Lin Mengya noticed that Aunt Fang's expression had become extremely grave. She guessed that the "thirteen passes" that Uncle Huo mentioned were not a good place.
"Yeah, I heard that something happened in the thirteenth pass when I left this time. You have to know that there are quite a number of traitors locked up there. Furthermore, most of them have lost many lives. After being locked up in the thirteenth pass for so many years, I'm afraid that they are filled with hatred towards the other ancient families."
Uncle Huo's words alerted everyone.
But Lin Mengya knew nothing about the thirteen passes.
She quietly poked Huo Xiao, who also had a grave expression, and asked in a low voice, "You know about it too?"
Huo Xiao's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "When Bo Ren and the foreigners were expelled, there were people who resisted. But the leaders were captured and imprisoned at the thirteen passes. Until now, we don't know if they are still alive or dead."
There was a hint of sadness in his voice.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but take this seriously. She looked at Uncle Huo and Aunt Fang.
"What exactly is this place called the thirteen passes?"
The couple looked at each other, then looked at her with some hesitation.
This made Lin Mengya feel strange, and she became even more curious.
But she understood Uncle Huo and Aunt Fang. "If it's inconvenient, forget it. Actually, I …"
"I don't really want to know …" Before she could finish, Auntie Fang interrupted her and shook her head with a bitter smile.
"It's not like that. We find it difficult to tell you because the thirteen passes are related to the Gong family."
"What?" Lin Mengya was confused.
Uncle Huo also said, "The thirteen passes are called that because it is a valley that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But it was a forbidden area in the past, and the ancestors of the Gong family were responsible for guarding the thirteen passes. "
This was the first time Lin Mengya heard about the story of the Gong family before they were expelled from the ancient families.
When the Gong family was still around, the Upper and Lower Flux Clans were not as divided as they were today, and there was a clear hierarchy.
The reason for this name was that in the center of the ancient families, there was a lake shaped like a crescent moon.
The clans living on the east bank of the lake were called the Upper Flux Clan, while those living on the west bank were called the Lower Flux Clan.
All of the aristocratic families lived in harmony with each other. Although there were occasional conflicts, big and small, they were united as one.
Until one day, the Crescent Moon Lake suddenly dried up.
At first, people thought it was because of the arrival of the dry season, but after three years, the Crescent Moon Lake had disappeared without a trace. The riverbed had dried up everywhere, and the creatures in the lake had all died from the heat.
People started to panic.
At this time, there was a rumor that the Crescent Moon Lake was a treasure bestowed by the heavens to the ancient race. Now that the treasure had disappeared, it must have been because someone had offended the immortals in the heavens.
As the rumors became more and more intense, the disputes within the aboriginals also became more and more intense. Everyone could only maintain harmony on the surface, but behind the scenes, they had already begun to fight against each other.
As someone really dug out some treasures from the mud protecting the heart of the Crescent Moon Lake, the dispute was dyed with the stench of blood.
"Some people said that the treasure was given by the immortals," Huo said with a frown Hus Mengya. said.
Uncle Huo's brows were tightly furrowed, and he sounded very resistant to the so-called "treasure".
"Could it be …" Uncle Huo frowned.
"Later, someone discovered that the treasure seemed to have the effect of reviving the dead. Therefore, it became the most precious treasure of the aboriginals. They even built a shrine for it."
Lin Mengya …
She knew that anything that could enter her teacher's eyes couldn't be ordinary.
But could she really borrow such an important thing?
For a moment, Lin Mengya was so worried that she gritted her teeth.
She thought, Son, your mother is going to risk my life for you!
"What else? What does this matter have to do with our Gong family leaving? "Lin Mengya couldn't help but ask.
Uncle Huo gave her a serious look and continued, "Because at that time, the ancient races regarded the Crescent Moon Lake as a sacred lake, and the clans of the upper and lower flux clans that were closest to the Crescent Moon Clan were chosen to protect the lake."
"One of them was the current head clan of the aboriginals, the Yue Zhengjia. The other was the Gong family.
"However, after the accident, the Yue Zhengjia reacted quickly. Even the treasure found in the mud of the Crescent Moon Lake was discovered by the Yue Zhengjia. As for the Gong family, they stubbornly believed that the Crescent Moon Lake suddenly dried up because of human factors. "
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "It seems that the Yue Zhengjia has some tricks up their sleeves."
Now, it was easy to judge.
As an aristocratic family that protected the lake, the Yue Zhengjia not only quickly adjusted after the disappearance of the Crescent Moon Lake, but also found a new treasure of the aboriginals to exchange for it. This was a bit abnormal.
As a person without much faith, she knew how deeply rooted and unshakable faith was in the hearts of believers.
Moreover, the Crescent Moon Lake suddenly dried up.
Ordinary people would feel panicked and helpless. They would also fantasize that the sacred lake they believed in would return tomorrow.
On the other hand, the Yue Zhengjia.
They accepted it very quickly, as if they had predicted it in advance.
Thinking of this, Lin Mengya didn't have a good impression of the Yue Zhengjia.
Although she didn't care about the history of the Gong family in the aboriginals, she wouldn't allow the prestige of the Gong family to be tarnished by despicable people!
Uncle Huo shook his head and sighed. "We don't know what the truth is now. But after the disappearance of the sacred lake, the Gong family gradually weakened because they failed to protect the sacred lake. On the contrary, the Yue Zhengjia skyrocketed and became the head of the upper flux clans.
"After that, the Gong family was sent to guard the valley where the thirteenth pass was located.
"But for some unknown reason, the number of Gong family members decreased year by year. Later, for three whole years, not a single child was born.
"After that, the Yue Zhengjia suddenly used the excuse that the Gong family lacked manpower to guard the thirteenth pass and forced the Gong family to move to the border.
"Many years after that, the Yue Zhengjia proposed to expel the Gong family from the aboriginals. But before that, the majority of the Gong family members had already settled outside. The so-called abandonment of the aboriginals was just a small portion of the people left in the aboriginals. "
In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that Uncle Huo was a capable member of the Elders Guild, he wouldn't have known about these things so clearly.
Ever since the Gong family was abandoned by the aboriginals, the Yue Zhengjia deliberately erased the Gong family's history in the aboriginals. Only a few people knew the complete history of the Gong family.
Even those who knew about it kept their mouths shut. Their attitude towards the Gong family was either evasive or abnormally resentful.
In short, the history of the Gong family was like a mountain covered by a dense fog.
Everyone knew where it was, but no one knew its true face.
And all of this was deliberately created by the Yue Zhengjia.
"It seems that this Yue Zhengjia must have had a deep grudge with our family. Otherwise, why would he try to drive our Gong family out without any leeway?"
Although she wasn't the Gong family's ancestor, she knew how much hardship the Gong family's ancestor had to go through when he left his hometown and brought his people out to explore the world.
She had always thought that the Gong family's ancestor must have had his own difficulties when he was secretly oppressed by the people from the Divine Temple.
Now that she thought about it, it must have something to do with the aboriginals.
She thought of something and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Huo, do you know about the Immortal City?"
Uncle Huo looked confused. "What Immortal City? I only know that the people in the clan say that after people die, their gods will guide their souls to the Immortal City. "
Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Great-grandfather had told her that the Gong family's origin was very mysterious, and for some reason, when the Gong family was in dire straits, great-grandfather had sensed that many unfamiliar forces were secretly spying on the Gong family.
That was why he had chosen to lead the rest of his people to lie low and do things.
It wasn't until she came back in a high-profile manner that the spying seemed to have disappeared.
And the history of the Gong family in the aboriginals wasn't complete.
What a pity.
All the truth had been buried in the long river of history, without a trace, and there was no way to find out.
No one knew how glorious the Gong Family was back then to be able to accumulate so many mountains of gold and silver!
Uncle Huo didn't know what she was thinking. He only said worriedly, "Ever since the Gong family was moved away, the thirteen passes became a prison for the aboriginals to imprison the traitors. And those who went in never came out. In the past, some people even sneaked in out of curiosity. In the end, they either stayed in there forever, or were scared silly. When their families found them, they died of fright in a very short period of time. "
"This time, there are actually bandits who escaped from the thirteen passes. I'm afraid those vicious bandits are going to stir up a reign of terror in the aboriginals!"
Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel worried just listening to what Uncle Huo said.
"Since they are traitors, I'm afraid they will be full of resentment towards the aboriginals. And I'm guessing that their lives in the thirteen passes are not easy. Moreover, the aboriginals are coming soon. It's too much of a coincidence for them to escape now. "
Uncle Huo's expression became even more solemn. He had to admit that Lin Mengya's words were exactly what he was thinking.
"No way! I have to write a letter to the elders. What if they are coming for the aboriginals? Wouldn't that be terrible? "
However, Auntie Fang grabbed his arm.
"Come back here! Don't you want to tell them about this? How are you going to explain it? I think you should just tell them that you're not Zhao Yixuan at all. You're Huo Shujiang, who should have died 15 years ago! "
"Then what should I do?" Uncle Huo held his breath, and his mind was in a mess.
Although he had recovered his real memories and identity, the sacrifices he had made over the years had made it a habit for him.
At this moment, he only wanted to protect the aboriginals from harm.
