(更新的时候发现现在已经是2010年了.新的一年,祝大家学习进步,事业顺利.明けましておめでとうございますm(~_~)m)
The setting sun looked as red as blood. A group of jackdaws in the distance were screaming, flying past the sun, flapping its wings and flying back to the nest.
I sat cross-legged on the tall fir tree, with my back against the trunk, staring blankly at the sunset.
It has been a few months since I left home. Now I don’t know where I am. I live with Metasequoia, Shuiyue, Tiantui and Afeng every day, repeating the boring and crazy training of perceiving Naga.
At one point I almost suspected that I was actually kidnapped. Shuiyue and the others told me that they were lying to me. The incredible things I saw were just magic tricks.
Until Shuiyue took me back, she met my mother who passed by indifferently and became Sister Lin, whom I had never known.
The cake shop is being renovated, and the former home was rented out, and my mother bought a larger luxury apartment.
Sister Lin found an ideal job and seemed to be dating colleagues from the new company.
When I returned to my dormitory building, no one greeted me anymore and asked me if I had gone to Ons again.
My room was empty, and according to the administrator, it was a room for miscellaneous items that no one had ever lived in.
People with abilities such as native species and cold jade have never appeared again.
I don’t know when or where the “door” will be opened.
And here, life repeats day after day, time is like being frozen. Is the days of those who are capable so boring?
The night that I left home--
"Are you ready? You may be a little unaccustomed to the first jump."
No problem, I took a deep breath.
"Then, let's go." Shuiyue put her hand on my shoulder.
By the way, I forgot to take the scarf...
Everything around was exaggeratedly lengthened, and the scenery in front of you began to become chaotic and distorted. Purple, yellow and red lines were mixed together, and it seemed that time and space would no longer exist for a moment.
What is this?
I really want to scream, but why can't I even shout?
Leaning on the dry lawn, I smelled the fragrance of the earth. Furious wind blew, and the sound of the woods swaying in my ears.
“Where is this?”
"Who knows," Shuiyue perfunctorily said in a nonsensical way, "We call this place Shambhara."
Not able to complain.
All in all, I am now staying in a place called Shambhala, passing the days bored every day.
"One nine, we're back." Metasequoia Ai waved at me with her head raised under the tree, interrupting my thoughts.
"You go back first, I want to be alone later." I shouted to the tree.
A smile flashed across Metasequoia Ai's face, and she jumped onto a branch that was several meters high. With the elasticity of the bent branches, she soared for more than ten meters and landed in front of me gracefully like a crane.
Then I sat on my lap.
A faint fragrance floated, like being in the forest in the early morning.
Hello, haven't I said that, don't treat me as a cushion.
"What's the matter? You should be happy, Lolicon."
Nonsense, who is the Lolik?
"Of course it's you, otherwise why would you give me a child-like appearance?"
You look like a girl, and you are the one who created you, right? What does it have to do with me?
"Hehe, it's all you, it's great to see you look young."
For some reason, since I came to "Shambala", Metasequoia's attitude of love suddenly became gentle. Not only did she no longer speak harshly to me, she also worked like a housewife, cleaning my room every day and cooking for me from time to time. At night, she would pester me and play fighting games with him. Although this girl was extremely powerful in actual combat, she was a very amateur in the game. Every time she lost the game, she would pounce on me and bit my ears in anger.
We suddenly became this kind of relationship because Metasequoia love was created by me before, and this thing was known by me now.
To be clearer, the girl sitting on my lap is simply a father controler.
Of course, she would not admit this. According to her, everyone is a capable person, and super-powered person does not distinguish between parents, siblings.
This is just her stubborn voice. She found out that it was the copper red color I used to be when I was a child. How could she say it had nothing to do with me?
"Now, 19a created mine under this tree."
"Is it this tree?"
"Well, Shuiyue, who was created as a capable person, could not recognize her identity and always wanted to return to human life. She suffered a long time, and it was not until his family and friends died that she could barely accept reality. She took all these into consideration and vowed that she would never use people to create a capable person again."
Those who use human creativity sound like vampires, increase companions by sucking blood.
"But there were too many native species at that time, and he and other abilities could not resist and needed more helpers."
"So you start trying to create abilities out of thin air."
Out of thin air? Can such a thing be created out of thin air?
"Of course it's not that simple. It uses various elements contained in the human body to build it according to the structure of the human body. It sounds similar to alchemy. With the help of Ah Feng, you made a lot of dummys. They look like humans, but no matter what method you use, they can't become real "humans". Finally one day, you think under this tree that life is not just one form, such as this tree is also life. What you want to do is to make the dummys produced have normal metabolic activities, so I created me from the life of this fir tree. In fact, this is just an ordinary fir tree, but you think it is a metasequoia, so you use metasequoia as my surname."
That's right. At first I thought you and Shuiyue were brothers and sisters.
"Shuiyue is his name before his death. My name was given by you."
In this way, I know what your name means. Love is the name of my favorite singer.
"Is that so? You've never told me before!"
Like a child who discovered the marbles that had been lost under the bed for a long time, Metasequoia's eyes became bright.
"Also, don't look at Shuiyue having your memory, but when I was born, I didn't know anything. So I started to study again, first learned to speak, and then read a lot of books. I remember dozens of encyclopedias in my mind. Not only that, I also remember a lot of literary books, such as the first act of "In Rome" by Strinburg is..."
At this time, Metasequoia Love seemed to have become a child, proudly reporting her exam results to her parents. It is difficult for me to associate the girl sitting on my lap with the person I met when I first met.
"What about Leng Yu? I heard Shuiyue say that he was also created by me."
Metasequoia Ai's eyes, which had just shining just now, dimmed, and a shadow was covered with a layer of shadow on her face.
"I don't want to hear this name, so it's better not to ask me about his affairs."
I was in such a good mood just now, why did I suddenly feel so depressed when I heard the name of the boy who called you sister?
"Okay, okay, I'm back." Ai Metasequoia stood up and shouted, then pushed the branches off for me.
Hello! It's too dangerous, it'll kill people!
While adjusting my landing posture in the air, I glanced at the surrounding branches that could be used to buffer. Metasequoia, who was swooping from behind, raised me upwards and rushed towards the ground at a faster speed.
Thanks to her, I could finally land on all fours like a cat, not badly, with the girl who tried to murder me hovered tens of centimeters from the ground, landed to the ground at a very slow speed, looking at me with a bad look on her face.
"Oh, why have you been so polite?"
Yes, I really have to thank you for pushing me down from the tree just now.
"People mouth." Metasequoia turned her face and walked away on her own.
Today is Shuiyue and Afeng responsible for dinner. The dinner is a vegetarian hodgepod, a large pot of peanuts, mushrooms, kelp, fungus, and oil tofu are gusting and steaming, making people salivate.
In fact, those with ability do not care whether they eat or not, but Tian Tui said that if those with ability do not grow old and die, they will not eat or drink, then life will be too boring? So they have to have a big meal at least once a week.
In my opinion, this is the absolute truth.
"Puff!" Tian Tui took a big sip of beer, "It's so satisfying! Haha, I really have to drink ice beer in peacetime. There was no such good thing during the Millennium War!"
"You're here again," A Feng said as she picked up food for everyone, "Drink less wine, there will be roasted matsutake later."
"Haha, roasted matsutake! I miss it. How long have I not eaten it? It's been 3,400 years."
Tian Tui's tone seemed to be talking about what happened three years ago.
"Hey, about 400 years ago, the eighth religious war." As he said, Afeng smiled and grabbed a large piece of oil tofu into Xiao Ai's plate.
"How much did we get after that war?"
"Who remembers this kind of old sesame and bad meat?"
While Ah Feng poured wine for Tiantui, he also told stories that sounded a long time ago.
"Have A Feng and Tiantui known each other for a long time?" When I asked, Xiao Ai lowered her head and ate kelp with her mouth wide. Shuiyue had a constant smile on her face, and she drank herself next to her.
"I have known each other for hundreds of years. When I first saw Tiantui, he was still a young boy."
"Ability, isn't this not aging?" I asked in confusion at the stout uncle in front of me.
"At that time, he was not a capable person, I rescued him from the pile of dead people."
"Wow, it's amazing."
"After a battle, our team was completely destroyed except me. In order to be hired in the future, we must find a few helpers. Seeing that he is strong, he saved him."
"A Feng was a mercenary at that time?"
"Well, like in the Middle Ages, our team had five people, all of them capable people. The captain was a lancer."
"Essentials will die when fighting ordinary people?"
To be continued...
