Chapter 239: No Regrets
Chapter 239: No Regrets
"Flick your fingers, and in an instant, your face will be gone. Young master, you can accept it, but Changning may not be able to accept it. Wen Rong still wants to persuade again. was interrupted by Wen Yongfu, "Don't say it again"
"That kind of thing just makes people go away. Once chosen, it is possible that you will never wake up again, the cost is too great, the danger is too high, and those are not something that ordinary people can afford. Wen Rong shook his head, over the years, he knew the horror of that thing best, although it was not his own personal experience, but he had seen it with his own eyes.
Wen Yongfu kept staring at Wen Xu's absolute face, and smiled bitterly at Wen Rong, "What do you think he wanted to leave just now?" I'm afraid he's already thought of it. In that case, it's better for us to master. The chances of survival will also be greater. ”
Wen Xu really thought about it, and after hearing Yingyu's words, he remembered a previous story.
Wen Rong was a little stunned, he didn't expect Wen Yongfu to tell Wen Xu about that thing.
As everyone knows, what Wen Yongfu told Wen Xu and what Wen Rong knew were completely two different concepts. In Wen Rong's eyes, that thing is the most unfair gamble in the world, and it is the source of pain. But Wen Yongfu once told it as a fairy tale to Wen Xu when he was a child.
"There used to be a couple of lovers, one was a cultivator and the other was a human being. They love each other very much, but they can't be together because of fate, and when the cultivator watches his lover grow old, he vows to heaven that he is willing to share his life with his lover. I do not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month. May life, joy, pain, and sorrow be shared. In order to fulfill his wish, the cultivator bowed down in front of the idol for nine hundred and eighty-one days, and the god was finally moved by him and granted his wish. In the end, they live happily together. Wen Xu said slowly, and then looked at Wen Yongfu, "This is the story my grandfather told me when I was five years old, and at that time, you hoped that I could have the same perseverance as that cultivator and make unremitting efforts for my goals. Now, I want to be like him and share my life with my lover. Just like you were at the beginning."
The corners of Wen Xu's mouth rose slightly when he said this, "Although a lot of all this today is because of your factors. But I thank you so much for telling me this story. Let me still have a choice at this time. ”
Speaking of which, Wen Xu is extremely profound about this story. And not because of the content of the story. In fact, the content of the story is not very attractive, but he will never forget the proud look on Wen Yongfu's face when he told the story. It was that look that he always remembered this story.
Jun Wuwu and Chang'an have been listening quietly, feeling surprised for a while, and worried for a while. They hope that Changning can live, but they don't want to lose Wenxu because of Changning.
"Is it the legendary No Regrets?" Hai Linyuan let out a low breath. He really admires Wen Yongfu, and the more he gets along with him, the more he feels that he can't see through him. He always works miracles. No regrets is a curse recorded in ancient books, but no one has ever seen it, let alone used it, and Wen Yongfu was able to study it.
"I used to think it was just a legend, but it occurred to me that it was the beginning of your so-called plan." Wen Xu's eyes were far away, and his voice was low, "In the name of love, born and coexisting in the world." Death lives in the netherworld. Never give up, never regret it. ”
Wen Yongfu's face is extremely complicated. There is helplessness, regret, and a touch of pride.
In an instant, Hai Linyuan only felt that many things had suddenly become clear. In the past, he didn't understand why Wen Yongfu could always know more than himself, and why he could always make good suggestions for experiments at critical moments. It turned out that he was the founder of the Babel League. The sentence that Wen Xu just said was the rumored last words left by the founder of the Tongtian Alliance. It turns out that this is also the true meaning of no regrets.
There are very few people who know about Wen Yongfu and his wife, but Yingyu happens to be one of them. She only knew that he had put a curse on himself in order to prolong his lover's life. Curses are the most mysterious and terrifying thing in the world, but sometimes they can fulfill the wishes of some people who can't. Of course, there is a price to be paid for using to fulfill wishes.
It's just that she doesn't know what the price is, and at this time, after listening to the conversation between Wen Xu and Wen Yongfu, she knew what Wen Yongfu was paying. Half life, half cultivation, half spiritual power. to bear half of the pain of his lover.
She glanced at Wen Yongfu in surprise, and felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye than before. At the same time, she thought of her husband, if she could have cursed like that, would he still be alive?
"In that case, then come with me." Wen Yongfu took a few people back to the small world.
In an empty room, there are stone statues of gods and demons. Wen Xu had never been here before. He didn't even know that there was such a place in the small world.
"Put her in the center." Wen Yongfu walked to the altar in the middle, "Later, I will hold a ceremony for you, exchange blood and melt souls for you, and from now on, you will be the same life." A lifetime, a loss. Because Changning is injured and about to die, your lifespan will be shared with her. You can't go anywhere for ninety-nine years after the ceremony. You can only stay in the whole altar. Moreover, I cannot guarantee that the ritual will go smoothly and that the curse will be successfully inflicted on you. If there is a slight mistake in the process of inflicting the curse, you may die together. ”
Although Wen Yongfu tried to say it lightly, the people around him could still appreciate the cruelty. Half the life expectancy is equal to half the chance of others. Time will be more precious to them. It is impossible to leave the altar for ninety-nine years, which is equivalent to being imprisoned and completely losing freedom.
Wen Xu only thought that Changning's vitality was fading at this time, and he only hoped that she could live. He didn't want to think about it that much. So he felt a little impatient with Wen Yongfu's repeated explanations. Maybe he will regret it later when he is extremely bored and depressed. Or maybe because of Changning's influence, his cultivation has not been able to progress and suffers, but that is later. He didn't want to think that far now.
He only knew that he wanted to be able to live with Changning. Otherwise, his life will lose its meaning.
"With a flick of your fingers, it is very likely that Fanghua will leave sequelae in an instant, it is possible that it will take a long time for you to wake up after performing a ritual and applying a curse, and it is possible that after awakening, you will be affected by the toxin and your cultivation will not be able to advance again, and you will be in pain for a long time. By then the world as you know it has changed, and you will not only need to adapt to new circumstances and make new friends. And endure the pain that your loved ones have disappeared from your lives. And bear the pain that comes upon you, both physically and mentally. Wen Rong kept looking at Wen Xu steadily, and he still hoped that Wen Xu would listen to him. However, he did not exaggerate the facts, and what he said was absolutely possible.
Wen Xu gently put Changning on the altar, and then sat on the altar himself. Directly express his choice with action.
Wen Rong sighed and retreated, no longer speaking.
Seeing this, Wen Yongfu didn't say more. After a while, the surroundings became silent, and the light slowly dimmed. Jun Wuwu and Chang'an Xiu were the weakest, and they seemed to feel gusts of yin wind constantly lingering around, making them shudder.
There are no gods in this world at all. But it is often mentioned in legends. Because there are things that simply cannot be explained, they can only be attributed to the gods. Just like now, Wen Yongfu can make the world move without understanding or even feeling terrifying just by reciting words. But in fact, it was because of the power of the law, because Wen Yongfu touched a certain law.
Wen Xu felt it quietly, only to feel that the curse was actually an inevitable law in heaven and earth. There are gains and losses, and there are advantages and disadvantages. In fact, this law is quite fair. He was grateful that this law existed in heaven and earth, which allowed him to have a choice at this time. And not at a loss.
Wen Yongfu was very familiar with the ritual because of his experience, and after a while, he saw that the blood on Wen Xu and Changning's bodies was surging automatically, intertwining and merging in the air, forming a magnificent scenery.
Everyone else watched in silence at the magical scene in front of them. Because Hai Linyuan and Yingyu were closer to the Heavenly Dao, they felt the majesty of the Heavenly Dao, and they felt that the Heavenly Dao was far away and difficult to climb. Jun Wuwu and Chang'an only felt surprised and incredible, and felt that this world was incomparably vast, and their desire to explore was even greater.
Wen Rong was extremely painful. Could this be the fate that the Wen family must endure?
In about a quarter of an hour, the ceremony was complete. Light reappeared in the sky once again, and blood returned evenly to Changning and Wen Xu's bodies. Everything seems to have gone back to the way it used to be. But Wen Xu knew that everything was different, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He succeeded, his Changning didn't have to die, he could coexist with Changning between heaven and earth
He could feel that his body was changing, his blood, his cultivation, his spiritual power, and his soul were all renewed. His blood seemed to flow faster, his cultivation had decreased slightly, his spiritual power had become unprecedentedly powerful, and his soul seemed to have merged with Changning's soul.
The most amazing thing is that he can clearly feel the existence of Changning.
"Ah," Wen Rong whispered. Everyone's eyes chased him. Wen Xu's long black and silky hair flew up in the air, slowly changing, black, light black, gray, light gray, gray, silvery-white. His originally youthful countenance also slowly matured.
Unlike Wen Rong's surprise, the others only felt happy. Because it's not just Wenxu that has changed, but Changning is also changing. This proves that the curse has taken effect.
