Chapter 4, the old village chief's request
After Shu Yi heard this, he became more and more curious and said: "Why is the Desert of Death so strange? Please ask the village chief to explain it to me."
"It's a long story!"
The old village chief sighed and said slowly: "If you want to know the specific situation of the Death Desert, you must first understand some historical stories about the fall of Yueling Kingdom..."
Thousands of years ago, the Yueling Kingdom had a vast land and rich resources, a wealthy country and a prosperous people, and many powerful people. In Yun Chongzhou, it was considered a very powerful country, and it was also well-known in the entire Tianluo Continent.
At that time, there were four major families in Yueling Kingdom: Dayue family, Tuoba family, Luo family, and Mo family.
Among them, the Dayue clan is the most powerful family, followed by the Tuoba clan. The Luo clan is mainly engaged in business and is the richest. The Mo clan was also prominent for a time, but their family fortunes declined and their power was relatively weak.
The Tuoba clan is a cultivating family with many masters. Moreover, the Tuoba clan is also the founding father of the country, holding half of the military power of the Yueling Kingdom. Their power is at the peak of their power, and they have a vague intention of usurping the country.
The patriarch of the Tuoba family has a legitimate daughter, named Tuoba Yan. She was born in a moon-shy flower. She has the beauty of a country and a city. She is crowned the most beautiful woman in the Yueling Kingdom.
Mo Sang is the legitimate son of the Mo family. He and Tuoba Yan met at a family gathering. The two were talented and beautiful, and they couldn't help but have a good impression of each other. Later, they often dated in private.
The leader of the Tuoba clan intended to win over the Mo family secretly to prepare for future uprisings. He quite agreed with the affairs of the two juniors and secretly added fuel to the flames.
At that time, the Mo family was weak, and they had long wanted to marry the Tuoba family. With this God-given opportunity, of course they valued the marriage more and more, and secretly made some promises.
The current king of Yueling Kingdom is wise and wise, with hands and eyes that are astute. He has secretly discovered some clues about Tuoba's disobedience, and he is quite afraid of Tuoba in his heart.
Therefore, we will definitely not let the Tuoba clan continue to grow in power, and we will nip all kinds of hidden dangers in the cradle.
Not long after, an imperial marriage certificate appeared in the Tuoba family. The king granted marriage to the eldest prince and Tuoba Yan, and they chose the right time to get married...
This balancing act is hard to guard against!
In this way, not only has the Tuoba family been married, but the throne can also be stabilized. The Tuoba family does not dare to refuse, and can only accept the fact with pain and joy.
Not only that, the king also wants to suppress the Mo family to rectify the royal power and let those forces who are making small moves in secret understand that the imperial power cannot be violated.
The power of the Tuoba family is deeply rooted and cannot be easily touched at the moment. It is expedient to win over, but the Mo family, who has fallen into power, can still make some adjustments.
It is conceivable that when the emperor was angry, the Mo family was destroyed in an instant.
I just didn't expect that Mo Sang escaped early, burying a huge disaster. Then the cause and effect cycle, and the Yueling Kingdom also suffered a disaster.
Mo Sang was originally a very smart man. After his family was ruined, he fled to the Wujiang area thousands of miles away and got the true biography of the Wushen by chance.
For the blood feud, Mo Sang endured the humiliation and practiced hard for decades, forgetting food and sleep, and finally became a witch god...
After Shu Yi heard this legendary story, she felt deeply moved.
In order to stabilize the throne, the Da Yue clan did a little too much, but it is understandable.
Mo Sang endured the humiliation and avenged his people, which was commendable, but he was too cruel to drag the entire kingdom along with him.
Gratitude and resentment, whether it is right or wrong, who can say clearly!
It's just that the heaven and the earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs.
Unexpectedly, the village chief turned out to be a survivor of the Dayue clan.
At that time, there were still some members of the Dayue clan who were traveling abroad, so they luckily escaped. The village chief is a descendant of one of them.
Moreover, most of the villagers in Wangyue Village are descendants of the Dayue clan.
It's not that the Da Yueshi are nostalgic and reluctant to leave their homeland. Nowadays, this desert is a barren land with inconvenient transportation and lack of materials. It is not suitable for survival. Those who can leave have long since left.
It's just because for these thousands of years, the Dayue clan people have been troubled by the curse of witchcraft and cannot leave this place.
What is frightening is that due to the curse of witchcraft, both men and women of the Dayue clan cannot live past the age of thirty. The thicker the bloodline, the more serious the impact. If they leave the Yueling Kingdom, their bloodline will dry up and they will age rapidly.
The old village chief is the current head of the Dayue Clan. Because his cultivation is not weak, and the dragon-headed scepter in his hand is a top-quality magic weapon that can ward off evil spirits, he lives longer.
Therefore, the Dayue clan had no choice but to survive in this barren land.
Nowadays, the population of Dayuezhi has declined, with only a hundred or so people left, and most of the clan members stay in this small village.
The witch god destroyed the country in one night, and the curse lasted for thousands of years.
Shu Yi was even more horrified. He didn't expect the witchcraft in this world to be so terrifying.
For thousands of years, the people of the Dayue clan have been looking for ways to lift the curse. After several generations of hard exploration, they finally found some methods.
Unfortunately, the conditions are too harsh.
There must be some rare treasures in the world, as well as high-level spell-breaking talismans made by masters of Taoism. Most importantly, there must be someone who can go deep into the Desert of Death. In the Desert of Death, there is fire poison in the daytime.
It breaks out, the cold poison rages at night, and the ubiquitous witchcraft absorbs people's souls. Within a moment, there are no bones left, and there are countless undead underground. Once they enter, they will never return.
Therefore, it is called Jedi, and its name is well-deserved.
But now, Shu Yi can walk out of the desert of death intact, giving the old village chief a glimmer of hope.
"Village Chief, I understand. If you need me to do anything, just tell me!"
Shu Yi understood the cause and effect, and knew that the old village chief must have something he wanted. He wanted to hear what he had to say first, and then he could help if he could.
The old village chief looked happy and said: "Young Master Shu, we have almost prepared the materials to break the curse. We still need a Qilin Pill, Millennium Resurrection Grass, Black Dragon Essence and Blood, and a high-level curse-breaking talisman. I hope that Young Hero can use it in the future."
Help us find it."
Shu Yi's face turned darker and darker. He had never heard of these things and asked him to go there to get them.
"Village Chief, are you kidding me? I have no clue about these things. How can I find them?"
"Don't worry, little friend, we have already found out some information, and it's all on this piece of vellum."
The old village chief took out a piece of brown paper from his arms and handed it to Shu Yi.
He glanced at it and couldn't understand it for a moment, and said: "It's not that I don't want to help you. Such a difficult task cannot be completed overnight. Even if I do it, what benefits will I get?"
The village chief was prepared and said: "Young hero, you also know now that there are countless treasures under the Desert of Death, and we, the Da Yueshi, have a way to open the treasures. As long as you can help us lift the curse, all those treasures will be yours.
.”
Treasure?
Shu Yi frowned. He had just come to this world and was not very interested in treasures.
The old village chief may have seen what he was thinking, and said quickly: "The treasure can only be opened by people with the blood of the Dayue clan, and there is only one princess left in my royal family of the Dayue clan. I have the final say to marry our princess."
for you."
Shu Yi's face was filled with dark lines and he was speechless. He didn't expect the village chief to say such a thing.
The women in this village were all sallow, skinny, and obviously malnourished, and none of them was attractive to him.
"Young hero, I don't know. Our Princess of the Yuezhi is as beautiful as a flower. She is the descendant of the eldest prince and Tuoba Yan. Compared with Tuoba Yan, the most beautiful woman in the Yueling Kingdom at that time, she has
Nothing less."
