Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Lonely Mermaid
This is the heavenly aurora in the mythology of the ancient country," the old man said excitedly, "The last time I came, I didn't see it, this kind of light is said to be produced when the ghost level big things fall, but it is too far away from the world, and it will take hundreds of thousands of years to reach here." ”
The kite looked at the sky in fascination and sighed: "In other words, what we see now is the light of tens of thousands of years ago, which is so beautiful." ”
A few people who could fly, all of them left the ground with their feet, they followed the souls of the ancient sea creatures, swimming freely between the "sea water", but Fang Tianmu stayed on the ground, his eyes can always see deeper things, the sky aurora has one more color in its eyes, it is silver white, it clearly outlines the texture of the aurora, Fang Tianmu feels that this line should have some kind of law, the side he looks up to see, similar to a small part of a petal, if you follow its roots to find, maybe you will find the heart of the flower.
Fang Tianmu told everyone what he thought, so everyone planned to look for Huaxin, but there was a problem on the way to find it, when they flew in the sky, the souls of the ancient sea creatures would interfere with it, and Fang Tianmu found that only when looking at the sky from the ground, the silver-white lines of the heavenly aurora had a certain regularity, and he couldn't find the right way to the sky, so everyone fell back to the ground and went on foot to find the destination.
Everyone is a cultivator, and their ability to withstand hunger is much stronger, but the old man Reheman is different, his food has long been eaten, even if he can be hydrated by these miraculous "sea water" at night, but at most it can last for five or six days, but what everyone never expected is that that night, the old man Reheman died suddenly.
The old man walked very peacefully, maybe for so long, finding this sea was his only faith, maybe many years ago he was able to survive from the desert, and after all his luck, he had long since become a loner, without any attachment. When he fell to his knees again, he whispered the old phrase "Gollum does not match", which means long sleep and wishes, and closed his eyes forever in this sea of dream-like miracles.
The group could not accept the old man's departure for a while, and did not move forward for a long time, so they stayed where they were, intending to continue the next day, but the soil and rocks under their feet were wet and soft, and they could not dig a pit, so they waited until the sun appeared the next day, and the souls of the ocean and ancient creatures disappeared in an instant, and the earth and stones turned back into the desert, and everyone dug a deep pit in the sand and buried the old man in it.
The scorching sun during the day almost dried everyone into jerky, and then came up with a way, Huzi changed the gravity of the sand, so that it forcibly gathered together to form sand blocks, and then hollowed it out, creating an underground space, after everyone got in, and then covered a piece of sand, and suddenly became much more refreshing, but after a while, the men had to go out to clean up the sand, because the sandstorm was constant, and the sand pit they were sitting in had been buried.
After waiting for a day, when night fell, the sea of legends came to the world again, or those ancient sea creatures that were alive and well, and the sky was still hanging aurora, and the bell suddenly shouted, so that everyone hurriedly looked in one direction. When everyone looked over, they found that the old man Reheman, who had passed away yesterday, was swimming in the sea, and his dead soul had become a part of this sea of miracles.
Huzi said: "As long as you die here, your soul will be sealed here." ”
Mu Ziyun smiled: "Maybe so, but I think he is willing." ”
Fang Tianmu was still on the road ahead, and when he reached the middle of the night, Fang Tianmu stopped and said to the people around him: "This is a flower, with a center." ”
"Where?"
"Ahead, far away."
After walking for three nights, they felt that they were about to get close to the center of the ocean, but in fact there was still a very long distance, and the sea was too big for everyone to endure sooner or later.
Wang Dong also made an experiment on this day, because the existence form of this sea is very similar to spiritual power, so he tried to interfere with the souls of ancient sea creatures through his spiritual power. The result is gratifying, it does have an effect, and the king Dongze told everyone the deeper secret, these visible souls may not be real souls, but an illusion similar to the effect of spiritual power, as for why our body is replenished with water at night, it should also be similar to the hypnosis of the human body by this strange technique of spiritual power, and everyone's body is likely to be seriously dehydrated, but it is just undetectable.
"Look" Bell has been paying attention to the old man's ghost, and found that the old man has been circling around everyone, and now he has begun to have an expression.
Zhen Wang Dong rolled his eyes, and then immediately used his spiritual power to interfere with the old man's dead soul, and found that it didn't have much effect, Zhen Wang Dong was even more sure: "This sea, only the old man, the real dead soul, from his current perspective, this is a dead sea, there are no living beings, only the sea water and himself." ”
Fang Tianmu said coldly: "Get rid of the creatures and follow me." ”
Zhuan Wang Dong immediately opened his spiritual power, and the souls of those ancient creatures began to collapse under this effect, and some even began to distort and deform directly, and even re-revealed the appearance of sand in some places, and sure enough, this sea was very greasy. And the sea water above his head was also peeled off by Wang Dong, so that even if everyone flew, Fang Tianmu could see the correct direction clearly, as long as he left the ground, everyone's speed was hundreds of times faster, and it only took one night to reach the center of the Heavenly Aurora.
Fang Tianmu saw the heavenly aurora falling from the sky, converging into a vertical faint river of light here, gradually falling to the ground, the further down he went, the brighter and thinner the brightness and width of the light became. Directly below the center of the Aurora is the source, which is strange to say, a mermaid playing a flute. Zhu Wangdong said: "That's right, that kind of power comes from the flute of that living being, and this ocean and those living beings are all virtual images created by it. ”
"It's so beautiful." The kite couldn't help but praise.
"It's also very sad" Wang Dong's eyes suddenly fogged, and he choked up: "I can feel its sadness and loneliness, this is a long heartache." ”
"How can this be?" asked Du Xiaoyue. Everyone was puzzled for a while, at this time, Wang Xu spoke, he stared at the creature, as if he had pity, he said: "Remember the origin of the desert that the old man said, meteors fell from the sky, the water of the entire sea evaporated, the sea became the earth, and then it became a desert, in that case all living things will die, this guy may be the only one who survived." ”
Du Xiaoyue looked at the mermaid and said quietly: "It's like the emperor of the ocean, it used to be a god in the sea, the sea is gone, but it is guarding between the bones of countless creatures, is it tens of thousands of years?" ”
I don't know who took a deep breath and sighed: "That must be the most beautiful sea." The eyes of everyone looking at the mermaid suddenly softened, and they wanted to take a step forward to wake up its dream, but they were afraid that the loneliness hidden under the self-deception would completely explode.
"Don't think about it so much, go ask it." After Huzi finished speaking, he stepped forward, everyone didn't have time to stop, they saw him chatting with the mermaid, a group of people hurriedly came over, after the mermaid saw the creature, it seemed to be an accident, and it seemed to have been waiting for a long time, it put down the flute in its hand, and the sea suddenly disappeared, and all the creatures were gone, only the heavenly aurora above the head was still there. The novelty is no longer strange, and the merfolk also understand the human language.
In fact, everyone has already guessed the approximate appearance, but the time is much longer than everyone imagined, it is not the story of tens of thousands of years ago, but even millions of years ago, a certain big ghost god fell, smashed into this ocean, all living beings died in an instant, only the elf of the ocean, it can also be said to be the guardian god - the mermaid survived, the mermaid originally had more than one, they used their divine power to make the sea reappear, but the living beings were no longer there, this sea became the Dead Sea, and the patron saint of the living beings was lost, The mermaid lost the source of energy and fell one after another, and later, the mermaid ancestors resorted to witchcraft and sorcery at the expense of all the guardian gods, so that a little mermaid gained immortality, which was the one everyone saw in front of their eyes.
And the ocean has completely dried up, turned into a desert, the little mermaid is alone in place, too lonely, it uses magic to create a sea according to memory, the night of the world is heavy and yang, it can awaken those who have not gone to the ocean souls, but thousands of years, all the souls have been reincarnated, the little mermaid had to create a virtual image, deceive and paralyze themselves, it is not the first time to meet the living beings, as long as you can find it, you will not be harmed, it is the guardian spirit of the lineage, so it is the good god of the world.
"It's hard, isn't it?" The kite's words reached his throat and swallowed again, no one could imagine what this little guy had endured for millions of years, and he was still smiling, so everyone didn't need to say much, they had to be happy with it, and they were no longer qualified to talk about anything else.
Mu Ziyun finally asked about the story, and the mermaid happily asked everyone to come to its side, and it wanted to give everyone a story that was told to it by the elders millions of years ago and asked the clan to pass it on from generation to generation, the name of the story is called "Talking City". The crowd sat cross-legged in front of the ancient god and listened to the story with relish.
The content of the story may be very ordinary, without any suspense and fancy, and it is far less touching than the legend of the mermaid itself, but everyone obediently listened to it word for word. The old god, still like a child, wiped his mouth excitedly and laughed when he finished speaking.
