Chapter 38: The Queen Mother's Messenger
The others seemed to be touched by my words, but they didn't affirm my statement, but they all frowned and pondered, as if in their minds, they were comparing the image of the strange bird with the image of the phoenix. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But there is one exception, that is, the mark, I saw it flick the feathers of the strange bird, shook its head for a while, dragged its chin for a while, seemed to be trying to think of something, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and said loudly: "This is not a phoenix, if I remember correctly, it is the legendary blue bird, that is, the three blue birds!" ”
Three bluebirds? Yes! I reacted immediately, that's right, this strange bird is the three blue birds, similar to the peacock, and similar to the phoenix, but it is another kind of divine bird. When I was a child, I was idle and bored, and I often read the old version of the Book of Mountains and Seas over and over again, and I have a deep memory of the mythical beasts and birds that I am interested in.
The three blue birds are the sacred birds in ancient Chinese mythology, and the legend is that they are the messengers of the goddess Queen Mother of the West, a total of three, so they are also called three birds or blue birds. It is also said that the predecessor of the phoenix is the three blue birds, which are rare for mortals, often inhabiting Penglai Immortal Island, and are the messengers of good news of happiness.
Speaking of these three blue birds, everyone has shown a sudden look, even more amazed, after all, the three blue birds are the legendary birds, comparable to the existence of a phoenix, I thought it was just a fictitious product of people in ancient times, but I didn't expect it to really exist, it's unbelievable.
It's just that I still don't know anything in my heart, and I feel uncomfortable holding back, so I asked the standard: "Aren't there only three of these three blue birds?" Why are there so many here, it doesn't seem to match the legend? ”
Biaozi was also puzzled, touched his chin, and said funny: "Maybe it's their descendants, who can say for sure?" Besides, legends must not be believed, and some deviations are also a matter of course. ”
I nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, the legendary three-blue bird is as big as a pheasant, you look at these three-colored birds, they are bigger than peacocks, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the king of birds." ”
The second baby on the side whispered: "Aren't these birds divine birds, why did they die so easily?" Isn't it a little bit of a dish too? ”
Hope and reality are often different, it is normal for the second baby to see that the myth has been broken, and there is a gap in his heart, I patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "The myth is very unreal, if you are more serious, it will be boring." ”
The second baby nodded a little disappointedly, and walked to the side silently, obviously the matter of the three blue birds made him angry.
Qin Kunlun raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "The three blue birds have appeared, and the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West should not be far away." ”
Everyone nodded, according to legend, the three blue birds were the messengers of the Queen Mother of the West, and after the Queen Mother of the West died, it was normal for them to stay here as tomb beasts. It's just that I don't know if if we continue to move forward, whether the wave of three blue birds just now will go and return, and continue to attack us, although it seems that in the face of us who are fully armed, they are not lethal.
Leaving aside the matter of the three blue birds and ignoring it, just in case, we refilled the bullets in the magazine and prepared to continue walking, but Lao Cai on the side suddenly exclaimed: "Not good! The stone and the little man are gone! ”
There are dozens of Li Gao's subordinates, except for a few people who often come out to talk, which makes me have some impressions, for other people, I don't know who is who at all, so the little man and the stone in Lao Cai's mouth are just an unfamiliar name for me, they are not there or not, I can't detect it at all.
Li Gao's face changed, and he began to check the number of people, and by the end, his face had turned pale, and it was obvious that Lao Cai was right, two people in the team disappeared suddenly.
Li Gao turned around and said loudly to Lao Cai: "When did they disappear?" Who were you walking with? ”
Special police officer Lao Cai's face sank, and he said with some guilt: "Before the attack of the strange birds, they walked with me, and it should have been after the attack of the strange birds that they disappeared." ”
"Could it be that when the strange birds attacked, these two little cubs broke away from the group and went somewhere else?" Turning his head, Li Gaodi ordered the other subordinates: "You take this as the center point, go around and look for them, especially pay attention to the back of those stone pillars. ”
As the so-called concern is chaotic, it is easy to lose normal logical thinking, and Li Gao's current state is like this. I have a point in saying this, for there is only one way to get lost in a place where we are now, and there are huge stones jutting out of the mountain wall to block the view.
Since it will not lead to the phenomenon of getting lost here, and such a long time has passed just now, as long as the two special police officers who left did not die directly, it is estimated that they will have come back long ago. Taking a step back, even if they are seriously injured and can't walk back on their own, they will at least cry out for help from us, but the situation is the opposite now, and the results can be imagined.
Although the truth is so, saying it is undoubtedly the last glimmer of hope in the hearts of others, so I didn't say anything, pulled the sign that stood in place and was at a loss, and the two of us searched in the direction of the back.
Biaozi glanced at me, sighed heavily, but said nothing, and I could see from his eyes that he thought the same as me, and did not have the slightest hope for this search.
A few minutes later, Biaozi and I went back, and the other SWAT officers returned one after another, but as I expected, no one noticed the two SWAT officers.
Lao Cai walked up to Li Gao with a heavy heart and explained: "I can't find them around, and I can't find any traces left by them, they should have been captured by those three blue birds." ”
Li Gao took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement, and after a while, he said with some loss: "I understand." ”
Qin Kunlun walked over and patted Li Gao's shoulder to show comfort, and then said to everyone: "It seems that the three blue birds are not as easy to deal with as we imagined, and the next action, everyone must not take it lightly, and give me a good look at myself!" Life, it's your own after all! ”
Everyone nodded silently, and the atmosphere at the scene was unusually dull.
We collected our heavy hearts and continued to walk forward, about forty meters or so, and came to a bend, and during this time, the three bluebirds we expected did not turn around and kill back, but it was a blessing in misfortune.
Behind the bend point is still a wide karst cave, but the space is larger, the route is also straight, and fifty meters away, a large waterfall up to more than ten meters wide and up to thirty meters hangs on the opposite cliff, below is a small pool, about ten acres of water surface.
Although it is a few tens of meters away, the sound of the water pouring down the waterfall is still deafening, and it also gives people a very unreal feeling, after all, in the underground world, it is really surprising to encounter a large waterfall of this scale.
After watching for a while, the group continued to walk, and after a short time they came to the great waterfall and gathered around the waterhole.
The water in the waterhole is very clear, but you can't see the bottom at a glance, indicating that the waterhole is very deep. In the place where the water flow is relatively gentle, there are several large black fish swimming around, they are about 60 centimeters long, the thickness of a person's calf, and there are a few long red whiskers floating on the side of the mouth, which looks strange.
Behind the waterhole is a small river, and the beam of the headlamp shines through, and you can see the small pebbles on the riverbed at a glance, and it is estimated that it is less than two meters deep, and there are also strange black fish swimming in it.
The river flowed slowly to our left, the direction in which the underground cavern extended, and was wider than before, but the environment was similar to the previous one, with countless huge stone pillars towering in between. We looked around and found no other forks in the road, and it seemed that there was only one passage in this huge underground cavern, which saved us a lot of trouble.
Leaving the waterhole, we continued to walk forward, and the farther we went, the quieter the rumbling of water behind us became, and at the end of the day, it faded away, and the underground world became quiet again.
The silence was only temporary, and it wasn't long before the peculiar strange cry of the three blue birds came from behind us again, and it seemed that they would not stop there without putting our uninvited guests to death.
When the bird chirping came, everyone turned their heads, half-squatted, and raised the submachine gun steadily, this series of actions was completed in only two seconds without the slightest drag.
The strange cries of the three blue birds came from far and near, maybe there were more bird calls this time, and they came from afar, and they were so harsh that they made people have the urge to cover their ears. But the next moment, the figure of the three blue birds appeared in our sight, and at this moment, no one cared about the piercing bird calls, and shot one after another.
More than 20 submachine guns fired at the same time, and the dense bullets were like rain, facing the flock of nearly 1,000 three blue birds, and there was no doubt that the three blue birds that took the lead fell to the ground at the first time, making a dull sound of "dong dong". Yu Bird was not startled by the sharp attack of the bullet, but let out a terrible scream, and flew faster in our direction, like a dead soldier who is not afraid of death.
The speed of the three blue birds is extremely fast, only a few seconds, flying above our heads, and holding a sharp beak with a hook, swooping down, and stretching out their long claws on the way, at this moment I feel that the legendary mythical bird is like a peerless fierce bird flying from hell.
