Chapter 73 · Yingyu Gui Liu
The birth of Gui Liu brought continuous heavy rain.
He was born at the time of the ancestral stone, which was precisely the dividing line between the upper and lower ranks. Those above Gui Liu were adults, and those below Gui Liu were children.
That year, a deep blue stream of water, like rivers, lakes, and seas, poured forth from the ancestral stone. Only the one standing atop the mountain, gazing into the distance, knew that this was the source of ice, and it had finally appeared. By then, she had completely deduced all the subsequent spiritual attributes and understood that the five elements were also governed by cause and effect.
With the fireworks and thunder already accomplished, the appearance of the Water Spirit is truly timely, and the continuous heavy rain can also be countered by the earth and wood elements.
In short, everyone had high expectations before this long little fish was unveiled.
Unexpectedly, the entire Culaishan area was flooded that year.
A torrent of water continuously pours out from the ancestral stone, flowing from the mountaintop all the way to the sea in all directions, thus forming many rivers in the mountains, which still converge to this day to form the water system structure of the Changming ancestral land.
The vibrant water spirit flowed into the sea, nourishing fish and marine life. Gradually, these creatures were carried to the mainland by the waves, and from then on, newborns with water spirit bones began to appear in the human world.
The five eldest brothers and sisters of the Changming clan suffered the consequences. Apart from Wei Yi, who was of the ice element and Yang Wu, who was of the earth element, the three of them—Huo Lei Yan, Huo Wei, and Huo Lei Yan—were in a very sorry state. Cang Long could fly into the sky to avoid the water, but Huo Qilin and Chi Hu, the two strongest combat attributes, could only run around aimlessly.
However, their approaches to this matter remain quite different.
Faced with the flood, Chi Hu Feng Si cursed the sky every day while fighting to save the crops.
Faced with the flood, Kirin Fuji developed the good habit of taking a bath every day to save his life.
The gentle and refined fire unicorn has always been submissive: when life throws a tantrum at him, he sits down and begins to wash and scrub.
When Gui Liu finally released enough water and emerged from the center of the ancestral stone, he was immediately grabbed by Feng Si's scorching tiger claws, who shouted urgently, "It's here! It's a snake! It's a snake! Little Liu is a snake!"
This was the first thing Yingyu Guiliu heard.
You snake my ass! I'm a fish.
The long-tailed snail does look somewhat like a snake, its entire body is pitch black and gloomy, with a long, scaly tail that it swims with. Compared to its slender tail, its two fins are indeed not very noticeable.
His identity was almost definitively determined by that fat tiger, but fortunately, Fifth Sister came to uphold justice, and he was not made a public figure as the giant black snake.
Chi Hu licked the fish head with his rough, prickly tongue, then secretly spat twice, muttering, "This little six is so dark and looks so evil..."
"Evil my ass!" Gui Liu roared, spitting out bubbles in fury.
Besides, it's dark blue, not completely black!
Gui Liu harbored a deep resentment towards the two sentences he heard after his birth, becoming the most slippery junior in the Changming clan, causing headaches for the adults. It wasn't until many years later that he was finally able to look up to the sky and retort to those words.
There's something even darker and more evil to come! Hahaha!
When a black bird lands, you will know what true evil is!
…
Initially, Gui Liu viewed the little bird with the intention of aiding and abetting evil and stirring up trouble.
When Jin Shi was born, all of them finally experienced immense joy in their long lives.
Because by then, the birds were much older than them.
He was fierce from the moment he was born; there was no cute phase, only a hateful one.
Although the ashes that fell on the day he was born caused Wei Yi to have some worries, and even led everyone into the space of the ancestral land with Fuji, no one ever thought of suppressing Jin Shi's nature and making him more docile and mature.
So, during its growth, this little bird destroyed homes and burned mountains whenever it wanted, flying around causing destruction and successfully earning its place as the most evil member of the Changming Clan.
Nobody thinks it's wrong. If this is his nature, then he should live and grow up this way.
After that girl appeared, their childhood, youth, and future should have been even brighter and more peaceful.
So Gui Liu never imagined that many years later he would spend so much time lying on the wrist bone of this little bird, watching it wander through the world like a graceful adult.
He transformed into a tiny snake, hiding in his sleeve, watching him build ten altars in the Tianyan Kingdom, concealing his true name, and watching him move with a gentle smile, swirling in the hearts of all kinds of people.
It's clearly the smallest bird, clearly just an evil little bird.
Gui Liu always felt that the past hundred years were like a dark and endless rain, the rain blurring everything.
When Jinshi pulled him out of the small pond, the rainwater in front of him had completely dried, and his vision began to clear.
His fierce and gloomy expression had completely vanished, replaced by a warm and gentle smile. He moved freely in the small kingdom of Tianyan, where he was loved and sung by the people. He had grown up a lot, and he always looked at everyone with a smile, yet he would ruthlessly break his own bones.
This is the law of humanity, different from that of animals born and raised in nature.
Thus, Gui Liu began to understand Jin Shi. At a time when everyone else was still imprisoned, he was fortunate, yet unfortunate, to be the first to get to know the little bird.
He learns too fast and too well.
But little bird, the things humans teach you make us sad.
…
But little bird, how come you didn't recognize her either?
Gui Liu often regretted that he should have understood when that princess named Dongfang Qian appeared in Tianyan Kingdom.
While the whole world was devouring the flesh and blood of the Netherworld Clan, outside the ancient forest's deadly formation that year, she even picked up the fish scales he had dropped, wanting to return them to him.
Eventually, someone will appear in our world and, in the end, liberate us through the forgetting of time.
A century-long torrential rain finally nurtured a towering tree.
