Chapter 949
: Introduction
"All deaths and disasters originate from changes in belief!"
"..."
This is King Shen’s summary of the weirdness and ominousness of this place.
Its tone was heavy and its expression was a little erratic, as if it had fallen into its own memories.
I didn't interrupt it and waited quietly.
After a long time, King Shen sighed quietly: "I have been here for many years, so long that I don't even know when life originated, and they... were also here a long time ago.
At that time, the place we are now was not like this. It was a piece of fertile land. The land was so fertile that oil and water could be squeezed out. There was a very high mountain with countless gold on the mountain. They lived at the foot of the mountain...
At that time, I was just beginning to awaken my spiritual wisdom and was very curious. I was wandering around. Suddenly one day I came here and saw such a treasure land. How could I not feel the joy of hunting? I simply took root on the high mountain next to the tribe.
Coming down, it can be said that we are on a par with them.
Until one day, they suddenly escorted a large number of people to this mountain...
Those people, including men, women, and even young children, were all stripped of their clothes and tied into a bunch...
From their conversation, I learned that they had just launched a war and conquered a nearby tribe. These people were all prisoners. According to their practice, they went up the mountain to worship their gods...
Soon after, they began to kill, skinning and beheading the prisoners. They would even take out the prisoners' hearts, hold them in their hands, squeeze out the blood and drink it, while the victims were not even completely breathless.
They are barbaric and cruel...
At that time, there were not so many people in the world, and there were so many people everywhere. They were probably the first people I saw, but they made me feel frightened. It was the first time I knew that there was another ethnic group that could be so cruel.
Use the cruelest means to treat your own kind...
Such a place made me very uneasy, so I left there and never set foot there again for many years. The second time I went there was purely an accident. It had been a hundred years since I first went there.
However, when I saw them again, I was really shocked, and I wasn't even sure if I was going to the right place.
What I saw was no longer a group of savages. They no longer wore animal skins, no longer performed bloody sacrifices, no longer cannibalized, and no longer worshiped the original gods.
civilization……
At that time, I actually had such an idea.
They built a city here, began to open up land for farming, and livestock herding. They no longer waged war with other countries, which was very different from before. They even... built a temple outside the city. Well, that is where we are now, offering sacrifices.
Worshiping completely different gods, there was really an endless stream of believers here at that time!!
At that time, I realized that in the past hundred years, amazing changes must have happened here, otherwise their beliefs would not change!!
At the same time...I'm also a little creepy..."
At this point, King Shen's words stopped abruptly.
I can probably understand his mood at that time. Faith can make people firm and fearless. At the same time, it is also a very scary thing. It can drive people to do unimaginable things. Changing beliefs is tantamount to making people reborn.
, it will bleed, and even...even if it bleeds, it may not be able to change it. This is too common in human history.
"Sure enough... something happened here not long after."
King Shen said: "At that time, I was far away from here, but I also felt inexplicable heart palpitations. My intuition told me that it was the power of the earth's veins, which became chaotic and violent. When I arrived, the ancient city had disappeared.
, that’s right, it has completely disappeared. Even the current desert can’t be seen. It’s like someone wiped it out. This desert only appeared after many years, slowly revealing the past of the ancient city.
corner of...
And on the hilltop not far away, there was a man sitting, covered in blood, facing the sunset, with the corners of his mouth raised, smiling...
After a long time, he sighed softly and said - this place... is really not peaceful, and I'm afraid it won't be peaceful either in the future. Forget it, I can only do this and leave it to my descendants!
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards me, his steps were very strange. I was clearly underground, but I was suddenly restrained...
Then... he caught me, looked at me for a while, smiled, and said - it's a good medicine, but it's a pity that it's not the picking season yet, forget it, let's leave it to future generations, since it's not very good
If you are kind enough to leave behind disasters, you must also leave some blessings for future generations. If you eat them up and wipe them clean, it will be difficult to see each other again in the future.
After that, he left.
Who is this person, do you need me to tell you?"
My ancestors!!
I smiled bitterly, this ginseng king and our family really have a... deep connection!!
The other party's weird steps, yet able to imprison him, aren't they exactly the Nine Steps of Zhulong from our etiquette sect?
It should be a heavenly official who remembered Laoshen and recorded the location in his handbook, so... many years later, the young Tianguan came... found Laoshen accurately, and then knifed him
The top of the old ginseng was cut off...
According to King Shen, our ceremonial officials... should have also participated in the destruction of the Hugui tribe's dead tribe, and played an extremely important role. It is very possible that... this place is the heavenly official.
Sealed.
So, Lord Water, who was focused on targeting our family, contacted the evil creature in the ruins. The two hit it off and became almost natural allies!!
In this way, all this can be explained, and the big shopkeeper of Humen may have seen from some clues that the seal was made by the heavenly official, so he warned me...
And again and again...another ancestral cause and effect!!!
I can't count how many times I have taken the blame for my ancestors and wiped their butts. It's quite a magical thing. Throughout history, there are traces of their stumbling everywhere. I didn't know it was because they were so tormented.
, or I am too unlucky, I always end up bumping into the karma left by them inexplicably, and these old bastards never provoke those who are easy to bully, and they will just start trouble on the heads of those ruthless ones. If it weren't for my master,
I don’t know how many times I’ve died. I have too many enemies. I guess it’s not enough to chop me into dumpling fillings for people to enjoy. Each person can’t even get a piece the size of a fingernail...
I have encountered this kind of nonsense so many times that I was completely numb. I was not even in the mood to complain. I was silent for a moment and said: "So, do you think the root cause of the disaster here lies in the change of beliefs and the conflict between old and new beliefs?"
What caused it? Those who fought back against them...were the tribesmen who still maintained their old beliefs? In the end, a heavenly official sealed this place and ended the turmoil? "
King Shen said without batting an eyelid: "I have not seen anyone still believing in the old gods. Their new beliefs represent order and make their lives better. The old gods have been completely abandoned by them. Therefore, I am more concerned about the source of the unrest.
It tends to be that one——the old god!!”
Hu Yue'er was surprised: "Is there really a god in this world?"
King Shen asked: "Since there are countless demons and ghosts, why is there no God?"
Hu Yue'er shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't seen it."
King Shen also fell silent, and after a moment he said: "I haven't seen it either..."
After saying that, he stood up: "This is all I know. I have told you that as for your partners, I will bring them here. Let's be clear...goodbye!!"
He was a bachelor, so he hooked up with Lao Shen and turned around and left. He didn't stay for a moment longer and didn't want to say a word to me.
Naturally, I have no intention of retaining him, and I am still digesting what King Ginseng has learned...
Bloody sacrifice...
Peeling and so on...
How similar is this to the death methods of those who died before?
Qian Guangqi once said that the ancestor of the Fuyu people, Dongming Shengwang, once claimed that he was born from eggs. This kind of weird propaganda... probably came from the former Dead Man Tribe. He even speculated that it might be members of the former Dead Man Tribe.
It is believed that the skin is a kind of imprisonment, so peeling is advocated, just like laying eggs, it is a kind of breaking out of the shell and rebirth.
So, this is the belief of the old god?
And the recent series of dead people... are they offering sacrifices to the old god? Breaking the order of the twelve divine laws?
My heart was not at peace and I thought of many things.
Hu Yue'er suddenly approached me and whispered: "Brother Wei, this monster...has no good intentions towards you! Do you really believe that he will help you pick up your friends?"
"Besides this, we seem to have no other choice, right? The big shopkeeper said that it is impossible to live in the desert and it is very dangerous. My companions are still in the desert. For them... I am willing to take a gamble!"
I smiled and said: "As for whether he will help us pick up people honestly, it depends on how afraid he is of this magic weapon on my body. I am more inclined... he will be honest.
Do things in a practical way!”
That Ginseng King is not simple, he should have seen the secret of the wind chime...
This thing has been on me for too long. The more I get to know it, the more terrifying it feels, almost unfathomable. Since the wind chimes actively frighten this ginseng king, I don’t think it will turn around and harm me. This old thing is very timid.
Not even as bold as that old ginseng plant, very cautious...
I didn't know how it was going to welcome my master and the others. Under such circumstances, I didn't dare to sleep anymore. I sat at the door of the temple and waited quietly with a hundred-pi knife tray in my arms.
One night passed like this.
Hu Yue'er felt that Ginseng King was probably lying to me.
And just when the night came to dawn, two people, one large and one small, slowly walked out of the Populus euphratica forest...
Seeing these two people, a smile burst out on my face, I stood up and said, "My master is here..."
