Chapter 55: One Step Away

It was a quiet day.

Thousands of households in Jiankang City are repeating their ordinary life day after day, except for some unpredictable red and white ceremonies, there is nothing that can break the daily tranquility.

Maybe life is like this, looking at the autumn clouds, the blue trees in the sky, and listening to the bell by the water, it is also over this life. After all, fifty years in the world, like flowers, at first glance, where can ordinary people disturb and make waves.

There are very few people who can really stand above fate, only one or two for thousands of years. But that's an unattainable height, where it's as simple as in ordinary novels, you can live for thousands of years. In fact, even if this is the case, isn't it boring when the millennium has fallen?

Xie Xiaoman has never thought about immortality since he started practicing.

She is not greedy, and she is not so attached to the world. In her opinion, it is natural to be born less than 100 years old, and it is precisely because of being born to death that there will be some obsession with the word "life".

These words may sound too pretentious, or even a little inexplicable, but Xie Xiaoman really thinks so.

Just like vampires, in Xie Xiaoman's opinion, they should be classified as "pitiful". Eternal life? Love for eternity? That's all nonsense and heresy that can't be talked about anymore!

Are you kidding? Seven years will still be itchy, if it is not for the fact that there are still decades to go, who will stick to what love?

There is only one person by his side day after day, and for such a time. It will continue for thousands of years, ten thousand years. Just thinking about it like this, I already feel bored.

Again, such a boredom. It's not just about love.

If a person really lives with the universe and hundreds of millions of years later, he will still be what he is now. So what does he think when he wakes up every morning?

Is it what to do today? Reading? Game? Travel? No, anyway, in tens of millions of years, you can still do these things, so why do it?

It's really that time. I'm afraid that even suicide will make people feel that there is no stimulation at all.

Everyone has experienced this kind of thing, looking forward to the winter and summer vacations when they go to school, and after the winter and summer vacations come. The curtain of boredom opens, it is fresh at first, but in the end, it becomes extremely boring.

Movies can't be watched. The game game can't be played. The whole thing is in a state of impetuousness, and the reason for this is just because it's too boring.

And this state will disappear immediately as the school year is approaching, and everyone will start to focus on having fun again.

In a way, death is the equivalent of "starting school". If there is no "start of school" waiting in front of us, even the "holidays" seem meaningless.

In this way, immortality is not happiness. It's a burden.

Without death, there is no desire for life, in Xie Xiaoman's opinion. That's the way it is.

And now, it is precisely because she has been enveloped in the haze of death that life has become a ray of sunshine in the dark clouds, even a little bit is enough to make her smile.

Xie Xiaoman looked at the "baby bear" in front of him, listening to the flute sound in his ears, his heart seemed to be illusory, but he noticed that something was not quite right.

The flute statement is very real, but it seems to pass through layers of glass before it finally reaches his ears.

This unreal feeling mixed with reality made her a little confused.

If the sound of the flute is real, what is it that isolates it? Is everything in front of you real?

A doubt emerged from his mind, and at the same time, a spiritual consciousness also unfolded rapidly with the thought.

The spiritual consciousness stretched in all directions, wanting to break through the layers of barriers, take a good look at the origin of the flute, and also see where this inexplicable "glass layer" came from.

Of course, these are just things between lightning and flint, Xie Xiaoman still looked at the bear demon baby in front of him, there was still some pity in his eyes, and the hand stretched out to the bear demon baby was getting closer and closer to it.

Xie Xiaoman looked at it and felt it.

At a certain moment, Xie Xiaoman heard a heartbeat of his own, but even this heartbeat became like a world away, and everything revealed extremely unreal.

With a shrunk of his eyes, Xie Xiaoman's mind was full of alarm bells, and his heart tightened.

The spiritual sense poked out the layers of "glass" and suddenly heard the sound of the flute, like thunder.

Everything in front of me suddenly cracked in the clear sound of the flute, and thousands of fragments were like glass paintings, reflecting the bright and dazzling light of the sun, and they spun and fell one after another.

And behind this layer of glass, the body of a headless beast was gradually revealed.

This is indeed a monster beast very similar to a bear, but it has no neck, no head, only a strong body and limbs, and the shape is like a brown bear.

On its back protruded a pair of wings, blood-red, ununfolded, but with the length of a human armspan.

It had no head, but at this time it "looked" at Xie Xiaoman and let out a low moan like a song.

At the same time, his wings opened rapidly, like sharp blades, and slashed towards Xie Xiaoman's body.

Xie Xiaoman was only one step away from it.

One step away, even his arms still maintained the posture of touching the bear demon baby.

If the demon beast had a head and a mouth, Xie Xiaoman's right arm would have been bitten off by it at this time.

If it weren't for Fang Cai's flute sound that made Xie Xiaoman have some doubts in his heart, she would have taken half a step forward, and at this time, her throat would have been directly cut by the wings of the demon beast.

But that's if, Xie Xiaoman is undoubtedly lucky, this luck comes from the young man's flute, and even more from the conversation she had with the young man.

Although the conversation seemed a little simple and crude, even with a bit of disdain and anger, it was clear that it still had a certain meaning.

This kind of thing is life, you never know if you are on the right path, instead of constantly calculating, it is better to simply do it, anyway, except for the gods, no one knows whether the road ahead is bumpy or smooth, no one knows whether a sentence is good or bad.

If you don't know, you don't know. In a way, this is the fascinating thing about life.

Xie Xiaoman does feel that life is very charming. As the demon beast's wings waved, she saw that the edges of the wings were as sharp as a hundred and ten blades, and her pupils shrank sharply.

Life, life, is actually a very interesting thing, and on the one hand, it can all be expressed in the pupils.

The dilated pupils are seen sexually, and the dilated pupils are seen by life. Sure enough, from a genetic point of view, these two things are really essentially equal in weight, and there is nothing to talk about.

Xie Xiaoman's pupils shrank sharply, so she swept backwards. Since it happened so suddenly, she didn't have time to cast the Wind Charm Talisman, so she could only rely on the speed bonus she had made for her body with the Divine Talisman before, and move backwards quickly.

But the demon beast had already prepared, and fought with a heart, and when Xie Xiaoman just moved backwards, the flaming wings of the demon beast had already flown in front of Xie Xiaoman's eyes.

Xie Xiaoman couldn't do it for a while, so he could only block it with his right hand that was originally outstretched.

A clear sensation passed over the arm, as if it had been slid by something burning, and it was not too strong at first. So there was no sluggishness in her steps, and she flew backwards.

Her mind is very clear, and she wants to lure the monster in front of her to the woods, where there is a danger she has laid as a hunter!

Xie Xiaoman flew backwards, the demon beast missed a blow, roared angrily, and also spread his four legs and galloped.

Xie Xiaoman didn't know what the other party was, but at this time he already understood that the "bear demon baby" was just an illusion created by this demon beast. If it weren't for the sound of the flute to remind himself, he would have been in the womb of the demon beast by now.

Although I felt scared, the feeling of excitement became clearer.

At this time, even Xie Xiaoman couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being in bad spirits. She didn't know where this feeling of excitement came from, but it did exist in her body, and it had been clinging to her blood since she was in the valley, and every time she was in danger and her blood was bursting, this feeling of excitement became clearer and clearer.

The sound of the flute still came from a distant place, although it seemed intermittent because of the sound of the wind, but it was enough for Xie Xiaoman to keep his mind and distinguish between illusion and reality.

At this time, the flute sound is like a standard key for tuning, as long as you have it, you are no longer afraid of going out of tune.

Xie Xiaoman finally had a moment to breathe, and hurriedly cast a wind charm to help him run forward.

Seeing that the woods were in front of him, and the raw wood talisman under his steps was also there, the pain in his right arm became clear at this time.

It was a kind of burning pain, as if someone had slashed it and then roasted it in a raging fire. This feeling gave Xie Xiaoman the illusion that he was a ham.

The pain became more and more intense, but Xie Xiaoman didn't have time to distract himself, but he just moved forward.

She could feel the pursuit behind her, the speed of the other party was too fast, and she would be caught up if she was not careful. Even at this speed, her legs could feel the obvious heat, and this heat was emanating from the demon beast.

Finally approaching the ambush of the raw wood talisman, Xie Xiaoman gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his right arm, and the aura converged on the tip of his index finger, forcing out one. The whole person leaned forward, and the aura went straight towards the location of the raw wood talisman.

Behind him, the raw wood talisman was stimulated by the aura, and dozens of vines grew rapidly, taking the lead in entwining the four legs of the demon beast. After grasping the prey, the vine grew more and more as if it were like it, stretching up from all fours, quickly bypassing its torso, one after another, like wrapping around pork, trapping the monster.

As for Xie Xiaoman, she twisted her body after rushing through the place where the raw wood talisman was, and her back hit a tree in a slightly embarrassed way, stopping her body and gasping violently.

Xie Xiaoman raised his head and looked at the demon beast in front of him, his eyes flashing with a heat like fire. (To be continued......)
