Chapter 286: The Unexpected and the Unexpected
Then a furry palm pinched his nose.
When he woke up again, it was a dark cavern with the smell of earth in the air and a babbling river in his ears. An arm gripped him tightly.
He tried to turn over, but found that he couldn't move anywhere. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he found that he was tightly bound to a flat stone that glowed.
And a woman beside her, who exuded the fragrance of gardenias, stared at herself, and two tears dripped from her amber pupils.
"Water...", Liu Zihan smiled and opened his mouth forcefully.
Then a beautiful woman picked up his kettle from a nearby stone and poured a fresh and sweet stream of water into his mouth.
Half a day later, Liu Zihan recovered and tidied up his clothes. Although his body was wrapped in thick bandages, and his blood was insufficient, his spirit was surprisingly good.
The giant rat man who had been rescued at the Ancestral Altar before walked over and saluted Liu Zihan and Murong Yue with a fist: "I am Rat Luo, the son of the chief of the Ice Rat Man, thank you for saving me!" ”
Unlike the last time I saw it, the whole body was gray and the hair was dry, the current giant rat man exuded a rich aura all over his body, and his hair was also snow-white. He was dressed in a light green robe embellished with silver runes, and he looked suave.
"Rat Luo? Good name! Murong Yue's expression was radiant as she spoke, as if she had discovered a mysterious treasure.
The next moment, she couldn't help but lean towards this snow-white hairy ball of flesh, playing with his nose and small ears with her hands.
"It's so itchy... You dodge .... Hee-hee-hee", Rat Luo let out a series of playful laughs, his mouth wide open, his tail sweeping around the ground, and it could be seen that he was also very happy inside.
"Hmm... Thank you for saving my family! On the side, a bloated ice ratman in a blue robe and an emerald crown watched in amazement. After a long pause, he smiled at Liu Zihan and said, "Since Concubine Luo died in battle, Luo'er hasn't been so happy for a long time. ”
"I don't know what happened to the two adults when they came to the Frozen Abyss?" An old man in a sacrificial robe standing behind the Ice Rat Chief leaned over and whispered to Liu Zihan.
He saw Liu Zihan's puzzled eyes and continued, "Oh, I'm Mu Yi, the High Priest of the Ice Rat People Tribe, a wandering poet and His Royal Highness Rat Luo's personal teacher. ”
"You're a Terran?" Liu Zihan looked the old man up and down, as if he had found something terrible, and blurted out.
"Yes, I'm just like you, I'm a Terran!" Mu Yi nodded in a low voice, and a trace of sadness suddenly appeared on his face, as if he recalled something sad. He turned to Liu Zihan and said, "If you're here to look for the ice lizardman, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." ”
"The current ice lizardmen are completely different from the previous generation, or rather, they have become tyrannical after changing their patriarchs."
He glanced at Liu Zihan, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "I'm afraid that the snake king of the ice and snow path was cleaned up by the two adults, right?" ”
"Not bad! It is exactly what we wiped out .... Ay! It's all in the past! ”
Liu Zihan heard the taste of ridicule in his words, and thought of the ice lizardman's various actions towards him, which must be a knife killing technique. A wry smile also appeared on his face, and he shook his hand vigorously.
"Lord Xiangbi also knows that this is the ice lizard man to eradicate the dissidents! Of course, the removal of the Snake King is also a favor to the Ice Rat Man, and even more so for Zaixia. After all, the snake king wanted to attack Zaixia, and Concubine Luo was unfortunate in order to save Zaixia
Difficult... Adults are above, please accept the next bow! ”
Liu Zihan stretched out his arm, but he couldn't block it. With a "poof", Mu Yi knelt on the ground and gave Liu Zihan a big gift in a dignified manner.
"However, ordinary flying snakes are no threat to ice lizards. These flying snakes have all been wiped out, making it unpredictable. If it was purely revenge, then it would be reasonable that most of their bodies should have been left in place or abandoned. Even if it is used as a ration, it will be stripped on the spot. And it won't be hard work, and all the corpses will be dragged away without falling! ”
Mu Yi stroked his sparse beard, frowned, and muttered to himself.
"I actually saw a kind of rune circle in their cave, because it was too far away and the location was too secret to tell which one it was. Is it possible that it is a teleportation circle material? ”
When Murong Yue heard this pedantic old man, she was very curious and admired about his adventure experience. She narrowed her eyes, remembered for a moment, and whispered.
"Woo-woo," Rat Lo said, sitting on her side, her mouth wide open, growling.
And Murong Yue, like a big sister, stuffed the small dried fish in the backpack into Rat Luo's mouth. The other hand stroked the silky hairs on his head.
"The materials of the circle? No! No! No! Nikanado doesn't have such a circle! Mu Yi closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head vigorously.
"What if it's a circle outside of Nikanado?" Liu Zihan raised his head and looked at the old man with a smile.
"Shhhh A circle other than Nikanado? ... The Eye of Truth? ... No way! Mu Yi took a sharp breath, his face changed drastically, he muttered a name, and then shook his head wildly, trying to expel this bold idea.
"What is the Eye of Truth?" Murong Yue turned her head curiously and asked softly. She was very curious about this thing that made Mu Yi shocked.
It seemed that the Ice Ratman Chief was also interested in this strange talk, and he just wanted to get up and sit back again, his eyes glinting.
"Hey, it's okay, it's just not suitable here...", Mu Yi sighed, glanced at the Ice Rat Chief, and said helplessly.
"Oh... Oh, it's cold! Bring the brazier to the Lone King's bedroom! After a moment's hesitation, the Ice Rat Chief understood, and there were many people in the hall. And what the high priest said must be explosive news! His eyes flashed with excitement, and he shouted to the henchmen beside him. "Send someone to guard the Lone King's bedroom, and the Lone King will have a long talk with several benefactors all night!"
"Yes! Subordinates obey! The henchman understood, and commanded two of his men to move the stove to the chief's chamber, and laid a defensive line with five steps and ten steps and a sentry.
It seems that he knows that what the chief is talking about this time is more mysterious, and that there are human lords, and the chief and His Highness are not in danger of life. The nearest sentry was removed.
After a short time, the crowd sat cross-legged on fur-covered chairs and listened to the story of the wandering poet.
The Eye of Truth exists only in the oral legends of the wandering poets. Neither the Kunpeng Divine See nor the Ebony Totem Shaman of Nicanado recognized it, nor even in any of the ancient books, let alone in the libraries of the Academy.
The reason why it has been passed down is because of the sun! Nicanado's day and night were six nights followed by one day. However, the vast and complicated records recorded by those stargazers prove that there is a pattern of this day and night. It's like it's spinning around something.
This doubt lasted among stargazers for hundreds of years, until the birth of a great stargazer, Copnicus, who was frozen by setting himself in the ice tundra
Dozens of observation points in the cliffs, the kingdom of snowfall, and the temple of falling snow, thirty years of continuous observation, have come to a bold inference.
He reported his findings to the Holy See, and instead of flowers and approvals, he was arrested and imprisoned for his heretical teachings, convicted by the Inquisition, and finally burned to death on a day when the sun shone on Nicanado.
The matter seemed to be over, but soon the Holy See split into two parts: the Kunpeng Cult and the Ebony Totem. They all say that they are authentic, with a history of thousands of years, and the congregations are also pouring into each other and crusading against each other!
This led to secular strife, and the original kingdom of Snowfall was eventually divided into three kingdoms.
Despite this, both religious and royal attitudes towards Gopernica were surprisingly consistent.
They burned his reports and research manuscripts, destroyed the observatories set up everywhere, and ordered orders forbidding speculation and questioning of his religion.
No observation of the sacred sun! Otherwise, it is disrespectful! All of them will be burned to death! It became the law of Nicanado.
After burning to death the last few stargazers who were secretly watching, it seems that no one in Nicanado would ever dare to touch the law again.
After an endless period of time, these have been gradually diluted by the world. Only a few words still exist in the chanting of the wandering poet.
And those scattered words were recorded by a hermit sect, who called this secret the Eye of Truth. And the one among them who really holds the evidence is called true cultivation.
"Huh? ... Are you a member of the hermit sect? Murong Yue's eyes flashed with little stars, and she asked with a look of adoration.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yi shook his head and resolutely denied, "No! ”
"Oh! So you don't know the conclusion that Copolanica came up with? Murong Yue threw a bombshell again.
"I don't know." Mu Yi sighed and shook his head again.
"But you know the eye of truth."
"Yes, I know."
Then Mu Yi and Murong Yue looked at each other and smiled. The chief of the ice rat man behind him nodded to each other with Liu Zihan.
Rat Luo may be too young to tell what these adults are talking about. When he looked at his father like a plea for help, he ushered in a cold sentence, "Don't think about this, children, you will understand when you grow up." ”
"Oh!" Rat Luo sniffled vigorously and whispered.
At that moment, a soldier rushed in from outside the door. He shouted, "Report to the chief! Urgent! ”
Then he was stopped by a line of guards.
"Get out of the way! Urgent! I want to see the chief! The man yelled and forced his way this way.
The Ice Rat Chief glanced at the man, then waved at the soldiers, and said in a deep voice, "Let him in!"
"Yes!" Platoons of guards backed away to get out of the way.
The man with three scars on his face glanced at Murong Yue and Liu Zihan. Then he looked at the Ice Rat Chief, and after getting his permission, he whispered, "Back to the Chief!" Two Terran men and... He and the Ebony Totem Black-clothed Guard came to the Frozen Abyss, and now they are being besieged by the Ice Lizard Arrow Array, and I am afraid that it will soon be consumed! ”
When they heard the Terran man and the ebony totem, Murong Yue and Liu Zihan stood up suddenly. They glanced at each other and knew that it was Qin Hao and Pei Yao who had successfully formed an alliance and came to support.
He bowed and said, "Chief, those two Terrans are our leaders, and the black-clad guards they lead have allied themselves with us. I beg Your Majesty to rescue them quickly! ”
