Chapter 132: Miao Yin Bird?

  "Happy?"

  The mind sinks into the sea of consciousness, in the midst of the music bureau, the music has already transformed into a human figure, urgently calling out to Xiao Yun.

  "Xiao Yun, catch it quickly!" Lele said excitedly to Xiao Yun.

  "What's wrong?"

  Xiao Yun was somewhat taken aback, usually when she called out to her like this, the little girl wouldn't have any reaction, so why did she suddenly appear now and seem so excited, had she discovered something good?

  "That bird! The one that just flew past you!" Lele exclaimed.

  "What bird?"

  Kan Lele was so excited, and Xiao Yun was even more confused, in the dark forest, he had just discovered nothing, where did the bird come from?

  "Infinite Buddha Ancestor's Wonderful Sound Divine Bird!" Lele Xia had a matter of great importance.

  "Miao Yin Shen Niao?"

  Xiao Yun was stunned, Wu Liang Buddha is the ancestor of Buddhism, commonly known as Amitabha Buddha.

  On earth, Xiaoyun had also heard the legend of this bird. It was said that under the Buddha's throne, there was a divine bird named Kalavinka, also known as the Bird of Beautiful Sound or the Bird of Wonderful Sound. With a human head and a bird's body, its feathers were mottled, producing wondrous sounds, like those from heaven or humans. This bird originally came from Snow Mountain, and it could sing in its shell, its sound harmonious and elegant, leaving listeners enchanted, even the Buddhist heavenly musician, Gandharva, acknowledged that he was no match for it.

  "Are you sure there's no mistake? Is there a wonderful bird in this forest?" Xiao Yun heard the words and was also slightly excited.

  Lele rolled her eyes, "I wouldn't be mistaken, it must be the Miao Yin bird, hurry up and catch it!"

  "What's there to catch? Where can we catch anything? It's so dark in the woods!" Xiao Yun heard this and looked around at the pitch-black and quiet surroundings, and indeed felt helpless.

  "You're really helpless!" Lele pouted in displeasure, pointing casually with her finger. A stream of light flew out from between her fingers and merged into the Seven-Tone Divine Image.

  Xiao Yun suddenly froze, his two eyes wide open, as if Ye Lan were standing in front of him at this moment, he would definitely see Xiao Yun's two pupils shining brightly, and for a moment, countless notes seemed to be flowing gently within them.

  A burst of information exploded in Xiao Yun's mind, her brain rapidly processing and absorbing the knowledge that Lele had imparted to her.

  "The Seven Stages of Essence Spectrum, the Small Bright Buddha's Tune, can be used to see at night!" It was a good half day before Lele finally spoke up to Xiao Yun.

  Xiao Yun came back to his senses, and he had already understood the score that Lele gave him. It was a Buddhist miscellaneous tune, which could grant him a pair of wise eyes, like fire eyes and golden pupils, with the ability to see through the true form of monsters.

  However, Lele only gave himself a seven-tiered spectrum, not the original spectrum, and could only see things at night like daytime viewing.

  "Xiao Gege, what's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Yun not speaking for half a day, Ye Lan still thought that Xiao Yun was feeling down because he didn't catch the Ningsong, and couldn't help but ask.

  "Never mind, wait for me!"

  Xiao Yun snapped back to reality, remembering Lele's mention of the Miao Yin bird, and after uttering a sentence, he walked forward.

  Taking a few steps forward, Xiao Yun's mind stirred, and strange notes floated out of the Seven Sound Divine Image, quickly gathering into an eye-like virtual shadow. The melody enveloped her body, and as she opened her eyes, it seemed as if she had entered another world.

  The surroundings were no longer dark, but unusually bright. Every blade of grass and every tree in the forest was clearly visible, with each leaf and branch standing out distinctly. Turning back to look, Ye Lan and Zhuo Zhu stood not far away, looking around cautiously. Ye Lan's hands were still groping in the air, like a blind person who had just opened their eyes, softly calling out for Xiao Yun.

  "I might know why there are fewer insects in the forest, you two stay here and don't move, I'll go take a look!" Xiao Yun said to the two of them, and walked straight into the depths of the forest.

  Ye Lan and the other person were puzzled, but because they couldn't see anything, they could only wait in place.

  ——

  The forest is of unknown size, with trees densely packed together. As far as the eye can see, there are wisps of thin fog swirling around them. The only sound is the crunching of dry leaves underfoot. There is no other noise, just an eerie stillness. Dry vines hang down from the big trees like giant pythons lurking in the forest, giving off a mysterious and chilling aura.

  "How could it be?" Linzi had been searching for half a day in the forest, but still hadn't seen any sign of the Miao Yin bird. He couldn't help but suspect that Lele was playing a trick on him.

  Lè Lè said discontentedly, "Who told you to react so slowly? If it were me, I would have flown away long ago."

  "What's to be done now?" Xiao Yun wiped his sweat, could he blame himself for this?

  Lele thought for a moment and said, "The Miao Yin divine bird is rare in the world, there's only one under the vast sky. Since you've bumped into it, I won't let you go easily. You exit first, I'll teach you a method, come back tomorrow night, and you'll definitely catch it."

  "Good!"

  Xiao Yun nodded directly and turned back, Lelai said so definitely, there must be a way. Xiao Yun trusted her words very much, although she was just a little girl.

  ——

  After a night of struggling, the three people came out of the old ghost forest with nothing to gain. At this time, there was already a hint of white in the sky, and it would be dawn in another hour or two.

  An old devil outside a flat land, three people sat on the ground, lit up a bonfire, and Zhuo Zhu couldn't help but wonder, facing Xiao Yun, "Xiao brother, you just said you knew why the life insects in the old devil forest were getting fewer and fewer?"

  "Ah, yes, Xiao Da Ge, where did you just go?"

  The firewood in the bonfire crackled and popped loudly, and under the illumination of the flames, Ye Lan also had a curious expression on her face.

  Xiao Yun paused for a moment and said, "Just now something flew past me. I think that in the old ghost forest Lin, apart from the life insects, there should be other animals!"

  The two were stunned, and Shu Zhuo said, "Xiao brother, you mean to say that there's something in the woods preying on living insects?"

  Xiao Yun nodded slightly, "Very likely!"

  Although the words did not explicitly state it, this remark was enough to shock Ye Lan and Zhuo Zhu, although he had not seen the Miao Yin bird with his own eyes, Le Le had seen it. If the Miao Yin bird really existed in the old ghost forest, it is very likely that it was the culprit behind the near extinction of the old ghost forest's insects.

  The fate worm grows in the old ghost forest, and there are basically no other living things in the forest. It can be said that the fate worm is completely growing without any natural enemies, and the population will only slowly grow stronger, not weaker. Now that this situation has presented itself, it's highly likely that a natural enemy has invaded, and that Miao Yin bird is of course the most suspicious.

  Ye Lan and Zhuo Zhu's mouths grew wide, clearly shocked by Xiao Yun's words. They were stunned for a long time before Zhuo Zhu spoke up, "If something is really capturing the life insects, then we're in big trouble. It seems like we need to go back and tell the clan leader, let him and the elders thoroughly investigate the old ghost forest."

  Thinking about the sudden disappearance of those few worms that didn't make sense, Zhuo Zhu also felt that they were preyed upon by something. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. The worms were the foundation of Tongtian Village's inheritance, and if there really was a natural enemy in the forest, then for the worms' inheritance, it would undoubtedly be a huge hidden danger and threat.

  "No need!" Xiao Yun wouldn't let Zhuo Zhu return to find someone, if Ye Changqing and the others came, how would he catch the Miao Yin bird? He immediately interrupted Zhuo Zhu's words and said, "This back-and-forth trip will take a lot of effort. Let me prepare for now, and tomorrow night we'll enter the forest again. We'll definitely be able to catch that thing."

  "Xiao Da Ge, what is that thing? Did you see it?" Ye Lan said.

  Xiao Yun shook her head, "It's so dark in the forest, how can I see clearly?"

  "Alright, let's try again tomorrow night. I want to see what kind of thing dares to cause trouble in Old Ghost Forest."

  For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, and Ye Lan and Zhuo Zhu's hearts were like pressing a cloud of darkness. If Xiao Yun's words were true, something really threatened the existence of Ming Chong, for them, waiting for another minute was torture.

  "Xiao Gege, what do we need to prepare?" Ye Lan asked. No matter what was threatening the Nian insects, they had to get rid of it in order to eliminate future troubles; otherwise, the insect clan's heritage would be worried about.

  "After a sleepless night, let's take a nap first, and talk about it when daylight comes!" said Xiao Yun.

  Whether there is a natural enemy of the fate worm in the forest, they are not sure yet. After all, every year the elders will come several times, and no one has ever found anything. If they just go back to report like this, it would be bad for Ye Changqing and others to make a trip for nothing.

  Ye Lan and the other person calmed down a bit, planning to go again tomorrow night to get to the bottom of things.
