Fleeing all the way to the far edge of the village, a small platform appeared in front of it, and a small courtyard surrounded by a fence made of large-leaved golden silk vines, and the courtyard was overgrown with strange flowers and plants.

Between the branches of the banyan tree holding the platform is a wooden house, which is very different from the other houses in the village.

Because of the hot and humid climate, the houses of the indigenous people are leaky on all sides, and they are only covered with leaves on the top, so that they can shelter from the rain, and privacy is not considered.

The walls of the wooden houses in the courtyard were tightly woven with tree branches, and the outside was covered with a layer of dry mud mixed with plant ash. There was not a single vent, and even the low, dog-like door was blocked with a covered wooden door.

"Old fellow, don't you want to die if you live in a stuffy jar on such a hot day?" The dragon spirit scolded angrily and went straight into the courtyard.

When I arrived at the door of the wooden house, I found that there was a huge bird in the shape of an ostrich nested behind the flowers and plants at the door, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

I saw the giant bird with a purple belly, an emerald green back and tail, a large fleshy red crown crooked on its head, and a large orange beak like a hornbill.

When the giant bird saw someone, he straightened his neck vigilantly, half-opened his mouth, tilted his head and looked at the visitor with a pair of small brown and red eyes.

The dragon spirit was a little curious when he saw this bird for the first time, but he was in a bad mood now and was not interested in studying this bird, so he scolded: "Ugly thing, what do you see?" Look at me stewing you again! ”

When he raised his foot and was about to kick the giant bird away, Cang Jizi suddenly woke up, patted the dragon spirit on the head and shouted, "Don't touch it!" ”

The dragon spirit was excited, hurriedly withdrew his foot, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Cang Jizi sighed and said, "Thanks to me waking up, otherwise you would have broken your stomach by now." ”

He pointed to the giant bird and said, "This is the most famous bird of prey in the jungle, how dare you kick it!" ”

"Isn't it fierce?" The dragon spirit hurriedly took two steps back.

Cang Jizi sneered: "This bird's name is poisonous dove, it eats snakes and insects, and it has a highly poisonous crown of its head, and it is the most ferocious earth-walking bird of prey. Its mouth and claws are sharper than a stone knife, and it can easily cut through the scale armor of a python. ”

The dragon looked at the poisonous dove's claws, and sure enough, they did not look like the three-pronged hooves of an ostrich, but the shape of a thick, sharp eagle's claws.

"The dove climbs trees very quickly and flies in the woods. It is the nemesis of snakes, and even a giant python several feet long has to flee when it encounters a poisonous dove. It can peck open a python's skull, or pull its spine out of its flesh with its claws. Do you think it's fierce or not? ”

Long Jing was frightened when he heard this, and took a few steps back, looked at the big bird in front of him from a distance, and said suspiciously: "Look at its stunned and obese appearance, it's not as powerful as you say." ”

"Ahem." Cang Jizi said with some embarrassment: "This poisonous dove was raised by the great wizard to clean up the poisonous snakes around the house. ”

"Alas, it's so good to be served, and you can't eat it, so ...... It's this stupid picture, and the poison doves in the wild are completely different. ”

"Still." He added: "Even if it eats waste, it can easily kill you if you are not prepared for a surprise attack." ”

"I came here half a month ago, why didn't I see it?"

"It's mating season, and this stupid guy has gone out to find the she-bird. It was beaten by me when it was a child, and this flat-haired beast has a grudge against me, and he doesn't like me very much, so let's not go over and tell the great wizard to drive it away. ”

"Witch Crow, Witch Crow." Cangjizi shouted into the house.

Long Jingqi said, "Is this the name of the Great Wizard?" ”

"Hmm." Cang Jizi nodded and said: "The great wizard is called a witch crow, a wizard's witch, not the kind of black-feathered bird crow. ”

After a few calls, I heard a male duck in the house shouting: "Dumb, you eyeless foodie, why don't you get out of the way and let the distinguished guest in." ”

The poisonous dove called Dumb stood up when he heard the sound, lazily flapped his vested little wings, and quacked twice. Moving a pair of thick legs, the sharp claws are deeply buckled in the bark, climbing vertically along the trunk to a high place, and then lying down to continue sleeping.

"Honorable people who are given by the dragon, and noble descendants of the Yutai Kingdom, please come in." When the poison dove left the door, the ugly voice of the great wizard sounded again.

"Put me down." Hearing that the Great Wizard valued him so much, Cang Jizi was so excited that he was completely ill, and immediately slipped off the back of the dragon spirit, and rushed in front of the dragon spirit to push the door.

As soon as he opened the firewood door, the dragon spirit smelled a pungent sour smell, subconsciously put his hand on his mouth and nose, bent down and followed Cang Jizi into the house from the 'dog hole'.

As expected, it was not only unpleasant, but also stuffy, with only a few dark red coals as a light source, and it was very dark, and only a short figure could be vaguely seen standing with his back to them.

"You're back. Did you find something? The diminutive figure asked, turning around.

The dragon spirit's eyes slowly adapted to the darkness, and only then did he see the appearance of the person in front of him, a very old man.

This old man is thin and small, with a slumped body, and he is one point shorter than Cang Jizi, only about one meter and four. The sharp-beaked monkey gills, an old face like a walnut, full of deep wrinkles and ravines, and a few oil paints.

He carried a white bone staff inlaid with emeralds in his hand, wore clothes made of colorful feathers, and wore a high crown of feathers on his head, and the whole person looked like a birdman with bells and whistles.

This is the great wizard of the Ryuze Division, the Witch Crow.

Seeing the old man walking tremblingly, Cang Jizi hurriedly hugged him, and said with a flattering smile: "Wu Crow Gong, we have caught the musk monkey." ”

He beckoned to the dragon spirit and said, "Dragon spirit, don't hurry up and bring the musk monkey to show the crow man." ”

Cang Jizi is an orphan picked up by the great wizard from outside, although he was not raised by the great wizard, but he is valued by him and has a deep affection for the witch crow.

Long Jing also knew about this, but he was about to ask Xingshi for the crime, and he crossed his arms and sneered: "Great wizard, you use means to force me to mate, it's too despicable, right?" ”

Cang Jizi saw that he had a bad attitude, and said angrily: "Dragon Spirit, you dare to be disrespectful to the Great Wizard, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”

The dragon spirit shook his head disdainfully and said, "Less garlic, come on, come on, I want to see how you are unkind to me." ”

"You!" Cang Jizi choked, his face was red and his ears were red.

"Hehehe." The old witch crow smiled, pointed to the reed mat on the ground and said, "Don't be angry, sit down first, and let's talk slowly." ”

"Hmph." The dragon spirit was not polite, and sat down by the fire, looking to the side with his neck crossed.

The old witch crow sat down opposite him with the support of Cang Jizi, slowly set aside the fire, added a few more sticks of firewood, and waited for the fire to burn before saying, "Look at this fire." ”

The dragon spirit glanced at it and said, "Isn't it just fire, there's nothing to see." ”

With a smile on his face, the Great Wizard looked at the flickering flames and said, "Fire is a sacred object for mankind. It has helped the newborn human beings to this day. ”

"It is said that at the beginning of the birth of human beings, the number was scarce, the body was weak, the beasts and alien races all fed on humans, and snakes, insects, birds and beasts killed humans together."

He raised his head, looked at the roof with deep eyes, and continued, "When the human race was about to die, a witch appeared. He brought the fire of heaven to the world and taught mankind how to make fire. ”

"Humans use the sacred object of 'fire' to expel wild beasts, barbecue food, and keep warm from the cold. From now on, there is no need to tremble in the dark night, fear and dare not sleep, no longer have to drink blood, eat fishy "shame" and "evil" smell, and get rid of the fate of destruction. ”

"That god and witch is the Suiren clan who is revered by humans as the 'Fire Ancestor'."

The story of the Suiren clan was heard from the mouth of a prehistoric aboriginal and read in later books, and the effect was completely different, giving people a very real feeling.

The dragon spirit listened carefully, but pretended to be impatient and said, "Of course I know about the Suiren clan, but what does it have to do with what I asked you?" ”

The crow smiled and said, "I wanted to talk to you more about this world, but if you don't want to hear it, I won't be verbose." ”

He sat up straight and said with a serious expression: "Fire Ancestor is the first god and witch of the human race, and hundreds of thousands of generations have passed so far, during which the human race has encountered many great disasters. ”

"Mankind is fortunate that every time there is a crisis, there will be a man of God, a wizard, or a warrior, or a prophet, or a wise man. With courage and wisdom, they have always been able to lead humanity through adversity. ”

"We're in a tough situation now than we've had before. Although the situation is grim, no one is pessimistic and hopeless, and everyone firmly believes that the man of God who will save mankind will soon come. ”

"Over the years, Long Zebu has been waiting patiently, waiting for ten generations, and the god man has finally arrived!"

"That man." The Great Wizard's pair of cloudy old eyes suddenly shot out of the essence, leaned forward, and said to the dragon spirit with a fanatical expression: "It's, yes, you!" ”
