The night is getting darker, and the atmosphere among the recruits who are washing up in the dormitory is depressing and silent. They are not as energetic as they were when they first entered the training camp in the morning, as if they are worried about something.
"What do you think?" The recruit beside him rolled his eyes and pointed to the roof of the dormitory building opposite.
Under the moonlight, endless spider silk covered the floors. A huge and ferocious human-faced spider was quietly crawling high in the sky. Its scarlet compound eyes were always staring at the recruits at its feet, which was terrifying.
The recruit who asked the question couldn't help but swallow.
"But didn't he say that formal training won't start until tomorrow?"
"Yes, otherwise the spider wouldn't just look at us, but jump down and chase us."
"Isn't this too outrageous? Is it really so cruel?"
"I don't believe it. It's probably the same as the previous assessment. They rely on creating this tense atmosphere to squeeze our potential.
"I also feel that no night watchman trains new recruits in this way."
"..."
Among the chattering crowd, Fang Mo calmly put down the toothbrush in his hand, put the towel on his shoulder, and walked towards the dormitory without saying a word.
At this moment, his steps stopped, as if he sensed something, and he suddenly turned his head to look downstairs.
A dark red figure flashed past quietly.
Fang Mo's eyes gradually lit up!
…
"Nanaye-sama!"
A few minutes later, Fang Mo, wearing a recruit's uniform, quickly ran to the shadows at the edge of the dormitory building and spoke excitedly.
Lin Qiye turned around helplessly and made a silent gesture towards him.
"Keep your voice down, no one else will see you coming, right?"
"No, Master Qiye."
"Well, come with me."
Lin Qiye and Fang Mo quietly walked through most of the training camp, arrived at the top of the teaching building, and sat down on the edge of the roof.
"Sit down, there are some things I want to talk to you about." Lin Qiye patted his side and smiled.
Fang Mo nodded and sat down next to Lin Qiye with some restraint.
"Lord Qiye, if you have anything you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know," Fang Mo said sincerely.
"No need to be so formal." Lin Qiye was a little embarrassed by Fang Mo, "I just want to ask, how did you leave Cangnan, and how did you join Yang Jian's family? Have you entered the heaven?"
There were too many mysteries surrounding Fang Mo, and they all involved Daxia's secrets. Lin Qiye would naturally be a little curious.
Of course, what he wanted to ask most was actually the current situation in heaven.
After all, the state of Heaven will directly determine Daxia's status and final outcome in this war.
Fang Mo hummed and pondered for a moment, seeming to be thinking about where to start.
"Five years ago, Master Qiye left Cangnan. After the miracle dissipated, all of us children born in Cangnan within ten years were gathered in the same place and prepared to be dispersed to different orphanages for adoption... We didn't know those people at that time
, I recently learned that those wearing dark red cloaks who help us find our home are the night watchmen.
The night before leaving Cangnan, a gust of wind suddenly blew up where we children lived, and then a frail man and a Taoist priest with an immortal style came out of the wind.
That man is my later master, Yang Jian." When Lin Qiye heard the word "Taoist", his mind unconsciously thought of the mysterious Taoist priest who had appeared in his fantasy and met in Fengdu, that is,
One of the Three Pure Ones in Daxia mythology, Yuanshi Tianzun.
The man beside him is Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun, Yang Jian... But why is Yang Jian weak?
Who was he injured by?
Fang Mo paused and continued, "That night, the master and the Taoist priests selected the twelve children with the strongest miraculous power in their bodies among us children left in Cangnan, and took them away from Cangnan. I
He was the first to be chosen among the twelve children."
"Twelve children?" Lin Qiye was stunned, "In other words, there are eleven more like you?"
"That's right." Fang Mo nodded, "After we left Cangnan, we rode in the clouds and came to an unfamiliar mountain range. Between the mountains, I could vaguely see a huge golden afterimage, and there were also blurry ones.
The shadows were flying around in the golden afterimage.
The master opened a cave for us on a mountain near the golden afterimage and let us live there."
"What does that golden afterimage look like?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask.
Fang Mo thought for a moment, "It looked like... a broken palace? It was too far away at the time, and there was some mist surrounding the afterimage, so we couldn't see what was inside at all."
Lin Qiye was thoughtful.
If nothing unexpected happens, it is the Heavenly Palace that the Great Xia God has been working hard to repair... But the question is, why did Yang Jian and Yuanshi Tianzun bring these twelve children to the vicinity of the Heavenly Palace and specially built a cave.
Let them stay?
"So, you all joined Yang Jian's sect?"
"No, it's not." Fang Mo shook his head, "The night we arrived, twelve Great Xia gods flew out of the golden afterimage and came to the cave where we were sitting. Each of them chose a child and gave it to him.
Accepted as heir.
I was the child chosen by the master at that time."
After hearing this, Lin Qiye roughly understood.
These twelve children were selected by Yuanshi Tianzun from the remnants of Cangnan to be chosen as successors by the awakened God of Great Xia. Of course, in the words of the night watchman, these twelve children are all agents of the God of Great Xia.
.
Judging from the timeline, the gods of Great Xia had not completely closed themselves off at that time and focused on restoring the origin of heaven. Accepting these twelve children as their agents should be the last thing they did before closing down.
They know very well that once they start to repair the origin of Heaven, they must not interrupt it, so to be on the safe side, they accept these children as disciples in advance. If everything goes well, when they repair the origin of Heaven, these children can also serve as agents to protect them.
Daxia, if something goes wrong in this process, these children will become their inheritors.
Twelve Cangnan survivors, twelve children, twelve agents of the Great Xia God.
This was a seed that was planted five years ago.
At this moment, Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something.
"You are all children born in those ten years. In other words, your oldest should only be fifteen years old now?" Lin Qiye looked at the boy in front of him in surprise, "You..."
"I am seventeen this year." Fang Mo smiled, "After the master woke up, he took us into a mysterious space. The flow of time is different from the outside world. We have practiced there for three years, and only one year has passed in the outside world...
…
And I am the first one out of twelve brothers and sisters."
