Emperor Shaohao turned around, and the human leader had disappeared into the Heavenly Bird Cemetery.

Qin Yuan suddenly spoke: "Why is this?"

"Hmm, why, why?"

"You knew that the humans were coming from the north," Qin Yuan said with a buzzing sound, and his ears itched, "Why did you send a large army to the south?"

"Oh?" said Emperor Shao Hao. "I'm not sure. ”

"It's okay to talk about these words to your subordinates, do we need to hide them from each other?" Qin Yuan's temperament changed drastically, he was no longer Emperor Shaohao's guard—although he wasn't—but a white-eyed bird of equal status with him.

"It's not good to be too smart. Emperor Shaohao seemed to be talking about himself. He paused, stepping out of the massive leaves, the light of the fire rising and falling on his body. "Qin Yuan, how many years have we known each other?"

"Human time?"

"In human time. Emperor Shaohao smiled bitterly, "Do we have any other calendars?"

"One thousand one hundred and eight years. ”

"You're really not ordinary. ”

"What are you asking for? Do you want to say, 'Since we've known each other for so long, you should be able to guess what I want to do'—I'm not interested in guessing. "Qin Yuan spoke very sharply.

Emperor Shaohao smiled in a low voice: "I do want to say that. ”

"Now I'll speak for you, and I'll tell you the answer. Qin Yuan shook his head in extreme irritability, but his tone was so steady that there was no sense of restlessness at all.

“...... I'm also hesitant. "Emperor Shaohao said something that sounded inconsequential.

He opened his mouth and closed it immediately, considering whether he should confide his sincerity to the partner who had been with him all day and night.

Eventually, he said:

"Ever since you showed up, our favorite food has been gone. ”

"Why are you complaining about me until now?"

Emperor Shaohao did not reply positively: "I still remember the day you appeared, purgatory collapsed. I was too young to remember exactly what happened, but I will never forget this place. He stepped on the Celestial Bird Graveyard, "Right down here, right? The same goes for the human, who seems to see the secret here, and keeps his attention on his feet." ”

Qin Yuan remained silent.

"You were the one who suggested that I bury the phoenix here, and I remember what you said—"

"'Great, God dug a hole here for us. Qin Yuan retelled.

Emperor Shaohao chuckled: "Crude lies. ”

"But you did what I said, why?"

"Phoenix is dead, I'm sad, and I'm not in the mood to think about it that much. In addition, the negotiation of the Yellow Emperor was close at hand, so this matter could only be hastily decided, and by the way, other soldiers who died in the field were also buried here. Emperor Shaohao's tone was very light, and the ethereal would disappear at any time, "Do you know why I mentioned this now?"

Qin Yuan shook his head.

"I'm tired of living, I'm getting impatient. When I hear the cries of human slaughter coming from the north, you know how I am-"

"Don't use questions all the time, just say what you want, I won't guess. "Qin Yuan gave an ultimatum.

"I wasn't thinking, 'Sure enough, it's coming from the north,' or 'how did it come from the north,' but 'It's starting again.'" ”

Suddenly, he changed his mind.

"The Yellow Emperor is a very great man, he obviously does not have an immortal body like a 'prisoner', but he has the strength to run around and unite everyone. We made a vow, and he told me that this would happen to humanity and the bird kingdom forever, and within a few years, his people were slaughtered. Can you figure out why?"

Emperor Shaohao realized that he had asked again, so he continued to talk to himself:

"I don't understand. Later, I inquired about the reason, and the prisoners felt that it was unfair, why they were the food, and not the aborigines—ridiculous, right? This is obviously the most perfect balance that birds and humans can achieve, they have infinite life, and we can only feed on human flesh to feed on food, is this not made in heaven? The prisoners are still dissatisfied. I've also heard that the Yellow Emperor was actually killed by a prisoner. ”

Qin Yuan shook his head again, the meaning was unclear, and he could only attribute this behavior to habit.

He asked Emperor Shaohao, "What do you want to say?"

"I thought that after making a vow with the Yellow Emperor, I would be able to obtain a lifetime of peace. As a result, as you know, the Yellow Emperor's clan was killed, the human race began to disintegrate, and the oath gradually lost its effectiveness. He pointed to the southern sky, "The clouds and fire in the south are slowly rising. Human beings may not be aware of it, but how can we ignore it when we can spread our wings and soar? ”

"You don't want another war, so you plan to let the bird country be destroyed, and let your compatriots be eaten up by humans little by little?"

Emperor Shaohao let out a playful laugh: "Why are you so indignant? It sounds like you care a lot about the survival of the Bird Country—you're not a bird at all, are you?" he bent down to look at Qin Yuan, who was only the size of a palm, "I've thought about a question: why there are two judges in Purgatory, one in black and the other in white, but both judges are human bones, which is a bit unfair. One day it dawned on me that everything is so fair, and that humans have two judges, so why shouldn't we?Qin Yuan, you are one of them, and the other ......" He lowered his eyes and stared at the neatly laid Celestial Bird Cemetery at his feet. "Phoenix. ”

Qin Yuan did not speak, acquiescing to Emperor Shaohao's guess.

"It's been a long time since we've seen the Black Judge, have we? Emperor Shaohao said, "It's a metaphorical game, the bird country and the human race each have two judge chips, we were defeated because the phoenix was killed by the Yellow Emperor, and then the two sides were able to usher in peace, mostly because the black judge was locked up - although I don't know what happened; now the black judge is out, two against one, the bird country will be defeated." Am I wrong?"

"Interesting hypothesis. ”

Qin Yuan flapped his wings as transparent as a dragonfly, and the lines on them reflected colorful streamlines.

"It's not a hypothesis, it's a fact. In front of Qin Yuan, Emperor Shaohao was like a stubborn student, "The phoenix will never be resurrected, and the destruction of the Bird Kingdom is doomed from the moment she was killed by the Yellow Emperor." ”

"So you don't plan to resist, but to break up the forces of the Bird Country, urging them to hurry up and move towards their demise. ”

Emperor Shaohao was noncommittal.

"You're weaker than I thought, and there's another way to go. Qin Yuan was obviously criticizing him, but his tone seemed to contain the meaning of "hard work".

"The judge who kills humanity. "Of course Emperor Shaohao saw this road.

"Why don't you give it a try?"

"I don't know. Emperor Shaohao's face was bitter, his eyes were very ethereal, and his empty eyes seemed to see through the world, "I don't know everything in purgatory...... I have lived here for thousands of years, and I have not known it to this day, but I still do not understand where it stands or where it is suspended, how the clouds and fire in the sky explain it, and why only vows made in the graveyard are valid......"

"What does this have to do with not killing the judge?"

"It seems that there is no communication between you and the human judges. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Judge White hasn't appeared in Purgatory since a few items were stolen by the travelers, probably hiding in a corner and showing up in shame, and Judge Black, do we have the strength to kill him?" he is just like you," Emperor Shaohao narrowed his eyes and stared at Qin Yuan, "You can't kill you—I can feel that, but I can't say why." ”

As he spoke, Emperor Shaohao stretched out his claws and stabbed towards Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan didn't dodge or dodge, hovering in the air to deliberately let Emperor Shaohao attack, and at the same time said coldly: "Your wisdom is indeed beyond my expectations, how long have you hidden these secrets in your heart?"

As soon as the words fell, the sharp blade pierced Qin Yuan's body. He floated to the ground like a soft worm, and soon flew again.

"Is this a secret?" Emperor Shaohao laughed dryly, "It's just the tip of the iceberg, right?"

"That's right. ”

Chin Yuan had neither pride nor pity. The two birds are like travelers meeting in the water, and there is only flatness in their tones.

"Speaking of which, I should call you 'Judge' too, right?"

"I'm not like them. ”

"yes, you've lost all the food we once had. At least the Judge didn't take away the human food. ”

"They eat everything, and they can't get it away. ”

"What is your purpose?" asked Emperor Shao Hao.

"You're asking questions again. Qin Yuan frowned.

"This time it's not for you to guess, but for you to tell the truth. ”

Qin Yuan suddenly understood what Emperor Shaohao had just said-

I'm tired of life.

"In that case, I can fulfill you. "I will tell you the truth about purgatory, and after that, you will die." ”
