C257 Blowout
The candlelight on the table swayed slowly, and the vaporized candle hovered above it.
The candle emitted a unique heat. Ye Chen hadn't felt it in years. He remembered that the last time he was in this atmosphere, it was when he was very young.
In fact, at that time, Ye Jiaojiao was only a little over one year old.
Under the candlelight, the old lady's figure appeared exceptionally small.
"My name is Meng Zhana."
After being silent for a long time, the old man finally opened his mouth.
She felt that now was the time of the prophecy. There were some things that, if she did not say them now, might really be brought to the soil.
Ye Chen nodded. He knew that Monza was a very ancient family name for the local Qing people.
Nowadays, almost all of the Qing clansmen would use their Han surname. Very few people would use such an ancient surname.
In the next 15 minutes, Meng Zhana told Ye Chen the whole story.
The divine tree outside the house was so old that it was hard to say how many years it had been.
In any case, ever since Meng Zhana could remember, this tree had been living in the village.
At that time, the Qing clan was still the matriarchal clan. Meng Zhana's mother was the clan leader, and Meng Zhana naturally inherited her mother's position.
Originally, people lived very peacefully here, and life had gone on as usual.
At that time, the average lifespan of the people was not high, so Meng Zhana, who was 21, inherited the position of mother and became the new leader of the tribe, which was also the Great Elder.
However, life was not peaceful for long. In the second year after Meng Zhana ascended the throne, one of the leaders of the tribe wanted to rebel. The first thing he wanted to do was to cut down this sacred tree, which symbolized the totem of the tribe!
Although Meng Zhana had resolved the conflict, the nightmare of the tribesmen had still begun.
As a Senior Magus who was connected to heaven and earth, Meng Zhana received God's orders that same night.
"You let the divine tree suffer an injury, so you will all be cursed. You will never die, and you will forever stay here to protect the divine tree!"
Things really did go as God said. After more than ten consecutive years, the clansmen were no longer old, but no one could walk out of the range of the village for more than fifty miles.
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then how did you escape the mountain?"
Meng Zhana heaved a long sigh, "You know that anyone would be driven crazy by such circumstances. I am also a person with normal emotions!"
"According to your time points, it was around the Second World War period! At that time, all of the clansmen would have become numb, but I did not. "
"I used the spell I have mastered to hide from God's detection and escape the mountain."
"However, when I arrived in the outside world, I found that everything was very beautiful. Only my body was rapidly aging!"
Meng Zhana gestured from top to bottom, "In less than a year, I've gone from a young girl in her twenties to what I am now."
"From that day onwards, I became completely disheartened. I returned to the stronghold and continued to be a great elder without rest!" Clear out the people who come here to plot against the Divine Tree one after another! "
Meng Zhana pointed outside the window, "I know, you might not believe me when I say all this."
Ye Chen thought to himself, "Of course I don't believe it. Isn't this too outrageous?"
But on second thought, wasn't the box left behind by his mother also beyond the scope of natural science?
Normally, who would have seen a box that could swallow stone!
He followed Meng Zhana's gaze and looked outside the window. Surprisingly, he saw the corpses of the Qing clansmen on the ground.
Meng Zhana pointed with her finger and a white light shone down from the divine tree, enveloping all of them.
In the end, they slowly stood up and walked out of the courtyard as if nothing had happened, as if they couldn't remember anything.
"There's no need to look." Meng Zhana said.
"This kind of thing … I wonder how many times they have experienced this in the past thousand years."
Ye Chen: "But before, when they sacrificed themselves, why did their companions feel sad?"
This was Ye Chen's biggest doubt. He clearly saw that the little leader was very sad before.
"I can only say that it was a mechanical emotion. All the people in the village are like this, living a numb life. "
Ye Chen frowned, "You're the only one who's awake?"
Meng Zhana nodded. "Yes, this is my punishment!"
Indeed, in this situation, maintaining a clear mind was not a good thing.
The torment he felt would instead cause him to collapse.
This was probably the reason why Meng Zhana had wanted to escape from the mountain all those years ago.
"But... Why are you telling me this? "
Ye Chen's eyes instantly became vigilant. Telling him all his secrets was either a hindrance or a conspiracy!
"Why did I tell you?"
Meng Zhana rolled her eyes. "Because it's time to get out of this predicament!"
Ye Chen instantly became nervous: "What do you mean?"
"Don't worry."
"I'm not nervous."
Meng Zhana sneered. "You can't fool me."
Ye Chen also admitted that this woman had some skills that he didn't understand.
However, this was still impossible for him to threaten Ye Chen, because as long as Ye Zichen was willing, he could completely raze the cars here … But that would exclude the fact that they could be resurrected.
"When the gods left the curse back then, they also left a prophecy. It was that if the people who solved the secrets to the divine tree were able to come here and hand the divine tree over to them, then we would be able to obtain complete relief."
"But once we recognize the wrong person, we will fall into a bottomless abyss, suffering for generations after generations."
Meng Zhana suddenly stopped as she said that. She stared at Ye Chen and said, "Now I feel that time is up."
Looking at Meng Zhana's eyes, Ye Chen actually felt a chill run down his spine for the first time. That look was so cold and desperate that if it wasn't for the baptism of time, Ye Chen would never have believed it.
"How can you be so sure that I am the person whom the prophecy spoke of?" If you choose the wrong one, then you will truly be doomed. "
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Meng Zhana smiled slightly, "At the beginning, I also thought that you were like those people from the past, sneaking here to take advantage of the divine tree. But it wasn't until today that I could see clearly what you've done. You're not an ordinary person. "
"During the day, you wouldn't be talking about my cultivation going berserk, right?"2
