I don’t know if this Suzaku was joking or serious, but he actually treated Ying Zheng as his dinner.
Although he felt a little unhappy, Ying Zheng still bowed and saluted: "The younger successor of Tiancheng lineage, come to pay homage to Senior Suzaku."
"Oh? Did Jiuxiao send someone again?" Suzaku obviously paid more attention to it, "You said you are a Heavenly Successor, what proof do you have?"
Jiuer said: "He has a sword. My mother has seen it and said it is real."
So Ying Zheng repeated this action again - showing the Xuanyuan Sword!
"This is my token, senior, please take a look."
Suzaku's eyes flashed, he straightened up and took two steps closer to Ying Zheng. At the same time, he saw the Xuanyuan Sword's golden light glowing, its brightness exceeding anything before, and the sword's body also trembled violently.
This is strange. Ying Zheng has never seen Xuanyuan Sword react like this. In the past, the golden light flashed and returned to normal. This time, not only was the brightness several times stronger, but it also lasted for several breaths and did not stop. The frequency of tremors was The sum and amplitude are also larger than before.
When he was confused, he heard Suzaku ask softly: "Boy, what is your name?"
Ying Zheng came to his senses and replied directly: "My name is Ying Zheng, and I am the current monarch of Qin."
"The surname Ying..." Suzaku murmured to himself, "She is indeed the bloodline of the Jin Emperor."
At this time, Xuanyuan Sword returned to normal, but Ying Zheng felt that its spirituality was extremely active, as if he had seen a long-lost relative.
"Boy, who is your master? Why didn't he come?" Suzaku asked.
Ying Zheng replied respectfully: "My master's name is Ji Fa. Because he is old and weak, I came here to collect the blood of Fuxi's ancestors, so I didn't bother him."
"Come to get the source blood?" Zhuque said, "No wonder Jiu'er came with you. You must have been to the Ice and Snow Region, so why are you here again?"
Ying Zheng briefly talked about the need for Fu Xiyuan's blood to activate the high-level Tianmu energy, and how to obtain the Nirvana Pearl for Yaizhen.
After hearing this, Suzaku said coldly: "Ice Phoenix doesn't have the Nirvana Pearl, but he summoned you to me. Isn't my Nirvana Pearl not precious?"
Ying Zheng quickly took out the dragon slough from his arms, handed it to him respectfully and said, "I am willing to exchange this dragon slough with my senior."
Suzaku sniffed the scent of the dragon's slough and said, "The green dragon's slough? It's quite precious, but in terms of efficacy, nothing compares to the Nirvana Pearl."
Indeed, when comparing longevity and Nirvana rebirth, the latter is more valuable.
How could Ying Zheng be willing to give up so easily: "Senior's Nirvana Pearl is indeed precious, but it hurts Yaizhen's soul, and only earth-type Nirvana Pearls can heal it. If senior is unwilling to exchange, then how can I be worthy of Yazui's kind deeds. "
"Alas!" Suzaku sighed and said, "It seems that you are also a person who values love and justice. Let's go inside and talk."
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
It flapped its wings and turned around to enter the hole at the back.
Ying Zheng looked at Jiu'er, who nodded to him, and then led him into the cave entrance.
It turns out that there is a cave inside the entrance of the cave. In addition to a huge nest made of stones, there is also a circular pool made of stones next to it, and a rather large square grid. There are also some small birds and beasts kept in captivity. Those are the ingredients that Suzaku usually enjoys.
Suzaku stopped, looked back at Ying Zheng, and said slowly: "I just said that I didn't want to exchange the Nirvana Pearl for the Dragon Slaughter, but I didn't say that I couldn't exchange it with something else. Do you really want my Nirvana Pearl?"
Ying Zheng nodded sincerely: "As long as I can do it, Senior Suzaku, just ask."
"Okay." Suzaku said, "Come to the inner nest with me."
Ying Zheng responded and followed it into the inner nest. He saw a huge stone statue standing on one side of the stone wall of the inner nest.
The stone statue also looks like a giant bird. It has a small head but a thick beak edge. The neck is not thick, but the belly is slightly fat. The feathers are not long, but the tail is upturned.
"Do you recognize this sculpture?" Suzaku asked.
"This..." Ying Zheng compared the description in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Could this be... the Golden Crow?"
"Yes, it is the Golden Crow." Suzaku's tone was a little sad, "Are you curious why there is a stone statue of the Golden Crow standing in my inner nest?"
Ying Zheng shook his head.
Jiu'er became interested and asked curiously: "I've never been to my aunt's inner nest. Why is there a stone statue?"
Suzaku said gently: "These things have been a long time ago. We don't want to mention them, and your mother won't deliberately mention them to you."
As it spoke, it stretched out its wings and gently wiped the dust on the stone statue: "Golden Crow...it is my husband."
"Ah?" Ying Zheng and Jiu'er exclaimed at the same time.
Suzaku did not stop his wings and seemed to be stroking the memories of the past and wiping away the scars buried in his heart: "A long time ago, our ancestors followed the Dragon Emperor to this star field and lived in the world outside called Jiuxiao. . Later, Pangu led the gods to come here and tried to cooperate with the dragons to transform this planet."
"Jinwu and I were born in that Hongmeng era, and we originally had an instinctive rejection of the arrival of the gods."
"But after watching the God Clan's "Mountains and Seas" together with the Dragon Clan, we all changed our minds, because the nine secluded spaces and the vast sea are simply too tempting for us."
"The Dragon Clan dominates the water area, but the water source covered by the original Hongmeng Star is pitiful. As for this Nine Netherland, it can provide us with a constant temperature environment and reduce the hidden dangers caused by hibernation."
Regarding this past, Ying Zheng chased Ji Fa and told him a while ago, but now hearing it from the perspective of the orcs, it is a different feeling.
Suzaku walked around to the other side of the stone statue and continued to wipe it: "Because we birds can move easily, the Dragon Emperor ordered us to fully cooperate with the Gods in the transformation of the mountain."
"Because of his affinity with metals and giant energy sources, Jinwu's mission was to help Hou Yi transform Shaoyang. At that time, the Gods were developing a new type of technology, which was to use the continuous blessing of the Five Elements energy to greatly extend Shaoyang's lifespan. .”
"Hou Yi of the Protoss tried many times but failed. Later they changed their method and built a 'Golden Crow Foot' for the Golden Crow, and then let the Golden Crow stay on the negative side of Shaoyang to directly control it."
"The Golden Crow took great risks to accomplish what was impossible, and finally enabled Hou Yi to succeed. From then on, you left the legend of the three-legged Golden Crow rising into the sky in the sky."
Jiu'er blinked her pupils with long eyelashes and asked curiously: "Then Uncle Jinwu separated from you and stayed there?"
"Of course not." Suzaku sighed, "The twists and turns in this are difficult to describe in just one word."
It stopped its wings, came to Ying Zheng and Jiu'er, sat on the ground, and continued to narrate like an old man telling a story to two children: "You may have heard of what happened later. Pangu originally planned to lead the gods to live in Jiu'er. You, but the Dragon Emperor listened to Ba Xia's words and started fighting with the Gods. In the chaos, Pangu's wife died unexpectedly, and many members of the Gods became hostages."
"Although Pangu broke through the siege, he was stopped by the Ice Phoenix and the Golden Crow guarding the sky. But the Golden Crow missed his old love and couldn't bear to kill him, so he let Pangu return to the Ark."
"It is precisely because of this that the Dragon Emperor held a grudge, blamed Pangu's counterattack on the Golden Crow, and imprisoned it."
"From then on, we were forced to separate. Even though the God Clan and the Dragon Clan reconciled again later, the Golden Crow was not released."
It is hard to imagine what kind of desperate situation Pangu faced when he was being chased and beaten, and the one who rescued him turned out to be the Golden Crow who blocked his retreat!
Jinwu clearly guessed his fate, but still chose friendship and let Pangu go. It can be said that the Golden Crow's decision changed the entire history of the Gods and even mankind!
Ying Zheng asked angrily: "So Senior Jinwu has not been released to reunite with you yet?"
Suzaku shook his head: "The matter is far more than that. The core mission of your Tiancheng lineage is to repair the damaged dragon veins and piece together the broken "Mountain and Sea Map" to reshape the natural source of power."
"The root of all this is because of the world-destroying disaster, right?"
"Yes!" Ying Zheng said, "I heard Master said that because the natural source of power was severely damaged, mountains and rivers were broken, mountains and seas were overturned, earthquakes continued, and volcanoes erupted frequently. The civilization established by Pangu's ancestors was also destroyed in that disaster It was almost completely destroyed in the disaster of the world.”
Suzaku's face was filled with anger, but he said soberly: "Selfish desires are always the source of disaster!"
"At that time, the old Dragon Emperor died and the new Dragon Emperor succeeded to the throne, so it wanted to completely occupy this Jiuyou land, but when it moved the Sky-Opening Ax and the "Mountain and Sea Map" left by Pangu, it accidentally touched He broke the agency, which led to that huge disaster."
"Do you think that only the humans in Jiuxiao have suffered catastrophe? And this Jiuyou land is no different."
Ying Zheng understands this truth very well. The so-called Jiuxiao and Jiuyou are nothing more than the outside and the inside of this star, and the mountains and the sea are still connected.
Suzaku's voice was a little more plaintive: "Compared to Jiuxiao, Jiuyou's situation at that time was more serious. After all, the space is much smaller than Jiuxiao, and there is an extra Shaoyang."
"The natural source of power has been severely damaged, resulting in Shaoyang's energy being extremely unstable. The red veins of magma that supply it are almost paralyzed. The only one who can solve this problem is the Golden Crow."
The Golden Crow participated in the entire creation of Shaoyang, and is also the only divine bird that can board Shaoyang.
After a pause, Suzaku did not continue the story. It looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in Ying Zheng's hand and asked, "Do you know the origin of the Xuanyuan Sword in your hand?"
Ying Zheng also looked at the golden holy sword in his hand and replied: "Of course I know, this is the ancient secret book that the Yellow Emperor's ancestors accidentally obtained back then and made it with super high sword-making craftsmanship."
"Haha." Suzaku smiled and asked, "Then do you know where the materials for making this sword come from, and why only this one was made?"
"Uh..." Ying Zheng said, "According to legend, the materials were obtained from searching for minerals in various places. Only this one was made to show the dignity and authority of the king. If there were a few more, how would it look like this sacred weapon? The uniqueness of the sword.”
Suzaku sighed: "The reason is very good, but... legends are legends after all, but they are not the truth."
Not the truth?
Could there be any other secrets?
Before Ying Zheng could think too much, he heard Zhuque say: "I asked Huang Emperor to forge this sword, and I also gave him the materials for making the sword."
"Ah!?" Ying Zheng's jaw dropped to the ground.
Jiu'er on the side was also surprised: "Auntie, so that person named Huangdi also came to see you?"
"Yes." Suzaku nodded, "Many years ago, Huang Emperor asked me for help in order to find the fragments of the "Mountain and Sea Map". After I learned that he was the Five Elements Golden Emperor of your human race, I also asked him for help. A favor."
"He promised me that his descendants will continue his mission and help me fulfill this wish."
"So, I asked him to make this Xuanyuan Sword, and the material used to make the sword was exactly the one that the Golden Crow left to me - the 'Golden Crow Foot'!"
