Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 124 Ground Wolf (3)

Baichengshuang followed the prestige, and saw a ferocious wolf head mural suddenly appeared on the wall, and the wolf eyes were "staring" at them fiercely.

The two stepped forward to carefully identify the content of the painting. It was a wolf digging out the ground with its claws. Every line seemed to be chiseled out of a stone, which was extraordinarily powerful.

"The mother who gave birth to the crippled child, the unknown mother, the great mother, climbed out of the earth."

Ye Ziqi saw the words next to the painting, and immediately read it out.After reading, both he and Baichengshuang were stunned.

"Can you understand the words here?" Baichengshuang was surprised.

Ye Ziqi's heart was broken, he forgot that the words on the painting were demonic characters, isn't this suspected of being a demon?

But facing Baichengshuang's clear eyes, he didn't have the confidence to lie or cover up the past. In the end, he still told the truth about the things he loved reading demon books since he was a child, and he didn't know when he could understand them, and then he was worried waiting for the judgment.

Baichengshuang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and showed a look of surprise: "You are indeed not an ordinary person."

"Unusual..." Ye Ziqi was a little disappointed by such an ordinary evaluation, and asked: "The general is not afraid that I was transformed by a monster and ate you?"

"It is said that the eldest princess of our dynasty, Her Highness Si Liuyan, can also understand the characters of the Yaozu. This is a remarkable skill. It is a good thing to appear in the country of Ju, and even better, it is on your body. Why should I be afraid? ?”

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Baicheng Shuang tilted his head: "Huh?"

Ye Ziqi saw that she couldn't be frightened, so she withdrew her hand gesture embarrassingly, and at the same time she was completely relieved.

Baichengshuang was completely unsuspecting of himself, so he could rest assured to show his understanding of the Yaozu.

Going forward, I immediately saw the second picture. It was still the female wolf. This time she was lying on the ground, and there were three cubs milking her.

Ye Ziqi pointed out that on the back of the female wolf lay a little wolf. This wolf had extremely short front legs and was obviously born with disabilities.

"This is the 'crippled son'. Judging from the text description next to it, the mother ground wolf was considered unknown because she gave birth to such a disabled wolf. She was kicked out of the herd and forced to climb up to the ground to make a living."

"Is this 'Xiao' (Note [-])?" Bai Chengshuang asked.

"It should be. According to folklore, a thousand wolves and a thousand foxes can be crossed to produce a mess, 'a wolf gang', but no one really knows how the 'pan' came about. This female wolf is really unfortunate, but She has never given up on raising this disabled child."

The picture in the back is about the female wolf hunting goats and wild deer alone in the forest and feeding her four children.At the same time, in order to protect the cub, he fought against tigers and mandrills, and finally won.

Only through these pictures, Ye Ziqi can also feel how ferocious and fierce the battle between the beasts is, and this female wolf is becoming stronger and stronger, and even some little monsters have begun to gather around it, killing it Be your own leader.

"Could this female wolf be the demon king who dominates here? Are these murals recording its rise?" Ye Ziqi had such doubts in his heart, but at this moment, a line of words suddenly rushed into his eyes:

"The unknown mother, the great mother, met her real king."

When Ye Ziqi saw this line of text, and then saw the painting on the text, his mind felt dizzy for a while.A ferocious and strange monster suddenly appeared in the painting with exaggerated proportions. It has a long neck, a body like a cow, and the most important thing is that it has a human-like angry face under its armpit.

This terrifying monster was holding a little wolf in its paws, and was about to put it into its mouth.Many little monsters following the female wolf fell beside, and the female wolf who had won many battles in the painting before was also prostrate on the ground at this moment, as if bowing her head in surrender.

"General, this thing is—" Ye Ziqi cried out.

"It's Taotie. (Note [-])" Baichengshuang looked serious.

"The painting says that the she-wolf exchanged her allegiance for the life of her child. From then on, Taotie is the king of the forest."

Ye Ziqi's lips trembled.As a native of the Ju Kingdom, he couldn't help being shocked at this moment, because the origin of the Ju Kingdom was the first lord, Bai Chenghan, who killed the demon king Taotie with a cold spear, and thus established the country as a marquis.

What he saw at this moment was the history before the founding of the country that could drive all the historians of his country crazy.

The prosperity of monsters.

"General, let's... go further down." Ye Ziqi's voice contained emotions of confusion and fear, but raging curiosity dominated, as if something was urging him to discover more ancient secrets.

"En." Baichengshuang nodded, but hesitated.Her gaze rested on a little monkey next to Taotie for a long time, the little monkey was waving its arms, as if cheering and clapping, its appearance was familiar to Baichengshuang.

In the next screen, the protagonist was changed.Talking about how Taotie was invincible on the earth, one of the demon kings, the Lion Demon and the Leopard Demon, surrendered one after another, and together with the female wolf they were called the "Three Beasts" and became the most powerful subordinates of Taotie. The snow sculpture group that refused to surrender was almost driven to extinction.

Before the territory of the Song Dynasty expanded here, Taotie had already conquered the land.

Then, there is a series of images of monsters running rampant.

This eerie and terrifying glory comes to an abrupt end when a young snow sculpture suddenly flies into the frame.

The young eagle led a person to the group of demons.This is the first time a human being has stood in a painting holding a weapon.

The lines for drawing people are very rough, if not for the fact that the real thing is next to him, Ye Ziqi can't even tell whether the weapon in his hand is a spear or a stick.However, against the rampant carnival monsters, the simple and lonely back of human beings reveals incomparable courage.

"This is the former Lord..." Ye Ziqi explained softly, in the explanation to people, he found the name "Baichenghan".

"It is said in the demon text that the king used tricks to get rid of the 'three beasts'. He lured the female wolf into the trap with rich food, lured the lion demon to betray the glutton with power and lies, and made the leopard demon relax by offering sacrifices all the time. He took precautions. After killing all the 'three beasts', he led many humans into the demon king's lair..."

The next painting that follows is the earth-shattering battle between Bai Chenghan and Taotie.

"...killed the demon king Taotie with a single gun."

There is no cumbersome description, only from the screen, Baichengshuang and Ye Ziqi can feel the terrifying coercion from monsters and the excitement of human victory.

Humans reveled on the monster's corpse.

"The history of the land is older than the kingdom." The old demon sighed abruptly.

"General, my subordinates guess that this demon world has no master." Ye Ziqi analyzed: "I was surprised before that we were captured in such a large demon world, but no hordes of monsters came to attack us immediately. Now Look, this place used to be one of Taotie's territories, but after it died, it was abandoned, so it's so desolate now."

"It makes sense." Baichengshuang agreed, "but the murals are newly created after Taotie's death."

"Maybe it's the remnants of the defeated army who are nostalgic." Ye Ziqi saw the next painting, that is to say, the little monsters fled in all directions, and some of them headed towards the pattern of the mountain together, and the target was obviously the snow ridge.

"They were driven out of the plains by our human race, fled into the deep mountains, and even fled underground. They have been hiding for as long as the history of our country. They must have been turned into ashes long ago, right?"

According to Ye Ziqi's understanding, there is no concept of civilization or country among the monster clan. Whoever is strong will follow him. When a tree falls, the monkeys will disperse. The demon king who died more than 100 years ago should not leave any echoes in the world.

However, who recorded the history of monsters in the dark?
"We fail, we still wait; we die, we still reproduce."

The description of the last sentence of Yaowen ends here abruptly.

What are you waiting for?

Ye Ziqi felt great curiosity. He felt that the secrets of the demon world and the way to get out were not far away from him. He walked down quickly, and Baichengshuang had to speed up to keep up with him.

The old demon head reminded: "Boy, these demon texts and demon pictures are enough to seduce people's hearts. They are echoing your demon power. You are a little confused."

But Ye Ziqi didn't care about him, this terrifying lair dormant with ancient secrets, in the endless years, perhaps the sound of human footsteps echoed for the first time.It frightened him and fascinated him at the same time.

He continued to run down the long and low walkway under his feet. After a steep downhill road, he suddenly came to an empty and dark cavern. The golden light emitted directly saw a stone tablet standing deep in the cave.

He ran over immediately.

"Wait a minute!"

"Be careful!"

The old demon head and Baichengshuang stopped it almost at the same time, but Ye Ziqi was like a hungry person in the desert, yearning for nectar, eager for answers.

So he finally saw the demonic writing on the stone tablet——

"We will eventually return to the land!"

Note [-]: Embarrassment: An animal in folklore has very short front legs, so it has to lie on the wolf's body when walking.Clever, generally as a military adviser in the wolf pack. The "Shen Yi Jing" contains: "Chou has no front legs, and Yiyun has short front legs and cannot move on his own. He walks with a wolf on his back, just like a jellyfish has shrimps."

Note [-]: "Shenyijing·Xihuangjing": "Gaotie, the name of the beast, has a body like a cow, a human face, eyes in the armpit, and cannibalism." Also "Shanhaijing·Beishanjing" records: "The mountain of hook Wu There is a lot of jade on the top, and a lot of copper on the bottom. There is a beast, which looks like a sheep's body and a human face, its eyes are in the armpit, tiger teeth and human claws, and its sound is like a baby.According to the notes of Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty, the "roe owl" here is gluttony.
