Chapter Twenty-Nine: Such a World
The old people in the stone village slowly left the courtyard, and the sky gradually got late, and the stars and the bright moon also appeared, scattering starlight into the world. Lights were also lit in the houses of Ishimura, and although the lights were weak, they were enough to illuminate Ishimura.
This was Ye Chen's first night in Shicun. Old man Shi Yunfeng lit a fire in the courtyard, and the two sat facing each other, both smiling. Ye Chen's stay in Shi Yunfeng Courtyard was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
The old man has no marriage in his life, no children and no daughters. Lonely and lonely, the villagers hope that the old village chief's yard will be more lively, not just flowers and plants.
The old man took out some of the meat from the house, which had been marinated, and took out a jar of honey along the way. Put it on the fire and roast it. Until the meat is roasted to a golden brown brown and the meat is fragrant. After brushing some honey, he handed it to Ye Chen, and Ye Chen did not refuse. Somehow, he became a teenager, and his appetite was much bigger than before.
The old man spoke first: "Child, what is your name?"
"Ye Chen, what about you?"
"Shi Yunfeng, if you don't care, you can call me Grandpa Yunfeng, that's what the dolls in the village call me. ”
"Grandpa Yunfeng!"
"Hey"
Shi Yunfeng agreed, with a strong smile on his face.
Ye Chen took a big bite of the barbecue and said, "What kind of place is this, doesn't it have a name?"
The old man was very talkative, and he didn't understand Ye Chen. said directly: "This great wilderness is connected by one mountain after another, and we don't know where its end is, but this endless mountain is called a god by the world." According to legend, there was an era when demons were rampant, and the world was like purgatory. Later, a god descended from the sky and fought with the strongest of the demons. They fought from heaven to earth, from lakes to wasteland. Until the battle into this great wilderness, the peerless demon was invincible. Sealed in the depths of the Great Wilderness, the god was too badly wounded. Bloodshed in the wilderness
Fall. The people of the world who witnessed all this called this great wilderness a godfall. I want to remember everything that happened like this. ”
"Oh, I see," Ye Chen sighed. Every place will leave such legends to a greater or lesser extent, and the age is too old. I don't know if it's true or not, so I should listen to it.
Ye Chen asked again: "Are you an immortal?" I didn't understand the language here, but if you just finger a little, I can actually do it." ”
"Immortals? haha"
The old man laughed, then shook his head and said, "Child, I am not an immortal, I am just a person living in the great wilderness, much better than ordinary people. I'm just a very weak cultivator, in the eyes of mortals, if the person who can go to heaven and earth, turn rivers and seas, and pick stars with his hands is an immortal, then a very powerful cultivator can reach this step. If cultivation is a path, I have only walked a little distance. If you really come to the end of the road, maybe you can really become an immortal. ”
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you later. Your bloodline is amazing, and it is estimated that you will go further than me. ”
Ye Chen asked again, "Grandpa Yunfeng, how big is this world?!"
"How big? I'm afraid no one in this world can give an accurate answer. The great wilderness we live in is surrounded by several human countries, including the Chu country. It is 3,000 miles in length and 2,000 miles in width. And that's just one of the small countries. I don't know how many are bigger than that. It is like the stars in the nine heavens, which cannot be numbered. ”
Shi Yunfeng paused and said again: "Not to mention ordinary cultivators like us, even those cultivators who can fly through the heavens and the earth will only wander in one domain in their entire lives. You know, we're one of those domains, and there's a few of them. It is also a vast territory, with no end in sight. The domain name we live in now is called the Eastern Wilderness, and the rest are the Western Regions, the South Mountains, the Northern Plains, and the most mysterious Zhongzhou! I, ah, have never gone out of the scope of Shicun in my life, and the child hopes that you will get out of the wilderness. Take a look out for me. When the old man spoke, there was light in his eyes, and this kind of light Ye Chen had also seen in Ye Laoxie's eyes. That is the light that hopes for the success of the offspring.
When you were young, who didn't think about it. Break through the world, stand on the highest peak of a domain, and stir up the world. But this dream is gradually becoming unattainable. Crushed into powder by the giant wheel of reality, a breeze blows. You can't even see the pile of powder, and the distant dream has disappeared without a trace as time passes.
"The child should go to bed early today, and he will need to wake up early tomorrow. Practice with the people in the village. Shi Yunfeng finished the last bite of the barbecue and wiped his mouth with his hand. stood up and urged Ye Chen to go back to the house. and he extinguished the fire.
The people of Ishimura have no entertainment at night, except for the sacrifices after returning from a successful hunt. I went to bed very early at night. The night and day of the Great Wilderness are two different worlds. The slaughter of the hunters will take place under the cover of this night.
If Ishimura is too noisy, it will attract fierce beasts, which will lead to great killing. This is not allowed to happen, and the tribes in the great wilderness are like this, resting at sunset and working at sunrise.
Ye Chen was lying on the soft bed, he didn't feel sleepy yet, in fact, Ye Chen had slept long enough. He was wondering what kind of world it was.
Shi Yunfeng's words gave him a great shock, and it was the first time he learned about this world. A small country alone is actually 3,000 miles long and 2,000 miles horizontal. This is just a drop in the ocean of the Eastern Wilderness, and there are four other domains as big as the Eastern Wilderness.
This is known as the Great Wilderness of the Divine Fall, he is actually only in a peripheral area, and in the depths of the Great Wilderness, I don't know how many big demons inhabit it, powerful and terrifying. How many great wildernesses like this have existed in the world for a long time, so that the lakes and mountains are there?
This world can actually cultivate, and the human race can also climb the avenue. Listening to Shi Yunfeng's words, if you can go farther on the path of cultivation, you will be able to fly to the sky. Walking farther away, you can still call the wind and rain, and hold the stars in your hand.
Ye Chen didn't think about it that much, he just wanted to find out the secret of the five-colored divine stone, and then return to the earth, even if it was just a glance at the old man, even a glance was enough.
The old man who raised him to adulthood, and his temples gradually turned white. One of the most tragic things in the world is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person.
His bones have not been found on earth. Ye Chen seemed to see a picture, an old man in a cloth robe, leaning over, and there were several strange beasts behind him. Looking at the mound in front of him, with tears in his eyes, he was crying silently. After standing for a long time, sprinkle a glass of wine. As the sun sets, trembling away.
Ye Chen wanted to shout, "I'm not dead, I'm still alive!" But he is not a person from that world after all, and that world does not belong to him. Ye Chen was abandoned by the world.
Gradually, Ye Chen thought about these things. I also fell asleep slowly.
