Volume 2: Rising Clouds Chapter 140: Secret
It's a story from a long time ago, so far back that ...... No one remembers the exact time anymore.
Legend has it that there was an ancient tribe, few but powerful, guarding a mysterious seal, relying on a tree of life, passed down from generation to generation and following a mission.
Each generation, the tribe selects three of its strongest young men to receive the Chosen Gift and become the patron saints of the tribe, continuing their mission for countless years.
Descendants will take over the responsibility of their ancestors from the long river of history and put it on their shoulders, move forward with heavy burdens, and never change their original intentions.
This attachment continued until a certain generation, and it still went wrong.
At that time, the three "Chosen People" were the most talented and perceptive geniuses in the history of the tribe, they were high-spirited, full of responsibility, self-denial and courtesy, not arrogant or impatient, and had a bright future, and were praised by countless people.
However, all that changed after an accident.
The small spirit realm where this ancient clan is located has been wandering in the space gap outside the ancient continent, and it is basically difficult for anyone to discover its existence. However, 10,000 years ago, the battle for the heavens broke out, and the gods descended on the earth, and a battle was fought until the sky fell apart, and naturally forced out the small spirit realm hidden in the cracks of space.
At that time, the people of this ancient race did not know that there was a battle to seize the heavens in the outside world, and in order to protect the small spirit realm, they only negotiated with the people of the outside world kindly, and did not want to meddle in the world.
However, contrary to expectations, novelties from the outside world continued to spread among the clan like a virus, and many people began to have a vision of the outside world, including the three chosen ones.
couldn't suppress their curiosity about the outside world, and the three of them finally set foot in the outside world and entered the red dust.
The three of them, who have always been simple and honest, can have the scheming of those people in the outside world, and the three of them go their own way, all the way, originally just made an appointment to see the scenery, but they didn't know that this was goodbye.
When the strongest of them left, the ancient tribe had no protection, and at the beginning, everyone's goal was to recruit the three chosen ones, and no one cared about their tribe. But by chance, a seriously injured and dying man received help from the people of the clan, and he was undoubtedly dead and miraculously recovered, and he also improved slightly, which immediately attracted the attention of people with a heart.
And this person who was originally a member of the "gods" side, after recovering, unintentionally revealed the matter, which immediately attracted the attention of the gods.
The gods easily snooped on everything he knew, and the gods immediately paid attention to this tribe, and directly descended to the small spirit realm to spy on the secrets of this tribe.
Immediately, in this small spiritual realm, the gods discovered a treasure that existed in the illusory world, that is, the tree of life.
You must know that the battle for the heavens has caused countless casualties to both humans and gods, and now that there is a heavy treasure that can be born against the sky, how can others deal with it calmly under the lust for profit.
The existence of the Tree of Life was coveted, and the gods came here to seize it.
The catastrophe struck, and the tribe that did not have the existence of the Chosen One was of course destroyed without any resistance, and suffered heavy casualties.
When the gods thought that they were about to seize the Tree of Life, they were surprised to find that those who had already died were resurrected one after another, and they were getting stronger and stronger.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, everyone suddenly discovered that there was an extra person on the side of the gods, and that person was one of their chosen sons and the first betrayer to appear in the endless years of the tribe, whose name was "Yue".
During the campaign, the tribal talents discovered that the original "Yue" Tianzhong talent had already secretly left the small spirit realm, and also established his own power in the outside world, and proclaimed himself the "Tsar".
At this time, the other two still knew nothing about this matter, and the Tsar "Yue" did not miss the old feelings, and was willing to become the minions of the gods, and personally carried out a purge of his tribe.
The Tsar, who knew the subtle connection between the tribe and the tree of life, easily killed countless people, led the gods to open the seal of the tribe's protection of endless years, and came to the illusory realm, to the front of the tree of life.
In front of the heavy treasure, the camp of the gods was strong and wanted to take away the tree of life, but what they didn't expect was that when they arrived in the illusory world, both humans and gods began to go crazy, and a dark and terrifying power poured out from under the tree of life, devouring everyone and gods in an instant, and the only person who escaped was only "Yue" alone.
The paper couldn't hold the fire, and the news came out quickly, and when the other two people who were still in the outside world hurried back to the Little Spirit Realm, it was too late.
The seal was broken, the mission of the clan was shattered, and the death of their compatriots gave birth to endless remorse in the hearts of the two people, almost madness.
However, this did not help, seeing the darkness constantly overflowing under the tree of life, the two of them weighed and finally chose to continue to perform their duties, using the supreme forbidden art of the tribe to awaken the ancient power and jointly suppress the power of darkness.
Even if this kind of secret technique requires the concerted efforts of three people to perform, two people can't care about it, so they launched the forbidden art at a great cost, and with the power of the ancient heroic soul, they want to seal the darkness again.
But it's so simple, this force is so terrifying that even the gods can't resist it, how can the two of them do it?
So in the end, even if it can have a slight effect, it is just a drop in the bucket, and the two of them are also on the verge of running out of oil. Book bar
Just when they were desperate, the gods of the initiator came again, and the betrayer "Yue" was among them, and they took advantage of the sacrifice of the two and combined the power of the gods to beat the power of darkness back and seal it again.
At this time, they also realized that this power did not belong to any known place in the world, but was a force from a new unknown world, and the gods could not fight it at all, so they had no choice but to seal it again.
Not only that, in order to prevent their revenge and the resurgence of darkness, the gods actually split the small spirit realm in two, separated the void and the reality, and sealed them together in the illusory realm.
Not only that, but it also left a curse on the tree of life, stripping them of their blood and power, and turning them into the animals they are today.
The gods are ruthless, and the betrayer "Yue" naturally has no good end, and is also abandoned by the gods. When he returned to his kingdom, he found that he had also been affected by a curse, and in order to survive, he returned to the small spirit realm to find a way to survive.
But the small spirit realm was divided into two, and the gods were sealed in front of him, and he could only watch himself become like that and could not do anything. And the "mirror" and "er" in the seal can only rely on the power of the tree of life to survive, and naturally there is no mercy for "Yue".
I thought that countless years had passed, and he would have died without the help of the Tree of Life, but now he is still alive.
Yue Dongxue and Xia Ling listened to the secrets of the "mirror" and were silent for a long time.
These things are too shocking, and they are not the same as what "Yue" said, and if you think about it carefully, there are indeed many loopholes in what "Yue" said.
"Now, you know why I know I'm going to react so much if I'm still alive, right?"
When "Mirror" said this, there was only endless sadness and self-deprecation in his heart, which made people feel a kind of empathy.
Xia Ling nodded lightly, clasped her hands to her chest thoughtfully, and slowly spoke: "So what do you mean, you and Yue, and that Er, the three of you are the three chosen ones of the ancient clan, and the Tsar Mausoleum that Yue said is also fake?"
Jing Wensheng shook his head and said: "I don't know, neither I nor Er can leave here, and I don't know that Yue is still alive, and I don't know what he said to you, but Yue is the Tsar, this is a fact." ”
Yue Dongxue also asked at this time: "Since you said that you and Er should be a united front, why are you and him like enemies just now?"
What Yue Dongxue said just now, it was naturally time in the passage, although some time had passed.
"Jing" also understood his doubts, and continued to smile bitterly: "We are indeed close friends, but countless years have passed, we are trapped in this dark place, I have already looked down on everything in the outside world, I just want to stay here quietly, looking at this seal." ”
"But Er is different from me, after so many years, he has not forgotten that hatred at all, and he is not willing to stay here and wait for death endlessly, so naturally there is a disagreement between us. And over the years, there have been some people who, like you, have unintentionally fallen into the cage of heaven, and with the help of me and you, some of them have also survived and are now gathered around you. ”
"Those of them are not willing to spend the rest of their lives here, so they have been preparing to try to break the seal and leave this world. I know that you will be like that, I can understand it, I just want to know more about the situation of Yue so I brought you here, and when I am done, I will send you to your side. ”
After listening to the mirror, Yue Dongxue's eyes were like torches, and she said aggressively: "Don't you want to leave here?"
Jing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Why, why don't you want to?" I have thought about leaving this ghost place countless times, but what if I leave, my family and compatriots have already died, I am just a lonely ghost, what difference is there there, not to mention that the seal here is too terrifying, and someone needs to watch." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the two leaves sticking out of the hut, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"And there are many more like the monster that hunted you before, and I can't leave them. ”
The words "mirror" were suddenly inexplicable, which made Yue Dongxue and Xia Ling a little confused, so Xia Ling took the lead and said, "What do you mean?"
"Mirror" replied, "Because those monsters are all my people, they are all victims of the combination of God's curse and the power of darkness, how can I leave them." ”
Yue Dongxue also took over and said, "If everything is as you say, then what is the end of the road to heaven, why do you want to deceive us to go." ”
"What are you talking about?" As soon as Yue Dongxue's words fell, "Mirror" immediately stood up in disbelief, and touched the empty cups on the table to the ground, as if he still couldn't believe it.
"You mean, Yue took people to the end of the road to heaven?"
"Hmm!" Yue Dongxue and Xia Ling nodded together.
"Mirror" confirmed that the two were not lying, and suddenly turned his head to the sky and shouted.
"Er, something big is wrong, come to me quickly. ”
