The Demon Emperor of the Perfect World

Chapter 14 Fire Nation Sacrifice to Spirits
  Broken clouds cover the moon, and the silver light flickers in and out, passing through the dense forest and illuminating the land in the forest.

It turns out that this is a mass grave.

Irregular earth mounds, old graves sandwiched between new graves, countless exposed bones, and rotting corpses lying here and there, accompanied by the cold wind or the cries of lonely ghosts, coupled with the floating corpses. Paper money, rotten or brand new, makes people's hair stand on end and send shivers down their spines.

Not deep in this mass grave, a small roadside ditch is very conspicuous. There was a new corpse thrown on top of the pile of corpses here. The body was immature and young, the clothes were torn, and the back was facing the sky. It was a rainy day.

"Quack! Quack! Quack!"

Countless crows were cawing, some were circling, and some were pecking at corpses.

Perhaps because the crows were chirping so loudly, the corpse started to move. A young, muddy hand rose up to support the rotten corpse below, followed by another, using both hands to support the body. He opened his eyes, looking confused.

Yutian stretched out his hand and looked at himself, staring at his open hands, feeling confused. He looked up and looked around, only to see corpses everywhere. His eyes widened for a moment, with a look of horror on his face, and he didn't understand why he was here when he woke up.

He stepped on the white bones, and from time to time he would crush a few of them, emitting faint fluorescence and sparkling will-o'-the-wisps, and he was not afraid. Don't know the way, don't know where to go. Aimlessly and with a confused look on his face, he walked deeper into the forest and passed through the mass graves.

Soon, the silver moon sets in the west, dawn breaks in the east, and the sky reflects the colorful clouds. I don’t know how far I have walked on the rainy day, but the forest is deep and the trees are dense, as if there is no limit or end.

He kept walking on the rainy day, and from time to time he would hear the roar of animals and the neighing of birds. He could only hear it but not see it, so he didn't care.

It was now bright and the air was fresh.

A small river appeared in front, and a little red bird about the size of a palm was drinking water. The little red bird was chubby, and its crown, neck and tail were all golden. In addition, its whole body was red.

If he hadn't lost his memory on the rainy day, he would have definitely recognized that the familiar little red bird was the Fire Nation's sacrifice spirit Suzaku.

A sense of curiosity arose in Yutian's heart. This little bird made him feel curious and interesting, unlike the crows he saw last night, which gave him a feeling of depression, death and disgust.

"what!"

On a rainy day, I don’t know why, but suddenly I had an idea to scare this little bird. So he approached quietly from behind and shouted teasingly.

"ah!"

The little red bird was leisurely pecking at the water without paying attention to its back, and was suddenly startled by the sound of rain. It flapped its wings and plunged into the water.

The little red bird struggled out, shook the water from its body, and stared at the rainy sky, its eyes spitting fire, full of anger.

"Human cub, you're looking for a beating!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew towards the rainy sky.

On a rainy day, I heard a bird talking and calling out a monster, and I was immediately frightened. He immediately turned around and ran away. Before he could escape a few steps, Xiao Hong slapped his ears with his wings and fell to the ground.

"Ow!"

"Help, the harpy is hitting someone!"

He bared his teeth, kicked his hands and feet, struggled hard, and yelled.

When the little red bird heard Yu Tian's words, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He jumped up and down and kicked Yu Tian's belly with his claws, without any intention of stopping.

However, as a respected beast, it didn't use any force, it just wanted to beat up the kid who scared it.

"Let go, didn't I just tease you?"

"Let go!"

"Harpy, don't go too far!"

"Harpy!"

"I'll fight back if you do this again!"

"You're fighting back!"

The little red bird ignored Yutian's words. As long as he said something, he would answer it himself. He was talking and beating him at the same time.

For a long time, Yutian couldn't resist, and was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. His little eyes were full of resentment and grievance. The little red bird showed a satisfied look, with a pair of small wings on its waist, its head raised proudly, and said proudly:
  "How do you feel, little brat, do you dare to mess with me?"

When Yu Tian heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately shook his head like a rattle. He quickly waved his hands and said, "I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore."

The little red bird stopped teasing Yutian and asked him:
  "A human brat who only has the strength of the Blood Realm and comes to the wilderness alone, how dare you?"

"I don't know either. I just walked here."

Yu Tian said indifferently, even he himself felt that he was here inexplicably.

"What's your name?"

The little red bird continued to ask.

"I have no idea!"

Yutian scratched his head and couldn't remember, so he answered.

Hearing that this human child didn't even know his own name, the little red bird was speechless and speechless.

"Then where is your home?"

The little red bird still asked a lot.

"I don't remember it at all!"

Yutian said confusedly.

Seeing how careless and careless he was, the little red bird rolled his eyes. Secretly, this little human guy is a bit stupid. It could be seen that the child was not lying and must have lost his memory.

"It stinks like hell, you go take a shower first! This wilderness is dangerous, wait until I take you back to your human world."

The little red bird is kind-hearted and cannot bear the thought of a child wandering alone in the wilderness, not to mention that he has lost his memory. The wild beasts are rampant in the wilderness, and it thinks it is a miracle that this child can survive until now.

"bath?"

Yutian tilted his head, looking confused.

"Snapped!"

The little red bird didn't bother to talk nonsense to Yu Tian, ​​so it flapped him into the river with one wing.

He fell into the river with a splash on the rainy day. He was shocked, struggled hurriedly, and kept slapping the water. He choked and drank several mouthfuls of water.

The little red bird covered its face with its wings and looked away. However, it still caught Yu Tian to the river, fearing that he would be drowned.

On a rainy day, he was forced to wash for a long time, and he was not let go until his whole body was white and free of the odor mixed with the stench of dead bodies.

Then, the little red bird turned into a huge bird that covered the sky. In the rainy day's frightened eyes, regardless of his resistance, the bird's claws grabbed him, who was all wet, and flew away into the distance.

It heard about the mountain treasure and wanted to look for it. It doesn't matter if I give this human child a ride along the way. Otherwise, this human child will die in this wilderness.

The scenery flew by, the wind blew against my face, and I was shivering from the cold on a rainy day.

……

In the wilderness, somewhere in the vast mountains, among the mountains and valleys, there is a village.

The village is ordinary, but very peaceful, like a paradise.

At the entrance of the village, there was a dead willow tree, thick and tall, but completely blackened, with only one willow branch swaying in the wind.

In an ordinary wooden house in the village, there was an old man with white hair and kind eyes. The old man was holding a jar of cooked animal milk, stirring it constantly with a wooden spoon. Sometimes he would add some herbs to make the animal milk more nutritious and smell more fragrant.

There is a wooden bed behind the old man. There is a baby on the bed, his eyes are closed and he is sleeping quietly. The delicate and soft little face like porcelain is very pink and looks chubby, which makes people love it and can't help but want to go up and pinch it.
