Wu frowned and pondered, and only after a while did he consider his words and speak: "Ancient books record that the dead clansmen are put into the mother river of reincarnation, and after a while, the clansmen will be reborn. ”

However, later there seemed to be some changes in the mother river, and the newly returned clansmen did not have complete memories, did not have the wisdom to open, and only knew about killing, so they were called the fallen tribesmen, also called the degenerates. ”

Qin Shu's heart moved slightly, reincarnation mother river, that strange long river full of white bones?

For a while, he thought a lot, the original so-called reincarnation meaning is reflected here, these skeletons in the netherworld cannot reproduce, so they use that long river instead of reproduction.

As for the skeletons at the end of the long river, they are just failures under reincarnation.

In order to pass the assessment, Wu said more, and even some secrets that even Jiao Wang and Ji Ya did not know.

"When Your Excellency came, you should have seen the Mother River of Samsara and saw the white bones on it? It was not like this before, the water of the Mother River was crystal clear, and the dead people sank to the bottom of the lake, and they could be reborn and return after three or five days. ”

Qin Shu nodded slightly, he would go and find out what the long river was.

"After something goes wrong with the mother river of reincarnation, how do you ensure that the population in the city is not lost?" Looking at the white bones on the mother river of reincarnation, it is obvious that the days when the mother river has problems are not short, only death is not born, why is there such a number of skeletons in this Ji city?

"Perpetuate with the soul fire of the fallen, or with the soul fire of other races. Wu was a little helpless and explained slowly.

Under his explanation, Qin Shu understood the truth.

Just as the King of Bone City did, the people of Himejo often went to fight on the Mother River of Samsara to bring back Moribai's head and the soul fire born in it.

They used the soul fire to turn the heads into skeletons, and these newborn skeletons were the kind that were not mentally perfect, and they annihilated the soul fire of these newborn skeletons.

Then use the fire of the Jicheng people's own soul to ignite the skeleton's eye sockets, and the skeletons born in this way are the new generation of the Jicheng people.

In Wu's mouth, Qin Shu learned that the skeletons in Ji Cheng also have a husband and wife, and when the male and female skeletons want to have children, the male skeletons join the army and bring back the necessary head and soul fire, and the female skeletons ignite the eye sockets of the annihilated degenerate.

And the new generation born in this way is the child of this skeleton couple.

"What do you think of such a method?" Rao is Qin Shu couldn't help but be surprised that such a method was simply imaginative.

"Nope. Wu was a little dazed, "This is the instruction of the ancestors. ”

"Huh?" Qin Shu was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"That was a long time ago, although there was a problem with the mother river, we still sent the dead people to the mother river of reincarnation according to the ancestral system, hoping that the mother river would return to normal. ”

"One of the clansmen accidentally fell, and a little spilling soul fire fell into the empty eye sockets of a dead clansman, and the body of the dead clansman was given a new life. ”

"Later, we slowly experimented like this, and finally settled on this way. ”

"......" Qin Shu didn't know whether to say that the people of Jicheng were lucky, or whether to say that they were unlucky.

After thinking about it, Qin Shu asked again: "What about you, how did you come here?" Wu's flesh-and-blood appearance didn't look like he could just ignite the soul fire.

Wu was slightly stunned, a little surprised that Qin Shu asked this question, this is a secret belonging to all clans, but in order to be able to pass the review, Wu told the truth.

"As Your Excellency said, Jicheng belongs to the descendants of the ancient clan Xuanyuan, and there is a totem fire in the city, and every newborn Jicheng person will be sent to the totem fire to be baptized. “

"Those who resonate strongly with the fire of the totem will succeed to the throne and become a witch!"

Such a secret sin seemed to be unclear even to Jiao Wang and Ji Ya, and they were shocked when they heard this: "Wu, this is ...... How did we not know there was such a thing?"

Wu was a little helpless, "Wu is the most important thing in a city, and the totem fires of all races that can give birth to Wu are all top secrets, so naturally they will not let many people know." ”

"But we haven't seen the totem fire. Ji Ya was stunned for a moment, and spit out the doubts in her heart.

"That was when you were born and the soul fire was not fully ignited, so you were sent to the location of the totem fire, and when the soul fire was not born, your mind was not complete, so naturally you will not remember the events of that time. ”

"Can I go and see your totem fire?" Qin Shu on the side spoke.

Wu was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "All Saints City is not an outsider, so you can naturally go and see it." ”

Immediately, his voice paused slightly, and he said: "I read that the ancient books say that the main veins of all races live in the Holy City, and there is also my Xuanyuan clan among them, I don't know if it's true?"

Qin Shu's soul fire fluctuated slightly, and he said in his heart: Who do you ask me and I ask?

However, there was no trace on his face, "Naturally, it is true, the location of the cities of each clan was told to me by the main vein of your various clans living in the Holy City. ”

Wu was excited, "Sure enough, it's true, then Your Excellency is not an outsider!"

What is the main vein? It is the descendants of the ancestor of this clan that can be called the main vein.

"It's easy to say, the main lineages of all the clans in the Holy City have not forgotten you and others, and all of them have such an assessment. Qin Shu smiled, and the words he said burst into tears.

The totem fire was heavily protected by the witches of the past dynasties, and when he arrived at that airtight house, Qin Shu understood what the stone houses and ancient castles that he had seen before were doing without windows and sealing well.

They are all buildings that preserve the totem fire, no wonder the city was destroyed, these stone houses and castles are still there, after all, the most important totem fire location of the clan.

The stone house was still dark, and several people came to the stone bed where Wu was lying before, and when Wu stomped his feet, the whole stone house trembled.

Immediately, the stone bed was lifted into the air, revealing a deep dark square hole below.

"Please. After saying to Qin Shu, Wu Dang went down first, and then Jiao Wang and Ji Ya also went down, they were also curious, they had been the commander for so many years, and the totem fire had not yet been seen.

Qin Shu and Wu Ying also went down, and it is estimated that it took a lot of manpower to dig out this deep cave, and there were layers of stone steps from the entrance of the cave to the bottom of the cave.

The cavern was so large that it looked like an ancient castle, and it was only when there was a faint dampness on the walls around it that the witch who led the way stopped.

"It's here. Wu spoke, and his voice echoed through the deep hole.

Qin Shu's feet fell to the ground, a little surprised, and when he looked down, there was actually a layer of stone slabs under his feet, which isolated the moisture.

And the walls around the bottom of this deep cave are also piled up with stones.

Directly ahead, Wu stood there.

"Look, this is the totem of my clan!"
