Chapter 170: The Legend of the Demon Ancestor
"Dead?!"
As soon as Seventh Grandpa's words came out, Miao Ying screamed.
Although Miao Village is not as good as those big cities, there are tens of thousands of people, and half of them have died in just three years?
"How did they all die?"
Feng Zhengsu was also shocked in his heart, half of the people died, it may not be uncommon when the cataclysm just happened, but now, it is a disaster.
"Every full moon night, there will be a tide of beasts, and countless demon beasts will run out of the mountains and forests, including those who are usually very close to us, and will also slaughter the people in our village together."
Grandpa Seven sighed and told the reason.
"Beast tide?"
Hearing these two words, Feng Zhengsu suddenly frowned, "Are you sure it's the beast tide?" ”
The so-called beast tide is that all the surrounding demon beasts gather together, and then attack the human race frantically.
It can be said that the beast tide is actually a war launched by the demon race against the human race!
However, the infighting between the demon clans is actually more powerful than that of the human race, because the law of survival of demon beasts is actually the law of the forest of the jungle, and to put it bluntly, it is the relationship of the food chain.
Therefore, the hatred between many demon beasts is no weaker than the hatred between human races that kills their fathers and wives.
Therefore, the beast tide has always been a legendary thing, and under normal circumstances, it simply cannot happen.
Unless......
Feng Zhengsu thought of the two necessary conditions for the outbreak of the beast tide.
First, the demon clan is facing the crisis of extinction, but the king has appeared in the demon clan.
Only when the Demon King appears, it will be possible to unite all the demon beasts.
But it's not right, if there is a demon king, Miao Zhai is afraid that everyone in Miao Village will die.
You must know that the demon king is at least a heavenly demon with heaven-level strength, and in the entire Miao Village, except for Miao Ying, who has a high-level strength of the Xuan level, the highest strength of the others is the seventh grandfather in front of him, the yellow-level high-level.
"Alas, create evil, three days later, the Huashan Festival will be held in the village, I have calculated, that day is also the night of the full moon, I don't know how many people will die in the beast tide this time." Seventh Grandpa sighed and said worriedly.
"Will that old turtle in the river be affected by the beast tide?"
After thinking about it, Feng Zhengsu hurriedly asked.
"No, Master Turtle has never been affected." Seventh Grandpa hurriedly replied.
Feng Zhengsu snorted, and said in his heart that the demon king was estimated to not be able to affect other demons with strength above the heaven level.
"Now that you know that there will be a beast tide on the night of the full moon, why do you have to hold that Huashan Festival?"
Then, Feng Zhengsu asked again.
Several old people glanced at each other, and they all sighed helplessly, and finally the seventh grandfather explained, "We don't want to hold the Huashan Festival, but if we don't hold it, the whole village, I'm afraid that no one will survive." ”
"Why is that?"
Feng Zhengsu asked incomprehensibly.
"You know what the Huashan Festival is all about, right?" Grandpa Seven didn't answer right away, but asked rhetorically.
Feng Zhengsu nodded, "I know a little, it is one of the important festivals of your Miao people, and there are competitions such as pole climbing, horse racing, archery, singing, dancing, beauty pageants, oh, and finding a mate." ”
"Well, what you said is good, but we are the descendants of the Jiuli clan, in addition to what you said, we will also select the heirs of Jiuli and the saint at the Huashan Festival."
Grandpa Seventh hummed and said.
Feng Zhengsu's gaze turned to Miao Ying, "She is already a saint, so there is no need to choose a saint again." ”
Grandpa Seventh waved his hand, "The firefly girl hasn't been back to the village for three years, and at this Huashan Festival, there will definitely be other girls who will challenge her." ”
"Okay, it seems that your Holy Maiden and the descendants of Jiuli are competing for the top position." Feng Zhengsu chuckled.
"Yes, but you don't know, the saints and descendants of our Jiuli clan are different from other Miao villages, in addition to leading and managing our Miao villages, they also have a very important mission."
Seventh Grandpa nodded, and then said.
"Mission, mission?" Feng Zhengsu asked puzzled.
"Go to the ancestral land of Jiuli to worship, and get the inheritance of Jiuli ancestors." Seventh Grandpa's cloudy eyes condensed slightly, and said.
"Jiuli Ancestral Land?" Feng Zhengsu frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, Jiuli Ancestral Land should be the mausoleum of your ancestors, and your ancestors' reputation is not very good." ”
"Hehe, the winner is the king, the loser is the villain, what happened to our ancestors, only we Miao people know." Grandpa Seven smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.
"The important thing is that the firefly girl became a saint three years ago, but there has been no suitable candidate for the heirs of Jiuli, and the Huashan Festival three days later is exactly the millennium period of our Jiuli clan, if the saint and the heirs of Jiuli cannot successfully obtain the inheritance in the ancestral land of Jiuli, our Jiuli clan will perish."
Immediately after, Seventh Grandpa said again.
Feng Zhengsu was confused when he listened, "A thousand-year period? Inheritance? ”
"After the death of our ancestors, every thousand years, their spirits will awaken and let the saints and the descendants of Jiuli enter the ancestral land to obtain inheritance.
Of course, it is not so simple to obtain the inheritance, and there are many tests to go through, and if we fail to pass the tests, the spirits of the ancestors will be angry and feel that we are not worthy to be their descendants.
Our ancestors would rather let us die at their hands than at the hands of others, so the ancestors will destroy us themselves. ”
Grandpa Seven continued with a somewhat painful expression.
"What kind of ancestor is that!"
Hearing him say this, Feng Zhengsu couldn't help but scold.
"Hehe, you don't know anything about the afterlife, our ancestors have a nickname." Grandpa Seven smiled bitterly.
"What's the nickname?"
Feng Zhengsu frowned.
"Demon Ancestor." Seventh Grandpa said.
"Demon Ancestor?!"
Feng Zhengsu was shocked, "You mean, more than 5,000 years ago, the one who fought with the Human Emperor was your ancestor?" ”
"Yes, that's him."
Seventh Grandpa nodded and said.
Feng Zhengsu took a deep breath: "Okay, I know who your ancestors are. ”
After a pause, his eyes froze, and his gaze turned to Miao Ying and said, "Don't worry, this time, you will definitely get the inheritance, although you hold the Huashan Festival, I can protect your safety." ”
"You?"
Seventh Grandpa said in disbelief: "Housheng, can you really help us?" ”
Feng Zheng Su Zhengse said: "There is nothing to be afraid of the beast tide, as long as your Jiuli heir is reliable, I guarantee that he can pass the test with Miao Ying." ”
"Housheng, you are serious!"
Several old men in the bamboo building stood up at the same time and said excitedly.
Feng Zhengsu nodded, "You can let the people in the village prepare for the Huashan Festival now, and you don't have to worry about the beast tide anymore." ”
"Okay, if you can really help us survive this catastrophe, our whole clan will build a temple and a monument for you!"
Seventh Grandpa said excitedly.
The corners of Feng Zhengsu's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't, it's not like that, okay, don't talk nonsense, pick a few people to go with me, I'll go and solve the problem of the beast tide for you now." ”
The beast tide is actually very easy to solve, as long as you find the demon king who is directing the demon beast behind your back, and then get rid of the demon king.
"I'll gather the whole village now, and you'll be at your disposal!"
Although I don't know what Feng Zhengsu is going to do and how to do it, he is now the only lifesaver in the entire Miao Village, so I can only trust him.
Moreover, Grandpa Seventh could see that Feng Zhengsu, a young man who looked young on the surface, may have an extraordinary background.
You know, the title of the Demon Ancestor was only known by their ancestors, but he seemed to have known this title for a long time.
"Well, go ahead, the sooner the better, it's still early, if there is the right person, you can leave before dark."
Feng Zhengsu nodded and said.
"Firefly girl, you should accompany the adults here first, and a few of us will go and gather the people in the village now."
Seventh Grandpa hurriedly said to Miao Ying.
"Wait, old man, in fact, you don't have to be so troublesome, just notify those who are running for the heirs of Jiuli, there is no need to gather the people of the whole village."
Feng Zhengsu reminded.
Several old men were stunned for a moment, and then reacted and said: "Yes, yes, I am all confused, and the descendants who are qualified to run for the heirs of Jiuli are already the best men in our village." ”
Feng Zhengsu smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything more.
"You seem to be familiar with my ancestors, the Emperor of People, the Emperor of the Wind? Is there a relationship between you? ”
As soon as the seventh grandfather and them left, Miao Ying couldn't help but ask.
She knew that Feng Zhengsu seemed to have the identity of a wind queen.
