The years I was a birdman

Chapter 13 Test
The long night passed, and the two ushered in a new day, a sunless dawn.

The light of the bamboo forest also gradually faded, no longer shining, and the teapot in the distance seemed to be tired, stopped talking, and became like an ordinary teapot.

The two of them didn't sleep all night, because to be honest, although they didn't admit it far away, they were still afraid, afraid that if they closed their eyes again, all of this would disappear, and when they opened their eyes again, if they appeared in another place, they would be scared. Really will crash.

Silence, only those tireless bamboo leaves are left.

Gradually, the sky became bright, and although it was still gray, there was still no movement in the small bamboo house. After waiting for a while, Chen Tuan still did not come out, and the two looked at each other.

Li Lanying said: "Old Zhang... do you think that old lamp will become a skeleton again?"

Zhang Shifei shook his feathers, and then said, "I don't know...how about we go in and have a look?"

Li Lanying nodded, and then tiptoed into the dusty wooden house with Zhang Shifei. To be honest, Zhang Shifei was really afraid that the old lamp would turn into a skeleton again. Waking up is another matter.

Fortunately, upon seeing the bamboo bed in the room, Old Deng Chen Tuan was still gnashing his teeth and farting and falling asleep, the two of them felt relieved, and the next thing was a long wait.

It turned out that no matter what time they said no, their bodies were always honest. After the two walked out of the wooden house, they sat at the stone table again. Gradually, sleepiness came to their heads, and they fell asleep unconsciously.

This sleep was not very fragrant, and Zhang Shifei had a nightmare.

In the dream, he returned to his home, and everything seemed to have never happened, as if he had a girlfriend, but Zhang Shifei couldn't see his appearance clearly in the dream, but the dream was a dream after all. There is no need for a reason, the two look very happy together, but at some point, the environment of the dream has slowly changed.

Everything around has become so ferocious, the sky and the earth have turned red, scarlet and scarlet, just like lips that have just drunk blood, the surrounding scene seems to be on fire, so big, so big, it seems to be going They devoured everything, and a group of people appeared from nowhere, they also had no faces, and they chased after them brandishing things like forks. When, his girlfriend was actually taken away by those people, so Zhang Shifei shouted and chased after him. When his hand desperately grabbed his girlfriend's hand, her girlfriend suddenly seemed to have an appearance, but I still can't see clearly, but I can see her smile, which is so beautiful.

Then, his girlfriend actually yelled, but the yell was out of tune, it seemed to be howling like someone castrated, the voice was thick and obscene.

"what!!!!!!!!"

Zhang Shifei woke up with a start, only to hear Li Lanying yelling at the side: "Old Zhang, why are you so dishonest in your sleep, look at your dead chicken paw, I pinched it!"

Sure enough, Zhang Shifei found that his feet (claws) were clasped tightly on Li Lanying's buttocks. He was the one who was shouting his feelings just now. Zhang Shifei smiled awkwardly, then withdrew his paws and looked at the sky. It's already afternoon.

He flapped his wings and got up, and gradually became proficient in these series of movements. He said to Li Lanying: "Okay, I didn't mean it, and the old lamp is still awake?"

Li Lanying said angrily: "I was dreaming that I was practicing hugging with a little girl, and I was woken up by you. Tell me what kind of humanity you are, tell me that old..."

"Who is Old Deng?" Chen Tuan's voice suddenly came from the room, the two hurriedly looked, and sure enough, the old guy walked out of the room with sleepy eyes again.

Fatty Li saw that the old guy had come out, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "Didn't the old man come out?"

I saw that Chen Tuan seemed to be unable to wake up all the time, rubbing his eyes and said: "It's just a ghost screaming in the morning, which disturbs the old man's dream. I think the old man is... Forget it, you are ready." Is it gone?"

This old lamp must have had a dream, Zhang Shifei and Li Lanying thought viciously, is it still morning?It's almost night, but there's no way, who will be the boss?So they both nodded together and said: "Get ready, just say whatever you want to test us!"

I saw Chen Tuan yawned again and said: "Young man, don't agree so easily, you must know that the test is not easy?"

Fatty Li said vigorously: "Hurry up, there is nothing we can't do with us!"

Seeing that Zhang Shifei didn't speak, Chen Tuan took it as a tacit consent, then took out two purses from his sleeves, and handed them to the two respectively. When they were a little confused, he spoke: "This There is an exam question in each of the two purses, but I don't allow you to open it now, understand?"

The two nodded, and then Chen Tuan yawned and said: "It's good if you understand, then, listen to what I said carefully now, you walk into the bamboo forest now, one facing east and the other facing west, and it shouldn't be long before you will be on your own." When you see a red bamboo, open your purse at that time, and then go to find what I asked you to find, the deadline, just before the dark moon comes out, I will not accept those who have not completed it as an apprentice Yes, understand?"

Hearing what Chen Tuan said, Zhang Shifei asked, "Can I ask something?"

Chen Tuan nodded, and Zhang Shifei said, "If... if you can't become your apprentice, what will be the consequence? Stay here forever?"

Chen Tuan laughed out loud after hearing what Zhang Shifei said, and then said: "Young man, don't underestimate this land of Yingzhou. Since ancient times, only those who are about to become immortals can set foot on the pure land. It's not without mistakes. Those who crashed in, do you know what happened to them?"

Speaking of this, a frightening light suddenly appeared in his sleepy dead fish eyes, and he said lightly: "If any of you fails to complete, then there is only one end."

After finishing speaking, Chen Tuan sneered and raised his palm to wipe his neck. His action made Zhang Shifei and Li Lanying shudder. They swallowed unconsciously, and at the same time they began to feel nervous.

die?Will I die if I don't finish it?
Thinking of this, Zhang Shifei's heart beat slowly accelerated, just like when he was making a choice last night.

"However, here I want to say something more. If you give up now, I can consider making an exception and even sending you out. However, you will live in this body for the rest of your life, but this seems to be the case. It’s a good choice to save your life, I said my ugly words before, and I will do what I say.”

After all, the old guy suddenly raised his arm and pointed at the stone table, and saw the stone table shatter into pieces with a bang.

In the eyes of the two of them, all this was so frightening.

But both of them knew in their hearts that if they couldn't change back to their human form, even if they did, they would be better off dead.

However, knowing it all, she was still afraid, so Li Lanying forced a smile on her face and said to Zhang Shifei: "Old Zhang, are you shrugging?"

"Fuck off, you're the only one!" Zhang Shifei said.

Li Lanying said, "Then let's take it."

Zhang Shifei said: "Just pick it up, am I afraid of you?"

The two encouraged each other to cheer each other up in the form of bickering, and when Chen Tuan saw that the two agreed, he smiled and said: "Very good, you both agreed, then you two should start now, don't worry about it again." Open your purse before you get there, and, don't think I can't see, if you don't play by the rules I set, get out."

"Okay... okay, it's really long-winded."

The two complained, and then each walked into the bamboo forest. After looking at each other again, Zhang Shifei and Li Lanying walked back to back in two opposite directions.

It's just that they didn't notice at all that when they walked into the bamboo forest, the old lamp behind him showed an inexplicable smile.

Seeing that the two had walked into the deep bamboo forest, Chen Tuan breathed a sigh of relief, and saw him wave his hand at the broken stone table, and the broken stone table immediately returned to its original shape. Looking at the appearance, I saw Chen Tuan sitting on the ground with his elbows on it, dragging his cheeks, looking up at the sky, and then he said to himself: "In the end, who will it be?"

In the bamboo forest, Zhang Shifei jumped towards the west with small steps. For some reason, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and this premonition became stronger and stronger. This feeling was there just now, but it was not so strong. It must be because there is a fat man by his side, but now that he is left alone, this disgusting feeling will come to his heart, and there is no longer a trace of concealment.

The already slender little feet are now a little wobbly. The most disgusting thing is that the leaves of the broken bamboo forest keep making noises, which makes him more and more afraid. What kind of test will it be?How will Lao Deng test me?Will it be difficult?Will it be difficult?Will you die?
Zhang Shifei saw that the purse he was holding was trembling, and he knew that it was not the purse that was trembling, but himself.

Since he was walking in a straight line, it was very fast. About an hour later, Zhang Shifei saw a red bamboo, and here it was!
Zhang Shifei ran to the bottom of the bamboo. Although it wasn't that far, he was already gasping for breath when he stopped, because he knew that this was not so much an exam as a gambling.

The bet is your own life, so you must win! !

Thinking of this, Zhang Shifei took a deep breath, and then stretched his long mouth into the opening of the purse on the ground. He pecked at a note. After opening the note, he couldn't wait to look up. .

But at this sight, he was stunned, and then he felt the shock as if he had been struck by lightning, and the fear like a swamp abyss, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't say a word.

The little piece of paper fell to the ground, with only one line of black writing on it.

It clearly says 'I only accept one apprentice. '
