[The poisonous snake dies, the scriptures come out. Spread hope, keep kindling.]
"This legend is about Gu Jun, the hero of secrets. It happened in the last era of the earth. At that time, the world changed drastically, and many terrible plagues ravaged the world of his hometown. Heroes of secrets entered the world together with the goddess of hope in order to find the elixir for the cure. Dreamland."
"They arrived at the 'Giant House Island' and together they defeated a basilisk that was as huge as a house on the island. The Tianji hero cut open its abdomen with a knife, and the elixir and the "Seven Secrets of the Earth" were in its stomach! It turned out that it When I knew they were coming, I swallowed them all."
The more Peacock spoke, the more excited her tone became, but she tried her best to keep calm, but Mo Qing was already excited.
The secret hero and the goddess of hope fight the giant snake! This is the legend they never tire of hearing.
But on the other side, Gu Jun frowned slightly...
"But the cunning basilisk was not completely dead. It took advantage of the hero of Tianji to check the elixir and bit him." Peacock sighed softly, "The venom has gathered on the hero of Tianji, he can use the elixir to heal himself, but Then there will be no medicine available in the home world."
"Hero of Tianji didn't use the elixir. He used his last strength to open the space channel, and let the goddess of hope go back with the elixir and the spell book. He himself stayed in the dreamland forever... buried on the giant house island."
The peacock spoke vividly, and with a thick voice, he uttered the famous words that the hero of heaven and earth said to the Goddess of Hope: "'Where there is scripture, there is hope, and where there is hope, there is fire. And fire, one day will illuminate the whole world.' Since then From the beginning, this sentence has always inspired our race."
Gu Jun listened and thought, the problem is... I never said that at all.
"Heroes of Tianji also have many famous sayings and proverbs." Peacock added, "Those are the source of our spirit."
"A real warrior dares to face all fears, dare to look directly at any blood." Mo Qing said solemnly, his eyes seemed to have fire.
Gu Jun had a stomachache, he let out a breath, but his heart was suffocated, "Are you sure this is the truth?"
"This is a legend that everyone in our clan is familiar with." Peacock said, "That's all we know." She dare not say that this is the whole truth.
"It must be like this." Mo Qing was much fanatical and persistent than her, "It must be like this."
legend. Gu Jun understands that this is a kind of myth and legend. Even if he is asked to talk about the history books three hundred years ago, it may not be true, and word of mouth will continue to deform in the process. Some people exaggerate, others embellish, and finally It shows the mythical archetypes in the collective unconscious of human beings.
The legend of this mysterious hero going to the dreamland to find the elixir, sounds like Gilgamesh going to the underworld to find the elder's elixir, there is not much difference...
If what the peacock said is true, then in their generation, the heroes of heavenly secrets are not just figures like Gilgamesh, Yu, and Prometheus.
The legend is not 100% true, but it will express a part of the truth:
Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu did come to the Dreamland, they did defeat the enemy, Gu Jun did stay, and Wu Shiyu did bring things back.
"And then?" he asked, "What happened to the home world?"
"The "Seven Secrets of the Earth" ushered in the last golden age of the old world." Peacock spoke yearningly, "It was a peaceful and progressive time. The 'World Occult Alliance' was established, and the elite forces of various countries came together, I also walked in front of the people, and it is said that there are tens of billions of people."
There are tens of billions, but there are billions. Gu Jun thought, "World Occult League"
He has heard Master Tong and the others say that the Tianji Bureau will promote international cooperation and establish a new global organization, but is it so easy for human countries to unite
Especially united in quiet times? He doesn't quite believe that this should be another kind of beautification, or a reversal of the time of the event.
"In that era, heroes came forth in large numbers! These elites from all over the world inherited the spirit of the heroes of heaven and earth. They gained power from the "Seven Secrets of the Earth" and led the people to defeat those supernatural evils and knock down all the evil ones."
Peacock spoke proudly, but just like all roses withered after blooming, her complexion was the same: "After the golden age is over, it is the era of great mutations... First, there was an outbreak of 'blood lung disease', and it is said that this disease can be passed through It is airborne, and once infected, it can cause death in just a few days."
Gu Jun's heart suddenly turned upside down, airborne transmission, rapid onset, rapid development of the disease... He knew exactly what this meant...
"Blood and lung disease? Why is it called this name?" He asked, and a strange phantom flashed, destroying the hemoptysis of the foreign civilization.
"It is said that the disease started in the lungs of the patient, and then spread throughout the whole body." Peacock could not tell any more symptoms, "In the end, he would cough up blood and die."
Coughing up blood... Gu Jun could not help leaning against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes weakly, but hemoptysis is not airborne...
It's just that the legend will change shape... He feels that this blood lung disease is hemoptysis.
Why does hemoptysis still break out on the earth in the future story of Peacock and the others? Is it something that will be done in the next life
"In the era of great mutations, there are two other plagues." Peacock's voice also sank, "One is the 'petrification disease' that turns people into stones, and the other is the 'fish scales' that make people's skin break down." Heterosquamia'."
Gu Jun felt a heavy blow, multiple plagues broke out at the same time
Fish scales? If fish scales are just a metaphor for appearance, human beings already have the skin disease "ichthyosis", and heteroscale disease is possible...
But how to turn into stone? Is that the effect of a spell? Biologically it seems impossible at all.
Or is "stone" just a metaphor? Freezing...Locked-in syndrome
"What's petrification?" he asked. "Stones that turn into stones?"
"Well..." Both Peacock and Mo Qing were surprised by this question, and Mo Qing couldn't help but slightly annoyed: "A stone is a stone, a stone like a statue."
"The power of a mortal." Atar on the podium over there sighed, "It's really too small."
"These plagues took a very long time from the outbreak to sweeping the world." Peacock saw that the nightmare man was silent, and said again: "Within a year, cities all over the world collapsed, and the whole world fell into death and chaos. Alliance The heroes took the survivors and established the last human settlement in the old world, the 'Fire City' in Antarctica. But the plague was still approaching with the monsoon, and they finally... ten thousand fires moved into Leng."
Mo Qing's face was sullen, and he didn't sigh or make a sound, feeling lost for the withered glory of human beings.
"Oh." Gu Jun's mind was a little messy, staring at the two of them carefully observing and sizing up, but he felt more and more strange...
No, these two are not Asian faces.
Some subtle differences emerged that he hadn't noticed in the past few days. They were mostly Asian mixed-race faces, and they should have been mixed for many generations, so it was not particularly obvious. Global, migration, it's bound to happen...
Gu Jun could tell that they didn't seem to be lying, but he couldn't figure out what was going on in this matter.
Peacock was about to start telling the story of ten thousand fires arriving in the dreamland again. He stopped the other party and asked with a frown, "What happened to the Goddess of Hope you mentioned?"
