Could it be that my father deliberately hid it from me so that he could give me a surprise after I took over the position of clan leader?
At the same time, seeing Ji Lin's strange expression, Hua also asked his sworn brother with a little curiosity:
"Brother Yue, isn't the stigma an invention of the Fire Moth? How did it appear here?"
In fact, Hua's understanding of the stigmata is not much higher than Ji Lin's.
As a half-baked member of the Fire Moth who had not yet completed recruit training, she believed that the stigmata should be something like some kind of special combat equipment.
But even so, Hua can be sure of one thing:
That is, apart from the Fire Moth, there can be no holy marks anywhere else!
But her good brother's tone was so firm, she could only doubt—
Is there a branch of the Fire Moths in this wilderness area?
Faced with Hua's confusion, Ming Yue did not explain immediately, but walked to Ji Lin and looked at her exposed back area.
Because Ji Lin had been chased by the Honkai Beast all the way, his clothes were scratched by obstacles such as tree branches and were already in tatters.
In addition, her father had made clear arrangements for her when she returned to the clan, so she didn't even have time to change into clean clothes, so she just followed Ming Yue on a stroll.
Therefore, when Ming Yue's gaze fell on Ji Lin's vaguely visible back, her expression was very panicked.
Ji Lin's scalp tingled when he thought of the legendary immortal who ate young boys and girls alive and thus blessed the sacrificial tribe with years of stability.
At this moment, she finally experienced firsthand what it meant to feel like a thorn in the back.
But when he thought of the huge gap between himself and this immortal, Ji Lin's heart, which had originally been trying to resist, suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley.
She knew very well:
Even if the other party wants to eat him, according to the teachings of the high priest, it is also a great fate.
If sacrificing one person could bring good weather and harvest to the clan for several years, Ji Lin felt that it was not impossible.
Especially after experiencing the invasion of the Nine Netherworld monsters, the Youxiong family was basically penniless and had to live from hand to mouth.
At this time, if his clan had to go through all kinds of natural disasters and hardships, Ji Lin simply couldn't imagine such a horrific scene.
"So, the stigmata actually represent excellent sacrifices?"
"It is precisely because I bear the Holy Mark that this Immortal agreed to help me?"
"Yes, according to my father, immortals never help mortals without a reason."
"He must have taken a fancy to me and even wanted to eat me, so he was willing to help."
With an uneasy look on his face, Ji Lin let Ming Yue look at him from behind, and it seemed as if he suddenly understood.
She knew that there was no such kind-hearted immortal in the world!
According to records, immortals in ancient times were no different from monsters, and they did things according to their personal preferences.
The saying "When gods fight, mortals suffer" is the secret of survival passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors.
When you meet an immortal, just turn around and leave. This is the little trick that mortals can use to survive!
While Ji Lin's thoughts were getting more and more devious, Ming Yue finally confirmed the condition of her holy mark.
Looking at his godsister who had been waiting for a long time, he said calmly:
"Already checked."
"This isn't the second generation stigmata that Dr. Mebius improved."
"Looking at her condition, it's more like the natural stigmata that Mei once imagined."
"Simply put, this is not a product of our current world, but a creation of the future."
After saying that, Ming Yue was finally certain that he and Hua had arrived at the timeline before civilization was destroyed.
According to the original plot, after the Ruler of the End destroyed the previous civilization, he did not personally take action to completely wipe out the last humans.
From then on, the surviving fire moths began to prepare various types of fire plans for future generations.
Among them, the sisters Hua and Danzhu Cangxuan woke up 50,000 years after the previous civilization and began to guide mankind.
As for this natural stigma, it was the result of meticulous genetic engineering by Mei before the destruction of the previous civilization.
It is equivalent to an important thing that helps the new humans survive the barbaric period.
After listening, Hua seemed to understand but not quite, but Ji Lin seemed to be listening to a foreign language——
She knew every word Ming Yue said, but when they were put together, she found it completely difficult to understand.
Now, she has to sigh: it turns out that her knowledge reserves are so narrow.
No wonder my father said that people must read more, otherwise even if they pick up the inheritance left by immortals, they will not be able to understand it at all.
After Ming Yue finished speaking, Ji Lin could no longer hold back and finally asked him about his own arrangements:
"Sir, so you don't plan to eat me anymore?"
As soon as she said this, Ming Yue and Hua looked at each other and fell into silence.
After a moment, frightened by Ji Lin's bold idea, Hua quickly helped his brother to dispel the rumor:
"Where did you hear this rumor?"
"When has Brother Yue ever eaten anyone?"
"It just doesn't make sense."
Ji Lin did not take the female fairy's complaint seriously at all.
The reason is also very simple——
Her attention was completely drawn to the sentence "never eat people".
After realizing that these two immortals were not the terrifying brother and sister who would eat people, Ji Lin was almost overjoyed:
"It turned out to be a false alarm."
"Then please forgive my rudeness, Immortal."
"Ji Lin is just frightened, his words should not be taken seriously."
Seeing Ji Lin's silly smile, Ming Yue didn't bother with him.
From the other party's sudden relaxed posture, he could tell that Ji Lin was really frightened before.
Fortunately, this guy is careless, otherwise, if he were a more timid person, he would have fainted from fright.
"You can do whatever you want. I have no objection."
After comforting the other party, Ming Yue then focused on another matter.
Since Ji Lin can awaken the natural holy marks and the divine key called Xuanyuan Sword, does that mean that she is Ji Xuanyuan of this world?
According to the original plot line, after Ji Xuanyuan awakened, he led humans to fight north and south, driving the Nine Netherworld monsters out of the land of China.
Afterwards, because Jingwei (Hua's pseudonym) was busy fighting Honkai beasts in other areas and could not get away, Ji Xuanyuan and sisters Danzhu Cangxuan went to the Jiuyou area in the deep sea together to fight the Judgment-level Honkai beast: Chiyou.
In the end, at the cost of the three people's lives, Chi You was sealed for thousands of years.
But these are all later stories. What Mingyue is really concerned about is:
"Hua, maybe you will meet someone who surprises you."
140 Leisure time for three people
A few days later, outside the Youxiong clan’s headquarters, Ming Yue’s temporary residence had become Ji Lin’s happy house.
In just three days, Ji Lin learned how to use the immortal artifacts, including but not limited to:
The art of making ice (refrigerator), the three true fires (gas stove), the art of water mirror (projection screen for showing movies), etc.
In addition, thanks to his quirky and flexible personality, Ji Lin quickly established good relationships with the other two.
"Sir, what are we eating today?"
Ji Lin was lying on the sofa quite comfortably, wearing a tight-fitting long skirt, and her little feet were shaking from time to time:
"The village has been eating grilled fish for so long, I'm almost sick of it."
"My father also said that if I dared to waste food, he would boil the fish bones into soup and make me drink the whole bowl."
"How is this possible?"
Seeing Hua fishing outside the house, Ji Lin had no choice but to continue harassing Ming Yue:
"Sir, I heard from the high priest that there is a snowy mountain in the far north that never melts year-round."
"And at the end of the world, there is a strange well that spontaneously combusts without any fire."
"I see that this small room is warmer than the outside world. Could it be that you took the cold jade from Tianshan Mountain and the warm jade from the bottom of the well to adjust the temperature?"
Looking up, he saw Ji Lin rolling around on the sofa out of boredom. Ming Yue was no longer surprised by this talkative girl.
On the first day in the cabin, Ji Lin was very reserved. She even refused the ice cola that Hua gave her, and claimed that she was not worthy of enjoying the things of immortals.
On the second day of arriving at the cabin, Ji Lin relaxed a little and learned to search for food in the refrigerator just like Xilin.
On the third day since coming to the cabin, which was today, Ji Lin no longer treated him as an outsider and never stopped talking.
Looking at Ji Lin's white and tender legs under her skirt, Ming Yue was actually a little surprised:
According to her activeness, shouldn't she get a bronze SSR skin like her father Shaoding?
But considering the ancestral martial arts that Shaoding had shown him before, Ming Yue felt that perhaps this was the miracle that could be brought about by the collapse.
It was precisely because of the conversation with Shaoding that Ming Yue chose to stay for a few more days, waiting to attend the gathering mentioned by the patriarch.
According to the other party, the third and ninth days of every month are the days when the major clans conduct transactions.
In addition to the people of the tribe, there are often immortals who come to the market to barter.
Normally, the immortals hide in the clouds and it is difficult to see them.
But if it is a market day, you can still run into one or two immortals coming down the mountain to shop.
"Sir, why can we see the sun, moon, and stars in this tiny space?"
Bored, Ji Lin looked at the square tablet on the computer desk and asked random questions.
After getting familiar with Ming Yue's personality, she can now be said to have made some progress, jumping wildly back and forth on the edge of being annoying and clingy.
Curiosity is essential for humans to explore the unknown, and Ji Lin is full of curiosity about everything about Ming Yue and Hua.
She really wanted to know what the difference was between this immortal who had saved her and defeated the monster so easily and ordinary people.
He can speak, and I can speak too, although the other person's words are sometimes too profound to understand.
He could eat, and she could eat too, although the food this immortal ate was all delicious delicacies she had never seen before.
He would be lazy, and I would be lazy too, although I was only able to sneak out of the village thanks to the help of this immortal.
After asking and answering three questions in his heart, Ji Lin suddenly felt:
It seems that this immortal is not much different from himself, and what he does seems to be similar to that of ordinary people.
In other words, could it be that I also have the qualities of an immortal?
"Shangxian, Ji Lin..."
Facing Ji Lin's tireless questioning, Ming Yue turned around and stopped what he was doing.
Regarding this curious baby, he thought about it and decided to take the initiative to attack him so that Ji Lin would not keep pestering him.
Even Hua, who has always been calm, couldn't stand Ji Lin's talkativeness and ran out to fish. It was quite difficult for him to endure until now.
"Ji Lin, have you ever heard of Pangu creating the universe?"
Putting out the bait, Ming Yue just waited for Ji Lin to take the bait.
In such ancient times, few people dared to disrespect ghosts and gods. Anyway, he had been to the Youxiong clan’s residence. In addition to the totem, there was also a stone statue of an immortal who enjoyed offerings day and night.
Therefore, Ming Yue did not believe that Ji Lin had no understanding of mythological stories.
Then, things happened as Mingyue expected:
"Sir, do you know that great god?"
With his eyes shining, Ji Lin stared straight at Ming Yue, trying to find the answer from the other's expression.
