Chapter 126: Stealing the Gods
Everyone stood up to greet them, and even the majestic man stood up respectfully.
Li Xin'an observed the woman who came in, and secretly thought:
Even the leaders of the tribe have such respect for her, it seems that she has a very high status. ”
The woman in red, known as the Holy Maiden, walked into the house, her lips opened lightly, and a pleasant voice came:
"I listened to the teachings of the god of fire in the church, listened to the words of the god of fire, and came to meet the heroes. ”
"The Vulcan knows me?"
Li Xin'an suspected that this saintess was a god stick, because he didn't believe that the god of fire would pay attention to him, after all, his strength was low, and he had never been in contact with the god of fire.
The only thing that has anything to do with the Vulcan is that he got the Vulcan Ding, but the Vulcan Ding was included in the square of his mind and did not appear in the outside world.
Li Xin'an always has an inexplicable trust in the wide square in his mind, which should be able to shield the fire god's detection, so he is not worried that the fire god will be sensed by the fire god.
So Li Xin'an felt that this saint was lying.
However, the people of the Donggong tribe believed in what the Holy Maiden said very much, and they all began to talk about it, and they seemed to be very happy that the fire god had passed on the holy parable.
The holy woman came to Li Xin'an and said to everyone: "Please go out first, I need to talk to this hero alone." ”
"Good"
The dignified man did not have the slightest doubt, and immediately agreed, and then said to Li Xin'an:
"Then we'll leave first, and we'll send someone to invite you into the city later, you didn't wake up yesterday, and your three summoned beasts are too large to enter the city. ”
Some people from the Donggong tribe had seen Li Xin'an and the Ice Demon Wizard fight before, so they could tell that he was a summoner.
Li Xin'an responded with a smile: "Haha, okay, I also want to go to the East Palace tribe to have a look." ”
The majestic man bowed his head again, stood up, and led the group out of the igloo.
When everyone left, the holy woman looked condescendingly at Li Xin'an, who was sitting.
Li Xin'an also looked back at the saint girl calmly, he was a little resistant to this kind of person who served the gods and passed on the holy parables, so he did not take the initiative to express kindness, but wanted to see what this so-called saint wanted to do.
The saint didn't speak, she kept staring at Li Xin'an, and remained silent.
Li Xin'an was worried that he would lose too many words, so he also didn't speak, just silently observing the saint.
This saint still looks very pleasing to the eye, although half of her face is covered by a veil, you can still see a beautiful chin, delicate lips, and beautiful eyes.
Her eyes were very large, and the pupils were burgundy, like two whirlpools, which made it difficult for Li Xin'an to take her eyes off, and she only felt that those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
At this moment, two flames appeared in the eyes of the holy woman.
Li Xin'an only felt a heat gushing out of his body, and the energy in his body was unconsciously running at a high speed, and his body suddenly steamed with a crimson fire, which was mixed with some blue flames.
The temperature in the igloo instantly increased a lot, and the ** on the top began to melt and turn into water droplets underground.
"What's going on? How is my energy out of my control. Devil-faced spider!"
The snow-white ghost-faced demon spider suddenly appeared behind Li Xin'an, and exhaled a cold breath to Li Xin'an, and the flames on his body slowly extinguished.
Li Xin'an looked at the woman in red vigilantly, took out the red fire knife and held it in his hand, and shouted angrily: "What does the holy woman mean by this?"
The saint smiled and said, "Please don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions, this is just a small temptation." ”
"Temptation?"
The saint explained, "Yes, I just wanted to confirm if you are really the one prophesied by the god of fire. ”
Li Xinxin's bottom sank, he had seen the duel between the human emperor and the six gods in a dream, and those gods were all enemies of the human race.
And he also took the Vulcan Ding, which seemed to be the god of fire, so he didn't think it was a good thing to be noticed by the god of fire.
But Li Xin'an thought about it, and the six gods were all seriously injured in the battle with the Human Emperor and fell into a deep sleep.
In the story told by the leader of the Donggong tribe just now, only the Demon Venerable was mentioned, and the other gods were not mentioned, indicating that the other gods were still asleep.
And the fact that the God of Fire, as an evil god hostile to the human race, suddenly gave help to the Donggong tribe was illogical and very strange.
The only possible reason is that the god of fire is actually still asleep, and the help given to the Donggong tribe is likely to be a response to prayers from a deep sleep.
The Fire God didn't actually know about the existence of the Donggong tribe, let alone make any prophecies.
Li Xin'an calmed down and responded: "I respect your faith, but please don't deceive me. As far as I know, your god of fire is supposed to be asleep, and how could he prophesy me?"
The saint frowned, and her face seemed to be a little flustered, but then she regained her composure, and said with a smile:
"Hehe, you're too worried, the Fire God has given us so much help from the East Palace Tribe, how can it be in a deep sleep?"
Li Xintai said with a profound appearance: "Hehe, in fact, I don't know anything about your Donggong tribe, and I know more about the Fire God and the Donggong tribe than even many of your tribe's own people.
Otherwise, do you think I'd run into that ice wizard on the road so coincidentally?"
The holy maiden paused for a moment, and after a moment of silence, she said, "What is your intention in coming to the East Palace Tribe?"
Li Xin'an responded: "I have no malicious intent, I really want to help you rescue Donggong Ya, and then I will go back to Zhongzhou."
I'm just a little curious about your tribe, and I don't think the Vulcan will be as good as he thinks. ”
The holy woman lifted the veil from her face, and saw a terrible burn on her plain face, spreading from her left cheek to the right cheek.
"You guessed it right. ”
The saint spoke softly.
"The god of fire is indeed extremely malicious towards humans, and even treats them as pests that must be eliminated. ”
Li Xin'an thought for a moment and said, "But you do have some power related to the God of Fire." ”
The saint said, "That's because we stole the power of the god of fire. ”
"Stealing?"
The first time Li Xin'an heard this statement, he was just inferring, but he didn't expect that the fire god believed in by the Donggong tribe really had a hidden secret.
"Well, the god of fire fell into a deep sleep after the great battle with the human emperor, and has not awakened, or all the gods who have been defeated by the human emperor have not awakened.
Because they were robbed of their natal artifact, most of their divine power was lost, and the divine personality was seriously injured, and the godhead was on the verge of collapse, and he could only rely on his deep sleep to forcibly slow down the dissipation of his divine power.
Over the years, many people began to study how to steal the power of the gods, which set off a wave of many people who eventually failed, but there were also those who succeeded in stealing the power of the gods.
And the ancestors of our Donggong tribe got a way to steal the power of the fire god by chance, and that is to believe in the fire god.
The race of the fire god was originally the ancient fire spirit, so he would give some gifts to the people he prayed to, even if he was asleep, he would unconsciously give gifts.
And the ancient fire elf race is now one of the more powerful races, with a large number of clansmen, plus later intermarriage with other races on the continent, the bloodline has long been mixed, and the sleeping fire god is also difficult to distinguish.
Therefore, we can pray to the god of fire through the ancient language of fire elves, and we can receive the gift of the god of fire, and gain his power and help. ”
Li Xin'an sighed: "It can still be like this, the wisdom of human beings is really infinite."
But since you know it's stealing, why do I think the rest of your Donggong tribe believe in the god of fire from the bottom of their hearts?"
The saint replied, "It is because they really believe in the god of fire, and they reach out from their hearts to feel that the god of fire is helping them, and is the dependence that will bring them away from all suffering." ”
Li Xin'an thought for a while and replied: "But in fact, this is not the case, the fire god is only because he is asleep and it is difficult to distinguish the identity of the person who prays, so he will give help to the human who wants to pray by himself, if it wakes up completely, it is estimated that it will directly burn the human who prayed to ashes." ”
The saint nodded and said, "That's right. ”
Li Xin'an said: "You know the truth, why don't you tell them about it?"
The Holy Maiden replied, "Because this truth is a secret that only the Holy Maidens of the Eastern Palace Tribe know.
Once when we were still living with other humans in Zhongzhou, every member of the Donggong tribe knew that they were stealing the power of the Fire God, and they had no faith in it in their hearts, but only stole his power.
This power can make ordinary people transcendent, it can make us have a lot of wealth out of thin air, but there will be some side effects.
That is, every time a wish is granted, or after using the supernatural abilities bestowed by the god of fire, you have to do what you hate the most.
Therefore, the clansmen of the Donggong tribe will always do some strange behavior, which makes the fact that we have stolen the power of the fire god known to others.
They felt that we believed in evil gods and drove us out of Zhongzhou, and we had to come to this harsh ice field to survive.
There are no seasons in this ice field, there is no warmth, only endless ice and snow and brutal base creatures, and many tribesmen can't stand this harsh environment and choose to commit suicide.
Still others are looking for solace in their hearts, and the powerful Vulcan God who will help those who pray is the best choice.
So many people lost their hearts and began to truly believe in the god of fire.
Later, it was discovered that these people who truly believed in the god of fire rarely committed suicide, so the elders and leaders of the Donggong tribe decided to promote the clansmen's belief in the god of fire thousands of years ago.
In order not to make the tribe lose its true heart forever, the net is short of the real history, so that it will not be lost forever in this false faith.
He chose the most intelligent and resilient woman in the tribe as the holy woman, guarding this secret from generation to generation, and guarding the sacred fire that the fire god once bestowed.
The sacred fire was given by the god of fire during a prayer of the gods, and the whispers of the god of fire could be heard, and the presence of the sacred fire meant that the tribe was protected by the god of fire and was also under the control of the god of fire.
Later, the Donggong tribe developed from generation to generation, and even the leaders of each term began to truly believe in the god of fire, and the only people who knew this secret were the saints of each term.
It is impossible to tell whether this practice is right or wrong now, but this practice has indeed allowed our Donggong tribe to survive and thrive for thousands of years. ”
Li Xin'an asked, "So what you said about the fire god predicted me is true?"
The saint replied, "Yes and no." A month earlier, the flame had fluctuated violently, and the powerful whispers of the god of fire had come from it, and I was even worried that he would wake up, but eventually he fell into a deep sleep and the flame returned to peace.
That's when my face was burned. ”
The saint said with palpitations.
Li Xin'an hurriedly asked, "Does his babbling have anything to do with me?"
The Holy Maiden nodded and said, "In his whispers, the most mentioned are the North, the Frost City, the Humans, the scourge, the turmoil, the death, and the destruction. ”
"A month ago? That was the time when I got the Vulcan Ding, was it because I took the Vulcan Ding and caused the Vulcan to have a sense? Fortunately, the Vulcan Ding was included in the wide square in my mind, and it would not be sensed by the Vulcan again. ”
Li Xin'an thought to himself, but still pretended to be strange and asked the holy woman: "How can you judge that it has something to do with me?"
The saint replied, "I heard a man say today that a young man from the tribe from Frost City had awakened the ability to summon, and I thought you had something to do with the whispers of the god of fire, so I came to see you.
And in the process of guarding my life, I also got some special abilities, which can sense things related to the god of fire, and I found that you are not only a summoner, but also have a powerful fire ability, which must have something to do with the god of fire. ”
Li Xin'an became a little alert and asked, "Then do you have something to do with me? Do you want to catch me and sacrifice to the Fire God?"
The saint laughed: "Haha, the god of fire is asleep and no longer accepts sacrifices, I am here to ask you for a favor." ”
Li Xin'an asked, "What's busy?"
The saint took out a small transparent ball, and in the middle of the ball was inlaid with a beautiful flame, like a firework, but it seemed to be an eternal firework, which would never be extinguished.
"Please take this to the sand and break this ball.
Sealed in this small ball is the sacred fire bestowed by the god of fire, and only by breaking it in the sands of the god of fire's sleeping place can the sacred flame be returned to the god of fire and free from his control over our tribe in the East Palace. ”
Li Xin'an was puzzled: "Why do you want to do this, isn't the Fire God giving you help?"
The holy woman replied, "It used to be true, but recently the fire god's whispering has become more and more frequent, and the divine power given has become more and more powerful, and I suspect that he is about to awaken, and if he does, it will inevitably destroy the Donggong tribe."
Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of his control of the Donggong tribe as soon as possible before he wakes up and disappear from his field of vision, only in this way can he usher in a glimmer of life for the Donggong tribe. ”
Li Xin'an said in shock: "What?"
The saint nodded: "I was equally shocked, but it was true. ”
Li Xin'an took the ball and looked at it, and felt a wave of fear in his heart when he started it, as if he was facing a powerful existence, which made him feel fearful.
He exchanged the ball with the saint and said, "Why should I believe what you say, and why should I help you?"
