The bearded Qing Huoheng did not have any doubts about Qing Huo Gaochi's final decision.
Although his mood was already very solemn.
Qinghuo Gaochi wants to personally guard Wuzhi Cave, which shows that he believes that the situation that Wuzhi Cave will face next may be beyond Qinghuo Heng's ability to deal with it.
This is a terrible conjecture!
What kind of danger would it be? How terrible would it be?
Even... what if you can't even hold on to the blazing fire?
Once the star beast breaks through the guard, the totem pool of the Qinghuo Department will be exhausted.
There are no tribes whose caves have been breached in history without exception.
Any Floating Land person can understand the consequences of the totem pool drying up.
And the star beasts that are able to bathe in the starlight of Tianshu will become a disaster. The tribes that are breached in the underground cave are also the sinners of the floating land.
For all the major tribes in Floating Continent, guarding the caves is always the top priority, surpassing all else.
"I have to stay here." Jiang Wang said.
Qinghuo Gaochi looked at him, waiting for his explanation.
"My sword skills need to be sharpened. This will make me more confident in the game of life and death. The star beast is a very suitable target." Jiang Wang weighed it and chose this reason.
Jiang Wang's identity is that he is a comer from the blue sky, a star general, and the chess master who represents the Qinghuo Department in the life-and-death chess game. He is not subordinate to the Qinghuo Department.
Therefore, no matter how much Qinghuo Gaochi kept his word in the Qinghuo Department, it was impossible to force Jiang Wang to order him.
On the contrary, as long as Jiang Wang's request is not too unreasonable, the Qinghuo Department will find a way to satisfy it.
What's more, him helping to guard the cave is also a good thing for the Qinghuo Department. Qinghuo Gaochi himself has seen his strength.
"I will not interfere with your decision. But there is only one thing. If you encounter irresistible danger, please retreat first."
Qinghuo Gaochi said, and then ordered: "Qinghuo Yuanchen, you are responsible for ensuring this matter. The ranking in the life and death chess may be an opportunity for us. The safety of the star general is of vital importance."
"Don't worry, Patriarch." Qinghuo Yuanchen said: "Although my combat power is not as good as General Xing, if I encounter an irresistible danger, I will definitely stand in front."
Jiang Wang naturally has no objection. Although he thinks that he does not need protection. If he encounters a danger that he cannot resist, it will be difficult to fill Qinghuo Yuanchen in.
In the end, only Qing Huo Heng left the Wuzhi Catacombs. It was like Qing Huo Gao Chi personally went to the cave, just to exchange the rights and responsibilities of both parties.
The tide of star beasts has temporarily subsided, and Qinghuo Gaochi has not adjusted Qinghuo Heng's arrangements. Two teams are still preparing for battle, two teams are on standby, and the rest are resting.
He himself sat down on a stone platform next to the cave and called Jiang Wang: "You who come from Qingtian, please sit down."
Jiang Wang understood that the leader of the Qinghuo Department probably had something to say, so he sat down next to the stone platform.
"Is there a Youtian in your world?" Qing Huo Gaochi looked at the dark Youtian and asked suddenly.
"At least I haven't seen it."
"It is said that heaven is sentient, and everything has its own reason. What reason can there be in a place like Youtian? It is the disaster among disasters and the source of all misfortunes in Floating Land. The light in the blue sky will be extinguished at night,
It can be seen that the light cannot last forever. The dark sky will always be the dark sky. Is there really eternal darkness in the world?"
Qinghuo Gaochi asked Jiang Wang: "You come from the world above the blue sky, can you explain my doubts?"
It can be seen that even a strong and determined warrior like him can sometimes feel at a loss.
Because guarding the cave is too difficult, too long, and it never sees the light of day. Ordinary warriors can also take turns to rest, but beings like him and Qing Huoheng have to face the ground throughout their lives.
cave,
Jiang Wang did not pretend to be pretentious and said honestly: "I am just an ordinary practitioner, and my world is very bleak. Maybe someone in our world can solve your confusion, and maybe one day I can, but at least
Now I don’t have such ability.”
"What do you think of Qinghuo Qiming?"
"He's a pity."
"What a pity?" Qinghuo calmed down for a while: "Yes, it's a pity for him."
Qinghuo Gaochi asked again: "You were the last person who communicated with Qinghuo Qiming before he jumped down from Youtian. Do you think that jumping down from Youtian was something he had already planned?"
Maybe this question is what he really wants to ask.
Jiang Wang shook his head: "When he communicated with me, he did not show his will to die. Moreover, his fear of Youtian is deep-rooted and is definitely not a disguise. Combined with his last words, I think he was bewitched by something."
"Bewitched..."
The fire of celebration was high and he groaned for a while.
Then he smiled bitterly: "Although the contact time was short, he seemed to trust you very much, and in the end he only had something to say to you."
"Because of his fear of Youtian, he is incompatible with this place." Jiang Wang said: "He doesn't just have something to say to me. He said that I am the only one willing to listen to what he has to say."
After a period of silence, Qinghuo Gaochi clasped his hands and told a history.
The Qinghuo Department does not know which generation of witchcraft it is (because it has been carried out in secret, a lot of information has not been preserved. Until now, it is no longer known who was the first to start.), through many years of research on Youtian
, this Wu Zhu thought of a way.
That is to tamper with the totem of fire and create the totem of darkness on this basis.
It is imagined that people who possess the Totem of Youtian can contact Youtian, and even... control the origin of Youtian.
If the source of Youtian can be controlled, star beasts may no longer be a problem.
This is undoubtedly a genius idea.
But creating the Totem of the Netherworld seems feasible, but in fact it is almost impossible to achieve.
All the original totems in Floating Land to this day are said to be left by Kong, the God of Creation.
How can manpower create such a great totem?
In the end, the wizard could not complete his vision.
But perhaps because the fear brought by You Tian was too long, this castle-like idea was not shelved.
The successive generations of shamans of the Ministry of Fire have worked hard for this, and they have paid for it one after another. It can be said that they have poured their whole life's efforts into this idea. There is even a shaman who feels the Youtian with his body and touches the Youtian with his limbs.
After they were all eliminated, he orally recorded his feelings and completed the final leap...
This was continued from generation to generation, and finally, in the hands of the previous witch Zhu, Qinghuo Bamboo scribe, who was known as the strongest shaman in history, the "Totem of the Netherworld" was initially completed.
Totems ultimately have an effect on the human body.
With such research, corresponding test products are naturally needed.
As one of the strongest men in the tribe, Qinghuo Qiming's grandfather agreed very much with this plan and was willing to try it. However, he was old and had practiced the Fire Totem to an extremely advanced level. Therefore, Qinghuo Qiming's father
, has become one of the test subjects since he was a child.
Over a long period of time, all those who accepted the "Totem of Darkness" experiment failed without a doubt.
As for Qinghuo Qiming's father, his astonishing talent and his extraordinary affinity for the "Totem of the Netherworld" made Wu Zhuqing Huozhushu place high hopes on him.
In order to better accept the "Totem of the Netherworld", all the experimental subjects of the "Totem of the Netherworld" were not aware of it. They were covered up in the name of the special combat power of the clan. Before the final "test", they were all
Ordinary people live a disguised life, and the tribe also allows them not to participate in guarding the caves.
When Qinghuo Qiming was five years old, his father's strength reached a limit.
So Wu Zhuqinghuo Zhushu thought that the time had come and threw Qinghuo Qiming's father into the cave for the first time.
There were three test subjects in total.
The result was very unfortunate.
The other two people were silently eliminated by Youtian.
Qinghuo Qiming's father showed strong resistance after discovering his identity as a test subject. Knowing that the so-called "special totem" on his body was actually just a test from You Tian, ​​he did not hesitate to use extremely violent methods.
He abandoned his totem and escaped from the cave for the rest of his life.
Qing Huo Qiming's grandfather was a brave man who fought for his tribe all his life. He couldn't stand his son's cowardice, so he killed him with his own hands and trained his own grandson.
Since childhood, he has used his father's "cowardice" as a counterexample to set up and cultivate the courage to celebrate his remembrance.
And regardless of his age, he goes to the cave every year to set an example for his grandson.
Even his "accidental" death in battle in the end was to inspire Qing Huo to inscribe his name.
To be continued...
