Hey, there are seeds in the belly of this fish. Put it on the fire and grill it, and it will taste delicious!
He expressed his disgust with his actions. Dong Rui was furious, but he had no choice but to find grass blades after the meal, made himself a mask and put it on, finally covering the lower half of his face.
As soon as they finished eating, Zhu Erniang came.
He Lingchuan held up the remaining fish and asked it: "Do you want to try my cooking?"
Zhu Erniang refused. It likes to suck jelly and can eat raw meat, but hates any cooked food. "Come with me after eating, and I will find a place for you to experiment."
Dong Rui pointed to the abandoned house behind Long Beach: "Isn't it right here?"
"If there is another flood, this place will be flooded." Zhu Erniang said, "You have also taken a trip under the water. The city was originally above the water level."
The two had no choice but to follow. Dong Rui couldn't help but said, "Where are we?"
"This is the Demon Nest Swamp, an uninhabited land on the border between Bega and Fu, but it does not belong to any country."
Fu country?
The two looked at each other in confusion, and He Lingchuan exclaimed: "Isn't that east of Bejia?"
He fell asleep for hundreds of miles?!
The water of Han River actually brought him all the way here.
He Lingchuan asked tentatively: "You didn't originally live in the Ghost Needle Stone Forest, so why did you move to the Devil's Nest Swamp thousands of miles away?"
Zhu Erniang snorted: "Back then, there was a war between Baling Kingdom and Panlong City, and the war burned into my territory. I couldn't get angry, so I killed the generals of Panlong City. Later, Panlong City always came to look for trouble, I was really
Unable to bear the disturbance, I had no choice but to move."
When He Lingchuan heard this, he suddenly reacted.
Yes, in reality, Zhu Erniang killed General Nanke in Panlong City and would not be tolerated by the Red General. Once Panlong City wins the battle of Wei City, we will turn around and deal with it.
It is reasonable for Zhu Erniang to be forced to move. Perhaps she suffered some frustration along the way because it was not elaborated on.
This is completely different from the direction in the dream. In Dafanghu's dream, because He Lingchuan burned down its underground nest farm in time, Zhu Erniang rushed back to the nest, and General Nanke was able to escape, so Panlong City and it did not form a bond.
Afterwards, the red general came to show off his muscles and restored the previous agreement, and Zhu Erniang did not need to move.
In the future, will there be more and more differences between dreams and real history?
"I lived in the Bejia Kingdom for a while, but I found it boring, so I went down the Han River and finally settled here." An old monster like it is not used to the life of the monster kingdom in later generations.
He Lingchuan asked again about the origin of the underwater city: "Did the residents leave because the water level rose?"
"How can it be that simple?" Zhu Erniang said eloquently, "This was originally the territory of the Jiana tribe. They lived in seclusion. At its peak, it was said that there were hundreds of thousands of people. Strong men emerged in large numbers and miracles occurred. It is said that
They also guarded the treasures given by the gods. Later, monsters descended from the sky and killed them all. A few decades later, the water level in the swamp rose and their former residence was flooded again."
She was leading the two of them out of the abandoned town, but when they passed the tallest building, He Lingchuan saw the statue inside through the open door.
The statue was carved from a single piece of granite and was over three feet tall. It was not easy to find such a large and square boulder in the swamp, and it was even harder to transport it.
There was no tree in front of the building, so a ray of sunlight happened to shine through and shine on the statue.
It turns out that the building located at the highest point of the entire city is a temple?
He Lingchuan let out a long sigh, made a mistake in his steps, and stepped in.
This exotic-style temple building has a spacious interior. It has been eroded by wind and water for more than a hundred years. Although it is covered with moss, the white stone floor tiles are mostly flat and complete. When you step on it, it is like playing a bell, and the sound is clear and clear, with echoes everywhere.
The tribute table has long since decayed, and only a small patch of ground in front of the statue is sunken, which is obviously the result of years of worship by devout believers.
He Lingchuan stood here, looking up at the statue.
This is a goddess with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a face full of compassion. Her eyes are slightly lowered, looking at the believers sitting down. She is holding a treasure pot in her hand, with dragons flying around her, and evil ghosts stepping on her feet.
Although it is entangled with vines, it has lost the majesty it once had.
He Lingchuan looked at it right away, his eyes full of shock.
Zhu Erniang and Dong Rui also came in: "What?"
"Is this the god worshiped by the Jana tribe?"
"Yes, they believe in the moon god." Zhu Erniang said slowly, "This is the moon god that Jian Na has believed in for generations. It is a pity that he could not protect them from monsters chasing their lives."
Moon God? He Lingchuan was confused for a moment, this was clearly a miracle!
The entire city of Panlong City worships the Goddess Mitian.
He has been in and out of dreams so many times, and of course he has been to the Mitian Temple. The Mitian God enshrined there has a slightly different appearance and demeanor than this one, but he will never admit it.
What's more, he had just seen this face in his dream before.
Red General!
Although the red general has a cold face, this goddess statue has a compassionate face, but the facial features are at least seventy similar, especially the iconic brown phoenix eyes.
Thousands of miles apart, the patron saint of Panlong City actually had followers deep in the Demon Nest Swamp, and he even changed his name?
He had no choice but to ask Zhu Erniang: "How much do you know about this Moon God?"
"How did I know?" Zhu Erniang knocked on the ground, "When I came here, this place was already deserted."
Dong Rui also wondered: "Then how did you know that the Jiana tribe was wiped out by monsters?"
"Strictly speaking, it's not a genocide. Some of their descendants escaped and moved to the edge of the Devil's Nest Swamp." Zhu Erniang touched her round belly with her paws. "Before I eat my prey, I like to chat with them.
Hear some interesting stories."
Once again, life in the swamp is too boring. He is a big monster who likes to listen to stories.
He Lingchuan, Dong Rui: "..."
You really need to escape as soon as possible.
He Lingchuan's heart moved: "Then do you know in which year the Jiana tribe was exterminated?"
Zhu Erniang stood still and tried her best to calculate in her mind. After a while, she said: "Well, if the descendants of the Jiana tribe remember correctly, today should be one hundred and seventy-four, no... one hundred and seventy-two years ago.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! One hundred and seventy-two years ago? Isn’t that the seventeenth year of the Panlong Calendar?
That was one or two years after the Chifeng Mine Incident.
While Panlong City was prospering under the protection of heaven, the Jianner people who believed in it were almost exterminated.
They are so close in time, what is the connection between the two?
"Have you ever seen the Mitian statue enshrined in Panlong City?"
"Of course not." Zhu Erniang was dissatisfied, "Do you think I can walk into Panlong City like this? Why, what is the connection between the two?"
"It's so similar." He Lingchuan just answered casually, but Zhu Erniang was even more casual: "What's so strange about that? Many gods have more than one image and one title in the world."
So that’s it?
The two of them left the ruins of the Jana clan and walked into the vast jungle.
After walking for several miles, the terrain gradually became higher and the two of them were forced to climb halfway up the mountain.
A large area of ground sinks ahead, which turns out to be an irregular sinkhole with a maximum diameter of about ten feet and is very deep. The rock walls are covered with calamus and small trees.
Zhu Erniang pointed at the tiankeng and said, "We're here."
He Lingchuan looked around and saw shadowy figures in the forest, all of which were spiders wandering around. He knew that Zhu Erniang was not at all worried about them.
In the territory of the burrowing spiders, even the eels have to pay tribute to them obediently. Unless they have wings, it will be difficult for them to escape.
At this time, even He Lingchuan couldn't help but miss the benefits of Dong Rui's strange bird.
Dong Rui was also looking up at the sky, wondering if he had the same emotion.
At this moment, Zhu Erniang raised her front paws and suddenly pushed them down the sinkhole——
It moved very quickly, and it struck from behind, and even He Lingchuan didn't dodge.
With a "plop", Dong Rui fell into the water, and He Lingchuan turned over in the air and jumped to a small tree on the edge of the cliff.
The water in the sinkhole is very clear, but bottomless.
Dong Rui was splashing in the water, and Zhu Erniang's figure stood on the edge of the sinkhole: "My children will take you to the laboratory. They have everything there. If you need anything, just tell them. Although the terrain down here is complicated, there is only this way.
One, I advise you not to play tricks, otherwise you will watch yourself being sucked dry bit by bit!"
He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other and shuddered.
Sure enough, there is a passage by the waterside, which goes deep into the heart of the mountain. The entrance of the cave is guarded by more than a dozen spiders.
When Dong Rui waded through the water, He Lingchuan also jumped to the entrance of the cave without touching the water.
When the two of them walked in, there were two little spiders leading the way.
Dong Rui swallowed the water in his mouth: "As expected, it is worried about us. Hey, do you still have the red potion you stole from me?"
He asked twice, but He Lingchuan didn't reply, he just looked around.
The tiankeng is not independent, but connected to a cave. After a short walk, there will be a branch road. However, the little spider seems to be very familiar with this place and leads the way without hesitation.
"Hey, you..." It's just an ordinary cave, what's so interesting about it?
The cracks in the rock wall are covered with soft grass and fungi, and you can often hear the sound of water flowing all the way down, which will eventually end up in the sinkhole.
He Lingchuan suddenly said: "There is something strange here."
They were thrown into the sinkhole by a spider demon. Dong Rui said angrily: "Is there anything that is not weird?"
The cave is not exposed to daylight, but fortunately the cave spider transplanted fluorescent spores into it, which acts as a street light, and the passage is still quite bright.
"You touch this stone wall."
Dong Rui reached out and touched the cave wall. It was not very hard, as if it were covered with a thin layer of soft skin, and the color was slightly ocher.
Is there moss growing on the rock wall? He looked carefully and found that there was no moss there. Instead, there were traces of vines growing on the rock everywhere.
"Strange, there is such a stone?"
And He Lingchuan was busy concealing his shock and had no time to talk.
The little spider who led the way turned a few corners and led the two of them to a stone room:
"arrive."
There were several spider monsters guarding here, so it retreated.
