The water ghost said her name was Yuan, which was only one character. This name was not her original name, but a given name. It was given to her by the last monarch of the Great Western Kingdom, the strange emperor who personally became the bearer of the Heart of Atlantis.
Speaking of her identity, it was actually quite unique - she was actually the personal maid of the last monarch of the Great Western Kingdom, and served the last monarch for more than 20 years!
At first, she was not actually a person in the palace. She was born on a small island in the south of the Great Western Kingdom. One year, a plague attacked the island!
According to Yuan's description, the plague was very contagious. It spread all over the small island in almost the blink of an eye. The infection time was less than a week. It was much more toxic than the Black Death. As long as the infected person had transparent small blisters all over his body, he would continue to have a fever and die in a few days. Anyway, she talked about it for a long time, using countless words to describe the horror of the plague. Finally, I almost figured out what the plague that killed countless people was - smallpox!
Throughout the history of human civilization, there have been famous virulent infectious diseases.
Anyone who knows about smallpox should know that before the emergence of the "cowpox" vaccine, humans were basically unable to fight against smallpox. Once smallpox appeared, it would often infect the entire village. Not to mention ordinary people, even if the emperor was infected, he could not get effective treatment. It was a terminal illness among terminal illnesses. Once you got it, you could only fight it hard. If you survived it, you would have antibodies in your body and you would be fine. You would never be infected with this virulent infectious disease again in your life. If you couldn't survive it, you would die within three days!
Unfortunately, on the small island where Yuan lived, no one survived after contracting smallpox except her. All of Yuan's relatives died in the disaster. It was her fate that she was not going to die. When she was terminally ill, she found that the only sick cow in her family had run away. It was her only companion on the island where no one had died at that time. Of course, she couldn't bear to let the sick cow run away, so she chased it and chased it directly into the deep mountains. Finally, she found that the sick cow was eating a plant called "thorn grass" on the mountain.
At this time, Yuan suddenly remembered a sentence that the villagers used to say - thorn grass is a life-saving grass for livestock. If there are sick livestock in the village, they will go to the mountains to find this grass to eat. After eating it, six or seven out of ten can survive!
So Yuan thought, thorn grass can save cows, can it save herself?
She was also terminally ill, so she was cruel and picked the thorn grass and stuffed it into her mouth and swallowed it!
You know what, after swallowing it, she fell asleep on the mountain. When she woke up the next day, her high fever had subsided and she survived. As for whether it was the miraculous effect of the thorn grass or the antibodies she produced in her body that saved her from death, it's hard to say. Anyway, I haven't heard of any herbal medicine that can treat smallpox. It may be a special plant born in the unique geographical environment of Atlantis. After all, Atlantis has been blown up by the old bastard Sanqing Taoist. Now there is no way to verify it, so I didn't go into it.
Later, I don't know how Yuan's story spread out, and finally it even reached the ears of the last monarch of Atlantis, who was still the prince at the time. So the last monarch went to see Yuan to show his closeness to the people. It didn't matter if he saw it. After listening to Yuan's story, the last monarch was shocked! He said that this was a miracle of the great god Orion, and Yuan was also the daughter of the god of Orion, a symbol of auspiciousness, so he simply took Yuan with him and brought her into the palace!
Yuan was also named by the last monarch when she entered the palace, because the pronunciation of Yuan in ancient Greek means a daughter favored by heaven, a holy and flawless daughter. In short, the last monarch had nothing to do, and he was promoting his divine right to rule the country and fooling the people. Look, my maids are all daughters favored by heaven, so am I not the true dragon emperor?
Yuan entered the palace just like that. In the following years, she has always been by the side of the last monarch, and witnessed the last monarch and the Three Pure Ones talking by candlelight at night, and also witnessed the war between theocracy and imperial power in the late Great Western Kingdom!
Until the last monarch of Atlantis personally became the bearer of the Heart of Atlantis, built a mausoleum at the end of the sacred river, and finally had his heart and lungs cut out, and was turned into a prostrate warrior...
Yuan said that night, the last monarch was killed alive in his room, and his internal organs were brought out of the room one by one by the palace maids. She could smell the bloody smell even when she stood outside the room. The whole palace was filled with wailing. It was not until dawn that the heart of Atlantis was stuffed into his stomach and sutured, and the whole process was considered over. The man who she witnessed every detail of his seventeen years of rule finally ended his brilliant and absurd life.
It was at that time that Yuan decided to be buried with the last monarch, to die in return for the man's kindness in raising her and keeping her alive, to enter the mausoleum with this man, to turn into a ghost to guard the cemetery for this man, and to wait for him to resurrect and return as a super soldier, and then to accompany him to watch the world's turmoil and defend the eternal glory of Atlantis!
Not only Yuan, but all the guards of the entire palace were buried alive with the last monarch!
Those guards were the first batch of new-style troops trained after Daxi gave up peace and embarked on the path of military state. They were very powerful and made outstanding contributions in the battle to quell the rebellion of Saint Xima. There were about a thousand of them, all of whom committed suicide at dawn when the last monarch of Daxi was killed by cutting out his heart!
They and Yuan were all sent to the mausoleum of the corpse-raising ground and became the night watchmen of the last monarch.
Because the Taoist Sanqing said that before the last monarch was resurrected, Daxi would be in eternal night. A country without the protection of the god of war was destined to be dark, because war would always threaten Daxi. It was precisely because of these charlatan remarks that those who were buried alive with the last monarch were called night watchmen.
"We are the kingdom's shield, we are the servants of the god of war.
We will watch in the long night, standing in the darkness waiting for the dawn.
Dedicate life, and death will never end.
This is the case tonight, and every night."
When talking about this, two lines of blood and tears fell from Yuan's eyes, and she kept reciting the oath they made when they were buried alive. Unfortunately, the loyalty and bravery at the time has now become a joke under the lies of the Taoist Sanqing!
In other words, at the end of the sacred river, the so-called corpse-raising ground is actually a mausoleum!
There are not only Yuan as the night watchman, but also many, and those are not water ghosts, but... ghost soldiers! !
They are not ghost soldiers holding rusty spears and swords, which are completely different from the ghost soldiers we have seen before, but ghost soldiers holding super individual weapons created by the prehistoric super civilization of Atlantis! ! Unfortunately, all our fears about the prehistoric super civilization of Atlantis before entering the seabed have become reality.
According to Yuan, those ghost soldiers are indeed holding laser weapons! !
Because, the fourth era of Atlantis is the civilization of light, and what they are best at using is, of course, the power of light!!
Can you imagine how many grass mud horses are running wildly in my heart at this moment?
More than a thousand ghost soldiers holding laser weapons, and according to Yuan, those individual weapons are still useful until now, because those periods are connected to the Heart of Atlantis. As long as the energy source of the Heart of Atlantis is not exhausted, those laser weapons can be fired at us unlimitedly!
So, can we still go to this corpse breeding ground?
Going there is simply courting death!!
After listening to my translation, the fat man and the others were simply dumbfounded. Finally, the fat man asked Yuan unwillingly: "So, since those ghost soldiers were so loyal during their lifetime, if they knew that the country they loved had been destroyed by the Three Pure Ones Taoists, and that they had given everything but were actually deceived by the Three Pure Ones Taoists, would they be able to stand on our side like you?"
I translated the fat man's words to Yuan.
"How is it possible? You should know that they are ghost soldiers, with only the belief in fighting left, and they only exist to keep watch. They are different. I jumped into the river to be buried with my dead body, but they... committed suicide!"
Yuan said with a somewhat ugly face: "Now they only recognize the orders of the general! Because they obeyed the orders of the general when they were alive, and the general is the prophet. When suppressing the rebellion of Saint Sima, the prophet was worshipped as the general. Only the prophet has this order of the general! Now, the two messengers sent by the prophet are carrying this order of the general, which means that other night watchmen obey the orders of these two messengers!"
The fat man's face turned pale!
"Is there no other way?"
The old madman's face was as pale as a white pancake at this time, obviously frightened, but he pretended to be cool and smoothed his hair that was as sticky as felt, squeezed out a stiff and ugly smile, and said in a deep voice: "You have fought with me before, you know, I am actually a master, I am not afraid of those night watchmen, but I remember their lifelong loyalty and bravery, so I don't want to hurt them, if possible, that... I hope you can think of a way to let us try to avoid those night watchmen, and then go directly to the two prophet's messengers, okay? After all, I am a monk, compassionate!"
I was so shocked when I heard what the old madman said. What time is it, you are still pretending? Why don't you just admit that you are afraid? Why are you so nagging!
However, although I was impatient, I still translated the old madman's words to Yuan truthfully.
Yuan fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, her eyes lit up and she said directly: "When you said that, I just remembered that there is indeed such a road. I saw the sketch when the mausoleum was built. There is indeed such a secret passage that leads directly to the king's sleeping place!"
After saying that, Yuan pointed to the Yin River and said in a deep voice: "The secret passage is under the water!"
