There is an island above the South Underworld, called Bird Island, which is one of the four islands in the South Underworld. The sage creatures cultivated by ordinary birds live here, and the master who rules them is called Suzaku.

On this day, a returnee came to the island, he was a white crane named Westbound. However, as soon as he returned to the island, he was summoned by the thirteenth Suzaku.

"Suzaku-sama, summoned below, I don't know what?"

"It's a little late, but I'm relieved that you'll be back safely," Suzaku said, "but your companion hasn't been heard from yet, and you smell of a disgusting human, can you tell me what's going on?"

"After we transformed into humans, our identities were revealed, and our companions were directly arrested, and after escaping, we still fell into a trap, but later we were rescued by a teenager in Xia...... "Westbound Road.

"I see, I've heard rumors about that boy from time to time," Suzaku said, "but I must warn you that the islanders who were rescued before are now all alienated, just because they are related to humans and have the smell of humans on their bodies......"

"I see......" Westbound said ashamedly.

"But I won't let that happen to you, I'll help you get rid of the smell of humanity," Suzaku said, "You are extremely talented and have cultivated into a great sage creature, and I am old and intend for you to inherit the position of Suzaku, so you don't want to be willing to fall." ”

"Thank you, sir......" Saiyuki said with a conflicted mood.

However, Saixing still had Shibei in mind, and every once in a while, he would fly to Shibei's hometown to check on his current situation. Finally, one day, bad luck struck......

"How...... What's going on...... "Ten Guards returned to the village, but saw that there was no one in the village.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of "squeak, chirp", and saw three or five monkeys flying past the eyes of the ten guards.

"Monkeys, are there any monkeys near the village?" thought to Shibei.

As he went deeper and deeper, he saw more and more animals, including carnivores such as lions and tigers, herbivores such as deer, and domestic animals such as cattle and sheep, but there were no figures. Although the Ten Guards were a little scared, the strange thing was that the animals did not prey on each other, and they did not react much when they saw the Ten Guards. Ten Guards didn't pay much attention to this, and he quickly ran back home.

"Mommy!" Ten Guards shouted desperately. However, instead of his parents, he saw two porcupines. The spikes on their bodies stood upright, as if they were about to keep the Ten Guards away.

He seemed to understand what was happening—that legendary curse had finally come upon him. He ran desperately, crying and fleeing, fleeing from his village. Suddenly, a wolf pounced on him from the front, and by this moment he had given up his resistance......

At that moment, the wolf let out a terrible scream, flew out, and fled. When the ten guards came to their senses, the white crane, which had always been beautiful, was already standing in front of him, and he was heading west.

"Do you remember me?" asked Westbound.

"You were the white crane ...... back then," Shibei said.

"That's right, thank you for remembering me. "But it was really dangerous just now, the wolf's humanity has obviously been replaced by wildness." ”

"The humanity of wolves, so they were cursed to become beasts?" said the Ten Guards, "What do I have to do to turn them back?"

"It's true as you say," said Westbound, "but unfortunately, you can't get back like that......"

"No...... No, I don't believe there's going to be a way......" Shibei said, "Please, take me to your hometown, since it's the source of the curse, I'm sure you'll find a way to break the curse when you get there." ”

"No, it's too messy!" Westward refused.

"I remember you said you wanted to repay me, didn't you?" In that case, then please take me over......" Shibei said, "It doesn't matter if you still don't agree, I'll go to sea there by myself, if I die in a shipwreck, then you will never have a chance to repay me......"

Xixing's heart was shocked, and he said secretly: "This kid is really ......" He then snorted and said: "Since you can't resist you, don't regret it, hurry up and hold on to my feet." ”

"Thank you...... Thank you!" said Jubei gratefully.
