XLIV. A person without a surname
Originally, the fishermen of Donggao caught turtles, and the Heavenly Punishment Clan on the lone fishing stone was still able to turn a blind eye and condone it. www.biquge.info Later, greedy humans came to do it every once in a while, annoying the giants, confiscating the tools and threatening to confiscate their stuff - the head of the eater.
After walking like this for seven or eight days, the deep sea, which became more and more blue, seemed to be endless. Do you still want to go solo fishing for stones? Don't be funny, okay! After such a long journey, if you go there and come back, do you think your little life will not live long enough?
On this morning, perhaps seeing Qiao Mengchen's anxiety, the village chief comforted him by saying that he had watched the sky at night yesterday and thought that the Duyu Stone should be near.
You think you're Zhuge Kongming!
Qiao Mengchen didn't believe the village chief's statement, and in his impatience, he ran countless times to check the distance traveled by the model ship, but the distance between the model ship and the center point of the boat model still did not shrink much. With nothing to do, the situation highlighted in front of him easily shattered Qiao Mengchen's ridiculous self-righteousness: a cloud embankment made of white clouds blocked the way of the fishing boat. In the middle of the cloud embankment, a gate opened. The clouds and mist are constantly changing the shape of the cloud embankment, and only the cloud gate is immovable.
The world behind the Cloud Gate, with the waves crashing on the shore and the white waves rolling, is a world composed of rocks and forests. The lone fishing stone is close at hand.
Those who have been lucky enough to see Table Mountain in South Africa and Roraima Flats in Venezuela will be impressed by these two strange mountains, which look like huge square tables. Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" was inspired by Mount Roraima. And now, the "lone fishing stone" that Qiao Mengchen saw in front of him is not known how many times wider and more majestic than these square and flat flat-topped mountains.
The boxy and bizarre shape of the solitary fishing stone is really unexpected, and it is indeed worthy of the title of "solitary fishing stone".
Several silver waterfalls that go out to sea hang down from the cliffs of the flat-topped plateau, the rumbling sound is like a flying dragon roaring, the white mist and mist water are delicate, like chasing the wind and electricity, stirring up the pearls and jade on the water surface of a thousand feet low. The flat-topped plateau above the waterfall, the ancient trees are towering and dusty, and the cliff mirror is entwined with vines and arrowroot, which adds a strange beauty in the magnificence.
The cloud embankment rises from the surface of the sea and acts as a natural barrier, keeping the solitary stones under the cover of the clouds. The legendary Heavenly Damnation Clan, do you want to hide something?
As soon as the fishing boat entered the Cloud Gate, two bamboo rafts, as fast as lightning, blocked the way in an instant.
"Savage and ignorant humans, trying to poach innocent creatures again?!
The loud bell-like guttural voice made everyone shudder, and the speaker was a bald giant man with a body of three feet and a waist of ten measurements. There are a total of six people on the two bamboo rafts, and they are all pimples and fleshy all over their bodies, and they are all devil muscles and flesh people at first glance.
It's all here, and it's not something that can be sent away with a sentence or two.
The village chief saluted respectfully, cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are not fishermen who catch turtles, but have come to ask to see the patriarch and uncle. Please make it convenient for you to allow us to go to the island to meet the patriarch. ”
"Hey, you said it lightly, how can the patriarch and his old man see him when he sees him? If you don't get out of here, I will throw you to feed the fish!"
Qiao Mengchen saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly took out Mr. Bai Lang's letter: "This is a letter written by Mr. Bai Lang to the patriarch and uncle, please take a look." ”
The bald head took it and tore open the envelope, looked left and right for a long time without making a sound. The shorter man next to him couldn't hold his breath, and whispered, "You don't know how to read, show me", and the bald head was ashamed to hand over the letter, with a look of unwillingness.
After reading the letter, the dwarf man looked at Qiao Mengchen again, then looked at the letter and then looked at Qiao Mengchen. This was repeated several times, and then he grunted with the bald head. It seems that the bald head is the leader of several giants, and without his approval, no outsider is allowed to land on the island without his permission. Maybe it's his illiterate nature, and he was exposed by the dwarf and made his face dull, so no matter how the dwarf who doesn't give face explains, the bald head just doesn't give face, and refuses Qiao Mengchen to board the lone fishing stone.
Qiao Mengchen had secretly read the letter and knew its contents. At this moment, seeing that things are not up to the bottom, he can't help but say loudly that the Netherworld Demon Clan wants to return to the world. This method worked, and the giants' faces changed color, and they hurriedly opened the way for the fishing boat to land.
Boarding the only port of Duyushi, Qiao Mengchen and the others have followed the bald giant man on a wide and straight avenue. As seen from the boat, the road was lined with huge trees that could reach high in the sky. There is little soil on the island, and the trees are rooted in the crevices of the rocks. There are few pedestrians on the road, only from time to time there are equally terrifying birds and beasts passing slowly, not afraid of people.
After a short journey, two carriages picked them up and continued on their way.
As soon as they sat down, they heard the groom's soft call, and the two majestic horses raised their hooves, spread their wings freely, and carried a cart of people slowly off the ground. Pegasus, which appeared in Greek mythology, was presented in such a way. However, Qiao Mengchen had not seen the wings on the horse's back before.
"I heard that this is a species that the Damned people have improved themselves. You see, the beak of a horse is like a bird's beak, and it is said that the horse is just a form. "Wen Daoyi is a good tour guide, a good tour guide with a conscience in the industry.
Pegasus can fly, but at a limited height, just at level with the towering trees on the left and right of the road. However, the speed has been raised, and no matter how you look at it, you feel that it has reached the upper limit of the speed stipulated by the domestic highway.
Soon, the field of vision gradually widened, and a tall and round stone mountain appeared in a lush environment. A magnificent palace is built against the mountain, and the grandeur of the old and solemn seems to tell the dusty history. But the stone palace was too big to be seen from mid-air.
Landing firmly, other giants have come to pick up the station. reported and searched the body, and then, everyone else was stopped, and only Qiao Mengchen was allowed to enter the palace.
The patriarch's shelf is a bit big.
The oversized stone steps, stone pillars, stone tables, stone benches, stone cups and stone vessels are all related to stone. After passing through the hall, he was about to see the patriarch himself, Qiao Mengchen, who didn't know what the future was, beat the drum in his heart, in case he was rejected outright, the journey all the way would be in vain, and his life would come to an end.
Of course, the familiar sense of immediacy made Qiao Mengchen experience the horror of his first encounter with another star. Not only that, but the Damnation was too tall to walk side by side with the giants, like a seven or eight-year-old child looking up at an adult.
On the huge throne sat a huge patriarch, and the letter paper was less than half the size of the palm of his hand. It can be seen that although the patriarch is old, he still has the power of his youth between his eyebrows.
"You're the one who said in the letter that you want to heal, Qiao Mengchen?" the old patriarch stood up, almost scaring Qiao Mengchen into his stomach.
For example, the Damned Clan is an ant, and the patriarch is the Ant King. The old fellow was taller and burlier, and his size was at least as large as four or five Qiao Mengchen.
Standing and talking to him hurts in the back, at least the atmosphere is depressing. Qiao Mengchen took a step back: "It's me who ......"
In a series of questions, the patriarch said a name called Bai. Qiao Mengchen didn't hear it too clearly, isn't it in vain? Whatever, as long as people buy it. Qiao Mengchen was hopeful, echoing and nodding frequently. The patriarch lamented that the years had passed, and he saw that the same generation had returned to the West, and he was the only one left to live on his own.
He let out a lot of sighs inexplicably, looking at the few big men beside him stupidly, and didn't dare to interject casually.
"You said that the underworld is preparing to invade the human realm again?"
Affirmed by Qiao Mengchen, the patriarch was silent again. He paced a few steps with his hands down, then whispered a few words to the others, and the two giants went out the door.
"Since it is entrusted by Mr. Bai, I can't refute other people's face. However, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and in order to cure your problems completely, you have to complete the things I have explained. Considering the condition of your injury, it can help you control the turbidity in your body first, so that your body does not continue to be invaded, and help you restore your qi and blood to normal levels. ”
The ball, unexpectedly kicked at Qiao Mengchen's feet, how to deal with it? However, the Heavenly Punishment Patriarch has a few brushes, and he can see Qiao Mengchen's unprecedented terminal illness with the naked eye.
"Out of the deep sea, take the road due south. After about 200,000 miles, you will come to the edge of the blazing ocean. On the coastline, there is a high mountain called the Infinite Abyss Rock, and what you have to do is there. ”
The common ancestor of the Heavenly Punishment Clan is the human god who led the coalition army to fight against the dark forces of the underworld thousands of years ago - Xiang Zuqiu. After Xiang Zuqiu's success was completed, the family was also mutilated and killed, and only the third and fifth sons escaped in chaos. After countless tossing and turning, he finally settled down in the vast Duyu Stone, and has been alone until today.
In order to prevent the demons of the underworld from being wiped out, they call themselves the Heavenly Curse Clan to avoid causing trouble by using their original surnames. Regardless of gender, everyone is ranked in alphabetical order, and the real Mr. Nobody (person without a surname).
One of Xiang Zuqiu's three sons is in decline, but one of the five sons is thriving, and the old patriarch named Uncle Chou is his descendant. The son of the ugly uncle is called Uncle Yin, the grandson is called Uncle Mao, and so on, and the children and grandchildren are endless.
Xiang Zuqiu has many enemies, in addition to the underworld forces' base camp Hades, there are also extremely powerful opponents such as the half-orcs of the Kujiri Continent and Yun Kui of the Demon Domain. Perhaps it was because the upper realm was pitiful that the Xiang clan was lonely, and while scattering stones into an island, they specially built a cloud embankment near the Dudiao Stone to prevent their whereabouts from being sought by the enemy.
Whether it is physique, appearance, skills, or number of techniques, it has already degraded very seriously by the ugly uncle generation, and the most powerful character in the clan can't even catch up with one-tenth of Xiang Zuqiu before he became famous. Another fate of not asking about the world and working behind closed doors is the psychology of being afraid of changes in the outside world. Ever since they boarded the Solo Fishing Stone, the Celestial Damnation has never left here, and they haven't even moved their minds in this regard.
Although they have resources that others do not have, although they can achieve their ambition to reach the heavens and the sea.
Like Qiao Mengchen, who rushed to the doctor, so did Uncle Ugly. Therefore, as soon as he heard that the evil demon was planning to reappear in the world, he immediately thought of one thing, regardless of whether there was anyone who had that ability and whether anyone could play it all over the island.
What Qiao Mengchen wanted to do was to recover the artifact that Xiang Zuqiu had fallen off the cliff thousands of years ago, the dragon tooth giant sword.
The Dragon's Tooth Greatsword was once the first blade in the Nether. The reason why it is extremely sharp and powerful is that it is a fusion of the obsidian created by heaven and earth, the wisdom of a skilled craftsman in the world, and the extraordinary divine power of Xiang Zuqiu.
Qiao Mengchen was still weighing, and the giant Mao Shiyi, who had gone out, came back, holding a monster covered in thorns in his hand.
