The strange fluctuation was not that something terrible was about to emerge at the bottom of the river, but that the whole river seemed to begin to tremble and shake, as if it was about to run completely in the next moment. I had doubts, but I tried to swim to the shore first.

When I climbed up the river bank wet and turned my head to look at the river, I felt that this familiar river had a faint strangeness in its flow. Is that really the case? The big golden bird is rotting, and the river is on the verge of collapse. I took off my clothes and wrung out the water, and when I looked down slightly, I saw a gray feather under my feet, which was supposed to be the feather of the big bird, which had completely lost its golden color.

I went ashore and looked left and right, Ye Zi's figure was long gone, Zhong Liancheng and Jin Dashao were still on the Prancing Horse Beach, I ran to the back with my feet, ran for more than ten minutes, and saw Zhong Liancheng and Jin Dashao were getting rid of the pursuit of some people and escaping with all their might. Most of the masters of the Sacred Domain and Jiuli still stayed on the side of the river beach, and although there were many people who pursued them, they had already been overturned by Zhonglian City, and I rushed over with them, and they escaped the pursuit smoothly.

"How!? And what about the carriage? Zhong Liancheng was also very concerned about the big bird, and asked me anxiously as he continued to run.

I didn't think there was any need to hide it, so I told him the truth, and Zhong Liancheng was disappointed. The three of them ran all the way across the river beach, the river was obviously different from the past, I don't know if there was a problem with my senses, standing near the river, I could still continue to sense the fluctuations that covered the bottom of the river. The water on the river surface is constantly splashing, dead fish and rotten shrimp are floating everywhere, and even the moon overhead is dim, a miserable scene.

"The sky is falling, it's not far away" Zhong Liancheng looked at the river, his expression changed back and forth, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

"What the hell is it?" I don't know how many times I've heard this word come up, but until now, I don't know the meaning of the collapse.

"That was many years ago, who can say that in such detail." Zhong Liancheng thought for a while and said: "Since I was a child, I heard my father and some old people in the holy area say that at the bottom of the big river, there is a painting that is controlled by Dayu. ”

Listening to Zhong Liancheng's words, some fragments of memory suddenly flashed in my mind, I remember that when I was walking with the Datou Buddha, he inadvertently said that there was a painting at the bottom of the big river. Since Zhong Liancheng and the Big-headed Buddha both said so, it means that they may not be lying.

What kind of painting will the bottom of the river be? Chi You's broken corpses have left the river one after another, and what the big golden bird suppressed is the painting at the bottom of the river? Could it be that the painting is what the old pedant of nature said, something more terrible than Chiyou?

I was completely lost in thought, and without stopping, I ran for four or five miles, and the pursuers behind me were completely thrown away. As soon as I slowed down, I heard the sand in the sand beside me rattling, and when I turned my head, a head suddenly popped out of the sand. The sudden appearance of the head interrupted my train of thought, and I pulled out the whip and threw it out, wrapping it around the neck under the head in one fell swoop.

"Don't," the head opened its mouth and shouted, and its whole body was exposed from the sand, and his hands grabbed the ghost whip on his neck vigorously, and said breathlessly: "Brother! It's me."

"Gou Banxian?" When I heard this person's voice, I could tell that it was Gou Banxian, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, and the whip in his hand shook and withdrew from the other person's neck. The figure in the sand crawled up, embarrassed, and in the blink of an eye, I clearly saw that it was the skinny Gou Banxian.

Seeing Gou Banxian, my heart was put down, although this old guy was obscene on the surface, he was timid, and his heart was not bad, and he didn't do anything bad when he was next to him. I walked up to him and talked. I remember that he had taken Lao Gou back to his hometown to escape the chaos, but he didn't know how he was here.

"You're getting bolder." I looked at the face of the sharp-beaked monkey and a few hairs on the top of my head, and I felt a little funny: "The news is getting more and more well-informed, the Prancing Horse Beach is so messy, you dare to come." ”

"Don't mention it." Gou Banxian sighed deeply: "If it weren't for being forced, there was no way, and my grandson would have wanted to come." ”

Gou Banxian's grandfather, Lao Gou, was trapped in the belly of the Bakeng fish with the big-headed Buddha back then, and his body was not as solid as the big-headed Buddha. Gou Banxian originally wanted to live a peaceful life for a few days, but Lao Gou's situation was not good, and he was about to run out of oil and the lamp was dry, so Gou Banxian had no choice but to look for ways and things to prolong his life along the river. The god hexagram door is a god and a god, Lao Gou sensed that there would be a divine object on this side of the Prancing Horse Beach, so he rushed here.

"I found you a long time ago, but I didn't dare to get too close or say hello." Gou Banxian looked at me eagerly, but he couldn't open his mouth, I understood that he might have remembered that I had promised him a life extension map.

"Do you know what's coming out of the water at Prancing Horse Beach?"

"The river beach was full of people, and I didn't dare to look closer, but I only heard a few neighing horses, vaguely, and I really didn't see what it was, and when the crowd dispersed, the things in the river floated away again."

"Look at this, then." I took out the feather that had inadvertently stuck to my shoe and handed it to Gou Banxian.

The gray feathers have lost their original golden light, and there is only a faint gold mark at the base of the feather. This feather is much heavier than ordinary bird feathers, Gou Banxian took the feather and looked at it, the mung bean's little eyes were shining, and while looking back and forth, he muttered silently.

"Where did this hair come from!?" Gou Banxian looked at it for a while, his eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't tell whether he was nervous or excited in his tone, and looked up and asked me: "There are only bird feathers, what about the bird?" ”

"Do you recognize this thing?"

"I don't dare to say I recognize it, it's just a guess." Gou Banxian's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he shivered and took out a few pieces of tortoise shell from his body, and said, "I'll do the math, where exactly did this thing come from." ”

The Heavenly Machine God is unique, and many things can be deduced, but there are some things that dare not be said casually. Gou Banxian pondered the hexagram on the tortoise shell, and after a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Probably it won't be wrong!" Brother, this thing is from the extreme west! ”

"Far West? Is it a sanctuary? "When I heard the word Far West, I reflexively remembered the Sanctuary in the ice and snow.

"No, it's farther away than the Sanctuary." Gou Banxian held the gray feather, as if holding a holy object, and said, "Brother, do you know the Xuanniao?" ”

It is rumored that Jian Di ate an egg of Xuanniao, and then gave birth to the ancestor of Shang, so there is an allusion to the Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, which will give birth to Shang. The Xuanniao in this allusion refers to the swallow. But in other allusions in the legend, the Suzaku is also called a Xuanniao, in short, a divine bird with divinity.

"Nine times out of ten, this feather comes from the ancestral bird of Xuanniao." Gou Banxian didn't dare to hold the bird feather anymore, so he stuffed it to me like a charcoal, and said: "It is rumored that the ancestral bird of the Xuanhuang Bird is called the Xuanhuang Bird, and it lives in a place that is more west than the Holy Land, but how can this ancestral feather of the Xuanhuang Bird be on the big river beach?" ”

Gou Banxian explained in detail, the Xuanhuang ancestral bird has great powers, it is said that it has lived for 6,000 years, and it lives by hunting birds of prey in the extreme west, the Xuanhuang ancestral bird is mighty and superb, when it spreads its wings and soars into the sky, all the birds retreat, and it is the king of birds. There is only one such ancestral bird, but as early as the time of Emperor Yao, the Xuanhuang ancestral bird died.

No one has ever seen the living Xuanhuang Ancestral Bird with their own eyes, but the anecdotes that have been handed down over the years, even if they are illusory, always have a basis and reason. As soon as Gou Banxian said this, some clues seemed to be clearer. This Xuanhuang bird died before King Yu ruled the water, so it is very likely that King Yu put the body of the Xuanhuang Ancestral Bird in an ancient car and sank it to the bottom of the river to suppress the painting at the bottom of the river.

From this, I remembered the scene where the black evil spirit sucked the divine light outside the Xuanhuang Ancestral Bird's body, although the Xuanhuang Ancestral Bird has been dead for many years, the remnants of the Emperor of Birds are still there, no one can get close to the ancient carriage, only the black evil spirit, not only close, but also take away the divine light. What is the origin of that black evil spirit?

My heart became heavier and heavier, just because of the murderous intent that the black evil spirit once revealed, it made me feel that it would be a powerful enemy, and if it didn't do anything to me today, it might be something that had to be suffered, but its killing intent existed, and sooner or later it would attack. The Xuanhuang Bird Ancestor turned into rotten bones, and the sky is about to collapse, and the elders of the temple, the holy lord of the holy realm, and the Miao Zun of Jiuli may all come to the big river beach one after another.

I thought about it, I promised Gou Banxian that I would definitely give him a life continuation map, and now it's time to cash it in. I also wanted to go to the bottom of the river and see with my own eyes what had changed at the bottom of the river. But when I was on the road, I was worried about Zhong Liancheng, after all, he was not my own person, and I couldn't take him to my residence.

"I also want to see what is going on at the bottom of the river, if you want to do something, you can go." Zhong Liancheng was very knowledgeable, as if he knew the doubts in my heart, and when he stepped in his footsteps, he said, "I'll wait for you here." ”

"Okay." I raised my feet and left, but just after a few steps out, Zhong Liancheng called out to me again.

"Don't be in such a hurry." Zhong Liancheng said: "The last line of defense left by Dayu back then has collapsed, whether it is the Holy Land or Jiuli, what we have to do now is to wait for the things at the bottom of the river to attack, which is not something that can be stopped by manpower." ”
