XXXIX. The Blue Core of Despair
Lan Xin watched Xia Yulong being dragged into the crystal ball by his claws covered with red scales, she had nothing to do but cry, this crystal ball was only the size of a fist, and it could easily accommodate a person......
Lan Xin was amazed, but he felt that it was reasonable, this crystal ball was a cosmic Rubik's cube, and it could fit the entire universe, not to mention a small person?
In the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Xia Yulong undoubtedly went to another world, and he was suddenly absent, which made Lan Xin at a loss, she looked at the Cosmic Cube that fell on the grass from a distance and did not dare to approach, at this moment she was frightened, helpless, and even more sad and dazed.
Thinking of Xia Yulong's uncertain life and death, and thinking that he would be alone in the future to face everything in the future, Lan Xin's nose was sour, and he sat on the grass with his hands folded and sobbed in a low voice.
The three wolves wailed for a while at the full moon in the west, and then they surrounded the blue core, stretched out their tongues and licked the arms and face of the blue core, and the blue core hugged the three wolves and cried into tears, just like a mother crying with her three children who suddenly lost their father, it was so sad, how should the days go on?
After a while, Lan Xin cheered up from his sadness, and thought, why not go with Brother Yulong, and say that they will share weal and woe together and wander the world together.
Lan Xin turned her eyes to look at the Cosmic Cube on the grass, the light in the Rubik's Cube had been extinguished, she got up and ran over, took the Cosmic Cube in her hand, looked over and over again, she raised the Cosmic Cube to the full moon, and looked inside, the ball was black and silent.
Lan Xin was even more stunned, and she cried, "How can this be? Brother Yulong is still inside, brother, come out quickly, you come out quickly, Xin'er can't live without his brother......"
The Cosmic Cube is still indifferent, and it has fallen into eternal darkness, like a dead universe without any life.
Lan Xin fell to her knees, looking at the huge and unusually white full moon hanging on the top of the Spirit Mountain, she fell into endless despair and pain.
The mournful crying lingered on the top of the spiritual mountain, and in this quiet moonlight, it was heartbreaking to hear......
Blue Core was grief-stricken and fainted on the grass, and three wolves came over to her and lay down beside her, quietly guarding her.
The next evening, Lan Xin was awakened by the cold of the night, she shivered, slowly opened her eyes full of tears, she seemed to think of something, and flipped the cosmic cube in her hand with anticipation.
The crystal ball was still lifeless, it was still dark inside, I don't know what happened to Brother Yulong inside, she was so sad that she couldn't help but burst into tears again.
The sadness in her heart turned into anger, and Blue Core shook and pounded vigorously on the ground, even roaring at it, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wake up the little light in the ball.
The night gradually sank, and the full moon jumped out of the mountains, as bright as last night.
Lan Xin held the crystal ball and walked slowly to the edge of the cliff, she was expressionless, looking at the bottomless cliff in front of her, thinking, grandpa and brother are gone, what does it mean for her to live alone in the world? Why don't you jump down and follow them......
The night wind struck, hitting her teary eyes with cold, cold coldness.
At this time, the three wolves were standing behind Blue Core and wailing at her, as if to remind her not to do anything stupid.
The wolf's cry pulled Blue Core back from her deep thought and sorrow, and she looked down to see that her feet were already on the edge of the cliff, and the cliff was at her feet, and if she took a small step forward, she would really fall.
Lan Xin hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at the three wolves, and wanted to say his final goodbye to them, but under the moonlight, he saw that the corners of the three wolves' eyes flashed with crystal tears......
The three of them were looking at Blue Core pitifully, just as a poor child looked at his mother who was going to be far from home.
Lan Xin couldn't bear it, and retreated from the edge of the cliff, she wanted to stay to protect them and revive the Lingshan wolf pack, as long as the Cosmic Cube was in Yulong's brother, she believed that Xia Yulong was an omnipotent hero, and death could not take his life, after all, one day he would be reborn and come out of this crystal ball.
Lan Xin came to the three wolves, kneaded their ears, wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that I will not be able to come back after jumping off the cliff?" Rest assured! I won't do anything stupid with you here, I will protect Lingshan and protect you well. ”
Lan Xin stretched out his index finger, pointed at the noses of the three wolves one by one, and said: "Although I am very afraid of wolves, you are different from other wolves, you are my family, you will follow me in the future, but listen to me, especially your ......"
Lan Xin's index finger pointed at Da Tianyi's forehead, "You are more naughty than the two of them, you are usually the most annoying one, every time you take the lead in stirring up trouble, you take the lead in howling I will not talk about it for the time being, I don't know where you got this crystal ball from, so that Brother Yulong was caught in the ball, you have to reflect on it in the future, although you are very naughty, but your ability is also greater than them, you are their eldest brother, they all listen to you, you must take your two little brothers in the future......"
Listening to Lan Xin's words, Da Tianyi's face was slightly sad, it let out a few "hum" sounds in its mouth, and two lines of tears overflowed from the corners of its eyes, as if it realized that it had broken into a big disaster, it obediently lay on the ground, waiting for Lan Xin's punishment at any time, Da Tianer and Da Tian San also followed the boss and lay down.
The three wolves lay motionless on the ground, all pricking up their ears to listen carefully to Lan Xin's words, and none of them dared to bite a word.
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, she is afraid of the well rope, Lan Xin has an unforgettable fear and hatred for the vicious wolf, but at this moment she has such great courage to approach the three wolves, open her heart to them face to face and say what is in her heart, and the feelings between them have become so delicate and real.
Lan Xin stood up straight, she looked at the vast night, and was thinking about how to go next, when she suddenly felt the crystal ball in her hand tremble slightly.
Before he could react, the crystal ball rolled to the ground, and the red light rekindled in the ball, but the crystal ball seemed to be expanded and compressed by an invisible internal and external force, and the kung fu crystal ball had expanded and contracted several times in the blink of an eye.
Lan Xin was surprised and delighted, and even more dumbfounded, she was full of anticipation, expecting Xia Yulong to escape from the crystal ball, and suddenly a thought flashed in her mind, is it that the hidden potential of Brother Yulong has exploded, is he about to break free from this small universe? Her heart was beating faster and she couldn't wait.
The crystal ball slowly rose into the air with rhythmic expansion and contraction, suspended in mid-air, the expansion of the internal force of the sphere was like a bamboo, and the compression of the external force seemed to have disappeared.
The crystal ball expanded rapidly, it was already the size of a house, and the vast nebula inside the ball was clearly visible, and Lan Xin was trying to find Xia Yulong's figure in surprise......
Suddenly, a bright red light shot out from the depths of the universe inside the sphere, stinging Blue Core's eyes, and the afterglow overflowed around the ball wall, turning into clusters of invisible red mist that wrapped the crystal ball.
Immediately after that, the top of the mountain shook incessantly, and it felt like it was about to collapse in an instant.
The joy on Lan Xin's face was gone, and she became nervous, and as soon as they staggered back to the tree, she and the three wolves were shaken down by the tremor of the mountain peak.
At the moment when they rolled to the ground, there was a roar from the crystal ball that shattered the night sky, and a huge red dragon burst out of the crystal ball, and a muffled sound was heard, and a black shadow fell from the mist on the grass, and it looked like a black thing from a distance, but it was not clear what it was.
The dragon's body was scorched with flames, and the scales all over its body made a "whoosh" sound, and the flames came from between the cracks in the scales, and it coiled twice around the tree on the top of the mountain, and its body wrapped around the trunk.
It hung its head, sniffed Blue Core's body, burped, and then turned to look at the black mass that had fallen on the grass, and then turned its head to stare at Blue Core, its eyes bulging, and the two long antennae on its nose dangling in front of Blue Core's eyes.
Lan Xin was frightened by the dragon's hideous and ugly face, she closed her eyes tightly, lowered her head, her hands were tightly tugged, her fingertips pierced her palms, her whole body trembled and almost shrunk into a ball, and her vest oozed cold sweat.
The three wolves lay behind Blue Core and didn't dare to make any sound.
After a while, the top of the spiritual mountain no longer trembled, and the surroundings returned to calm, quiet as usual.
Lan Xin stirred in his heart: "I'm afraid this monster is leaving, right?" She slowly opened her eyes, but saw that Jiaolong was still looking at her, her face changed greatly, she sat on the ground and retreated again and again, and shouted in shock: "What are you, we don't know you, please don't come to hurt me, don't hurt Brother Yulong, okay?" ”
Jiaolong "uh", burped again, and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't be afraid, although I look fierce and ugly, I am not evil, I am a firescale dragon, from the ...... universe"
The firescale dragon suddenly shushed, frowned slightly, and said, "I can only reveal so much to you." It looked at the black thing not far away, "You go and see him, treat him well, hehe, this kid is really blessed, I met such a beautiful little girl, I don't talk to you, I have to go back to my life......"
Blue Core was about to ask why, but saw the firescale dragon soar into the air, waving its flaming four claws and swimming towards the night sky.
The firescale dragon swam farther and farther away, and only a fiery red ribbon could be seen floating in the night sky.
Lan Xin suddenly felt that this world was so beautiful, not as bad as she imagined, she looked at the fire scale dragon and showed a sweet smile, she waved her hand and shouted loudly: "Will you come back, where are you going to fly, where will we find you in the future?" ”
The echo of the firescale dragon came from the night sky: "Go back to the universe, go where I need to go, you don't have to look for me, my mission has been completed, and it's up to you next." ”
The firescale dragon was gone, and the night sky was still clear, as if nothing had happened.
Blue Core stood still, looking at the deep night sky for a long time, where did the firescale dragon come from, and where did it fly into the universe? Is it a mysterious and desirable paradise? There is no pain, no war, no sorrow, no deceit, is it a carefree fairy world?
Suddenly, from the side of the full moon, the roar of the firescale dragon pierced the night sky: "You are the descendant of the dragon, the son of the universe, but you are also a mortal, I hope you will keep your promise, purify all sentient beings, shoulder the mission of saving the Three Realms, and leave two scales for you to make a memorial, they may be helpful to you." ”
Two flaming scales slowly fell from the night sky......
The moment the scales fell into the palm of the blue core, they went out and turned into two pieces of red jade, which were slightly hot.
The jade is crystal clear, oval in shape, glowing purple red in the faint moonlight, and the scales are faintly visible inside, which is charming.
Lan Xin's face finally showed a smile, she looked at the jade stones over and over for a moment, then put them in her jacket pocket, and ran towards the black thing, and at the same time, she also asked suspiciously in her heart: "Just now the fire scale dragon stared at me like this, it said that the descendants of the dragon, save the common people?" Are you talking about me? ”
After a moment, Lan Xin shook his head and said to himself: "How can I, a weak woman, have such a great ability to save the common people, promise?" What kind of promise is it?,I didn't make any promises in front of the firescale dragon.,Well,The firescale dragon must be talking about Brother Yulong.,Alas,It's useless to think about it.,Wait and ask Brother Yulong.,Isn't it clear if you ask Brother Yulong.。 ”
When he got closer, he saw that the black thing turned out to be a transparent viscous liquid, and there was a person lying in the middle of the liquid, it was Xia Yulong, and the red mist hovering above him had long since disappeared.
The viscous liquid emitted a disgusting fishy smell, and Lan Xin covered his mouth and nose to help Xia Yulong up from the liquid.
Xia Yulong was still asleep, walking unconsciously, and Lan Xin put his arms around him and struggled to get up.
Compared with the body of a weak woman and a big man, Lan Xin's figure seemed so petite and thin, and it took her a lot of effort to help Xia Yulong to lie down on the grass next to her.
The three wolves howled happily at the full moon, as if to tell the old man and Scar of Heaven that their boss had returned safely, and told them not to worry.
They came to Xia Yulong's side and licked the slimy liquid off his body for him, and the fishy smell gradually dissipated.
After a while, the three wolves began to howl at the full moon again......
The howl is long and long, like a ghost floating in the valley, perhaps this is the spirituality of wolves, they are human and the most loyal.
In Lan Xin's ears, the wolf's howl is always in the same tone, because she has been in contact with the wolves for too short a time, and she can't hear their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, she knows that the three wolves are as happy as her, and their hearts are steady.
A big hand with a temperature suddenly grabbed Lan Xin's right arm, Lan Xin was shocked, and immediately took her eyes back from the three wolves, and then she turned from surprise to joy, her frowning brows completely stretched, and blurted out: "Brother Yulong, you finally woke up, great, it's okay if you're okay." ”
Xia Yulong slowly opened his eyes, he wanted to get up, but he felt weak all over his body, lying on the grass and said slowly: "I heard you and Da Tianyi calling me, calling me back, I can't leave them, let alone you." He clenched Blue Core's hands, tears welling up in his eyes.
Lan Xin struggled to help the extremely weak Xia Yulong up from the grass and lean against the big tree, she held his handsome face with both hands, and looked at him with distress.
Two lines of tears unconsciously overflowed from the corners of Lan Xin's eyes, slowly sliding down her face, in the time that Xia Yulong disappeared, she knew how much she loved him, and was so reluctant and attached to him, in just two days, it was like spending a reincarnation, she thought, they will never be separated again in this life......
Lan Xin threw himself into Xia Yulong's arms and asked softly, "Brother Yulong, where did you go and what happened?" Xin'er is so worried about you, worried that you will never come back, worried that you will never take care of Xin'er again. ”
Xia Yulong wiped away the tears on Lan Xin's face, softened her long hair, and said with a smile: "Look, didn't I come back safely, it made Xin'er worried, and I will never leave Xin'er in the future." ”
Lan Xin suddenly remembered the words of the Fire Scale Dragon, she looked at Xia Yulong and asked, "Do you know?" Just now, a fire-scaled dragon burst out of the crystal ball, and it said that you are the descendant of the dragon, the son of the universe, and asked you to purify all living beings and save the common people! ”
Xia Yulong looked at Lan Xin with a shocked face and asked, "What, what did you say?" What descendant of the dragon, the child of the universe? He didn't understand Blue Core's words at all.
Lan Xin was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you see the Fire Scale Dragon in the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?" The fire scale dragon came out of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and it didn't talk to you in the Cosmic Cube? The claws of the Fire Scale Dragon are exactly the same as the one that caught you in the Cosmic Cube earlier, and I suspect that the Fire Scale Dragon grabbed you into the Cosmic Cube. ”
Xia Yulong's face was full of doubts, he thought about it and looked at the bleak mountains in the distance, and said: "I can't remember what caught me in the cosmic Rubik's Cube, I only remember that I suddenly appeared in a starry sky, traveled through the vast universe, and came to a galaxy ......."
Xia Yulong thought for a moment, and then said: "I vaguely feel that I am walking in a dark and boundless space, I thought that I would go on like this, and I will never come back, until I heard the big sky calling me behind me, I turned around suddenly, only to see you sitting next to me, I was very scared in the dark space, afraid that I would never see you again." ”
Looking at Lan Xin's dazed expression, Xia Yulong asked again, "Have you really seen that firescale dragon?" ”
Lan Xin nodded, and told Xia Yulong exactly what he had seen when he saw the firescale dragon, and took out two pieces of jade made of scales from his pocket, Xia Yulong pinched one of the jade stones and looked at the night sky, he wanted to find the traces of the firescale dragon and imagine the appearance of the firescale dragon, but there was only a cold full moon and some sparse stars in the night sky.
After a while, Xia Yulong turned his head and asked Lan Xin: "Am I really the descendant of the dragon?" ”
Lan Xin nodded and said with a smile: "Think about it, let's watch the Cosmic Rubik's Cube together, why did the Fire Scale Dragon pull you into the Rubik's Cube, instead of me, it must be teaching you the skills of the dragon, and in the future, Brother Yulong will be an omnipotent hero, and we don't have to worry about being bullied anymore." ”
Xia Yulong's brows were tightly locked, a trace of imperceptible pain flashed across his face, he sighed lightly, and said, "It's good if the Fire Scale Dragon doesn't kill me, how can you pass on my skills?" When I woke up, I felt soft and weak, without any strength, like a serious illness, especially my back hurt very badly, the pain came from the chest in bursts, gathered on the spine of the back, the more luck resisted, the more unbearable the pain. ”
Lan Xin looked at Xia Yulong's face, only to see that his face was melancholy, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and when she wiped the sweat for him, she only felt that his body was cold and piercing.
Lan Xin was shocked and shocked, and asked distressedly, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Could it be that the firescale dragon told a lie? ”
