Chapter 136: All the way up
In the middle of the day, there are no normal birds, all strange birds the size of a person, the nests of these birds are built on the sacred tree of Fuso, and we can see their nests when we look up, and some of the nests have newborn chicks chattering and exchanging non-stop, and those big birds are looking at us with strange eyes, making me think that they will attack us at any moment.

The old ghost saw that I was more worried, so he comforted me and said: "It's okay, the birds in this heavy sky are the weakest survival instincts, they don't hurt people, they are all birds that should have been extinct in ancient times, because of the ancient array on this bird island, they have been able to survive on this island for tens of thousands of years, and there is no dispute with the world, and what we need to watch out for the most is the creatures in the above days." ”
So I asked, "Mr. Ghost, what creatures are on it?" ”
At this time, the old ghost stopped, looked at the dense white clouds overhead, and said: "Birds rely on wings to fly, they think that the higher they fly, the stronger they are, and carnivorous birds will appear in the upper layers, and then go up to the end, the king of the survivor birds, this kind of bird is born with wisdom, no less than humans, but these king-level birds live a long life, they usually choose to sleep, I have been to this nine heavens many times, only encountered once." ”
I asked, "What happened?" ”
The old ghost continued to walk forward, but said: "That time I was lucky, I met a kind of bird king that does not hurt people, when I first saw it, I didn't know what it was, and finally I returned to land, and began to look through books, and finally found the clue of the bird." ”
The old ghost said that the bird he met was called the Immortal Firebird, which is often called the Phoenix, most of the birds evolved from other birds, and the Immortal Firebird was indeed an exception, the Immortal Firebird had existed when there were no humans, although their lifespan was not long, only five hundred years, but in these five hundred years, three hundred years were sleeping, and the remaining two hundred years were building a bird's nest for themselves.
Whenever an immortal firebird runs out of oil and the lamp dies, they will wait for death in the nest they have built, and when their death comes, the whole body will be burned with a special flame that burns itself until it turns into ashes, and at the moment when it turns into ashes, there will be a new nestling of the immortal firebird out of the ashes, implying the rebirth of Nirvana.
Of course, there is another way of saying that immortal firebirds are not immortal, but they have a unique way of reproduction, and they do not need to be accompanied by the opposite sex to complete childbirth, but there is a disadvantage, that is, the eggs need to be at high temperatures, and then let the young birds break out of the shell, so they chose spontaneous combustion, through spontaneous combustion to reach a certain temperature, so that the chicks will be born, so it is also called a solitary bird.
No matter what the name of this immortal firebird is, but the old ghost really witnessed an old immortal firebird nirvana, when the immortal firebird turned into ashes, a chick came out of the ashes, and the chick did not hurt people, so the old ghost escaped by luck.
In short, the old ghost means that the higher we go, the more ferocious these birds become, and at the end, we will see the mythical birds.
At this moment, I listened to the head of the big one, I know that in ancient mythology, the phoenix is the head of ten thousand birds, and the birds dare not perch, and the phoenix is avoided, this sentence is enough to prove the strength of the phoenix, but I didn't expect that we have not yet reached the heavenly palace, there is danger.
Nine Heavens, remove the one heaven we are already in, the top nine heavens, and the seven heavens, each of which is a thousand meters high, and we may be in danger on which layer, but since the old ghost has been on these nine heavens many times, I think he must have a way to deal with it.
We finally walked out of the first heaven with great difficulty, and when we arrived at the second heaven, we found that there were many fewer birds flying around the Fuso sacred tree, but they were still big birds, and when these birds saw us, they began to circle around us, and even we were extra careful every step we took, for fear that these big birds would attack us.
But fortunately, we walked out of the double heaven, and there was no big bird to pounce, and there were many fewer birds in the triple heaven, and at this moment, there were two birds fighting each other in the sky, so we took advantage of the two birds to attract the attention of other birds, and accelerated our pace, until we reached the fourth heaven, there was a small episode.
In front of us, there was a caterpillar as big as a person blocking our way, we looked at the caterpillar nervously, and the caterpillar's head actually had a bunch of eyes, I wanted to vomit very much, extremely disgusting, maybe the old cat has a dense phobia, plus fear of heights, and finally couldn't help it, vomited directly, but the caterpillar slowly crawled towards us.
In fact, it's not just us, the old ghost is also nervous, I can see from his expression that he is a little uneasy, but Jiang is still old and spicy, he said to us: "Don't panic, this insect is free to deal with natural enemies." ”
Although the insect crawled towards us, but after all, it was a bug, crawling a little slowly, and sure enough, a strange big bird flew from the sky, and directly took away the caterpillar, which is also a breath of relief, otherwise we really don't know how to deal with the caterpillar, maybe it is highly poisonous.
After the fourfold heaven, it came to the fifthfold heaven, and the clouds of each of these heavy heavens were also very dense, as long as you passed through the clouds, you could not see anything below.
The old ghost said that from the beginning of the Fifth Heaven, it is the territory of the meat eaters, so we must be extra careful in everything, in the past, when he passed the Nine Heavens, there were very few one or two people, once he encountered any danger, he hid in the vines in the crisscrossing tree trunks, and he would not be attacked.
But when we entered the Five Heavens, we couldn't see a single bird, we didn't know what the situation was, but the old ghost was very puzzled, he himself: "What's going on, what happened?" ”
So I asked, "What do you mean, old ghost?" ”
The old ghost looked at me puzzled and said, "In the past, when I came to the Five Heavens, I saw carnivorous birds flying everywhere, but this time, I couldn't see any of them. ”
I don't understand what the old ghost said, after all, only he knows about it, and we are all here for the first time, but from the old ghost's words, I know that there used to be a lot of carnivorous birds in this layer, but I don't know why they are all gone now.
Without the interference of a bird, we felt that the climbing speed had become faster, and perhaps this was a good thing, so we made our way to the Sixth Heaven.
As soon as we entered the Sixth Heaven, we didn't feel any difference, but after walking a few hundred meters, we found that there were a large number of bird bones on the vines.
