Chapter 149: The Meaning of Existence, the Meaning of Life
On the morning of the second day of the battle, the patriarch summoned a group of young warriors to convene an emergency meeting.
Among them, Li is the leader, including Yang Cheng. Because of the bravery of the battle, the name Houyi replaced by Yang Cheng is second only to Li in the clan.
"Father, are you saying that you can really find a solution to our clan's crisis in the Lingyuan Cave?!"
Li's eyes shone with sparkle, including the forty tribesmen who had been chosen.
"That's right, the war is tight right now, and I won't let you go until I have to!"
After hearing what the patriarch said, Li was puzzled again, "Father, you haven't told us what exactly is in the Lingyuan Cave, why can you save us from the crisis?"
"The matter has come to this, I will not hide it," the patriarch's body was a lot stiffer at that moment, and because of the use of forbidden arts, his strength was not ordinary weak, and he coughed twice and said: "There was originally the birthplace of our Jingwei ancestors, and there, there are the most powerful prohibitions and treasures, and only our Jingwei people can break the seal and obtain treasures." β
"Treasure?!" Yang Cheng was stunned, suspicious in his heart, and immediately secretly contacted Zero.
"Zero, can you check for me, what kind of treasure is hidden in the Lingyuan Cave that the patriarch said before, can it really solve the urgent need of the Jingwei clan?"
And at this moment, I listened to the patriarch's voice: "Originally, my clan had ancestral teachings, if it was not to the point of last resort, we must not alarm the ancestors, and we must not take the treasures without permission, otherwise there will be bad luck in the future." And now, the demons have launched attacks one after another, and they can't take care of so much at the moment of life and death. β
"Father, what can we do to get that treasure and save our people?"
Hearing Li's question, the patriarch pondered for a moment and replied: "The ancestors have clouds, and if you want to obtain treasures, you must be sincere. Starting from the tribe, you must not ride or resist the wind, you must bow every three miles, and you must pray sincerely, so that you can sense the spirits of your ancestors. After arriving at the Lingyuan Cave, the ancestors will naturally give you hints and will naturally tell you how to obtain treasures!"
"However, our clan is far away from the Lingyuan Cave, if you don't ride or resist the wind, it will take at least five days to go back and forth, if during this period, the demon clan attacks again......"
"Shut up, going to the Lingyuan Cave is a major matter for the ancestors, and you must do it without distractions, otherwise even if you reach your destination, you will return empty-handed. Li, if you can't take on this great responsibility, then you can only choose someone else!"
"Father, I am willing, I am willing to lead my clan to the Lingyuan Cave!"
Hearing that he could save the Jingwei people, how could Li refuse, even if he was scolded by his father.
"Okay, time is urgent, you should go now, remember, you must bow every three miles, every five miles, and you must pray sincerely, otherwise you will never be able to retrieve the treasure!"
"Li knows, Li will take people to set off!"
Because of the urgency of time, Li didn't have any delay at all, and after bidding farewell to the patriarch, he led the forty clansmen directly to Lingyuan Cave.
At this moment, the patriarch standing at the gate of the tribe watched the group of people leave, and suddenly he couldn't help it anymore, and a mouthful of blood was already spurting out.
Previously, because of the use of forbidden arts, although he and the clan elders killed the war demon beast together, it was completely equivalent to consuming lifespan, plus he was seriously injured, and he was obviously in his last years.
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch!"
Seeing the patriarch like this, several clansmen on the side went up to help.
But the patriarch refused everyone, and he tried his best to look in the direction where Li left, but the wind and sand outside gradually rose, and it had already blocked the figure of the group.
"Laiβ"
The patriarch stretched out his somewhat dry hand, he wanted to grasp something, but now he couldn't.
A line of old tears slipped from the corners of the patriarch's eyes, but soon, they were wiped away by him.
"At the very least, at least leave a way for my people to live. Lai, you are my favorite child, forgive my father, take care. β
Yang Cheng, who left the tribe, now also received a reply from zero.
"Master, I have already checked, the so-called Spirit Source Cave is empty, and there can be no treasures at all!"
"Zero, are you mistaken, the patriarch clearly said that there are treasures left by the ancestors, is there something you missed when you checked it?"
"Master, I've confirmed it many times, it's empty, and there can't be any treasures at all!"
Yang Cheng: "...... In that case, letting Li take this group of selected people to Lingyuan Cave is a scam in itself?"
"I don't want to say it, but it's true. β
Yang Cheng sighed in his heart, "I understand what the patriarch meant, but now, how am I going to face them?"
Looking at the color of hope in Li's eyes, can he bear to tell her the truth, as for the chosen person around him, it is obviously the last bloodline of the Jingwei clan that the patriarch intends to stay.
How can I say these words to Li?!
"Zero, can I help?"
"The master knows in his own heart, so why should he come to ask me?"
There was a trace of reluctance on Yang Cheng's expression, "Yes, it's because I understand it too well that I can't make a move, even if I watch it all happen." β
"Death is not all the end, and life is not all happiness. What's more, if the master has to pity and meddle in everything, when will the master be busy in these hundreds of millions of planes. What's more, when the master breaks everything with his own hands, then it directly denies the meaning of the existence of things themselves, just like the master himself, living and dying, living and destroying, what is the meaning?"
"So until now, I haven't made a shot. β
"Master, I can feel that you have been confused since you arrived in this tribe, and now?"
"It's almost relieved," Saying this, Yang Cheng exhaled deeply and said seriously: "Zero, I will protect Fen Shuicheng, Daddy, you, Yingqiu, Hua Ning, Zidui, Meng'er and all the people." β
"Master, you are the Supreme of All Worlds, it doesn't seem appropriate to use the word guardian, right?"
"No, what I am saying only represents me, not the status of the Supreme of All Worlds. β
"Well, master, if one day, you find that zero is not as ...... as you know and imagine"
Zero was supposed to say something, but halfway through the sentence, he suddenly fell silent again.
"Zero, what do you want to say?"
"Forget it, what to do with the master, it's imperative, the master still thinks about his own situation and the matter of the daughter you have made up. β
Yang Cheng saw that he didn't put aside the topic, and he didn't go to his heart, and accidentally turned his head inadvertently, and he saw the Jingwei tribe that was about to disappear in his field of vision.
Above the sky there, there is an indomitable will, which is worthy of praise and sacredness!
Even the Supreme of the Ten Thousand Worlds must maintain respect for that indomitable soul!
