Chapter 327: Mother Earth Goddess
Yang Yi and the three of them followed the great priest into the earth house, only to see that the earth house contained many tortoiseshell fortune-telling objects and star maps of astronomical and geographical mysteries, and there were four soft bedding in the middle of these items, three of which were obviously prepared for the three of them. And these three of the foreshadowing have a little dust, and it is estimated that they have been placed here for a few days.
Yang Yi looked at the deployment in front of him and said with a light smile: "It seems that the seniors have already prepared. ”
"Hehehe, it seems that Shaoxia is really a careful person, please sit down. The High Priest laughed.
"Awards, awards. After Yang Yi bowed slightly, he sat down directly with Wang Ye and the others.
"Senior, can you tell us everything now? Yang Yi asked inexplicably.
The high priest smiled slightly and said, "Then the old man will be blunt. ”
Although Wang Ye and Xiang Haoyu didn't understand the meaning of their words, according to Yang Yi's attitude and look, they could know the importance of this matter.
"As Shaoxia said, the old man has indeed been waiting here for a long time, just to be able to wait for the savior of the descendants of our Mother Earth God. The High Priest said.
"Savior, do you mean the three of us?" Xiang Haoyu said in surprise.
"Of course, why else would the old man be waiting for you here?" the High Priest smiled inexplicably.
"Why are we helping you? Wang Ye said coldly.
"You have no other choice, if you want to get out of this disillusioned desert, you must go through our hands, and this is also your test. The High Priest said flatly.
When Yang Yi heard this, his face froze, and he exclaimed, "Sure enough." ”
The high priest looked at Yang Yi and said with a smile: "It seems that the mammoth giant elephant has told the young man a lot of secrets about the disappointment desert." ”
Yang Yi nodded and replied, "Well, please ask the seniors to get straight to the point." ”
When Wang Ye and Xiang Haoyu saw this, they were shocked, and suddenly realized that what was about to happen to them would not be very simple, and this also verified Xiang Haoyu's guess, that is, Yang Yi had an extremely amazing big secret hidden in his heart.
"Okay, okay, it's better to tell a story to the three young heroes first. The high priest stroked his snow-white beard and smiled.
"Please. Yang Yi gestured.
"Legend ......"
The high priest told a long story, for three hours, but none of the three interrupted or complained, because the story told by the high priest was the origins of the indigenous people, their experiences, and the hidden danger of extermination. According to the High Priest, the indigenous inhabitants here are actually human beings from the continent, not descendants of Mother Earth, and the reason why the natives here call themselves so is also due to the distant past.
In the distant past, in a remote area, there was a small human tribe located in a desolate land. This tribe has not been here for a long time, and there are endless fierce beasts pouring out of the surrounding area. In order to survive the many beasts, the tribesmen had to learn to make equipment for self-defense. But the beasts around are too much
They are too fierce, even if they have weapons in their hands, they can hardly be their opponents.
Just as this human tribe was about to be wiped out by the beasts, a savior with a human body and a snake tail suddenly appeared, took action to drive away the surrounding beasts, and exerted his power to spread a large area of the surrounding area with holy light that could only be accessed by humans, preventing the surrounding beasts from raiding the tribe. Not only that, but the Savior also cast a spell to bury a pearl with a thick yellow glow here, turning this desolate land into fertile land that can be easily planted, and teaching cultivation techniques and providing food and seeds so that the humans of the tribe can be self-sufficient even if they do not hunt prey beasts.
Because the savior was afraid that after she left, the holy light would disappear one day, and he was afraid that the danger of exterminating the clan would come again, so he passed down the cultivation method for the clansmen in the tribe to practice. Eventually, under the careful teaching of the Savior, the humans in the tribe began to gradually master the methods of their practice, and many of them even achieved results in a short period of time. But at the moment when the tribesmen cheered and saw the hope of future survival, the savior left overnight.
In order to commemorate the grace of this savior, at the suggestion of the chief, the tribesmen of the tribe honored the savior as the mother earth goddess and built the mother earth temple, and the construction site is in the place where the earth mother goddess buried the yellow beads, which has been worshiped by people for generations. Over time, the humans here have come to call themselves descendants of Mother Earth Goddess.
After a thousand years, the holy light laid by the Mother Earth God disappeared, and the surrounding beasts began to move, and the tribe at this time has undergone amazing changes after thousands of years of gestation. The number of people increased several times, and even the combat power of the people underwent amazing changes after cultivation, and finally after several days and nights of desperate struggle with the fierce beasts that came one after another around them, and at the tragic price of paying the tragic price of half of the fallen clansmen, the fierce beasts were finally repelled and survived.
At that time, the surviving leaders were very grateful for everything that the Mother Earth Goddess had left for them, so they selected some extremely talented people from the tribe to collect anything left by the Mother Earth Goddess, summarize and record it, and took it as their responsibility to study and communicate with the Mother Earth Goddess. At the same time, the chief also specially instructed these clansmen to be responsible for all the operations of the Mother Earth Temple in the future, and urged people to make daily offerings and prayers to the Mother Earth Goddess. Over time, such people were called sacrifices, and the leaders of these sacrifices were called high priests, who had the same authority as the chiefs, and even had the right to speak.
As the times progressed, this small tribe gradually developed into a large tribe, and the priests, after years of study, discovered some secrets and comprehended a special ability, that is, foreknowledge. From that time on, the status of the sacrifice flourished, and the high priest became the supreme being, because the future development of the tribe was inseparable from this special ability of foreknowledge. And this ability of foreknowledge did not disappoint people, allowing the tribe to survive many crises of extermination.
After Yang Yi and the others heard this story, they learned about the origin of the indigenous people here and the related secrets of the Mother Earth Goddess. It's just that what they can't figure out is that these histories have a deep connection with them? Fortunately, there is not only one story told by the high priest, and the next story reveals the doubts of the three people.
Over the years, the Mother Earth Tribe has grown in size and gradually expanded from a small area to its current scope. And with the change of the times and the change of address, the environment around the tribe is getting worse and worse, and it is fertile
The land gradually began to desertify under the harsh environment. Over time, the entire tribe turned into a sea of sand, which made the tribe's people anxious.
Therefore, in order to be able to change this phenomenon, the priests, under the leadership of the high priest, prayed in the temple of Mother Earth all year round, praying that Mother Earth would appear again and solve the immediate crisis. Suddenly, one day, the statue of Mother Earth, which has been worshiped all year round, emitted a burst of yellow light, and a yellow bead with yellow rhyme broke through the earth, floating high in the air, exuding a faint brilliance.
The yellow beads floated and hovered high in the air for several years, and during these years, desertification began to cease within the tribe, and oases gradually emerged in many areas. However, no matter how powerful the earthy yellow beads are, there are times when they are tired, and not long after the oasis gushes out, they slowly fall down and fall on the palm of the statue of the Earth Mother Goddess, emitting a slight yellow rhyme, as if they are resting and recovering the energy consumed in the past few years.
The changes in the past few years have made all the people in the tribe see the hope of survival, and they also deeply understand that the Earth Mother God has appeared again to help them overcome the current crisis. However, the priests and high priests who prayed all year round lost their lives forever and turned into stone statues that accompanied Mother Earth for a long time.
But the good times didn't last long, the heavens and the earth were shocked, dark clouds were thick, lightning and thunder roared, and it lasted for half a year before it stopped. It's just that since then, somewhere around the tribe, a small area of thunder prison has suddenly appeared. And the thunder and lightning in this thunder prison are extremely weird, the color is earthy yellow, not to mention that this thunder and lightning did not whip down from the sky, but from the ground and whipped into the sky, such a strange phenomenon shocked everyone in the tribe.
Eventually, under the high priest's calculations, he learned that this thunder prison was a dangerous place, and it was also a dangerous factor for future extermination. Therefore, the High Priest issued an order to make this Thunder Hell a forbidden place, and no one was allowed to enter it, and privately set up a special team to study the origin of this Mine Hell and find a solution to this danger of extermination.
In the end, under the research of several generations of high priests, a clue was finally found in the origin of this thunder prison, that is, the shocking change that lasted for nearly half a year. Because the place where they are contains the extremely majestic power of the earth, at the moment when the thunder and lightning descend on the sky, there is always a little thunder and the power of the earth underground, and over time, the special energy of this fusion is derived, forming a special spiritual thunder, and this spiritual thunder is the earth mother thunder.
In the end, after several generations of research, they temporarily found a way to delay the extermination of the race, that is, to find outsiders to help them solve this thunder prison. However, after a long period of gestation, the power of this thunder prison has been infinitely magnified, and even if the outsiders found can slow down the progress of its spread, they cannot cure it. In desperation, the priests began to study for several generations, which has not yet been resolved.
As for the high priest of this generation, it is the old man in front of Yang Yi and the others, and the old man in front of him is only in his thirties, which is the most glorious age in his life, but now he is an old man who is approaching the limit. This result is difficult for them to accept for a while, but the most is sympathy and admiration. Because the high priest in front of them paid such a price for the future of the whole people, and there were not a few people like him. Such a fearless dedication touched their hearts, and they were secretly determined to solve the current crisis of extinction for this tribe even if they did their best.
