Chapter 249: An Appointment
After the second daughter fell into a short silence, Duan Wanling took the lead in speaking: "Liruo, the matter has come to this, I think you should leave as soon as possible, this place has nothing to do with your Huayue Tower, and there is no need for your help with such a big person, there is no safety here anywhere." ”
Li Ruoyan immediately retorted: "Why should I leave, although that senior is powerful, but this place is barren, if you are here with Qian Shi for a long time, you must need some attendants, your Flying Star Tower is in crisis now, I think you should leave, hurry up and find some rescuers to recapture the Flying Star Tower." Liruo's words are very sharp.
Duan Wanling said angrily: "I don't bother you about the matter of the Flying Star Tower, and who knows if the affairs of the Northern Regions are behind your Huayue Tower, otherwise why did the fifth floor of the Northern Regions collapse so quickly, but only the Huayue Tower has not changed." ”
Li Ruo said: "My Huayue Mansion has always been for the peace of the Northern Regions, unlike some people who have to force others to join their own forces in order to get the recipes of the ancient kitchen gods. ”
The two daughters actually quarreled with each other, and they didn't like each other, and they both wanted to take the opportunity to let each other leave this place, and in the end they almost had a competition on the spot, but the second daughter still knew the severity, and it was better not to make any mess at this moment in this place, so as not to make the adult unhappy.
After some arguments to no avail, the two daughters also went to their own tents, thinking about how to deal with each other next, and at the same time thinking of more things about the Northern Regions, as well as Qian Shi and the big man, they really wanted to check the abyss rift, but they were afraid, if they were accidentally involved in it, it would be a catastrophe, they didn't know about this abyss crack, and the only thing they could do now was to wait.
Beneath the cracks of the abyss, boundless black......
Qian Shi was in a very peculiar place at this time, I don't know how deep it was underground, the light was a little dim, all lit by a few crumbling candles, it felt like it would be extinguished at any time, the ground around it was all broken rocks, and there were a lot of fallen leaves, and ...... The dry bones of various creatures, many of which are clearly recognizable as human bones, are buried among the dead leaves and rubble, which is shocking.
In the distance is a row of bookshelves, some of them are dilapidated, some of them have collapsed, all kinds of old classics and bamboo slips are scattered all over the place, simple stone ornaments are also crooked, and the darkness everywhere does not know where to lead, although it is weird, but here is a vast and boundless feeling, as if it can lead to another world.
At first, Qian Shi fell down and thought that he might be buried here, but he didn't expect that in mid-air, a black cloud wrapped him, and then he slowly fell here, although he was curious about this place, but Qian Shi was still more worried about what was going on above the Xifeng Grand Canyon, that person's strength was really too terrifying.
Qian Shi was about to think of any way to climb up, when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, it was the man in white, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Qian Shi, don't think of a way, this place is not something that can be accessed casually, and few people in the entire Tianhua Continent know about the existence here. The man in white said softly.
He didn't know what to do in the face of this man, but he had a feeling that this man didn't seem to be hostile to him, but he still said carefully: "You, how do you know my name?"
The man in white said: "Your name, I'm afraid there is no one in the upper echelons of the Northern Regions who doesn't know it, but not only do I know your name, I also know that you were born in Falling Moon Village, and you have the soul of a spirit-eating demon gluttonous sealed in your body, and this is also the reason why your parents fell." The man in white said this, and his expression became solemn, as if he had thought of something that he couldn't forget.
Listening to the man's words, Qian Shi was a little stunned, how could the person in front of him know so much about these things, and he also knew the reason for his parents, and said eagerly: "You, who are you, how do you know so many things about me?
Looking at Qian Shi's excited appearance, the man patted Qian Shi's shoulder: "Your parents and I are like brothers, many things are long, I came here this time to find you, to complete the agreement with your parents, to take care of you." As if to make Qian Shi trust himself, the man in white took out a piece of jade pendant from his body and broke it into half as he spoke.
"You should have this other half of the jade pendant on you, and together they form a gluttonous grimace. As he spoke, he handed it to Qian Shi.
Now Qian Shi really let down his guard against the person in front of him, yes, he does have the other half of the jade pendant on his body, at this time, it is really as the man said that it is the appearance of gluttony, Qian Shi has thought countless times before, what is carved on this jade pendant, and finally saw the complete appearance at this time, and this jade pendant is also the only thing left to him by his father and mother.
"It seems that you are really the old friend of my parents, can you tell me about them? Qian Shi looked a little lonely.
The man in white said: "My name is Hao Wantian, you can call me Uncle Tian in the future, I am from the thirty-six islands of the Tianhua Continent, and your parents and I are from the same family, we have had a good relationship since we were children." ”
The name of Thirty-six Islands surprised Qian Shi, this place can be said to be the strongest food power in Tianhua Continent, the south, the north, and Zhongzhou are incomparable, and it is very mysterious.
Seeing Qian Shi's expression, Hao Wantian continued: "Although you have been living in the Northern Regions, you must also know something about the Thirty-six Islands, which are forces outside the world, although they are called islands, but each island is a state land, vast and boundless, which can be called the pillar of the Tianhua Continent and the beginning of the inheritance of the kitchen road. ”
Qian Shi didn't expect that his father and mother would have such a big background, and Thirty-six Islands was the name he had always heard of in rumors.
Hao Wantian continued: "Thirty-six islands are not something that can be explained in a few words, he is not a single sect or force, the relationship is complicated, I will explain it to you in detail in the future, and your parents just because they don't want to get involved in the disputes, they left the thirty-six islands and went to the northern region to live a secluded life, everything was fine, but sixteen years ago, there was a sudden big change." ”
Hearing this, Qian Shi knew that an important place was coming, and this was also the key to affecting their family, what their parents experienced back then, and this matter about the soul of gluttony, he had asked several grandfathers many times in Luoyue Village, but they were all vague, and they didn't say anything about the cause and effect.
Sighing Hao Wantian said: "Sixteen years ago, ancient fierce beasts suddenly appeared everywhere on the Tianhua Continent, extremely weird, this was sealed by the power thousands of years ago, but for some reason it appeared at the same time, the distribution area is all over the continent, destroying one side, for this kind of thing Thirty-six Islands naturally can't ignore it, we sent a large number of masters to kill the seal." ”
"And your parents just relied on the strength of the two of them to seal the gluttony in your body, at that time you were just born, if it weren't for their Falling Moon Village would have been razed to the ground, although the forces in the south and north regions had made a move, but they attached too much importance to interests, and basically did superficial work, which also caused the loss of the thirty-six islands to be very heavy, and it took a lot of effort to kill or seal those fierce beasts. ”
"And it was at this time that a force in the Thirty-six Islands split out, they called themselves Broken Light, extremely secretive, these people are the people who are now meddling in the forces of the Northern Regions, occupying the Flying Star Tower and secretly controlling the Northern Regions are their means, and now many wars on the mainland are also related to them!"
