Ask the Sword Mountains and Seas Chapter 27 The Legend of Xingtian
After entering the mine, the ubiquitous Gangfeng in the original cave disappeared.
On both sides of the tunnel, there are torches at intervals, indicating that there are people coming and going inside and outside the cave all the time. The pastoral path and the Ji demon stepped on their feet and quietly touched the depths of the mine.
"Leader, as rumored, once you confess your lord, you won't follow anyone else. I don't know how deep the mine was, a reckless voice suddenly sounded: "No matter how the subordinates whip and punish, those three sloppy don't show the slightest sign of giving in." ”
Could it be that Lu Zhu and Zhang Qiu's war horses were also arrested? What happened to Lu Zhu and Zhang Qiu? Mu Jinglu was slightly stunned and thought in surprise.
"If you really can't, forget it. Another word is round, and a voice full of righteousness sounds: "Dredging the spirit, the gains and losses are all in the fixed number, and you can't ask for it." ”
"What does the leader think about it?"
The person who was called the leader seemed to be thinking, and after a little thought, he said: "We came to the cave this time, but it is a task related to the life and death of my giant clan, so we can't be careless. ”
"The master of the sparse must also be in the cave, so we will temporarily detain the sparse master, lest the master of the sparse spoil our good deeds. ”
A major matter related to the life and death of the giant clan? Mu Jinglu raised his head and looked at Ji Demon in confusion, and Ji Demon was also at a loss.
"Yes, Chief. After the reckless voice came, the rescue in the mine fell silent.
It seems that this leader is not a wicked person, and it seems that he is still a frank person. Mu Jinglu thought to himself, nodded and motioned for Ji Demon to follow, and walked cautiously towards the depths of the hollow.
Turning the corner of the tunnel passage, the two of them came to a fork.
There are five passages at the fork, and it is not known where they lead. There was a faint glow of fire in each passage, and it seemed that someone had been active in the passage.
"How to get there?"
"How do I know?" Ji Demon glanced at Mu Jinglu and replied in a low voice.
Mu Jinglu shook his head speechlessly, and sighed secretly: It seems that the misunderstanding with the demon cannot be solved.
Mu Jinglu subjectively believes that there is an unsolvable misunderstanding between himself and Ji Demon. But in the eyes of others, this may not be the case.
Ji Demon looked at the back of the pastoral path, and pursed his lips very unhappily, recalling in his mind that the encounter with the fortune teller was just two sentences left by the fortune teller.
"There is no coincidence that there is no book, and when you meet, you are married. No matter what the shepherd boy ultimately chooses, it is always good to have one. Girl, cherish the moment. ”
Although Ji Demon didn't understand the meaning of the fortune teller too much, Ji Demon could hear that the fortune teller was persuading himself not to have too many entanglements.
Without waiting for Ji Demon to think about it any more, the pastoral path has already made a decision.
The Pastoral Path marked the passage at the entrance to the cave where it was, and then walked into the leftmost passage at the fork.
Ay... If only the two giants had said a few more words, I'd know which passage to take. Mu Jinglu thought helplessly, and vigilantly walked into the leftmost passage.
it!
After about two incense sticks, Mu Jinglu was shocked by the scene in front of him, and cursed secretly.
Mujing Lu and Ji Demon were in a huge cave with a radius of forty or fifty zhang (about 2.31 meters per zhang, slightly larger than two football fields) at this time, and the cave was full of spirit stones ranging from red steps to green steps.
In the pile of spirit stones, there was even a faint blue light.
On the other side of the cave, there is still a clanging sound coming from the cave.
"I want to rob!" said Mu Jinglu's voice trembling, and his eyes became a little greedy. The Ji demon on the side is not much better, even if it is the spirit stone in the treasure pavilion of their painting pavilion, I am afraid it is less than one-tenth of that here.
"Don't be impulsive, we'll talk about it when we find it. There must be people from the Giant Clan in the cave, and if the Giant Clan is alarmed, we will have no choice at all. Ji Demon whispered softly, and woke up the path that subconsciously wanted to step into the cave.
Mujinglu retracted his left foot, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Go to the other passages." Before leaving, Mu Jinglu took a deep look at this extremely tempting mine, and didn't know what the passage behind the spirit stone pile was.
The two cautiously exited the first passage on the left and touched the second passage on the left.
Compared to the first passage, the second passage was much darker, and it didn't seem to be for digging spirit stones. The further you go in, the longer the distance between the torches becomes.
After about an hour, the two of them encountered another fork in the passage, which was still five.
"What now?"
The pasture path is blinded. If they go on like this, if there is a bifurcation after the bifurcation, let alone find the parasitism, I'm afraid they will all get lost.
Ji Demon didn't answer, and stood beside Mujinglu with an indifferent face, waiting for Mujinglu to make a decision.
Mu Jinglu looked at Ji Demon helplessly, then looked at the passage of the mine, then shook his head, turned around and walked back.
"Go back and find the Giants. ”
Another hour had passed, and the pastoral path and the demon had returned to the place where they had just forked.
The pastoral path thought for a moment, and began to investigate again from the first one on the right. Two hours later, the second on the right. After another two hours, Mujinglu and Ji Demon returned to the original fork.
"I knew it earlier, so I went in the order I had before. ”
Mujinglu said gloomily, leaning against the wall of the passage and resting. Don't be depressed, no, the two passages on the right are also about an hour away, and in the passage I met the same fork in the second passage on the left.
"The sound we heard when we came in wasn't too weak, and it certainly didn't go too deep into the mine. Mu Jinglu analyzed in a low voice: "In the other four passages, no trace of the Giant Clan has been found, and it must be in the middle passage." ”
Ji Demon nodded in agreement. It's just that the indifferent look on Ji Demon's face that he doesn't care about himself makes Mu Jinglu hate and feel guilty.
After a stick of incense, Mu Jinglu took a deep breath, raised his legs and planned to walk towards the middle fork in the road.
"Xuanwei is so big, it's fate to be able to meet. The voice of the leader that Mu Jinglu heard before suddenly sounded in Mu Jinglu's ears: "Isn't it a bit rude for a friend to come from afar and not say hello." ”
Pastoradow bounced back in shock, and looked calmly into the middle passage where the sound came from. Ji Demon also took two steps back, looking at the passage where the sound came out with a defensive expression.
After a few breaths, a group of figures five or six feet long appeared in front of the pastoral path.
"Humans? are still just red and orange. After the giant saw the pastoral path and the Ji demon, his defensive color receded a lot.
"Don't get me wrong, seniors. Mu Jinglu quickly explained, "We just followed the hoof prints of the scattered mounts to find here, and we had no other purpose. ”
"Hehe, senior?" the giant leader smiled lightly, and said with some surprise: "Three thousand years, you are the first person who will call our giant clan a senior." ”
Belch. The leader of the giants answered the question, so that the pastoral path did not know how to answer.
"Fellow human beings, are you really just here to find your own mount?" the giant leader glanced at the pastoral path with a deep sense of irony, and continued, "This leader saw the reaction of you in the first passage and saw the spirit stone. ”
Mu Jinglu was stunned again, and then a little embarrassed, but said calmly: "As a monk, who doesn't want to improve their cultivation as soon as possible? ”
"But since it is the property of the predecessors, the kid's strength is not good, so naturally he only has to watch it. ”
"You're calm. The leader of the giants seemed to be very satisfied with Mu Jinglu's honesty, and said with a chuckle: "But since we can meet in the cave, Xiaoyou and my giant clan also have fate. ”
"If Xiaoyou can agree to a request from the leader, the leader will not only return the Xiaoyou's mount, but also give the spirit stone in the first passage to Xiaoyou. How?"
"What!" Mu Jinglu did not hold back, and exclaimed loudly, his breathing becoming very rapid.
"There's no such thing as a free dinner. Mu Jinglu fiercely suppressed the excitement in his heart, tried his best to regain his senses, and said: "With the cultivation of the kid, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to get such a big gift." ”
After calming down, the pastoral path became clear.
Whether it is in a past life or in this life, Mujinglu believes that there will be a balance between gains and losses. After you get something, you have to lose something.
The spirit stones in that passage must be more abundant than the inventory in the Imperial Gate. Such a huge harvest, in exchange for the cultivation of the pastoral path at this time, will definitely endanger the life of the pastoral path.
"I was not blinded by the immediate interests, I knew how to advance and retreat, and I knew the gains and losses. The giant leader nodded with satisfaction: "Xiaoyou has a good heart, and this leader is optimistic about you." ”
I'm optimistic about your sister!It must be something that the giants can't accomplish on their own, and they need to find a replacement for the dead ghosts. Mu Jinglu cursed secretly, and his heart became more and more vigilant.
"You don't have to be so nervous. With a wave of his hand, the giant leader dispersed his people, leaving only a seemingly reckless clansman to follow him.
The leader of the giants smiled, came to the side of the pastoral path and sat down, and said kindly: "Little friend, can you sit down and listen to my story?"
The change in self-proclaimed claims has made the giant leader seem less and less threatening. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, and even if you do, the pastoral path can't beat it.
In desperation, the pasture arched his hand and sat in front of the giant leader casually, looking deaf.
"The Ancient Emperor, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, Xiaoyou should have heard of it. ”
Hearing this, the pastoral path nodded solemnly.
"I want to come to the legend of the ancient Yellow Emperor descending to the Yan Emperor and defeating Chiyou, Xiaoyou has also heard of it. The leader of the giants did not wait for Mu Jinglu to respond, and continued: "Before the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You, he fought with Emperor Yan in Banquan. Emperor Yan was defeated and submitted to the rule of the Yellow Emperor. ”
Although Emperor Yan was defeated, Emperor Yan's descendants and ministers did not accept the rule of the Yellow Emperor. ”
After Chi You failed to raise troops and was killed, the courtiers of Emperor Yan in the past finally couldn't hold back the unwillingness and anger in their hearts, and raised troops to resist the Yellow Emperor again. ”
"There is a former minister under the command of Emperor Yan, a nameless giant. This person loved songs in his life, and once composed the music "Fu Li" for Emperor Yan and the poem "Harvest", the general name of which was "Bu Mou", in order to praise the happy life of the people at that time. ”
"This person is not only a superb cultivator, but also capable of writing and martial arts. He also attached importance to the suffering of the people, and when he raised troops against the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the people of Yongzhou and Liangzhou in Kyushu responded with their heads. ”
"The nameless giant, holding Qi (a giant axe) in one hand and Gan (a bronze shield) in the other, led a large army, and in an instant attacked the palace of the Yellow Emperor. ”
"The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan was naturally furious, and when he mentioned the saber Xuanyuan, he fought with the nameless giant. ”
The two great powers fought and retreated, until they reached Changyang Mountain on the border of Kyushu. The leader of the giants said with a shocked expression: "On Changyang Mountain, the two great powers shook the heavens and the earth, destroying countless mountain ranges and affecting countless living beings. ”
"After several months of fighting, after all, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan was superior in skill and cut off the head of the nameless giant. Speaking of this, the Giant Clan looked very emotional.
On the Xuanwei Continent, the legends of ancient times are exactly the same as the myths and legends of his previous life, and this nameless giant should be undoubtedly Xingtian.
Could it be that these giants are the descendants of Xingtian, and what is he telling me these stories for?
"The cultivation method of the nameless giant is also peculiar, after the head is cut off, he does not die, and the body without a head is looking for his head all over the mountains and wilderness. ”
But because of the loss of his head, the body of the nameless giant did not know where his head had fallen, and ran and trampled on the top of Changyang Mountain. ”
Seeing that the nameless giant's cultivation was so good, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was naturally worried that after the nameless giant found his head, he would fight with him again, so he raised the Xuanyuan sword in his hand and slashed at Changyang Mountain. ”
After a loud bang, Changyang Mountain was split in half, and the head of the nameless giant naturally rolled into the cracked valley of Changyang Mountain. Subsequently, the Yellow Emperor cast a spell to restore Changyang Mountain to its original state, and buried the head of the unknown giant in the depths of Changyang Mountain. ”
The Nameless Giant sensed the changes around him and knew that the Yellow Emperor had buried his head in the belly of the mountain, but he was not discouraged. ”
He stood up, still holding his axe in his right hand and his shield in his left, and swung it wildly towards the sky. Xingtian, who fell into the darkness, was furious, used two nipples as eyes, opened his navel as his mouth, and continued to fight with the Yellow Emperor. ”
Saying this, the giant leader's face was full of admiration, and his expression was full of pride.
"The nameless giant, with his stubborn will, even if he has no head, he has been fighting with the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan for several months. The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan understood that the body of the nameless giant could not be completely destroyed, so in the mountains thousands of miles away from Changyang Mountain, he repeated the trick and buried the body of the nameless giant. ”
The leader of the giants said with a sad face: "Forehead, the pinnacle, the pinnacle, the heavens." Those who cut off their heads will be killed, and those who will be killed will be punished. Since then, people have called the nameless giant Xingtian. A generation of strong men, following the passage of time, slowly disappeared in the eyes of everyone. ”
Although I had heard the legend of Xingtian in my previous life, it seemed that the story from the leader of the giant would allow Mu Jinglu to bring him into the role of Xingtian, and feel the determination to fight forever if he was unwilling to admit defeat easily.
Mujinglu suddenly remembered the poems of Tao Yuanming, a poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in his previous life, talked for a long time, and blurted out: "Jingwei Weimu will fill the sea." Xingtian Dance is dry, and fierce ambition is always there. ”
"Such a fierce warrior is enough to shake the heavens and the earth!"
The leader of the giants glanced at the pathway in surprise.
"The people of the world say that the heavens disregard the living beings between heaven and earth, and start a war in vain. I don't want Xiaoyou to look at Xingtian, it's so different. ”
Mu Jinglu shook his head slightly, and said casually: "Poor people must have something to hate, and naturally hateful people must have an admirable character." ”
"There are countless living beings in Kyushu, and every individual has his own views on the way of the world, the human heart, and even the way of heaven. Right and wrong are just an expression of the inner expectations of every living being. ”
"What seems right and important to yourself may be wrong and worthless in the eyes of others. ”
After saying that, not only the giant leader was stunned, but the demon on the side also stared at the pasture road.
A young man who is only fifteen years old has such a saintly mentality when he views the world and living beings.
After sighing, Mu Jinglu came back to his senses, looked at the giant leader more and more vigilantly, and said in a deep voice: "The predecessor is the descendant of Xingtian, right?"
The leader of the giants was stunned by the question of the pastoral path, and nodded in astonishment.
"If the kid guessed correctly, the senior led the clan to dig the cave here, not to collect spirit stones, but to open up from here to the place where Xingtiantou and his body are buried. ”
The leader of the giants looked at the pastoral path and shook his head helplessly: "Well, Xiaoyou is really smart. ”
"Although the kid doesn't know how to go to the place where Xingtian's body is buried together in the treacherous cave, I still ask my seniors to give up. Mu Jinglu stood up and continued solemnly.
"Although the kid is not a compassionate person, he also doesn't want to see the resurgence of the bloody wind in the Xuanwei Continent. ”
The leader of the giants looked at the pastoral path with a confused expression, and asked suspiciously, "Uh, what do you mean, Xiaoyou? ”
Mu Jinglu snorted disdainfully, and said coldly: "Although the kid also laments the end of Xingtian, the kid will definitely not help his predecessors resurrect Xingtian." ”
Before the giant leader could speak, the demon on the side stood up violently and exclaimed, "What, you want to resurrect the Punishment Heaven?"
Ji Demon was frightened at first, then suddenly stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Mu Jinglu suspiciously, and asked: "How to resurrect, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the soul of Xingtian may have long been wiped out." Even if Xingtian's body is found, I'm afraid that there will only be a dry bone left. ”
Uh, what's the situation? The plot is wrong?
Mu Jinglu looked at the puzzled enchantress and the bitterly smiling giant leader, blindfolded.
"Xiaoyou is too worried. The giant leader chuckled and said, "On the Xuanwei Continent, even if it was a purple-level powerhouse thousands of years ago, as long as he died, it was impossible to resurrect him. ”
The words of the giant leader fell, and Mu Jinglu remembered that the soul on the Xuanwei Continent could not last forever.
, I was dragged into the water by the inertial thinking of the novels of my previous life, and I was embarrassed and embarrassed.
The corners of Mu Jinglu's mouth kept twitching, and he thought to himself in embarrassment.
