Chapter 5 Dreams
Whether it's a dream or a wake-up call, Youfang doesn't care at all. Such a comfortable experience, he had never felt before. In particular, these soft and warm lights around the body make people feel tired and lazy at the same time, just like the cold that has not faded in early spring, making people always greedy for the residual warmth of the bed. It's just that no matter how beautiful things are, they can't help but repeat and repeat, like sugar cubes, if you eat too much, you will always get tired.
But this dream has been a long time. The important thing is that I can't move in my dream, and I can't change my posture if I want to, so I can only pestle like a stake.
Unconsciously, a long time has passed, and Youfang has long lost the tranquility at the beginning, and his mood has become uneasy with the passage of time, and he only feels that every second here is torment, not to mention the warm light that gradually gets hot at some point, which makes him even more anxious.
For a moment, he began to suspect that he was not in a dream at all, but he could not remember what had happened before.
When he was at a loss, he saw a few blurred shadows appear in the warm light, giving himself a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness. He thought about it for a moment, not sure if he had seen it, if only he could get closer.
I thought about it casually, but I got an immediate response.
Light and shadow flow rapidly, and a strange world is presented in front of Youfang's eyes.
......
The sky here is not obscured by clouds, and the blue is clean and thorough. The ground here is not covered with snow, and is full of turquoise grass. Not far away, the creek is playing a refreshing movement......
The monotonous white of the column town all year round makes Youfang feel that this is a fairyland. The body and mind are completely intoxicated, and the most comfortable thing to do is to lie on the grass, stir the slightly shy grass, take a nap in the cool breeze, and then stretch comfortably after waking up......
But he couldn't do any of this, and he found that he was still the immobile stake. But it's a good dream, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery to yourself.
But he soon discovers that he's not the only one here.
Not far away, smoke rose from the stove, and there stood small rooms.
Youfang wanted to see this more realistically, so his heart was full of thoughts about approaching. He has gradually understood that although he can't move in his dreams, he can travel freely with his thoughts. Just like this time, he brought himself to the main road of the house.
......
The people in the small room came out one by one to enjoy their leisure time after dinner.
Standing on the main road, Youfang felt that his throat was a little dry, probably forgetting that he was in a dream, until they passed by one by one. And he soon found that the faces of these people were a little blurry, and he couldn't see them clearly, but a touch came from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps it is because of this land that people here are pure and feel close. Unlike the people of Lanzhen, who are born to run around, worry about their livelihood, and work and sleepiness have been cultivated since the mother's womb, let alone when they grow up.
The people who came out of the small room gradually gathered in a clearing, around a large stone formation. A huge cobblestone floated in the air, and the crowd saluted at the top of the cobblestone, and their mouths were full of words.
From the moment he saw the round stone, he felt a wonderful itch lingering all over his body, giving him a kind of closeness with ten fingers connected to his heart, as if the round stone had an inseparable relationship with himself. But he clearly remembered that this was the first time he had seen it, so where did this feeling come from?
When puzzled, the scene changes again.
......
Different from the previous beauty, a palpitating picture came into view.
The world is filled with the light of fire, making it impossible to tell whether it is day or night. The eyes of the world were only filled with horror, and they looked indifferently into the air. Youfang followed and looked and saw a huge fireball occupying the dome. Countless points of fire peeled away from the fireball, and fell like rain. As the fireball gets closer to the ground, the wind engulfs it, fueling the fire and extinguishing the world's desire to survive.
Youfang looked at this scene of the end of the world, his heart was desolate, he felt helpless at the same time, and suddenly felt his own insignificance, and he couldn't help but flash such a question in his mind, if the four kings and one emperor made a move, would they be able to stop this catastrophe.
There was no time to guess too much, and Youfang was attracted by a colorful streamer in the air and landed in a clearing not far away. The streamer receded, and a figure gradually emerged, along with a stone ball emitting a soft and warm light.
The moment he saw this person, Youfang only felt extremely kind, and the feeling of purity in his heart came spontaneously. Looking at the stone ball again, an indescribable sense of familiarity immediately surged in my heart, and I only felt that this was the one I had seen before, the difference was that this stone ball had a warm light.
Confidence and strength naturally emanated from this man, making Youfang believe that he was the savior of this catastrophe. But he didn't strike immediately, but stood where he was, looking into the distance, as if waiting for something. Youfang looked in his direction and saw that more streamers were coming in the endless sea of fire. More people came here. There are also some strange creatures, like the mythical beasts described by the world.
You found that they all had a common feature - they all carried a stone ball of different colors. It's not clear what this represents, but judging by the temperament that exudes from these people, they are synonymous with strength.
The powerhouses who came here burst out at the same time with a beam of light that soared into the sky, converging together in the air, and the stone balls that came together rose with this beam and came to the top. They are connected end to end, in a circle, and they turn rapidly, and then they shine brightly.
When the light faded, the many stone balls disappeared, and a new stone ball appeared in the sky.
Different from the destructive aura of the world-destroying fireball, this newborn stone ball is full of life.
A white curtain of light was projected from the stone ball, like a huge umbrella, blocking the invasion of fire and rain and protecting everything in the world. Under the light curtain, a green rain fell, which extinguished the fire and revived everything quickly. It's just that the fireball in the air is still unabated, and it is still smashing towards the ground little by little.
Although it was in a dream, what he saw was illusory, but Youfang still couldn't help but worry. If this light curtain could not withstand the impact of the fireball, what would become of the world?
It's just that this worry quickly became redundant. At the same time as the light curtain was formed, the strong men came to the top of the stone ball in unison. After they glanced at each other, they stretched out their hands at the same time and put them on the stone ball.
They turned into a white light and shot up into the sky, heading straight for the fireball......
An awe-inspiring scene was echoing in Youfang's mind, and he couldn't help but ask himself if he could be as fierce as they were if he were himself.
Little by little, the fireballs began to collapse, and the detached pieces fell on the light curtain and stirred up countless points of light, rippling in Youfang's heart, and he just watched blankly, repeating the question that made his heart heavy.
It was only a sudden turn of events that interrupted him.
The moment the fireball completely shattered, a bright stone burst out of the debris and smashed into the light curtain......
In the end, the strong did not become the saviors of the world, and the light curtain did not resist the impact of the light stone. A terrible rift spread out from the earth, and countless magma erupted from the ground, and half of the earth was reduced to ashes in an instant......
However, the stone balls in the air did not stop, constantly projecting more light curtains, but such efforts seemed more like a drop in the bucket in Youfang's eyes. The "hellfire" that erupted from the ground was slowed down by the light curtain, but it still devoured everything bit by bit.
Youfang looked at the lonely stone ball that was still working hard, and felt sad inexplicably. Suddenly, he saw the stone ball stop and fly straight in his direction.
The stone ball stopped a few meters away, and then circled around him, as if to express something.
It saw me? Isn't this a dream?
Youfang was inexplicably frightened.
Before he could think about it, the stone ball turned into a streamer of light and crashed into the crack in the earth's surface......
Youfang knew that although this was a dream, his heart was still suddenly tight, and while sighing in his heart, he couldn't help but curse the injustice of the world.
The ending was a bit sad, but their efforts kept the hope of life.
A holy wall of fire burned above a crack in the earth's surface, keeping out the flames of hell, and nearly half of the world was spared.
In an instant, a pure desire rose in Youfang's heart, the problem that embarrassed him earlier no longer existed, and his mind was full of pride - the eldest husband should die without regrets.
It's just too late to sigh, and the picture changes again.
......
The sky is pure blue, and the earth is refreshing green.
The breeze blows across the water, rippling layers of blue waves.
"If this were the post-calamity world, their sacrifice would not have been in vain. Youfang looked at the colorful world and thought in his heart.
It's just that this beautiful scenery that made him difficult to extricate himself from now seems a little more boring, and more of a matter of course.
He wandered aimlessly in this strange world, all he could think about was when he would wake up.
Before he knew it, he came to a lake. A hurried sound of horses' hooves caught his attention. A sturdy man deftly jumped off the back of the horse that was about to stop, and without bothering to lead the horse into the stable, he hurried into the wooden house in front of him.
In the wooden room, on the wooden bed, there was a woman lying with a small quilt wrapped around the pillow, and a little life of unknown gender was sleeping peacefully.
The man half-knelt in front of the bed, took the woman's hand and held it in the palm of his hand, and his somewhat dry lips opened and closed slightly, as if to say sorry, and suddenly, the baby in the quilt began to cry loudly......
Youfang originally thought that he had become hard-hearted after seeing the end times, until he saw such a scene......
The black-robed people use their actions to explain what cruelty is.
Men and women do everything they can to show what "love" is.
The young, ignorant baby only howled and cried tirelessly.
There is a faint pain in the mouth of the square for no reason.
