Chapter 129: Time
Over the years, Nie Yan has often been thinking about some questions, such as what is the 'seed' he saw in that world? For example, how was that city destroyed? Also, what earth-shattering conspiracy is the demon clan going on? In the end, what puzzled him was that no matter how he looked at it, this conspiracy would not have been able to happen in the past hundred years, or even hundreds of years, how could he stop it? And what role will he play in the middle? Is it to leave the legacy and let the later generations solve it?
More than nine years have passed since that great war.
I thought that the things in the world around me that would not change have changed a lot. Life is always like this, in ordinary days, you will think that your whole life will go on like this, and change will always erode the original pattern you originally thought it would be.
The Nie family has now become very powerful, whether it is the affiliated family or the team of the core demon hunters, they are second to none among the demon hunting families.
For more than nine years, everyone around me has their own homes, whether it is the younger brothers and sisters who have met before, or the young demon hunters who follow them, they have been accompanied by people in these years, except for themselves.
The huge conference room was arranged by Nie Yan himself, and behind his main seat was a huge screen, on which a world was depicted that was unfamiliar to everyone, that is, the real world of mountains and seas that he had seen behind the Barrier Mountain.
This is the only thing he has not dared to let go of all these years.
So many people have asked him, what is that? This is also the only secret he has not dared to tell all these years.
There was a meeting just now, and after it dispersed, the lively scene before was still in front of Nie Yan's eyes, but now, is it just one person again?
Nie Yan picked up the wine jug beside him and took a sip gently, it was still the spicy and long Shu wine, as if under this loneliness, any secrets were no longer important.
But I still couldn't stop thinking about the handling of the strange book of the Hundred Demon Records of Mountains and Seas, Nie Yan saw it, but found that he couldn't take it away at all, because where the Hundred Demon Records of Mountains and Seas was placed, Nie Yan felt that familiar spatial fluctuations, and it was the Hundred Demon Records of Mountains and Seas that could only be placed there to guard that space.
Therefore, Nie Yan didn't dare to touch it, but he didn't understand what it meant to tell him about the Hundred Demon Records of Mountains and Seas in that strange space.
But what's interesting is that under the stone platform placed by the Hundred Demon Records of Mountains and Seas, he saw a speech that I don't know who left it, and the standard small seal is depicted, and I think it is also a person from Qin Shi?
In the words left behind, he said something inexplicable, to the effect that there are dog demons raging in this mountain, and if anyone comes and finds the mountain and sea hundred demons, please kill the dog demon in this mountain and suppress it in a special way. The stone monument of the suppression must be carved with a small amount of its own essence blood, supplemented by some materials.
This process is described in great detail, but it is also quite complicated, and it is even necessary to build a mausoleum the size of a low mountain to suppress the dog demons, and at least the blood of five demon hunters is used, how can people not be puzzled? Because the dog demon is really not a powerful monster, why should it be suppressed in such a complicated way?
Only Nie Yan alone knows the real reason, the dog demon on this mountain is not an ordinary dog demon on the land of Huaxia, but from that world, in the repeated wars, although the human race has won, but there are also a few weak monsters, who successfully escaped from the war and finally came to the land of Huaxia.
Because, it's just a weak monster, even if the big demon that Huaxia itself grew up later can deal with it lightly? So I just let it go.
This group of dog demons is one of the weak monsters, but the dog demon is a dog after all, and it retains one of the characteristics of a dog, that is, the sense of smell is extraordinarily sensitive, and how sensitive is the dog's sense of smell? In fact, it is unimaginable for human beings. A dog's nose can smell so-called illusory things that cannot be seen with the human eye, such as the breath of a ghost.
Folk misrepresent that dogs are evil spirits, thinking that dogs can see evil things, but in fact, it is cats that can really see evil things.
Ordinary dogs can still smell the breath of ghosts, so what about dog demons? They can smell more.
So, they found this mountain, this spatial node, an extremely unstable mountain.
Just like the former dryad was just an ordinary monster, because of the spatial node, it suddenly became powerful, and the dog demon came from that world, and may also have insight into some secrets, next to the spatial node, which can make them extremely powerful.
But they will no longer be bound by the small world, and they can freely store in the big land of China.
In fact, these scattered monsters, the people in the city have secret methods and intentions to track, and some of the people who are causing trouble to the world have used the power of secular demon hunters to destroy them, and only this group of dog demons has another deep meaning.
Monsters can cover the breath of space nodes, just like dryads, not to mention the dog demons themselves from that small world? But this piece of space node is not trivial, there is no problem with the suppression of the Mountain and Sea Hundred Demon Record itself, but it will be taken away one day, so it is necessary to use such a secret method to suppress this space node, at least for thousands of years before it can really take away the Mountain and Sea Hundred Demon Record.
Because of the time of thousands of years, this space node should also slowly disappear.
"Luckily, it's just a place with no people." Nie Yan didn't know why he had to sigh like this, could that space node really be solved like this? In fact, he was not sure in Nie Yan's heart, but he could only do it.
In the eyes of those who are familiar with him in the family, his behavior has become more and more bizarre, and he often disappears for several years, and even if he comes back this time, it is a secret sneak back, except for a few demon hunters in the family, even his younger siblings do not know that he has quietly returned, and has a meeting in this underground conference room.
This is not that Nie Yan has to be like this, he has always remembered the matter of the 'seed' all these years, trying to find out if there is a secret person or thing in this world that is related to that kind of seed? So look for mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.
He also wants to find out what is the secret of coincidence? So over the years, I have also paid attention to this news, visited a lot of hidden cultivators, and even Nie Yan wanted to go back to the small path realm, if you say that the peak of cultivators, it must be in the small path world, but unfortunately, Nie Yan found that he couldn't go back, and even the ferryman who left the code to accompany them never appeared as promised at all.
Thinking of this, Nie Yan was a little disappointed, but he seemed to have some insight into the overlapping secrets.
Before, he had sent someone to send a letter to Emperor Tong overnight, if something happened to him, this secret would not be completely buried in this world.
Emperor Tong... Thinking of this, Nie Yan couldn't help but take another sip of wine, in this life, it was difficult for him to tell his relationship with Emperor Tong, whether it was a friend or an opponent? Over the years, he seems to have neglected demon hunting, but is pursuing the secrets of the mountain and sea world, and the Nie family's life experience supports his reputation, so that he will not be thought by demon hunters that he has sealed his sword and is no longer a demon hunter.
But in comparison, the Tong Emperor has experienced one shocking battle after another, and compared to him, he is still the real demon hunter who longs for the peak.
During this period, Emperor Tong didn't find Nie Yan in various ways and explore what Nie Yan was doing? Most of the information I get is that I don't know what to do, or that I am missing.
After all, he and Emperor Tong haven't seen each other for several years, but even his younger brothers and sisters haven't seen him for several years? Even the Spring Festival, which used to be together every year, has not been together for a long time.
Is this qiē worth it? To pursue those ethereal secrets, to bear the catastrophe that I don't know how long it will take? However, Nie Yan can't forget the figure that died in that big battle again and again, how can he be ashamed of those blood, those unyielding will?
In fact, he is not unwilling to see these familiar people and things, since he returned from the secret, Nie Yan's heart has been filled with a certain feeling of unease, he always feels that by his side, there is an extra power of peeping, if there is nothing, but it cannot be explored.
Because he knew how earth-shattering the secret he was carrying, Nie Yan didn't dare to risk implicating anyone and anything around him, he could only bear it alone, even if he was misunderstood by the people on the side, he gave up hunting demons, he was indifferent to friendship, and he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
The wine is cold in the mouth, even in late autumn, this untapped wine cannot enter the throat, and after the hot outburst, it will feel even colder, as if it can freeze the body.
It's just that in his own Nie family's mansion, he wants to save like a ghost, and he doesn't dare to alarm anyone except for a few henchmen and demon hunters.
The loneliness is getting deeper and deeper, it can't be dissolved, even if there were only a few people in the meeting just now, Nie Yan will feel lively, and he will become more and more nostalgic for this kind of excitement.
According to the hour, it was late at night.
More and more wrong feelings accumulate in the heart, is the end approaching? I can't tell why, Nie Yan always has this feeling lingering in his heart.
What will be your limit? How much power is there in this world that can threaten you? Nie Yan couldn't think of it, but he had an impulse that he couldn't suppress anymore.
