A Great Price!
The voices of the commoners quieted down.
At this moment, they looked up at the scene above their heads with extremely complicated feelings.
They wanted to know the truth.
Was Ying Ziye a sinner or a hero?
On the screen.
When the white-bearded old man heard Ying Ziye's words, he was stunned.
He seemed very surprised.
He put down the fishing rod and looked at Ying Ziye with a surprised expression.
"Little fellow, you were able to ask the question of a Saint just now. This means that you should know how precious a Saint is, right?”
Ying Ziye nodded.”
"Father and the generals are all cultivating. They say that it's not difficult to become a strong person, but there might be no hope of becoming a Saint in this lifetime.”
" In that case," the old man said patiently," a person who is about to become a saint gave you a chance to make a wish. What do you want to do with it?"”
Ying Ziye's eyes lit up." Of course, I'm here to share my father's worries and save the world from hell."”
The old man's eyelids twitched.
He could tell Ying Ziye this because he really liked Ying Ziye.
Ying Ziye had a delicate appearance and a good character.
Moreover, he had the royal family's luck, so he was very suitable for cultivation.
Therefore, he had a heart of love for talent, and deliberately revealed his identity in front of Ying Ziye.
He was too lazy to waste time on the 9,999 people who had made their wishes. He would directly help them fulfill their wishes, then erase their memories and never see them again.
But who knew that he would be so patient with Ying Ziye?
However, Ying Ziye was still stubborn and wanted to give this precious opportunity to others.
Could it be that I didn't hint enough?
The old man looked at Ying Ziye and said," Don't you want a Sage Master?”
"You should understand how many people dream of becoming a Sage Master.”
The seven-year-old Ying Ziye said seriously, Of course I understand the benefits of having a Sage Master.”
"But when I close my eyes, all I see is the despair of the commoners.”
"What I saw was the children of my age, their emaciated and dying despair.”
"What I saw was Imperial Father's sleepless night and the sorrow on his face.”
"When I see this, my heart aches. I want to help them.”
"I don't want to see this…"
His eyes were bright and clear without any hesitation."So, can you fulfill my wish?”
The old man stared at the young man with bright eyes and white teeth.
Listening to the young man's words, his heart was filled with concern for others.
He was silent for a while.
Finally, he let out a long sigh.
"You are the dumbest and most inconsiderate of all the people who wish for me.”
Ying Ziye wasn't angry.
He laughed instead." Grandpa is not a smart person. If he was, he would not have made it a great ambition to do good deeds and help others realize their dreams.”
The old man was stunned.
He suddenly burst out laughing.
He raised his head and drank a mouthful of wine. He laughed and said,"You're right. We're all stupid people.”
The commoners looked at the image of the " stupid " old man and young man. When they heard their laughter, their hearts suddenly felt stifled.
Was Ying Ziye stupid?
He had given his only chance to make a wish to them so that they could escape the sea of suffering and survive. Could this be called stupid?
Ying Zheng looked at the old man and the young man, listening to Ying Ziye's clear and crisp laughter.
"Bring me the wine!" he suddenly said.
Zhang Han was stunned.
But he didn't dare to hesitate.
He hurriedly ran to a nearby tavern and bought a jar of wine for Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng opened the wine jar, raised his head, and took a gulp of wine.
As this mouthful of wine entered his stomach, Ying Zheng's sour heart was slightly relieved.
"Zhang Han, don't you think my seven-year-old son is the kindest and smartest child in the world?”
Zhang Han took a deep breath. At this moment, he understood what Ying Zheng meant.
"Yes!" He nodded heavily.
"But…"
" What?" Ying Zheng was disappointed and confused." Why did he become like that in the end?"”
——
Ying Ziye looked at his seven-year-old self.
A rare smile appeared on his face.
At that time, he was so young.
But at that time, he was also so pure.
He rejected the offer without hesitation.
On the one hand, he knew that he did not need the legacy of a saint at all. With the system, he would be invincible in the world sooner or later.
On the other hand, it was because he carried the memories and karma of the original owner. The words he said and the decisions he made.
It was what he said and did from the bottom of his heart.
He wished for the common people to be safe and sound, and for his loved ones to be safe and sound.
——
On the screen.
The seven-year-old Ying Ziye looked at the old man drinking happily and said greedily,""Is this wine good?"
The old man glanced at Ying Ziye and said with a smile,""You're still young, so you can't drink."
Ying Ziye pouted.
It was as if at this moment, he had the joy that a seven-year-old child should have.
It was not a burden that weighed down on the entire world.
Although Ying Ziye refused to become his student, the old man liked Ying Ziye even more.
He found that Ying Ziye was the same person as him, the same stupid person in the eyes of the secular world.
He took a sip of wine and looked into the distance."If it rains in a small place, with my ability, I can still do it.”
"But if the area is too big, I can't do it.”
Ying Ziye's eyes suddenly widened and he was a little disappointed.""I see."
" I'm not a Saint yet, after all," the old man explained." I can only become a Saint and have the ability of a Saint after I fulfill your wish."”
" Then can I make other wishes first?" Ying Ziye asked." After I help you become a saint, can you send down the rain?"”
The old man laughed,"You're a slippery one.”
He drank another mouthful of wine and said," After becoming a Saint, there are many things that you can't do. You'll be tainted by karma. Rainfall for the common people of the world. This karma is too great. I can't bear this karma.”
"The reason why I dare to fulfill your wish now is because the karma is in your body. I'm only fulfilling my grand wish.”
" Furthermore, I can't become a Saint immediately after fulfilling your wish. This requires an opportunity. It might take a month, or ten years, or even a hundred years.“
Ying Ziye hurriedly shook his head." That won't do. It's been too long. How can the disaster victims wait for you for ten or a hundred years?"”
"And…"
He lowered his head." I don't want anything to happen to you because of my wish."”
The old man's eyes flashed.
"Are you concerned about me?" he asked.”
Ying Ziye nodded." You are a good person. I don't want anything to happen to you because of me."”
The old man's eyes suddenly revealed a look of reminiscence.
His expression alternated between sadness, happiness, gratification, and lament.
It was as if he had fallen into a certain memory and could not extricate himself.
After a while, he shook his head.
"I'm getting old, I'm getting old. I never thought that I would still do such an impulsive thing."”
He suddenly looked at Ying Ziye.”
"With my current strength, even if I use a secret technique, I won't be able to control the weather in the world.”
"However, if you are willing to help me, I can still do it if I risk my life.”
Ying Ziye's eyes lit up.”
"Don't be anxious. Let me finish.”
The old man looked at Ying Ziye very seriously and said,""This will require you to pay a huge price. It's not too late for you to make a decision after you hear me out.”
"What price?" Ying Ziye asked.
The old man's gaze was heavy. He slowly stood up and placed his hands behind his back.
The sky above them suddenly turned from blue to dark clouds.
At this moment, even the commoners below felt immense pressure.
"What is the price?"
Someone couldn't help but swallow.
"What price did His Highness pay for us? Old man, tell me quickly!"
Someone urged anxiously.
At that moment, they heard the old man's heavy voice.
" Twenty years of your lifespan!"
Suddenly.
The wind stopped flowing, and time seemed to stop.
Everyone felt their breathing freeze.
