Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Omen of the Winged Bird
Shi Di and the others came from Moju to the west, so they were now located in the eastern area of the Seventy-two Doubtful Tombs, and since they didn't know the specific location of the Innate Five Elements Banner, they could only take a carpet search plan and start from this area first.
The eastern area of the 72 tombs is full of ruins, and it is said that they are tombs, but there is no trace of the tombs, and I don't know if it is because the age is too old, and these tombs have been damaged.
Except for the alien beasts such as Lu Wu who they had just seen, they did not encounter other alien beasts on land along the way, but there were some strange-looking birds flying in the sky, which made them stop and observe for a while.
The peculiarity of the bird lies mainly in the color of its body, which is bounded by a longitudinal middle line, one left and one right, divided into two completely different colors, red and cyan, which looks like a patchwork from a distance.
In fact, their feeling is not wrong, this flying bird is indeed made of splicing.
"It is a winged bird, they are born with only one eye and one wing, they must fly side by side, and they are a symbol of loyal love in the world. Shuwan introduced to everyone.
Unexpectedly, the flying bird was not actually a bird, but a pair of birds that appeared in pairs, and it turned out to be the winged bird mentioned in the poem "I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and I wish to be a winged branch in the earth".
"The winged bird is a rare beast to see, usually only exists in people's legends, the book is also the first time to see today, the ancient book has contained, "Chongwu Mountain has a bird, its shape is like a sword, and a wing and a eye, each other is flying, the name is barbaric, see the world water", it stands to reason that there should be a large area of water around the winged bird, maybe it is just the piece of clear pool where we met the hook snake. ”
Shuwan looked up at the winged bird soaring in the sky, and there was a look of appreciation in his eyes, after all, it was a strange beast with such a beautiful symbol, and it was an opportunity to be able to see it.
"There are many poignant stories about the winged bird, and since there is no danger for the time being, it is better to tell you one or two about it in the evening. ”
"Okay, okay, I like to listen to stories the most!" Hearing Shuwan say this, Ke Meng immediately agreed.
"Hey, who said that you have grown up, I see that you are clearly a little ghost, as soon as you hear a story or something, look at how excited you are!" Shi Di touched Ke Meng's head again, deliberately teasing him.
"How many times do you want me to say it! A man's head can't be touched casually! I ...... I'm just worried that everyone is bored, not because of myself!" Ke Meng denied it weakly, but his footsteps had involuntarily moved to Shuwan's side.
As soon as Xiao Bai Ze heard that Shuwan was going to tell a story, he immediately abandoned Tamer and flew to Shuwan's side.
"The story I'm going to tell is called not dying if you don't reach the Yellow River, and the common saying we often use comes from this story. ”
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a little boy named Liu Sheng who lived near the Yellow River, his family was very poor, and he had to do a lot of manual work at a young age to support the family. ”
Every day, in addition to heavy work, his greatest hobby was to go to the woods behind his house to listen to the calls of all kinds of birds, because he listened too much, and later he also learned to imitate the calls of birds, and the calls of birds he imitated were so vivid that even the real birds could not be distinguished. ”
In this way, Yanagi grew into a teenager in the company of birds. But when he was sixteen years old, his family unfortunately changed, and his mother, who was dependent on him, suddenly became seriously ill, and in order to earn money for his mother's treatment, Liu Sheng had to sell himself as a slave and became a gardener in Huang Yuan's foreign family. ”
After Liu Sheng arrived at Huang Yuanwai's house, because he liked birds, he often went to tease the canaries raised by Miss Huang's family, and after coming and going, he fell in love with Miss Huang for a long time, but this incident made Huang Yuanwai furious, and he instructed his family to beat Liu Sheng to only one breath, and ordered someone to carry him to the Yellow River to feed him to fish. ”
When Miss Huang heard that her lover had died, she was so angry that she spurted blood from her mouth and died, and at the moment she fell, a one-winged bird with only a right wing jumped out of her heart. ”
The bird couldn't chirp or fly, but it ran vigorously to the edge of the Yellow River, and soon ran to where Yanagi was. ”
Strange to say, Liu Sheng had been holding on to this breath and refused to breathe, but after seeing the bird, he closed his eyes and stopped breathing, and the family members threw his body into the Yellow River. ”
Just as Yanagi's body was about to fall into the boiling river, a one-winged bird jumped out of his heart, but this bird only had a left wing. ”
The bird jumped out and jumped up the riverbank, joined the bird that had only its right wing, and flew side by side into the sky, slowly disappearing from view. ”
This is the story of not dying until the heart of the Yellow River, Liu Sheng waited until the bird that Miss Huang turned into came to him, and then he was willing to break this breath, and the pair of birds that Liu Sheng and Miss Huang turned into was called a winged bird. ”
After listening to this story, everyone raised their heads and looked at the winged birds flying in the sky, and their hearts were touched.
It is indeed a simple but moving story, Shi Di listened to the book and told it eloquently, and couldn't help but be a little moved.
But while he was immersed in the story, his keen hearing reminded him of something else, as if something was whizzing towards them from far away.
He motioned for everyone to stop talking, and pressed his ears to the ground, trying to confirm that he had just felt correctly.
Thundered...... Thundered......
That's right, there's something close to them, and it still seems to be in the thick of them, what could it be?
"Watch out, everyone, I hear something approaching us at a fast speed!"
As soon as Shi Di's words fell, they saw what was approaching them, a large flood with huge waves!
Now they know what is going on with the sentence "Seeing the world is full of water" mentioned in the book, although the daring bird is a symbol of beautiful love, but it is just the meaning that people give them, and their real omen is still a big flood!
Where can everyone still care about the story and watch the birds, they all began to run forward, and for a moment they saw a huge wave roaring behind, and in front of them were a few small black dots trying to escape from the huge wave.
Even though everyone exerted all their strength, how could they move as fast as the surging of the flood, and compared to the speed of the huge waves, the speed at which their little black dots moved forward was simply negligible.
I saw that the huge tongue of waves quickly stretched out in front of everyone, swallowing them into the boundless waters.
Shi Di's speed was naturally much faster than others, but even he didn't hold out for too long, it was only a dozen seconds of effort, and he was also swept into the flood.
This flood from nowhere is flowing extremely fast, and they feel that they can't move at all, and they can only follow the flow of water to unknown places.
However, thanks to the fact that they had taken the begonia fruit before, they would finally appreciate the benefits of this immortal fruit, even if they were now immersed in the water, they didn't have to worry about the problem of oxygen at all, and it seemed that they had really gained the ability to breathe in the water.
Everyone looked embarrassed, but there was a person and a turtle who still looked like they were beautiful and swimming, but wasn't it Gu Ci and his magical turtle.
I don't know how this turtle did it, but in short, it can keep moving at a constant speed in such a fast wave, although its body is also surging forward with the tide, but its movements are indeed comfortable.
Gu Ci rode on the back of the turtle with a proud face, fixed his body with one hand, and slowly stretched out one hand to gesture to the uncomfortable people who were floating and sinking in the current.
I saw him point to himself, wave his hand, and then point to the turtle under him, and stretched out his thumb, isn't he just showing off to everyone that he has nothing to do now because of the turtle.
In this case, Gu Ci can actually get up, everyone has a few black lines in their hearts, if they are not incapacitated now, maybe they will rush to the back of the turtle and beat Gu Ci together.
Just when everyone was envious and jealous of Gu Ci's tortoise, the situation in front of them had become even more critical, and the turbulent water had brought them into the realm of some underwater structure, and some huge stone pillars began to appear in front of them!
Now everyone's hearts were in their throats, they couldn't control their direction and position at all, they could only rush forward with the current, if there was a stone pillar in front of them, it would be ironclad to hit it.
If you hit such a stone pillar at this speed, I'm afraid you'll be half-crippled if you don't die.
They weren't allowed to think about it, the stone pillar area was already close in front of them, and if they weren't able to speak now, I'm afraid the screams would have burst their eardrums.
It's just a moment's effort, they have already interspersed between five or six stone pillars, although the luck is really good enough, no one directly hit the stone pillars, watching those stone pillars pass by, everyone really pinched a cold sweat in their hearts.
There's a good chance it won't be so good next time.
Now among all of them, only Gu Ci and his turtle can move freely, and the turtle is still very agile, shuttling between the stone pillars with ease, it seems that they are not in danger of hitting the stone pillars.
When Gu Ci saw that the situation was so critical, he hurriedly commanded his turtle to save people, ordered the turtle to swim in front of everyone, dragged them and pulled them onto the turtle, and soon, he saw that the turtle was bloated with people, and he was also pulling people on the left and right.
Fortunately, this is in the water, and the presence of buoyancy makes the turtle not too hard, otherwise it would have been crushed and unable to move.
Finally, just as he was about to hit a stone pillar, Shi Di, who was at the front of the team, was also caught by a turtle, avoiding the result of being crushed.
Everyone had a look on their faces for the rest of their lives, but they didn't notice that the speed of the surrounding water had gradually slowed down.
