Yu Hongyi stood there, looking at the white flowers as big as bronze mirrors in front of him.The old man said that Shui Sheng was right in front of him, as long as he took a step and peeled off the flowers and leaves in front of him, he could see it.

It was just a step, but Yu Hongyi had been standing here for a long time.

"She was escorted into Beiming by me, and she was separated from me for nearly four months." Yu Hongyi asked, "When did she come here?"

"More than three months ago." The old man replied, "For the last sacrifice, she has been bathing in the pure pool for the past three months."

The last sacrifice?Calculating the time, it was the time of the battle with the giant bird... Those small white flowers really bloomed all over the entire Beiming Kingdom in an instant.

Yu Hongyi took a deep breath, but he still didn't move.

The old man did not urge him, and quietly waited for his decision.

After a long while, Yu Hongyi almost imagined all the possible scenarios.He finally took a step forward and pushed aside the flowers and leaves in front of him.

He thought that he might see Shui Sheng standing there, that the girl might be lying there peacefully, and even thought that maybe there was just a bloody head... But in fact, what he saw , just a flower.

A white flower that blooms more white and dazzling than all its kind, shining like a moon disk.

Its perimeter is a clearing with nothing but dirt.It took a full five or six steps before those similar circles grew outwards, enveloping it, making it more eye-catching and extraordinary.

Yu Hongyi stared blankly at the flowers for a while.

"This is the sacred flower, and this is the root of the blooming sacred flower." The old man explained to him and smiled again, "It is so beautiful whenever I see it."

Yu Hongyi nodded.It is indeed very beautiful, but... Where is Shui Sheng?

At first he thought he had missed it, but no matter how carefully he searched among the flowers, he still couldn't find the girl.

After an unknown period of time, Yu Hongyi turned his attention to the root of the beautiful sacred flower that had already bloomed.

He finally discovered that among the layers of pure white petals, there was a slightly curled up piece, with a black and yellow color that was about to dry up, which was incompatible with the vitality around it.

Yu Hongyi walked over and stared at this strange petal for a long time.

His fist clenched and loosened, and an inexplicable thought came to his mind.It felt unlikely, and there was no other answer.

"Is this it?" After a long while, Yu Hongyi opened his mouth, his voice dry.

The old man nodded, "This is Master Shui Sheng."

Yu Hongyi stretched out his hand suddenly, almost wanting to tear off the petals and snatch them into the palm of his hand.

But the old man stopped him in time, "Young Master Yu, you can't take it off yet. The holy flower is still absorbing nutrients, if you take it off at this time, it will only come to naught."

"Still absorbing?" Yu Hongyi raised his voice, "Does it still have to be sucked dry in the end?"

"Young Master Yu." The old man said, "This is the fate of the saintesses of the Flower Clan."

Fate?Yu Hongyi suddenly remembered that Shui Sheng once asked him if he believed in fate.At that time Yu Hongyi replied that he didn't know what fate was.

At this moment, he still doesn't know what fate is.

In his eyes, if there is such a thing as fate, it must be used to break it.

But the old man's next sentence completely dispelled his intentions, "Master Shui Sheng has turned into nutrients. If the nutrients are not absorbed by the holy flowers, they will only gradually dissipate between the heaven and the earth. You want to make everything about her Is it wasted?"

"……Can not go back?"

"Can not go back."

Yu Hongyi shook his head, feeling a little dizzy.

At this time there is a breeze blowing.The holy flower swayed with the breeze, and the slightly curled withered yellow petals also swayed for a while, as if saying hello to Yu Hongyi softly.

"Master Shui Sheng is very happy to know that you are here." The old man smiled.

Yu Hongyi couldn't laugh at all.From the moment he first met this girl, to the journey together, and the farewell banquet at the end, everything went round in his mind.What an arrogant and willful woman she was... At the beginning, Yu Hongyi never imagined that she would end up like this.

"Did she always know this was going to happen?"

"Of course. Every flower girl knows her destiny the moment she is born."

"Every flower girl?" Yu Hongyi looked at him in astonishment, "Isn't it just saintesses?"

"Flower girls are no more than flower boys. They are extremely rare in number." The old man said, "Every flower girl is a saint."

"Such a fate, no one refuses?"

"It's like moths must rush to the fire, just like swallows must return to their nests." The old man smiled wryly, "They inherited the purest power of the flower god, and also inherited the mission left by the flower god. They are different from each other. Some adults are well-behaved, some willful. Some adults can accept it calmly, and some adults will cry. But no matter what kind of temperament they were before, no matter what kind of life they lived before, when this moment comes, no flower girl is able to refuse."

Yu Hongyi shook his head again, unable to accept it for a while.

But after all, he has also experienced many storms, and it is not uncommon for him to see more sensational things.Soon, he took a deep breath, and the look of horror on his face finally gradually disappeared, and his face returned to normal.It's just that there is an extra boulder in his heart, pressing there extremely heavily.

The old man took a step back and stretched out his hand to lead in another direction, "Young Master Yu, do you want to sit in the humble house?"

Yu Hongyi nodded and finally left this place.

Along the way, he asked the old man many questions.The old man answered one by one without hiding anything.

It was only then that Yu Hongyi learned that the old man belonged to the family of mountain guards within the Hua clan.The so-called mountain guards are the only people other than the royal family who can freely enter and exit the holy mountain, and they are the residents inside the holy mountain.It can be said that only these mountain guards are the core group of Huazu.Those flower boys seen in other places are actually just scattered branches.Only these mountain guards can know the core secrets of the Hua Clan.

"Master Shui Sheng said that she met some handsome men in Caesar." The old man said, "One of them slapped her a few times, right?"

This is about Xiao Wu from Xiayang County back then.Yu Hongyi was also there at the time, and he was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"Even after coming here, Master Shui Sheng still gritted his teeth when he mentioned this matter, very aggrieved." The old man smiled and sighed again, "But Master Shui Sheng also told me that although she is angry, although she is sad , but she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the other party hitting her... just because she knew exactly who caused that flower boy to suffer misfortune, but she still came here and saved those scumbags. After a few slaps, she didn't do anything good Sorry."

Under the old man's eloquence, Yu Hongyi also seemed to see the figure of the girl who had just arrived at the holy mountain.

She knew that there were only three months left in her life, and although there was sadness and reluctance in her brows and eyes, she also had arrogance and pride.She knew that she would die, but she also knew that she would live in another way.She knew what kind of scum among the people she saved, and she knew how many innocent people she could save.

She will be angry at this unfair fate, but also proud of her mission.

She knows that those familiar people will never be seen again, but she will protect them in another way.

After bathing and purifying herself for three full months, she stood in the center of the holy mountain, looked at the bare roots of the holy flower in front of her, and took off her clothes one by one.

Her anger, her arrogance, her nobility, her pride, everything about her is just for this moment.

"Huo Jue failed to save Nan Dan." She finally said, "But I want to save Bei Ming."

She stretched out her hand and silently stroked the sharp protrusion on the root of the sacred flower, then closed her eyes and sent it into her heart.Her flesh and blood quickly disintegrated and poured into the soil under her feet.Her heart and all her strength turned into that one petal, more thoroughly supporting this holy flower.

"It will take about half a year for Master Shui Sheng to fully complete her mission. At that time, she will fall off the holy flower." The old man sighed, "Young Master Yu, I still have a merciless request. At that time, I hope You can come back and bring her back to her family."

"Is that what she wanted?"

"Yes."

Yu Hongyi nodded in agreement, but then stopped, "If that's the case, she can't save Beiming."

The old man also stopped and looked at him.

"How long can the holy flower bloom?"

"After Lord Shuisheng falls off, the sacred flower can bloom for another three to five years. During these three to five years, the entire Beiming will be under the protection of the sacred flower, and there will be no red-eyed beasts in any case. .”

Yu Hongyi looked straight into the old man's eyes, "And then?"

"During this period of time, the royal family will try their best to improve the domestic situation. If the public grievances disappear smoothly, the red-eyed beast will be a thing of the past... until a hundred years later, the royal family will fall again."

"If the royal family can't do it." Yu Hongyi couldn't help sneering.

"...Lord Shui Sheng still has a younger sister." The old man's expression turned sad, "If the royal family is incompetent, after about ten years, Lord Shui Sheng's younger sister will come here again."

Yu Hongyi clenched his fist, his fingertips almost pierced into his flesh in anger.

After a while, Yu Hongyi sighed, "The royal family cannot be counted on."

The emperor of Beiming was about to be tortured into the cemetery by illness, while the crown prince was still young.For a long time to come, Beiming will definitely be controlled by those officials.If the prince waits until he becomes an adult, he may be able to win the round, but it will take at least ten years.

If one counts on the royal family, another flower girl must be sacrificed.

But there is another way to break out of this sad cycle.

Yu Hongyi suddenly laughed, "In the past three to five years, no matter what happens, no matter how the public grievances intensify, the red-eyed beast will not appear?"

"Yes."

"Even if wars break out everywhere and blood flows like rivers?"

The old man suddenly raised his head, looked into Yu Hongyi's eyes in astonishment, "Young Master Yu, what do you mean?"

"Shui Sheng wants to save Beiming." Yu Hongyi's smile was full of arrogance, and even more joyful as he finally made up his mind, "She brought me here, and I will fulfill her wish. "

From the moment he first came to this world, he knew that he should have a certain mission.Not just to keep the original owner's child, not just to survive.

At this point he finally found it.

He is the king of Hebel Continent, and he will expand his territory here.
