December 5, 68 of the Altienne calendar, the ruins of Huaguo Shanshui Lian
The truth is right in front of you, do you have enough courage to uncover the secret of the taboo? Regarding this question, Nier found it ridiculous. In just half an hour, she had already endured too many shocks. Although she can't say that she is courageous now, her paralyzed heart can definitely withstand all shocks. What else is it? Can't face it.
"I think there is no need to ask me this question. If I say no, will you go away? You have already arrived here, so you can complete your task!"
The repeated shocks did not stop Ni'er from thinking. When Yan Ning gradually restored the truth and told herself the truth, she had a vague premonition. She felt that there should be something other than Bailudong's younger brother. Identity, it is precisely this identity that made her especially appear in front of her, revealing these secrets for herself.
"Heh, what a clever girl. That's okay, I don't have to play the role of a mysterious bad woman all the time."
Ran Ning raised a finger and said: "The secrets you want to know are all under that ginkgo tree."
Following the direction of Yan Ning's fingers, Nier looked at the ginkgo tree on the highest point of Huaguo Mountain. In the pure white snow, the tall and upright ginkgo trees stretch out their branches, and the emerald green ginkgo leaves are faintly flowing with colorful brilliance, which are particularly dazzling in the dark night.
In the past that Yan Ning said before, Nier remembers the part about this ginkgo tree. It was planted together with Xiao Qiao and Yan Ning by the iron-faced monster, as evidence of military training and reform, other than that. There is no special meaning, and there should be no secrets at all, so...
(Ah! That mine...)
Nier suddenly remembered. The story that Yan Ning said also mentioned another point. In the Huaguo Mountain under this ginkgo tree, there is an abandoned mine. There are guardians patrolling in the pit and entering the mine to explore. The three of Gong Jin almost lost their lives in it.
When Xiao Qiao took away the magic ring of freedom in the mine, the magic leopard guarding the mine did not disappear, but continued to block the front, preventing the three of Xiao Qiao from going deep. Obviously there was something else in the depths of the mine. There are secret treasures, and now Yan Ning said that the secret to explain her past is under the ginkgo tree, does it mean that mysterious mine?
"Are you ready? Please."
Yin Ning turned around and walked ahead. There was no sign of light work, but the whole body was very fast and lightly, and suddenly floated far away, out of the village entrance.
"Is this a provocation? I'm afraid you won't make it."
Nier gritted her teeth and immediately followed, unfolding Jiu Yao's extremely fast posture, and quickly caught up with Yan Ning, followed closely behind, watching her in a white robe moving with the wind, her posture is chic and elegant, really Like a white crane flying high, I can't help but admire and admire it.
The two arrived at the entrance of the mine one after the other, where it has been in disrepair for a long time and has long been sealed by dust, mud and rocks. With a wave of Yan Ning's hand, the thick soil and rock piles collapsed and collapsed immediately, appearing in a loud noise. After the dark passage inside, the endless sight seems to be bottomless.
"The treasure hunt that has been a hundred years apart, please put an end to this journey!"
"Go ahead!"
Nier didn't dare to relax her guard, let Yan Ning walk in the forefront, and she followed behind two feet away. Although her liking for Yan Ning had not changed, the situation was strange, and she had to be more vigilant.
Yin Ning had no objection to this arrangement, and walked forward with a smile, and entered the dark tunnel. The two of them walked all the way, the surrounding rock walls shone with light, and they maintained weak lighting in the dark. Even the road seemed to flash and flash, as if stars were shining straight on the ground.
Nier used the power of heaven to scan and sense, and she could easily perceive the devilish energy contained in the cave, and the traces of swords on the surrounding stone walls were obviously left by fierce fighting. Remember Yan Ning said that she and Tiemen The ladyboy and the wives of the iron-faced ladyboy came in together. They used to fight all the way here. The battle was very hard, but now I wandered in with Yan Ning, but nothing abnormal happened. This is really a very weird thing.
(Could it be...)
Ni'er had actual combat experience with this kind of cave. The situation of the underground cave in Shangri-La still made her remember. The "Crypt of the Brave", which was originally full of various monsters, has been conquered by Yuxue. Just follow his call and speculate based on this theory that the reason why the monsters in this mine did not appear should be...
"You guessed it right. After I left the Guiyi rebels, I stayed here for a long time, cracking the secrets in the mine, and found the secret treasures hidden in it. Later, until three years ago. , Until the last visitor left, no one else has been here in between and after."
Ran Ning walked in front, but she answered as if she could see through Nier’s mind; Nier looked at her white robe lingering in the dark, and only felt that although this figure was close at hand, It was as vague and unreal as a ghost, and this whole monster cave became another deep dream.
"Every treasure has its origin, its beginning, and this place is of course no exception. Do you know where the Huaguo Mountain area was two thousand years ago?"
Nier is carefully paying attention to the geography and route of the cave, and she doesn’t care about Yan Ning’s question. She thinks that two thousand years ago is the period of the Kyushu War, she replied without thinking: “Could it be the area occupied by demons, or The devil’s important town, right?"
"Wrong, two thousand years ago, this place was called Huaguoshan, and it was already an abandoned mine. Except for the more birds and beasts, and the denser woods, the rest is the same as what you see now, and it is also a barren mountain. One piece."
"Hey, what are you talking about? Are you tricking me on purpose?"
"No. I just want you to know that if the demons want to hide something without being discovered by humans, then they might choose the demon power towns and let the demons guard the army, but if there is a certain demons If you want to hide things, don't want humans to discover, and don't want to find them for your own people, then this kind of barren hills and remote areas with no one and no demons is a not bad place."
As Yan Ning said, she came to an open place with Nier, and saw that the traces of the sword on the stone wall were more complicated. Obviously, the battle that took place here was much fiercer than before, and many stone walls were dented. Marks, splashed with blood. When Nier saw the traces of leopard claws on the stone wall, she immediately understood that this was the place where Yan Ning fought and guarded the demon leopard in the first place.
"Are you here..."
Yan Ning ignored Ni'er's question, and walked forward, choosing one of the two fork roads ahead without hesitation. Nier quickly followed, and the two accelerated their pace, and suddenly passed the blockade that Gong Jin and others had been blocked by the demon leopard, and truly entered the restricted area.
Even though her heart is in a state of confusion, but seeing the truth is right in front of her, she can unlock the secret that Zhou Gongjin never opened back then. Ni'er can't help feeling a panic of tension, and her palms sweat frequently.
After passing through several tunnels in succession, two stone gates appeared in front of Yan Ning and Nier. The stone gate is thick and simple, without other decorations, but intricate engravings appear on the stone gate, black and red interlaced, like a totem.
At the first glance, Ni'er only thought it was the decoration on the stone gate, but Tianxin realized that it was wrong. When she closed her eyes, she immediately realized that the black and red engravings were not formed by carvings, but by the heavenly martial artist. Hit on the stone gate and condensed into the stone gate with strength, forming a solid seal to prevent outsiders from approaching. As long as someone touches the stone gate casually and is hit by the force's counterattack, he will be crushed in an instant.
(This power... is the magic skill, very strong, really strong...probably much stronger than my brother!)
To come to this conclusion in amazement, Nier felt incredible. The strength of his elder brother Lancelot’s devil power can almost be said to be the only one in the world. Even Qi Leis, who has practiced for more than two thousand years, can only keep pace with his brother at most. It is difficult to tell who wins and who loses. And this Shimen Institute The level of the magic power contained in it is obviously higher than that of brother and Qi Leisi. What kind of master possesses such ability?
Nier felt unbelievable, but the vitality lock of all things looming in the Shimen enchantment clearly confirmed this guess. The vitality of all things is well-rounded and old. It is definitely not forced to cast by force, but the warrior of Zhaitian is cast with pure heaven power and Tianxin consciousness. In other words, the person who seals this grotto has at least the martial arts of the iron-faced monster.
(During the Kyushu War, did the demons have such masters? Wouldn't they be the Great Demon King......)
With surprise, Nier walked two steps closer and took a look. At the center of Shimen, there was a faint dent in the palm print. If you don't look closely, it is almost impossible to detect. The dent of the palm print appeared at this position, which looked like a keyhole to open the stone gate, but Nier didn't even think about it for a while, what kind of palm could open the stone gate?
A palm with something special? Or is it a hand with some special palm prints? Since it is a key, there must be special conditions, and it cannot be opened by anyone. Especially, Nier always felt that the palm print was a little weird, it seemed small, not like an adult's palm.
With suspicion in her heart, Ni'er looked at Yan Ning again, but saw her with a weird expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if she was waiting for something.
"Open the door, since you have opened this place, you must know how to open the door."
"Oh, I do know, but you still have to do the job of opening the door, because this is a job that only you can complete."
Yin Ning's smile replied, making Ni'er feel up and down, and she really doubted whether she had fallen into a trap and was being used by others because of this.
But now there is no way out. If you turn around and leave, all problems are still problems, and you can't figure out anything. If you can explain the truth of all the secrets, they are hidden behind this door, and now there is no reason to shrink back.
"...zizi...zizizi..."
When Nier was about to open the stone gate, there was an unusual sharp whistling sound outside. Nier was shocked, and immediately took two steps back and looked at Yan Ning.
"Don't be too weird. Since it is a secret treasure, when you open the treasure, you will encounter the jackal who snatches the treasure."
Yin Ning smiled and said: "In fact, I was a little surprised. They would wait until this time before doing anything. The efficiency is not good!"
"What do you mean by them..."
As soon as Nier asked, she saw the faintly flashing blood and fire shadow in the other cave entrance. The unique red light and shadow seemed to be vaguely familiar, and she immediately realized that it was the blood crow-like **** cast by Shi Chong a few days ago. After this period of time, I found myself again.
"Huh, I came to trouble when I was seriously injured. Now that I am cured, you will be better off!"
Nier geared up, preparing to vomit the resentment that these blood crows had forced to flee before, but as soon as she moved, she was immediately stopped by Yan Ning's palm.
"To deal with those shikigami, you don't need to do anything. There is a person who is as full of resentment as you, who is more anxious to vent his anger than you. Shi Chongcha feels that it is too late to come in person, and it is too late to send a master to stop him. , If you don’t want him to be satisfied, you should complete the task you should do."
Nier stared at the other end of the cave entrance, and saw that in the flash of blood, there was another black gas flying horizontally, chasing the blazing blood, and quickly extinguishing the blood crows one by one, look at that figure, It’s a cat-shaped Kiris, no wonder I didn’t see him just now. It turned out to be ambushed by Yan Ning, and quietly trailing behind, preparing to clean up the obstacles that may appear, but...
"How did you ask him to come and help? That stinky bat didn't listen to others at all."
"It's true that you don't listen, but if you let him know that removing the demon power absorbed by these things can make him return to human form early, he will be happy to serve as the oriole that preys on the praying mantis."
Yin Ning looked at the direction of Qiles' fierce battle, and said that if she continues to stay here, Nier may not be at ease, so she will monitor Qiles, and then float away.
(It feels weird, how come it feels more and more like being designed...)
With anxiety and doubts, Nier boldly stretched out her hand and pushed towards the palm print. She wanted to say that she would receive it at the touch of a touch, and the lightning movement would not hurt much even if there were any problems. How could she know if she touched her palm At the moment of the door seal, the whole person was struck by lightning, as if thousands of thunder and lightning penetrated through the palm of the palm and flowed through the body.
(Oops! Sure enough, I was hit, alas, I'm such an idiot, even the people in Bailudong believe it...)
Nier blamed herself for herself, and finally withdrew her hand from the intense electrocution, half-length tingling, staggered and fell a few steps, realizing that she had not suffered any major harm, an anger rose immediately, thinking Looking for Yan Ning to settle accounts, and asked her why she was playing tricks on herself like this.
"Hey, Bapo, did you deliberately fix..."
The sound was interrupted halfway. When Nier turned her head, Yan Ning had disappeared, and the breath of Yan Ning could not be sensed in the cave. Just wondering where she was running, suddenly a voice came from the other end of the corridor, someone Approach from the other side.
(Weird, isn’t the fighting over there really good? Why can anyone come from over there? Both Qilais and Yan Ning were killed? What kind of monster is each other?)
Confusion flashed through her mind, and Nier found something wrong with her. The footsteps sounded quite weird, not only unusually heavy, but also mixed with heavy metal and iron struck, as if a large piece of heavy steel was moving here. .
(What creature makes this sound? Is there really any monster? But here...)
Nier suddenly remembered something. In Shangri-La, when Airing appeared wearing T1000 armor, she faintly made such a voice. At that time, Ailing still had an explanation. That armor was due to the use of Taiyan Institute’s The latest technology, so although it is a metal structure, it moves very lightly, and the sound is not very loud, which is different from the traditional heavy armor. According to that, the person coming here is wearing armor?
This thought just flashed, and a stalwart figure had appeared from the end of the tunnel, striding boldly and approaching here.
It was a tall, big man. He was wearing a set of jet black armor covering his face. Nier couldn't guess his appearance, only that he must be a very bold and magnificent man. Because although he is just walking alone in the dark corridor, just looking at the posture of the dragon and tiger's steps, it is as if he is following thousands of people and thousands of horses, making people feel his extraordinary king aura, every step he takes. , Ni'er felt that her heart was also shaken, and she couldn't help but jump wildly.
There is a matching knife hanging from his waist, the style is surprisingly familiar. This person in black armor is undoubtedly a samurai, and the feeling that he exudes is not just the king's aura, the heavenly devil With the strong demon energy unique to the inheritor, even if the two sides are far apart, Ni'er can still feel a kind of unsatisfactory pressure.
(Gao, master, this breath...Is he the one who sealed this grotto?)
Nier looked sideways subconsciously, but the stone gate behind it turned into an ordinary stone wall, and the strange black and red patterns disappeared without a trace, completely different from what she had just seen.
(How could it disappear? Those seal patterns...)
Ni'er was surprised, and suddenly turned her head, the black armored warrior was already close in front of her. Ni'er was glancing down and saw the knife on the opponent's waist up close. She was shocked and admitted. After the knife came out, I also understood why I thought it was very familiar.
That's Lancelow's Fenghua Knife!
Why did the brother's knife fall into this man's hand? Nier only felt full of doubts. When she looked up, in this short glimpse, Nier didn't even see the color of the other's eyes, but a strange sense of familiarity came to her heart, as if she was herself I’ve seen this person somewhere, and have even known him for a long time, and have been close to him since a long, long time ago...
This person is like his own relatives. Although rationally telling himself that this is the first time I have seen him, the feeling of blood and blood he exudes is extremely intimate, and it is the same as when I first met my brother. It feels exactly the same, but stronger.
Furthermore, I don’t know why. I just saw him stepping forward, and the kind of domineering I felt after this brief glance, but completely changed. I no longer feel that he is supreme, but instead feel that ...He is very pitiful, a sorrow that makes people want to cry, pouring out from deep in his heart, and Ni'er's eyes moisturize unconsciously.
(Hate, how does it feel... Why am I so sad? Nothing happened, why am I...)
The iron palm covered by the armor penetrated through the lower abdomen. Nier did not feel pain, but was surprised to find that her body had already become translucent, as if it were a phantom unrealistic, so she was This palm penetrated, and there was no feeling, and the target of this person's palm was not himself, but the stone wall behind him.
"Boom!"
The palm strength is very heavy, and the inside contains the incomparable cultivation base of the magic power. After shooting the stone wall, it did not burst and burst, but submerged in it, spread rapidly, and compared with the vitality of all things originally sealed in the stone wall. After the locks were combined and the seal symbols were confirmed, countless intricate black and red engravings appeared on the surface of the stone wall, and a burst of stone chips fell down, followed by a shake of the stone wall, and opened it to the left and right.
The black armored warrior slowly entered the stone room. Ni'er woke up like a dream. She realized that she might be witnessing the past historical memory of this cave in the form of a phantom. Now she turned her head and looked back. scene.
The stone room is not big, and the facilities inside are very simple, except for the upright platform in the middle, there is nothing else.
The upright platform has a strong flow of energy, and it is a very pure magic energy. Obviously it is a facility that someone has deployed with the magic power of the sky. It itself forms a cyclic system. As long as the stone platform is not damaged, this system will be experienced. There will be no interruption for thousands of years. As for the purpose of this facility, it appeared half a foot above the platform, a black ball of light drifting there, bright in color, and full of energy, showing that the ball of light was being protected by the vitality lock of all things.
(That should be the secret treasure of this abandoned mine? I don’t know what is hidden in this ball of light?)
Before the black warrior walked to the platform, with a wave of his hand, the ball of light that had haunted the black brilliance slowly descended on the platform, and then even the black light curtain disappeared, revealing what was inside.
Nier took a closer look and saw a bamboo basket lying horizontally on the platform with a small silk quilt inside. A baby girl was sleeping soundly in it, with a small nose, red lips, and white. The red skin inside can be broken by a blow, and it will be a beauty embryo in the future... It's a pity that the small sharp corner on the forehead seems a bit obstructive.
(It turned out to be a demon...)
Surprised by the beauty of the baby, Nier couldn't figure out why the baby was sealed in this stone room. This baby seems to be not even full-term. Although I don't know how old it is, it doesn't look like a horrible look that will cause harm to the world. It is no different to imprison her in this abandoned mine. It is really unreasonable.
Nier was puzzled, and suddenly there was a metal and iron clash next to her. She saw that the armor of the black armor warrior next to her moved apart and slowly disintegrated to the two sides.
I'm very curious about what this person looks like under the heavy armor. Nier relied on the other party to be unable to see herself, so she walked around in front of him, and wanted to see his true face after removing his armor for the first time, to see if he was really like herself As tall and mighty as expected, looks impressive.
"This...how can..."
Ni'er exclaimed, she didn't expect to see such a sight. The people who walked out of the heavy armor were not only not tall and heroic, but they were also surprisingly elegant, especially when compared to the huge armor. With a thin, innocent and sad look, no matter what Nier looks at, she only feels that the other party is just a child. Just looking at this, how can there be the slightest majesty and posture of the king?
How old are you? Twelve, thirteen? From the outside, it is only fourteen at most. It hasn't entered a stagnant period, right? How do young boys of this age practice martial arts like this? Why does he hide his appearance with armor? It must be...under a lot of pressure, there are many reasons that make people hard to tell!
Nier stood there, stunned, looking at this young man who should be strange, but who made herself feel extremely familiar, with a very gentle expression, she stretched out her hand to tease the baby girl who seemed to have been born a short time ago. Although he was a demon with long horns, the smile of this young man felt very soft, and he wanted to get close to him more.
"Sorry, you must be here alone, but recently it has been an eventful period. The turmoil between humans and demons has made the situation unsafe. When I have completed the contract with the human representatives, we will put you together. If you pick it up, you won’t be alone here anymore."
The sleeping baby girl was awakened by the teasing of his fingers. She opened her golden eyes and giggled, as if she was very happy.
"Originally, I wanted to entrust you to my fourth brother to protect you. If he protects you, there is no way to hurt you no matter what powerful enemy. He is a good man and has always guarded me in the past. If he protects you, I will Don’t worry, but Aunt Jianning objected and asked me to hide you in a place that neither humans nor demons could find, so I had to put you here. You used to be most afraid of loneliness, but now you are let go. It must be very unhappy here!"
The joyful laughter of the baby girl did not reveal any unhappiness at all, and this seemed to make the teenager much better. He looked around, faintly scanning every corner, paused for a while on a circular protrusion on the west side, Ni'er followed, but didn't see anything special.
"The reforms I have made have many people opposed, not just humans, but there are also many objections among the demons. There is a lot of resistance and there is still a long way to go. Although the human representatives said they are willing to The contract is concluded, but it does not rule out the possibility that they have other plans...I don’t want this premonition to come true, and I don’t want to do it with them. In the list of representatives this time, there is your brother Elsis, if we do it. , You must be very uncomfortable!"
Nier only knew at this time that the baby girl’s name was Elsis. It’s a good name, but it seemed that something was wrong. The boy’s tone of speech didn’t seem to be to the unsolved world at all. It’s really weird that my baby girl talks to some... some woman who is even older than him!
I didn’t have time to think about it, I only saw the sadness on the boy’s face, and he sighed again. The small shoulders seemed to carry too much weight beyond his capacity, making the sigh strangely heavy. .
"However, no matter how difficult this road is, I will go on. In my lifetime, I must build an ideal world where humans and demons can work together to seek the future. This is my original promise to you. I will give you that world so you won’t call me stupid anymore!"
"Lonely summit talks may not be peaceful, but I will stick to my principles. Even if humans turn their faces, I will not fight back. Living in a peaceful world is the common dream of all races, as long as I can Show kindness and sincerity, they must be able to understand... Oh, maybe it’s just that I think too much, Elsis, your brother and friends are reasonable people, since you have shown that they are willing to negotiate, I believe they will not make The villain means, because...they are the people you believe in!"
"It’s late, I’m leaving. If you stay here for too long, it’s not good for people to notice your presence. When the lonely summit talks over, I’ll pick you up right away, and I won’t let you there. It’s lonely here, but before that, just continue to sleep in the enchantment. You told me before that children all need to dream!"
Speaking softly, the demon boy stood up, preparing to wave his hand to raise the black light curtain, but the baby who had been laughing suddenly started to cry. Instead of the previous chuckle, the baby girl was crying and making noise in the bamboo basket. It was useless to coax the boy anyway. She even grabbed his belt, holding her little hand tightly, as if she knew it was gone. No matter how difficult it is to meet, why don't you let him go.
"No way, if I stay here forever, then Elsis, you won't see the world you want. Isn't this bad? Alright, alright, don't cry!"
Coaxing was useless, the young man had to make a compromise in the end. He took the knife from the waist of his armor and put it in the bamboo basket with the sheath, letting the baby have something to hug, and gradually let go.
The black light curtain once again enveloped the bamboo basket, causing the baby in the enchantment to fall asleep, and slowly float into the air half a foot above the platform. Seeing that the baby was properly protected, the young man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, put on the heavy black armor again, and was ready to leave.
Walking to the door, half a step out, the boy couldn't help turning his head, looking at the sleeping baby holding a knife in the black ball of light, his eyes were full of reluctance.
This look made Nier feel agitated again. Even though she didn’t understand all of these personnel backgrounds, she already felt a lot of things in the teenager’s sigh, including the teenager’s helplessness and hard work, including the teenager’s cherishment and attention to this baby girl, including the teenager’s going to go on a date. , And even if the young man didn't know it, Nier knew that this date was perilous, and it was definitely not as easy as he said.
Nier has a more ominous intuition, just like the baby girl in the bamboo basket, she feels that if this young man leaves, he will never come back, never come back again.
Sorrow, guilt, intolerance, pity, a variety of incredible emotions, suddenly surged from the bottom of my heart, Nier's mood was agitated, forgetting that this may be an ancient picture thousands of years ago, and she couldn't help but ran to a teenager. In front of him, I wanted to stop him from leaving. And while she was standing in front of the teenager, a throbbing that she didn't even know how to explain made her blurt out a name.
"...Little Iron..."
The voice was so soft that Nier didn't even notice what she said, she just trembled her hands and tried to touch the delicate face covered in the iron mask in front of her eyes, but before her fingers touched her, the boy had already turned and left. , The heavy stone door was put down, and the whole stone room plunged into darkness again.
