Chapter 124: Sir, Do You Want Tentacles?
"We haven't heard of the legend of immortality." The village chief and priest said. They were just shocked by it.
Xia You looked at their expressions, and the two of them didn't seem to be lying.
I haven't heard of this kind of legend, what are you excited about!
The village chief felt a little guilty for not being able to fulfill Xia You's wish, so he saved: "But we have heard another legend, the legend of humans turning into flowers. ”
"Can humans turn into flowers?" Xia You doesn't feel very reliable, but this is a different world, and it can't be measured by the common sense of the earth.
Hearing the two say that they didn't know, Aya was already lost, but after hearing the legend of people turning into flowers, she became excited again.
She pulled Xia You with her hand: "Lord Xia You, humans can really turn into flowers!" ”
The girl didn't call Xia You a god, this is to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xia You is not a real god, if you meet other gods, you will be recognized.
In the past, the girl also said to Xia You that she wanted to become a flower, Xia You didn't believe it much, but now Xia You has some faith, although the legends are mostly unreliable, but there are also some prototypes with a little fact.
Legends are stories, and stories are artistically polished. For example, if a friend comes over and says two bad things about his wife, it will become a plot of a friend cheating, a wife violent, and a distorted child killing his parents.
If you polish it a little more, you can also turn it into a plot like a friend cheating on his son, his wife is jealous, he kills his son, his friend is angry, and he fights his wife for 300 rounds.
Seeing Aya's interest, the village chief told the legend:
"I heard this story from my mother, and I don't know how many generations of word of mouth have passed it on. Next to our village, in the direction of the Great Snow Mountain. ”
The village chief came to the window, opened the wooden window, and wanted to point it to the girl, but as soon as he lifted the plank, a gust of wind and snow blew into his mouth.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" The village chief knelt on the ground and coughed vigorously.
The priest closed the window.
"It's the mountain next to it, you can see it when you go out." The priest continued, and she had heard the story, "It was a snow-capped mountain, and even in the hottest part of summer, it was covered with snow, and all the plants were silent in a blank of white, not even a single animal. ”
"It is said that a long time ago, that mountain was a rich and beautiful mountain, and there was another village on the mountain."
"In that village, there was a god in the form of a human who had been given the hand of a beast god, and he had chosen a young girl to be his spokesman. The human god was a very kind deity, not only did he not ask the village for sacrifices, but he also often helped the village hunt. ”
"The village soon grew, and the villagers became more and more respectful of the gods, and the young girl, who was the spokesperson of the gods, became more and more powerful."
"The girl was very satisfied with her mission to serve the gods, and she was happy to see the villagers who were getting happier and happier and the gentle gods."
"However, human beings are only human beings, and although the girl is the spokesperson of the gods, she still cannot escape aging and death."
"At the mark of death, the maiden prayed to the gods and turned her into a red flower, and the flowers accompanied the gods, flowering, bearing seeds, and sprouting again......"
The legend has been told, Xia You and Yuna don't feel anything, but Aya is greatly encouraged, and she pulled Xia You's sleeve again: "Lord Xia You, when I die, turn me into a flower too!" ”
Xia You knocked on the girl's head: "Think about why you came!" ”
"By the way, our purpose is to not grow old and die."
"I guess it's just a legend, if there really is such a village and such a god, that village must still be on that mountain!" The village chief added that he didn't really believe in the legend either.
It's a pretty good story, though.
"Have you been to the mountains to see it?" Xia You asked again.
"I've only seen it at the foot of the mountain, and there's no prey on that mountain."
In a world of extremely low productivity, it's just that survival is already very hard, and there is no time to do any lore investigation.
"Excuse me, let's leave." Xia You got up and said goodbye.
"It's snowing so hard outside, let's stay in the village for one night!" The chief of the village and the priest kept it.
Rejected the two, Xia You and the three of them left the village.
As a place to spend the night, the village is indeed good, but this good is judged by spending the night in the wild, and for Xia You, no matter where it is, it is home.
When he comes to the forest, Xia You will use the Truth Gate to build a house to come out.
Aya tugged at his clothes, "Kami-sama, let's go and have a look on that mountain!" ”
The girl's eyes were full of longing, and she cared very much about that legend.
"Then let's go up and have a look." Xia You agreed to this request.
The fourth task is to fulfill the girl's wish, if only you go up to see the house can satisfy the girl.
The three of them walked slowly along the forest towards the snow-capped mountain.
When he walked to the foot of the mountain, Xia You found that the trees next to him had turned into ice trees, and the ice cubes hung on the branches, as if adding leaves to the empty branches.
There was snow on the ground, and Natsuyo made a sled, and he looked around, trying to find an animal to pull the sled, but let alone a beast that could pull the sled, there was no living creature around.
After thinking about it, Xia You took out the ball of light and put the rope on its body.
"Drive!"
Under the flight of the ball of light, the sleigh quickly glides up on the snow.
Soon, the sleigh reached the top of the mountain.
Indeed, as the village chief said, there was not a single living thing in the mountains, and there was ice everywhere.
The mountain is not very high, and this freezing is obviously abnormal.
An igloo was built on the top of the mountain, Xia You picked up the ball of light and knocked it the ice, and the ball of light shattered into hundreds of small pieces.
Hundreds of small pieces turned into hundreds of small balls of light, and the small balls of light flew around.
After more than an hour, the small ball of light brought the news of the investigation.
Riding on the bare ball sleigh, the three of them came to a place on the mountainside, which was a cliff.
After getting off the sleigh, Xia You came to the edge of the cliff, and when he looked down, he saw a village snow sculpture.
No one will be bored enough to carve a village, which is formed by the freezing of real villages.
After descending the cliff, Xia You used the Gate of Truth to remove the snow and ice from the village.
A village with barely the slightest damage appeared in front of the trio. There was not a single sign of people in the village, not even a single human skeleton.
If there really is a village on this mountain, maybe that legend is also true?
Xia You let the ball of light probe on the mountain again.
After a while, the ball of light probed into another place, which was a cemetery not far behind the village, and the planks were inserted into the snow hills, and the snowflakes falling from the sky made it look extremely lonely.
The people who saw the village were buried here.
Xia You and the three of them returned to the igloo on the top of the mountain and stayed for three days, and during these three days, the ball of light was not found in the slightest.
Just when Xia You was about to give up, the sky on the mountainside suddenly shattered, and a pitch-black pit appeared in the sky, and a black tentacle poked out of it.
The tentacles stretched and waved, striking, towards the mountainside.
