Chapter 216: Love
I don't know when Cheng Ziyang stood by a lake as clear as a mirror. He felt his body fly lightly in the air, and there was a divine power that seemed to whisper to him in his ears......
He stood on the damp ground by the lake, with the endless water in front of him and the endless grassland behind him. The autumn wind gently lifted the hem of his clothes. He felt this way, in such a space, he was not the only one who imitated the living life.
Snow-capped mountains, lakes, blue skies, everything here is alive. It's just that he was born with the eyes of the world and can't see them.
A burst of whistles, faintly coming from a distance, was gentle and desolate, touching the loneliness in the deepest part of his heart, and his heart ached inexplicably.
In the distance, Ning Xiao's figure gradually entered his line of sight. She was a little tired from running and sweating profusely. When she saw him, she waved her little hand happily.
So, my thoughts were interrupted by her presence. She was cloaked in a patch of sunlight and rushed towards him, running with speed and lightness, but her footsteps still left a trail of marks on the sand.
His heartbeat involuntarily began to quicken. This feeling, which he had forgotten for a long time, was reawakened at this moment. The whistle followed Ning Xiao's figure closer and closer, until he could see her clearly.
"Shaw!" He called out to her loudly, waving his hand vigorously, and the loneliness just now was swept away.
"Brother Cheng, guess what I got it?" Ning Xiao heard his call and quickened his pace again, his voice full of joy, and rushed towards him.
He waited happily, his mind filled with the countless scenes she had surprised him. Suddenly, the originally calm lake water cracked in an instant, spreading its wings and sweeping towards Ning Xiao, quickly rolling Ning Xiao into the bottom of the lake.
"Shaw!" He was stunned and ran desperately towards the place where Ning Xiao had disappeared. However, when he stumbled to the edge of the lake, the lake had calmed down, and it was Ning Xiao's bone whistle that fell to the ground, and there were still a string of fresh footprints on the wetland......
The heart-rending pain made his body go limp, and he fell to the edge of the damp lake. He stretched out his hand and waved it weakly in the air, but his consciousness gradually blurred......
At this moment, Lingwu descended from the sky and gently lifted him up with its seemingly fragile wings. "Master, master!" He could hear it calling to him, but he didn't have the strength to respond.
"Boss, boss!" A lot of people are calling him that. It made him feel like he was dreaming again, dreaming of Ning Xiao, Song Dai, Qin Ji, etc., as well as his parents and the old man. Strange, isn't he in Neil at the moment? How can parents and old men appear here. Is it really a dream?
He opened his eyes vigorously and found that there was no one around, but Lingwu was really in front of him.
"Shaw, Shaw?"
He wanted to ask someone, but he couldn't open his mouth. In a hurry, he quickly sank into the darkness again, not knowing anything.
After waking up again and gradually regaining his senses, he saw Ning Xiao and Lingwu standing in front of him at a glance. Everything is so real, so intimate.
"Shaw!" He held out his hand. He felt satisfaction when he felt that the hand he had held was silky and warm. "You're finally back."
"Yes," Ning Xiao was also relieved to see Cheng Ziyang finally wake up. "I'm coming back to you."
"Oh," Hearing this, Cheng Ziyang finally felt joy from the bottom of his heart. His chapped lips were chapped and he said, "Shaw, my abilities have increased again. ”
"I know," Ning Xiao took out the space water and fed him it. "You've been raised four levels this time. But if you lift it too quickly, your body and mind will be overwhelmed, and you will almost go crazy. ”
"Ahh However, this is a real surprise for Cheng Ziyang. "So, I'm already at level 12."
"Hmm," Ning Xiao nodded, reminding him at the same time. "However, your body is also severely depleted and needs to recuperate in the short term."
"Oh-that's it," Cheng Ziyang had the heart to look at the surrounding situation. "Where is this? How do I feel as if I'm in a palace? ”
"Master, you're right," At this time, Lingwu had already flown to Cheng Ziyang's pillow and was explaining. "We're in a palace right now. However, it should not be called a palace, but a temple. ”
Next, Lingwu told Cheng Ziyang the allusion to the virgin green peacock. In the end, Cheng Ziyang also understood, it turned out that what was left here was just a wisp of the remnant soul of the virgin green peacock.
Ning Xiao didn't intervene, just peacefully fed Cheng Ziyang decoction.
"Ah," after explaining everything to Cheng Ziyang, Lingwu turned his head and asked again. "Ning Xiao, I don't understand why you didn't extinguish that remnant soul?"
"It didn't hurt anyone," Ning Xiao glanced at Lingwu and motioned for Cheng Ziyang, who had finished taking the decoction, to lie down and rest. "Instead, it also boosted your master's abilities, which is a great favor, can I destroy it? Then it will be me, not you, who will be damned. ”
"Oh-how did I forget about this stubble?" Lingwu embarrassedly stroked the back of his small head with his wings. "The higher your cultivation, the more severe the earthly restraint will be."
"You sleep for a while," Ning Xiao ignored Lingwu and comforted Cheng Ziyang. "When you wake up again, your body should be almost recuperate. We'll be able to get out of here. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Cheng Ziyang grabbed her hand tightly. "But don't get too far away from me."
"Hmm," Ning Xiao glanced at Lingwu, who was cleaning his feathers on the side, and then said to Cheng Ziyang. "Don't worry, I won't leave you easily."
"Oh-" At this time, Cheng Ziyang was finally able to relax and lie down to rest.
After Cheng Ziyang closed his eyes, Ning Xiao made a gesture to Ling Wu to protect him. Lingwu nodded in understanding, and she left with confidence.
Love and loneliness, loneliness comes from love, and people without love will not be lonely. People who have not fallen out of love do not understand love. People who have never been disappointed do not understand life.
At this moment, Ning Xiao came to the statue, and one person and one soul confronted each other like this.
"Is the human king alright?" After a long time, the idol was the first to speak.
In fact, loneliness is the fate of human beings, which is based on the accidental existence of a whirlwind in this world, coming from nothing and returning to nothing, and no one or anything can change this fate. Yes, not even love.
Whoever understands such a fundamental solitude in life has risen above all human love, and will not be a slave to love when he loves it most passionately.
"It's okay," Ning Xiao replied indifferently as he glanced at the shaman next to him who was trying his best to make the two sides of the confrontation feel transparent. "Thank you for doing him a great favor. Boosted his abilities dramatically. ”
In fact, in this world, there are two kinds of loneliness.
The soul searches for its own source and destination and cannot find it, feeling that it is an unfounded contingency in the vast universe, which is absolute, metaphysical, philosophical loneliness.
The soul seeks another soul and cannot find it, and feels that it is a wanderer in the world without a traveling companion, which is relative, metaphysical, social loneliness.
The former kind of loneliness leads one to divine and divine love, or to the void. The latter kind of loneliness leads people to love for others and on earth, or to fall into narcissism.
"Justice," the idol asked again. "Can you tell me how you feel when you become a goddess?"
"Oh," Ning Xiao felt that if he didn't answer this question properly, this guy would be entangled all the time.
So, she still set her sights on the shaman. No earthly love can lift metaphysical loneliness. However, if anyone harbors metaphysical loneliness, the love of the world has a metaphysical depth in his eyes.
When he loves someone, his heart is filled with holy compassion. In those he loves, he will again find the shadow of God.
"Is that feeling?" Ning Xiao's lips curled slightly. "You can ask your shaman. When he rose from the crowd to become your shaman, what was on his mind...... It should be the same feeling I felt when I became a goddess. ”
"Shaman, do you understand what justice said?" The idol did not respond half-loud. Finally, it points the sprouts at the shaman.
"Our Lady," the priest replied respectfully. "The goddess of justice is right. Actually, after coming out of the mortal world and becoming your shaman, I don't feel much different from becoming a god. ”
"Oh—" Hearing this, the idol thought for a long time before muttering to himself. "It turns out that I'm dark under the lamp!"
Loneliness comes from love, and people without love are not lonely.
Loneliness is perhaps the most meaningful gift of love, and the recipient of this gift has learned to love himself, as well as to understand other lonely souls and the deep love that lies deep within them. Thus establishing a precious spiritual world for himself.
Obviously, the idol is in its own spiritual world and is unaware.
"Okay, it's time for me to ask you this time," Ning Xiaofeng asked lightly. "The end of the world is coming, but there are very few zombies here, why?"
"Hehe," the idol smirked. "After the Holy Cult was introduced to the snowy region, a scripture about zombies was derived. I looked at the celestial statue and found out about this change, so I let all living beings know this scripture and deal with the zombie change. ”
"When the poisonous dust floats above my snowy mountain, I use my mana to disperse it...... The mana cost is huge, and I can't replenish it. That's why I fell to you. ”
"Oh," Ning Xiao heard what he wanted to know most, so he was willing to save some face for the other party, and nodded approvingly. "Yes, I'm a little bit out of the cracks."
