Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 77 Who is he?
Just when Zeze's scalp was tingling with fear because of the monsters in the dark calling him "little master", Wei Xingying beside him had a stern expression. He tried hard to search his mind for all the old stories about Zeze's master.
Zhuoao.
However, Zhuo Ao had disappeared long before the Ruoye tribe took over Yonghui City five hundred years ago. Some said that he had already ascended to heaven and become an immortal, while others said that he had gone astray in his practice and fell into the devil's way. In short, there were many different opinions, but there had never been an accurate statement. The only thing that could be confirmed was that five hundred years ago, before the death of Yao Ji, the chief wizard of the Shamo tribe at that time, that is, shortly after the Yonghui competition that Uncle Long Yu participated in, this great master mysteriously disappeared from the Xu Ming Realm, and no one knew his whereabouts.
As for the maidservant in green, after Zhuo Ao disappeared, for some unknown reason she quietly left Yonghui City and went to live in seclusion in Kuaiji Mountain. Later, for various reasons, she became friends with Wei Xingying, but that was two or three hundred years ago. At that time, she was the only one in the huge Kuaiji Mountain and there were no disciples at all. This Zeze looked like she was definitely no more than ten years old. It seemed that she should be the disciple that the old witch had just accepted in Kuaiji Mountain a few years ago.
Of course, he also doubted Zeze's real age. After all, Zeze's calm and introverted personality was unlike that of an ordinary human child. Moreover, Zeze's twin brothers and sisters were both reincarnated fox demons. If it were said that Zeze was the reincarnation of a high-level demon beast, it would be completely reasonable. But the strange thing was that after being together for so long, he had never sensed a trace of demonic energy from Zeze.
Could it be that Zeze is really the reincarnation of a high-level demon beast?
However, a demon beast that could conceal its demonic aura so thoroughly and still possess such powerful strength after reincarnating as a human...at least Wei Xingying had never seen such a thing in his life!
Such monsters only exist in ancient legends!
Could it be that Zeze is Zhuo Ao's descendant? !
Well, actually, Ying Lili's initial conclusion was that Ze Ze might be Zhuo Ao's son. However, when she thought about the age difference between Ze Ze and the grandmaster who had disappeared for five hundred years, it was really too outrageous.
Therefore, conservatively speaking, Ying Lili concluded that Ze Ze must be the descendant of Zhuo Ao.
However, when Gong Lili used his inner thoughts to tell Mo Yi his speculation, Mo Yi coughed violently twice, as if he was choked. Moreover, Mo Yi's expression at this time was even more subtle, and he looked a little bit amused and helpless.
"Absolutely impossible! He is definitely not Zhuo Ao's descendant, let alone Zhuo Ao's son!" Mo Yi's tone was very firm, and he used several "absolutes" in a row. Of course, the reason was not easy to say out loud. He couldn't just tell Gong Lili directly that old guy Zhuo Ao had been thinking about my dead mother for more than five hundred years, and he probably never got married.
However, Ping Lili didn't know the reason behind this. When she heard Mo Yi deny her speculation in such a firm tone, she naturally felt a little strange and subconsciously retorted, "I didn't say he was your son . Why are you so excited?"
These words completely stifled Mo Yi. This indomitable figure, who had dominated the Void Realm, now felt a sense of defeat. It seemed the world was truly fair, with every power surpassing its own. So Mo Yi simply shut up and ignored her, lest she let her imagination run wild and make matters worse.
Just when everyone was secretly speculating about Zeze's life experience, the little boy Zeze, who was involved, was unusually calm.
At this time, he had pushed away the people in front of him and gradually walked out of the ice-blue light curtain opened up by Mo Yi's "Dragon-Slaying Roar". The monsters in the darkness were even more excited when they saw him approaching, and gathered around with shrill laughs. Only then did everyone see the appearance of those monsters clearly. Their bodies were dark gray, with pointed heads like rats, but their bodies were like jackals. What's more, most importantly, each of them walked upright, just like humans!
Is this the legendary demon beast? For no apparent reason, Ying Lili thought of the two fox demons subdued by her demon-binding ring. They were both demon beasts, but the feelings were so different, weren't they? Ying Lili even thought maliciously in her heart whether she should use the demon-binding ring to subdue them all later. However, she was in no rush.
More and more monsters gathered in front of Zeze, with their pointed heads next to each other, forming a black mass. If it weren't for the two long fangs in their mouths that looked quite scary, Yinglili would even forget the reality that they seemed to want to eat people.
Just when Zeze was about to say something, the group of monsters suddenly made way for him, screaming: "The young master is back, we can be free again!"
"Freedom! Oh yeah~ Freedom! Oh yeah~" The monsters suddenly became agitated, and each of them looked extremely excited.
There were some monsters that were still relatively clear-headed and said anxiously, "Young Master, hurry to the main hall! The Master Divine Beast is about to wake up!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, unsure what was going on. Could there be a palace beneath the earth? A divine beast? What was going on? Although they had long known there were divine beasts underground, they had no idea what the relationship was between them and Zeze.
Zeze, however, now displayed a composure befitting his age. He pointed at the leader of the monsters, beckoning it to come closer before asking, "Do you know me?"
The monster nodded seriously: "Young master, don't you remember us? You have been here for hundreds of years!"
When Zeze heard this, he was really shocked. Ever since he could remember, he had been practicing with his master in Kuaiji Mountain and had never heard anything about his parents. He had asked his master about it, but his master always avoided the question and just told him that he would understand it in the future. So, he always thought that he was an orphan picked up by his master, but he never thought that he had such a past. But why did he have no memory of it at all?
He grabbed the monster and asked anxiously, "Who am I? Why don't I remember anything about my past? Also, was this what I looked like when I left here? How long have I been gone?"
The demon beast held by Zeze was stunned, seemingly unable to react to the barrage of questions. It took a long while for it to respond. "I don't know how long you've been gone, young master. I'm afraid it's been hundreds of years, if not decades. I remember you looked like this when you left. You look exactly the same, so we recognized you right away."
How big is this Pingping?
He's been underground for hundreds of years, and we don't know how long he's been away. I'm afraid he's at least a few hundred years old, if not a thousand...
Especially for Ping Lili, she blushed as she recalled how she had always treated Ze Ze like a child. She had never expected that people in this underworld world were not to be judged by appearances. Even Ze Ze, who looked like a child, was at least several hundred years old, old enough to be her grandfather's grandfather...
Looking at Zeze's rosy, pink, and tender little face, and thinking of his true age, Yinglili found it a little amusing. This guy, with his childish face, was the ultimate evildoer, swindling people everywhere! No wonder he often spoke so solemnly.
However, a crucial question arises at this point: why does Zeze remain a child? Even if they grow extremely slowly like the Ruoye, they still have to grow up, unless...
Unless he is from Nayu and is also under that curse!
However, there was nothing on the back of Zeze's hand. Even Mo Yi had never felt the same way, let alone Ying Lili. Ever since Yao Ji was sealed, the Vermillion Bird mark had never appeared again.
Mo Yi shook his head at Gong Lili, but his expression became more solemn.
There is no doubt that Zeze is not from Nayu.
At this moment, an even more terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly came from behind these monsters, and they seemed to be even more excited and joyful. Even the monster that was just grabbed by Zeze couldn't help but laugh shrilly, "Young master, please go to the main hall quickly. The master beast is about to wake up!"
Everyone's heart sank. Was the ancient beast about to awaken? Everyone was terrified. They wondered what kind of terrifying existence that beast was. But they didn't know why those monsters were so excited.
Zeze had obviously thought of this question as well. His face was now wrinkled, as if he was troubled by a series of questions. However, he still asked, "Why are you so excited? What is that mythical beast?"
"Little Master, don't you remember? When I took you away from here last time, I told you that the next time you come back, it will be the time to give our demon rat clan freedom!"
Only then did everyone understand why the monsters were so happy to see Zeze. It turned out to be related to the freedom of their own demon rat clan. But who sealed them here? And who was the master they spoke of?
But before Zeze could ask, a violent gust of wind came howling, accompanied by a long cry like a phoenix or a baby's cry. Then, the dark underground suddenly turned into a scarlet red. It was not a sea of fire, but it was even more scorching than the previous sea of fire purgatory!
All directions were enveloped by this crimson light. Only then did everyone see clearly that they were standing before a majestic temple, approximately ten feet tall. The crimson light was emitted by the eight relief pillars in front of the temple. It was unknown what material the temple was made of; not a single brick or stone could be seen. The entire temple was a breathtakingly beautiful and seamless work of art, like a massive, unparalleled work of art! Although it didn't appear magnificent, it gave off a sense of awe and oppression.
If we hadn't come all the way here, no one would have believed that there was such a magnificent temple underground in Yonghui City. How was it built? And who built it?
The door of the temple was tightly closed at this time, but the long cry that sounded like a phoenix or a baby's cry seemed to come from inside the temple.
"I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Suzaku!"
During the 'Dragon-Slaying Roar', Canglong snorted coldly.
In fact, this is complete nonsense, because when everyone present saw the Vermillion Bird relief on the red temple pillars, they all understood in their hearts that this is the legendary Vermillion Bird Temple!
It turns out that the ancient mythical beast sleeping under Yonghui City is the Vermilion Bird.
