Chapter 216: The Flower of Mao
Xian Cheng's oral story made Yuna feel a lot, maybe the hidden world is the end of wandering people, and the things that make the boundary between fantasy and reality more and more blurred are definitely not from Huangquan, but the grievances between people, but all hatred has a reason to kill, in any case, those who don't ask the reason and put it into violence have lost their qualifications to be human, and they are not even as good as monsters.
Those who are in danger and have outstanding talents are worthy of her rescue, but she alone is really powerless, and she can't bear to watch Dr. Mo Long being persecuted by that group of crazy Tianzhao disciples, so she has to let it go, saying that if it is good, don't act rashly, and if it is ugly, she will be called a "tool man".
Her situation is no different from that of Mo Hao, being taken advantage of, coerced, powerless to resist, and lonely and helpless to do things against her heart, which is really sad, but just as the opposite of despair is not hope but courage, the synonym of resentment is certainly not anger.
Besides, resentment will make her lose her judgment, which is exactly what those treacherous people are happy to see, and they must calm down and think seriously about countermeasures, according to Lan Yifan's words, in order to lift the curse of the hidden world, the four great families hid the "Heavenly Sound Charm" in the Tianzhao Church, and the only way to reach it is to cross the bridge of the sky.
If the text of the Teachings is obtained by those with evil intentions, it will be used to harm the world, and Parady has foreseen this, so he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life to keep his mouth shut.
Unfortunately, she was not as strong as Paradis, and on the way back, the Heavenly Omen cultists wearing soul disturbing masks passed by one after another, making it difficult for her to find the right time to fight back, and the cultists surrounded the central square, and the ten fingers were combined into an inverted triangle, opening their mouths and chanting prayer songs to welcome her arrival.
When she saw Jasmine, with white flowers on her body and her eyes closed, tied to the hidden tree like a sacrifice, she stopped in amazement and angrily scolded Lan Yifan, who was waiting on the right side of the trunk.
"What did you do to her?"
"Well, very well, Lady Saint, Xian Cheng has already reported to me about your success. Lan Yifan's face twitched, and he deliberately looked away.
Seeing that Lan Yifan didn't seem to hear clearly, Yuna repeated it sternly and asked the other party to release Jasmine immediately.
"Not yet...... Lan Yifan sighed meaningfully.
"What? Do you want to regret it?"
"We still lack an important prop - the Mask of Innocence, you have to wear it to get "Heavenly Sound", remember what I told you before? ”
"You ......," Yuna held out her index finger angrily.
"Don't be discouraged, at least you've completed the first step, and then you're going to the Hidden Ruins Cemetery, located southwest of Tianzhao City, to find an old woman named Wasteland, who alone knows where the Mask of Innocence is. ”
"If I don't say yes, will Jasmine never wake up?" Yuna retracted her fingers.
"She must pay the penalty for her father's sin, and her soul will be transformed into a 'flower of the flower' to nourish the tree of the god of death. Lan Yifan exhaled slightly, "Of course, using the Innocent Mask can awaken Jasmine, but you have to hurry, once her whole body is completely covered by this flower, she will definitely die." ”
"You are so vicious, what is happening at me, why do you have to involve irrelevant people?"
"It's all to blame for Molong's failure to tell the location of the key to the abyss earlier, which caused the hidden realm to be invaded by the dark tide, his sin is unforgivable, and Jasmine, as his daughter, deserves this punishment. Lan Yifan's smile was slightly bitter, "Whether they can be free or not depends on your performance, oh no! ”
"What do you mean?"
"We're just here to survive, aren't you curious about what is written on the text of the training?"
But Parady doesn't think so. ”
"So you've seen that traitor who reneged on his faith!" the thought of this person makes people sigh," Lan Yifan frowned, "Okay, I'll talk to you about this person, when my brother left the Orfinn orphanage, I was still very young, and my memory of him was very vague, and then I heard that he hanged himself in the duty room of the Orno Academy, and my brother regarded him as his own, why couldn't he understand? If he didn't take this desperate path, he would have a chance to succeed him as the headmaster in the future." ”
"He'd rather die than be in cahoots with you. ”
"In his eyes, is the Heavenly Zhao Sect evil?" Lan Yifan accentuated.
"Yes!"
"What about those four great families who claim to be famous and upright? The evil things they do don't have to be less than the Heavenly Zhao Sect, right?"
"Yes......" Yuna hesitated for a moment and replied.
"Don't you think it's unfair that we are trapped here because of the failure of the human sacrifice, and we are about to face a catastrophe, and we have to bear this responsibility?"
"Even so, you have committed many evil deeds, and you deserve this punishment!"
"There's nothing to say about that, think about which side you want to help. Lan Yifan spread out his hand and sneered.
"The gang is under the Hidden Tree, but it's not you. Yuna turned to Jasmine, who was still unconscious, "Wait for me! ”
"When you get to the Hidden Ruins Cemetery, can you do me a favor?" Lan Yifan said, picking a few flowers from Jasmine, silently chanting a spell and turning them into a wreath, "If you see my brother's tomb, give him this cluster of flowers for my mourning." ”
"Lan Yaofan is dead?" Yuna took the wreath and sealed it into the Heavenly Stone.
"Hmm...... Died in a ...... three years ago Unexpectedly, after that, due to the mismanagement of the new principal, the Orno College gradually declined, and finally the school was abolished. ”
"What accident?"
"A flight to Chilu Autonomous Prefecture had an engine failure and unfortunately crashed. ”
Yuna was so surprised that she almost shouted, she didn't expect that Lan Yaofan and Mo Long's parents died for the same reason, maybe it was not a coincidence, she recalled that she had encountered a similar situation when she was in Dragon City, it seemed to be called "soul disturbance phenomenon", inferred from the conversation between the two flight attendants, this phenomenon had happened many times.
The hidden world is the closest place to the Yellow Spring in this world, which is easy to cause "death" or death-related phenomena, many years ago, the plane crash of Molong's parents coincided with the first outbreak of chaos in the hidden world, and Lan Yaofan died just a year before the four great families held the sacrifice of the people, it is difficult to say that it has nothing to do with the riots in the fallen dragon town.
In the past hundred years, from the Hidden Realm to the Fallen Dragon Town, and then to the Dragon City, the scope of influence of the soul disturbance phenomenon has gradually expanded, and if it is not stopped, the consequences will be unimaginable. It seems that Lan Yifan is not a ruthless person, although these two brothers and sisters have done all the bad things, but one of them has been retributed, and the act of offering flowers can be regarded as atoning for the sins of this life for Lan Yaofan.
Lan Yifan didn't ask what Yu Na was thinking when she was silent, and stretched out her hand to the two of the disciples surrounding the Hidden Tree, telling them to show Yu Na the way later.
"No need...... I have the map. Yuna suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly thanked her.
"The Bridge of the Netherworld was destroyed by the Wave Sky Adventure Group during the Battle of the Hidden Realm two years ago, and only mine will repair it, and you can't cross it alone. ”
"Okay! But there's one more thing I'd like to ask. Yuna looked around, looking for a figure from the Tianzhao Sect, "Why isn't Xian Cheng here?"
"He's gone to do the task I gave me, anyway, you'll meet soon. Lan Yifan said in a slurred voice, "Go and go back quickly, only you can wake up Jasmine." ”
"Who said I only saved Jasmine? and Dr. Molon. ”
"Don't be too greedy, one thing can only change one life. ”
"What if it's two? I can give you both the Key to the Abyss and the Mask of Innocence. ”
"We don't need it for the time being, you stay on your body first, and I'll teach you how to use it then. Lan Yifan touched his lower lip and thought for a moment, "This condition is reasonable, so it's better to do this, when you find the mask of innocence, I will tell you the whereabouts of Dr. Molong." ”
"That's what you said...... If you repent again...... Don't think about anything. Yuna glanced at Lan Yifan contemptuously, turned around and strode forward.
The two Heavenly Omen Cultists hurriedly followed behind Youna, but she didn't think so, and regarded the two people wearing a red and a green soul disturbance mask as if they didn't exist, based on past experience, these two people must have the heavy responsibility of monitoring her, referring to the two Heavenly Omen Cultists she met in Yulong City.
It's strange to think about it, the original plan of the Tianzhao Sect was just to catch her, how did Lan Yifan change here, could it be that there are people with a higher status than Lan Yifan? Gui Xun'er had talked to her about the Tianyao Sect rank before, and there was a bishop above the godfather, the highest being the pope, although there were differences between the two religions, but the godfather and godmother were indeed at the same level, that is, the brown-clothed godmother Lan Yifan was also carrying out other people's orders.
Yuna really couldn't think of anyone who had the ability to see through all the situations, and in the dark it was like a pair of invisible hands pulling her to the abyss called "conspiracy", only rigorous reasoning could find a little clue, but it was not enough to get out of the current predicament, not to mention that she had to always guard against the sudden mutation of these two Heavenly Zhao Sect disciples.
The side effects of the Soul Disturbance Mask are also explained in Dr. Moron's notes (2), but those are only relative to ordinary people, and she suspects that all of the Heavenly Omen Cultists have been transplanted with Soul Spirits, and as soon as they die, they will become Bearded Humans, as is the case with the sarcoma Bearded Men she encountered in Fallen Dragon Town.
They were silent all the way, and Yuna inconveniently asked how long the two of them had been wearing soul masking masks, and it was estimated that the two of them were more afraid of being torn apart by the resentful spirit than going crazy and dying. There were some fangs and claws walking on the main road in the west of the city, many of them had died at the hands of the Heavenly Zhao Sect, could they not be afraid?
Yuna, who has the Heavenly Dream Stone Protector, is a little less worried, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to provoke these spirits, they won't attack, as the footsteps of the two Heavenly Omen disciples fade away, the landscape on both sides of the road is obviously different from just now, the buildings are becoming more and more sparse and dilapidated, she has found many damages on the walls and in front of the door, not like the traces of burning, but left by a variety of spells, obviously there was a big battle here.
The two warring parties are the Langtian Adventure Group and the Tianzhao Sect sanctioners, Xue Shaoling told her before that in order to defend this bridge, the Langtian Adventure Group paid a very high price, until the four masters arrived, they defeated Hong Bao and Bai Yao in one fell swoop, and then let the sanctioners run away for various reasons, but the Tianzhao Sect will come back one day sooner or later.
Now Yuna walked to the edge of the bridge of the underworld, and suddenly felt that this bridge overlapped with the broken Luohong Bridge, and Lan Lingxiang's spirit appeared on the other side of the abyss again.
Do you want to chase her? But if you chase her and disappear from her...... It can't be her...... No way......
Just as Yuna was about to walk forward, she was stopped by two Heavenly Zhao Sect disciples who stretched out their hands, and then said in unison: "The Holy Maiden must not be confused by the Abyss Phantom, otherwise it will be doomed. ”
With that, the two of them recited a spell at the same time and began to repair the bridge of the underworld.
