Bearing the blue sky

Am I already dead?

Zhu Ge was taken aback, instinctively feeling that it was absurd and impossible.

But in an instant, he realized that Hua Xiaomei wasn't talking about him, but rather "Zhu Ge".

Original owner!

This made Zhu Ge immediately realize that Hua Xiaomei must have figured something out!

only……

He clearly saw Hua Xiaomei and her mother being buried underground back then, so how did they come back to life?

Is Hua Xiaomei the key to breaking through this crisis?

At that moment, Hua Xiaomei turned her tall figure around and walked into the distance, singing loudly:

"Little sparrow, so many feathers, blow them into your mouth and it tickles, sing a lie song and laugh heartily."

"Yesterday I saw a tiger laying eggs, and today I saw a cricket moving its nest~"

"1, 3, 5, 7, 9; 2, 4, 6, 7, 8~"

"Everyone loves to eat babies, skinning them, cutting their throats, and eating them raw. They eat three thousand raw skulls a day. Pregnant women especially love it when they eat the meat and eggs. The meat and eggs are even better!"

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten~"

Hua Xiaomei sang a song, the tune of which was as simple as "A flock of ducks swims across the bridge in front of the door".

However, its content was extremely terrifying, sending chills down Zhu Ge's spine.

Meanwhile, his parents, who were not far away, stiffly turned their heads and continued farming.

"Hua Xiaomei is dead. What we were just having was hysteria." The father's voice was deep and hoarse. "Her singing was awful."

Zhu Ge said in a deep voice, "Yes, this is hysteria."

Hysteria?

It's not hysteria.

Zhu Ge had no idea whether Hua Xiaomei was there to help him, or a servant of God, or even to "steal food" from God.

We can only assume for now that they came to help him.

Wait a minute… Zhu Ge suddenly narrowed her eyes.

If she came to help him, why would she do so in the guise of Hua Xiaomei?

Regardless of who came to help, the fact that they chose to show a dead person means that the key lies with Hua Xiaomei.

Several key points have already been identified.

The chirping of insects that "woke him up" last night.

A hen crows at dawn.

Hua Xiaomei appeared out of nowhere.

And Hua Xiaomei's nursery rhymes.

And Hua Xiaomei's own identity.

There were many anomalies... Zhu Ge frowned in thought.

There's no clue as to the matter of the insect chirping.

The crowing of a hen requires him to check if other creatures, such as wild dogs, also have males to determine if it is abnormal.

Besides that, the hope of destroying the "god's" nest probably rests on the appearance of Hua Xiaomei.

"What kind of message was that nursery rhyme sending me?"

Savor the song carefully.

The first line is: Little sparrow, so many feathers, blow them into your mouth and it tickles, sing a lie song and laugh.

The little sparrow has a lot of feathers, and if they fall into its nose or mouth, it will itch, so it wants to sing to make itself laugh.

This is not something difficult to understand, but we don't know what the deeper meaning is, so we'll leave it aside for now.

However, does "The Lying Song" mean that this nursery rhyme is about lying?

Lying means not conforming to the truth.

It might be the exact opposite, or it might be similar, or it might be completely unrelated; in short, it's inconsistent.

But if they were completely unrelated, then Hua Xiaomei wouldn't have appeared.

Therefore, the situations represented by the following nursery rhymes are either the opposite of reality or similar to reality.

"Yesterday I saw a tiger laying eggs, and today I saw a cricket moving its nest."

Mountain King?

The Shuowen Jiezi (a dictionary of Chinese characters) states: "The tiger is the chief of mountain beasts, hence it is called the Mountain Lord."

But tigers are mammals, so laying eggs shouldn't be an option.

However, this sentence may be expressing other meanings, such as the mountain king having a child.

This reminded Zhu Ge of a saying she had heard in her previous life.

To act as an accomplice to evil!

"The tiger lays an egg...the tiger..."

Zhu Ge couldn't help but look at her "parents" beside her.

If a living being were to become a god, there might be some other unusual phenomena or abilities.

But what if a tiger dies and its spirit condenses into a god?

Tiger God!

Is the Tiger God's power such that it can turn beings whose divinity has been taken by Him into accomplices, thus giving them an appearance no different from ordinary people?

The 'Chang' might be the egg laid by the mountain lord mentioned in the nursery rhyme!

"Changgui... Changgui..."

Zhu Ge pondered the title, trying hard to maintain inner peace.

Fortunately, he didn't reveal his abnormality at first.

These people whose gods have been taken away have become accomplices!

If this tiger god can share the vision and hearing of his accomplices, then his concealment becomes very necessary.

"It might not be the Tiger God..." Zhu Ge felt her mind was in complete chaos, so she could only continue analyzing the nursery rhyme.

Because there was so little information, he felt that many of the analyses were far-fetched.

Whether numbers like "one, two, three, four, five, two, four, six, seven, eight" have any meaning is unknown, but it's difficult to determine at present.

The next line after "Yesterday I saw the tiger lay its eggs" is "Today I saw the crickets move their nests again".

Zhu Ge felt that the "cricket" might be related to the "insect chirping" last night.

As for the next sentence?

Everyone loves to eat babies, skinning them, cutting off their throats, and eating them raw. They eat three thousand raw skulls a day, and pregnant women especially love to eat their flesh and eggs.

Just thinking about that sentence makes Zhu Ge feel a sense of bloodshed and cruelty.

This is the world today!

"The weeds are done."

Just then, his father's voice came: "I'll stay here and watch over things. You all go back and rest."

Zhu Ge looked outside.

Their fields were dry, without water, and they grew sweet potatoes.

The ground was covered with weeds.

However, considering that her father was mentally challenged, Zhu Ge understood.

"Let's go back," the mother said, gesturing to Zhuge as they walked back.

Zhu Ge immediately followed, her heart pounding.

opportunity!

Find the opportunity to destroy the Tiger God's dwelling place!

"Information, we must obtain enough information!"

Zhu Ge knew that the information she currently possessed was far too limited.

We need to gather enough information to determine where the Tiger God resides before we can destroy it.

His time won't be long, probably only a day.

After all, in just one or two days, the tiger god had taken the gods from most of the households in the village.

It wouldn't take too much time to take away the spirits from all the remaining households.

His mind is completely blank right now and he just wants to sleep, so he can't think about much.

The best approach is to acquire as much information as possible, and then, when the time is right, equip the "Kunpeng" and process all of this information at once.

Based on the usage of Kunpeng last night, the "Kunpeng" trait is at least equivalent to the three traits of "calmness", "detachment" and "rapid thinking".

Calmness and quick thinking allow him to calm down and quickly organize and consider information.

Transcendence, on the other hand, allows his soul to leave his body.

A unique trait is essentially a collection of many traits!

If it weren't for the limited time she could wear it, Zhu Ge would want to wear it every day.

That feeling of being several times more clear-headed and quick-witted than before is amazing!

As she was thinking, Zhu Ge had already reached the edge of the village.

At that moment, several people were returning from the foot of the mountain not far away.

"Hey! Isn't that Zhu Ge? Finished your work? Come lend a hand!"

Six people, carrying a large tree stump that had been cut down, walked with difficulty.

The leader was a burly man with a sinister grin on his face.

"If you don't come and lend a hand, I'll take your mother away during the mushroom festival in a few days! Haha!"
