Torrent Volume Chapter Twenty-Eight: Remember Me?
Darkness, or darkness.
At the moment of ascending, Xu Sheng seemed to have fallen into the endless abyss. What is inflicted on the body is an unbearable coldness that penetrates deep into the bone marrow; My ears were filled with noisy, messy, small and faint air currents.
A familiar and unfamiliar feeling surged into Xu Sheng's heart, and after a year, he came to this "place of fate" again.
"Whew-whew-"
As Xu Sheng walked, the sound of the air flow in his ears became louder and louder, and gradually turned into a roar of the wind; His eyes grew brighter and brighter, and in the boundless darkness, he gradually gained the power to probe.
"Here... Nothing has changed. Xu Sheng hesitated and whispered, his pace slowed, he frowned, and looked around.
All he could see was an ancient tree that was unreachable, revealing its majesty and vicissitudes.
Xu Sheng's hand brushed over the tree, and the cold feeling penetrated into his heart from his fingers. I don't know how long these huge beings have been standing here, and what kind of mission they carry out.
"What should I do, wait for the wind and thunder to rise, and return with the heavenly fire?"
Xu Sheng said to himself, past experience told him that he should do that; However, a throbbing in the depths of his heart drove him to move and move forward.
The throbbing came from the "Nirvana Dan", Xu Sheng could feel it, it was beating.
"He's in my body, but I'm under his control, who is the owner of this body?!"
Xu Sheng asked himself, his eyes stared, he simply didn't leave, and sat down cross-legged.
"Nirvana Dan" or fate, no matter whose "guidance" it is, Xu Sheng does not intend to obediently obey it.
If you want me to go, I won't go!
Xu Sheng made up his mind, groaned slightly, and exhaled concentratingly. He just wanted to return to the "real world" as soon as possible, return to Zhiyang City, sit here, and wait for the thunder to ignite the earth's fire. As for the throbbing or something, Xu Sheng didn't plan to pay attention to it, he thought he could suppress it.
"Isn't it really good?"
After sitting quietly for a long time, Xu Sheng finally moved, but with a wry smile on his face, he shook his head helplessly.
The whistling wind in my ears gradually weakened, and at last, there was no sound of air currents; Moreover, the thunder he was looking forward to was also far away, and there was no sign of coming. At this time, the throbbing in his heart couldn't help but rise, constantly "knocking" his body and soul.
Fate imposes on him, how can he be so easy to refuse?
"Looks like I have to go."
Xu Sheng stood up, "looked" into the distance, held his breath and condensed, and took a step.
In one step, he suddenly felt relaxed and restless; That "Nirvana Dan" - no jumping.
All right.
Although Xu Sheng was unwilling, he could only stubbornly obey, his heart had always been concerned about Zhiyang, and his body couldn't stay here for too long.
If it weren't for Zhiyang, he would have to fight with the "Nirvana Dan" and fight with the "fate".
But......
Walking, walking, I don't know how long it was, I don't know how far I went.
Just when Xu Shengbai was bored, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a ball of light pierced into his eyes.
It's fire!
But it was not the heavenly fire triggered by the thunder, but the fire that was regularly distributed around the altar!
Altar!
Xu Sheng subconsciously took two steps forward, and saw more clearly, it was indeed an altar. Last time, he had seen it.
At that time, there was a "ghost in white" on the altar.
However, now, Xu Sheng looked intently, and the altar was empty.
"Is it the same altar?"
Xu Sheng asked himself, took two steps forward, he looked around, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "It shouldn't be the same, the 'door of life and death' is not there." ”
He clearly remembered that the last time, in front of the altar, there was a stone tablet engraved with the words "Gate of Life and Death"; Today, it is impossible to find it.
Of course, maybe the stele was removed, but that is too unlikely. Why do such things as "existence" here?
After hesitating for a while, Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and walked straight towards the altar.
If he wants to return to the real world, to return to Zhiyang, "fire" is indispensable, since there is no heavenly fire triggered by thunder, then the fire on the altar can also be!
One step, two steps...
Xu Sheng traveled all the way, but it was unusually smooth, without the slightest obstacle; In a short time he was standing right in front of the altar. Looking at the blazing firelight, Xu Sheng was not only afraid, but also a little happy.
However, that little bit of joy only lasted for two breaths and then vanished. Xu Sheng's afterglow caught a glimpse of a person on that altar, in the back position!
"Yikes!"
Xu Sheng gasped, his heart was broken, cold sweat flowed, and the hairs exploded.
"When you get here, why don't you come up and sit down?" A stiff and cold voice came out and entered Xu Sheng's ears like thunder.
He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but as soon as his body moved, he felt a huge crisis!
The man on the altar is not allowed to retreat!
Xu Sheng stood silently, and all that was added to his body was depression, endless depression!
Last time, he could still compete with the white-clothed ghost with his relics; And this time, he knew it at a moment's notice, even if it was a "relic", it was like a dead silence.
Under this oppression, the "relics" rarely chose to "give in"!
The "relics" are helpless, what can Xu Sheng do?
He slowly raised his head, the "invisible secret power" condensed in his eyes, and he looked at it intently, barely seeing the person clearly.
The one on the altar, with a fit in shape, sat on the ground, dressed in black, but blended well into the "boundless darkness" of the "Dark Forest".
As for the face, no matter how hard Xu Sheng tried, he couldn't detect that person's face seemed to blend into the "darkness" better than his black clothes.
"Come"
A word exploded in Xu Sheng's ears. The power of this word made him lose his mind, and he almost collapsed to the ground, spurting blood from his mouth.
"Okay, I'll go."
Xu Shengkan stabilized his body, panting heavily, and struggled to admit it. In the current situation, is there any reason why he does not agree?
One step, one step.
Xu Sheng's heart was full of fear; But at the same time, as he got closer to the man, the pressure on him became less and less.
It's here.
Xu Sheng stood in front of that person, although there was no unbearable coercion on his body, he didn't even dare to come out.
The person in front of him was the strongest person Xu Sheng had ever encountered! Even, vaguely, he suspected that this person was the owner of the big bronze hand, the initiator of everything!
Such an existence has already broken through Xu Sheng's cognitive scope and reached a height that he cannot reach. Xu Sheng had no doubt that as long as the person in front of him was willing, he could pinch him to death casually, just like pinching an ant to death.
"Sit"
The man stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture. Xu Sheng mustered up the courage to glance at him hastily, and then followed his example and sat on the ground.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The man didn't look at Xu Sheng, and said to himself: "We shouldn't have met now, but I don't have much time, and this time, I put everything down on you." ”
"What!?"
Xu Sheng was confused when he heard that man's words, and he couldn't help but ask aloud in shock.
"Nothing, you'll always know." The man chuckled, was silent for a long time, and then shouted abruptly; "Look at the old man!"
"Ahh
Xu Sheng was startled, his brain exploded, and then he subconsciously raised his head suddenly, and he was looking at the person in front of him.
At a glance, Xu Sheng's heart was fluttering, and he seemed to see a pool of ocean and a starry sky. Scenes of mottled and messy images flashed in his mind; However, it is never possible to put together a complete image!
At the same time, all sorts of voices reverberated in his ears, in his heart, in his head.
"Do you remember?"
The person in front of him spoke softly, in a flat tone; But in that blandness, there is a deep vicissitudes and infinite profundity.
Hearing this voice, Xu Sheng cried!
This voice was heard for the first time in his life, but it felt very familiar, as if it had accompanied him for thousands of years and had heard it countless times.
An inexplicable sadness surfaced in Xu Sheng's heart, the previous fear and heaviness were swept away, and he finally saw the whole face of that person.
Familiar and unfamiliar, like an old friend, and as if only seen in life.
Xu Sheng didn't know who he was, he didn't even know how to describe him, even though he had read books for nearly twenty years and flipped through the "Classics and History", he couldn't find a suitable word.
Ordinary.
Racking his brains, Xu Sheng only thought of the most ordinary word; However, it is the most appropriate.
Ordinary, is ordinary.
It's mediocre, it's not outstanding, it's featureless, and it's easy to forget.
His eyebrows are neither long nor short, neither thick nor thin, neither curved nor straight; His eyes are neither big nor small, neither clear nor dark, not blazing, not willow leaves and danfeng; His face was neither wide nor narrow, neither round nor square, nor.
He is a drop in the ocean among all living beings, he is a speck of dust in the noisy world, and he is a passerby that everyone encounters every day.
He is not outstanding, but he sits on the altar!
"Do you recognize me?" The man asked softly, a hint of anticipation on his ordinary face.
"Nope"
Xu Sheng shook his head, although he didn't want to, he wanted to let this expectation come to naught.
"If you think about it, it's the first time we've met, but we've seen each other many times before."
The man spoke, and his words were clearly incomprehensible; However, when Xu Sheng heard it, he didn't feel that there was much disobedience.
"I can't remember."
Xu Sheng shook his head again, and the images in his mind were desperately squeezed together; However, every time it was about to be touched, it shattered.
Every time it was broken, it only brought Xu Sheng a deeper sadness and pain.
He was sad.
He didn't know why he was sad, but he understood that it wasn't just that he couldn't recognize the person in front of him.
"What the hell have I been through? What have you forgotten? ”
Xu Sheng burst into tears and couldn't help himself.
"Well, it's not time after all." The man smiled bitterly, lightly tapped Xu Sheng's forehead, and said, "Go back, the affairs of the world are the way you must go." ”
Rumble!
A ball of fire ignited in front of Xu Sheng's eyes, and at the same time, his consciousness also "flashed" with red light. He wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, his consciousness began to drift; The moment his consciousness vanished, his body also dissipated from here.
What he couldn't see was that after he had completely disappeared, the ordinary-looking strange man sitting on the altar collapsed and looked a little older......
