Chapter 412: Pillar of Melting Fire
If it had been the usual rule that they would have been whipped until their skin was opened, they were now able to bake the fire with the wood they had gathered, and the credit for all this was to the young man sitting in front of them, dressed in thin black clothes, and looking at them with a calm face.
"Master Jiang, are you really here from the distant Datong?" The boy named Ananda asked Hachi with admiration on his face, they had just had a simple communication, and the boy also knew what was happening during the day, and he was shocked and couldn't believe it like the girl.
But when he accepted all this, he almost regarded Hachi as a god-like existence, and Hachi's appearance saved him and Sister Zhuo, which was a kindness that could not be reciprocated, and he worshiped and respected the young man in front of him.
"I did come from Dacheng, but the process is more complicated" Of course, Xiao Hachi would not tell the real situation, he should have been at the end of the farther south, Bazhou and Northern Xinjiang are exactly one south and one north, far apart, otherwise he would not be wearing such a thin black clothes.
In the south, it's too much to dress like this, he was taken to the east by Xia Banyan like this, experienced those things in the Eastern Emperor Demon Kingdom, and was inexplicably teleported to the northern frontier, until now Xiaoba still doesn't understand who opened up the sudden appearance of the void channel, can break through the void so far away, let him directly teleport in the air, such an ability is probably only through the sky, the god of the owl, and that Zhao Yizhi, the terrifying existence of the Eastern Emperor Demon King can do it.
It doesn't matter who got him here, the key is to understand the situation here, wait for Xiao Bufan to wake up, and then continue to collect the next Divine Soul Fragment, which is the goal.
"Let's not talk about that, tell me about the situation here, I saw a pillar of fire outside before, you should know what it is."
Xiao Hachi's question made both Ananda and the girl's faces change, and it was obvious that the pillar of fire in Xiao Hachi's mouth was a terrifying existence for them.
"Sister Zhuo, come on" Ananda turned his head to the girl beside him with a bitter face and said, the girl's face was also ugly, and her eyes flashed a few times before she slowly spoke.
"Master Jiang, that is the Melting Fire Pillar, it is the divine object that our Jurchen Clan relies on for survival, for thousands of years, our Jurchen Clan has built villages and towns around the Melting Fire Pillar, with the help of its never-extinguishing flame to warm us, nourish us, and reproduce generation after generation of lives" Zhuo Mu's face became serious, these things were related to the past of their Jurchen Clan, and she was also very concerned.
"Since the Pillar of Melting Fire is a flame that will never be extinguished, why do you want to come out to collect firewood, how can these firewood supply such a huge amount of heat" Xiao Hachi asked out loud, the pillar of fire that runs through the sky, it is impossible to use firewood to burn to supply energy, there must be other reasons for these people to collect firewood, or there is something hidden in this pillar of melting fire.
Zhuo Mu lowered her head slightly, Xiao Ba's question reached the key core point, she eased down for a moment before slowly speaking, "The Melting Fire Pillar will never be extinguished, we are looking for firewood for two reasons, the first reason is that those powerful guys who live near the Melting Fire Pillar, they want to enslave and consume us sin slaves, so they keep increasing the number of firewood for us to collect."
"And the second reason is that it really makes our Jurchen clan such a bane," Zhuo Mu paused obviously when she said this, and she was a little hesitant to continue.
"Sister Zhuo, what are you worried about, Master Jiang, let me tell you, it's the flame of the Melting Fire Pillar that has weakened!!"
"Thousands of years ago, the flames of the Pillar of Melting Fire never became weaker, but in recent decades, the flames of the Pillar of Melting Fire have become weaker and weaker! Many people were forced out to look for firewood, and we all lived on the periphery of the Pillar of Melting Fire, and in order to concentrate the heat, we, the people in the periphery, and even the people in the middle, were condemned to slavery."
"We have to stay away from the Melting Pillar and move to this icy snow, we have a lot of people here!! But they ...... They're all dead......." Ananda's eyes moistened as he spoke, and bean-sized tears dripped down, and he hung his head and couldn't go any further.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should have been something wrong with your Jurchen clan that caused the flame of the Melting Fire Pillar to weaken" Xiao Ba said his thoughts in a deep voice, when he was in the Eastern Emperor Demon Kingdom, he only listened to Xia Banyan's words, that terrifying evil thing Aluo Bi Yan is an ancient god worshiped by the Jurchen clan, and worshipping such a thing will inevitably cause disaster to come.
Sure enough, Xiao Ba's words made the two figures tremble at the same time, Zhuo Mu raised his head a little bit, stared at Xiao Ba with clear eyes, and said word by word, "Because..... All because .... Something on the Tien Shan Mountains! ”
"It was our Jurchens who opened the taboo..."
"It was we who awakened the ancient gods..."Zhuo Mu's expression was terrified, as if she had seen something she shouldn't have seen, her face turned pale, and she didn't even dare to say what that thing was.
"What's that thing?" Hachi asked.
"Master Jiang! We.. We don't dare to say" Ananda suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Balian, he was very embarrassed, on the one hand, he was a noble man with great kindness, and on the other hand, there was a taboo that could not be talked about, he really didn't dare, he could only kneel and kowtow tremblingly.
"Don't embarrass yourself, you can't say it, forget it, get up quickly" Hachi's face changed slightly, and he quickly stopped the boy from continuing to kowtow, and at the same time calmed down.
"Our Jurchen tribe has enshrined incredible things, and the current high priest is the one who went to the Tianshan Mountains to unlock the taboo back then, and she has lived for a long, long time..."
"I can only say it once, Lord Jiang, you must forget it after you hear it!" Zhuo Mu's expression was nervous, as if she was about to say the most terrifying mystery in the world, and even the boy next to her unconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes with his little hand, as if he was a little afraid of what she was going to say.
"Say it, I'll forget," Hachi said affirmatively.
"None... Absurd... Sky... En" Zhuo Mu spit out word by word, as if these words were cutting her mouth and her tongue like a knife, so stiff and obscure.
What does this mean?! Hachi's head suddenly hurt like a needle prick, why did it happen! Hachi was shocked in his heart, just hearing these words, he gave himself a headache, what does this mean!
Zhuo Mu and Ananda clearly saw the change in Xiao Ba's face, and their faces turned pale in an instant, especially Zhuo Mu, she regretted saying it, regretting that she had touched the taboo, and something terrible would happen soon!
