Chapter 44: Secrets

Huaxi introduced Qi Daoyuan into the upper seat, and then the two began to talk.

Qi Daoyuan didn't expect that the patriarch of the Li clan in front of him was so young, and she was in her early twenties, and it could be seen that she was not a talkative and outgoing woman, but she was really knowledgeable and treated people very sincerely, so she answered Qi Daoyuan's questions in great detail.

The two first chatted about the customs and customs of southern Xinjiang, and then Qi Daoyuan led the topic back to the Li people.

"We were fortunate enough to see some aristocratic murals, which is really a magnificent history. Qi Daoyuan said with sincere admiration.

Huaxi also showed a sense of remembrance and worship, saying: "The ancestors have indeed gone through a lot of hardships in order to establish the foundation of the five clans, and we often teach the clansmen to live with gratitude and humility, so as not to waste the many efforts made by the ancestors." ”

Qi Daoyuan nodded, although he didn't know how the other four clans were, but through Hong Si and Huaxi, it could be seen that the Li clan was indeed simple, and compared with the real society of flies and dogs, this place was simply a paradise on earth.

He continued: "I see that there is a mural in this hall that is incomplete, I wonder if it is not finished, or is it some other reason?"

Huaxi listened, showing a look of wanting to say something, she was not a person with a deep mind, and after thinking for a while, she said the truth: "Actually, it's not that the painting was not finished, but it was destroyed later because of the battle." ”

Qi Daoyuan Mianlou asked suspiciously: "It was destroyed, how could the stone wall be so complete, and only the painting was destroyed?"

Huaxi kept rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands, showing her inner struggle and hesitation, and after a while, she bit her lip and said: "The stone wall is naturally what we added later, but the original content of the mural, we ...... Don't dare to complete it. ”

Qi Daoyuan was even more puzzled in his heart, frowning and asking, "I don't know what is depicted on this mural, you don't even dare to complete it?"

Hua Xi showed an extremely tangled look on his face, and said: "Don't ask, this matter is extremely dangerous, not only related to my Li clan, but even the entire southern Xinjiang is involved, although I know that you are not an ordinary person, but I still don't know it." ”

As soon as Huaxi said this, Qi Daoyuan became more and more curious.

When he came, he carefully perceived the inside and outside of the Li clan, and did not find any powerful creatures. Moreover, Huaxi is the patriarch, and there must be a mysterious power that has been passed down from generation to generation, coupled with the holy beasts described on the murals, the real strength of the Li clan should not be low, so Qi Daoyuan is very curious about what kind of existence can make Huaxi so jealous!

"If the patriarch is worried about my personal safety, I don't think so. I didn't come alone on this trip, there are four of my fellow brothers and sisters not far away, their strength is not bad, some time ago we also killed a fake Dan realm magic beast together, so if the Li clan really needs help, we are actually very happy. ”

Hua Xi's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief: "Your Excellency has killed the Fake Dan Realm's Demonic Beasts, I don't know what kind of Demonic Beasts this Demonic Beast is?"

Qi Daoyuan said: "It's a civet cat with red hair all over its body, and it also claims to be the civet king." ”

Huaxi was surprised and delighted, stood up directly from his seat, ran to Qi Daoyuan, and said, "Is what your guest said true?

Qi Daoyuan thought for a while, took out the demon pill he picked up from the storage ring, let Huaxi look at it, and said: "At that time, the red-haired civet cat relied on this demon pill and caused us a lot of trouble, and we finally tried our best to kill it, but this demon pill also suffered some damage, and it was not as red and glamorous as it was at the beginning." ”

Huaxi looked at the demon pill in Qi Daoyuan's hand seriously, then took two steps back, gave a solemn salute, and said: "Thank you for removing the great trouble for my Li clan, Huaxi expresses my highest gratitude and respect to you on behalf of the Li clan." ”

Seeing this, Qi Daoyuan hurriedly lifted her up, although the battle between them and the Tanuki King solved the danger of the Li clan, but this can only be regarded as a crooked fight, and he really can't afford Huaxi's gift, and his question has not yet been finally answered.

Although Qi Daoyuan had already thought through the content on the mural that the Tanuki King might have something to do with the Li clan, he didn't know what the specific situation was, and in his estimation, the true power of the lord of the Li clan and his guardian holy beast should at least be above the Jindan realm, otherwise he would not be able to lead the five clans to this day.

Even if the strength of the patriarch is not as good as that of the ancestors after the generations, as long as the holy beast is still there, the Li clan is not something that a mere demonic beast in the Fake Dan Realm can bully.

So could it be that there is something wrong with the Li Clan's guardian holy beast?

When Qi Daoyuan asked about these problems again, Huaxi no longer had the initial entanglement and helplessness, and explained the original situation.

It turned out that after the death of the leader of the five clans, the guardian holy beast became the most powerful combat force of the various clans.

As high-level demonic beasts, they have a long lifespan, several times that of humans, so they have long been respected among the tribes, and due to the initial prohibitions and oaths, they have also been guarding the five clans with peace of mind, sheltering the peace of the five clans for hundreds of years.

However, it wasn't until a few decades ago that a big event suddenly broke out in the Five Clans!

The five guardian holy beasts all fell into madness, and the patriarchs of all clans could not make the holy beasts quiet down with all their might, and finally had to peel off the inner pills of the holy beasts according to the sealing secret technique left by the ancestors, and seal all their bodies!

However, it didn't end there.

The Inner Dan that had been stripped out disappeared one after another, and a few years later, several powerful demonic beasts emerged from the periphery of the five clans, and the Holy Beast Inner Dan actually appeared on them.

Although the patriarchs of the five clans had the intention to kill these demonic beasts, but after the sealing technique was cast, they had run out of oil, and for some reason, the witchcraft passed down from generation to generation was not as powerful as before, so the attacks of these demonic beasts by the various clans were completely powerless.

Soon after, the previous generation of patriarchs fell, and new patriarchs began to take the throne, but they were even less able to wield witchcraft than their predecessors. The frequent attacks of the demonic beasts, they are basically powerless to resist, but they have to offer a large amount of tribute every time, which can be said to be very humiliating.

The sixth mutilated mural in the Li hall is the destruction of the last battle between the Li people and the raccoon king. The original painting above is also the scene of the various races struggling to resist the invasion of the demonic beast after the holy beast was sealed.

It was not until this time that Qi Daoyuan finally had a relatively clear understanding of the history of southern Xinjiang.

However, many questions remain unresolved.

For example, why did the holy beast suddenly go crazy?

Why did the Holy Beast Neidan be stolen one after another?

And how did these Warcraft, which looked like substitutes for the Holy Beast, appear?

What is the reason for their existence?

Behind the series of questions, there seems to be a huge conspiracy hidden.

Could it be the masterpiece of the Ten Thousand Bat Kings that Daomeng Zhenren said?

Perhaps, the truth is much more than that......
