[889] Blind
In the face of the elder's praise, Cheng Han just bowed his head politely: "It's over." ”
"Crackle!"
There was another explosion in the fireplace.
The red firelight was projected onto Cheng Han's face.
In the two withered eye sockets, red light was reflected, as if two fires were burning.
Such a sight.
It's a bit of a madness.
The elder and the two attendants, witnessing this scene at this time, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Cheng Han smiled slightly: "Everyone, please take a seat!" ”
The elder walked over to the fireplace and sat down lightly on a chair.
Two strong men stood obediently behind.
Originally, they came to meet the outward blind man with a condescending mentality.
But between the other party's words, he firmly controlled the initiative.
The elder habitually crossed his cane on his lap and said in a deep voice, "Extroverted wise man, I have heard that you foresee a great drought coming. ”
Cheng Han nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
With his face turned in the direction of the river, he said in a divine tone: "I have heard the whispers of the river, and it will dry up completely in five months." ”
The two strong men were skeptical.
For as long as they can remember, the river outside the village has never dried up, let alone dried, and there has never been a time when the water is not abundant.
Generations back in the world have never seen a time when a river dries up.
This blind man kept saying "five months", which really made them unbelievable.
The old man did not show any different color, but said softly: "The ancestral spirit did give a revelation and foreshadowed the drought, but it did not say that the drought was so bad. ”
The implication of these words is that the ancestral spirit is different from you, you are wrong!
Cheng Han said to himself: "I went to another village not long ago, and their 'moss honey' production has been greatly reduced by 40%. ”
The so-called "moss honey" is the resin secreted by a shrub in this world, the moss honey tree.
This stuff has a high sugar content and a fairly pronounced sweetness, making it very popular.
The elder's face changed slightly, and his hands clenched his cane hard, but his old face did not change at all.
He was well-informed, and naturally knew that the moss tree was a rather amazing plant.
When a crisis is about to occur, the moss tree will induce, and some of the moss will be absorbed, resulting in a decrease in the production of the moss.
Generally speaking, this kind of yield fluctuation is not too large, and the yield of moss honey is reduced by up to two percent.
Up to 40% of the amplitude, it is indeed very rare.
The elder pondered for a moment and replied quietly, "Maybe it's a rare disease. ”
Cheng Han added: "I have also been to another village, where the villagers have often had nightmares at night in recent times. ”
His tone changed: "The content of the dreams is almost the same, they are walking on the dry ground, the ground is barren, and cracks are cracked. ”
The elder's hand gripping the wooden staff became even harder.
The faces of the two strong men were also not good-looking.
Cheng Han sighed: "I have been to many villages, and the ancestral spirits there have sent out all kinds of warnings, without exception.
"This large-scale anomaly has never happened before, and I am afraid that this disaster will be beyond our imagination."
His tone was full of compassion: "Perhaps in the near future, countless people will die." ”
The two strong men were moved.
In their minds, they naturally sketch an image of "this blind man finds that disaster is coming, and runs around trying to solve the problem".
Although Cheng Han didn't say so, the strong man was affected by the inducing language and couldn't help but have this thought.
The elder lowered his eyelids, and for the first time an old face showed a different color.
Cheng Han didn't speak again.
The inside of the cabin suddenly became quiet.
Only in the fireplace, there was a constant sound of crackling wood.
More than a dozen seconds passed.
The elder straightened his back and asked solemnly, "What is your name?" ”
Cheng Han moved his lips and spit out a word: "Call me 'blind'." ”
The elder hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Mr. Blind, you seem to have traveled a lot?" ”
That's a tactful question.
What the elders are really asking is why you're running around.
Cheng Han immediately sensed a feeling of "being watched", and it was even stronger than yesterday.
He knew that it was the power of the elders to summon the ancestral spirits to descend.
He also knew that the Ancestral Spirit possessed a very peculiar ability to discern lies.
It is worth mentioning that this ability even has some connection with the laws of the world.
To put it more clearly, unless you master the power of the law, there is no way to hide it from the ancestral spirit.
But Cheng Han can.
He had mastered more than one kind of law string, and his power level was higher than that of the ancestral spirit, even if the ancestral spirit lied in front of him, he would not let the elder notice the abnormality.
At this moment.
Cheng Han raised his face slightly, put on a posture of "reminiscing about the past", and his tone became low: "I once had a very bizarre dream. ”
The word "dream" has just been spoken.
The flames in the fireplace burst into flames.
The elder was stunned for a moment.
The two strong men looked at each other again, both with surprised expressions.
A person on the left muttered in a low voice, "Ancestral Spirit Protector." ”
The so-called "protector of the ancestral spirit" is a person who can borrow the power of the ancestral spirit.
In any village, the Ancestral Spirit Protector is a rare person, and it is also an absolute superior.
Cheng Han continued: "In the dream world, I dreamed of a vast and boundless world, and its name is 'Celestial Star Sea'. ”
With the sound of his voice.
A little red light flew out of the fireplace, transforming into an image.
The content of it is the scene of the sea of gods and stars.
"There are many very powerful beings in the Sea of Celestial Stars, and they are called Celestials, and the most powerful of them are called Eternal Celestials.
"Every god of the ages has the terrifying power to destroy a world......"
The elder remained silent.
The two strong men looked skeptical.
Destroy a world?
It's too fake!
No wonder they don't believe it, after all, this is just a village in a remote and small world, and the ancient gods are really beyond the limits of their imagination.
Cheng Han didn't explain much, but just said: "One day, the Celestial Star Sea suddenly encountered a terrible disaster. ”
The image of the flames has changed.
A series of real events, including "the gods and stars were swallowed" and "the gods and stars disintegrated into countless fragments" quickly unfolded.
The more the two strong men looked, the more suspicious they became.
There was even a hint of mockery in the eyes of one of them, taking it as a compiled story.
The elder's face remained unchanged, but he listened intently.
Cheng Han paused and got to the point: "Just half a year ago, a stone fell from the sky and happened to fall near where I lived. ”
The elder exhaled and interjected just the right sentence: "Mr. Blind, could it be a stone from the Celestial Star Sea?" ”
Cheng Han smiled slightly: "Maybe." ”
He waved his right hand lightly, and a black stone appeared out of thin air on the surface of the simple wooden table next to him.
Cheng Han gestured and said with a smile: "You can touch it." ”
The elder sat still.
The strong man, who had just shown a hint of mockery, walked over quickly, and cautiously stretched out a hand and touched the stone.
This moment.
In the brains of this thing, a thunderclap suddenly sounded.
"Boom!"
The next moment.
The strong man's pair of eyes were about to fall off, and he exclaimed directly in his mouth: "The ancestral spirit is above!" ”
