Chapter 51: The Strange Bird of Fengcheng
Flowers bloom and wealth are in the sky, and hundreds of birds compete for blood phoenixes.
The sun is setting in the west, the moon is rising, the breeze is skimming over the trees, the flowers are dormant, and a flock of birds is still flying in the darkness from city to city.
Legend has it that there were four major spirit animals in ancient times, namely the green dragon, the white tiger, the xuanwu, and the phoenix.
Birds led by the phoenix, born on the top of the Tianshan Mountains, sometimes elusive, in ancient times is a unique existence, each dominating one side, no one can beat.
However, the world changes, the good times do not last long, although they are the overlords, but they can not stop the change of the Three Realms, the Three Realms gradually appeared many immortals, they talk about the world by cultivation, sometimes fight with red faces, big fights, so that even the four beasts are not their opponents, and finally forced to retreat in the immortal mountain and do not come out.
This city is called Fengcheng, there is a phoenix mountain in the city, it is the place where the phoenix disappeared in those years, many people built a phoenix temple here in order to commemorate the phoenix, they will come to worship every full moon night, it is the hottest folk custom here.
Fengcheng is the territory of the Tang family, the border between the Tang family and the Gao family, Tang Can attaches great importance to here, and sends heavy troops to garrison this city to guard the peace of one side, although there is friction between people on both sides, but they all restrain themselves from letting the war happen, and they are very cautious.
Brush!
There were more and more birds, and their voices were hoarse, and many people were awakened in their sleep, thinking that something was happening outside, so they took lanterns and thought about it in the dark.
"Oh my God, so many birds?"
"It's horrible!"
"Why are these birds like this?"
"It's night, it's weird!"
Everyone was a little surprised, although the birds were social animals, they knew that they foraged during the day and slept at night, but instead of sleeping, these birds were very energetic, and they kept screaming at night, which made people a little frightened, after all, there had been no such vision before.
Brush!
This group of birds changed the lineup, formed a straight line from the initial wandering, lined up neatly, and flew towards Phoenix Mountain under the gaze of everyone, attracting everyone to want to take a look, and some even doubted.
"This flock of birds has flown to Phoenix Mountain."
"When a flock of birds gathers, could it be that the phoenix is alive?"
"Don't say it, such visions are rare, maybe the phoenix has come back to life."
"Don't talk nonsense, the phoenix is the king of birds, if he lives, how can this phoenix city stop, let's take a look, maybe something else will happen!"
"Let's go check it out, everybody."
There were rumors in the city instantly, many people had their own opinions on this matter, some people felt bored and returned home, and some people wanted to go to the Phoenix Temple out of curiosity.
The human heart is like this, always rejecting its own ideas and opinions, always being led by curiosity and greed.
They moved, hundreds of people came to Phoenix Mountain with lanterns, rugged mountain roads, steep cliffs, countless banyan trees, hundreds of caves, and sometimes they could hear a few strange cries, which were very terrifying.
At the top of Phoenix Mountain is a phoenix temple with an imposing rainbow, a ray of moonlight shines on the temple, and the surrounding area is blocked by clouds and mist, giving people a feeling of stepping on the sky, and not wanting to leave here.
Inside the Phoenix Temple is a golden phoenix statue, lifelike, head to the east, tail to the west, wings to fly, violent, set off the surrounding atmosphere, only worthy of the beast hidden immortal mountain said.
One hundred and ten people will hold the torch, although not as good as the day, but also see the surroundings very clearly, originally every full moon they will come to the Phoenix Temple to worship, hoping to bless them with good weather and peace, but I didn't expect to come here tonight, see the phoenix statue can't help kneeling down, in their hearts the phoenix is a great god, bless them with the great god of peace.
Brush!
"Look, the birds are coming!"
As they knelt down, the flock of birds also flew in, and all eyes looked at them, and they landed densely on the trees around them, causing all of them to stand up, for the flock of birds also looked at them.
"Wait, I'll see what kind of bird it is."
A man was very bold, so he walked to a tree with a torch, and the birds on the tree were not scared away by the fire and people, but stared directly at the man.
When the torch shone on the tree, the man was surprised, the birds were small, with a black beak with sharp fangs, red eyes that sometimes emitted black gas, black feathers full of small thorns, and sharp claws.
The man knew very little about birds, so he thought that this was also a crow, and he thought it was nothing unusual, so he wanted to go back to the crowd and explain it.
Thump!
When the man turned to leave, a crow flew to his shoulder in an instant, which made him a little frightened, and he instantly scolded: "Stinky crow, get down!" ”
Brush!
The crow didn't give him face, so he flew up on his shoulder and pecked at his head, then flapped his beak twice with his wings, and then flew back to the banyan tree.
The man was angry, but he couldn't take revenge, it was night, it was the top of the mountain again, and there was a lot of fog around, and if one accidentally fell off the cliff, it would be miserable, so he didn't chase it, but walked towards the crowd.
"Brother, do you see what kind of bird it is?"
"It's just a flock of crows!"
"These stinky crows, we've come here for nothing."
"Let's go, let's disperse!"
Everyone was a little displeased, thinking that the bird had a vision because the phoenix was going to live, it turned out to be just a group of crows, and they came from Fengcheng to watch, but in the end it was empty, which really delayed the time to sleep!
Brush!
"How did you get to this?"
Yes!
These people were going to go back, but they didn't expect that the man who was pecked by the crow just now was suddenly very painful, scratching his neck with his hands, and then the whole person changed, his actions were crazy, his eyes were instantly ruddy, his mouth was fanged, his hands were sharp claws, and his clothes were supported by his body, becoming a huge monster.
He kicked the person to the ground, and then fell two more people, his eyes became redder and redder, and his actions were also terrifying, the left rushed to kill a group of people, and the right rushed to bite a group of people, and the hundred and tenth people were in chaos in an instant.
"Run, kill!"
"Youkai! Monster! ”
"Help me!"
In addition to the men, the crows also moved, flying from the trees to the crowd, catching and pecking at sight, so that the hearts of the people were panicked, mutated constantly, and miserable noises kept coming out, and many people became fanged monsters.
Hundreds of people did not escape this catastrophe, countless dead and wounded, became a group of monsters who did all kinds of evil, under the urging of the crows, this group of monsters went down the Phoenix Mountain, and walked slowly towards Fengcheng.
"Everyone, run, there's a monster coming!"
When someone saw it in advance, they beat the gong and shuttled through the streets and alleys, waking people up from their sleep and running out.
"How so?"
"Don't be stunned, guys, run!"
I was a little surprised when I saw the monster coming, didn't I just go to Phoenix Mountain, how did I turn people into monsters? Seeing that their faces were covered with blood and their mouths were fangs, they were all stunned.
The person who struck the gong pulled everyone back to reality, and if they wanted to survive, they had to run away, and they were instantly confused and fled in all directions.
Brush!
People kept falling, in addition to monsters, there were also crows who attacked, killing people was their task, and Fengcheng changed dramatically overnight, blood flowed like a river, and many people became monsters.
