Chapter 121: Protecting the Lake of the 'Land'
Wang Qizheng touched his chest in amazement.
The years freeze, it sounds like eternal youth, but there are wounds on the body that can be actively healed, so it is not just the concept of eternal youth.
Zhang Feixuan looked at the friction scars on Wang Qizheng's face, which were a small scratches that were accidentally rubbed on the ground when he was swept away by his senior brother Huang Feng before.
With the physical fitness of the third child, in fact, it should have been healing a long time ago, before he drank water, he had been healing, but after drinking water, the abrasions on his face obviously still existed, and there was no sign of further healing at all.
"Have I been waiting for a halt?" Zhang Feixuan muttered to himself.
"That's right."
Song Yin said: "Your time is frozen in the moment of drinking water, and what kind of state you are at that moment will always be retained."
He paused and continued: "It's strange that here, the body we are waiting for still has feelings, whether it is pain or hunger, it is clear that time has stopped, but we still have to rely on the water here to survive." ”
"Senior brother, did you drink it too?" Wang Qizheng couldn't help asking.
Song Yin nodded and said: "I drank it the moment I entered the water, and after entering the water, the water seemed to blend with me, but who am I, all laws are inviolable, all evils are easy to dispel, and the water in the lake can't harm me." ”
Yes, the elder brother personally certified that the water in the lake can really melt people.
Thankfully, it was stopped at the time.
Merely.
"Can the years freeze here? Wouldn't I not die? Zhang Feixuan thought of something, his eyes widened, with a little excitement.
When Wang Qizheng and Gao Sishu heard this, their pupils shrank.
If time had stood still in this moment, then he would not have to die.
This is not simply the immortality of the body, but the freezing of time, then this dangerous world is safe for them.
Even if the price is to stay here all the time, and not be able to stay away, it is not unacceptable.
"My generation is cultivating, and I am not content with one place, this thought is unacceptable."
Song Yin glanced at them strangely, and said: "The years are solidified, which means that you can't grow, no matter how you refine your qi, you can't make an inch." Living only on water cannot be far from this realm, like the bird in a cage, there is no freedom. And"
Song Yin looked forward: "After a long time, there will obviously be problems, the water in the lake is not such a simple thing"
Following his gaze, several people looked ahead, and saw the child who had spoken to them before, walking out of the village and heading towards the lake.
The child was not as lively as before, and walked staggeringly, and his eyes were visibly lost.
Behind him, all the people of the village gathered and looked at the children from afar.
It seems to be sending it away.
Song Yin's eyes flashed with divine light, and he said, "That water is not without a price."
He flashed and appeared in front of the boy and grabbed his hand.
The child's hand was caught, but he didn't seem to notice it, and continued to take two steps in the direction of the lake, until his hand was completely pulled, and then stopped, but still didn't look at Song Yin, just stared at the lake blankly.
Song Yin looked at the group of people and said, "He's up to time, right?" ”
An old man in the village stepped forward, he was on a broken cane, one leg was broken, and the white cloth was wrapped in it, but blood red was constantly dyeing out of the white cloth.
"Lao Yu is the head of this village, I don't know who you are?"
"I am Song Yin of the Golden Immortal Sect, and this time I came to find medicinal materials, and I came to find my fellow junior sister, and by the way, I will clear this harmful lake."
Song Yin looked directly at them and said, "I'm sorry, old man, my junior sister is a qi refiner, so I can keep her from dying, but I can't guarantee that you will live." ”
What do you mean?
The three people in the rear looked suspicious.
"Doctor Bell, is this your junior sister? Although the people in the village think she is crazy, I know that she is a good person, and it is a good thing to be able to protect one, after all, this matter has nothing to do with her. ”
The village chief lowered his head and smiled bitterly, looking at the child that Song Yin was holding: "The parents of this doll were also summoned half a year ago and went to the lake, I thought we should be before him, but he ended up before me waited." ”
In the crowd, several women hid their faces and wept, and others could not hide their sadness.
Song Yin just looked at them and didn't say a word.
The village chief sighed: "It was our sins that led to the current situation, and it is right to pay the price."
"A few years ago, a merchant came here and brought seeds that were said to grow four times a year, and the people of the village planted them, and there was indeed a good harvest in those years, but three years ago, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, the land became what it is now, and nothing could be planted, not even a drop of rain."
"We wanted to go, but no matter how we went, we would eventually come back, and we wouldn't be able to get out of this place. And that's not all."
The village chief pointed to his leg, "The old man's leg was bitten off by a wild beast three years ago, but after that night, until now, the old man's leg has not healed, just like three years ago, he is constantly dripping blood, suffering every day, sometimes the old man doesn't want to live, but the old man just can't die." Whether it's hanging, suicide, or even having someone cut off the head of the old man, the old man is still alive."
"Later, I don't want to die, there are still so many people in the village, and I, as the village head, can't just leave it alone."
"The place is dry, we can't actually starve to death, but there is also a sense of hunger, and later we found out that as long as we drink the lake water, we can be full, so when we are hungry, just drink water, I thought it would be good, I can live anyway."
"But the water can't do anything but drink, can't soak into the earth, can't be washed daily, my daughter once couldn't stand it, ran to the lake, never came out again"
"Later, I also stayed away from the lake, except for daily needs, I tried not to get close to the lake, but it was useless, I don't know when, as soon as the time came, someone would automatically go to the lake, enter the lake, and dissipate in it."
The village chief said, with a sad look on his face, looked at the lake, and sighed, "Lake god, what are you going to do?" Is this a punishment for us? ”
Seed?
Zhang Feixuan and Wang Qizheng's faces were not quite right.
The seeds that grow four times a year, they seem to have heard of them somewhere.
"Senior brother." Zhang Feixuan looked at Song Yin.
Song Yin waved his hand, stopped Zhang Feixuan's words, and said to the village chief: "I see, I understand"
"That kind of seed is itself an evil seed, so as to seize the vitality of the earth, if according to normal terms, your land will fall into desolation, so that you will either starve to death, or leave your homeland, but there is something different."
Song Yin asked, "This lake has existed for a long time, right?" ”
"For as long as I can remember, my grandfather said that this lake has existed here for thousands of years, and it is the lake that we depend on for our livelihood, and every year, we hold a lake festival. In the past, there was a water demon yaksha in the lake, but it didn't hurt anyone, and we didn't provoke it, and everyone was fine. ”
As he spoke, he smiled bitterly again: "The old man also thinks it's a seed problem, after all, before planting seeds, there was nothing around here, but as soon as the seeds were planted, something happened." ”
"Millennium."
Song Yin looked at the lake and said slowly: "Sure enough, I was not mistaken, this lake has been a living being, and after a thousand years, you and others rely on the lake to live, and the lake has also turned into the spirit of the land because of you and other creatures." But when that seed is planted, it is competing with the lake for vitality."
"It's not punishing you, it's just protecting you, protecting the land."
