Chapter 80: Can't Let It Go
Jiu Wentian nodded and said, "I also think there is something wrong with those lines when you say this, but no matter what, they all think that those lines are controlled by the demon god, and it seems that whose name is on them is also determined by the demon god." ”
Gu Zhengwen said: "Every place has its own customs and habits, this is something they have identified since they were children, so they don't doubt it at all, and there are very few outsiders who have seen this night banquet, and there are few people like us who have seen the whole process." Forget it, let's go to bed early, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”
"Well, sleep. Jiu Wentian blew out the candlelight, then leaned on the table and closed his eyes.
But Jiu Wentian couldn't sleep, because tonight's events were too much for him to figure out, the eldest prince of a city, said that he would be a sacrifice? This is too hasty, but Jiu Wentian also thought about it, what if it was not Ji Xingwen's name this time, but other unknown people?
It's hard to say, but Jiu Wentian is disgusted with this kind of sacrifice from the bottom of his heart, and the scientific spirit instilled in him in his previous life will not allow him to believe in these tricks, but in this world he has to believe all this. Jiu Wentian, who had been thinking about it for a long time, fell into a strange realm, he was angry with himself, and he actually wanted to beat himself.
Jiu Wentian, who really couldn't sleep, suddenly thought of Gu Qi, and then touched the white jade with his hand, and directly entered the watchful place in the mountains and rivers. Jiu Wentian, who came to the first-order forest, looked at the surrounding scene and found that there was no difference, Jiu Wentian glanced at Gu Qi with his eyes closed and said, "Gu Qi, are you still sleeping?"
Unexpectedly, this time it was a mistake by Jiu Wentian, only to see Gu Qi slowly turn around, and then looked at him with his eyes and said: "I didn't sleep, what's the matter, did something happen again? Or do you have any troubles? I am not a place for you to solve things, you don't always say that you will run here whenever you have difficulties, in the final analysis, you still have to face it yourself." ”
Jiu Wentian smiled, and then said: "I'm here, firstly, because I really can't sleep, and secondly, because there is something I really have some doubts, in the spirit that you can help me solve it, if you don't want to, I'll leave." ”
"Tell me, I see what makes you so confused. Gu Qi said after taking a long breath.
Jiu Wentian sat there cross-legged and said everything about tonight, but he didn't expect Gu Qi to open his mouth and say: "I really didn't expect that the women there have become like this, and I can't help but feel a little nostalgic." ”
"What do you miss?!" Jiu Wentian almost vomited blood, he didn't expect Gu Qi to have such an experience, and he also missed women, Jiu Wentian had to wonder if it was a person before.
Gu Qi then said: "When I was a little sapling, I came to Fengcheng, and the women at that time were still relatively shy, and their hands were also tender, and it made me feel very comfortable touching my leaves. But then I heard that they became like men, and I haven't been there since, by the way, what are you doing in Fengcheng?"
Jiu Wentian explained: "In about half a month, it will be Jiang Qiufang's coming-of-age ceremony, and I became an envoy a few days ago, so I came to inform the other three cities in Mingzhou to come to her coming-of-age ceremony." Originally, I said that I would leave after a notice in Fengcheng, but I didn't expect to meet a toast here, and then I saw those things, and now I can't sleep. ”
"It's weird. Gu Qi couldn't help but say.
"What's strange?" Jiu Wentian was even more puzzled when he heard these words.
Gu Qi couldn't help but say solemnly: "Other people's affairs, what are you messing about, today you feel uncomfortable when you see that the eldest prince is going to die, do you mean that you will be comfortable with the death of a common man tomorrow? Think about it again, the person killed by Damocles ten years ago was He Ze, what if it was a person you didn't know at all? Would you still have such a deep sense of guilt? Every decision you make may change others, but isn't this original intention to change yourself?"
Jiu Wentian was silent, and Gu Qi continued: "When you used Damocles, you knew that a person would die, but you still used it, I don't understand what you are thinking now. Could it be that if you save the eldest prince of Fengcheng, you can save the living sacrifice in the future? Wentian, what you have to do is not to change this world, but to change yourself in the previous life, no matter what kind of education you received in the previous life, you always have to adapt to this world, can you understand?"
Jiu Wentian took a long breath and said, "Then, what should I do?"
"I have to ask yourself, I'm not you, how do you know what you want to do?" Gu Qi said helplessly, "By the way, there is some excitement in the third-order forest these days, and I'm still wondering if I want to see what's going on, just when you came, you can help me take a look." ”
Jiu Wentian nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I also need to calm down." ”
After that, Jiu Wentian got up and flew directly to the third-order forest, but at this time, the third-order forest was as if it had experienced a catastrophe, the trees here were broken, broken, and even the animals were covered with corpses and blood, such a scene almost made Jiu Wentian vomit, it was simply disgusting, and now Jiu Wentian began to wonder if someone here did it on purpose.
Jiu Wentian's feet are slimy, almost all of this situation on this mountain is like this, Jiu Wentian can't stand it, he remembers that this was originally the territory of the Thunder Patriarch, could it be that someone killed it?
At this time, Jiu Wentian also recalled the situation when he was here last time, when Lei Hu told him about a cup made of ore and the snake clan, and now it seems that the matter has fermented. At this time, a bird came down from a few trees that had not yet fallen, and with it all kinds of birds fell to the ground and began to eat the carcasses that had not yet decomposed.
A bird landed on Jiu Wentian's shoulder, and Jiu Wentian was so frightened that he retreated and fluttered his hands, but the bird said, "My lord, it's me, Shouki." ”
"Shoumu?" Jiu Wentian thought for a while, and found that this Shoumu seemed to be the woodpecker who treated Guqi ten years ago, so he took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the bird, and said: "Scared me to death, I thought it was an eagle coming to eat me, why are you here?"
Shouki sighed and said, "Alas...... The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond. The war between the Tiger Clan and the Snake Clan has been going on for decades, and in recent years it has been fought extremely fiercely, and then other animals joined in to speed up the resolution of this war, but once they got in, they couldn't get out, so you can also see that these corpses on the ground are the result of a great war. We birds that live with the trees have no choice but to find some trees that are still standing to live, after all, there is no way to survive. ”
Jiu Wentian was also quite sorry when he heard this, and then asked, "Where are they now?"
"It was also a venue that had just been played for a few days, and then they had to retire to other mountains, so I think they should be recovering and doing it again. Shouki shook his head and said that he couldn't do anything, "By the way, my lord, what are you doing here?"
Jiu Wentian took a breath of the air full of blood, almost vomited, retched for a while, and then said: "I came here to see what went wrong with the third-order forest, it turned out to be these things, I wondered if I could solve it." ”
Shou Mu saw Jiu Wentian like this, so he also said: "My lord, let's go over there, the air over there is better." Let me tell you more, what do you think?"
Jiu Wentian immediately agreed, and then found a slightly better mountain, Jiu Wentian said: "You didn't bring me here just to breathe fresh air, I see that there are blood stains on the mountains around here, only here is not, what's going on?"
Shou Mu said: "Your Excellency guessed right, this is the place where there are ores, and the Tiger Clan and the Snake Clan are also fighting for these things. The Tiger Clan said that these things can make everyone's life better, and the Snake Clan said that digging out these things would hollow out the mountain, and neither side gave in, so it was a pity that such a tragedy occurred. ”
Jiu Wentian nodded, indicating that he agreed with Shou Mu's statement, "Yes, after all, they are all for everyone's good, but in the opposite direction." Do you think there's a better way to fix it?"
Shou Mu shook his head and said, "No, they can't listen to any solution at all, they just want to solve the enemy, insist that they are right, otherwise they won't last for decades." ”
Jiu Wentian said: "You take me to see those ores, maybe there will be some discoveries." ”
According to Shoumu, these ores were first found halfway up the mountainside, when there was a strange cave here, and a tiger found it while wandering here, and thought there would be some food in it, but he didn't expect that there was nothing, only a small lake, and the water in it was particularly delicious, and he was going to bring some water back.
Unexpectedly, he found that there were different stones everywhere, completely different from those stones outside, so he brought some stones back, but he didn't expect that the water soaked in the stones would become very delicious, and it would be even better if it was made into a cup.
Jiu Wentian came to this cave and found that there was indeed a small lake as Shou Mu said, and the water there was also very clear. Jiu Wentian said: "The water here should not be simple, let's look to see if there are some clues, maybe we can find anything." ”
Shouki said: "I listen to the adults, and I believe that the adults will be able to solve this matter." ”
