Chapter 92: The Smogers
Unlike those frightened Lepeilians, the streamers are all calm. Priest Sylven looked sideways at one of the humanoid white mist slowly drifting towards them, and said, "Priest Smog. β
"Priestess Smog, every time I see you, I can't help but feel the delusion of catching you. Priest Veloch smiled as he looked at the white mist with interest.
"Heh......" Hearing this, Priest Smog chuckled suddenly, the voice was like his form, ethereal and ethereal, making people feel like they couldn't tell the direction of the sound source. At first glance, it is indeed frightening, but his temperament is surprisingly mild.
Although the few Lepeilian people present couldn't understand the language of the streamer, now it finally dawned on them that it was not a ghost at all, but a streamer person! It turned out that the form of the Streamer Clan's Smoge people was like smoke, no wonder Jianing City would be called the Devil's City.
"Lepelian people......" Priest Smog looked down at the Lepelians, as if a little surprised, and then said in Lepelian's language, "Could this be the child of the Fog King?"
This is not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence. The reason why the few Lepeilian people present were so sure was because the priest's "gaze" fell on Yan Shu as he spoke. As for why they were able to perceive the "sight" of the Priest of Smog, even they themselves could not understand. Maybe it's not that they suddenly have some kind of keen and supernormal perception ability, but that the powerful streamer people consciously convey this strong feeling directly to their consciousness.
"How do you know?" Yan Shu couldn't help but be surprised. Indeed, while several of his companions already knew his true identity, they hadn't mentioned it to any of the Streamers, and how could he not be surprised that Priest Smog had unmistakably identified him?
"When I first arrived, I met all the people in this city, and I knew it. Priest Smog replied.
"Have you seen all the people in the city?" Yan Shu said in surprise again, "When have you been here, why have I never seen you?
"It was after that. Priest Smog said.
"After that?" Yan Shu wondered, "If it's after the slaughter of the city, then all the people ...... I'm dead, so how do you know about my origins?"
"Even so, the information on their bodies, and even the creatures around them, tell me what happened here. Priest Smog replied gently. Then, he slowly stretched out a hand to Yan Shu, the glimmering white mist-like hand, first lightly tapping on Yan Shu's chest, then slowly penetrating his body, and then slashing out horizontally from his side, but Yan Shu was intact, except for the shocked look written on his face.
"I don't quite understand the meaning of your words, but I feel it, though I can't put it into words. Yan Xuan burst into tears, raised his head and looked at Priest Smog fixedly, and choked up, "Now, I believe it, I believe why you know who I am." Your hand must have touched all the people in Jianing City like thisβall the people who died, and you buried them, right?"
"Dead? no, not dead, alive and well. Priestess Smog smiled softly.
"Live...... Still alive?" Yan Shu was both confused and surprised.
"Of course alive, there are no dead things in the world, just live in a different way. Priest Smog stretched out his arms and pointed around, "Look up, they're still guarding their beloved home. β
Yan Shu followed the arm of the priest of Smog and looked around blankly, but except for the towering trees, which were small trees that were trying to grow, he didn't see any familiar figures. However, the future of standing beside him is already clear. It turned out that the Smog had buried the bones of Naruto Kirishi around Jianing Castle and planted a forest on the ground.
"In our homeland, there is no such thing as 'death'. Priest Smog explained, "Life is always in cycles, and when one stage of life is over, it naturally moves on to the next. Although the external form of each life stage is different, all life is sharing each other's existence, you have me, I have you, this is the true form of life. β
"So that's ......" Yan Shu squatted down, carefully brushed away the green leaves on the grass, and gently stroked the sand on the ground with his fingers, and suddenly understood the priest's words. "Their blood once flowed on this land and nourished many lives on it. And their spiritual flesh has gradually become a part of those towering trees, but they continue to live in a different way, right?"
"Yes, cherish all this in the future. Because any life may contain a part of your loved ones in the past or in the future. The ethereal, ethereal voice passed by his ears, and then disappeared into the wind.
After telling the priests about their intention to stay in the city of Jianing, several Lepelians returned to the palace together.
The next morning, Miku, Modi, Sangwu, and Tiward, who were still asleep, were suddenly woken up by Kama's exclamations, and thought that something had happened, so they hurriedly ran out to take a look, and they were all stunned. If it weren't for the fact that there were only a handful of six Lepeilian people in the entire Jianing City now, I am afraid that it would be difficult for anyone to recognize that the person in front of him was the Yan Yu who got along with him day and night.
Karma circled around Yan Wei again and again, looking up and down over and over again, and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that you are very good-looking, but now you really look like a big man with status." β
Yan Shu shaved off all the beard that covered half of his face, combed his messy hair well, took a bath, and found a barely intact robe from the relics of the palace to change into, which looked neat and neat, completely different from the unshaven and tattered slave before. The majestic body, resolute facial features, thick eyebrows, and deep blue-gray eyes, which should have been a very rough combination of appearances, unexpectedly did not give people the slightest sense of roughness, but faintly revealed a different kind of tenderness. Of course, this tenderness is not expressed through his facial expression and body language, but a natural breath from the inside out.
Yan Shu was not restrained by Karma's ridicule, smiled generously, and said to everyone: "Since this is our home in the future, then from now on, we have to find a way to be self-reliant." β
"Well, that's right. Tacit agreed, "Let's go and sort out all the useful things first, shall we?"
"Yes, and then there needs to be a place to cultivate. Sang Wu added.
So, several people immediately split up. Everyone knows in their hearts that no matter how many difficulties we will encounter in the future, we must lay a solid foundation for the future now.
Although they live in the same city as the Streamers, due to their very different ways of survival, there is almost no chance of encountering each other unless they deliberately look for each other.
After several days of continuous work, Future finally decided to go to the forest of the Great Hunting Ground again to meet the priests of the Streamer Clan. When he met with the streamer last time, Yan Shu was still immersed in sadness, and the timing was not right, so he didn't mention the questions that had plagued him for a long time. At the beginning, Shi Jiayan once said to him, "...... Sometimes, we have to look at ourselves through the eyes of others so that we can see our true selves. He still remembers this sentence vividly, and whenever he encounters confusion, he naturally wants to listen to the opinions of the streamers. After all, they have a longer life cycle and a broader ideological realm, which can provide more valuable references, which can bring him some help and broaden his thinking.
Before returning to the Eastern Continent, he did have the illusion that the civilization created by his ancestors must still have many glorious features. However, after returning, I found more and more opposites, and the pride of my childhood was gradually diluted by the current experience. Especially on the way to the Devil's Forest, the lonely old man Napole they met on the mountain, and what the old man had said, made him very concerned. In the past, Assi often sneered at the glorious civilization he was proud of, but he has always been blinded by illusions, believing only the "facts" he wants to believe, and classifying all of Assi's ridicule as "national hatred". Looking back now, I realized that Assi was actually laughing at his blindness and stubbornness.
Therefore, in the future, I can't help but want to know more and more urgently, how do the Streamers view the Lepelian people? The Streamers have an almost infinite lifespan, and they spend much longer observing the Lepelian people than the Lepelian people themselves. Therefore, the people of Lepeilian may not know as much about themselves as the people of Streamer. After all, from ancient times to the present, no matter which nation, it is very rare to leave a relatively objective self-evaluation for future generations in historical classics to warn future generations.
One of the most important things to learn from the Fiji people, especially from Shijiadi and Assi, is that you must look at yourself through the eyes of others, and only then can you gain self-knowledge. Therefore, even though he knew that he could not stand at the same height as the streamer and observe the scenery that was beyond his reach, now he could at least ask what they saw?
The streamers are doing everything they can to find those scattered people, and they are preparing to return to their homeland, and the time of stay is unpredictable. Moreover, if the alien people who have been hidden for nearly three hundred years suddenly appear and gather on a large scale, it will definitely cause panic among the Lepeilian people.
It may even set off another stormy wave. Although the Streamers have never actively attacked the Lepeilians, and most of the time they are gentle and harmless, once they feel that their lives are threatened, they will awaken the demonic power in their souls in order to protect themselves. Under the domination of demonic power, the destructive power of the Streamer is unimaginable, enough to sink the entire Eastern Continent. Future Sukarana became worried, and the mood to meet the streamers became more urgent.
