Chapter 5: Cloudy sky, covering eyes, losing feathers

Chapter 5 Yuntian, covering his eyes, losing his feathers...

【It is difficult to change fate, life and death are determined by one’s heart. 】

[In your second life, you were born in a duck shed of a fisherman's family by the Minjiang River.]

【After a month, you break out of your shell. 】

[In the second month, you began to thrive, and there were seven small and five big ducks around you, a total of twelve ducks.]

[You discovered that the person feeding him every day was a lonely fisherman...]

"Since the fate hasn't changed, there isn't much difference from the first life?" Song Lin observed silently from the perspective of a little duck.

[In the third month, you are becoming more mature, and you start to exercise and spread your wings. ]

[You often look up at the sky...as if you have realized something.]

“This one appears again.”

Song Lin felt that it was probably his "bird watching" fate that played a role.

Compared with Lingchong's fate, the annotations of this fate are more mysterious and make people a little confused.

"The emergence of the 'Duck Killing' fate should have played a crucial role in the bird-watching fate." Song Lin deduced in his mind.

[Your silly look attracted the fisherman's attention.]

[With the fisherman's feeding, you are stronger than in your first life. ]

[One day, a crisis came and the fisherman caught an old duck. ]

[The second day, the third day…]

Song Lin knew it was time for him to intervene.

[In early April, you couldn't hold back the urge in your heart and took a leap.]

The river wind howls.

The somewhat unreal world suddenly became extremely real.

"quack--"

Song Lin flapped his wings and landed steadily on the ground.

In this life, he is no longer the fool he was in his previous life!
"It's you, stupid duck."

The fisherman's hoarse voice rang out.

"Gah-"

The ducks outside the duck shed tilted their heads to look at Sun Er and gave a soft cry, without showing any fear at all.

This surprised Sun Er a little.

Looking at the duck in front of him, his eyes were dazed for a moment.

in memory.

Many years ago, on the bank of the Minjiang River, there was also a duck and a young child who could not even walk steadily.

"Second brother, look, look..."

The child wiped his face with the back of his hand, leaving a horizontal mud mark. But he proudly raised his head and pointed at the stupid gray-haired teal behind him: "Look at my duck guardian... It's so powerful, it's not afraid of people at all, it can fly, and it can protect me! Awesome, isn't it?"

"sharp."

"San'er, you are so awesome..." said Sun Er, who was nine years old at the time.

[In early April, we first met the Minjiang River. ]

[In the refreshing river breeze, the fisherman Sun Er put you back into the duck shed. ]

[That night, you sneaked into the hut and learned the Gluttonous Food Record. Smelling the gurgling stove, you did not steal the bighead carp meat. You wrote down the contents of the Gluttonous Food Record and put it back in its place.]

[After that, every time it was late at night and everyone was asleep, you would always strike some special poses.]

"You actually started practicing?"

Song Lin was surprised.

【Life returns to normal.】

[Sun Er gets the help of the bighead carp and continues to practice the gluttonous eating 100 qi diagram, and no longer eats the remaining duck. ]

[You often went out of the duck shed, followed Sun Er to fish, or wandered alone on the surface of the Minjiang River. Gradually, you learned to catch fish and shrimp and support yourself.]

[Sun Er gradually got used to your presence, and his eyes occasionally showed a hint of warmth when he looked at you. He had no defense against a duck, and often opened the gluttony record in front of you to comprehend the gluttony 100 Qi diagram...]

[When his Qi and blood were insufficient, Sun Er would hold a fish-cutting knife and practice the nameless sword technique by the Minjiang River. You would find that he would toss and turn, and it seemed that he only knew one sword technique.]

【Bird-watching fate is activated.】

[You are naturally observant and spiritual, and can comprehend some wonderful artistic conceptions. ]

[You watched the foolish man practice swordplay day and night, and gradually realized a hint of the mysterious meaning.]

[An ordinary fisherman, ordinary knife skills... The cruel knife light seemed to contain endless killing intent and full of thoughts of revenge...]

【June.】

[You finally understand that Sun Er's swordsmanship is indeed mediocre, and even only has one incomplete move. The magic is not the sword, but this person! ]

[He repeated this incomplete sword technique thousands of times, infusing it with his lifelong faith, shedding its ordinary essence and gaining magical power.]

[With a sincere heart, you will achieve great success. The magic of the Minghuang fate is revealed here.] [You tried to learn the nameless sword technique, but encountered obstacles.]

【In July, you gain nothing.】

【In August, you gain nothing.】

[In March of the following year, you still had nothing to show for it, and you began to feel like giving up. How could a duck without arms use the knife skills invented by humans?]

[The swordsmanship of the bright yellow fate cannot be learned by the blazing white fate.]

[As time went by, the fisherman Sun Er practiced day and night without stopping, coming and going, over and over again, it was always the same knife. Compared with the progress of Qi and blood training, his knife skills seemed to improve faster. ]

[Month after month, year after year, he seemed to be spending his entire life pursuing his goal.]

"As expected of a fool, he is worthy of having a bright yellow fate... His fate contains at least several talents that can enhance his comprehension of swordsmanship." Song Lin sighed in his heart.

He then pulled himself together again and threw himself into hard practice day after day with no clear path forward.

Even if he couldn't be as foolish as Sun Er, he would do his best to live up to this life.

[It’s March again. ]

[After two years of hardship, the duck has reached half of its lifespan. ]

[Your muscles and bones are getting stronger day by day, and your swimming ability is getting better, but you still have no idea how to practice swordsmanship. ]

【The hydrophilic fate is activated. 】

[You are naturally fond of water, and you are faster than others in practicing water magic. ]

[You practiced the Wave Wrap Technique as a water duck, and your progress was rapid.]

[You have practiced the wave-wrapping skill to the extreme, and you have been reborn. The waves wrap around you, you dive and hold your breath, the Minjiang River is like a fish in water to you. ]

[After more than two years of getting along, your relationship with the fisherman has become closer. Sometimes you help him go fishing, and even dive into the bottom of the Minjiang River together to catch the rare bighead carp.]

[Sun Er was surprised to see that you were extraordinary, but then he was delighted. If he occasionally caught one or two bighead carps, he would share them with you.]

【A few months later.】

[You and Sun Er are gradually gaining strength, and the area you can explore under the Minjiang River is gradually increasing.]

[One day, you accidentally discovered several traces of bighead carp, and then you dived to the bottom of the river and found a hidden underwater fish nest in the crevice of the rocks.]

[Looking at the hundreds of bighead carps in the fish nest, you are overjoyed and rush out of the water to yell at Sun Er who is fishing.]

[Since you discovered the bighead carp's nest, you and Sun Er no longer lack blood tonics, and your cultivation of the gluttonous food and 100 Qi diagram has progressed rapidly... Thanks to past lessons, you are still cautious when practicing, and never be greedy for merit and lose blood.]

[On the contrary, Sun Er is very radical, as if he is racing against time. He is over thirty years old, his hair is gradually turning white, and there are traces of time on his body. ]

【In December, the weather is cold and the ground is frozen.】

[You stand blankly on the bank of the Minjiang River, looking at a lone goose flying across the sky. Suddenly you feel lonely, as if you are the only one left in the world... and the lone goose flying across the sky.]

【Bird-watching fate is activated.】

[The desire to spread wings and fly into the sky completely erupts at this moment. 】

[In this life, you vowed to be a bird flying in the sky, so why are you trapped in the river, using your short weapon to attack the long one, trying to learn the swordsmanship of humans? ]

[Your path...was wrong from the beginning! ]

[“Gah——”]

[A long howl sounded, and black feathers flew through the sky. ]

[A streak of black light shot straight into the sky, rapidly chasing after the lone goose.]

[In the blink of an eye, a wild goose with lush feathers and graceful figure came into view. ]

[The lone goose saw the black duck flying down from the Minjiang River, and just glanced at it with contempt, flapped its wings and flew away... In its eyes, there was only endless blue sky. ]

[“Gah——”]

[Another cry was heard from above the clouds.]

[The black duck flew straight towards the lone goose. This provocative cry finally angered the goose. It lowered its arrogant gaze, swept its wings, and was about to shoot the black duck that dared to provoke it down from the sky.]

[Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of black lightning across the sky.]

[A black feather instantly obscured the vision. ]

[Mile…mile…]

[There were panicked cries, feathers flying all over the sky, and a lone goose fell from the sky into the river, stirring up a white cloud. ]

[“Gah——”]

【The third clear sound.】

[When a lone goose poked its head out of the water, a black duck floated quietly on the water. Its pair of proud eyes acted like a mirror, reflecting its own embarrassed figure in the water.]

【Mile~~~】

[The wild geese lower their heads, their eyes no longer look lonely and proud as before. ]

[Clouds and sky, blinding the eyes, lost feathers...]

[You spend your life watching birds and looking up at the sky. Finally, from countless insights, you capture a sense of mystery.]

[Learn the swordsmanship from the body of a water duck - Duck Killing. 】
