Chapter 322: The Purpose of the Great Snake
"You didn't even know what the purpose of the Yaqi Orochi was, so you agreed?" Natsuki said helplessly.
The elders looked at each other, and then one of the elders said weakly: "Actually, it wasn't what we promised, it was our ancestors, and we weren't born yet." ”
"Cut, that's not from the cat demon clan?" Jiucheng said with a hatred of iron, although he couldn't understand the expression of her current state of a civet, but Natsuki could somewhat guess that if she was in a human state, her expression would probably be painful. I can't help but think it's a little funny.
"This," the third elder reminded Jiucheng Liang embarrassedly, "Lord Jiucheng, speaking of which, you are also a member of our cat demon clan." ”
Jiucheng Liang didn't care about it and shook his tail and said, "But what you agreed to back then has nothing to do with our civet." After all, how could we, such a clever race, agree to such a stupid thing? As he spoke, he snorted, which can be said to be very proud.
Xia Shu smiled slightly: "Then let's take it as not your fault, but now it's you who are officially fulfilling this treaty, right?" His eyes sharpened a little.
The Third Elder hurriedly explained, "Lord Natsuki, it's not that we don't want to refuse to perform, it's just that if we don't work hard to fulfill it, this place will be taken back by the Yaqi Orochi." ”
"Hasn't the Yaqi Great Snake been sealed? How can you take back your dwelling? Natsuki asked.
"Although the Yaqi Snake has been sealed, Lord Natsuki must also know that if he makes a blood oath, there is no need for the Yaqi Snake to come forward, and the heavens will punish it instead." An elder hurriedly said.
Xia Shu was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing: "Your ancestors actually signed a blood contract in the first place?" ”
The blood contract, as the name suggests, is to swear by the essence blood of both parties, that is, the blood of the heart. Now seeing the elders so embarrassed, it is not difficult to guess that the ancestors of the cat demon clan signed a contract with the Yaqi Orochi with the future of the cat demon clan.
Sighing, Natsuki said, "Then now is not the time to dwell on why your ancestors signed the blood contract, but why did the Yaqi Orochi do this?" What is its purpose in doing so? It is certainly impossible to say that it is just a condition that comes to mind on a whim. ”
The elders nodded in agreement.
The shortest elder muttered, "It's really strange, it's clear that the eight-foot mirror is used to seal the Yaqi Snake, why does the Yaqi Snake still want us to help him retrieve the fragments of the eight-foot mirror?" Could it be that it wants to seal itself up? ”
"Ignorance!" Jiucheng Liang directly pounced and swept his tail on the elder's face, and the short elder suddenly wailed in pain.
After Jiucheng Liang fell to the ground, he also blew his tail, as if he had just slapped the elder in the face and soiled his tail. It walked around in front of everyone with its head held high, and then said slowly: "Lord Ben has already discovered that the eight-foot mirror is said to be a divine object that seals the Yaqi Giant Snake, in fact, if the Yaqi Giant Snake wants to break the seal, these three divine objects are also important things." ”
"What?!" The elders were shocked.
Natsuki, on the other hand, nodded knowingly, and he guessed the same. After all, the Yaqi Snake will definitely not be willing to be sealed, and wants to break the seal one day, so the purpose of all its actions is to break the seal and escape.
Then again, what exactly is the Yaki Orochi? Why is it so many people frightened?
The Yaki Orochi is actually the nine-headed Xiangliu, because one of them was cut off and fled to Japan, it is called the Yaki Orochi, and when it first fled to Japan, it was the Edo period, which was the heyday of cultivation. After the Yaqi Orochi escaped here, he thought that its strength was very strong and that it had no opponents, so he turned this side upside down.
Originally, if it was just one side of the world that was disturbed, the great powers of Japan at that time would not have taken care of it, but not only did it make a mess in one place, but it was warned by everyone that there was no restraint, so the great powers worked together to use the divine object to seal it. And those powers who sealed the Yaqi Great Snake were collectively called the Three Imperial Families, and they were really united at that time.
At that time, the Yaqi Snake was still very powerful, so it would not let the elders of the cat demon clan respect and fear it.
"Master Ben thinks that's it, otherwise why would it want you to help collect the fragments of the eight-foot mirror?" Jiucheng Liang said as a matter of course.
The original artifact, what Natsuki knew was that the eight-foot mirror was directly broken into many small pieces, turned into light and scattered to various regions of Japan, probably to prevent the Yaki Orochi from opening the seal at once by relying on the complete artifact.
Since the eight-foot mirror has been shattered like this, then Natsuki can probably guess if the other artifacts are also split into many pieces like the eight-foot mirror, and most of them are held by those big families?
"Then, the other artifacts should be in the hands of the Eight Great Families." Natsuki said.
The Third Elder said with a worried face, "Then do we still want to continue to help the Yaqi Great Snake find the fragments?" We," he said, pausing and hesitating a little, but continued, "we've actually collected five pieces, and if you look at the outline, you can almost see what it was. "This is also what the third elder is most worried about, he was very happy to see that he was almost halfway done, but he found that these things were not done right, which also made him very frustrated.
Feeling that the three elders had finally withdrawn their defense against him and didn't keep anything more, Natsuki smiled slightly: "Keep looking, in fact, I also want to know what big waves it can turn over?" "Actually, Xia Shu now thinks that this thing is really getting more and more interesting, and he actually has the psychology of eagerness to try, I don't know if the elders know that he thinks so, will he spit out a mouthful of blood and be directly angry.
"Human, you have to think clearly," Jiucheng Liang suddenly looked at Natsuki seriously, "This matter is about the common people in the world." ”
Natsuki heard Jiucheng Liang say this, but he didn't seem to care very much, he was not a person with a heart for the common people. So he just smiled slightly, "I'm not a good person." ”
