Volume 1: The Peace Bureau (Part I) Chapter 116, Past
Ye Yan's blood was boiling just now, and the moment his father took out his sword, he felt that his divine consciousness seemed to be transcending the nine heavens with the sword intent that soared into the sky.
This is a mysterious realization that he has never had since he practiced, and the whole person is like suddenly taking off the shackles, feeling extremely relaxed, as if turning into a wisp of breeze, blowing through the mountains and rivers and the earth, and blending into the lonely sea of stars.
Looking at the flying stream in the sky, the waterfall containing the power of ten thousand jun suddenly became very small, like a string of water droplets dripping under the eaves after the rain.
He remembered the description of the Three Realms of the Eight Realms cultivators who had seen it in the book "The Explanation of the Source of Cultivation", and he immediately closed his eyes, emptied his entire divine consciousness, and memorized this formula.
It's just that he didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the worse.
The young man was taken to the top of a mountain by Zhang Laotie in the blink of an eye, only to see that there was a square here, surrounded by eight tall stone monuments.
Before he could fully figure out what was going on, he saw a ruin god covered in black mist suddenly sweep out from behind a stone monument and pounce on them.
The night was shocked, and he didn't expect that the ruin god he summoned would run here, and his father pulled him back, flashing out a few feet.
The ruin god with an empty skull and a pair of black wings on his back scooped up the air with one hand, let out a roar like a wild bull, stepped forward, and waved his arms again to grab it.
Ye Yu waved his hand as a ploy to split the wind into the Xuanmen and slash at the legs of the ruin god.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Laotie also threw out a crimson sword light and shot at the head of the ruin god.
The father and son work together seamlessly.
There was a muffled thud.
The head and feet of the ruin god exploded at the same time, turning into a cloud of black mist, but in an instant, it recondensed its body and was undamaged.
Zhang Laotie shouted: "Give me the falling moon!" ”
Ye Yu didn't say a word, his hands collided with his fists, and he pulled out the natal object that he had not been able to control from his body and handed it to his father.
Zhang Laotie swung his sword as a sword and threw it forward suddenly.
A black sword shaped like an arc moon spun out from the front of the blade, slashing straight at the head of the ruin god.
I only heard a click, like an eggshell shattering.
The huge head of the ruin god flew up in response, and countless golden sand tribulation dust erupted from the neck cavity, and the huge body fell to the ground with a bang, shattering like a mud puppet.
However, before they could catch their breath, the void above the altar suddenly split, and out of it flew a huge boat that was pitch black and the size of a building ship traveling on the river.
Countless black mist like octopus tentacles poured out from both sides of the ship, winding towards the two of them from all directions.
The father and son slashed again, but they were a little overwhelmed.
At this critical moment, Ye Yu suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance, turned his head to look, and saw that a "stone tablet" on the edge of the square had sunk into the ground at some point, revealing a hole, and Yunlang was waving to them inside.
Seeing this, Zhang Laotie grabbed Ye Yu with one hand, and with the other hand, he slashed off two tentacles as thick as buckets, and flew into the door.
The stele rises again, keeping the black mist out.
……
Behind the door, the three of them ran along a winding road leading to the city, all the way to a suspension bridge in the city, and saw that there was no black fog chasing behind them, so they slowed down slightly.
Ye Yu saw that the surrounding street buildings were no longer crystals, but had turned into boulders carved with animal patterns, and then looked down from the bridge, and could see many crisscrossing roads, like dense tree forks, only to suddenly realize that he had returned to Tianshi City and had made a big circle.
At this time, I saw Yunlang stop and turn to Zhang Laotie: "It's changing outside, you grasp the time yourself, I'll lure them away"
Zhang Laotie nodded slightly.
Yun Lang smiled apologetically at the night again, flew off the bridge, and landed straight to the bottom of the stone city.
The night is drunk and I don't know why, and my heart is full of suspicions.
Zhang Laotie walked across the suspension bridge, crossed a stone hall, and came to a terrace with a view of the mountain.
Ye Mo also followed outside, only to see the inverted world in the sky becoming more and more blurred, he thought, "What else do you have to do?" ”
Zhang Laotie put his hands on his waist, looked at the crystal mountain peak above his head, and said "um" softly.
Ye Yu said: "What was that place just now?" ”
"In the Celestial Stone"
Zhang Laotie gave an answer that was unexpected by the teenager, but reasonable.
Ye Yu slightly recalled the memories of the god generals who had not yet had time to fully digest them, only to find that there was a hidden space at the top and bottom of the stone city on this day.
The young man frowned and said, "Who hurt you?" Hurt so badly, and, how did you know I was coming? ”
"A god general who wants to snatch the heavenly stone, does he have wine?"
Zhang Laotie retracted his gaze, walked to a stone staircase and sat down, diverting the topic.
Ye Yu took out a jar of goose roast head from Feng Monkey from the bamboo basket and handed it to him.
Zhang Laotie tore off the mud seal on the altar, smelled the rich aroma of wine at first glance, his eyes lit up, he raised his head and poured a mouthful, but he was choked and coughed violently.
Nightmuffler rolled her eyes and hurriedly came to his side and helped him tap his back gently.
Zhang Laotie took a slight breath and praised: "The wild goose burns Beijing, it is strong enough!" Where did you get it? ”
"I begged a friend, but you haven't answered me yet"
Ye Yan's face became solemn, and whenever his father put on such a show, he knew that there must be something hidden from him.
The middle-aged man also knew that he couldn't get around this hurdle, so he put down the wine jar in his hand: "This is all arranged by your mother, you know that she is a saint of the Nine Realms, and she can see many things that we can't see."
Ye Mo was a little confused, and slowly squatted beside his father.
Something like an uncertain prophet had happened a few times in his past life experience, and he didn't dwell on it anymore, and sorted out his thoughts a little, saying, "I saw Xiaochun when I came."
Zhang Laotie's face suddenly became a little lonely, and he said in a slow tone: "Is it, she...... Are you okay? ”
Ye Yu jumped up from the ground, turned to look at his father, and said with a shocked face: "You already know, don't you?" How did she become the saint of the Great Zhou State Religion? What the hell is going on? ”
Zhang Laotie looked at the red eyes of the night, and was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to speak.
The whole thing is too cruel for both Yeyu and Xiaochun.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while before slowly telling the truth.
"When you and Xiaochun were taken captive, when your mother and I arrived, they had already sent Xiaochun to Yongdu, and you finally died of serious injuries, Sanguang was separated, and your mother had to use the Heavenly Dao to maneuver back to the past and bring you from the past to the present, but none of us thought that this would change the trajectory of Xiaochun's life"
Ye Mo was mentally prepared for the fact that he might have died once after being taken captive back then, but he was a little confused about Xiaochun's change.
"You mean, because she saved me, she changed her life?"
Zhang Laotie nodded slightly.
"What will happen?"
"She will become the Golden Mother of Yaochi, and she will be ...... in the future"
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man paused again, raised his head and poured a sip of wine, only to feel that his heart was like fire, and he couldn't go on.
"My enemy, right?"
Ye Yu thought of what Yun Lang had told him on the boat before entering the Spirit Gold Vault, and took a deep breath.
Zhang Laotie didn't look at Ye's eyes, but just nodded, his expression a little desolate.
Ye Su didn't think it was a big deal: "People will change, if there is really a day when swords face each other, I will let her"
Zhang Laotie smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "That's good"
But Yeyu still felt that something was wrong, and he suddenly said coldly: "What else?" Don't hide it from me."
Zhang Laotie was dumbfounded, and found that he could no longer deal with his son like a child, and said: "The fates of the two of you are entangled, as long as she lives, you can't change history."
The night was stunned, and it took a while to figure out the meaning of his father's words, and his face turned from confusion to shock.
"Even if I kill that dog emperor in the future, I won't be able to change everything that happened?"
Zhang Laotie nodded again: "Since you can come here, you should already know what the Heavenly Dao Gyration can do."
Ye Yan's eyes widened instantly, and he finally realized the seriousness of this matter, and said angrily: "Why can't you change it? ”
Zhang Laotie shook his head: "This is the truth of fate entanglement, it will lock the people who are entangled forever in a timeline, just like a bird tied to each end of a line, interfering with each other"
The night fell silent for a while, and the boredom in my heart was no longer there.
After a long time, the young man barely managed to squeeze out a dry smile: "There will always be a way, you brought me back from the past, how many years have it spanned?" ”
Zhang Laotie looked up at the mountains in the distance: "Ten years"
Ye Mo was a little confused when he heard this: "Why is it so long?" ”
"Ten years is the shortest time interval, you can only go back to ten years ago, or the more distant past, and then follow the steps"
Ye Yu suddenly remembered some records in the Huaigen Codex, and there was indeed such a statement, and he froze there.
"It's been seventeen years, so to speak"
Zhang Laotie took a sip of wine and did not make a sound.
Unconsciously, the father and son on the terrace were covered with snow and frost on their heads, and their mood was extremely heavy.
When the sun sets, the fiery red sunset rises up the mountainside.
Zhang Laotie got up slowly, patted Ye Mo on the shoulder, and said softly: "Let's go"
The boy looked up at the sky again, and the world hanging upside down in the canopy was no longer visible.
"Where are we going?"
"Underground, Crystal Cave"
"What are you doing there?"
"Closing the Matter"
……
Ye Mo didn't ask much, just silently followed his father's side, followed the road in the stone city, and came to the lowest crypt again.
The two of them swept between the stone trees and came to the crystal cave.
Ye Yu took out the torch from the Sumeru object and lit up the surroundings, and found that the surrounding area was in shambles, as if there had been an earth-shattering battle, and there were still many sword marks on the crystal rock wall.
Seeing this, Zhang Laotie's expression was suddenly shocked, and he flew forward.
The two went to the depths of the cave and found that several rock walls had been broken, and the bones of some giants were scattered all over the ground.
Ye Mo took the torch and saw a lot of red mist surging in the depths of the crystal wall, like blood oozing from the depths of the mountain.
He hadn't seen anything like this when he came, and according to the memory of the gods, most of the things sealed in the depths of these crystal walls came from ancient times, and they were already dead.
"Let's go"
Zhang Laotie urged and quickened his pace.
The two of them came to the cliff face carved with a mural in a short time.
When he saw that this place was intact, Zhang Laotie sighed lightly and was relieved.
Ye was suspicious: "What are we doing here?" ”
Zhang Laotie looked at the mural on the crystal wall: "I want to go back"
"Where to go?"
"Twenty years ago"
Ye Yu heard a sudden shock: "What? ”
Zhang Laotie held the torch in his hand, turned to look at his son, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Not everything in this world can be repeated, you are so smart, you should have felt it, right?" ”
Yeyu's face turned white in an instant, as if he had been struck by lightning, as if he thought of something terrible.
Zhang Laotiedao: "The only way to get out of here now is through this stone wall"
Yelu was unsteady on his feet, squatting on the ground, tears coming out of the frame.
From the moment he felt the subtlety of the sword that his father had unleashed in the Heavenly Stone, he felt that there seemed to be a mysterious sense between him and his father.
It felt a bit like he was in a treasure map, constantly resonating with the world around him.
He thought of what God said when he was about to die, and his chest felt like a sharp ice ballast, and every breath he took was tingling with a piercing heart.
Zhang Laotie smiled slightly, as if he knew what Yeyu wanted to ask, and said slowly: "You are much better now than I expected, I have to go back to ensure that there are no more accidents in this timeline."
Ye Mo just shook his head vigorously, and couldn't listen to anything anymore.
Zhang Laotie squatted down and pressed the young man's head with his hand: "People will eventually die, I am better, there is still a choice, I can live to die, if nothing happens, tomorrow the way of heaven is reversed, we can see each other again"
Ye Su suddenly threw himself into his father's arms, hugged his father's waist, and cried profusely.
"No, you are deceiving me again, I promised my mother to take good care of you, you promised me to save Xiaochun together, although she is now a general, but she is not doing well at all, you run so far, if something goes wrong, what should I do?"
Hearing his son's heart-rending cry, Zhang Laotie was a little helpless: "Then what should I do, do you want to wake up one day and suddenly find that everything around you has changed, friends have become enemies, lovers have left, homes are broken, and the country will not be a country?" ”
Ye Yu said excitedly: "I don't care about anything else, as long as you live, there must be another way, we can go back to Taiping City"
Zhang Laotie sighed gloomily: "Each of us has our own destiny"
