Beast Taming·Chapter 109: Settling a Cause and Effect
At this time, the snow blocks collapsed, and the rumbling echoes in the ravines continued. Ice chips and snow foam were flying all over the sky.
The Baifeng altar was shaking in vain, and dust was falling. Mo Feng and Mo Le looked at the top of the cave in horror, a little at a loss. This altar was built by our ancestors, using thousands of years of cold iron, engraved with 36,000 solid formations, it can be said to be extremely solid. And the scene at this moment was like an earthquake, which made them tremble with fear. Nothing like this has happened in hundreds of years, what is going on!
bump!
There was another violent collision, and dust fell from the top of the cave. The little snow girls gathered together, staring at the top of the cave with terrified eyes and trembling. Elder Snow also trembled all over and couldn't even speak clearly.
"This...this...this is the breath of the Ghost-Faced Snake! Could it be...that the Ghost-Faced Snake is chasing us?" Elder Xue's eyes were filled with fear, and he was at a loss as to what to do.
Shi Yan held his forehead and smiled bitterly. He could feel that this was clearly the breath of the Dongqi Great Snake. It seemed that he had already packed up his things. He asked Mo Le to open the door of the altar, which scared them and they tried their best to dissuade Shi Yan. However, under Shi Yan's insistence, they could only compromise and reluctantly open the door of the Baifeng Altar.
As soon as the door was opened a crack, a black wind blew in from the crack. The black wind swirled from the ground, and the ink color became thicker and thicker. Finally, a thick black snake crawled on the ground, with a pair of lantern-sized eyes, greedily looking at the snow women of the Snow Woman Tribe.
"Ah! It's really the Ghost-Faced Snake!"
As soon as the black snake appeared, the Snow Girls in the Snow Girl tribe were in chaos. They ran around in confusion, and some of the more timid ones even burst into tears.
"Ghost-faced snake..." Elder Xue's face froze, and he mustered up his courage and came to Dongqi, "Ghost... Lord Ghost-faced..."
The ghost-faced snake closed its eyes, looked at Elder Xue lazily with a slit in its eye, and stretched lazily, "Oh, it's Elder Xue!"
Elder Xue lowered his head, his body trembling and unable to stand, his voice trembling, "Ah... no... I don't know why Lord Ghost Face came here this time...?"
Dongqi Snake shook his head pretentiously, his voice was flat, and no emotion could be heard, "My Beichen Water was taken away by a man recently. Did you know?"
Elder Xue glanced at Shi Yan cautiously, thought for a moment, bit her lip, shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We, the Snow Girls, have been unable to leave this place these days, and we have no idea what is happening in the outside world these days."
Dongqi Snake nodded, turned his red eyes to Shi Yan, and silently said, "Not bad, at least I didn't expose you right away."
"In fact, their hearts are as pure as snow." Shi Yan said.
"Maybe!" The Dongqi Snake ignored Elder Xue who was frightened like a quail, and swam towards Shi Yan's feet.
Elder Xue was shocked, thinking that the Dongqi Snake knew that the Beichen Water was on Shi Yan and was preparing to snatch it away.
But something strange happened. The ghost-faced snake lay obediently at Shi Yan's feet, lowered its eyebrows and uttered two dry words, "Master...!"
Elder Xue opened his mouth wide, looking at the ghost-faced snake in disbelief, then looked at Shi Yan, his eyes wide open. "Did I hear correctly? What did the ghost-faced snake call him just now? He called him master?"
Not only her, but also those little snow girls. More than a hundred little people were floating in the air, showing the same expression. The scene looked very funny.
The one who was most shocked was none other than Elder Xue. She couldn't help but think of what Shi Yan had whispered to her just now.
"You need to use the pure water power of the North Star Water to practice, but I also need the North Star Water. Since we both need it, why don't you, the Snow Girl Tribe, follow the North Star Water? That way, we can both use it. Isn't this the best of both worlds!"
At first she sneered, but when she saw the ghost-faced snake crawling so docilely at his feet, she suddenly felt that it might be a good idea to follow him!
The sea of clouds is vast, the sun is rising slowly, and thousands of snow-capped peaks stand tall and majestic, like countless sharp swords piercing the blue sky; they sparkle with dazzling brilliance under the setting sun.
Standing at the stern, looking at the Far North gradually moving away, Shi Yan sighed.
"Perhaps, after today, the Far North will disappear from this continent." In the distance, on the white horizon, the towering icebergs began to collapse, and the ice field began to fall apart, forming cracks like a tortoise shell that has been roasted. Then the cracks expanded and became separate pieces of floating ice.
The wind was howling and snow was flying. He felt a little regretful that such a glacier continent would disappear in the future.
At the same time, he was also very worried. Even if this long-standing Far North Land lost its soul, it would eventually disappear, not to mention humans! Would Ye Yier, who had lost her soul, eventually disappear like this Far North Land?
"The white clouds in the sky change rapidly and become invisible. Even if they become gentle rain and flow into the sea, they will eventually turn into floating clouds again." Canglan's voice still rang out, and he sighed, "Don't worry, kid, I will do my best and won't let her get into any accidents!" I made a mistake once eight hundred years ago, and this time, I will never let her disappear in my hands again. Canglan swore secretly in his heart, and he sighed again, "Liu Su, wait for me, when Shi Yan can control the cold fire at will, I will come to find you."
"That's right. The universe has its own laws, and the world is always changing. Everything in the universe is originally separated and combined, and changes in reincarnation, let alone the Far North? Not to mention us, life is great, but life is weak, so why bother ourselves? My consistent idea is to do my best to do the best, and never give up what I can grasp. Similarly, never give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope. If you have time to be sad here, you might as well think about how to grasp the only hope!" Dongqi Snake also said: "Although I don't know about your affairs, I think my creed is applicable everywhere, and I believe it will be useful to you too. I'm not like that lazy chicken, who says one thing but the result is different."
Canglan snorted coldly, but was powerless to refute. He was right. He had promised to save Liusu, but in the end she was burned to death by her own strange fire.
The ship slowly sailed away, and Shi Yan stood quietly at the stern, looking at the collapsing land of the Far North, until the night went on and he could no longer see it.
"You are still here!" Suddenly a gentle voice sounded in his ears. Shi Yan turned around and found Senior Sister Mo Zixuan standing behind him.
He looked up and found that the sun had already set.
The moonlight is like water, the fragrance is fragrant, and everything seems like a dream.
"Yeah." Shi Yan nodded, blushing, feeling a little embarrassed in front of her, "Sister, why don't you go to the cabin to rest?"
Mo Zixuan looked at the moon and brushed her hair. The bright moonlight reflected on her fair skin, which was emitting a faint glow. Mo Zixuan said softly, "I want to come out for some fresh air."
Shi Yan looked at Mo Zixuan under the moonlight, slightly dazed.
Mo Zixuan sighed softly, "Before, you have heard what the two seniors said about what happened to us..."
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, and her face and slender neck were covered with red clouds. It seemed that it took a lot of effort to say these words. Mo Zixuan's forehead was covered with sweat, and her lips were slightly parted, exhaling hot air.
Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, then he thought of Cang Lan and Dong Qi's conversation, "She...she means dual...cultivation...?"
"Senior sister, I'm sorry for wronging you."
Mo Zixuan's body trembled when she heard this, and her eyes were filled with tears. She tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and forced a smile, saying, "There is no such thing as grievance. Everything is just my own fault. If it weren't for my credulity, you wouldn't have been poisoned. There must be a cause for every effect. How can we tell who has wronged whom in this world of cause and effect?"
Shi Yan stretched out his right hand and held her soft finger, sighing, "Senior Sister..."
Mo Zixuan was startled by Shi Yan's sudden action, and quickly pulled out, his eyes drifting away. She interrupted him, "This is all just cause and effect, you don't have to care, and besides..."
She hesitated to speak, her heart filled with deep sorrow, and she silently said to herself, "Besides, I can't be with you."
Shi Yan felt a pang of pain in his heart, "What cause and effect! If cause and effect really exist in the world, then are we the cause or the effect now? If all this is a cause, then there must be a result in the future. Senior sister, what are you still worried about!" He stubbornly grabbed Mo Zixuan's hand and held it tightly, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn't get away.
Seeing that his struggle was fruitless, Mo Zixuan could only give up, "Oh, forget it, let him be tonight, and just consider that the consequence is over..."
A month later, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the Donleng Valley in Shiyan. The laughter lingered in the Donleng Valley, making those who heard it tremble.
"I, Dongqi, am indeed much stronger than that scoundrel. After three days of research, I finally separated the Water Jade Essence from the North Star Water!" In front of the Dongqi snake floated a group of dark blue water droplets and a crystal clear sphere like water jade. These were the separated North Star Water and North Star Heart, the Water Jade Essence!
Shi Yan burst in and asked in surprise, "Did it work?"
Dongqi grinned, "Of course it's done!"
He handed the Water Jade Essence to Shi Yan and said, "Here, the Water Jade Essence."
Shi Yan carefully took the Water Jade Essence, held it in his palm and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something was wrong and asked, "No, why is the color of this Water Jade Essence different from what I saw before? Dongqi, tell me the truth, did you embezzle it?"
Dong Qi snorted coldly, "Humph, I know that under the influence of that bastard, I have become a synonym for evil in your mind, but no matter how much of a bastard I am, I still have moral integrity. How could such a despicable thing happen to me?"
