Chapter 231: Teaching without Discrimination
Accompanied by the sound of the eggshell cracking from the inside out, Chen Jue discovered through sensing that the little life that was originally in a deep sleep was now showing great vitality.
Just like a seedling pushing through the soil and a seed sprouting.
It is like the Pangu in the mythology who was born from the chaos of the egg and created the world with one axe. For the little life in the egg, it is also experiencing the birth of the world at the beginning of the world.
"When seeds germinate and break out of their shells, it's like the birth of a fetus. These are the moments when living things are at their peak of vitality." Having just seen the sprouts on the top of the immortal tree, Chen Jue once again observed the changes in the birds hatching, muttering to himself, as if he had realized something.
“Crack!”
The eggshell on the top was crushed, and a wet, furry little head popped out from inside, making its first cry to the world: "Ying!"
It was a strange baby bird with gray fur all over its body, a scarlet beak, a circle of light red on its cheeks, and a tuft of light goose yellow hair on its head. It looked a bit like a cockatiel on Earth. When it just hatched, it was about the size of an adult domestic cat. After chirping a few times at the outside world, it began to struggle to open its eyes, revealing a pair of dark eyes with a little green halo, and looked at the world curiously.
"It's quite cute, unlike the birds on Earth which are bald when they just hatch." Upon seeing this, Chen Jue felt a little pity.
Just like when ordinary people see a cute pet, they will have a healing and warm feeling, and can't wait to touch it and pet it.
"Bing!"
When the little guy saw Chen Jue, he probably mistook him for his parents at first sight and let out a cry tinged with joy.
Chen Jue felt the emotions of dependence, help-seeking, and hunger from the spiritual magnetic field emanating from it.
"Um?"
"He's just been born, and he has such a strong mental fluctuation?"
"Is it because both parents are extraordinary life forms?" Chen Jue was curious and stretched out a finger to shake the little guy. He found that the liquid in the parrot eggshell also contained a strong innate Qi, which was constantly promoting the development and growth of the little guy.
"Bing!"
Maybe it was because Chen Jue was already a true saint on earth, with the bonus of the [Harmony between Man and Nature] state, he exuded an aura of closeness to nature, which made the newly hatched little parrot feel very close to him.
The little guy rubbed Chen Jue's fingers as if enjoying it, then opened his beak and gulped down the liquid in the eggshell that was like amniotic fluid.
After drinking the liquid in the eggshell, it swallowed the entire eggshell as if it were a biscuit, then fell on its back on the grass with its furry round belly. Probably because it was too full, it tilted its head and whimpered at Chen Jue twice, as if it was asking for a hug.
Chen Jue smiled slightly upon seeing this, and picked up the little guy and held him in his palm. The grey fur felt extremely soft, and the egg liquid that was originally stained on it had been absorbed into the body by some clever method. There was no sticky texture at all, but it was very clean.
In addition, this little guy does not have the strong smell of baby birds or animals. Instead, he has a warm body fragrance, which is obviously caused by the environmental transformation of this strange planet.
"It would be boring to stay alone anyway, so I might as well pick it up and keep it as a companion... What should I name you?" Chen Jue caressed the furry little guy lovingly.
It happened that there was no one to keep me company on this strange planet, so I decided to adopt this little parrot.
Chen Jue: "You can cry as soon as you are born, otherwise I will call you a cry monster?"
The little guy tilted his head in confusion and sent a puzzled mental wave to Chen Jue: "嘤???"
Chen Jue: "I don't like it! Is that called Xiaoying?"
The little guy shook his head: "嘤～>_<|||"
Chen Jue: "How about calling him Little Gray according to the color of his feathers?"
Little guy: "嘤~o_o..."
"Still don't like it? Then change another one..."
Chen Jue felt a little helpless in naming. After thinking for a moment, he thought of the tribe of this little fellow. It was the parrot mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which was considered a bird among the strange beasts. And it met a martial arts saint like him, and they got along very well. So he suddenly had an idea and said, "Give you a single name, let's call you Parrot!"
"Woo! Parrot?" The little guy tilted his head, as if he was not interested in the name . After Mr. Zhangzui whimpered a few times, he followed Chen Jue and made a homophonic sound.
"Yes! Just call you parrot. Since you are still little, I will call you little parrot first." Chen Jue smiled. Although they could not communicate in the same language, the little guy could still feel some emotions from Chen Jue.
"Woo woo!" The little guy called out twice, obviously very satisfied with the name. He struggled to get up from Chen Jue's palm, and using his paws, he carefully jumped along Chen Jue's arm to his shoulder, and rubbed Chen Jue's face with his furry head.
"The little guy treats me as his parent!"
"How about calling daddy twice?" Chen Jue felt itchy on his face and reached out to tease it.
Unexpectedly, the little bird actually opened its beak and shouted, "Da Da! Da Da!"
After shouting twice, the pronunciation of "da da" sounded more and more like the Mandarin "Dad" uttered by Chen Jue. And from the spiritual magnetic field conveyed by the other party, it seemed that he really recognized Chen Jue as his father. Chen Jue could not help but wonder: "Parrot? This little guy has such a high talent when he was born?"
If it was a parrot on Earth, Chen Jue might not feel strange, because the parrot's vocalization is purely a conditioned reflex and mechanical imitation.
This ability to imitate fishy smell is scientifically called mimicry. In addition to parrots, mynah birds and starlings also have similar skills.
But the bird that Chen Jue picked up was not a bird from Earth. It was as big as an adult domestic cat when it was born, and its brain structure was definitely much more developed than that of birds on Earth.
In addition, its parents are extraordinary life forms. Chen Jue suspects that this little guy's IQ and learning ability should be no less than that of an ordinary human baby.
"The saint is good at teaching and there is no distinction between people... the famous parrot... has a destiny with martial arts..." Chen Jue looked at the little parrot standing on his shoulder and actually did not regard it as a pet. Instead, he had a ridiculous idea of taking it in as an apprentice.
He wanted to see if he could use his own method to cultivate the chicks of this strange beast and bird so that they would have human- like thinking and wisdom, just like the great saint Tongtian of the Jiejiao in the ancient legend. No matter the background of his disciples, even if they were "furry and horned, or born from eggs", as long as they had outstanding comprehension and nine orifices, they would be accepted as his disciples for training, and he would only focus on their talents for cultivation.
Chen Jue was already a true saint on earth who had mastered the three religions, and he also had similar thoughts.
However, Chen Jue's idea of taking in the strange beast as his disciple was not entirely out of love. He felt compassion and wanted to find a companion to relieve his loneliness.
The most important point is that Chen Jue became interested in the evolutionary transformation methods of the offspring of these extraordinary beasts.
Especially since this little guy's parents can emit such powerful sonic impacts. If this little guy can inherit the talents of the two extraordinary parrots and learn that kind of sonic impact, he can also observe it closely and improve his own practice by analogy. It can be regarded as a choice that kills two birds with one stone.
"Little parrot, follow me and depend on me from now on!" Chen Jue reached out and stroked the little guy's furry head lovingly.
"Ying!" Unexpectedly, the little fellow was very considerate and responded to Chen Jue with a cheerful cry. At the same time, he stood on his shoulder and without any warning, he pooped a bunch of light yellow excrement. Chen Jue was so angry that his face turned black and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Fuck! (Fuck, fuck)"
