Chapter 260 The historical truth behind the collapse of the Talon Dynasty
So, is this mushroom head a light chaser?
Ji Xun became more and more confused the more he asked.
From the facts, this guy should be the leader of the Thirteen Kamen Riders.
But he just said, even if it is, it is not?
What's the meaning?
Ji Xun thought about the situation when they went to the extra-dimensional space in "The Battle of Ironforge" together, and guessed in his heart: Maybe this statement has something to do with his ability?
Jia Yu also knew that his words were a bit confusing and smiled slightly.
But he didn’t mean to explain more, and wrote lightly: "This is not too important. You will know it soon."
"."
Ji Xun didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.
After sending away the silly girl, he now becomes more bearish on many things.
He turned to ask: "So why are you here?"
Ji Xun didn't think it was a coincidence.
As the leader of the Thirteen Knights, his identity has been exposed now. If he dares to show his face openly, something big will happen.
Not to mention such a sensitive node.
As soon as the words came out, Ji Xun thought that the mushroom head was going to say something vague again. Unexpectedly, this guy stated several purposes in a concise and concise manner: "Waiting for you. Watch a show. Then kill. A few people. Finally, let’s have a game of cards.”
It’s a lot of information.
Ji Xun’s eyes darted around as he listened.
The tone of this sentence is understatement, but every word spoken seems like a storm brewing.
Before he could figure out what he meant, Jia Yu asked directly: "By the way, do you have the things the captain gave you with you?"
Hearing this, Ji Xun did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "Do you know what that is?"
He felt that he needed to remind the other party of what he knew.
Ji Xun didn’t know what a jar was before.
Now that I have traveled through time and space a hundred years ago, I understand.
Just because he knew it, he understood the seriousness of the matter more clearly.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this clay pot is a "nuclear bomb".
Once leaked, it may even destroy the entire card master civilization.
It is different from a hundred years ago, when the ancestors of the Bai family left a king snake that lived for thousands of years to guard the jar.
The "Scarlet Corruption" is easy to deal with if it doesn't work out.
And now this jar has been in the hands of the top officials of Bureau X for who knows how many years, and it has been polluted for who knows how many years. It is very likely that even the Light Chasers who took office were involved in this problem.
So, mushroom head, are you okay?
Jia Yu understood his eyes and said calmly: "I know."
At the same time, he added, "So, this card game is a gamble on life. .”
?
As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun felt that the hairs on his back were exploding.
How big are you prepared to do to make the leader of the Thirteen Knights say "bet your life"?
While saying that, Jia Yu seemed to have thought of something, and asked a meaningful question: "Let me ask you a question."
Ji Xun: "???"
Jia Yu said: "If you have to affect the lives of many innocent people, you can save more, or even all of them. What would you choose?"
Ji Xun thought about it, he couldn't answer this question, so he only said: "From a human perspective, no matter what choice you make, it is wrong. There is no absolutely just answer to this question."
"Yes. But for some crimes, there are always people. You have to bear it. Some choices must be made by someone. The torch of the pioneer will always waver in the wind."
Jia Yu's tone remained calm, and he said calmly: "I bet on myself in this game. His life was also on the line for the fate of the card master’s civilization.”
“.”
Hearing these words, Ji Xun immediately fell into deep thought.
I used to think that the words of these people standing in high places were all based on guesswork, and they were hiding their unhappiness.
For the first time, I felt that this guy spoke too clearly, and then I realized that there are some words that ordinary people cannot hear.
Not everyone can bear the burden of civilization.
Jia Yu did not continue the heavy topic and asked: "Are you interested in knowing some chronological history about the 'Great Cataclysm'?"
"Yes!"
Of course Ji Xun is interested.
How did the Talon dynasty fall three thousand years ago? What was the "catastrophe" mentioned in historical documents? Why did civilization end its era?
It can be said that this is a big mystery that has troubled countless historians.
Since this guy mentioned it, it can be heard.
Moreover, Ji Xun now also knows some fragmentary information. He knows that the reason why that period of history cannot be mentioned is most likely because of certain existing taboos, and any mention of it will be polluted.
And I happen to be the one who will not be contaminated.
Jia Yu said, looking at Ji Xun, his surging desire to share was already over the top, and said in a complaining tone: "You know, it's really frustrating to keep these secrets alone and not be able to share them with others. I'm so panicked."
As he spoke, he had a mysterious expression on his face like a bard starting to tell a story, and said directly: "This matter starts with a few 'outer gods'."< br>
Ji Xun heard this term for the first time, "Outer God?"
Jia Yu explained: "Yes. A collective name for the old gods that are not within the fifty-two sequence. In short The historical documents recorded on the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Stele] are called this.”
"."
Ji Xun also suddenly realized that there was such a saying.
The old gods he has come into contact with so far include Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasure" believed in by the Silver Moon Sect, and the "Lord of War and Destruction" known from other dimensions. Acres.
One of these two is suspected of being [Queen of Clubs-Moonlight Queen], and the other is a god who appeared after the divinity of the demon source card pointed to by the sequence of [J of Spades-God of War] was out of control.
In general, they are all gods that have existed in the card master civilization.
The outer gods are outside of this.
Where did it come from?
Jia Yu obviously didn’t know either, and continued: “Those foreign gods, well, I don’t know where they came from, they should be miracles left over from an earlier era. Anyway, one of them is a jar The 'Scarlet Corruption' there. Their appearance brought about a terrifying 'plague' that quickly swept through the entire Talon Empire. The process is unknown, but the result was that the powerful empire eventually collapsed."
When Ji Xun heard this, his eyes were secretly shocked.
The Talon Empire, which had top card masters, collapsed due to a plague. It was really terrifying.
Is it not easy to destroy the current Federation?
And how many such foreign gods are there?
Jia Yu said: "Although King Augustus of the Talon Dynasty has mobilized the whole country to seal some of these horrific entities, in the end he was unable to recover. Knowing that it was irreversible, that king gave civilization a Several fire seeds were left behind, and one of them came to the "Eastern Wasteland", which is now the Eastern Continent, and established a "Fire Fire City", completely cutting off the connection with the Middle-earth continent." >
“.”
Ji Xun also suddenly realized that this was how the Tarun dynasty was destroyed three thousand years ago.
However, is the Card Master Federation in the Eastern Continent just one of them?
In other words, there may be other card master civilizations in other places?
Before he could think about it, Jia Yu continued: "Later, another catastrophe occurred in Xinhuo City. Then it became the ruins of the Sinless City that we see now. And the card master The era of civilization also started from Xinhuo City. "
There is nothing wrong with moving to the "Eastern Wasteland" and using the abyss cracks to isolate the spread of the plague.
Ji Xun also understands.
But when he heard about the destruction of New Fire City, he suddenly thought of the murals on the bottom floor of Shangbang Prison.
The general content of the mural is: The ancestor of Nanjing, the high priest of Oran, killed the Weeping Angel.
But why?
Jia Yu obviously knew more and told the unknown secret: "In fact, three thousand years ago, even if there was no plague, the Talon Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. The last few Augusts The king's stupidity and cruelty had already aroused public dissatisfaction, and the building was about to collapse. Later, in order to stabilize the royal power, King Augustus actually thought of using faith to control the people. That is, after the remaining Silver Moon Sect came to Xinhuo City, a certain The high priest with prophetic vision saw the dangers of faith. Once there were restrictions on the king's power, the Silver Moon Sect could still control it, but after the king's power weakened, the joyful faith would contaminate everyone and the Card Master's civilization would be destroyed. ."
After taking a breath, he continued: "In the end, she chose to completely eliminate this hidden danger at the cost of burying six million people in Xinhuo City, and completely wiped out the remnants of the old god. The division civilization has been surviving for three thousand years until now.”
"."
When Ji Xun heard this, he already knew what the mural was about.
Jia Yu finally said: "In order to completely solve the hidden dangers of faith, the high priest also burned all the classics brought from the Old World. This is also the reason why civilization has been discontinued. So before the discovery of Sinless City, almost All classics and extraordinary knowledge were recorded by predecessors, and there are too many missing."
He said, with regret in his eyes, and continued: "And those who moved to Xinhuo City at that time All the super-level card masters were killed and wounded in the last battle. Most of the remaining members of the royal family of Augustus established the Oran Dynasty in the Eastern Wasteland, and in order to stabilize their rule, they restricted the super-level card masters. The spread of extraordinary knowledge is one of the most important reasons why no one except the Oran royal family knows the secrets above the sixth level. Later, even if they were worshiped by the royal family, Donghuang did not have the conditions to advance to the seventh level. It gradually became a legend. Of course, although the Eastern Wasteland is barren, it is also safe, and there is no need for the existence of super-level card masters. Therefore, as time goes by, even in the Oran royal family, the super-level inheritance has been broken. Eight."
"That's it."
When Ji Xun heard these ancient secrets, he connected all the fragmented information in his mind.
I suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in my mind.
Although we still know very little about the 3,000-year-old Talon Dynasty, we at least know what the current situation of the Card Master civilization is.
Furthermore, Ji Xun also guessed that since Jia Yu chose to tell this period of history, he must have deep meaning.
The problem in the Federation now is that both the Silver Moon Sect and the Scarlet Corruption have appeared, and there is already a certain climate.
Belief pollution is spreading rapidly.
It seems that a steel knife is needed to scrape the bones and cure the poison.
Ji Xun also understood why Jia Yu asked those questions before.
This is really a gamble on the fate of civilization.
At this point, the stage play on the first floor has just come to an end.
Jia Yu shrugged and said: "Of course, this is just history floating on the visible level. The real methods and vision of those powerful predecessors in ancient times are not what we can imagine with our current knowledge. For example, the Xinhuo City left behind There are still too many secrets in the ruins."
"."
Ji Xun quietly became a listener.
In this high-end game, if you can't be a chess player, just recognize that you are a charging chess piece.
He just asked: "So, you want that jar now?"
Jia Yu nodded: "Yeah."
Ji Xun took out the can directly. The thing was cracked, and it was just a bomb that lit the fuse.
I didn’t think anything of it before, but after hearing that the mushroom head said that he was “betting his life”, it was better to get rid of this thing.
Jia Yu took the jar and glanced at the other two bags on his waist with a strange expression.
Ji Xun didn't want to hide the fact that he still had two bombs.
Although this thing is a treasure, there is no point in hiding it. He simply can't handle it right now.
One of them is so troublesome, if the two of them are also torn apart.
He was really torn apart too.
It was rare to meet someone who knew some truth about ancient history. Ji Xun asked directly: "So, what is the situation with this jar? How many are there?"
Jia Yu was also troubled by the smiling face of the jar. He spread his hands and said, "I don't know either. It is said that these mantra pottery jars are relics left over from the previous era. They are things that are truly related to higher gods. They are even involved. The origin of Kashi civilization, the truth about some worlds, and of course many strange catastrophic creatures are like this."
Ji Xun glanced at him and asked with an expression: So, how to deal with it?
Jia Yu responded with a helpless look and said: "Don't look at me with that look. There are too many secrets in this world, and I don't know everything. But in ancient times before the cataclysm, The relics involve special rules of fate. Now that you have it, take it first. No one else can hold it."
He really couldn't think of anything other than [JOKER]. People can hold it.
As he said that, the mushroom head seemed to notice Ji Xun's concerns, and added: "Besides, this jar is not that easy to break."
"."
Ji Xun felt that this was the only way.
Fortunately, it can at least be used as a "spirit gathering jar".
But when the two of them were communicating, something happened.
The cloth bag in Jia Yu's hand suddenly lit up with a strange red light.
The [God Thief Ring] on Ji Xun's finger reacted immediately, and he shouted in his heart: "Not good!"
But it was already too late.
The cloth bag, which was not abnormal at all in his hand, immediately burned when it fell into Jia Yu's hand.
Then the pottery pot with gold patterns to repair the cracks fell into his hands, and an evil blood energy that made people dizzy just looking at it merged into his pores like lightning without any reaction. .
Jia Yu watched as a layer of green fluorescence appeared in his hand, as if to prevent the contamination from the jar from spreading.
But his own arms had turned dark blue like a vampire.
Things happened so fast that Ji Xun had no time to stop him and reminded him: "Are you contaminated?"
Jia Yu's eyes were slightly solemn and he nodded: "Yes."
But his tone was still without much surprise, and he added: "He came here for me. Those guys won't dare to show their heads until the "Light Chaser" dies. ”
“.”
Hearing this, Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I know that this mushroom head is definitely prepared, after all, the blood plague is no joke.
But he didn’t ask much.
Xie Guozhong has been in Innocence City for a long time before.
Jia Yu has not shown up as the "Light Chaser" for a long time. He has only come now, so some preparations must have been made.
The routines of high-end games are already very familiar. If the other party doesn't tell you this kind of thing, it's best not to ask.
Once the card is revealed, the whole game may be lost.
Jia Yu forcibly suppressed the blood energy on the clay pot, glanced at Ji Xun, and said: "At present, it seems that the cards in the hands of both sides in this card game are about the same. In terms of skills, It’s hard to tell the outcome. In addition to betting on some luck, the outcome may need to be determined by some factors other than the game. I’m not sure what those are.”
Look. Come over.
Ji Xun knew that he was already in the game.
In this game, many people have quietly entered the game, but they just don't know it.
And my [JOKER] is a universal card that is not restricted by the game, and it seems to be somewhat useful.
But the Light Chaser doesn’t know, how does he know how to play?
The leader of the Song family is about to pass away.
Not only are there many outsiders coming to Innocence City.
In a secret room in Hong Tower, the leaders of the Song family also gathered together.
But the atmosphere was not harmonious and there were endless arguments.
When Mr. Jiu entered the room with a file, the atmosphere in the room became even more tense.
A fierce quarrel also broke out.
“I think that since we can’t agree, we should run the federal railway and the Gordo Mine separately. After all, I have been operating it for so long, and I have no credit but also hard work, and I plan to continue to share it with the family. There are also bank seats and newspapers”
"Second brother, have you thought clearly? Everything you call 'business' is provided by the family. To put it bluntly, another dog can do better than you in your position. Do you think you have paid for the family? What? What qualifications do you have to say this? "
"Yes, second brother, don't think that we don't know that you and the Bai family have secretly colluded and have taken 30% of the shares of the Federal Railway as a promise? I've been waiting for my grandmother to die so that I can divide the family property!"
"I won't say anything else. Do you think it's appropriate to collude with outsiders to deal with your own family?"
"That's enough! Boss, Third, Fifth, and Sixth, are you embarrassed to talk to me? How are your private methods any better than mine? If I don't do something, I'm afraid if I don't do something, I'll wait for you guys to do it. Not even a bone is left!"
"Shut up! Mr. Jiu is still here! No matter how you argue, I will only say one thing about the Federal Bank seat. The person who accepts the words formulated by grandma is not qualified!”
"Since we can't reach an agreement, let's stop talking. Let's each take care of our own affairs and act according to our own abilities."
"Second brother, do you not want to follow your grandmother's will?"
"If you insist on saying that, I can't help it. However, if anyone wants to be tough, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
"."
Jia Yu holds the jar Gone.
Ji Xun stood there and continued to watch the stage play for a while, thinking about the previous words in his mind, and suddenly smiled: "Hey, it turns out that this period of history is so interesting."
Jia Yu's narration not only solved the puzzle.
It also opened a door, allowing Ji Xun to see the infinite possibilities of super levels.
In the past, I only thought that super level was a legend, until I met Old Man Gong, and now.
This mysterious field has finally been unveiled.
Although I still don’t know what super level means, I can be sure that it is very strong.
The kind of realm where a "personality" is promoted to a "demigod" sees the world differently.
Ji Xun feels that he cannot pry into the mystery of time now, but if he can enter the super level, his hope seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
For the first time, he felt that there was an obsession that made him reach a higher transcendent realm.
He wanted to understand the mystery of time and go and have a look in the long river of time.
The play is over, intermission.
Ji Xun also walked away.
I don’t know why, but he wanted to go behind the stage and take a look.
This "Royal Song and Dance Ensemble" seemed to be just an art performance group before, but now it has a different kind of nostalgia for Ji Xun.
As he spoke, Ji Xun walked backstage and saw a dejected fat man walking out of the dressing room.
It was none other than Song Can, Big Iwan’s boss.
When the two met, Song Can looked at Ji Xun who had returned to his original appearance and said in surprise: "Brother Ji Xun?"
Because Dong Qi was the middleman, they were also familiar with each other.
Ji Xun now looked at the people in the Song family with a little more kindness, and greeted him in the same way: "Master Song. Long time no see."
He looked at the fat man's slumped expression, Thinking again that this guy had just come out of the dressing room, he guessed that he might be in a bad relationship and asked casually: "What's wrong?"
The fat man looked at Ji Xun and sighed coquettishly: "Hey, brother Ji Xun, you may not understand, love can really make people haggard."
A strange color flashed across Ji Xun's eyes, and his mouth He said: "Rejected?"
The fat man didn't feel embarrassed at all, shrugged and said: "Miss Monica is the most beautiful and kind-hearted girl I have ever met in my life~ Hey. Why can't she feel it?" Where is my passionate love?"
As he said this, the guy encouraged himself: "Well! I will never give up!"
Ji Xun looked at him like this. Zi, I thought it was a bit of a licking before, but now I didn’t find it ridiculous. Instead, I encouraged: “Yeah. I think you can do it too.”
This fat man was really moved.
After meeting Miss Yu, the clown can ridicule everything in the world, except love.
But Ji Xun was also a little surprised. Monica, the dance troupe’s chief dancer, actually rejected the fat man many times?
You know, even if Song Can is not very old now, he is already a well-known rich man in the Federation.
Money aside, this fat man is not bad in character, and with his sincerity, he can at least become a friend.
What's more, Ji Xun also knew from the letters left by Song Yu that this fat man would be the next generation leader of the Song family.
What's going on with Monica?
Song Can himself was puzzled.
At this moment, he is just a young man addicted to love, with no other ideas at all.
He just felt very depressed. He happened to meet an acquaintance and suggested: "Let's go, brother Ji Xun, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How about a drink?"
Ji Xun was also about to drink, so he responded: "Okay!"
The two walked out side by side, wanting to go to the bar on the third floor to drink.
However, as soon as we walked into the corridor, something unexpected happened.
There was a loud "boom".
A corpse fell from the sky.
It fell in the lobby on the first floor, and blood was everywhere.
The crowd was startled.
Song Can, who was on the side, recognized the corpse, but his eyes widened in fright, and he blurted out: "Second uncle?"
The corpse was none other than the Song family's black gold One of the most powerful people in charge of the Chamber of Commerce at present, the second master of the Song family, Song Yuanhai!
This man, who is considered to have great hands and eyes in the entire federation, was actually thrown down from the building in the Hong Tower owned by the Song family?
Seeing this body, Ji Xun knew that the internal fighting in the Song family had begun.
Think again about Jia Yu’s appearance before.
Ji Xun always felt that a series of fuses were lit because of the death of the head of the Song family.
The drama has begun.
