Chapter Twenty-Three: A Hazy Dream
In this way, Zhang Ling met another animal friend in a desperate place, and he became more and more curious, why did he have such a relationship with animals?
After a few days, Zhang Ling and the golden haired ape lived in this mysterious cave, getting along well, although they were in a fairyland, but after all, they couldn't bear the loneliness, and felt that this kind of life was still too boring.
On this day, Zhang Ling wanted to get out of this cave, although this is a great place to stay at home, he does not belong here. He has his own mother and bigger goals, and more importantly, he has to go out to find Xiaoxue's whereabouts, which is imminent.
After saying a brief goodbye to the ape, Zhang Ling walked down the mountain.
The cave where Zhang Ling is located is on a small mountain, although this hill is not high, the terrain is extremely high, there are countless beautiful scenery on the mountain, there are strange flowers and plants, there are waterfalls and clear springs, and there are some strange small animals. However, Zhang Ling was not in the mood to enjoy these beautiful scenery at all, he just kept walking down the mountain, but what was strange was that the mountain seemed to be shrouded in a strange smoke, and he couldn't see what the world beyond the mountain was like.
In this way, Zhang Ling walked for a day and a night, and he didn't even get out of this so-called hill, Zhang Ling gradually deflated, he was getting more and more angry, why didn't God let him die in the first place, let him run to these inexplicable places?
When night fell, the moonlight was hazy, Zhang Ling was lying under a big tree, he really couldn't walk, he was so tired that he closed his eyes, recalling the original scenes of the past. The separation from Hailing, the encounter with Xiaoxue, and then the uncertainty of Xiaoxue's life and death, Zhang Ling felt the impermanence of the world, and he suddenly had an idea, that is, to penetrate the warmth and coldness of the world, and not let joy be blessed in his body, so that there would be no pain and he could be at ease.
But when he thought about it, he still felt that this kind of thinking was ridiculous, now that he had cultivated to nothing, what could he do to get the Tao and get away!
The night gradually deepened, Zhang Ling's sleepy eyelids finally couldn't support it, turned around and fell asleep peacefully, and later, he had a dream...
Early the next morning, when Zhang Ling opened his eyes, he found that the strange smoke had not dissipated, but there was no way, he had to get out of this mountain, he couldn't be trapped here for the rest of his life, after thinking about it, Zhang Ling still took his firm but heavy steps.
After half a day of hurrying, Zhang Ling was thirsty, but the water source he brought had been drunk, so he helplessly looked for water everywhere, but how did he know that this mountain looked like flowers and plants were in full bloom, and the trees were luxuriant, and he didn't find a water source after looking for a long time, Zhang Ling felt more and more strange about this place.
But although he was puzzled, but after all, he was thirsty, there was no way, he had to look around, Zhang Ling observed everywhere, and originally looked for where the trees were lush, but after thinking about it, this kind of ghost place can't think with common sense, so he looked around and looked for a place where trees and flowers were scarce.
Sure enough, Zhang Ling's idea was right, this ghost place really can't think with common sense, he finally found a water source in a sparsely wooded forest, it was a spring, but when he was about to drink, he was stunned, this spring, that tree is exactly the same as the other place, Reverse Scale Mountain, yes, it is Reverse Scale Mountain!
What's going on, Zhang Ling felt very weird, and then looked at the surrounding environment, it was exactly the same as the Reverse Scale Mountain, Zhang Ling was even more surprised, did I return to the Reverse Scale Mountain?
He looked at the spring again, there was not a single branch or leaf in it, and it was no different from the Yulu Ice Spring in the Reverse Scale Mountain.
Could it be that this was God's arrangement? Although Zhang Ling felt strange, he still picked up a sip of spring water and drank it, because he vaguely felt that if he drank this spring water, he might be able to return to the original world.
So he resolutely swallowed the spring water down his throat, but after drinking it, Zhang Ling only felt that the world was spinning, his head was dizzy, and he struggled for a while before falling weakly.
"Ah, my head hurts, was I dreaming just now? But why is the dream so real? Hey, no matter what, let's get out of here first!" It turned out that everything just now was just Zhang Ling's Nan Ke dream.
After Zhang Ling got up, he was still thinking about why he had such a strange dream, and at this moment, like the last time, Zhang Ling was startled. The ape in the cave suddenly popped out.
