Luo Ling pondered for a moment, then poured out all the doubts she had accumulated to Yao Ji.
Including water shortage, war between ghosts and gods, and the "Ten-Sun Disaster".
"The lack of water... it's really a helpless thing."
Yao Ji showed some hesitation, and then said,
"In short, the surrounding water, including rainwater, has been polluted. The specific reason is a secret. I can't tell you for now. When the time is right, you will know it naturally."
I see. It’s the familiar Riddler style.
However, most of the riddles this time involve some of Yao Ji's unspeakable privacy, and Luo Ling also made an agreement with her not to explore the secrets between them.
"Unfortunately, the water-repelling spell cannot be used for the time being. All this water was transported from other places, and most of it was given to disabled veterans in the military camp. I only kept a part for daily use." Yao Ji said.
Luo Ling looked at the clean Yao Ji, and thought of the dirty Chi Nu, and asked,
"Sister Yaoji, how often do you take a bath?"
"Why are you asking that?"
Hearing this, Yao Ji immediately hugged herself tightly and asked vigilantly.
Luo Ling knew that this sister's imagination had never stopped.
"What I mean is," Luo Ling said helplessly, "the naked woman..."
"Oh, I understand." Yao Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I do it about once a month. On weekdays, I use some small spells to cleanse my body. They are just variations of my spell to call the wind and rain. I can't use large-scale spells for the time being, but this is no problem.
"As for Akane... She can't learn my magic, so she'll have to wait a little longer."
"Life tips?" Luo Ling blurted out.
Yao Ji was confused, "What is that?"
"nothing... "
Luo Ling coughed lightly a few times. She just didn't expect that there were other people like her who would develop their abilities to make life more convenient.
Most people with special abilities will focus their energy on how to kill the enemy better, faster and more efficiently, including my sister's puppet Ya.
Only Luo Ling always studies some unusual uses, and always achieves miraculous effects.
"Something about the war between ghosts and gods."
At this point, Yao Ji's expression suddenly became serious.
"I don't know what you call a 'ghost', but you should have seen it before. With the power of us mortals, we are completely unable to resist its harm. But... when disaster strikes, we can't just do nothing.
"Our Imperial Alliance was established for this purpose."
The Imperial Alliance was composed of two "Emperors", "Yan" and "Huang", and their tribesmen. Even after the two emperors had fallen, the Imperial Alliance still existed.
"Wait, has the Emperor fallen?"
Luo Ling said quickly, she was very curious about what kind of timeline she had stepped into.
"you... "
Yao Ji opened her mouth, but she really didn't know how to complain about Luo Ling, so she could only continue,
"They have been dead for a long time... I am curious, where are you?"
"Let's continue talking about the war between ghosts and gods." Luo Ling said without comment.
"All right."
Yao Ji nodded and continued.
The first large-scale war between ghosts and gods in ancient times was the world-famous Battle of Zhuolu, in which the Imperial Alliance completely defeated Chi You, the "Lord of War" who was infected by ghosts and gods.
The war at that time was particularly brutal. All of Chiyou's followers were the most powerful minions of ghosts and gods, and their powerful magic almost changed the world.
The Imperial Alliance was on the verge of collapse. At the critical moment, the goddess Ba stepped in and curbed the power of Chiyou's minions...
"Wait a minute, Tiannuba?"
Luo Ling blinked. She was very familiar with this name.
"Where is Tiannv Ba now?"
"?"
Yao Ji showed an expression that said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" and after a while she said,
"She died earlier than the Twin Emperors, and was infected by ghosts before her death. This is almost a well-known fact... Forget it, you don't even know half of the Twin Emperors. Also, don't interrupt me when I tell you my story. I've just reached the most exciting part!"
"Uh, go on."
Luo Ling sat back obediently.
At this point in time, Tiannu Ba had already died, so it seems that she came a little late
Yao Ji continued to tell the story, after the goddess Ba took action, the Imperial Alliance took the opportunity to attack.
Then, Luo Ling finally understood why Yao Ji said it was the most exciting part.
Next, the three imperial daughters joined forces with the two emperors to fight Chi You. Yao Ji emphasized her contribution, but Luo Ling felt that she was just a helper at the time...
In short, after the final battle, the "Lord of War" Chi You was completely sealed, but both emperors showed signs of being infected by ghosts and gods.
Before the final moment of their lives, the two emperors left behind heirs, managed the Imperial Alliance, and built a defense against the invasion of ghosts and gods. After completing all this, the two emperors walked into the place of infection from ghosts and gods together.
In the following years, their long-life soul lamps gradually dimmed until they completely dissipated.
Luo Ling remembered that she had heard the story of the "Emperor" leading the people to fight in the Great Xia Imperial City in the Xuanyuan family. It seemed that the two emperors at that time did not die immediately after entering the land infested by ghosts and gods, but came to the world.
"The connection between 'legend' and 'real world'?"
Luo Ling tapped the table thoughtfully. It seemed that Jingwei also came to the world in this way.
But what exactly is the relationship...
Before Luo Ling and Yao Ji finished their conversation, the curtain suddenly opened and a dirty little head poked in.
"Sister Fairy, Sister Yaoji, the meal is ready, do you want to eat?"
Chapter 112 Who is the girl to you? (5k)
Chi Nu's arrival interrupted the conversation between Luo Ling and Yao Ji, but their conversation was almost coming to an end.
Yao Ji turned her head and glanced at Luo Ling. Seeing that Luo Ling had no intention of refusing, she nodded slightly and said,
"Well, we'll be there in a minute."
After getting the answer, Chi Nu slid back in a flash. Her action was so quick that Yao Ji, who was acting as a guardian, felt a little embarrassed. She said to Luo Ling awkwardly,
"This child... is still young, don't argue with her."
"How old is Chi Nu this year?" Luo Ling asked casually.
"I don't know the details," Yao Ji shook her head and said, "But when I picked her up, she already looked like this. It's been four or five years now, and she hasn't grown up at all."
At this point, she paused and continued,
"I can't reveal too much about Chi Nu. As the saying goes, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. Her situation... is quite complicated. Although you gave her a name and took some responsibility for her, if you distance yourself from her, this thread of responsibility will gradually weaken."
From what she said, it seemed that Yao Ji didn't want Luo Ling and Chi Nu to have too much connection with each other, and it was unclear whether it was for Chi Nu or Luo Ling.
It may also be because this "fairy" of unknown origin may accidentally change Chi Nu's predetermined fate.
"I see."
Luo Ling nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions.
"Let's go. Chi Nu's cooking skills are pretty good. After all, she has handled a lot of delicacies from land and sea, and has done a lot of research in this area." Yao Ji smiled slightly.
"Before she met me, she was considered the king of the area. Ordinary beasts and wild animals could not do anything to her. She was so elusive that she could even avoid my eyes and ears, not to mention the vicious beasts and evil beasts. I had to tie bells around her ankles to avoid being scared by her ghostly figure."
"...Is that so?"
Luo Ling was slightly stunned. She was quite impressed by the sound of bells when Chi Nu walked, but she didn't expect it to be for such a reason.
"Even so, her mysterious appearance is still hard to figure out." Yao Ji sighed and said regretfully, "Didn't we hear the bell sound when she came over just now?"
Luo Ling thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
"This is the Akane trying to scare us. If we take some deliberate steps, we can avoid the bell ringing."
Yao Ji's expression did look a bit troubled. It was always like this even with the bells. If there were no such bells, how terrifying would Chi Nu be.
In today's dangerous environment, there is no breath that can be detected, no sense that can give warning, and the existence around her can be touched silently. Yao Ji is afraid that her subconscious reaction will kill Chi Nu, so she can only give this string of bells to Chi Nu as a gift so that she will not scare herself all the time.
Luo Ling couldn't help but be interested in this strange girl, and his curiosity was aroused by Yao Ji's words.
However, Yao Ji had clearly told her not to continue asking questions about Chi Nu, so she could only let it go.
"Let's go, I'll try out Akame's craftsmanship."
Luo Ling put his thoughts aside and stood up.
"please."
Yao Ji came to greet her with a gentle, polite smile on her face.
... ... .
On the way, Luo Ling carefully recalled the conversation with Yao Ji and began to speculate on the current situation.
First of all, this should be the "legend" part of the Great Xia Imperial City. What really happened here will, in some way, have a certain degree of influence on the present world of the Great Xia Imperial City.
However, basically this impact will change greatly.
For example, the story of "Jingwei Filling the Sea" is almost completely different.
As for the specific time point... Luo Ling couldn't judge whether the "legend" she was in now was the period when the transformation protection of the Great Xia Imperial City had not been completely broken, or the time when the connection was cut off after it was broken.
There is also the goddess Ba.
The goddess Ba is dead.
This was something Luo Ling had not expected.
Moreover, this was not just said by Yao Ji. In fact, "the goddess Ba is dead" is almost common sense to her... or the people here.
However... Luo Ling also felt vaguely uneasy. She didn't know how she was related to the goddess Ba.
not to mention...
"The goddess Ba who appeared in my dream seemed to be in the form of a ghost..."
Just as Luo Ling was daydreaming, Yao Ji had already brought her to the vicinity of the tent filled with murderous intent.
Luo Ling looked up, and what caught his eyes were some old men with white hair and beards, their expressions still retaining a bit of bloodiness. Their sturdy bodies were covered with all kinds of shocking injuries, and even a lot of flesh and blood had grown together with the armor, and was squirming slightly.
Luo Ling's expression grew slightly solemn. She could see that these injuries all retained a hint of "doomsday" aura.
"The injuries of these veterans are all from the war between ghosts and gods. If ordinary people are injured by them, they will go crazy and die at the very least, or become unable to live or die at the worst. That's why they can only stay in places like this." Yao Ji whispered to Luo Ling beside her.
They are also some poor people.
There was a hint of pity in Luo Ling's eyes. In fact, their injuries were essentially the same as those of Xuanyuan Linglong of the Xuanyuan family. If Xuanyuan Linglong had not cut off the injured part, the result would probably be similar to that of these veterans.
After being cut off, although life is not very convenient, at least he can still stay in the Xuanyuan family, and he does not have to choose to walk into the "Zhuolu Wilderness of the End" to meet his own death after the situation has completely deteriorated.
Seeing Yao Ji coming, the veterans immediately stood up and knelt on one knee in front of Yao Ji, their voices as loud as a bell.
"This subordinate greets Her Royal Highness!"
"Get up. I've told you several times that I'm no longer a princess. Now I'm just a lady dressed in white." Yao Ji waved her hand, then found a place and sat down.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The veterans said this in unison, with no intention of changing their tune.
Luo Ling saw the whole scene. It seemed that Yao Ji was quite famous. Even the most ordinary soldiers respected her so much.
Most likely, she can stay here, not because of what Yao Ji said, but because of some work. Such a respected princess, she can't stay anywhere she wants, but she just wants to do something for these old soldiers.
Considering that Yao Ji was also a leading figure in the war between ghosts and gods in the past, it doesn't seem surprising.
Chi Nu didn't care at all about the etiquette of mutual courtesy between the old soldiers and Yao Ji. She was only concerned with taking the ceramic bowl to scoop up the broth and distributing it to the old soldiers. Luo Ling and Yao Ji also got a small bowl.
Then she took over the rest of the pot all by herself.
The veterans were very serious. They lined up in a row and even ate meticulously, as if they were moving in a mechanized manner. Except for their bodies that looked strange due to the worsening of their "Doomsday" injuries, each veteran looked almost like a replica.
