Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Pinggu Falling Star Incident
Inside the Shaw Mansion.
Elder Xiao Chen was sitting in his tea room, the door of the tea room was wide open, and it was pouring rain outside.
Elder Xiao Chen took a sip of tea with an indifferent expression while looking at the rain scene outside the door. Strings of rain drip down from the eaves of the tea room, making a "ticking" sound.
Elder Xiao Chen listened to the ticking sound and waited there quietly.
Although the rain outside was so heavy, he knew in his heart that the rain could not stop the young man's way.
Sure enough, it didn't take much time for someone to report that there was a young man outside the door who said that he was looking for Elder Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen ordered the young man to be let in.
It was Long Yun who walked in, and he was taken straight to the tea room by the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion.
As soon as Long Yun entered the tearoom, he saw Elder Xiao Chen holding it there, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute Elder Xiao Chen:
"Long Yun paid a visit to Elder Xiao Chen. ”
Xiao Chen carefully looked at Long Yun in front of him and motioned for him to sit down.
Long Yun respectfully sat opposite Elder Xiao Chen.
Seeing Long Yun sit down, Elder Xiao Chen said:
"If I'm not mistaken, you'll be sixteen in two months. ”
Long Yun was very surprised when he heard this, and replied, "Exactly, I am fifteen years old this year, and I will be sixteen in two months. ”
Elder Xiao Chen sighed and said, "When you were born, your father was very happy and ordered someone to send me a letter to tell me the good news, and asked me what name I should give my child.
Speaking of the name 'Longyun', I still gave you the name, Longyou Skyrim, soaring clouds, this is the hope that you will be able to rise to the top in the future.
But I never thought that you have been so bumpy in your life since you were a child, and it must have been not easy for you all these years. ”
Hearing Elder Xiao Chen's words, Long Yun's eyes turned red, he didn't expect that in addition to his grandmother and Long Yao in this world, there was still someone in the distant Linyuan City who remembered the day he was born.
"I didn't expect Elder Xiao Chen to remember my birth, and I didn't expect that my name was related to Elder Xiao Chen, thank you Elder Xiao for giving me the name, I like this name very much. After my father died, it was not easy for me, especially after my mother died. It's even harder. Not because of anything else, because the heart always hurts. At this time, Long Yun revealed his heart to Elder Xiao Chen.
Elder Xiao Chen's face was slightly surprised at this time, and he said, "Did your mother also pass away?"
Long Yun said: "When I was eleven years old, my mother died. ”
Elder Xiao Chen said, "Since your father left, I haven't heard from you, it's because I was negligent, I didn't expect your mother to go so early." ”
Long Yun said: "Elder Xiao doesn't have to blame himself, originally Elder Xiao and us are not related, but he has a master-apprentice relationship with my father, and after my father goes, it is normal not to get news of us." ”
Elder Xiao said, "Why did you come to join this 'Beast Hunting Alliance'?"
Long Yun said: "I have to join the reason, it's a long story, in short, it is to prevent my grandmother from being 'sacrificed' to come here." ”
Elder Xiao Chen said, "I see, did you come today to ask about your father?"
Long Yun said: "Yes, I want to know how my father died back then, and what did he go through after more than a year on that mission?"
Elder Xiao Chen was silent for a moment, looked at the long rain outside the door, and let out a long sigh. Said:
"It's a long story.
In the three hundred and sixty years of Tianqi, a huge red fireball fell from the sky, illuminating the sky, and people within a radius of 100 miles were so illuminated by the light that they couldn't see and couldn't open their eyes. We call it the "Pinggu Falling Star Event"
After the fireball landed, there was a huge explosion, and the huge sound shook the earth, and people within dozens of miles felt the aftermath of the tremor.
As soon as the fireball fell, the strange beasts in the vicinity moved one after another, wantonly invading the surrounding villages like madness. ”
Long Yun said: "What does this have to do with my father's death?"
Elder Xiao Chen said, "The place where this fireball fell is called 'Yan'er Valley', and it is only thirty miles away from your Long'an Village.
At that time, the headquarters of the Beast Hunter League received a letter from the eagle of the beast hunters near Yan'er Valley, requesting support from the headquarters.
The situation described in the biography is extremely urgent, and if there is no quick support, several nearby villages will be destroyed. However, Linyuan City is four hundred miles away from Yan'er Valley, and it will take at least a few days to go to support, so it is not in a hurry.
Therefore, at that time, the leader of the alliance sent a letter to the orc hunters in several surrounding villages, ordering them to rush to the aid and investigate the "Yan'er Valley Anomaly". The four orcs of your Long'an Village are among them. And your father was the highest-ranking orc hunter in the nearby village, so there were a dozen orc hunters in total, all under your father's command. ”
Long Yun said: "Elder Xiao, are you saying that my father died while fighting these strange beasts? That's not right, my father only came back a year later, this battle won't last a whole year, right?"
Elder Xiao Chen said:
"It's not that simple, listen to me slowly. ”
Hearing this, Long Yun stopped talking and listened to Elder Xiao Chen's slow words.
"It was the third day when we got there, and the villages around there were almost destroyed, and the beasts had all been slaughtered and scattered.
But we didn't see your father or the orc hunters who came to your aid. After inquiring, I learned that your father went to Yan'er Valley to investigate the details of the anomaly. Our group went to Yan'er Valley.
As soon as we arrived at Yan'er Valley, we were shocked by what we saw!"
When he said this, Xiao Chen's elder showed a trace of nervousness and horror on his face.
Seeing that Elder Xiao Chen, a man who had lived for nearly a hundred years, still had such an expression on his face, Long Yun became even more curious, and asked, "Elder Xiao, what did you see in Yan'er Valley?"
Elder Xiao Chen stared blankly at the rain outside the house, as if he was recalling something, and continued to preach while recalling:
"We saw a huge dome covering the area of more than 100 meters in Yan'er Valley, and the dome was very special.
The surface of the dome shone with a faint blue glow, and it shrouded it like a small sky. It isolates everything inside, and nothing inside is visible from the outside.
The dome was formless and formless, and I could easily penetrate it with my hand, but when I put my hand inside, it felt like I was putting my hand into the water, and it felt cold and resistant. But when I retracted my hand, it was dry again. ”
Hearing this, Long Yunleng paused for a moment before he reacted, shocked, as if he had heard it wrong, and repeated:
"Elder Xiao, are you saying that the entire Yan'er Valley is shrouded in a dome like the sky?"
