Chapter 20: The Five Camps
When Yun Yang left, the old woman slumped weakly in her chair. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She is getting older and older, her hair is about to fall out in the past few days, and her body is getting more and more weak and tired. She knew she didn't have much time left.
The old woman sighed, she didn't expect that she would measure the rest of her time in the unit of time such as days.
"Hua Nian, Hua Nian, you don't have much time." The old woman sighed softly, the way she used to record time was the wheel, a unit much larger than the year of the Yun Clan.
What is a round?
The Heaven and Earth Tree blossoms and bears fruit once in a round.
The old woman has lived one hundred thousand and one rounds, and she is about to come to her end. She was peaceful, and the days in the Chamber of Secrets had tired her at first, but she had also found a way to have fun after such a long time.
Her Dao Heart Dao Body is far stronger than Ji Xia and the others, her Dao Body can see any place in this world and know anything, and her Dao Heart allows her to calculate all the things in the world, almost without mistakes.
The only mistakes were two people, and these two people were the mistakes of her life.
Now, she wants to make up for it all, but she has to sacrifice others and make new mistakes.
After calculating so much, the old woman finally came to the conclusion: there is no way to achieve everything in the world, and if you want to succeed, you must sacrifice.
After exiting the secret room, Yun Yang woke up in the morning sun, he remembered what happened last night, and felt that everything was like a dream.
However, this incident also seems to be the only explanation that Starfall can defeat him with just one Demon Yuan Bead: Starfall has the help of the Heaven and Earth Tree.
Yun Yang looked at Starfall who was chatting and laughing below, the progress of their wooden ladder was about the same as his own at first, but he had obviously slackened a lot in the past few days.
Starfall obviously didn't want to spend effort on the wooden ladder, the planing wooden ladder was just for show, and his heart didn't seem to be on the wooden ladder at all, but a few StarClan elders helped a lot with the wooden ladder.
Why? Yun Yang pondered, could it really be as the old woman said, Starfall had already determined that he could get the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree, so he slackened.
Yun Yang remembered that the old woman said that she was lying to Starfall, so could the old woman also lie to herself?
Yun Yang asked himself, but of course there was no answer, and there could be no answer to such a question.
But does Cloudifly need answers?
Yun Yang knew that if he continued like this, he would not be able to obtain the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree at all, and the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree would either be Yun Dao Na or Star Dao Na, where would it be his turn to be a character like him?
But Yunyang is unwilling, why should others take it instead of himself?
Now a great opportunity is in front of him, as long as Yun Yang agrees, this heaven and earth tree will pave the way for himself, and he will have more chances of victory.
In that case, why not a little more possibility. What if the old woman lied to herself, she was already like this, how bad could she be?
Moreover, Yun Yang looked up at the flower of the Heaven and Earth Tree that was getting closer and closer above his head: What if that old woman didn't lie to herself? So didn't he miss an opportunity to become the Lord of Heaven and Earth?
Yun Yang said no to such a thing, and would rather be deceived than waste such an opportunity.
Yun Yang pondered on the Heaven and Earth Tree for a day with the determination to die, and then entered the old woman's secret room again after the last sunset.
In the secret room, the old woman's eyes became more and more blank, and her face was full of tiredness, as if she might fall asleep at any moment, and then never wake up again.
"Have you figured it out?" The old woman asked, her voice fluttering.
"Can I ask a few questions?" Yun Yang asked, these questions were the most worth asking after thinking about it that day.
The old woman nodded, indicating that it was okay.
"First, is it because you helped him win against me that Starfall was able to win me?" Yun Yang asked.
The old woman nodded: "I helped him so that he would believe that I was the soul of the Heaven and Earth Tree, and I would help him." ”
"Well, the second one, how do I know you're going to help me? How do I know I won't be deceived by you like Starfall? Yun Yang continued to ask, and this seemed to be the point.
The old woman was silent for a moment and then replied, "No, because you fit." ”
Fit? Yun Yang didn't know where he fit.
"Where do I fit?" Yun Yang suddenly interjected this question.
The old woman was silent again for a long time, and when Yun Yang thought she was going to fall asleep, the old woman suddenly asked Yun Yang, "Do you want to kill someone?" The one I want to kill the most. ”
Yun Yang gritted his teeth and looked at the old woman and said, "Yun Dao." ”
"I still want you to kill the Star Dao, do you agree?" The old woman asked, which was the first condition she proposed.
Yun Yang frowned, there were a lot of people he wanted to kill, but Star Dao didn't seem to have much to do with him. If he could, the people Yun Yang wanted to kill after killing Yun Dao were either the Ji family brothers and sisters or Starfall, and then he went to kill Xingdao.
"I promise you." Yun Yang said, when the time comes, he will definitely be able to kill Xingdao, what are you afraid of?
"I want you to kill Xingdao as soon as you kill Yun Dao, don't kill others." The old woman is definitely authentic.
"Why?" Yun Yang was puzzled, why didn't he let him kill others, the old woman seemed to have something to consider.
The old woman replied, "Because, the Cloud Dao and the Star Dao each have half of the Dao, and only one Dao must exist between heaven and earth. If you don't kill them all, your Tao won't be able to truly control the heavens and the earth. ”
Yun Yang was silent for a moment, such a reason really gave Yun Yang a reason to kill the Star Dao, but why did it have to be so fast?
"I can kill slowly, too." Yun Yang asked rhetorically.
The old woman chuckled: "Xingdao has been enlightened for a long time, if you don't kill fast enough, he has a way to deal with you." ”
Yun Yang nodded, it was true: "I promise you, after killing Yun Dao and killing Star Dao immediately." ”
The old woman nodded, signaling that this question was over, and she had better explain Yun Yang's initial question: "What is more suitable for you than Starfall is that he can't bear to kill Xingdao, while you, Yun Yang, really want to kill Yundao, and after killing Yundao, you will kill Xingdao." ”
Yun Yang had an epiphany, so it was, but Yun Yang didn't expect that Starfall, such an arrogant and domineering person, didn't want to kill Xingdao!
"What's next?" The old woman continued.
"Third, how can you help me?" Yun Yang asked, such a question Starfall also asked, because this is the key.
An old woman in a secret room, a soul of the Heaven and Earth Tree, can't get out of this secret room, how can she help him?
The old woman didn't rush to answer Yun Yang's question, but asked first, "Do you know how I helped Starfall?" ”
Yun Yang shook his head.
"I promised Starfall to tell him when the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree fell." The old woman said slowly.
"When did the Heaven and Earth Tree fruit fall?" Yun Yang was a little surprised, but thinking that the other party was the soul of the Heaven and Earth Tree, Yun Yang was not surprised.
"Uh-huh, but, I won't tell him the exact time. But I will tell you the exact time and place, and as long as you do what I say, you will get the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree. The old woman said.
If Ji Xia Xingcheng and the others were here, they would find out about the old woman's betrayal of them, and the old woman knew everything, but she didn't tell them at all.
And Yun Yang, who has obtained this information, will undoubtedly have the greatest possibility of obtaining the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree.
"Okay, I'll do everything you say." Yun Yang promised that since they had come to this point, they might as well agree to the old woman's request.
The old woman nodded slightly, satisfied with Yun Yang's answer, and also motioned for Yun Yang to continue asking him questions.
"Last question, what do I have to give?" Yun Yang's fourth question, this question is the one that neither Ji Xia nor Starfall asked, but this question may be the most critical.
The old woman was a little lucky, but fortunately it was Yun Yang who came to ask this question, not Ji Xia.
"You have to do what I say these days, and you must not have any other problems." The old woman made her own demands.
Yun Yang hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Then, you will return the white dragon to the black girl tomorrow." The old woman said suddenly. As soon as these words came out, Yun Yang immediately frowned.
Why did you return the white dragon to Ji Xia? What does this have to do with whether or not he can obtain the fruit of the Tree of Heaven and Earth?
Yun Yang was about to ask, but was stopped by the old woman, signaling the condition he had just promised him: no other questions were allowed.
Yun Yang finally agreed, anyway, this white dragon himself can't be raised, so it's better to return it to Ji Xia, so that he won't have to worry about the white dragon running away.
"Let's go tomorrow." The old woman said.
Yun Yang nodded, although he was a little skeptical, he felt that it was nothing.
The treaty between the two sides had been reached, and Yun Yang left the secret room, although he did not have confidence in the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree, but he also had a certain amount of confidence.
When Yun Yang went out, an unconcealable smile appeared on the old woman's wrinkled face, and her mouth was like a broken thought: "He believed, he really believed, this stupid boy he really believed......"
A fifth camp has also emerged, although this camp is also a person, but it is not simple.
Cloud Dao, Star Dao, Ji Xia, Starfall, Yunyang.
The five camps represented by the five people all had more or less confidence in winning the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree this time, and because of the old woman, the grasp of each camp had changed.
Yun Daohe thought that the opponent was only the other party, and he would not notice that there were still people who wanted to capture the fruit of the Heaven and Earth Tree, and even if there were people, they would be subdued by them in the fastest way.
Ji Xiasheng has two Dao Heart Dao bodies in this camp, plus Ji Hai, the Yun Clan's God of War and Ji Bin, the Yun Clan's military advisor, as for the old woman's help, they don't seem to be able to wait.
Starfall and Yunyang, if Starfall knew about Yunyang's existence, he might not be so confident, and he might even go crazy. As for Yun Yang, this fifth camp is acting with a mortal heart.
The five camps felt that the fruits of the Heaven and Earth Tree were all in their own calculations, and they all felt that they had enough possibilities, but they were not the ones who really laid out behind them.
The old woman calculated for a long time and laid out enough rounds, but she couldn't completely calculate the situation. The fruit of the tree of heaven and earth is becoming more and more confusing.
The old woman didn't count anymore, she picked up her pen and continued to write under a leaf.
The leaves were so full that I could only write the last ten words.
The old woman looked at her name on the leaves and wrote the last words of her life: years, the hundred thousand and one round, the day the fruit falls, death.
When she had finished writing, the old woman threw away her pen, looked at her fate, smiled softly, and looked at the top of the secret room with relief, as if she had seen the stars in the sky and her own ending.
