Chapter 223: Cruel Ancient (Part II)
The old man told An Yun about the history of human suffering and struggle, the history of blood and tears, humiliation and unwillingness.
When An Yun first heard that human beings had suffered so much in ancient times, he was amazed at everything the old man said. Some of the ancient books she had read recorded that gods saved mankind, immortals revealed miracles, demons destroyed human nature, demons killed wantonly, and the ancient witch clan ruled the world, and all living beings were miserable.
However, she had never seen such a tragic record in any ancient book, or a legend about human suffering. It turns out that the beginning of the history of human monasticism is because of the invasion of foreign races, the original creation of human monks was at the cost of death and humiliation, and the original existence of today's monastic world, or the existence of all living beings, was exchanged for the lives and blood of ancient human beings.
An Yun accompanied the old man for a while, to be honest, the shock in her heart was more than sad. This is inevitable, she was not a human being in ancient times, and these events of hundreds of thousands of years ago, in addition to being shocked, it is really difficult for her to empathize.
"And then?" An Yun asked.
"Later?" The old man thought for a while, his eyes were a little dazed, and he suddenly asked, "Girl, where did I just go?" ”
An Yun was silent and reminded: "You said: 'Our ancestors are no longer as weak as they were when they first came, their respective races are fighting with each other, and if they want to get more resources in this world, they have to rely on and rely on the power of their ancestors', and then what? ”
"Uh-oh." The old man nodded suddenly and continued, "We call the first joint resistance battle of the ancestors the Battle of the New Moon. Because at that time, the sky had always been a new moon, and the huge red moon shone countless blood-red lights, staining the entire sky red. And the blood of our ancestors stained the whole earth red. At that time, the heavens and the earth were all blood-red, as if the whole world was full of killing, as if falling into the path of Shura in the netherworld. ”
"The Battle of the New Moon has shown the other races the power of our human ancestors, and their courage to defy death. After deliberation, in view of the strength of our human ancestors, they had to issue a pact of all races. The status of human beings is recognized in the Convention. It also recognizes the right of our human ancestors to live. They also have the right to cultivate, the right to be free. Our human ancestors were able to live with them in this world, and even divided a barren place for us as a gathering place for the human race. ”
"But this is not the main content of the Covenant of All Races, or this is just an attempt by other races to appease our remaining human ancestors. By the way, an additional article was added to the Pact of All Mens. As a matter of fact. Because of the Battle of the New Moon. Our human ancestors killed countless alien races, and when they were jointly suppressed by the alien races, they also vacated most of the cave heaven blessed land and genius earth treasures. These Heavenly Blessed Lands and Genius Earth Treasures have lost their original owners. It has become a borderless land, so it is natural to convene the memories of all ethnic groups to discuss and formulate a strategy for sharing the spoils. ”
The old man raised his head angrily, looked at An Yun's gaze like thunder and lightning, and said indignantly: "Our own homeland turned out to be divided by other races. It's just a matter of dividing up, the ancestors, who are the main force of suppression, can't get a blessed place to cultivate the next generation, and they haven't obtained any genius treasures. Why? ”
An Yun stepped back slightly, avoiding the old man's electric gaze.
The old man restrained his anger for a moment before continuing: "But the ancestors had expected this outcome a long time ago, so they didn't care. Anyway, the number of other races is small, and they can't manage the territory and genius treasures they have carved up, so they can only rely on cultivating our ancestors to help them protect them. In order to envelop our ancestors, they also knew that they would reward our ancestors with some spirit stone pills and give them some powerful magic weapons to the ancestors, so as to enhance the combat effectiveness of the ancestors so that they could use them. ”
"But these alien races are not stupid, especially after the Battle of the New Moon, their vigilance against our ancestral humans has never relaxed. The elixir they gave contained a violent erysipelas, which could make a primordial infant monk's soul fly away in a single breath under the control of their divine thoughts. Our ancestors knew that the pill was poisonous from the beginning, how could they dare to take it easily? But if you don't take the pill, wouldn't it be a direct telling to the alien race that our human ancestors don't trust them? ”
The old man is like a grandfather who tells the story to his little granddaughter, the story is full of suspense and ups and downs, and even the voice keeps changing, which makes people have a sense of expectation and substitution.
It's a pity that An Yun was a little puzzled, and she didn't feel the old man's good intentions at all, but thought in her heart: This old man seems to be old and confused, and there is no end to the nonsense, she just wants to know the result, how insignificant the process is.
Seeing the old man asking, she hurriedly cooperated: "Yes, what should I do then?" ”
The old man smiled and said, "Fortunately, there was an alchemy genius among our ancestors, who had been making a dantong for an alchemist who claimed to be an immortal since he was a child, and naturally learned the alchemy of this alchemist. His alchemy talent is extremely outstanding, and the alchemist's alchemy skills are extremely clever, and the heaven and earth elixirs in the medicine house are inexhaustible, so he can refine the pills indiscriminately. Fifty years later, his alchemy skills surpassed that of the alchemist. The ancestor felt that he could no longer learn anything new from the other party, so he killed the alchemist of the foreign race, occupied his medicine house and furnace ding, and began his cultivation alchemy career. ”
"Fortunately, this alchemist has always been a loner, he doesn't even have a friend, and there are no other clansmen around him, so no one has looked for him at all. That ancestor had been practicing exercises and alchemy in the medicine house, and after the alchemy was completed, he heard about it as soon as he came out of the customs. So, the ancestor stayed up all night, calculating the ingredients of the elixir issued by the alien race, and finally came up with the antidote. ”
"At this time, our ancestors dared to swallow the poison pills of all races and successfully paralyzed those alien races. They thought that our ancestors had swallowed those poison pills, and from then on they would be at ease, all the exercises were not forbidden for our human ancestors to learn, and all the powerful magic weapons were also distributed to our human ancestors. They began to fight each other. A scuffle began to eat away at the wealth of other races. In this melee, our human ancestors were the first to be sent to the forefront of the battle as cannon fodder, and our human ancestors endured grief to kill each other, and tearfully killed their relatives and clansmen. ”
An Yun frowned and interrupted the old man's words: "Old man, if it is said that in the first battle of the New Moon, our human ancestors were divided into two factions to fight and fight because of their different views on current affairs, I can still figure this out. But listening to what you just said, at this time, the power of our human ancestors was strong enough to threaten those foreign peoples. Our ancestors had the best exercises in their hands. There are high-grade spirit stones, and there are high-level magic weapons. The number of our ancestors is far greater than the sum of those foreign races, why don't they resist and overthrow the rule of the foreign races at this time, and kill them completely. On the contrary, he still works for those foreign races. Or even to kill his own countrymen? ”
The old man smiled slightly. Then he let out a long sigh. He glanced at An Yun meaningfully, and then stomped his feet.
An Yun didn't immediately comprehend what he meant, and thought for a while. Nodding his head, "I understand." ”
"Oh? Really get it? ”
An Yun nodded: "Because although there are few alien races, all human ancestors can also kill them if they join forces." However, after such a battle against the enemy of the world, the strength of our human ancestors will inevitably be reduced to the lowest point. When the time comes, our human ancestors will be weak and unable to withstand the slightest counterattack. And the doors of the alien races to our world are still there, and they can send new people at any time, and that is when our human race is completely wiped out. ”
"Not bad." The old man smiled and asked, "An Yun, if it were you, what would you do?" ”
An Yun groaned for a moment and said, "First of all, I must find a way to seal these gates, and I want to ensure that there is no fresh force from the alien races to send them over. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense for us to exterminate as many alien races as we do. ”
The old man was noncommittal, and his eyes motioned for her to continue.
"Secondly, I can't go to war with all the races at the same time, such a plan is too stupid, outnumbered, strong with weak, and wise people don't take it. Even if he wins in the end, it will only kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800. If it were me, I would choose to divide these races, create contradictions between these races, and encourage them to fight against each other, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and consume their strength. ”
"In the end, when they have a lot of strength depleted from each other, I will choose to break each one and finally win."
The old man laughed and said, "It's the head of the way, okay, you have a point." Didn't our ancestors do the same? They keep creating contradictions between those races, encouraging them to fight with each other. At that time, every corner of our Qingying Yue Hengtian was full of battles, and every race was constantly fighting. We call that period the Battle of Twilight, when the Ancient Giant Witch Clan rose to prominence and used their natural advantage to overwhelm them. ”
"Entering the Battle of Dusk, because the Ancient Giant Witch Clan was too strong, our ancestors immediately changed their strategy and formulated a strategy of combining horizontal and vertical strategies, and began to lobby various races to unite and jointly crusade against the Ancient Giant Witch Clan. Later, our human ancestors succeeded, and all the races united to fight against the ancient trolls, and called it the World Witch War. The Ancient Giant Witch Clan was finally wiped out, and our human ancestors began a second step of the plan, convincing the other races to seal the door of the Ancient Giant Witch World and our Celestial Heavens. This is the first door to be sealed. ”
"The ensuing Battle of Twilight, because the most powerful of the Ancient Giant Witch Clan disappeared, the Coalition broke down and re-entered the Battle of Twilight in the melee of the clans. All races, instigated by our human ancestors, began to close the door of the other race's connection with this time, more and more doors were closed, and more and more races disappeared in the war. And our human ancestors have unwittingly become the key to the victory or defeat of the battle, but our human ancestors still have not learned the sealing method of the door. ”
"Even if these races rely on our human ancestors, they will not tell us about the sealing method of the door, so we can only continue to use all kinds of schemes to create a war between foreign races. Then, let them seal each other's doors to prevent each other's reinforcements from coming. Until the end, only the alien races were left with demons and Shura. These two powerful races began the final battle for supremacy, they duel it out in Lethe, that battle, it is said that even the extraterritorial heavenly demons have participated, and even the Shura King has been summoned here, the yin wind roars, and the demonic aura is towering. ”
An Yun's heart was shaken, thinking about the battle of the clans at the beginning, and the final decisive battle in the Lechuan Valley, what a spectacular scene, and what a tragic and ruthless scene.
"At that time, our human ancestors finally decided to help the Netherworld Shura Realm after careful consideration, and our human ancestors joined in that grand end-time war, paying a huge price, and in the end all the demons were wiped out, and the Netherworld also suffered heavy losses. With the final success of the Netherworld, the battle of the twilight of the melee of the clans has finally come to an end. However, the aura of heaven and earth has become thinner and thinner in the melee of the various clans for so many years, and all the cave heaven blessed land has turned into flying ashes in various powerful spells, and the genius earth treasures and spirit vein ores have been consumed. Our homeland is no longer in abundance, and it is a ruined place of ruins. ”
"There are no winners in this battle, especially us humans, our homeland was destroyed by the war, although we eventually won the victory, driving all the invading races out of our homes, and our youth and darkness are more and more balanced."
The old man of barberry sighed as he spoke, and old tears were on his cheeks.
An Yun also sighed, and only said after a long time: "Who sealed the gate of the Netherworld Shura Realm?" ”
"No one seals, and no one will seal." The old man shook his head and pointed to the ground under his feet: "This gate was temporarily sealed by a formation cultivator among the human ancestors with the formation of an ancient giant witch, but it cannot be completely sealed. Netherworld aura can still seep through, constantly transforming the creatures on the island. The low-level undead creatures of the Netherworld were also able to pass through, constantly destroying the formation that sealed the door. ”
An Yun suddenly said: "Therefore, this island needs to be guarded by a tomb keeper. ”
"Yes, the grave keeper is responsible for guarding this island from the invasion of the Netherworld, and if an undead creature from the Netherworld comes out, we will kill one. I am the leader of the first generation of grave keepers, and this piece of Xuanying Iron in your hand is the key to this door. ”
An Yun was puzzled: "The key? ”
"Yes." The old man explained, "This piece of Xuanying Iron can open and close the formation laid by that human ancestor, so it is the key. The person who holds this key is the leader of the grave keepers. (To be continued......)
