Chapter 32: Why Don't You Call the Shots (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Late)
Li Tian led Song Zhiyi all the way to the bottom of the stone pillar, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was none other than the senior brother on the cloud steps. And the little junior sister also happened to be under the stone pillar, and she didn't notice the two people behind her.
On the contrary, Shen Wuyu, who was on the cloud steps, saw the two of them first, and fell from the cloud steps in surprise and returned to the ground, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't speak, he must have shouted excitedly.
Shen Lingyin also realized something, turned his head, and saw the two people he hadn't seen for a long time, but he saw the hands of the two holding each other, and felt uncomfortable in his heart for no reason. Without leaking color, the little junior sister trotted all the way into Song Zhiyi's arms, so that the hands that the two had been holding were suddenly released.
Senior Sister Song rubbed the little junior sister's little head, Shen Lingyin also smiled, turned her head in the senior sister's arms, and made a grimace at Li Tian.
Li Tian, who suffered from the "unjustified disaster", looked dazed, and didn't know what the little junior sister meant, but since the four of them finally got together, it was a good thing to make people feel at ease.
Senior Brother naturally couldn't fly into Li Tian's arms like Ling'er, walked in front of Li Tian and Song Zhiyi, patted Li Tian's shoulder, and looked much more relaxed.
Since they couldn't speak, they couldn't learn from Senior Brother and Little Junior Sister where they had gone, what they had encountered, and they couldn't understand Shen Wuyu's feelings when he ascended the Heavenly Cloud Steps.
This was also the only thing that worried him a little when Li Tian saw the senior brother and the junior sister, according to his speculation last night, there was probably something wrong with the Tongtian Cloud Steps. But he couldn't ask the senior brother if he felt anything now, and it was difficult for him to tell them the information he had obtained.
The four of them finally had to reunite, but they couldn't ask or say anything due to the rules of Baisha City. Li Tian just gestured with his finger at the Tongtian Cloud Steps, shook his head at the senior brother, and signaled him not to try again. Shen Wuyu saw that Li Tian's expression was extremely solemn, and he also nodded.
Later, the senior brother and the junior sister also moved to live near the residence of Li Tian and the senior sister, because they couldn't enter other people's houses and couldn't speak, it was difficult for the four of them to communicate how to get out of here and what to do next.
Of course, if you want to settle in White Sands City, then as long as you never break the rules and don't climb the cloud steps, the four of you will never encounter any accidents. But there is no doubt that if you want to leave, there is only one way to go, but last night's scene made him have a great fear of Tongtian Cloud Steps, and he would not consider it if he rushed to it, and the whole situation seemed to be in a stalemate.
It was also when he was frowning and thinking about the problem that Li Tian felt a hand on his shoulder again.
Senior sister came to scare me again, Li Tian thought to herself, accustomed to Song Zhiyi's elusive way of greeting, Li Tian was also a little paralyzed.
He turned his head, only to find that the hand on his shoulder looked dark and dry, like rotten wood, which made Li Tian's heartbeat suddenly accelerate, and when he looked up, he found that it was the old man he had met in front of the wooden house.
"Haven't we met, young man?" What made Li Tian even more shocked was that this old man actually spoke! His nerves tensed instantly, for fear that the old man in front of him would turn into a skeleton lying on the ground scattered all over the ground in the next second.
The attention of the other three was also attracted, except for Senior Sister Song, who was light and breezy every day, Shen Wuyu and Shen Lingyin, the two brothers and sisters were obviously full of shocked looks, and the little junior sister almost screamed, and was tightly covered by Shen Wuyu.
But after a long time, the expected or envisaged punishments did not appear, and the old man asked even more suspiciously, "What's wrong with you, why don't you speak?" ”
Although I don't know why the old man is not punished, whether it is because the important rules of Baisha City have lost their binding power, Li Tian does not dare to take risks after all. He pointed to his mouth and made another cross, trying to show that he was not capable of speaking.
The old man's eyes were suddenly full of sympathy, he looked at the other three again, and the senior brother also quickly learned to make a gesture that could not speak, and Ling'er was the same, Senior Sister Song...... Still unmoved, probably because he felt that the three of them had made gestures, and he was no longer necessary.
The old man's sympathetic expression became even stronger, he sighed and shook his head, "Alas, they are all poor children, they all look quite well-behaved, how can they all be dumb, God doesn't call the shots." ”
The old man touched Li Tian's head, and the pity in his eyes even made Li Tian feel like a begging child, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, but it was difficult to refuse anything.
"Why don't you all come with me and go to my house. You think it's been a hard time, alas, God doesn't call the shots. The old man took Li Tian's little hand, beckoned to the other three, and hobbled in the direction of Central Avenue.
The four of them made brief eye contact, and Li Tian followed the old man's pace. Apparently the old man in front of him had brought important information to break the game, he was able to speak, and he said that he was going to take four people to his house, and it was likely that his house could be used by others. It's just that these seemingly special places bring information that is not clear enough and needs to be further confirmed. Whether the key rules of this Baisha City have existed in name only, or whether this old man is different, it still needs to be verified.
But when the old man walked slowly through the ring road of the residential area and came to the central avenue, he stopped. Li Tian also looked at the old man's rickety back with some confusion, not knowing what was happening.
The old man turned around and touched his gray hair, his face full of apologies, "I'm sorry, I forgot where my house is." I'm old, my memory is not good, I have forgotten many things I have done, and God doesn't call the shots for me. ”
Li Tian clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, indicating that he did not blame the old man, but a different color did flash in his eyes.
The words "God doesn't call the shots" appeared in almost every sentence of the old man, which had to make Li Tian pay special attention. In particular, the word "God" touched Li Tian's sensitive nerves.
Why does an old man who can't remember where his home is, always repeat such a sentence. If "God" is the will of God, "God does not call the shots" means...... Providence doesn't call the shots?
Reminiscent of the scene he saw last night, the residents of Baisha City were like "believers", kneeling around the Tongtian Cloud Steps, as if they had received a great gift under the faint light of the Tongtian Cloud Steps. If the situation in Baisha City is set by Providence, what is the purpose of Providence in doing this.
Now the old man's words are likely to be a reminder: Providence does not call the shots, and it is likely to mean that the bureau of Baisha City is no longer the dictator of Providence.
Li Tian felt a little creepy, remembering that he and Chen Yuanran had speculated that the Heavenly Providence sent down a thunderbolt to kill all the powerhouses above the Heavenly Xuanmen and the True Knowledge Concept, most likely because of the arrival of the two of them. So when I came to Baisha City, could it be that so many changes have taken place are also the arrangements of Providence...... Li Tian really couldn't understand these questions.
The old man seemed to be able to see through Li Tian's thoughts, and his hoarse voice squeezed out of his throat, "Do you want to leave here?" ”
Li Tian's thoughts were broken by the old man, and he suddenly woke up and nodded again and again.
The old man was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he speak, "I left from that step......"
Leave?!
Li Tian looked back in amazement and found that the expressions of the senior brother and the junior sister were the same as his own.
For so many years, there has been only one person who has left the White Sand Sea, and if the old man hadn't made a mistake in his memory, then his identity would probably be clear.
Li Tian frantically looked up his memory, and for a while, he couldn't really remember the name of the person who walked out. It wasn't until he recalled that Li Zhiyi had read Bai Shahai's books that he finally remembered the old man's name.
Xie Huai'an!
…………
Xie Huai'an, who made a white flame in one hand, known as the White Emperor, was the first genius hundreds of years ago, and it only took twenty-five years to achieve the Tianhe Realm, and he was known as the genius who was most likely to become the Tianyi Realm in the post-golden age.
Xie Huai'an has no sect, he has always been a casual cultivator, when he entered people's field of vision, he was already twenty years old, stepped into the Star Realm, and rescued a casual cultivator from several Tianhe Realm elders in the Demon Sealing Valley, and became famous all over the world.
Although he is known as a first-day genius, he is never arrogant and humble. Many people are grateful for his kindness, but there are also many who hate him, such as the Sealed Demon Valley.
When Xie Huai'an was twenty-six years old, he had almost reached the peak of his prestige, everyone thought that he would become the next Tianyi Realm, and his enemies naturally would not let him grow up, and they arranged a joint ambush and dispatched four True Ten Tianhe, such a battle could almost overturn any of the eight major sects.
But he was still run away by Xie Huai'an, and he ran into the sea of white sand, a place that no one had ever walked out of.
There were even two True Realm powerhouses who chased them into the White Sand Sea, but none of them came out.
In the event that everyone thought that Xie Huai'an and his enemies had died in the White Sand Sea, one day ten years later, Xie Huai'an successfully walked out, which shocked the entire Dongxuan Continent.
It's just that Xie Huai'an lost his mystical power, and he also lost the memory of how to leave Baishahai, he became an ordinary person, even if he searched for souls, he couldn't find any clues, he only knew that Baishahai could enter and live, but he couldn't leave.
Xie Huai'an was finally protected by many forces favored by him, and despite the many enemies, Xie Huai'an lost his strength and memory and became an ordinary person, no longer of any value, and they still chose not to go to war with these forces. It was also from then on that Xie Huai'an, a generation of Tianjiao White Emperor, bid farewell to the stage of the cultivation realm.
And now, he actually returned to Baisha City and appeared in front of Li Tian and the four of them. Xie Huai'an was not bound by the rules, perhaps because he had climbed the altar on the clouds and left the white sand sea?
In front of him was a legendary figure who was once famous all over the world, Li Tian was not excited, but more jealous. Li Tian had observed Xie Huai'an's body, and there was indeed no fluctuation of Xuan power, of course, it could be that the realm was much higher than his own, so he couldn't see it.
If Xie Huaian really became an ordinary person, his lifespan should only be about 100 years at most, and how did he live until now? Li Tian couldn't figure it out, so he believed that Xie Huai'an was hiding it.
If this is the case, what is the purpose of his contact with the four of them?
Xie Huai'an didn't notice the change in Li Tian's expression, he looked at the Tongtian Cloud Steps, suddenly showed a bitter face, hugged his head in pain and said, "But...... I always felt like it was better not to go up. ”
"Don't go up to ......"
"Don't ......"
"Don't ......"
Xie Huai'an repeated the sentence "don't" in his mouth, his face became more and more hideous, and Li Tian didn't dare to do anything, so he could only watch him from afar and his voice slowly became smaller, and he stopped making a sound.
What really happened hundreds of years ago? Li Tian's confusion in his heart became more and more confused, and he really didn't know whether he was close to the answer.
"Why?!" Xie Huai'an suddenly raised his head and roared at the four of them.
"Why don't you call the shots for me!"
