Chapter 33: A Blind Eye
The same curiosity on the faces of the two pleased the old turtle.
"Just want to know. He coughed lightly, "Even if you don't want to know today, I'm going to tell you about it." β
The two of them choked at the same time, crying and laughing.
The old turtle had already said to himself: "Tens of thousands of years ago, I was also a figure who stirred up the wind and rain in the sky, and when I was in high spirits, someone told me that I would have a great disaster......"
Seeing that the old turtle paused, Jiu Qianfeng asked at the right time, "Do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it! Not only did I not believe it, but I also beat him up!" Speaking of the past, the old turtle's translucent face showed a little stunned.
The two of them knew that he was about to open the conversation, and hurriedly echoed a few words, hoping that he would continue.
"Later, by coincidence, I heard rumors about the Wuji Ice Ruins, so I relied on my own cultivation to be high, crisscrossed the sea for many years, and found a few friends to go on an adventure together. I didn't expect to hunt geese all day long, but I was pecked by geese. Before I found the ice ruins, I didn't even know that there was a pillar of death! I didn't expect that no matter how high your cultivation was, as long as it was a living thing, it would be impossible to escape!"
The old turtle's voice was full of sadness, like a cry.
What's even more sad is that as an ice sculpture, he can't even shed a tear, and he only choks up in his words.
"The predecessor was swept up here by the Pillar of Death?" Wangshu exclaimed in surprise.
"What? You know the Pillar of Death?"
"We had inquired about it before we came, but luckily, we hadn't seen it. Jiu Qianfeng smiled and continued.
Wangshu glanced at Jiu Qianfeng casually, and then turned to the old turtle, expecting him to continue.
"You're in luck, no wonder the man said......" The old turtle said in an envious tone, and closed his mouth again in the middle of speaking.
He picked up the previous words: "I also learned later that the Pillar of Death was originally the tentacles of the ice ruins. β
"What?!" Wang Shu was shocked, "What do seniors mean, the ice ruins are living creatures?!"
The old turtle bowed: "So to speak. β
Jiu Qianfeng and Wangshu glanced at each other, and then asked, "How did you survive that senior?"
"Originally, I thought I was going to die, I felt that the whole person was crushed by a terrifying breath, and my body stiffened little by little, until I could no longer move, and then soon, I passed out, and I didn't expect to wake up ......"
I don't know what picture the old turtle came up with, and his eyes were strangely shining.
Seeing that he spoke slowly and intermittently, Wang Shu couldn't help but ask urgently: "What happened later?"
"Why is the little girl impatient...... the old turtle glanced at her dissatisfied, "After waking up, I found that I had a transparent body again, and in addition, you also saw that there was an extra bead of light on the tail." β
"At first, I was glad that I had survived, but then I realized that we could no longer leave here, and at most we could only walk around the ice ruins......"
Thinking of the past, the old turtle still had an irrepressible fear on his face: "Then I saw with my own eyes those companions, one by one, turned into ice sculptures, no matter what cultivation they did, they could not escape their doom." β
"Hehe......" he said with a self-deprecating look on his face, "The cultivation I am proud of can only allow me to live for a while longer, and when my friends also turn into ice sculptures and die one after another, I know that it will be my turn soon." β
The amount of information is too large, and it can't be digested for a while, and Wangshu and Jiu Qianfeng are in a daze.
"But just as I was waiting to die, guess who I saw?"
"Who?" the two said in unison, inexplicably guessing that it had something to do with them.
"Who else can there be, the person who said that I was in great trouble back then, you can't guess it so simple!" The old turtle mung bean was a little unhappy in his eyes, obviously thinking that their attitude towards listening to the story was not proper enough.
"Since that person has the ability to come in, why didn't he bring the seniors out?"
The old turtle felt that he had asked a good question this time, and nodded slightly: "I also asked the same question as you back then." β
Thinking of the man's answer, the old turtle sighed for a while.
The man said, 'I am the one who guides you, not the one who saves you, and since you have been swept here by the pillar of death, you are doomed to the future.' β
When he heard this, he was almost annoyed.
Originally, seeing that person was like a drowning person seeing a floating beam and just trying to pick it up, but the beam "clicked" and sank......
Who can stand this?
Fortunately, after so many years of hard work, his temperament has already been smoothed out, and he will not be angry.
That's why there is this good voice and good spirit, a glimmer of life.
It's just a pity that this life can't fall on him, after all, his time is short.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiu Qianfeng couldn't help but ask, "What did that person say?"
"What do you think he will say since I'm still here?" the old turtle was short of breath.
Listening to his slightly complaining tone, it was easy for the two of them to hold back their laughter.
"Is that the person who let the seniors wait for us here?" The two of them are just unknown little people, how can He De become a glimmer of life for the old turtle, Wang Shu is puzzled.
"That's right. After saying this, the old turtle was silent.
Instead, he remembered what the man had said before he leftβ
The sky does not say what it does, the earth does not say it, all things are born, and if people do not say it, things can be done.
Thinking of this, the old turtle didn't dare to divulge too much about him, and instead asked, "What do you think of this ice ruin?"
Since these two people are a glimmer of life, they can find something unusual.
Wangshu looked at Jiu Qianfeng, looked at his expression, and knew that he was obviously thinking of himself, so he said decisively: "Dare to ask the seniors, if the ice ruins are already considered living creatures, then aren't we in danger all the time?"
"That's not all. β
The old turtle knew their worries, and was also afraid of scaring the two away, so he couldn't help but say a few more words: "According to my suspicion for many years, this ice ruin should only have a survival instinct, so it draws our life through the pillar of death, but I don't know why, but it doesn't let us die immediately, but exists as another creature." β
"Didn't the seniors think it was the problem of the light beads?" Jiu Qianfeng interjected.
"Naturally, I thought about it. β
The old turtle's expression was a little distorted after speaking, and his thoughts about the light bead were complicated.
This pearl of light was like a demon pill to him, and he never doubted it at first, as if this bead was born to grow on himself, and other people's mentality was the same.
Moreover, I have seen that the lost bodies of my companions can also grow back in an instant through beads, and everyone is even more protective of each other!
It wasn't until later that he asked about the man, and he only said one word-
A leaf blinds, does not see Mount Tai, two earplug beans, do not hear thunder.
This sentence seemed to be an initiation, and he suddenly began to examine this strange bead.
