Xiao Wanlong breathed a long sigh of relief and said quite seriously: "Boy, to tell you the truth, since the day you came, I have sent someone to secretly observe you and investigate everything about you, so there are some things I don't have to say to you." As for you asking me to do this, I can only tell you that now is not the time to explain it to you. However, I can tell you about the Guardian Stone, but you have to swear that you can't talk to the second person about what I'm talking about today, understand? ”

Seeing that this old man who had been talking about Lao Tzu all day suddenly became so serious, he knew that what he was going to hear below must be very important, so he nodded cautiously after thinking for a few seconds.

Xiao Wanlong also nodded in response, then turned his back to Mo Beitian and began his story.

"When it comes to the Guardian Stone, there is one person who must be mentioned, and her name is Bi Ru. She is my former wife, Xiao Xiao's deceased mother. ”

Speaking of this, a layer of sadness appeared on the face of Xiao Wanlong, who was in his fifties, and he paused and continued: "That was twenty years ago. At that time, I had never heard of the Republic, and I guess the Republic did not know that there was a group of us. We are a group of reclusive people, most of our ancestors were soldiers, they all fought in the 'Last World' war 200 years ago, and the war was devastated and the old homes were razed to the ground, and the people we once loved were reduced to dry bones. Our ancestors couldn't accept the fact that they thought it was the fault of technology! If there were no so-called technology, there would be no weapons that are extremely lethal, and there would not be so many deaths, and the places where I lived would not be in ruins; Without technology, there would be no industrial revolution, nature would not have been ravaged by us, and life would not have been trampled by merciless machines; Without technology, we wouldn't give up our rustic nature; You will not be swayed by greedy desires and become slaves of technology! It was technology that made them forget their original intentions step by step, become demons and commit sins that cannot be redeemed. It's all because of technology. Therefore, our ancestors chose to flee, and they left their sad homeland to settle in an uninhabited land. They have abandoned all technological products and their original way of life, relying only on the most primitive tools and simple products to live, hoping to save their sinful souls in this way. In this way, after many years, we, as their descendants, have long been accustomed to primitive life and not to be disturbed by the outside world. Until one day the republic came to our land. ”

Xiao Wanlong stopped again, and he was silent for several minutes as if he was making up his mind.

"Okay, we're going to focus on that." The elderly chief continued: "The republic has somehow learned of our group and sent envoys to negotiate with us, who wanted us to join the republic and promised to preserve our own habits. I was very young at the time, and I felt that our ancestors were too extreme, that our people's life was too hard, and that if someone could help us, maybe we would have lived better. So I agreed to the terms of the republic, and the place where we lived became a domain of the republic.

At first we felt that life had changed a lot, and that the Republic had fulfilled its promise to respect our culture, but soon something happened that changed all that! This is the 'purification project'! Speaking of this, Xiao Wanlong's voice couldn't help but tremble.

"Yes, it's this kind of hex! When the republic began to promote it, it said that we were people who had not been 'purified', which was a hidden danger for the country. There is no one in the whole country who is not a beneficiary of the 'purification' and therefore expects us to do the same 'purification'. They sent many scientists and staff to the places where we lived, and one of these people was a young girl, Bi Ru. At that time, she also believed in 'purification', and she told me that only 'purification' can truly put my people on the path to happiness, and our descendants can have a bright future. Faced with such a beautiful girl, how could I not be attracted to the young me. I believe what she says and hope she stays here as my bride.

Maybe it was really a happy relationship, Bi Ru and I quickly fell in love, and she was pregnant with my child. We were really happy and had a lot of faith in the country. But all this is just a beautiful dream. A year later, the year Xiao Xiao was born, the Republic began to fully implement the 'purification project' in our place of residence. We had a referendum on this, and no one was against it at that time, so the jihua of the republic was able to proceed smoothly. This was the beginning of the nightmare, and in the first few days of the first 'purification' of the clansmen felt that they had been reborn, and that the hidden distractions in their hearts had disappeared without a trace. But I don't know Weishenme, these people soon died. ”

"What do you say? All dead? Nothing like this has ever happened in the republic! Mo Beitian was a little surprised, and couldn't help but interrupt Xiao Wanlong's words.

The old leader glanced back at Mo Yantian, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Boy, do you still have illusions about this country?" I can tell you that they all died, but that wasn't the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing was that they all came back to life some time after they died! Moreover, the people who came back to life were like crazy and kept killing people when they saw them, and some people were poisoned even if they saw their relatives. Our place of residence has become a living hell in a very short time! ”

Mo Zhentian's body couldn't help but be stunned, and after he died, he came back to life and killed like crazy!? Isn't this exactly the same as Xiaoxue?

Xiao Wanlong didn't notice the change in the young man behind him, and continued to tell his story: "We didn't know what to do at that time. Biru asked her superiors for advice from the Republic to help us deal with the disaster. Soon the Republic sent people who claimed to be the Seventh Division, or the mysterious organization you called. They are indeed here to solve the problem, and the solution is very simple and violent, that is, to kill all the people here, including those normal people who are not crazy! Of course, I can't sit back and wait for my people to be slaughtered, and revolt is inevitable, but how can we be defenseless against the Republic? Soon we were defeated. I took the rest of Zuihou and began to flee. Along the way, the Republic has been attacking us constantly. We had no food to eat, we didn't drink, and we were subjected to continuous sneak attacks, many of us fell ill, and some died on the way to escape. Bi Ru also fell ill at that time, and her illness was more serious than that of others, because she was born not only of physical illness, but also of heart disease transformed by inner condemnation. Along the way, she was seen as the curse of our entire tribe, and she was stared at and scolded by others, and although I had always protected her, she had been tormented by these curses. She was already in poor health, and after such a long journey and psychological torment, zuihouzuihou tried everything I could but she still went. ”

Xiao Wanlong paused slightly when he said the word "go", and at this time, Mo Yitian could feel that the old leader was choking.

"It was many years ago. Alas, it is still not to be forgotten. Xiao Wanlong waved his hand alone, Mo Yitian didn't know what he meant by waving his hand, it seemed to calm himself down.

Sure enough, after Xiao Wanlong adjusted himself, he said, "Bi Ru left me a thing before leaving, which is this guardian stone. In fact, this stone originally had no name, and Bi Ru did not know its origin. It's just that the research department they're in has been working on it. Bi Ru told me that there were originally many pieces of this stone, and that there were quite a few people studying them in the scientific research institutions of the Republic. Something in this stone can be purified into a catalyst, which is usually used in the 'purification' process, but she doesn't know exactly what it does. She's just an assistant, and there's a lot of internal stuff she doesn't know. However, she told me that this stone is a gemstone, commonly known as amber, and that it has another function besides being a catalyst, which is anti-reconnaissance. I don't know why, as long as this stone is placed in any fixed place, the area within a radius of thousands of miles around the area cannot be detected, that is to say, it is equivalent to a protective film or invisibility cloak, which can form a permanent anti-detection defense in a specific area, but if the stone is moved, this stealth state will be automatically lifted. The piece in her hand wasn't complete, just a fragment that she had stolen from the lab before the Seventh Division began massacring my people, and it was a fragment that would keep everyone safe within a hundred miles. Before she died, she felt sorry for my people and wanted to give it to my people as a gift from Zuihou. Hopefully, when we can settle down, we can use the properties of the stone to protect us from being harassed by outsiders. Later, we came to this lonely soul mountain after several tribulations, and I hid the stone here so that it could become the guardian stone to protect our original village, and this stone has been protecting us until now. I believe that Biru's soul must live here, and it is her love that guards this place. Although others don't understand her, I have always believed that her love for me and for all the people here has never changed. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Wanlong couldn't control himself from crying anymore. Mo Beitian quietly watched this five-year-old man cry loudly. After hearing the story, he suddenly had mixed feelings, and did not know for a moment how to comfort the chief.
