Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 369 An Unexpected Ending
"Far North?" Xiang Bei, who was in a coma, was instantly awakened by these four words. He struggled to get up from the white fur of the snowy mountain, but he couldn't move because his body had not yet regained consciousness.
It was Yu'er's Ah Da, who jumped up in a hurry, grabbed the back hair of the snow mountain several times in the air, easily jumped to Xiang Bei's side, and then dragged him down by the neck.
"Ah Da!" Yu'er was worried that the middle-aged man would be unfavorable to Xiang Bei, so she hurriedly explained, "I saw that he was about to freeze to death in the Northern Wilderness Snow Plain, so I brought him back." He also has a sword spirit on him. ”
As she spoke, Yu'er took out Mingyang and handed it to the middle-aged man.
Yu'er's big name is Zhu Ruye, and he took Mingyang and looked at it for a while, "But it's a divine soldier." ”
But he was still very dissatisfied with Yu'er's action of bringing Xiang Bei back to the village without authorization.
"Our ancestors, who were not tolerated by the land of Kyushu, moved all the way north to here, so to speak, using the corpses of our ancestors to pave the way here. If you reveal our whereabouts again, I am afraid that our people will be killed. ”
Zhu Ruye is the steward of the village, and he usually has the final say in the daily affairs of the village, but seeing that the peace of hundreds of years was broken by an outsider's intrusion.
Moreover, the person who caused the trouble was still his daughter Xiaoyu, which made Zhu Ruye, who had always been calm, a little overwhelmed, and after a simple interrogation of Xiang Bei, he tied Xiang Bei and Xiaoyu with a rope at the same time, and escorted them to meet the elders of the village.
The elder is the highest spiritual cultivator in the village, although everyone is more or less endowed with some immortal veins in their bodies, but only the elder can really manipulate the immortal arts.
It's just that the elders don't appear in the stockade on weekdays, but on the Dawei Mountain behind the stockade, escaping and cultivating.
When encountering something that he couldn't decide, Zhu Ruye could only ask for the elder's decision.
When he arrived at the elder's retreat, Zhu Ruye asked his subordinates to look at the two young men who had been tied, and straightened their clothes, and then carefully asked for instructions on the luggage of a natural mountain gate.
"If there is something to do at night, I want to see the elders!"
Before the words fell, the mountain gate creaked and flashed a crack in the door, and a little boy poked his head out of it.
"It's Ruye Village Chief, the elder knows that you are coming today, and has asked me to wait at the door for a long time. ”
The mountain gate has always been clean, and the elder actually let the little boy wait for him at the door, which made Zhu Ruye's heart begin to feel uneasy. Fortunately, his judgment was correct, and this stranger who suddenly broke into the village was not a trivial matter for the village.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ruye looked at Lan'er with a disdainful look with loving eyes,
"Alas, this girl, without her mother, has spoiled her. If the elder blames her, he will intercede for her no matter what, so as to save her life. ”
Behind the mountain gate, there is a natural cave, although the rock wall is shady, but not damp, a brazier with a jumping flame is placed in the middle, and the shaking of the flame makes everything in the cave unreal.
Especially the Great Elder, whose entire body was hidden in the darkness.
As the night is far away and falls to the ground, and bows down with reverence,
"Great Elder, there are strangers in the village. Ruye didn't dare to make an assertion, so he specially escorted Yu'er, who had mistakenly introduced this person into the village, to the elder's door and waited for his fate. ”
"Oh? Then throw them into the furnace together. ”
The furnace is an abyss ten miles away from the village, and under the abyss, it can be seen from afar that it is the flame of purgatory, not to mention the flesh and blood of people, it is a thing of gold and jade, if it falls below, it will also be melted instantly by the flame of purgatory there.
"Huh?" Zhu Ruye was so frightened that he froze for a while, he didn't expect the Great Elder to cut off Yu'er's way of life so decisively.
"Elder, it was my godson who had no way to cause Yu'er to be ignorant and make such a big mistake, this is a sin, please allow me to accept the guilt on Yu'er's behalf. ”
"Alright, then the three of you will fall into the Purgatory Cliff together. It's good to break the crisis of the village. ”
Zhu Ruye heard the order of the great elder, and his heart suddenly became like stagnant water, it seems that the elder's mind has been decided, and he must eliminate the evil of those involved in this matter. Thinking about it, the peace in the village has been maintained for I don't know how many years, and what can keep this peace is all by staying away from those wicked people and ghosts in Kyushu.
After some entanglement, Zhu Ruye really couldn't think of a reason to beg for mercy, and it might not be a bad thing to think that he could accompany the pearl in his palm.
"Okay, thank you, Elder. Zhu Ruye gritted his teeth and responded to the elder's arrangement, turned around and prepared to retreat.
Suddenly, a rebuke came from the darkness,
"Bastard, haven't you had enough!"
Another Great Elder's voice came from the side hole on the side, and as a small candle flame flickered, a wrinkled withered face gradually flashed.
The sound of Zhu Ruye jumping off the furnace cliff with Yu'er suddenly changed its flavor and became a slightly immature young man's voice,
"Master, don't blame, I'm not joking with the village chief?"
After hearing this voice clearly, Zhu Ruye suddenly hit the fire upwards,
"It's Cedar, a little rabbit cub, I didn't expect him to learn the voice of the elder so similarly, and he actually deceived himself. ”
"Great Elder, who let Ruye be so selfish that he didn't even let Senior Sister Yu'er practice with you. I'm just kidding him. ”
Cedar was dressed in black, and just now she was hidden in the darkness. It is also reasonable to imitate the Great Elder with a vivid voice and be deceived.
Cedar was also a clever young man, and while making excuses for himself, he cautiously stepped forward to take the elder's arm and took the candlestick from the elder's hand with a flame the size of a bean.
"Cedar, you guys go out first, I still have important matters to discuss with the village chief of Ruye. ”
Obviously, the Great Elder had more important things, and he had no intention of pursuing Cedar's stubborn behavior just now.
Cedar took advantage of the situation, beckoned the doorman who led the way, and slipped out as if he were fleeing.
Silence fell in the cave again.
Outside the mountain gate, Cedar saw Yu'er who was tied up by five flowers, and was immediately furious, "You guys, why did you still tie up my junior sister, aren't you afraid that my master will be angry and throw you into the furnace cliff?"
Several villagers looked at each other, knowing that the young man in front of him was the great elder's beloved disciple, and he couldn't afford to offend, but he didn't have Zhu Ruye's instructions, so he didn't dare to let people go privately.
"Elder Cedar, don't blame us subordinates, we are also on the orders of the village chief. Besides, Yu'er is the lifeblood of the village chief, and we believe that the village chief will not punish her for Yu'er's unintentional actions. ”
Although Cedar is young, because he is the apprentice of the Great Elder, his status in the village is not inferior to Zhu Ruye, seeing that his junior sister is tied up, he doesn't talk nonsense, and he stepped forward and cut the rope on Yu'er's body.
It's just that Yu'er didn't appreciate it, "I made a mistake and was disciplined by Ah Da, so I don't bother you." ”
Cedar didn't care, but turned to look at the young man behind Yu'er who was also tied up with five flowers,
"Hey, this is the stranger who dared to break into our village. ”
......
In the cave, only the Great Elder and Zhu Ruye remained. The elder slowly took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve that had been preserved for an unknown number of years, and the elder's hand was trembling slightly, for fear that it would be broken, this tense atmosphere made Zhu Ruye, who was already uneasy, even more nervous.
It wasn't until the end that the Great Elder muttered in an old voice,
"Ruye, I have understood the purpose of your coming, and the bamboo slips handed down from the ancestors have already mentioned this matter. ”
The Great Elder paused, and seemed to be still reciting the bamboo slips, but in fact, these words had already been familiar to him.
"My descendants, wait for the heavenly opportunity, the fairy veins are continuous, the fairy spirits are not dry, the south comes to the alien star, summon my ancestral soul ......"
"What? Does this mean that our ancestors knew for a long time that strangers would break into our village?"
"It's more than that. The Great Patriarch sighed, "The arrival of the stranger means that the catastrophe is coming, and our people cannot be left alone in this catastrophe." ”
The so-called catastrophe, no one can predict the outcome. It's just that according to legend, when the heavenly tribulation descends into the world, there will be heavenly demons reappearing in the world, but fortunately, there is a heavenly purple micro arch guard, and the seven stars in the world appear in the world to resist the heavenly demons.
This small Zhujia village needs to help strangers who have strayed into this place and fulfill their mission passed down from their ancestors.
"What is our mission?" Zhu Ruye felt heavy, and he couldn't imagine that what this precious daughter brought to the village was not only a lost foreigner, but also a heavenly arrangement related to the life and death of the village.
The Great Elder pondered for a long time, but could not answer, but only asked rhetorically,
"Have you interrogated the stranger about what he came to us for?"
The stranger who is in a state of confusion is quietly waiting for his fate outside the mountain gate at the moment, this is the legendary Far North, then there should be a way to find reincarnation and rebirth here.
With his hands tied behind his back, Xiang Bei couldn't move, but he didn't intend to struggle, he just wanted to have a chance to find the steward here, and he asked for the method of rebirth no matter what.
The lock spirit jade that was close to his heart seemed to have felt Xiang Bei's excitement, and with the violent beating of that heart, it became warmer and warmer......
(The catastrophe is coming, the war can be expected, but there are few officials, and the code word skill giaogiao, after the retreat and practice of Liangzai, the skill will be greatly increased, continue to tell this story...... )
