Wu Gen woke up on a desert island. The sea in front of him was still the same, the roaring waves had not stopped, and the water splashed against the rocks. Nothing seemed to have changed.
His right hand was still tightly holding the handle of the knife, and his body was about to rise, as if nothing had happened.
That’s it, Wu Gen sighed. From the beginning to the end, he never left, didn't even cut a knife or take a step. When the two faced each other across the stone, he had already fallen into a dream. There was a dream within a dream, and he saw a dream within a dream, so that he easily fell into the sea of Yuan Xiang.
A drop of seawater fell on his face. Wu Gen stretched out his hand to wipe it away and tasted it. The salty and bitter smell quickly filled his mouth.
It should be true. This also shows that soul magic can transform everything, but it cannot perform soul songs. This is a way to judge whether you have fallen into an illusion in the future.
"Fortress leader." Beside him, Mo Zhibi held Wu Gen's arm tightly, with a teardrop still on his face, "I tried my best, but I still can't wake you up."
Feeling the booming business coming from Mo Zhibi's hands, Wu Gen signaled him to stop. Today's confrontation with Xianjiang seemed calm and peaceful, but in fact it was extremely dangerous. The huge consumption of the soul was too much for the physical body to bear. If Mo Zhibi hadn't been by his side, it's hard to say whether this body could have been saved or whether it would have collapsed as soon as he woke up.
"Help me over." Wu Gen tried to get up, but found that he had no strength at all.
Mo Zhibi helped Wu Gen stand up from the rocks and stumbled towards the Xianjiang River. The distance of more than ten steps, which used to be reached in a single jump, took the two of them to walk in the time it took a stick of incense.
On the black reef, Xianjiang sat on the ground with a gloomy face, his head tilted to one side, and his body slimmed down. It can be seen that performing such a spiritual technique is also a huge burden for him.
But the strange thing is that there is a smile on the corner of his mouth. The smile diluted the look of death on his face, making him not only less ferocious than a dead body, but also more peaceful.
In the sky, a ray of sunlight breaks through the cumulus clouds and shines directly on the reef. The beam of light was disturbed by the noisy waves nearby, making the Xianjiang River on the reef flicker and look a little blurry.
Wu Gen sighed and stretched his hand towards Xianjiang, trying to straighten his tilted head. As soon as his hands touched his clothes, Xianjiang's body suddenly shattered into pieces and turned into pieces of flying catkins.
In the warm light pillar, those elegant flying catkins fluttered lightly, shining brightly under the sunlight, and swayed upward against the light stream.
Bang, a golden ring fell to the ground, rolling on the ground, making a crisp sound.
Wu Gen gently placed the golden ring in his hand. This was the only relic left in Xianjiang. He left so resolutely that he left no dust in the world. Only this golden ring proved that he had been in this world.
The moment he touched the golden ring, a faint consciousness entered Wu Gen's mind. "Thank you." After a slight start, Wu Gen thanked him softly and took the golden ring into his arms.
"Let's go back." Wu Gen straightened up, supported by Mo Zhibi, and slowly walked towards the mainland.
"Abi, do you usually dream?" Wu Gen asked as he walked on the winding road.
"Of course I did." Mo Zhibi replied calmly.
"Do you think we are in a dream now or are we real?" Wu Gen touched the Qian Nian on his wrist and asked with a smile.
Mo Zhibi thought for a while and did not directly answer Wu Gen's question, "I heard the fish master say that every time we dream, we build our own world. Although it is a bit absurd compared with the real world, it is what we give to the world. The rules. Other people in the dream will not feel anything weird, but will take it for granted that they are real people in this world.
As for the current place, it must be the dream of a certain person or a certain god. We are born in it, and from birth to death, we act according to the rules of this world. For the world, this is the most real world. But for the dreamer, this is just an illusion. When he opens his eyes, everything will turn into nothingness.
Therefore, every mortal in the world can be said to be a god. As for whether we are in a dream or the real world, we can’t ask the world, we have to ask this world. "
Wu Gen stopped and looked at the mountains in the distance, the sea in the distance, and the road winding to the horizon. He suddenly laughed and said: "You are sophistry, no?"
If you chew it carefully, it makes some sense. No matter, whether it is a dream or not, even in a dream, we still have to live well. "
The two walked and talked, discussing all kinds of strange and weird issues, and Wu Gen's laughter could be heard from time to time. The laughter was hearty and easy, scaring away the seabirds hiding on the roadside.
After returning to Hengmen Port, Wu Gen stayed at home, firstly to recover his body, and secondly to digest the gains from the battle with Xianjiang.
With the help of Xianjiang, Wu Gen walked to Yuan Xianghai's golden palace for the first time. At that moment, Wu Gen almost thought he was going to die, but for some unknown reason, he came back to life safely. Although it is a bit inexplicable, the spirit villain has been completely reborn, his whole body has turned into gold, he is very strong and solid, and ordinary soul skills have no effect on him at all.
It's like it was originally a wooden tire that could cause damage with a knife or axe, but now it's been forged into an iron tire. In addition to encountering an opponent more powerful than Xianjiang, Wu Gen can already be proud of most soul masters in the world.
While Wu Gen was recuperating, Hengmen Harbor was also busy. From time to time, large ships of human beings came across the sea. According to Wu Gen's instructions, the navy issued a notice to them that Hengmen Port would no longer accept human beings for sale in the future.
As for those who had arrived, the Fearless Army compensated them according to the price, while these humans stayed on Zuoheng Road. If these ship owners were to bring them back, they might be sold to other ports.
Under the supervision of Ming Zheng, the shipyard has begun building a new ship not far from Hengmen Port. The bridge team has rushed from Liangzhe Mountain to Hengmen Port, and the funding from Modaomen has been secretly sent by Shen Lang. It can be said that everything is ready to form a fleet across the ocean.
The rear army has taken control of the northern part of Zuoheng Road. Ha Ying led his men to Gaoyuan City, the original main city of the Heita family. His subordinates were stationed in Panyan, Jinfu and other cities to guard against attacks from the north and provide cover for the formation of Zuoheng's army. .
As for the 7,000-man navy, half of it has been dispersed and sent to the rear army or Zuoheng Army. At the same time, preparations are being made to transfer men and horses from the rear army to eventually expand the navy to 10,000 people.
As a result, no troops in the Fearless Army are dominated by a certain race, and all are a mixture of various races. These were all carried out under the auspices of Chu Xi, and with the assistance of Ning Yuxi, Ming Zheng and Guyang Si who was far away on Yingke Island, the entire Zuoheng Road quickly recovered from the war and started operating in an orderly manner.
On the edge of the pool under the warm sun, Wu Gen, wearing a bamboo hat on his head and his feet in the water, was fishing with a pole. However, the hook under the fishing line is straight, without any bait, hanging one foot above the water.
Wu Gen stared at the fishhook motionless. He didn't know if it was because of the ripples on the surface of the water, but it looked a little blurry, and there was an imperceptible shimmer on the tip of the hook.
A fish swam over, glanced at the hook suspiciously, and then flipped its blue tail and submerged it into the water again.
A small turtle swam over, looked at the fishhook with its small eyes, but lazily left without any interest.
After waiting for a long time, the fish, shrimps, insects and birds beside this quiet pool were like passers-by at a post station, coming and going, stopping for a moment or turning a blind eye. Just like travelers in the long world, they meet together by fate, but the fate is shallow and separated, and they become passers-by.
Wu Gen was not at all anxious, just like a stubborn stone, watching the fate come and go.
Suddenly, a red fish came from the water and reached the bottom of the fishhook. It raised its head and stared blankly at the seemingly empty tip of the hook.
The red fish hesitated for a moment and kept swimming around the hook, as if to see this strange thing clearly. After swimming three times, the red fish finally couldn't restrain its curiosity and slapped its tail heavily on the water.
The water in the pool was splashing, and the red fish jumped out of the water lightly and bit the straight hook.
Looking at the red fish that kept wagging its tail, Wu Gen suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, then he pulled back the rod and swung the red fish into his hand. Until this moment, the red fish was still clinging to the straight hook, just like a child who found his favorite snack and refused to let go no matter what.
Holding the smooth body of the fish, Wu Gen stretched out a finger and lightly touched the fish's head. The red fish's body trembled, and its black and white eyes stared straight at Wu Gen. The red fish scales reflected the sunlight and shone in the air like rubies.
Wu Gen shook his head gently, smiled and carefully put the fish into the water. The red fish swam happily around Wu Gen at the water's edge, like a domestic dog, and his eyes seemed to have a little more agility.
"Since you are hooked, I will give you an opportunity. I hope you can get rid of the barrier of Qingtan as soon as possible and gallop through the huge ravines." Wu Gen waved his hand, signaling the red fish to leave.
The red fish nodded three times to Wu Gen, and Fang reluctantly turned over into the water.
Taking out the golden ring left by Xianjiang from his arms, Wu Gen sighed, his cultivation level was still a little low. Just now he used the method of visualization, which was to use his soul power to conjure up real objects out of thin air. This was also the soul method used by Xianjiang hidden in the golden ring.
A truly profound soul master can transform all things in the world with three thousand thoughts. Such a person is rare in the world and is the realm that all soul masters aspire to.
Wu Gen's current cultivation level is still far behind. Not to mention the three thousand transformations, even a small insect cannot take shape.
Yes, what he just visualized was a bug, attached to a straight hook, but it couldn't appear in the world. After coming and going, only the red fish saw his masterpiece and took the bait without hesitation, so Wu Gen transferred some soul power to the red fish to help it open up its spiritual wisdom.
With this step, this fish will no longer be confused like other fish, but will think about its own fish life, raise its head to look at the sky, and think about the world outside the pool.
Maybe one day, the red fish will step out of this clear pool that it originally thought was the whole world, and tentatively explore the wider world outside. It is impossible to say that a few years later, a race called the Fish Tribe will appear on this land, establish its own country, and become the leader of all spirits like the human race.
While sighing and sighing, there were heavy footsteps behind him. Wu Gen did not look back, knowing that Yang Zheng was coming.
"We have found Lu Lie's location. He is in Shule Province. He should have fled there with the people who moved there from An Si's family." Yang Zheng strode up to Wu Gen. During the last tribulation, he had thought of harming him. Among Wu Gen's people, only Lu Lie has not yet been executed, and the others have long since disappeared.
Wu Gen didn't have much emotion after hearing this. Lu Lie, who once had to be dealt with carefully, is now just a big grasshopper that has sucked the sap in the autumn, and will die after being twisted.
What he was worried about was Lu Lie's younger siblings Gao Zhen and Gao Han, who were once Lu Zhen and Lu Han. After all, these two people were by his side and had been together for a long time, and they were like family members. Especially Gao Han, the whole Xianwan City knew that Wu Gen doted on her very much.
After killing their brother, how did Wu Gen face the possible antagonism between the two. Moreover, there is Bu Kuan mixed in. Although this person rebelled against the Lu family, he did not join the Fearless Army. He guessed that the hurdle in his heart had not been crossed yet, so it was really a mixed bag.
Yang Zheng saw Wu Gen's hesitation and smiled slightly, "You don't have to be so entangled. You can use the opportunity of capturing Lu Lie to lure Bu Kuan to show up. The leader of the village will talk to him face to face. If you want to, just obey. If you don't want to, let him go." Even if you go, there will be less knots in your heart. As for Lu Lie, let Gao Zhen and Gao Han persuade him whether to kill him or not."
Wu Gen glanced at Yang Zheng in surprise. Normally, this man had dark hands and a dark heart and would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.
Yang Zheng spread his hands and said with an innocent face, "I originally wanted to look at the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. I am really a kind person, and I have never been bloodthirsty. I didn't expect the village leader to see me in the same way."
Seeing Wu Gen curling his lips, Yang Zheng chuckled, "Lu Lie is just a big gangster and can't accomplish anything. Letting him go will have no big impact on our Fearless Army. If we can get Bu Kuan, Gao Zhen, and Gao Han, this will Wouldn’t it be great to buy and sell?”
"Okay, you can come with me for a walk. Zuoheng Road has become peaceful. It's a good opportunity to take a look at the terrain of Shule Province and go back to Liangzhe Mountain to see what's going on in the mountains." Wu Gen put away his fishing rod and carried it on his back. He started walking towards his courtyard.
