Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 789 A traitor among us?

After successfully tying the eight knots, Shao Xuan practiced several times separately before starting to combine the eight knots.

When Shao Xuan was practicing knotting at the foot of the mountains next to Eagle Mountain, there was a serious atmosphere farther away, on the other side of the sea, where Wangcheng Yijia was located.

After so many years of development, the Yi family has also split into many branches. Among them, the main branch is the main line of the Yi family, which belongs to the line in power. At this time, almost all the people in the main line of the Yi family stay behind closed doors. There are always a few high-profile people showing their presence in the village, but now, I don't see a single person from the main line of the Yi family wandering outside.

There are many people standing around the courtyard wall of the Yi family, all of them are slaves and branch people of the Yi family, other than that, no one else can get closer.

The street in the royal city where divination is calculated has become empty since three days ago. Unknown caravans and long-distance trading teams came here to predict the recent fortune or predict something else, but they did not. Thinking of being in vain, they didn't dare to go directly to Yi's house to find someone. Anyone with a little brain could see that something was wrong. Even if they were curious, they just looked at the Yi's mansion from a distance.

In fact, it is not only the caravans and traveling teams that have traveled all the way to Wangcheng, even the Yi family, there are also some young people who do not know the details and the situation. After being assigned tasks, they still look around curiously from time to time. The people in their branches In fact, they seldom come to the main house of the Yi family, but this time, all the members of the Yi family were dispatched.

"Father, why is everyone so nervous? What do those people in the main line want to do? I heard that they want to start a war? Who are they going to fight with?" A young man from the branch of the Yi family asked his father beside him.

In the past, when his father heard someone mentioning the main channel, he would definitely say something sour. The main channel usually has no good attitude towards the people in their branch, but the accumulated resentment did not dare Let it out, and talk about it in private. But at this time, the boy's father frowned tightly, his eyes still full of worry. Hearing his son's question, he raised his eyes and glanced, lowered his voice and said sternly: "Shut up! Look around, who dares to be here?" Time to break in and kill!"

Hearing his father's attitude, the boy swallowed nervously, knowing that this time was different from the past, and the situation might be quite serious, but since his father didn't want to tell him more, he didn't dare to ask more. Staring at the surroundings with both eyes, he replied in a low voice: "Yes!" After finishing speaking, he closed his mouth tightly and did not make a sound.

In a large courtyard in the center of the Yi family, nearly a hundred people gathered. These are all people from the main line, and they are all quite powerful in the main line. One-third of them are called masters in the royal city. . No matter how arrogant they are on weekdays and how aggressive they are outside, here, they are just like obedient students, sitting in their seats honestly.

Whether it is the person sitting on the ground cushion in the center of the courtyard or the other mainline people standing around, they all waited silently,

It was this kind of waiting that made the atmosphere more dignified. This kind of oppressive feeling that was almost breathless was felt by everyone outside the Yi family.

The sky also became darker than before.

All of a sudden, the sound of footsteps came from far to near, and the speed was faster but people could not feel the rush and urgency.

As soon as they heard footsteps, some people who were still wandering in the yard suddenly settled their minds.

There were eight people who came over, and the three standing in the front were all old men with gray or all white hair. They were the elders of the Yi family who usually didn't care about world affairs. They were the real senior and powerful elders of the Yi family. Only come forward when it's really a matter of life or death.

Behind the three old men is the head of the Yi family. According to the tribal people, he is a leader. This kind of person usually speaks the same in the Yi family, and few people dare to refute him face to face, but now, he is only ranked fourth, the first three old people, one is his grandma, and the other two are also very senior people, When one of the old men called him, he also bowed slightly and walked over respectfully to listen.

"Not yet?" An old man with cloudy white eyes asked without looking at the yard. Although he can't see, it doesn't affect his perception of external things. Sometimes, he can see more things than ordinary people.

"Most of them have arrived. Only some who were on missions failed to come back. Yi Cong and Yi Qi are still in another continent at this moment, but they should be ready." The owner of the Yi family replied. .

"Yeah." The old man was not angry because of this. Anyway, people who are out on missions can also participate in the battle.

"Please divination!" said the gray-haired old woman standing next to the Patriarch of the Yi family.

After the other two elders nodded, the Patriarch of the Yi family said loudly: "Please divination!"

This is what the Yi family must do every time there is a big event. The so-called divination is to take out the precious thing left by the ancestors. It is a tortoise shell with some orange-red words and lines chiseled on the back. The text is not a common text, but a rune that only the Yi family can understand, and the lines faintly form the totem of the Yi family. The plastron, on the other hand, is white without any patterns or etchings.

Inside the tortoise shell, in the space between the carapace and the plastron, there are some cut and polished bones, a total of eight bones with different shapes.

"This time, who's turn to do divination?" An old man asked.

The gray-haired old woman turned the crutch in her hand, "I was in charge of the last family meeting. This time, it's time to change."

The old man with cloudy eyes didn't say much, stepped forward, held up the tortoise shell on the stage with both hands, and then returned to his seat and sat down. On the ground in the center of the yard, the three front cushions belonged to the three of them.

After Yi Yu sat down, he stretched out his right hand and attached it to the back of the tortoise shell. The tortoise shell was a circle bigger than his palm. If he grasped it normally, he couldn't grasp it at all, but now, the tortoise shell seemed to be attached to the palm of Yi Yi's hand. Same, clinging to the palm. With a flick of Yi Yi's wrist, the bone fragments in the tortoise shell jumped up immediately, making a "crash" impact sound. When he raised his palm forward, not only the tortoise shell did not fall, but also the bone fragments in the tortoise shell did not fall out of the big gap. Instead of falling, it continued to jump inside the tortoise shell.

The flame appeared, and in front of Yi Yu, an arc-shaped fire path appeared. A red and white fire ball rose from the other side of the arc-shaped fire path. shadow.

Yi Yu stretched out the hand attached to the tortoise shell towards the fire ball in front, and when the tortoise shell approached the fire ball, the bone fragments inside the tortoise shell beat more violently, and the sound became more rapid.

"Ka Ka Ka -"

The sound of cracking overwhelmed the bone fragments inside the tortoise shell. On the plastron of the tortoise shell, some orange-red cracks appeared.

When the sound of cracking stopped, Yi Yu withdrew his hand and looked at the cracks on the plastron of the tortoise shell. He lost the vision of a normal person, but it didn't affect his ability to see the cracks on the tortoise shell. The more he looked, the more serious the expression on Yi Yu's face became, and the more worried in his eyes.

Yi Yu handed the tortoise shell to the other two old men for a look, and their expressions were not much better than Yi Yu's.

"It seems that the Yi family will usher in a tough battle." Yi Yu said.

In fact, the result shown on the crack was even worse than what Yi Zhuan said. It was not a hard fight, but a deadly fight! However, there is a ray of life in death, but that ray of life is full of variables.

The three old men knew it well in their hearts, but they couldn't tell the results on the tortoise shell now, they were worried that they would shake people's hearts before the battle.

With an indiscernible sigh, Yi Chuan said loudly, "Prepare for battle!"

A powerful wave of power, like a sudden sea wave, pulled up from this spacious courtyard, and the people standing around the courtyard did not dare to breathe out.

The orange-red arrogance visible to the naked eye filled the surroundings and rolled over, and the vision seen by the naked eye seemed to be distorted.

clatter——

Inside the tortoise shell, the bone fragments hit the tortoise shell and made a rapid sound. The courtyard seemed to shield all sounds, insects, leaves, human breathing, everything disappeared, and the clatter of the bone fragments became the only sound in the courtyard.

clatter——

The sound of bone fragments became more and more rapid until it stopped suddenly.

"open!"

From where Yi Yi was, it seemed that there was an ancient monster that suddenly opened its big black mouth and swallowed everything in the courtyard. The surrounding buildings, people, flowers and trees all disappeared, leaving only a void.

Of course, these were only seen by the hundreds of people sitting in the courtyard, while the people standing on the edge of the courtyard saw nothing but a big totem in the courtyard and the powerful momentum fluctuations brought about by the crimson flames. Other than that, no big changes.

In the void, everyone's figure became blurred, and only a human figure glowing with fire could be roughly seen. Even the outline became blurred from time to time, and the face could not be seen clearly.

Yi Yi could feel that the person they were waiting for would appear soon, and the person who was predicted to be "unlucky" for the Yi family a thousand years ago would appear in front of them soon.

Soon, in the void not far from them, several figures appeared one after another. They were people from the Yi family who hadn't been able to come back.

In another place, with the appearance of the Yi family totem, two figures appeared there.

"Yi Qi, Yi Cong?" Someone in the Yi family recognized them, even if they couldn't see their faces, they knew their auras.

The members of the Yi family did not ask Yi Qi and Yi Cong how things were progressing over there. Now, except for the upcoming war, everything else is irrelevant. Why waste time asking about unimportant things?

After getting together, the three elders of the Yi family asked everyone to get used to it first. Some newcomers would feel uncomfortable, so they appeared here in advance.

After waiting for a while, Yi Yu's eyebrows twitched violently, and he looked towards a place in the void.

Not only Yi Yi, but the other two old men also looked over there with obvious precautions.

The others who followed were stunned for a moment, could someone else come from there?

The Patriarch of the Yi family is also thinking hard at this time, he can't think of anyone who is out on a mission but didn't show up here, even if there was, it was a bit late, based on this time, it should be a few days later? People from the Yi family will not make such mistakes. Excluding these, could the person who appeared now be their enemy this time?

"Knotting?!" Yi Yu couldn't hide his surprise in his words.

People who are not in the headquarters of the Yi family can see what method they used to enter here, based on their abilities. But at this time, the fluctuation over there is not a common method of the Yi family, but the knotting method that has disappeared for a long time. It's just a trick.

Knotting? ! The rest of the Yi family were also surprised.

Hasn't there been no one in the Yi family's knotting line for a long time? Why is it here now? No, there is another person, Yi Xiang, who also knows how to tie knots, that is to say, even if the person who is about to appear over there is not Yi Xiang, it is likely to be related to Yi Xiang!

The knotted rope is a kind of weed grass.

Together with Bu Jia and Bu Gu, the divination grass was once known as the three most powerful divination divinations in the Yi family, and "divination divination" originally came from them. It is rumored that the ancestors of the Miriam grass lineage could learn what they want to know just by picking grass leaves from the mountain. It's a pity that time is rushing, and how many years have passed. The original and complicated lineage of 筮草草 was only supported by the knotting line. The elements of armor and oracle bones create other new methods, and the tie-knot system is also considered to be the most conservative, stubborn and unreasonable system, and at the same time, it is also the poorest system, because the knot-knot system, There is no money concept, and no material pursuits. No matter how much money is paid by people who are not pleasing to the eye, they will not help, so that they are gradually squeezed out.

The last master of the first line of knotting had died thousands of years ago. What made many people in the Yi family gnash their teeth was that the master of the first line of knotting had accepted one apprentice before his death, and that master had only accepted one apprentice in his entire life , and that person is the thorn stuck in the Yi family's throat——Yi Xiang.

When Yi Xiang left that year, he also took with him the lineage of knotting that the master left behind. Since then, the Yi family has no more orthodox knot-knot divination. Knotted divination disappeared, but that did not have much impact on the Yi family. The descendants of the Yi family have created more powerful divination methods.

Knowing that the other party came over by knotting, the first thing that came to everyone's mind was, "Is there a traitor?!"

"Yi Qi, Yi Cong, who were you with before you came?" Yi Yu suddenly asked.

Yi Qi and Yi Cong were taken aback by Yi Zhuan's question. They didn't understand why Yi Xuan asked these questions. Could it be that Yi Xuan was suspicious of the two of them? Suspected of their mutiny? That's not right, although Yi Yu's voice was harsh when questioning, it was not aimed at the two of them. This was not the tone for treating traitors.

Several people flashed through Yi Qi's mind, and at the end there was Shao Xuan's figure, but he resolutely denied it. Certainly not the tribal people, it is impossible for the tribal people to grasp the core of their Yi family.

Yi Cong was also thinking about it, and the words "Flame Horn Shaoxuan" flashed into his mind immediately, but he didn't believe it, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Soon, the fluctuations over there became more and more obvious, and even flames appeared, which indicated that a figure would appear there soon, but, unlike the Yi family, there was no totem of the Yi family appearing there.

Before Yi Cong and Yi Qi appeared, there would be a Yi family totem composed of fire seeds and flames under their feet. What does it mean that there is no totem of the Yi family? The other party is not even the Yi family!

Yi Xiang is also from the Yi family, and the blood of the Yi family is flowing on his body, so such a situation will not happen, so, who is here?

A guess in Yi Cong's mind suddenly increased to 80% possibility, "Shao Xuan? Is it Shao Xuan from the Flame Horn Tribe!?"

What? !

tribal people? !

Or a member of the Flaming Horn Tribe? !

Even the three figures in the lead were shocked suddenly. If they could see the expressions on their faces, they would definitely be full of shock and disbelief.

If it wasn't for Yi Cong who spoke, other members of the Yi family would have been scolded long ago, but Yi Cong, a genius of the younger generation, is not a nonsense person on weekdays, and will not speculate at will.

When everyone in the Yi family was shocked or disbelieving, the flames there became bigger and bigger, different from the color of the flames of the Yi family's fire, but crimson, but there was still no totem.

The fire light finally condensed into a figure, the figure was very blurred, much more blurred than anyone in the Yi family, and it seemed that it might disperse at any time.

"This aura..." Yi Qi looked over there, as if he was shaken by a dull bell, "Flame Horn... Shao Xuan!" (To be continued.):
