"Okay, I accept your challenge."
"Thank you Xuanwu Sheng..."
"No need to thank you, you won!" Before Situ Fengya could finish his words, Xuanwu waved his hand and announced the result of the competition.
"Eh?"
"Ding... you have successfully defeated Xuanwu. Mission: The Road to Becoming a God. Completion Progress: 2/4"
"Eh!!!!"
This result is something that Situ Fengya cannot accept no matter what. Although he is not very bellicose, he is never afraid of fighting. What's more, being able to fight against a strong man like Xuanwu is a rare thing. , but Xuanwu didn't seem to want to fulfill Situ Fengya's wish.
"Holy God Xuanwu, this...isn't this appropriate?" Situ Fengya felt the muscles on his face twitching. He originally thought that Xuanwu was not as aggressive as Qinglong and was planning to have a real fight with him. Unexpectedly, Before he even took out his weapon, Xuanwu actually let him win so directly. This made Situ Fengya feel humiliated, and an unpleasant feeling suddenly surged into his heart.
"Don't get me wrong, this is not an insult to you." Xuanwu seemed to see through Situ Fengya's thoughts, so he explained: "This is not your fault. I can see that you actually really want to be with me. Let's fight, and I can vaguely feel that there is a very powerful force hidden in you. As time goes by, you will definitely become a more powerful existence than me. You are definitely qualified to be my opponent! But... ...But even if I knew that you were not my benefactor, when I heard a voice exactly like his, or even saw a face that was exactly like his, I knew very well that I would never take action against you."
Only then did Situ Fengya completely understand what was going on. Xuanwu didn't fight with him because of Lingyan's face. This made Situ Fengya's feeling of humiliation quickly dissipate, but soon It was quickly replaced by an unpleasant feeling.
Young Master, I am in China, and most of the reputation I have is earned through my own efforts. Why do I have to live under other people's names in the game!
"I see, then it's better to obey my orders than to be respectful." If he wasn't happy, there were some words that Situ Fengya would definitely not say out loud. However, he changed his mind and asked: "Holy God Xuanwu, I have something to ask you. I have been traveling in this world for a while, and I have heard more or less about Senior Lingyan's deeds, so I am particularly interested in Senior Lingyan's life. , I wonder if Holy God Xuanwu would like to tell me about the relationship between you and Senior Lingyan?"
"Of course, it's not something that can't be said." Xuanwu is straight-tempered and doesn't like to mince words. He closed his eyes and thought about it. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "The first time I met my benefactor, my brother, was in a house. A hundred years ago, during the war between gods and demons, my father and mother, who was also the previous Xuanwu, formed a resistance army with my benefactor’s brother to jointly fight against the Divine Realm Army.”
"The last Xuanwu?" Situ Fengya was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a thing as the last Xuanwu. Could it be that the names of the four holy beasts were just titles, and they were hereditary?
"Yes, my father is a giant python and my mother is a giant tortoise. I am their descendant, so I have the characteristics of both of them. But I was not born in the way that ordinary creatures reproduce, but from their souls. The combination of strength, but no matter in every aspect, they are my parents." Xuanwu answered Situ Fengya's doubts very patiently, and continued: "At that time, my parents' strength had reached the peak of the world, and they were Looking for a way to break through Shinto, but unfortunately, my parents have tried hard for many years, but in the end they still found nothing. Gradually, they gave up their obsession with breaking through Shinto, and instead regarded protecting the stability of the mainland as their mission. I was born for To be able to take the burden off their shoulders.”
"But unfortunately, my parents were killed in that battle between gods and demons. At that time, in order to transform the terrain of the God Layer and create conditions for the rebels to counterattack, my parents exhausted all their spiritual power. Unexpectedly, the God King took advantage of He killed my parents when they were at their weakest." Xuanwu's tone was calm. It seemed that after a hundred years of erosion, this incident had no impact on him. "After my parents were killed, they entrusted their spiritual core to To my benefactor. For us spiritual beasts, it is normal for the weak to eat the strong. What’s more, my parents died on the battlefield. After their spiritual cores were handed over to my benefactor, the right to use them naturally fell to my benefactor. In hand."
"You must be very clear about the value of spiritual cores. Ordinary people would break their heads and bleed in order to compete for the spiritual cores of ordinary spiritual beasts, let alone the spiritual cores of two of the most powerful spiritual beasts in the world. But my benefactor did not hesitate to choose I followed my parents' last words and handed those two spiritual cores into my hands, and that's how I achieved what I have achieved today."
Xuanwu's words were a bit difficult for Situ Fengya to understand. For them humans, it is a normal thing to fulfill the last wish of the deceased as much as possible. Even if the two spiritual cores are priceless treasures, this can only show that Lingyan is The person's conduct is very good, but it is not a great favor.
But Xuanwu didn't seem to have finished speaking. Just when Situ Fengya was about to ask, Xuanwu began to tell the next thing, and Situ Fengya immediately shut up.
"Not only that, after the war between gods and demons, my benefactor came to the Wanling Desert to see me again, and this time, he also brought another person, God King Xing." When mentioning Xing, Xuanwu His mood fluctuated slightly, but to Situ Fengya's surprise, his mood was not resentful, but rather... complicated.
"My benefactor told me that my parents were killed by Xing, but at that time Xing was controlled by bad people and had no choice but to do such things. To ordinary people, these words may sound like they are just to shirk responsibility. Excuses, but I know very well that Xing's strength is far superior to that of my parents. She has no need and does not bother to make such excuses. At that time, to her, I was just a random person on the roadside who could be crushed. Dead bugs." Xuanwu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I didn't think so much at the time. When I knew that this was the murderer of my parents, I rushed forward immediately. Xing did not dodge or block her, and let my fist fall on her body. Even though it does nothing."
"After I vented my anger, Xing told me that although she was not the real murderer of my parents, she still had unshirkable responsibility, so she was willing to pay the price for her mistakes. She told me that she would be close She will use her full strength to help me practice, and when I think I am strong enough to defeat her, I can come to her and she will give me a chance to avenge my parents."
"I agreed. From then on, I devoted myself to cultivation. The next time I saw Xing, she told me that my benefactor's brother had been killed."
"The news was like a bolt from the blue. I asked her who the murderer was who killed my benefactor's brother, but Xing didn't tell me. She just said that only if I become strong enough can I be qualified to know the truth."
"So, it took me fifty years to have the strength I have now. I thought my strength was enough. When I went to the level of God and stood in front of the star, I realized what her strength was. How terrifying it is that even now I can hardly survive a stick of incense in her hands. In addition, I also learned that guilt only accounts for a small part of the reason why Xing helped me, and the more is Because of the benefactor's brother's request. What's more, after the war between gods and demons, the benefactor's brother married Xing as his wife. He didn't have to do this. Even if it was because of my parents, the things he did He was as kind as a mountain to me. So from that moment on, I swore that I would protect the continent, because this was not only my wish, but also the wish of my benefactor, my brother."
"After listening to what I have said, do you still think that I am humiliating you by not fighting with you?" Xuanwu told a long story, but Situ Fengya listened with interest. At the same time, Ling Yan's image in Situ Fengya's mind It also becomes more complete.
"Thank you Holy God Xuanwu for being willing to tell me so many things." Situ Fengya saluted Xuanwu and bowed at the same time to express his gratitude.
"It doesn't matter, these things are just old things to me." Xuanwu slowly shook his head, and then said: "Where do you plan to go next?"
"What's next?" Situ Fengya was slightly stunned. He really hadn't thought about what would happen next. If this counts as defeating Xuanwu, then their next stop should be the White Tiger Kingdom, which is closest to the Xuanwu Kingdom. "Well... we should go to the White Tiger Kingdom next. What's wrong, Holy God Xuanwu? Is there anything wrong?"
"Well... I suggest that you don't go to the White Tiger Country for the time being, because even if you go at this moment, you won't be able to see the White Tiger." Xuanwu's expression was a little solemn, which gave Situ Fengya a bad feeling.
"Can't see the White Tiger? Could it be...that something unexpected happened in the White Tiger Kingdom?" Situ Fengya asked tentatively.
"You can understand it this way, but what is happening in the White Tiger Country now is an internal matter of the White Tiger Country. Even if Qinglong Suzaku and I want to help, we have no legitimate excuse to take action. And this matter is definitely not yours, humans from another world. You can control it, so I advise you to go to the Suzaku Kingdom first. It won’t be too late to go to the White Tiger Kingdom after this period of time." Xuanwu didn’t explain much, but it can be inferred from his solemn expression that in the White Tiger Kingdom What happened was indeed serious.
"Okay... I understand. Thank you Holy God Xuanwu." Situ Fengya did not continue to ask. He nodded and accepted Xuanwu's suggestion.
"It's okay, see you again when we have the opportunity." Xuanwu waved his hand, and then disappeared into a burst of yellow sand.
