Chapter 450: Mysterious Disappearance
Listening to Mr. Chen talk about the origin of the "Monkey Eagle", we were indeed shocked, through these, we have a deeper understanding of this magical "Monkey Eagle", but then, through Mr. Chen's narration, let us discover the "Monkey Eagle", another bigger secret, and this secret, even the old man Ouyang does not know.
Mr. Chen was very engaged, he took a sip of water, and without waiting for us to interject, he continued to speak:
"The ornithologist was very surprised to see an archaeologist come to him, he never thought that his discovery could have anything to do with archaeology, but when the archaeologist showed him a picture, the ornithologist was completely shocked!
This photograph is a mural in the Egyptian pyramids, and this mural is in the shape of a strange bird - I saw that this strange bird is a 'monkey head bird body', which is almost exactly the same as the two strange birds that ornithologists saw in Africa.
Could it be that those two strange birds are the mythical birds on the murals in the Egyptian pyramids? It's unbelievable.
After listening to the archaeologists talk about the records of the sacred birds, the ornithologists feel more and more that the two strange birds should be the mythical birds in Egyptian legends, because from the process of the two strange birds and the hunting of giant eagles, the intelligence of that kind of strange birds is too high, not to mention compared with ordinary birds, even compared with human intelligence, it is not inferior, therefore, it can definitely be regarded as a 'divine bird'.
These two experts in different fields talked about it late at night, and finally they decided to go to that place in Africa together to observe this strange bird, and it would be better to catch one of them, which would surely shake the academic world.
After a few months of travel, the two finally came to that place in Africa. This time, after more detailed observation, more secrets of that strange bird were also discovered by them one by one.
The two of them found that the number of such strange birds was very small, and they had never seen three at the same time, at most two. They also noticed that during the day, when the giant eagle encountered this strange bird, it was not afraid, but would take the initiative to attack them very fiercely, but with the intelligence of that strange bird, it could always escape easily.
But at night, this strange bird can easily hunt the giant eagle, and the relationship between the two birds is really wonderful.
The two racked their brains, and thought of a lot of ways to catch a strange bird, all of which ended in failure, it is said that ornithologists are also experts in bird hunting, but all kinds of bird hunting methods in the past, for that kind of strange birds, all failed, what clips, nets, cages, etc., were all easily recognized by that kind of strange birds.
When the two were about to give up, the archaeologist suddenly remembered something - that is, in the account of this bird, such an incident was mentioned:
Once, a tailor who made clothes for Pharaoh, for some unknown reason, caused Pharaoh great fear, because the tailor, in the presence of Pharaoh and the sacred bird, took out a bone needle and prepared to sew a beautiful decoration on the spot.
For this detail, the archaeologist has always been puzzled, he has never been able to understand, what is the reason for the "pharaoh killed the tailor in anger"? For the sake of the bone needle? But a bone needle is basically not lethal, as for being so scared?
But after dealing with strange birds for so long, archaeologists seem to have suddenly figured out - this kind of strange birds, as if they can detect everything that can threaten their lives in advance, is it only for this kind of bone needle, but not in advance? If bone needles cannot be detected in advance, then other bone products cannot be detected in advance?
So, after repeated discussions, the two decided to give it a try.
They used the bones of a leopard to make a bird-catching clip, which was very clever, and then the two of them used the sap of a special plant to dye this bone clip green, and quietly arranged it on a rainy night to the place where the strange bird haunted. Then, the two of them were coated with anti-body odor drugs, and they also lay in ambush at a nearby hole, taking turns to observe them all the time.
To the delight of the two, their method did work, and a strange bird was actually caught in their bone clip.
Because the attack power of this strange bird is also very strong, when the clamp is clamped, the ornithologist does not dare to delay at all, and suddenly runs out of the hole, and shoots an anesthetic needle into the strange bird, and then the two of them quickly turn the strange bird into a bag, and in this way, they successfully catch one.
When they brought the bird back to Paris, it caused a stir, and the local newspaper carried it in large articles, and it was exhibited in a museum in Paris for a few days, causing a sensation in the zoological and archaeological circles.
But somehow, a month later, this strange bird managed to escape, and since then, no one has ever seen this kind of bird, although a large number of researchers have gone to that place in Africa, but no one has ever found that kind of strange bird, and since then, this strange bird seems to have completely disappeared from the world.
However, fortunately, in that short month, some ornithologists in France did a lot of research on the strange bird, and through the study of their surprising discovery, the intelligence level of the strange bird was very high, almost comparable to human intelligence, and this alone was too shocking.
Not only that, but the sense of smell of that strange bird is at least 10,000 times sharper than that of a dog.
The most amazing thing is that this bird has an extra piece of meat on its throat, like a human appendix, and if this piece of meat is removed, it will pronounce more like a human being, and even be able to speak simple sentences, and this bird learns language very quickly. In just one month, that bird was able to pronounce simple French words, and even short sentences".
Hearing this, all of us were almost stunned.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the "Monkey Eagle" and found that it was also listening very attentively, as if it could understand Mr. Chen's words.
"Then to get rid of the throat of this piece of meat, do you still need to do a surgery", Old Man Ouyang couldn't help but ask Old Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen smiled slightly and said: "That's not necessary, when my classmate came, he specially brought a medicine, dissolved it in water, and gave my 'monkey bird' to drink, and in less than ten minutes, the piece of meat in the throat of the 'monkey bird' disappeared, and as soon as the piece of meat disappeared, the 'monkey bird' can really make some simple statements, and it is really similar to talking to people, which is really amazing."
According to my classmate, before he came, he went to a research institute in France and saw the piece of meat - although after so many years, France has still kept it, and after my classmate's test, I found out that it was not actually a piece of meat, but a special kind of stone, which can be easily dissolved as long as it is a weakly acidic drug with the opposite nature. ”
"Then do you still have this medicine, can you give me a little bit?" Old man Ouyang asked excitedly.
"Of course you can, this kind of bird is affectionate, righteous, and smart, I feel very kind when I see it, you wait a minute", after speaking, Mr. Chen stood up, took out a bottle of medicine from the drawer next to him, and put two grains in a cup full of water, and the water in the cup immediately turned pale red.
Old man Ouyang took the glass of water and poured it into the "Monkey Eagle", the "Monkey Eagle" seemed to be drinking a little painfully, and after drinking it, he couldn't help coughing heavily, and the old man Ouyang observed nervously.
After about three or four minutes, the "monkey eagle" coughed violently a few times, and suddenly spit out something from its mouth, and then the cough stopped.
"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie", when from the mouth of the "monkey eagle", after saying these two sentences, we were all stunned, although we have heard the parrot scholar speak before, but it is all mechanical imitation, and the "monkey eagle" said "Xie Lu Xie", it is a conscious expression, this is amazing!
However, looking at such a strange-looking bird with such a clear human voice, I still feel a little chill down my spine, if a living person sees such a strange bird, can speak human words, and is not scared to death.
And Old Man Ouyang was flushed with excitement, and thanked Mr. Chen again and again.
"Mr. Chen, what about your 'monkey-headed bird'? Why didn't you see it? The madman on the side suddenly asked.
Hearing the madman Liu's question, the faces of the old couple immediately became extremely lost and sad, and the old lady couldn't help but shed tears.
And Mr. Chen let out a long sigh, and said in a trembling voice: "Alas, my 'monkey-headed bird' disappeared last year, and I can't find it, I have run all over the neighborhood, just that valley, I have been to it countless times, but I haven't seen any trace of it, and I can't figure it out, why is such a bird smarter than people disappearing without making a sound?" I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've been crying for months, and when I think about it, I cry as if one of my relatives has suddenly disappeared. ”
After listening to this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, because no one thought that this kind of 'monkey eagle' would disappear, and even the labyrinthine cave could not trap it, and it was definitely not because it was lost and could not come back; Even the nature of this bird would never do this, and we have all seen their affection and loyalty to their owners.
Old man Ouyang seemed to feel the same way, and silently patted Mr. Chen's shoulder, which was a kind of comfort, but he didn't know what to do, for that watermelon-sized thing, the madman glanced at it a few times, as if he had thought of something.
After listening to Mr. Chen's words, none of us spoke, but just looked at each other, because a few of us almost had a thought in our minds: Could it be that the disappearance of Mr. Chen's "monkey eagle" is related to the Japanese in the valley? Or was it done by a tall blind man?
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had become so dull, Kenya quickly changed the subject and said, "Well, this bird is really amazing, so did you ask your classmate?" Why did this bird appear in our place? Didn't you say that it appeared in Africa? ”
Hearing Kenya's question, Mr. Chen calmed down his emotions and said slowly: "Yes, of course I have this question, in fact, my classmates don't know very well, but he said that we in China, in fact, there are records about this kind of bird, which first appeared in the "Continuation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", this bird is called "Zhong Qi Bird", it is said that this bird is 'human face bird body'.
The first by a warlock, I don't know how to use, this kind of bird can speak human language, when marching and fighting, it can be used as a 'signal bird' to transmit information, and the flag of the vanguard officer in the ancient army is used as a pattern.
As for why there is such a bird in this mountain, it may be related to the natural environment here, in fact, I don't know when there is a legend about this bird in our area. ”
Maybe Mr. Chen still doesn't know how to say that in this mountain, there is not only a "monkey eagle", but also that kind of giant eagle.
Just as we were chatting, a voice suddenly appeared: "Giant Eagle Egg, Giant Eagle Egg", and everyone was surprised - the voice was actually made by "Monkey Eagle"!
"Where are the eagle eggs?" Hongmei asked nervously, while Monkey Eagle pointed to the watermelon-sized thing with her wings. Mr. Chen and his wife were also stunned, and they quickly turned their heads to look at the round thing, could this thing really be a giant eagle egg?
