"What do you mean?"

Ji Ran let go of Jiang Xiaoyun in his hand and tried to suppress his anger.

"All this is true!" Jiang Xiaoyun smiled, and also tried to explain in a convincing tone, and said: "Whether it is the forerunner or the gods, in fact, they all exist! ”

"But why haven't I ever heard of it!" Ji Ran was a little curious.

"Because in a sense, the Precursors are extinct!"

"Extinct, if the Precursor you call it so powerful, why is it extinct?"

"Yes, the Precursors are powerful, they have some physique and super wisdom given by the gods, but they are still extinct!"

"Why?" Ji Ran then asked.

"After a long period of development, the Forerunners gradually did not want to be satisfied with being ruled by the gods, they asked the gods to leave, and the gods did not intend to interfere with the choice of the Forerunners, and mercifully chose to leave. But it didn't take long for the civilization of the Forerunners to be destroyed by natural disasters, most of the people died in the cataclysm, and the civilization was destroyed with it, but no matter how terrible the disaster, there were always a few people who could survive and reproduce. Of course, these surviving people have also lost their previous abilities, and they can no longer fly to the sky and be omnipotent like in mythology!"

Jiang Xiaoyun told the deeds of the forerunners vividly, as if he had experienced it himself. His words were infectious, and now Ji Ran was just listening quietly, and he no longer had the mocking look he had just now.

"How do you know all this?"

Ji Ran couldn't help but ask.

"That's what that good guy told me!" Jiang Xiaoyun said playfully.

"The master told you?"

"Yes, when I was sixteen years old, he told me the secret, and I was just as incredulous as you. ”

"But why did the master never tell me?" Ji Ran asked again.

"Because this secret can only be known by the masters of the past generations!"

"But if nothing else, I must be the next generation of Palm Venerable, am I not qualified to know?" Ji Ran was very puzzled, but he neither questioned Jiang Xiaoyun's words, nor did he speculate on the intention of the Palm Venerable.

"Because he doesn't want you to repeat my mistakes!" Jiang Xiaoyun smiled and explained: "He advocates never welcoming back the gods, but I hope to welcome the gods back, so that human beings will not repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

"Why doesn't the master advocate welcoming the return of the gods, isn't it good to be blessed by a powerful force?" Ji Ran couldn't help but ask, obviously agreeing with Jiang Xiaoyun's point of view even more in his heart.

"You see, that's why he didn't dare to tell you, the old guy always felt that the destruction of the forerunners was caused by the gods, he was afraid that the returning gods would enslave mankind, and he was afraid that people like you and me would spare no effort to recall the gods after mastering the Sword Xuan. Jiang Xiaoyun spread his hands, indicating his helplessness.

"Why does the master have such thoughts, does he know anything?" Ji Ran and Jiang Xiaoyun's views were slightly different.

"I also had such thoughts, so I have to spare no effort to collect the Devil's Bible!" Jiang Xiaoyun did not refute, but simply agreed.

"Could it be that the secret is in this book?" Ji Ran took out the Devil's Bible from his arms in confusion.

"Follow me!"

Jiang Xiaoyun slowly walked towards a dark room not far away.

Ji Ran followed like this.

The two came to the huge and empty hall of the room Eleven Brother.

In the center of the hall stands a large stone door.

The stone gate is carved with holy beasts from all directions, which looks simple and mysterious.

"Yes, this book can help us to open the relics of the Precursors and thus get their real experience. He pointed to the stone gate and said excitedly to Ji Ran, his fanatical expression made people shudder.

"So you've been scheming on me from the beginning, including the letter you sent me?"

Ji Ran quietly looked at the huge door and asked indifferently.

However, Jiang Xiaoyun didn't seem to be listening at all. With the last of the Devil's Bible in his hand, he explored the first engraving.

"Counting you?" he said contemptuously, as he looked at the book without looking back, "you are exalting yourself too much. I'm giving you a chance, a chance to join my organization. Your job is to understand everything, but I seem to be wrong, you are not trying to know more about what I want you to know, but are honestly investigating the case. ”

"What about you?"

"Naturally, I'm secretly helping you design everything. I gave Shangguan a chance, but unfortunately he didn't cherish it, I hope you can understand my ideals. ”

Jiang Xiaoyun said sincerely, and there was a little self-blame in his tone, as if Shangguan Xiaoluo's death was not done by him, just like a schizophrenic patient.

As he spoke, he then tore off the page of the engraving attached to the Devil's Bible in front of the stunned Ji Ran.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Xiaoyun tore off more pages without changing his face.

"Burn my boat, tear down the bridge behind me. I'm going to enter an unknown place. He tore off nine engravings one by one and stared at them, "I wish you could go with me." ”

"Where can we go?"

Jiang Xiaoyun placed his torn book with the scattered pages, contrasting the nine prints with the mysterious figures in his circle.

"Go meet someone. He replied mysteriously, "Go and meet our great ancestors and see their mysterious civilization." ”

"I see you're crazy!" Ji Ran yelled angrily.

"Maybe yes, maybe not. ”

Jiang Xiaoyun looked down at the circle on the ground, and placed some of the prints next to him, while others were softened and thrown into the distance. The candlelight shone on his face from below, creating a ghostly effect, and his eye sockets were sunken.

"I hope everything goes well," he muttered, "and I need the knowledge of the forerunners to achieve my ideals." ”

"I think what you need most right now is a normal mind. ”

Jiang Xiaoyun didn't seem to be able to hear what Ji Ran said.

"You've never been curious about anything like this?" He continued, looking at Ji Ran with deep-set eyes, "Why am I so persevering, even if I can give up everything?"

Jiang Xiaoyun picked up a glass container next to the circle, and there was a curled snake on each of the two handles.

"Oh?"

Ji Ran was a little interested again.

"I have been inspired by the pioneers!" Jiang Xiaoyun smiled to himself, "Actually, we are all people who were chosen by our ancestors, and we were born to accomplish great things." ”

Ji Ran raised his chin and looked at Jiang Xiaoyun in a coat not far away, he looked calm and thin, the candlelight made his face that had not been shaved for many days look sunken, and the light and shadow danced on his squinted eyelids.

And Ji Ran clasped his hands in front of his chest and looked at Jiang Xiaoyun like this.
