Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Double-pupil Bird

Qing...

Isn’t this the female demon who follows Bai Suzhen in the Legend of the White Snake...

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched. According to the various portrayals in later movies and TV shows, Qing is also very beautiful, but he does not need a beauty right now.

"Resummon."

Qin Jun thought helplessly, and at the same time, he said to Sun Wukong and the others, "Take me back directly, I don’t want to keep wandering around."

Sun Wukong nodded, grabbed Qin Jun’s shoulder, and vanished from the spot, with the pipa and the others closely following behind him.

The next second, Qin Jun was back in the grand hall of his residence.

He said to the pipa and the True Immortal of the Ruyi, "Find a room to settle down in, I’m going to rest first!"

Having said that, he walked toward a small path in the corner.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning the Black Mountain Old Demon from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. Would you like to resummon?"

The system’s prompt sounded again, causing Qin Jun to frown. The mythological stories from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio belonged to a low-level world of immortals and demons, and even the strongest villain, the Black Mountain Old Demon, was probably not very strong.

But it seems that the original Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio does not have the Black Mountain Old Demon, right?

"Resummon!"

Qin Jun said decisively, couldn’t there come some beings from myths like the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Huainanzi, or the Search for the Supernatural?

It has to be said that for later generations, Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods included most mythological characters, making famous immortals, demons, and monsters from these two classics well-known, but before them, there were many more mythological tales.

For instance, before Journey to the West emerged, the Heavenly Emperor was not known as the Jade Emperor. The earliest Heavenly Emperor worshiped by the Huaxia was Donghuang Taiyi.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning the Double-pupil Bird!"

The system prompt rang out again, startling Qin Jun. Why wasn’t there even an option to restore past life memories?

The Double-pupil Bird, he had heard of it, but did not know much about it.

"The Double-pupil Bird is one of the divine birds in Huaxia mythology. During the Chinese New Year, the Huaxia People paste pictures of chickens on doors and windows, which actually replicate the meaning of the Double-pupil Bird. There’s even a legend that one of the Five Emperors, Emperor Yao, was born of the Double-pupil Bird," the system explained.

Qin Jun suddenly realized that his knowledge about the Double-pupil Bird was superficial, only knowing that it resembled a chicken, its calls echoed that of a phoenix, and that it could drive away demons and monsters.

So the chicken images posted on doors and windows during the Chinese New Year originated from the Double-pupil Bird. He learned something new.

It was a pity that he could no longer celebrate the Chinese New Year since this world had no concept of it.

"Pull up the attribute list for the Double-pupil Bird and have a look."

By this time, Qin Jun had entered his own room. As he closed the door, he ordered in his mind.

No sooner had he spoken than the list of attributes appeared before his eyes:

"Double-pupil Bird, from mythology."

"Identity: Divine Bird!"

"Cultivation: Early stage of Mysterious Immortal Realm of Taiyi!"

"Divine Power: Exorcising Cry!"

"Special Attribute: Divine Bird’s Blessing (Can increase the owner’s qi movement)!"

"Loyalty: 100 (Max value 100)!"

Wow, it even has cultivation at the early stage of the Mysterious Immortal Realm of Taiyi.

Max loyalty!

And it can help him increase his qi movement!

Qin Jun felt secretly thrilled inside. Qi movement is such an enigma, and it is incredibly hard to increase one’s qi movement. Although he is the Holy Emperor of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, because his reign has been unified for too short a time, he can’t yet feel the qi movement of the Heavenly Court.

The more qi movement he had, the luckier he would be in the future. The greater his chances of encountering opportunities, and the easier it would be to summon stronger beings.

"Speaking of which, has this Double-pupil Bird already reached the pinnacle of mythology?" Qin Jun curiously asked himself.

He had already accumulated three chances at the God and Demon pinnacle and was in a dilemma, not knowing whom to let use it.

He dared not use it on those too powerful, yet using it on those too weak would waste the opportunity.

The Double-pupil Bird emerged with full loyalty; he couldn’t help but feel excited.

"Unclear, perhaps not, because the Double-pupil Bird is an ancient mythical bird, with numerous legends and beliefs surrounding it," the system answered ambiguously.

In the end, Qin Jun decided to wait and see when the Double-pupil Bird arrived.

Afterward, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice his cultivation.

Having broken through to the second layer of the True Immortal Realm, his magical power had surged considerably and needed to be regulated.

...

The death of Divine Wuji did not cause any disturbances, as Zun Rudao had sealed the information, even the elders were unaware.

A day passed swiftly.

At noon the next day, while Qin Jun was cultivating inside his room, he suddenly heard a phoenix cry. Instinctively opening his eyes, he saw a magnificent bird phase through the wall and enter. It resembled a gigantic rooster with its multicolored, lustrous feathers, more divine than any poultry. Those seeing it for the first time would definitely be astounded, especially by its most peculiar trait—each of its eyes had two pupils.

It rapidly landed in front of Qin Jun, tilting its head and looking at him. The bird’s four pupils fixated on Qin Jun, instilling an inexplicable trepidation in his heart.

The Double-pupil Bird!

Qin Jun beckoned to the Double-pupil Bird, for with its full loyalty, he had no fear of it attacking him.

How could a Mysterious Immortal Realm divine bird be so small?

Curiosity filled Qin Jun’s heart as he observed the Double-pupil Bird, which stood less than half a meter tall. Responding to his gesture, the bird hopped onto his shoulder and gently touched his face with its beak.

"Can you speak?" Qin Jun asked curiously.

But the Double-pupil Bird did not answer him; it simply kept nuzzling him affectionately.

It was then that he understood why the system had no need to restore its previous life’s memories.

Not all creatures grow wiser as their cultivation advances.

Just then, the pipa suddenly appeared in the room, asking in a grave tone, "There was a presence just now..."

But when she laid eyes on the Double-pupil Bird, she widened her eyes in terror, her beauty draining from her face as she screamed, "Chicken..."

The next second, she vanished on the spot.

Qin Jun was stunned. What in the world...

He suddenly remembered that the pipa’s nemesis, the Hairy Head Official, was a gigantic rooster. Could it be that scorpion demons have a fear of chickens?

He couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, instinctively reaching out to pat the Double-pupil Bird’s head, chuckling, "You are no chicken, you’re a divine bird."

The Double-pupil Bird standing on his shoulder made him feel as light as a feather, even his body seemed lighter, bizarre indeed.

"From now on, you will follow me!" Qin Jun said with a smile as he stroked its feathers, the more he looked at the Double-pupil Bird, the more he liked it.

Because it was so majestic!

And so, Qin Jun no longer cultivated but instead began to play with the Double-pupil Bird inside the room.

...

Time passed quickly.

The calm could not last forever, and after two hurried days, the tranquility was finally broken on an early morning.

"You crawling creatures of the God Temple, get out here for me!"

An extremely arrogant voice sounded, causing Qin Jun, who was in the midst of practicing, to abruptly open his eyes.

Wasn’t that the voice of the Six-Eared Macaque?

The Double-pupil Bird on his shoulder also opened its eyes, and promptly, he rose and stepped out of the room.

At the same time, the entire God Temple was startled by the voice of the Six-Eared Macaque.

Outside the God Temple castle, the Six-Eared Macaque stood upon the clouds with an iron rod in hand, his face bearing a contemptuous smile. Not far behind him was a massive spatial tear, suggesting he had charged in by ripping through the space directly.

Zun Rudao quickly flew out from the God Temple. Seeing the Six-Eared Macaque, he frowned, as he instinctively thought of Sun Wukong.

Indeed, the Six-Eared Macaque bore a striking resemblance to Sun Wukong but with an added touch of cunning.

"Who are you!" Zun Rudao demanded sternly. Though the intruder, like him, was in the early stages of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, his aura made Zun Rudao’s heart pound with fear.
