Chapter 15: The Eye of Heaven
In the crowd, Mo Ran behind Zhou Yi looked at Qin Yuan in a daze, and the tight strings in his heart suddenly loosened. For Qin Yuan, his heart was full of remorse, last time his recklessness, Qin Yuan and Yi Ruxiao, who were almost harmed, lost their lives. After that time, Zhou Yi even wanted to expel him from the division. This time, seeing Qin Yuan falling into the water, he was the first to rush into the water, and in his heart, guilt was like a rooted seed taking root and sprouting.
"Senior Brother Qin!" Yi Ruxiao arrived the second and looked at Qin Yuan in front of him with tears in his eyes.
"Senior sister! I'm fine! Seeing this, Qin Yuan hurriedly comforted, Yi Ruxiao's appearance really made him reluctant.
Yi Ruxiao smiled slightly, her eyes blurred and fell. "Senior sister!" Qin Yuan grabbed her, but saw that Yi Ruxiao was unconscious. Immediately everyone gathered around. Yi Yuntian also staggered in front of Yi Ruxiao, clasping her arm. After a long time, he said slowly: "This child is just overtired and too worried, and he fainted due to lack of physical strength for a while. Qu Yi, send my sister back! As he spoke, he looked at the white-robed young man beside him who had been supporting him.
The young man was stunned, his face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Master, Yunxiao Peak has been destroyed. ”
"Ahh Everyone was shocked, and their eyes were cast on Qu Yi.
Qu Yi's face was embarrassed, and he said slowly: "Master, Senior Sister Ruxiao is just trying to extinguish the flames of Yunxiao Peak, and the True Yuan has consumed too much, which is why she is so tired. It's just that although the fire has been extinguished, Yunxiao Peak has become a ruin! ”
"Send Ruxiao to Yunqingfeng, this place is also the closest to Yunqingfeng!" Shi Butong said on the side, and said to Ke Dayong and Dou Ming stubbornly.
"Well, that's fine!" Yi Yuntian sighed, "Good life to take care of her!" ”
"Yes, Master!" Ke Dayong and Dou Ming said in harmony, and as soon as they made a move, they and Qu Yi flew towards Yun Qingfeng with Yi Ruxiao.
After the figures of the four of them were no longer visible, Yi Yuntian retracted his gaze and said slowly to Qin Yuan, "How are you injured?" ”
"Uncle Shi, the disciple is really fine! It's just ......" Qin Yuan wanted to speak, how much he wanted to tell everyone about what happened at the bottom of the lake just now, but the instructions of the Great God Chiyou sounded in his ears again.
"Presumably, the great god of Chiyou doesn't want the world to be hurt again!" Qin Yuan pondered silently.
"Just what?" Yi Yuntian asked, his tone soothing but with an eager gaze.
"It's just that the 'Farewell Spirit' is missing!" Qin Yuan excused himself and didn't look at Yi Yuntian's eyes.
"Lost!" Everyone palpitated, originally thinking that Qin Yuan would be in the same place as the 'Farewell Spirit', but they never thought that it would be such a result.
Yi Yuntian slowly glanced at everyone and said, "I am expected to be trusted, but I have lost the relics left to us by the great god Chiyou!" "I was very annoyed and embarrassed.
"Senior brother!" Mo Qingyuan, who had been at odds with Yi Yuntian, said in a harmonious voice, "Don't blame yourself, I can't blame you at this time." ”
"Yes, junior brother, don't be upset!" Yun Ruofan also comforted.
"No, if I had been prepared for the New Moon, I wouldn't have come to such a situation, it's all my fault!" Yi Yuntian still sighed.
"Senior brother! No one would have imagined that New Moon would be so arrogant. You don't have to blame yourself, but it's imperative to look around and see if you can find the 'Soul of Farewell'! Mo Qingyuan said calmly.
After that, he instructed his disciples to enter the water again to look for him. For a while, everyone rushed into the water one after another, until the sky was cloudy, and the bottom of the lake in the entire area was searched, and there was no trace of the 'farewell spirit'.
Mo Qingyuan looked around with a tired face, "Could it be that he disappeared out of thin air!" ”
Suddenly, he glanced at the surface of the lake, as if he noticed something unusual, pointed to the surface of the lake and shouted, "Senior brother, look! ”
Everyone bowed their heads according to his gestures, but no one seemed to notice anything unusual. Phantom Lake is still so clear and blue. A few thin clouds in the sky are imprinted on the surface of the lake at the moment, and the faint water vapor lingers around, making it like a cloud fairyland.
"Ahh Yi Yuntian was shocked, "This illusory sea once upon a time showed a real reflection, but now it really shows the sky. ”
"This?" Yi Yuntian brushed the surface of the water, and the faint True Yuan rippled on the surface of the water, "No, the Phantom Sea Lake seems to have lost its vitality, and there are no thousands of changes in the past. ”
Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "The Great God of Chiyou has also given me the spiritual power of this illusory sea, isn't it ......"
"Phantom Sea is dead!" Mo Qingyuan sighed, "At first, I thought it was the illusion of the Phantom Sea that hid the 'Spirit of Farewell', so we couldn't find it. But now that the Phantom Sea has lost its spiritual power, we will definitely find something if we look carefully. ”
When all the disciples heard this, they all cheered up and entered the water one after another. However, until noon, everyone was tired, and there was still no gain.
"Could it be that the spiritual power of the 'Farewell Spirit' merged with the Phantom Sea and disappeared together?" Mo Qingyuan was puzzled and sighed heavily.
"Gone!" Everyone was stunned, but Qin Yuan didn't dare to say anything.
"I think the loss of spiritual power in this illusory sea must also be related to the disappearance of the 'Farewell Spirit'!" Mo Qingyuan said in thought.
"It's really gone!" Yi Yuntian sighed softly, his eyes a little confused.
"Senior brother!" Mo Qingyuan looked at him, "Actually, the 'Farewell Spirit' has only been used for sacrifice in the Phantom Sea for thousands of years, so don't worry too much if you lose it!" Now it's all about rebuilding Sky Peak. In addition, the motives of the New Moon must be investigated, and they must not be allowed to be so rampant anymore! ”
"That's right! Senior brother, it's rare for Qingyuan to see it so thoroughly! Yun Ruo chuckled slightly.
Yi Yuntian listened, his gaze locked on the front. After a long time, his tightly knit brows gradually relaxed, "In such an emergency, I am stubborn about this. I really don't deserve to be the head of this house! With that, he bowed slightly to everyone.
Everyone was stunned and relieved.
On Yunxiao Peak, Yi Yuntian and Elder Zhufeng looked down on their faces with tired faces. Behind him, thousands of disciples were busy cleaning up the rocks. And the grief that can't be concealed in their eyes erodes everyone's seemingly strong heart. The original beautiful mountains and rivers and towering Yunxiao Peak have long since fallen apart, and the mountains and rocks are pouring down. The glorious ** Cloud Hall is now only a ruin, the blazing flames have turned the entire Cloud Peak into a piece of scorched earth, and the foul smell mixed with the choking smell of ashes stimulates everyone's sense of smell.
Yi Yuntian's eyes were red, and he couldn't bear it, so he asked slowly: "Qu Yi, how about the casualties of the junior disciples?" ”
"Master!" Qu Yi stepped forward and almost choked up: "The vast majority of the disciples who have not yet reached the Qing Realm have not been able to escape from the sea of fire. At that time, the fire broke out too suddenly, and some Fengqing disciples were also unprepared and were involved in it. I wanted to save a few more people, but the fire was so fierce that I ......"
"Hmm!" Yi Yuntian sighed softly, patted Qu Yi's shoulder and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, you have done your best." That fire contains the power of Daoqing, which is not something you can bear. ”
Yi Yuntian looked up at the sky and concentrated slightly, as if sorting out his emotions. After a moment, he spread his arms and motioned for the disciples to look over. Seeing this, all the disciples stopped their hands one after another, and stood in place to look up at Yi Yuntian, who seemed to be old overnight. Yi Yuntian eased his mind slightly, and said aloud to his disciples: "My Phantom Sea has suffered such an accident, which is really distressing. However, we cannot be depressed and lose our sorrow over the loss of our loved ones. Rebuild the clouds, reshape the glory of the ancestors, and make the dead dead and the survivors strong! ”
"The dead are gone, but the survivors are strong!" All the disciples said in harmony, and their eyes flashed with burning tears.
"Good!" Seeing this, Mo Qingyuan clapped his hands and shouted, "Senior brother, my disciples who are not successful in the peak of eight thousand can also be mobilized!" ”
Yi Yuntian nodded slightly, and smiled at Shi Butong: "No, I have thousands of disciples in this peak, I'm afraid I'm going to temporarily stay in your Yunqing Peak!" ”
Shi Butong heard it and said, "I'm still worried that I can't help you, senior brother." Yun Qingfeng doesn't have much else, but there are a lot of idle houses, and you can move in after a little repair. Brother, you can live as long as you want. I'm not afraid of anything, I'm afraid that there are fewer people, and more people are lively! ”
As soon as Shi Butong said this, everyone heard that Du Le was reconciled, and the originally solemn atmosphere was instantly relieved.
"Senior brother! In addition to rebuilding the clouds, what is another thing to do? Mo Qingyuan asked, frowning slightly.
"Senior brother, you have carefully investigated the New Moon for several years, and you are the most familiar with the New Moon in the Phantom Sea. What do you think? Yi Yuntian looked at Mo Qingyuan and said sincerely.
"I'm also struggling with this, and it's not easy to find out the motive of the New Moon. Moreover, their whereabouts are strange, and they often behave unexpectedly, and if they are bold and unusual, they may not be able to get a satisfactory answer. Mo Qingyuan sighed, very helpless.
"Hmm!" Yun Ruo turned his mind and said: "That's true, it seems that if you want to understand the motives of the new moon, you have to find another way." ”
Yi Yuntian listened, his eyes closed slightly, and he muttered for a long time: "Please Heavenly Master, sacrifice to the sky and open your eyes!" ”
"Ahh Yun Ruoxuan, Mo Qingyuan, and Shi Butong shouted in unison, "No! ”
Zhou Yi was stunned and looked at everyone suspiciously. Seeing his puzzled face, Shi Butong said anxiously: "Zhou Yi, although you are already an elder, you still know too little about some things in the Phantom Sea. Worshipping the heavens and opening the eyes is a spell that the ancestors of my Phantom Sea clan realized thousands of years ago, which is used to connect the heavens and the earth, communicate with the heavenly masters, open the heavenly eyes in the underworld, and see the ups and downs of the world. ”
Shi Butong paused for a moment and continued: "Using this spell can provide insight into everything in the world, but there are great taboos. As the saying goes, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. Those who cast this spell will inevitably suffer the damnation of heaven, and the light ones will have their internal organs damaged, and the heavy ones will die. The ancestors knew the power of this spell, so it was only passed on to the heads of the past dynasties. ”
"I see!" Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Uncle Shi, don't make this decision." I think there must be something else that works! ”
"Yes, junior brother!" Yun Ruo looked at Yi Yuntian and said with emotion, "Could it be that you forgot that our master went like this!" ”
Yi Yuntian smiled faintly, shook his head slightly, and said, "I think that when Master invited Heavenly Master to sacrifice to the heavens to open his eyes, he must have made the same choice as me." Sacrificing to the heavens and opening his eyes to the head of the house is to ask the head to take on such a heavy responsibility in times of crisis. Master also tried his best to cast this spell because he had a premonition of the existence of a crisis. And now, I am constantly in fear, as if a catastrophe is about to befall me. My intuition tells me that the Heavenly Tribulation predicted by Master and his old man is coming, and it is time to open the Heavenly Eye and predict the Heavenly Opportunity. ”
"No, senior brother, things don't have to be so bad. As a last resort, this technique is not available! Mo Qingyuan said, his tone agitated.
"Everyone! Have you forgotten? Yi Yuntian said, with tears in his eyes, "What Master saw back then was a catastrophe. However, until his death, he was not able to fully comprehend what he had seen. The panic and anxiety of his dying days terrified me. At that time, his body was getting weaker and weaker due to the backlash of spells, but he still looked at the sky all day long, praying for more clues. If I retreat now, what face will I have to see Master after I return to the earth! ”
"And Senior Brother, our Senior Brother!" Yi Yuntian eased his emotions, "Fifteen years ago, he resolutely decided to look for the hope that Master said, in order to pray that the common people could escape this catastrophe. ”
"Big brother!" Everyone was shocked, the senior brother who was supposed to inherit the position of the patriarch back then was able to fulfill his promise to the master by himself.
"He is going to meet the master's wishes, he is going to take on the heavy responsibility that should be shared by the people of the world alone!" Yi Yuntian said, his face was full of tears.
