Chapter 3 The Suddenness of Strange Birds
Early the next morning, Zhang Zhentian woke up and first found Fang Kun to make a plan. Fang Kun was also surprised to hear Zhang Zhentian's words. Snakes are like dirt in this world. Although they are rare, they are not rare. There are snakes by the sea or by rivers and lakes. However, both the snakes in Dongyi and Yanyun, or the snakes in Baiyue are only good at rainfall and do not have electric spells such as lightning.
Since Fang Kun also believes that snakes do not know the art of lightning, it is strange to have both lightning and strong wind in the heavy rain. Zhang Zhentian and Fang Kun discussed for a while. They both thought the matter was urgent. The two left the temporary residence together, looked for a subordinate in this house, and then went to find Yao Ju together.
"Mr. Zhang and General Fang, you have been working all the way, and you still get up so early today?" When Yao Ju saw Zhang Zhentian and Fang Kun walking into his room under the leadership of his servants, he immediately got up and went forward.
"Mr. Yao, you got up early!" Zhang Zhentian and Fang Kun listened to Yao Ju's words and politely saluted Yao Ju together. After that, Zhang Zhentian first glanced at Fang Kun, and then turned to Yao Ju and said, "Mr. Yao, Mr. Su, who was with us last night, told me that this snake can only rain, not thunder and lightning; early this morning, I heard General Fang say that this snake will not rain. So, we both thought about it, Mr. Yao, you see..."
"This snake... really doesn't know the art of thunder and lightning!" After listening to Zhang Zhentian's words, Yao Ju twisted his beard and thought, "Some time ago, when the snake turned into chaos, I really didn't pay attention to whether there was thunder and lightning in the storm."
"Then the wind..." Zhang Zhentian continued to remind.
"Oh, the wind can't say anything." Yao Ju shook his head and replied, "Although snakes are not good at wind spells, it doesn't mean that they can't. If they come out a lot, some wind is also normal. Speaking of this, Yao Ju pointed to the seat behind him. He motioned Zhang Zhentian and Fang Kun to sit down and said, "This thunder and lightning is a big deal. I have to find out." After saying that, he immediately called the servants around him and asked them to go out and look for people from all walks of life to ask about the thunder and lightning.
"Mr. Yao, if this thunder and lightning is really not done by snakes. So, what kind of spiritual people around here are good at thunder and lightning? When Zhang Zhentian saw that Yao Ju had been arranged, he immediately asked.
Yao Ju listened to Zhang Zhentian's words and shook his head, "This is good at thunder and lightning... Ha ha, Lingzu, I really haven't heard of it around here." Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhentian with deep meaning, "Mr. Zhang, do you have some spiritual friends?"
"This...is!" Zhang Zhentian nodded and answered. Zhang Zhentian also knew that he had made a mistake at this time. In this world, the original people are as conceited as human beings in the earth world. They always call other lives with wisdom monsters rather than spirits.
"Oh!" Yao Ju agreed, and then he fell into meditation again. As for whether Zhang Zhentian has spiritual friends or not, it is not Yao Ju's biggest concern, and he is not as hostile to the spiritual clan as Su Huaide. After a long time, Yao Ju looked up and said, "This snake clan has always been alone, and it does not want to live with other ethnic groups. The spirit clan of thunder and lightning must also have some connection with the snake, otherwise, it will not help.
"So Mr. Yao, what do you mean?" Zhang Zhentian listened to Yao Ju's words, and he was a little puzzled.
"The old gentleman means to help the snake make trouble together, and it must also be the ancient spirit clan." Fang Kun interrupted at this time, "If this is the case, it will be difficult for us to deal with them."
"Ha ha, General Fang is right." Yao Ju listened to Fang Kun's words and said, "I'm worried that's exactly what I said. However, near Yao Shubao, I really don't know that there are spiritual people who are good at the art of thunder and lightning, not to mention the ancient spirits.
"In this case, shall we talk about it in the long-term at night?" Zhang Zhentian suggested, "You let the people in the castle continue to prepare according to what was agreed last night. I'll go and find out the truth first in the evening."
"You?" After listening to Zhang Zhentian's words, Yao Ju looked at Zhang Zhentian with some shock, "Mr. Zhang, how can you deal with many... spiritual clans alone?"
"It doesn't matter!" Zhang Zhentian looked at Yao Ju and smiled, "If I can't beat him, I'll run!" Haha."
"It's okay." When Yao Ju saw Zhang Zhentian say this, he brushed his beard and said, "Then I'll let the people in the castle guard the entrance of the fortress so that I can pick you up."
At this time, the servants sent by Yao Ju returned to Yao Ju's room. According to the information they provided, there was no thunder and lightning in the heavy rain a few days ago, but there was a sudden thunderstorm yesterday, but it happened to be noticed by Su Tianxing. In this case, the defense in the castle can't be done according to the original plan. Yao Ju immediately adjusted the deployment, and at the same time, he thanked Zhang Zhentian and Fang Kun again, and everyone prepared to go separately.
"Mr. Zhang, General Fang!" When Zhang Zhentian and Fang Kun returned to the room, Su Tianxing and Jiang Dongfang were already waiting in the room, and Su Wanyue and Yao Xiu were also waiting in their room.
"Oh, everyone is here!" When Zhang Zhentian saw the four of them, he smiled first, and then saluted Yao Xiu, "Miss Yao, you are also here."
"What? Can't I be here?" Yao Xiu still had the same face yesterday, "And don't miss Yao, Sister Yao!" My name is Yao Xiu, and I have a name!"
"This..." Zhang Zhentian felt a little embarrassed when he heard Yao Xiu's words, "Hehe, then you see..."
"What are you looking at?" Yao Xiu still said, "If you like to call me by my name, call me Yao Xiu; if you don't like it, just call me Xiuer!"
"Oh, that's it." Zhang Zhentian nodded when he heard this. He turned his eyes to Jiang Dongfang and Su Tianxing, "Just now, Mr. Yao and I have already discussed it. When the snake comes, let me go out to see what spirits are in the sky, and then we will make plans.
"No!" Before others could speak, Yao Xiu was the first to stand up against it and say, "You are all from afar. It's up to you to see the monster!" Can you find the access to the bunker?
"I have asked Mr. Yao to arrange this." Zhang Zhentian had no choice but to answer.
"Mr. Zhang, I think Yao... Xiu makes sense." Su Tianxing also wanted to call Miss Yao, but he changed his words halfway. He didn't want to be robbed by this fierce girl. "However, among us, Mr. Zhang's spell is the best. I think it's better to find someone in the castle with you!"
"That's it! It's still Brother Su's words. Yao Xiu listened to Su Tianxing's words, and she took over directly, "Well! This afternoon, I'll wait for the snake in the castle with you!"
"This..." Zhang Zhentian shook it after hearing it, "Yao Xiu, it's not that I don't want you to go with me. But, do you recognize those ancient spirits?"
"Bah! What kind of spirit? Obviously, it's a monster!" Yao Xiu answered neatly, "Even if I don't recognize it, I can draw it!"
"Brother Zhang, let Xiuer go with you!" Su Wanyue said at this time, "Last night, I saw many of her paintings in Xiuer's sister's room. She is really good at painting.
"In that case, that's good!" Zhang Zhentian reluctantly nod, "It's just an accident. Remember to run for your life honestly! Also, don't blame me for not saving you."
"I know!" Yao Xiu waved her hand and interrupted Zhang Zhentian's words, "I have never saved others, and I have never been saved."
After lunch, the people in the castle came out from each household and gathered together in the bunker. In recent days, the people in the castle have also figured out the rules. This snake usually comes to Yaoshubao at two or three o'clock in the afternoon to make trouble. Then, after about two hours, that is, four hours, they will leave. For several days in a row, it is like this every day. Moreover, the people in the castle are gradually finding these snakes and so on, as if they are looking for something or people around the castle. Because they do not want to drive away and hurt the humans and animals they find by them except for prey.
After about half an hour, all the people in the bunker hid in the bunker. Zhang Zhentian and Yao Xiu stayed in an open space near the bunker, where they waited for the arrival of the snake. Regarding Yao Xiu and Zhang Zhentian's surveillance of snakes together. Although Yao Ju objected, he had no choice but to deal with Yao Xiu. In the end, he just told Yao Xiu a few words and left her.
"Zhang, look over there!" Yao Xiu pointed to a black cloud gradually emerging in the east and said to Zhang Zhentian, "The snake is coming."
"Oh!" Zhang Zhentian answered, and then his eyes followed the direction of Yao Xiu's finger and looked at the black cloud, "How long do you think there will be?"
"Half an hour!" Yao Xiu replied casually, "Yes, the surname is Zhang. I run so fast! Don't say I didn't remind you when you run for your life.
"Ha ha, don't worry!" Zhang Zhentian smiled mysteriously at Yao Xiu. In fact, Zhang Zhentian had other plans in his heart, but he didn't say it clearly.
As the dark clouds gradually approached Yaoshubao, the heavy rain fell again. Soon, there was a rain curtain between heaven and earth. Zhang Zhentian and Yao Xiu found a house near the entrance of the bunker and hid underneath. What a heavy rain!" Zhang Zhentian sighed and looked at the sky.
"Hmm! Inexperienced." Yao Xiu stood beside Zhang Zhentian and replied contemptuously, "This is what it looked like when the snake came!"
"Kka!" While the two were talking, a flash of lightning came down from mid-air, and then lightning flashed and thundered in the sky. Under the light of thunder and lightning, Zhang Zhentian and Yao Xiu can see long snakes flying in the dark clouds. And accompanied by these giant snakes, there seems to be a big bird. And these lightnings came from the head and neck of the big bird.
"What is that?" Zhang Zhentian touched Yao Xiu beside him with his arm.
"I don't know!" Yao Xiu stared at the big bird and shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it!"
"Can you see what it looks like?" Seeing this, Zhang Zhentian continued to ask.
"Almost." Yao Xiu nodded, and then she shook her head again, "It's too far! Some can't see clearly. However, it seems to have more than one pair of wings!"
"The sight here is not good! I'll try to get closer to it." After Zhang Zhentian said, his body rushed out of the house, and his voice was still echoing in the room. "When you see its appearance, you can run back and tell Mr. Yao or stay here not to move!"
Yao Xiu listened to Zhang Zhentian's words, but she could not react. Zhang Zhentian had left her. However, Zhang Zhentian also underestimated the woman's courage. She saw that Zhang Zhentian had rushed to the street. Instead of preparing to escape or hide, she pulled the bowstring and set up a feather arrow to hide directly behind the door, waiting for Zhang Zhentian to lead the big bird down.
"Kka!" A flash of lightning shot directly at Zhang Zhentian. The strange bird in the air had obviously found Zhang Zhentian's existence. As it circled in the air, it shouted and rushed to Zhang Zhentian.
