A pale, dazzling light, as if from an ancient call of primordial immortals. With a deep, poetic singing, Wan and Feng were completely enveloped in a scene. The scene was like a white curtain, opening up the two personalities. You can't see me, I can't see you, all I can see is a pale curtain of light.
Kellen regretted not having held Wanxin's hand just now, because Kellen did not know where this dazzling white light could take her. Would it take Wanxin to a place where no one knows? Will you take yourself to a place where no one knows? Will it separate two people? Is that place cut off from the world? Are there any gods or demons? Could there be a god waiting there? Could there be danger? What about Elara if this place is really cut off from the world?
Kellen thought a lot and suddenly remembered her master, Tenmoku. Every time she was summoned by her master, Tenmoku, she saw the same scene. It's just that I haven't seen my master for more than ten years, and I don't know how he is doing now. The memory has been fading over the past decade or so, and the master's appearance has been fading in the memory. If I were to meet my master again, could I really recognize him at a glance?
This is a divine law! Yes, the same divine Dharma as Master Tenmoku! A brilliant thought suddenly rushed into Kellen's mind.
Could there be a chance to see Master here? Or, to see someone who is as supernatural as the master? Hehe... To be ashamed, Master has never mentioned whether he is a god or not, and I have never asked either. But in my heart, I regarded my master as a god. Even if there are immortals and gods in this world, the master must be a god, a true god, a god in the heart! Just as every child regards his parents as gods. Although the master is not her own parents, he has long been a god in Kellen's mind.
The moment the white curtain vanished, the greenish light first came into view. Then, a bluish-green, drifting figure flashed before my eyes, indistinct. That was Wanxin! The moment Kellen guessed, she had already floated past, a pair of hands, a pair of her own hands, had already taken another pair of hands, a pair of someone else's hands, that was Wanxin!
Yes, the slender hands were indeed Wanxin.
What is most feared when two people suddenly lose control in a different dimension? It's breaking up!
Breakups are often terrifying, especially when the situation is unknown and both are suddenly single, and no one could have imagined what kind of danger lies ahead. Kellen is worried about Wanxin, about Wanxin's safety. So he reached out his hand first and held Wanxin tightly, very tightly.
At a moment of life and death, what would it feel like if someone were willing to sacrifice themselves to save you and hold your hand tightly? Is it gratitude? Gratitude? Relieved? Rely on? Or the hope of life...
Wanxin also held Kellen's hand, very light, very gentle, and very peaceful. Kellen felt Wanxin's gentle palm tighten too. This "tightness" is like a moment of relief when someone takes your hand, gently patts the back of your hand and smiles and says, "Don't worry, it's all over." What do you think of looking into her loving eyes at this moment?
Is it comfort...
When the two regained their eyesight, Wanxin had only Jinlang in her eyes. She was already deeply buried in Jinlang's arms, as if the good times of many years ago had returned to her own arms in the blink of an eye. She leaned very gently, very gently.
Kellen, hugging Wanxin in a daze. He had no idea what was going on and his mind went blank. He held lightly, but his thoughts were not very deep. He felt that when danger came, he must protect Wanxin. It seems to be an unchanging truth that men are born to protect women, at least that's what Kellen thinks.
But there are two who don't think so. One was Wanxin in Kellen's arms, because she had to protect Jinlang. The other was Elara, who wasn't by her side, because she had to protect Kellen. There are others who don't think so either, those who are in love with each other...
"We made it." In Kellen's arms, the soft and melodious voice was as smooth as jade.
"What?" Kellen laughed. Because Wanxin was quiet and seemed to have no fear at all, it was safe here, as safe as home. As soon as the sense of danger was lifted, Kellen naturally felt much better. A pair of eyes fell on Wanxin's jet-black hair, full of comfort. A multitude of different emotions interwove together, and it's hard to describe them clearly.
"We've come in, haven't you noticed?" Wanxin's watery eyes flickered twice under her long eyelashes as she looked at Kellen, or rather, at Jinlang in her heart, feeling even more at ease. In Wanxin's eyes, this was the home of an old friend. Whether friends are here or not, the place remains the same, still so familiar.
"Come in already?" Kellen gently let go of her hands, because they weren't supposed to be held. Like a blooming lotus, it was born there, very wonderful. Even if a dragonfly were to land on a petal by accident, it would be considered incongruous, for it would be a desecration of the lotus. Kellen was like this, and he felt that his hands were already somewhat blasphemous. Especially after learning a little bit about Wanxin and Jinlang's past, this blasphemy constantly reminded Kellen.
What are these symbols? On the greenish walls, golden symbols were flashing. Some are like flowers and plants around, some are like strange birds, birds, fish and insects, some are as big as ancient beasts, and some are like the phantom carvings of ancient gods and demons.
Strings of golden symbols, shining and lively. All the way from the top of the head along the wall to the floor. A round alternate space that looks not like a pavilion, empty, but more like an ancient cave. The cave, however, is magical. No cobwebs, no reptiles. No soil, and no rocks. But there are many ancient and magical primitive writing symbols.
"These are astronomy! This is the life's work of the sage Kido!" A jade hand had already touched a string of gold inscriptions in the shape of flowers and plants. "What? You can't remember your old friend's alchemy furnace again? I was just as surprised when you brought me here. But I never expected that you would look even more astonished than I do now. Hehe...
These strings of astronomy are the incantation of the beginning of chaos, don't you remember?"
"Really? I really don't remember." Kellen was very surprised, surprised by what Wanxin meant. It was obvious from Wanxin's words that Jinlang seemed to have some knowledge of these special symbols.
Wanxin looked at Kellen helplessly, shook her head in disappointment, and her smile faded a lot. "In the past, I always asked you, but you were reluctant to tell me. Now revisiting the old place, the people are no longer the same as before, even such a mysterious astronomy, you have forgotten, it seems that the memory between us, you can hardly remember anything... Hehe, but it's okay. When I meet the immortal Mugu, let's see if the old man has any magical methods. I can't say --"
At this point, Wanxin suddenly stopped, pulled Kellen up, and joyfully walked into the "hole". As she walked, she urged, "Hurry up! Hurry up! This visit is definitely an accident. It's hard to say that the sage Kido will be overjoyed! Hurry up!"
The ancient primordial four divine beasts float faintly on the walls of the "hole."
The "hole" is round, and so is the wall. The greenish light, mingled with the glittering celestial rays, was densely spread out on the circular "hole" walls, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
The Azure dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Black tortoise, and the four divine beasts are also deeply engraved on the top wall of the cave, occupying the four directions of east, west, south and north respectively. The ancient engravings are vividly lifelike. The lines, the fur, and even the claws and teeth of each divine beast are clearly visible. These beasts are not the same as those enshrined in ancient shrines. Although they occupy the four directions, they do not have the original colors of the four divine beasts.
Their bodies were already ablaze with fire, blazing flames. The fire did not give off a shred of heat, but the flames, sandwiched between the walls of the "hole" where the blue and gold met, were particularly dazzling. So much so that the hair, scales and armor of the four divine beasts were set off very clearly, especially the pair of eyes on their heads, the vertical pupils, just like the eyes of the Nine spirits.
The four pairs of vertical pupils, shining with bright flames, seemed to be looking at Kellen with dignity. There was no malice in their eyes, but they were terrifying to look at. There was an upright look in their eyes, a kind of upright spirit that was too intimidating to look directly at. Having done nothing wrong, they are not afraid of the scrutiny of the four divine beasts. But when you truly stand under the gaze of the four divine beasts, will you repent?
A stern gaze, a hideous face. Like the sharp and upright blades shot out from the face of a fierce god, an invisible question: "Have you ever done anything wrong? Have you? Yes!" Kellen murmured, "Yes. I accept scrutiny, I repent." Kellen confesses what... Confessing feelings for Elara... Feelings? Yes, it is emotion. Emotion is, to some extent, a form of life.
Emotions are like flowers, like grass, like insects, like birds; they are all living. Will affection develop after spending a long time with Wanxin? With Elara in different places, will the relationship fade? Standing at the junction of love and the dividing point of love, standing in the sharp eyes of the four divine beasts, but facing the most sacred interrogation in the world, which side should you stand on? On which side? !
Kellen lowered her head, completely. Kellen did not dare to move forward fearlessly and resolutely like Wanxin. If it were Elara, she would surely have moved forward like Wanxin. Kellen did not look up, nor did she look up. He wondered: Could the dragon's claws have the power to tear apart the world? Will the white tiger's fangs never let go of any god or demon that blasphemes the way of heaven? How many evil hearts has the vermilique's strong beak pecked at? How many divine and demonic souls did Xuanwu suppress to fall into the eighteen levels of hell where there is no rebirth?
Standing in the eyes of the four divine beasts, Kellen is but a speck of dust. How could it stand up to the scrutiny of the Four divine beasts? So Kellen bowed her head, honestly and devoutly.
