"Ancient Elephant Man?" Qining was startled.
Qi Ning already knew a lot of secrets about the great masters from the previous trip to the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, and also concluded that the reason why the great masters in the world are able to achieve their current achievements is probably in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom.
From Ximen Wuhen's words, Qining had already gained insight into the origins between several great masters.
When Mu Yunhou of the Northern Han Dynasty was still a prince, he secretly sent an envoy to the Guxiang Kingdom. At that time, Mo Lancang, the owner of Baiyun Island, was just a chess slave next to Beitang Huanye. He also went to Guxiang, as far as Ruo Beigong Liancheng , in order to pursue the way of swordsmanship, he went to the far west. Although there is no conclusive evidence, there is a high probability that it also appeared in the ancient elephant.
As for the leader of the Black Lotus, Qin Ning remembered that after he regained his memory, he took him through the Snowy Mountains for a long time and arrived at a snow cliff. The leader was very familiar with the path there, and it seemed that he was not new to the snowy mountains.
In other words, all five great masters appeared in the Guxiang Kingdom.
Ksitigarbha has the cultivation of a great master, but she transformed into Mrs. Suying. Qining still does not know the true identity of Ksitigarbha, and cannot find any evidence to prove that Ksitigarbha also appeared in the ancient elephant.
But Zhuo Xianer suddenly revealed that two of the six Ksitigarbha envoys were ancient elephant people. Does that mean that Ksitigarbha had indeed visited Guxiang
Zhuo Xian'er saw the doubtful look on Qining's face, nodded slightly and said: "Ksitigarbha once traveled to countless places in search of panacea, and also visited the ancient elephant. The Flame Messenger and the Angel Photographer were just Children, as far as I know, both of them almost died at that time, but Jizo took them in and they survived."
"Looking for a panacea?" Qi Ning was even more surprised: "Does Xian'er know what medicine she is looking for?"
Xian'er shook his head slightly and said: "What kind of panacea are we looking for? I...actually don't know. We followed Ksitigarbha, and she...she didn't tell us everything. Sometimes...sometimes she was alone and silent, and would say Some strange words, but we didn’t dare to ask any more questions.”
Qi Ning was even more curious, but immediately thought that although several great masters had appalling peak martial arts cultivation, they all suffered from it. The two energies of extreme heat and coldness backfired on their bodies. Several great masters They have all experienced such torture. Since Ksitigarbha also possesses the cultivation level of a great master, of course he cannot escape such torture.
Dharma King Zhuri and Mo Lancang have been looking for a good medicine to relieve pain, and they have secretly made deals for this purpose, so it is reasonable for Ksitigarbha to search for good medicines everywhere.
"Then Xian'er's origin...?"
Xian'er's skin is fair and her body shape is that of a typical southern woman. Naturally, she cannot be from an ancient elephant.
"Xian'er...!" Zhuo Xian'er pondered for a moment before saying: "Xian'er's father is a merchant. He was originally from the Chu State. In the early years, Chu and Han were not at war with each other like they are now. Trade, my father purchased fur goods from the north and sold them in the south...!" She raised her head slightly and recalled the past: "Originally, the business was booming, and our family settled in the northeast. However, my father later offended an official for some unknown reason, and disaster fell from the sky. Before we were arrested, they arranged for us to escape. Shortly after we left, my father was detained and imprisoned. My mother sent someone to inquire about the news, only to find out that they had charged my father with being a spy. Not only had all the family property been confiscated, but my father was also in prison. Die...!"
Qining felt Xian'er's delicate body trembling slightly, and even more tightly held Xian'er's little hand.
"My mother took me all the way north to the grassland, but not long after, she became seriously ill." Xian'er said: "We were helpless on the grassland, and my mother died soon. I remember that I was only four years old at the time and couldn't handle my mother's funeral. An old sheepherder helped me bury my mother, but he wanted me to be his slave...!" He smiled bitterly: "I had no other choice, and at that time I didn't even think about it. It’s not up to me to agree. After my mother was buried, I went to herd the sheep with him...!"
Qining suddenly understood why the vast and lonely rhythm could appear in Xian'er's piano music. Living in the water town of the south of the Yangtze River and having never experienced the harsh cold of the north, it was hard to believe that a person could experience the desolate taste of the north, but it turned out that Xian'er My son actually lived in the northern grasslands.
For a four-year-old girl, her parents are dead and she is left alone on the grassland as a slave. It is of course an extremely miserable situation.
Xian'er saw the loving look in Qining's eyes, smiled softly, and continued: "The old man herding sheep naturally doesn't have any good intentions, he...!" At this point, a chill appeared in her beautiful eyes: "That night he turned into an animal. I ran barefoot on the grassland. The grassland was too big and I couldn't see anyone. He was like a wolf, chasing me all the time. If...if Jizo hadn't appeared, I Long dead."
Qi Ning's heart trembled. Although Xian'er said it simply, he could think that that night was an unforgettable nightmare for Xian'er. At this time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude to Ji Zang.
"Ksitigarbha made him unable to move, and then handed me the scimitar that the old man carried." Xian'er said: "I used that knife... to cut the old man's throat...!"
Qi Ning's heart trembled, but Xian'er smiled bitterly and said: "Master Hou, do you think I am vicious-hearted? I have killed people at a young age...!"
"I just wish I wasn't with you at that time, otherwise I would have done it myself." Qining sighed: "Ksitigarbha saved you, she is your benefactor."
"Yes, she is my benefactor. If it weren't for her, I would have died long ago." Xian'er said: "From that day on, I was taken in by her. Not only did she take care of my life, but... she also taught us martial arts. Then At that time, she had already taken in four people, and a year later she took in the powerful messenger. She said that the six of us were the messengers around her, gave us six names, and told us that the world is full of ruthless evil demons and heretics. She will lead us to eradicate all evil spirits and heretics in the world."
Qi Ning nodded slightly. Of course, the six Ksitigarbha envoys were all orphaned children who were rescued by Ksitigarbha in times of crisis. They suffered misery when they were young and naturally resented the world. Ksitigarbha took advantage of this to train them. It has become a tool to stir up trouble.
"When Ksitigarbha took you in, Yanmo seemed to be quite old." Qining asked, "How old was Ksitigarbha at that time?"
"Emissary Yanmo is the oldest among the six envoys of Ksitigarbha, and he was also the first to follow Ksitigarbha." Xian'er said: "When I was taken in by Ksitigarbha, Yanmo was already in his twenties, and his martial arts was somewhat accomplished. , so he can be regarded as our eldest brother. He was also taken in by Ksitigarbha when he was a child...!" After thinking for a moment, he said: "We never know how old Ksitigarbha is. I remember that he was taken in by Ksitigarbha. When I was young, he looked less than thirty years old, and seemed to be only a few years older than Yanma Messenger. However, Yanma Messenger said that when Ksitigarbha took him in, he looked like that. Ksitigarbha seemed to have never Never grow old."
Qining immediately thought of the old monsters Beigong Liancheng and Mo Lancang. They were already very old, but their appearance remained in their prime. Time seemed to have no effect on them.
"Xian'er, has Ksitigarbha been injured?" Qi Ning asked softly: "She is looking for panacea everywhere to heal herself?" She thought that Xian'er had followed Ksitigarbha since she was a child. If Ksitigarbha really suffered pain, Zhuo Xian My son will definitely notice it.
Xian'er hesitated to speak, seeming a little embarrassed. Qining hurriedly said: "I just said, if you don't want to say it, I won't embarrass you."
"Actually...!" Xian'er hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "She is looking for a panacea, and it seems that she wants to bring someone back to life."
"Resurrection from the dead?"
Xian'er nodded slightly: "As far as I know, when Ksitigarbha took Yanmo in, he was also on the way to find a panacea. In fact, we didn't dare to say much about this in private, and Ksitigarbha never mentioned it to us. It's something." After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "Ksitigarbha treats us very well. Sometimes she is very strange and often talks to herself alone. One time... one time I saw her sitting by a pond, talking to herself. He speaks words that are incomprehensible."
"What did she say?"
Xian'er was thoughtful and then said: "I remember she said this." She pretended to be Ksitigarbha and said softly: "You don't have to live forever, as long as you open your eyes and listen to my two words, then in this life I feel at ease, I will definitely find a way to wake you up...!"
Qi Ning was startled and frowned: "Who did she ask to open her eyes?"
Xian'er shook her head and said: "I don't know either. She often repeats these words alone, but we never know who she is talking about, and we never dare to ask. But...since she said that, then she is looking for a panacea. , it should be to make the man open his eyes, but the man seemed to be drowsy, so Ksitigarbha wanted to find a panacea to wake him up."
"Then how long has Ksitigarbha been talking to himself like this?"
"Yanmo has occasionally heard her say this since she was a child. When I was around her, I also heard her say it more than ten times...!" Xian'er frowned and said, "At least it's so fast. Thirty years…!”
Qi Ning said in horror: "Thirty years? Then...that means that she has been looking for the so-called panacea for the past thirty years, and the person in her mouth has been sleeping for thirty years?" She just thought it was incredible. , which allowed Ksitigarbha to keep a diary for thirty years, and spared no effort to find a way to make that person wake up. Who is that person, so that a person like Ksitigarbha is willing to do all this for him
