Chapter 2 The Immortals at the Bottom of the Lake
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, which is an inevitable law of nature. At this moment, only the golden afterglow was left in the sky. The setting sun took away the scorching temperature of the afternoon. In the wasteland, the golden dead grass is even more attractive in the afterglow of the setting sun and the evening breeze.
At this moment, in the middle of this wasteland, in a rift valley that is difficult for others to find, or where there is no one here, the sunset is going faster, and the afterglow only extends to the upper half of this rift. The valley floor is already a little dark, the whole valley floor is quiet, the evening breeze blows gently, the coolness swirls in the valley, giving people a creepy feeling.
Suddenly, in the dim valley floor, a figure moved in the darkness, and then the figure slowly stood up as if it was holding its hand on the rock wall, and the more it went up, the more clearly it could see, until the figure stood up completely, leaning against the rock wall and gasping for breath.
He was Shen Hao who had fallen into the rift valley before, at this moment he was ragged, his whole body was dirty, blood was all over his face, his right hand was weak and fell, and in the dark, that arm was even darker, it was blood.
"Whirring ......"
Shen Hao struggled to move his right hand, his face was painful, and when he found that he couldn't lift it, he panted and laughed miserably.
"Am I going to die here?"
Shen Hao was bitter in his heart, looking at the wolf corpse on the ground, his heart was slightly better, if it wasn't for the wolf corpse under him, I'm afraid he would have fallen into flesh by now, but it was also a miracle.
"No, I'm not dead yet! there is still hope, I..." Shen Hao suddenly frowned and snorted bitterly, his face slowly showed firmness, he struggled to move his body, and observed the surroundings, it was dim, even if Shen Hao was not injured, he was afraid that he would not be able to climb up.
At this time, the sunset had already set, the sky had completely dimmed, a bright moon showed a corner on the horizon, the rift valley had completely darkened, Shen Hao's whole body was shrouded in darkness, and he could vaguely see him raising his head.
"It's already dark... This rift is too deep to climb up in my current state. β
"So..."Shen Hao's heart moved, and he dragged his body along the rock wall and walked slowly, there was no direction, just followed the rock wall, he couldn't stop, because he felt that the blood in his arm was still flowing, he was getting weaker and weaker, only a slight footstep, but in this quiet rift, it was a little out of place.
I don't know how long it has been, but the moon hanging in the sky has risen above the rift. The moonlight was beautiful, soft, and felt like home. The silver light shone to the bottom of the valley, illuminating Shen Hao's figure, although the figure was very down, but it revealed a sense of persistence. Shen Hao raised his head slightly, he saw it, it was a full moon.
"The dew is white from tonight, and the moon is the hometown of Ming. β
Somehow, this ancient verse echoed in Shen Hao's heart, he stared at the moon, his pale face gradually revealed sadness, and his eyes were a little blank.
"I can get out! and live... Definitely..."The sadness on Shen Hao's face was gradually replaced by firmness, and then he took a deep breath, and was about to continue walking, but by the moonlight, he saw clearly that there was a place on the road ahead where the white light was dazzling, I don't know if it was delirious or there was already one, Shen Hao seemed to grasp the straw that saved his life
"Get out there... Walk... Get out!" Shen Hao gritted his teeth suddenly, supported his heavy body, and continued to prop up the rock wall to advance. He kept walking, step by step, sweat on his forehead, half painful, half tired, and walked for a long time.
At this time, the bright moon was still hanging high in the sky, and Shen Hao, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped at this moment. "I... Walked out?!" Shen Hao's pale face was stunned for a moment, because he actually walked to the edge of this rift.
Shen Hao looked ahead in a daze, there was a lake there, the lake was sparkling, and the dazzling white light before was the silver light reflected by the moonlight on the lake, and then Shen Hao's face showed pleasure, and he gradually opened his mouth and laughed silently, or he didn't have the strength to speak out at all.
"Out... It's out!"
Shen Hao's expression showed excitement, grinned, very white, gritted his teeth and limped towards the lake to the lake, almost without much thought, Shen Hao knelt directly on the lake and scooped up a little lake water with his still movable left hand, splashed it on his face, and then his whole head was not in the lake, for a long time, Shen Hao raised his head from the lake water, and his hair was not long or short with a drop of water, which looked silver and dazzling in the moonlight.
Shen Hao's face was much better, he straightened the clothes on his body, gently wiped the wound and bandaged it briefly, leaned back for a long time, and lay directly on the ground. At this moment, he is no longer dirty, quietly looking at the bright moon in the sky. The wound was still painful for a long time, and he sighed softly, then sat up and put his head on the surface of the lake. Looking at the reflection in the lake by the moonlight.
"Huh? Is this me? Why do I look so much like an uncle?! No, I'm a good young man of the century at all!!" Shen Hao was messy in an instant, he didn't care about the wound, he was completely crazy at the moment, and his left hand pinched his face wildly, but the reflection in the water did not change.
"Little oneβ" Suddenly, the reflection in the lake spoke, and the old man's face seemed to twitch.
Shen Hao was stunned for a moment, his heart was cold, and he looked around, but there was nothing, but he didn't dare to relax, and looked around vigilantly.
"Don't look at it, the old man is in the lake. β
The voice was a little old, but when it reached Shen Hao's ears, it was like being struck by lightning. Shen Hao's face was pale, a sense of fear welled up in his heart, and his heart was even colder, "There are ghosts ?!! ghosts!!"
"Little one... The old man is not ......."
The old man's voice came out again, and he was about to explain, but Shen Hao was so frightened that he didn't hear it, and then he rolled his eyes unexpectedly and fainted.
The voice coming from the voice at the bottom of the lake saw Shen Hao fainting, he was stunned for a moment, his face twitched a few times, and then he sighed, "The current new generation, even this can scare and faint..."
"Hmmm?! no, he... He!He can see the old man?!" The sound at the bottom of the lake came from the place of surprise, and then laughed, "Hahaha! How many years!!! Finally waiting for someone who can feel the old man's existence!
Mortal life..."Then there was a long laugh, and the voice revealed endless killing intent, but if there were others, they would only feel that it was very quiet here, only... Cool...
The full moon quietly followed as the night passed, and in the early morning, on the horizon, a round of morning sun had completely revealed its face.
The early morning wind blew over the earth with a slight coolness, blowing across Shen Hao's face, and gradually covering his face with the light of the morning sun. Suddenly, his face distorted a little, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"It's... Where?" Shen Hao struggled to sit up, looked at the rising sun in the sky, and spoke softly. Immediately, he looked behind him, and a few feet away from here there was a rift, a wasteland far above. At this time, his hands tapped lightly on his head and laughed. "What, where did I fall and get crippled..."
"Huh?!"
Immediately, Shen Hao seemed to remember something, and moved his right hand. Shen Hao's face was shocked, and suddenly, he looked at the lake with a sparkling golden surface, and there were actually three lotus flowers growing on the lake's surface! Behind the lake is a forest with no end in sight.
"Little one..."
Shen Hao was shocked by the scenery on the other side of the lake, and suddenly, the sound at the bottom of the lake suddenly came out, and Shen Hao's face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to turn his head and run, the voice at the bottom of the lake came again, "Don't be afraid, little one, the old man is a fairy! You come to the lake, the old man has something to say. β
Shen Hao's expression was startled, and he changed again, he didn't hear the voice and said anything else, so he didn't care, but the sentence "The old man is an immortal" made him pause suddenly, and slowly turned around, his face was full of excitement, "You, are you really an immortal?" Shen Hao said softly with expectation in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, the sound at the bottom of the lake was heard again.
"The old man is a fairy!"
A voice full of domineering suddenly resounded through the world, but there was only one person who could hear it.
He is Shen Hao!
