Chapter 2: Doom
On the continent of Osria, since the accession of the human race, the forces have been divided in the following eras. To the north is the Cold City, to the south is the Oblivion City, and to the west is the Holy City, where the gods are said to have commanded battles. The central part of the abyss is obliquely passed by, and the descendants are called the blood abyss, and the middle part of the blood abyss is a ghost city and a city, and the eastern area is a gathering place for the mountains, where the area is incomparably huge, and it is a paradise for wild beasts. At the end of this continent is an ocean, and no one knows how big the ocean is, or whether there are continents in the ocean.
In the northern part of Hancheng, there is a river that flows westward, which is the river left behind by the retreat of the Yellow River, called the Suling River, and according to legend, it is a place where the souls of the dead live. And in the southern part of the holy city there are several towering mountains, called the Ten Thousand Saints' Mountains, in honor of that god. In addition, there is also the Valley of the Dead, which is a forbidden place. There is a cliff in the northeast of Dongling, and the breath at the bottom is heart-wrenching. This is a forbidden place in the eyes of the wild beast, and it is called the end of the world.
In the west of Wuyiya, the environment is beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and the grass and trees are flourishing. But there are no beasts here, but it cannot be said that there are no humans.
There is a pond here, and the surface of the water is calm, and you can see fish swimming around through the water.
A dull "plop" sound sounded in the small pond here, and not long a small head poked out of the pond. A smug smile appeared on her immature face, and she smiled and said to a little girl by the pond: "Look, I caught a fish, haha, it's a big one." "Just finished speaking. With a "snap", the fishtail slapped the left side of the boy's face, and it was instantly red.
"Haha, brother, let you be proud, look, you will be punished. The little girl said with a smile next to her. The girl was cute, with a hint of blush on her fair face and long hair tied back at the waist.
"Okay, you dare to laugh at my brother, then we will eat fish tonight, you drink soup, you must know that fish soup is much better than fish, see how much my brother feels sorry for you. The boy walked out of the pond and said cautiously as he walked.
"Stinky brother, you can only drink soup, I want to eat fish. The girl said as she stared at the boy with her waist thrust in her back.
"Hey, my aunt is bullying my brother again, and I want to complain to my father. The boy pretended to be pitiful.
"Hmph, you dare!" he said, stepping towards the boy, and two white hands beckoned to the boy's waist.
"Ah, my aunt, I was wrong, don't pinch, I can't catch the fish. The boy begged the girl for mercy. But the boy was negligent for a moment. With a "snap", the fishtail pumped smoothly to the right side of the boy's face, and the whole face turned red.
"Hehe, brother, you are really good-looking now. The girl let go of her hand. He laughed.
"Well, my aunt, you see it's not early, let's go back quickly. Or maybe my father would have been worried about us. The boy looked at the setting sun and digressed.
"Well, well, we can make up for my father's fish this time. I don't know when my father's illness will be cured. The girl said with a worried look.
"yes, but this fish is so hateful, I'm going to eat his tail. The boy looked cautiously at the fishtail and said viciously.
The boy's expression and movements made the girl laugh again, but she didn't notice the worry in the boy's eyes.
Not far from the southern part of the pond, there are a humble house, made entirely of wood, and the area is not very large.
In one of the rooms of the house was a majestic man, not very old, but his temples had turned gray. The man looked at a portrait on the wall, and then said, "Xinning, it's been six years, it's been six years." Our children have grown up, I have lived up to your wishes, I can't help you avenge your revenge, Xinning, I'm sorry, but our children were born with a spirit seal, and they will definitely help you avenge our clan. Xinning, they are very well-behaved and sensible now, especially Shu Yao, she looks a lot like you. The man had a sad expression on his face, and tears were already flowing uncontrollably.
"Father, we're back, hey, second uncle, why are you here, aren't you going to the market?" the boy asked when he saw the man with the scar on his face in the courtyard.
"Yunluo, you caught a fish, hey, why are you red, are you shy if you haven't seen your second uncle for a day. The second uncle asked.
"Second uncle, that, I miss you so much, excited, oops, second uncle, don't laugh at me, by the way, what about my father?" Yunluo scratched his head and asked embarrassedly.
"Hehe, second uncle, my brother was whipped by a fish's tail. Shu Yao said happily.
"Who missed me, how long has it been since I saw you, where have you been going to play again?" asked the father as he pushed open the door and smiled.
"Father, my brother's face was flushed by the fish's tail. Shu Yao saw his father happily trotting over and hugging his father and said.
The father picked her up and said to Yunluo: "Then let Yunluo gnaw the tail of the fish today." ”
"Hey, father, you're crying, you have tears on your face. Shu Yao said, raising her hand and touching her father's face.
"Father, are you alright?" Yunluo threw the fish to the ground and ran over.
The father and the second uncle were very pleased, and the father put Shu Yao down gently, touched Shu Yao's head dotingly, and was silent for a long time. The second uncle looked at them, walked over and pulled his father aside, and said to Yunluo and Shu Yao: "Yunluo, Shu Yao, you go and scrape the scales of the fish, and the second uncle will cook fish for you to eat at night." ”
"Oh, we're going. Yunluo pulled Shu Yao hard, picked up the fish, walked to the corner of the yard, and scraped the fish scales.
"Big brother, there is a new situation, I went to the market today to buy some things for these two children but found that someone was following me, it seems that we can't stay in this place for long, hey, six years have passed, haven't they given up yet, it's really hateful, maybe you should tell them the truth, otherwise it's too late." The second uncle clenched his fists and said angrily.
"But they're still so young, well, okay. Father turned his head to look at Shu Yao and Yunluo and said.
"Hey, brother, my father must have something to hide from us, and we can't let him be sad anymore. You've got to figure it out. Shu Yao pulled Yunluo's arm and whispered.
"I know, I'm thinking, yes, my aunt, that's it, at dinner today, I'll ask my father what he's hiding from us, and if he doesn't say it, you'll cry, and it's going to be miserable, you know, I'm sure that's what my father will say. Yunluo said while scraping the fish scales.
"Well, it's a good way, but, brother, why don't you cry?" Shu Yao asked as he looked at Yunluo's red face.
"Ha, who is your brother, a man who stands up to the sky, how can I cry. Ahh Yunluo let out a small howl in pain, tears soaking up in his eyes.
"Ah, our manly man is crying. Shu Yao pretended to sigh
The night in Dongling is not calm, the roar of beasts can be heard from a long distance, looking at the shadowy ridge in the distance, it is inevitable to feel frightened, but today's night light is very bright, like the moonlight like water surrounds here, adding a touch of softness and serenity to the night. The fragrance of flowers in the distance is close and refreshing.
"Yunluo, Shu Yao, come on, the fish is cooked. The second uncle shouted at the top of his voice.
From afar, you can ask the question, and the smell of fish is permeating.
"Father, second uncle, you must eat more, my brother said that he only drinks soup. Shu Yao took two large bowls and put them on their table.
"Oh, Shu Yao, get down to business, cry quickly. Yunluo revealed a look of hatred of iron and steel, and knocked on Shu Yao's head.
"Stinky brother, you hit me. Shu Yao reflexively pinched Yunluo's waist with a pair of claws.
"Ah!!h
"Okay, my aunt, spare your brother, sit down, I'll tell you a long story, that was before the second dark turmoil, that is, the second human civilization Kun Ji who disappeared in the eyes of the world, his disappearance involved our family, our original surname was Mu, in Kun Ji is the master of the Holy City, the strength is the strongest among the five cities, because we have the most spirit seals, and we will collect the spirit seals in accordance with the decree of the gods, but at the end of the Kun Dynasty, the cold city, the ghost city and the oblivion city formed a coalition to launch a war against us, and at this critical moment, the lord of the city led the army to help。 At this time, we blocked their coalition forces in the narrow strip between the southern end of the Blood Abyss and the Valley of the Styx, and their coalition forces were completely defeated by us, and the corpses of the enemy almost filled the Valley of the Underworld. Just when we thought victory was coming, Xue Nai, the youngest son of Sharon, the lord of the ghost city, unexpectedly received the Doom Seal, and the enemy army was overjoyed and began to help him awaken the Spirit Seal at all costs and help him master the power of the Spirit Seal. Can everything change the tide of the battle because of one person? Obviously, no, but then they actually invited out some of the wild beasts, and suddenly our pressure doubled. Under their second attack, they stormed the mirror of the city of Riyu and began to approach the holy city. Bian Lan, the lord of the city, has a dark mark in his palm, and his power is also very powerful, and the shattered shadow is facing Sharon, and both of them are injured. And our city lord has the Death Seal, which is a more powerful spirit seal, and the biggest purpose of their war should be this spirit seal. The city lord faced the lord of the three cities at the same time, and both sides fought very hard, but at this time, the army of desolate beasts broke this balance, and the desolate beasts attacked our city lord, and were finally seriously injured by their cooperation. All of us began to retreat north after being defeated, until we retreated to the north of the Holy City, and at this time, the bad news came, Bian Lan died, and the dark seal was passed to his son Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan could not send out the power of the dark seal, and led the army of the city to withdraw from the war, we made matters worse, the city lord realized that we would be defeated, so he began to choose the people to enter the escape route, the city lord chose two routes, one is to follow the blood abyss, enter the city mirror and flee south, and the other is to enter the territory of the city from the Wansheng Mountain in the south of the holy city, the enemy army gathered in the city of oblivion, they will not think that we dare to enter their territory。 So everyone on this road managed to escape. Bypassed the blood abyss and entered the territory of the Hidden City, and settled in the southern corner of the Hidden City, changing his surname to Murong. ”
"Father, what about the people on the other road?" Shu asked crying.
"Hey, they're all dead, and our people have just fled to the middle of the city when they are discovered, and this has brought even greater disaster to the city. Our people were killed, and almost all of the surviving people of the city were killed this time. And because most of the dark seals were sealed by power, and the other spirit seals in the city were not as powerful as the dark seals, and our fugitives did not bring the spirit seals, all the spiritual seals given by our people were left in the holy city to fight. So our people were killed, Ye Xuan and his people were also hunted down, they fled to the Stygian Valley, so they were almost not wiped out, but Ye Xuan was angry at this time and thought that we did it on purpose, because he thought that the city would not help us, so we wanted them to exterminate the race, and he was full of hatred for the behavior he mistakenly thought that we would take revenge, and since then the city has a great estrangement from us. It wasn't long before the final decisive battle between the enemy and us arrived, and the number of their allied forces was unbelievable. The beast army and the humans together are simply invincible, and the enemy army has many more spirit seals than ours. But we warriors are not afraid, and the city lord is not afraid. But at this moment, a large group of monsters surged out of the blood abyss, they looked like people, but they had horns on their heads, and they had strong defenses, and as soon as they rushed out, they attacked our people and the enemy army at the same time. After a while, we and the enemy army suffered heavy losses, and then all those who had been given the spirit seal gathered together and launched a counterattack against the group of monsters. The monster was struck to the northern part of the Blood Abyss and sealed, and since then, it has become a forbidden place. As soon as the monster was repulsed, the enemy army immediately killed us, and our clan fought desperately, and the city lord even faced Xue Nai, Sharon and the other city lords and the beast spirit seal giver alone. Their attack can be seen clearly in the moving mountains, and finally the city lord fell, and the death seal was thrown into the blood abyss by him, more than ninety percent of the spirit seal was lost in this battle, and the enemy's goal was not only not completed, but also suffered heavy losses. Now the spirit seal is unfamiliar to most people, and most people are living an ordinary life. ”
"They deserve it, who let them rob us of our spirit seal!" Yunluo said angrily.
"What followed was a period of peace, an era of balance between man and beast. Ye Xuan took his people to recapture the city, and because they did not participate in the final battle, they left the most spirit seals, and now their strength is also the strongest, and those desolate beasts that participated in the war were also sanctioned by the four beast kings, and were forever deprived of the opportunity given by the spirit seal. And after a long period of development, our clansmen in the south of the ghost city have also become an unknown family, and during this period, they have obtained a spirit seal, and I didn't expect it to become so lonely when I became the patriarch. The father said with a lonely expression.
"Hey, big brother, how can I blame you, if it weren't for that kid Xue Weeping, how could we be so lonely?!" the second uncle comforted his father.
"Well, six years ago, Xin Ning gave birth to you, it was a dragon and phoenix fetus, and we were all very happy, but at this moment, a spirit seal fell, with a brilliant light, and rushed straight towards you, the spirit seal chose its own master This is the first time since ancient times, this must be an incomparably powerful spirit seal. But I was frightened in my heart, because if there was no seal before the spirit seal entered the body, it would make the master explode and die immediately, I immediately launched the phantom seal I mastered to block, this spirit seal can be said to be not very powerful, only a special effect, the spirit seal emitted a huge power to shake me away, Xin Ning even lay on you, at this moment, a palm grabbed the spirit seal, it is the current lord of the ghost city Xue Weeping, he inherited the seal of doom, but also because he was on the throne not long ago, the spirit seal was also in a state of being sealed, so he did not catch the spirit seal, was shocked by the power of the spirit seal, so he was angry, and sent out the combat power that he could use to attack the spirit seal again, Because the spirit seal is not very far from Xinning, I want to protect Xinning so I rush forward, but this blow not only directly killed Xinning, but also seriously injured me, I didn't have time to stop it, I hate! Next, the spirit seal protector sent out a more powerful power to seriously injure Xue Wai, I want to hunt him down, but as the patriarch I can't do this, I know that Xue Cry will come again, at that time there is a danger of extinction, your spirit seal was consumed out of energy, in the sky split into two and submerged into your body, I buried Xin Ning in the forest in the west of Tianyun Town, and began to flee with the clansmen, Xue Wai really did not give up, and dispatched an old antique, we suffered heavy losses on the way to escape, and finally escaped into the Stygian Valley, using the illusion seal to make them lost, and then we fled all the way north, which is where we are nowOn the way, due to the attack of the wild beasts, we lost a lot of people, and when we arrived here, only you were left, me and your second uncle. The father's expression was extremely low, and there were tears in his eyes.
"Father, we will definitely take revenge!" replied Yunluo with tears on his face and an angry expression. Shu Yao threw herself into her father's arms again, wiping her tears for her father.
By this time the night was deep, the moon had hidden in the clouds, the darkness had reached the ground, and the beast's roar was still ringing, adding a touch of sadness to the place.
"But you can't be impulsive, I still don't know what the spirit seal in your body is, I sealed the spirit seal in your body with the help of the phantom seal, but the phantom seal can't seal the spirit seal in your body for a long time, what I'm worried about is that if the seal in your body is loosened, then you will suffer great pain, now if you go out, you must not reveal your identity, we can now say that the world is the enemy, there is a chance to go to the city no matter how they do to you, you must not hurt anyone, and what we need now is forbearance, wait until your spirit seal is completely recovered, and you can only take revenge after you completely master this power。 Father cleaned up his mood and admonished.
"Well, we know, father, that you have endured so much, and leave it to us now! Come, father, I will help you into the house, and let my brother clean it up. Shu Yao said to his father.
"Could it be that I can't walk yet, slender, clouds falling, from tomorrow onwards, you must consciously exercise and strive to stimulate the potential of your body, so that when the spiritual seal is loosened, your pain will be reduced, go to bed early, Mu Fan, you can sleep too." ”
"Well, big brother. The second uncle said with a depressed expression.
After his father and second uncle entered the house, Shu Yao asked Yunluo: "Brother, what should we do? Shu Jiao showed an anxious face, and her long silky hair danced in the wind.
Yunluo's hand to pack things paused, looked up at the sky and said: "Whoever kills one of my clan, they will use the lives of the whole clan to pay back, even if the whole world is the enemy, you still have your brother, as well as your father and second uncle, we can't let go of those people!" A kind of qualityless aura diffused from Yunluo's body, and all the flowers around him withered.
In a palace in a secluded city.
"Lord, I felt a familiar aura in a market in Xia Mo Town today, it should be someone from the Murong family six years ago. A man dressed in black knelt on the ground and said to the man in front of him.
The man had black hair, a white and handsome face, a golden dagger between his slender fingers, and a gorgeous robe that set off him with great nobility.
"Did it finally appear, what kind of spirit seal is it, it's really exciting, continue to explore, what news will inform me, it seems that the opportunity for our Xue family to rise has arrived." A smile appeared on Xue Wei's face.
The northernmost part of Dongling, although it is a corner, but the noodle machine is really not small, there are forests, valleys, hollows, clouds falling and Shu Yao threw himself into the pond and panted.
"I'm so tired, if it weren't for the second uncle to let us take a break, I would be exhausted to death. Shu Yao looked at Yunluo's red little face and said.
"Hmph, it's so weak, my aunt, why are you looking at my face, and I didn't smoke me. Yunluo said to Shu Yao puzzled. But a "pop" sounded on Yunluo's head: "Ah, what is this, why does it stink so much." ”
"Hehehehe, brother, that's guano. ”
"What !!"
