157. Falling Feather Blessing
Luther remembers clearly the legend of the Phoenix King and the Twin Towers of Yuanzhu City. The battle between humans three hundred years ago burned down the Bell Tower where the Phoenix King had been living. This incident destroyed the bond between humans and the Phoenix King.
Before leaving the scorched tower, she used her own power to resurrect the three elves who died in the fire, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou. These three are the most familiar Three Holy Beasts.
And because humans were afraid of this power that could control life and resurrect the dead, they once again used violence to attack the three holy beasts.
The Phoenix King, who no longer trusted humans, never returned to the Bell Tower in Yuanzhu City, even though the people of Yuanzhu City had repented and built a new Bell Tower next to the Burnt Tower.
Coincidentally, Luther looked up this period of history on the Internet, and the people in Yuanzhu City still said that Phoenix King no longer likes humans and is unwilling to show up. However, in fact, Xiaozhi has met Phoenix King several times.
He even told the people in Yuanzhu City about his experience, but the general thought of the people in Yuanzhu City was that Xiaozhi was lying.
There is a saying that the Phoenix King will only appear in front of upright trainers. It seems that the debt Enzhu Shi has to repay is far from enough. At least it is not as simple as building a tower to say that he has atoneed for his sins and repented.
Luther didn't expect to hear a longer myth about the Phoenix King here. This myth seemed to have happened in a more distant era, and at that time, the Phoenix King, who still had full confidence in mankind, saved this barren land.
After the legend of the Phoenix King, flying elves gathered together to warn the town about falling feathers, Luther could only sigh that this land must have given birth to a group of kind-hearted people.
If there is a cause, there must be an effect. If the people in this land were like the people in Yuanzhu City three hundred years ago, that life-saving feather would not fall.
If they didn't coexist harmoniously with the flying elves in the canyon, it would be difficult for them to survive that winter.
Luther didn't believe in myths before, but now he feels the longing truth, goodness and beauty in myths. This is the most primitive feeling.
Because of the handful of feathers, the doctor made Mai and Luther look a lot better. He just sighed that Jucaoye was so stubborn that he actually followed them all the way.
"Excuse me, what is the last big show of the Falling Feather Festival?"
Just now, Luther heard Tatsuya discussing with the townspeople and asked him. He smiled slightly mysteriously and said that he would know by midnight.
The doctor pointed to the feather in Mai's hand: "At midnight, the flying elves in the town will take off together and hover over the town. Finally, they will take turns passing over the town and fly by the people they want to bless.
, and let go of one’s feathers.”
"After that, those who can withstand the severe cold will return to the caves in the canyon to rest. Those who feel that they cannot withstand the severe cold will migrate to warmer places in the south and return next year. Some will choose to live in the towns built by the townspeople.
In the hut.”
Rather than saying this is a blessing ceremony, it is better to say that it is a spiritual bond that the flying elves have built with the people of this land for thousands of years, and both parties have integrated this bond into their blood.
Although this kind of ceremony has gradually been replaced by more cheerful and entertaining methods, it is no longer a cumbersome sacrifice, but a joyful celebration. The form has changed, but the core has not changed. Both parties still value this process.
Jucaoye was lying in a stroller that was similar to a stroller and was brought out by the doctor. He was covered with a blanket and slept soundly. He didn't know what he was dreaming about, and the leaves on his head were shaking a little.
The condition is not serious. After taking medicine and resting for a day, he can almost recover.
This good news also made Luther and Mai relieved.
There were not many elves to be rescued in the elf center today, so the doctor was not particularly busy. He sat aside, watching the fireworks rising into the sky outside the window of the elf center, smiling silently.
Joey walked in carrying large and small bags, and was startled when he saw Luther. After understanding the whole story, he gave a piece of gummy he bought to Jucaoye, and then sat down next to Luther with a snow cake.
, watching the lively scene outside the glass with others.
The grand fireworks show is coming to an end. A bunch of extremely spectacular fireworks exploded in the air, splitting into countless small fireworks that continued to bloom as they fell.
Jucaoye suddenly woke up, and she couldn't take her eyes off the "flowers" blooming in the sky. It wasn't until those fireworks dimmed a little bit and the night sky became cold that Jucaoye turned to look at Mai beside her, stretched out her hand, and called out softly.
One sound.
Jucaoye's behavior made Luther and Mai look away from the street. Seeing Jucaoye who was already somewhat energetic, the two people quickly came up to hold her down and prevent her from jumping around.
"Get some rest. You just took the medicine not long ago. Just lie down." After Mai said that, she picked up the gummy Joey gave her and asked, "Can she eat this now?"
"It doesn't conflict with the medicine. If you don't take too much, you'll be fine."
Mai fed the gummy candy into Kikusouye's mouth, feeling the sweet taste the moment it entered her mouth. Kikusouye even stuck out her tongue and licked Mai's fingers.
The satisfied Chrysanthemum Leaf closed her eyes tightly, feeling the wonderful taste brought by the gummy candy.
"Is it coming?"
Joey and the doctor stood up and looked outside.
Standing on the mailbox, on the house, beside the fountain, the flying elves wandering around various places in the town fluttered their wings as if being pulled by something. The sound of flapping wings continued one after another, like a series of firecrackers going off.
.
Trainers from outside rushed to the streets one after another, raising their cameras and mobile phones to record the shocking scene in front of them.
Luther had never seen videos of migratory birds in his previous life. The number of migratory birds was much larger than it is now.
However, everything that happened in front of me seemed to have an indescribable rhythm. The frequency of the elves' flapping wings, their flying postures, and their uniformity as they soared in the air.
All of this was not rehearsed, as if every action was engraved in the bodies of these elves. When the last black "tail" joined the army hovering in the sky, a black "donut" appeared over the town.
"Donuts" turned into a long queue, and they flew along the outer edge of the town and around the town.
It took a full ten minutes for the long dragon in the air to return to the town's Central Park, and once again became a "donut"
Tonight's night sky has a faint orange-red color, allowing people on the ground to clearly see their beautiful figures in the sky.
"Are you going to lose your feathers?" Luther asked.
Joey nodded: "They have already patrolled the entire town, and now they will take turns to bless the people in the town."
"Aren't you going out?" Mai asked.
"In previous years, I didn't go out. There were always a lot of things to do. At this time, there are often some flying elves who are accidentally injured, as well as trainers who don't understand the rules of the town and have misunderstandings with them. They come here to treat their injuries."
"Don't you feel regretful that you can't participate in such a grand scene..."
Joey pursed his lips and smiled: "We are different."
"Other people's feathers fall on their hands, but they are given to us and fall in their hearts." Joey pushed Mai and Luther out of the door, "Okay, okay, let's take part in this wonderful moment with Ju Caoye,
The opportunity is rare, and it will only have a small impact on her condition for a short time."
