Volume 1: The Beginning Chapter 44 The Origin of the Box
In ancient times, there was such a group of people, oh, it should not be said that it was gods, because they were omnipotent, long-lived, and mastered all kinds of heavenly rules, even the people of that time did not know where they came from, but it was rumored that they were people who barely survived the ancient catastrophe.
No matter what the legend is, it was the arrival of this group of gods that created the original Duling Continent at that time, so later generations would rather call them the creation gods.
Not all of these gods are human, they are of all races, and humans are only a small part of them.
Because they fled to the country, these gods proclaimed themselves supernatural powers, and as ordinary people, they performed their own duties, gradually took root on this continent, and lived.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and some of them forgot the original agreement because they were dissatisfied with their positions, and secretly tempted and persuaded a group of gods, and unsealed the supernatural powers, and launched a revolution.
It's just tragic that the revolution has just been launched, but because of the selfishness of people's hearts, the battle has become more and more fierce, and finally, Tiandao sensed the situation here and chased and killed.
The strength was already weak, coupled with the unevenness of the people's hearts and the baptism of war, this time no god could escape the harvest of the Heavenly Dao, and the stolen Heavenly Dao rules were all taken back by the Heavenly Dao.
The battle didn't fall apart, everything happened quietly, on a beautiful meteor night. That night, countless gods fell from the sky and decomposed, like passing meteors.
It wasn't until later that the ancestors of the Duling Continent knew the general situation from the mouth of the dying creator, but the specific creator didn't say, so no one knew.
And after the Heavenly Dao did all this, he stopped for some reason, and it seemed that he had no interest in these weak creatures created by those gods, but he just blocked the laws of the Heavenly Dao and left.
According to legend, those gods were dissatisfied with the domineering nature of the Heavenly Dao and knew that they would die, so they each created their own artifacts and left them in the world, hoping that future generations could get their inheritance and use them to rebel against the Heavenly Dao.
And the ten strongest dying Creation Elemental Gods used their last life essence to condense fourteen artifacts, and then they shattered into ten major elements, all over the Duling Continent.
At this point, the descendants of the gods of the Ling Continent followed the wishes of the ancestors of the Creation God and began the path of cultivation against the sky, but no one found the legendary artifact.
As time passed, no one ever found any trace of God, and slowly, people forgot about it as a joke and a story.
Listening to the whole story, Mu Cheng's mood was a little complicated, and he was also a little sad, he was once a god, although he was just a small god like Bi Ma Wen, but he also knew that God was just a powerful human being.
It is true that this is a very bloody story, and there are many strange places in the story that are vague and full of loopholes, but Mu Cheng can finally deduce the origin of the things in this black box.
This is estimated to be the inheritance artifact left behind by the ten strongest creation elemental gods, the god of water.
It's just that at this point, Mu Cheng's biggest puzzle is still unsolved, why is this box from the super primeval period? Shouldn't it be something from the ancient period? Could it be that the water god would be so boring to stuff the weapon into a super primeval box? Or maybe there was a mistake in Koike Encyclopedia?
Shaking his head, Mu Cheng put aside these doubts, slowly drank tea, and began to chat with the old man about various secrets.
From the chat, Mu Cheng knew that the old man was not a native of Changqing City, he traveled everywhere when he was young, and only found the other half in Changqing City, and then settled in Changqing City.
"Old man Jiang, get out of here! Lao Tzu wants to ask you for an explanation!"
Just as Mu Cheng and Old Man Jiang were chatting happily, a voice with anger came from outside the courtyard gate.
When Old Man Jiang heard the voice, his face changed, and then he returned to normal, and said to Mu Cheng with a smile.
"The little young master drank tea first, it seems that someone is calling me this old man, I'll go out and have a look, Jiang girl, you entertain the little young master, don't slack off. ”
"But... Grandfather... ”
Jiang Yatou wanted to speak and stopped, obviously Jiang Yatou also heard the voice outside the door, and knew that the owner of the voice was not good and was worried about the old man.
"It's okay, you entertain the little master, grandpa will go back when he goes. ”
Old Man Jiang touched Jiang Yatou's head dotingly, patted it gently, turned around and walked outside the house.
"Wait, old man, I'll go with you. ”
Mu Cheng put down the cup and was about to stand up.
"No, no, it's just a little thing, don't bother the little master. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I happen to be tired from sitting and want to move around. ”
"Well, well. ”
When Old Man Jiang saw that Mu Cheng had talked about this, he was not easy to refuse, but he made up his mind in his heart that if there was danger, even if he fought for his life, he would protect the little young master.
The four people walked out of the house, but they didn't see the person who made the sound, and it was obvious that the person who made the voice should be outside the courtyard.
Seeing this, Old Man Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, so at least he had an excuse.
"The little master will be active in the courtyard, and when the old man finishes dealing with the things outside, he will come to chat with the little master. ”
"Yes, good. ”
Seeing this, Mu Cheng was not good at refuting Old Man Jiang's kindness, and secondly, his excuse was just to move around, and it would be too obvious if he changed the excuse again, although everyone knew it.
The most important thing is the distance now, in case the old man Jiang is in danger, Mu Cheng has already had time to save him, and there is no danger.
Old Man Jiang walked to the gate of the courtyard and removed the wooden board that was used as the courtyard gate, there were already a few people waiting for Old Man Jiang outside, Old Man Jiang walked out, turned around and smiled at Mu Cheng and nodded, and moved the wooden board back.
Outside the yard.
"What the hell, swallowing slowly, dare to let Lao Tzu wait for you?
A pale-faced man outside, when he saw Old Man Jiang come out, he slammed something similar to a cigarette in his hand on the ground, stepped on his feet in a venting manner, and said angrily, if Mu Cheng was sure that he would be able to recognize this person at a glance was Shen Jincheng who had just been beaten by him.
Shen Jincheng is very unhappy today, he has already calculated, today the boss of the Golden Needle Workshop is not at home, he can easily snatch the little girl back, and then the boss of the Golden Needle Workshop is back, and it will be okay to lose some money, but he didn't expect that a Leng Qingtou ruined his good deeds.
Shen Jincheng went for a while, and told Boss Shi about the whole process, and when Boss Shi heard it, someone actually challenged his authority and rushed to the Golden Needle Workshop with Shen Jincheng, but Mu Cheng happened to leave at that time.
After inquiring about the threats of passers-by, Shen Jincheng finally knew that Mu Cheng was coming here, and after telling Boss Shi, he rushed to the old man's house under the pretext of opening the road.
Of course Shen Jincheng wouldn't be so kind, but he was selfish, and when he saw that the road of forced abduction would not work, he could only change the way, that is, to directly put pressure on Old Man Jiang, so Shen Jincheng treated it at will, and rushed here with his subordinates first.
"I'm sorry, Brother Shen, there is a guest at home, and I am entertaining him, so I came out late, please Brother Shen don't be angry. ”
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, what I want to say is, Old Man Jiang, when do you want to delay the realization of the agreement?"
Shen Jincheng was in a hurry, so he didn't plan to pursue such a trivial matter now, and directly said his intention.
"Brother Shen, you are not authentic, I paid back the money on time, although I paid it back on time, but didn't I double the compensation for you? You agreed at the time, if you are not satisfied, I can make up for it again, old man." ”
"Without further ado, I'll ask you, is the agreement fulfilled or not?"
Saying that, Shen Jincheng beckoned to the little brother behind him, looking like he wanted to use force.
"No, although I don't have any ability, and I'm not a good person, but if you want me to sell my granddaughter in exchange for Ansheng, it's better for you to kill me!"
Old man Jiang saw Shen Jincheng's movements, and knew that Shen Jincheng was not here for money today, but for the real thing, so he hurriedly retreated to the wall, leaning against the wall, preparing to make a final resistance.
"Look, this thin old man still wants to resist? Hahaha, I'm laughing to death. ”
When the little gangsters saw that the old man wanted to resist, they suddenly looked at me, I looked at you, and laughed haha.
"Don't laugh, any of you go up, hurry up and arrest this old man, the boss will come in a while, and you won't even be able to get the soup." ”
Shen Jincheng looked at the little brothers who were smiling crookedly and frowned.
The guest that the old man said before must be the stinky boy who beat him, but now the stinky boy just hasn't come out, as long as he catches the old man, will he still be afraid of the dead girl running away? And that stinky boy, hmph, when the boss comes, after beating this kid, he will directly peel him and cramp!
The younger brothers heard that the boss was angry, and they all quieted down a little, but their faces were still full of ridicule, and several people looked at each other, and one of them, a slightly stronger man, was chosen.
"Hey, why me, if someone says I'm bullying the old man, how can I mess up?"
Although the man muttered like this, there was no worry on his face, but he was gearing up, looking eager to try.
"Old man, listen well, my name is Tan Shan, the person who will catch you in a while, I advise you not to resist, otherwise you will start to move and accidentally remove your old arms and legs, it will be bad, the old man should have the consciousness of the old man. ”
After introducing the little brother named Tan Shan, he threatened the old man Jiang again, and then walked over slowly, as if he had just finished dinner and walked the road.
Old Man Jiang ignored Tan Shan's threat and still maintained his fighting movements.
"Young man, I advise you to be careful when you speak, otherwise I will be beaten to the ground by the old man, and my face will not look good at that time. ”
"Hahaha... Tan Shan, you see, the old man doesn't want your kindness, and he said that he would beat you up, hahaha... ”
Although Old Man Jiang was old, his voice was still sonorous and powerful, and the other younger brothers behind him naturally heard Old Man Jiang's words, and immediately burst into laughter.
Tan Shan, who was originally a good swimmer, was furious when he heard the old man sarcastically mock himself like this and make himself so faceless.
"Old man, you are looking for death!"
Tan Shan felt that he was bored with himself, his face was dull, and he rushed towards Old Man Jiang with a punch, leaving no strength behind.
