Chapter 675: Mass Graves
Summer City was still hot in the evening.
Fortunately, there is a cool breeze blowing, which can calm people's hearts.
In the dark night, sitting in the cold and deserted pavilion around, there are dim street lamps nearby, which can only reflect a short distance, and the shadows of the trees are shaking in the shadows of the lights.
And under the swaying shadows of the trees, there is a faint figure of the old man who is sitting quietly.
If you are a timid person, I am afraid that you will be suspicious and scare yourself.
This is an open small park, old, located in the Tongcheng District of Xiacheng, near some old communities, because it is going to be demolished, there are not many people, very deserted.
In fact, there was a little girl sitting quietly under the street lamp not far away, only twelve or thirteen years old.
She was playing games there with a mobile phone on a chair under the street lamp, and there was no sound, and against the special environment, it made people feel panicked.
It's just that relatively speaking, such a strange scene will not have much fluctuating impact on Xu Ran's heart.
Rather, in front of a public facility in the small square of the small park, there were several stone benches, on which an old man sat quietly, and there was a big tree behind it, and after blocking the dim light, a shadow was formed there, and the old man was hiding in the shadows.
Especially when she was quiet, it was as if she had become one with the shadow, as if it didn't exist.
In fact, this old woman is walking on the street during the day, and due to her temperament, she really doesn't have much sense of existence, she won't attract anyone's attention, and she looks extremely ordinary.
But everything is relative, and the more this is the case, the more extraordinary it becomes.
Of course, this old man is the same Granny Emerald who disappeared after parting with Mage Island last time, saying that she wanted to pursue her ideals.
What Xu Ran wondered in his heart was why Granny Cui would come to Xia City, and why she would choose such a place to meet, and she was so mysterious.
Not only that, Xu Ran felt even more strange that his eyes were aimed at a black car parked on the street outside the small park, and he could vaguely see that after the car glass was lowered, he sat quietly in the car as if an old monk had settled down, wearing Taoist robes and buns, and the middle-aged and elderly people who were about fifty years old were pure Taoist priests.
In fact, the strange call Xu Ran received on the way back from Hengxia's family area was the Taoist priest who called with his mobile phone.
At that time, Xu Ran only heard the unfamiliar voice and only said one sentence: "Granny Cui wants to see you!"
Then, the other party hung up the phone and directly sent him a picture of this small park, and Xu Ran also took a lot of effort to find here.
When he found it, the black sedan was parked there, and Granny Cui sat quietly in the shadows of the tree, and the little girl was playing with her phone under the street lamp.
The picture is really weird.
After coming, after Xu Ran went to the shadow of Granny Cui's meditation, he sat on the other side of the stool, which was where the light could shine.
Granny Cui was very quiet and didn't say a word, and Xu Ran didn't speak either.
In fact, the exchange has already begun.
Silence is better than sound here, because Xu Ran and Granny Cui both know how to perceive the mind.
"Son, do you know what this place was eight hundred years ago?"
"I don't know, is there any unknown historical allusion to this small park?"
"Eight hundred years ago, this was a mass grave!"
When Leng Buding heard this, Xu Ran couldn't help but feel excited, and felt as if a cold wind was blowing.
Especially now at night, the deserted and desolate environment here, an old woman tells you that this place was a mass grave 800 years ago, what is it like, in short, it is very infiltrating.
However, Xu Ran felt that Granny Cui had come all the way to Xia City, and she shouldn't have just told him this in the middle of the night to scare him.
Perhaps, she said that this was a mass grave 800 years ago, which should have led to the beginning of the topic.
"Actually, eight hundred years ago, in addition to being a mass grave, this place was also a place for executing sinners, so there was also a profession that haunted here at night to take care of the aftermath, as a night watchman.
After they were born in this kind of place, they left here to travel the world, they represent darkness, they represent death, and the places they haunt most are mass burial places all over the world, but do you know what they are traveling to mass burial places all over the world?"
This Xu Ran naturally doesn't know, and this is secret information, I'm afraid that very few people know about it since ancient times.
But when Granny Cui talks about this, she gives people a sense of reality.
Therefore, Xu Ran did not respond, but Granny Cui continued: "Those night watchmen all originated from this place, and they gained an ability, that is, they can extract the souls of the dead that contain resentment, mainly used to study the secrets of immortality, but they did not succeed, and after being exposed during an experiment, they were oppressed and suppressed by the ruler, and then disappeared mysteriously.
But in reality, they did not disappear, but hid and continued to study.
It wasn't until the Shaba tribe was completely wiped out, and after they were discovered, they were surrounded and suppressed by the three major tribes, and they really disappeared with them, but they left two important things behind!"
Xu Ran asked curiously, "You mean that the night watchman is from the Shaba tribe?"
"No, they are from the Yaoxing tribe, but they only found another way to engage in this research after obtaining the lost soul research manuscript of the holy woman of the Shaba tribe, but their actions violated the faith of the Yaoxing tribe, and they also became the banishes of the Yaoxing tribe!"
Xu Ran said: "Then what are the two things left by the Vault Dweller?"
"One is the Soul Cleansing Pot, and the other is the Soul Suppression Bead!"
After hearing the Soul Cleansing Pot, Xu Ran didn't have any fluctuations in his heart, and said: "I found the Soul Cleansing Pot in the main priest temple of the Shaba tribe, but later the Soul Cleansing Pot disappeared in Fuerna, but at least I have seen the magical effect of the Soul Cleansing Pot with my own eyes, so what about the Zhenxin Bead?"
Granny Cui said: "The Zhenxin Bead was originally one of the sacred weapons of the Fenghui Tribe, which was stolen by the Vault Dweller, and the Soul Cleansing Pot was originally one of the holy weapons of the Yaoxing Tribe, which was also stolen by the Vault Dweller.
Later, after the Vault Dweller was exposed and eliminated by hunting, Zhenxin Zhu returned to the hands of the Fenghui tribe, but the Soul Cleansing Pot was nowhere to be found.
Xu Ran said: "But what do those two things have to do with this mass grave where the Vault Dweller began to engage in soul research?"
"Since I learned that the Soul Cleansing Pot appeared in the main sacrificial temple of the Shaba tribe, I have a guess that the Zhenxin Bead, one of the holy artifacts currently enshrined by the descendants of the Fenghui tribe, is very likely to be fake."
Hearing this, Xu Ran was taken aback: "Do you think that the real Zhenxin Pearl, maybe it is under this mass grave eight hundred years ago?"
Granny Cui nodded: "That's right!"
