Chapter 15: The Calm Before the Storm
Changming Candle Huang is Ye Chen's portable sword when he was in the Sword Yuan Continent, and it is also his natal sword, the sword of the Imperial Tribulation, to him, like a relative, like a close friend.
Ye Chen, who woke up from a trance and surprise, checked the condition of his body.
I didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise, which attracted the light of the stars and broke through the condensation realm in one fell swoop, but how did this everlasting candle come with me?
"Is it because of the Candle Dragon's Marrow?" Ye Chen guessed in his heart.
The legend of the marrow of the candle dragon is the bone marrow left in the world by the ancient god candle dragon during the immortal civilization period, which contains the breath of the candle dragon and has the ability to manipulate time and space.
"You can't go in!" Just when Ye Chen was puzzled, Ye Yun's shout suddenly came from outside the classroom.
Ye Chen's expression froze, pushed the door and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the classroom, he saw Ye Yun standing in front of more than a dozen people, glaring at them angrily, and his little face was flushed with anger.
"Brother, you're out! It's okay, I'm worried to death. Ye Yun saw Ye Chen walking out of the classroom, his expression was relieved, and he said very happily.
Ye Chen nodded to Ye Yun and shifted his gaze to look at the crowd, there were no psionic people among these people, they were all ordinary people.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Chen took a step forward.
Everyone present quickly took a step back, as if they were hiding from some flood beast.
"Ye Chen!"
"Is it really him?"
"Damn, that baby must have been obtained by him!"
Annoyance, frustration, and all sorts of emotions are revealed in their words.
Ye Chen chuckled and said, "What baby? Let's hear it. ”
Ye Yun on the side tugged at the corner of Ye Chen's clothes and said: "Brother, the daylight here just now suddenly turned into night, and there was a strange fog, and there were many pillars of light descending from the sky, that scene was like a fairyland, the stars fell, it was amazing!" ”
"So, you think there's a strange treasure born?" Ye Chen naturally knew what was going on with the vision of heaven and earth, and there was also a different treasure, that is, the everlasting candle.
At this moment, a slightly bald middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the crowd, if Ye Chen remembered correctly, this should be a certain director of the school's academic affairs office, this person came to Ye Chen.
"Bang"
actually knelt down directly in front of Ye Chen, and cried with tears in his eyes: "Ye Chen, I beg you, lend me that treasure to use, I beg you, when I go out, all my family property is yours, I ...... I want to go out and meet my elderly mother! ”
The remaining dozen people, including middle-aged people and students, also knelt down one after another, begging Ye Chen bitterly.
More than a dozen people knelt in front of him, crying and begging with all their might, and the entire corridor seemed to be filled with a sad atmosphere.
Ye Chen closed his eyes and was silent, but Ye Yun was already a little soft-hearted, and whispered to Ye Chen: "Brother, or ......"
It seemed that seeing that things might turn around, the cries of these dozen people became louder.
Ye Chen didn't wait for Ye Yun to finish his words before interrupting: "Xiao Yun, haven't you seen what the world has become?" ”
Ye Yun's face turned pale in an instant, blood was pouring in, stumps were everywhere, and the scene of piles of white bones flashed in front of her eyes again.
"Brother, let's go." Ye Yun took a deep look at these crying people, the sympathy had disappeared, turned around and pulled Ye Chen, and walked towards the staircase.
Ye Chen was about to leave, but his figure suddenly froze, and the bald middle-aged man suddenly crawled over and hugged Ye Chen's big thighs.
"Ye Chen, you are already strong enough, that treasure is nothing to you! I beg you, lend us us. ”
And Ye Chen was unmoved, and with a shock of the strength under his feet, he bounced the person away, and his footsteps kept leaving here with Ye Yun.
"Ye Chen, you can't die well!" All sorts of curses came from behind.
At this time, the vision of heaven and earth had disappeared, and the sky outside naturally returned to normal, and when Ye Chen and Ye Yun walked out of the teaching building, they saw a large crowd of people surrounding the door of the teaching building.
Ye Chen didn't want to entangle with these people, so he directly wrapped the starlight aura around him, and lined up a way in the crowd, and in his eyes of surprise, jealousy, or resentment, he pulled Ye Yun over as if no one was around.
After staying away from the crowd, Ye Chen took Ye Yun to sit down in a small pavilion by the playground and said, "Xiaoyun, sit down, I'll help you check your body." ”
Ye Yunxiao's face flushed, and she squirmed: "In ...... Over here? ”
Ye Chen poked Ye Yun's head and said, "Little girl, don't think nonsense. ”
Ye Yun snorted lightly and poked me again, but still listened to Ye Chen's words and sat down beside him obediently.
"Well, the body has been refined by the power of the stars and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and with a little cultivation, you can reach the Refining Realm." Ye Chen carefully pinched Ye Yun's fair-skinned arm a few times.
Ye Yun was a little embarrassed by Ye Chen's pinch, and whispered, "Brother, are you really checking your body?" ”
Ye Chen didn't answer, but asked Ye Yun: "Xiao Yun, there are two paths now, which can allow you to have extraordinary power, I hope you choose for yourself." ”
Ye Yun, who was still thinking nonsense, was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Chen blankly and said, "Extraordinary power? ”
Ye Chen nodded and continued: "The first way is to teach you to practice martial arts as I said before, this method is the safest, but the speed is slower, and the other way is to awaken spiritual energy, but although spiritual energy can form a good strength in a short period of time, it will cause people's mental nature to deviate." ”
"I choose psionics!" Ye Yun said categorically.
Ye Chen didn't ask the reason, but said softly: "Okay, but I don't know the conditions for spiritual energy awakening, I will first pass on to you a method of soul cultivation to lay a good foundation for the future, and in the same way, the physique must also keep up." ”
Ye Yun nodded yes, then closed her eyes and relaxed her spirit, and then she felt a wisp of familiar breath with a clear light appear in her mind, and slowly retreated after leaving a thought.
"What a simple name for "Gathering Spirits"." Ye Yun muttered.
Ye Chen stood up and said with a smile: "Although the name is simple, this "Gathering Divine Technique" is much more clever than the "Clear Void Refining Divine Method" given to Yang Tong, let's go back first, and I'll teach you how to get started." ”
Ye Yun nodded, grabbed Ye Chen's left arm and said, "Then let's go back~"
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, and let Ye Yun lead him towards an office, which was the temporary residence of Ye Chen's brothers and sisters.
……
It was night, and the stars twinkled in the sky like black jade, and the power of the stars sprinkled to the ground.
Ye Chen walked alone on the playground, his shadow being pulled under the slightly yellowed light.
He came out when Ye Yun entered the fixed realm, Ye Yun's talent for cultivating the soul was extremely high, Ye Chen just gave a little guidance, she would be able to enter the meditation cultivation, and Ye Chen because the realm had just broken through, and the evil aura of the stars around him had not yet dissipated, for fear of disturbing Ye Yun, he walked out after laying a warning sword outside the office.
Under the silent night sky, Ye Chen felt that his heart was extremely peaceful, he knew that it was because of the "Galaxy Sword Codex", bathing in the starlight was a great pleasure for him.
But at this moment, Ye Chen faintly heard the sound of crying coming from the gazebo in the corner of the playground.
Ye Chen was puzzled in his heart, as if he had walked over there.
A girl in a plain dress with a big ponytail on her head was sitting on the ground of the gazebo, staring at the sky and sobbing softly.
"Fang Su?" Ye Chen shouted softly, it turned out that this girl was Ye Chen's tablemate.
"Huh?" Fang Su was obviously taken aback by Ye Chen, who suddenly appeared, hurriedly wiped his tears, and then turned his back to Ye Chen and said, "You...... What are you doing here? ”
Ye Chen walked to Fang Su and sat down, and said, "Come out for a walk, I didn't expect to run into you, why are you here?" ”
Fang Su's voice was still a little trembling because he couldn't hold back his crying, "I'...... Just to look at the stars. ”
Ye Chen turned to Fang Su and squatted down, and said, "You can also see crying when you look at the stars, who bullied you?" ”
"You're bullying me! Don't look, I'm so ugly now. Fang Su saw Ye Chen running in front of him and hurriedly turned his head.
"Homesick?" Ye Chen said softly.
"You!" Fang Su turned his head sharply and glared at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked at the originally gentle and gentle girl in front of her, but now her crying eyes were red like a tearful person, she chuckled lightly and pointed to her shoulder.
"You're still laughing! Woo woo woo...... "Fang Su couldn't hold back any longer, and cried when he lay on Ye Chen's shoulder.
Nephrite was warm and fragrant in his arms, Ye Chen patted Fang Su's back to show comfort, but he didn't want her to cry even more, Ye Chen was helpless, so he had to wait for Fang Su to finish crying.
After more than half an hour, Fang Su's crying gradually stopped, and at this time, she also realized that she was lying on Ye Chen's shoulder, and hurriedly got up and sat with her back to Ye Chen.
A whisper as thin as a mosquito came out of Fang Su's mouth: "I'm sorry...... Thank you. ”
"Ye Chen, you say, can I still see my family, I ...... Will they be able to go home, and what will the outside world be like? Fang Su asked in a trembling voice.
Ye Chen was silent.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it, now I can at least have a glimmer of hope and some hope." Fang Su's tone was already a little desperate.
Ye Chen suddenly patted Fang Su's shoulder and said, "Turn back." ”
Fang Su turned around in confusion, but saw Ye Chen's right hand raised high, his palm facing the sky.
"Lead!"
With a soft drink, a bright and clear light fell from the sky into Ye Chen's hand, which was the pure star power that he had condensed with the evil qi of the stars.
At the same time, Ye Chen's left hand opened slightly, and a small sword about three centimeters long suddenly appeared, its shape was the same as that of Changming Candlelight, and then Ye Chen's hands were folded, and Starlight and the small sword merged into one.
"Here you go." Ye Chen handed this miniature Everbright Candle Huang to Fang Su, this was a talisman he had cultivated with the projection of the Everbright Candle and the power of the stars, which could defend against an ordinary Condensation Realm attack.
Fang Su didn't refuse, took the little sword in his hand and said stunned: "This is ...... Is your spirit capable? ”
Ye Chen said: "Sort of, it's so late, I'll send you back." ”
Fang Su nodded, "Well, thank you." ”
There was nothing to say all the way, and after Ye Chen sent Fang Su back to his residence, he looked up at the boundless starry sky, only to feel that the wind and rain were coming, and muttered to himself: "Is there still a glimmer of hope in my heart, soon the natural barrier of this school will no longer exist, and at that time, for the people in the school, the end of the world will really come." ”
Ye Chen, who shook his head and smiled bitterly, was about to go back to find Ye Yun, but when he passed by an infirmary, he felt a sense of consciousness, and when he poked out his senses, he found that it was Li He and the little fat man who were whispering together.
"I didn't expect this Ye Chen to be fine if he was hit by a frozen ray, when I completely inherited that ruin, I must kill him, and that Ye Yun, wait for me!"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
