Chapter 2: The Reappearance of the Golden Crow (2)
Lying on the deck, Qi Bei was dizzy and slept under the scorching sun.
He had a strange dream.
In his dream, he walked on a shallow beach, the coastline was very long, and he was aimless.
Just walking, walking.
He felt something pop under his feet.
Looking down, there seemed to be something floating in the white spray crashing on the beach.
Reaching out and touching it, he picked it up. He looked at it in amazement, and shivered inexplicably.
Is this little monster with a bird's head and a fish's tail really a species that lives in nature?
Qi Bei looked at this non-fish and non-bird, up and down, back and forth, and looked at it for a long time to make sure that his eyes did not see the flowers.
The head and neck of the bird are exactly the same as those flying in the sky, but starting from the chest and abdomen, the feathers have obviously become sparse and pulled, and the bones have twisted and changed shape.
In fact, this little monster that is half fish and half bird, Qi Bei is not the first time he has seen it, nor is it the first time he has heard of it. Faintly, he realized what it meant to see a fish and a bird in his dream at this time.
"What the hell are you?" Qi Bei asked a question about the corpse of the little monster.
The tide was rising rapidly before he knew it, and before the shallow water had reached his instep, it had reached his knees.
Qi Bei carried the wings of the little monster and asked it loudly what it was, but it died thoroughly.
Paying too much attention to the combination of birds and fish in his hand, Qi Bei shook his head, and there seemed to be a shadow passing quickly behind him.
He hurriedly threw away the little monster and turned back to look for it, his first reaction was: "Is it a lark?" I miss you so much. ”
There was no one behind him.
Qi Bei wondered: Is it a delusion?
With his back to the sea, he heard a mysterious voice from the waves that had risen high behind him.
"If—"
He turned back in shock, and there was still no one in the waves.
There was no one around.
The voice continued to come from the sea: "This is the Golden Crow God, do you believe it?" ”
Qi Bei looked in surprise at the sea water that didn't reach his thighs, and in the white foam of the waves, the monster corpses that were not fish and birds were still floating.
"What? Is this really the Golden Crow God? ”
The waves drowned out the sound. After waiting for a long time, the words from the mysterious source could be heard hesitantly: "Do you believe it?" ”
Qi Bei was stunned.
In the legend of the wind in the city, the golden crow god is shining brightly every time he appears.
Looking up at the sky, the clouds were thick.
In the notes of the Taishi clan, the golden crow god dragged his long tail feathers and flew from the East China Sea in an extremely grand manner.
Looking down at the corpse of the little monster, the feathers were soaked in seawater and messy, and the tail of the fish was still scarred, and the scales were peeling.
According to the oral tradition of the Taishi people, in the early years of each Jiazi reincarnation, the golden crow god will give a dream to the current lord of Fenglin City, telling him to go to sea to bring the gods back to Fenglin City, protect the people, and ask for peace.
It doesn't match the legend.
The voice in the waves waited for Qi Bei's answer. It was evident that the sea was gradually darkening with the anger that had accumulated in the voice.
Qi Bei shrugged, since he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't think about it: "You said yes." ”
"Really-" mixed with a hesitant and even somewhat dull and angry voice, it suddenly became clear, and he was extremely satisfied with Qi Bei's obedient answer, "Yunju, you are so good, you believe that I am the Golden Crow God!" ”
Qi Bei scratched his head, it was hard to say anything. Whether it was the Golden Crow God or not, he hadn't seen it, of course he didn't know. But just like that, he didn't think too much about it, and directly agreed.
Feeling someone passing behind him again, this series of ghosts disturbed Qibei uneasy.
"Who the hell is it-"
He turned his head.
"Ah, Master Taishi!"
The old man Taishi of the Wind Coming City went straight through his body - it turned out that this was not what really happened. Qi Bei couldn't tell whether he was an illusion in this dream, or whether Master Taishi was a phantom, or from the sea and sky to the beach to non-fish and non-birds to all the figures, it was all a dream.
Feng Lin Taishi walked into the sea water at the same depth. The corpse of the little monster that looked like a fish and a bird touched his robe floating in the water.
The same voice sounded from the sea, announcing to Master Taishi: "This is the Golden Crow God." As the Lord of Fenglin City, why did you delay not going to sea to bring her back? ”
Qi Bei observed at the nearest distance, Master Taishi looked incredulous, picked up the little monster between his fingers, and threw it back into the sea after just one glance, and scolded coldly: "Who are you a demon, specially to confuse people's hearts." I've seen nightmares like yours many times. How could this be the Golden Crow God! ”
Brush Lala –
Brush Lala –
The tide of the sea recedes silently.
The figure of Master Taishi was shattered in the seawater.
Skin exposed to water is very susceptible to drying up and is especially sensitive to the scorching sun.
"Ah...... Sunburned to death......" Qi Bei moved his chapped lips and woke up.
He couldn't understand what that dream meant.
--------
"My mother......" Under the scorching sun, he didn't even bother to cover his face - anyway, the sunburn and tanning were Ye Shiyu's face, and it had nothing to do with him Qibei, "How long will it take to get to Dongsang Island?" Speaking of which, where is Dongsan Island? Look at the sea, there is not even a little reef on the sea! We're not in the wrong place, are we? Is this sure it's east? It is not easy to rely on the sun to discern the direction at noon. The compass needle sent by the little sea king has long been out of order - hey! When will I be able to return to her? I think she's going to die! ”
The glimmer of his palm jumped to his shoulder, and even if Xiao Xiao was dead, he was still so lively and active.
"What did you say?"
Probably because he has been alone for a long time, Qibei can now chat with anything that can't speak or move, such as oars, planks, sails, etc., not to mention that the little soul that stays behind belongs to a small broken soul.
"Are you sure this is the east?" Qi Bei shook his head, "Okay, okay." I don't know you anyway, so I'll listen to you first. If you make a mistake, let's wait until the stars appear in the evening to guide us, and it's a big deal to turn back. ”
And so, it was a long day and a long night.
"Little Broken Brother," he lay on the deck under the stars, and the night wind just happened to blow the ship to the east, which was even more unreachable, "what is the Golden Crow God like?" I always felt that the legendary golden crow god had to at least ...... It's a man, right? She's a woman? And I'm just whispering to you, she climbed into my bed before! Oh my God, it scared the hell out of me...... Don't snicker, I'm telling the truth! Absolutely, yes, the foot is a little lame, it must be her. ”
There was no daylight in the night, and the faint brightness of the small fragments was more obvious.
"Do you know that I've been dreaming the same thing over and over again lately." Qi Bei said frankly, "I dreamed of that little monster that was neither a fish nor a bird, yes, it was the one that Gongzi said he saw when he was on the beach." I've seen it before. Little Shatter, do you know, there is a voice that tells me that it is the Golden Crow God. ”
