"The gods and ancient cultivators have suffered countless casualties, and the people are struggling to survive." There was a depth in the mysterious man's voice, and I asked, "Who won in the end?" β
"Of course it's the god of justice in the fairy world!" The mysterious man said categorically, suddenly amplified his voice, startling all of us, it is not difficult to see that this mysterious man has an indescribable special emotion for the ancient war he said, "If it is so easy to let those evil ancient cultivators win, then where is the essence of the immortal world?" There is a good saying, evil cannot prevail over good! No matter how powerful the evil forces are, they are the evil side after all, and they are affected by the Heavenly Dao and cannot exert their full strength, so those ancient cultivators were completely annihilated, and peace has been restored to the world since then. β
I was a little fascinated by this story.
"To get back to the point, this Royal Realm Desert wants to be a fairy's back garden, called the Royal Realm, that battle was too fierce, the owner of the back garden died directly, and this garden began to fall into the world at that time, Huawei has a large desert, and since then I have renamed this place the Royal Boundary Desert." The mysterious man continued.
"Oh......" I nodded, "there are still three things I don't know. β
"What's the matter? Let's say, for countless years, I haven't even had anyone to talk to, and I'm very lonely. The mysterious man paused, and said in the sky.
"Thank you, senior, the first thing is, who are you? Why are you stuck here; The second thing is who is the Grim Reaper of the Desert, and the Lord of the Desert whom you call him, and it seems that you know him; The third thing is what is buried underneath, and the younger generations are indeed here for the treasure below. Listening to the tone of this mysterious man, as if there was no ill will towards us, I said bluntly.
"You still have a lot of questions." The mysterious old man said, "I am actually a guardian of the back garden of the gods, because my master died, most of my divine consciousness was wiped out, and my vitality was greatly damaged, and I have been staying in this royal desolate beach to meditate on my divine consciousness, until one day, a man named Xu Fu came here to find this place, buried some things in the center of this desert, and then he found me, and forced me to make a vow after subduing me, and bound me here without leaving half a step." β
"What? Are you trapped here by Xu Fu? "I'm a little confused, according to Master, Xu Gai my ancestor, I can't call Xu Fu by his name, but I can hear from this mysterious person's mouth that he hates Xu Fu, so I'd better dissociate myself from that Xu Fu, so as not to burn myself.
"Yes, a thousand years ago, my vitality was greatly injured and cultivated here, because of the fall of this place, the spiritual energy continued to drain out, and there was almost no spiritual energy at all, so my recovery speed was too slow, and after cultivating for tens of thousands of years, my cultivation could not advance half a step, and that battle lasted for tens of thousands of years, I was already a soldier, if any ancient cultivator saw me, he would wipe out my true spirit, so I tended to be helpless, and I had to stay here to death. It wasn't until a thousand years ago that Xu Fu came over and saw that my vitality cultivation was seriously injured, and he subdued me with three strokes and two strokes, forcing me to guard the treasure here for him, if this treasure is not taken away for a day, I will not be able to get out of the shackles for a day. β
"That. βDo you know what's buried underneath? I hurriedly asked.
"I don't know." The mysterious man replied categorically, "That treasure is well hidden, and because of the oath, I have no way to go and see it, as long as I get forward, there will be a repulsive force that will repel me." β
"Make a vow? What's the use of that? There are so many people who have sworn that even if they break their vows, it should be fine. Qinglong said with some puzzlement. Qinglong is right, there are many people who have sworn this year, and there are five thunders and thunders on any day, but there is nothing wrong with violating the oath.
"You're not moving." Huang Tieshan replied on behalf of the mysterious old man, "It doesn't matter if this oath is made by mortals, even if it is violated, but this senior must be ranked in the immortal class, it can be said that a gentleman is quick to say a word, if he violates it without authorization after making an oath, he will die." Huang Tieshan raised his head and shouted to the sky, "I'm right, senior?" β
"You're right, I didn't expect you to know so much, and it seems that you are dressed a little differently from other people."
"Senior, I am a cultivator, but I don't cultivate immortals, only self-cultivation." Huang Tieshan replied. At this time, Huang Tieshan was wearing his yellow Taoist robe that was already tattered and patched everywhere, and it seemed that the mysterious guardian could see our appearance, which made my expression become serious.
"Oh, that's it." The mysterious old man muttered in a low voice, "No wonder you are dressed differently from others, it turns out that all cultivators now wear such clothes, and they have been taught." "The mysterious old man has been lonely here for too long, and he has no way to contact the outside world, so he doesn't know much about many things in the outside world.
"And who is the Desert Reaper?" I got down to business and asked.
The mysterious guardian said, "The aura of this place was constantly draining out, which made a lot of strange insects and beasts find this place and gather, which is also the reason why there are more poisonous snakes in this place than in other places, and it is not only strange insects and beasts that can perceive the aura to find it, but also some special life, the desert death you are talking about is a special life, what they are best at is demagogic behavior, leading people's behavior, and then turning people into puppets, and finally even if the flesh is rotten, The bones of the whole body are at the mercy of the god of death. The Mystic Guardian explained to us.
At this time, I was a little puzzled, "But this place is deserted now, and I can't feel the aura at all, why don't these desert reapers?" Why do they go to the tribe again and again to harass them? β
The mysterious guardian sighed lightly and said, "If you want to say when this desert god of death came, you have to start from more than nine hundred years ago, nine hundred years ago, the aura here was still very sufficient, since they came, the aura here has lost faster, the desert god of death is naturally fond of killing, once I was a very good friend, one day he asked why I was here, I told the lord of the desert about my identity and the battle of the ancients, after the lord of the desert heard about it, he took advantage of my defenselessness, Sneaking into the place where the treasure is hidden in the center of the desert, I was immediately attacked by the oath, and I threw the Lord of the Desert out at all costsβ and when the Lord of the Desert came out, his eyes were full of confusion. β
"Didn't the Lord of the Desert see the treasure within?" I asked.
"No, although that Xu Fu is young, but the Tao is definitely not shallow, he has set up a series of mechanisms in it, ordinary people have absolutely no way to enter, and the powerful Lord of the Desert has no way to do anything about those mechanisms, the Lord of the Desert is a special life with strong curiosity, very stubborn, if he doesn't get these treasures to explore, he can't sleep well for a dayβ day he wants to forcibly break the mechanism below, and I stopped him, because my mission is to protect the treasures here, Then guide the right person to take the contents inside, if these treasures are taken away by the Lord of the Desert like this, I will be considered to have broken my oathβ although the Lord of the Desert is good at demagoguery and creating quicksand spiral nests, but he can't help me, and he won't tear his face with me at all, so the two of us reached an agreement, only after he gets the Stygian Stone, he can come here and take the treasure, otherwise he will not be allowed to get half a step near the center of the desert for life. β
"Oh......" This story, I was in a bit of a trance when I listened to it, "Then dare to ask the seniors, this little dark stone has been kept by the natives of the tribe for generations, why hasn't the powerful desert lord gotten it for thousands of years?" β
"Hahahaha......" Hearing this, the mysterious guardian suddenly laughed, "This is the shortcoming of the Lord of the Desert, the Lord of the Desert is a special life, and it can be regarded as a rank in the immortal class not to break his oath, at that time, we made an oath that we must not get the Stygian Stone by ourselves, so he can only send his own wine bags and rice bags to get the Stygian Stone, but it is also a coincidence, his subordinates return in vain every time." β
"But...... But why are there so many of his subordinates? I remember what we saw that night, there were definitely hundreds of thousands of skeletons! β
"This is the method of the Lord of the Desert, his method is to deceive people's hearts, you have already fallen into the illusion of the Lord of the Desert invisibly, what skeletons and other things you see, they are all fake, how can the Lord of the Desert be so powerful, there are hundreds of thousands of subordinates? There are only a few hundred people in this desert who have been fascinated by him, right? β
"That'...... That is to say, the Black Sand people we saw for the first time were also fake? I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.
"Yes, any Black Sand people you have seen are fake, they are just your hallucinations, if I am not mistaken, the tribes on the oasis now, the houses should be intact."
The mysterious guardian said as Qinglong translated for Moose and the others, and when Moose and the others heard this, their eyes burst out with a fiery gaze, and they hurriedly asked, "That." βWill our patriarch still be alive? β
"This ......," the mysterious guardian hesitated, "probably alive." β
When I heard this, I was stunned directly, it is absolutely impossible for the rickety old man to be alive, because the dream I had that night was entrusted to me by the rickety patriarch, and the living can only entrust the dream to others unless they have a great way, and the rickety patriarch is just a skinny eighty-year-old man, so from this point it can be concluded that the patriarch is dead.
Hearing this, everyone showed happy eyes, only I kept shaking my head on the side, not wanting to spoil their happy atmosphere, and the mysterious guardian saw my strange expression, and said in the sky, "What's wrong?" What's the matter with you? β
When everyone heard the mysterious guardian ask me this, they were stunned for a moment, I shook my head, and I stopped talking, and the mysterious guardian saw this and asked me to say that it was okay.
"Seniors. β« think that the patriarch is already dead at this time......"
"Oh? Why? The mysterious guardian of the sky asked, and as soon as I said my words, the crowd exploded.
"Because that night, he gave me a dream, and there is no way for a living person to give me a dream." As soon as I finished speaking, the mysterious guardian suddenly groaned silently before he spoke, "No, I absolutely do not believe that the Lord of the Desert will kill their patriarch. β
"Why? Didn't you just say that this desert lord likes to kill? Why is it impossible to kill the patriarch? Qinglong asked with some confusion at this time.
The mysterious guardian replied, "The Lord of the Desert's power is getting smaller and smaller, so he will not let go of any living person, if he kills people, he will not be able to win over his own forces, and those Black Sand People are simply your illusions, I ask you, how can illusions kill people?" β
The mysterious guardian's answer suddenly surprised me, the death of the patriarch was a sure thing, but the mysterious guardian suddenly said that the patriarch was not dead, which made me a little confused.
"Perhaps, that dream was entrusted to you by the Lord of the Desert." The Mystic Guardian spoke.
"Absolutely impossible." I shook my head and said, "I still remember the scene in the dream vividly, and it's definitely the patriarch himself!" And why did the Lord of the Desert give me a dream? He wanted the Stygian Stone in my hand in the first place, so why did he remind me that he would send skeletons to us? Isn't that redundant? So I think the patriarch is dead. β
The Mystic Guardian suddenly sighed and muttered, "What a child can't be taught!" Rotten wood cannot be carved! I've already said that the patriarch is not dead, but you still insist that he is dead, forget it, whatever you want. "It seems that this mysterious guardian is also a straight man, stubbornly believing that the patriarch is not dead.
I shrugged my shoulders, the patriarch is dead or not, it has nothing to do with me, he said that he is not dead, then he is not dead, "I'm sorry, senior, you said that you are not dead, then you are not dead, but, can you tell me how to enter the underground palace below to find the treasure?" I asked.
"Did you bring anything?" The Mystic Guardian asked.
"What's that?" I paused for a moment.
"Stygian Stone! What are you doing here without the Stygian Stone? The mysterious guardian suddenly became a little angry, I suddenly remembered this, smiled awkwardly and hurriedly said, "Take it, take it." With that, I plucked the stone from my neck and waved it into the sky.
"It's useless for you to show me this thing, I only know that there are countless treasures in it, but the most precious is the treasure in the center of the desert, that treasure is enough to be worth several vaults, but to get that treasure, you must use the spirit stone, how to do it, you can figure it out yourself."
I smiled bitterly, it seems that this mysterious guardian only knows the general steps, and does not know the details, "Senior, then do you know how I got into here?" β
"Yes." The old man said, and then roared in all directions, I felt the ground suddenly tremble, and everyone on the field, suddenly a figure was unstable and fell to the ground, and there was a rumbling sound on the ground, as if the plates of the earth were squeezing each other, and the sand on the ground fell down along the cracks of the plates, and gradually, a big stone suddenly appeared in the sand.
"What is this?" Gradually, the earth stopped shaking, and we were able to stand up and watch the scene.
"This stone is called the Babel Stone," the Mystic Guardian said to us from the sky, "this stone is how you get underground, but you have to figure out how to do it yourself. Okay, I've said enough, we'll see you in the dungeon, I hope we don't wait too long. β
After finishing speaking, the voice of the mysterious old man disappeared, and only his echo was left in all directions, although I still have many questions in my heart at this time to find out the mysterious old man, but seeing that the old man is no longer here and can't hear me, I was stunned to hold back what I wanted to say, and the old man also said that we can see him below, which made me feel a lot more relieved.
"Brother Sheng, what's the use of this broken stone?" Qinglong asked, circling around the stone.
I also looked at the stone at this time, there is nothing special about the appearance of this stone, just an ordinary stone that can no longer be ordinary, but when you get close to this stone, you will find that this big stone exudes an amazing aura from the inside out, this breath cannot be seen or touched, and can only rely on its own feelings. It gives people a feeling of inexplicability.
I tried to touch this stone with my hand, although the night in this desert is cold, everything in the desert should be hot, and the stone in front of me is cold, even the temperature of Leng Jingyu frozen into ice by the blood jade spider is somewhat similar.
I looked around the stone and found that there were three large seals written on the back of the stone: Tongtian Stone.
"Brother Sheng, what are we going to do to get in?" Qinglong asked, I shook my head, continued to look up, and suddenly saw a line of words in an inconspicuous corner of the stone.
The emperors of the past, the chaff of today. The mausoleum of the Great Qin Emperor, the broken elephant β get its treasure, and drink its blood.
"This ...... What does this mean? Huang Tieshan silently read out the above paragraph, and then asked.
I shook my head at this time and muttered a few words in a low voice, the former emperor should be the former emperor, this stone is more than a thousand years ago, then it should refer to the first emperor of the ages - Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng.
