Just as I stepped onto the steps, a strange voice sounded behind me without any warning.
"If you want to die, just leave!"
The sound startled me, and I suddenly turned my head and looked behind me.
But there was no one behind me, except for the old sparrow on the totem pole above my head, who was looking at me calmly.
I understood immediately and looked at it in surprise, "Don't you know how to speak?"
The old sparrow stretched its wings but said nothing.
The fat man's voice came from behind, "Yangzi, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking to a thief from your hometown?"
I looked at the fat man with some surprise and asked in surprise: "Didn't you hear?"
"What did you hear? Are you hallucinating again?" The fat man looked at me suspiciously.
Hu Qiu and Hu Zi also shook their heads. It seemed that they did not hear the old sparrow's voice.
I was suddenly startled, and looked at the old sparrow with a more alert look.
"Don't look, it's me talking to you!" The voice rang in my ears again.
This time, I was finally sure that it was the old sparrow talking to me.
This sparrow has indeed become a spirit.
It is already very good for an animal to be able to practice to speak human words, but the old thief in front of him can obviously communicate through thoughts. This shows that his Taoism is absolutely terrifying, and he doesn't know how many years he has lived to be able to do so.
How to develop this kind of ability??
"You must be feeling very uncomfortable now. If you want to survive, be more honest!" said the old sparrow.
I look a little ugly, because the words of this flat-haired beast are like an awl, piercing my heart.
Fire poison can kill you, I have no doubt about this, because I am suffering from it right now.
"Who are you?" I asked solemnly.
The old sparrow glanced at me and said, "Don't you already know that I am the king's retainer! A retainer for generations to come!"
"You mean Phoenix?" I suddenly became energetic.
"You call it Phoenix, but our king is a phoenix, not a phoenix!"
I frowned slightly, but I didn't expect that the divine bird Phoenix really was different from a phoenix and a phoenix.
"Since you are Fengniao's retainer, why did you bring me here?" I was still concerned about my own problems.
The old sparrow said nothing, fluttering its wings and flew over my shoulder. Before I could recover, its sharp claws lightly scratched my neck.
I screamed out in pain and quickly wiped it with my hand, and blood started to flow out.
I was just about to get angry when I heard the old sparrow continue: "Look at your blood, a descendant of the Zhang family!"
My eyes suddenly widened, and I looked at the old sparrow in front of me in disbelief, "How do you know my surname is Zhang?"
The old sparrow repeated: "Let's take a look at your blood first!"
I subconsciously put down my palm and saw that there was a ball of red blood on my palm.
"Isn't this normal?" I looked at the old sparrow in confusion.
"Smell it!" the old sparrow said again.
I took a look at it, put the blood on my palm under my nose and smelled it gently.
I was immediately shocked when I smelled it, because there was a different smell in my blood. This smell was not sour or smelly, but had a faint fragrance, but this fragrance was also mixed with a faint smell.
The pungent smell is a bit like sulfur and a bit like other chemicals.
Moreover, under the illumination of a strong flashlight, the blood reflects a faint luster that is almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, as if the blood is filled with fine colored dust!
My brows instantly furrowed.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the colorful mist on the phoenix he had seen before, as well as the blazing flames.
It seems that the secret of fire poison is hidden in it.
Based on my current knowledge, it is natural to think of radiation or contact penetration, and this red stone is the source of pollution.
After long-term contact, a certain substance in the stone will enter the human body and blood. This substance will increase a person's strength, but it will also leave toxins in the blood.
Of course, this is just my guess from a scientific perspective, and I'm not sure whether this is the case.
After all, there are many things that cannot be explained by science. There are many wonders in the world. Today’s science seems to be developed, but in fact it is just in its infancy!
For example, this weird red stone is unheard of in nature. It is a natural gene-enhancing drug!
If it were used for scientific research now, I believe it would definitely cause an uproar!
But this is not what I care about. I just want to know how to get rid of this fire poison.
The old sparrow squatted next to him and said slowly: "Have you discovered it? There is a secret in your blood!"
I raised my head and looked at this old sparrow seriously, feeling that it was becoming more and more mysterious.
After taking a deep breath, I asked: "How did you know that my surname is Zhang?"
I decided to find out the other party's details first before talking to him, otherwise I wouldn't trust him.
The old sparrow flapped its wings, flew to the totem pole again, looked in the direction outside the mountain, and said slowly: "A long time ago, there was an old man who came here with a broken heel finger. Who are you?"
"
"Have you met my grandpa?" I exclaimed immediately.
"It seems that's right. He really didn't lie to me. After waiting for you for so long, you are finally here!" said the old sparrow.
"It seems that the agreement between me and him should be fulfilled!"
"What agreement? What did my grandfather tell you?" My heart was already filled with curiosity.
The matter concerns Grandpa, and I urgently want to know.
"Of course I want to save your life. How can a mere human being bear the blood of the Phoenix? Even if you are a pure Yang person, you have different races. In the end, you will end up blind like everyone else, and be infected by the blood in your blood."
The fire poison will burn you to death bit by bit!" said the old sparrow.
"You know this too! How do you know my horoscope?" I looked stunned.
My grandfather never let me tell anyone the secret of my horoscope, but I didn’t expect that this old sparrow in the mountains knew about it.
"Of course, there is no secret in the world that I don't know. My kind are all over the earth!" the old sparrow said with some pride.
I was stunned for a while, and finally wanted to understand one thing. When Mrs. Chen told me that my grandfather had known about this for a long time, I still couldn't understand it. Now it seems that my grandfather not only knew about it, but he had already known about it.
I already found a solution for me eighteen years ago.
"Can you tell me in detail? What agreement do you have with my grandfather?" I took a deep breath to calm down.
"It's very simple. I'll tell you how to save my life. You can help me get rid of the dirty things here and restore peace to the mountains!"
