The battle situation on the periphery of the North Stygian Mountain was unresolved, and it did not relieve much pressure on the Snake Valley.

On this day, the willow mushroom took me to worship the bones of the ancestor of the Xiangliu snake, the bones of the Xiangliu snake are the biggest secret of the Xiangliu clan.

The shrine of the Great Snake is located in a very hidden cave in the mountains of the Snake Valley, and the entrance to the cave is covered by vines.

When they arrived at the location, they first bowed to the stone wall, then separated the vines and activated the mechanism, revealing a dark and gloomy cave, which was blown cold by the yin wind inside as soon as they entered.

The cave is extremely deep, dark and damp, and the tunnel in front of it extends downward, zigzags and turns like walking in the belly of a snake. After walking for about half an hour, we came to the bottom of the cave, which is where the Xiangliu Temple is located. The temple is magnificent, with the word "Soyanagi" written on the plaque, and a stone pillar carved with a large snake on each side of the gate. The stone pillar is more than ten zhang high, and the top leads straight to the top of the cave, the big snake carving is lifelike, the big snake on the left is blue-eyed and secluded, and the right is red-eyed

Burning, as if it will come back to life at any time, the hearts of those who watch it are secretly terrified.

Liuzhi mushroom pushed open the heavy temple door, the main hall is extremely empty, there are a hundred zhang square, dozens of zhang high, look at this scale I don't know how much effort the Xiangliu clan spent to build this temple here.

The inside of the hall is darker and more eerie than the outside, and there are hundreds of stone statues carved upright, with various shapes of large snakes, half-human, half-snake, and humanoids.

The snake is prostrate and its head is raised, and the half-human, half-snake and human are kneeling on the ground. Directly in front of the statue was a pool of water, ten feet in circumference, shrouded in a black mist.

Directly in front of the pool is a stone statue of a woman kneeling, looking at its back, it is somewhat similar to the willow mushroom.

Along the way, Yanagi didn't talk to me, and when she entered the temple, she said to me, "That pool is called the Pool of Sacrifice, and it contains the power of the will of the ancestor of Xiangliu. ”

Next, the willow mushroom began to explain to me the origin of the willow snake.

When the Xiangliu Snake was born, there was no human race in the flood wilderness, and the demon clan ruled the flood wilderness. After Nuwa's ascension, Xiangliu Orochi and Dijun competed for the dominance of the demon clan.

Xiangliu manifested the body of a snake, Emperor Jun turned into a flaming golden crow, Xiangliu was good at controlling water, and Emperor Jun manipulated the flames.

This battle between the two, following the catastrophe caused by the three chaotic divine beasts, once again hit the creatures of all races in the flood wilderness, I don't know how much water was burned dry by Emperor Jun's flames, and I don't know how many hinterlands of the plain were flooded by the floods caused by Xiangliu.

At that time, the five gods had not yet been born, and the world suffered from fire and water.

Later, the ancient gods of the Heavenly Court couldn't stand it, so they went to the Wa Palace to persuade Nuwa to solve the matter.

After Nuwa went to the lower realm, they negotiated with the two of them, and Dijun was tempted by Nuwa's beauty and was willing to surrender to Nuwa. The final result of the negotiation was that Nuwa and Dijun joined forces to kill Xiangliu Snake, and after Xiangliu's death, Dijun also wanted to kill all the descendants of Xiangliu, but was stopped by Nuwa

Sin, the Xiangliu clan was preserved.

In fact, this North Stygian Mountain is the place where the Xiangliu Snake fell, but after the vicissitudes of life, the remains of Xiangliu have also weathered over time, and in the end, only a piece of the snake's tailbone in the Snake Valley remains, and some remnants of the soul will remain.

The Snake Valley is the last retreat of the Xiangliu Clan, not that it is too miserable to be persecuted by the Terrans, and they are not willing to come here to seek the protection of the will of the Xiangliu Snake.

"Why can the abyssal rift in the Valley of the Coiling Snake be able to watch the mystery of returning to the ruins?" I asked.

"Do you have nothing in mind but the mystery of the ruins?" Yanagi mushroom glared at me and said.

"Well, if you want to protect the Liu clan, you can't do without the mystery of returning to the ruins." I nodded.

"The abyss crack was formed by the Xiangliu Snake struggling to tear the earth with a blow before he died, and the earth tore the North Styx Sea and poured in, followed by a majestic and mysterious will, and the directly startled Emperor Jun and Nuwa fled into the wilderness."

"Oh, I see. By the way, who is that female statue? ”

"You should be able to guess."

"Liu Yanshi, the wife of the co-worker?" I asked. "Not bad. In fact, as early as when Guiru was not born, Liu Yanshi got the oracle of Xiangliu Snake here, and at that time she knew that Guiru was about to be born. The world thought that it was the water god who worked together to tell Liu Yan the mystery of returning to the ruins

Shi, but she didn't know that she was the first to know the mystery of returning to the ruins. Willow mushroom said.

"I see, no wonder the Black Dragon Clan thinks that only you Xiangliu Clan can solve the mystery of returning to the ruins." I said. "What we can't solve, let alone us, even if the Xiangliu Snake is resurrected, we are not qualified to talk to the ruins, and you are the only one who can solve the mystery of the ruins. Returning to the ruins is the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao, and the owner of the Heroic Sword is qualified and has the will to return to the ruins world

Dialogue. Liu Zhifu looked at me with a serious expression and said.

"Okay, so what are you bringing me here for?"

"It's not that I'm going to bring you, it's our ancestor Xiangliu Snake who wants to see you."

After saying this, Yanagishiba mushroom withdrew from the Xiangliu Temple, and then the gate of the temple slowly closed.

Although the main hall is pitch black, there is no visual barrier for me, and I have cultivated to my current state, and I can perceive everything around me just by separating my divine thoughts.

At that moment, I walked on the passage in the middle of the stone statue, walked to the pool step by step, and finally stood in front of the statue of Liu Yanshi, bowed down and said, "Demon Dao Xie Lan, meet the seniors." ”

After speaking, the black mist above the pool began to roll, and I vaguely heard that the pool water also began to churn.

As the black mist changed, a mirror image of the head of the snake condensed by the will of the remnant soul of Xiangliu manifested and took shape.

The head of the snake is an inverted triangle, the chin has a beard like a dragon's head, and there are horns on the head. The huge snake's eyes were shaped like wheels, and their pupils stood alone, shining with a red divine light.

At such a close distance, my heart fluctuated and my heart was terrified by the gaze of the Great Snake.

"Why don't you kneel when you see me?" A vast and clumsy divine thought sounded in the bottom of my heart.

"I don't kneel like Nuwa." I said.

The Xiangliu Snake is at most a level of Nuwa, although Nuwa has the identity of an ancient god, her combat power is far inferior to that of the Demon Dao Patriarch.

What's more, as the current Demon Dao Patriarch, I dare to disobey even the Heavenly Dao, who can use my identity to suppress me.

Hearing me mention Nuwa, the Xiangliu Snake visibly swelled with anger. Nuwa is his killer enemy, and mentioning her name is the biggest taboo of the Giant Snake.

Although he only had much remnant of the will left, after all, it was also an ancient power, and the entire temple seemed to be unable to contain his anger, and my consciousness began to tremble slightly involuntarily.

There is no way, this belongs to the spiritual crushing of the superiors. There are too many differences in realms, and I can't control them myself.

Seeing that his anger was still rising, I didn't want to be humiliated, so I directly pulled out the heroic sword and stuck it on the ground, and said loudly: "It's not that I don't kneel to you, it's just that you may not be able to stand my head." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the Hero's Sword came out, the anger of the Great Snake quickly retreated like a tide.

The sword of heroes represents the future lord of the Returning Ruins and Floods, and as long as this sword is still in my hands, no one can accept my great gifts.

After a long time, Xiangliu Orochi let out a long sigh and said in a soothing tone: "Even if I don't have the Heroic Sword, with your status as a Demon Dao Ancestor, I can't afford your great gift." ”

"I wonder what my predecessors saw me?" Seeing that he had changed his tone, I asked after taking my sword back.

"I want the Xiangliu clan to join the Demon Dao."

"If the seniors just want me to keep the Xiangliu clan, it doesn't have to be like this." I said. Even if I am not a disciple of my Demon Dao, I will definitely protect the Xiangliu clan for the sake of the mystery of returning to the ruins. "Three thousand years ago, the former Demon Dao Patriarch came to Guiru to save my clan from life and death, at that time I had the heart to entrust the Xiangliu clan to him, he said that the time has not come, and when Guiru is born, someone will come to Guiru to spread the doctrine of the Demon Dao, I think what he said

The person should be you. The big snake of Xiangliu told the story.

"It turns out that the predecessors have seen the Demon Dao Patriarch, since the Dao Ancestor and the seniors have spoken first, Xie Lan will definitely live up to the trust." I said.

"Daozu is merciful, in order to thank Daozu for his kindness, I have something to give."

After speaking, something slowly floated out of the pool, and as soon as it came out of the water, it immediately flowed brightly, instantly lighting up the entire dark and dark hall.

"What kind of treasure is this?" I asked, surprised. "The Ancient Gathering Spirit Pill, as long as the divine thoughts are not dispersed, you can use this thing to reunite the divine soul."
