Chapter 733 Life is like a dream
A world, a mountain, and a house under the mountain.
It is raining today, the rain is dripping, falling on the trees, falling on the flowers, falling on the ground, probably because of the climate, the rain has never stopped.
It has been raining for several days, making the roads around this mountain very difficult to walk, and some people even don’t want to walk at all. As a result, there are basically no people on this mountain avenue in recent days. It can be said that is very thin.
But at this moment, under the heavy rain, there seemed to be two people running on the road to the mountain peak, making panting sounds.
It was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, and there was another stable woman.
"Quick, quick...my wife is about to give birth..." The middle-aged man hurried and steady, his footsteps were moving, and he was a little flustered.
"Oh...such heavy rain...slow down, don't rush, don't rush." Wen Po complained.
Soon, the two came to a simple house. At this time, there was still a woman's cry of pain in the house.
The middle-aged man was startled when he heard this sound, and quickly ran in with Mrs. Wen.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, without any special features, of course, except for the beautiful woman who is panting by the bedside.
After Wen Po entered the house, she immediately drove the middle-aged man out and began to deliver the baby.
The middle-aged man was very anxious outside, walking back and forth non-stop, even the rain soaked his clothes, but he didn't notice it.
boom! !
Time has passed for a long time, and the sound of thunder in the sky is also accompanied by raindrops, continuously. Hearing the screams of pain in the house, the man's heart seems to be pulled.
"Heaven! I, Zheng Mo, have a baby today. I hope the mother and child are safe! If I can, I would like to swear that I will pray for the heavens for the rest of my life." Suddenly, this person knelt down and shouted loudly.
I don't know if God heard his oath. At this moment, a baby cry came from the house, and it fell directly into the ears of Zheng Mo.
Then, the steady woman's slightly excited voice came over.
"Congratulations! It's a boy, mother and child are safe."
Hearing this, Zheng Mo got up excitedly, and immediately ran into the room, and saw the baby wrapped in common clothes, and the woman smiling at him at a glance.
Until now, he took a deep breath.
However, when he picked up the child and saw the child, a strange feeling immediately permeated his whole body. It seemed that at this moment, he saw something that could not be explained clearly, which made him His whole body was suddenly in a state of emptiness.
He even almost dropped the child on the ground. Fortunately, there was a steady lady next to him to remind him, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
After a period of time, he carefully recalled the scene at that time, but he couldn't remember it anymore.
……
Time flies.
That kid was named Zheng Xin, and he was very smart. He was called a child prodigy by the people in the village when he was only six years old. Almost any problem could not trouble him.
But he has a personality that often does not speak and does not like to meet people.
Among them, especially when he saw his father, he basically had no words.
So it also made his father very distressed. Fortunately, his attitude towards his mother Zhou Xin was better.
But more than that, after he had the ability to act independently, he rummaged through boxes and cabinets at home from time to time, as if he was looking for something very important. When asked by his family, he didn't say anything, so it took a long time. People knew about it, and somehow, it was completely spread out.
It was precisely because of these two things that the name of the strange child fell on him completely.
So, on this day, Zheng Mo found Zheng Xin and wanted to have a good talk with him.
A wooden table, father and son.
The two were silent for a long time, and after that, Zheng Mo, who was already slightly wrinkled, broke the situation.
"Do you have any opinion on me?" Zheng Mo asked directly.
Zheng Xin remained silent.
"I don't know why you don't speak to me, but I am your father, you have to admit it."
"Sometimes, maybe I'm not doing a good job as a father, but I hope you can say it well, and I will be considerate. If there is something I didn't pay attention to and hurt you, then I can change it."
"You are like this, and you don't say a word all day. Your mother and I are also very distressed."
Hearing this, Zheng Xin naturally felt something in his heart, but he still didn't speak.
In this way, the two talked for a long time, no, it should be said that Zheng Mo talked for a long time alone.
Until the end, Zheng Xin still didn't speak.
After it was over, Zheng Xin looked calm, and slowly left Zheng Mo's side...
Looking at Zheng Xin's leaving back, Zheng Mo sighed.
At this time, Zhou Xin came out from the back of the room and sighed, "Oh! What should I do with this child?"
"It's okay, I believe, it will be fine in the future." Zheng Mo shook his head and said softly, but in his eyes, it was full of confusion and complexity.
He had a feeling that he also vaguely knew what his child was looking for, but he still had no specific clue.
Besides, that thing is also very important to him.
Zheng Xin returned to the room, closed the door, and sighed inwardly.
"Who am I? Am I Zheng Xin, or Zheng Xie? Why did I come here? What do I want to do? What am I looking for? My memory...is a bit unclear."
"Oh... that's all, although I'm just a child and have lost all my strength, but I can clearly feel that this should be a new life for me..."
"And in this life of mine named Zheng Xin, they... are my true relatives, but I know, I know that one day I will leave here, so I must not mix too much emotion with this In this period of life, it's not good for them... "
"Then the most important thing now is to find that thing. Although I don't know what it is, I'm sure that it must be in this world..."
"It seems... It is necessary for me to leave here."
Zheng Xin thought, but the night was already dark.
……
The next day.
In the lobby, Zheng Mo looked at the paper left by his child dearly. His heart was cut like a knife. It was his child whose blood was thicker than water. How could he not feel heartbroken when he just walked away like this.
And that Zhou Xin, after knowing this, fell ill immediately.
But on the paper, there were only a few simple words.
"Don't worry, I'll be back."
"I am different from others, and I must find that thing, treasure it."
Looking at these few words, Zheng Mo sat on the stool from early morning to evening.
From evening to late night.
One day, I didn't say a word, one day, I didn't eat anything.
In this way, three days passed.
Zhou Xin's condition was dizziness caused by heartbreak, and it was not a serious problem, so she recovered soon. However, she looked at her husband and hadn't spoken or eaten for a few days. Her heart, except Zheng Xin , and one more person was added.
She actually understands what Zheng Mo needs to do, and also understands what Zheng Mo is thinking about.
As a mother, as a wife.
Some things, she understands.
On this day, she walked up to Zheng Mo's side, forced a smile, and said, "Go."
Hearing this, Zheng Mo's expression was complicated.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
In the end, Zheng Mo was silent for a long time, and after struggling for a long time, he nodded heavily.
"Ah."
……
In a mountainous area about a hundred miles away from Zheng's house, Zheng Xin sat lightly on a tree branch, with his eyes closed, practicing his lost profound strength.
The environment here is excellent, the trees are shady, the road is level, and there are no people or wild animals around, but it is safe. People here do not need to worry too much about danger.
And Zheng Xin didn't know what was going on when she practiced, her speed was extremely fast, and she was able to use profound strength in just a few days.
Although it was only a small part, it was better than nothing for him.
But at this moment, Zheng Xin opened his eyes, but there was doubt in his eyes, because no matter how he operated his profound energy, he couldn't run it as smoothly as he remembered, and even felt a sense of disharmony.
It was as if this profound power did not belong to him.
"What's going on? Logically speaking...it's impossible. Could it be that my memory is confused?"
"It shouldn't be... It seems that there should be something hindering..."
"That's right. It's normal for the new life to have some unpredictability, but until now, I still don't have a clue about that. What should I do?"
But suddenly, just as Zheng Xin's thoughts flashed by, a picture appeared in his mind very abruptly.
It was a mountain, a very huge blue mountain, a mountain he was very familiar with.
"Huh? This is... the line of yellow characters... the big yellow peak?" He muttered, his eyes subconsciously looking in one direction.
"Could it be?" As if he had thought of something important, after thinking for a while, there was a hint of firmness in his eyes, and then he immediately got up and walked in that direction.
But he didn't know that Zheng Mo's figure suddenly appeared here about seven days after he left here.
He was dressed in sackcloth and looked resolute.
In silence, when he saw this place for the first time, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart...
Maybe it was because he felt that someone important to him had been here.
It's just that apart from this feeling, when Zheng Xin was born, the picture he saw was about to appear, and a broken fragment of the picture seemed to appear in his mind.
"This is……"
From time to time, he stabilized his mood.
"Son, no matter what, I will find you." After speaking, he found a direction at random and walked straight over.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or something else...
The direction he was walking happened to be exactly where Zheng Xin was going...Big Yellow Peak.
……
A peak that is exactly the same as the Big Yellow Peak, but there is no one there.
Zheng Xin has been here for nearly ten days, but he still has nothing to gain, which makes his doubts even more serious.
"What's going on? In my feeling, there should be some clues about that thing, but why?"
"No, I can't confuse myself."
"It turns out that this place doesn't have what I'm looking for, so I can't waste any more time here."
Suddenly, when Zheng Xin just had this idea, a map appeared in his mind again.
Zheng Xin was startled, and her expression changed in vain: "Yimugu?"
After thinking for a long time, he slowly calmed down. At this moment, Zheng Xin seemed to understand something...
"Does it mean that I have to walk through all the places that are meaningful to me in my memory to find the clue?"
"If that's the case..."
Suddenly, a trace of determination appeared in Zheng Xin's expression: "Then I'll take a look around. I don't believe it, and I can't find any clues."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Xin got up and walked towards the direction of Yimugu in her mind.
And ten days later, Zheng Mo also came to the Big Yellow Peak.
He frowned, and in his mind, another fragment seemed to rise from the depths of his consciousness, and combined with the previous one.
"There is also his breath here."
Zheng Mo frowned, and set off on his own way again.
Time passed, and it was another ten days.
It's like in a valley in Ichimeya, in a dark cave.
Zheng Xin already had a little understanding of where he was going next, because in his memory, the place he was going next was already clear.
It's just that he was waiting for a hint.
He is not in a hurry, he knows that there are some things that cannot be rushed.
And just as he was waiting, a picture appeared in his mind again.
"Is there a small town?"
Zheng Xin got up, and without hesitation set off towards a small town in her mind.
Not long after, Zheng Mo came to this valley and this cave, but this time was different from the previous two times, the only difference was that he and Zheng Xin left only one day apart.
"It's true! Here, there is his breath."
"Could it be that God is helping me?"
At this point, his gaze unconsciously turned to the sky, but the sky was gray, as if there was nothing.
"No, it should be something else, related to the fragments in my brain."
"But what is it?"
"Forget it, don't think about it, it's more important to find him."
At this time, another fragment was assembled in his mind, but he had already chosen it, so he ignored it for the time being.
There is a small town, far away.
It took Zheng Xin about a month just to walk.
In a small town that looked like a small town, he stayed for a year before leaving.
However, because Zheng Mo didn't have accurate memory, it took him one year and 29 days to come to this small town.
Same as last time, only one day away from Zheng Xin.
Afterwards, the places where Zheng Xin went were the wasteland and the wasteland city.
The locations of these two places are far apart, Zheng Xin practiced while walking, and five years passed.
Five years later, Zheng Mo has more and more wrinkles, and his back is already a little straight. Except for the firm eyes that have not changed, the whole is a little old.
He didn't give up, he was still looking for Zheng Xin, because he had promised Zhou Xin that he would take his child back.
Perhaps only on the road, he felt that he was a father.
During this period, the fragments in his mind were slowly assembling. Although he still couldn't see clearly, he also had an outline.
The next stop is the Mingshen Sect area in the Profound Sky Realm.
But Zheng Xie didn't enter that area, firstly because the faction in this area is not the Myojin faction, but a faction very similar to the Myojin faction, and secondly because in his memory, he didn't have many intersections with the Myojin faction. So he just paused for a while in some places around.
Afterwards, Zheng Mo came. It took him five years to get here, and when he set off again, his oldness became even more serious.
It's just that following the combination of the fragments in his mind, he seemed to see something in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.
Because, that thing is not complete.
Because he still wants to find him.
After the Mingshen sect, it is Huangnu Valley.
It was extremely difficult to find this valley, even according to Zheng Xin's memory, it took almost two years to find it.
Like the Mingshen faction, the terrain of this valley is indeed very similar to the Huangnv Valley, but the power inside is not the Huangnv Valley, but the Phoenix Gate.
And he mixed into this door and stayed there for a long time.
During this time, he knew that the master of this sect was Ye Hua, and later he took in an apprentice named Liu Xi.
It's just that Zheng Xin has no memory of this person except for some familiarity.
This is really impressive!
In a blink of an eye, four years.
In four years, Ye Hua passed away, Liu Xi became the head of the sect, and on one day, a man he knew very well but still had no memory of, came here under the guidance of the head of the sect.
But Zheng Xin felt that it was time for him to leave, and in the end, he still did not hesitate...to leave.
But he still didn't know that not long after he left, the Phoenix Gate experienced a big battle.
In that battle, it was the man he was familiar with who saved the Phoenix Gate.
In addition, that day, Zheng Mo, who was already gray-haired and completely became an old man, also saw this battle.
And the fragments in his mind, after so many years, are only one piece away.
Finally, at this moment, he showed a faint understanding. Although he didn't fully understand, he had already made a decision.
He decided not to pursue Zheng Xin anymore... He planned to return to his hometown.
It wasn't that he gave up, but that he knew that Zheng Xin was about to go back.
Moreover, he had a vague feeling that this would be the last time...
……
Late night at midnight is the beginning of the day and the end of the day...
The red sky is the early morning of the day, and it is also the evening of the day...
Turn the wheel of time, do you no longer hesitate?
Can you see the face of that person clearly?
Open the door of imagination, can you find the answer?
And who, once couldn't see through the mirror, the figure in the distance, is blurred in the eyes of others.
Or maybe it was someone who saw through the youth, as if in the bustling, without looking back, watching Yunyan walk around, bowed his head with a smile, and flicked his fingers.
Perhaps, the dust flying between the fingers is the brilliance that others cannot see, but he knows that the smoke and clouds with the fingers are just a moment of closing his eyes for a few years in the world.
In the end, no longer think, no longer remember, let the beauty of the past stay in the bottom of my heart forever, do not touch the reality, do not touch the true and the false, leave a beauty for yourself, and leave a obsession for others.
After all, what is broken is the intention in the heart, and what is continuous is the obsessive thought of others that haunts him from afar...
Zheng Mo is just an ordinary person, and with his old age, when he returns to his hometown again, another year has passed.
It was midnight when he came back.
Zhou Xin didn't wait for him in the end, he passed away like the wind, he was not there, and he didn't exist...
After so many years, there are not many people who know Zheng Mo in my hometown. It can be said that there are not many things that I can remember in my life.
After returning to his hometown, Zheng Mo seldom went out again, just like an old man, never going back...
Not many people came to see this old man, except some old people like him...
However, Zheng Mo's loneliness was hidden in his heart...
Without everything, without everything that can be...
But he didn't lose the slightest bit of decadence. The corners of his mouth were raised to greet his old age.
Because, he understands something, he has to wait for someone...
One year, two years, three years...
Five years later, on a sunny day, Zheng Mo sat in the courtyard, looking at the gate, and there was another seat on his left.
He already felt that his time was short...
At the same time, he also felt that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
click...
The door was pushed open, and a young man looked at Zheng Mo with confusion and complexity.
"You're here." Zheng Mo said with a smile.
After a moment of silence, the young man said: "Yes."
"Don't think too much. In this life, as my son, watch me go back. At that time, you will understand everything."
"Is that so? You, or me? Can you see all of this? I've been through so much, and I don't know who I am anymore? Can you give me the answer?"
"You can't find something, not because you don't know where it is? It's because it doesn't want to appear, so you can't find it."
"Then do you know?"
Zheng Mo shook his head, but did not speak.
"Okay, I'm not leaving." The young man pondered for a while, and said firmly.
He is Zheng Xin.
After Zheng Xin came back, as he said, she began to settle down and spend time with Zheng Mo, his father in this life.
Not thinking about everything, nor needing to think about everything.
Just like self, like life is like a dream.
Just like a life is true and false, just like a section of life.
Zheng Xin didn't know who she was, and she couldn't find that thing. It might really be that thing, and it hasn't arrived yet.
It's also possible that there is no such thing at all.
In a blink of an eye, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons change, and three years have passed.
This year, winter.
It was snowing heavily and the plum blossoms were blooming beautifully.
Zheng Mo fell ill, on his own bed, at the place where Zhou Xin had passed away.
A thick sense of death surrounds him, and he knows that today is his last day.
Zheng Xin held Zheng Mo's hand, and suddenly there was sadness in her heart. This sadness did not come from the relationship between father and son, but from a feeling, an unknown feeling.
Looking at Zheng Xin, Zheng Mo forced a smile and said, "Don't be sad."
"You can't die yet." Zheng Xin's voice was hoarse, it was a kind of sadness.
"In this life, I will die, but I believe that in another life, I will go to the end with you."
"You...can't die yet." Zheng Xin's voice faltered suddenly, which was also a kind of sadness.
"I told you before that when I die, you will know the answer. Presumably, you already know it. In fact, I am also looking for the same thing as you, but I found it earlier... this one Things, always, always, are by my side."
"Don't say any more... I understand, what I'm looking for is always by my side, so you can't die." Zheng Xin's eyes were a little rosy, unconsciously, he slowly input the profound power in his body It reached Zheng Mo's body, but that still couldn't stop the dead air in Zheng Mo's body from spreading more and more.
That is a kind of ending.
"Oh...thank you."
At this moment, Zheng Mo closed his eyes.
When a person closes his eyes, the whole world no longer exists in his consciousness.
When a person opens his eyes, is the original world still that world?
This is an unanswerable question.
Who is Zheng Xin?
Who is Zheng Mo?
What they were looking for, was it a thing?
All these questions were meaningless the moment Zheng Mo closed his eyes.
And sometimes, in fact, the question does not need a meaning, it just depends on how people think.
Zheng Mo didn't look for it, it doesn't mean he couldn't find it.
Just because Zheng Xin looked for it doesn't mean he can find it.
It's just that when I look back suddenly, what I need may be by my side.
Zheng Xin understood, so in the end, he felt sad.
Zheng Mo understood, so he chose to wait, he chose to die.
Some people say that life is like a dream, and life is actually a dream.
You appear in other people's dreams, and then others appear in your dreams, so there is an intersection.
close your eyes, open your eyes...
In an instant, Zheng Xin also closed her eyes together with Zheng Mo at this moment.
