Volume 1 The Boy Here Chapter 48 Looking for the Traces of Time
At the southernmost tip of the world there is a sea, no one knows how big it is, hence the name - the sea.
The sea is not calm, there are always waves rolling up for no reason, covering the sky, like the big hand of death, which can easily grasp everything in countless thousands of heavenly domes into the sea, and then disappear, even those who have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth are fearful, let alone ordinary people?
The fishermen on the seashore can only go to sea for a hundred miles with all they have, the great Confucians of the southern country can chant poems for thousands of miles overseas, and the flying boat can go to sea for thousands of miles, but ...... That's all.
Further out, even after walking thousands of miles, there is no one to be seen.
At this time, countless thousands of miles away, a huge wave was sweeping in.
Bang~
A loud bang resounded through the sky, and the heavens and the earth were filled with an irresistible sonic boom, and countless sea creatures were shattered, and then fell into the sea in pieces, even the huge sea beasts with a thousand feet in length were covered in blood, dying on the surface of the sea wailing. Storms and rains slap relentlessly at vulnerable creatures, countless seas are stained red with blood, and surviving ocean predators frantically pick up delicious food.
Everything is so small in front of heaven and earth.
Somewhere, a waterfall slanted down from the sky, and the entrance to the sea continued to stir up "waves" as high as 100 zhang, as if it were water from nine heavens away. However, this is only the remnant of the great wave, blocked by a mysterious force, flowing down a barrier.
Inside the barrier is an island with a radius of thousands of miles, insignificant in the vast sea, but this island, under the huge waves, is safe and sound.
A woman in a yellow shirt stood in the barrier with her hands in her hands, her hazy body and hazy eyes looking indifferently at everything outside the barrier.
She could easily calm the wave, but she wouldn't, because this is nature, and she can't change it, because someone doesn't allow her to do it, and that's itβthe sky.
This is the rule of heaven and earth, and she can't change it, because she is not sure if she can win the sky.
......
The islands are overgrown with towering ancient trees, thousands of years old, and some even more than that.
A huge, ancient, vicissitudes of the city lying quietly in the center of the island, the city wall is hundreds of zhang high, dozens of zhang thick, occupying more than half of the island's land, mottled traces tell its former glory, the remnants of the army are inserted all over the west city gate, and the west city wall is the only broken city wall, is a blood-colored city wall, stained red by blood, thousands of years, the smell of blood is still permeating the west city.
On the south gate of the city are written two magnificent and domineering characters - the capital.
This seems to be the capital of a certain dynasty, but once the dynasty is shattered, the glorious capital is also shattered.
The city was orderly divided into countless squares, chambers of commerce, Fengyue, tiles, official residences, private residences, and imperial cities...... It is distributed in an orderly manner, which shows how prosperous it used to be.
Many suspended attics, mountains, and flying boats have survived thousands of years, and they can still be suspended in the sky without collapsing.
The woman appeared above the city, and stood like this until the wind was calm and the waves were calm outside.
If you can see this small island as dust from outside the sky, then you can see that this island is slowly approaching the mainland, and no one knows when it will collide with the mainland, because one moment it may be still, but the next moment it is thousands of miles away.
Ethereal and elusive, it's hard to find this legendary island by a woman in a yellow shirt.
Alas~
A sigh sounded, very soft, except for emotion, there is no other emotion, this may be the only emotion of a later person for the monuments, the emotion of the wisdom of the predecessors, the emotion of the fate of the ancient city.
A powerful force filled the entire ancient city, only to disperse into nothingness in an instant, she sighed again, this time only mixed with regret, regret that there were only some remnants of martial arts knowledge and Tao left over from that era, but there was no half of the history books about that era, as if a big hand had taken it away or destroyed, or perhaps...... There is no record of that history at all.
But she didn't care too much about this, just a little startled and forgotten, looking again, there was still no trace of the Tao of the years, only the ubiquitous mottling, this is the passage, and what she wanted...... It's a return to light.
But there is no here, I thought that if I was lucky enough to meet the legendary capital of Jokhang, I would find even half of the Taoist scroll describing the years, but now I found nothing.
Could it be that even a thousand years ago, in the era of great unification, in the era of the great avenue, and in the era of Emperor Zhao, no one studied the years?
Half a year after she talked with her master at the top of Xunyang Peak, she left for nine days and continued to travel through this world, he went to the west when the man went west to tear the end of the heavenly dome - the abyss of the sea of blood, where there was nothing but ruins, and that sword destroyed everything in the abyss palace.
She has been to the Burial Sword Mountain in the depths of Cangshan Mountain, where it is the junction of the sword path thousands of years ago, countless famous swords were buried thousands of years ago, it is said that there is a sword light in the sky for eighteen years, and the sword chant resounded in the sky for thirty years, but there is still no sword related to the years in that legendary place.
......
......
She has also been to many places, the poisonous barrier has been crisscrossing thousands of miles of poisonous forests for countless years, the Martial God Mountain where people can only climb its eleventh, and the Snow Mountain that can freeze the Holy Light powerhouse, all of which have found nothing, and finally came south here, for nearly three years, facing this silent sea every day, looking for the ruins left by the ancient sea clan, interpreting the mysterious ancient characters, and talking to the sea beasts who have lived for countless years, but they have not gotten a little way to turn back the years, even if it is not conjecture, can't the years go back?
Is everything a fantasy?
No, it can't be, no one can fool her eyes...... She turned her head to look at the sea, which had already calmed down...... Not even the heavens that are about to wake up.
She lifted her head slowly, then her feet...... In an instant, there were countless thousands of miles of sky, and there were no clouds here, only a void, and there was nothing but air.
Outside, it was pitch black, and in the darkness there was a bright moon and a sky full of stars...... She wanted to go outside, so she kept flying upward, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach the unknowable world where she wanted to go, where she couldn't go.
She wasn't strong enough, she couldn't break the laws of the world, she was still there, she couldn't break through, she tried to see, but she couldn't catch a glimpse of what she wanted to seeβnothingness.
A peaceful, gentle, resentful, arrogant, dissatisfied, and aggrieved voice came from her mouth.
"Where did you go? Why didn't the world have you? Did you go back the years and become that heartless teenager, or did you go to a place I couldn't go? You said you'd come back when my hair reached my waist, but my hair was only a little bit up to my waist, and you still didn't have a trace. Do you know that Ruoling misses you very much, do you know...... I miss you too. β
Heaven and earth were still silent, and no one could answer her, perhaps the heavens, who were about to wake up and made a message through the waves, could not answer her, because the master who boasted of having seen the heavens could not answer her.
The Master said that she was the only pinnacle throughout the ages, the pinnacle that no one in this world could reach, so what she didn't understand, no one could understand.
So, the heights are really desolate.
The far north of the world was a withered yellow, where she hadn't been, maybe there was an answer?
Thinking so, she went there.
On the way, he passed by Confucius Mountain in Nanzhou, thinking about meeting his master, so he stopped for a while.
The Master is still as gentle as before, and whoever sees him will let go of all negative emotions and listen to him, including her.
"Hasn't the Holy Lord found what he was looking for?"
"Nope. She walked up to her master and looked at the creatures in the mountains, not knowing what she was thinking.
The master did not answer, so she continued, "But Mingzhu has gone to the abyss. β
The master was not surprised, but said, "Lord Sword God has left footprints, and it is not surprising that the Holy Lord's first stop was there. β
"But there were only ruins there, and there was no anger at all, unlike the style he did, so ......" She didn't continue, she believed that the Master would understand.
But the master directly pointed out, "He has great emotions there, maybe he hates it very much, or maybe he has some story with it, an unpleasant story." β
"So he killed the killer and wanted to make it disappear completely. β
"Not bad. β
The master's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth raised, he smiled, and said: "It's just a little regrettable, I didn't have a glimpse of the sword god back then, he only accompanied the Holy Lord in Laojun Mountain for seven years before going west with a sword, and then disappeared, nine years ago, the person was also suspected to be him, but I didn't expect it to be just a projection, and I always missed it...... It's just a miss. β
"The world has boundaries, but there is no upper limit to the law, the pearl is blocked by the sky, there is no way to go out of the sky, and the depths of the sea cannot go, it is always that the sky is about to wake up, and the pearl cannot go far, otherwise at this moment, I am already countless miles away from the sea. Mingzhu took the master's words, but did not continue the master's topic, only said: "Now the far one can't go, then go to the near, there are two ethereal lights in the depths of the barren forest, Mingzhu wants to find it, in the past few years of absence, I hope the master will take care of it for nine days." β
"The Holy Lord is relieved to go. β
"Thank you. She solemnly held her hand and saluted to her master, then straightened up and said, "This time, fortunately, Mingzhu met the missing capital. β
The master turned to look at her and said, "Did you find anything?"
"Master, doesn't you care about how it looks now?"
"I saw it back then, the 100,000 soldiers in the West City Gate were buried by me, and their matching swords were also brought to the Burial Sword Mountain by me, there is nothing to care about, think about it and know what it looks like, a thousand years, not long, you can still remember. β
"It's no longer usable, but there are still some useful things, maybe there are still things that Emperor Zhao gave to future generations. Now it is drifting northward, and it is almost to the south, and I hope that the Master will take note of it, so that there will be no trouble. β
"Naturally. β
And the pearl went. β
When the words fell, she was gone...... The master sat down at the coffee table, took a sip of bitter tea to himself, then looked at the north, the direction of Cangzhou, and muttered: "If you knew that the capital was coming back, you would definitely smile from ear to ear, just like when you were in high school, dancing with your hands...... Like a child. β
ps: This chapter is to talk about some places in this world from the perspective of the Holy Lord, such as the abyss, the sea, and the burial sword mountain...... I just wanted to write. I'm also helpless.
