Chapter 7: The Father-in-law
As if the surrounding area was the darkness before the opening of the world, the only color was black, without the slightest light, Zhao Qing walked alone in the endless darkness. This dark void seemed to be endlessly vast, and Zhao Qing didn't know how long he had walked, although there was no light, there seemed to be a pair of big hands in the dark guiding Zhao Qing to walk in one direction. No one told him what direction it was, but Zhao Qing felt that it was the north, and in the dark north, there was an irresistible familiar aura
Suddenly, the surrounding space was distorted and deformed, and Zhao Qing seemed to be pulled out of that black space by an irresistible force all of a sudden, and was sent into a huge channel with flashing lights. The wind was howling in his ears, Zhao Qing could barely open his eyes, and vaguely saw a light rising at the other end of the far, far away, and his entire body was uncontrollably pushed forward, from slow to fast, and then almost turned into a straight light, whistling away.
Time seems to have been frozen, Zhao Qing's current speed can be described as comparable to a streamer, and it is thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye, but the place where the white light rises is still in the unreachable distance.
After another long time, the colorful streamers around Zhao Qing began to become extremely brilliant, setting off Zhao Qing's figure like a dazzling star. Infected by the light on Zhao Qing's body, some blurry pictures began to appear on the entire colorful passage wall. Zhao Qing didn't use his eyes to see it, but these images still came into his eyes clearly.
In the haze, he saw a giant standing up to the sky, holding a huge divine axe, in the endless starry void with a majestic cry of mountains and rivers, the divine axe was full of light, slashing at the void, instantly separating the endless chaotic aura, the clear qi rose, and the turbid qi sank
As soon as the picture turned, it was still in the endless starry void, and the giant holding the axe was fighting with several vague figures at this time, and the roar of the two sides seemed to shatter the heaven and earth, and the inspired aura directly cut through the chaotic space, and all the stars were trembling with the battle between the two sides. Behind the Divine Axe Giant, there is a light blue planet slowly rotating, the surface of the planet is in four directions, green, red, white, black, four huge divine rays that penetrate the sky and earth are attracted from the depths of the distant stars, firmly fixing this blue planet, and all the energy storms are blocked from the encirclement formed by the four-color divine light
Before I saw the result of this battle, the picture turned again, and the giant would be standing alone on a vast wasteland, laughing desolate at the sky, the laughter was mixed with unspeakable sadness, helpless, the vicissitudes of life rolled in, and seemed to penetrate deep into Zhao Qing's heart. I saw that the giant's body began to emit all the light, and at that moment the whole world was illuminated by the light he emitted, and the light became more and more abundant, and finally the giant's figure slowly merged into the incomparably dazzling light. Flourishing and declining, when the brilliance of the light reached a limit, it suddenly shattered, turning into countless small divine lights that merged into the heavens and the earth, and there was light flickering in almost every corner. A moment later, thick clouds rolled high in the sky, and the weather phenomenon of lightning and thunder began to appear, and countless thick electric lights shone on the heavens and the earth. The originally desolate land suddenly began to tremble violently, towering mountains rose from the ground, and rushing and roaring rivers appeared one after another
Day and night began to alternate, the seasons began to change, and I don't know how many years passed, all kinds of ancient creatures began to appear on the originally silent land, birds, animals, flowers, grasses, insects, fish, and even more, with the beast body and demon spirit as the foundation of the Dao, began to comprehend the mysteries of the Supreme Heavenly Dao, and finally cultivated into a great supernatural power. As a result, this ancient land began to become constantly disputed, and countless demons who had achieved cultivation fought fiercely, the heavens and the earth cracked, the mountains and rivers flowed backwards, and this land was about to be destroyed.
At this time, the giant who opened the world appeared again, and the giant couldn't help but be furious when he saw the destruction of the world he had worked so hard to open up. Then he used the supreme supernatural power to divide this origin heaven and earth into three realms, and the three realms were named after heaven, earth and man. Since most of those demons who had achieved cultivation were ancient xenomorphic spirit beasts, the giants did not kill all these creatures that almost broke into a catastrophe, but only opened up six smaller reading spaces outside of the three sessions, which were called the Six Paths. Seal these powerful demons into those six unique spaces.
After doing this, the giant found a pair of kind-hearted snake demons named Fuxi and Nuwa, passed on their unpredictable magical powers, and ordered them to create a relatively weak creature suitable for survival in the human world, and after setting some rules for the operation of the Three Realms and Six Realms, the giant began to fall into an endless sleep.
After the giant fell asleep, the pair of snake demons named Fuxi and Nuwa, after comprehending the way of heaven and using supreme supernatural powers to create a creature called "human" with reference to the rules of nature, also fell into a long sleep, and then the world began to develop slowly.
Those dazzling and magnificent pictures became more and more blurry here, and gradually became unclear, Zhao Qing's heart was shocked, and he said secretly: "It turns out that the legend of the great god Pangu who opened the world and created people after Emperor Xiwa turned out to be true. Without waiting for Zhao Qing to do more other thoughts, he saw a sudden explosion of angry thunder in front of him, and a stream of blood light rushed straight forward, hitting Zhao Qing in an instant.
Zhao Qing seemed to have fallen into a blood-colored world, the sky and the earth were all scarlet and bright red, and Zhao Qing was suddenly horrified to find that the place he was in was that small village. It's just that the quiet in the village is a little scary, Zhao Qing trotted all the way to the door of his house, but found that he couldn't open the door of the yard. Zhao Qing called out to his father and mother loudly, but except for a dull echo, no one answered him at all.
A terrible scream suddenly sounded at the entrance of the village, cutting through the dead silence and piercing Zhao Qing's ears hard. At this time, the originally dim sky suddenly began to rain, but it was a rain of blood, bright red rain, no, it should be blood. The sudden rain of blood, coupled with the screams that had just come from the direction of the village entrance, made Zhao Qing frightened for a while, and he instinctively rushed towards the village entrance.
It's the group of horse bandits again, it's still that picture, as the horse bandits raise and fall with their knives, countless blood gushes out, and the villagers fall in a pool of blood one after another, which is a hell on earth. Suddenly, Zhao Qing's pupils searched, and he saw his parents pulling his mother out of the encirclement and running in his direction.
"Dad, mother!" Zhao Qing couldn't help shouting, but halfway through the shouting stopped abruptly, a cold knife suddenly rose from the back of Zhao Laosi's neck, and the next moment, Zhao Laosi's head flew up with a fountain of blood.
"No" Zhao Qing shouted heartbreakingly, as if to meet his shout, only to see another bloody light, Zhao Qing's mother also fell to the ground, and the blood in her chest flowed all over the ground.
"Mother" Zhao Qing wanted to rush forward, but there seemed to be an irresistible force behind him grabbing his body, making him unable to take a step forward. Zhao Qing's hands and feet danced wildly trying to break free from the power behind him, he was about to rush forward to hug his father's corpse, and two lines of tears had already slid down his cheeks.
Zhao Qing clearly saw that the tears he shed also turned into bright red blood tears at that moment, and then, Zhao Qing was pushed behind his back, and he fell into endless darkness again
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Qing woke up faintly, and slowly came into view of a white tent roof, and he was lying on a small bed covered with animal skins, covered with a warm quilt. Zhao Qing rubbed his slightly sour eyes, sat up slowly, and carefully looked at this strange place. Not far from the left side of his bed is a rectangular table, there is almost a large map spread on the table, there is a red carpet in front of the table, there are five chairs on each side of the carpet, and there is a row of weapons behind the chairs, Zhao Qing counted it, there are eighteen different weapons on both sides, some are long and some are short, swords, guns, swords, halberds and sticks are different, this tent is quite large, and there are so many things discharged, I still feel very spacious.
At this time, the curtain hanging down from the tent was lifted by a hand, and a slightly dazzling sunlight projected in, Zhao Qing couldn't help but close his eyes and turn around to dodge.
"Hey, kid, are you awake?" Before he could turn around, a deep, but somewhat familiar voice came into his ears.
Zhao Qing looked at it, but it was a middle-aged man wearing armor and looking mighty. In the time before he fell into a coma, Zhao Qing had seen those soldiers treat this man very respectfully, and he thought that among the soldiers, this man's status was not low.
This middle-aged man is General Jin Cheng, Jin Cheng saw Zhao Qing wake up, his face couldn't help but show a happy smile, three steps and two steps to Zhao Qing's bed, and asked kindly: "Child, you have been in a coma for several days, is there anything uncomfortable on your body now?"
"Have I been in a coma for several days?Uncle, what kind of place is this?" Zhao Qing glanced around and asked puzzled.
Jin Cheng smiled and said: "This is my uncle's barracks, you have been in a coma for three whole days, but the uncles are frightened, you haven't eaten anything, now you are hungry or not, if you are hungry, your uncle will immediately ask someone to bring you food." ”
A exhausted child was in a coma for three whole days, and it was false to say that he was not hungry, but Zhao Qing didn't feel much of hunger originally, but when Jin Cheng mentioned it, he felt that his stomach was empty and uncomfortable, and he just nodded at the moment.
Suddenly, Zhao Qing seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Uncle, what about my father?"
Jin Cheng sighed, touched Zhao Qing's head with his hand, and said, "Child, don't be too sad, people can't be resurrected after death, uncle, I have already asked my subordinates to bury your parents and all the villagers in the village, and there will be a chance for my uncle to go with you to worship them in the future." ”
Zhao Qing lowered his head deeply, he didn't speak for a long time, Jin Cheng just looked at him, and didn't say anything to comfort him, this is a hurdle, you have to rely on yourself to resist it.
After a long time, Zhao Qing slowly raised his head, a hint of brightness appeared in his eyes, as if he let go all of a sudden, and said: "Uncle I will, I will live well, for myself and for my father, I must be a big man like my uncle when I grow up, uncle, can you teach me skills." ”
Jin Cheng's face was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but show joy, although Zhao Qing was still young, the patience and perseverance in his bones were rare and mature. Picking up Zhao Qing and putting it on his shoulder, Jingcheng laughed and said, "Haha, uncle promises you, uncle will definitely hand over all your skills to you, you have to study hard." ”
Jin Cheng's kind aura had completely touched Zhao Qing's young heart that had just been wounded, and unconsciously, Zhao Qing had actually regarded him as the only person he could trust in this world. Zhao Qing firmly grasped Jin Cheng's armor and giggled.
"Son, uncle doesn't know your name yet, can you tell uncle?" Jin Cheng asked.
"My name is Zhao Qing, uncle, what is your name?" Zhao Qing also asked curiously.
"Uncle's surname is Jin, a single name is a word, and my uncle has no children under his knees, how about my uncle as your stepfather in the future, would you like it?"
"Okay, okay, then my uncle will buy me a lot of fun things in the future, and he will teach me very good skills."
"Haha, it's easy, but do you still call me uncle?"
"Father-in-law!" Zhao Qing, who was sitting on his shoulder, suddenly called sweetly.
Jin Cheng grabbed Zhao Qing excitedly, turned around in place a few times, and made Zhao Qing laugh, and then opened the curtain of the tent and said, "Okay, father-in-law, I'll take you out to see the fun things outside." ”
