Chapter Seventy-Six: A Story
That being said, in such a large area of the Thousand Islands Plain, it was too difficult to find a group of people, but fortunately, the corpse dog taught Jiang Qiu a small technique to find people, which was not precious, it could only be regarded as fun, but it also solved his troubles.
Qingjiu noticed that Jiang Qiu was holding a piece of broken steps and kept drawing on the ground, the route was a little complicated, but on the whole, it could be seen that it was an arrow style, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
Jiang Qiu explained: "A technique used to find the general direction of a person. ”
"Oh, it's a contract you were talking about, right?" Qingjiu said: "It's complicated to paint for so long?" ”
The group had only left the Children's Island for ten miles, and Jiang Qiu stopped, and he had been sketching for a full hour.
Jiang Qiu shook his head and said, "I have already mastered it. ”
"So what are you waiting for?"
"I'm thinking about how to change this technique, and now this person-finding technique is too general and can only give directions, and I want to improve it." Jiang Qiu took the fragment of clothes belonging to Guan Haonan in his hand, "With the clothes on the body as the condition, give the direction, I want to turn it into giving the approximate whereabouts, which can be understood as a positioning system up to the individual." ”
Qingjiu is a person with a military career, and he doesn't have a deep study of techniques, and he only thinks that Jiang Qiu is very strong when he says this, and Min, a beast that has survived for a long time, also walked in front of Jiang Qiu curiously when he heard this, and silently watched Jiang Qiu constantly sketch, delete and modify, and supplement the line.
An obsession with painting, an obsession with looking.
Jiang Qiu is like this, a habit that he developed very early, never satisfied with the food he learned, but must ask himself to be able to draw inferences.
After a long time, the clouds in the sky had dissipated, and Min had already changed from curiosity at the beginning, to silence, and then to fear of a person, and couldn't help but say from the bottom of his heart: "I feel that you are even more terrible than the person twenty years ago." ”
"Of course, it refers to the height of growth in the future."
Jiang Qiu sat on the grass, rubbed his neck that had been a little sore for too long, and said angrily: "You have time to compare me, why don't you remind me that the enemy is coming." ”
Just ten meters away from Jiang Qiu, a group of sentinels wandering in the Thousand Islands Plain were all decapitated by Wang Sun.
Wang Sun was very interested in this kind of white bone, took a few heads and played with them for a while, heard Jiang Qiu's voice, and said flatly: "It's easy to deal with, I'll deal with it." ”
Jiang Qiu thanked him, stood up, and looked in the northwest direction, and the direction pointed by the search technique he had repeatedly thought about and improved under his feet was there.
And the island of Zhiming, where the corpse dog can borrow soldiers, is also here.
The group followed the guide, hoping to exchange the favor of the orcs, so that they could be biased towards humans and complete the exam questions from the dragon beasts, but Min was not optimistic about this.
Walking on the road, Min, as the oldest in the team, the beast who knew the most history, and had reason and strength to rank seniors, said: "Do you know the origin of Zhimei Island? ”
From Liu Ye standing in front of Min to protect him, to accompanying him all the way to the palace and returning to Broken Slope City, Min never suddenly betrayed Jiang Qiu, naturally Jiang Qiu was not too wary of him, and asked respectfully, "Please give me advice." ”
Min gave him a strange look, "Call you when you need me, and when you don't need you, you lazy stupid cow?" ”
Qingjiu couldn't help laughing, Jiang Qiu smiled, "You think too much, I have always respected you." ”
Min was not angry, but found the child interesting and said, "It's a rather cumbersome story. ”
The stories of the deceased recorded in history books are often touching, but the characters are too wonderful and the words are too few.
But this is the charm of history, just a few lines can write a person's brilliance, Jiang Qiu can roughly guess the characters in the historical story in this Thousand Islands Plain, and said softly: "Please advise." ”
Min carried the three of them forward, was silent for a moment, and leisurely recalled: "Back then, that shadow magician was too outstanding among the first batch of cultivators, but he was not a high-flying and domineering person, he was the kind of good old man who liked to bask in the sun and slept lazy, and even would not get angry when he was ridden on his face to and pee, of course, this good old man was the illusion that the shadow magician gave to everyone, when the whole world thought that he was a good old man, such a person was the most terrifying. ”
"At first, no one cared, thinking that it was just an ordinary battle between humans and beasts, but in fact, the seven beast directors decided to execute the shadow magician and execute Zhao Zilong, and they also wanted to take this opportunity to attract all the 108 people who were the first to acquire the ability of the human race and eradicate them by the roots."
"Zhao Zilong stood tall in the middle of the wind and rain, and he had no reverence for the seven beast directors with the highest power and strength."
Speaking of this, Min sneered, "The Huashao Kingdom in Asia, the Luoxiang Country in the Americas, and the Yeying Country in Europe, the three great powers are actually afraid of this kind of man who surpasses the limits of human beings, and they are actually behind this matter. ”
"We orcs set up a game to hunt all the magicians, and the three major countries controlled their families, forcing the magicians to fight to the death with us, which should have been a lose-lose war, but the most famous but the most 'weak' shadow magician, with an invincible attitude, broke the game."
"At that time, the orcs came up with a way, around the Spring Festival of a certain year, the three major countries were immersed in the joy of the New Year, and many cultivators would leave Tianyang City and return to their respective countries, and we orcs conveniently washed a city in blood at this time, which used to be the North China Plain and is now the Thousand Islands Plain, that is, the original city on Zhiming Island, and blamed this on a magician who went crazy out of control, and trumpeted that human affairs should be handled by humans, attracting magicians to this city."
Min has a strong body, and when the bloody and bloody past of the year is slowly revealed, a conspiracy is revealed in just a few words.
Jiang Qiu looked at Min, thinking about the distant but related stories told by the other party, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This method of blame is very crude and clumsy. ”
Min tugged his thick lips, smiled silently, and looked at him peacefully, "At that time, human beings were very proud, everyone didn't know that there could only be 108 magicians, and everyone wanted to embark on the path of cultivation, so they took it for granted that human affairs should be handled by humans, and now you may not know how arrogant human beings were twenty years ago." ”
Jiang Qiu is a natural magician, he obtained the technique not long after he was born, and he doesn't feel much about human arrogance, but he can live in the countryside, move to the city, and change his place of residence every few years, he has already seen all kinds of life, so he believes what Min said.
Min's eyes lowered slightly like the autumn breeze, as if recalling the unity of the orcs in that year, the arrogance and ambition of the human race, but every memory was a kind of wear and tear on himself, and then he continued to say in harmony:
"After we came to the human world, the qi that came with us affected you, and you produced a technique, although this kind of thing we orcs call instinctive energy, and because of a secret that I can't say, it can allow orcs to change their bodies at will, no different from human categories, and by virtue of racial superiority and personal charm, mixed in with the upper echelons of the human race."
Min slowly raised his head, looked at him calmly and said, "If it weren't for the fear of your human beings' nuclear weapons that almost destroyed the world, we would have launched a war to change the domination of the earth, but the seven beast directors were unwilling to act like this, but they were bent on destroying your magicians, how could they leave any flaws?" In fact, when a city was washed in blood, the orcs lost several second-level truth-seeking realm powerhouses, otherwise you wouldn't believe it. ”
"Bloody cities are indeed damned." Jiang Qiu frowned and asked, "But in the end, how did you become one person who beat you seven beast directors?" ”
Min sighed, his sigh full of pity, "I admit that what we orcs do is to be spurned, but you humans have imprisoned the families of the sorcerers and forced them to fight with us, so it is not a coincidence that some of the sorcerers' families happen to be in that city. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Qiu's mood suddenly tightened.
Only hatred can force a person to take the initiative and willingly lead to self-destruction.
When the magicians know that their family members are dead, even if they are being used, they will not hesitate to go to that city, just like if they see their family members lying at home covered in blood one day, and all the spearheads are pointed at the board of directors of Tianyang City, he will not hesitate to break into the place where the board of directors is meeting with a knife and a gun, and cut everyone to pieces at all costs.
"But only the shadow magicians participated in that battle, and it didn't affect all the magicians."
Jiang Qiu looked at the living history Min and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with the orc's arrangement?" ”
Min was silent for a long time, and then laughed, and there was a very complicated meaning hidden in his smile, some emotion, some shock, some bitterness, and some pain.
"There is no problem with the arrangement of the orcs, taking advantage of the arrogance of human beings, taking advantage of human nature's desire for power to occupy alone, the two sides invariably set up a game against the magician, and after the magician of the bloody city 'sobered up', he admitted that he did it and wanted to challenge all the vengeful people, so no one suspected that it was a conspiracy, and thought that there were evil people in the human race themselves."
Min looked at him quietly and said, "But the shadow artist Zhao Zilong doesn't believe it. ”
Jiang Qiu asked puzzledly, "Why doesn't he believe it?" ”
Min said: "The most powerful and powerful person back then, where is it easy to deceive." ”
Jiang Qiu was stunned, shook his head, and said, "This kind of explanation is exactly the same as not explaining. ”
Min sighed: "Back then, I was a mount of a certain person, and I also asked this kind of question before I was slapped by Zhao Zilong before the battle. ”
Jiang Qiu listened carefully.
Min smiled and said: "At that time, in that empty city, he said: I am a good person, but I am not a fool, put everyone's hearts in the sun and bask in the sun, and you can shine all the ghosts." ”
There was a moment of silence.
Jiang Qiu asked, "And then?" ”
Listen to the story naturally to listen to the whole story, otherwise you will not be a good narrator.
Min shrugged, "The story behind it...... There should be a lot of records in the history books, right? ”
Jiang Qiu said: "But I really want to hear the story of your client, maybe it will be different from the book." ”
Min's voice was low, and he said, "The orc's methods did not deceive the shadow man, he stopped everyone at the city boundary monument and walked towards us orcs alone, because he felt that someone should pay for the bloodbath. At that time, the seven leaders of the orcs thought very highly of themselves, and they had lived for thousands of years, and they would always have a low opinion of humans with a lifespan of less than a hundred years, and they didn't have much fear, but they just felt that it was a pity that only one came, and it was not enough for them to kill. ”
"Later, it was very simple, the shadow magician was unwilling to die, so he won."
I didn't want to die, so I won.
It is very simple, a very simple conspiracy and story, but it is a real historical story, the simpler it is said, the more thrilling it is, after decades, only this witness of history knows how the conspiracy was carried out, how much cost and effort was spent, and how the eastern part of the North China Plain was broken and turned into the Thousand Islands Plain.
All the ravines around it are the result of the war, and so are the sinking of the earth and the inundation of the sea.
Min is a witness to everything.
Jiang Qiu looked at Min's eyes full of stories, "Then why do you orcs make a contract to bind your own people, and even death can't make a move on humans?" ”
Min raised his right hoof anthropomorphically, and the tip of the hoof emitted a black light that seemed to come from the underworld, but it exuded a warm aura that made people feel peaceful.
Every step this buffalo takes, a roadside weed loses its breath, and another step will make a seed sprout and bloom, and death and life coexist in a human body, not even simple death, but a transfer, a transfer of life.
Step by step, life withers and blooms.
Jiang Qiu didn't think of the scene on Guanyin Buddha Island, but an island was a strange scene of half death and half life.
Jiang Qiu stared at the black light, feeling the breath, shocked and speechless.
The realm of strength that Min displayed was too unfathomable, and it was the most powerful he had ever seen in his life.
Qingjiu had unconsciously created a crystal long sword, looking at the terrifying picture of half of the world and half of hell, with Min as the dividing line, life on the left and death on the right, and couldn't help but show surprise.
Such a strong man is actually an inconspicuous mount?
"On the island of Zhimei, after our defeat, all the beasts involved in the war invariably heard a voice, a voice that belonged to our destiny, a fate that we knew for thousands of years but did not exist."
"It seems like a joke played by the gods."
"We've struggled, we've come, we've killed, but in the end, fate has already written our ending, and we can't change it. It's like if you see a roadside injured sparrow, after careful treatment and recovery, but it will still be hunted by feral cats, and it will be limited to lifespan and die. ”
"Zhimei Island knows its fate, so there are differences within our beasts, some people want to atone for their sins, some people want revenge, and some people want to wait for fate calmly, so the dragon beast chooses to atone for its sins and make a contract with the powerful orcs, even if it dies, it can no longer attack humans."
Jiang Qiu's eyes widened, "Such a child's play? ”
This is the second time Min has heard this statement, he slowly looked up at the sky, as if looking for the god who turned the wheel of fate, "Your life is too short to understand fate, we orcs have a lifespan of thousands of years, and you naturally can't know the awe of fate." ”
"Fate makes us stand outside the cage and watch the play, and we watch the play. Fate has put us in the cage, and we have entered the cage without even the slightest ability to resist. ”
......
......
"It turned out to be you, great Min, the mount of the Lord." Two untimely but shocking voices appeared behind the group.
The orcs who had ambushed Jiang Qiu in the sewers of Tianyang City but returned in vain, and a fiery red raven, came here at some point, and they looked at the strong buffalo that Jiang Qiu rode underneath.
Life and death are in my body, good and evil are as I like.
Their faces were filled with incredulity and fanatical joy.
The two beasts that suddenly appeared behind the group looked tired, and there were uncondensed blood beads on the left shoulder of the ascetic, as if they had experienced a vicious battle, and a one-eyed dripping look at everyone on the top of their heads, and a pair of tentacles drooped naturally, as if they were on alert.
The fiery red raven only had Min in his eyes, and he couldn't even hold back his tears, "I finally see you again, I wonder where that adult is now?" ”
Min didn't answer, didn't even turn around, but continued to look at the sky, the back of his shoulders didn't seem to carry Jiang Qiu's people, but the heavy and unavoidable fate of the orc clan, it can be seen that Min's body seems to be bent a little.
Jiang Qiu didn't know who the two beasts were, but stared at the fiery red raven in it, faintly feeling danger, followed by some kind of throbbing in the shadow, which made him fall into deep thought.
Although the contemplation was for the next practice, when he saw the unknown orc appear, he was more vigilant, and moved as he pleased, a black shadow climbed up his right arm, forming a huge broadsword, and if he disagreed with the words, he would kill the beast.
However, he noticed that the two beasts ignored him, and they seemed to have found a spiritual leader, looking at Min in obsession.
