Marna, the name of the little white beast, was temporarily changed by Long Gang, and it was clear that the little beast was quite receptive. Its little tail swayed from time to time, and it looked quite comfortable.
The hidden passageway was vertical and was about 30 meters deep.
After that, Long Gang fell into a stone passage. The walls were crisscrossed with a kind of stone that could emit light. It was not dazzling, and it could even be said to be soft, but it made the whole passage look quite bright.
Long Gang continued to go deeper and found a small hole on the road, the kind that just allowed Marna to pass through. Presumably, it was made by this little guy.
"What's in here?" Long Gang looked at the little guy lying on his shoulder and asked.
Of course, he couldn't get the answer. The little guy couldn't speak. Even if Long Gang could communicate with it, he could only feel some vague thoughts, which was quite chaotic.
But no one should have been here for a long time. Even Mojito hadn't been here. He should have never found this place.
Even Long Gang himself, if he didn't have the ability to communicate with creatures, and if he didn't sense Marna, he would have missed it.
This used to be a village of shepherds. Why did they build such a passage under the village? Where does this passage lead to?
Soon, Long Gang found the answer.
At the end of the passage, what he saw at this time was another village!
Its area was at least half smaller than the one on the ground. The road was narrower, and the houses were more compact. At the same time, this place also looked empty. This place had been abandoned for a long time.
As soon as he walked in here, Marna jumped down from Long Gang's shoulder, and then quickly ran into the underground village.
Long Gang subconsciously looked up. The glowing stones at the top illuminated the entire space. Going back to the problem of the shepherds building this underground village, Long Gang felt that it was very likely that the shepherds were hiding from something.
Everything here was quite primitive. Whether it was the houses, the tools … everything was made with the simplest materials, and there was no trace of technical content in the tools.
"They, are they trying to avoid the surveillance of the central tower?"
Suddenly, Long Gang seemed to realize something. And, he quickly caught up with the little white beast, Marna. At this time, Marna stopped in a small circular square.
What shocked Long Gang was that in this small plaza, he actually discovered many stone coffins!
At a glance, there were at least a hundred and fifty to sixty sarcophagi … They were neatly arranged, surrounding the entire ring-shaped square, thus forming a radiation-like pattern.
And in the middle of all this, in the very center of the ring-shaped square, was a huge square pillar … a white pillar.
Long Gang couldn't help but feel shocked. He had seen such a pillar before. However, compared to the other pillars he had seen in the square of this underground village, this one was obviously much smaller, much smaller!
It was the White Tower that existed in the underwater city!
That's right, the shape of the obelisk was exactly the same as the white tower in the underwater city … Long Gang was shocked by the discovery here and subconsciously approached the obelisk.
However, the moment he stepped into the ring-shaped square, an unknown feeling of fear suddenly filled his whole body. Long Gang couldn't help but shudder. He subconsciously stopped his footsteps.
Long Gang looked around … At this time, with the ability to listen to the voice of all things, he felt the thoughts on the thick stone coffins — They were telling something.
Whispers, unfortunately, could no longer be distinguished … The only thing that could be confirmed was that they didn't want Long Gang to get close.
"I just want to find the truth." Long Gang said softly, "Even if you are buried here, you still revere it so much … Perhaps it is your belief?"
These thoughts didn't disperse.
Long Gang couldn't help but frown … Soon after, he thought of something and said seriously, "I am also a descendant of the shepherds. If you are really the shepherds from back then, then I can also be considered as your descendant. If you are really my ancestors, then … Please let me know everything about you. Shepherds … Why do we exist?! "
More than a hundred thoughts, instantly became a lot stronger … Around the square, at this time, began to emit a faint blue light — From the pure thoughts to now, Long Gang actually saw a light blue airflow appear.
These airflows didn't disperse, instead, they began to look for something … At this time, they began to rush toward the small white hand, Marna.
Finally, without knowing, a thin dark blue diamond-shaped crystal was formed on Marna's forehead, and his body began to slowly float vertically.
"Sure enough, there is a reaction … You are really shepherds!" Long Gang's eyes lit up at this time.
So, Marna, who was floating, looked at Long Gang like this. At the same time, a voice that seemed to be mixed with many voices also naturally rose in Long Gang's heart.
"We are the last shepherds, this is the collection of our thoughts … You can call me, or we are called [Tomorrow]."
"Tomorrow?" Long Gang couldn't help but be startled and subconsciously said, "Hope? Your hope is [Tomorrow]? "
"You can think of it that way, but we are not waiting for the arrival of [Tomorrow]." [Tomorrow] slowly said, "We do feel that there is a remnant of the shepherds' bloodline in you, but it is not very strong … I think, you should be the descendant of those who escaped, right?"
"Probably so …" Long Gang also had to face this identity of his. At the same time, his heart skipped a beat, "What did you say, those who escaped? So, that means that not all of the shepherds left the central tower? "
"Not by much, those who stayed are all here." [Tomorrow] indifferently said, "We did not choose to leave, because some of the shepherds' views are not completely unified. Of course, most of them chose to leave. "
"Why did you not leave here?" Long Gang couldn't help but frown as he asked, "Do you know what kind of glorious civilization those shepherds who left created … Even though, even though this civilization has been destroyed, and the survivors can only survive in the deep sea."
"Our origin is here, we don't want to go anywhere." [Tomorrow] was still rather indifferent, "There is something we need to protect here."
Long Gang subconsciously said, "This pillar? In the underwater city, there is an identical pillar, but it is much bigger than this … What is it? "
"It is the inheritance, it is us." [Tomorrow] slowly said, "It is the place where the soul rests. Even if the shepherds die physically, their spirit will not be extinguished. The Holy Tower can place our souls. "
"It still has power." Long Gang was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "I can feel that it still contains the powerful power of the deceased … Just like the White Tower in the underwater city. But the White Tower in the underwater city can only be used by the Emperor of the underwater city. "
"The Emperor of the underwater city you are talking about should be a descendant who has completely awakened the power of blue blood." [Tomorrow] thought at this time and said, "This is not very strange. In our era, the shepherds who have reached adulthood can use the power of the Holy Tower. You can feel it because you have a trace of blue blood in your body. But, according to your situation, under normal circumstances, you will probably never be able to awaken the power of blue blood. "
Long Gang smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe it is because I am just a mixed-blood? If it's not high, then it's not high. I've never been dissatisfied with my own bloodline … It has already brought me to this world and given me life. "
"Your ability is sensing?" [Tomorrow] suddenly said at this time.
"Sensing?" Long Gang was startled and said subconsciously, "You mean my ability to communicate with you? I will call it [Listen to the Voice of All Things]. "
"Listen to All Things?" [Tomorrow] seemed to have a smile, "Do you know what the real Listen to All Things is? Your ability is at best the prerequisite ability to listen to All Things. You are still far from the real Listen to All Things. "
Long Gang suddenly had a feeling of blushing.
The blue crystal on Marna's forehead suddenly flashed, and then [Tomorrow] suddenly said, "What is your name?"
"Long Gang."
"Long Gang, now you come to the front of the Holy Tower." [Tomorrow] said indifferently, "Although it is only a very thin bloodline, it is still a descendant of blue blood. As the descendant of a shepherd, you should show your reverence in front of our faith. "
Long Gang frowned.
He hesitated for a moment and finally chose to walk into the square. He approached the obelisk step by step — this time, he was not stopped.
Standing completely in front of the obelisk, Long Gang looked up. There seemed to be a stream of light flashing on the pure white tower … The reverence in his heart rose again. Long Gang subconsciously knelt in front of the Holy Tower, closed his eyes, and showed a pious expression.
At this moment, in his closed eyes, Long Gang actually saw a blue flame in the darkness … It was ignited in the darkness.
From weak to vigorous.
In the blue flame, Long Gang even [saw] a blue crystal sword … As if it was calling, he subconsciously reached out to grab it.
Grab it!
Long Gang opened his eyes at the instant his hand gripped the blue crystal longsword's hilt … At this moment, a blue crystal longsword had actually appeared in his hand!
A joyful thought was transmitted from the blue crystal longsword at this moment.
"It seems to be … very happy?" Long Gang subconsciously looked at [Mana], "Happy for my arrival?"
"It is not happy for your arrival, but it is happy for the arrival of the blue blood." [Tomorrow] said indifferently, "If it is a shepherd who has completely awakened the blue blood, it will be truly happy."
"… Okay." Long Gang smiled awkwardly. He only felt that he was probably looked down upon by the real ancestor.
"This is the shepherd's holy sword." [Tomorrow]'s voice sounded again, "There is also a set of holy armor … At that time, the shepherd who left took the holy armor away, and the holy sword was kept by us. Do you know what your mission is, Long Gang? "
Long Gang subconsciously opened his mouth. He only held the blue crystal sword in his hand, but he did not know that he had a mission.
[Tomorrow] said, "You have the duty to bring the souls of the shepherds who wandered outside back to the Holy Tower … This is the place where we rest in peace. At that time, although they left, they will come back one day. We stay and look after the Holy Tower so that one day, we can bring their souls back to bury them. We are shepherds, and at the same time, we are tomb keepers … Long Gang, are you willing to be a tomb keeper? "
"If I refuse, are you going to take back this … [Holy Sword]?" Long Gang frowned.
"No, I can't take it back." [Tomorrow]'s words made Long Gang feel depressed, "In fact, if you didn't stop just now and directly came in front of the Holy Tower, you will still get the [Holy Sword]."
Long Gang shook his head and frowned again, "So you … You just watch and I take it away? What if I refuse? "
"You won't refuse." [Tomorrow] shook his head, "Remember, the [Holy Tower] is an inheritance, the [Holy Sword] is an inheritance, and the [Holy Armor] is also an inheritance. They will guide you to do what you should do."
"What I should do … what I should do?" Long Gang suddenly looked up, "What, what is it that I should do?"
This time, [Tomorrow] did not respond.
But at the same time, the [Holy Tower] suddenly shot a ray of light into Long Gang's body … He felt as if he was bathing in warm water, and the comfortable feeling made him reluctant to leave.
"Your bloodline is too thin … Accept this gift from us." [Tomorrow]'s voice sounded in Long Gang's heart, "Remember, you are a shepherd, and also a tomb keeper … Our tomb is where our [Tomorrow] is buried."
"Wait …"
The light of the Holy Tower disappeared, and the light around Long Gang also disappeared … Even the little white beast, Ma Na, had fallen to the ground at this time, and seemed to have fainted.
However, the dark blue crystal on Ma Na's forehead did not disappear, and it seemed to be completely embedded in its body.
Long Gang subconsciously lifted the blue crystal sword … At this time, its light was no longer there, and he could no longer feel it with his mind. Instead, it became dim.
However, as long as he willed it, the [Holy Sword] would instantly release a dazzling light.
"I am … a tomb keeper?"
