Chapter 146: The End of the World
Lu Yuxuan snuggled up to the man's side like that, and lay quietly all night until dawn.
Although the weather was a little cold, her heart was hot, and Lu Yuxuan clearly felt that her heart was beating fast.
The man hadn't woken up yet, he was sleeping deeply.
Lu Yuxuan sat up next to the man, she wanted to hug the man into her arms, but because the man's hand hugged the stele too tightly, Lu Yuxuan failed.
Looking at the man's appearance, Lu Yuxuan's heart hurt inexplicably.
Slowly approaching the man's face and holding his face, Lu Yuxuan began to look at it carefully.
The appearance of clear eyebrows is gone, replaced by a full of decadence and vicissitudes.
Tears fell again, and Lu Yuxuan stretched out his jade hand and gently rubbed the man's face and looked at it for a long time.
Eventually, she condensed an ice blade from her hand, and she began to carefully clean the man's face from his beard and his unkempt hair.
When the wind blows, the woman's dress and hair dance with the wind, like a warm jade hand, gently soothing the man's heart.
After a while, Lu Yuxuan finally cleaned up the man's face, and she carefully looked at the face that made her think about it all night, and then slowly leaned her face over...
At this moment, the man who had been sleeping suddenly opened his eyes.
The eyes met and did not produce any sparks.
The man's eyes were hollow, without a trace of brilliance, even if Lu Yuxuan was close to him, he didn't seem to notice anything.
All he had in his eyes was the stele......
The man turned his face away, and when he looked at the stele, there was a twinkle in his eyes.
Lu Yuxuan was slightly disappointed, she silently stood up and stepped aside, quietly watching the man's every move.
"Yue'er..."
The man stared blankly at the stele and called softly.
Tears crossed the corners of his eyes.
Lu Yuxuan looked at the man quietly, and then got up and gently wiped away the man's tears.
After a while, the man suddenly stood up, turned back one step at a time, and stumbled towards the outside of the village.
Lu Yuxuan was a little curious, so he kept following behind the man.
After walking for a long time, out of the village, the man entered a restaurant in a town.
This is a tavern called Zuixian Building, although it is not big, but it is quite lively.
After the man entered the restaurant, he untied a gourd from his body and put it on the counter.
The people in the tavern seemed to be accustomed to the man's arrival, and they were not surprised, but kept shaking their heads and sighing.
"Alas... Here we go again......"
"I don't know what blow made him become like this......"
The diners only sighed slightly, and then they buried their heads in their meals.
The shopkeeper in the restaurant also seemed to be accustomed to the man's actions, he picked up the man's gourd from the counter, and then handed it to Xiao Er on the side.
Xiao Er hurried down with a gourd, and after a while, he came out with a gourd filled with wine, and there were a few more steamed buns in his hand.
The man took the wine gourd and hurried away, not saying a word from beginning to end.
Looking at the man's back, the shopkeeper just shook his head, sighed, and continued to be busy with his business.
The shopkeeper was busy settling accounts, because the prices of various ingredients in the restaurant had risen very much recently, and he had a headache.
It had to do with the weather, because there had been no light in the sky since two months ago.
Even when the rainy season comes, there is still an occasional sunshine, and it is the first time that the shopkeeper has seen it for two whole months without a trace of light.
"Alas...... I don't know when such a thing will be a ......."
Looking up at the sky outside the house, the shopkeeper sighed again.
...
After the man came out of the restaurant, he began to hurry back again, he walked so fast that Lu Yuxuan couldn't keep up.
Lu Yuxuan was a little surprised, out of the town, in a no-man's land, she immediately sacrificed the magic weapon and hurriedly chased after it.
When Lu Yuxuan returned to the village, the man had already sat down in front of the grave again, and began to drink while babbling nonsense.
It was a little overcast again, and it began to rain heavily.
The rain was so heavy that the sky seemed to crack open, and the rain began to pour down uncontrollably.
Lu Yuxuan used his magic weapon as rain gear to shield her and the man from the pouring rain.
She remained quietly by the man's side, not speaking.
Time passed like this, until one day the rain stopped and thunder began to sound in the sky.
It's still autumn, and thunder is almost non-existent, and there are even fewer visions of thunder like this.
Lu Yuxuan finally took his eyes off the man's body and looked at the sky.
It was dark, terrible, and the scene seemed to be brewing some kind of disaster.
Lu Yuxuan remembered a rumor, a rumor about the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Click!"
A flash of lightning and thunder fell from the black clouds and suddenly exploded in midair.
Lu Yuxuan suddenly felt a palpitation.
This continued for several more days, and by the end of the day, the thunder was getting louder and louder, and the sky was getting darker and darker.
Another thunderbolt exploded in the air, but this time the thunderbolt fell straight down and slammed into the ground.
That's the direction of Qingniu Town.
After the thunder fell, a sky-high flame lit up, which stood out in the dim sky.
Lu Yuxuan was a little worried, she was worried about those ordinary mortals who were powerless.
"I'm leaving, I'm going to see what's going on outside. If I hadn't come back, would you have remembered me too?"
Lu Yuxuan squatted down, reached out to touch the man's face, and asked softly.
The man's eyes were still empty and unbright, and he didn't answer Lu Yuxuan's words.
"Alas...... Actually, I wish I had died ......."
With a light sigh, Lu Yuxuan finally stood up, glanced at the man gloomily, and then slowly left, her back a little sad......
It's just that when Lu Yuxuan left, what she didn't see was that the man's eyes, which had been empty, suddenly lit up.
...
The Flood Desolate Continent began to boil, and a terrifying thought arose in their hearts alike for both cultivators and mortals.
Is it really the end that is coming?
It's no wonder they think this way, it's because the current celestial phenomena are too terrifying.
The black clouds in the sky were overwhelming, and countless lightning and thunder roared one after another, and from time to time they also fell down, as if a catastrophe had descended.
For thousands of years, such a celestial phenomenon has never occurred.
There was an ancient legend in the Flood Desolation Continent that every 6,000 years, the continent would usher in a catastrophe, and the living beings would be destroyed.
Only a cultivator who has attained the legendary state of oneness can come out and stop this.
Not many people know about what happened 6,000 years ago, and no one has witnessed that catastrophe with their own eyes.
But today, it seems that the legend is beginning to be fulfilled.
Those cultivators could still stay awake for the time being, but those mortals had already begun to panic.
The deepest darkness of human nature completely erupted at this moment, and those mortals began to fight with each other, snatching possession.
In their cognition, their lives are coming to an end, so do whatever you want while you still have time!
Fear drives desires, and a hopeless soul begins to go crazy, to degenerate, to self-destruction.
No one would ever think of going against fate, and they seem to have already accepted it.
In the face of those mortal riots, the major sects still chose to take action to maintain order.
Whether the legend is true or not, no one wants to see those people fighting each other until the last moment.
So the major sects sent their disciples to join those mortals and began to surround the order and save those who were injured.
Some people with advanced cultivation also went out one after another, and began to try to use their cultivation to fight against the power of heavenly thunder.
At first, the results were good, at least the chaos was under control, and there was much less thunder falling from the sky.
But as time passed, the black clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and the power of thunder became stronger and stronger, and the situation began to be chaotic again.
There were people who were constantly destroyed by the power of thunder, there were mortals and monks, and people began to panic more and more.
At this time, the people of the seven major sects of the Flood Desolation Continent finally let go of their prejudices, and they got together and began to prepare to jointly fight against the power of the Heavenly Thunder.
Those hidden powerhouses of the Void Realm finally appeared one by one and joined the ranks of fighting against the Heavenly Tribulation.
Once again, the situation was under control, but everyone knew that it was only temporary.
Sure enough, no one can stop the will of heaven.
On this day, the end has finally come!
It was already completely dark, because the black clouds had obscured the sky, and thunder began to explode in the sky, as if it were about to split the sky.
"Click!"
A huge thunderbolt exploded in the sky, tearing through the sky.
After the thunder, under the reflection of lightning, everyone seemed to see an incredible scene.
The sky is cracked!
A clear crack lay across the sky, so conspicuous, so terrifying.
Crying began to be heard, and it was these helpless mortals, uttering their last screams.
People began to miss all kinds of good things in the past, even if they were tired, even if they were bitter, they were so beautiful.
Because at least they're alive and can continue to see the sun.
It's so beautiful to be alive!
People are all about money, power, power and status, and they forget about everything else around them.
They don't even have time to have a proper meal with their families or look up at the sky.
The warmth and sunshine that they were accustomed to and always took for granted passed away on this day.
It is only at this moment that people realize that what is really extremely important to them is that they have always been by their side.
It's just that they forgot ......
So, they cried......
