Chapter 18 Ruthless
Once this thought emerges, many speculations will involuntarily arise in Feng Yan's mind.
If she was surging down the black and turbulent river at this moment, would there be a bright and clear spiritual river flowing quietly underground at the end of the weak water?
She remembered that the Heavenly Master once said that although all living beings in the world will merge into the Spirit River once they touch the Spirit River and disappear immediately, after the Spirit River fades, the once soaked land will become rich and fertile again.
Now that I think about this, Feng Yan suddenly felt the ruthlessness of the Heavenly Dao from it. When the Linghe came, the skyrocketing water swallowed everything. After the Linghe left, it left new vitality. Life seemed to have been forced to change its form. As for the difference between the original and the later ones... Will the Heavenly Dao care?
Probably not.
Feng Yan's fingers gently tugged in the wind, as if she had understood the wonderful piano sound again at this moment.
The vast water vapor came to his face. Feng Yan heard the loud noise of the storm of the shore, and suddenly a wave of unspeakable desolation emerged in her heart. When facing the extremely large, extremely deep, extremely high and extremely vast world, the insignificance of her own existence suddenly became obvious.
This sudden sadness was accompanied by a trembling excitement - the mystery of the world was like a painting, spreading slowly in front of her. This was the experience that the world in the courtyard and the back garden with flowers and plants flourishing will never bring to her.
...
Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen were walking along the river. The places they stepped on were brought into a dull white halo - the river sand that appeared when the weak water temporarily retreated. When they moved away, the white river sand once again merged into the boundless black river bank.
"If we walk from here step by step towards Youdu Mountain, walking without food or sleep, and walking day and night, how long will it take?"
Wei Xingzhen frowned slightly, "I don't know."
"No need to be too precise, what about?"
"Maybe it will take a few years." Wei Xingzhen was not very sure, "It could also take decades, or hundreds of years?"
Feng Yan looked at the distant sky thoughtfully. In the endless thunder and the lightning that illuminated the sky and the earth from time to time, she could vaguely see the outlines of the mountains.
She sighed softly and smiled, "That's true...you can't just walk slowly like that."
Wei Xingzhen glanced at the silent swaying red river bank in the distance, "I originally thought A Yan would like the flowers over there..."
Unexpectedly, Feng Yan's attention seemed to be completely attracted by the weak water here.
"The flowers are beautiful, and the river bank is beautiful," Feng Yan replied in a low voice. She looked at the land under her feet, "It turns out that Xingzhen grew up in such a beautiful place-"
Before he finished speaking, a thunder rolling in the dark forest in the distance fell in the dark mountains and fire suddenly lit up halfway up, and countless birds of swallows were startled layer by layer. When the fire became more fierce, Feng Yan saw countless giant birds spread their narrow wings and emerged from their nests.
"It's also very dangerous." Wei Xingzhen added, "But it's nothing to A Yan."
Feng Yan looked at Wei Xingzhen sideways, "Why?"
"There is no one in the realm of human concentration - even those monks who ascended the Tao, there are only monsters here."
The giant bird with black wings spread in the distance flew over Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen's heads in an instant. It was obvious that several birds had noticed the two people walking on the river bank. They suddenly dived and opened their jagged bloody mouths towards Feng Yan.
This sudden change really shocked Feng Yan. She instinctively raised her hand to disperse, and several black giant birds were instantly overturned and fell into the weak water nearby.
Before they could cry out, the black river water had swallowed everything.
More than a dozen giant birds who were stopping in the air and watching quickly flapped their wings and left.
The wind flapping its wings of the birds brought a gust of air. Feng Yan turned around and looked at the shadow of the birds leaving. She couldn't help but cover her heart, "...it scared me."
Wei Xingzhen smiled and pulled Feng Yan up and ran on the river bank. A fire ignited from his forehead. When Feng Yan came to her senses, she was already riding on the back of a red fox.
Wei Xingzhen was like a horse, and was running towards the higher sky in the wind.
Looking down at the earth from the air, everything on the ground shows a breathtaking beauty. The red flowers swaying in the wind are like magma rivers. They bloom along the river bank and complement the Mars stirred by weak water.
Feng Yan held Wei Xingzhen's neck and pressed her face against the fluff on his back.
Everything was retreating quickly, and retreating faster and faster.
Except for the outline of Black Mountain in the distance, everything in front of Feng Yan is becoming blurred.
...
It’s already dawn in Luoyang City.
Going Shihe Bushen Jue quickly jumped between the branches of the banyan tree with a handful of cold clothes. When he approached the west of the city, he finally saw the person he was looking for. Feng Yuandao and Di Chengweng were nestling in a secluded corner to play chess. Not far away, Li and many women of her age were making porridge in the open air.
More young people are using various tools to dig the land under the root system of banyan trees. If they can pierce a wall and dig a hole that can penetrate people, they can rescue some living equipment and life-saving food from these houses that have been crushed by banyan trees.
When he went to the ground, he looked on the left and on the right, but decided to talk to Feng Yuandao first.
"Master, do you send someone to us in the morning and have something to do?"
——This morning, someone came to deliver a letter from the west of the city, saying that Feng Yuandao and Li asked Wei Xingzhen to come over. If he was busy, he would be fine to send a reliable person to come.
The person who came to report the news did not say why they were here. In order to prevent any work they had to do, they called him not to rely on when they came.
But this situation seems...
"General!" Feng Yuandao was intimidated and raised his hand to smash the chess in his hand against Di Chengweng's chessboard. Di Chengweng sighed lightly and shook his head with a smile.
Go and take a few steps closer, "Master-"
"What are you going?"
Li's voice came from behind, and he turned around very much. Before he could salute, he felt that Li had slapped something on his hand.
"You can hand this thing over to Wei Xingzhen and let him think about how to deal with it."
"This is..." Just as Going to open it, his hand was suppressed by Li.
"Please hold it." Li said softly.
Gigi was stunned for a moment, "I... my adult is not here now, and I don't know when I will come back."
"Who are there now?"
Go Jin scratched his head, "Earlier last night, there were quite a lot of people. My master and wife were there, including Du Tianshi, Lord Chen from Ping Yao Office, Fifth Master and Miss Seven, but now--"
"Leave it to Master Du Tian, Lord Chen," Li ordered, "These are houses in Luoyang of Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. Each house has a lot of food, and the old Duke kept it for the court to rescue the court."
