Chapter 2 Leaves Fall Back to the Roots
A palpable sense of temporal and spatial disarray.
The thoughts seemed to be tugged at by an invisible hand, wantonly spreading to infinity.
Accompanied by a slight headache.
Pure, mentally-tearing pain.
In the seemingly boundless darkness, Yuan Liyang suddenly opened his eyes.
Dry lips after a long sleep.
Not far away, there was a small green light on, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, as if breathing.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Liyang subconsciously turned over and touched his mobile phone from the bedside table.
It's 2:48 a.m.
At this time, of course, you should continue to sleep.
Yuan Liyang's mind was a little confused at the moment, his thinking was sluggish, and he thought for several seconds before he judged that he should continue to sleep - but his eyes just closed and suddenly opened again.
Wrong!
He jerked the covers off and rolled out of bed.
After thinking about it, he turned around and turned on the light.
it!
Here it is......
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and moistened my dry throat a little.
Blink your eyes, shake your head.
That's right, it's a small bedroom of about 20 square meters, and the interior is warm like spring.
A feeling of familiarity and strangeness.
The little green light was still breathing, bright and dim.
What's this thing called......
The road is difficult, and you should give up all the troubles that you can give up.
Those who are really reluctant to give up should at least be suppressed so that they do not affect their Dao heart.
But when something familiar appears, it is still enough to evoke a little bit of familiarity, not to mention the longing that has been dreaming for many years and has been almost imprinted in the deepest part of life?
Then, as you follow this memory, open the calendar that has long been dusty...... Boom, it seems to explode in my mind.
Yes, that's a computer monitor. Liquid crystal.
Last summer, I just changed it in time.
Turn around and pick up your phone from the bedside table.
Nokia.
Very familiar straight shape.
Yuan Liyang stretched out his finger and nodded almost reflexively......
It feels a little awkward.
I should have used something more advanced, because I seem to subconsciously feel that it is an old antique.
Wrong...... Nokia?
Mount Tai, who had practiced for thousands of years, collapsed in front of him and had nothing to worry about, and his heart almost collapsed in an instant.
The young man's still immature face showed a look of ecstasy.
it!
Did I really come back?
After hundreds of years of hard practice, in order to be able to travel through time and space and return here after attaining the Great Dao, after having decided to give up and die, he just came back?
And is it back to when you were younger?
Quickly pick up the phone again and press it on.
The time above shows that it is Thursday, February 19, 2004.
So, in other words, I should be in my third year of high school now, and there are about 100 days before the college entrance examination - that is, there are still more than ten years before my soul crosses after I die.
This one...... It's a bit of a mess.
Could it be, in fact, all the past, such as a dream bubble, is a dream that I just had?
But it shouldn't be, if it's a dream, it's too real, right?
Not to mention that the next ten years of life are so real, even the thousands of years I spent in the Dalan Star Boundary, I still remember it vividly!
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Liyang subconsciously closed his eyes to perceive, and at the same time, he slowly raised his right hand - for half a minute, he opened his eyes, and he was already a little stunned.
Nothing came.
Is it really just a dream?
But just now I really felt the aura, and I also sensed the response!
Suddenly, his ears caught a very small sound.
It was the sound of wings flickering.
Yuan Liyang was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked around the end of the bed and opened the curtain with a bang.
A light gray dove is flapping its wings outside the window, and there is nowhere to go.
Yuan Liyang opened the window, and the pigeon fluttered twice, flew in, and landed lightly on his shoulder.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, it flew obediently to the palm of his hand.
Cuckoo.
Yuan Liyang smiled, reached out to the window with satisfaction, and said, "Go!"
Having lost the pull of the "call" and regaining its freedom, the dove flapped its wings and flew away quickly.
His eyes followed its figure until it completely disappeared into the night sky, Yuan Liyang couldn't help but let out a long breath, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face again.
Only then did he notice that it was snowing outside.
At this moment, although even the street lights have long been extinguished, the white world clearly reflects the familiar flower beds downstairs, the faint walls of the opposite building, and the neon lights of the city beyond.
This is the world I am familiar with.
This is the world that has haunted me for a thousand years.
yes, it's really back.
Even if the past is in a hurry, it is just a dream, what can it do?
The point is, I'm really back!
And now it seems, they weren't just a dream!
…………
Standing at the window, Yuan Liyang couldn't help but take a deep breath of the cold air outside, and slowly spit it out - well, I don't know if it's because of the snow, today's air quality seems to be okay.
Then he realized that in 2004, it seemed that the smog was not very serious.
The memories are a little messed up!
Yuan Liyang closed the window, returned to the bed and sat for a while, barely suppressing the emotions in his heart, but then he couldn't restrain himself anymore - he took the clothes, put them on quickly, and then he opened the bedroom door with his mobile phone.
It's midnight, and Mom and Dad should be sleeping soundly.
Yuan Liyang didn't turn on the light, but with the light coming from the open bedroom, he carefully looked at the living room several times.
He peed, washed his face, and finally put on his down jacket, and then he opened the door and walked out of the house.
…………
Outside, the snow was about a centimeter thick.
It's still falling.
It's a creaking sound when you step on it.
It was so quiet that there was only the creaking sound.
Unspeakably good.
Out of the community, soon onto a familiar street.
Only a few of the signboard neon signs are still lit, reflecting the snow in a red-yellow light.
Occasionally, a car would drive cautiously past the street with its headlights on.
Yuan Liyang just creaked and stepped on the snow and walked over step by step.
Walk through one street and another street.
Aimless.
It's not a very busy place in the neighborhood.
Five years ago, their family moved out of the old community in the city and moved into the current big house of more than 130 square meters, but the location is more remote.
Fortunately, it is still not far from the first middle school in the city.
In my memory, this is a new area planned by Suzhou City, but it should have just started to be built for a few years, and it will be a few years before this area will be truly prosperous.
But it is no longer what it was a few years ago.
Here, it's the city.
It is a city of modern human society.
Once, after working hard in the imperial capital for several years, Yuan Liyang began to hate a high-rise building next to each other, hated the haze day after day, and the forever crowded subways and buses, but now, back to the world he is familiar with, standing still at a certain street corner, and opening his arms, Yuan Liyang is full of indescribable joy in his heart.
Inexplicably, there is a sense of steadfastness that leaves fall back to their roots.
Look up.
Snowflakes fell softly on his now-immature face. Cool silk.
A car glides cautiously past him at turtle speed.
It should be the old Santana.
Unlike Suzhou City ten years later, there will be traffic jams everywhere, in Suzhou City in this era, having a car is still one of the symbols of money.
The snow was so thick that the uppers of the touring shoes seemed to have been wet along the way.
He smiled, slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly, stretched his arms completely.
Take a deep breath.
At this moment, even the aura that was a few kilometers away seemed to have received some kind of powerful summoning, rushing towards his body.
In just an instant, the aura within a radius of five or six kilometers with him as the center was directly sucked into a state of near vacuum by him.
As a result, the aura in the distance was affected and began to rush over.
But in just two or three seconds, Yuan Liyang had already withdrawn his arms and opened his eyes.
The next moment, he couldn't help but turn and look to the west.
If it was said that there was actually an aura on the earth, it would surprise him a little, then when he exerted his magical powers, and in an instant, he received thousands of spiritual qi into his body, as if he had introduced a stream of water to the thirsty meridians in his body, this surprise was not enough to stir his mind.
But...... What's going on with the formation over there?
When he absorbed the aura into his body just now, he clearly noticed that just a few kilometers away, there seemed to be a place where someone had arranged some kind of magic circle to gather spiritual energy, so that when he went to absorb the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy from all directions rushed in, but only within the scope of the magic circle, the spiritual energy did not move.
Suzhou City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and in the west of the suburbs, there is Heling Mountain National Forest Park.
It is known as the "lungs of Suyang".
As soon as he thought about it, he subconsciously turned around and looked around, but found that there didn't seem to be a camera on the street now, so he shook his head self-deprecatingly.
The next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
In his last life, Yuan Liyang was an ordinary student, following the trajectory of most of his peers all the way, going to school, going to school, going to school, then getting employed, being urged to get married, and that's it.
He didn't know that there was an aura on this planet, and of course he didn't think there would be any cultivators - wasn't that a setting that would only appear in online novels?
But now, he clearly knew that even on the planet where he originally lived, there was actually an aura!
That can be imagined, there must also be cultivators?
…………
One step at a time, and the next moment, his figure appeared on another street.
In just three seconds, he was already on the outskirts of the city.
Not far away, is Heling Mountain.
The wide road at the foot of the mountain divides into a fork, which is not wide, but it is smooth and beautiful.
The road extends deep into the dense forest at the foot of Heling Mountain, where there is a beautiful area of villas.
When Yuan Liyang's figure appeared outside the villa area, he took a special look and found that there was a sign hanging outside the villa area - Heling Mountain Resort Hotel.
He looked up.
Heling Mountain is not too high, and the mountain is not too steep, after all, it appears in geography textbooks, Guan Suyang, and the mountainous area west of Suyang, which is called a hilly area.
At this moment, most of the trees on the top of the mountain have lost their leaves, but there are still some trees, even if they have a snowflake on the top, they are still verdant.
Another step, and the next moment, Yuan Liyang was already halfway up the mountain.
There, there is a beautifully renovated house.
Outside the house, there is a gazebo, which is being built in a place where you can look out over the railing.
In the pavilion, there are people.
