Chapter 114: The Strange Moon

Tang Xiaohao dragged Dongshan Xiao up and asked, "You answer my question just now, do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

Higashiyama Xiao didn't think so: "I don't care what this place is, anyway, I know that I'm resurrected, I'm alive, it's great!" ”

Tang Xiaohao stared at Dongshan Xiao's face, but found something, and then grabbed his head and continued to slam into the column in front of him, this scene made the little bell look stupid, I don't know why Tang Xiaohao did this to Dongshan Xiaoxiao?

After Dongshan Xiao was hit several times, he turned his head to look at Tang Xiaohao and asked, "What are you doing!?" ”

Tang Xiaohao asked rhetorically: "Are you in pain?" ”

Dongshan Xiao shook his head: "It doesn't hurt." ”

Tang Xiaohao pointed to Dongshan Xiao's face again and said, "Not only are you not in pain, but you don't have any injuries on your face at all." As he spoke, Tang Xiaohao motioned for the little bell to step forward, and with his finger lightly swiped on the blade of the sword, his finger was directly cut out, and blood flowed out.

Tang Xiaohao held up his bleeding finger to show Dongshan Xiao, Dongshan Xiao quickly tried it with his own hand, and found that although he could feel the blade of the sword, the skin of his fingers could not be cut, even if he directly slapped the tip of the sword with his hand, the tip of the sword could not penetrate the palm, let alone feel the pain.

Dongshan Xiao raised his hand dumbfounded, and immediately looked around again, asking, "What's going on?" What the hell is this place? ”

Tang Xiaohao frowned and said, "We just didn't know, so we asked you to come out and ask, but you asked us what kind of place this is." ”

Higashiyama was confused, and the little bell had to tell it what had happened before.

After listening to this, Higashiyama Xiao said the previous words again: "This is not Jiuyuan. ”

Tang Xiaohao asked: "You just said, this is not Jiuyuan, where could it be?" What do you mean? ”

Dongshan Xiao shook his head: "I don't know how to describe it, in short, it's completely different, I'm sure this is not Jiuyuan." ”

The little bell asked on the side: "It's not the Nine Plains, is it the Nine Domains?" Are we all dead? ”

Little Bell's speculation frightened Tang Xiaohao, but he was immediately denied by Dongshan Xiao: "This should not be the Nine Domains, although I haven't been able to go to the Nine Domains, but I know that living people can't reach the Nine Domains, and besides, you will bleed if you are injured." ”

Just when the two of them were puzzled, Bao Meng, who was not far away, finally turned his head to look at Tang Xiaohao: "Brother Hao, when I was a child, my nurse told me a story about the strange moon, and the strange moon in the story is the same as this thing in the sky. ”

Tang Xiaohao and Little Bell immediately walked towards Bao Meng, Dong Shan Xiao stood there, first looking at Bao Meng, and then looking up at the thing in the sky that Bao Meng called the Strange Moon.

Tang Xiaohao came to Baomeng and asked, "What's the story?" ”

Bao Meng recalled: "When I saw that thing in the sky, although I had never seen it, I always felt that I had heard it somewhere, and I thought about it for a long time before I remembered that it was a story told to me by a nurse when I was a child, and the story was about the experience of a group of exiles. ”

In Johara, a Vault Dweller is a person who has sinned, but who does not sin unto death. Because of the special environment of Rouyuan, basically no one who commits a crime will be imprisoned, because wood and stone are scarce, and there is no such condition to build a prison. Therefore the one who wears the sin is either a slave or a banisher.

The Vault Dweller may sound like herdsmen, but unlike ordinary herders, they need to work in groups of five to find a place suitable for grazing in the vast land of the Rouyuan.

At first glance, it may seem like an easy thing for the Vault Dweller to do, but in fact it is full of dangers, although the Rouyuan is almost an endless grassland, but there are also many strange things happening on the grassland, and many people and cattle and sheep disappear every year, as if the world has evaporated.

The story told by Bao Meng's nurse is what happened after the more than a dozen tribes in Rouyuan were just unified into the Torsi Division.

At that time, there were dozens of tribes large and small in the Rouyuan, often fighting each other for water and grassland, and later a heroine named Sarena decided to end this chaotic situation, and began to lead her own people to gradually conquer other tribes in various ways, during which she also met her husband Sugol, and later the Tors Department was also founded by the couple.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Torth Ministry, there were naturally many conservative people who were not convinced, because too many people had been sacrificed during the conquest of the tribes, so Salena made the decision not to kill her for five years, and those who opposed her became the first to be exiled.

The reason for the Rou is so great that the people who lived there in the past have not been able to set foot in the whole of the Rouyuan, especially in the direction of the north of the Rouyuan, where no one has ever been there at all.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Torth Division, Sarena decided to send people to set foot in these areas to find out exactly how big the Johor was and what existed further north.

Sarena ordered the first group of Vault Dwellers to go north, and after a month they had to report back if they found anything. However, she waited in Johora for three months without seeing the first Vault Dweller return.

In desperation, Sarina had no choice but to send a second group of Vault Dwellers, and after two months, this group of Vault Dwellers finally returned.

The soldiers of Johora Castle were the returning Vault Dweller who had just found him at dawn, and the Vault Dweller was wrapped in a large coat and rode on a horse, his eyes only left with a strange snow white, and even the eyes of the horse he was riding were gone, which was very strange.

The defenders approached the Vault Dweller and saw it clearly, and no matter how they shouted or flapped, the Vault Dweller did not respond, and he and the horse he was riding were reduced to living sculptures.

Not knowing what was happening, the soldiers had to hurry to report to the clan king, Sarena.

Although Sarena went to see the Vault Dweller herself, the situation was so strange that she asked the shaman priest of the tribe to check it out first.

After examining the Vault Dweller, the shaman told Salena a strange fact - the Vault Dweller had been dead for a long time, but it was not known what the cause of death was.

Tang Xiaohao and Little Bell were surprised when they heard Baomeng talk about this, and Dongshan Xiao, who was not far away, interjected and asked, "Can you come back after being dead for a long time?" Zombies? ”

The little bell said: "It should be the old horse who knows the way, and the horse carried the corpse back." ”

Bao Meng shook his head and said, "No, the horse has been dead for a long time. ”

Yes, the horse and the Vault Dweller had been dead for a long time, and Sarena naturally didn't believe it, so she personally supervised the shaman to examine the corpse, and when she removed the Vault Dweller's clothes, she found that the skin inside was full of black marks with vertical strips, and all the organs in her body had melted into rotten flesh.

The shaman then examined the horse, and although the horse's skin did not have the black mark, all the organs in its body had melted.

Sarena, who witnessed all this, turned around and left without saying a word.

The shaman immediately ordered the body of the man and the horse to be burned on the spot, and buried the burned body deeply, and personally set up an inner circle in the place where it was buried, because in the shaman's knowledge, the Vault Dweller and the horse were killed by some evil force.

Far from making Sarena give up, this incident strengthened her determination to find out what really existed in the northern part of Johor, and even decided to go on a personal expedition.

Sarena's decision was opposed by her husband Sugol, who believed that only Sarena could be in charge of the overall situation, and if she left Johorwon Castle now, the whole of Jowon would definitely fall into war again, so he decided to go to investigate instead of his wife Sarena.

So, Sugol personally selected his men and led an expedition of several shamans to the northern part of the Jojo Plain.

When Bao Meng said this, he looked at Tang Xiaohao and said, "Actually, the whole story has only begun here. ”

Tang Xiaohao became interested in the story: "And then? What happened? ”

Bao Meng said: "Although Sugol did not return to Rouyuan City, one of the shamans in the expedition came back, and he came back alive, according to his account, after walking towards the north for a month, the expedition found a desert ......."

When they discovered the desert, Sugol and the others thought that they were going in the wrong direction, but when they looked up at the sun to confirm their position, they found that they had not gone wrong, and the direction they had been moving in had always been north.

Because they did not dare to set foot in the desert easily, the expedition team stationed at the edge of the desert, and what happened next was similar to what Tang Xiaohao and others experienced.

When the expedition members lit the torches and finally dispelled the strange fog, they found the blood-red thing in the sky that resembled both the sun and the moon.

The people of the expedition team didn't know what was going on, and they thought that the Nine Heavens God was obviously spiritual, so they knelt down and worshipped.

However, they knelt for a long time, and did not notice the so-called miracle or apparition, so they looked up to see what was going on, but they saw countless men and women on horseback in the desert in the distance.

Sugol quickly recognized the people who had appeared in the desert in the distance as the first two groups of Vault Dwellers, but he didn't understand why this group had suddenly appeared in the desert. And he rode and stood watching them from a distance.

No matter how the expedition team shouted, the people in the desert did not respond.

Nor was he a reckless man, he refused his men's request to come forward, and instead took his bow and sent an iron arrow at a certain Vault Dweller in the distance, who knew that the iron arrow disappeared after hitting the Vault Dweller, as if the Vault Dweller's body had directly swallowed the iron arrow.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Sugol froze in place, and when he came to his senses, he ordered everyone to mount their bows and shoot arrows at the Vault Dweller in the distance.

When the overwhelming arrows rained down on the Vault Dweller and their horses in the distance, they all vanished without a trace, as if they were only seeing a mirage in the desert.
