MTL - After Being Kicked Out of a Wealthy Family, She Became a Fake Daughter and Shocked the World-Chapter 581 Because people’s hearts are unpredictable and man-made disasters are inevitable

Hearing this, Lin Wu became even more confused.

The city lord stopped teasing Lin Wu and asked more seriously, "How much do you know about the Chi family?"

Lin Wu clarified what he knew so far and said: "Thousands of years ago, foreign objects from the sky were still out there, causing great harm. Someone from the Chi family asked to go to the Thirteen Ridges, and the Lord of the Seven Ridges was moved to help solve the problem. Then there were five heroic young men in the human race They stepped forward and spent the entire clan's efforts to seal the alien objects into a city they specially selected and move them overseas. This is the underground city."

"The Chi family is one of these five clans. Later, something happened to the Chi family. During this period, clan members were sent to carry out engineering work in many places where there were unexplained extraterrestrial objects. The purpose should be to trap the extraterrestrial objects. Otherwise, the extraterrestrial objects would have spread long ago. It’s hurtful. It’s not like I haven’t heard of extraterrestrial objects in these years.”

"In addition, what I can confirm is that something happened to the Chi family more than ten years ago, which caused Lu Guichi and the others to escape from the underground city and resent the existence of the underground city."

Lin Wu thought back and said, "That's probably all I know."

The city lord listened quietly without any surprise and said: "What you said is right. But this is just the tip of the iceberg of everything..."

Suddenly, the city lord coughed violently and coughed up a few large mouthfuls of blood, mixed with bits of minced meat similar to organs. He seemed to be in pain, with thick cold sweat breaking out on his forehead and his body shaking a little.

 “City Lord?!” Lin Wu touched his body when he saw this.

 Fortunately, the back dagger pinned to the side of the leg is still there.

Lin Wu pulled it out, made a mark on his palm without hesitation, stepped forward and handed the hand that was constantly dripping with blood to his lips.

"My blood seems to speed up your recovery. I met the snake man in Danmaya before, and he recovered with my blood."

　　The smell of blood so close at hand made the dark vertical pupils of the city lord turn a little scarlet.

He glanced at Lin Wu and did not refuse. He opened his mouth and licked Lin Wu's palm with his snake-like tongue, and rolled her blood into his mouth.

 It feels a little itchy and stings a little.

Lin Wu curled his fingers and held still without moving.

 After a while, the wound on her palm healed, but the city lord was still in pain when he saw it.

 “City Lord?” Lin Wu was puzzled.

 That little blood is not enough for the city lord, right? Why let her wounds heal?

The city lord turned his head and said hoarsely: "I feel better, no need."

 “But you haven’t yet…”

“The lord of this city is already dying, so there is no need to waste any more money on me.”

 “Checkmate?”

Lin Wu was slightly startled, then said: "My blood can help you, City Lord, recover and heal yourself. Once you recover, City Lord, you won't die."

However, the city lord shook his head: "I have lived enough." His eyes returned to Lin Wu, "Besides, in this situation of the city lord, I have to use all your blood to barely be able to heal myself."

Lin Wu looked at the city lord's miserable injuries: "..."

 She immediately took her hand back and said, "Forget it then."

The city lord laughed helplessly and said, "You gave up quickly."

 He coughed a few more times and managed to suppress it, but his voice was obviously much weaker when he spoke.

“Let’s get down to business, this city lord will now tell you the entire history of the Chi family.”

Lin Wu went back and sat down to listen.

The city lord said coldly: "In the beginning, the Chi family were normal people, not strangers. What happened like this is considered a forced man-made disaster, not a natural disaster."

Lin Wu looked puzzled, "What man-made disaster could reach this level?"

 “This starts when the underground city appears.”

"In order to deal with the disaster of foreign objects from the sky, the Chi family requested to go to the Thirteen Ridges. At that time, it was the Lord of the Seven Ridges who held the magical weapon Kongtong Seal. The Kongtong Seal has a long history and can seal everything, so in the end it was It also became the seal that closed the underground city door.”

"At that time, all the five tribes were in the city to deal with the foreign objects from the sky, buying time for the Lord of Qiling and the head of the Chi family to close the door. However, there were too many foreign objects and they were too powerful. The five tribes had a hard time dealing with them, and nearly half of them were killed or injured. And Qiling The master and the current head of the family finally closed the door and had to face the chaos of foreign objects from the sky, but at that time they were exhausted and unable to resist."

"In the end, the Lord of the Seven Ridges made a decision. He gave the weapon spirit of the Kongtong Seal to the head of the Chi family for safekeeping. As long as the Kongtong Seal is here, the door to the dungeon will not be opened again, and the outside will be safe. . And he transformed himself into a forbidden technique, trapping most of the foreign objects in the sky in the center of the underground city and died."

"The remaining foreign objects from the sky will be dealt with by the head of the Chi family leading his clan members to fight to the death."

"So in the end, the underground city was divided into two parts. The central city is where foreign objects gather, and the outer part is a safe place where the Chi family and others can live. The door is closed, and they can't go out. They still have to guard Hold the gate and make sure the Kongtong Seal is clear."

 These are all the facts of what our ancestors did back then.

As Lin Wu listened, he suddenly remembered the three things Lu Guichi was collecting!

Mochuan said that the part south of Lingnan is one of the magical weapons of the Lord of the Seven Ridges.

So, what Lu Guichi and Jian Chonghe are looking for are the fragments of the Kongtong Seal!

The city lord just said that she could reunite Kongtong Yin. This is also in line with what Guan Chen told her that the things Lu Guichi collected would kill her!

“Why did the Kongtong Seal later become lost in the outside world?” Lin Wu asked immediately.

The city lord said: "Because it has been too long, and it has been so long that people's hearts cannot be consistent."

Lin Wu: "?"

The city lord said: "At first, those people had no objection to living in the underground city. They just wanted to protect the underground city and the outside world. So they did not leave the underground city and actively explored things suitable for their lives, such as food. Water sources, such as housing, such as social systems and various aspects of infrastructure, such as reasonable social order."

 As time went by, they really figured it out and formed small settlements.

 As time passed, the number of people increased.

I don’t know since when, many ethnic groups, large and small, have been divided. Everyone works in their own camp and strives for the interests they want. There are conflicts, confrontations, armed forces and darkness.

 Hundreds of years have passed, and a complete small social group has emerged there.

Since the Chi family initially made great efforts to close the underground city, and the Kongtong seal has been passed down from generation to generation in the Chi family, it is natural that they are led by the Chi family. The Chi family assumes the responsibility and obligation of maintaining a balanced order and guarding the alien objects and gates. . Up to this point, the underground city was peaceful and stable.

 The rift really appeared. I don’t know when it started, and people began to have the idea of ​​​​looking forward to the outside world.

They have stayed in the underground city for too long, and their ancestors are no longer here. The rest of them don’t know what the outside world is like. They only hear the words passed down from generation to generation about how prosperous and lively the outside world is.

The underground city has been desolate, empty and desolate for many years.

 Their lives are also single and boring, and they must always be alert to whether foreign objects from the sky will break through the forbidden magic circle and harm them, and their lives are always in danger.

Comparing the two, the world outside the city is too attractive to them.

 Fortunately, at this time, they still remembered the ancestral instructions of their ancestors—to guard the underground city.

 So no one has proposed to leave yet, and they can still hold on.

Several hundred years have passed, and everything has been peaceful. A foreign object from the sky escaped in time, and was quickly dealt with by the Chi family. It seemed that there was no danger anymore.

Most people take it for granted that nothing will happen again, and the extraterrestrial objects are well sealed.

Then if they leave the dungeon and go to the outside world...it won't be a big deal, right?

 Because of this, some people began to look for ways to leave the dungeon.

At that time, the Chi family was in control of the Kongtong Seal. They took responsibility and protected everyone. They did not let them know about the danger and did not tell them about the existence of the Kongtong Seal. Except for the key members of the Chi family, very few people know about Kongtong Seal.

"The Chi family actually knows that some people want to leave the underground city and are looking for a way. However, as long as the Kongtong Seal is still there, the door will be closed forever and no one can get out. So the Chi family doesn't care about the actions of those people. Chi I basically don’t show up for anything unless it’s important, and I won’t interfere too much with people,” the city lord said.

 In fact, more than just non-interference, the Chi family actually understands, because the Chi family also yearns for the mysterious outside world and hopes that one day they can completely solve the problem of extraterrestrial foreign objects, so that they can live a normal life.

 But they know that this is impossible, and foreign objects from the sky cannot be removed.

 So they must guard the door and fulfill their responsibilities.

 This is the consensus of the Chi family.

The city lord took a deep breath and said: "At that time, our Chi family really believed that every Chi family would have the consciousness of being in the underground city from birth to death forever. But the facts proved that we were wrong."

Lin Wu was startled for a moment, "What do you mean?"

The city lord said calmly: "The Chi family had become quite a large behemoth at that time. There were many people, and some good seedlings were regularly selected from ordinary people to join them and patrol together to prevent extraterrestrial objects from causing trouble."

"Over time, in order to facilitate management, the head of the Chi family and several elders divided everyone into two parts: the native clan and the foreign clan. The members of the clan are all elites selected through rigorous training. They are responsible for killing powerful extraterrestrial objects at critical moments. , the responsibility of sacrificing lives to stabilize the forbidden magic circle in the center of the city."

"But this clan will only choose the Chi family. Because the Chi family does not require other clans to die like them. If there is someone who is really outstanding, has a tough mind and is not afraid of death, they will make an exception and select them."

Lin Wu felt a little subtle in his heart.

How is this the same as the city lord asking the first eight Rakshasas to train their men rigorously and then send them to the ice prison?

“The Chi family can strictly control everyone who enters the clan, but they cannot control people’s hearts.”

The city lord's voice deepened, and his eyes became much colder.

He said: "At that time, more and more people were eager to leave the city. They searched for a way to no avail, and focused on the Chi family. They thought that the Chi family had controlled the underground city for many years and must also have a way to leave the city. They even felt that the Chi family was not capable of leaving the city. He will stay in the city like them, and he will definitely sneak out and leave them to suffer.”

"There are people who are trying their best to win over the Chi family. Both the native and foreign tribes are trying to contact each other, either through coercion or inducement, or playing emotional cards. It has really made several Chi family members want to leave the dungeon, and Kongtong Yin’s secret is leaked.”

"At the same time, the extraterrestrial objects in the center of the city were also in turmoil. Because the magic circle that trapped them had been weakened for too long, they took the opportunity to tear a hole and pour out. The Chi family was too tired to deal with it and could not care about the Kongtong Seal being leaked. "

The city lord paused, and the locked arm moved slightly, and he clenched his hand little by little, making a creaking sound of bones squeezing.

He said word for word: "At that time, other ethnic groups in the city united to deal with the Chi family, trying to get the Kongtong seal to leave the underground city."

"They don't even pay attention to the unusual chaos caused by foreign objects in the sky. They think that the Chi family can solve it as usual and there is nothing to be afraid of. And they just need to take the Kongtong seal when the Chi family can't take care of them."

"But the Kongtong Seal is related to the gate, which is more important than the foreign objects from the sky. As long as the gate is okay, even if the foreign objects from the sky come out, they will not break through the gate and go to the outside world. So the tribe had to send nearly half of the people back to protect the family head and resist such Multi-ethnic attack.”

 In the end, the Chi family tried their best, but could neither stop the foreign objects from pouring out of the sky nor preserve the Kongtong Seal.

 From the once huge ethnic group, only a few dozen seriously injured people remained.

Furthermore, the Kongtong Seal was destroyed by those ethnic groups.

 The door to the underground city had been closed for hundreds of years, and was opened artificially at that time.

Countless extraterrestrial objects wreaked havoc and devoured the city. While all lives were in ruins, many people also fled to the outside world.

The city lord's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, "Obviously it was their disobedience that caused the serious consequences. It was also they who scolded the Chi family for monopolizing the gate passage of the underground city for several years and did not give them a chance to live a better life. They hate the Chi family extremely."

"But in the end, they were the ones who cried bitterly and begged the remaining members of the Chi family to find a solution. They didn't want to die."

Lin Wu’s face froze.

 She asked: "Has the Chi family responded?"

The city lord was silent for a long time.

"Yes." The city lord closed his eyes, "Guarding the underground city has been the responsibility of the Chi family for generations. The remaining clan members at that time tried their best, but finally found only one way to save it."

"It is precisely because of this that the Chi family has since become a stranger who is neither human nor ghost, and will not survive half of it."

 The Chi family also longed to live a normal life outside.

 But after that, they could no longer even be ordinary people in the underground city and live an ordinary life.

 Sigh, this chapter is a bit sad to write.
