Chapter 61: Ancient Legends (1)
Lu Lie and the cannibal glanced at each other, if what the three heads said was true, the impact on the amount of information they brought was tantamount to huge.
It turns out that there really are humans who can live in this hellish place!
Moreover, the three heads seemed to be very familiar with this place, and with his guidance, their group could naturally avoid countless risks on the next road.
It's just that what this ugly-looking monster said is completely true?
There is no way to verify his words at the moment. Lu Lie can only judge logically, and there is basically no major contradiction between what he said.
He nodded to the three heads: "If it is really as you say, I sympathize with your plight." But you can rest assured that as long as you don't make any suspicious moves, we will never attack you. ”
However, there are still many doubts about this three-headed monster.
The cannibal said coldly: "Since you say that you are a human being, then why do you have three heads?"
The head in the middle of the three closed his eyes and sighed, "I have dead heads on both the left and right, and they are of no use except to make me look like a monster...... Do you know about conjoined bodies? ”
"Could it be that you were a freak when you were a kid?"
Mitou replied slowly, "My mother was actually pregnant with me when she climbed this tree, but she didn't know it. This tree is filled with an aura called 'evil qi', and all things will become deformed and strange after a long time under the influence of 'evil qi'. Thanks to the evil spirit, I became a freak while I was still in my mother's womb, and I had two more heads than ordinary people. This is the case with the strange inhabitants of this city, and you see all sorts of strange species and absurd phenomena in the trees. ”
After hearing this, for some reason, the cannibal's expression suddenly became extremely aggrieved, and he sat on the ground with his butt and did not react for a long time.
Li Yuan chattered nervously, lifted his clothes and checked his whole body: "Then if we stay here for a long time, will we slowly become monsters?"
The three heads replied, "You don't have to worry. This alienation takes a long time. The creatures here live in the trees for decades or centuries before mutating. But...... If you touch something and get stuck in a tree for decades, I'm not sure what will happen. ”
The cannibal sat on the ground and interjected, "What if that is...... Alone in a tree...... After staying for 12 years, is it still possible to be a normal person?"
Mitou pondered for a moment and replied, "Then it depends on his will...... Under normal circumstances, it has long been alienated by this giant tree. But there are also a handful of strong-willed people who believe that they will always be 'human', and that even if they stay in the giant tree for another fifty years, they will be very little affected. ”
Lu Lie turned his head to glance at the cannibal, but found that he was still lying on the ground, his face was as if he had not heard the words of the three heads.
I don't know what's going on in his head.
Lu Lie immediately asked the second question: "Mr. Santou, the situation is urgent, so I will go straight to the topic." What's going on with this city? Do you have a way to get us out of here?"
The three heads sighed, "Do you want to leave this city?" There are ways to do it, but there are some sinister ones, and I don't necessarily guarantee that you will succeed.
"Right now, the fog of blood resentment outside will continue for a while, and we can't get out. Would you be interested in hearing about the origin of this city, and I can tell you a story about me by the way. ”
Lu Lie knew that this was a matter of life and death, and the more information he had, the more he would naturally benefit himself. He nodded at the moment: "Then there are three heads of labor, I would like to hear about it." ”
"It was a long, long time ago, so far away that I think it was like a dream now. ”
In the hoarse voice of the three heads, a strange history far beyond the imagination of Lu Lie and others slowly unfolded in front of the three of them.
It was the era of the ancient dynasties, and this giant tree that led to the void already existed between heaven and earth.
At that time, there were believers who gathered at the foot of the giant tree and believed that the giant tree was a god. The believers of ancient times respected themselves as the "Giant Tree God Cult", the Giant Tree God Cult was huge, and among the believers there were wealthy families, powerful and high-ranking Xinjiang officials, thaumaturgists who were proficient in mathematics and celestial phenomena, and even more masters of secret art families.
It was the turn of the three-headed father's generation, and a once-in-a-century genius appeared in the Giant Tree God Cult, who was codenamed "Yao" by the people in the sect. This Yao not only comes from a master of secret arts, but on the basis of being proficient in secret arts, he also taught himself mathematics, astrology, divination, architecture, feng shui and other miscellaneous sciences.
Since he became an adult, Yao has joined a branch of the Giant Tree Cult called "Sparrow Yin". And this organization called Bird Yin has gathered countless manpower and built countless models for hundreds of years, just to test a proposition - where does the top of this giant tree lead.
And after Yao joined, he calculated in this organization for nearly fifty years, and when he was seventy years old, he finally brought the right answer to Que Yin - the top of this giant tree leads to the ultimate pure land of human dreams, the world of life and death upside down, the gathering place of the eternal, the country of Huangquan.
In the fable, the country of Huangquan is the land of the dead, and coming there not only means eternal life, but also means that you can meet the deceased there who are no longer alive. There is no doubt that its very existence is an irresistible temptation for mortals. There are people in the Giant Tree God Cult who have lost their beloved sons in old age, some people who have lost the love of their lives due to an accident, some people who are struggling to find the highest mathematical deductions and want to go to Huangquan to ask those deceased mathematicians, and some people who are simply looking for eternal life.
As soon as Que Yin's answer was announced to the world, it immediately caused an uproar and a warm response.
Before the Giant Tree Cult, there were also folk individuals who spontaneously climbed the giant tree. But it was clear that the power of mortals was too small in front of this giant tree that led to heaven and earth, and they all disappeared into the sky. After Bird Yin announced this answer, the Giant Tree Divine Sect, under the instruction of many princes and wealthy clans, organized a team of two thousand martial arts masters, made sufficient preparations, and prepared to charge the top of the giant tree.
In the history of the wilderness, which has been annihilated, the righteous act of this expeditionary force is called the "Expedition of the Giant Tree".
The captain of the expeditionary force held in his hands a "thread" composed of qi qi, which, in theory, could be extended to an infinite length. After the expeditionary force ascended the tree, every time the sun rose, the captain would pull the Qi line to signal to the disciples under the giant tree that they were still alive.
If they pull the two lower lines, it means that they have reached the top of the tree and are embarking on the way back.
If it affects the three lower lines, it means that they have encountered unexpected dangers in the trees, and they may be wiped out.
