"Mother......"
Xu Qing looked at the desert in front of him and listened to the words from the Aurora Immortal Lord walking in front.
Maybe it's the waves from the body, or maybe it's the meaning contained in these two words.
Unconsciously, his consciousness rippled with a remembrance.
In front of his eyes, the ancient continent of Wanggu appeared, and the Peerless City appeared.
The unparalleled city in memory, the parents in memory.
The beauty in the memory, and the rain of blood that can't be dissipated.
He thought of his parents.
It may be that she has gone through too many mountains and rivers, or she may have experienced too many things, so that Xu Qing now reminisces about her parents, only to find that in fact, there is only an outline left.
But the gentleness emanating from this silhouette is an imprint that cannot be erased from any mountains and rivers, anything, or any experience.
Eternal imprint on his heart.
Just like people are often unsure of who they see for the last time at the moment of death.
But when you come to this world, you must be surrounded by parents.
"Mother......"
Xu Qing murmured.
At the same time, the body on which his consciousness was stationed also instinctively appeared the memory from the host at this moment.
In my memory, my mother also became a vague outline, and I couldn't remember it clearly......
Just like Xu Qing's own memories.
The two, at this moment, resonated.
This resonance was like a wave, churning the sea of the heart, fluctuating time, spreading across this desert, and then undulating.
became part of the desert.
And the voice of the Aurora Immortal Lord also slowly echoed in this time desert.
"Your mother and I met in our hometown."
"She is my junior sister, the seventh disciple of your grandfather."
"At that time, although the sky also had the sun and moon, it was not what we see now."
Aurora Immortal Lord spoke softly as he moved forward.
His words seemed to be said to Xu Qing, and they also seemed to be reminiscing about themselves.
The breath on his body also echoed with the words, with more vicissitudes and more memories.
"My hometown at that time was actually just one of the countless small worlds in this fifth star ring that was kept in captivity by the gods."
"Live there, worship God, be enslaved by God, and live in woven bones."
"So even the sun and moon above my head are naturally gods, to be precise, the light of the sun and moon invades all the small worlds."
"And they, the supreme name of God scattered throughout the small world, are the sound and the haze."
"Those years were painful, but because of your mother's existence, I was happy again."
The Aurora Immortal Lord had a gentle voice and murmured.
Xu Qing followed behind and listened silently.
He knew that the Aurora Immortal Lord at this moment only needed to listen.
"We practiced together, we grew up together, and then we met Jiu'an."
The Aurora Immortal Lord shook his head, and the remembrance on his body was even stronger.
"At that time, Jiu'an didn't change much from his current personality, he liked to be silent, like to observe, and like to record."
"Your mother called him the Great Historian, and he agreed with this title, so for many years after that, he called himself a historian."
"Stupid."
Aurora chuckled.
"Just like that, the years pass......"
"What happened later is known to you in the historical texts."
"In the last years of the Divine Chronicles, under the leadership of your grandfather, the entire small world of the Fifth Star Ring launched a rising battle against the gods."
"That battle was extremely tragic......"
"And you were also born in those years, but your mother and I didn't want you to see the world was chaotic, so we sealed you."
"And make an agreement that when the war is over and the world becomes better, you will be unsealed, so that the world you see for the first time will be gorgeous, peaceful, and godless."
"Let you live in a beautiful life."
The sound of the aurora echoed in the time desert.
It's just that in that voice, sadness slowly stained in reminiscence.
"And that war that lasted for many, many years finally ended, and we, as monks, completely rose up and suppressed the gods who were originally high."
"The sun and moon in the sky have also fallen, replacing the yin and yang of our Tao."
"But...... By my side, there will always be a figure missing."
"Your mother has fallen."
Xu Qing listened silently.
It was obviously someone else's story, but whether it was the waves in this body or the resonance in his consciousness, Xu Qing could feel this sadness from the host and the aurora.
"And I, for some special reasons, fell into a deep sleep."
"This sleep is ten thousand years."
"When I wake up, everything cannot be changed, and the constitution of time and space will eventually have the ultimate ......"
"Three thousand three hundred and thirty-three years, this is a time and space boundary of all the star rings in this universe."
"So, when you were sealed, it was me and your mother, and when you broke your seal, it was only me."
The low sound drifted through the heavens and the earth, and the footsteps of the aurora stopped.
A sea of flowers came into Xu Qing's eyes.
It was a sea like a fantasy, with countless colorful orchids blooming in the desert.
Beautiful.
It is hard to imagine that there are such orchids in the desert.
At least, Xu Qing did not see it when he came to this desert on the day in the future.
As if this is a secret hidden deep in the desert.
As far as the eye can see, these orchids come in a variety of wonderful shapes and colors, some resemble fluttering butterflies, while others resemble cranes spreading their wings, each exuding a unique fragrance.
Especially at this moment, with the arrival of Xu Qing and the Aurora Immortal Lord, it seemed that the sun was shining on the sea of orchids through the sparse clouds, and the golden light was permeated, unknowingly, adding a bit of mystery and romance to this sea of flowers.
There is also a breeze blowing and the sea of flowers swaying.
Like a dream.
vaguely, there seemed to be a fairy, staring at the father and son in the sea of flowers.
A soft murmur came out, revealing a gentle smile.
So the Aurora Immortal Lord, looking at the sea of flowers and the fairy in his memory, also smiled.
Smiling and laughing, he walked to the edge of the sea of flowers, squatted there, and took out some seeds from his arms.
At this moment, he was not the high-ranking future venerable of the fifth star ring, nor the lord of all immortals with astonishing cultivation, he was just an ordinary person immersed in the memory of his deceased wife.
Here, he planted those seeds in the desert.
They will definitely bloom.
"There is an orchid character in your mother's name, and she also prefers fairy orchids."
"This kind of flower cannot be stained with the breath of the gods, it will wither quickly...... But this kind of flower, in our small world, is obviously heterogeneous, but it has never disappeared."
"Even if it withers, it will start again."
"So we once dreamed that when the war is over and everything becomes better, we will find a place to plant fairy orchids and make them bloom all year round."
"Over the years, every time I come here, I will plant some."
"Gradually, it did become the sea."
The Aurora Immortal Lord smiled and murmured, gently stroking the place where the seeds were planted with his palm.
Then, he sat aside, looked at the sea of flowers, and stopped talking.
But the smile on his face became more and more gentle.
Xu Qing looked at all this, silently walked to the side of the Aurora Immortal Lord, sat down with him, and looked at the sea of flowers.
Time passes slowly.
When the sunset appeared on the horizon, the Aurora Immortal Lord spoke softly.
"You have grown up and are about to get married."
"In the future, when I have no free time, you must remember to come here every year to plant orchids for your mother."
"Let there always be a sea of flowers here."
Xu Qing's heart was complicated.
He knew that a month later, it was not only the aurora immortal lord in front of him who died, but also the host he was hosting.
Therefore, this sea of orchids is destined to no longer appear in the future.
Perhaps, this is the reason why he walked through the desert that time, but he didn't see any sea of flowers.
This sea of flowers has long withered over the years.
But he nodded anyway.
Aurora smiled, raised his hand rarely, and touched Xu Qing's head.
"You have to remember one sentence......"
"Your parents cannot accompany you all your life, and your children cannot be by your side all the time, only your Taoist companion...... That's the only person who can stay with you for the rest of your life."
"So, protect her and don't be ...... like me."
"I lost my lover."
Saying that, Aurora stood up and looked at Xu Qing.
"Do you still remember the story I told you about the night when you were a child?"
Xu Qing nodded and spoke softly.
"When night falls, don't go to see you."
This sentence was kept in mind in the memory of this young master of Aurora, and it was extremely profound.
In his memory, the Aurora Immortal Lord had told this more than once.
This made Xu Qing think of the reflection under the ice lake......
And every time the Aurora Immortal Lord appeared in his memory, it was also dawn.
Aurora smiled and nodded, looking at the sunset that was about to dissipate on the horizon.
"It's getting dark, let's go back."
Saying that, the aurora took a step forward and fell.
Heaven and earth are blurred.
In the next moment, the desert is gone, and the sea of flowers is gone.
Xu Qing's figure appeared in the Shaoji Palace, exactly the same as where he left before.
It was as if the experience along the way was just an illusion.
As for the Aurora Immortal Lord, the figure was also gone.
Only the sky ......
When Xu Qing left before, it was a moment of dawn.
And now, it was the moment when the night fell.
The night envelops the earth.
Bright moon, lift off.
……
And at this moment, under the fairy palace, in a mysterious cave.
The lights are bright.
The figure of the Aurora Immortal Lord was moving forward step by step.
But wherever he passed, the lights behind him went out one by one.
And as the night outside fell, the original white clothes on his body were slowly invaded by black, until they were completely rendered and became black robes.
The gentleness on his face has also been replaced by ferocity and evil.
His body trembled faintly, but his steps were still very steady.
Finally, step by step, I walked into the depths of the cave.
Step into a closed cell.
The moment he entered, an iron chain composed of countless runes appeared out of thin air, wrapping around his whole body, constantly blessing and sealing.
And the light also disappeared completely at this moment, falling into pitch blackness.
In this extremely dark space, only low moans and the violent pulling sound of iron chains echoed continuously.
