Chapter Ninety-Six: Nine Traces of the Kuafu Clan
With Ai Qing's last leap, he successfully broke through the clouds and entered the main peak of Kuafu Mountain, and the scene in front of him was beyond his imagination, the peak was not surrounded by clouds and mist, but like a paradise.
You can smell the fragrance of plants and trees, and occasionally an unnamed bird or two passes in front of you, and the cool and fresh air of the forest sinks into the skin that has been suffocating all night.
A raised mound comes into view, and in front of it stands a stone monument, which is engraved with several large characters in vermilion, "Kuafu Mausoleum". The trees on the mausoleum are forested, lush and lush, verdant, in the solemn, solemn and a little mysterious, the green of the forest is thick, it seems to flow out.
Ai Qing was able to "fly" all the way up from below, completely relying on a breath of fairy qi, and now that he has reached the target location, this breath of fairy qi has also relaxed, he is weak, coupled with the extremely unstable air pressure on the top of this mountain, he fell headlong in the grass,
"Boom, boom, boom~"
A loud noise came from afar, accompanied by a tremor of the ground, as if some large beast was stomping towards him.
When Ai Qing woke up again, it was already late at night, he was lying on the straw mat, facing the sky, the deep night sky revealed a light that seemed to be there, like a calm deep sea without any waves, the silver-white moonlight was attached to the company of the stars, the cold did not have a trace of warmth, the floating wind rushed into the arms of the night sky with the sadness of the moonlight, and sank in this silence.
"Crackle, crackle~" In the open space not far from him, a bonfire more than one person high was burning, and the heat wave generated spread to Ai Qing's body with the light wind, which was warm, and the pain on his body was not so strong.
"Are you awake?" a loud voice sounded beside Ai Qing.
Ai Qing was shocked, he turned over and looked behind him, it was pitch black, as if there was a wall blocking him.
"Who are you, where are you?" he held one hand to the long sword at his waist, although he didn't know how long he had been unconscious, he clearly remembered that he had climbed to the top of the main peak, which was not from everyone, so that he was now extremely sensitive to the unknown.
"I'm right in front of you. ”
The "wall" in front of Ai Qing actually moved, as if it was rising, and under the light of the bonfire, Ai Qing saw that the "wall" was bronze, and it also had legs, and feet? Is this a jing?
He blinked, Hawkeye activated instantly, looked up at the top of the "wall", and a huge body stood in front of him, its leg length alone was more than two meters high, plus the length of its upper body, Hawkeye measured the data of five meters high.
"This giant?" Ai Qing couldn't believe and rubbed his eyes, but the result was the same, just a giant standing in front of him.
The giant spoke again: "Weak human, you have been in a coma for three days, where are you from?"
Three days? Ai Qing's first thought was why he didn't wake up when he and Hou Yan swapped places in a coma during the three days he was in a coma, but the biggest problem he was facing now was not how long he was in a coma, but where he was and what the hell this giant was.
Because the giant was too tall, Ai Qing had no way to see his face.
"Where did I come from? I climbed up from the bottom of Mount Kuafu. Ai Qing said.
The giant walked out of the shadows and slowly crouched down, even then he was still more than a meter taller than Ai Qing.
Ai Qing can clearly see the appearance of the giant this time, he is only wearing a grass skirt around his body, his naked upper body is unusually strong, angular, and the biggest feature is that it is huge, but the proportions of his body are the same as ordinary people, except for the big one, there is no sense of disobedience.
Seeing that the gap between himself and Ai Qing was still very large, the giant simply sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the small Ai Qing in front of him, with a pair of big eyes blinking with the wind.
"My name is Jiuji, I am a member of the Kuafu clan, and I am responsible for guarding the cemetery of my ancestors, please report your identity. The air flow when Jiuji spoke blew on Ai Qing's body, blowing his bangs to the back of his head.
Ai Qing squinted her eyes and said politely, "Ai Qing." ”
He never dreamed that there really was a Kuafu clan in this world, these were folk myths, and when they really appeared in front of him now, it made him more calm.
The magic of the universe is full of wonders, he can travel into Hou Yan's body, what else can't exist in this world?
"If you are from your father's clan, what about the rest of your clan?" Ai Qing asked.
"The Kuafu clan all live in the land of Kyushu, and I was only sent to guard here. ”
Jiuji moved his body to the side of the bonfire, Ai Qing watched the flames more than two meters high and could only be level with Jiuji sitting on the ground, and suddenly felt very small.
He also walked to the campfire, so as not to appear weaker, so he stood there and said to Jiuji, "It was the senior who saved me?"
"It's not about saving, it's just that I've been here for a long time and I'm bored, you can chat with me when you wake up." ”
"......" Ai Qing didn't expect to be rescued so casually.
As a member of the Kua Father Clan, Jiuji inherited the hospitality of the Kua Father Clan, not only did he not have any hostility towards Ai Qing, but he even took good care of him.
In the chat between the two, Ai Qing learned that the main peak of Kuafu Mountain, where he is now, is the mausoleum of the leader of Kuafu in the mythical story Kuafu, not that the leader of Kuafu is buried in the main peak, but because the whole mountain is Kuafu, but the tombstone is erected at the highest point.
Jiuji does belong to the Kuafu clan, but he has not been guarding here from beginning to end, and his height is not only five meters, in the original ear tribe, the average height of the people of the Kuafu clan is tens of meters tall, but I don't know why the size of the body has been depressed when I came here.
"Senior, why were you suddenly sent here?" Ai Qing asked.
"It was a long time ago, because our patriarch learned that a miracle had been performed at the tombstone of our ancestors, the specific cause is unknown, and the town guard was only a superficial meaning, but in fact he was here to supervise and pay attention to the vision here. ”
"Miracles, are you talking about the golden light that shines from the sun?"
Jiuji looked stunned, because his face was also huge, every move of his facial features was clearly visible, and his appearance was a little funny.
"You know, according to my patriarch, it's a sacred artifact handed down from the ancestors, and I don't know what activated it. ”
Ai Qing stared at the nine traces, it seemed that the stupid big man in front of him knew far more than that, he was still hiding something, just now he said that he was sent without knowing it, and now he knows that it is a divine object.
A smile appeared on the corner of Ai Qing's mouth, every time he showed such a mysterious smile, it meant that he was going to play hard.
"Since the predecessors said that it was a divine object, do you know what the divine object looks like and what its name is?"
"I don't know, I don't know. Jiuji hurriedly replied, there seemed to be some panic in his eyes, which confirmed Ai Qing's speculation even more.
Ai Qing jumped onto the trunk of a tree next to him with the help of the dispenser, so that he could barely reach the same height as the Nine Traces, and another reason was that what he was going to say next was likely to cause the giant in front of him to be dissatisfied.
"Senior, if you don't know, how about I tell you?"
"You, what's the joke?"
"Dove Xi Pupil Wheel. ”
Ai Qing's understatement was like a sharp knife on Jiuji's neck, and he was so shocked that he stood up with his body more than five meters tall and looked down at Ai Qing on the branch.
"Who the hell are you, and what are you here for?" asked Jiuji, staring into tennis ball-sized eyes.
"Since the seniors know what I'm going to say, then I'll not say dark words, and the juniors are here for it this time......"
Before Ai Qing finished speaking, a big hand of the Nine Traces roared towards Ai Qing and grabbed it, and roared angrily: "Shut up! That's my sacred artifact of the Father's Clan, how can I allow you to blaspheme?"
The huge bronze palm was about to slap Ai Qing's body, and suddenly Ai Qing's body flew backwards onto another tree trunk, and he had already shot another hook behind him when he was on the tree, just to prevent the nine traces from going berserk.
"Senior, please calm down, if I take the other half of the Jiuxi Pupil Chakra, won't you be able to return to your homeland?"
"The other half, you mean you have half of them?" Nine Traces stopped what he was doing and looked at Ai Qing in surprise.
Ai Qing also had nothing to hide, took out the half taken from the Taoist temple from his arms, held it in his hand, and the launcher in the other hand had already prepared his own escape route.
"Quick, put it away!" Nine Traces shouted in a panic, as if something terrible was about to happen.
Ai Qing was puzzled, and did not put away the Jiuxi Pupil Wheel according to the meaning of the Nine Traces, but held it in the palm of her hand and observed it repeatedly, but there was no change, and she didn't know what the Nine Traces were worried about.
"It's over, it's over, it's over!"
It was obviously late at night, but a red light appeared at the junction of heaven and earth in the far east, and the sun showed a corner.
One of the important tasks of the Nine Traces here is to prevent the other half of the Dove Xi Pupil Chakra from appearing on this peak, once it is exposed to the air and responds to the other half of the mountain, it will summon the sun that has already set in advance, and when the sun rises to the commanding height, the two beams of light shot are enough to destroy the entire main peak.
Ai Qing is like a dream, is he trapped in a mythical world? How can the things he encounter are so strange and nonsense, but the sun in the distance is indeed rising, and the speed of rise is several times that of usual.
"Senior, what should we do now?"
"The only solution is to put the two pieces together, but I don't know where the other half is. Nine traces said.
"You don't know, you don't know if you live here?" Ai Qing almost scolded the street, he thought that Jiuji knew but didn't tell him
"If you really want to find it, just look under the tombstone, every time the beam shines there, I'll go first, see you later." ”
Ai Qing's eyes stared at the black tombstone not far away, and as soon as she turned around, she saw the tall body of the Nine Traces jumping directly from the periphery of the peak and running away.
"My day, is it so bad?"
The sun in the sky had risen to the height of three or four o'clock in the morning, and time waited for no one, Ai Qing quickly ran to the side of the tombstone, and Hawkeye scanned the entire tombstone, and there was nothing in the shape of a disc at all.
"Huh?
The sun was rising faster and faster, and as if it sensed that Ai Qing was going to stop it, it flew towards the sky at twelve o'clock.
Ai Qing used all his strength to move the tombstone away, revealing a cave below, time did not allow him to hesitate for any time, and jumped into it without saying a word.
Fortunately, the cave is relatively wide, and he can descend unimpeded.
But this length was a bit excessive, Ai Qing fell downward, and saw the sun shining in from the hole above his head, but he didn't even see the shadow of the other piece.
"It's cold, it's going to be cold!"
