In the woods outside the trading area, a group of people waited on the aisle carved out in the woods.
In the air, an eagle flew by.
The traveling expedition team looked at these Flaming Horns curiously, not knowing what these Flaming Horns were here for, but looking at the eagle in the sky, those familiar with the trading area would know that there must be something in the Flaming Horn. Important thing, otherwise this eagle wouldn't be here.
The expedition team is curious, but they don't want to be affected. If something really happened, it would be too late to cry if they started a fight and were accidentally injured. Therefore, some teams just glanced over there and walked away.
Shao Xuan sat on the back of the eagle and looked in one direction in the distance.
He heard the conversation between Yi Si and Yi Cong in the cave that day. He stood at the entrance of the cave and heard it. There was no one else at the entrance of the cave. He moved the people who were guarding the entrance of the cave away. The ancestor Wuyin mentioned by Yi Cong made Shao Xuan very curious, because it was not left in the notes of the ancestors of Yanjiao. Of course, it may also be that the Yanjiao tribe has experienced several migrations, and the tools for inheritance are limited. , so it cannot be passed down to the present.
The reason why Shao Xuan himself was able to come to this world is obviously related to the ancestor Wuyin. However, now Shao Xuan has not been able to figure out why the ancestor Wuyin appeared on him, maybe it was the reason for the stone, maybe it was something else.
And now, he brought a team of Flaming Horn warriors to wait here, just to wait for the person Yi Cong has been waiting for.
After Yi Cong talked to Yi Si that day, he told Shao Xuan that the person he was waiting for was coming. Yi Cong has been reluctant to say more, just to wait for this day.
Shao Xuan looked forward, his eyes narrowed, he raised his hand and patted Chacha, signaling it to fly over.
A little far away from the trading area, a tall figure is walking through the forest. Because his body is much larger than that of an ordinary person, the gaps between the trees in the woods are not enough to provide him with space to walk. Therefore, even if he has already Try to choose some open spaces to walk on, but you still can't avoid bumping into branches or tree trunks.
However, the man didn't care, he directly smashed the tree in front of him, raised his big hand and pushed aside some vines and branches. The whole person looked very cumbersome, but he did not slow down in action, and his footsteps were very hurried. Some small beasts around have heard the sound and avoided it.
In the woods, there were many bloodstains on the man's gray skin, and there were many wounds from sharp and blunt weapons.
The man raised his hand to wipe the sweat and blood on his face, his beast-like eyes stared straight ahead and ran quickly. While running, that person would also intentionally block the branches that were pushed aside and bounced back with their hands, so as not to let those branches hit behind him.
Suddenly, the blue-gray figure paused, his eyes rose sharply, and he raised his head to stare into the air, with one hand behind him.
call-
A giant eagle flew by in the air, hovering above the woods, and then, a figure jumped down from above and landed on the grass not far from the man. Rice pits, grass clippings splash.
Shao Xuan looked at the person not far away. The other party was a half-orc similar to the green cricket. Probably because of the long journey, his body was thinner than the green cricket. The muscles were tense like a stone, and the wounds in some places were deep with bone, but the other party seemed to be unable to feel it, and his movements were not hindered.
Shao Xuan took a step forward.
Kara Kara Kara—
Many bone spurs appeared from the opponent's back, trembling and making a sound. This was a warning and a threat. The original look of fierceness seemed to be more and more hideous. The opponent turned his body sideways, one hand with sharp claws stood in front of him as a precaution, and the other was behind his back.
"Grey?" Shao Xuan called, looking at the half-orc slave not far away.
The grey crossbow stared at Shao Xuan's beast-like eyes and moved, flashing doubts.
Although the other party did not admit it, but looking at the other party's reaction, it should be that he was right. Shao Xuan looked away from the gray crossbow and looked at the place ten steps away from him. There was a slightly larger tree, which was not comparable to those towering ancient trees in the hunting ground, but there was also a person who was thicker.
"Crazy?"
There was no response there, Shao Xuan was not in a hurry, and waited quietly. After a few breaths, a short and thin figure came out from behind the tree over there. The exposed skin had many stripes, like the camouflage of a beast, suitable for sneak attack in the woods.
The short and thin figure that came out, like a shadow, flashed to the side of the gray pig with a quick step, and the running sound was not very loud, like an insect flapping its wings a few times.
"Who are you?" Chi asked.
Shao Xuan did not answer directly, but raised his hand and threw a jade stone over there. It was the jade stone used by Yi Cong for divination, and it was also the certificate given by Yi Cong before Shao Xuan came to pick him up.
The short and slender Ji caught the jade and looked at it carefully, his vigilant expression softened slightly, revealing a hint of joy.
And the gray scorpion standing next to the scorpion did not hide his excitement, "Master's divination stone!"
Shao Xuan looked around again, "Just the two of you? Where are the other eight?" He could recognize the two slaves based on what Yi Cong described, but Yi Cong said that the slaves he sent to escort There are ten, and now he only sees two people, Huizhu and Zhi.
"It's gone." The joy on his face faded.
Of the ten slaves, only the two of them were left alive. If it's a while longer, I'm afraid the gray scorpion will not be able to live. Along the way, they encountered too many crises, and they did not have the ability to predict good and bad like the Yi family, so it was naturally a lot more difficult.
Even Yi Si, who does not know divination, can make judgments based on any environment. Therefore, although Yi Si and Qing Zhe only had two masters and servants back then, they were much easier than Hui Zou and Zhe. As for the scorpion and scorpion, they were completely unfamiliar with this continent, and they didn't understand the language, so it was even more difficult.
"Where's your little master?" Shao Xuan looked at Huizhu.
Hui Lu looked at Shao Xuan and then at Ji, but didn't move. His brain is not bright, and the decision-making between the two is Chi. If there is an irresistible danger, the one who is left as a meat shield to hold back the danger will definitely be the scorpion, not the scorpion. If the scorpion is alive, it can take the little master farther, but if it is the scorpion, it will probably not take long. will be killed by people. This is also the reason why there are more injuries on the ash.
"Little master is well." Ji did not take off his defense against Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan didn't care either, he felt that there was still a breath of life behind Hui Lu, as long as he was sure he was alive.
"Follow me." Shao Xuan turned and went back in the direction of the tribe.
Hui Lu looked at Ji, and when he saw Ji raised his heels, he followed.
Behind the ash, there is something woven from vines, like a back shell, and inside, there is a basket with a baby in it.
That was Yi Cong's half-year-old son.
It was not easy to bring a half-year-old baby here from the royal city alive.
Shao Xuan took Huilu and Zhu to the cave where Yi Cong was imprisoned. For several days, Yi Cong had been divination, no one knew what he had done, but watched Yi Cong's temples have more and more white hair.
Yi Cong's eyes were red, and he took his son with trembling hands. Because there are some secret recipes specially designed for long-distance travel, which can be eaten by babies, and can make them fall asleep after eating without affecting their journey, so when I arrived in front of Yi Cong, this baby, who was well protected by slaves, was still safe. slumber.
When Yi Cong left the Yi family, his son hadn't been born yet, but he made a divination before leaving, and after discussing it with his wife, he made several plans. Once the Yi family has an accident, the child will be sent away.
The rest of the Yi family didn't know that Yi Cong, who had encountered a bottleneck in divination, actually made a divination before leaving the Yi family, and that time was very successful. Others thought that Yi Cong went out to practice just to break through the bottleneck, but only the cronies knew that Yi Cong had other plans.
Today, the youngest son was secretly sent out. As for the Yi family, Yi Cong's son, who was born not long ago, "disappeared" during the turmoil in the Yi family.
However, Yi Cong did not decide where to send the child at that time. He did so after the war with Yi Xiang. He has been looking for the safest place to let his young son who was born not long ago avoid the turmoil in the Yi family. After all, it is difficult for such a young child to survive the turmoil in the Yi family. However, Yi Cong did not expect that in the end, the safest place would be here.
At the beginning of the period, Hui Yun and Ji Qi didn't know where to send the little master. They could only follow the direction instructed by the master in their consciousness until they met Shao Xuan.
This is also the reason why Yi Cong negotiated with Yan Jiao about "exchanging life for life".
He, Yi Cong, was the only one who participated in the pursuit back then, and the child was innocent, but for many people, no matter how innocent you are, it is their consistent insistence to cut grass and root. In order to allow Yanjiao to truly accommodate his young son, Yi Cong decided to overdraw his lifespan and almost exhausted his life force in advance to plan for the expansion of Yanjiao!
This is also his greatest sincerity to Yanjiao. This condition makes it difficult for all senior officials of the Yanjiao tribe to refuse!
The elders, leaders, and witches of Yanjiao have all agreed to Yi Cong's conditions. As long as they don't do anything that is detrimental to Yanjiao's interests, they allow Yi Cong's son to live on Yanjiao's territory.
Yi Cong gave his son to Yi Si, who was standing next to him, "Please!"
On Yanjiao's territory, the only person who can truly reassure Yi Cong is Yi Si. Even if Yi Si leaves the Yi family, Yi Si is still the Yi family member, the main branch of the Yi family!
Yi Si reluctantly took over this "burden", and he felt that his life would not be more leisurely in the future. Being a nanny, you have to take care of the lives of eight slaves.
"Didn't you say you haven't named it yet? Have you thought of a name yet?" Yi Si asked.
A flash of light flashed in Yi Cong's eyes, like a firefly appearing in the dark night, and he said word by word: "Ce, my son is famous!"
Yi Si's eyelids jumped, staring at Yi Cong.
In the dictionary of the Yi family, policy is a stick.
What does Yi Cong's name mean
Who wants the rod, and who holds the rod
Yi Si felt that Yi Cong had played a big game of chess, not against Yanjiao, but against the Yi family!
What did Yi Cong see in the divination these days? Yi Si could never get an answer from Yi Cong.
After arranging Yi Ce and eight slaves, Yi Cong began to fulfill his promise to Yanjiao. Yi Cong knew that the more benefits he brought to Yanjiao, the better for Yi Ce to live in Yanjiao in the future. Just like Yi Si, he became an "ordinary person" living on the Yanjiao site.
Yi Cong didn't understand why he trusted Yanjiao's promise so much. Perhaps it was Shao Xuan's ancestor, Wuyin, who dispelled all his worries.
It is rumored that the ancestor of the Yi family was the first person who was taught how to control the fire by the "first ancestor". The fire of the Yi family was the second fire in the world that was controlled by humans! Therefore, in the fire of the Yi family, there will be the same white color as the fire of the ancestor!
For the next ten days, Yi Cong did not stop.
Yi Cong also informed Yanjiao about where to dig wells, where to build high-rise buildings, where to dig cellars, and even the serious natural disasters that may occur in a certain period of time in the future. For ten days and nights, even the people from Yanjiao advised him to rest first. Unfortunately, Yi Cong did not stop. He was like a torch that gave off the last light, trying to finish what he wanted to do before the fire burned out. .
However, when the manpower will eventually run out, ten days later, Yi Cong has changed from a young man with high spirits to an old man who is dying. Full of white hair and face like tree bark.
"You guys, will you fulfill your promise?" Yi Cong sat in a wooden house on the mountain arranged for him by the Yanjiao people and asked the Yanjiao people in the house.
"Yes." Gui He didn't say much, just answered seriously. He doesn't like Yi Cong, but he has to say that he still admires Yi Cong.
Yi Cong looked at Shao Xuan, and after seeing Shao Xuan nod, he seemed to be completely relieved.
Yi Cong's time is running out. He wants to talk to Yi Si in the last time.
When the Yanjiao people left the wooden house, Yi Cong said, "I have some understanding of Yi Xiang's approach."
Hearing this sentence suddenly, Yi Si looked over in surprise, not understanding how Yi Cong had such thoughts.
"The Yi family has been ill for a long time. It's ill from the root." Yi Cong's old voice said slowly. The Yi family is sick, and it is no longer the Yi family at its peak, so Yi Xiang is not rare, does not pay attention to it, and even wants to destroy it, regardless of the grudges that everyone has always thought. Since it's a bunch of trash, why not destroy it? This is probably Yi Xiang's idea. As for why Yi Xiang had waited until now, perhaps, he was also waiting for an opportunity.
In the Yi family, the main line and the branch line have gradually drifted apart, and the gap between ideas is getting bigger and bigger. This time, the main line has been severely damaged, and the people in the branch line will not miss this opportunity. They will enter a civil war and will be turbulent by external forces.
Before leaving the Yi family, Yi Cong saw a turbulent crisis. He Yi Cong, even if he is stuck in the bottleneck period, is still the best one in this generation of Yi family members!
However, between returning to Yi's house to participate in quelling the civil unrest and relocating Yi Ce, Yi Cong chose the latter.
"Ridiculous! Sad!"
Yi Cong himself did not expect that the safest place he found at last, the last retreat, turned out to be the Yanjiao tribe that the Yi family always looked down on!
The Yi family, who have always been known for their good eyesight, are so clumsy!
I don't know when it started, the Yi family has been blinded by the glitz and blinded! For petty profits, use the skills handed down from the ancestors to do some inferior calculations!
And Yi Si, who had no divination ability, was actually the smartest person in the Yi family. He was the first to avoid the storm circle, and when the storm formed, he left and found the safest place.
Clumsy eyes!
How clumsy!
"The ancestors measured the world, have they ever measured the current situation of the Yi family? I know that if it is not broken, it will be divided. The Yi family needs a new beginning."
Today's Yi family is like an old house in disrepair. It is protected from wind and rain and collapses at any time.
Yi Cong raised his fingers like dead branches and held Yi Ce's white and tender little hand.
"The Yi family's vision should not be just a mere royal city, nor should it stop at a piece of land. Just like the once brilliant ancestors of the Yi family, they should read all the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, observe the life and death of vegetation, water and stones, and observe the emptiness of heaven and earth! What the Yi family should look at is the world! It's the world!"
The roar that spared no effort, this was Yi Cong's last vent before his death, as if every word contained blood.
Yi Si also felt sad. How could he not know what the Yi family looks like now? If he wasn't too disappointed, how could he leave the tribe and come here from afar to seek survival
There were two lines of turbid tears on Yi Cong's withered face.
Using strategy as a stick, if he can wake up more people, he will not be in vain for all that he has done. His only regret is that that day will not be seen.
Yi Cong looked at Yi Si, "If possible, I hope he can follow that person."
"It's very difficult." Yi Si understood that what Yi Cong was talking about wanted Yi Ce to follow Shao Xuan, as recorded in the Yi family inheritance, the Yi family ancestor who first followed the ancestor and mastered the power of fire, the one closest to the ancestor. People are always the ones who make the most money. If the ancestors of the Yi family did not have the heart to dominate, the throne of Wangcheng might not belong to the Ji family!
"Do your best." Yi Cong said in a disappointed tone.
"If Yi Ce's talent is ordinary, how can he do what you expect?" Yi Si said. This is not his curse, but the talents of the Yi family are very different. Even if Lao Tzu is powerful, his son may not be very powerful, just like his grandfather and grandfather's grandfather are very powerful, but it is a pity that one generation is not as good as the previous one. Dad, but he is an ordinary person with ordinary talent. When he came to Yisi, he didn't even have the ability to divination at all. If he hadn't had some other skills, he would have starved to death. Yi Cong is a genius of their generation, but Yi Ce's talent is not necessarily the case. I can't see what the future will be like, even if Yi Si's ability to calculate is strong, he can't know Yi Ce's future.
"He can!" Yi Cong's eyes were firm.
Yi Si didn't know why Yi Cong was so sure, maybe Yi Cong saw something in the divination, or maybe it was Yi Cong's own obsession, he couldn't see it clearly and couldn't guess.
The more excellent each Yi family member is, the more abilities they have, and the more elusive they are. That's why, when people from outside the clan look at the Yi family, they all think that the Yi family is crazy.
Yi Cong didn't say any more, he took out his dead wood-like fingers from Yi Ce's small hands, and staggered towards the door of the wooden house. He refused the help of Zang and Hui Zou, and sat down against the door frame, looking at the man standing not far away. Shao Xuan.
He saw the figure behind Shao Xuan, the white figure that appeared with the ancestor Wuyin when he was fighting against Yi Xiang.
Yi Cong smiled and closed his eyes.
In the distance, the sun sets, and the tired birds return to their nests.
