1397. Chapter 1397 The identity of the high priest
Inside Tianyong City, the black unicorn forbidden area.
Dugu Xiu and the high priest walked to the forbidden area.
Black Qilin's forbidden area is an ancient stone tomb.
To enter the stone tomb, you must pass through nine stone gates. In front of each stone gate, there are special magic restrictions.
As long as there is one mistake, the mechanism will be activated.
The forbidden area enshrines the tablets of the Black Qilin clan chiefs of all generations, and an ancient magic circle is arranged here. Dugu Xiu had only been here once before, under the leadership of Obsidian, when he recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan.
After hearing the news of Hei Linlin's death, Hei Yao was furious. He led an army of 100,000 black unicorns to besiege Luochuan City.
Hei Yao originally planned to take Dugu Xiu with him and let him be the forward, but Dugu Xiu said that the defense of Tianyong City was empty at this time and needed someone to guard it.
Hei Yao only thought that Dugu Xiu was unwilling to attack that woman Yun Sheng, so he cursed "useless things," and left with his army.
As soon as Obsidian left, the high priest and Dugu Xiu entered the forbidden area.
Dugu Xiu didn't know what the high priest wanted to do in the forbidden area, but what surprised him was that the high priest was very skillful in controlling those ancient magic arrays that even Obsidian had to work hard to control.
Closed one by one.
"This is the last door." The high priest stood in front of the stone door and looked at the last stone door.
The high priest closed the last magic circle, the stone door made a clicking sound, and the heavy stone door slowly moved away.
"Do you know what is inside this last stone door?" the high priest suddenly asked.
"The empty tomb of the Qilin King left over from ancient times." Dugu Xiu once heard Hei Yao talk about it.
The Black Qilin Cemetery is an empty tomb to commemorate the relics of the Black Qilin King who died in the Wuji Continent. The real body of the Black Qilin King is still left in the Bahuang Continent.
"Haha, is that so? It turns out that that's what future generations say." The high priest let out a weird laugh.
Dugu Xiu glanced at the high priest suspiciously.
"You guys have been following me for so long, please come out." Just when the high priest and Dugu Xiu were about to enter the stone gate, the high priest suddenly stopped.
Yushang and the great witch doctor came out.
When he saw the two of them, Dugu Xiu was very surprised.
"Who are you? Why did you break into the forbidden area of the Black Qilin King?" After Yushang met Ye Beiming in Tianhu Palace, she tried her best to find clues to prove that Ye Beiming was the Black Kirin King.
The reincarnation of Qilin King Yexiu.
Finally, she remembered that there might be a clue in the Kirin Forbidden Land.
"Hu Yushang, I didn't expect you to be so stupid after living again." The high priest snorted coldly.
Yushang's expression became strange.
"It's you! Are you Ye Xiu's shadow?"
"Shadow? Hahaha, yes, after so many years, in the eyes of the world, I am just a shadow. I have no name or identity. I can't believe that anyone still remembers me." The high priest smiled conspiratorially, and he uncovered the clothes on his body.
Priestly robe.
When they saw the high priest under the priest's robe, Dugu Xiu, Yu Chang and the great witch doctor couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
That was a person...but his face was riddled with holes and his appearance had been disfigured.
"As Ye Xiu's shadow, why did he die but you didn't?" Yushang looked at the high priest in disbelief.
The so-called shadow is Ye Xiu's closest shadow guard. He has been with Ye Xiu almost since he was born, and he never leaves.
Under certain circumstances, the shadow will also act as Ye Xiu's substitute.
After Yushang reminded them, everyone also felt that the high priest's body shape and his voice were somewhat similar to Ye Xiu.
"If it wasn't for Fox Smoke, how could the clan leader have died?" When the high priest mentioned Fox Smoke, he felt filled with hatred.
The relationship between the high priest and Ye Xiu is very secretive, and even Hu Yan and Hu Yushang were the last to know about it.
"In the Black Qilin tribe, there is a legend that if twins appear, it means bad luck. Qi is the elder brother, and Lin is the younger brother. Qi is an auspicious beast, but Lin is a disaster beast. The elder brother will bring hope, but the younger brother will not
It will bring disaster and disease." The high priest fell into deep thought, and he also brought everyone present to a night thousands of years ago.
That night, the patriarch's wife gave birth to a pair of identical twins.
According to the ancient sayings of the Qilin tribe, the birth of twins will bring bad luck to the tribe.
In order to keep this secret, the patriarch's wife killed the witch doctor who delivered the baby that night, and even her maid was killed on the spot.
The patriarch's wife originally wanted to kill the twin brother, but just when the patriarch's wife was about to take action, the elder brother Ye Xiu couldn't stop crying. The patriarch's wife was afraid that others would notice, so she could only disfigure the face of the twin brother.
Quietly abandoned outside the home of an unsuspecting couple in the clan.
The patriarch's wife originally thought that the child would disappear forever.
But she ignored that, after all, that child was of the same bloodline as Ye Xiu, the Black Qilin King.
Even though he was from an ordinary poor family, he gradually showed his talent, but unlike Ye Xiu, his talent in magic was even better.
But because of his appearance, he has always lived a humble life.
Perhaps it was fate, when the two brothers were nine years old, Ye Xiu went out hunting and accidentally met his younger brother, who would later become Shadow, and the two became very good friends.
Ye Xiu didn't mind his ugly appearance and kept his nameless brother by his side as his personal bodyguard.
But when Ye Xiu returned to the Black Qilin tribe with his nameless brother, the patriarch's wife recognized at a glance that this so-called personal guard was the twin brother she had abandoned back then.
In order to prevent the incident from being exposed, the patriarch's wife arrested him.
Only then did the high priest know his identity.
The patriarch's wife also discovered the magical talent of the high priest. At the same time, Ye Xiu was unwilling to let this confidant who was like his brother leave. In desperation, the patriarch's wife threatened the lives of his adoptive parents and forced him to live in the same place for the rest of his life.
You can't tell Ye Xiu the truth.
Although the high priest hated the patriarch's wife, he had a deep affection for his brother Yesiu.
He finally promised the patriarch's wife that he would never betray Ye Xiu for the rest of his life.
The high priest has been following Ye Xiu, and the two have grown from teenagers to majestic men. Watching the unparalleled Ye Xiu gradually becoming the number one master among the Eight Desolate Beast Tribes, the high priest may occasionally envy him.
That was because he was still happy for his brother from the bottom of his heart.
Together, the two of them secured territory after territory for the strength of the Black Qilin tribe.
"All of this changed because of the appearance of Hu Yan. Ye Xiu, he betrayed the friendship between us two brothers. For that woman, he even forgot the oath we made to unify the Qilin tribe." He fell into memories.
The high priest's expression suddenly changed, his eyes filled with resentment.
