Chapter 2 Clan Spring Examination

The rest of the month passed quietly, and perhaps others were diligent in changing for the sake of ideals and ambitions, but Luoyu was still repeating the habits he had developed over the years.

Whether it is endorsing martial arts or living in daily life, he can imagine his brother accompanying him with his eyes closed. It was only when he needed to talk under the impetus of inertia, or simply looked at the place where he thought his brother should be, that he realized that it was already empty, and he was actually used to solitude.

At night, deep dreams cut him off from the world, and during the day, walking alone in the hustle and bustle, even if he passes by more people, he can't help but feel as if he and others exist in two parallel worlds that do not intersect, like the feeling of falling into a dream makes the illusion and reality become different and different.

Day after day, the lights of the study are kept on all night, and the people in it, who struggle with sleepiness and nightmares, often retreat, lie on their desks unconscious, not so much asleep as into a coma.

Until the frozen mountains finally thawed, the tiny trickles of countless snow melted flowed down the river, and the heavens and the earth reappeared with vividness and agility, and the hope in the hearts of the people of Lushan County began to move.

In the early hours of the morning when all the children overcame their sleepiness and got up, and were taken out of the city by the elders of the clan to look forward to the favor of fate, Luoyu failed in another night when he tried his best to stay awake, and unconsciously lay on his desk and sank into the deepest nightmare.

He didn't know that he was surrounded by people at the moment. In addition to their parents' servants, there was an elder who had taught the two brothers, and a little girl whose cheeks and eyes were flushed with urgency.

"Didn't he say yesterday that he wouldn't sleep? how could this be?" He had heard of Luoyu's strange appearance for a long time but had never seen it with his own eyes, and in addition to deep incomprehension, there was also a hint of hatred in the elder's tone.

Indeed, Luoyu, who has repeatedly promised that he will never go wrong, is alive and well at this time, like an uncompetitive bear child, and it is no wonder that others blame him. After all, in this situation where people will ignore it intentionally or unintentionally whenever they encounter good things, there are still people who are willing to take care of their former friendships and come to him for a trip, and he should be grateful.

But in fact, Luoyu's expectations for this day are stronger than anyone else's, no matter how slim the chance, he can't always be defeated by the ridiculous reason of being unconscious and missing the opportunity.

He spent the whole night desperately trying to keep himself awake, and all the methods that had worked were used back and forth many times to get him through the hardest moments after midnight.

It's a pity that he didn't expect that there is a law in this world called that things must be reversed. When he repeated the idea of "don't sleep, don't sleep" out of inertia, it became the best lullaby at all.

At some point, his lucid thoughts had stopped, and Luo Yu didn't even realize how he had appeared in that dream in a daze.

On weekdays, he would unconsciously feel lost, confused, and unaware of what to do in this lonely world that he could not feel and touch, and then gradually became agitated because he had stayed in this environment for too long, desperately trying to figure out his situation but gaining nothing, and then irresistibly fearing and panicking the unknown.

However, today, without a clear consciousness, he did not have to endure the torture of dreams, and this night became the most relaxing night he had in recent days.

As for his parents, because they knew that there was nothing they could do about the strange situation, they could only apologize to the elders again and again, and kept expressing their helplessness and gratitude.

They had never had unrealistic illusions about Luoyu in the first place, and after asking for a famous doctor in the county to no avail, they didn't expect him to touch that boundless luck. If it weren't for the elders, they probably wouldn't have tried to wake him up at all.

Just as everyone had already begun to politely say goodbye, urging the elder to quickly take the girl out of the city, only the girl, who looked younger than her actual age, was still pulling the elder's sleeve and begging him not to give up.

The girl's age may not be sensible, but the more innocent she is, the more she can experience a little more than others, how stubborn this teenager who has always followed her brother like a shadow and lacks a sense of existence. Even if no one noticed, he was working hard in his own way and never thought of giving up.

Therefore, she is the most anxious person at this moment. It's just that she is soft-spoken, no matter what she says, she is treated as a child's joke, and she directly ignores the past, so anxious that she can't help but stomp her feet again and again.

Perhaps the identity of this girl could not attract the attention of the elders at all, let alone whether she would be able to catch up with the chances outside the city. Therefore, the curiosity about the strange situation easily overcame the "responsibility" of sending the girl out of the city, and the elder quickly made the decision to try it himself.

Since the ordinary method was useless, the elder didn't waste his efforts in vain, he simply directly transported his true qi and went towards Luo Yu's body. Although he is not proficient in medical skills, martial arts masters know the body no less than healers, and the elder believes that ordinary problems cannot escape the detection of true qi at all.

It's a pity that this self-confidence didn't last long, and a puzzled expression crept up his face, and the elder muttered to himself, "It's really weird, no problem, why can't you wake up?"

As he muttered to himself, the wandering true qi passed by the edge of Luoyu's heart.

It seemed that he had inadvertently touched some forbidden law, and without warning, a strange force field suddenly erupted from the position of Luoyu's heart, completely isolating the nearby space in an instant!

The change was too fast to catch and didn't leak a ripple, and time and space in the little study stood still, all of them in a last-minute posture and unaware of what was happening to them.

The only exception to this was the elder himself, his true qi was connected to his heart, and he immediately felt an aura that made him awe-inspired, and even wanted to bow and worship under his hood!

He felt that he was in trouble, and he was sure that no matter what he woke up, it was definitely not the child he had watched grow up, but something very different from mortals in terms of life level and even from any point of view......

He was afraid, but he was in awe. He found himself too small, too small to guess how the other person existed, and the extent of joy, sorrow, good and evil.

The human being's subconscious fear of the unknown caused the elder to make all kinds of terrible speculations in his heart, as if the existence he had awakened was a demon, but he could not deny that this strange force field seemed to have a sacred feeling, which made him want to get close to it irrepressibly.

The contradictions and apprehensions in his heart made him tremble, and the process of waiting for the ending to be revealed was tantamount to an ordeal.

The first thing that came to the elder's mind was the cultivator that everyone in the county was talking about recently, because in the eyes of mortals, a cultivator was a god-like existence.

But for some reason, he subconsciously denied this speculation, and only that word kept circling in his mind......

God.
