Chapter 183: What is the purpose?
Prime Minister Gui Cheng, as usual, still looks as usual, so humble that Wu Xingfeng is a little embarrassed!
"What do you think about the general's injury?" Wu Xingfeng poured a cup of pearl liquid for Prime Minister Gui Cheng, this pearl liquid with white luster is made of thousand-year-old pearls ground into powder and refined with longevity grass in the East China Sea, which has the effect of replenishing qi and prolonging life.
Prime Minister Turtle wanted to stand, but Wu Xingfeng insisted that he sit and talk, so that he was more restrained, and the turtle shell was cushioned on the stool, uncomfortable left and right, like sitting on pins and needles.
Seeing Wu Xingfeng bringing pearl liquid to him, he hurriedly got up, grabbed the corners of his robe with both hands, and was sincerely afraid. "How could Weichen He De actually let the Dragon King serve tea and water. ”
Wu Xingfeng smiled bitterly in his heart, Prime Minister Gui was still the same as when he first saw him, keeping a distance from the monarch and the minister. "In the future, when you see this king, relax a little, this king and you will take care of each other, if the affairs of the court are not handled by the turtle prime minister, this king is really confused. ”
Prime Minister Gui Cheng took the crystal cup tremblingly, and replied humbly: "Before Wei Chen met the Dragon King, he was a miscellaneous man in the East China Sea, doing dirty and tiring work, and it was the Dragon King who gave Wei Chen so much power. Wei Chen was terrified all day long, and he tried his best to do it, for fear that there would be a place that was not handled well and would add trouble to the Dragon King. ”
"You're doing a great job. Wu Xingfeng raised the crystal cup and took a sip.
Prime Minister Gui said: "I heard General Zuo say that the Dragon King was attacked on the way, Weichen deliberately did an investigation secretly, but did not find the suspect, the general's injury is not like someone deliberately." ”
Wu Xingfeng said: "Maybe there is someone else, put this matter aside for the time being." Tell me about the Three-Eyed Clan!"
Prime Minister Gu held the crystal cup in both hands, and after pondering it, he said slowly: "The origin of the Three-Eyed Clan is unknown, it took Wei Chen five hundred years to travel all over the Eight Desolations and Four Regions, and traveled to many regional races that did not belong to the Six Realms. Among them, there is a Yuntian Ridge, in the deep mountains and jungles in the extreme south of the East China Sea, there is a formation, that day Weichen lost his temper after drinking and trampled to death the birds that were still hatching.
was chased by a wooden bird and inadvertently broke into the formation. The formation is separated from the outside world, yin and yang are incompatible, and the people inside are all three-eyed human bodies. The patriarch was a bald man, who wore a small brimmed hat and a cane with a bell the size of a palm hanging from the crutch with red thread.
The man was very surprised to see Wei Chen. In their world, they have never seen outsiders, and only this patriarch is qualified to go out, so they know what kind of genus Weichen is. ”
Speaking of this, Prime Minister Gui seemed to be a little excited, took a sip of pearl liquid, wiped the water stains on his mouth, and then continued: "The patriarch asked me what year it is outside. ”
"How did you answer?" Wu Xingfeng was very amused.
"Weichen doesn't know the year, but he only knows that it is about the one hundred and second year after the third generation of Emperor Yan ascended the throne. The turtle was thoughtful, reached into his arms, and took out a small piece of wood.
The small wood chips are very seriously worn, but Wu Xingfeng still sees the clues in the structure of the small wood chips. "This is a part of a three-eyed brass bell?"
When Wu Xingfeng said this, Prime Minister Gui stared. "The Dragon King knows about the three-eyed copper bell?"
"I've seen it before, the people of the Three-Eyed Clan are related to the Three-Eyed Copper Bell?" Wu Xingfeng was even more puzzled, the ideas that had been hard to sort out before were overturned again, and the bends and curves in this were all entangled, and there were all kinds of clues, only by finding the bundle of red heads, could they straighten it out, and only then could they know what was going on.
"The patriarch of the Three-Eyed Clan said that their ancestors came from an alien plane, and that they had been left here to fulfill a mission. This mission has to do with finding someone. ”
"Did they find it?" Wu Xingfeng didn't ask Prime Minister Turtle who the patriarch of the Three-Eyed Clan was looking for, but asked Prime Minister Turtle if he had found it, so as to push back, he wanted to know why the patriarch of the Three-Eyed Clan was looking for that person.
Prime Minister Turtle shook his head. "The Three-Eyed Clan is trapped in the formation, and they are completely cut off from the outside world, so it is impossible to find the person they are looking for. ”
Wu Xingfeng frowned and thought, waiting for Prime Minister Gui to continue speaking.
After a short recollection, Prime Minister Gui said: "Wechen stayed in the formation for three years and learned their language. ”
"Do you know their language?" Wu Xingfeng interrupted in surprise, his brows furrowed as he repeated the question he had just said in the mysterious language taught to him by his master, Xin Wangshan.
Wu Xingfeng finished speaking, and the turtle got up from the chair. "Dragon King...... Do you also know their language?"
The sudden clue, like a headless fly, hit Wu Xingfeng's braincase, that is, he wanted to drive away, but he was afraid of losing his only partner.
"How did you come out?"
"The patriarch broke the formation, and the Three-Eyed Clan was able to appear. But in recent decades, it seems to have become extinct. Prime Minister Turtle said.
"After they merged with the outside world, they lost their original language ability?" Wu Xingfeng thought of the language in which Li Mu spoke with him, and Li Mu spoke the current language, not the ancient indigenous language of the Three-Eyed Clan.
"Maybe there was a problem in the inheritance, and later the women of the Three-Eyed Clan were unable to have children, and of nearly 10,000 Three-Eyed Clansmen, in the end there were less than 200 left. After 100 years of reproduction, it is now extinct. ”
Prime Minister Gui said again: "Wei Chen heard Lord Zuo say that the Dragon King had saved a man from the Three-Eyed Clan before, where is this person now?"
"The rescued person, who called himself Limu, went to find his own people after leaving the palace, and then there was no news, and Prime Minister Zuo also sent someone to inquire about the Three-Eyed Clan, and finally there was no news. After Wu Xingfeng finished speaking, he looked at Prime Minister Gui. "If you were asked to go to the area where the Three-Eyed Clan lived, would you be able to find it?"
"Dragon King......" Prime Minister Turtle stopped talking.
"The prime minister, but it doesn't hurt to say. Wu Xingfeng smiled and spoke.
Prime Minister Gui said: "If there is no destruction, there are traces of nature." Wei Chen dared to ask why the Dragon King was so interested in the Three-Eyed Clan?"
"This king found a bead in the Xuanyan Ice Palace that was identical to the Great Sun Divine Bead above the dome of the Dragon Palace. The beads contained the consciousness left by the Three-Eyed Man, who spoke only one word in the indigenous language. ”
"Xuanyan Ice Palace?"
Prime Minister Gui was stunned, apparently he had seen it too.
"Is there a connection between the Three-Eyed Clan and the Xuanyan Ice Palace?" Wu Xingfeng sat upright and asked eagerly.
"Yes. And there's a legend in it. Prime Minister Gui Cheng said categorically: "As long as you give your eyes, the eyeless person in the Ice Palace can let the eye-giver get everything he wants." ”
"This king has seen it, but who in this world would gouge out his eyes and give them to others in exchange for what he wants. Wu Xingfeng shook his head and said. "What else do you know?"
"The Xuanyan Ice Palace appears every six hundred and sixty years, and two bright moons will appear in the sky. ”
"How long does the bright moon last?" Wu Xingfeng got up and stood up. "Go with the king to the sea. ”
Prime Minister Gui followed behind Wu Xingfeng and trotted all the way. "Six days. ”
As she spoke, she happened to see Xuannu bringing snacks for Wu Xingfeng, which was an osmanthus cake she cooked herself.
"You'er, you're just in time, come out with me. ”
The three of them came to the sea through the ascending portal, just when the bright moon was hanging high, and there were really two bright moons, one left and one right.
"How can there be two bright moons?" the Xuannu was shocked.
"Prime Minister Turtle said that it appears once every 660 years and lasts for six days. Tonight is the last time. Wu Xingfeng explained, looked at the turtle prime minister behind him and said: "This king thinks that it is like a foreign civilization piloting a flying machine to visit the gods of the heavenly realm. ”
Although Prime Minister Kametsu knew everything, he had obviously never heard of what a flying machine was.
Sure enough, after Wu Xingfeng finished speaking, he was at a loss.
"The Dragon King forgives his sins, Weichen is ignorant, and he doesn't know what a flying machine is?"
Wu Xingfeng didn't explain, just made a simple analogy. "It's like a wave board that the Donghai people fly on the waves, but the name is different. ”
Prime Minister Gui Cheng was shocked. "I see. ”
After staying for a moment, the three of them returned to the Dragon Palace again.
In the imperial study, Prime Minister Gui continued to talk about the possible relationship between the Three-Eyed Bronze Bell and the Xuanyan Ice Palace, as well as the people the Three-Eyed Clan was looking for.
"Did the ancestor of the Three-Eyed Clan say why you are looking for that person?" Wu Xingfeng took the pastry that Xuannu handed to his mouth and took a bite. "Give Prime Minister Gui some to try too. ”
Prime Minister Gui took it with a trembling hand. "Thank you for the reward. ”
Xuannu said casually: "You continue." ”
Only then did Prime Minister Turtle say: "The ancestor of the Three-Eyed Clan only said that the person would appear after a long time, and did not say why he was looking for him. ”
"Since it is ordered to be searched by future generations, there has been a description of the person to be found, such as the appearance, the possible era, or the cultivation he has. Wu Xingfeng frowned and asked.
"I heard the patriarch say that the death of the four square gods is when that person appears. All the clan had to do was continue the bloodline and wait until that person appeared. Prime Minister Gui replied.
Wu Xingfeng nodded slowly, what Prime Minister Turtle said basically coincided with the time when he appeared, after the old turtle killed the Quartet Zhengshen, the three-eyed copper bell lost its effect at the same time.
As for the origin of the three-eyed copper bell, it has little to do with this matter, what Wu Xingfeng wants to figure out is why the man of the Three-Eyed Clan displayed by the yellow beads in the Xuanyan Ice Palace would say "I finally found him", such a thing.
Why are you looking for him and what is the purpose of looking for him?
I don't know how long it took, until the Xuannu invited the turtle prime minister away, Wu Xingfeng still sat quietly and thought, in the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and Wu Xingfeng still didn't sort out his thoughts.
The answer is on the lips, but I can't reach it, and this feeling is very uncomfortable.
"Could it have something to do with the Mixed Element Spirit? And the purpose of their search for you was to know in advance that your possession of the Mixed Element Spirit might be the root cause of the division of the Great Universe, which is why they spent such a great price to return to the Heavenly Realm once every six hundred and sixty years. It is not only to observe the dynamics of the Xuanhuang universe, but also to control the degree of development of the Xuanhuang civilization!"
Xuannu has a big brain, is not constrained by the region, boldly speculates, and what she said is reasonable, but Wu Xingfeng doesn't think so, this matter is by no means as simple as imagined.
Wu Xingfeng thought for a long time to no avail, and was about to go to the dormitory with the Xuannu to rest, when there was a noisy footstep outside the hall.
"Enlightening the Dragon King, a large number of heavenly soldiers suddenly appeared on the sea. The war is on the verge of breaking out. Osu, who was in charge of the patrol, hurriedly came with a small group of shrimp soldiers to report, and Prime Minister Kameki and a cadre of ministers also gathered outside the imperial study at this moment.
Wu Xingfeng frowned. "How many came?"
