This went on for many years, until one day, Stone talked to someone all afternoon, and when he finally noticed me in the evening, he just stared at me and didn't say a word. I've gotten so used to its noise that it suddenly quiets down like this and just looks at me, making me feel a little scared.
It was really uncomfortable to be seen, and I couldn't help but call its name, but I waited for a long time and didn't wait for its response, which made me inexplicably angry, so I simply stopped caring about it, gathered my consciousness and prepared to rest.
I don't know how long it took, but the stone whispered my name once. This too gentle voice stirred my heart, and most of my sleepiness dissipated. Before I could reply, I heard the stone ask me:
"Susu, do you want to go to the sky to have a look?"
The tone of the stone revealed the infinite expectation of the heavenly palace, but the words fell on my ears, and did not arouse my interest in the slightest, but made me a little angry.
I've talked to it about this countless times, and I've told it not to be delusional, Heaven is not a place where anyone can go. I've said a long time ago that even if I cultivate with it for a few thousand more years, I won't necessarily be able to rank in the Immortal Class, so I really didn't expect it to be silent for an afternoon because of this question.
"I don't know, I don't want to know, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't have it before, I don't have it now, and I won't have it in the future, so don't ask me this question again, if you want to go, you can find a way to go yourself, don't take me, I can't help you." ”
"Susu, if you believe me, I will definitely protect you in the future, and no one can hurt you. ”
I was very angry, and I couldn't help but lose my temper with the stone, but its inexplicable, incomprehensible answer made me feel as if I had punched cotton. I was stunned and thought about how to answer it for a long time, but after a long time, I really didn't know what to say, so I could only say "I know" in a muffled voice.
I don't know if it was my cold answer that hurt Stone's young mind, or if the mysterious person who talked to it that day hurt Stone's fragile heart, but since then, Stone, who has always been reluctant to shut up, has become silent.
The days finally changed to the quiet they were before the absence of stones, and in this way, I remained silent with the stone for a long time, until I almost forgot that I was an epiphany, that the stone was a stone, and it shattered.
When it broke through the stone, all the clouds and mist that had not dispersed for 10,000 years dispersed, revealing a thousand feet of glow, and the whole sky was reflected with colorful light. I had never seen such a beautiful scenery before, so much so that I completely ignored the stone that showed its prototype in the glow, and only cared about letting the petals that were tightly wrapped together stain it with the dazzling light. It wasn't until it stood in front of me, casting a shadow that prevented my greedy self from absorbing the light, that I realized that the stone I had once known so well had now become a monkey.
I've thought about what the stone will look like countless times before, but I never imagined that it would turn into a monkey with no hair at all. I really wanted to laugh, but when it staggered and tried to walk in front of me, the look in its eyes was serious and scared.
"Susu, live well and wait for me to come back. ”
With these words, the stone left the place without looking back. I knew that it was no longer of this realm, so I didn't stop it, or even say goodbye to it.
I always thought that if I didn't say goodbye, there would be a goodbye day, and I was still thinking about meeting it again, and many years later, I'm glad I didn't say goodbye to it.
