C2 Dust Seal

The tavern was crackling non-stop, knowing that Hong Yi was in the midst of arranging things, so he temporarily didn't have time to pay attention to himself. He ran and ran straight into the door of the boss's residence, wanting to notify everyone that he could run as fast as he could. However, just as he took a step forward, his front foot hit thin air. Caught off guard, his body fell and he immediately rolled down.

When did it become a wine cellar? The boss wanted to soak himself in the wine vat … With this thought in mind, Ye Cangguang felt that his body was no longer under his control. His face kept getting closer and closer to his face, occasionally making a turn and making intimate contact with the passageway. After a few twists and turns, he landed on the ground. Ye Zangming lay there sprawled out, thinking: After turning so many corners, the boss is afraid of stealing! The shop in front of him was about to be demolished, and he still had that thought …

With great difficulty, he stood up. It was so dark that he could not see anything. He could only feel his way forward. Because of his previous experiences, this time, the steps under Ye Hidden Light's feet became small.

"You're here …"

The sudden voice gave Ye Hidden Light a fright. He sat on the ground and didn't intend to stand up again. He stuttered, "Come..." It's here! You... "You're already here …"

The dim yellow candle light lit up. As the range of the light wasn't too far, as the candle flame swayed, it was hard to tell where it was. At times it would be bright and at other times it would be dark like a ghost flame, except for the people sitting in front of the candle. Ye Hidden Light's mouth was wide open, unable to utter a word. It was actually the mayor.

"Since you came to such an inconvenient place, it seems that it must be the will of heaven." The mayor's eyes were fixed on the candle flame, his voice low and disorderly, as if it was blown out of the ground by the wind.

"Subdue …" Mayor, this place is actually quite easy to find. There's only one road, as long as you push open the door, you'll have to come down. "Don't blame the heavens for this. They probably won't do anything to dig the tunnels. Even digging so deep isn't good. The stuffing almost fell out …"

The more Ye Cangguang spoke, the more he felt uncomfortable. He didn't feel good about the Mayor deliberately making things so mysterious, so he patted off the dust on his clothes and stood up.

"Such a good child, such a good Green Lotus Town …" "It's a pity, what should come will eventually come. Even if I hide, I won't be able to …"

"Mayor, now is not the time to hide! Just now, an outsider had killed Er Kui. He said that he was looking for some kind of spirit root, but in reality, it was to take away a child from the town. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. You must think of an idea! "

"Is it for it?"

The mayor took out something from his bosom. It was a lotus root shining with green light, its surroundings were exceptionally clear. The hidden light looked around and then fell on the ground, even forgetting the pain.

On one side, there was a glowing green lotus, while on the other side, the whole room was filled with a deathly stillness. The strong contrast almost made Ye Cangguang collapse, he didn't know what the Mayor was doing.

"Everyone in the village, including me, is waiting for you, but I didn't know … "Is it my fortune to have you in the village, or is it misfortune …"

As the mayor spoke, he shakily stretched out a hand and lightly turned the spirit tablet closest to him. Although the sound of it rubbing against the ground was not very noticeable, Ye Zhe still felt a chill in his heart when he heard it.

Ye Cang Guang's eyes widened, he did not even dare to breathe loudly, and looked at the scene that was about to happen. Wordless! There's nothing up there! Ye Hidden Light heaved a sigh of relief.

"This is yours, so it's all because of it!"

With that, the mayor waved the green lotus in his hand and continued, "When I picked you up, you were just a baby in a cradle. I didn't want such an orphan thing to happen in Qing Lian Town, so I kept you by my side. Twelve years ago, when you were just able to walk, you dragged me to that place. It was the forbidden ground of the town, and no one except the mayors knew it. You want this lotus, but do you know how it works? For many years, because of it, the little town of Green Lotus had never had anything to do with war and strife. At first I did not understand, but then I thought it through. Even if the water is deep and fiery, it has nothing to do with the Blue Lotus; even if people are lost, the Blue Lotus is still untainted … However, no one could escape the imprisonment of death! Hundreds of years of legacies have not yet reached the level of a newborn baby without a master … I seem to remember that when I picked you up, it was raining so hard that the sky was dark and not even a crack could be seen in the sky. "If you open your eyes and see the first ray of light, then I really want to know, what else do you see other than hope …"

Ye Cangguang was close to tears listening to this. He thought to himself, "What the heck are you doing?" Did the Mayor pick me up? How did it end up turning into something like a tavern handyman … From the start, no one had ever told him about his parents. But other than that, what was the point of rain? It was still raining so heavily. Had he been struck out of thin air? How could it be such a coincidence? Heavy Rain... Heavy rain? Ye Cang Guang was muttering in his heart, as if he was thinking of something …

All of a sudden, Ksitigarbha straightened his back, sweat and mud running down his face. It was that intermittent dream, the same world, the same wind and rain …

When he raised his head to look at the Blue Lotus in the Mayor's hand again, a wave of absent-mindedness hit him. The Hidden Light was even unable to tell if it was outside or inside. The black-clothed person in the wind and rain, the people lingering in the rain, the young lady who had almost fallen in the rain, all appeared in front of him. When they all turned to look over, some of them were extremely excited, some of them had tears in their eyes, and some had pity in their eyes …

Ye Hidden Light's entire body trembled. He tried his best to open his eyes wide in an attempt to reconstruct the reality in his head and escape from this unforgettable arrogance. At this moment, a buzzing sound entered his ears.

Ye Cang Guang covered his ears with force to isolate himself from the outside world, but the voice in his heart could not be suppressed. The cry of a baby was extremely loud. Following that, the cries of a baby followed one after another, gradually getting closer and closer as the green lotus gradually grew larger …

Come on... Come on... You and I were originally of the same origin, why have we been separated for so long? Let me enter your heart and become a part of you, or let you come to me and become the most precious lotus seed. Come on...

Hearing this faint sound, Hidden Light instinctively stretched out his hand, but was interrupted by the endless rain. He held his hand tightly to his ear and shouted in his heart, "I don't know you! "Go away..."

Just as his eyes were filled with blood, everything in front of him shattered and withered. The dream became reality as one familiar name after another was carved onto the spirit tablet. With his back facing her, it was a fluke, but facing her, he felt cold all over, so much so that he couldn't even breathe.

"Accept it. You are a pearl to begin with, even if you were to throw it at the lowest level, it would still be useless. It was time to end the natural selection competition. Hong'er, come here! "

He picked up a dagger from beside him and picked up the candle wick. The dagger shone sharply against the candlelight.

At this moment, a woman came to the side of the mayor. She was a living person, and compared to the spirit tablets, the hidden light felt a tinge more alive.

"Hidden Light, this lotus should have been given to you, but please allow me to be selfish and hand it over to my granddaughter Hong'er. I only wanted to have this so called spirit root to live. As for you, you were chosen by the heavens to begin with. When you have enough power in the future, go retrieve what was yours. Best... "It would be best if he could protect my Hong'er as well …"

The mayor said this in a choked voice, then pointed at the spirit tablets. Hidden Light looked at the Mayor's trembling fingers as if they were poking themselves in the heart.

"Fine, I agree!" Ye Hidden Light didn't even think twice before agreeing to the mayor's request.

The mayor nodded in relief and said in a low voice, "Hong'er, come here. I have a few words to tell you. Whatever you see and hear today, you must never think of it again, never speak of it to anyone. "You should also try to forget about Ye Hidden Light. Today is your last day. Do you understand?"

"Hong'er understands." The woman's voice was soft and filled with determination.

"Good!" Now that I handed this lotus to you, it can be considered a gift for hiding light. However, it is not in your hands.

"Grandfather, I'm ready."

Listening to their conversation, Ye Cang Guang felt his heart tremble. He thought to himself: If I don't hold it in my hand, how can I tie it to my feet?

At this moment, the mayor suddenly turned around and stabbed his right hand towards Hong'er. In his hand was a dagger that had been burning on the candle flame for a long time.

Seeing this, Ye Cang Guang could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes. He wanted to ask why it was necessary, but he could not make a single sound.

"Ye Hidden Light, a man must learn to be stronger! Putting away those useless tears, everyone in the Green Lotus Town didn't need tears to send them off! If I place these spiritual roots on Hong'er, I will feel more at ease. "

After the mayor said that, he stuffed the lotus root into Hong'er's body. Then, he threw away the dagger in his hand and picked up the needle and thread he prepared earlier and began sewing.

Hong'er might not be able to endure this pain any longer, and her low wails echoed in the surroundings. Ye Hidden Light wanted to find a corner to lean on, but he discovered that he could not even rely on his heart.

After a long time, the mayor tore off a piece of Hong'er's clothes and slowly tied it to her face. Then, he looked at Ye Xiaguang and said, "You guys go out, Cangguang will be in charge of calling all the children in the town and tell them it's my idea. According to the man's instructions, it was always good to have one more person to go with him. "Don't take off the cloth on Hong'er's face, no one can. Hidden Light, can you do it?"

"Yes …" Can... "However, you have to help me up first …"

"Hong'er, you should go over. We'll support each other and help each other out …"

In the long and narrow tunnel, Hong'er bent her waist yet did not forget to support Ye Hidden Light. Even though Hidden Light dragged his leg, he did not forget to bend over and pull Hong'er. Listening to each other's heavy breathing, Ye Zangming had a feeling that the winding road upwards seemed to have no end. Fortunately, he didn't have to take more than one step to leave behind a past he didn't want to remember, including the Mayor's still echoing but inaudible mumbles …

"Is it really good to become an immortal?" In the end, cultivation and cultivation were still the same legends! Just like that green lotus, who would actually bring it? Who could really take them away? The road of immortality was merciless, one could not forget the grudges and grudges of this lifetime. "The immortal realms are vast and boundless, but the only thing I hate most is being able to live in peace and quiet for thousands of years …"
