Not long after, Xu Shenxing and the others came to a place suspected to be the enemy's base camp — a palace built on the mountainside.
However, the palace seemed to have just been hit by the flames of war. It looked a little dilapidated, with traces of damage that had not yet been repaired. Even on the mountain path leading to the palace and in the corners of the palace, there were some corpses that had not been cleaned up.
Among them were the big men who used axes, as well as the petite Yue Rabbits.
In fact, on the way here, Xu Shenxing and the others had already encountered several small battlefields. The two sides of the battle were the burly men who were called Sons of Wu Gang by the Yue Rabbits, and the girls with rabbit ears.
Judging from the situation of those battlefields, the Yue Rabbits had the advantage in terms of individual combat effectiveness, but the Sons of Wu Gang had the advantage in numbers, and their unreasonable physical strength could also put the Yue Rabbits into a difficult battle. In almost every battlefield, the Yue Rabbits could barely maintain the level of immediate collapse.
When he first encountered such a battle, Xu Shenxing helped the Yue Rabbits. However, as soon as the Sons of Wu Gang died, the Yue Rabbits attacked Xu Shenxing and the others without any explanation. This made Xu Shenxing very unhappy. After planting all the Yue Rabbits into the ground, leaving only their heads exposed, he continued to walk on the mountain path with Qin Xingyan and the others. Even if he encountered such a battle again, he was too lazy to intervene — unless the two groups of people in the battle provoked him first...
After entering the dilapidated palace, the first thing that Xu Shenxing and the others saw was a man sitting on a huge imperial throne.
The man looked very old. His messy white beard reached his waist, and his hair was snow-white. There was no trace of him taking care of himself.
His limbs looked shriveled and skinny. He was literally skin and bones.
What was more surprising was that his hands and feet were nailed to the imperial throne by huge iron nails. He could not move at all. He looked very pitiful.
"Who are you?" Xu Shenxing did not let the man go just because he looked like Stephen Hawking. In his fighting career, there were several times when he let his guard down because of the weak appearance of his opponents. As a result, he was taught a lesson by his opponents.
Fortunately, at that time, Xu Shenxing had already become thick-skinned, so the man did not beat Xu Shenxing. Instead, Xu Shenxing returned the favor.
"You are from the outside, right? As for me, I have many names. Some of them are so old that I can't remember them clearly," the old man said. His voice was very hoarse, and his tone was quite slow. Just by listening to him, one could feel a strong sense of history. "But I only have one favorite name. You can also call me by that name... I am Wu Gang."
As natives of the Celestial Empire, Xu Shenxing and Qin Xingyan were surprised. When they fought with the gods in Fusang mythology, they did not feel it because of their different cultural circles. But in the Celestial Empire, Xu Shenxing was a little surprised when he met a famous guy in ancient mythology. After all, he had heard those famous names since childhood.
Of course, he was just surprised.
Even if Ying learned about the legend of the old man through Google or Baidu, she would not show any different expression. After all, although the history of the Celestial Empire was long on the earth, the time when this girl got lost was about half of the time in the Celestial Empire. Plus, because of work, nine out of ten times she took in a UK, she only had time to collect the corpse of a civilization. So naturally, she would not have too much feelings about the gods in this world.
It was almost the same as the astronauts in the interstellar era who were used to seeing planets explode on the spot would hardly have any respect for a patrol officer in a residential area.
"Those burly men... in the words of the rabbits, they are the sons of Wu Gang. What do they have to do with you?"
Xu Shenxing sorted out his thoughts and asked the old man.
It was not that he suddenly became civilized and did not want to use the usual method of asking (physics) to get information. It was just that the old man looked so weak that Xu Shenxing had some scruples. He was afraid that the old man would die if he stretched out his finger...
"They are similar to my clones." The man coughed, then answered honestly, "The laurel is something I planted, and only I can take care of it. No one else can … But even though I've eaten the peach of immortality, I can't maintain my youth forever. What's more, the person I adore has already passed away. To be honest, I don't want to continue living. But those in the Moon God's Palace can't leave the laurel. It is the foundation of this small world, the source of everything. So, they came up with a way to create those people with the laurel and my blood... The first group of people all recognized me as their father. I taught them carefully, so they are called the sons of Wu Gang by the Moon Rabbit. "
"According to the chromosome information, those burly men should be his clones."
Ying also added after investigating the information about Wu Gang.
Xu Shenxing was also very happy. After dawdling for so long, he finally found someone who knew the situation and was willing to talk to them.
"Then how did you become like this?" Unlike Xu Shenxing and Ying, as a member of the Celestial Empire's cultivation system, Qin Xingyan had more complicated feelings about this mythical figure. She hesitated for a moment and could not help but ask.
"As I grew older, I originally planned to end my own life like the person I admired. However, just as I was about to do so, I was knocked unconscious by an unknown attack. When I woke up, my body was already imprisoned in this seat."
This topic was undoubtedly Wu Gang's sore spot. His voice trembled, "At first, I thought it was those treacherous children who attacked me. Because in the experiment, only my blood could create them stably, and using their blood would have a high possibility of tissue collapse, turning the newly created individuals into meatballs... But soon, I found that the truth was not that simple."
"Could it be the Moon God's Palace that you said secretly did this?"
Xu Shenxing tried to guess based on the information he knew.
"No, the current ruler of the Moon God's Palace is a kind person. She would not do such a thing... In fact, I found that there was an unknown consciousness lurking in the minds of the sons of Wu Gang and weaving a huge net. That consciousness was crazy and powerful, chaotic and evil. "As if recalling the horror of that consciousness, Wu Gang shivered," It easily destroyed the minds of the newborn sons of Wu Gang, subtly changed the leaders I taught, and finally took control of the entire population of Wu Gang's sons... By the time I found out about this, it was already too late to stop it. "
