Now for Wu Guang, this situation is definitely in danger. However, the dangerous scenes in Wu Guang's novels are a hundred times more dangerous than this situation, and he will not be overwhelmed like ordinary people. However, the situation is not optimistic, there is no spiritual blessing in the place where he is, and he is separated from those companions who can protect him. In this way, if something happens, the consequences can be unimaginable.

There is no end to the world, and everything seems to be stretching forward. There are no twists or forks in the road, and the ground ahead is completely flat as always. Sometimes he looked at the sky, trying to confirm the change of his position by looking up at the change of angle, but he kept walking and walking, and kept walking downward, and even he didn't know how long he had walked, and he didn't want to keep going, but he didn't dare to stop, so he kept going.

Suddenly, he fell defenselessly into a lake! Wow! The lake was so cold that it shook his depressed mind. He didn't know if it was a pool of stagnant water or an underground lake, and he kept sinking and sinking when he fell into the water...... There was no sound except for the water flowing in my ears.

He shouldn't have walked without caring about his feet, he couldn't swim, and when the lake water penetrated his brain, he had the viscous creatures in the water, and their protruding blind eyes exploring the water. Strangely, after falling into the water, he did not feel tightness of breath, or any life-threatening situation, this was the first time that Wu Guang did not feel the tension of drowning, but felt that he was a free little fish that could breathe freely in the water.

After sinking indefinitely, Wu Guang came to a river beach at the bottom of the lake, and the river beach lived by what seemed to be the master of this world. From the outside, Wu Guang didn't know where he was from, nor did he know who he really was. When I got closer, he was a meditating old man, with white hair floating in the lake, and his hands and wrists were firmly locked to the bottom of the lake with huge shackles. As elusive as darkness is, the thin face boasts pale eyes.

This place is indeed a lake, vast, deep, and cold to the bone. When Wu Guang approached, the old man opened his eyes like oil lamps, and then quickly stood up like lightning. In this dark lake, there seems to be an evil force hidden, and this old man is suppressing this evil existence.

In fact, when Wu Guang fell from the lake, the old man had already noticed his presence, and his calm face hid an irrepressible joy.

When Wu Guang was desperate and at a loss, the old man began to whisper:

"Good luck, kid, why are you here?" the old man didn't open his mouth, but his voice echoed in Wu Guang's mind. When the people of Shuguo heard this voice, they were almost frightened, and at some point, the old man who was more than ten meters away from him walked in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Who are you?" Wu Guang took a step back and prepared for the fight.

"Who am I? Who am I?" the old man whispered, as if talking to himself, and his gray hair was like autumn leaves, lonely and lifeless.

"I'm Wu Guang, a native of Shuguo, and I got separated from my friends from the adventure team. I was still sleeping, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I came here, and I didn't know where I was, and as long as I could get out of here, I didn't want to know where it was. ”

"What do you have on your hand? a ring?"

Wu Guang subconsciously touched his bag, and was surprised to find that the ring he touched at the beginning happened to fall on him.

"Hell's blood, hell's blood—it's hell's blood!"

"Hell blood?" Wu Guang took out the blood-red ring and looked at it carefully for a while, then said puzzled.

"I didn't expect it to choose you. ”

"Choose me?"

"You're in luck," the old man sighed, and sat down cross-legged, "you must have something to ask me about the origin of this ring and the world you have entered. ”

"Yes, what if—"

"No, no," interrupted the old man, "perhaps you can sit here and talk to me, and perhaps I will tell you what I know." I've been at the bottom of this lake for I don't know how long, I don't care if I'm hungry or not, the only thing I'm interested in is guessing alone-"

"Okay. Wu Guang hurriedly agreed to the old man's suggestion, so that he could exchange time to get to know this guy.

"You ask first. The old man said that because he hadn't had two people guessing a puzzle for a long time, he couldn't think of any puzzles for a while.

Wu Guang said casually:

"Long ears, short tail. Only eat vegetables, not meals. ”

"Easy!" said the old man laughed, "it's a rabbit." ”

"Do you think it's easy? Now it's your turn, and I'll see how difficult your riddle is. Wu Guang was a little unconvinced, before he took the risk, in order to write a good article, he also specially learned to guess the riddle, and was evaluated by an old man, and he was still very unconvinced.

"Good," said the old man, "listen well: little girl, take the shade of the night." With lanterns, shiny and shiny. ”

"Simple, simple, it's a firefly. Wu Guang said tooth for tooth.

"Thirty unicorns stood on the hill and stomped and jumped hard. "The old man has another mystery.

"Teeth. ”

"The body is long and long, the flowers are yellow and yellow, the face is like the sun, and the flowers and seeds are fragrant and fragrant. ”

"Sunflowers!"

"One finger to the sky, the other to the ground. ”

"Stand up to the sky. ”

"You cry without a mouth, you can fly without wings, you can be everywhere without shape. The old man asked again.

"Give me a moment. Wu Guang had countless images in his mind. Luckily, this is a scene he often uses in his novels, and it was only after he regained his composure and came up with the answer: "The wind, it must be the wind." ”

The old man smiled slightly, he had been at the bottom of the lake for an unknown amount of time, and he couldn't even remember what the wind looked like. I don't know when he woke up the memory of a long, long time ago, when he was still fighting with the man with the holy sword, watching the fire burn the whole world. Fragmentary memories, fragments of dreams, these made him feel very tired, lonely life, isolated soul, he saw his life clearly in the dark lake, that unfathomable loneliness will accompany his soul until the end of the world.

"You can't see it, you can't touch it. After the stars, under the hills. It comes first, it can fill the void, it will end life, it will stifle laughter. The old man muttered.

"It's darkness. Wu Guang replied that he knew the answer from the beginning.

"It will devour everything, insects, fish, birds, beasts, flowers and trees. It turns rocks into fly ash, seas into mulberry fields, and mountains into plains. ”

In the dark, Wu Guang pondered the puzzle that the old man said, no matter how mysterious the old man in front of him was, he was always human. Even with the ability to reach the sky, loneliness cannot be overcome, just as flowers cannot grow in the dark. His heart began to pity the old man, and he had a hunch that the answer was very close to what he had thought. The kind of thing that can be seen and touched, but which actually exists, something abstract that even the most gifted painter cannot express.

"Time!time!it's time!" It was pure luck on his part, and it just so happened that this was the answer the old man wanted.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, very good, no wonder the blood of hell chooses you." ”

"Senior, are you happy?"

"It's never been so much fun. The old man said.

"Can that tell me a story about the ring and the world?"

"I don't think you want to know, and I've changed my mind," said the old man with a smile, "and I'll send you back to the world you came from, child, and you just need to open your eyes and see your companions." ”

Wu Guang felt a sense of loss, he even forgot to blink his eyes, the blood-red ring in his bag suddenly flashed with a burst of light, and after staying in the dark for so long, the faint light made his eyes feel extremely uncomfortable.

The whole world fell apart like a mirror shattering before Wu Guang's eyes. The sky collapsed first, then the lake began to boil, and the scene in front of me cracked, and a spirit array shimmered with golden light enveloped itself. This is a more subtle existence than the spirit array released by Genesis and Autumn Wind, with gorgeous spiritual runes and delicate engravings, as if they came from ancient times.

The spirit array swirled, and under the light, a smile appeared on the old man's old face: "Child, from today onwards, you are the inheritor of the blood of hell, and you will gain great power from it. Whether or not you can use this world-destroying power is up to you. One last word of advice to you, don't let anyone else know that you got it, or you will become the enemy of the whole world. ”

"Why, why is it me?" Wu Guang was speechless, looking at the old man who was slowly dissipating in front of him, and hurriedly asked.

"Actually, I don't know," the old man smiled helplessly, "but I'm tired and want to sleep, and then wake up and see that man, and go with him to a distant ......"

He ...... Who is it?"

"He?" said the old man, "I don't know, but I remember that there was such a figure, standing on the edge of the sea, a dazzling ball of fire slowly sinking, walking on the soft sand, finding a big rock to sit down, and reveling in the beautiful sunset." ”

Then the surroundings began to become quiet, the lake disappeared, and the last bit of azure was gone. Only the old man and Wu Guang were left in this empty world. The old man's body was half gone, his eyes were closed, and the words were still in his mouth: "Gradually, gradually, the night fell, the intoxicating dusk, the enchanting sea level, and the shy little girl who was clamoring to play hide and seek with me." Her eyes were beautiful, like a clear lake, blue, bluer than a cloudless sky......"

"Senior, senior?" Wu Guang asked.

Unfortunately, the old man's empty eyes had no soul color, and his ears could not hear any sound, and a last tear fell from the corners of his eyes all over the place, crystal clear.

"I'm sorry, everyone, just left, nothing can change. ”

He smiled reluctantly. Then he choked up and asked:

"Kid, are you still there?"

"Senpai, I'm here. ”

It's a pity that the old man can't hear anymore, and only the head is left in his whole body.

"If so, please forgive me for being so willful in putting everything in your hands, but I think you'll be able to accomplish what I haven't done - make good use of this power and do something meaningful, okay?"

"Okay, okay. Wu Guang said.

"From today onwards, you will be very tired, and everything will have to be kept in your heart. If you don't know how to do it, trust your instincts, and all the wonders come after trying. ”

The old man smiled with satisfaction.

In his final moments, he left his last words and drifted in this empty lost world.

"Waiting for that inevitable moment, the end of the path of radiance is the grave. ”

Then, the last of the old man's will turned into starlight and disappeared into the darkness, as if he had never come.
