Chapter 139 Please Next Time
So, Xinghan took a deep breath and gathered his final will and spiritual power.
He closed his eyes and allowed his mind to connect with the natural elements around him.
At that moment, he seemed to be able to feel the pulse of the earth, the breathing of the wind, the flow of water... and the source of life of those green creatures.
He suddenly opened his eyes, with a determined light flashing in them, and began to guide the natural elements around him, transforming them into his own power.
As his mind moved, the originally ferocious green creatures began to slow down and become confused, and eventually lost their ability to attack. Under his control, the mountains gradually calmed down and returned to peace.
Xinghan stood in the deep valley, looking at the surrounding scene which had returned to tranquility, and an indescribable sense of accomplishment surged in his heart.
And the mysterious figure also revealed his true identity in this storm.
His face was pale, and his eyes showed both reluctance and admiration.
"You win, Xinghan. Your courage and wisdom make me ashamed of myself." He whispered.
Xinghan smiled slightly, feeling very satisfied. "In that case, could you please show your true self and let me see your face?"
As the truth about the mysterious figure was revealed, a hint of surprise and relief flashed in Xinghan's eyes.
He had never expected that this unpredictable opponent with whom he had fought for several rounds was actually the legendary Onmyoji Shikigami - SSR Bu Jianyue.
This sudden change of identity makes this battle not just a contest of strength and skill, but also seems to imply a certain interweaving of fate.
"Onmyoji's Shikigami... SSR Missing Yue?"
Xinghan muttered to himself, his eyes filled with awe and curiosity.
He walked closer slowly, and saw that the scroll in Yue's hand was simple and elegant, and seemed to contain endless stories and secrets.
"Yes, I am the shikigami summoned by Onmyoji, SSR Bu Jianyue."
Bu Jianyue's voice was gentle and deep. He gently handed the scroll to Xinghan.
"Someone asked me to give this scroll to you. It also has a message: 'I have been looking for you.'"
Xinghan took the scroll, gently stroked the delicate surface of the scroll with his fingertips, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
These words, "I've been looking for you," are simple yet heavy, as if they have crossed the barriers of time and space, conveying some deep longing and expectation.
"Who... is looking for me?" Xinghan looked up at Bu Jianyue, his eyes full of confusion and desire.
Bu Jianyue shook his head slightly, a trace of guilt on his face.
"I'm sorry, I don't know the specific identity of the client. He just said that when you see the painting, you will understand everything."
At that moment, Xinghan suddenly realized that he was in an unprecedented challenge of Shikigami. In this ancient and mysterious valley, every battle is not only a contest of strength, but also a test of wisdom and will. He knew that if he could successfully defeat these Shikigami, he would have the opportunity to sign a contract with them and become a partner to fight side by side. At this moment, Bu Jianyue, the gentle but unfathomable SSR Shikigami, had quietly been taken under his command.
Xinghan looked at Bujianyue, his eyes sparkling with admiration and joy. He said jokingly, "I didn't expect that you are so powerful that I could easily subdue you." Bujianyue smiled faintly upon hearing this. That smile showed both recognition of Xinghan's strength and a kind of indifference. "Without strength, how can you walk freely in this world?" He responded softly, revealing a kind of open-mindedness and confidence after experiencing vicissitudes of life.
Then, Xinghan remembered another urgent task. He turned his gaze to Bu Jianyue and asked sincerely, "Master Bu Jianyue, I have another request. Can you help me break open Shen Li's hole? There is an important thing I need to find hidden there."
Upon hearing this, Bu Jian Yue nodded slightly, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.
"Of course, Master Xinghan. Since we are already companions, your business is my business. But... if you ask me to do this, it will take 10 hours and 300 physical strength. After 10 hours, I will naturally complete this task for you..."
His words were gentle but firm, as if all difficulties would be easily solved before him.
"That's really... too polite. But, I don't think I need your help again. Thank you. Next time, please."
When Xinghan heard this, although he felt unwilling, he could only suppress his curiosity temporarily.
He slowly unfolded the scroll and saw that what was painted on the picture was not mountains or rivers, nor flowers, birds, fish or insects, but a young man looking up at the starry sky under a brilliant starry sky, his eyes flashing with desire and yearning for the unknown world.
The young man's face was somewhat similar to Xinghan's.
"This is……"
Xinghan's voice trembled slightly. He seemed to see his own shadow in this painting and his love and pursuit for the stars.
"Perhaps, this painting is your answer. Mission accomplished, I will return to my place." Bu Jian Yue said softly, "Everyone has a starry sky in their heart, and your path is guided by these stars."
Xinghan's mind suddenly became clear after hearing this. He realized that whether it was the previous battle or the scroll that suddenly appeared, it was the wheel of fate turning quietly, leading him to a wider world.
"Thank you, Bu Jianyue." Xinghan put away the scroll and bowed deeply to Bu Jianyue. "Your appearance has made me more resolute in my belief - I really am... quite relevant, hahaha, but the more I know, the more confused I am. But thank you for making the trip anyway."
Bu Jianyue smiled slightly, with a glimmer of approval in his eyes.
"I admire your courage and determination. May your path to the stars always be bright and dazzling."
After saying this, Yue’s figure gradually faded away, and finally turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the void.
Xinghan, on the other hand, tightly grasped the scroll in his hand and watched the world around him disappear.
The towering mountains, the gurgling rivers, the invisible figure of Yue, and the challenging illusion seemed to be just a dream bubble, which suddenly disappeared with the return of Xinghan's consciousness.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and the melodious and slightly mysterious music was still echoing in his ears. It was the unique melody of the five-colored Yaoqin, leading him across the boundary between reality and illusion. This was...
Xinghan tried hard to recall everything he had experienced. He had an idea that this process was very similar to a psychological consultation or hypnosis state. Could it be that what he experienced was a spiritual journey? !
