There was a village at the foot of Mt Wan Yu. There was a woodcutter surnamed Qin who was over 50 years old and was called Old Man Qin.

There are many poisonous insects and beasts in this mountain, if they are trapped in the mountains, how can they survive at night? He hurriedly looked for a way out, but the sky was gloomy at that time, and he could not see the sunlight and could not distinguish the direction.

Seeing that there was no way ahead, Old Man Qin knew that he had taken the wrong path. He sighed and was annoyed. After walking for so long, his knees were weak from exhaustion, so he went to the mulberry tree to rest.

The python swam along the nest, coiled up and surrounded the nest. The chicks in the nest kept crying and swinging their wings, trying to use their young beaks to drive the python away, but it was tantamount to hitting a pebble.

Old man Qin was very pitiful towards the chick. Seeing that the two-headed python was terrifying, it moved slowly, so he hurriedly picked up the chick and left quickly.

When he came to a safe place, Old Man Qin dared to look at the chick in his palm carefully. He saw that his body was covered with green and red feathers, with a red tail and a white beak. It was very beautiful, but strangely, the bird had only one leg and was supported on one foot, which was very strange.

Previously, Old Man Qin was nervous, but now he realized that the chick was caught in his hand, and it was actually very hot. He stroked his feathers with his hand, and felt his hands burning hot, which made people surprised. He didn't know what kind of strange bird it was, but the bird didn't feel anything abnormal. He stared at Old Man Qin with a pair of small eyes and chirped softly.

At this time, the sky was clear and the sun was shining, and Old Man Qin walked out of the deep mountain according to the direction of the sun, returned to the village, and after returning home, Old Man Qin made a nest for the chicks, put some rice valleys in it, but the chicks didn't look at it, just followed Old Man Qin and chirped non-stop. Old Man Qin thought to himself, Is this bird eating insects? Then he found a few green insects and put them in front of his mouth, and the bird turned its head to the side in disgust. Old Man Qin was worried, "If you don't eat this or that, you don't want to eat people?"

The angry old man Qin no longer paid attention to the bird, and thought that if you were hungry, you would naturally eat it. After a while, the bird was not hungry, but the old man Qin was hungry. He went to the stove to make a fire to cook, but the bird refused to stay in the nest honestly. He followed the old man Qin to the stove, and when he saw the fire under the stove, he leaned up desperately.

Seeing that the bird had entered the bottom of the stove and disappeared into the fire, a strange thing happened. The fire at the bottom of the stove gradually went out.

Old man Qin was stunned, thinking that this bird was not afraid of fire, it was really rare, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and the fire started again, and the bird really came up again, stood at the mouth of the stove and sucked it in gently, and then sucked the flame from the stove into his mouth, not feeling hot at all, but very happy.

"As I expected, this bird is actually a strange bird that feeds on fire." The old man Qin thought that there were all kinds of strange things in the world.

From then on, Old Man Qin lit a pile of firewood every day to feed the birds. After the birds were full, they would fly to Old Man Qin's shoulder and chirp. One person, one bird, and they got along very well.

After half a year, the bird also grew a lot, and the color on its body became more and more gorgeous, like a phoenix like a luan, and its cry was like the sound of nature. What was surprising was that once it got angry, it would spew out flames from its mouth, which was unlike ordinary fire.

One person and one bird had just arrived in the mountains when they saw dark clouds in the sky, flashing lightning and thunder. Old Qin was surprised. When he came, the sun was still shining brightly, so how could it rain in the blink of an eye?

However, after waiting a long time, no raindrops fell, but the dark clouds in the sky condensed and became thicker and thicker, and there were chains of lightning in the clouds, sizzling, thundering, and the sound was shocking. It was very terrifying, unlike the scene when it rained.

After a while, Old Man Qin faintly saw something rise from the depths of the mountain forest and fly into the air. He hurriedly brought Huo'er closer to take a look and was stunned. It was the two-headed python that almost ate Huo'er half a year ago.

Old man Qin had heard the rumor that a snake would transform into a dragon after living for a thousand years. He never expected to see it with his own eyes today, and he was very shocked. Staring at the snake in a daze, he did not dare to act rashly.

However, at this time, Huo'er beside him showed hateful eyes, soared into the air, shook his wings and flew directly towards the python in the air, then hovered beside the python, opened his mouth and a flame sprayed over, then there was a strong wind surging beside the python, and the flame was blown away by the wind before it arrived. The python found the fire, its eyes revealed a fierce light, and it waved its tail towards the fire.

Old man Qin was very worried when he saw this, but he didn't know how to help Huo'er. He was as anxious as an ant in a hot pan, and when he was anxious, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He piled up the dry branches nearby and lit them with the fire he carried with him.

Old man Qin put the fire into the fire, and the fire was scorching hot. Old man Qin stepped aside, and the smoke was lingering, making it impossible to see the scene in the fire. Seeing that the fire had not come out for a long time, Old Man Qin was very worried, and after a while, the fire was suddenly annihilated.

Although the fire was a rootless fire, it could not be extinguished for a long time, and gradually wrapped the python. The python was burned by the fire and struggled non-stop.

When Old Man Qin saw this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that the python would die without a doubt, but what happened in the next moment made Old Man Qin's face feel sad again. Seeing that the two-headed giant python in the air could not get rid of the flames, he roared, and the two heads of the big fighting snakes opened together.

The python's eyes flashed cold and stared fiercely at the fire. The fire flew around the python, repeating its old technique, stirring its wings, and the sky ignited a fire out of thin air, even more so than last time. The whole sky was already a sea of fire, setting off waves of thousands of feet, the tongue of fire devouring the sky, crackling, spreading towards the python, burning clouds and burning rain all the way, unstoppable.

However, the python was unafraid, roared, and opened its mouth to spit out an evil wind. The wind was extraordinary, and it was extremely powerful. In an instant, the wind in the air was strong, blowing until the sky was dark, the sun and moon were dark, and the wind blew the fire all over the sky.

The python's hatred was unquenchable, and he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but then a thunderclap resounded in the sky, and a bolt of lightning pierced through the sky and slammed directly at the python. I saw the python raise its head and spit out clouds and mist, and the air was instantly covered with black clouds, protecting the python. The thunderclap slammed against the black clouds, like a mud ox entering the sea, useless, unable to break through the black clouds.

The python swayed its body and flew towards the fire. Old Qin was extremely anxious. Just as he was in despair, he suddenly heard a bird chirping piercing the sky, the mountains shook, and the trees were terrified.

However, seeing a crimson red in the southwest, a rolling heat wave was approaching. With the rapid spread of crimson in the air, the surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher, and some dead leaves were already emitting blue smoke. Old man Qin hid under a mountain rock, sweating profusely, and even breathing became difficult.

In an instant, the whole world was covered with that crimson red. Old Qin looked up at the sky, and as far as his eyes could see, there was flames, as if there was nothing else between heaven and earth except fire. In the firelight, there was a big crimson bird, burning with golden flames all over its body, emitting a dazzling light.

The python had fled into the distance, and the crimson bird let out a sharp cry, shook its wings, and arrived in an instant. He grabbed the giant python in his claws, and it was as easy as searching for something.

Throwing aside the python and dispersing the flames, the big bird landed beside Huo'er, gently flapping its wings, and a group of cyan flames wrapped Huo'er up. After a while, Huo'er's injuries gradually healed and recovered as before.

The big bird chirped and shook its wings up into the clouds. Huo'er followed closely behind. When it left, Huo'er looked back at Old Man Qin in the air, reluctantly, then nodded three times and disappeared into the clouds.

Three years later, a well-informed Taoist Wanyou passed by the village and temporarily stayed at Old Man Qin's house. Old Man Qin told the Taoist about it, and the Taoist said, "The bird you mentioned is called Bi Fang. It is an ancient spirit bird that often lives on the thousand-year-old mulberry trees in the deep mountains.

"It should have been the two-headed python that devoured the two Bi Fang chicks back then, so it could transform into a dragon, but it was also a disaster because it provoked Bi Fang. If the snake has two heads, its nature will be evil. If it can transform into a dragon, it will definitely cause floods, which will be a disaster for the common people. It is really a blessing that it can be executed by Bi Fang."

When Old Man Qin heard what the Taoist said, he secretly rejoiced that if he had not saved Huo'er back then, he would not have appeared as an adult when the python crossed the calamity. When the evil python turned into a dragon, he did not know how many disasters would be added to the world.
