Luo Binhan is not too bloody, but his ability to withstand bloody and terrifying scenes is not outstanding. He hurriedly took a few glances at the pile of bones beside the well, and immediately turned his attention elsewhere.
The courtyard is simple, clean and quiet. The water vat with withered lotus leaves, the broom bundled with dead branches, and even the rolling and graceful mountains in the distance are all shrouded in silent white snow.
The whole world seemed to have lost its voice.
Just when Luo Binhan was at a loss, Jing Huang suddenly appeared next to him.
"This is the past of Lotus Tree Star." Jing Huang said.
He strode forward to the well, grabbed the pile of bones, and shook them to the ground without mercy.
"See for yourself." He said coldly, "This is what Sang Lian looked like after she died."
Luo Binhan was very shocked.
"Sang Lian is dead?" he said confusedly, "Didn't Lao Mo meet him later? And he must not be the only one with so many bones..."
His eyes fell on the bones and his words stopped abruptly. He discovered that the remains scattered on the snow were actually only one.
The main body of the remains was a spine with a length of more than seven meters and a diameter exceeding the palm of an adult's hand. Extending from the middle of the spine are numerous weird, sharp long bones that look like fish spines and fangs. That ugly and ferocious structure makes people shudder even if only the skeleton is left.
There is absolutely no way it is human remains. However, at the end of the disgusting monster bone, which was like a demon dragon and a python, there was a human skull head clearly connected.
It does not belong to any other primate species. The size and proportion of the head are exactly the same as the skull simulation model displayed in Zhou Yu's study.
Luo Binhan looked at the remains as if possessed. He was filled with doubts, fears, and a feeling that even he himself couldn't understand.
If he had to describe it, the intuition that made him tremble all over - it was like starting to relive a nightmare, and the familiar feeling was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Jing Huang looked at him expressionlessly.
"Do you think it's strange? Why does the good man you call like this? The answer is simple. In order to fight against the conceptual famine of the Earth Jedi, he covered a piece of the lunar matrix that was not occupied by the original species. Here. All the victims who have swallowed the matrix have become low-level demons of the regular type. On the surface, they rely on soil to satisfy their hunger, but in fact they use it as a mediator for regularization."
Luo Binhan seemed to understand Jing Huang's words.
"...That is to say, he turned all the victims into undead creatures? Are they all non-human?"
"Yes, if you just go to this point, the impact will be that all of them will become demons. But Sang Lian is a perfectionist paranoid. He cannot accept that the victims of the disaster have become dependents of the original species, so all conceptual effects They were all grafted onto himself. In this way, the victims were only slightly affected during the Earth Jedi period, and they would soon return to normal after the Earth Jedi ended, while he himself turned into this ghostly appearance."
Jing Huang kicked the bones on the ground indifferently.
"In order to continue to absorb the curse from the moon, he must survive until the end of the earth. The monks in the temple voluntarily sacrificed themselves to support him, and each one was eaten by the monster he turned into, from soul to body. By relying on With the remaining will in his soul, he kept his mind and persisted until the end of the earth, and then killed himself at the end. When the victims hiding in the mountains saw the light of day again and walked into this monastery, they left behind That's all they were given. No heroes, no saints, just dirty, ugly corpses of monsters."
He stepped over the bones and walked towards the small temple behind the courtyard. It was completely different from the palace Luo Binhan had seen in Lotus Star before. It was just a shabby and dilapidated low house, like a mountain temple.
Jing Huang opened the door and found a decayed wooden statue in the deepest part of the room. In order to see its details clearly, Luo Binhan had to avoid the skeleton and run to Jing Huang.
"This statue..."
The wooden statue was severely damaged, but only the head was preserved due to careful maintenance. Through the thick net of dust, one could still make out the pale and old face. He lowered his eyes and gazed pitifully into the courtyard. He placed a copper oil lamp at his feet and held a piece of white bone in his hand.
Luo Binhan raised his head and looked at the roof. There was nothing except the half-collapsed beams. All the details here are very different from the tourist temple in Lian Shuxing.
Jing Huang put his palm on the oil lamp, and the black clotted oil and wick started to burn again. The flames reflected the statue of the god as if it were alive.
"Long before the beginning of the Earthly Era, Sang Lian had a high reputation among the local mortals. They regarded him as a prodigy, a genius, and the reincarnation of a sage, so people believed his words and hid in the nearby mountains. It was also because of this Instead of being afraid after seeing Sang Lian's remains, they thought it was a good omen for the saint to become a dragon and ascend to heaven, so they rebuilt the temple and enshrined part of Sang Lian's remains."
Luo Binhan looked up at the wooden statue, then looked at Jing Huang next to him. He didn't think the ending of this story was too tragic, but Jing Huang's expression was as unpredictable as a deep well.
"Although the Earth Jedi has ended, Lianshu Star itself belongs to a very backward civilization on the intellectual side. It has neither mastered enough technology nor the power of the law to protect it. More than ten years after the Earth Jedi ended, they Just because of an ordinary severe drought, they fell into famine again. In despair, a villager remembered the legend about Sanglian. In order to save his sister who was about to starve to death, he sneaked into the temple late at night and took the enshrined After eating the remains of Sang Lian... did that guy have his own whims, or was he misled by someone? In short, he probably thought that after eating the 'dragon bones', he could transform into a dragon, and then bring clouds and rain to the countryside. "
The solidified lamp oil slowly melted under the heat of the flame, sliding down the edge of the lamp like tears.
"Of course that kind of thing is impossible. An ordinary person like him, who has neither knowledge nor experience nor any superhuman will, eats such a concentration of cursed condensation and turns into a monster similar to Naga on the spot. He destroyed the temple All the monks left behind in the village were eaten up, followed by everyone in the village. Originally, Lianshuxing had not had much population after experiencing the end of the earth, so a low-level monster like him, who could not even fly, actually Such a ridiculous extermination of an entire planet's civilization. Until the alliance's expedition team accidentally passed by and eliminated him entrenched in the mountains, the only living person who was not eaten by him was his sister, who had long been unattended. And starved to death."
After telling all this without any emotion, Jing Huang gently tapped the lamp and the light went out quietly.
The room was dark and dead.
"...according to the alliance's regulations, as long as you have settled on a planet without a civilization for more than three generations, you can claim to be an aborigine there."
Jing Huang said indifferently: "This is how the current owner of the Lotus Tree Star outside came to be. A group of immigrant businessmen sent some short-lived races to live on the abandoned Lotus Tree Star. After obtaining the ownership of the planet, they leased it to tourism companies. Although I don’t know how they dug up Sang Lian’s story, but the versions they publicized are all fake, probably for commercial purposes. This is something you are good at on the intellectual side, and you should know better than me... But it doesn’t matter. Well, you only need to know one thing, that is, that guy Sang Lian actually did not save anyone in Lianshu Star. Ever since he used a second-level wishing machine to turn himself into a reincarnation spiritual body, he has been repeating this over and over again. Similar encounters, even if they succeed once or twice, will soon be swallowed up by the endless historical line - that guy's crazy and senseless obsession will only get this kind of reward in the end."
