Shen Yun was very curious: "The Tan family uses Bi Fang Bird as a totem, what is the point in this?"

"It's stumped on me. Wei Qingchen smiled, "If the lord asks me about Bi Fangniao, I can barely answer a few words." ”

"Yes. Shen Yun beckoned Duanmu Guang, "Duanmu, Elder Wei wants to talk about the ancient Bifang Bird." You come in and listen. ”

"Yes. Duanmu Guang was originally standing at the door, but when he heard this, he happily entered the study and stood beside Shen Yun with his hands down.

Wei Qingchen picked up the tea bowl in his hand, took a sip, and said, "Coincidentally, I can know Bi Fangniao, and it was because of this Bi Fangling at first. ”

As soon as you hear it, you know there's a story here. Shen Yun and Duanmu Guang were both interested.

Wei Qingchen smiled slightly, put down the tea bowl, and spoke eloquently.

At that time, he was seven years old and a new disciple of the inner gate. In order to prepare for the upcoming new disciple test, he deliberately went to the library to exchange spells. As a result, while looking for a suitable spell book, he accidentally saw a seal pattern in an old book. In the pattern, it is a one-legged bird with its wings spread and its head held high.

He had never seen this kind of bird before, and he thought it was very fresh, so he immediately rubbed it with jade slips.

It happened to be his father on duty that day. Therefore, after he left the library, he went to the inner deacon hall and asked his father what the one-legged bird in the pattern was.

When my father saw it, his expression changed greatly, and he asked urgently, "Where did you get this seal from?"

Xiao Wei Qingchen was truthful.

"You'll sleep with me tonight. Also, the matter of the seal must rot in the stomach, and it is not allowed to be heard by a third party, understand?"

It was night, and my father did not come back.

The next morning, my father came back with a dewy face and a tired face.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Wei Qingchen smelled a faint smell of blood from his father. He rolled over and got up from the bed and nervously greeted him: "Daddy, are you injured?"

The father seemed to be in a good mood, reached out and scratched his nose lightly, and said with a smile: "Yo, my son's nose is quite smart." Don't worry, it's not your father's blood. ”

Next, his father motioned for him to go back to bed and lie down, and he sat down sideways on the edge of the bed: "Do you know what Daddy did last night?"

Xiao Wei Qingchen came up with the answer to this question last night: "It must be the owner of the seal." ”

"Yes, it's not right. The father smiled and said, "Son, what your father told you today, you can only rot in your stomach, and you can't tell a third person." ”

After Xiao Wei Qingchen responded, he continued: "This seal is called 'Bi Fang Seal'. Its owner does not need to be checked. Because Bi Fangyin is the head of the old Tan family in Jiufeng Mountain. Seeing the order is like seeing the head of the family. How could there be a Bi Fang seal in the inner door library of our Heavenly God Sect? Daddy is going to catch the mole. ”

"Did the traitor catch it?" asked Xiao Wei Qingchen with concern.

The father raised his hand and touched his head, and said with a smile: "Because you came to tell me in time, so, last night, we caught the mole." Well, this thing is over. Don't mention it again. ”

Then his father told him that he had done a great job in this. But his father was worried that there were still people behind the mole, so for his safety, when his father reported it, he hid this link.

"There are still rewards. When the reward given to your father by the sect comes down, you can choose any of them. On top of that, you can ask your dad for another reward. This one will be cashed in immediately. The father asked, "Son, what do you want?"

Xiao Wei Qingchen didn't think about it, took one of his father's hands, and begged, "Daddy, tell me about Bi Fangniao." I've never seen a bird with only one leg. ”

The father talked and counted, and really told him about Bi Fang Bird: "Bi Fang Bird is also an ancient divine beast. It does not eat grains and other mortal things, but lives by devouring flames. It is rumored that if the call of Bifang bird is heard somewhere, then a major fire will soon break out here. ”

Xiao Wei Qingchen listened with relish. I asked some questions about Bi Fang Bird to the bottom of the matter. My father patiently answered them one by one. Finally, he told him not to mention Bi Fang Bird and Bi Fang Yin in front of people.

"Why?" Duanmu Guang couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

Wei Qingchen smiled: "I also asked so at that time." The father said vaguely, 'Don't meddle in your child's affairs, when you grow up, you will naturally tell you'. Later, when I grew up, I had forgotten about it. I didn't ask my father again. Therefore, I still don't know why my father repeatedly told me at that time not to mention Bi Fang Bird and Bi Fang Yin in front of people. ”

Duanmu Guang sighed. After listening to it for a long time, I still haven't heard anything really useful.

Shen Yun thought for a while and tried to answer, "Could it be because of superstition?"

"Superstition?" Wei Qingchen and Duanmu Guang were both surprised.

Shen Yun nodded: "In our hometown, everyone believes that mentioning ominous things will bring bad luck. Elder Wei, didn't Ling Zun tell you? Hearing Bi Fang's bird chirp indicates that there will be a big fire here. In our hometown, people like Bi Fangniao are clearly disaster stars. People don't even get enough of it to mention it and anything related to it. ”

Wei Qingchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he also felt that it made sense: "The lord is right. My family does have some superstitions. In the New Year alone, there are many taboos. Words like those that are not good should never be said in the New Year. He shook his head slightly, "My father was a superstitious man himself. When he was younger, he was a little better, but as he got older, his father became more and more superstitious...... The old Tan family is not a family of good luck. When I was young, I heard my father mention more than once that the old Tan family has been crazy for generations, and I am afraid that the feng shui of the ancestral house is not good. Alas, maybe that's as simple as that. It's because Bi Fangniao and the old Tan family are hoodoos in his father's mind. ”

Duanmu Guang had a different opinion and asked, "Elder Wei, didn't you still catch the traitor? Then the old Tan family has a festival with your sect? Could it be because of this?"

"It's not. The old Tan family and the sect have no festivals. These are two different things. Wei Qingfa didn't explain, but directly denied it.

Hearing this, Duanmu Guang guessed that this must involve Elder Wei's sect secrets. No matter how detailed it is, Elder Wei doesn't say it, and he is not an outsider who can break the casserole and ask to the end. Besides, Elder Wei's answer couldn't be more certain, and there was no need to ask any more questions.

So, he hugged Elder Wei slightly to show his gratitude.

The more Shen Yun thought about it, the more strange he felt: "From the legends that have been handed down, it can't be seen that there is a Bifang bird that will bring fire. For that alone, I'm afraid not many people will like it. However, this old Tan family of Jiufeng Mountain worships it as the totem of the family, which is really interesting. ”

Elder Wei hehe: "Bi Fang Bird also has a fire crow, another name for the fire crow. Judging from the two aliases, it is indeed not very popular. The taste of the ancestors of the old Tan family is a bit heavy. ”

"By the way, Elder Wei, does the name Jiufeng Mountain come from?" Shen Yun asked again, "I mean, is there a legend of the phoenix here?"

Wei Fachen replied, "I haven't been to Jiufeng Mountain. However, this Jiufeng Mountain used to be very famous. It's actually an east-west mountain range. There are nine peaks in it. Legend has it that a feng shui master once passed by and saw the image of a phoenix spreading its wings and flying high. Therefore, it was ordered to be Jiufeng Mountain. Strange to say, that area has always been unknown and unrecognizable. After being appointed as Jiufeng Mountain, the Orion Lao Tan family at the foot of the mountain quickly developed, and within a hundred years, it became a well-known Xiuzhen family. The reputation of the old Tan family in Jiufeng Mountain has also been shown since then. ”

Shen Yun smiled: "It is not excluded that the old Tan family put gold on their faces. ”

"That's for sure. Wei Qingchen also smiled.

It seems that Elder Wei only knows so much. Shen Yun waved his hand, and the conversation changed, talking about the fact that three days later, the head of the Tan family would come to visit.

In this regard, Wei Qingchen is very optimistic: "The old Tan family is also a thousand-year-old family, and they are still a little particular about their actions. He can't do the kind of thing that comes to the door empty-handed to beg for people, he must be using the people behind those two old men as a vote. Before, I was still thinking about what the old Tan family would do to vote. The lord has cheapened them this time. ”

Shen Yun also thought so, and instructed Duanmu Guangdao: "You go and talk to Ah Mang, don't let him worry." ”

"Yes. ”
