"Worried?"

After sending Amulon away, Yaoyao looked at Tian Xian with a serious face a little funny.

Tianxian nodded, "Of course, the Great Lord Ivan seems to be alert, and she goes out at this time...... Although the dragon seems to have the means to protect herself, after all, her ability to fight the enemy is a little worse. ”

Yaoyao leaned over and put her arm on Tianxian's shoulder, "Are you worried that she won't be able to complete the task, or are you worried about herself?"

Tianxian looked at Yaoyao, "It's no difference. ”

Yaoyao snorted, "Stinky man, I'm looking at it, you have been dishonest when you look at other people's girls! If I hadn't looked at you, I wouldn't know what to do with them!"

"No, as I said before, we're going to leave, and she's going to stay. ”

Yaoyao rolled her eyes, "I didn't think about taking her away, what a good woman...... And he is obedient to you, unlike some annoying women, who are disobedient and always cause trouble. ”

Tianxian couldn't help but smile and gently hugged her small waist, "Yes, disobedient and love to cause trouble, but I like this, what should I do?"

"I'll get down to business!" Yaoyao glared.

"I'm talking about business, too!" Tian Xian was unconvinced, "how are you talking to her now, you shouldn't see her as a thorn in your side, this is a woman who has come to rob you of a man." ”

Yaoyao looked at Tianxian, looked left and right, and then snorted disdainfully, "It's not a pity to give such a man away, I want to rob it naturally." ”

Tian Xian smiled, hugged Yaoyao, and asked seriously: "What's going on lately, you two seem to be old friends for many years, and you are really talking to her." ”

Yaoyao shrugged her shoulders, "Who knows, it may be pity her, or it may be that she is very obedient, and I also want a maid or something." ”

Tianxian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yaoyao looked at Tianxian, suddenly smiled, touched Tianxian's face, pinched her nose, stroked her hair and ears, and then said slowly: "Look, how real my man is, right in front of me, you can see and touch it, no one can take it away, I can always rely on it, I live, I die, I won't worry, after going through the past, I know that I already have the most precious and priceless things." ”

was stunned for a moment, Yaoyao would never say this.

"Do you know what it's like to be desperate and think that one person can save you?"

Tian Xian's heart trembled slightly.

Yaoyao put down her hand and sighed softly, "I know, I remember ......"

"Yaoyao, you ......"

"Sorry to bother you. A rough voice came, interrupting what Tian Xian wanted to say.

The bald man stood at the door, looking at Tianxian and Yaoyao solemnly, without the slightest apology on his face.

Tianxian hurriedly let go of Yaoyao, Yaoyao let out a sigh and glared at her bald head threateningly.

The bald head had a stiff face, and did not react to Yaoyao's threat at all.

"Your master is resting?" asked Tian Xian, coughing.

The bald head nodded, "It was really noisy last night, she didn't rest well, I already let her sleep." ”

Tian Xian thought to himself that would be good, to be honest, Tian Xian didn't want to deal with that eldest lady now.

"So...... Something?" asked Tian Xian with a wink of curiosity.

"Yes. The bald head still didn't have any expression, "But if you don't have time......"

"Yes, yes!" Tian Xian quickly interrupted him, "Although I am also very busy, I always take time to talk to my friends, come on, come on, please sit down! ”

The bald head did not shirk, and sat down next to him, his huge body sunk in the soft chair, and Tianxian felt as if he was squatting there wearing a pair of leather pants.

"If you have any questions, just ask, before I came, the patriarch had already explained to me, and you should try to let you know what you want to know. The bald head said unequivocally.

"Oh...... "Tomorrow reads," that is...... You don't have to worry about your master's intentions. ”

"The young lady doesn't know the ins and outs of this matter, and the patriarch doesn't want her to get involved, so ......" the bald expression became a little more serious, "Even if you know something, please keep it a secret from her, this is a condition." ”

"Of course!"

Tianxian agreed without hesitation, "Maybe it's not very respectful, but I actually don't want to communicate too much with your master, so ...... We don't have to waste time, let's get started now. ”

The bald head nodded, then glanced at Yaoyao, "Does she want to know too?"

"What are you talking about?" Yaoyao suddenly became angry.

Tianxian hurriedly held down Yaoyao, who was about to rush out to beat someone, and said to the bald head: "Of course, of course, she is my wife, and I won't hide anything from her." ”

The bald head nodded again, "Don't mind, I'm just confirming, because some things are important, and the fewer people know, the better, even the young lady is the same, you know what I mean." ”

"No problem!" Tian Xian rubbed his hands, slightly excited in his heart, and the messy situation in Boiling Water City could finally be sorted out.

"So, first question, what was going on yesterday?"

The bald head frowned, "I don't know very much about this matter, because the patriarch hasn't explained it specifically, and I think I'm afraid the patriarch himself is not completely clear, because that's Ivan's power, and what kind of power he got in the white water pool, only he himself knows." ”

"But what is known is that he has the power to drive the sea, and the souls of the sea will be at his disposal, and yesterday he was searching the city for suspicious people or things, and the souls of the dead will tell him everything they find. ”

Tian Xian nodded, these things are already very clear, but this kind of ability is indeed a little scary to say.

"That'...... How did that old man know that such a thing was going to happen?" asked Yaoyao, not to be outdone.

The bald head replied very calmly: "Because this is Boiling Water City, everything that happens may be exposed to Ivan's eyes, although exposure has been avoided as much as possible, but a lot of things happened yesterday, and he must have heard the wind." ”

After a deep groan, the bald head said: "The patriarch said that it means that he is afraid. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Yaoyao immediately asked.

"Fear that the vows of more than a hundred years ago are about to be broken, and that the power that has given him and the power that binds others will fall apart, as is everything he has. ”

"So......" Tianxian pondered and asked slowly, "back then, what kind of oath was the oath you just mentioned?" ”

The bald head took a sip of water from the water cup, brewed it for a while, and then said slowly: "This matter is a bit complicated, according to the patriarch's explanation, there were many people who explored the White Water Pool together back then, and in the end, they reached the depths of the sea alive and came to the temple, and there were only a few people. ”

"How many!?" Yaoyao asked quickly.

The bald head looked at Yaoyao, then shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Tian Xian was stunned, "I don't know?"

"Because of the oath, many things have been blurred, and the patriarch doesn't remember how many people there are, only Ivan and Alita in the now abandoned city.

Tianxian couldn't help but think of the name that the little old woman called at that time, but she seemed to remember how many people there were, and even what everyone's name was.

"And then, what's the matter with the oath?"

"The patriarch said that there was no sea floor, and there were no remnants of the ancient kingdom, it was empty, only a temple floated in the deep sea, and under it, there was a deeper bottom of the sea, and no one knew what was there, and right there, in that temple, met the gods of the White Water Pool!"

"Kami ......"

Tianxian now has become more and more blurred about the concept of gods, in the human continent, gods are already invisible and untouchable, two thousand years of years of washing, the traces of gods have almost disappeared, everything is an illusion left by the Holy Spirit Temple, I thought that there would be gods everywhere in this world, but the result was ......

"What kind of gods?"

The bald head shook his head: "It's big, the patriarch doesn't know what it looks like, there is a giant eye, which occupies almost the entire sea." ”

"The whole sea?" Yaoyao was even more dissatisfied with the bald head's answer.

"Yes, inside the temple...... It was like a vast endless ocean, and the giant eye was there, and the patriarch said it was something that was hard to describe, probably...... That's right. ”

"Then, why did they make a vow?" Tian Xian was not in a hurry, and asked carefully.

"For, the gods have promised to give all people strength and wisdom. ”

Tian Xian nodded when he heard this, "This is a bit similar to the statement of the god stick, I have done similar things before." ”

The bald head couldn't help but look at Tianxian in surprise.

"Don't mind, go on. "Tian Xian said.

However, this gift also comes at a price, and there are rules. ”

"What price and rules, don't talk about it!" Yaoyao was a little anxious.

Tianxian was amused, and pulled Yaoyao's hand over, "Okay, don't worry, listen to him slowly." ”

The bald head didn't seem to hear Yaoyao's voice, and still said slowly: "The price of getting power is to leave a part of the soul, which is also a necessary condition for keeping a secret, the gods require them not to say everything here, otherwise they will break the oath, not only will all the power disappear, but their souls will also dissipate." ”

"Part of the soul is the thing that was left at the bottom of the sea, right?" asked Tian Xian.

"Yes, each one leaves something with them, into which the gods infuse a small part of their soul, and this is the price of their soul, and this part of the soul will remain at the bottom of the sea forever, forever. ”

"Until death?"

The bald head glanced at Tianxian and shook his head, "No, even if you die...... Do you see the figure in yesterday's storm?"

Tianxian and Yaoyao's hearts were cold at the same time.

"You mean, those shadows are ......" Tianxian frowned twice.

"Yes, those are the fragments of the soul that people left at the bottom of the sea, and that part of the soul will always be possessed by the gods at the bottom of the sea, and will be driven forever, even if the soul of the person who goes ashore dissipates, that part of the soul will not ......"

Yaoyao couldn't help but feel a chill in her body when she heard this, "That...... Do you want to be enslaved forever?"

"Yes!"

The bald man's expression was a little complicated, "But it's not, because the separated soul is already a separate part, and although there is a close connection with the body, it is not the body." ”

Yaoyao still frowned when she heard this, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Tianxian also frowned slightly, although the bald man said so, but Tianxian still faintly felt that this was a little inappropriate, can the human spirit really be two halves and become two independent individuals that have nothing to do with each other?

"The price...... It's a part of the soul, so what about the rules?" asked Tian Xian softly.

"Rules...... It is that only one person can get real power. ”

"One, only one?" Tianxian was a little puzzled.

"Yes, there is only one, and among all the survivors, only one person can get real power, and the rest of them just support him to use this power, except for the one who really gets power, the rest of them get much less power, and even all of them together are less than one-tenth of his. ”

"Wouldn't that be a fight?" Yaoyao interjected again, "If it's me, I will kill everyone, and I can monopolize this power." ”

The bald head shook his head again, "No, that's not possible, because no one knows in advance whether they are the chosen one, and others are also bound to exist, because we ordinary humans can't control the power of the gods at all, and we must form a soul seal array through the soul fragments left behind, protect and defend the person who really gets the power, and he can really use the power he gets." ”

Tian Xian probably understood, thought about it and said, "That is to say, one person has gained great strength and transcendent wisdom, and the rest of the people are just tools to support him in using this power and wisdom. ”

The same can be said. ”

Tian Xian continued: "Then, in addition to keeping the content of the oath secret, I'm afraid there are many restrictions on those tools. ”

"Yes...... "Not only restrictions, but oppression may be more accurate, because according to the oath, they are to remain incognito, not to talk about what they have seen and experienced, and not to communicate with each other, and not to disobey the orders of the true users of power." ”

Tian Xian touched his chin, "This kind of oath is really ......"

The bald head continued: "And the Great Lord Ivan, after learning about this, did an even more terrible thing, he tampered with the contract privately, and the other people who were originally just supporting him became even more consumables that were supplied to him with flesh and blood spirit, and everyone else has aged rapidly for more than a hundred years, only he still maintains the vitality of youth. ”

"How did he do it?" said Tian Xian with great interest, "I'm afraid it's not easy to do such a little trick in front of the gods. ”

"The god doesn't care about that, he just needs soul shards. ”

"So...... How did Ivan know that he was the one chosen?"

The bald head was silent for a while, "That's what makes him scary, he doesn't know he's the one chosen." ”

Tianxian and Yaoyao were stunned.

"Bet! If you don't win, it's all over!"
