"Does it know me?" Mu Ziyun said to himself.
"Who?" Lingdang asked doubtfully, "You have been talking to yourself since just now. Are you okay, Xiaomu?"
"Oh, no." Mu Ziyun leaned against the railing of the large ship hanging high in the sky. After a moment of pause, he said, "The things in Ono Village seem to have something to do with me. It should be caused by past lives."
Huzi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's really strange. People say that once in a thousand years, you will never see someone from your past. That's great for you. How many times have you encountered bad luck in your past life? Now I feel that you must have been a person in your past life. , maybe it’s still recorded in the history of some race.”
Kite frowned and whispered, "Humph, he must not be a good person."
Zhuan Wangdong looked into the distance and shouted: "Everyone, Huangdu has arrived!"
The big ship slowly landed, and Du Xiaoyue put it into a crystal bottle. Without saying hello to the soldiers guarding the city, the eight people rushed in without anyone stopping them. When Mu Ziyun threw the stone tablet in front of Zhai Qiuzi, the entire top management of Huangdu exploded. Zhai Qiuzi has lived for almost seventy years and has never been so shocked, let alone others.
"Dang...seriously?" Zhai Qiuzi stood up and gestured with his hands excitedly, "Is this really from Onomura? You must have gone to the wrong place, right?"
Less than half a stick of incense, all the eleven elders of the Phoenix Capital Xiu Zheng Group arrived. After seeing the stone, their legs were so weak that they couldn't help but collapse to the ground, especially Elder Zhang who was the most opposed to Mu Ziyun's eight people leaving the city. He burst into tears of gratitude, kowtowed to Mu Ziyun, and cried out: "I am really the savior of Huangdu."
Only then did the eight people realize that they had been deceived. Mu Ziyun said dissatisfiedly: "Old man, aren't you tricking us? There is nothing in the Three Holy Mountains, but I almost lost my life in that ghost village just to get this broken stone." "
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhai Qiuzi's eyes were still focused on the stone tablet. He couldn't help but slowly approached it. His hands touched the surface of the tablet. After three or four breaths, he excitedly said to others: "It's true."
"Long live!" "Long live!" Eleven old senators cheered ecstatically.
"What a beautiful idea!" Ling Dang shouted, raised his right leg and stepped on the monument, saying: "Speak clearly, otherwise, we will not give you this stone." Even so, several people also understood that even Zhai Qiuzi reacted like this. If he didn't give it to him, others might take it away.
Mu Ziyun smiled and agreed: "She is right. I dare not say anything else. We can definitely make this stone disappear." Fang Tianmu walked to him in tacit understanding, and with a slight stroke of his finger, the stone A thin crack appeared on the back, which was the crack in the underworld. It only took half a breath for Fang Tianmu to pull the stone tablet into the underworld.
Zhai Qiuzi didn't want to take any risks. With a grab with his right hand, the crack in the underworld created by Fang Tianmu instantly twisted and disappeared, while the bodies of the eight people were trapped together by invisible force and unable to move.
"Hey, you damn old man!" Lingdang scolded, "You're killing the donkey, bah, you're ungrateful!"
"I won't do anything to you." Zhai Qiuzi finally looked at them and said, "You are already the heroes of Huangdu and will be recorded in the history of Huangdu." With a wave of his right hand, he released everyone's restraints.
Kite asked: "Great Lord, please tell me quickly."
"Huangdu...its origin is extraordinary."
Originally, it was impossible for the secrets of Huangdu to be known to anyone other than the highest level, but due to the "feat" of Mu Ziyun and the eight people in retrieving the stone tablet, they were qualified to know the truth.
Zhai Qiuzi sighed and said: "The history of Huangdu is longer than you can imagine. Today's era is called the 'Era of Rules'. No one knows where this name came from, but everyone in the world agrees with it. According to the theory, this era has only passed for more than three million years. The previous era was called the 'Age of Gods', as the name suggests..."
"There are many gods," Mu Ziyun interrupted, "more than seven hundred. The four true gods, seven ghosts, two demons, and six demons make up the nineteen temples. We all know these."
"This... you all know..." Zhai Qiuzi was stunned. There should not be many living beings in this world who know what happened millions of years ago.
"You continue," Mu Ziyun said.
"Ah," Zhai Qiuzi said, "This 'Age of Gods' lasted for forty million years. The gods fought to the devastation of heaven and earth, but you don't know that before the 'Age of Gods', there was another era. It’s called…”
Mu Ziyun and others said in unison: "Dom Era!"
Zhai Qiuzi spread his hands, stared at everyone helplessly, and said, "How many years have you lived? Where did you get so much news?"
Hu Zi said happily: "Don't believe it, we have actually seen the big things in these two eras, and..."
"Tiger!"
Ling Ding shouted low, and Hu Zi was shocked to realize that he had spoken too much. He immediately pretended to be deaf and stupid and said: "Nonsense, hahaha..."
Zhai Qiuzi's face remained unchanged, but her heart skipped a beat. Have you seen it before? What have you seen? Creatures from the Age of Dom and the Age of Gods? Or, gods? Could this be the reason why they each have powerful and strange abilities? After a few breaths, he continued: "Yes, yes, you all know, then I..."
"You continue, we won't know what happens next." Mu Ziyun said with a smile.
"Hey, I'm afraid the Dom Era may exist.
It lasted longer, and at the end of its era there were legends similar to the "Nineteen Palaces", called the "Eight Saints", "Sixteen Beasts", "Five Demons" and "Ten Monsters". These four kinds are not independent. Some gods belong to both the "Eight Saints" and the "Five Demons", etc. The so-called "Sixteen Beasts" refer to the sixteen most demonic and noble beasts at the end of the Dom Era. The definition of beasts at that time was quite different from the definition of beasts now. Among the sixteen, they were also divided into high and low, and the most noble were four kinds. They can still distinguish between high and low. From noble to low, they are mother phoenix, Pixiu, Tianlong and Dilo, the first three have divinity upon birth, and the last one has extraordinary evolutionary abilities and is evil in nature. It seems that any Dilo beast in the Dom era is a demon king that destroys the world. "
"Yes, I have an impression." Mu Ziyun nodded and whispered, "He looks quite harmless."
"Hiss...have you seen this before?"
Mu Ziyun waved his hand and joked: "Hey, it's an old story. Let's continue, old man. The origin of Phoenix City is the mother phoenix."
Zhai Qiuzi said helplessly: "Yes, the mother phoenix is called the mother of the earth, which is exactly the opposite extreme of the Diluo beast. It has a very good nature. Any mother phoenix will be the most reliable guardian of all living things in the world. This Phoenix in Phoenix City The First Mother Phoenix was born during the period when the 'Era of Domu' and the 'Era of the Gods' alternated. Fortunately, a human being in the troubled times, Fuxi, the founder of Phoenix City, picked up the newborn Phoenix. He took care of the mother phoenix for three days and took good care of it for three days. In just three days, the mother phoenix became the eternal guardian spirit of the Fuxi clan. The beginning of the era of gods was vigorous enough. War was breaking out in every land in the world. Humanity Already weak, Fuxi suffered countless casualties in the melee. The anxious Fuxi decided not to wander anymore, and led his entire clan to build an immovable city on the surrounding land. He generously accepted all the humans who escaped and passed by, and promulgated A set of strict rules and regulations have been implemented, and you must abide by them whenever you enter the city. If you abide by them, you will be protected by the Phoenix Capital and Mother Phoenix."
The eleven elders also listened respectfully. Zhai Qiuzi's eyes were wet and he said, "Can you imagine? In such a crazy era, one person and one phoenix actually protected one hundred thousand humans for seven whole weeks. Ten years, but Fuxi is about to die, and the mother phoenix is not immortal. Without the protection of the city and the mother phoenix, how long can humans live?"
Zhai Qiuzi said excitedly: "At that moment of life and death for a hundred thousand humans, Fuxi and Muhuang made the greatest decision in human history. Their two 'patron saints' sacrificed their lives at the same time and used the power of a certain monster to The three secret methods created a 'method of succession'. Fuxi's soul was shattered and he was not even qualified for reincarnation, but he was able to pass on all his power to a certain disciple, who became the next great monarch. He has abilities that exceed those of Fu Xi, and before he dies, he can also use this method to continue passing on, and the power of each generation of great monarchs will be accumulated. And the mother phoenix sacrificed herself to the city, and the great monarch can mobilize the mother phoenix's power at any time Power, and as long as there are living things in the city, the vitality of all things will continuously provide vitality for the power of the mother phoenix. The mother phoenix is not dead. After all, it is compared to the divine beast. Although the body dies, the soul remains, so it can also be independent. Protect the city.”
"How long has this city existed?" Zhuan Wangdong asked in awe.
Zhai Qiuzi Wei Ran sighed: "For more than 40 million years, it has survived the entire 'Era of Gods' and the 'Era of Rules' of three million years. So far, it can be regarded as the oldest antique in the world."
"That's not necessarily true," Mu Ziyun said in his heart, "There is also a demon stone that has experienced the two eras before the 'Dom Era'."
"What a pity." Zhai Qiuzi looked sad, "During the alternation between the 'Age of Gods' and the 'Era of Rules', this city encountered the greatest crisis, perhaps due to evil fate. At the end of the 'Age of Gods', the nineteenth century There are "seven ghosts and gods" in the temple, and the fourth ghost is "Pixiu". It is the descendant of Pixiu among the sixteen beasts of the "Dom Era". It is also a product of the "Dom Era". Pixiu is very sensitive to capture After seeing the presence of the Mother Phoenix and finding the Phoenix Capital, they launched a frantic attack on the city. Not only that, after being unable to break through for a long time, Pixiu's design attracted the third god - the great fierce god Surbaton. The original Phoenix Capital It was very big, and its current scale was less than one-fortieth of its original size. The city was destroyed, and the great monarch of that generation almost didn't have time to inherit the power. The two ghosts and gods attacked it for ten days, but the great monarch was replaced by three. The power was also inherited three times, but because the method of inheritance was not done in a hurry, most of the power was lost. This is really..."
Zhai Qiuzi banged his fist on the table, with an angry look on his face that could not be calmed down for a long time. Zhang Yuanlao continued: "Later, the consciousness of the mother phoenix awakened, it was reborn from the Phoenix Capital City Pool, and quickly fought with two ghosts and gods, and the three gods fought One day and one night, Pixiu and Surbaton were repulsed, but they were not injured. They just retreated to recuperate. They would attack again another day. However, the mother phoenix was not only seriously injured, but also lost most of its strength. After melting back into the city, it was once again About to be destroyed, the mother phoenix used her last consciousness to tell humans to abandon the city quickly. The two ghosts and gods came for it. Humans had a chance to escape, but no one chose to escape. Humans who had been guarded for 40 million years, instead I came here to protect the mother phoenix to the death, even if my body is broken into pieces, I am not willing to move a step."
Zhai Qiuzi continued: "Everything in the world seems to be destined. In that almost certain death situation, the 'Era of Rules' suddenly arrived. Surbaton and Pixiu were destroyed by the New God before they had time to destroy the mother phoenix, and Huangdu, who had a lucky escape, thought that it would usher in another wave of shocks in the new era, but unexpectedly, the 'Era of Rules'
What the beginning of the war brought was not a shock, but the destruction of all living beings and all races. Regarding this period of history, there is no record in Huangdu, as if... it was suddenly erased. It only records how miserable Huangdu was. Only one stone brick was left in the city, and the only remaining citizen was a great monarch. , relying on the power accumulated by generations of great monarchs, the great monarch hugged the stone bricks and lived underground for more than twenty years. He only stayed on the surface for ten breaths and captured the first child he saw. , returned to the underground, and spent ten years training him to become the next great monarch. The new great monarch continued to live underground, generation after generation, until the end of the apocalyptic disaster and the 'Era of Rules' after the destruction. , it was unbelievable peace and tranquility. Those raging gods and demons seemed to suddenly disappear again. In the midst of everything, the latest monarch emerged from the ground, found a place, and put the ancient stone bricks Insert it into the ground, and then build the city accordingly. After the Phoenix City rises again, the power of the mother phoenix is integrated into the entire city from that stone brick, and the great monarch also begins to recruit wandering people passing by. It has been passed down for three million years until today. "
"It's a pity," Zhai Qiuzi said distressedly, "after the battle between the two ghosts and gods, the mother phoenix lost consciousness, and its power was consumed for thousands of years. Although people came into the city later, the power of the mother phoenix has always been Continuously fading, for three million years, the people of Huangdu have tried every means to prolong the life of the mother phoenix, always trying to survive in danger, but now, the power of the mother phoenix has been depleted, so these old people Things are becoming more and more afraid of something happening. Like Osiris who invaded a few days ago, if I had completely used the power of the Phoenix, even if I could keep the Phoenix City safe for a while, the power of the Phoenix would definitely be completely destroyed. ."
"Then, what does the mother phoenix have to do with this stone?" Mu Ziyun looked down at the stone tablet and said with a hint of guilt: "This is just a stone I picked up casually. It doesn't seem to have any energy response."
"Hahaha," Zhai Qiuzi said with a smile, "Thirty thousand years ago, Huangdu knew a huge secret. It was recorded in the secrets of Huangdu. It was accidentally discovered by the great monarch at that time."
"Onomura is not a village," Zhuan Wangdong said, "it is also an 'old antique'."
"Yes." Zhai Qiuzi's eyes flashed and he said mysteriously, "Guess what place it is?"
Everyone had different opinions, and they couldn't guess. Lingdang asked Zhai Qiuzi not to be too pretentious and to speak quickly.
"I guess..." Mu Ziyun suddenly said, "It has something to do with the Three Holy Mountains."
Zhai Qiuzi looked at Mu Ziyun in surprise and praised: "You are indeed better than Ge Yuan. How did you find out?"
Everyone also quickly asked what Mu Ziyun had discovered.
Mu Ziyun replied: "After I moved the stone, it flew straight towards Sansheng Mountain. It spent the night peacefully and the stone did not fly back. But once it deviated from the direction, the stone immediately returned to the small mountain the next day. Nomura, I think there should be some connection between the two. Could it be..." Mu Ziyun smiled and said, "Old man, the secret you discovered is that the true territory of the holy beast is not the Three Sacred Mountains, but Onomura, honey. It actually came from Onomura.”
"No, no, no," Zhai Qiuzi shook his head and said, "The treasure comes from the Three Holy Mountains, but this mountain is actually very big, very big, and stretches hundreds of miles away. At the end of it is Ono Village. The holy beast is really exists, and... it is one of the 'Eight Saints' at the end of the 'Dom Era'. As for which one it is, no one knows, and the stone tablet in Onomura is not a stone, but is actually the egg of that holy beast. , no wonder you can't notice it, because creatures below the level of the holy beast can only feel that it is a stone, and the egg of this holy beast is the life-saving thing of the mother phoenix."
"Nirvana" Fang Tianmu suddenly said coldly.
Everyone looked at him, and Zhai Qiuzi smiled and said, "Do you understand Nirvana?"
Fang Tianmuleng said: "Only the phoenix can achieve nirvana, but what makes it achieve nirvana is fire."
"Yes!" Zhai Qiuzi praised, "Phoenix Nirvana, respectively the fire Nirvana of the phoenix and the stone nirvana of the phoenix, are not the abilities of the phoenix itself at all. When the phoenix was born, it brought with it a kind of strange fire, which is the nine fires in the world. The fourth fire in the book - Luan Feng. The phoenix first learned fire and then learned to survive. As long as there is that ball of fire of the phoenix, it will live forever. The reason why the phoenix cannot be compared with the phoenix as a mythical beast is precisely because The stone required for its stone nirvana does not come with it, and the search conditions are too harsh. Often a phoenix becomes a guardian spirit or dies before it can find the stone. That kind of stone must be better than that of a phoenix. It is a beast egg of the highest grade, and it must be pure, and the egg must contain enough divine energy. As long as the phoenix still has a trace of consciousness or body and is deposited in the pebble, it can be reborn in nirvana. For thirty thousand years, phoenix has been passed down from generation to generation. I tried my best not to bring back a single stone, but countless elites died until I met you, haha..."
"You are really trying to trick us. You are planning to let us die." Mu Ziyun said.
"No," Zhai Qiuzi said meaningfully: "Did you know that if a creature lives beyond the limit given by the rules of time, it is very likely to spy on the secrets of time. Things that live forever can often stagger time. At the mercy of me, this mother phoenix has existed for a long enough time, and its memory is connected to the great monarch, so I...can also perceive some...certain things outside of the rules of time, or hidden by the rules of time... .Hey, it’s hard to put it into words, but in short, the moment I saw you, I thought, it’s okay, this time it’s really okay.”
