No.38 Sword King (Throne)
The west abyss of the sea in the text is the ruins of the South China Sea, the place where all things end from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". The ancient sword didn't say where the desolate soul that had returned to heaven and earth would go, so I deliberately added such a setting.
PS: Don't tell me that the orientation is wrong, the ancient Huaxia is in the east, and the South China Sea Guixu is naturally in the east, but the problem is that Merlin and Opal are both in the west, and in terms of orientation, it is indeed the "west of the sea".
Every time I mention Shaoxia, I can't help but think of his Hai Dongqing, and then think of the stalk of "Luhua Chicken" that I complained about in the game...... Speaking of which, Shaoxia, you really don't think about losing weight for your family Ah Xiang? If you get fatter, you should worry that it won't be able to fly.
Ps: This chapter can also be regarded as showing Opal's attitude towards the so-called "Mandate of Heaven", I have given up saving this baby's three views. Smart people can probably guess the final ending of this article, I can only say that character determines fate, well. (No spoilers for those who know the ending in the group!) )
In other words, there is suddenly a story idea of a young man in the second week and a tsundere foodie Ah Xiang who started to cultivate demons after crossing over, but considering my current debts...... I don't know if anyone would be interested in writing this story.
=======================
King of Swords (upright): A trustworthy person.
、
The Abyss of the Sea・???
、
There was no one talking to the spirit boy who was following him, and Opal felt that he was doing it purely to pass the time.
However, perhaps because of Opal himself, after absorbing the few small white things that were wandering around on the road, the appearance and thinking of the spirit boy became clearer, and although he was still silent and did not like to speak, his expression was much more agile than at the beginning - not that there was more expression, but it gave people a feeling of vitality.
[Tu Su, do you know this thing?] ]
Curiously, Opal reached out and grabbed a mass of white spirits that had been following the spirit boy since he had been following her, and found that it was a bird-like shape.
[…… Pander to...... Soar? ]
However, Opal didn't play around a few times, but the spirit boy suddenly moved, and stretched out his hand towards the spirit in Opal's hand, with a little ignorance and a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
As a result, the spirit body that was still in Opal's hands immediately changed its form and jumped out of Opal's hand, and then fell on the shoulder of the spirit boy, and after a while, the image immediately became clear, turning into a ......
[Luhua chicken?] ]
Twitching the corners of his mouth, Opal felt that his worldview had been turned upside down - when would the chickens fly?
[…… Ah Xiang is not a Luhua chicken, but Haidong Qing......]
The spirit boy looked at Opal and replied very seriously, and the one that stopped on his shoulder was ...... Hai Dongqing rubbed his cheek affectionately, opened his mouth and screamed silently, and then turned into a golden light and drilled into the spirit boy's body.
The spirit boy's face showed a trace of astonishment, and then he pressed his temples with both hands as if in pain, and even the originally clear figure began to blur.
What's going on?
Opal was a little confused. After all, the world here is obviously different from her normal world, and she is really at a loss for this unfamiliar rules and environment.
"Ahh
However, the sudden sound made Opal breathe a sigh of relief, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the visitor: [Miss Vivien, why are you here?] ]
"Are you...... Ah, that little one. ”
When she saw Opal, Vivien was stunned for a moment, and then reacted because of the aura on Opal's body and the way she spoke, and then explained briefly, "I felt that the teleportation array set up by Mildine was touched, so I came over to take a look." ”
[Oh.] ]
Originally, I was just wondering why Senior Sister Qianwei would light up the skill of "Everywhere", but since it was explained, Opal didn't ask any more questions.
After Vivien finished speaking, she turned to the spirit boy who was curled up in a ball, and then stretched out her hand, and an amethyst blooming rose appeared in her palm, and the spirit boy was included in the rose in the next moment, and the originally blooming rose immediately returned to the state of buds: "I didn't expect that such a thing would happen." The world says that they are loyal dogs, but they don't know that the loyalty of the falcon is definitely not less than that of the canine family. ”
[Does Miss Vivien know what's going on?] ]
Although it can be said that he watched the whole process, Opal also has to admit that he can't figure it out at all. So for Vivian, who can be called a "jack of all trades", Opal said that there is no pressure at all.
"In the legend of the flood in ancient China, the god of fire blessed the melting of the qin and the pregnancy of the qin spirit. However, because Qin's soul was incomplete, Nuwa cast a spell to give Qin Ling's most important life soul, so that Qin Ling had life. Hou Qin Ling made a mistake and caused the Tianzhu Buzhou Mountain to be destroyed and demoted, criticizing its numerology and saying: 'Widowed relatives and affection, the master of life is lonely'. After that, the soul of Qin Ling was cast into a fierce sword by the craftsman of the Longyuan tribe on the flood wilderness, and was sealed in Wumeng Ling Valley. The other two souls and three spirits traveled around the world by crossing souls to pursue the one and four souls that they were sealed. ”
After a brief introduction to the background, Vivien looked at the amethyst bud in her hand and sighed, "The young man you just saw was a young priest in the Wumeng Spirit Valley when he was young, but because of the reincarnation of the Qin Spirit, he was tragically wiped out, and he was killed at that time, and even his soul was torn apart. However, the boy's mother used a forbidden spell to pull the souls and four spirits in the ancient sword burning silence into the boy's body, although the boy was able to come back from the dead, but he lost his memory, and every time the moon was full, he had to be infected by evil qi, and the pain was unbearable. ”
[So he's going to be here, is he dead?] ]
Opal's gaze also fell on the bud in Vivien's hand, with a puzzled expression, [Looking at his appearance, it seems that he was not very old when he died, right?] Since he didn't live long, why did his mother bring him back from the dead? ]
This is incomprehensible to Opal, because for Opal, birth, old age, sickness and death are part of the cycle of life, death is death, and death is only a sign of a new beginning of life.
"Maybe it's because of responsibility?"
After briefly explaining the teenager's experience, Vivien made a final summary, "...... The life that has been cast with the forbidden spell will turn into a desolate soul and dissipate between heaven and earth after death. And this young man finally chose to let his master unlock the seal in his body, and Yu Penglai and Qin Ling fought to the death, and finally turned into a desolate soul on the body of Yu Yu, who had become a dragon. Speaking of which, I want to thank you...... Although the Great Void Flame also has the ability to purify, it will still cause damage to his soul to some extent. Far less effective than your purifying powers. ”
[The one named 'Ah Xiang' ......]
"It should be the Hai Dongqing who has always been by the boy's side, originally that Hai Dongqing has outstanding qualifications, even if it is a demon immortal, it is no problem."
At the mention of this, Vivian also seemed a little surprised, "It's just that I didn't expect that Hai Dongqing would come to this ruin with obsession, find his master again, and give up the opportunity to reincarnate and integrate his life soul into the young man's desolate soul." ”
[Soul ...... This can be done in this way ......]
Opal always felt that something was wrong.
"Although the conditions are harsh, there is still a way to convert between the desolate soul and the life soul."
Knowing what Opal was wondering about, Vivien smiled, "Otherwise, the soul will dissipate in heaven and earth after the soul power is consumed, and if the dissipated soul is not replenished, won't the soul in this world be unable to make ends meet, causing fewer and fewer people in this world?" Actually, I really didn't expect to meet this kid here, otherwise I would have come here a few years ago. ”
Only a small number of people know that the so-called "dissipated" desolate souls will follow the laws of heaven and earth and transform into new life souls, and if they are operated manually, the method is extremely harsh, and there is basically no record in the world, and those who know this method are also silent for various reasons - to survive in the world, after all, they must be bound by various laws and rules. The greater the ability, the stronger the constraint, is a fact that can only be felt when you come into contact with that level of existence.
Giving up on asking where Qianwei knew this story, Opal turned the subject in a different direction: [What is Miss Vivian going to do with this child?] ]
"Don't talk about being old-fashioned, this kid is older than you......"
Originally, she wanted to slap Opal on the head, but because of Opal's dodge, she could only fall on her shoulder, and Vivien was stunned for a moment before reacting, "I almost forgot that you were a unicorn." I'll take this kid back to the secret realm of the lake, help him adjust it and see what he thinks, and let him finish it if he can finish it. If he doesn't have any doubts, just say hello and send him to reincarnation. ”
[……]
Opal looked directly at Vivien, and his expression almost made it clear that he could write the question, "Are you really so kind?"
"I owe him a favor to Master. Before, his master asked me to help this child, but at that time, I couldn't interfere due to the Heavenly Dao Destiny, and now that the established Heavenly Destiny has been deduced, there is no problem for me to intervene again. ”
Obviously already familiar with this kind of gaze, Vivian smiled and was not angry, "There are countless capable people in the ancient Flood Wilderness Huaxia, and it is normal for me to be good friends with them. It's a pity that the Heavenly Pillar broke and the spiritual veins of Heaven and Earth were hidden after the merger of the two worlds, which made the number of cultivators decrease and the belief in gods began to run rampant in large numbers. ”
[That Ziying?] …… Or is it Ziyin Zhenren? ]
Opal, who didn't understand at all, could only grasp the questions he was interested in, [Heavenly Destiny?] Mandate of Heaven? ]
"You can count it...... A lot of things are predestined. ”
At the mention of this, Vivien's expression was slightly gloomy, and then she put away the rosebud in her hand and turned to Opal, "What would you do if it were you?" ”
[I can't say anything about other people, but ......]
Looking back at Vivien calmly, Opal's expression was determined, "I just want to stay with the person who matters most to me. ]
"Regardless of the other party's ending?"
Because of this unexpected answer, the corners of Vivien's mouth twitched slightly.
[Why should I care about this?] ]
Opal asked with a puzzled face, [Since he is the most important person, shouldn't he be by his side?] ]
"Even if the other party wants to kick you away for various reasons?"
[He's important to me is my own business, and it has nothing to do with him.] ]
Blinking, Opal didn't seem to see anything wrong with his thoughts, [Wouldn't it be nice to avoid his gaze if you didn't want me to be around?] ]
“……”
Looking at Opal with a puzzled face, Vivien silently swallowed back the sentence "This is very problematic at all" - because the other party's performance was too natural, so she was already not right, and she didn't even have a position to point this out.
Obviously, it should not be a completely incorrect idea, but the silver-haired girl standing in front of her at this moment had a firm gaze and answered without a trace of hesitation.
It seems that everything in the world has nothing to do with her, and it is pure and untainted with any filth.
made her think of her adopted son who resolutely gave up his name, made a contract with Alayah, and waited for a long time to meet again.
After opening her mouth, Vivien finally sighed and changed the subject: "What about your companions?" ”
[I don't know, I haven't run into them since I came in.] ]
Shaking his head, Opal said he was completely unaware, [Miss Vivien just said this was here?] They're not dangerous, are they? ]
"Miltingen still has this little belly, not to mention that this place can indeed be regarded as a treasure land, and a few little guys, including you, will not return empty-handed."
[I'm not interested in the treasures here.] ]
However, Opal shook his head very seriously about Vivien's words, [I just want to go back. ]
Just go back to the world where Riddle is.
"As someone said, there are no accidents in this world, only necessity."
Vivien couldn't help but smile at Opal's disapproval, "Since you've come here, you're sure you'll find something useful here." As for those little guys, you should be able to meet them soon. ”
[Got it.] ]
Although it was clear that Senior Sister Qianwei must have something to hide, Opal didn't care very much, and after looking left and right and didn't seem to have anything to do with herself, she said goodbye and left--anyway, the spirit boy she inadvertently picked up earlier had already been handed over to Senior Sister Qianwei, so she should be able to get away with it for a while...... Right?
Although Senior Sister Qianwei's style of acting seems to be unreliable, it is undeniable that after getting along with each other in the past, Opal still trusts her senior sister quite a lot, even if she has been cheated countless times intentionally or unintentionally.
Because Opal didn't feel any malice from Sister Qianwei at all, and she also knew very well that although she was careless, what Sister Qianwei did was indeed trying to make things better. Therefore, as long as it is not her and Riddle who is "sacrificed", Opal has no objection to Sister Qianwei's approach.
"I didn't notice it at first, but this little guy is really funny."
Looking at the back of Opal leaving, Vivien hooked the corners of her lips, "Look at the breath and the imprint of time and space, it should come from the 'future', right?" But this numerology is really strange enough, to be able to see it to such an extent, I am very curious about the person who raised her...... Sure, he must be a very interesting person, right? Judging by the imprint on her body...... A descendant of the Qi tribe? ”
Ahh......hhh When you think about it, you really have some expectations......
This life, which has formed a double spiral with the time and space where it was in the past, has some more unknown changes, after all, it is still something worth looking forward to, isn't it?
The so-called ...... "future".
"I don't know exactly when the future visitor will be, but there will be a time to meet again, right?"
At that time, it may have been a matter of fact.
