Tianwei Chapter 361: Departure (2)
The so-called long river of power is not a complete space. It exists between reality and virtuality, so it is not easy to send people there.
After calming down, I walked between Tao Tiansong and Wa Mei, holding them one by one.
Do you want to say goodbye to her? I asked in a low voice.
Tao Tiansong looked straight ahead and shook his head slightly: Quietness is a good thing for her.
I nodded, and then heard him say: Treat her well.
Yes, I said.
The frog girl's claws were huge. When I held them, they were no match for a baby. Its skin was smooth and gave off a chill. I took a deep breath and then silently dispersed my will.
This is the only solution I could think of. Since we can't send people there directly, let them see it. As long as we see the road, we can walk on it.
Under the influence of my will, the long river of power appeared before my eyes again. It was more magnificent than before, with countless torrents of different colors rolling before my eyes, of varying lengths, but with no end in sight.
Is this the place? Tao Tiansong asked in a low voice.
I nodded and said: I can only send you here, you can try to see if you can get in .
He responded, then slowly took a step forward.
This step actually put him in that illusory space. I could feel his hand changing, no longer as real as before.
Tao Tiansong stopped and looked at this strange world. He couldn't help but sighed: What a magical place. I feel infinite power. Is this the origin of everything?
Maybe…I said.
He turned around, smiled at me and said: Remember, treat her well and don't give yourself the chance to regret it.
After he said that, he turned around and let go of my hand. Although he no longer had the support of Basuo's will, he had successfully stepped into that place.
I succeeded...
Quack...
I heard two calls from the side, I turned around and saw the frog girl looking at me with her big eyes.
When I saw it, I couldn't help feeling sad, so I drooped my eyelids and said: Go, follow him.
The little frog croaked twice again, then looked back. I knew that it was still looking for Jiaoye. To this day, no one can tell what the relationship between the little frog and Jiaoye is.
Judging from the situation of the fetus, they are obviously enemies, because the frog girl swallowed the essence of the dragon master. But from a human perspective, they are more like brother and sister.
Frog Girl turned around, stuck out her big tongue and licked me, then let go and followed Tao Tiansong.
The man and the beast took a step forward and gradually stepped into the river of power.
The colorful waves kept rolling, completely obscuring their figures. Even if I opened my eyes wide, I couldn't find them anymore.
I know that from now on, there will no longer be Tao Tiansong in the world.
I don’t know what their fate is, but I hope that I can see them again one day.
The will was withdrawn into the body, and everything returned to normal. There was no river of power, no them, only a few pairs of concerned eyes in front of him.
Success? The old Taoist frowned, and it was obvious that he was a little nervous.
I nodded and subconsciously looked at my hands. The warmth of Tao Tiansong and the coldness of Wa Mei still remained in my palms.
Will they... come back? Fanran lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
I don’t know... I shook my head, but I couldn’t bear to let her down completely, so I said: Maybe one day they will come back, after all, their physiques are different from ours .
She suddenly raised her head. Although she tried her best to hide it, the expectation in her eyes was still obvious.
Over the next few days, we waited and watched.
Maybe it really worked. The energy concentration between heaven and earth seemed to have decreased in the past few days, but the decrease was very small. I don't know if it was a psychological effect.
Although he and Frog Girl always quarreled whenever they met, Jiao Ye was obviously unhappy these days. He had a gloomy face all day and didn't say a word.
Five days later, Mr. Liao arrived, accompanied by two other old men. They were white-haired and wore clothes covered with white and black dots. If one’s willpower was not strong enough, one would feel dizzy just by looking at their clothes.
They are the contemporary masters of Xingluo chess, Mr. Liao introduced.
The old Taoist priest didn't even look at them, but walked to the edge of the platform with his hands behind his back and stood there looking up at the sky. I wasn't in the mood to chat with them, so I asked: What did you bring them here for?
The two chess masters did not get angry because of the attitude of me and Laodao, but they had a proud look on their faces, as if they were very great. I have seen Wudian, her Taoism, and even the great figures such as Yama of the Underworld and Qinling Tiandi. Even if the means of Xingluo chess are related to the Three Tombs, it is nothing more than that to me now.
The information of the world has been collected. In a few days, we will be able to fill the world with enough energy to activate it. Are you willing to go with us? Mr. Liao asked.
With you guys? I shook my head and said: You guys go, I want to stay here.
Young man, your courage to fight to the death is admirable, but there is no need to sacrifice yourself for no reason. A chess master spoke up.
Maybe, but it's also possible that I don't need to sacrifice. What's more... I looked at Mr. Liao and said: I don't believe you.
Mr. Liao laughed twice and said: You are right not to believe it, but this time, I did not lie to you. Controlling the world can definitely break through the shackles of heaven and earth. Moreover, in the world, we are immortals, we are gods, and we can achieve immortality.
Then I can only congratulate you on achieving the goal of immortality.
Mr. Liao shook his head, then looked at Liao Xianer and asked: Xianer, will you go with me or stay here?
This question surprised me a little. Because logically, he didn't need to ask it, but he did ask it. This shows that Liao Xian'er is no longer important to him. Whether to leave or stay is just a casual question.
Liao Xian'er looked at him and didn't answer immediately. Old Liao didn't urge him, but waited quietly.
I have found the past... she said suddenly.
Mr. Liao frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed his brows.
Liao Xian'er looked past his body and towards the direction of Zhonghuang Mountain: I saw my former self, my struggles, and all the misery. I know that I should have died a long time ago, but you released me from there. I should thank you, so I did a lot for you, but now... I don't want to leave here. The fate of a bee that loses its hive is death.
Liao Xianer's words were really surprising. She mentioned the word "die" several times in her sentences. I could see the darkness in her heart. Old Liao was not a fool. He naturally understood what Liao Xianer meant.
Since you don't want to, I won't force you. We will leave in three days. If you want to leave, you can come find me. Mr. Liao said.
Liao Xianer bowed to him and whispered: Thank you.
Old Liao stood there, accepting her greeting, and did not move for a long time. Although all his goals had always been to achieve immortality , and although he had always been using Liao Xian'er, I saw a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? This is a famous saying.
Old Mr. Liao just looked at Liao Xian'er like that. After a long time, he opened his mouth and let out a soft sigh.
A few minutes later, Mr. Liao and the two chess masters left the Five Elements Taoist Temple. It seemed that his purpose of coming here was just to inform us. I know that he was spying on the Five Classics and the Eight Ropes. But after getting a world, this ability from heaven is no longer important.
Why don't you go with him? I asked.
Liao Xian'er stood by and watched as Old Liao and the others disappeared down the mountain. The wind blew her hair, making her voice sound a little vague: This is my home, how can I leave...
I thought you were like real family.
We were real family before. She lifted a strand of hair that fell beside her ear and whispered: It was me who made him see those hopes. If he couldn't see the hopes, we would have lived a simple life just like what you saw.
Actually...I envy Fanran very much, she suddenly said.
oh?
Remember I said before that I really wanted to go out and walk around?
Yeah, I remember.
But now, I don’t want to leave, because I will know how tired I will be if I leave. She sighed softly: I am tired…
Her sigh seemed to come from nowhere, but she definitely had her own reasons. I was a little curious, what did she know and what did she see?
She gave an answer to this question.
I used to be a witch. She said: Ten witches raise and lower the heaven and earth, and control the elixir of immortality and the ladder to heaven. Chaos after chaos made witches lose their original status. She was unfair, and as her descendant, she chose another person. The reason why you are against her is actually because she is unfair to you.
The "she who is unfair" mentioned earlier refers to a person. The "she" mentioned later refers to my "mother".
Liao Xianer was not wrong. The reason she opposed her in the beginning was because of injustice.
Because she was cold to me, and because she destroyed everything in my "previous life".
Who is she? I asked.
Liao Xianer still looked at Zhonghuang Mountain with a calm expression: You should know who it is.
Yes, when she looked at Zhonghuang Mountain for the second time, I already knew who she was talking about.
When Chi You was resurrected, he also shouted "You are unfair". The target of his anger was none other than Nuwa.
The word "wu" originated from Chiyou.
Tao originated from Xuanyuan.
It is conceivable that something unknown must have happened in those long-ago times. Just as the old Taoist guessed, in places like Kunlun, perhaps there had been a war or some conspiracy.
The ancients were not as ignorant as we think. Since they possessed such great power, how could they not have wisdom that was equal to or even greater than ours?
I didn’t delve into this question too deeply because Liao Xianer’s words reminded me of her.
We both seem to have been in the same situation.
The most tragic thing comes from the people closest to you. This feeling is something that others cannot understand.
She was tired, and I was tired too. Otherwise, I would not have thought of going to the River of Power with Fanran, even if we could never come back.
When the heart is tired, the person dies. Even if one is awake, it is only a confused awakeness.
