Chapter 369: White Feather Shows the Way
The crane song is a very unique and recognizable sound, and the white crane led by it chirped for a while, and soon the other white cranes also chirped.
In this twilight, a flock of white cranes chirp at the edge of the wetland swamp, which is a kind of natural sound, which seems to dispel all the haze around them, including the clouds in people's hearts.
The charlatan, who was holding the compass, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his face relaxed.
"It's okay, these cranes were sent by the heavens to help us..... Phew, we're alright..... "
The warlock said and looked to the side, obviously without his reminder, and the companions next to him had also relaxed.
Ordinary people are only disturbed by desire and disturbing qi, but it is not really none, and many times they can also feel some things, such as the evil and fear just now, such as the pure inspiration at this moment.
Even the newly frightened horses had settled down and remained in place.
The woman and the child who fell off the horse were not very serious except for being embarrassed by the muddy water below. At this time, others also hurriedly helped the mother and son.
"Sister-in-law, get up!"
The child had already gotten up on his own, staring wide-eyed at the magical and graceful crane. "Mother, this is the crane, it's the first time I've seen it!"
With a smile on her face, the woman reached out to wipe the muddy water off the child's face and remove the weeds from his clothes. "It's the first time I've seen my mother!"
Not to mention the mother and son, many people see white cranes mostly on some picture scrolls or embroidery of cloth.
The white cranes chirped and pecked and frolicked in the water, relaxing the fatigue of the long journey, and the feeling of comfort seemed to infect the people nearby, and also eased their tense nerves.
But as soon as the nerves eased, the fatigue doubled.
"Woo-giggle..... ......"
In the center of the crane flock, the white crane that had never bowed its head chirped a few times, combed its feathers with its beak, and then seemed to look at the crowd not far away, and then walked out step by step from the center of the crane flock to the crowd.
The pace of the white crane has an indescribable harmony and nature, not even like a big bird coming, but like a calm and peaceful person, walking slowly step by step.
The charlatan, who was holding the compass, also approached the front and whispered to his companions.
"Don't be nervous, don't disturb the cranes, this group of white cranes is not ordinary, the white crane in front of you is more red than the top of the high-grade cinnabar, it is the image of Danding, my master said when he was alive, the red-topped and white-feathered cranes are auspicious birds, and the cranes fall where the evil retreats.....
Whether it is Dayong or Nanyan, or other places in the world, most of the white cranes are known as auspicious, and there are even some royal gardens that will go to great lengths to raise some white cranes.
The crane has always been a strong stroke in folklore, it is a celestial bird, it is auspicious, and it is often associated with immortals and gods.
And what happened today, although it is not intuitively exaggerated, it seems that it is just a group of cranes falling suddenly, and there are no monsters in the water, but it just makes people feel magical.
The white crane walked a few steps away from the child and the woman, and seemed to take a few glances at the two and the people around him.
"Giggle.....
The white crane suddenly chirped a few more times, and a crane's beak suddenly pecked at the child. "Be careful!"
A martial artist beside the mother and son reflexively wanted to protect the child, and immediately raised the blade in his hand to block it. "Don't Move Your Blade.....
The charlatan was extremely nervous, shouting to stop but was a step slower, but the white crane's beak was faster, and when the blade swung over, it had already touched the child, and flicked its neck, as if it had pulled something, and in this action naturally avoided the returning knife.
"Hiss ....."
It was as if the sound of some paper being shredded appeared out of thin air, and a gray gas was pecked out by the crane's beak, and it collapsed in the pull.....
At the same time, in a courtyard in the distance, on a windless indoor altar, a paper note was placed in an empty bowl
Suddenly it began to tear.
A man and an old man sitting in front of the altar were shocked.
The old man jumped up from his sitting position, reached out and touched a little on the red liquid in the small bowl on one side, and then pointed his finger on the rune paper.
But this press continues, as if there is a thousand great forces surging on the paper. "Whew-"
A crane chirped out of thin air in the room, vaguely as if a sharp bird beak was on the paper. "Hmmm....." Master!"
A white light burst out from the old man's fingertips, and the moment his body was bounced away, the man next to him instantly moved, jumped over to catch the old man, but obviously the two of them couldn't withstand this force together, and flew upside down to the wall behind them together.
"Bang~~~"
"Uh-huh........ "Poof....."
The young man screamed, while the old man spat out a mouthful of blood. "Ahem, ahem..."
The movement inside obviously also alarmed the people outside, and immediately someone ran to the door, but did not dare to open the door directly.
"Mage, what's going on?" "Mage, what's wrong with you?"
The people inside ignored the anxious shouts outside, the old man struggled to stand up, covered the fingers of his right hand and walked to the altar, and the rune paper in the bowl burned "boom~" and turned into ashes in an instant.
"Master..."
The young man had already gotten up, rubbed his chest and walked to the altar, looking at the scene in front of him with a look of surprise on his face.
"Someone broke your spell?"
The old man let go of his left hand and looked down at the ten fingers of his right hand, which were bleeding and his nails had cracked.
Of course, he heard his apprentice's words, but he was silent and did not answer.
The spell was indeed broken, but, is it human?
In the swampy wetland outside the mountain, the Jianghu guest who used the knife had just blocked in front of the mother and son, and the crane beak just now was so sudden that even he didn't have time to react immediately.
"Boom............ ......"
The crane flapped its wings and took a few steps back, shook its head a few times, glanced at the crowd, and then walked to the side, playing like the other cranes in the flock.
The tension of the crowd eased again, and the charlatan immediately ran to the mother and son, and glared at the man fiercely.
"If you hurt that white crane, you will be unlucky for the rest of your life!"
As he spoke, the fellow warlock looked at the crane flock over there, and looked at the child carefully while breathing a sigh of relief, this white crane is not an evil thing, and it is unlikely to hurt people, and there must be a reason for what it has done.
"Does it hurt?"
The warlock asked the child, who shook his head.
"It's not painful, but I'm taken aback.....
As he spoke, the child threw himself into his mother's arms, who held him and patted him on the back.
"What was that sound just now?" "It's weird, like a piece of paper or cloth has been torn apart."
"I heard that, too!" "Is it the hair that pecked?"
In the eyes of the warlock, the child seemed to be in better spirits, and in the midst of the chatter of his companions, the warlock's heart moved, and he reached out to the place where the crane's beak had just fallen, which was in the hair on the child's ear.
The warlock's hand fumbled for a moment, and then he pinched something black out of the child's hair, small pieces, and when he pinched them, they became powder and went away with the wind. qδ.net
"What is this?" "Dirty mud?"
The warrior who had just swung his sword next to him and the others all looked at him curiously, while the warlock shook his head with a serious expression
"No, it's paper ashes! Damn, I said how easy it is............ We fell on the road, I was afraid that someone else deliberately let us go!
"Deliberately? Isn't it .....?"
These people are also experienced in the rivers and lakes, and they reacted quickly, which is probably to lead out Zhao Yuansong.
The swordsman who had just shot said with hindsight at this moment.
"It seems that I am a villain
This white crane is so miraculous?"
The fellow warlock shook his head with a smile.
"This red-crowned white crane is a bird of the sky, and it is a blessing to see and be helped by it today............
As he spoke, the warlock took two steps forward and bowed to the white crane, the reddest crane in the flock.
"Thank you for your help!"
"Boom............ Gurg......
The other white cranes in the flock called a few times, as if they had completely ignored the group of people on the side.
"It's not a good place to stay for long, let's hurry up, shall we?" "Yes, we've stayed long enough!"
"That's right, since someone set up a situation, our whereabouts should have been exposed!"
The swordsman urged, and the others echoed.
The sorcerer thought the same thing, and after tidying up with the others, he put the woman and the child back on their horses, and the group led the horses and set off again.
It's just that when I walked in the direction of the mountain over there, some people in the team expressed concerns.
"I'm afraid our original direction is not safe!" "Hmm..."
It was already nightfall, and as the group led their horses forward, a faint mist began at the foot of the mountain in the distance and gradually grew around the swampy wetlands.
Although it was already summer, the temperature plummeted after dark, and the mother and child, who had just fallen into the water, began to feel cold.
A faint sense of uneasiness began to emerge again, and the warlock took out the compass in his arms, the hands constantly beating, and it seemed slightly chaotic.........
The warlock couldn't help but look back at the cranes that were already a little farther away, in fact, he was not the only one who frequently turned back during this period, and the children's eyes never left the white cranes over there.
The cranes over there do not stay where they are all the time, but they are frolicking while foraging for food, wading farther and farther away.
"Mother, can't we stay with the crane over there for a while?"
The speaker has no intention of listening, and the warlock's heart moves, and the cranes are indeed extraordinary.
"Maybe ......"
Before the words could be spoken, the flock of cranes over there began to flap their wings, and the white cranes led by them jumped between the shallows, flapping their wings low
Flying, a group of white cranes behind followed each other, and also jumped and flapped their wings.
The cranes flapped their wings and blew away all the thin fog in the distance.
At this moment, the warlock's heart was shocked, and he immediately gestured a little in front of the plate, and the finger correction that had been a little chaotic before instantly pointed to the crane flock in the distance.
"Something is wrong here, hurry, keep up with those cranes!"
"Let's go, hurry up!"
This time, everyone reacted very quickly, and some warriors even slapped the horse, directly letting the horse raise the speed, and he held the reins in front with light skills.
The cranes were far ahead, their wings carving a clear path through the mist of the vast swamp, and the men and horses using their own means to quickly follow behind.....
