Chapter 278: The Legend of the Blood Moon
Although Shen Lin is also an outsider, he has lived in the Eastern Wilderness for more than ten years, so he should be very familiar with the land of the Eastern Wilderness, and he may be able to ask him something.
Of course, Chen An just thought of asking casually, even if he didn't get an answer, he wouldn't have any surprises, and it was a big deal to ask Jiang Xijun and Jiang Luhan, these two people, one is the patriarch of a clan, and the other is an elder of a clan, they will always know something secret and unknown.
Even if the information about the blood moon is more precious, he owes Gao Yang a favor, and before he wants to play the role of a small chess piece behind the scenes, he will give himself time to settle the cause and effect.
So many follow-up Chen An had already planned, but when he was about to take the first step and ask Shen Lin, he was confused by the other party's idiot expression. And just when he wanted to ask clearly, he saw Shen Lin pouting at him.
Chen An looked up at his signal, only to see a faint blood-colored crescent moon hanging high in the sky, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.
"You've been in the Eastern Wilderness for a short time, and you haven't noticed?" Shen Lin's surprised voice sounded in his ears, and then he suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot, the mine is not part of the core of the Eastern Wilderness, and it is normal not to see the blood moon." ”
"The old people of the Eastern Wilderness say that the curse of the Eastern Wilderness comes from the blood moon, which is the punishment of the gods for the betrayal of their ancestors, and if the blood moon disappears one day, it means that everyone has been forgiven by the gods. ”
"Betrayal?"
Chen An's face is serious, he likes to listen to stories, not because of the entertainment of the stories, but because the stories can reflect the subjective consciousness, moral concepts, customs and human feelings of the people in a place, which can even analyze the folk customs and livelihood of a place more than specific information. The intelligence is cold and does not carry any emotion, and it is easy for people to think about problems by substituting their own concepts, so even accurate information will analyze the wrong results.
"Yes, the betrayal of the Great General King. I don't know specifically, but that's what the old people say. Shen Lin said without any sense of substitution: "But now no one cares about this, he is busy earning his life every day, who still has the heart to care about whether he is guilty or not." ”
"Well," Chen An nodded and commented, "Self-helpers, God helps." Just keep improving yourself, there really is no need to pay attention to curses, destiny and the like. ”
Shen Lin laughed: "Actually, it's not, people should have dreams, for example, Uncle Han believes in this, thinking that one day the blood moon will disappear, and the Eastern Wilderness will return to prosperity no less than that of the Central Plains." There are also the old stubborn aliens, who sincerely believe that the age of the blood moon will eventually end, that the Great General King will forgive them for their betrayal, and even for so many years, some ancient Inhuman clans have retained the tradition of sacrifice in the hope of atonement for their sins. ”
"Inhuman?" Chen Anqi said, the life of the great general fought in all directions, the demon suppressed the abyssal sea, the ghost town of the nine secluded, the demon chased the wasteland, and even the gods were exiled to the chaotic time and space outside the central realm, and the alien who claimed to be a god descendant would feel guilty about the great general king, what kind of situation is this?
"The descendants of the gods are nothing but the product of the hybridization of gods and men and the old gods who fell to the throne, neither the human race nor the gods will treat them, and the great general king did not use his blood to be despicable, took them in exile, gave them food and clothing, gave them a station, and relied on them as an arm, leading them to conquer the heavens and all the worlds, making immortal feats, and giving them the foundation for survival. Therefore, the first generation of strangers regarded the general king as a master and regarded himself as a slave. But later, because of some things, they also betrayed the Great General King, so the Blood Moon Linkong has always been considered to be the punishment given to them by the heroic soul of the Great General King. ”
Chen An's eyes narrowed slightly, what about blood, this thing has not been completely abandoned even in the Central Dynasty, and it is even more marketable in today's Eastern Wilderness, such as the clan system that has always existed.
It can be seen how deeply rooted the bloodline theory is, so you can imagine how much people were obsessed with bloodline 10,000 years ago. The meanness of the great general's praise for the merits of these aliens is enough to wash away their bloodline, and it is indeed a reinvention of grace, so that their betrayal, in whatever form it takes, violates the concept of loyalty that is common to all races. It is no wonder that they blame themselves for this, and even after 10,000 years, they still disgrace their children and grandchildren.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that they may know more about the legend of the Blood Moon, and know more secrets, if they really can't find the answer in the Twelve Cities, they might as well go to these Inhuman tribes and ask, they should be able to get what they want.
"Where did the Blood Moon curse come from?" Chen An detached himself from his thoughts and asked the key to the question.
This time, Shen Lin thought for a moment before saying, "This seems to involve the personal blade of the Great General King, the Ancient Divine Weapon-Blood Moon Knife. But if you want to say that it can change the climate and landform of the entire continent, what kind of artifact does this have to be, anyway, I don't think it's reliable. ”
"Legends, is there no real record?" Chen An couldn't help frowning, it was all legends and myths, how could these mysterious things be used as evidence?
Shen Lin sneered: "Are you kidding? You must know that the Great General Wang is a mythical figure of the last era, tens of thousands of years ago, and there has been a change of epochs in the middle, and history is broken. How much of his deeds are true, how many fictions are not verifiable, and it would be good to have myths and legends to hear to you, what else do you want?"
Chen An said, indeed, as far as he knew, the Twelve Liancheng was only established more than a thousand years ago with the help of foreign forces, and even after the Twelve Liancheng was really established, it was also hit by several devastating blows from the Central Dynasty, Inhumans, and Blood Demons, and almost broke the inheritance.
Thousands of years ago, there were large and small tribal clans on the Eastern Wilderness Continent, they were afraid of aliens, ancient beasts, and blood demons, hiding and hiding in the entire Eastern Wilderness, lingering, how could there be any culture worth inheriting to show people, and it was already very good to be able to retain the two ways of survival of refining qi and sealing souls. In addition, he asked Shen Lin, who belonged to outsiders, so it was even more impossible to know some ancient secrets in the clan.
So he simply changed the topic and asked, "What are the alien forces around Qingfu City, which is worth everyone's headache?"
He changed the topic quickly, but Shen Lin didn't eat him at all, and said to the essence of the question: "You want to ask what Inhuman tribes will conduct Blood Moon Worship." ”
Chen An touched his nose embarrassedly, he really didn't give up, and his personality is the same, once he decides something, he won't let it go easily, since the matter of the blood moon can't be asked to Shen Lin, then naturally he can only find a clear person to ask, not limited to people or strangers.
Shen Lin didn't have much thought about this, and didn't wait for Chen An to say anything else to cover up, and replied directly: "Almost all the gods in the Eastern Wilderness are the descendants of the great general Wang Gongcong back then, that is to say, almost all the Inhumans in the Eastern Wilderness will carry out blood moon worship, if you want to ask, where is the legendary blood knife, then you don't need to ask the Inhuman tribe anymore, I can tell you directly, go to the coast of the East China Sea thousands of miles away to find it." ”
Chen An's eyes lit up: "Where did you get this answer?"
Shen Lin sneered disdainfully again and said, "Do you think you're the only one who wants to break the curse of the Blood Moon?"
"How?"
"Although the Blood Moon Curse is just an ancient rumor, after living in this ghost place in the Eastern Wilderness for a long time, there will always be some desperate and crazy people who want to break it all. For example, the ancestors of the Twelve Cities came up with the idea of the Blood Moon after experiencing the impact of the Blood Demon Tide several times and attacking Taiyi Pass to no avail. They are not like the ignorant aliens who never believe in the nonsense that they are guilty of and need atonement. ”
"Later, more people were exiled to the Eastern Wilderness, and everyone's awe of the Blood Moon became less and less as time passed, and more and more people went forward one after another to find the truth of the Blood Moon curse. This reached its peak more than a hundred years ago, and some megalomanians even suggested organizing a major eastward migration to explore the way eastward with the strength of the clan. So there was a plan to go to the big dry mine to plunder cannon fodder. ”
"But unfortunately, at that time, it was Zhenguo Gong who was in charge of the Central Dynasty, and the counterattack came immediately, not only did everyone not plunder anything, but they also lost a large number of people, and even more than half of the big clans were wiped out, and the vitality of the twelve cities was greatly damaged. A large number of dead people have formed several blood demon tides, and the survivors have abandoned their previous suspicions and worked together to survive to this day, becoming the twelve cities you see now, in fact, the twelve cities you see today were not called this name more than a hundred years ago, but were called ten thousand city-states. ”
Chen An could imagine the tragedy of the war more than a hundred years ago when he heard what he said, but he was still concerned about the key point of the problem: "After paying so much, have they found a solution to the Blood Moon Curse?"
"No, if you find it, how can it still be like this now", Shen Lin shook his head, thinking of the current situation of the Twelve Liancheng, and he didn't have the heart to laugh at Chen An's idiot, and continued: "They only determined one direction from the alien race, and that is the coast of the East China Sea. ”
Chen An raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about the people who went to explore?"
"No", Shen Lin shook his head again: "None of them came back." ”
Chen Anxin was stunned: "The coast of the East China Sea is so dangerous?"
Shen Lin's eyes were confused: "I don't know, maybe they didn't reach the coast of the East China Sea at all, there are too many demons on the road, and the further east they go, the stronger they become." We can now control the cloud ship to soar in the sky, mainly because it is close to the border of the Eastern Wilderness and there are not many demons, even so, the channel traveled by the cloud ship was also explored by the ancestors with blood and tears. As for going deep into the Eastern Wilderness, the aliens don't dare to show their might, it's the home of demons......"
Suddenly, the cloud ship that was moving normally rushed down, broke away from the clouds, and arrived at the earth.
A huge city appeared in front of Chen An's eyes, but Chen An didn't look carefully, but suddenly looked back and looked back......
