Chapter 57 Gu Eagle
It is not romantic to watch the sunrise on a high tower, because our whole body is wet with morning dew and there are signs of freezing. Japan's climate is greatly affected by the ocean and tends to be wet. It is early summer. It is not only cold but also humid in such a high place.
The only thing that comforted me was that nothing happened last night, neither the plane crashed nor the asteroids came to Earth. I think the beast of doom could not stand this environment and left for the time being.
"The food cannot be eaten." Murong Shui complained, "I will never go to such a high place again, it will not be fun at all."
The cooked food and drinks bought by Murong Shui have become hard and hard, not only difficult to chew, but also no longer have the original delicious taste, which makes Miss Murong, who has high requirements for quality of life, very dissatisfied.
"Or you go down first, I'll stay here until dark to see the situation." I persuaded.
"Okay, I'll go and report my safety to Jingzi, so that the little girl who won't worry." Murong Shui agreed, "Remember not to go down casually, I'll come to see you at noon."
After Murong Shui left, I stood alone on the tower. I had excellent eyesight and could see objects far away, mountains in the distance, flowers blooming on the mountain, trams coming and going, and dense crowds. From this perspective, the things on the ground became extremely small. The whole world was like a toy, which gave me the urge to fiddle with it, or control it.
This is a very strong emotion, but it is very bad for me. I am just an otaku who is content with the status quo, not a hero who changes the world, so this must not be my emotion, but the monster attached to me. Has the fusion turned from the body to consciousness?
I instinctively resist this change, but some things are not transferred by your subjective will. One day in the future I will become a monster, just like now, looking at the ants-like human beings below, enjoying the satisfaction brought by their power.
Just as I was feeling emotion, a clear bird song rang out on my head, and a giant bird of prey rushed towards me. I hurriedly rolled on the ground to avoid the attack. Did the bad luck begin again?
This raptor, who was not sure whether it was an eagle or an eagle, stood on the side of the tower with its claws, staring at me with deep eyes, and I was also looking at it. We looked at it in this small space, and carefully saw that there were long horns on its head, the black feathers were smooth and neat, and the body was huge, which was larger than the birds I saw on TV, but I just didn't know what it wanted to do.
Do you eat me? Or...
I saw the unopened food left by Murong Shui, so I opened a bag with a try-and-see attitude. It was filled with sashimi. I gently placed the fish fillet in front of it. Unexpectedly, it pecked with its beak. I opened another bag of fried chicken nuggets, and it accepted it happily. It was not until it finished all the food that it flapped its giant wings and flew towards the distance.
This made me feel relieved. It turned out to be a foraging animal. Fortunately, the Murong Water did not eat the food, otherwise this raptor would probably have used me to satisfy my hunger. However, from its spiritual eyes, it did not look like an ordinary animal, and it would not be a monster. I couldn't help but start to recall the "Shan Hai Jing".
"There are no plants and trees on the mountain in Luwu, and there are many metals and stones. The water of Ze Geng comes out and flows southward into Pangshui. There are beasts in the water, called Gu Diao. Its shape is like a carving and has horns, and its sound is like a baby's sound, which is a cannibal."
Gu Diao, in theory, should be a monster living in the water, and it seems that the "Shan Hai Jing" cannot be fully believed.
In just one month, I encountered several monsters. Is it really going to the end of the world? Or was it because I was too homeless before.
I continued to wait for Murong Shui to arrive. After almost two hours, Murong Shui did not come, but the Gu Diao brother flew back again, holding a red fruit in his mouth. It stopped on the tower, put the red fruit on the ground, nodded to me, and then flew away naturally.
Looking at the bright red fruit in front of me, I was a little confused about the situation. Could this be the legendary immortal fruit, and you can live forever after eating it? This is very similar to the plot in the novel.
I picked up the fruit and smelled it. It really smelled like a scent. But I was a little hesitant. Not everything could be eaten. As an ordinary otakus living in China, the poor food quality problem in China has made me pay special attention to the safety of food. If I eat it badly, no one will take care of you. I should be more cautious about foods of unknown origin.
Besides, it is not certain whether this kind of fruit is suitable for monsters to eat. Some foods are allergic to people with special physiques. Let’s wait until Murong Shui comes. She is knowledgeable and should know what this is.
At noon, Murong Shui came slowly and brought a pack of food. It was strange that we climbed up and down like this and did not attract the attention of the security guards below. Haven't they ever thought that someone would climb this tower with bare hands?
"Look at what this is?" I asked.
"Hey, are you making this thing there? This is Zhu Guo." Murong Shui said casually.
"Burple fruit? Is it the kind of immortal fruit that blooms every few hundred years and can increase cultivation for hundreds of years and prolong life?" I said excitedly.
"You're thinking too much. That's a scam in the novel. This kind of thing has a certain effect on ordinary people. It can make people sharp-eyed and strong, and has little effect on us. Just eat it as a calcium tablet. In fact, it's a variant of persimmons." Murong Shui introduced, "It seems that I haven't heard of the place where vermilion fruit is grown in Tokyo. It didn't fall from the sky, right?"
"It was given to me by a monster." I said honestly.
"You really think that you are the Queen Mother of the West, and you have to bring the blue birds to eat." Murong Shui teased, "I know there is a place in Japan that plant vermilion fruits. It is the location of the Liuyun Sword Sect in Wakayama, which is very far away from here."
The Queen Mother of the West mentioned by Murong Shui is a mythical figure. It is said that she lives in Kunlun Mountain, and she eats and conveys information by a divine beast called the Blue Bird.
"Liuyun Sword Sect?"
"Yes, that's a very ancient sword sect. Its founder also came from Kunlun. It was very famous in the Warring States Period in Japan. However, this sword sect advocated seclusion and had not seen their successors come out for a long time." Murong Shui explained, "It is said that they can fly with swords, just like..."
Murong Shui stopped and looked straight into the distance. I followed her gaze and saw a sharp sword flying from a distance. On the sword was a little girl in a kimono standing.
