"But how should we find those savages?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.
"It's simple. You call Xiang Zhu and ask him where those savages are. It's impossible for their holy sect's spies to have not figured out this when they entered Shennongjia," Master Hong said.
When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he looked Hong Ye up and down: "Hong Ye, are you a drunkard who doesn't want to be in the bar?"
If Mr. Hong went with him to find savages, Lin Xiaofeng wouldn't think much about it.
But Hong Ye suddenly changed his mind and asked him to ask about the whereabouts of the savages. What did this mean?
"I won't hide it from you. This savage has absolutely nothing to do with the eternal flower." Hong Ye said, "Uncle He told me at the beginning that the spies of their holy religion just discovered the eternal flower accidentally."
"However, a big question is, after discovering the Everlasting Flower, why didn't you send someone back to look for it?" Mr. Hong looked into Lin Xiaofeng's eyes and said, "Maybe the Holy Master really doesn't want to live forever, but a treasure like the Everlasting Flower,
How can it be that the Holy Religion cannot get it?"
"In this case, there are only two possibilities."
"One possibility is that Uncle He deliberately fabricated the matter about the eternal flower to deceive me, but this possibility is relatively small."
Lin Xiaofeng asked: "Why can't it be possible that I lied to you?"
Mr. Hong said confidently: "Uncle He and I have known each other for many years. He knows me well. If he deceives me, the consequences will be very serious. What's more, I also asked someone to check. Five years ago, the Holy Church did send spies."
Secretly enter Shennongjia."
"At that time, there were hundreds of spies, but later, less than twenty spies escaped from Shennongjia. After that, the Holy Cult did not send anyone in again."
"And the more than eighty spies have also lost their traces, and their lives and deaths are unknown."
When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, curiosity appeared on his face.
Master Hong asked: "Those spies were originally to investigate the affairs of the savages, but do you think that a treasure like the eternal flower has no connection with the savages?"
"Since Uncle He didn't tell you the reason directly, it makes no sense for me to ask." Lin Xiaofeng shook his head.
"If I ask Uncle He, of course he won't tell me, but if you ask Xiang Zhu, she will definitely tell you." Mr. Hong said with a smile: "As long as you do this favor for me, you are my benefactor, no matter what happens in the future.
If you have any trouble, you can ask me for help as soon as possible!"
Although Mr. Hong was patting his chest and promising, Lin Xiaofeng didn't take it seriously.
He is seeking something from himself now, and of course he is making random promises.
After Mr. Hong gets what he wants, he may not be so "loyal" if he comes to ask for it again.
Despite this, Lin Xiaofeng still nodded and asked. It was better than wandering around in the forest, right?
He took out his cell phone and called Xiang Zhu.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hello? Have you returned to the Holy Cult?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.
"Well, I arrived early and was dealing with some internal matters." Xiang Zhu nodded and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Lin Xiaofeng said: "I want to ask about Shennongjia and what the spies you sent at that time were investigating."
"Shennongjia." Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhu put down what he was doing.
She is very busy at the moment.
After she was arrested, many people below did start to move. Fortunately, she came back in time.
"Why are you asking about this suddenly?"
Xiang Zhu walked to a deserted place and said, "This matter is a bit complicated."
"Are the savages related to the eternal flower?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.
Xiang Zhu thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, that's right."
With Xiang Zhu's intelligence, he naturally guessed that this question was also what Master Hong wanted to ask.
She said: "Please turn on the speakerphone. Since you have asked, I will tell you the secret about Shennongjia."
Lin Xiaofeng turned on the speakerphone, and Mr. Hong hurriedly came over.
"Things have to start from five years ago."
"At that time, a spy from our Holy Church was traveling in Shennongjia. He accidentally got lost and ended up in a valley."
"There is an ancient altar in this valley. At that time, the spies did not dare to go deep, so they retreated and reported the situation."
"After my father learned about it, he felt that there was something unusual about this altar, so he immediately sent a large number of people to investigate."
Mr. Hong couldn't help but interject: "Does this have anything to do with the eternal flower?"
"Of course." Xiang Zhu nodded and said, "After sending spies to the valley, they found a large number of savages."
"These savages lived in the valley, farming, plowing, and living there. Later, these spies entered the valley and started chatting with the savages."
"That's when I learned that this valley is called Savage Valley, and it has existed for a very long time. The longest period can be traced back to ancient times, the Huangdi period."
"During the Yellow Emperor's time, Shennongjia was rich in herbs, and various medicinal herbs were famous all over the world."
"Suddenly, a terrifying evil spirit entered Shennongjia and wanted to devour an eternal flower."
"In the end, this evil demon was completely sealed in the valley together with the eternal flower. The Yellow Emperor built a huge altar to trap him, and then sent a tribe to stay and guard it."
Lin Xiaofeng asked: "This tribe is those savages?"
"That's right." Xiang Zhu nodded and said: "My father was greedy at that time. He wanted to get this evil demon, so he wanted to break the seal. But as soon as he broke the seal, the evil demon almost ran out and died for more than eighty years.
A spy."
"Later, the savage tribe hurriedly opened the seal, and then reluctantly suppressed the evil demon again."
When Mr. Hong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "What kind of evil spirit? Can it be so favored by the old Holy Master that you want to help it break the seal and rescue it?"
"Jormungandr." Xiang Zhu said.
Lin Xiaofeng frowned and asked, "Why does this name sound a little familiar?"
But Mr. Hong looked like he had never heard of it at all.
Xiang Zhu reminded: "Norse mythology."
Lin Xiaofeng was shocked: "That world snake?"
When Master Hong heard this, he asked: "World snake?"
Lin Xiaofeng nodded: "There is an extremely terrifying python in Nordic mythology. In mythology, it can even wrap around the world."
Speaking of the name Jörmungandr, Lin Xiaofeng was not very familiar with it, but World Snake was very familiar with it.
In Norse mythology, the World Serpent is extremely powerful.
In mythology, Thor, the god of thunder, visited the kingdom of giants and met the local king. The king gave Thor some problems, one of which was to ask Thor to lift a cat owned by the king. He was famous for his immense strength.
Thor accepted the test. Unexpectedly, he could only lift one of the cat's feet with all his strength. This result made Thor extremely frustrated.
Finally, the king told Thor that the test along the way was a spell cast by the king. The cat he asked Thor to lift was actually the giant snake Jörmungandr.
In mythology, Jormungandr was so huge that it could wrap around the human world, hence its name.
