Chapter 3 A New Beginning
I don't know how long it took, Jiang Lin slowly came to his senses. The blue sky and the sun are high overhead.
Finally came out, maybe I had been stuffed in the cave for too long, and when I first came out, I felt that the sky was so blue. Even the height feels a lot higher than before.
I touched my back, and my clothes were torn. Well, although the clothes have long been tattered, now there are really no tops. The pants have also become beggar's outfits. But to my surprise, there was nothing going on in the back.
How is it possible, before fainting, I felt that the skin on my back was broken.
Below him were grains of golden sand, and the sound of the sea could be heard in the distance. Standing up, I felt my body, well, my body is very good.
In front of you is the endless water, and you can only faintly see that on the opposite side of the sea is a mountain peak that towers into the sky. The sea breeze blows on your face, and you feel a slight coolness. The sea is a little muddy and there is no bottom in sight. Turning his head, there was a wilderness behind him, and there were no animals or plants. What the hell is this place, what kind of mountain is that. Such a high mountain, is it really a mountain? a mirage? Mount Everest? It's not that high.
What kind of sea is this? According to legend, in ancient times, the Shennongjia forest area was a vast ocean.
How did this get here? The mountain across from it? Or the bottom of the sea in front of you? Is someone playing a prank? Or is it a dream?
However, the sea in front of me is spectacular. In the distance, the waves were wave after wave, or 100 meters high. The two waves collided with each other over there, forming a column of water that soared into the sky. When the water column fell back to the river, the two tide heads had already appeared on the river in a cross shape, and quickly rushed to all directions. A natural cross dividing line is formed.
Or a wave of the sea swells together, forming a long zigzag, lifting to a height of 100 meters, and then smashing down to the surface of the sea like a big mouth closed. Some waves can form human shapes, tiger shapes, and so on. It's hard to get out of sight. Except for the mountain peaks that loom in the distance, all eyes can see is seawater. The sea, you are all water, and the horses, you have four legs.
The sky was unusually blue, with only a few white clouds floating around. The sunlight is not dazzling. The beautiful scenery in front of me washed away the hardships of most of my year. Either way, it's worth it to see such a beautiful view.
Well, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will be tired. Now the real situation is, what should be done. The backpack is long gone, and it can be said that there is nothing else except a pair of beggar's pants and a lighter in his pocket.
Now there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that there is no food and no drink. The good news is that now I am not hungry or drinking.
By the way, try seawater to see if you can drink it, it should be salty. When I tasted it, it was not salty, it was like inland lake water, it was fresh water. It's a pity that no matter how light it is, there is nothing to pack.
Let's hurry forward, maybe you can see the plants in the near future. No matter where it is now, under such suitable conditions, it is impossible for the ground to starve to death without anything growing here.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. Get ready to start, run. Stride forward.
I feel that my physical condition is getting better and better. I can't breathe for an hour. There was a tree in front of it, and there was a tree in the distance. The pace couldn't help but speed up.
Staring at the tree in front of you, what kind of tree is this? Is it a coconut tree? But is the coconut tree so tall? There are branches that are forked, and the knots are full of coconuts, and when you see what you eat, you definitely feel hungry. Coconut is a good thing, both to relieve drinking and to fill the stomach. Whether it's a coconut or not, the inside should be no different from a coconut.
Stop! Almost falling off the cliff, Jiang Lin is now standing on the edge of the cliff dozens of meters high, in a cold sweat. One more step, and it's down. In the distance beneath the cliffs are patches of woods, each tree full of fruit. It's autumn, harvest season. Without waiting for Fang Lin to finish sighing, he made another big discovery.
Jiang Lin covered his mouth, oh my God, it turns out that there are really wild people in Shennongjia. However, is this still Shennongjia?
Dozens of wild men knelt under the cliff. They were kneeling towards the cliff, Jiang Lin quietly stretched out his head and looked at the cliff wall, it seemed to be a mural, the angle was wrong, and he couldn't see it clearly. It seems that the savages painted murals, which is probably an inevitable product of the formation of language. Will there be a campfire dance in the evening? It's the equivalent of a live concert.
But what now? Duck back and wait for them to leave. There should be a time limit for worshipping ancestors, they will always leave, and there is no trace of their long-term life in this vicinity.
"You're the little savage they chose, and you're not bad at evolving."
Jiang Lin was taken aback and almost didn't fall off the cliff. An old Taoist priest appeared behind him, holding floating dust. Wearing a cyan caftan. Authentic worldly appearance.
"Who are you? Why are you scary?" "How did you get here, there is a Taoist temple here?"
Jiang Lin was annoyed at first, and then suddenly reacted, what is the most important question to ask now. Before his next question could begin. The old man waved the dust, and Jiang Lin lay on the ground in the blink of an eye.
Hallucinations, all hallucinations. Is this Chinese Kung Fu? Or is it a Qigong master?
"Hey, old man......"
"Silence" Lao Dao still shook off the dust.
Jiang Lin felt numb on his body, and suddenly found that he had become dumb, what is this, is it demonic art. Where the hell have I been? Is it really not on the earth anymore, or I have never understood the earth in the first place?
The old man sat back as if nostalgic until all the savages had left, and then got up and walked to Fang Lin's side. Lifting Fang Lin, he stepped off the cliff in one step, staring at the stone paintings on the cliff and pondering.
Fang Lin still couldn't speak, but he wasn't in a hurry. After more than half a year of training, it has also made the nerves bigger. What kind of kung fu can be done by stepping down a cliff dozens of meters high in one step?
There are three paintings on the cliff, the style of painting is primitive, but the meaning is simple and clear.
In the first painting, there is an immortal falling from the sky. The immortal's body glows and its head falls.
In the second picture, the immortal instructs the savages to plant trees and hunt. The immortal sat cross-legged on the ground, pointing his finger at the crowd.
In the third picture, the immortal sits high on a cliff, and a small savage stands in front of him. A group of savages below knelt down.
Fang Lin was secretly lucky, this luck was too good. With this appearance, he is a little savage. This third painting is certainly not a prophecy. Presumably, it should be an apprenticeship, or some kind of inheritance or commitment.
"The old man has spent hundreds of years teaching here, and he has come here every hundred years. After thousands of years of repaying the grace of saving lives, I fulfilled the promise in my heart. Let's go, little savage, the old man will send you back to the sect, and this will be the case. As for the fate of the savages here, it depends on your own efforts, or if you want to come back, you can't go back. ”
Lao Dao didn't wait for Fang Lin's reaction, he directly lifted Fang Lin again, and walked into the forest hundreds of meters away from the cliff in two or three steps.
Hundreds of ups and downs, stepping through dozens of woods. The former convenience is another wasteland. Lao Dao's figure slowed down slightly, still carrying Fang Lin forward. The wasteland is not without grass, and some animals and plants are constantly passing in front of you. At this speed, Fang Lin sighed, compared to getting on the green train.
This is definitely not on Earth anymore, and it is impossible for such a vast wasteland not to go without a single report. And this inhuman old way. The ups and downs of life are too fast, and it's so exciting....... But, old man, I'm going to speak, tell me where this is?
This wasteland is too vast, after sunset, the old road did not stop, until the sun rose again, and the old road carried Fang Lin as if through a layer of enchantment. A large grassland suddenly appeared in front of me, with grass that was mostly half a person high, scattered with some trees tens of meters high, and the air exuded the unique fragrance of the grassland. The steppes are teeming with a variety of large animals. This kind of I know, Fang Lin finally saw a familiar figure, well, this is the Tyrannosaurus rex. Fang Lin's eyes almost fell, it was a dinosaur. An advertisement suddenly flashed in Fang Lin's heart, and the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has a good effect. Well, I still like long dragons, and if I can see them, they will be ....... Fang Lin was secretly excited in his heart.
"The old man rests for a while" Lao Dao walked through the barrier, and seemed to spend a lot of strength. After speaking, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
The mute Fang Lin didn't dare to make any small movements, just looked around.
I know this grass, a dog's tail grass more than one person tall. I also know that bamboo is tens of centimeters high. This is a bamboo seedling, why is it so short and still blooming?
It was another sunset day, and Fang Lin was hungry and drunk. I scolded thousands of times in my heart, and you have been too long for a while. But I still don't dare to make too many moves, if this old way is frightened by me, then what will I do to live on this grassland?
The scene of nature's survival of the fittest in front of you, if you are in a movie theater, it will of course be enjoyable. Avatar or something, weakly exposed. But now that it's happening right in front of you, you're still a lamb to be slaughtered, and it doesn't feel so good.
"Alright, let's go. The old man is not interested in explaining it to you, but you will understand later. Lao Dao seemed to see Fang Lin's state and stuffed a pill into Jiang Lin's mouth.
The pill melts in your mouth.
After a while, Fang Lin recovered with full blood. Damn, compressed biscuits?
Lao Dao mentioned Fang Lin and shouted "go" in a low voice.
Fang Lin's eyes flashed. The surrounding scenery is completely changed again. Fang Lin, who was used to it, looked around.
It seems to be covered with a layer of cotton, which should be clouds. The feet are full of stones, and the top is blurry and unclear. I should be standing halfway up the mountain again, and the height is different. What kind of means is this? Is it close to the cliff?
"The Great Elder is back" A gate appeared above him at some point, and the two boys in front of the door bowed down to say hello.
"You take him up the mountain, and if he has learned something, he can let him go, and if nothing happens, then let him stay in the sect for the rest of his life. Don't worry about it, just let him do it"
"Yes, follow me up the mountain," a little boy bowed down again and replied, then turned to Fang Lindao.
"That's all you and I do. Maybe it's the old man who took you out of the wasteland and left you a life-saving means" The old man patted Fang Lin on the body, and continued, "The old man has finally been fetted up, and he can finally go to find that trace of immortal fate without worry, and the possibility of returning to this place is almost none, and the possibility of you and I meeting is even rarer." ”
"Dao Chief, is the place where I came from a wasteland? how can I go back again" Fang Lin found that he could already speak, and he didn't care at all about what life-saving means he had, and asked the question he was most concerned about.
The Dao Leader seemed very happy that Fang Lin asked this question.
"I hope you can bring a different future to the wasteland. If you have the ability, you will know later. I can't afford to go back, and it's a blessing to die here. Before the words fell, the figure of the old Taoist had already dissipated.
Fang Lin looked at the place where Lao Dao had left, a little sad. This is the first person he has seen when he came here, and it has only been a few days, but he has a feeling of family. When people are most helpless, they can be trusted to grasp anything.
Anyway, I'll go back to the moor, and I owe it to the savages. We'll see each other again, I'm sure.
Jiang Lin clenched his fists and thought solemnly.
Since you have come to this world, you have to pursue it a little. The starting point is right in sight.
