Lin Shao stood in place for a while.
He watched as one of the cotton-candy-like clouds slowly floated in front of his eyes.
Three heads suddenly popped out of the huge cloud.
They were bird heads.
Lin Shao saw the green crests on their heads tremble, and then he saw them crane their necks to take a look.
Then, they hid back in the cloud and chattered something.
Only then did they fly out one after another.
These three birds had green feathers all over their bodies.
They had three legs.
But they were not as huge as the divine birds that Lin Shao had seen before.
Instead, they were small and exquisite.
They were about the size of sparrows commonly seen in the human world.
They fluttered their wings lightly and flew towards Lin Shao.
But these three green birds went around Lin Shao and continued to fly forward.
They stopped accurately on the West Queen Mother's shoulder, and one of them even rubbed against the West Queen Mother's neck intimately.
The West Queen Mother was also very surprised to see these birds. She said, "Are you living here now?"
The three green birds chirped happily in response.
Lin Shao saw that they were quite familiar with the West Queen Mother, so he asked, "Who are these?"
"Let me introduce you." The West Queen Mother reached out and touched the feathers of a bird. "These are the three green birds that used to follow me. Sometimes, they would help me send messages or something.
Later, when we got separated, I also moved to another place and didn't want to come out again.
I didn't need birds to help me send messages.
But I didn't expect.
The three of them to live in the Intermediate Realm. "
"It's all thanks to you."
The green bird in the middle spoke.
"If it weren't for us serving the West Queen Mother, we wouldn't have the ability to live here."
The West Queen Mother listened to compliments in one ear and out the other. But when she saw these green birds, she seemed to react for a moment. She turned to look at Bi Fang, raised her eyebrows, and said, "With the green birds here, sigh … It seems that we don't need you."
But Bi Fang was not worried about this. He smiled and said, "I knew that these three green birds lived here, and I took the initiative to bring you here. Naturally, I knew that you would meet them soon. I dared to discuss this with the emissary in advance because I knew that there were some things that only I know, and not just anyone can say."
As soon as Bi Fang finished speaking, a low voice sounded from the clouds above.
"Is that so?
I think you're playing tricks again. "
At this moment, Lin Shao saw that the clouds above his head were slowly dyed red. Not long after, a bird landed on the clouds. It was probably the one who spoke just now. The bird first looked down at them, then spread its wings and flew down, landing in front of the Phoenix.
Lin Shao had heard Bi Fang talk about the Four-Eyed Bird before. It looked very similar to the Phoenix, even the color of its feathers was very similar. The only difference was that the Four-Eyed Bird had double pupils, hence its name.
It wasn't only the Four-Eyed Bird that came. The treetops discovered that there were many other birds hiding behind the Four-Eyed Bird and the clouds. They all fluttered their wings and flew down. Moreover, they all stopped at a place slightly lower than the Phoenix. They all had different appearances, colors, and sizes. They all lowered their heads and called out together, "Lord Phoenix."
The scene of a hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenix was very spectacular. Lin Shao could feel the power of the Phoenix from this scene.
However, at the center of this scene, Lord Phoenix was holding Lin Shao's hand and lazily saying, "Alright, alright, there's no need to cause so much trouble." Then, with a smile that wasn't a smile, she asked, "What are all of you gathered here for?"
The Four-Eyed Bird wasn't nervous. He raised his head and replied, "I won't hide it from you. We gathered here because of you."
"Oh?"
"It seems like you still don't know," the Four-Eyed Bird exhaled and said, "The Hongmen have opened."
"What?"
Phoenix's lazy face immediately became serious. She couldn't help but reveal a trace of astonishment, "This can't be because of me, right?"
"This matter isn't entirely up to you, but it has something to do with it. The Hongmen were originally going to open, but because of your awakening, the Hongmen opened earlier. Moreover, the intensity has more than doubled. Everyone ….. actually isn't prepared yet."
Lin Shao listened from outside with a confused expression. He didn't know what they were talking about. However, the current situation was clearly very tense. The so-called "Hongmen" must be something extremely powerful and important. In the end, he still asked Bai Ze, "What are the Hongmen they're talking about?"
Forgive him for thinking of the Hongmen feast when he heard this term.
When Bai Ze heard this, he thought for a moment and explained in a low voice, "Isn't there a saying in the human world called the carp leaping over the dragon gate?
Although it's just a metaphor right now, leaping over the dragon gate does exist. Fish can leap over the dragon gate, but birds also have their own 'dragon gate'. "
At a specific time and place, a golden-red line will appear in the distant horizon. The closer you get to that line, the greater the pressure you will feel. However, as long as you fly high enough, high enough to cross that line, you will be able to obtain the powerful strength bestowed by the heavens.
In the flock of birds, this line is called the Hongmen, also known as the Phoenix Gate.
The appearance of the Hongmen Gate is something that can only be chanced upon by luck. Moreover, it usually only lasts for three days. It has been so many years, and including this time, I have only heard of the Hongmen Gate opening three times. It is extremely rare.
Moreover, a bird only has one chance to leap over the Hongmen in its lifetime. Even if it's lucky enough to encounter the Hongmen opening in its lifetime, it won't have a second chance.
There were only a few birds that succeeded, and they could be counted with one hand. However, there would still be groups of birds that would try every time, even if they had to pay with their lives.
By the way, I'll give you a living example of success. The gorgeously dressed one next to you is the first bird to leap over the Hongmen Gate. She became the first phoenix with a pure bloodline and obtained the power of immortality. "
Lin Shao nodded to show that he understood. Just as he raised his head, he heard the Phoenix say, "Didn't you say that the Hongmen can't be predicted?
How did you know that it was brought forward, or was it because of me that the intensity increased? "
The four-eyed bird explained, "Although it can't be predicted, after all, no one can understand the thoughts of the heavens. However, I just happened to be nearby when the Hongmen opened twice. Although I didn't succeed, based on my own experience, I thought about it carefully. Before the Hongmen appeared, there were some signs.
A while ago, we already discovered these signs. According to the memories of a few birds that experienced the Hongmen, all of the characteristics were very consistent. From this, we gradually determined the approximate time and area.
However, a few days ago, for some reason, the signs that we had been watching suddenly changed. According to the time of the change, at that time, only your awakening could cause such a big change. "
After hearing this, the Phoenix's expression was very interesting. Although he didn't care about anything other than Lin Shao, he still knew the severity of the matter. He knew that this was the most important of the important matters and couldn't be joked about.
"You, bring me to see."
Phoenix furrowed his brows and said to the four-eyed bird, "This matter, I want to personally confirm."
The four-eyed bird obeyed and took off. The large group of birds following behind him naturally followed him and the Phoenix.
Lin Shao followed behind and tried to find the love-winged bird's figure behind the flock of birds, but he couldn't find it.
However, perhaps there were too many and too many birds in the flock. The love-winged bird's body was small and was covered by some of the larger birds.
Bi Fang followed beside Lin Shao and said in a low voice, "Envoy, didn't you always want to know what I asked of you?
Since the choice has been made, then I might as well say it directly. It is the matter of the Hongmen. "
Lin Shao glanced at him and said, "Are you trying to cheat?"
