C2092 The only day, the hour of freedom
Other than a little time to relax, Xia Lei spent the entire night deciphering and reconstructing the information he stole from the soul in the bottle. It was this information that allowed him to gradually unravel the secrets of the tribe, and also allowed him to grasp the language of the tribe.
Those spirits of different colors were the souls of sacrificial white ghost. Their souls were originally a deep blue, just like their eyes. However, as time passed and the number of experiments increased, the color of their souls would change.
You Xue did her experiment in order to collect the soul of the white energy that was left behind to eat, in an attempt to revive her clan.
Ghost Tribe sacrificed one person every hundred years, and then one person was born. This was the tradition of the Ghost Tribe, but this tradition had changed a thousand years ago. That white energy, which was their god's power, was already unable to satisfy their souls. Every sacrifice was to pull out their souls, turning everything into mush. They would not devour them, nor would they allow their women to give birth to new children.
What happened a thousand years ago? There was no way to know, but one thing was certain, the white ghost Tribe would be completely annihilated if this continued.
Through organizing the memory information that he had stolen, Xia Lei had obtained a very important piece of information ? ? The instruments that You Xue used were all instruments belonging to the spirit race!
After grasping the Ghost Tribe's language, Xia Lei recalled what You Xue had said. He also obtained some extremely valuable information, which was that the God's Tomb did not only have that triangular space, there were other places like the Book Collection Vault. The reason why You Xue started this kind of experiment was because she saw the knowledge of this revival experiment in the library, but she had never succeeded in it before.
A combined information was: The people of this Ghost Tribe and the Ghost Tribe are related to the Spirit Race, and the God they guard and sacrifice, is very likely to be the spirit of a Spirit Race! The basis for his deduction was very simple. Even an "offering" like You Xue could use the spirit clan's ancient instrument to collect and process spirits. As a "god", it was not impossible for spirit clan members to preserve their own souls!
When dawn broke, the wind and snow stopped. With his stomach full, Santissima pushed open the wooden window. Outside the window was a pure white scenery and on the house and the ground was a thick layer of snow.
It was hot desert outside, but it snowed here every day. When he came here, Xia Lei did not understand this phenomenon. Now, he understood that the cold air could help preserve the corpse.
Dong dong dong ?
There was a knock on the door, followed by You Xue's voice, "Mr. Xia, have you and the other wives woken up? I brought you breakfast. "
Upon hearing the word "breakfast" from You Xue's mouth, the mother and Santissima immediately frowned.
Xia Lei went to open the door. You Xue, who was standing in front of him, had concealed her most important characteristic. He pretended not to know anything as she greeted with a smile, "Morning, Miss You Xue. Thank you for breakfast, but you saw it too. We don't need it.
Santissima then plucked a red fruit from the wall and bit into it.
You Xue made a swallowing motion as she anxiously looked at the colourful and ripe fruits on the wall.
"Do you like it?" Xia Lei asked.
You Xue nodded.
Xia Lei laughed and said: "Then just pick as many as you want."
"Really?" You Xue was immediately excited.
Xia Lei laughed, "Go and pick it."
You Xue cheered as she rushed into the room, trying to pick some fruits. Her pockets were soon full, but she was not satisfied. She tightened her white robe and stuffed the fruit into her collar. When she left Xia Lei's room, her stomach was even bigger than her.
After You Xue left, Santissima said: "I feel that she's very pitiful. Even an ordinary fruit can make her so excited."
Xia Lei said: "Of course, all she can eat are anti-corruption drugs, how could she have eaten fresh fruits before?" After pausing for a moment, he said, "I want to go see the Shirdow. Come with me then, we'll go to the Mausoleum of Books."
The Shirdow's house was located right beside the altar. It was a three-story high stone tower, and with the surrounding low stone houses as a backdrop, it gave off a kind of outstanding feeling. It had a rare appearance of glass in its windows, which gave it a "mansion" look compared to the dilapidated wooden doors and windows that surrounded it.
Seeing the Shirdow, Xia Lei stated his intention of coming here, but did not expect the Shirdow to reject it so easily.
"No, Mr. Xia." The Shirdow said in a euphemistic tone, "We are not ready yet."
"What else do you need?" Xia Lei suppressed the anger in his heart, "Didn't you agree to it well yesterday?"
The Shirdow said: "Mr. Xia, every time you open the passage, it will take a lot of energy and energy. You have to give us time to rest, and when we are ready, we will open the passage again, how about we send you in?"
"My wife is coming with me." Xia Lei said.
The Shirdow looked at the mare and Santissima who were standing behind Xia Lei, "That won't do."
"Why?" Xia Lei endured it and did not flare up.
"We only agreed to let you in, not your wife." The Shirdow said: "Mr. Xia, let's do it like this. Go back first, when we are ready, I will send someone to inform you."
"Then when are you going to prepare?"
"I'm not sure about that. It should only be around ten to fifteen days." The Shirdow said.
Xia Lei really wanted to punch out and smash this annoying Shirdow into meat paste. But in the end, he did not do so because he needed the help of these white ghost. Although Santissima and Mu Ma both said that the Mausoleum of Books was located at the extreme north of the Great Maha desert, which was also nearby, it was hidden in the dimensional realm of the extreme north. Without the white ghost here, he wouldn't be able to enter. If he were to destroy the Shirdow, he would not be able to obtain the help of these white ghost. They were already dead, how could he still threaten them with his death?
Just as their heads were hurting, Bai Qi and a few white ghost walked into the living room, where the Shirdow and Xia Lei were meeting.
Bai Qi looked at Xia Lei, Santissima and Mu Ma who were standing behind Xia Lei, and then said, "Patriarch ?"
"It's fine. Speak, he doesn't understand our language." The Shirdow said.
"I secretly poisoned the food, but this guy and his wife didn't eat it. I saw You Xue throw the food away. You Xue also did not eat the food given to her.
"Fruit? Where did she get the fruit? " The Shirdow looked very surprised.
Bai Qi looked at Xia Lei again, "This person's room is filled with grass and vines, the walls are filled with fresh fruits."
"Damn it! I couldn't stand her anymore. Her experiment threatened our faith. She has always doubted or even publicly opposed my decisions, and now she disregards the prohibition of stealing external food and captures her, offering her as a sacrifice to our God! " The Shirdow's voice was full of hostility.
Bai Qi cautiously said, "Patriarch, just because of this reason, I'm afraid ?" "It's hard to convince people. We just sacrificed the grey cloud to God a month ago and now, we're going to sacrifice again. I'm afraid ?"
"Are you going to question my decision?" The hostility in the Shirdow's voice became even heavier.
"No, no, no. I don't dare to doubt your decision, Clan Leader. I only ?" "A bit worried." Bai Qi braced himself and said, "We don't have many people left. Elder Nether Enlightenment also has a certain level of prestige amongst the clansmen. We need to sacrifice his granddaughter. If no one has reason to convince anyone, I'm worried that it will cause a ruckus."
"Reason? Then, he would use the reason of communicating with his enemies. This human is not our friend. How can a lowly human be close to our God? This strong human was brought in by You Xue. She wanted to overturn our faith. And this human and her are plotting a plan to enter the Mausoleum of Books to steal our divine object! "
"Um ? Patriarch ?" The sacred object was brought back here by this human for this reason? " Bai Qi could not continue because this reason was too fake. It was so fake that it was too horrible to look at.
"Idiot!" The Shirdow berated: "Don't you know how to make up a reason?"
"Then... That meant she wanted to steal the divine body with this human, which was why she let this human live in her home. I overheard her talking to this human. They have a plan. " Bai Qi said.
"This is a good reason, go quickly and bring some people to capture You Xue, if you think of any objections, we will capture him together!" The Shirdow gave the order.
"Yes, I'll go right now. You guys follow me." Bai Qi walked past Xia Lei. He looked at Xia Lei and said in the tribal language, "Idiot, you're going to die, but you don't know anything."
Xia Lei nodded his head towards Qi Bai, his face still revealing a friendly smile.
The Shirdow watched as Bai Qi and the few white ghost left, and a cold smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth. "Everyone will die, and only one person in this place can obtain freedom and rebirth, and that's me. The only day, the time of freedom. I'm the only one who knows the secret, but I won't tell you stupid, cursed bastards! "
Xia Lei did not interrupt the entire process, it was as if she was waiting for the conversation between Bai Qi and the Shirdow to end. When the Shirdow seemed to be pleased with itself and muttered "The only time, the day of freedom", he was suddenly stunned.
The only time, the day of freedom.
With this sentence, Shirdow's understanding was that if she sacrificed everyone, the curse on his body would be lifted and she would receive freedom and a new life.
However, Xia Lei's understanding of these words was that this place was related to his mission, he was the key to remove the "curse", this strange place was related to his mission!
"How is this possible? Could it be that the owner of this place, the one who created this strange place, had been waiting for me since a long time ago? Could he be the person lying in the sarcophagus? What does he have to do with my mission? " Xia Lei's heart was filled with surprise and curiosity.
"Mr. Xia, you don't need to go." The Shirdow said: "Follow me to the altar, I will ask for everyone's opinion. If there are no problems with them, you can enter the Mausoleum today."
Xia Lei smiled, "Thank you, Shirdow chief."0
Then he shifted his gaze to the mare.
The mare nodded once.
