Buddhists used shaving off their hair as a sign of becoming a monk and a nun, which was why they called their hair strands of worry.
The old woman's voice was filled with joy as she spoke of the past.
But now, her hair had turned to frost.
Grass was once luxuriant, and the moon was now dusk.
"When I was gathering spirit strands, he descended from the sky. His smile was warm and he looked handsome. He said, 'Miss …' "
"Miss …"
The old woman mulled over these two words. She looked at her shriveled and wrinkled hands and suddenly fell silent.
All of her regrets, melancholy, unforgettable, and reluctance to part were contained in this silence.
In the end, she skipped over all of the stories. "After that, he lived here. He was wise and courageous, surpassing all men in the world. He found new Divine Dragonwood and helped us complete our last migration. It was also him who found a way to deal with Yan Xiao. "
"He discovered that Yan Xiao grew stronger by absorbing the power of hatred. Heads were its food, and resentment was its food. It was born in the Forest Ocean Origin World and is the source of hatred in this world. No one who was born in this world can truly kill it. "
When he heard this, Jiang Wang realized a problem. "When did this' he 'you speak of appear in the Forest Ocean Origin World?"
The old priestess looked at him deeply. "You are as astute as he is."
"Indeed, he appeared over five hundred years ago. The Dragon God didn't slumber for as long as a thousand years. Over five hundred years ago, an emissary of the Dragon God descended. However, that was when the Forest Ocean Origin World was at its most chaotic, and he was the only one who managed to find the Sacred Race alive. "
"It was just that he hadn't been verified by the Tree Altar, so the Dragon God didn't appear. Because of this, this matter could be hidden. Now, no one other than me knows that an emissary of the Dragon God descended over five hundred years ago. "
Why did an emissary of the Dragon God descend over five hundred years ago have to be hidden?
What was the Forest Ocean Origin World like five hundred years ago when it was at its most chaotic? What was the reason for this?
The answer to the first question was very easy to deduce. The relationship between that Descender and the old priestess was probably incompatible with the Forest Ocean Sacred Race. Even more than five hundred years ago, was the relationship between the Dragon God's Emissary and the Forest Ocean Sacred Clan definitely a cooperative relationship?
As for the latter question, Jiang Wang wasn't sure if he should ask. Questions about the Dark Ages might not be answered even if he asked.
After much deliberation, Jiang Wang simply asked, "Doesn't he want to leave?"
The corners of the old woman's mouth curled up again. "He said that I was unique and shouldn't share a name with others. He gave me a name, 'Xiao Fan'."
The old woman didn't seem to answer the question.
But the answer was in this.
To that descender, she was his worry and worry.
So, of course, he didn't want to leave.
For some reason, Jiang Wang suddenly thought that it was no wonder Qing Qishu was always thinking about "getting a girlfriend" …
After an incalculable amount of time had passed, when one's hair had turned white, there would be a person, an experience that would make one laugh out loud. What a beautiful thing it was.
No wonder the old priest had a certain understanding of the Modern World and was very clear about the goal of the Dragon God's Emissary. With such a senior Dragon God's Emissary being in contact with her day and night, what else could she not know?
For the Dragon God's Emissary, that senior was really a naked "traitor", but Jiang Wang couldn't bring out any resentment.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Wang asked another question. "When the Swallow Owl cries, it will eat a hundred heads. I see that there aren't many Sacred Clan warriors who participate in the 'Mutual Hunt'. "
The priest said, "The Mutual Hunt is a kind of honor. Only the most outstanding Sacred Clan warriors can participate. And when the Swallow Owl cries, it eats a hundred heads, not all of them are human heads. This is also the reason why the Sacred Clan warriors often need to hunt. It's to hoard the heads of wild beasts. "
Jiang Wang nodded, expressing his understanding.
The priest continued, "He tried to kill the Swallow Owl by himself, but the Swallow Owl had already grown for so many years that he was no match for it."
"But after fighting with it many times, he also had a certain understanding of the Swallow Owl. He discovered that the Swallow Owl was born from the human race. Human heads are its staple food, and the resentment of humans is also the source of its power. "
Jiang Wang was really impressed. "That senior did a lot."
"As I said, he is a great man that is second to none in the world." The old woman accepted this admiration and continued, "After understanding the source of the Swallow Owl's resources, he thought of a way to deal with it."
"The people who offer the heads can't have resentment in their hearts. Or at least the resentment can't be too strong. "
"So according to his suggestion, I came forward to lead the establishment of the 'Mutual Hunt' tradition. Let the warriors in the clan respect and recognize this tradition, and treat it as an honor, not abandoning it. Let the warriors fiercely and not die full of resentment. In this way, the Swallow Owl's power not only won't increase, but it will also slowly weaken because of the lack of human resentment. It has been weakened until now, and I finally saw the opportunity to eliminate it. "
The Forest Ocean Sacred Clan's' Mutual Hunt 'tradition was completed under the guidance of someone!
That descender, in order to eliminate the Swallow Owl, set up a scheme that lasted for more than five hundred years. It couldn't be said that it was not far away, and the effort was not small.
"What if the Swallow Owl didn't wait for you to offer the heads, but directly hunted and swallowed the heads himself? Then wouldn't the meaning of the Mutual Hunt not exist? "Jiang Wang asked again.
"Offering the heads is a kind of ceremony, just like how the heads of the owls were hung on a wooden pole in the earliest days. It needs to draw power from this kind of ceremony. That's why it creates terror. "
"In other words, directly killing people and then swallowing the heads can't give it power."
That's why the Swallow Owl had to go through so much trouble to force people to offer their heads to it.
Jiang Wang roughly understood and asked again, "Why didn't you tell us this at the beginning?"
The old woman responded directly, "I don't know if you can be trusted. This opportunity is too important. We have waited for more than five hundred years, and I don't want to waste it. "
"Then why do you think I can be trusted now?"
"That messenger Su Qi, after recognizing you, treated you as a person who can be trusted. It shows that you have a good reputation in your place. "The old priest said," When you went to hunt the snake, I was actually observing you. In times of danger, you were willing to save your companions. In times of trouble, you were willing to take on heavy responsibilities … That's why I feel that you are someone who can be trusted, just like him. "
The "him" that the priest mentioned was naturally that senior's descender.
"I don't dare compare myself to the person in your heart." Jiang Wang hesitated for a moment before asking, "I wonder if he's …"
"You can't compare to him. However, there are a lot of things that are very similar, "the old woman said.
It seemed that in her opinion, having a lot of things similar to that person was a great compliment.
She slowly said, "He's been gone for a long time."
"That senior didn't receive the Dragon God's baptism?" Jiang Wang asked.
After becoming a member of the Forest Ocean Sacred Clan, his lifespan should have increased. Based on how that senior was able to fight against the unweakened Swallow Owl, his strength should have far surpassed the current Jiang Wang.
The priest had said that if Jiang Wang received the Dragon God's baptism, his lifespan would increase to a thousand years.
If that senior chose to receive the Dragon God's baptism, his lifespan should be even longer. Since he didn't plan on leaving the Forest Ocean Origin Realm, there was no reason for him to refuse.
The old woman was silent for a moment before saying, "He has his own beliefs."
This was an unexpected answer.
