Chapter 256: The Mystery of Returning to the Ruins
The Snake Valley is deep in the North Styx Mountain, deep and narrow, and can lead directly to the North Styx Sea.
At this moment, Xie Liuyun and I were on the cliff on the west side of the Snake Valley, listening to Liu Zhirong explain the desolate landform.
Because it is a part of the outside world, the appearance is not complete, and there are only five of the top ten famous mountains in the flood wilderness.
The east is called Liubo Mountain, half a mountain and half a sea, it is the holy mountain of the Honghuangmu tribe in the ruins, there are thunder beasts in the mountains, and there are Kui Niu in the sea.
The one in the west is called Kunwu Mountain, which is more similar to Kunlun in the outside world, or the two are originally one family. Kunwu Mountain is also the place where the world's Gengjin is condensed.
The southern one is called Kongsang Mountain, Kongsang Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the Qingdi of the Honghuangmu tribe, and there are towering giant mulberries in the mountain that go straight to the sky.
The northern one is called the North Styx Mountain, and after the water tribe was forced to leave the Central Plains by the flood and wilderness, they took this place as a habitat.
The mountains in the central region are Buzhou Mountain, and the Shanhai Jing says that Buzhou Mountain is the vertebrae of Pangu to open the world, and the shape is like a pillar of heaven and earth. Buzhou Mountain is the common holy mountain of the five tribes of the Great Wilderness, because Buzhou Mountain supports the entire Guixu world.
For the water tribe, Buzhou Mountain is more meaningful, the bones of the water god and Buzhou Mountain are integrated, compared to the North Styx Mountain, Buzhou Mountain is the root of faith in the hearts of the Shui people. Among the five tribes of the Great Wilderness, the Tu people live in the plain area and have no mountains to rely on, but the Tu people are the most powerful. The plains are lush with vegetation and are most suitable for reproduction and development, and the population of the Guixu Great Wilderness Tribes is greater than that of the other four ethnic groups combined
Many.
The Tu people are peaceful by nature, and they are not as belligerent and easy to kill as the Fire and Jin Clans. The Mu people like to be close to nature and rarely get involved in disputes. Since participating in the battle to encircle and suppress the water tribe three thousand years ago, the Mu tribe has never been easily involved in the flood war.
The reason why the Xiangliu clan can survive from the war to this day is that the Snake Valley leads directly to the North Styx Sea, and the North Styx Sea is not inhabited, and there are countless fierce beasts in the sea and necromantic sea beasts.
If you want to attack the Xiangliu Clan, you can only enter from the south of the North Styx Mountain, pass through the lofty mountains and mountains where poisonous insects are full of miasma and poison, and kill the deepest snake valley.
Although the North Styx Mountain is extremely dangerous, this snake valley is indeed a place where the beautiful scenery is rare.
The Xiangliu tribe has taken root in the Snake Valley for 3,000 years, and has long regarded this place as their homeland, and every grass and tree has been carefully cared for.
The tribesmen use trees as houses and dig mountains as rooms to survive here with peace of mind. "Three thousand years is too long, and the clansmen have rarely climbed to the heights to look at the Buzhou Mountain. Although the shame of Buzhou Mountain is unforgettable, but only by virtue of our Xiangliu clan, Mo said that if we go to Buzhou Mountain to find the root of faith and rebuild the water temple, we can't even set foot in the flood again
。 Even if we live in seclusion in the Snake Valley, the Jin clan has never let us go. Liu Zhifu said with a sigh.
"Why does the Jin Clan refuse to let you go?" I asked. "It's just that when the Water Tribe was strong, there were too many humans of the Jin Clan. Later, the five elements of the flood began to become popular, saying that gold sinks in water. The White Emperor of the Jin Clan believed that if the Jin Clan wanted to unify the flood wilderness, they must cut down all the water tribes before they had a chance to make peace with the soil
Clans compete in the Central Plains. ”
"So, the current leader of the Returning Ruins Flood Wilderness is the Tu Clan?"
"Yes, Emperor Xuanyuan of the Tu clan is eloquent and strategic, reproduces millions of people's livelihoods, befriends with the Qing Emperor, and forms an alliance with the Red Emperor, a descendant of Zhurong of the Fire Clan, although the Jin clan is eyeing the enemy, they do not dare to compete with the Tu people for the hinterland of the Central Plains openly."
"Could it be that if he destroys the Water Tribe, he can become the God Emperor who dominates the Great Wilderness?" I asked.
"On the surface, the reason why the Jin clan chased and killed us was to get the mystery of the ruins left by the co-workers from us."
Liu Zhirong said that no one has ever known the origin of the Guiru World, and no one knows what Guiru is.
Legend has it that before the death of the water god Gonggonggong, he mentioned the return to the ruins to his lover Liu Yanshi and the Night Emperor of his important ministers.
Liu Yanshi was the saintess of the Xiangliu clan at the beginning, and the Night Emperor was the leader of the Black Dragon clan at that time.
Later, Liu Yanshi died in battle with the Gonggong, and the only person who knew the mystery of returning to the ruins was the Night Emperor.
Later, the Night Emperor was killed by the four god emperors in the Northern Stygian Sea, just to force him to tell him the mystery of returning to the ruins.
The Night Emperor would rather die than say that after his death, no one knows the mystery of returning to the ruins.
"Now that the mystery of returning to the ruins has been lost, why are the Jin Clan persecuting you?" I asked.
"Because the Black Dragon Clan joined the Jin Clan after the rebellion, they hated the shame of the Black Emperor being killed, so they put this blood debt on our Xiangliu Clan. It was they who told the Jin clan that the answer to the mystery of returning to the ruins could be found in the Xiangliu clan. ”
"I see." I sighed.
……
In the evening, the mushroom came to me.
She changed into a light gauze outfit, which looked particularly beautiful in the light.
The tulle is transparent, the lines of the jade pigeon on the chest are complete, and the beautiful legs are smooth and round, as if carved from white jade.
The most touching thing is her eyes, which are ever-changing and seductive.
During the day, the willow mushroom gives the impression of being a tenacious and unyielding tribal leader, which is respected and cannot be blasphemed. And now she is radiant, and her eyes seem to contain 10,000 kinds of tenderness.
Although the Xiangliu tribe is not as addicted to carnal desires as the snake fairy, they are also full of amorous feelings, and the tribe is very open between men and women.
So, I wasn't surprised to see her dressed up like that.
Liu Zhiyu was just about to talk to me, but his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the heroic sword on the table, and he forgot his intention for a while, staring at the broken sword.
After I got this sword, I have been wrapped in a Taoist robe, and it is only at this moment that my true body is revealed.
Broken swords, three-color runes intertwined and embellished. Gold represents the primeval divine realm, black represents the primeval demon realm, and blue represents the primeval underworld.
"This is the Hero's Sword?" Liu Zhi looked at it in a daze for a long time before asking in surprise.
"Hmm." I nodded.
"I underestimated you, it turns out that you didn't come to save our Xiangliu clan, you came here to reveal the secret of the ruins."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know what it means to draw a hero's sword?"
"What does that mean?" I asked.
"It means that only you can solve the mystery of the ruins!"
"It seems that you Xiangliu clan really know the mystery of returning to the ruins." I said.
"No, we don't know what the ruins are. However, the ancestor Liu Yanshi once left a sentence for the clansmen, only the owner of the Heroic Sword can reveal the secret to the ruins. ”
"What am I going to do?"
"I advise you not to do anything, because once the mystery of the ruins is solved, the world of the ruins will face the danger of annihilation, unless you can obtain the approval of the will of the ruins and take charge of the entire ruins for the will of the ruins."
Liu Zhirong said that the sword of heroes was once regarded as a sword of hope, which could bring hope to the people of the desolate world to return to their homeland, and the person who could pull out the sword was the savior of the desolate world.
But now that it has become a cursed sword, bearing the curse of the Heavenly Dao, once I make the wrong choice, the beings who return to the ruins may no longer exist.
With that, the willow mushroom left my room. She came to me with the intention of asking me to stay and help the Soyanagi clan, but after seeing the Heroic Sword, she chose to give up, because it was not necessarily a blessing for me to stay. Once it is known that I am armed with the sword of a hero, all the races of the desolation will regard me as a great enemy of life and death
, which will attract an endless number of enemies for the Valley of the Snake.
So although she didn't say anything explicitly, she clearly wanted me to leave as soon as possible, or even leave the entire ruins.
Because the current ruins and desolation tribes no longer need a savior, and they no longer want to return to their homes outside, this is their home.
It's just that I'm the descendant of the Demon Dao Patriarch after all, and I don't want to leave myself, and she can't drive me away.
I thought about it alone for a long time after Liu Zhizhi left, until Xie Liuyun suddenly came to me.
"Xie Lan, I suspect that the Xiangliu clan really knows the mystery of returning to the ruins." After meeting, Xie Liuyun asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Just look at the topography of the Snake Valley. The snake valley is shaped like a giant python, and its tail is directly inserted into the North Styx Sea, and the Xiangliu clan can not be destroyed for thousands of years, all because no one can cross the natural danger of the North Styx Sea. ”
"What's so strange about this, in order to survive, the Xiangliu clan must find a safe place to defend."
"If the mystery of returning to the ruins is related to the Northern Underworld, do you still think that the Xiangliu clan accidentally discovered the Snake Valley?"
"The ruins have something to do with the Northern Underworld?" "Yes, I'm going to deduce how to do it. If you don't enter the ruins elsewhere, you can't start with the Liuren, and at the entrance of the abyss that leads to the Northern Styx Sea in the Snake Valley, I can forcibly spy on a few mysteries with the Liuren Yin Yang Sword. You'll be with me tonight
Go, protect the Dharma for me, and I will deduce the heavenly machine. "Okay." I nodded in agreement.
