Chapter 477: The Tree of the Ghost Fang
Song Xing looked at Professor Sun with a smile on his face: "It seems that Professor Sun really knows some things that ordinary people don't know?" ”
Professor Sun looked at Song Xing with a somewhat solemn face: "Those ancient rumors, now it seems that there is almost no truth to them, why would Your Excellency want to know those rumors?" ”
Song Xing said lightly: "It's just a curiosity." ”
Seeing that Professor Sun was still hesitant, Song Xing said directly: "Tell me what you know, I will help you find the Earth Immortal Tomb and fulfill your wish to seal the family for generations." ”
Song Xing's words hit Professor Sun's weakness, and Professor Sun hesitated, but finally said what he knew.
"The ancient god in your mouth, if it is the same existence as the snake god in the legend of the demon country, it should be an extremely powerful and terrifying monster that was lost in ancient times for various reasons but did not completely disappear."
"Monsters?" When Song Xing heard Professor Sun's definition of these ancient gods, he didn't say anything, but motioned for him to continue.
Professor Sun got up and took out a notebook and said, "When I was young, like you, I visited many dangerous places, the Golden Spider City in the Savage Mountain, the abyss under the Loulan Desert, the Yinyu Sea in Shennongjia, and the Yin Mountain where the legendary ghost locks are almost every time. But the horrors of these places may not add up to as good as those monsters themselves. ”
Song Xing frowned and said, "What do you mean by those monsters?" ”
Professor Sun flipped through his notes and said, "Because the appearance of Dixian Village was created by Feng Shigu in order to become an immortal, when I was young, I was always troubled by whether there were immortals and gods in this world. ”
"The earth fairy was sealed in the earth fairy village, and I couldn't find it, so I tried to find the existence of the god, because in the ancient legends, there are all kinds of gods, but I finally found out that these legends are all fake, until I found the information of the demon kingdom and knew the existence of the snake god."
A trace of doubt flashed in Hu Ba's eyes: "Isn't the snake god a natural phenomenon, or a belief-like existence?" ”
Professor Sun looked at him and asked rhetorically, "If the snake god is virtual, then how did the curse on your body come about?" ”
Hu Bayi was silent, and the fat man next to him asked suspiciously: "During the Demon Kingdom period, has anyone seen the true body of the snake god?" It's not just a giant python, thought to be a snake. ”
Professor Sun shook his head: "No one has ever seen the true body of the snake god, according to the literature, the snake god may have died when he came to the earth, even before there were humans, and what was left in the bottomless ghost cave was its snake bones. ”
Wang Fatzi was a little incomprehensible: "Worshipping a snake bone, it's quite incredible to think about it." ”
He had seen all kinds of incredible deeds in the Demon Kingdom, but it was still hard to believe that it was a dead snake god who could do it.
Song Xing looked at him and said meaningfully: "The body is dead, but it doesn't mean that the soul is also dead." ”
Professor Sun nodded: "That's right, the ancestors of the Demon Kingdom back then may have felt the call of some kind of power to take out the bones of the snake god and the eye of the snake god from the ghost cave, maybe this is also part of the snake god's plan for rebirth." ”
Song Xing looked at Professor Sun and asked, "The professor also believes in the immortality of the soul?" ”
Professor Sun's eyes flashed with confusion: "From the perspective of science, I don't believe it, but since ancient times, there are countless people who have obtained the dust beads, and there are many outstanding people, but most of them believe that there is a secret of immortality hidden in it, and it is difficult not to suspect that there is some kind of subversive power hidden in it." ”
When he was young, he had seen too many large tombs, and he knew that there were many strange and magical things in this world that even science could not explain.
Song Xing looked at Professor Sun's face and asked bluntly, "Have you seen these immortal ancient gods?" ”
Otherwise, it is really difficult to explain that a professor who has received a science education from an early age will have doubts about his own beliefs.
Professor Sun recalled, "I once dug an ancient tomb and found the ghost fang civilization thousands of years ago. ”
"Ghost Fang?" Song Xing remembered the record of this civilization, "The Ghost Fang Kingdom in the northwest during the Shang and Zhou dynasties? ”
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was a large-scale war against the ghost side in the Monan region, and the oracle bone cloth was written as "ghost Fang Yi", that is, the ghost fled or moved away from afar.
Professor Sun nodded and said, "Exactly, in that ancient tomb, I saw a record that said that thousands of years ago, a mountain ghost died in the Xiandun Cave in Western Henan. This mountain ghost had a bad fetus before he died, but it was not unusual, but it happened that there was a strange tree that broke through the void and happened to be in the stillbirth, and the stillborn and the strange tree grew into one, and it was immortal for a long time. ”
"A tree growing out of nothingness?"
"Yes, isn't it like a myth? But that's how the murals of the ghost side are introduced. ”
Professor Sun pointed to the first page of the notebook, an ancient tree that looked strange, which could be seen to be scribbled with a pencil, which was more abstract.
According to the mural, the corpse of the mountain ghost has since acquired the ability of a strange tree, which can transform and disappear objects that come close. After discovering the mysterious ability of the ancient corpse, the Onifang people worshipped it as a god and made many bronze masks for sacrifice. ”
Song Xing asked again: "In addition to being able to make people disappear, what other abilities does this tree have?" ”
Professor Sun shook his head, "I don't know, the records of that ghost cemetery are incomplete, but with those clues, I later found some ghost tombs." After the destruction of the Ghost Fang, the ancestors of the Nu Sect learned about the cave from the bronze mask pattern of the Ancient Kingdom of the Ghost Fang, so they found it and made it a holy place. The Cult can summon strange trees through rituals to defeat the unsubdued plague gods and demons into a land of no return. ”
Song Xing nodded: "In the eyes of the ancients, the ability to exile people into nothingness and disappear is indeed called a god, where is that tree?" ”
"Disappear into the void on your own." Professor Sun flipped the note to the next page, where there was a painting in addition to some strange words.
The painting depicts a huge ancient tree destroying a village with countless branches.
"I once found the ruins of the Nu religion, and found this picture inside, perhaps the picture left by the latecomers of the Wu religion, saying that the ancient tree destroyed the entire Wu religion because of a sacrificial mistake, and then disappeared into the void again."
Hearing this, Song Xing's expression was a little touched: "It looks like a tree, but it can break through the space at will, and the extent to which it shatters the void is already a terrifying monster in this world." ”
Wang Fatzi stared at Professor Sun with a suspicious look: "I said, Professor, should you know that Song Ye is looking for you, so you deliberately made up so many nonsense to deceive us, right?" Fat man, I have been traveling south and north for so many years, why have I never seen such an evil thing, and I still hide in the void and brag about what a big bull. ”
Professor Sun looked at Wang Fatzi, "I know you don't believe it, I didn't believe it when I saw this, so I later flipped through the ancient books and tried to find some corroboration." ”
Seeing this, Song Xing asked, "Did you find it?" ”
Professor Sun turned to the next page of his notebook, which recorded a strange story that was handed down during the Tang Dynasty.
