"Leaves?"

"Huh?"

"What kind of gods did your Shenmu tribe originally believe in?" Lu Chen asked Ye Zi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the early morning of this day, when the sky was just bright, Ye Zi was getting up and heard his question. Although he was still afraid of this black-robed priest, in terms of getting along with him on weekdays, in fact, Lu Chen did not have any offense or evil words towards Ye Zi, but in comparison, he was kinder than most of the barbarians outside, so these days, Ye Zi has been a lot more comfortable in front of this dim priest's stone house and this black-robed priest, at least he is not as restrained and resistant to Lu Chen as he was at the beginning.

And after hearing this sentence suddenly, Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of gloom flashed across his face, and said, "What are you asking for?"

Lu Chen glanced at her and said, "What's the matter, it's inconvenient to say?"

Ye Zi hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "A clan elder I know once told me that now that we are in this situation, we can no longer mention the previous gods and ancestors. ”

Lu Chen paused for a moment, probably only now to react, in fact, he wiped out the family and destroyed the beliefs of the ancestors and gods, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, but fortunately, he was sitting in the shadows, and he was not afraid of Ye Zi seeing it.

However, after a while, Lu Chen still said lightly: "It's okay, you can talk to me casually." ”

Ye Zi probably still didn't dare to disobey this mysterious and terrifying black-robed priest, so after hesitating for a while, he still spoke, and said carefully: "Since I was a child, I heard the elders of the clan say that our Shenmu tribe is the descendant of the tree god, just like the branches and leaves of trees, and they have been living in this wasteland for generations......

"Tree God?" Lu Chen suddenly interrupted her and repeated.

Ye Zi nodded and said, "Yes, Tree God." ”

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What does the tree god look like?"

Ye Zi thought about it, his face was adoring and yearning, and his thoughts seemed to return to the heyday of the Shenmu tribe: "Hmm...... Legend in the tribe is that when the heavens and the earth first opened, there was a sacred tree that stood on top of the sky and was born in the world, which was the ancestor of all things and the source of all living beings in the world. The branches and leaves and canopy of the sacred tree cover the entire vast land of Shenzhou, and every leaf has life, and each seed it bears has turned into a different barbarian, the earliest ancestor of all tribes, and then has been multiplying and living to this day. ”

Lu Chen listened quietly, didn't speak for a while, Ye Zi glanced over there, a little uneasy in his heart, and a little regretful, I don't know if what he just said angered this priest, after all, the Shenmu tribe no longer exists.

It's just that after the timidity, Ye Zi was a little secretly angry again, thinking, isn't this all your own words.

"My lord, are you alright?" Ye Zi finally asked in a low voice as he was still a little afraid of the black-robed priest.

Lu Chen raised his head, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that those words just now sounded a little familiar." ”

"Familiar?" Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement, "Then where did you hear about the legends in our tribe before?"

Lu Chen smiled and didn't answer her question, but stood up and asked casually, "In addition to your original Shenmu tribe, are there any other tribes in the wasteland that worship the tree god?"

Ye Zi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It should be gone." ”

Lu Chen nodded and said: "The Black Fire tribe believes in the god of fire, the mountain spirit tribe believes in the god of the earth, and the thunder lizard and the ghost fox tribe believe that they are the descendants of the divine beasts, and the gods that each tribe believes in are different, but most of the tribes say that the gods they believe in have created all things and all living beings in the world. He slowly walked up to Ye Zi, looked at him condescendingly, and asked calmly, "Why do you think that?"

Ye Zi should have never been asked this question, and he was a little stammered for a while, and then said, "I don't know." ”

Lu Chen said: "Then which one do you believe?"

Ye Zi said without thinking: "Of course I believe in the tree god of my own tribe......"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered the current situation, the Shenmu tribe had been wiped out, and the former belief in the gods had long been abandoned, and for a while, Ye Zi's whole person was at a loss.

Lu Chen stared at her, slowly squatting down in front of her, Ye Zi was a little furious by the gaze of this black-robed priest, his body subconsciously shrank back, and said, "You, what are you doing?"

"Looks like you're still thinking about remembering your old tribe?" he confirmed casually.

Ye Zi's heart sank suddenly, and her whole face turned pale at once, she lowered her head, trying to hold back the fear in her heart to beg for mercy from this terrible black-robed priest, and even at the same moment in her mind, the painful scene of those people who died tragically in the black fire appeared on the day when the Shenmu tribe was wiped out.

She suddenly realized that this person was still the most terrible demon, it turned out that these days, his kindness had only made her relax her guard a little, and deep down, she was still so afraid.

The barbarian girl's body trembled, her eyes stared at Lu Chen's palm, and she felt that the terrifying black fire was about to rise from there in the next moment, and then engulf herself.

Perhaps before that, almost boundless fear was about to engulf her.

Lu Chen left the priest's stone house, of course, he didn't do anything to Ye Zi before this, the barbarian girl looked obviously frightened, and Lu Chen could probably understand the reason.

Lu Chen was also a little helpless in his heart about the terrifying and terrifying image he left behind for these barbarians, but this kind of thing could not be changed, and he had no intention of changing anything.

However, when he was leaving, he still made it clear that Ye Zi didn't care about this kind of thing.

After hearing this, the barbarian girl looked a little incredulous, but she finally recovered from the state of being scared to death, otherwise Lu Chen really had some doubts that she would be scared crazy.

But speaking of this, Lu Chen suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, thinking to himself, haven't barbarians always been known for their courage and fierceness? Even if they are not men, it seems that barbarian women should not be so fragile, or they should have such a sensitive temperament......

Or is it because he has too little contact with barbarian women, but he doesn't know anything about it?

Thinking about it, since coming to the Southern Xinjiang Wasteland, it seems that only Ye Zi, a barbarian woman, has had close contact with herself. Lu Chen shook his head, throwing these out of tune thoughts, and at the same time sneering in his heart, thinking that the so-called great cause of the fire rock seemed more and more unrealistic.

There are countless tribes in the wasteland of southern Xinjiang, and if each tribe has its own beliefs, then it is simply impossible to truly unify all the tribes.

Force can exterminate the clan and force them to abandon their ancestors and beliefs on the surface, but who can control the activities in the depths of their hearts?

Moreover, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you are strong for a while and subdue the Quartet, after a long time, there will definitely be changes.

But at that time, I couldn't control it.

In the center of the camp of the Black Fire Clan, a large group of people and horses stayed there, people calmed down and waited, and when the cold wind blew, the entire tribe was silent and silent, exuding a strong murderous aura.

Today is the day of the expedition.

The war for the final dominance of the northern land of the wasteland is about to begin. According to the request of the patriarch Huoyan, in order to restore the glory of the ancestors of the tribe and seek the blessing of the ancestors, the Black Fire tribe held a sacrificial ceremony that had been interrupted for hundreds of years, and the person who presided over this sacred ceremony was, of course, the tribal priest Lu Chen, who appeared so suddenly.

When watching the black-robed priest coming from far and near, the eyes of the people in the Black Fire Tribe were complicated, this may be an absurd and unseen scene that has never appeared in thousands of years - a human race, preparing to preside over the most sacred and important sacrifice of the barbarian tribe.

There is nothing more strange in the world than this, perhaps this is the reason why the gods in heaven are high and unfathomable.

A stone platform was erected in the center of the camp, Lu Chen climbed the steps, under the gaze of everyone, he worshiped heaven and earth in style, prayed to the gods, and then, when he raised his hands violently, between the black robes danced, the dark flames rose suddenly, and suddenly, all the black fire people put aside those complicated thoughts, and any doubts could not withstand the power of the dark flames. Under the light of the black fire, all the barbarians knelt down.

Lu Chen waved the black fire expressionlessly, looking up at the sky, but he didn't have much awe for the so-called gods, but at this moment, he suddenly felt alarmed, his eyes froze, and he looked at the black fire.

I saw that the black fireworks suddenly shook violently, and after a while, they suddenly deflected in one direction, like the hand of the spirit, and seemed to guide the direction. After going on like this for a short while, the black fire seemed to be slowly returning to normal.

A complicated and slightly stunned look flashed on Lu Chen's face, and when he looked up, he saw a secluded and dark stone house in the far direction, standing quietly in the corner of this tribe.
