Chapter 717: The Vanishing Goddess of Xiyao (Part I)
Looking at the picture of the reunion of the two sages, Ye Tianxie had to sigh, the wonder of fate is nothing more than this. However, although he was almost certain that Yuan Que was one of the twelve sages, he was also very clear that with Yuan Que's performance all along, he had obviously forgotten that he was a sage...... To be exact, he was trying his best to get rid of the name of the sage, otherwise, how could he be willing to stay in this novice village and never go out for the rest of his life.
The sages were born to protect the Lost Continent, and they are powerful, noble, and majestic...... And Yuan Que is a bad old man who is eccentric everywhere, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the word "sage". In addition, his name has also been changed by him to the weird word "Yuanque". How he wanted to abandon the title of "sage". The crows of Tianchen City are not like this. Now it's actually an appraiser in an appraisal shop.
Ye Tianxie was 100% sure that the Tianchen City Lord didn't know the identity of the crow, otherwise he wouldn't dare to let a dignified sage be his little appraiser in Tianchen City if he gave him another hundred guts.
"In World War I, I was sucked into the cracks of space and appeared here in a distorted space......"
The Sage of the Sacred Words began to tell Yuan Que about the year and the past hundred years. Yuan Que sighed in silence. He didn't understand that the reason why their sages had a lifespan far beyond that of ordinary humans was because of the source of their power. Without the strength, what kind of perseverance did the Sage of the Divine Word need to support him in that state for a whole hundred years...... And he also knows what sustains her......
Finally, when talking about the reason why she was out of the curse, Yuan Que turned around and looked at Ye Tianxie. He knew very well that if it weren't for Ye Tianxie's return this time, the Sage of Sacred Words might not be able to break that curse until he died, and he would never know that his partner had died under his nose like this. That's a great sorrow.
"You kid...... This time, count me as owing you. Yuan Que looked at him, and said with a gray beard on his face,
"How can I pay it back?" Ye Tianxie said unceremoniously.
"What, want to be paid?" Yuan Que laughed: "Aren't you very familiar with the old man of Yuan Yao?" Go to him, and he will be willing to give you his life if he knows that you have saved the Word. ”
"Crow?" Sheng Yan asked a little confused.
“…… It's a ghost knife. Yuan Que said with a complicated look in his eyes.
The atmosphere was quiet all at once. The eyes of the holy word were turbulent, and after a long time, he said in a dry voice: "He...... Are you okay? ”
"Okay?" Yuan Que shook his head and smiled: "How can he be good, your death made him almost collapse back then." Back then, we were poisoned by electric ghost knives, holy words and herbs all over the world, fighting grievances, robbing thieves to help the poor, and breaking into major dangerous hidden places, how majestic and happy, but now...... We are not true gods after all, we can't be immortal after all, and the ghost knife can't accept your death at all, your death made his faith collapse for a while, and after that year, he never used any sage power again. If you look at me now, you can basically think of his current state...... Yes, he is also old, he no longer uses the power of the sage, his body is aging rapidly, and like me, he has become a little old man. One of us old men named Yuanque and the other Yuanya, and vowed never to mention their identities as sages again. Hehe...... I can't even protect my closest people, so what can I talk about protecting the world and the mainland...... The person who cares about the most is gone, even if the world is invincible, even if one person destroys the entire demon race and saves the entire continent, what can he do, he can be peaceful for a lifetime, in the first place, why did he choose to be a sage. ”
Ye Tianxie: "......"
"Now he has opened an appraisal shop in Tianchen City, and his life should be as peaceful and lonely as mine. It's been 100 years...... Hehe, for a hundred years, he can't let go of it at all, just like me. ”
"I'm going to find him." The Sage of Sacred Words said in a hurried voice.
Yuan Que nodded, and shook his head slowly: "I know that you are eager to see him, if he knows that you are still alive, maybe, he will go crazy with joy, but this is the sealed place that has been separated, it is difficult to get in, and it is even more difficult to get out." ”
"No...... There is a way. The Sage shook his head and said in a resolute voice.
Yuan Que was surprised at first, then his face changed suddenly, and then he slowly regained his composure and said, "That's fine." Speaking of which, that's the only option, and it's not the perfect choice. Hehe...... I feel like I've seen you reunited, I really ...... I'm glad for you. ”
In the eyes of the round magpie, a touch of crystal disappeared. Perhaps, he never thought that there would be such a day. The unpredictable world and the impermanence of fate can sometimes throw you into hell coldly, and sometimes suddenly take you to heaven when you think there is no hope. No one can figure out fate, no one knows what will happen in the next second......
Ye Tianxie finally spoke, and interjected: "Ghost knife, is it the predecessor of the round crow?" ”
"Hmm." Yuan Que nodded.
"He and the Sage of the Sacred Words, are lovers?" Ye Tianxie asked tentatively, from their conversation just now, he could roughly hear it.
"Nope." Yuan Que shook his head, looked at him and said, "It's husband and wife." ”
"What about you and the Herb Sage?" Ye Tianxie then asked. He mentioned "Poisonous Electric Ghost Knife, Sacred Words and Hundred Herbs" before, coupled with Yuan Que's mood swings and those things he sighed, that Hundred Grass Sage......
"Herbs...... It's my wife. Yuan Que closed his eyes, his voice slow and muffled, "Twelve sages, there are a total of seven element sages: the Sage of the Clouds, the Sage of Kuilei, the Sage of the Burial Sand, the Sage of the Storm, the Sage of Xuanhuo, the Sage of the Holy Lin, the Sage of the Dark Spirit, and the Sage of the Guardian Department, the Sage of the Ghost Blade, the Sage of Poison and Lightning, the Sage of the Auxiliary Department, and the Sage of the Hundred Grasses. Twelve of us, originally ordinary twelve human beings, were chosen as the twelve sages by the goddess of Xiyao because of their innate awakening of a certain power, and gave us the corresponding power, and the mission is to protect this lost continent. Once, that was our glory, so that we gained great power at the same time, became a hero in the eyes of the people of the whole continent, but, when everything is lost, we finally find that we are not as great as we imagined, we have the same instinctive selfishness as the most normal people, the closest friend, the most important lover died, even if we have the strongest power, no matter how great the power, no matter how high the glory can be? And what makes us despair the most is the departure of the goddess Xiyao......"
Ye Tianxie: "?? ”
"The power of the sage is born from the goddess Xiyao, as long as the goddess Xiyao is still there, within ten days after the death of the sage, the power of the sage can be recalled with the stone of Xiyao, and the sage can be brought back to life...... Back then, five of our companions died, and we thought they could be resurrected by the Goddess Shine with the Shine Stone, but ...... Until ten days passed, the goddess Xiyao still did not appear. So, the dead partner really died. The remaining seven of us could not accept this fact and dispersed. Since then, the continent has been lost, and there is no trace of the sage...... Even if the Tower of Destiny collapsed and the Eight Demon Kings fled, no sage appeared. Because now in the Lost Continent, there are no sages at all. The former sages have gone their separate ways, and they don't know where to go. Or choose to become a civilian, or choose to be like me, to escape from the guardian mission that may one day come. ”
"I see." The Sage of Sacred Words muttered in a low voice, "No wonder, I didn't wait for the summons of the Goddess Xiyao back then. ”
"Goddess Xiyao, why did she disappear?" Ye Tianxie asked.
"I don't know, and no one knows. When we were fighting fiercely with the Nine Demon Kings of the Demon Race, Goddess Xiyao fought alone against the powerful demon bat, the mount of the original Demon God Owl, and finally defeated it and forcibly sealed it in the Tower of Destiny. Then, the goddess Xiyao joined us, and with the help of the goddess Xiyao, the demon kings were quickly defeated and also sealed into the Tower of Destiny. In that battle, although the ability of the goddess Xiyao was lost, she was not injured and there was nothing abnormal, but from the next day, no matter how I and the old man Raven tried all methods to find and shout, she never appeared again until ...... The eleventh day of despair came. Alas......"
Yuan Que let out a long sigh, and then said: "It wasn't until that year, when I went to Tiansheng Mountain and saw the depleted fountain of life, that I knew that Goddess Xiyao had really had an accident. ”
Ye Tianxie thought for a while and said: "I have been to Tiansheng Mountain, and I have also seen the Fountain of Life, as far as I know, the formation of the Fountain of Life is because of a 'Source Heart of Life', and the Source Heart of Life is formed by the goddess of life who died at the hands of the demon god Owl ten thousand years ago, and a drop of water of life can be produced every year, and over time, the Fountain of Life is formed. The drying up of the fountain of life, what is the connection with the goddess Xiyao? ”
The crow and the sage of the Holy Words glanced at Ye Tianxie in surprise at the same time. Yuan Que squinted his eyes and asked, "Boy, you should have obtained the Heart of the Source of Life that the Goddess of Life had transformed from the dry Fountain of Life, right?" ”
Ye Tianxie did not deny it and nodded.
"Defeat Weeping Feather Binglin, get the Green Dragon Ring, and also get the Source of Life Heart...... Your kid's luck is really not ordinarily good. If you go a year and a half early, and the fountain of life has not completely dried up, your only consequence is to die there. With the water of life, the Weeping Feather Ice Lin is immortal, and after the Fountain of Life completely dries up, the strength of the Weeping Feather Ice Lin will drop greatly, and it will sleep in order to preserve its vitality, and its alertness and action will also decrease...... It just happened that you kid took advantage of it. Yuan Que glared and said. Thinking of everything Ye Tianxie had, he had to admire his chance, or luck. When he reached the Heavenly Saint Mountain, he found that the Fountain of Life was already showing signs of exhaustion, and at that rate of exhaustion, it would not take a few years for the Water of Life to disappear completely, so he hurriedly took a few drops of the Water of Life, and then almost died in the hands of Yu Binglin.
