Chapter 124: Old Man Time's Only Disciple
When I regained consciousness, I found that my eyes were snow-white, or to be exact, spotless. II. V. VIII
Where am I? How can there be such a white world?
Is this death? That's not right, I remember that there seemed to be nine golden clouds above my head before, it seemed to be some kind of Nine Souls Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, I also heard someone say that as long as you survive through the bombardment of this Nine Golden Thunder, you will successfully advance to the Nine Souls!
Did I pass it, or was it a hallucination after being struck by lightning?
I instinctively looked down at my body, and there was nothing!
Suddenly, I was very confused as to why I could feel myself but couldn't see myself.
It's all really weird!
I tried to take a few steps forward, but I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, and then I tried to run again, and everything was fine.
However, I ran for about a few kilometers in one go, and I couldn't see anything around me except that it was still snow-white, and even I didn't seem to exist at all.
What the hell is going on! I'm crazy!
"Anyone? Yes...... Person...... ......" I shouted, even in a long note.
But no matter how much I shouted, I couldn't hear anything but my own voice.
Just when I was at a great loss, all of a sudden, I felt as if my body was getting bigger, and I had the illusion that I hadn't changed, but that everything around me was shrinking rapidly.
Gradually, I could see something, a bit like a giant pointer getting smaller and smaller, and in front of the pointer there was something like a number.
After that, two more pointers appeared, and more numbers.
As these things grew smaller and smaller, about the same size as me, and floated silently in the air in front of me, I was finally surprised to find that I was in a huge clock!
It's just that the hands of this clock don't move, I don't know if the clock is broken, or if it's just where I am, this weird snow-white world itself has no time, or time stands still.
So, curiously, I walked around this peculiar-looking clock, and found that except for the three hands and twelve symbols that looked like numbers, which were silver, the rest of the clock was like my body, and it was also invisible, without a shell, without a clockwork, without a gear, and without any buttons.
But in the dark, I always felt that there was an inexplicable urge in my heart to let the clock move. It seems that as long as I can make this clock move, I will know where I am.
As the urge grew stronger, I was at a loss because I couldn't figure out how I could turn on this clockwork, without any buttons, and get it moving.
In desperation, I sat down cross-legged, stared at the clock in front of me, and studied it carefully.
Because there are only three hands and numbers, I first looked at the three hands, and there is nothing particularly strange, that is, there are three hands of different thicknesses, the longest and thinnest is naturally the second hand, and the other two are obviously the minute hand and the hour hand.
I looked at the time indicated by the current hour and minute hands, and ten o'clock was also normal, because most businessmen who sell clocks, but if they let the clock stand still, they generally deliberately set the time to ten o'clock, because the clock only has the hour hand at this moment, and the position and angle of the minute hand are the most beautiful.
It is said that only the hour and minute hands at this moment can give people a sense of visual balance, and it is also the most pleasant and calm time, and only in this mood can the greatest desire to buy can be stimulated.
Since the hands could not see anything, I had to study the circle of symbols that looked like numbers, and the reason why I said that they looked like numbers was because if the circle of symbols were not circled and pointed by the hour and minute hands, I would never think that they represented numbers.
These obscure-looking ancient symbols are more cumbersome than the most complex texts I have ever seen, and they are not even words, but some kind of very delicately carved pattern, or some kind of ancient totem with great symbolic meaning.
Looking at it, I feel that each of these symbols is like the most exquisite carved painting, and the scenes depicted in it seem to be different, but there is a subtle relationship.
Obviously, there must be some kind of deep meaning in this circle of so-called number symbols, so I plan to calmly take a closer look at them one by one to see if I can be inspired.
As for the order, I decided to start at the top twelve o'clock and look around clockwise to see if I could get the hint I was expecting.
In the first symbol, most of them are wavy lines, densely packed, although there is no regularity in the arrangement, but I always feel that there is some kind of special rhythm implied, as if it is silently telling something, and occasionally I can see some wavy lines entangled with each other, turning into strange things.
Suddenly, I felt that there was a sea in front of me, dotted with islands of different sizes, and the sun was shining, and there was a feeling of spring blooming towards the sea.
The only fly in the ointment was that there was no life, a little lifeless, I thought to myself, maybe it was because there were no birds, no fish jumping, no coconut trees.
Later, I looked at the second symbol, and found that it looked a little more comfortable than the first symbol, that is, there were some different lines in the picture, there were some patterns like birds, fish, and even coconut trees, and suddenly there was a sense of vitality and vitality, which was refreshing.
But looking at it, I still feel that something is missing, and after thinking for a while, I think it should be people, no matter how beautiful a place is, without people, there will be less popularity, just like a good concert, if there is no audience, it will lose the meaning of existence.
So, with this hint of anticipation, I looked at the third symbol, and as I expected, the island in the picture became a land beach, and there were a few more special lines on the seaside, which simply outlined a person, who seemed to be standing thoughtfully on the seashore, looking into the distance, as if completely intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in front of him.
However, I don't know why, but I can't get excited in my heart, and I even feel more and more sad, as if I am standing alone on the deserted beach, listening to the saddest music with headphones on, and missing her who I love the most.
I suddenly realized that no matter how beautiful a place is, without the company of the people I love the most, it can only be a poignant.
With this bleak state of mind, I looked at the fourth symbol, and in the picture shown by this symbol, I saw a warm and sweet scene, that is, a couple clinging to each other finally appeared, and even the birds and fish in the picture seemed to be in pairs.
I couldn't help but smile faintly, because I like this warm and sweet sense of picture, which makes me feel no longer empty and lonely, and I am full of confidence in the future.
But soon I felt that there was still something missing, and after thinking about it carefully, I remembered that it was home, and since I had the person I loved the most, I wanted to give her a beautiful home that could shelter her from the wind and rain and enjoy life with peace of mind.
Just like a bird that flies farther, it will stop and build a warm nest for itself, and then give birth to the next generation, which is the most perfect life.
And this wish of mine really appears in the picture represented by the fifth symbol.
The lines in the painting have changed from the previous soothing style to a bit violent, showing a seaside scene in an extremely harsh climate. There were hardly any birds to be seen, and the fish seemed to have dived to the bottom of the sea and were reluctant to come out, and even the trees had fallen in large pieces.
I felt very depressed when I saw this kind of picture, and I could hardly breathe.
However, when I saw a house by the sea, and the family of three in the house was having a candlelight dinner together, I felt a lot more relaxed, it turned out that real life is inseparable from a stable home, and with a home can you enjoy the real joy of family.
I looked at the fifth symbol for a long time, and then I reluctantly looked at the sixth symbol, only to see that in the picture embodied in the sixth symbol, the house has become bigger, and there are more people, which is obviously the picture of a large family with four generations in the same house.
I seem to see myself gray-haired, playing with my great-grandson with my white-headed wife.
At that moment, I knew that the end of our lives would come to an end, and we old people would die, and our grandchildren would grow up to create their own wonderful lives.
After reading the sixth symbol, I suddenly didn't want to look at the next symbol, because I knew that the further I went, the picture must start to gradually return to the first symbol I first saw, which means that everything is back to square one.
After all, the twelve symbols represent the time numbers of this huge clock, and although time is always rolling forward, it is also constantly reincarnated, so there will be the change of the sun and the moon, and then day after day, year after year, life after life.
No matter how beautiful the starry sky is, it will be covered by the light of the sunrise and disappear, and the most beautiful sunshine, there is also the moment when the sun sets, birds, fish, trees, and human beings, too, can not stand the test of time, and finally fade out of this complicated world, which is the most essential essence of life, but also the most cruel and ruthless side of life.
Even though I didn't want to face the next few symbols, I continued to read in order to solve the reason why I was currently trapped.
Starting from the seventh symbol, until the tenth symbol, there are fewer and fewer wavy lines on the picture, more and more lines representing islands and houses, and more and more people, especially in the picture shown in the tenth symbol, the sea is almost invisible, it seems that the whole world is full of people, birds, fish, trees, even the sunlight is invisible, and all that is left is dense people.
And I can feel that the people in the picture seem to be still fighting, fighting each other, fighting frantically, as if they have to fight to survive.
Suddenly I had a bad feeling and instinctively looked at the eleventh symbol, only to find that it was just a silver square with no lines on it.
So I stood up in amazement, and slowly approached the clock, little by little, to the eleventh blank symbol, for I could not understand why there were no patterns.
I glanced at the twelfth symbol, the first one I had looked at before, and it was still a dense wavy line, a world except for the sea and scattered islands.
The difference between the picture expressed by this symbol and the picture expressed by the tenth symbol is too great, so why are so many people missing?
Obviously, the answer lies in the eleventh symbol.
Just as I was staring at the eleventh symbol and falling into deep thought, I didn't expect that a kind old man's head gradually appeared in the center of this symbol, he looked me up and down for a while, and actually spoke: "It's been a long time since I've seen a young man who activates the Nine Souls, my name is Time, I don't know if you want to be my only disciple?"
"What! are you time?" I cried out in surprise, unable to calm down for a long time......
