Chapter 113: The Black Flame of the Golden Crow
"Birdcage? What kind of letter is this? Yang Su looked at the birdcage in Tianyi's hand puzzled, and really didn't understand what his intentions were.
"Who said that a letter has to be paper, made up of words? In my opinion, as long as it carries human emotions and intentions, everything can become letters, and this birdcage is the last letter your father left to you. When Tianyi said these words, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"It's my father again...... He's been dead for eight years, what more letters will there be? Yang Su frowned and said, "Uncle Tianyi, are you joking with me?" β
"It's not a joke, but your father, eight years ago, appointed me to hand over the birdcage to you today, and he said that sooner or later you will understand what he means." Tianyi said calmly: "Entrusted by the old people, I naturally can't live up to it." β
Tianyi carefully placed the birdcage in front of Yang Su's table, and removed the black cloth covering your birdcage with his hand, revealing the luxurious and classical exquisite birdcage below, Yang Su's father has always liked antiques, and after a long period of exposure, Yang Su can also see a little of the meaning:
"Rosewood? This can also be used as a birdcage? Yang Su said unexpectedly, in her eyes, the birdcage has always been just a small thing that is not enough to worry about, but this birdcage is quite elegant and exquisite, the whole body is dark black, and the cage body has fine carvings, and a few gold wire edges can be faintly seen, and the whole body is like a work of art.
And when he saw the things in the birdcage, Yang Su only felt creepy and disgusted.
"Oh my God, what is this......" Yang Su said with some disgust.
The contents of the cage have ruined the beauty of the cage, leaving only an eerie and disgusting darkness.
It was a dry bird carcass. The corpse of a crow, to be exact, was a decaying black. All the feathers were plucked out, the crow's feet were fixed to the pillar in the center of the birdcage, and the crow looked directly at Yang Su with its shriveled dark sockets.
"A dead bird, is that all you see?" Tianyi asked with a smile.
"Is there anything else here besides this disgusting dead bird?" Yang Su took her eyes off the birdcage that made her creepy with a look of disgust.
"Your subjective bias makes me disappointed in you. Is the one in front of me really the smart and clever little Yang Su that used to be? Tianyi shook his head helplessly.
"Of course, I am no longer the scheming, innocent and innocent Yang Su who followed you all day long, Uncle Tianyi, not everyone can be like you who has not undergone any changes in the passage of time." That's what Yang Su said. But being provoked by the sky one by one, she still moved her slightly stubborn gaze to the crow's corpse.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary crow, but a closer look reveals that it is different from a normal crow...... Its head has a distinct golden marking, and its body has shrunk albeit awkward. But there is still a hint of streamlined beauty on the body. And the most striking thing is that there is a curved third foot between its legs! This third foot even has five toes! The third bird's foot curls up in the center of the crow's lower abdomen, and it is completely unnoticeable if you don't look closely.
"It'...... How is this possible? It actually has three legs? I'm not dreaming, am I? Yang Su suspected that she was really dreaming, she also pinched her face, and actually saw the remains of this legendary creature, did this kind of life really exist?!
"Three-legged crow? Three-legged golden crow? β
"Yes, it's the only three-legged golden crow remains found so far, the heir of the Black Sun!" Tianyi looked deeply at the golden crow in the birdcage in his hand. Said in an aria-like tone.
The Golden Crow, in ancient legend, is the embodiment of the sun. It will fly high from the end of the sea every day, shining on the world with endless light, and every night it will return to the end of the sea under the valley, sleeping on the sacred tree Fusang, it is said that in the ancient times there were ten days in the sky, each of which has endless power, and now there is such one, in the birdcage in the hand of the heavens?
"My father, where did he get this golden crow? What do you mean when you say that this golden crow is a letter that conveys a message? Yang Su eagerly asked a series of questions, what did her father, who had long since disappeared from the world, do to her? And Tianyi is here at this moment, claiming to be sending a letter, what is he trying to do?
"These are all the treasures we found when we excavated the Demon Valley, naturally they all came from the 685 Research Institute that no longer exists, since ten years ago, the 685 Research Institute has found a large number of relics and spiritual connections from ancient civilizations from the Demon Valley, this Golden Crow, is the most important and favorite thing your father back then, he wants me to hand over the Golden Crow to you in eight years, his intentions are best figured out by yourself." Tianyi still said in his unhurried tone.
"Uncle Tianyi, you hate it like this! It was like this back then, and it's still like this now, you only say half of everything, you let people guess everything, you do everything in a secretive and unfathomable way, is it interesting for people like you to play around all day long? Fun for you to play with a bunch of people to clapp? I don't have any interest in what 685 Institute knows, it's the product of my ghostly father's madness in my mind, and now you're sending a three-legged crow that looks like something is wrong, who knows if it's a fake job! If you don't make things clear today, I definitely won't take it! Yang Su didn't listen to Tianyi's foolishness, and said without hesitation.
"Tricky...... Is it? Tianyi smiled with interest and shook his head: "It's a pity that you guessed wrong, I never made a mistake, but all this is neither to be said nor talked about." β
"Don't say it, don't talk about it, is that any different from pretending to be a delusion? I can't understand what you and my father are thinking! Yang Su gritted her teeth and said, why did she have such a hard time talking to Tianyi?
"Because in this world, there are some indescribable and invisible things, as long as you recite its name and talk about its existence, it will be heard, and its consciousness will be attracted to it!" Tianyi pointed to the sky above his head with an indifferent and serious expression: "Do you remember what state your mother was?" Remember how your father died? That's all the result of not having reverence for the ancient gods, I've lived a long, long life, and I don't want to be suddenly erased one day because I want to explain something that shouldn't be explained, so it's better for you to explore the truth yourself, after all, God will never refuse to worship people who take the initiative to worship it! β
"Ancient gods?" Yang Su stared blankly at the golden crow sleeping in the birdcage, and then looked up at the landscape painting "Forever Night Watching the Mountain" hanging opposite her desk, and she muttered softly: "It's really ridiculous!" β
"Even though I can't talk to you about those existences, I can prove something to you, that what your father was chasing was not an illusory phantom, but an unpredictable darkness......" Tianyi paced to the balcony in front of the tempered glass hanging window, raised the birdcage in his hand to the window, and glanced out the window meaningfully:
"There are some unexpected little guests outside, so let's use them for an experiment." Tianyi said in a playful tone.
Tianyi lowered his head and chuckled and read a syllable that Yang Su did not understand into the birdcage in his hand, and the spelling in English letters was roughly like this:
βdelusoβ¦β¦β
The eyes of the dead golden crow suddenly burned with flame-like brilliance, its dry body trembled a little, and a blazing and crazy black flame appeared in the cracked body in an instant, the black flame rose from the birdcage, burning the space around Tianyi and distorting it, the flames flowed through Tianyi's delicate little hand holding the birdcage, but did not leave the slightest trace for Tianyi, the changing black flames condensed into tongues of fire and spun and flew out of the window, while its firelight swayed throughout the office, A wave of heat rushed towards Yang Su......
The next moment, several pigeons with black flames all over their bodies fluttered their wings and fell down the stairs from the edge of the window in pain, and in an instant they were completely engulfed by the black flames, and the pigeons were burned to ashes in mid-air, and some of the ashes even drifted into the house.
"It's less than one-ten-thousandth of the power of the Black Sun, don't you want to see it in its entirety? Although you say that you are dismissive of your father's legacy, you still care about him deep down. Tianyi turned around and looked at Yang Su with a smile, he casually flicked the ashes that splashed on his body, and looked at Yang Su with his eyes that always seemed to be able to penetrate everything, Yang Su was looked at by him so directly, he didn't know why he was a little shaken in his heart, and took a step back without a trace.
Yang Su felt that Tianyi's eyes were burning with a black flame similar to that of the golden crow, and that unique delicacy and beauty burned with extreme death and destruction. (To be continued.) )
