Chapter 140: History and Origin (4)
"The Two-Bladed Mountain is our last barrier, even if the Holy Grass Realm will cease to exist, we still need to bury our bones on that last battlefield. The old woman said firmly.
The Millennium Key looked sadly into the distance, in the direction where the Two-Bladed Mountain was located, which could not be seen out of sight, "The village chief of the Holy Grass sacrificed himself to protect everyone from the past war, and this is the reason why you can survive intact." His contribution is not for you to die. ”
Twoblade Mountain... Two-Bladed City, the name of this place, Ye Qingmian was very sure that he had indeed heard of it, but his memory was not so clear. When Ye Qingmian was recalling, Hua Ori became more and more nervous because of Ye Qingmian's thoughts.
"Is there any way you can stop him from remembering?" Hua Ori conveyed the thought to She Xuan.
However, before She Xuan could react, Hua Zhi and She Xuan saw a fragment in Ye Qingmian's memory at the same time.
First Theater of Operations. The real world. Hangtown. Spiritual contemplation.
A small Taoist priest set up a stall to tell fortunes, and Ye Qingmian, Guan Sang, Hua Weaving, and Xianyue were surrounded in front.
Hua Zhi was about to pick up the pen and write for the little Taoist priest in front of him to test, but the latter took the lead in chanting a hexagram poem.
"Timoranti and Ti Sheng, the golden black and jade rabbits do not meet. Tonghui is only afraid that the stars will be chaotic and cause disaster in the two-bladed city of reincarnation. ”
Ye Qingmian remembered! Hua Weaving's nervous emotions began to infect She Xuan, this little poem may be a little difficult for people who don't know the inside story, but She Xuan felt that if the secret that Hua Weaving told her was true, then Ye Qingmian sounded at this time It was definitely not a good thing.
"That little Taoist priest is really not simple. Ye Qingmian fell into deep thought and began to analyze every sentence, "Timoranti is the flower of life and death, and only one flower can bloom in the end. The golden crow represents the sun, the jade rabbit represents the moon, and the sun and the moon will not shine together. It's one of the two... What the hell is he implying ...?"
"Maybe that little Taoist priest is just playing tricks, using a few mysterious things from the legend of the gods, with a little real fact to confuse you. Hua Ori immediately conveyed her thoughts, trying to make Ye Qingmian stop thinking, "As long as you go along with the time, all the secrets will be revealed, and you don't have to worry about it." ”
"He's not talking nonsense. Ye Qingmian replied in the affirmative, "At that time, we had just known each other, and I probably didn't mention it to you, I had woken up in a dream for a month and received a note that said, 'Save the rain'." Later, I learned the name Qingcheng Yutian, but I didn't know who she was, and I didn't know that you were actually her. However... I don't know if you still remember the hexagram that the little Taoist priest calculated for me?"
The calyx butterflies are gradually lacking,
The end of the world warms the black crow.
The tenderness of the rain will always be, bury the dust and sand.
The sky is lonely and cold, and the clouds are lonely,
She was in the fog of the boundless mountains.
How much hatred did I dream of in my previous life, Ye Feihua.
Hua Zhi also recalled the hexagram poem that Lingzhou Jitian gave to Ye Qingmian, and she was a little skeptical, whether Lingzhou Jitian originally wanted to write the last three words as 'Ye Feihua?'
"Looks like you're remembering. Ye Qingmian continued to recall in his mind, "He said immediately after that, 'I have a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but I don't know each other. He already knew who you were and told me in a subtle way. So I believe that he is definitely not a man of false promises. ”
"Perhaps.." She Xuan conveyed her thoughts, "He may be implying that only one of the two of them, Qiyu and Bai Didi, has successfully ascended to the dimension in the end, and there is absolutely no possibility of coexistence, and the Two Blades City may be the origin of the contradiction or the place of the final battle?"
Regarding She Xuan's explanation, Hua Zhi couldn't wait to hug her immediately.
"Could that be the case, but what does that have to do with Hua Weaving?" Ye Qingmian thought about it in She Xuan's direction, and at the same time had new doubts.
"Maybe the power of Huaweaving or Qingcheng Rainy Day will become the key to the victory or defeat of the two of them?" She Xuan swore that she really didn't want to lie to Ye Qingmian, but now that it was difficult to ride a tiger, she could only continue to make it up.
Feeling Ye Qingmian's somewhat agreeing emotions, Hua Zhi and She Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the Holy Grass Realm that turned into scorched earth, the Millennium Key looked around and carefully looked at everyone's faces, "You chose to go to the Two Blades Mountain to fight, it can be said that you are the ultimate fearless, but the pursuit of death is not courage, but escape!
The voice of the Millennium Key was hoarse, and it did not have a deafening momentum, but it debunked these desperate last self-deceptions.
"What else can we do but die?" said a tall middle-aged man with a blank look in his eyes.
"The village chief and I have long been aware that the past is beginning to be rewritten, but we are powerless to fight it. But in recent years, we have not been sitting still waiting for trial. The thousand-year-old key's gaze began to sharpen, "Ladies and gentlemen, our race has been infinitely close to the higher dimensional level, but that layer of diaphragm as thin as a cicada's wings is as hard as iron, and no one can break through. But in the long run, we have also mastered some of the application methods of that level of ability. Maybe we could..."
"Lord Priest, if you have any way, just say it. ”
The Millennium Key took a deep breath, "We can strip away the space near the Twoblade Mountain, bending time there into a closed loop. ”
"Are you crazy, old thing?!" someone scolded, "The warriors of the Two Blades Mountain are making the last resistance for our homeland, each of them is a hero, a monument worthy of our eternal memory, you want to trap them to death?!"
Now, the Millennium Key no longer cares about reputation, ignoring the man's scolding, and continued, "The enemy there is also trapped and killed, if the Two Blades Mountain is destined to be lost, at least their sacrifice has damaged a large part of the opponent's strength. If the Two Blades Mountain can win in the end, then they will at least leave a legacy and hope for the Holy Grass Realm in the closed loop of time. ”
"But our enemies are beings at that level, they can change the past, they can forcibly graft history that does not belong to us and interfere with the present, what a terrifying ability. How can a mere closed-loop time stop them?"
Tears flowed again on the face of the thousand-year-old key, "They won't." ”
The old man on crutches said slowly, "For there is nothing that pleases the hater more than eternal captivity." ”
"It's fragile protection, but it's a strong cage. I'm afraid that our people won't mind that there are some people who may have a chance to survive. After the Millennium Key finished speaking, he felt that all his strength had been drained, "I need your help to complete this, so dying in battle is not a choice I want you to make." ”
Ye Qingmian couldn't help but admire the courage of the Millennium Key, but he was not optimistic about his approach, "This old thing is indeed crazy." He may not have understood what a closed loop of time would bring. ”
"Isn't he right?" asked She Xuan.
"In the time of the closed loop, neither the people of the Two Blades Mountain, nor their enemies, will die in a real sense. This reminded Ye Qingmian of the infinite 24 hours he had experienced in the circular world, where time would loop indefinitely in a certain fragment, the dead would be resurrected, and the living would be immortal.
Ye Qingmian understood the idea of the Millennium Key, but it did not prevent him from concluding that it was a bad idea. People who are not imprisoned by time cannot experience that eternal despair, and the endless cycle will make people break down spiritually, collapse their faith, and finally become a walking dead with the characteristics of life.
However, as a bystander, neither Ye Qingmian nor the Millennium Crown had the right to speak, for the sake of the so-called hope, the idea of the Millennium Key was accepted, but a small piece of history after that seemed to be missing, and the next few fragments were directly skipped.
When Ye Qingmian returned to the sideline perspective again, it seemed that the isolation of the Two Blades Mountain had been completed, and the kite in the Holy Grass Realm seemed to be over.
There were few living people to be found in the silent world, and no other creatures could hear any more sounds except for the survivors of the Holy Grass Village. The Millennium Key and the others wandered on a barren blood-colored land, waiting for hunger and death, but they did not feel the exhaustion and fatigue of physical strength, as if their physical state was constant at a certain moment.
At the same time, another suspicion arose, and they found that the bodies of the dead had never decomposed, as if they had only fallen asleep, but could not be awakened by any means.
"Confused, right?" A mesmerizing female voice came, and the Thousand Year Key and the others followed the sound to see that it was a beautiful woman who had never seen before.
At the moment when the woman appeared, She Xuan and Hua Zhi felt Ye Qingmian's strong thought fluctuations at the same time, and countless chaotic information popped out of his brain like a cosmic explosion.
"Ye Qingmian?!What's wrong?!" Kaori asked anxiously.
She Xuan and Hua Weaving worked hard to read Ye Qingmian's thoughts, and finally saw the root of the instantaneous abnormality in his thinking from the already vague memory. The woman who appeared in front of the Millennium Key and the others turned out to be exactly the same as Ye Qingmian's mother.
"Who are you?!" asked the Millennium Key, standing vigilantly and blocking the crowd behind him.
"You've already guessed, so why bother. The woman chuckled and pointed to the incorruptible living dead not far away, "They're all alive, and they're alive and well." ”
"What did you do to them? What the hell do you want to do? Just because of a thief girl, you have to kill them all before you stop?!"
"Eh, when did I want to kill you all? On the contrary, in order to make up for the mistakes of the Seven Fish, we have given immortality to a realm of beings. They, and the future ones, will live forever and eternally, without having to experience the pain of death and the loss of memory, and enjoy an endless life just like a high-dimensional life. Shouldn't you thank us for our kindness and gifts?" the woman smiled ghostly, but with a hint of cruelty and gloom.
"What the hell are you talking about. ”
"I mean, you will accept the reversal of reality and dreams, and live carefree in your dreams for eternity. The woman smiled and snapped her fingers, and the crisp voice made the Millennium Key and the others instantly switch time and space, and returned to the sacred grass village where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. There was peace and order, as if time had gone back in time, when war and death had not yet come.
This huge change made everyone feel like a dream, and even began to wonder if what they had experienced before was real, whether the Holy Grass Realm had really turned into scorched earth, did the invasion really exist, and where was it real?
Every grass and tree, brick and tile in Shengcao Village is exactly the same as in the memory of the millennium, and even the small objects hidden on the roof are still there. The millennium looked at his father in confusion, hoping to get an answer, but the latter was the same as his performance.
It wasn't until the woman appeared in front of everyone again that everyone woke up, and it turned out that the nightmare had really happened. The woman was suspended in mid-air, and an illusory ancient tree could be faintly seen behind her, the shape and aura of which was just like the one on the strokes of the Millennium Temple.
"The Erosion of the Millennial Tree..."The Millennial Key stared at the phantom behind the woman, trying to find her connection to the mural. But the woman didn't continue to communicate with them.
The shadow of the tree behind the woman seemed to have life, penetrating the space and rooting the roots into the body of the Millennium Key and others, "Those of you who can avoid being confused by dreams and know the truth are the ones who are directly involved in killing the Qiyu." I hope you can always be awake and painful, living in this dream. ”
Next, the millennium crown felt the ninefold shackles imprinted in the depths of his soul. First, the right to die is denied. Second, it deprives the right to inheritance. Third, the right to sleep is denied. Fourth, it strengthens the emotion. Fifth, it strengthens memory. Sixth, it strengthens perception. The seventh path locks the dimension. The eighth path locks in the bad luck. The ninth path locks the speed of time.
"Can you feel the beauty of the coming eternal life?" The woman's body began to fade and disappear, but the cold smile was forever imprinted in everyone's hearts.
"Is this a punishment?" She Xuan was a little surprised at the leniency of this punishment.
"Count. Hua Wei was shocked by the scene in front of her, and only responded to She Xuan after a long time, "This is a punishment that seems to be beautiful at first glance, but it will become more and more painful as time goes by, this method is simply... Simply..."
Hua Zhi pondered for a long time and couldn't figure out what it was, because the woman was very likely to be Ye Qingmian's mother or at least had a great connection, so she had to pay attention to the wording.
"It's magnificent. Ye Qingmian added.
Unlike the Millennium Key and others, Ye Qingmian is in a good mood now, perhaps because he saw his mother again, or because his intuition told him that she was still alive. "The secrets and past of Shengcao Village, I'm afraid that even the previous controllers don't know about it. This lime recipe is not simple. ”
She Xuan and Hua Zhi did not respond, because in their opinion, Ye Qingmian's background was even more difficult.
