Chapter Eighty-Five: The Apostle of God I
"I don't like the feeling that we don't know anything and are kept in the dark. We don't know where it is, and we don't know what we're doing here. Long Dailan touched all kinds of strange things in this room and sighed helplessly. "We took the initiative to find it, and it took a lot of trouble to get to such a strange place. And it doesn't seem very safe, the bad-tempered grandma is next door. ”
"Grandma" is the old old woman they just saw, and Nightshadow's residence is next door to Grandma.
"They knew Agaza and they took us in, and it was a temporary place for us to stay. The most important thing for us is not to figure out who they are and where they are, but that you will raise your children safely and smoothly, and then give birth to a lively little life in this world. He tried to keep his composure as much as he could, pretending not to be surprised by what he saw.
"But we're going to stay here that long!" she complained, "and we'll be with these people for months without knowing anything about them." We don't know anything about their names, or why this village is so weird. ”
"What we should know, we will know. It's better not to know, other things have nothing to do with us. Yu Jian figured it out. The more they know, the more trouble they have, and from the moment they entered Plum Blossom Village, they fell into a strange and extremely big trouble. The old man Huang who couldn't be older, the villagers who are scheming to kill them, the isolated whispering forest, the huge ancient trees that don't know their age, the squirrels that are surprisingly big and can speak human words, the anonymous village with strange buildings, the mysterious elders, and the ...... of Mizukoshi No, from the beginning of Niubei Village, trouble has found them. When the most vicious killer in the mortal realm attacked them, Agaza suddenly appeared to rescue them, and then directed them to the Killing Forest, telling them so much "knowledge" that was enough to subvert their cognition.
We are frogs at the bottom of the well, and we know very little about the mortal realm. What we think exists only in the scriptures is actually all around us. The mortal world is so strange, strange and real, it is shocking. It's like all in front of you.
Nightshade's room was strangely furnished, as if some kind of magic was at work. Many things are suspended here, including beds, sofas, tables and chairs, cups on tables, portraits hanging on the walls, etc., and this incredible strange phenomenon fills the whole room, and the hanging things do not fall or shake, they maintain a mysterious silence. And there are a lot of strange gadgets, when it comes to exotic treasures, Dai Lan can be regarded as well-informed, but she actually said that she has never seen any of the gadgets here.
When Shui Yue led them in, Yu Jian was stunned by the scene in this room, but he remained silent. What they should do is to do what they have come, don't ask questions, and don't look for trouble. It's best to remain indifferent, pretend you don't see anything, and don't get affected by anything. The elder had already reminded him, and he had reminded himself again. It's easy to restore the strangeness of this room to normal, just place the things that are floating in the air in a "reasonable" place. For example, the bed is placed where the bed should be, the bedside table is placed next to the bed, the sofa is placed by the window, the tables and chairs are neatly placed, and the portrait is hung back on the hook on the wall. When he did, the room was normal again, and it didn't look weird. Those previous visions were hallucinations.
"That's where Nightshade lives, he's a special person, a little different from us. It's going to take a long time for him to come back, long enough for your baby to be born, so you can live here first, Grandma is next door, she has delivered many children and taken care of many children. You'll need her then. ”
Even if Grandma is what Shui Yue said, Yu Jian doesn't think that Dai Lan really needs her. Dai Lan resisted the incomprehensible of these gods.
"We have another holder behind us. He remembered it, it was important, and he was annoyed that he had forgotten to say it when he faced the elders.
"It's two. Dailan corrected him.
Shui Yue didn't seem surprised, just nodded. "The elders will know. He will know what he should know. ”
After Mizukoshi left, it took them a long time to get acquainted with the house, what kind of person was Nightshadow, where had he gone, but don't ask questions, because they shouldn't know.
"It's actually my children that Gaza wants to send to this village?" said Dailan, who feared her most.
"Maybe. He jumped up and plucked a silver cup from the air and placed it back on the table, an action that made him feel a dull ache in several parts of his body. "If he wants to do anything to us, there's no doubt that there's nothing we can do but let him do whatever he wants. ”
"Why would he do that?"
I would like to know too. "He's helping us. He had helped Great Elder Tie Huan, he had helped the Mortal Realm, he had closed the portal of the Realm and had not participated in the Nomadic Tide, and he did not seem to approve of the Nomadic Tide either. He helped us get here and give your baby a chance to be born safely. "He also brought me down safely from the top of the storm, and he stopped the murder of the Bloodblade. If it weren't for him, we'd all be dead. If he wanted me to die, I would have died.
"Safety, a dangerous person is following us, and we don't know anything about what is going on around us. "She's been uneasy, ever since she entered the village.
A mother's natural agitation. I wish I could give her the strength to settle down. "We've been through so many dangers and we're standing here well. Dailan, my god is watching over us, don't you think so?"
"Not unscathed. You were wounded in Crescent Mountain, and you almost died from the Winter Whistling Flower and the crossbow. I'll admit that we were lucky, but I'm afraid that our luck will be spent. "Yes, I almost died at the hands of the Assassins sent by Bloodblade.
"Actually, if you think about this village, you will understand something. It was behind the Whispering Forest, before the Desolate Fields, and beneath the Dragonhorn Peak. It may be the watch station of the Desolate Wilderness, providing protection for the world to the east. Dada said that there is an agreement between the goddess of the forest and my god. This may be the place of God's grace. "My god favors me and others, the Whispering Forest has a special power, when he is in the Whispering Forest, everything recovers quickly, and after leaving the forest and trekking on the iceberg, it is difficult to resist the weakness of the body after expending too much strength.
"But security is about to be broken, and the door opener is coming here. God is guiding him, too?" and her worries were justified. And he passed Old Man Huang. An evil person like him, I don't believe that Old Man Huang would let him in. ”
"Old Man Huang can't stop the holders. The forest left the opener to the village. The elders may have a way. The pain returned to his abdomen and palms. Even if he is healthy, he can't be the opponent of the person who opened the door, and if the anonymous village can't ...... Thinking of this, he only felt a shudder.
There was a knock on the door, and he opened it, and outside was Shui Yue and Elder.
"My new villagers have the right to know that the village may be in trouble right now. The elder glanced inside the room and frowned, as if he was uncomfortable with the fact that the room was in order, he got straight to the point and went straight to the point, "The forest has shared their information with us, and two more holders are coming. One of them was assessed 'extremely dangerous' by the forest, and he carried something forbidden. ”
"The elders of the Whispering Forest say that there is an agreement that cannot be hindered or harmed. Why is that?" Delan asked.
"They really can't do anything. The danger is imminent, and since you are part of the village, you should not keep it in the dark. The elder's brow condensed, as if he had made a great deal of determination. "This agreement was made between my god and the goddess of the forest, who allowed the goddess of the forest to take control of the whispering forest within his realm, and the goddess of the forest agreed to protect and help anyone who had a permit to cross the forest to get here. This agreement is forged with divine powers, and in order to show the sincerity and determination of the two sides to cooperate, if one party violates the rules, the forest goddess will lose control of the whispering forest, and the entire forest creatures will fall into death due to the loss of control. ”
So that's it...... Yu Jian gasped. Xun Zhou must have known this, so he entered the forest without fear.
The elder looked at Dai Lan's shocked expression and continued, "The alliance of the two gods is because the original barrier of the Desolate Plains has been destroyed, and they have decided to jointly provide protection. We still don't understand what the reason is, in short, now the Desolate Realm is probably becoming the weakest place in the mortal realm, and the creatures of other realms, not only the Boundless Abyss Realm, as long as they have enough strength, it is possible to enter the mortal realm through the desolate realm in the future. ”
"Gaza spoke to us about traveling across the border. He tells us that the realm knowledge imparted by the spirit dragon is...... Not exactly. She used a more appropriate word.
"I know what you're trying to say. That is a protection, not a deception. My God does not want his people to be in unnecessary panic. The elder gazed at her and sighed, "The gods of the earth, the mountains, the forests, the seas, and the sky, all the gods you know define the realm in this way, and they have long agreed on it. Even the existence of our village is completely determined by the will of our gods. We and the Forest Goddess form a double barrier on this side of the Windwind Continent. If there is no evidence, you will not see the village at all, only a forest. ”
"Is it not visible, or is it not felt...... all this is the result of the action of divine power?
The elder looked into Dai Lan's eyes and seemed to read her thoughts: "It's not just that you can't see, you won't feel at all, you won't smell, and you won't be able to touch it. Except for the bearer and the people who stayed with him, no one else felt the village's presence. But we do exist here. ”
So unknown. "It's too mysterious. Dailan exhaled, "The apostle's testimony...... What exactly is an apostle?"
"You're asking too much, kid. The elder lowered his eyes, and Yu Jian suddenly noticed that his appearance had changed: wrinkles gradually appeared on his skin, and wrinkles on his forehead slowly appeared, and then more and more...... After a while, the fifty-year-old monk in front of him turned out to be almost as old as Old Man Huang!
But the elder's voice remained the same: "The apostles are the servants of our God." I am the apostle, and what you see is the secret of the dragon treasure and the method of youth residency that my god taught to the apostles. We began to emerge from the Spirit Dragon Mission, and we were selected from among the mortals to accompany our gods, who had a total of seven apostles, each of whom had a key of a different color, and these seven keys were called apostolic witnesses. We are not immortal, and when our lives are about to run out, we can find a qualified substitute for ourselves, pass on the apostolic certificate to him, and the successor will come to this village and receive the judgment, and the qualified will inherit the apostolic mission, and if the unqualified, the apostolic certificate will be recovered. Regardless of whether they are qualified or not, the holder of the certificate will stay in the village and will never leave unless he is instructed by the gods. ”
