Chapter 61: The Way to Leave Penglai
There is no window here, so I can't see the situation below, so I have to calm down first and think about how I can save myself and escape once the two sides start fighting.
For me, although I don’t have the ability to fight, I am quite experienced in hiding and catching fish in troubled waters.
The biggest obstacle at the moment is my bracelet and stomp and handcuffs, and that damn bronze strand!
I fiddled with the pile of debris, hoping to find some useful tools and break myself out of the bondage first. But most of them are things that are not useful, and powerful tools such as chainsaws will not appear.
The mother Qilin was also a little anxious at this moment. She kept walking around the room, making a whirlpool or two from time to time.
I recalled a strange question: Who is its owner?
The one who guided me to put the head of the sea god at the breakthrough of the city wall was the male unicorn downstairs. Such a spirit beast was obviously very human, but it did this to deliberately push the fate of Penglai Island to an unstable situation.
Why?
Doesn’t it want to live comfortably in the Red Golden Tower? Which faction does it stand in and who is its owner?
I looked at the beautiful eyes of the female Qilin and had another idea: the concept of "master" in our minds is often the human offering and control of certain things, such as if I raised a dog, I was its owner, I bought a car, and I was its owner again.
However, there are also some non-artificial choices, such as the saying "Qilin seeks the master" in ancient China.
Fuxi, Yao, and Shun are the sages and monarchs we talk about most. Their appearance and ascension to the throne were accompanied by the appearance of the Qilin. People often say that the Qilin is a spiritual beast sent by God to assist the saints. After it finds that person, the person becomes the master of the Qilin. He will lead the people of the world to clear the turbid air in the world and create a peaceful and prosperous era.
According to this statement, the Qilin cannot be raised by anyone. Its owner must choose itself. Once the owner is determined, he will become a saint, leader, and king!
Penglai is clearly a chaotic world now, and Gong Qilin's approach is undoubtedly to trigger a more chaotic scene. From this we can see that the current Dongwang Gong Xiao Yaotong is not the master it is looking for.
Although the war just began, I had already expected the result: the little demon child will be defeated, and the Red Golden Tower will change hands again.
But who is the person chosen by Qilin? The Sea God? Human? Or someone we have never noticed?
There were a lot of knocking and collision sounds coming from outside, and no one in the city could speak. I think it must be a strange battle scene, without shouting, without instructions, or even screaming. This is probably the silent war in history!
"Dingdeng."
I heard a burst of anxious footsteps coming from the stairs, and the little demon boy appeared behind me with his lips tightly biting his head.
He didn't blame me for the messy pile of miscellaneous items, and hurriedly rushed to me, lifted his foot and kicked the miscellaneous items even more messy. After a while, he squatted down and found what he needed-
It was the box with a golden mask.
He hesitated for a moment, picked up the blue bird mask, and then stuck it in his face.
He waved his hand and I went over to help him fix the position of the mask. He had not grown up yet, his face was smaller than the mask, and it was really hard to wear it.
He squatted down, then flipped out a big, rusty bronze sword, pinned it to his waist, touched my face, and rushed downstairs in a hurry.
I looked at him and was shocked: Prince Eastern went to war?
I thought of a prince named Lanling King. He was brave and good at fighting, but he was extremely handsome and thought he was not enough to intimidate the enemy, so he made a hideous mask and wore it every time he was in war.
The little demon boy put on a blue bird mask. Do you also need it to cover up his tender childhood face?
Although I hate the opium control of the little demon boy and the slap he gave me very much, he is just a child after all. The method of managing the Quiet City must have been passed down by the previous Dongwanggong. If it weren't for that tail, he should be a good child, right?
I think he is so young and is about to face a earth-shaking change in the city. It is really pitiful, but I am afraid that Qilin's choice is like this, so I may not be able to change anything.
I stood up with a heavy bronze strand ball, and suddenly I thought, taking advantage of the current space where no one can go up to the three-story pavilion, I can open the small door leading to the open-air platform!
I quickly moved over and began to move the bricks that blocked the door half a person high with difficulty, wanting to see the battle situation below from the platform.
The female Qilin stopped paced, and it stopped beside me enthusiastically, and used two front hooves to help me dial the gold bricks down.
Why should we seal this place? At such a height in a fairyland, the scenery should be particularly charming. The Dong prince and his wife on the pattern above their heads can go out, which means there should be nothing shameful outside, right?
Mother Qilin kicked the last brick away, and I opened the door and walked out with anticipation—
A refreshing air came with the unique fragrance of flowers in Penglai. This was really a luxury for me who was frustrated in the closed hut.
But what immediately caught my breath was that a huge blue bird was leaning down on such a wide terrace!
The reason why I can recognize this is a blue bird at a glance is because in addition to its size, it is exactly the same as the blue bird sculpture at the top of the Red Gold Tower, and it also has three claws!
If we talk about three legs, in our ordinary people's impression, they should be like the construction of a tricycle, with one in the middle of the chest and two in the lower part of the abdominal cavity.
However, in such a close observation, I found that its three legs were long upside down, that is, two were side by side under the chest, and one was unique behind the abdominal cavity!
Therefore, I can use the adjective "夜" to describe the posture of blue birds. Ordinary birds cannot do such actions.
If the one leg behind it is changed into two, I don’t think the difference between the way it walks and the reptiles is very different.
However, the monster in front of me is indeed a bird. It has an orange-yellow beak, soft feathers, and its wings shrink on both sides of its body. Overall, it looks a bit similar to a giant crow.
On its back is covered with a colorful cushion, and the four corners are hanging out of gorgeous tassels.
I suddenly felt that it must be a seat cushion prepared for humans, and this big blue bird is the special mount of a big man!
My heart was beating wildly and I could fly freely between the sky with a bird's back? This is the dream of all human beings!
In the pattern above her head, the woman on the terrace was looking up at the sky with a surprised look. I think what she saw must be this big bird!
Then is it... a specimen or a living animal?
I plucked up the courage to walk forward two steps. It was breathing, and I could feel the slow airflow of it. Maybe it was just sleeping. Once someone woke it up, it would spread its wings, break through the layers of fog in Penglai, and fly to the sky that no one had ever reached!
I was shocked. Isn’t this the best way to leave Penglai Island?
This place is below the sea surface that no one can imagine or touch. Without fish gills and flippers, we cannot jump back to the sea from a certain estuary and swim to the outside world like the sea god. The Shark is on the abyss, and it is difficult for us to return to the boat without external force. Besides, the boat is already broken, and even if Wu Jincheng drives it himself, the possibility of escaping from the Sea of Morning Misty is very small.
The best way is to grow a pair of wings like those white peacocks who love to bask in the moonlight, fly out of the abyss, leaps through the ocean, and arrive on the real land of the outside world!
We humans cannot grow wings, and the white peacock is too delicate. The big blue bird in front of us just meets all the conditions for leaving Penglai!
However, as Wang Liang, the twin brother of the mouse, said, there can only be one person away here at a time. Because the bluebird is not an airplane, the little space on its back is only enough to put a seat cushion, which means that if it takes off, it can only carry one person away.
A glimmer of hope that had just ignited in my heart was extinguished again. There were so many people in our heart. If we could only leave one, who would our choice be?
The last time the mouse and the others came here, they killed each other for the only place to escape Penglai. What about us? I think the selfish perverts on the Shark may repeat their mistakes. The people in Donghuang's team should not be like this!
However, everyone wants to continue living well, who would be willing to give this opportunity to others?
In fact, taking advantage of the chaos of the Quiet City now, I can sneak up on the back of the blue bird and fly away.
What are the opium elixirs and the battle for the throne? As long as the blue bird is awakened at this moment, everything has nothing to do with me.
I thought about the mountains and rivers of Xuzhou City, and unconsciously took a big step forward.
Outside the Red Golden Tower, there was a unique shout from the sea god's throat. I knew they had broken through the city wall and attacked the city.
If I leave, it means that the weirdo will be left here. When I think of his stupid look, I feel so sad that I feel so sad.
No, I don’t want to separate from any of them like this!
I have no relatives and no deposits outside, and when I go back, I will become a mediocre and work girl at the bottom. I should give the opportunity to those useful talents.
Master Dong is the boss of the team. He has an important mission of keeping a secret person outside and has not been completed.
Dr. Lin has a mysterious wife outside who needs treatment, Long's heart is still with him, and Gao Xiaoya is also waiting for him.
Even rats who have not quit drug addiction and monsters who have no desires or desires, they are more qualified to leave Penglai than me. I am not a person on the Shark, and I must not be so selfish.
In the mist in the distance, a red flame appeared. I changed direction, walked over the blue bird lightly, stretched my head to see the war between the ocean and the land.
