Withered Flower: Ethereal Stone
Mo Ling'er was stunned all the way, and she didn't say a word in the face of Teacher Ye's comfort, and stood still several times, if it wasn't for Ye Fan stopping in time every time, I'm afraid she would have been wet by the rain a long time ago. (See, see, again)
Ye Fan opened his mouth to comfort a few words at first, but then he was silent, thinking about it from his own position, the so-called despair is nothing more than that, the cold rain slid down the umbrella surface and dripped on Ye Fan's shoulder, quickly soaking half of his body, but how could this cold match Mo Ling'er's coldness.
Not only is the talent of the spiritual path, but even her life is continued by the Void Spirit Stone, the principle is also very simple, sealing the power of the void requires an extremely large amount of spiritual power, it is this spiritual power that forcibly continues her life, but this also causes the seal to gradually weaken, although the breath of the void has not yet been revealed, but I am afraid it will not be long in coming, and when the spiritual power of the seal is completely dissipated, there are only two ends waiting for Mo Ling'er, being devoured by the void, or taking out the void spirit stone and dying directly.
No matter what kind of result it is, don't say that she can't accept it, Ye Fan can't accept it either, but what can be done, the human race's research on the void has stopped in the Void Demon Era, although he is a holy spirit scholar, but in the face of this situation, he is helpless.
Mo Ling'er squatted down suddenly, Ye Fan hurriedly stopped, and leaned over the umbrella as much as possible to shield her from the wind and rain, which was all he could do now.
"What's wrong, are you not feeling well?" Ye Fan asked softly.
Mo Ling'er shook her head, she stared at the ground in a daze, pointed to the red flower that was broken by the rainstorm and asked, "Teacher Ye, is this ...... Flowers?"
Located on top of the ice field, the climate is dry and cold all year round, and most plants are difficult to survive except for a few trees, let alone the fragile plant of the flower, this small red flower may not be uncommon elsewhere, but it can be considered a wonder in the city of North Wind.
"The results of the Department of Science and Technology a few days ago, but it was quite a failure, it was said that many plants suitable for the north were transformed, but it was only theoretically feasible, in fact, it didn't live for half a month and almost died, this place should be the last planting area, and there are still a lot of alive, but it's also ......."
Ye Fan subconsciously stopped talking, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, knowing Mo Ling'er's situation, and saying these unlucky words, the ghost knows what this science and technology department is researching, and making some things that are useless.
In this complex world, you may never be able to see what kind of despair and pain a seemingly intelligent and mature girl is going through, some pain is up, some pain is spiritual, the former can be endured, and the latter ...... There is only despair.
"Is it dead?"
Mo Ling'er gently touched the little red flower that had already died, and the rain dripped down the tips of her hair, drop after drop.
“...... Well. ”
"Did it survive?"
"It has lived, no matter how short the time is, it has also had life, it has existed in this world. ”
"Teacher Ye, I'...... How much time do you have left?"
"Up to two years. ”
Ye Fan hesitated for a moment but told her the answer, at the current rate of sealing spiritual power loss, it will dissipate in two years, but this is not absolute, if you can find the person who made the Void Spirit Stone, maybe you can know what the sealing spell is, so that you can replenish its spiritual power and continue the existence of the seal, so that Mo Ling'er's life can be maintained accordingly.
It's just that how could the person who made the Void Spirit Stone expose his whereabouts and do such a forbidden thing, once his identity is found out by various clans, he will face endless pursuit, and now the only clue is the two envoys of the Southern Jade Kingdom.
"That's enough, two years is enough, Mr. Ye, do you remember? When I first arrived in Lingwan, you asked me...... No, it's two of us. Mo Ling'er suddenly smiled, like a nobody.
Ye Fan was silent, of course he remembered that in the early spring two years ago, all the senior three classes in the Spirit Law District he led had graduated, and Lingwan ushered in a large number of new students, and he still remembered that Mo Ling'er was just a timid girl at that time, whether in class or after class, she read silently by herself and did not communicate with others.
The vast majority of the spiritual law department are the children of nobles, and Mo Ling'er can't fit into that circle at all, but she has to work more than ten times harder than these noble children, and she can still ensure her studies while working to make money, it is this that impresses Ye Fan, he will always find time to answer Mo Ling'er's questions, chat with her by the way, and help this timid girl as much as possible.
Mo Ling'er did not disappoint him, the junior spirit, the intermediate spirit, the senior spirit, and now the great spirit, in just two years, her realm has improved ridiculously fast, and even alarmed Ye Bei, and she was awarded the knight's medal.
"I thought you would ask us like any other teacher why we want to study the Tao and what we want to do after graduation, but no, you ask us very seriously, is there something that you would like to give your life for?
Mo Ling'er paused and continued, "I still remember, at that time, only four people answered your question, and many students didn't know how to answer, and I was the same, you were very dissatisfied with this, and deducted all of our points, and told us that unless the answer satisfies you, one point will be deducted every semester, and to this day, I have been deducted a full four credits by you." ”
"yes, I was really disappointed at the beginning, so do you have an answer now?"
Recalling all the things at the beginning, Ye Fan couldn't help but smile, these two questions were indeed too difficult for a twelve or thirteen-year-old student to answer, and he still remembered that Witt said an answer that made people laugh and cry.
"Teacher Ye, I am willing to give my life for the sake of doughnuts! If there are only three days left in my life, I will definitely buy a house of doughnuts and eat them all the time! Otherwise, ...... Otherwise, there is no chance. ”
Ye Fan's first question seems simple, but it is actually very complicated, it goes straight to the heart, everyone will have a different answer, some people are willing to give their lives for freedom, some people are willing to give their lives for their beliefs, some people are willing to give their lives for honor, and of course, there are also students like Werther who are willing to give their lives for the sake of doughnuts.
Mo Ling'er didn't answer, she bent down to pick up the dead red flower on the ground, and gently lifted it, and the originally broken petals disappeared into the rain curtain in a blink of an eye.
"Do you remember what the teacher said in the first class? You are my Ye Fan's students, as long as you stay in Lingwan for a day and I am still alive, I must be responsible for you. ”
Ye Fan stretched out his hand, the wind direction changed suddenly, and the red flower that had disappeared returned to his hand again, but the flower had become fragmented, even if he was a Holy Spirit Priest, he could not restore it to its original state, and the dead could never come back, and when the manpower was finally exhausted, Ye Fan suddenly realized at this moment, it turned out that this was Mo Ling'er's answer.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, these two years have really ...... Really appreciate your care. ”
Mo Ling'er had red eyes, she walked out of Ye Fan's umbrella regardless of the wind and rain, and the heavy rain instantly drenched her, but Mo Ling'er didn't care anymore, she turned around and bowed to Ye Fan three times, and then disappeared into the rain without looking back.
Ye Fan didn't catch up, he didn't say anything, he just looked at the broken flower in his hand in a daze, the spirit array appeared on the back of his hand, and the huge wood spirit gradually gathered, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't arouse the vitality of this flower, it was dead, completely dead......
......
Mo Ling'er walked fast, but she didn't know where she was going at all, she just kept getting drenched in the rain and shivering all over her body, so as to calm her mind, if she continued to stay by Ye Fan's side, she was afraid that she would really collapse.
It turns out that the talent of the Spirit Dao is only given by the Void Spirit Stone, so what is his efforts over the years?
With only two years left, does it all still make sense?
A helpless girl strolling in the heavy rain, she has no resentment, no resentment, just feels helpless, disheartened, if it weren't for the Void Spirit Stone, maybe she would have died a long time ago, but this kind of fate that has been doomed, she really doesn't want it.
Where to go now?
What to do?
Mo Ling'er didn't have an answer, she wanted to pretend that she didn't know anything, and went to dinner with the Rose as usual, preparing papers, teaching autumn spells, and shopping in the shopping street, but she really couldn't do it.
There is a limit to people's ability to bear, and she is the same, what has happened in the past few months, she really can't bear so many blows.
"This beautiful lady, you don't seem to have an umbrella with you, if you don't dislike it, tell me where you're going, and I can give you a ride. ”
The rain disappeared suddenly, this voice seemed to have been heard somewhere, but Mo Ling'er couldn't think of it for a while, she raised her head blankly, and there was a man standing in front of her, with blue eyes and red hair, tall and thin, dressed very luxuriously, he was holding a black umbrella, and was looking at herself with a smile.
“...... Sir Monan?"
Mo Ling'er rubbed her eyes, and carefully identified it again, the person in front of her was indeed Mo Nan, the soft light reflected Mo Nan's face through the window, and she didn't know when she walked to the door of a restaurant on the commercial street.
"Where don't we meet in life, Ms. Ling, let's meet again, do you think this is a kind of fate?"
Mo Nan tried his best to organize the language, trying to show a gentlemanly demeanor, but he knew it clearly in his heart, in the past few days, Lingwan announced the opening to the outside world, and he hurriedly came to find Mo Ling'er, but Lingwan is too big, and the classes are countless, where can you find it.
However, just now, on the same rainy day, without an umbrella, and by chance, he happened to see it, and Mo Nan wondered if the gods had heard his heart.
“...... Poof, haha. ”
Mo Ling'er lifted her wet hair and looked at Mo Nan and couldn't help laughing, it was this old-fashioned accosting again, she suddenly understood a little, must she be luckier to live to be seventy years old than to live to be seventeen years old?
Life gives meaning to time, and it is not time that gives meaning to life.
