Chapter 1608: This glance
After an hour, the illusory image gradually dissipated in front of the people on the merchant ship and dissipated in Wang Lin’s eyes. Those mortal crew members, one by one, still had lingering fears and were silent.
They couldn’t forget everything they saw within that image, especially when that volcano erupted, a piece of burning stone scattered in all directions, with such a large piece of it heading straight in the direction they were in, as if it could have rushed out from within that image and landed on the ship.
The scene that the real eyes were watching made them unable to distinguish between true and false, but they knew that it was the sea spirit getting angry.
Wang Lin leaned against the wall of that boat, seemed to have lost all his strength, those two lines of old tears left behind, swept through the folds of his face, soaked his clothes, he looked at the place where that picture disappeared, his whole person, at this moment his mind was blank, the only thing left was that picture, the white delicate shadow.
“This in the end is true …… or false …… is not even this, is also a dream ……” for a long, long time, Wang Lin Bowed his pale head, staring blankly at the sea.
Time passes, one month, two months, three months ……
In the ninth month of the sea, Wang Lin saw the true anger of the sea, that night, the dark clouds covered the sea of the sky, bursts of thunder roar, a lightning bolt interlaced, which there are even a few as if to blast into the sea in general, the sea and the sky, shrouded in a terrible light and dark.
Every lightning interlaced, will be the sea light, in that brief moment of brightness, can see the waves of the sea, and the violent sound of the sea water beat, seems to want to fight with the heavenly thunder!
The wind howling, a large number of seawater was blown to the ship, in this dark night, every sailor crew are in fear, in the life and death of madness, constantly each manipulate this merchant ship, struggling under the fury of the sea.
Each person, all in the heart worship, all in the heart want to go to leave the last words do not know whether they can see the next early sun.
The sea wind was raging, the sky was roaring with thunder, lightning was streaking, and the waves were huge.
In this late night, Wang Lin stood on the boat, dead grip on the side of the long pole, his body as if not under his own control, in the violent shaking, that the gale came, just once will his clothes all wet, wet white hair dripping seawater, but Wang Lin’s eyes, is bright as glory!
He looked at the fury of that sea, at the heaving of the seawater, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his heart expanded infinitely in this moment until it was enough to encompass heaven and earth.
“This is the power of heaven and earth, this is the true reason! This is the relentless ten-thousand elephants!” Wang Lin laughed long and loud, his pale laughter echoed in this heavenly thunder and tsunami, and even though it was weak, it revealed a vast aura within his heart and chest.
He looked around those mortals struggling in this life and death crisis, looked at this merchant ship violently shaking, as if at any time can be submerged and swallowed, looking at all this, Wang Lin in all people, felt that share of unwillingness!
Just this reluctance, or some weak, in this storm tsunami, is simply insignificant.
With that wind and waves more and more intense, in a big wave slap in the coming, a loud click, but see this merchant ship’s sail pole, directly by the waves broken, boom a sound directly down, a crew can not dodge in time, was smashed in the body, but did not get hurt too much, struggling to get up, continue to pull the boat rope, to go to the struggle for survival.
Only, this one in the sea fury of the merchant ship, as a lonely leaf, no any strength to fight against the roaring sea, in that time and time again under the big waves, the whole ship issued unbearable sound, seems to be about to collapse.
The air of despair permeated the ship, into everyone’s heart, Wang Lin also no longer gripped the ship’s pole, but ignored his old age, together with those sailors went to do their best to fight back in this furious sea.
“Do not give up, we still have the strength ……” a middle-aged crew, miserable smile in the dead grip on the sea rope, put down a sail, let the waves from the side of the beat, in that life and death, mouth sang out a sentence all the crew of the sea, all familiar with the sea ballad.
“Do not despair, we still have a dream ……” a less than twenty years old teenager, wipe away the sweat on his face, shouted loudly, seems to be in this shout, to find their own will dissipate the courage.
“Do not be discouraged, we still have tomorrow ……” more crew, under this stormy waves, in this heaven and earth roar, the voice echoed one by one, gradually fused together, forming a stream of life’s strongest counter tone!
“Do not give in, we still have unwillingness ……”
“Do not close your eyes, we still have to see the blazing sun ……”
“The heavens and the earth are vast, but they can’t cover our voice of survival, we go out to sea for a living, why do we fear death! The fury of the sea spirit can terrify us and drown us, but it can’t stop our sea ballads!”
All of the crew members, under the bombardment of this wind and waves, roared out this song that had been passed down from eternity to eternity in the sea of the Vermilion Bird Star!
That one voice, it revealed a dare, a defiance, a desire for life, and a fearlessness of death, and Wang Lin’s pale body, after hearing this cry under the thunder, his eyes revealed an even brighter light.
“This is a wave of rebellion! This is an inversion of heaven and earth! Life and death, life and death, this rebellious intent is bred in life and death, it is because of the unwillingness, the unyielding, there will be a rebellion! If there is no unwillingness, no unyielding, then there is no more life and death, life is life, death is death …… I understand!” Wang Lin’s heart and mind shook, cause and effect, life and death, truth and falsehood, he was always confused, never able to see completely through, but at this moment, in hearing the sea rhyme that was linked together, it was as if he had been enlightened, and his entire being came to a realization!
Life and death!
Like a mountain, to see life is life, to see death is death. Seeing life is not life, seeing death is not death. But in the end, after realizing everything, looking at life is still life, and looking at death, still death!
Everyone has a fear of life and death, and it is because of this fear that it can evolve into two directions, one being obedient and the other being contrary!
To be obedient to life and death is the first realm of life and death!
But if it is transformed into that rebellious intent, it will see that life is not life, and death is not death, which is the second realm!
The world often say, see through life and death, see through life and death, but in fact, there is no see through, life and death, it is not possible to see through, at most, only see the light life and death!
In that the reverse intention, contempt for life and death, so that you can say that life is also happy, death is also fear of the lofty words this is the determination to put it to death, but this, is by no means see through!
The third realm of life and death, but also Wang Lin pursued the truth, this last realm, the same is not to see through, nor is it a transcendence, but a sentence!
This sentence, in Wang Lin’s mind diffuse, but can not speak, seems to always have a layer of diaphragm within, so that he can not say.
In the storm, that sentence of contempt for life and death, a sentence of unyielding sea ballad echoed, gradually, the sky thunder dissipated, lightning far away, that the sea in the wind and waves, but also slowly receded, the night time long past, until the sky early sun raised its head, a sound of the aftermath of the disaster shout, in this boat constantly scattered.
Wang Lin looked at them, a smile on his face, sitting at the bow of the boat, looking at the early sun at the end of the sea and sky, he saw the white bird of prey, flying in that early sun, a hissing sound echoed.
Until the eleventh month of the sea, at the end of the sea, a continent was distantly visible, at the same time as seeing that continent, a burst of happy cries came out from the ship.
Waving his hand with these crew members who had accompanied him for nearly a year, Wang Lin left this merchant ship in the dusk with that sea rhyme from a few months ago and arrived on this strange continent.
Here, there were many mortal kingdoms, and there were also many sects with that or cultivators who seemed to have met before.
Among that one nation, there was one, called the Fire Burning Nation.
On this land that was separated from his hometown by the sea, Wang Lin looked calm and walked step by step into the unfamiliar heaven and earth, looking at the unfamiliar mountains, looking at the unfamiliar water, and looking at that which he encountered on the way, one unfamiliar face after another.
Even though he hadn’t come here in this lifetime, his name had spread to many places within these ten years or so, and had likewise spread to this continent.
Although it wasn’t as hefty as it was in his hometown, Wang Lin wouldn’t care about all of this, he was just like a traveler, in a year and a year, in this unfamiliar continent, he walked past a mountain, a mountain, and a city of a country.
In the blink of an eye, it was three years.
Nineteen years had passed since he left Zhao. Wang Lin’s body, too, was not as good as it used to be, but instead, fatigue rose, and in his hands, he held a walking stick, but still insisted, taking a step out.
Sect, he went to a lot, immortal cultivation, he saw a lot, the mortal world of the great emperors, he likewise saw one by one, gradually, his name, in this strange continent, was known by countless people.
Regardless of which country, regardless of which sect, people know that there is an old man called Wang Lin, for the contemporary great scholar, he traveled around the world, seemingly looking for something.
His words, with the age of the more old, began to less up, just often some time, he does not need to speak, just with its seems to contain the heaven and earth’s wise eyes to look at people, will let the other side confused in that day and earth, do not know when the awakening.
In the fall of the nineteenth year, Wang Lin came to a place that was filled with a large number of volcanoes, when he came, it was the time when a volcano was erupting, and from a great distance, Wang Lin could see the black smoke rolling in the sky.
Heat waves blew from a long distance away and landed on his body, Wang Lin lifted his head and looked at the black smoke at the end of the sky, his vicissitudes of his eyes revealed a softness that he had never seen before.
He saw that within that black smoke, a white shadow stepped out, that white shadow was a woman, her green silk was draped over her shoulders, she looked beautiful, she seemed to be collecting something from that volcanic eruption, in her hand she was holding a jade bottle, and in the midst of turning around, she saw Wang Lin on the ground in the distance.
This glance made Wang Lin unforgettable, making his body tremble, as if he had waited for this glance for more than a thousand years, as if he had waited for this glance for his whole life, as if he had come here just to wait for this woman, and now this glance back.
