124 · Poor Qi
It is said that the Tentori Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Purgatory, but no one can confirm the veracity of this claim. The Celestial Bird Cemetery seems to have come from the mouths of animals that walk upright on two legs - they call themselves "people" because the strange symbol "people" represents the two legs they are most proud of, but in the eyes of the poor Qi, they are so ignorant that if the ignorant and lowly creatures that walk on two legs are called "people", the birds with wings should be called "big".
To Qi Qi's coincidental thought, the word "big" seems to symbolize nobility and sublime in the hearts of animals that move upright on two legs. This is the embodiment of the gods who God has asked them to rule over "man".
Those who show up in Purgatory, which is called "Purgatory" by "people", are very annoyed to wonder why the place where they live should be named by someone else—often remembers that they were once the subjects of the "Great Emperor", and they are happy to use this method to seek identity, and when someone is surprised to tell another that they are the same "Great Emperor" people, they always cheer for a while, as if they can forget their troubles for a while.
Strange wonders: why do "people" get excited to know that they are slaves of the same person?
However, he did not dwell on this issue, but naturally believed that it was also a manifestation of the gods - that "man" was born to be slaves.
Poor Qi was paying homage to his mother, who had died in the battle of the Birdmen, and he stared silently at the small mound.
His mother had been so big, and her wings were so hard that he could block all human attacks, and he never thought that such a mother would die. She died at the hands of the Yellow Emperor, and the savage slave stabbed her mother's wings with a spear made of the scales of the relict fish, piercing her body.
Brute!
She was now a yellowed white skeleton, unable to sing gracefully.
Qiqi spread his wings sadly, looked at the faint sky in the distance, and couldn't help but sing loudly.
His voice is so beautiful that the birds always rush to worship his song. After realizing that he was not mediocre, he rarely showed his singing voice again.
Scarcity is precious, and let those lowly birds and people understand that his voice is a treasure in the world.
The song became more and more sad and emotional, and the white-eyed and yellow-eyed birds on the side left tears one after another.
It wasn't long before the hens who served him climbed up to the Celestial Bird Cemetery with their heads down, and they were not allowed to face Qiqi squarely.
"Lord Qiqi, Emperor Shaohao is called an adult. She nervously reported.
This is also one thing that makes Qi Qi feel unhappy - his name is taken by "Ren", and even the name of his father "Emperor Shaohao" comes from the mouth of the Yellow Emperor. The Father told him that this was the shame of the Interesting Bird Nation (and the name of the man!), and that they must take it to heart until they conquered the arrogant and obscene, and let them sing their prestige in the language of birds.
Every time Qi Qi hears "Qi Qi" and "Emperor Shaohao", he will silently recite this shame in his heart.
"Got it. ”
He flapped his huge and thick wings and motioned for the female bird to leave, and then flew up leisurely and flew towards the palace of Emperor Shaohao.
It didn't take long for him to pass the interesting Bird Country's place where food was stored - people - and he looked down at the people below him, who were always crying.
It's been hundreds of years, and they're really energetic.
Poor Odd was tired of the sight. When he was a child, he liked to play tricks on food, but now he is completely uninterested, and he can even distinguish the hundreds of people by crying, but he has never been able to count how many there are. It's weird.
He visited his father countless times to protest that he was tired of eating their meat and needed to replace it with new food, but his father repeatedly refused.
This time it was different, it seems that the father finally couldn't bear the monotony of food and decided to go south to recruit slaves.
Qi Qi was overjoyed, he lowered his flight altitude and slashed across the granary full of human slaves, and bit off a head with a big mouth.
He chewed for a moment, then quickly sucked the skull clean, and then spat out the skull and indigestible hairs for the young birds below. The birds like to push their heads back and forth, and people seem to have a similar movement called "Keju".
It's people again!
It was said that he looked like a lion, but he had the wings of an eagle, and it was terrible.
This is the most stupid thing about people in Qiqi's opinion—obviously those lions who can only run stupidly on land are like him, but those simple-minded people have no basic logic at all, and they can't even tell the cause and effect of things.
What hopeless guys.
With words in his heart, he landed smoothly in front of the hall platform made of thick locust tree poles, and strode into the palace with his head held high.
"See Father. Poor Qi marched forward with a grin, and a whole wind swept up.
The huge palace covers the sky and the sun, and many white-eyed birds are sitting in danger, and in the center is their king, Emperor Shaohao.
Emperor Shaohao had a huge leaf hanging on his head, his whole body was hidden in the darkness, and his huge wings were refracting and diffracting light, emitting colorful light as brilliant and magnificent as jade.
Qi Qi admired his father's wings very much—they were definitely the most beautiful wings in the entire bird clan, and they were completely in line with his father's status. As for who has the second most beautiful wings. Although Qi Qi is unwilling, he can only admit that the wings of the ghost car bird are rare in the world, her wings are less colored than her father, less domineering, but more feminine and soft, Qi Qi was attracted by her wings flying high jade face more than once in his childhood, until he heard that the ghost car bird used to be the Yellow Emperor's mount.
On the day he learned the news, he was furious and asked his father if it was true, and he nodded in agreement.
Since then, the ghost car bird has plummeted in Qiqi's heart, and he doesn't care whether she can't help herself or not.
She once knelt down under the Yellow Emperor's crotch, which was enough to despise the ghost car.
Standing in the middle of the palace and noticing that the atmosphere was a little strange, he immediately glanced at the participants—the vulture, the dove, the Chongming bird, the Qin Yuan, and the Gu eagle, all of whom were aggressive birds, and the horned eagle and the chattering snow owl were not.
In the face of these birds, Qi Qi was afraid of three points, because they were all veterans who followed Emperor Shaohao to fight in the north and south.
"Sit. Emperor Shaohao flapped his wings.
Qi Qi crossed his legs and lay on his stomach in the outermost position.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Vulture reported: "Five hundred miles south of the central mountain has been controlled by us, and there is no sign of human resistance at present. ”
Qi Qi absentmindedly listened to Wang Vulture's front-line battle report.
He didn't like the vulture very much. Wang Vulture was too upright, he was beaten a lot by him for neglecting training when he was a child, but his father always stood by Wang Vulture's side. Qi Qi understood that Wang Vulture was for his good, but the shadow of his childhood could not be dissipated.
He wandered and wondered, when exactly did "man" become "human", and what did that "class" mean?
"The area under our control is centered on the central mountain, which basically extends in an arc," the eagle's curved claws were pointed on the animal skin map in the middle of the main hall, "There should still be people in the northwest and northeast, and the advance team has gone to capture them, and it is estimated that those areas can be controlled within three months." ”
Without the Yellow Emperor, mankind would be a plate of scattered sand. The Gu Eagle smirked.
Qi Qi didn't like Gu Eagles even more. He's cold and obscene, and like those people, he likes to use his crooked brain and make him sick.
"We can't jump to conclusions," the vulture glanced at him, "it seems that there is a new leader among the human race, and his power is not strong enough, and we must deal with him before we can rise to the occasion." ”
"Who is it? Leave it to me?" the belligerent Chongming Bird was eager to try, and Qin Yuan, who was sitting next to him, shook his small head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The Tibetan canal bird has gone. The vulture glanced at him, a look in his eyes reproaching him for not caring about the previous tactical arrangement.
Chongmeitori didn't seem to realize this, only said regret, and asked that next time there was a strong opponent, he must let him go first.
Qiqi knew that this was impossible, and that the Bird was a guardian warrior of the Bird Country. However, he was curious about what kind of person he needed to send out the Tibetan Canal.
"There are two more pieces of news coming from the Yellow Emperor Mountain," said Wang Vulture solemnly, "and one of them is that the vulture is dead. ”
How did this always steady vulture feel when he told his brother's bad news?
He only knew that the vulture was a yellow-pupiled bird, and the king vulture, who was a white-pupiled bird, was ashamed of the vulture, and the two rarely met, but no matter how they said it, they hatched from adjacent eggs, so they must feel sad, right?
Wang Vulture's voice did not waver, but Qi Qi heard from it that he was determined to take revenge.
He continued: "Second, Huang Aimian broke his oath that he killed the vulture. ”
"Emperor Shaohao, I said a long time ago not to make an oath with that beast, he will definitely betray us!"
Poor Qi wanted to laugh every time he heard him speak. The water dove is obviously a bird that kills people with poison, why is he so impetuous, he must not be able to do this.
"Aren't we ready to break our oath?" Emperor Shaohao asked coldly, "If you want to think about its benefits, you must think about its harms, and if you want to think about its success, you must think about its defeat." You should all know these truths. ”
Qi Qi admired his father the most.
He is always motionless and under control no matter what happens. Therefore, Qiqi always believed that it was his father's expedient measure to make an oath with the Yellow Emperor, and they would one day destroy people and completely crush people.
Kind.
Lately, everyone has been talking about "human", and Qiqi has forced himself to keep up with the trend.
"What Emperor Shaohao said is extremely true. As Emperor Shaohao's confidant, Wang Vulture also considered the possibility of Huang Aimian's rebellion, and he said, "This person is even close to me, and we need to get rid of him quickly." Dare to ask you, who volunteered to go to the hinterland of the south to arrest Huang Aimian?"
"My subordinates are willing to go. ”
Sure enough, the first one to open his mouth must be Chongming Bird.
Wang Vulture sighed: "There is something more important for you." ”
"What?"
"Defend the Bird Country. ”
The bird lowered his head in disappointment.
"Who else?"
Rarely, none of the birds made any more vocalizations.
What's going on? Are everybody afraid to go south? Poor Qi suddenly felt disdain for them, but he reacted immediately—
He would not normally be called to participate in war meetings, but this time was an exception.
He looked up at Emperor Shaohao.
A sharp gaze flashed from the dimly lit seat.
It's what my father meant!
"Father, the child is willing to go south, and he will definitely arrest Huang Aimian and return to China!" Qi Qi stood up majestically.
"Good. Emperor Shaohao flapped his wings and appreciated, and everyone else followed suit.
"Father, the child can leave now!" he had long wanted to taste the taste of the others.
Emperor Shaohao raised his wings: "Wait, you go with her, I want to see her loyalty." ”
Who's loyal? And the disloyal birds?
Could it be—
"I don't want to go with that bastard!" protested angrily, regardless of etiquette.
"Poor Qi, this is my father's order. "In the dark, the white eyeballs glow brightly.
Qi Qi gritted his teeth.
Why do you have to go with that human-bird mongrel?!
But he couldn't refuse, it was he who voluntarily offered to go to the south.
As he spoke, a red-eyed bird timidly walked into the palace and tiptoed up to Qi Qi, who was only half his height and so small.
Qiqi held his breath and felt that the air around him was polluted.
She had a face that resembled a bird, not a bird, her soft feathers could not hide the disgusting face peculiar to humans, and her limbs were no different from those of humans, with two rows of huge jade-white wings on her arms, and the end of her feathers was a flame-red color. I heard that she can't fly at all, and she's a complete freak.
"Take Yumin, let's go. ”
Emperor Shaohao seemed to be beating off Qiqi and flapped his wings lightly.
