Of course Ying Zheng had heard the story told by the iron-eating beast, but he didn't know that Fuxi was rescued by the iron-eating beast's ancestor, and then Fuxi begged Kuafu to save the two iron-eating beast ancestors.
The iron-eating beast continued: "After boarding the ark, in order to ensure that my two ancestors did not show their evil nature, Kuafu fed them some elixirs. Later we found out that this elixir was called Linggu Dan."
"Linggu Pill?" Ying Zheng reached out and took out the Linggu Pill in his arms, poured out a few pills and asked, "But this kind of Linggu Pill?"
"Yes, it's exactly this kind." The iron-eating beast said, "I have eaten it before, so I have wisdom."
No wonder it can talk, it turns out to be the effect of Ling Gu Dan.
The iron-eating beast continued: "On that ark, Fuxi acted very brave and strong, so he left a good impression on Kuafu. Later, after rescuing the survivors, Kuafu took him with him They fled south."
"In the Ark, Kuafu asked Fuxi if he wanted to lead mankind to rebuild civilization. Fuxi agreed immediately, so he began to learn new languages and cast Jiuding with Kuafu. He also followed Kuafu and took Nuwa with him. I went to Jiuyou to control the natural source of power there."
"My ancestors gained wisdom after eating Linggu Pills and could speak. So they swore to follow Fuxi to the death, but Fuxi was afraid that they would scare others. , so let them stay at the foot of Kunlun Mountain to protect the base camp here."
Ying Zheng murmured: "So that's it... So your ancestors asked you, the descendants, to guard this place for generations?"
"That's right." The iron-eating beast said, "Later, Nuwa was here to mend the sky, and my ancestors accompanied her all the time. After my two ancestors passed away, my second-generation ancestors accompanied the King of the West to build the facilities here. "
Regarding the story here, Ying Zheng was obviously more interested in King Xi, so he asked: "Senior said that King Xi is the youngest son of Nuwa's ancestor, so he must be Suiren's brother. Why is he hiding here alone? "
The iron-eating beast said: "At that time, after the gods of the protoss entered the Nine Netherworld, they roughly calmed down the energy leaked from the natural source of power, and initially repaired it. However, because they could not stay in the Nine Netherworld for a long time, this task fell to Fuxi and Nuwa."
"And the natural source of power was most damaged, and it was the strata beneath the Kunlun Mountains, so Fuxi guided the leaked energy into three streams, extending eastward."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "I understand this. Ancestor Fuxi led three dragon veins out of Longyuan."
"Yes." The iron-eating beast said, "Later, the Five Emperors Plan formulated by Fuxi and Nuwa was to completely repair the three dragon veins, but there was no one here in Longyuan, so this task fell on the King of the West. "
"The real name of King Xi is Youchao. He and the Sui people originally had their own division of labor. The Sui people taught people how to use fire, while Youchao taught people to build houses to live in."
Ying Zheng frowned: "Of course I know about Youchao, but don't you think he is the King of the West?"
The iron-eating beast nodded and said: "Youchao is dozens of years younger than Suiren, so when he came of age, the rebuilt civilization had already taken shape. He only taught people how to build houses to practice his skills. His real ability will be It is a larger project built using dense stones. Everything you see here was built by the King of the West himself."
I see!
After Kuafu rescued the survivors, he was afraid that their hatred would affect the reconstruction of civilization, so he gathered all the adults together and asked them to work together to build a tower foundation for restoring the natural source of power.
Fuxi and Nuwa, on the other hand, took a large group of babies and taught them new languages and characters, and gradually accepted the rudimentary civilization. This is how the legend of Nuwa creating humans came about.
So their two sons, Sui and Youchao, took on the responsibility of teaching people how to use fire and build houses, but that was only what ordinary people saw. The real responsibility of the two of them is that Suiren uses magma to create dense stones, while Youchao is responsible for building dense stones into various buildings or projects.
It turns out that it’s not just the extremely talented who know how to do this craft!
What does the ancestor of the Jingjue people have to do with the Sui people and the Youchao people?
etc……
This place is actually not far from Jingjue. Taotie once said that it guards the north gate of Kunlun Mountain and takes special care of the Jingjue clan.
Could it be? …
Ying Zheng thought this in his heart, and his eyes kept shaking.
The iron-eating beast didn't know what he was thinking, and continued: "He is called the King of the West because this place is located to the west of the Central Plains. The title of the King of the West is also the title he gave himself."
"After Empress Nuwa repaired the Dragon Source, which is what ordinary people call patching the sky, she ordered Youchao to leave the Central Plains and come here. After he built these buildings, he lived here for a long time until his death. My ancestors I will protect him here from generation to generation and look after his home and courtyard."
Xiao Nian Beast opened his mouth and said to Ying Zheng: "I know a little bit about this. At that time, the Dragon Emperor only sent nine divine beasts to guard the fire eye, and did not send any divine beast to protect the dragon source. It was precisely because Fuxi said that he sent There are people here to take care of it, and there are also spiritual beasts from the ??????????????? family to guard it, but I didn’t expect that the spiritual beasts are from the iron-eating beast family.”
The iron-eating beast sighed and said: "How can we call it an upper clan? In each generation, we only give birth to two males and females, and then we reproduce between brothers and sisters."
Ying Zheng's heart tightened, thinking that if this happened to the human race, it would be really hard to accept.
"Then you can have more children," Ying Zheng said. "If you have more children, you won't be like this and you won't be so lonely."
"This is the clan rule." The iron-eating beast said, "Besides, the food here is expensive and scarce, and even if there is too much, it will not survive. Our ancestors' original name was Dongga. Because of the scarcity of supplies, they sometimes ate iron ore. And then he changed his name."
"It's really hard for you." Ying Zheng sighed, "Well, when I completely repair the dragon source and dragon veins, you won't have to guard here anymore. I will let you return to nature and enjoy real happiness."
"Really?" The iron-eating beast couldn't believe his ears.
"Of course it's true." Ying Zheng said, "I feel depressed just thinking about these dark days, not to mention that you have been living here for generations. The outside world is colorful, and there is no worry of food shortage. The bright sunshine and the green vegetation , colorful flowers are gifts from nature.”
The iron-eating beast's eyes turned red when Ying Zheng said that, and he kept looking forward to the scene outside.
"It's just that you have to stay here for a while." Ying Zheng turned to say, "Because the premise is that I need to completely repair the dragon veins and dragon sources, and then seal this place."
The iron-eating beast was overjoyed and said: "The order left by my ancestors is to wait for the descendants of Senior Fuxi to come here to repair the dragon source, and now you are finally here."
Ying Zheng asked: "Has anyone been here before me?"
"Of course there is." The iron-eating beast said, "Thousands of years ago, a man named Dayu came. It is said that he was the water emperor among the emperors of the five elements. Because of the flooding of the Yellow River, he came here to repair the source of the five elements."
】
"The source of the Five Elements, is it really the source of the Yellow River?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Of course." The iron-eating beast said, "But the real source is not here, but on the other side of the West Queen Mother Temple above. The place you came from is just a tributary."
"West Queen Mother Temple?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise, "Can you take me to see it?"
"Okay." The iron-eating beast said, "But I suggest you read the ancient books left by King Xi first. It may be of great help to you."
"Okay, let's read the ancient books first." The iron-eating beast stood up, took Ying Zheng and the little Nian beast out of the cabinet, and entered a study not far away.
And this study room is very unique. In addition to the stone table and chairs, there are also bronze bookshelves. Even the ancient books are made of bronze.
That's true. If it were made of wood, it would probably be rotted into slag by now.
Ying Zheng walked around the study room, then returned to the first shelf of the bookshelf, took out the bronze book placed at the head, sat on the stone chair and read.
It didn't matter. Ying Zheng almost laughed out loud, because this book was more like a letter written to him. It seemed that he had made the right choice.
"My descendants, no matter how many generations or years we are apart, it must be our fate that you are here."
"If you are here to repair the dragon source, my spirit in heaven can feel at ease, because this means that the natural source power will finally be restored, the long-cherished wishes of our generations will finally be realized, and the human race will finally be able to enjoy peace in the future. .”
Ying Zheng sighed and thought to himself: Humanity has struggled for this goal for more than several generations.
The book continued: "Perhaps you have heard that my father Fuxi was actually born in the era of ancient civilization. He personally experienced the benefits that technological civilization brought to people, and also witnessed the sudden destruction of that civilization. It can be said that in front of nature, human beings are as fragile as paper. Oh, maybe there was no paper in your time."
"Because paper is very fragile, I wrote what I wanted to say into this bronze book. It may be helpful to you, or it may be just a boring move on my part."
"The books next to me are all my experiences when compiling the legacy of various ancient civilizations. Perhaps I was too lonely in this pavilion. When my father decided to inscribe all the ancient inheritance on the tortoise shell and animal bones, one after another The moment I passed it on to the world, I knew that the new civilization would not immediately regain its glory."
"Think about it. As long as the natural source of power is not fully restored, human beings will always be in danger. Even if civilization is restored immediately, what will happen? There is still the danger of being destroyed again."
"So we have to wait until the three dragon veins can be completely repaired, and my duty is to guard the dragon source here, make the water of the five elements as stable as possible, and let the excess energy of the red veins flow to the three dragon veins as much as possible Guidance.”
"But I know that my life span does not allow me to wait until that day. I can only hope that future generations will inherit our will and inherit our mantle one day in the future. I believe that my brother Suiren will definitely cultivate excellent Five Emperors. .”
Ying Zheng thought: Not only are the Five Emperors outstanding, but their descendants are also extraordinary.
At the end of the letter, the letter said: "The iron-eating beasts guarding this place are loyal and hardworking, and their descendants will be the same. If the dragon veins are ever completely restored, why not give them their freedom and let them return to nature and enjoy life in peace?" , but be sure not to activate their spirituality again, so that the dragons will no longer have an excuse to come to us for trouble."
"Finally, a word of advice, don't hate the Dragon Clan because of the destruction of ancient civilization, let alone spread this hatred among the people. The restart of civilization is our destiny, and it is also what the Gods hope to see. Maybe this time, the Human Race will use A proving ground for developing civilization in its own way.”
This bronze book is only a few pages long, but it provides a lot of information.
Ying Zheng closed the book, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment. Then he walked to the front of the bookshelf and looked at it carefully.
"Senior Iron-eating Beast, I've had a hard day's work today. I want to rest here and take a closer look at the ancient books here. Why not go to the West Queen Mother Temple tomorrow?"
"Of course it's no problem." The iron-eating beast said, "But I don't have much extra food here. If you are hungry, you have to endure it."
