Chapter 596 65. Jingwei
People in Dongyi have believed in the sacred bird for generations.
It has been decades since Xuan Xiao brought his followers to this strange and ancient land.
There are more than 20 huge ethnic groups, such as Fengniao, Xuanniao, Bozhao, Qingniao, Danniao, Zhuhong, Yujiu, Falconjiu, Shuangjiu, etc., among which ten categories There are eight people with phoenix as their totem.
The Fenghong clan used to be the most powerful among them, but no longer. The current leader of Dongyi is named the Jintian clan.
When Xuan Xiao became the lord of the Jintian Kingdom and the news of the Jintian clan spread to Xuanyuan City, an elderly father finally laughed from the bottom of his heart. His comfortable laughter echoed in the central palace, and all the creatures in the palace were Infected by this smile.
This distant eastern land welcomed a powerful ruler, the Jin Tian clan, and the name Xuan Xiao became a rarely mentioned past.
While touring the territory one day, Jin Tianshi met the Jingwei bird holding a stone in its mouth to fill the sea on the bank of the East China Sea.
Jingwei told him that the demons in the sea were causing trouble, and the scales in the sea that had been dormant for thousands of years began to move strangely. During these days, there were continuous rainstorms and thunder in the depths of the sea, and in the depths of extremely low thunderclouds, the shadow of a dragon was entrenched. Fishermen dare not go out to fish, and their livelihoods are lost. People say that there are heavy rains in the sea, but not a drop of rain falls on the earth. The earth and the ocean no longer welcome them, and the sky is a place that humans cannot touch. It seems that there is no way to survive in the huge world. Is God going to punish them?
Jingwei then asked Jin Tianshi: "Is God going to punish these innocent people?"
Jin Tianshi shook his head and replied: "It's not God who wants to punish them, it's the demons who are causing trouble. As long as we surrender those demons, people can live in peace and stability."
Jingwei got the answer and flew away. She was the daughter of Emperor Yan and no demon could harm her.
Jin Tianshi returned to his palace. He summoned the warriors from the tribe and asked these warriors to work with him to subdue the demons in the sea. It's not easy because humans are not designed to stay in sea water. Emperor Wa used soil and water to shape the human body. If the human body was immersed in water for a long time, the human body would become swollen and loose "mud" due to the imbalance of soil and water.
But the Dongyi countries are not afraid of the ocean.
It's not because they can swim freely like mermaids, but because they have wings.
On that day, the people of Dongyi could see the sun rising in the sky, which was the light brought by the divine bird spreading its wings. Large and small blazing lights rise straight into the sky, and then run towards the East China Sea. When you look up, you can see the flying trajectory of the divine bird.
Colorful clouds and morning glow pave the way for the expeditions of the Dongyi countries. On the other side, the black sea water rolls, telling the horror of demons.
Jingwei flew up, holding a branch from the Western Mountain in his mouth and gave it to Jin Tianshi, which symbolized the protection of the Western Mountain.
Jingwei watched Jin Tianshi go away, then lowered her height and landed in the hands of a dragon king wearing a golden and green feather coat. What she gave to Jin Tianshi was a branch, which represented victory. She spit out stones from her mouth at this moment. Represents health.
She said to the dragon king: "I can only wander between the East China Sea and the West Mountain and cannot see my father. Please give this stone to him, which can eliminate illness and turbidity."
Long Jun said: "This stone can protect the peace of ordinary people, but it cannot protect Shennong."
Jingwei was very anxious and asked: "What can protect my father?"
Long Jun said: "Shennong protects the human race, and the human race can also protect Shennong. It is not Shennong who becomes the emperor, but people who want Shennong to become the emperor. If you want to protect the health and safety of Shennong, you must first quell the disasters and dangers of the human race."
Jingwei found that he could not understand this, so he said in frustration: "What can I do?"
Lord Long comforted her and said: "Go back to the Western Mountains and build a nest with branches and stones. Then live like this and never return to the East China Sea."
Jingwei was confused and asked: "Will this make my father healthy and happy?"
Long Jun affirmed: "Yes."
After saying that, Lord Long raised his hand and let Jingwei fly. Sure enough, after a few days, there was no sign of Jingwei in the East China Sea. The busy little shadow settled in the West Mountain and never returned to the East China Sea.
Long Jun stayed in the East China Sea for a few days and saw huge scale beast corpses floating in the sea. Fragments of limbs and spiritual blood washed up on the coast along with the flow of sea water. These partial corpses from demons can drive people crazy. The blazing light of Dongyi's divine bird can melt seawater and kill giant beasts, but the birds in the sky do not pay attention to man's greed for power.
Lord Long arranged a spell to project the images of stars into the sea water. In an instant, the light blue sea water became dark, like an impassable abyss. The remaining fragments from the depths of the East China Sea were captured by this spell and fell into the deep.
The sea water along the East China Sea stopped flowing, as if an arc was drawn in the sky, dividing the two worlds.
After doing this, Lord Long left.
Not long after, Jin Tianshi returned to the tribe in victory, and the light of the divine bird illuminated the faces of everyone on the way. Jin Tianshi brought back a white dragon, which was the culprit of the rebellion.
In the Kingdom of Jintian, the Jintian clan executed the white dragon in public, distributed the essence of the white dragon to the people in the city, and cast a spell to make each scale of the white dragon peel off on its own, so that it could not be harmed by the turmoil of the scaled beast. It will bring good luck and protection to those who are suffering.
As for the severed dragon head, Jin Tianshi hung it at the top of the hall to frighten the demons in the East China Sea.
After the chaos in the East China Sea ended, the arc that divided the land and the ocean quietly disappeared. People once again entered into an orderly life, and few people paid attention to it anymore.
…………
To the east of the Western Mountain, the sun rises and the Jingwei build their nests on the cliffs, their feathers reflecting the sun's light.
Her wings were fluttering and she was a little anxious. It was obvious that she was not comfortable with the stable life of traveling back and forth between the East China Sea and the West Mountains.
During these days, Jingwei was afraid that the Dragon Lord would deceive her, and asked the spirits in the Western Mountains to go to the world to find out about Yan Emperor Shennong. She was very aware of her father's physical condition, so she was afraid that one day she would hear Emperor Yan's obituary.
Since she drowned in Donghai and turned into Jingwei, she only saw her father once when Emperor Yan conquered the scale beasts in Donghai, and never had the chance again.
The tall trees under the cliff trembled. Jingwei saw the spirit he had sent to the world to inquire about the world. He showed a joyful expression and flew down from the cliff. When he got closer, he was stunned. He even forgot to flap his wings and landed on a branch. The branches were light. Shaking, a few yellow leaves fell.
Behind the monster was a tall figure.
Maybe he is not tall, but rather very haggard. The so-called tallness is compared to that little spirit.
The person who came had the head of an ox and the human body was still wearing the same rough cloth knitted by his mother.
It was the rising sun, and the man was walking from the mountain road to the east. The shadow cast on him was lengthened, just covering the trees where Jingwei had fallen.
Jingwei shook his head gently.
He is tall as before.
Jingwei flew out and flew into Shennong's open arms. Under the withered and dying body, Shennong embraced his daughter. Just as the dragon said, he gained unprecedented peace.
I’m a little exhausted. I’m trying a new way of writing. I don’t know how I feel about reading.
