Chapter 5, The Spokesperson of the Old Gods
In the Chinese mythological system, the concept of gods is very complicated, for example, the Greek mythological system is very clear. Olympus is the highest god's house. Zeus, the son of the Titans, is the supreme god.
However, in Chinese mythology, who can be called the highest? Heaven? Thirty-three days away? Western Bliss? Or is it the ethereal avenue?
And in this mixed mythological system, there has been such a powerful ancient race, which can be said to be the most powerful race in the entire mythological system.
It's the old gods.
Of course, the ancient gods are completely forgotten, and their existence is not as suspicious as the ghost race, and today's supernatural circles recognize that the ancient gods do not exist, but have long since died out, because they cannot find any traces of their existence.
No words, no relics. There were no blades they had used, not even a fragment of the vessel they had left behind, and every qiē had been erased by time, or rather, it should have been erased by time.
"The Old Gods? Isn't there no zài? ”
I sneered.
"Why don't you save zài? It's just that the world thinks that it doesn't exist. Connections have always been under its care, and behind our connections are the ancient gods. ”
Laughing III doesn't look like he's bragging.
"I'll just believe it. So why is the network the weakest? Why didn't the Four Veins Martial Ancient God Clan make a move? It doesn't make sense. ”
I asked in a low voice.
"Because it's not so much the old gods who support us, but an old god, a mighty, proud giant."
Xiao Sanshi's words began to make me believe, he waved his hand as he spoke, and an attendant next to him slowly walked in front of me, holding something wrapped in a black cloth in his hand, I opened it and saw that it was a piece of metal-like thing, I reached out and touched it, the cyan metal looked like bronze at first glance, but it was touched with a faint heat, I frowned and asked, "What is this?" ”
Xiao III said in a low voice, "This is a small piece of the skin of the ancient gods, and I brought it to you." Let you believe in the existence of the ancient gods. And for you to stop the intention of making a move on me. Because I am the spokesperson of the ancient gods in this world, what I say, what I do, what I see and hear, all represent the ancient gods. ”
"What the hell do you mean?"
Xiao III's entourage put away the black cloth, and I asked.
"Do you ever feel like you're swimming in a huge lake, and as you go deeper into the lake, you see things that you don't normally see? This lake is the rivers and lakes, and we are all people of the rivers and lakes, and we gradually see the true face of this rivers and lakes. I'm swimming deeper than you, and you've finally reached this point, don't you feel the rise of the five clans at all? ”
Xiao Sanshi walked to the window as he spoke, and his words seemed to hit my heart, and I had a feeling that I was gradually seeing a deeper side of the rivers and lakes.
"The rise of the Five Clans?"
I asked, suspiciously.
"Yes, the immortals, the ghosts, the barbarians, the witches and the demons, this world is pushed by an invisible hand, as if some force wants to end the rule of mankind, to make this land back to its original state, to let the five races re-ascend the era. Have you ever thought about organizing this qiē to happen? ”
I couldn't understand Xiao Sanshi's words for a while, and I frowned and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Many years ago, when I first met the old god in the mountains, he told me that this era was being manipulated. And now, seeing the forces behind each vein of the Destiny Master, I know that the words of the ancient gods are not wrong, Wan Lin, do you think it is just a battle between the Destiny Divisions? The life master is just a puppet set up by these ancient clans in order to re-enter the stage of history, whether it is Qianyu Painting or Xing Li, in fact, they are not life masters, not even me, we are all puppets cultivated by the ancient clan. However, when I saw you today, I know that you are different from us, you have your own thinking, you have your own thoughts, so I hope you can join forces with me to help me get rid of my shackles, and I will also help you defeat the invasion of the ancient clan! ”
The more Xiao San spoke, the more excited he became, but I finally heard a little eyebrows, this grandson has turned around so much, in the final analysis, there is actually only one purpose, that is, he doesn't want to be the puppet of the so-called ancient gods behind him, but wants to be independent, and he wants to join forces with me because this grandson is not strong enough.
Hearing this, I smiled, and finally understood why he bothered so much with me.
"Actually, to put it bluntly, you want to find me as a helper, and you can't handle your ancient god behind you alone, so you want me to help, is that what you mean?"
My concluding remarks made Xiao San stunned slightly, and then nodded.
"Then since it's said, I'll also pick it out, do you a favor, what's the benefit of me?"
I asked.
"The benefits? I can help you fight the Ancients, I know them very well, I ......"
Xiao San wanted to talk at length again, so I quickly made a gesture to stop, and then said: "I know far more about the Gu Clan than you, it's not that I boast, the days I spent with the Gu Clan can be said to be incomparable to most of the supernatural people in this world. The Ancient Gods are no exception, and if the Ancient Clan really wants to deal with me, I will naturally have a way to fight back. And now it's not you who are making a deal with me, it's you who are asking me for help, am I right? ”
After the words are explained, we can continue to talk.
Xiao Sanshi's brows furrowed tightly, but he didn't say anything more and just nodded.
"So since you are here to ask me for help, you should have the gesture of begging for someone, if you don't come up with something, how can I help you?"
I asked rhetorically.
"Make a price."
Xiao III is not talking nonsense at this time.
I laughed evilly and said: "Qianyu Painting or Xing Li's head is one of the conditions, as for the other conditions, I haven't thought about it yet, if you agree, you can pick one, and I will do it myself." After that, our alliance was reached. Brother, what do you want me to help you get is an ancient god, at least ten zhang tall, or taller, what kind of existence does the ancient god have? That's a storage zài that feeds on monsters, uses rivers as ponds, and uses mountains and rivers as tables and chairs, you let me do such a powerful guy, I have to show some sincerity. ”
Negotiating this kind of thing, in fact, is not to say that a lot of things are not there, and then make it very mysterious to have the upper hand.
To put it bluntly, it is still necessary to focus on anti-customers and figure out who asks whom. It is estimated that the acres are dead.
"A Thousand Words Painting."
As soon as Xiao III opened his mouth to say this, I smiled slightly: "Okay, if you bring his head to me in three days, we will join forces." In order to show my strength, I will also get Xing Li's head, and we will see you in three days. By the way, can you give me this skin of the old god? Take it back and frame it as a souvenir, it's a rarity. ”
I asked with a grin, and Xiao III gave his retinue a look, who handed me the black cloth.
I arched my hand and walked out of the room.
After going downstairs, Daqi looked at me strangely, and when I got into the car, he asked, "It's over so soon?" ”
"What a strange thing you say. I didn't do it, this grandson wanted to join forces with me, I asked him to slaughter Qianyu Painting in three days, and we killed Xing Li in three days, which can be regarded as an alliance. Let's drive first and go find Xue Ping. ”
I got the skin of the ancient god in my hand, this is a treasure, of course it won't really be framed, I want to use this thing to seduce Xue Ping and get some knowledge from him.
Xing Li must be a member of the ghost clan, not a life master, so I definitely can't deal with him in the same way as a life master, because I haven't seriously dealt with people from the ghost clan, so it's better to ask an expert.
"Boy, where did you get this thing?"
As soon as Xue Ping saw the skin of the ancient god I brought, his eyes immediately lit up, and I said with a smile: "This is the skin of the ancient god, alive!" ”
Xue Ping snatched the skin of the ancient god, and then asked without raising his head: "You must have something to ask me, just say it." ”
I leaned in and whispered, "I'm going to kill a guy from the Oni Clan, can you help?" ”
Hearing this, Xue Ping turned his head in surprise, but the stubborn old guy had a "you're kidding" expression on his face at this time!
