21. Fairy(1/2)
Time jumps back to five years ago.
Chen Qiu defeated the ancestor and said goodbye to Lao Zhang. The moment he carried the smoke that had not yet dissipated on his body, he held the big orange cat and stepped into the glittering world gate of the stars.
That door is quite strange.
Just like a mirror reflection, outside the door is the vast sea of stars, just like stepping out and stepping into the sea of stars.
But in fact, this is not the case.
Chen Qiu hugged the cat and walked into the boundary gate. He felt like he had walked into a bizarre world, like an infinitely lengthened tunnel, filled with arcs of various colors around him.
There are also reflections of the screen in those arcs.
Looking closely, those pictures reflect Chen Qiu's life pictures, one by one, just like a record, recording all his experiences.
This tunnel seems to have no end.
Chen Qiu walked in it, not knowing that it was a quarter of an hour or a day, but he couldn't find the exit until the cat in his arms was a little impatient.
It hissed, swayed its tail and jumped down from Chen Qiu's arms, landed on the light curtain, walked forward for a few steps, stopped again, looked back at Chen Qiu, and screamed softly.
It seems to be telling him.
Rookie, keep up!
Chen Qiu shrugged without hesitation, followed the fat cat forward, still in a tunnel of streaming light, and seemed to be walking in a straight line, but it was like walking in a maze of fog. Without the cat, you would never want to go out.
After a few moments, light and shadow flowed.
The reflections of the flowing light gathered were like being twisted up by an invisible big hand, and then roughly kneaded into a ball, then suddenly pulled apart, and the fragments turned into stars, wandering in the light, turning into a tall door.
Extremely peculiar.
It has a very ancient style of the world of autumn, like a gatehouse, quiet, without sound, only the ground is like water, without any slight tide.
The pink light floats in the distance, making people feel at silence.
This scene is vast and extremely quiet, and it is quiet.
Chen Qiu followed the fat cat, and each person and the cat stepped on the water surface and walked forward. Whether it was the cat's claws and feet, it would cause a circle of ripples on the water surface that was as quiet as the mind.
When he walked past the gatehouse, Chen Qiu looked back with some emotion.
After the gatehouse, where he had just walked, he saw himself, and the other person was still led by a cat, but walked in the opposite direction.
Is this an illusion?
"No, this is not an illusion, it's just a soul-stripping, a very simple black magic that any wizard will use."
Chen Qiu's doubts were answered in the next moment.
It was as if people knew it, which made the warrior suddenly startle and he also posed a boxing technique in his hand. But when he turned around, there was another person in the deadly scene where there was still no one just now.
The man was floating on the ground a few inches away from the ground, wearing a weird black robe, which was very similar to the one that Lao Zhang liked to wear. The hem was divided into four directions, and it was like the wind blowing, swaying beside him.
A bit like a lichen
But this outfit is a bit powerful.
There are various runes shining on it. Although Chen Qiu can't understand it, he instinctively feels it is very powerful.
There were two red silk decorations on the man's shoulders, hanging down in front of him, not moving or tilting, and a bit solemn.
A silver pendant like a small crown hung around his neck, with the collar in a collar shape, making him look gloomy, and a strange and decayed beauty like a **.
The most peculiar thing is that there are two things floating around him.
A book.
A sword.
Books are a fantasy style of thick leather books, with thick covers and chains wrapped layer by layer, while swords are even more peculiar, not Eastern style or Western weapons.
It is hard to describe, but the sword structure is like an animal bone and the sword is a sharp tail like a cross spear.
As for the sword body.
Just looking at the sword body, its sharpness cannot be ignored. However, the sword body that should have been smooth is like a broken and reshaped scar, just like a scar on a warrior.
Not only did it not destroy the strange beauty of this sword, it added a hint of fierceness and courage to it.
This must be a peerless blade.
What's even more amazing is that when Shen Qiu looked at this sword, the sword was also looking at him.
It has its own will and its own mind. It uses a higher creature to look at the lower creatures, coldly looking at Chen Qiu and examining him.
"Well, it likes you."
The man chuckled, stretched out his fingers, stroked the hilt of the sword floating beside him, moving his fingers like playing the piano, and said to Chen Qiu:
“This is not ordinary.
Judas is a very picky weapon. After he forged it himself, he never liked anyone else, and even my master, he didn't like it."
"I don't think it likes me."
Chen Qiu said with his lips:
"And I doubt what kind of person is who would name his weapon Judas."
"Believe me, it does like you."
The man in front of him picked up the fat orange cat with his head rubbing his trouser legs, stroked his ears in his arms, and slowly said to Chen Qiu:
"It has proved that before Judas, he has pierced his heart and soul, that he really likes you, and this love even overwhelms the mission of destruction that he was born with.
Today is not a good day.”
The man tilted his head in a joke voice and said to Chen Qiu:
"It's really dismaying to find my treasure weapon, I want to find my master again. Let's get to know you, my fellow villager."
He made a joke and stretched out his hand to Chen Qiu.
explain:
"I'll introduce myself. My name is Merlin, Merlin Riley, the incarnation of this star, in other words, is the "landlord" of your small world, the place where you rent it."
This sentence is ordinary, with a cynical meaning and a bit kind.
But Chen Qiu's brain was shocked.
He looked at the white hand that reached in front of him, raised his head again, and looked at the person in front of him, just like before, and could not remember his cheeks at all. Every time he moved his eyes away, he would forget his appearance.
I can only remember those eyes.
Starry eyes.
but
"Members?"
Chen Qiu asked in surprise:
"You, so are you"
"Yes, I came from there too."
The god named Meilin chuckled. When he saw Chen Qiu not reaching out, he simply floated forward, grabbed Chen Qiu's hand, and shook it a few times, just as he regarded it as the etiquette of meeting for the first time.
"I come from the same place as you, not just you and me, but many people come from there, from outside that wall, the soul that should have restarted a life, unfortunately got involved in the void.
Like you, I was rescued from the void by other fellow villagers.
Like you, I completed my own rebirth ceremony in a new world.
Don’t doubt, Chen Qiu, I’m here to wait for you in order to witness a friend and brother who has never been concealed and complete his “coming-coming ceremony”.”
He waved his fingers, and the silent and peaceful scene around him suddenly changed.
It was like a huge building block was broken up and reorganized. The world around it changed rapidly. A vast crowd of stars were revealed in front of Chen Qiu's eyes in the blink of an eye.
They were sitting on a boat that was heading for endless times, but the boat itself did not move. As the sea of stars around them continued to change like building blocks, they came to a strange place after a breath.
A burning stove.
Just hanging in the center of stars, there is a world as big as a world.
The golden fire and rolling heat were discharged from the exhaust pipe of the planet's furnace, and in a form that Chen Qiu could not understand, sprinkled through space barriers, evenly spreading these heats in every corner of the stars.
Even if it was the first time I came here and saw such a miracle for the first time, Chen Qiu knew that this was the core of these stars, and it was it that supported the thriving development of the entire universe.
Merlin's story continues.
It seems that the scenery in front of him is commonplace for him.
“I have great confidence in you.
Although there was a little "problem" in the process of your birth in that world, I still have confidence in you. I know that you have some excellent potential shared by us outsiders.
I know that you can choose your own destiny and be able to accomplish it alone.
I also faced such a choice, but unfortunately, at that time, there was no merciful guy who said "no" to me. I could only be pushed away by some jokingly malicious forces like a puppet.
