Zhu Xian

Chapter 7 Legend

Qilidong, Miao people's altar.

Last night's big fight did not seem to affect the quiet atmosphere here. Under the leadership of the young wizard, Gui Li and Xiao Bai walked silently in the altar. Xiaohui, who was lying on Gui Li's shoulder, seemed to be much quieter at this moment, as if the calm atmosphere around him made him honest.

Before passing through the long corridor to the stone house in the depths of the altar, the young wizard nodded slightly and did not say anything to them. He turned around and left. After a moment, he was immersed in the darkness.

Around, only the two of them are left. Gui Li and Xiao Bai looked at each other, and Gui Li said lightly, "Let's go in!"

Xiaobai nodded and agreed, and the two walked in together.

It is still very dark in this room, and there is still a pile of flames burning in the depths of the front. In front of the flames, there is still a rickeping figure sitting with his back to them.

In this familiar scene, in a trance, what happened last night seemed to be unreal. Maybe it was just a dream...

A slight cough sounded on the old man. His back under the firelight trembled violently, breaking the silence here and bringing people back to reality.

"You're here," the wizard slowly said in a hoarse voice after the coughing stopped, "Come here!"

Gui Li and Xiao Bai walked behind him and sat down quietly. In front of this thin old man, somehow, both of them didn't know what to say.

The great wizard seemed to sigh gently and said, "My people were rude to you just now. Don't be surprised."

Gui Li nodded slightly and said, "I dare not."

The wizard coughed twice again, but was silent and said nothing more. Gui Li and Xiao Bai had to wait patiently. Unexpectedly, for a long time, the big wizard seemed to be asleep, motionless and did not respond at all.

Gui Li's heart became more and more anxious. First, he didn't know what the big wizard was thinking. Second, there was a sudden disturbance last night, which made him almost regret his whole life. In case he missed Biyao because of himself, he would really die.

At this moment, after waiting for a long time, the big wizard still didn't seem to speak. Xiao Bai next to him was patient and was not in a hurry at all, but Xiaohui was already impatient. Monkeys are playful. At this moment, they can't stand the solemn atmosphere here. They grabbed it, slipped around, and slipped away from the ghost.

Ghost Li was so anxious that he really didn't want to delay any longer. He immediately said, "Senior, the one I asked you..."

Before the word "thing" was spoken, the wizard suddenly interrupted and said, "Young man, let me tell you a story!"

Gui Li was stunned and looked at Xiao Bai next to him, but saw that she also frowned, and her eyes were confused. Obviously, she didn't know what the old man was thinking. It's just that at this moment, after all, Gui Li had to sigh in his heart, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said patiently, "Senior, please say it!"

With a hoarse voice, the great wizard sounded faintly in the depths of this dark altar, as if thousands of years had passed, and then quietly turned around at this moment...

"Our southern Xinjiang is located in the vast south of China, which has never been as prosperous as Middle-earth, but it has its own unique origin..."

Gui Li nodded silently. The unique customs here in southern Xinjiang are indeed different from those in Middle-earth.

"Now everyone in the world knows that there are five ethnic groups standing side by side here in southern Xinjiang, living together on this land. But in fact, a long time ago, the five ethnic groups of Miao, Li, Zhuang, Tu and Gaoshan were actually the same ancient clan, called "Witch".

Gui Li and Xiao Bai are both stunned. Not to mention that Gui Li has never heard of these things, but Xiao Bai has no impression.

The back of the great wizard, reflected a slightly twisted shadow by the burning flame, is reflected on the ground, in his voice, and at the same time, the crackling "cracking" of the firewood in the flame

The voice is quiet, with the vicissitudes of the past.

"It is said that in ancient times, the ancient witches operated the southern frontier, and their power was strong. Among them, there were aliens with profound witchpowers in the clan. Among them, each generation of witches who served witches, and witchcraft was the most powerful."

"The so-called witch is to select a ** with the highest talent and spiritual power from each generation of the ancient witches, serve the witch gods in the altar, study witchcraft, and lead all witches. This kind of life has been passed for many years, many years..."

Gui Li and Xiao Bai both looked up slightly. They are all smart people. At this moment, they all know the key point of what the great wizard said, and they are about to come out. At this moment, Xiaohui doesn't know where he has quietly touched in the dark.

"However, in the third year of the succession of the eleventh generation of witches of the ancient witches, a sudden change occurred in the 100,000 mountains on the southern border." The voice of the great wizard was still hoarse, but his tone was quietly raised, as if the faint excitement in his heart was slowly emerging.

"In the 100,000 mountains, there was a monster known as the "Beast God". No one knows the origin of the monster, as if he appeared in the dangerous and vicious 100,000 mountains out of thin air."

"At first, no one noticed the existence of the monster, but gradually, the ancestors of the witch clan felt the mutation. Although the rolling mountains of 100,000 mountains are steep, the forests are lush and there are many animals. The smart hunters of the witch clan can always enter the hunting. But from that time on, a vicious miasma suddenly appeared in the hundreds of thousands of mountains. When people took a sip, their whole body festered and died. What's more strange is that the original normal beasts have also undergone strange changes one after another. Some of the monsters that have become beast heads and human beings are extremely ferocious. They kill when they see people, and divide the corpses and eat them. It is creepy. Among the witch clan, people are panicked for a moment.

Gui Li and Xiao Bai couldn't help looking at each other again. What the big wizard said was really strange and unheard of.

The great wizard paused for a while, as if he was also immersed in the past that had been annihilated in ancient history. After a while, he slowly continued: "At that time, the witch gathered the wizard leaders of the clan to discuss, and finally sent a team of tough warriors led by three wizards to hundreds of mountains to check. Something strange happened in the end, which caused poisonous miasma and animal mutation in the mountains.

But on the tenth day after the team entered the mountain, only the leading wizard with the strongest magic power escaped, and his whole body was ulcerated. It was still ineffective under the witch's full treatment. Finally, when he was dying, he said the word "beast demon" and died like this!

"Beast demon..." Gui Li and Xiao Bai slowly read the name in their hearts.

"From this time on, the ancestors of the witch clan finally knew that a monster had appeared in the 100,000 mountains. Later, after paying the lives of many warriors, he gradually realized that this monster suddenly appeared in a hundred thousand mountains, with incredible strange powers. Under his demon method, the originally lush mountains of forests became barren mountains. The clear rivers were full of venom, and there were poisonous miasma everywhere. And all kinds of original animals in the forest were also turned into monsters by him with demon methods, and turned into all kinds of monsters such as bear man, tiger man, leopard man, werewolf man and so on. They cannibal and terrible..."

The corners of the ghost's mouth suddenly twitched and said, "Is there a fishman among them?"

The back of the great wizard shook, and he was silent for a moment. He seemed to be thinking about something, and then nodded slowly and said, "Yes, it is said that there are indeed such a fishman among the vicious barbarians in the 100,000 mountains. What, do you..."

Gui Li pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Yes, I have seen such a fish-headed monster in the Western Everglades."

The big wizard's body shook, and finally he couldn't stand it. Huo Di turned his head, and the firelight shone on his wrinkles, like the deep rings carved by the years, and his voice was hoarse at this moment: "You, did you really see these monsters?"

Gui Li was silent but affirmed and nodded.

The wizard's face turned white, and he said, "It appeared, finally appeared, God! God's will... But why did they appear in the West? At the entrance of 100,000 mountains, isn't there a monastic incense valley guarding..."

On his old face, sometimes he was afraid, sometimes confused, and his expression kept changing, and he seemed to be out of his mind.

Gui Li stretched out his hand and gently patted the old man on the shoulder.

The big wizard shook his body, as if he had suddenly woken up. Looking at the ghost, he gradually calmed down, and then turned his head again and faced the flames.

"I, let's go on! Anyway, if it is God's will, we mortals can't do anything.

In his voice, it seemed to be a little more desolate: "After knowing the monster, the witch people never lived a stable day, and as the time deepened, the monsters under the beast demon began to gradually come beyond 100,000 mountains. In this way, the news of the murder of the clan has been constantly spreading from all over the country, and the number of people is increasing, which is really panicked. In the end, the ordinary witch people even began to abandon their homes and desperately migrate to the north. Seeing that if it goes on like this, the whole witch will be destroyed.

"The witches of that generation originally wanted to ask more about this monster, and then discuss how to remove this monster. But at that time, the witch clan was indignant, and the situation was really at the most critical moment. She finally decided to gather all the wizards and warriors in the witch clan to fight against this unrivaled monster and fight with him to save the witch clan.

" Unexpectedly, on the night that the witch made this decision, the beast demon actually led his countless demons to suddenly kill from 100,000 mountains and directly to the place where the ancient witch altar was located. The witch altar is the place where the witch people sacrifice to the witch god. It has always been the lifeblood of the clan and is sacred and inviolable. That night, it can be said that all the people of the witch clan, whether men or women, or even older children, rushed to the battlefield and fought with those fierce demons!"

The voice of the big wizard stopped gently at this point, while Gui Li and Xiao Bai held their breath. The bloody killing in ancient times, as if in the darkness around, in the words of the great wizard's desolate vicissitudes, once again, quietly emerged.

"That fierce war is by no means what we can imagine. What our Miao ancestors have handed down from generation to generation is just the scales and claws depict the war. In a word, after the blood stained all the land under its feet, and after countless witch warriors died with their bodies with demons, the beast demon finally rushed into the witch altar last guarded by the witch goddess with some demons. And outside the altar, it is still killing..."

"It's just that the great witch god has finally begun to protect his people at this moment, and that generation of witches is recognized as the strongest witchcraft in all generations. After a earth-shaking fight, the beast demon and his powerful demons were finally trapped by the "Eight Fierce Mysterious Fire Array" handed down by the ancient witch gods in the altar...

"What?" Gui Li and Xiao Bai suddenly lost their voice at the same time.

The wizard looked back at them strangely and said, "Eight Evil Mysterious Fire Array", what's wrong?"

Gui Li and Xiao Bai looked at each other, were silent for a moment, and said, "This name is quite strange."

The great wizard sighed and said, "This magic array is handed down by the ancient witch gods. It is launched with the strange treasure of the essence of fire, Xuanhuojian, which is the most powerful. In those years, even if it was a beast demon who understood the sky, it was trapped in this magic array. The morale of the witch people was greatly shaken, and those monsters were in chaos and were finally gradually repelled.

"It's just that although the "eight fierce mysterious fire array" has boundless mana power, the power of the beast demon is really not small. It can actually be burned by the eight wild fire dragons day and night. Although he was seriously injured, he still survived and confronted the witch. At that time, in the whole altar, because the magic circle itself was too strong, the wizards of other clans could not get close to help. Only the witch girl supported the big magic circle alone with her own witch power. After three days and three nights, when almost all the witch people were crazy about it, the beast demon broke through the array.

"However, although the beast demon escaped, he was already dying by the magic circle. He no longer dared to stay for a moment and flew directly back to the nest in the 100,000 mountains. When everyone rushed to the altar, the witch was also exhausted and almost exhausted. It's just that the witch is really an admirable person. After a day's rest, she decided to enter 100,000 mountains alone to remove the beast demon. Because if the beast demon recovers, I'm afraid that the end of the witch will really come.

Xiaobai sighed gently and said, "This witch is really a heroine, Bodhisattva's heart, so sacrifice herself for others!"

The great wizard said lightly, "We don't believe in Bodhisattva here in southern Xinjiang."

Xiao Bai smiled and didn't say anything.

The wizard continued: "At that time, none of the witches agreed with the witch's behavior. Everyone knew that she would never come back. But the witch was determined and finally went, but accompanied by the seven bravest warriors of the witch clan. The eight of them entered the vicious 100,000 mountains in this way.

"They cut through the thorns all the way. I don't know how many monsters they killed, and finally came to the ancient cave where the beast demon lived on the sixth day. At this moment, the witch made an unexpected decision. She asked the other seven people to wait outside the cave, and she was the only one who entered the ancient cave.

The seven warriors naturally refused, but the witch was extremely determined, and she said frankly that it would not be useless for them to go in, but would drag her down. In the end, the seven warriors had to agree.

"After the witch entered the ancient cave, there was no news. The seven warriors waited outside the ancient cave for two days and nights. Finally, two people couldn't stand it and rushed into the ancient cave to find the witch, but the other five thought that they should continue to wait and obey the order of the witch.

The seven warriors quarreled with each other in this way. In the end, the two warriors still entered the ancient cave, and they had no news from now on.

"In this way, until the fifth day, when the remaining five warriors were gradually losing confidence, the witch miraculously staggered out of the ancient cave. At that time, the lady had completely lost blood and her face was pale and scary. But the five warriors were overjoyed and didn't notice this at all. The witch summoned the five warriors to her, gave each of them a glittering artifact full of strange witchcraft power, and told them that these five sacred artifacts were refined with her body after she removed the beast demon. But the beast demon is a world-class demon transformed by the fierce spirit between heaven and earth. Although the body is destroyed, the soul is not scattered.

"The five warriors were shocked, and the witch said again, as long as these five sacred artifacts do not return to this ancient cave, the beast demon will never come back to life! After saying that, her body trembled, and suddenly her seven orifices were bleeding. The five warriors were shocked, and the witchess exhausted her last strength and told them to ask the witch clan to protect these five sacred artifacts forever, and never let the beast demon come back to life, otherwise, it would be the witch clan and the end of the world. And she herself will stay outside this ancient cave forever, suppress all evils with her soul, and lock them in the ancient cave. After barely saying this, the witch couldn't stand it any longer and stood up. After a moment, her body turned into a stone statue facing the depths of the ancient cave!"

The voice of the big wizard slowly sank.

In the firelight, everyone's faces were a little strange, with an indescribable look. For a long time, Xiao Bai took a long breath and said, "What a mother! But the great wizard, why did you tell us this story?

The back of the great wizard seems to be bent by an invisible burden, which is very desolate. He did not answer Xiaobai's question. Instead, he took care of himself and continued: "After the five warriors cried bitterly and sadly, they returned to the witch clan. Although the witch died unfortunately, the beast demon, the unprecedented enemy of the witch clan, was finally suppressed in the ancient cave. In addition to the sadness of the witch people, there were also A little happy and happy. However, at this time, the five warriors, who were highly prestigious because of the return of demon removal, fought with each other because they were fighting for the leadership position in the witch clan.

"The most unfortunate thing is that every generation of witches in the witch clan was designated by the previous generation of witches, but this generation of ladies did not leave any instructions, and all five warriors forgot to ask this question at that time. In this way, the witch clan, which had always been prosperous and strong, gradually split under the quarrel of the five warriors, and the people also supported one of them. Finally, it gradually split into the Miao, Li, Zhuang, Tu and Gaoshan ethnic groups in the southern border, and the five key sacred artifacts were also under the control of the five ethnic groups.

When this ancient but thrilling story finally came to an end, Gui Li took a deep breath, looked at the back of the big wizard, and said slowly, "Senior, after you have said so much, do you want me to help find the sacred artifact of the Miao people?"
