Chapter 167: Threats
Qing Huan wiped his eyes, turned his head and asked, "Great Elder, who is it?" ”
"It's the most powerful of us. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Gollum said, his honest facial features with a look of reverence, "He is also the wisest elder in the entire sea market." ”
Qing Huan nodded, thinking that if he met the principal, he would probably be able to ask more clearly. She looked at Yun Xiao uneasily, the young man was still asleep. Qing Huan asked everyone, "My friend, please help me take care of ...... first"
Inside and outside the house, they patted her chest and packed the ticket together, "Don't worry, rest assured!" ”
Out of the gurgling house, Qing Huan saw that many of the buildings around it were all kinds of corals, seashells, and conch shapes. Even if some of them are still regular, they are indispensable for the embellishment of such elements. Roofs, window sills, gates, walls...... Everywhere you look, you can find all kinds of treasures from the sea to decorate.
The air is as clean as flowing water, schools of colorful fish swim in the air, and corals and seaweeds stretch and sway in the air. The sky overhead was as clear and blue as the sea, and the sunlight penetrated the air evenly, shining warmly on the green mountains in the distance, and the fragrance of flowers filled the green grass.
The two guards who had come to take Qing Huan to the Elder's Pavilion were both human - at least they seemed to be. Along the way, Qing Huan saw shrimp soldiers and crab generals of various shapes, mountain spirits and sea monsters. Of course, there are also a lot of people. They looked at her curiously as they busied, and she looked at them curiously, wondering what kind of place it was, how she had never heard of it.
The Pavilion of the Elders is located in the center of the entire sea market. When the sun arrives, it becomes as soft as water. The ice-blue veil hangs down from the pavilion, gently swaying in the breeze. The entire tower is adorned with large pearls that radiate a gentle glow. In front of the building grows a huge coral tree, pearlescent and beautiful.
The guards stopped at the door, and Qing Huan followed the instructions and entered the pavilion alone.
The light in the pavilion suddenly brightened, and the gray-haired old man in a robe stood in the hall, and the old man's deep voice slowly sounded.
"Hello, friend."
Qing Huan looked at the elderly man standing in front of her, she didn't know how old he had lived, she just felt that his face was too old to look good. It's like the roots of an old tree that are buried deep in the ground and then dried. But the old man's eyes were still strong, and his long hair was not white.
Qing Huan asked tentatively, "Great Elder? ”
The old man nodded and said again, "Hello." ”
Qing Huan hurriedly saluted him and paid his respects.
The Great Elder invited her to sit down, and he himself turned to sit at the head of the temple. Qing Huan took the opportunity to look around, this hall is not very big, although the decoration is far less lively and gorgeous than what you see outside, but the placement of a table and a chair is more elegant. According to the reaction of Gollum and the others, as well as the judgment that Qing Huan had just seen with his own eyes, this Great Elder was naturally an awe-inspiring figure.
After the Great Elder sat down, he spoke slowly, as if sighing, "Haishi, no outsiders have come here for more than three thousand years. ”
When Qing Huan heard the words "three thousand years", he felt a little sensitive. It is undeniable that it is because I memorized too much some time ago.
The Great Elder said, "Then how did you and your friends come here?" ”
Qing Huan didn't dare to hide it, so she told the truth about how she and Yun Xiao rested on the island to avoid the rain, encountered a storm, and finally entered the cave.
The Great Elder pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "The island and cave you mentioned are the entrances to the sea market that have long been deserted. ”
"The entrance to the sea market?"
"Haishi, once a prosperous and glorious country, attracts countless merchants here every year, and there are all kinds of rare treasures to exchange." The old man had a look of remembrance in his eyes, and Qing Huan didn't dare to interrupt him. Until he was silent enough, he said: "The gods and demons outside are fighting, is the fight over?" ”
Qing Huan was stunned, he didn't expect them to be so isolated from the outside world, and replied: "The fight is over, it was over three thousand years ago." ”
"And who wins?"
Who wins? This is never mentioned in textbooks. Although the act of sealing the sky is to divide the heaven and the earth into two, the gods and demons are isolated, the ethereal demon lord is also killed by the snow of the sky, and the seven demons will all be ambushed. But is this a victory? At that time, the immortals and gods paid an even greater price. No one seems to think that this can be said to be a victory for the Divine Domain.
Qing Huan said: "I can't say who won, in short, the God Domain has thought of a way to create a barrier to separate the heavens and the earth, and the gods and demons will be separated forever......"
"Eternal separation?" The old man laughed a little presumptuously, with a slight sneer, and then said, "Impossible, once the strength of one side increases slightly, the war will definitely start again, and no matter what barrier it is, it will be broken one day." ”
Qing Huan had no intention of arguing with him about these things that seemed too far away at the moment, so he was silent and did not speak.
The Great Elder said to himself, "More than three thousand years ago, for a long time, the waters of the Chengming Sea were dark and crimson, do you know, why is that? ”
Qing Huan said: "Why? ”
"Blood." The Great Elder looked at her and said word by word, "The blood of gods, the blood of demons, the blood of immortals, the blood of demons, and more, the blood of people. Endless throwing into the sea water, the sea is dyed red......"
Qing Huan took a breath softly, listening to the old and desolate voice in his ears, and the scene appeared in front of him.
“…… Therefore, some people at that time, as well as demons, gathered and fled to Haishi, and gradually merged with the aborigines of Haishi. It was also from that time that the sea market, from a prosperous market open to the outside world, became a completely closed and independent territory. It is the only paradise in the world that is protected from the effects of war......"
Qing Huan said: "Now that the war is over, you don't have to be afraid of being affected anymore, you can go out." ”
"Get out?" The Great Elder looked at her and shook his head slowly, "I said that the war between gods and demons will start again sooner or later. Before the power of gods and demons, the common people were only ants, so what was wrong with being able to be in a corner of peace, why did you have to go out and die? ”
Qing Huan thought, if you don't go out, you won't go out, but I want to go out, so he asked, "Then, how can I leave Haishi?" ”
"Leaving the sea market?" The Great Elder's eyes narrowed slightly, "I also said that the current sea market is already a completely closed realm. Once you get in, you don't want to go out again. ”
"How can it be?" Qing Huan's eyes widened, and he almost got up, "I can't stay here, I'm outside, and there are a lot of people who are concerned!" ”
"If you don't want to stay," the old man's voice was even lower, revealing a hint of gloom, "then let the soul stay here forever." ”
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, and endless murderous aura flew from all directions. (To be continued.) )
