Chapter 21: The Sea
The woman and Mo Yuan walked slowly along the path by Xingyue Lake in the direction of Huxin Pavilion, in such a quiet campus, even if it was just a little faster, it was inappropriate.
Between the two chatting, the Huxin Pavilion was already not far ahead, as if it could be reached in a few steps, and the cuneiform characters on the pillars between the pavilions seemed to be in front of Mo Yuan's eyes, which recorded the story of the self-destruction of a powerful country due to greed and killing gods, ready to be staged again at any time.
However, the road never seems to end.
Every time Mo Yuan got closer, the road in between extended a little more.
"Maybe it's because I want to go to the pavilion and sit down quickly," Mo Yuan said to the woman, "Because of the psychological effect, I feel that the road that is not long is a bit long." ”
"Do you feel like it's close at hand, but it's far away?"
"Well, yes, it feels like you can't finish this road. Mo Yuan replied.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, just walk slowly," said the woman, "you don't necessarily want a future headmaster like me to accompany you to that pavilion in the middle of the night, do you?"
"Naturally, I don't dare to ask for that," Mo Yuan replied, and the image of the two of them trotting along the lakeside path in the dark campus came to mind, which was indeed a little weird.
"Don't worry," Mo Yuan comforted himself, "If the current is really in a dream, time passes much faster than the real world, and I can't delay much time in the real world; ”
In this way, the two continued to walk.
In a trance, Mo Yuan felt as if he was floating in the sea, and the pavilion in the distance reflected the flickering light, like a lighthouse guiding the way.
The color of the sea is getting darker and darker, as if the dark night is gradually blending into it, and the smell of sea water is getting stronger and stronger in the air......
Mo Yuan seemed to remember something, and looked down suddenly.
His feet were on the pavement, and there was no shadow of seawater, and the fishy smell of seawater in the air disappeared in an instant.
"Mo Yuan, what's wrong with you?" the woman asked, "Why did you suddenly bow your head?"
The woman's question reminded Mo Yuan that everything was as usual, and there was nothing abnormal.
"When I think of cuneiform, I naturally think of that experience at the bottom of the sea, and it is normal to have the illusion of being a genius. Mo Yuan analyzed this in his heart, and looked at the pavilion in the distance, the pavilion did not reflect any light, "It's just an ordinary lake pavilion." Mo Yuanxin said, "When you get to the pavilion in a while, you must confirm with her the meaning of the cuneiform characters on the pillar." Why does she think that it is about astronomical knowledge, if there is something wrong, I believe that as long as I give a little hint, with her talent, she will definitely get the true meaning of the text: the story of greed and killing gods leading to the destruction of the country. ”
Thinking like this, Mo Yuan noticed that the pavilion in the distance was once again reflecting a flickering light.
In the air, the smell of seawater came to the face again, and the scenery around Moyuan turned into boundless sea water in an instant, glowing with a little starlight.
"I'm hallucinating again, I feel like I'm floating in the sea, and the air is full of the smell of seawater, just like just now," Mo Yuan said as he lowered his head, trying to make sure that his feet were actually stepping on the road.
However, there is no road surface.
At this moment, Mo Yuan was standing on the surface of the sea, steady and natural, as if it should have been.
And the feeling of floating does not come from the seawater, but from the air around you.
"Are you feeling everything I feel too?" Mo Yuan asked the woman as he looked down at everything in front of him, "What do you think this situation says ......?"
For a long time, the woman did not respond, and Mo Yuan couldn't help but look up and turn to the woman's location.
However, beside Mo Yuan, there was no one.
Mo Yuan looked around, except for the endless sea, there was no trace of a woman.
The whole world, except for Mo Yuan, is the deathly calm sea under your feet, and the starry night sky overhead.
