The three-eyed monster said at this time: "Everyone, eat something first, and I will tell you our legend. Then how about we go to see the clan leader?" I was about to refuse, when the handsome guy Bai said: "Okay, let's eat something first. , and listen to the legends of the nobles. We are also tired and need to rest." I was a little confused. This was not the style of the handsome guy Bai, and besides, it didn't make any sense.
Suddenly, I saw the haggard Yang Yi, and suddenly I understood everything. My heart felt like a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over, and I couldn't tell what it felt like.
I sighed deeply and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, we are all starving. Let's eat our fill first." When we came to a stone house, some people prepared rich food for us, including fruit wine and dairy products.
But the strange thing is that these people look the same as that one, dull. I was still murmuring in my heart, but it was hard to say, let alone ask.
My poor medical skills are expected to be of no use, so it’s better to do less than to do more. Fortunately, their aura is still normal and not in a sub-healthy state.
As I was eating and drinking, although it was all original food, I had something on my mind and couldn't calm down to savor it carefully.
The handsome guy Bai and the locksmith didn't seem to have very good appetites, but Yang Yi, very unusually, ate a lot. I don't know if it was because she was thinking about something in her heart, or because her body needed more energy to repair the injury.
But until we finished eating, the three-eyed monsters didn’t tell us their legend. None of us mentioned this.
Finally, another older three-eyed weirdo came over and wanted to take us to see their clan leader.
Later, we came to a larger stone house and saw an old man sitting in the middle hall. He looked like an immortal and had a divine feeling.
However, he also has three eyes, but his hair is white. The other party was quite polite. After saying hello, he introduced himself.
Then, it introduced us to their history--his name was Ziyou. At that time, their names were all simple, so his name was considered long.
Back then, as an outstanding young man of the Bai Republic, he participated in that ceremony that attracted worldwide attention. He also witnessed the disappearance of the divine palace and the immortal palace.
I hurriedly planned to ask questions related to the Immortal Palace, but suddenly I remembered what happened during this period of time, so I held back.
Ziyou didn't seem to notice the change in my heart and continued to introduce their history. After the big bang, the world was in chaos.
At the order of the Queen, Xuanwu summoned ninety-nine outstanding human beings from all races to come to this place to protect the secrets entrusted by the Queen.
However, due to the uncontrollable disaster, countless creatures were killed on the spot, followed by landslides and floods. Xuanwu did not choose enough people, so he hurriedly brought some people, mythical beasts, and elves to come. this place.
As for me, as a member of the Bai ethnic group, I can live for thousands of years and have profound mystical weapons. It taught me a lot of knowledge and cultivation methods, and helped me open my eyes, allowing me to absorb more of the essence of the sun and the moon. .
At this point, I started to feel a little strange, and others seemed to be curious as well. But we still didn't say anything.
Ziyou continued to state: "In the beginning, under the leadership of Xuanwu, everyone was in order, and all creatures lived in harmony. And under the leadership of Xuanwu, we transformed the environment here together, and also set up some barriers, formations, etc. It's just that for a long time, Xuanwu refused to tell everyone what we were guarding and why we came to this place. But Xuanwu always said that he would tell everyone in the future. Because the living environment here is really great, Everyone is too lazy to bother with those things. Especially the mythical beasts and elves, they do not think holistically like humans, but pursue a simple and happy life." Speaking of this, Ziyou almost started crying: "After decades of this, Suddenly one day, Xuanwu said that it was going out for a trip, and stored half of its energy in a little Xuanwu, and then left." I felt a thump in my heart, but still didn't show anything unusual.
Ziyou calmed down his emotions: "Xuanwu left and never came back. At first, everyone lived in peace, but as time went by, some mythical beasts began to get ready to covet the energy left by Xuanwu. Fortunately, some mythical beasts still stood. On our side. We protected to the death. After many battles and killing many mythical beasts and elves, we slowly stabilized the situation. Therefore, we also have some large-scale formations here." After saying a few more polite words, And asked if we are here to find the energy and secrets Xuanwu left here.
I suddenly asked: "Didn't Xuanwu tell you why you are waiting for us here before he left?" The other party shook his head: "Over the years, people have come in occasionally, but they have never seen me, so I can only guess your purpose. , and cannot be confirmed." I asked again: "Has the Xuanwu's energy been robbed?" The other party shook his head: "It's a pity that although the little Xuanwu cannot directly absorb Xuanwu's energy, under its influence , became more and more powerful, and gradually revealed its bestial nature, and now it has turned into a man-eating beast, and we have always been wary of them."
"they?"
"Yes, they, Xiao Xuanwu can be separated from behind, one is a turtle and the other is a snake." Old handsome guy Bai suddenly asked: "Why, these two animals are beginning to harm one party?" Zi nodded, stood up and bowed: "After so many years We can't defeat them and have lost a lot of people. Now we finally have a savior. Kill those two animals and you will be able to get the Xuanwu energy as you wish, thereby opening the lotus throne, so that you can get us The secrets you brought." I couldn't help but be stunned: "You still don't know what you brought in?" The other party nodded: "Ashamed, ashamed, that's not what I should get involved in. Xuanwu said, it was designated by the Queen. It’s not for me.” I smiled and said, “It’s rare to meet someone who keeps their promises like you. By the way, the mythical beasts shouldn’t be particularly difficult to deal with. Otherwise, humans would have no choice but to hide after being bullied. Living an ignoble existence in a corner?" Ziyou seemed a little embarrassed: "In the beginning, we were prosperous and we were not afraid. But gradually, the descendants of other ethnic groups, for some unknown reason, either fell ill and died after birth, or They don't grow up, and the better ones are as silly as animals. There are relatively few normal people. Later, except for those like me who have a particularly long lifespan, most of the surviving people are like small animals. They can only do simple things. The locksmith suddenly asked: "You were so technologically advanced back then, but you didn't know the consequences of inbreeding?" Ziyou shook his head: "Inbreeding? I've never heard of it. You guys don't know, all the technology of mankind back then was... Concentrated in the Immortal Palace, humans from the outside world have no contact at all. If it hadn't been for that disaster, maybe I would have had the opportunity to enter the test competition in the Immortal Palace. If I passed the test, I would be able to enter the Immortal Palace." This time we were all even more confused. , how does this fairy palace operate? It actually has a monopoly!
I couldn't help but ask: "Why doesn't Immortal Palace open its technology to the outside world? Doesn't it teach knowledge to the outside world?" Ziyou sighed: "I really don't know this. Maybe I will know if I unlock the secret." Locksmith Then he asked: "Since Xuanwu entrusted this place to your care, why did it store its energy in unrelated divine beasts and let you experience war? This is not in line with its original intention." Ziyou shook his head: " I can't guess what Xuanwu is thinking. Maybe it doesn't think well. Or maybe it doesn't look down on us humans at all and only believes in mythical beasts." At this time, the handsome guy Bai said: "Then, Your Excellency, what do you want us to do? You want us to go now Just find those two mythical beasts and kill them?" Ziyou's expression changed for a few milliseconds, and then returned to normal: "Yes, kill those two mythical beasts, which are actually one mythical beast, and get back the energy stored in Xuanwu. You guys You can break the lotus platform and get the secret of the Immortal Palace." Old handsome man Bai asked again: "Do you know the characteristics of those two mythical beasts?" Ziyou still shook his head: "They basically move at night, and their whereabouts are mysterious. At the beginning, we only knew that there were monsters eating our people. Later, after paying a lot of money, we found out that these two were actually a mythical beast that was harming the village. The only time we witnessed it eating people was a clear night... ..." He paused for a moment and asked, "You won't get tired of me saying more digressions, right?" The handsome man Bai smiled slightly and said, "It's up to you to do whatever you want. Besides, the more detailed you talk, the better our confidence will be." The bigger." So Ziyou let go of his reserve, (it can't be called reserved, the kind where he can't express his feelings.
) opened the chatterbox: "At that time, our personnel were relatively sufficient, and there were many normal people. When we discovered that people kept disappearing, we began to organize searches and counterattacks. After collecting and sorting out the approximate missing places of the missing people, it turned out that It was found that all the people were missing near the Lotus Terrace. We gathered all the men who could move and planned to find the murderer nearby. At that time, we made up our minds to dig out the murderer even if we dig three feet into the ground. Considering that everyone is For those who disappeared at night, we took action at night. Everyone took various weapons and torches to kill there." Speaking of this, the boy showed a sad expression: "What a pity, when we got there, we found the Lotus Terrace. Surrounded by swamps, many people rushed too fast and fell into the quagmire. When everyone was preparing to rescue them, they suddenly discovered a small mountain-like animal appeared on the water, and then a cold sound The fishy wind swept across the water, and the water actually froze. Everyone was shivering with cold, and their hands and feet couldn't obey their orders at all. Fangfeng and Kuafu's men couldn't draw the red bows either. When I saw this, I hurriedly called everyone to retreat." Speaking of this, Zi You actually burst into tears: "But the people trapped in the quagmire couldn't retreat at all, and the people in front were too frozen to walk fast. I originally thought that monster would eat one or two people. I'm full." Then he left. Who knew that bubbles were churning under the water at this time, and there was a strong fishy smell, but no one could see what it was. Then the swamp became very muddy, and the trapped people were dragged in one by one. In the quagmire, some of the brave ones among the escapees rushed over to save others regardless of their own safety. Because the Kuafu tribe members were very tall, the invisible monster could not knock them down at once, but was still beaten by them. Use a spear to pry a little bit out of the mire, and then everyone realizes that it is a giant snake!" The locksmith interrupted at this time: "What you mean is that one turtle and one snake, that is, the legendary Xuanwu is divided into two types. Animal?" Ziyou nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, when the rest of us saw Kuafu's men prying up the giant snake, we suddenly lost our fear and picked up weapons to kill it again." At this point Ziyou seemed very proud: "I commanded the people of the Fangfeng tribe to shoot the big turtle's head and limbs with red bows to prevent it from freezing us. The rest of the people collectively participated in the ten-slap formation of subduing the dragon, striving to get rid of the giant turtle first." snake."
