Chapter IV, Section 4
The stone walls, which are more than 20 feet high, have been carved into a huge map with a delicate but extensive technique, and the mountains, waters, and winding roads in between, as well as the scattered towns and villages, are clearly depicted.
But this is a map that does not belong to the world, and in the known Great Xia Kingdom, there is no mountain and water that can correspond to it.
Black Mountain stood under the stone wall, looking up, in front of this tall stone wall, he was as small as an ant.
A loud inhalation came from behind, and an irrepressible exclamation, and a completely incoherent broken word because of the exclamation.
"This is, this style...... Also, that's ...... That's even more ...... than the previous ruins."
"Prince Wang."
Trying to pull the corners of his mouth into a smile, Heishan Xiu turned around and saw Wang Fuzhi, who had an exclamation on his face, his eyes seemed to be firmly absorbed by the stone wall, and he didn't have time to respond to his greeting, and he also saw Wang Zhenzhi, who was full of vigilance and was full of hostility towards himself.
"This is the remnants of Chiyou."
Like Wang Fuzhi, he didn't seem to be willing to take his eyes off the stone wall for a moment, just said hello briefly, and the Black Mountain Show turned around again.
“…… The real one, carved by Chi You himself, relics. ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the myths and legends about the Na people, the Three Holy Kings occupy an important position, King Meng, King Zhu, King Yi, who were active in different eras, have left countless legends, it is said that they can fly back to Nadi from the imperial capital overnight with a straw sandal, it is said that they can come back from the dead again and again, it is said that they have defeated countless Xia famous generals, and teased many emperors with wisdom.
However, the three of them together can't compare to Chi You's status.
Legend has it that he is the ancestor of the Na people, the leader of the demigods who were active before the "First Warring States", and the legends related to him are endless, not only in Nadi, but also in the ancient documents of the Xia people, which are also full of a lot of related content.
…… But.
It seems that scholars who are a little more serious now will tacitly study the stories of the "Three Emperors of the Ancestors and the Five Emperors of Zong" as myths rather than historical materials, and everything about Chiyou is also studied in the field of "mythology".
And now, Montenegro Xiu is telling the Wang brothers with a very serious attitude that this is the last place where Chi You stayed, and these huge stone carvings, these ancient facilities and sculptures, were all completed under his command.
"Chi You has really existed, he is the ancestral god of our people, but he has also really existed among us, he is a god who lives in the world."
"I heard that the Xia people had an era of 'people and gods living together', and it wasn't until after the major event of 'Peerless Heaven and Earth' that they were able to distinguish the different paths of people and gods.
I am very sure of my own judgment, because all this is not Montenegro's imagination, but the record found in the trial cave.
"Those ruins, some people only see the martial arts and techniques recorded in them, but they don't know that these records are the most precious things."
The Trial Cave seems to have a special status, and it has not always been closed by mountains in history, and the era of the Three Holy Kings is hundreds or even thousands of years apart from each other, but they have all left buildings and records in it, from above, the Black Mountain Show restored the long-lost mastery of Meng Mi's Seven Ghost Arts, and also interpreted the things they wanted future generations to remember.
Crossing the Wuxi River, sacrificing Chiyou!
"How many years have we been preparing for this day?"
He muttered, as if he was talking to the Wang brothers, and seemed to just want to tell some of the things that were sitting in his chest - and didn't care if there was an audience.
"So, I picked the ...... of this lunar eclipse"
In fact, he has neither a bad feeling nor a good impression of Montenegrin Xiu, but he is dissatisfied with Wang Fuzhi's persistence in going deep here, and Wang Zhenzhi also has some hatred for him, and he can't help but say such harsh words, but only halfway through speaking, he suddenly stopped, and showed an incredible look.
"You...... No, you guys, you did it on purpose?! ”
With a weird smile, Black Mountain still didn't reply, and only whispered: "Prince Wang." ”
“…… Although I am a person from the frontier, I also know the setting of the Qin Heavenly Prison! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Eleven times, it's good...... Ghost stepping on the river, I want to see, can you kill me eleven more times? ”
The weird dialogue comes from the mouth of the zombie general "Ghost Master", although he has been mentally prepared before, but when he finally has been famous for this old monster that has been famous for more than three hundred years, Ghost Tajiang still has a strong sense of powerlessness.
As long as there is still a corpse around...... The ghost master is equivalent to an immortal body.
Although it is said that limited by the quality of these corpse soldiers, the ghost master cannot exert all the martial arts or spells that he is rumored to be good at, but no matter how many times you knock him down, he will immediately possess another corpse soldier, and the energetic killer will come back, so that the seemingly endless cycle is enough to wear down no matter how strong the will is.
…… And, what's worse is that there are too many reasons why Ghost Tadao River can't fight here for a long time.
Just now, he killed the heir of the Huolin Cave, and successively repelled Anu who was good at Gu arts, the Jade Buddha who was known as "turning decay into magic", and there was also Mo Qiqi and the head of the Seven Strands in the middle, and the "Maple Tree" fought in the sky: although it was said that in his heart, except for Cangshan Shiwu, who had been lurking on the side of the Black Mountain Company and had not been seen for at least fifteen years, these people were not worthy of being regarded as real opponents. But there are many people on the other side, each with a strange killing, if one is not careful, the sheep's hoof prints are broken, it is really a joke.
(It's a big deal, but, what the hell is this old thing thinking?!) )
For the current situation, in fact, Ghost Tajiang has long been mentally prepared, or rather, this is originally part of his plan: to use his body as bait to attract those who are still determined to kill him at this time, and clean them all at once. But he also had a serious miscalculation: not to mention that the three major leaders of the Seven Shares were all chased in, and even brought the most elite swordsmen in the clan, a total of eighty or ninety people, to form a team to search in the cave, not to mention causing some trouble to the Ghost Tajiang River, and even causing a lot of damage to the people he had laid down in advance.
Seven shares of Na is enough, after all, they have always been famous for their mercenary clans, and it would not be surprising if the black and white Zhuna made up their minds to pay a large price. What Ghost Tadao really can't figure out is why the Buna clan is so involved.
The seven great masters were all here, and the other three young people who had cultivated to be on par with the Moshi, divided into six paths, carrying about 1670 corpse soldiers, and Buna was the one who invested the most in this pursuit, and the weight of the investment was even big enough to make the plan of the ghost treading river all overturned!
(But it doesn't make sense at all...... What exactly did he want to do? )
Not to mention that if these ten Moshi-level leaders are killed in battle, how big the blow to the Buna clan will be, although these corpse soldiers, although they are used as consumables by the ghost master without care, they are actually the most valuable capital of the Buna clan, from the perspective of the ghost stepping river, the lowest of them has also been refined for about ten years, and about thirty percent have been refined for more than 20 years. If all of them are lost here, then even if all the Masters are unharmed, it will take at least ten years for the Buna to recover.
(What the hell do they know with such determination?!) )
After fighting for a while, Ghost Tajiang became more and more anxious, but he was helpless - the corpse soldiers were scattered into a circle, no matter which direction he wanted to break through, the ghost master would block the front faster than him.
(Do you want to use that?) But...... )
He hesitated, but he heard the sound of footsteps, extremely fast and very light, and almost at the same time that the ghost stepped on the river and heard this sound, the other party had already crashed into the battle group.
"King of the Great Clan, remember to owe me a favor!"
The person who came was extremely fast and ruthless, the long stick was squeezed, each time it was straight to the center of the eyebrows, from the back of the head, and in the blink of an eye, four corpse soldiers had been destroyed in a row, and the two Mo divisions who swept the formation were in an uproar, and when they hurriedly drove the corpse soldiers to besiege, but where was the opponent?
Seeing the unexpected reinforcements, Ghost Tajiang didn't like it or relax, instead, his eyes widened, and his anger was so intense that the corpse soldiers would notice it.
“…… Shadowless Gun! Hello guts! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although the trial cave is large, the road is not complicated, and not long after the Wang brothers, Xiao Wenshuang and Ao Xingxing and his party also came to the stone wall one after another.
As unexpected, Ao Xingxing actually picked up an acquaintance of the Wang brothers on the road, the slightly dull guide to Naren, Ali.
"Uh, you're saying that we haven't paid off yet......
Seeing that the other party was very serious and said, "The front is the front, the trial cave is inside, and the price is different", Wang Zhenzhi, who was rarely embarrassed, couldn't speak for a while, and in the end, Ao happily smiled and paid to settle this vicious wage arrears incident.
"No, no...... Seriously, you don't have to pay it back. ”
Looking at Ao Xingxing, who was smiling and smiling, saying that "it was worth it to see Wang Seventeen's expression just now", Wang Zhenzhi even rolled his eyes, but he was helpless - as for Wang Fuzhi, he was now digging out a large white paper from his baggage, grabbing the charcoal strip and concentrating on copying the stone wall in front of him, where is there time to care about such "mundane affairs"?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Here's the ......, though.) Writing? )
Xiao Wenshuang, who had been contemplating the stone wall, frowned slightly, because he found that he actually recognized the figure engraved on the edge of the stone wall, which was like a bird walking insect crawling, and the line of graphics decorated on the edge of the map in an extremely exaggerated way was actually a kind of text that no one had used since ancient times.
(If that's the case...... )
Moving her gaze to the stone wall, looking at the compositions that were decorated between the village and the landscape, Xiao Wenshuang tried to mobilize the memories from Zhang Nanjian, and identify these words that had been unused for many years.
(Tomb Mountain, Taijiang River, Weng River...... It's all weird names...... Well, this is?! )
Suddenly, Xiao Wenshuang was stunned, because Xiao Wenshuang found that on this map, it actually seemed to mark a tortuous route, and the place names he identified were mountains, rivers, and villages, and along them all the way, the last sign could not be called a place name at all.
(…… The hometown of the ancestors! What does that mean? )
Stunned by his discovery, Xiao Wenshuang suddenly heard the sound of chaotic and hurried footsteps, and at this time, Heishan Xiu finally ended his gaze at the stone wall and turned around, with a look of concern on his face.
Behind him, there was Anu who was surrounded by Gu worms, Elder Shi with a withered expression, the inheritance of the peach blossom forest with a longevity gourd, the jade Buddha whose complexion was constantly changing and seemed to be going crazy at any time, the ghost master, the Mo master, and the group of corpse soldiers whose number had been reduced by more than half - but there was no ghost treading stream, Jiang Yang, the only remaining great sacrifice of the Lunatic Cult, there was a shadowless gun that wrapped himself tightly in black, only two eyes were exposed, and a long stick was carried upside down, and there were seven strands of Na in a row...... With different expressions and different goals, they gradually poured in, and were shocked by the stone wall just like the people who came before.
"Great Clan King, no matter what you are planning, until now, it is destined to be impossible."
The first to speak was the ghost master, who was parasiting on the corpse soldier who didn't know how many corpses it was, and he said in a dry and unpleasant voice.
"I want to ambush in the cave outside and kill everyone who pursues me...... A good plan, but it can only trap the den of the wild deer, and it is a waste when it encounters a tiger. ”
"Really?"
Before Ghost Tajiang replied in such a sarcastic and happy tone, Xiao Wenshuang had already sensed that something was wrong.
When the ghost stepped into this place, he and Heishan Xiu exchanged glances very quickly, and in the eyes of Xiao Wenshuang, who captured that scene, the two of them showed more relief than fear or anger.
Standing still, Ghost Tajiang actually seemed to be at ease, took out a large handkerchief from his arms, and slowly wiped the blood on his face.
"I'll admit it, I didn't expect you old thing to go crazy like this, after today's incident, no matter what happens to me, the Buna clan is finished."
"I didn't expect that you Qigu Na would have become the lackeys of the Nine Dao Military Horses a long time ago."
“…… Not a lackey. ”
When the other Zhuna were shocked by Ghost Tajiang's words, the Shadowless Spear said calmly: "It's a comrade-in-arms." ”
"Under the command of the general, there are only people, no dogs."
“…… Really? ”
Looking at Changkong, who was a little shrunken at first, but now straightened his waist because of the Shadowless Gun's words, Ghost Tadao Jiang smiled sarcastically, but turned his gaze to the others.
"What about you?"
"What are you going to do now, now that you know about it?"
“…… We're going to kill you, that's the only thing to do now. ”
The ghost master's cold answer was exchanged for a loud laugh from the ghost stepping river: "Good, good, good!" ”
"As long as you don't let Baina return to one, even if you join forces with the Nine Dao Military Horses, it's worth it, right!"
"But why don't you ask this Lord first, and ask Lord Shadowless Gun what they are here for?"
"It's useless to do whatever you want."
took over the conversation, it was actually Ao Xingxing, with an angry face, staring at Ao Xingxing with a shadowless gun.
"I'm finally starting to feel that this time it's not for nothing, and I'm finally starting to rejoice that this time I'm here...... The Great General King, what a ruthless heart! ”
"General Ao, you?"
Ao Xing's unexpected statement made the shadowless gun stunned, and also made all of them nervous, but at this time, Black Mountain Xiu sneered and reached into his arms.
"Treading the river, don't waste any more time, I can feel it."
Raising his head slightly, squinting his eyes, although the mountain above was indescribably thick, Heishan Xiu seemed to see the moon that was cut off from it.
“…… It's the middle of the day. ”
As he spoke, Heishan Xiu's hand was taken out of his arms: he immediately saw the golden light blooming, which almost made everyone squint for a while, and they could only vaguely see that the golden light seemed to come from Heishan Xiu's palm, and it was something like a few shriveled insects.
(Sure enough!) )
No one knew how frightened Xiao Wenshuang was at the moment!
(The judgment of the real person is right, the Lunatic Cult has indeed found this thing, a treasure that can forcibly increase its power by one level.) )
(Golden Silkworm King!) )
