Crescent River Valley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The watershed that once nourished the Crescent Village is now a scourge for the village, with drought, heat, and frequent sandstorms. And the scenery is too simple, in addition to the yellow sand is yellow sand, there will also be some spirits hidden in some dry river valley passages and the like.
The huge sand dunes are boundless at a glance, as if the sky is made of sand! Sandstorms can hit at any time and anywhere...... In such a harsh environment, there were three people standing quietly between the river channel from Crescent Village to the outlet of the Crescent River Valley, staring at the yellow sand in the sky, and the heat and wind and sand could not shake their figures.
"That...... Instant-kun? Mind if I ask you a question? ”
Naiazi looked at the witch on the side, and then cautiously asked the monster in Tsing Yi, no longer looking like he was in a state of anger, and Pei Chen was puzzled for a while.
But there is no way to do it, as long as I think of the true body of the demon clan or the form of the innate god that this guy revealed yesterday, even a little evil god like Naiya who is not afraid of heaven and earth feels his scalp tingle-
Just a snake hyacinth is like a snake as wide as a river;
can easily annihilate the Nine-Tails of the Destruction of a material plane;
It is like a mountain and rock giant god who can hold up the starry sky of the universe on his shoulders in myths and legends......
No matter which one is Pei Chen's future, and no matter which one is Pei Chen's future, he has shown a path, an evolutionary path and strength route that is destined to reach at least a six-star peak of life forms. Even if what she saw at the time was just an illusion, it was very realistic, and it really shocked Naiyazi, so that she always treats Pei Chen as an existence of that level, intentionally or unintentionally......
After all, she is not the real Nyara Totip!
It's just careful and careful, no matter how careful you are.
Of course, this is also what Kikyo requested, saying that as long as Pei Chen himself didn't realize it, then try not to expose yesterday's incident. This principle is somewhat like those ghost phenomena that remain in the world after death, and they are not aware of anything, once they are exposed, they can no longer deceive themselves, and such phenomena will naturally be destroyed......
The consequence is naturally the dog leash.
On the contrary, if you don't know anything, you may live a longer and more nourishing life, isn't there a classic way to die that is called 'you know too much'? The witch was very suspicious that it was precisely because Pei Chen's three completely different wills had been fighting and balancing each other that they had not caused any substantial damage to himself...... At least not yet.
Even he didn't know what happened to him yesterday, which was both a good thing and a bad thing, as long as it wasn't revealed for the time being, the foreign will dormant in his body should not change for the time being until the winner was completely separated, but once it was revealed, it was very likely that the foreign will in his body would immediately rebel......
"What's the matter?" Pei Chen glanced at Naiyako, and then asked rhetorically. I don't know if it's a delusion, but since I lost my mind once yesterday, whether it's Nayako or Kikyo, the two of them look at them with a look that is not quite right-then shouldn't the miracle be celebrated? Why is it such a strange unfolding?
It made him nervous and self-check, thinking that something was wrong with him...... However, if you don't find anything, it is possible that you will not be able to find it at all, unless you return to the infinite space to do a full examination.
"That...... What is the ultimate form of your bloodline evolution? ”
Naiako chose a tactful question, and didn't know why there was a glint of anticipation in her blue eyes, just waiting for him to answer.
Pei Chen thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Who knows, I can't see what that thing is, and any factors may cause a change in the direction of evolution before it is conceived...... But the goal in the early and middle stages should be the snake, well, that is, to cultivate the snake, first find a way to strengthen the life template to that extent, and then consider the problem of the ultimate form! ”
“…… Snakes? Naiako's voice raised slightly, as if she had thought of something, and shrank her head slightly.
"Yes, the Cuban snake eats the elephant and moves the mountain...... At that time, no matter how I say it, I will be able to take the mountains and seas, and dive into the abyss and shrink the ground! Pei Chen seemed to be interested, and happily pointed at the silver-haired and blue-eyed girl and discussed. I feel that kind of power is the real power, it is easy to be able to push mountains and reclaim the sea, and draw rivers into land, and they are all their own essential strength, not tricky methods such as the magic formation......"
Although the witch who was quietly surveying the terrain and observing the environment on the side did not interject, she was also a little surprised when she looked at Pei Chen. Isn't this nonsense? If you can carry thousands of mountains across the boundless sea, if that is not real strength...... What other concepts can be classified as real power?!
……
……
Now the geographical location of several people is at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, west of Crescent Village.
The old village chief of the village and several elderly people looked at Pei Chen and them expectantly behind the three of them, because the three of them said that they could see if there was any way to save this dry river valley and rectify the problem of Crescent Village from the root.
If other people said so, the old village chief and the old man in the village would definitely spray their saliva without hesitation and then drive them out as a god stick who wanted to cheat and drink, and the ordinary god stick would have to have a little eyesight if they wanted to mix it up, and such a poor village would still starve to death.
But the three people in front of them are different.
The three men had come to the village last night in the face of a violent sandstorm. Moreover, the young man at the head just stomped his foot and forcibly suppressed the sand dunes and wind and sand around the village that were about to fly into the sky under the power of nature, and even the sandstorms around him stopped abruptly under this foot, as if the storm and cyclone had been trampled alive......
Since the Crescent River Valley dried up, the people of Crescent Village have been accustomed to frequent intrusion by wind and sand for so many years, and although last night's sandstorm was rare and terrible, it was only rare and not unprecedented. It's just that the people in the village never thought that the terrible sandstorm would be so subdued by a person who stomped his feet and suppressed the earth's qi, which was simple and direct and made people 'sleep' on the spot, the so-called miracle of great strength.
This easy power to suppress the sandstorm and calm the earth's qi is just like the legendary gods, if it weren't for the wrong gender, almost everyone in the village would have to kneel and worship Pei Chen as the legendary mother of the earth, Nuwa, the old village chief was even more excited at that time.
This old man, who had to walk with a cane and trembling when he walked, suddenly showed the strength and agility that a person of his age should have, except for the slightest hint of strength and agility that a person of his age should have, and begged the 'gods' to give this poor village forgiveness with tears in his eyes......
Then Kikyo and Naiako both received a hint that a side quest was triggered, requiring them to restore the environment around the Crescent River Valley to an oasis before the Qionghua faction ascended, and relieve the crisis in Crescent Village, with a very generous reward, a full 400,000 survival points and a B-rank brilliant gem...... Maybe there's also a lot of goodwill from the residents of Crescent Village?!
Of course, the current Crescent Village is poor and white, and it seems that even if the relationship prestige is brushed to the level of [Reverence], it is estimated that there is no substantial benefit, but the previous survival points and brilliant gem rewards can not be avoided, and this is what the team lacks the most now - and Kikyo refuses to obtain her own capital by killing plot creatures, and only the points obtained by such a normal task path can she use it without guilt.
"The earth has dried up, the rivers have run away, and the trees have died...... Almost only the earth's qi remains, and more than ninety percent of it is ...... Aside from the presence of the wind spirit and the earth spirit, the only thing left is the dry and hot fire......" Kikyo closed his eyes for a moment, then shook his head in disappointment, this was already the last leyline near the village.
There is no water vapor, Lei Ling lives above the nine heavens, there is no rain and snow all year round, even the dark clouds can't gather, except for the sandstorm is the scorching sun, the imbalance and chaos of the earth in this place is even more extreme than the Yandi Shennong Cave. In the witch's opinion, this place is hopeless, and it can only be gradually transformed by natural changes in the creation of heaven and earth, and it is difficult for manpower to return to the sky.
Kikyo looked at Pei Chen, his eyes asking for his opinion.
Although she has mastered the five spirits, and the degree of control is very high, but after all, Pei Chen's qualifications are not bad at all, even Baili Tu Su feels that he does not cultivate as an orthodox person, and it is a pity to cultivate immortals and seek the Tao. Moreover, yesterday, this guy inexplicably completely refined the Earth Spirit Bead, and now his mastery and understanding of the power of the Earth Spirit have improved by leaps and bounds to the level of gods and demons.
After all, the progress of the five spirits is not as fast as that of a specialization, and in this aspect of soil erosion and land qi imbalance, I think that Pei Chen is more professional now. As for Nayako? The power system is completely incompatible, and it is even impossible to divide her into camps with the elemental attributes of the material level, so it is better to be an honest melon-eating crowd who does not know the truth.
As expected, he rubbed his eyebrows, wiped his nose again, and said, "My opinion is not much different from yours, but I just think that this place has not yet reached the level of complete incorrigibility...... As long as you grasp the key leylines and regulate the earth's qi, you should be able to alleviate the symptoms of the problem in this place......"
The witch watched him quietly and pretended to be forced, and did not interrupt silently, because she knew that there must be something to be said - although she had mastered the power of the Earth Spirit Bead, she would not be able to fully understand such the strongest power in the world in such a short period of time, otherwise the last Earth Spirit God would not have appeared yesterday.
Moreover, the power of the five spirits is all transformed by the two qi of yin and yang, and no one of the spiritual powers can be independent, after all, they need to support each other and complement each other...... and checks and balances on each other. Otherwise, it would be difficult to break into a system alone, and the witch didn't believe that Pei Chen's current realm was able to use the power of the earth spirit to the level of 'all things born in the earth'.
"Okay, Kikyo, don't look at me like that!" Pei Chen laughed awkwardly a few times, "As you can see, because the power of the water spirit has almost been completely expelled, just regulating the earth's qi is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst...... Once the power I've injected into it is exhausted, the place will eventually return to such a bad condition, and the crushing of the earth may make the environment even worse and the natural recovery rate......"
"So what?" Kikyo said calmly, she is very pitiful and sympathetic to the people here, but she also understands that when manpower is finally exhausted, it will take at least several generations or even dozens of generations to change the natural environment of such a large area and manage the water and soil......
Maybe it's really possible for the shrine maiden in her heyday to do it, after all, the overall rating has reached the level of five stars, but now...... Let's wait until the remaining more than 180 kinds of collectibles are fully collected, and the restriction of infinite space is lifted!
"Do you still need the power of the Water Spirit Bead?" The witch asked with a frown, looking up and down at the monster in front of her with suspicious eyes, very suspicious that the ultimate purpose of this guy was not to seek the water spirit bead by following the plot.
"Ahem...... There's a reason for that, too! Pei Chen calmly admitted, "But it's more that if I don't have the Water Spirit Bead, I really can't do such a thing, what you should know best is ......"
Kikyo thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, and then he was relieved: "So what are you going to do?" You decide......" she whispered, tucking the hair loose around her ear, glancing at the few old men behind her who were anxiously looking forward to it, but who didn't dare to come up and disturb it easily.
Pei Chen waved his hand and made a decision very decisively: "If there is no way to cure the root cause, then treat the symptoms for the time being!" At least that would make their lives a little better...... Let's go explain the situation to them first, and then we'll go to the river in Boxian Town tomorrow to get some water......"
Naiako blinked a few times with big eyes and asked strangely, "Why do you want to fetch water?" ”
The witch immediately understood, and explained to the girl with a slight smile: "First, it is to alleviate the water difficulties of the villagers here, and secondly, it is ...... I should want to use those clear water as a medium to prepare to regulate the leylines and earth qi here! After all, he couldn't have spawned a water spirit out of thin air! ”
"Oh, then I see!"
The three of them turned to go back, and the old village chief and several old men couldn't wait to surround them, smiling as if they were thinking about how to speak so as not to be abrupt. However, Pei Chen was not in the mood to joke or tease these old people, so he took the lead in explaining it out loud, and the gentle look on his face made people feel the slightest unhappiness like a spring breeze.
There is no abruptness in the transformation of this painting style.,Even perfect and natural.,So that the evil god beautiful girl can't help but make a fuss.,I feel that this guy also has the potential to become a god with a thousand faces! When necessary, it can change the style of people and things anytime and anywhere.
"Yes, even the gods are powerless for you? ......" The old village chief looked disappointed and depressed on his face, and even sighed and his eyes became dazed, as if he was reminiscing about something. Like several other old people, his back is rickety, and his face, arms, calves, and even all visible skin are full of criss-crossing marks, like ravines, talking about the ruthlessness and cruelty of the carving knife of time.
Pei Chen would be silent for a long time when he looked at them, and there was always a little more respect in his attitude. Maybe mortals have only been in the dust for a hundred years from birth to death, and they have turned into ashes before seeing the spring and autumn, but they are really trying to live, maybe they are not as dazzling as the existence of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and even humble to the dust, but no one can look down on them.
It is precisely because of this that although Pei Chen always behaves so indifferently, as if he can accept everything and joke about everything, he will never treat the people or other creatures in the mission world as simple NPCs......
Moreover, if it is not an infinite space, I am afraid that I will be like this in the future! No, maybe there is no future at all, because only the dead can be selected by the normal arresting procedures of infinite space...... To put it bluntly, Pei Chen still has a mentality of hurting things and the death of rabbits and foxes.
Most of the apostles in the space are like this, no matter how they are strengthened, no matter how the life form is promoted, the bloodline has changed, the soul has changed, and even the logical thinking and insistence on the concept have changed beyond recognition, but the deepest trace of humanity and the most precious memory in the heart will not be easily extinguished.
Any bloodline is acceptable in order to live, whether it is a werewolf, a bloodline, or an adjuster...... In order to evolve, you can choose any route, whether it is carbon-based, silicon-based, or ghostly...... In order to struggle, you can do anything, whether it is slaughtering a city, destroying a country, or destroying a planet......
However, memory and nature are already the bottom line that is finally adhered to.
Listening to the old village chief's whisper, Pei Chen lowered his eyes slightly, a touch of confusion and gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head gently, and his eyes became firm again. Confusion and weakness or something, it should never appear on your body!!
As if sensing something, the two women next to him glanced at him without a trace at the same time.
“…… It's been a long time ago, Crescent Village used to be a beautiful oasis, and a Crescent River flowed down from Kunlun Mountain, feeding the entire village. At the source of the river there is also a forest, which is not very large, but it grows very luxuriantly. ”
Several old people next to them also smiled bitterly and sighed, and Pei Chen and the three of them were silent.
“…… After those trees fell, the water of the Crescent River slowly dried up...... Everyone regretted it, tried many ways to restore the water source, and even built a new altar to pray to heaven, but to no avail...... The gods have been enraged......"
"In recent years, the Crescent River has dried up completely, and many people have died of serious illnesses due to lack of water...... There are also young and vigorous people who left here to live elsewhere, but never returned...... You say it's best to migrate, and we know that, but how can the orphans and widows in the village withstand the long journey......"
"More importantly, Crescent Village is a place where our ancestors have settled down for generations, as the village head, can I ...... Can't even keep this homeland...... I'm unwilling, I'm really unwilling, so unwilling......"
The most terrible thing is not never having it, but suddenly losing it after having it; The most terrible thing is not that there is no hope, but that there is hope and then it is lost. The old village chief was talking and talking, and the old tears were all over the place, and in the end he even cried loudly.
The other old people seemed to be infected by the emotions of the old village chief, and cried bitterly one after another, these old people in their seventies and eighties were crying so desperately, it made people feel sad when they looked at it, I am afraid that even the tiger will have compassion. Kikyo stretched out his hand to say something, but couldn't open his mouth.
The three of them could only watch the old men howl and cry, venting their suppressed emotions until they calmed down.
"I'm sorry old man, I really tried my best, and I'm just a demon and not a god...... At most, it can only temporarily regulate the earth's qi here, so that it is no longer so hot and dry, if you want to change for a long time, you have to need the water spirit bead, but unfortunately it is a treasure in the world, we have only heard of it......"
Pei Chen smiled slightly bitterly, and explained softly on the side, but the words were intentionally or unintentionally guiding the old village chief's thinking.
Although he was a little unkind, Pei Chen didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and he was telling the truth. Even the shrine maiden just glared at him fiercely, her eyes full of blame, but she didn't say anything to stop it.
The old village chief wiped a handful of tears and smiled bitterly: "If the demons are as kind as you, little brother, they will naturally be gods...... It doesn't make a difference to any of us...... It's really too gaffe, it makes you laugh......" Although he didn't notice anything wrong with Pei Chen's words, the seeds had already been planted, just waiting to take root and sprout.
After a long time of persuasion, the old men finally turned around with disappointment and gratitude, and walked back to the village tremblingly on crutches or by each other's arms. A circle of black and oppressive crowds in the distant village looked at them expectantly, but they waited for the disappointing news, and they all sighed and sighed.
However, not everyone is disappointed and depressed, many people have great hopes for the next self-proclaimed demon god who will regulate the earth's qi and suppress the earth's leylines......
"What about people who work very hard! And he sees the essence of things very thoroughly......" Just when the witch was silent, Pei Chen suddenly spoke up, "Then again, is there really any essential difference between demons and immortals?" ”
"No ......" After continuing to be silent for a moment, just when Pei Chen thought that he would not get an answer, Kikyo spoke, and the tone of his voice was undoubted, "The difference is only in people's hearts......"
"Yes, people's hearts ......" The monster pinched his chin, nodded slowly, and looked at the villagers who were scattered in the distance, "Shengmien, Doumi hatred...... Kindness becomes enmity, and people's hearts are changeable...... It's not that everyone looks like the old village chief, they see it so thoroughly! ”
Naiako, who felt that the painting style of the two was obviously wrong from just now, couldn't help it anymore, and decided to come out to brush up on the sense of existence: "Eh? What do you mean ......? ”
"Isn't it clear enough, because we can't really solve the problem here, and we give them hope but can't achieve it...... Now some villagers in the village are already dissatisfied with us, and even hateful ......" Pei Chen helplessly touched Naiyazi's little brain and smiled meaningfully.
As the team with the sharpest mental power, he clearly felt that the sight stolen from a distance was ...... There are too many that bring dissatisfaction and even malice. (To be continued.) )
