Following Xuanwu's long sigh, everyone seemed to be caught in a long memory.
Five hundred years ago, when this world had just emerged, the four divine beasts were just ordinary little animals.
Qinglong is a green bamboo leaf, Baihu is a white cat, Xuanwu is hiding by the river to bask in the sun, and Suzaku has just crawled out of the eggshell.
As soon as this world came out, the four selected animals were suddenly pulled here by an inexplicable force, and then countless spiritual energy poured into their bodies instantly, forcing them to become what they are now.
After the spiritual energy initiation was completed, they were given a common mission to guard this forbidden mountain.
All this happened so inexplicably that the four divine beasts didn't even know why they came here, and they were even less willing to accept this so-called guarding mission.
They all wanted to leave, but none of them succeeded.
This is a forbidden mountain, which prohibits outsiders from entering and also prohibiting them from leaving.
They tried their best, but still couldn't escape.
In the end we had to get together to discuss, and the eldest Black Tortoise gave a feasible suggestion - let outsiders destroy the mountain!
Their duty is to protect this mountain, but this mountain is also their forbidden land, imprisoning their freedom.
For freedom, this mountain must be destroyed!
At that time, Qinglong had just transformed from a little green snake into a dragon, and his strength had greatly increased. He wanted to go out and have some adventures, so he naturally wanted to be free.
The white tiger changed from a cat to a mythical beast, and his temperament changed drastically. It was impossible for him to stay in such a quiet place, and he was eager to leave.
Not long after Zhuque was born, he still wanted to find his mother.
Xuanwu doesn't matter, anyway, you can bask in the sun anywhere and go out for a while, so it's not bad here.
Thus, a plan formulated by Qinglong and Baihu began.
A large amount of spiritual energy leaked out from the Forbidden Mountain, and the spiritual energy turned into green grassland and spread to the entire space.
Even the outside world is attracted by the spiritual energy.
As a result, a crazy beast tide formed.
At the entrance to the passage between this world and the outside world, which is Qingxia Mountain, countless beasts are attracted by the spiritual energy and swarm in.
All wild beasts are crazy about it.
The memory of Xuanwu is shared with every soul, not only Lu Xiaoyue and Li Qingyue, but even Jian Zhen can clearly "see" this memory.
After reading it, he just wanted to sigh: "What nonsense is this?"
For the freedom of the four of you guys, countless animals, humans, and cultivators have been killed and injured in the outside world.
The number of teenagers who participated in the entry trial and died there are countless. There is a beast wave every five years, at least a hundred teenagers every year... Over the past five hundred years, at least tens of thousands of teenagers have died here.
Is this kind of freedom really worth it?
For Jian Zhen, it is naturally not worth it.
But he knew that for the four divine beasts, the death or injury of others had nothing to do with them. As long as they could get out, everything was worth it.
After Lu Xiaoyue and Li Qingyue read it, they immediately fell into deep contemplation.
None of them could have imagined that behind the entrance trial, there was actually a conspiracy of these four divine beasts - a conspiracy for freedom!
"You showed us these, do you want us to let you out?" Jian Zhen suddenly asked.
"That's right!" Xuanwu nodded and said very solemnly: "We are eager for freedom and have tried every means to get out. Now we finally wait for you."
"Since we are here to help you, why do you still attack me?" Jian Zhen was a little puzzled: Since I am here to save you, shouldn't I be welcomed in the opposite direction?
"Haha, I don't care. But the kitten said that he wants to test you... the bird is also very interested." Xuanwu explained with a smile.
"What about it?" Jian Zhen turned around, pointed the tip of his sword directly at Qinglong, and said, "There is murderous intent in its eyes, and you can't hide this from me!"
Speaking of Qinglong, Xuanwu's expression changed instantly, and he said solemnly: "You killed his wife... If we hadn't stopped it, it would have gone to you to fight for it!"
Madam? Qinglong’s madam?
Could it be...a fairy snake!
"Gulu!" Jianzhen swallowed quietly, feeling a little panicked in his heart.
How did he know that Fairy Snake is Qinglong's wife?
When the fairy snake wanted to eat him, he could only resist with all possible means, even if he killed it with a sword, he didn't hold back.
Now it seems that the revenge of killing his wife will definitely not escape.
But... according to Xuanwu, this hatred may not be impossible to eliminate.
"I didn't know the origin of that snake at the time. Those who don't know are not guilty, don't you think?" Jian Zhen said with an innocent face.
Xuanwu just smiled coldly and said: "Go and tell it this sentence!"
"What do you mean?" Jian Zhen also changed his expression.
"If it can forgive you, you will be fine... If it doesn't forgive you, haha..." Xuanwu didn't directly say what would happen next, but it was not difficult to hear the threat in its tone.
"Pfft!" Jianzhen laughed angrily.
You are asking for help from me. You need me to destroy this forbidden mountain and set you free.
So you guys treated me like this?
"Aren't you afraid that I will run away in anger?" he asked with a smile.
"Don't be afraid!" Xuanwu shook his head and said calmly: "You can't run away. In this mountain, unless you destroy this mountain, you will never be able to defeat us!"
this……
As soon as these words came out, Jian Zhen lost his face instantly.
In fact, he had realized this a long time ago. The four divine beasts were forcibly lifted up by the aura of this mountain. All their powers were bound to this mountain. As long as this mountain was not destroyed, they would be invincible.
Fighting them is not just fighting their bodies, but also fighting the aura of the entire Forbidden Mountain, and fighting all the forces in this world.
The difficulty can be imagined.
Damn it, I wouldn't have come up if I had known... Oh, forget it! You've come, you have to finish it no matter what.
Jian Zhen was troubled in his heart for a while, and Lu Xiaoyue suddenly stood up and asked a question.
"Didn't you say that there were only the four of you here at first? Where did that fairy snake come from?"
This question seemed to be very simple. Xuanwu was about to answer when he suddenly heard a clear and sweet female voice coming from next to him.
"You mean that little white snake? It was naturally attracted by spiritual energy. I wanted to eat it at first, but the old guy stopped me!"
Suzaku said, waving his wings and pointing at Qinglong, his tone seemed a little dissatisfied.
It's true that originally, only the four divine beasts were here in this forbidden mountain, but for some reason, the little white snake was able to enter the forbidden mountain and even became the spouse of Qinglong.
This made the other three mythical beasts extremely jealous...
Everyone is single, why do you have a wife who comes to your door?
