Mystery Leaks

Chapter 499 Xiangyou's Eight Heads

Although I had a premonition, my heart trembled when I knew the final answer.

When I was chatting with Fatty Huang Mao before, I once talked about the totem of the island, Yamata no Orochi.

Different from the totem worshiped by Dongtu, what Dongtu worships is dragon. All dynasties have used dragon as their totem. The clothes worn by emperors are called dragon robes, and the chairs are called dragon chairs, which are called real dragon emperors.

Although the islands are deeply influenced by the Eastern culture, their totem has never wavered. Their totem has always been a monster snake with eight heads, named Yamato no Orochi.

There is no doubt that this is a very powerful existence, deterring one side and making the islanders submit to its feet, it is the supreme demon god.

But such a thing is not a good kind in the historical records of Dongtu Faxing.

It has a name, Xiangyou.

A subordinate of the water god Gonggong, one of the last thirteen ancestor witches.

The era in which it lived was before the Fuxi god, and Fashixing has a very clear record of this.

Xiangyou, also known as Xiangliu, is a monster and a snake. He is worshiped under the command of the water god Gonggong. Under the guidance of Gonggong's witchcraft, he breaks away from the road of transforming into a dragon. He gradually grows nine heads and becomes his right and left hand.

Like the tyrannical Gonggong, Xiangyou hates the human race, and it finds excuses to eat up everything it goes, and turns the land into a swamp, and the water in the swamp becomes poisonous and undrinkable. Wherever it goes, it turns into a miasma, and only rats, ants and poisonous insects can survive.

After Gonggong knocked down Buzhou Mountain, it disappeared without a trace with the rest of the Wu Clan. Xiangyou was abandoned because he was not a Wu Clan, but he didn't know how to restrain himself and continued to endanger the world. In Yunmeng Swamp, Xiangyou was defeated and had one of his heads beheaded.

Later, under the mediation of the Yaozu, Xiangyou saved his life and was exiled to Fusang Wilderness in the north of the East China Sea, which is now the island.

As a result, one of the nine-headed Xiangyou was beheaded, leaving only eight heads, but it was still powerful. It turned its hands into clouds and covered its hands with rain, and became the totem of the island for thousands of years.

I am very concerned about the history of the end of mythology, and the origin of King Baqi is naturally familiar.

But what I'm not sure about is that King Baqi wants to go through the age of mythology to the end of the Dharma Age for an unknown number of years, and he is still alive?

If this is the case, it can be compared with the magic dragon.

Because of the historical records of its appearance, it is almost the same era as the Demon King, and it is also the fairy court period of the two generations of Fuxi and Nuwa.

So when I heard Sai Yuer mention Xiangyou's name, my heart couldn't help trembling. From her tone, it seemed that Baqi Wang Xiangyou hadn't turned dust into dust and was still alive.

"Is it still alive?" I asked hastily.

"It's not sure yet." Sai Yuer said, and then told me what happened in detail.

It turned out that Baqi Wang Xiangyou's records in Fashixing were all in the prehistoric era, and they were never recorded again later. Fashixing has almost determined that it cannot survive the passage of time, and has exhausted its lifespan at a certain period and has passed away.

But just a week ago, a valley on the island that had been banned by the royal family for more than 2000 years suddenly burst into the sky with demonic aura, as if it was about to destroy the world. Hundreds of people witnessed that there was a big snake in the demonic aura, with a total of eight heads, very similar to the one in the legend. phase Yao.

That incident caused the entire village to disappear, and it was unclear whether they were swallowed by Xiang Yao, or sacrificed to appease the newly awakened Xiang Yao.The island's officials and the law firm are trying their best to cover up the incident, but it is still inevitable that it will spread.

As a result, whether Xiang Yao survived or not began to be discussed again.

The mainstream view now is that the nobles of the island have always had some form of connection with King Baqi, otherwise King Baqi would not wake up in the place banned by them.

This is why Sai Yu'er reminded me that after that incident, the Huamu family and the Zuomu family entered the eastern land and rushed to the western border, and the purpose is currently unknown.

These two incidents are connected in series, and it is difficult to guarantee that behind Sagi and Hanaki Sakura, there is no shadow of Baqi Wang Xiangyao.

I was speechless for a while, and said: "How could this happen? Everything in the age of mythology returns to ashes. Xiangyou's strength is not considered top-notch, so he shouldn't be able to live to this day?"

"This is also one of the reasons why Fashixing can't figure it out." Sai Yu'er said, and then said: "So don't act rashly until you figure it out. At present, this matter is only spread in a small range among the senior management of Fashixing. There are very few people, and I just got the news."

"Okay, I understand." I agreed, I didn't expect to call Sai Yuer, but I got such amazing news.

After saying a few more words, he hung up the phone.

"What's going on?" Hu Lai's yellow-haired fat man and others had already been aroused by curiosity when they heard my words, and surrounded them.

So I told the island about the suspected Eight-Different King's awakening.

Several people were shocked. Cao Nan was the most direct, slapping the steering wheel and swearing: "Fuck, is it true or not, that Laoshizi Yamata no Orochi is still alive?"

"It shouldn't be, such a long time, and it's still at the end of the law, how can it survive?" Huangmao scratched his head, and said: "Could it be possible that it also learned from the magic dragon and cut itself? But the problem is, it and the magic dragon It’s not a level of existence at all.”

"It is said that the thousand-year-old tortoise is 8-year-old, and the magic dragon is a kind of turtle, which is a kind of tortoise. It has immeasurable merits and virtues on the back of the fairy mountain. It is considered a blessing and understandable to survive to this day after cutting itself with a knife; but This Xiangyou is an evil existence, how can He De live so long?" Hu Lai was also very surprised, with a look of disbelief.

We looked at each other, and then turned our attention to Fatty at the same time.In terms of knowledge, we don't have as much knowledge as him.

"It's very strange, and it doesn't make sense." The fat man was suspicious, and after pondering for a while, he said: "If Xiangyou is still alive, the only possibility is that the witch god Gonggong gave it the secret method of longevity, otherwise it is absolutely impossible."

"Secret method of the witch clan?" Hu Lai was surprised.

"Baqi Wang Xiangyou is a subordinate of Wushen Gonggong. He was expelled from the Eastern Land and exiled to the wild land of Fusang. Maybe before leaving, he taught Xiangyou the witch clan's longevity technique." Fatty nodded and said, "Of course, this is just a guess. The most important thing at present is to confirm whether King Baqi is really alive or not."

"Witches have longevity?" I asked, curious about this.

"Yes, although the witch clan is a sub-god clan, it has its own uniqueness. There are many secret methods, which are transformed by the spirit of the ancient gods who created the world. At the beginning, there were twelve ancestor witches, who survived from the barbaric era to the late mythical era. Zhou Shan, everyone's longevity is astonishingly long, they can be called immortal." The fat man said.

I nodded, that's true.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches have existed since the creation of Pangu. After the entire mythological era, from the beginning of the Dragon and Han Dynasty to the Lich Tribulation, to the end of the wilderness, the opening of the fairy garden, and finally to the beginning of the Dharma, they completely disappeared from the world.

Moreover, witchcraft is known as the sect of all laws in the world.

The reason why the Human Race was able to climb to the top and overwhelm the Monster Race was that it was supported by the Witch Clan, and it was also possible to annex it. In the transaction with the Witch Clan, the Witch Clan's orthodoxy was gradually formed, and it has continued to this day.

"If that thing is really the Eight-Different King Xiangyao, I'm afraid there will be some turmoil in the future. It was mediocre in the age of mythology, at most it was considered a fierce monster, but it is old and alive to this day, and its strength must be earth-shattering. It is by no means an ordinary ghost king. Comparable." The fat man said.

My scalp felt numb all of a sudden, Xiangyao is a murderous animal with eight heads, it is not an easy task to feed him.

The most important thing is that it was beheaded and then exiled to the wild island. Once this kind of resentment flares up, it might kill back to the east.

If so, who in the world can stop it?
Thinking of this possibility, I can't help but get chills down my spine, do I count on the court?
We all thought of this possibility, and were silent for a while.

After a long time, Huang Mao said: "Don't think about it so much, this matter is just a shadow after all, there is no conclusion yet, besides, even if the sky falls, there are still Taoists and Buddhists, they will not sit idly by of,"

I nodded, that's all I can think of right now.

Speaking of this, I immediately felt that the trip to Faming Temple should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and there should be no delay.At the very least, it must be clear how much strength Buddhism still has so far, and how many times it can withstand the possible invasion of ancient monsters.

We were all a little worried when we suddenly learned of such bad news, and the rest of the journey couldn't help but be silent.

Some people may say that this is unfounded worry, the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, this world is very safe, go to sleep.

But what I want to say is that the longer you stay in the law firm, the more you experience and know, the more you understand a truth.

Survival has never been something that comes easily.

It is a luxury, but the peaceful life paralyzes most people's nerves, and they don't have enough awareness of the crisis.

Today's human race is complacent in the so-called "modern civilization" era, lacking the most basic thirst for knowledge about the past and the future, blindly covering up.The conditions for maintaining all of this are too harsh, and they will face huge turbulence or even disaster at any time, and the human race lacks this kind of resistance.

……

A day later, we arrived in the small town.

The contact station of Fashihang is an antique hotel, although it is not big, it has a special charm.

Sai Yuer asked us to rest here, she tried to contact the Iron Head Buddha and would let me know as soon as she had any news.

We stayed here, cleaned up the dust we had spent in the desert for more than ten days, and filled our hungry stomachs beautifully.

The six people opened their stomachs and ate wildly, especially Xiong Da, who had a big appetite, and swallowed three roasted lambs alone. I don't know how their stomachs can hold so much.

After that, I waited for three days, and I gradually became a little anxious. Various reasons prevented me from postponing my visit to Faming Temple.

It wasn't until the fourth day that Sai Yuer finally got a message, saying that the Iron Head Buddha had returned the message, telling me to go to a place called Lingfeng Mountain in the north of Qinghai to find a monk named Mingyuan, and where would he pick me up? Faming Temple.

It's hard for her to say the specifics, so let me go and see.

After hanging up the phone, I immediately searched for the information of that place, and found that there were no mountains and rivers there, and even Lingfeng Mountain was just a provincial natural scenic spot, not very majestic.

Hu Lai, the yellow-haired fat man and others were also there, and they couldn't explain clearly, so they asked me to set off immediately.Sai Yuer said let me go alone.

So I set off by car and rushed to Qinghai.

The road was full of wind and dust, and when we found Lingfeng Mountain at 3 taels, it was three days later.

I inquired all the way, and finally found out that the monk Mingyuan often went to a small town for alms.

If you find a small town, it is not so much a town as a larger mountain village, a very remote one, with black stones everywhere, and it is difficult to see a few patches of green in the mountains and plains, which is very desolate.

This makes me puzzled, Faming Temple is actually in such a place where the birds don't shit?

But I was sure that I was right, so I entered the village, and when I found Monk Mingyuan, I was surprised again.

This is not a monk, but a beggar!
