Chapter 9: Lovers
The ancient and sacred murals outline the secret of the Pixiu people.
"Look at the Pixiu on this mural. ”
Everyone followed the old man's eyes to a mural on the wall, which was a strange-looking two-horned pixiu. In Tianlu's account just now, everyone has learned that the Pixiu clan distinguishes between male and female by the number of horns, and the male Pixiu has one horn on the top of his head, and the female has two.
"This female Pixiu was born with a gorgeous coat color and a strange fragrance, and she was outstanding since she was a child, and the king of Pixiu was fascinated by this female Pixiu at a glance and chose her as her spouse. ”
On the mural, the color of the female Pixiu's fur is colorful, she just quietly bends down to drink water on the surface of the water, which can attract countless living beings to watch, and there are butterflies flying beside her. If you compare it to a human woman, I am afraid that it is also a level of overturning the country and the city, and even bringing disaster to the country and the people.
"I really envy the Pixiu King!"
Zhu Junjie's eyes were glowing with golden light, and he had secretly imagined himself as the king of Pixiu in his mind, and began to lust for his happy life.
"Hehe, little brother, don't be in a hurry to envy, the origin race of the Pixiu tribe will definitely give birth to offspring after its mating, and the price is that the male Pixiu must be devoured by the female Pixiu, as the nourishment of the next generation, only after swallowing the space of the mate, the female Pixiu can successfully give birth to the next generation. ”
"No wonder the Pixiu race will become extinct, not only by their greedy nature, but also because of their unique way of reproduction, it is simply a race that has been declining since birth......"
Yun Yuan sighed.
"There is no way, the Pixiu clan is extremely talented, and the price they pay for this huge talent is to bear the curse of fate. When the old man Tianlu said this, there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes, "But after so many years of breeding, the male wizards of the Pixiu clan have accidentally developed a kind of witchcraft, which can make the devoured person change from male to female, and the female who has fallen into this witchcraft will directly devour the mother to obtain the 'internal space' after giving birth to the cub , without sacrificing males, this witchcraft was invented only secretly by sorcerers, but after the King of Pixiu ascended the throne, a sorcerer offered him this witchcraft secret method. ”
On the mural, a cloak of Pixiu kneels under the throne of the Pixiu King, its body is covered with strange wood carvings, like a bewitching tree, its hands hold a scroll recording the secret method held high above its head, the Pixiu King sits on the throne and caresses the dragon's whiskers.
"How can he, for the sake of his own survival, sacrifice the people he loves?"
Xiao Meng's delicate body trembled slightly.
"No, look at the back. ”
Yan Fei reminded.
Everyone looked at a mural behind, the king of Pixiu was sitting on the throne, the huge dragon head frowned, as if he had suddenly become much older, the reason for these changes is not difficult to guess, it should be in a dilemma. On the one hand, he needs to continue his life to sustain the development of his race, and on the other side is his lover, a lover whom he would rather sacrifice himself than live up....... The painter is so skilled that everyone can even feel the burning and painful choice of the Pixiu King from his eyebrows.
Seeing this, the old man Tianlu was no longer verbose, and everyone looked towards the next mural, eager to know the final choice of the King of Pixiu.
The result was disappointing, and under pressure from the ministers led by the wizard, the King of Pixiu chose the former, and the Queen of Pixiu was infused with a secret method.
"You want the country, not the beauty. ”
The old man Tianlu sighed.
"That's the end of this mural?"
Yun Yuan was a little unsatisfied, such a story would inevitably end in a bit of a hurry here, what happened to the Pixiu King after the queen's death? What happened to the wizards and the ministers? Where are the descendants of the Pixiu King? The history of the Pixiu clan seems to have sunk forever in the long river of history at this moment.
"Look! the mural in the back has been erased!"
Snake Nai suddenly shouted, and everyone stepped forward to take a closer look, and sure enough, the wall behind it was not without murals, but was artificially erased, obviously someone didn't want future generations to know the final fate of the Pixiu clan. The walls behind it look like a plain without grass, and the history of the Pixiu clan is buried deep under the soil of the plain.
"Alas, when the old decay came, the mural had already become like this, you see the traces of erasing, it should have been erased soon after the tomb was built, maybe the king of Pixiu himself didn't want others to know his end......"
Tianlu looked at everyone looking at him suspiciously, and smiled helplessly.
"Looking at the traces should be a long time ago, and it really won't be like this in a few hundred years. ”
Yan Fei whispered in Yun Yuan's ear, Yun Yuan paused slightly, it was indeed according to Tianlu's age, it was impossible for him to destroy these murals so many years ago, although Tianlu did have some doubts, but Yun Yuan still chose to believe him for the time being.
"Ahem, that's all for the mural decay, a few little friends, are you interested in going down a few floors with the decay?"
It seems that he has said too much, and the consumption of the body is a little large, Tianlu's face is a little unsightly, and he coughed a few times, and the kind-hearted snake Nai immediately stepped forward to support him.
"Hehe, out of the way, what a kind child. ”
Tianlu smiled kindly at the snake, and for some reason, Yun Yuan felt that there was something else in that smile.
"Of course we have to look backwards, otherwise how can we get out! Anyway, we will stay here for the time being, and we will be idle if we are idle."
Yan Fei clasped his arms and shouted.
"It's really a few children who don't give up, or if you have a way to escape, you can look at the sun again in your lifetime, and die without regrets......
Tianlu smiled, was helped up by the snake nai, and led everyone to continue to march into the depths.
In the dark corridor, crisp footsteps echoed again......
