Chapter 5732 Protecting Tun Peng
"Why not?" Xia Tian also glared.
Extraordinary momentum!
The Great Elder had always been very good to him. Now that the Great Elder said that he would give him a task, he must complete it.
"Protect Tun Peng." The Great Elder said.
Uh!
When they heard this, everyone was stunned, but Xia Tian found that there were only two people who were not surprised except the Great Elder himself, that is, the second brother and Tun Peng himself.
"I will definitely do it." Xia Tian did not ask why.
He understood that if the Great Elder wanted him to know, he would naturally tell him. If he did not want him to know the reason, then it would be useless even if he asked.
And Tun Peng is his brother.
Even if the Great Elder did not say so, he would protect him.
But when the Great Elder said this, Xia Tian understood the seriousness of the matter. Someone must be going to attack Tun Peng, and Tun Peng must not be in trouble.
Hong Hu glanced at Tun Peng and said nothing.
"Don't get into trouble!" The Great Elder gave Xia Tian three jade slips, which were maps and the routes given to them by the Great Elder.
Xia Tian smiled slightly: "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven."
The second senior brother glanced at the Great Elder: "Why don't I go with the three of them?"
"No, you have your role. We only have 55 people this time. I hope everyone can arrive at the position gate safely, successfully block the opponent, and return to the Green Grass Gate safely." The Great Elder patted the second senior brother on the shoulder.
"Got it." After the second senior brother finished speaking, he walked to Xia Tian's side: "Thank you for your hard work."
He didn't say much.
Xia Tian nodded and threw a pot of wine to Tun Peng and Hong Hu: "Let's go, drink!!"
"Okay!" Hong Hu said.
The atmosphere here is very depressing, as if they are going to experience some life and death.
But everyone also understands that once they leave tomorrow, life and death will really not be controlled by one person.
The Holy Gate!
This is not an existence that can be easily messed with.
Their Green Grass Sect was almost destroyed by the Saint Sect.
In Xia Tian's room.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?" Tun Peng looked at Xia Tian and Hong Hu and asked.
The words of the Supreme Elder just now were very mysterious, and he still wanted to protect Tun Peng, which must have puzzled everyone. He, Xia Tian, and Hong Hu are brothers, so he really doesn't want to hide it from these two people.
"We are brothers, there is no need to say it so clearly." Hong Hu smiled slightly.
Tun Peng lowered his head.
Xia Tian patted Tun Peng on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, we are brothers."
The three of them are really brothers who have been through life and death together.
"Actually, it's nothing. To put it simply, I am a monster. I am something that is neither human, nor demon, nor ghost." Tun Peng breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he really didn't need to hide it. He really wanted to be brothers with Xia Tian and Hong Hu, so he didn't want to hide anything from these two people.
He wanted to say what he had been holding in his heart.
"Don't force it." Xia Tian comforted.
"It's nothing. My story is very simple, but to be honest, it actually involves a lot of things. At the beginning, our Ziyun Mountains were called the Ghost Cave. It was haunted by ghosts and ruled by the ancient ghost king. It was a truly bloody area. The humans and monsters here were enslaved by ghosts. Later, a hero appeared. His name was Master Ziyun. He led humans and monsters to fight ghosts and finally successfully sealed the ghost king. However, the power of the ghost king was too terrible, so Master Ziyun divided the ghost king into seven parts and sealed them in seven altars in the Ziyun Mountains." Tunpeng drank a big sip of wine.
Ghost king?
"Wait? What is a ghost?" Xia Tian asked.
"I don't know. I also saw it from the records. As for what ghosts are, I don't know either. I only know that they are gloomy and terrifying. At night, their strength increases several times. They are very scary, especially the ghost king. The records say that he can blow a mountain flat with one breath." Tunpeng explained.
"Damn, what's going on? How can we fight if a mountain can be flattened with one breath?" Honghu said in shock.
"That's why the ancient ghost king is so terrifying. His strength is so strong that normal humans can't contend with him. That's why this place is called a ghost den. Master Ziyun finally died after exhausting all his strength. So in memory of Master Ziyun, this place is called the Ziyun Mountains." Tunpeng said patiently.
This is the origin of the Ziyun Mountains.
It sounds legendary.
Looking at the prosperity of the Ziyun Mountains now, how many people would think that their stability was exchanged for Master Ziyun's life.
"What about the seven altars?" Xia Tian asked.
"The things sealed in the seven altars are called the Seven Rakshasas. The power of each Rakshasa is to destroy everything. Originally, the Ziyun Mountains were very peaceful, but later, because of human greed, some people released those Rakshasas. They tried every means to control the Rakshasas and let them use them as weapons of war. That was also the darkest period of our Ziyun Mountains. In the past, the Ziyun Mountains had a large population and array masters, but because of the wars during that period, only 1% of the people in our Ziyun Mountains survived, and a large number of array masters also died." Tunpeng said.
Only 1% survived!!!
When hearing this, Xia Tian and Hong Hu looked at each other at the same time.
This is really a terrible number.
Greed!
Human nature is indeed greedy.
It is precisely because of their greed that the development of the originally prosperous Ziyun Mountains has retreated significantly. If it were not for that war, I am afraid that the current Ziyun Mountains would have been a place where array masters are everywhere.
Array masters would not be so scarce.
"What does this have to do with you?" Hong Hu asked suddenly.
"Later, in order to stop the slaughter and war, the masters of Ziyun Mountain united and wanted to repair the altar, but no one could repair the formation on the altar, and there was no second Ziyun Master in Ziyun Mountain, so they used another method, which was to turn the Rakshasa into a formation and seal it in the human head." When Tunpeng said this, he pointed to his head.
Uh!
Honghu's eyes widened, and his face was full of shock: "You mean, there is a monster in your head!!!"
"That's right, I am also a monster. For people like me, no matter how I practice, my life span is only 6,000 years. As long as I live to 6,000 years old, my head will explode directly, and then the Rakshasa will find a new master and enter the next person's head. In other words, it is gradually eating my brain and my soul." Tunpeng laughed at himself.
