Chapter Fifty-Eight: Ancient Secrets

"Boy, I really don't know if you're lucky or unlucky," the boy continued, "Everyone who comes here has a stunt, and you, even you, dare to come in at all, if I hadn't made a timely move just now, you would have made Gu Diao's belly meal." ”

"What did you say, Xiaoyou, I'm not dead? What is the 500-year-old man in the world? What lucky ones? Can you elaborate on that? Xiao Yu's focus is obviously different from that of the child.

"Don't you say it, don't call me Xiaoyou!" The boy was slightly angry.

Xiao Yu was stunned, he was too anxious to notice the mistake in his words, "Junior Xiao Yu, please forgive Xianbei for being anxious." By the way, I haven't asked my predecessors for honorific titles. ”

"Well, that's not bad," the boy shook his head as he rode on the ox, "Well, I also annoy those vulgar rites, so you can call me Qingniu Daoren." ”

Qingniu Dao people? It sounds like he's the same generation as the Qinghua Daoist.

"Yes, Qing, Qingniu Daoist, please also ask Qingniu Daoist to solve your doubts." Xiao Yu knelt respectfully to the ground.

"You kid is quite polite," Qingniu Daoren looked at Xiao Yu with satisfaction, "Get up, alas, it seems that you don't know anything, forget it, anyway, you have to know sooner or later, I'll tell you first." ”

Xiao Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly got up.

"Don't be too happy too soon, young people must not suffer from the bad habit of getting something for nothing, so take my cow over there to graze, and then find a clean place for me to sit down and rest, alas, that's all you can do at the moment." After the Qingniu Daoist finished speaking, he jumped off the big green cow.

"Yes, yes, the juniors will do it immediately." Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to pull the rope tied to the cow's nose.

"Hey! Hi! Hi! Xiao Yu even used the strength to eat, but the big green cow still didn't move, looking at Xiao Yu with big eyes and mocking.

"Senior, this?" Xiao Yu tried a few times but couldn't pull it, so he could only helplessly look at the Qingniu Taoist who was standing aside and watching the joke.

"Alas, forget it, forget it, you just go find a clean place, I originally wanted to test your Taoism, but I didn't expect you to even be able to pull my green cow. Alas, I really don't know how you got in. The Qingniu Daoist gently touched the cow's buttocks, and the Qingniu walked to the side.

Xiao Yu hurriedly found a slightly cleaner big stone, took off his clothes, wiped the big stone inside and out, up and down, and finally puffed up his cheeks and blew it several times before respectfully saying to Qingniu, "Senior, do you think this is okay?" No, I'll look for it again. ”

Qingniu Daoist looked at Xiao Yu, who was sweating profusely, and pouted, "That's it, it's okay, forget it, that's it." After speaking, the Qingniu Daoist sat cross-legged on the boulder with a big grin, while Xiao Yu stood respectfully aside.

"Okay, Qingniu Daoist, I admit your feelings, I will answer your questions now, we just owe each other, I will answer your first question first, the question of whether you are dead or not."

Xiao Yu hurriedly pricked up his ears on the side.

"You stupid boy, don't you know if you're dead or not? Didn't you feel the pain in your body when you were thrown to the ground by the Gu Eagle just now? You just left this world by chance and came to this place. ”

Xiao Yu was in danger just now, how could he still have the time to think about this, hearing the words of the Qingniu Daoist, Xiao Yu hurriedly pinched his thigh.

"Oops!" A bruise appeared on Xiao Yu's thigh.

It hurts, it hurts! I'm not dead, haha, I'm really not dead!

Xiao Yu jumped up all of a sudden, great, he didn't die, the master, Han Liyan, and Qinghua Daoren still had a chance to meet. Haha, just now I thought I was in the underworld, but now it's good, haha.

"Alright, alright, look at your little bit of interest." Qingniu Daoist impatiently stopped Xiao Yu.

"And what about the second question?" After making sure that he was not dead, Xiao Yu was in a good mood and his demeanor became much calmer.

"The second question is a long story." The Qingniu Taoist looked at the big green cow grazing leisurely in the distance.

"This place is called the Great Wilderness, and it was established by the Xuanyuan clan in ancient times." Speaking of this, the Qingniu Daoist seemed to be stuck in a distant memory.

Regulus? By the way, just now the Qingniu Daoist asked me if I was sent by the Xuanyuan Clan, is this still related to the Xuanyuan Clan?

"Have you ever heard of the 'Nuwa Divine Map' above?" Qingniu Daoist then asked.

Xiao Yu's whole body trembled, "I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it." ”

"Well," Qingniu Daoren nodded, "The Xuanyuan Clan relied on the Divine Diagram to discover the weakness of the Divine Beasts, and joined forces with the Shennong Clan to kill almost all the Divine Beasts in the human world, just when the Divine Beasts were almost slaughtered, things took a turn for the better. ”

Xiao Yu listened intently, for fear of missing something.

"Chi You, the chief of the Jiuli tribe, suddenly sent troops when the attention of the Xuanyuan clan and the Shennong clan was on the divine beast, and the Shennong clan was caught off guard and was defeated. Later, the Xuanyuan clan and the Shennong clan united again and fought a big battle with Chiyou in the deer. The Qingniu Daoist suddenly stood upright, his fists clenched.

"It was a big battle, and almost all the great powers were gone. That war was really fought to cover the sky and the sun, flying sand and rocks, and the two sides came and went. Just when the two sides were stalemate, Chi You suddenly cast a formation, and the battlefield was suddenly filled with fog, and the Xuanyuan clan and the Shennong clan were in the formation and couldn't see anything clearly, and they were killed by the bow and arrow invented by Chi You and suffered heavy losses. The Xuanyuan clan was about to lose the war, and at this time, someone made a suggestion to the Xuanyuan clan. The voices of the Qingniu Daoist began to tremble a little.

"This suggestion is to let the divine beasts that have been killed almost extinct at that time come to help in the war, and the condition offered by the Xuanyuan clan is that after winning this war, the Xuanyuan clan will give the remaining divine beasts a living space."

Is there such a secret? Xiao Yu listened with great interest, and saw that the Qingniu Daoist seemed to be tired, so he hurriedly stepped forward to beat the legs of the Qingniu Daoist Xiaoli who was sitting cross-legged.

Qingniu Daoren smiled slightly, glanced at Xiao Yu with satisfaction, and continued to speak.

The desperate beasts discussed it and finally decided to believe that the Xuanyuan clan would fight against Chiyou together. As soon as the divine beasts joined, the situation on the battlefield was immediately reversed, and the Xuanyuan clan took bears, wolves, leopards, crabs, and tigers as the forerunners, eagles, cranes, eagles, and kites as banners, and finally walked out of the fog under the guidance of many flying divine beasts and guide cars. ”

"Then, the divine beast in the East China Sea sacrificed voluntarily, and made 80 fur drums with his own skin plus drumsticks made of the bones of the thunder god, and the army commanded by the Xuanyuan clan was greatly invigorated, and at the same time, the Xuanyuan clan ordered the divine beast Ying Long to attack Jizhou, and Ying Long finally defeated the Feng Boyu division invited by Chi You with the help of the female man, and made great contributions to the victory of the Xuanyuan clan and the Shennong clan in the war."

"But," Qingniu Daoren's words changed, "after the victory of the war, the Xuanyuan clan fulfilled its promise to find a place to house the divine beasts, and tried their best to allow humans and divine beasts to coexist peacefully. ”

"However, when the heavens and the earth collapsed and Nuwa Niangniang was killed by the divine beasts, and after the victory of the war, some evil divine beasts did do a lot of angry things, resulting in too much opposition, and the Xuanyuan clan had no choice, so in the end they could only place the divine beasts in this place."

I see, Xiao Yu suddenly realized, no wonder I have never seen any of the divine beasts here before, and they are all ancient divine beasts after a long time, so I just had a face-to-face with a divine beast from the ancient period?

Thinking of the divine beast that he mistook for a skyscraper just now, Xiao Yu couldn't help but shudder, it was a divine beast that had participated in the battle of chasing deer in ancient times, fortunately it didn't have the same knowledge as himself, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died.

"Alas, the Xuanyuan clan is also benevolent and righteous in this matter," the Qingniu Daoist quite understood the Xuanyuan clan, "I have been here for thousands of years and can be regarded as seeing that the divine beasts are no longer suitable for survival in the human world, and staying here may be the best ending, at least I can achieve peaceful coexistence with the humans above." ”

"But senior," Xiao Yu asked timidly, "then why did I and the people before me come here?" ”

Qingniu Daoist glanced at Xiao seriously, suddenly stood up, stood on the big stone with his hands behind his back, and looked at the scenery in the distance without saying a word.

Xiao Yu didn't dare to say much, and looked into the distance with the Qingniu Daoist.

In the distance, a large bird in the shape of a chicken swept through the sky, and a human-faced leopard body, a sacred beast with a bull's ears and its long tail running quickly in front of it.

"That's Chongming Bird and Zhu Qian," Qingniu Daoren said, "These two divine beasts have also made great contributions in the battle against the deer." ”

Xiao Yu looked at the two divine beasts in the distance and felt something.

"There are also a large number of people like me who want to find a place to cultivate and live in seclusion with the divine beasts, and of course it is also to monitor the divine beasts here." Qingniu Daoist suddenly spoke.

Xiao Yu was stunned.

"But, after all, this is not a long-term solution." Qingniu Daoist suddenly turned his head, "The Xuanyuan Clan promised that the Divine Beasts would find a perfect way to properly place them, instead of staying in the Great Wilderness like a prison. Alas, this is thousands of years. ”

"So now the burden falls on your shoulders."

What? Why is it that confusion has become my thing? Xiao Yu looked at Qingniu Daoist suspiciously.

"The Xuanyuan clan didn't come up with any good way until he died, so he set a rule, every five hundred years, the Xuanyuan clan and the descendants of the human race will find a way to send the next person to come to the Great Wilderness to actually take a look and see if they can come up with any good way. What Xuanyuan could do before he died was to make the environment here a little better, but he still did a very good job of this. Qingniu Daoist said solemnly.

"Whether you mean it or not, it's been almost five hundred years since Wang Mang came in. The formation that enveloped the Great Wilderness was set up by the Xuanyuan clan himself, and only one person could enter and leave in five hundred years. In other words, from today onwards, no one will come in for the next five hundred years, so," the Qingniu Daoist paused, "the responsibility of finding a future and a way out for the divine beasts falls on your shoulders." ”

After listening, Xiao Yu only felt that his shoulders were extremely heavy, and such a difficult task fell on his shoulders like this?

Xiao Yu lowered his head, but his heart was turning over the river and the sea, my task? My mission? It's mine? ...

Qingniu Daoren looked at Xiao Yu expressionlessly.

For a while, countless thoughts popped up in Xiao Yu's heart, thinking about this for a while, thinking about that for a while, thinking of the earnest teaching of the palace master of the Sheyu faction Liu to him, and thinking of the kind gaze of the master Ferris layman for a while...

After a long time, Xiao Yu finally came back to his senses.

"Okay, I, Xiao Yu, will definitely do my best to come up with a perfect plan for the divine beasts in my lifetime!" Xiao Yu looked at Qingniu Daoist firmly.

Qingniu Daoren smiled slightly, "Okay, yes, I hope what you said can come true." ”

"But," Xiao Yu still had a question in his heart, "Then why do you say that I am the lucky one?" ”

"Haha, you can first look at the great achievements of several of your big men who came here before you."

"Who are they?"

"The first one is, of course, the Xuanyuan clan, followed by Xia Yu who controls the water, then Yi Yin who assisted the Shang Dynasty, then Jiang Ziya who has been Xingzhou for eight hundred years, and then a generation of master Li Er, the first one you are Wang Mang, and the last one is you."

"Xuanyuan, Xia Yu, Yi Yin, Jiang Ziya..."Xiao Yu unconsciously read it out of his mouth, these are all well-known big names, I really didn't expect that I, Xiao Yu, could also have a day alongside them.

If they could come up with a perfect method, wouldn't their reputation be even more prominent than theirs? Xiao Yu couldn't help but get excited.

"These people seem to be quite famous among you," Qingniu Daoren looked at Xiao Yu with a grin, "Except for the Xuanyuan Clan, several other skills have been learned here, and now it's your turn to be the lucky one, maybe your cultivation will be better than them in the future." ”

"Really?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up.

"Well, I have this hunch," Qingniu Daodaodao, "these people are more or less burdened by the world, like Jiang Ziya, who has to assist Da Zhou and think about the law of perfection, and their mental heads are scattered. And you are different, now you are just starting out, there are not so many worldly things, it should be easier than them. ”

Xiao Yu's heart was suddenly full of pride, I can do it, I will definitely be able to! I'll definitely come up with a foolproof solution! Xiao Yu cheered himself up in his heart.

"However, there is another thing to tell you, coming here does not mean that you can sit back and relax, just like just now, you may be eaten by fierce beasts at any time, and there are many people here, and the divine beasts don't know that you came in to find a way for them."

Is there anyone else here? Xiao Yu was stunned, didn't he say that there were only divine beasts and a large group of people like the Qingniu Dao people who came in to monitor the power of the divine beasts?

"You also call them cultivators, and they are all descendants of great powers who came in like me, such as the Lady Country." Qingniu Daoist pointed at it casually.

"Lady Country"? Xiao Yu looked in the direction pointed by the Qingniu Daoist.
