Chapter 146: Mirror Realm
"On that day, countless dark red thunderbolts rushed down, tearing out the protective shields we had built, large and small, and the surging power of thunder and lightning poured in, and everything we came into contact with became scorched. In the Mirror Mountain, whether it is Cloud Thunder City or various villages and towns, most of the people are like lambs facing hungry wolves in the face of the raging heavenly thunder, without any resistance, they can only wail and cry under this manic energy of heaven and earth, turning into white bones. 」
Although there was a long time apart, but this time when they heard Wan Ning say this, Luo Banxia and Yun'e could also imagine the tragedy of the situation at that time, the area of Mirror Mountain was so vast, and there were so many people living in Yunlei City alone.
"Those of us who know how to do magic and practice the Tao have only lasted a little longer than ordinary people, but we have not escaped the fate of destruction in the end. Under the bombardment of thunder like raindrops, there is no complete land left in the territory of Jingshan. Mountains were razed, rivers were blocked, deep valleys were filled, mutilated corpses were everywhere, the earth was stained dark red with blood, and all buildings were in ruins. The pain in Wan Ning's eyes gradually thickened, and her body began to tremble slightly.
"There is no light on the earth, and the darkness is like a beast that chooses to devour people, but on the contrary, the sky is unusually gorgeous, and colorful lightning blooms like fireworks. It's just that behind that beautiful bloom, every time the price is to take away hundreds of innocent lives. 」
Luo Banxia and Yun'e had never seen the real Heavenly Tribulation, and the power of heaven and earth in this panic was terrifying.
They were speechless, and their thoughts traveled through thousands of years of Shaoguang, immersed in the apocalyptic scene of the collapse of the mountains and the collapse of the world.
"Because I awakened the power of the goddess, I had a different resonance with the thunder and lightning between heaven and earth, and with the protection of Mu Yan's thunderbolt, I barely survived that disaster. But the others were not so lucky, and by the time I regained consciousness, the entire Mirror Mountain had become a purgatory on earth. 」
Wan Ning's eyes moistened slightly, and her voice fluctuated.
"Whether it's the sacrifices in the Heavenly Fire Altar, or the ordinary people in Cloud Thunder City, or ...... Mu Yan was not spared, and there was not even a physical body left......
"Ah, Mu Yan is also ......" Yun'e lost her voice, it turned out that the weak scholar who had been with them for a few months and was dumbfounded every day had already passed away 10,000 years ago.
Wan Ning closed her eyes and breathed for a long time before she could continue. "One of the characteristics of our Yiyu clan is that they have much stronger soul power than ordinary people, which also makes the soul not disperse immediately after death. Taking advantage of this, I made a bold decision, that is, to use the secret method I inherited, and use my own power and deeds to bind the souls of the dead people in the entire Mirror Mountain, so that they will not completely disappear from this world. 」
"The secret method consumed too much true power, which also forced me to fall into a deep sleep, and at the last moment, I sealed the souls of all the people in the Mirror Mountain in my dreams, so that they could live the same life in the illusion as before. Because it was a wisp of remnant souls, they had no memory, and could only keep repeating what they had done in their lives, and I also carved the happiest time of my life into a dream, which is why you have seen the 'Evening Lemon,'. 」
"What you see and experience is one of the most important memories of my life, so this time will come and go back and forth in my dreams. This will explain the doubts you have been thinking about. 」
"This Mirror Mountain, in fact, has already become a ghost realm, and it is precisely because of my inability to let go of my nostalgia and obsession that I have been repeating the illusion for 10,000 years. What you are in now can be called the realm of the mirror. 」
"Mirror Realm......" Luo Banxia muttered to himself, this moment was like a world away.
The breeze blows, the night is dark, Yunlei City exudes a faint luster in the night, the night scene in this mirror mountain is still so beautiful, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is a bubble phantom after all, a vain
。
"In other words, everything we have done in the past few months has been in vain, and we are just self-inflicted in the illusion?" Yun'e said softly.
"I'm sorry. Wan Ning came back to her senses from her memories and sighed and said slowly, "It's not completely useless, you broke into the node of the dream realm, the Heavenly Fire Mirror, and woke me up from my sleep, and it is precisely because of this that I can take you out of here, otherwise you will only keep repeating the cycle of time in it, like being in a labyrinth, and you can't get out. 」
"We...... Are you going out?" Yun'e glanced at Luo Banxia on the side, her expression a little dazed.
"Yes, although you stay in the dream realm, time passes normally, which means that in reality it is still a few months later. I know you have a grudge in your heart, but you have strayed into the mirror mountain is really unintentional, everything here has nothing to be nostalgic for, just a piece of devastation, just remember the most beautiful appearance in the mirror mountain. 」
Wan Ning's figure began to gradually become a little vague, and her voice also had a clear sense of difficulty: "It takes a lot of mental energy to maintain this dream, I haven't been awake for a long time, and before I fall asleep again, I will send you out of the Mirror Mountain. 」
"Why do you continue to dream, just let this pass, you yourself can go out of the mirror mountain with us to see the outside world. 」
Wan Ning had a wry smile on her face: "Maybe everyone has everyone's obsession, I don't want to feel the outside world, Jingshan is my home, and Mu Yan is my world." Although dreams only deceive me over and over again, if I don't even have such deception, what can sustain me for the rest of my time?"
"My life, my beliefs, my passions, are here. I will only accompany this dream to keep drying up, feeling the familiar breath in the dream, until my divine power is exhausted, and finally turns into a pinch of loess. 」
A dazzling flash of golden light flashed, the surrounding scenery changed, and the scene changed again.
This time I came back to the streets of Cloud Thunder City during the day, and there was a man and a woman in the distance, and the two of them were holding hands and running towards this side. The man in front looked weak, sweating like rain on his face, and looked back at the back in three steps, looking extremely embarrassed, looking like he was running for his life.
Although the woman who was being led by the man was also flustered and staggering, her eyes exuded a faint soft light, looking at the man in front of her, as if she instantly had the courage to fight the world.
Wan Ning looked at the man and woman, saw her former self, and also saw the person who had desperately protected her.
It's enough to have this one person in this life.
Luo Banxia took a deep breath and tried to recover from his agitated mood. He and Yun'e both knew what this scene was, it was the second time Mu Yan and Wan Ning met, and the scene when they rescued Wan Ning, who was bullied by gangsters.
It turned out that at that moment, she had fallen in love with him.
The golden light flickered, and a gate made of energy slowly opened in the chaos of snake lightning, and the gate appeared out of thin air, and inside was a black patch, as if it was an ancient void.
Luo Banxia and Yun'e walked towards the gate together, Luo Banxia suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Wanning, I have another question that has been bothering me for a long time, can you answer it for me. 」
"Well, you say. 」
"Why do you Yiyu people call blue-eyed, we call them 'Inhumans', and people who call them humans, but you don't seem to know black-eyed people like us? 」
"It's very simple, 10,000 years ago, in our time, the earth was full of aliens, and human beings were still just born at that time, so it is not surprising that they are not recognized by the races of the world. 」
"And the Inhumans, do you have any connection with you?"
"Yes. Wan Ning said slowly, "In ancient times, Yiren once saved the lives of a generation of goddesses of our Yiyu clan and helped Jingshan survive a thunderstorm crisis. Therefore, in order to thank Inhumans for their help, the goddess at that time gave a Thunder Pendant to Inhuman, and cast a spell on that Thunder Pendant, so that Inhumans could mobilize the energy in the Mirror Mountain at will by casting spells. 」
"It turns out that there is more than one Thunder Pendant.
....." Yun'e said softly.
"Yes, these are also the ones I read from the texts of the Heavenly Fire Altar after I succeeded as the goddess. 」
"Okay, I see. Luo Banxia finally solved a problem that he couldn't figure out.
Previously, when he was in the Taishi Mountain Range, Kuzen wanted to refine the Soul Pill, which was obtained with the lives of tens of thousands of people as the introduction, but in this trip to Mirror Mountain, the formation of the second Soul Pill did not appear as many zombies as the first, and there was not even too much soul power inflow.
It turned out that the sacrifice that Kuzen used to support the formation of the Soul Pill was a huge amount of energy left in the Mirror Mountain from ancient times.
Wan Ning's figure was a little more ethereal, and she also waved to Luo Banxia and Yun'e as a final farewell.
Luo Banxia took Yun'e's hand and walked to the golden gate.
As the scene continued, a man and a woman ran past Wan Ning, who had stopped beside her, with a gentle breeze.
The two of them ignored everything that was happening around them, as if they didn't see Luo Banxia and the other three, and only fled for their lives.
Looking at the man and woman, Wan Ning's eyes were full of tenderness.
The crisp voice like the crisp cry of the silver warbler sounded, it was the song of the evening lemon, the best sound of the Yiyu clan.
So tactfully listening, the song passed through the distant years, through the fetters of life and death, and penetrated directly into the listener's heart, stirring up layers of ripples.
(One oath, one sorry)
(Hidden for many years)
(The moment when thunder and fire intertwined)
(tireless)
(Emotions and life on both shoulders)
(I was determined to be yesterday)
(Thunder casts the spell several times)
(Cutting off the fate of all living beings)
(This person was defeated by Qingtian)
(Still not changing)
(When will I feel it again)
(The last little bit)
"Mu Yan. We're all starving. 」
"Alright, okay, I'll be right away. It's not my first time cooking, so you guys wait a minute, wait a minute. 」
"Uh, what is this black lump. 」
"Hehe, this is my exclusive secret ingredient, you have a good taste for it today, try it. 」
"Well, it tastes ......."
"What's the matter, is it so unpalatable? I'll try it myself......
"How?"
「......」
(One oath, one sorry)
(Hidden for many years)
Wan Ning's singing voice is sweet and greasy, and you can see that her back is gradually dissipating, and she is about to fall into a deep sleep again.
Everything in Cloud Thunder City will be restarted again, right? Wan Ning and Mu Yan will also repeat the encounter of fate again and again.
The golden gate quickly dimmed, and Luo Banxia had already taken the lead in stepping in. Yun E stood in front of the gate and took one last look at the colorful Cloud Thunder City.
I'm about to leave, and I'm really reluctant. In this mirror mountain, so many things have happened, and it is here that she has lived with the men around her for months.
Isn't he a little similar to Wanning?
This period is a very happy memory for her, where she doesn't have to think about the disputes between the rivers and lakes, the difference between good and evil, and the deceit between different races.
After going out, back to the world they are familiar with, can she and him still be as carefree as they are now?
Her marriage has already been arranged, can she break through this thick wall of estrangement, just like Wanning and Mu Yan?
She didn't know.
"Alas," Yun'e sighed lowly, and finally stepped out of the way, stepping into the void behind the door.
The light flickered, the gate vanished, and everything was calm again.
Cloud Thunder City is still the same as it was, or rather, Cloud Thunder City in the dream world.
Only the moving singing voice is fading away, but it is still looming.
(One oath, one sorry)
(Hidden for many years)
(...... )
