The Birds Keep Ringing Chapter 17
byChapter 17: Confrontation with the Confucian Confucians. As for Zhen’er’s eloquence, follow me.
“You…” Yun Zhen opened his mouth, but couldn’t speak.
The fact that Jiang Zhi was a cat demon did not frighten him, but instead gave him a sense of relief.
No wonder Jiang Zhike defeated him.
This is not metaphysics, it is not the law of heaven that “rivers stop flowing, clouds disappear and rain disperses”, nor is the five elements and eight characters in conflict, but the simplest and crudest law of the food chain.
The senior sister’s conclusion is correct, but she complicates her arguments. This world is actually not profound at all.
Jiang Zhi defeated him not because his name was Jiang Zhi, but because he was a cat.
And Yunzhen himself was a bird some time ago.
In the eyes of a cat, it is a walking buffet, a lively temptation.
Cats defeat birds, as it should be.
Yunzhen suddenly figured out a lot of things.
Why does Jiang Zhi never make any sound when he walks?Can he always appear behind his back without anyone noticing, scaring people half to death?This is not some light skill, this is the talent of cats.
Why is Jiang Zhi’s clothes always spotless and why is his hair always neatly combed?That’s not a noble demeanor, it’s called mysophobia, and cats all have mysophobia.
Why doesn’t Jiang Zhi like to talk?Because cats don’t like to meow.
The more Yunzhen thought about it, the more he felt that all the doubts were connected, including Jiang Zhi’s attitude towards him.
At first, Jiang Zhi was always cold and cold, and Yun Zhen thought it was because his aloof second senior brother thought he was noisy.Thinking about it now, Jiang Zhi probably spent his whole life’s willpower to restrain his primitive impulses that originated from the depths of his blood.
He could even imagine Jiang Zhi’s inner monologue: Don’t eat the little junior brother, don’t eat the little junior brother. Although the little junior brother looks meaty and delicious, he is a human being and it will be troublesome if he eats it.Hold it in.
…
Yunzhen suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness. He looked around, seeing a vixen, a cat demon, and a relative of the emperor.
He, an ordinary person, seems to be the only alien in this room.
What did his master think?
Could it be that accepting him as a disciple was to respond to the imperial court’s call for “harmony between man and nature” and to conduct a pilot project on species diversity?No wonder the eldest brother said that their sect used to be called “The Broken Sect”.Now it seems that this name is really appropriate. I pick up all the junk.
“How dare you come back.”
Lu Feng’s gentle mask was finally torn off, replaced by a kind of undisguised disgust and cruelty, “It was my uncle’s negligence that I didn’t train with you, a scoundrel like you.”
“You haven’t inherited much of your mother’s spirituality, but you have retained a lot of your animal nature.” Lu Feng marveled, “A monster that’s half human and half demon, no wonder it’s a murderous thing.”
Half of the demon blood…
That refined cat demon…
A terrible truth emerges.
“That pill,” Yunzhen heard his voice trembling, “who took it?”
Lu Feng glanced at him with pity. This look made Yun Zhen’s heart sink to the bottom.
Lu Ting, Jiang Zhi’s biological father, refined the cat demon into an elixir.Then, he took the pill.
Revenge for killing one’s father and taking away one’s wife are commonplace. Drinking the blood of one’s enemy to increase one’s power is also a routine operation.But the Lu family is obviously more creative and has no bottom line.
This is no longer a grudge in the martial arts world, it has seriously exceeded the scope of ethics.No wonder Lu Ting’s eyes turned golden. It turned out that he ate the demon pill and gained the power of the demon.
“You fart!”
Yun Zhen couldn’t bear it anymore and rushed to Jiang Zhi to face Lu Feng.
He had seen this action in Chapter 3, Page 7 of “The Sword Master’s Escaped Little Wife”. In the storybook, the protagonist always protects the heroine in this way, which looks particularly heroic and makes people feel safe.
Although the object of protection is now a second senior brother who is taller than him, has better martial arts than him, and has a different species, this does not prevent him from assuming this pose.
If the posture is right, the momentum will be there.As for whether the strength is enough, that is another matter.
“You Lu family are the monsters!” Yun Zhen was trembling with anger, his eyes were red, he was holding his neck, and his voice was hoarse from shouting, “In order to refine some bullshit elixir, you threw living people…living monsters…just living things into the furnace! You beasts, no, beasts are better than you! All beasts know not to kill their own wives!”
Lu Feng looked at his impassioned speech and suddenly smiled.
“The love is deep.” He marveled, “Little Bird, you are very protective of him. Do you know how many people he has killed? When those people died, there were holes in their necks and they were bitten to death. I just don’t know…”
Lu Feng smiled even brighter: “Are you afraid that he will eat you?”
Yun Zhen blushed: “Who is so deeply in love! I just… I just can’t see you, a hypocrite, pretending to be here!”
Of course he knew that cats eat birds.
During the days when he turned into a bird, he worried about this problem every day. At night, he dreamed that he had become cat food.
But his second senior brother not only didn’t eat him, but also fed him millet, bathed him, and even took him shopping for clothes, even though the ones he bought were red, which he hated the most.
This is enough to prove that Jiang Zhi has overcome the bad nature of his race and evolved into a high-level cat with morals, bottom line, and freedom from vulgar taste.
“Second senior brother.”
Yun Zhen didn’t look back. He stared at Lu Feng and said in a tone that he thought was very reliable: “Don’t be afraid… Although I can’t defeat him, I am still auspicious! I… I will protect you!”
It’s written like this in the storybook. At the most critical moment, the protagonist’s ancient power will burst out and kill all the villains in one move.
Yun Zhen is not sure if he has the power of prehistoric times, but what if he does?Even if he didn’t, his mouth could still make a lot of noise.
“Heh.”
A chuckle came from Yunzhen’s shoulder.
The snow-white fox jumped back at some point. It licked its paws and swept the side of Yunzhen’s face with the tip of its tail.
“Second Junior Brother,” Xiao Fenzhi said lazily, “did you hear that? Junior Brother said that he wanted to protect you. If you continue to stand there in a daze like this, you are really sorry for his feelings. Maybe he will secretly cry at night.”
Yun Zhen became angry with embarrassment: “Elder brother!”
The fox blinked innocently, “I’m just trying to cheer you up, little junior brother. What you said just now is so good and very manly. Although it’s useless, it sounds quite touching.”
“…” Yun Zhen felt that sooner or later he would be angered to death by this vixen.
Lu Feng clapped his hands coldly, “Since you are brothers and sisters, let’s go on the road together so that we don’t have to worry about you on the way to hell.”
As soon as he finished speaking, several guards behind him drew their swords at the same time and attacked Jiang Zhi.They cooperated tacitly, and at first glance they were inner disciples of the Lu family.
Before Yun Zhen could react, his wrist was grabbed by a force and pulled behind Jiang Zhi.
The alchemy room was not big, but several people attacked at the same time, with swords and swords almost blocking all escape routes.Yunzhen was protected from behind and could only see Jiang Zhi’s back.
The back was as tall and straight as a pine tree, and the black clothes rustled in the sword wind.
Soon Yunzhen discovered that something was wrong with Jiang Zhi.
Although he hasn’t mastered any serious Kung Fu, he can even practice the Jump Kung Fu.But if anyone knows the swordsmanship best, it must be Jiang Zhi. After all, he pestered Jiang Zhi every day before and learned more or less one move or two.
Although Jiang Zhi’s movements were still so fast, they were obviously a little chaotic and not as calm and organized as usual.His sword was no longer a sword, but more like a claw, and all the slashing and piercing turned into tearing and scratching, with animal instincts.
Even when dodging a person’s attack, he was attracted by a red tassel on the opponent’s sword, and subconsciously swung the sword there.
“Second Senior Brother!” Yun Zhen was shocked, “Calm down! That’s not a cat-teasing stick!”
“…”
Lu Feng held the sword, as if watching a good show, “He is almost out of control, and the demon blood is backlashing him. After a while, he will completely turn into a beast that only knows killing. By then, he will kill everyone here…”
Lu Feng smiled maliciously: “Little Bird, including you, do you think he will bite your neck off first or take out your heart first? I’m very curious.”
“Shut up!” Yun Zhen grabbed the stick on the ground and threw it at Lu Feng.
The wooden stick was split into two pieces in the air by Lu Feng’s sword.
Yun Zhen was desperate. He turned around and shouted to the furry white figure behind him: “Elder brother! You can help me!”
The white fox was squatting on the alchemy furnace, yawning and licking its paws slowly.
“Little junior brother, it’s not that senior brother doesn’t help.” It said helplessly, “It’s that senior brother doesn’t have the strength now.”
It takes too much to transform back into a human form. I was restrained by a spell for a long time just now, but now I’m awake. It’s good.What’s more, there’s nothing elegant about fighting and killing.
“What should we do?!”
“Don’t worry,” said the fox, “Master should be here soon.”
“Master?” Yun Zhen almost cried, “We will all be cold when he comes!”
Jiang Zhi forced the two men back with one strike of his sword, but his left arm also received a new wound.He was like a beast forced into a desperate situation, desperately trying to tear apart everything in front of him.
“Elder brother!” Yunzhen shouted nervously.
“Stop barking, stop barking.” Xiao Fenzhi sighed, “Really, who asked me to pamper you, senior brother?”
The fox jumped down from the alchemy furnace, and the moment he landed, the surrounding scene began to distort.
A faint aroma filled the air. The aroma was very special, like musk, with a bit of rotten sweetness.
The guard at the front suddenly stopped and looked at his companions in horror.In his field of vision, his companion’s face turned into a green-faced and fanged evil spirit, rushing towards him.
“Monster!”
The guard yelled, raised his knife and slashed at his companion.
“Are you crazy?!”
The guard who was chopped cursed, raised his sword to block, and the two immediately fought.
There was chaos in the alchemy room instantly, and each of them saw a different scene. Some saw evil spirits, some saw monsters, and some saw enemies who had been dead for many years.
Illusion!
Lu Feng stood behind and watched coldly. He narrowed his eyes, looked at the snow-white fox in the corner, and sneered: “It’s a small trick.”
He rushed forward with his sword in hand.
Xiao Fenzhi wanted to avoid it, but his body was too weak.As soon as he moved, he felt like the world was spinning and he almost fell off the stove.
“Boom──”
The door to the alchemy room was kicked open by someone from the outside, and a shocking noise poured in.
“Monster! Where is the monster!”
“Protect Mr. Lu!”
“Oh my god! What kind of fire is that! How evil!”
“Quick! Don’t let the monster escape!”
A dark crowd of martial arts people poured in.They held torches and swords, their faces burned brightly in the firelight, and a cluster of flames burned in each of their eyes.
They happened to see Jiang Zhi pierce the guard’s chest with his sword and slowly draw out the sword.The golden vertical pupils were looming under the firelight, and with the blood on his face, he looked like he had just crawled out of hell.
This picture looks like a monster doing evil.
Lu Feng staggered back two steps, clutched his chest, and pointed at Jiang Zhi and Xiao Fengzhi with a look of sorrow and anger: “Liu Yun Sect! Liu Yun Sect is a nest of monsters!”
He burst into tears: “This fox demon and this cat demon sneaked into the stronghold of our Lu family, and I fought them to the death to survive until you all came forward!”
After saying that, he actually vomited a mouthful of blood and looked seriously injured.
Yun Zhen was stunned.
This acting skill and these lines are enough to be the leading role in a theater troupe.
Everyone gasped.
Demon?!
They looked at Jiang Zhi and the fox in confusion.Jiang Zhi’s unusual eye color seemed to confirm Lu Feng’s words.
“Master Lu! Let me help you!”
“I just said that the Liuyun Sect people look weird!”
“Burn them to death! Eliminate harm to the martial arts world!”
“Quick! Don’t let them escape!”
The crowd was excited and filled with righteous indignation.Everyone drew their swords and approached step by step, like hunters stalking wild beasts.
The fire in their eyes was still burning, a flame more terrifying than a will-o’-the-wisp in a furnace.
The master squeezed in the crowd and kept shaking his head: “Oh, the world is declining, and evildoers are running rampant. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, I have been in the world for decades, and I actually misjudged the evil and accepted the evildoer as my disciple.”
He burst into tears when he spoke, and almost knelt down and kowtowed to apologize on the spot.
“I…I am ashamed of the martial arts world! I am ashamed of my ancestors! I…I will clean up the family right now!”
The martial arts people drew their swords one after another and approached step by step.
Jiang Zhi protected Yun Zhen even tighter. He looked around, with only an indifferent calm in his eyes.
He didn’t care what these people thought of him, didn’t care how they scolded him, didn’t care if they wanted to kill him.
He only cares about…
He looked at Yunzhen beside him.
Yunzhen is also looking at him.
Amid all the curses, Yun Zhen smiled.He grabbed Jiang Zhi’s hand. It was cold and stained with blood, but he held it tightly.
“Second Senior Brother,” Yunzhen said, “They said they would burn you to death.”
Jiang Zhi said nothing and only held his hand in return.
“Are you afraid?”
Jiang Zhi shook his head.
“I’m not afraid either.” Yun Zhen took a deep breath, his eyes that were usually smiling were firm at the moment.
He shook off Jiang Zhi’s hand and jumped onto the table next to him.
“That’s right!”
Yunzhen used all his strength to shout to everyone: “One of them is a vixen and the other is a cat demon! But so what? You guys usually call yourself heroes and shout to kill demons when they see them. Why don’t you ask yourself first, are we more demons than demons? Lu Feng said we are monster nest xue? It’s the Lu family! You have all been deceived by him!”
His voice echoed in the alchemy room, shocking everyone.
He pointed at Lu Feng, “Do you think the Lu family collects spiritual beasts from all over the world to open a zoo? They do it to burn them alive to make elixirs!”
Yunzhen pointed at himself, “I am the magical bird you saw during the day! They didn’t even let me go! I was almost trained into a pill! Evidence! Evidence…”
Yun Zhen wanted to take out the alchemy book. After digging for a long time, he finally took out a small book with a dark red cover.
He held it up high: “This broken book is the evidence! It is clearly written on it!”
Silence fell.
The people in the audience who were about to shout and kill suddenly fell silent.A few sharp-eyed people even squeezed forward.
Yun Zhen stretched out his hand and took a closer look, only to see four big characters on the cover: “龙飞飞风五” –
“The Secret Play of Spring Night”.
“…”
“Wrong one!” Yun Zhen blushed, quickly stuffed the book back, and took out another crumpled booklet, “It’s this one! “The Quick Method for Ascension in Ten Days”! Look, it says here, take a civet cat and put it in the furnace…”
“Nonsense!” Lu Feng sneered, “Do you think that just making up a story can clear your Liuyun Sect of colluding with monsters to harm people?”
Yun Zhen laughed angrily, “Okay, then let me ask you, where are all the spiritual beasts in your backyard? Why are there only young ones but no old ones?”
Lu Feng’s face darkened.
Yunzhen continued: “Also, why do you need so many guards to guard the door of your alchemy room? Why do you put so many charms on it? What do you want to suppress?”
“You…”
“I haven’t finished speaking yet!” Yunzhen interrupted him, “You said that my second senior brother is a monster and that he has a murderous nature. Then let me ask you, why did he become like this? You made his mother into a pill. If this kind of thing happened to you, wouldn’t you go crazy?”
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Lu Feng’s face turned pale: “That’s nonsense!”
Some strange sounds came from outside the kicked-open door of the alchemy room.
The crowd parted automatically, making way for the middle of the road.
Everyone stopped moving.
Because what came in from the door was not a human, but a beast.
All the spiritual beasts in Lu Feng’s yard came running.
The leader was the senior sister. The red fox from before also limped in. It glared at Lu Feng viciously and then jumped next to Xiao Fenzhi.
Everyone looked at this group of defeated soldiers who suddenly broke in.
Yun Zhen suddenly became enlightened and immediately counterattacked: “Did you see that? Even the spirit beasts know that cats and foxes are good people! This is called a lot of help for the good, but few help for the unjust! Why did the spirit beasts choose us? Because the Lu family are bad guys, and we are good guys! No, they are good people! Lu Feng, these spirit beasts are here to settle a score with you.”
The master stroked his beard happily: “Zhen’er’s eloquence is as good as mine.”
The author has something to say:
———————–
Second Senior Brother: I really don’t want to eat Junior Brother.
Senior Brother: But your eyes are really similar.
Senior Sister: Agreed.
Junior Brother: Eat?What to eat?Let me eat!
