Chapter 268: The Man You Should Not Look for (2/2)
Only Song Hong is different.
He's still looking for Natsu.
Even if you leave, you have to have some trace, right?
He went to look for footprints, find a place to stay, ask passers-by, and there was always a chance.
In this way, with the hope of Weimo, he searched for three years.
In the past three years, he has never let go of martial arts.
Occasionally, when I see those who followed Xia and Huang Shui back then, I will help.
Because of this, he also became familiar with many people in the rivers and lakes.
However, even in the fourth year, he still did not find any trace of Xia.
Even if it is millet water, I don't know where it disappeared inexplicably. Obviously she said she would stay.
Those two people seemed to disappear directly like bubbles in the town where they met back then.
No one had seen them leave.
No trace was left.
On that day, he rescued an old man who had followed Huang Shui.
The old man thanked him so much that he wanted to invite him to stay at home, but he shook his head.
At this moment, the rain fell all over the sky, and there was a haze between heaven and earth, and he looked at the sky for a while.
"Song Gongzi, you are looking for Miss Xia......"
Song Hong looked back suddenly, "Do you know her news?" ”
"No, I don't know, it's just that the old man can roughly guess that Song Gongzi has been traveling all over the world all these years, probably to see your master again, right?"
The rain fell on Song Hong, he didn't dodge, just let himself bathe in the rain, and the rain stuck his long hair to his cheeks and neck. He nodded.
"Song Gongzi, old and decrecent, with the experience of people who have come over, I advise you, don't spend your whole life looking for your master, if she doesn't want to see you, you are only afraid, it is impossible to find her......"
Song Hong stood up suddenly, and a trace of anger flashed across his face.
"No, even if she goes to the ends of the earth, I will definitely find her!"
Song Hong gritted his teeth and clenched his fingers tightly.
However, the old man looked at him with a deep sympathy in his eyes, and he said:
"But, Song Gongzi, have you ever thought about it...... If it's your master...... Isn't it the end of the earth? ”
"What do you mean by that?"
The old man's mouth moved, his face was a little afraid, but also a little nervous and hesitant, and finally, he still spoke: "Miss Xia, the single name has the word 'Xia', this name, if you add a surname......
"What's the last name?"
"Song Gongzi, you may have lost your life at a young age, and you haven't paid attention to the history of martial arts. Of course, little is known about this in the first place. As early as more than 200 years ago, there was a great martial arts master, who passed down the martial arts that we practice today. It's just that later, for some reason, few people dared to mention her name again. ”
"Yes, everyone regarded martial arts as being inherited by many of her disciples. And her own name is rarely mentioned...... However, I was once told by a senior who told me...... Her name is - Zhou Xia. ”
When the old man mentioned the name, he used a very small voice, and even a look of fear on his face, as if he did not want more people to hear it.
I'm afraid that if Song Hong hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have been willing to say it.
Song Hong couldn't understand why this old man was so afraid of the name Zhou Xia.
His master is indeed very strong, but she is not terrible. Even, he is still a gentle and cheerful person.
Moreover, more than two hundred years ago, people with the same name are just the same name, maybe it was the master or the master's parents who admired this great master in history, so they gave the name Xia.
"So, what are you going to say to me?" He asked.
The old man said: "Song Gongzi never thought about it, Miss Xia is about the same age as you, but her martial arts are invincible in the world, her skills are profound, and her swordsmanship is extraordinary, this is not like ...... It's not like a teenage girl. ”
Song Hongwu didn't believe it, and argued: "My master is a supreme genius, besides, she may also have been taught by a master. ”
The old man shook his head, as the so-called authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, Song Hong defended his master, but because he didn't want to admit the strangeness of his master, in the end, the old man couldn't help but say: "However, Song Gongzi may not know that Zhou Xia, the great master of martial arts back then, ended up in the end." ”
"Is it missing, or what? In the end, people are nothing more than death. ”
"No, she is neither dead nor missing, but, in the midst of her old age, a god came to earth and restored her youth with his own hands, and made her a god, and brought her back to the heavenly realm. Therefore, since Zhou Xia became a god from a man, her deeds and her name were avoided and no longer circulated in the world......"
Song Hong's pupils shrank suddenly.
"So, Song Gongzi, since I met Miss Xia, I have often thought that Miss Xia, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a mortal person...... In addition, the first name is the same, and the surname is not revealed, and after leaving, you can't find it anywhere...... All I can think of is ......"
"Miss Xia, maybe...... It's Zhou Xia, a real god! ”
Song Hong's whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he stiffened suddenly. Then, he walked quickly to the old man, "Then, old man, if it is a god...... If my master was really a god, where would she go? How can I find her? ”
"Gods...... In mythology, there is only one abode of the gods, and that is the heavenly realm above the nine heavens......"
The old man looked at the vast sky.
At this time, dark clouds cover the top, and the rain fills the sky and the earth.
He stretched out his withered hand and pointed his finger at the sky, where, on a normal day, a faint hourglass would appear.
"Song Gongzi, I am a mortal, how can I know how to go to the heavenly realm. If Childe is familiar with history, he should know that the gods once used an hourglass to show the Terrans several wrong things and punish them. When the sky clears, you can look at the hourglass of the gods and see that the sand is not half gone! This indicates that there are not many opportunities left by the gods for the human race! How dare we, mortals, risk the wrath of the gods in our sinful bodies to inquire about things that we should not be seeking? ”
"That's why I advise you, don't look for it. Song Gongzi, your master is not the person we mortals should be looking for! ”
Song Hong stood dumbfounded in the rain.
Suddenly, thunder rumbled, and a bolt of lightning streaked through the air, a blinding light, exploding very close to them.
The old man was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his head, squatted on the ground, and muttered a prayer in his mouth: "The gods are above, I was wrong, I shouldn't talk about the gods, please forgive me, I won't mention it again." ”
Looking at the old man cowering on the ground, Song Hong's heart was confused and confused.
Are you sure? Is it that, as this man said, all the threads point to that common terrible fact?
Xia, in fact, is named Zhou Xia, a god?
Is it a being from above, different from these mortals who are mired in the mire and can only struggle to survive in the misery of the world?
Is it an existence that he will never be able to touch?
……
He stood silently in the rain for a long time.
This is not right.
Song Hong shook his head.
Natsu, how could she be a god?
She's a living person!
She taught him harshly what it was like to practice swords.
The way she laughed and played with the millet water.
She sat on the roof, looking into the distance in a daze.
She bought a beautiful new dress, and took the corner of her skirt to ask if she looked good.
No matter what she looks like, it all shows that she is such a real and lovely person, not a so-called high god.
