Chapter 44
"You TM..." Chen Bofu was so angry that his teeth itched, but he swallowed the curse words back.
It is the rule of the old Chen family not to scold people on a happy day.
"Okay, okay, I will ask Ryan to give you, a starving ghost, food when I go back. Don't delay our work here, get out of here."
"I won't."
Wei Nan took a step to the side, put the bag in his hand on the ground, crossed his arms and looked very interested.
"You two must have something to do. I want to see what you want to do!"
"?"
Chen Bofu was so angry that he forgot how to curse.
He looked at his grandson Chen Jing in disbelief and pointed at Wei Nan again. The meaning was very simple...
Where did you know this shameless person?
"Hurry up, blow the whistle, and we will go back to eat after confirming that it works." Chen Bofu said impatiently.
Chen Jing nodded, without further explanation to Wei Nan, he picked up the stone whistle and put it in his mouth, then slowly exhaled and blew it...
Different from the crisp and melodious whistle sound that Chen Jing imagined, it was a weird, distorted and even disgusting tone.
The shrill and resentful whistle sound was sharper than nails scratching a blackboard, as if every distorted syllable turned into a poisoned steel needle, piercing everyone's eardrums in an instant.
Perhaps because Chen Jing was the one who blew the whistle, he was very limited by the whistle, unlike the reaction of others.
Chen Bofu was strong and could bear it, but Wei Nan couldn't.
Almost instantly, she covered her ears with her hands, her expression became extremely painful, and even her irises reflected scarlet blood.
Chen Jing wanted to stop, or at least let Wei Nan go into the building to take shelter, but unfortunately, once the whistle was blown, it could not be stopped...
Even if Chen Jing held his breath and stopped blowing into the whistle, the stone whistle still rang with the disgusting sharp whistle.
At this moment.
The evening wind that had long since stopped suddenly whistled, but no matter how loud the wind was, it could not suppress the ominous whistle.
The distorted melody of the whistle seemed to have turned into an invisible dancer, presenting a series of strange dance postures under the pale light of the moon god Geheluo.
The crazy and manic musical notes seemed to have turned into some kind of Morse code connected to the ancient stars, blindly and recklessly leaving the whistle and flying straight into the sky...
In this chilling and unstoppable hateful whistle, Chen Jing heard the ancient chant again.
Or maybe it was a call.
That was what he had heard the last time he used the Yellow King Holy Grail...
...
"Forgotten in the Hali Lake of the Pleiades Sea..."
"The pathetic Baiaji is sleeping..."
"In the blank past where even death is killed..."
"The terrifying Baiaji is sleeping..."
"The Pleiades hear the whistle..."
"The divine horse will also revive..."
"The great Baiaji will eventually jump out of the dead Hali Lake..."
"Audience..."
"The lost prophet..."
...
Just as Chen Jing was listening carefully to these seemingly real and illusory chants, Chen Bofu's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes looked solemnly at the night sky.
"That's Baiaji?!"
Chapter 43 The divine horse killed by time
When the black spot that changed rapidly from small to large appeared in the sky, the chilling whistle finally stopped.
"Fuck...Fuck..." Wei Nan covered his ears tightly, gritting his teeth with a painful expression, "What the hell is that relic you took...I'm almost confused..."
"Sorry, sorry! Are you okay?!"
Chen Jing hurriedly put the whistle back into his pocket, his face was very panicked, and his heart was full of guilt.
He had never thought that the whistle would have such a big impact on others.
"I'm fine...I'll be fine after a while..." Wei Nan shook his head very stubbornly, and then rubbed his ears hard a few times, and the scarlet blood in his irises gradually dissipated.
"Here it comes..."
Chen Bofu suddenly said, looking up and staring at the black spot in the sky.
Even though he had witnessed it all with his own eyes, his words were still full of disbelief.
"It really came from the Pleiades..."
After saying that, Chen Bofu paused, as if he had discovered something again, and his expression became more and more puzzled.
"No... it just appeared suddenly... I saw it clearly... it was like it jumped to this place in an instant..."
"What is that?" Wei Nan felt a little better, and her expression was much more relaxed.
She looked up at the black spot like the old man, "It looks weird..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Nan seemed to notice something, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the top floor of the residential building, and then snorted disdainfully.
"That bird man is also watching the fun."
Chen Jing followed Wei Nan's gaze to the rooftop, only to see Yan Que sitting on the edge of the rooftop without fear of heights.
Under the hem of the Lolita skirt, two slender legs wrapped in white stockings were swaying in the wind.
Perhaps she noticed Chen Jing's gaze.
Yan Que lowered her head and hesitated for a moment, and finally waved her hand, as a greeting to Chen Jing.
"Sure enough, the friendship level is not brushed in vain..." Chen Jing also waved his hand in response, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
During the days when he helped Yan Que build the pigeon shed, Chen Jing also took the opportunity to contact her several times, and probably got to know this little girl who wore Lolita dresses all day long.
She was quiet and silent.
It's just like his replica in the real world.
Compared with Wei Nan's violent temper, Yan Que doesn't seem to like direct conflicts with others, at least she is much calmer than Wei Nan.
But this doesn't mean she is easy to get along with.
Like Chen Jing, Yan Que is a little too withdrawn in life.
In her boring daily life, Yan Que hardly leaves the room where she lives except going to the roof to see the big crow.
Chen Jing usually chats with her in the past few days, and Chen Jing is a little socially anxious, which leads to frequent silence when they are alone.
But overall... their relationship is okay.
At least they have evolved to the point where they can say hello when they meet.
"Why doesn't that thing come down?" Wei Nan asked, looking at the black spot circling in the sky.
"Try to blow the whistle again." Chen Bofu reminded him.
Chen Jing nodded: "Okay, then you cover your ears..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Nan had covered his ears and ran out in a flash.
But in the blink of an eye, she ran into the lobby on the first floor of the residential building.
"What the hell! Wait for me to get away!"
"..."
After Wei Nan hid in the lobby on the first floor and made an "OK" gesture, Chen Jing picked up the whistle and blew it slowly again.
I have to say.
Chen Bofu is indeed an old man.
His guess was right.
The black dot that was running around in the night sky like a headless fly swooped towards them at a very fast speed as soon as it heard the whistle...
In an instant.
The "black dot" landed silently in front of the grandfather and grandson, just a few feet away from Chen Jing.
Looking at the terrifying creature in front of him that seemed to appear in a nightmare, Chen Jing was stunned for a long time before he recovered.
"So this is Bai Aji..."
As Chen Jing had previously speculated based on the "divine horse", the so-called Bai Aji was indeed a horse...
However, this kind of deformed and twisted creature probably only has some physical characteristics that match the image of a "horse".
Baiaji looked like a winged deformed creature that combined the characteristics of a beast and a human.
The rotting horse head that revealed the white bones exuded the smell of burnt wood, and the human body with the internal structure of the abdominal cavity vaguely visible was slender and covered with pus, and the limbs were as muscular as those of a beast...
And Baiaji's hooves were not horse hooves, but more like the palms or claws of primates.
The five fingers were extremely slender, covered with dense black hair, and the sharp fingertips like cones were faintly shining with metallic luster. The lizard-like tail was covered with black scales.
But the most eye-catching thing was its wings.
Baiaji's wings were different from those of common birds. If you want to find a similar creature as a metaphor, perhaps its wings are more like the wings of a bat.
Compared with its body length of only five meters, its wingspan is very exaggerated. When the wings are stretched to the limit, it is about fifteen meters.
But...
Its wings don't look like the type that can fly.
Because its wings were covered with broken holes, and the wind would make strange rustling sounds, just like the plastic sheets on the banquet table that were pierced by children's fingers.
"This guy doesn't look right..." Chen Bofu gently pulled Chen Jing back a step, as if he didn't want Chen Jing to get too close to this creature.
That's right.
The moment he saw the full appearance of Bai Aji, Chen Bofu felt an inexplicable alert in his heart.
The monster in front of him, which seemed to be made up of countless biological tissues, reminded him of those polluted species that wandered in the depths of the wasteland and lived in the ruins of the past...
It looked hateful and extremely ugly.
It seemed that all the derogatory words in the world could be used to describe its existence.
Chen Bofu remembered very clearly that in those ancient records, Bai Aji was the most beautiful creature in the Pleiades, and it was also a divine horse that even gods admired.
But now...
He couldn't connect the terrifying creature in front of him with the legend in the records.
Would gods admire it?
Is it possible?
This is clearly a creature born to blaspheme the gods!
In Bai Aji's cat-like vertical pupils, Chen Bofu can clearly see what is hidden in its eyes.
That is more violent madness than the "polluted species" who have lost their minds.
"Did you summon it wrong?" Chen Bofu asked carefully, his eyes still vigilant, "Could this guy be a fake Bai Aji..."
"..."
"Jingjing, how about we summon it again?"
"..."
"Jingjing?"
