Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ancient Curse
"By the second year, the newborn twins were visibly different in weight, and upon examination by the powerful men of the clan, one of the babies had a wooden skeleton! ”
"Within a few days, the True Book Master led a group of people to dig out the eye of the Soul Sealing Array, and inspected the trunk of this Gujun Tree, which was exactly the same as the Ling Tree, and found no abnormality, but when they continued to dig down, they found that the trunk was actually inserted in the underground waterway, and it was still secreting dark green liquid, and those natural underground waterways were connected to the wells of the entire city-state!"
"So the trunk of the Gujun tree caused the lignification of the fetal bones?" Bai Wan asked after the village chief's words.
"I don't know, the high-level at that time did not come to a conclusion, and the true book recorded that the family code was not allowed to add their own judgment. The old village chief looked at Chen Mu who was lying on the ground and replied.
"Even if the lignified bones can be made up for the day after tomorrow, it won't lead to the decline of your clan, right?" Bai Wan couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's useless to say anything, without the leadership of the leader, the higher-ups at that time ordered the holy forest to be burned, whether it was a Lingshu or a Junshu, all of them were burned. This is why the most serious mistake was made! The Ancient Tree Species was unable to activate the Spiritual Mind for some reason, this person knew it, but they did not know that the growth of the Ancient Tree did not depend on the roots to absorb nutrients, but on the leaves and trunks to absorb the surrounding aura and sunlight, and the roots were only reading individuals to the trunk. This gave the roots the necessary conditions to enlighten the spirit! In the sacred forest, there happened to be an ancient monarch tree with roots and tendrils to cultivate the wisdom. ”
"Seeing that the trunk of the tree from which he drew nourishment was burned, he was angry and washed the entire city-state with blood, because its roots can transform into Chengren, a large number of high-ranking monks have been assassinated by the roots that have turned into friends, which directly leads to the current decline of our Water Mirror Clan. ”
"Even though you say so, how do you know that the root of the tree is bloodied by the burning of its own trunk? Why did it grow in the Ling Forest? Why do they think that the dark green liquid secreted by the trunk of the tree has caused the lignification of the newborn!" Bai Wan once again lost his composure, and said loudly with a straight face full of righteous indignation.
Of course, there is something to say about this unclear smear Jun Shu and his root Bai Wan, at this time, Jun Shugen is still saving Chen Mu's life!
"This ......" I don't know how many years the old village chief who has lived for many years was suddenly reprimanded by Bai Yun, and he was actually speechless.
"Don't talk about your history, answer me a few questions, maybe I'll believe you. Bai Wan said calmly.
"Okay, the old man will answer all questions. The old village chief also stood up and listened carefully to Bai Wan's question.
"The bronze tripod of the sacrificial room depicts a man cutting off the head of a giant beast, not the leader of the four-body twins you said, how do you explain it?" Bai Wan finished speaking, his eyes staring firmly into the eyes of the village chief.
Without a trace of nervousness and a stalk, the village chief replied slowly: "It is recorded in the clan dictionary that the leader cultivated a secret method that could unite four people, and when his four bodies were one, his combat power increased tenfold, and he easily cut off the head of the strange beast with a giant sword. ”
"That leader should be one of the strongest body source cultivators in the cultivation realm at that time, no wonder the Dou Qi Purple Ball on Chen Mu's body could be branded with a divine sense mark, and it is very likely that he inherited that person's bloodline. Bai Wan thought to herself.
"Okay, listen to my second question. Bai Wan thought for a moment and then spoke again: "How can there be a corpse like you in the sacrificial room, is it your twin?" ”
"The girl guessed right, they were indeed our twins, but they weren't corpses, and we would go there every ten years to swap bodies to prolong our lives. The old village chief replied.
"Third question: Are the roots under your sacrificial room the roots of the Jun tree, and how were they sealed?"
The old village chief was quite surprised, he didn't expect Bai Wan to enter that room, he replied after a little thought: "That root is the spoils of the great battle of the human beard, although our clan paid a terrible price, but the root of the Jun tree was also burned to death with real fire, leaving only this small part. ”
Bai Wan was very surprised, the huge roots in the underground room were only a small part of the body.
After listening to the village chief's answer, she said calmly: "Please go back, you are hiding too deeply, and you don't want to tell the truth at all." ”
At this time, a little ice crystal was silently condensing under the village chief's feet......
After Bai Wan finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene was obviously a little wrong, and the old village chief's face became gloomy: "Little girl, Chen Mu has to take it away, you ......" As soon as he was halfway through the words, four ice walls appeared in an instant around his four turns, firmly stuck him inside.
"No one is allowed to step forward, or your village chief will be turned into pulp!" Bai Wan said loudly with a frown.
"Father, let my father go!" cried the village chief's son as he leaned against the ice wall.
"Miss Bai, please let the village chief go, the village chief is also thinking about the whole village!" Chen's mother was also begging Bai Yun.
"I don't believe any of you people! I'll give you a stick of incense, and if you don't leave, you won't see the village chief again. Bai Wan knew that the more the current situation dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for her, and there would be more and more villagers in the future.
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the crowd and rushed towards Bai Yun! The black shadow also had a bright firewood knife in his hand.
"The fox's tail is exposed! Look for death!" Bai Wan screamed angrily, and an ice blade came out of his hand and directly pierced the head of the black shadow, and then two more black shadows jumped out and were still killed by Bai Yun's blow, but Bai Yun's face became even paler.
"The body of a real wood?" the old village chief seemed to be surprised to call, and the three of them turned into wooden people after they fell to the ground.
"Village chief, don't act, my patience has reached the limit, and there is still the last minute, if you don't let your villagers leave, you will stay here together forever." Although Bai Yun's breathing was a little disordered, he still pretended to be calm.
The time came in a flash, and at the last second, the village chief spoke: "It seems that this white girl has misunderstood us a lot, please go back, I will help her treat Chen Mu and bring her back to the village after you leave." ”
Although a few villagers didn't want to leave, they all left one after another under the pull of Chen's father and Chen's mother.
Half an hour later, Bai Yun inspected the surroundings and doubled the expansion of the ice wall surrounding the village chief, encircling her and Chen Mu.
"The 'real wood body' you just called me was deliberately said to me, and the villagers were obviously not surprised by the appearance of these three people. Now no one can hear what we say, so please tell us. Bai Wan looked around and said softly.
"The White Maiden is indeed a wise and brave person, the history of the human beard station is true, and the ending is not that our water mirror clan wins, but that we are completely enslaved by that beard, which is the final form of the ancient curse. As he spoke, he pointed to the three wooden men.
"It's a good thing you pierced their heads, if it were somewhere else, they wouldn't have died. The dead and wounded of the high-ranking monks after that big station, the living were all controlled by the roots of the king, and the ordinary people did not know, they celebrated happily, until half a year later, only one of all the twin babies was human, and the other was all wood, except for the skin. This wooden baby not only shares the brain with humans, but also its flesh and blood, internal organs, and the energy needed for activities all share with humans. What a vicious curse it is, it could even be said that the wooden man shared the soul of a human being......" the village chief cried as he spoke.
"So in addition to his brother's control, that wooden man also has a high-level master root?" Bai Wan asked in surprise.
"Yes, White Maiden, that bearded demon absorbs the power of the origin of the twin humans through these wooden people, and this is the reason for the complete decline of our race. Many years after that great battle, a high-ranking cultivator who had returned to the city from a retreat in the mountains discovered the suspicion of those wooden monks, and he cut off a small piece of the roots of the ancient monarch tree, and led the ancestors of our village to this unknown lake, where they lived in complete seclusion, including the true scholar who witnessed all this. ”
"Since your ancestors have all run out, where did the wooden figures in the sacrificial room come from?" Bai Wan then asked, there were so many questions she wanted to ask.
"Although they ran out, the ancient curse of our ancestors did not disappear, and the children born to the women of the village were still twin human wood bodies. The single senior who took us away found a way to break the curse by studying a severed beard of the **, but this supreme gift of twins must be abandoned. ”
"What's the solution?" Bai Wan knew that he was about to get to the point.
Although the mystery of the birth of the wooden baby could not be solved, the wooden baby was a piece of wood without energy supply, and was finally thrown into the fire and burned completely. ”
"Alas, until my generation, the soul mark that should have been lifted appeared again, those wooden babies have the same energy supply as human babies grow and age, and even the special surnames of our twin bodies that do not affect each other have also been changed, and once the wooden body dies, the human body will be greatly damaged, and even have the worry of the surname. This is the real reason why they were kept in the sacrificial room. After speaking, the old village chief took a few deep breaths, he hadn't said so much for a long time.
"It seems that the three people who attacked me were wooden people who had only recently awakened?" Bai Wan asked, looking at the wooden man lying on the ground.
"Yes. Due to the manifestation of the soul seal, many villagers recently walked into the sacrificial room in the middle of the night and came out again the next morning. Everyone is the same race, and they can only get along with each other as usual, and no one is taboo about anything, but for some reason they will suddenly attack you. The village chief replied with a frown.
"Then it depends on your purpose for looking for Chen Mu!" Bai Yun's eyes sharpened, waiting for the village chief's answer.
