Chapter 779 If You Don’t Want to Live, Then Die
Ye Feizhou was puzzled, "What is it? Can it save the Emperor from the sea?"
She nodded, "Yes. But we won't directly take him out to sea. Instead, we will trigger a catastrophe. When the sky collapses and the earth collapses, and the mountains and rivers are greatly changed, he will have a chance to come out from the bottom of the sea."
Ye Feizhou was stunned when he heard it, "The sky is falling and the earth is collapsing?" Is this kid crazy?
Ye Wenyan knew what he was thinking and quickly explained: "Second brother, don't panic. The catastrophe of heaven and earth is inevitable. Even if Master hadn't left the abyss and entered the sea, he and I had a plan to cause this catastrophe. Second brother, do you only want to live for 60 years?"
Ye Feizhou was stunned. "You mean, the catastrophe of heaven and earth is related to human life span?" "Yes." Ye Wenyan nodded and told her and Shi Liyuan's speculations. She also mentioned the five-colored stone that could cause the catastrophe, but she didn't mention the treasure that connected to another time and space, nor did she mention that the five-colored stone represented the five veins. It's not that she didn't trust Ye Feizhou, but some things are long to talk about, and they are not something that mortals of this era can understand.
Finally, the topic fell on the five-colored stones. She said, "Since the five-colored stones can cause a catastrophe in heaven and earth, I must find them all. The restriction on life span causes too many people to die every day. Although birth, aging, illness and death are also the rules of heaven and earth, dying at the age of sixty is definitely not normal."
She looked at Ye Feizhou and asked him, "Second brother, are you willing to live only sixty years?"
Ye Feizhou shook his head, "Not willing."
"That's it. If you are unwilling, then naturally others are unwilling too. We finally come to this world, but we can only live for sixty years. Why? If this world is always like this, it would be fine, but we have clearly heard of the term "longevity". Four hundred years ago, when the spiritual power of heaven and earth was still there, mortals could obviously live for a long time. Why is it that it can only be like this now?
So I have to break it, even if it means making some sacrifices, I have to break this deadlock.
I know that by then, many people will not understand, and many people would rather live only 60 years than face the catastrophe in advance. But second brother, this is only the idea of one generation, but can you guarantee that their descendants will have the same idea?
Sooner or later, the restriction of life span will be broken. Instead of dragging it out, it is better to grit your teeth and do it. Even if there are sacrifices, it is worth it for the sake of justice. Besides, when the time comes, I and Master Liyuan will protect you, so it may not be too much to sacrifice.
Even changing dynasties requires making choices, not to mention the major event of changing the laws of heaven and earth. "Second brother, do you believe me?"
Ye Feizhou listened to her words, analyzed it quickly in his mind, and then nodded, "Brother believes you. I have said before, no matter what you want to do, I will do it with you. No matter where you want to go, I will go with you. So Xiao Si, just do what you want to do, and don't worry about the rest. Even if the second brother can't share too much for you, at least there is an arm for you to pull, and a shoulder for you to lean on. The emperor entrusted you to me, I can't let him down, and I can't let myself down. If I can't even protect my own sister, what's the use of all my martial arts?"
Two days later, the whipping of the corpses at the Shen family's ancestral tomb was completed. After the last whipping, the skeletons immediately turned into powder and disappeared in the wind.
The officials watched the ashes being blown away by the wind like dust. Thinking back to the Shen family's former arrogance and how the prefect had to lower his head halfway when speaking in front of the family, they couldn't help but curse: They deserve it!
Wen Yan has been busy these past two days and nights. She has picked all the flowers within a 20-mile radius of Chiyun City, and her harvest is several times more than that of Lin'an City. Because the climate in the south is good, flowers bloom all the time, and there are not only many kinds but also more quantities. The heavy snowstorm in the middle of summer did not affect the growth of wild flowers at all. Instead, they bloomed more than before.
This is what Su Yuanwang said. He has been stationed at the border for many years and knows the situation here too well. According to him, "There have never been so many flowers blooming in previous years. I don't know if it was because of the heavy snowstorm that these wild flowers were suppressed and rushed to bloom. Or is it because the Emperor and the Empress came here and blessed them."
After saying that, Ye Feizhou glared at him. Su Yuanwang immediately realized his mistake. Why mention the Emperor at this time? Wouldn't that just cause trouble for the Emperor and Empress?
Fortunately, Ye Wenyan was not too upset. She was upset for sure, but she had been struggling with this matter for half a year. Now that the restrictions on the seabed had been set, the only thing left was to find the five-colored stones with all her strength. After collecting them, she could trigger a catastrophe in the world, rescue Shi Liyuan, and break the shackles of the world.
However, this matter was originally supposed to be done by her and Shi Liyuan, and now she is the only one left, which is still a bit too risky.
No one knew what a catastrophe would be like. The previous blizzard had caused many people to lose their lives. Once the catastrophe came, would she be able to control the development of the situation? Would she be able to control the changes in the world?
So many lives have been lost, and Shi Liyuan saved the world with his life. She can't afford to lose them all in one catastrophe.
She wants to break her lifespan of sixty years and at the same time keep the world as long as possible. What should she do?
When she was at the bottom of the sea, she searched for the soul of the great demon, but all she found were useless things, all of which were about the struggle between the demon beasts and humans in the past two thousand years. Although it was tragic, too many years had passed after all. Now the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is no longer there, and both the spiritual practitioners and the demon beasts are dead. Death is the end of everything, dust to dust, and people in the future will just read it like a story, and it is difficult to empathize.
But not all memories are useless. She thinks there is a message that is related to the five-colored stone.
About five hundred years ago, the spiritual power of heaven and earth was still there, and the great demon was only one step away from surviving the heavenly tribulation and transforming into a human form.
But its cultivation level was stuck there, motionless, without any change for two hundred years.
It was very anxious, and searched all over the world, and finally heard that there was a colorful stone hidden in the depths of the desert. It was purple all over, but it was not an ordinary gem, nor was it a spiritual stone used by spiritual practitioners. It was a bit like the legendary immortal stone that was superior to spiritual stones and could only be used by spiritual practitioners who were above the top.
As long as they possessed that kind of immortal stone, whether they were human cultivators or demon beasts, their cultivation could be greatly improved. Even if they were stuck in a bottleneck period for a long time, the immortal stone could help them pass it smoothly and make a breakthrough.
The demon wanted to find the stone, so he went to the desert. Unfortunately, he didn't find the stone, but the trip to the desert helped him comprehend some fate and successfully overcome the bottleneck.
The stone left a deep impression on the demon. Even though it was trapped on the bottom of the sea, it was still thinking about how to get the stone. In addition to wanting to own it, it was also afraid that someone else would get it and pose a threat to it.
The demon once asked the Shen family to look for such a stone. The Shen family brought back the news that the stone was in Suyuan, but they didn't know who had it. The initial estimate was that it should be in the royal family, but the Shen family was just a merchant and couldn't enter the Suyuan Palace.
This is the information Ye Wenyan found out from the big monster's mind, so she has to go to Su Yuan. The four stones have to be found one by one. As long as there is a clue, she has to go and see it in person.
What's more, Feng Zhaolian was abducted to Su Yuan and there has been no news for half a year. She was also anxious.
Now many things can no longer be kept secret, for example, the fact that she knows magic, many people in Chiyun City already know about it.
She did not try to hide it, because Shi Liyuan's affairs would be exposed one day, and then she would have to shoulder the responsibility for Shi Liyuan's past.
Even if she cannot bear too much, at least it is necessary to deter other countries.
It was just that people knew about it, and she could not hide the fact that she had spiritual power, but she could never tell anyone that her spiritual power was triggered by flowers. Even on this flower picking operation, the only people who followed her were Ye Feizhou, Quan Qingfan, and Su Yuanwang who was more familiar with the terrain.
Ye Wenyan made up her mind that after picking all the flowers and sending Su Yuanwang back to Chiyun City, she would use magic to erase Su Yuanwang's memory. She also wanted to erase the scene of Shi Liyuan entering the sea from the minds of the fishermen in Haixian Town.
Regardless of whether more people will know about it in the future, at least she must do what she can now.
Ye Feizhou reminded her: "If we want to go to Suyuan, we can expand the range of flower picking. It's next to the desert. I heard that the wind and sand have been stronger in recent years. The desert has moved eastward. One-third of the land of Suyuan is sunken in the yellow sand. People have to walk through the sand when they go out. It's hard to find flowers in such a place. You should prepare more!"
Ye Wenyan nodded, and spent another three days expanding the range of flower picking, finally stopping on the fourth day.
"That's enough." She said to Ye Feizhou, "Now I have more than ten times more flowers than I collected in Lin'an. That's enough. As we go further north, the weather is colder and we can't pick many. We might as well set off early. As long as Master Liyuan doesn't come out of the sea, I won't feel at ease. Although I have set up restrictions on the seabed, there are always unexpected events. What if something unexpected happens?"
Ye Feizhou also knew that what she said was right, so he nodded, "Okay, then let's go back to Scarlet Cloud City to prepare and set off immediately."
This preparation was actually done by Ye Feizhou and Quan Qingfan, and Ye Wenyan just did his own thing.
The memories of some people were wiped out, and several bans and formations were set up in the shallow sea area, directly restricting everyone from going out to sea.
Su Yuanwang no longer remembered the incident of her using flowers to stimulate spirits, but he remembered Quan Qingfan saying that it was the Emperor who taught the Emperor and Empress the skills, so the Emperor and Empress were also people who could use magic.
As for what was hidden in the Shoreless Sea, Su Yuanwang didn't remember. Ye Wenyan only told him: "There is something unusual in the Shoreless Sea. The Sea God is angry. No one is allowed to enter the sea, otherwise their lives will be in danger. As for what to do with the fishermen in Haixian Town, it depends on you, the prefect, to find a way to make a living for them. I know this is a bit difficult, but it is not completely impossible. Otherwise, how can those people who don't live by the sea survive? We can't lose this sea to rely on and die."
Su Yuanwang had forgotten many things, and he didn't know that his memory had been erased. He just remembered that the Empress seemed to have a lot of resentment towards the people of Haixian Town. So much so that Ye Wenyan finally said to him: "If they think that not being able to go out to sea to fish means they have lost their livelihood, then let them all die!"
