Chapter 22: The Morning Before Departure
Chapter 22: The Morning Before Departure
The rolling wind and dust scattered pale yellow arcs in the faint haze of the sun, like hoarfrost like snow petals spread in the cold desert of the morning light. The Golden River is rolling and surging, and every time the river rolls, many pods splash out with thick grains of sand. I don't know how long time has passed, and I don't know how long the river has flowed. I don't know how many people's hopes have been taken away, and I don't know how many souls have been taken away.
Boom β
The grains of sand on the ground tumbled up, bringing ripples that implicated the surrounding area. There was a tearing sound in the air as if it were struggling on the verge of shattering. Many of the air currents form a translucent layer of solid wind that spreads out at great speed.
"Zhenβ"
A clear and clear voice burst out of Mo Xuan's mouth, dragging a long tail note.
Boom β
The wind circle quickly rolled outward, rolling in patches of sand and frost one after another, with Mo Xuan as the center, and the whole land was cut in a circle to a depth of one foot.
It can be said that such a power is enough to be amazing.
"Whew, whewγγγγγγ β
Mo Xuan's face was slightly pale, he hunched his waist slightly and put his hands on his knees, his forehead was like a large bead of sweat from the faller, and the rose-black mark in the center of his eyebrows was shining faintly - this was the embodiment of the lack of imageless qi in his body.
Mo Xuan waved his sleeves, touched the sweat drops on his forehead, and sat down on the soft sand. Gasping for air. He glanced at the shaved ground around him, but the corners of his mouth showed unsatisfactory movements.
"I still can't blurt out the word 'Zhen' cleanly, so the end note is too long, and most of the momentum of the formation is dispersed in the intervening time. I've been practicing for more than a month, but I still haven't made significant progressγγγγγγ β
Mo Xuan's expression narrowed slightly, looking at the position of the rising sun in front of him. There was a molten glow around the golden sun, like a scorching sun burning the air. The waters of the Golden River flow quietly from the other side of the rising sun, shining in the sunlight with a luster as if it were melting gold. Then, all of these rivers flow into the abyss of nothingness, where the sun is about to end.
"Grandpa said that he pulls the rope of the sky and governs the sun to come to the world. He melted down his palace made of gold, flowed out of the golden river, and forged it again into a temple of gold in the final place!" Mo Xuan muttered to himself. Looking into the distance.
"Grandpaγγγγγ Mo Xuan's eyes showed a look of amazement. "Grandpa, I've been cultivating these things you have taught me very seriously every day, I just want us and the girl to meet sooner. β
As he spoke, Mo Xuan took out an ink-colored jade pendant from his arms, this jade pendant had a shiny texture, and it was not a mortal thing at first glance, and it even flashed with seven-colored light under the sun.
Mo Xuan put the jade pendant in his hand, and a cold texture flowed from his palm to his whole body. At this moment, the corners of his mouth hooked a faint smile, and a girl with watery blue pupils appeared in front of him, behind her, waist-length snow-colored hair dancing in the wind.
γγγγγγ
In front of the main hall, the orange-yellow sunset hung in the sky, and the clouds burned red for a long time. Thousands of miles stretch as far as the eye can see, covered with sand. A great river crossed from the desert to the remnant sun in the distance. A hazy red light shone out from the fallen land, cloning the whole world in crimson cloaks.
The two sat in front of the hall, looking at the sunset and the flowing river, the girl held her cheeks in her hand, looked at Mo Xuan and said, "Brother Mo Xuan, what do you think about your life experience?"
Mo Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but since Grandpa said so, then there must be a reason for him." I think if I can become a rune master, then there is hope for all this to be known. β
The girl pillowed on Mo Xuan's shoulder, raised her arm slightly, and said, "Also, although I also want to know my life experience, but only by becoming a rune master first, can I slowly know who I am in the future." With that, the girl chuckled and glanced at Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan smiled and touched the girl's long white hair. "In three years, I will be eleven years old, and when the time comes, I must go to worship Xuantu and become a rune master. When the girl heard this, she also pursed her lips and smiled, "I still have four years, but it doesn't matter, I must become a rune master." β
The sun was falling, and the yellow-red rendering in the distance was pulled farther and farther away. A glimmer of light pierced through the middle of the eaves of the temple and shone directly on the body of the stone statue, plating the majestic statue with a reddish-gold sheen, and the pair of ruby-encrusted eyes shimmered, as if witnessing the determination of the two children.
"Brother Mo Xuan, if, one day in the future, we leave each other, will we still remember each other?" the girl suddenly asked.
Mo Xuan smiled, flicked the girl's snow-white forehead, and said, "Girl, what are you talking nonsense, we will definitely not be separated." β
The girl touched her forehead, but said with some trepidation: "However, what if one of us becomes a rune master in the future, and the other does not, or is separated for various reasons." β
Hearing this, Mo Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, patted the girl's little head, and said, "No, I will never forget the little girl." β
"Brother Mo Xuan......" The girl's eyes flashed with tears, but the corners of her mouth were outlined with a smile. "Brother Mo Xuan, I won't forget you either. With that, she took off an inky jade pendant from her neck, half of which opened to the left, shining with a clear light.
"Brother Mo Xuan, this is my jade pendant. Since I was born, I have only had two such jade pendants by my side. I'll give you this one, and I'll hang the other one on my body, so that if we leave and meet again, we can get to know each other immediately. β
"Okay. Mo Xuan smiled and took the jade pendant. The jade pendant is a touch of coolness. He carefully put it around his neck, and immediately felt refreshed.
"It's agreed like this, no one is allowed to go back!"
The girl smiled, her long hair floating in the air, behind her was the endless river, the sun sank, and the light in the sky was all extinguished at this moment, I don't know if I couldn't bear the fall of the sun or the girl's smile.
γγγγγγ
"Girlγγγγγγ β
Mo Xuan smiled faintly, looking at the jade pendant in his hand and couldn't get out for a long time. Stunned for a long time, his mind came up with the past, although there was no wind and waves, but in that calm revealed warmth, whether it was a grandfather, or a girl, like a poor child accidentally got a cheap toy, like a desert oasis found by a desert traveler, in his heart, this is always a memory that he can never forget, is what he treasures, no one can take away the rare treasure.
γγγγγγ
In this way, Mo Xuan has been sitting, and it has reached the afternoon when the sun is setting.
Mo Xuan glanced at the sky, slowly stood up, and took the jade pendant into his arms with great cherishment. Stretching his body, he turned and walked towards the temple.
"The Pyramid of Agara begins to receive new life in the second month of each year, and it is time to go. β
Mo Xuan groaned, and looked up at the place where he had lived for twelve years.
At this moment, he saw the tall statue of Arubis in front of him. The idol looks into the distance, majestic, and welcomes the light of the setting sun.
"People pray to the gods day and night, but which god can understand the true desires of mortals?"
Mo Xuan sighed and walked to the depths of the main hall.
As twilight came, the golden river forged a temple in the final place, and the ropes fell into the endless abyssγγγγγγ
