Chapter 8 Tianheng

The snake is called the heavenly in the language of the painted people. The name of the sky proves that it was once an unattainable existence for all ordinary creatures in this place.

At that time, the serpent perched on a stone pillar.

There is no "human line" here, just two talking non-human creatures who have been at the top. Originally, there were a few non-human creatures with the same status as snakes, but they had already traveled to other villages and caves, and were preparing for further counterattacks. Moreover, speaking of which, these matters are actually inexperienced for this group of Venerable Beings.

When the serpent was born, it was educated to fight, but it was to fight with a well-trained army of the Hanging Garden, and it was to govern, but it was to govern the cities of a highly developed dynasty. At that time, in its education, it was also kindly told that the rule of the alien dragon was considered to be eternal and could last for 10,000 years, and there would be no possibility of war, and no one could defeat them. Shortly after the end of his Snake Boyhood, he was still under the highest stone pillar in the kingdom, excitedly inheriting the honor of his ancestors and declaring himself to be the staunchest guardian of the dynasty. He thought it would be forever. Then, in its prime, the Dragons blew a sudden gale, which destroyed the stone pillars of the past and caused them to flee in panic.

The cause and effect of this strong wind are still not clear to the snake. Judging from the results, the central army of the current peasant soldiers, known as the Black Armor Army, mutinied, and the alien dragons who sheltered the human lineage and were once cited as gods were driven out of the hanging garden one by one, either fleeing or being killed in the wilderness. The human lineage claims that their time, their honor, is over.

In order to salvage the situation, the snake carried a small group of soldiers who were still following the dragon, pulled the last coat of arms, and went to the frontier of the dynasty, gaining the support of the local restless peasants, trying to maintain the original appearance of the dynasty.

But the recent changes in the situation have made even snakes tired. The news of the defeat of its kindred, which had also come to various places to start rebellions, came one after another, making it vaguely aware of the possibility of cruelty.

That might be called a failure.

"Elder, these rough peasants, no matter how much they train, they can't be the opponent of the army that the city has spent a lot of money on training. The gap between organization and competence is too great. It is not a sustainable idea for us to rely solely on the movement of the terrain of Qiongqiu to fight a defensive war, and our sealing materials are not enough. ”

The serpent said:

"In the confrontation of armies, we must ask for help from the savage nations."

In Qiongqiu, the huge community is not only the central Heterosaurus Dynasty. On the real ground, or in a few large canyons a little farther away, and in the uplifted mountains, there are quite a few countries that are economically and emotionally backward in terms of water level. These kingdoms were called savages in the education of the serpent.

Although it is a savage, it also has one or two or three points that are commendable in military affairs.

"Do you want to emulate the practice of Tianxia Gong who landed in Mushi? Tian Tinghou? "Only in the depths, there was a pair of large, tired eyes, staring at the snake.

The serpent's position here is not the highest.

It wasn't the snake's idea to come to this edge near the Netherworld and regain its footing.

In later accounts, the leader of the Buzi rebel army, known as Buzi, was an elder from the Yilong Dynasty. The elder was now wounded, and his voice was slight. He hides in the depths of the land and spends much more time sleeping than waking up.

The snake bowed its head:

"We need the army of the Savage Nation to land, and to confront the ranks of the rebel army."

They called the army that was now entrenched in the Hanging Gardens the rebels. Similarly, the army entrenched in the Hanging Nursery also called the riots in the Buzi area rebels.

There were almost no glowing stones, and in the deep caverns, there were only faint outlines, outlines outlining the dejected bodies of the nobles of the kingdoms of the new world.

It says:

"Are you complaining about me, forbidding you to go out to support the Mushina area?"

The snake does not speak.

Judging from the information that the snake has, assuming that they supported the Mushi area in time, Mushi's rebellion may not fail.

"But I've also told you, we can't let aliens land on our lands. The establishment of our dynasty lies in the protection of our people's family from Qiongqiu at the beginning of ancient times, so that this human line can get rid of the original difficult migration life, stabilize it, and create culture for us. Elder Long said calmly, "And Tianxia Gong's introduction of foreign armies was very wrong, and it was his fault that he destroyed this foundation!" He brought the invaders we were going to drive back to this quiet land that belonged to us! ”

Speaking of this, the elder was furious.

It calmed its mind, spread its wings, and returned to itself. It says:

"If you insist on going, you can go alone, and I will make the decision and delete your title. But if you approve of the existence of the dynasty and the continuation of our system of elders, then don't go. ”

The snake did not speak.

In its opinion, things have come to this point, the dynasty itself is about to exist in name only, and the capable savior has thought of many ways to salvage the situation, but the elder's mind has never been bright, and he is still nostalgic for the words that are like legends many years ago, invisibly hindering their actions.

But it is not easy to contradict the elder.

Without him, it is only about power, status, and ...... Strength.

Among the dragons, the dragons called elders are not rated based on seniority alone.

The supreme elder dragon in the dynasty faced the silence and wanted to admonish the deviant young man, but the snake saw the meaning of the elder's superiority and irrefuted, and said one step ahead:

"Something is going on outside, Elder, I'm going to go out and deal with it first. Come back later. ”

This Elder Dragon had rarely seen such a silent rebuttal in the heyday of the dynasty, and nothing could have been more important than its words. The serpent found a reason for thinking he had something to deal with, but in the eyes of the elders, it was not a reason at all.

"Don't cut off the heart-to-heart connection, I want to hear about the outside world too."

The elder commanded.

The snake said yes, then detached himself from the stone pillar, landed on his toes, and walked out.

When he opened the stone door, he saw Jing Ri arguing with a local whom he had only seen once or twice.

"Jingri, what happened?"

The snake asked.

Jing Ri was a talented adult who adhered to the ancient teachings of the Buzi region and always supported the elder system of the dynasty. The snake still remembers the scene when Jing Ri led a group of peasant soldiers across several islands to meet their team.

However, he is respectful, but he doesn't know etiquette like other villagers.

With a savage reverence, he spoke aloud about the cause and effect.

The snake looked up at the angry jailer.

"What, aren't you satisfied with my idea? Want to rebel? ”

It did not see the slightest change in the jailer, but only the encouragement in the heart of the man. If the man is really not satisfied with it, it will not hesitate to kill it.

The jailer immediately sweated on his forehead and fell to his knees on the spot:

"I'm not dissatisfied, my lord! It's just this group of prisoners, they are also wasting our resources and time in vain, we want to go into battle to kill the enemy, not to be with this group of aliens. ”

It was difficult for the snake to explain it all to them.

"Don't be suspicious, warrior! This is the will of the elders, and they have their own vision. They are related to our friendship with other kingdoms and the manners of our dynasty. ”

The jailer was also stupid, and by the time the snake was halfway through, he had already made a promise. There was no doubt in his heart, because he had never received any education, and he was living according to this knowledge. He doesn't associate it with his own reality.

However, the jailer was able to ask such a logical suggestion, which surprised the snake:

"You're a little clever, a little flexible."

The Serpent's initial captivity was nothing more than an ordinary captivity, saving it from any spies among them, and it also saved it from offending some savage country that might be near or far away. But then, its mind changed. It wanted to follow the example of Tianxia Gong and try to ask one or two approaching savage countries and lead these savage countries into Qiongqiu to fight. But when it consulted with the elders, the elders vetoed its proposal.

At that time, the snake was already trying to kill the prisoners.

But the elder said that it should not be killed lightly, and as a dynasty, it should have the courtesy of a dynasty for these explorers and wanderers. These prisoners have been dragged all the way to this day.

The serpent tried again to convince the elders, but failed.

Its evaluation of the jailer made those who had originally discouraged the jailer begin to praise the jailer's mental acumen. The serpent said:

"Let him lead the engraved, enter your team, and pay homage to the sun."

Jing Sun nodded, and the snake prepared to turn around, continuing to discuss countermeasures with the elders.

But in the depths of its heart, the elder said flatly:

"Let the jailer in."

The serpent's pace slowed and his eyes turned in surprise, and he did so.

The elder, who dwelled in the depths, witnessed the jailer for a long time and said:

"What did you come into contact with before you came? Have you touched something, or have you been touched by something? What are the main living creatures...... or a fragment of a living creature. ”

The jailer did not know the elder's intentions, but replied honestly that his caregivers and educators had dressed him, taught him how to eat a new food, and talked about how he and his companions had worked hard at the edge of the cell, and had never played any games, and he had talked about his conversation with his friends about his trust in the dynasty, and about the doubts and confusion of the new policy in the Hanging Garden, and when he had finished talking, he began to talk about his conscientiousness yesterday.

His gushing, bits and pieces, made the snake can't help but wonder if this jailer is really the person who has just been logical? Then, the serpent suddenly realized the implicit advice of the elders:

"Elder, I told you...... I found a guest among the aliens who could speak my people's psychic language. He's in a cell right now. ”

So, the elder's gaze slowly lowered to the jailer's body, and he said:

"Did you come into contact with a prisoner today? It is to touch a part of a prisoner's body with his hand. ”

"Prisoner?"

The jailer thought for a moment, and then said conclusively:

"No, Elder, Lord Tianting said that we can't do any physical contact, so we never dare to make contact, for fear that these people will use some poison or means."

"Ask the other jailers."

The elder dragon commanded the serpent.

"If you can't ask, just take those people out of prison and pull them in front of me one by one."

In a short time, the jailer was happily back in front of the cell. He's ready to pack his things and join the glorious battle team. He also told the other jailers that he had seen the elders, who were inhabited by the elders who shone like gods, and whose bodies were as beautiful as gold.

The rest of the jailers were envious.

And in prison, Zai Yan said to Gu Chuan:

"You seem to have failed, the jailer didn't bring anything back, and probably no one realized your strategic value."

"It's out of the way, I'm still looking for their routines and reading the structure of this building. As long as I figured it out, I could hypnotize them all over again and forcibly escape from prison. ”

Gu Chuan is now not afraid to use any card in his hand.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and then the door to the stone fence opened.

The prisoners were all concentrated on the open door.

A head that Gu Chuan had seen before poked in.

He looked around, found Gu Chuan, and said to him:

"You, come with us."

"What's the matter?"

This time it was not a heart-to-heart exchange, but the language of this alien.

But Jingri didn't reveal anything. Outside stood full of soldiers.

The young man stood up calmly, and under the guidance of Jingri, and the confused and indifferent eyes of Xunshui, he walked out of the door, and then handed over his fate to the will of others.

He was taken to the middle of this land and air area. The rocks lined him around, and in front of him was a narrow path.

At this time, Jing Ri said to him:

"Elder, as well as Lord Tianting, are waiting for you in the door. You don't want to make any small movements. ”

Elder, this is the second time he's heard it.

The first time was in the serpent's words.

The young man thought for a moment, and then walked into the door as if pushed by the soldiers behind him.

The stone door closed, and the light of the sparse few luminous stones blurred.

The long-legged serpent he had seen before wrapped around the stone pillar, looking at him with the same thoughtful gaze.

"Did you call me?"

His hand shrunk into his shirt tightened his grip on the dragon's heart horn under his shoulder.

"Not me, outsider." The serpent said, "The one who called you is still in the inner room, go forward, and let the elders take a good look at you." ”

Gu Chuan took a step forward.

He saw a rough outline. The silhouette belonged to a large winged snake. He stood there still not being able to see clearly, so he took another step forward.

The coiled, deep into the rocks is even more obvious. A pair of eyes in the dark, about the same size as his man, with a quiet glow, pierced through time.

It is looking at the young man gently.

"Keep going."

The young man took another step forward.

Finally, the large, ancient gesture appeared unreservedly in his eyes. The gentle exhalation caused fluctuations in the wind, blowing through the young man's body.

The shimmering silver scales and a pair of small, unforked horns, or the huge wings, the eyes, the texture of the body, and the two small claws did not catch his eye. His first glance was drawn to the tail of the dragon, known as the Elder.

Or not the tail, but the middle section of the body of this allosaurus.

Completely severed, the flesh, intestines, and strangely shaped organs that he couldn't understand flowed all over the ground, but they were all alive, still breathing, still transporting blood, and swallowing air. And its severed half-cut body was embedded in the depths of the rock.

A monster that may live on its own with each cell.

Different from humans...... Exotic beasts.

At that time, Gu Chuan first thought about how this giant dragon got into the cave of this small land. The stone door is too small,

He learned from the visitors in the film and television, and pretended to be humble and said:

"Your summoning is my supreme honor, the elder of the noble dynasty."

The elder dragon, who was as huge as a hill, didn't say a word, Gu Chuan restrained his thinking, let himself not think about some important things, and said:

"I'm from a distant human realm, and we look like people here. We just borrowed, and had no ill will, and wanted to go further south. Please also ask the elders to let them go. ”

The young man who spoke thought that he was Tang Seng in Journey to the West, asking for customs clearance documents.

Who knows, the elder dragon said for a long time:

"What if I tell you that you are not human?"

Communication at the level of thinking leads to a series of fleeting situational illusions. Gu Chuan was stunned, and he immediately thought of the origin of the piece of immortal flesh in his body.

That piece of immortal flesh comes from bones underground. And that bone...... I'm afraid it has something to do with the dragon hovering in Daling.

But as soon as he recalled the posture of the Daoqi Dragon, he immediately held his thoughts, not daring to think too much, for fear that the Elder Dragon's mind-reading ability in front of him would exceed that of the Dragon's Heart Horn.

He began to recall his mother in this life, and said nonsense:

"I jumped out of the belly of a man, my mother and my father, met in a kingdom war, how could I not be ......"

"Child, you should have longer memories than the life you live now! Right? ”

The Elder Dragon interrupted him:

"My name is Tianheng, and I am the elder of this dynasty, and I have spent more than fifty generations of my family from birth to death. There are no secrets in front of me. You, your soul, are in no way limited to you, and the strength to sustain your body is by no means the strength of a fragile person. You've suffered, but the sores that killed you a thousand times didn't kill you, did you? ”

Gu Chuan was silent, he felt that he had thought of an important clue at that time. But he didn't dare to think about it, he only dared to keep thinking about the ordinary life of his own people in this life.

The Elder Dragon continued to examine what it saw, and said calmly:

"Someone has put you under a human skin, and your soul, and your flesh, have been ...... together You shouldn't be like this, kid. ”

After coming out of Elder Dragon's room, Gu Chuan dared to think about what the clue he had in mind at that time.

He was thinking about the so-called Heavenly Punishment, which would allow the dragon to mistake a punished Sunset City person for the same race...... What is it, or is it what the old man in the dungeon said?
