Qiqi impatiently quickened his pace and tried to shake him off, but he couldn't. Her father had made it clear that he was going with her to the hinterland of the South. This is the only way he can express his resentment.

"Why did my father want me to take you there?" he muttered.

Yumin followed behind Qiqi, always keeping a wing's distance at all times, and she was afraid that the noble bird prince would suddenly make a move on her. Her judgment was obviously related to Qi Qi's rude attitude, but she knew too little about Qi Qi, and he would undoubtedly give priority to his father's wishes over venting his own emotions.

Poor Qi stopped.

"Bastard, are you a spy sent by humans to our bird country?"

"Lord Qiqi, the little girl is loyal to the bird country, and there is no second heart. She hurriedly bowed her head to make amends for her bloodline.

"You have to prove it to me first, and only then will I allow you to go with me. ”

Yumin's eyes purred twice: "I don't know how the little girl confirms it?"

"Come with me!" said Qiqi.

He shuttled through the huge nests, and everywhere he passed, the lowly birds bowed their heads to him, and he was in high spirits and enjoyed the pride of the stars holding the moon. Soon, his sturdy paws led him to a rather narrow passageway, into which he bent down and slowly crept in, flanked by nests of stout elm wood, each with a number of painted flags fluttering in the wind.

It is a "Human Art Heritage Area" in the "Art Capital of Birds", where artworks made by humans are stored and analyzed for appreciation, and many bird artists are full of praise. Poor Qi was dismissive of this, and he felt that it was a great shame that birds should not bow their heads to learn from people.

However, he rejected the idea a long time ago, because he admitted that humans were indeed superior to them in these useless tasks.

Among the many works of art, the one that makes Poor Qi feel the most strange and confused is the "Thangka".

"Lord Poor. The bird guards guarding the art gallery bowed their heads and saluted.

"Grab someone, make a thangka. Qi Qi instructed.

"Yes, I'll send it to you right away. ”

"Thangka...... What is it?" asked Yumin timidly. She wanted to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Qiqi, at least to the extent that she didn't have to worry about it all day.

"You don't know the thangka?" asked Poor Qi disdainfully, "you never visited the art museum?"

In Qiqi's cognition, all birds must come to the art museum to receive history education, this is the rule set by the snow owl in charge of education, Emperor Shaohao is very respectful, they all agree that the people of the bird country must know the tragic history of the bird war, shame and courage to recast the absolute rule of the bird country.

Yumin shook her head.

"Oh?" said Qi Qi coldly, "you don't even know that history, what kind of loyalty are you talking about?"

"I ......" Yumin's eyes were moist, as if she would cry at any time.

"Lord Qiqi, people are ready. ”

"Follow me. Qi Qi scolded Yumin, and then walked deeper into the art museum.

Yumin hurriedly followed, and silently decided in his heart that he must behave in a way that convinces the poor adults.

The three of them walked into the revolving corridor and headed further underground.

Not long after, Yumin smelled a pungent smell, followed by the sound of a person crying. She got goosebumps. The blood relationship made her feel pity every time she heard the human begging for mercy, and she deliberately suppressed this compassion, but not once succeeded.

The same was true now, and she couldn't help but retreat when she heard the man's heart-rending wail.

"You bastard, are you hesitating?"

The sensitively aware of her fear, Qiqi turned his head sharply, staring into her eyes with a sharp gaze.

"My lord, I didn't!" Yumin quickly shook his head.

"Hmph, boring. ”

Poor Qi continued to walk down.

"There is still a chance, you hurry up and tell your father, you don't dare to go to the south. ”

Yumin bit her lip tightly: "My lord, I can do it." ”

Qi Qi cursed her in his heart for being a shameless guy. He increased his steps, and the soles of his feet squeaked against the wooden floor, startling the leading bird in front of him.

At last they entered a hot round room, filled with snow-white steam, and in the center was a person fixed by a shelf, who shook her body in panic, her eyes lost her voice, and her mouth was saying to let her go. To her left was a large tripod containing mercury extracted from cinnabar, and the top of the room was hollowed out, illuminating the inside with the red light of the sky.

Poor Qi cleared the steam that filled the room, and the human woman was completely revealed to them.

Yumin saw the poor woman's appearance clearly—she was already painted with all kinds of heroic postures of bird ancestors, grand scenes of battles with birdmen, from her feet to her head, and even her face was full of colorful patterns. She saw the beautiful wings of Emperor Shaohao to protect the world, the story of the ghost car and bird abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, the tragedy of the phoenix resisting the death of thousands of arrows and finally dying in the hands of the Yellow Emperor, and the graceful posture of poisoning the water dove and the water...... There are also many well-known heroic deeds that are presented one by one.

"It's ......"

"This is the thangka," said Poor Qi, who did not like to hear the cries of humans, frowning, "the art of painting human skin." ”

"What am I going to do?"

"Just peel her skin off. Don't break it, it can take many years to draw a thangka. ”

The leading bird on the side nodded again and again, and glanced at Qi Qi gratefully.

Peel?

Yumin shivered for a while, and her skin felt pain.

"Why? Don't you dare?"

"Excuse me...... How?"

"Let him teach you. Poor Qi sat leisurely on the sidelines.

"Please come with me," the Guiding Bird looked at the red-eyed bird that looked a little like a human, reacting that she was the freak of the human-bird hybrid, and respectfully guided her into the human female, "I have to make her stand up straight." ”

Yumin reached under her squeaky nest with both hands, straightened her up, and then tightened her to the pillar with a rope.

During this time, the woman was still frantically resisting, but her limbs had long been tied, and any resistance would be futile.

Yumin pursed her lips and looked back at Qiqi.

Qi Qi stared at her with a grim gaze.

Cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and she hurriedly asked, "What's next?"

The Leader Bird bent down, pulled out a silver knife from Ding's side, and handed it to her.

She looked at the knife in her hand, the edge of the knife was quite sharp, and it was estimated that a single touch could cut a wound.

"Drill a small hole in the top of her head, separate the skin and bones at the edge of the hole, and finally pour mercury little by little along the gap. The leader bird stretched out its paws and gestured a width, "The skin and bones are roughly separated like this—"

"Please, eat me!"

The dying woman howled and cried after hearing this, her voice was extremely sharp, and Qi Qi on the side was not mentally prepared, she was shocked by her actions for a moment, and her feathers couldn't help but straighten up.

Yumin was even more shocked when she heard this, she couldn't imagine what kind of bird artists could get along with such cruel ways of making, and they actually called this kind of thing "works of art"?

It turns out that those are all human skins!

- But this is the "Artistic Heritage Area of Humanity", and this method was invented by themselves.

Why do humans treat humans like this?

The blood flowing in her body turned into a touch that she could directly feel, and she suddenly felt extremely dirty. My stomach was churning, and I was about to vomit at lunch.

"Please, eat me...... Don't ——! eat me, eat me!"

The woman shook her body desperately, she wanted to bite her tongue and kill herself, but the bird had already prepared and gave her herbs to numb her body before.

In fact, it is useless to commit suicide, both humans and birds know that people do not die, even if she keeps committing suicide, it will not help, but this is quite a waste of the birds' time, so it is better to let her live well.

"I'm willing to give it to you! I'm willing to ...... I beg you to ......"

Ummin hopes that he can become deaf.

Qi Qi's voice came from behind him: "It's funny, humans can come up with this kind of crafting method. ”

"What's so interesting about this?!"

Yumin couldn't control her emotions and couldn't help but growl.

Qi Qi stretched his tightly knit brows, revealing a look of sudden realization: "You really ......"

"Lord Qiqi spares her life," she quickly knelt on the ground and said, realizing her trespassing, "little girl...... The little girl immediately peeled off her skin......"

"Really, do it for me. ”

Qiqi's gaze lingered in his mind.

She shuddered and turned to ascend the stone steps, her hands gently pressing the woman's skull.

"Don't kill me! don't!" the woman screamed as she noticed ten fingers on her head.

Ten fingers?

"It's human...... You're human, save me, you're here to save me, aren't you?!" she burst into tears, "Help me!"

Hearing her words, Yumin's heart suddenly beat sharply, and the blood in her body seemed to be boiling, and sweat was like rain.

Is she a human or a bird?

"I ......"

"Are you going to show your true face?" Qi Qi was extremely excited, "Hurry, say you don't dare!"

"I ......"

Yumin's right hand suddenly moved, and a regular circle appeared on the top of the woman's head.

"Ah——!h

"Ummin-sama is really a good craft. The bird on the side turned a deaf ear to the woman's scream and applauded, "Cut the skin a little apart," he gestured with his paw to the width of Yumin, "and the next thing is to pour mercury, which is a delicate job." ”

Poor Qi was silent.

Yumin felt that her heart was screaming with the woman.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......

I'm a bird...... I'm a bird.

She moved her hands in despair, the touch of the tip of the knife touching her skull and her arm into her brain, a brilliant red light shining on her and the woman.

I must have been purified......

She couldn't help but cry.

That must be Khan......
