Starting From Douluo, Glory is Invincible

Chapter 704 Valley

 In the middle of the deep valley, there is a quiet courtyard surrounded by greenery. The morning mist spreads gently, adding a touch of mystery to this peaceful world. The old man in white robe sat leisurely at the stone table. His eyes were deep and distant, as if he could penetrate the long river of time and look back at the passing time.

Zhang Tao followed Ying's footsteps and stepped into this world that seemed to be isolated from the world. Their arrival did not break the tranquility here, but seemed to blend into the harmonious and peaceful atmosphere. The old man gently straightened his white robe, pointed to the seat opposite the stone table, and gestured for the two of them to sit down.

 “Come in and sit down?” The old man’s voice was gentle and friendly, as if an elder who had reunited after a long absence was inviting the younger generation to talk about family life together.

Ying and Zhang Tao looked at each other and then sat down opposite the old man. On the stone table, a pot of tea is steaming. The fragrance of the tea is overflowing and refreshing. The old man slowly poured out three cups of tea and handed them to Ying and Zhang Tao respectively. The fragrance of tea fills the air, and seems to be telling those dusty stories.

"Seeing that you look worried, what do you want to ask?" The old man smiled and looked at Ying, "Although I haven't been out of the mountains in the past few years, I still know a lot of things."

Ying picked up the teacup and took a sip. The aroma of tea spreads in the mouth, with a hint of bitterness and sweetness. He put down the tea cup and looked at the old man with burning eyes: "I heard that Xing is a great spiritualist. I want to ask about him."

 The old man's eyes suddenly became dark when he heard the name "Xing". His eyes passed through layers of fog, as if he had returned to that distant era.

"When it comes to punishment, we have to start with the first time I met him." The old man spoke slowly, with a trace of vicissitudes and emotion in his voice, "I am not from this world. I came to this world by chance. The only human being I met was him. He told me the rules of this world, and I gradually got used to it. That was a hundred years ago, and by that time he was already a famous spiritualist. ”

 The old man’s words seemed to open a door to the past. Ying and Zhang Tao listened quietly, and their thoughts drifted to that legendary era as the old man narrated.

 At that time, Xing became a hero in the hearts of countless people with his outstanding spiritual skills and firm belief. He leads the spiritual masters of the Holy Land to fight against the evil forces and protect the peace and tranquility of this land. His story was passed down by word of mouth and became a legend in the hearts of generations.

“Then how did he die?” Ying couldn’t help but ask. This question seemed to be lingering in his mind and he couldn't let it go.

 The old man's expression became a little sad when he heard this question. He sighed softly and looked at the distant valley again: "Those who died in battle. Ten years ago, in a battle, the Spirit Tribe sent people to invite them to fight. All the Holy Spirit Magicians from the Holy Continent accepted the challenge. Unexpectedly, they fell into a trap and were all trapped. . If Xing Heyin hadn't appeared in time, the Holy Land Continent would not have the peace it has now. It's just a pity..." The old man's words stopped suddenly, as if he still felt heartache and regret when recalling that tragic battle. Ying and Zhang Tao also fell into silence, as if they could imagine the brutality and tragedy of that battle.

"I don't know if they have any children." The old man continued, "If they do, they are as old as you."

This sentence seemed to touch a chord deep in Ying's heart. He suddenly realized that if Xing really had a child of his own, then that child might be as old as himself. This thought made his mood complicated. He didn't know how to face this possible "brother" or "sister".

 The old man saw the change in Ying's expression and understood something in his heart. He knew that this topic might be a bit heavy and complicated for Ying, but he still chose to tell Ying the truth. Because he believes that only by facing the past and reality can we move towards the future better.

 In the following time, the old man continued to tell the story between him and Xing to Ying and Zhang Tao. The laughter and tears, the glory and frustrations of the past seem to be vivid in my mind. Ying and Zhang Tao also seemed to be brought into that legendary era, and experienced those thrilling moments with those heroes.

　　When the old man finished telling the last story, the sky was already getting dark. The afterglow of the setting sun shines in the courtyard, adding a touch of warm color to this peaceful world. Ying and Zhang Tao stood up and bowed deeply to the old man, expressing their sincere respect and gratitude.

“Thank you for telling us these stories.” Ying said, “We will remember Xing’s greatness and sacrifice, and we will also work hard to pursue our dreams and goals.”

The old man smiled and nodded: "Go, young man. There is still a long way to go, and you still have a lot to do. Remember, no matter what difficulties and setbacks you encounter, never give up on your beliefs and pursuits. "

Ying and Zhang Tao bid farewell to the old man and embarked on their way home. They knew that this encounter with the old man would be an unforgettable experience in their lives. And those stories and legends about punishment will also inspire them to keep moving forward and pursue their own glory and dreams.
