Chapter 1 The young man secretly released the heavy bird

【Hongkong Continent after 150,000 years】

1,800 islands float slowly in the air around the sky like stars holding the moon. On one of the small islands called Bienchun Island, a thumb-thick beam of light plunged straight into the center of the island, and the junction between the beam and the island was used as a pivotal eye to draw the formation. Bienchun Island is located at the southwestern end of the Hongkong Continental Group, and the island buildings are all built radially around the pivot area. In the past few days, it has come to the island once every six months to worship the heavens, many people from the island and the outer islands gather to observe, a main road leading to the pivot, shops gathered, people are boiling, a peaceful scene.

"Get out of the way, the spring guards of the island are back. Pedestrians on the road ran to the sides of the road and gave way to the middle of the road.

A middle-aged man wearing a cyan robe and stepping on a seven-star shoe, frowned, and walked quickly towards the pivotal eye. But I couldn't hear him walking. He was followed by a group of samurai dressed in black with the word "Spring Guard" embroidered on the crook of their arms. The four spring guards carried a large bronze birdcage, and a glittering charm clinged to the birdcage.

"This is the island monarch to capture the beast and the beast, tomorrow the sacrifice to the heavens, this beast is fierce and cunning, and the idle people are not allowed to approach to find death", several spring guards shouted in unison on the left and right sides of the cage. After a burst of shouting, the pivotal eye road was silent for a moment, followed by another noise from the crowd, the woman exclaimed, the man screamed, and the chaos became a mess.

In the iron cage was a bird-like beast that looked like a chicken and a phoenix, and its feathers were dazzlingly red. Blood was dripping slowly from the wounds on the wings. The big bird looked listlessly at the humans around him, and upon closer inspection, he found that there were two pupils in each of the birds' eyes.

"Look! The owner has caught a chicken. A little boy about seven or eight years old with a mischievous expression suddenly emerged from the crowded crowd on the side of the road, and shouted in surprise.

"Shut up, like a chicken and a phoenix, with eyes and eyes. How could the island lord go down to the Great Wilderness to catch a chicken and come back! That should be a strange beast and a heavy bird. A well-informed merchant retorted.

"Four-eyed bird," everyone gasped.

The pedestrian of the good thing said in a low voice: "I heard from the people on the main island, the Chongming Bird belongs to the ten major beast clans, and they can't beat them, our island monarch's cultivation is so powerful, I'm afraid it's already in the realm of returning to the law!"

"Did such a beautiful bird do anything wrong?" the little boy asked aloud.

"Pretty fart, the alien beasts are all beasts, they don't blink their eyes when they eat people, if it weren't for the attack of Fazun back then, our Hongkong Continent would not have dropped so many islands, the lives are ruined, and the hatred between humans and beasts is not shared!"

"Yes, yes, don't be sympathetic to beasts. The islanders on the side of the road chattered and discussed.

"Tomorrow, this beast will be sacrificed to the pivotal eye, and the ranking of Bianchun Island can be much advanced, and it will not be our island's turn in the thousand-year-old island landing period. ”

When I grow up, I must repair the Sky Dome so that I don't have to kill foreign beasts. The boy muttered to himself.

At this time, Daojun and the four spring guards quickly walked to the Pivotal Eye Iron Gate and stopped. In the distance, a spring guard ran behind, this man was sturdy, middle-aged, wearing a cloth shirt and trousers, and carrying a bow and arrows. Seeing this, the little boy slipped out of the crowd with a "whoosh" and ran straight to the alley behind.

"Lock this beast in the eye of the pivot, and sacrifice to the heavenly pivot tomorrow, and all the islanders shall not approach it. Shima-kun stood in front of the gate of the pivotal eye and gave orders.

"Stand down." The guards retreated.

In the back alley not far from the pivotal eye, a guard named Hongwu pushed open the red courtyard door with a happy face, and the small courtyard was very clean. Three bright north rooms, smoke slowly wafting from the rooftops. In the middle of the courtyard, a seven or eight-year-old child was cultivating seriously with a blushing face, and this person was the boy in the market just now.

"Madam, Hongyi, I'm back!"

Hong Yi ran quickly towards Hong Wu and jumped into the arms of the middle-aged man.

"Father!" "Mother, my father is back from catching beasts!"

"Hahaha, my good son is refining his body. Excellent!"

As he was talking, a woman with a plain and white face walked out of the back room, smiling and looking at the father and son who were playing in the courtyard.

"Hongyi, today's workout time hasn't arrived yet. ”

Hong Yi stuck out his tongue, jumped out of Hong Wu's arms, and replied respectfully: "It's not finished yet, so let's continue, mother, as soon as Hong obediently practices kung fu, my father will take me to the Great Wilderness, okay?"

"Hongyi, you are still young, it is too dangerous for the big wilderness beasts to run rampant, wait until you grow up and then go, first refine your body. ”

The woman smiled and touched Hongyi's head.

Hong Wu walked with the woman into the house. The woman skillfully helped Hong Wu take off her coat.

"Husband, can you gain anything from the lower realm with the island monarch this time?"

"The island monarch is famous for his efforts, and as soon as he makes a move, he captures a small heavy bird. ”

"Chongming Bird, the Divine Bird with Four Pupils, I heard that it is a big clan among the alien beasts, will it cause ...... if you capture it like this?"

Hong Wu stopped what his wife was about to say, "It's okay, that Chongming bird is still underage, and Daojun just took it and cut off its spiritual root, and the clan shouldn't be able to find it." ”

"That's good, that's good. The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Hong Wu took out a brightly colored red flower from the shield ring and handed it to his wife. Hong Wu, who looks serious and unsmiling on the surface, has such a delicate mind.

"Qian'er, this is a rejuvenating flower picked from the Great Wilderness, and I sent it to you. Hong Wu looked at his wife with a smile, his eyes full of doting.

Hong Yi, who was outside the door, burrowed his head in and tilted his head to look at his parents.

"Ahem...... That, father, I want it too. ”

Hongyi's mother looked at the naughty and curious Hongyi and couldn't help laughing.

"How could you forget Hongyi?"

With that, Hong Wu took out a purple fruit from the shield. The fruit is the size of a longan, and it radiates a purple glow all around it.

Hong Yi stared at the beads in a daze, how could he know such a divine object at the age of eight.

"Father, what is this?" Hongyi couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked first.

Hong Wu handed the bead to Hong Yi, who carefully held it in the palm of his hand and observed it carefully.

"This is the fruit of the golden willow that was born in the great wilderness, and it has the miraculous effect of helping people to practice on weekdays. Hong Wu's slightly rough big hand touched Hong Yi's cheek, and the calluses left by the perennial martial arts practice in the palm of his palm made Hong Yi sad for a while, and he hurriedly took a few steps back.

The parents were amused by Hongyi's teenage cuteness.

Hong Yi didn't know why, his immature face was full of piety, he looked at his father and said word by word: "Father, is there this?" I can go to the ashram on the island with my friends of the same age on the street?"

Hong Wu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. And Hong Yi's mother quietly tugged at the corner of Hong Wu's clothes behind Hong Wu, Hong Wu knew what his wife meant, and her eyes softened.

"Yes. ”

Hong Wu jumped up happily. When he learned that he was able to practice and that he could go to the ashram with his peers to practice, Hongyi thought that he finally didn't have to watch others practice outside the ashram every day.

"I'm going to tell my companion the good news!" before my father and mother could speak, Hong ran out early in the morning.

"Remember to come back soon!" the mother instructed. After seeing Hongyi leave the door, Hongyi's mother returned to the house. After waiting for Hong Wu to change into civilian clothes, the man looked at his wife with a solemn face.

"Over the years, you have worked hard for Hongyi. ”

"I just turned pale and tried his physique, it seems that the exercises given by Daojun did not help him consolidate his foundation, hey. ”

The wife shook her head with a sad face.

"These days, I have been urging Hongyi to cultivate according to what you told me, why hasn't there been any improvement. It's all because I had that serious illness in Huaihong for a while, otherwise Hongyi wouldn't be so weak. With that, his wife gently wiped her moist eyes with her sleeve. As a guard, Hong Wu is fearless and respected, but his wife and children are inevitably criticized. Hongyi has been unable to cultivate since he was a child, but his peers have long been able to cultivate. The gossip of the tiger father and the dog naturally spread.

Hong Wu immediately hugged his wife, caressed his wife's back and comforted her.

"That's it, if Hongyi can't practice, it's enough to grow up happily. ”

Hong, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, was unable to accept this for a while. Lonely and distracted, he ran out of the house.

Weak constitution ... Unable to practice ...

A teenager who has wanted to be a god like the ancient emperor since he was a child, and now he can't accept it for a while when he hears the conversation of his parents. Thinking that children of the same age had already begun to cultivate and were recognized by their parents, I couldn't help but feel very bitter in my heart. I work hard to practice on weekdays, just hoping to have the opportunity to become a family hero and shine on the lintel. Now that I hear the news for a while, it is very difficult for me to accept.

The decadent Hongyi walked aimlessly on the island street, but unconsciously came to the vicinity of the pivotal eye of Bianchun Island.

"Eh, the big bird captured by Daojun in the afternoon is locked up here, right? Hong Yi looked up, and the big copper lock hung on the iron door.

"This can't bother me!" "If you can't go to the Great Wilderness, it's good to see strange beasts." Driven by curiosity, Hongyi walked around to the back of the main entrance of the pivotal eye, only to see a large tree with lush branches nestled against the wall, its curved branches extending into the courtyard. Hong looked at the person around him, climbed the trunk of the tree quickly like a little leather monkey, and climbed the wall with another flip and stepped on the branch, and then he only heard a "sigh" so frightened that Hong accidentally slipped his foot, and fell into the courtyard with a bang.

"Oh, my ass... Yes... The scene in front of him just made Hong dumbfounded.

The giant red bird, which was kept in a cage by Shima-kun, was looking at him with its big eyes with four pupils. Hongyi was startled, regardless of the pain in his buttocks, he staggered back two steps, this big bird looked like it was 2 meters long, because its right leg was injured and lay quietly in the cage, its bright red tail wings and golden feathers were shining, such a beautiful sacred bird, it turned out to be what adults said to be a human-killing beast, and the ghost believed it. It was the first time he had been so close to a beast since he could remember, and as his gaze shifted, Hong Yi couldn't help but frown when he saw the deep bony wound on the bird's leg.

"Hey, you've been cut off from your spiritual root, and I'm too weak to cultivate, so we can be regarded as sympathetic. Hong looked at the heavy bird's eyes full of sadness, but he felt that he had no qualifications to sympathize with it.

After a difficult flutter, the bird raised its head and chirped sadly.

"Thank you. "Chongming Bird speaks with a sexy and beautiful voice.

Hong Yi was startled by the sudden appearance of the human voice, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

"You...... You can speak? It sounds so good. ”

"I am one of the ten major clans of the Great Wilderness, the princess of the Chongming clan, and I was accidentally caught by you today, maybe it was my fate. It's a pity that I haven't had time to say goodbye to my relatives in my clan, and I will be separated forever. A few tears fell from the bird's eyes.

"You, don't cry, my name is Hongyi, what about you?

"I, my name is Yan Zhen. ”

A man and a beast suddenly fell silent.

"Uh, how did you get caught. Hongyi was the first to break the silence.

"I was playing in the jungle, but I fell into a trap, and the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared was so powerful that I used the innate secret art of the Chongming clan to no avail. ”

"That person is our island king, and it is rumored on the island that he has cultivated to the realm of returning to the law. Hey, it's a pity that I can't cultivate. ”

"Why can't you cultivate?"

"Maybe my mother was sick when she was pregnant, and she had fetal gas, and since I was born, my body has been much weaker than my peers. Although I knew that I was not suitable for cultivation for a long time, I still hoped that there would be a change, and even the body refining exercises given by Daojun could not restore me, and I couldn't fool my parents and myself. ”

One man and one beast fell silent again.

"Live well, and there is hope if you live. Yan Zhen's eyes were full of tenderness.

"You're going to die yourself, and you're coming to comfort me. ”

Yan Zhen raised his head, his eyes full of arrogance. "Life and death are fate, our Chongming Bird Clan has never been greedy for life and afraid of death, not to mention that I am a princess. ”

"If I let you go, can you promise me not to come back and hurt the islanders?" Hongyi said.

Yan Zhen lowered his head and pondered. Hongyi looked around, and suddenly raised his hand to tear off the charm attached to the bronze cage.

"You?" "If you let me go, you will cause death" Yan Zhen's heart was full of shock.

"As you said, there is hope if you live. I heard from my father that you have been cut off from your spiritual root, hurry up and leave, you will not be able to run away after being discovered by the island owner for a while. ”

Chongming Bird looked at the boy in front of him with tears in his eyes, and he vigorously opened the bronze cage from the outside.

"Hongyi, today's life-saving grace will definitely be repaid in the future, you must take care of yourself. Yan Zhen solemnly promised to Hongyi.

"We're like-minded friends, so why are you talking about this? ”

Yan Zhen stared at Hong carefully, as if he wanted to engrave this person's appearance in his heart. Then she pulled off the reddish feather from her beak and wrapped it in a whirlpool. This is the escape secret technique that the patriarch of the Chongming Bird personally refined for Yan Zhe, and it is a secret treasure that can ignore the enchantment teleportation without being prohibited from acting by the charm.

"Hongyi, take care. We'll see you again. The bird was gone, and only the ethereal sound echoed in the air.

"Goodbye, remember what you promised me. Hong Yi waved his hand at the empty cage in front of him.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the departure of the Chongming Bird touched the warning seal of Bian Chun Island, and for a while, the bell of the warning on Bian Chun Island suddenly rang loudly.

"Bell!~Bell!~Bell!~Bell!~" The nine bells rang quickly throughout the island, and the pedestrians on the side of the road suddenly looked nervous.

"Nine bells, this is the highest warning sound, is there an invasion of a strange beast?" whispered pedestrians and companions.

"Whoosh!~Whoosh!~Whoosh!~Whoosh!~~" Countless sounds of breaking the air were heard, and the guards scattered around the island quickly flew to the pivotal eye and stopped Hongyi who was about to leave.

"The Bird has run away, boy, you're in trouble. A guard who had a good personal relationship with Hong Wu looked at Hong Yi with a very ugly face.

"What a boldness, who let go of the strange beast. "The voice of the island gentleman has not yet arrived. The coercion of the island monarch in the sky above the island monarch made the people of the whole island breathless.

"Privately release the heavy bird, die!" A beam of lightsaber flew from the Island Monarch's Mansion to the eyes of the pivot in an instant, so fast that people couldn't see it clearly and stabbed at Hongyi.

Hong Wu suddenly appeared in front of Hong Yi and caught the lightsaber with his empty hand, but he was shocked by the lightsaber and took a dozen steps back, and blood dripped down Hong Wu's hand.

"Father. Hongyi looked at the back in front of him.

"Bold!Hongwu, are you going to betray this side of Spring Island?" The angry voice came from the Island Monarch's Mansion, and the sound actually shook Hongwu's mouth and spat blood.

Hong Wu respectfully knelt on one knee and shouted in the direction of the Island Monarch's Mansion: "The Island Monarch is angry, and his subordinates don't dare." It is a big sin for the rebel son to release the heavy bird privately, but he also asked Dao Junnian to spare his life for the sake of the rebel son's young and ignorant state. ”

"This is about the safety of Bian Chun Island, not to mention an ignorant child, even if Benjun is released, it will be difficult to escape the blame for all deaths. Thinking of your merits for defending Bian Chun for many years, this gentleman will not care about your disobedience, and quickly retreat!"

"If Daojun insists on killing Hongyi, Hongwu is willing to suffer this punishment for the rebel. Hong Wu bowed firmly.

"Father, don't. "Lord, big bird, don't punish my father. Hongyi excitedly shouted at Daojun.

The chief of the guard standing on the side whispered to Hong Wu and said: "The Chongming Bird Clan is a clan with very good spiritual power in the Great Wilderness, and there are no less than ten masters of the Dharma Realm in the clan, and the strength of the Chongming Bird Patriarch is even more unfathomable. Daojun Ben cut off the spirit root of the Chongming Bird, so that the other party had no way to find it, and now this kid has secretly released the strange beast, and with the strength of Bian Chun Island, he can't compete at all. This is a scourge for the whole island. β€œ

"The brother's heart Hongwu accepted it, but he couldn't even keep his son, so what kind of shame did Hongwu, a seven-foot man, have. Hongwu rejected his kindness.

The chief of the guard shook his head helplessly.

Hong Yi wiped his tears and knelt down resolutely beside Hong Wu. "Daojun, Hong does things by himself. Please don't blame my father, this crime is punished, Hong Yi suffered. ”
