In winter, thick snow hangs heavily on the branches.
The heavy snow is still falling, seeming to cover the world.
Looking into the distance from the white forest, the mist is steaming, and it is an endless ocean.
People in Gou Shuo Realm named this boundless ocean "Tianyun Sea", which means that this ocean should have been flowing like clouds in the sky. It fell to the world due to some accident a long time ago and has been isolated from the immortal world. Legend has it that if anyone in the world can cross this sea, they can reach the other shore, return to heaven, and become a monk.
I don’t know how many people have this idea, but no one has ever come back.
Some people say that they have become monks, and they will never be able to return to the mortal world. Others say that there is no other shore in the Sky Cloud Sea, and those who set foot on this road can only drown in the water in the end. Such words have been debated endlessly for thousands of years. Even if dynasties change, the debate still exists and the quarrels are endless. But in general, fewer and fewer people are willing to face Tianyunhai.
Because the legend is too ethereal, but my own life is real.
Unless... there is no choice.
In the snow, Shi Xia stepped on the snow and staggered through the dense forest. She was so thin that when she stepped into the snow, the thick snow would reach over her knees. Every time she stepped, she had to exert her strength, and her legs seemed as heavy as lead. The cold wind blew against her face, leaving cracked chilblains.
Thin and thin.
Desperate, he came to Tianyunhai.
Many such people died in the dense forest, and even more drowned in the sea of sky clouds.
There are no boats on the ordinary shore. Many people who want to practice Taoism in a whimsical way walk to the Tianyun Sea and find themselves facing a very realistic and cold test. How can they cross the sea without a boat? If he relied on his own strength, he probably wouldn't be able to walk a few miles, not to mention that it was easy to lose his way due to the thick fog in the sea.
After walking in the wind and snow for an unknown amount of time, Shi Xia passed through the dense forest and came to the beach of Tianyun Sea. She looked at the ocean with her face covered with frostbite in a daze.
The sea is filled with fairyland-like white mist.
"Ha..." She made the last sound in her mouth and sat down slumped.
In the wind and snow blowing in the dense forest, the light of torches flashed, and several figures gradually approached.
The girl didn't even look back.
She should have been afraid.
But at this point, there was nothing she could do. She couldn't even shed tears, and she didn't want to shed tears. If they shed and were frozen on her face, it would make her even colder.
On the contrary, the guards who caught the girl's figure looked delighted. They bowed slightly and held the hilt of the sword hanging at their waist.
They walked in, drew their swords, and put the blades on the girl's neck.
"Speaking of which, I really don't understand. What can you do to make the young master miss you?" One of the guards was disdainful. He pulled out a knife and used it to cut open the girl's already thin clothes. Shi Xia's subconscious was blown by the wind. Trembling, he hit the blade, instantly opening a bloody wound.
"Hey! I thought you were a dead person! You can't move."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Another guard smacked his tongue, "If you have no figure, your beauty... is as cold as a female ghost, has your taste been so bad lately, young master?"
"Forget it, just take it back and call it a day after you find it, and you will receive the reward. A few big men may not embarrass a little girl." The man who was the leader of the three patted Shi Xia's face with a knife and ordered: "You Go with us obediently, we won't embarrass you, but if you have any evil intentions, the sword has no eyes."
Shi Xia didn't move.
The wound that had been opened before was swollen even more horribly by the cold wind, and the blood froze on the surface of the skin, surrounded by a dull deep purple color.
"Oh! Can't you understand?" The frivolous guard was dissatisfied and was about to get angry when he kicked the girl. It was freezing cold, and if they stayed outside for a moment longer, it would be another moment of torture.
But the leading man stopped him with a rather fierce look.
"If I kick you to death, my young master can also kick you and me to death!"
"Damn, you're so unlucky! Bitch, get up!" The guard held his ground and turned around to scold him.
"It's quite...warm." Suddenly, the girl's throat rolled and she said hoarsely.
"What?" The leading man was stunned. His voice was too low and hoarse. They didn't pay attention and couldn't hear clearly.
"I said, it's quite warm." Shi Xia said, this time, her voice was much clearer.
"Warm? Hahaha!" Several people looked at the torches in their hands.
"You go with us to see the young master, why do you have to suffer here in the cold?" "No." Shi Xia shook his head.
She reached out and pointed forward with her purple and swollen fingers.
"It's... warm there."
Several people stopped laughing and looked in the direction of the girl's finger. They saw a vast expanse of white. In addition to the sound of waves, there was only the sound of wind in their ears.
But they shuddered hard, because what the girl said was true, and there was a warmth rising from the sea of clouds in the sky! This warm current was carried by the wind, tearing through the ice and snow, and rushed into their souls. Like suddenly taking a sip of strong wine, empty warmth rose from the bottom of my heart.
The white mist turned red.
The water hitting the shore also turned red at this moment.
Red like...blood!
The hot blood foam was blown onto the shore by the sea water, and even the water mist was dyed blood red. Faintly, a terrifying and low roar seemed to come from the depths of the ocean.
The legs and feet of several guards were weak and their faces were pale.
Their eyes widened, unable to hold the sword, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.
Because a more terrifying scene happened.
In the blood mist, an extremely huge arm passed by the sky above their heads. The arm was covered in blood and emitted an extremely bright divine light. Countless runes were densely arranged and circulated. It was held by the palm of the hand and swung in a circle. Smash it out!
Suddenly the clouds and storms stirred up!
"Uh ah——!" The three guards were bleeding from all their orifices. They witnessed ancient characters that transcended the world. Just by witnessing, these powers affected them, and their heads exploded with a bang! Shi Xia's body was covered with white brains, but she still sat there, motionless.
She was petrified.
Don't want to move either.
The rest of her thinking was just thinking that these people's brains were quite warm, as if they were wearing big cotton-padded jackets.
"Boom——!"
There was a dull sound.
The ground was trembling, and behind Shi Xia, all the thick snow melted instantly. Under the sky, in mid-air near the human world, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared. Shi Xia stared blankly at the giant slowly walking out of the blood mist.
It walks in the sea of sky and clouds, and the sound of the waves echoes across the earth like thousands of thunders!
According to legend, the ocean that separates the two worlds cannot hinder the giant's walking. It has a sea of clouds around its waist and a sacred crown on its head. Finally, it fell down just before reaching the coast. The whole body collapsed, right in front of Shi Xia. Compared with the giant, Shi Xia's figure was not even an insect, but dust at most. When the giant falls, it is Tian Ta.
Also dumped was the rain of blood that overturned this place.
It turns out that the blood that dyed the sky red and the sea of clouds came from this unrivaled giant, and its life came to an end at this moment.
Shi Xia raised his head and met the giant's dying eyes.
That is... what a unwilling and angry look! It seems to be a gathering of overwhelming hatred that can fill the sky and sea of clouds, as well as anger that can tear the entire world to pieces!
Shi Xia was soaked in blood and thought blankly.
"Gou Shuo, is this the name of this world?" Suddenly, there was a whisper of indistinct male and female voices beside her, as if a crowd of people were asking her questions.
Shi Xia turned his head stiffly.
At some point, a figure was drenched in the same rain of blood as her.
The dark gauze covered her entire slender figure, and she could not see the other person's true face through the black gauze. But the extremely deep colors made Shi Xia think of the background of stars and the boundless dark universe.
The other party reached out and tapped the void.
The fallen body that was about to be smashed down by the giant was lifted up, and those branch-like lines were like thousands of arms lifting it up. Then, an ancient tree stretched out of thin air, and its crown crossed the sea of clouds and reached the sky. The giant's body disappeared in Shi Xia's eyes, and the blood rain was blocked by the ancient tree covering the sky and stopped pouring.
What he got in exchange was a jade plaque hanging on the treetop, making a clanging sound.
