Wang Qizheng touched his chest in astonishment.
Time is frozen, which sounds like eternal youth, but if wounds on the body can heal on their own initiative, then it is not just the concept of eternal youth.
Zhang Fei
With Lao San's physical condition, he should have healed long ago. He was still healing before he drank the water. But after drinking the water, the scratches on his face were obviously still there, and there was no further healing at all. sign.
"Has my waiting time been stopped?" Zhang Feixuan murmured to himself.
"That's right."
Song Yin said: "Your time was frozen in the moment when you drank water. What state you were in at that moment will always be preserved."
He paused and continued: "But the strange thing is that here, our bodies still have feelings, whether it is pain or hunger. Even though time has stopped, we still have to rely on the water here to carry out our tasks. Survive."
"Senior brother, did you drink too?" Wang Qizheng couldn't help but ask.
Song Yin nodded and said: "I drank the moment I entered the water. After entering the water, the water seemed to blend with me, but who am I? All laws are inviolable, all evils can be avoided, and the water in the lake cannot harm me. "
Yes, Senior Brother has personally confirmed that the water in the lake can really melt people.
Fortunately it was stopped at that time.
only.
"Can the years be frozen here? Then I am immortal?" Zhang Feixuan thought of something and his eyes widened with a little excitement.
When Wang Qizheng and Gao Sishu heard this, their pupils shrank.
If time stayed at this moment, then he wouldn't have to die.
This is not simply physical immortality, but the freezing of time. Then this dangerous world is safe for them.
Even if the price is to stay here forever and not be able to stay away, it is not unacceptable.
"Our practice is not settled in one place, so this idea is unacceptable."
Song Yin glanced at them strangely, and then said: "The freezing of time means that you cannot grow. No matter how much you refine your Qi, you can't make any progress. Living only on water, you can't stay away from this world, like the bird in the cage. No freedom. And”
Song Yin looked forward: "As time goes by, problems will obviously arise. The water in the lake is not that simple."
Following his gaze, several people looked forward and saw the child who had talked to them before walking out of the village and heading towards the lake.
This child is not as lively and agile as before, he walks unsteadily, and his eyes are obviously blind.
Behind him, all the people in the village gathered and looked at the child from a distance.
It seems to be sent far away.
Song Yin's eyes flashed with divine light and he said: "That water is not without price."
He flashed, appeared in front of the child, and grabbed his hand.
The child's hand was caught, but he didn't seem to notice it. He continued to take two steps towards the lake. He stopped until his hand was completely grabbed. However, he still did not look towards Song Yin, but just stared at the lake blankly. .
Song Yin looked at the group of people and said, "It's time for him, right?"
An old man from the village stepped forward. He was leaning on a broken crutch, and one of his legs was broken. It was wrapped in white cloth, but blood red was constantly printing and dyeing from the white cloth.
"I am the mayor of this village. I wonder who you are?"
"I am Song Yin of the Golden Immortal Sect. I came here to find medicinal materials, and I also came to find my fellow disciples to clean up this harmful lake."
Song Yin looked directly at them and said: "Sorry, father-in-law, my junior sister is a Qi practitioner, so I can keep her from dying, but I can't guarantee that you will survive."
What's the meaning?
The three people behind looked suspicious.
"Doctor Lingdang, is she your junior sister? Although people in the village think she is crazy, I know she is a good person, and it is a good thing to be able to save one. After all, this matter has nothing to do with her."
The village chief lowered his head and smiled bitterly, looking at the child that Song Yin was holding: "This baby's parents were also summoned half a year ago and went to the lake. I thought we should wait before him, but he waited before me. "
In the crowd, several women covered their faces and cried, while others could not hide their sadness.
Song Yin just looked at them and said nothing.
The village chief sighed: "It's us who have done evil and led to the current situation. We should pay the price."
"A few years ago, a businessman came here and brought seeds that were said to be able to be harvested four times a year, and the people in the village planted them. There was indeed a bumper harvest in those years, but three years ago, suddenly everything The land has changed overnight and nothing can be grown, not even a drop of rain falls."
"We wanted to leave at that time, but no matter how we walked, we would still come back in the end, and we couldn't get out of this place at all. Not only that."
The village chief pointed to his leg, "Old man's leg was bitten off by a wild beast three years ago. But after that night, until now, old man's leg has not healed. It's just like three years ago, and it keeps hurting." Bleeding, enduring pain every day, sometimes I don’t want to live anymore, but I just can’t die. No matter whether I hang myself, commit suicide, or even have my head chopped off, I am still alive.”
"Later, I didn't want to die anymore. There are still so many people in the village. As the village chief, I can't just let them go."
"The place is dry, and we are actually not hungry, but we still feel hungry. Later we found that as long as we drank the lake water, we would be full, so we just drank water when we were hungry. I originally thought this would be good. Anyway, you can live.”
"But you can't do anything with that water except drink it. It can't be soaked in the earth, and it can't be used for daily grooming. My daughter couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran into the lake and never came out again."
"I later stayed away from the lake. Except for daily needs, I tried not to get close to the lake, but it was useless. I don't know when, but as soon as the time came, people would automatically go to the lake, enter the lake, and dissipate. inside."
As the village chief spoke, a look of sadness appeared on his face. He looked towards the lake and sighed: "Lord of the Lake, what are you going to do? Is this a punishment for us?"
seed?
Zhang Feixuan and Wang Qizheng looked wrong.
They seem to have heard of seeds that ripen four times a year.
"Senior brother." Zhang Feixuan looked at Song Yin.
Song Yin waved his hand, stopped Zhang Feixuan's words, and said to the village chief: "I see, I understand."
"That kind of seed is an evil seed in itself. It uses it to rob the earth of its vitality. Normally, your land will fall into desolation, and you will either starve to death or leave your hometown. But there is something different."
Song Yin asked: "Has this lake existed for a long time?"
"As long as I can remember, my grandfather said that this lake has existed here for thousands of years, and it is the lake on which we depend for our livelihood. Every year, we hold a lake festival. In the past, there was a water demon Yasha in the lake, but it is not harmful. I won’t mess with you, everyone will be in peace.”
As he spoke, he smiled bitterly: "I also think it's a seed problem. After all, before the seeds were planted, there was nothing happening around here, but once the seeds were planted, something happened."
"millennium."
Song Yin looked at the lake and said slowly: "Sure enough, I read it right. This lake has been filled with life. For thousands of years, you and others have relied on the lake to live, and the lake has also turned into the spirit of the land because of you and other creatures. But that kind of seed is planted , but it is competing with the lake for vitality."
"It's not punishing you, it's just protecting you and this land."
