Chapter 486: Black Phoenix Pheasant
"Master, we're in a hurry, don't sell it, tell us quickly."
Xu Xiake knew that they were in a hurry to find phoenix blood, and urged Lao Dao to quickly tell the origin of this earthfowl, but Yun Yangzi was still not in a hurry, and only after fiddling with a circle of Dao beads did he explain its origin:
"The pheasant is a pheasant, the male tail has long feathers and gorgeous feathers, and the female has short tail feathers and black and brown feathers, like this kind of black thing called xenomorphism, that is, it is the abnormal class of things mentioned in the Book of Things, generally one of ten thousand is rare, only appears in the troubled years of the famine, and may not appear for a hundred years or thousands of years, but as long as it appears, it must be a sign of evil."
Once such an anomaly appears in the pheasant flock, most of them will be considered ominous and abandoned by the population, this black pheasant often has to live in isolation from the group when it is young, not accepted by the population, and if it wants to survive, it can only desperately make a living and hunt, in the process, it is inevitable to be bullied by other ground birds.
They are in this harsh underground, it is unlikely to survive adulthood, once they die, it means that the sky is extinguished, but it is a good omen, if there is a black pheasant successfully lived to adulthood, it means that the black pheasant has changed from a ground fowl to a spirit, which is commonly known as the black pheasant.
Although this black pheasant is still in the form of a bird, it can bewitch all things so that they cannot be freed, and any ordinary bird can not fight it, as long as the black pheasant looks up to the sky and sings, either the birds surrender, or the soul will fly away, and the life will be lost and frightened to death.
When the old Taoist priest said this, Yue Guanchao remembered the sound of this miscellaneous chicken, which was indeed different from ordinary birds, he didn't expect this bird to have such a big origin, and continued to ask: "This thing should be regarded as a phoenix, right?" ”
"This unusual and ferocious bird is commonly known as the phoenix, which has evil in its blood and can dispel all evil things."
Lao Dao paused, and looked at him curiously: "What are you looking for it?" This kind of black phoenix pheasant is a fierce thing, and it is inevitable to provoke bad luck when you get close, I advise you to stay away, as for the jade sac on your body, I can't see what it is, but you'd better solve it as soon as possible, so as not to get into trouble. ”
"Yes, thanks for mentioning that."
Yue Guanchao asked this, he had basically solved the problem he was concerned about, Yue Guanchao saluted towards the old road of Yunyang, took back his things, and took his companions out of the Chongxu Dao Palace.
"I still don't believe it, this miscellaneous chicken has so much power, is it because it looks black, it is said to have evil spirits."
Tang Dayang looked down at the black phoenix pheasant, with disbelief written on his face.
Song Siyuan looked at Tang Dayang and explained: "Didn't Brother Xu say it, this kind of statement is believed or not, it is normal for Taoists to understand it as a bad omen, they have always believed that heaven has a sense of response, and any change in heaven and earth will intervene in the changes in the world, this belongs to the ancients called heaven and man induction, it sounds really mysterious, but science seems to be explainable!" ”
Then, she cleared her throat and talked about her opinion of this miscellaneous chicken: "This kind of abnormal individual, biologically belongs to the recessive gene is activated, you can understand that in ancient times, the ancestor of the pheasant had a black species, and later with the convergence of species evolution, this black gene was suppressed because of hybridization and preserved in the genes of the population. ”
"After natural and man-made disasters, or changes in the external environment such as climate changes, perhaps the genes in the pheasant's body will be activated, and after hatching, it will eventually show this effect of blackness all over the body, and then because it has not appeared for thousands of years, it is classified as a bad omen, and at the same time, the population has abandoned them because they are aliens."
"In the process of living in groups for many years, these xenos can only become more and more ferocious in order to survive, and it is decades of hunting and hunting that have cultivated the fierce personality of the black pheasant, making them brave and aggressive, and at the same time, in order to paralyze their opponents, they often pretend to be weak, so that their opponents can be negligent."
Everyone listened to her explanation, but it was completely in line with the situation of the miscellaneous chicken in front of them, but they didn't understand it at all about the chicken general who roared to death, and everyone felt that it was a product of strange forces, and it was precisely because of this situation.
"Song Qianjin, even if the scientific explanations you say are true, is it because of genes when you roar at General Chicken? What genes are so powerful. ”
Yue Guanchao's words were facing Song Siyuan's appetite, she stared at everyone with wide eyes, and her eyes flashed with suspicion: "I think that General Chicken is not dead at all!" ”
"It just fell into a state of suspended animation, many animals in nature will create physical visions to avoid natural enemies, such as ostriches will burrow into the sand when they encounter danger, weasels will release stink when they encounter danger, some lizards will spray red liquid from their eyes when they encounter danger, and chickens are frightened, it is easy to enter a state of fake dead dead, and even some creatures directly imitate flowers and trees to avoid natural enemies."
"I'm thinking that the cry of this black pheasant should be some kind of high and low frequency sound waves, which humans don't feel, and it is undoubtedly a shocking thunder for animals, which makes them fall into a state of suspended animation."
Everyone didn't understand her words, but they could guess that the sound made by the miscellaneous chicken could make the bird unconscious, Yue Guanchao wanted to refute her words, but when he turned his head, he saw the old brother holding the chicken general and running over happily: "Oh, little brother, look at what I have done, my chicken general is fake death, I fed her a few mouthfuls of water and woke up." ”
"I'm going to have to give you back these oceans."
Yue Guanchao looked at General Chicken, except for some fatigue, he was indeed resurrected, stretched out his head and kept blinking, and saw the black pheasant in his arms unconsciously shrank his neck a few times.
"This is the suppression of the ground fowl by the ferocious xenomorphs!"
