Si Youjuan's expression changed slightly, and he gently moved half a step towards Li Luo. After telling the story, Li Luo's next question was the critical point.
The leader of the foreign tribe looked at Li Luo steadily and said slowly: "We can't get out, but you have the opportunity to leave Yuelongmen. If you go back one day, please tell the descendants of your benefactor that our tribe has kept its promise."
"Is that all?"
The alien leader was silent for a long time, then suddenly a drop of clear tears slipped from the corner of his eyes, and he said with great strength: "If he is willing, I...I..."
"mother……"
"I want to break my oath!" the alien leader roared. After saying this, his whole body seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he was on the verge of falling. Yao Lanling hurriedly ran to the alien leader, helped him up, and gently
Put it aside lightly.
Li Luo and Si Youjuan looked at each other, with solemn expressions in each other's eyes. No one wanted to laugh at the weakness of the alien leader. To survive in this place, he had to lead his tribe to survive in a place with almost no hope, except for the sharks.
To express hatred, you also need to have a belief, even if it is an excuse that you clearly know the outcome, it will become the last straw here. If this breath is vented, you may no longer have the reason and courage to live.
"My benefactor said before he left that if one day the descendants of Lianshan return to Yuelongmen and tell us that we no longer have to guard Yuelongmen, that is the time when we no longer have to abide by this oath." The leader of the foreign race said with a trembling breath,
"I don't have to go out, I can stay on this island forever with my ancestors, but I don't want Lan Ling to die here, and I don't want those children in the clan who still have hope to die here. Since four hundred years
Until now, our surviving family members in the East China Sea have never seen hope for generations. Time is running out and I can’t wait any longer.”
The foreign leader's shrill voice really moved Li Luo and Si Youjuan's faces.
"I may not encounter a living outsider in the hundred years I jump through the Dragon Gate. Even if I do, I don't dare to take the risk of revealing the origins of this place to others. Putting aside the oaths of my ancestors, once the descendants of Bengong Lianshan know it,
We have violated our oath, and I am afraid that everyone in our clan will die. That fear-filled respect has been engraved in the bones and blood of our clan until I met you!"
Li Luo touched the tip of his nose, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then responded casually: "Maybe he didn't meet me, but the Minghong Sword in my palm."
"Whether it's a person or a sword, just treat it as destiny. No matter whether it's right or wrong, in my opinion, this is the last chance God gives me to the East China Sea survivors. I will try it even if it means burning the boat!" The leader of the survivors said fiercely,
"Whatever you are looking for, I can help you. Back then, my benefactor only asked my clan to guard Yuelongmen, but he didn't say not to tell others the secrets of Yuelongmen. Maybe my benefactor already knew that no one would come to this place again.
,So, I don’t break my oath today!”
Si Youjuan glanced at Li Luo and was quite moved. He was about to discuss it with Li Luo when he saw Li Luo and Yan smiled and agreed without any hesitation: "Okay, it's up to you."
The foreign leader's eyes were shocked, he straightened up and shouted: "It's a deal!"
"It's a deal."
"Okay, then you just wait here for a year. After one year, if it is as you said, someone should come to rescue you. Then I will let someone take you out. If no one comes, I will definitely
I will try my best to send you to your benefactor’s ship!”
"One year? So long?" Si Youjuan sighed in frustration.
"Now that the storm is rising again, it is difficult for the gods and ghosts outside Yuelongmen to approach. Those who come here are seeking death, and those who want to leave are seeking death. You'd better give up and wait honestly for these few days in the coming year."
"Okay, I was destined to die, but now I can live for only one year. We can wait." Li Luo responded harmoniously.
"Well, but you have to promise me one thing."
"What's up?"
The leader of the foreign race was silent for a while and whispered: "If your people come to rescue you then, I want you to take Lan Ling out of here."
"Mom, I won't leave!"
The leader of the foreign race gently touched Yao Lanling's head and said with pity: "Silly boy, it's easy to wait for death here, but it's harder to live outside. You are my mother's hope and the hope of my tribe. Do you understand?"
Yao Lanling sobbed softly and lay in the arms of the foreign leader for a long time without getting up.
Li Luo looked at the mother and daughter in front of the mural quietly and said loudly: "In one year, I will take you out."
"I hope you remember what I said today." The foreign leader stood up and said, "Lan Ling, take them back first. I want to be alone here."
"mother……"
"Don't worry, mother is fine." The alien leader lovingly pulled Yao Lanling's collar to cover the terrifying gill-like foreign object.
Yao Lanling took Li Luo and Si Youjuan one step ahead. The three of them were about to turn around and go back when suddenly the leader of the foreign tribe called out: "I, Yao Xin, thank you!"
Li Luo and Si Youjuan stopped one after another, and both turned to look at Yao Xin on the high platform. Li Luo nodded and saluted, saying: "Dagan, Li Luo, nice to meet you."
"Fu Cong, Si Youjuan, we won't get to know each other without fighting, but please don't let anything like that happen again." Si Youjuan said with lingering fear.
Yao Xin nodded and apologized apologetically. Si Youjuan laughed and cleared up all previous suspicions. The three of them crossed several large rocks, and Li Luo suddenly asked: "It's rare to see someone with the surname Yao."
"Yeah." Yao Lanling responded dully.
"Why is the beautiful girl named Lanling?"
"Huh?" Yao Lanling gave Li Luo a strange look, a little confused.
Li Luo laughed and said, "It's nothing, the name is very nice." After saying that, he stopped talking and disappeared into the valley after a few ups and downs.
Deep in the valley, Yao Xin quietly looked at the murals one after another. From the first to the last one, her shoulders trembled slightly. After waiting for so many years, the day finally came to light again.
Although Si Youjuan was not happy with whether one year was a long time or a short time, he had no other choice but to be patient and stay at Yuelongmen with Li Luo. He was inevitably a little uneasy. What would happen next year?
At that time, I didn't know if a ship would come to pick me up and Li Luo to pay homage to the gods and pray to the Buddha. I hope Congfu would return safely.
Li Luo was very free and easy. He was at ease as soon as he came, without any anxiety or worry. He was quite curious to explore the past years in Yuelongmen. Unfortunately, all the books left by the ancestors of Lianshan had rotted away, and only some of them were carved on the stone.
The characters and murals are vaguely visible, and the rest are passed down orally from generation to generation, such as Yao Xin and Yao Lanling. In a place like this, reading and literacy is far less practical than hunting a few fish.
