Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Imperial Artifact
Xueliyu was also very surprised: "There is such a huge tree in the world, and it doesn't look like it originally grew here, it's more like someone inserted it here thousands of years ago, and it used to shake violently, so it left this big cavity." ”
I couldn't help but say, "This is a stone wall, not dirt." ”
Xueliyu smiled: "Ha Luha, any stone wall anywhere, it may have been dirt hundreds of millions of years ago. ”
"You're saying it was left over from tens of millions of years ago, or even hundreds of millions of years ago?"
"Only a god from eons ago had such a power, and only then did there be such a big tree. We are not the first human beings on the earth, there were people on the earth as early as billions of years ago, and most of them became extinct, and very few people survived to become immortals in our eyes. After that, there were human beings, and when they developed to a certain extent, they became extinct, and so on until now, the powerful ones who can survive each great tribulation are the current gods and Buddhas. ”
Although I believe that there are immortals, it is the first time I have heard that immortals come like this, so I am a little unimpressed.
"The current scientific and archaeological discoveries have found human footprints wearing shoes on the fossils of trilobites hundreds of millions of years ago, a large nuclear reactor from 2 billion years ago in the Gabonese Republic of Africa, a metal ball from 2.8 billion years ago found in South Africa, an ancient city called Mohenjo Daro in India that was destroyed by a nuclear explosion thousands of years ago, and a developed city tens of thousands of years ago that sank to the bottom of the sea...... There are countless similar discoveries, all of which prove that there were prehistoric civilizations, and some of our myths are prehistoric civilizations. ”
"Let's chase that monster." I don't think there's any point in saying this, it doesn't matter if he is a Fusang Divine Tree, it doesn't matter how he came to be a fairy, what is more important for me is to catch up with the wine swallowing boy, peel off his stomach and get the Qiangua Jade Talisman. And I'm afraid that the drunken boy has another purpose in running here, and the sooner he catches up with it, the better.
The blood on the ground became less and less, and it disappeared after the last moment, but there was no other fork in the road, and the drunken boy must be ahead. We chased after the trail seven or eight times, and a large space appeared in front of us, which looked like a large area of the stone wall had collapsed. There was a falling boulder stuck between the giant tree and the stone wall, like a suspended bridge, and the giant tree was dug out of a large hole in this location, and there was a slight light in it, but it was blocked by something and could not see the situation inside, and we could all sense that there were two living people inside.
The boulder stuck between the giant tree and the stone wall does not look solid, it may fall at any time, and there are two people in the tree hole, the situation is unknown, so we can only stop and wait and see.
I could vaguely hear two people in the tree hole talking in Japanese, one voice was young, the other voice was old, the two of them were fast and anxious, as if they were arguing about something, and I naturally couldn't understand a word.
Xueliyu began to translate: "The young man wants to take something very important and use it against the enemy. The old man refused, saying that that thing was related to the fate of the country and the safety of the world, and it must not be moved, and he could summon a powerful Shikami to deal with the enemy. The young man said that the enemy was too strong, the Shikigami White Tiger had been defeated, and the Shikigami Qinglong was useless, and now the master was killed and wounded, and no one could stop it, and if the artifact was not activated, it would fall into the hands of the enemy...... The old man was scolding him, and he was never allowed to touch that thing......"
There is really an artifact here, and there is also an old man who can summon the god green dragon, thinking of the white tiger I met in the desert, I can't help but feel numb in my scalp. The wood qi here is extremely strong, and the summoned Shishen Qing Dragon must be extremely powerful, and I and Xueli Jade may not be able to deal with it. If we rush in now, the old man will definitely summon the Divine Green Dragon, and if the young man takes the opportunity to take out the artifact, we will only have to flee for our lives......
Xueliyu continued to translate: "The old man is scolding the young man, he shouldn't lead the enemy here, he shouldn't believe in the power of the devil, this completely violates the family rules and principles of the Abe family, so it is inevitable that he will be punished - the young man is the person who just merged with the drunken boy, nicknamed 'Little San'er', and is the great-grandchild of the old man......"
"はい (Hi Yi),はい (Hi Yi) ......" There was a young man's voice inside, I can understand this, it seems that Xiao San'er didn't dare to disobey Grandpa's words, and he was admitting his mistake.
As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, the old man's screams and a few short angry curses suddenly came from inside, and the blood frightened jade exclaimed: "It's not good, Xiao San'er killed his grandfather!" So saying, he ran to the stone beam.
I also hurriedly ran forward, and now I can only grab time to prevent Xiao San'er from getting the artifact. Xiaoxue flew in faster than us and saw the situation inside: inside the tree hole was a very large irregular space, three or four hundred square meters (only a small hole compared to the Fuso sacred tree), and this space was divided into multiple areas, some like living rooms, some like small living rooms. There is a particularly large flat area in the innermost part with a shrine altar and a large number of cloth curtains hung with runes, totems, and family markings, which look like places of sacrifice.
The old man who was guarding was already lying on the ground by the altar, there was a big blood hole in his chest, he was old and thin, only a small amount of sparse white hair was left on his head, his face was full of wrinkles, and he didn't have a single tooth in his mouth that was still spurting blood, he was too old to be any older, how could he withstand the sudden attack of Xiao San'er?
The wall of the shrine depicts the beautiful god Amaterasu, and in front of her is a gorgeous scabbard studded with precious stones in front of her, but the sword is inserted vertically into the altar and reaches the handle. The altar is connected to the ground and is integrated with the body of the tree, which means that the sword is completely inserted into the sacred tree of Fuso.
Before Xueliyu and I rushed into the tree hole, Xiao San'er had already grabbed the handle of the knife and pulled it out.
The scene just now was not what I saw with my own eyes, but through Xiaoxue's God's perspective, after Xiao San'er pulled out the knife, I couldn't see anything, only a misty mist, and a powerful aura rushing towards my face.
Oops, he was still in the hands of Xiao San'er, he was already by the altar, we can't beat him anyway.
When I entered the Ground Shrine, I sensed a special aura and a rich wood-attribute aura, which turned out to be emitted by this knife or sword called an artifact. I'm sure that the purpose of building this shrine and leaving a large forest behind is to cover up the aura of the Fuso Sacred Tree, and to seal and suppress something.
Xueliyu and I finally rushed into the tree hole, which was already foggy, and the entire Fuso Sacred Tree was trembling slightly, and the stone beams behind him were crumbling, making a piercing grinding and cracking sound.
I was amazed that the sacred tree was twenty meters away from the stone wall, and if the stone beam fell, we would be cut off. Xiao San'er is holding an artifact, if we can't fight, he won't even have a place to escape, such a strange place, I'm afraid that I can't escape with soil......
"Withdraw first!" Xueliyu screamed, grabbed me by the arm, and ran back. Although she was badly injured and had excellent lightweight skills, she was still much faster than me in short bursts, and I was able to float forward almost without touching my feet under her tugging.
When we reached the middle of the stone beam, there was a void under our feet, and the boulder had already fallen, stuck at the end of the Fuso Sacred Tree, and fell down first. Originally, it was only a little more than ten meters, and we rushed over in the blink of an eye at our speed, but because the boulder fell down, the stone beam became an inclined uphill slope, and there was a sense of emptiness that my feet were not strong on the stone beam, and it became difficult to run. After a few more steps, there was a loud "click", and the other end of the stone beam also fell down, and the entire stone beam fell down.
Xueliyu kicked two more steps on the stone beam, shouted "jump", and dragged me to jump towards the stone wall. At this time, she was only about four meters away from the stone wall, and she could completely touch the stone wall by jumping by herself with her skills, and then jump up again with her strength on the stone wall. But she pulled me, and in the moment of danger I jumped at the same time as hers, which affected both her jumping and my movements, and as a result, neither of us could touch the stone wall and fell down together.
I didn't expect to be planted here! My mind is racing, and Xueliyu would rather risk her life than give up on me, how can I drag her down? She's seriously injured and in distress now, all to help me! Both are dead, it is better to fulfill one, my left hand shook her hand away, and at the same time, my right palm sent out a wide aura and slapped her on the back, pushing her forward and close to the stone wall. She reacted quickly, raised her hands flat, and kicked her feet on the stone wall continuously as if she were on a ladder, and pulled two or three meters up to the edge of the stone platform.
I slapped this palm in the air, and my body was farther away from the stone wall due to the force of the rebound, and I fell down without any support.
"Brother......" Xueliyu let out a high-pitched scream.
"Don't panic!" Xiaoxue's voice sounded in my head, and I felt a force supporting me.
It was Xiaoxue who supported me with her strength, but she was just a spirit, how could she support my body of more than 100 catties? I only stopped in the air for about a third of a second, and then fell down, but with the effort of the light snow, it fell a little slower than normal.
A huge white shadow flickered, and the back half of the white snake's body was thrown off from above, and the snake's tail just held me up. I went from descent to ascent, as if I were flying through a huge arc, flying higher than the stone platform and landing, finally landing on the ground.
"Wow...... Oh......" Xueliyu patted his heart and let out a long breath. The clothes on her belly have been shredded by the drunken boy, and the outer clothes are also like small underwear, which is quite sexy and seductive.
Frightened, she raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes: "How can you be like this, do you think you are great?" Who told you to sacrifice yourself to save me! ”
I hurriedly said: "No, no, I don't think it's great, I instinctively react to myself, anyway, I don't have a chance to jump over, if I can save one, it's one." ”
Although Xueliyu was still angry, his eyes were full of tenderness and smile: "Next time, you are not allowed to do such a stupid thing, if you encounter this kind of thing again, you should borrow me as a stepping stone to escape by yourself, I am old, it doesn't matter if I die, you are still young and can't die." ”
I was very moved, although she is not a sister, but she is better than a sister, even if she is the first witch of the evil path referred to by Wanfu, what does it matter?
The fog dispersed from the tree hole, and Xiao San'er appeared, who had eight images before he and the wine swallowing boy had not transformed, but he was older, in his thirties, the wounds on his body and his lower body had been bandaged, and he was holding a strange-shaped sword in his hand.
"Kusanagi Sword!" Xueliyu exclaimed, "It turns out that the real Kusanagi Sword is here!" ”
