Chapter 437: The Truth
Since I was a child, I was forced to practice all kinds of methods of unknown origin, strange stunts, and in my childhood with memories, except for being called around by the barefoot doctor to help me do accidents, I was carrying out those abuse-like cultivations.
Among them, the bone shrinking function is the most unbearable. God knows where that old liar got his practice method, in order to make the bones flexible and the joints can fall off at will, he will tear off the joints of Tianxian's whole body, and then reconnect them little by little, tear them off again, and then connect them again......
The pain of a broken joint is like a body being torn apart, and this pain has to be endured countless times a day......
Tian Xian does not cry, does not make trouble, and endures silently, but this pain is deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul, and every time he thinks about it, he shudders.
And now, Tian finally feels relieved, and he only remembers the impression of that time of great pain, but what kind of situation was it, and what kind of inhuman pain he endured...... Now it's already the silver water spirit in front of me to experience.
All he feels now is a sense of joy and relief.
The cold breath of the source water power wandered all over the body, and the reverse heart formula had assimilated them, integrated them into the whole body, and turned into a regular flow of qi and blood in the body, that feeling, like a cup of cold sour plum juice poured into the stomach on a summer day, and every pore of the body was comfortably bubbling cold.
Tian Xian knew that he couldn't get a divine object like the Flash Wave Knife, after all, he was not a pious highlander like Xiang, and he didn't want to, so he would have to pay a higher price.
But Tian Xian is not worried that he will not be able to use this power in the future, although there is no such powerful thing as the Flash Wave Knife as a source of power, but in this world, water is everywhere, as long as there is water, this power can be awakened. Although it is much more troublesome than Xiang's flash wave knife, it is already very good that Bai De is cheap.
The most important thing is that I suddenly figured out the reason why I couldn't inherit the stigma, and I also realized what the value of today's anti-heart trick as a method to stimulate the potential of life, this trip to the highlands. It's a lot to learn.
"Now, it's my turn to ask questions, right?" Tian Xian smiled smugly at the silver water spirit.
The silver water spirit's body was still slightly unstable, as if the memory of Tianxian made it miserable, "It's the first time I've gotten such a memory...... Well, what do you want to know?"
"Three questions!"
"Three, okay! That's an interesting memory worth three questions. ”
"First!" Tian Xian frowned slightly, "What is the memory of the price that Xiang paid for the flash wave knife?"
Silverwater looked at Tianxian strangely, "This doesn't seem like what you started to say you wanted to understand. ”
"Answer!"
"Okay. Silverwater Spirit chuckled, "Some memories of her childhood. A lot, I don't think I can fully explain it to you. ”
Tianxian's eyebrows are lowered, the truth is the same as expected, and the truth is that Xiang is a complete fool!
With Xiang's serious and dull character, I am afraid that she sacrificed her most precious and beautiful memories to the silver water spirit, the memories of her childhood, which are treasures that most people will never share with others in their lifetime.
"Second question!" said Tian Xian sullenly. "Why the hell did Xiang leave the highlands alone with the Flash Wave Knife?"
The Silver Water Spirit showed an extremely human evil smile, "Because...... Mission!"
"I'm asking what the hell is the mission!"
"Then that's the third question. ”
I was stunned. Immediately reacted, it was actually put on the table, wasting a question in vain.
With a cold face, Tian Xian asked, "Okay! The third question, what mission did Xiang get to leave the highland alone with the flash wave knife?"
The silver water spirit seemed to be very proud of his little tricks, and replied with a smile on his face, "It's a difference of faith. ”
"What do you mean?"
"The Highlanders have lived for generations in this place, loyal and united. But since that force began to awaken from the Far North, their beliefs have diverged. ”
Tian Xian's heart 'chuckled', that power?
The Silver Water Spirit continued: "A cold and evil wind blew from the Far North, and the creatures of the Highlands were affected, and most of the Highlanders suffered this qiē in silence. Even as the population declined, they continued to live their old ways, while another part of the Highlanders felt that something had to be done about the situation in order to save the declining Highlanders. ”
Hearing this, Tian Xian had already vaguely guessed something, "And then?"
"Then the previous successor got the Flashblade from me, and left with a mission to find and break the mutation in the Heights. The silver water spirit let out a casual laugh, "They chose the human continent, hoping that the human race can find a way to solve the problem, after all, the human race still believes in the human race, but it's a pity that ......"
"What a pity?"
"If you're willing to give a memory again, I can tell you what to do. The silver water spirit looked at the sky indifferently.
Although there was not the slightest flaw on the condensed face of the lake, Tian Xian still heard some kind of longing in the other party's voice, presumably the painful memory that he had obtained before made the silver water spirit extremely unwilling, if he did it again, the other party would definitely not let him go.
Tian Xian shook his head, "I already know enough, thank you for the answer." ”
"Oh, aren't you going to fulfill the contract further?"
"I don't have any plans for this for the time being. Tian Xian stretched out his palm, grabbed his five fingers in the air, and jumped up a ball of fire on the barren dust sword inserted in the middle of the lake, and the sword body immediately made a strong roar, and the flames jumped out of the lake in the tumbling, and flew back to Tian Xian's hand in a roll.
"Fire!!"
The silver water spirit screamed, and the shape of its body distorted in shock, "You...... Why is there fire on your sword!? and, and ......"
The voice trembled, oozing with incomparable anger and killing intent, and the body of the silver water spirit shook violently, "What is this flame...... Evil Eye!"
Holding the Great Sword of the Wasteland behind his back, Tian Xian grinned, "Yes, it seems that you really don't care much about the news of the human world, otherwise you wouldn't know that I have an evil eye." Although the evil eye is against you, I have no ill intentions, and thank you for your news this time. ”
As he spoke, Tian Xian stepped back, "If I have a chance, I will come to see you." ”
"Want to go!?"
See the flames of the evil eye. The silver water spirit that fell into rage in an instant let out a terrible scream, and the entire lake surface surged violently in an instant, and the swirling lake water quickly condensed into a flash knife in its hand, "Today, you are going to die here!!
Tian Xian didn't mean to make a move, and said calmly in the face of the angry silver water spirit: "I won't die here, and I will definitely come back, because you took away the very important thing of incense!"
The silver water spirit let out another scream, and the waves stirred up by the lake were like a sharp steel needle piercing the sky.
Tianxian just stood there. Motionless.
The rainstorm of water needles pierced Tian Xian's body, but it had no effect at all, and at the moment it hit Tian Xian's body, these sharp and hard needles turned into water droplets, hitting Tian Xian's body, ticking sound.
The body of the silver water spirit couldn't help but churn violently a few times, and Tian Xian was using the source water power he had just obtained to defuse its attack.
"It's useless. Tianxian shook his head, "Although my strength is far less than yours." But it's impossible for you to kill me in a short time, I have enough time to leave. Don't waste your efforts anymore. ”
The Silverwater Spirit fell into an incomparable rage, "Cunning humans, they have come to deceive us of our power, but don't forget it! You are already our contractor! You don't want to escape our tracking in this life!"
"I never thought about running away, it's just that now I have more important things to do, about the contractor." The evil eye also told me some details, and I also know that this kind of contract is not particularly binding, so I signed a contract with you, and you don't have to threaten me with it. ”
"You...... Damn human!!" The Silverwater Spirit boiled with rage, but it knew that what the heavens were saying was the truth. It can't kill Tian Xian in an instant, not to mention that Tian Xian has now been recognized by the power of the source water, not to mention that he also has the flame support of the evil eye, in essence, the evil eye is much more powerful than the silver water spirit.
"I'm sorry to make you so angry, but don't worry, I'll go back and finish some things, and then I'll come back here, Xiang is a dull personality, she doesn't know that she paid too much price to complete her mission, you just wait here, and soon I'll be back here again and get back Xiang's memories." ”
As he spoke, Tian Xian walked under the rocks by the lake, picked up Ke Mu, who had long been unconscious, and turned around and said, "Anyway, thank you for suing me about incense, as a spirit of source power, you are still good." ”
"Boom !!!"
The entire mountain range shook, and the highest peak of the holy mountain spewed flame-like light, as if it was a volcanic eruption, and almost all the people of the source water tribe were awakened.
The storm was still going on, turning into goose feathers and heavy snow raging wildly in the mountains, it should have been dawn, but now it was still dark and dreary and there was no light in sight, and everyone from the source water tribe looked at the top of the holy mountain in surprise, not knowing what the spewed light flame on the top of the mountain meant.
Fortunately, the blizzard in the mountains was so fierce that no one could go up the mountain to check it out at this time.
Tian Xian carried Ke Mu on his back, trotting all the way down the mountain, and in the process of descending the mountain, Tian Xian had a very obvious feeling, after the fusion of the source water power, he became more agile in an environment like the highlands, and he didn't know whether it was adapted to the cold weather or this power brought new vitality to the body.
Taking advantage of the raging storm, Tian Xian finally returned to his cabin before dawn. also went out by the way and sent Ke Mu back to the house where he lived alone.
The blizzard in the mountains had subsided a little by noon during the day, and there was a knock on the door of the day's house.
"Come to me, come and get some food to warm up, the blizzard has subsided. Outside the door was the voice of the elder, which surprised Tianxian very much, he didn't expect this old man to come and invite him in person.
He had been running the trick of rebellious heart and recuperating for most of the day, and he did not feel tired at all, so he immediately approved the thick clothes and opened the door.
Tianxian has been recuperating in the house, unaware of the outside world, and now he was startled when he went out.
A snow hole was dug in front of his house, and behind the elder stood several warriors from the Source Water Tribe clearing the snow, and they actually dug the hole all the way.
The frenzied blizzard engulfed the entire village overnight, and it is better to say that the blizzard has weakened than to say that the blizzard has had little impact on the villages buried below.
Looking at the surprised Tianxian, the elder smiled. "It's a common occurrence, don't be surprised, when the blizzard passes, we'll clear it quickly, and the village won't lose anything, just every time the blizzard hits. You have to wait for the snow to completely bury the village before you can come out, which is a bit of a problem, you have not eaten for almost a day, you must be hungry, come with me. ”
The elder was friendly and welcoming, which made Tianxian a little embarrassed, after all, he had only sneaked up to the top of the mountain that people regarded as holy places last night......
"What's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?" the elder saw that the sky was unnatural.
Tian Xian hurriedly looked straight and said with a smile: "No, no, it's just a little surprised." Speaking of which...... Why does it snow here, I remember ......"
Shut up instantly. Tian Xian almost wanted to say, "I remember it raining at the top of the mountain." ”
The elder went and laughed twice, "Ke Mu said that you fell from the sky, it seems to be true, it is true, it rains when it is high in the sky, but the climate here is different from other places, and the land on the highlands is colder than other places. Maybe it's influenced by the northern ice fields, in our place. It's raining at the top of the mountain, but it's definitely snowing at the bottom of the mountain, hahahaha!"
Tianxian breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't say anything about revealing the stuffing.
The elder warmly welcomed Tianxian to his home, and then took out steaming food, which made Tianxian even more unhappy. From the mouth of the incense, Tian Xian knows very well the situation here, and food is the most precious thing here.
After only eating a little, he stopped eating it when he was free, "Elder, I want to ask about the incense." Is that okay?"
The elder ate slowly and carefully, without wasting a single thing, and did not react in particular after listening to Tianxian's words, as if he had expected it.
"That girl must have caused a lot of trouble, didn't she? Otherwise, it wouldn't have been worrying to come here to ask about her. ”
"No, she's fine!" said Tian Xian hurriedly, "But, she seems to be working very hard, and I happened to be in the north this time, so I stopped here to inquire." ”
"By the way?" the elder looked at Tianxian, it was the first time in his life that he had heard that someone would come to this place by the way, this land was already on the verge of the extreme north, and it was almost no longer on the edge of the human continent map.
Tianxian didn't know how to explain it, so he simply skipped it and didn't talk about it, "I really just want to know more about incense, after all, she is now my good friend, and she is helping me do very important things, I hope we can get closer, I don't want to touch the bottom line that she can't tolerate because I don't understand anything one day." ”
The elder narrowed his slender eyes, "Do you care about her?" Speaking of which, this girl is indeed a likable girl in addition to being a little dumbfounded, how old are you. ”
Tianxian almost wanted to faint immediately, how did this sentence remind him of Eve asking about his age when he was in the Tianyan Clan......
"Uh-huh...... Tian Xian snorted twice, "I'm just, really just want to know more about and help Xiang, we are better, but ordinary friends." ”
The elder nodded slowly, "That's true, you look like you're about fifteen or sixteen years old, but I think it should be a little younger, Xiang is already twenty years old, she won't like your ......"
Tianxian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"So......," the elder twisted his beard, "I need to state one thing now. ”
"Please!" Tian Xian immediately sat up straight and looked at the elder seriously.
The elder seemed to be very satisfied with Tian Xian's actions, nodded slightly and said, "The patriarch has ordered that if the tribes find a black-haired young man named Tian Xian with a giant sword, they will be expelled immediately. ”
As he spoke, the elder looked at the black-haired young man with a giant sword and a name named Tian Xian in front of him, waiting for an answer.
Tian Xian smiled bitterly, "This must be a misunderstanding! I don't know why the patriarch expelled me, I saw the patriarch once on the ice and snow defense line, and we ...... at that time We had a great time, but when I came back, it was like this, and I really ......."
The elder interrupted the conversation, "As soon as you come back?"
Tianxian immediately shut up, and accidentally, he actually said that he had leaked his mouth.
The elder looked at Tian Xian with a smile, "The patriarch's order actually has some explanations about why he wants to expel you, do you want to know?"
It doesn't feel good to be idle. "Why?"
"Because the patriarch's order clearly mentions that the young man has entered the Far North, he will never come back, and the person who appears in the form of this young man again is no longer him!"
Tian Xian was taken aback, and Huo Ran stood up. "I'm not a human in the Skyeye Clan's disguise!
In response to Tian Xian's fierce reaction, the elder just touched his beard with a smile, and then laughed twice, "Young man, don't be nervous, sit down and talk." ”
Tian Xian finally understood why the patriarch of the Thundermark tribe wanted to expel him, because he thought that he could not leave the Far North alive, and that he would only be a false phantom.
"Elder, do you doubt me?"
The elder laughed. "Okay, okay, I'm just talking, sit down, sit down, I still have a lot to say to you. ”
After Tianxian sat down, the elder still smiled and said, "At first, I was indeed very skeptical, but I don't think you are from the Tianyan clan, and you said that you are a friend of Xiang. Those Tianyan clans didn't know that Xiang had left here. ”
This sentence made Tianxian's eyes light up, "Say so." You believe me. ”
"At least I believe most of them. ”
"The Patriarch's Command......"
The elder waved his hand, looking indifferent, "Don't worry about this, it's not once or twice that our Yuanshui tribe doesn't follow the patriarch's orders." ”
Tian Xian was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered the words of the silver water spirit at the top of the mountain, in the Thundermark tribe. Among the many tribes of the highlanders, some insist on holding the highlands no matter what, while others want to know what is happening in the highlands by knowing what is happening in the highlands.
The elder sighed, "It's also because of similar reasons that Xiang will venture to the human continent. Otherwise, with a personality like Xiang, I would never let her go out alone. ”
"Elder, what do you mean by the ......?"
The elder smiled helplessly, "You want to know about incense, right? Actually, this is very simple, incense left with the hope of our Yuanshui tribe, this is also what I mean, we highlanders have lived in this land for generations, and now terrible things are happening in this land, we can't do anything about it, even if we build this ice and snow defense line, we still can't stop those terrible things from happening, I think we must ask for help and seek new answers." ”
Although the words of the elder were vague, combined with the words of the silver water spirit, Tian Xian finally understood.
Over the years, the Highlands have been eroded by a strange force, and some Highlanders have grown black horns on their heads, losing their minds and even turning into bloodthirsty monsters.
Some of the highlanders chose to wait quietly, waiting for some kind of godlike being to come to their rescue and give them an answer to this phenomenon, even believing that it was the result of some misconduct and anger against the gods.
The other part of the highlanders saw the crisis and destruction, and they tried to find a new way to solve the problem, and the Yuanshui tribe, which belonged to the Thundermark tribe, obviously had a different idea from the patriarch.
And judging from the fact that they sent out to go to the human continent, the source water tribe was the part of the highlanders who felt the imminent danger, or the old man in front of him felt the danger and destruction.
Xiang as a messenger, as a hope was thrown into the human continent, perhaps the elder wanted to use the developed knowledge of the human continent and the evolution of various forces to find a reasonable answer, but ......
Obviously, Xiang is not a perfect candidate.
Xiang is very self-disciplined, serious and strict, and her strength is not bad, judging from the fact that she defeated others in the competition within the clan and won the recognition of the Silver Water Spirit, Xiang who now has the Flash Wave Knife may be the number one warrior of the Source Water Tribe.
However, she has the common problem of every highlander - too simple.
And apparently this characteristic of the Highlanders in the eyes of the rest of the human race has been magnified countless times by Xiang, she is a girl who is so simple that she is even a little off the line.
Who has ever seen a guy who repays the favor for a little bit of pitiful food and then buries herself alive in the ground? Xiang is such a guy, and until now she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with what she has done, and there have been several times when she has committed suicide to apologize for the sake of being idle and now she doesn't remember anything at all, this kind of self-discipline to the point of cruelty is really worrying. (To be continued......)
