Chapter 31: The Choice
The moonlight is bright and the stars are shining, and when you look up, it seems to be empty and secluded.
Ye Chen sat aside, while Xiao Yue'er guarded him blankly. However, his mood fell to the bottom again, and the old man's words shocked Ye Chen's mind once.
After waiting for so long, it was still a fog, and the answer the old man gave Ye Chen still didn't know. This can't be blamed on the old man, only for his own expectations are too high and too extravagant.
The old man told himself that Buzhou Mountain was the most mysterious symbol of the Kyushu Continent, and the secrets hidden in it were too terrifying for even the emperor to penetrate or touch.
"Even the Great Emperor can't touch it?" Ye Chen was surprised. He didn't stay here for nothing after staying here for so long, and he didn't read so many books in the library for nothing. The Great Emperor, as long as he is in this universe, knows that he is powerful, and above this heaven and earth, he is a god and the only one. The commanding heights of the universe.
Unlike ordinary emperors, ordinary emperors are just ordinary people after all, but they have a lot of followers. And this emperor, he is a god-like existence, and only one person can cover the sky with one hand. The two are not in the same world at all.
If the ordinary emperor is the king of ordinary people, then the emperor is the king of this world, including everything, except for the ethereal immortal.
"That's right, without the mystery of Zhou Mountain, the emperor can't touch it. But you can. The old man got to the point.
"Me?" Ye Chen was surprised.
"That's right, because you are a witch! You come out of the mountains and fall from the mountains, and if you want to say that the only thing in this world that can penetrate the mountains is Wu. The old man said.
After speaking, the old man also glanced at Buzhou Mountain, and his face showed a thick solemnity.
"Prophecy, future, none of that matters, everything will come out when the time comes. Your speculation is useless, and it is time that will carry it out in the end. Time will tell. The old man said.
"Time?" Ye Chen was distracted, as if he had figured out something.
"That's right, Wu's life represents the extraordinary. One day you really get to the point where all the truth can't be hidden. When that day comes, maybe Ishimura will have to rely on you to protect it. The old man looked gloomily at everyone in the village.
"Grandpa Shi, you..."Ye Chen said in surprise.
But before he could finish speaking, he interrupted the old man.
"The old body, I know it myself. But you, have you figured it out?" the old man looked at Ye Chen with a loving face. In the past three months, he has long regarded Ye Chen as his family and child.
"Me!"
Ye Chen was struggling, in the end, he already understood, what the old man said, now he just didn't know what choice to make.
"Child, Ishimura can't trap you, and the outside world is even bigger. How can a small stone village meet the answers you are seeking? If you want to understand the world, how can you understand it without experiencing it yourself?"
"But!"
"Hehe, okay kid, I'll watch you. You can go with confidence, I think your eyes are different. The old man said
"Huh, the eyes are different?" Ye Chen wondered.
"That's right!" The old man looked at Ye Chen's eyes with his deep eyes and said, "I never knew that there was a witch in history who could see through the "general trend" that covered 100,000 stars! And the time of your appearance is not right, it stands to reason that it should be another thousand years before the appearance of the witch, but you have already appeared in advance. The old man said solemnly.
"Perhaps, you will be different! What happened millions of years ago? The supreme secrets of immortals may be manifested in you. ”
“...”
Seeing Ye Chen's sad face, Xiao Yue'er was beside Ye Chen and asked with concern, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"
After speaking, he patted his chest vigorously, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "If you are unhappy, tell Xiao Yue'er, Xiao Yue'er will help you." Grandpa said that if there is something unhappy, just say it, and then you will be happy. ”
Ye Chen wanted to laugh, he really envied Xiao Yue'er, always looking innocent. It's as if there's never been a bad time, and I'm always smiling.
Touching her little head, Ye Chen said with a smile: "Big brother is not unhappy, he just thinks of his big brother's family." Let's go, big brother will take you to sleep. ”
Suddenly, Ye Chen's painting style changed, and he said mysteriously: "I have a gift for you!"
Ye Chen had already figured it out, and what the old man said was right: "Speculation is just useless work, everything has to be experienced by yourself." ”
After seeing Xiao Yue'er's innocent face, he figured it out, he wanted to protect and protect the peace of Shicun. Look up at the night sky... There are many changes in the future, and no one knows what will happen.
"Gifts?"
As soon as Xiao Yue'er heard the word gift, her two big eyes suddenly lit up. I've already tinkered with Ye Chen, and I can't wait at all.
"Huh!"
Ye Chen smiled and picked her up. Xiao Yue'er still wanted to continue tinkering, but Ye Chen immediately pointed to Xiao Yue'er's nose and said, "Wait for the big brother to take you into the house, I will give it to you, and you are not allowed to move blindly." Otherwise, the big brother won't give it to Xiao Yue'er. Ye Chen's expression was a little serious, and after Xiao Yue'er heard this, she immediately withdrew her little hand and nodded in agreement, for fear that Ye Chen would really not give it to her.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen saw that Xiao Yue'er withdrew her little hand, and immediately laughed, and trotted all the way to the front of the house with Xiao Yue'er.
When I opened the door, the slightly old wooden door creaked.
"Ye Chen!"
"Huh?" Just as Ye Chen entered the house, a shout came from behind. Ye Chen turned his head suspiciously, and Quartz, who had a beautiful face, stood behind Ye Chen.
"Come with me!" Quartz said.
"What's the matter?" Ye Chen asked. It's also very strange in my heart, what is the quartz looking for him this big night?
"Just follow me!" Quartz replied.
Then, she pointed to Xiao Yue'er and said, "Leave her behind, you come alone." ”
After speaking, before Ye Chen had a chance to speak, Quartz turned his head and walked away.
Yes, Ye Chen is helpless, but this is also her style, who called this aura too powerful, and it is innate.
In his thoughts, Ye Chen put Xiao Yue'er on the ground and said to Xiao Yue'er: "Xiao Yue'er will go to the house first and wait for the big brother, and the big brother will give you a gift later." ”
"Big brother!" Xiao Yue'er pouted, pitifully pulled the corner of Ye Chen's clothes and said, "Big brother, I want to go too." ”
"This?" Ye Chen was in trouble for a while, not that he didn't want to take Xiao Yue'er there, but that Quartz and Xiao Yue'er didn't deal with each other, which everyone in the village knew. Ye Chen also asked the reason, but the old man only told him, "It's all bad fate!"
"Bad fate?" Ye Chen at that time was seriously puzzled. What kind of point has it reached can be said to be a bad fate.
looked at Quartz, looking at Xiao Yue'er with a face full of grievances, Ye Chen weighed it again and again, and still left Xiao Yue'er in the house. He was afraid that he would bring Xiao Yue'er with him, would he start a war with Quartz at that time?
