Chapter 272: The Old Man
Zhuoma was slightly stunned for a moment after listening to Tianxian's words, and then shook his head with a smile, "Impossible, that brainless fool usually sees rules and things more important than his life, after my accident, he can still sit firmly in his position as the city commander without going to the elders to fight hard, from this you should see how rigid he is!"
Saying that, Zhuoma couldn't help but sigh, "This time I changed back to my previous appearance, and I don't know how he will react, hey...... When the time comes, you must look at me with suspicion, maybe you will have to try a way to verify that I am really Zhuoma, and when I think of this, I suddenly don't want to go back. ”
Speaking of Vero, Zhuoma sighed greatly, it seems that during the time of her accident, she also had a little bit of complaints about Vero, but she has always pressed it in her heart, and now her body has completely recovered to its former appearance, so it is easy to talk about these things in front of others.
"And ......," Dolma's eyes changed slightly, "if you want to leave the ancient city with the help of Vero, then it is better to dispel this idea as soon as possible." ”
"Is he so unsentimental?" I think he must be a very affectionate man, perha......ps," Tian Xian said in a speculative tone.
"Impossible!" Dolma immediately interrupted Tian Xian's words, "You have to understand how much trouble we made when we came out of Tooth City, even if the ancient city does not take strict care of us, but the others will definitely be more vigilant, and the possibility of trying to sneak away this time is almost zero!"
Tianxian thought about it carefully, and what Zhuoma said was not unreasonable. With the experience of the last time, the people who planned to intercept themselves must have been completely prepared for a long time, and it is no longer realistic to want to take advantage of the chaos to slip away.
Thinking of the experience of creating chaos and rushing out of Tooth City last time, Tian Xian still couldn't help but think of the four girls, last time at the last moment, if the four girls hadn't led people to entangle Vero, maybe they wouldn't have been able to rush out of the city.
Since that time, the only news I have received about her is that she will return to the Blood Alliance's headquarters to be punished, and perhaps be abandoned.
Tianxian couldn't help frowning slightly. "Whether there is a way to leave. Let's get out of here and go to Tooth City, I'm going to take a look in the evening to see if there's anything we need to buy, and we'll leave tomorrow morning!"
"So early?"
Gu Li, who had been eating with her head bored, finally opened her mouth. And looked at Tianxian with some surprise.
"Hmm!" Tian Xian nodded. "Go back early. You can also plan ahead! Any questions?"
Gu Li was glanced at by Tianxian's puzzled gaze, and suddenly remembered the misunderstanding in the bathroom before, and her face was hot. Immediately avoid your gaze, "It's nothing, then tomorrow will be fine!"
Zhuoma knew that the snow would never have any meaning for Tianxian's decision, and said with a smile: "It's okay, we have also been away from Tooth City for a while, and when I go back this time, I don't want to continue to stay in Thunder Ancient City, so leave this ghost place early, and I don't want to come back again in this life!"
Tianxian looked at her, "What about what happened in the Divine Domain......"
Zhuoma smiled slightly, "Little ghost, don't you still understand? But if there are some things with a heavy mission, there is no reason to give them to an older married woman, I will naturally not forget those things, and I will make some efforts accordingly, but this is obviously a task that you are the main character to complete!"
Tian Xian didn't refute, although Dolma said these words in a half-joking tone, but apparently she guessed what Norma meant.
"I haven't figured out what I'm going to do right now, anyway...... Let's go back and talk to that bastard first, no matter how dissatisfied I am with him, I'm still my man. Dolma sighed again, "If it hadn't happened to such a strange thing in the Divine Domain, I think we should be very harmonious by now, this damn place really hurts me." ”
A few people simply ate something before leaving the table, and someone outside had already invited Tian Xian to the Elder Tower to discuss things, but this time it was obviously not as tense as the first time, and it was somewhat routine.
The city lord was still there, but he didn't mention the things he had said before to Tian Xian, let alone the matter of wanting Tian Xian to join the Longyuan Empire, it seemed that this old man was very patient and confident.
This time it was still a discussion about what happened in the Divine Domain, and after a day, many of the items brought back had new progress in the process of deciphering, and based on these progresses, the elders carried out a very rigorous and thorough discussion, discussing and formulating a general plan and specific action details when exploring the Divine Domain in the future.
Occasionally, he was asked about the situation, and most of the time he had nothing to do, and it stayed until late at night, when the meeting ended.
Leaving the Elder's Tower, Tian Xian went directly to the Exchange Square in the center of the city, where it was still full of people, countless bargaining voices swayed back and forth in the air, and the exits were closed with huge numbers, and the people who listened were dumbfounded.
Tian Xian is somewhat immune to this situation now, strolling through the bustling crowd, casually looking at the goods, hoping that something will appear in his eyes.
However, after a while, Tian Xian had to admit that although he had become rich overnight before, his property had been distributed to the three of them, and he only had some loose money in his pocket, and it seemed a little difficult to buy good things in such a place where the price of millions of gold coins was at every turn.
And I don't seem to know what I need......
After all, I can't inherit the stigma, it's useless! Tian Xian sighed helplessly, although almost everything around this exchange square can be found, especially the one about the stigma, but now he still can't inherit the stigma, and the value of these things to himself is completely equal to zero.
After walking a few laps, Tian Xian suddenly felt bored, and immediately took out all the money in his pocket, bought some dry food and clothes and other reserves, and left directly.
Tomorrow morning to leave for the city of Tooth, the others went to sleep first, when Tian Xian pushed the door open, only to see Xue in a nightgown, sitting at the table dozing, with a flower rope in his hand, it seems that he is waiting for his return. But I'm already sleepy and don't have the energy to kill time anymore.
"Black!"
Seeing that Tianxian came back, Xue suddenly got up, ran to Tianxian in three steps and two steps, and threw himself into Tianxian's arms, "Why are you ...... so late?"
Tian Xian smiled apologetically, "I went to buy some necessities again, I haven't seen such good things since I left here, sorry for coming back late!"
"Hmm......" Xue rubbed her face, and she was already a little confused after only two sentences, "That...... Slept. ”
Tian Xian looked at the snow that immediately fell asleep. I couldn't help but laugh. I feel a burst of warmth in my heart, although many things have not been very satisfactory, but there is always such a girl who relies on herself and cares about herself...... Always remind yourself to be strong. Also remind yourself that someone is waiting for you.
"Sleep. He kissed Snow lightly on the forehead. Tianxian picked her up. Gently placed on the bed......
"Hmm......" Xue lay on her stomach in Tian Xian's arms for a short while, and she had fallen asleep in a daze......
"Sleep, tomorrow we're on our way. ”
......
The sky is bright. I wake up with a hundred times more energy.
After urging a few times, Xue reluctantly climbed down from Tianxian, rubbed her eyes, and looked out the window with some frowns, the night seemed too short for her......
Zhuoma also got up early, and then went to drag Guli, who was still asleep, out of the quilt, freshened up, and quickly stood in front of Tianxian in full gear.
This time, the four of them no longer sneaked out of the city, and they came directly to the Elder's Tower and met with the two great elders, Morgan and Moen.
Knowing that Tianxian was suddenly going to return to Tooth City, Morgan and Moen had a slight surprise, but of course they had no reason to stop Tianxian from leaving, just a little warning, don't cause any more trouble, and just let them go.
The four of them didn't pay much attention to the departure of the outer city, in this city, most of the people only paid attention to the members of the exploration team who returned from the inner city, almost all of them were heavy treasures, compared to the four of them, although they obviously had a bizarre experience, but the people here were not uncommon to those bizarre experiences.
Early mornings are the quietest time in the outer city, and after a long night of hustle and bustle, the city needs a little rest, and the morning will be a relatively calm time.
Morgan and Moen personally sent the four of them to the gate, which attracted some attention.
"Little ghost, are you going to leave Thunder Ancient City immediately when you go back this time?" Moen looked at Tianxian with a worried look.
"Elder Morn, don't worry, even if I have to leave, nothing like that in Tooth City will happen again!"
Moen nodded, but immediately shook his head, "There are some things I shouldn't have said, but I think since you've returned safely from the Divine Domain, I'd give you a final reminder." ”
Tian Xian was stunned, "Elder Moen, please speak!"
"The world outside the ancient city, intrigues! Although these are inevitable in the ancient city, it is still a quiet and safe place, you have been watched by too many eyes now, and even the city lord is interested in letting you join the empire, so ......"
"Does Elder Moen want me to stay in the ancient city?" Tian Xian picked out what Moen meant.
"Hmm!" Moen nodded, "I think if you stay here, you will definitely have more achievements, and when you are older and have enough capital and strength, it will no longer be a problem to go anywhere at that time." ”
Tian Xian first gave a polite salute, "Thank you Elder Moen for your kindness, but don't you think that in this case, the ancient city is no different from those people outside?"
Moen was slightly speechless, and finally shook his head and sighed, "Forget it! Speaking of which, it is true, the ancient city also hopes to win over your forces, since you are unwilling, we will naturally not be reluctant, but if you change your mind, we still welcome you back!"
Seeing that Moen was so sincere, Tian Xian said with a straight face: "Elder Moen's words, Tian Xian will take it to heart, if I change my mind, I will definitely come back as soon as possible." ”
Moen nodded, "Well, in that case, I'm not going to delay your time, if you go well enough, you should be able to get back to Tooth City in a day, remember!
Tianxian couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, "Elder Moen, don't worry, this time it will definitely not be!"
"Well, go ahead, young man!"
Tianxian turned around to leave, and suddenly remembered something, turned back and asked, "Elder Moen, I don't know if you can ask me to answer a question!"
"What doubts?"
"What is the Void Gate!?" asked Tian Xian strangely.
"Void Gate?" Morn frowned, "where did you know about this thing?"
"We are in the tides of light. Hearing this, we were taken to the inner city, but the rest of my friends were left behind, and the voice said that they could not walk with him without experiencing the Void Gate!"
"Void Gate ......"
Moen pondered for a moment, then said, "Is it those ancient wills that say that? I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and it seems that I need to go back and rearrange the information." ”
Seeing Moen talking to himself, Tian Xian felt even more strange, "Elder Moen. Are you listening to me?"
"Of course!" Moen looked at the sky. Lang Sheng said, "The so-called Void Gate is recorded in some texts of the Broken Era, but most of them are unknown. As stated above. It's not really a door. It's a process!"
"Process?"
"Experience the process of death!"
Not only were the days idle, but the three of them were also stunned.
"Dead ...... Process?" Tian Xian blinked his eyes, full of doubt. "What does that mean?"
Moen replied, "If a person has experienced death firsthand, then he will no longer be the same as his former self, that is, he has crossed the invisible void gate and reached another world beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
"I have personally experienced death...... "Tian Xian couldn't help but look at the three people around him.
"These are all incomplete information, and there is no systematic explanation, so I can only sue you so much. Moen shook his head with some regret, "Perhaps, those great wills disdain to be in the company of ordinary people, and if they want to walk with the Holy Spirit, they must cross the threshold that other Holy Spirits cannot cross, probably so." ”
Is that so? Tian Xian is still puzzled.
But apparently Moen couldn't provide more information, so he had to give up.
After thanking Elder Moen, the four of them bid farewell to the outer city and embarked on the return journey back to Tooth City.
This trip is relatively easy, in the Thunder Ancient City from the central area to walk out of the outside almost no pressure, there is even a feeling of being pushed behind the back, walking is light and fluttering, very effortless.
And it was very obvious that the four of them felt that the oppressive force of the ancient city had weakened a lot.
"It seems that we are gradually becoming immune to the oppressive forces here!" Dolma said with a little emotion, looking back at the tall sacred mountain.
"Indeed, it saves more energy than when he was outside Yacheng!" "Although Gu Li's body is no longer in serious trouble, his injuries have not fully recovered, and the power of the stigmata cannot be fully exerted, but he can walk freely.
The snow is still the same as before, as if there is no strong oppressive force in the air, and it is very happy to follow the sky step by step.
And the most obvious feeling is the leisure.
Running meekly against the heart, Tian Xian's body exudes a faint red glow, resisting the pressure of the outside world with his own life force, Tian Xian clearly feels the weakening of that power, and after leaving the outer city, this power seems to be adapting to its own resistance, attenuating at a rapid speed.
At this rate, maybe you won't feel this kind of pressure in the air before you reach Tooth City.
It seems that Norma secretly made some arrangements.
Tianxian's speculation soon became a fact, starting from the outer city, before it reached ten noon, several people were surprised to find that the pressure around them disappeared without a trace......
"It seems that that Norma guy has treated us a lot of favorably!" Dolma laughed happily, "Does this mean that in the future, as long as we are within the scope of the ancient city, we will almost be very invincible, as long as we trick anyone in, then we can defeat him by delaying time......!" Hmph, I might finally be able to teach that bastard Vero a hard lesson!"
Tianxian couldn't help laughing, "I think even if there is no such thing, he will not dare to resist!"
Dolma immediately rolled his eyes.
Tianxian was suddenly stunned, because Gu Li seemed to be very excited.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Tian Xian strangely.
Guli bit her lip, "In that case...... I think I can spend a little more time in Zoya. ”
Tian Xian's eyebrows moved slightly, and then nodded with a smile, "Yes, we can bring some things to visit her, presumably she is also worried about us during this time!"
"Hmm!!" Gu Li nodded with great pleasure.
When they found traces of Yacheng on the horizon, the four of them changed their route and deviated a long way from the road to Yacheng, and finally, the four of them stopped in a flat wilderness, and in a meadow of flowers stood Zhuoya's grave.
Obviously, except for Tianxian and Gu Li, no one knew about this place before, Zhuoya's tomb was lying quietly on that small grass, and the grass vines had climbed on the tombstone, and many beautiful flowers had bloomed.
Her black, broken sword was still stuck in front of the grave.
"Zoya, I'm back!"
None of the three of them stepped forward, and Gu Li came to Zhuoya's tomb alone, greeting her sisters softly, as if she usually returned home.
Squatting down to clean up the weeds in front of Zhuoya's tomb, fiddling with the flowers, Guli said softly: "Look, I really survived, hehe...... When I entered the Divine Domain at that time, I really didn't know the bottom of my heart, thinking that maybe dying with you would be the best choice, but I didn't expect that I really survived. ”
Gently stroking Zhuoya's tombstone, Gu Li said slowly and affectionately: "Sister...... If only you were alive, I...... This time we really got rid of the shackles of the past, and the two of us should have been together. ”
"You're so stupid...... If I had waited a little longer, I might have ......."
Snorting, Gu Li gripped the black thin sword over there, "I'm sorry, I'm going to take this sword now, because I may not be able to see you for a long time in the future, but I'll keep my sword, hehe...... Even if you're not happy, you won't object to it now!" (To be continued......)
