648 The Descendants of the Ancient King (2/2)
”Are you saying that the people from the villages can enter the Dark Abyss?”
”Is that true? Are you sure about that?”
”How can you be sure of that?” Zhu Meng quickly went forward with a stern look.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
”The person who gave me the information is very reliable. It's true that we can't verify the information whether the people from the villages are safe to enter the Dark Abyss, but we have to try,” said the mysterious man grimly.
Fang Gu fell silent when he suddenly became everyone's hope. He finally spoke with a not so confident voice, ”Our villages strictly follow our ancestors' teachings. Everyone from the villages knows about it, but the chiefs are also told to hold on to some secret information. It does mention that we are protected by the Gods, that even if we fell into the kingdom of death, we will still be treated as the most honorable guests. I can't tell if it's referring to the Dark Abyss.”
The villages had existed for thousands of years. It was a miracle that they were still holding onto their traditions. It was expected that the things passed down generations after generations would not be perfectly preserved. In the case of Bo City, without the Underground Holy Spring and the people protecting it, no one would even know that Bo City was related to the villages, nor would they realize that they were the descendants of the Ancient King. People would only refer to themselves as children of the Yellow Emperor. It was impressive if anyone actually passed on their bloodline for a few hundred years.
As for two thousand years, it was almost impossible to say for sure!
”But, if you really want me to go down into the Dark Abyss, I can try. I'm already a sinner that has murdered my own tribe. I'm willing to sacrifice my life if it can give the millions of people in this city a chance,” said Fang Gu.
”I'm glad to hear that,” said Han Ji.
”President, I'll go too,” said Su Xiaoluo.
Su Xiaoluo was also from the villages. If Fang Gu could enter the Dark Abyss safely, she would be safe too.
”The Dark Abyss is far from a safe place, you should just stay in the inner city,” Fang Gu shook his head.
”Fang Gu, can I ask you something?” asked Zhang Xiaohou.
”Go ahead,” said Fang Gu.
”The Ash Plum I saw outside of the houses when I was at the Sunny Goat Village...” Zhang Xiaohou did not finish his sentence.
”The Ash Plum is actually one of our village's traditions. It means that someone in the household has passed away,” answered Fang Gu calmly.
”Every house has it, does that mean the whole village is dead?” asked Zhang Xiaohou.
”Mm, what you saw were living dead. I just wanted them to make it back to the city and stay there for seven days, before I will cremate them together with the houses. You Battlemages just happened to visit the village during that time… I had no choice but to control the living dead and interact with you, asking you to leave the village as soon as possible. The Ash Plum in front of every house does mean that they were all dead. So you already noticed that?” replied Fang Gu.
”I remember when my grandfather passed away, my family placed it in front of the house, so I felt it was familiar when I was at your village,” said Zhang Xiaohou.
”So, you think you too have the lineage of the villages, and you too want to go to the Dark Abyss?” said Fang Gu.
Zhang Xiaohou said with a nod, ”If you can go down there, I should be able to go too. Since it's an imperial tomb, it's going to be dangerous in there still. We can look after one another.”
”What if you aren't one of them?” blurted out Zhou Ming.
