253 Cliff Survival
That night, the long-lost feather bell bloomed again in the dream. She closed her eyes slightly, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, reliving those beautiful and pleasant pictures: in the Tiantian Temple with a beautiful charm, she and the Divine Frog messed with the tea banquet of Master and Divine Monarch Hengtian; In the Immortal Divine Palace, she was chased madly by the crane head; In that quaint mortal town, she looked at his figure under the bright moon through the wooden window; There is also the Heavenly Pole Ice Ridge, the elves' nine-day streamer and the love on Xianyu Mountain lingers, and the Western Desert, he chases her disappearing figure......
For thousands of years, at the moment when the ancient fate reversed, he resolutely pushed her back to the silver river......
"Light Feather! Gotta Live! Don't wait for me! β
She will never forget the last advice left by Hengtian: living is more important than anything else! Inside and outside of dreams! The previous giving up was just to live better! In Hengmeng, she has been persevering, and no one knows the pain, emptiness and helplessness better than her.
I've been walking alone, and I haven't been able to sleep so relaxed for a long time. When she slowly opened her eyes again, the sun was already shining, and she saw four shining eyes staring at herβHengtian, who was lost, and the white-browed monkey on his shoulder. She couldn't help but stretch and look back at them with a smile. The white-browed monkey "chirped" a few times and ran into the jungle. He looked back a little uncomfortably, moved to sit not far away, and only exhaled for a long time, and asked a little shyly:
"Does the Seventh Lady have something on her mind?"
"After all these years, who doesn't have something to hide?" She leaned against the thick branch and answered softly.
"That, Hengtian? But Madame's best friend? He looked down and asked, as if intent on exploring someone else's secret.
"Why do you ask?" She looked at him, full of doubt.
Did he really forget everything? Or are there some remnants?
"Don't hide it from Madame, I am more vigilant these Chinese New Year's Eve. Last night, Madame kept calling the name Hengtian. I think if it were Madame's best friend, I'd better not have this name, otherwise I'd always think Madame was calling me. As he spoke, he glanced at her, and his tone was truthful.
"I'm sorry to disturb my son's rest." This time it was her turn to bow her head in shame, not knowing how to explain it.
"Hehe, I didn't mean to blame Madame!" He chuckled dryly.
The air seemed to freeze in that wordless moment. Fortunately, the white-browed monkey appeared in time, and "chirping" shouted and threw them a few wild fruits, inadvertently breaking the silence. Watching him swallow a few wild fruits with relish, she smiled and said, "You, too, will you be hungry?" β
"Huh? If you eat it like the wind, I will eat it too, right? β
Maybe he doesn't know what "hunger" tastes like at all, but he just eats like the wind every day, so he naturally wants to eat with it.
"Fortunately, the first thing you encountered was not a beast, otherwise you would have to bite raw meat and gnaw bones and grind your teeth every night." She quipped.
"Boom!" With a bang, a wild fruit from the white-eyed monkey hit her head directly.
"Like the wind, no matter how rude it is, I won't let you touch my hair!" He immediately shouted, followed by a burst of laughter and a monkey's "whoa" sound.
Having company along the way adds a lot of joy. Dozens of days later, she led them back to the bottom of the cliff. It was the old place where Xiao Leng and Yifan met before, and it was also the place of rebirth given to the Seventh Lady by Master Wuyan. However, the cave in the middle of the cliff was not the place she was going.
"Can you climb to the top of the cliff?"
She turned to look at them. At this time, the white-browed monkey and he were still looking up, their faces heavy, as if they were looking for an impossible way to climb.
"If it's just me and Rufeng, it's not a big problem. But ......"
He glanced back, struggling with how to take her to climb with him? The white-browed monkey on his shoulder suddenly turned around and flicked its long tail.
"Hang heavy objects on the tail, you can do it for a short time! If you want to climb to the top, it will take at least a day or two! If you don't have enough strength, she'll ......."
He thought it carefully. After all, only the power of the long tail, although the Seventh Lady is thin and small, it is not easy to hang upside down for a long time. With a "snap", the white-browed monkey slapped him on the top of the head in great displeasure, and then jumped off his shoulder and left angrily.
"Hehe, it needs to be quiet!" He smiled bitterly and continued, "It's getting late, why don't we find a place to rest first?" Looking for another climb tomorrow? β
She nodded, and followed him to leap onto the side of the ancient tree, leaning against the tall branch and closing her eyes to recuperate. Presumably, Yifan and Xiao Leng have already left this place, they are responsible for uniting the human race, and they will definitely not waste time in the cave for long. Wuyan's apprentice will not be an ordinary person! Except for her, who will only cause trouble......
"Like the wind - come here!"
Suddenly there was a soft cry in her ears, and she couldn't help but open her eyes, only to see a pile of open fire rising under the ancient tree. He held a flaming rattan and yelled at the white-browed monkey. The white-browed monkey stood upright, staggering around him, looking very funny.
"Jump! Jump! If you don't practice again, you will have to change your name! He laughed.
The white-browed monkey deliberately twisted, refusing to cross the burning rattan.
"Huh? Can't fly? It seems to call you - like a pig! β
He waved the rattan in his hand with a fluttering eyebrow, as amusing as a child. The white-browed monkey seemed to be enraged, and suddenly his feet kicked into the air, barely soaring through the ring of fire. He immediately clapped his hands and looked up at her as she sat high on a branch. She clasped her hands together and clapped her hands. He smiled and bent down to pick up a few feet of rattan on the ground and waved it across the fire. The red flame "snorted" and instantly burned to the top of the rattan like oil. He leapt into the air, waving his right arm, and the rattan spun into a chain loop.
The white-browed monkey cooperated in place, jumping and jumping, skillfully passing through the layers of fire rings. He dances with a vine, sometimes as nimble as a snake, sometimes as steady as a boulder. At this time, he was tightly wrapped in animal skins, without the fluttering of satin white clothes, but the dark night fire reflected the strong muscles, and the translucent face was engraved with childlike fun, plus the white-eyed monkeys with different postures of the scholars helped to entertain, and the whole dark night became unique and interesting.
They put on such a hard performance, but they just want to bring some joy. She was so moved that she almost burst into tears, and her palms stayed on her chest and she applauded. When the rattan burned to ashes, the white-browed monkey glanced at her from afar, suddenly propped her feet off the ground, jumped a few feet high and fell straight to the fire. She jumped off the high branch in fright, trying to stop the monkey body that looked like a moth to a fire.
Unexpectedly, she was still a few steps late, and she didn't have time to call when she saw the white-browed monkey fall into the fire. Suddenly, the flames flew into the air in dots, and then shimmered and fell. In the ancient forest where you can't see the starry sky, tonight is full of stars. He, Hengtian, stood opposite the remnant fire, smiling lightly, as if at the moment of first sight, nothing had changed!
Is it an open flame but you don't feel the heat at all? Is it real but endlessly illusory? Is it the fear of nightmares, but the warmth remains?
"Looks good, right?" He suddenly smirked, "I only discovered a few years ago that I could make different lights. Rufeng likes firelight, so he is the most proficient in practicing this red light. β
"Good looking. There is also a color of light between heaven and earth - the Nine Heavens Streamer. She replied distractedly.
"Nine Heavens Streamer?" He approached her and asked curiously, "What is the Nine Heavens Streamer?" β
"That is, nine kinds of celestial colors are mixed, with blue streamer as the main tone, red, yellow, and green as the beating light, and after mixing, it can become ten thousand different colors. If it's at night, the nine-day streamer will be even more exciting. Raising her head slightly, she had no intention of catching the light in his deep eyes, innocent.
Hengtian, isn't such a simple life happier? She thought to herself.
"Does the Seventh Lady know how to cultivate?"
"Hehe, that's a stunt in the divine realm, I'm afraid you still have to train like the wind for a thousand years! It's better to rest sooner. She turned around with a smile and jumped back onto the branch and pretended to close her eyes to rest.
"One day, I will be able to visit the heavenly realm." He yelled at her back, slightly unconvinced.
Like a teenager who has just debuted, he is full of energy and vigor with the attitude that everything is feasible! You must not know that this world can change dramatically in an instant, and the fate of thousands of years is broken in the tea cup! No one can refuse! When the darkness returned to silence, she peeked at him who was lying on the pillow and gradually falling asleep at the roots of the ancient tree, and thought silently:
Not only the heavenly realm, if you wish, the seven realms are free!
Perhaps because of him and Rufeng's company, as she had done for countless nights in the past, she fell asleep again. After a long time, she woke up with a monkey call, only to see hundreds of white-browed monkeys hanging on the branches, "chattering" and discussing enthusiastically, pointing to the cliff and looking at the ancient forest...... She immediately understood that they were discussing how to climb. Seeing her wake up, standing in the group of monkeys, he jumped on the thick branch with the wind on his shoulder, and said with a smile:
"It's no longer a problem to get to the top of this cliff."
Then, like the wind howling in the air. Hundreds of white-browed monkeys quickly climbed the cliff, their limbs tightly clasped into the rock crevices, their tails intertwined with each other, and formed a "monkey ladder" in the blink of an eye.
"Come on!"
He grabbed her and soared into the air, stepping on the shoulders of the white-browed monkey and hurrying into the air. Every time they leap a dozen steps, the monkeys under their feet automatically dissolve, and they run higher before them, constantly extending the "monkey ladder". It took three days and three nights to climb so fast. When he reached the top of the cliff, he was so tired that he lay on the ground panting. She wasn't much better, sitting on the floor, inhaling and exhaling with her.
"Is there a way out of the ancient forest here?" He finally couldn't help but ask.
Finally gathering some strength, she stood up and looked around, except for the huge thick trees.
"This cliff is towering into the sky, as the saying goes, I want to ......" she calmly.
"Do you think ......" He suddenly understood what he meant, and immediately got up and pulled her to the edge of the cliff.
Sure enough, the forest of eternity is in full view, but there is no edge. Gripping her hand, he carefully moved along the edge. But in addition to the ancient forest, it is still the ancient forest. And this cliff seems to be the only high cliff, surrounded by green forests.
"No wonder I've been walking for a hundred years, and I still can't get to the end. It turns out that there is no end to this ancient forest! He lamented, "I have been lost in the ancient forest, why have I never found this high ground?" β
The cliff that almost reaches into the sky should be the place where the gods are guarded. If it weren't for Xiao Leng before, she was afraid that she would never find this place. And there seems to be some kind of privilege in the dark, so that she can find a way back without much effort. Is it Yifan's secret promise or Master Wuyan's gift? Or is it just a simple chance, she is destined to rely on Hengtian's power to break Gongzilian's game?
The power of the Divine Monarch Hengtian to return to the heavens?
