I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 668 - 471 Mysterious Birds
Du Yu only felt his head buzzing.
After a while, Celestial Cyan Porcelain finally finished her frenzy and withdrew her divine techniques.
Du Yu forced himself to endure the ringing in his ears, using one hand to brace against the Dragon's Teeth, stumbling as he crawled out.
Unexpectedly, just as he fell from the dragon's mouth, he was caught by a long Dragon Beard.
The voice of Celestial Cyan Porcelain imprinted in his mind: "Thank you, Du Yu."
Du Yu wanted to cry but had no tears; affected by the ringing in his ears, he shouted loudly: "No need to thank me! Just let me go, quickly!"
Celestial Cyan Porcelain: "..."
Her voice was full of apology: "I lost my composure."
After searching for hundreds and thousands of years, today finally found the result.
Any living creature would be ecstatic, Du Yu could understand.
The problem is, Celestial Cyan Porcelain isn't an ordinary creature, but an Ancient Demon Saint!
This level of existence, any slight disturbance, could potentially cause devastating damage to the Human Race.
Du Yu only felt himself almost becoming the "Night Watchman," burdened by his ears!
Fortunately, the voice of Celestial Cyan Porcelain was directly imprinted in Du Yu's mind: "Du Yu, I..."
Du Yu waved his hand, the other hand pressed on the Dragon Beard: "No need to talk about that. How are you?"
Celestial Cyan Porcelain: "I am accepting and integrating the Demon Soul in the droplet, I need to recuperate for a period."
Du Yu's shout was still loud: "Then you should rest quickly, don't mind me."
Celestial Cyan Porcelain looked below, and the Dragon Beard entangled with Du Yu suddenly lifted him away from the mouth.
Then, streams of Purple Marsh Water gushed from the mouth, flowing toward the large bowl of the branches below.
The Shatang Tree understood instantly and expanded the "Purple Marsh Pool."'s scale.
Finally, the divided Purple Marsh Water reassembled together.
On this side, Celestial Cyan Porcelain lets the Purple Marsh Water return to the pool, while Du Yu, who is rolled towards the top, saw a peculiar scene.
Right on the forehead above the dragon's head, a palm-sized purple water droplet was embedded firmly.
Deep purple light, mysterious and magnificent.
It seemed to contain an expansive universe within.
"Hmm?" A sudden intense feeling of weightlessness surged into his heart, and Du Yu instinctively hugged the Dragon Beard tightly.
"Splash!"
Celestial Cyan Porcelain fell into the Purple Marsh Pool, water splashed everywhere.
Du Yu held his breath, feeling extremely distressed, as the Demon Soul transmitted thoughts: "Be gentle, the water splashed outside."
This wasteful Demon Saint!
Don't you know that Purple Marsh Water has vanished?
Celestial Cyan Porcelain: "No worries, Purple Abyss Water Drops are the essence of Purple Marsh Water.
As long as there is any residue of Purple Marsh, the droplets can rebuild upon it, allowing Purple Marsh to regenerate."
"Oh?" Du Yu covered his mouth and nose with one hand, mood instantly improving, "The water droplet told you that?"
"Yes." The icy Dragon Beard lifted Du Yu out of the water, "With the ancient left-over Purple Marsh, the Purple Abyss Water is complete.
With the core Demon Soul in the droplet, I am complete too.
Du Yu, the droplet and I will always remember you..."
"You are my Demon Pet, no need to say those things." Du Yu interrupted Celestial Cyan Porcelain's words of gratitude.
By now, his emotions had stabilized quite a bit: "Qingci, do you have a chance to cultivate into a Supreme?"
"Yes." Celestial Cyan Porcelain's response was very certain, "I am still integrating the Demon Soul and need to rest."
"Alright." Du Yu struggled a bit, "You should rest now, don't mind me."
Celestial Cyan Porcelain: "Will you accompany me?"
"For how long?"
"Integrating the Demon Soul isn't easy and requires time."
"Then forget it." Du Yu shook his head, "You should focus more."
Seeing it's nearly the end of the month, I need to go to the library and scavenge.
Moreover, I don't have a Water Attribute, here with you and the Purple Marsh Water, I can't cultivate at all.
Finally, Celestial Cyan Porcelain released Du Yu.
Du Yu slowly flew back, shaking off water stains all over his body.
In his sight, Celestial Cyan Porcelain silently watched Du Yu, gradually sinking into the Purple Marsh Water.
Beside, a Begonia Tree branch stretched over, lightly sweeping across Du Yu's body.
"Hmm?" Du Yu frowned slightly.
Shatang said that when Celestial Cyan Porcelain embedded the droplet earlier, the Purple Abyss Water Drops showed obvious retreat and hesitation?
"Ask again after Qingci integrates the Demon Soul." Du Yu patted the branch, "Don't disturb her for now."
Shatang: "Yes. Master..."
Du Yu: "What's up?"
Shatang: "The story you told just now, is that real?"
"Uh." Du Yu stuttered a bit, scratching his head, "They're just mythical legends."
Shatang: "Hmm..."
Du Yu felt puzzled in his heart: "What's the matter?"
Shatang: "Before I entered the Sea Realm, I had seen a bird.
It would always hold branches, stones, and other debris in its mouth, flying back and forth above my head.
Day and night without stopping."
Du Yu: ???
Shatang: "But it wasn't filling the sea, rather a river.
I remember, it often rested on me.
I once asked the bird why it did this, but it never answered me."
Du Yu was shocked!
"Jingwei Filling the Sea" is not a story of this world but a myth from Du Yu's previous life.
Du Yu immediately asked: "What did the bird look like?"
Shatang: "It looked like a duck or a goose, wings possibly blue or gray, I don't quite remember.
I remember it having a patterned head, with a white beak and red claws."
Du Yu was stunned for quite a while and said: "You're talking about the Flower-forehead Goose, right?"
Shatang: "Oh?"
Du Yu: "That's a type of Wind Demonic Beast. By the way, you mentioned to me that your hometown is in Celestial Paradise?"
Shatang: "Yes."
Du Yu inwardly nodded, so it doesn't relate to the mythical legends of the previous life.
Even if you take the mythical legends as true,
The story of Jingwei Filling the Sea must have happened in the north, not the southwest.
Du Yu patted the Begonia Tree branch, the Demon Soul emerged in his palm: "I'll transfer the image of the bird, take a look."
Then, the Shatang Tree received the image of the Flower-forehead Goose.
After a moment of silence, the Shatang Tree's voice was hoarse: "Perhaps it's it."
That relentless bird, tirelessly persevering day and night, should have been dead for centuries.
Du Yu clearly sensed that the Shatang Tree felt a bit down.
The Shatang Tree had lived for centuries, experienced too much, and been lonely for far too long.
The memory of the Great Demon Saint had long become blurred.
However, in the exceedingly long life of Shatang, these few fragments remained vivid in memory...
So,
Is there a story between the bird and the big tree?
Du Yu remained silent, pondering secretly.
Or perhaps it was his narration that opened the door to Shatang's memory.
Was it reminiscing the past, or missing its homeland?
Du Yu thought for a moment and inquired: "Do you miss your homeland?
If you do, I can take you back to have a look, just provide me with a bit more information."
Du Yu had already helped find the Purple Marsh of the Celestial Cyan Porcelain, so locating the birthplace of the Shatang Tree wasn't far off.
Moreover, the area had already been narrowed down to the Celestial Province, a bit more information should suffice to find it.
The Shatang Tree spoke in a low voice: "I just lived in a wild mountain forest."
Hearing Shatang's deep, weathered voice, Du Yu didn't know how to respond.
Shatang: "The Sea Realm is my home."
Du Yu patted the branch in front of him, comforting: "Yes, this is our home.
The demonic plants within the Dust Spirit Garden will grow increasingly numerous, and the demon beasts will also increase.
There will be more living beings to accompany you and me."
Shatang: "Hmm."
Du Yu spoke softly: "Help me keep an eye on the Celestial Cyan Porcelain, the outside is urging urgently, I have to go report safely." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Shatang: "Alright."
With a slight touch of the Begonia leaf, Du Yu's figure disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, he sat drenched on the independent sofa in the villa's living room.
Guided by Xiaoyan, everyone had already gathered in the living room.
"Ying!" Xiaoyan immediately leaped onto Du Yu.
Besides the scent of Purple Marsh Water, she also smelled the full aroma of Celestial Cyan Porcelain.
Yet this time, Prince Yan didn't act out but rather looked at Du Yu with some concern.
Du Yu smiled and gave a thumbs-up: "Mission accomplished perfectly!"
"Plap~"
Li Mengnan stepped forward, slapping Du Yu's arm, splashing Purple Marsh Water all over her hand.
She complained: "You guy, you left me in the Sea Realm, I could have helped you!"
"I'll be more careful next time." Du Yu said apologetically, smoothly drawing Xiaoyan back into the Acupoint Home.
What Li Mengnan said was true.
Her Snow Deer Yiren was much faster than Bai Yujing.
It's not just as simple as lending a hand, in critical moments, it might even save Du Yu's life.
Moreover, Li Mengnan's personal skills in escape, maneuvering, and survival weren't inferior to Du Yu's.
It's just that Du Yu had the habit of protecting Li Mengnan.
Instinctively, he transported her back to a safe place.
Suppressing her emotions, Lin Shiwei walked over to get a towel and asked with concern: "Is the Purple Abyss Water back?"
Du Yu: "It's back, the Celestial Cyan Porcelain is currently fusing with the Demon Soul, it'll take some time."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Su Ming'an: "Aunt Su."
"Hmm?"
Du Yu inquired: "Does the Wind Demon Beast·Flower-forehead Goose have a habit of carrying pebbles and branches in its mouth to fill lakes and rivers?"
Du Yu had a lot on his mind, as an excellent Demon Tamer... details are essential!
He had previously clearly asked if Shatang was missing its homeland.
Getting Shatang's response like that, Du Yu had his judgment: Perhaps his own Great Demon Saint was missing that demon beast?
Anyway, this was a rare occasion for the Shatang Tree to talk about a species.
And it had such clear memories of this species!
So...
If the bird species could be identified, he could catch a few and bring them into the Sea Realm, raising them in the Begonia Forest.
Perhaps, Shatang could be a little happier?
All along, it was the Shatang Tree who was assisting Du Yu, diligently serving Du Yu.
Now that there was a rare opportunity to repay, he naturally didn't want to miss it.
Listening to Du Yu's inquiry, Su Ming'an felt somewhat bewildered, then shook her head: "No."
Du Yu frowned slightly: "Then something that looks like a duck-goose, a patterned bird head...."
He took the towel passed by Lin Shiwei and repeated Shatang Tree's description.
In return, Su Ming'an also shook her head repeatedly.
There is a wide variety of bird demon beasts, and some species can somewhat match Du Yu's description in appearance.
But none of the birds had the habit of "filling lakes and rivers".
Su Ming'an even suspected that the demon beast birds were building nests, but Du Yu insisted they were filling rivers...
"I'll go wash up first." Du Yu found an excuse to head for the guest room.
Unable to get answers from Su the Great Breeder, nor could the women find anything from their phones.
Since that's the case, it's time to consult the "Record of Ten Thousand Demons"!
This king is curious to see what this is!
Du Yu quickly returned to the guest room, picked up his phone from the bedside, and edited the bird's information, immediately sending it to Senior Brother Li Jing.
Currently, the "Record of Ten Thousand Demons" excavated from the Mountain Realm is still being compiled and revised, not yet open to the public.
If you want to look up information, you have to check from within.
"Senior Brother, can you help me find this?"
Li Jing replied quickly: "Isn't this the Flower-forehead Goose? Mostly found around Shanjin and Heji."
Du Yu rolled his eyes, you're really smart, huh!
His fingers typed rapidly on the screen: "Mainly looking at habits, and it's living in the Celestial Paradise.
Senior Brother, can you help me look in the ancient books?"
Li Jing: "Sure. By the way, Master Qing has been in a particularly good mood these past two days, I don't know why, you could ask."
Du Yu's expression turned odd: "Why don't you ask?"
Li Jing: "I did, Master Qing ignored me."
Du Yu: "..."
After a moment of silence, Du Yu sent a "thumbs up" emoji to Senior Brother Li Jing.
Li Jing replied even faster, immediately responding with a "smiling with pursed lips" emoji.
