Chapter 234 I will remember your chapter
The old man smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes:
"Of course, the story of this conch has been sung in the heart of an old man like me for a long time. Whenever the tide rises and falls, it will make a melodious sound, and that sound seems to be able to penetrate the clouds and control the waves of the sea. In ancient legends, the ancient gentleman god once played such a conch. Every time he blew, the waves would surge, as if responding to his call."
Xing'er listened attentively, as if he could imagine the magnificent scene. He hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the conch to the old man:
"Since you know it so well, then... I'll give it to you. Perhaps you can protect it better."
However, the old man waved his hand and rejected Xing'er's kindness:
"No, child. This conch belongs to you. It is part of your destiny. Only you can truly understand its meaning, and only you can harness its power. Go, find your mission, and save this world that needs you."
After saying this, the old man closed his eyes, as if he was lost in thought.
Xing'er stayed in the house to keep warm. Although his body was shivering involuntarily due to the cold, he still tried to restrain himself, not wanting to appear too weak in front of the old man.
However, an inadvertent sneeze broke the silence in the room, causing the white-bearded old man to sneer: "Huh, how can a man be so delicate?"
Having said that, the old man's eyes revealed some concern. He stood up and walked to the stove, picked up a clay pot, and poured a cup of hot tea for Xing'er.
"Drink, warm yourself up."
The old man handed the teacup to Xing'er, his tone becoming more gentle.
Xing'er took the teacup gratefully, and the warmth spread from the palm of her hand to her heart.
He took a sip of tea and immediately felt his whole body warm up.
At this moment, the mark between his eyebrows inadvertently flashed a faint light, which was the symbol of his identity and mission, and also the source of his strength.
The white-bearded old man keenly captured this change. He widened his eyes and looked at Xing'er carefully, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
“You…the mark between your eyebrows…this is…” The old man’s voice trembled slightly, obviously shocked by the scene before him.
"Senior, do you know this mark?" Xing'er also noticed his changes and asked tentatively.
The old man took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
"Yes, I know. This mark represents endless potential and responsibility. It seems that you are indeed not an ordinary person."
As he spoke, the old man turned his gaze to the slate in Xing'er's hand, "In that case, I will help you look at this slate."
The old man took the slate and began to study it carefully. His eyes were sometimes solemn and sometimes flashing, as if he was having some mysterious communication with the slate.
Xing'er was playing with the conch at the side, his thoughts drifting away with the rotation of the conch.
Suddenly, he put the conch to his ear, and a melodious sound seemed to come from time and space, awakening the memory deep in his heart - the "Star Sea Frenzy" mental method, which was a powerful force he gained in an adventure.
"The sea of stars gathers, the tide surges, and the dust of the world is washed away." Xing'er silently recited the mental method in her heart, and felt a powerful force surging in her body, as if it was going to break through the shackles and soar into the sky.
Seeing this, the old man mistakenly thought that Xing'er had a new ambition and determination. He nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Okay! Just like this, become a hero and use your strength to protect this world!"
Xing'er smiled slightly. He naturally understood that it was not easy to succeed.
He still has a long way to go, but as long as he has this faith and strength, he is fearless.
The old man narrowed his eyes and studied the stone slab carefully for a long time. Finally, he slowly said, "My guess is correct. The information revealed on this stone slab is exactly about the secret realm of the valley."
Xing'er heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Secret Valley? I have been in the spirit world for so long, and I have never heard of this place."
The old man sighed and explained:
"The Secret Valley is an ancient and mysterious place, which contains endless mysteries and power. However, because it is too powerful, the people in the spirit world are both awed and afraid of it. Gradually, this place was forgotten. It is no longer mentioned, as if it never existed."
"Then where is this place?" Xing'er asked, with curiosity and determination in her eyes. "I'm not afraid of its power, I just want to know the truth."
The old man shook his head, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face:
"The Secret Valley is not a fixed location. It exists in the cracks of time and space and is changing all the time. It is almost impossible to find it. However, there is one thing that can serve as a proof of the way there, and that is the stone tablet in your hand."
"This slate?" Xing'er looked down at the slate in her hand, and an inexplicable excitement surged in her heart, "Can it really lead me to the secret realm of the valley?"
"Yes," the old man answered affirmatively, "This stone slab is the pass to the secret valley. Only those who possess it can find that mysterious place. However, even with the pass, you still need a chance. When the chance comes, you will naturally know how to go to the secret valley."
At this point, the old man stood up and signaled Xing'er that she could leave. "That's all I can tell you. If you have warmed up, please leave. Remember, no matter what you will face in the future, you must maintain your courage and determination."
Xing Er stood up and bowed deeply to the old man. "Thank you, senior. I will remember your words and continue to find my way."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the hut.
"Thank you!" When Xing'er stepped out of the hut and was about to go home, he realized that he had not thanked the old man, so he should at least leave some money for him to live on.
He couldn't help but look back and prepared to leave some money.
However, to his surprise, the simple yet mysterious hut disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.
At the same time, the scene before his eyes changed dramatically. The vast ocean quietly retreated, and was replaced by a lush forest. The dense trees towered into the clouds, and the sunlight shone through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.
Just when Xing'er was filled with doubts and confusion, that familiar and old voice sounded in his ears again:
"Don't come looking for me, and don't say you've seen me. Don't come looking for this sea again."
This sentence was like an order and also like a warning, which made Xing'er shiver.
He realized that he might have just experienced an incredible adventure, and that the old man with white beard and the sea where he was located were hiding unknown secrets.
