Chapter 53: Identity
In the depths of the Demon Soul Forest, Long Yang broke through the water barrier of the Demon Confusion Spring and stood silent. Updates are fast and ad-free. His whole body, and even the strands of his hair, glowed faintly. It was a strange phenomenon caused by the energy of the enchantment that his body automatically absorbed when he broke through the water barrier.
The Devil's Spring Water is a treasure left by the ancestors of the mountain gate, and it is regarded as the foundation of the mountain gate. Because of Long Yang's special performance in the test, Chuan Lao and the others decided to use it to test Long Yang's true strength. In fact, Chuan Lao has a special mission, and he has deeper intentions, but he can't say it in front of everyone, even if it is the old people in front of him.
When Long Yang broke through the spring water barrier, the Demon Confusion Spring Water immediately boiled as if it had been boiled by a rapid fire. Not only that, but it made a loud clattering sound, followed by a splash of water and a fryer-like splash in all directions.
"Ahh The old men in their seats stood up one after another, their mouths wide open and looking at the Demonic Spring.
The water had stopped boiling, and only a shallow spot remained, and the bottom of the pit could be clearly seen. It is said to be a stone pit, but it is not an ordinary stone pit, it is semicircular, with a faint dark green, like jade.
"This? This? "A few old people don't know why they have such a vision, and they don't know what to do.
"Hurry up and find Long Yang, this matter must have something to do with him!" Chuan Lao was also shocked, but he immediately calmed down.
At this time, Long Yang, who was standing still, moved the corners of his mouth, and a trace of a smile hung on it. The benefits of this trip are known only to him.
Test me? Hum! It is estimated that stealing chickens from this mountain gate will not be a loss of rice!
"Catch him!" With a shout, a group of people suddenly appeared and surrounded Long Yang.
Since arriving at this mountain gate, except for Ah Chuan, this is the first time Long Yang has seen the people inside the mountain gate. The biggest difference between these people and humans in the outside world is that the clothes on their bodies obviously do not belong to modern clothing. In their hands there were knives, swords, spears, clubs, and eighteen kinds of weapons, and there was almost no shortage of them. Only a few old men in front of them stood empty-handed.
"That's how you're hospitality?" Long Yang was unmoved and asked with a smile.
"Grab it!" An old man did not allow Long Yang to ask and explain, and directly ordered someone to catch Long Yang.
Long Yang didn't resist, his purpose was to go deep into the Demon Soul Forest and find a mysterious passage to the tomb city. At this time, it is time to go deep into the mountain gate and investigate in detail.
"Elder Chuan, the people have been brought!" Long Yang was hugged and pushed into the main hall.
"The others stand down!" Chuan Lao waved his hand and signaled.
"Yes!" The people in the main hall quickly retreated without any hesitation.
"You are Long Yang?!" Elder Chuan asked.
"Didn't you already know, why bother asking so many times!" Long Yang asked calmly.
"You 、、、 you?" was asked by Long Yang, and Chuan Lao couldn't continue to ask. What he wanted to ask was how Long Yang passed the test? And the test is set by them, and asking such a question is tantamount to slapping yourself in the face. He wanted to ask what was going on with the Demonic Spring, but he was afraid of revealing the secret of the mountain gate.
"Who are you, and how did you get into the Demon Soul Forest?" After much deliberation, Chuan Lao finally asked.
"What am I, of course I am human, otherwise you would not let me enter the mountain gate. Into the Demon Soul Forest? Of course I came in through above! After Long Yang finished speaking, his finger pointed upward, just as he had answered Ah Chuan.
"Second Elder!" Elder Chuan ignored Long Yang's explanation and instructed the other old men.
After a few moments, an old man came to the middle of the main hall. "Old man Chuan, what do you command?" The old man had gray hair and shabby clothes, and he looked sloppy and cynical.
"Are there any guests coming soon?" Chuan Lao's words were inexplicable, and Long Yang was puzzled. Guest? Could it be that there are still guests in this demon soul forest, who thinks that they have lived enough?
"Nope! Besides, if there are guests coming, can you not know! Besides, how long has it been, there is no one, and I am tired of it. Old man Chuan, have you said enough, don't delay me to sleep! The second elder chattered endlessly, and was particularly impatient. It's no wonder that, according to Ah Chuan, no other human beings have come over for nearly a thousand years, and he is indeed lonely.
"Alright, alright." Chuan Lao immediately stopped.
"I'm not done yet? Look at this stance, is he a guest? "The second elder came to Long Yang's side, poked his head out, and sniffed around Long Yang's body." It's people, it's people! He nodded his head in affirmation. His words are fortunately used here, and if they are placed elsewhere, they will definitely be beaten.
"You know, he's human! But his identity is really special, what can you smell? Elder Chuan held back his temperament and asked the second elder.
"I smell the scent of the mountain ancestor!" The second elder circled around Long Yang, his expression nervous, not as if he was cheating. He was very serious, without the slightest hint of playfulness.
"The breath of the Mountain Ancestor? Yes? What's going on? The old men in the hall were shocked, looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on Long Yang.
"Nonsense! How can he have the breath of a mountain ancestor on his body, Second Elder, you are confused! Chuan Lao shouted.
"I'll sniff again, sniff!" After the second elder finished speaking, he sniffed Long Yang's whole body, and Long Yang had goosebumps all over his body. "Yes, it's the smell, the floral! Flowers! The second elder shouted, bordering on madness.
"Floral?" Elder Chuan and the other elders looked at each other again, unable to believe what the second elder said.
This second elder is really very human. Everyone calls him the Second Elder, but in fact, his seniority is higher, and no one knows how high it is. Although he is crazy, he has always done his duty to guard the passage. Do not believe his words, nor disbelieve them.
As for why he let this crazy person guard the mysterious passage, no one can say why, even if it is Chuan Lao, he doesn't understand, he only knows that it is the rule of the ancestors, and no one dares to cross it.
"Good, good, good!" The second elder shouted three times and ran out.
Unexpectedly, the mountain gate in the depths of the Demon Soul Forest was also related to the fragrance of flowers in the Mysterious Garden, which made Long Yang unexpected. Previously, the wooden box containing the dragon's spirit, which is now a mysterious artifact stored in itself, also emits a faint strange floral fragrance. Is there such an unknown connection? And what does it have to do with this mountain gate?
"Elder Chuan, this?" The rest of the old people couldn't decide when they saw this situation, so they had to ask Elder Chuan.
"Don't you listen to the Second Elder?" It was Ah Chuan who spoke, and since Longyang was brought here, she didn't dare to express her opinion. Now that she heard what the Second Elder said, she had some confidence.
"There's no place for you to talk here, get out!" Elder Chuan shouted. In fact, Chuan Lao's heart was a mess, and he couldn't make a decision, and he was even more irritable when he was troubled by Ah Chuan.
"Get out, go out, huh!" Ah Chuan turned his head and left, no longer entangled. She knew in her heart that things in Longyang had taken a turn for the better, and there was no danger to her life.
"Hey! Take Longyang out first, and then talk about it! Chuan Lao waved his hand helplessly and sighed.
Long Yang is human, and there is nothing wrong with it; Long Yang's identity is inconclusive; The origin of Longyang is traceless. And the words of the second elder had to be carefully considered by Elder Chuan.
The mountain gate was founded by the ancestor of the mountain and has been passed down to this day. The first task of the mountain gate is to garrison important places, guard the passages, and wait for destined people. At this time, Longyang made Chuan Lao indecisive and unable to close the coffin.
Could it be that Long Yang is the one who has to wait? Is it the future of the mountain gate?
