Chapter 25: The Big Island
This is miserable, if this is really like the old thief said, it is a bitter cold land in the far north, and it can be separated from Middle-earth by thousands of mountains and rivers, even if you drive the clouds, you can't fly back if you are tired.
Du Heng stomped his feet and flew around to search. But the surroundings are white, except for the dead trees and strange stones, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is a reversal of the Qiankun Gate.
He returned to the frozen lake and stared at the fish basket at his feet.
The cold wind was biting, burrowing into Du Heng's bones, making him shiver. The snowflakes dancing wildly in the wind were like thousands of Xiaoice knives, cutting his face painfully.
Sweet jujube is like spring all year round, and it is the first time for Du Heng to experience such cold weather. Although he has the immortal law to protect his body, he still has goosebumps all over his body.
Heh, isn't it the Far North? It's a big deal that I drove all the way south to the clouds, and after flying for a year and a half, I don't believe that I can't fly back.
Du Heng was just about to get up, when he suddenly saw the fish basket at his feet. He carried the fish basket on his back and drove to Yunnan.
He stood on the top of the clouds and looked down at the ground, and found that in a short time the land disappeared, and in front of him was an endless ocean.
After walking for a few days, the scenery in front of him has not changed at all, except for water, it is still water, Du Heng is so hungry that his eyes are a little glazed.
You can't stand on the clouds and nibble on raw fish, can you? I don't know if it stinks for so many days.
Du Heng took the fish basket off his back and found that the fish were not only not smelly, but still alive, which couldn't help but surprise Du Heng. It is difficult for these fish to live with the 10,000-year-old glacial lake, and they are about to become refined, but it is a pity that they were caught by the old thief and ruined their cultivation.
He picked up a fish and put it to his mouth, and the smell of the fish made him gause.
Suddenly, a large island appeared on the edge of the sea.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Du Heng pressed the cloud head and landed on the island, only to see that the island was still a snowfield, with a few thin small trees swaying in the wind and overgrown with weeds.
When you are tired, take a rest first and eat before leaving.
Du Heng broke a handful of dry branches, made a fire, inserted a few fish, and roasted them on the fire. After a while, the fish wafted out with a burst of aroma.
A few fish went down, and Du Heng suddenly felt hot all over his body, as if there was a force about to break out of his body. He opened his mouth and let out a long howl, which turned into a wave of energy and slammed into the air, dispersing several white clouds in the air.
Du Heng was taken aback.
The thief didn't lie to me at this point, this fish is really a good thing to improve cultivation, but it's a pity that I didn't catch a few more.
Du Heng stood up and trampled on the fire. The burning wooden bars stepped into the ground, sizzling and emitting a plume of black smoke.
Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in the ground.
Just when Du Heng thought that it was the illusion that he had eaten too much, the entire island suddenly rose, the area of the island expanded rapidly, and new land continued to rise from the sea. And the color of the land was not earthy, but half-black and not blue.
What's the situation? Is the island alive?
Du Heng jumped into the air suddenly, he stood on the head of the cloud and looked down, only to see that the island was rising higher and higher, and after a while, it rose higher than the cloud. On the surface of the dark island, there is a lake-sized mirror, which is so black that it is reflective, and Du Heng's shadow is reflected in it, like a black fish in the lake.
He reached out and touched the mirror, only to feel that his hands were slippery and cold, and there was a slight soft touch.
Du Heng couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp.
This touches ...... How does it feel like ...... Eye? What the hell is this, this, and this?
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a sound similar to the chirping of a crane came, and the sound was long, like the sound of heaven.
There is a fish in the north of the underworld, its name is Kun, the Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Could it be that this is a kun?
Du Heng retracted his hand suddenly, gave a big salute to that eye, and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Kun!" I didn't know that you changed that island, and I didn't mean to set it on your head! That, do you eat apples? As he spoke, he took out an apple and handed it over.
The eyes are deep and waveless, and there seems to be everything hidden in the depths, as if thousands of years have passed in those eyes.
Du Heng raised his head and couldn't help but be attracted by the mysterious color.
He shook his head violently, slapped himself a few times, and said secretly, this Kun is really amazing, and he was almost taken away. But I don't seem to be very angry when I look at this kun, but its body is like a wall in front of me, and I can't even see the sides up and down, left and right, but how can I get there?
Du Heng was secretly worried, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in the giant eyes of the kun, and there was a faint curiosity.
There you have it! No matter how big the Kun is, it is also an animal, and although it can't understand me, it can translate the drum!
He hurriedly took out the drum from the gluttonous bag, held it in his hand and knocked it, meaning to say hello first.
"Wow!"
It was another sound similar to the chirping of a crane, the sound was not tactful, but it was like a melody hidden in it, and the tone was soft and eloquent.
Du Heng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It's embarrassing that Kui Gu can convey my meaning to Kun, but he can't convey Kun's meaning to me.
He shook his head, picked up the drum and continued to beat, meaning if he could make way for me.
"Wow!"
This time, the voice was slightly dissatisfied, but it didn't seem to be angry, but it seemed to be coquettish and stupid, and it was like a little temper.
Worst! I'm afraid that this Kun hasn't dealt with anyone else for thousands of years, and I may be the first. I'm afraid it's too lonely, and I finally caught someone who can understand the words, and wants me to play with it, right?
Du Heng's eyes rolled, he had a plan, and picked up the drum and beat it.
"Why don't we play hide and seek? You hide first, I'll come to you! ”
"Wow!"
With a cheerful sound, Kun's mountain-like body gradually fell, and after a while, it sank silently into the sea, without even a trace of waves.
Seeing that Kun gave way, Du Heng quickly put away his drum and hurried south. He looked back as he rode the clouds, and found that the sea behind him was calm and unwavering.
I hope it will wait there for me to find it.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and flew south with all his strength, and walked for about two hours, only to see that there was still an endless sea under the clouds, and occasionally a few scattered islands dotted on it.
Suddenly, Du Heng felt a fluctuation from the clouds under his feet. Then, a huge piece of land rose from the surface of the sea and rushed to the soles of Du Heng's feet.
Du Heng didn't stand firmly, and he stumbled on the land.
"Wow!"
There was obvious anger in the voice, as if he was blaming Du Heng for not going to look for it.
Du Heng rolled over, lay on Kun's back, and sighed. He took out the drum and said to Kun, "Mr. Kun, I still have very important things to go back to Middle-earth, and I really can't play here with you." ”
"Huh?"
Kun seemed to be asking something.
Du Heng sat up suddenly, and said in his heart, this kun is so big and swims so fast, why don't you let it send me back to Middle-earth!
He hurriedly conveyed his meaning with a drum, but Kun didn't move for a long time, as if he was brewing some emotion.
It's broken, shouldn't I have to inch in, it's really angry, right?
Du Heng was just about to beat the drum to apologize to Kun, when he suddenly felt a fluctuation under him, like an earthquake, which made Du Heng sit unstable and fall to the ground.
Then, the originally cold and smooth skin on the back of the kun actually grew feathers in thin ropes. The feathers were huge, and each one was longer than himself.
Turned into a bird, its name is Peng, soaring up to 90,000 miles!
With a bang, Peng's huge back leaped upwards and rushed straight towards the dome. Peng's back is vast and boundless, and the wings are like clouds hanging from the sky, and you can't see the end at a glance.
Du Heng could only hear the whirring wind in his ears, and the clouds under him retreated at a gallop, and the air around him gradually thinned, and he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
Sure enough, Kunpeng is a first-class divine beast, and those poor and strange people in Middle-earth, Kui Niu, etc., are simply ants in front of Kunpeng in front of elephants. I am really fortunate to be able to get acquainted with Kunpeng in my third life. It's just a pity that it's so big that I can't take it with me. It has been alone in the North for tens of millions of years, and it is also hard.
He sighed and patted Dapeng on the back like a pat on the shoulder of an old friend he hadn't seen in years.
"Wow!"
Dapeng seemed to respond to his beat, his tone comforting, but also slightly sad.
Du Heng's heart moved. Although he had only been in contact for a short time, he felt that he seemed to have a heart-to-heart with Kunpeng, and the two could no longer understand each other's thoughts without having to go through the drum.
Du Heng couldn't help laughing.
"Kunpeng, Kunpeng, I, Du Heng, have lived for eight hundred years, although I don't live as long as you, but compared to mortals, it can be regarded as a vicissitudes of life." Du Heng touched Dapeng's smooth and firm feathers, "If I don't have that trouble, what's the matter if I stay in the North Underworld with you for the rest of my life?" It's a pity that I still have a family business that has not been completed, the revenge of hurting relatives has not been avenged, and the beloved has not married, otherwise, I would like to accompany you to see countless spring and autumn changes, eternal millennia. ”
"Wow!" There was a lightness in his voice, and he didn't seem to think it was difficult.
Du Heng was about to ask, when he suddenly felt Peng's back on one side, and his body slid down rapidly in one direction. He steadied himself and leaped down, landing his feet firmly on the ground.
The surrounding geese flocked, the clouds flew, and they returned to Yanmen Mountain after speaking!
Du Heng looked up and saw that Dapeng's body was getting smaller and smaller, and finally became as big as an ordinary eagle falcon. The eagle flapped its wings and circled, flipped a few somersaults in the air, and then flew down and landed on Du Heng's shoulder.
"I didn't expect you to have the ability to change like this!" Du Heng laughed, "Okay! In the future, you will be with me, as long as my Du family still has the last trace of blood left in this world, I will definitely accompany you to the end and never give up! ”
"Wow!"
Du Heng reached out and touched the eagle's back, and the eagle turned its head and winked at Du Heng.
He looked up at the geese in the sky and sighed.
The thief didn't know where he had fled, and he suffered two losses, so it was really not easy to find him at this time.
Du Heng walked aimlessly through the mountains, thinking about Du Ruo in his heart, extremely anxious, only feeling that there was a fire of ignorance in his chest, but there was nowhere to vent.
He just walked with his head down, and he didn't pay attention to the fact that he had already reached a town. Pedestrians saw an eagle parked on Du Heng's shoulder, and they couldn't help but look sideways.
Suddenly, a burst of aroma of wine and meat wafted into Du Heng's nose.
Du Heng looked up and found that the smell was wafting from a restaurant next to him. The restaurant is three storeys high, the decoration is quite elegant, and there is a faint sound of singing songs.
Let's eat something first, if you don't eat, you won't have the strength to find it.
Du Heng went upstairs and sat on a private seat on the street.
The second child in the store was not frightened by the eagle on Du Heng's shoulder, but found it very interesting, and when ordering, he also asked if he wanted to order two for this eagle.
In a few moments, the table was filled with food and drinks. Du Heng picked up the rice bowl and slashed it, letting the eagle stand on the table and eat it at will.
"If someone is in the mountains, he will be taken by Xue Lixi. is both embarrassed and smiling, Zi Muyu is good at smiling. ”
In the middle of the hall, in front of a screen painted with winter plums, a woman in green clothes held a pipa and sang a tune. The woman's eyes were full of autumn water, her eyebrows were like mountains, and her face was covered with a white veil.
Du Heng looked at the woman, and his heart moved.
Dressed in green clothes, singing lyrics in her mouth, she really looks like Mu Yu, but unfortunately, she lacks Mu Yu's cold charm between her eyebrows.
Du Heng was in a state of distraction, when he was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise. I saw a big man rushing to the woman who was singing, snatching the pipa in her hand and smashing it.
"What are you babbling about, you stinky? Toothache, right? Today, Lao Tzu will help you repair it! ”
The big man slapped the woman's delicate face, causing the woman to fall to the ground. The veil on the woman's face fell, and her face was red and swollen.
Du Heng was shocked, that woman was none other than Meng Qiongpei, the senior sister who bullied him on Liubo Mountain in the past!
