This bird turned out to be Wu Zetian's pet? Not only us, but even my cousin was taken aback - he is an expert in history, and his cousin knows almost everything about historical records, but obviously he has never heard of what Old Man Yuan said, and it is no wonder that Old Man Yuan also said just now that this kind of historical record was officially deleted by the Qing Dynasty after the Ming Dynasty, and gradually became unknown to future generations.

Unexpectedly, not only is this bird extremely weird, but its experience is even more incredible.

Old man Yuan continued: "Actually, this kind of bird almost killed Wu Zetian, if Wu Zetian is really killed, history may have to be rewritten.

After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, some anti-Wu Zetian Li royal families began to plan to assassinate Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian was very strict in prevention, just in terms of food, not only had to go through a lot of tasting procedures, but also pharmacists who were proficient in various poisons to help her check at all levels to prevent all kinds of chronic poisons.

Moreover, the place where she sleeps will also be changed at any time, and the defense work around her is even more leaky, and she can only play right five steps away without special approval.

Not only that, in order to prevent political enemies from using spells to harm her, Wu Zetian also had several Taoist priests around him, all of whom were the most proficient in strange arts at that time, to help Wu Zetian crack the threat in this regard.

This made it difficult for those political enemies to start, and later, a monk took the initiative to ask Ying to help these political enemies get rid of Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian has a hobby - that is, she likes to raise birds very much, not only thrushes, larks, parrots and other beautiful birds, Wu Zetian likes it very much, she loves eagles, eagles and other birds of prey, and raises a lot.

So, the monk set up a clever plan - to kill Wu Zetian with a bird. The monk personally went out and presented an unusually beautiful bird to Wu Zetianjin, that is, the kind you saw just now, to say something off-topic, you were in the cave just now, and asked me what the attack power of that bird was, and I will answer this question first:

In order to better illustrate the attack power of that bird, we can compare it with the 'monkey eagle', because you may already be familiar with the attack power of the "monkey eagle", I heard my grandfather tell me that in the cave we went to just now, he raised the bird and eight 'monkey eagles', one day, for some reason, the bird and the eight 'monkey eagles' fought, as a result, the eight 'monkey eagles' were killed by the bird, and the other two were also dying, and the bird has not yet used its own 'killer weapon'.

You may not understand why the bird is so powerful because it doesn't have sharp beaks and claws, and it's not big. This is because its attack power comes from its 'feathers' - as I said earlier, its colorful 'feathers' are actually a kind of skin fiber, or it can be said to be a kind of tentacles, and these tentacles have countless tiny stingers.

When fighting, these tentacles, like the tentacles of an octopus, suddenly become very long, can wrap the other party tightly, the strength of the muscle fibers is very great, I have seen, the bird can crush the stone with a single tentacle, what is even more terrifying is that its tentacles can also stretch out the stinger, and once stung by that kind of stinger, the meat begins to rot, and will rot all the way to the bone.

In addition, this highly intelligent bird is very similar to the "monkey eagle" - extremely loyal to the owner who raised it, and will never betray it. It is precisely because of these characteristics that this bird has become the best choice for assassinating Wu Zetian.

When Wu Zetian saw this bird, she really liked it very much, but she was also very vigilant, and although she accepted the bird, she put the bird in a cage.

The wood used to build that kind of cage is very special, produced in the Zhongnan Mountain, and it cannot become an independent tree by itself, but can only parasitize on the trunk of sandalwood, this kind of wood, has a special fragrance, as long as it is put in the house, there will never be mosquitoes, fleas, and flies in the house. In addition, this fragrance, for people, is also beneficial to the brain and smooth the meridians.

But this kind of wood is different for birds, no matter how fierce the bird of prey, as long as it is put in a cage made of this wood, it is like getting drunk, and becomes delirious and extremely docile.

That monk, I didn't expect Wu Zetian to have this hand, but when it came to this, he was helpless.

In this way, the bird he sacrificed, once it was locked in this kind of cage, it was like other birds of prey, like taking ecstasy, and became extremely docile, and Wu Zetian used this method to easily turn the danger into a disaster.

And that bird later became Wu Zetian's favorite bird, and it was precisely because of this relationship with Wu Zetian that this bird was called the 'Phoenix Empress'. ”

I didn't expect that strange bird to have such an unusual origin, and through the old man Guò Yuan's words, we also learned about that kind of bird, terrifying attack ability.

"Usually, if I am alone at home, the bird is around me, but today you came, so I let it go to that hole, it is my secret weapon, with it, even ten tall blind people, it may not be its opponent, so I don't worry at all."

After Old Man Yuan showed his "secret weapon", we all relaxed our hearts.

"Then can we use that bird against the blind man? That way, we have a good helper. Xiao Lei said excitedly.

"Of course you can, but after listening to what you said, I think that the tall blind man is the best at sneak attacks, and he has extraordinary mind-reading ability, so his biggest advantage is not face-to-face hard fighting, but his tricks." Listening to Old Man Yuan's analysis, we all nodded again and again, he really hit the nail on the head.

We are in the light, and the blind man is in the dark, and he knows far more about us than we know about him, and this is what gives us the most headache.

This visit to Old Man Yuan, I really gained a lot, look at the time, it was already late at night, we also got up to say goodbye, and decided to visit again tomorrow.

It was still cloudy outside, the night was dark and I couldn't see my fingers, and the wind was blowing stronger and stronger, it was really "the wind was high and the moon was dark", a few of us took a flashlight, in the whirring night wind, and walked to Mr. Chen's home.

I don't know why, I always feel that in the whirring wind, there seems to be a kind of laughter, this can't be my personal illusion, because not only me, Xiao Lei and a few of them, have also heard it, we can't help but get nervous, more vigilantly observe the surroundings.

Thankfully, however, there were no incidents.

When we returned home, the two female assistants, Mr. Chen's wife, and Old Man Ouyang had not slept yet, and they seemed extremely nervous, and the two female assistants were still holding daggers in their hands, and when they saw us coming back, they breathed a sigh of relief and said, just now, they heard a few terrible laughs, which is why they were so nervous.

Hearing them say that, we were all taken aback, what's going on? How could they hear that kind of smirk at home? So who's laughing? Is it a high blind man? Or is it someone else?

At this time, the "monkey eagle" flew back from outside, and it turned out that after hearing the caracal laughter, it immediately flew out, and as soon as it went out, the caracal laughter gradually disappeared.

However, in this kind of windy day, the ability of the "monkey eagle" to rely on olfactory tracking will be greatly restricted, because the residual smell can easily drift away in the strong wind.

Everyone waited for another hour or so, and the kind of cruel laughter did not appear again, so everyone went back to their rooms to sleep, but just in case, Xiao Lei and I took turns on duty, of course, there was also the "monkey eagle" to accompany us, it is our most important "line of defense".

When everyone went to sleep, it was just me and Monkey Eagle, and I sat in the dark room, watching the movement outside vigilantly from the window. Although it was already the second half of the night, I didn't feel sleepy at all, thinking about what happened tonight: Old Man Yuan, that strange bird, when I was at Old Man Yuan's house, the black shadow outside the window, and the mysterious cruel laughter.

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, in the whirring wind, I heard a slight gurgling sound, as if someone was laughing! I quickly held my breath and listened carefully, but I could hear nothing but the whirring wind.

"Maybe it's a few of them who are laughing," I thought to myself, as if comforting myself, but for some reason, I still felt a pang of nervousness in my heart.

But fortunately, that laughter did not appear again, and my tense nerves gradually relaxed.

After another hour or so, I was a little sleepy, so I stood up, gently opened the door, and walked out of the house, hoping that the cool breeze outside could alleviate my sleepiness.

The wind was still so strong, the clouds seemed to be blown away by the wind, the sky was already full of stars, and the night was not so dark, I stood outside for a while, stretched, and the sleepiness subsided a lot, but just as I was about to go in, the gurgling sound sounded again, and this time I was sure that it was definitely not our own laughter, because that laughter came from outside the courtyard.

What to do? Am I going to wake everyone up right away? Or do you want to go over and see for yourself? Just as I hesitated, I vaguely saw a figure walking from the outside—not so much "walking" as "floating", like a legendary ghost—my mind was blank with fright, my bladder contracted for a while, and I almost squirted urine, and my legs were weak when I wanted to run, and I wanted to shout but couldn't.

I tried my best to squeeze a word out of my throat: "Who?" The voice trembled so much that I could hear it myself.

The black shadow stopped three or four meters away, I saw more clearly, he did not have feet, but hung erratically half a meter above the ground, up and down, covered with a black robe, and his hair was scattered, and he was still giggling, the voice was not loud, but it was extremely terrifying, I was so frightened that I almost collapsed on the ground.

At this moment, the "Monkey Eagle" next to it suddenly screamed, soared into the air, and swooped towards the black shadow, but almost at the moment when the "Monkey Eagle" flew up, that very thing fell to the ground, and it disappeared.

I don't seem to remember what happened after that, but when the "Monkey Eagle" flew next to me again, I regained consciousness and realized that I was already sitting on the ground, my back against the door frame, my chest and back, soaked with sweat.

I gritted my teeth and got up from the ground and went back to the house, and I didn't recover for a while. Is that really the hell?

I was trying to wake everyone up, but I calmed down a little, and I thought it was better not to do that, everyone was sleeping soundly now, and the black shadow had disappeared without a trace, and if I made a fuss and called everyone up, wouldn't it seem too timid, what if others said I was hallucinating?

That's it, because of my self-esteem, I still didn't wake everyone up in the end. But what's going on with the shadows?
