Chapter 12: The Heavens of the Wonder (1)
In the living room, Carette and Jose looked at each other with solemn expressions, and neither of them could say a word.
Outside, the sky is getting brighter, and there are vague passing cars on the ring road in the distance.
Everything hasn't changed, life goes on, it's still so peaceful, but who can predict how long such harmony and tranquility will last?
"What are you thinking, Karete?"
Jose asked, looking at her.
“...... What about you? What are you thinking at this moment?"
Carette asked casually, and the lonely and weak back of Jose's mother when she walked out of the living room suddenly came to her mind, and the first night she lived in the He's house, she was courteously holding a bowl of hot soup with a loving smile on her face.
"I'm thinking about what my dad just said......" Jose exhaled, and said faintly:
"When a family is together, whether rich or poor, it is the most satisfying and happy life......
Kareta nodded sympathetically, "Maybe we were wrong." The sky is falling, and no one can escape it. Jose, your parents, and many elders like them, may be stronger than we think!"
"Hmm!"
Jose nodded in encouragement.
......
In the following days, at the request of Carrete, Jose's family set out to find all kinds of needles and threads from the streets and alleys of Beijing and piled them into Carette's bedroom.
Once she had gathered all the things she needed, Carette locked herself in her bedroom and kept busy.
José stayed outside her bedroom all day, as Carreta had ordered, not even leaving to eat and drink, never peeking into the room, and not allowing his parents to come and disturb her.
Jose's mother was worried, more about Carrete's pregnant body. At first, she approached Carette's bedroom to ask her out for dinner, but her son repeatedly persuaded her to leave. Later, she simply put the three meals a day on a large plate and put it outside the door of Karete's bedroom.
Xu was so hungry that Carreta finally carefully opened a crack in the door the next morning after locking herself in the room.
"Karete?...... How are you? Somewhere, is there anything wrong with your body?"
José set up a chaise longue outside the door and was napping on it. Hearing the movement, he hurriedly turned around, rubbed his eyes with both hands, and became much more conscious.
Through a crack in the door, he saw that she looked haggard inside, and knew that she must have not closed her eyes all night.
Inside she smiled tiredly and shook her head, and whispered, "I'm fine...... It's you, it's really hard to take care of me so that I don't get disturbed by the outside world. ”
"You have instructed you! You are working hard to save the people in the world, how dare I slack off?"
José pushed the plate on the floor into the door:
"You haven't eaten for a day, your body is important, for the sake of the baby in your belly, you can stop and rest for a while, eat something! This is my mother's breakfast that has just been prepared, and it is still hot. ”
"I'm really hungry and out of strength, so you're welcome!"
Kareta smiled embarrassedly, quickly pulled the large plate full of food and soup inside, and before José could take a second look inside, she slammed the door shut.
For the next few days, Carette remained closed, but during the time of three meals a day, she would mysteriously open the door and quickly push out the empty dishes that she had eaten the previous meal, and then replace them with the food of this meal. Occasionally, she would stop for a break and listen through the door to the news that Jose had brought with her.
Soon after the Greek island of Crete sank into the sea, major natural disasters occurred in various European countries, such as meteorites falling from the sky, bottomless pits, torrential rains and floods, plunging people's lives into endless panic and chaos.
Normal work and rest, work and life had to be interrupted, and the reaction of various religious groups was quite extreme, and they used the streets or the Internet ~ to promote the horror rumors that the end of the world had come, and then there were many collective suicides, and the social crime rate once climbed to the highest point.
......
On the evening of the seventh day, the door of the bedroom, which had been closed for many days, was completely opened.
Sweat-drenched Kareta leaned against the edge of the door frame, her face sallow and her breath weak.
"Karete, ...... What's wrong with you?"
Startled, José jumped up from the recliner and ran up to help her.
"Human ...... There is salvation!" Carette leaned against José's chest and said in a dying voice, her back weakened, but her right hand clutched a roll of white cloth.
"Karete!
"How did this kid get like this?
When Jose's mother heard the exclamation, she ran over and was also surprised, so anxious that she only knew that she was circling around her son.
"Mom, go get some hot water!"
"She's fainted, let's go to the hospital......"
"Can't go to the hospital!"
José decisively interrupted his mother, picked up Carette and approached the bedroom, put her on the bed, and arranged the pillow and quilt for her to lie down more comfortably.
"Mom, you go and prepare some nutritious meals, and when Kareta wakes up, she will eat, and I'll take care of them here. ”
"Is it really okay not to send him to the hospital?" José's mother looked at her son's calm face, and her expression was incredulous.
"Trust me!"
"Alright then, I'll cook! You keep an eye on this, and if there's anything you need to call me!"
"Don't worry!"
Breaking his mother's back, José softly closed the door and walked over to the bed.
Since becoming an immortal demigod under the protection of Hades, José's perception of the power in his body has increased day by day.
Now that his parents were away, he decided to try to channel some source power to Kareta to make her feel more comfortable when she was unconscious.
Because he had no such experience before, Jose was also cautious at this time, for fear that if he was not careful, it would backfire.
After concentrating and calming down, Jose slowly raised his palms and saw that they were scattering streams of bright blue light. Jose knew that the source power in his body had gathered on these two palms, and this was the perfect time to use the source power.
So he brought his two hands close to Karet's body, one centimeter apart, and slowly moved from the bottom to the top. When the light on Jose's hand was completely extinguished, Jose stopped.
Looking at Kareta again, seeing that her strained expression in her deep sleep had eased, and her cheeks were slightly flushed, he knew that her body had absorbed the source power of his blue light gathering just now, and his heart was much more steady.
In the evening, Carreta opened her eyes.
"Where's my picture?"
As soon as she woke up, she was very nervous and searched around.
"You're finally awake?...... What is the Celestial Map?"
José stood by the bedside, and asked in surprise when he saw Carette crying hysterically from the moment she opened her eyes.
"Jose, Jose, how long have I been asleep? in my room,
Have you found a very large one?"
"You mean that, right?
José turned around and took a roll of white cloth and handed it to Carette.
"Could it be that you didn't weave this out of the door for a few days? Why are you so nervous?"
Carette took the white cloth roll in her arms, gasped a few times with relief, and replied:
"This is the way I found the salvation of the world after thinking about it, and I named it the 'Mitian' diagram!"
"Mi Tian Tu?"
José took the cloth roll in amazement and flipped it up and down.
The cloth scroll is no more than two meters long, halfway unfolded, and the cloth is still a snow-white and empty piece, not to mention a flower, even a trace of embroidery thread is difficult to see.
"This ......" José didn't know why, and opened the remaining half of the cloth, and it was still white.
José looked left and right again, his eyes searching the room.
Strangely enough, he remembered that a few days ago he and his mother had traveled all over the city, searching for all the silk threads they could find, and the spools of various colors were almost piled up all over the room.
But now, except for the empty shaft in the bedroom, there is no trace of silk threads at all.
Carreta saw Jose's doubts, wiped her sweaty face, and explained to him: "In the mythical era, Noah built the Endless Ark to save all creatures trapped by the flood. Now I am following the example of the saint and weaving this 'heavenly' picture with my own hands. Don't you underestimate it, it's hiding a lot of good things in it? Jose, do you dare to try it?"
"Into the picture?"
"Hmm......" Kareta smiled and nodded
Jose was very surprised, and hurriedly said:
"If it's a treasure you knitted yourself, of course I'd like to go in and take a look!"
Kareta pursed her lips and folded her hands.
Summoned, the cloth roll leapt from the ground to the ceiling, standing upright in the air, and a warm orange light spilled out from between the cracks in the rolled white cloth.
Kareta didn't speak, her folded hands slowly moved in two opposite directions, her ten fingers trembling slightly with the fluctuating air currents as the source force spread.
The hanging cloth scroll opened meter by meter, and suddenly, the hundred-meter embroidered cloth reflected infinite warmth and sacred brilliance.
José was bathed in that light, and he felt an invisible attraction in front of him, leading him to a mysterious and unknown world.
Under that glorious baptism, his mind experienced a sense of tranquility and comfort that he had never experienced before, and it seemed that all his burdens had been lifted. He involuntarily spread his arms, with a calm smile, and his body gradually shrank under the traction of the absorbing force, until he was brought into that mysterious world...
At the moment of consciousness regain, José was standing in the middle of the square of his neighborhood.
He looked around nervously but curiously, familiar buildings, familiar street furniture, but there was no one else but himself.
Jose took two quick steps on the empty road of the community, and looked up at the sky nervously.
A cloudless clear sky, with a gentle breeze blowing, with the breath of early spring.
No, this is not my home. At this time, my family should be in the middle of winter.
José suddenly found the clue and began to believe that he was in the world of cloth scrolls, which Carreta called "the Atlas of Heaven".
José raised his head to the sky and shouted:
"Karete, can you hear me, where are you?"
"Jose, what's going on with you, what do you see?"
Kareta's question fell across a clear sky, echoing in the clearness.
"I ...... I saw my own home, but my parents and you were not. ”
"The scenery you see in the sky map is the place you love the most in your heart. With a little imagination, you can create a unique Heaven and Earth Immortal Source for yourself. But you can't see any other life than that, because they haven't been included in the picture. ”
"Attachment, Imagination ......"
José muttered and repeated, as if he had realized something. He walked ahead for a moment, and a theme park appeared on the road.
José laughed, his surprise palpable.
Sure enough, the scene that comes to mind will appear in front of you.
José entered the park full of joy when he suddenly felt hungry, so he stopped outside a gazebo.
An idea flashed through his mind, and then he looked into the gazebo, where a drawer of meat-scented xiaolongbao, two plates of refreshing side dishes, and a bowl of steaming white porridge were already placed on the round stone table.
"That's amazing, isn't it?"
José exclaimed and happily ran into the pavilion and sat down at the table. I stuffed a bun with chopsticks and stuffed it into my mouth, and the juice overflowed.
At this time, he felt the familiar aura of divine power source lingering around this pavilion.
Jose was stunned, and the bun rolled down from between the chopsticks.
"Kareta, I'm going out!"
Jose couldn't wipe away the cold sweat on his head, and shouted up to the sky:
"Karetta, let me out! I have something for you—"
