Chapter 690: Wangyou Recovers His Memory
"City Lord, I heard that the one with the fire lotus mark is the disciple of the Great Wizard. There should be only one person who will inherit the position of the Great Wizard. Why do two people have the same mark?" Tang Li did not answer him, but continued to ask.
"Because... he's Wu Mobai's disciple..." Yun Tao muttered, "Tell me quickly, where is he?!"
"I need to understand the situation first and confirm that there is no threat to his safety before I tell you where he is." Tang Li said, "Wu Mobai? But is he the great witch who went mad and killed the Saint?"
"Yes... They all say that Wu Mobai disobeyed the gods, and when the gods discovered him, he killed the gods. How could he disobey the gods? He is the patron saint of our tribe. Wu Mobai always predicted disasters, saving our people from suffering. When he was alive, our tribe enjoyed good weather and the people lived in peace. But after Wu Jie took the throne, he never predicted disasters again. Every time a disaster occurred, he said it was a punishment from the gods, making the people fear him even more. Our people fear him, but I don't believe him."
"When Wu Mobai was in power, the people offered sacrifices out of their own will and without any coercion. But when Wu Jie came to power, it became a tax, and the tax became heavier every year..." Yun Tao sighed lightly.
After experiencing two generations of Great Wizards, Yun Tao can feel the difference better and misses the previous Great Wizard even more.
He thinks the so-called omnipresence of God's eyes is a lie. Otherwise, how come so many bad people go unpunished? Instead, many good people suffer!
The saint has the blood of God and can bring good fortune to our tribe, but she is not a god. The only one who can communicate with God is the great witch.
He felt that Wu Jie had deceived God!
It would be great if there were other great witches who could tell God what Wu Jie did!
After hearing Yun Tao's words, Tang Li suddenly recalled a plot from a novel.
That plot is a special story, written from the perspective of the male and female protagonists' children. According to the timeline, it should be fifteen years later.
The hero and heroine's children mistakenly entered the ancient tribe and passed through a gloomy empty city.
In the empty city, corpses were scattered everywhere, and in the center of the city, there was a wooden carving of a person suffering.
It is said that this man is the sinner of this city.
After investigation, it was discovered that the man was the mayor of this city.
It is said that this empty city was once very prosperous, but because the city lord disobeyed the gods, he was punished by the gods and the entire city was destroyed.
After further investigation, it was discovered that the city lord actually had his own difficulties. Because the taxes in this city were getting heavier and heavier, and young girls had to be offered as sacrifices, the people were living in dire straits. The city lord led the people in the city to resist the decision of the witch.
Initially, the resistance was quite effective. The people sent by the Great Wizard were unable to take the city, and the city lord proposed to negotiate with the Great Wizard...
The situation took a turn for the worse until a plague broke out in the city.
The plague was a divine punishment that spread throughout the city.
The death of loved ones and the fear of disappointment made the people who supported the city lord begin to resent him.
In the end, the people tied the city lord to the highest point in the city, burned him to death, and prayed for God's forgiveness.
However, even after the city lord died, the plague did not disappear. People died one after another, and eventually the city became a dead city.
The children of the male and female protagonists also discovered that the source of the plague was actually cast by a witch, and it was not a divine punishment at all.
These are actually the background settings of the story. The male and female protagonists' children sympathize with and admire the city lord and want to clear his name. As a result, they are involved in the disputes among several major families of the ancient clan. Romance becomes the main content, and the matter of clearing his name is forgotten and ends in nothing.
That city is called Yunfeng City.
And the city lord, whose name is Yun Tao, is the person in front of you.
Fifteen years later, the prosperous Yunfeng City will be destroyed by a plague, and the city lord...
He is a completely tragic character.
He rose up in resistance for his people, but ultimately died at the hands of his own people.
According to the plot of the novel, Tangli completely trusts Yuntao.
This city lord is upright, brave, and loves his people like his own children. For the sake of his people, he is willing to resist the injustice of the great witch.
Tang Li no longer concealed the truth: "The person with the Fire Lotus symbol on his body is among us."
"Right here?" Yun Tao was very excited. His eyes swept among them and finally fell on Wangyou.
In the dim candlelight, the young man had a resolute face and his eyes were as cold and silent as a pool of water.
"It's me." The boy said.
Sanbao's gaze fell on Wangyou, and she felt that Wangyou had changed, was different.
Wangyou was used to keeping his head down and had a low sense of presence, but now Wangyou holds his head high and chest out, his temperament is different, and there is something on his face that she cannot understand.
"Mother, forget about him..."
"He has recovered his memory." Tang Li said.
Wangyou did recover his memory.
Before, his memories were like being locked behind a door, ready to burst forth, waiting only for a moment. When the City Lord uttered the words "Wu Mo Bai," the door suddenly flew open, and memories poured out like a tide.
He remembered.
Those old things, those entanglements, those grudges.
The Great Wizard will have many disciples, and will select the most talented among them as his successor.
At the beginning, his master and Wu Jie were both witch servants, and they were brothers in the same school.
His master was chosen to succeed the Great Wizard, and Wu Jie returned to the Yao clan and became Yao Jie again.
Wangyou had only met Yao Jie a few times, and his impression of this uncle was that he was taciturn.
So, it was particularly shocking when something like that happened later.
He didn't expect that his seemingly honest and dull uncle would turn into a Shura killer god.
The master whom he admired and revered like a father fell in a pool of blood, leaving only one sentence for him to protect the saint.
At that moment, Wangyou was actually very confused.
Just a few days ago, the master held his hand and went to the temple, where he saw the baby saint for the first time.
The master told him that that was the person he had to protect for the rest of his life.
He thought he still had a long time to grow up.
In the blink of an eye, the master was dying, and he had to take on the heavy burden...
The temple and Moon City were occupied by Jie's people. He escaped from the ancient tribe with the saint, but was chased. He was seriously injured and the saint disappeared.
He lost the saint.
Wangyou's tears fell uncontrollably.
It turned out that the most important thing he had forgotten was to find the saint.
Wangyou showed Yuntao the fire lotus symbol that proved his identity and told him the past that he knew.
"I knew it was Wu Mobai who didn't kill the previous saint, it was Wu Jie!" Yun Tao said angrily.
"It's been ten years, and I don't know where the saint is. Is she still..." Wangyou couldn't continue.
The Saint's life or death is uncertain! It's all his fault for not protecting her!
"Master Wu Shi, the new Saint is in Yuecheng..."
"The Saint is in Yuecheng?!" Wangyou said in surprise.
Back then, he was seriously injured and unconscious, losing his memory, yet others continued to protect the Saint. Could it be that those people were also killed, and the Saint was taken back to Moon City by Wu Jie?!
"The Saint is in poor health and has been recuperating in the temple all year round. I have only seen her once."
"The Saint was held hostage by Wu Jie?" Wangyou asked with a frown.
"Not really. The Saint is quite dependent on Wu Jie..." Yun Tao said.
The saint who had protected him with her life was now close to the enemy. This result must have been a great blow to the witch servant, but it was an indisputable fact...
