Chapter 174: The Price of Freedom

Yan Zisong's words made Qi Ning'an can't help but imagine that picture, not afraid of the beasts in the world, free and easy, calling friends and friends, visiting relatives, can such a big world really be realized?

"What is the price to pay to achieve such a big world?"

Lu Kongkong is always calm at these times, he knows very well that on the vast continent, human beings have multiplied for so long, and to this day they are still living in a state that is attacked by fierce beasts and even unable to resist.

Yan Zi was stunned for a moment, and his tone was very emotional: "It would be nice if the ancestor was as sober as you back then, but unfortunately, at that time, because he missed his hometown too much, under the encouragement of Dazhou again and again, he made a lot of decisions that were enough for him to regret for life, that is, the price paid in order to realize the so-called big world."

"Dazhou has repeatedly assured the ancestor that he has a set of combined spirit arrays in his hands, which can connect all the existing small world rings on the continent together, and eventually form a formation within a formation and become a big world ring ring, but the premise is that someone must bury the spirit beads in these places according to the position he gave, and then under his operation, these spirit beads will become the hub of the array, and for this huge ring of the realm, the spiritual power will be transported far away, without artificial repair and maintenance, as long as the spiritual power is regularly input for these spirit beads, This Great Ring will always protect our Great World......"

"The task of those children is to bury the spirit bead in the designated place?"

Yan Ruoxing interjected, as a member of the Yan clan, he had never heard of these things of the old ancestor, the more clearly Elder Song explained, the more ridiculous he felt, what did the old ancestor think at that time? It's so easy to believe the so-called Dazhou's remarks, isn't he, even the most basic judgment has been lost?!

"The children's missions, which we only found out about many years after we left, including, as the little girl mentioned, the deaths of those who guarded the boundary, all happened after we left."

Elder Yan felt that something was wrong: "What happened after you left?" In this way, you actually knew that Dazhou had bad intentions, so you were prepared early, regardless of the life and death of the people in the realm, but took care of yourself first, right? ”

"No, we left not because we were afraid of death, but because we were all in the dark"

Yan Zixue couldn't help but retorted: "When we left, we didn't know Dazhou's intentions at all, the reason why the old ancestor let us leave was because he was worried that when the big world was connected to the array, the other small worlds would have turbulent and unstable realms, but he couldn't show his worries in front of Dazhou, so the old ancestor decided to send out all the clansmen who had cultivated spiritual power to act as guards around each small world. Then we can naturally return safely, if the formation fails, our responsibility is to make decisions for him, bear the consequences, and be responsible for putting the safety of those small worlds in the first place, to ensure that these small worlds will not be invaded by those creatures because of the instability of the boundary......"

Yan Zixue made a gesture and said to Yan Zisong: "Brother, you rest, I'll tell you the rest."

Yan Zisong talked for so long, and he was indeed a little tired, so he nodded and stopped talking

Lu Shenghe looked at this gap and asked: "That's not right, since your ancestors sent you all out, it proves that this so-called formation within a formation at that time should be activated soon, but why, I heard Ning An and Kongkong say that those buried spirit beads exploded a few years ago, causing a great earth movement, east and west, north and west, and countless casualties?" ”

"That's because something happened at that time, and our ancestors' trust in Dazhou began to waver."

Yan Zixue fell into the memory, and his expression became lonely: "At that time, after all of our clansmen left, there were only some women and children and the elderly and infirm left in the realm, as well as children, those who were with Dazhou, they tried to help a few children in the clan forcibly open the spiritual veins, and forced them to use the cultivation methods of the spiritual world to cultivate spiritual power, but the children were unwilling, and they beat the children all over their bodies!" ”

"What?! Are they brutes? Treat children so harshly?! ”

Yan Lao, as a great practitioner of the constant realm, knows best what children mean to human beings, every child born safely symbolizes the continuous reproduction and prosperity of human beings, no matter what kind of threat they face, human beings have always survived tenaciously, a small world, the birth of children, it shows that the hope in the hearts of human beings has always been continuous

Those people from the spirit world dare to attack children, isn't that ruthlessly stifling their own hope for human beings?

Yan Zixue cast an approving look at Yan Lao, and continued: "That's right, the old ancestor just thinks that these people, although they speak very well, usually show a great love for human beings, but he didn't expect that it was these people, after all our young and middle-aged clansmen left, to move on the blood left by our clansmen, from that moment on, the old ancestor was wary of them, and the vigilance together, the old ancestor saw all kinds of things wrong in Dazhou."

"First of all, Dazhou said before that he would take the initiative to contact the travelers of various small worlds and persuade them to accept the statement that this array within the formation can build a beautiful big world, which is a bit strange, he obviously said at the time that as long as the spirit bead is buried in a fixed position, there is no need for other small worlds to cooperate with anything, but why did he not only arrange for many children to hide in, but also personally go to those boundary guards to talk? This is the first place where the old ancestor noticed that something was wrong."

"The second thing is wrong, is that the ancestors found the number of guards, I don't know when it started, every once in a while, there will be missing people to report, there are no creatures outside the realm to provoke, no creatures to invade, the guards, it is inexplicably missing, the ancestors checked for a long time, only to find out that it was a few of them in Dazhou, they, secretly knocked the guards unconscious, and then hid them in a cave outside the boundary, I don't know what was done to them, when the ancestors found them, they were already exhausted of spiritual power, Dying."

Lu Kongkong subconsciously said: "It's exactly the same as when Elder Yan and my father were taken captive to the Holy Spirit Realm and rescued."

Yan Zixue was startled, looked at Yan Lao and Lu Shenghe, and his voice trembled: "You have all been taken captive to the Holy Spirit Realm?" Isn't it that they are all forced to infuse the spiritual power in their bodies into some strange objects? The more time passes, the more difficult it is for the spiritual power in the body to recover, and in the end, cultivation is useless, the spiritual power in the body is like a riverbed that has been squeezed dry, no more water can appear, and you can no longer accumulate spiritual power through cultivation? ”

"That's true, at first I thought it was they who did something, causing me to no longer be able to cultivate spiritual power, but later I found out that it was not them, but ourselves, so that we could not get in and out, and the body could not be loaded at all, and in the end, there was only a shell without spiritual power, if it wasn't for the timely awakening of them, I think, we would not have lived long"

Lu Shenghe recalled his own situation at that time, and he still had palpitations

Yan Zixue looked excited, and said loudly: "At that time, those realm guards were exhausted in spiritual power, and when the ancestor found them and wanted to save them, it was too late, and they all died in pain within two days, and the ancestor realized at this time that the so-called realization of a beautiful world in Dazhou was very likely to be a conspiracy, not the feasible way he thought."

"And then? Later, how did your ancestors deal with them in Dazhou? ”

Qi Ning'an wanted to hear about the real reason for her grandfather's death as soon as possible, but after listening to it for so long, she began to feel worried about the Yan clan's original boundary keeper, and compared to her grandfather's death, the fate of this boundary keeper also made her feel sympathetic

"When the ancestor found these guards, he didn't show any emotions to them in Dazhou at the first time, he first entrusted a few children in the clan to a part of the guards, and secretly sent them to the south, that is, at that time, the guards of the Gazani realm, and then asked the guards to send letters to those children in other small worlds, hoping that they would not obey their arrangements in Dazhou in the future, and not do anything that they regretted, and at the same time brought a letter to those guards to inform them of the cause and effect of the matter, I wanted them to beware of a few of them in Dazhou, but the ancestor never expected that they had already noticed the ancestor's intentions in Dazhou, and intercepted the letter halfway, and all the guards were poisoned, and only one guard, with his last breath, found my brother, and after briefly telling the story, he swallowed his breath......"

"So, at that time, your ancestors of the Yan clan had actually woken up from the dream they made up in Dazhou, but because they were too cunning in Dazhou, they led to a series of tragedies later?"

Yan Lao had mixed feelings in his heart, he never thought that the so-called first boundary keeper betrayed the Heng Realm, and so much happened in the middle, but he quickly reacted again, and spoke with a questioning tone: "Why didn't you ask the Heng Realm for help at that time?" If you ask Hengjie for help and explain things clearly, won't you be able to avoid all this later? ”

Yan Zixue was indignant: "Of course we want to ask for help from Hengjie, but after listening to the words of the Jiewei, at that time, our clansmen outside only had one thought, which was to kill back, solve a few people in Dazhou, and then bring back all the children who were sent away, and live their own stable lives as before, so ......"

"So, you really, just went back to the realm like this?"

Yan Ruoxing couldn't help but sweat for his ancestors, after listening to it for so long, fools know that those people in Dazhou are scheming and difficult to deal with, why are they so stupid?

Yan Zixue saw his thoughts, and said helplessly: "At that time, we only thought about questioning and revenge, where could we take care of so much? If I could have thought more about it at that time, it wouldn't have caused our Yan clan to become the situation where it is facing possible extinction."
