The old and decadent bird had chains on its talons, and all its feathers had already fallen off. A flock of ferocious crows surrounded it, its pointed beaks pecking at its flesh.

Master Taishi was stunned for a moment, didn't think about it, and immediately shouted to drive away the nasty crow, and then looked at the bird covered with wounds.

I vaguely remember that this flying bird was passed down from my grandfather's generation, and it is said to be the auspicious golden black bird that flew from the East China Sea when the golden crow god came to the last time.

Master Taishi suddenly felt that his chest was very blocked, and he couldn't find a trace of breathing space.

The bird, which has aged to the extreme, is listless, not to mention that it is late at night, its bare neck and head buried in its wings, and its wrinkled flesh is shaking every time it breathes.

Master Taishi circled around the bird shelf, and for a while he couldn't remember why he had locked this ancestral golden crow bird here for several years.

Ah, remembered.

When she married Fei'er, she was curious to see the golden black bird, but was unceremoniously pecked by the bird. Master Taishi was eager to protect his wife, and he was neither able to get the oracle of the Golden Crow God, nor was he able to invite the Golden Crow God, so he had long been suspicious of the legend of the distant East China Sea, so he simply gave an order to move the birds that had been worshiped for decades to the deserted backyard, and never asked again.

It turns out that decades have passed, and the bird has not died.

Master Taishi unconsciously touched his silver hair: We are as old as ever.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wanted to touch it, but the aging bird in his sleep was actually very awake, poked his head out of his wings, and pecked at the back of Master Taishi's hand fiercely, just like pecking at the newly married Mrs. Taishi back then.

Master Taishi was shocked and stopped.

The Golden Crow Bird looked at the Fenglin City Lord with full hostility, and spread his bald wings, very disdainful.

At this time, Master Taishi was very embarrassed.

I remember that when the last Fenglin City Lord was alive, he once instructed his two sons to follow the Golden Crow God to Fenglin City, and stayed in the city after the Golden Crow God left.

Daddy, you must not have imagined that this dilapidated yard without shelter from the wind and rain, a dirty jug, and an iron chain that locks its freedom and sharpens its legs and claws are the final destination of the golden black bird.

Master Taishi thought secretly.

He looked at the cold-eyed aging bird, suddenly moved his throat, and asked, "Is there really a golden crow god in this world?" ”

Although he didn't get any answer from the arrogant bird, Master Taishi still said to himself:

“...... I am obviously a descendant of the Taishi clan and the lord of the city of Fenglin, so why has the god of the Golden Crow never recognized me or sent a oracle to me? According to the contract between the Taishi clan and the god of the Golden Crow, only the eldest son of the descendants of the descendants of the Taishi clan who has been approved by the god of the Golden Crow can inherit the position of the lord of the city. ”

The golden crow bird still looked at him coldly.

"If you really are the bird who came here with the Golden Crow God sixty years ago, then you can tell me," Master Taishi took a deep breath, "Does the Golden Crow God exist or not? Why can't I, a descendant of the Taishi clan and the Lord of Fenglin City, find the Golden Crow God?"

The senile birds still looked at him with cold eyes.

Master Taishi laughed miserably, and suddenly felt that one of the dignified lords of the Jiuding Kingdom couldn't even deal with a bird.

"You must resent me for not marrying my sister according to the contract, right?" Master Taishi retorted forcefully, "In order to ensure the purity of the Taishi clan's bloodline, you can only find a woman of the right age in the clan, which is one of the contents of the contract. Then I'm going to ask, does the belief in the Golden Crow God have to be proved by intermarriage? The Lord of the Wind Coming City has been in the city for generations, has there never been anyone who has gone against his will and married someone he doesn't love at all? Is it the consistent practice of the Golden Crow God to forcibly point into a mandarin duck spectrum? I refused to Cai Rou and married Fei Er because I have a good understanding of Fei Er, and also because it is not me who is really interested in Cai Rou, but my second brother. In your eyes, this is not a sincere affection that does not tolerate the slightest hypocrisy, but it has become a blasphemous evidence. ”

These words have been held in the bottom of Master Taishi's heart for many years. He is the lord of Fenglin City, the heir of the Taishi clan, and logically speaking, he should be recognized by the Golden Crow God, but unfortunately it has become a knot and regret that cannot be untied for a lifetime.

Master Taishi couldn't help but vent the resentment in his heart:

"As the god of the golden crow, he takes pleasure in torturing his true lover, and asks us to bow down to you, and you have sent the goldfish clan to disturb the whole city and force me to divorce my wife, is it really so? My Yang'er, he went out to sea with a pious heart to find the god of the golden crow, and what was the result? Until now, I don't know where my son's corpse, which was gnawed by fish and shrimp to the point of being boneless, sank! For what? Is it because I don't want to marry Cai Rou against my will? The Golden Crow God never gave me an oracle, no matter how I let Xuan Chen divination, from childhood until now, I have never been able to get the dream of an oracle. Where is the god of the golden crow? Where is the oracle dream full of golden light written in my grandfather's suicide note?"

He said dejectedly: "Haha, so, in fact, the Golden Crow God has never agreed with me? Just because I don't marry Cai Rou, I don't marry the matriarch of the goldfish clan? I have been devoted to Fei'er from beginning to end, what have I done wrong? Among birds and beasts, monogamy is really rare, and it has always been regarded as a good story." What did I do wrong? I actually caused such severe punishment as the goldfish aliens and the 'hundred dragons entering the city'? That rocky mountain is still forcing me to divorce my wife to this day! It's ridiculous and ridiculous!!"

The golden black bird's bright eyes were a little dim.

As he spoke, Master Taishi wept and wept: "Ji'er also went to sea, who knows if he will follow in the footsteps of Yang'er? Even my child is bedridden, the golden crow god is so ruthless, is this to cut off the Taishi family's children and grandchildren? Alas, it was really in vain that I once believed so much, I thought that one day, the oracle of the East China Sea full of glow would appear in my dream." But now I've long since given up on that idea. From the first day I met Fei'er, I knew that she was the woman who had to live and die together in this life, no matter what kind of blood she was, I didn't care that she had a child outside, and she didn't marry in this life. If the god of the golden crow wants to punish me for this reason, then I will be glad to die. So, whether the Golden Crow God exists or not, whether he comes to the city or not, has little to do with me - alas. ”

Master Taishi finished what he had to say, and without waiting for the chained bird to respond, he turned around and left: "Over the years, the second brother has come to visit you and fed you some food. He did what his grandfather had asked him to do. You are a relic handed down from my Taishi clan, so I naturally want to support you for the rest of your life. Tomorrow, I'll ask someone to put you in a more comfortable place. ”
