Chapter 316: The Past
The serious-faced elder waved his hand casually to calm everyone down, and then looked at Xia Shu with straight eyes and said, "I believe that this prehistoric power, what he said will definitely not fool people." Xiaoyou, don't you say? ”
Even Natsuki had to start admiring the elder in the gray bathrobe in front of him. That's right, it's wearing a big gray bathrobe, and all the elders here wear bathrobes, but the colors of each person are a little different.
This is also the strangest elder Natsuki has ever seen.
The serious-faced elder successfully attracted the attention of the elders to Xia Shu, and seeing the way this group of people were eyeing him, Xia Shu nodded indifferently, indicating that he agreed with what the serious-faced elder said just now.
The other elders could only be suspicious and let the three elders continue.
"Then I'll say it," Seeing that the elders had no opinions, the three elders continued, "We, the cat demon clan, have been hiding in this enchantment since the vitality of the end of the law era was about to disappear. Although the word hide was used, the three elders did not feel ashamed at all, and the other elders also had a calm face, which made Natsuki impressed.
"But even if there is an enchantment, our aura is still not enough," Speaking of this, the three elders couldn't help but sigh sadly, "More and more children can't cultivate to a higher level, and our ancestors have to find a way." ”
Jiucheng Liang also stood quietly aside at this time, without disturbing the third elder to continue.
Natsuki could probably guess that it should have been that the nine-headed Xiangliu had just fled to Japan at this time, ah, it should also be said that it was the Yaqi Orochi, and the cat demon clan bumped into it.
Sure enough, the Third Elder continued: "At this time, our ancestors happened to meet a great power! He happened to be seriously injured at that time and needed the help of our cat demon clan, so he designed a large enchantment for us and found a good place for us to hide. It's a pity that our ancestors didn't believe what the great power said, and in the future, human beings will inevitably kill the monster clan, and we are still living outside, but more and more monsters are inexplicably killed, and our ancestors finally realized that what the great power said is true, so the whole clan migrated here. ”
Speaking of the tragic death of the cat demon clan in the past, although the three elders did not say it very specifically, the eyes of all the elders dimmed a little, which shows that they are still very sad about the history of the cat demon clan.
Natsuki suddenly asked, "Then did you ever complain about your ancestors for not bringing your juniors into this enchantment in time?" ”
The elders were stunned.
"What stupid are you talking about?" Jiucheng snorted coldly, "How can you not complain?" ”
"Uh..." The elders looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while, and even the corners of the mouths of the three elders who had always been serious twitched a little, but they still didn't dare to refute Jiucheng Liang.
Jiucheng Liang didn't care about the faces of these elders, and continued: "It must be fake not to complain at that time, so many cat demons have lost their mother and father, so many cat demons have lost their children, how can they not complain?" A look of pain suddenly appeared in her eyes, but Jiucheng Liang continued: "But what can be done about this? After all, at the beginning, it was these cat demons who were unwilling to enter the enchantment, after all, there are so many beautiful things in the outside world, and they were reluctant to abandon these, or rather, they were unwilling to abandon the original prosperous life, return to the basics, and practice in such a mountain! ”
The elders couldn't help but show a wry smile, and the third elder sighed: "Yes, we will never be able to get rid of all kinds of temptations in this world, if someone could have clearly realized this at that time, I guess we wouldn't be like this now." ”
Natsuki nodded, and then glanced appreciatively at Ryo Jiucheng, who was still a little stinky, and the three elders who were serious.
Of course, Jiucheng Liang saw Natsuki's appreciative eyes, and his face turned slightly red, but he immediately "snorted" and turned his face.
"So, what you promised the Yaqi Orochi was to help it distribute the magatama and collect the fragments of the eight-foot mirror?" Natsuki immediately guessed.
The Third Elder didn't expect Natsuki to know so much: "You, you actually know that we are collecting the fragments of the eight-foot mirror?" ”
The other elders suddenly turned a little ugly: "Lianhua sauce!" ”
Natsuki didn't deny it, but he still excused Hoshino Aika: "Lianhua-chan didn't tell me, it's just that I found it when she came to steal the fragment of my eight-foot mirror here, and I just found out." ”
"You have a fragment of the eight-foot mirror here?" The third elder's eyes lit up when he heard Xia Shu's answer, and then he asked impatiently, seeing Xia Shu smiling and nodding, he was even more excited: "I wonder if Xiaoyou can give us this fragment?" We, we can give you anything you want. ”
Jiucheng Liang's face was a little bad and he yelled at the third elder: "Dead old man! Why are you making all the more promises! What does it mean to give him whatever he wants? ”
"Eh, Lord Jiucheng," the third elder also lost his mind because of excitement, and was yelled at by Jiucheng Liang, and then he came to his senses, and suddenly a little afraid of Jiucheng Liang took a half step back, "I'm also excited for a while..." ”
"I said a long time ago that I will remove you all from your post sooner or later," Jiucheng Liang raised his head arrogantly, with a look of disgust, "One is more useless than the other, I really don't know how you were elected to become an elder." ”
All the elders were scolded all of a sudden, Natsuki looked at the appearance of these elders, and also felt like laughing, it seems that it is not unreasonable for them to be afraid of Jiucheng Liang, they are often confused, no wonder Jiucheng Liang's attitude towards them is so unfriendly.
Jiucheng Liang reprimanded the elders, and then turned to look at Xia Shu with an arrogant face: "Human, I'll give you a chance to please me, give me the eight-foot mirror fragment." ”
Hearing Jiucheng Liang say this, the elders almost stumbled, and their old bodies almost fell to the ground.
And Natsuki couldn't help but be amused: "What if I don't want this opportunity?" ”
Jiucheng Liang, who has always been coaxed by others, has never encountered such a thing, and she was a little dumbfounded, but she still barely controlled her expression: "Human, I know you are embarrassed, for the sake of the fragments of the eight-foot mirror, I have a lot of forgiveness for you like this, hand it over quickly." ”
Xia Shu also lost his temper with the arrogance of this civet cat, and knew that it didn't make sense to her, so he looked at the three elders on the side, after a series of things just now, Xia Shu also knew that this three elders were estimated to be in charge of all the elders, and he smiled at the three elders who were pondering: "It seems that you really need this eight-foot mirror fragment?" ”
"It's nature." The third elder hurriedly said, I'm afraid it's too late, maybe the lenses that Xia Shu was going to give them will be gone.
Natsuki nodded knowingly: "But I didn't bring it with me." ”
"What?!" Everyone's faces changed dramatically.
"You don't even have something so important with you?" Jiucheng Liang, who had already made a plan and planned to wait to snatch it directly from Xia Shu, was also very angry, wasn't he playing tricks on her?
Xia Shu glanced at Jiucheng Liang as if he had seen through everything, and this glance made Jiucheng Liang feel a little weak, but thinking that Xia Shu was no matter how powerful he was, he didn't have the ability to read minds, so he had confidence again, and immediately glared back not to be outdone.
"Yes, little friend, aren't you afraid that the fragments will be stolen by someone with a heart?" The three elders were also a little anxious, and the elders behind them also nodded in response, all looking anxious.
"If you have a heart, I'm afraid it's only the cat demon clan, right?" Xia Shu said disapprerovingly, and by the way, he also said, "It was Lianhua-chan who kept coming to me to steal the fragments of the eight-foot mirror, and I knew that your cat demon clan needed this thing very much", which made Jiucheng Liang feel a little toothache.
The elders looked at each other, a little embarrassed.
The third elder coughed, and then said: "Actually, it's not necessarily, according to the news passed to us by Lianhua-chan, there is also an organization that is using the fragments of the eight-foot mirror to make magatama or something..., this, I don't know if you know Xiaoyou." ”
Hearing his sentence of "little friend", Natsuki couldn't help it, and said directly: "Natsuki Kazama, just call me Natsuki-kun." "Of course, Natsuki wouldn't call the Third Elder the Third Elder.
"Ah, Natsuki-kun." The third elder didn't have anything awkward, but after he shouted, he was glared at by Jiucheng Liang.
Natsuki nodded and smiled, and then said, "I do know, and I told Lianhua-chan the news." ”
The elders suddenly had such expressions, it seemed that the things they were discussing just now also included whether it was Natsuki who passed on the news about the fragment of the eight-foot mirror to Hoshino Aika.
"So," the Third Elder asked a little hesitantly, "May I ask if Xia Shujun knows the details of this organization?" Although Lianhua-chan told us that it was related to a certain game, we didn't know where to start. ”
Natsuki nodded: "You have been staying in this enchantment, so naturally you don't know what is happening in the outside world. Legend of Mountains and Seas, I don't know if you have any contact with this game? ”
When Natsuki talked about the enchantment again, the faces of the elders were a little unnatural.
"Legend of the mountains and seas?"
