After walking for a while, I said: "You two, after the mountain winding, there should be a group of unknown creatures. It's a pity that we can't go up the mountain, otherwise it would be more fun to blast them down from the mountain." The locksmith nodded: "I don't know why it's so strange here. Just let the sky be this high." I was about to answer when I suddenly felt a sudden change in my spiritual power. I quickly pulled out the black snake and turned to look at the mountainside where the spiritual power had changed.
Wherever he looked, he saw a huge figure with a horn on his head, a fiery red body, and five feathered tails. He looked like a big cat.
It looks very ferocious, and as expected, it stares at us fiercely. Although I was being stared at in horror, I still whispered: "Bai Ke, that big-tailed mythical beast is not just a beast pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, right? It seems to be very powerful." As soon as I finished speaking, the mythical beast pounced instantly. He came over and broke up our formation in one fell swoop, knocking down many mouthless sheep.
I was so shocked that I hurriedly shouted: "Locksmith, hurry up, Fat Dolphin." Unexpectedly, Xie spoke up: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean any harm." I was stunned and whispered: "Damn it, this beast can talk. He is by no means an idle person." Old handsome guy Bai also whispered: "Don't panic, let's see what kind of medicine he sells in his stuffed gourd." Unexpectedly, the locksmith asked first: "If you don't mean any harm, you jumped on us all at once. What are you doing in the middle of the formation?" Xie paused for a second and said, "You are human beings, why don't I transform into an adult to communicate with you." After saying that, he transformed into a middle-aged uncle with a majestic appearance and a talented person.
It's just that his eyes don't look like human beings, and he also has no expression. But the clothing is rather strange, and I can’t tell which dynasty or ethnic group it is from. It’s definitely not Han nationality clothing.
I bent down to pay tribute to Xie and said, "Senior's clothes look very strange. I don't know where the style is from?" Xie tried his best to smile and said, "I am Xie. I don't know what the spirit of the Nine Heavens is. I struggled for a long time. I decided to come to see you. My appearance now is the appearance of a good friend of mine from the Immortal Palace many years ago." I asked hurriedly: "Do you know about the Immortal Palace?" He nodded: "Your ancestors are very Awesome, although they made serious mistakes, it does not become a reason to discredit them." I smiled slightly: "Can you also see the spiritual power in me?" He sighed: "It seems that human beings are real You forgot about me, alas." I thought this guy was strange, so I said: "This junior is still young and has insufficient knowledge. He is not a well-educated person. Please feel free to share your legendary stories so that the juniors can grow up. Experience." Xie hesitated for a few seconds, nodded stiffly, and tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "Okay, but I suggest that we go sit on the hillside and chat." After saying that, he jumped and then somersaulted, and then jumped again. Went back to that hillside.
I tilted my head, shrugged, and followed after riding Huanhuan. The locksmith swung his spear and said, "Be careful of fraud, so follow me." The handsome old man Bai laughed and twitched his mace: "This I'm indispensable, but we can't fall into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain. I'm here to take care of Yang Yi, the fat dolphins, and these mouthless sheep. You take care of yourselves." The locksmith also laughed: "Don't worry, Bai Ke. Who have I been afraid of in a fight?" I chuckled: "Have you ever been afraid of a male fish?" The locksmith didn't care and raised his eyebrows: "Just because you can't beat it, it doesn't mean I'm afraid of it. Besides, now we have someone who can break it. It’s a defensive weapon. They came thousands of miles to deliver grilled fish ingredients.” Soon, we rode Huanhuan to the hillside and made a gesture to sit down. We didn’t worry and sat on the ground.
Xie tried his best to make a smiling expression: "Your courage has not changed. It seems that even if it takes hundreds of generations, the same attributes will not change. This is probably the reason why the Queen finally chose you humans." Hearing this. I turned my head slightly and looked at the locksmith, who smiled knowingly.
I continued: "Senior, do you know Bai Ze?" Xie was stunned and asked: "Have you met Bai Ze?" I hesitated for half a second, not sure whether I should tell the truth, but in the end I chose to tell Xie: "How many times have you met Bai Ze?" I met Bai Ze outside years ago, and it taught me a lot of knowledge, and it also guided me to come here." The ferocious voice became excited: "Bai Ze is really outside, and I have been trapped here for many, many years. Yes, I can help you find the energy left by Xuanwu and the technological secrets of your ancestors, but there is a condition. After you succeed, take me out of here. After I go out, I will choose to live in seclusion in the uninhabited mountains without disturbing you. Human beings." My head began to work at high load. Are these guys living here too boring? Why do they all want to go out?
So I asked: "This place is full of spiritual energy and has a beautiful environment. Is there anything that makes it unsuitable for living?" He shook his head: "The spirits of the Nine Heavens don't know something. I'm equivalent to being under house arrest here." This time it's my turn. I was stunned for a moment, so I then replied: "I would like to hear the details." Xie was silent for a while: "I don't know where to start." I smiled: "Let me talk about it wherever I think of it." Xie nodded, He slowly said: "Back then, under the leadership of the Queen, we, together with humans, changed the Feng Shui and Qi of many places. Some of them changed our living environment, and I don't know what they were used for. Only later did I know , it turns out that the space we live in is not separate. Unfortunately, our mythical beasts are inherently deficient. Although we are very powerful and can cast powerful spells, in the face of increasingly powerful humans with technology, we have gradually become a group of animals with well-developed limbs. "Speaking of this, Xie also sighed: "Most of you humans have a short life span, so after several generations of changes, your ancestors stopped taking us to play and created a developed civilization. But at that time, we stopped When the space split, I don’t know what went wrong. Multiple spaces were separated, and the fairy palace was swallowed up by huge energy. Various natural disasters followed. And the powerful Xuanwu found us and led us here, It is said that when the time is right, humans will come to take away energy and technological secrets and rebuild a beautiful home. And we are here to protect these first. But after being here for a long time, I realized that we are basically being manipulated. We have been under house arrest here for thousands of years, and we are unable to leave our fiefdom." Hearing this, I suddenly panicked inside.
Although I had doubts before, it was just a suspicion. Now it seems that although they are similar in caliber, there are still big problems with the logic of the story.
It seems that things are not simple anymore. I'll have to think more about it later. The locksmith seemed to have a clear understanding, and suddenly asked: "Senior, how many Xuanwu are there in total? Are they still alive?" He was stunned for a few seconds before replying: "How come there are so many of these top-notch beasts? There is only one. , is still alive here, in the deepest Wushui Pavilion, guarding the treasures he brought." I was even more puzzled and asked: "Wushui Pavilion? A human building?" He nodded: "The temperament behind Xuanwu Changes have occurred. I don’t know why I like human culture more and more, so I built a lot of human things inside." I nodded and asked again: "Do you know the Storm Spirit?" Xie seemed a little surprised: "Is there really such a spirit? I have only heard that far away, nature gave birth to a storm spirit. But I have never seen it." I nodded: "Then senior, how can you help us? There are more to come. Are there other forces that hinder us? What are you struggling with?" Xie was silent again: "Don't ask too many questions at once, my thinking ability is limited and cannot compare to you humans." The locksmith smiled: "Senior, don't be in a hurry. , Speak slowly, the more detailed the better." Xiongyou said slowly: "In the beginning, Xuanwu just asked us to guard this place and wait for the right person to come. We can also move freely. This place is full of spiritual energy and has a friendly environment. Therefore, this place can be regarded as a paradise, full of vitality. But gradually, Xuanwu divided areas for us, and also cultivated some strange animals, such as the ones you met at Pier." I nodded and motioned to continue.
"When they were restrained at first, everyone was a little restrained, so they just wanted to sneak around and visit each other. But Xuanwu was so angry that he used lightning to kill two mythical beasts that sneaked out of the area, and an elf. The wood elves were burned to death by Xuanwu. Although Xuanwu's fire was not big, the wood elves were naturally afraid of fire, so they were burned to death. From then on, no other creature dared to leave their area." I nodded. , and asked: "Then what are you struggling with?" Xie took a deep breath: "Xuanwu's temperament is getting weirder and weirder. It requires us to kill all humans who break into our respective areas. But I don't know why we do this. I don’t want to do this. On the contrary, I hope that one day someone will come in and take me out. Unfortunately, several waves of people came in, but none of them came in. You are the first human beings to come to me." After listening to this, I was still very confused. There was obviously something wrong with the logic here. It must have been a mixture of truth and falsehood, but I couldn’t tell which part was the real history and which part was carefully fabricated to make me fall into a scam.
I adjusted my thoughts and asked with a smile: "How can senior help us?" He glanced at me and said: "Spirit of the Nine Heavens, you can't use your spiritual power now, right?" This time it was my turn to be confused. How should I answer.
If I answer truthfully, what if it comes to test me? But if I pretend to be normal, what if it really wants to help me?
So I suddenly said: "Senior, why don't you tell us first, there are still a few areas to go behind, and then we can guard them and what kind of creatures they are." He shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't want to mislead you. , I can’t leave my area, and I don’t know what happened in other areas over the years. I don’t know if anyone was exchanged or if anyone was killed by Xuanwu. I know nothing about things outside this area.” I thought for half a second, then quietly held the short knife, planning to take a gamble.
So I said: "It is true that I cannot use my spiritual power for the time being, and I don't know when I will be able to recover."
