Chapter 177: Ancient Matters (I)
"Whether it's a demon or a human...... If there is a demon in the heart, it is a human being or a repulsion. Mo Wunian thought about it and replied to Zhu Jiuling's words.
It's not a direct reply to her answer, but in fact, the answer is all in the words.
She was a little surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect him to give such an answer at all, but how he and Wu Mu got along with the villagers in a year, she saw it all.
"What you said is quite interesting, when I was in the palace in Suzaku, I would say some bad things about the human race when I met people. ”
"It's the same in the human race, the real ghosts are those who are sanctimonious and have ghosts in their hearts. ”
After saying a word to her again, Mo Wunian left, and he was not worried that Zhu Jiuling would make public the fact that he and Wu Mu were human races.
Because a year has passed, if she wanted to say it, she should have said it a long time ago, and Mo Wunian could also see that she should also be a reasonable person, otherwise she would not have helped the villagers restore the crops a year ago, but left early.
Seeing him gradually walking away, Zhu Jiuling was also about to go back to her residence, but when she thought of the flirtatious Xiao Sanzhu, she had another flash of inspiration in her mind and came up with a good idea to trick him.
She just wants to stay on the line...... Who let him spoil her pleasure in the Terran realm?
But her happiness this year has been based on Xiao Sanzhu's pain, for example, this year she replaced the wine he drank in the gourd with a paralyzing poisonous wine, which made him stiff in one place for three days and three nights, or when he was about to cool under the big tree, she deliberately secretly threw a few sparks from the tree and threw them on his neck, burning him "alive"......
In short, she will use everything she can think of on him in the past year.
......
Another three years have passed, Wu Mu's flowers have finally been planted in the same shape as Mo Wunian's, and when she inadvertently looked at the mountain in the ancestral land of the demon clan, she found that the snow on the mountain actually showed signs of melting, and when she looked at it again, the inexplicable chill was gradually weakening.
"I want to go to that mountain. ”
"Okay, I'll accompany you. ”
I don't know when, Mo Wunian was already standing behind her, still a simple and monotonous conversation as before, but in the monotony, both of them expressed what they wanted to express the most.
In a few months, the snow on that mountain will melt completely.
Although nearly seven years have passed before and after, and there is a deviation from the time calculated by Xiao Sanzhu, in fact, for Mo Wunian, the answer that he will know sooner or later is the same.
During this time, Xiao Sanzhu, who was rarely seen, also appeared, and just as Mo Wunian was talking to Wu Mu, he walked in front of them silently.
But he also saw him looking left and right, looking like a thief for a while, before he sighed and said: "Alas, I think I, Xiao Sanzhu, am also a romantic person, so I have to be careful when I walk cautiously because of a female birdman!"
Who the "birdman" he said in his words, although he didn't say it explicitly, Mo Wunian and Wu Mu knew it.
Who would have thought that Zhu Jiuling would stay here for another three years, and he had no intention of leaving at all, which made Xiao Sanzhu miserable...... Even if he didn't want to guard against "thieves", he became "thieves"!
"Who asked you to bring her back before, she deserves it!" Wu Mu seemed to still only gloat at him, and she even laughed as she spoke.
Zhu Jiuling looks older than Wu Mu in terms of appearance, but in recent years, her various performances have been like a child who doesn't grow up, but her childlike heart, which is full of imagination and fantasy, has come up with some bad ideas to use on Xiao Sanzhu.
Hearing Wu Mu say this about him, he was also aggrieved and said to Mo Wunian: "Brother Mo, you see...... Actually, it's not easy for me!".
"Brother Xiao, it's better to correct your problem...... Otherwise, if you see someone in red clothes in the future, you will want to carry it back, and sooner or later you will make a mistake at this point. Mo Wunian's tone was flat, but it actually meant persuasion.
As far as he knew, in several sects with a majority of female cultivators in the upper three states of Zhongyuan, most of their female monks liked to wear red clothes......
And the background of those sects is not much worse than that of the Suzaku Kingdom!
Xiao Sanzhu listened to it, and wanted to refute, but what he did after thinking about it was really not reasonable at all, he just lowered his head like a defeated rooster and sighed!
"Why are you embarrassed to sigh! I haven't gotten rid of my breath...... Do you dare to speak ill of me behind my back......? It must be that the ideas I came up with are not good enough! It must be so! By the way, I have a good idea recently!"
"Don't, Miss Zhu, I'm afraid of you, this is my storage bag...... Take a closer look at what you can see, and if you take it, I'm afraid of you!"
The more people are afraid of something, what will come, he just thought about Zhu Jiuling for a while, but she walked behind him quietly, and he turned around and scared him so much that he stumbled and fell to the ground!
Hearing her say that she had a new idea, he was really scared, and she had been looking for fun for four years in a row, but he was miserable......
A face that has always been frivolous, but this will also become crying without tears.
"So...... You still want to cry, where did you give me the courage to suffocate me?"
There was a striking charm on her face, but the curvature of the corners of her mouth also showed her "bad intentions."
meaning".
Xiao Sanzhu was also clever and glanced at Mo Wunian and Wu Mu, but Mo Wunian's gaze had stayed on the mountain range where the ancestral land of the demon clan was located since Fang Cai and had never left, and Wu Mu directly ignored him.
If Xiao Sanzhu had to ask her to help say something, she would only say: "You will receive the fruit you planted yourself!"
But fortunately, Mo Wunian said lightly: "I want to go to that mountain to see, but I don't know how the people in the village will react?"
There are only four people in total, and the one he asks here is Xiao Sanzhu, who has been together for seven years, and he can see that although the people in the village have accepted him and Wu Mu, two outsiders, they have avoided them all the time in some things.
For example, Mo Wunian can talk to them very openly about their farming experience, but they avoid answering when asked about the topic of that mountain, Wu Mu will teach them embroidery, but when it comes to their ancestors, they don't say a word......
In fact, Mo Wunian could have asked this question before, but in fact, the attitude of the villagers would not change if he asked it early or late, and this would ask Xiao Sanzhu to let him say his opinion.
"Actually...... If you want to go to that mountain, probably Huang and Hu will definitely disagree......! If I take you up, it will be different!" Xiao Sanzhu said, patting his chest with a swear.
It stands to reason that since Xiao Sanzhu's identity was not answered from the beginning, it doesn't matter what his identity is. But in the past seven years, Mo Wunian found that the villagers' attitude towards Xiao Sanzhu was still a little different.
Looking very intimate, but always keeping some distance, he was "idle" all day long, but the villagers gave him a certain amount of affirmation for his various behaviors, and this affirmation even stole a little respect......
Just like he said, if he took Mo Wunian up the mountain, the villagers would probably open one eye and close one eye.
As for Mo Wunian, after seven years of getting along, he didn't want to alarm these villagers and make some unpleasant trouble, but there was really no other way, he could only sneak around that mountain.
"Which mountain are you going to? ...... Can you bring me one?" Zhu Jiuling was also extremely curious about that mountain.
As a demon clan, of course I know the ancestral land of the demon clan, but where is it...... She'd heard a lot of people say it, but most of them only knew where the general direction was, and they didn't know exactly where it was.
There is also news that there are a few big people in the demon clan who have come, but now it seems that they are all lies. Because during this period of time, of course, she also knew about the existence of the strange apricot leaf forest on the outskirts of the village, and even the monks of the other side of the realm under the immortal could not enter this forest.
In this way, all they are telling are false.
Also as a demon clan, of course, she is also extremely curious about this legendary place. Now that I have the opportunity to walk on it, of course I want to go up.
Whether she came with her or not, it didn't matter if Mo Wunian was coming, he was here to verify some things, and as long as he didn't mention those things in his heart, others would never know what he was going to do when he went up the mountain.
"Yes. Mo Wunian didn't talk, but after a little silence, Xiao Sanzhu answered her, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to take her at all, but don't bring it...... I'm afraid she will torture him in another way.
So this look is a happy and chic answer, but in fact it is forced to be helpless.
After another three months, the snow on the mountain had completely melted, and all the original white had faded and replaced it with green, and the few people had to set off for the mountain.
In the early morning, a touch of fish belly white was revealed in the east, and the four of Mo Wunian had already reached the foot of the huge mountain range.
Coming to the mountain again, Mo Wunian looked up at the hollow above his head but still felt shocked.
But this time, he had a different feeling, last time he was driving the mountain to be white, and the inexplicable chill stimulated him in his senses, making him feel that this huge void was ...... It's like the bloody mouth of a gluttonous beast, hollow and palpitating!
But looking at it now, this void is so real that everything about it is exposed in front of you, and it is not like looking at the sunshine and the next moment it will be dark...... The unpredictable sky, on the contrary, under this huge hollow, you will feel extremely reassured.
This reminded him of the sentence he saw on the stone carving in the forbidden land of the Nine Realms Mountain - there is no sky in the world, but with the appearance of that clan, there is a heaven in the world......
But how much of the truth has been covered up, and everything will be known up to the top of the mountain.
Looking at this continuous mountain range, he knew that there should be danger on this mountain.
Whoa......
Mo Wunian originally wanted to fly directly into the sky, but it wasn't until a gust of wind from the mountain blew through the apricot leaf forest one after another that he realized that there were also apricot leaf trees on this mountain that were the same as the outside of the village.
But the trees here don't have the outer overbearing, but the imprisoners can't fly, so they have to step on it step by step.
But what is completely different from what Mo Wunian thought of is that there is no danger at all when he goes all the way, everything is smooth and smooth.
But after coming up, several people, including him, were shocked by the scene in front of them.
"This ...... This is the Demon Court Heavenly Palace? ”
Xiao Sanzhu stared blankly at the floating in the air in front of him, off the ground
The huge complex of buildings dozens of feet high was a little incoherent.
I saw one stone after another, and huge building groups were quietly and staggered together, really like a heavenly palace.
At this point, the confinement effect of the apricot leaf forest disappeared, Mo Wunian stabilized his mind, and flew towards the demon court, and several other people also followed closely behind.
But when he got closer, Mo Wunian also found that this demon court was just a ruin, and a large area of the palace had collapsed, leaving only pieces and pieces of collapsed stones everywhere.
After searching here again, Mo Wunian found a huge stone inscription of about ten zhang, but unfortunately he didn't know the words on it at all, and it was unheard of, and the surface of the stone tablet was densely packed with cracks and cracks, and it was extremely difficult to get some information from it.
However, looking at the mess all over the ground also proves one thing, that is, everything Huang Quan told him about ancient times before is not true.
"Alas...... I recognize a few of these words!" Zhu Jiuling leaned over to this stone tablet and looked at it, but at the same time, he felt strange.
Because this kind of writing is considered to be the language used by the royal family of Suzaku Country, although she thinks it is useless since she was a child, she is no stranger to this kind of writing.
And everything about the Demon Court, she has been here for a while, and she knows a little about it, and now combined with everything related to it, even she is curious about the once ancient Demon Court.
Thinking about it, she said what she could know and see clearly about the kiss words on this monument.
The stele reads: Many years ago, there was a time of great chaos, and it was ...... There is no so-called civilization, there are ritual and music collapse, demons and humans, and barbarian witches...... Many races have been fighting together for a long time, until one day the demon clan has a demon fairy to unify the world and end all the chaos!
This demon fairy is also the demon emperor in Huang Quan's mouth.
The long inscription on the back is also about the exploits of this demon emperor...... It doesn't really matter if you look at it or not.
But only this paragraph also proves once again that what Huang Quan said is true, and it also verifies some of his ideas.
But only listening to the first half of this paragraph, Mo Wunian listened to it, but there was always something missing, because at the beginning, there were as many as 10,000 kinds of various creatures in the inscription group that Zhu Jiuling read, but there was one less clan that should not be missing-the Divine Worship Clan!
Why is this race missing, there was no such race at all more than 100,000 years ago? Or was this race a small race at that time? But listening to Zhu Jiuling read it again, Mo Wunian felt that it was unlikely, because according to the inscription, all the races had already been engraved on it!
After that, Zhu Jiuling didn't look at it carefully, because it was all about the attack of the demon emperor, she went directly to the bottom of the inscription and read it, she read: "We who live in a cage want to go out...... But probably never going out ......."
The inscription further down is completely invisible, but this sentence alone makes people listen to the clouds.
But such a sentence, Mo Wunian listened to it, but it was very similar to too many sentences he had seen on the stone carvings in the forbidden land of the Nine Realms Mountain.
The difference is that the handwriting on the stone carvings is very different, as if it was written by one person.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Jiuling looked at Mo Wunian.
She wasn't stupid, she knew from the beginning that Mo Wunian had other purposes for staying here, but she just thought she was just here to walk on this mountain just like her. But now that he was silent thinking about a stone tablet, she knew what he must know.
"I don't know. I can only tell you that I am also here to seek something related to peace. Mo Wunian replied to her.
This is not to avoid the important and trivial, but what he knows is just a few words, and he needs to go to many places to reason and verify them one by one.
Then, Mo Wunian released his spiritual sense to probe the ruins.
But when he glanced at most of the place, he was also a little disappointed, he should have thought that he should know a lot of things, but now there are only one piece of ruin.
In his disappointment, he saw that there was still a palace intact in the very central position.
That palace is not very majestic, but the texture engraved on it is extremely exquisite, especially some of the demon races engraved on it are the more famous demon races in the cultivation world now...... And it was built in the most central position, thinking about what it would mean.
After thinking for a while, Mo Wunian flew towards the palace.
The palace is built in an extremely luxurious way, although it is not splendid, but it is also crystal clear and shining!
But in the deepest part of the palace, there was a sarcophagus, and the outermost coffin had been opened, and the lid of the coffin inside had not yet moved.
"It can't be the Demon Emperor here, right?" Wu Mu asked with questions.
"I don't know. Mo Wunian shook his head and tried to open the coffin, but to his disappointment, the coffin was easy to open, but it was empty inside.
Where did the people in it go? That's another question.
When he got to this, Mo Wunian was a little disappointed again, thinking that he would be able to know something here, but after a few ups and downs in the clues, he was still completely broken......
At this point, he still only verified a very small part of what he wanted to verify.
