In the huge living room, sitting on the seat in the center, was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, wearing a yellow brocade robe with a golden word "original" embroidered on his chest. He was stroking the tea cup on the table with his right hand.
He didn't speak for a long time.
Below, Yuan Yong was kneeling respectfully. On the left and right sides were several old men. These people were the elders of the Yuan family. The living room was very silent, and the atmosphere was dead.
Yuan Yong buried his head tightly. After losing the Yuan Stone, he shouldn't have returned to his original home. However, he was injured and penniless. If he didn't return to his original home, there would be no one to save him, and he would be dead.
Ichijo, after much thought, finally decided to return to his original home and report the facts to the head of the family, Yuan Lie.
"Yuan Yong, the loss is so serious, do you still have the nerve to come back?" Yuan Lie frowned slightly and said expressionlessly. With a slight exertion of his right hand, the tea cup made of fine iron was crushed by him.
Yuan Yong's heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare to refute, so he could only admit his mistake: "I know my mistake, please give me a heavy punishment!"
"If a heavy punishment is effective, do you think you can still live till now?" Yuan Lie's words were mixed with anger, which scared Yuan Yong to the point where he sweated profusely and his body trembled.
"Elders, please tell me your opinions." Yuan Lie turned to look at the elders on the left and right seats. The elders looked at each other, and their eyes focused on a gray-haired elder. This was the eldest elder of the Yuan family, Yuan Yue.
Yuan Yue said: "Master, the Yuan family has family rules. Anyone who fails to perform a task will be killed with a stick. However..." The topic changed and he continued: "This matter is of great importance. A few dozen yuan stones are not a small amount.
If we can get it, our income this year can at least triple. The Yuan Stone has been snatched away, and we must take it back. Only Yuan Yong knows the whereabouts of the Yuan Stone. Yuan Yong, are you willing to make amends and take back the Yuan Stone?
?”
"Yes, I am willing!" Yuan Yong immediately kowtowed.
"In that case, Great Elder, you lead your men and accompany Yuan Yong into the Abyss of Death. You must capture the Yuan Stone. If you fail, you know the consequences." Yuan Lie looked at Yuan Yue and Yuan Yong and ordered in a cold voice.
"yes!"
After Yuan Yue accepted the order, he stood up and left with Yuan Yong, preparing to go to the Dead Soul Abyss...
Dead Soul Abyss, a certain valley.
The sky is clear and cloudless, the birds are chirping gracefully, the flowers are blooming, and the fish are swimming carefree in the ponds. There is a peaceful atmosphere in the valley.
"Let's go!" Ling Yun said happily, her big and smart eyes showing her joy. She didn't look like a young lady at all, she was just a young and lively little girl.
Qianyu nodded in agreement. After two days of getting along, he had a preliminary understanding of Ling Yun. Ling Yun's character can only be described in one word - weird!
Sometimes she can be dignified and elegant, with a noble temperament, and have the demeanor of a lady. Sometimes she is unscrupulous, lively and noisy, like an ignorant child. Sometimes she is willful, sometimes unruly, she is boasting one second, and the next second she is bragging.
Just stay silent, as quiet as a virgin.
The combination of such contradictory personalities in one person surprised Qianyu. It was the first time in so many years that he had seen a "strange" girl like Ling Yun. The girls in his impression were either as kind as Qian Yuying
Thoughtful, or like Qian Tao's sister Qian Shengnan, who is fierce, macho and unfeminine.
In fact, Ling Yun's character can be described in two words, that is, she is casual. No matter what she does, she follows her own temperament. She shakes her head when she meets someone she doesn't like and won't hide it. When she meets someone she likes, she just shakes her head.
Express directly without any shyness.
"Qianyu, do unicorns really have only one horn?" Ling Yun met a unicorn while heading towards the destination and asked curiously.
"Hmm." Qianyu was speechless. A unicorn must only have one horn. Why should I ask?
"Qianyu, do Bone-Eating Bees like to eat human flesh?"
"You can go and try."
"Qianyu, are the teeth of the saber-toothed tiger really as sharp as a sword?"
"No, it's sharper than a sword."
"Qianyu, blood pig..."
"Miss Ling, please can you stop asking?"
Qianyu was a little impatient and felt helpless at the same time.
"Okay." Ling Yun was a little disappointed.
After a moment of silence, Ling Yun began to ask again: "Qianyu, can the Winged Lion King really fly?"
"Won't."
"Qianyu, are the six-eared monkey's ears round or square?"
"None of that. Jagged."
"They have six ears, so their hearing must be very sensitive, right?"
"No, they are all deaf."
Qianyu answered Ling Yun's questions casually. Ling Yun was so curious that she asked countless questions along the way, which made Qian Yu's head feel big.
The two of them slowly approached the interior of the Necromantic Abyss and met many violent beasts along the way. Although Qianyu was very careful, he was still attacked by the beasts. In desperation, he could only join forces with Ling Yun to attack the beasts.
Kill. When encountering a powerful beast, Qianyu will first release the powder to stun the beast, and then Lingyun will kill it.
There was still a long way to go before the destination marked on the map, and as the sky gradually dimmed, Qianyu decided to stay one night. After selecting an area, he built a bonfire and fed on the ferocious beasts he had killed during the day.
Ling Yun had not fully adapted to jungle life and was not interested in animal meat. It was not until she was hungry all day that she couldn't bear it anymore, so she reluctantly ate some animal meat to replenish her physical strength.
Qianyu comforted her: "I was just like you at first. I couldn't get used to eating animal meat. This is normal and it takes time to get used to it."
Ling Yun nodded with a wry smile, and suddenly asked: "Qianyu, with your talent, it would be a pity to stay in the Dead Soul Abyss. Have you considered going to the Cave Heaven Paradise in Beiming for further study?"
Dongtian Paradise is a monastic school, similar to a sect, but different from it. The sect occupies a unique position and has a strong bias, but Dongtian Paradise remains neutral and accepts disciples. They only need to pass the corresponding assessment.
To become one of them, regardless of background, it only depends on talent and strength.
There are two cave heaven blessed places in Beiming - Wan Yang Holy Land and Qian Yue Cave Heaven.
"Qianyu, why are you always so unsure?" Ling Yun asked.
"……I don't know either."
"My father told me that when you are born as a human being, you should aim high and work hard, and never underestimate yourself. Even if you are a salted fish, you can turn around sometimes."
"How can it be so easy for a salted fish to turn over?" Qianyu laughed at himself. In his current state, he might not even be as good as a salted fish...
Seeing the sadness on Qianyu's face, Ling Yun stopped asking and changed the subject: "Qianyu, if you had such an opportunity, what would you choose?"
"Compared with Wanyang Holy Land and Qianyue Cave Heaven, which one is more famous?" Qianyu asked.
"Of course it's the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Suns."
"I choose Qianyue Cave Sky." Qianyu thought for a while and then made his choice.
"Why?" Ling Yun couldn't understand.
"I don't know." Qianyu replied, "Maybe it's because I like this name better."
After hearing this, Ling Yun did not answer immediately, and unexpectedly remained silent, as if thinking about something.
"You keep vigil tonight." After filling his stomach, Qianyu turned to Ling Yun and said.
Ling Yun didn't answer. Qian Yu turned around and saw that Ling Yun was lying on the ground and asleep!
Qianyu was speechless. He glanced at Ling Yun and sighed helplessly. Ling Yun was too lazy.
After stretching his muscles, Qianyu stood up quickly and sprinkled medicinal powder within a hundred meters. These medicinal powders had a pungent smell and could prevent ferocious beasts from approaching. After completing all this, he took out a roll from the mustard bag.
The quilt was gently covered on Ling Yun, and then the night vigil began. Ling Yun, who was already "sleeping soundly", showed a faint smile... (To be continued)
