The petrified statue is lifelike, like an art treasure under the craftsman of a skilled craftsman, or like a real human being painted with a layer of gray cement. The statue has slightly closed its eyes, lowered its arms, and its wings span thousands of feet. The passages on the left and right are just a narrow and square space that accommodates its body.

Si Wuya suddenly felt upset.

He shook his head violently, forcing himself to wake up and think rationally.

He looked around and began to search. He carefully searched for the sculpture before and after, but found nothing.

At this time, Jiang Aijian jumped over and saw this huge sculpture, and was so shocked that he couldn't stop talking about it. It was even bigger than seeing those "sexy and charming" swords.

"What is this?"

Jiang Aijian's reaction attracted Huang Shijie. Li Jinyi and the two flew over, jumped to the steps, glanced at them, and were also very amazed. They had never seen such a sculpture, and they could not understand what it was.

The three men cast six eyes on Si Wuya, hoping that he could give an explanation.

Si Wuya, up, down, left and right, observed carefully, shook his head and said, "I said I don't know, do you believe it?"

"Finish." The three of them spoke in unison.

“…”

Overestimate yourself.

Si Wuya sighed and said, "The Chongming Bird on Chongming Mountain should be the habitat of the Chongming Divine Bird."

He still remembered his reaction when he saw the Chongming Bird when he was in the White Tower - no one knew that the Chongming Bird flashed in his eyes when he was looking at him. He saw a painting from that light, a picture of a lonely island floating on the endless sea.

He returned to Tianwu Academy, searching for classics day and night, and even asked someone to search for older books in the Black and White Lotus royal family in order to find some clues.

"Chongming Bird? This stone statue is Chongming Bird?" Jiang Aijian said.

Si Wuya shook his head and said, "No."

"I'll say this is the habitat of Chongming birds, but this is not Chongming birds... Oh yes, this is a human... a birdman." Jiang Aijian said, looking at the stone statue and the wings stretched on both sides.

“…”

Si Wuya was speechless.

Jiang Aijian poked Si Wuya with his elbow and said, "Have you noticed that his wings are a bit like you?"

"Me?" Si Wuya frowned slightly.

"What does the peacock feather look like when used?" Jiang Aijian said.

Huang Shijie quickly scolded: "There is no cover for your mouth, and some jokes cannot be made casually."

"It's okay, Mr. Qi and I have a good relationship." Jiang Aijian stepped forward and hugged his back and said with a smile.

Si Wuya waved his arm and said, "It's indeed a bit like..."

"If this was not the Chongming Bird, but a human, how could humans have wings?" Jiang Aijian said.

Si Wuya talked:

"In ancient times, the distinction between humans and ferocious beasts was not as clear as it is now. In Taixu, there were heroic moves with people facing horses, mermaids with human figures and fish tails, and there were also alien kingdoms with three heads and six arms. After the earth fission, humans split into pieces, leaving unknown lands, and drifting into nine lotuses. The first one appeared was the jade green and trench lotuses, the second one appeared was the moqing lotuses, the third and fourth ones appeared at the same time were the black lotuses and the white lotuses, the fifth and sixth ones appeared red lotuses and purple lotuses, the seventh one appeared golden lotuses, and the eighth yellow lotuses."

"Didn't it appear at the same time?" Jiang Aijian was a little surprised.

Si Wuya shook his head and said, "I just speculate that this is also the reason why I came here."

"Chongming Mountain has been here for tens of thousands of years. What does this have to do with the unknown land and Taixu?" Jiang Aijian asked.

Si Wuya said: "What if... what if Chongming Mountain is also a part of Taixu?"

Jiang Aijian and Huangshi, Li Jinyi and the other two were stunned.

This speculation is too shocking. They don’t know much about the events before the earth’s fission. If Jiulian was formed later, then Chongming Mountain is likely to be a piece that separated and drifted out of the huge land.

Jiang Aijian put away his joking mentality and asked, "Do you have evidence?"

"There is no evidence, it's all just guessing." Si Wuya said.

“…”

The three of them were speechless.

Jiang Aijian flew back and forth in the underground palace again, except for the treasures all over the ground and countless swords, there was nothing unusual.

"Retreat." Si Wuya said.

The three of them retreated.

"You don't think that this place leads to Taixu, do you?" Jiang Aijian said.

Si Wuya glanced at him and said, "I do have this suspicion."

After saying that, he pushed out a palm.

The palm print hit the stone statue, and the stone statue remained motionless.

“It’s quite strong.”

Jiang Aijian drew out the Dragon Roar Sword and slashed it with one sword, bang—

Sparks flew everywhere, and the stone statue was safe and sound, and there was no trace.

"Yeah, so strong, even more powerful than my wilderness-level sword?"

Jiang Aijian was a little unbeliever and stepped forward and slashed again.

Bang!

Safe and sound.

"Okay." Huang Shijie stopped, "If he was really so fragile, he could stay here for tens of thousands of years without any trace of rot?"

After all, stones are stones, and time is the nemesis of all objects.

"What the master said makes sense." Jiang Aijian put away the dragon roar and said, "If this is not the Chongming Bird, what is this?"

Si Wuya said:

"I have seen the Chongming Bird with my own eyes. The Chongming Bird is red all over and is not big in size. If nothing unexpected happens, this stone statue should be the King of Vermilion Bird."

"Surf Bird?"

Huang Shijie said in amazement, "You are very well-read. As far as I know, Suzaku is not a human."

"Change people." Si Wuya said, "The words under the skeleton at the entrance are the Fire God Suzaku."

“…”

call.

A cold wind blew in from the entrance, causing everyone to shudder.

The experienced Huang Zhijie's face changed slightly and he said, "There are practitioners."

The four of them looked outside at the same time...

Da, da, da... da.

At the entrance of the underground palace, Chongmingbird walked in. A thin man was next to Chongmingbird, wearing a black robe.

"Chongming Bird?" Si Wuya frowned.

What comes in is Chongming

After the Chongming Bird entered the underground palace, he looked left and right, and looked at the four humans in front of him with great interest. Then, the thin man next to him said, "Here you come."

Oh my go... Jiang Aijian hurriedly hid behind Li Jinyi.

Intuition told Si Wuya that everything here was wrong.

He looked at Chongmingbird with caution and said, "Did you deliberately attract me?"

The thin man said, "You are very smart."

"What's the purpose?"

"This is Chongming Mountain, the hometown of Chongming Bird. You should understand why." The thin man bowed a little, "I am from Taixu, and I am Taixu's beast master Yang Liansheng."

Si Wuya didn't speak.

Yang Liansheng said: "You are young and may not be clear about many things. I'll answer them."

He paused and said with his hands on his back, "The stone statue behind you is the Suzaku Fire God, Ling Guang."

The four of them took a breath and looked at the stone statue of the Vulcan God again.

Yang Liansheng said again: "One hundred thousand years ago, the earth was fission and the heaven and earth were turbulent. Ling Guang traveled from Taixu, went to the east, and settled in Chongming Mountain."

"Wait." Si Wuya interrupted his words and said, "The earth has fission and there is no Chongming Mountain yet, so how can we say we can stay?"

Yang Liansheng shook his head and said, "The existence of Chongming Mountain was earlier than Jiulian."

Si Wuya was speechless.

He always subconsciously believed that Jiulian and even other places were formed after the fission of the earth, but he did not expect that Chongming Mountain existed before ancient times.

Yang Liansheng looked at Si Wuya and continued:

"Ling Guang was ordered to leave Taixu and look for the lost Taixu seeds. It is suspected that the Chongming clan took it away, and the murderous intentions arise, and the slaughter of Chongming!"
