Chapter 224 Tong Luo's Gong
Li Meng said without hesitation, "Okay, you go first!"
Tong Luo didn't hesitate at all. He nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I have kept my secret in my heart for most of my life. Today I finally have the chance to tell it out."
Li Meng was extremely surprised and asked, "Tong Luo, your secret, doesn't the Great Elder of Longcheng know it?"
Tong Luo glanced at Li Meng and said, "The Great Elder is guarding a tomb, guarding a pile of dry bones that have been buried underground for thousands of years. Who knows if he is alive or dead?
He is not interested in my secrets at all."
"Guarding the graves?"
Li Meng felt a little strange.
Before Li Meng opened her mouth to ask, Tong Luo waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about him first. Let me tell you about me first!"
Li Meng nodded quickly and said, "I'm listening."
“I originally came from a sword-making family in Zhongzhou. Since I was young, I have been a genius and was trained by my family.
When I grew up, I had become a well-known senior swordsman in the local area.
In order to break through the barrier of the great swordsman, I began to go out and explore, to understand the way of heaven.
For my safety, my father personally took me into the ancestral temple and retrieved an ancestral bronze gong for me to use for self-defense.
That bronze gong is a life-saving item passed down from my ancestors. It is said that as long as you strike the gong, you can shock the ghosts and gods.
I didn't believe it at first, but in an emergency situation, I was in a desperate situation and had no choice but to ring the gong.
When the gong sounded, the whole surroundings shook. Only then did I realize that the power of the gong was so strong!
It was at that time that a torn book fell out of the gong.
That is the Hunter's Notes."
Li Meng pointed to the Hunter's Notes on the table and asked, "Is this the book?"
Tong Luo smiled and shook his head, "No, this book was compiled by selecting unrecognizable divine texts from the Hunter's Notes.
It is specially used to test the chosen ones."
“Who compiled it?”
Li Meng asked immediately.
"Of course it's the Great Elder. Apart from him, who else has that skill?"
Tong Luo answered as a matter of course.
Li Meng asked curiously, "But why didn't the Great Elder show me this book?"
Tong Luo continued to shake his head and said, "Your strength is too low, you are not qualified to read this book."
Li Meng was even more confused, "Tong Luo, since I am not qualified, why did you let me watch it?"
Tong Luo smiled, "I'm not that pedantic grave keeper who never follows the rules.
I just want to find someone I can talk to and tell my deepest secrets to.”
Li Meng heard something illogical in this, so he asked, "Tong Luo, isn't the Hunter's Notes passed down from your ancestors? How did the Great Elder get it?"
Tong Luo replied, "What was hidden in the bronze gong was only a small part of the incomplete copy. The complete Hunter's Notes was collected by the gravekeeper of the Great Elder.
It was only after I became an elder that I was able to obtain the full version.”
Li Meng nodded and said to Tong Luo, "Tong Luo, keep talking. I'm listening."
Tong Luo continued, “In my tribe, there was once an old man who specialized in studying divine writings, so I also know some divine writings.
So, I started to study the torn "Hunter's Notes". The more I studied, the more shocked I was. I discovered a huge secret: my ancestors were like gods and came here from another world.
In that world, there are iron bird airplanes that can fly in the sky without the help of magic, and steel ships that can sail in the ocean without sails. . . . "
Li Meng was completely shocked by Tong Luo's words. If what Tong Luo said was all lies, how did he know about airplanes and ships?
If what Tong Luo said was all true, it would be really scary.
Li Meng is not the only Earthling who has traveled to the Shenzhou continent.
Could it be that all those chosen ones are people from Earth who traveled through time?
However, there are many doubts that cannot be explained here.
The gods built the Shenzhou continent and divided it into nine states, which was obviously based on the division of the nine states by Yu the Great in ancient China.
However, China has only a history of 5,000 years. But the Shenzhou continent has already gone through hundreds of millions of years. How come?
Li Meng's mind was in a mess.
Tong Luo obviously noticed Li Meng's condition and asked, "Li Meng, what's wrong with you?"
Li Meng waved her hands and said, "Nothing, I just can't figure out some things."
Tong Luo laughed loudly and said, "Li Meng, it's right that you can't figure it out. If you can figure out everything, then you'd be a god."
Li Meng didn't want to continue this topic with Tong Luo, so she asked, "Tong Luo, why did you come here?"
Tong Luo sighed and said, "It was the guidance of that bronze gong that brought me to this dragon tomb."
"Dragon Tomb?"
Li Meng became interested in this new term.
“Yes, this Dragon City is actually a tomb, but buried underground are the corpses of dragons and the secrets of the gods of past generations.
It is said that gods and dragons are of the same clan and are called descendants of dragons.
In this case, you and I should be considered to be of the same race. I am also half a descendant of the dragon."
After hearing what Tong Luo said, Li Meng believed that Tong Luo was not lying to her.
Without these experiences, he would not have been able to make up such a perfect lie.
“After many battles, I suddenly discovered a feature of the bronze gong: it can absorb the enemy’s blood to enhance its own defense.
After absorbing blood several times, some strange patterns suddenly appeared on the surface of the gong, which looked very much like a map.
I think this should be a treasure map.
It was our ancestor who tampered with the gong so that his descendants could find the treasure by following the instructions on the map.
So, while I was gaining experience, I followed the route on the map and came to Youzhou, where I found the Great Snow Mountain.
During this period, I have carefully studied the "Hunter's Notes" and obtained many shocking inside information.
Moreover, with the help of the gong, my strength continued to improve, and at that time I had few rivals.
By chance, I entered Dragon City, changed my name, and became a member of the Dragon City Guard.
In the repeated battles with monsters, I was upgraded step by step from a centurion to a centurion and a thousand-man captain.
Later, I followed the map on the gong and came to the underground of Dragon City, entered the Dragon Tomb, and was captured by the gravekeeper of the Great Elder.
Under his coercion and inducement, I became the sixth elder of Longcheng.
It was also at that time that I got the complete copy of "Hunter's Notes".
After studying Hunter's Notes, I invented a lot of things that are far beyond this world.
In order not to attract the attention of the gods, many things have been hidden. "
