Volume 1: Retrospective Chapter 27: Acacia Beans
The moon and stars are scarce, and on the white banks of the Yugan River, the three of them are sitting around the campfire in silence.
The best proposal is nothing more than the simple teleportation array that Wei Lin said, this kind of formation is simple to build, but the risk is extremely high, because there are no good materials at hand, so you can only teleport one person at a time, so that the last person cannot teleport.
"That giant must be able to restrain the Yugan ban. ”
"Senior Brother Wei, this is the seventeenth time you have said this, and you have also seen that that guy is not willing to deal with us at all, and he can't ask anything famous. ”
Wei Lin's words broke the peace that lasted for a long time, but it was quickly denied by Wen Qin, hoping that the dumb giant might as well go back and ask Jiao Fan for help.
boom
boom
boom
The sound of familiar footsteps was repeated, and this time the giant did not drag the tree as before, but changed into a shabby garment with his bare hands, which, though unrecognizable, was not difficult to see was made to measure.
The giant passed by the campfire of the three men, still ignoring their presence, and walked to the water's edge with his eyes fixed on the other side of the river, and then the three of them were surprised by the scene.
I saw that this giant plunged into the Yugan River, and after raising a wave, he swam to the other side of the river, but did not sink to the bottom as expected.
"There's something wrong with the giant. ”
Wei Lin's guess was confirmed, this giant must have hidden the secret of restraint and prohibition, but what could it be, he guessed many possibilities.
"It seems that if you want to cross the river, you can only find a breakthrough in him. ”
Although the river was fast, the giant seemed to have a good water nature, and after a while he swam to the opposite bank, standing on this side he could only faintly see some of the giant's postures, and after going ashore, he did not leave but sat down, looking up and not knowing whether he was looking at the stars or the moon.
Such a strange sight attracted the three of them to stand at the water's edge and observe for a long time, the night sky was very ordinary, and there was nothing peculiar, but the giant just stared blankly.
"What do you think he's doing?"
Wen Qin frowned and touched Ruan Jin on the side.
"Look at the stars. ”
Ruan Jin replied feeling a little inexplicable.
"Senior Brother Wei, tell me about it. ”
Obviously, Ruan Jin didn't understand what Wen Qin meant, looking at the starry sky is just an appearance, who would swim to the other side of the river at night to look at the stars, could it be that the stars on the other side of the river will be different from those here, it is obviously negative.
"It's simple, he's dating. ”
Wei Lin touched his chin with his sleeve hand, the nature he saw in his eyes was different from the two of them, in his sight, where the giant looked up, there was a girl in red in mid-air staying there, naturally this girl was not a human but a "ghost".
"Date, with whom, don't scare me on the big night. ”
When Wen Qin heard Wei Lin's words, he saw that his expression didn't seem to be joking, so he shrank and moved a little closer.
"A girl, I don't know why she appeared by the river, but it seems that she has been there for a long time, and eighty percent of the giant's clothes are also soaked in this river. ”
Saying that, Wei Lin made a magic decision towards the two, and after a burst of blue light, Wen Qin let out an exclamation, obviously frightened by the scene in front of her, although she was a cultivator, she was still a little afraid of this kind of ghostly thing.
Ruan Jin was more calm, this girl was obviously a geist or something, and she was looking at the giant face to face at this time, and she didn't know what the relationship between the two was.
"Senior Brother Wei still catches ghosts?"
Wen Qin asked cautiously, as if she was afraid that the girl on the other side would find out about her, but fortunately, the sound of the river was not small, so that she could be a little comforted.
"I know a little bit about it. ”
Wei Lin is modest, how rich the experience of a generation of demon lords is, although the ghost path is mysterious and unpredictable, it is not unruly.
Maybe it was because of Wei Lin's words that Wen Qin breathed a sigh of relief, this Senior Brother Wei was very reliable in her heart, so he said that if he understood a little, he really understood, so there was no need to worry.
In this way, two hours passed in a flash, and as the girl in red disappeared, the giant also stood up, and he looked around, a little unsatisfied, and did not know what to talk to the girl's ghost.
"I'll ask him later, senior sister, just look at it. ”
Wei Lin was a little worried about Wen Qin, so he told him again, and the giant had already jumped into the river again and swam towards this side.
"You're trying to cross her. ”
After the giant came ashore, he didn't pay attention to the meaning of the three of them, but passed away, but Wei Lin's words made his steps stop.
"Can you see Asha?"
He turned to look at Wei Lin, a little surprised.
"Hmm. ”
Wei Lin nodded, it turned out that this girl's name was Asha, so she talked to this guy.
"Is there any other way you can help her?"
The giant said in a somewhat agitated tone.
"What's your name?"
As the giant got closer, Wei Lin raised his head, I am afraid that there is some story behind the existence of this half-human and half-demon.
"I asked if you could help her?"
The giant's tone was a little heavier, and he seemed a little annoyed that Wei Lin had diverted the topic.
"I asked, what's your name?"
Wei Lin still had that unhurried expression, and he didn't seem to care about the giant's attitude, and he looked determined.
"Now tell me, if you can help Asha, if not, I'll throw you into the river." ”
Ah Da was obviously threatening, and Asha had also persuaded him about his short temper, but it seemed difficult to control.
"It used to be, but now it doesn't. ”
Wei Lin stretched and walked towards the campfire, not seeming to talk to him again.
"You!
Ah Da followed up and prepared to give this Terran who didn't know whether to live or die to show some color, but when his fist was firmly grasped by Wei Lin, he regretted it a little, and his intuition told him that he couldn't afford to mess with this Terran.
"Do you want me to let you go?"
Wei Lin's hands are like iron casting, Ah Da can't break free at all, and the power of the Hegemony is not something that a half-demon in the foundation building period can resist.
"I can't beat you, I admit defeat. ”
Ah Da knelt down on one knee, although he was reckless, he also knew the truth of bowing his head when he should bow his head.
"It's not enough to just admit defeat, my question, you can only let you go if you answer it well. ”
Wei Lin still clamped Ah Da's fist and didn't mean to let go, he knew that this giant was so easy to deal with, and he didn't have to wait until now to make a move.
I answer, you ask. ”
Ah Da's pinched fist was a little painful, and he could only honestly do what Wei Lin said.
"Okay, first question, why are you not affected by the ban on river water?"
"Because I have beans. ”
"Beans?"
"This. ”
Ah Da pointed to the two beans on his forehead that were hard embedded in the skin, and Wei Lin knew the origin of this thing after taking a closer look.
"Acacia beans. ”
The three words that Wei Lin blurted out were the name of the bean, which originated from the acacia tree, and legend has it that when it matured, two identical beans appeared in each pod.
Bring it to the lover separately, even across thousands of mountains and rivers, you can feel each other's existence and closeness, hence the name Acacia Bean.
"How do you know. ”
Ah Da was a little surprised, the name of this bean was also told to him by Asha, but Asha is no longer in this world, and there are still people who know the name of this bean.
"Is this something strange?"
Wei Lin looked at Wen Qin, she looked very confused when she heard the three words Acacia Bean, with Wen Qin's understanding of plants and trees, this Acacia Bean is probably indeed an extremely rare thing here.
"The second question is, what is your relationship with that girl? ”
"Asha is my sweetheart. ”
"Alright, I'm done with my question. ”
Wei Lin was not interested in listening to the giant tell him his love story, so he let go of his hand.
"You, is there any other way to save Asha. ”
Ah Da stood up, still a little unwilling, he knew what this human race should know.
"The wandering spirits at the water's edge will never enter reincarnation unless they cross the river. ”
Wei Lin looked at Ah Da, there is only one way, the owner of this prohibition has reached the fairyland, so this prohibition will also suppress the soul, so the soul of the girl named Asha should not be able to cross the river on its own.
"However, this bridge cannot be built at all, and you have seen it, and it will sink as soon as you let go. ”
Nature had been instructed to use the bridge to help Asha's soul cross the river, but it was simply impossible to do it.
"The way is up to you. ”
Wei Lin pointed to Ah Da's forehead, Ah Da was a little incomprehensible, this acacia bean could only ensure that he would not be swallowed by the river, but it had no effect on Ah Sha's soul at all.
"This acacia bean, both a fruit and a seed, a hundred years into a seedling, every hundred years after the growth of one zhang tall, a thousand years when ripe enough to be ten zhang high, presumably used to build this bridge is the most suitable. ”
As soon as Wei Lin's words fell, Ah Da immediately knelt down in front of him and kowtowed heavily.
"Engong saved Asha from the sea of suffering with a word, and Ah Da had nothing to repay in this life. ”
Ah Da burst into tears with excitement, so it seemed more like a person.
"Can you send us across the river?"
Wei Lin asked lightly, Ah Da nodded gratefully, and the matter of crossing the river was completed.
