404 Because our lives are short

Mo Zhiyu lowered his head and said, "Your analogy is really creepy." ”

Cheng Qixue laughed and said, "Besides that girl, are you anything else afraid?" These days, you can rest in the courtyard, and before the people from Chang'an arrive, you can go casually and easily. ”

"Looks like I'm going to cherish this short vacation." Mo Zhiyu smiled slightly.

After that, the two quickly returned to the east gate of Cloud City, and they also parted here, and Mo Zhiyu went directly to a separate courtyard of the Yun family according to the road pointed out by Cheng Qixue before, that is, the place where Yiyan rested.

There was already a servant waiting here, and the servant seemed to recognize Mo Zhiyu, and as soon as Mo Zhiyu came, he led the way for Mo Zhiyu to the courtyard where Yiyan lived.

When Mo Zhiyu was in the inn before, he thought that she would be very disappointed when he saw Yiyan's appearance, but when he came to the door of Yiyan's house, he found that the door was hidden, and when he opened the door, he saw this girl lying on the bed, lying in a pile of Yuanli crystals and smirking.

Then Mo Zhiyu and Yiyan looked at each other very awkwardly.

Mo Zhiyu immediately said "continue", and then he immediately closed the door; Yiyan reacted quickly, quickly cleaned up all the Yuanli spars on the bed, and then she pushed open the door casually and walked out.

Mo Zhiyu stood in the courtyard like this, and when he saw Yiyan walking out, he smiled and said, "I originally thought that they had promised you something extremely important. ”

Yiyan was stunned, thinking back to what happened in the inn today, and then said very casually: "I also thought that you had regained your free body, so there was no need to come to me again." ”

Mo Zhiyu smiled and said, "The facts just prove that even if we have come all the way from the Western Continent, we are still friends who don't know each other. ”

"Friends?" Yiyan's little face was puzzled.

"Friends, of course." Mo Zhiyu said sincerely, "If you were just a businessman who was bent on exchanging me for money, I might have dumped you in the Western Continent, but you can tolerate me so many times to be confident and try your best to protect me, which is enough for me to recognize you as a friend." ”

"Wait, you say, what do you mean by being inadequate?" Yiyan raised his eyebrows all of a sudden, and his face, which was still a little happy, was instantly filled with anger, "Can't you talk well?" ”

"Okay, okay, it's that I can't speak." Mo Zhiyu hurriedly waved his hand, and then said, "I sincerely thank you for digging me out of the Western Continent, so I also sincerely want to help you, what exactly did they promise you?" ”

"They only promised me a million taels of power crystals," Yiyan shrugged helplessly, "The rest is just that I take it for granted." ”

"But obviously, no matter how you calculate it, going to the Western Continent is full of dangers, and one million taels of spars shouldn't be enough for you to take my order." "Tell me, what do you think they can give you?" Maybe I can help you. ”

"Except for Mr. Yunda, there is no one in this world who can help me?" Yiyan shook his head, and then looked at Mo Zhiyu calmly, "Even if you have an affair with Mr. Yunda, you can't help me." ”

Mo Zhiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, tilted the corners of his mouth, and then smiled confidently: "If you don't say it, how do you know that I can't help you?" ”

"Why are you so curious?" Yiyan twisted his head and walked towards the stone table in the courtyard, "Then I'll satisfy your curiosity, it's not a secret anyway." ”

"It's a secret I don't know, anyway." Mo Zhiyu followed Yiyan over.

Yiyan sat down at the stone table and said slowly: "You already know that I am a member of the Nanlu Yijia, and you should also know that the Nanlu Yijia is the most famous tomb robber family, and has excavated many ancient ruins. But few people know why our family has become a family of tomb robbers. ”

Mo Zhiyu nodded slightly, motioning for Yiyan to continue.

"Because we have short lives." Yiyan said calmly, but her eyes darkened a little, and the hand on the table clenched slightly.

Mo Zhiyu thought for a moment, and said suspiciously: "You are sixty-five years old, is this still a short fortune?" ”

"A normal Yuanli monk can easily be hundreds or thousands of years old, and I have only lived for sixty-five years now, can this still be regarded as a long life?" Yiyan looked at Mo Zhiyu speechlessly, and the gloomy mood just now suddenly turned into a hot temper again.

Mo Zhiyu immediately spread his hands forward, and said very sincerely, "You continue." ”

"The average life expectancy in our family is only 200 years," Yiyan said, "Do you know what it means to be 200 years old?" It means that we can't stand up at all in this world where Yuan Li is respected, and in two hundred years, unless there is a talented genius, our family will not be able to appear at all Yuan Li Great Cultivator in the Chaos Realm.

Our family was originally in Nanlu Country, but because of this incident, we could only go to Nanlu and live under the protection of the Nanlu Holy Sect. In terms of origin, we can almost be compared with the Yun family of the eternal lineage, but the current situation is a real shame for our family, generation after generation, and it will never be erased. ”

Mo Zhiyu realized the seriousness of the matter, so he comforted Yiyan and said, "You are only sixty-five years old now, and you are already in the middle of the Chaos Realm, and this kind of growth is already superior among Yuanli monks. As you increase in your realm, your age limit will increase. ”

"That's the problem," Yiyan smiled wryly, paused, and then said, "No matter how hard our cultivation is, no matter how fast our realm improves, our age limit will be two hundred years at most." ”

"How so?" Mo Zhiyu asked in surprise, "The anti-heaven existence of the Yuanli Cultivator has broken the life limit of ordinary human races, how can you be an exception?" ”

"For we are a cursed people." Yiyan said.

"Cursed?" Mo Zhiyu was even more surprised, these two words are not uncommon, but Mo Zhiyu never thought that such a thing really existed in this world.

"I don't know where this curse came from, it is said that our ancestors angered the Protoss, so they will never live past two hundred years." Yiyan said wistfully,

"No matter how outrageous this legend is, we can only choose to believe it. So, my ancestors traveled all over the world and searched for all the relics of the Protoss that could be found in this world, and we thought that in this way we would find a solution to the curse, but we found nothing, but left a reputation in this world as a family of tomb robbers. ”
