Chapter 452: The Evil Spirit Appears
"Disappear?!"
Wu Chen exclaimed in his heart.
How is this possible?
That was the king of a country in the Great Yasukuni at that time, even if he fled in a hurry, he was guarded by people who were martial artists, not to mention that there were people who practiced the status of the emperor like Mo.
Who can make him disappear into thin air?
After a while, Wu Chen calmed down, looked at the expression of Shang Mo who had practiced it, and confirmed that he was serious and did not intend to prevaricate himself, and Wu Chen completely calmed down.
Lian Shang Mo was also silent for a moment, as if recalling the events of the year now still gave him a great impact.
"Have you ever heard of the legend of worshipping evil spirits?" Fu Zun Lian Shang Mo finally spoke, and he asked Wu Chen.
Wu Chen shook his head.
Lian Shang Mo was ready to tell him a long story about the worship of evil spirits, which was a tradition that only existed in the Xia Dynasty before the founding of the Great Yasukuo.
"The ruler of the Xia Dynasty, the Qi clan, has always been tyrannical, and has a strict tyranny over his subjects, and even has a habit of cannibalism.
Not only that, the people of the Qi royal court also believe in the sacrifice of evil spirits, and every year they have to use a group of young children as candidates, and wait for the evil spirits to come to the sky to take away the young children, and exchange the lives of young children for the smooth weather of the Qi Dynasty in the coming year. Some of the children who were taken away were children who were not sensible, and some were even infants. ”
"Worship evil spirits? Which ethnic group is this believing?But are there really evil spirits?" Wu Chen couldn't help asking.
Lian Shang Mo shook his head: "No one has ever seen a real evil spirit. ”
"The ancestors of the Qi clan are the descendants of the demon race and the human race, so they have the barbaric power beyond ordinary people. This eccentricity is probably an excuse for their cannibalism, and it is high-sounding. Lian Shang Mo continued.
"The so-called evil spirits have always appeared because the sky has changed color, and the rain has been heavy and lightning and thunder have roared. There are no evil spirits in a storm, but they can take away young children.
This kind of sacrifice made the people panic and miserable, until Emperor Taizong overthrew the Xia Dynasty court and established the Great Yasukuni, the saying of commemorating evil spirits was completely abandoned, and Emperor Taizong solemnly proposed a ban at the Great Jingguo sacrifice ceremony, and no one dared to mention it in the future. After the stability of the rule of Yasukuni for many years, the common people also got out of the fear of sacrificing evil spirits, and the monarchs and ministers tacitly agreed not to mention it.
The evil spirit never appeared again, but the prosperity of the Great Yasukuni was seen by the people. ”
Wu Chen listened to the ancient story and was a little puzzled.
Why are you telling me this, and what does this have to do with Emperor Hengwen's whereabouts?
Fu Zun Lian Mo understood Wu Chen's doubts, and continued unhurriedly: "Back then, when we were escorting Emperor Wen to the border of the sea, a deafening roar suddenly sounded in our ears, and the dazzling thunder and lightning split fire on the sea surface, and the firelight, which was more dazzling than the scorching sun, almost split the heaven and earth in half. Lian Shang Mo recalled the details of the time, and every sentence he said slowly and heavily.
"The air around us was burning, and a powerful force prevented us all from coming forward, and I could almost hear the sound of the sea boiling in the sea.
The heavens and the earth were in a tremour, and when the power subsided and we could go up and take a look, everything in front of us was reduced to ashes. The fish and shrimp in the water in front of him also turned up from the bottom of the river, and the surroundings were as silent as death. He continued.
After a pause, he soothed his emotions and said, "But when we searched carefully, we found that there were some things left in the river, and we found in those fragments that were almost burned to ashes, which were actually things that had been banned for a long time and were needed to sacrifice to evil spirits. ”
Wu Chen's eyes shook, and he understood what he didn't want to say.
Not far away, Sun Tianye and Azhu Azi were ready to eat, and Huangfu Yanqi ate humbly, and they didn't say much, and after eating silently, they each looked for a place to rest.
Looking at Wu Chen and Fuzun Lian Shang Mo who were standing at the end of this area, they knew that Lian Shang Mo was telling Wu Chen a big secret of the current world, which was probably about his life experience.
This was very important to Wu Chen, so they didn't bother.
"Could it be that Emperor Wen's disappearance is related to the evil spirit?" Wu Chen asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that no one has ever seen an evil spirit, and that evil spirit is likely to be a fiction of the Xia Dynasty Qi clan?"
"I can't explain it. Lian Shang Mo nodded repeatedly.
"The colorful dragon scales are necessary to worship the evil spirits, and naturally there are other sacrificial items, but they were all burned out in the fire caused by thunder and lightning, and only these colorful dragon scales remain.
The dragon scales are rare, since the Qi clan was destroyed, the colorful dragon scales have disappeared, and the Qi clan is using the colorful dragon scales to be a lure for evil spirits. ”
"You don't believe in the evil spirits, do you?" Wu Chen looked at Lian Shangmo and asked bluntly.
Practicing Mork paused, and nodded slowly.
"I've been looking for it ever since, and at first a few people who traveled with me believed that someone had taken Emperor Wen away from him, but within a year we searched all the possibilities of reasoning, and we didn't find any clues, and then only I was paranoid that there were no evil spirits, only evil people.
However, it didn't take long for me to insist, and I went to Ligong, and the people who were with me were even more injured, and there was no more news. ”
"Does Saint Lu Yin know the news that the evil spirit has taken away Emperor Wen in this world?" Wu Chen asked.
"Lu Yin tortured us all over the place, and some people couldn't stand it and naturally recruited it, but this is undoubtedly a fantasy in Lu Yin's opinion, he thought that we were deliberately making it up, not only to cover up the truth of Emperor Wen's disappearance, but also to set off rumors in Dajingguo, and to disturb the prosperous world with the horror of evil spirits. Lu Yin strictly ordered, and the news was blocked, and few people in the imperial city knew about it. ”
"So, you ask me about my background, you ask me about my adoptive father's appearance, and you also suspect that I am related to Emperor Hengwen......" Wu Chen said to himself.
"Not bad, because I'm not sure either. Lian Shang Mo said in a calm voice.
"Is there really no one in this world who knows the truth?" Wu Chen was desperate, this question, I'm afraid no one can answer it, he has to continue with this questioning face.
"Is your adoptive father still alive? If I could, I'd like to see him." Lian Shang Mo said earnestly.
Now that he has been given his freedom again, he must find the whereabouts of Emperor Hengwen in his lifetime. This question, the bizarre scene that can't be forgotten, are like a boulder pressed on Fu Zun Lian for a long time, Mo Xin, if he doesn't find out the truth, he can't find relief.
Wu Chen clenched his hands and shook his head.
He...... Already dead?
Looking at Lian Shangmo's excited eyes, Wu Chen couldn't bear to deceive, so he could only say: "There was a sudden accident on the old island where I lived when I was a child, and in that accident, the whereabouts of my adoptive father are unknown, but I believe he should still be alive." ”
"What's going on?" practiced an inexplicable feeling, and the incident in Wu Chen's mouth that was jealous of Mo Shen seemed to be related to the whereabouts of Emperor Hengwen.
Wu Chen shook his head again: "I can't say it now, there are too many involved, I came all the way from Nanyou to the underground palace, and the original purpose was to get the truth at that time and find the whereabouts of my adoptive father."
But to this day, I found that I had more questions to explain. ”
He calmed down, looked up and said to Lian Mo, "If I find him, I will let you see him." ”
Lian Shang Mo wanted to say something, but when he saw that Wu Chen had already turned around to leave, he only said, "Okay." ”
