Chapter Fifty-Nine: Like a Dream
It's like a dream
Starry Sky touched the raindrops that fell on his face and looked up at the sky, where it was already drizzling.
"It's... What's going on? Did I get into the painting?"
It turned out that after the starry sky entered the room, and at the behest of the city lord, he stepped forward to observe the landscape paintings on the wall.
He dared to assure that it was definitely the first time he had seen the landscape painting in front of him, but he was filled with an inexplicable feeling, which was inexplicable, as if there was an inexplicable guide to guide him to be compatible with it, as if he was a part of the painting.
When I saw the landscape painting for the first time in the starry sky, I suddenly felt a headache in my head, and it was accompanied by a strong suction force.
At this time, the starry sky has indeed been integrated into this landscape painting, but the strange thing is that he can still see himself and the city lord in the room.
Starry Sky suddenly felt creepy, and looked at "himself" in the room in a daze.
At this moment, the "self" in the room was expressionless, standing in place, his eyes were empty and weak, looking at the landscape paintings on the wall in a daze, as if he had been stripped of his soul, and the city lord on the side was confined with his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about something.
Xingkong looked at himself in the room, and touched his current body, it felt very real, yes, his current self did enter the landscape painting, and his position was exactly the same as in the landscape painting.
After thinking about it for a long time, the starry sky has never been able to figure out what is going on and why there is an extra "self" all of a sudden.
After a long time, he slowly calmed down and looked around at the starry sky.
At this moment, I am in a deep mountain and old forest, the mountain here is very high, it seems to have been connected to the sky, on the huge mountain, there are giant trees, the reason why it is called a giant tree, because the trees that grow here are too thick, each big tree is the size of an ordinary house, standing upright, straight into the sky.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the starry sky secretly smacked his tongue:
"What the hell is this place, and why are there such huge trees?"
Just as the starry sky was thinking wildly, suddenly the painting style changed, and after a period of dizziness, he was replaced by a new environment.
This is a quiet world, and all kinds of strange flowers and plants grow on the ground, waiting to bloom.
Suddenly, clouds and thunder rolled in the sky, and after a while, a drizzle began to fall, and the raindrops fell on the starry sky's face.
Xingkong touched the raindrops on his face, and then his face changed greatly, and the raindrops actually emitted a strong smell of blood.
At this time, the starry sky found that the flowers and plants that were originally budding to be released were growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye under the moisture of raindrops.
At this moment, Starry Sky clearly felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him in the distance, and then, he raised his head and looked at it with his senses.
I saw that not far in front of me, there was a calf looking at him, his eyes were full of tranquility, but it was very strange that the calf was snow-white, and there was no trace of variegation on his body.
Starry Sky was taken aback, and suddenly felt surprised, and at the same time, a series of question marks rose in his mind:
"Why does the rain here smell of blood? The growth rate of flowers and plants is also unreasonable, and the strangest thing is that when will there be a snow-white calf in this world?"
The more Starry Sky thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but after trying many times, he could see everything in the room, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break out of this strange landscape painting.
In desperation, the starry sky cautiously approached the calf, just when he was about to approach the white calf, suddenly, the quiet world disappeared, the flowers and plants disappeared without a trace, the only thing that remained unchanged was the white calf, at this moment the calf followed closely behind the starry sky, his eyes were full of dependence.
In this way, the white calf accompanies the starry sky, wandering around in this strange world, where the weather is unpredictable, sometimes the sun is shining, sometimes the rain is raining.
Unconsciously, Starry Sky's hair gradually turned gray, and his face was covered with beards, and the Zou lines on his face reminded Starry Sky that he had entered his twilight years.
At this time, the starry sky, I felt that the vitality of my whole body was slowly disappearing, and the whole palm looked extremely dry, let alone walking, even if there was a gust of wind now, I would fall down at any time.
However, the strange thing is that the white calf next to him is still the same, although the starry sky is old and dying, the white calf still looks alive, and the dependence on the starry sky in his eyes has not diminished.
"Is this what I'm going to be like when my end comes? Hehe, I'm going to die like this? No, I still have a lot of things to do, I can't die."
Starry Sky looked at himself in front of him, his heart was full of anger and unwillingness, although he didn't understand why all this was going on, but he was indeed on the verge of death.
"Hey, do you think Sword Wuxin can still be considered a sword?"
At this moment, the white calf beside him suddenly spoke, looked up at the sky, as if asking about the starry sky, and seemed to be talking to himself.
From the calf's eyes, the starry sky saw a human-like expression, which was very real.
"This ...... The sword has no heart, it should still be a sword."
Xingkong was very surprised, why the calf beside him was able to speak, and his eyes were so vivid, and then he thought about it and replied confusedly, in his opinion, the sword has no heart, how can he have a heart or not.
Hearing this, the white calf beside him thought for a moment, then nodded, and shook his head at the same time.
Starry Sky looked at the white calf blankly, not knowing why.
"Then I'm asking you, if people don't have a heart, can they still live?"
The white calf froze, lowered his head and looked at the starry sky, and slowly spoke.
"Naturally, I can't, my heart is gone, how can I not die"
Xingkong didn't think about it, and replied casually, in his opinion, this white calf is clearly to ask another question that is not a problem, and a three-year-old child knows that he can't survive without a heart.
Just after the starry sky answered the white calf's words, the white calf's body suddenly began to age slowly, and after a while, on the white calf's face, it actually manifested the old state that human beings should have, and the body gradually began to dry up, and finally turned into a ball of white light, disappearing into this world.
At the moment when the white calf finally disappeared, hot tears fell from the corners of his eyes, his eyes were full of various colors, staring directly at the starry sky until he disappeared, his eyes were full of doubts and unwillingness, but also accompanied by hope and relief.
Watching the white calf gradually age until it disappears, the starry sky is full of sadness, this feeling is very real, as if the death of a loved one who has accompanied him for many years, and like the collapse of a majestic mountain.
Starry Sky looked at the direction in which the white calf disappeared, and was in a daze:
"Am I wrong? If a person has no heart, he can survive?"
The starry sky fell into a deep confusion.
At this moment, Starry Sky's body has undergone tremendous changes, the original aging body is slowly recovering, and the hair is also turning from white to black at an alarming speed.
It's just strange that in the body of the starry sky there are inexplicably multiple hearts, yes, the heart, a living heart.
At the same time, in the depths of the distant Illusory Sea, a huge heart suddenly shook violently, as if something inside it was constantly hitting and would burst open at any time.
After a long time, the starry sky woke up and slowly opened his eyes.
Only then did he realize that at some point, he had appeared in the original room, and the city lord on the side was staring at him, his eyes full of doubts.
Immediately, Starry Sky hurriedly checked his body, and found that there was no change from before, and the heart in his body was gone.
Looking up at the landscape painting on the wall, there is no more vision at this moment, and the landscape painting in front of me looks clearly an ordinary painting, and there is nothing surprising about it.
"Is it all a hallucination, or maybe maybe I had a weird dream, but why is that feeling so real?"
Xingkong shook his head heavily, and said in his mouth.
"Little brother, tell me, what did you just see?"
Just as the starry sky was thinking wildly, the city lord on the side asked, his words full of eagerness.
At this time, the starry sky suddenly woke up, and hurriedly looked up at you to the city lord.
Since the city lord had his back to him before, he didn't see it too clearly, and at this time, the city lord's appearance was completely displayed in front of the starry sky.
I saw that the city lord was about forty years old, with a slender face, thick eyebrows, and a straight and tall nose bridge, and the whole person looked very majestic, with a natural strong demeanor.
However, at this time, the city lord looked at the starry sky, and his face showed an incongruous eagerness and melancholy.
"Meet the lord of the city, the kid is rude"
Only then did the starry sky react, because he had been immersed in the scene of landscape painting just now, so that he ignored the existence of the city lord, and suddenly felt embarrassed and restrained.
"It's okay, it's okay, tell me, what did you just see?
The city lord did not blame the starry sky for his rudeness, but kept urging the starry sky, and the eagerness in his eyes became even stronger.
Seeing this, Starry Sky thought for a moment, but still told the city lord everything he saw, and then looked at each other nervously.
"What? You say the man asks you, "If you don't have a heart, can you live?" and you feel a living heart in your body."
When the city lord heard this, he was immediately shocked, his eyes were full of horror, and when the starry sky saw this, he nodded slowly to show his affirmation.
"Sure enough, it's the Holy Son of Heavenly Dao, good! good!"
The city lord said three good words in a row, and then looked at the starry sky, his eyes full of relief.
"City Lord, the Heavenly Dao Holy Son you said..."
"You don't need to know this for the time being, in the future, when the time is ripe, you will naturally know"
The city lord interrupted the starry sky's question, and at the same time sold a pass, and did not plan to call the so-called Heavenly Dao Holy Son, and when the starry sky saw this, he kept silent.
