Chapter 327 Moon Goddess

Hey, this fish has seeds in its belly. Put it on the fire and roast it, it will be delicious!

He expressed his disgust with his actions. Dong Rui was furious, but he could do nothing. After dinner, he found some grass leaves and made a mask for himself, which finally covered the lower half of his face.

Zhu Erniang came just after they finished their meal.

He Lingchuan held up the remaining fish meat and asked it: "Do you want to try my cooking?"

Zhu Erniang refused. It likes to suck frozen fish and can eat raw meat, but hates any cooked food. "Come with me after you finish eating, I will find a place for you to experiment."

Dong Rui pointed to the abandoned house behind Changtan: "Isn't this place okay?"

"If there is another flood, this place will be flooded." Zhu Erniang said, "You have also walked underwater, and the city was originally above the water level."

The two had to follow, and Dong Rui couldn't help but say: "Where are we?"

"This is the Demon Nest Swamp, an uninhabited area on the border between Beijia and Fuguo, but it does not belong to any country."

Fuguo?

The two looked at each other, and He Lingchuan exclaimed: "Isn't that east of Beiga?"

He slept for hundreds of miles? !

The water of the Han River actually brought him here.

He Lingchuan asked tentatively: "You didn't originally live in the Ghost Needle Stone Forest, why did you move to the Demon Nest Swamp thousands of miles away?"

Zhu Erniang snorted: "Back then, Baling Kingdom and Panlong City fought and the war spread to my territory. I was so angry that I killed the generals of Panlong City. Later, Panlong City always came to cause trouble, and I was really annoyed, so I had to move."

He Lingchuan suddenly reacted when he heard this.

Yes, in reality, Zhu Erniang killed General Nan Ke of Panlong City, and she would not be tolerated by General Hong. When Panlong City wins the battle of Weicheng, he will come back to deal with it.

Zhu Erniang's forced relocation is also reasonable. Maybe she suffered some losses in the middle, because it was not elaborated.

This is completely different from the direction in the dream. In Dafanghu's dream, because He Lingchuan burned its nest farm in time, Zhu Erniang rushed back to the nest, and General Nan Ke escaped, so Panlong City and it did not have a deep hatred. Afterwards, General Hong showed off his muscles to it, and restored the previous agreement, and Zhu Erniang did not need to move.

In the future, will there be more and more differences between dreams and real history?

"I lived in Beijia Country for a while, and I felt it was meaningless, so I went down the Han River and finally settled here." An old monster like it is not used to the life of the monster country in the future.

He Lingchuan asked about the origin of the underwater city again: "Did the residents leave because of the rising water level?"

"How can it be that simple?" Zhu Erniang said, "This was originally the territory of the Jiana tribe. They lived in seclusion. At its peak, it was said that there were more than 100,000 people, many strong men, and miracles. It was said that they also guarded the treasures given by the gods. Later, monsters descended from the sky and killed them all. After a few decades, the water level of the swamp rose and flooded their former residence again."

She was leading the two to leave the abandoned town, but when passing the tallest building, He Lingchuan saw the statue inside through the open door.

The statue was carved from a whole piece of granite, more than three meters high. It is not easy to find such a large and well-proportioned boulder in the swamp, and it is even more difficult to move it here.

There was no tree in front of the building, and a ray of sunlight happened to shine through and shine on the statue.

It turned out that the building at the highest point of the entire city was a temple?

He Lingchuan let out a long sigh, took a wrong step, and walked in.

This exotic temple building has a spacious interior. After more than a hundred years of wind and water erosion, although moss is overgrown, the white stone tiles are mostly flat and intact. Stepping on them is like playing bells and chimes, with clear sounds and echoes everywhere.

The tribute table has long been decayed and invisible, only the small piece of ground in front of the statue is sunken, obviously the result of years of worship by devout believers.

He Lingchuan stood here, looking up at the statue.

This is a goddess, with kind eyebrows and compassionate face, her eyes are slightly down, looking at the believers under the seat, holding a treasure pot in her hand, with dragons flying around her, and evil ghosts under her feet.

Although it is entangled with vines, it has reduced its former majesty.

He Lingchuan looked at it with shock.

Zhu Erniang and Dong Rui also came in: "What?"

"Is this the god worshipped by the Jiana people?"

"Yes, they believe in the Moon God." Zhu Erniang said slowly, "This is the Moon God that Jiana has believed in for generations, but it's a pity that he couldn't protect them from the monsters chasing them."

Moon God? He Lingchuan was confused for a moment, this is clearly Mitian!

The god worshipped by the whole city of Panlong City, Mitian Niangniang.

He had been in and out of dreams so many times, of course he had been to the Mitian Temple. The Mitian God worshipped there was slightly different in appearance and demeanor from this one, but he would never make a mistake.

What's more, he had just seen this face in his dream before.

General Hong!

Although General Hong looked indifferent, this goddess statue had a compassionate face, but the facial features were at least 70% similar, especially the iconic brown phoenix eyes.

Thousands of miles away, the patron saint of Panlong City actually had believers in the depths of the Demon Nest Swamp, and he changed his name?

He had no choice but to ask Zhu Erniang: "How much do you know about this Moon God?"

"How should I know?" Zhu Erniang knocked on the ground, "When I came here, this place was already deserted."

Dong Rui was also curious: "Then how do you know that the Jiana tribe was exterminated by monsters?"

"Strictly speaking, it is not a genocide. Some of their descendants escaped and moved to the edge of the Devil's Nest Swamp." Zhu Erniang touched her round belly with her paws. "Before I eat my prey, I like to chat with them. Hear some interesting stories.”

Once again, life in the swamp is too boring. He is a big monster who likes to listen to stories.

He Lingchuan, Dong Rui: "..."

You really need to escape as soon as possible.

He Lingchuan's heart moved: "Then do you know in which year the Jiana tribe was exterminated?"

Zhu Erniang stood still and tried her best to calculate in her mind. After a while, she said: "Well, if the descendants of the Jiana tribe remember correctly, today should be one hundred and seventy-four, no... one hundred and seventy-two years ago. "

One hundred and seventy-two years ago? Isn’t that the seventeenth year of the Panlong Calendar?

That was one or two years after the Chifeng Mine Incident.

While Panlong City was prospering under the protection of heaven, the Jianner people who believed in it were almost exterminated.

They are so close in time, what is the connection between the two?

"Have you ever seen the statue of the Mitian God enshrined in Panlong City?"

"Of course not." Zhu Erniang was dissatisfied, "Do you think I can walk into Panlong City like this? Why, what is the connection between the two?"

"It's so similar." He Lingchuan just answered casually, but Zhu Erniang was even more casual: "What's so strange about that? Many gods have more than one image and one title in the world."

So that’s it?

The two of them left the ruins of the Jana tribe and walked into the vast jungle.

After walking for several miles, the terrain became higher and higher, and the two of them were forced to climb halfway up the mountain.

A large area of ​​the ground in front turned out to be an irregular sinkhole, with a maximum diameter of about ten feet and was very deep. The rock walls are covered with calamus and small trees.

Zhu Erniang pointed at the tiankeng and said, "We're here."

He Lingchuan looked around and saw shadowy figures in the forest, all of which were spiders wandering around. He knew that Zhu Erniang was not at all worried about them.

In the territory of the burrowing spiders, even the eels have to pay tribute to them. Unless they have wings, it will be difficult for them to escape.

At this time, even He Lingchuan couldn't help but miss the benefits of Dong Rui's strange bird.

Dong Rui was also looking up at the sky, wondering if he had the same emotion.

At this moment, Zhu Erniang raised her front paws and suddenly pushed them down the sinkhole——

It moved extremely fast and struck from behind, not even He Lingchuan could dodge.

With a "plop", Dong Rui fell into the water, and He Lingchuan turned over in the air and jumped to the small tree on the edge of the cliff.

The water in the sinkhole is very clear, but bottomless.

Dong Rui was splashing in the water, and Zhu Erniang's figure stood on the edge of the sinkhole: "My children will take you to the laboratory. Everything is available there. If you need anything, just tell them. Although the terrain down here is complicated, there is only this way. One, I advise you not to play tricks, otherwise you will watch yourself being sucked dry bit by bit!"

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other and shuddered.

Sure enough, there is a passage by the water, deep into the heart of the mountain, and the entrance of the cave is guarded by more than a dozen spiders.

When Dong Rui waded through the water, He Lingchuan also jumped to the entrance of the cave without touching the water.

When the two of them walked in, there were two little spiders leading the way.

Dong Rui swallowed the water in his mouth: "As expected, it is worried about us. Hey, do you still have the red potion you stole from me?"

He asked twice, but He Lingchuan didn't reply, he just looked around.

The tiankeng is not independent, but connected to a cave. After walking for a short time, there will be a branch road. However, Little Spider seemed to be very familiar with this place and led the way without hesitation.

"Hey, you..." It's just an ordinary cave, what's so interesting about it?

The cracks in the rock wall are covered with soft grass and fungi, and you can often hear the sound of water flowing all the way down, which will eventually end up in the sinkhole.

He Lingchuan suddenly said: "There is something strange here."

They were thrown into the sinkhole by a spider demon. Dong Rui said angrily: "Is there anything that is not weird?"

The cave is not exposed to daylight. Fortunately, the cave spider transplanted fluorescent spores into it, which acts as a street light. The passage is still quite bright.

"You touch this stone wall."

Dong Rui reached out and touched the cave wall. It was not very hard, as if it was covered with a thin layer of soft skin, and the color was slightly ocher.

Is there moss growing on the stone wall? He looked carefully and saw that there was no such thing. Instead, there were traces of vines growing on the rocks everywhere.

"Strange, there is such a stone?"

And He Lingchuan was busy concealing his shock and had no time to talk.

The little spider who led the way turned a few corners and led the two of them to a stone room:

"arrive."

There were several spider monsters guarding here, so it retreated.
