Chapter Forty-Eight: The One-Armed Eagle King
The next day, Feng Bai never left there to ask for a token to enter and leave the palace, and went to Tailao Mountain alone to find the two-headed bird.
Mount Tailao is extremely high, and Feng Bai found the shelter of the two-headed bird, which is a cave in a cliff that is extremely high. The cave is located in the middle of the cliff, and the distance between the top of the mountain and the bottom of the earth is about the same, but it is extremely far away, and it is really very difficult to go up and down by manpower, no wonder the Thorn Country has always been unable to take it.
And there is a pile of white bones piled up at the bottom of the cave, and I don't know how many there are, which shows that the crime committed by the two-headed bird has to be said to be outrageous.
When Feng Baifei went to the cave, he saw that the two-headed bird was pecking at the remaining muscles and flesh on a pair of human bones, and there was a lot of coagulated blood like rouge on the ground, emitting bursts of fishy smell. Thinking that this two-headed bird failed to capture Princess Yingyue, it caught the others, which was really cruel.
When it saw the white wind, the evil bird was taken aback, and then its whole body feathers stood upside down, and it let out a strange quacking sound, and then looked vigilant and looked at each other.
Feng Bai took a few steps forward and said, "Beast, you usually do a lot of evil, and now I will take you back to the country of thorns to show the public." After raising the scepter, he was about to slam the two-headed bird's head.
Unexpectedly, a gloomy voice came from the cave: "Who is bold enough to dare to break into my cave?" Before the voice fell, a one-armed old man with a hideous face flashed out.
I saw that the old man was more than a foot tall, his beard was white and unkempt, and his eyes were like eagles. The only remaining right arm was holding a five-foot iron whip, which was covered with barbs, which made Feng Bai gasp.
Look closely at the iron whip, it is a live iron buckle ring connected to each other, each iron buckle has barbs at the four corners, if it is hit, even if it does not die, it has to scrape a large piece of flesh alive, it is really a cruel weapon.
Feng Bai muttered in his heart, this old man and the two-headed bird are in the same hole, could it be that the two-headed bird is fed by the old man? Nine times out of ten, this is a little difficult to do, this old man does not seem to be a good person, and he doesn't know what he has changed, if the Tao is not high, it is good, if the Tao is higher than himself, then he really can't take this evil bird.
After this thought flashed in his heart, Feng Bai said loudly: "The younger generation is brave, and I ask the seniors to forgive me for the offense, but this two-headed bird often goes to the country of thorns to catch people to eat, and it is extremely cruel, and the juniors are trying to catch it so that they can bring it back to the country of thorns." β
The old man's face sank, and he said, "The two-headed bird went to catch people on my orders, and after catching it, I ate people's hearts, and it ate human flesh, if you take it away, don't you want me to catch people myself?"
Although Feng Bai had already guessed that the old man was not a good person, he was still stunned when he heard him say words that ate people's hearts, and said: "Why do the predecessors want to eat people's hearts, there are many wild beasts on the mountain, isn't it good to eat wild things?"
"Hahahaha......" The old man burst out with a string of sarcastic laughter, and he didn't know whether it was Xiaofeng Bai naΓ―ve, or Xiao Fengbai was nosy.
"Boy, people are the length of all things, when I was a snow eagle on Kunlun Mountain, I knew that human flesh was delicious, as for the human heart, it was more nourishing, it was to eat a lot of people's hearts, I turned into a human form in just three hundred years, but unfortunately, the old ghost in Kunlun was nosy, and he cut off my left arm, hum, these people who claim to be righteous are really hateful, if it weren't for the Kunlun old ghost has soared, how can I say that the Eagle King will also recover this debt. β
Feng Bai was stunned when he heard this, the old Kunlun ghost that the Eagle King said must be the Kunlun Immortal Venerable who has already ascended to the heavenly realm. It seems that this eagle demon is not easy to mess with, and he must be cautious.
"But isn't it against heaven for you to kill innocents indiscriminately for your own appetite?" Feng Bai tried to reason with the Eagle Demon and asked him to allow him to take the two-headed bird with him.
"Hahahaha......" The Eagle Demon laughed again, "Heavenly Dao, where is Heavenly Dao? If there is really a Heavenly Dao, how can my Eagle King still be able to transform into a human form after eating so many people's hearts? It is estimated that he would have been killed by Heavenly Thunder a long time ago." β
"It's not that I don't report it, the time has not yet come, and the seniors are better to be more restrained. β
"Stinky boy, what are you from that you dare to teach me a lesson? If you tell the truth, I can still keep you alive, if not, let you mouthy boy die here, and I will dig your heart to eat." The old man's eyes narrowed, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes.
"The junior is just an ordinary cultivator, out of the heart of eliminating evil, come to find this two-headed bird, the senior is so violent, often want to eat people's hearts, the demonic nature is difficult to change, I think the curse will come soon, if you can wake up and let me take away the two-headed bird, maybe there is a chance to continue to practice. β
Feng Bai knew that he might not only not be able to take away the two-headed bird today, but also have to fight with the old man, even so, it was better to bluff him again, bluff the best, forget if he didn't bluff, prepare for a big battle.
Since the predecessors of Houtu gave a pill of elixir, Feng Bai felt that his cultivation had reached a new level, and now it was time to test and test to see what the six thousand years of Taoism was like.
"I don't know what is alive or dead, wait for me to kill you, and see how noisy you are. The old man's killing intent was raised, his hand was raised, and the iron whip slammed into the wind.
Feng Bai had already prepared, dodged sideways, and with a snap, the old man's iron whip hit the ground, flying the debris from the bottom of the stone cave and filling the smoke and dust. Feng Bai couldn't help but be a little shocked in his heart.
But horror is horror, Feng Bai didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, waved his scepter, and fought against the old man.
After more than ten hands, Feng Bai felt that the old man was quite profound, and he was afraid that he would be higher than himself. But Feng Bai fought with all his might, and he would not be defeated for a while. The main reason is that the old man is tall, and the hole is narrow, and the old man can't show it.
After fighting for about a hundred li, the old man couldn't take advantage, so he went berserk, shot like thunder, and hit the hole with dust and choked his mouth. Feng Bai took advantage of his flexible body and the convenience of not being constrained by the cave, dodging left and right, avoiding the real and hitting the void, and he could also deal with it freely.
But if you want to win against the old man, you can't, Fengbai has no intention of fighting, and jumps out of the battle circle at the right time, and shoots out of the cave.
As soon as I got out of the cave, I saw that the two-headed bird had flown out of the cave at some point, and was hovering in the air at this time. Feng Bai was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that he couldn't help the one-armed Eagle King, and capturing this beast and bringing it back was also a disaster. What's more, this one-armed eagle king may not be able to let himself leave so comfortably, just borrowing a two-headed bird to take himself away.
In his mind, Feng Bai stepped on the back of the two-headed bird. Then he got on one of its necks, clinging to its thick neck with his left hand, and striking the other of its heads with his right hand with a staff, and then pointed it in the right direction, saying, "Beast, fly forward for me, and get me out of here, or else I will kill you." β
The two-headed bird was in pain, and one of its heads was knocked out of the water, but it was unwilling, and immediately rolled rapidly, wanting to drop Fengbai.
Feng Bai's left hand hugged its neck tightly, and his legs clamped hard, this roll had no effect on him.
One of the two-headed birds couldn't roll, and then another, and another, and three rolled down, but they still couldn't shake off the wind white. It suddenly lost its temper, opened its mouth and screamed, and scurried wildly.
Feng Bai struck it on the head again, pointed forward at the same time, and shouted, "Fly forward for me, and if you disobey, you will be killed immediately." β
The two-headed bird knew that it had encountered a ruthless character, so it could only endure the pain of being hit in the head and fly quickly according to Feng Bai's instructions. This two-headed bird is huge in size and has a very wide wingspan, and it flies with wings at a speed far beyond the reach of the wind.
Feng Bai looked back, the one-armed eagle king was really chasing after him, if he hadn't made the two-headed bird fly forward in time, he was afraid that it would be difficult to escape the entanglement of the one-armed eagle king.
In order not to disturb the people, Feng Bai told the two-headed bird to fly all the way to the capital of the Thorn Country, which made the two-headed bird slowly descend. The two-headed bird seemed to know that it was being held hostage by Fengbai, and it would lose face in front of people, so it didn't obey, and Fengbai slammed it on the other head, and the big head suddenly clicked, and the skull shattered.
The two-headed bird let out a terrible chirp, one head was useless, its neck was lowered, and its body fell sharply from the sky.
Feng Bai's left hand hurriedly grabbed its other neck, trying to stop its rapid fall. However, the two-headed bird was hit badly and did not recover for a while, and still fell sharply.
In a short time, it was down to the ground. The people of the city had already seen the two-headed bird, and they all shouted loudly and ran for shelter, and the ground was in chaos for a while.
Feng Bai couldn't pull the two-headed bird, so he had to let it fall to the ground, and the people on the ground had already hid in the house, and when they saw the wind white on the bird's back, they calmed down a little, and they were all thinking about who this young man was, and it seemed that he had subdued the two-headed bird, which was not ordinary.
The bold ones came out to see the excitement, pointing at the two-headed bird, and one of the middle-aged people said: "Childe, where are you going to take this evil bird? Don't let it get away, it can hurt a lot of innocent people." β
"Rest assured, everyone, I am taking it to the palace to report this matter to the king, and then its life will be suspended outside the palace for public display. Feng Bai explained.
"This is very good, Childe is really meritorious. The middle-aged man saluted to Feng Bai with a fist.
Feng Bai smiled and nodded, and then ordered the two-headed bird to walk forward to the palace. On the other hand, he said to the people in the shops on both sides: "Don't be afraid, the evil bird has been subdued by me, and it will not come out to do evil again in the future." β
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the guards in the palace were taken aback when they saw the two-headed bird, and when they saw the white wind on the bird's back, they suddenly felt incredible, so they hurried into the palace to report to the king.
After a short time, the king and Buli, Yingyue and a group of guards came out, and they were all happy to see this scene. The king couldn't believe that Feng Bai had single-handedly subdued the evil bird that had endangered the country of Flower Thorn for hundreds of years, and he was shocked for a while. Buli and Yingyue secretly admired Fengbai, and also strengthened his determination to learn the Tao.
Feng Bai smashed the second head of the evil bird in public, and the evil bird screamed and died on the spot, and his tall body lay on the ground, his wings slightly open, and his head drooped to the ground, without the majesty of the past.
"My lord, I suggest that you put up a notice in the middle of the country to tell the people that they can rest assured that they don't have to worry about the evil bird eating people, and then hang this bird outside the palace to show the people, so as to reassure the people. Feng Bai said to the king.
"It's so good, Fengbai Gongzi has eliminated harm for the people, and this king has thanked Gongzi from top to bottom in the country. It's just that this evil bird is extremely ferocious, how did Childe capture it?" the king was obviously extremely puzzled by Feng Bai's submission to the evil bird.
After all, the kings of the past generations had worked hard to help this bird, but Feng Bai caught it alone, what a miraculous power.
"This ...... It's just a little subtotal, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning. β
Seeing that Feng Bai didn't want to say, he didn't force it, so he immediately invited Feng Bai into the palace and said that he would set up a banquet to entertain him. Feng Bai hurriedly excused himself, while motioning to help him push away the banquet.
Although the king felt regretful, he had no choice but to obey the wishes of the two.
