Lin Fan and the other two stared at the ugly woman without blinking.
Although Nüchou is not as famous as Nüwa, they are both from the female generation and are both powerful ancient people. Although they are only great witches, judging from the books, they are powerful enough.
The resurrection of an ancient ancestor, wouldn't that be like a baby dinosaur emerging from a fossilized dinosaur egg? It's simply too rare.
And this person seems to be a selfless person.
Didn’t you read in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that it said that she responded to the people’s request and tried to subdue the ten suns?
Even though he was killed in the end...but at least such a person shouldn't be a bad person, right?
Compared to Lin Fan's assumption, Sister Xu and John Woo did not dare to relax at all.
Shan Hai Jing is not a history book, and no one can tell how much truth and how much falsehood therein are.
Not to mention whether the ugly woman is really as selfless as described in the book, even if she is, there is no guarantee that she will remain the same after thousands of years.
They had previously deduced that the ugly woman had been sealed here, but did she harbor resentment? Did she harbor any resentment? No one knew what these feelings had become after thousands of years.
The ugly woman heard what Wu Yusen said to Lin Fan. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, as if mocking him, but it quickly disappeared. She ordered, "Tell me more."
The hoarse voice was filled with an indescribable power, which made people want to reveal the names of all their ancestors for eighteen generations.
John Woo and Sister Xu looked at each other, and repeated loudly the content about the ugly woman in "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and also specifically explained what "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was.
"Ancient times? How long ago was it?" The ugly woman lowered her eyes and asked after a long time after listening.
"About 4,160 years," Sister Xu continued. "Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, that's a long time."
Another silence.
The clown girl didn't say anything, and the trio didn't dare to say anything either.
"Where is Kuafu now?" The ugly woman raised her eyelids and looked over with a sharp gaze.
"Kuafu died chasing the sun." Sister Xu quickly lowered her head to avoid the question, and replied after a moment of pause.
Kuafu is both famous and unfamous. The most popular idiom about him is "Kuafu chasing the sun." Even children know that he died of thirst while chasing the sun.
But no matter how unknown she is, she is still much more famous than an ugly woman.
"Dead?" The ugly woman narrowed her eyes slightly, and the two words seemed to come out from between her teeth, revealing a cold and eerie tone.
"Yes, according to legend, he is dead." Sister Xu didn't understand why, but she still told the story of Kuafu chasing the sun.
After that, there was no response for a long time.
"Who governs the world now?" the ugly woman asked calmly, lowering her eyelids again.
Who? Old man! But the ugly woman definitely doesn't know him. After thinking about it, she must be asking about the descendants of someone in ancient times.
Even the knowledgeable Sister Xu was stunned. She glanced at the completely bewildered Wu and Lin, and quickly composed herself. "Your Majesty, over the past few thousand years, the world has undergone tremendous changes. Today, the world is divided into many countries, each governed by a different set of people. I wonder which one you wish to ask about?"
"Madam?" The clown was slightly confused. "Who?"
"It's a respectful title for you," Sister Xu explained hurriedly. "We're really nervous and don't know how to address you properly. To show our respect, we can only use the honorific title of Nuwa. If you feel it's inappropriate, please tell me how to address you."
"Compared to the goddess Nuwa..." The ugly woman raised her eyes and sighed.
Since she neither agreed nor disagreed, Sister Xu took it as her tacit consent.
"Yes." Sister Xu replied respectfully, "Madam, whose news do you want to know?"
"My impression is that Yan and Huang are competing, but I don't know who will win in the end." Seeing that the person who spoke didn't seem to understand, the ugly woman added, "Yan and Huang are both sons of Shaodian. Is there no record of this in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
Sister Xu’s brain was working rapidly.
She was quite familiar with these strange stories and legends, but she didn't remember everything clearly.
It was Wu Yusen who first remembered and reminded him, "Shaodian, the legendary son of Fuxi and Nuwa."
Only then did Sister Xu realize that the ugly woman was asking about Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor.
"If the Empress is asking about Yandi and Huangdi, it was Huangdi who won the final ruling power. However, the two ancestral gods have long been lost in the passage of time. Their bloodline has been passed down from generation to generation, and now we all call ourselves the descendants of Yan and Huang, and consider ourselves to be the offspring of Yan and Huang."
The ugly woman frowned slightly, feeling that this question-and-answer style of speaking was a bit tiring.
Although everyone was curious about why the ugly woman was here, no one dared to touch this sensitive spot.
The situation seems to be okay now, but we must keep it up.
Seeing that her attitude was always quite friendly and seemed to be able to communicate, Sister Xu thought that the domain might have been revealed by her unintentionally, and perhaps she could directly explain it to let the female clown be relieved, so she simply took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"My Lady, the three of us are here..."
She lowered her head and spoke without paying attention, but Lin Fan saw at a glance that something black, like a vine, was extending from the water and quickly moving towards Sister Xu.
Lin Fan pushed her away with one hand, stood in front of her, and held the sword with his backhand, pointing the sword forward, ready to attack.
Sister Xu was interrupted while she was talking. She was stunned for a moment, then reacted and took out a defensive talisman.
The moment the defense took effect, the vines arrived.
Blocked by the protective shield, its momentum did not slow down, and it slid upwards along the transparent shield for a distance before stopping at a height of one meter.
At this time, Lin Fan also saw clearly that these black vine-like things were actually hair.
Then he looked along the hair into the shallow water, and it extended to the ugly woman on the other side.
This is the ugly woman's hair.
But for some unknown reason, she suddenly launched an attack.
Sister Xu stood behind Lin Fan, one hand on her shoulder, her eyes peering over her shoulder, her expression frighteningly cold. "Madam, what are you doing..."
The ugly woman's expression remained calm, without any anger at having her attack blocked, nor any annoyance or anything else.
She continued to smooth her long hair slowly, then slowly turned her gaze towards the three people. "Too slow, I want to see your brain."
Lin Fan just thought she was the mother of the earth, but now he wanted to slap her in the face.
This person said the most frightening words with the calmest expression, gentle voice, and soothing tone.
What does "look at your brain" mean?
Can the brain just look at anything?
From what the ugly woman said, it's not just about looking around with your eyes.
I watched the hair reach out silently... You know, in horror movies, if you get entangled by hair like this, there is usually no good outcome.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what do you think when you look at my brain? What do you want to do with your hair?" Sister Xu unconsciously exerted some force on Lin Fan's shoulders.
If Lin Fan hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been entangled in her hair.
"Of course I put my hand in and take a look." The ugly woman answered gently, but no one thought she was a lovable god anymore.
"Then if I let your hair reach into my brain to investigate, will I still be intact in the end, no different from now?" Sister Xu ignored Wu Yusen's obstruction and continued to ask.
"No, you will die."
The ugly woman calmly said the cruelest words.
Only then did Lin Fan realize that her amber eyes with a green glow were so cold, and she looked at them as if they were no different from ants.
Who said that the ugly woman was a good deity who was sacrificed for others?
It's a joke.
