Chapter 19: The Secret of the Sacred Lake

Yang Rui walked through a large area of dense woods under the leadership of Cesarian to the place where he and the Egners had parted ways.

This is a very different place. Among the tall trees are houses of strange shapes, pointed roofs, round doors and windows, and the walls are painted with purple patterns.

In addition, when he looked up, he saw more magnificent structures standing on the trees, and these large trees were leafy and thick enough to withstand these huge structures. The buildings are connected by suspension bridges, and countless colorful moths flutter in the canopy.

Cesarian asked Yang Rui, "Surprised?" ”

Yang Rui was almost stunned by the scenery in the forest, and after a long time he said, "What you said is not wrong at all, I was indeed shocked by the wisdom and perseverance of you and your people. ”

Cesarian smiled and said, "I'm sure those old people who have seen you before will be shocked when they see you again." ”

The return of Thessarian caused a stir here, and Yang Rui saw countless Egner coming out of the buildings in the woods, they were all dressed exquisitely, and the shape of their clothing was different, and it seemed that the social division of labor here was quite clear.

Men and women, old people and children, appeared in front of Yang Rui's eyes one by one, and he felt that he should call them intelligent creatures, and he could no longer treat them as inferior creatures.

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, and some of the older Aigner recognized Yang Rui, although he looked no different from them, but the brilliance of the god surname shrouded Yang Ruizhou's body evoked the original memories of the Aigners.

Yang Rui was surrounded by a cheering crowd, and the Egners rushed forward to bow down to him and express their respect for the gods with Egner's unique veneer salute.

Yang Rui felt that this joyful scene sounded funny. He always thought that as a god, he should have descended from the sky under the eyes of all people, exuding golden light all over his body, so that these Egners could bow and worship.

But the fact is that at this time, he is like a people's leader who has penetrated deep into the masses, surrounded by people who love him, and he seems a little overwhelmed.

Thessarian ushered Yang Rui into one of the largest buildings in the forest, with only simple furnishings, no tables and chairs, and heavy animal skins on the floor.

Yang Rui sat on the ground, and in the middle of the house, Cesarian sat on the side, and prominent figures in the Aignar community sat around.

The grand welcome ball began. The female surname Aigner danced a charming dance around the bonfire, and the sumptuous forest feast was piled up in front of Yang Rui, and the Aigners had actually mastered the art of winemaking. Cesarian brought Yang Rui a cup of sweet wine, and the tempting taste filled Yang Rui's nostrils, not only making him feel refreshed, he hadn't drunk for hundreds of millions of years.

Yang Rui took a sip of wine, feeling that his body was floating up and comfortable, and he smiled and said to Cesarian: "This is life!" ”

"And thank you for your gifts," Cesarian said. ”

Yang Rui asked: "Tell me quickly, how did you spend this time immediately." ”

"The first days were hard, for we had run out of food from the wreckage of the mothership, and we had to divide it in rations, and some of our frail companions soon died of starvation. ”

Yang Rui sighed and said, "This is really unfortunate. ”

"However, then there was a turnaround." Cesarian continued: "In order to survive, we have to choose to eat the roots and fruits of plants that we can find, rather than just meat. Later, the sacred lake forest was full of life, and there were more and more animals, and it was inexhaustible. We believe that this must be a gift from you so that we can survive. So our lives have changed a lot. ”

Cesarian drank the wine in his glass, let out a long breath, and said in a cheerful tone, "The abundance of food has given us a stable life. So we established a permanent residency here. More new lives were born, and for the first time, Aigner felt the beauty of life. ”

At this time, Yang Rui saw the female surnamed Aigner walking into the house with a tray in both hands, and on the tray was the hind legs of a roasted night-scale leopard, exuding a rich aroma.

Yang Rui hasn't eaten or drunk for hundreds of millions of years, they don't have any feelings for food, he is just paying attention to the beautiful Elus. The woman's surname was Egner, who had changed her hunting outfit just now, and was now wearing a robe that mopped the floor, and her golden hair was coiled high, making her look extraordinarily noble.

Cesarian said to Yang Rui, "This is Elus, my daughter. ”

Yang Rui watched Elus walk in, knelt in front of him and put the hind legs of the roasted night-scaled leopard in front of him, those beautiful eyes stared straight at him, he smiled calmly and said, "Thank you, Thessarian's daughter, Elus Nightsong." ”

"Serving you is my glory, my master." Elus leaned over and gently touched Yang Rui's cheek, and then said, "Thank you for your kindness to me and my people. ”

In Yang Rui's memory, these Egner were full of foul odors, but now when Elus was close to him, the mysterious fragrance emanating from his body made his body and mind feel very happy.

Cesarian smiled and said to Elus, "Go, my child, lead your companions and dedicate the most beautiful dance of Aigner to our master." ”

Elus stood up and walked out of the house, and led the other women in the midst of the campfire to dance again with enthusiasm, shouting merrily, and dancing lightly in the light of the fire.

Yang Rui watched the dance for a while, then turned his head and asked Cesarian: "You haven't told me why you became like this." ”

"Please follow me, my master." Cesarian stood up.

Yang Rui followed the tall Aigner deeper into the woods, and after about a meal, they came to a lake.

The lake was silent and deep, shimmering faintly in the dim light.

Cesarian pointed to the lake and said, "Remember this lake?" My master. ”

Yang Rui nodded and said, "Remember, this is the water source I dug for you." ”

"That's right." Cessarian stooped down and took the clear water in his hands, drank it all, and said, "It is this lake that has changed us completely." ”

Yang Rui was a little puzzled and asked: "This is just lake water, nothing peculiar." ”

After saying that, he also took a few sips.

"It is the lake that you have blessed our people with that has made us where we are today." Cesarion's tone was a little agitated: "At first, we didn't find anything special about the lake, but we felt that once we drank it, our hunger would be lessened. However, gradually, we noticed a change, our body is no longer rickety, it has become straight and straight, our skin is no longer damp and dirty, and it emits a foul smell, but has become smoother and whiter, and our facial features have also changed greatly. At first we didn't know why. But then we found out the root of the problem. When our offspring were born, they were still the same as us, but once they started drinking the lake, they changed their appearance and physique. So we know that this miraculous power has come here and this lake, and this is the gift you have given us. ”

At this, Cesari paused, apparently calming his agitation, and continued: "Later, not only the change of appearance, but also the water of the lake has given us wisdom. We learned how to use fire, how to make tools and how to build houses. Now we have surnames and names, and even words have been created. Isn't this God's favor for us? ”

After speaking, Cesarian suddenly knelt in front of Yang Rui, his emotions were a little out of control, he cried, sobbed and said: "My master, our Aigner was originally some of the most lowly creatures, slaves all their lives, for people to drive for fun, and to be slaughtered by others. It was you, my master, who gave us a second life, and I don't know how to repay you. ”

Yang Rui hurriedly helped Cesarian up and said with a smile: "I just did what I had to do." ”

Cesarian looked at Yang Rui with resolute eyes and said, "Your mercy and kindness, we will never forget, and your deeds will be praised from generation to generation." We at Aigner will always be your servant and serve you, please believe it. My master. ”

Yang Rui smiled kindly and patted Cesarian's broad shoulder and said, "I accept your allegiance, every creature on this planet will get everything they want." ”

Egner's revelry continued, everyone's face was filled with excitement, and in the midst of laughter, the wine was drunk, the food was eaten, and it was not until late at night that the Egners slept happily.

Although Yang Rui drank a lot of fine wine, he was not drunk at all. And he does not sleep,

Therefore, the loneliness after the banquet made him a little restless. He stepped out of the drunken crowd and returned to the lake's edge.

Overhead, through the gaps in the branches and leaves, the white moonlight spilled in and shone on the surface of the lake, making the place even more mysterious.

Just as Yang Rui squatted down and wanted to take another sip of this pure lake water, suddenly, a figure flashed not far away.
