"He is too old, his body has long since decayed, and he has very little strength left. He may not even be able to defeat the princess of the underworld now."
"No way?"
After all, it is also a level 7 legendary mountain and sea beast, and it is a legend in terms of strength, not rarity. How could such a strong man be so good?
"A-Xuan, believe it or not," Yaoshitu said, "I can beat him to pieces with just one punch!"
Well, considering the way Anaif appeared, Qin Xuan really didn't dare to let Sister Rabbit try anything.
"No, no, no, no," Qin Xuan quickly stopped him: "We are here to discuss business, not to cause trouble."
Respecting the elderly and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Qin Xuan family.
"snort."
What happened before, even though it was just an accident, and the Lord of the Earth really didn't mean it, and the other party was an old guy, and his brain was not very bright after getting older, but the Medicinal Rabbit still felt unhappy. Sister Rabbit had almost no shortcomings and was omnipotent.
But when it comes to matters involving Qin Xuan, such as Qin Xuan's safety being threatened, Sister Tu will be very angry. This may be Sister Tu's only shortcoming.
"This breath is unmistakable." However, at this moment, the skeleton who was still looking like he was about to die suddenly became excited: "It's here, it's finally here. After waiting for so many years, it's finally here.
!”
Qin Xuan looked puzzled: "Do you know me?"
However, the skeleton became quiet again. Not only Qin Xuan, but also Aneff and the others looked surprised.
"This breath is unmistakable!"
Why?
Why do these words sound so familiar?
Suddenly, the mummy spoke again: "It's here, it's finally here..."
Second time!
Why do you say the same thing a second time?!
"that..."
"This breath! It's unmistakable..."
What's going on?
After listening to the mummy's previous words again, Qin Xuan tried to speak, but closed his mouth again. He only heard the skeleton continue to say: "A long time ago, we lived in a peaceful pure land, where there were no disputes or conflicts.
There is no trouble, the jackal gods live there ordinary and simple, leading a carefree life."
Even the Lord of the Holy Land has never heard of this from his ancestors. In fact, the Lord of the Earth Realm is so old that he already has this honor from the existence of the Underworld, and even more
What is speechless is that this old man has obvious Alzheimer's disease. When you talk to him, you can only listen and never ask, because if you ask, he will...
"I'm sorry," Qin Xuan didn't want to hear this nonsense. He just wanted to talk about business: "I'm here..."
"..."
"A long time ago, we lived in..."
Don’t say it all over again!
"Hey?" Qin Xuan: "Um, old man, senior, did you hear me?"
"..."
So, there was silence again, but Qin Xuan finally understood: "Okay, you say it, I will listen to you first."
"A long time ago..."
In desperation, Qin Xuan had no choice but to let the Alzheimer's mummy finish his words. However, gradually, Qin Xuan discovered that this mummy seemed to be telling a story, a story about the origin of the Jackal God.
According to him, the Jackal God originally lived in a world where there was only pure death. They had their own country, civilization and customs. They lived and worked in peace and contentment. They were completely different from the messengers of death today. The Jackal God at that time would
It can cry and laugh, and has its own emotions. It is not so much the dead as it is another form of living being, a living being that protects death and order.
"But one day, a group of invaders came to our country. They destroyed our home, killed our relatives, and then brought the surviving tribesmen to an extremely ancient land," said the Lord of the Land
The voice seemed to have penetrated time, and what was shown in front of Qin Xuan was the ruins and despair of a happy home that was destroyed by war: "And in that land, we became slaves and were locked up in a dark prison.
Listening to the wails of pain that are worse than death."
These things were not carved on the stone slab of the underworld of the Jackal God, so even Anef and the Lord of the Holy Land did not know that their ancestors had such a tragic experience. It turned out that the Jackal God was raped by some
War slaves captured from their country after a powerful force invaded.
"Countless years have passed, our ancestors have died, and the new generation has grown up in suffering. Gradually, only us who have forgotten hatred and have engraved surrender in our bones are left. Such days have passed for a long time, until that day
One day!" Speaking of this, the voice of the old skeleton revealed an emotion called joy: "That person appeared in front of us."
"who?"
Qin Xuan asked subconsciously.
But the next moment, Aneff, the Lord of the Holy Land, and the Medicinal Rabbit all looked at Qin Xuan, and then looked at the Skeleton King of the Earth Realm, with his mouth open and motionless.
"Kacha!"
The mouth was closed, but the first sentence after opening it again was: "A long time ago..."
What is the most painful thing in the world?
If you ask Qin Xuan now, he will tell you that he has heard the same story ten times!
Is there anything more painful than this?
Qin Xuan would say, yes!
What is it?
It’s the same story, I have to listen to it for the eleventh time!
"He opened our cage and took off the shackles our ancestors had worn for generations. He gave us things that had been forgotten." At this moment, the body of the Lord of the Earth seemed to tremble. He would never forget that person.
The hope it brings to them, and the most important thing: "Dignity!"
"The man told us that as long as we fight for them, we are not slaves, but one of them, their compatriots, and subjects of the empire!"
Later, in the story woven by the hoarse voice, Qin Xuan saw countless wars. The Jackal God believed in him and fought for him, fighting for the invader who enslaved them but gave them hope.
.
However, too much time has passed. The older generation of Jackal Gods has died, and the new generation has long forgotten their hatred. All they can remember is the respect and future that that person gave them. They are no longer
They were slaves, but brave and fearless warriors who opened up territories and suppressed rebellions. The Jackal God was extremely loyal and only wanted the beautiful future blueprint drawn by that man.
"So we got what we wanted through sacrifice and loyalty." It can be imagined that even today, the old man still remembers the person who brought changes to them: "He saved us and brought us success."
We guided and taught, and we fought to the end for him and for their empire."
Constantly fighting, constantly working hard for the empire, and fighting to repay him for his salvation.
But, in the end...
'Where are you?'
The jackal gods fought bloody battles and refused to retreat in the face of the enemy's attacks, because they were waiting for that person's next instructions.
'Are we going to continue fighting to the death, are we going to die here?'
They are not afraid of death, even if they sacrifice, it doesn't matter, but more than death, they want to know, is this a military order, is it his plan?
If it was his plan and he wanted to sacrifice them, then the Jackal God would fight to death here regardless of the cost, because they believed in him and believed that any of his plans had a more profound purpose. The death here was to allow victory.
One step closer!
‘Please tell us, even if it’s just one sentence, one word!’
The Jackal Gods did not want to die in an unknown battle, so they kept fighting and fighting, and finally fought their way out with all their might.
However, at that moment, what they saw was an empire that was beginning to collapse, and an endless world that was constantly shattering.
"This underworld was the battlefield we were on at that time," the old man continued: "As time passed, we waited here for a call, but he never called us again."
"More and more comrades-in-arms are dying," the Lord of the Earth Realm said: "I am the only one left standing here, waiting for him to come back."
"And now," his empty eyes looked at Qin Xuan again, but compared to the previous terrifying, the black flames in the eyes of the earth ruler were so gentle and kind: "You are here, finally, come to us.
.”
"You said I was that person?"
"..."
WTF, WTF, WTF!
Is this too much of a question? Most people will ask this question, right?!
But...
Qin Xuan looked at the others with a bitter look on his face. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and then he looked at the ruler of the earth: "A long time ago..."
Qin Xuan: ‘Holy shit!!!’
What's scarier than having to listen to it for the eleventh time?
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard it!
OMG!
‘I promise, I will never speak again this time!’ Qin Xuan had no choice but to continue listening to the old man telling the story.
"You came to us." Finally, the story came to this point again, and then the Lord of the Earth Realm said something that surprised Qin Xuan: "Although you are not him, you have his breath."
'breath?'
Qin Xuan really couldn't guess what he meant, but Qin Xuan didn't dare to ask because he was afraid that if he asked, he would interrupt him and then say it again.
Being mentally retarded is not scary, the scary thing is hearing the mentally retarded talk!
"What's the smell on me?" Qin Xuan looked at Medicinal Rabbit: "What's the smell?"
"I don't know," Medicinal Rabbit said that he didn't understand it either: "The aura he mentioned should be a feeling. If I had to guess what it is, I think it's your demonic power."
"Demon power?"
Yes, only demonic power can be clearly felt by mountain and sea beasts. The Lord of the Land probably made this judgment because he felt that Qin Xuan's demonic power was very similar to that person.
"Um..." Qin Xuan just wanted to ask, but immediately covered his mouth. Fortunately, the voice was not loud and did not interrupt the words of the earth master, but this was embarrassing because Qin Xuan had no way to verify it from him.
There is really a panic between them.
"We," the Lord of the Earth Realm looked at Qin Xuan, looking at him expectantly: "Did we win?"
However, what Qin Xuan could not imagine was that the answer that the Lord of the Earth had been waiting for for countless years, constantly rejecting the call of the afterlife, would be just this, did they win, did they win, did the empire win?
Qin Xuan didn't know. He looked at Medicinal Rabbit and she gave Qin Xuan a helpless look. Then he looked at Han Ji and Tapir Meng, both of whom also shook their heads.
'How do I know if the Empire has won or lost?'
But after listening to the story of the Lord of the Earth Realm and paying attention to the judgment and analysis of normal people, that bullshit empire must have been defeated!
But when Qin Xuan wanted to answer, he didn't know whether it was because he was afraid of disturbing the Earth Lord again or for some other reason. However, Qin Xuan was unable to speak for a long time, and the Earth Lord waited quietly as if he had finished telling the story.
Qin Xuan's answer.
"Well..." Qin Xuan: "If I answer now, will you have to do it all over again?"
"..."
After the words fell, the whole place was silent, except for the mummy's open mouth that made a sound: "A long time ago..."
Sure enough!!
Qin Xuan knew that this was another trap, and he knew that this old man was playing tricks on him again!
"Win!!" Qin Xuan's voice drowned out the words of the Lord of the Earth. Under everyone's shocked eyes and the silence of the Lord of the Earth, Qin Xuan's voice echoed over and over again in the underground palace.
