Chapter 183: Soaring to 90,000 Miles
At this critical moment, Qin Zhen saw Zhuo Ya suddenly rushing out in the wind! The raging wind and snow ruffled her long fluttering hair and lifted her snow-white clothes.
In this devastating snowstorm, Zhuoya was like a snow girl, a fairy on a snowy mountain, standing gracefully between the wind and snow, and slowly sounded the bone flute.
Qin Zhen looked at Zhuoya in the wind and snow in surprise, the only color in the sky and earth in the blizzard was her green silk flying like ink.
Qin Zhen couldn't help but want to rush out and pull Zhuoya back, but just as he was about to make a move, he was dragged back by a great force! Qin Zhen looked back and saw that the person who dragged him was none other than Yudong.
Regardless of whether he would be poured with snow and wind when he opened his mouth to speak, Qin Zhen yelled at Yudong in confusion: "Xia Yudong! What the hell is going on with you? She's here to come up to this damn snowy mountain for us, so you just look at it like that?? ”
Yudong forcibly held down the excited Qin Zhen and replied loudly: "You stay honest for me!" Just take care of yourself! Didn't you see her playing that flute? Haven't you always wondered what the Roc is that can take us to Shangri-La? I think we'll find out soon! ”
Qin Zhen understood as if he had just woken up from a dream that Zhuo Yana was summoning Dapeng. Qin Zhen looked at Zhuoya and a girl standing alone in the wind and snow, and suddenly forgot what birds and what Dapeng was. Now that Yu Dong said this, Qin Zhen understood Zhuoya's intentions.
It's just that even so, now I look at Zhuoya's slender figure crumbling in the blizzard. It's still unbearable.
If it were the original, maybe Qin Zhen would think that Yudong was too cold-blooded. But now they know each other too well. Qin Zhen knew that Yudong really didn't have any choice. Now that we've come to this point, we have to gamble even if we don't recover! If he really fails, then all the sins will be borne by him......
Thinking of this, Qin Zhen gritted his teeth and looked at Zhuo Ya in the wind and snow, praying over and over again, praying that the legendary guide Dapeng would really appear! Maybe Qin Zhen was not a devout enough believer to get the great power of faith. But at this moment, his pious mood is definitely not lower than that of those monks who turn mountains and rivers and pagodas.
The wind screams. But he couldn't suppress the beautiful and strange flute sound that Zhuoya blew. The voice was high-pitched. Extraordinary! It's hard to imagine the sound of shock coming from that little bone flute.
Yu Dong repeatedly told Qin Zhen not to move, and then he personally walked to Zhuo Ya's side against the wind. He probably wanted to see how it was going, and also to ensure Zoya's safety. After all, the source of a qiē clue is just a legend, those ethereal things. You can't help but believe it. Nor can it be fully believed. In case that Roc doesn't end up either. Can't let Zhuoya lose her life here in vain.
But at this time, Zhuoya suddenly stopped the sound of the flute, and she stretched out her hand and excitedly pointed to the northwest sky!
Qin Zhen looked up. immediately pushed Lao Gu and Jiang Qi beside him, and then they all looked in the direction that Zhuo Ya pointed.
From the northwest sky, a huge object appeared from the snowstorm!! The reason why I say it's an object...... Is it because they can't imagine that thing could be a bird?
The blizzard at this moment, the wind like a storm! But he can't resist the big guy's wings and fly! With a high-pitched howl, the solemn sound was extremely penetrating, and it seemed to be able to sprinkle every corner of the entire snow-capped mountain! Just this long howl is enough to prove that this thing is not very similar.
As that thing flew closer and closer, Qin Zhen and the others couldn't help but start to retreat step by step. They even forgot about the catastrophic wind and snow in front of them, and only stared at the behemoth hovering in the sky in a daze!
Fly this thing...... Birds indeed. It's just that it's not the kind of special bird similar to the Goldfinch that Qin Zhen thought, and it's not a mutated monster. It's a very normal ...... An indescribable giant bird! At least, birds currently known to humans will not have such a body size.
When its wings are opened, it is eight or nine meters long! A pair of sharp eyes seem to be able to pierce a qiē. If it weren't for its feathers and form, it would have revealed that it was indeed a bird...... Then Qin Zhen and the others must have felt that they had returned to the Jurassic period and encountered a pterodactyl.
Unable to determine whether this huge bird was good or evil, Qin Zhen could only shout against the wind: "Xia Yudong!" Hurry up and come back with Zoya! This guy is too big, and if it comes out to feed, we're going to be finished! ”
Yudong escorted Zhuoya back to everyone's side, and said with surprise on his face: "That's right, this is Peng!" It's Kunpeng's Peng! ”
"What, what? Kunpeng? Are you kidding? You still don't think we have enough myths here? Qin Zhen looked at Yu Dong in disbelief, wondering why he suddenly determined the identity of this giant bird. And also gave it the identity of an ancient god bird.
Kunpeng, maybe no one will not know. It is an ancient bird known to the world, a legendary giant bird. Or, it can also be said that it is a fish.
Zhuangzi. It was once said in "Getaway": There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.
This combination of two animals, fish and birds, was originally regarded only as a myth. Zhuangzi used a majestic and exaggerated style to describe a kind of exotic bird that the world could not imagine. If this thing in front of you is the king of birds, then no one will have any objections.
Now Yu Dong is so conclusive that this thing is Kunpeng, and it must be his reason.
If the reason for this is really investigated, it probably has a lot to do with the unique reason for the formation of Tibet. If the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the highest area around the Himalayas were once really a vast ocean, then perhaps Zhuangzi really used mythological brushwork to record this kind of creature that once existed in ancient times - Kunpeng.
What Zhuangzi said is: turn into a bird, and its name is Peng.
It might be common to think that this is saying that a fish becomes a bird. No matter how you think about it, it's completely impossible, it's pure myth.
In connection with the special geographical environment of Tibet, can Lao Zhuang's words be understood in this way: it was indeed in the sea, and it was in the ancient Mediterranean Sea where the Himalayas once were. But the vicissitudes of life have changed its fate. When the sea water disappeared completely, it flapped its wings and became the Roc that now guards the Holy Realm!
It can be seen that the ancients had no words. It's just that those exaggerated and supernatural expressions make people mistakenly think that a qiē is just a myth. But what kind of creatures on land today didn't come from the sea?
Zhuo Ya looked up at the Dapeng hovering above them, then looked at the chaotic air vortex around the flag cloud on the top of the mountain, and finally said to Qin Zhen and the others, "Let's let it take us in......"
"It? Take us there? Where to? How to get there? I say goddess...... Oh no, it's a goddess...... We're not kidding! I know you love animals and live in peace with snowmen. But the snowman is also a primate, and this bird has no emotion and no intelligence! Is it really okay for us to do this? Lao Gu said to Zhuoya very skeptically.
Without waiting for Zhuoya to explain, Yudong spoke first: "It has to be like this, this is the last step to Shangri-La." Ride the Roc and it will definitely take us through that turbulence successfully. I knew that the gates of Shangri-La were in the wind......"
Qin Zhen and the others were in a mess now, and they didn't have time to think about what Yudong was talking about! But now that Yu Dong has opened his mouth, no matter how seemingly unreliable things are, they have to be executed!
There are five of them, and there is no problem at all for them to sit on this roc. It's just that this huge bird really can't give people a sense of security...... Until it slowly landed not far in front of Zhuo Ya, Qin Zhen still didn't dare to take a step forward.
But since this giant bird can stand in front of Zhuoya, it can at least explain a problem. That is, it should be very similar to the snowman, both recognize people. At the very least, they all recognize Shangri-La as guardians.
Zhuoya saw what the giant bird meant, so she walked out calmly and with great peace of mind. Originally, Qin Zhen wanted to stop Zhuoya, but he didn't expect that when Zhuoya stood in front of the giant bird, the strange bird was like the snowman, and they all showed respect and humility.
This is already very clear. This giant bird named Peng is indeed not like what Lao Gu said, he has no emotion and no IQ. It not only has feelings, but also a lot of feelings. Like a psychic, it knows what it is going to do, what it should do, and who it is for.
didn't have time to hesitate, Yudong dragged Qin Zhen and they ran to Dapeng. The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier, and it will be too late if you don't leave. And I finally waited for this Kunpeng to lead the way, of course, I have to bet on whether the legend is true!
Qin Zhen and the others successively lay on the back of the giant bird, holding the bird's back tightly. It's a real feeling of forgetting to die, and they can trust a bird......
Soon, this giant bird more than ten meters in size carried several of them into the sky and straight into the sky!! Between the spinning of the world, there is really a feeling of soaring up to 90,000 miles!
It's just that in this environment, they can't open their eyes at all. This also indirectly ruled out the possibility that they could see the Shangri-La path. It's just that the whistling wind in their ears can make them clearly understand, Yudong really guessed correctly...... The entrance to this Shangri-La is in the eye of the wind at the summit of Mount Kinabalu.
The storm howled, and there were bursts of skyrocketing and weightlessness, which made Qin Zhen and the others think that they were going to fall to death several times. They don't even feel like they're on their heads or under their feet. The orientation of the space is completely reversed. The only thing they can do is to hold on to the qiē they can, hoping that this qiē will end soon. (To be continued......)
