What?
There were eleven types of back beasts on the eaves?
Zhang Zian was stunned at first, then he seemed to understand something. He said to Old Time Tea, "Grandpa Tea, I just said that you might not have heard it clearly. There are ten types of exotic beasts on the eaves, plus the leader is a fairy riding a chicken. If you include the chicken, then there are indeed eleven types."
"Quack! Fairy riding a chicken? Riding your own chicken or someone else's chicken? "Richard did not care about how many types of exotic beasts there were. It was only when it heard the word" chicken "that it became excited.
"Ride you!" Zhang Zian glared at it.
"Quack! I want to ride a chicken too! "Richard fluttered its wings and landed on his head.
Zhang Zian was humiliated. He was about to pull it down and pluck all its feathers when he heard Old Time Tea speak again. The doubt in its voice was not reduced at all. "That's not right. I counted again. It's still eleven types. If you include the fairy riding a chicken, then there are twelve types of exotic beasts."
Zhang Zian was stunned again.
It couldn't be?
Did Baidu Baike make a mistake?
That was also possible. After all, Baidu Baike had always been unreliable. But such an important thing was wrong. How could no one find out?
"Zian, I've also counted. Not counting the leading immortal, there are indeed eleven types behind," Famous echoed.
What happened? There was one more?
If there were one or two missing, it would be fine. It could have been blown off by the wind or damaged for some reason. But why was there one more?
"Quack! I know. Didn't they say that there are five backs and six beasts? Since there are five backs and six beasts, five plus six is, of course, eleven! "Richard shouted, thinking it was smart.
There were only ten types of back beasts. According to the rules of the ancient emperors, only the eaves of the Palace of Supreme Harmony could be filled with ten types. Only an odd number of types could be placed in other places. Dragons and phoenixes could not be used.
In other words, in the whole world, only on the eaves of the Palace of Supreme Harmony could all ten types of back beasts be seen.
Now there was one more. Was it buy ten get one free?
Zhang Zian hurriedly looked up at the eaves.
He thought that if there were indeed eleven types, it might be a major discovery. If he reported it to the Palace of Supreme Harmony, he might get a handsome reward.
"One, two, three, four … ten." He raised his head and counted. "That's not right. It's clearly ten. Where did eleven come from? Did you all count wrongly or did you all see wrongly? "
"Idiot!" Richard swung his wings and slapped him on the head. "You are not counting the same roof!"
Zhang Zian turned his head and saw that both Old Time Tea and Famous were staring at the eaves on the right, while he was counting the eaves on the left.
He could only count the number of Ridge Beasts on the right eaves again.
"One, two, three … ten … eleven! Holy sh * t! There are really eleven of them! "
Zhang Zian couldn't help but curse. This discovery was too shocking.
"Have they grown attached to one another, and had a cub?" cried Richard, mischievously. "It is rather lonesome to sit on the eaves all day."
"Do you think it's you?" Zhang Zian scolded.
There must be a reason behind this anomaly. He ignored Richard and focused on the situation.
It was a sunny day, and the sunlight was very strong. When it shone on the glazed roof tiles, it produced strong reflections and affected one's vision.
"Quack?"
"Meow!"
"Woof?"
"Zhi zhi?"
"What the f * ck?"
Zhang Zian and the elfins exclaimed at the same time, because one of the "Ridge Beasts" had suddenly moved. It twisted its body and jumped off the roof, disappearing from their sight. Before it left, it seemed to grin.
"Did any of you see it clearly? What is that thing? "
Zhang Zian felt a chill down his spine, and he asked with a trembling voice.
The elfins all shook their heads, indicating that they did not see it clearly. Whether it was cats, dogs, or monkeys, their eyesight was not as good as that of humans during the day. Parrots had good eyesight during the day, but parrots' eyes grew on the side of their heads, so they were not as sharp as humans when looking straight ahead.
In addition, the movement of that thing was very dexterous, and the timing of its escape was just right. It ran away just when Zhang Zian could not see it clearly.
He and the elfins looked at each other. Everyone felt that there was something strange about this matter. That thing seemed to be waiting for them … No, the elfins were invisible. They were waiting for him.
"Right, Zian, do you still have that feeling of being watched?" Old Time Tea suddenly asked.
Zhang Zian was more or less used to that feeling. It was not as uncomfortable as it was at the beginning, and since leaving the square, that feeling had weakened. At this time, he carefully felt it and replied in surprise, "It's gone! Grandpa Tea, that feeling is gone! "
"When did it disappear?" Old Time Tea asked.
Zhang Zian was not too sure. "It seems … just now."
There was no need to say the rest of Old Time Tea's words. He already understood what Old Time Tea meant — the thing that had just run away had been watching him.
"So, that thing appeared in the square, then came here one step ahead of us, and waited for us here. It deliberately let us see it and then left … What is it planning?" Old Time Tea pondered.
No one could answer.
Before this, that thing had been hiding very well and did not reveal itself. If it wanted to continue to secretly watch Zhang Zian, it should still be hidden. Since it was squatting on such a conspicuous eave, it meant that it had deliberately exposed its position.
"Hmph! In my opinion, we should just pretend we didn't see it. I hate this kind of thief the most! "Fina said disdainfully.
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate. If it is intentional, it will definitely turn back … Should we chase after it and take a look?" Old Time Tea raised an objection.
Zhang Zian looked back. The main group of tourists was about to catch up. If he didn't want to be squeezed with the tourists, he could not stay here and waste time. He had to move forward as soon as possible.
The direction that thing ran was deeper into the Forbidden City. Anyway, Zhang Zian and the elfins had to continue walking in, so it did not seem to conflict.
But … he always felt that the thing was deliberately luring them to chase after it.
Could it be a trap?
As the saying goes, do not chase a cornered enemy. Zhang Zian was hesitating when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and looked. It was actually the elfin detection information from "Pet Hunter."
