Mu Sogen summons sand and buries the corpses on the ground. Zuo Chang stood aside and watched him work, thinking about his thoughts.

In the night, the Heavenly King City looked cold, and the wind blowing was mixed with the sound of iron boots stomping on the ground, which was even more solemn.

Zuo Chang raised his hand and looked at his palm.

A cocoon had already grown in his palm, and True Bow said that it was a sword cocoon, and most adventurers had it. If you want a pair of soft hands, she has a special potion on her side, supplemented by a unique magic that will make the skin smooth and firm, and extremely delicate.

Of course, Zuo Chang did not have this need.

He stroked the cocoon of the sword with his thumb and fingers, thinking of the instructions of the "Compass of Desire".

In the Dungeon of Enigma, the Compass of Desire does not point to the answer.

The pointer rotates rapidly, and there is no target.

Think about it......

Zuo Chang, as a traverser who has been here for less than two months, can only be said to have barely adapted to the rhythm.

I thought it would be a difficult and lonely journey, but I didn't expect that "well" people appeared one after another, and before he knew it, he established more complex interpersonal relationships than when he was on Earth.

I have to say that this is also a kind of luck.

Zuo Chang is willing to work hard for the people around him, and helping friends is a thing that will get happiness in itself, especially when the person he helps also treats him like this.

Mutual Fulfillment –

What could be more wonderful than that?

But......

Who are the gods?

What kind of cattle and horses are they on the promised day?

Zuo Chang didn't have much interest in "saving the world" or "protecting the world", and such a grand goal was too empty in his opinion.

Far less specific than a full meal and a simple greeting.

"General Zuo?"

Behind him, Mu Sogen's voice sounded.

Zuo Chang turned his head to look and saw Mu Suogen looking at him with a puzzled expression: "What do you think?" So fascinating. I've called you several times but there's no response. ”

Is it?

Zuo Chang turned his head to look at the thick layer of yellow sand on the ground and asked, "Done?" ”

"Simply bury it, if you think it's inappropriate, I'll add another layer?"

Zuo Chang shook his hand: "Let's go." ”

The two walked side by side, stepping on the night, towards the rental house.

On the way, Zuo Chang asked for no reason: "Senior Mu, who is the god of heaven?" ”

Mu Suogen was stunned, not understanding what Zuo Chang was asking: "Heavenly God...... Is it a god? ”

"I mean, what's her origin? It's—"

Zuo Chang didn't know how to express it.

His hands shook in front of his chest, looking like he was rubbing the spiral pill: "That is, what is she and what is her origin?" ”

Ahh

Don't even know the origin of the gods? Is this still someone who has ascended to the world!

"The gods are not things, and no one knows where she came from. The legend about her began with a 'jar' - the pot of gold. ”

Mu Sogen sorted out the language.

He saw that the confusion on Zuo Chang's face didn't seem to be fake, so he decided to start from the beginning.

"Say—About a thousand years ago, a group of adventurers stumbled upon a ruin, which was infinitely wonderful, and full of treasures! The adventurers took out the holy artifact 'fairy pot' and presented it to the king at that time, and the king rewarded them with a big reward, allowing those adventurers to lead the kingdom army to re-enter the ruins to collect treasures. ”

"Brief paragraph! The kingdom army traveled unhindered, but in the deepest part of the ruins, they encountered an abyssal demon dragon guarding a golden pot! The leading general looked at it fixedly, and saw that the jar was full of gold and gemstones, and there were gods and spirits. ”

"They fought hard to defeat the Abyss Demon Dragon, obtained the golden pot, and returned to the court, ready to present the treasure to the king. As soon as I walked out of the valley, I was confronted by a mountain man with a sharp axe. The mountain people are fierce and vicious, and they claim to be the 'gods of the mountains and the earth'! ”

Hearing this, Zuo Chang tilted his head and asked, "Is this a myth?" Or history? ”

"I don't know. You want to say it's a myth, but the gods really exist after all; If you want to say history, it's too bizarre indeed......"

Mu Sogen shook his head slowly.

He looked at Zuo Chang and said, "Look at it, where is there still a 'god' now?" The only one that exists is a god, and the god is not the same as the legendary god. Her sense of existence is too strong, unlike the mythical gods, who seem to be absent and inexplicable, and unlike other gods, who have their own religions and believers. ”

In fact, there are believers in the gods.

But she really didn't have a religion of her own.

In a sense......

She is more of a "king" than a "god".

Zuo Chang asked again, "What happened later?" ”

"The mountain god stopped the kingdom army and claimed that the pot of gold in the hands of the kingdom army was the 'pot of calamity'. He said, "People, you have touched taboos that should not be touched, and there are endless disasters in them, which, once opened, will bring great suffering to the world. Give me the jar, and I will give you supreme power. ”

The general of the kingdom army was extremely disdainful, and immediately said: A woodcutter dares to say such a big thing! Come on, behead! ”

"So, the kingdom army beheaded the mountain god and continued to set foot on the way home."

Mu Sogen's old voice, steady tone, is very suitable for telling this kind of old-fashioned story.

Zuo Chang asked, "Is the mountain god dead?" ”

"Dead. The kingdom's army continued to walk until they reached a river. At that time, it was not the flood season, the wind and waves on this river were calm, and there was not even a ripple, but not long after the big ship of the royal army set off, suddenly the sky was dark, lightning and thunder roared, and the majestic rain poured down, and a huge whirlpool appeared in the center of the river! The big boat crossing the river soon lost control, and when it was about to hit the reef, the leading general shouted: This must be the 'god of the river, sea and river' who is doing trouble! Warriors, follow me into the water! ”

"Three hundred warriors abandoned the ship and entered the water, and sure enough, a giant turtle was found in the river, and the general assassinated it with his sword, and the storm suddenly subsided, the ship stabilized again, and the royal army crossed the river safely."

Zuo Chang has completely listened to these as myths.

"After that, the royal army encountered the 'God of Sky and Storm' and the 'God of Fire and Bronze', and the gods all declared that there was a great calamity in the Golden Jar and demanded that the Royal Army immediately abandon the Golden Jar, and the Royal Army went all the way to kill all the way, and finally returned to the royal capital and presented the Golden Jar to the king."

The king set up a great feast to celebrate the return of the kingdom's army. At the climax of the banquet, when the king and his generals were enjoying themselves, a white-bearded old man descended from the sky. He looked at the king and said, "Man, I can't bear to see you go to destruction in ignorance, so I have to come out and remind you that the pot of gold must not be opened, and that it contains a calamity that you cannot imagine or bear. ”

"The king asked, "Who art you?"

"The old man replied, "I am the all-knowing god of wisdom."

When the king heard this, he laughed, and the soldiers laughed with him, and the king said, "Since you are the all-knowing god, I ask you—what is my kingdom and what is it?" How much do I have to live? ”

"The old man gazed at the king and said, "Your kingdom shall perish today; Your life will end today. ”

When the king heard this, he swept the dishes in front of him to the ground and ordered his soldiers to slash the god of wisdom to death. The god of wisdom fell in a pool of blood, and the king's anger was still unsubsidy, and he looked at the pot of gold placed on one side, and as if he had been struck by evil, he hurried over and opened the lid at once! ”

Zuo Chang finally became a little interested.

He turned his head and asked, "And then?" ”

"And then—"

Mu Sogen smiled, "Then, the god appeared from the jar. ”

Let's get a more chapter first! I wanted to break it out of context in "then-" here, but it feels so immoral, forget it.
