Volume 13 Chapter 16 Gu Yu Bird
The part of the top of Minshan Mountain is the private territory of the Xiahou family. No other inhabitant living in Minshan was allowed to set foot in the territory belonging to the Xiahou family. Unless, to become a servant of this family, to be given a number.
Then, under the guidance of the red-clothed servants, Aine followed them, and finally entered the private domain.
The girl didn't keep up.
According to what the red-clothed servant said, in such a close position from the Xiahou family's territory, ordinary people would not dare to get too close at all. The Xiahou family, for the people of Minshan, is an extremely mysterious and terrifying existence.
And after entering the private territory, she actually saw ......
"Wind ...... Windmill? â
After entering the Xiahou family's private territory, she actually saw a windmill every time she walked a section.
"Hmm." The red-clothed servant explained: "The Xiahou family has its own energy system, and wind power is only one part of it. â
"Is it self-sufficient? So you don't need to be in contact with the outside world? â
Not really, but for the most part, it is. Of course, this is the territory of the clan, and only the people of the clan can live there for a long time, and those who are separated from the clan need to contribute to the clan if they want to obtain land. â
"Land...... Land or something, it should be state-owned, right? â
"In a barren place like Minshan, no one will seriously care about the issue of land ownership."
So...... That's right. The land of this mountain is barren and there are no weeds, and I am afraid that even agricultural cultivation is very difficult.
"But...... Land, for the people of the Xiahou family, has little meaning. â
"It's ...... What do you mean? â
However. Next. Servant in Red. I won't explain anything for Ayin.
It's starting to get dark. The sun is gradually engulfed by the horizon.
At this time, Aine finally saw the building in front of her......
It was a series of houses that resembled ancient manors, scattered among the fields. These manors were not as strange as she expected, and she couldn't see too many abnormalities.
This is the summit of Minsan Mountain. Look down from here. Although it cannot be said that it is a small view of the mountains, it is enough to take in the scenery within a radius of several miles.
Aine took a deep breath of air.
As a Beijinger, I have to endure the horror of PM2.5 every day, and only in this place of clean air can I dare to let go of my breath.
In front of the manor, a lot of red silk has been hung, and many red-clothed servants are busy.
Apparently ...... Are you preparing for this so-called "marriage"?
Aine followed the red-clothed servants. Walk towards the Xiahou family manor in front of you.
At this moment, suddenly. She saw a strange bird fly past her, and then landed in front of her!
Some look like crows, but the image is very vicious birds. The bird's eyes were staring at the sound in front of it, and it turned out to be ...... From time to time, he showed a humane gaze.
"It's ...... What bird? Aine couldn't help but ask, confused.
"Gu Yu Bird."
"Gu Yu Bird?" Aine asked suspiciously, "Is this ...... What bird? Never heard of it. â
Immediately, I saw the bird make a strange call, and then it flew into the sky, and soon disappeared into the sky.
"It's really strange." A red-clothed servant said suspiciously: "Although I heard that there will be a Guyu bird before the 'solar eclipse', it will actually stop in front of the people who have separated from the Xiahou family......
As an actor who plays Xiahou Xuanyin, she knows Gu Huoniao.
Gu Won Bird ...... A kind of monster in Chinese mythology, which is transformed by mothers, will take away other people's babies, a kind of ...... In reality, there should be no zĂ i birds.
The legendary demon bird Gu won and actually appeared in Xiahou's house.
The Gushu bird, in Chinese legend, is an extremely ominous strange bird.
Its presence here is also a sign of future calamities.
"That bird just now...... The look in his eyes was strange......" Aine said with palpitations.
"The Gu Bird is a demon bird that portends bad luck, of course you think so."
After hearing this, Aine immediately turned around!
The one who came was the Xiahou Night King!
Seeing the arrival of the Night King, almost all the red-clothed servants bowed their bodies and bowed.
"Young master!"
"You have to be careful." The Night King looked at Xuanyin coldly: "When the Guhou Bird appears in front of you again, I am afraid that for you, it will be the arrival of the real calamity. â
At this moment, suddenly, a strange bell began to echo inside the manor!
"Follow me."
Aine looked at the Night King at this time and nodded. Then she followed.
Inside the manor, the red-clad servants came and went in large numbers.
And wherever the Night King went, when he saw his red-clothed servants, they all bowed their heads and saluted. Obviously, the Night King is also a person with a high status in the clan of the Xiahou family.
"You...... Meet Xiahou Tailan, right? Aine asked tentatively.
"She's my cousin."
Just five simple words, and then there are no more words.
"Is it just a simple introduction to 'cousin'?" At this time, from the corner of darkness, Xiahou Tailan walked out.
The Night King stopped.
"As the person presiding over the 'wedding', it seems that you shouldn't be here. For a person who has a separate family, there is no need for you to receive it in person, right? â
Xuanyin frowned slightly, looking at the Thai blue in front of her. However, this is the clan of the Xiahou family, and people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. She moved her lips a few times at first, but still didn't say much.
"She is the granddaughter of Xiahou Qinglian."
"So what?" Tai Lan smiled coldly: "Ah...... That's right. Compared to you, Xiahou Qinglian is not a name that should be hated. However, for me, it is different. Night King, although you say that I am your 'cousin', I don't really recognize you as my 'cousin'. â
Xiahou Tailan's words made Xuanyin greatly stunned.
The Xiahou Night King is obviously a high-ranking and powerful person in the Xiahou family's clan, but why did Xiahou Tailan react like this?
For a while, she thought of the bloody routine of many wealthy families fighting for family property and hating each other among their heirs.
But...... She vaguely felt that this was not the case.
The Night King gave Tayla a cold look, unimpressed by what she had just said.
"I'll give you a piece of advice." Tailan's tone became colder and colder: "What you are planning to do now, stop immediately." â
"Advice?" The Night King seemed to hear something funny, "Tyran, what did you just say...... Advice? â
"At this stage, it's still 'advice'. It won't be long before it becomes a 'warning'. â
"I am the young master of the Xiahou family."
"I'm sorry......" Tailan's eyes were filled with indifference like ten thousand years of ice: "I have never regarded you as the bloodline of the Xiahou family, never!" (To be continued......)
PS: It's a change today...... It's hard to conceive of pure horror. Gu Won Bird is a monster in Chinese mythology, but the first time I knew about Gu Won Bird was a Japanese novel, which is embarrassing......
