Chapter 123: The Strength of the Prophet

She thought that she would be eager to return to the place she longed for when the contract expired, but to her surprise, in the past twenty years, I don't know when the things she dreamed of were out of reach.

Time is like a sharp sword, no matter how deep the memory is, it can be cut beyond recognition, and no matter how firm the belief is, it will gradually dissipate with time.

Subtly, deep down in her heart, she had already regarded Meteorite Peak as her home, no matter how far away she was or how long she had been gone, she knew that she would eventually return here, except here, she didn't know where she was staying.

Just when the Prophet had said that the contract had expired, she was so disappointed.

As if her thoughts had been captured by the Prophet, the Prophet looked back at her and said in a magnetic voice, "Of course, the decision is up to you."

The voice was still so indifferent, but the night clouds were in his ears after whirling.

"Every qiē of mine is given by the Holy Master, and my life is only for the Meteorite Peak", hearing the words of the prophet, Yunyan immediately replied firmly.

"Twenty years is the end of the contract," the prophet asked, as if remembering something.

Yeyun was silent for a long time, and replied softly, "Yes."

"Maybe you've forgotten about it", the prophet's figure flickered on and off, but he couldn't see clearly, "from the day you signed the contract, I promised you twenty years of youth and strength beyond mortals, and now that the contract has expired, you can't have such looks and abilities for long."

"I know"

"Why, then, do you refuse to leave? Isn't mortal the place you've always dreamed of?"

"Out of here, I don't know where else to go." Yeyun lowered his head and said no more.

Oh, yes. Mortal dust had been the paradise she had dreamed of, and yet. After all, it was just once, and she had adhered to the same dream for twenty years without changing, how many people in this world could do it? Perhaps, the existence of a prophet like a prophet can be an exception, but after all, she has only been a mortal for twenty years, and she is as different from the prophet in front of her, and it will never be compared.

The Prophet looked up at the mirror-like night sky. Like every night for years.

The stars in the night sky are slowly changing directions from one star to another, not only have the stars in the west fallen a lot in recent days, but even the stars in the entire night sky are gradually disappearing.

"Then, you can stay, and you don't have to sign this contract anymore, you can still have youth and strength." The prophet said this, and floated to the end of the main hall.

"Holy Master, please stay", Yeyun seemed to remember something, and said loudly.

"What?" the soothsayer stopped his body drifting forward.

"That person is still in Heavenly Desolate City at the moment. Shall I bring him here?" Yeyun was so flustered when she was in Heavenly Desolate City that she forgot that the task given to her by the prophet was to bring Leng Yi back, and only then did she remember that Leng Yi was still lying in the mud.

"Oh, why didn't you bring him with you?" said the prophet, still with a magnetic voice.

"Leng Yi's heart is like ashes now, like a waste, I can't bear to forcibly detain him back. So ......". Night Cloud's voice faded.

Speaking of this, the scene before the separation between Heavenly Desolate City and Leng Yi couldn't help but resurface in her mind......

The strange man she had only met a few times held her face and questioned her heartbreakingly, that was how close she had been to a man in her life. However. She had forgotten to dodge, to block his hand when it came to her.

That's when she found out. It turned out that his face was so handsome, with a harmonious and tight outline. The eyebrows that are like sharp swords horizontally between the ears, the desperate but deep eyes, even if the face is full of dirt, are incomparably delicate in the dim light, just like the purple flame flowers that bloom in the dark night of the Meteorite Peak, pure and soft.

How could this mortal have such a beautiful face?

She thought so dazedly that she had forgotten to keep her proper distance from him. At that moment, the heart that had been cold and indifferent instantly flooded with monstrous waves, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

It wasn't until his nails dug into her shoulders and a sharp tingling sensation came that she came to her senses and pushed him away with a palm. However, her heart, which had never been turbulent, was already in turmoil at the sight of this face, and she only thought about how to escape from there as much as possible, and the task assigned by the prophet was suddenly thrown out of the clouds by her.

As Yeyun fell into deep thought, a word from the prophet pulled her back from the illusion, only to hear the prophet mutter, "See, the stars are dimmed, and their orbits have shifted, could it be ......?"

Yeyun, who was deep in thought, was awakened by the voice of the prophet, and was afraid that the prophet would see through what she had just thought, so she was at a loss, and her words were unexpectedly broken, "Ah...... Holy Master, do you mean Leng Yi?"

The Prophet suddenly turned and looked at the panicked Night Cloud.

Seeing the prophet looking at her, Yeyun was shocked in her heart, and only after a moment did she whisper, "Could it be that the star that the Holy Master is referring to has something to do with Leng Yi?" Because she has been under the powerful barrier of the prophet for a long time, she has no idea that after the prophet withdraws that coercion, her inner world is already only her own.

But the prophet's gaze still made Yeyun uncomfortable, and she desperately wanted to find a crack to get into. She lowered her head and tried to find something on the blue and white slate, but she couldn't find anything on the blue and white slate that would stop her from embarrassing.

"Yes, the movement of that star will disturb the course of all stars, and then all the stars in the whole sky will be in chaos", the prophet ignored her, and said to himself, "Soon there will be countless stars that fall."

"Is that the star that corresponds to Leng Yi?" Speaking of Leng Yi, Yeyun's attention couldn't help but focus, full of anticipation for the prophet to reveal more information about Leng Yi.

However, the prophet was silent and stopped speaking.

Yeyun didn't know if he had asked too much, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.

After a long time, the prophet said: "The gods will be turned upside down because of this man, and a new era is coming, and the gods may change their new masters." After speaking, the prophet floated towards the night clouds, still in a magnetic voice, and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to save him at this time?"

Even though this hall was no longer as intimidating as it used to be, Yeyun still involuntarily took two steps back. "I'll go and bring him to Meteorite Peak right away," he said. He turned around and wanted to run out.

"No," as Night Cloud was about to turn around. The Prophet spoke up, "If he is destined to disturb the people, even if the road ahead is rough, his life will be worry-free."

Yeyun stopped and looked back at the hazy face, the prophet had never spoken so much to her in twenty years, and now, for unknown reasons. The prophet became kind and talkative, as if he had changed people.

Nightclouds were surprised by the change in the Prophet, but they were also greatly flattered, but for whatever reason, for Nightcloud, the Prophet's change was exactly what she wanted.

Yeyun pondered for a moment, then suddenly his knees drooped, he fell to the ground, and pleaded, "Please allow me to help him."

"It is the mandate of heaven. You should not interfere lightly, if your participation disturbs this variable, do you know the consequences of going against the sky?" the prophet seemed to be a little angry, and his magnetic voice increased a little.

Night clouds lowered their eyes. His eyes gradually spread, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

For a long time, it seemed that he had strengthened his mind. Yeyun said with difficulty: "Even if you are trapped in the Nine Netherworld Sea, you will die in the Yellow Spring of Hell. I have no regrets."

The prophet seemed to be momentarily stunned by Yeyun's words, and did not speak for a long time. After a while, he said, "You have to do this." Then, even I can't save you."

At this point, the prophet seemed to remember something, and his body gradually drifted towards the skylight on the cliff, and looked down at the cliff below him. Like a cliff cut by a giant knife, it has been submerged into the bottomless clouds under the meteorite peak, and the white starlight pours down from the sky layer by layer like a substance, shining on the cliff wall. The Meteorite Peak, which had never been rainy, seemed to have an extra layer of fog at this moment, and even the main hall where Yeyun was located was much hazy than before.

After a moment of silence, the Prophet sighed, "Do you remember the man I killed in the Rainy Valley twenty years ago?"

Yeyun didn't know why the prophet brought it up, but she should have guessed that that person should have something to do with her situation at the moment.

In the face of the prophet, Yeyun never hidden, "Remember, I met the Holy Master in the Rainy Valley, and then arrived here with the Holy Master."

"After so many years, you still remember it so clearly, so well." The prophet seemed to laugh, but the laughter was still magnetic in tone, and I don't know if he really laughed.

Suddenly, the prophet's wide robe was windless, and his sleeves were stirred up by spiritual power, "You were there at that time, did you hear my conversation with her?"

Yeyun only felt that the irresistible huge oppressive force before came down like a torrent again, surging towards her, Yeyun was hit hard in an instant, and her five organs and six lungs seemed to be separated from her entire body, shattering into powder in the torrent.

However, it was only a moment before the oppressive force quickly receded like a tide and disappeared without a trace. As if in a dream, that scene never seemed to happen, but the beads of sweat on Yeyun's face were still dripping down.

"Do you know why I want to kill this man?" The prophet was as calm as the stars in the night sky.

"Yeyun doesn't know", Yeyun's heavy breathing continued as she knelt on the blue and white stone slab, but she tried her best not to let her voice tremble.

The prophet floated to the night clouds with wide sleeves on his back and said, "Because, like you now, she has turned away from the will of heaven."

Yeyun looked up at the blurred face, what kind of face was hidden there! Just like twenty years ago in the Rainy Valley, there was always a layer of fog above the neck that could not be dispersed, and it was impossible to see clearly, and it had been like this for twenty years.

Needless to say, the strength of the prophet can give her infinite youth and power beyond mortals. In Yeyun's heart, the prophet is like a god-man who coexists in heaven and earth, which is beyond people's admiration.

Yeyun looked at the figure wrapped in a wide robe, and his mind gradually remembered the scene from the Rainy Valley twenty years ago.

Rain Valley, located on the northern border of the Ziwu Kingdom. This valley is full of birds and flowers during the day, among which there are countless strange flowers and plants, birds and beasts, such a magnificent scenery, it is not an exaggeration to call it a fairyland.

The most obsessive thing about the Rain Valley is that there is a strange flower growing in the valley, called Zininghua, which is known as the most beautiful flower species in the entire Ziwu country.

But every time this valley falls at night, the wind gusts, ghosts cry and wolves howl continuously, and the sound spreads for ten miles, and people within a radius of dozens of miles are all frightened. Several hunters from the vicinity went to this valley to hunt, and the result was a few days later. It was only found outside the Rainy Valley, but the hunters had turned into cold corpses. The corpse was only a white skeleton, with almost no flesh and blood on its body, and it was no different from the bones crawling out of the thousand-year-old grave except for the clothes that could identify the identity.

Since then, the Rain Valley has become one of the forbidden places in the Purple Crow Country. Whenever a child keeps crying, parents will always say to their child, "If you cry again, I will throw you into the Rainy Valley", which has become a common word to intimidate children after the Rainy Valley was listed as a forbidden place in the Purple Black Country.

Yeyun lives in Qixi Town, ten miles away from the Rainy Valley, and the legends of the Rainy Valley have been deeply rooted since childhood. She had just turned seventeen that year, and she had watery eyes since she was a child. As she grew older, she became more and more beautiful, and the people in the neighborhood did not lose her soul, so much so that many people called her the most beautiful person in the Ziwu Country.

There is a legend that has been circulating in the Ziwu Country since ancient times, and it is said that the purple condensation flowers that grow in the Rain Valley can only be picked by the most beautiful people in the entire Ziwu country, and only the most beautiful people in the Ziwu country are qualified to have purple condensation flowers.

On a stormy evening, she didn't listen to her parents' persuasion and came alone and secretly came to the Rainy Valley, for no other reason than to pick a blooming purple flower. In order to prove that she is not the most beautiful person in the entire Ziwu Country.

However, as soon as I entered the valley, the downpour continued to fall, drenching the valley of the rain. She was also drenched with her laundry. Because of the heavy rain, she curled up under a large tree, hoping to borrow branches to shelter her from the wind and rain. But the rain seemed to be endless, even though the foliage of the big tree was extremely dense. It is also difficult to shelter from the pouring rain.

Then the wind blew fiercely, blowing the raindrops from east to west. A seventeen-year-old girl in such a cold valley. Let the wind blow and the rain blow.

Yeyun looked around, trying to find out if the purple condensation flower was nearby, but to her disappointment, there was no trace of the purple condensation flower around, the heavy rain still kept falling, she looked up at the branches, the sky became darker and darker, she was a little panicked, the fear gradually spread to the bottom of her heart, all kinds of terrible legends of the Rain Valley couldn't help but come to mind, the more she wanted to control herself not to think about it, the more those legends appeared like a shadow, lingering.

The sound of raindrops hitting the dirt and the rustling of trees in the wind are roaring like demons in my ears. Yeyun looked around, and her heart became more and more frightened, as if something evil was lurking around, and it was gradually approaching her.

She tried to flee as much as she could, but the downpour was so heavy that she couldn't leave the tree. She even imagined if there might be something hidden in the big tree she was leaning back to.

She couldn't stay any longer, something terrible was coming, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she didn't care about the raindrops hitting her face like needles, and rushed out in a panic.

Nightcloud panicked, and without looking, she sprang out, and as she swooped out, she turned her head to see if there was really something terrible lurking at the bottom of the tree she had just curled up.

Just as she was rushing out, she suddenly seemed to have hit something, because the speed was too fast, she stumbled backwards and flew back, and slammed into the big tree, and suddenly her eyes were gold, and the bones of her whole body seemed to fall apart in pain.

Before she could see what it was, she heard an angry voice say, "Who are you?"

Yeyun rubbed his aching shoulders, looked up and looked forward, and at a glance, all of a sudden, the cold hairs on his body stood upright, and he saw a lonely ghost in front of him who seemed to have just crawled out of the Nine Hells, his whole body was dirty, his face was hideous, and his nirvana hair was sticking to her face one by one, and the rain crackled on her, and then gathered into a spring water to rush to the ground under her feet, and under such a heavy rain, the rain could not wash away the mud on her body.

Yeyun finally saw clearly, from the outline of the rain-soaked clothes, it could be discerned that this person should be a woman, only to see that the person held a broken sword and pointed directly at the tip of Yeyun's nose, and said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Yeyun breathed rapidly, stared blankly at the broken sword in front of him, and said in a low voice, "You, who are you?"

"If you don't answer, I'll kill you." I saw that the man was about to come up with a sword, and the tip of the sword was against the night cloud road.

Yeyun has been more courageous than others since she was a child, otherwise she would not have run alone to a forbidden place like Rainy Valley, but when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Isn't that the female ghost here?" she thought to herself.

Suddenly, an extremely piercing rumbling sound sounded from the sky, and suddenly the entire Rain Valley flew sand and rocks. The tree broke its branches, and the loud sound swept like a tornado. The two of them looked around in panic under the tree, and Yeyun reached out and grabbed the thick root of a tree beside him. Fear of being blown away by the wind.

The man with the broken sword was even more flustered, putting aside the night clouds and looking nervously at the sky full of debris.

At this moment, as if frozen by time, the sound of a qiē disappeared, everything stood still, the flying debris stopped in the air, and the violently shaking branches also stopped in an instant. In addition to not stopping his thoughts, Yeyun even stood there like a statue of his clothes. The eyes, the falling raindrops, all stopped in a state of movement.

"I said, although the world is big, there is no place for you to live anymore", a magnetic voice that could not distinguish the gender came into Yeyun's ears.

And the person with the broken sword seemed to be out of the realm of stillness, only to see the man bow down, bow to the ground, and say in a trembling voice: "Holy Master."

"Do you still want to escape?" the magnetic voice was indifferent and cold.

"Holy Master, please let us go." The woman with the broken sword said with a crying voice.

"Stygian sand, you go against the sky, the heavens and the earth will not tolerate it, if I don't execute you. In the future, this divine order will be completely subverted." After speaking, a dazzling blue light fell from the sky and stopped in the sky five feet above the ground.

I saw a wide ink-colored robe floating in the air. He was as dignified as a god, and his face was obscured by a hazy mist. I can't tell if it's a man or a woman.

The man floating in the sky continued, "You have turned your back on Providence. Vainly tried to tamper with the fortunes of the common people, and fled with the hot wind without authorization, and now, you still don't repent, you really deserve to be punished!"

"Is that person called Stygian Sand, and who is that person in the sky?" Although Yeyun could not move, his mind was not restricted.

Styx said hoarsely, "Please Holy Master, for the sake of my many years of service to you, let go of the hot wind, all sins are caused by me, and I am willing to bear all my faults."

"Can you afford it? He should have died, but if you forcibly turn things around and lead the demise of a city, can you bring all the dead back to life?"

"Tell the whereabouts of the hot wind, this is your only chance to make amends". In the sky, the man continued in a magnetic voice.

Stygian Sand raised his head with difficulty, as if he had exhausted all his strength to look up at the person floating in the sky. For a long time, as if he had strengthened some faith, the voice of the sand no longer cried, "I have been hiding in Tibet and have been breathing for so far, not because I am afraid of death, if he can be well, even if I die, what will I visit, and what does this world have to do with me."

The filthy body of the sand stopped trembling, only to see her body shake, and a turbid air flow spread out around her center, and the stains and rain on her body were instantly discharged from her body under the surge of the air current.

Yeyun saw it in his eyes, and his mind was so shocked that he stopped thinking for a moment.

The ugly face that turned out to be like a ghost was gone, and what appeared in front of me was a delicate girl, with a close-fitting purple dress, a graceful body, black hair in a shawl, a round jade face, and frowning eyebrows, as delicate and beautiful as a fairy.

"It turns out that she is the most beautiful person in the world." I have been living in the eyes of envy and jealousy, and when I saw this face today, I felt a sense of loss in the depths of my heart, "No wonder I couldn't find the purple condensation flower", Yeyun thought in his heart.

I only heard the Styx Sha continue, "I will never reveal half of the whereabouts of Yan Feng, since the Holy Master refuses to stop, then, please take action." When these words were spoken, every word was as difficult and calm as a thousand pounds of weight.

"Obsessed".

The person in the sky seemed to have lost the patience of persuasion, and the left hand on his back stretched out, and a blue light flashed out in the palm of his hand, gradually becoming more and more brilliant, only to see that the blue light expanded more and more, drowning the wide figure in the sky. The blue light was like a blazing sun, illuminating the entire Rainy Valley brighter and more dazzling than during the day.

"Annihilation", just listening to a low shout, the blue light shot straight down, instantly wrapped the sand kneeling on the ground, the light turned violently, and there was a heartbreaking, but vague voice faintly coming from it, "Yanfeng, I, no regrets......".

Just in an instant, the blue light disappeared in place, and the calm was restored, and the dark sand that was originally kneeling on the ground disappeared, and seemed to disappear with the blue light, leaving only the broken sword still stuck in the muddy ground, emitting bursts of blue light.

The people in the sky hadn't left, but they just stayed quietly in mid-air, for a long, long time, and the left hand on their back waved downward, and a blue light curtain poured down, suddenly enveloping the entire Rain Valley. (To be continued......)
