Chapter 44: The Prehistory of Dun Cheng
After that, I left, looking for the tribe, until I discovered it for the first time, and discovered the secrets of the Courtyard.
Its appearance also proves that I first came into contact with the place recorded on the skeleton's body, and I heard something outside the repair yard.
After the migration, the divisions within the clan became more and more severe, and all mutants were expelled on a large scale.
Instead of following the rules left by the First Ancestor and continuing to search for the one who replaced the mutant, they began a dramatic change.
Some people wanted to resurrect the first parents, while others opposed it, and they were in opposition.
Outside the confinement, the man I met told me everything I was about and delivered the child to me.
He was the only one who followed the Ancestral Arrangement now, and he was constantly looking for that person to appear, but he never found it.
And Dun Quan, the poor boy, was one of the answers he was looking for.
This child didn't have a name, but the mutation that happened to him was very special, and at first everyone didn't realize that Dun Cheng was a mutant. Until the man found him and determined it using the method of the ancestors.
At that time, I asked him about the origin of this name, but he told me with a wry smile, "This is one of the names left by the ancestor to this child, it is a special artistic conception, and it is an existence that is not discovered, but it is really a pity that this child is not what I am looking for." ”
Not the mutant I'm looking for, Dun Cheng will soon be banished from the people of the clan, and before that, that person will give it to me. Rather than being banished by others and dumped in the wilderness, it is better for me to adopt it.
He can't help all the variants, so that's all he can do, hoping that I can find the answers I'm looking for.
We were like-minded and all for one purpose, so I agreed to him and adopted Dun Cheng.
Later, I tried to find clues about the sixteen night gods, and found a small number of them, but they were only a few legends that I don't know if they were true or not.
I've found the descendants of the Thousand Evil Lords, and he has only given me some brief clues.
After that, I took Dun Cheng back to the mountain, told him some news from other clans, and asked him to learn the mental method given to me by that person, so as to suppress the abnormalities in Dun Cheng's body.
However, this is still in vain in the end, we can't change anything, Dun Cheng will still be lucky to become a mutant in the end, and the only way is to keep pushing back this time.
But at this time, I received a letter from Senior Brother Liu, which wrote the address of the ruins they found that year, as well as his request.
He wanted me to help him figure everything out, including the exercise he had gotten.
He told me everything in his letters, but I knew it was too late.
I couldn't save him, so I had to ask a master bone carving I knew, set up a formation for him with snake bones, and choose a place with abundant yin qi to bury him here.
With the souls around him, plus his own cultivation, it was enough to nurture his soul without dissipating.
And now, the time is getting closer and closer to the complete transformation of Dun Cheng, and I have to ask for help from the people of the Repair Academy, but none of them choose to help me, just because Dun Cheng is an expelled person in the first place.
Neither those who advocated the resurrection of the ancestors nor the opposite would help, and the person who gave him to me did not dare to speak out rashly, but only secretly told me to find other places in the clan to migrate.
Seeing that the Dun Qian who was accompanying me was changing day by day, I finally made a decision to follow the clues given to me by Senior Brother Liu to find the place that Master had said.
In addition to this, I also found something on the skeleton, which said that only the corpse pill of my own clan could suppress the mutation in the body.
Then, I came here, and according to Senior Brother Liu's method, I entered the tomb, but on those skeletons, I found that all along, those mutants were constantly changing forms, and they were not single.
This may be because of the method left by the ancestors, so that this mutant has derived different changes in the experiments again and again, until in the end, everyone can not deal with it, so they can only choose to migrate the whole clan, and leave these histories behind, first, to bury everything, and second, if there are descendants who find a way to control this mutation, they can return to the clan land again.
This wait is decades, no one can change, they are all waiting for someone to appear, but the wait is too long, so long that they forget why they are waiting.
After that, I used a secret method to take some bones from here, used them to suppress the mutants, and refined the corpse pill, thus sealing Dun Cheng's memory.
But this is far from the end, mutations will appear sooner or later, and no force can contain them forever, unless the first mutant is found, and perhaps a solution can be found from there.
But I searched for fifty years, and still didn't find any clues, until ...... It was the appearance of the closed gate village that forced me to come back here again and find the words engraved on the bones.
I know now that I made a big mistake at the beginning, because I was in a hurry, and I didn't realize at all that those bones were actually engraved with the content translated by the bone sealer - the memory of the deceased?
I can't believe what kind of monster I will leave to posterity, and what kind of person will his mutation become.
The bones that recorded the memories of the skeleton would one day completely transform him, and it would wake up from its slumber again with that fragmentary memory, and maybe it would find here, because here, with all its memories, maybe not—I don't know what that means!
Maybe I'm the last one to tell you the answer, the memories on the bones, and my ...... The last bone sealer can tell you this story.
The giant snake in Fengmen Village gave me a major clue, relying on the direction of the leylines at that time, pointing directly here.
I followed the trail back here and found that the situation in this place had changed, and the stone cave that had not been there now appeared on the outskirts.
I made a decision to leave him there, and even though it might have been too risky, I insisted on doing so.
If he is destined to be a scourge, I have no power to change anything, all I can do is find an answer as soon as possible, or put his mutation back on and off.
I also thought about giving him a new identity, finding him a family, and recognizing his parents, but what about after doing this? How far can I stop it?
Since it is time to come, it will come sooner or later, and instead of doing this, it is better to let him discover everything on his own.
I followed the clues and came back here, and found all the contents of the skeletons, the memories that told me all the stories about the migration, and the horrors of the mutants.
But when I tried my best to find this place, I found that the exit was gone, and it had been blown up.
Maybe this is my life, I shouldn't have come back here, I shouldn't have been, and I shouldn't have been.
I walked here for three days and three nights, I was sleepy and tired, and at last I found this place, and I will leave with everything I know, but I am not reconciled, what I know now, is not to die here, to bury all this in my corpse.
After these words, there was a long blank space, and I thought it was over, but when I was about to go on, I found another part.
"I don't know if I'm doing this again, if I'm going to make things worse, but I don't have the time or energy to estimate it, I'm going to fill my stomach with those bats, and if they're poisonous, I'll admit it."
At this point, the traces of the inscription began to fade, and I don't know if it was because of the poison attack after this person ate the bat, which made it difficult for me to write it clearly, or because of some other reason.
"I have to do this, I don't have time, I need to get out of here as soon as possible, out of this rift, but I don't know if this crack will get to the outside."
There were a few more blurry and faded words, and it was hard for me to read clearly, so I had to skip over them, and then continue to read them, "I started to lose patience with everything here, I walked inside for a long time, and when I came back, it was late, I could hear my stomach growling, I was really hungry, but I couldn't leave." ”
Looking at the rest of the staccato records, I couldn't help but look into the depths of the stone wall, where there was no end in sight, and it was pitch black, just like the original person, nothing had changed.
"It's been ten days, and the sounds of those bats haven't gone away, but I can't see their shadows anymore, I know I've killed them all, but the familiar and piercing sound keeps lingering here."
"I couldn't take it anymore, so I took a dagger and went outside to slash and slaughter, I wanted to expel them, but in the end it was still empty, I couldn't do anything!"
"I can't leave here, I'm going to be left in this hellish place forever."
After a short pause in the sentence, the handwriting suddenly became clearer, as if he had done his best to write it with the last bit of strength.
"I used my own power to condense those bats together and make them a beacon to guide those who came after me, hoping to let them find the place where I dropped these things now."
"I've decided, I'm going to get out of here and leave with all the answers. I'm not going to come back, I'm going to keep going until I see the light and see the mountains outside. ”
