"Their names are Long Xiao and Yuehua, and it was their instructions to bring you here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "The patriarch looked at the statues in front of him, both of which were made of wood, and they came to life for a year.
Hearing the patriarch say this, we were even more curious, "You said it's them, are they immortals?" He Xiaoman looked at the statue and looked at me, so why am I so similar to the statue.
"I'll tell you a story, and maybe you'll understand it all." The patriarch paused and looked at the idol and continued: "A thousand years ago, there was a catastrophe in our village, many people did not know what they were killed at that time, and the next day they all came back to life, they did not really come back to life but turned into zombies. ā
Hearing the patriarch, I thought of last night's dream, and the patriarch continued: "At that time, our ancestors were all some important criminals wanted by the government, and everyone came here after being desperate, and some were to avoid vendettas, and the desert at that time was not as serious as it is now, the reason why we can survive here depends on the water spirit bead, it is because of the water spirit bead that we have water here. ā
The patriarch's words reminded us of the situation at that time, and everyone listened to the patriarch's words silently. "It is also this water spirit bead that caused the catastrophe thousands of years ago, because many demons and monsters wanted to get it. It is rumored in the world that the water spirit bead can make all living people become immortals, and there is a patriarch named Yu Wenhao in our ancestors, he used to be a person who cultivates immortals, although he has not attained the Tao and ascended, but he is still a Taoist. ā
"Many demons and monsters who came to steal the water spirit beads were killed by the Yuwen patriarch one by one, but then the inexplicable dead people in the village, after the investigation of the Yuwen patriarch, found out that it was the desert death, the thousand-year-old corpse king was making trouble, the thousand-year-old corpse king was originally a Taoist who practiced evil arts, and he didn't know what evil magic he used to make himself a zombie at that time."
Hearing what the patriarch said, I remembered those dried corpses in the forest, could it be that they had something to do with the Desert Death God Thousand Year Dry Corpse King.
"After the Yuwen patriarch found the dry corpse queen, he fought for two days and two nights, but in the end, both were defeated, the Yuwen patriarch himself was very injured, and calculated that he might not live long, so he wrote a letter to his senior brother Long Xiao, he was worried that after his death, the thousand-year-old dry corpse king would take away the water spirit bead, so that the village would be destroyed, and the village built by generations would disappear from now on."
"Long Xiao used to be Yuwenhao's senior brother, practicing in the Divine Sword Gate, because of various opportunities, Long Xiao was promoted at a very young age, and the letter written by the Yuwen patriarch was only with the attitude of giving it a try, because Long Xiao rarely came to the world since he attained the Tao."
After writing the letter, the patriarch of Yuwen found that he had been poisoned by the dried corpse, and finally he threw himself on fire in order not to harm the villagers. Seven days later, Long Xiao actually came to us with the Yuehua Fairy, and Long Xiao finally defeated the thousand-year-old Dry Corpse King and wiped out his body. ā
Hearing the patriarch's words, I immediately asked, "What about the Divine Consciousness Soul of the Dry Corpse King?" ā
The patriarch looked at me: "The Divine Consciousness Soul was sealed by Long Xiao, and it is because it has not been completely eliminated that there is a crisis in our village now?" ā
"Then why didn't Long Xiao destroy the Divine Consciousness Soul of the Dry Corpse King?" He Xiaoman also interjected.
"Long Xiao told the people in the village that the Dry Corpse King was an old man of his, and hoped to use the thousand-year-old seal to make the Dry Corpse King change his evil and return to the right." Patriarch Nako said.
"Then is it that the seal has been broken now, and the Dried Corpse King has not reformed since he came out." I'm curious about it.
"Yes, just a few days ago, someone suddenly disappeared in our village, and then we felt that the situation was not good after more than 10 people disappeared in a row, and then the villagers saw the missing villagers in the process of grazing and could still walk around, and the person ran back to the village in fright to tell everyone about it."
"Could it be that the Dry Corpse King did it?" I looked at the patriarch.
"Yes, I heard that the missing person will walk around when he becomes a dried corpse, so I remembered the ancient precept left in the village, the legend of the Dry Corpse King." Patriarch Nako said.
"Do you want to help you get rid of the Dry Corpse King?" I looked at the patriarch in shock, his wrinkled face looking full of anxiety.
"Yes, only you, the reincarnation of Long Xiao, can help us." The patriarch looked at me with a firm face, and when they heard the patriarch's words, He Xiaoman, they all looked at me in shock, and they couldn't speak.
"After Long Xiao sealed the divine consciousness and soul of the Dry Corpse King a thousand years ago, he told the patriarch at that time that this seal could only last for a thousand years, no matter whether the Dry Corpse King woke up after a thousand years or not, his reincarnation would return here again, just when you entered the ghost forest, the idol gave us instructions, that is, Long Xiao in the idol told us that the people in the village had come to his reincarnation."
Hearing the words of the patriarch, I felt a little incredulous, and looked at the people around me: "So you don't bring us here." ā
"Originally, we wanted to invite you over, but we were afraid that you would not believe what we said, so we cured and led you here, and at this time, we happened to find out that someone in your team had been poisoned by the corpse of the Dry Corpse King, so we arrested them and asked you to find them." The patriarch said to us apologetically.
In fact, I already believe what he said in my heart, but He Xiaoman and they definitely can't accept these legends. "You said that he, Lu Xiaofeng is the reincarnation of an immortal, won't you?" He Xiaoman covered her mouth and looked at me curiously.
"Then how can I help you destroy the Dry Corpse King?" I looked at the patriarch, since they wanted me to help, I had to help them as soon as possible, and then accompany He Xiaoman to find the ruins of Loulan.
"Actually, I don't know how you can help us get rid of it?" The old man touched his beard embarrassedly.
I almost fainted when I heard the old man's words, and I was told to fight with the corpse king. "But I have a letter here, which has been passed down from our ancestors, saying that it will be handed over to Long Xiao on the day he is reincarnated." As he spoke, the patriarch took out a yellowed letter from his chest and gave it to me.
I took the letter, it seems that the envelope is very old, on the envelope, the words of Long Xiao's reincarnation are already very vague, and the envelope has not been opened. At this time, everyone looked at the letter in my hand curiously, looking at the heart in my hand and I had a lot of thoughts, my previous life actually left me a letter, so that you can believe it? I really didn't know what was written in the letter, so I immediately began to open the envelope.
