Chapter 256: The Gate of Time
I don't know how many doors I walked through, Tao Xinlai faintly felt a little bit in his heart, or it was called a thought, or it was called an epiphany. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info she hadn't figured out how to express it in words, she looked back a little blankly, looking at the past where there was no way back - although she had walked through so many doors, all the way to the present, and walked here, but there was no trace behind her, and nothing existed.
The past is the past, the past will always disappear without a trace in the torrent of time, you think you remember it clearly, but in fact, those are no longer there, they become the past the moment time passes, and they will not always stay there waiting for you.
At this moment, she heard a voice from the void - it was not like a human voice.
"Child, what is your problem?"
Tao Xin came to hear the truest voice in his heart.
"Strength."
Immortal cultivators want supreme freedom and a life that never stops, but these are the ultimate goals, and the premise of all these goals is power.
With strength, you can survive; With power, there is room for further progress; With strength, we can explore the higher and farther heavens and earths that we once hoped for, and only then can we achieve freedom and immortality.
"What else?"
And also......
"Affection."
It is easy to have demons in the heart, and it is difficult to become a road without ruthlessness. Tao Xinlai has always felt that this is a strange and contradictory proposition. There are many cold-hearted and cold-hearted people in the world of cultivating immortals, and they mostly put themselves above their transcendent status, thinking that small feelings and small loves are all unworthy existences, which will affect their own cultivation and affect their Dao heart. But there are also people who are affectionate and righteous, who live a life of love and hate, splendid and colorful, they have their own double monks, some of them have no chance, some of them have attained positive results, you can't say that his affection affects his cultivation and Dao heart, because his achievements are likely to be much higher than those who are ruthless and break off love.
Tao Xinlai thought of Bai Zilian and Wen Renxi, thought of his master, thought of his senior brother Han Beiwang, and thought of the two senior brothers Xiao Su.
I don't know how long it took, but the voice asked, "If you had to choose between the two, which one would you choose?" ”
Tao Xin thought about it for a while, but didn't answer for a while.
The voice didn't rush her, but the situation around her began to change. far, near; Clear, fuzzy ...... Soon, two paths appeared in front of her eyes. Two very ordinary roads, and what is unusual is the meaning that the road represents.
On the road on the left, it was Tao Xinlai's master Han Fengyi who came slowly with a smile; On the road to the right, there are mountains in the clouds and mist, and there is no end in sight to the mountains, but occasionally you can see the flying immortals of Edgeworth passing in front of the mountains, and the posture is very chic and leisurely.
Tao Xin came to know that the one on the left represents love, and the one on the right represents the avenue.
Han Fengyi slowly stretched out her hand to her, with a happy expression. Tao Xinlai turned his gaze to look at the road that represented the way of heaven. If Master is well, she will have her own life and future, and she will also have her own life and pursuits, and she will not always follow Master. Thinking like this, she subconsciously wanted to approach the road on the right.
However, when she was about to set foot on that road, the empty road suddenly had a fishy wind, bloodstained, I don't know what kind of demon beast came out of the ground, opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Tao Xin, as if trying to devour her into the stomach. And behind the monster, all kinds of fierce monsters roared and screamed.
Tao Xin was startled at the beginning, but when he saw it pounce again, he sneered, and subconsciously used his spiritual strength to create a raging fire and "bang" and raise his hand to give it to the demon beasts on the opposite side, so that those demon beasts burned into ashes in the flames.
There are dangers of one kind or another, either from the same kind or from others, no matter what kind of dangers, if you can get through them, those are not worth mentioning in the past; And if you can't get through, all your previous efforts may be in vain.
Tao Xin raised his feet and prepared to go up. At this time, she heard Han Fengyi's exclamation again.
She was shocked, and when she looked back, another person appeared on the road, it was Senior Brother Han Beiwang. Han Beiwang's flesh and blood were blurred and embarrassed, he was half lying on the ground holding his abdomen, his expression was unbearable, and he was panting for breath in his mouth. And Han Fengyi was running towards Han Beiwang, but on the way over, she didn't know what attack she received, and her shoulders quickly turned bloody. Her injured shoulder tilted downward, and she stumbled a few times, then suffered another injury to her waist, and her body deviated again, and the person fell to her knees.
Tao Xinlai was taken aback, at this time, where did she care what the situation was on this road, she hurriedly walked towards Han Fengyi and Han Beiwang.
The voice rang out again.
"What about your avenue, what about your strength, don't you want it?"
Tao Xinlai did not pause, although she knew that if she chose the road where Han Fengyi and Han Beiwang were, she would probably miss the opportunity to climb the avenue here, but if Han Fengyi and Han Beiwang were dying, this was not a matter of choice at all, and there was no need to think about it at all - how could she watch them die while she stood by and did nothing?
"I want to, but these can be pursued, if people are gone, there is nothing." Tao Xinlai is very clear, some can be obtained after missing, and some can only become regrets if they are missed, or even become demons.
"The people you value will one day become your past, the tiny dust of time, even if you think about them now, but they can't escape their fate. So why bother with them? Now you can only choose one path, and if you choose that one, it will never be open to you again. ”
Tao Xinlai paused in front of the road for two seconds and said, "There may be a thousand reasons for me to stop, but no matter what the reason, I can't see them in such a situation. Because of this, all the previous reasons are not valid. ”
After finishing speaking, Tao Xinlai stepped on that road without hesitation, but when her feet stepped on that road, everything disappeared, and there was still a road in front of her. She subconsciously looked to the side again, and the road next to her had disappeared, and in front of her was the world that could not be more empty.
Tao Xinlai stood quietly for a while, and for some reason he felt a sense of loss.
In an instant, all the voids were receding, as if everything was moving away from her, and she was the only one standing still.
Soon, she saw a door, one taller than before, heavy, and distinctive.
The opening of this door is in the shape of an hourglass, and not only that, but there is also fine sand falling regularly on its door beam, gathering into a small sand dune on the corresponding ground. It is fair to say that the area of the sand dunes should be increasing in the face of falling sand, but the reality is that instead of increasing, it seems to be visually shrinking.
Tao Xinlai thought faintly in his heart that this was probably the real gate of time. So, what does it mean that she sees this door? Did she pass the test?
"On the way to pursue power, advance and retreat, you choose to advance; Between power and affection, you have chosen affection. If love is so important, you can write a love word and read it. After saying that, a one-man tall brush appeared in the door. The pen in the front of the brush is cone-shaped, uniform and smooth, the roots are tenacious, and the pen barrel is a green dripping green bamboo, which is really a good pen.
Tao Xin stepped forward to get the pen, and the pen seemed to have life, and it circled around her three times before it fell in front of her eyes.
Tao Xinlai hurriedly held the huge pen, but after the huge pen entered her hand, it began to slowly shrink, and finally shrunk to the size of a palm, which was no different from an ordinary brush.
Tao Xin just wanted to write a word, and even the pen was ready, is there still ink and paper?
As a result, there is no paper, ink...... I don't know if she has been shaking for a long time, and the tip of the pen has been stained with ink.
This...... Could it be because she thought about it for so long?
Without a word, Tao Xinlai began to write in front of him.
Writing this kind of thing is not difficult for her now, when she was in Miaozhen Tianling Peak, she was asked by Jingxuan Zhenjun to practice all kinds of words in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, although she didn't think it had any effect at the time, but the more she cultivated until now, the more she felt that those were not done in vain.
She waved her right arm and wrote the word "love" in front of her seriously.
Words are like people.
Tao Xinlai's words are of moderate size, the font is vertical, and the pen is balanced, the horizontal and vertical points are obliquely framed, fat and thin, at first glance, fair and neat, decent and cautious. Looking at it again, I feel a bit contradictory and elegant.
A voice came from the door: "Okay." As he spoke, the bamboo pen in Tao Xinlai's hand disappeared, and the word gradually faded away, until in the end, the fine sand completely fell, the sand on the ground calmed down, but the fine sand did not fall on the door.
Suddenly, there was the sound of whirring wind, the sound of gurgling water, the smell of grass, and a unique smell that belonged to the prison forest.
Tao Xin walked through the door with her feet raised, and as soon as she went out, the door disappeared, and the centaur over there was anxiously waiting for her, and only relaxed when he heard her footsteps.
"How long has it been?" Tao Xinlai felt as if his consciousness was being squeezed, and he was a little drowsy for a while.
"About six days have passed."
Tao Xin was taken aback, "So long?" "Can Yumo still hold on?
"But someone is looking for you?" Tao Xinlai hurriedly asked.
"Someone is looking for you, it seems to be one of your kind. However, because he didn't find you, he left. Counting the days, there should be two or three days. ”
In this way, Yumo came to find her.
Tao Xinlai frowned, Yumo couldn't leave her for a long time, the longest time they had tried not to give Yumo relief was five days, she didn't expect to be trapped here for so long, what happened to Yumo, if it was because of her, what happened to Yumo, then she would have to regret it.
She was thinking about it when a familiar voice said, "Tao Xin is here." "It's really a word, gnashing of teeth.
Tao Xin looked at the weakened Yumo who suddenly appeared, thinking that Yumo's strength had increased again, and thinking that Yumo was not omnipotent. (To be continued.) )
