Chapter 393: The Secret Past
Tianxian was completely stunned, this voice was so clear, it seemed to ring in his ears, but there was no owner of this voice around at all, the only woman was Wu Ya, but she was just staring at herself in surprise with wide eyes now.
"Wuya, did you hear anything?"
Wu Ya looked even more strange, "Voice, the wind?"
Looking into the distance with her idle gaze, Wu Ya only saw the darkness of night on the vast ice field, and with her eyes, she could not see the figure hidden in the ice and snow.
"Guests from afar, do you see anything?" the steward looked into the distance a little suspiciously, and explained, "Although this place is close to the extreme north, it is the defense line guarding the Tianyan clan, but in fact, they don't appear very often, and occasionally some things will appear on the ice field, but it is not the Tianyan clan, did you see something just now?"
Of course, Tianxian saw it, and now he can see it clearly.
Although the night was gradually falling, the figure standing on the ice field was so clear, although only a rough outline could be seen in the distance, but the figure, the white dress...... How do you look exactly like snow.
The Tianyan woman in the legend of the Xiboluo tribe?
Tian Xian couldn't believe the eyes he had always been proud of, that was seventeen years ago, how could that girl still look like this now?
At night, the faint light flowed on the ice field, the girl stood on the top of the glacier, the cold wind blew her white dress, her long pure white hair fluttered with the wind like a snowstorm, Tian Xian saw this qi clearly, she seemed to be looking in this direction.
"It's too slow......" the voice rang in Tianxian's ears at one time, "I've been waiting too long......"
The voice......
Tian Xian was taken aback, the sound seemed to be coming from the snow behind her, but the voice was a little different from hers. Filled with a sinister smell.
This made Tianxian suddenly feel a little chill in his heart, this would definitely not be the sound of snow, but it seemed that someone was talking to himself with the help of snow, and the other party could actually use the body of snow!
Contrary to the limit of the heart trick to urge the five senses, Tianxian meticulously captures every trace of air flow around him, but there are really no suspicious characters around.
I thought about it. Tian Xian closed his right eye, urging the unfamiliar and very dangerous force.
"Guest, what the hell are you?" the steward couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw that Tian Xian was silent, his face was solemn, and when Tian Xian opened his right eye again, he was immediately startled.
Tianxian's golden eyes emitted a bright light, and he swept around with this eye. Tianxian frowned deeply, there was no ethereal spirit around him......
"Hehehe...... It turns out that this is the case, but I didn't expect that there would be people in the Human Continent who would treat our Tianyan clan like this. The voice was so clear that it sounded like snow whispering behind the sky.
"Steward, I'm tired and want to go back to rest!"
Wuya and the steward are both a little inexplicable. But since Tianxian wants to go back, then naturally he immediately followed.
"Come on. Come to this land, I'll wait for you...... I've been waiting too long!" until Tian Xian walked towards the frozen defense line, the voice was still echoing in Tian Xian's ears, and Wu Ya and the steward obviously didn't hear it.
The steward had already asked someone to clean up the room in the village for Tianxian and Xue to live in, and Tianxian didn't even forget to say thank you, so he immediately locked himself in the room. He even stopped Uya at the door.
Untied the cloth bag, Tian Xian saw that the snow was still sleeping in it, quiet and serene, and there was nothing wrong with it. Tian Xian was not at ease, and carefully opened the enchantment. Picking up Snow's body and examining it carefully, the situation was still the same as before, and the snow fell into a deep slumber as if it had been frozen in ice.
The rest of the condition is good.
I didn't see any physical injuries, and I didn't see any mental fluctuations.
The sound had now disappeared, as if there had never been a zài at all, which made Tian Xian very puzzled, and at the same time extremely nervous, because Tian Xian was very sure that the sound he heard at that time was indeed made by snow.
Holding Xue's hand gently, Tian Xian said softly: "Xue, if you can make a sound now, or if there is any way to give me some reaction, you can try it, and I will definitely find out." ”
Tianxian nervously observed the snow's reaction, but the snow was as quiet as ever, there was no response, and after several attempts, it was fruitless.
Tian Xian had to put the snow back into the enchantment and wrap it in cloth, but then he suddenly didn't know what to do, and he was stunned.
Tomorrow, immediately enter the Far North, no matter what the patriarch of the Thundermark tribe tells him, or he doesn't tell him anything at all, Tian Xian feels that he seems to have caught some clues.
"Boy, I have something to say to you. Suddenly, the voice of the evil eye came.
Tian Xian's expression finally recovered from his stiffness, "What's the matter?"
"I've been thinking about it for days, and I seem to understand why those snow rays are attacking you. ”
"Those snow rays!" mentioned those snow rays, Tian Xian's attention was finally pulled over, "You said at the time that it was just speculation, and you didn't say it explicitly, but now it's finally confirmed?"
"Before there was no evidence, it was just speculation, but now there is some basis for speculation. ”
"What basis. ”
"Right in front of your eyes. ”
Tian Xian was stunned for a moment, "You say...... Snow?"
"Yes, it's this little girl. ”
Tianxian's face was slightly gloomy, he picked up the Great Sword of the Wasteland and came to the window, and said in a low, suppressed anger voice: "Do you see the ice field outside? I don't think you would like to be buried deep in those glaciers that have not melted for thousands of years, so that you don't even think about recovering a trace of strength." ”
"Stinky boy, I haven't said ...... yet"
"I know what you're going to say!" Tian Xian swelled up with anger, "And I know what you're afraid of, snow is a huge threat to you, and you've always been a thief, infiltrating my spirit, and even taking away my memories when you're separated! Now that Snow is asleep, you want to hit her attention again, right?"
"Human boy, you'd better ......"
"Shut up!" "I warn you, I find out again that you want to be against the snow, even if I don't want this sword." I'm going to bury you in the barren ice fields that even the Tianyan clan won't patronize at once, unless the vicissitudes of life and the world change dramatically...... Just wait for the next world to be born before you do evil!"
"Bang!" Tian Xian stuck the desolate dust sword by the window and walked back alone.
At this time, the cage next to him trembled. Soon Gollum poked his head out of the caged kite's nest, and he was full of food and drink, and returned from the desert.
"I'm sorry I heard that, but I wasn't eavesdropping. Gollum flew up to the sky's shoulder, and pecked at the feathers consciously as a spirit kite, "But I must say, maybe the evil eye is right." ”
"What, Gollum say?"
"Yes, I'm going to talk to you about what's going on here these days. The rest of the people may have limited understanding of this world, which is completely different from the human continent, but Triangle can better understand the situation here, and he also thinks, perhaps...... It was Cher's problem that attracted those Snow Rays. ”
"He, too, do you ......?"
"It's pretty much the same, but I don't have any basis for it, so I didn't say anything like that. Of course, neither does the triangle. It's all speculation. ”
After hearing this, Tian Xian frowned deeply, thought for a while, and moved the Wasteland Sword back.
"Oh, boy, do you want to hear me again? You see, I said you were too defensive of me, but I'm not as bad as you think, I'm just living my own way. ”
"I'm just living the way we humans live. Tian Xian replied softly. "Moreover, we human beings know that we can change our mistakes, and we also know how to apologize, but my attitude was too bad just now, and I am very sorry. ”
"Hahahaha!" Evil Eye laughed triumphantly.
Tian Xian continued: "Of course. Humans are powerful creatures, and I apologize for hearing your guesses, and I won't let my guard down in the slightest. ”
Evil Eye smiled and said, "This is natural, you can say it directly, and we are all much more relaxed." ”
A flame burned on the Great Sword of Desolate Dust, which slowly opened a hideous eye, which looked at the sleeping snow, and said in a deep voice: "You can not believe my next words, but I don't need to lie to you, after all, our interests are common at present, and in this place, the biggest threat to me is no longer this little girl, but the entire Far North, I will not let you leave me here for any reason, I hope you can understand this." ”
"Of course!" Tian Xian nodded vigorously.
The evil eye was very satisfied, took the tone, and said in a deep voice: "I think that the reason why this girl left the Far North and was taken to the Human Continent to wander is that in addition to the superficial reasons, there are inevitable factors, and one of these factors is that she must not stay in the Far North. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"You're from the Moyun Mountains, and you don't have anything to do with it, and for those Snow Rays, only this girl has some connection to them, and the legend of the Xibo tribe back then, this girl used to lead the Snow Ray herd to wander around......"
"That couldn't be her! She wasn't born yet!" Tian Xian immediately interrupted the evil eye.
"But they look exactly the same!" Evil Eye snorted, interrupting Tian Xian with disdain, "The Xibolu tribe drove you out, although they were affected by the power of the black horn, but the reason they said was not bad at all, I am afraid that the girl had some strange connection with this girl back then. ”
"And today, the Tianyan on the other side seems to be talking to you with the help of her. ”
The evil eye's words made Tianxian even more surprised, "Did you hear that?"
"It's a very subtle power! Uya and the steward of the heights can't hear it, but there's no reason why a being like me can't perceive this fluctuation of power. The evil eye smiled, and there was some smugness in his laughter, "It is also because of this that I am more sure that this little girl is not simple, you might as well think about it, since I found her in the Silent Forest, she is actually very strange in many places." ”
The flame of the evil eye burned vigorously, and the bloody eye grew wider and wider, "She has lived alone in the Silent Forest for a long time, and I hope you will know that it is a near-miraculous thing, she was trapped there by the temptation of the Void Spirit, but in a sense, the Void Spirit created a safe environment for her in the Silent Forest and protected her. ”
Tian Xian's heart trembled, and he said this...... There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.
Evil Eye continued, "She's just a small eye in the sky, in the broken generation. The power of the Tianyan clan in the world of the gods is much stronger than it is now, but not every Tianyan has the ability to summon the great existence of the Frost Giant, which was born in the origin of the world, but she can!"
Tian Xian couldn't help but think of the scene when he faced off with the Four Girls for the first time outside Dent City, and that time the frost giant summoned by the snow almost destroyed a qiē.
"Also, in the Thunder Ancient City, she is the only one who is not restricted by the forbidden power of the Ancient City. Do you have to understand that the power is equivalent to the power of the gods' seals, how can she, a teenage girl, resist that power?"
"And the Eastern Kingdoms!"
"Eastern Kingdom?" Tianxian's eyes, which were a little heavy, became strange, "What's the matter with the Eastern Kingdom?"
"The key!" "The evil eye's voice seeped with a thick malice, "Remember Tu Ge's words? They were guided by the Elven King's prophecy and came to the Human Continent to find the key to unlock the secret treasure, but do you think about it, does that key necessarily say you?"
Tianxian's heart shook dramatically, "You mean ......"
The evil eye smiled, "In my opinion." It's just that your watch hides the little girl's save, and the key...... Compared to you, she has too many mysterious powers in her body that cannot be explained. ”
"This ...... It's just your guess!"
"Yes, it's really just my guess, and there's no direct evidence!" Evil Eye said with a smile, very relaxed, "but it's not a guess, it's a guess based on the conditions we have now. And now I can give you another guess. ”
Tian Xian stared at the evil eye, "What guess?"
"You take this little girl with you. Once you enter the Far North, I am afraid that extremely unpredictable things will happen, and the troubles you will encounter will be unprecedented, even beyond your reach. ”
Tian Xian stared at the evil eye, and his gaze gradually became sharper. "Only...... These?"
"What more do you want?"
Tianxian snorted, "I thought you were going to say that I would definitely die or something, if it was just trouble, then it would be just trouble after all, in my opinion." No matter what happens to me, no matter what happens, I bet that I will also save the snow, and if I want to cause many unimaginable troubles, then ...... Let's solve them one by one!"
Gently flicking the flame of the evil eye, Tian Xian suddenly smiled slightly, "And I'm not the only one who has to face trouble, if I can't solve those troubles, it will be your biggest trouble." ”
The evil eye shook the flames, "I naturally understand, speaking of which...... Maybe it was a wrong decision to choose you in the first place, and if I had chosen someone else, maybe I wouldn't have to fall into this helpless field now. ”
"It's the same as parents who can't decide themselves, you can't help it!"
"I don't care about my origin, because I don't rely on anyone, but only for myself. ”
Gollum pecked the feather again, "Master, I think it's better to throw this guy away quickly, and keep your ears clean." ”
Tian Xian smiled, "It's a pity, you can't copy such an energy body, otherwise it ......"
After checking the situation of the snow again, and seeing that Yiqiē was fine, Tian Xian nodded, "Rest, I will go to see the patriarch of the Thundermark tribe tomorrow, I hope to learn more things." ”
......
The next day, before dawn, Tianxian heard a rush of footsteps outside, followed by Wuya's panting voice: "Brother Tianxian, clan...... Patriarch, he's coming!"
To Tianxian's great surprise, the patriarch of the Thundermark tribe heard about Tianxian and came to visit him in person.
When the patriarch walked into the house, Tian Xian suddenly felt that the room had become crowded.
The patriarch of the Thundermark tribe was an unusually tall man, and very strong, with a thick fur coat and some of the snow accumulated during the journey.
He looked to be in his forties, with a beard and shining eyes.
"Oh! I heard that a foreign guest visited, but I didn't expect it to be such a young man!" The patriarch saw that he was young, but he did not mean to despise it at all, and took the initiative to bow according to the etiquette of the highlanders.
Tian Xian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately returned the gift in the way of the highlanders he had learned from Wuyana, and Wuya said that this time he immediately won the favor of the highlanders.
Sure enough, when the patriarch saw Tianxian return the salute in the manner of a highlander, he immediately laughed, "It's been a long time since I've seen a foreigner." This time it's still a teenager, it's rare, bring out our best wine and food, I'm going to entertain our guests!"
Tianxian has seen the enthusiasm of these highland people, so it will take a few days to entertain them, and now Tianxian can't wait that long.
"Patriarch! I have important things to do, and there are some things I want to ask you before I go, so I'm waiting here. ”
"Oh......" The patriarch nodded, and then sat down on the side, patted the ice and snow on his body and said, "I heard that you have to go over the defense line, but in the far north." ”
"Yes. ”
"Then may I ask why? We Thundermark Clan guard this line of defense, except to prevent the Celestial Eye Clan from invading the highlands. At the same time, I don't want anyone to enter the cursed land, where ...... It's not a place where humans should live. The patriarch's eyes became fierce, as if he wanted to see through Tianxian completely.
For the patriarch's gaze, Tian Xian calmly opposed, "I went to the far north to save my friend, she was unconscious because I was seriously injured, and I was instructed by people." Said there would be a way to save her!"
The patriarch looked Tianxian up and down, and his eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over the cloth bag carefully placed behind Tianxian. Then he nodded slightly, "Honest eyes, for your friends? There used to be such affectionate people on the human continent, and they were such young children." ”
Tianxian said seriously: "I am no longer a child. ”
The patriarch smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I lost my word. When you are older, you will inevitably say the wrong thing, so don't be surprised. ”
Tian Xian shook his head, "Patriarch Yan zhòng, I understand your worries. But since I dare to come, then I am not completely unconfident, I only hope to get some help from you, so that I can better save my friend, and if you can answer me a few questions, then I will be grateful!"
The patriarch smiled generously, "Just because you can gain the trust of the Xibel tribe, we should do our best to help you, not to mention that you still do not hesitate to set foot in that cursed terrible land to save your friends, although I don't want a young man like you to take risks, but I admire your courage and determination, if you have anything to know, just ask." ”
Tian Xian felt a burst of gratitude in his heart, "Patriarch, then...... I wonder where I'm going to find the Celestial Eye Clan's colony when I enter the Far North?"
"The ...... of the Tianyan Clan" the patriarch sneered, "I'm afraid it's very difficult, because their population is extremely sparse, we have never seen them appear en masse, but a few times we entered the Far North, we found abandoned settlements, very small, less than a hundred people, I think they are slowly dying, and until now, we can't be sure where they live." ”
Sure enough, I don't know, Tianxian sighed secretly, but it was not surprising that the land in the far north was estimated to be untouched by humans except for the Tianyan clan.
"Then the second question. Tianxian hesitated for a moment, "Patriarch, can you tell me, what did the Tianyan clan do to make you go to such great lengths to build such a barrier to block them, the Xibo tribe told me that I once had Tianyan lead Xuexiao to wander, and then Xuexiao went crazy, but this reason seems to be too ethereal, and it is not enough to let the Thundermark tribe stay here!"
The patriarch's gaze became playful, "Young man, you seem to ...... Do you care about our relationship with the Tianyan clan?"
Tianxian Zhengse replied: "Yes, if I go to the Far North, I am afraid that I will ask those Tianyan clan for help, I must first know what is going on between you, if I don't even know the contradictions and hatred between you, then I am afraid that there will be huge trouble, after all, in my opinion, there is nothing bad about the Tianyan clan." ”
The patriarch showed a meaningful smile, "Young man, you naturally don't know what's wrong with the Tianyan clan, when they did evil, you weren't born yet. ”
"I would like to hear the patriarch explain!"
"Well, since he is the first foreign guest in such a long time, and a friend of the Sibekobe. The patriarch glanced at Wu Ya, who was following Tianxian closely, "Then it doesn't hurt to sue you, and ...... It's not a secret, it's just that people on the human continent don't believe it yet. ”
Looking out the window, the patriarch said with great emotion: "Our Thundermark tribe has lived in the northernmost part of the highlands for generations, and we also protected the highlands at the beginning, but our task is to prevent those occasional powerful spirit beasts from breaking into the highlands. ”
"The Tianyan clan used to have dealings with the Thundermark Clan?"
"Yes, after all, we live next to each other, although we don't trust them very much, but they are also very peaceful, and every time they come in exchange for a limited amount of necessary things such as fur and food, they will give us very precious magic crystals, which are precious crystals that can be produced by the glaciers in the depths of the far north after thousands of years of accumulation, which can make excellent weapons, and it is because of these magic crystals that we maintain this relationship with them that we are on guard and exchange with each other. ”
"Hundreds of years......," the patriarch sighed, "It is said that this kind of days lasted for hundreds of years, until the last patriarch of the Thundermark Clan, my father, mysteriously disappeared during a transaction......"
"Gone!?" stood up in surprise.
"Yes, gone......" The corners of the patriarch's eyes twitched twice, "right in front of my eyes! Disappeared alive! The heavenly eye who came to trade suddenly shouted a few words loudly, and looked at us with a strange look, and then I don't know what he did, and a strong wind hit us, it was the most violent wind I have ever seen in my life, but even if the wind was fierce, I still saw it, my father, he stood there, as if he had been bitten three times by an invisible monster, the first time to the chest, the second time to the legs, the third time... ... All gone!"
Tian Xian felt his scalp tingle, if this was the case, then there was no doubt that he was devoured by the ethereal spirit!
"There was no blood, and there was no trace, so it disappeared...... the patriarch's voice was low, "The Tianyan clan didn't have any explanation for this, they left quickly, and we officially broke with them, and the days that followed...... Full of strange fears, the Tianyan clan frequently appears in our tribe suddenly, and every time it appears, some people will disappear inexplicably, and they will go deep into the south of the highlands, causing a lot of chaos, and the girl who led the snow ray to wander appeared at that time. ”
Tianxian was silent, listening to the patriarch's words word for word.
"Later, we gathered the people of all the tribes and began to build this line of defense to block them, and during that period, the Tianyan clan also appeared frequently, with the disappearance of a large number of clansmen, it was really a painful time, fortunately, after the defense line was built, the Tianyan clan could not sneak over unconsciously, and the disappearance of the clansmen decreased a lot, and now, only when those Tianyan appeared on the opposite ice field, there would be people who approached imprudently to disappear. ”
Tian Xian clenched his hands, "Only when the Tianyan Clan appears, will anyone disappear?"
"Yes!"
The patriarch shook his head helplessly, "We have sent people to the major empires of the Human Continent to deliver the news of the large-scale activities of the Tianyan Clan, but unfortunately they don't feel that this is a threat, so we can only rely on our own strength." ”
The Tianyan clan used to operate on a large scale on the highlands, and led a large number of highlanders to be devoured by the ethereal spirits, which ......
Tianxian was a mess in his heart. (To be continued......)
