Chapter 56: The Unrecorded Past
"You ask about the carrion of a hundred years ago?"
In a corner of the market town, an old man with a wrinkled face sat behind an old table, smoking a dry cigarette.
Beside him, there is a banner full of a sense of age, with three characters on it.
Peep into the sky.
In short, it is a fortune teller.
In the Daotian Continent, there is a supernatural power, called the Derivation Technique, which uses what you see and knows in front of you to deduce the subsequent changes in the situation.
And those who are proficient can use this to spy on the heavenly opportunities.
Of course, this technique is so subtle, there are naturally very few people who are good at it, and most of them claim to be masters of derivation, and most of them are people who know a little bit and come out to cheat.
Fang Hao obviously didn't need to let the bad old man in front of him help him derive anything, in fact, his own cultivation had reached a point that was unimaginable to outsiders.
What he wants to understand is what happened in the past.
And these people who have cultivated derivation, not to mention their proficiency, but all kinds of legends, allusions, market rumors, and gossip must come as soon as they open their mouths.
It can be called a bag inquiry.
"You're asking the right question." The old man came to his senses, sat up straight, and narrowed his eyes, "My grandfather is the one who witnessed the catastrophe, and at that time, he was still a hairy boy......"
Fang Hao slapped a spirit stone on the table: "Tell the point!" ”
"Great!"
The old man suddenly smiled, put away the spirit stone, and looked serious:
"This lord, you should know that the king of carrion beasts has some treasures on him, right?"
Fang Hao nodded, this is a well-known thing.
"Wraith Core."
"yes, that's it.
It is said that this resentful spirit core enriches the power of resentment in the Shadow Abyss, which is a supreme treasure for those who have awakened the Dark Source Dao.
Even if you don't realize the Dark Source Dao and don't use it, you can get amazing returns by selling this thing.
And the cultivation of the king of the carrion beast is not high, and his strength is equivalent to the nine-star Wendao realm, even if the shadow abyss restricts the entry of the strong, but sending a group of Wendao realms to rush up, isn't this resentful spirit core captured? ”
The old man paused, as if waiting for Fang Hao's praise.
Fang Hao glanced at him and didn't squeak.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Ahem......" Seeing that the audience did not cooperate, the old man had no choice but to pick it up himself, "This is all because someone has moved this crooked mind, which has caused a catastrophe, and since then, everyone can only turn a blind eye to the king of carrion beasts." ”
"The Scourge of the Rotting Corpses."
"Yes!"
Seeing that Fang Hao had finally answered, the old man slapped the table and became interested.
"I asked you to say the point, but you are going around in circles, and you don't want the spirit stone anymore?"
"Alas, sir, don't worry, everything has to be foreshadowed."
The old man shook his head helplessly and continued.
"A hundred years ago, the assassin organization was not as full of flowers as it is now, and in the entire Xia Kingdom, there was only one assassin organization - Hades Sect!
Until now, it is also an existence that can wrestle with today's five major sects.
At that time, the Hades Sect had a strong man in the Dao Realm!
If they divide in peace, they may not be able to achieve the status of the five major sects, but unfortunately there are people in them who love to die. ”
The old man sighed twice, took two puffs of dry tobacco, and in the slowly rising smoke, he continued to talk about what happened here a hundred years ago.
"There is an elder in the Hades Sect, his beloved son doesn't know why, he failed to inherit his father's qualifications, he was born with low understanding, and the progress of enlightenment is very slow.
The elder was in a hurry, thinking that his beloved son had realized the Dark Source Dao, so he started the idea of the resentful spirit core.
At that time, the Shadow Abyss was not as well developed as it is now, and the Resentful Spirit Core was not as mysterious as it is now, that is, it was just a treasure that had a buff for the Dark Source Enlighteners.
Therefore, the elder of the Yama King Sect sent more than ten disciples of the Nine Stars to take the resentful spirit core for him at the beginning.
As a result, these more than ten people never returned, and the whole army was wiped out. ”
The old man exhaled and exhaled the smoke again, and Fang Hao still waited expressionlessly.
"Master, you're really boring."
Seeing that Fang Hao didn't answer at all, the old man shook his head helplessly.
This loss completely angered the elder of the Hades Sect, and he swore that he would destroy the king of the carrion beasts and take away its resentful core.
He used his authority and connections to invite a full fifty disciples of the Wendao Realm from the sect who were familiar with each other inside and outside the sect, and promised rich rewards to let them break into the shadow abyss again.
Moreover, just in case, the elder also invited a few fellow disciples of the Dao Realm to stay outside the abyss, telling the disciples that if the king of the carrion beast was difficult, lead him out of the abyss of shadows, and they would solve it.
There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and these fifty disciples roared and rushed into the abyss of shadows to besiege the king of carrion beasts.
However......"
The old man stopped again.
Fang Hao's forehead was bruised.
This is worse than a broken dog!
"Boom!"
Another spirit stone was slapped on the table.
"Thank you!"
The old man smiled, quickly pulled the spirit stone into his arms, and the speed of his speech increased significantly:
"Fifty people entered, and in the end only three escaped, and they were all wounded and terrified.
And behind them were a group of mutated carrion beasts, and their strength was already on par with the Dao realm......"
"Wait!"
Fang Hao took the initiative to interrupt.
"Dao realm? Doesn't it mean that as long as the powerhouses above the Wendao realm do not enter, the abyss of shadows will not emerge from the ghost beasts above the Wendao? ”
"That being said, but what happened at the time, no one knows.
Some people say that it was the elder who quietly sent a Dao realm master to infiltrate and cause such a disaster.
And some people say that all this is caused by the king of carrion beasts. ”
The old man took a few puffs of his cigarette and said slowly.
"What do you say about the few people who escaped?"
"A hundred years is too long, it's hard to verify, and I heard that the three people were too frightened, and they were a little incoherent when they came out, but there were a few words that they kept on their lips."
"What is it?"
"Doors, outer ways, demons."
Fang Hao was silent, and after a while, he motioned for the old man to continue.
"This group of carrion beasts rushed out of the Shadow Abyss, and it is said that there are hundreds of them, which is what the Dao Realm of those Hades Sect can resist?
The troublesome elder saw that it was not good, resisted for a moment, and then drove away, which made the people around the Shadow Abyss miserable at that time.
And the most frightening thing is that these mutant carrion beasts have the ability to evolve. ”
Fang Hao was stunned when he heard this: "Evolution? ”
"Yes, out of the abyss of shadows, they are ferocious and abnormal, and they have a desire to eat humans, and many people who have no time to run are gnawed to the bone, and they become more terrifying and difficult by gnawing.
When the various sects sent the strong cultivators to encircle and suppress them, there were even carrion beasts among them that could compete with the strong people of the Dao Command. ”
"Why is this not recorded?"
This is completely different from the information that Fang Hao usually comes into contact with.
The old man snorted lightly and sneered three times:
"Not because of the resources here?
If you tell everyone that such a tragic thing happened a hundred years ago, who would dare to come here to experience?
Who else is going to discover all kinds of treasures and materials inside? ”
Fang Hao was silent.
This is very realistic.
"In short, those mutant carrion beasts that rushed out were finally eliminated, and the elder of the Hades Sect, who started it, was also dealt with.
Spread this matter, the Hades Sect was not able to dodge, the entire sect was disbanded, the sect master was nowhere to be found, and the strong people in the original sect set up their own hills, which is also the source of the many assassin organizations in the Xia Kingdom today. ”
After listening, Fang Hao silently digested this information in his heart.
"By the way, didn't the king of carrion beasts break out of the shadow abyss in the first place?"
