Xiongshan Nature Reserve, Tanzhou City, Jingchu Governor-General Region.
Today, this place has long been forgotten by the world.
If you don't look at the map, even many Jingchu people don't know that such a nature reserve exists.
no way!
Since the end of the Hundred Years War, Xiongshan has been included in the first batch of national nature reserves.
Since then it has been strictly protected.
Only a few forest rangers and the local environmental protection department regularly enter the area to inspect.
After modern times, the environmental protection department learned to use satellites, and the number of visits became even less.
As a result, this protected area has become a truly forgotten place.
The mountain road is covered with moss and thorns.
The valleys on both sides are lush and green, already showing the charm of spring.
Not far ahead, there is a small pavilion built on the mountainside for resting.
Lingpingan walked to the small pavilion, took a look, then turned around and asked: "After here, it is the ancestral land, right?"
The elderly Grandma Hu, with the support of Hu Nuonuo, nodded: "The young master said yes!"
Grandma Hu let out a sigh of relief as she spoke.
Since two hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Ling family left this homeland overnight with their ancestors.
For two hundred years, no one dared to come back.
because……
The entire mountainous area here has become part of a terrifyingly powerful ritual!
Lingpingan walked out of the small pavilion and climbed to the top of the mountain.
Looking forward, a valley appears in front of us.
Lush trees, tangled vines, and birds and animals that become active when they smell the breath of spring.
On the opposite side of the valley, there is a small hillside.
The shape of the hillside, seen from a distance, looks like a bird nesting among the mountains and trees.
Probably, this is the origin of Luofengpo, right?
Lingpingan raised his head and looked at the sky above the hillside.
The gas is swirling.
The stars shine!
It was as if there was another starry sky reflecting the shadow of this world.
Starlight fell, and under the hillside, huge objects like chains appeared from deep inside.
They are intertwined with each other, forming an obscure, ominous and terrifying symbol.
And at the end of this symbol.
Two shadows intertwined with each other.
"That's it!" Before Lingpingan blinked, the vision in his eyes disappeared completely, as if what he just saw was just an illusion.
But, he understood that that was the fact!
The ancestors of the Ling family once held an extremely powerful and strange ritual here.
Ritual summons taboos.
And taboos lead to uncertainty.
Therefore, in order to suppress this taboo and unknown.
The ancestors of the Ling family chose self-sacrifice.
Using himself as a sacrifice, he summoned a terrifying and powerful ancient god.
That god sacrificed his divine body and divine kingdom.
Turn those taboos and unknowns into a rune and suppress it here!
Obviously, it all has something to do with him!
In fact, it was the reason for his birth!
Lingpingan looked at the ancestral land, then turned back and said to Hu, Wang, Zhang and Lu who had been following him: "You guys wait here for me first..."
"I'll go over there and take a look. I'll pick you up again when there's no danger!"
"Yes!" Everyone bowed in unison.
Lingpingan handed Best to Hu Nuonuo again, and then asked: "Nono... you are here with Best... If there is danger, Best can protect you!"
Meow, the little black cat meowed obediently.
"Yeah!" Hu Nuonuo nodded seriously.
So, Lingpingan stepped forward, heading towards the origin of everything.
He walked through rugged thorny paths and dense bushes.
Wherever it passes, thorns wither and shrubs wither.
There are countless rustling sounds in the seemingly peaceful underground.
In the end, Lingpingan reached his destination.
A ruined building that has been overgrown with weeds and covered with decay, with only a few traces of bricks and tiles exposed.
He raised his head and looked at the top of his head. The rune full of ominousness and taboo appeared again.
However, this time Lingpingan could clearly see the figure above the rune.
A man and a woman, a yin and a yang, intertwined shadows.
These two shadows are sometimes very sacred, sometimes terrifying, and sometimes extremely weird.
In my ears, all kinds of taboos and dirty words kept echoing.
Lingpingan looked at it, gently reached out and grabbed it on the ground.
Countless pieces of humus and soil were gently picked up by him.
The ruins that had been buried for two hundred years were exposed to the sun again.
And he saw a place at a glance.
It was a brand new stone house.
When Lingpingan saw it, the image of the stone house immediately changed.
The buildings in front of us also began to decay.
Green slime is dripping.
Click, click, click!
All the wooden houses seem to have come alive.
Under the foundation, pieces of meat with huge foot-like structures like sheep's hooves slowly came to life.
The tiles on the roof trembled constantly.
It looks like the crown of a weird tree!
No!
Those are countless tentacles, swaying.
The wall cracked, and pieces of wrinkled rough green skin squeezed out.
Ho ho ho!
The awakened monsters screamed.
Black goat cub!
The most beloved creature of the Great Mother Goddess.
The gentlest children of the Black Goats of the Forest!
But if you look carefully, you can see that these horrible things are already dead.
Their bodies have rotted away.
Their limbs ooze thick juice.
The terrifying divine power in their bodies is constantly extracted by the rituals transformed by this building.
And mixed into the runes above the head.
Make up the energy that maintains this ritual!
If you look more carefully, you will know that these terrible black goat cubs committed suicide on their own initiative.
After committing suicide, they even actively cooperated with humans.
So that humans can mix their flesh, blood, and souls with the surrounding soil, burn them into bricks, and refine them into part of the ritual!
And here, at the foot of these ruins, are the bodies of at least hundreds of black goat cubs.
Among them were dozens of dead black goat babies whose hearts were still beating.
These terrible creatures, even dead.
It is still enough to distort and destroy the ecology of an entire world!
And while alive.
The black goat cub is the child and messenger of the Dark Mother Goddess.
Each black goat cub can easily destroy a world of life!
And now, hundreds of black goat cubs have died here, turned into bricks, and become part of the altar and ritual!
Lingpingan took a deep breath: "As expected!"
He raised his head and looked at the runes above his head: "Mom... is the Dark Mother Goddess!"
One of the three immortal gods.
The black goat of the forest that gave birth to thousands of offspring was the mother who gave birth to him!
Lingpingan actually knew this a long time ago.
But he has been unwilling to admit it.
Now, the fact is right in front of him, and he doesn't want to admit it anymore.
but………
The Dark Mother Goddess alone can only give birth to monsters.
so……
Who is the father?
When Lingpingan thought this, the sticker he had been holding in his hand began to tremble.
