Chapter 58: The Statue of a Hero
Qingxi Village, a small village on the border of Chenhui Country, one of the four major countries of the Shenchuang Continent. Because of its proximity to the ring forest, most of the people in the village make a living from hunting.
In Qingxi Village, there is a rule left by the ancestors: don't fight the idea of a black fox living in the depths of the forest.
Although the strength of black foxes is not strong among foreign beasts, they are cunning and vindictive, but whenever they find that their own kind is mutilated, the entire race will launch a crazy revenge against the murderer to death.
But because of this, all the materials about the black fox are in a situation where there is no market in the market.
As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. Under the temptation of high returns, there will always be a few people who don't want to die.
And Lin Xing is one of them.
Ten years ago, Lin Xing was just a poor little hunter, and one day he went out hunting, and he was extremely lucky to find a young black fox on the outskirts of the jungle.
Thinking that being on the periphery is a child, as long as you succeed once, you won't be discovered immediately, and then find a place to hide for a while, and you can escape unharmed.
The wishful thinking in his heart clanged, but what Lin Xing never expected was that the young black fox he hunted was actually the heir of the Black Fox King!
As the bow and arrow pierced the body of the young black fox, an earth-shattering roar rang out from the depths of the jungle. The Black Fox King, who has high-level spiritual intelligence, sensed the loss of his child's life at the first time.
Listening to the breathtaking roar, Lin Xing knew that something was wrong, and in order to survive, he immediately made an extremely selfish decision: flee to Qingxi Village and use the villagers as his shield!
As the only two cultivators in the village at that time, Makino's father and mother stood at the entrance of the village regardless of the danger, resisting wave after wave of attacks by the black foxes.
However, in the face of thousands of black foxes, no matter how strong the two are, they are stretched. Over time, they gradually weakened and weakened.
In order to protect the village and the six-year-old child, Makino's father and mother had to use the last hole card: exhaust all spiritual power and use secret magic to create a dimensional crack at the entrance of the village.
Violent suction surged out of the crack, sucking the entire black fox population into it in the blink of an eye. However, unfortunately, Makino's father and mother were also sucked in together because their spiritual power was exhausted and they couldn't resist the suction of the dimensional rift.
The dimensional rift slowly closed, and everything was calmed down. Afterwards, the villagers began to pursue the cause and learned that everything was caused by the forest punishment. But by the time they found out, the culprit had already fled.
......
"Ming'er, why do you suddenly want to come here?" At the strong request of his grandson, Liwang had no choice but to come to the statue of the hero as soon as he entered the village.
In order to commemorate Makino's parents, the villagers dug up a giant Lingyun stone found by their ancestors and carved it into the shape of Makino's father and mother, and named it the Statue of Heroes.
"It's nothing, it's just that I miss them a little. Looking up at the statue of the hero, Makino's face was very solemn.
Ten years ago, the culprit Lin Xing became the only beneficiary, and he became rich overnight after selling the black fox.
Relying on the huge amount of money in his hand, Lin Xing's strength has grown tremendously in just five years, from the original small hunter to a strong man with the strength of the second stage of the Star Realm.
Not only that, Lin Xing also recruited many subordinates to form Lin Jiatang, which became a force to be reckoned with in the town.
"Grandpa, are my parents still alive?" asked Makino as he looked at the heroic statue.
Slightly stunned again, Liwang rubbed his grandson's head and said, "Don't worry, they are all alive." ”
He took out a string of beads from his collar, pointed to the two shiny stones on it, and said, "Look, these are your father's life stones, as long as they are still bright, it means that everything is fine." ”
"Then why don't you save them?" asked Makino very eagerly.
"Alas, it's useless to blame grandpa. He sighed lightly, looked away at the sky and said, "In this world, only the powerhouses of the Sun Radiance Realm have the ability to open the passage of another dimension and enter and exit safely. But grandpa, I only have the strength of the first stage of the Star Realm......"
Sunshine Realm?
Listening to his grandfather's words, Makino remembered that it was the setting he had written before his death. At the beginning, he divided the strength of the cultivators in the novel into three levels: the Star Realm, the Moon Blossom Realm, and the Sun Radiance Realm.
Each realm is subdivided into three sections.
Each segment is subdivided into nine levels.
Looking at the image of the hero in front of him, Makino recalled the picture of his parents being by his side all the time when he was seriously ill. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Grandpa, let's go home." ”
After saying that, Makino turned around and walked towards the carriage on the side, but when he got into the carriage, he realized that his grandfather had not followed.
Looking back in surprise, Makino saw that his grandfather was standing motionless next to the statue of the hero, looking at him in a daze.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Tears slowly flowed from his eyes, and he walked tremblingly in front of his grandson, raising his hand to caress the other party's face, and his every move was extremely cautious. "Ming'er...... Is it really you? Are you really alive?"
Liwang, who is over half a hundred years old, can't even speak at the moment. In fact, from the very beginning, he thought that everything in front of him was a dream, so he never thought about it and didn't dare to think about it. He was deeply afraid that he would accidentally puncture this dream, and it was not until the matter developed so far that he dared to have such a trace of illusion in his heart.
"Grandpa, it's really me. ”
Raising his hand to wipe the tears from the old man's face, Makino hugged his grandfather tightly.
......
When he returned home, Liwang began to check his grandson's physical condition, but after a careful examination, he was surprised to find that his grandson was not the slightest stranger except for some weakness. Even the skin injuries on his body have disappeared, which makes him puzzled.
"Grandpa, is there any problem?" Seeing Grandpa's brows furrowed, Makino who was lying on the bed asked.
"Nothing. Liwang smiled and shook his head, hiding this in his heart beforehand. Anyway, as long as the grandson is alive, then everything will be fine.
"You're very weak now, so get some sleep. After covering the quilt for his grandson, Liwang suddenly remembered something. "Ming'er, do you remember who was ruthless to you?"
"Yes......" Of course, Makino knew who had killed him, but after thinking about it for a while, he swallowed his words anyway. "I don't remember. ”
"Then let's go to sleep. After a few pats on his grandson's body, he slowly exited the room.
After Grandpa left, Makino opened his eyes and sat down at his desk. Then he lit a candle and slowly stretched out his hand.
As the fingers got closer and closer to the candle flame, a burning sensation emanated from the fingers.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds.
Hiss!
It took five seconds for Makino to retract his hand. At this moment, he looked at the blisters on his fingertips, and his brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.
"Could it be that I'm really born again?"
With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Makino still can't fully accept the bizarre incident that happened to him. However, at this moment, his eyes inadvertently saw the image of the hero standing in the distance outside the window.
Looking at the incomparably familiar appearance on the statue, Makino's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fists couldn't help but clench. Immediately, he took the two books out of his bosom and began to read them carefully.
No matter whether everything that happened to him at this moment was true or not, Makino didn't want that heroic statue to fall into the hands of others, because it represented his parents!
Just now, Makino was worried that his grandfather would find the existence of two books when he checked his body, but now it seems that only he can see this thing. If he's not mistaken, this should be his prerogative as the creator of the world of fiction.
First opened the "Outline", Makino saw a sentence written on the title page at a glance: Only a strong spiritual power can make it influence everything that has not happened in this world.
"Leaving the future?" muttered as Makino flipped through the pages.
After the title page, the "Outline" records some of the key events that took place after Makino came into this world. However, when he saw the end of the existing content, a sentence suddenly struck his eye.
On the afternoon of the day after the resurrection, the protagonist travels to the grove south of the village and encounters an opportunity. ”
Is this Outline a foreshadowing of the future?
