Chapter 3: Caught in Reminiscence
A month has passed, and the mountain in front of the forbidden area is already within reach. The young man looked at the only two runes left in his arms, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Continue to walk towards the top of the mountain, and in less than half a day, you will reach the peak. At this time, the boy clearly saw a shocking scene. He naturally thought before he came, it could be used as a barrier in front of the forbidden area, this mountain peak could not be an ordinary mountain in his impression, but after all, he had not really seen it before, and he couldn't really feel it.
In the center of the top of the mountain was a circular altar that could clearly be torn apart, a layer of dust about a few feet thick to show the passage of time, and a few runes around the altar that had not been completely erased. In the center of the altar was a huge stone bead, which was surprisingly surrounded by seven thick chains—all seven chains pointed in unison, and a bridge could be seen leading out of them.
It was a bridge with no view from the far end of the line, because no creature had ever come out of the forbidden area, and naturally no one knew what was connected to it on the other side, or even its name. Although no one has ever verified it, the world knows that the other end of the bridge must be connected to the inside of the restricted area.
About three feet under the bridge, you can see the clouds and mist surging, it is conceivable that if there is not enough cultivation and fall off the bridge, there is no doubt that there is only a sound of powder and broken bones, as a teenager who has not yet cultivated a little bit of his body, to walk from this bridge that is only three steps wide, even if there is no danger in the middle, this is undoubtedly a huge challenge.
After hesitating for a moment, the young man's immature face became firm. The young man walked cautiously, holding on to the thick bridge cables, and walked towards the center of the bridge.
The bridge rope, which has not been touched for many years, is extremely cold, and after walking for a long time, the boy has no choice but to let it go. As a last resort, the young man's steps became more cautious. As he went deeper, the bridge began to jolt with each step he took, and gradually, he walked slower and slower.
Over the course of several days, the boy's body gradually began to become overwhelmed, and the dry food he had brought with him had long since run out. In fact, the boy's legs have been trembling since yesterday, and his face is becoming more and more haggard and pale, and it is completely conceivable that the boy will have to pay a huge price for every step forward in the future. Slowly, he could no longer support his body to walk upright, his reddened eyes kept staring ahead, and he began to move forward on all fours, squirming forward like a snake.
Even the boy didn't know if he would be able to walk off the bridge alive, and the only thing he could do now was keep moving forward, even until he couldn't climb anymore......
I don't know how long it took, but there was an inexplicable flash of brilliance between the altars that appeared at the beginning, and then the stone beads placed in the center emitted a faint halo. The poor boy was hungry and thirsty, exhausted, and though he could clearly feel the clouds getting thicker, there was nothing he could do.
In a few moments, the clouds and mist were covering the entire bridge. As time passed, the boy found that he could no longer see anything except the white fog, and he only lay motionless on the bridge deck, hoping that the white fog would dissipate as soon as possible.
As the altar flickered, no one could see it, and in the depths of the forbidden area, there was an emotionless and very mechanical voice in a very special way, and it was not known where it led.
After a long time, someone outside the Tianyun Continent finally responded, and a vast divine thought came, "There are fluctuations in creation, but this time seems to be a little earlier than what I saw......"
Shen Nian swept over, and saw the young man who had fallen to the ground looking ahead with empty eyes, and a piece of jade attracted his attention, "This thing is interesting, but I wonder if you are the person I am looking for?"
"Sansheng Bridge, look back on this life", whispered the owner of this divine thought. At this time, the bridge where the boy was located became more and more shaky, and a large amount of spiritual power gathered near the bridge. With the passage of time, the constantly compressed aura actually condensed into liquid, but it did not fall and hung in the air.
On the bridge, the boy's consciousness became weaker and weaker, and he seemed to have returned to the day when he had just been born.
That day, in front of Enron Village.
It was noon, the villagers were working in the fields, it was just the right weather, but they didn't want to be suddenly cloudy, after a short brew, thousands of thunder and lightning accompanied by the rain made a terrifying sound, and it was at this time that a baby's cry pierced the dull atmosphere of the entire sky, and this baby was a teenager.
The villagers found out of nowhere for the first time, the kind villagers decided to take him as a child adopted by the whole village after a moment of discussion, in this warm scene the child gradually grew up, the villagers are very fond of this little naughty little naughty, at the age of seven, the little naughty picked up a palm-sized jade at the edge of the village, the jade is light purple, its lines are clear, very good-looking, but no one thought that this palm-sized jade has become the source of the tragedy in the future.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Little naughty, really naughty, after today, you will be ten years old, you will be more sensible in the future, you know? According to the convention, the children in the village need to have their own names when they are ten years old, go to Arlo and play with them, and call them back for dinner later, don't be too far from the village", a middle-aged woman raised the corners of her eyebrows, and a pair of rough hands dragged the naughty egg in her mouth to her side, looking at the bucket that was knocked over by the child, her face was pale, and then there was a burst of falls.
This child is the baby who appeared in the village without warning ten years ago, for many years, this middle-aged woman has not had an heir for some reason, which is also her heart disease, which also leads to his special doting on this little naughty, she feels that this is the child that God has given him, this is the best gift from God to her.
"Got it, Aunt Xue, I'll be obedient" The little naughty buzzed, watching him stand up straight and the small body that was not yet on his waist deliberately put his hands behind his back, the woman couldn't help laughing, "Don't always imitate your village chief grandfather all day, he will spank you when he sees it, little naughty" With a bit of banter, the woman gently patted his buttocks.
"No, the village chief's grandfather is good to me, and, Aunt Xue, I told you many times, I've grown up, don't touch my ass casually" The little naughty little face was flushed, and he ran away as fast as a rabbit.
......
The next day, the village names got up early and got together, and the little naughty who hadn't woken up was forcibly pulled between them, and the little naughty who was stared at by a pair of eyes looked a little uncomfortable, but he still politely called out to every elder, looking like a good child, if it weren't for the fact that almost everyone here had been teased by this little little girl, maybe they would really think that this was a little obedient.
"Little Naughty is a child that we have adopted together with our villagers, and we hope you can give us some suggestions on the name. An old man with a heavy twilight spoke, the old man's wrinkles were reflected on his face, this sense of vicissitudes was very strong, as if he was about to die in the next moment, he stood at the front of the crowd, his hands behind his back.
"The village chief is right, but you have to make up your mind, most of the villagers are uneducated, as far as I'm concerned, those few words that I recognize have long been taken from the dolls in the village."
"That's right, the village chief has an idea."
"What Brother Meng said is what we are talking about, village chief, you have to give the little naughty a good name, he is too noisy, I hope that after having a name, I can restrain it a little" The villagers said to the old man one after another.
"This is natural, do you still remember the little naughty three years ago picked up a piece of jade? It is engraved with a 'seven' word, I believe that there will be no unprovoked encounter in this world, let alone jade, since the little naughty and this jade have a fate, it is better to be naughty in the future in the name of the word 'seven'" The old man was not in a hurry, and continued,
"Since the little naughty came to this village, the one who took the most care of him was Shen Xue's girl, Shen Xue, you were born unable to have children, very sorry, normally there will be no queen in this life, if you don't mind, the old man suggests, the little naughty will take your surname in the future"
"Village chief, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I mind? I must have taken him as... Treat it like a child" It was the middle-aged woman yesterday, she obviously didn't expect such a thing today, the villagers could feel the joy that couldn't be concealed from her somewhat stammering tone, tears flowed involuntarily, everyone present could understand Shen Xue's mood at this moment,
The little naughty mouth muttered "Shen Qi, Shen Qi" He danced in the air with his hands, very happy, he saw the tears that slipped on Shen Xue's face and said incomprehensibly, "Aunt Xue, what's wrong with you, don't cry, I'll be called Shen Qi in the future",
"Aunt Xue is happy, child, my good child, Aunt Xue doesn't cry, go, Aunt Xue will go home and cook" Shen Xue hugged the little naughty, and tears flowed down a lot.
In this way, the little naughty in the village also had his own name, and he became more fond of the jade he picked up, and he had to take it out from time to time to play with it.
