Chapter 501: Is It Just a Coincidence?
501:
"What did she see? What the hell happened to that forest? You're going to say it, but I'm in a hurry? Princess Mingji was in a hurry, and when she heard him say this, her heart was so anxious, so she couldn't help asking.
Hearing that he was so anxious to know the answer, the shopkeeper was a little proud, so he stopped selling Guan Zi and said: "The High Priest of the Bone Eclipse entered that forest under the gaze of the whole village, and none of us knew what happened after they entered the forest?
It was only after this incident that the little palace maid told us what had happened, and it turned out that after they entered the forest that day, they had met some lonely ghosts, and of course those lonely ghosts were not in the eyes of the High Priest of the Bone Erosion, and they did not feel to provoke her.
They knew that once the Bone Eater was hit, it would be certain death, but the High Priest of the Bone Eater seemed to have known that it was not only those lonely souls and wild ghosts who were doing things in this forest, because it was absolutely impossible for these lonely souls and wild ghosts to have such strength, so there should be a stronger king hidden in this forest.
Sure enough, after they walked to the depths of the forest, they met a monster with green fangs, and this monster was very huge, with green fangs, a bloody mouth, and red scales flowing all over its body, and it was extremely ugly, but the shape and appearance were very similar to the unicorn in the New Year's painting.
At that time, the palace maid almost fainted with fright after seeing the monster, but the high priest of the bone erosion quickly supported her, and he would not fall, because if she fell, she would never be able to stand up, and there were a lot of lonely souls and wild ghosts in it.
And if a person is unconscious, the yang energy is very weak, and she is a woman's yang qi is not very good, if he goes in alone, he will inevitably be eaten by those lonely souls and wild ghosts without taking a few steps.
It was only because she was with the High Priest of the Bone Eater that she escaped this fate, and after signaling her to be unconscious for a while, she stood up and hid behind the High Priest of the Bone Erosion, trembling with fear.
But this is not the point we want to talk about, what we want to talk about is that the monster with the blue face and fangs similar to the unicorn is the brother of the unicorn, which is often called gluttony, and the gluttonous is the ninth child of the dragon, ugly, and very greedy, and the legend is that because he offended the emperor, he was sealed in this forest.
Because of his high ability, plus it is an ancient divine beast, he has become a hegemon in this forest.
And half of the lonely ghosts here are his handiwork, for all those who come into this forest have become its food, especially the two young men and women.
The woman died of her own self, but the man was punished by him for his ruthlessness and treachery, and he tortured the man for seven days and seven nights before he was eaten.
And as for those who buried the girl, they were punished by the gluttony because they had inadvertently offended the gluttony, and he enforced the law in the same way as he punished the treacherous man.
Of course, these things were confessed by the gluttonous and the high priest of the bones, but they were only heard and relayed to me by the palace maid.
As a sacrifice in this place, it is her responsibility to defend the country and subdue demons and eliminate demons, so she naturally can't allow gluttony to do this, but gluttony is an ancient god, plus its mana is strong, how can she listen to the advice of the high priest of bone erosion.
Therefore, in spite of the high priest's good intentions, there was still a fight, and they fought for seven days and seven nights, and they were still evenly matched, so they stopped the fighting, and made a pact that the water of the well would not be infringed by the water of the river, that is, if there were condemned prisoners, it would punish them, and of course this was only one of the more elegant expressions.
After all, it was better for him to eat death row prisoners than for him to eat those living people, but although the two of them had come to an agreement, and they had executed each other well over the decades, and the High Priest of the Bone Eater had promised him one condition, which was to make this forest his habitat, that is, his territory.
But it could not do anything wrong in this territory, and the High Priest of the Bone Eater would periodically provide him with some condemned prisoners for him to eat, so it was impossible to harm the people who came to this forest.
He also agreed, although the gluttony no longer eats those innocent people, but those lonely souls and wild ghosts do not have this concentration, so this place has become a place where the group of lonely souls and ghosts want to have a full meal.
Although I don't know why the High Priest of the Bone Eater didn't take those lonely ghosts away, he gave an order to let everyone not enter the forest again, in order to prevent the tragedy from happening, but this will not help, because there are always those outsiders who do not know the situation and do not enter the forest, and it will become a meal for those lonely souls and wild ghosts.
However, the palace maid guessed that it was the gluttonous who coveted the beauty of their sacrifice, so she agreed to this condition.
Anyway, this forest can't continue anyway, and now that my story is finished, you can reward me. The shopkeeper said.
Princess Mingji gave Dusty a look, Dusty knew what the princess meant, so he took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to him, and when the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, Princess Mingji continued to ask: "Do you know who those two young people are?"
"That woman was the daughter of a big family in our village at that time, so I naturally knew the woman's name. Her name was Luo Xue, and I don't know what the man's name was. The shopkeeper said.
Princess Mingji had a flash of inspiration, I don't know why she always felt that this name was particularly important, Luo Xue, Luo Yang, the two of them have the same surname, is it just a coincidence?
"Can you tell me when this happened?" Princess Mingji said.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper thought about it, and after a moment of thinking, he finally remembered when this legend first appeared, so Princess Mingji said, "This story happened eighteen years ago......
Eighteen years ago, and eighteen years ago, this shouldn't just be a coincidence, these things must be related in some sense, but they haven't found the line that can implicate them.
The shopkeeper said mysteriously: "Do you think this is the end of the story?" Tell you no, there's more to that forest than that, and of course, I can't say anything because of the time rush.
If you want to know, just go and inquire, as long as there is no one here who does not know the legend in this forest, okay everyone, you eat and drink and I will go to work, if there is any need to call me. ”
