Hundreds of miles of wasteland, high mountains and long roads.

Somehow, it suddenly started to rain in the sky.

The sky was dark, Nuwa's old land was close in front of them, and Tian Nuoning and Tie Mian, who had been traveling for a day, found a cave, ready to take a rest, and then explore it early tomorrow morning.

The beating flames faintly appeared in Tian Nuoning's cold eyes, and he didn't see the deep heart. Knowing that Tian Nuoning was in a bad mood, Tie Mian didn't bother, and stood alone at the entrance of the cave, looking at the light rain outside the cave.

The sound of the rain was soft, and it was a little hazy after listening to it for a long time, and suddenly outside the cave, a girl rushed over.

The light clothes are orange and white, wet by the rain, and the charm is indescribable.

Where did the girl come from in this barren mountain and wilderness?

It is definitely not a good type, Tie Mian stared at her silently, secretly guarded, but he was not very panicked, with his and Tian Nuoning's current cultivation, the ordinary barren mountain demon could not be Naihe.

............

"But did you disturb the tryst between Childe and Miss?" the woman smiled and flashed into the hole, sweeping the raindrops from her light clothes.

"No, you're thinking too much......" Tian Nuo didn't raise his head.

"My name is Bi Wan, and I ......live around here," the woman smiled, "Today is my husband's sacrifice day, I am here to offer incense, I don't want to meet this ghost weather......"

"I'm here to take shelter from the rain, and when the rain stops, I'll leave, and I won't disturb Miss Childe. ”

............

Late at night, the rain gradually stopped, Bi Wan poked her head out to take a look, turned around and said, "The rain has stopped, Bi Wan will leave ......"

Tie Mian and Tian Nuo Ning didn't stay, Bi Wan walked out of the cave gently, suddenly turned around and whispered to Tie Mian: "Your young lady is cold and kind-hearted, she is still so stunning, the son is blessed, don't let her down." ”

The iron face was a little stunned when he said this, and when he looked at it again, Bi Wan had turned into an orange point of light in the distance, and gradually disappeared.

"What do you see?" Inside the cave, Tian Nuoning's voice sounded coldly, "It's just a fox spirit......

"It's a mire valley not far away, and it doesn't seem like a good youkai. ”

............

The sky was dark, and Tian Nuoning and Tie Mian rushed to Nuwa's old place.

There is no one here, only the stone tablet at the entrance has a remnant of the word "媧". Walking inward, it is a dilapidated scene again, the dilapidated houses are ruined, and the stone pillar statues that are crooked leave traces of knives and axes.

"This used to be a place where the Nuwa people lived, and it was also a place of pilgrimage for believers from all walks of life, but due to a rebellion more than 20 years ago, the Nuwa people died, and the tribe died, scattered, and this place was deserted. Tian Nuoning explained.

"Rebellion?" Iron Mask asked.

"Hmm. Tian Nuoning carefully probed the surroundings, "Twenty years ago, in order to relieve the great drought in Middle-earth, Xinyue'er sacrificed nine out of forty tribesmen, and finally prayed for Ganlin to save the common people from danger, but did not want to stir up public anger among the Nuwa clan, and the parents and clans who lost their relatives united to rebel and break the Nuwa Temple. ”

"At the moment of crisis, Xinyue'er sent five cronies to send five Nuwa's suicide notes to the five factions in Middle-earth and independently resisted the invading enemy. ”

"According to the magic provided by the five Nuwa testaments, the heads of the five factions in Middle-earth opened the Nuwa secret room, took out the five forbidden weapons that were sealed, and according to the entrustment of Xinyue'er, each faction brought back a piece to guard each other, and agreed with each other that they would never open the seal without authorization to prevent Chiyou from being reborn. ”

"Oh, so all the rumors in the market are true?" Iron Mask asked.

"Hmm. Tian Nuoning nodded.

"And what are we doing here?" Iron Mask asked again.

"After the five forbidden weapons and five seals are opened together, Chi You will be reborn, if you are not mistaken, the forbidden weapon Gu Chengfeng sealed by the Immortal Yuan Pavilion will not open it even if he is desperate, and the other factions should have already calculated this, so the power of Chi You obtained after opening the forbidden weapon has become the most relied on power. ”

"To break the seal, we need fresh blood of the Nuwa people, and now that the five factions of Middle-earth are not allowed to be defeated by fire and water, if we find the lost descendants of Nuwa first, we can take the lead. ”

Tie Mian nodded, "The Nuwa people are scattered all over the place, if you really want to find it, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so this is the only place where you can find clues." ”

Tian Nuo stared at him and handed it over, "This place must have been secretly visited by other factions many times, but they have found nothing, we have to look carefully." ”

Tie Mian nodded, and followed Tian Nuoning to rummage through the ruins.

............

The two looked at it for a long time, but they didn't find any valuable clues, and what they found was just some ordinary objects such as pottery and clay pots. Tian Nuo wiped the fragrant sweat on his forehead, "It seems that there are no clues here, let's go, go to the Nuwa Temple and have a look." ”

Continuing along the path, we entered an open field, the stone bricks on the ground were incomplete, the abandoned altar in the square, and the remains arranged according to the formation, which could roughly be seen that this was the place where the Nuwa people used to pray to the gods.

The two of them walked through the square one foot deep and one foot shallow, and arrived at the Nuwa Temple.

The temple has long since lost its former glory, crumbling in many places, covered with moss and vines.

It was easy to enter the main hall, the statue of Nuwa in the middle of the hall was cut off the head and neck and half of the body, leaving only the stump and broken arm, the original seat of the crescent moon in front of the statue was even more chopped to pieces, and a few blood-stained stool legs told the tragedy of the time.

On the ground around the main hall, there are many broken stones, and each stone seems to be engraved with some vague words, and Tie Mian is wondering, so he listened to Tian Nuoning explain, "Around this hall, there were originally stone slabs engraved with the names of the clansmen of the past dynasties, but in order to prevent others from looking for the scattered clansmen according to the records of the stone tablets, Xinyue'er had destroyed all the stone slabs before she died. ”

Tie Mian picked up a few stones, looked at them carefully, and wanted to fight them, but found it difficult.

Even if he spelled it out, it would be useless, and presumably the fugitive would not use his original name. Tian Nuoning said with some disdain.

Tie Mian was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, if it was useful to spell these stones, I am afraid that the people from other factions who came to investigate would have already done so.

Tie Mian stood up, patted the floating ash on his hands, and fell into deep thought with Tian Nuoning.

Tian Nuo stared at these stones, after all, he was sharper than Iron Face, and soon discovered the strangeness of a stone.

"Why is there a scratch on the corner of this stone?" Tian Nuoning said word by word.

Iron Mask turned around and picked up the piece of rubble, and sure enough, he found that there were scratches on the corner of the stone, and the words engraved on it were even more blurry and completely unrecognizable.

"It's obviously a trace of human scratching, and it's likely that someone deliberately erased the name before the slate was broken, well, it should be Xinyue'er, why erase this name?" Tian Nuoning muttered to himself.

Tie Mian was not idle, and quickly looked for other stone chips with smears, and put together the stone chips he found.

A name appears faintly, but it is completely unclear, and I can only vaguely recognize that this person has a "艹" in his surname

"Grass prefix?" Tian Nuo Ning was vaguely in thought, "Xinyue'er insists on erasing this name and then breaking the slate, it is possible that this person has to use his previous name after fleeing for some reason, this person is different from other clansmen, it is very likely that he is ......"

"An important minister of the Nuwa clan. Tian Nuo pondered for a while and continued, "For the time being, I can only speculate that this person is likely to have experienced the turmoil twenty years ago, and was a key figure in that turmoil. Anyway, I feel ......."

"This person, if he is still alive, must be the key to solving all the mysteries of the Nuwa clan. Tian Nuoning said firmly.

"But with just a cursive prefix, it's still very difficult to find. Tie Mian said, "There are too many people with a cursive prefix in their surnames, not to mention anything else, among the six of us, Ruo Zizhu's surname has a cursive prefix." ”

"That's true. Tian Nuoning said, "This grass prefix alone is far from enough, let's take a look at other clues." ”

The two stood up and walked over to the broken statue.

"Legend has it that this statue of Nuwa held three Nuwa bone relics in its hands, but it was also destroyed by Xinyue'er with the Samadhi True Fire. ”

"Why?" said Iron Mask.

"This Nuwa Divine Bone Relic can sense the divine power of the Nuwa tribe, and when people with Nuwa blood approach, it will emit brilliance, which is the key to finding the Nuwa people, a total of three of them have been passed down to the world, all of which have been destroyed by Xinyue'er. ”

"But there is another rumor about the Nuwa tribe. Tian Nuoning continued, "That is the Nuwa Divine Blood that can make the seeds of the Immortal Grass sprout and grow and bloom in an instant, and after the Divine Bone Relic is destroyed, it is likely that the five factions of Middle-earth are secretly using this method to find the descendants of Nuwa." ”

"Immortal grass?" said the Iron Mask.

"It is a plant that grows with the aura of heaven and earth. Tian Nuoning explained, "The growing conditions are extremely harsh, without the help of divine blood, it will bloom every ten years and bear fruit every ten years, so the seeds are also very rare and rare, and once the seeds are contaminated with the blood of non-gods, they will rot within a quarter of an hour." ”

"In this way, it is probably extremely difficult to find the Nuwa people in the vast sea of people. "No wonder the five factions of Middle-earth haven't found it for so long. ”

"You're not right. Tian Nuoning shook his head, "The head of the sect Zeng Zhe has found it, otherwise the Eight Mourning Qin will not be unsealed." ”

"Is it a coincidence?" Iron Mask said as he stepped forward to look at the remnant.

At this moment, something on Tie Mian's chest faintly lit up.

Tie Mian didn't notice it, but Tian Nuoning also noticed it in an instant.

"You...... What do you have around your neck?" Tian Nuoning asked in surprise.

Only then did Tie Mian notice the strangeness of the necklace, and quickly took it out, only to find that it was the nephrite-like pendant that was faintly glowing.

"This ...... This was given to me by Su Jilan, the granddaughter of the patriarch of the Velvet clan. Iron Mask stammered, "She just said it was an ancestral thing, and she didn't know what it was." ”

"The Velvet Clan has revered the Nuwa God for generations, could it be that this ancestral artifact is the fourth divine bone relic?" Tian Nuoning said in surprise, and stepped forward to pick up the pendant and observe it carefully.

I saw that this pendant was translucent throughout, and it seemed that I really felt the divine power of Nuwa, and it was shining.

"Su ...... Su Jilan!" Tie Mian suddenly stammered, "Could it be that the name erased from the stone tablet is ......?"

Tian Nuoning frowned, "How did she tell you?"

"No, she didn't say anything, just said that she didn't know what it was, only that it occasionally glowed when they worshipped their ancestors at major gatherings. ”

"There is also a statue of Nuwa on the altar outside the Lingshan Cave, could it be that you have sensed the power of the idol?" or ......," Tian Nuoning said with some doubts.

"This chain is inseparable from the Velvet Clan, and the name erased on the stone tablet is secretly in line with Su Jilan, maybe we should go through the Misty Forest again. ”
