Chapter 579 Stigmata and Relics(1/2)
Bei Mingwan did not live in the base camp of the Bei Ming family, nor in the imperial capital of the Qin Dynasty, but in a simple manor in a small village east of the imperial capital.
Her contribution to the magic world was too great, and with the reason why [Eternal Holy Scar] and the end of the day was approaching, so in order to avoid some crazy guys doing crazy things to seize the Sage Stone, Bei Mingwan was arranged to a village not too far from the emperor.
The villages surrounded by mountains and waters are birds singing and flowers. The air is filled with rich wood elements and a small amount of water elements. The wood elements are because of the forest and the water elements are because of the natural principle of "water-generating wood".
The wood system [Eternal Holy Scar] needs elements to maintain, and the old Bei Mingwan can no longer do it, so there is a barrier with "water-generated wood" as the core.
Driving here, one post at five steps, one post at ten steps - even if the five rulers of the Holy Empire in the Hundred Schools Wartime War, the defense here has not left the post.
When they entered the village checkpoint, Bei Mingzhiyao, Su Xiao and Chu Lingwei showed their relevant identity certificates and waited until they completed the registration to their superiors before they were able to enter.
"It's so strict, Zhiyao, you have to register?" Chu Lingwei complained in a low voice: "It's not like going home at all, it's like entering a military important place."
"Well, I've paid too much attention to my aunt."
"There is no one in this village except aunt and soldiers?" Su Xiao asked, driving.
"Yes." Bei Mingzhiyao nodded: "My aunt's daily meals are also specially made and served by special people."
"Um."
Parked the car in front of a courtyard, Su Xiao took a look at the closed gate, and there were no less than three defensive barriers of the twelfth stairs protecting the courtyard.
Get off the car and walk towards the door. The door opened a crack at the right time. The elegant woman stood at the door and looked at Bei Ming Zhiyao with a smile: "Zhiyao, are you here?"
"Here you come." Bei Mingzhiyao smiled at her: "Aunt Mu, is my aunt still asleep?"
"I'll wake up in half an hour."
The woman is Bei Mingze's second wife, and Bei Mingzhiyao's stepmother Mu Zijin.
Su Xiao looked at this woman and knew her other identity: the great master of kendo nicknamed [Red Prison], and was also a sage in attacking the Qin Empire of Xiaozhi Island.
Mu Zijin was not surprised by the arrival of Su Xiao and Chu Lingwei, because Bei Ming Zhiyao had already informed him in advance that after taking the three of them into the courtyard, the rich wood elements came from all directions.
Not only the wood element from heaven and earth, but also the elements from [Eternal Holy Scar].
The Sword of the Sage contains great power, and the body of Beiming Wanjixishan can no longer bear the majestic energy in the Sword of the Sword, so dispelling the energy of the Sword of the Sword to achieve balance with the body is also a means of life-sustaining.
Su Xiao estimated the power of the Sage Stone and inferred that Bei Mingwan's remaining life span: less than three months.
Maybe I can't even stick to the New Year.
I silently walked across a stone bridge on the lake and stopped at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The end of the stone bridge on the other side was where Bei Mingwan had lived for the past ten years.
Except for her life with the Dragon Breath Ice Lotus eight years ago, she came out to walk around the courtyard, she had never set foot in that quaint house in the past two years.
Su Xiao sat on the stone bench in the pavilion and looked at the several koi flapping in the lake. Now Bei Mingwan's body, the dragon breath ice lotus, and the phoenix fire could not survive.
She is too old, and her body, who is over one hundred and fifty years old, can no longer withstand the powerful energy injection.
The dragon breath ice lotus that was once a petal was already the limit she could bear... If she had been younger for more than ten or twenty years, her overwhelmed body would still be able to withstand it...
The pavilion and terrace were silent, and Bei Mingzhiyao stared at the wooden house quietly, without moving his steps.
Chu Lingwei also maintained awe. She came to this world earlier than Su Xiao and knew better about Bei Mingwan's status in the world's magic world.
Before entering the modern era of magic, Bei Mingwan saved the lives of countless magicians on the battlefield, including senior officials of magic families from all over the world.
Although most of the magicians have passed away, this kindness has been passed down. The younger generations who have been saved by Bei Mingwan may not know much about the past stories and may not respect Bei Mingwan so much. However, there are two reasons for the father and grandfather's will and the mutual supervising of opponents' families for the highest point of "righteousness". Therefore, even if the Bei Ming family declined, Bei Mingwan would be silly, but no one would use force to rob the Stone of the Sage.
They even respect Bei Mingwan very much - in order to leave a good impression on Bei Mingwan.
After all, there is no successor to the Beiming family.
But now...
Chu Lingwei glanced at Bei Ming Zhiyao. Because of Zhiyao's excellent performance and the strength of a magician, many sages had given up their obsession with this wood-type sage stone.
She looked at Su Xiao who was looking at the koi again. To be honest, she still doesn't know why he brought him here.
It seems that since I returned from a trip to the Los Palace Islands, I have been increasingly unable to understand Xiao Ge’s ideas.
He is a bit like Bei Ming Zhiyao, sometimes very strange.
To be honest, she doesn't like this feeling very much. She is obviously the one who knows Xiao Ge's best, but now she can't understand his thoughts... It's not good at all.
While thinking about it, Su Xiao turned his head and looked at her, smiled slightly at her. She subconsciously smiled back, and she glared again when she reacted.
Brother Chou Xiao, I am thinking about this unhappy day. You are still laughing. What's so funny?!
Su Xiao shrugged her shoulders and continued to look at the koi in the lake. These koi are not even considered monsters, but because of the nourishment of elements, they are much smarter than ordinary fish. They floated out of the water with big eyes and stared at Su Xiao curiously.
The gentle devil will not scare small animals, but...
Su Xiao grinned at the koi, and the koi in the lake ran to other places and dared not approach the waters here.
"Like a child." Bei Mingzhiyao whispered behind him, his eyes soft.
"It's fun." Su Xiao turned around and said, "Is there any fish food?"
"No." Bei Mingzhiyao shook his head: "The magic here is enough for them to survive, so they don't need to feed them."
"Yes." He stood up and looked at the wooden house: "Wake up."
Bei Mingzhiyao took a step towards the direction of the wooden house, which has been more than a month since she last met her aunt.
"Let's go." Su Xiao patted Chu Lingwei on the back.
"Thank you for showing mercy last year."
Mu Zijin's voice came into his ears, and Su Xiao glanced at her smiling face and said nothing.
Following Bei Mingzhiyao into the wooden house, the rich wood magic came to his face and could be seen clearly with the naked eye.
The wood element light particles filled every corner of the house floated around, all overflowing from a small bed.
Su Xiao closed the door and turned to look at the old man lying on the bed, an old man who was about to reach the end of his life.
The old man, whose limbs were atrophy and even had difficulty sitting and standing, had all his eyes that were not turbid. Bei Mingwan used most of the magic power provided by the Sage Stone to maintain the function of his brain.
"Zhi Yao, help me up."
Her voice was low, but smooth enough.
Bei Mingzhiyao sat by the bed, carefully helped her up her aunt, let her lean against her body, so that she could see Su Xiao more easily.
Su Xiao took a few steps forward and was sitting in front of Bei Mingwan, and solemnly called "Senior Bei Ming".
This old man who is about to die has made too much contribution to the human magic world.
Bei Mingwan looked at Su Xiao and said "Thank you".
After a pause, she continued to speak: "Thank you for taking care of Zhiyao all the time, thank you... for reassuring me."
She did not thank Su Xiao for letting her live for eight years. In her opinion, the surviving life is not important. She didn't want to die because Zhi Yao was too young and had too weak. What should she do if she lost her protection? But now...
She looked at Bei Mingzhiyao with soft eyes. Now she has grown up and has a lifelong support... There is no regret.
"Auntie, don't look at me with such eyes." Bei Mingzhiyao whispered: "You said you want to watch me get married."
Su Xiao immediately took over the conversation: "I am here to propose marriage to you, and I hope you can witness our wedding."
"Okay." Bei Mingwan replied simply: "It seems you have a plan."
"Yes." Su Xiao nodded, not surprised Bei Mingwan was straightforward and neat.
She used to be the most powerful auxiliary healing magician. Looking at the overall situation on the battlefield, she must have scolded disobedient magicians a lot.
Bei Mingwan looked at Su Xiao. She knew Su Xiao’s identity very early because Zhi Yao would tell her how powerful her junior brother was.
Bei Mingwan knew that the "school brother" in Zhiyao was the monster he encountered on Xiaozhi Island eight years ago, and gave her the monster of Longji Ice Lotus.
The Great Demon King of the Akira Empire.
"The Beiming family has nothing valuable..."
"It's enough to have a senior sister." Su Xiao said with a smile: "The rest is not important."
"This is not possible." Bei Mingwan shook her head: "No dowry you should have."
Su Xiao glanced at Bei Mingzhiyao, then spoke: "I want to borrow the Sage Stone."
"It doesn't matter if you take it." Bei Mingwan said without hesitation.
"You have to witness the wedding." Su Xiao said with a smile: "And I will use it."
"Now?"
"Um."
Bei Mingwan looked at him: "I have no strength to take out the Sage Stone."
"Just leave it to me."
Su Xiao stood up, stretched out her right hand towards Bei Mingzhiyao, and gently stroked her face, she slowly lay down on the bed.
"What are you doing?" Chu Lingwei hurriedly ran over to support Bei Mingwan, staring at him with a little angrily, and inexplicably made Zhi Yao faint?
Bei Mingwan looked at Zhiyao who had passed out and stared at Su Xiao tightly, not knowing what the great devil was thinking... Even if she knew, she couldn't do anything.
Stay silent.
Su Xiao's face was calm. He waved his right hand without explaining anything to Chu Lingwei, and all the holy marks floated in the air. Among them, four of the wood-type [Eternal Holy marks] felt the holy marks in Bei Mingwan's body and were beating happily.
To be continued...
