The secret is that although there are very few birds and birds that can live to die a natural death, it is not nothing. Every year, some birds know that their life is approaching, and they will have a peculiar behavior.

These dying birds, knowing that their life span has come to an end, will quietly search for a dead tree, find the highest branch, and perch on the branch, waiting for death to come.

The bird creates an invisible aura that will be automatically avoided by other creatures that pass by, and will not bother it until it dies.

During the time when the birds are waiting for death, they will not move half a step, regardless of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, or severe cold and heat. Every day, it secretes a blood-colored saliva from its body, which spits on the branches it perches on.

This period of time can be as long as more than a month, and as short as about a week.

And the bird's body will also change over time.

Its feathers will gradually fall off and fly away with the wind. Its body also gradually weathered, until when it is time to die, the bird's body will become stiff and fall from the branches.

In the place where the birds roost, only the blood-colored saliva that the birds vomit every day has congealed into balls and stuck to the branches.

And when the bird's body falls, a new leaf will grow on the branch on which it stands. The whole dead tree, there is only this new leaf. This is because, before dying, in order to thank the branch for giving it its last habitat before it died, the bird gave the last bit of aura in its life to the branch.

The new leaf gradually grows, enveloping the blood-colored saliva ball that the bird spits out every day, eventually forming a bead the size of a glass ball. This bead is called the Bird Elixir.

The formation of this bird's nest is a bit like a bird's nest, which is a nest built by swiftlets and a variety of swallows of the same genus with saliva and down feathers, which is extremely precious.

And this elixir is even more precious, because no one will know which dead tree the bird will find before it dies. After the elixir is formed, it is either eaten by other birds, or blown down by the wind and falls into the dust. Therefore, there are very few people who can get the Bird Spirit Pill, and there are even fewer people in the world who know this secret.

And this kind of dead tree that is used by birds, because it absorbs the aura of birds, will attract more birds. Over time, the tree will also become full of aura.

The dead tree that the bird king Qin Wuyu moved from played this role.

The white-headed turtledove beside Qin Wuyu had reached the end of its lifespan, and it stood on the branch of this dead tree waiting for death.

After the death of the white-headed turtle dove, new leaves bloom on the branches, and the blood-colored saliva is wrapped, which also forms the bird elixir.

More and more dying birds are flying, causing the dead tree to bloom new leaves and form a finch elixir frequently. The dead tree absorbed the purification of the sun and the moon, and the aura of heaven and earth should have been able to be resurrected. However, the dead tree will spread its aura through its roots, suppressing the resentment of the dry bones underground and the zombie qi emitted by the insect corpses. A balanced situation was formed.

However, over the years, because the cliff valley has been used as the execution place of the cliff burial, it has led to a full of yin energy. The yin qi on the ground and the insect stiffness qi on the ground complement each other and become stronger and stronger.

And the old dead tree is no longer suitable to be a bird

The child's last habitat, the aura is also becoming less and less. Until a hollow hole is formed in the middle of the trunk that leads to the ground.

Zhou Zheng finished talking about these lightly, which indeed made us solve a lot of mysteries.

Ma Jian stared at Zhou Zheng and asked, "How did you know these things?" ”

Zhou Zheng lazily stretched his waist and said, "Teacher, in fact, my ancestor is surnamed Zou, not Zhou." ”

"Zou? Insect King Zou Baizu...... You're his ......"

"That's right. I am the descendant of Zou Baizu, the king of insects. I know these things from a book handed down from my ancestors, and there is also a map in that book, which draws the specific location of the cliff valley, saying that the insect king Zou Baizu was buried in the cliff valley. And...... He's not dead yet......"

Zhou Zheng's words surprised us all.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zheng turned out to be the descendant of Zou Baizu, the insect king. Seeing Zhou Zheng's outfit, I suddenly turned around and glanced at the person standing on the altar. So, is this person Zou Baizu, the insect king of the year? He's not dead? How can it be?

Seeing our surprised expressions, Zhou Zheng laughed: "That's right, you read that right. He is my ancestor, Zou Baizu. I took great pains to find this place. Although the map marked the location of the cliff valley, it was not very detailed, and many place names have been changed now. All I know is that it's in Zhuyang Mountain. In that book, there are also many introductions to insects, including many rare ancient insects that have existed since ancient times. Although the insect king Zou Baizu has been buried underground, his aura is still there, and these rare ancient insects will gather at the place where he is buried. So if you find these ancient insects, you will find Zou Baizu. ”

Ma Tan then analyzed: "So, you chose paleontology from another discipline back then, and after you were admitted to graduate school, you transferred to my disciple, just to learn more about these ancient insects, and then find the burial place of Zou Baizu." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded: "That's right." But at that time, I also read the book handed down by my ancestors, and I became very interested in insects. I also want to learn more from you. As for whether I can find Zou Baizu, I don't have hope. After all, after he and Qin Wuyu were defeated, they thought that they had no face to survive, so they changed their surname to Zhou. And later, it was also he who found someone to do the ghost in Nanliu Village, separating the villagers and Qin Wuyu. After all, he is the king of insects, and it is easy for him to make the villagers sick and healed. His approach has hurt hundreds of lives in the village, and I don't agree with this kind of behavior. So in my opinion, my surname is Zhou, his surname is Zou, and the two of us have no necessary connection. ”

"And what about later...... Why are you so persistent later, didn't you also become mad, and even killed Wen Youyou, what is the difference between your brute behavior and Zou Baizu. It's just that the current social environment makes it impossible for you to kill so many people. If you do this, you can't even do the brainless, mindless bugs you studied. Ma Jian angrily accused Zhou Zheng.

Ma Yan's words were not in a good tone. I think this is probably the most vicious thing he can say.

I'm also afraid that Zhou Zheng will be angry and call those poisonous insects right

We go on the offensive.

But Zhou Zheng didn't seem to think so. He still maintained a relaxed expression, without the slightest anger.

In fact, in my opinion, such a Zhou Zhengze is even more terrifying.

He is not in a hurry or annoyed, and is likely to be confident. Even though there were five of us on our side, he wasn't afraid of us running away. He even admitted to killing Wen Youyou, obviously it is impossible for us to get out alive.

Zhou Zheng had a playful expression on his face and asked Ma Yan: "Teacher, do you know what I don't like about you the most?" ”
