Chapter 188: Mirage
It didn't take long for the sky to become clearer. But the light was still a little dim, and it seemed that Tiangong was also a little melancholy. For those who practice, this environment is also one of the places where they can communicate with the heavens.
Heaven is an interesting term. It refers to both the sky and the time. For example, two days a day, yesterday, today and tomorrow, and spring and summer. There are too many subtle words, and many interesting words seem to have been reflected in the depths of people's consciousness, all of which agree that there is a cosmic consciousness in the sky, and this cosmic consciousness has always affected people's consciousness. Not only that, but this heavenly cosmic consciousness is like a huge repository of information for those who have calmed down and devoted themselves to cultivation to gain wisdom. To give a few simple examples, one can discern the direction of the earth by looking at the constellations in the sky. To complicate matters further, there are a few people who can predict things through changes in astrological signs, the so-called astrology.
It's just that not everyone can read the information that comes from the cosmic consciousness. So once it gets dark, most people see only darkness, some people see the starry sky, and only a few people can see the stars. In the end, the secrets in the sky were hidden by the darkness, and there were occasionally a few people who practiced silently who could use the right method to uncover the chaos and mystery in the sky and gain insight into the secret truth of the cosmic consciousness.
Therefore, Kiki worked tirelessly to climb to the top of the mountain and came to a place that was relatively closer to the sky. She believed that when she revisited the Streamer Valley today, climbing to the top of the mountain she had come to in her memory, she heard the call of some voice deep in her heart, and this voice was a little ancient, but it had always been here. If the island had life and its own consciousness, perhaps the sound was made by it.
Looking at the sky, there is nothing on the surface. In fact, every cloud, every shape of the cloud, every bird, every direction the bird flies...... If it is seen by you, it may be because it is fate with you. It's just that people are more concerned about some kind of encounter that is more fleeting. Like a meteor streaked across the sky, the light is so brilliant that people don't have time to praise, pierce the sky and disappear without a trace. I feel that seeing a meteor that flashes briefly is fate, and I don't cherish the fate of seeing a certain cloud or a piece of colorful light.
At this time, the sky is not clear, giving people a foggy and vague feeling. It's deeper than the blue color on a sunny day. There is no excessive exuberance on a sunny day, nor is there an exaggerated melancholy on a cloudy day. This should also be the state of mind that cultivators often need, if heaven can be like this, people can also be like this, and if heaven and man empathize with each other, then heaven and man can be one.
I don't know if it's a hallucination, or if it's just another dream. The scenery in the sky changed, which surprised Kiki, who had been looking up at the sky. What appeared in the sky?
If others see it, they will think that it is called a mirage. An illusion in which the density of the air is uneven and causes the refraction of light and shadow.
But that's not what Kiki knew. Occasionally, cosmic consciousness will communicate with a small number of people who are destined to do so, just because the level of human consciousness is too low to comprehend the language or most of the intentions of cosmic consciousness. Therefore, cosmic consciousness can only create an illusion so that human beings, who are more dependent on visual cognition of the world, can understand a little more meaning. In this way, the efficiency of communication will be improved, especially for the expression of information that is staggered in time and space. For example, a look back at the ancient past, or a future story played and rehearsed in advance.
I saw a dynamic picture of stormy seas, lightning and thunder, and wind and rain in the sky. The light was gloomy, and the dark clouds were rolling, a sight of a raging sea. Black waves crash against the world, like a mad demon trying to tear everything apart, and it's a complete picture of a sea scene of super bad weather.
Suddenly, a huge wave exploded in the center of the picture, and a huge black sea beast gushed out from the same position at the same moment. The huge fangs are terrifying, and the whole body looks like an oversized bobbit. Its whole body shone with a black light, and it was as chilling as if it was covered in black oil.
There are many small bright spots on the screen, and the body of the giant insect is densely packed and lit up one after another. What is that? It's like a lot of small firecrackers, beckoning huge bugs without pain or itching. It's like a little flea that tickles a bug, it doesn't do anything.
The giant insect twisted its body slightly, and the sea water dispersed a large wave with great force, spreading out radially to the surroundings, and the momentum was surging. You can faintly see other fish creatures that have been photographed in the waves, and these creatures are almost invisible compared to giant insects.
However, it didn't take long to find that these dense schools of fish surrounded by giant insects suddenly scattered and retreated. It was as if he had received an order to retreat, and he disappeared all at once.
Is this cosmic consciousness describing a sea battle? Or is it some kind of revelation and gift from God to those who are destined? A sign of danger from another dimension of time.
At this moment, a huge white lightning bolt struck the giant insect right on its head. Like a giant sword stabbing at a giant worm. The giant insect did not struggle too much, and after a few shakings, it fell into the sea and sank to the bottom of the sea. Then there was a huge wave, which first dispersed to the surrounding area, and then turned back to converge towards the center. It's like coming back to cover the traces, and collecting those stories again. Then the sea, as if conscious, was swaying proudly as it devoured a giant worm......
The illusion in the sky gradually faded away, returning to the sky as if nothing had happened.
How much mystery does the world still have when many illusions appear in succession until people are accustomed and numb? At this time, Kiki vaguely felt that the curiosity before going to the island had disappeared. After all, he must have stood on the top of the island, come to the end of the old dream, and also enter the starting point of the next journey.
Following the path she had come, Kiki headed back. Standing on a high place, she could see the golden sunflower sea below the mountain again, and she could see the streamer valley in the distance.
According to the time of the bloom of the sunflower sea, the climate on the surface of this land should be autumn, right? At this time, it began to rain lightly. But it doesn't matter, the delicate sea of flowers and the magnificent valley are once again covered in mist and rain. It's like a sleepy elf, putting on a blanket and getting ready to sleep.
The girl in the memory, An An, should have also hid back at home. Or sleep quietly, or lean on the windowsill and watch the rain. Humming an innocent nursery rhyme in a small heart, accompanied by the flowing rain to send away the fallen leaves of the land. Pieces of fallen leaves in the distance, like small notes, play an ancient tune, melodiously drifting into the distance, taking away another period of melancholy and mystery......
At this time, Kiki was still walking in the rain. Relative to the temperature of the sea, the rain on land is warm. So her mood wasn't too bad, and getting wet in the rain was still some kind of enjoyment. But she no longer belongs to the land, the sea is her home. She must return to the sea and continue to fulfill her mission.
Although she knew that this small piece of land was safer and calmer than the sea at this time, she also knew that in the midst of the changing seasons, after the autumn, she would gradually enter the cold winter......
