Chapter 43: The Origin of the Half-Demon Werewolf
In fact, the Head Wolf Gang is not an ordinary gang, but a huge clan with thousands of people, and everyone in the gang is a member of the Murong clan. The biggest secret of the Wolf Gang is that they are not normal humans, strictly speaking, they should be called half-demons.
More than 300 years ago, the area around Guanyin Mountain suffered from severe drought and plague, and the tribe where the Murong clan lived was located not far from Guanyin Mountain. It is said that they have lived here for thousands of years and are one of the earliest aborigines in the area of Guanyin Mountain. Therefore, when the drought first broke out, the tribal patriarch was reluctant to lead the tribesmen out of this homeland, they thought they could survive, but they did not expect to miss the best opportunity to flee.
As more and more people in the tribe are killed by drought and plague, a mysterious man finds them. This mysterious man has the face of a wolf, he claims to be a heavenly wolf who can save the tribe's people, and the only requirement is that the Murong clan needs to sign a blood contract with him. At that time, the tribal patriarch had to agree to the Celestial Wolf's request in order to keep the clan alive, but the Celestial Wolf did not tell them what the price of signing the blood pact was.
On the night when he signed the blood pact with the Sky Wolf, a blood-red full moon appeared in the gloomy sky. The moonlight reflected the earth red, and everyone in the Murong clan was shrouded in the blood-red moonlight. That night, all the clansmen of the Murong tribe turned into half-wolf and half-human monsters, and the wolf howl resounded throughout the valley, and blood rained in the sky.
The day after the blood contract was signed, the clansmen returned to their normal appearance again, and the mysterious wolf disappeared. However, to the satisfaction of the patriarch, the clansmen of the Murong tribe all survived by relying on this blood rain, and even those who had been infected with the plague were cured after drinking the blood rain. In order to thank the wolf for saving his life, the people also replaced the totem of the tribe with a huge wolf head.
But since then, a blood-red full moon would appear in the sky above the Murong tribe every night, and every time the blood moon rose, all the clansmen had to suffer the pain of transformation. When they change from human bodies to werewolf bodies, it is as if the bones of their bodies have been forcibly broken and then put back together. What's even more terrifying is that after the tribesmen become werewolves, their personalities will also become violent and bloodthirsty, and even cannibalism will occur.
In order to prevent the tribesmen from killing each other because of their transformation, the patriarch led the group to build many thick iron chains, and asked everyone to lock themselves in chains before transforming every night.
These painful days lasted for a long time, until one day when the drought suddenly disappeared and a heavy rain fell in the sky. From that day on, the blood-red full moon never appeared again. The people of the tribe were happy to think that the torture of transformation was over, and everyone finally returned to normal life, but what they didn't expect was that this peace did not last long.
It was a full moon night, and although the moon was not blood-red, the people of the Murong tribe still transformed that night. In this transformation, they did not kill each other, but attacked a village a few miles away in an organized and disciplined manner.
At that time, not long after the plague ended, there were very few residents in the villages around Guanyin Mountain, and that night, the tribesmen of the Murong tribe slaughtered all the residents of this village and ate them, leaving not a single living mouth. After dawn the next day, the tribesmen recalled the atrocities of the previous night, and all of them were horrified and chagrined.
In order to appease the people and cover up the crime, the patriarch had to gather all the members of the tribe and announce several prohibitions: first, no one was allowed to tell the events of that night; Second, it is even more impossible to pass on the secret of the transformation of the clansmen; The third is that in order to keep the tribe's secrets, the Murong tribe is strictly forbidden to intermarry with the outside world from now on!
But even after the ban was issued, the question of the transformation on the night of the full moon still haunted all the tribesmen. In order to avoid the recurrence of the atrocities, the tribesmen had to find the chains again and lock themselves in their homes before the full moon each time.
The patriarch knew that they had become what they were because of the blood contract they had signed with the wolf, and if they wanted to return to normal, they had to terminate the blood contract with the wolf. It's a pity that since the blood contract was signed, the sky wolf has never appeared again, and the patriarch has tried to summon the sky wolf with an ancient psychic ritual, but in the end it was unsuccessful. As a result, the patriarch had no choice but to send a large number of clansmen to various places to look for clues related to the Heavenly Wolf or the Blood Contract, trying to find a way to terminate the Blood Contract through some clues.
Later, several people from the Murong tribe found Shangxian Village here. When these Murong people came to Shangxian Village, they felt a huge energy fluctuation, especially when they approached a well in the village, they found that this huge energy could actually echo with a force in their bodies. They felt that the well in Shangxian Village must be hiding a secret related to them, so they wanted to dive into the bottom of the well to find the source of this energy.
But the Murong people didn't expect that when they were preparing to act, they were forcibly blocked by the villagers, who drove them angrily as if they wanted to protect some shocking secret, wanting to drive the Murong people out of the village. After the entanglement failed, the two groups finally broke out into a conflict. In the face of the angry siege of the villagers, the anger of the Murong people was also aroused, and they relied on the energy that echoed the well, and they actually transformed in a non-full moon night!
The villagers were frightened and frightened by several powerful bloodthirsty werewolves, but they did not budge in the slightest. Eventually, the fight alarmed the Warlock from Kamihan Village, who arrived and subdued several werewolves, who returned to their normal appearances. The werewolf secrets of the Murong tribe could no longer be hidden, and these Murong people finally told the warlock all the causes and consequences of the incident.
The warlock did not hold them accountable, but let them go, and who knew that it didn't take long for the patriarch of the Murong tribe to personally bring someone to the door. However, this time he did not come to the door to ask for trouble, but to ask the warlock to help them break the blood contract.
The Warlock didn't know the origin of the mysterious wolf, but he had heard rumors about the blood pact. The general blood contract is the life and death contract of symbiosis and coexistence signed between the demon race and the human race, after signing the contract, the demon race will meet some of the wishes of the human race, and in return, the demon race will fuse its spiritual blood into the human body, and these people will become the carrier of the demon race in this world. The human beings who sign a contract with the demon clan are equivalent to becoming the descendants of the demon clan, becoming a half-human and half-demon existence, once the contract relationship is formed, the descendants of the human race will live with this bloodline. As for how to break this contract, the warlock did not know.
The patriarch of the Murong tribe has been looking for so long and has not found any clues about the blood contract, and this time when he heard the warlock say so much, it was like grasping a life-saving straw, and they asked the warlock to help them. Moreover, the patriarch heard about the well in Shangxian Village, and wanted the warlock to use the energy of the well to help them find a way.
Faced with the bitter pleading of the patriarch of the Murong tribe, the warlock had no choice but to tell him the secret in the well. It turned out that there was a formation eye hidden under the well in Shangxian Village, and the energy felt by the Murong people was emitted by the water spirit stone in the array eye. The huge water spirit power contained in this water spirit stone corresponds to the power of the moon yin, so they should have been affected by the water spirit stone so that they can transform in a non-full moon night.
In the end, the patriarch of the Murong tribe said that even if there was no way to break the blood contract, it was okay to find a way to control the transformation independently, so that the pain and impact caused by the uncontrolled transformation on the night of the full moon would be avoided.
For the patriarch's request, the warlock finally agreed after thinking about it, he asked the Murong patriarch to go back first, and he would spend three days to find a way to help the Murong clan control the transformation.
When the patriarch heard the warlock's promise, he went back full of joy, and three days later, the patriarch came to Shangxian Village on time to find the warlock. When he saw the warlock again, he pulled out a crystal ball that was more than a foot long. This crystal ball looked like a shrunken moon, and all the Murong people present could feel the tremendous energy contained in the crystal ball.
The warlock told them that this crystal ball was made by him according to the method of refining the Water Spirit Stone Rune, and that it was also refined with a spar similar to the Water Spirit Stone. The Warlock uses a spell to connect the Crystal Ball to the Water Spirit Stone Rune, so it can be echoed with the Water Spirit Stone Rune wherever it is. As long as there is no problem with the Water Spirit Stone Talisman, the Murong Clan can obtain a part of the energy of the Water Spirit Stone Talisman on this crystal ball at any time. The premise is that the energy coverage of this crystal ball is only a hundred kilometers, and without this range, the Murong people will no longer be able to use the crystal ball to control the transformation.
Speaking of which, Murong Qingtian basically finished telling the secrets of the Murong clan and their relationship with the String Moon Array. In the end, Murong Qingtian told Wu Wei that the crystal ball was only a medium to connect the Water Spirit Stone Runes after all, so the energy transformed was limited, which also caused their power to be greatly reduced after transformation.
Wu Wei was shocked after listening to Murong Qingtian's story, he didn't expect the Head Wolf Gang to have such a shocking secret. He asked, "Then why didn't you continue to live at Guanyin Mountain, but ran to Guancheng?" ”
Murong Qingtian replied, "The secret of transforming into a werewolf has been spread, so naturally it will be rejected by the locals, and it will also cause too much trouble. So we decided to move our family, and we came to live in this place where no one knew us, and then we formed the Wolf Gang here. ”
Speaking of this, Murong Qingtian sighed and said, "In order to cover up our secrets, the Wolf Gang has always been very low-key. During my reign, I did not allow any member of the clan to clash with other forces, and I would never allow them to transform if they were not a threat to their lives. It's a pity that my eldest son, Murong Lingxiao, didn't listen to the advice after inheriting the position of gang leader, and had a conflict with the Blue Sky Group, which led to his end in a different place. ”
Wu Wei knew that Murong Lingxiao, the previous leader of the Wolf Gang, was killed by Long Bo, so when Murong Qingtian said these words, he didn't know how to respond.
Murong Qingtian seemed to see Wu Wei's concerns, so he smiled and said to him: "I am already old, and I have long seen the disputes between the rivers and lakes, let them solve the grievances of the younger generation by themselves, although the pain of losing a child is very sad, but I will not personally intervene to find others to take revenge, not to mention that this tragedy is also my son's own fault." ”
Hearing Murong Qingtian say this, Wu Wei didn't know how to comfort him, so he raised his glass and toasted Murong Qingtian with a glass of wine.
After drinking, Wu Wei said: "I am indeed working on Lan Mingyu's side now, but I am only responsible for the safety of his youngest daughter, as for the battle between human forces, I will never participate in it." ”
Murong Qingtian smiled and said, "That's good, but with Mr. Xiao Wu's current ability, even if you don't want to find trouble, it is difficult to avoid things coming to you." ”
Wu Wei also smiled and said: "Then I have to be a soft egg when I encounter something, avoid it if I can, and hide it if I can!" ”
After Wu Wei said this, the old and the young laughed at the same time.
After laughing, Murong Qingtian said: "After all, the battle between human beings is a trivial matter, and the matter about the official seal mountain seal you said is the most important thing!" On the last full moon night, some members of our clan couldn't control their transformation, and when I checked the crystal ball, I found that the energy fluctuations inside had weakened for some reason. The man I sent to check on the village came back and told me that the water in the well had become very muddy, and the frogs in the water had died, and I suspected that something was wrong with the eye of the array that had caused the energy of the crystal ball to weaken. The man I sent was also afraid that the water would be poisonous, so he didn't go into the water to check it, but he came back with a cup of well water, and it didn't take long for the chickens to die after I let the well water drink, which showed that the well water was indeed poisonous. ”
Wu Wei frowned after hearing this, and he thought in his heart: "The String Moon Array protects Shangxian Village from being violated by the Demon Clan and the Lu Dao, if there is a problem with the Array, in addition to the Murong Clan's troubles, I'm afraid the villagers will also be in danger." ”
