Chapter 30: Keep everything here in mind
"I said we would leave together, but you didn't agree, but in the end you threw me out alone・・・・・・ Tiger Spirit God, what are you thinking?!"
Lying in front of the protective shield, his nails sinking deep into the flesh, Fang Yan's clenched fists trembled slightly.
From the perspective of the tiger spirit, such a choice is undoubtedly the most suitable. If the monk is released, of course the Tiger Spirit God himself can survive, but the monk will one day bring people to steal the power of the four gods that the Tiger Spirit God has been guarding, which the Tiger Spirit God cannot bear. Therefore, locking the monks in the temple was the only option for the Tiger Spirit God.
Since he decided to imprison the monks here, the Tiger Spirit God, who was tasked with protecting the power of the four gods, could not watch the enemy wreak havoc in his holy land but was indifferent, and finally chose to stay, even if he couldn't change anything, he could be regarded as fulfilling his duty and having a clear conscience.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Tiger Spirit God, both himself and the monk must stay here.
As for Fang Yan, it had nothing to do with the Four Beasts Spirit God, and he shouldn't be involved. Fang Yan is the benefactor of the Tiger Spirit God, and although they have been together for a short time, the two have already regarded each other as friends, and the Tiger Spirit God feels that Fang Yan should not be dragged into the water, so he sent Fang Yan out at the last moment, and entrusted his child to Fang Yan.
This is also the only thing that the Tiger Spirit God can do.
Standing in the position of the Tiger Spirit God, this approach is the best, and under empathy, Fang Yan will also make the same choice as the Tiger Spirit God.
However, understandable does not mean that it can be forgiven.
This kind of drama similar to the hope of teammates dying at a crisis moment in the novel is left to the protagonist, and when Fang Yan is really born, Fang Yan can understand that mood.
In the face of this situation, the first strong emotion is by no means the joy of surviving, but the guilt and pain of a companion who died and secretly lived. The current Fang Yan is in this mood.
"No, I want to be calm! Calm down! Holding his head in his hands, telling himself again and again to calm down, Fang Yan's mood finally gradually calmed down, his eyes looked inside, and countless complicated thoughts flashed in his eyes.
"Wait! Wrong! After calming down, Fang Yan suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and raised his head to look at the closed gate of the temple with a shocked gaze. There, it was eerily quiet.
Fang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of thought flashed in his eyes. If Fang Yan's estimation was correct, it had been nearly ten minutes since the monks had chased the Tiger Spirit God into the temple before, but now there was nothing alive・・・・・・ was this normal?
At least in Fang Yan's opinion, it was quite wrong.
The temple is so big that there is nowhere to hide. According to the exhibition of things, it won't take long for the monks to get rid of the Tiger Spirit God after catching up with her, even if they want to force the Tiger Spirit God to open the protective shield, such a long time should be over, because the Tiger Spirit God's attitude is quite resolute, and there will be no intention of letting go. Then according to common sense, the monk will definitely come out once after dealing with the Tiger Spirit God, and at least he will have to say a cruel word to Fang Yan, right?
"Could it be that he has some kind of special method that can directly control the Tiger Spirit God, and now he is using this secret method?" This kind of thought was only passed through in Fang Yan's mind once before he ruled it out, without him, it was really that this type of secret method or skill was too rare and profound, and no matter how you looked at it, it was not something that a person of the level of a monk could master.
"Or is it something he has appeared in the temple?" After thinking about it carefully, only this kind of thinking is more reasonable, after all, there are not a lot of materials stored on the bookshelf over there, Fang Yan just flipped through a few of them, maybe the monk found what he needed in those books.
However, Fang Yan still had a trace of fantasy in his heart: "Although there may only be less than one in 10,000 chances, if the Tiger Spirit God still has any hole cards・・・・・・
A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, although he knew that he was deceiving himself, Fang Yan would rather do so. Now he can't do anything, just wait here quietly.
Time passes minute by minute.
Every moment, Fang Yan is an unspeakable torment.
Wandering in uneasiness, as if waiting for the final result, it is like a trial.
After enduring it like this for nearly twenty minutes, Fang Yan's heart trembled when the temple door slowly opened and one foot stepped out of it. He was afraid, afraid to see the kind of outcome that he had long predicted, but he subconsciously focused his gaze there.
However, when the figure revealed its entire body, Fang Yan was stunned.
Subconsciously stretched out his hand and pointed at the person who appeared in the temple, Fang Yan's face was full of disbelief: "・・・・・・ Udil?!" ”
That's right, the person who came out of the temple was none other than Udier, whom the monks had been looking for and which Fang Yan had never seen at all in the world at the bottom of the lake. However, at this moment, Udil seems to be a little different, but Fang Yan can't say what the difference is, it's just a simple intuition.
After walking out of the temple gate, Udir didn't make any extra moves, and walked straight in the direction of Fang Yan, his pace was fast but gave people a very steady feeling. Standing still not far from Fang Yan, he didn't see any movement from Udil, and the protective shield suddenly disappeared. Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and walked in quickly, and asked aloud at the same time, "Udil, why are you here?" ”
"Let's go inside." With a simple sentence, and without any extra emotion in his words, Udir turned and left. A look of doubt flashed in his eyes, Fang Yan gritted his teeth and followed.
Walking into the gate of the temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the body of the Tiger Spirit God lying in front of the statue, and the statue is full of vitality beams of light shining on the body of the Tiger Spirit God, but the body does not show the slightest vitality. Fang Yan walked over quickly and squatted beside him, only to see that most of the Tiger Spirit God's body was eroded by the black of her abdomen before, and her body looked shriveled and stiff, and she could barely even feel her breath, as if she was dead.
Fortunately, Udil's words behind him alleviated Fang Yan's worries: "She didn't die, she just fell into a state of suspended animation." ”
"What exactly was born? How did you end up here and seem to have changed? How could the Tiger Spirit God become like this? And where is that monk now? Glancing at the Tiger Spirit God with concern, Fang Yan turned his head to Udil and asked a series of questions, eager to solve the doubts in his heart.
The attitude seemed a little cold, and Udir replied in a nonchalant tone: "You are qualified to know the truth. As soon as I entered the world at the bottom of the lake, I was attracted by a certain sound, and my body came here involuntarily. ”
As he spoke, Udir pointed to the place where the Tiger Spirit God was lying, stepped on the ground and said, "Below here, is the inheritance place of the Four Beast Spirit Gods. There was a certain will that prevented me from resisting, so I went in there and accepted the inheritance. ”
Fang Yan immediately thought of what he had talked to the Tiger Spirit God before. The great change in Udier's personality is precisely the reason for the spiritual problems caused by the resistance during the last inheritance, and now after the repair of the complete inheritance, Udier's character has been restored to its original state, and because it has received a lot of knowledge and memory fragments, compared to Udir back then, the current Udir is more calm and insightful.
Sighing slightly in his heart, knowing that the Udir in front of him was no longer the friend he was familiar with and could joke and play with him, Fang Yan couldn't help but feel a little difficult to let go of in his heart. But it was also difficult to talk about this matter, so Fang Yan sighed secretly in his heart, waiting for Udil's next words.
"When I was about to finish receiving the inheritance, I knew about the life above, the Tiger Spirit God wanted to open the portal to the inheritance land, and risked borrowing the remnants of the four beast spirit gods to destroy the enemy, but before I could make a move, I was defeated and seriously injured, and the alien energy in my body spread explosively, and my body became what it is now."
"After that, I came out after accepting the inheritance, destroyed the enemy, and went to you after settling the Tiger Spirit God, and the rest of the matter is needless to say." After speaking, Udir looked at Fang Yan expressionlessly.
"That's the case・・・・・・" Fang Yan touched the stiff back of the Tiger Spirit God, and his teeth inadvertently bit his lips, overflowing a little scarlet. Udil's words were simple, but Fang Yan could imagine the danger・・・・・・ which exacerbated the pain in his heart.
"Before she passed out completely, she asked me to tell you a word." After a moment's pause, Udir continued.
"Tell Elsa that to be strong, the world of tigers doesn't need tears, all they need is sharp minions. Protect yourself, protect what you cherish in your heart, and don't let yourself be left with regrets. ”
"Fang Yan, although we have been together for a short time, I am very happy to have a friend like you, and I hope you can live happily forever. Also, take care of Elsa. ”
After Udil finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yan silently.
"Hehe, it's really a bastard, it's too irresponsible to throw the little guy to me like this, right? Don't pretend to be asleep, get me up! Just like a joke before, he patted the stiff back of the tiger spirit god, Fang Yan put on a speechless look to hide his face and laughed, laughing happily, but there was a trace of unknown crystal from the corner of his eye.
Fang Yan was still patting the back of the Tiger Spirit God, but he couldn't get any response. In the temple, only Fang Yan's chuckle was still echoing, and it looked particularly out of place in the Temple of Tranquility.
Long.
"Maybe one day, she'll wake up." Udir spoke suddenly, still with an expressionless expression on his face, as if he didn't care about everything in front of him.
Interrupted by the sudden words, Fang Yan was stunned, and quietly wiped his eyes with his back to Udil. Standing up as if he had made up some kind of determination, Fang Yan looked back at Udil and showed a bright smile: "Okay, now that the matter here is over, I should also leave." ”
"I'll send you."
"Aren't you leaving?"
"I'm going to stay and guard this place."
"Well, that's what a Guardian does, I know." The corners of his mouth hooked a trace of arc, Fang Yan turned his head to look at Udil, and his eyes revealed a complicated meaning: "Finally, no matter whether you have forgotten everything before, I still have to say it to you." ”
"You, Udil, will always be a friend recognized by our Yan." Giving a thumbs up to Udil, Fang Yan's eyes narrowed with a smile, and his teeth seemed to be a little shiny.
Udir stared at Fang Yan expressionlessly, without any response.
Fang Yan smiled and stopped talking. The two of them walked outside one after the other, and Udil stretched out his hand upward, and a moment later, a bubble a full height of a man emerged from the lake above, and slowly came to the two of them. At Udil's signal, Fang Yan burrowed into the bubble with a look of novelty and sighing. Then the bubbles slowly rose with Fang Yan, rising towards the sky-like lake above.
In the rising bubbles, Fang Yan waved his hand at Udil below.
Udir was silent. For a long time, until Fang Yan's figure disappeared from Udil's field of vision, the expression on his face suddenly showed a hint of emotion.
"I haven't forgotten the barbecue・・・・・・ ・・・・・・" With a complicated look in his eyes, Udir smiled for the first time after recovering his memory, with a hint of nostalgia in his smile.
"What the Tiger Spirit God said to you is also what I want to say. Fang Yan, although we have been together for a short time, I am very happy to have a friend like you, and I hope you can live happily forever. ”
Turning around, he slowly walked towards the temple with his steps: "Fang Yan, I have a mission and responsibilities that I must complete, and I can't accompany you anymore, I'm sorry." Now I am no longer the wild man Udir who doesn't know anything and can accompany you on your adventures and barbecue. ”
"I am, the beast spirit walker who harnesses the beast spirit, Udir!" Between the movements, four completely different beast roars faintly came out, and Udir's figure disappeared at the door of the temple.
Of course, Fang Yan didn't know what Udil said later, at this moment, he had already drilled out of the blue lake with the bubbles and returned to the shore.
The moment his footsteps landed, a line of sight swept towards this side, and Fang Yan lowered his head to look at him, speechless.
After a while, Fang Yan squeezed out a smiling face, squatted down and beckoned to Elsa in front of him: "Little guy, you can live with me in the future." ”
Elsa shouted at Fang Yan "Ahhh Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he hugged Elsa in his arms, and the eyes of one man and one tiger intersected.
Some didn't dare to look at Elsa's eyes, Fang Yan leaned his head on her back and said in a low voice: "Little Elsa, listen to me, your mother has gone far~ far away, and she can't come back for the time being." She's worried about you, so please ask me to take care of you, and you can live with me in the future, okay? ”
"Ahh Ahh Elsa resisted fiercely, howling in anger, which gradually turned into a mournful howl behind her. Fang Yan couldn't understand Elsa's words, but Elsa could understand Fang Yan's words, her current wisdom was equivalent to a human child, and she could understand the meaning of Fang Yan's words. She didn't want to believe it.
Elsa struggled hard, but Fang Yan hugged her tightly and didn't let go, he was afraid that Elsa would run away if he let go, so how could he fulfill the Tiger Spirit God's request?
As if to catharsis, Elsa frantically waved her seemingly fragile claws, scratching deep marks on Fang Yan's arms, opening her mouth hysterically and gnawing indiscriminately, leaving tooth marks on Fang Yan's arms.
Fang Yan was not angry, so he silently leaned his head on Elsa's furry back, and his voice was a little low and trembling: "Elsa, no matter what, as long as you don't feel sad." Please, please, come with me・・・・・・ so I can get better. ”
Perhaps feeling the emotions in Fang Yan's heart, Elsa gradually quieted down, and a person and a tiger hugged each other on the grass like this, breathing very quickly, but no one made a sound. After a long time, Elsa opened her mouth to lick the wound on Fang Yan's arm, then turned her head and licked Fang Yan's cheek, and the warm feeling touched the bottom of Fang Yan's heart.
Fang Yan showed a smile and carefully put Elsa down, the little guy didn't leave, just squatted beside Fang Yan's legs, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing Elsa's current performance, Fang Yan knew that she had accepted the reality and agreed to live with her, and she couldn't help but feel a little comfort in her heart. Walked to the side and picked up the package he had thrown on the ground and carried it on his back, and when he came back to this place, he leaned over and hugged Elsa in her arms, Elsa seemed unusually quiet.
"Elsa, take a good look here." Lifting the little guy up, Fang Yan slowly spun around with a smile on his face, "The next time I come back, it may be a long time later." Take advantage of the time to keep everything here in mind, here are your most precious memories, with the mother who ・・・・・・ loves you the most. ”
Elsa's eyes widened, looking at the grass and trees here, as if she wanted to imprint everything in her heart. There were hot tears in her eyes, but Elsa didn't make any sound, just watched it all quietly.
Long.
Lowering her raised arms, Fang Yan carefully hugged Elsa, the warm embrace made her a little tired, and quietly closed her eyes. Fang Yan smiled, his bright eyes looking into the distance, which was the way he came.
Stepping forward, a man and a tiger snuggled up to each other and walked into the distance, this moment seemed to be eternal, as if it was about to come to the end of time.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Fang Yan stopped suddenly. Elsa, who was in her arms, poked her head out and looked at Fang Yan with big puzzled eyes.
"Well・・・・・・ I think of something very important." Smiling at Elsa embarrassedly, Fang Yan awkwardly returned the same way and walked to the place where he had met Elsa when he had just come ashore. Gently placing Elsa on the ground to the side, Fang Yan took off the package on his back and took out an axe from inside.
Elsa looked at Fang Yan's movements with a puzzled face, her eyes blinking and looking extremely cute. Fang Yan touched Elsa's little head dotingly, and smiled at the little guy with an axe, with a serious expression on his face:
"I'm going to cut down trees."
(ps: 5ooo multi-word big chapter, such a chapter full of conscience and emotional investment, are you embarrassed not to count us according to the two chapters?) So, didn't you owe a chapter before, so it's like this・・・・・・ hahahaha (covering your face). Look, everyone has no opinion, so it's decided. Hmmm, let's get down to business and summarize this paragraph. In fact, the original plan was to use this content as a transitional plot of five or six chapters, but I didn't expect it to stop at all as soon as I wrote it! No! Under! Come! So far, the plot has changed from five or six chapters to twenty chapters, can you understand our feelings? Alas, it's all tears when I talk too much, novices are really inexperienced, and they always have this kind of cheating・・・・・・ but no matter what, this plot finally has a good ending, at least we are quite satisfied. The next story, this book is about to really enter the plot, I hope to be able to satisfy everyone. )
