Origin

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Gao Zhan asked doubtfully, "Sir, is the seal you are talking about the pass where the big red-feathered bird is located in the north?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "There are five seals in total, and that is just one of them. The big red-feathered bird is called Suzaku, which is a southern mythical beast that guards the confinement of the demon clan. In addition to it, there is the Dong Qinglong, which guards the confinement of the gods and guards the demon clan. The West White Tiger, and the Bei Xuanwu who guards the ghost clan."

"Who will guard the other place?" Gao Zhan asked again.

Wu Zhongyuan replied, "There is another seal located in Kunlun Mountain, which imprisons the beast tribe. It is sealed by a spiritual energy barrier and no one is guarding it."

Gao Zhan knew that Wu Zhongyuan was in a hurry to leave, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Sir, these four mythical beasts are all aliens, why do they protect the humans in Middle-earth?"

"Your ancestors were not human, so why would they protect humans?" Wu Zhongyuan answered with a question.

Gao Zhan naturally couldn't answer this question, "Sir, what will happen if the seal disappears?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "If I can answer this question, there is no need to enter the stone tower tomb in the valley."

Gao Zhan nodded slowly.

"Okay, it's getting late, and it's time for me to leave." Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Gao Zhan and said seriously, "Get ready to rush to the wolf clan as soon as possible. If you can't defeat Zhan Hui, you don't want to see me again. .”

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's solemn expression, Gao Zhan knelt down on one knee and responded solemnly.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything else, he raised his energy and swept towards the southeast.

The temperature in the south is just higher than in the north, but in winter the temperature is also very low. It is already early winter. Although the grass and trees in the mountains are still green, there are many fewer snakes, insects, rats and ants. There are few birds and insects in the dark mountain forests. .

Wu Zhongyuan's destination was five hundred miles away in the southeast, where there was a river called Lishui. As for the specific situation of Lishui, he did not know because the information came from the Biography of Birds handed to him by Li Wanzi, which only said Someone once saw a four-clawed dragon with antlers in Lishui.

Under normal circumstances, dragons have no claws. Even those with advanced Taoist practices only have two front claws at most. A dragon with four claws is definitely not a dragon. The person who discovered this dragon-shaped creature and the person who conveyed the message did not know it. This, but he and Li Wanzi knew that the reason why Li Wanzi passed this news to him was because he suspected that this dragon-shaped creature was the horned dragon halberd in the psychic weapon. The basis for the judgment was that this dragon-shaped creature Not only does it have four claws, but it also has antlers on its head. The only one that fits this situation is the legendary Azure Dragon, but the Azure Dragon is green, and this four-clawed dragon has purple-yellow scales on its body.

There are not only aliens in the Southern Wilderness, there are also humans living in some places. The three major tribes in Middle-earth are just three larger tribes. In addition to them, there are many small tribes. Occasionally, you can see some villages inhabited by humans along the way.

Wu Zhongyuan has been to Nanhuang several times before. Although he does not know Nanhuang very well, he is not completely unfamiliar with it. Judging from the direction of the surrounding mountains, his current location should be due east of the Yin Yang Spring where he first encountered Jiang Nan. Towards.

At dawn, I vaguely noticed a group of white figures in front of me. Those white figures were located on a winding road in the mountains. They should be people wearing white clothes.

After walking for more than ten miles, he could see more clearly. He had seen correctly before. They were indeed people in white clothes, carrying a coffin. There were people holding filial sticks in front of the coffin. Needless to say, this was a funeral procession.

Among the four ancient civilizations, ancient China is the latest in origin, but our country is the only one of the four ancient civilizations that has continued to modern times. Many ancient traditions have been preserved, including some funeral customs. At this time, people have already begun Weeping and mourning for the deceased.

Anyone else would have been frightened when they saw this scene in the mountains at dawn. However, Wuzhong Yuanyi Master was bold and not afraid. Not only was he not afraid, he also moved forward. His old habit of doing research has returned. , I want to observe and understand the funeral customs of the Southern Wasteland natives up close at this time.

There were dozens of people in the funeral procession. The men walked in front with hemp ropes tied around their waists, with the coffin in the middle. The women walked behind wearing white linen cloths. I couldn't fully understand it, but I could only make out the general idea that these men were all descendants of the deceased, and they were shouting "Father, Lord, come with me." The women, on the other hand, cry from behind and chant some things that happened to the deceased when he was still alive, which is similar to singing praises. The general meaning is to let the deceased know that they miss the deceased's good son and appreciate the deceased's love.

Everyone who mourns will cry, but there are real cries and fake cries. It can be seen that these people are really sad. The person who died was an old man who was very generous to his children and grandchildren. The cause of death was that one of his grandsons was ill. The old man I was climbing a mountain to collect herbs, but because I was old and frail, I lost my grip and fell down the mountain to my death.

Emotions are easily infected by the outside world. Seeing their grief and sadness, Wu Zhongyuan also sighed. He should do more good deeds when he is alive. Even after he dies, there will be people who appreciate him.

Just as he was about to leave the hiding place, cheerful laughter suddenly came from not far away on the right, "Hahahaha, hehehehe."

The laughter came suddenly and loudly. Not only Wu Zhongyuan heard it, but also the funeral procession. They all stopped crying and looked towards the place where the laughter came from.

The place where the laughter came was not far to the right of Wu Zhongyuan. Everyone did not see the person laughing, but they saw him, "There is someone in the tree!"

"It's good to die, it's good to die, it's all over. It's good to die, it's good to die, there are no worries." The voice came again.

One can imagine the consequences of shouting out this voice. The sufferer just thought it was him shouting and was very angry. A group of filial sons and grandsons pointed at him and yelled at him.

Wu Zhongyuan did not reply. He was eagerly looking for the person who made the sound, but there were only a few big trees on his right. Although they had lush branches and leaves, they could not hide anyone.

At this time, the master of suffering had already started to pick up stones and throw them at him. Wu Zhongyuan jumped towards the big tree on the right. When he got close, he still couldn't see the speaker.

At this moment, cheerful whistles came from above.

Wu Zhongyuan looked up eagerly when he heard the sound. He still saw no one on the tree, but the whistle continued, just behind the tree trunk high up.

Wu Zhongyuan could see things secretly, and when he looked closely, he saw two tail feathers similar to bird feathers vaguely exposed from behind the tree trunk. He listened to the whistle again, and it seemed familiar. He should have heard similar sounds somewhere before.

Eager to recall, I immediately remembered that Wang Xinran once took people with him to the underground altar in Sanxingdui. Among them was a girl named Xiao Qin who brought a myna with her. The voice just spoken and the whistle that was still continuing at this time The sound is somewhat similar to that of the myna. It is certain that the one making the sound is not Xiao Qin's myna, but the sound is obviously that of a bird like the myna.

He knew the Aryan beast-control skills, and he concentrated on perception, and immediately felt that there was indeed a bird hidden behind the tree trunk. Its shape was larger than that of a myna, and it should be as big as two mynas.

The strange bird's whistle is very loud and the tune is very cheerful. It must have learned the song of a tribe celebrating the harvest. When people are attending funerals, it sings happy songs from the side. You can imagine how many people have suffered. Angry, they couldn't see the strange bird, so they just thought it was Wu Zhongyuan who was causing trouble, cursing, picking up rocks and throwing them.

"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a deep voice.

As soon as he spoke, the bitter master was stunned, because the whistling continued when Wu Zhongyuan spoke, and Wu Zhongyuan's voice was obviously different from the previous voice.

"Guess." The voice was carefree and cynical.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer immediately. He had previously detected the creature's cultivation level while sensing the opponent's existence. This strange bird had no spiritual energy cultivation level, and it did not even have the light red color of the cave god. It could not be a monster, but it was not a monster. How can I have a conversation with someone so fluently?

Just when Wu Zhongyuan looked up in confusion, a white bird head suddenly appeared from behind the tree trunk. This guy's tongue was longer than that of ordinary birds. At this time, he was making faces at him with his mouth open and his tongue out, "Ah~"

Before Wu Zhongyuan could fully see its appearance, the bird's head had already retracted, "Can you see it clearly?"

The strange bird didn't scare Wu Zhongyuan, but it scared away the group of mourners under the tree.

"Come again." The bird's head emerged from the other side of the tree trunk again, and it still opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue to make a face.

This time Wu Zhongyuan saw it clearly. He had white hair and red mouth, and the hair below his neck was gray. Some looked like starlings, and some looked like swallows.

"Where did this flat-haired beast come from?" Wu Zhongyuan was very interested. Why this thing can speak fluent human language is unknown, but it is certain that it is not a monster.

"Zie'er, Zhu'er." The strange bird shouted loudly.

At this time, the curse words were not as fancy as modern times. Zhu'er was just an ugly word, equivalent to a dog. This strange bird also added a tail sound, which was equivalent to calling him a dog's son.

"If you scold you again, I will shoot you down." Wu Zhongyuan threatened.

The strange bird was not afraid. Not only did it not restrain itself, it scolded it even more wildly. At the same time, it poked its head left and right from behind the tree trunk, as if you couldn't shoot me.

The tree trunk where the strange bird was hiding was as thick as a bowl, so ordinary arrows could not penetrate it. Seeing that it kept provoking death, Wu Zhongyuan was a little angry, but he was very interested in this strange bird and was not willing to shoot it to death. Take the bow down and shoot an arrow at random.

The arrow passed through the tree trunk, passed close to the body, and shot down a few feathers of the strange bird.

The strange bird didn't expect Wu Zhongyuan to be able to shoot him, so it let out two strange screams. However, the creature was so bold that instead of running away, it rushed towards him.

Wu Zhongyuan did not expect that it would dare to fight back, nor did he expect that this guy would move so fast and be close in the blink of an eye. He held a long bow in his hand, raised his left hand quickly, and used the long bow to strike and expel it.

Not only did he miscalculate the courage and speed of the strange bird, but he also miscalculated its intention. The strange bird rushed towards him not to peck him, but to poop at him. It suddenly stopped and slowed down five feet away. "Pfft~"

Wu Zhongyuan sensed this and hurriedly tilted his head to dodge, but he was able to avoid it completely, and the left side of his face was sprayed a lot.

Bird droppings didn't smell bad, but they were dirty even if they weren't smelly. Wu Zhongyuan frowned, took his bow and arrow again, and shot another arrow at the strange bird that was flapping its wings and flying high.

He wanted to shoot down the strange bird with this arrow, but what he didn't expect was that the strange bird slanted its wings to avoid its vital points, and this arrow shot down a few more feathers.

Wu Zhongyuan marveled at the strange bird's swift movement. At the same time, the strange bird was hovering above the tree crown and shouting curses. This time it was a loud curse, which was all vulgar language that insulted the ancestors.

Wu Zhongyuan raised his spirits and climbed high, reaching the top of the tree. The strange bird flew quickly and dodged, and at the same time it kept screaming and cursing.

"Don't run away if you have the guts." Wu Zhongyuan's thoughts flashed in his mind, and he recalled the arrows he had shot earlier to gain energy to pursue.

"Third Master is flying, and the pig is chasing..."
