Chapter 980: An Unavoidable Tribulation
"Husband, husband......"
As soon as Qiao Yuan let go, Ling Wanchen suddenly turned around and called out like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, but the fog here was too thick to be seen clearly when it was close at hand, and the sound came out like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.
Nangong Yuxuan and Xiao Qingyun stopped at the same time, took a few steps back to Ling Wanchen's side, and asked, "What's going on?"
He ...... He just let go of my hand, and I turned around and couldn't find him. Ling Wanchen looked extremely worried, and said anxiously.
Nangong Yuxuan's eyes flashed with incomprehension, and he wondered: "How can this be? With the protection of the power of the Thunder Immortal Order, he should not be affected by the phantom array." ”
"Theoretically, this is true, but after all, this place is the first portal of the Thunder Immortal Continent, and it is extremely important, presumably it is not as simple as one thousand and eighty phantom arrays. ”
Xiao Qingyun frowned slightly, feeling a slight headache, counting this place today, he has actually walked through it four times, and he really doesn't know what the problem is.
Hearing their words, Ling Wanchen's heart suddenly sank, even Xiao Qingyun didn't know what was going on, so what could she do, after thinking about it again and again, her eyes lit up, she took off the concentric chain on her wrist and put it on her heart, carefully sensing Qiao Yuan's position.
Not long after, Ling Wanchen discovered that Qiao Yuan's position was not too far, and it was only more than ten zhang away from here, but when the three of them walked cautiously all the way, Ling Wanchen's induction changed, and Qiao Yuan's position moved more than ten zhang.
After doing this three times and twice, Xiao Qingyun immediately stopped Ling Wanchen's pursuit.
"I can't look for it anymore, I feel that there is a will in the dark here that is misleading us, or misleading Xiaoyuan, so that he has been leading us in circles. ”
"No, I don't believe it, I'll find my husband. Ling Wanchen shook his head violently, his eyes showed firmness, and he spoke urgently.
Although Xiao Qingyun was also worried about Qiao Yuan, his mind was calm enough, and after thinking about it, he looked at Ling Wanchen's heavy mouth.
"Brother and sister, don't worry, the phantom array here can only trap people, not hurt people, so Xiaoyuan will not be in danger in a short time, let's go out first, and when we get out, I will find a way to rescue him." ”
Ling Wanchen was silent, thought for a long time, and finally nodded, but at the moment when Xiao Qingyun and Nangong Yuxuan turned around and were about to walk forward, she suddenly broke free from Nangong Yuxuan's grasp of her hand, and disappeared into the thick fog when she retreated.
As much as she managed to tell herself, it was the most correct thing to follow Xiao Qingyun's opinion, but she still couldn't leave Qiao Yuan alone, relying on the concentric chain and the spiritual connection between the two, Ling Wanchen believed that she would definitely be able to find him.
In the vast mist, an unknown place, Qiao Yuan was stunned to see a woman walking towards him from far and near, the woman was dressed in a splendid palace dress, dignified and atmospheric, and the blue skirt was placed in her step by step, elegant and light, revealing a sense of fairy energy, which made people have no doubt that this should be a nine-day fairy who descended to the mortal world.
The figure is tall and graceful, and her temperament is dusty and elegant, but it is a pity that this woman's appearance is covered by a layer of fog and cannot be seen clearly, but even so, her beauty is enough to overwhelm all beings.
Qiao Yuan's heart was beating faster, his breathing was almost stagnant, his eyes were open to the maximum, his body trembled so much that he couldn't control himself, this figure, this breath, this feeling, he was extremely familiar with it, extremely nostalgic, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and his voice was hoarse.
"Mother!"
At this moment, Qiao Yuan had completely forgotten where he was, and there was only the woman who kept walking towards him in his eyes, and the scene of the demon test when Jin Dan broke through the Yuan Infant appeared in his heart.
When the woman approached him less than a foot away, Qiao Yuan knelt directly on the ground, bursting into tears, unable to restrain himself.
Although he had never seen his mother since he was born, the feeling that blood was thicker than water had been deeply imprinted in his heart since the test of his inner demons, and it could not be erased, it was not an imaginary and illusory feeling, but from the depths of his soul.
What is the demon of the heart, that is, the obsession of man, lingering, turning into the most fragile part of the will, and the demonic thought is born.
Whether it is obsession or demonic thoughts, they don't come out of thin air, Qiao Yuanzhi will see his parents when the demon is tested, because he has always been obsessed with them in his heart, and even the memory of his sealed soul is unconsciously projected out and turned into a part of the demon.
Therefore, Qiao Yuan will never admit his mother-in-law by mistake, but here, how could his mother-in-law appear for no reason, it is obviously not very logical, but at this moment, Qiao Yuan has lost his basic judgment, and it is difficult to look at this matter calmly and rationally.
In another place, Ling Wanchen shuttled alone in the dense fog, holding the concentric chains of the wings in his hands, sensing Qiao Yuan's position, and shouted as he walked forward: "Husband...... Husband......"
I don't know how far he walked, Ling Wanchen saw that the dense fog around him was getting thinner and thinner, and he was happy in his heart, and at the same time, he sensed that Qiao Yuan was a hundred zhang away in front of him, and he quickened his pace, and sure enough, he saw a very familiar figure.
Dressed in white, her back was as tall as a pine, although she couldn't see the front, Ling Wanchen still recognized it as Qiao Yuan at a glance, but just as she was about to smile and speak, there was a low shout in the distance ahead.
"Who's coming?"
With the voice came, there was an old man with gray hair, his body was burly and vigorous, and he came directly to Qiao Yuan ten zhang away in front of him, with an extremely dignified expression.
For some reason, Ling Wanchen obviously didn't know the old man, but he felt very familiar, so he didn't step forward to disturb the two, but stood from a distance and watched.
"A guest of Huayun City. Qiao Yuan's figure was motionless, and his voice came out faintly.
Hearing this, the old man was immediately shocked and hurriedly bent down to greet him. "It turned out to be a senior, senior, please come in!"
Qiao Yuan nodded lightly, walked in front of the old man unceremoniously, and walked into the distance, Ling Wanchen looked hesitant, not knowing whether to stop Qiao Yuan, she always felt that Qiao Yuan in front of her seemed to be a little different.
After hesitating, the two of them had disappeared without a trace, Ling Wanchen blinked, and hurriedly followed, even she didn't notice it at this moment, obviously not too far away, but the two of them didn't seem to be able to find themselves.
Unconsciously, Ling Wanchen actually followed her to a lush mountain peak, where the fog was not there, and she could not hear the sound of the waves coming from all the time, as if she was no longer on the Phantom Array Island.
The further she walked up the mountain, the tighter Ling Wanchen's brows became, and when she reached the top of the mountain, when she saw a magnificent hall, her body and mind were shocked, and there seemed to be ten thousand thunderbolts exploding in her head.
"This ...... Here it is...... Ling Family Ancestral Land!"
Thousands of years ago, the Ling family was also a powerful family, and it was the orthodox descendant of the God of War in the true sense, and it was much stronger than the Song family today, and it was even enough to be on an equal footing with the Yuehe Sect.
But I don't know why, the Ling family has withered in the past thousands of years, the blood has withered, the talent is sparse, and with the older generation of strong people sitting down one by one, it has gradually declined from strong to low, a thousand years ago, the head of the Ling family led the whole clan to join the Yuehe Sect in order to ensure the continuous inheritance of the family.
Since then, all the territory of the Ling family has been under the jurisdiction of the Yuehe Sect, only the descendants of the Ling family can enter this ancestral land of the Ling family, Ling Wanchen still remembers that when he was young, he had come with Ling Ruyuan several times to worship the ancestors, so he was quite familiar with every grass and tree in this place.
Ling Wanchen reacted immediately, calmed down, and said in a deep voice.
"This is an illusion, it must be the effect of the illusion array. ”
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Qiao Yuan, who was not far away, opened his mouth and said, "You don't have a long lifespan, but I can continue for you for another three thousand years, as long as you promise me one thing." ”
When the monk cultivates, what he pursues is the path of immortality, and at this moment, when the old man heard the words of three thousand years of life extension, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his face showed surprise and disbelief.
"Senior...... Is this true?"
Without any superfluous nonsense, Qiao Yuan stretched out his index finger, and there was a golden flash on his fingertips, which directly hit the center of the old man's eyebrows, and suddenly a majestic vitality poured into his body, making most of his gray hair instantly return to black, and his old face suddenly became much younger.
The old man was overjoyed, and bowed directly to Qiao Yuan, shouting: "What do the seniors command, the old man will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up." ”
Qiao Yuan nodded with satisfaction, turned sideways slightly, Ling Wanchen really saw half of his body clearly, handsome and resolute side face, extremely familiar, but if you look closely, you can see a slight difference, as if the years have left too much frost on his face, the dark pupils are deep and mysterious, and you can faintly see some exhaustion from the vicissitudes of life.
"It's not him, it's definitely not him. Ling Wanchen shook her head and muttered to herself, although the two looked exactly the same, she didn't think that the man in front of her was Qiao Yuan.
At this moment, Ling Wanchen also noticed that the man in white who looked like Qiao Yuan had his left hand in his robe, as if he was holding something.
Slowly, the man in white took out his left hand from his robe, and in front of the old man was an extremely beautiful lotus flower that bloomed, in the center of the lotus bud, a white and tender, only palm-sized baby fell asleep peacefully, very cute.
The moment she saw this baby, Ling Wanchen's heart shook wildly, and ten thousand thunderbolts appeared in her brain again, exploding continuously, the feeling that blood was thicker than water, and the feeling of being connected was unmistakable, making her give birth to the illusion that she was the baby.
"She has the blood of the god of war in her body, take care of her, and if one day this baby wakes up on its own, you can take her out of the bud and raise her. ”
The man in white, who looked like Qiao Yuan, spoke lightly, and after speaking, under the old man's fanatical and excited eyes, he handed the lotus flower and the baby to the old man.
"The bloodline of the god of war!" haha...... The old man took the lotus flower with both hands, looked at the sleeping baby, and couldn't help but look up excitedly and laugh.
The man in white glanced at the baby nostalgically, his expression was extremely complicated, and after a long time, he sighed lightly and spoke again.
"If one day, she meets someone who helps her awaken the bloodline of the god of war, please ...... Be sure to stop her from falling in love with that person. ”
"Senior, why is this?" the old man asked with a smile and some puzzlement.
A trace of unbearability flashed on the face of the man in white, and he turned around and walked slowly towards the bottom of the mountain, one step at a time, two steps, and at the moment when his figure disappeared, Ling Wanchen seemed to hear a helpless and painful whisper in his ears.
"I am the destined person of your destiny, and I am also the fate of the catastrophe that you cannot escape. ”
