Xiong Xi mentioned the "Sacred Tree of Agelessness", which attracted the Demon King's attention.

The Silver Demon King looked at Xiong Xi carefully, with some interest in his eyes.

However, when Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked Xiong Xi what the "Sacred Tree of Agelessness" was, Xiong Xi dropped the topic, drank a cup of tea, shook his head and said, "Well, anything without a sacred tiger is just empty talk.

, we need Shenhu to verify it.”

After saying that, Xiong Xi stood up and left, saying that he had been staying in the inn, and if there was any news about Shenhu, just find someone to call him.

Xiong Xi's move was obviously not to let go of the hawk when he saw the rabbit. He stood up and walked out while observing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Fifth Master and Zhan Zhao nodded tacitly, without trying to persuade him to stay. Zhan Zhao suddenly raised his hand before Xiong Xi went downstairs.

Xiong Xi quickly stopped.

But it was not him but the waiter who called Zhan Zhao, saying he wanted to eat and order Yutanglou's signature dish.

Xiong Xi went downstairs a little disappointed.

Master Wu winked slightly at his side, and Shark followed Xiong Xi.

Also following Xiong Xi were several shadow guards on the roof.

After they left, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both turned around and saw Zhao Zhen waving to them.

The guys just started to sell out the seats on the second and third floors. A big table was set up on the third floor, and everyone sat together and chatted while eating.

Both Yin Hou and Tianzun asked the Demon King, "Do you know the immortal tree that Xiong Xi talked about?"

The Demon King smiled slightly and nodded.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at the Demon King with some doubts - since you came back, old god, many things have been related to you, so who is the one who caused the decline?

The Demon King waved his hand and asked with a smile, "I'll tell you something interesting. Have you ever seen a giant?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought for a while - does Sharaka count?

The Demon King said, "When I was in the Eagle Dynasty, I met people from the four major divine tribes. The Ice Fish Tribe is already the tallest among all the tribes."

Yin Hou also nodded, "He is indeed very tall, and his skin is whiter than that of ordinary people, with a slight blue or gray tinge."

"Ice fish are usually six to seven feet tall, and the tallest one can be close to eight feet." The Demon King said, "After the destruction of ice fish, I have never seen anyone taller than this one."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought about it and realized that it was indeed very high...

Zhan Zhao also reached out and touched the fifth master's head and chin, "So Yutang, you haven't grown yet?"

Bai Yutang was speechless and brought a big crab to Zhan Zhao, asking him to concentrate on eating and listening.

Zhan Zhao opened the crab while listening to the Demon King continue to speak.

"When I was traveling in the Western Regions when I was young, I met a strange man named Bandit Bian. He was a Uighur mage in charge of sacrifices and funerals." The demon king told everyone the story, "Bandian Bian took me to

Located in a canyon near Puchanghai, Uighur, he entered a cave. The entrance of the cave was not big, and there were many forks in it. He held a map and chose the forks according to a certain direction, turning left and right, and the forked road ahead was crossed.

It got wider and wider, and finally we walked into a main road without forks. This road was nearly three feet high, unusually spectacular, and it looked like the walls were man-made. Because there were slight downhill roads along the way, I calculated the distance.

, you should be dozens of feet below the ground at this time."

Everyone was surprised to hear it - so deep? Where are you going? To the underworld?

"The bandit said that he discovered this place. He really couldn't figure out what was going on inside, so he asked me to analyze it for him." The demon king continued, "We walked in that magnificent crypt for a long time, and found that

A temple-like building appeared in front of it. Four stone pillars that could not be surrounded by five people stood in front of the stone door. The door was more than three feet high and two pillars wide. The scale of this temple was larger than the one used for sacrifices in Zhaocheng of the Eagle Dynasty.

The temple is several times bigger, and since it is underground, the slightest sound will emit bursts of echoes, which is astonishing."

Everyone listened in fascination, because the demon king's nonsense can be regarded as "stained with evil deeds." Zhan Zhao and the others could not tell whether the old man was really telling the truth about what he had seen or heard, or whether he was deceiving people again, so they all raised their heads and glanced at Yin Hou and Tianzun.

It's just that the soy sauce team is currently holding chopsticks in their mouths and the other holding a spoon, staring at the Demon King intently. Their expressions are similar to those of the fourth child when listening to a book, with a look of belief on his face.

"When I entered the gate of the temple, I saw three stone statues. One of them was sitting and two were standing next to them. I just walked in and thought they were stone statues at first glance, but when I got closer...guess what?"

The demon king also gave it a try and looked at the silly children around him who were as curious as fledglings. He smiled slightly and said, "Those are not three stone statues, but three sets of skeletons!"

Everyone's eyes widened, "Skeleton?!"

The demon king nodded.

"Those three skeletons are all humanoid, huge in size, more than one foot tall. The one sitting in the middle may be up to two feet tall when standing. The skin on their bodies has dried up and weathered, which means they are in the form of mummies. They

A piece of toenail on the foot is as big as a basin! The surface of the dried skin is covered with ocher dust. After wiping it off, the skin underneath shows a light blue color. These giants wear clothes sewn from animal skins.

They were barefoot and without shoes, and all three of them wore huge masks on their heads. The mask of the person sitting in the middle was a human face, with sharp edges and bulging eyes, which looked very big. The two standing next to him were wearing masks.

They were all bird-head masks. The bird was completely different from the current birds. The beak was particularly large, almost covering the entire face, and it protruded forward in a hook shape. It also wore animal skins and held a weapon...

…And these masks and weapons are all made of gold.”

When the demon king said this, he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Zhao Zhen looked fascinated - is there really such a crypt? I want to go in and have a look too!

"There is only a temple and three giant skeletons in this crypt, and there is nothing else. The bandits took me around to the back of the temple. Behind the temple is a whole wall with murals. It depicts a sacrifice or a pilgrimage.

The scene. There is a huge tree in the middle of the painting. The tree is divided into three layers, with three branches on each layer. On each branch, there is a bird and a scorching sun. On the top of the tree, there is a giant bird and a sun.

The sun with the largest wheel. Around the tree, a large number of people are worshiping. The clothes and masks of those people are the same as the three giant skeletons in the temple. There are also some architectural paintings around, which should be houses.

There are also some animals around those who worship, they should be tigers, wolves, bears, deer and the like. The painting style of this mural is quite special, something I have never seen before. On the various pillars in the cave

There are patterns, mainly depicting the tree and various birds...but not a single word was found in the entire crypt."

"Later, Bandit Burm told me that this crypt was not the only one he had discovered with giant skeletons. Over the years, he had discovered several crypts in hidden mountains and canyons, all of a similar style.

There are giants big and small, but none of them are smaller than a giant. And they are all accompanied by this kind of weird murals, and the focus of the depiction is the big tree in the middle." Demon King said, "I have been studying bandit burials for many years.

He said that earlier than Yanhuang Chiyou, this kind of giants lived on the ground. The giants would grow taller and taller as they grew older, and the giants were immortal and had the ability to be close to the gods.

What provides this kind of divine power is this kind of immortal tree. Later, I don’t know what disaster happened, the immortal tree began to die in large numbers, and the giants who lost their energy source also began to die... In the end, the giants took the only remaining

A sacred tree of immortality has moved underground." The demon king pointed downward and said, "In other words, Bandit Burian believes that hundreds of feet or even deeper below the ground, there is another world with immortal giants.

The tribe lives there. If you can find the entrance to the underground world, and after entering, being nourished by the tree of immortality, ordinary people will gradually turn into giants. Moreover, everything in the world where the giant tribe lives is made of gold.

of."

Everyone listened with gusto and exclaimed that it was magical. At the same time, they thought - is this true?

"Old man, have you really seen the skeleton of a giant?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The Demon King nodded, "There is indeed someone who stole the burial, but he is no longer alive."

"The theory of giants..." Zhao Zhen also said, "I have indeed seen it in some palace secret volumes, but most of them are legends, and there are no records of giant skeletons being unearthed anywhere.

This is the first time I have heard of this."

"Gold and immortality." Yin Houzhi shook his head, "It's over, the two favorite things of these crazy people have appeared."

Tianzun nodded, "Add a martial arts secret book, and you have all three. The bears in the martial arts community are coming out to seek death again!"

"Let's talk about it." Zhan Zhao was curious, "Why did Xiong Xi ask about the Divine Tree of Agelessness? And what does it have to do with Yinxue? Is it possible that Yinxue can still find the giants underground?"

"How many thousands of years have the giants been alive now...are they still living underground?" Mr. Wu felt that the underground was quite crowded. It was the underworld of the King of Hell and the city of giants. Maybe the two families were still neighbors...

"Now that I think about it, isn't there several kinds of beasts used to make sacred objects in the Mountain God Palace?" Demon King said his speculation, "And in those murals I saw back then, there were indeed some animals participating in sacrifices with the giants. This

The classification of the Mountain God Palace is also quite interesting. Let’s not talk about fire foxes, silver foxes, etc., let’s talk about the snow wolves... The leader of Seiler’s wolf pack in the Black Wind Forest is the snow wolf that has been passed down from generation to generation. And Seiler seems to have a certain

It has a memory given by heaven. It is definitely different from ordinary wolves. It is easy to communicate and trustworthy. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has divinity... The human race relies on writing to record history and pass it down from generation to generation. After Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucian scholars,

, many ancient histories have been dated. Once people do not have written records, they will know nothing about the past. Why do the bandits know so many things? Just like the burial flowers, they have been in various ancient tombs.

Going in and out, those files that record history, the only way to escape man-made destruction is to be buried with them. But animals are different. The history and ancestral precepts of animal groups are not recorded in words. In the giant crypt I went to,

There is no writing...so if you want to find the location of the giants, you may not be able to find them through writing, but through those animals."

Everyone thought about it and nodded - it makes sense.

"So the Mountain God Palace may have something to do with the giant clan back then?" Zhao Zhen asked, "The choice of the main god of the Mountain God Palace this time also has something to do with the Immortal Tree?"

Tianzun and Yin Hou both "tsk" again, "How come such a mysterious thing is being inquired about by these gangsters?"

The Demon King looked at his soy sauce team and smiled. He held his chin and said to Zhan Zhao and the others who were still immersed in the story, "There is a very strange thing."

Everyone looks at the Demon King.

The soy sauce team suddenly sighed - here it comes! Take a big breath!

Sure enough, I heard the Demon King say unhurriedly, "The name of the Immortal Tree was given by Bandit Burial himself."

Everyone was stunned.

The Demon King spread his hands and said, "We all said that there are no words in the caves of the Giants. The name of the Immortal Tree comes from an article written by Bandit Burial about the Giants, which mentioned the Divine Tree. This article was written by Bandit Burial.

It was written to deceive the Uighur royal family, in order to defraud some money so that he can continue to look for the cave of the giants."

Everyone looked at the Demon King with their mouths wide open, so - how much of this story is true and how much is deceptive?

Tianzun and Yin Hou continued to wash the pot, and as expected, they couldn't believe nine and a half of the ten words this monster said.

"You just listened carefully to the story!" Seeing the shocked expressions on the children's faces, the Demon King explained, "Giant skeletons exist, and I have seen the murals with my own eyes. These are all real.

.As for the legends about the giants moving underground, the immortal tree that can make people immortal, and the city of giants being filled with gold...these were written in the article about Bandit Burial. There is no way to verify whether they are true or not. Bandit Burial is dead.
To be continued...
