Chapter 309 The Sage of Herbs
Novice Village No. 99999.
It has been more than a month since the World of Destiny was opened, but the Novice Village still did not seem deserted at all. A large number of new players will pour in every day, demonstrating the unparalleled and huge influence of the World of Destiny.
A small valley.
The scenery here is as beautiful as a painting, and the air is fresh and intoxicating.
Chen Xue has been here for a long time and has been breathing the air here hard. The air here is the freshest and most pleasant air she has ever breathed. The scenery here is the most beautiful scenery she has ever seen... This is the pure nature she yearns for and likes the most.
Apart from her, there was no other person here. Chen Xue also accidentally walked to this place. After entering the world of fate, her temperament still retained the kind of rejection of outsiders, so she always acted alone and always avoided places with a lot of people.
In order to get to the town early, she has been leveling hard. After these days of hard work, she has finally reached level 4. The five-level monster butterfly spirit wandering here happens to be the best level-five monster butterfly spirit that is suitable for her leveling. Although this butterfly spirit flies, it is very low, has a slow speed, and has no attack power. However, the number it brushes out is very small and is not suitable for leveling, so no one stays here. It has become a quiet place for Chen Xue alone.
The profession she chose was to train in the fire magician, and the primary fireball technique happened to be the nemesis of the butterfly spirit. Because she struggled on the vein for a long time, and even tasted death more than once, Chen Xue's love for life is far beyond ordinary people. If she hadn't wanted to go to level 10, she could get Ye Tianxie away, and she wouldn't want to attack these creatures... Every time she attacked, she would desperately tell herself that these were just a bunch of data, not real life.
In the flawless world, we move forward carefully and attack the dancing butterfly girl. This picture is very beautiful and moving.
Every time a butterfly spirit was eliminated, Chen Xue would walk a few steps forward. This small valley was very quiet. Because few people stepped on it, the grass here grew very long. After Chen Xue's calves, she chased the butterfly that appeared and kept moving forward. When she could no longer see the appearance of the butterfly spirit, she turned around, but found that she seemed to be lost.
He took out the return trip from the novice village. Chen Xue was about to go back, but suddenly saw something hidden on the stone wall behind the grass that was more than one person tall on his right hand.
Driven by curiosity, she walked over lightly, and then carefully pushed the grass away. Suddenly, a not-so-large cave appeared in front of her. The cave was barely tall and not wide. At first glance, it was barely seven or eight meters deep. As the grass was pushed away, the light flashed in, driving away the dimness in the cave. In the cave, a man sitting cross-legged on the ground and spreading his head raised his head and looked at Chen Xue.
The scattered and long hair covered most of the face, and the exposed face was extremely dry and terrifying, even more unbearable than the old tree bark, but it could still be seen as a woman's face. The eyes showed a turbidity as if blind. Combined, the whole face was extremely terrifying. If a person suddenly saw it, his first reaction was to shout, turn around and run away, as if he saw an evil ghost coming to the world.
Chen Xue was looking at her, and the old woman like a dead tree was also looking at Chen Xue. At that moment, a light lit up in her turbid eyes. Because this seemed to be a girl walking out of the painting, no matter her face, eyes, and eyes were so pure and flawless, and she had not received any contamination of worldly dust. And slowly, this light turned into a slight surprise.
People often missed here, and when they saw her, most of them would scream, turn around and run away in a panic. Even if the other half did not escape, they would be shocked. She knew how terrifying her face was.
But... the little girl in front of her, who seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old, kept looking at her like this, without screaming or running away. There was no trace of fear in her crystal clear and incredible eyes, and there was only surprise and curiosity.
"Old lady, why are you here? Is this... your home?" Chen Xue asked. After asking, she felt that her question was a little stupid and smiled embarrassedly, because such a place could be "home".
The ethereal voice was as pure as her eyes. When she heard it, her heart calmed down. She spoke, her voice was extremely dry: "Little sister...are you not afraid of me?"
"Huh?" Chen Xue showed a puzzled expression on her face. She thought for a while and asked, "Old lady... Why am I afraid of you? Ah... Are you also a little monster?"
Chen Xue's words made the old man laugh, and it was very stiff and terrifying. Because she hadn't laughed for a long time. In her memory, this was the first time she had laughed since she came here.
"Of course I'm not a monster... Little sister, are you willing to sit with me for a while? No one has spoken with me for a long time." The old man looked at Chen Xue and said.
"Yeah! OK." Chen Xue agreed immediately, walked in, and sat on the straw beside the old man. The old man's clothes were extremely torn, almost not enough to cover his body, but they were not dirty, and there was no smell of rottenness. Chen Xue secretly looked at her a few times, her eyes full of curiosity. She could even face life and death calmly, and she would not care about the beauty or ugliness of people's appearance. Moreover, when she first came in, she inexplicably felt... this was a person who was about to die, just like the slightest struggling on the verge of death. Because she had endured it, she truly endured this feeling. She was sympathetic and sympathized with her, and she did not refuse the old man's request.
"Little sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Chenxue."
"Chen Xue... Xue... This is a very suitable name for you." The old man said. Her voice was gentle, not as terrifying as her appearance. "You are an adventurer from another world, right?"
Chen Xue thought for a while and said, "Well! It should be considered. Old lady, why are you in such a strange place?"
"Why are you here..." The old man said lowly and shook his head lonely: "Because, I am now here, waiting for my death second by second."
"Ah?" Chen Xue looked at her in surprise... This person was the same as he felt. Is he really going to die?
"My body has dried up like a piece of rotten wood... It's better to die. As early as a hundred years ago, I should have died, so why should I struggle to live to this day?" the old man murmured.
Chen Xue looked at her in surprise, turned her face, and said seriously: "Old lady, you must not want to die at all, right... Then you can't give up. Old lady, you know, I have had serious and serious illnesses before, and I was almost dead several times. And just a few days ago, I was still a little bit away from my illness. All the doctors said that my illness was impossible to be cured. However, my brother did not give up on me at all. Just when I was about to die, he really found a way to cure me... Old lady, look, I am getting healthier every day... So, old lady, you can't even give up on my own life easily. No matter how terrible the disease is, as long as you have hope, you will always find a way to cure it. I really didn't lie."
Chen Xue's words made the old man's eyes slightly turbulent again. She smiled again, and then said: "Little sister, what you said is very good... But I am different. I have no disease, but my life... has burned to the end. Except for the legendary water of life, which can extend my life in a short time... there will be no other hope. In fact, I am not afraid of this upcoming death. Since I appeared in this sealed place, I have been waiting for the arrival of this day... A hundred years ago, I should have died, and they all thought that I was dead. It is redundant to live to this day."
Chen Xue blinked her eyes and didn't understand her words.
Because she has concern in her heart, she is very afraid of death now and does not want to go back to the days when she once struggled on the verge of death and survival every day. Living is always better than dying... Why would she say that she would be redundant until now?
The old man looked at Chen Xue and let out a slight murmur: "A crystal-like girl... This is the last gift of Goddess Xiyao to me in my life?"
"Little sister, now I no longer have the ability to walk... Can you help me?" said the old man.
Chen Xue nodded: "Well! If I can do it, I will definitely help you seriously."
"Thank you, little sister... can you help me get some water back? Just about three hundred meters ahead, there is a stream where you can get water." The old man's eyes turned outside the cave, and his dim eyes had almost no light.
"Okay... I'll go right away, old lady, wait a moment... By the way, old lady, can I know your name? The old lady must be a person with a story." Chen Xue asked curiously with her face raised.
"Is my real name... I have long forgotten it. Later, I had a new name, and they all called me the Hundred Herb Sage. Just a hundred years ago, Hundred Herb Sage had become a dead person... But no one knew that she was not dead, but was lingering in this sealed place, waiting for death in the passage of life, and could never go back." The old man said in a lonely voice.
