Chapter 56: A Different World
When he returned to the house, Chen Peng immediately locked the door, closed all the windows firmly, and scanned the house back and forth several times with his perceptual ability to make sure that there were no outsiders before returning to the bedroom and lying on the bed. ++++
His previous induction was generated by the fragment plane where Io was located.
After a few months of recovery, he felt that his source power had almost recovered to the level when he connected to the fragment plane, and he had been faintly sensing that the fragment plane was also trying to restore his connection with him in the past few days, and it was estimated that he would be able to connect again in the next few days, so when he sensed something in the meeting, he didn't show anything unusual, but arranged the work at hand before returning to the safest place at present, and then began to connect with Io.
He had long been accustomed to running his soul to wander around the Mother River of Life every night when he slept, so when he closed his eyes and began to concentrate, it was only two or three minutes, and his consciousness had already appeared in the endless dark void.
This time, he was already about to connect to the fragment plane, so Chen Peng's consciousness did not drift at will with the attraction from the mother river, but concentrated his mind as he did when he first connected to the fragment plane, and a little golden light suddenly floated out of his soul and flowed on the surface of his soul.
Suddenly, he "opened his eyes" and saw the line of faith that shimmered with golden points of light emerging from the void, gradually condensing from the illusory into an entity, and a strong attraction spread out from the line of faith, pulling Chen Peng's soul to subconsciously approach there.
Soon, he was connected to the thread of faith, and then countless messages rushed into his consciousness like a rolling torrent......
……
Above the wasteland, the night is covered, and the stars are lamps.
A cold wind swept through the three bonfires arranged in a zigzag pattern on the earth, bringing the same sound synthesized by the words of different people into the distance, never dissipating for a long time.
At the center of the three campfires, a half-human-tall wooden statue stood silently, the light of the fire reflecting on its body, its already faintly metallic body glowing red, and flickering as the wind of the wilderness passed.
"The eye of great wisdom, you are the embodiment of wisdom, the book that records a qiē knowledge, the master who grasps the truth of the world, you are the eye that perceives a qiē mysteries, and you are the inheritance of civilization......"
"O great and merciful Lord, O all-knowing and all-powerful Father, your most devout believers pray to you again, and I thank you for saving my soul from destruction; I thank you for keeping my strength and energy, keeping the joy and joy of my life, keeping my hands, my feet, my eyes and ears to do what you have commanded; I thank you for giving me the knowledge to survive so that I can get food with my hands and help others with my hands......"
"I bow down to you with the most reverent heart, not for worldly power and wealth, but for the desire of my heart for knowledge and truth......
……
Around the wooden statue, with it as the center, there is a circle of people, all kneeling on the ground, closing their eyes and praying reverently.
I saw that with the sound of prayer, more or less brilliance appeared on everyone's body, the small ones were almost faintly invisible, and the large ones were only the size of a grain of rice, and all the halos seemed to be pulled by invisible things, slowly converging on the body of the wooden statue and merging into it, and finally turning into a layer of luster circulating on its surface.
One of these praying was directly in front of the statue, closer to the statue than any of them, and he was clearly the tallest of the group.
When he had finished his last prayer and was silent for a few moments, he stood up and the surrounding fire illuminated his figure.
It was a young man who had fully grown up, looking to be about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and his face was full of traces left by wind and frost, but the strange thing was that his eyes, clear and clear, black and white, were like babies who had just been able to open their eyes to observe the world, full of innocent curiosity, and there was a strange warmth contained in it, which made people feel good at a glance.
He was very tall, his shoulders were broad, and he looked like a big skeleton, but this only set off the thinness of his body, and a brown coarse linen robe with many holes seemed to be draped over a skeleton, and with the sound of the wind that was blowing, as if it was about to blow him away with the robe, but he stood there quietly and steadily like a pine, not at all afraid of the cold wind that made ordinary people shiver through the holes in the robe, and let the cold wind blow his gray-brown rough skin.
As he got up, the remaining dozen or so people also ended their prayers and stood up one by one in order from near to far from the statue.
It can be seen that most of the people here are women, children and elderly people in rags, who have leaned over the campfire and sat down after praying, resting and warming, they snuggled together and shared the little rough food, and exchanged words in a low voice from time to time, and the atmosphere was very friendly and harmonious.
While everyone else was resting around the campfire, three men stayed behind and came to the leader's side. These three people are also men, two young men and a big man in the prime of life, the muscles of the whole body hold up the thin clothes on their bodies high, they all look very strong, it seems that any one of them can crush the thin collar, but their attitude towards the thin young man is extremely respectful, without the slightest slack and perfunctory.
"Mentor, the news brought by Barbarom is not very good, this year's cold wind is almost a month away, the grass in the wasteland is more withered than before, and the beast tide is coming soon." The strong, middle-aged man said in a deep voice, and saw that his long golden-red hair like a lion's mane and his beard of the same color were mixed together, and he looked so chaotic that his face was mostly obscured, and his arms hanging down above his knees made him look more like a beast than a man.
"Wukong, I know that the wind has brought restless news, the scale of this beast tide is even bigger than the last time, and we only have two weeks left." The thin collar raised to look at the night sky as pure as black satin, and said peacefully. There was a calming power in his words, and the big man, who was originally a little anxious, immediately calmed down after hearing his words.
The leader looked at the other two strong youths and continued: "Wuneng, you asked Ancelotti to find a way to the east that would guarantee a certain amount of food, and the wind told me that we must migrate there to avoid this beast tide. ”
"Okay, Mentor." The short brown young man of the two, half a head shorter than his companion but a little wider laterally, sniffed and nodded in response, and then his Adam's apple rolled up into a low whine.
Soon, the same whine was heard not far away, and a large creature like a mountain of meat rushed into the range of the firelight, and it was a wild boar covered in amber mane. I saw that its height was higher than the waist height of an adult male, its fangs stretched out nearly half a meter long, and its two small eyes flashed with scarlet light.
However, the people sitting around the campfire did not seem to care about the threat posed by the creature, but looked at it in friendly manner, and some people greeted it, and it was clear that they were no strangers to it.
The boar came straight to Wu Neng's side, Wu Neng hugged its head and whispered a few words, and then the wild boar snorted as if to express understanding, broke free of Wu Neng's embrace, and rushed into the darkness to the east without looking back, and quickly moved away with a slight vibration from the earth.
"Mentor, Ancelotti said it would find a way to ensure that it would not run out of food for at least three days." After the boar named Ancelotti disappears, Gono reports to the leader.
"Wujing, you ask Galio to inform the believers of the gods of Barony Bubarov, Viscount Heslan and Barony Avno, this beast tide is extremely powerful, these three territories are likely to not be able to survive, if they want, they can move with us, we will wait for them here for two days." The leader looked at the young man at the end and said his decision.
"As you wish, my mentor." Wujing stroked his chest and saluted, then raised his head and let out a sharp whistle, and then a black eagle that had been integrated with the night fell sharply and stopped on Wujing's shoulder. Just as Gono and Ancelotti had done before, Gojo and Gallio whispered a few words, and Gallio flapped his wings and flew back into the sky, dragging a long chirp through the sky.
"Alright, you guys should rest early, and then you need to keep vigil." Leader said.
Wu Neng and Wu Jing bowed and retreated, leaving Wukong still by his side, wanting to stop talking.
"Wukong, is there anything else you can do?"
"Teacher, I wonder if the Great Eye of Wisdom has sent down a will?" After squirming for a while, Goku still had the courage to speak his question.
In response to Wukong's questioning, Ling's face did not fluctuate, but he still replied calmly: "You have to know that this is a training for us......"
"But isn't the training enough? How much have we been through since I left Barony of Baggins with you ten years ago? How much suffering did you suffer? How much effort has been put in? How many poor people have been saved? Isn't that enough? ”
In the face of the excitement expressed by the person in front of him who can be his father, who has changed from calling himself Little Io to his current mentor or companion, Ling still did not have any emotional fluctuations, but replied softly: "When you still ask these questions, this is the best answer." ”
After being silent for a while, Wukong, with the sound of heavy breathing, silently saluted, and then slowly retreated.
After Goku left, the young man who used to be called Io, now named Pang Bian, looked at the statue silently.
Ten years, this is the time it has elapsed since he received a message from God and left Barony Baggins to begin his journey. In the past ten years, he and his three companions have traveled all over the world, seeing every disaster with their own eyes, persisting in a life of asceticism, helping the poor people everywhere they can, spreading the teachings he followed, so his popularity has expanded rapidly among the people at the bottom, gaining a lot of supporters and followers, and he has become the most unpopular person in the eyes of the lords everywhere, so that he has not had the opportunity to set foot in any town or manor in the past five years.
He has never regretted this, he clearly feels that every time he takes a step with those ** feet, and every time he tries his best to help someone, the purer his heart, the firmer his will, and the clearer his goal.
He never doubted his faith, but he was worried about others, because people are fickle, and he had already understood this after so long of grinding, so he feared that the faith he had built up with great difficulty would eventually be destroyed, and the only hope he saw that could change the world would be dashed.
Now, even Goku, who had followed him from the beginning, had doubts, which made him know that there was not much time left for him.
"O All-Powerful Lord, turn your gaze again to your bewildered Lambs, and send down your will, that their doubts may be washed away, and that their faith may be purified......"
After a while, Pombe began to whisper a prayer.
Suddenly, he felt something in his heart, and suddenly looked up at the statue, only to see a golden flame burning on the surface of the statue......
