Chapter 8: The Mysterious Guardian
After arriving in the eastern suburbs, the Tang plane also changed back to the form of a human.
Twisted, massive vines have turned the eastern suburbs into a strange forest.
It's like a giant's melon field. Tang Xian and the three of them are like three squirrels and three Ru.
"I could burn all these roots and vines." Qing Jiuyu said.
The sight was cut by these vines, which seemed to make her very unaccustomed.
Tang Xian shook his head and said:
"If the growth of these plants follows the consciousness of a certain creature, then these vines are not some kind of revelation, let's go in the direction of the spread of the vines first, and try not to destroy these plants until necessary."
"I feel the breath getting stronger." As a dragon, Tang Plane's perception is still above Qing Jiuyu's.
Tang Xian didn't have a soul crystal, and if there really was a feeling, it was just a simple intuition.
This place is like a palace made of plant roots and vines.
A person, a dragon and a fox walked here, although their hearts were full of a sense of crisis, and they all looked around vigilantly, but they also felt a majestic breath of life.
This kind of breath does not come from a certain place, but permeates the entire heaven and earth, both inside and outside Baichuan City.
The meandering rhizomes fill the surroundings, but always leave a trail.
Tang Xian couldn't see both sides of the path, and although there was no feedback from the smell in his sense of smell, he could still understand the reason why Qing Jiuyu wanted to burn this place on fire.
He was at the front and didn't worry about encountering any ferocious creatures.
If there were really any ferocious creatures that were hostile to Baichuan City, it was estimated that they would have already fought with Qing Jiuyu and the others.
The trail was long, the road was winding and impossible to see the end, and Tang Xian didn't know where the road leads.
But vaguely, I felt that the area covered by vegetation was getting bigger and bigger, and the road was getting wider and wider, although there was still no end in sight.
What is in the east of the eastern suburbs, Tang Xian really doesn't know, and he went to other places to explore the suburbs with Tang Plane before.
Walking like this now, Tang Xian felt more and more that something was wrong here.
It's so quiet.
There are many animals in other places, such as the initial materials that were arranged for human development.
In the eastern suburbs, these animals are not visible.
You can't even hear the birds.
Tang Xian walked among them, listening to the footsteps of the three of them, thoughtfully.
After the memory of being Konstantin was restored, Tang Xian knew a lot more about order.
The mechanical gods who tried to decipher the "essence of the soul", the children of order who claimed to be gods, were no longer absolute mysteries to him.
But a lot of the knowledge that was acquired in the past has also been subverted.
"There are creatures in this world that are similar to the strength of the sea god, or even stronger than the sea god, have you heard anything about these creatures?"
The road seemed to be still very long, getting wider and wider, but there was no end in sight, so Tang Xian chatted with Qing Jiuyu and Tang Plane.
Tang Plane shook his head and said:
"Uncle Ben knows the legend of the Six Beast Gods, but only Lord Seagod is convinced of its existence."
Qing Jiuyu says:
"I've heard the elders of the clan say that hundreds of years ago the gods fell, and the six beast gods have all died, as for the witnesses, it is not easy to live in the Ten Thousand Beast Realm for hundreds of years, and it is difficult to find them."
After a pause, she continued:
"Unless you go to the Court of Ten Thousand Beasts."
Tang Xian nodded, and the two of them didn't say anything.
But this point can be linked to the order stele that you know.
"On the side of the Orderly, there was once a sequence of stone tablets that recorded it like this - the source of their evil, the destruction of human civilization, was caused by the six doomsday monsters led by the Demon Boy of Eden."
Qing Jiuyu and Tang Aircraft didn't know this, the battle of the fall of the gods was just a legend for them.
"This record is naturally problematic, but it does match what you said about the Six Beast Gods. The sea god is dead, and here, there should be another beast god. ”
Qing Jiuyu and Tang were shocked.
Doomsday creatures are the pinnacle of the evolution of all beasts, and if there is a body of a beast god buried here, they will not be unable to feel it.
"But apart from these crazy plants, there doesn't seem to be any sign of a big thing."
"Who told you that the Beast God must be huge?"
"What do you mean?" Qing Jiuyu asked.
"In human literature, the growth of plants comes first, and the destruction of civilization comes later, although the time of the two is very tight. But this sequence shows that among the five beast gods except the sea god, one of them is even several, and the body may not be very huge. ”
Qing Jiuyu still didn't understand the logic, she hadn't read Jing Jian's notes.
Tang Xian didn't explain much.
Whether it was the villain with the excellent quality of the mobile phone, or Jing Jian, who was so nervous that he hallucinated, they didn't mention any behemoth.
Tang Xian recalled carefully.
Only now did I realize that there were many points that could be dug deep into the contents recorded in the stone tablet of the orderly, and as my memory recovered, their interpretation meanings were completely different.
- Doomsday Creature: The Demon Boy of Eden. This is an extremely terrifying humanoid creature, they have extremely high intelligence, and they are extremely cruel by nature, do not let the Demon Boy of Eden come to the human world, they will disguise themselves as humans, but they cannot be recognized.
- The Demon Boy is like the Orderly, and has an almost godlike vision. There is also a talent among them. The Great Order is able to see the full combat capabilities of living beings.
- And the most gifted of Eden, the Demon Boy of Eden, can see through the secrets of the souls of creatures. You can even extract abilities unique to other creatures by killing them.
Zhihaili recalled the three paragraphs in the long inscription he saw at that time.
Tang Xian was particularly impressed by these three paragraphs.
Because it was such three paragraphs of content that made Tang Xian believe that the data he saw in his eyes showed that he was the Demon Boy of Eden.
But now that his memory has recovered, Tang Xian has found out that this is not the case.
The so-called near-godly vision, which sees through the secrets of the souls of creatures, does not refer to all kinds of information in one's own eyes.
Good and Evil, Wealth, Luck, Honesty, Likes, and other data talents
This is what belongs to the orderer and leaves it to himself. It has nothing to do with the bloodline of the Demon Boy of Eden.
He is a human being through and through.
Born from a woman who only remembers her appearance, but doesn't know her name.
So what is God's vision recorded by the Orderer?
At least I haven't felt it.
Tang Xian really wanted to uncover these mysteries, but in the past, he often didn't think about things that he couldn't think about first.
It's just that he rarely completely misestimates one thing because of the incomplete information.
Tang Xian suddenly thought, so far, all the information and deductions he knows—will it be far from the truth?
It's like I've hidden the fact that I'm Konstantin from everyone, will I be deceived by something because of some negligence?
When you think about it, the road doesn't seem to be long anymore.
This tunnel-like passage made up of vines and rhizomes of plants has finally come to an end.
Tang Xian stopped, temporarily put aside the thoughts in his mind, and he looked ahead.
Huge vines still spread in the distance, but the end of the road was already visible.
At the end of the tunnel is a mountain.
Tang Xian was sure that the three of them followed the vines, they should have come to a certain mountain range, but this mountain was completely different from other barren mountains.
The flat hole seemed to indicate that the answer to a puzzle was hidden inside.
But the mountain is not so easy to enter.
The mountain gate at the entrance of the cave looks very easy to break, but the guards at the entrance of the cave look very unusual.
It was a deer. The whole body is whitish, and the body is more robust than other deer, but it is far from a huge degree.
Hug Pu Ziyun, the deer is a thousand years old, and he is white when he is five hundred.
Tang Xian looked at the pair of antlers that kept growing branches like the crown of a tree, and said in his heart that there would be no such creatures in the world.
I'm a humanoid mobile encyclopedia of the mining area, but I've never seen a creature like this.
This white deer doesn't even have the breath it should have.
There is no smell, no breath, just a real presence.
Tang Xian, Tang Jiqing, and Jiuyu all stopped.
Tang Xian looked at this white deer, and he also had panel data analysis.
But this data doesn't help in any way.
Favorite things: None. Fear of things: None. Current demand: Rest strolls (95%).
The value of good and evil is also an extremely neutral number, and the index of greed for money and lust is almost desireless.
Why is such a Buddhist creature here?
What class of creature is it?
"This is the beast?"
"I've never seen it."
"I don't know."
Qing Jiuyu and Tang Aircraft answered the same thing, and their expressions were also solemn.
Maybe it's because this white deer is like a dead thing, which makes this dragon and fox feel weird because they can't feel the breath.
Tang Xianxin said that he couldn't be the Eden Demon Boy, and the combination of Canglong and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was shocked by a white deer.
"Tang plane, you go and push open the stone door of the cave."
Tang Plane was also simple, he didn't feel the danger, he just felt confused.
The white deer didn't seem to react, it did see the three of them.
When the deer looked at Tang Xian, there was no surprise or joy or sorrow.
It wasn't until the Don plane tried to get closer that it glanced at the Don plane slightly lazily.
At this glance, the surrounding plants were instantly ready to move.
The Don plane also did not feel the danger, but just stopped.
He noticed that there were weeds growing rapidly under his feet.
Tang Plane took a step further, and saw the antlers giving birth to a crystal luster.
In the eyes of the lazy deer, there was also a slight doubt.
This time, it was not only Qing Jiuyu and Tang Plane, but even Tang Xian could feel a wonderful aura.
[You're lost, I'll send you back.] 】
A voice finally came from Zhihai, and Tang Xian was sure that it was from this deer.
It's like the guardian of a cave.
It turned out to be a female deer. I don't know the level, but at least I know that it's a boss-level creature.
Don planes could not hear these words.
He didn't care about it, and was about to take another step forward, when a magical scene appeared-
The luster on the antlers became more and more devastating, and the Don plane disappeared.
It was as if there was an invisible door, and the Don plane stepped into the door, and then went somewhere else.
Qing Jiuyu suddenly became vigilant, she sensed that Tang Plane's breath was far away, and she was the only one protecting Tang Xian at this moment.
Transmission.
Tang Xian's first thought was this.
Soon this was confirmed by the deer's answer:
I sent him back to the city, and you should leave. 】
Neutrality, peace.
The white deer was not hostile, but it was also not friendly.
It's like everything in the world is a cloud of smoke. Even it is a cloud of smoke in itself.
There is no breath of air.
Occasionally, a wisp or two of smoke approached, and they blew it out or put it back in place.
It strolls gently down the aisles, sometimes resting on its knees, sometimes running merrily.
It doesn't look lonely at all.
The deer is a thousand years old, and it is white when it is five hundred.
If this is true, how long did this white deer live?
Tang Xian was sure that this deer could face an existence at the top of the food chain like Tang Plane, and it could be so relaxed and calm, and it must also be a catastrophe-level boss creature.
"What's in the cave?"
Bailu was a little surprised, very light.
I didn't expect this human-like creature to communicate directly with him.
It tilted its neck slightly, then shook its head lightly and said:
[I can't say.] 】
唐康 says:
"And how long have you been guarding here?"
[I can't say.] 】
"Does the growth of these plants and the revival of dead things have anything to do with you?"
[I can't say.] 】
"Is there anything you can say?"
It's time for you to go. 】
"Are you waiting for the right person to get in, or are you trying to prevent the wrong person from coming in?"
Tang Xian was very persistent and ignored the eviction order of the Buddhist Bailu.
[It's all the same.] 】
"Then how do you know that I'm not the one waiting in the cave?"
Bailu didn't rush to speak this time, its eyes reflected Tang Xian, with a little thought. Then it shook its head and said:
[Are you or not? If you are, you can go in. 】
"So you're like that stupid dragon and don't know who you're waiting for? It used to be just like you, guarding a place. Later, I took it away, and now life is very moist, do you want to try it too? ”
Why should I know? 】
Tang was obedient.
This is the reason why the ancients didn't like fake monks, because the real monks practiced Zen meditation, and only fake monks liked to talk nonsense with Zen language.
A posture of not touching everything, as if he is very wise, but in fact he is brain-dead.
Tang Xian didn't rush to ask questions, and thought about it from his own position.
The deer has always been gentle in living things, not to mention a deer that has lived for at least a few hundred years in this lifeless world.
I have to bring back some memories of it.
The conflict is clearly useless.
This deer is supposed to be a magical creature capable of creating teleportation enchantments.
Although it is not lethal, it is also helpless.
Crucially, this teleportation is simply imperceptible.
All the actions of this deer seem to be ethereal.
He frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly said:
"You are a mount, and your master is dead. Although you seem to have no desires in your heart, but you are still here, it means that you are not as Buddhist as you imagined. ”
Bailu was stunned for a second.
Tang Xian admits that he has an element of gambling, but he can always bet right.
Although I can't read the deer's expression, the reaction of the pupils is the same.
Then he said something that surprised Bailu even more:
"It's hard to find creatures that can live for hundreds of years in a world like a mine, but this world is different—
I guess you're a witness to the fall of the gods, right? Moreover, I was not the first visitor. ”
(There is another update today, and another Saturday is scheduled to explode.) )
