At this moment..,
It was Bai Ze who spoke first,
He called out the name of this strange creature, "Heavenly God Emperor Bo."
"Lord Baize,"
The bull-like creature replied. "Long time no see."
"Why are you here?
What's with the chains? "
Emperor Bo smiled,
Its voice was extremely deep,
But it replied with a simple sentence as if it was joking, "I'm unlucky."
"Let me explain,
"Ying Zhao stopped beside the pillar,
Facing Bai Ze and Taotie, he let out a long sigh,
"If you hadn't taken the initiative to come to Huai Shan today,
Perhaps no one would have known about this. "
"The chains on Emperor Bo's body,
I locked them together with it.
As for the reason..,
It had to be traced back to the time when the Mountain and Sea Realm was in chaos.
At that time, we, the Celestial God Race, who were supposed to be guarding one side, were not spared. Moreover, we were the first to bear the brunt of the impact.
My place was a little better. I was the only one who lived here, and because of the high terrain, ordinary creatures couldn't come up.
However, Emperor Bo's place was much more difficult than mine.
Huan Mountain, which he was guarding, was the first to fall into chaos. When I found him, he was already dead.
When I found him, the chaos there was already difficult to control. The most serious thing was that Emperor Bo's body was already … "
Before Ying Zhao could finish his words,
As if in response,
The flowing golden light on the pillar that bound Emperor Bo suddenly became dazzling,
Streaks of golden light flowed downwards like a stream of water.
Following the chains and flowing into Emperor Bo's body.
Lin Shao realized that the black fur on Emperor Bo's body was not its original color. The black fur was actually flowing, and the golden light was trying to dispel the black gloom, as if two forces were sawing at Emperor Bo's body. Lin Shao could hear a sizzling sound, like meat being roasted on a fire, and it looked extremely painful. Emperor Bo, who was standing there, moved his body closer to the pillar. He looked as if he was already used to all of this, but his body still couldn't help but tremble violently, causing the chains that bound him to shake with a sharp sound.
"This is …"
"What's on Emperor Boar's body are the evil ghosts of Mount Huan," said Ying Zhao. A look of grief could be seen in its eyes. "Before the Mountain and Sea Realm descended into chaos, Heavengod Emperor Boar's mission was to protect them in Mount Huan. However, after the chaos, the evil ghosts took advantage of the situation to flee. Emperor Boar tried to stop them, and although he succeeded, he suffered a backlash, and ended up like this.
I picked it up and used the power of Xuan Pu's biggest pillar to suppress the evil spirit in him, but I couldn't get rid of it. "
At this moment, the golden light slowly receded from the Boer's body like the tide, and the black color returned.
After enduring all of this, the Boer King slowly turned its head. Lin Shao saw its black eyes that were as deep as the abyss.
"If that's all there is to it, it's easy to explain," King Burgher said, panting heavily. "But what comes with the evil spirits is their own curse."
After saying this, he glanced at Ying Zhao, and then the two of them fell silent.
When the Taotie saw the golden and black colors seesawing back and forth, it became very anxious. Lin Shao could see its tail wagging in the air. This was a sign of its emotional turmoil.
Lin Shao could somewhat understand what Ying Zhao and the Boer King were talking about, based on his knowledge of the Mountain and Sea Realm. When Lin Shao saw the battle between the black and gold colors, he thought of Lushu.
But what were evil ghosts?
Were they the same type of creature as the resentful ghosts he had seen before?
Bai Ze seemed to know that Lin Shao wasn't too clear about this, so he quietly explained to him.
"Evil ghosts and the resentful ghosts you've seen before are both products of the negative emotions of the world. However, evil ghosts are more tyrannical. You could even say that they're an evolution of resentful ghosts.
They don't need to make a move. As soon as they appear, they will cause a huge impact on the nearby creatures.
Not to mention, the evil spirits of Huan Mountain have been around for much longer than the resentful spirits of Huaili City. The evil spirits are even more powerful during times of chaos. Legend has it that once an evil spirit with tyrannical strength appears, the world will be in a state of war, plunging the people into misery and suffering. "
Bai Ze paused for a moment and looked at King Burgher. He lowered his voice and said, "I told you before that there are no more resentful ghosts in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
However, if one were to think about it in detail, it would seem that the Mountain and Sea Realm had paid an unimaginable price to end that period of chaos and chaos.
This was especially true for the God Clan, whose original mission was to protect the Mountain and Sea Realm. The entire clan was either killed or injured. "
When Lin Shao heard this, he stared blankly for a moment before nodding silently.
Even though he hadn't participated in that period of chaos, he could still sense the heavy hearts of the Taotie and Bai Ze. However, Lin Shao tactfully chose not to interrupt, and instead listened quietly.
He wasn't stupid. Following along with Bai Ze's words, he understood what had happened to King Burgher.
The evil ghost's curse had been placed on King Burgher's body. Ignoring how painful the process was, the aftereffects of the curse would cause chaos and war. For the God Clan, this was something extremely painful.
On the way to Huai Mountain, Lin Shao had heard the Taotie talk a lot about the God Clan. Perhaps it was because they were familiar with each other, but this was the first time Lin Shao had seen the Taotie talk so much.
"The Celestial God Race had a very high status, and they had always given their all for the sake of the Mountain and Sea Realm. They had declined because they had to protect the Mountain and Sea Realm. Unfortunately, most of the other races don't remember the Celestial God Race of the past, nor do they remember what they had sacrificed."
Lin Shao had originally come here for the mission, but what he heard and saw had long surpassed the so-called catching the thief mission itself.
"The two of us might be the only God Clan left." Ying Zhao sighed. "Although I wasn't as unlucky as King Burgher, I can't leave Huai Mountain.
Not only do I have to keep an eye on King Burgher at all times to prevent any accidents from happening, but that evil ghost is currently being suppressed by me, King Burgher, and the Heavenly Pillar. You can't sense how terrifying it is, but in reality … "
As Ying Zhao spoke, he spread his wings and flew up, looking in the direction of Mount Taiqi.
"Mount Taiqi originally didn't have any living creatures living near Huai Mountain.
However, ever since the Wen Yao Clan started living there, Mount Taiqi gradually became the center of the West Mountains.
At this time, if the evil ghost on King Burgher's body appears and we don't deal with it properly, the entire West Mountains will immediately become hell. "
When Lin Shao heard him mention Mount Taiqi, he couldn't help but ask, "So, you went to Mount Taiqi to, um, warn them?"
Ying Zhao looked at him and shook his head honestly. "No, it's not as noble as you think. I just wanted to find something to eat, and Mount Taiqi happened to be nearby.
Moreover, before Wen Yao started farming there, I was already looking for food there.
You've seen what Huai Mountain is like now. In order to suppress the evil ghost on King Burgher's body, I directed all of Huai Mountain's life energy to gather at the Heavenly Pillar. They stopped growing anything to eat a long time ago, but we will still starve to death if we don't have anything to eat.
Because of the evil ghost on King Burgher's body, I can't leave Huai Mountain. Only when the evil ghost's strength is slightly weaker can I leave Huai Mountain to find something to eat. However, this time is not long, so I'm always in a hurry to return.
Wen Yao must have been very unhappy when he asked you to do this. Because I was in a hurry, I messed up their land. "
The last sentence was specially said to Lin Shao.
Lin Tuo was taken aback by Ying Zhao's words. He had thought that Ying Zhao's situation was so complicated that there must be a reason for what he did at Mount Tai Qi. However, Ying Zhao's reason was very straightforward.
But if he looked at this matter fairly, Lin Shao sympathized with the experience of the two Gods. After all, Ying Zhao worked hard to suppress the evil ghost on King Burgher's body for the sake of the entire West Mountain. However, it didn't mean that it was okay to go to Mount Taiqi without asking for permission. After all, Wen Yao's family, who didn't know anything, was quite innocent in this matter.
"But why didn't you tell Wen Yao?"
Lin Tuo asked tentatively. "I think they're quite easy to talk to. They eat too much food in Taiqi Mountain. As long as we tell them that, they'll be willing to send us some food even if we don't do that …" Lin Tuo said tentatively. "Oh?
Ying Zhao looked at him and laughed for the first time.
"You are really different from the previous messengers," Ying Zhao said. "I don't mean to mock you.
As a new messenger, it seems that you don't understand these things. It's normal for you to come up with these cute and simple ideas.
It's because of Taotie and Bai Ze that I told you this.
I want you to help King Burgher. Even if it's not for the sake of West Mountain, it's for the sake of our clan, which is about to be exterminated.
But except for you, I really can't tell anyone else about this matter. Not even a word. "
Lin Shao couldn't figure out why, so he looked at Bai Ze in confusion.
"Think about Chōyou," Bai Ze explained. "Chōyou's misfortune doesn't affect a large area. It's only about the size of a mountain. But the Chōyou clan was banished to the extreme north to fend for themselves. Their entire clan was reduced to only one small Chōyou.
"In comparison, King Burgher's wraiths affect the entire West Mountain. The consequences of this misfortune are much more severe than Chōyou's. Let alone the entire West Mountain, even the other clans living in the Mountain and Sea Realm won't let it go. No one wants to experience the chaos of the Mountain and Sea Realm again.
King Burgher's situation is different from what you saw with Lushu. Lushu is only a distraction, so it can be separated. But King Burgher's situation is that the wraiths are devouring him like parasites.
But this means that as long as King Burgher dies, the wraiths will also die. The so-called misfortune that threatens the entire West Mountain will naturally cease to exist. "
Lin Shao understood.
