Another groan sounded, which was so familiar to Xuan Yue's ears. She looked blankly into the darkness where the sound came from, and asked tentatively, "Brother Dumb, are you there?"
Duan gradually woke up, feeling dizzy and extremely sad, and heard Xuan Yue's voice subconsciously said: "Brother, it's me, where are we?"
Xuan Yue sighed and said, "I'm afraid we were imprisoned."
Dumb's consciousness gradually recovered, and he remembered everything that had happened before. At that time, when the four elders of the Yajin tribe yelled the first word "Lin", the four of them felt a pain in the brain at the same time, as if being bombarded by a giant hammer. All the nerves in their bodies were stimulated, and their mental strength was shaken unprecedentedly. They couldn't control their bodies at all, let alone attack, and could only resist with willpower. Afterwards, every word the four elders of the Yajin clan uttered would violently attack their spiritual origin, and they were already limited to passiveness and could not make effective resistance at all. Oliveira's mental power was the weakest among the four. Although he was protected by the wind god's staff, his own mental power was a little weaker after all, and he passed out at the first word of the four elders. Keanu has reached the level of a mage, but he only lasts until the second word. If Ah Dui hadn't relied on the blood of the dragon and the sword of Pluto, it would be impossible to persist to the sixth word. The confidence that Duan had just built was completely destroyed by the four elders in the previous battle, and he said decadently: "We can't even resist a few words, brother, do you know what method they used to restrain us?" ?”
Xuan Yue sighed, and said: "If my guess is right, it should be taboo soul magic. It seems that these so-called lost techniques still exist on the mainland like space magic!"
Dumb asked suspiciously: "Soul magic? What is that?"
Xuan Yue explained: "As the name suggests, soul magic is to directly attack the opponent's soul. No matter how powerful your skill is, once your soul is lost, you can only be slaughtered. The mental power of the four old guys may not be better than us, but Their application of spiritual power has reached the point of proficiency. Through the vibration of the sound, it arouses the resonance of our spiritual field, and then destroys our will through sharp mental power, making us lose consciousness and completely lose the ability to resist. I can feel that their Spiritual power can instantly transform into various forms and attack through various channels. How can we resist with the strength of four people? However, this kind of magic is very dangerous. Once they cannot control the opponent's soul, they will be severely injured. If it is serious, it will make my mental strength completely disappear and become an idiot. I think, when I passed out, they should almost be unable to hold on. Brother, can you still use fighting energy now?"
After hearing Xuanyue's explanation, Dumb's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He had practiced hard for so many years, but he didn't expect to be defeated without any force at all. He tried to push the golden body in his dantian, but just as soon as his mind moved, he felt violently. The pain suddenly spread from the brain to the whole body, and he let out a cry of pain, and his body convulsed continuously.
Xuanyue knew without asking, that Ah-Dai was experiencing the same thing as herself, and she couldn't help feeling a little hopeless in her heart. It might be difficult to fall into such a dead end. "Brother, don't try it. Our spiritual power seems to be sealed by them. Apart from simple thinking and talking, we have lost control of our bodies. Unless the caster personally removes this spiritual seal, there is no way to do it."
The pain gradually subsided, and Ah-Dai panted heavily, "Could it be that they can't deal with it? Isn't the Yajin tribe invincible in the world. What's the use of my hard-working martial arts?"
Xuan Yue shook her head, and said: "They may not be invincible, nor can they be dealt with. If Grandpa was there that day, they would have no chance at all. Grandpa's spiritual power is as unfathomable as the ocean. How can they be shaken?" Even if it is us, we may not lose. The main reason for our failure that day was that we had no preparations in advance, and we had never seen this kind of soul magic attack. We were led by the nose as soon as we came up, and our hearts were shocked. Then Although the four old guys are very good at controlling mental power, their bodies are very weak due to long-term cultivation in the spiritual realm, as long as we can attack once, they will probably return to the underworld."
Dumb sighed: "But, do we really have a way to attack?"
Xuan Yue said firmly: "Yes. As long as we prepare in advance and immediately close our five senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body when they first attack, we will not be affected by mental power. It is impossible to close the sixth sense, but with our mental strength, it should be okay to hold on to the few remaining mental shocks. With our instinctive thoughts, we definitely have a chance to win."
Dumb's eyes lit up, then dimmed in an instant, and said with a wry smile: "It's too late to say anything now, we have been completely subdued, all magic weapons are useless, and we can only be slaughtered."
Xuan Yue sighed, and just about to say something, there were two other groans in the room, Xuan Yue knew that it must be Oliveira and Keanu who woke up. Sure enough, Oliveira's weak voice sounded: "W-Where is this? My head hurts!"
Xuan Yue said: "This is the cell where we are imprisoned, Brother Vera, don't try to use force, it will be very miserable."
Keanu's voice sounded, "Ah! We, are we locked up? Why is this happening? My head hurts too. Those old men are so powerful! I passed out without knowing what was going on."
Xuan Yue explained to them the matter of soul magic, and after listening to Xuan Yue's narration, the stone prison fell into silence. After a long while, Oliveira said helplessly: "Then we are going to be locked up here forever? Now that they have caught us, why didn't they kill us? Could there be another purpose? Could it be that the patriarch Natiya was reluctant Killing us so easily, do you want to humiliate and humiliate first?"
Xuanyue said: "The human body needs mental control. Once the mental power is blocked, nothing can be done. All our offensive and defensive tools are based on mental power. Even the fighting spirit of Dumb Brother has no spirit It is impossible to play the role of force. Now we have to wait and see what the Yajin tribe is going to do to us. Since they did not kill us, it proves that we still have a chance. There is hope for people to live in the future, everyone must do it Don't give up, just wait for the opportunity." She just said here, suddenly there were dense footsteps outside the stone prison, and the hearts of the four tensed, Xuan Yue said in a low voice: "Lie down and pretend to be dizzy, and see what they want to do to us. So." After speaking, he quickly lay down on the dry grass and closed his eyes. Although she was facing a desperate situation, she was still able to maintain her composure. This was the benefit of practicing sacred light magic.
The ear-piercing voice of "Zhihuya" sounded, and a thick stone door opened on the right side of the airtight stone prison, and dim light came in from the outside. With the help of the dim light, Ah-Dai narrowed his eyes, and saw Xuanyue was not far beside him, and Oliveira and Keanu were on the other side. A total of five people walked in from the outside, and seeing the four tall and somewhat hunched figures, Dumb's heart was shocked. It was the four elders and patriarch Tiya of the Yajin tribe who came. Tia held an oil lamp in her hand, from which the dim light came.
The Great Elder Tian Luo looked at the four people lying on the ground and smiled slightly, and said, "I know you are awake, get up, it's time for us to have a good talk."
The four of them did not move, and still maintained their original postures. Tianluo supported his old body with a wooden stick, and said: "Your mental power is blocked by us, and I can clearly feel all mental fluctuations. Get up!" , I am not malicious."
Xuan Yue was the first to sit up. She was surprised to find that she seemed to be able to control her body a little bit. Since the other party could feel her mental fluctuations, there was no point in pretending. Staring at the four elders with resentment in her beautiful eyes, she said in a hateful voice: "You can kill or cut as you please, but don't try to humiliate us."
Elder Tianluo glanced at Tiya, and said, "I know that there are powerful forces behind you, but we are not afraid. No one will know that you are imprisoned by our Yajin clan." He stared at Looking at Xuanyue, she paused for a moment before continuing: "We've already figured out the whole story. This conflict was completely caused by a misunderstanding. So, I'm not going to make it difficult for you. Please don't be nervous."
Hearing what he said, Duan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "So, are you willing to let us go?" He was a little puzzled. The Yajin tribe would let themselves and others be released when they had such an advantage. Could it be that they were not afraid? revenge
Elder Tianluo said: "Yes, we are willing to let you go. But some things need to be clarified first. Lord Patriarch." He whispered to Tiya.
Tiya's delicate body shook, she took a few steps forward holding the oil lamp, and walked to the side of Elder Tianluo. Against the dim light of the oil lamp, her beautiful delicate face had a hazy feeling. Bending down, said lightly: "I was too impulsive before, please forgive me."
The four dumb people were all startled, and the Yajin tribe's refusal made them full of doubts. Dumb was pure-hearted, and seeing that the other party had apologized, he murmured: "We also made mistakes, and we shouldn't have destroyed the gate of Andis City."
Elder Tianluo smiled and said: "Since the misunderstanding has been clarified, there will be no hatred between you and me. As for the matter of the East City Gate, your spiritual power was blocked by us and you have suffered a lot, so let's forget it." .” His understatement of a sentence, everything before was exposed. Among the four, Xuanyue was the calmest. She clearly understood that the reason why the elder of the Yajin clan was so talkative must be to ask the four of her for help. "With the previous analysis of soul magic, as long as the restriction is lifted, the Yajin tribe will no longer be able to control the four of them. In that case, the initiative will be in their own hands again.
Elder Tianluo's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate the heart were fixed on Xuanyue, and an old voice sounded from the bottom of her heart: "Little girl, don't worry, if what I said is right, your name should be Xuanyue. You Yichai Erbian, your friends probably don’t know about it, right? You should have a very close relationship with that boy named Dumb.”
Xuan Yue was taken aback, and lost her voice: "How do you know?"
Elder Tianluo said seriously: "I will release the restrictions on you, but before I release the restrictions, I want to tell you one thing. Two years ago, I received a letter from the Prophet Pulin of the Puyan tribe He mentioned a lot in the letter, especially about the savior, and I probably guessed your identities, which is why I didn't embarrass you. Prophet Prin and the four of us have had friendship for many years, I absolutely believe in his divination, so I don't want you to be hostile to our Yajin tribe, not only are we not your enemy, but we should be allies standing in the same trench as you."
Dumb was taken aback, and said, "Do you know Prophet Purin?" Among the people he knew, Prophet Purin was one of the people he respected the most. Whenever he remembered that he was willing to divination at the cost of his own vitality for the sake of his people, Duan would respect him sincerely. Hearing that the four elders knew Pulin, the hidden hostility in their hearts suddenly weakened a lot.
Xuan Yue had already succumbed when the great elder revealed her identity as a girl. Since Ah-Dai rejected her that day, she had decided that unless Ah-Dai changed her mind, she would never let him know her identity, and said indifferently: " It turns out that you are a friend of Prophet Purin. It seems that there is a misunderstanding. My sister Xuanyue and brother Dumb have been taught by Prophet Purin together. Don’t worry, we will no longer be enemies of the Yajin tribe. .I am willing to swear in the name of the gods."
The Great Elder naturally heard Xuan Yue's reluctance to reveal her true identity, and said with a smile: "This is the best, but you don't need to swear, I trust you. Well, you will relax your whole body and keep your mind on the Lingtai. I will lift the spiritual blockade for you now." As he said that, he and the other three elders closed their eyes at the same time, and drew a complicated trajectory with their right hand in the air to form a handprint on their chest, "Solution—" "Solution—"" Solution—""Solution—" Four old and deep voices sounded, and they were heard by the four dumb people, as shocking as morning bells and evening drums, and the four people's bodies shook violently at the same time, and a clear stream of air flow wandered in their minds like a divine enlightenment , The drowsiness and fuzziness in his mind gradually disappeared under the action of the airflow. They found that they had regained control over their bodies. Dumb's body was the strongest, and he stood up from the ground, tentatively urging the second golden body in his dantian, and the white body came out through his body. Power has been restored.
Xuan Yue, Oliveira, and Keanu also stood up. The mental blockade had just been lifted, and they still looked very tired. The Great Elder said: "I'm really sorry to wrong you here, please come with us." After saying that, the Four Great Elders and Tiya turned around and walked out of the stone house together. Xuan Yue used her mental power to tell Oliveira and Keanu not to be impulsive because of the previous incident, and to wait to see what the four elders had to say before making any plans.
Dumb and Xuanyue looked at each other, they both had a feeling of being reborn, took a deep breath, and walked out behind the four elders. While walking, Duan asked Xuanyue through voice transmission, "Brother, do you think what these four elders said is true? Will they really know Prophet Prin?"
Xuan Yue nodded slightly, "It should be true, otherwise they would never have mentioned Prophet Prin and pointed out that you are the savior. Only Prophet Prin, his sister, and people in our Holy See know about this. Since they are so You are welcome, it seems that we are asking for something, let’s go and see what they want to do, for the sake of Prophet Prin, let’s forget about the previous things." She is not a person who cares about everything, not to mention that the Great Elder already knows that she is Yi Rong's, in order to keep this secret, it is even more impossible to conflict with the other party now.
Duan didn't want to be an enemy at first, so he nodded with a smile after listening to Xuanyue's words, and said via voice transmission: "Okay, I'll listen to you, anyway, my skills have recovered, and I won't give them the chance to use soul magic to sneak attack again." While recovering his skills, he has already used his true energy to condense around the acupoints where the spiritual power is located between the eyebrows. Even if the four elders attack again, he is sure to hit him twice. It only takes a short time for him to be sure to let the The Fourth Elder could no longer use his mental power to harm the four of his side.
Everyone walked along a long corridor for a cup of tea, and a stone step appeared in front of them. Tiya walked in the front. She led everyone to the top of the stone step, opened the thick stone door, and let everyone out . The outside world is night, and the fresh air blows in. Dui feels an unprecedented sense of comfort, and it feels so good to be free again!
There was no expression on Tiya's pretty face. While leading the way, she said lightly, "This is my mansion, let's talk in the living room."
The patriarch's mansion is just an ordinary large courtyard without too many decorations. There are only a few tall ancient trees in the courtyard. Brings a sense of tranquility. Every ten meters or so, there will be a guard of the Yajin tribe. Although they are on duty at night, they are all full of energy. Dumb can clearly feel their not weak strength from the breath on them. Xuan Yue tightened the angel's staff that she had been holding in her hand. After the short time she came out of the stone prison, she found that her magic cultivation had recovered by about 80%. many.
Tiya led the crowd to the hall of the mansion. The hall was decorated in an antique style. On the wall facing the gate was a misty landscape painting. Under the painting were two large rattan chairs. The rattan chairs In the center is a coffee table with a copper incense burner on it. On both sides below the main seat, there are eight wicker chairs arranged neatly, and in the middle of every two wicker chairs, there is an identical small wooden table. This is where the Yajin people discuss their affairs. Tiya walked to the front seat, put the oil lamp in her hand next to the incense burner, and made a gesture of invitation to the four dumb people and the four elders, "Everyone, please sit down."
The four elders sat on the right, and the four of them sat facing each other, and Tiya took the main seat. She patted her palms lightly twice. Two maids came in from the back of the hall carrying trays, apparently well prepared. They put a cup of tea beside each of them. The seven-day coma made the four of them already hungry and thirsty, and they were not polite. They picked up the teacup in their hands and opened the lid on it, and a tangy fragrance came. The amber dew that I drank in Jinyulou before.
Tiya said: "This is the amber dew produced by Jinyulou. It has the effect of nourishing vitality. I have wronged you these days. Please use it casually. It will be good for your health."
After drinking a cup of amber, under the nourishment of the warm heat, Ah-Dai and the others immediately felt much more comfortable. It was the first time for Keanu to drink such a delicious thing, and his eyes couldn't help showing a look of surprise, as if he still couldn't get enough of it.
Xuan Yue put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Elder Tianluo, and said, "You can talk about anything now."
Elder Tianluo nodded slightly, and winked at Tiya. Tiya took a deep breath. She was very surprised when she learned about the identities of Duan and others from Elder Tianluo. Until now, she was still a little agitated. She bowed slightly and said, "Apologize again to everyone. I'm too capricious, please forgive me."
Xuanyue said: "Everything has passed. For the sake of the Prophet Pulin of the Puyan tribe, we won't care about it anymore. Besides, you didn't kill us, and you have already shown mercy."
Tiya looked at Xuanyue, and a strangeness flashed in her beautiful eyes. Elder Tianluo didn't tell her that Xuanyue was a woman. Until now, she still regarded Xuanyue as a handsome priest of the Holy See. Xuanyue's strong strength when confronting the four elders before left a deep mark in her heart, especially his strength that he was still unwilling to give in to the end made Tiya feel admiration, she slightly With a smile, he said: "The main reason for inviting you to come is to discuss something. I think you also know that the rise of our Yajin tribe is very short. Thousands of years ago, my ancestors were originally nobles of the Tianjin Empire. In the land of the Yajin tribe, after generations of continuous efforts, the Yajin tribe finally has the scale it is today. I heard Elder Tianluo say that in the near future, the mainland will face a catastrophe that will affect the entire human race, which shocked me , as a member of mankind, we Yajin people are very willing to do our part to save the catastrophe. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, we will support you without reservation. I hope you can accept it. What I want to say is That's all."
Xuan Yue frowned slightly. Although Tiya said it lightly, she could tell from the other party's words that the matter was not that simple, and asked, "Is this unconditional help?"
Tiya nodded and said: "Yes, it is unconditional help. We also know a thing or two about the Puyan tribe. I feel very sympathetic to their tragic experience. I discussed it with the four elders. We will be like the Puyan tribe. I support you, Tianyuan Continent is the homeland of our human beings, as long as there is a trace of blood, they will not be willing to see it baptized by catastrophe. I not only hope that the Yajin people can reproduce smoothly, but also hope that the entire human society Stay prosperous and stable. Please accept our sincerity."
Duan looked at Tiya's sincere gaze, and his heart was agitated. Although he had never regarded himself as a savior, he felt a sense of enthusiasm at this time, "The patriarch of Tiya, Prophet Prin once said that the millennium catastrophe of the mainland It is inevitable, since you are so sincere, how can we not accept it? Although our strength is low, if something really happens, we will definitely go all out."
Elder Tianluo said: "Dumb, our meaning is very clear. We just hope that you can remember that our Yajin tribe will always be your allies, and that's enough. Don't underestimate yourself too much. The strength is enough to fight against anyone. The four of us won very dangerously that day. If you persist for a moment, we will be the ones to collapse. You are still young and there is still a lot of room for growth. If you have time in the future, you must Pay more attention to spiritual cultivation. I know that behind the four of you are the Holy See, the Tiangang Sword Sect, the Mainland Magician Union, and the Tianjin Magician Union. I want to remind you that when you encounter problems that you cannot solve, The power behind you will be the biggest help, and you must be good at using it, so that you can gather a powerful force to help mankind survive the catastrophe. Well, that's all we have to say, you have already spent a lot of time in the Yajin tribe, Now you can leave, and no one will stop you."
Xuan Yue stood up, pondering Elder Tianluo's words carefully in her heart. Until now, she finally felt the horror of the millennium catastrophe. Since she was a child, she has never been interested in the political affairs of the Holy See. Even if Prophet Prin said that she and Dumb will be the savior of the mainland, and she didn't care too much about it, but at this moment she suddenly realized that the life of herself and Dumb was not that simple, maybe it was really destined by God to save the human beings on the mainland. Waiting in front of them, as Prophet Purin said, there will be many barriers. Can I and Duan really successfully cross it
The four elders and Tiya personally sent them to the door of the living room. Elder Tianluo said: "When I leave, I will give you a word to let nature take its course and improve your cultivation. God's will cannot be violated, and no one can stop it from happening." No, you have to keep improving yourself, and you will have the strength to resist when disaster strikes. Don’t be complacent, you still have a long way to go. Xuan Ri, if you see the Pope, please replace us four old guys Say hello to him, and say that the four souls still miss him. We are old, and I am afraid we will not have the chance to see him in the future."
Xuan Yue looked at the four mysterious old men in front of her, and her heart was ups and downs. Not only did they know the Prophet Prin, but they even knew their grandfather, the Pope. It seemed that they must have been powerful figures on the mainland in the past. She couldn't help asking: "Elder, how did you recognize that we are the people Prophet Purin said? Is it just because I am a priest?"
Elder Tianluo smiled slightly, and said: "The combination of good and evil, the unity of light and darkness, guided by the blood of the phoenix, passed through many barriers, bound by the blood of the dragon, love will live forever. When you are bound by our soul When the mantra was attacked, the blood of the dragon and the blood of the phoenix exposed your identities, you should understand now."
Xuanyue suddenly realized, and bowed slightly: "Four elders, take care, we are leaving first, and I will ask you about soul magic when I have a chance."
Duan respected the four strong men in front of him who could defeat him, and bowed together with Xuanyue. They just turned to leave, but they heard Tiya's call, "Wait a minute." Flashing out from behind, she walked up to Xuanyue, her pretty face flushed slightly, she took out a dagger from her arms and handed it to Xuanyue, lowering her head and whispering: "This dagger was given to me by the teacher. Are you Magician, use it for self-defense." The beautiful eyes flowed, and the ruler who controlled nearly ten million members of the Yajin tribe showed infinite shyness on his face.
Xuan Yue took the dagger subconsciously. Before she understood what Tiya meant, she smiled and said, "Sister, thank you. We will definitely come back to see you when we have a chance in the future." She didn't see herself as a woman, just Treat Tiya's behavior as a gift from a friend. Duan on the side was secretly happy for "Xuan Ri", the patriarch of the Yajin clan, was completely worthy of his brother.
Under the watchful eyes of Tiya and the four elders, the four of them disappeared into the night. Tiya's eyes flickered with a bewildered look, and Xuanyue's handsome appearance was in her eyes for a long time. It was the first figure to enter her heart. Elder Tianluo trembled slightly when he saw Tiya's appearance. He, who was old in accidents, of course knew that Tiya had misunderstood Xuanyue's identity. But he didn't explain, he believed in the destiny, and thought that the gods were free to make decisions in the dark, and sighed secretly, let them go with the flow. Thinking of this, he said, "Master Patriarch, we'll go back first as we're done here." After speaking, the fourth elder saluted Tiya slightly, then turned and walked towards his residence. They have been living in a hidden corner of the patriarch's mansion.
Tiya came back to her senses, turned around and walked into the room. The agitation in her mind gradually calmed down, and she whispered: "Senior brothers, you can come out now."
Lian Dan and Zhu Yuan strolled out, staring at their little junior sister with smiles on their faces. Tiya was a little uneasy when they looked at her, and two red clouds rose again on her pretty face, and said angrily: "Senior brother, why are you looking at him like this?" She looked more and more coquettish in her shyness, and even Shan and Zhu Yuan looked a little shocked.
Lian Dan laughed and said: "We are just looking at what the little junior sister who has found love has become! Well, junior junior sister, you have a good eye, that young man named Xuan Ri is definitely worthy of you. Such a young man I haven’t even heard of the magister before. If you combine with him and have the last shield as powerful as the Holy See, the Yajin tribe will not have to worry.”
Tiya's pretty face was flushed, and she lowered her head and murmured: "Elder brother, you hate La, why are you making fun of him? I, I didn't..."
