Tong Shaoyang and the others looked at the village chief and didn't know why he said this, if he wanted to leave, why did he only take the child away instead of everyone walking together, why didn't he come back if he left?
For a while, neither of them answered, and quietly waited for the village chief to continue."
You must be very confused when I say this, that's because you don't know the secrets of our Shouling Village, I hope you will forget the following words as soon as possible after hearing them, and don't pass them on to others......"
The old tree monster nodded vigorously, Tong Shaoyang naturally had no reason not to agree, the village chief saw the two of them express their attitudes, and was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, and this talk was a few hours, during which the child also slipped in and listened to them curiously with wide eyes, as for whether they understood Tong Shaoyang and the three of them, I don't know.From the description of the village chief, they learned that this Shouling Village has a history of more than 300 years, and it used to be a prosperous place and a wealthy family, until the arrival of a person completely changed the fate of the village, and the person handed the village chief at that time a treasure box of eight dragons, and instructed him that from this moment on, each generation of the entire Shouling Village should choose one person as a guardian to protect this box, even if he paid for it, he must not lose the treasure box, otherwise it will bring devastating disasters to the entire Lingyuan Continent.The village chief of that generation naturally didn't believe it, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his village, but after several excuses, he did not shake the man's decision, but he lived in the village and proclaimed himself the first guardian, and then strange things happened in the village one after another, making everyone panic all day long.The villagers couldn't bear it anymore and forcibly expelled him from the Shouling Village, but the bad luck did not leave with it, but became more and more serious.Many people went crazy for no reason, and finally one by one died mysteriously, fear hung over the whole village, and rumors about the Wake Village spread rapidly, and gradually no one dared to come here again.After becoming a veritable "villager", the people of the village plan to move their families, but anyone who leaves the village for about 500 meters will turn around and walk back uncontrollably, but this situation will only appear in the villagers, and people who are not from the village can leave freely.For a time, the village was torn apart, and cries and shouts could be heard every day.The culprit then returned to the village and told all the villagers that if they wanted to save the village, they had to take on the responsibility of the guardian, otherwise everyone in the village would die, and there was no chance of luck.With no other choice, the village chief had to agree to the man's request, but hanged himself at home that night, leaving a suicide note full of guilt.Since then, the Guardian Village will select a Guardian from each generation according to the genealogy, and this person will also become the head of the village, which has lasted for thirty-seven generations, and that child is the only candidate for the thirty-eighth generation of the Guardian."
Village chief, don't you can't leave the village when you say this, so how can we take this child away?"
The village chief stroked the child's forehead with a smile and said: "There are no absolutes, we can't go out ourselves, but it doesn't mean that we can't go out with the help of external forces, it's just that there are few people passing by here, and there are only a handful of people who have cultivated to a high level, so until now there are less than ten people who have successfully gone out." ”"Then why didn't they come back to save you?""
Alas~!
It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't do that, and anyone who leaves the village will be cursed by the Eight Dragons Treasure Box, which comes from the thing sealed inside it, to be exact.The child's father just wanted to help everyone get out of trouble, and returned to the Guardian Village with people, but he didn't expect that all of them died violently after only half an hour, and the people who went out from then on never dared to come back......"
Tong Shaoyang and the old tree monster looked at each other, looking at the village chief and the child, they suddenly felt very pitiful, it was originally a place like a paradise, but they didn't expect that because of a box, they had a deep hatred for the person who brought them trouble.The village chief probably said that he was tired, sighed and slowly walked to the corner of the hut, and took out a box from under a pile of straw, and there were eight dragon heads carved on the four sides, and their tails were actually connected together, forming a handle for opening the lid, the workmanship was very exquisite, and each dragon was depicted vividly, as if it could take off in the air.handed the box to Tong Shaoyang casually, and the village chief sat back again, and Tong Shaoyang and the old tree monster got together and began to carefully study the structure of this eight-dragon treasure box, each dragon can turn its position at will, but the lid can't be opened, even if Tong Shaoyang injects spiritual power into it, there is no reaction.Suspiciously, he returned the box to the village chief, and saw that he easily opened the lid of the box without force, and a dazzling silver light was instantly released inside.After getting used to it, Tong Shaoyang and the old tree monster looked inside, and found that two extremely narrow seals were pasted on the edge of the box, and under the seals was a diamond-shaped fragment, which felt like it was half broken, and the silver light just now was released by it."
What is this seal?""
I don't know, there is not much record of it in the village, and even if it is mentioned, it is only said that it is a bad thing, and you should try to stay away from it except for the Guardian."
There was no useful information to ask again, Tong Shaoyang took the box and looked at it himself, and suddenly felt that something in his body was attracting to it, but this silk implication was intermittent, perhaps because it was incomplete, and immediately closed his eyes and concentrated on it, carefully feeling the source of the implication.Seeing that Tong Shaoyang seemed to have discovered something, the village chief and the old tree monster all stared at him expectantly.Time passed little by little, and after nearly half an hour, Tong Shaoyang slowly opened his eyes, with a trace of uncertainty in his eyes, and handed the box to the old tree monster's hand."
Your sensing ability is more sensitive than mine, see if there is something in your body that is implicated with it......"
The confused old tree monster immediately sensed the fluctuations in the box according to Tong Shaoyang's instructions, and this time it only took five minutes to get results, and the old tree monster also noticed a kind of resonance in the body, and found the root of the resonance, which was actually the Lingge that had just been devoured not long ago.Telling Tong Shaoyang the result, he smiled slightly, revealing a look that was really like this, and the box was also returned to the village chief's hand at this time, but he still didn't figure out what the two were talking about, and asked suspiciously."
This is supposed to be the spirit left by one of the eight spirit gods, but it's a pity that it was broken in half, but even then it is priceless.That person didn't deceive you, once it was stolen by someone with ulterior motives, it would definitely endanger the entire Lingyuan Continent. ”Looking at the things in his hand, the village chief smiled helplessly, in order to protect the entire Lingyuan Continent, he sacrificed the Shouling Village where his ancestors had lived here for generations, and he didn't know whether he should be proud or ashamed.put the lid back on and put it back in the original straw pile, which made Tong Shaoyang feel a pain in his flesh, what a loser.Figuring out the contents of the Eight Dragons Treasure Box, the next thing is to discuss how to take the child away, but after all, he is the next guardian, if he leaves, who will inherit it?
There were less than ten people in the entire village, and most of them were old people in their last years, and no one was qualified to take his place."
Two little brothers, this is a decision passed by our whole village, if he doesn't leave, in another hundred years we will really become history, and there will be no more vigils at that time, it is better to let this deadline come earlier, even if it costs our lives!"
Saying that, the village chief actually knelt in front of Tong Shaoyang and the two, and the child didn't know what was going on, seeing that the village chief knelt down, he also knelt down, blinking his big eyes and looking at Tong Shaoyang and them happily.This made Tong Shaoyang and the two unable to refuse at all, so they had to agree first, and then use the past few days to think about whether there was a better way.When the village chief heard the two of them agree, he happily stayed with them for two more days, and they had to leave after two days, otherwise it was likely to bring them misfortune.Returning to the house where he lived before, Tong Shaoyang and the old tree monster didn't speak, after all, they also have their own difficulties, this time they went to the Spirit Empire to avoid disaster, it is very inconvenient to take a child, but if you don't take him, you can't rest assured, just with his previous tricks on the two, not everyone can afford it."
Shaoyang, what do you think about this?""
What else can I do, let's take one step at a time, if it doesn't work, take him to the Imperial Academy, I don't think the dean will mind......"
Even Tong Shaoyang himself has no confidence when he says this, the status of the dean is not inferior to that of the head of the five clans, and it is already a great blessing to make an exception for him to enter the Imperial Academy, and now he has to drag his family and his mouth together, and it is estimated that the probability of being bombed out will increase to at least fifty or sixty percent."
It's okay, if it's really not good, I'll take the child to rent a house, as long as you provide the cost, hehe~" The old tree monster smiled slyly, Tong Shaoyang's mood also relaxed a lot, what he said was indeed a good way, after all, it was himself who provoked the five major families, and few people knew about the relationship between the old tree monster and himself, so there was no need to hide at all, so he still affected him.After straightening out the things after that, they no longer worry about whether to take this child away, but they are still a little worried about the issue of the guardian, and they don't know what arrangements the village chief will make.I have been thinking about the Guardian Village all day, but before I know it, it is getting dark, and the village chief has come to deliver a meal and then left quickly, and has not appeared again."
No matter how you think about it, you can't save them, let's go to bed first, maybe you'll have the answer when you wake up......"
The old tree monster stretched his waist and fell asleep, Tong Shaoyang came out of his mind through the window again, and quickly blew out the candles in the house, and the whole village fell into darkness in an instant.Soon after, a figure silently appeared next to the stone monument of the Guardian Village, and in the night, only a pair of indifferent eyes could be seen looking back and forth at the village in front of him...... dd
