Chapter 45: The Xuanniao Dynasty

Then the seeker's wings touched the end of the wind.

The vacuum windless zone that exists around Tai Chi rejects the blank flight of animals. The little man who pursues the unknown is forced to commit himself to the infinite void, allowing the wind to lift his wings and send his body away. It's just that the pair of wings still reflect the bright light, and continue to shine in the clear dark sky, like flying stars, shining brightly.

The glorious world, which had been reduced to line segments, dots, and countless abstract figures, was once again unreservedly revealed to him. He had seen the land, and the shadows on it, the dome that had been obscured from sight, and the piece of soil that had been on them that had continued to rise towards the dome beneath the dome.

Those who fall in the wind are as light as falling feathers.

The person standing at the top of the well could only look at a small spot in the distance, and as the whining wind continued to descend, it descended to a slightly lower interface than them, and was lifted up again by the wind.

The air suddenly calmed down dozens of meters, like an abyss that stood still. Compared to the upper or lower layers, the atmosphere seems to be torn and diluted by the material world.

Gazing at the butterfly-like dots in the distance, noticing the path of the wind, he pondered for a moment and then spoke:

"In the learning of our people, the earth is divided into layers. The atmosphere is also multi-layered...... The height of the hanging garden is tens of thousands of meters, and it has crossed three atmospheric levels, and its top is up, which is the beginning of the fourth level. ”

It was the cogwheel man who pushed the dust wall storm and wanted to touch the sun and moon ecliptic, and he didn't cross the discrete wind layer.

Above the discrete wind layer, they relied on what they presumed to be a super-large vortex wind layer with increased velocity.

Above the super-large vortex wind layer is a vacuum and immaterial zone that cannot be touched by any gas.

Now it has been confirmed.

The height of the discrete wind layer, the young people flying in the air lack the experience of overlooking and cannot be visually measured, but the preliminary estimate is at least tens of kilometers or more.

Even though it was hundreds of kilometers, he was not surprised.

The well is constructed to the end of the discrete wind layer, the beginning of the super-large vortex wind layer. The hanging garden is still beneath the discrete wind layer.

The wind would not allow him to fall easily, and the absence of wind would prevent him from being forced to rise into the sky.

The mighty wind swept through the central world like a whirlpool. The ubiquitous vortex leads people to dance in the air. The sun's rays are a deep purple color at the edge of the atmosphere, a sight that would never have been seen in the lives of animals that used to be entangled on the ground.

In the roaring atmosphere, those who wrestle with the wind have understood the changes around them, and have gradually become familiar with and tame the shining wings they have acquired,

The scales covered by the hands sense the slightest wind currents passing through the body.

He also breathed heavily at first, and eventually learned to breathe in a way that flew with only his nose. The lion's skin fluttered in the air, and the man puffed up, gently crossing a gap of hundreds of meters into the surface of the discrete wind layer. But it was only a moment before the young man took the initiative to fly into the whirlpool wind layer, echoing with the wind.

The atmosphere was so stagnant that it could barely hold up its wings. Even with bright wings, people seem to have nothing to rely on, and they are about to fall freely. If you want to rely on flying through, I am afraid that you will completely lose control of yourself, that is, you can't hope to fly away directly.

It is possible to use the two forces of the well and the wings to slowly descend from the whirlpool wind layer.

The young man had already made up his mind, so he flew in the direction of the chamber at the top of the well with the help of the wind current.

At that moment, Hatsuyun leaned out and stretched out his hand to him.

He took Hatsuun's hand and easily walked to the other side of the chamber, not knowing whether he was terrified or excitedly recounted what he had seen and heard in the air.

About the earth that encloses the sky, about the flattened and untidy elliptical shape of the world, about Tai Chi and the ecliptic.

Chu Yun listened quietly. Zai Yi touched the pinion machine, and many strange thoughts were being born in his mind. He didn't know if these thoughts were right, so he didn't dare to say them.

The pinion machine rested on the shoulder of the carrier and made several turns. A gust of wind poured into the chamber, pouring cold on all the people inside.

"Now is not the time to talk about that."

Chu Yun said.

The fiery heat of the young man calmed down a little:

"Yes, now is not the time to talk about that, we're going to go down. We can lean against the well and go down slowly, using the wings I have given as a buffer, and as soon as we approach the overhang, we will fly out and escape completely. It's already crazy here. ”

But Hatsuyun didn't move, but focused on the young man's face, as if he had something else to talk about. Realizing this, Zai Yan hesitantly closed the door, and the whirring wind was blocked out of the window, and the room was a little quieter.

Obviously, the wing room is closer to the sun than everything on earth, and the night here is the most gloomy. Zai had no choice but to turn on the lighting of the glass eye, and the light fell on the two of them, and the dazed young man noticed Chu Yun's strong gaze.

"What's wrong?"

The young man involuntarily began to check his appearance, and he thought that he must be dirty and messy by now. This dirty and messy state was maintained by him for a long time during the exile of Qiongqiu.

Chu Yunluo smiled generously, and she said:

"Our hair has grown, should we cut it?"

She said a question that the teenager did not expect.

Gu Chuan obviously wanted to refuse, but somehow, when the words came to his lips, he laughed:

"Yes, it's time to cut it."

At that time, Hatsuun wore clothes that were easy to move and had a lot of pockets, and he carried several knives with him, some sharp and some sluggish. She took out a sluggish knife and held it in her palm, signaling that it was a tool available:

"Whoa."

Jae-chan sat on the other side of the small table. Gu Chuan and Chu Yun were sitting on this side of the table. The two agreed on the practice in a few words. The man sat on a chair facing the door of the chamber, while the woman sat behind the man and gave him a haircut. At that time, Chu Yun's expression was focused, and he made a long strand of fluffy vines in the young man's hair with one hand, and then moved the knife in his hand. Gu Chuan blinked, and he heard a slight sound above his head, and then his hair slowly fell under his eyes.

The rocky windows reflected the faces of the people in the light, and the hair was tired on the dusty ground, but the first clouds remained silent. The silence seemed to be brewing words, and the sound of the wind outside, like the tide, intensified the uneasiness in the young man's heart. He spoke with an unusually blunt and dumbfounded voice:

"Chu Yun, do you have anything to say to me?"

Chu Yun said hesitantly:

"Chuan, you said we were leaving, is that so?"

"yes......"

"Then ......" In the reflection of the window, Chu Yun's eyes were gray, and she asked solemnly, "Believe in the Alien Dragon Mentor Celestial...... What should the allosaurs do? ”

The young man thought this was funny, after all, what did the dragons have to do with him? But as soon as he smiled a little and wanted to speak, he suddenly shuddered, remembering Chu Yun's pretense of the Celestial Mentor, and Chu Yun's contemplative and uneasy expression after hearing that he had instigated the Alien Dragon.

"You can't be serious, can you? ……”

No, if it was Hatsukumo, who had ventured to infiltrate the dungeons of Sunset City, her seriousness would be extraordinary.

The young man waited coldly for Hatsukumo's answer.

But Hatsuyun didn't speak.

This silence is the wordless answer.

Suddenly, fierce emotions rushed over the young man's brain, and he defended almost in a panic:

"I just took advantage of them, and they just took advantage of me...... I am an introducer, and the flame has long been in their hearts...... My disappearance is like death to them, it doesn't matter. Also, they should choose their own path. If a person's actions are made by themselves, how can they be pretended to be guided by others? And, and ......"

After saying that, he thought of a new answer:

"They're not the same as us, we're not responsible for each other, we're in two worlds. What they want to pursue, they can only rely on themselves. ”

"But......" Hatsukumo's face turned pale, and he finally spoke, "we are not different, we are all animals that have undergone some kind of change, and we may be animals that are more deeply connected in history. ”

The young man woke up like a dream, and his hands and feet were cold. He finally knew what the Black Elder Dragon had said to Chu Yun through the mouth of the elder.

This is the theory of the Black Elder Dragon.

"Not true. We have nothing to do with here, 10,000 or a thousand miles away. And, we are the most innocent victims of Hanging Garden and Qiongqiu. Here, even babies are not innocent, because when they were born, they already enjoyed the love of birth and nurturing given by the Hanging Nursery and Qiongqiu. But we are not, as soon as we arrive here, we only eat a few mouthfuls of grass that we are born with, and we are immediately swept into the whirlpool of life and death, and we are forced to survive in a desperate situation! ”

He retorted excitedly.

The young man's body trembled, but Hatsuyun's hand was still steady, and he didn't cut out a single excess hair. Her hand pressed against the young man's lion-skinned shoulder, and then, tears fell from the sky and wet the lion's fur on the young man's shoulder.

The tears that flowed down this face were meanings that young people could not imagine.

It was as if he had never seen Chu Yun cry.

"You think you should help them, don't you?"

"Yes, no matter what," replied Hatsukumo at that time, with a beautiful nose, firm and solemn, "it is indeed we who have promised them freedom and struggle." I don't want to be deceived, I promise that I can't be deceived, or I ...... No promises. So, stay, okay? ”

The young man's brain went blank. He almost wanted to answer and stayed.

But then, he felt empty. He stared stunned at his own face reflected in the window, and he suddenly felt a spasmodic nausea in front of this face. It was a man who had eaten a talking animal, and he suddenly remembered that, and what he had heard Mr. Eggball say at that time. The dead creature wanted him to move on. Then, all the dreams, expectations and joys of the past spread from the bottom of his heart like boiling steam along with the sound of the wind and water.

"I have a dream."

He said.

"And the way forward is already in sight...... I can already see ahead...... Animals are entangled in the ground for a long time...... And I, and I...... Maybe I have touched a new imagination that you and I once shared. There's no way I'm going to give up! "What's more, every moment, there is a probability that I will die of illness.

At this point, he was silent for a long time before speaking coldly in a powerless voice:

"I can't stay, Hatsuun."

"It's okay...... You don't have to worry. We lied, and I will lie. The current situation is that I am the Celestial Mentor in the eyes of the dragons......"

Hatsuun's movements were especially gentle at that time, and she gently stirred the young man's scalp to make the young man feel comfortable. But her voice was clear and clear, as if she had foreseen everything, and that everything that was in place was nothing more than some known cutscene, which made the young man shudder:

"What do you want to do?"

He heard her words with a majesty that could not be refused:

"I'll be left alone."

She paused, then earnestly continued:

"I'll come back to you when it's over. When the time comes......"

Hatsuyun didn't finish. The young man shook his head violently and said in a loud voice:

"If you can't find it, you may never see each other again."

The carrier on one side hugged the pinion machine tightly and silently lowered his head. Both the boy and the lion were aware of the existence of something possible.

"Remember the stone we found in the city of Answers, where things were hidden?"

He said.

"Two lines written on it in Sunset City's language."

The first line says children, do you think you've fled?

The second line says that no one can escape this land, never.

He said:

"I thought those two lines had nothing to do with us, but at the time of the Netherfire, you know, I was exploring the ground. Inside the ground, there is a fossil and amber. The corpse of the creature hidden deep inside the amber was something I recognized as a glowworm. The glowworm is the worm next to the glowing silk thread that we see when we are looking for it in the basement of Sunset City. Now, we're on the well. The well is ...... Gear man's ground well. Zaiyi, with a glass book and the surface of the well to engrave the lettering, the content corresponds to each other, thus cracking the new language here, I'm afraid Jing Yu has already thought of it. The time of this world travels according to the inward curl of the curve. I don't know what that looks like...... But I know that if we have a large-scale geographical movement, there will be risks that we will not see. ”

The space on the inside of the shell is not the same as the space on the surface side of the sphere. If time is bent in some way, then this world must be bent in a different way from the original world of young people.

Absurd thinking couldn't help but occupy his brain.

"It is very likely that this day from sunset to sunset for the second time is a thorough journey for all things in this world!"

When he said this, he stopped abruptly, his head hanging down, and his throat was extremely uncomfortable.

He couldn't say anything more, and sat motionless in his seat.

The cogwheel man looked at their silence and opened his mouth to say something, but the indescribable exhaustion on his body made him just move his mouth wordlessly.

He closed his mouth and remained silent, so that the only thing left in the room was the thin sound of his hair being cut.

The slender and soft hand still silently shuttled between the young man's hair, and occasionally, cold fingers would touch the young man's hot skull, and the young man felt the existence of the life he knew with great precision in the highest air.

But she never said a word, silent as a statue, and only said at the end:

"I'm done, it's your place."

Instead of cutting a clean bald head, she only cut it to a suitable, intermediate, short position. The young man brushed off his hair, took the sluggish knife, and stood up in silence.

Hatsuun then sat down forward, and he came behind Hatsuun and saw Hatsuun's head wrapped in abundant green silk. At that time, he wondered for no reason whether Hatsuyun would be aware of some kind of temporal risk earlier than him.

But the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't get out of some kind of feeling that was stirring in his heart, and this feeling made him almost unable to do anything. So he forced himself to forget, he took a deep breath, and then poured all his attention into the knife in his hand. Zai Yan was surprised to find that the young man's expression at this time was the same as that of Chu Yun just now.

And a pair of hands holding a knife danced in the hair, and the black hair broke off with the body one after another, gradually flying into the past time. His heavy hair was tired on Hatsuyun's knees, but Hatsuyun seemed to have become mute, and he didn't say anything, just stared at the sun in the distance.

The time of the past, and the time of the future, all point to an endless end.

If all the time exists forever, then all the time cannot be recovered.

At that time, the young man was also not cut off, but left on the length he remembered for the first time.

"Let's go."

The young man handed back the blade and said casually.

Hatsuun's beautiful long eyelashes opened up slightly, she stood up, leaned against the side of the narrow compartment, and stretched out her hand to the young man, who stood up and grabbed Hatsuun's hand tightly with his left hand, and Hatsuyun also grabbed the young man's hand tightly. With the warmth of their palms, they knew that none of their thoughts had changed. The young man turned his head and silently extended his right hand to Zaiyi. Jae-sin grabbed his right hand worriedly.

The three of them leaned out of the door of the chamber one after another, leaning against the edge of the vast world.

The vertical and rough edges of the well almost wear away the skin. They came closest to the well by the gearmen of steel, and accidentally touched the well. Then the young man spread out his wings and made the wings that landed.

The great sun began to grow smaller again as they descended, and then the halo began to diverge around the sun, making the gloomy world slightly whiter.

The stupid little gear machine lay on the head of the canopy, staring at the thin sky and the earth, thinking that everyone was about to be free, and began to sing a little song of chirp.

The song follows the person through this discrete wind layer, gradually approaching the dome of the hanging garden. As we approached the overhanging garden, the wind regained its strength, and the young man's wings regained strength.

And Hatsuyun lowered his head. She leaned against the young man's warm back, looking down on the abyss of the scattered land beneath her. The flying land has caused panic in the Hanging Garden.

The purpose of the land along the well was not to attempt any other purpose, to directly impact the overhang.

The situation was urgent, and in the lonely sky, Chu Yun let go of his hand:

"That's it."

The young man heard the sound and let go of Hatsukumo's hand at the same time. In just a moment, the first clouds fluttered down like butterfly wings. The young man didn't want to look at Chu Yun again, pulling the canopy and flapping his wings, he wanted to flee into the distance. The little gear machine lying on Zai's head made a surprised sound, and he was disturbed by the sound, and turned his head in a trance, and saw that the sun had returned to the far reaches of heaven and earth, and the vast world was between darkness and light.

Under that round sun, the falling first clouds were as elegant as the starlight flowing from the sky.

Gu Chuan found that Chu Yun had been looking at him, and Chu Yun also found that Gu Chuan had finally turned his head. At that time, the girl showed an innocent smile, her lips moved slightly, and her gray eyes flashed with sincerity:

"Don't be afraid, you must ...... We'll definitely see you again! ”

She said loudly.

"Besides, how much more are we-"

There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor!

This is a little poem that you often recite about your hometown.

The crooked crescent moon flew away in the wind, and the little man held up by the wind had swung far into the world. The young man was still looking back, staring blankly at what was happening behind him.

The land that was lifted up along the well finally broke through the shackles of the well. The rumbling sound was mixed with some kind of shattered, devastated sound. The great and ancient creation finally came to an end in the collision of all things.

The falling bird exuded a stunningly beautiful brilliance, fearlessly crashing into the land that was about to bombard the Hanging Garden. The natural light bends around it, forming a brilliant halo.

The astonishing destructive power flashed half the sky, and the history of the Xuanyao Dynasty has written its first page today.

Until now, the young man finally knew the last mystery of Hatsuun. He couldn't help but remember the strange name that the boss of the caravan had told him at the beginningβ€”

"Annihilate the rules of heaven."

It's getting hotter and hotter all around them.

Facing the wind, he didn't look at the hanging garden in the distance, and the lion's gear man poked his head out in the blue darkness and saw that the once cheerful morning light gradually returned to the glorious position of the clouds.

The pale and deep sky resembles the shallows of a great river.

All around are the fading threads of the stars.

The boat, he thought, had already arrived.
