After the Fairy Disappeared - Chapter 330
Hey, this fish has seeds in its belly. Put it on the fire and roast it, it is delicious!
He expresses disgust with action. Dong Rui was furious, but there was nothing he could do. After the meal, he found leaves of grass, woven a mask for himself and put it on, finally covering the lower half of his face.
The two had just finished their meal when Zhu Erniang came.
He Lingchuan held up the remaining fish and asked it: “Do you want to try my cooking?”
Zhu Erniang refused. It likes to **** jelly and can eat raw meat, but hates any cooked food. “Come with me after eating, and I will find you a place to experiment.”
Dong Rui pointed to the abandoned house behind Long Beach: “Isn’t it possible here?”
“If there is another big flood, this place will be submerged.” Zhu Erniang said, “You have also walked under the water. The city was originally above the water level.”
The two had no choice but to follow, Dong Rui couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we?”
“This is the Demon’s Nest Swamp, a no-man’s land on the border between Beja and Fu, but it doesn’t belong to any country.”
Fu country?
The two looked at each other, and He Lingchuan gasped: “Isn’t that on the east side of Beja?”
He slept hundreds of miles in one sleep? !
Han River actually sent him all the way here.
He Lingchuan tentatively asked: “You didn’t originally live in the Ghost Needle Forest, why did you move to the Demon’s Nest Swamp thousands of miles away?”
Zhu Erniang snorted: “Back then, Baling Kingdom fought with Panlong City, and the flames of war were set on my territory. I was so angry that I killed the generals of Panlong City. Panlong City always came to make trouble later on. I couldn’t bear it, so I had to move.”
He Lingchuan suddenly realized when he heard this.
Yes, in reality, Zhu Erniang killed General Nan Ke in Panlong City, so she will not be tolerated by General Red. When Panlong City wins the battle of Weicheng, it will come back to deal with it.
Zhu Erniang’s forced move is also reasonable, and maybe she suffered a lot of trouble in the middle, because it didn’t expand to elaborate.
This is completely different from the direction in the dream. In the dream of Dafanghu, because He Lingchuan burned down its ground nest farm in time, Zhu Erniang rushed back to the lair, and General Nan Ke was able to escape. Therefore, Panlong City did not have a deep hatred with it. Afterwards, General Red asked it to light up Muscle, the previous agreement was restored, and Zhu Erniang didn’t need to move.
In the future, will there be more and more differences between dreams and real history?
” I lived in the country of Beja for a while, and felt that it was boring, so I went straight down the Han River and finally settled here. “An old monster like it is not used to life in the demon country of later generations.
He Lingchuan asked about the origin of the underwater city: “Did the residents leave because the water level rose?”
“How can it be so simple?” Zhu Erniang said, “This was originally the territory of the Jiana tribe. They lived in seclusion. At its peak, it was said that there were tens of thousands of people. The strong came out in large numbers, and there were miracles. It is said that They also guarded the treasures given by the gods. Later, monsters fell from the sky and killed them all. A few decades later, the water level of the swamp rose, and their former residence was submerged again.”
She was leading the two of them out of the abandoned town, but when walking past the tallest building, He Lingchuan saw the statue inside through the open gate.
The statue was carved from a single piece of granite, and the height exceeded three feet. It is not easy to find such a large and well-rounded boulder in the swamp, and it is even more difficult to transport it.
…
There were no trees in front of the building, and a ray of sunlight happened to pass through and shine on the statue.
It turns out that the building located at the highest point in the entire city is a temple?
He Lingchuan let out a long sigh, made a wrong step, and walked in.
The interior of this exotic-style temple building is spacious and has been eroded by wind and water for more than a hundred years. Although moss is overgrown, most of the white stone floor tiles are flat and intact.
The tribute table has long been decayed and invisible, only a small piece of ground in front of the statue is sunken downwards, which is obviously the result of years of prostration by devout believers.
He Lingchuan stood here, looking up at the statue.
This is a goddess, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a face full of compassion. Her eyes are slightly lowered, and she is looking at
The believers under the seat are holding a treasure pot in their hands, with dragons soaring around them, and evil spirits under their feet.
Although the vines are entangled, it reduces the majesty it once had.
He Lingchuan looked at it with shock in his eyes.
Zhu Erniang and Dong Rui also came in: “What?”
” Is this the **** worshiped by the Kana people? “
“That’s right, they believe in the moon god.” Zhu Erniang said slowly, “This is the moon **** that Kana has believed in for generations. It’s a pity that they couldn’t protect them from monsters chasing their lives.”
Luna? He Lingchuan was confused for a moment, this is clearly Mi Tian!
Panlong City is enshrined in the gods of the whole city, Mitian Empress.
He has entered and exited the dreamland so many times, of course he has been to Mitian Temple. The Mitian God enshrined there is slightly different from this one in appearance and demeanor, but he will never admit his mistake.
What’s more, he had just seen this face in a dream before.
Red General!
Although the Red General has an indifferent face, this goddess statue has a compassionate face, but the facial features are at least 70% similar, especially the iconic pair of brown phoenix eyes.
Thousands of miles apart, the patron saint of Panlong City actually had followers in the depths of the Demon’s Nest Swamp, and he even changed his name?
He had no choice but to ask Zhu Erniang: “How much do you know about this moon god?”
“How would I know?” Zhu Erniang knocked on the ground, “When I came, this place was already deserted.”
Dong Rui also wondered: “Then how do you know that the Jana clan was wiped out by monsters?”
“Strictly speaking, it’s not an extermination of the family. Some of their descendants fled and moved to the edge of the Demon’s Nest Swamp.” Zhu Erniang touched her round belly with her paw, “Before I eat my prey, I like to chat with them. Listen to something interesting.”
Again, life in the swamp is too boring, it is a big monster who likes to listen to stories.
He Lingchuan, Dong Rui: “.”
Really need to get away as soon as possible.
He Lingchuan’s heart moved: “Then, do you know which year the Jiana tribe was exterminated?”
Zhu Erniang stood still, trying to calculate in her head, and finally said after a while: “Well, if the descendants of the Jiana tribe remember correctly, it should be one hundred and seventy-four today, no… one hundred and seventy-two years ago.”
One hundred and seventy-two years ago? Isn’t that the seventeenth year of the Panlong calendar?
That is, one or two years after the Chifeng mine incident.
While Panlong City, under the protection of Mitian, was flourishing, the Jana people who believed in it were almost wiped out.
They are so close in time, what is the connection between the two?
「Have you ever seen the Mitian statue enshrined in Panlong City?」
…
“Of course not.” Zhu Erniang was dissatisfied, “Do you think I can enter Panlong City like this? Why, what is the relationship between the two?”
“It’s so similar.” He Lingchuan just answered casually, but Zhu Erniang was even more casual: “What’s so strange? Many gods have more than one image and title in the world. “
Is that so?
Two people and one spider left the ruins of the Kana tribe and walked into the thick jungle.
After several miles, the terrain got higher and higher, and the two were forced to climb halfway up the mountain.
A large piece of ground subsidence in front of it is actually an irregular tiankeng, with a maximum diameter of about ten feet and a deep depth. The rock walls are covered with calamus and small trees.
Zhu Erniang pointed to the sinkhole and said, “Here we are.”
He Lingchuan raised his eyes and saw the shadows in the forest, all of which were spiders swaying, and knew that Zhu Erniang was not at all at ease with them.
In the territory of the crypt spiders, even the eels obediently paid tribute to them. Unless the two of them had wings, it would be difficult for them to escape.
At this time, even He Lingchuan couldn’t help but miss the benefits of Dong Rui’s strange bird.
Dong Rui was also looking up at the sky, wondering if he felt the same emotion.
At this moment, Zhu Erniang raised her front paws and suddenly pushed them down the tiankeng—
It moved extremely fast, and shot from behind, even He Lingchuan didn’t dodge it.
With a “plop”, Dong Rui fell into the water, and He Ling
Chuan turned over in the air and jumped onto a small tree on the edge of the cliff.
The water in the tiankeng is very clear, but it is bottomless.
Dong Rui was splashing in the water, and Zhu Erniang’s figure stood on the edge of the tiankeng: “My children will lead you to the laboratory, where everything is available, just tell them if you need anything. Although the terrain below is complicated, the exit is only this way.” One, I advise you not to play tricks, or you will watch yourself being sucked dry bit by bit!”
He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other and shuddered.
Sure enough, there is a passage by the water, which goes deep into the hinterland of the mountain, and there are more than a dozen spiders guarding the entrance of the cave.
When Dong Rui waded through the water, He Lingchuan also jumped to the entrance of the cave without getting wet.
The two walked in, and there were two little spiders leading the way.
Dong Rui pouted the water in his mouth: “Sure enough, it is worried about us, hey, do you still have the red potion you stole from me?”
He asked twice, but He Lingchuan didn’t answer, just looked around.
The tiankeng is not independent, but connected to a karst cave, and there will be a fork after a short walk. But the little spider seems to be very familiar with this place, leading the way without hesitation.
“Hey, you…” It’s just an ordinary cave, what’s so interesting about it?
The gaps in the rock wall are covered with soft grass and fungi, and the sound of water is often heard all the way down, and it will eventually flow into the tiankeng.
He Lingchuan said suddenly: “There is something weird here.”
They were thrown into the tiankeng by a spider demon. Dong Rui said angrily, “Is there anything not weird?”
The cave is opaque to the sky. Fortunately, the crypt spider transplanted fluorescent spores into it, which acted as street lights, and the passage was quite bright.
“Touch this stone wall.”
Dong Rui stretched out his hand to caress the cave wall, but it was not very hard, as if it was covered with a thin layer of soft skin, and the color was slightly ocher.
Moss growing on the stone wall? He took a closer look, and found that there were no traces of vines growing on the rocks, everywhere.
「Strange, there is still this kind of stone?」
And He Lingchuan was busy hiding his shock, so he didn’t have time to talk.
The little spider who led the way turned a few corners and led the two of them to a stone room:
“arrive.”
There are several spider demon guards here, so it retreated.
