The villain: the memory is exposed, making the empress cry for forgiveness

"I know it's hard for you to accept, but in fact, in the beginning, your encounter with us was just a dream of a bubble that was destined to burst."

The village chief told Lin Yuan everything.

"We are remnant souls, the people of the Huang clan who died in the ancient times. The body is dead, but the soul is still alive. We are lingering to protect the inheritance of the Huang clan."

"That day, you fell from the cliff and accidentally fell into the ancient restricted area in the Eastern Desolation and Southern Territory. In this way, you spent a whole ten years in this ancient restricted area with a different time flow rate from the outside world."

The village head lowered his head, looked at Yun Wuyue in Lin Yuan's arms, and continued:

"If you want to save her, the only way to open the trial ground guarded by our clan is for you, so that you can be rescued by the Desolate Lord."

"If you can successfully pass the trial, get her approval, and obtain the elixir of immortality, you will naturally save Xiao Wuyue's life."

"No, I don't believe it...Grandpa the village chief, you, and everyone..."

Lin Yuan's face was distorted out of shape due to the severe pain. He backed away while growling.

"You must be lying to me. How could everyone be dead long ago...I don't believe it...I don't believe it!"

Whoa!

Outside the copper coffin, there was a burst of whispering.

Everyone is the same.

They also couldn't believe that the living villagers in the picture were all dead souls.

The bit by bit pictures that appeared on the copper coffin, they are as if they experienced it personally, they are all vivid and equally real.

But so many precious and happy childhood memories turned out to be dreams.

This is simply the cruelest blow to a person's belief in life.

Not only Lin Yuan couldn't accept it, but even outsiders like them couldn't accept it.

And now, many questions in their minds have finally been resolved.

What is the origin of these people, why they live in this remote place, and why none of them are healthy.

Why Yun Wuyue's bone age is ten years old, but only five years have passed in the picture.

Why have they never heard of the mysterious existence of such a disabled old village in the rumors of Donghuang Shiwan Dashan?

Because these people are long dead.

Because the Disabled Old Village is just an illusion in the ancient forbidden zone.

Because, this is just a big dream experienced by the young Emperor Qing.

……

On the copper coffin, the picture continues.

"We have always been reluctant to leave, just looking for someone who is worthy of entrusting the inheritance of the Huang race, and now, we have finally found someone who has passed the test in terms of character and courage."

Satisfied eyes appeared in the eyes of the village head.

"To open the sealed place of trial, we must gather the source spirits of all of us. We planned to spend some time with you, but now is the time."

As the voice fell, the souls of all the villagers floated up at the same time.

They all looked at Lin Yuan with various eyes.

There was reluctance, relief, and different emotions in those eyes, but there was no regret.

When this was about to dissipate in the world, none of them left any regrets.

Chapter 16

within the screen.

As the flying dust of spiritual particles scattered in the sky, the landform of the ancient forbidden zone finally emerged.

At the foot of Lin Yuan, the originally flat ground became uneven, and all kinds of dead trees and black mountains were densely covered in the originally wide field of vision.

Layers of gray fog filled the sky, and various birds of prey could be seen flying by from time to time.

In the distance, the long roars of monster beasts came and went.

The illusion barrier in Disabled Old Village completely dissipated, revealing a gloomy aura everywhere.

Here is a barren and ancient restricted area that is frightening just by hearing its name.

Under the huge peach tree at the entrance of the village, the remnants of the people of the Huang nationality were saying goodbye to Lin Yuan.

"Yuan-sun, mother-in-law believes in you, you will definitely be able to pass the test of the desolate master and save Xiao Wuyue back."

Granny Si's soul body lightly passed through the cloudless moon, and was the first to float into the peach tree before disappearing.

Then, there is Grandpa Cripple.

"Grandpa, I haven't regained consciousness in this leg. If there is a chance in the next life, I don't want to compete with you again, hahahaha..."

With a long and long laugh, the crippled grandfather waved goodbye to Lin Yuan, and completely turned into a wisp of flying dust, dissipating in the sky and the earth.

Then, there was the blind grandpa.

"If I can see, everything I feel may be completely different, Yuansun... Be my eyes, carry my dreams well, and see the world for me..."

In a burst of dazzling spiritual light, the soul of the blind grandfather merged into the peach tree and flew away with the petals of the peach blossoms.

"No...don't, don't go..."

Seeing the amiable elders disappear one by one with his own eyes, Lin Yuan's heart was filled with endless sadness, which made him burst into tears uncontrollably.

However, he couldn't stop it at all.

The ghost of the woodcutter grandfather also began to float towards the peach tree, but he didn't look at Lin Yuan, but turned around, using his finger as a sword, and danced a sword flower out of thin air.

"It's like cutting like learning, cutting like grinding, even if there is no one to supervise, in the days to come, don't forget to practice swordsmanship every day... I, go!"

Another one-eyed grandfather.

"Yeyu canopy the window, sit quietly and meditate, and constantly build your own inner world, which is the source of your continuous strength."

"Treat equipment like you would treat your own lover." Grandpa Butcher left a short sentence before flying into the peach tree.

Grandpa Butcher, Grandpa Orion...

One after another, the kind elders, the words of farewell, and the kind figures disappeared one after another in front of Lin Yuan.

His whole world collapsed inch by inch like this, his heart was severely torn, and torn again.

Broken and bruised.

"Yuansun, compared to the long life of us Huang people, the time spent with the two of you is so short."

Among all the villagers, the village chief stayed to the end.

"But it was during this period of time that you let us, the nihilistic beings that should have died long ago, pick up all kinds of emotions that were lost in the long river of memory."

"Let us realize what family affection is, what family relationship is, and what love is. In the last years, we have an extremely precious memory."

Golden spirit particles emerged from the soul of the village chief, bursting out with divine light.

Under the shining of the golden light, all his severed limbs returned to normal.

"It's rare to get together in life, but there are many separations. When it's time to part, other people are still waiting for me."

The village head stretched out his hand to Lin Yuan.

"At this last moment of farewell, let us help you walk a little longer..."

In his palm, a round of brilliant golden lotus is slowly blooming.

"This is the Dao Fruit of the life of the survivors of our clan, and now it is all blessed to you. It contains the supreme secret technique of the Huang clan, the great law of self-transformation."

While speaking, the lotus platform floated towards Lin Yuan and merged into his body.

"He transforms the Great Law of Freedom, which can change everything in the world, can change the ages, can change the years, encompasses thousands of Taos and fruits, past, present and future..."

After speaking, the village head closed his eyes, and like everyone before him, he plunged into the peach tree without hesitation.

During the whole process, his face was extremely calm, and there was a gratified and satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Yuan fell to his knees again, staring blankly at the empty front.

He made no sound, no movement, not even a tear.

The whole person is like a sculpture that has lost its soul.

At this moment, the final farewell voice of the village chief's grandfather rang in his ears.

"Yuansun, my good boy, don't be sad, although everyone has gone, but for all of us, this is not a relief that we all dream of."

"Being able to know you, cultivate you, and watch you grow up, we have no regrets, no worries, and we can leave with peace of mind."

This is the aftermath of the village head's soul left by Lin Yuan before his death.

"What's more, the Ancient Desolate Saint Physique is a physique that can only be possessed by people with the blood of the Primordial Desolate Clan flowing in their bodies."

"This shows that you are the continuation of the life and blood of our Desolate race. Being able to pave the way for you is exactly what we have hoped for all our lives."

"So don't be sad, hold your head up, and move on..."

"Go to pass the trial, go to save Xiao Wuyue, go to change this cruel world... into what you expect..."

The sound fell, and in front of Lin Yuan, the huge ancient tree suddenly shook, and the branches and leaves rustled in the shaking.

In the middle of an ancient tree that is tens of meters high, a huge vertical eye opened.

Those eyes seemed to hide a vast blue sea, and also seemed to contain a bottomless abyss.

It looks deep and vast.

As the ancient tree opened its vertical eyes, a blue light suddenly flickered on the ground.

Under the tree, a pale purple teleportation array emerged.

The teleportation array leading to the trial land of the Desolate race.

But Lin Yuan didn't move forward.

Because in his ears, there are still subtle soul lingering echoes.

"...The peach blossoms at the head of the village have fallen, you are no longer a child... hurry up..."

With the disappearance of the last voice, everything in front of Lin Yuan's eyes completely turned into a dead gray of despair at this moment.

"what!!!!!"

A howl of an evil ghost resounded like it came from the Nine Nether Prisons, resounding over the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains.

It also spread to the ears of every monk in the imperial palace.

All the emotions contained in it hit the heartstrings of everyone fiercely, making their spirits tremble.

Because this roar carries too deep pain and heart-piercing, despair and sorrow.

They are not Emperor Qing, so they can't imagine what kind of pain he is enduring in his heart at this moment.

It is also impossible to imagine what kind of blow it is to make a person cry out in such despair.

They only know that he is suffering from a kind of boundless pain now.

It's hard not to feel pity.

But soon, they changed their minds.

He is the devil emperor, he doesn't need anyone's pity, and it won't matter if he feels the pain.

At this time, a monk in the crowd asked: "What about Yun Wuyue's master? It's such a time, why hasn't he appeared yet?"

Hearing this, everyone else showed the same doubts.

When Granny Si's soul body passed through Yun Wuyue, something should have been left in her body to help her temporarily suppress the Nether Cold Poison.

But she is still on the verge of life and may die at any time.

At this time, why hasn't Lin Yuan taken the bone yet, and why hasn't Yun Wuyue's master appeared yet.

"Presumably the devil emperor must have done it in the trial ground, and it was at that time that Wuyue's master would appear." Luo Chen speculated again.

"It should be like this." Everyone nodded.

Only Yun Wuyue remained silent, staring at the picture on the copper coffin in front of her.
