Chapter 159: The Holy City
"Hmm..." Li Xuan just opened his eyes and saw Moon Shadow looking at him with a smile on his face, he was taken aback, like an injured little girl, "You... Don't come here!"
A few people who were talking to Zhao Yang hurriedly walked over when they heard Li Xuan's voice.
Seeing that Lu Ming and the others were safe and sound, Li Xuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and immediately, he felt like his heart was being pinched, because he didn't see Lin Feng's figure, and immediately asked eagerly, "Where is Lin Feng?"
Seeing the sad look on everyone's faces, Li Xuan only felt a tingling in his heart, and suddenly burst into tears: "We owe them too much!"
"You don't have to! He died in the most glorious form, and you should be happy and proud of him. Zhao Yang opened his mouth and said, he could only comfort everyone like this.
Li Xuan looked at Zhao Yang with teary eyes, "Are you?"
"Hah!" Zhao Yang chuckled, "I forgot to introduce myself." My name is Zhao Yang, and like you, I am a member of the Mercenary Alliance. ”
"You know who he is? He's the Minister's apprentice. Let's talk about the minister..."Xie Yu was like a long-tongued woman, telling Zhao Yang's relationship with the minister, and Zhao Yang could only smile and nod in this regard.
"Fortunately, I will be lucky!" Li Xuan shook hands with Zhao Yang with a smile, but he was very puzzled in his heart, the minister and him were like father and son, but he had never heard the minister mention that he had an apprentice, so he was skeptical about Zhao Yang's identity.
"That's right. I think I felt like I had become a demon. Li Xuan seemed to recall something.
"Khan, what do you think. That's because of the Blood Moon Ritual, didn't everyone end up becoming demons?" Lu Ming patted Li Xuan on the shoulder.
"Really?" Li Xuan looked at Lu Ming in confusion.
Lu Ming was looked at a little unnaturally by Li Xuan.
"I'll tell you!" Moon Shadow said, and the Willow Slanted Men stood in front of him, "What do you want to do?"
"He has a right to know the truth!" Moon Shadow pushed a few people away.
"You..." Lu Ming just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Xuan, and looked at Moon Shadow again, "Say it!"
Moon Shadow was silent, "You should be mentally prepared first!"
Li Xuan frowned, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Say it!"
"Actually, you and I are not human. No, it should be said that it is half-human and half-demon, born half-human and half-demon. As she spoke, Moon Shadow took on the form of a demon, a pair of black wings and a pair of bone wings. "That's who I am
What we really look like. ”
"What are you kidding!How could Li Xuan..."Lu Ming didn't finish speaking, he was grabbed by Li Xuan, "I am an orphan, and I was picked up by the Minister and Elder Li Yan from the orphanage. Other than that, I don't know anything about my origins. I hope this time I can solve the mystery of my origins. After speaking, he looked at Moon Shadow again: "You go on!"
Moon Shadow nodded, "This has to start from ancient times. At that time, humans and demons were still at war. Bloody battles in the sky, beacon fire and wolf smoke tell one tragic song after another, and countless desolate souls wander in the world, looking for their homeland. However, not all humans and demons like to fight. In order to escape the impact of the troubled times, some humans or demons have moved away from their homeland in search of the pure land of their dreams. ”
"No matter how dark and turbulent the times are, there must always be a pure land. That pure land is the hometown of you and me. Moon Shadow looked at Li Xuan affectionately.
"After many years of searching for the Pure Land in our hearts, our human ancestors finally found a place of seclusion. But we also found our demon ancestors. ”
"I thought that humans and demons were destined to be incompatible, and that Pure Land would also become a new battlefield, and a battle was inevitable. But that's not the case!"
"The demon side took the lead in sending a representative, expressing its willingness to divide the land with the human race. ”
"People who love peace and tranquility, who never want to cause disputes, have agreed to the decision to divide the land. Then the two sides made a blood oath that the well water would not interfere with the river water. ”
"At first, there was constant friction between humans and demons, but because of the blood oath, they didn't do anything. ”
"Thousands of years have passed, perhaps because I am a little tired of the current life, and humans and demons have begun to come and go. At first, it was inevitable to quarrel, but later, the two sides gradually understood tolerance, care and love. So, they joined forces to build a paradise for demons and humans. ”
"Human beings use wisdom to design architectural drawings, and demons are strong and responsible for carrying and building. With the joint efforts of both sides, the pure land in the heart gradually took on its own appearance. ”
Soon the image of the heart appeared before their eyes, and they lived together and laughed together. This paradise is revered by them as the Holy City, a holy place in their hearts. It's also our hometown. ”
"The passage of time may be a gift from God to the Holy City. A small ball of light appeared above the center of the Holy City, and a soft light sprinkled through every corner of the Holy City. Something unexpected happened, and the demons gradually shed them
Ugly appearance, turned into a human form. ”
"And we are the descendants of the combination of demons and humans! I say this, you understand, right?" Moon Shadow looked at Li Xuan cautiously, and at the same time looked forward to Li Xuan's answer.
"I can't seem to believe it, right?" Li Xuan said helplessly, when the Blood Moon Ceremony was held before, everyone had a mutation, but the changes of other people were traceable, but he couldn't explain it himself, listening to Moon Shadow say this, it made sense, after all, his appearance after the mutation was almost exactly the same as Moon Shadow's, it couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Liu Xian and the others were silent, Moon Shadow didn't look like he was lying, and Li Xuan's various abnormalities also had reasonable explanations.
"And what happened then? You... Why did we leave the Holy City?" Li Xuan asked curiously.
There was a hint of sadness in Moonshadow's eyes, and she was quickly consumed by anger, "More than twenty years ago, the Holy City welcomed its first 'guest' since its establishment for countless years. ”
"He held in his hand a bead that was indistinguishable from the ball of light in the center of the Holy City. And the purpose of his coming to the Holy City was to capture the ball of light. ”
"Our people fought to protect the gifts of the heavens, but in the end came the end. In that battle, the battle was dark, blood stained every piece of land in the holy city, and in the end the holy city was also destroyed, and only a few of us half-old children escaped. You had just been born at the time, so I didn't have any impression of it. ”
"When we escaped from the Holy City, the first person we met was Shen Lu. At this, Moon Shadow couldn't help but grit her teeth. "In the end, Shen Lu adopted us. However, without the blessing of the ball of light, the demonic bloodline in our body was revealed, and this became our second nightmare. ”
"Shen Lu imprisoned us in a laboratory and took our blood for sample experiments, during which we were tortured and worse than dead. In the end, Shen Lu was even more frenzied to build an orphanage called Shengxing, the real purpose of which was to use those children for experiments. ”
Shen Lu believes that the blood factor of the demon can change the original genes of the human body to obtain the blood inheritance of the demon, and believes that the changed genes can be inherited sexually. ”
"The Shen Lu and the Seven Demons you saw made the other six people be injected with the demon's bloodline factor before the mutation occurred. ”
"Livestock!" everyone was furious, what Shen Lu did was simply outrageous.
