She thought that when the contract was over, she would be eager to return to the place she longed for. However, what she didn't expect was that in the past twenty years, at some point, the things she dreamed of were already out of reach.
Time is like a sharp sword. No matter how deep a memory is, it can be whittled away beyond recognition, and no matter how firm a belief is, it will gradually dissipate over time.
Subtly, deep down in her heart, she had already regarded Falling Star Peak as her destination. No matter how far away it was or how long she had been away, she knew that she would eventually return here. Apart from here, she didn't know where her place would be.
Just when the prophet mentioned that the contract was expired, she was so disappointed.
It seemed that her thoughts were captured by the prophet. The prophet turned back to look at her and said in a magnetic voice, "Of course, the decision is up to you."
The voice was still so indifferent, but Ye Yun heard the lingering sound in it.
"Everything I have is given by the Holy Master, and my life only exists for the Falling Star Peak." After hearing the prophet's words, Yunyan immediately answered firmly.
"The twenty-year contract term is today, right?" the prophet seemed to have remembered something and asked.
Yeyun was silent for a long time, then replied softly, "Yes".
"Perhaps you have forgotten it yourself." The figure of the prophet flickered, but he could never see it clearly. "From the day you signed the contract, I promised to give you twenty years of youth and power beyond mortals.
Now that the contract has expired, you can no longer have such appearance and ability."
"I know"
"Then, why don't you leave? Isn't the mortal world the place you dream of?"
"After I leave here, I don't know where else to go." Yeyun lowered his head and stopped talking.
Yes. The mortal world was once the paradise she dreamed of. However, once was only once after all. How many people in this world can stick to the same dream for twenty years without changing it? Perhaps, there can be an exception for existences like prophets.
However, after all, she was just a mortal for twenty years, and she was as different from the prophet in front of her as clouds and mud, and could never be compared.
The prophet raised his head and looked at the night sky like a bright mirror. Just like every night for many years.
The stars in the night sky are slowly changing their positions. Not only have the stars in the west fallen a lot in recent days, but the stars in the entire night sky are gradually flickering out.
"Then, you can stay. You don't have to sign this contract anymore. You can still have youth and strength." After saying this, the prophet floated towards the end of the hall.
"Holy Master, please stay," Ye Yun seemed to have remembered something and said.
"What's the matter?" The prophet stopped his body from drifting forward.
"That man is still in Tianhuang City at the moment. Should I go and bring him here?" Yeyun was in a panic when she was in Tianhuang City. She actually forgot that the task given to her by the prophet was to bring Leng Yi back. Only now did she think of Leng Yi.
Yi was still lying in the mud.
"Oh? Why didn't you bring him with you in the first place?" The prophet still had a magnetic voice.
"Leng Yi is so disheartened now that he is like a useless person. I can't bear to force him to come back. So..." Ye Yun's voice trailed off.
Speaking of this, the scene before Tianhuang City and Leng Yi parted could not help but reappear in her mind...
The strange man whom she had only met a few times held her face and asked her heart-wrenchingly. It was the moment she had been so close to a man in her life. However, at that time, she actually forgot to dodge and forget.
You should block him when his hand reaches out.
Only then did she realize that his face was actually so handsome, with harmonious and tight outlines. His eyebrows were as sharp as swords, and his eyes were desperate but deep. Even if his face was full of dirt, in such dim light
It is also extremely beautiful below, just like the purple flame flowers that first bloomed in the dark night on Meteoric Peak, pure and soft.
How could this mortal being have such a beautiful face?
She was thinking in a dull manner, so much so that she actually forgot to keep the proper distance from him. At that moment, her heart, which had always been cold and indifferent, suddenly surged into huge waves, which could not calm down for a long time.
It wasn't until his nails pierced into her shoulders and a sharp stinging sensation came that she finally woke up and pushed him away with a palm. However, her mind, which had never been shaken before, was calmed down after seeing this face.
The chaos was so great that she only thought about how to escape from there as quickly as possible and stay as far away from this person as possible. The mission assigned by the prophet was immediately forgotten by her.
When Ye Yun was deep in thought, the prophet's words brought her back to reality from the illusion. She heard the prophet murmur, "Did you see it? The stars have dimmed, and their orbits have shifted. Could it be...
…”
Ye Yun, who was deep in thought, was awakened by the voice of the prophet. She was afraid that the prophet would see through what she had just been thinking. She was at a loss and faltered in her words, "Ah... Holy Master, are you talking about Leng Yi?"
The prophet suddenly turned around and looked at the frightened Ye Yun.
Seeing the prophet looking at her, Ye Yun was startled. After a moment, she whispered softly, "Is the star pointed by the holy master related to Leng Yi?" Because he had been under the powerful barrier of the prophet for a long time, he was completely
Unexpectedly, after the prophet withdrew that pressure, her inner world only belonged to herself.
But the gaze of the prophet still made Yeyun feel uncomfortable. At this moment, she wished she could find a crack to get in. She lowered her head and tried to find something on the blue and white stone slab, but she could not find anyone on the blue and white stone slab.
Something that would make her no longer embarrassed.
"Yes, the movement of that star will disrupt the trajectories of all stars. At that time, all the stars in the entire sky will be in chaos." The prophet ignored her and continued talking, "Not long after, the star will fall.
The stars will be countless.”
"Is that the star corresponding to Leng Yi?" Speaking of Leng Yi, Ye Yun couldn't help but focus his attention, fully expecting the prophet to reveal more information about Leng Yi.
However, the prophet fell silent and stopped talking.
Ye Yun didn't know if he had asked too many questions, so he lowered his head and said nothing.
After a long time, the prophet said again: "The divine light will change the world because of this person. A new era is coming, and the divine light may have a new master." After speaking, the prophet floated towards the night cloud, still with a magnetic look.
The voice asked: "Do you know why I asked you to save him at this time?"
Even though this hall is no longer as intimidating as it used to be, Ye Yun still couldn't help but take two steps back. "I'll bring him to the Falling Star Peak immediately." After saying this, he turned around and was about to run out.
"No need," the prophet said when Ye Yun was about to turn around, "If he is destined to disturb the people, even if the road ahead is rough, his life will be worry-free."
Ye Yun stopped and looked back at the hazy face. In the past twenty years, the prophet had never spoken so many words to her. Now, for some unknown reason, the prophet became kind and talkative.
It's a different person.
Such a change in the prophet was unexpected by Ye Yun, but she was also greatly flattered. But no matter what the reason, for Ye Yun, this change in the prophet was exactly what she hoped for.
Yeyun thought for a moment, then suddenly his knees sank, he fell to the ground, and begged: "Please allow me to help him, the Holy Master."
"Since it is destiny, you should not interfere easily. If this variable is disturbed by your participation, do you know the consequences of going against the will?" The prophet seemed a little angry, and his magnetic voice became louder.
Ye Yun lowered his eyes. His eyes gradually widened, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, something seemed to have firmed up in his mind. Ye Yun said with difficulty: "Even if I am trapped in the Nine Netherworld Sea and die in hell, I will not regret it."
The prophet seemed to be stunned by Ye Yun's words for a moment, and did not speak for a long time. After a while, he said: "If you want to do this, then even I can't save you."
At this point, the prophet seemed to have remembered something. His body gradually floated towards the skylight on the cliff, and he lowered his head to look at the cliff below him. The cliff was cut like a giant knife, and it was submerged into the bottomless clouds under the Falling Star Peak. It was pure white.
The starlight poured down from the sky layer by layer like a real substance, shining on the cliff. The Meteor Star Peak, which had never been cloudy and rainy, seemed to have an extra layer of fog at this moment. Even the hall where Ye Yun was located was much hazier than before.
After a moment of silence, the prophet sighed: "Do you still remember the people I killed in Manyu Valley twenty years ago?"
Ye Yun didn't know why the prophet mentioned this, but she should have guessed it after thinking about it. That person should be somewhat related to her current situation.
When facing the prophet, Ye Yun never concealed anything, "Remember, I met the Holy Master in Manyu Valley, and then arrived here with the Holy Master."
"After so many years, you still remember it so clearly and so well." The prophet seemed to smile, but his laughter still had a magnetic tone. I don't know if he really smiled.
Suddenly, the prophet's loose robe automatically moved without any wind, and his sleeves were lifted up by spiritual power. "You were also present at that time. Did you hear the conversation between me and her?"
Ye Yun only felt that the overwhelming and irresistible pressure from before came down again like a torrent, rushing towards her. Ye Yun was hit hard in an instant, and her internal organs and lungs seemed to be separated from her entire body and shattered in the torrent.
into powder.
However, in just a moment, the pressure quickly receded like a tide and disappeared without a trace. Like a dream, that scene seemed to have never happened, but the sweat beads on Ye Yun's face were still dripping down.
dripping.
"Do you know why I want to kill this person?" The prophet was as calm as the stars in the night sky, and there was no ripple in the ancient well.
"Ye Yun doesn't know." Ye Yun, who was kneeling on the blue and white stone slab, continued to breathe heavily, but she tried her best to prevent her voice from becoming trembling.
The prophet floated in front of Ye Yun with his broad sleeves on his back and said: "Because, like you now, she deviates from God's will."
Ye Yun looked up at that blurry face. What kind of face was hidden there? Just like in Manyu Valley twenty years ago, there was always a layer of fog covering the neck that could not be dispersed, making it difficult to see.
Clear, it has been this way for twenty years.
Needless to say, the power of the prophet was able to grant her infinite youth and power beyond mortals. In Ye Yun's heart, the prophet was like a god coexisting in heaven and earth, whom people looked up to.
Ye Yun looked at the figure wrapped in a wide robe, and the scene in Manyu Valley twenty years ago gradually appeared in his mind.
Manyu Valley is located on the northern border of Ziwu Kingdom. This valley has birds chirping and flowers fragrant during the day, and there are numerous exotic flowers and plants, as well as birds and animals. Such a majestic scenery is not an exaggeration to call it a fairyland.
What fascinates the world the most about Manyu Valley is that there is a strange flower growing in the valley, called Zining flower. This flower is known as the most beautiful flower species in the entire Ziwu Kingdom.
However, every time night falls in this valley, there will be strong winds, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling will spread for ten miles, and everyone within a radius of dozens of miles will become frightened. Several nearby hunters once went to this valley to hunt, and the result was that a few days later
. was just discovered outside Manyu Valley, but the hunters had turned into cold corpses. Only white skeletons were left on the corpses, with almost no flesh and blood on them. Apart from the clothes, their identities could be identified, and they were the same as those in the thousand-year-old tomb.
The bones that crawled out were indistinguishable.
Since then, Manyu Valley has become one of the forbidden places in Ziwu Kingdom. Whenever a child keeps crying, parents will always say to the child, "If you cry again, I will throw you into Manyu Valley." This sentence is popular in Manyu Valley.
After being listed as a forbidden area in the Ziwu Kingdom, it has become a common word to scare children.
Ye Yun lived in Qixi Town, ten miles away from Manyu Valley. The legends of Manyu Valley have been ingrained since she was a child. She had just turned seventeen that year, and she had a pair of watery eyes since she was a child. As she grew older, she became more and more...
She was so beautiful that the people in the neighborhood lost their minds when they looked at her, so many people called her the most beautiful person in Ziwu Kingdom.
A legend has been circulating in the Ziwu Kingdom since ancient times. It is said that only the most beautiful people in the entire Ziwu Kingdom can pick the Purple Ninghua that grows in the Manyu Valley, and only the most beautiful people in the Ziwu Kingdom are qualified to own the Purple Ninghua.
On a stormy evening, she ignored her parents' advice and came to Manyu Valley secretly for no other reason than to pick a blooming purple flower. This would prove whether she was the most beautiful person in the entire Ziwu Kingdom.
.
However, as soon as she entered the valley, the downpour started, soaking everything in the Manyu Valley. It also soaked all her clothes. Because the rain was too heavy, she huddled under a big tree, hoping to borrow some
The branches provided some protection from the wind and rain, but the rain seemed to fall endlessly. Even though the large branches and leaves were extremely dense, it was difficult to block the torrential rain.
Then a strong wind blew, blowing raindrops in the east and west. A seventeen-year-old girl was in such a cold valley, letting the wind blow and the rain hitting her.
Ye Yun looked around, trying to find out if the Zi Ninghua was nearby, but to her disappointment, there was no trace of the Zi Ninghua around. The heavy rain continued to fall. She looked up at the branches, and the sky became darker and darker.
The darkness turned, and she panicked. The fear gradually spread to the bottom of her heart, and all kinds of terrible legends about Manyu Valley couldn't help but come to mind. The more she tried to control herself not to think about it, the more those legends appeared like a shadow and couldn't go away.
The sound of raindrops hitting the soil and the rustling of trees under the strong wind sounded like a demon roaring to my ears at this moment. Ye Yun looked around, feeling more and more frightened in his heart. It seemed like there was something evil lurking around, and it was coming.
Gradually approaching her.
She wanted to escape as soon as possible, but the downpour became heavier and heavier, making it impossible for her to leave the big tree. She even imagined that there might be something hidden in the big tree she was leaning against.
She couldn't stay any longer. Something terrible was coming. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She ignored the raindrops hitting her face like needles and ran out in a panic.
In panic, Yeyun jumped out without even looking. As she jumped out, she turned back to see if there was really something terrible lurking under the tree where she was curled up just now.
Just as she was running out, she suddenly seemed to hit something. Because her speed was too fast, she staggered back and hit the big tree hard. She suddenly saw stars and her whole body bones seemed to be falling apart.
The pain is excruciating.
Before she could see what the object she hit was, she heard an angry voice yelling, "Who are you?"
Ye Yun rubbed his painful shoulder, raised his head and looked forward. At first glance, all the dead souls suddenly appeared, and the cold hairs all over his body stood up. He saw in front of him a body that looked like a lonely ghost who had just crawled out of the Nine Nether Hell.
Dirty, with a ferocious face, nirvana's hair stuck to her face in strips, the rain plopped down on her body, and then gathered into spring water and rushed to the earth at her feet. Under such a heavy rain, the rain could not wash her away.
The mud on the body.
Ye Yun finally saw clearly. From the outline of the rain-soaked clothes, he could tell that the person was a woman. He saw that the person was holding a broken sword and pointed it directly at the tip of Ye Yun's nose, yelling, "Who are you?"
Why are you here?"
Ye Yun was breathing rapidly, looking blankly at the broken sword in front of him, and whispered: "You, who are you?"
"What are you asking? If you don't answer, I will kill you." I saw the man forcing the general up with a sword, the tip of the sword pressed against Ye Yun.
Ye Yun has been more courageous than others since she was a child, otherwise she would not have gone to a forbidden place like Manyu Valley alone, but when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Could it be the female ghost here?" she thought in her mind.
Suddenly, an extremely harsh rumbling sound sounded from the sky, and suddenly the whole rainy valley was filled with sand and rocks. Trees were broken and branches were broken, and the loud noise swept through like a tornado. The two people under the tree looked around in panic, and Ye Yun stretched out his hands to hold on tightly.
I live next to a thick tree root. I am afraid that it will be blown away by the strong wind.
The man carrying the broken sword was even more panicked. He threw away the night clouds and looked nervously at the sky full of debris.
At this moment, everything seemed to be frozen in time, all sounds disappeared, everything stood still, the debris flying in the sky stopped in the air, and the violently shaking branches also stopped for an instant. Ye Yun never stopped except for his thoughts.
Outside, even the clothes stood there like statues. The eyes, the falling raindrops, everything was at a standstill.
"I said that although the world is big, there is no place for you anymore." A magnetic voice whose gender cannot be distinguished came into Ye Yun's ears.
The man carrying the broken sword seemed to be outside the category of stillness. The man bent down, prostrated himself on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Holy Master."
"Do you still want to escape?" The magnetic voice was indifferent and cold.
"Holy Master, please let us go," the woman carrying the broken sword said in a tearful voice.
"Mingsha, you are going against the will of heaven and earth will not tolerate it. If I don't execute you, this divine order will be completely subverted in the future." After saying this, a dazzling blue light fell from the sky and stopped five feet above the ground.
I saw a large black robe floating in the air. She looked as majestic as a god, and her face was covered by a layer of hazy mist. It was not clear whether she was a man or a woman.
The man floating in the sky continued, "You betrayed God's will. You tried to tamper with the destiny of the people, and fled with Yanfeng without permission. Now, you still don't repent, and you really deserve to be punished!"
"So that person's name is Mingsha? Who is that person in the sky?" Although Ye Yun could not move, his thinking was not restricted.
Ming Sha said in a hoarse voice, "Please Saint Master, for the sake of my many years of service to you, please let Yan Feng go. All sins are caused by me, and I am willing to bear all faults."
"Can you afford it? He should have died, but you forcibly turned things around and caused the destruction of a city. Can you bring all the dead back to life?" Afterwards, the voice seemed to get louder, and there were several lightning flashes around him.
The thunder fell and the thunder was deafening.
"Tell Yanfeng's whereabouts, this is your only chance to make amends." In the sky, the man continued with a magnetic voice.
Mingsha raised his head with difficulty, as if he had exhausted all his strength to look up at the person floating in the sky. After a long time, as if he had firmed up some belief, Mingsha's voice no longer sounded crying, "I hid in the east.
Tibet is still alive, not because of fear of death. If Yanfeng can be well, I will not visit him even if I die, and what do the people in this world have to do with me."
Mingsha's body covered with filth stopped trembling. Her body was shaken, and a turbid airflow spread out around her. The stains and rainwater on her body were instantly discharged from her body under the surge of airflow.
outside.
Ye Yun saw this and was shocked to the point where he stopped thinking.
The ugly ghost-like face disappeared, and what appeared in front of her was an exquisite and graceful girl with a tight-fitting purple dress, a graceful body, shawl black hair, round jade face, and frowning eyebrows, just like a fairy.
Delicate and beautiful.
"It turns out that she is the most beautiful person in the world." I have always lived in the eyes of envy and jealousy. Seeing this face today, I felt a sense of loss deep in my heart for no reason. "No wonder I couldn't find Zininghua," Ye Yun thought in his heart
So thinking.
Just listen to Ming Sha continue to say, "I will never reveal the whereabouts of Yan Feng even if I die. Since the Holy Master refuses to give up, then please take action." When he said these words, every word
It is as difficult and steady as a jackknife.
"Obsessive".
The person in the sky seemed to have lost the patience to persuade. He stretched out his left hand on his back, and a blue light flashed out from the palm of his hand. Gradually, it became brighter and brighter. I saw that the blue light was getting bigger and bigger, covering the wide body in the sky.
All the figures were submerged in it. The blue light was like a scorching sun at this moment, illuminating the entire Rainy Valley brighter and dazzling than during the day.
"Annihilation", a low cry was heard, and the blue light shot straight down, instantly covering the Mingsha who was kneeling on the ground. The light group rotated violently, and a heartbreaking but indistinct sound could be faintly heard from inside.
"Yanfeng, I have no regrets...".
Just in an instant, the blue light disappeared on the spot, and everything returned to calm. Mingsha, who was kneeling on the ground, disappeared. It seemed that he disappeared with the blue light, leaving only the broken sword still inserted.
On the muddy ground, bursts of blue light emitted.
The people in the sky have not left yet, they just stayed in the air quietly. For a long, long time, the left hand on the back waved downwards, and a blue light curtain poured down, suddenly covering the entire Rain Valley.
