Chapter 61: The Past
"What's the matter?" Xiao Lin looked at the human face on the torso of the Devil Tree, to be honest, he just wanted to get out of here quickly.
"Some memories of the past. The Devil Tree's excitement slowly calmed down, and he said in a soft voice, "There are some things I can't say, this is the will of the strong, and I am not allowed to be talked about casually by others." ”
"Don't let you say it?" Xiao Lin asked in surprise.
"Yes, such strong people are rare, but they do exist. The Devil Tree said in a very solemn tone, "The strongest can sense what others are saying about him, so that they can find out where you are, especially the six Awakened ones. ”
"What are the Awakened? there are six?" Xiao Lin sat down, and if he wanted to nag carefully, then sit down, how tired it is to stand.
"The Awakened is the owner of the door. The Devil's Tree explained.
"Can you explain what the hell the door is?" Xiao Lin always wanted to know what this door that was by his side and didn't leave.
"I can't say clearly, I only know that they live forever and live with heaven and earth. The Devil's Tree became quite respectful when talking about the door, "It seems that they mediate the balance of this world, and there will always be one or two strong people in history who have obtained the power of the door, and once they appear, they can often rule an era, and no one can be defeated." ”
"So there are six gates?"
"At present, it is known that there are six realms, and there may be gates that have never been manifested. The Devil's Tree continued, "Later generations call the owner of the gate the Awakened One, because once a person is born, the Gate will make a choice, and once the person is chosen, at some point in the future it will awaken and have the power of the Gate." ”
That's why it's called the Awakened. Xiao Lin nodded, according to this statement, he had been entangled by this door when he was born.
"You can say that, but the door doesn't make a choice easily, so there must be a reason why you were chosen, and there is a quality in your body that just echoes the door, and the thought of being Shura is even more incredible. The face on the devil's tree stared at Xiao Lin up and down, to be honest, it really didn't see what was different about Xiao Lin.
It has lived for a long time, and it has seen many geniuses, and it has also killed many Tianjiao, Xiao Lin's combat power is much weaker than those people of the same age, and this is what makes it puzzling.
"I don't know. Xiao Lin is also wondering what he is very good at, could it be that this door feels that the talent of the people he picked before is too high, and his life is too ordinary, so it is more challenging to change to a stupid one this time?
"What exactly is Shura you just said?" Xiao Lin asked, this question has been buried in his heart since he started with the ghost, and occasionally thinking about it still makes him sleep unsteadily, so he took this opportunity to ask clearly.
"Shura is the name of this door. "I had the privilege of following her for a while, so I realized that each one has a name, representing different duties and abilities. ”
"Then what are the other five gates?" Xiao Lin asked curiously.
"I don't know about this, you need to find out for yourself, I know the name of this door, because I was once her follower. ”
"No wonder you don't know much, and you can't even name the other five gates. Xiao Lin pursed his lips, feeling that this tree was not very reliable.
The Devil Tree was unimpressed by Xiao Lin's words, and accepted it calmly: "I am a powerful monster in your eyes, but I am just an ant in front of the strongest, not even cannon fodder." ”
"Such an exaggeration?" Xiao Lin couldn't believe it, thinking that the Devil Tree was exaggerating, not even an ant?
"You don't believe what I say, but it's all true, otherwise I wouldn't have survived this world, and I should have died in that battle. The Devil's Tree's voice was a little bleak and pathetic.
"What kind of big war happened?" Xiao Lin couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the world behind the door, the throne that stood on the top of the sky and the huge purple palm still appeared in his dreams from time to time.
"I've only heard of it, but I haven't experienced that battle myself, and I've seen a corner of the battle in a safe place, and I still don't dare to recall it. The Devil's Tree's voice trembled a little, revealing a little fear, and after all these years, he still felt cold about the great war, and fear enveloped it.
"What the hell happened?" Xiao Lin was also a little hairy and stood on end by the Devil Tree, and asked himself boldly.
"It was probably the worst battle ever. The Devil's Tree spoke softly and began to reminisce about the past, "This is the first and only battle in which the High Throne has manifested itself in the world. ”
"The whole continent has been invaded by the flames of war, countless people and beasts have died one after another, the roads are covered with corpses, the whole land has been soaked with blood, an entire continent has been scattered and torn apart, and the world you live in now is only one-fifth of what it was back then. The Devil Tree said.
"What?" Xiao Lin grew his mouth in surprise, "This continent is only one-fifth of what it was back then?
"This history has long since disappeared, there is no way to verify it, even if you tell others now, they will only think you are crazy, but this is the real history. The Devil Tree said lightly.
Xiao Lin's heart swelled with turbulent waves, he had also heard Su He say before that the past history had been erased, artificially covered up, the past could not be verified, and the real events had been rewritten, as if there was a conspiracy that had been brewing since ancient times, and it was about to be moved in the dark.
"Who is that opponent? and who is the person on the Supreme Throne?" Xiao Lin asked hurriedly, he felt more and more that awakening the Shura Gate might not be a good thing for him, and he would be drawn into a fierce struggle in the future, and he would have to accept the arrangement of fate.
"All suffering and blood and tears are fate, and curses are bone-eating poisons that cannot be escaped and can only be endured. Xiao Lin remembered what Old Man Yun had said to him before.
"Could it be that grandpa also knows something about the past?" Xiao Lin was shocked in his heart, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake for a while.
"I haven't seen anyone on the Supreme Throne, have you seen it?" The Devil Tree was even more surprised than Xiao Lin, had the doll in front of him seen the most powerful man in the past, "As for the opponent, I don't know, I only know that the three major calamities of that era were rampant in the world, and they should be related to these three kinds of ghosts." ”
"Are the three major calamities?" Xiao Lin thought in his heart, there are three kinds of ghosts, ghosts, aliens, and corpses, he has already dealt with ghosts, if it weren't for the advent of Shuramen, he would already be a corpse.
"Regarding the three major calamities, you must be careful, whether they are the source of the calamity or not, but they have a blood feud with the Six Gates, and once they find out, the Awakened will do their best to wipe them out. The Devil Tree reminded Xiao Lin, "By the way, the accurate name of the Six Gates should be the Six Realms Gate." ”
"Six Realms Gate?" Xiao Lin was stunned, "Is there anything special about this name?"
"It is rumored that each gate controls a realm, and it is an independent world, hence this name, but there is no way to know how it exactly, and it is up to you to explore it yourself in the future. The Devil Tree said with a sigh.
Xiao Lin's heart was heavy, and he felt a little out of breath, he had known that this would be the case, he would rather not know what happened in the past, so that at least he could live a more relaxed life, and these things were inexplicably put on the table, so that he didn't know how to face it for a while.
"Enough talking, let's go on with your life after this space is out. The Devil Tree said softly, "Don't be distracted by these things, the key is to improve your strength steadily, you are still too weak now, even the Awakened are not qualified to take on this responsibility." ”
Xiao Lin nodded, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, it is easy not to be distracted, but how can it be done so easily, he is afraid that he will be troubled by this truth for a long time in the future.
"Finally, I would like to remind you that the ghosts in the forest are a little ready to move, and there may be movements, so you have to be careful. The Devil Tree finally said a few words to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin was already numb to this kind of news, nodded casually, and then the light flashed, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to the messy stone hill, and there was Linglong lying not far away, with his eyes closed.
"Hey, wake up. Xiao Lin pushed Linglong, and Linglong opened her eyes with a sigh: "What's the matter?"
"The Devil's Tree changed just now, and we all seem to have fainted, but luckily we didn't get any damage. Xiao Lin didn't tell Linglong what he had experienced, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Linglong looked around and found that the Devil's Tree was still the same Devil's Tree, and the Rocky Gang was still the Rocky Ridge, she rubbed her buzzing head, and didn't react for a while: "Nothing happened?"
Xiao Lin's face was a little unnatural: "It seems to be like this, the devil tree suddenly had a nervous attack, and then we were affected, but there was no injury." ”
The devil tree on one side is so angry that the roots are about to fly, what do you call me nervous, this bear child can't speak, it's really angry, wrong, angry tree.
Linglong nodded and didn't think much about it: "Then let's spend the night here and then go on the road." ”
Xiao Lin nodded in agreement, he was also happy to be so, they would be safe with the devil tree, this is really in response to the old saying, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
It was late at night, and in the core area of the Ghost Forest, there was a slight sound suddenly, and the sound of rustling gradually spread, and countless figures walked out of the forest, and the soles of their feet stepped on the ground, leaving traces of rising flames one by one.
If Xiao Lin must be terrified at this point, the figures are none other than the powerful ghosts, one of the three major calamities.
Walking in front of the whole is a black and red ghost, who looks obviously bigger than the other ghosts, his eyes are shining like two suns, and his mouth is open and closed to reveal human voices.
"Shura, you can't run this time. ”
