7. The Oath of Time
The so-called strong will is nothing but paper that will be broken as soon as the years are poked. The so-called anticipation, confusion, disappointment, and cheer up are like mountains and rivers that will be reincarnated, and the tides will rise and fall. I can fade away the dust clouds in my heart, and I can't find the heel in my hope. The beginning may not be brilliant, but at least you can pick the most beautiful answer and come to the end.
"It's been an hour, Yuan'er, is he really okay?"
Looking at the colorful ancient stones in front of him, I felt that there were all kinds of aura around me, there was restlessness, peace, agility, and sharpness, although I had seen the awakening ceremony before, and there would be visions, but such an exaggerated movement was still unprecedented.
Xianqiong was looking at the situation in front of her with curious eyes at this time, different from the people's pointing and pointing, Hu Ao and Yuan Jue's faces were now a little ugly. Awakening rituals are dangerous, and with the exception of a few rare cases, almost everyone else is unharmed, so this small risk is not taken into account compared to the great rewards.
But Tiger Proud and Yuan Jue know that Tiger Ao, as the personal guard of the Yeying Empire for generations, has seen a talented countryman die when he awakens, and the cause of death is the colorful four elephant tribulation in front of him, which is the name of the ancient period, and only a few people in the empire know about it.
If it is an ordinary awakening ceremony, it only takes as little as ten minutes, and depending on the talent, only one kind of light will bloom when awakening, and the power of the spirit beast will be attracted at that time. If the talent is different, there may be two or three more colors, the awakening time will be extended, but it will not exceed one pillar of incense, and even one of the four ancient beasts will be favored, then the aura will have its own characteristics.
In the past, the colorful four elephant tribulations appeared, and the onlookers were very excited, and the monarch was so happy that he ordered the people below to set up a banquet to celebrate, but the world was unpredictable, the banquet was set, and the congratulatory expressions were ready, but the life of the awakened was gone. For this reason, the king fell seriously ill and became the shortest-serving king in history.
There are also colorful four elephant tribulations in the back, and people are also quite hopeful, but let alone success, even those who survived, there is no case, so the colorful four elephant tribulations are also known as the death tribulation of the gifted awakened. Later, I heard that the Corona Empire also deliberately sacrificed these talented children for the sake of not wasting it, which was really miserable.
At this time, the village chief who held the ceremony was already sweating profusely, and his old body was not enough to support him for so long, but because he was the most experienced person in the city, he was allowed to come. But what I never expected was that I actually encountered the Colorful Four Elephant Tribulation!
"Iniquity!"
Yuan Jue hated to hammer down, but he didn't dare to cause too much movement, so he had to close his eyes, look at his heart, and secretly pray for a miracle. Hu Ao glanced at Xianqiong with a simple face, and couldn't bear to look over, thinking that the eldest lady was still young, and the pain would pass, and it was time for her to experience this kind of thing.
Yuan Zhu in the formation felt an indescribable pain all over his body, and there seemed to be earth-shaking changes in his body, destruction and rebirth were constantly reincarnated, but he faintly felt that the speed of destruction was faster than that of new life. But Yuan Zhu still gritted his teeth, thinking about it, as a member of the Yuan family, how could he embarrass the Yuan family, this pain can't be sustained, isn't it going to be laughed at by Xianqiong Na Nizi. And the gap between himself and her realm is too big, and she ...... I don't want to be left behind by her.
In the previous awakening ceremony, he always pestered his father and said that he wanted to come and see, whenever he saw those brothers and sisters awaken their talents, have all kinds of magical abilities, and even have a different aura, and when they arrived in the empire, they were also the pride of the city, Yuan Zhu was not envious, and he practiced hard, and secretly swore that he would have that day.
Under the shield of the aura, there were only colorful colors around him, and he couldn't see the faces of the people around him, and he didn't know how long time had passed. The ancient stone in front of me is different from the ordinary stone, if it is an ordinary stone, it is already densely covered with moss, but this ancient stone not only has no moss, but also has some incomprehensible lines. Some people have also tried to break through the ancient stone to see the structure inside, but the miraculous thing is that it is rumored that the masters of the Divine Venerable Realm have no way to take this stone.
I heard that it will be more complicated when awakening in other places, but in Yuanmian City, all you need is this ancient stone, and there is a person who knows how to awaken ritually. When activated, the aura will converge on the lines, and the patterns outlined have not been understood so far, and some people say that in the eyes of different people, the answers seen from the ancient stones are different, and some even think that these lines can communicate with the heart.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Yuan Zhu was observing this stone, from the beginning of the disorganized, one will become like a dragon's head, a phoenix's tail, one will be like a turtle's back, tiger claws, and then there will be some strange other creatures, and now it has become a formation full of Sanskrit, looking at the trend, it seems that there will be further changes.
"It's not over yet. ”
Looking at the three incense sticks that had burned out, and the more palpitating aura that emerged from that ritual, Yuan Jue could guarantee that he had never seen such a terrifying aura in his life for so long, and that this time the Colorful Four Elephant Tribulation was more powerful than any before. Yuan Jue called the interested doorman to come over and gave a few orders.
Then the doorman glanced at Yuan Jue with a strange expression, but he still didn't dare to disobey the order of the county order. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a few people and drove the surrounding people down the mountain. At first, some people complained that this awakening ceremony was so much more exciting than before, why didn't they let me see it, but after I went back, I was relieved, maybe I don't know how long it will last, so let them go back to their own business first.
After a while, there was no one on the field except for Yuan Jue, the old village chief, Hu Ao and Xianqiong.
"County Zun, I'm also going to take the eldest lady back, if there is fate, let's talk about it again. ”
Yuan Jue glanced at Hu Ao and nodded, he was in a bad mood now, and it was inconvenient to keep him.
"No, Grandpa Tiger, I'm going to wait for Yuan Zhu to come out, we have made an appointment to have a martial arts competition when he awakens, as the princess of the Yeying Empire, how can I break my promise?"
Seeing that Hu Ao was going to take him away, Xianqiong frowned, and she didn't know what method she used to appear on the other side.
Hu Ao frowned, glanced at Yuan Jue, and it was inconvenient to say it clearly.
"Miss, this place is not suitable for a long time, please go back with your subordinates. ”
"If you take me back now, I'll report to my father that you sneaked me out of the palace, and you know what will happen to you!"
The ghost of Hu Ao suddenly appeared in the place where Xianqiong was just standing, and she was about to grab Xianqiong's arm, when suddenly Xianqiong disappeared in place and appeared next to the ancient stone, and at this time, there were a few more drops of crystal sweat on her fair forehead.
"What kind of body is this, even I can't see through it. ”
Seeing the confrontation between the two next to him, Hu Ao's talent is still understandable, but what Xianqiong shows is only at first glance, and it is difficult to touch the traces.
However, at this time, the ancient stone's side suddenly fluctuated violently, and the powerful spiritual qi was so suppressed that even Hu Ao could not mobilize his vitality, let alone capture the immortal qiong next to the ancient stone.
And in front of Yuan Zhu's eyes, the formation on the ancient stone changed to the end, turning into a strange sword, the hilt of the sword looked like a demon, exuding a strong black gas, which made Yuan Zhu feel uncomfortable, and the sword body was the Sanskrit in the formation just now, and the divine breath suppressed the discomfort. And the magic sword was about to move, as if it was about to come out of the stone.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the village chief suddenly collapsed, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he could no longer raise his strength, and closed his eyes.
"Not good!"
Yuan Jue immediately got up and wanted to continue to transmit spiritual power instead of the village chief, but the powerful spiritual power flow was so powerful that he couldn't take a step forward.
Seeing Yuan Jue's appearance, Xianqiong also understood the current situation, and looked at Yuan Zhu's direction stupidly, but soon, his eyes became resolute, he bit his lower lip, and his body moved, and even Hu Ao didn't have time to stop it, and continued to support the ceremony with the meager internal force of his small body.
Suddenly, the light of the ancient stone shone brightly, obscuring everyone's vision, accompanied by the roars of the four different beasts, like the roar of a dragon, like the roar of a phoenix, like the roar of a turtle, like the roar of a tiger, and the cries of other beasts in bits and pieces.
In the light, Yuan Zhu opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was Xianqiong's increasingly transparent figure.
"No!"
Due to the fall of the village chief, for a moment Yuan Zhu saw the situation outside clearly, and in the end, Xianqiong's action also surprised him. Although Yuan Zhu didn't know much, she also knew that Xianqiong was trying to save him, and she couldn't bear the price of saving him at all. It's such a girl who has met a few times in just a few years, and she doesn't have time to say a lot of words, and it seems that she is about to disappear from his eyes.
I don't know why, he felt as if something in his chest was very painful, painful, and it hurt, just like that year, even the red eyes couldn't stop the tears from falling.
And the fairy-like girl in front of him still looked at him so gently, just as she did when she first met, her tender little hands wiped away his tears and caressed his cheeks.
"Don't be sad, I'm not going to die, it's just an experience for me, if time permits, we'll meet again, because my talent is time......"
