Chapter 250 The Puzzling Secret

"Oh?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

"He is willing to see me. It seems that he already knew I would come before I came?"

Originally, he thought that after he came, he would have to spend some time talking, or at least he would have to pull a few more times on this matter, but he didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward and agreed directly.

When Miao Long heard Xu Bai say this, he showed a bitter smile and said, "Prince Xu, your words are serious. In the world of the Great Chu Kingdom today, you can see whoever you want to see, and no one can stop you. You actually want to know about this matter, so we can't hesitate at all."

"I know you must have doubts in your heart, why we have never mentioned it on our own initiative, but if we really want to talk about this, I can only say that everyone has their own secrets, and secrets are unwilling to be mentioned to others."

Xu Bai touched his chin and understood it in his heart.

He also understood this meaning.

The other party obviously didn't want these things to be known to others, but when the news of this matter had been revealed, it would be difficult to hide it no matter how hard you tried.

The truth cannot be hidden.

If other people knew about it, they might have room to turn around, either by choosing not to agree or doing something else, but Xu Bai knew about it, so there is another way of saying it.

Now, who in this world can stop Prince Xu?

If Prince Xu wants to know something, everyone in this world must agree.

"So, you think I'm forcing you, but I won't do such a thing." Xu Bai frowned.

He is a very principled person, and he has always adhered to this principle since he entered this circle.

Everyone in the circle also knows his temper. As long as they are familiar with him, they all know that he does things in a business way, and everyone is honest. What matters is an exchange between you and me.

Now the meaning behind these words is as if he is forcing them, so isn't he a bad person?

Miao Long heard this and knew that Xu Bai was a little unhappy now, so he quickly bowed his hands and apologized: "Lord Xu, you misunderstood us. We dare not say anything else, but I can assure you that you did not force us to do this, because we told him about your situation, and he thought about it for a long time and agreed."

"Voluntary?" Xu Bai glanced at Miao Long.

Miao Long quickly nodded: "Yes, it is voluntary."

Xu Bai waved his hand: "Then why don't you lead the way quickly, don't waste time, I am in a hurry to come out this time, and wipe the sweat on your forehead, I am not a bad person, I am usually very kind."

Miao Long was stunned, and then he realized that his forehead was covered with dense sweat, which was left just now.

Kind?

The Blood Slaughterer actually said that he was kind?

Everyone in the world knows Xu Bai's temper, and they are also aware of his erratic character, and they know the origin of the four words "Blood Slaughterer".

Now the Blood-Slaughtering Swordsman actually said that he was kind, which was simply unbelievable. Of course, Miao Long didn't dare to say these things.

"Then, please follow me, Lord Xu." Miao Long quickly turned around, stretched out his hand, and was about to lead Xu Bai.

Xu Bai nodded and followed Miao Long silently.

The two walked into the hall one after the other.

As for the remaining few people, they stayed outside and pretended to be a strict guard.

After entering the hall, it was empty inside, but the decoration was extremely luxurious.

Xu Bai looked at the Miaojiao Hall, which was different from his impression, and walked slowly.

Under the leadership of Miao Long, they soon passed through the hall and came to the backyard.

The backyard was also very spacious, with clean and tidy floor tiles everywhere, and the houses around the backyard were also very impressive.

"Go through here and walk up the mountain, and you will arrive soon." Miao Long was worried that Xu Bai would get tired of walking, so he turned back to explain to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai nodded and said, "Don't worry about me, just continue to lead the way."

After getting Xu Bai's response, Miao Long was relieved. He stopped talking nonsense and continued to walk in front.

After passing through the backyard, there is a straight mountain road. The steps of the mountain road are very exquisite. People feel that they have spent a lot of money at a glance.

Since all the buildings of the Miao religion are built on the mountain, when Xu Bai stepped into this staircase, he could see the outline of some buildings from time to time.

Fortunately, he didn't meet anyone along the way, so he didn't delay much time. After about half an hour, he finally reached the end of the road.

Not far ahead, there is a dense jungle. If you look from the outside, you can't see anything strange.

When Xu Bai saw the jungle, he subconsciously opened his soul and scanned it with his soul, and soon got the answer.

Through the scan of the soul, it can be felt that in the secret place of this jungle, an old man is sitting cross-legged on the ground.

In front of the old man was a lonely grave.

There was a stele in front of the tomb, but there was no name engraved on it, but some unrecognizable words. These words were not the words of the Great Chu State, so Xu Bai could not understand them.

But as his soul swept over, Xu Bai could sense that even the words he could not understand were conveying information to him.

"Is this the method of inviting gods?"

As the saying goes, one can draw inferences by analogy.

Xu Bai himself has the method of inviting gods at the saint level, which is already the top existence in this field.

So when he used his soul to sweep over, although he did not sense the existence of the progress bar, he could understand the content on it, and this content revealed a message.

- Invite gods!

The method of inviting gods on this is different from the method he has mastered, but another method of inviting gods.

The so-called other method of inviting gods is not to invite gods to possess the body, nor to invite gods to come to one's side. To be precise, this method of inviting gods is to invite gods over, then kill them and seize their power.

Of course, even if Xu Bai was an expert in this field, he still couldn't grasp everything after just using his soul to scan for a while, so he only took a rough look.

However, his interest had already been aroused, especially when he thought about what big secrets were waiting for him to discover next, he became more and more excited.

Miao Long was still walking in front, and he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned his head and looked behind him, and saw that Xu Bai's expression was a little excited.

"Prince Xu, what are you doing..."

He was a little confused. Originally, Xu Bai's expression was very normal along the way, but why did he suddenly become so excited? This was a little abnormal.

Xu Bai hummed, said nothing, and waved his hand.

Miao Long also knew that Xu Bai didn't want to say more at this time. He just felt a little curious, but Xu Bai didn't say anything, and he didn't have the leisure to ask, so he continued to lead the way in front.

The two continued to walk, constantly passing through the dense forest, and after walking for a while, they finally stopped.

"We're here, Prince Xu, it's inside." Miao Long pointed to the front and said.

At first, Xu Bai saw the scene with his soul, but now, Xu Bai witnessed it all with his own eyes.

Not far away, the old man turned his back to them, still sitting cross-legged on the ground, guarding the grave in front.

"You guys chat first, after the chat, Prince Xu can return the same way, I won't disturb you."

Miao Long is sensible and has good eyesight. He knows that it is not appropriate to stay here at this time, so he turned around and left.

After Miao Long left, the place became a little deserted. The old man kept his back to Xu Bai and did not speak, as if waiting for Xu Bai to speak first.

Xu Bai touched his chin: "This atmosphere is well created."

The environment of the dense forest is very deep, coupled with an isolated grave and an old man, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression, but all this is not a problem for Xu Bai.

Since he remained silent, he came to break the silence, a very simple truth.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai walked forward and came directly to the old man.

Before he could speak, his eyes slightly focused, and he found something wrong.

"Why do I feel familiar?"

Xu Bai looked at the old man in front of him, walking back and forth.

The old man opened his eyes and stared at the tombstone in front of him without saying a word. He let Xu Bai look at him as if he didn't see Xu Bai.

And the feeling that this old man gave Xu Bai was that he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He could confirm that he had never seen this old man before, and the old man was old, and the wrinkles on his face were like crisscrossing gullies. As long as he took a look, he could remember it clearly.

So Xu Bai could confirm that he should not have seen this old man.

But what was the matter with that inexplicable sense of familiarity?

Xu Bai didn't say anything, just stared at the old man's facial features. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt.

Originally, he wanted to speak, but after looking at it, he fell into deep thought.

At this time, the old man's eyes finally turned back and fell on Xu Bai.

"Prince Xu...right?"

After the old man spoke, Xu Bai came back to his senses from his deep thoughts and nodded slowly.

"Old man, why do I feel that you look familiar?"

Since it has come to this, it is natural to say what you want to say. Xu Bai does not want to be sloppy, let alone beat around the bush. He likes a straightforward approach.

The old man did not show any surprise when he heard Xu Bai's inexplicable words, but instead looked very normal: "Then I guess you have really seen it..."

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows: "Where have you seen it?"

The old man's answer just now was a bit confusing. Xu Bai pressed on, without giving the old man any chance to turn around, and asked directly the reason.

The old man's eyes were cloudy, and he looked like he was about to die: "Prince Xu...maybe it was not me who saw it, but my ancestor. Well...to be precise, Prince Xu should have seen my ancestor when he was young."

Xu Bai's eyes gradually focused: "Let's get to the point. I don't like to make blind guesses."

The more the old man talked, the more mysterious he became. Xu Bai felt that there was no need for this.

The old man was originally very calm, but after Xu Bai said these words, he was also slightly stunned, and finally sighed: "Miao Long said that Prince Xu has a strange temper. Now I finally understand it. Then I won't keep you in suspense. Prince Xu probably met my ancestors in the ruins."

Ruins?

Ancestors?

Xu Bai quickly came to his senses after hearing these words. He finally knew why he looked so familiar with this old man.

The facial features of this old man are very similar to the group of saviors he met when he entered the ruins last time.

And the old man looks like the leader of the saviors, that is, the one with soul-like abilities.

"Are you the descendant of the savior?" Xu Bai frowned.

No matter how you look at it, it meets this condition. Xu Bai feels more and more that this matter has become important.

The old man's eyes showed nostalgia: "Savior... It's a familiar name. Lord Xu, I knew you could find it. You must have come into contact with it. It seems that my guess is correct."

"You have come into contact with these in the ruins. So how do you think the savior saves the world? Is it reduced to food, or rebelling against the resource-depleted environment?"

Xu Bai rubbed his chin with his palm: "I don't know how to save the world, anyway, I know that it failed in the end."

This is true. He really doesn't know how it came, but it must have failed, otherwise it would not have become the current situation.

The old man nodded and admitted that Xu Bai was right: "It is indeed a failure. Only a few saviors survived, and this bloodline has been continuing. Lord Xu, do you know that even if people in that era treated us like this, we have always passed on this mission. I know that you really want to know some secrets, so please tell me."

Xu Bai fell silent after hearing this.

At this time, the amount of information is too much, and he doesn't know how to start.

But all this is not a big problem.

Xu Bai raised his head and said slowly: "How about telling me everything you know, starting from the subsequent development..."

Old man: "(_)"

To be honest, the old man has lived for such a long time, and he has met many people, but he has never met someone like Xu Bai.

So you come to ask about something, and you haven't figured out how to ask it yet, and you need me to tell you everything, is this appropriate?

But after thinking about it carefully, the old man also knows that Xu Bai has such a temper. After all, people in the world now have figured out Xu Bai's character.

"Alas..." The old man sighed silently: "I don't have many days to live. If so, then tell Prince Xu everything."

In the dense woods, the old man's voice sounded, and this voice, combined with the quiet environment, seemed to have some atmosphere.

...

This talk lasted nearly half an hour, and in this half an hour, Xu Bai received a lot of information, and he was also quickly sorting out the information he received.

When the last word was finished, the old man closed his mouth.

Xu Bai's face was a little complicated, looking at the old man in front of him with an inexplicable emotion.

He had already understood the cause and effect. This matter had to start from the team of saviors back then.

In order to avoid being killed, the saviors gathered together, but then they suffered a devastating blow because of one thing.

In order to save a baby girl, they acted rashly. Because of the reason for the action, they were discovered by some people in the industry and chased them all the way.

Those people in the industry were all extraordinary masters, and at that time, this group of saviors were only in the realm of transcendence.

When a group of people in the realm of transcendence were chased by extraordinary people, there was really only one way to die.

Fortunately, this group of saviors had super strength, so after suffering heavy losses, they finally escaped.

Xu Bai was very clear about this content. Isn't this the follow-up of Gao Guan at the beginning?

Xu Bai thought that this group of saviors had no way to escape, but unexpectedly, they finally escaped successfully.

After the saviors escaped, they became more low-key. Every day, they secretly went to find other companions, absorbed them into their own team, and then developed silently.

Nearly half a month passed like this, and many things happened in that half a month. For example, a saint master in the deep mountains and old forests was killed by other saint masters.

Not only that, another saint master was also seriously injured and disappeared.

"They really did it." Xu Bai thought.

There are three saints in the Mofa Pavilion, two saints in Tu's side, and the leader of a god-inviting sect at home. These guys actually slaughtered other saint masters in order to invite an unknown god.

More than half of the nine saints in the world have combined together, so it is a great blow to the other saints.

Later, they really succeeded, and in the end, there were only six saints left in the world.

Due to the depletion of resources, no one could enter in a short time.

Originally, these things were a good thing for the saviors, because it meant that they had fewer enemies, but they never expected that their disaster would finally come.

The six saints were like crazy, looking for saviors and imprisoning them.

The small group could only hide in this crazy search.

In this way, nearly half a month passed, and finally, the six saints used these saviors to start the invitation!

No one knew what happened that day. They only knew that on that day, cracks suddenly appeared in the sky, and soon, all the saints died.

No one knew how these saints died, but on that day, the world was in chaos.

The Mofa Pavilion and Tu fell apart, and the whole world was in chaos, with killing and darkness everywhere.

These people in the industry did all kinds of bizarre things for resources.

The saviors survived in such an environment.

In the end, this bloodline was continued.

The old man stopped talking here.

But Xu Bai knew that there were still some things that were not explained clearly.

"How did the resources disappear? How did they recover? And how did you survive? What is your purpose now?"

These are the most important clues. For some of the past history, it is just history after all. What really needs to be done is to find clues from these histories.

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "The resources just dried up inexplicably, and then recovered inexplicably. I don't know why."

"When all resources were exhausted, all people became ordinary people. They had the life span that ordinary people should have, and finally... all died."

"Without resources, there was even no food. Even those saviors could not survive."

"But in the end, the saviors found a way to survive."

"They began to kill each other because they were resources themselves. They were also crazy, and only some of them remained rational."

"My ancestor led the people he gathered to guard against the invasion of other saviors, but in the end... in order to survive..."

At this point, the old man stopped talking, with grief in his eyes.

Xu Bai knew the meaning behind it very well.

Even if the resources were exhausted, the saviors themselves were resources. Under the cannibalization of each other, even the old man's ancestors began to do it this way.

"So, this is the last way to continue?" Xu Bai said.

"Yes." The old man sighed: "Using this method, they have been struggling to survive. In the end, resources inexplicably began to recover. At that time, there were very few saviors left, but it was at that time that the ancestors found that everything started from the beginning. Human beings appeared again and began to develop gradually at an extremely fast speed.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.

According to the old man, everything started over and over again.

Why did he feel that this was like a circle, with no beginning or end.

"Later..." The old man didn't know what Xu Bai was thinking, and continued to say: "The ancestors suddenly understood their real responsibility, so they began to take on the path of educators."

Xu Bai raised his head suddenly: "You mean, the people in the industry today are all taught by the saviors at the time."

The old man nodded and said without disguising: "Yes, the saviors taught their own abilities to those people, and they continued to evolve to the current prosperous situation. We, as the bloodline of the saviors, have always been very clear. "

"And we found that no matter how hard the savior tried, he could not become a saint. At that time, we knew that this might be the fate of the savior."

"How can I be a savior? We are just a small role that plays a role in fueling the flames when this world starts from the beginning."

Xu Bai did not speak, he just looked at the old man in front of him.

There is a lot of information today, he needs to think about it, but not now.

Because now, he still has to make one last confirmation, that is, to confirm whether the old man is lying.

"Old man, although this is a little impolite, I still want to say it." Xu Bai said: "Let go of your soul, let me find out whether what you said is true or false."

The old man was not angered by this unreasonable request, but showed a relaxed look: "It should be so, but before that, I have one more thing to tell Prince Xu, otherwise Prince Xu will have to come again in the end."

Xu Bai said with interest: "Please speak."
