Chapter 36: Nethers
At that moment, a man in black had already stepped forward and took the phoenix girl Kuna to continue treatment. Fortunately, with the physique of a sixth-order cultivator, as long as he hangs his life, recovery is a matter of time or time, and there is no danger of deterioration.
And Nangong and the others were taken to a barracks by Longnan Kuqi, and after a short rest, they began to drink heartily. When the day dawns, he will take them to meet the elders of the clan.
After three rounds of drinking, they also have a certain familiarity with each other, and when Nangong talked about the intention of himself and others, as well as the experience of meeting Imo on the road, Cooney interjected: "When I meet Imo, I can come back alive, I have to say...... Nangong, you guys are really fateful!"
"Why do you say that?" Ye Jian Zangqi said: "Although the immortal sacrifice is indeed a little troublesome, it is not as terrifying as the legend and can destroy the world, at least...... This nerd's karma can hurt him. ”
"And the same goes for the purifying light of the ice cube face. Liang Zi added.
"I don't know about karma and purifying light, but the legend is true. According to the texts of our people, the world has been destroyed, but it has been reborn now......" Couney sighed.
"And such a thing?"
"I want to hear about it. The crowd was moved.
With a contemplative expression on his face, Cooney said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have come from Procity, and I believe you have seen and heard something on the way...... Everywhere you go, do you only see deserts? Except for deserts, or deserts...... Even the towns where people live are covered by wind and sand all year round?"
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and then nodded yes.
The situation is really as Cooney said, from the moment he stepped out of the teleportation array, even in the capital of Aiji Island, he looked at it as far as the eye could see. It is all pale yellow, perennially covered with wind and sand, with very low visibility and very little greenery.
At first, everyone thought that the climate and environment here were like this, so they didn't pay much attention to it. But now it seems that ......
"Could it be something else?"
"Eggy Island more than a thousand years ago. That's not the case...... And Hamna Tower is not the capital of the dead today, but the real capital where the king lives. According to historical records, at that time, Aiji Island was still a closed and isolated island, and the footprints of the Hundred Ethnic Alliance to explore the world had not yet reached here. In the eyes of the Aiji people, this island is, of course, the whole world...... Scold. Of course, this is just a kind of ignorance that sits in the well and watches the sky......"
Laughing at himself, Cooney continued: "At that time, the island of Aiji was an endless sea outside, and there were countless lakes and rivers inside, and people could find sweet water and green trees wherever they went. On the ground, there is always green grass. The sky is vast and the grass is blown by the wind and the cattle and sheep are low...... All in all, it's a place full of greenery and life......"
"And then?"
"And then? Then Imo appeared, and then everything changed. ”
Kuni remembered the historical records, and couldn't help but be horrified: "In the legend, it is said that Imo returned from hell. There is boundless power, and although it is not the case, it is not far off. Holding the Bible of the Dead, he summoned a black hurricane of death that destroyed the entire world......"
Speaking of which. He suddenly glanced at Nangong and pointed at something.
Nangong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a somewhat strange expression: "The death hurricane you are talking about...... It can't be just a black hurricane outside, right?"
"Exactly. Cooney nodded, then continued, "The scariest thing about Hurricane Black is that once it is called, it never stops. It is weak at first, but over time, it will attract everything around it to strengthen itself, and finally it will be out of control. More than 1,000 years ago, Imo relied on this black hurricane to turn the entire island of Aiji into a world of wind and sand, cutting off all life, and until today, more than 1,000 years later, it has not fully recovered. ”
Nangong smiled bitterly and explained, "Brother Kuni, to be honest...... I really don't know why that black hurricane started, and I don't know why it stayed outside and didn't leave......"
"The Black Hurricane is caused by the Bible of the Dead and is controlled only by the Bible of the Dead. Maybe it was summoned when the scriptures were still in Imo's hands before, but now that the scriptures have changed hands, the hurricane senses the call of the Bible of the dead, and it doesn't necessarily follow you. Cooney guessed.
"Bible of the Dead...... Hurricane ......"
Hearing him say this, Nangong's heart suddenly moved, and then, he suddenly subconsciously glanced at Lin Xuanran beside him. Just at this time, Lin Xuanran also looked over: "Could it be?"
"Impossible, right?!"
"What if?"
"What if...... It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?"
The two exchanged a few glances, and they all thought of going together.
On the day he snatched the Undead Bible from Yi Mo's hand, when Nangong Sect Lin Xuanran used the Necromantic Bible, the first incantation he recited happened to be the incantation that summoned the storm. And the summoned storm happens to be black, very similar to today's Black Hurricane, but not so large.
If the Black Hurricane really started because of himself, then Nangong only thought of this one possibility. Could it be that this black hurricane was really the storm that Lin Xuan summoned that day?
Nangong thought about it and decided to tell the truth. In any case, the tomb guards have guarded the capital of the dead for generations, and they will definitely know a lot of the inside story that they don't know, so it's good to say it and ask him to help you take a closer look.
Yes or no, maybe after saying it, there will be a conclusion.
So Nangong confessed: "Brother Kuni, this black hurricane may really be summoned by us, and it may not be ......."
Cooney was stunned and asked him why.
"That's the ......" Nangong smiled bitterly and told the story of the day. After finishing speaking, he felt a little weak and found out the Bible of the Dead.
"Brother Nangong, you are actually able to use the Bible of the Dead?!" Kuni suddenly exclaimed, his face excited.
Nangong was stunned, he thought that he would blame or even be hostile, but he didn't expect such a reaction. But after thinking about it, he still replied truthfully: "To be precise, it's not me who can use it, but us." ”
Seeing Cooney's face puzzled. He pointed at Lin Xuanran and explained, "Although I can read the spell, I can't cast it. And although she has the ability to cast it, she can't read it. So, it takes the two of us to work together to successfully cast the mantra in the scriptures. Of course, now she knew the spells. You can also cast it yourself. So, to be more precise, the person who uses the scriptures is not me, but Uproar. ”
"But ......"
Cooney was even more confused, puzzled: "As the name suggests, the Bible of the Dead represents an absolute dark force, and Dr. Lin is ...... If I'm not mistaken, she's supposed to be a very rare light-based magician, right? Light and darkness can't coexist, how did she cast it?"
"Big Brother Cooney. Don't you know......" Nangong laughed, and said with Yourong: "Xuanran, she is not a pure light magician, but a thousand years old...... In addition to the power of light, there is also the power of darkness...... It's only because the power of darkness is too violent to control that it's sealed......"
"Light and darkness shine together!"
Before Nangong finished speaking, Kuni suddenly stood up "Huo".
He was excited. almost overturned the wine table, which provoked Ye Jianzang, who was satisfying his hunger, to complain repeatedly. But Cooney just didn't hear it. He looked at Nangong and Lin Xuanran, and then asked with a serious face, "You mean...... The legend says that light and darkness coexist...... Light and darkness shine together?"
"That's right. ”
"There is salvation!
Hearing Nangong's answer, Cooney suddenly shouted in ecstasy. Then, he pulled up Nangong and Lin Xuanran, and said urgently: "I didn't expect that Dr. Lin turned out to be a body of light and darkness. Matters. Brother Nangong, Doctor Lin, let's go, you will follow me to see the Great Elder immediately!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but say, and directly pulled the two of them out.
Just at this moment, a man in black came to knock on the door and shouted, "Brother Kuni, the Great Elder has a message." When you hear that a distinguished guest is coming, please take your guest to meet him immediately. ”
Brother Nangong, Doctor Lin, the Great Elder usually retreats most of the time, and rarely sees outsiders, but I didn't expect that as soon as you came, he would immediately find a room, which is really good. Kuni said a word, and then urged: "Let's go quickly, don't let the Great Elder wait!"
Liang Zi suddenly asked the person who reported the news: "Didn't it mean that the genius saw you? Why did you suddenly advance it? Did your great elder say what happened?"
The man suddenly smiled mysteriously, clenched his fists and replied, "The Great Elder said that as long as his name is reported, you may be more anxious than him. ”
Nangong's heart suddenly moved, and he seemed to have guessed something, so he asked: "Then I don't know what your elder's name is......"
"Nethers. ”
Really!
Nethers, the descendant of the Grim Reaper that Dean Bao said, is indeed among the tomb guards, and he is also the most respected Great Elder in their clan. It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.
In this case, of course Nangong and the others would not refuse, so they followed Kuni and the man in black out.
When I went out to the outside of the barracks, I realized that before I knew it, it was the beginning of a faint light.
Many of the men in black stayed up all night, led by the other elders of their clan, to search for the lurking Omegas.
Cooney's eldest brother, Kutch, was impersonated, which caused a great sensation after the tomb keepers. Kuqi is the next successor of the second elder, and he is the veritable second-in-command of the tomb guarding family, and he was killed unknowingly, and he almost used his identity to cause a catastrophe, such a thing is definitely worth treating with the most serious attitude. The tomb guards threatened: We must see people in life and corpses in death.
At the same time, it is necessary to find out the spies and torture them. This small world is so big, and the only exit is guarded, she will definitely not be able to escape! So, even if she scrapes the ground, she must be searched.
The tomb guards, including the old and weak women and children, although there are thousands of people, but they have lived here for thousands of years, and they are also familiar with each other as if they were their left hand to their right hand, and now that they are on guard, it is impossible for Omega to impersonate anyone again, as for how to search her out, Cooney said that the tomb guards naturally have a way, and there is no need for Nangong to bother.
They hadn't gone far before they stopped in front of a stone house that was as tall as a temple.
"Here, please wait a minute, I'll go in and make a message. The man in black arched his hand.
"Please. Nangong nodded.
Suddenly, I saw a stone tablet erected in front of the stone house, with some strange symbols engraved on it, and I felt a little curious, so I walked up and took a look.
Who knows that when you look at it, you will find that these symbols are not the runes in your imagination, but a sentence.
“Thecycleoflifeanddeathcontinues.Iwilllive,youwilldie.”
In a short sentence, it seems to contain some very profound philosophy. It's like a spell, but it's not a spell. It's like a prophecy, but it's not a prophecy, which attracts Nangong to read it over and over again, and he can't stop at all.
Ye Jianzang suddenly came up and asked quietly, "Hey, nerd...... What are you looking at? These patterns are so strange...... Is it a rune? But it's not like it...... It's not like my house at all. ”
"Oh no, it's not a rune. Nangong came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's just a sentence." It's written in a very old script, and it's not surprising that you can't read it. ”
Ye Jianzang had no intention of competing with him in linguistics, so he just asked, "What words?"
"Life and death, reincarnation is endless. I will live and you will die. ”
"Life and Death...... Reincarnation is not stopped, I will give birth to ...... You will die ......" Ye Jianzang muttered and repeated a few times, a little confused: "This sentence seems to be specifically said to someone." Who is this "I"? And who is "you"? and...... Is there really a reincarnation between life and death?"
"Who knows?" Nangong shrugged, "This stone tablet ...... Looking at the age, it should be quite old, I think it should be handed down by the ancestors of the tomb guarding family thousands of years ago...... If you want to know that, just ask Big Brother Cooney? I think he'll know very well. ”
"Okay, I'll ask ......."
Ye Jianzang was about to speak, but the man in black had already walked out: "Brother Kuni, and everyone, the Great Elder is invited." ”
"Then Brother Nangong, let's go in. Cooney said this, and led the way.
Nangong followed, and Lin Xuanran followed, but when Liang Zi, Ye Jianzang, Lu Yun and Eve wanted to follow in, they were stopped by the man in black: "Several, I'm really sorry, the Great Elder didn't say that he wanted to meet a few of you." ”
Liang Zi was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, and asked a little displeased: "But he didn't say he couldn't see it, did he?"
"But ......"
The man in black was about to say something, but Liang Zi preemptively said, "No, but." Wherever my brother goes, I will go with him, our brother and sister are never separated, and we are all of us. Although your status as a great elder is noble, you can't be forcibly separated, right?"
The implication is that there is a bit of accusation, saying that this Great Elder Nethers is putting up a fight. In fact, Liang Zi was worried that they were not familiar with the place and would be in danger.
It's unlikely, but it's always a good idea to be careful when you're away from home.
"The girl is serious!" the man in black understood what she meant, and the scene changed.
looked back at Nangong again, and sure enough, he saw that he had stopped and said sorry to himself. Although the words are humble, the attitude is very firm, and there is a great meaning of "everyone doesn't see me".
The upright Kuni didn't know why Nangong and the others were so insistent, he didn't notice that the atmosphere in the room was a little weird, and he was still smiling and beckoning everyone into the hall.
The cold sweat of the man in black came down, but fortunately, at this time, an old and deep voice came from inside: "It's okay, please let them in......" (To be continued.) )
