Chapter 2049: Stopping
Wang Lin’s gaze, from that such as treading the sky above slowly retracted, the last glance, looked toward that between the ancient race and the immortal race, erected and rolled within the sea of the pale, that nine pillars composed of the door of the realm of the Swire God.
Just even with his cultivation now standing on that second bridge of stepping on the sky, looking at that ancient god realm, still can’t see clearly, it seems like the existence of this ancient god realm, far exceeds the ability of Wang Lin today.
Gazing at the sea of pallor that swirled like a storm, for a long time, Wang Lin closed his eyes, and the moment his eyes closed, his gaze disappeared into the Immortal Dipper Continent.
When he opened his eyes again, he was still standing in this unknown strange space, that huge second bridge to heaven, only when he looked down, Wang Lin saw that even though he was still standing on this bridge, he was not at the head of the bridge, but at the end of the bridge.
Seems like everything before, is he took those steps, walked across the bridge on the process of that moment, if the dream is not true, indistinguishable.
Looking at the bridge to step on the sky, looking at the distance that the third, fourth …… until the ninth bridge, and that after the ninth bridge, fuzzy illusory scenery, can not see, very distant, looking at, even the heart also feel distant up, as if this a bridge, represents a peak that can not be climbed, so that people in the peaks of the mountains, but can not help but heart to stop! The idea.
As soon as this thought was born, it magnified infinitely until it filled Wang Lin’s entire body, as if there was a voice in the bottom of his heart murmuring softly, telling him to turn back, leave this place, don’t go any further, and don’t walk towards the remaining seven bridges.
Wang Lin stood at the end of this second bridge, only need to lift a step, can walk down this bridge, complete step through the second bridge, but this last step, he is always seemingly unable to lift.
Time passes slowly, seems to have passed for a long, long time, Wang Lin is still standing there, looking ahead, his complexion is calm, but he sighed softly, his right foot lifted a step down, walked out of this second bridge, walked across this second bridge of treading the sky!
“Is it self questioning?…… If the heart of the Dao is not strong, if there is not a will to go against the heavens, if there is not a persistence that needs to be guarded with one’s life, perhaps, in this step, one should retreat.” Wang Lin muttered, walking step by step towards that distant third bridge of the Heaven Treading.
That third bridge, was very distant and very close, only Wang Lin walked for three days and still didn’t go under that bridge, he walked for another three days and it was still the same, another three days, looking into the distance, that third bridge, was still very distant and very close.
Until after the ninth day, Wang Lin stopped walking, he stood in place, silent for a moment jerked his head up, his eyes revealed a strange aura, slowly closed his eyes.
He didn’t use his naked eyes to see, didn’t use his divine sense to sense, but blocked his own divine sense in this closed eyes, didn’t look at the location of the third bridge, didn’t look at the direction of the third bridge, but raised his feet out of thin air and walked casually.
One step, one step, in the moment he walked out to the ninth step, he suddenly heard a burst of birds chirping around him, as well as the soft light through his eyelids, seemingly reflected in his pupils.
Between his nostrils, he smelled an aroma of earth after the rain, and that familiar feeling and scent that made him familiar, that was the flavor of wood shavings, and the pungency of tobacco.
His footsteps lurched.
“Tie Zhu, how’s the book reading going?”
“Tiezhu ah, you have to study well, next year is the county examination, you have no future, but all depends on this time, don’t be like me, this life will stay in the village, alas.”
“Okay, you chatter every day, if I say, our family Tiezhu must be able to pass the exam.”
That was his father and mother’s voice, this voice, separated for thousands of years, echoed at this moment, so real, as if it brought Wang Lin, back to thousands of years ago, that quiet mountain village.
Wang Lin stood there quietly, listening to his father and mother’s voice, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes unconsciously, there was a voice in the bottom of his heart, that voice constantly murmured, telling him to open his eyes, but to look at his parents.
But at the same time, Wang Lin’s heart also had the realization that if he opened his eyes at this moment, then he would be in this third bridge of the Treading Heaven, stopping.
The first bridge, melting the rules of heaven and earth within the divine consciousness, the second bridge, feel the eyes of Treading Heaven, but it is necessary to ask himself whether the heart is firm or not …… Wang Lin did not understand the use of this self question before, why that second bridge end, there will be such hesitation, but he now, understand.
This third bridge, perhaps is the heart of the devil, if the heart of the Taoist firm, all the way to go through, let the whole life such as the picture flashes, the mind does not move at all, then he will be able to walk through this third bridge.
But once he opened his eyes, he will need to directly face the heart of the devil, to face their own life, so, walk through the third bridge of certainty, will be infinitely reduced.
The voice of his parents in his ears was still there, and Wang Lin had more tears in the corners of his eyes, but he opened his eyes without the slightest hesitation at this moment, and in the moment his eyes opened, he saw a familiar house, a familiar courtyard, and a familiar table with food on it.
He saw a side, holding a smoking gun on the ground knocking a few times, full of age wrinkles father, saw his stern gaze, that belongs to the softness of affection.
He saw his mother, carrying a freshly heated meal, coming out of the house, with some gray hair in her hair, not much, hidden by the black hair, but Wang Lin still saw it.
Mother may not seem beautiful to outsiders, but in Wang Lin’s heart, mother, is the most beautiful, is a permanent shelter in his heart.
Looking at his father and mother, looking at the familiar scene, Wang Lin had a smile on his face despite the tears he was retaining. He looked at all of this in front of him, and after he opened his eyes, it slowly dissipated until it turned into nothingness, and he knew it was fake.
When this scene became broken, Wang Lin was still standing under the second bridge, away from the third bridge, far …… away.
His parents were not cultivators, they were just mortals who could not be resurrected, and reincarnation was the best place for a mortal to belong. But even if he was reincarnated, the memory that belonged to Wang Lin was eternal, and he wouldn’t erase it, because it was more important than his life.
“Perhaps, such as Wan Er appeared, I don’t know if I will continue to open my eyes after knowing that it is false ……
But with the appearance of my parents, I will still open my eyes even if I know it’s fake.” Wang Lin muttered.
“Who will set out that in the face of past memories, in the face of that illusory emergence, toward as if the existence of a heart demon, one must keep their eyes closed and pay no attention to it, and maintain a firm dao heart and not be affected by the heart demon.
Who to stipulate, must be firm heart of the road, can pass this third bridge ……
And who is to affirm that this is the only way to walk across this bridge …… “Wang Lin’s eyes flashed.
“Affection, love, friendship, is my Wang Lin this life the most precious existence, why should I close my eyes and not open, I want to open my eyes, but look at that everything, to open the heart of the Dao, to accommodate everything!” Wang Lin took a deep breath and walked forward again.
After nine steps, he once again saw his parents’ silhouettes, another nine steps, he saw Mu Bing Mei, Li Qian Mei, and Li Mu Wan. Another nine steps, he saw Wang Ping, he saw that poor child, pulling his hand, insistently, but seriously, he said to himself that he cultivated the road in order to accompany his father for the rest of his life, he didn’t want to leave this world with only his father’s lonely back, and if he really had to be lonely for the rest of his life, then he hoped that, next to his father’s back, he would still have his presence.
Wang Lin saw Situ Nan, he saw Qing Shui, he saw Transported Sky, he saw the old Vermillion Bird, he saw a lot of people who were kind to him, he looked at them, looked at that one face, he didn’t close his eyes, and walked all the way.
Big head, red butterfly, green frost, Zhou anonymous, Qing Lin …… and many other people, Wang Lin seems to be from the appearance of these people, recalled his own life.
All the way to go, Wang Lin did not control his emotions, he cried, laughed, pain, sadness …… step by step, he himself did not know how long to walk, do not know when to walk on the third bridge, and ultimately everything in front of him, all the smoke disappeared after he stood at the end of the third bridge, stood there, he sighed softly, turned back to look behind him. After a long time, he turned around and took a step, walking off the third bridge.
Far away, is where that fourth bridge is located, follow its look, in that farther away, the ninth bridge after the illusion, vaguely a trace of clarity, but Wang Lin still can not see through, he can only slightly see, seems that the figure within the illusion, is two people.
With a memory of a flashback, with that party cried, laughed, sad reminiscence, Wang Lin walked toward the front, a few days later, in front of his eyes, is that treading the sky fourth bridge.
This bridge, more massive than before, looks like a behemoth, exists in this strange space, a pressure is faintly dispersed, shrouding the surroundings.
Wang Lin looked at this bridge, after a moment of silence, he raised his footsteps, but in the moment his footsteps fell, his right foot directly penetrated the bridge, a step in the air.
At the same time, this fourth bridge of the Treading Heaven, in front of Wang Lin suddenly shook, turned into points of crystal light, disappeared at the same time, all rolled toward Wang Lin, swirling back into a vortex outside his body, forming a great suction withdrawal force that swallowed Wang Lin’s figure and disappeared here.
At the moment when Wang Lin was swallowed up, Wang Lin, who was meditating on his knees in the secret room of the Keidu Palace in Luo Shuju County, one of the twelve counties in the region of the Beginning Ancient Lineage in the land of the Ancient Clan on the Immortal Dipper Continent, violently opened his eyes.
His eyes showed confusion for a long time, and on his body, the killing true body had completely fused, indistinguishable from his body, without the slightest overlapping shadow.
Behind him, there is the light mass of the virtual origin floating, in front of him, is that the immortal emperor’s soul is wrapped by its soul fire refining, within the chamber, a quiet.
Only Wang Lin’s slightly rapid breathing slowly echoed.
“Treading the sky road, empty destruction road, immortal soul, all beings worship …… Treading the sky nine bridges, I have only walked over three bridges, in the fourth bridge, stop ……” Wang Lin took a deep breath, looked up above, the eyes of the confusion, gradually dissipated and was replaced by determination.
