Chapter 35: Ember Sumeru

Some kind of call from the desolate ancients throbbed in the darkness, and Lu Xuan's consciousness seemed to return to that cold winter night.

The cold wind on the eternal ice field tore through everything on the ground like a knife, and the piercing howl was like the mournful wail of the undead, making people feel chills all over the body just by listening to it.

The faint moonlight was obscured by heavy dark clouds, giving it a lifeless atmosphere. It seems that all life in heaven and earth has disappeared, leaving only endless ice, snow and hurricanes.

However, in such an environment, a little boy climbed into a shallow ice cave out of breath.

The little boy was purple from the cold, but he forcibly summoned his spirit to urge his true qi to work, trying to keep the invading cold out of his body.

However, as soon as he climbed into the ice cave, he noticed that there was something unusual in the cave.

The ice cave was filled with the smell of blood, and the smell was full of incomparable wildness, as if it was some kind of divine beast galloping in the primeval wilderness, vertical and horizontal, uninhibited!

At the same time, a low whimper suddenly came from a corner of the cave, as if magma was boiling and could explode at any moment.

Only then did the boy notice that there was a fierce beast cowering in the corner, this beast was bright-eyed, burly, covered with long silver fur like ice and snow, and the wisps of cold air formed a mist visible to the naked eye around its body.

The boy looked so small in front of it, and the feeling of oppression on his face made the boy's face change slightly.

"Polar frost wolf? Such a physique should be a wolf king. The boy sighed in surprise as he sighed at his frozen hands. Then his gaze gradually moved down from the proud eyes of the polar frost wolf, and finally rested on the chest that was still gurgling and bleeding, the big hole in the mouth of the bowl was bottomless, showing a terrifying blood red, and the originally extremely beautiful hair was soaked in, and the scene was quite tragic.

The wolf king had apparently taken refuge here after a brutal battle, and had the misfortune to run into it. The boy thought blankly.

When the wolf king's eyes saw that the comer was a young boy, the warning sound in his throat came to an abrupt end, and his eyes showed a rather human expression. Just as the boy was about to withdraw, the wolf king suddenly called anxiously.

The little boy paused.

The wolf king raised his head slightly and gestured in a certain direction. The little boy looked in the direction it had indicated, and saw that in the deepest corner of the ice cave, a small body was huddled together, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep. It's a little girl! It's just that her tightly knit brow and flushed face show that things don't seem to be so simple.

"Such a small person actually came to this ice and snow." The little boy gently touched the little girl's forehead, and she didn't know that she was shocked when she touched it, her body temperature burned to such a terrifying level!

"Woo ......" a low voice mixed with supplication reached the little boy's ears, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the wolf king, only to see the wolf king lower his noble head, and it was prostrate on the ground, staring at the little girl anxiously.

"What do you mean? …… Are you trying to get me to take her away? The little boy asked tentatively.

"Woo......" The wolf king nodded.

"Now this little girl is burning badly, and the temperature outside is too low, if she continues to be exposed to such bad weather, I am afraid her life will be in danger. I'll spend the night in this cave tonight, and I'll take him with me tomorrow when the blizzard stops a bit. The little boy said this, looked solemnly at the wolf king, then at his body, and finally took out the quilt that he carried with him, which could only accommodate him alone.

Then he covered the quilt and picked a slightly flat ground to lie down and prepare to rest, but when his eyes looked at the little girl who couldn't help trembling again, compassion instantly took over the little heart.

Without hesitation, he went to lie down beside the little girl, and turned the rectangular quilt that could hold his whole body sideways, and although he would be frozen, the little girl would be in a much better position. At the same time, the little boy tried to make his arms squeeze the little girl's body, so as to avoid the dissipation of the heat, and to be able to use his body temperature to give the little girl the warmth necessary for survival.

And just as the little boy was about to fall asleep, the wolf king looked at the two children lying in a bed, and his eyes were extremely gentle. He tilted his head slightly, as if listening to something, and when he confirmed that there was nothing but the howl of the Tempest, a strange force came to the little boy's mind.

The next morning, the blizzard finally stopped, and when the little boy opened his eyes, the body of the wolf king was as hard as an ice sculpture.

……

Wait a minute! This feeling...... Lu Xuan's heart suddenly had a little more understanding. Isn't the understanding of the law that the wolf king dedicated to the last moments of his life to support his belief in living with the girl in the polar regions?

This most genuine realization is far more precious than the power gained by operating true qi.

[The world order is not created by any god or man, its past, present, and future will always be an eternal living fire, burning in a certain measure and extinguishing in a certain measure. 】

The origin of the world is nothing more than a living fire that is constantly generating and dying, and since man is created in the image of heaven, then the fire of man's origin is not the cosmology full of dialectical breath? Generativeism?

This internalized principle determines the generation or reversion of the world's movements, controls the rhythm of the development of things and the replacement of movement changes, so as to achieve the cyclical transformation between the origin and the phenomenal world.

If this is the way of heaven, then why is humanity not? As the most intuitive embodiment of the individual phenomenal world, the body plays an indispensable role in the mutual transformation with the fire of the source, it can be said that our body is the medium through which we consciously understand the fire of the source, if we can't directly communicate with the source, then why not try to communicate with our body?

Do you really know yourself?

Lu Xuan seems to have entered a state of complete selflessness, his thinking is no longer confined to a certain problem, but diverges to every corner and every cell of his body.

At first, his consciousness seemed to be walking in a thick fog, and he didn't see the light for a long time, and he didn't know how long it took, but he suddenly felt a sense of transparency through the clouds and mist to see the blue sky. I saw that not far away, a faint ray of fire was dying.

Lu Xuan, who was used to being confused, was so happy to see this change! He was enlightened, his heart was fasting, and he walked away, and he didn't know how long it would take, and the light of the fire seemed to be an ever-expanding point of light.

The feeling of cold outside the body was already as vague as a world away, and Lu Xuan finally arrived in front of that living fire!

Is this fire? Lu Xuan was extremely surprised, only to see that the flame was not ordinary, but there was an indescribable sense of silence, but this feeling was not pure, and there was a faint vigorous vitality brewing in it. This combination of dead silence and vitality is the ultimate contradiction of why this flame is a living fire!

That's the underlying logic behind me being me...... Lu Xuan stared at the Origin Fire stupidly, and his divine sense gradually walked into the living fire!

And Lu Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, and the appearance of two flames was deeply reflected in his eyes, and the fierce momentum made the golden light clusters floating around him fly around. He muttered: "When the living fire is small to a certain extent, then it is also when the fire of this endless origin emits the aura of Sumeru, which is the so-called transformation of yin and yang, and stands after breaking, it turns out to be this truth!" Then I'll name this flame, Ember Sumeru! ”
