Chapter Twenty-Five: The Birds Return Home
This birdsong has a kind of hollow sound, especially in such an environment.
Su You's heart naturally tightened with this birdsong, "It's coming", he murmured, just like in the original dream, and what is coming will be the most shocking scene!
"Let's go," Su You said, "this is not far from the location of the Divine Gate, and we will follow the direction of the bird's call, and we will arrive in a while." ”
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, Shenmen, a place where many people did not hesitate to come to the place, this way, it can be said that they stepped on countless corpses. Su You exhaled softly, looking at the fleeting white qi in front of him and smiling bitterly, life is like this white qi, the time that really exists in the world is only a snap of a finger, it is already small, and he still wants to get eternal life, fighting big with small, it is really a joke.
Just as he was thinking, the sky above him heard the sound of birds chirping, and the light around him became gray.
And at this moment, they had come to the position in Su You's dream.
"Look! That's what they are! The dragon exclaimed.
I saw countless birds of different sizes and shapes circling densely in the sky, some with four wings, some with two heads, and some with three tails...... They flew over the middle peak, sometimes looking down, sometimes raising their heads and chirping, their voices crisp and graceful, or harsh and unpleasant; There are 8 million black presses!
"These are all ...... Bird? Qi Shan couldn't believe his eyes.
Although Yi Han and Xiaobai did not speak, it could be seen from their slightly trembling bodies that they were very excited at this time.
"It's exactly the same scene I saw in my dream, and I don't know if these birds are in danger or not," Su You said truthfully: "By the way, you look at that peak, there was a person in black clothes who looked exactly like me standing there, and I was startled and fell from here." ”
"Where's the door?" Dalong asked.
Su You pointed to the mountain peak not far away, "Look there, it's where the man stood before, and behind the side is where the door is." ”
"Holy! But how are we going to get there? The big dragon looked at the abyss in front of him, these are two independent peaks, maybe the foot of the mountain is next to each other, but this is the top of the mountain, the distance is dozens of meters, unless it has wings like the birds above, it is impossible to pass.
"Look at these birds! What are they doing? Yi Han raised his head and shouted.
Everyone's eyes shifted to the top again, only to see that those birds flew well, suddenly became bloodthirsty, the slightly larger ones kept pecking at the delicate and small ones, and those with huge bodies were pecked when they saw the birds, and suddenly, the air was chaotic, the sky was sprinkled with blood, and a fishy smell suddenly spread in the air.
"Legendary cannibalism?" Dalong wiped his face splattered with blood droplets, and his face showed blood paths.
Su You was also surprised, he remembered that in the dream, these birds obviously flew and left, how did they suddenly become like this?
The number of birds in the sky began to gradually decrease, and many weak birds were unable to defeat them in this battle, and they fell into the abyss. Millions of birds, in less than ten minutes, there were only tens of thousands left, and the sky was clear, but their war still did not stop.
"These birds can't be evil, right? It's obviously the same kind.,How can you get off your mouth! Dalong said.
"What's wrong with the same kind, humans are much more terrible than them!" Yi Leng said coldly, about human nature, I am afraid he has seen it most thoroughly.
A few people watched the fight in front of them quietly, from the heartbeat at the beginning, to the cold bystanders later, in fact, habits are easy to develop, maybe sometimes, it doesn't take time at all.
It wasn't until there were only a few left in the sky that the battle ended.
"There are a hundred left." Su Zuo also said.
Su You looked at Uncle in disbelief, it turned out that he had been watching seriously just now, and he was checking the numbers.
"A hundred left? What's the mystery? Dalong asked.
"A hundred birds and a phoenix." Su You replied. Since ancient times, there are countless legends about the phoenix, it is said that the phoenix is the head of the birds, and has two sons, one is the peacock, the other is the Dapeng, the peacock was named the peacock Daming King Bodhisattva by Shakyamuni, and about the Dapeng, Li Bai has a poem: Dapeng rises with the wind one day, soaring up to 90,000 miles, which shows its status in the hearts of the people, and as the descendants of the phoenix are passed on to the world as gods, not to mention the myth of the phoenix that lives in the myth.
"Legend has it that the phoenix is the king of birds, with a prominent status and noble status, and those who are qualified to worship it must also be outstanding." Su Zuo also explained Su You's statement.
Xiaobai's wound has been healed for the most part, but his face is still very pale, and when he heard Su Zuo say this, he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked, "Isn't the phoenix a legendary bird?" Didn't people conceive it? Does it really exist? ”
Su You said with a smile: "The dragon is also an auspicious beast imagined by the common people, but do you dare to say that there are no dragons in this world?" In recent years, there have been many clues that remind us that dragons are real. ”
"Yes, Ayou is right, but I still don't understand, how did they come out? Can anything you fantasize about come true? Dalong asked.
"It's the mind of man." Su Zuo also said, "People's ideas are very important, maybe a person's ideas are not the climate, but when the ideas of a nation and era are added together, it is enough to make what you think come true." ”
Su You was also shocked by Uncle's statement, "Are you saying that dragons and phoenixes are both fantasized by humans?" ”
Su Zuo also nodded.
Su You stopped talking, maybe he could only pray now, those monsters that were imagined by the minds of the humans of the times were not so violent, and I hope they would not be threatened.
At this time, the one hundred final victors in the sky continued their actions just now, circling around the peak, bowing their heads from time to time, raising their heads from time to time, and the whole scene returned to peace again.
"They're doing some kind of ritual!" Su You suddenly discovered this problem.
When he was in a dream before, he wondered why this bird was so tacit and able to repeat an action many times, but now that he thinks about it, they must be doing some kind of ritual in a giant scale, and that ritual requires them to do this!
"Could it be that they are holding a ceremony of a hundred birds and a phoenix now?" Qi Shan said.
"But where is Feng?" As soon as Su You's own words came out, he immediately understood, Qi Shan was right, if you can make so many different kinds of birds do the same action at the same time repeatedly, it must be worshipping, as for the phoenix, Su You suddenly remembered the man in black, the man who looked the same as himself, wasn't it the phoenix that was worshipped, but him?
Su You shared his thoughts with everyone, and everyone felt that what he said made sense.
Su Zuoyi said: "The most important thing now is how we can get there. ”
At the same time, the hundred giant birds in the sky seemed to have completed their mission, and after circling the sky for the last three times, they flew away, and in an instant, they disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"The birds have returned home, the ceremony is over, we must hurry up, I don't know what will happen next." Xiaobai said.
"Look, take the yellow!" Qi Shan suddenly saw a giant monster not far away, it was the evil god Chenghuang who was "scared away" by his red underwear at that time.
Su Youxinqi, what is it doing here?
Chenghuang didn't seem to see them, his eyes looked at the opposite peak softly, as if he was looking at some rare treasure, he saw it look at it for a long time, and then lowered his head slightly, as if he was worshipping, if this series of actions came from a person's body, it was normal, but the strange thing is that it is now reflected in the body of an animal! It is no longer possible to use popularity to describe Chenghuang, which is obviously a refinement!
Cheng Huang was not disturbed by their thoughts, and continued his movements, and after about a few minutes, it was in the eyes of everyone, and it jumped towards the opposite peak.
Su You felt that his breathing was stagnant, could this thing be suicidal? There is a bottomless abyss under your feet!
To everyone's surprise, Cheng Huang did not fall, but his four hooves landed steadily in mid-air, Su You rubbed his eyes in disbelief, he was not mistaken, Cheng Huang was walking in the air!
"Let's keep up with him!" Su Zuo also spoke, and then the first one rushed over there.
Su You and his party followed closely, and when they arrived, they looked at the back of Cheng Huang who was hanging in mid-air in front of them and moving steadily forward, and they didn't find any mechanism, or anything like a glass plank road, it was completely airborne, and there was not even a rope.
"We follow in his footsteps." Su Zuo also said.
"How? People are mythical beasts, maybe they have superpowers or something, but they don't have to! Qi Shan said.
"No, look at its eyes." Yi Han said, "Its eyes have always been closed, maybe the key to taking this path is to close its eyes and have no distractions?" "Yi Han has no confidence in what he said, everything is speculation, a little carelessness or misjudgment, the abyss under their feet is always waiting for them!
"I'll come first! You follow. Su You volunteered, sensing the distrustful glances cast by others, Su You smiled, "It's okay, I think here, everywhere is giving me the green light, don't forget my identity!" Don't worry, I, Su Youfu, have a big life, and I can't die! ”
Su You closed his eyes after speaking, and took the first step nervously, he didn't dare to look back, he didn't dare to open his eyes, he was afraid of seeing the eyes of his uncle, he was afraid of seeing the tragedy he would cause!
The first step is to be safe and sound.
Su You breathed a sigh of relief, and then took the second step.
Beneath was the abyss, and he walked in mid-air, and he walked on the ground. Feeling the danger, Su You's steps were getting faster and faster, he knew that Uncle and they were following him, and all he could do now was to reach the opposite side as soon as possible.
When Su You took the first step, Su Zuo also followed him closely, and the rest of the people immediately followed, everyone is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if something really happens, it is also a blessing to be able to die together. What they didn't expect was that in mid-air, above the abyss, they stepped on it with their eyes closed, as if they were stepping on the ground!
At a distance of more than ten meters, they walked for more than ten minutes, exploring carefully at every step, for fear that if something went wrong, they would hurt their companions.
When Su You's head hit the stone, he knew that it had arrived.
