Chapter 42: The Man Behind the Scenes 2
Yeli sat there sipping the tea in his hand, and he didn't urge the archmage to continue. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He could feel that the archmage had reached the point of running out of oil because he had not been baptized in time, and forcing such an old man to tell the clues he wanted to know was not Yeli's style of doing things, and of course, if he didn't figure out the cause of the incident, he wouldn't pay attention to these villagers. There is no need for him to make trouble for himself for the fault of others.
The archmage came back to his senses, and when he saw the appearance of the old god in Yeli, his heart was sour, he thought that Yeli would take the initiative to ask about the things that followed, and then he could logically let him save the villagers, but who knows...... The archmage shook his head slightly and continued, "The masked man promised me that if I promised him one thing, he would save me from baptism and live forever. ”
"You believe it." This was the first sentence that Ye Li said when he entered the door, and the contemptuous voice in his tone made the old archmage's face flush.
"Huh...... I don't have a choice, I can't fight him. ”
Yeli didn't react when he heard his words, still sipping his tea.
"Of course, I'm also selfish." The Archmage added.
For some reason, the handsome young man in front of him made him feel a sense of oppression, he seemed to be able to see through his heart, so that all his selfishness could not be hidden.
"His conditions are very simple, he said that every year there will be a person who will come to Lotus Village and live here for a month, and he asked me to take one of the lotus roots left by the Lotus Goddess at maturity and send them to the cave where his people live, and after they are delivered, he doesn't need to take care of them anymore." The archmage's eyes were already red when he said this, and he regretted it now.
At first, he had a fluke attitude, thinking that he would just fool around with the lotus root in the village, but as soon as he took it, he was recognized.
How could he not know the preciousness of the lotus root left by the Lotus Goddess, but at that time he had been steadily controlled by the Mask Man, if he didn't send the lotus root, not only would he not be able to live, but the entire Lotus Village, including the son of the Lotus Goddess, would not be able to live.
At that time, his sin will be even greater, and he has no way, let alone dare to offend the masked man.
As for the black sha, he was the last person sent by the masked man, but he didn't expect that the black sha would actually use the living people in the village to cultivate, and when he wanted to stop it, he found that the spiritual power in his body was on the verge of withering, let alone killing the black sha and protecting the villagers.
At that time, thanks to Luo Yanxi's visit, the black evil was driven away.
But after Luo Yanxi left, two white-eyed old men with fairy wind bones came here to find Luo Yanxi's whereabouts, and the villagers were unwilling to reveal her whereabouts, so they were killed, and then they hid in this lotus pond, and the archmage fought with the last trace of spiritual power to transfer them here.
After arriving here, he found that his body emitted a rotten smell from time to time, at first he didn't pay much attention to it, but later found that this smell spread very quickly, and after a long time, the villagers fell ill one by one, and the doctor was helpless.
A year ago, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond were a little wilted, and the archmage simply pushed this phenomenon to the lotus pond.
After listening to the archmage's story, Yeli fell into a memory, he had seen about baptism from a kind of ancient book fragment before, in ancient times, the spiritual power on the land was still very strong, and some tree spirits relied on the abundance of spiritual power and their own talent to cultivate into a human form, which was not allowed by heaven and earth.
Creatures that have cultivated into human form are baptized by heaven and earth with thunder and lightning every hundred years, and at this time, almost all living beings cannot stand the burning of thunder and lightning and disappear. Occasionally, one or two survived, and because they were hit hard, they wouldn't have achieved much.
Seeing that it is not easy for living beings to cultivate, they feel compassion in their hearts, so they use great magical powers to completely baptize the body and soul of living beings in a special way, so that they can escape the punishment of heaven and have a lifetime of rest, but they will suffer extremely much pain on the way to baptism.
However, most living beings are still willing to suffer some pain rather than disappear forever.
You must know that cultivators are already anti-heaven beings, and the path of cultivation is even more cruel, and their souls will be scattered at every turn, and everything will be nothing. However, once it succeeds, it will be an existence that stands above tens of millions of people. In ancient times, these sufferings were commonplace. And now the spiritual power is getting thinner and thinner, and becoming an immortal has become an ancient myth, and people's fragile bodies can't withstand the torture of those pains.
There was so much written on the fragments of the book, and the archmage didn't say how the masked man helped him escape the punishment of heaven, and Yeli also asked, but the archmage didn't want to say anything more.
Ye Xing couldn't help but sigh, I have to say that he is indeed the darling of the heavens, at least so far, since he stepped into the path of cultivation, the road has been smooth sailing, and he has not suffered too much.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and the villagers felt the hope of life because of the arrival of Yeli, and gradually fell asleep.
After Lele came out, he sighed in his heart, and his immature face was full of sadness.
After a long time, he slowly spoke: "The villagers here are innocent, if my sister is here, she will save them." ”
"You get the memory inheritance of the lotus goddess, you should know that the lotus pond is one of her doppelgangers, which contains a wisp of her soul, and the lotus root that matures in the lotus pond every year is used to solidify the crystal house where you live, and when he returns, her soul will return, and now this wisp of soul has been mutilated......" Yeli's words were not finished, he looked into the distance, and his expression could not be seen clearly in the night.
"I decided to save them." Lele said with a firm face.
Yeli looked down at the little person beside him, reached out and touched his head, and the corners of his mouth raised a curved arc.
The two stood side by side, their eyes were distant and deep, until a piece of fish belly white appeared in the east, and Yeli put Lele back into the Bailing Holy Water, and a few dodged, and returned to Lotus Village. The villagers are still asleep.
The archmage stayed awake all night, and when he saw a glimmer of light rise in the sky, he walked out of the thatched hut just in time to see Yeli returning from going out.
"The people of Lingshan ......" the archmage shouted weakly, ready to continue, but was interrupted by Yeli.
"Go back and rest! He has forgiven you. After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the thatched house where Yang Zhi was.
Leaving the archmage alone in tears, sobbing silently.
He still lied in the end, he sensed Lele's breath at the beginning, so he sent someone to look for him. Originally, he thought that he was seeing Luo Yanxi, he knew that although Luo Yanxi was smart, but after all, he was young, as long as he said that he was killed, Luo Yanxi would definitely help him, but he didn't expect that the person who came was actually from Lingshan......
"I was really wrong...... archmage looked at Yeli's back and slowly walked towards the lotus pond, his steps were extremely heavy, as if every step he took would use up all his strength.
Walking to the edge of the lotus pond, he knelt down with a plop, the dust was flying all around, the archmage kowtowed heavily to the lotus pond, and when he looked up again, the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone in the lotus pond, a fairy with a fresh and refined appearance, exuding a clean breath, and stepping on the colorful light stood on the blooming lotus flower and waved his hand.
"Goddess Lotus, are you here to pick me up?" said that he hurriedly stood up, patted the dust on his body, and ran over with a happy smile on his face......
