Chapter 292: Searching for the Hermit (6)
"An opportunity to change the fate of the Terrans?"
A big question mark appeared on the faces of the two old men, Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi, at the same time, they felt that they could clearly understand every word of Zhang Heng's words, but after connecting the contexts, the information of the whole paragraph became inconsistent.
How could a plague that could turn all humans into monsters become an opportunity to change the fate of the extermination?
Could it be that humans should survive in the form of blood-drinking and flesh-eating monsters? That's not as dignified as extermination.
"But once the plague spreads, then humanity has become bloodthirsty monsters, so what can be changed?"
The old man in black was an anxious man, and he didn't hide any doubts in his heart, and asked directly in a big voice like a lion.
"That's right, if the plague spreads and there is no cure, it will inevitably lead to the extinction of the human race...... Unless ......"
Compared with the straight envy and foolishness, Li Baiyi's thinking is obviously deeper.
He had already touched the answer from the information given by Zhang Heng, but it was only a vague outline.
Just as Li Baiyi was about to ask, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on the face of the young man opposite and shook his head.
"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak."
Seeing Zhang Heng's performance, Li Baiyi immediately understood, and after exchanging a look with Xian Yuqi, he put his goal on another focus.
"Since we can't say it, then the two of us just ask, but Xiaoyou said that the danger of extinction of this human race does not come from the plague, so where does it come from?"
"Outside the sky."
The young man's face returned to calm, and he answered Li Baiyi's question simply in two words.
"Outside the sky? Could it be a natural disaster such as a meteorite fall? ”
Hearing the doubts in Li Baiyi's mouth, Zhang Heng was slightly stunned.
Dare to love these two old monsters really keep up with the times, although they have lived in the mountains for more than 80 years, but the relevant knowledge is very thorough.
I just guessed wrong.
Although he really wanted to tell the truth behind the two old men, Zhang Heng knew that now was not the time, and reckless breaking would only expand the scope of the butterfly effect and increase the risk of human extinction.
"I also ask the two seniors to forgive the rudeness of the juniors, this matter is very important, and I can't reveal half a point to the two of you......"
Zhang Heng got up and hugged his fists towards the two old men.
I thought that as soon as these words came out, the anxious old ghost Envy Yuqi was about to break out again, but unexpectedly, he just glanced at Li Baiyi faintly and was silent.
However, Li Baiyi pondered for a moment after listening to Zhang Heng's words, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Independent and not changing, Zhou Xing is not dead, since Xiaoyou has something difficult to say, then listen to Xiaoyou, don't say it."
Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi are also people who have lived for more than 160 years, and they all say that people are old and become fine, and the two of them are the human spirits who live out of the picture.
Although Zhang Heng said that this could not be revealed, and that could not be revealed, but when he came up to the mountain to find them, there must be some news that they needed to know.
Otherwise, he was a visitor from another world, and what he spent so much effort on, could it be that he was talking to two nearly two-hundred-year-old people?
Thinking of this, Li Baiyi simply let go of the impatience in his heart and waited patiently for Zhang Heng's next words.
Sure enough, after seeing that Li Baiyi didn't mean to blame himself, Zhang Heng also breathed a long sigh of relief, arched his hand again, and spoke.
"The purpose of the juniors coming here is not only to inform the two seniors that a major change is about to happen in this world, but also to bring another piece of news."
"Humph! What else? ”
Envy Yuqi, who has been with Li Baiyi for half his life, naturally knows what he thinks in his junior brother's heart, but he is still a little unhappy with Zhang Heng's previous behavior of playing dumb riddles.
There was a slight unkindness in the tone of his voice.
"The major event that can alarm the two of them, in addition to the survival of the human race, I think it is also the inheritance of the vertical and horizontal lineage."
Zhang Heng blinked
blinked his peach blossom eyes and carefully observed the expressions on the faces of the two old men.
Li Baiyi was fine, but he was only slightly stunned after hearing what Zhang Heng said.
But Envy Yuqi's reaction was much greater, a pair of tiger eyes were wide open, and his face was full of surprise.
"A heritage that runs through the line? Tell me carefully, if there is half a lie, the old man will be the first to cut you with a knife! ”
Driven by the distortion of their faces, the two mustaches were raised to the sides, making the already fierce face more and more full of evil energy.
"Hehe, presumably the two seniors must be looking for a suitable candidate, and want to pass on the vertical and horizontal skills of the ancestor Guiguzi, right?"
Zhang Heng did not directly answer Xian Yuqi's question, but asked rhetorically again.
"Yes and what!"
At this time, Xian Yuqi had already stood up from the chair, and his body involuntarily leaned towards Zhang Heng.
Before his death, their master had a will, telling the next generation of their descendants to come to the door by themselves and not to go into the world to look for them.
And also pointed out the boundary of N City.
Because this information was obtained by the master for the last time before he died, the two of them always regarded it as the truth.
After the death of the master, the two have been living in seclusion, waiting for the next generation of descendants to come to the door.
But that wait is eighty years.
Although he and Li Baiyi have both reached the realm of half-step heavenly beings, their lifespans are far more than the hundred-year limit of ordinary people.
But a half-step celestial is not a celestial after all, and even if the life span is extended, there will still be a day when it will age.
During this period of seclusion, he didn't think about going down the mountain with Li Baiyi to find the next generation of heirs.
After all, the two of them are old, and if they don't find a suitable successor, it is very likely that they will be cut off and disappear from this world forever;
But at the same time, the two of them believed in their master's will, thinking that it was impossible for their master to pit his apprentice before he died.
So the matter of going down the mountain to find the next generation of heirs was put on hold indefinitely.
Until now, Zhang Heng has gone up the mountain to visit!
In fact, from the very beginning, Xian Yuqi felt that Zhang Heng was very likely to be the next generation of heirs that he and Li Baiyi were waiting for, but because the other party mentioned the issue of the survival of the human race, the matter of inheritance was temporarily put aside.
Now that the big thing has come to an end, Zhang Heng took the initiative to mention the matter of vertical and horizontal inheritance, how can he make Xian Yuqi and Li Baiyi not feel excited.
"Could it be that you are the next generation of the master's vertical and horizontal technique? From the point of view of taking the initiative to come to the door, it is really in line with ......"
Li Baiyi didn't lose his temper like Envy Yuqi, but the brilliance in his eyes still couldn't be hidden.
It stands to reason that there must be two descendants of the vertical and horizontal lineage, one who accepts the inheritance of [vertical] and the other who accepts the inheritance of [horizontal].
The two inheritors must comprehend the artistic conception of vertical and horizontal in the constant fight against each other, just like him and the envy of the foolish seven.
Although there is only one one now, something is better than nothing!
Looking at the anticipation on Li Baiyi and Xianyuqi's faces, Zhang Heng secretly felt bitter in his heart.
He also wants to accept the inheritance of the two old monsters, you must know that it is a vertical and horizontal technique, a technique that can deduce the operation of all things in the world.
Even if you can't accept the other party's core inheritance, it's good to accept some martial arts fur.
But it's a pity that his identity is the Elder.
There's no way to get anything out of the timeline summary in front of you that benefits you.
Besides, if the inheritance of Zongheng is taken by him, what will the real Zongheng inheritor take?
The butterfly effect would be too drastic to be worth the risk.
So after a moment of silence, Zhang Heng still cleared his throat and said with a straight face.
"Don't get me wrong, two seniors, I'm not the next generation of the same generation you are waiting for."
As soon as these words came out, a look of disappointment appeared on the faces of Envy Yuqi and Li Baiyi.
However, Zhang Heng did not stop talking, but continued to speak.
"Although I am not the next generation of the vertical and horizontal lineage, I can provide a name for the two predecessors, the next generation of the vertical and horizontal lineage, and he has a close relationship."
"A name? Say it quickly. ”
The hope that had just been extinguished was rekindled, and the eyes of the two old men, who were almost four hundred years old, couldn't wait to urge.
"Lu Yu, the road of the land, the feather of the feather, find him, and stay by his side to protect him, and the next generation of descendants will naturally appear."
It's just a fluttering phrase that doesn't have any special meaning and doesn't come with anything else.
But at the same time as Zhang Heng said this, his mechanical left arm suddenly burst into blue light, and the hum of the rotor was like the roar of an engine, like an overloaded household appliance, whimpering under the huge flow of energy.
"Uhh......h
Zhang Heng's face became ugly at this moment, and his already pale skin became more and more bloodless, as if his vitality was frantically draining in his body.
Small kiosk
"What's wrong with you, little friend? Why did Qi fluctuate so violently, could it be that he had suffered some serious internal injuries? ”
Li Baiyi noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Heng for the first time, and hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, that's to be expected."
Although his body trembled violently, Zhang Heng still insisted on waving his hand, and showed a 'I'm fine' smile to the old man in white in front of him.
"Xiaoyou, if you are injured, you must say it, although our two old men have no ability, but in front of you, they still have some ability."
There was a rare trace of worry on the fierce face of Envy Yuqi, although he didn't fully trust Zhang Heng, but if the other party really needed help, and within his ability, the old man in black would still be obligated to help.
"It's not an injury, it's a 'relationship of the degree of influence', don't talk about this, can the two seniors remember what I just said? If you want to complete the inheritance, you have to find that person. ”
The uncontrollable trembling gradually subsided, and a large number of beads of sweat oozed from Zhang Heng's face.
These sweats are not transparent, but take on a cloudy albumen color.
"Lu Yu, right, we wrote it down, but there is a vast sea of people, where are we going to look for it? Are there any recognizable features? ”
After writing down the name, Li Baiyi asked suspiciously.
Although the name Lu Yu doesn't sound very popular, there are a lot of people with the same name and surname, and Zhang Heng didn't tell the two of them about the other party's appearance and salient features.
"There was a nine-year-old girl next to that person."
Zhang Heng's eyes were lowered, as if he was very tired.
And when he answered, Lu Yu's name was not mentioned again, but 'that person' was used instead.
"It's still a nine-year-old girl, okay, we get it."
Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi glanced at each other and nodded.
"Okay, since I have already informed the two seniors of what I want to say, then Zhang Heng will not bother anymore."
Zhang Heng arched his hand, supported the bluestone table with his right arm, and struggled to get up from the stool.
Looking at this appearance, the change in his body just now had such a huge impact on this young man that he was unable to move normally for a short time.
"Little friend, you really don't have any problems, right?"
Li Baiyi saw Zhang Heng's trembling appearance, and said worriedly.
"It's okay, oh yes, there's one more thing."
Zhang Heng barely stood up, his right palm supporting his mechanical left arm, as if he was observing something in it.
"The poison in this clear water that can cause the plague, although it is not a threat to Li Baiyi's predecessors for the time being, but it will still have an impact over time, so we have to hurry up and find an antidote before the plague attacks."
Pointing to the water cup on the bluestone table, Zhang Heng said lightly......
