Chapter 355: Repaying the King's Grace

The Heavenly Eye shot out a crimson beam of light, falling silently on Zhang Sheng.

The sword light, the immortal sword, and even the person holding the sword were disintegrating inch by inch.

Inside and outside the domain, above and below the firmament, countless gazes watched Zhang Sheng's body disintegrate and turn into ashes of calamity, and then a white lotus bloomed at his feet, making his body turn from virtual to real, reborn between heaven and earth.

In a deep and incomprehensible space, a roar of extreme anger and extreme regret suddenly sounded: "Filthy Bai Lian!"

This matter has a great cause and effect with him, and it is the time when the great curse is in the world and the heavenly machine is manifested, so Xu Wangu, who looks like a young immortal, instantly calculated the origin of the Filthy Bai Lian.

He couldn't imagine that the supreme treasure he dreamed of was actually by his side, and he couldn't accept that he had missed it just like that!

For a moment, he wanted to rush out of this space and erase all the people and things related to it from the world to vent the anger in his heart. However, as long as he leaves here, the causal great curse will descend.

To get to where he is today, he has done too many things and can no longer bear a trace of extra cause and effect at this time.

Only then did he have a faint feeling that there is something called "seeking but not getting" in the world, which turned out to be the previous cause he planted himself.

The reborn Zhang Sheng did not escape the crisis. The crimson beam of light shot by the Heavenly Eye still fell on him, instantly making him virtual again.

Wei Yuan was anxious, but the remaining fire on his body made his consciousness and vision begin to blur. He burned everything that could be burned in the ten thousand li of rivers and mountains and flew into the sky!

The shadow in the moon had been sleeping under the influence of some force until it was awakened at this moment.

A bird head suddenly appeared in the full moon, opened its mouth and sucked, instantly swallowing all the luck in the ten thousand li of rivers and mountains!

A huge three-eyed bird head faintly appeared above Wei Yuan's head, and three eyes shot out three completely different lights, cutting three cracks in the blood-colored firmament.

In an instant, Wei Yuan instinctively knew that the cracks were where the vitality was, but the feeling of the three cracks was completely different, as if they led to different worlds.

At this time, he had no time to think, and had no strength to think. He hugged Zhang Sheng and threw himself into one of the cracks, disappearing.

The Heavenly Eye suddenly lost its target, blinked, and confusion appeared in its pupils.

At this time, heaven and earth shook, and the normal sky came from all directions, squeezing the blood-colored firmament. The Heavenly Eye lost its target and could not resist the power of heaven and earth, and finally disappeared after flickering a few times.

At this moment, Yu Zhizhuo sat in the blast furnace, resisting the pale fire with furnace fire. As the pale fire suddenly disappeared, the furnace fire burned him with a scream, and he rushed out of the furnace heart.

Sun Yu fell to the ground, with large chunks missing from his body, looking extremely terrifying. He took out a handful of medicinal powder with his only remaining hand, then tore open the already crystallized wound and sprinkled the medicinal powder on it.

Feng Tingyu waved her long knife, constantly shaving off thin layers of skin and flesh from her arms and thighs. The flesh was burning with pale fire, turning into ash when it hit the ground. But no matter how she shaved, the pale fire would always burn again in the same position after burning the flesh. But her muscles twitched and grew at an astonishing speed, and the wound could only expand slowly.

But as she shaved, the pale fire suddenly went out. Feng Tingyu was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.

Darkness.

This was the first feeling Wei Yuan picked up again.

Besides darkness, the surroundings were very strange. Wei Yuan only felt one hand and one foot cold, as if soaked in ice water, cold enough to be unbearable. At this time, only parts of his body were warm, but many parts of his body had no feeling at all, as if they didn't exist.

This feeling had never happened before. Wei Yuan had achieved success in Body Forging, and he had controlled his whole body to a subtle level long ago, integrated into one, so how could there be parts he couldn't sense?

Wei Yuan tried to move, but his body was unexpectedly stiff and heavy, full of dead Qi everywhere, only a little fire of vitality in the deepest part.

Wei Yuan tried to touch his left chest, but it was empty, a blank space in his perception. His hand was a bit disobedient, and he didn't put it in the correct position twice, and then the third time he finally felt the place was right, but he didn't touch anything: his chest was empty, there was nothing!

Where is my heart?

Wei Yuan wanted to get up and take a look, but when he moved, he found that his eyes were still black. He slowly raised his hand and touched the cloth strip covering his eyes.

Wei Yuan's hand moved, but he didn't take off the cloth strip in the end. He knew that it would be useless even if he took it off; he couldn't sense his eyes now either.

It doesn't matter if there is no heart, dead people don't need a heart. Wei Yuan comforted himself.

At this time, a burst of fine footsteps went away, and then someone opened the door. The moment the door opened, a cold wind attacked, which immediately made Wei Yuan shiver.

The footsteps reached the bedside, and a pleasant and cold voice asked: "You're awake?"

"Where is this? Am I... dead?" As soon as the voice came out, Wei Yuan was startled himself. His voice was hoarse and vague, not his usual voice at all.

"We are a small village isolated from the world, and no outsiders have come for many, many years. In the past, the village elders said we were some kind of remnant tribe, but the village elder who knew the most passed away last winter, so no one remembers where we came from. As for you, you shouldn't be dead yet, but you're almost there."

"How did I get here?"

"A few days ago, heaven mourned, and it kept raining blood from the sky, and you suddenly fell down. Oh, you've been in a coma for three days."

"Was I the only one who fell?"

"Only you."

Wei Yuan's heart trembled. Where is the teacher?

"What happened to my eyes?"

The woman hesitated for a moment and said: "You... are already blind."

Wei Yuan had already expected it and asked again: "Are my left hand and left leg still there?" "They are, but the injuries are very heavy. In fact, everyone in the village said you wouldn't survive, and there was no need to waste firewood and grain. But I felt that although you were a bit broken, you hadn't stopped breathing yet, so I tried to save you. Anyway, if you couldn't be saved, the things on you would be mine. But I really didn't expect you to be able to wake up."

So I'm still alive... Wei Yuan slowly sensed his sea of consciousness, and after a tearing pain, he finally appeared on the ten thousand li of rivers and mountains.

At this time, the land was dead silent, and there were several huge rift valleys in the distance, almost dividing the entire continent into several sections.

Yushan was dim, although there were no cracks, the texture had degraded extremely seriously, and the inside could not be seen at all. The small tree on the top of Yushan had curled branches and leaves, and there were burn marks everywhere, fortunately, there was still a glimmer of vitality.

The Red Lotus Bodhi only had a section of trunk left, and the broken part was full of scorch marks. The Laurel Immortal Tree and the Bingli Shenmu shrank into the ground and entered a dormant state, not knowing if there was still vitality.

Except for the immortal plants, all the spiritual plants mapped from Qingming turned into charcoal.

The girl Yin-Yang was unscathed, standing quietly. The two Dharma Form warriors and many Dao Foundations were still there, but they lost their spirituality and completely turned into stone statues.

In addition, the Dao Foundation was very empty, and all the Dao Foundations Wei Yuan had made before were thrown out, turning into a torrent and attacking the Heavenly Eye.

A full moon still hung high in the firmament, but the shadow in the moon was nowhere to be found.

Wei Yuan scanned the surroundings with his remaining spiritual sense and then got a vague impression.

!.

This is a stone house, the roof is wood and thatch, and cold wind leaks in from time to time. There is a fire pit in the corner of the room, which is the only source of heat in the room.

Standing by the bed is a woman, tall, only slightly shorter than Wei Yuan. She has some traces of Body Forging, but no Dao power, and Wei Yuan cannot sense the Dao Foundation, so she should not have cultivated much.

She brought in a bundle of straw, covered Wei Yuan with it, and then pressed it with a few pieces of wood. In this way, Wei Yuan was indeed warmer.

There were only charcoal fires with weak sparks in the fire pit, and some dry firewood piled in the corner of the room. But the fire pit was about to go out, and the room was bone-chillingly cold, but the woman didn't add firewood to the fire pit. It seems that firewood here is expensive and scarce, and must be saved.

A pot was hanging over the fire pit, and soup was boiling inside. The woman filled a wooden bowl with soup and said to Wei Yuan: "There is medicine in this, the village elder said, it is good for your injuries."

Wei Yuan tried to support his body with his only feeling arm, but his arm was weak, and he fell down again.

The woman supported him, but she didn't have much strength either, and was almost brought down by Wei Yuan. So she put down the medicine bowl and used both hands to finally support Wei Yuan.

The thing in the bowl was like vegetable soup, medicine, and millet porridge, bitter and astringent, with a few pieces of things in it, tasting like boiled soft wood. At the woman's request, Wei Yuan chewed them all and swallowed them.

After drinking a bowl of medicinal soup, Wei Yuan knew that there was no medicinal power in it at all. The function of this hot soup was mainly to warm the stomach and then fill the stomach.

It is extremely barren and remote here, spiritual energy is thin, where would there be any immortal medicine with strong medicinal power? Naturally, it cannot be compared with the Taichu Palace, nor can it be compared with Qingming, which has the Merit Hall.

After drinking the hot soup, Wei Yuan's spirit was better, and he said seriously: "Great kindness, dare not speak of thanks! If I can survive this disaster, as long as it is something I can do, I will definitely repay it in the future!"

Who knew the woman would say: "Repaying kindness, how can it be in the future? The village elder said, it has been a long time since outsiders came. Although you are disabled, your body looks strong, and you should still be able to plant seeds. So as long as you leave four children for the village, two boys and two girls, then you can leave. We don't care for other ways of repaying kindness!"

Wei Yuan was stunned and said: "This, how to leave children?"

"Just leave them like that! You can find me, or you can find other old aunts in the village. Anyway, you can only leave after giving birth to four. The village elder said, wait another three to five days, when you recover some strength, you can start working. Before you pay off your debt, don't even think about being lazy!"

"This... can we change the way? I am a cultivator, let me recover some, and I can do many things for the village!" Wei Yuan said seriously.

"That won't work! The village elder said, the cake drawn cannot fill the stomach. You wouldn't be a bad person, we saved you, and then you plan to run away, right?" The woman asked suspiciously.

Wei Yuan was speechless.

"If you don't want to repay the kindness, that's fine, we will strip you naked tomorrow and throw you out of the village. Precious food cannot be used to raise white-eyed wolves. Think about it yourself!"

After the woman left, Wei Yuan felt that his brain was still buzzing.

This kind of request cannot be said to be unreasonable, and the request was put forward very clearly. According to reason, repaying kindness must be done in a way that people are willing to accept, and you can't do whatever you want, otherwise what is it called repaying kindness? It's purely self-comfort.

Wei Yuan's only remaining conscience made him unable to do such a thing.

The problem is, even if Wei Yuan is willing, but listening to the woman's words, except for her, the rest of the village are all old aunts!

What if the old aunts can't give birth, and only she can give birth, wouldn't he have to stay here for four years? If it can't happen to be two boys and two girls, he would have to stay longer!

Although he couldn't see her appearance clearly with his spiritual sense, at least the woman's posture and figure were outstanding, it's just that life was hard, and there was no grace or softness in her gestures. If it were just her, if it were just leaving seeds, maybe Wei Yuan could accept it.

But the most afraid is that the old aunts will not give up the opportunity to contribute to the village's inheritance, and also plan to get a few babies!

Wei Yuan thought more and more that this was possible. At this time, he couldn't move, and his eyes couldn't see, so he was afraid he had no strength to resist. And in his current physical state, running out of the village would likely be death.

Wei Yuan shrank into the bed, feeling colder and colder. That bowl of hot soup actually had nothing in it, and after feeling comfortable for a while after drinking it, he was even hungrier. It's just that Wei Yuan had a heart of ingratitude, and he was really embarrassed to ask for another bowl.

It should be a happy thing to survive, but as soon as he thought of the old aunts in the village, Wei Yuan felt that the world had not been a bit better to him.
