Chapter 422 The Past of the Great Wilderness
The crystal piece glowed.
Everyone immediately stared at the piece of scrap metal.
Li Fan was also startled for a moment and said:
"Bring it to my teacher and take a look."
Wu Dade offered it with both hands, and Li Fan picked up the iron piece.
Well, it's quite heavy to buy, and the texture is okay. It's a good piece of iron.
And it looks like it is part of the sword body.
The edges are obvious.
It's just that the rust is too serious...and if you look closely, there seems to be some writing on the blade?
"Bring me the grindstone."
Li Fan spoke immediately, and Gong Ya immediately went to get it.
Li Fan used the magic stone to gently remove the rust.
The rusted iron piece suddenly showed its edge again!
Li Fan rubbed it carefully and found that the characters on the sword piece were not complete, and seemed to be half of the character "Zhu".
Is it the name of the sword? Generally speaking, the name of the sword will be engraved on the sword body.
What sword is Zhu?
Li Fan also had no way of knowing.
He didn't notice that when he polished the sword piece, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
They all felt an unparalleled sword intent coming from the iron piece!
The sword intention is warm.
It's sad.
Just a ray of sword intent was released, but everyone seemed to see a lonely swordsman dying in sorrow.
The sword's will is immortal, but his life has fallen!
Among the many disciples, Dugu Yuqing suddenly looked shocked, and he looked at the sword piece in a daze.
Because at this moment, the sword intent all over his body actually vaguely matched and resonated with this sword intent!
A feeling of loneliness and desolation came to my mind inexplicably!
"Why……"
he muttered.
At this moment, the branches of the peach tree swayed gently, an old hen raised her eyes and stopped pecking at the corn, and a koi stopped swimming.
…
"Where did this thing come from?"
Li Fan asked.
Wu Dade said:
"I bought it at the market. The stall owner said it was brought out by a medicine farmer from the depths of the wilderness."
"Master, so to speak, there are rare animals and plants deep in the wilderness."
He was a little excited.
Li Fan said:
"Deep in the wilderness...the vast wilderness, where can I find it?"
Wu Dade pointed at the big black dog and said:
"Master, don't worry. This dog has a good nose. He will definitely be able to find it by following the smell. This is what he smelled."
When Li Fan heard this, he thought about it and said:
"Yeah, that's fine."
"Let's have dinner first and we'll discuss this matter tomorrow."
And Gong Ya has already put all the dishes on the table, and the tempting aroma can be heard.
"It's time to eat!"
Everyone sat down happily and started eating.
Only Dugu Yuqing seemed to be in a state of despair.
…
Muling Village.
"Grandpa Village Chief, we met people from the Muling Dynasty today..."
Mu Wanqing told what happened in the market today.
A solemn look flashed across Mu Rantian's face.
"It seems that the record is true..."
"Mu Ling Village... once produced a peerless strong man who created a powerful dynasty in the outside world..."
There was a trace of bitterness on his face and he said:
"It's just Muling Village, but it has been forgotten."
He read through all the records of the clan.
Many legends were once regarded as mere myths.
But the words of worshiping the spirits made him re-examine those ancient texts.
Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of Muling Village escaped from the depths of the wilderness and established Muling Village.
According to records, those ancestors brought out many treasures.
However, our ancestors have ancestral teachings, and everyone in Muling Village is not allowed to leave the wilderness.
Let alone allow those things from the depths of the wilderness to appear in front of the world.
However, later someone violated the ancestral precepts.
After all, there is only decay and desolation in the wilderness.
One of them took away what the ancestors left behind, leaving only some useless seeds.
The vitality of Muling Village was severely damaged, and it became weaker and weaker from then on, almost being wiped out, until a grape was finally cultivated from that seed.
That is the sacrificial spirit of their Muling Village!
Thousands of years have passed, and no one in the village mentions those past events.
No one even believed it.
Until today.
Mu Rantian let out a long sigh and said:
"Hey...that's all, don't worry about it!"
"It's passed."
…
An open, flat area.
Surrounded by mountains.
A rare stone city was built here.
Crow food tribe!
Outside the stone city, there are residential buildings scattered around, and there are powerful cultivators guarding the stone city.
In the stone city, there is a tall stone palace.
Rough, ancient.
However, this stone palace is not for people to live in.
Even the chief of the Crow Food Tribe, Crow Tongtian, could only live on the side of the stone palace.
In the stone hall is the residence of the sacred crow, the sacrificial spirit of their crow-eating tribe.
At this moment, in the main hall.
A three-color lynx and an old tree root were kneeling on the ground.
At the top of the empty stone hall, there is a huge stone throne. On top of the throne is a huge black crow!
The black feathers all over the body of the black crow can be seen as shiny, and the crow's eyes are blood red, but there are actually a few white feathers on the crow's head.
Just like human white hair.
"Report to the Crow King...the mission failed."
"The old grapes in Muling Village are given a new lease of life."
"Moreover, on the way to the Crow Food Tribe, we encountered a terrifying black dog... If we guessed correctly, the black dog should be the backstage of Muling Village!"
The three-color lynx opened his mouth and told the whole story.
Above, the black crow is as silent as a statue.
"A black dog..."
The black crow made a rough sound and said:
"Thousands of years ago, a god took action to explore this wilderness. Countless creatures and servants even opened the 'Suzaku Ruins' deep in the wilderness. But in the end, the god died, and very few creatures escaped from the wilderness..."
"I am lucky enough not to die. Is that black dog also a survivor?"
The Crow King thought.
"Mu Ling Village, was it also discovered..."
It had escaped from the depths of the wilderness and knew how evil that area was.
And the old grape... should be a species brought out from the depths of the wilderness by several other survivors.
Over the years, it has been recovering from its injuries and secretly paying attention to Muling Village.
In other villages, the sacrificial spirits will be distorted by the breath of the wilderness, becoming bloodthirsty, crazy, and sinister, and even it itself will not be immune.
But the old grapes in Muling Village have never been contaminated...
This proved its conjecture that Old Grape could resist the evil power of the wilderness.
Recently, it finally regained its strength, and it even received news from the Wood Spirit Dynasty that some powerful beings wanted to explore the wilderness again...
It just started making preparations.
"Let the people from the Muling Dynasty come to see me."
The Crow King spoke.
soon.
A girl in a green dress from the Muling Dynasty walked up.
It was Mu Manqing.
"Mu Ling Dynasty sent a girl like you to come here?"
The Crow King's words were somewhat unpleasant.
Mu Manqing shook her head and said:
"of course not."
Mu Manqing said word by word: "The army of the Mu Ling Dynasty... is already outside the tribe!"
…
now.
Outside the Crow Food Tribe.
A team of people has appeared.
At first glance, there were about two thousand people in total.
They were all elite warriors, and they were riding powerful iron-scaled war horses. Their light green armor shone brightly in the sunlight.
In the team, a big flag fluttered in the wind. It was a giant green tree!
The sacred wooden flag of the Muling Dynasty!
In front of the military formation, a middle-aged man was wearing a thick green cloak, his aura was strong and calm, and there was a hint of green in his eyes.
"Mu Jinglong, the uncle of the Mu Ling Dynasty, asks to see the crow food tribe to worship the spirit!"
He spoke indifferently.
The loud sound instantly spread throughout the entire Crow Food Tribe!
Soon, the Stone City of the Crow Food Tribe opened.
Mu Jinglong led the troops of the Mu Ling Dynasty and slowly entered.
After placing the troops, Mu Jinglong walked into the stone hall under the leadership of Ya Tongtian, the chief of the Crow Food Tribe.
"Uncle, you are here."
Mu Manqing came up to him and said.
Mu Jinglong nodded calmly and said:
"You girl, I asked you to wait for us, but you insisted on coming early. Where is Mugang?"
Mu Manqing's face changed slightly and said:
"He was injured..."
Immediately, she quickly talked about what happened in the market.
After listening, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed across Mu Jinglong's face.
A big black dog...
"Furthermore, according to Man Qing's inquiries afterwards, those people... seem to be from a village called Muling Village!"
Mu Manqing spoke in a low voice.
Mu Jinglong's eyes suddenly froze.
Muling Village...
"From the moment our ancestors stepped out of the wilderness and established the dynasty, we have nothing to do with the wilderness."
"The ancestral village has long since perished."
He shook his head.
"Hey, little guy, the old grapes from Muling Village are the seeds they brought out from the depths of the wilderness in the past. They can resist the evil forces of the wilderness..."
At this time, Old Crow continued to speak and said:
"Without the old grape, entering it would increase the risk."
However, Mu Jinglong looked at the old crow on the stone seat indifferently and said:
"Back then, what our clan brought out from the depths of the wilderness were not just some spent grape seeds."
"This time, we have enough protection, you can rest assured of this."
Hearing this, the old crow laughed loudly, its black feathers trembling like the wind, and said:
"Very good...last question, this time, what level are the people behind you?"
Mu Jinglong has a profound meaning:
"Enough to sweep across the entire wilderness!"
"Your Excellency, you can safely lead the way."
The most important reason why the Wood Spirit Dynasty wanted to cooperate with the Crow Food Tribe was that Old Crow was the only one who was still alive among the creatures that escaped that year.
Only with it to guide the way can we enter the wilderness better.
…
same day.
Crow Food Tribe gathers all soldiers of the tribe!
Together with the Muling Dynasty, they headed towards the wilderness at the same time.
When the news came out, everyone was shocked!
