Chapter 422: The Secret Past
Eve was really taken aback by Tian Xian's understanding of the knowledge he taught and his ability to draw inferences, this knowledge was left by the gods once believed in by the Tianyan clan on the stone pillar, it was the only knowledge in this world, and it was something that completely surpassed the limits of human attempts.
It even seems ridiculous at all.
The boy in front of him had obviously not learned these things, and he seemed to be very excited and excited, and more importantly, he adapted to this knowledge with an astonishing speed and was able to draw inferences about certain problems, which was almost as incredible as a beast that ate raw meat and suddenly began to discuss the importance of the dinner knife.
Could it be that the evil eye is so knowledgeable?
Eve was puzzled, the Evil Eye can be regarded as a very famous one of the ancient creatures that have been famous until now, and the ferocity and tyranny are the deepest impressions it has left on this world, but it seems that I have not heard that the Evil Eye has profound knowledge.
You know, the more powerful the evil spirits, in fact, the more lonely and unheard of the guys, they were born from a certain extreme environment in the world, they were born with unsurpassed power, they never learned, they never worried about the things that the weak considered, they were the superior predators in the sky, and they were almost not close to knowledge......
Evil Eyes ...... Are you still diligent and studious?
The more Eve thought about it, the more strange it became, but she couldn't think of why Tianxian would be so easy to understand and apply this knowledge.
Ling felt even more strange on the side, most of the knowledge introduced by Eve Ling was only half-understood, and some of them were completely incomprehensible, not to mention how sullen he was about the situation that Tian Xian was interested in and could discuss with Eve.
"Do you really understand?" Ling endured for a long time, but still couldn't help but ask.
"A little. β
"Then why don't I understand at all?" Ling was extremely dissatisfied with Tianxian's perfunctory.
Tianxian looked at her, "You're a very smart girl!"
"I know. I don't need you to say nice things. β
"But I'm smarter. Tian Xian couldn't help but smile and said.
Ling almost jumped up and killed.
After some discussion, Eve had to admit that Tianxian was indeed much more powerful than expected, and some things could even inspire herself.
Although it was strange that Tian Xian could learn this knowledge so smoothly, Eve's doubts were soon completely replaced by joy. She smiled happily and said: "Little fool, I didn't expect you to have a smart brain, um~~ is a smart fool, in that case, do you want to learn from your sister during this time, and help your sister decipher all the carvings here?"
Tian Xian didn't agree, but asked, "Sister Eve seems to be pretty sure that we won't stay here for too long, when will Grandma Kong come?"
Eve shrugged her shoulders in distress, "The exact time is uncertain. However, it will not be more than a month, and when someone is stationed here, the patriarch will bring some daily necessities, about once a month. β
In a month's time, Tianxian has some bottom in his heart, and if he goes along with it, he can almost find what he needs in a month.
"Sister Eve, this tower is huge. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn much in a month, so I don't think it's better to study one item alone. β
Eve nodded. "It's true, there's too little time, so you can help me ......"
Tian Xian preemptively said: "On the border of the desert, I got a small piece of land, which is now under intense construction, so. I want to learn about the knowledge of constructing protective prohibitions, such as the two-layer prohibitions outside this Hangu Tower, in short, it's similar. β
Eve chuckled, "In that case, it just so happens that you want to activate the tower completely." You must also control all the prohibitions and enchantments first, which is really helpful. β
Tian Xian smiled, "That's the best." β
Eve was very happy, took Tian Xian and Ling back to the residence, and quickly found two rooms for Tian Xian and Ling to live in, originally wanted Tian Xian and Ling to live in one room, but was met with Ling hysterical opposition, and finally regretfully cleaned up another room, and then immediately ran to check the forbidden enchantment about this tower.
"Starting tomorrow, I'm going to work hard to help my sister work!" After saying that, Eve left excitedly.
As soon as Eve left, Ling appeared at the door of Tianxian's room, her face a little strange.
"What the hell are you paying attention to?"
Tian Xian was looking at the news brought back by Gollum, Vero and Zhuoma had already smoothed all the paths to the desert, those bandits and robbers could buy what they could buy, and those who couldn't buy were directly driven away, this road was completely under control.
Senna personally escorted some of the goods secretly transported from Hedel's house on the road and would soon reach the desert border, and the city construction on the desert border was on track.
The Sand King has been staying here lately, watching the thick vines grow in the desert, and she often caresses the demonized and docile mother vines with magical eyes, and the first large-scale artificial green space in the desert makes her feel like a dream.
Everything is going well, the only thing that worries Tianxian is that Gu Li has no news.
After arriving at the border of Gustas in Ash, she entered the Gustas Empire alone, and Ash returned the same way, which was the last time she was sure of her whereabouts.
Putting the note in his arms, Tian Xian looked at Ling who was leaning against the door, and smiled, "I'm just helping Sister Eve, what, don't you want me to do something for your mother? I'm an honest and good person." β
"You shouldn't be here to stay. Ling shook his head and said undoubtedly, "We have come here with all our hard work, definitely not to waste time here, and then be taken back by Grandma Kong, but you actually want to learn those strange knowledge here, I can only guess that you have another purpose." β
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Tianxian's mouth, "I do have a purpose, but I can't tell you yet, because you are the daughter of Sister Eve." β
"Don't call her sister in front of me. Ling Da frowned, "She does things strangely, doesn't mean that I am the same as her, do you still want to be my uncle?"
"There's no need to be so clear here, we're going to have our own opinions, it's not a problem at all. β
Ling snorted. His expression softened a lot, "So, what are you going to do to sue sΓΉ for your purpose, and I am her daughter, it doesn't seem that I can't sue me for a reason." β
Tian Xian looked at Ling a few times with his eyes, "You won't have any wariness against Sister Eve, and she is a little off the line." But I'm very smart, if you accidentally reveal my purpose, then I'll lose all my efforts. β
"What the hell are you trying to do? You'd better not be foolish at this time!"
Tianxian smiled slightly, "I just want to save people." β
"Saving people?"
"Yes, you see that Hanguta is empty, Sister Eve is lonely and lonely here, she will slowly grow old here, slowly grow gray hair, and no longer be young and beautiful. Gradually weakened, slowly dying...... And no one knows. β
Every time Tian Xian said a word, Ling's expression became a little gloomy.
"Look, you don't want to be like this...... "There seems to be something hidden in Tianxian's eyes, "I don't want to either, so I'm going to save her from here, but it's not just to take her away, you see." She's not going to leave here. β
Ling certainly understood that Eve could only be here now. This is not only the place where she is punished, but also the place where she must be responsible, this is almost a quid pro quo, Xue has returned to the Tianyan Clan, then she must leave.
"Are you sure you can save her?" Ling asked weakly.
"Half and half. Tian Xian thought carefully before answering. "But if it succeeds, the problem will be solved, and then you won't have to hide in the house anymore, you can go to the human continent and go to see the scenery with the snow. β
Ling Meng heard this. I couldn't help but be taken aback.
Tian Xian continued to describe the thoughts in his heart: "Xue is very wary of outsiders, and she doesn't have many friends until now, if you can, she must be very happy." β
Ling's expression moved slightly, shook his head and smiled: "Are you mistaken, Xue is the most hateful enemy in the world, her existence is the greatest pain in my life, she took away a qiΔ, I can only shrink in the room now, cover all the sunlight, hide in the dark to spend every day, only when the clouds are thick, I can only come out to breathe......"
Taking a deep breath, Ling laughed self-deprecatingly, "I think...... I'm like one of those gutter rats, unsightly and unpleasant. The reason why I still live in the clan is because my talent is not bad, the power of the ethereal spirit makes me strong, and in a few years, I will take on the responsibility of giving birth to children for other male clansmen, increasing the population of the clan, and passing on more excellent talents, hehe...... That's all I'm worth. β
Looking at Tianxian, Ling's eyes were full of provocation, "Eve seems to like you very much, and even said that she wants me to marry you, but unfortunately, I must eventually marry a Tianyan clan with some pure blood, my pure body must be dedicated to my first husband, I must be pious, humble, and make them feel valuable, if you want me, it seems that you can only use force......"
Tilting his head to look at Tianxian, Ling smiled at the corner of his mouth, "How is it?" Now I can't even drive the void spirit, this is a good opportunity, I don't think Eve will blame you." β
Tian Xian looked at Ling silently, and suddenly smiled, "I suddenly thought, if you were to choose between your clan and me, who would you choose?"
"My people. Ling replied without thinking.
"Why?" Tian Xian was a little puzzled, "Am I that annoying?"
"Because you love snow. Ling gritted her teeth lightly, "I will never forgive her for the rest of my life!"
Tian Xian scratched his head, "But I said I could cure your illness." β
"But can she give it back to me if she took it!?" Ling couldn't help but be furious, "Have you ever thought about what kind of pain it is to hide in a dark corner every day and get the sun to disappear, what kind of pain it is to hide in the cracks of this world, as if you shouldn't have it at all!?"
Ling opened his eyes, "What kind of pain is that feeling of being raised like a beast and only waiting to be slaughtered when the time comes!?"
Staring at Tian Xian with cold eyes, Ling gritted his teeth and said: "Now, she is trapped by the dream of the ethereal spirit, this is her luck, if she is awake and returns here, then...... Maybe she's dead now!"
Tian Xian didn't know what to say for a while, so he was silent for a while, and said softly: "Xue rarely mentions things in the far north, and when she talks about it occasionally, she always says it...... There is a younger sister who can't be relieved. β
"She's worried I'll live too long. will become her threat as today!" Ling sneered, "Her viciousness! You don't understand it at all! That kind of hypocrite who has no hostile appearance on the outside, when she shows a poisonous needle and stabs you, you know what pain is!"
The sky is silent.
As for what happened between Xue and Ling, Tianxian was completely confused. Ling's statement was very extreme, Xue would definitely not do such a thing, but she was conclusive, and it didn't seem like she was lying.
There must be something hidden in this.
This conversation, in the end, did not get any results, and Ling went away angrily, leaving only a helpless face.
The next day, after a limited breakfast, Tian Xian began to follow Eve around the tower. Specifically looking for the parts of those engravings related to the enchantment prohibition to check, Ling only said that he was not feeling well, so he did not follow.
Holding a small notebook, Tian Xian was occasionally responsible for transcribing the intricate engravings in full so that he could study them when he returned in the evening.
"Sister Eve, Ling her...... What is the reason why you can't see the sun? Tian Xian asked casually while recording.
Eve was trying to make out the carvings on the stone pillars when she shuddered slightly at the question. But immediately returned to normal, and still asked with a smile, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"I think I can cure her. β
"What!?" Eve turned abruptly. With a look of surprise on his face, "What did you say?"
Putting down the notebook, Tian Xian said solemnly: "Sister Eve, I have already checked Ling's illness, I think I have a way to cure her." β
Eve seemed to become weak at this moment, and looked at Tianxian with a look of disbelief. There was even some kind of begging in his eyes, "Really...... Really?"
Her voice trembled.
"I still need some medicine, but I've managed to get it, but in the far north, I'm afraid it will take a little time to get all the medicine. β
Eve's eyes grew red. "The gods are above...... Actually, can it be cured......"
Tian Xian was a little unable to face Eve's gaze, scratched his head and said: "This is actually not a great disease, but it is indeed a bit troublesome to treat, I think ordinary methods will never work, but I am confident that this kind of photophobia and fading skin color and hair disease, I think I can cure." β
Eve's fingers trembled and grabbed Tianxian's arm, "Really...... Can it really be cured? At the beginning, at the beginning, ......"
"I know that at the beginning, Snow was called the Child of the Damned, and since it was a curse of the gods, there should be no cure. "But I must say that it wasn't a curse at all, just a common illness. β
Eve couldn't bear these words, and leaned against the stone pillar weakly, "My daughter...... To do this, she ...... She ......"
Looking at Eve with tears in her eyes, Tianxian sighed: "But Sister Eve, I have one thing I want to know, which also has a lot to do with this disease, and it is also a doubt for me. β
"You say!"
"Originally, it was snow...... But why, it's become Ling again?"
Eve was stunned, looked at Tianxian's strange gaze, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It turns out that you want to know about this." β
Tianxian nodded unabashedly, "Yes, because logically speaking, this disease will not be transferred, I am a little strange, and even a little doubtful about my judgment of this disease." β
Eve wiped the corners of her eyes and looked at Tianxian pleadingly, "You tell Sister SΓΉ, is it true...... Can you cure Ling?"
In the face of Eve's second inquiry, Tian Xian nodded, "If my judgment is accurate, it is no problem, but because of what happened just now, there are still some uncertain factors, of course! Even if you don't know about this matter, it doesn't matter, but ...... I was indeed puzzled, and Ling seemed to ......"
Eve sighed helplessly, "Ling...... She must hate snow very much, because of the snow, she can only live in dim light, the extreme north is extremely cold, the sun is the only thing that can bring us warmth, but even this only hope is fatal to Ling......"
"But...... At least she survived. β
Tian Xian was shocked when he heard this, "Sister Eve, this ......"
Eve took a breath and smiled faintly, "Snow...... She's the same as me, no, she's much more powerful than me, and our Tianyan clan was born with extremely powerful spiritual energy. Xue and Ling are twins, but Xue's spirit is stronger than Ling, if it weren't for her situation at that time, she would definitely be cultivated as the most important celestial eye, but it's a pity ......"
Thinking of the past, Eve's expression was gloomy. "Criticized by the Cursed Son, no one wants to touch us, I understand that Xue's talent is extremely powerful, and I do my best to guide her, hoping that she can become the most powerful Heavenly Eye and be recognized by the clan, but perhaps...... It's me who is too impatient. β
"Impatient?"
Eve smiled wryly, "Soon...... Snow has indeed shown extraordinary talent, under my guidance. She began to control the power of the ethereal spirit at an unbelievable speed, but this did not meet the approval of her people, on the contrary...... But it caused panic, and everyone thought that she was a child cursed by the gods, and her great power would bring ruin......"
In this case...... Eve was powerless to fight.
"In the end, we were judged by our clansmen as I had violated the rules of the clan. As a cursed child, as a mother who has a violation of the rules of the clan. There is a child of an older sister who bears the curse, and the three of us can't live together, and the child of the curse is a warning......"
Speaking of this, Eve couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Actually...... This is a decision planned by Grandma Kong, who was going to send snow into the Hangu Tower!"
Tianxian's eyes shrank, "Is there such a thing?"
"Granny Kong probably knows if it's a curse of the gods or not. But there didn't seem to be anything wrong with this decision, and everyone thought it was very reasonable, even me...... It was only here that I realized why there was such a strange decision in the first place. β
"The three of us had to be separated, but Ling was young at the time, and I had to stay and take care of them. So the ...... who left Naturally, it's the snow ......"
Tianxian's heart "chuckled".
"Fortunately, Bai returned to our village at that time......" Speaking of that Bai, Eve's face showed a bit of genuine tenderness, after so many hardships, obviously she didn't blame the man for half a point, "Bai's appearance caused a lot of confusion, I violated the clan rules and married him privately, hehe......"
Speaking of which, Eve was a little shy.
They fought with him, but no one was his opponent, and in the end he defeated all the great people in the clan, and he only said: I will pick up my wife and daughter. β
Eve's eyes flashed with memory, "I will always remember that scene, and I will always ......"
"It's a pity ......" Eve closed her eyes, "Grandma Sora naturally doesn't want Snow to leave, and I can't leave ...... either"
"Why can't you leave?"
Eve smiled and patted Tianxian's head, "Little fool, have you forgotten how our Tianyan clan was expelled back in the first place?" I know very well how our Tianyan clan was guarded in the human continent, the reason why I didn't leave with Bai is that knowing my identity will cause countless troubles, if you add two daughters, ......"
"Yes...... I can't do it any other way. Eve shook her head, "I originally planned to let Ling and Bai leave and go to the human continent, if it was a little girl, it would not be much different from a human girl, and her identity would not be easily revealed, but...... But ......"
Eve's voice trembled, "Actually, I know that once I go to the Human Continent, I may ...... She will never come back, even if Shiro protects her......"
Tian Xian couldn't help but think of the news he heard about the Heavenly Eye when he was walking around the continent, and the human beings' vigilance against the Heavenly Eye was like avoiding the plague......
On the day it was decided that Ling would leave, something happened. β
Tian Xian immediately came back to his senses, "What's the matter?"
"Xue has not been able to see the sun, hiding in the house, but she and Ling are very good, Ling will go outside, tell her what she saw, although Xue can only hide in the house, but she is also very happy, that day...... Ling said that she was going to the Human Continent and would never come back......"
"You may not believe that at that time, because of the awakening of the power of the void spirit, Xue was much smarter than Ling...... She understands what it means to go to the human continent......"
Tianxian couldn't help but be stunned, "Could it be ......?"
"The power of the ethereal spirit of the snow has only awakened not long ago, and it is the most keen, and the most able to affect the abnormal power, that day she secretly found a secret method, which has been circulated in our clan for thousands of years, but it is an absolutely taboo secret method...... -
Well, 6,000 words, but it seems to be a long time (to be continued......
