After entering the north, they chose the route farthest from the Qi family's residence, not because they were afraid of the Qi family, but because they did not want to encounter the Qi family and cause unnecessary trouble.

However, the north is always cold and there are large areas of precipitous barren land. The places with cities have been selected for tens of millions of years to be the most suitable for human habitation. Therefore, the route from the junction of the central and north to the Qi family's residence has the worst climate.

Okay, the road is the best, but other places are mostly barren, with bad mountains and rivers, turbid air and frozen soil. This is the road they took this time.

It was autumn and it was not that cold yet. A thin coat was enough. However, they mistakenly entered a land full of turbid air. The gray air not only made visibility very low, but also made it difficult to breathe and made people dizzy and swollen. Most people

All have some symptoms of mild poisoning.

"How long will it take to get out of this area?" Sisi lay on top of Yinchuan and said wilfully.

Yinchuan said: "It's hard to tell the direction in the turbid air. If we go correctly, we will pass by a lake soon, and the turbid air will dissipate when we reach the lake.

"After crossing the lake, how far is it from Zhongshan?"

"There are still more than three thousand miles."

"It's so far..." Jiang Chaoge sighed.

They walked from daylight to nearly dusk when Yinchuan suddenly stopped and said "Huh".

Zhi Xuan said: "What's wrong?"

Yinchuan lowered his head and brushed the ground with his paws: "Is this... Meijiang?"

"Meijiang?"

"It's the lake I mentioned." Yinchuan said, "It's actually frozen."

Everyone looked down at their feet. The air was turbid and Yinchuan was high above the ground. They could only see the gray mist lingering at the feet of Yinchuan.

Yinchuan took a deep breath and blew it hard onto the ground. The mist and the thin snow on the ground were blown away at the same time. As expected, large ice crystals appeared on the ground.

"It's really a lake."

Yinchuan couldn't believe it: "For thousands of years, Meijiang has not frozen in extreme cold. Now it's only autumn, how can it freeze?"

Zhi Xuan said: "Maybe it's just frozen. Let's go forward. I feel that the turbid air here is not as strong as when I came here."

"Indeed, the turbid air should have disappeared when it reached Meijiang." Yinchuan continued to walk forward, and the turbid air became increasingly thinner.

Yinchuan's wings flapped unconsciously, blowing up a thin layer of snow and turbid air. Jiang Chaoge happened to look on the ice and suddenly saw a ferocious human face under the ice!

Jiang Chaoge sat up straight in shock. The man's face had his eyes and mouth wide open, and his face was completely preserved. He didn't know what he had experienced during his lifetime, and his eyes were filled with boundless fear and despair.

Zhi Xuan said: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chaoge calmed down his frightened heart: "There is someone under the ice."

Yinchuan quickly brushed away the snow with his paws, and suddenly, frozen corpses appeared in front of everyone, including those of humans and some of strange animals.

Yinchuan ran a few steps forward, and the turbid air almost dissipated, and the whole picture of Meijiang appeared in front of his eyes. It was a huge lake that could not be seen to the end. The ice was as white and clear as the purest crystal. Because of this, the ice

There was something clearly visible under the layer. Now, they saw countless corpses stretching for several kilometers...

Yun Xi trembled: "Why..."

Zhi Xuandao: "These people are wearing the clothes of heavenly soldiers."

"Heavenly soldiers?"

Yinchuan nodded and said solemnly: "They were the heavenly soldiers who attacked us back then. I don't know why they were buried in this lake. Maybe they were killed by burning smoke."

Zhi Xuan snorted: "You deserve it. You know you are no match for us, but you still have to come down one after another to die."

Yinchuan sighed: "The heavenly soldiers can't help themselves."

"Then the witch ancestor couldn't help himself?" Zhi Xuan said loudly, "I can't help myself even if I kill you?! They have become the lackeys of the gods and the traitors of the alien beasts!"

Yinchuan lowered his head and looked at the heavenly soldiers, and slowly shook his head: "That's not the case."

Zhi Xuan said angrily: "What do you mean 'it's not so'! You were killed by those traitors and you still have to defend them?"

Yinchuan turned his head and looked at Zhixuan with his ice-blue eyes: "Zhixuan, the relationship between us and the witch ancestor is not just about killing and being killed."

"Then what else."

"We are spiritual beasts born from heaven and earth, and the witch ancestors are just like us."

"That's why they are the traitors!"

"Have you ever thought about why they changed from strange beasts to gods?"

"Either you are weak and incompetent and surrender to the gods, or you are greedy for the pleasures of the heavenly palace."

"No." Yinchuan shook his head again, "I once asked Di Jiang, but he didn't remember how he became a god at all. All the witch ancestors didn't know. They judged it based on their true form. After all, their true identity was unknown.

Most of their bodies are hideous and ugly beasts, completely different from all the gods."

Zhi Xuan frowned and said, "What does this mean?"

"It means that they have lost a long period of memory, the memory of when they were alien beasts."

Jiang Chaoge said: "Could it be that he lived too long..." After he finished speaking, he felt that this reason was untenable. Even if his life span was longer, how could it be possible that the twelve witch ancestors had collective amnesia and could not remember anything at all?

stand up.

"Something must have happened to their memories. No one knows when they were born or when they became gods. They want to find the lost memory, but they don't know where to start."

"Did Di Jiang tell you all this?" Zhi Xuan said coldly, "What if he lied to you?"

Yinchuan was silent for a moment: "He won't lie to me."

"I don't believe that even if they really lose their memory and see their true form, they should know that they are alien beasts, so why should they continue to be loyal to the Jade Emperor!"

"If they have been loyal to the Jade Emperor since they can remember, they will think that they should be loyal to the Jade Emperor."

"Yinchuan, what on earth do you want to say!" Zhi Xuan was angry.

Yinchuan sighed: "It was because Li Yu lost his spiritual wisdom and lost his memory that it reminded me of the past."

"When you think about the past, you just keep making excuses for those traitors?"

"I'm not trying to quibble..."

"You are sophistry!" Zhi Xuan was furious, "You are on good terms with Di Jiang, you don't even care if he kills you, and you frequently make excuses for him, but I will not be as stupid and useless as you. If one day I see

When Gonggong reincarnates, he will be cut into thousands of pieces, his body and spirit will be destroyed, and he will never be reincarnated!"

Yinchuan hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed softly.

Zhi Xuan snorted heavily, his expression extremely ugly.

Jiang Chaoge held his hand, rubbed his palm with his fingertips, and comforted him silently.

Zhi Xuan put his other hand on his and tightened it gently.

Yinchuan stopped talking and walked forward. Everyone looked at the frozen corpse at their feet and remained speechless all the way.

After sunset, they set up camp and rested. Jiang Chaoge watched as he sat drinking in the river meditatively, rubbed the cup of hot water, hesitated for a moment, and stood up.

Zhi Xuan grabbed the hem of his clothes and looked up at him.

Jiang Chaoge said: "I have some questions for Yinchuan."

Zhi Xuan frowned, thought for a while, and let go: "Go."

Jiang Chaoge walked to Yinchuan and sat down.

Yinchuan glanced at him lightly.

"Sir Yinchuan, after thinking about what you said today, I have some questions."

"Please say."

"Since the ancestors of the witches were also alien beasts, they should also have the soul of spiritual wisdom. Could the loss of a memory be related to the soul of spiritual wisdom?"

"I have also thought about this possibility, but they are not spirit beasts, but alive."

Jiang Chaoge nodded, "If anyone has the ability to erase their memories, I'm afraid it must be the gods. Why do the gods do this? Control them? If this can control them, why should they kill you instead of killing you?

Also become a witch ancestor?"

"I can't figure this out either." Yinchuan muttered, "Chao Ge, have you ever thought about what a strange beast is?"

Jiang Chaoge was stunned: "This...if according to the terms of my world, alien beasts are a kind of living things, humans are living things, pigs and dogs are living things, there are millions of kinds of living things in the world, and strange beasts are only one type of living things.

kind."

"Are there any immortal creatures in your world?"

Jiang Chaoge shook his head: "Immortal creatures only exist in legends."

"You once said that the gods and beasts in this world are all myths and legends from your world. You have records in ancient books, but no one believes these are true. They all think they are fabricated by the ancients."

Jiang Chaoge nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't know until I came to this world that those legends were once true, but why did the gods and beasts completely disappear in my world? Yunxi and I discussed this world and

My world is so similar, it's like one world is divided into two, one world has strange beasts, the other world doesn't, and the evolution has been different since then."

"The ancient books of your world clearly record us, which means that the two worlds must have been separated after we appeared."

"Yes, but when and why were the two worlds separated?" Jiang Chaoge slowly shook his head, "There are too many unsolved mysteries."

"In your world, there are no immortal beasts. This means that a world can be without alien beasts. I have spent thousands of years thinking about what alien beasts are and what I am. I think, according to your
