Chapter 209: Horrible Growth, the Mysterious Bird Appears
"This world is so vast, but it's a pity that I haven't seen the beauty of the black bird."
Jiang Changsheng sighed, and when he heard Jiang Che nod, he was also fascinated.
Ye Xundi and others inexplicably thought of the day when Jiang Changsheng suddenly left. Even Ji Wujun felt that there was something fishy about it, but they didn't dare to say it in front of Jiang Che. Since the Taoist Ancestor refused to admit it, how could they go against him?
Jiang Che chatted for a long time before leaving.
After he left, everyone else couldn't help but look at Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng said expressionlessly, "You know nothing, do you understand?"
Everyone nodded quickly, and Ji Wujun's eyes changed when he looked at Jiang Changsheng, filled with awe.
The same thing happened with the World-Destroying Tree last time. Daozu helped the nearby human race solve their problems, but refused to accept the credit. Combined with the fact that he had been practicing in the mountains for a long time, his image in Ji Wujun's heart became extremely tall.
It was the first time she felt such admiration for a man other than her father.
She thought of the prophecy of Wudi Island again.
Emperor Wu will be born in the ocean...
She had been dismissive before, thinking that the martial arts in the ocean were not well developed, so how could a Martial Emperor be born? Even if one was born, he would not have enough time to grow. Within a few hundred years, the demons would surely spread throughout the ocean, leaving no time for the Martial Emperor to grow.
She understands now.
Emperor Wu has grown up, but he is very low-key and no one knows how powerful he is.
Thinking of this, the look she gave Jiang Changsheng changed again.
Bai Qi saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he coughed and asked curiously, "Do you think there are other mythical beasts besides the black bird? Monster beasts, strange beasts, and mythical beasts. It seems that besides humans, not all other creatures are monsters."
Ye Xundi nodded and said, "If that's the case, the human race will have more strategies to implement. Even if they are all monsters, monsters eating monsters is a common occurrence."
Bai Qi agreed with this point and took it very seriously, so this was also the reason why it was willing to follow the human race. In its view, there was no difference between humans and monsters, and they could both be enemies.
Ji Wujun said: "Demon itself is a very general concept. We can only say that the first demon supreme was very strategic. He created the concept of demons, making their power extremely huge, and the human race cannot completely wipe out the demon race."
Everyone started discussing, and Jiang Jian occasionally talked about what he had seen and heard over the years. Only Ping An was still sleeping soundly with Heitian lying on his chest.
Huang Tian was chatting with them with gusto. The personality differences between the two cat demons had already emerged. Huang Tian was the eldest brother, and Hei Tian was his obedient younger brother, who had no opinion of his own and was lazy.
…
In the sixty-first year of Shuntian, when autumn arrived, the legend of the black bird finally spread to Dajing, sparking heated discussions in all states of the world.
Statues of the Xuanniao god were erected one after another, which made Jiang Changsheng very jealous.
He found that the identity of Daozu was far less attractive to believers than that of Xuanniao.
Perhaps this is human nature. It is difficult for people to believe in their own kind. They do not believe in the existence of immortals, but they believe in the existence of gods.
At this moment, Jiang Changsheng looked at his incense value and felt mixed emotions.
[Current incense value: 1,3203,9872]
The incense value exceeds 100 million!
Xuanniao's identity directly doubled his incense value within a year.
This is fucking outrageous!
Moving mountains, calling the wind and rain, bringing the dead back to life, and surviving thunderstorms are not as valuable as the incense value gained by the black bird saving the world.
Moreover, it has only been one year. As the deeds expand, the incense value will only increase faster.
Jiang Changsheng quickly figured it out.
Before, he only saved Dajing, but this time, he saved the entire continent, not limited to a certain dynasty or dynasty, so this incident made people feel that he was protecting the human race.
After all, Daozu is still tied to Dajing. People who are not from Dajing believe in him only because they believe in his incredible abilities.
Forget it, the increase in incense value is a good thing anyway.
Jiang Changsheng's mood became cheerful, and the next breakthrough would definitely be easy.
In the future, when facing the reincarnation of an old friend, he can even be more generous. Of course, he should be generous mainly to the people he cares about.
…
Fengtian Dynasty, inside the imperial palace garden.
The young Emperor Fengtian was reading a book, and a guard knelt beside him and reported the matter of the black bird.
"Xuan Niao? That's a good thing. Having a divine beast protecting the human race can buy more time for the dynasty."
Emperor Fengtian said slowly, but although he said so, he was not moved, as if it was an insignificant matter.
The guards dared not say a word.
Although the new emperor had only been on the throne for a few years, his methods were even more domineering than those of the previous emperor. He withstood the threats from the three great dynasties and secured peace for Fengtian.
In recent years, Fengtian has stopped fighting, and the emperor began to pay attention to the development of martial arts. What he focused on was not the strength of the skills, but the diversity of martial arts. In today's Fengtian, anyone who creates a technique or faction of martial arts can be rewarded heavily, resulting in a prevailing atmosphere of studying martial arts throughout Fengtian.
Even if your realm is low, if you can delve into powerful martial arts, you can also receive the treatment of a martial artist at a high level!
The way of martial arts is never just about realm. There are always geniuses. Even if their realm is low, or they have just stepped into the way of martial arts, their understanding will be highlighted.
Just like this Fengtian emperor, he is also creating his own martial arts.
Emperor Fengtian asked, "Why did the Sword Master disappear recently? What is the situation in the Sword Court?"
The guard replied, "The Sword Master left Fengtian, and his disciples said he went to pursue the way of the sword. The Sword Court is still very peaceful and is actively responding to your majesty's call. The Sword Court can create hundreds of sword techniques a year, which is relatively high among the major sects. After all, they only study sword techniques."
"Well, go down."
The guard immediately saluted and turned to leave.
Emperor Fengtian slowly put down the book, rubbed his brows, and sighed: "It's always a little short, what is it..."
He turned his head and looked towards the west, muttering to himself: "Perhaps I should go out for a while."
…
The sixty-second year of Shuntian.
Jiang Changsheng's incense value has exceeded 200 million, and the growth rate is still increasing.
What made him feel outrageous was that he actually gained the faith of monsters. These monsters could not burn incense, but they would always worship the sky regularly and pray silently to the black bird, which showed that the incense itself also contained telekinesis.
Among the human race, the ultimate worship is expressed through burning incense, which has become a custom, but the demon race does not have this custom.
On this day, Jiang Changsheng prepared to select a demon bird from his demon believers.
He began to carefully feel their voices.
The other side.
In the distant sea lies a continent that is larger than the Dragon Vessel Continent. Smoke wafts out of the mountains and forests, and people line up to burn incense in a small pavilion. Inside the pavilion stands a stone statue of a black bird. Although it is different from the black bird that Jiang Changsheng transformed into, it is still very similar in general.
"When there are difficulties in the world, the black bird will drive away the disaster. Don't worry about life, old age, sickness and death, just hope that everything goes well..."
Next to the stone statue, an old Taoist squinted his eyes, as if he was sleepy, and spoke slowly. With the smoke around him, he seemed so mysterious and wonderful.
Outside the pavilion.
A swallow stood on a branch, tilting its head to look at the stone statue of the black bird.
This swallow is bigger than ordinary swallows, almost as big as a rooster. No one can see it through the leaves.
It was praying to the black bird: "God of birds, please protect me, let me practice smoothly, don't let me be caught by warriors, and keep my mother and brothers and sisters safe..."
Ever since it saw the stone statue of the Xuanniao half a year ago and heard people talk about its deeds, it began to worship the Xuanniao, because the Xuanniao's body shape is quite similar to that of a swallow, but its neck and claws are longer, so it fantasized that it could become a Xuanniao one day.
For this reason, it began to guard here day and night. Whenever there were few people burning incense, or when it was moved by people's prayers, it would deliberately make sounds, pretending to be the appearance of the black bird, to excite and even move those people. This also caused this small pavilion to become more and more famous, attracting more people to come and burn incense.
The news of the mysterious bird's miraculous appearance gradually spread.
It believes that by doing so, it can help those who are in suffering find hope, and also allow more people to believe in Xuanniao.
Although it is a monster, it has no ill will towards humans, because when it was young, it was captured by a warrior and was rescued by an old man, who fed it until the old man died. It then began to wander, but it was separated from its family and could never be found.
It knows that there are good people and bad people, and there are good monsters and bad monsters, so in its heart, humans and monsters are equal.
The sun sets and the moon rises.
The pilgrims went down the mountain, and even the old Taoist priest who built the pavilion went down the mountain to rest.
The little swallow demon flew into the pavilion, landed on the wings of the black bird and prepared to sleep.
This has become its habit. Only when it sleeps leaning against the black bird can its heart be at peace.
The night gradually deepened.
"Little one."
A voice suddenly sounded, and the little swallow demon did not react, thinking it was dreaming. It was not until the voice was repeated several times that it woke up.
It looked up, but there was no one.
"Don't look, you can't see me."
Jiang Changsheng's voice sounded again, and the little Yan Yao was startled and asked carefully, "Xuanniao?"
"Haha , yes, are you comfortable on my wings?"
Hearing this, the little swallow demon was so scared that it immediately flew up, dropping two feathers. It quickly landed in front of the stone statue, crawled on the ground, and imitated the way a human kneeled.
It felt both excited and nervous.
I was excited because the Xuanniao appeared, but I was also worried that I might have offended the Xuanniao.
"Don't be nervous. I heard your voice. You want to become stronger and become a divine beast that brings luck and fortune to humans and monsters, right?"
Jiang Changsheng's voice was gentle, which made Xiao Yanyao's nervousness subside.
It raised its head quickly and said, "Yes, I was captured by a warrior when I was young, but I was also raised by humans. In the years that followed, I was hunted by monsters and warriors. So I want to bring good luck to those creatures bullied by warriors and monsters, and give them the belief to live well."
It was very excited and full of anticipation.
"I can satisfy you, but you need to devote yourself to me and serve me from now on. Are you willing?"
Hearing this, the little Yan Yao became even more excited and said hurriedly: "Of course I am willing. I am willing to serve Master Xuanniao for all my life!"
It also learned the word "adult" from the public, and uses it to refer to people who are higher in status than itself.
