Old Mali walked around anxiously in the room. Although the room is not big, there are only two bedrooms of more than ten square meters except the kitchen and the bathroom. Although the whole house does not even have a hall, it is enough for Mali and his wife Mai. If satisfied. After all, they had left the ghetto. Here, they can watch TV and have money to buy food that is not a nutritional supplement.
Anxiety has been in the hearts of Ma Li and Mai Ruo for three months. According to normal circumstances, their only son should have returned. But three months passed, but no news came. The communication in Ningding City is extremely underdeveloped, and it is almost isolated from the outside world. The money their benefactors gave them was only enough for basic living. They wanted to go to Zhongting City to find their son, but they couldn't afford the expensive fare. They can only wait, anxiously waiting.
Old Mali is fifty-seven years old this year, and Mai Ruo is also fifty-five years old. The old age that is difficult to see in the normal society of the Galactic Federation has appeared on them.
"Mali, I'm back." Mai Ruo's voice came with the sound of the door opening.
Mali walked over anxiously, looked at his wife and asked, "How is it?"
There was an unseen joy on Mai Ruo's face, "She agreed, the saint has promised to help us find our son. She said that she can find a communication tool to contact Zhongting City. Maybe, I mean maybe, tomorrow we will You can get news of your son."
Excitement also appeared on Mali's face, "Really? This is really great. The saint was given to us poor people by God, and I will thank her tomorrow."
"Who is the saint?" The voice Mali and Mai Ruo had been looking forward to rang in their ears. The two elders were shocked at the same time, and their eyes turned to the door. Tianhen closed the door, looking at his old parents, his eyes couldn't help getting wet, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Mai Ruo's tears flowed down uncontrollably. He walked up to Tianhen in a few steps, looked at the neat uniform on his son, and finally let go of his vacant heart, "Ahen, you are finally back. Do you know Know how worried we are. Why did you come back so late. Do you want to kill us?"
Tianhen put his arms around his mother's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Mom, I'm sorry, because some things in the college delayed my return time. However, I have already graduated and I am a top student." Tianhen knew that his father and mother cherished it very much. They have the opportunity to study at Zhongting Comprehensive College, and their good grades always make them happy.
Sure enough, smiles appeared on the faces of Mali and Mai Ruo, and Mali said: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, the road is hard, hurry up and go into the house."
Mai Ruo took out the juice that she had been reluctant to drink from a small refrigerator and handed it to her son, "You won't leave when you come back this time. Mom is really not used to the days without you by my side."
Ma Li's anxiety has long since disappeared, he laughed and said: "Honey, you are talking stupid things. Ah Hen has finally graduated, so naturally he has to work in a big city. We can also enjoy life with him and get rid of it completely." It's a slum."
Looking at his mother's disappointed eyes, Tianhen hurriedly said: "Mom, don't worry, even if you want to leave, I will accompany you for a few more days. Why don't you listen to me and practice more cosmic energy, you and Dad's Bai More hair."
Mai Ruo's eyes regained some light, "Silly boy, your dad and I are getting old, we just want to watch you grow up day by day. As for the cosmic energy, we have all practiced it, but we couldn't do it well. I just gave up. Did you come back by taking a public car? How many transfer stations do you need to go through from Zhongting City to our place?"
Tianhen was stunned for a moment, and he was very surprised when the two terms public car and transfer station came out of his mother's mouth. How could mother know about these things that do not belong to Ningding City? Have you ever said that before? But every time I come back, the time is very short. Although I have talked about some outside things, my parents are not very interested in those.
"Mom? How do you know there is a public car?" He asked the doubts in his heart.
Mai Ruo said proudly, "Of course I know it, and your father knows it too. Not only that, we are no longer poor people who didn't know anything before, and we know a lot about the outside world."
Tianhen seemed to understand something, smiled and said: "Mr. Damon must have told you."
Ma Li said: "No, the benefactor didn't say this. The one who taught us these things is the Holy Maiden. Tomorrow, you go to see her with me, and thank some people. Originally, I asked your mother to ask her for help today." Thanks to the help to Tianhen's family, Mali and Mai Ruo have always insisted on calling him a benefactor.
"Saint?" Tianhen heard this title for the second time, "Where did the saint come from?"
Mai Ruo sighed, and said, "The saint came to Ningding City not long after you left last time. God did not abandon us poor people, so she came. She taught us a lot of knowledge that we didn't know before, free of charge. Be our teacher, the people in the slums have regarded her like a fairy in ancient legends."
teach? teacher? Several questions arose in Tianhen's mind, could this "Saint" have the same thoughts as his own? But she did what she couldn't do. It is conceivable how difficult it is to teach the poor like a blank sheet of paper.
"Dad, are you saying that this saintly teacher has taught you a lot? But why would she do this?"
Mali said with some dissatisfaction: "There is no reason, the saint is only here to help us, she does not take any revenge, and we poor people have nothing worthy of her scheming. Her teachings are simple and easy to understand, maybe those are in your eyes. It is the most basic, but we are very interested in learning. The saint taught us many things, she told us that the poor are not useless, we can have our own world just like ordinary people. She will introduce new things One piece is brought to us, we want to thank her and praise her for everything she has done. Do you remember the slums before? At that time, everyone lived lifelessly, and many people were even looking forward to death But since the Holy Maiden came here, there has been no madness or suicide among the poor. Every day when the Holy Maiden lectures for us is the happiest time for us. We have expectations every day, and our life is no longer so boring."
Tianhen was stunned. In just one year, the slums had changed so much. Longing arose in his heart, he really wanted to meet this saint, and wanted to see why she had such a strong magical power that she could change the poor. What she brings to the poor is not only the hope of life, but also the vision of the future, and even faith!
Mai Ruo gave her husband a reproachful look, "My son just came back, why don't you let him rest for a while, why are you talking so much? Speaking of which, our family, Ahen, also walked out of the slums. Maybe, the saint is still here. Will you fall in love with Ahen, after all, our Ahen is so outstanding."
Tianhen looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, is this saint young?"
Mai Ruo nodded and said: "Of course, she looks about the same age as you, and she is very beautiful. Tomorrow you must go to meet the saint with your father. You also know a lot of things outside, maybe you will be the same as the saint. There is a common language."
Seeing his mother trying to match him, Tianhen couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly, but his curiosity about the "Saint" became stronger in his heart.
At night, Tianhen was meditating on cosmic qi in his room. Now that he had returned, he wanted to find the two streams of icy and cool air as soon as possible. Although he had a certain understanding of supernatural powers, he was not deep enough. It was hard He didn't want to lose the ability he got so easily.
The gentle cosmic gas is running normally in the body, and Tianhen completely concentrates on the brain, searching for it carefully. Perhaps it was because of his call that the cool air appeared, and my mind suddenly became clear, as if every nerve was nourished by the cool air. Heaving a sigh of relief, Tianhen carefully guided the cool air to run along with the cosmic air, but a strange scene appeared.
A violent feeling spread all over his body in an instant, and Tianhen suddenly felt that he was so eager for killing, and all negative emotions burst out in an instant, eroding his heart. The cold came into his body along with the clear flow.
Qingliu seemed to be very repulsed by the coldness, and the two different airflows began to attack each other. Surprisingly, Tianhen didn't feel any discomfort because of their pouring, only his emotions were greatly affected, and he returned to normal in a while, and in a while But full of hostility. Gradually, the two streams of air changed color, the clear stream turned white, and the ice cooled black. Black and white lights of different colors are constantly hostile to each other.
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Tianhen suddenly realized that if he continued like this, he would be unable to escape the end of destruction. The spirit broke free from the dispute between the two air currents and entered the cosmic air. Under the influence of the gentle cosmic air, the mind no longer Affected by those two air currents, the mind and heart are in harmony, feeling the comfort of being one with the heaven and the earth, and the movement of the cosmic air becomes faster.
At the beginning, the cosmic energy was completely controlled by Tianhen, but after a short time, Tianhen's thoughts had completely merged with the heaven and the earth. The cosmic energy in his body filled every corner of his body, whether it was a white clear stream The still black icy air is wrapped in cosmic air, and the cosmic air is so soft that it doesn't repel the two airflows, but only merges them.
The power of the white qi itself is stronger than that of the black qi. It was about to swallow the black qi, but the black qi was very domineering. It seemed that it was going to explode completely when the white qi swallowed it, but the intervention of the cosmic qi eased the two kinds of air currents. With the pouring out, they all have another attribute, the attribute of cosmic energy.
Black air and white air are like a pair of enemies, although they don't seem to have too deep hatred. And Cosmos Qi became the peacemaker to neutralize them. Divide the black air and the white air into two sides, the black air and the cosmic air merged and fell into Tianhen's dantian, and the white air and the cosmic air merged and rose into his mind. The conflict between the two airflows finally came to an end.
A light ding sound awakened Tianhen from the wonderful feeling of the fusion of heaven and earth, "Ability level, three, cosmic energy, second stage and third level." Blinking his eyes in surprise, Tianhen found that the sky outside was already bright, It's another day. One night, just one night, his cosmic energy unexpectedly reached a new level. The black and white qi that you feel in the haze really exist, and you only need to concentrate to discover them. Although the two are fused with the cosmic gas, they obviously don't want to coexist in this way. They are causing trouble in the brain and the dantian respectively, and the cosmic gas can only use the fusion to barely stop them.
Tianhen's eyes moved, and he tried to use the space system ability to summon a piece of clothing not far in front of him. However, he was horrified to find that he had failed. The space system ability has lost its effect as if it never existed.
Both the brain and the dantian felt tingling at the same time, the brain seemed to be torn by something, while the dantian became cold. Try to relax yourself, Tianhen dare not think about these two breaths anymore, because when he thinks of the white air in his mind, he will be full of anger, and when he thinks of the black air, killing will rise in his heart.
Cosmic Qi, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Tianhen concentrated his energy on the ubiquitous Cosmic Qi in his body, and the two negative emotions suddenly weakened a lot. Although the discomfort still exists, it is not so strong anymore.
Suddenly thought of something, Tianhen only felt that his body was like falling into an ice cellar. He knew very well, and it was confirmed by Liao En, that the current white qi, that is, the original clear flow, is the energy of the space system ability. However, what is the black energy that fights against it? Could it be, could it be the dark ability
Thinking of this possibility, Tianhen's heart trembled. Although he was calm, he could no longer remain calm when faced with his own conjectures. Liao En said that when a person has two kinds of abilities, there are only two situations that can happen. One is that the two abilities coexist without repelling, although the power will be stronger than that of the same level. , but it is very difficult to cultivate to level ten or above. The other situation is even more terrifying. When the two abilities are mutually exclusive, there is only one result, and that is to explode and die. My space ability and dark ability are already mutually exclusive, so I am going to die
In fact, Tianhen didn't know how lucky he was. The dark ability is definitely an anomaly in the entire world of abilities. It is an absolute mortal enemy to the power of the light department. If these two powers appear in the same body at the same time, there is no other possibility, and a violent explosion will occur immediately. At the same time, the dark abilities are also repelled by the four abilities of water, fire, earth, and wind. The four powers representing the power of nature will not compromise the dark powers. The space-type abilities are the most neutral among all the seven main abilities. Although they will not easily accept other abilities, they will not be too strongly repelled.
In fact, supernatural powers are all born with it, except for special geniuses like Lanlan who possess supernatural powers from birth, they all need to be guided by the day after tomorrow to appear. Tianhen's space system ability was guided to appear in an eager state of mind. And he himself also has the potential of dark abilities. When facing Lian Na again, the negative emotions in his heart finally led out the dark power hidden deep in it. Although the space ability will not absolutely exclude the dark ability, but it is not willing to have one more sharer in the main body it occupies, and the dark ability is more domineering, and naturally there will be a scene of mutual confrontation, but the relationship between them The confrontation is not strong. Even so, without three months of intensive training, Tianhen's body would have been unable to bear it.
"Ahen, get up and eat. Then I will take you to see the saint." Old Mali's voice sounded.
Tianhen only felt that his body was soaked in sweat, not because of pain, but more because of fear. The color in his life was just emerging, and he absolutely didn't want it to end there. Reluctantly got up, said: "Dad, I'll take a shower first, and then eat."
Under the stimulation of the hot water, Tianhen's body became much more comfortable, and the two different auras in his body gradually calmed down under the harmony of the cosmic qi. He breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that the matter was not over, but he could only stop thinking about it for the time being.
After eating a not-so-rich but exquisite breakfast, Tianhen said to his mother: "Mom, give me your ID card. When I graduated, because I was a top student, the college rewarded me with a thousand universe coins. You can keep it and use it." .”
Mai Ruo was taken aback, and said: "There is still a reward? One thousand is so much! Why didn't you return it to the benefactor."
Tianhen smiled bitterly and said: "I paid it back, but Mr. Damon doesn't want it. I have already thought about it. When I earn more, let's make up enough to pay back what we owe the teacher. With this thousand universe coins, it is enough for you and the elders It's been a year."
Ma Li said with a smile: "It's not just a year. We don't have anything to spend here. We only need to pay some house-related expenses. One thousand coins is enough for several years. It seems that my son will become more and more promising .”
Mai Ruo said: "Ah Hen, you don't need to transfer all of it to me, and keep some for yourself. You will need money to find a job in a big city in the future. Don't be hard on yourself, it's not easy to be outside alone."
Feeling the care of his mother, Tianhen's eyes became hot and he nodded.
Ma Li took Tian Hen out of the building where he lived, first went to the place where the card was swiped, passed the identity verification, and then transferred 800 coins to Mai Ruo, which was only 200 coins left by Tian Hen at Ma Li's repeated request.
On the surface, the slums looked the same as before, but when Tian Hen saw the poor, he found something different. The poor people in the past all looked empty-eyed and lifeless. Only some children could find some fun by themselves. But now it has completely changed. Everyone seems to be full of energy. Their eyes are full of joy and expectation, as if they are looking forward to something.
In the distance, Tianhen saw a high platform with a height of about 20 meters. With the high platform as the center, it was surrounded by poor people living around it, and their eyes were all looking up. Tianhen looked up, and saw a girl standing on the not-so-wide high platform, she was playing with the crude instrument on the high platform, it seemed to be something like a loudspeaker. Seeing this woman, Tianhen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, she was not as beautiful as his mother said, compared with his former girlfriend Lianna, or the unruly and willful Xuemei, she was much inferior. Fair skin, medium build, looks a bit thin, light blue hair fluttering slightly with her movements, her appearance is very ordinary, but there is always a faint smile on her face, the eyes in her eyes Even if the distance is so far away, Tianhen can still feel it.
Originally, Tianhen had thought about the girl's intentions, but when he really saw her, he dispelled this idea, it was the soft light in the girl's eyes that changed his opinion.
"Dad, is that the saint you mentioned on the stage?" Tianhen asked in a low voice.
Old Mali's eyes fell on the girl with admiration, "Yes! That's her. How is it? Isn't she beautiful?"
Just as Tianhen was about to say something, he heard the girl on the stage say: "Okay, we are about to start class. Please keep quiet, thank you." Her voice was as soft as her eyes, as warm as a warm spring breeze Everyone's heart was touched, and the surroundings suddenly became silent. The loudspeaker, which was not very effective, spread the soft business farther in a quiet environment.
Just as Tianhen wanted to listen carefully to what the girl would say, danger signals came from his brain and dantian at the same time. The pain that was several times more severe than in the early morning stimulated his nerves. Tianhen's face changed drastically, and he could not help but groan One sound, in a quiet environment, his voice was so obvious, it attracted some angry gazes from the poor, and in the light of gazes, there was also a soft and somewhat concerned gaze.
The severe pain stimulated every nerve in the body like a tide, Tianhen groaned in pain again, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Mali loves his son eagerly, so he hurried to hold his son's hand, and said anxiously: "Ahhen, what's wrong with you?" But a strange force came from Tianhen's hand, and he pushed him to the side.
How can Tianhen speak at this time, his face is pale, his whole body is convulsing constantly, he desperately wants to concentrate on contacting his cosmic energy, but he is horrified to find that he can no longer feel it except for the severe pain. anything. With the violent fluctuation of various energies in the body, the biological computer also appeared disordered, and the power level kept beating, changing back and forth from one to five.
His mind began to blur. Although Tianhen was afraid of Mali's worry, he tried his best not to let himself cry out, but when the irresistible pain came, how could he bear it
There was a trace of pity in the eyes of the saint on the stage, and she jumped down from the high platform like that, and her body glides down like a bird. If Tianhen sees her movement now, she will definitely recognize it. This is the most standard Fly.
"Uncle Mali, what's wrong with him? Is he suffering from a sudden illness?" The arrival of the saint made the surrounding people automatically flash into an open space.
At this time, Mali was already sweating profusely. When he saw the saint, he immediately seemed to have found a savior. I don't know what happened to him."
"No wonder I haven't seen him come to class before." The saint said as she stepped forward a few steps and walked in front of Tianhen. Squat down and reach out to press Tianhen's forehead. At this moment, Tianhen's eyes opened, just meeting the soft eyes of the saint. The bodies of the two trembled at the same time, and what Tianhen saw was the endless depth, the soft and warm feeling, just like when he was fused with the sky and the earth. But what the saint saw was Tianhen's two completely different eyes, one black and one white. Black and white appeared at the same time, interweaving into a strange picture. The impact brought by that feeling was unprecedented.
The convulsions of Tianhen's body suddenly weakened when the saint's hand pressed his forehead, because, just as he was looking at the saint, the cosmic breath in his body was aroused by the saint's soft eyes, and finally met with the saint. The spirits reconnected. Using the mind to control the cosmic energy to suppress the darkness and the power of space, the pain naturally weakened a lot.
The saint's body trembled constantly, and through the feeling from her hand, she clearly realized that her judgment was correct. Complicated emotions were revealed in her always soft eyes, she stared deeply at Tianhen, as if hesitating for something.
"Saint, what happened to my son?" Old Mali asked anxiously.
The saint woke up from her confusion, sighed softly, and said, "Uncle Mali, your son is indeed suffering from a sudden illness, please carry him to me, and I will try my best to help him."
Not only Mali was stunned, but even the poor people around were also stunned. In their hearts, this saint who brought them hope of life was so pure and inviolable. The saint lived in a slum, and the place where she lived was worshiped by the poor like a holy temple. Absolutely no poor people dared to go there easily, lest they would disturb and desecrate the Holy Maiden. They never thought that the Holy Maiden would ask Old Mali to send Tianhen to her place of residence. Although most people were dissatisfied, their reverence for the saint became more pious. Tianhen's judgment is right. Here, what the saint brings is faith. For people who are empty of soul, the role of faith is endless.
Mali looked at the saint hesitantly, "Saint, is this really okay?"
The saint smiled and nodded, "Don't delay any longer, bring him with me, my place is quieter." Turning to the poor people around, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, due to the sudden illness of this gentleman, today The class will stop first. Please forgive me.” She was always so humble, and the poor people around her looked at her without any impurities. The poor expressed their support for the Holy Maiden's actions with their actions, and they quietly stepped aside a road leading to the Holy Maiden's residence.
Tianhen's weight is not light, and Lao Mali's physical condition is average. It is really difficult to carry his son. Most of the poor people around him recognize him. After being influenced by the saint, they all know that helping is a virtue.
With the help of three young poor people, Tianhen was carried to the residence of the saint. The Holy Maiden actually lives in the middle of the slums, and her place is no different from others, except for a simple bed, there is not even a table. But at this time, Tianhen also occupied the only bed.
The saint said to Mali and the others: "Please wait outside, I need to be quiet when I save him."
Mali and the others had only blind trust in the saint, agreed, and hurriedly retreated outside. The saint closed the door gently, turned her back to the sky mark on the bed, and said indifferently: "I know you can act now, shall we talk now?"
Tianhen is indeed able to act. On the way to the saint's residence, the cosmic energy finally calmed down the fluctuations of the two supernatural powers of darkness and space. When he lay on the bed of the saint, he had already recovered all consciousness .
The faint and pure fragrance came into Tianhen's nose. He had never smelled such a pure smell. Although his body and mind were refreshed, he didn't know why there was a feeling of extreme disgust from the dark breath in Dantian.
Sitting up from the bed, Tianhen looked at the slender back of the saint and said, "Thank you."
The saint turned around slowly, the light in her eyes was still so gentle, "Thank me for what? I didn't do anything for you."
Looking at her soft eyes, Tianhen felt calm in his heart, and said with a smile: "It is your feeling of blending into the universe that infected me, so that I can suppress the abnormality in my body. So, of course I want to thank you. My parents said very Yes, you are the most beautiful, your beauty is unmatched by any ordinary person. From your eyes, I can even see your pure heart without a trace of blemish."
The saint didn't change because of Tianhen's praise, sighed lightly, and said: "I just want to help those in need. But, do you know? From the day you and I were born, it means that we are opposites. of."
Tianhen was taken aback, frowned and said: "Why do you say that? Why should I oppose you?"
The saint smiled lightly and said: "You should have been born on May 31st, 315th year of the cosmic calendar. And I was born because of you, I was born on May 31st, 316th year of the cosmic calendar. "
"No, I think you made a mistake. I was indeed born in 315, but the date was June 3, not May." Tianhen looked at the saint, and he suddenly felt that everything about him seemed It was as if she had seen through it all.
The saint stepped forward a few steps and walked in front of Tianhen. Her height was only as high as Tianhen's nose. Although she was relatively tall among girls, she looked so thin and petite standing in front of Tianhen.
"I didn't expect that we would meet so soon. You really made it difficult for me to make a choice."
Listening to the inexplicable words, Tianhen's doubts increased greatly, "Why do you say that? Is there anything you need to choose?"
