the real powerhouse.

After training in the treacherous rainforest for a while, the eagle is now level 40, the dumb beast is level 39, and the iron shell is level 38.

He still has a long way to go from being a veteran Heavenly King like Genji, but with the help of the system, it is not too difficult for them to reach level 50 of the Quasi-Heavenly King compared to the eagle, the dumb beast, and the iron armor shell.

If you are lucky enough to inherit a will at this "Divine Bird Festival" sacrificial celebration of the bird tamer, then it will be a smooth road to the Heavenly King level in the future.

"Of course you can participate, our bird trainer lineage is not as closed and xenophobic as those inheritance clans, and the 'Divine Bird Festival' sacrificial celebration every five years, as long as you have a bird Pokémon in your hands, you can participate."

Seeing that his lover was worried, Liu Hong explained with a smile, dispelling his worries.

“……”

After the two chatted for a while about the sacrifice of the Divine Bird Festival, Liu Hong did not forget the business of her lover, and called Naqi to ask about the battle in the gym.

"Sister Naki said that you can accept your gym battle, but you can't wait until the end of the Divine Bird Festival celebration."

"That's right." The beloveds who received the reply were not disappointed.

The "Sacred Bird Festival" is a major event held only once every five years in Inyu City, and Naki, as the owner of the gym, must be very busy during this time.

The other party, who was originally closed for half a month, was willing to take the time to accept his gym challenge after the end of the Divine Bird Festival, and the beloved was already satisfied, and he also wanted to participate in this "Divine Bird Festival" celebration.

"By the way, brother beloved, my eldest brother happened to come back from the "Forest of the Elders" this afternoon, do you want to have a battle with my eldest brother, my eldest brother's strength is very strong~"

Seeing that his lover didn't speak, Liu Hong thought that he was a little disappointed because he couldn't challenge the gym right away, and thought that his eldest brother happened to come back today, so he couldn't help but propose with great interest.

"Your big brother?" Turning his head and glancing at the lively girl beside him, the lover was a little puzzled.

"The Forest of the Elders is the resting place of the deceased, and it is also a place where the elderly of birds live in seclusion, and they are not allowed to enter and disturb whether they are clansmen or outsiders."

"At the end of the five-year period, before the 'Sacred Bird Festival' is held, each family in the clan will send a team of juniors under the age of 18 to enter the 'Forest of the Elders' barefoot in traditional costumes to sweep the graves and worship."

"My eldest brother is the "head of worship" of this year's tomb sweeping team, and he led the other thirty juniors in the clan into the forest of elders half a month ago, and today is the day when the tomb sweeping team returns."

"Alas~ I heard that the descendants who entered the "Forest of the Elders" to sweep the tombs before the celebration of the 'Sacred Bird Festival' will receive much more blessings from the sacred birds at the celebration than others." Speaking of this, Liu Hong, who was originally happy, couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh~" the lover replied lightly.

Liu Hong's words made him even more convinced of his guess that the so-called Divine Bird Phantom should be the product of the spiritual belief of the bird tamer, and the blessing was a gift from ten thousand birds in the Forest of the Elders.

"Since there are such benefits, then why don't you participate, can each family only send one representative to sweep the grave?" The lover asked curiously.

"No, according to the rules set by the clan, only boys can enter the "Forest of the Elders" to sweep the grave." Liu Hong is very angry about this 'patriarchal' rule in the clan.

"I see." The lover nodded.

It seems that the birdtamer line seems to be open, but as a force that has lasted for thousands of years, the clan also has some closed characteristics like other inheritance clans.

After all, the bloodline, inheritance, and continuation ......of a clan, in a certain closed traditional concept, are often directly linked to the inheritance of men, and the status of women who will marry outside is often lower.

"I'll call a few good girlfriends first, and how about we go to see the tomb sweeping and return later?" Liu Hong, who was depressed for a while, regained her liveliness in a blink of an eye.

The advantage of "good~" travel is that you can learn about various customs and customs, and now that there is such an opportunity, the lover will naturally not refuse.
