"Then, is it the divine bird that calmed down the anger of Gulardo and Kioka?" the beloved asked.

"The one who calmed down the anger of the two legendary Pokémon was the sky dragon known as the sky dragon, but under the attack of landslides, hurricanes and tsunamis, it was the divine bird I mentioned that protected the ancestors."

Hearing the red-haired girl's explanation, the lover was not surprised. The only thing that could stop Gulardo and Gaioka from fighting was probably only Rikakuza.

As for the magical bird the girl mentioned, my husband was filled with doubts.

"This divine bird, could it be the Phoenix King? However, in the legends and stories of the Phoenix King who is active in the Chengdu area, and the Phoenix King, the only divine beast in the world, must have its own duties and territory. It is impossible to run around so leisurely. Go to Fangyuan Continent to protect the ancient human race."

"Is it a mythical beast or an extinct bird Pokémon that has fallen in ancient times?"

As the darling of this world, the power possessed by the divine beast is unpredictable, and it may not be so easy to perish. Liangren believes in this ordinary bird Pokémon whose strength is so strong that it has already touched the threshold of low-level divine beasts.

"Is the Divine Bird Festival a sacrificial celebration that is passed down to thank the sacred bird for its protection?" Seeing that the girl was lost in thought, the beloved asked again.

"Basically, under the protection of the divine bird, the ancestors who migrated to this area officially settled down.

Although everyone has no blood relationship and no common surname, their gratitude to the bird and their love for the bird Pokémon are the same.

The Divine Bird Festival is indeed a celebration of worshiping and thanking the sacred bird, according to the description in the literature of our bird trainer's lineage.

At first, the sacred bird would even show up during sacrifices to celebrate with the ancestors, but later the sacred bird stopped appearing, and no one has ever seen a trace of the sacred bird again.”

For a tribe that has been passed down for thousands of years, there is always only one thing that keeps it cohesive, and that is the sense of identity with its own national culture.

Seeing the look on the lively girl's face, my husband was quite moved.

"I don't know when, the corpses of the deceased ancestors began to be sent to the forest where the divine bird once lived for sky burial.

The bird Pokémon companions of the deceased ancestors also entered that forest to continue their lives. The once sacred bird forest slowly turned into the current Forest of Elders. "

"As time goes by, more and more people are sky-buried in the Forest of Elders, and more and more bird elders remain and continue to live. Although the sacred birds never show up at the Divine Bird Festival held every five years, But the thousands of bird elders in the Forest of Elders will sing together.

And every time that time comes, a mirage-like divine bird phantom will miraculously appear in the sky above the Sacrifice and Celebration Square. As long as the bird Pokémon feels grateful and awe-inspiring, and flies hard towards the divine bird phantom, it will eventually be blessed by the divine bird. blessing.

This is why the Bird Festival is a carnival for all bird Pokémon trainers. "

After explaining the history of the bird trainers in Yinyu City and the origin of the Bird Festival, the red-haired girl turned her head and looked at her husband who was deep in thought, her pretty face full of expectation.

"What is the blessing of that divine bird?" Hearing that it is beneficial, the beloved who had the right to listen to the story at the beginning became more active.

"How do you say blessings? This varies from person to person. Every bird Pokémon that participates in the sacrificial ceremony will receive different blessings in the end.

But it can be roughly divided into several categories:

One is to cleanse the mind, and the Pokémon will become more intelligent.

The second is to help Pokémon understand new skills and moves, or improve the perception of the use of skills.

The third type is more special, it is to let Pokmon inherit a will. "

After listening to Liu Hong's explanation, the beloved was also very surprised. According to his understanding, the so-called divine bird phantom should be a carrier of some kind of spirit.

During the doomsday disaster in ancient times, the divine bird protected An, the ancestors of the bird tamer's lineage. Although the divine bird later disappeared, the gratitude and respect of the bird tamer's lineage for this divine bird did not diminish.

Whether it is the people who are sent to the sky burial in the sacred bird forest, the elders of the birds who continue to live in the forest, or the bird trainers who live in Yinyu City, they always believe in the legendary sacred bird.

I firmly believe that whether they live in the world or return to the ruins after death, the divine bird will always protect them. With such a strong spiritual will, it is not surprising that a phantom of the divine bird that can bless is born.

As for why there is a real blessing effect, I guess it may be related to the thousands of bird Pokémon in the Forest of Elders described by Liu Hong.

As a carrier of will and belief, it is no problem to release a little spiritual energy to help Pokémon gain wisdom.

And helping Pokmon to understand new skills is probably a gift from Pokmon living or dead in the Elder Forest.

As for the third kind of blessing Liu Hong mentioned, inheriting a certain will, it sounds a bit mysterious, but according to the previous logic, it is also a spiritual gift.

"According to the elders in my family, although the Pokémon in my hand can participate in the celebration unlimited times, the blessings I get in the end are actually related to the strength and talent of the Pokémon.

The higher the strength talent, whether it is the first or the second blessing, will get more than the Pokmon with low strength talent, but the will to inherit a Pokmon can only inherit one life. "

Seeing him pondering and not speaking, the red-haired girl explained to herself again that Liu Hong seemed to have no defense against her beloved whom she had just known for less than a day, and told him all the mysteries that many people didn't know.

"What exactly is this will? It feels very special." My beloved asked doubtfully.

"Well - how should I put it? The elders in my family said that when the strength of a Pokémon reaches level 50, the liquid power in the body condenses and transforms into a solid state, which means it has touched the threshold of the Heavenly King level, and will is the key to entering the Heavenly King level."

Seeing that her beloved had doubts, Liu Hong didn't hold back and told him what she knew.

"Condensation of liquid power at level 50 and transforming into a solid state is to touch the threshold of the Heavenly King level, and is "will" the key to entering the Heavenly King? "

Hearing Liu Hong's words, the lover's expression suddenly became serious, this message was too important for him, this is the mystery of breaking through the Heavenly King level.

"Speaking of which, I am not a local, nor am I one of your Yinyu City bird trainers. Can I also participate in the Divine Bird Festival?"

After listening to the benefits Liu Hong said, it was definitely a lie that her husband was not moved.

Half a month ago at the Gorgeous Conference in Shuijing City, the battle of Tongyuanzhi made him and the Pokémon at hand understand the gap between himself and the real strong.

After training in the dangerous rainforest for a period of time, Bi Diao is now level 40, Slowpoke is level 39, and Armored Shell is level 38.

He still has a long way to go from the veteran king like Genji, but with the help of the system, it is not too difficult for Bi Diao, Slow Beast, and Iron Armor to reach the quasi-king level 50.

If you are lucky enough to inherit a will at this sacred bird festival ceremony of the bird tamer lineage, then Bi Diao will have a smooth road to the heavenly king level in the future.

"Of course you can participate. Our lineage of bird trainers is not as closed-minded and exclusive as those inherited clans. For the Sacred Bird Festival held every five years, all trainers who have bird Pokémon in their hands can participate."

Seeing that her husband was worried, Liu Hong explained with a smile, dispelling his worries.

"..."

After the two chatted for a while about the sacred bird festival sacrifice, Liu Hong did not forget her husband's business, and called Na Qi to ask about the gymnasium battle.

"Sister Naqi said that you can accept your gymnasium battle, but you have to wait until the celebration of the Bird Festival is over."

"That's it." The beloved man was not disappointed when he received the reply.

The Divine Bird Festival is a grand event held only every five years in Yinyu City. As the gym leader, Naqi must have been very busy during this time.

The other party, who had been closed for half a month, was willing to take time out to accept his gym challenge after the Divine Bird Festival. My beloved was already satisfied, and he also wanted to participate in the Divine Bird Festival celebration.

"By the way, dear brother, my elder brother just came back from the "Forest of the Elders" experience this afternoon, would you like to have a battle with my elder brother, my elder brother is very strong~"

When her husband didn't speak, Liu Hong thought he was a little disappointed because he couldn't start the gym challenge right away. Thinking that her elder brother happened to be back today, she couldn't help but suggest it enthusiastically.

"Your elder brother?" He turned his head and glanced at the lively girl next to him, feeling a little confused.

"The "Forest of the Elders" is the resting place of the dead, and it is also a place where the elders of the birds live in seclusion. Usually, no matter whether they are clansmen or outsiders, they are not allowed to enter and disturb them. "

"Only after the five-year period has expired, before the Sacred Bird Festival is held, each family in the clan will send a team of juniors under the age of 18 to enter the "Forest of the Elders" barefoot in traditional costumes to perform grave sweeping ceremonies. bye. "

"My eldest brother is the "sacrificial head" of this year's tomb-sweeping team. He led the other thirty descendants of the clan into the Forest of Elders half a month ago. Today is the day for the tomb-sweeping team to return. "

"Oh~ I heard that the younger generations who enter the "Forest of Elders" to visit their graves before the Divine Bird Festival celebration will receive much more blessings from the Divine Bird during the celebration than others. "Having said this, Liu Hong, who was originally looking happy, couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh~" The beloved replied lightly.

Liu Hong's words made him more convinced of his guess. The so-called divine bird phantom should be the product of the spiritual belief of the bird trainer, and the blessing is a gift from the thousands of birds in the forest of elders.

"Since there are such benefits, why don't you participate? Can each household only send one grave-sweeping representative?" the beloved asked curiously.

"No, according to the rules set by the clan, only boys can enter the "Forest of the Elders" to visit graves. "Liu Hong was very upset about the clan's rule of 'preferring boys over girls'.

"So that's the case." The good man nodded.

It seems that the lineage of the bird trainer seems to be open, but as a force that has lasted for thousands of years, the clan also has some closed characteristics like other inherited clans.

After all, the bloodline, inheritance, and continuation of a clan... In some closed traditional concepts, it is often directly linked to the succession of the man's family, and the status of women who will marry out is often lower.

"I'll call some good girlfriends first, how about we go to see the return of tomb sweeping together later?" Liu Hong, who was depressed for a while, regained her liveliness in a blink of an eye.

"Okay~" The advantage of traveling is that you can learn about various local customs and customs. Now that you have such an opportunity, your beloved will naturally not refuse it.
