Chapter 57: Mountains and Rivers and the Book of Nine Towns
Seeing Mo Li's strange appearance, Mo Wentian and Sect Elder followed Mo Li's gaze, only to find that the piece of tortoise shell that had been quiet had turned out to be abnormal, you know, this piece of tortoise shell has been placed here for tens of millions of years, and it has not changed at all by many generations, and then it has been sealed with this secret room and not detected by the outside world.
"This ...... Has the ancestor appeared?"
Zong Lao's lips trembled, his thin arm stretched out, and the tortoise shell flew into his hand with a snort.
Mo Li was stunned for a moment, daring to love this old ancestor who looked like he was ready to drive the crane west at any time was not a simple person, at least this hand took things from the air, Mo Li couldn't show it yet.
The sect elder was looking at the tortoise shell excitedly at the moment, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to Mo Li.
However, after observing for a long time, he found that the tortoise shell did not show anything other than a little light, so he sighed lightly and shook his head.
Mo Li hesitated for a moment and took out the tortoise shell in his Sumeru ring.
"Sect Elder, I think, maybe it's because of this?" Mo Li carefully stretched out the tortoise shell towards Sect Elder.
Before the sect elder could react, a burst of light erupted from the two tortoise shells, illuminating the originally somewhat dim stone room.
"It's ......"
Zong Lao looked at the other tortoise shell that Mo Li took out with some shock, and then looked at the piece in his hand, and the boss with his deflated mouth seemed to be completely stunned.
"Elder Zong!" Mo Wentian on the side was a little worried, Elder Zong was old, so don't make any mistakes because of excitement.
Zong Lao trembled and reached out to take the tortoise shell in Mo Li's hand, and looked at it carefully, but except for the glow, the two tortoise shells had no other characteristics.
"Heaven's will!" Zong Lao's mouth let out a strange smile of "ho ho", and he looked at Mo Wentian and his father and son: "Ask heaven, heaven's will!"
"Elder Zong, what providence?" Mo Wentian was also a little inexplicable, since he could remember, Elder Zong had been like this, and he had never been so out of shape.
"Come, kid, you come!" Zong Lao took a stride and arrived at the stone table, looking at this skill, where he still looked like an old man who was about to die, Mo Li was ashamed of himself.
But now is not the time to admire this, Mo Wentian father and son came to the stone table, and the sect elder took a yellowed book and handed it to Mo Wentian.
"Mountains and rivers?"
Mo Wentian said softly, this yellowed book, these words were written on the cover.
I don't know who did it and when, and I don't know what the material is, the whole has been somewhat damaged, and the handwriting in many places has been blurred, and if you look closely, you can only see a rough idea, and the last one seems to have been torn off a few pages by life, not particularly complete.
The book is only a dozen pages in total, most of which are records of the geography of mountains and rivers, accompanied by some pictures, and some mountains and rivers.
Page by page, and finally on the last page, Mo Wentian and Mo Li found the reason why the sect elder asked them to watch.
This is a record that is more like Mo Li's diary in his previous life, and the person who wrote it seems to be in a hurry, and the handwriting is also very messy, which probably means that the ultimate battle is finally about to begin, in order to preserve a trace of fire, the clansmen and infinite resources can only be sealed with the "Nine Towns Heavenly Book", if there is a fate in the future, collect all the nine heavenly books, the clansmen will naturally be able to see the light of day again, but if not, then let everything be annihilated in the long river of time.
Although there were not many words, Mo Li still felt a trace of uneasiness and apprehension from the person who wrote it, and it was estimated that he was not too sure of the so-called ultimate battle at that time.
"Children, have you finished reading it?" Zong Lao held a tortoise shell in one hand, looked excited, and said with trembling lips: "This is the Heavenly Book left by the Old Ancestor, as long as we collect nine Heavenly Books, we can find our lost ancestors." ”
"But, Sect Elder, how can you be sure that this is our ancestor? And what kind of heavenly book is this tortoise shell?" Mo Li tilted his head, his eyes full of doubt.
The elder of the sect was stunned, obviously he had never considered such a question, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Ancient legends, naturally it will not be wrong, will our ancestors still go to recognize our ancestors?"
Ancient legends?
Mo centrifugal laughed, can this be said accurately?
And even if everything is true, the sealed human race, after thousands of years of evolution, still don't know what kind of people are counting on others?
Mo Wentian was obviously a little unconvinced, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "What is this Nine Towns Heavenly Book, it is still too far away from us, if this tortoise shell is really a Heavenly Book, then there should also be nine pieces, tens of thousands of years have passed, I don't know where they are scattered for a long time, and it is not easy to collect them." ”
As he spoke, Mo Wentian also winked at Mo Li and motioned for him not to speak.
When the sect elder heard this, he was silent for a while, and only after a long time did he speak: "I know you don't believe it, but this is passed down by the ancestors by word of mouth. ”
"We have been in the family for thousands of years, although we don't know what happened at the beginning, but since we have retained these things, we naturally can't let them be annihilated at will, this mountain and river chronicles, tortoiseshell heavenly books, and Yuan Ding, this is the treasure left to us by our ancestors, the descendants are not good, can not study the subtlety, and can only be passed down from generation to generation, hoping that one day in the future, someone can let them shine again. ”
Zong Lao's voice fell, and he seemed to have spent a lot of energy, coughing constantly, and his body seemed to be more rickety.
"Sect Elder, I'm ......" Mo asked Tian in a hurry, wanting to speak, but was interrupted by Sect Elder raising his hand.
After a long time, Zong Lao stopped coughing and spoke: "Ask the sky, you are the best person in our Kunkou Mo clan, and you will be in charge of this line in the future, as for Xiao Li'er," Zong Lao's voice paused, and he looked at Mo Li before he spoke again: "He is too good, we can't keep him here, and we can't be his fetters, although I am already old-eyed, but I haven't fainted yet, Xiao Li'er's future achievements, I'm afraid you and I can't see the top of his head when I look up!"
After the words fell, Zong Lao sat on the edge of the bed, put the two tortoise shells in Mo Wentian's hands, and said in a deep voice: "Wentian, this mountain and river chronicles, tortoiseshell heavenly books and Yuan Ding will be handed over to you for safekeeping in the future, the things of the ancestors, whether they are true or not, even if it is just a thought, it is fine." ”
Mo Wentian did not refuse, took the tortoise shell, and his face was solemn: "Grandpa, rest assured, Wentian will definitely live up to the trust!"
At this moment, Mo Wentian did not call the sect elder, but called out the grandfather he had been used to since he was a child.
Elder Zong smiled, and his old face was like a freshly blooming flower.
Coming out of the ancestral hall, Mo Wentian's face was a little unsightly, probably because he was uncomfortable by the words of the sect elder.
"Xiaoli, if it's possible in the future, you'd better look for it, what if it's true?"
Mo Wentian's words are a little clueless, but Mo Li understands, it seems that although Mo Wentian doesn't believe in the legends in the mouth of the sect elder, after all, it is not easy to inherit, and the story of the ancestors' efforts for thousands of years should still have a certain basis.
Mo Li responded, which was regarded as a promise to Mo Wentian.
————————
The night is like water, and the bright moonlight is like a white veil covering the entire earth, mysterious and gentle.
Mo Lipan sat on the bed, with the two mysterious tortoise shells in front of him, the gray light, which was even more mysterious in the moonlight.
It's been almost half a month since I got these two tortoise shells, and Mo Li's father and son have spent a lot of effort on research, but they haven't gained anything.
Taking advantage of Mo Wentian's inattention, Mo Li tried measures such as burning, blisters, and dripping blood, and even with the aura, he didn't know how much was infused, but the two tortoise shells were like stubborn stones, and there was no reaction, which made Mo Li's hateful teeth itch.
The tortoise shell is only the size of a palm, and the back is covered with natural stone carvings, the two are not the same, and there seems to be no connection, if it weren't for the gray light whenever he gets closer, Mo Li even wondered if this was a coincidence, it was nature that played a joke with him, and it happened to form two similar stones.
Mo Li sighed lightly, put away the tortoise shell again, and took out the book of mountains and rivers.
Soon after coming out of the ancestral hall, Mo Wentian handed over these two things to Mo Li, and for his son, Mo Wentian naturally trusted him 100%.
Compared with the tortoise shell, this mountain and river chronicle is much simpler and easier to understand, the whole book is only a dozen pages, except for the last text that is suspected to be a diary or last words, that is, the introduction of some strange mountains and rivers.
However, what made Mo Li happy was that there was an introduction to the Tiangang Continent in the Mountains and Rivers Chronicles, although it was only a few words, but it made the Tiangang Continent as a whole clear.
You must know that the Tiangang Continent is so big, no one can say clearly, I heard Lei Kui say that even the top masters of the most continent may not be able to set foot in every corner of the Tiangang Continent in their lifetime, not to mention, there are countless earth-shattering worlds and ocean Jedi all around the continent.
It is mentioned in the Chronicles of Mountains and Rivers that the Tiangang Continent is roughly divided into five major parts, the Eastern Xuan Domain, the Western Killing Domain, the Antarctic Domain, the Northern Cold Domain, and the Middle Pole Divine Prefecture, and each of these domains is divided into countless boundaries.
Mo Li's current location should be the Kunlun Mountain in the middle of the Eastern Xuan Domain.
Every time I see this, it makes Mo Li's blood boil a little, such a world, how many million times larger than the earth in the previous life, in the past two or three years, for the sake of experience, and Yuan Kong across the Kunlun Mountains more than 30,000 kilometers, but it seems to be only a drop in the bucket of the Kunlun Mountain boundary, except for the mysterious beasts, not even a single alien race has been encountered, which shows the wide geographical distribution.
Closing the mountains and rivers, Mo Li clenched his fist gently, he must go out and see the magnificence of the outside world, and his parents should also make a choice.
Mo Li exhaled lightly and looked at Yuan Kong who was sleeping next to him, his golden hair shining in the silver moonlight, rising and falling with his breathing, like a fine silk.
Yuan Kong's cultivation in the past two years has also broken through one after another, and like himself, he has reached the consummation of the Blood Refining Realm, and he may enter the Soul Melting Realm at any time.
The body has also grown a lot taller, more than 20 centimeters, although it still looks very cute, but compared to the original palm size, it is already an excessive growth rate.
Gently rubbing Yuan Kong's head, listening to Yuan Kong's childlike murmur, Mo Li smiled knowingly, this is his first partner in this world, and he is also the brother who accompanies him in all battles.
Many times, if it weren't for Yuan Kong's rescue, Mo Li might have been chased to death by various mysterious beasts.
The more he grows, the more Mo Li can't see through this little guy, this should be the bloodline inheritance that Lei Kui mentioned to himself, with growth, the power hidden in the bloodline of the ancestors has gradually awakened, so that future generations can benefit.
To tell the truth, even if he has the soul of an adult, Mo Li is a little envious, this kind of life is called enjoyment, just sleep and box, you can easily advance, which is like yourself, in order to make the body stronger, you have to be forced to be struck by lightning.
