Chapter 691: Ancient Gods
Lu Sheng took the brothers of Xuantian Mansion to Gejia Village again, and through Hu Ke's story, Lu Sheng found the grave of the little girl of the Ge family in the ancestral cemetery of the Ge family outside Gejia Village.
Because of folk customs, children cannot be buried as family members until they reach adulthood. Therefore, the place where the child is buried is not in the ancestral grave, but outside the ancestral grave, it is buried in a clay pot.
Opening the clay pot, Lu Sheng saw the corpse of the girl who had been severely decomposed, and there was a pitch-black cat corpse in the girl's arms.
The discovery of the cat's corpse proves that Huko's story is true, because Gejia Village killed the Imperial Spirit, so the Soul Eaters took revenge and slaughtered the entire village.
And Huko wasn't killed because he was crazy. It's because he wears that spell with him!
Punishing the Evil Alliance, related to the Soul Eater?
Lu Sheng's brows tightened, he now needed Lin Xi's side to make progress, and it was best to directly arrest the Evil Alliance and the Soul Eater Clan on the spot.
"My lord, I found it. "Before leaving Gejia Village, Xianyun hurried over," the Taoist priest who drew the talisman found it. β
"Where?"
"I've been brought back to Xuantian Mansion. β
Lu Sheng returned to Xuantian Mansion and was stunned when he entered the interrogation room. In the interrogation room, a monk sat cross-legged and looked like an old god was there.
Lu Sheng thought that the person who drew that spell should be related to the Soul Eater clan, because that spell was too similar to the Soul Suppression Talisman. He even wanted to find the hiding place of the Soul Eaters through spells.
But I didn't expect it...... The person who drew the spell turned out to be a Qingxuan Dao person. Last time, Qingxuan and Fain said that they would stay in Lanzhou for a while after leaving, but they didn't expect them to stay in Beieven Mansion.
"Why are you two?"
"Lord Lu seems to be very disappointed? Lord Lu, what are you arresting the two of us for? Isn't it, what have we done to disturb the stability of Lanzhou?"
This is a joke, after all, they are old acquaintances, and the two of them will not be angry about this kind of thing.
Lu Sheng took out the bright yellow paper charm and held it in front of him, "Qingxuan Daoist, you drew this charm?"
"Huh?" Qingxuan Daoist looked at the charm, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly closed his eyes and said Infinite Heavenly Venerable.
"It seems that the man still didn't escape after all. β
"That man is Huko?"
"I don't know what that person's name is, Lord Lu calls him Hu Ke, it should be Hu Ke.
About a month ago, Poor Road and Fain were fishing by the river. Suddenly, there was a sense of opportunity, and there would be a destined person to come to the poor road. It wasn't long before a crazy man came up and had words in his mouth.
Although this person is crazy, but the poor Dao sees that he has quite a Dao root, and if he is trained by a famous teacher, the future is immeasurable. But Poor Dao also saw that his Yin Tang was black, and it seemed that there was a death calamity, if he couldn't avoid this calamity, then everything would be over.
Therefore, Poor Dao sent the talisman to the idiot, hoping that he could escape with this talisman. β
"That's not right, right?" Lu Sheng smiled, and then took out a stack of charms, "Qingxuan Dao people have a good business these days, and they have drawn so many charms. β
If it weren't for Qing Xuan drawing so many spells, Xuantian Mansion would not have been able to find Qing Xuan Dao people so quickly.
Seeing this stack of charms, the corners of Fain's mouth hooked up a gloating smile, and the Qingxuan Daoist also smiled awkwardly.
"Lord Lu, I'm just a poor Taoist priest, and I'm still waiting for this rice bucket that I don't just say I can't make. So it's just a matter of drawing talismans for people to make ends meet......"
"What do you mean?" Lu Sheng asked suspiciously.
"Amitabha, just by virtue of this bull's nose, can you draw a soul talisman? Not to mention the soul talisman, even the town house talisman can't be drawn. All these charms in your hands are vain, only the spell given to that fool is real. Fain laughed.
"Looks like I'm happy for nothing. Lu Sheng sighed lightly.
"What does Lord Lu mean by this?" Qingxuan Daoren's face suddenly became solemn, "Why did Lord Lu pay attention to this spell?"
"As you might guess, Huko was killed, and we found the spell on him. I saw the resemblance to the charm on the bronze coffin we had seen together that day. β
"It turns out that Lord Lu is still investigating that matter, didn't you say it last time, the talisman is our Taoist text, but all Taoist talismans have similarities. Qing Xuan was a little unhappy, although Lu Sheng was only suspicious at the beginning, but he finally felt a little humiliated by being suspected.
"Don't be angry with the Qingxuan Dao people, I don't know if the Qingxuan Dao people have ever heard of the Soul Eater Clan?"
"Boom-" The momentum of Fain and Qing Xuan was instantly agitated. The candle flame in the interrogation room suddenly flickered violently like a candle in the wind.
But soon, both of them realized their gaffes and put away their wanton momentum.
"Amitabhaβ"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerableβ"
"It seems that the two of you know!" Lu Sheng asked with a playful look in his eyes, the last time he saw the copper coffin, he said that he didn't know, but now this reaction is obviously known.
"Lord Lu, it's not that we know and don't tell the truth. But we didn't know it at the time, but later we all asked the seniors in the sect, and then we learned some secrets.
But only to know the secrets, after all, the Soul Eater Clan has not appeared for nearly 30,000 years. β
"Thirty thousand years, so old?" Lu Sheng was surprised, because as far as he knew, many clans had only begun to appear thirty thousand years ago. But the Soul Eater Clan disappeared from 30,000 years ago. It has been a full 30,000 years, and it may even be older than the oldest holy place like Dao Ting Xuanzong.
When the Soul Eater disappeared, there was no Holy Land in Shenzhou. So don't say that the poor Dao didn't know at that time, even the Daoting Xuanzong also read a large number of classics and found the clues. But even if we do, we don't want to believe that this is a new reappearance of the Soul Eaters.
We prefer to believe that this is just a cult sacrifice. β
"Even if it's a Soul Eater Clan, it's just an ancient alien race, why would the Dao Court Xuanzong, which is a holy land, be so jealous of this?" Lu Sheng asked puzzled.
All along, Lu Sheng only regarded the Soul Eater Clan as an ancient alien race like the Corpse Refining Clan. And the Soul Eater Clan's ranking on the alien genealogy is far lower than that of the Corpse Refining Clan, so although Lu Sheng has always attached importance to the Soul Eater Clan, he has never regarded it as a feared opponent.
However, Lu Sheng ignored one point, in the era of the ancient times when hundreds of schools of thought contended, the Soul Eater clan had long been reduced to a legend. But that's it, still ranked in the early 100s on the interracial tree. One can imagine how deeply rooted the legend of the Soul Eater clan was at that time.
"If you want to say that you are afraid of the Soul Eaters...... It really shouldn't be. Even if the Soul Eater Clan has a famous Dao Ting Xuanzong, he is not afraid of him. But...... The significance of the appearance of the Soul Eaters is extraordinary.
Lord Lu, do you know where the secret technique of the Soul Eater Clan comes from?"
"As far as I can tell, it seems to have signed some kind of pact with the Immortal King. Lu Sheng asked hesitantly, but it wasn't Lu Sheng who really knew. It was seen from Hong Molan's collated materials.
It's been a long time ago, and many things may not be true. Most of the things in the mythological era are distorted.
"It seems that Lord Lu really knows that he is worthy of being an immortal, so Lord Lu was assigned by Heaven to come to Shenzhou for this Hades King, right?"
"That...... Didn't I say that my arrival was just an accident!" The shocking scam of saying that he is an immortal can be said to be justified in front of others, but in front of the two people of Qingxuan Dao, Lu Sheng is a little weak-hearted.
"In a way, the secret art of the Soul Eaters comes from the Immortal King. But in fact, he should be called the Emperor of the Underworld, the Supreme of the Underworld, and the Emperor of the Underworld. β
"Hades...... I seem to have heard about him, too. However, doesn't it mean that there is only one true god of heaven and earth? He is also given the identity of the creator god. β
"The creator god is exaggerating, at least, when the Dao Lord appeared, heaven and earth had appeared for a long time. Even before the Dao Master, there were many gods in heaven and earth. β
"Are these true or false, is it history, or is it legend?" Lu Sheng asked solemnly. In this world, you can't deny the existence of God, but you can't blindly believe in God's existence.
It's strange that something you thought was impossible has just appeared. What you think is false, it's true.
So Lu Sheng is eager to know what the secrets of this world are, where the truth is hidden. The appearance of the Soul Eater clan will really involve the ancient gods.
"Maybe it's true, maybe it's fake. Qing Xuan's answer made Lu Sheng have the urge to slap him.
Lu Sheng ordered his subordinates to serve tea, and then looked at the Qingxuan Daoist, "Please also ask the Qingxuan Daoist to carefully talk about the ancient gods, the Hades Emperor, and the Soul Devouring Clan." β
"Since Lord Lu has been invited, then the poor road will talk to Lord Lu well. Our past, an infinite time ago, is divided into the age of the gods, the age of mythology, the age of antiquity, and the age of dynasties.
There are traces of antiquity and dynastic times, after all, everything we have now is a continuation of that era. But the age of the gods and the age of myths are too far back to be found.
The Dao Lord was born in the Age of Mythology, and should be the last generation of Heavenly Dao gods. The ancient alien race was born in antiquity, but in fact, there is no clear dividing line between antiquity and mythology. Even now, many scholars at the Shrine of Social Science believe that the ancient era and the mythological era are the same era.
Hades is supposed to be a god in the early Age of the Gods. Some people say that the gods are creatures that are nurtured by heaven and earth, some people say that the gods are powerful creatures who have been sublimated after spying on the laws of heaven and earth, and some people say that the gods are actually people who have stolen the power of the heavenly way.
But it seems that it was not particularly difficult to become a god in that era, as long as you persist, as long as you have perseverance, you can steal the power of a law and become a god.
There is a story about a fawn that likes to run, and it likes the thrill of running. Then since birth, he has been running, and his speed is getting faster and faster.
It seems that the Heavenly Dao does not impose restrictions on him, as long as it wants to run, its speed can keep increasing until, faster than the wind, faster than electricity, faster than everything. β
"And then, the deer became a god?"
