XVII. Jedi Thrill (1)
Li Xiangru stepped on the air with one foot, fell into the abyss, vaguely heard Xuan Gui's silent call, heard the wind whirring in his ears, and was in a trance. He thought: "It's okay now, if I die, I will pay for Senior Brother Gu's life, and no one owes it." "I didn't feel the fear of death, but my heart was very calm.
When I was halfway down, I felt a tightness on my body, as if I was being caught by something, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a big bird grabbing his waist with two claws and walking leisurely in the air. It was the strange bird that Gu Mufeng, Xuan Gui and the three of them saw in the back mountain two years ago, and he still clearly remembered that it was because of this strange bird that he kicked Gu Mufeng, and then stayed in the mountains all night, and it was this strange bird that dragged him to fly in the air, and finally broke his leg, which was enough to recuperate from his injury for two months. This strange bird was also the beginning of his friendship with Gu Mufeng and Xuan Gui.
More than two years have passed, the bird has never appeared again, and Lee Sang-ru has almost forgotten about it, but now he has saved his life on his deathbed. The big bird hugged Li Xiangru's waist and flew rapidly in the air, like a frightened flood, like a swimming dragon, the white clouds rolled in all directions, and the wind whistled. Li Xiangru trembled with nervousness, for fear that as soon as its claws were released, it would fall down and fall to pieces.
The bird seemed to be confident, holding Li Xiangru in its claws and flying in mid-air, from time to time to make a few crisp chirps, at first Li Xiangru's heart was pounding, and after a while, it settled down, but felt fun and comfortable, and enjoyed the feeling of fluttering fairy.
After flying for a long time, the bird seemed to get tired of it. Circled a few times, then stopped at a large tree growing on the cliff. Underneath the tree is a platform, which has a radius of two or three feet. The bird's claws loosened and placed Lee Sang-ru firmly on the platform. Then he screamed, and flew up to the top of the treetops, perched on it, and looked into the distance.
Li Xiangru stood on the platform dizzily, calmed down, and then looked at the situation around him. I saw that the platform was located on the waist of the cliff, and when I looked up, I saw that the big tree I saw was like a giant umbrella, and it was thick and cloudy. Looking down again, the white clouds are rolling under my feet, and I can't see the bottom, I don't know how deep and high the valley bottom is. This place, in addition to growing wings, if you want to leave, it is really more difficult than climbing to the sky. I saw the mountains towering in the distance, the clouds were misty, and this cliff did not know which direction it was in Wudang Mountain. How far away from Wudang is, I can't tell at all.
Li Xiangru thought to himself: "Although the bird saved me, but I am on this cliff, I don't touch the world or the ground, I have to die of hunger and thirst." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart, and I raised my head and shouted to the bird on the big tree: "Bird, bird, what are you saving me for?
Li Xiangru turned around the platform a few times in a radius of several feet, feeling extremely bored, looking under the platform, he only felt dizzy, he didn't dare to look more, and quickly retreated. Looking up and seeing that the big tree was no more than a foot away from the platform, he climbed the rock wall and climbed up little by little along the roots of the big tree. The roots of the big tree are planted on the cliff, and the whole body of the tree is inclined outward, soaring in the air, the trunk is strong, the shade is dense, and there is a domineering and uninhibited desire to compare with the heavens.
Li Xiangru climbed along the root of the tree to the top of the trunk, the trunk was several feet thick, and the branches were also as thick as hugging, Li Xiangru stood on the branch, walked slowly, and gradually approached the treetops, where the bird was entrenched.
The bird saw Li Xiangru climb up along the trunk, its wings trembled slightly, its long tail was slightly warped, and it called softly, Li Xiangru looked up at it, and it had not seen it for nearly two years, it had grown a lot older than before, the beautiful long tail shook proudly, its wings were closed, its red beak opened and closed, and it made a low chirping sound, and its head was raised high, as if everything was not in its eyes, and the two small yellow round eyes were rolling slightly, with a kind of alertness full of wisdom.
Li Xiangru gradually approached it, and just as he stretched out his hand to grab its beautiful long tail, the bird suddenly flapped its wings, rushed into the sky with a "whoosh", and disappeared into the clouds. Li Xiangru sat on the trunk of a tree in frustration, through the dense branches and leaves, the white clouds roamed in the sky, and there was no end in sight above the cliff. Then peep down through the branches, can't help but reveal a chill all over the body, below is a deep valley, white clouds in the strong wind blowing, rising bursts of clouds, below is also unfathomable, once you fall down, the consequences are unimaginable. He didn't dare to look anymore and closed his eyes to calm his mood.
After a long time, he sighed, and slowly descended the tree trunk to the platform. Thinking about the day from life to death, and from death to life, turning a reincarnation, I don't know what happened to Gu Mufeng and Senior Sister Xuangui now, Senior Brother Gu was killed by me unintentionally, in fact, I don't even know what is going on? Shigong and Master and Wudang classmates all know it, Shigong doesn't know how sad and angry he will be, I stumbled and fell, they must have thought that I had fallen to death, but I didn't expect that I was still alive.
What about living, whether I can go up or down here, even if I can escape from this cliff and return to Wudang, what face do I have to meet my master and master, and what can I do to return Senior Brother Gu's life?
He thought about it for a long time, but he was tired and tired, and before he knew it, he fell asleep. In the middle of the night, he was awakened by a strange noise. When I opened my eyes, I saw that in the sky beyond the platform, two black shadows were fighting fiercely and chirping.
Li Xiangru rubbed his eyes, walked to the edge of the platform, and looked through the moonlight. But I saw two huge birds fighting each other in mid-air, one of them was the big bird that saved Li Xiangru, and the other looked different, only to see that it was sturdy, the top of the head was round, the wings were thick and powerful, and the body was vigorous and sensitive, although the body was not as big as the long-tailed spirit bird, but it flew down and up, but it was very agile, and what was even more powerful was that it had a long beak that was bent like an iron hook, shining in the moonlight. The two birds circled in the air and pounced on each other, then gathered their strength to rush at each other, pecking at each other, and then quickly separated again, waiting for the right moment.
The long-tailed spirit bird seems to be very afraid of the long beak of the short-winged big bird, and every time it encounters its long beak, it avoids it, and then swings its long tail and strikes it hard. The short-winged long-beaked bird passed under the long feathers of the dome, soared into the air, and then swooped downward, pecking at the long-tailed spirit bird's back with its long beak. The long-tailed spirit bird avoided slowly, and its back was beaked fiercely, and suddenly its feathers fell off by its beak and flew around in the air.
The long-tailed spirit bird screamed, as if it had been injured in the back. I saw that its body turned over in mid-air, the long tail rolled upside down, and the tip of the tail hit the head of the short-winged long-beaked bird, which was not heavy, and the long-beaked bird "croaked" loudly, and its body fell straight into the deep valley like a broken kite.
