Chapter 1: God's Calling
My name is Love, and I am a boy who loves the wind and likes to fantasize in the wind. When the wind blows through the leaves of the aspen trees, it makes a rattling sound that sounds like the performance of an unknown musical instrument. Also, when you are sweating in the summer, you can raise your face to usher in a gust of breeze, which feels really refreshing. Actually, I'm also a little afraid of the wind, because for a while, it always makes people sneeze, and the runny nose is not a cold, and it is even a little annoying. But the wind can send the fragrance of flowers and birdsong, and it can also blow away fog and haze, which is always loved.
What is the cause of wind? I've learned in elementary school textbooks that it seems to be caused by the difference in atmospheric pressure. The air pressure is different from place to place, and the air flows from the place where the air pressure is high to the place where the air pressure is low, which is the wind. But I wondered, could there be another force that rules the wind?
I've heard that there are a lot of winds in this world, like typhoons, tornadoes, and so on. The destructiveness is great, and the places that pass through are often turned into ruins. I thought, is this God's punishment? Maybe the people in that place have done something to sin against God.
As a fifth-grade elementary school student, every day I carried a large and heavy school bag from home to school and back again. I like to watch the sunrise and sunset, especially the sunset, when the mood is relaxed, the dim sun with colorful glow, like colorful silk, is really beautiful.
Ever since I could read it, I've been hooked on Journey to the West. The demons and monsters in the book are all magical. The most incredible thing for me is the transportation of the gods - driving clouds. You can go wherever you want, it's extremely fast, and you don't need to get a passport to go abroad, which is so convenient.
I don't want to ride the clouds, I want to ride the wind, and once the wind blows and shakes thousands of miles, what will it feel like? I often think about it, I think about it.
Probably because of this, I have few friends. After class, I like to sit on the edge of the flower bed and think wildly. In fact, fantasy is my true friend, because it is the most compatible with my soul, does not annoy me, does not leave me.
So I had to endure the solitude of going into the classroom every day, so I longed to grow up, I longed to go to distant places, and of course not only because there were beautiful women there. Because there are so many more of my wishes that can be fulfilled.
I think too much during the day, and I start dreaming at night. This night, I really dreamed of a horrible scene - I was desperately gnawed by a green-eyed youkai with its big fangs, and I woke up in a cold sweat.
Suddenly, I saw a blue star that had slipped down from the dark night sky with a long tail. It passed through my window and came straight to me, flickering before my eyesβstrange, what sign was this?
I was puzzled by this, so I reached out to feel what it was.
At this moment, an old man with a white beard descended from the sky and startled me.
"Who are you, what are you going to do?" I asked, horrified. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, little friend, I'm not a bad person. The old man said as he stroked his long beard.
That's when I took a closer look at the person in front of me. I saw that his hair was as white as snow as his beard, and his hair and beard were very long, as if he had not had a haircut for a long time. Wearing a fat white robe, the clothes are fluttering, and it is very fairy-like.
"You're a lover, aren't you?" he didn't answer my question, but he asked me instead. "Strange how do you know?" I said, confused.
"Because I'm a god. The last two words of his speech were frustrated. "What? it can't be, don't fool me!" I yelled.
"To be precise, I am an emissary, that is, a messenger of God, and I have come to tell you one thing. "What's the matter?" I asked, staring into his eyes.
He suddenly became serious and mysterious: "You are the future wind god!" I was stupid all of a sudden, what am I a god? or the wind god?
The old man was stunned when he saw me, so he pointed to the blue star behind him and said to me, "It's proof." This is no ordinary star, it's called Attraction. There are a thousand of them in the whole day, and every 100,000 years, when the old god is gone, it will go to find a new master. β
"How can immortals die?" is not what I read in books.
"Of course, because immortals are also born, but they become gods after all kinds of cultivation, so they can't be born and destroyed. β
"Then how could it choose me? What kind of god am I?" I had in my mind the image of the glass ball.
"Well," he rolled back his beard and looked at me, "I just know that Attraction can't go wrong, and it must have chosen you for its reasons." β
"Can I not go? What is the god of wind?" I'm going to cry, what's the matter.
"No!" he said categorically, "now the divine realm needs you more than the human world, and this is your responsibility and obligation. β
I don't understand and don't want to understand, I just can't figure out why I have to go.
"Besides, if you become the god of wind, you will be in charge of the power of the wind, and you will have infinite mana, isn't that what you want?" said Whitebeard.
"What should I do in this world? My parents will die of grief without me. β
"I will erase all their memories of you, all the memories of those who have seen you and know you, and no one will remember you or think of you. β
That's good, maybe in their hearts, I was originally a wisp of wind. But what the hell is the matter with the immortals? I was a little hesitant.
The old man found a chair and sat down on his own, probably a little tired from standing for a long time.
"My mouth is dry, children shouldn't be so difficult to deceive, no, it's hard to tell. β
I felt that there was a loophole in his words, and the origin was unknown, so I slowly became afraid, and I was thinking about rejecting him.
He commanded me: "Open your mouth!"
"What?"
"After eating this attraction, you are the new god of wind. It is the power of the wind, and it will replace your original heart and make you reborn. β
I jumped out of bed and onto the floor, ready to run away.
But he cast a spell, and my limbs couldn't move, and I slowly opened my mouth.
The blue star slowly floated over and slowly got into my mouth.
In this moment, I felt like I was in a frenzy, something was forcibly taken away, something was forcibly injected. I felt another magical power fill my whole body, my limbs were free, and my mind was clear.
"Alright, come with me. "Whitebeard's face is happy. "Why did I go with you?" I asked, puzzled.
"For I am the messenger of the stars and your guide. I'm going to take you to the Divine Realm and let you cultivate into a true Wind God. He continued: "This is my mission and my priesthood, I only appear at this time, and when you reach the divine realm, I will disappear and you will never see me again. β
"Who rarely sees you?" I muttered.
He took me by the hand and walked out the door, and something strange happened!
We flew out of the courtyard surrounded by high walls and into the high night sky.
I looked back at the houses and streets that were getting smaller and farther away, and a turbulent ocean swelled up in my heart: "Forget me! I don't deserve to rest in your memories anymore, farewell, my earthly world!"
"By the way, you haven't told me what your name is. I turned around and asked the strange old man beside me.
He turned his head and smiled slightly, "Me? My name is Lone Crane." β
Lone Crane's cloud driving skills are not bad, and I didn't feel a little dizzy. The wide cloud car is as comfortable as a sofa. I heard the wind whirring in my ears, and I saw multicolored stars passing in front of me and disappearing into the distance.
"How long are we going to fly like this?" I couldn't help but ask. "It's almost time to stop. He replied.
As I was talking, a golden avenue appeared in front of me, shrouded in countless auspicious clouds and mist, and I couldn't help but open my mouth wide in surprise.
The lonely crane collected the clouds and pulled me on this road. He said, "This is the path to the Heavenly Realm, and after passing through the Heavenly Gate, we will reach the Heavenly Realm." β
After walking for a while, a huge door appeared in front of me, reaching into the sky.
I was looking left and right, when suddenly, out of nowhere, two heavenly soldiers jumped out, brandishing silver spears, blocking the way.
"Stop!" shouted the Celestial Soldier.
Seeing this, Gu He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I am the Aeolian Star Envoy, this is the newly elected Aeolian God, and I want to introduce him to the Heavenly Realm for cultivation." As he spoke, he took out a token and shook it in front of the Heavenly Soldier.
The Heavenly Soldiers looked at the token and looked me up and down again, and one of them pouted: "Such a small point, can also be a god of wind?"
So as soon as they pulled the knocker, the gate of heaven burst open, and when they looked inside, there were boundless clouds and mist.
We walked into the gate of heaven, only to see countless strange flowers and plants and rare birds and beasts, the fairy mountain towers into the clouds, the divine water is low and gurgling, it is really picturesque, beautiful.
Lone Crane let go of my hand and bowed to me: "Fengshen, the mission of the little envoy has been completed here, and you need to go down by yourself in the future, and the little envoy is here to say goodbye." β
I grabbed him by the sleeve, "I'm so small, what if I'm hungry? You want me to survive in the wilderness?"
He broke free of my hand and stroked his beard: "Small, there is a fast-growing spring fifty miles ahead, and after you drink the spring water, you can grow up." As for being hungry, have you seen the fruit trees here? The fruits on the trees are delicious, longevity and non-toxic, so you can eat them as you like. β
I still want to catch him, I still have a whole bunch of questions to ask. But he spun around and vanished.
I wanted to cry out loud to forget about the feeling of being abandoned. But strong people can also overcome adversity, so I have to pick myself up.
I ate first. The lone crane is right, the fruit on the tree is juicy and delicious, and it is completely digested, leaving no residue.
When I was full, I fell asleep in the tree and I was a little tired. I didn't know how long I slept, but I woke up.
I think about growing up, and the Rapid Spring, where is it?
I walked and walked in the direction of the lonely crane's finger, and gradually came to the bottom of a mountain. What a fairy mountain! I can see the dangerous peaks through the sky, the high forests cover the sun, you can hear the birds, you can smell the fragrance of flowers, and you can't help but make people feel refreshed and happy.
I was in a trance when I heard a shout, "Stop, what?" and I was really taken aback.
