Chapter 222: There is nothing between heaven and earth that I cannot calculate
Under the cold moonlight.
The wolf king knelt there, looking at Lin Ye with hope, not moving a muscle, letting the blood from the wound continue to flow out.
The other wolves also lowered their heads at this moment.
Lin Ye stood under the moonlight for a while before he said calmly, "Take me to the forbidden area."
"Thank you...Thank you, Master Lin."
The wolf king looked up with a look of great joy on his face. He quickly stood up and limped ahead to lead the way.
The north of Helang Mountain is a forbidden area for the wolf tribe living in Helang Mountain, because only the Bei tribe can enter.
Wolves are not allowed to enter.
"Do you know why the mountain god of Helan Mountain would help the Bei tribe so much?"
On the way, Lin Ye suddenly asked. The Wolf King paused, shook his head and said, "Master Lin, I don't know either. I have been looking for records about the mountain gods of Helan Mountain over the years, but I haven't found many useful clues. The monster tribes that have lived in Helan Mountain for more than a thousand years have very few descriptions of the mountain gods."
"Could this mountain god's true form be a wolf tribe?"
Lin Ye asked again. Generally speaking, the mountain god would give special treatment to his own people, and even support them to the position of the first force.
"I had this suspicion at first, but later I rejected it. The history of the Bei tribe in the Helan Mountains is only about a thousand years, according to the chief of the Bei tribe himself. However, the records of the mountain gods of the Helan Mountains are much earlier than this time."
The mountain god is not a wolf-dog, but he takes such good care of them. Lin Ye is somewhat interested in the identity of this mountain god.
In a quarter of an hour, the Wolf King brought Lin Ye to the forbidden area of the wolf clan.
A canyon.
Unlike other places on the mountain with lush vegetation, the entire canyon is filled with tranquility, and the sounds of birds and insects have disappeared.
"There are two canyons on the mountain, one in the north and one in the east. The canyon in the east is used to punish members of our wolf tribe who make mistakes, and this canyon is the forbidden area of the wolf tribe. Even if you are a wolf tribe member, not everyone can enter. Only the wolf tribe leader can enter."
The Wolf King explained the situation to Lin Ye, then took a few big steps forward and arrived at the entrance of the canyon.
"Wolf King, what are you doing in our wolf tribe's forbidden area?"
Four wolfhounds came out of the canyon. They had obviously seen the Wolf King. They showed no respect for him and scolded him as if he were a servant: "You are not allowed to come here. Leave now."
"good!"
The wolf king nodded, but the expression on his face turned cold. The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot and turned into four afterimages. When the afterimages disappeared, the four members of the wolf clan had already fallen to the ground, and each of them had a separated head.
Looking at the wide-open eyes of these wolf-dogs, Lin Ye glanced at the Wolf King. He could see that the Wolf King had a great resentment towards the wolf-dogs.
Yes, if it were anyone else, whose entire race had been enslaved for nearly a thousand years, they would probably do the same thing as the Wolf King.
Of course, Lin Ye also understood the other reason behind the Wolf King's action. This was to show his true feelings to him. Killing the people of the Wolf Clan meant that there was no room for maneuver between him and the Mountain God, and that he was of the same mind as him.
The moment he stepped into the canyon, Lin Ye frowned.
Because he couldn't sense the presence of any breath, there were only two possibilities for this situation: there was no mountain god here, or the mountain god's strength was far greater than his, making it impossible for him to detect the other party's breath.
The canyon was not big, and soon Lin Ye and the Wolf King arrived at the center of the canyon, where there stood a huge round stone plate.
On the stone plate, there is an array pattern of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams engraved.
But the strangest thing was that there were a lot of bloodstains on the stone plate, and on one side of the stone plate, there were several bamboo baskets, and in each bamboo basket there was a baby wolf cub.
When the wolf king saw these wolfhound cubs, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He walked forward and was about to attack, but was stopped by Lin Ye.
"Don't do anything yet."
Lin Ye walked to the bamboo basket and picked up one of the wolf cubs. The moment he stretched out his hand, the wolf cub bit his wrist. However, with Lin Ye's current strong body, the wolf cub, whose teeth had not yet grown, could not even leave a tooth mark on Lin Ye's wrist.
Holding the wolf cub in his arms, Lin Ye walked onto the stone plate. After a while, he scratched the wolf cub's hand with his finger. The cub screamed in pain, and blood flowed down its arm and dripped onto the stone plate.
When the Wolf King saw Lin Ye's actions, he stared at the stone plate intently and became fully alert. However, after the blood dripped onto the stone plate, although it was quickly absorbed by the stone plate, the stone plate did not change at all. Instead, the wolf cub showed changes.
Wrinkles began to appear on the cub's face, making him look like a little old man.
The faces of animals are different from those of humans. Wrinkles are usually not visible because of the hair covering their faces. But Lin Ye could see them. And not only Lin Ye, the Wolf King also noticed it.
"This... will you become old after your blood is absorbed by the stone plate?" The wolf king muttered to himself, but then immediately shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. The faces of the wolf tribe are old when they are young, but they will gradually become younger. It turns out that this is not the natural state of the wolf tribe, but because the blood was dripped on the stone plate."
Lin Ye and the Wolf King looked at each other. Lin Ye saw the shock in the Wolf King's eyes and knew what the Wolf King was thinking.
Rejuvenate again and become young again.
"Maybe it's not just physical, it may also include the soul. Don't forget that the Bei tribe is the smartest race in Helan Mountain."
Lin Ye thought of more. Every member of the wolf tribe is very smart, which may be related to this stone plate. If the wolf tribe is old from birth, is it possible that their intelligence is the same as that of an old man? If so, then the intelligence of the wolf tribe can be explained.
"Master Lin, what you mean is that this stone plate actually replaces the souls of the wolf tribe. After each newborn wolf cub passes through the stone plate, it has the soul of an old wolf tribe member in its body."
The Wolf King thought that he had never seen the Bei tribe hold a funeral for a member of the tribe who had grown old and died. Even though they were a demon tribe, unless they were wild beasts whose intelligence had not yet been developed, many of their customs were similar to those of humans for those who had already developed intelligence.
In his opinion, it is very likely that these old members of the wolfhound tribe transferred their souls to their cubs through the stone plate, so the wolfhound tribe is not sad about the aging of their members.
"It could be a transfer of souls, or it could be injecting a lifetime of experiences into the cub's mind."
"Experience transfer..."
The wolf king repeated Lin Ye's words, and the next moment his eyes lit up: "I understand, Master Lin, you are right, it is through experience transfer that these old wolfhounds use the stone plate to pass on their memories to the cubs."
"How do you know for sure?" Lin Ye asked.
"The Manul Tribe!"
The wolf king's face was filled with reminiscence as he explained, "Because I tried to please the wolf tribe, they felt more at ease with me. One time, I heard the wolf tribe leader talking to several elders of the wolf tribe, and they talked about the caracal tribe."
"The leader of the Bei tribe was a little worried at the time. He said that the number of the Manul tribe was too small. If things continued like this, they might not be able to complete the reception ceremony. So they wanted to make some changes in the future. Only important tribesmen were allowed to marry the Manul tribe, but ordinary tribesmen were not allowed to do so."
"All the female caracals who married into the Bei tribe were actually dead the day after their marriage, but the Bei tribe deliberately concealed this fact, preferring to spread the news that the women of the caracals were tortured to death by them because of their brutality."
"Master Lin, is it possible that the wolf tribe passed on its memory through the stone plate and the characteristics of the manul tribe?"
Lin Ye listened to the wolf king's analysis and asked curiously, "What are the characteristics of the caracal tribe?"
“Three seconds!”
The wolf king had a strange expression on his face. Seeing Lin Ye's puzzled expression, he quickly explained, "The caracals are not good at reproduction. That thing only lasts for two or three seconds. But I once asked the caracals, and according to them, the reason why it can only last for two or three seconds is because in their feeling, these three seconds are very long, as if they had lived a lifetime. This is also the reason why the caracals only mate once in their lifetime."
"Three seconds feels like a lifetime. Your guess may be correct."
Lin Ye thought of the scenes in many novels where the male protagonist watched the images in his mind. In the images, several months, years, or even a long life had passed. But when it was over, only a few short seconds had passed in the real world. Some were even completed in an instant.
This is very similar to the caracals, and it makes sense.
But all this is just a matter between Shipan, the wolf-dog tribe and the caracal tribe. What does it have to do with the mountain god?
Where is the mountain god?
The entire canyon is not big. Lin Ye has just scanned the entire canyon with his spiritual sense and did not find anything unusual.
"Smash this stone plate."
After a while, Lin Ye suddenly gave an order to the Wolf King. The Wolf King was stunned for a moment, because in his opinion, no matter whether there was a mountain god in the canyon or not, this stone plate was obviously a treasure. If it were him, he would definitely not smash it, because he might need it someday.
It is not only useful for the race, but also for oneself.
"good!"
But the Wolf King did not dare to disobey Lin Ye's order, and immediately raised his hand to chop at the stone plate.
"You can't do that, fellow Daoist!"
Just at this moment, a voice was heard from the stone plate. The Wolf King was frightened and took a few steps back, looking at the stone plate warily, but Lin Ye did not look surprised at all.
In the entire canyon, the only thing he couldn't see through was this stone plate. If there was a place where the mountain god might be, it was also this stone plate.
"Are you the mountain god?" Lin Ye looked at the stone plate and asked directly.
"I... I'm not a mountain god. I'm the mountain god seal of Helan Mountain."
Mountain God Seal?
Looking at this large disc, Lin Ye found it difficult to connect it with the Mountain God Seal.
The City God has his own seal, and the Mountain God naturally has his own seal.
But generally speaking, mountain god seals, including city god seals, are similar in appearance to official seals, all of which are mainly square or quadrilateral bases. He had also talked about mountain god seals with the old Taoist before. According to the old Taoist, mountain god seals also generally have a square base, and the bottom is engraved with a reduced shape of the mountain under its jurisdiction.
It’s impossible that the Helan Mountains were originally round.
"Fellow Daoist, please let this wolf cub retreat first."
Wolf cub.
The wolf king who was called wolf cub twitched his mouth. He was already 170 years old, yet he was called wolf cub.
But if this stone plate is really the seal of the mountain god, considering the age of the stone plate, the Wolf King is probably really just a little cub in his eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. Don't talk about you. Your entire wolf clan is just a cub in my eyes. I have existed for tens of millions of years."
"Wait for me at the canyon entrance."
Seeing that the Wolf King wanted to argue, Lin Ye gave the order directly, and the Wolf King had to nod. Although he knew in his heart that what the Mountain God Seal was going to say next might involve the secrets of the Helan Mountain God, he also knew that if some secrets were known, it would only bring disaster to himself and his race.
"Stop bragging. I want to hear something useful."
The stone plate boasted that it had existed for tens of millions of years, and Lin Ye immediately realized that this was just a game of words.
If we talk about the formation history of any stone on the entire earth, it would be tens of millions of years.
"Ahem, you are really sharp-eyed. You saw the loophole in my words at a glance. I did not lie to you. I am indeed the Mountain God Seal of Helan Mountain, and the letter you saw earlier was also written by me. But I did not do it voluntarily. I was forced by the Bei tribe."
Lin Ye didn't reply, but just looked at the stone plate silently.
"Ahem, let me speak frankly to you, fellow Taoist. More than a thousand years ago, the mountain god left Helan Mountain but left me in the mountain. He wanted me to guard Helan Mountain for him, but I suffered a thunderstorm and lost all my power. I couldn't leave this canyon. At that time, the wolf-dogs lived in this canyon. I was threatened by them and had no choice but to pretend to be nice to them."
According to the ship plate, although he was a mountain god, he already had his own spirit. In fact, he was not much different from a mountain god. But in order to become a true mountain god recognized by heaven and earth, he must be recognized by heaven and earth. He was not recognized by heaven and earth, and was struck by thunder, which destroyed most of his cultivation, and he fell into this canyon.
It just so happened that there was a tribe of wolf dogs living in the canyon, and they threatened to destroy him, so he had no choice but to cooperate with them.
The first thing he did in the cooperation was that he used the order of the mountain god to order the wolf tribe to obey the hyena tribe, which led to the later wolf and hyena tribe.
The wolves at that time had once received favors from the mountain god, and they obeyed his orders 100%. However, the wolf-dogs were very cunning, and after the older generation of the wolf clan passed away, they began to slowly brainwash the wolf clan, turning their descendants into slaves loyal to them.
However, after the wolf-dog tribe gained benefits, their ambitions became even greater. They were not satisfied with the status quo and threatened to destroy him again. He had no choice but to give the wolf-dog tribe a ritual to pass on their memories.
By utilizing the talents of the manuls and intermarrying with the wolfhounds, they can plunder the talents of the manuls and then pass on their lifelong memories to their newly born cubs after they die. However, each wolfhound can only use it once.
The piece of letter that Lin Ye saw was the one that Shi Pan gave to the leader of the Bei tribe at that time.
Everything is clear.
Over the years, the Wolf Clan has been relying on the power of others to bully others, and there is no mountain god to support them at all. However, this secret was only known by the chief and several elders of the Wolf Clan, and the chief and elders were killed by Lin Ye in the hall.
"No evidence after death?"
Lin Ye's mouth curled up slightly, and a flying sword appeared in his hand.
"I am not very satisfied with your answer!"
The flying sword circled, Lin Ye raised his hand, and just as he was about to swing it, Shi Pan's anxious voice came out: "I can tell you a fortune. There is nothing between heaven and earth that I can't tell."
