Chapter 250 The Puzzling Secret
"Oh?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"He is willing to see me, it seems that before I come, he already knows that I will come?"
Originally, he thought that after he came, he would have to spend a lot of time talking, or at least he would have to talk about this matter a few times, but he didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, and he agreed directly.
When Miao Long heard Xu Bai say this, he showed a bitter smile, and said: "Prince Xu, what you said is serious. In today's Great Chu Kingdom, you can see whoever you want, and no one can stop you. You actually want to know about this matter, so we can't have the slightest hesitation."
"I know you must have doubts in your heart, why we didn't take the initiative to mention it, but when it comes to this aspect, I can only say that everyone has their own secrets, and secrets are not willing to be mentioned to others."
Xu Bai rubbed his chin, already understood in his heart.
This meaning, he also understood.
The other party obviously didn't want these things to be known by others, but when this matter has been exposed, it is difficult to hide it no matter how hard it is.
Paper cannot contain fire.
If other people know about it, they may still have room to turn around, or choose not to agree, or do something else, but this matter was known to Xu Bai, which is another way of saying it.
Now, in the whole world, is there anyone who can stop Prince Xu?
Prince Xu wants to know something, and everyone in the world has to agree.
"So, you think I'm forcing you, I won't do such a thing." Xu Bai frowned.
He is very principled, and he has always adhered to this principle since he entered this circle.
Everyone in the circle also knows his temper. As long as they are familiar with him, they know that what he does is a business, and everyone is honest. When you come to me, what you pay attention to is an exchange. .
Now the meaning of these words is as if he is forcing them to force them. Isn't he a villain?
Hearing this, Miao Long also knew that Xu Bai was a little unhappy now, so he hurriedly cupped his hands and apologized: "Prince Xu, you misunderstood us, we dare not say anything else, but I can assure you about this matter, you did not force us to We did it, because we told him about you, he thought about it for a long time, and agreed."
"Voluntary?" Xu Bai glanced at Miao Long.
Miao Long nodded quickly: "That's right, it's voluntary."
Xu Bai waved his hand: "Then hurry up and lead the way, don't smudge any more, I'm very tight this time, and I have to wipe the sweat off your forehead, I'm not a bad person, I'm usually very kind of."
Miao Long was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that his forehead was already covered with dense sweat, which was left just now.
Amiable?
The blood butcher swordsman actually said he was kind?
Everyone in the world knows Xu Bai's temper, his capricious character, and even the origin of the words "blood slaughter swordsman".
Now the blood butcher swordsman actually said that he is kind, which is simply unbelievable. Of course, Miao Long dare not say these things.
"Then, Lord Xu please come with me." Miao Long quickly turned around, stretched out his hand to guide Xu Bai, and was about to lead the way.
Xu Bai nodded and silently followed behind Miao Long.
The two walked into the hall one after the other.
As for the remaining few people, they stayed outside, pretending to be closely guarded.
After entering the main hall, the inside was empty, but the decoration was extraordinarily luxurious.
Xu Bai looked at the Miaojiao hall which was different from his impression, while walking slowly.
Under the leadership of Miao Long, he quickly passed through the hall and came to the backyard.
The backyard is also very spacious, with clean and tidy floor tiles everywhere, and the houses around the backyard are also full of style.
"Go through here and go up the mountain, we will arrive soon." Miao Long was worried that Xu Bai would get bored of walking, so he turned around and explained to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai nodded, and said, don't worry about yourself, just continue to lead the way.
After receiving Xu Bai's response, Miao Long felt relieved, stopped talking nonsense, and continued walking ahead.
Through this backyard, there is a straight mountain road. The steps of the mountain road are so exquisitely built that people feel that they have spent a lot of money at a glance.
Because all the buildings of the Miao Sect are built against the mountains, when Xu Bai stepped onto this staircase, he could see the outlines of some buildings from time to time.
Fortunately, I didn't meet anyone along the way, so I didn't delay much time. About half an hour later, I finally came to the end of this road.
Not far ahead, there is a dense jungle. If you look at it from the outside, you can't see anything strange.
When Xu Bai saw this jungle, he subconsciously unfolded his soul, scanned it with his soul, and soon got the answer.
Through the scanning of the soul, one can feel that in the secret place of the jungle, an old man is sitting cross-legged on the ground.
In front of the old man, there is a lonely grave.
There is a tablet in front of the tomb, but there is no name engraved on it, but some indecipherable characters. These characters are not the characters of the Great Chu Kingdom, so Xu Bai can't understand them.
But as the soul swept across, Xu Bai could sense that even the incomprehensible words on it were conveying messages to him one after another.
"This is the law of asking God?"
As the saying goes, comprehend by analogy.
Xu Bai himself has the method of invoking gods at the holy level, and in this line of work, he is already considered a top existence.
So when he scanned with his soul, although he didn't sense the existence of the progress bar, he was able to understand the content on it, and this content revealed a message.
—Please God!
The method of inviting God above is different from the method he has mastered, but another method of inviting God.
The so-called another kind of inviting the gods is not asking the gods to go to the body, nor is it asking the gods to come to the side. To be precise, this method of inviting the gods is to kill the gods after inviting the gods to take away the power of the gods.
Of course, even if Xu Bai is a master at this, he still can't grasp everything, so he just looked around.
But his interest has already picked up, especially when he thinks about what big secrets are waiting for him to discover next, he becomes more excited.
Miao Long was still walking ahead, he suddenly felt something was wrong, turned his head to look back, and saw Xu Bai's expression was a little excited.
"Prince Xu, this is..."
He was a little puzzled. Originally, Xu Bai's expression was normal along the way, but why he suddenly became so excited, which was a bit abnormal.
Xu Bai hummed, but waved his hand without saying a word.
Miao Long also knew that Xu Bai didn't want to say more at this time, he just felt a little curious, but Xu Bai didn't say anything, and he didn't have the leisure to inquire, and continued to lead the way ahead.
The two continued to walk, walking through the dense forest, and finally stopped after walking for a while.
"Here, Lord Xu, it's inside." Miao Long pointed to the front and said.
At first, it was Xu Bai who scanned the scene with his soul, but now, Xu Bai witnessed all this with his own eyes.
Not far away, the old man turned his back to them, still sitting cross-legged on the ground, guarding the tomb in front of him.
"You guys chat first. After the chat, Lord Xu can go back the same way, and I won't bother you."
Miao Long is sensible, and he is also very discerning. He knew that it was not appropriate to stay here at this time, so he turned around and left.
After Miao Long left, the place became a bit deserted. The old man kept his back to Xu Bai, and didn't speak, as if he was waiting for Xu Bai to speak first.
Xu Bai touched his chin: "This atmosphere is really well created."
The dense forest environment is very deep, coupled with a lonely grave and an old man, it gives people an inexplicable sense of oppression, but all this is not a problem for Xu Bai.
Since he remained silent, he came to break the silence, for a very simple reason.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai stepped forward and came directly to the old man.
Before he could speak, his gaze narrowed slightly, and he noticed something was wrong.
"Why does it feel familiar?"
Xu Bai looked at the old man in front of him, walking back and forth.
The old man kept his eyes open, staring at the tombstone in front of him, without saying a word, he let Xu Bai look at him, as if he didn't see Xu Bai.
And this old man gave Xu Bai an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He could confirm that he had never seen this old man before, and that the old man was old, and the wrinkles on his face were like interlaced ravines. Can remember.
So Xu Bai can confirm that he should not have seen this old man.
But what about that inexplicable sense of familiarity?
Xu Bai didn't speak, just stared at the old man's facial features, the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
Originally, he wanted to speak, but when he looked at it like this, he fell into deep thought.
At this moment, the old man's eyes finally turned and fell on Xu Bai.
"Prince Xu... right?"
When the old man said this, Xu Bai recovered from his contemplation, and nodded slowly.
"Old man, why do I think you look familiar?"
It's all about this, so naturally there is something to say, Xu Bai doesn't want to be sloppy, let alone make some twists and turns, he likes the straightforward way very much.
When the old man heard Xu Bai's inexplicable words, he didn't show any surprised expression. Instead, he looked very ordinary: "Then I guess I have seen it..."
The old man's answer just now was a bit vague. Xu Bai pressed forward, without giving the old man any chance to maneuver, and asked the reason directly.
The old man's eyes were cloudy, and he looked like he was dying: "Prince Xu...Maybe it's not me, maybe it's my ancestors, um... To be precise, Lord Xu should have seen my ancestors when they were young. "
Xu Bai's eyes gradually focused: "Let's get to the point, I don't like to guess."
The more he followed the old man, the more mysterious he said, Xu Bai didn't think it was necessary.
The old man was very calm at first, but after Xu Bai said these words, he was also slightly stunned, and finally sighed: "That kid Miao Long said that Prince Xu's temper is very strange, I finally realized it now, so I won't keep it to myself , Prince Xu probably saw my ancestors in the ruins."
Remains?
Ancestor?
Xu Bai heard these words, and quickly came back to his senses. He finally understood why he looked so familiar to this old man.
The facial features of this old man are very similar to the group of saviors I met when I entered the ruins last time.
And what the old man resembles is the person who leads the savior, that is, the person who has the ability of spirit and soul.
"Are you a descendant of the savior?" Xu Bai frowned.
No matter how you look at it, this condition is met, and Xu Bai feels more and more that this matter has become more important.
The old man's eyes showed nostalgia: "The savior... It's really a familiar title, Lord Xu, I knew you could find it, you must have come into contact with it, it seems that I guessed right."
"You have come into contact with these in the ruins, so how do you think the saviors saved the world, did they become food, or reversed the resource-exhausted environment?"
Xu Bai rubbed his chin with his palm: "I don't know how to save the world. Anyway, I know that it all failed in the end."
This is also true. He really doesn't know how it came about, but it must have failed, otherwise it would not be possible to become the current situation.
The old man nodded and admitted that what Xu Bai said was correct: "It is indeed a failure. Only a few saviors survived, and this bloodline has continued. Lord Xu, do you know that even people of that era For us, we have always passed on this mission, I know, you really want to know some secrets, so please tell me."
Xu Bai fell silent after hearing the words.
By this time, the amount of information is too great, and he doesn't know how to speak.
But all this is not a big problem.
Xu Bai raised his head, and said slowly: "Why don't you tell me everything you know, let's start with the follow-up development..."
elder:_
To be honest, the old man has lived for such a long time, and he has met many people, but he has never seen anyone like Xu Bai.
Co-author You came to ask something, I haven’t figured out how to ask, and I need to say everything, is this appropriate?
But after thinking about it carefully, the old man also knows that Xu Bai has such a temper. After all, people in the world have now figured out Xu Bai's character.
"Alas..." the old man sighed silently: "I don't have many days to live, if that's the case, then tell Prince Xu all about it."
In the dense woods, the old man's voice sounded. This voice matched the quiet environment, but it seemed a bit atmospheric.
…
It took nearly half an hour to say this, and during this half hour, Xu Bai received a huge amount of information, and he was also quickly sorting through the received information.
When the last word was finished, the old man closed his mouth.
Xu Bai's complexion was a bit complicated, and he looked at the old man in front of him with an inexplicable emotion.
He has already understood the cause and effect, and this matter has to start with the team of the savior back then.
The saviors huddled together in order to avoid being killed, and then, because of one incident, they suffered a devastating blow.
In order to save a baby girl, they acted rashly. Due to the reason of the act, some people in the industry noticed and chased them all the way.
Those people in the industry are extraordinary masters, but at that time, this group of saviors only had the realm of transformation.
When a group of mortal realms are hunted down by superhuman beings, there is really only one dead end.
Fortunately, this group of saviors have super strength, so after suffering heavy losses, they finally escaped.
Xu Bai is very clear about this content, isn't this the follow-up of the original Gaoguan?
Xu Bai thought that there was no way for these saviors to escape, but unexpectedly, they managed to escape in the end.
After this group of saviors escaped, they became more low-key. Every day, they secretly went to find other companions, absorbed them into their own team, and then developed silently.
In this way, nearly half a month passed, and many things happened during that half month, for example, a holy master in the deep mountains and old forests was beheaded by other holy masters.
Not only that, but another master who became a saint was also seriously injured and disappeared.
"They really did this." Xu Bai thought.
Three members of Mo Fa Pavilion became saints, and Tu there also had two became saints. At home, there was a sect master who invited gods. In order to invite an unknown god, these guys actually slaughtered other holy masters.
There are nine saints in the world, and more than half of them are combined together, so it is a great blow to the other saints.
Later, they really succeeded, and in the end, there were only six saints left in the world.
Due to the exhaustion of resources, no one can step in for a short time.
Originally, these things were a good thing for the saviors, because it meant that they had fewer enemies, but they never expected that their disaster would finally come.
The six saints are crazy, looking for a savior and imprisoning them.
The small group that hugged each other could only keep hiding in this crazy search.
Just like that, after nearly half a month, finally, the six masters of the sages used these saviors to open the invitation to God!
No one knows what happened that day, they only know that on that day, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and soon, all the holy masters died.
No one knows how these masters who became saints died, but on that day, the world was in chaos.
Mofa Pavilion and Tu fell apart, and the whole world became a mess, with killings and darkness everywhere.
These people in the industry are doing all kinds of weird things for resources.
The saviors are lingering in such an environment.
In the end, this bloodline was continued.
What the old man said came to an abrupt end here.
But Xu Bai knew that there were still some things that he didn't explain clearly.
"How did the resources disappear? How did they recover? And how did you survive? What is your purpose now?"
These are the most important clues. For some past history, it is just history after all. What we really need to do is to find clues from these histories.
The old man smiled wryly: "The resources have been exhausted inexplicably, and then recovered inexplicably. I don't know why."
"When all resources are exhausted, all people become ordinary people. They have the lifespan that ordinary people should have, and finally...all die."
"Without resources, not even food, even those saviors can't survive."
"But in the end, the saviors found a way to survive."
"They start killing each other because they are resources themselves, and they are also crazy, only part of them remains rational."
"My ancestor, leading the people he gathered, guarded against the invasion of other saviors, but in the end... in order to survive..."
Speaking of this, the old man stopped talking, with grief in his eyes.
Xu Bai is very clear about the meaning behind .
Even if the resources are exhausted, the saviors themselves are the resources. Under mutual cannibalism, even the ancestors of this old man began to follow this method.
"So, this is the last way to continue?" Xu Bai said.
"Yes." The old man sighed: "Using this method, I have been lingering for a while, and finally, the resources began to recover inexplicably, and at that time, there were very few saviors left, but at that time, the ancestors It was discovered that everything started from scratch, and human beings appeared again, and began to develop gradually at an extremely fast speed.
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.
According to the old man, everything goes round and round and starts from scratch.
How does he feel, this is like a circle, never having a head and an end.
"Later..." The old man didn't know what Xu Bai was thinking, and continued to say: "The ancestors suddenly understood their true responsibility, so they began to take on the path of enlightening people."
Xu Bai suddenly raised his head: "You mean that the people in the industry today are all taught by the saviors in the past."
The old man nodded, and said unabashedly: "Yes, the savior taught those people his own abilities, and continued to evolve to the current prosperous situation. Our blood as the savior has always been very clear .”
"And we found that no matter how hard the savior tried, he couldn't be sanctified. Only then did we know that this might be the life of the savior."
"Where am I the savior of the world, we are just playing a small role in fueling the flames when the world starts from scratch."
Xu Bai didn't speak, he just looked at the old man in front of him.
There is a lot of information today, and he needs to think about it, but not now.
Because now, he has to make the last confirmation, which is to confirm whether the old man has told lies.
"Old man, although this is a little impolite, I still want to say it." Xu Bai said: "Let go of your fascination, let me find out if what you said is true or not."
The old man was not irritated by this unreasonable request, but showed a relaxed look: "It should be so, but before that, I have one more thing to tell Lord Xu, otherwise Lord Xu will have to come again in the end."
Xu Bairao said with interest: "Please tell me."
