Chapter 117: Resisting the Heavenly Tribulation
Huo Yu looked at Tianqin in absolute space in shock, and she suddenly realized that she had underestimated this newly-recognized sister before, although she couldn't feel what was happening in her absolute space, but judging from the nine colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple, black, and white that flowed, the absolute space was like a huge bomb that could explode at any time. What Lyra is doing now is to compress the bomb infinitely, in order to achieve greater power. Her approach seemed to be the same as the sea dragon's response to the first catastrophe.
Tianqin Qin's cultivation is already very close to the realm of the Eight Turns Scattered Immortals, although her immortal weapons are not as many as the sea dragon, but her cognition and understanding of the Nine Immortal Qin is stronger than any of the sea dragon's own immortal weapons, even if the sea dragon wants to defeat her, it is by no means easy, and she must pay a great price. With the improvement of cultivation, Tianqin has a deeper understanding of the application of the Nine Immortal Qin, in order to deal with the mixed heavenly tribulation, she came up with this method, the nine strings play nine kinds of spring music at the same time, and the nine kinds of mana with completely different emotions are constantly entangled with each other, and the absolute space is gradually expanded by this energy, Tianqin has almost reached the limit of her control, but she still did not stop, let the clothes on her body gradually be crushed by the powerful mana, and always insisted.
The two-color calamity in the sky seemed to have dropped, and the pressure was subdued, completely concentrated in the hundreds of square kilometers centered on the sea dragon and the Lyra. The surrounding plants have long been turned into powder under the pressure of the Tribulation, and the land has lost all life, only the various energies full of death are constantly intertwined. The blue clouds and the red clouds seem to be angry at the sea dragon's teasing. The two clouds suddenly separated, and then slammed into each other. It swirled like a vortex, and strange flashes of electricity continued to shine around the swirling clouds. The thunder was gone, but the fear grew. In the rapid rotation of the clouds, a huge red and blue ball of light gradually formed at the tip of the vortex, the diameter of the ball of light was more than ten meters, and it was still growing.
At this time, Tianqin moved, and the ten fingers swept over the nine-colored strings at the same time, and with a loud buzz, a circular exit suddenly appeared at the top of the absolute space, and the already extremely tyrannical sonic energy suddenly came out from this vent, condensing into a nine-color entangled pillar of light, and suddenly shot towards the ball of light formed by the clouds. At this time, the light ball of the third mixed heavenly tribulation had just formed, and the two groups of energy collided violently. It was as if the heavens and the earth had come to a standstill, and the blinding light caused both Fire and Lyra to temporarily lose their vision, and there was no roar, only a huge shock wave.
In the blinding light, a roar rang out. The blazing red light stood out, and it was the fire that came out of it. The moment the shockwave was formed, she had already rushed to Tianqin's position with her memory, picked up her body and flew to the sea dragon's side like lightning, and the most powerful fire power, the Qilin Holy Flame broke out instantly, and the incomparably powerful scorching heat incinerated the air, forming a layer of vacuum prohibition in mid-air, resisting the wrath of all shockwaves.
Lyra snorted. A mouthful of blood spurted out, the powerful attack just now had reached the limit of what she could withstand, and her body was not as strong as the sea dragon, and it had already been shocked.
Huo Yu said in a deep voice: "Sister Tianqin, you hurry up and heal your wounds, the fourth heavenly tribulation is blocked by me and the sea dragon." Tianqin nodded a little weakly, and used the limited time to quickly treat the injuries in his body with the Nine Immortals in his arms. The sea dragon's eyes widened, and he didn't look at Lyra. At this time, his mana had been evenly adjusted, and he flew up under the protection of the Extreme Xuan Cold Ice Shield and Yan Xuan Shield, and the clouds in the air seemed to be weakened a little bit compared to before, and there was no movement at this time, the sea dragon transferred his mind to his chest, and a layer of silver light placed a third layer of defensive prohibition in the Yan Xuan Shield and the Yan Xuan Cold Ice Shield. The muscles in his right arm began to grow rapidly, tearing through the clothes on his body, revealing tattooed pieces of steely muscles. Purple air swirls around the arm. Lyra's injury has completely aroused the stubborn anger in the sea dragon's heart. He was determined that no matter what, he would never let Lyra get any more harm to him.
The fire flew to the sea dragon's side. His hands turned into claws, forming a strange handprint, he glanced at the sea dragon and said, "Be careful, I'll help you, the fourth heavenly tribulation should not be as sensitive and powerful, but according to the memory left by my mother, this should be a large-scale thunderstorm, let's unite to protect Sister Tianqin, don't carry it hard."
The sea dragon nodded, his strong right arm waved lightly in the air, a layer of purple scales actually drilled out of the skin, quickly covering his arm, the five fingers quickly lengthened, and under the wrapping of the scales, the tip grew a tax claw. Huo Yu said in surprise: "You are the power of the Central Purple Qi Mixed Yuan, do you have anything to do with the Immortal Emperor?"
The sea dragon took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I have nothing to do with the Immortal Emperor, I just accidentally got a treasure from him." Let's go down to the top of Lyra. With that, he flew to the top of Lyra's head first. The right claw was wide, and in the palm of his hand, a purple ball of light slowly formed, and within ten centimeters around the purple ball of light, the air was completely distorted, although the ball of light was not big, but the mana it contained was terrifying. Huoyu flew to the sea dragon's side, her arms shook, the original energy transformation dress disappeared, revealing a toned and delicate body, a layer of fine scales gradually condensed, covering her body, her hands also grew huge claws similar to sea dragons, ten fingers staggered over her head, palms facing the sky, her whole body was straight, a flame suddenly rose from under her feet, and her eyes had turned fiery red.
The clouds in the sky finally began to change again, the blue clouds and the red clouds suddenly separated, the thunder in the rolling clouds made a deafening roar, suddenly, a blue lightning bolt fell first, and then, a red lightning bolt also appeared without showing weakness. The sea dragon fluttered slightly, whether it was the blue lightning or the red lightning, its power was only the power of the first weight of the ordinary Heavenly Tribulation. Stretching out his right arm, which had become extremely thick, he punched out, and the purple qi soared into the air, instantly deflecting the first blue lightning bolt. It flew to the side and hit the ground. The fire and the sea dragon cooperated very well, using the Qilin Holy Flame that had been completely improved, it was also punched out, and the fiery red mana drew a graceful arc, and the red heavenly thunder was also struck aside from the side and exploded on the ground. However, the Fourth Mixed Heavenly Tribulation was obviously not so easy to deal with, almost at the moment when the red lightning disappeared, another blue lightning had already flown out, and the sea dragon only felt that the dragon arm of his right arm was full of energy at this time, and without any hesitation, he swung his fist again and shook the blue heavenly thunder away. Just when he thought he could take a breather, another blue sky thunder slammed down, and in desperation, the sea dragon had to deflect the Yanyan shield in his left hand and take this sky thunder from the side, taking half of the attack hard, and leading the other half of the attack to the side.
The same situation also appeared in Huoyun, she was also attacked by a red thunderbolt one after another, but her ** was really strong, relying on the strength of her hands to completely lead the two heavenly thunders aside, after the thunder was led away, Huoqiu quickly approached the sea dragon, and shouted: "Quick, grab my hand." ”
The sea dragon froze for a moment before grabbing Huohuo's left hand. At this time, six heavenly thunders fell in the sky at the same time, three blue and three red. The power suddenly increased to a new level. A hot force passed into the bottom of the sea dragon's heart, and he clearly felt that he didn't know what was being mobilized by this heat in his heart. The huge heat energy shook his whole body, and the clothes on his body could no longer withstand the agitation of energy and turned to ashes, revealing his strong physique. Under the influence of that heat, the scales on the sea dragon's right arm spread rapidly, and in an instant, he was covered with dark purple scales like a fire stream, but his left arm was not as solid and thick as his right arm.
The thunder has arrived. The sea dragon roared, he only felt as if he had inexhaustible power in his body, and a huge amount of energy continued to gush out of Long Xiang's arm, nourishing his body and looking up to the sky, the silver sun on his chest suddenly brightened, and the silver light rose up under the purple qi, and went straight to the thunder in the air to meet it.
Huo Yu let go of the sea dragon's hand, and with a strange twist of the small mouth of the delicate body, a flame erupted out. The seemingly ordinary flame, as soon as it came into contact with the six thunderbolts, completely incinerated the first three, two blue and one red. It can burn the heavenly thunder, and you can see the power of the unicorn flame. The sea dragon's silver energy had also risen to the front, and he used his force to attract the remaining heavenly tribulation to the side, the mixed heavenly tribulation brought him some trouble, and his whole body trembled slightly, but fortunately, there were three layers of powerful defensive prohibitions on his body, which controlled his body and was not shaken.
After the three waves of attacks, the two-colored clouds in the sky seemed to be crazy, and one after another red and blue lightning continued to fall, shooting in the direction of the sea dragon and the fire stream. Huo Yu showed strong strength, and with the power of one person, she actually took eighty percent of the attack, whether it was carried hard with **, or melted with the holy fire, she seemed so handy, without a trace of reluctance. The remaining two percent of the attack was nothing to the sea dragon, and he waved his right arm continuously, luring aside the fish that had slipped through the net after the fire was resisted, and it didn't cost too much mana.
I don't know how long it took, but after seven two-color thunderbolts bombarded one after another, the clouds in the sky finally calmed down. Huo Yu gasped a little heavily, and the sea dragon clearly saw the ups and downs of her chest, obviously taking over most of the fourth mixed heavenly tribulation just now, which had consumed a lot of her mana, and asked with concern: "Sister Huo Yun, are you okay?"
Huo Yu nodded and said, "I'm nothing, hey, I really hurt you this time, I really didn't expect the power of this mixed heavenly tribulation to be so terrifying." You may not know that this fourth Heavenly Tribulation just now already has the power of an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation close to the eighth level. The Heavenly Tribulation will definitely be stronger in the future, and now I doubt that the three of us will be able to survive the sixth level.
Hailong only felt that his whole body was full of strength at this time, and said confidently: "Eldest sister, you don't have to complain about yourself, we will definitely be able to do it." Don't forget, the three of us all have the strength close to that of the Great Luo Golden Immortal! Let's hurry up and breathe, and I'll be in charge of the Fifth Heavenly Tribulation later. Huoyun nodded and said, "It's useless to regret it now, you can only go all out." ”
The two of them landed beside Lyra, breathing as they watched the clouds change in the air. With Lyra as the center, the surrounding ground is already full of barrage, and as far as the eye can see, there are huge deep pits everywhere. Huo Yu said: "Sea Dragon, the central purple qi in your right arm is the purest mixed yuan qi, just now I have used my own strength to help you trigger it, when you are in the calamity, you must make good use of this power." According to my estimation, the Fifth Mixed Heavenly Tribulation should be composed entirely of lightning strikes as powerful as the Second Heavenly Tribulation, and it is a dense attack, try to direct them aside, and everything else is up to me. "The sea dragon felt a pang in his heart, if he followed what Huo Yu said, the power of the Fifth Heavenly Movement would be at least more than double that of the Fourth Heavenly Movement.
The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, the two clouds are entangled again, the sea dragon's chest is stuffy for a while, the power of the gods in his body is already weaker than at the beginning, but because the mana in the dragon Xiang's arm is attracted by the fire, so at this time he has reached the best state, the dragon Xiang's arm shook, the Qianjun stick fell into his claws, the sea dragon glanced at the fire beside him, and suddenly made a move that surprised the fire dragon, he did not continue to breathe, but rose into the air, the Qianjun stick in his hand expanded rapidly, shouted angrily, held the rod with both hands, raised it back, and the power of the god instantly condensed into the Qianjun stickIn the center of the indestructible stick, under the urging of mana, two dark golden characters appeared, and for a while, everything in the sky seemed to move with the Qianjun stick, and the sea dragon shouted angrily: "Destroy." Qian-Kun--One-Throw-" The Qianjun rod in his hand was like a windmill under his drive, and in the next week, the body of the rod suddenly increased ten times as much as before, and with the mana of the sea dragon strengthened by the dragon arm, it was rounded, and it blasted towards the two-color calamity clouds in the sky.
To make this bold move, the sea dragon had already premeditated, he had successively passed through the Heavenly Dao Venerable, the ethereal, and the first four mixed heavenly tribulations he had just made, and found that although the Heavenly Tribulation was powerful, the advent of each Heavenly Tribulation would inevitably go through a period of condensation. His bold move was to destroy the Cloud Tribulation Condensation Mana. The body at the tip of the Qianjun rod, with a diameter of tens of meters, with a dazzling golden light and infinite domineering aura, suddenly cut into the clouds. Since there was a cultivator to survive the tribulation, this was the first time that someone dared to shake the tribulation cloud head-on with such an all-out force. The immortals and the heavenly monarchs of the underworld who were hidden behind the clouds couldn't help but be stunned, and in their work of the gods, the thousand rods had already been stirred into the clouds.
The body of the sea dragon in mid-air trembled violently as if it had been struck by lightning, the black hair on his head stood on end, and the clouds in the air were actually split in two by his stick, and countless thunderbolts flew down at the same time, shooting towards the sea dragon in mid-air, but the power of these thunderbolts was only similar to the power of the thunderbolts during the previous fourth mixed heavenly tribulation.
The sea dragon has come to his senses after a shock to his whole body, and the biggest advantage of this move is that after using this move, the body will not stagnate, and the Qianjun rod will produce a huge return force from huge to small, enriching the user's body so that he can attack continuously. Of course, this can only be achieved if the user can fully grasp the mystery of this formula. And at this time, the sea dragon happened to have that ability, after his body was paralyzed by the thunder power from the clouds, he immediately recovered, seeing the heavenly thunder rushing in his face, he was not surprised, he knew that his previous actions had been successful. Without any hesitation, his body suddenly floated down, and at the same time, he also used the most powerful move in the Qianjun stick method he had mastered.
"Thunderbolt--three-hit-. Every time the sea dragon said a word, the Qianjun rod in his hand changed into a different golden light. The main reason why Thunderbolt Triple Strike is the most powerful form of the Qianjun stick method he has mastered so far is that it is not a single attack, but a continuous use of three moves at the same time. These three moves are Qianjun Cheng Yuyu, talking and laughing and retreating from the heavenly soldiers, and hanging the old Jun furnace upside down. Single use, these three moves are already powerful attacks, used at the same time, its power is not as simple as one plus one equals two, in the Qianjun stick method, only this move combo, three consecutive attacks, the most important thing is the connection and uninterrupted in the middle. If the sea dragon is facing an enemy at this time, then. The continuous attacks of these three moves are enough to overwhelm the opponent, and the powerful attack power recovery can tear everything apart. The golden light is clear, convergent, and convergent, and the sea dragon has used the Qianjun rod to the point of being superb. Thousands of golden rays of light greeted countless heavenly thunders, under the guidance of the golden light, the result of the heavenly thunder could only be led in all directions, the sea dragon stepped on a leisurely trip, with the strength of the body and super defense, even if there were occasionally one or two heavenly thunderbolts on him, it would not affect his actions.
Huo Yu looked at the sea dragon in the air dumbfounded, she never thought that the sea dragon could use such a method to deal with the bombardment of the heavenly thunder. This can no longer be described as wonderful.
Finally, under the great display of the sea dragon's divine might, the fifth hybrid heavenly tribulation did not exert its due power at all, and was resisted in such a suffocated manner. The sea dragon flew to the ground. The red light flashed in Huoqiu's eyes, and he was just about to fly into the air to learn the image of the sea dragon to stir up the confidant and rob the clouds, but he was stopped by the sea dragon, the sea dragon's face was extremely pale, and he gasped: "Don't go, those heavenly monarchs in the sky are all old and mature, the same opportunity, will definitely not be given a second time, prepare, the three of us will meet the sixth heavenly tribulation together, as long as this heavenly tribulation passes, at least you and Tianqin will be safe." After saying this, Hailong's face changed, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and with a wow, he spurted out a mouthful of blood. Although the previous attack was only equivalent to the fourth hybrid tribulation, the sea dragon was able to deal with it alone after all. It contains his intelligence, strength, and on-the-spot reactions, and he has improved his abilities to the limit, and the mental overdraft has made him a little unable to support it at this time.
Firewater grabbed the sea dragon's right paw with his backhand. Another stream of pure holy fire power was fed into the sea dragon's supreme yang body, and for the sea dragon, this mana like charcoal in the snow was too important. Under the effect of the pure mixed yuan qi emanating from Long Xiang's arm, his face suddenly looked much better, and he didn't dare to delay a little time, so he hurriedly breathed quickly.
The clouds in the air were rushing and rolling, and they had been torn in half by the sea dragon and had re-condensed together, and the clouds were rolling, and the deafening thunder was like an angry roar. The power of the sixth level of mixed heavenly tribulation will definitely not be below the ninth level of ordinary heavenly tribulation. Whether it was the Heavenly Monarch of the Underworld or the Immortal Realm, they all seemed to be angry, and the red and blue clouds suddenly gathered and contracted. After a while, the area was only one-third the size of its previous size, but as they became smaller, the ground became flattened, because the whole ground had dropped to the same depth as the crater that had been blasted out by the thunderbolt. The two clouds suddenly turned into two huge clusters of light, and the clusters of light began to squeeze each other, and gradually, they quickly rotated around each other. The pressure in the sky grew stronger, forcing the sea dragon to crouch down and hug Lyra, using his mana to resist the pressure from the air. At this moment, the Yan Xuan Shield on his arm suddenly changed, and without any warning, the Yan Xuan Shield transformed itself into a space about five meters in diameter, surrounding the three of Sea Dragon, Tianqin, and Huohu.
The sea dragon looked at each other in surprise, the space created by the Yan Xuan Shield was like the absolute space he used, completely isolating the outside world, and the pressure could no longer affect them. Without bothering to analyze the reason, taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the sea dragon and the fire dragon hurriedly urged the mana in their bodies to gather up, hoping to recover more mana.
The two-color ball of light in the air was rotating rapidly, as if it had been fused into one, and a crystal pearl like a gem was separated from the rotating light cluster, the volume of this bead was not large, it seemed to be only the size of the treasure Tianshi Daozun, but it was this inconspicuous transparent bead. But it brought great shock to the sea dragon, Lyra, and fire. Tianqin woke up from the healing, although it was not for a long time, the shock injury in her body had been temporarily suppressed, and Huo Yu lost her voice and said: "This, this seems to be the Nine Turns Thunder Tribulation Bead, if this thing appears in the sixth turn, if it really comes to the Nine Turns Mixed Heavenly Tribulation, what will happen? This, this is also too terrifying." Sea Dragon, the three of us work together, we must not let that bead explode to the ground, otherwise, we will inevitably be crushed to pieces, and the defense of any immortal weapon will not be able to stop the bombardment of the Nine Turns Thunder Tribulation Bead. ”
As he spoke, the fire dragon's figure flashed, and he had already come behind the sea dragon, the scales on his hand disappeared, and he turned into a human hand and pressed the back of the sea dragon, and the powerful fire energy suddenly entered along the sea dragon spirit platform, and the Di Dan in his body continued to exude more powerful mana, with the help of the fire dragon. The sea dragon only felt that his whole body was hot, and the strength in his body was full of strength, and he glanced at Tianqin, who immediately understood what she meant, turned his back and rushed at Hailong, and at the same time put the Nine Immortals on his knees. The light flowed, and the sea dragon took a deep breath, and instantly forced the divine power in his body towards his chest. He and Lyra's mana are compatible, and only through the connection of the Yin and Yang Reverse Heaven Treasure Mirror can the mana be transformed into Lyra.
The silver light suddenly brightened, the silver sun on the sea dragon's chest seemed to come to life, the symbols around the sun emerged, floating in front of the sea dragon, under the urging of the sea dragon, the silver symbols surrounded the sun, and a pure silver energy shot into the back of Lyra in a column, and those silver symbols also flowed into Lyra's body at the same time with the columnar mana.
Lyra's whole body shook violently, and the silver light suddenly flourished, and the silver hair flew in the mana. Tianqin's arms were naturally opened, at this time, she was like a female god, the power of the Yin and Yang Anti-Heaven Treasure Mirror was completely unleashed, at this moment, Tianqin, who had accepted all the mana of the sea dragon and the fire water, its cultivation was strong and had surpassed the realm of Da Luo Jinxian, gently, her right hand was on the Nine Immortal Qin, and her palm was covered with the nine-colored strings at the same time. At this time, Lyra looked at the sky with a faint smile on her pretty face. She was originally one with the Nine Immortals, and she was powerful. The Nine Immortals gradually changed, the amber body completely turned silver, and even the nine strings were surrounded by a faint silver light. "The nine strings move in unison, and the sky falls. Nine Immortals, let out your greatest power. With her right hand lightly, she actually grabbed the nine strings at the same time, and slowly pulled it back without effort, and the whole Nine Immortals made a buzzing sound as if she was shouting excitedly.
The Nine Turns of Thunder Tribulation Beads in the sky had been fully formed, detached from the rapidly rotating light cluster, and slowly floated downward. Tianqin glanced at his Nine Immortal Qin gently, the divine light in his eyes flowed, and he said word by word: "Nine-string-Qi-to-fall-sky-wave-." With his right hand back, he pulled the strings to the maximum extent, and with his left hand, he pressed the body close to his side, and the Nine Immortals suddenly rose horizontally, and at the same time, Tianqin's right hand was released. As if the nine pieces of music of Neon Dress, Jin Ge, Round Dance, Killing, Fuyao, Netherworld, Sophistry, Silence, and Skyfall sounded at the same time, the sky was full of pleasant sounds, and a thin wave of silver light floated up, which seemed to be extremely slow, but in just a few blinks of an eye, it had already come to the bottom of the Nine Turns Thunder Tribulation Pearl.
The Nine Turns of the Thunder Tribulation Bead plunged into the arms of the Nine Strings Falling Sky Wave like a bird falling into the forest.
Just as Lyra was about to urge his mana to resist the impending devastating shockwave, the sky suddenly changed, and more than a dozen unseen figures appeared around the Nine Turns Thunder Tribulation Bead wrapped in the Nine-String Meteorite Wave at the same time, and the dozen or so rays of light opened different prohibitions. Suddenly, the sky lit up with a sun-like light. The Sea Dragon, Lyra, and Fire Bird closed their eyes at the same time, and the protective shield of the Celestial Mirror unfurled, protecting their bodies inside.
There was no expected impact, they only felt as if they were entering a bottomless abyss, and the surroundings suddenly became dark. The Celestial Mirror let out a piercing screech, as if it had been violently rubbed. At this moment, an eerie voice sounded, "Lyra, after the test of the Sixfold Netherworld, you have opened the door to the Underworld with your own strength, and you are welcome to join. ”
The sea dragon suddenly felt that the Lyra in front of him was detached from his palm, and then, a huge amount of strange yin and evil qi continued to rush towards Lyra frantically.
The sea dragon opened her eyes and looked at Lyra, only to see all kinds of dark gray light flashing on Lyra's body, she looked up to the sky, her arms were outstretched, and her whole body exuded an evil aura, and the persecuted sea dragon could not get close. The sea dragon suddenly realized that this should be the so-called evil qi. Lyra succeeded, and she had already taken over the test of the Sixfold Underworld Tribulation, becoming the first cultivator in Shenzhou to pass the Underworld Tribulation. Lyra's uncontrollable rapid pace attracted the evil energy in the air, and she reluctantly turned around and looked at the sea dragon to say something, but she couldn't.
The sea dragon found that he was in the underground, and he could only look at a small light in the sky, but he didn't know that this was actually the fire that incinerated the ground with the Qilin Holy Fire. In order to avoid being attacked by the aftermath, the fire sucked the sea dragon and Lyra's bodies with mana and descended rapidly, and they came to the depths of the earth like lightning.
The sea dragon and Lyra looked at each other, and the sea dragon knew that under the wrapping of the evil spirit, Lyra could no longer speak at this time, although he was happy for Lyra in his heart, but how he didn't want to leave his wife! Lyra continued to rise gray gas up and down, she smiled at the sea dragon, waved her hand gently, there was only trust in her eyes, she believed that her lover would be able to ascend to the fairy world with great strength, they would inevitably have a goodbye period The sea dragon nodded at Lyra, her right hand touched the silver sun on her left chest, and Lyra also touched her left chest, and the two of them felt a shock all over their bodies at the same time.
"Sea Dragon, take care of yourself, hurry up and recover while Lyra ascends to the Underworld, remember our previous plan, I will go with Lyra. With a flash of red light, the fire had transformed into a ball of light, burrowing into the gray barrier and submerging into Lyra's body, and Lyra's gaze never left the face of the sea dragon. The sea dragon did not obey the will of the fire and immediately cultivated, and he followed behind Lyra and flew up. Now he just wants to see more of his wife's appearance and make the memory in his mind more profound.
