Yu Yan Destiny

It was drizzling and the sun was very dim.

You Hua got out of the dilapidated shed.

The 20-day divine ban is over, and he can return to the village.

He turned his hands behind his back, arched his waist forward, and stroked his back.

Where it had been sore and swollen, it had absorbed plant pigments, forming blue patterns.Hearing from the boy who has been taking care of him, the tattoo is a starling with spread wings, but You Hua can't see it.

He couldn't see anything, maybe he could see the faint back in the stream.

Just like when he took care of Ji Kaiyang back then, he was often overwhelmed by the beautiful tattoo, but the person who really wore it couldn't see anything.

The rain made the grass slippery, and You Hua walked slowly, getting more nervous the closer she got to the village.

He knew that Ji Kaiyang would come to greet him, imagining in his mind what kind of warm words that charming smiling face would say, imagining the sweet kisses that would be sent at a certain moment when no one was there.

All these made his every step stiffer than the last one, and every blink of an eye, he was more shy than the last one.

But Ji Kaiyang did not come.There is no one at the entrance of the village.Ji Kaiyang, Ning Jiancheng, Xiao Yu, the children who were always playing around, and the people who came and went were all gone.It seemed to disappear in the hazy water vapor.

This kind of tranquility is like a village at night, but the tranquility at night is serene, but there are careful whispers hidden under the tranquility now, and there seem to be countless small voices behind the sound of raindrops.

With doubts, You Hua walked through several huts with open doors but no one was there, and then he saw Lan Po sitting at the door weaving brown rope.

She was very old, her back was bowed, and she wove long strips of torn bark together. The brown rope was already very long, but she didn't stop.

"What happened?"

You Hua asked her.

Lan Po took a look at him, first prayed in a very small voice, and then said, "The leader is dying soon."

With a sound of "dong", You Hua's heart seemed to fall into an abyss.

"How could this be?" he asked in panic.

"It's a disease," Lan Po replied, and at the same time she stretched her voice, saying, "I heard it's quite serious, maybe you can live for a few more years, maybe you'll die soon, no one can tell. God Qianyu will need a new one." heirs."

"Have you appointed a successor?"

Lan Po shook her head, "I don't know, it should be in the next few days, thinking that he will die at some point, it is necessary to choose a successor. I hope it is Wei Yubo."

Hearing the last sentence, You Hua glanced at her quickly, but she seemed to be just talking casually, still concentrating on weaving.

In the big house where the leader lived, Wei Yi was lying on the bed with his head propped up, while Du Lingjiao was kneeling beside him and feeding him medicine.His face was blue, as if he was recruited by the blood rushing to his brain, his hands were convulsing constantly, and his mouth was tilted to one side.

The medicine was made by a great wizard. Although Ning Jiancheng said he had excellent medical skills, he was a barren man, and everyone avoided him at this time.

There is a circle of people around the leader: his three sons and family members, the great wizard Lian Xu and some senior wizards.These people all held their breath or knelt or sat.

Ji Kaiyang knelt there, feeling uncomfortable all over.He hopes that his father's illness can be cured quickly, but at the same time he also hopes to take this opportunity to be designated as the successor, so he is very contradictory.But he tried to stay calm.In any case, it is his greatest wish to see his father free from illness.

On the other side, Wei Yubo was not so stable. His eyes fell on the great wizard from time to time, and after a glance, he immediately withdrew. The cold face of the latter made him a little scared.

Only Wei Zhuolan felt at ease.Don't think about anything, don't care about anything.Unambitious people would not panic in the face of such a situation.

After drinking the medicine with difficulty, Wei Yi panted heavily for a long time before saying slowly: "God Qianyu doesn't like me anymore, 'he' wants a newcomer..."

Having said this, he stopped.This pause made the few people in front of them extremely nervous.

Wei Yi looked at his three sons in turn. Wei Yubo was the oldest and already married, but he was too close to the great wizard, obeyed Lian Xuyan, and was too fierce and severe to the people around him.

He stared straight at the leader, opened his mouth, leaned forward, and maintained his balance in a microsecond.

Although Wei Zhuolan is kind-hearted, he is cowardly and has no opinion.

Only Ji Kaiyang—the leader looked at the child with his head slightly lowered in front of him—was loyal to the tribe and eager to change. He exuded a compelling youthful aura and a fiery red light like a flickering Hong, which made the old man I feel that it brings warmth and hope like a torch in the severe winter.

He closed his eyes, opened them again immediately, and said, "Ji Kaiyang, go get the divine fire."

"Father..." the young man called out in a trembling voice.

"Father!" It was Wei Yubo who yelled, his fat face turned pale at the moment.

Wei Yi saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't want to say anything, so he tightened his lips.

Wei Yubo understood that begging his father was useless, so he looked at his younger brother with eyes burning with hatred, and then at the great wizard.

Lian Xu still had an indifferent expression, but Wei Yubo saw a fleeting sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

In the early morning of the next day, a prayer ceremony was held, and then Ji Kaiyang set out to fetch the divine fire.

You Hua, who has never had a chance to speak to him, returned to Ji Kaiyang's hut sullenly, and waited with Ning Jiancheng for the return of the heir.

Before He Huan set, Hong Shuo had already risen, and the continuous drizzle for several days finally showed signs of clearing up. This is a good sign, so You Hua said a few prayers:

"God Qianyu, please listen to my prayer: bless him, accept him, and entrust the future of Tianshu to him..."

Before the prayer was over, Xiao Yu came in suddenly.Unlike her who was unusually calm on weekdays, now her lips were trembling, her face was completely devoid of color, only her eyes were constantly flickering.Seeing her like this, Ning Jiancheng hurried over to caress her, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ji Kaiyang is in danger!" Xiao Yu cried out while covering his face with two convulsed hands.

"What's going on! Tell us! Tell us!"

"It's Wei Yubo, he wants to send someone to attack Ji Kaiyang on the road!"

"He will be sent by God for doing so." You Hua said.

"Is your news reliable?" Ning Jiancheng asked.

Xiao Yu nodded vigorously.

The barren silver man pulled his beard and said, "Xiao Yu, You Hua and I will leave immediately, you stay in the village - listen to me - you must always pay attention to Wei Yubo and Lian Xu's movements, Wei Yubo Since you dare to do blasphemous things, there must be a great wizard behind you. You Hua, go back quickly and bring everything that can be used as a weapon, and then we will meet here."

"Okay!" You Hua nodded and left.

Then, Ning Jiancheng lowered his head and narrowed his eyes to look at Xiao Yu. There was something in his smile that made her very uncomfortable.

"What do you want?" she said, stepping back.

"I want to know who informed you of such important news."

"I don't have to tell you."

"Then I don't have to believe you!"

Xiao Yu bit her lip and said, "Believe it or not, the news is absolutely reliable. I can only say so much."

"Who are you keeping a secret for?!" He raised his voice, "Since you want to help Ji Kaiyang, since you love him, why do you keep hiding it from us? Ah! This makes me unable not to doubt you!"

"I can swear to God Qianyu!"

"Hmph." Ning Jiancheng sneered, "Why don't you swear to Huang Yinxiang Yanshen?"

This angered her.She grabbed his beard and pulled it hard, leaving a bunch of hair in her palm.Ning Jiancheng clutched his chin in pain and jumped up.

"Bastard! Bastard...!"

But the quarrel did not continue, You Hua came back.Ning Jiancheng took his own things and went out with him to chase Ji Kaiyang.Xiao Yu watched them leave, feeling that what he had done just now was too much, and he felt a little regretful.

Because it rained for several days, the forest became very muddy, Ji Kaiyang walked very slowly, he had to be careful with every step.Those seemingly flat and solid ground may be found to be a quagmire after stepping down.

The places I walked with You Hua last time have also changed.

He could only keep climbing upwards along the only thing that remained unchanged—the flow of the Jiayu River.

On the way, Ji Kaiyang returned to the place where he had hunted and killed Qujiaolong.The trees that had been burned by then had sprouted new branches, standing green on the black ashes.Only a pile of bones remains, and the meat has been eaten up by birds and insects.

After a brief prayer, he walked over and tapped the thick bone with his fingers, making a 'bang bang' sound.So he thought that these huge and strong bones might be useful, but he had a more important task this time, so these bones had to be put away for a while.

The rain stopped at noon, and the sun shone through the leaves on the woodland, evaporating a lot of water, and wet mist gathered on the ground.This made it more difficult to move forward, and he would sweat every few steps. Ji Kaiyang felt that his plan to reach the Shendong before dark might be ruined.He didn't stop for lunch, but ate a piece of dried meat as he walked along the river.

All Ji Kaiyang thought about was taking the magic fire. He didn't know that the danger was so close to him, and he didn't know how to eliminate the danger.

Ning Jiancheng and You Hua quickly found the footprints left by Ji Kaiyang, and at the same time, they found another set of footprints nearby.

"This should belong to the tracker." You Hua said.

"It seems that Xiao Yu is right. Let's go."

They followed the footprints, through the forest, to the river bank, and up the river.Ning Jiancheng was astonished when he passed the dragon hunting site, and he promised to take a closer look when he returned.

The closer you get to the source of the Jiayu River, the newer your footprints will be. Ji Kaiyang's footprints and those of the tracker are almost next to each other.They knew they were close to catching up.

Before reaching the source, they had to climb over a small cliff, and it was there that they found Ji Kaiyang.He was climbing up the sloping rock, and his movements were fast, dexterous and accurate. He climbed up in a while and disappeared on the other side of the cliff.

You Hua wanted to follow, but was stopped by Ning Jiancheng.

"Is this the only way up the mountain?" He asked.

"Yes, only this piece of rock is solid, and the soil in other places has been soaked by rain and cannot be climbed." He answered affirmatively.

"Then let's hide here and catch that tracker as soon as he shows up."
