Chapter 4: Among the Jewels
There was only Xingyao alone on the quiet and calm Xingyue Ridge, and at this time, a weak girl's voice sounded, the key was what the woman said, which shocked Xingyao's heart!
"Brother Xingyao..."
The woman whispered, and her voice seemed weak, even dying.
"Ziyue!?" Xingyao didn't have to think about it, and rushed back.
Isn't this Ziyue? Only Ziyue would call herself like this, although six years have passed, Ziyue's voice has changed, but calling herself like this, and the familiar tone of voice between words, this is not Ziyue who else, but isn't Ziyue already dead?
Is this a delusion?
It was impossible to describe Xingyao's mood at the moment, he was excited and puzzled, and couldn't help but look at Ziyue's corpse, but Ziyue was still lying on the ground in that position, and he couldn't feel any breath from her at all.
Xingyao couldn't help but look around, and the voice sounded again.
"Great, it's really you, although you have grown up, I remember the look in your eyes. Although the girl's voice was weak, there was a familiar anger between the words, as well as excitement and joy.
"Girl, it's really you!?How can this be?" Xingyao was so excited that he was about to fall unconscious, this was the feeling of going from hell to heaven in an instant.
Xingyao was really stunned, if Ziyue was not dead, then how could the corpse of Ziyue in front of him be explained? Xingyao hurriedly squatted down and held Ziyue in his arms to take a closer look, but Ziyue's body was still cold, her pretty face was pale, and she had no life.
"Oh my God, what's wrong with today, are you stupid? I'm just a mortal, don't scare me, your old man, my fragile heart can't afford it!" Xingyao suddenly looked at the sky and muttered to himself.
When I woke up at the beginning of the sixth year, first the nine stars converged, then the purple moon fell, and then the mysterious scroll entered my own sea of consciousness, and now the purple moon is actually talking!?
"Where the hell are you, aren't you already .....," Xingyao couldn't bear to say that word.
"I.... I don't know, it's big, it's vast, and it's dazzling......"
"What!?"
Xingyao could hear it in the clouds, and the scene that Ziyue said was being generated in his head, but no matter how he thought about it, it didn't match reality?
"Calm down! Calm down! Xingyao slapped his forehead with his right hand.
"Ahh
Ziyue suddenly exclaimed, and from this exclamation, you could hear how sad it was!
"No, how is this possible!?" Xingyao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, looking at the gem on his right wrist in extreme shock.
Because the right hand pressed his forehead, the gem hung in front of his eyes, and Ziyue's exclamation was very clear, it was actually from this gem!!
"I see...... You're holding another me...... Wow......" Ziyue continued, but at this point, she couldn't help but cry.
"Isn't it! it's really in the gem!?" Xingyao couldn't believe it, and even took the gem to his ear to listen carefully, and sure enough, the cry became clearer.
What's even more speechless is that Ziyue said something about another her, which made Xingyao's head bigger.
"God, your old man is cruel to me, making such a big joke?"
"Ziyue, don't cry first, don't be afraid with me, say well, what is the other you? You tell me your current situation. Xingyao asked very seriously at the gem.
"Hmm... I seem to have arrived in another world, it feels endless, there is a bright light everywhere, I can't open my eyes, but there is a huge hole in the sky, and it seems to be a mirror, you appear in this mirror, there is no one here, not even a single grass or tree, brother, I am so scared!"
"What!?"
So, could it be that there is an endless world inside the gem? Is the purple moon in such a place? If that's the case, then what's the matter with the purple moon lying in his arms?
"Brother, I remember being sucked in by the whirlpool just now, and I seemed to see you in it, but then I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I found that I was here. I feel so weak now, and I still have a feeling of nothingness, am I dead? I should be a soul now, and you are holding it.... Is it my physical body?" Ziyue couldn't hold back even more after speaking, crying so much that the pear blossoms rained.
"Soul!?" Xingyao couldn't help but suddenly realize when he heard this.
I have heard that when a person dies, his soul will leave his body and go to another place, but I have never heard that the soul can communicate directly with the living.
Speaking of souls, Xingyao does have a little clue, in fact, the moment Ziyue was pulled into the light mask by the whirlpool, he lost his life, and now Ziyue's body is still in front of his eyes, this is a true fact, and the one who speaks in the gem should be Ziyue's soul.
At that time, the light mask was broken, and Xing Yao picked up Ziyue with one hand, it should have been that time to suck Ziyue's soul into the gem, and this gem has the ability to swallow the energy of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect it to be able to absorb people's souls. What's even more amazing is that there is a world inside, and the soul can exist in this world.
All of a sudden, the whole thing seemed to make sense.
Unexpectedly, after Ziyue's death, her soul was sucked in by mistake, and Ziyue could still see Xingyao and talk to each other, which can be regarded as joy in sorrow, at least this is not the result of the eternal separation between heaven and man.
"I'll go, what kind of treasure is this, how can it fit the next world, it's endless...."Xingyao untied the gem with great interest, pinched it with his fingers, and put it in the sunlight to take a closer look.
Suddenly, the scroll in the sea of knowledge shook slightly, pulling Xingyao's mind into the sea of knowledge and coming to the circular continent.
Xingyao was surprised to find that at this time, on the annular continent, one of the original eight continents had changed, and the entire earth lit up, while the other seven did not move, still hazy and gray.
The brightened continent became much clearer, the land was full of gray-brown rocky mountains, which looked pitted and stretched, and there was no living thing left, a primitive and barren scene, the sky was pitch black, but a little light poured down, like stars falling.
"Star Continent"
A noun suddenly appeared in Xingyao's mind.
"This is called the Star Continent? This is just one of the pieces of the Ring Continent, so the other seven pieces have their own names? But why did this continent suddenly light up? It still sucked my mind, could it be that something is going to happen?"
"Hum..."
At this time, the Star Continent seemed to come to life, the mountains and rivers shook, and the little light in the air surged, and in the center of the continent, suddenly an invisible and colorless power shot out, and Xingyao's idea also rushed out of the scroll in an instant with this power, and rushed out of the sea of knowledge.
And the strange blue symbol on Xingyao's forehead reappeared, emitting a divine blue light, shining on the gem, Xingyao only felt that he was uncontrollable and crashed headlong into the gem.
"Wow, what's going on!?"
Xing Yao's eyes were in chaos, as if he had passed through the endless void, and after passing through an extreme area of white light, his head ached sharply, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had come to a world of brilliance.
There are no sun, moon and stars, no living beings, but the light in the sky is shining, and in the blazing white light, there are huge light patterns of nine colors, slowly rippling in one direction like a wave; the ground is full of yellow-white rocks, and occasionally you will see some rock crevices, revealing crystal stones of various colors half a foot high; from a distance, there are cracks in some places on the ground, and strong light bursts out from these cracks.
In short, this is an endless world of light and dazzling.
Not far away, a purple-clothed girl was holding her knees, floating on the ground, her body was shrouded in a thin layer of white light, but at this time, her body seemed a little empty, she looked up at the sky, her face was full of tears.
And just above her head, about a hundred zhang away, there was a huge hollow, and in the void there was a picture of Xingyao pinching the gem in a daze.
"That's Purple Moon!"
Seeing this scene, Xing Yao was stunned, he knew that this was what Ziyue said, the world of light among the gems.
He never expected that he would be able to come here and see everything here, but he was not in a soul state, but a thought, and he knew that it was all the power on the Star Continent that brought him in.
That power is not simple, it can be emanated from the sea of human consciousness, through the real world, and then into the space of the gem, and it also brings in Xingyao's thoughts, I don't know if it is a coincidence, or acting with Xingyao's will, in short, it can't be explained.
"Girl, I saw it, I actually saw you. Xingyao was very excited and quickly came to Ziyue.
"Brother, why did you come in too, are you ......" Ziyue stood up excitedly, and then she was very confused, and stretched out her jade hand forward, feeling that Xingyao's voice was in front of her, but Ziyue couldn't see him or touch it, which made Ziyue very dazed.
"I don't know how to explain it to you for a while, anyway, you can see me, I can see you, and we can be together every day like before. Xingyao smiled knowingly.
Being able to see Ziyue with his own eyes made Xingyao feel relieved, and for Ziyue's death, this may be the best result, but he didn't expect that six years later, the two brothers and sisters would be reunited in this way.
Xingyao wanted to continue talking, but suddenly couldn't help but look at the sky, and among the ripples of the nine-colored waves, a message actually came to Xingyao.
