"...It sounds like this lie has been told for a long time. So what is the truth?"

Hang Yanling narrowed his eyes sarcastically: "Next, I will hear this big lie that the whole Dongzhou is hiding from the mouth of a cripple who met by chance in the territory of Dongzhou today? Are you sure it's me? Can I listen to it for free?"

"You don't have to worry, the truth is not a secret in the organization, my father risked his life to bring that secret out of the organization, and in exchange for hearing the secret, I became the cripple you saw. "

Chen Lu patted her leg, this action made Hang Yanling dumbfounded.

Looking at Hang Yanling's expression, Chen Lu shook her head: "The truth itself sounds very absurd, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...I'm afraid it would be considered nonsense at first glance, and I would just laugh it off."

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"Not only me, but you have also witnessed it—Xuan Ming and A Yan who are in front of you now are part of that truth."

"..."

Chen Lu put her hands on her lap with a smile: "Okay, the quarter of an hour you stipulated has arrived—and the next thing will involve things far away. If you are not interested, you can leave now."

Hang Yanling was eating melons from the royal family of Dongzhou vigorously, when he heard that Chenlu suddenly asked for Kawen, he slapped his thigh angrily.

"A broken chapter dog, right!?"

"Huh? But didn't you just say that there are still people who are worried about you and want to go back?"

"Let them worry about it for a while, I'm not lying in the ICU to die."

Hang Yanling narrowed his eyes: "Or do I need to pay a certain price for knowing the truth?"

"of course."

"Give you some money to repair the house behind you, or become a lame like you?"

"We are not short of silver, but to be lame is not good for our purpose."

Chen Lu gently lifted the veil, revealing her face——

Even Hang Yanling, who was used to seeing things from the underworld, was taken aback by this face.

The burn scars covered the lower half of the face, and even the skin was lacking, and the muscle fibers were exposed to the air.

"Fuck, what's wrong with your face..."

"This is one of the costs of knowing the truth, and it is also one of the costs of walking with the demon race. I want you to know that what I tell you next is definitely not a fool's rave... and once you learn the truth, you must agree I...Even if I don't stand on our side, I must never help the royal family of Dongzhou. After your goal is achieved, please return to Nanzhou as soon as possible...If our plan fails...can you send it again? Show mercy, I hope you can use your power in Nanzhou... to protect those innocent monsters living in Dongzhou."

"..."

"After all, you are both a saint and a monster. Your existence is very important to us...Of course, I know this burden is heavy."

Chen Lu smiled and asked with that ferocious and somewhat terrifying face: "Then, are you going to leave or stay and let me tell you the truth about the birth of that organization and the birth of the entire Dongzhou... to you?"

Chapter 21 Their Transactions

That was a matter of the era when Zijinmu still existed in this world, the spiritual source was abundant, and the monster race was rampant.

On the main road of Dongzhou, there are many monster races.

When it comes to the fatal flaw of the monster race, it is that the spirits and monsters evolved from the essence of the world do not have a high reproductive ability, and the breeding of the monster race and humans can only give birth to half-demons with impure blood.And it is even more difficult to give birth to children with other races.

If you want to reproduce, you can only find a demon clan of the same race as yourself, and you have to return to the original demon body to reproduce, and the strength must be almost the same, otherwise, both the man and the woman are at risk of death.

In this way, the demon fetus bred through untold hardships has the risk of premature death, and the possibility of not inheriting the cultivation aptitude of its parents.

Therefore, most of the Yaozu are stragglers, and it is difficult to pass it on, and it is difficult to pass it on in the form of a "family" like humans.

But there are exceptions to everything. Among the many monster clans with complex clans, there are four "inheritances" of monster clans.

Snake, tiger, bird, dragon.

In the terms of later generations, they are Xuanwu, Baihu, Suzaku, and Qinglong.

The so-called Four Saints.

Strictly speaking, they do not belong to the first generation of monster clan, but the product after some monster clan mastered the stable reproduction method.

With inheritance, powerful monster clans can pass on their skills and aptitudes to the next generation, and they can establish a "family" like humans in this chaotic world, possessing dominance over other monster clans.

At the beginning, the most powerful people in Dongzhou were not "humans" and "monsters", but "humans" and "four saints".

Just like the rivalry of families in Nanzhou, the Four Great Sacred Beasts are not united. After all, they are called together because they have their own methods of survival.

Xuanwu has an extremely long life span and can wait for the birth and reproduction of offspring for a long time. Therefore, he has the warmest temperament, honest and simple, and can deal with any conflicts with a detached attitude.

Suzaku survived the ashes, entered the realm rapidly, and practiced self-destructively and constantly in rotation, which was different from the vast majority of humans and monsters. Naturally, there was no need to fight for it.

The white tiger has a violent heart and loves to kill. It is the most powerful predator among the monster clans.

This situation lasted for thousands of years, until the era when the spiritual source was on the verge of extinction.

With the reduction of resources, the lives of humans and monster races are getting tighter. Other monster races can be left to fend for themselves, but the four saints are different.

While they are powerful, they also have the ability to stably pass on to future generations. Leaving aside the naturally aggressive White Tiger, even the gentle Xuanwu and the indifferent Suzaku will become greatly unstable factors in future generations.

This is undoubtedly a huge threat to human beings.

The same is true for Qinglong.

Qinglong possesses intelligence and reproduction ability that are almost equal to that of human beings. After all, they can give birth to offspring stably with almost any monster race, even human beings.This is the monster race that is most similar to humans, and it can almost be regarded as a perfect replica of humans.

When the spiritual source was on the verge of extinction, the clever Qinglong reached a deal with humans.

To be precise, it was a deal with the "Dragon Heir" among humans.

A perfect transaction that can guarantee that both Qinglong and human beings can survive in the future history.

It is up to Qinglong to cause disputes and intensify the conflict between humans and monsters.

The powerful Dragon Heir is responsible for leading and protecting human beings, uniting the human beings in Dongzhou, and defeating the Yaozu.

In this way, a ridiculous and weird history was born.

Qinglong took the initiative to order the demon clan who were originally stragglers and rogues, and called on everyone to plunder humans.

Long Si led the human race and launched a counterattack.

However, the ending is obvious. The most valiant white tiger clan defeated the Yao clan because of Qinglong's backstab at a critical moment.

After the humans defeated the remaining monsters, they absorbed most of the power of the earth veins. It was too late for Xuanwu and Suzaku to react.

Humanity has won a complete victory, and Qinglong, as the leader of the so-called monster clan, was sealed in the deep sea by the "dragon heir" who led the human race.

The Dragon Heir completely mixed with the human beings and became the supreme leader of the human beings. With the dragon as the surname, the Dragon Dynasty was established.

Everyone in the world thought that this was to let them remember the heroes who defeated the Dragon Clan forever. They revised the history, and the dragon became an existence that everyone in Dongzhou feared. Only the three city gates of the imperial capital are remembered by Dongzhou.

--------------------------

"This is the origin of the royal family of the Dragon Dynasty. How, does it sound absurd?"

Chen Lu calmly finished talking about the dust-covered history, and Hang Yanling listened quietly, tapping his fingers on his knees lightly, and shook his head after a long silence.

"Although you have shown me your appearance in advance as proof, if this history is true... then you know that the price you paid for this history is really too small."

"It's normal if you don't believe it, after all, it's too absurd and disgraceful."

"If I had heard this piece of history from the mouth of a dying and peerless master, I'm afraid I would still be able to believe it—but you... the biggest factor preventing me from believing this piece of history right now is precisely that you still Live this thing."

Hang Yanling frowned and said: "As you said, if this is the truth, then the majesty and legitimacy of the Dragon Dynasty will be greatly challenged. Even if the rule will not be overturned, it will cause considerable internal friction. If I Dragon Heir will spare no effort to destroy this period of history, and will not arrange some so-called historians to record these things."

"You're a smart person, so why don't you guess why I specifically emphasized that those historians are 'hereditary replacements'?"

"...Could it be because they are also dragon heirs?"

"Hehe, it's almost there."

Chen Lu tapped her leg calmly.

"Although with the passage of time, it is not inappropriate to use the term 'dragon descendants' to refer to these ethnic groups with human blood and dragon blood, but when this organization was first established, they were still green dragons—they signed a contract with the dragon descendants. the other side of the contract."

"..."

"The secret they are guarding is the content of their transaction with Long Si. The original contract has never been torn up, and it cannot be torn up. It is a curse that has been branded in Long Si's heart for generations. They can't do anything about it. Kill these original dragons, and that secret, as the most important means of life-saving for the dragons, will of course be passed on forever."

Chen Lu smiled sarcastically: "So, what you said just now is a little wrong. I am still alive until now, which happens to be the reason why this transaction is real."

"So, you are...the descendants of those historians?"

"I told you that my father had some connection with that organization."

"...Then how did you end up in such a miserable state? According to what you said, the royal family of the Dragon Dynasty couldn't hurt people who knew that period of history, right?"

"Dragon heirs can't harm the dragon clan, but the dragon clan can kill each other."

Chen Lu put down the veil again to cover her ugly face, her black eyes dimmed a little, she sighed.

"Taishi Siya still exists now, but there was a split. It was a long-term plan. I don't know when it started. Some people in the family monopolized the secret transaction and killed the same family who knew the inside story. , and finally rebelled against Dongzhou... Those people are what you call an organization. I don't know what it has grown into now, but since they have begun to accept some monster races, and their activities in Dongzhou have become more and more frequent, They even threatened Wen Gongyu to assassinate them... It seems that the time has come for some of their plots to be implemented."

"Your face and legs are..."

"My father was originally an honest official of the Taishi Office, but unfortunately, he was too smart and too curious... The secret was only broken in my grandfather's generation, so it was not easy for him to find out. Difficult. It's a pity that it cost my life."

Chen Lu smiled and pointed at her own face: "As for this half of my face, I burned it myself."

"..."

"I knew this secret, so I naturally had to find a way to hide my identity. Fortunately, the people in the organization had no time to take care of me. I was exiled and was rescued by Wen Gongyu. Unfortunately, some accidents happened. After all, my two legs were gone. Keep it up, in order to repay the life-saving grace, I often use what I saw and heard in the imperial capital when I was a child to help Wen Gongyu deal with things beyond his power... and Ayan and Xuanming by my side were my acquaintances during that time Two of the many monsters...maybe they are related by blood, they are the descendants of Xuanwu and Suzaku...hehe, in front of you now, they are already three of the Four Sages."

Hearing this, Hang Yanling looked again at the two monsters beside the wheelchair who had never said a word.

Regardless of whether Chen Lu's statement was true or not, it was obvious that these two monsters believed it deeply.

It's not hard to see Xuanming's trust in this Chenlu from the standing posture and not only, but Ayan... she obviously doesn't care.

"Okay, okay, I know the origin of the three of you. Believe it or not, let's put it aside-may I ask what purpose you have? Inviting me, a saint, to the imperial capital together, ye can't just go to learn scriptures Shouldn't someone play the role of master?"

"I have been away from the imperial capital for many years, and now the imperial capital is too busy to take care of itself. People from all walks of life are pouring into the imperial capital. For me, it is a good opportunity to escape the eyes and ears of the organization and sneak back to the imperial capital. With my tragic situation and bloodline Go and warn His Majesty to beware of the organization's revenge, so as to avoid chaos in Dongzhou."

Chen Lu pondered for a moment, then continued: "If there is a chance, I also hope to contact a prince who is more friendly to the monster race. If I can thwart the plan of that organization, I must be able to gain a certain right to speak in the imperial capital. As the youngest generation of Taishi Siya, I can inherit that organization... Presumably, I should be able to influence the selection of the emperor's heir to a certain extent. Over the years, I have spent a lot of time with the Yaozu, and they have saved my life... Even if I can't eliminate the hatred between the two races, at least I want the Yaozu to live better in the future."

"……haha."

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

"It's okay, it's just a dryad's physique."

Hang Yanling rubbed his eyes, and his eyes returned to the original light purple from dark gold.

"I understand what you mean. You want to borrow the name of a saint like me to enter Beijing safely. Because I am a demon clan, and you want to protect the demon clan, our positions are equal, and I am a guest of Dongzhou... To you An excellent candidate.”

"It's okay if you don't want to. After all, if you really want to leave, we can't keep you."

Hang Yanling clasped her arms around her chest, grinning her teeth: "Success! Then I'm leaving!"

Xuanming was obviously a little surprised, she took a step forward: "Wait, you've heard so much, don't you..."

"Your Dongzhou is a matter of Dongzhou. What does it have to do with me, a monster from Nanzhou? He has suffered, never begged for food, never stolen, never roasted rat meat... In short, he is a dandy who has never suffered, why do you think I will help you after listening to you?"

Chen Lu raised her brows slightly: "...Hehe, maybe I have a little expectation for you, a saint. After all, you can help Wen Gongyu, a monster who has never met before, deliver a letter, and even make an enemy of the organization. I thought...our position is It's the same everywhere."

Hang Yanling sneered: "An enemy of the organization? I think what you do is quite similar to the blood-eyed old crow."

"……Oh?"

"You told me those so-called 'truths' just now. If they are true, wouldn't I be in danger?"

Hang Yanling curled her lips: "When the time comes, I will be dead or alive in the emperor. Isn't it just a matter of your old man's words? If you are not happy, you will tell the emperor what I know about the secret, and then the whole Dongzhou will Come to encircle me, then I can't stand it."

"I won't hurt you."

"That's because I'm still a 'sage', and I'm still of use to you. It's as if the blood-eyed old crow also takes Wen Gongyu's face as the mayor of Andu Town."

"Let me clarify...you voluntarily listened to my story just now."

"Yeah, so after listening to it, I decided to run away. If the story is false, it means that you are fooling me. If the story is true, my life is in your hands again—I think we should It's better to see you in this world."

Chen Lu's eyes darkened again, and she smiled bitterly: "So, if you really think that I'm threatening your life, the safest way is to kill me here... "

"That can't be helped. I just happen to have a bit of a murderous mentality. When I was brought here today, I killed one of them. I have already reached the upper limit for today."

Hang Yanling turned around and waved his hands: "That's it, you old man is asking for blessings, I hope you have some accidents on the way, and it will save me to do it, and leave."

Staggering, Hang Yanling exposed all the flaws in her back to Chen Lu's eyes.

The silent Xuanming looked at Hang Yanling's back with a cold expression, and asked in a low voice: "What should I do, force it..."

"Hehe, that's all."

Chen Lu, who was sitting on the wooden chair, shook her head, and said with a little regret: "She's right...it's because I didn't think carefully, I just hope that things don't develop to the point of no return."
