Chapter 8: Ancient Tribes
In the hazy night, the mountains and forests are once again quiet. Jiang Xiaobai looked at the black birthmark on the baby girl's shoulder and lost his mind for a while.
The birthmark on the baby girl's body was identical to that on his wife's, and the seat was on the left shoulder.
"Whispering... Did you really jump into that abyss in the first place... But this... Will this baby girl be the reborn you..."After experiencing rebirth after 10,000 years, when Jiang Xiaobai saw this familiar mark engraved in his heart again, he had to think of a certain possibility.
But people die like lights going out, Jiang Xiaobai didn't know that in the entire history of the Origin Continent, there was no one like him who could come back after 10,000 years, he was just that mysterious exception.
But even if there really is another special case, it is definitely not a flesh-and-blood living body, but an evil spirit that has crawled out of the Nine Hells and has lost its true self.
Maybe... Even the gods who can shuttle yin and yang, cross reincarnation, and have eternal and immortal bodies in ancient legends should not be able to do such a thing as bringing the bones of the living back to life.
......
"Ah~ya~" The baby girl's childish voice interrupted Jiang Xiaobai's thoughts. But she didn't cry, but looked at Jiang Xiaobai curiously with a pair of bright big eyes.
"Even the eyes are very similar..."
The baby's eyes were as green as jewels, and as bright as the stars in the night. Her skin is like snow, fairy skin and jade bones, and the faint brilliance flows in the faint moonlight, just like a porcelain doll carved in pink and jade.
Jiang Xiaobai was not sure that the baby girl was his reborn wife, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart. In order to verify the truth, three days later, he took the baby girl into a mortal realm in the West.
In the past year, Jiang Xiaobai traveled to thousands of cities and countries, and also consulted many experienced scholars of ancient history, and finally he found an answer.
But the answer is somewhat unsatisfactory. According to ancient records and ancient historians' answers, the black bull head birthmark on the left shoulder of the baby girl was the totem of a mysterious tribe in ancient times. All of their people will have such a totemic mark on their body, but not necessarily on the left shoulder.
Legend has it that the mysterious tribe was descended from the old gods, but for some reason they suddenly disappeared from this world at the end of the ancient era, and even the name of the tribe was not left. However, some people say that they may have broken the void and gone to another world.
However, according to records, there are still descendants of that tribe on this continent, and they appeared in this world more than 9,000 years ago.
It is said that the descendant is also a woman, she is peerless, amazing, and unparalleled, and her cultivation is the best in the world, almost comparable to the gods. At that time, she was like a meteor piercing the sky, stunning the entire continent, and leaving countless shocking legends.
But just a few years later, like her ancestors, she suddenly disappeared from this world without a trace. Later, many later generations speculated that she had either died or shattered this void to follow the footprints of the ancestors.
Since then, the descendants of that tribe have not been seen on the mainland. Maybe it's because the bloodline in their bodies is already very weak, and it's difficult to awaken the inheritance of their ancestors.
Jiang Xiaobai really wanted to learn more about that tribe in order to get more clues. But apart from the words in ancient books and legends, there are no more clues.
"It seems that Xiaoyu and this little girl named Ling'er are the descendants of that tribe. They are of the same origin, not the same person. Jiang Xiaobai was somewhat disappointed. He gave himself a bitter smile and then took Jiang Ling'er to Tianfu City, the imperial capital of Shu.
After a year of research, Jiang Xiaobai also found the origin of the continent and the mystery of his own resurrection. Although there are many records and legends about the origin of the continent, most of them are some marginal inferences summarized by later generations in combination with prehistoric civilizations, and no one can really answer the origin of the continent from beginning to end. And his resurrection is even more of a mystery that covers the sky, there is no similar record in ancient books and legends, as if he just appeared out of thin air and should not exist in this world at all.
However, the doubts have not yet been answered, and Jiang Xiaobai has a new question. Previously, Jiang Xiaobai thought that this Origin Continent was likely to be the earth in 10,000 years, but after this year's experience, he found that this was simply impossible. Because this Origin Continent is too large and vast, this mortal realm in the western realm alone is at least hundreds of thousands of miles away, and it is by no means comparable to tens of thousands of miles on the earth. And such an area is only a drop in the ocean in the entire Dongzhou, not to mention the entire continent.
The Origin Continent is so big that it is simply unimaginable. Not to mention ordinary mortals in the earthly world, even extremely powerful cultivators can't know where it began.
Jiang Xiaobai stopped in Tianfu City, and he was ready to live in seclusion here. On the one hand, it was very inconvenient for Jiang Ling'er to walk the mainland with her when she was still young. Second, it's more about the curse from the Fallen Forest.
According to Ling Tian's information, even if a cultivator who entered the Fallen Forest could survive without dying, he would eventually be cursed by the forest's ominous curse. Since then, the spiritual root has disappeared, the soul sea has closed, and he has turned into a mortal.
If he becomes a mortal, he will lose the ability to protect himself on this dangerous continent. When the time comes, don't say that you are a powerful cultivator, even an ordinary martial arts master may be able to kill him.
In addition, due to Jiang Ling'er's unexpected appearance, Jiang Xiaobai also changed a lot of ideas. He remembered that in the dream, his wife was already pregnant with his child. And this little girl and her wife are both descendants of an ancient mysterious tribe, and they are of the same origin. So inexplicably, he has regarded Jiang Linger as his daughter.
Taking advantage of the fact that the curse of the Fallen Forest had not yet been fulfilled, Jiang Xiaobai began to make crazy gold in this mortal realm with the extraordinary means of a cultivator, and also secretly formed his own forces.
After another three years, Jiang Xiaobai turned into a mysterious Jiang Yuanwai, and his business began to spread throughout the mortal realm, establishing a transcendent force in the mortal world.
In fact, Jiang Xiaobai's idea is very simple, that is, he wants to have a place to live and the ability to protect himself when that curse comes, and at the same time, he also hopes to give Jiang Ling'er a safe and happy growth environment, but at least no one in the mortal world can pose a threat to his and Jiang Ling'er's safety.
"Daddy, you have to control your appetite, look at how fat you have become!" At the dinner table, looking at Jiang Xiaobai, who was eating pig's trotters with a mouth full of oil, Jiang Ling'er muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Little girl, you know what, your father is not fat because he eats too much. "Indeed, the reason why Jiang Xiaobai is so fat is because he ate too many genius earth treasures and elixirs when he was in the Seven Spirit Sect back then, resulting in too much spiritual power accumulated in his body.
In fact, in the past three years, Jiang Xiaobai has been slowly refining the backlog of spiritual power in his body, and he has lost much weight compared to before.
"But you see other people's fathers are so thin, so slim, and so good-looking. Jiang Ling'er continued.
"Hey... I say you're a little thing! Looks like you're disgusted with your daddy. Can they compare with me with those bamboo poles!, are they as wise and martial as me!" Jiang Xiaobai put down the pig's trotters in his hand and said with a straight face.
"Wise and martial? But I think Daddy is very similar to ......" Jiang Ling'er rolled her big smart eyes and stopped talking.
"Little thing, don't sell it! Tell me what Daddy looks like!"
"Hehe~ Don't be angry, Daddy, Ling'er just wants to tell the truth. ”
Looking at Jiang Ling'er's ghostly appearance, Jiang Xiaobai had a faint bad premonition in his heart.
"Haha~ Ling'er feels that Daddy is very much like the body of the thing on the table. After speaking, Jiang Ling'er quickly skewered down the dining table and ran out of the dining room like a cunning little fox.
"On the table...?" Jiang Xiaobai looked down and found that there was nothing on the table except for the pig's trotter that he hadn't finished gnawing on.
"Little thing! you dare to point at Sang and scold Huai!"
